Mary Porter, Sylvia Roth SUPPORT ADVERTISERS In each issue of the ,B EACON there is approximately two and one half columns of advertising, paid for by the merchants of Wyoming Valley. Last week, when one of the organizations of this college sponsored a dance, there was occasion to order about 10 dozen roses. Instead of the club ordering from a merchant who supports one of the school activities, the floral arrangements were taken care of by another concern. This is the first time such a thing has happened, but having ha,ppened once it was costly enough. The florist who was left out of the picture completely, even though he offered the flowers at a cost much lower than was paid, decided there .was little sense in supporting a school that failed to recipro,.cate when it had a chance. All clubs in this school are asked to be particularly careful before placing orders. Remember, the ;vearhook, the literary magazine, and the college newspaper, can use the support of people outside the school. When a merchant is gracious enough to support a school activ;ty, let's return the favor when possible. Rogers Bill May Raise Vet Pay $35 Recognizing the necessity for a raise in veterans' subsistence allowances, a bill will go before the •House Sub-Committee on Veterans' Affair-a, on May 10 asking for a flat $35 increase to both single and married veterans. According to figures released rea,ntly by the Veterans Administration, 300,000 veterans have dropped out of ~hool because of inadequate funds. The· Rogers ·Bill is the first offidal move taken toward increasing the veterans' subsistence. . Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple University, sent a telegram to the Houses Sub-Committee on Veterans' Affairs, supporting the new proposal. Before bacl<ing the bill, the president of Temple University carried out an investigation of his own. His survey covered over 4,000 student veterans and revealed that single vets required between $90 and $100 per month to remain in school, and that married vets require between $125 and $150. Here on our campus the situation is the same. Veterans need more money. Out of the $65 per month received by the s :ngle veteran there is little that can be saved after the monthly expenses are met. The married veteran is even worse off. He receive-s ·only $25 more and out of this has to come the rent and food bill. Without a doubt, the married veteran can not get along on the subsistence alloted to him by the government. Most of the veterans must devote part of the time that should be used .in studying, on outside j01bs. Harry Dubin, president of the Student Veterans Coordinating Committee, which is sponsoring the drive at Temple University, stated that further campus action is necessary because action on the bill is coming to a crisi,s. If you are interested in seeing this bill passed write to your represent~ tive in Washington and tell him you would like him to give his support to the proposal. LETTERS TO STUDENT POLL THE EDITOR In view of all t he semi-formal D.ear Editor: At present the Student Council is trying the perplexing parking problem. The letter in last week's issue of the .Beacon by John Martin has demonstrated the grave need for a solution . The facts of the case clearly indicate that some provision mu-st be made to aid those students who drive to school. They must have parking space for certain periods of time daily. It is unjust to expect them to park their cars in city lots where the f.ees are expensive, considering the irregular class periods most of them have and the necessity, in most cases, of parking five days a week. The Student Council has done an excellent job to date. The existing parking situation is the most difficult issue the ·Council will have to face. The problem will become even more complicated when the college expands to assume the responsibility of a four-year institution. The logical answer would seem to be a parking lot operated by Bueknell a.nd for Bucknell students. However, the immediate possibility of fulfilling such a measure is extremely doubtful. In any event, prompt action must be taken toward finding a remedy for the existing state of affairs. JOE SULLIVAN Dear Ed, This is not a gripe but merely a constructive suggestion. First of all, I would like to tip my hat to the student council for creating a new spirit at the college. However, in spite of the new spