MADE THREE-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT POLL Do you favor a oonstitu,tional amendment preventing a third .term for a president? I am not in favor of such an amendment. If he is honorably elected and desired by the people, I see no reason why tradition should stand in the way of their choice. A strong presioent, such as the late F. D .

Thus, necessity might well require more than two terms. -Wm. Fierverker. , I am in favor of such an amendment. I do not believe any man to be indispensable . -Myrtle Fowler . . No. Such an amendment is not necessary as it will not promote democracy. Except for extreme emergencies, presidents have and will continue to follow the tradition set by George Washington.

Each of these efforts did not count as long as t hey were expended for the benefit of the individual alone.

With •t he returning gif,t of peace, we must be ever mindful that it is a gift to be shared. That the lives and broken bodies sacrificed in the purchase of so high priced a commodity, deserve the immot'tality of remembrance . Upon us, the recipients of this gift, lies the responsibility of never permitting its cos-t to be made little of, or forgotten. An indelible impression can be maintained only by the memory, no other faculty can serve this purpose. Lasting imprssions are those that touch the soul. A state approaching that of "Holy Communion", when Christ Himself sought to be rememhered with the words, "This do in remembrance of me" is necessary. This is our duty, let us lose ourselves in the effort. This peace must be shared by all or lost to everyone. Out memory of it ma kes it a gift beyond price to the generations of the future, or makes this closing struggle another payment for a few days of peace. -Elmer Davis. This fall Bucknell University will increase its offering of extension cours es. The program will be so extended that students complet ing two years at the Junior College will then be able to complete a third year of work in Wilkes-Barre. This arrangement between the University and the Junior College will permit students who plan to graduate f r om the University to continue their work at the Junior College for an additiona l year. The group taking this third year in Wilkes-Barre will then transfer to the Unive rsity for their last year, unless the College in Wilkes-Barre is meanwhile chartered as a four-year insti·tution . This progra m was dec'ided upon by the administration and Trustees of the College and University, in an effort to extend further educational opportunities in Wilkes-Barre . It is an intermediate step between the Junior Colle ge work, and the work that will be offer-ed when the College obtains its four-year charter. The veterans who have spent several years of service abroad, at several instances have reported that they desire to •take up their college work while living at home . It is for ·this reason that the University and the Junior College awth-orities decided to expand the extension program, and continue their eff,o rts to obtain a charter required for a four-year college. In addition to the classes that will be offered -to ,t he graduates of the Junior College, a number of graduate classes will be offered to teachers. These. will include courses in History, Political Science, Sociology, English, Education, and Sciences. These courses will count toward a master's degree, and will thus enable teachers -to qualify for an increase in salary offered under the new program of the state. The courses offered by the University will be s-o varied that teachers may obtain a master's degree in subjects that they can teach, or qualify for administrative positions by obtaining a master's degre-e in Education . ----V---- A NOTE OF APPRECIATION .

COOPERATION Wednesday, September 5, 1945. During the past decade we have witnessed a progress in science so rapid in its pace, so revealing in its nature, and so tremendous in its influence on all people ,t hat we stare half-dazed with bewilderment into a somewhat uncertain ftuture world. Needless to say, the climax was reached recently when that dread,e d of all weapons, the atomic bomb, went plunging downward on a Japanese city to result in a devastation that would m.ake an ordinary bomb appear to be but a pin-prick. The apex of all scientific achievements, this new weapon not only represents an amazing invention that brought about a hastened peace but also an instrument to aid in a lasting peace, lest we plunge civilization into a chaos that would ring to the very depth with pain and horror. The atomic bomb is on the lips of all people, from the eager scientist who probes into the mystery of the atom to the small lad who is now shooting atomic bombs with his dummy machine gun. It has become the favorite topic of discussion and indeed it should, for it is incredibl,e in its make-up and effective results. Whether it be from the barber in your home town or the chattering housewife next door the question is: "What will become of the world of tomorrow should such a horrible inS t rument pass into the hands of a war-minded nation?" Ap-p arently many believe that this inventi·o n is the worst possible thing that could happen to manki nd a nd wi th such a pessimistic attitude they anticipate a world gone mad and heedless of all the real truths and cherished principles. On the other hand there is the group who picture a con~rolle~ utilization of this great mven-tlon for_ th e good_ of people and not their destruction. I favor the optimistic viewpoint and would like to point out some favor~b!e arg_ume_nts !n defense of th1 s invention m 'th1 s P 0st -war era. First, we can't ,o verlook the effectiveness of the atomic bomb in terminating World War II and saving the countless thousands o.f lives that may have otherwise perished. For this alon.e we should be ever grateful to those men who made this instrument possible. Instead these same scientists are being unjustly reprimanded when they should be praised. They are already being accused for bringing •o n a future, more horrible W -o rld War III Are we not crossing the bridge before we come to it? Let us reason more carefully the role that the atomic bomb plays in preserving a world peace. The key to a lasting peace is education - education of the masses of people and not a minority. A leader cannot be suecessful without the support of his foll·o·w ers, h •e n,c e a war cann•O't be staged without the baicking of the people -o f a nation. Unlike previous wars World War II had reached all parts of the globe and th e results of th is c-onflict have taught all people the pain and sicke111ing heartaches it brings The realization of the horrors of a future world war is not possessed by a f~w people, but .b_y th e m~s_s of th e ~eople. ~his reoogn1t1on wouldn t be possible without the scientific achieve- Pause a moment and think of the word cooperation. You have heard it before. Are you sure you know what 'it means or have you been under an illusion all your life? Do you sit back and wait for people to serve you, to make sure you're having a good time? How much have you done to give yourself and others a good time? The Student Council represents every student in this school. It carries out your wishes. It plans . f h l f . activities and programs or t e so e purpose o satisfying you. Are you satisfied? NO!

Get m the swing of things. Don't let the same few do all the work. Take an active part. Supp_ort the school I and show the school that 1t can depend Prog-rams . on you. ments this war has instigated. We have been taught the excessive fear of the atomic bomb and this among the many other instruments o·f war makes us realize the futility o.f war. We know another conflic,t would be almost intolerable. The atomic bomb is a climax to the realization of theh horrors of war-it also is a powerful safety measure in keeping peace. This effect has already been noticed in ·~he bringing about of an earlier termination of the war with Japan . The question is: "Will this weapon pass into the hands of a war minded nation and if it does should we be alarmed? " The answer is very probable that this invention may pass into the wr-ong hands but I feel it has no bearing m the m.am argument. As a matter o.f fact, a more powerful weapon than the atomic bomb could still be invented by other nations although at the present this seems improbable. The main point remains, that is, so long as the people realize the dreadful results of these powerful mventions, no nation will attack the other. This means that we must place our weapons and our techniques in the control of the United Nat~ons so that in the event that a nation steps out of line they will realize before hand how futile their cause is. However, we should not rely on th e a,tomic bomh or any othre scientific invention as a means for securing peace. We have learned that peace is not obtained by instilling fear into the people. On th e contrary, we should strive for understanding and good will am.o ng nat1·ons and only use instruments of warfare by consent of the United Nations for the protection of peace. Used in this way, th e atomic bomb is an added measure to strengthen the United Nations. This will give added confidence in the feeling of security to the smaller nations. Finally, it is said that with the harnessing and control of atomic energy the people of this earth will become scientifically mad to the extent that all basic truths will vanish in·to thin air. They contend that science will make us so materially minded that a third great conflict 1s inevitabJe. I definitely disagree with any such thinking-surely the control and utilization of atomic energy will affect us but only to the ext,e nt of a more efficient machine to add to our conveniences. When the automobile and airplane came into existence the same feeling prevailed among the people-the world has gone mad! Even with the supposition tha-t science \lr. ill take great strides in perfecting the control of atomic energy which incidentally is a costly adventure and prese11'-:' a practical economic problem in peace time, people will still realize that h l 11 b t ere is and a ways wi e a gap between the finite scientific mind and infinite spiritual mind.

HISTORY The other day as I was on my way to the library, I overheard two prominent freshmen engaged in the foll.owing conversation : First Frosh-How are you making out in History? Second Ditto-Not too badly now, I was confused for a time, with those Greek characters . First-Yes I can understand the situation . I have just begun to become more familiar with the course . Second-Did you get that part where Rameses, the ruler of Egypt led his people on the second crusade to the Holy Lands to attend the meeting of the First Triumvirate which consisted of Marc Antony, Napoleon, and St. Patrick? First-Yes, but the part I was really interested in was the Peloponession War when those forty Trojans took their stan.d at Waterloo and defeated the French army led by Henry VIII. If some army tanks had been sent in the archers would have been routed. Second-How 1s Chemistry coming? First-Fine! I have perfected a new variation of Hydrogen Sulfide which has an odor similar to Evening in Paris. I have even learned that coke is a by-product of Barium made during the Solvay Process.

No. 8 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Thursday, October 4, 1945 Veterans Study At B. U. .C. Inaugurate Big Brother, Big Sister ·Idea Bucknell University Junior College will adopt the Big Brother and Big Sister idea next semester. Meetings, con.ducted by the students of the college, have indicated that they are. in favor of adopting this policy. The basis of such a proposal is to enlighten and encourage new students entering the college. In former semesters, new freshmen entering the college were totally lost. · Not knowing anyone and in a completely new atmosphere many of them found themselves bewildered at the change in their environment. In fact, some of them were still wondering where this or that classroom was located, or who that person · was, a week after the semester had started. _ This Big Brother and Big Sister idea will operate in the following manner: An upperclassman will take charge of one of the new students. It will be his duty to inform and guide the new stude'n t whenever possibl,e until he adjusts himself -to his new environment. ----·* --- Air Education Spreads Air education among the youth of the country has increased to such an extent that additional millions of students and youngsters of both sexes will be enrolled in av1at1on courses in sch_o ols and colleges this fall , it was disclosed in a survey made public by the Air Transport Association of America. The A. T. A. also reported that as a part of the spread of air education, more than a score of airminded organizations are promoting projects in various fields. These organizations, both governmental and civilian, aim especially to advance programs intended to impress adults as well as the youth with the role -that aviation must play in the maintenance of world peace and in the development of · world trade and amity among nations. In addition, it pointed out that between five and six million person-s have become air-minded through flight or· ground service in the Army, Navy and Marines, or .t hrough work in aircraft fac•t ories, and they will join the legions in support of a national policy of full "air power." In sum- total, the survey indicated that the m/ort formidable segment of populatiofi in our history is lining up behind air education and air power as essential Veterans At ·B. U. J.C. In J un-e, 1944, the first veteran enrolled at Bucknell. Fifteen discharged men have registered since then. Advance ,e nrollment for the fall term indicates that more and more veterans are taking advantage of their opportunity to receiv-e training from the government. The G. I. Bill states that eligible persons ar-e entitled to a minimum of one year and a maximum of four years. All service men and women with honorable discharges who have had more than ninety days of service and were not over twenty-five at the time of entrance into the service, are eligible for training. Also all service men and women incapacitated, ten per cent or more by service-connected disabilities, are entitled to training for "vocational rehabilitation." Admission to the college is contingent upon the presentation of satisfactory scholastic records or the passing of entrance examinations. The purpose of this Bill is to give each veteran an opportunity to gain training that will be of greatest benefit to him.

THE BUCKNELL BEACON ATTENTiQN! for --~*--- AN APPEAL TO OUR ALUMN~ ;t b --~* �'hursday, October 4, 1,945 The A. Y. H. And Hosteling The mention of the American ' .{ outh Hostel Association seems ~o bring little or no response. Obviously, not much is known. about this organiza,t ion which is now in its budding stage and is just beginning to d isplay its petals as the bud unfolds. In the United Sta,t es it has celebrated it~ tenth anniversary. One thousand Americans hold membership cards which for twen-ty· five cents extra may have a foreign sticker attached to the pass, making it valid in any of the nineteen other coun,t ries in the ' International Youth· Hcistel Assoc1at1on. Yes, nationally and in,t ernationally, ti.is organization is still in its embryological state. Looking forward to the day when there will be an overnight in every community, the A . Y. H. on the sponsored trips must direct the hosteling group to go by train ( no charge for the bicycle) to the ifirst hostel in on·e of the many chains ex,t ending through the New England St:Hes, the Southeast, the Great Lakes region, the •Mid-West, and the Southwest. On the trips under the direction of the national headquarters at Northfield, Massachusetts, the hosteler deposiots the stipulated cost for the trip at this head office. The leader of the sponsored group draws from this fund as the needs of the group become more acute . However, personally, I feel that it is best to hostel "lone ranger" style or wLth your own select group. The object is not to cover a certain number of miles in a day, but rather just to hike or bicycle along heedless to the mileage. The joy of hosteling is forfeited when one thinks only of the steady, monotonous foot movement. Most hostelers average from fifteen to thit1ty miles per day; many, siioty. Since I have a limited .1mount of time in which to cove.,- my planned itineraries, it is not unusual for me to average from one hundred fifty to t•- · "uridred miles in a day. Neventheies·s, I still cast the advice to you ito ride at a reasonable rate ,enjo_y the scenery, talk with that farm\er or that pre,t,ty girl, eat heartily at regular self-appointed titmes, take an occasional res,t, and ,,leep well at night. Put this all t1ogether and you have hosteling--a world of fun, relaxation, sirr:tple living, fellowship , and abidir,tg friendships. To describe a hosteling day in print or bi word of mouth would be uninter.·esting and perhaps boring, but 1_there is great romance in cycling .. Appreciation can come only thrc\1,.1gh experience.

Before I crossed the newly-constructed Rainbow Bridg;e into Niagara Falls, New York , the caretaker of Victoria Park kindly consented to take my pictu·re with the falls in the backgrou,:1d.

A large majority of them spent Friday evening, September 21, ferreting .out the most amazing objects and facts, in the hope of winning .tickets to Wilkes-Barre's Comerford •t heater. The occasion was a scavenger hunt, sponsored by the Student Council. The students went out in small groups, on foot, since autos were forbidden to the par-P.,icipants. They reported to Chase Hall at 9:30, and after the hunt, prizes were awarded. Members of the winning student group were Angelo Licata, Bruno Bujno, Reese Pelton, Shirley Mason, and Irene Wienckowski. Listed below are the ten "points" given to the students prior to the hunt: 1. On what street is parking meter No. Fl66 located? 2. Bring back the signature of the desk sergeant on duty at the Wilkes-Barre Police Station. 3. Bring back book matches from the Spa. 4. Bring back a 1944 license plate. 5. Find out how long it takes the red light 011 the corner of Washington and East Market Streets to turn from red to green. 6. Bring back a baby's rattle. 7. Bring back one ticket stub from the Comerford Theatre and one ticket stub from the Penn Theatre. . 8. How m,any names are on the eas.t side of the Honor Roll which is on Public Square opposite the Capitol Theatre? 9. How many windows are in the Conyngham building? 10. How many miles it is from Public Square to Harrisburg? 11. How many park benches are on the River Common between South Street and the Market Street Bridge? 12. How many doors are on the ·t welfth floor of Hotel Sterling? At the end of the evening, students gratefully expressed their thanks to Dr. Craig, who had volunteered to chaperone the event. ----¥-- --- Informal Tea Held On Friday, August 24, an informal tea was held in the women's lounge by the members of the Beta Gamma Chi.

Have you by any chance watched our bow-and-arrow beauties as they tried to imitate Robin Hood? The other day there was a horrible shriek from ye olde campus and yours truly rushed out in time 'to hear an upper freshman scream, "After two years I have finally hit the target." Then ther,e was a mad rush as the girls scrambled on top of the brick wall and towards the theatre to retrieve the arrows. One enterprising young man set an apple on his head; s·t ood in front of the target, and asked the girls to split the apple. After he walked away with the whole apple I asked him why he stood in front of the target. He replied that it was the safest place around the campus during archery periods. But seriously, orchids to Rhuea Williams for her skill in this sport. The other day Alberta Novick went nonchalontly to the telephone booth to make a call ( of course). Angelo Licata, with a grin on his face, followed her in, winked his eye, and closed the door. A minute later they emerged. The remark was made : "You must have wiped the lipstick off rather quick, Ang." Before anything else could be said, Alberta whirled around and said, "But my lipstick doesn't come off." Draw your own conclusions. Have you •t ried to get a copy of the Iliad or Odessey lately? Every library within a 1,000-mile range of Wilkes-Barre is completely "lent-out." The book stores are wondering just why so many people have taken an interest in classical literature. Little do they know that term papers in English Literature will soon be due at Bucknell and that reading the:se are part of the r,e quirements. Lucky Engineers! We hear that at the recent swimming-hiking party, the girls had a little trouble with a flat tire. Everyone whom they flagged said that they would go down the road and send help, but for some reason it never did arrive. (natch.) It just goes to prove how much women depend on the male sex, and shows that no woman should be allowed to drive who cannot fix a flat or blowout.

SYMONOLEWICZ This year Bucknell welcomes to its faculty Dr. Douglas H . Orrok, instructor in French and Spanish. Claiming Arlington, N. J ., as his home town, Dr. Orrok was educated in the local schools there, Mercersberg Academy in Pennsylvania, Amherst College, and Columbia University. Recently, he taught at Texas Tech., Ouachita College in Arkansas, and Ecole Mc}annet in France. Among his favorites, he lists skiing in Massachusetts, hunting in Texas, and-mushroom omelette! Dr. Orrok thinks Bucknell is "tops" and his opinion of Wilkes-Barre in that same category. Coming to Bucknell after having taught mathematics for 20 years at Nanticoke High School, we have Mr. Stanley Wasilewski. It was at the University of Pittsburgh that Mr. Wasilewski received his B. S . in Electrical Engineering and at Bucknell University that he received his M. S. in Mathematics. He spends his leisure time at home with his five children; in his workshop, or in his library. Teaching has always been something that gave Mr. Wasilewski great pleasure and doing it at Bucknell even adds to tha,t pleasure, we are informed. One of our most dintinguished teachers is Professor Constantine Symonolewicz .. Mr. Symonolewicz needs tio introduction to those who have him in Sociology or Economic Geography classes; however, the rest of us are not so fortunate. Professor Symonolewicz was born in Poland, but he also resided in Manchuria while his father was Consul. His father, upon returning from the East, became engaged in journalism, and Professor Symonolewicz also did some of this work.

He then transferred to ,t he Signal Intelligence Service of the Signal Corps and was sent to Tunis. In March, 1944, he proceeded to Italy and was stationed at Naples, Bari, and Caserta. Finally, he was returned to the States in August, 1945, and discharged in September. We are sorry we cannot report exactly what Mr. Disque did in the Intelligence Service, except that he was a cryptoanalysist, because it appears there are still military secrets.

SPEAKS TO PRE-MEDS ALUMNI NEWS STUDENT POLL Do you think that the United States should give up the secret of the atomic bomb? If so, do you think that the United States should give it to the United Nations or only to her Allies: Britain, Russia, China? Give your reasons. No. Most other countries have almost completed their own research on the matter, and in the interval until they complete their work our retention of the secret will keep things under control. -S. B. Hettig. I think the "secret of the atomic bomb" lies mainly available to anyone who can, through his resourcefulness, industry and ability to acquire enough financial backing, apply the principles that are of universal knowledge in the scientifice world. - Jack Hayes. No. The invention of the atomic bomb has released a power so destructive that it could destroy the whole world. By limiting the knowledge of the bomb to the United States we prevent the possibility of such destruction by providinb a definite check on it. -Nelda Brounstein. The secret should be shared universally after proper diplomatic disposition regarding its use in good faith by all. -Edward J. Wasilewski. The atomic bomb if not controlled; might cause the destruction of the universe. I believe the United States should guard the secret until such a time as all its aspects have been considered and its control, a certainty. -Mary Martin . For the protection of our country we should keep the secret of the atomic bomb. With so patent a threat to our future enemies we would not be attacked and we would not have to institute compulsory military training. -Ernest James. The census of opinion of the scientists · who made the atomic bomb possible is that this invention should at least be partially shared with the United Nations. The scientists claim that it is very· probable that other nations could make considerable progress in the atomic field in the not too distant luture. Hence in the long run they deem it advisable to share it by putting the invention in the hands ol the United Na( Continued on page 4) !>t"l:(..;IAL ASSEMBLY HELD A special assembly of the Bucknell University Junior College student body was held Thursday morning, November 8, at the First Presbyterian Church. The speaker was Mr. Louis Alber, distinguished author and world trav• eler, whose topic was "Fascism Must Be Destroyed." Mr. Alber stated that "the young men of this generation were compelled to fight and die on many battlefields throughout the world because ,t heir fathers and mothers were too stupid." He emphasized the fact, although we have a vast store of knowledge, we allow that knowledge -t o lie dormant. Appealing to the young people assembled, he said that we should realize that we have a double responsibility to see that World War III does not take place. Drawing from his own travels, experiences and associations with the various countries, Mr. Alber illustrated that this war did not happen by accident, but was planned as far back as 1921. At this time -t he Junkers, who had retired at the conclusion of World War I, one~ again held strategic positions as a result of easy peace terms. They sought to weaken the people's vote and create confusion; they continued the practices of feudalism. The theory of geopolitics, which was responsible for Germany's mif.itary success in its early stages, was also developed in 1921. Mr. Alber related the meetings he had had with German explorei;s, who refused to state why they were exploring ,t he southern tip of South America. Since that time, it has become evident that these explorations were designed to lead to the conquest of this country. Mr. Alber stressed the fact that the feudal system ha·s not become extinct. Countries such as Czechoslovakia succeeded in establishing political democracy, but not social democracy. The speaker held that democracy is favored by all peoples for it offers the most opportunity. He insisted tha,t the estabHshment of a successlul democracy is not restricted to Americans-we are all descendan•ts of Europeans and we have made democracy work. The leudal system, so long as it persists, offers an obstacle to world democracy. Mr. Alber concluded that leudal power could be destroyed il America used her military strength intelligendy. .1 1.1:;1..ux-y Ul.

He is now teaching a course in Polish at the College, and he has command of seven lauguages. Professor Symonolewicz came to the United States in 1939 with his wife and daughter. He was then the Polish Consul to the United States. However, he felt that he was not doing his utmost at his diplomatic position, therefore he resigned his post to teach at Alliance College, Cam-bridge Springs, Penna. ---~*·---- ORIENTATION PROGRAM One cool morning on the fif. teenth of October, we reported bright and early to the Registrar for our schedules. While there we were informed as ,t o the identity of our faculty advisor. After meeting our advisor, and preparing ourselves for a language placement test, we journeyed to ,t he Hotel Sterling to take part in the all-student luncheon. After a delicious meal we took the scholastic aptitude and the reading tests. Thus our first busy day at college ended after attending the reception for all students. Our second day, which we had been patiendy awaiting, started in due time and we began our classes. These, however, were shortened to allow ample time for the pr•.>grams which followed.

However, the usual.run of work, work, and more work has left us only time to dream. But, our staff has grown to unusual proportions and with a fair division of labor, we have succeeded in enlarging and bettering the Beacon. There are new feature articles, representations from all Student Clubs and Organizations, also the Dormitory, more news on Student Activities, and for the information of the male population there will be a sports column in the near future. There is one thing we would like and that is to hear from you. This is your paper and your activities. If you have any suggestions about a column or any type of news you would like, just tell us about it, or if you're bashful, jot it down and drop it in the Beacon Office. We'll do our best for you and give your suggestions careful consideration. Come on, you Bucknellians, let's hear those criticisms and those suggestions; we mean those which usually start in the Lounges, the Cafeteria, or the Ping-Pong Room (and usually die there, too). Here's your chance. If it's worth telling, why we'll be waiting. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is you.

The recently coneluded buropean war with its accompanying Na:z<i air blitz against tlritain conclusively has demonstrated England's insecurity. Then, too, ,t he presence ot Nazi armies in the Channel ports for over four years has blasted for all time Britain's fancied security in which she trusted until Munich. Security for Br~tain in the post-war world depends in her view above all upon collective action with other peoples in the upbuilding of the new United Nat,i ons organization. Since, however, collective action to stop aggression as envisioned in the new security arrangements may prove, in an hour ot crisis, to be only a broken reed, Britain is determined to have other security dev,ices. These are, in the order ot their importance, maintenance a"t the Anglo-Soviet-American wartime alliance, the erection of a western European bloc, and tight: er commonwealth unity. !'or, like Russia which has also facea •t he hell of two world wars in the twentieth century and has known the full meaning of furor T eutonicus, England is convinced that security rests upon a many faceted foreign policy. In short, she wants more than one string for her diplomatic bow. . Dumbarton Oaks and its successor, the United Nations or• ganization, has received and still receives Britain's support because they concentrate power in the hands of the Great Powers which alone can keep the peace. To the protests of small nations which are critical of such concentration as detrimental to their continued sovereignty and importance, Br( tain replies that only by the creation of unity in the ranks of the Great .Powers can the security of small nations be achieved, which is for them as for the world at large, a paramount interest. Since the central problem of Europe now as in ,t he past is the prevention of another German military renaissance and its inevitable concomitant, the third World War, Britain has as. her second string for her diolo.m atic Contine11,t by any one poweryet it rests upon the belief that Germany, despite her catastrophic and overwhelming defeat, is now even dreaming ot another strike for world dominion. This can .b_e best for~stalled and prevented by ·t he use of Russian equipment, man power and prestige in the East. Britain believes that Russia's need and desire for security complements her own and that the linking of Soviet power in the East with that ot .tlritain in the West will best thwart Germany's ambitions. The visible sign of this belief is the twenty-year Anglo-Soviet alliance which was signed in 1942. In the light of ,t hese long-run considerations the recent failure of the Big Three to gain unity in London can be seen in its true perspective. To mount guard on Germany on the west and thereby play the counterpart of Russia in. the East, Britain believes it to be essential to create a western European bloc consis•t ing o.f herself, France, Belgium, Holland, and Luxemberg. The economic, politicall, and, above all, military renaissance ot these countries automatically en• hances Britain's security, for these nations command the approaches to •t he British Isles and, in consequence, lie along the pathway of German invasion. Britain expects and desires as minimum elements in the proposed bloc agreements on the part of the Continental members of the bloc that she will be granted air bases within their borders and that Belgium shall be a British commonweal-th in fact if not in name. The proposals set forth in London envisage a Belgium firmly tied into Britain's financial system and program of military defense. The Belgians are apparently ready to accept this role, because they are confron-ted with difficulties which they know they are helpless to solve unaided. Since France, under the leadership of de Gaule, also aspires to the leadership of a western bloc, the future of Anglo-French relations may be somewhat cloudy. Lastly, Britain believes that her security can be materially safe, , .

On November 22nd, the entire United States celebrated Thanksgiving. Turkey, cranberry' sauce, pumpkin pie, and all the other traditions were again carried out. But, the greatest tradition, the one on which this country was founded, 'was it carried out? No. And why? Because Thanksgiving was too close to Christmas. Consequently, it was made a week earlier. Is there any common sense in such an argument, if it can be called one? The colonists who survived that first hard winter were real Americans and we honor them for it. Therefore, since our land advocates free speech, worship, and press, the very thing these people fought ~nd died for, why should we change the day of a national holiday, especially one which means as much to us as Thanksgiving? If we believe in the ideals these first Americans set forth, we should celebrate Thanksgiving on the real day-their day.

BOOK REVIEW Right from the first page of Florence Marvym Bauer's "Behold Your King", some nineteen hundred years drop away and the pharisees and sadducees of ancient Palestine become very real people. This story of the last two years of the life of Christ differs from others of its kind in that it shows the attitude of ,t he educated class of Jews towards Jesus. · By being permitted to enter the temple and to be present at S'ome of the old Jewish rites the reader comes to know the nobler aspects of the Jewish peope and to understand their hesitancy to accept one messiah instead of two for which they had long awaited. Although not altogether accurate or truthful, "Behold Your King," gives the reader the often forgotten "other side of the story." started back.

The Luzerne County Christian Endeavor Union comple-ting for ty-six years of service and fellowship, recently h eld its annual convention at the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre. With William Connolly as president, the members attending the four-day program comprising seven denomina,t ions, represented seventy churches. Diffe rent age groups were in Junior, High School, and Young People, and Alumni departments. The county union was organized on September 21, 1899, in the Chris,t ian Church at Plymouth. It's growth has been the product of prayer, spiritual appeal and the zeal of its members. In the belief that Christ must be won fo-r each succeeding generation, a challenging future inspires a continuing and ever greater effort. In 1922 the local united societies were host to the state convention. The officers a,t that time were Miss Gertrude Schwab of Ashley and Miss Flora Ransom of Kingston. Dr. Francis E. Clark, founder of Christian Endeavor, was a speaker at this convention. For •t his information and other data the writer is indebted to Mrs. Hilda Thomas, a former Luzerne County Union president. This local group is one of hundreds of similar units which make up the Interna-tional Christian Endeavor. The challenge heading this article was issued a few days ago by Dr. Daniel Poling, world's Christian Endeavor president. This slogan, put to work, is this group's contribution to defend a world threatened with the chaotic reaction following war. The future activities have already started to bud with the revival of three German societies. Their fi.rst convention was held in. Berlin on October 17, 1945. The motto, "For Christ and the Church," has been the keynote of all efforts, dating back to a humble beginning in 1881. Four principles are stressed in support of the creed: Confession to Christ, Service for Christ, and Fellowship with Christ's people. The "Personal Pledge" which follows is a testimony of each Endeavorer's promise to pray and work "For Christ and the ,.....L . . - -L " .u """=t=. .- - - - - - - - - r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - a=voM T~ C3 ALL~ Page Three i~EACON I!:~ By James Flynn ._ -----" ___ ;;_·-=-~=--~ --~=~-~= ~- ,, It certainly is wonderful to see so many new freshmen attending our College. The large majority of them are good sports, too, which was proved by the goodnatured manner in which they took their initiation at the hands of ,t he upper-classmen. The first chemical laboratory periods found Miss Dorothy Raub, one of- Mr. Steinmann's assistants, busily engaged in soothing the burns of Freshmen Chemists. Miss Raub's comment on the whole affair was, " Boy, a Pre-Med could serve his internship here! " The Hallowe'en Dance proved ,to be an unusually revealing affair. It was there that N . S. (Nova Scotia) exhibited a new technique in the art of dancing. There were two unusual features of her exhibition and both had a practical vaiue in the crowded conditions which existed the evening of the dance. The first feature was the unusually large gap between her and her partner which allowed other couples to promenade through, there-by lessening the tangled feet situation. The second was the "hand in the air" feature which gave the impressi·o n tha-t the couple was picking apples rather than dancing. I'll never forget the surprised look on Dr. Nicholson's face when he pulled down a map of Europe which turned out to be an anatomy chart which had strayed from Dr. Ward's Zoo Lab. - --*·--WHAT THE BIG SISTER PLAN MEANT TO ME About a week before school started, much to my surprise and great delight, I received a very friendly letter from some one I did not know.

M . �Mr. Disque, professor of English Composition and German, addressed the faculty and students of Bucknell at the first assembly of the semester. His address, entitled "Our Obligations to Italy," was given on Monday, October 29, in the Presbyterian Church House. Having been connected with Army Intelligence in Italy, Mr. Disque was well qualified to speak on the subject. Mr. Disque stated ,t hat unless we guard our mistakes in Italy and correct them shortly, we may not have that better world we have been thinking about so much. He went on to describe the hardships the Italian people are undergoing because of the crimes of their leaders, and so raised the question, "Do not the victors have an obligation to see this through?" "There is a lack of realization that we are par,t of the world," Mr. Disque continued. "It is just as important now to co-operate during peace as we did during the war. To govern a foreign people, you must know them." "We hesitated too long to channel their thoughts and aims. We do not realize that after the American soldiers leave, the Fascist trained people are going to stir up all sorts of trouble. "They respect discipline. What we achieved by gifts of candy and cigarettes, the British achieved by formal discipline . The more informal we became, the more promises we made; the less respect we received . But more pathetic still, is the problem of youth. Bands of young hoodlums roam the country. When schools were finally started, the teaching staffs were not adequate. Books were censored by the crossing out of pages. This only aroused the curiosity of the students much more. "Youth must have its ideals.

" Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever He would have me do. I will make it the rule of my life to pray and read the Bible, to support the work and worship of my church, and to ,cake my part in the meetings and other activities of the society. " I will seek to bring others to Christ, to give as I can for the spread of the Kingdom, to advance my country's wdfare, and promote the Christian brotherhood of man. These things I will do unless hindered by conscientious reasons; and in them all I will se-e k the Saviour's guidance." -Elmer Davis. ____*____ The faculty and students are very sorry to hear that Mr. Faint is a patient at the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital.

Following Mr. Disque's interesting resume concerning "Our obligation to Italy," Reverend Jule Ayers, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, spoke to the students 'of the vast need and uses of Welfare Funds. Rev. Ayers stated that: ( 1) The calls on hospitals and Visiting Nurses is very great and therefore the needs for adequate nursing is great since there are many chronic illnesses. (2) Because of the war, the birth rate has climbed rapidly. Thus health facilities are severely taxed and nursing care is doubly important. (3) There has been an epidemic of Juvenile Delinquency which must be cuvbed by such organizations as the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.

The picture is very enjoyable, in technicolor, and there is superb acting by Jeanne Crain, Dick Haynes, Dana Andrews (what a man), Vivian Blaine, and two oldtimers, Charles Winninger and Fay Bainter. The songs are delightful, as is their rendition by Blaine and Haymes . Make it a point to see it. Christmas in Connecticut is a light, gay comedy starring Barbara St;mwyck and Dennis Morgan. It's a story about the couple who have to P,retend they're married in order to fool the boss. It's funny, and the acting is skillful. Barbara is supposed to be a writer for a smart, modern magazine. She does a scrumptious monthly article about cookingbut can't cook. The boss, Sidney Greenstreet, invites himself to her home for a Christmas week-end so she has to borrow a husband, a baby, and a cook. The boss brings along D. Morgan, a sailor; Barbara falls for him-well, you know the rest. WecR wt-~ispers · By Nelda Brouhstein Once again ,t he pitter patter of little (?) feet resound through the rooms of "Week" house. The women who come from three states are getting accustomed to dinner bells, quiet Ii.ours, and the making of beds. Everyone is on her best behavior. Of course, we don't think about the time that someone threw my shoes out the window or the time when the bed broke when everyone was bouncing on it. There is one thing that each inhabitant must do and that is proctor. Her duties are to sit downstairs and answer doorbells and the phone, but her most important job is to hold the door open at one minute to twelve on Saturday night so that the rest of us won't be campused. At precisely 7:29 every morning all the alarm clocks go off, for we must be at breakfast at 7:30. · ls it no wonder that the dorm students look so tired? (Tbey have to arise so early). We have a few Bach's, Beethovan's, and Sinatra's -in the house, and between 5 :30 and 6 o'clock you can stand outside I and hear a free concert. Right now, as I write this, two gals are playing a very complicated arrangement of chopsticks. As for •t able manners, the girls are becoming connoisseurs. The only difficulty I find is that I spent three-fourths of my time passing dishes to my neighbors. On Saturday morning most of us do our washing and it's a free for all when there are more than one of us in the cellar a-t 2 time. It may seem confusing but I know that not any of us would trade it for anything else in the world. There's nothing like living with a group -o f girls. What does it matter if your hair turns grey thirty years ahead of time? Stu.dent Council Plans Activities Back to Bataan sounds exactly like the kind of picture it is, an actionful war film . The story tells of the fall of Bataan and Corregidor; the or- 1 ganization and successful operation of guerrilla warfare; a~d the return of the Yanks to the island. John Wayne is an American colonel detailed to lead the natives taking to the jungle when it is obvious the Japs have ~on the first round . Anthony Qumn, as a Filipino leader, is unbelievably good, as is Fely Franquelli, who plays Quinn's sweetheart. A Thousand and One Nights It's the story of a vagabond who goes after a princess. By way of a magic lamp and a Genie, miracles are accomplished to the tune of much merriment and suspense.

Speaking of ceremonies, the "prayer for rain" was certainly "all wet." The only ones who felt the tiniest drops of water were the "raingods" who were thoroughly drenched; a fitting end for their bungling, I might add. Even the l-ibrary was no safe haven for the poor frosh after O 'Connell, Rauscher, and Litchman decided to walk from one room to another, one at a ,t ime, and keep them standing constantly. Ah, yea: there is the incident where a certain freshman young lady said ,t hat Mr. Steinmann was cute. Noticed George Jones looking glum at the sa·m e "cei-emony." (Seriously, he did a swell job playing the piano at Assembly and Choral Oub) . R~member how, by some freak chance the "ring-dance" at the Hallowe'en Party was disintegrated when the line began to go out windows and up stairs? Must have been the effects of that cider. Joe Renzi should have been an interior decorator according to the skill he used in hanging decorations nonchalontly on -the backs of unsuspecting dancers. By the way, did any of you notice Ralph Beane slide in on his bike just before registration on the first day of school after his trip to New England? Congratulations! Abra Cadabra, Reese Pelton. By Jack P. Karnofsky As this is our first contribution for the present term we think it is as good a ~ime as any to announce a change in policy. As many of you will remember, this column has formed y been made up of gossip, intermixed with a bit of humor, every now and then, ,t he main purpose being to bring you a smile or two at a time when we know that it was a smile -that was most needed. But now that we have all ,that mess behind us, and in view of our huge expansion program here at B. U. J . C. we want to do something constructive, something that will be of value now as we;ll as later on. And so, w~th your kind permission, we will attempt to inaugurate a brand new course, which we shall call, for lack of a better name, Punoligy, or how to make a pun. Then you too can be the life of the party, you too can make -them laugh, without sitting down at the piano. But now to get down ,t o business. We all know that a pun is a play on words, depending to a great extent on the use of homonyms, that is, words of the same sound but different meanings. Just for example, we will take an every-day item such as bread. Let us show you how to get many sharp puns from it, and we don't mean puns and coffee, we had our roll in bed before we got up this morning. Yes, yes, we know that was a crummy remark and we have a lot of crust or else we must be half-baked . By the way, kids! Did you ever wish you could be a baker and have all the dough you want? Well, you must remember that ,t he baker needs all the dough he makes. See how easy it is? Humor has nothing to do with being well-bred. As we come to the close of our first lesson in Punoligy, may we leave you with ,t his bit of food for thought. Why do we worry over such a little thing as which side our bread is buttered on, when we all, as a mat-ter of fact, eat both sides anyhow. ----*·---ORIENTATION PROGRMA (Continued from Page 1) On Tuesday the freshmen were given a talk on " H ·o w to Study" by Dr. Nicholson.

He was then put on a railroad job, and German engineers were put to work making a railroad through Linz. It was here that he talked to an Austrian who had studied philosophy at Heidelburg and said the German people did not consider themselves beaten after the war. Liberated prisoners of war would steal from the Germans and we let them because we could not feed them. The Russians had black lists of Germans and would go out and kill them and Joe would have to put the bodies away, which he didn' t enjoy particularly. Mr. J oneikis summed up his speech by saying we should unify Germany and begin m the schools, to make the children change fr,o m Nazi ideas . Dr. Farley asked, "How can we establish decent relations with France?" Mr. Connelly answered that France is not united, and we can' t make friends with both sides. Dr. Farley asked, "Is it easier to get along with allies or enemies?" Mr. Joneikis answered that it is more difficult to have good relations with our allies because we can only suggest things to them, whereas we can order our enemies. Dr. Farley then said that these comm·ent have not brought us to a definite conclusion and hoped that we might have questions in our minds as a result to wihch we would constantly seek the answers. ----*'- --- SPEAKS TO PRE-MED ( Continued from page 1) recoveries were made and the patients found the world a happier one.

CHASE THEATRE The curtain rose Friday, December 14, on the Thespian production of George Batson's Ramshackle Inn. It was greeted enthusiastically by the audience, and at 10 o'clock the curtain fell amidst a burst of applause and hearty chuckles. The Saturday night performance was a repetition of the first night. Ramshackle Inn is a mystery farce in three parts. The setting of the play is Ye Olde Colonial Inn, not far from Gloucester, Mass. Chilling and eerie atmosphere is added by the pattering rain, crashing thunder, and flickering lights. The dilapidated hotel is sinister and suggestive of the evil business afoot. The play begins with the arrival of Miss Belinda Pryde (Priscilla Sweeney), ex-librarian of East Ipsiwich, accompanied by her suitor-who-never-asked-thequestion, Commodore Lucius Towser (Paul Rundle). Miss Pryde had noticed Mame's (Betty Jane Davis) advertisement in a magazine and had invested her hard-earned savings in Ye Olde Colonial Inn. Needless to say, she was disillusioned at her first sight of the hotel, but soon brightened at the prospect of customers whom she would meet and who would supply funds for the repairs so badly needed . The raging storm has forced _many __people off the road and 1nt-~ l\Jficc p,....,,..1,,.' c:o ity. His sweetheart (Evelyn Penaligon) urges him to marry her that night for she fears the wrath of her uncle (hdward Tonkin) . Unknown to Mame, her hotel has been the center of a liquor racket, the still being operatt::u in her cellar by Patton l \..layton Karambelas), made almost unrecognizable by a hideous scar on his cheek. Mr. Temple, Mary's uncle and the h1gn1y esteemed city banker, is a1so a member of the ring. Bill's suciden return and avowed revenge frightens him. He is mysteriously murdered when the liglus fiicker off for a moment and taHs to the floor with a heavy thuct. Despite the valiant attempts of Constable Small (tlob Wemz1 and Detective Gilhooley (Jimmy Graham), the crime resists ah solution. The confusing gab by Belinda and the close-moutheu Joyce only serve to entangle the mystery. Constable Small leaves the hotel in disgust, leaving the bewildered Gilhooley in charge The action of the play has all the elements of the real spinechiller with disappearing bodies, blood-curdling screams, and more murder. But the perfect naivete and delightful antics of Belinda serve to keep the play light. There is an amusing mix-up when Belinda finds the wallet ot the well-known woman detective, -Mathilde Janeway.

Sports have always been his main interests with swimming, boxing and basketbail topping his "list of favorites." Some of Mr. Campbell's sports activities consisted of swimming for the Wyoming Valley Swimming Association and for the Y. M. C. A., and boxing for Bucknell (in which sport, incidentally, he was the 160-lb. champ). In 1940, Mr. Campbell joined the Air Forces. After having served for five years, four and a half of which were spent in Puerto Rico, French Guinea, Dutch Guinea, and British Guinea, he was discharged in July, 1945, on the point system. And it's wonderful to be called "Mr." again, he tells us. Welcome to the faculty of Bucknell, Mr. Campbell! ----*·---- DORM'S MASCOT DIES Have you noticed the sad faces around Weckesser Hall lately? A link is missing. Butch, the dorm's mascot, was injured by a hit and run driver on the ,morning of November 20. This beloved cat died a few hours later from a broken neck. Butch's proud own- · ers were Mr. and Mrs. Jervis. Although Butch was not yet a year old, he had many close calls with death. First he was burned with a hot coal from the furnace, a few weeks later a pan of red hot grease spilled on him. This summer Butch was so sick that it was expected that he wouid die. Nevertheless, through thick and thin Butch survived, but now he is only a fond memory. We don't expect to have an animal around the dorm for a while. If you happen to take a look through the dorm rooms though, you can't fail to · see the stuffed animals loitering on the beds. Left to right: Bob Wen-tz, Shirley Stookey, Paul Rundle, Jimmy _Catnes, Edward Tonkin, Nelson Nelson, Reese Pelton, Priscilla Sweeney, Frank Anderson, Clayton Karambelas, Beverly Broadt, Jimmy Graham, Rhuea Williams, Evelyn .Penaligon, and Betty Jane Davis. CHEERLEADERS The Bucknell Student Council elected four new cheerleaders from a group of twenty competing women. The tryouts were in charge of Alberta Novick. The six women who are backing the 1945-1946 basketball team with their cheers are: Alberta Novick, captain; Louise Bren_n an, 'Betty Davi-s, Beverly Broadt, Jane Kerper, Rose Kaftan. These women have chosen white pleated skirts and navy blue cardigans as their outfits. Copies of the cheers were given to the students at the first game, so that the students would be able to assist the cheerleaders. Bucknell has one of the best teams in its history, so come on out, help the cheerleaders, and back the team by cheering. ----*·---- OPEN HOUSE Yuletide Open House was held by the Alumni Association from 8 ·to 11 ·at Chase Hall. Leon Wazeter, Jr., was chairman and Mrs. Robert Berman co-chairman. Refreshment committee was headed by Mrs. Louis N. Schappert, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. E. Russell Brown, Pete Scras, Gertrude Jones, and Sallyanne Frank. The Hospitality Committee was headed by Marian Thomas, assisted by Katherine Freund, Elizabeth Womelsdorf, and Olive Thomas. Publicity was handled by Marguerite Krashcevich. ---*--- WECKESSER ENTERTAINS Miss Sangiuliano and the women of W eckesser Hall entertained members of the faculty at a buffet supper on Sunday, December 16, 1945.

The first broadcast is expected to take place in the near future.

R eif -~ BASKETBALL Basketball season has rolled around once more and the next few months will decide our fate. But do you know where and how this sport originated? We thought you would like to know. Here goes. Basketball was invented in 1892 by Dr. James Naismith while a student at Springfield College. For a long time he worked and tried to find a game which would be an interesting and beneficial indoor sportone which would fill in the gap left between football and baseball. It was hoped that a game could be found in which players would be able to have a certain amount of cooperation, competition, and personal contacts. The first game was played in a large hall with a soccer ball and peach baskets. Incidentally the name originated from this. A ladder was also part of the equipment as the ball had to be retrieved after it was tossed into a basket. (The baskets were ten feet high). The game steadily grew in popularity. In these first games forty to fifty players were on each team. However, a few years later the number was reduced to nine, and today there are five players on each side. -This game gained national and international prominence almost over night. Although basketball started out with only indoor courts, today we can also find many outdoor courts. Before the game was two years old it had spread to foreign lands. Today it is undoubtedly the most universally played game in the world. It was ~hnrt>rl in tl,p 1Q~5< nhrni-ninc, -::,nrl f-u u ,nhr ,,., ... +~ ,.... ..... ,, n , ,-.- ,.... IS PHILOSOPHY A LUXURY? i Sever-al years ago Admiral . Richard Byrd embarked on a daring expedition. In order to obtain certain meteriological data he constructed a dug-out in the icy wastelands of the Antarctic and there he lived for six months in complete isolation. His scientific findings together with a record of his psychological reactions to · the separation from all other human beings were published in 1938 under the descriptive title, "Alone." It was the type of e xperiment that required not only great scientific curiosity but also an unusual type of courage. Though it may seem far fetched to compare the philosopher with the Arctic explorer, the fact remains •t hat the philosopher undertakes in the realm of the mind what Byrd had done in the field of natural science, The philosopher has always attempted to penetrate to the remote regions of existence . He has dared to raise questions about the nature of reality which others avoid, because they are too difficult or too dangerous . The world of meta physics can be as chi lling to the soul as Arctic winters are to fl esh and blood, yet all the great philosophers have been pioneers who have pressed on into the une x• plored regions of the metaphysi• cal expanse, always hoping to bring back the answer to the fundamental problem: "What is the nature and meaning of Life ?" The story of the philosophical inquiry is a progressive a-ttack upon the unknown. Philosophy shares th is relentless search for truth with the sciences. By its very nature, however, philosophy must go further than the sciences and ask the last question: "Is knowledge possible at all?" How ce n the individual particular mind attain knowledge that has universal validity? What proof can we offer for realities that are not physically demonstra ble? If, on the othe·r hand, we limit r e• ality to only such phenomena as are demonstrable, how can we know that we have not arbitra rily excluded the unknowabl e yet real "thing in itself? " A few lonely Greeks began the search for ultimate reality in the sixth century B. C. and have bequeathed the problem to posterity. The search will never be completed, yet those who have come under its spell can never let go of it. Socrates and Jesus paid for it with their lives, Plato and Aristotle suffered exile in its pursuit, Spinoza accepted the loneli• ness of an excommunicant. Descartes must have faced the abyss of insanity when he decided to doubt the existence o.f everything, even his own body, in order to find some unshakable foundation on which to reconstruct his Universe. He found it in the undeniable fact of his own thought processes. "I think, therefore I am. " Is philosophy a luxury? Wil. liam James in the lectures on Pragmatism quote s G. K. Chesterton to the effect that "the most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the Universe. We think for the landlady considering a lodger it is important to know his income, but still more important to know his philosophy." Philosophy disappoints the doctrinaire who expects a readymade answer foi: every problem; it must seem absurd to the Philistine who has a serene confidence in "just plain common sense." It will always attract the student who admires the great minds of the past in their search for a city that "is built to music, therefore never built at all, and therefore built forever."

This is a house affair in which all the dormitory women participate. The house was resplendent with holiday decorations. The Christmas tree was decorated and wreaths of holly were hung-not forgetting to mention mistletoe. After a delicious turkey dinner, an evening of gift exchanging and caroling followed. The group sorely missed the presence of Miss Sangiuliano and Miss Kit Stringham, who were unable to attend because of illness. Chairmen of the committees for the affair included: Decorations, Jean Lampert; entertainment, Ginnie Maginniss; favors and centerpiece, Marian Reid. ---*·- -- THE YOUTH FOR CHRIST MOVEMENT It all began on a street corner in New York City. A roving evangelist had given a seemingly stirring speech and an eighteenyear-old boy, who had heard similar speeches before, pushed his way through the crowd when the call was made for those converted to step forward. Jack Wyrtzen, timid and hesitant, gave a brief testimonial in which he said that since he had accepted Christ as his "personal savior" he was a "new creature." Afterwards Jack wondered whether he really had become a different person, but his friends claimed that his street corner experience was a true conversion. It was most unfortunate that Jack Wyrtzen did not turn his newly-acquired inspiration into the right channel. But he came unde r th f":: in:RuP.nr.e: nf ;1 r P rt ::1 1n �.Ao - - THE NEW YEAR 1946.

Those old familiar phrases have been repeated over and over again, but have you really thought deeply into the meaning of the words which flow so freely? Many of us go on and on in the same old paths without thinking of newer and better ways to do things. You say, "Oh, New Year's Day is gone. It's too late to make resolutions. They're silly to make anyway. You'd never catch me making any." Seriously, do you really believe that, or are you just afraid of what your friends might say? Are you afraid that they might jeer and laugh? How do you know that they are right? The very fact that they do laugh is proof that they are wrong. It's never too late to change, especially when its for the better. It's not too late to make a few good resolutions. Remember there's everything to gain and nothing to lose, so how about taking time to think of a few little ways in which you can make yourself more charming to the people about you?

Today 98 per cent of our high schools in America have varsity teams, and approximately eight million persons play the game annually. The fact that this unprecedented development and popularity has all taken place within the short period of just a little more than fifty years attests to the importance of basketball in the physical education of young people.

The story is rather amusing, although it is stretched out to ridiculous lengths and frequently gets lost to make room for song-and-dance specialties. Kaye is a night club entertainer, who is killed by gangsters, because he knows something about their activities. His twin brother ( also acted by Kaye) is a timid little man who goes into action to avenge his brother. The dead man's spirit keeps appearing to urge his brother on. It's fun all the way through, especially as handled by Kaye. Virginia Mayo and Vera-Ellen are lovely. Donald Woods, S. Z. Sakall, and Allen Jenkins are fine. · Our Vines Have Tender Grapes is charming, heart warming, and distinctly worth while. It is a homey, episodical portrayal of life on a farm. The hardness, the problems, the penny-pinching, the eternal fight against nature are all there; but there is also happiness. The scene is a small Wisconsin farming community inhabited by Scandianvians. The principal characters are Edward G. Robinson, his wife, Agnes Moorehead, and their daughter, Margaret O'Brien. The story centers mostly around little Margaret's adventures with Jackie Jenkins, a neighbor boy, and the normal every-day adventures of living on a farm. It's all believable. It's all true. And it's all entrancing. Her Highness and the Bellboy is an interesting light comedy. With Hedy Lamarr, Robert Walker, and June Allyson in the top roles, it .keeps spinning along right merrily, even if it is a bit on the slow s,ide. The story is reminiscent of something from . the past, even though it is not actually old- Deemer&Co.

Fallen Angel is an actionful mystery starring Dana Andrews (love that man!), Alice Faye, and Linda Darnell. It's the story of a man traveling from town to town who finds himself involved in the murder of a girl he loves in a smaJl town in California. The plot thickens and becomes tense as he flees to escape being framed. His companion is the girl he married for her money, which in turn was to be given to the victim. The movie comes to a successful ending as he discovers the identity of the murderer and finds his true love. There's good acting by Faye and Darnell, and superb acting by Dana Andrews.

Percy Crawford, a leader in the dissemination of this school of thought, interested Jack Wyrtzen in doing evangelistic work among young people. Wyrtzen entered this work with fervor, arranging Youth For Christ rallies around the country, but particularly in New York City. In Madison Square Garden on Saturday nights he himself conducted rallies, some of which were four hours in length.

However, to many of the students here at B. U. J . C., the information herein is still news. The Bee-Jays have_ been practicing since November 19, first under the direction of Mr. Vogel;,ur1g and now · under leadership of Mr. James Campbell, the new Physical Educati•o n instructor for the men of the College. Mr. Campbell is an experienced basketball player himself. While in the armed forces, Mr. Campbell played basketball for his service outfit. He should make an excellent coach. The first practice session found twenty-four men trying out for the team. But due to the time element and personal difficulties, ten of them found it necessary to drop out of the line-up. In the remaining fourteen players, however, lies a serious threat to ,my opposition the team may encounter on its schedule. On the average, the team is not composed of tall men, but _what the team lacks in height is fully compensated in speed. Virtually all members of the team have had scholastic experience. Ed Witek played varsity for Newport H. S., and B,ill Johns played outstanding basketball for the 1942 G . A. R. quintet. Swartwood, Zukausky, Lovendusky, Rauscher, Renzi, Moss, Brown, and McNeal have had experience also. Blight, Wentz, Panek, and Sullivan, although inexperienced, show plenty of basketball ability. The probable varsity squad will be composed of the following players: Swartwood and Witek, forwards; Zukausky, center, and Lovendusky and Johns, guards. The team has an interesting schedule prepared for them. The dates of the games have not been completely arranged as yet. The first game, however, was played December 15, with Dickinson Junior College, in the Y . M. C. A. gymnasium in WilkesBarre.

"A Shoe!" Yes, yes! We know that was corny, yet very apropos, as we are to make a Shoe the subject of our second lesson in Punoligy. (Note how many words you can connect with the subject). A pun is said to be the lowest form o·f humor, and to our way of thinking a shoe is pretty low. Perhaps we could have mentioned a broken-down heel, but why bring personalities into a thing like this, for all we know he may turn out to be a go~d sole. Is it true that water on the knee can be cured by wearing pumps, or is someone trying to string us along? If we thought it was the latter case, we would quickly proceed to tan his hide. We have a swell gag about playing music on a shoe horn, but we are unable to use it as this paper does not print footnotes. We had better bring this lesson to a clos·e before somebody decides to give us a darn good lacing. Modem lmprovemenh Plumbing, Heating, Sheet Metal Turner VanScoy Co. * 5 E.

What was the appeal this movement had for youth? First; the title and approach were made purposely spectacular. Mob psychology was employed to draw the crowd and ·to hold their attention.

Main Street The highlights of the discussion on the atomic bomb were compiled by Mr. Ralph Beane and Mr. Edward Wasilewski and broadcast over WBRE on Thursday, November 29th. The effect the atomic bomb had upon the plans of the militarists for a huge military reserve was mentioned. Though Mr. Wasilewski favored peacetime conscription, Mr. Pasteurized Dairy Beane again emphasized the need for world-wide elimination of Produch military preparations. As an *** alternative to an armament race, an international exchange of sciTrucksville, Pa. entific information among the Phone Dallas 35 world's scientists was advocated . That Russia and the United FRAN·K CLA·RK HARTER'S Trucksville Dairy States agree on what to do to check the drift toward another war was firmly urged. These countries, it was believed, could take the initiative in leading the world away from armament and military training. The role of the individual in world affairs was given great stress. The December meeting of the International Relations Club, on the 13th, was profitable despite the conflict with the play rehearsal, which drew many front the meeting. After an introduction to hosteling, Mr. Ralph Beane flashed twenty-six slide pictures on the screen to illustrate an account of his cycling trips. Then he delivered a brief address concerning the international development of hosteling. He s·tated tha•t local and national action must be taken before we realize the plans for a Youth Argosy. A forme-r hosteling official who was present listed the false opinions which are in the public mind regarding hostel;ng. The suggestion was also made that an A YH council be formed in Wilkes-Barre composed largelv of clergymen of different faiths. Father Peter Alisaukas, represent• ing thE; Lions Club of Kingston, was afso among those present. Monr-oe Smith, the national director of the American Youth Hostel Association, addressed a short statement to the Club which read as follows: "The vast family of international youth hostelers that ~xist throughout the world, in spite -o f war and the pain of war, are joined in fellowship and comradship. The purpose of the youth hostels is to help young people love and understand the world. This means loving the people of the world as well as its mountains and rivers and trails." At the conclusion of the meeting it was decided that -a local caµipaign begin with personal contacts from the mayor on down. It was also agreed that sentiment be aroused in behalf of a hosteling program. Those who are interested in advancing the plan for a Youth Argosy, and in promoting the widespread establishment of youth hostels, should write representatives' in Washington urging that a National Youth Argosy Committee, affiliated with the A YH, be formed . The next meeting of the International Relations Club will be the last Thursday in January. A world-traveler will be the speaker. �Page Four THE YOUTH FOR CHRIST (Continued from page 3) members of the quartet who later are called upon to give a minute testimony ot what Ghrist means to them. This, too, is handled in a jocular manner which is_ decidedly improper at such a tlm~. Gradually the informahty 1s dropped as the quartet sing a series of songs. The words of these songs have little discernable meaning, but the music has the effect of stilling the crowd and of creating a solemn atmosphere. When this has been done, the speaker gravely begins his address. After the address and the collection, the plea is issued for young people to come forward and give their lives to Christ. To increas.e the number of "converts" the speaker asks that everyone turn to his neighbor and urge him to go ·t o the altar "to give his life to Ghrist." This procedure has a pronounced effect upon young people . What moved young people to go to the front? Rest assured it was not the message of this subversive Youth For Christ movement. What then, was the message? Gr:at stress was laid on sin. The Bible was preached as the "word of God." Vaguely the speaker emphasized the P?w~r _of blood for cleansing the md1v1dual. Heaven and hell were preached with hair-raising persuasiveness and the second coming of Christ was proclaimed to be an unforeseen, but definitely scheduled event. The underlying theme of the whole movement was stressed time and again: We should not try to build Christ's kingdom here upon earth; we should only pledge ourselves to Christ so rt:hat we may be assured of a safe passage to heaven; therefore, we should remove ourselves from a contaminating world and worry only about out heavenly home. This, of course, is the school of thought which maintains that ,t he world is ever in a dege"nerate ~tate and will continue in such a state until Christ comes to seit everything in order . Therefore, we as observers must draw the conclusion that the Youth For Christ movement does not seek to effect the building of a world in which the principles of the Sermon on the Mount are incorporated. With this in mind we are able to understand why this movement has the supp,ort BUCKNELL BEACON Monday, January 21, 1946 I BEE-JAYS VS. am1ms Ca.pers DICKINSON With Witek and Swartwood leading the offensive, and Johns playing a brilliant defensive game, the Bee-Jays won their first game of the season to the tune of 42-28. Fisher starred for Dickinson Jr. College, tabulating 11 points in all. He was outstanding on the defensive. From the first minute of the game, Bucknell h_eld the upper hand and Dickinson never really threatened. They managed to get within nine points of tne lead late in the third quarter. In the last quarter, however, the BeeJays held fast and won the game by 14 points. The team has shown a lot of spirit, and shows evidence of becoming one of the best aggregations to ever represent our school. While on the subject of praise, let us not forget our coach, Jimmy Campbell, a veteran who served with the army for five years. He really coached a remarkable game. One feature that most people attending the game did not realize was that Zukausky, the center for our team, played the game with two bad knees. Yes, it took a lot of school spirit, and "guts" to do it, and Zukausky proved h e had plenty of both. Lots of luck to the team for a succe_ssful season, and we'll be right behind you, win or lose.

" Yes, but person-ally I believe that this policy--" What's that chatter I hear issuing forth from the reception room ( or any other unoccupied room?) Oh, I might have known that it was none other than BUJCs Tammany Hall politicians: Riley Kotis, and Harkins. These armchair political powers discuss the · merits of everything daily. Discovery ! We have among us three amateur advertisers in the persons of Shirley Stookey, Dorothy Maginniss, and Joan Lott. The next time you pass the Dorm, notice the left window on the back of the second floor. Here you may expect to find a sign saying practically anything. The first one that your's truly noticed said "Flat for Rent." This being hurriedly misread he hurried home for his jalopy for he thought that he had read "Flat Tires Fixed." However, he soon discovered the mistake, much · to his sorrow. The next sign which startled passersby said, "WeHave RubberBoots," and concerning this sign there is a deep mystery. This sign had been profitably decorating the side window of O'Connell's car a few minutes before its appearance in the window of the dorm . This work of art lasted only a few days, however, and now a placard boldly advertises "Furnished Rooms." What next? Well, football season has come and gone, but not without leaving its impression on BUJC. Almost any time of the day one may notice a group of would-be Blanchards developing intricate plays. And speaking of playsthat famous backfield of Spencer, Harkins, and Rapsczinski have worked out a play in which the opposing team can never tell who has the ball. The only fault with this play was that they, themselves, did not know. Finally somebody pointed out that nobody had it; in fact it hadn't been centered. However, the highlight of the se;tson was the builduo s:riven to the B. A .-Eni;?ineer BOOK REVIEW 1945 has slipped by, almost in a twinkling of an eye, it seems . But all the books published in that eventful year still remain on the shelves of the library. Books like "Lion in the Streets", "Black Boy" , and "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." " Lion in the Streets" by Adrian Langley is the story of the "Big Lion", governor of the Magnolia state. Power was what he wanted and power was what he got, but it didn't do him a bit of good because there were those who opposed him. He worked himself up from a common peddler -to governor, and then he was assassinated. But that isn't the story! No, the story itself goes right down to the roots of things . It starts with a common peddler and his wife, a truly great woman, with "white trash" friends, and there it remains. He didn't go beyond them, he only spoke a little louder, and even though his voice was heard by many, he didn't change except, perhaps, to grow a bit more greedy ( for power) . An interesting book is "Lion in the Streets" because it is so typically human. He wasn't very old before he realized that white people didn't like him very much, that black boy, Richard Wright, because he actually went through such terrorizing experiences as we read about in the papers. One night he and his family stealthily were forced to leave his uncle's to avoid a lynching; another time two white men deliberately started a quarrel between another negro and him for the very pleasure of seeing them fight one another. Therefore, Richard Wright, above all, is the man -to tell of these things. In his book, "Black Boy," he tells the truth about conditions in the South, and although the story is not nice, it is interesting, and should be read by all that others may know what their countrymen have to suffer. "Why won't this gas stove work?" she wondered. And then she heard it. At first she couldn't believe her ears, but there it was again. "Because I won't let it." That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship between Mrs. Muir, a lonely widow with two children who up to that time had no backbone, and the Ghost • 1 1 �we are able to uncierstana wny this movement · has the support that it enjoys and prospers under. Let us consider from what sources that support stems. Gerald K. Smith, ,t he notorious isolationist and bigoted individual, is certainly a nationally prominent figure who, even despite the death of Hitler, seeks to keep alive the seeds of Hitlerism. We have an example of his narrow-sightedness in the fact that to solve the negro "problem" in the Un.ited States he advocated that this country in conjunction with Great Britain send to Africa all the negro people now residing under the Stars and Stripes. We also know that he was an intense fighter against all at,t empts to bind the nations of the world together through a policy of internationalism. Surely international cooperation is necessary in the building of a Christian world order, but the last thing Gerald K. Smith wants to see upon earth is a Chri&tian world order. That is why he has joined the Patterson and Hearst Press to support the Youth For Christ movement. The Youth For Christ movement is fading away. Its message may have been stimulating three centuries ago, but the world no longer is where it was three hundred years ago. The world is one. The leaders of the Youth for Christ movement overlook a great many passages in the B,i ble. If they will examine the Good Book more closely, they will discover that "Goel so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son." The Supreme Being expects us to fashion a world after his Son's teachings. The Youth For Christ movement is decaying because its message is one which masses of young people are refusing to accept. Repudiating the appeal "to give yourself to Christ before the atomic bomb kills you," youth are thinking seriously about plans for a peaceful world order. They seek to rebuild a devastated world and will not listen to those voices of defeat who shout: "Forge.t the world «nd its pr,o blems." A Christian follows the God-given command to rebuild. -Ralph Beane. Girls! Stop at on your way to town. 27 S. Franklin Street ................... __ .... , .., Hall, C Johns, g .

Mary Martin and Howard Dinstel were experimenting on the theory of what goes up must come down. It was only an "easy" experiment on butyl br-omide (the sulphuric acid method). Equipment was set up and the class had nothing to do but wait two hours fo-r the prepared mixture to fuse . Quiet-but not for long! The next minute everything was in smoke. Nothing could be seen but 'Marti" and "Howie" rushing for water accompanied by the sof.t, and spurting sulphuric acid. In the distance there was a muffled scream. Kay Vanderlick spilled sulphuric acid on her arm (my how ,t his acid d-oes get around.) Joe J oneikis came to the rescue with a tube of salve in his hand. In the meantime Mr. Steinmann came rushing into the lab. Within two seconds the Chem Lab looked like an early morning at Macy's Bargain Basement. About this time Mr. Steinmann gave out with his speech on the values of goggles in the Chem Lab. It seems that we heard that speech last year. Wonder if "Hank" has relations in the business. While "Marti" and "Howie" rushed for the sodium bisulfate bottle to remove the sulphuric ac,i d from their eyes, the sink became clogged. Joe J oneikis was busy fixing the sink when Mr. Steinmann called and said there was a flood in the cellar. Getting complica·ted, isn't it?

Alberta Novick is not exactly subtle or secretive about her love life-or should I call it "lives?" Eeney, meeny, miny, mo-there's Rundel, Sturdevant and Blight to choose from. Gl,oria Paczkowski looks at Bucknell lads as though thev had the plague . Guess it's her steady "Frank" that makes her that-a-way. "Little Frank" Anderson is in a bad way-mentally and physically. Seems that he has a sinus condition and can't be with B. B. , (alias Bev Broadt). Meanwhile Karambelas makes hay while the sun shines. Eleanor Bednar makes 1 Rooney's her luni;h time hangout with a certain Bucknell freshman-but don't tell her steady. Of course she wouldn't dream of dating anybody else. Both ends against the middle, huh? Mindell Small is carrying a torch as big as the Statue of Liberty's, and .you'd never guess for whom. Joe Callahan is having "rebound" troubles-the moral of his story is "don't fall for a girl who's headed for the Lewisburg campus . Reese Pelton is acquiring a new lass-the name is Evelyn Penaligon. Madeline Molitoris lives for the week ends because it is then that a certain someone gets home. But we hear Art Smulowitz tried to change her mind. 'Pinky" Wilkes is all upset because some gent told her that her legs were too thin. Tut, Tut! Dicky Widemann is the out-door type. He says that he and his girl friend think nothing of a short walk to Scranton! It's practically impossible for the fellows to talk with Shirley Mason, via Bell's invention, cause her Bob is home for keeps. And then there's Melvin Light, Bucknell's Fred Astaire, yes-he has a dancing partner, too. It's none other than Claire Capobianco. ----*---- Buy Victory Bonds! By James Flynn The great B. A .

Christmas shopping can be an excellent conditioner for athletes , especially if the shopping is done in the last minute variety. Practice in the arts of dodging, weaving. and the like can be had in any of the down-town business establishments ( one or two days before Christmas). Just last year I became part of a seething mob of shoppers and I was compelled to fight my way in and out of stores. I had, literally speaking, to "follow the crowd." Any man who considers women as the frail sex is a fool. He has but to observe women giving and taking the punishment afforded by Christmas shopping and he would soon change his mind.

Then there was the fake revolution staged in Sociology Class to see what the reaction of the class was to mob oratory. The class, not knowing they were supposed to work themselves up, kept too calm. Now they want two children who up to that time had no backbone, and the Ghost who thought she only needed to know herself better. And she did. For laughter and relaxation, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" by Mrs. Leslie is just the book. It's so perfectly ridiculous and yet so thought provoking. There aren't any ghosts, you know, or are there?

About fifty minutes later the equipment was again in perfect _ running order ( of course, you understand, these are seven-hour experiments). There was only one serious person in the lab, Bruno· Bu jno, who was earnestly leaning over his desk with the expression of a discoverer on his face. On further examination it was found that Bruno was looking at a Bunsen Burner. All of a sudden the Bunsen Burner was at the other end of the room, and a huge flame was coming out of the rubber tubing. Now Bruno and the class have a -vague idea of how jet propulsion works. By that time it was five o'clock and the class was over. Glass and sulphuric acid covered the lab and Joe J oneikis reported that he used two tubes of burn salve. to produce another one.

The ceremony was witnessed by State officials, the University's trustees, and representatives of B u ck n e 11' s 11,000 alumni throughout the nation. Bucknell ,originally known as theh Univer sity at Lewisburg, came into legal existence when Governor Francis R. Shunk signed the charter previously approved by the State Legislature. The students marked the event with a giant birthday party in the school gymnasium. ----*·- --- HONOR LIST ANNOUN CED 1 Eighteen B. U. J. C. students have made the Honor List for scholastic standing attained during the first semester of 19451946: Helen L. Bitler, '47, A. B. lohn ~-!3oy_c e,J:·• ~~'- ~ & F. CABARET PARTY One of the most pleasant social events of the past semester was the Cabaret Party on Friday, January 25, at the rirst Presbyterian Church House. The group was welcomed by the Reverend Jule Ayers, pastor of the church, who gave a brief address. J-fighllights of entertai,nment on -t he program included dancing to the melodious strains of music supplied by Reese Pelton and his Eight W ~:mder Men (wonder where he got 'em), plus other name bands represented by records. Persis Hicks sang three selections, one of which was her own "Brooklyn Blues." The veterans' viewpoint was expressed in a humorous skit by Robert ~pencer and Cyprian Rapczynski. Other talent included that famous quartet consisting of Donald Boguszewski, Joe Lichtman, Jay Rauscher, and Keese Pelton. Helen Louise Bitler and Jean Withey sang solos. Other members of outstanding merit were Nancy Coffay's and Joe Lichtman's reproduction of their summer pertormance, and Donald Boguszewski's piano solo ( or was it the tramp costume which made the performance so amusing?). A command performance was given by Angelo Licata, who sang "Suzie," hPr~11c.,P hp, rl1rfn'f- l,,,nn,u, thP If plans which are under way are carried to a successful conclusion, B. U. J. C. will have its first year book at the end of this semester. While it may seem a little late to start such an ambitious ve-n ture, the prevalent feeling is "Better late than never." The idea for a year book did not originate with any one individual, nor is the idea a new one. But this is the first year in the history of the Junior College when there has been present all the factors favorable to a good year book. A large number of people have expressed. interest. The first committee meetings have been well attended, with many excellent and unusual ideas being brought forth. The printers and engravers are able 'to take new customers. Almost every student has said he will want a year book. The only obstacle now to be removed is the actual compiling of the year book! The following committees have been appointed and have already started work: Editorial staff, business staff, anid photographic staff. Al Dervinis has been appointed managing editor of the year book. At a meeting of ·t he editorial staff on Saturday, March 9, at I P. M., Gloria Farkas was elected editor of the year hook and J am,es Flynn~ . a,ssistant editor. ,v,. , f. • TWO NEW PROPERTIES FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE Dr. Farley announces that the college has just received two new buildings, one on South River Street and one on South Franklin Street. T he South River Street property is the Bruce Payne residence adjoining ithe Bucknell V eterans' Guidance Center.

For a student to be placed on the Honor List, he must have ~chieved an average of eightyfive per cent or higher during the preceding semester. Students who have incomplete grades are ineligible for the list. ----*---- CHORAL CLUB The Choral Oub is preparing for another radio program. All of the music for the program has not been selected. At this time, however, the group is rehearsing two compositions: "Cantante Domino" by J. Leo Hassler and "I Go Before My Charmer" by Thomas Morley. Leo Hassler and Thomas Morley are two of the greatest composers of the Renaisance. ----*·---- WECKESSER HALL ENTERTAINS A buffet supper was held Sunday, January 20, at Weckesser Hall.

Louis Prima is featured on two of Majestic's late~t releases. "You Won't Be Satisfied" is a good recording, while "Just a Little Fond Affection" is done more like a swing tune than ballad.

In that part of the museum, which concerned the chemical industry, there is a miniature petroleum refining plant which dearly portrayed the refining of petroleum from the oil well product to the many finished products after distillation .- James P. Flynn. Speaking for myself, I thought tha~ our trip to Philadelphia was most interesting. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. On Saturday I spent most of my time in Franklin Institute and couldn't see everything even though I was there the night before. The Planetarium seemed to have proved the most interesting thing to me.Bruno Bujno. After a half hour Saturday morning trying to find our way to the gross anatomy lab at the University of Pennsylvania, and a very limited breakfast, I can't help saying Dr. Clark's lecture on the anatomy of the human body was breathtaking. Seriously, I thought this lecture the most interesting part of our visit.-Caryl L. Galow. The Pre-Medical Club of Bucknell University Juni9r College, under the guidance of Dr. Lenore Ward, conducted a trip to Philadelphia recently. The groups visited the Fels Planetarium of the Franklin Institute, heard a lecture on the constellations of the universe and viewed planets, moon, Mars arid Saturn, through the Planetarium telescopes. Main purpose of the trip was a visit to the anatomical laboratory of University o-f Pennsylvania's Medical School. At the laboratory, a demonstration of the gross anatomy of the human body was performed by Dr. Clark of the faculty. The following students attended: Daniel Williams, Dolores Gale, Irene Wienchowski, Mr. and Mrs. John Hayes, Dolores Shiner, Gloria G . Shiner, Frances Wentzel, Grace Alpaugh, Dolores Seitchek, Dolores Vinesky, Marian Reid, Caryl Galow, Bruno Bujno, James P. Flynn, Preston J.

Following the speech Mrs. Long was asked questions by those attending the meeting while refreshments were served. At the last meeting of the International Relations Club which was held on Thursday, February 28, sound motion pictures on France were shown.

The picture gets much of its strength through intelligent use of the "chase" routine. Powell is a Canadian flier who is determined to hunt down and punish the French collaborationist responsible for the death of his (Powell's) bride. The chase takes him to the Argentine, by way of several European stopoffs, leads him into a nest of Nazis who intend to hibernate and wait for a new day, and, eventually, to a thoroughly surprising "pay-off." It's thrilling stuff and grand entertainment. ·Within the next few days elections will be held to select officers for the Freshman group which has just enrolled. It is hoped that persons of responsibility will be chosen by students who will carefully form their own opinion as to the merits of the candidates. For a college student to be influenced by the opinions of others certainly gives evidence of a childish unwillingness to accept responsibility, or a lack of interest in the affairs of his class group. Freshmen, your class and the accomplishments of your class are going to contribute to this institution in some degree. A well-organized, harmonious class group can achieve results and can add to the tradition of scholarship and good fellowship that is The Bells of St. Mary's found here in the Junior College.

It's a wonderful job, helped by the magnificent acting of Ingrid Bergman. It seems that Gregory Peck, suffering from amnesia, thinks he has murdered somebody but doesn't remember whom he killed, or where, or when. Ingrid is a psychiatrist. She is in love with him and doesn't think he is guilty. She tries to solve the mystery by risking her career and almost her life. The solution is arrived at by analyzing Gregory's dreams. It is sufficient to say there are chiHs aplenty. There are some startling sets by Salvador Dali which are really fine, and the acting is "tops" all the way through.

THE KING'S GENERAL Daphne du Maurier The setting of The King's General is the beautiful Devon coast in the time of Charles I. Honor Harris decides to marry Sir Richard Granville, but an accident prevents the wedding. Later, he again asks her to marry him and she refuses. However, separation and disaster could not break the strong love between Honor and Richard. Richard is a fearless, daring, and loyal general who was able to win battles and campaigns but also he was a man who brought no peace to those who loved him. Honor looked forward to later life with peace and quiet; Richard was dauntless and carried on the adventures of his youth. Honor risked everything for him-her reputation and the esteem of her family as well as her personal comfort and security. The house was pillaged and sacked in the search for the hidden chamber, but she was loyal to King Charles a·nd did not betray her trust. The plot of The King's General is partly based on fact gathered from old records as well as fiction. It is a story of brave and violent deeds, one of trusts and loyalties that could not be betrayed. iii'-f& ff'E"::F') .£,·· - W &m..:iZZ We will PRINT ANY AMATEUR POETRY Who's Who If you see musical instruments around, ten to one Reese Pelton is also in the vicinity.

Reese spends his spare time ( a B. A. with spare time?) arranging music. He plans to become an advertising manager or a journalist.

With his personality and charm, he's bound to succeed. One of the college's charming co-eds is Shirley Mason. She comes from · South River Street ( right in B. U. J. C's back yard). Shirley tells us she's fond of popular music, especially when played by Harry James. ~o~ Page Three YOUTH HOSTELING A you,t h hostel is a building which is the destination of hostelers after a day of hiking and cycling-"going on one's own steam." Here houseparents open welcoming door,s. Passes are checked and hostelers prepare the evening meal. Attached to many youth hotels is a recreation room which affords an opportunity for square dancing. Most of the recreation rooms have fireplaces around which the hostelers gather to swap snapshots and souvenirs, to tell of the day's journey, to sing, and above aJ.l, to better understand each other. Eleven years ago this program was introduced to America by a young married couple, Isabel and Monroe Smith. Its grow.th has been slow, but ,the enthU1Siasm which accompanied its entrance into •t he New England region, the Great Lakes area, the MidAtlantic states and the Pacific coast states assures its eventual permanent estabilishment. The goal set by th e national headquar.ters at Northfield, Massachusetts, is 5,000 youth hostels. Th,e present number is about 250. Tihe goal is also 10,000,000 pass-holders. The prese1lit number is about 116,000. Onward, A. Y. H.! -Ralph Beane. 1 ---~*---- l to:'ie n to be tall, blonde, and possessing a keen sense of humor to get in Shirley's good graces.

WE WELCOME ALL CRITICISM AND Don't Forget the SCHOOL OUTING This Saturday IREM TEMPLE COUNTRY CLUB The Sporting Record By James P. Flynn It certainly is great to watcn the "Bee-Jays" play ball tn,~ season. Their schedule is completed and the 1:eam has compiled an excellent record. It was during the York game that the present joke among m._ 'varsity players began. Jim Campbell became so excited during the game that he got tht names of -the varsity players a little twisted. The "Bee-Jay· varsity now consits of Joss and Mohns, guards; and Swartek and W eetwood, forwards. Bill Zukausky escaped the namechanging somehow. Probably Jim couldn't do any better than ~e present collittaotion of Zukausky' s name, "Zuk." The second -team looks promising. In the Keystone game, for instance, the scrubs did very well. The biggest surprise of that game was Dominic Y anchunas. Dom, after putting his jersey on backwards several times, leaped into the game and scored three points. We understand there is quite a bit of talk among the players about Stanley Hall's "ballet" shot. Doug MacNeil and Bob Wentz are of the opinion that Stan is receiving private instruction from Miss Sangiuliano. The "Bee-Jays" lost their varsity forward when Ed Witek was called into the Navy. The team and everyone who knew Ed will miss him. It's too bad he couldn't remain here until the basketball season were over. Doug MacNeil has also left our college. He intends to return for the summer session. Our six cheerleaders are as good as the team, as anyone can plainly see. See, that is. They went through a clever new cheer at the Keystone game which ended like this: B--U-C-KN-E-L-L! That's the way you spell it; here's the way you yell it!

The play is a contemporary classic and one of the first psychological tragedies to be written. To fully widerstand the depth and scope of ,t his production, one m~t know something of it's author. Strindberg is Sweden's mos,t eminent playwright. He was born in 1849, several months after his parents were married. Growing up under these conditions produced in Strindberg a deep sensitivity and suspicion. In " The Father'' we find the leading character's origin very similar to the author's birth and childhood. At ~he age of eighteen Strindberg entered the Universtiy o f Upsala, only to freeze and go hungry in a garret. He was forced to quit and begin teaching in the same school where h e had suffered as a child. As an escape he turned to writing poems, short stories and plays. ln 1866 he wrote a short story en,titled, " Marriage." This outraged ithe respectibility of the people and resulted in ,t he confiscation of the book. From then on Strindberg's writings were ul,t ra-realistic, psychological, and anti-feminist. He had been married and divorced. BEA - the Endowment Campaign Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Vol. 9.

There was dancing to music supplied by Reese Pel,t on and his Seven Wonder Men. Persis Hicks was vocalist. The program was officially opened by Joe Callahan, M. C., who introduced Robert Moser; he sang 'Day By Day," and was followed by Eddie , Blight, who gave his interpretation of tap dancing. Kay Kyser was pu•t to shame when Mr. Walters staged his " What's the Name of That Song" contest. Participan•ts in cluded Doris Raub, Pinky Wilkes, Nelda Braunstein, Faith Davis, Marian Reed , Don Boguszewski, Jim Graham , John Martin, and ,two unknown contestants. The girls carried off the honors. Then came ·t he dance por-tion of the program which included tap dancing by Persis Hicks and jitterbugging by Joe Litohman and Pinky Wilkes , Eleanor Jablonski and Stanl ey Kovalski. The lights were then extinguished and some person ( could it have been Doug M acN ea l?) rendered 'The Grave Digger's Song." Then came the regular feature of Bucknell's Cabaret Party-Mr. Steinmann's solo, " H ow Deep is ,t he Ocean?" The program was officially closed by Doris Smith's reading, "Meet Me at ,the Skating Rink." However, everyone joined in the community singing which followed . The Gibbons Quartet was greatly missf.d on t he regular program, but later in the evening Reese Pelton, Joe Utchman, Jay Rauscher, and Don Boguszewski could be heard harmonizing in one of the corners of the room. Chaperons for the evening were Mr. Walters, Mr. Steinmann, and Dr. Farley. POSTPONED ONE NIGHT The night of Sunday, April 28, proved to be fatal for Bucknell Junior College. About 7 P. M. a pass,erby noticed a fire on -~he second floor of Chase Theater where it is believed that ,t he flames had been active for at leas,t an hour before they were discovered. Four pieces of apparatus and two lines of hose were used for ninety minutes to eJGtinguish the blaze which completely gutted the second floor and weakened the roof to such a degree ,t hat it was burned through in one location. Howeve·r , the fire was only one of the destructive forces, for water completely ·ruined ,t he piano and scenery, damaged the curtains, and filled the cellar. Two firemen were seriously injured fighting the blaze. Monday morning found a bewildered student body staring at che scene before them. Piles of debris were heaped on the lawn and the stage curtains were spread out .t o dry. Mr. Jervis, assis.ted by several other persons, spent considerable time pumping water out of ,the cellar. "The Fa,t her," a tragedy by tcindberg, was performed on Saturday and had been scheduled for Monday and Tuesday nii;rht• The Monday night per'~~ . ·... un was omLtted but a r form n,-.,.. was aiven T11,-.<rl:ov n ,ah.~ ;" ~h .. 1 �chological, and anti-feminist. He had been married .and divorced. He was :Co suffer two more such affairs before his death. One year after "Marriage" came "The Father." This is his finest and most gripping of plays. The story revolves around a captain of cavalry who is beset by the women in his family. The :captain describes ,the situation ,t hus, "It is like going into a cage of tigers, and if I didn't hold red-hot irons under their noses they might tear me to pieces at any moment." For twenty years he and his wife, Laura, have been struggling for supremacy. She has interfered with his management of the estate, tampered with his correspondence and done her best to hinder him in his scientific research. The crisis is reache<l in the dispute over their daughter's education. In order to surmount his rights as Father of the girl, Laura plants a seed of doubt in hi, mind. She hints that he isri't the girl's father. This is legitima,t e murder. Seeds of doubt grow in the Father's mind until he can no longer be convinced otherwise. This insidious plan drives him insane and Laura figuratively washes her hands of the affair. She claims to be entirely innocent of causing this catastrophe. In writing "The Family" and other works, Strindberg a~tempts to prove his main thesis. He believed that in marriage one party must be master and that man could be counted upon to be more just than woman. Strindberg hated women. He thought that the ladies wished to substitute feminine domination for masculine.

' There are two hundred thirtyseven veterans all present or accounted for a,t B. U. J. C. this semester, forming a group which represents more than fifty percent of the total daytime enrollment. F5>rmerly ,t he ex-G. L's were a minority group, but now that ,t hey fo,r m such a large proportion of the student body, .t he Beacon decided ,t o make a cross section survey in order to determine what was right and what was wrong with the alma mater. Before the survey was talc:en it was evident ithat many returning v,eterans had definite id'e as of what they expected from life and from college. Coming from the service where many times expression of ideas was not only discouraged but even sometimes actually forbidden, the few veterans who trickled into .t he college during, the two terms previous to the present term made known •t o all who were her,e just what were their hopes and f,e ars. It was app'a·r ent that ,they were not satisfied with .the caste system of the services, that they were wor.ried about the average civilian's lack of knowledge of the international situation, and that they would not accept familiar codes of living and ways of thinlc:ing wi,th,o ut critical examination. But it was not apparent what the veteran thought about B. U . J.C. Now that a poll has been taken, it has been discovered wh.i,t .t he ex-G. I. thinks about the college, its courses of study, equipment and faci!lities, and its way of living. Here are the results: Gripes and grievances may be classified under two categoriescurricular and non-curricular. Under curricular, the consensus of opinion was that •t he greatest grievance concerned the courses of study. Ma,n y veterans felt that various members of the faculty had given little or no consideration to •the fact that the returning G. I. for the past several years has been studying the intricacies of modern warfare, and has not been following a rigid college curriculum. Many teachers fail to reailize, it was stated, that the veteran has not been in ,t he habit of studying and that it required time to get back to the "old grind". In general, the complaint was that the courses start off ,too heavily, and that the G. I. needs to get used to lengthy assignments a·n d the extracting of ideas out of masses of reading and statistical material. Veterans also expressed having difficulty in courses where there are seV'eral texts used, but where one is used for reading and assignment and the ,o thers are used merely for reference. Another grieva·n ce was the lade of facilities and reading material in the library. Many students fo1t th•a t ,there should be several copies of collateral reading texts, so that everyone in a dass could ha~e access to the material within a short time. Very many students said it was rather unfair for an instruotor to demand outside reading in a particular text, unless sufficient copies of tha.t text were provided, and that provision could have easily been made by the simple expedient of having ,t he instructor order several extra copies. The general -s hortage of reference books and teX>ts for research papers also was commented upon . Several veterans thought that the library should expand itseilf beyond the room now occupied, especially to provide study space during latrer part of -t he morning and the· early part of the afternoon. The "non-curricular gripes" centered around the deplorahle condition of the cafeteria during the noon hour and the inadequate parking facilities on and adjacent to ,t he campus. It wa.s decided that without doubt the cafeteria could stand extensive alterations, o·r , since this seemed impossible, that the cafeteria could be moved to one of the newly-acquired buildings as soon as space became avail.abk. At present the crowded conditions is forcing veterans and other students to go to lunch counters, soda fountains, an<l elsewhere in town, or, in some cases, to go without lunch completely. The studen<ts who were asked about the cafe:iteria were rather vehement in stating that it was too expensive and troublesome to ea,t elsewhere. The veterans want very much to have more parking space. One group of men stated that there should be unresttioted parking space on Sowth R,iver Street between Northampton and South Streets for th,e use of all studen-ts attending B. U. J. C. Many of the veterans, as well as other students, it was pointed out, commute in their own cars, and find it difficult to obtain parking space on and around the campus. Some of the veterans are ,o f ,t he opinion ,that if the student council would appoint a committee to call on the city officials, perhaps arrangements c,o uld be made to lift the parking rei.triotions on South River Street. Highly criiticized was the method of conducting the recent freshman elections. The majority o.f veterans expressed c,o mplete disgust with the arbitra1 y manner of ·t aking a vote by a mere show of hands. "The ballot is a sacred heritage of American democracy and showld be promoted in our institutions of learning", declared one man. Praotioally every veteran who was interviewed felt the same way, and many were more outspoken. Not all the ,opinions formulated were adverse, however. Favorably commented upon were the friendliness ,o f the student body . in general, and the faculty m particular. Special comment was given to the willingness of mos,t of the facuLty ro discuss with •a nd advise the G. I. student on his personal problems, and ,t he desire of ,t he faculty to offer personal attention with difficuLt dass assignme,n ts. The informality of studellltf a c u 1 t y relationships received praise, many ,o f the veterans stating that they wished that they could have had valuable friendship an<l advice earlier in their lives. was omitted but a p , forma:,';..~ was given Tuesday n /gh,t in the First Presby,t erian Church House. As this article goes to press the cause of .t he fire has not yet been determined. The theater building was in-sured, but none of its contents were covered by insurance. ----•·---- SPRING FORMAL GRAND SUCCESS The women's ·s ection of the Goral Club of B. U. J. C. held a musical program over station WBRE at 12:30 March 25. On Fr.iday night, April 26, at the !rem Temple Country Club, Bucknell held its annual Spring semi-formal prom. Music was supplied by Ottello Meucci, who did a splen<lid job. ALthou,gh q u i ,t e ironically, there was a rather heavy snowfall, ,t here was also a very gratifying turnout. Many students from Bucknell attended plus several outsiders. Punch and other refreshments were served during the course of the evening. The m'a in ballroom of the club was crowded with radiant girls in beautiful gowns escorted by handsome men. Dancing began at 9 o'clock and continued until 11 :30, when ,t here was a short intermission. It was then resumed until 1 o'clock, at which time everyone departed after a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The dance was chaperoned by Mr. Morris and Mr. Paxton. Severar selec,tions arranged for women's voices were sung by the chorus: "I Go Before My Charmer," by Thomas Morley; "Con.ta,te Domino," written by one of the grea.t composers of the Renaiss·a nce, S. Leo Hassler, and "Now Thank We All Our God," by Bach. Rhuea Will,iams and Helen Bitler sang a duet, "The Rainbow." A trio composed of Rhuea Williams, Peggy Woolcock, and Helen Bitler sang 'Morning," a composition by Oley Speaks. A solo, "When I Hav,e Sung My Song," was presented by Helen Bitler. The Choral Club was under .t he direction of Professor Gie.1, hea<l of ,t he B. U. J. C.'s Music Depar.t ment. The chorus was accompanied by Mrs. Eugene Farley. At a meeting of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority on Tuesday, April 30, plans were discussed for a Mother's Day tea to be given on Friday afternoon, May 10, at four o'clock. Various commi,ttees were appointed to take charge of ,t he affair. Th.is tea is an annual event to which ,t he mothers of the students are cordially invited. The girls are hard at work ,to make this year's tea one of the most successful. Let us hope that we have a gratifying turnout of both studen,ts and mothers. ----*·---- CHORAL CLUB ON AIR ----*~--MOTHER'S DAY TEA �BUCKNELL BEACON Page Two THE BUCKNELL BEACON Vol. 9 Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 8, 1946 No. 2 Wednesday, May 8, 1946 Activities PLATTER Stude11t March-April ARADE ·- - - EDITORIAL STAFF Editor ·•·•············································ ············•···················••·········-·················Reese Pelton Business Manager......•-··········································································.Jean Lampert Assistant Business Manager ..................................................................

That's great, if you can afford the distraction. Students who entered the college in February dug into their work with a vengeance. The library was busy supplying the demand for books. Even term papers were begun within the first week of school. The newness of being a college student has worn off. The tendency to slow down has increased. The swirling skirts are catching the eye. First names are now in order, and the old wolf instinct is coming to the fore. It is a perfectly normal reaction and above criticism. What can be criticized, though, is the inclination of some students to allow these distractions to interfere with their work. Fellows, you don't have to be told that this is the Golden Opportunity. You can't let yourselves down now that you have the chance to further your education. Have fun but get your school work finished first. Don't be satisfied with a C. Dig in for an A. SUMMER SCHOOL DILEMMA With the approach of warm weather, the question of summer school arises. It may sound like an ·-~~Ie::i~~ant prospect, but nevertheless, it is one to which d_~ep thought mus.t be giv~~= The attendance In the Dance Department1 Charlie Spivak comes ·t hrough with .Frankie Carle's new tune, " Oh! What It Seemed To tle," coupled with " Take Care ." tloth sides include Jimmy Sanders on the vocal end, with Charlie's horn also featured. Buddy Morrow, his trombone, and his orchestra go a little commercial with their arrangements of ''l'm Always Chasing 1fainbows" and " Lullaby." tluddy's trombone has a "f . D . touch which shouldn' t be overlooked. George Lee vocalizes ,t he former. With the exception of Buddy's trombone, no other solo work can be heard. Drummer-man Gene Krupa and company do a good job tor Columbia by waxing "Y esterdays" and "Hop, Skip, and Jump." Saxist Charlie V enturo, tenor sax award winner of t he "Down; Beat" popularity poll, does beautiful solo work through " Yesterdays," a Jerome Kern tune. Jazz singer Anita O 'Day takes vocal honors on the reverse side. In the Swing category, Stan Kenton does it again with "Shoofly Pie" and "l Been Down in Texas." June Christy chirps the lyrics beautifully on "Shoofly Pie." Vido Muso does good work on tenor sax. The flipover has humorous voca ls by Miss Christy, Gene Howard , Ray W erzel, and Kenton. Gene Auld makes his debut on die Musicraf.t label with " Air Mail Special," and "Herc omes Heaven Again.! The baJ1.d is at its best on the first side, jumping all •t he way. George 's tenor was never wilder. Serge Chaloff does a baritone sax work, while Lynne Stevens does a fair vocal on ,t he latter. Many vocals have been cut lately, but among ,t he best are: Peggy Lee's "I Can See It Your Way," and "I Don't Know Enough About You." The exBenny Good-man cana. ' • ;::ome ithrough very niceliy on both sides. Jo Stafford's "You May Not Love Me," and " I Didn' t Mean a Word l Said" is a good record Paul Weston's accompanimen,t is ,tops, with Jo doing as you might expect-swonderfuL tletty Hutton's " D -o ctor, Lawyer, lndian Ghief," and "A ::::.quare in the Social Circles" are from the pic,t ure "Stork Club," and both bounce to Betty's song personality. For you female fans, Johnny Desmond gives out with " In the Moon Mist" and "Do You Love Me? " He does excepcionall y well for his second disc. On the novelty end, Johann Strauss will be turning over- in his grave if he ever catches the Spike Jones' waxing of "The Blue Uanube." Turnover is "You Always Hur,t the One You Love. " Vo<sals by Del Porter, Red Ingle, and Carl Grayson. Both are corn deluxe. For you album collectors, Capitol Records comes out with "The History of Jazz" in four great albums, ( 1) "The Solid South," (2) "The Golden Era," ( 3) "Then Came Swing," and ( 4) "This Modern Age," featuring the greatest assemblage of popular jazz artists ever assembled. A must for all jazz fans. Other discs recommended: "Buzz Me," Ell-a Mae Morse; "The Frim Fram Sauce," King Cole Trio; "Personality," The Satisfiers; "We'll Gather Lilacs," Tommy Dorsey; "Seems Like Old Times," Vaughn Monroe; "Autumn Serenade," Harry James; "I'd Climb ,t he Highest Mountain," The Ink Spots; "Don'-t Forget T onigh,t T omorrow ," The Charioteers; "Surprise Party," Johnny Mercer; "BeBaba-Luba," Helen Humes. Try out the above recordings on your local juke box or your own recording machine. You are sure to be satisfied. Until the next time, then, -Roviniz Reporter. WEINER ROAST AT COUNTRY CLUB The members of the student body held a wiener roast on Mairch 23. Everyone met in front of Chase Hall at 4:00 p. m. and proc-e eded ,to the Irem Temple Gountry Club. In a sho11t ,t ime die students were assembled at the picnic grounds and amused themselves while w~ iting fo-r refreshments. The more romantic couples went for a stroll on die beautiful greens of die golf courses, while tour of our ambitions (?) men played football, to work up a good apetite. Eve,r yone seemed to be enjoying himself, while members of the student council attended ito the refreshments. They built a fire in the fireplace, and fried the hamburgers and ho,t dois. They formed a line, waited -their <turn, and received a delicious looking hamburger (?) . Lt seems that there was some trouble in getting something_ •t o put on them. Mr. Donnielly, our chaperon, couldn't get any ketchup. Someone ,told him to squeeze the bottle, and I believe he did get a little. Whe:ther he enjoyed it or not-well, you better aslc him. With all kinds of soda, and plenty of potato chips, I believe everyone was quite stuffed when it was time to leave. It seems thait someone made a bad attempt at making coffee, or we might have had some-thing warm to drink. Around 7:30 the party broke up, and proceeded to Chase Hall where there was dancing, ~inding up a perfect evening. ---•*___ PRE-MEDS VISIT RETREAT On Saturday, April 27, twenty five students visited Retreat Men• tal Hosoital under the auspices SOCIOLOGY CLUB DISCUSSIONS The Sociology Club held its first meeting ot the semester on Tuesday, Nlarch 5, 1946. Mr. John Kotis read a paper concerning the punishment of criminals. After this, the members conducted an open discussion, giving ,t heir views on die proper penaLty for offenders. At die next meeting, which was held on Thursday, March 28, the subject discussed was " What do the men think of American women?" The discussion was opened by Ralph Hodgson, who was critical of the women. Miss McCarthy was quick to take up the defense of her ~ex. Following this, the discussion was lively, with everyone voicing his opinion. It was very interesting to hear members of each sex state what ,t hey expected when ,t hey picked their mates. Many of ,t he future meetings will be in ,t he form of trips. One of these will be to ,the women's section of the Gounty Prison, and another will be made ,t o Retreat Mental Hospital. Everyone is invi.ted -t o join ,the club, which is surely one of the most interesting on the campus. Mr. John Boyce is president of the club. The advisor is Mr. Symonolow1cz. ---·* --SPORT DANCE On April 5th a successful sport dance was held in the First Presbyterian Church House. Music was furnished by Reese Pelton's nine-piece or-0hestra which played from 8 to 12. One of the outstanding features of ,t he evening was ,t he appearance of Carl Shonk and his camera, which resulted in a large number of photos being taken for the yearbook. As usual, the regular "jitterbugs" were present, adding color . to. • __ -t he affair, while __ the more 1 1- _ : ___ 1 : •• _ ..i _ r ____ J �which deep thought must be given. The attendance of summer sessions makes possible the completion of College in a greatly shortened period of time. The average Bucknell stud.ent's age being greater than that of previous classes necessitates this early matriculation. The valuable time thus saved can be utilized in securing employment and establishing one's self in society. The majority of the summer classes will be held in the mornings. It will be relatively cooler and more conducive to study than in the hot sultry afternoons.· It is advisable for the students who enrolled in February, and do not wish to attend the regular summer sessions, to continue their studies during this summer, as it will enable them to catch up with the students who enrolled in October. Then they can take their vacations in the summer during the following years. Watch For "MAKING THE ROUNDS OF THE MUSIC CIRCLES" With Martin NEXT MONTH Frank Parkhurst, Jr. Inc.

Many of the girls will go in for it in a big way, and everyone will enoy the presenc~ in the cast of Claudette Colbert, Orson Well es, and George Brent. The film stems from a popular novel by Gwen Barstow. It has to do with the life of two young persons portrayed by Claudette and Orson. They had been married a very short while when World War I came along. Orson is badly shot up; rather than come home crippled and badly disfigured, he permits himself to be declared dead, changes his life, and hides out in Europe. Twenty years la·t er, as the new war is about to start, he comes home, finds a job and-yes-his boss is Claudette's new husband. She's had a happy life and children in the meanitme. They meet-and ,t here is a solution to the problem. The acting by Colbert, Welles, Lucille Watson, and Natalie Wood is above the average. The Blue Dahlia is a strong, •t aut whodunit, and a very good suspense item-well worth seeing. Alan Ladd comes home from the Pacific to find that his wife, Doris Dowling, has been cheating. Then, before he can do anything, she is murdered and he is swpected. There follows a slow, careful run-down of the murderer. You may guess who the culprit is before ,t he police move in, but it won't matter. It's well-done and fa~t-moving and has magnificent dialogue. Ladd is at his top form. He is given good support by Ver onica Lake. Will,am Bendix, Howard DeSilva, Howard Freeman, and Tom Powers round out a better-than-average cast. Sentimental Journey is still another epic of heartbreak and sentimentality. Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, and William Bendix are the stars, and it should do very well at the box office. You gals had getter take along several handkerchiefs. The tears will roll long and steadily. Maureen is supposed to be a famous stage star who suffers with a heart ailment. She adopts a child in order ot make sure that her husband (Payne) will not be left alone if she should die. Then she does die and the child ·t akes over, trying to replace the void in her fosterfather's heart. There are a lot of detail,, bu-t that is really all the story. There's acting by O'Hara, Cedric Hardwicke, and Connie Marshall, a brand new child actress. The Well-Groomed Bride is a good comedy with a lot of vrey amusing moments. Ray Milland and Olivia de Havilland are the stars, and they do a grand job of acting. It seems ,t hat Milland needs a bottle of champagne ( surprised?) with which to launch a ship. Olivia has a bottle bu,t won'•t give it up, because she wants to use it -t o celebrate her forthcoming marraige to Sonny Tuf,t s. Well, you know right then that Milland will wind up with both the champagne and the girl. But it's a lot of fun nevertheless. Breakfast In Hollywood is a movie version of the highlypopular radio program starring Tom Breneman. Of necessity, the s-tory is slimit's just a day in the life of Breneman. He ,t ells corny jokes, does screwy ,t hings, straightens out some romances, gives out some trite advice, and generally makes himself a happy-go-lucky knowall, do-all. Packed in between are some songs by Andy Russell, the King Cole Trio, and Spike Jones' City Slickers; also some goofy hats by Hedda Hopper and Zasu Pitts. Bonita Granville and Eddie Ryan handle the romance. KNIFFEN * * * A FARMER DANCE WILL BE HELD MAY I Ith hve students visited Ketreat Mental Hospital under the auspice~ of the Pre-Med Club. The group left Chase Hall at 8 A. M. in order to arrive early enough tc observe theh administration of the shock -t reatment. This treatmen,t consists of passing a current of eighty volts of electricity through the brain of the patient, thus producing convulsions. Such a treatment is given to patients and is highly effective in curing many cases. Following this demonstration, Dr. Yost e:x;plained the symptoms and results of eacb type of illness, and illus-t rated b) interviewing one or two example~ of each type. The group left for Wilkes-Barre at 12:15, ,t erminating an interesting and educational morning.

They proved tha,t the research area tor business educ.t• t1on lies in ,t he field of business. With a business world that is subject to constant change, business pursuers must be prepared a·t all ,nmes -t o cope satisfactorily with the standards and trends ot modern business. One great help for the highschool and college students to seek an opportunity for super• v,i sed trairung in selling was the Goerge-Ueen Aot, passed by Congress.

When asked what type of girl he preferred, he said simply, "Girls in general. They have my hearty approval." (Thanks, "Zuk.") His spare time is spent in playing golf or eating spaghe.t ti with mushrooms. If "Zuk" goes around muttering under his breath, it may be that he's just talking about his pet peeve, English 102. I wonder if Mr. Collins' jokes could have anything to do with it? "Zuk's" ambition, like every other engineer's, is to be a good one. Good luck, "Zuk." FLORENCE KUNEN New York City's gift to Bucknell is Flo Kun en . H er New York origin may account for the way she says " saw" and "bottle."

U. J. C., and smce many students are not a ware of the raison d 'etre ot this program, we have interviewed the persons most qualified Ito explain the benefits c:teriving from such a program; namely, Mr. Morris, c,o uncilor tor men, and Dr. Farley, Director of the College. Miss Sang,iuhano, of course, is also well quaJ.ified to discuss this program; but Mis,s Sanguiliano being Miss Sanguiliano, she could not be seen long enough to obtain a statement. Mr. Morris gained much valuable council experience from the V,e terans' Guidance Center before coming ,t o B. U. J. C. He said that councilors have a broad general concept ,o f ,t he field and can advise students accordingly. They have an acquaintance with the requirements of ,t he school, concerning the number of quality credi,ts, ,t he rules and r-egulat.ipll)S covering condiition-s and incompletes, and required and elective courses. They endeavor to fit ithe school program wiith individual objectives and to crystalize -t he thoughts of ithe s·t udent. The faculty advisor has a record of students' achievements in mental and English tests, and thus can dete-r mine whe.t her each studetllt is measuring up to his potentialities. All physical or mental disturbances showld be taken up wi.th the advisor. Dr. farley said, "A s•tudent coming to college is ordinarily choosing his lifetime career, and in the choice made in the early years of his life, he is to a great extent determining what he will do in the years ahead. As this decision is of ,t remendous impo,r -t anoe ,to him, it is vital that he shall have a mature person to whom he can turn for consolation and ad vice. In addition, I am convinced th,a t the advantage of a small college lies in the r-eLationship between the student and the facul,t y.

Compliments of GLENDALE DAIRIES STUDENT ADVOCATES BULLETIN Recent developments in the world point ,o ut the necessity for a fair distribu~ion of information.

Some means must be instituted whereby s,tudents enrolled in all courses will be subected to correct s-ocial and political ,t hinking. Part of the functions of the Army Special Services was its orientation program. A salient feature of -this program was .t he bulletin board. This board was prominently located so that a maximum number of men would see it without going out of their way. Similarly such a board should be initiated at Bucknell. This current affair display could be place·d in Chase Hall. Each week one or two important topics would be projected. Both sides of any question would receive equal atten,t ion, thus giving every s,t udent a well-rounded picture of the disputed issue. With such a visual aid, the students will be able to come out of -t he mist a·n d fog of uncertainty. They will no longer wande-r around in confusion but will take the lead and move forward in a direot line to clear and intelligent ·thinking. �BUCKNELL BEACON 0~ Tti~ 13~~'" Twosomes noticed at .t he spring formalAnn Stapleton and Jay Rauscher still going strong; Flo Kunen and John Redding; Mary Jean McCarthy and Lee Roan who, incidentally, looked stunning in tails; Janet Rogers and the much talked about Olaf Becker; Dolores Seitchek and Jack Kloeber; Clayton Karambelas and his high school sweetheart, Lily Jane Eddy; Joan Lott and Ernie James, ,t he la-t ter resplendent in a tuxedo; Nel_d a brounstein and John Martm; Peggy Woolcock and Henry Anderson; Shirley Stookey and Harold Diamond; Isabel Smith and Dom Yanchunas; noticeably absent was our revered editor, Reese Pelton, who had other business, or so he tells us.

The young peoples of all countries-viotor and vanquished -looked toward the formation of a league of youth which would bind the young people of all nations .t ogether. Even a spiritual union would have been wholeheartedly accepted, but no such a union was attained. The interests and problems of young people were pushed into the background as the diplomatic maneuvering and scheming of statesmen were given first consideration. There is the evident danger today that history in this case will repeat itself. If that is permitted to occur, rest assured that the same ,t ragic results will come. It has been ,t he writer's purpose during the last two years to make clear the need for bringing the young people of the world together on a mutual stand. With seeming vagueness I have urged the furthering and strengthening of the universal fellowship of youth. My message has not changed. I am now seeking the permanent establishment of a program destined to effeot in all cer>tainty .t his universal fellowship of ,t he world's young people. Virtually void of any vision, the leaders of .t he nations of the world give little or no attention to •t he plea to . bring about the intermingling of peoples of the world. Then, too, many-including young people themselveshave unwittingly accepted die inevitability of war and, conseq uend y, are upholding the invalidity of the present World Youth Council and its member organizations. I quote, as evidence of this thinking, the statement of a service man in a letter Wednesday, May 8, 1946 Wec~,~,~!?Pers Who ever siad that all is tranquility in a dormitory? A few nights ago the riot squad was called to 78 West Northampton •t o apprehend June (demon) Marshall and myself. A small uproar had occurred in the mos,t popular room in the dorm ( the library?). We heard, in the midst of the tourmoil, a voice screaming, "Quiet Hours." Could it have been M. O.? Oh, no! As yet, this reporter has not found the solution to the "face in the window." Anyone ab le to render assistance will be given a card which will enable him to stand in line for an ounce of butter. Jean Lampert wants it advertised that " 'Easy' is en route." You figure that out. Mary Martin is disgusted with the sink. She keeps begging for a plumber, and we are wondering if she wants one for the sink! (That's a pun, son.) Question of the month: Does "DATING" TECHNIQUEA HUMOROUS STORY There are two sides to any date, that of the "dater" and that of the "datee." As the initiative is supposed to lie with the man, I will discuss the masculine aqgle from personal experience. There is a certain technique to making dates. If possible, make your date at least ten minutes before you plan to leave, for she must have time •t o gain permission from all her relatives as well as to discuss your character with her best friends . Insist on ,t he date no matter how many excuses she gives, for there is certainly no logical reason why she wouldn't go out with you. Now that you ddini,t ely have the date, it's time to think about appearance, but don't think too much. Don't consider the occasion--dress for comfort. Unless you have a tie ,t hat lights up in the dark, it is not necessary to wear one. As for the feet, I have alwavs found sneakers·most com- Miss Sangiuliano eat between meals? Ask Mr. Anthony.

That's all for now. See you next month. LAST MINUTE FEATURES ( Continued from page 2) she and Lew are still good friends.

HISTORY The other day as I was on my way to the library, I overheard two prominent freshmen engaged in the following conversation: First 'F rosh - How are you making out in His,t ory? Second Ditto-Not too badly now. I was confused for a time with ,t hose Greek characters. First-Ye,s I can understand the situat ion. I have just begun to become more familiar with the course. Second-Did you get tha,t part where Rameses, the ruler of Egypt led his people on the second crusade to the Holy Lands to attend the meeting of ,t he First Triumvirate which consisted of Marc Anthony, Na,poleon, and St. Patrick? First-Yes, but the part I was really interested in was the Peloponesian War when ,th:o s.e forty Trojans took their stand at Waterloo and defeated the French army led by Henry VIII. If some army tanks had been sent in ,t he archers would have been routed. -Fine- dence o.t this thmkm,g , the statement of a service man in a letter addressed ·t o me: "I can'.t see how you figure 'it is not fantastic to state -that young people of ,t he world can come ,t ogether and consequently doom war for eternity.' In the first place you have only seen the young people in America. You don',t know whait •t hey ,t hink or how .t hey feel in the rest of the world. The world is not at rest riow and won't be. No nation trusts any •o ther nation. The invention of the atomic bomb ihias made America more unpopular than ever before, a~d in five years every nation will know the secrets of a,t omic energy. Already there are plans for ,t he ne~t war and your International Youth Hostel Association, as much as you would like to ,t hink it will, won't s•t op it. There will be another war and it isn't going to take long to shape up." When -t he represen,t atives of the leading you:th ,o rganizations of the United Nations convened in London last October and November t o set into operation the World Youth Council the second great attempt was made ,t o bring about the much-demanded League of Y ouch. This time it must succeed. It can be ,t he greatest force outside of the United Nations Organization for world peace. One of the outstanding proponents of a League of Youth after the First W odd War stated .t hat as a result of the common understanding which would come from ,t he formation of the League young people could refus-e to fight each other unless they were convinced of the necessity for fighting. Today we should be convinced that there is no necessity for war; therefore, it should be clear that .t he youth of the world can join hands and refuse unequivocally to fight one other. -Ralph Beane. wear one.

Make sure it is firmly plastered down so that wind and jitterbugging will have no harmful effects upon it. Don' t worry about the creases in your clothes-it gets dark early and no one will ever know you slept in your blue pin-stripe last night. If you are calling for the girl in a car, be sure ,t o announce your arrival with ,t he horn since the doorbell may be out of order. If by chance she isn' t ready, walk right into the living-room and make yourself at home. If th e family is out for dinner, you will have a n excellent opportunity to examine every object in the room, and you need have no qualms about sampling the pipes in ,t he rack. Don't eat before you go as the icebox in her house will undoubtedly be well stocked. I hope you won't feel obligated ,t o rise when she enters the room. This is a needless waste of energy and doesn't accomplish anything, anyway . You are now ready to leave . Make sure that you proceed her going ou•t the door or you'll be forced to close in. Such things as helping her in and out of the car are silly-she's probably twice as strong as you are.

C was included in the list of colleges throughout che nation ~o whom questionnaires were sent. NEW BUILDINGS A survey of the buildings obtained by Buden.ell University Junior College since it established permanent residence on the South River Street block in 1937 shows dearly the rapidity with which the institution is growing. In 1937 the John Conyngham Hall was obtained. and in t_h~ With Buclc:nell's traditional Cabaret Party scheduled for Friday, July 18th, it becomes necessary for this paper to present a short history of this type of event for the benefit of the new Freshman class. The Cabaret Party had its origin in a merting of the Student Council last summer when members of ,that organization were searching for something new in the entertainment fidd. At that time it was decided that a nightclub style party had great potentialities, and plans were made to hold an old-fashioned one. Accordingly the event was held as scheduled and was a tremendous success. The theater was decorated lilce a nigh,cdub and tables were set up around a dance floor. All men wore handlebar mustaches which were distributed at the door. An alltudent orchestra directed by Howie Oinstel provided music for dancing and the floor show. The party was such a success that the following semester another cabartt•s-tyled party was held on January 25th in die First Presbyterian C h u r ch House. Music was supplied by Pelton's Collegians, an eight-piece orchestra, which played for dancing as well as the floor show. Entertainment included Spencer & Rapc:zynski, comedians; the Famous Four, a quartet that burlesqued radio commercials; Bogwzewslci, the Happy Tramp; Callahan ~ ,Burtsa~age, do, �Promptly a·t 9:00 o'clock the show began. The curtain opened on a stage in the center of which was a ,t able piled with prizes and on the side of which was a mysterious, covered table. After an out break of noise backstage, Reese Pelton, master of ceremonies , On Septem~er 16, 1940, the came running on ithe stage folselective service ,t rammg and lowed by Al Dervinis, the official service act was approved by the consequence man.

Two of the stronger individuals in the audience-Ann Bradshaw and Al Miller--,drank the concoction which they declared was delicious. The show continued in ,t he same vein with such intellectual questions as "How ,m any square inches on an egg? " and a musical quiz in whioh Anderson played one note from a song whose title the contestant was ,t o guess. Nelson promptly rang the (cow) bells and the contestants scurried on ·t heir way to the consequences throughout ,t h e evening. Other consequences induded the bringing back of a girl from Main Street, a waiter-throwing party, and a speech on "Why I should be director of BUJC", delivered from ,t he balcony at different times ·t hroughout the evening. Prizes were awarded to every contestant. Then a drawing was held among all contestants and the winner, Stratton, was awarded a pair of nylon hose. This was followed by drawings for the door prizes which were awarded to the audience. Faith Davis received a pair of nylons as the chief prize. Refreshments were served by the student council. Mr. Steinmann and Dr. Reif were chaperones. OUTING AT MOYER'S GROVE B. U. J . C. held an outing at Moyer's Grove on Saturday, June 22 . Local mosquitoes, however, were far better represented ,t han members of ,t his college. In fact, the mosquiooes made quite an impression on all who attended. An exciting baseball game was held in the early afternoon wi,tih Flynn's Bombers defeating Pelton's errorlesis nine by a score of 35-20. A skillful pitching duel highlighted the contest. The game was called at .t he end of the fifth inning because of expected darkness. The hungry baH dubs then returned to ea,t hamburgers, seasoned by adding rust. Those whose stomachs handled ,t his choice food ithen used soda to dissolve the rust. Af.ter wasting a few dollars in whom questionnaires were sent.

Though a crowd attended ,t he affair, it was far from being a real succe55. It is the sincere wish of the student council that future outings will be far better attended. Mrs. Williams chaperoned the affair. In 1937 ,t he John Conyn·g ham Hall was obtained, and in the sam.e year Chase Hall; in 1938, Weckesser Hall; in 1941, Kirby Home of Education; in 1945, Veteran's Guidance Building; in 1946, the buildings at 158 and 164 South River Street and the building at 191 South Franklin Street. Of the -last four buildings obtained since last fall, one is likely to be used as a music school, one will be used as a dormitory for girls, and a third for a men's dormitory. The fourth will be used for classrooms. Among ,t he nwnerous altera,t ions taking place about the school may be noted the new laborarories which have been installed ,to care for technioal and scientific students. A new organic laboratory is being installed and a quantaitive labora,t ory was . completed last year. A bacteriology laboratory was equipped and during the summer Bucknell will equip a new botany laboratory. In addition, ,t wo new drawing rooms have been provided for engineers and considerable addi,t ional equipment has been p~chased. Our new book store is located at 191 South Franklin Street. The structure to the rear of this building is being altered to serve as ,t he new cafeteria. The cafe,t eria will be opened for the fall term. This wiH be a great asset to t he college because of ,t he large number of students that may be accommodated. The student enrollment this fall is ,t o be the largest to date. However, further adjustments are under way so the iarge group enrolled can be handled with ,t he highest efficiency. ---~*·---- SPORT DANCE On June 14 the traditional "Get-Acquainted" Dance, held each semester ,t o iniitiate t he new freshman class into .t he social life of B. U. J. C., was held in the Presbyterian Church House. Aft er listening to Kipsel's recording of "Pickle in the Middle and the Mustard on Top", ·t he group, spar ked by Dr. Reif, finally began to dance, The dancing continued until 12 P. M. During the evening, entertainment in the pantomine style was presented by a cast that included Jay Rauscher, Reese Pelton, Al Dervinis, Henry Anderson, Nelson Nel( Continued on page 4) Callahan & Burtsavage, dog dancers; and four other superb acts. Once again the patty wa;; an overwhelming success with virtually every studen,t present. By this time the Cabaret Patty was a ,t radition looked forward ,t o each semester by the student body. Last semester the party was held Friiday, April 12, amid beautifully decorated surroundings of a nighttlub style. Music was again furnished by the Collegians and the floor show was stupendous. Joe Callahan served as M. C. Included in the show were Eddie Blight, tap dancer; Bob Moser and John Martin, vocalists; Doug McNeal, master of the fantastic; Doris Smith, reader; Persis Hicks, tap dancer, and five other acts. A song-naming contest was also staged and communtty singing was enjoyed between acts. This patty exceeded all possible expectations and was a huge success. The forthcoming party shows promise of becoming an even more successful affair. Don't fail to enjoy the--,dancing, floor show, refreshments, candy, and generally friendly aitmosphere that puts the Cabaret Party among B. U. J . C.'s oldest and mo.st enjoyed traditions. 'FIRST * ASSEMBLY The lower freshman class was introduced ,to the Bucknell system of chapel and student government ait the first assembly program of ,t he 1946 summer semester on Monday, June 24. The program · was opened with a hymn and Bible reading by Dr. Farley, . followed by a talk on "Personality" by Prof. Symonolewicz. The assembly was then closed with the singing of die Junior College song. Joe Callahan, President of the Student Council, presided. as the lower freshman class nominated officers. The two candidates for the presidency are Wesley Lane and Dave Morr-is. This contest will probably be decided by the time this is published. Morris Feinstein is t he sole nominee for vice-president and Doris Gorko was nominated for the office of secretary-treasurer. Nominiaitions were dosed . immediately after Doris was introduced to the class. According to the wish of the lower freshman class, ,t he election was held by secret ballot. �Page Two BUCKNELL BEACON ,:..:) jJ THE BUCKNELL BEACON Vol. 9 Wilkes-Barre, Pa., July 18, 1946 No. 3 EDITORIAL STAFF mditor........................................................................................................

F a culty Adviser ...................................................................... Mr. Joseph G . Donnelly ACTIVITIES' PROGRAM It seems imperative that something be said concerning the position of social activities in B. U. J. C. A few semesters ago and up to the present semester it could be truthfully said that eighty percent or more of the student body attended each of the weekly affairs. With an increase in enrollment it was believed that there would be a corresponding rise m attendance at such gatherings. However, as the enrollment increased there was no such increase in attendance. The student who is able to participate in such social affairs and does not is missing fifty percent of the value to be derived from college. Not everyone is expected to attend every social function but greater interest can and must be stimulated if Bucknell is to carry out its activities' program with any degree of success. This is meant as a challenge to the student body, and especially the Freshmen, the purpose of which is to see if they can be stirred from the partial lethargy into which they have recently slipped. KEEP SMILING! How lucky we are. Lucky to be young-lucky to be free. Sure, it may be a topsy-turvey world today, · but think of tomorrow. We must laugh today. The pace may be jittery, the path may be unsure, but a bright to.morrow is on the way. We've got to believe Peggy Lee, former B. G . canary, is really going places. She "oollabed" on the song, "I Don't Know Enough About You" , has a contract with Capitol Records, and jw.t landed a summer air show. The Andy Russell fans call themselves the "Russell Sprouts". Radier cl.lJte, don'.t you think? The tlleW Ray McKinley band is getting a good build-up ait die Meadowbrook. He just recorded a song itha:t the AEF Band wrote and feaitured while Ray was pounding the skins for tha( organiza,tiron. "Got Any Gum, Oium?" is <the itwk and the British kid6 furnished ,t he inspir • ation. For a number of years it has been a trend t.o revive old songs, but a new angle has been added. Now they change me titles to fool the public! Johnny Green's "Out of Nowhere" has "You Came Along" on <the song sheet and "When We're Alone" is now SIO!d under ,t he tile of "Penithouse Serenade." Bob Houston, who used to make tihe Johnny Long bail.lads so easy ito l,i sten to, is out of service and making his bid for fame as a sin~e via the air lanes Saturday mornings. Como was picked ia5 one of ithe ten best dressed men in America. Can't undCll'S!tand why they passed up Spike Jones. Th blending of Ghatil.ie Ventura's ,t enor s,ax and Buddy Stew• al.'lt:'s voice is something different wor.,th listeni.nig to. You'll h a ve to do it via recordings now since Charlie just left the Krupa outfit to lead his own band. The Three Suns, one of <the most unusual and popular trios in the business, have ,tur·n ed song writers. Tihei:r <theme is an origina,l com.position and their newest, " Lt's Dawn Again", hias ,t ha t same quality di.a,t makes iit beautifully different. After a long absence from Tin Pan Alley, Irving Berlin came up wiith a· terrific score I s•a id it and I'm glad! Pa:ts-y Bolton, the fourtee n year old singing sensation on ithe Eddie Cantor show, was aotuaiLly discovered by Al Pearce and was featured on his afternoon show. Beryl Davis, England's popular female vocalist, could make our best s.iit up and ,t ake notice. Music starved GI' s in EuI10pe really enjoyed t he British pI10grams on which she sang. The highest salary ever paid to an individual performer for one engagement was paid to Sinatra for a week at the San Francisco Theatre. He worked on a fifty-fifty percentage and h;is share was $43,000. Bob Eberly is making a personal appearance tour throughout the country,. as a single. He scored a h it at the Paramount in New York and it looks as though he's on the road ito success. Few vocalists have suoh a list of hit recordings beh,i,n d <them to start them off, as does Bob. Lynn Stevens takes over the . voca,l spot left vacant in· Woody Her.man's band by Frances Wayne. She's going to find it hard ro step into the shoes of a girl who produced such wonderful v.ocals as "Happiness is a Thing Galled Joe". The Dinning Sisters are working overtime! Besides appearing in Columbia Pictures, .t hey' re singing nightly a,t itih.e Troe in Hollywood and recording for Capitol. Move over Andrews Sisters, you've met your match! "Do You Love Me?" is a "must" picture for Dick Hayme's fans. One ·of the many songs he sings in it ·i s "As if I Didn't Have Enough On My Mind," which Ha·r ry James wrote for t he picture. This is a reunion for Dick and Harry since they worked together years ago when Dick was Harry's vocaili6t. If you like Riiita H~yworth's sin-ging in " Gilda" you may like to know t ha.t it's the voice of Martha vocalist writing his own arrangemeilltS. Jack Fine, excellent pianist who adopted and •a rranged ''Tonight We Love" for Fr eddy Marcin, has leh a vacancy in that outfi<t ,t hat wi-11 be hard to fill. Ken Curtis, who was the first siinger with Shep Field's sax band, is now serenading leading tadies in westerns a,t a much greater salary. Alvino Rey must believe in numbers. He has twelve brass and eight vocalists. Jan Garber's daugih.t er ,h as come of age and is singing with <the band under the name of K i.tty Martin (good name). Dit-to Frankie Carie's daughter who calls hersdf Ma,r jorie Hughes. Paul Whiteman gave Harry Babbitt a boost towards stardom on his "Stairway to ,the Stars" show. Harry just signed a Mercury recording contraot and is scheduil.ed for a summer program with Mary Small. The "Hit Parade" shows a ,t rend rowards sweet music in ,the countty. One of the recent issues had only one novelty song, all the rest being lush baLlacls. Viotor is building up Betty Rhodes as a new singing "fiind". They discovered her in P.aramounit Piotures where she's been singing for yea r s. The break they're giving her is swell, bl.lJt why tihe phoney pubh city? Newe$t fad in the band business is for horn players ·to sprout upper chin goa.tees. If you want to see what <they look like, dig up a pie of Dizzy GiUespie or Red Rodney, Krupa ,t rumpet ace. A Hollywood idea ,t hat's been on die pan for a long ,cime is the l ife story of ,t he Dorsey Brot hers. It goes -iilJto production under the tide of "The Fabulous Domeys". Should be good! Louise King dropped out of the act to take up the career of a house wife, bl.lJt iit won't effect the musical qua.l:i.ty or ,t he appearance of .t he grou~. S ister There is a young lady aitJtending school who insists on springing from d iving boards. The young lady in question is Beverly Broadt and she loves to dive and swim. The vital statis• tics on Miss Broad,t are tha,t she is 18, lives in Fotity Fort where she wen,t to high sohool, has blonde hair, and is a lower sophomore. If we stop ,t here, however, we won't get any inkling of the personality of an engaging person •l ike Beverly. Beverly will discuss any subject, with anyone, at any time. She loves dogs and wants to have a kennel full when she is older. Beverly says she is going ,t o live in the mountains, preferably the Poconos, because "the air is so exhilerating". Whatever you do, never suddenly surprise Beverly when she is alone, for she is probably thinking--( she does, too, think)-for Beverly is an industrious gid who enjoys her philosophy class lect ures. Don',t think our Beverly goes around -lost in the clouds of thought all ,t he time. On the contrary, she "loves" all types of dancing, and a good laugh, any• thing tha<t goes to make a good time. The next time you see an enthusiastic young miss with a haunt ing, dreamy smile on her face, busy at work for the Choral Club, Thespians, or ,t he Beacon, you will meet Beverly Broadt. Has anyone seen a tali., lazylike, good-natured feHow with close-cropped black hair? You haive! Then you must know Henry Anderson. It seems anyone who has met Andy can not help like him. In return, Andy is a friend oo everyone he meets. Of course it is only fair to say Andy prefers meeting persons of the opposite sex, pre-ferabl y in composition or hi91lory class. It seems Andy has a preference for ,them----!bis,tory and oomposiition we mean. Some of the other iovs of Andv's life �bright tomorrow is on the way. We've got to believe that. Laughter is so very important in these mad and feverish days. We can't afford to grow harsh and sullen. Yes, we're so very lucky-we can laugh. But even more important than laughter is lovelove of life, love of country, love of friends. Love of friends-think about it for a minute. When the last bomb has exploded, when the last gun has been fired, when the last plane has dived toward the earth, when all the ruin and horror of war have been washed away-friends always remain. We all know that the loneliest person in all the world is the one who has no friends. Hold fast to those you have, make new ones, but above all-keep smiling! Although war 1s cruel and ugly, life can still be bright. There's a saying: "Love can tell and love alone, how each atom knows it own, how in spite of woe and death, gay is life and sweet is breath." This little phrase sums up living so very simply and yet so beautifully-more perfectly than even volumes could express. No matter how dark tom or-' row may appear, no matter how sad this grand, old world may be-"in spite of woe, in spite of deathgay is life and sweet is breath." · Frank Parkhurst, Jr. Inc. • • General Insurance CRAFTSME'N ENGRAVERS • Miners Nat.

Robert Smt1JtJOn repkced Dave Street on the Jack Haley radio show. Bob is Dick Hayme's brother and has been making "H" pictures aJt: Columbia afrer graduating from the bands of Orrin Tucker and Freddy Mar.tin. This i:s tihe break he needs <to atta:in fame without the use of his bronher' s name. The Pdlk fomrily is a busy and versartile group as the following activities poitllt •Out. Lucy Ann sings with Ray Kyser, brother Gordon does the same with Bob Crosby, and Vernon has a radio spot with Harry Zimmerman's band. Once a week they get together t o form the Town Criers who are featured -o n ,t he Ford air show. In addition they make records. In their spare ,time they rehearse . This may start a controversy, but I personally think that Don Brown, with Tommy Tucker, is tihe best vocalist with a band. I offer any of his records as proof. that it's the voice of Martha M.ears, popular ra-dio song·socess, that you're actually hearing. The "DoLl Face" thait Perry ·Como carries a ,t orch for in the picture of ,t he same name, is the same Mar.tha Stewiar,t who chir'Ped for Glenn Mi:Mer and Claude Thorn hi'11. Incide111tally, the story of -t his picture was authored by Gypsy Rose Lee . Perhaps the reiason th.a.t ithe current ballad, "If I Had a W ,i hing Ring", has such a beautiful tune •is .thait: it w-as wri·t t.cn by Louis Alter, who wrote the memorable music for "Trail of the Loniesome Pine". Watah tlh e Buddy Mo rrow band go pla ,s ! Th y have been chosen as ,th e "Band of -t he year" and boast s ve,ra:l ex-name personnel , :such as Carl Denny, who sang with Hal McIntyre, and Johnny M;icAfee, former Harry Jam es vocal<i:st and ·s ax man. Som et1hing new and differetllt in ,the v:o oal field is Alan Gerard with George Barry. The hand is get:1:'ing a '1ot of a,i,n time which is a good thing for an up and coming singer. Do you remember the ,tune to ,the oldie, "Picking Cherries Under a Strawberry Moon" ? Compare it to ithe recently popular "Atlantic G. A." and note the amazing resemhlance. Tony Martin, who has an MGM aantract and an occasional record,ing date w1tih Mercury Records, has one of <the mos.t "Listen.able" radio shows on the air. If you like smooth singing, he's on Saiturday nights. If the background music kept you "Spellbound" ,throughou,t th e picture , give the credit ,t o Milkos Rosza, who received the academy award f.or his effort5. The award for ,t he best picture song wetllt •t o Richard Rodgers for his "Lt Might As Well Be Spring" from "State Fair". Lou Anne Hogan, who sang the song for Jeanne Gr,l'iin in ,t he piiotuire, looks as well as she sings. Peter DeRose must have done a slow burn when "You Won't Be Saitisfied" became a hit. It was a d·ireot steal from his "Never a D -a y Goes By". "Seems Lik,e Old Times" sounds like "It's Been So Long" and "Gypsy" i5 too reminiscent of Bob Warren's "Ciity Galled Heaven". In a recen,t poll "Stardust" was ohos-en as the greaitest popular song o.f all time. I can't think of ·a better choice, can you? In case you',r e interested, Beverly Byrne singing w1th Randy Brooks is Buddy Stewant's sis,ter. Gene Howard s,i nging with Srtan Ken•t on is perhaps the only band one musical qua111ry or the appearance ,o f the group. Sister Marilyn, who sings and looks like Louise, is fiMing in.

"Baby" is already a hit and "Promise", on the reve rse, looks as though it may make the hit class aiso, the same way that "I'll Be Around" on the back of "Paper Moon" became popular. LES BROWN "I've Got the Sun in the Morning" "It Couldn't Be True" "True" is a very catchy song well sung by a newcomer, Jack Haskell. Doris Day lends her local talents to "Sun", one of ,t he brighter tunes getting a lot of attention. This is one of the last records that Doris will make with the band. She leaves for Hollywood soon. MARGARET WHITING "Come Rain Or Come Shine" "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" Both tunes are excellent and well done by Miss Whiting. Her practice of singing out is so refreshing compared to the " run of the mill" girl vocalists who specialize in subduing and dragging out their tones, trying to produce a novel effect. INK SPOTS "Prisoner Of Love" "I Cover the Waterfront" If you like the s,tyle that this group uses, and who does?-' t, you'll enjoy these two oldies . There are many versions of "Prisoner" on wax but this one is delightfully different. "Waterfront", Johnny Green's tune on the other side, is treMed in much the same way. The tenor with the Spots is good but he'll never fill Billy Kenny's shoes. BOYD RAEBURN "Tonsilectomy" "Forgetful" "Yerxa" "Rip Van Winkle" Here are the long-awaited records made by the much talked of Page Three BUCKNELL BEACON Thursday, July 18, 1946 tune 1s a littl e monotonous but helped o ut tremendously by Harry's uumpet and a Genme Powell vocal. Buddy DiVito has wisely given up the practice of imitating Sinatra and is putting out some good vocals in his own style, as evidenced by his interpreta,t ion of Harry's own tune, "Mind". RAYMOND SCOTT "Enchanted Forest" "Toonerville Trolley" "Mr. Basie Goes to Washington" "Magic Garden" Here is some of the music that up ' til now has been heard only by the armed forces . All are Scott originals, beaUJtifully scored as only Ray can do them. Lately he has been using "Forest" as his theme. KAY KYSER "All The Time" "Love On A Greyhound Bus" The first side is a pleasant ballad capably sung by Michael D ·o uglas . "Bus" is a free-adver tising novelty well done by Lucy Ann Polk and the whole gang. These same two tunes are done by Lombardo, Monroe and Tuck er, so take your pick. WOODY HERMAN "The Good Earth" "Surrender" "Earth" is a Neil Hefti original made to order fo-r this band. The trumpet section does some terrific ensemble work on this. All in all, ut's a torrid instrumental with drive fr.om start to finish. Reverse side has one of the newer ballads that is sure to make the hit class. Woody is a versatile and accomplished musician bUJt he tends to over sing ballads of this type. PERRY COMO "More Than You Know" "Surrender" Como has been making consistently good pla:tters lately and you can add this one to the lis,t. " Know " is the type of tune that Como specializes in. It's being revived, and ,this recording is about the best of the new versions. "Surrender", by the writers of "Oh What It Seemed To Be", should be just as big a hit. SPORTS BASEBALL ROUNDUP The 1946 Bucknell Junior College baseball team had a successful season, wuth a record of four wins and three losses. The ,t eam scored two victories over Wyo• ming Seminary, one over Keystone Junior College, one over Luzerne High School, and lost to Scranton Universi·t y twice, and to Wyoming Seminary once. The season was marked by the Slteady hitting of third-baseman Marty Warmus and catcher Tommy Wahl, the slugging of outfielderpitcher Joe Baltrushus and firstbaseman Al Darte, and the fine pitching of Al Valunas. The Bisons opened the season by defea•t ing Luzerne High, 13 -3, with a powerful hitting attack. Marty Warmus led the way at the plate with ,t hree-forfour. Al Valunas struck out six Luzerne batters in the five innings he pitched . He was relieved by Joe Elick, who held the Luze rne club hi·tless for the last two innings. Bucknell's next game resulted in a 5-2 victory over Seminary. Joe Bahrushus wa s the victor. He allowed only five hits, and fanned •t welve Seminary batters. In the team's third game, the powerful hitting of ,t h Scranton Tommies was too much to overcome, and the Scranton team won, 13-6. Bucknell lost to Wyoming Seminary when •t he Bisons' threerun uprising in ·t h e last inning was cut short. The final score was 6-4. In the fif.th game, Bucknell lost again to the Scranton Tommies, this time by an 8-3 count Excel•l ent fielding by the Scranton team prevented the locals from scoring on several occasions. T,he boys now found their stride and pounded out a 12-13 decision over K eys,tone Junior College. Al Da l"te socked -t wo doubles, Al Valunas had a perfect day, with three singles, and Marty Warm us created a sensation by hitting a triple and then stealing home. George Russ pitched a fine game, allowing the Keystone batters only four hits. The Bisons closed the season by trouncing Wyomin.g Seminary, 12-4. All Bucknell batters joined in the hititing, with Warmus, Wahl, and shortstop Jack Reese smacking doubles. Valunas again excelled on the mound, tossing a ,t hree-hitter. Members of the squad not mentioned above were infielders Jerry Munzing and Al Morse, ca,tcher Tommy Moran, and outfielders Jack Kloeber, Ray Rovinski, and Garfield Davis.

If the vote taken at the last meeting of the Student Council is considered final, Bucknell University Junior College will not be represented on ,t he gridiron this fall. At the recent meeting of the representatives of the student body, four out of the five present v.oted against the inauguration of football at this institution. A statement made by several members of the Student Council following their meeting indicated that -they were all in favor of starting a football ,t eam at this institution, but because of many obstacles that were in -the way, it was impossible. Next came the statement, that ·t he members of ,t he local student governing body are in favor of football, but not until next year. The reason offered by one member for this was the fact that they didn't wan,t t o s·tart a team until they could have a good one. This is all well and good, but ,t he fact remains -that no matter when a college decides to s·t art a sport it must expect -to spend the first year · ironing out the kinks that are bound to turn up. This writer consulted various students at random and while several of -the fellows didn't care one way or another, the majority of those consulted were in favor of a football team this fall. Many of those questioned were surprised to find out ,t hat a vote had been taken on the question, and more surprised to find out that it had been defeated. Their one complaint was ,t he fact that they didn't know the members of the Student Council and, therefore, couldn' t express their views when matters such as the present question came up. The situation -that exists at the present time in Wyoming Valley has never offered greater opportunities for the building of a junior collegiate schedule. We hav.e Wvomimz Seminarv makiniz freshman tea-m as well as a varsity. These are only a few of the colleges that will have a team ,t his fall and who would be available if Bucknell Junior College should start the grid spor,t. The matter of a playing field was brough,t up. This could be a major problem, but for the fact that we are going to nm into that same problem next year or the year after, so why not get it over with now. There is no reason why we couldn't arrange to rent ,t he Kingston Stadium on Saturday nights and charge admissions to the games. There are many sports fans in ,t he Valley who would attend these contes·t s. If the expense is too high for the successful operation of this plan, we might arrange all the games away. While this may not sound like a first-rate plan now, it is certainly much better than watching the season open and find ourselves without anything in the football world. As a final suggestion, here is one plan for determining whether or not the students wan-t football this fall. This plan would settle the issue for once and for all. When the next assembly is held, hand out slips of paper with ,t wo questions printed upon them. The first qu=tion should be concerned with whether or not the student wants football this fall. The second question, if iit be considered necessary, should find out just how many would come out for the team. If something is to be done about this ma-tter, it had better be done in a hurry. There is very little time remaining. If football is to be one of the major sports in Bucknell Junior College this fall, orders must be placed for equipment, a coach obtained, and a permit for Kirby Park or other suitable field must be issued before a practice schedule can be made up. �Here are the long-awaited records made by the much talked of futuristic band of Raeburn. All four tunes were written and arranged by George Handy, the arranger who is responsible for much of ,t he better music this band is playing. "Yerxa" features some excellent sax work. Ginnie Powell does a capable job on "Rip" and Dave Allyn displays plenty of vocal talent with his rendition of "Forgetful". These records are proof of Handy's brilliance. GENE KRUPA "We'll Gather Lilacs" "Gimme A Little Kiss" "Lilacs" is a .beautiful song from England splendidly sung by Buddy Stewart wiith Ventura's sax weaving in and out effectively. "Kiss" is a novelty mostly vocal, featuring Buddy and Carolyn Grey: This band with a rep as a swing outfit is putting out some beautiful versions of sweet .t unes. TEX BENEKE "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" "I'm Heading For California" "It Couldn't Be True" "One More Tomorrow" These four sides were the first records made by the new Miller Band, under Beneke. Tex and thhe Crew Chiefs vocalize on "Californa" and "True", and a newcomer, Art Malvin, does a good job on "Tomorrow". "Swing Low" was arranged by Bill Finnegan who scored for the original Mrller band. HARRY JAMES "Do You Love Me?"

USE WOODLAWN-GLENDALE DAIRY PROiDUCTS �Thursday, July 18, 1946 BUCKNELL BEACON What happens on the Botany field trips? Why don't more students attend the social affairs?

I drew ~yse,~f up to my full height and said, Yes, Boss I'll do my best". I walked out ~f the office with a feeling of determination. I was sure that I would be able ,t o get all the news there was to be had at B. U. J. C. and to really get "On the Beam". My first job was to find out all ,t he love affairs on the campus. I star>ted with t~e Fr~shman class. What a d1sappomt· ment! The Freshman class consisted of over three hundred males and only three females. That made a little over one hundred fellows for each girl. I could see the possibility of only three romances in the whole lower Freshman class. What was worse, when I interviewed the girls they all refused ,to talk. Wha,t was I to do? I decided to try the other classes. lm~ariably, when I found someth~ng that looked like an interesting romance, the couple turned out ,t o be married. Of course, once they are married they are no longer good material for a gossip sheet, ,that is, not unless they are considering parting from each other. Those couples who weren',t married told me their romance was "old stuff" around the school and would no longer be interesting news. I was getting desperate, what could I use for news? I decided •t o see if I could get the opinions of the students on certain topics of current interest. I asked, "What do you think of going to school in summer?" An engineering student told me he 'thought it was· fine, but it would be much better ~ they moved ,t he ~ - t f s 'on's'' at _!-iarvey's Ann Bradshaw had an awful look on her face when she drank the swami's biological broth at the Truth and Consequence Show.

No offense! Miss Gittens, that lady of the book store, has proved to be a consistent source of musical en•t ertainment with her noon-time reception room concer>ts. The Goeringer Construction Company has proved to be an inspiration -t o the future engineers, but just an interruption to the lecrure-course students.

You may be a Civil Engineer, a Mechanical Engineer, a Chemical Engineer, an Electrical Engineer, or an Aeronautical Engineer. During the year tours are made to different plants and factories The purpose of drama is to give each student an opportunity to display his talent in some particular phase of the drama. All potential actors and actresses are needed, but there rs ample work for anyone interested in such activitise as sewing, carpentry, lighting, maice-up, painting, designing, properties, costuming, etc. Each play must go through the intricate business of preparation, and the man behind the scenes is just as necessary to the theatre as the man on the stage. All studen·ts who are interested in drama can show their interest by registering at the theatre and ,t hen coming to try-outs.

The show to be produced is to be an original one based on a familiar theme. Last semester work on the dances and musical portion of the production was 'begun. In a comparatively short time there will be a call •for soloists, chorus, stage crew, musicians, dancers, and other participants. When the call is jssued be sure to join the cast and enjoy the rehearsals and . parties that are being placrined. This extravaganza is .being planned and developed on a large scale, 'and on ly with student cooperation can it become the overwhelming success that it shows the promise of becoming. No professional experience is neededonly a willingness to rehearse. The musical score is about one half completed, and the book is being written at this time. Twenty dancers have already begun rehea-r sals of four of the dances. Anyone interested especi,ill_y in the prodction end o~ s·uch a venture should immediately get in contact with the writers: Miss Sangiuliano, book; Reese Pelton, music; John Martin, lyric-s. Bucknelf University has already :Produced , several musical shows which were tremendous successes. Tli s will,,' however, be the fir st attel\'lpt of its kind ·at BUJC. In addition to the local production staff m~ny outsiders interested in the n;nture have enthusiastically volmteered their assistance, so let'~ al do our ,best to produce successfilly Bucknell's first original musi1al .by joining the cast when the cd is issued.

The group, chaperoned by Mi•s s Gittens, Dr. Reif, and Mr . Donnelly, assembled at Chase Hall ,b efore departing for its destination. As usual, they were late in getting started. While one detail was starti,ng a fire in the outdoor oven, another carried the soda to a nearby creek and immersed it for cooling. Several fell-ows earned another merit badge by getting enough sticks with which to roast the weniers. Everyone was enjoying burnt hot dog samdwiches, soda, and potato chips wh en tragedy struck. Too many bottles had been taken out of a case, and it started floatin g downstream. Henry Anderson was the hero of the day. With complete disregard for life and limb he took off his shoes and stockings, rolled (continued Oiil page 2) al selections of songs and piano solos. The program was brought to a close with another skit by Anderson and Company entitled "A Date Wi th Harr y". This skit was a satire on the antics of bobby soxers and their dates.

Here at Bucknell he's taking a C & F course although, strangely enough, his favorite subjects are Spanish and English composition. His favorite . dislikes are history and co-educational schools. ( What's that again?) He likes collectiing ,b ooks, playing poker, and engaging in all sports, especially football. He can prove it by bruises received while playing on a service team against such rugged opponents as Penn State, Holy Cross, Army, and V. M. I. That dreamy look you sometimes see in his eyes is caused 1by thoughts of a certain red-.h ead in Florida. William J. Henry ("Doc" to you) is another G. A. R. graduate. After his two years on New Guinea as a Navy fire-controlman , he enrolled at i}ucknell, where he's taking a course in Education. Bill thinks that Bucknell is a fine school, in s pite of term papers, which he dislikes heartily. (Isn't that strange?) On the "likes" side of the ledger he lists Einglish composition and philosophy. He admires women who have red hair and a good figure. This, ,h e says, he really goes for. Bill spends most of his spare time swimming or strengthening his hold on the dart-throwing championship a f Vic's, on Hazle street. His chief regret at the present time is Dr. Nicholson's departure. Bill says he misses those "succinct expressions" and that "lock, st_ock, amd 'b arrel" aproach. Directly under that sharp-looking crew-cut you'll find Nick Konchuba, formerly vice-president of Plains High School's senior class, and now a C & F student at B'UJC. He studied for one year at the U n iv er sity of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Fiinance, and expects to return there eventually to further his studies toward becoming a certified public accountant. His studies there were interrupted by his entrance into the Air Corps, where he served as a V. H. F. Controller (radio communication from ground t opilot). Nick likes a ll sports (he thinks Bucknell very defiinitely should have a football team) , ping-pong, reading, and blondes. (The above items are not listed according to their import·ance>', He ,believes that too many people neglect the niceties of life which, he said, are more important than they seem. John Milano came to us from Meyers High. He said he majored in social activities there, but it's easy to see he's all lbusiiness here with his B. A. course. John hopes to enroll eventually at one of the many fine schools in the Chicago area. His favorite su-b jects are political science and biology. He likes to swim and says that he likes girls who are intelligent and considerate, but that he can forget both those qualities if they're shapely. John spent some time flying missions as a ball turret gunner with the 8th Air Force in England. He thought the English girls were "nice, but a bit forward". (Is that bad?) One of the newer faces around school is that of Doris Gorka. She's a lower freshman and hails from Nanticoke. Doris is the secretarytreasurer of her class. She is taking a pre-med course here and wili soon be enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania, where she will study to lb ecome a surgeon. Doris lists !biology and music as her favorite subjects, and math as her chief dislike. She likes almost everything a:bout BUJC, but she t hinks there could be a little more school spirit. Her favorite pastimes are, riding, writing music, and attendiing movies. Doris s~ys that on a Friday night she can be found at the movie that features western pictures, and that if it happens to be one starring "Sunset" Carson, so much the better. Dorothy Raub is a future lab technician from North End. She's taking a B. S. in the chemistry course, after which she'll spend a one-year internship at the General Hospital. Dorothy thinks school is fine except for that old bugaboothe term paper. Her likes include German, Botany, and Chemistry. She likes to spend her spare time eating spaghettin and meat balls, swimming or listen1ng to classical music or the Vaughn Monroe Variety hour. Dorothy also keeps busy through her membership in the Pre-Med club. She believes that the chief fault with our school is that there isn't enough social activity. As for men-she likes them tall, blonde, and smooth on the dance floor. · DON'T FORGET INC. * General Insurance * Miners Nat'l Bank Bldg. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS DEEMER & CO.

In the same survey it was discovered that 275 colleges will fiind it necessary to reject students; 190 more are undecided at this time.

Like the majority of affairs sponsored by this institution in the past, the picnic was marked · down in the books as a complete washout, because of the small crowd and the wet reception given to all by Jupiter Pluvius. The rain probably had as dampening an effect on everyone's spirit as did the information that the street-car tickets given out beforehand were good only within the city-limits . Fortunately, a few individuals braved the elements and during tLe downpour were entertained by the antics of Johnny Scheutz Ney's German Banc!. When ever there was a let up in the rain a rush was made to the various amuseemmts in order to get some entertainment from an otherwise dull day. In the evening, less than half of the original number that attended went to the dance where they listened to the soothing refrains of Brunon Kryger's 0 .r chf,stra. One d the highspots of the chy was the antics of several of the students who brought cars to the picnic.

The proposed dormitory will be the second one to be established. The first one being Weckesser Hall on Northampton Street. Approximately twenty students w ill be accomodated by the n,e w building. Innumerable applicatf&rrs. have already ,l.:een received. ', The addition of the new dormitory will bring the total n'umber of dormitory students to nearly fifty. At the present time the proposed dormitory is undergoiing a1terations, but by the time that th~ fall semester arrives the BUJC c~inpus should be enlarged by the addition of the new dorm. SPORT DANCE IS SUCCESSFUL On Friday, August 23rd, BUJ C ,held a successful sport dance despite ditflculties. Originally scheduled to take place at St. Stephen's Parish House, the dance was finally held at the First Presbyterian Church House. Another difficulty which "stumped" the committees was the last minute failure of the broadcastiing system . However, a new one was rented and other problems were also settled satisfactorily. Music for dancing was supplied by the·. Stardusters. The orchestra consisted of Charles Gittins, Reese Pelton, Max Wilson, John Redding, Wally Jones, Bill Nelson, Doug McNeal, and Allan Forrest. After the soumd system was repaired vocals were presented by Shirley Higgins. During the evening Al Dervinis awarded a prize to Jane Korper for winning the "Balloonathon" contest in which suspended balloons were cut loose durimg dancing. After intermission Dr. Reif gave a brief pep talk and led cheering. Refreshments, including root beer on tap, were served throughout the evening. The affair was among the more successful ones held this semester. Listen To- BUJC RADIO TEAM *** MUSICIANS!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The following letters have been received by the staff during the last month. All opinions expressed are mot necessarily those of the editor or staff, but we believe that a healthful "airing" of student opinions is one way to develop democratic tendencies. The letters are not the result of assignments. On the contrary they have been written voluntarily. If you have an opiniom which is worthy of consideration, write it down and leave it in the BEAiCON office. It will be pu.blished in subsequent editions. * Mr. Editor: "We the students of Bucknell University Junior College . . . " so starts the constitution which governs the student body. 0111 closer examination, one finds that it is the students with the consent of the faculty . Instead of having such a broad and general statement, the co nstitution should state particular categories of activities and their limits, with an elastic clause to take care of special cases. The student council is more a means of misrepresentation than representation. The elections to that body are a farce . The new class is in school no more than severa! weeks when it is asked to vote for its student officers. This is all well ood good but the students are not sufficiently acquainted to determine whether a wise selection is being made. Instead of voting by ballot, hands are counted; as a result, one votes with the crowd rather than for himself. · Another constitutional provision is that if a mem'ber of the student council misses two consecutive meetings he is automatically dropped from that body. On paper it looks good, but in actual practice it is not enforced. Some students attend one or two meetings in an entire ·semester while in other insta.nces the office is held open for someone until he or she returns at a later semester. The meetiI)gS usulally wind up with expressions of personal attitudes and not those of the stu.d ents as a whole; in other words, the student council represents the student council aJJd not the student body. "With the school contemplating a four year course, now is the time to make the necessary changes in order to profit from past experiences." To the Editor: "I propose that the student body hold a meeting for the purpose of reorganizing the constitution of the .Student Council. I am not familiar with the rules and regulations governing the activities of Buckueil Junior College students, but from all indications th·.? document was drawn up durimg the recent war.

( continued Otll page 2) ** CANDIDATES TO "WORK-OUT" ON MONDAY · The announcement made in the assembly program last week that George F. Ralst()(Il, former University of North Carolina gridder, will. coach the first football team in the, history of Bucknell University Junior College, was the climax to several months debate and discussion in regard to the representation of this institution on the gridiron this fall. When the idea was first presooted to the school governing body a definite plan could not be made out as there were many things that seemed, at that time, like major obstacles im the way of bringing the grid sport to this institution. Dr. Eugene A. Farley, director, started to work immediately on the proposal. The m a j or problem of obtaining a coach that would fit ' into the physical education program here and the question of whether or mot there was a field"tli.alcZ'ild be used by this school for both practice and the actual playing of the games were the big obstacles in the way of football at the start of the campaign. The coaching problem was solved when George Ralston was signed for the position and shortly afterward word was received fro m Kingston High School that its field could be used on week-ends whein the West Side institution was playing away. As far ns a practice field was concerned, city officials gave Bucknell the right to use both the main field in KiI1by Park, as well as the shower room, for its drills. Because of the fine work of several of the students and members of the faculty, the problem of equipment, which has been a worry to , most schools sponsori111g football this year, was solved. According to Ralston, there are enough uniforms at present to equip twenty-five men and more uniforms can be obtained if the need arises. The first call for grid candidates was issued by the new coach last week at a meeting of the male student body in Chase Theater. Approximately f:orty men signed for the sport and it is expected the first practice session will take place soon. The following men have signed for the team: Edwin Kosik, Richard Plummer, Paul Callahan, Robert Pittman, William Kauffman, Alfred Keay, Marvin Walter, Henry Anderson, Douglas MacNeal, Albert Morse, George Hudock, Johm Hudzik, Robert Dido, Francis Gawat, Gerald Munz.ing, Patrick iPierelli, Frederick Johnson, James Davis, Shelden Morrison, William Phillips, John Biscuit, Mostyn Saye, Carl Gibson, William Jonathan, Thomas Douglas, Casimir Kopko, Tom Moran, Reese Pelton, John Scott, Harold Teich, Russell Wolff, Austin Bisbing, Joseph Brazauskus, George Russ, Martin Warmus, Bill Johns and Al Joneikis. Other names are constantly being added to this list of candidates.

Donnelly FOOTBALL SEASON The advent of football to Bucknell is a milestone in the history of this institution's progressive program. As all classes of students are in some way in. terested in such a sport is should prove to be one of the major factors in developing greater school spirit. Participation, pep-rallies, and the colorful pageantry that characterizes this sport, can jmake the football season one r0f the outstanding periods of the school year. This is, indeed, a bright picture-yet, it has another side. Without ~tudent backing, this backbone of BUJC's sport program can be a dismal failure. There is no reason why such a ;gloomy atmos11here should pervade. With the whole-hearted cooperation ~f every student at Bucknell the football season will be an overwhelming success. STUDENT PARKING "Why can't students park along River Street without worrying about traffic tickets?" How often one hears this question! There is apparently no reason why students who drive to college, many from quite a distance, cannot park across the street from their destination without an eternal dread of receiving "tickets". Nevertheless it's the law! Of course many of the receivers of these violation notices have them "fixed". But this is only another reason why the regulation should be done away with. If it is not enforced it certainly is nothing but a nuisance to all concerned. At any rate the law certainly isn't pro bono publico. However, there is probably a solution to this problem. If a committee of drivers .visits City Hall and presents their grievance it will undoubtedly be investigated. An investigation might well lead to the removal of restrictions in regard to college students. The point is-something can be done about this unfair parking restriction if the drivers unite and move to action. Only as a united group will anything be accomplished. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ( continued from page 1) When I first came to Bucknell, I thought they had a smoot}l running, efficient, and active organization to run the affairs of the students. However, I soon charnged my mind after I had attended several social activities on Friday nights. It was a simple problem of no organization and no cooperation. A few people on the council were always responsible for the preparations instead · of committees working in cooperation with a general chairman. · If it were possible to get a twothirds majprity I believe that we, the student body of Bucknell Junior College, could make a thorough study of the old constitution. We coold make a few small but very important amendments in order to allow a student council a fair chance in runnilng activities; If we are not satisfied, there should be a way for students to place new off. icers in this all-important organization. · Mr. Editor: Our camp.us newspaper, THE BEACON, pubHshed an article in the July issue which indicated one writer's one-sided thoughts on the qvestion of whether or not Bucknell should hav,e a football team. His writing was lilberally filled with school spirit and a reporter's criticism of the Student Council. I like the interest that has finally been aroused in the ·student's administrative group, but the person who reports on Council activities should strive to report autherntic and accurate details. He helps no one when he does otherwise. His sample of erroneous reporting also appeared in the Sunday Independent. The two papers could be forced to retract the statements made in those articles, for they are untruths seasoned with a minimum spr1nkling of truth. In one instance the Council is reported to have voted to reject the proposal of a footibal! team. This statement elaborated an informal discussion prior to a meeting between five Council memibers into a full-'Scale official action of the Council. To date the Council has never voted for or against a football team. Several lesser items are noteworthy only in their revelation of a need for more scrupulous editing of our newspaper. · Reporters ·may always secure authentic reports • directly from Council memlbers without reporting items of hearsay. My dear Editor: The Student Courncil of the college was elected to present the views of the student body to the director. They are the duly elected representatives of the student body and as such have very definite responsibilities toward their fellow students. Their responsilbilities are no less important than those of Congressmen or Senators who are elected to represent the people. Why, then, don't the members of the Student Council contact and obtain the views of their fellow students before they make a decision on a problem and make that decision known to the director. Judging from the controversy raging at the present time over the institution of a football team, they present only their own personal views. Many members of the student body were totally unaware that the question was under discussion. This · is an indication that something or . other is lacking. Either the ,Student Council failed to publicize the question or they took it for granted that they knew what was best for the college. If the latter is true, it is time for a reorganization. Maybe the members of the Council hold office too long, and think that they know from experience what is best for the college. That is a bad sign, when a few thi1nk they know what is best for a few hundred. The Student ·Council will do well to get around and consult the members of their respective classes before making any important decisions. * ** Mr. Editor: I am not in favor of everything the Student ,council does, but I wornder if all the people who argue about improving school spirit and activities are . rea)ly .sincere. Do they support school activities now? Undoubtedly some of these people are sincere, but as for others-I wonder. Until lately I didn't support activities, but since I have I have noticed conspicious absences of certain individuals. I have another "borne of dissention". I think that a well-organized student council in conjunction with a Director of Activities could work out a top-notch activities schedule. More cooperation from some faculty members would also help out considerably. If this school doesn't pull out of its social slump soon it never will. As a,n engineer I also advocate more participation in Friday night activities from engineers. *** Mr. Editor: I read in the last issue a retraction of a statement published in a former issue concerning football and voting by the Student Courncil concerning its . inauguration. It takes an honest man to retract such questionaible statements. Yet, at a subsequent assembly such emphasis was placed by the speakers on this question that I began to wonder if retraetions mean anything. ls the council sure of what it is doning and is there a "Tammany" political machine behind the council that they are afraid of? I was in favor of 1naugurating football at this college, but the way it was "pushed through" at that assembly where ·a "vote of confidence." was given after a political speech was not the correct method of putting it ,before the stu.dents. I am not familiar with the council situation, but it seems as if some force behind the council, with political powers, is really running the student affairs. *** Dear Editor: The fact that most studernts do not know their representatives on the student council, and knpw even less aibout the functions of the council has always irritated me profoundly. At the beginning ' of each semester there is brief talk of the electi001t_ ofh·a sbtud_en~ counfcil and tEhen, un 11 t e . egmmng o the N XT semester, ' the two words are never again mentioned. I have never seen an actual election because I have never ·known just where or how it. ta:kes place, but fellow..students··have ',ass11red .me that·'. there 0 Friday, September 6, 1946 IS one. I picked up the last issue of the BEkOON, and discovered that the student council had voted against a footiball team; further down the column I also noticed that I had been well represented in the electino. How could that be true? I didn't know who was representing me, and I hadrn't even known that a football team had been considered. Thinking that perhaps I had been asleep when I supposedly told m·y representative that I was not in favor of a football team, I inquired about the situation from every student who would listen to me. Most of them just gave me a blank stare and asked what a student council was; the others said that they also would like to know. My recommendation is that we ,be told who is representing the students if we must have representatives, but we should make our own decisions on big questions such as ,t he footJbal! team.

No sooner had Wil'liam's earthly remains ceased their lifelong struggle than William realized a white robed angel with shining wings was at his side. "Let us not tarry, William. We must be about ,o ur journey. There are several stops which may interest you. Come along now." So William and his celestial guide begam the ascent which gradual'ly took them into the starry heavens, Hardly had they started, however, before the angel indicated that· William should looke at the home he was leaving behind. Already William's descendants were scurrying a!bout and the news of William's departure had been communicated to the neighborhood. "This is the view your wife most enjoyed. We stayed 'h ere for a long time while your wife wept copiously as she watched the busy scene below." William was unimpressed. They continued upward. When the Earth seemed to be slightly out of focus, the angel halted and with a gesture informed William how from that vantage the artists thought one had the optimum view. "The painters say the composition is best. The contrasts have been softened but are yet distinct. The surrealists become· quite ecstatic when the moOIIl is visible slightly to the left of the Earth." Winiam gave no answer. The 1 CRAFTSMEN ENG-RAVERS * pair proceeded on their way. Soon however, William's escort turned his radiant visage eartlhward and said, "The philosophers hold this aspect of the planet is most complete. They enjoy th~ perS!!)ective." William looked at the FJarth thoughtfully and appeared to be about to speak. He kept his thought, nevertheless, and the journey was resumed in silence. At several more places the aingel commented on the scene.Each time William was told that it was there the business men were most impressed, or that another was favored by the medical men, and so on concerning bankers, lawyers, farmers, politicians, and · many others. When the Earth was seen as a mere s·peck of light mi the sky and the sun appeared no brighter than a candle at ten paces and Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars could also be discerned on their eternal rounds, the angel stopped and faced toward the Earth. William who had spoken scarcely a word all the while, turned too, expecti,ng some comment from the angel. But no comment came. William looked at the Earth. For a moment his face was expressionless. However, as he continued to gaze upon the distant pfanet, the corners of his mouth curled. His eyes began to twinkle and a bright smile appeared upon hi:s face. William began to laugh. He laughed u111til the tears trickled down his cheeks and his sides ached. - Each time that ,W illiam looked at he Earth new convulsions of mirth shook him until he stopped to gasp, hardly knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If such a drastic change did materialize, the days of compulsory attendance would be over. Students would flock to the assemblies, would think much more of the school's administration, and would discover their education becoming more rounded and complete. An Assembly program of this nature would be expe111sive, ibut it would provide entertainment and instruction which all students could enjoy. The age ration varies at Bucknell so greatly that is is quite difficult to find extra-curricular entertainment suitable to everyone; thus the student activities fee partially spent in such a way would give each student a great amount of direct pleasure. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) Let's keep the sport clean. *** Dear Editor The Student Council has long been looking for the ty,pe of entertainment that all students will enjoy. They have promoted dainces, cabaret parties, and outings of various kinds; but up to this time, only a minority of the student body has participated. The council may never find the ideal solution to this problem, but the student assemblies may be on solution to this situation. The Bucknell assembly should not be the bi-monthly activity so many people look forward to with relative disgust and contempt. The students should also not come merely because of the pressure exerted upon them by the office and college administration. The assembly could, and should, be a weekly activity that all students desire to attend.

This tour was the second broadcast of the team this semester. The first program was presented over WiBRE in July. The Radio Team was organized last summer by the joint action of Dr. Farley and Dr. Nicholson, who was, at the time, Professor of History. During this summer the Radio Team has been rather iinactice, as have many other organizations; but with the advent of the fall semester a new schedule of tours is being considered. Among the other stations on which various teams have appeared are: WBRE and WBAX, .WilkesBarre; WARM, Scranton; WEST, Easton; WGAL, Lancaster; WR.AK Williamsport; .WHP, Harrisburg; aind several others. Members of the team which made the latest tour included Robert J. Miller, Reese .Pelton, .Alphonse Dervinis, ·and Robert C. Sakoski.

NEW RELEASE FEATURE - WEARABLES Page 3 - PRE-GAME PEP To accomodate the increasing number of students entering for the fall semester Dr. Fraley has announced that Bucknell Junior College is adding a num!ber of buildings to its campus. A new cafeteria is under construction in the rear of Chase Hall. The first floor of the cafeteria will be covered with knotty pine, the second floor with sanded plaster. Both first a1?d second. floors :"ill ·b e covered with dark tile floormg . ' The new cafeteria will seat one hunderd and twenty people and will be a g1:'e.a~ improvement over present fac1ht1e~.

The fall semester will mark the a~vent of_ a men'~ dormitory, which w1_ll be situated m the second and th1rd floors of ~he old Payne home at 158 South River street. The dormitory, for w~ich_ there ?ave been scores of apphcat10ns, will accommoda.te _20 men. On the 2nd floor there will also be a fa culty apartment.

The first floor of 191 South Frankli,n street will be used as the Conservatory of Music. The Presbyterian Church House will again be employed. In lhe future, however, the entire top floor will 1be converted into classrooms. The buildings that are being altered, some of which are actually being rebuilt, will be completed before the fall term begins. . The new BiUJC grid team, under the direction of George F.; Ralston, will get its first chance to perform on October 12, when ScrantonKeystone will play host to this institution's eleven. The Scranton-Keystone contest will be the fir st of a six-game schedule, which includes four games away and two at home. Following the initial contest, this institution will jour.ney !o Lewisburg on Octoher 19 for a game with Bucknell University Jayvees. October 26 will bring tlhe Ralstonmen home for the fi r st contest to be held on a Saturday afternoon in the Kin g ston Sta dium with Pittston Vocation a l School as the opponent. The gam e that well might t ur,n out t o be a trad itional contest will be pla yed Friday evening, November 1st, in the Kingston Stadium, when King's College invades. Kin g 's eleven, under the direction of Tom Brock, former Notre Dame gridder, is expected to hav·e a strong aggregation a,nd will strive to add this institution to its win column. Dickinson Seminary in William s.p ort will play host to this institution's squad on November 16, and the following week will find Bucknell JC at Wyoming Seminary for a Saturday afternoon contest. The Seminary contest wili, undoubtedly, be one of the toughest contests of the season. Seminary has a team made up of many ex-scholastic performers who excelled in the grid game while in high school.

Although not appearing too optimistic, Ralston stated that he feels quite sure that this school will give a good account of itself when the season opens. The one weak point that has the coach slightly worried is the fact that tackles and guards are as scarce as a present-day steak in the local butcher shop . Backfieldmen are plentiful and most of them have had excellent grid records. Ralston is going to have quite a time deciding just which men are going to hold down the fir st -string positions. l, NEW FACULTY ADDITIONS For the fall 1::emes cer Buckndl l:niversity Junivr Cvilege has announced an iincrease . of student enrollment and an increase in the faculty to handle the large number of new students. In order to appre-• ciate the addition in student enrollment it is interesting to note, stati-• stically, the growth of the school. In 1933, when Bucknell University Juni or College was founded, the total enrollment for the year was 193 students. By 1939, through steady progress , enrollment had increased to 416 students , a gain of over one hundred percent. There was a slight drop in enrollment during the war years. Now, since the conclusion of the war, many men have taken advantage of military service privileges which allow .them to enter college. This fact is evident in the large enrollment at the present. There were 415 students on the campus during the spring semester. This summer there were 439 students. This fall shows a vast increase; the number of students enrolled is 1-009; an impressive total when compared with 193 students in 1933 ,o r 439 students this summer. Mainy new professors have been added to the faculty to accommodate the new students. They are: Miss Clare Bedillion, Ecoomics, M. . .

"No engineers allowed", "Women welcome at men's smoker", "Alex Miskelmusher is going to take Polish", "Smoe will report to the Vet's office"-such are the notations which seem to be added to notices almost as fast as they are tacked on the bulletin board. Certainly we all appreciate humor, but is a public bulletin board the proper place to publish the latest jokes and slang expressions? Obviously, no! As the veterans so well know, no one ever scribbled on the Army bulletins. Our boards ate in plain view of all visitors to the campus. Remember-everyone doesn't appreciate Kilroy! Let's eliminate all such "witticisms" from the bulletin boards. "STEP ON THE GAS!" The summer term has virtually ended and the regular school year is about to begin. BUJC will find itself with a student body that has doubled in numbers. Therefore, the potentiali,ties of the college are going to be doubled. This means that there is a golden opportunity to build the type of school spirit which everyone agrees is lacking. With the addjtion of football, the reorganization of inactive clubs, and the general agitation which has been aroused, BUJC has a chance to regain the spirit which it had not too long ago. Surely the students of today are as much interested in establishing ,a real school life at Bucknell as were former students. We are started on the road to a real school tradition. Let's step on the gas and arrive at our destination successfully! FINALASSEMBLYHELD LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mr. Charles Copp, who taught school in Japan for twenty-one years, and wh-0 was interned there as a ,p risoner for two years, was the speaker at the assembly program on Monday, September 9th.· In relating his interesting experiences he expressed his views on what actions we must take to rehabilitate Japan. At the same time Mr. Copp made constant reference to his fear of Russia and the probability of another war. 'I'his presumption was the cause of much pro and con discussion among the student 'body during the past week. (See the Roving Reporter column). To the Editor: Bucknell Students should be ashamed of the article ·concerning giviing a seat to a lady in a trolley, which appeared in the last issue of the B"E'A,OON. The persons giving the answers may have thought it was smart to answer as they did, but they should keep in mind that many people in the Valley, other than Bucknell students, have , access to the BEAOON. There is no reason why a physically fit gentleman should not give his seat to any woman, at any ,t ime, under any time, under any circumstances.

We had such spirit when we were drafted, and there is no reason why we can't continue. Although we are vets and are interested i,n making good scholastically, we are not going to be "social corpses". We'll also install spirit among those who are now "dead".

"I'm a peace-loving man, ,b ut 1 think we should beat up Russia and England first and then dictate our own peace terms. P. S. I'll be in the Home Guard this time." Bill Tomusko, A. B., Brookside. "I believe in a One World Policy; there should be no war whatsoever with Russia, but if the pessimists and agitators in this co\lll1try want war; then leave them fight it. Neither Russia nor the U. S. has anything to gain through another war. ·w e must strive for greater cooperation, education, and mutual understanding amongst all nations. We should clean up our own front yard before attempting to dominate the world. If democracy is so pure and great, why should we fear communistic rule? If democracy is the best type of government, ~h~~ re st of th e world will accept 1t m place of communism." A. F. Roan, C & F, Forty Fort. "Unless Russia follows the Dumb arton Oaks Peace proposal plans, a greater amount of friction may come between Russia, Great Britain, and the U. S. This may mean war-we shall know within three years." Harry Fierverker, C&F, WilkesBarre. "Any war is possible but many are not probable. War with Russia in the near future is very improbaible. Take the example of a small dog ibarkiing at a man. If the dog tried to bite the man he would soon get a "swift kick" and the dog would lie down. Russia is now barking but also knows 'if any bite is attempted America would not hesitate to give a "swift kick" with the atom rbomb. Many war mongers are predicting conflict between these two countries within a few months but I am willing to wager 2 to 1 odds that there will be no war between U. S. and Russia in the next year. Anyone willing to accept this wager may contact me in Chase Hall any time during the semester." Ralph Edwards, B. S., Edwardsville. "I see no reason why we should have war. Russia is getting more democratic and we are getti;ng more socialistic. Thus, with similar governments, we ought to get along." Thomas R. Jenkins, B: S., Plymouth . "Unless both the United States and Russia forget their petty differences and work earnestly towards a true understanding, I believe that there is a great possibility of war between the two nations." Marvin Walter, B. A., Pittston. "A poor question. ·Of course war is possible with Russia, but it is not necessary. War is no solution to the problems besetting the world. A rb etter question would be to ask how we can have peace with Russia. Too many people approach our problems from a negative or defeatist viewpoint. When we went to war, we did not say, 'How will we beat Germany and Japan?' but we said, 'we WILL beat Germany and Japan." We should now say, 'we WILL have peace with Russia', and then fight for that peace by refusing to be swept into hysteria rby irresponsible editors and radio commentators.

John Martin MANY EX-GRIDDERS NOT OUT FOR TEAM According to an announcement made 'b y football coach, George F. Ralston, it is still .not too late to come for the football team. Many of the fellows now attending this institution have had former grid experience, but have made no effort to come out for the team. Fifty men answered the first call for grid candidates in the early part of September, and since that time many more have signed up. It is expected that after the fall semester opens many more will join the team. One of the rb ig problems of getting men out for the team is the scheduling of classes. Many students who would like to come out for football find it impossible because they have laboratory classes at the same time that practice is held. Let's see more former grid men at coming practices. that they can begin their bickering all over again. Yes, we can have war with Russia, but if we do, very few people will be left on either side to crow over the emptiness of victory."

"Sparky" Scranton Highway. SELECT SIX Skinnay Ennis, who is a newcomer to records, made a good choice when he recorded the double talk criovelty, "The lggedy Song". The tune gets off to a good start with the old .Shep Fields' bubble gag, complete with gargle. Following Skinnay's vocal, the band cuts loose with parodies on Lombardo and Kaye, and in the second chorus there's a beautiful bit of beer hall .p iano. "The Love of My Life" is done up strictly instrumental by the new Artie Shaw band. The u,nmistaka'ble ,Shaw clarinet is heard at .different times throughout the record, and in turn there are solos on trumpet, sax, and trombone. A few more records like this and Artie will be ·back in the groove again. The most beautiful recording on the market at the moment is the sensational version of "I Knew", put out by Tex Beneke band. Artie Malvin proves himself to be a top notch vocalist, and he gets good support from the Crew Chiefs. Notice the dash of "Moonlight Serenade" stuck in the arrangement. Fiddles have ,been cleverly added to the typical Miller ,b rass and reeds, and the result obtained makes for good listening. Jo Stafford's first attempt at recording jazz turnerl. out to be as much of a success as her lush ballads. Paul Weston assembled King Cole, Ray Linn, and other top musicians for the backing on "Cindy", and a torrid tempo is kept throughout the record. The way that Jo fits her vocal to the background is amazing. Frank .Sinatra added another bit to his long list of hit records when he recorded " From This Day Forward". The tune is exceptionally good, and Frank gives it his usual flawless rendition. A Sinatra recording can't be mentioned without making reference to Axel Stordahl whose backgrounds have become a trademark on Fraink's records. Woody Herman comes up with a Ralph Burns version of "Humoresque", which is now known as "Mabel, Ma.be!". Novelty vocals are right up Wood's alley, and he displays here the type of singing that has helped to make him famous. Compare Woody's vocal -to Johnny Turnhill's on the M'lntyre record of this same tune amd notice the difference. Lately, the instrumental work on Herman Herd's platters has been sensational, this record being in keeping with this policy. Visitor (To host's chauffeur)-It certainly took you a long time 't o find me. Didn't your master t ell you how to recognize me? Chauffeur-Yes sir, but there were several men with large stom·achs and red -n oses. DEEMER & CO. School and Office Supplies GIFTS AND STATIONERY 6 West Marekt St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

His parents made a bad mistake when they named his brother Caesar Eddy Howard, who just gu.e st-starred on the Supper Club, owes much of his successful comeback to his best selling record of "To -Each His Own". This record is doing for his post-war band what "Careless" did for his p::-ewar band .. .The success of a name band in this area means much more to the bookers than it does to the baind which pla·ys on a guarantee.

It is the st.orehouse ·:of'pot«;lntialities. These potentialities may be classed in 'two cat~gories. The first group of opportunities ar.e scholastic. You will find that college work is· much more intricate than that of the lower schools and will require much more concentration. However, the greate$t difference between college and secondary school Work· is iri the , amount of personal freedom you as an individual will l have. The initiative is yotirs alone. Your academic success will be proportional to the effort you put forward. The second group of opportunities of which I wish to speak can be c~Jled the extra-curricular group, although they are v~stly more important than the title implies. This grdup is very important as a supplement to the development of academic potentialities. As the college ad~inistratioh advises, each student should participat~ in at least one · activity~ Here at Bucknell we have a large selection of activ. ities to choose from. Thtm, too, there is a regular social activity schedule ·e~tablished each semester. Most of the events are held on Friday nights, and have been well received inl the past, if ·attendance ·is any criterion. You will f~nd that these social f m1c~ tions are varied and will aepeal to all students . .· In short, you have already been given access to a host of opportunities. Y~ur individual success \Vill depend on how you develop these -potentialities.

The above photos were taken at Kirby Park during a recent scrimmage of the Bucknell J-C's. * * * Joe Gallahan, president of the Student Council, has been doing an excellent job in the handling of pre-game arrangements. Joe has had more than his hands full iq an attempt to see that tickets and programs are printed, posters distributed, student passes printed and , issued to the members of the student body, and the buses chartered to take the students to the games, According to the president of the Student Council, athletic passes wil,l be is·sued, free of charge, to the memhers •)f the student body. These pas ~es wiJI be good for ali games, both hom•~ a..,d away, When the oa~ses a•e used at an opponent's 11-eld, it is _likely that the students of this institution will be required to use a special Bucknell gate. * * * Don't loose them, it'll cost you a dollar to have them replaced. * * * By the time the Bucknell-King's College game rolls around, both elevens are going to have a fair idea just what the other school has in the line of plays, equipment, and men. The reason for all this is simply ·that both schools practice w'ithin a hundred yards of each other. King's College, · under the direction of 'T om Broock, holds its nightly practice at the far end of Ki.11by, Park, while this institution's grid squad holds down the. upper end ·· of the field. King'.s has been having some trouble in the way of keeping all its men out for the team. Starting with abou t seventy-fi ve men, the other city college's squad has dwindled to about thirty candidates . Out of these thirty, however, a bou t twenty-fi ve have had former g rid exeprience and look pretty good in practice. * * * Then again, it only takes eleven men to make a squad, so the time for cheering isn't here yet. . * * * BEACONETTE'S .... When this institution's grid team meets Keystone College next Saturday, the Lackawanna County club will enter the battle with the experience of one game under its belt. Nevertheless, we still stick to our earlier prediction of 18 to 6 in favor of Bucknell . . . Kenny Young, who is slated to hold down one of the end positions in •Saturday's game, may be handicapped by a knee inju ry r eceived during practi ce . . . Dom Yenchu.nas, manager for th e fo otball tea m, is one of the main cogs in our local g r id machinery. Dom is t he only one left out of the t hree men who came out for that position of manager . . . According t o latest reports Ralston i., looking for two men who are interested in acti,ng as managers on the grid team . . . Wes Lane, member of the Student Coun cil, has applied for the positoin of linesman. His application was accepted by Ralston and from last reports, Lane will be the lad attached to the iron pole and chain. A t fir st he wanted to be head linesmaon, but wh en it was ex- plained that he couldn't very well hold down that position since it went to a PIAA official, he settled for the Jess important job of assisting the man in the striped shirt . .. Girard Washco, former gridman for Nanticoke in 1943, will be holding down one of the line positions for Bucknell's eleven this year . . . King's College will be counting on such former players as Ed Schappert, Bob Armstrong, Charlie Blockiberger, and Bill Kennedy to add strength to its first eleven. Armstrong and Block'!lerger sta·r red at Kingston several years ago, while Schappert and Kennedy represent St. Mary's . . . A recent contest between Wyoming Seminary and Scranto·n University "B" team saw Scrar,to·;; come out or, top with an lil to H win in the 1.: :0s:n g seconds of the last qua·rter. I\' ~:iher tea,~ displ a yed much in the line of top ,n otch football. The high spot of the game wa s an 85 yard run back of Scranton's kick-off in the second half by Bill Davis, former Coughlin ·gridster. Davis, Castle, Klein and Morgan are the spark plugs of the Sem team and will have to be watched. S eminary's line is made up of excellent material, but hasn't learned to click . . . Reports have it that Notre ·name freshman tea.m wil1 journey to Wilkes-Barre some time in the future to play King's College. That should be quite a contest and looks like only the ,beginning of many big names to come into this region to play -b oth Buck,nell and King's College. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JAY VEES, 7 - 6 JUNIOR COLLEGE GRID TEAM WINS FIRST TWO ·CONTESTS Coach Ralston's Bucknell Junior College eleven blasted its way into the ju.nior collegiate grid circles by downing the first two teams on its schedule. The local gridders made their debut by beating Keystone College 14 to O in the first contest and a week later traveled to Lewisburg where they handed a strong Bucknell University junior varsity club a 7 to 6 licking. In the first contest Buclmell displayed its skill on both the offensive and defensive, making Keystone's griddel's look rather helpless. The local footballers had little trouble blasting their way through the Keystone defenses and, when the up-state clu1b tightened the least· bit, the junior college gridders switched to a sparkling aerial attack that left the Lackawanna Club helpless. Aerials Down Keystone The first tally against Keystone came in the closing minutes of the first period when a pass from Jack Reese, quartethafk, on the Keystone 37, connected with Bobby Waters, former Forty Fort and Sem gridder, who scored from the 10 yard stripe. In the final quarter, Al Darte, on a reverse play, went around the Keystone right end for the second six-pointer. Ed Nattras kicked both extra points. A week later at Lewisburg, the local gridmen got off to a bad start when a penalty voided one touchdown and a second threat was halted on the junior varsity goal lillle. The junior · college trailed all through the contest as a result of a junior viarsity six-pointer which was scored in the second period. The local players got a break in the last quarter, with only about. four minutes to play, when the junior vars'ity attempted to punt from behind its own goal and Bill Myers rushed through the line aind blocked the punt . .The ball was recovered in the end zone by Al Darte for the initial junior college tally. Ed Nattras kicked the winning point. With only a few minutes to play the junior varsity staged a rally that went all the way down to the local club's 30 yard line where Bob Waters intercepted •a pass and ran it back into the junior varsity territory. Local Line Tops The junior varsity had a tough session with the local line and failed to gain too much via the junior college walL George Lewis, Dan Bradley, Girard Washco, Jerry Munzing, and Bob Gorgas .p layed top-notch ball and many times stopped the Lewisburg squad from making huge gains. Jack Reese and John Florewicz were in the contest a good part of the time and performed well, but injuries kept the two quarterbacks from playing their usual game of ball. Pinky Pilllkowski held down the quarterback position when the other gridders were out and helped consi~erably in bringing about the junior college win. SCHOOL CONDUCTS PRE-VICTORY DANCE On Friday, October 11, Bucknell University Junior Colleg e began its social activities with a successful pre-victory dance. It was gratifying to see so many loyal Bucknell students turn out to celebrate the introduction of Bucknell's first football season. The dance began promptly at 8, with music being furnished by the Collegians, a thirteen piece band made up of a group of ambitious students. The music was excellent and provided the needed spark to get the students into a true college spirit. The crowd was in a cheerful mood and many new friendships were made during the course of tJ1e evening. The returning upper classmen STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE DISBURSEMENT Each semester Bucknell students are required to pay a student activities fee of ten dollars. The money received from this fee is used to support the various activities of the school, in which the students are involved. Their activities include social functions, the Th ~spian Club, Choral Club, Beacon and Athletic program. At the beginning of each semester the presidents of the activities and their faculty advisors decide the amount of money needed to support their programs. The Student Council then decides if the proposed amount is needed. Requisitions for money must be signed either by Miss Norma Sanguiliano, or Mr. Herbert Morris. If an orgainization exceeds its budget, the Student Council, if it sees the necessity, has the authority to award additional funds. At the end of each semester the finance office issues an account of the money spent from the school fund, as well as a report on the balance, which goes to make up the COll'ltingent fund . Under the present ysstem any money in the contingent fund at the end of a semester is carried over into the next semester. As an example of the problems year suffeerd a Joss of $107.43. It was up to the Student Council to take care of the loss from the money that was in the contingoot fund. The following are the statistics from the student activities fund: Beacon had a balance of $495.03 at the end of June. It had an income of eleven dollars during the semester. Expenses amounted to $254.37, leaving a balance in Sep• · a,nd new freshmen made up a great deal of the large crowd that attended the dance. This was a big improvement over the poorly attended dances of previous semesters and we sincerely hope that this means a new era in Bucknell's social activities. RALSTONMEN HOPE FOR TIDRD STRAIGHT WIN IN FIRST HOME BATTLE Coach George F. Ralston's Bucknell Junior College eleven will make its debut in the hometown next Saturday afternoon when it 11will play host to a reportedly powerful Pittston Vocational School grid team, which has been getting some tough breaks during the early part of the ·sea-son, but •p romises to be in top shape for the contest with the local gridders. Coached by John Flanagan, for mer Notre Dame g-rid star, who directed football at St. John's Academy in Pittston for 10 years before entering the service, the GI Black Panthers are pointing to the contest with this institution as the one where they will pick up their fir st victory. The Ralstonmen, backed by a good showing in their two previous rn ntests, will be in exceptionally good condition for the first home game of the season, The backfield has been drilling for the past week illl an effort to work out an effective pass defense for the Pittston Vocational squad, which has changed its early season form of ground attacking to a sparkling aerial offensive, which is certain of spelling doom to any club that has not perfected its pass deefnses·. Local Line Tops The Bucknell lillle is just about one of the best in the local junior collegiate loop, but as far as weights are concerned, the Pittston squad will equal the local gridders. E.:ach school will have a line weighing in at about 200 p~ui:ids per man, a,nd a backfield averaging about 175 pounds per man. No word has been received yet as to just who will be calling the signa-l s for the local squad. It might be Jack Reese, snappy quarterback who pfo.yed for Forty Fort &Orne years ago, or John F:orewicz, who did an excellent job in the Keystone contest. Florewicz played quite a bit of ball with the Nanticoke club in 1940 and 1941.

The advantages of attending college are not always entirely understood by the students. The majority of students first point to the knowledge gaiined by faithfully pursuing the academic courses. This is certainly the most importa nt process of coJ.lege activity. However, extra-curricular activities likewise are of great value to the individual student because they offer both educational and recreational advantages. Clubs and organizations which are founded as the direct result of academic courses provide an excellent meains of the practical app lication of classroom lectures and experiments. The familiar adage, "Experience is the best teacher", applies in college life. It is not necessary to wait until after the completion of college to begin to put education into practical operation. Students should wholeheartedly take part in extra-curricular activities because such exercises are of tremendous importance in the be tti>r preparation for the process of earning a living. This point can not be over-emphasized. •Campus activities encouraged by Bucknell University Junior College are of great value to those who actively participate. Debating, choral study, dramatics, newspaper work, •a nd athletics are definitely to one's advamtage regardless of the course being pursued. The basic fact to be remembered is that these extra-curricular functions provide a means of practical experience inasmuch as the students themselves are the participants. The phrase, "Variety is the spice of life", perhaps best describes the reason why all colleges and universities throFghout th e country urge active participation by s tudents in extra-curricular activities. Regardless of th e course of study beimg followed, participation in the various types of out-of-the-classroom exercises will add to one's knowledge, as all brances of learning are applicable to each other in some manner. Active participation in athletics aids mental as well as physical development. It encourages fairplay and aggressiveness. Those physically able should engage in physical training and should furthermore compete for a place on at least one of the sports teams sponsored by the college's athletic department for outside competition. A college is what the students make it. The numerous advantages of extra-curricular activities shoulci arouse in each student the determination to take a more active part i,r; these functions.

The freshmen class, the Jargest in the history of the school, may even have in it a couple of future presidents of the United States . At the pre-victory dance before the Keystone contest, the Collegians did a wonderful job in providing the group with the proper musical atmosphere. They were a ,novelty band, however, since they play the music the way it's written. The new cafeteria provides another subject for pleasant conversation, but then doesn't food always make for pleasant talk? During the week we heard a quip that we thought worthy of printing. It originated during a Phys ical Science class when the g roup was imformed that in another epoch the weather accom panying Christmas would be as warm as that of Easter.

In the first game of the season against Keystone College of La Plume, the grid representatives of this institution played top-notch football. Naturally, there were a few mistakes at various times throughout the contest, bu·t a team wouldn't be made up of human beings if it didn't slip up in a minor fas hion in its first contest. The whole program has progressed considerably since we first started to blow our horn for football in this school, and from where we're sitting at the present time, the whole affair has turned out to be more successful than we ever dared hope for. It wouldn't be right to mention the success of the team without mentioning some of the people who had a big part in bringing about the establishment of the gridiron sport. Just to run over the list briefly, we find such people as Dr. Eugene iS . Farley, who is one hundred percent behind a sports program, having participated in a good deal of football and wrestling in his college days; Joe Callahan, president of the student council, who has been used as a target by us in the past, but, who has, during the recent campaign to arouse interest in the grid team, worked harder than anyone else. H e deserves a great deal of credit for a fine job. George Russ, one of the school's diamond stars, gave both time amd effort so that all might 1·011 smoothly for the proposed grid team; Dominic Yanch unas, head manager of the squad at the present time, found himself alone mony nights during the early days of practice when most of the work had to be done. It was Dom who ended up by doing most of it. Last, b\lt not least, although we've probably missed quite a few, is George Ralston, who had a big job to do by himself. After seeing the team in action there is little doubt about his success. Ralston has done a swell coaching job and deserves a great deal of credit. * * * Remember our prediction on the Keystone game--18 to 6? It was only off one touchdown each way. We couldn't help noticing at the Keystone contest that our college is really on the road to the proverbial ".big-time". The Keystone students and visitors practically stood on their ears when this institution's band marched on to the field. Under the direction of Reese (I can play any instrument) Pelton, the Bucknell mu sical group combined both marches and popular co mpositions into a very delightful program during the football game. It wouldn't be right to pass orchids to the bandsters without dishing out a few of the flow ery articles to the cheerleading squad, which did a fine job at the initial cqntest. * * * What about the mascot.?

MEETING OF CLASS OFFICER YEARBOOK STAFF ELECTIONS SET FOR THIS MONTH SET FOR TODAY Probably many are wonderin g why there has been no election of officers. Ordinarily, the elections have been held in October of each ye ar, but there has been a delay thi s semester because the constitution that governs the student body has been re-written . 'Ihe former constitution was an emergeincy document that operated during the war years. Many of its faults have been corrected so that when the elections take place two weeks after the Constitutional A ssembly, the new rules, rather than the old, will be applied. At the annual elections both class and student officers are elected. The class officers can succeed themselves, whereas office-r s of the Student Council cannot succeed the mselves. Officers that are chosen fo r each cla ss are: President, VicePresident, Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian. Elected members of the Student Council are; President, _ Vi ce - President, Secretary, and Treasurer. In the past , elections were . condu cted in a rather slipshod man,ner. Each class w ould conduct its nominations about tw o weeks after the sem ester started . At that time the nominees would s it back and wait for the elections, while in some cases no election wes needed a s only one person was nominated fo r the position. There was no spirit of competition or feeling or res ponsibility regarding the job to be filled . The election proper was held .in such a manner that several people could influence the voting of others. It has been suggested that at the forthcoming election a ballot system be used. In this maruner everyone can say he voted as he thoug,ht best rather than the way his neighbor voted. Remember, these officers represent the· interest of the student body, so let's give the election more than a passing thought ir. order to place it on a plane hi g- hi'.r tl ,at its present level. ALUMNI NEWS Irene Sieminski is in tra ining at Cornell Hospital. Doris ,Smith, '46, is working as a laboratory technician at the N esl; itt Memorial H ospital.

All members of t he 1946 BUJC Ye a rbook and all other students who are interested in joining thi s activity are requ ested to attend . After a bri ef pre lim ina ry di sc us sion which will expl a in the fu nc ti ons of the several staffs, th er e will be separate meetings of each staff. At these m eeting s, the w ork, duties, and particular problems of each -u nit will be discussed in detail, in order that interested iil1dividuals may have the opportunity of deciding where they can use t heir tal e nts to adva ntage. The BUJC Yearbook is composed of three staffs: the editorial, the busienss, and the photographic. Each g ro up will te in charge of a tempora r y chairman selected f.rom the staff officers of the 1946 BUJC Yearbook. These temporary officers will function until the members of ea ch unit selec t permanent staff chiefs within th e next several wee~s.

PRE-VICTORY DANCE IS HUGE SUCCESS · "The Thespians", the very active dramatic group on this campus has already started working on plans for the fall semester. The club is under the capable direc,tion of Miss Sanjuliano. The group presents two three act plays a year, alternating between a comedy and a more serious production. Try-outs and casting have already started for the first presentatio,n. Miss Sanjuliano announces that this year's first production will be a serious pla y, the name of which will be announced _soon . It is expected that the play will be given before Christmas . The officers of th e club are: President, Clayton Karambelas; Vicepresident, Priscilla Sweeney; Secreta ry, Beverly Broadt; Historian, Dolor es Seitchek. The club has a great deal of work on its hands and its members are usually quite busy. Of course all the older students at Bucknell remember the fire in the theatre !ast Ma y.

The King's-Bucknell game marks the height of the 1946 football schedule. It almost seems impossible that two months ago we were listening to people tell us that we were eligible for life-time •scholarships in any one of the i,nstitutions , for the feeble-minded because we happened to have the crazy idea that football would go over at this institution. Thanks to lots of hard work on the part of many of the faculty members and students of the junior college, football has b~comc just about the biggest thing in this school outside of scholastic work. Unlike other schools that start football, this college ha s a topnotch team that looks better than most of the s maller college teams throughout the country that have been engaged in the grid sport for many a year. The boys and Coach George Ralston have been doing a swell job so far this season and deserve a great deal of credit. Here's another of those almost accurate predictions. Bucknell JC 27, King's College 6. Ed Nattras, substitute center for this institution's eleven, has been putting an educated toe to good use of late. In the first contest of the season, Nattras kicked two extra points when the junior college beat Keystone 1'.4 to 0. A week later the Ralstonmen journeyed to Lewisburg to meet the Bucknell University jayvees. It was during this contest that the ability of Nattras to boot extra points really came through. The local club was behind 6 to O until the last four minutes of the ball game, when the junior college aggregation pushed across the tying six-pointer. The outcome of the battle depended upon Nattras and whether or not he codd put across the point. Needless to say, he put it squarely between the crossbars and won the game. Last week against Pittston Vocational, when this institution helped itself to a large slice of the upper valley club's pride by beating the Flanagan aggregation· 40 to 0, Nattras upped his extra point kicks to seven, all out of a possible eight kicks. We can't argue about a record, like that. The funny part of it is that the fellow never _played football before and is doing a swell job at the center position besides kickin the one point additions. g ____ Ever since we heard about this school's putting the okay on a grid team, we started to make suggestions and in general have seemed to be trying in a rather vain way to run things. Back issues will verify the fact that we mentioned beforehand that the games would go better under the lights and that Kingston field could possibly be obtained. Some of those pipe dreams didn't turn out to be too bad, so here's another one. Since the King's College-Bucknell Junior College game is the biggest contest on either school's * Coverts Flannels ** Tweeds Gabardines * Plaids * Worsteds * ALTERATIONS FREE TWEEDY'S PANTS STORES 2 W.

It seems that Joe couldn't give any good answers to some of the questions put to him. In fact they almost tok his application One of the queer incidents that happened at the Pittston Vocatio:nal-Bucknell contest was related by Mr. Williams, who told how one man approached the ticket gate and demanded admission on his Wyoming Seminary season pass. Seeing no connection, Mr. Williams had to turn the man down. This · refusal. however, did not kill the desire of the would-be gate crasher to t r y to get in without purchasing a ticket. A few minutes later he was back with a tale of woe about his brother who played on the Pittston t 2am We never did find out just how that story ended '.Vl~ybe he got in.

Jerry Munzing, smooth on the baseball diamond but rugged on the gridiron, will play at right tackle. Walt Hendershot, big tackle, is likely to see a lot of action at that position, along with Washco and Munzing. Walt played at Kingston High Ln 1940. Kenny Young will take care of the right end spot. Kenny is an exNavy coxswain. He was on the '43 West Pittston team which took top honors in the Luzerne County Conference. Johnny Florkiewicz learned his shrewd quarterbacking at N anticoke High.

I should like to start a daring movement for the saving of the modern short story from "Old Scratch"; some of the recent reading I have done prompted me to this course of action. That which is being penned off as short story today is a shock to my delicate constitution, and the problem is one which would give Edgar Allen Poe just cause to turn over in his "·Cask of Amontillado" and 0. Henry genuine reason for a surprise ending. It is something appal iing and dastardly. Being of the "Poeish" school of short story admirers, it excites vexation in me to read a short story which is not a story, but something without a plot. The "things" being grouped under short story headings are not s,h ort stories; they are essays ... of poor quality. I feel that it is far better to write nothing than to write much concerning nothing. And everyone of the two-hundred such histories published each month is just that. Oh, occasionally I find a good one; they interest males usually, however, as they (the good ones) are portraits of seductive females in boudoir scenes. However, the majority are tin-typed substitutions for good tales; illiey are written to fill a gap, or to appease peoples' more base instincts. The use of cliches, the repeated occurance of stereotyped plots, and the downright lack of originality are frightening things; they serve to set me wondering as to the short story's future, I think the short story is too valuable to be misused. The short story is a sound instrument; the short story is a vital force in American literature. This is perhaps the most effective medium for interpretation of incidents; incidents hiwe Ytility l)e- the '39 Wyoming Seminary football team. When Bob fla,shes his shifty, hard-driving rui!ming style tomorrow Sem may wish it had him back. Jack Josephs never stops adding laurels to his name as a grid star. Jack was an excellent back at Meyers High and later held down the fullback position on the Eighth Air Force All Star team. With Bobby Waters, he forms one-half of the most potent one-two punches we've seen in a long time. As always, Bill Johns will be depended on for his superb punting and fine defensive play. The "Bomber" will start at fullback. Sharing the fullback duties with Johns will be Henry Supinski, onetime G. A. R. back. He played a terrific game against Dickiillson JC, and Coach Ralston will be counting on the same type of playing against Seminary tomorrow. Once again we'll stick our neck out and make this prediction, Bucknell 13, Wyoming Seminary 7. * * * Some of the signs that have been hanging around the school advertising tonight's "Pigskin Prom" have been slightly ,misleadi.ng. The new title given to the dance fs "Thanksgiving Prom". It's true that earlier in the week the name of tonight's affair was Pigskin Prom, but someone overlooked the fact that we'll need football players in tomorrow's contest with Wyoming Seminary. As a result, the gridders were forbidden to attend what was originally called a "Pigskin Prom". * * * That would have been great, a "Pigskin Prom" without the boys who carry the pigskin.
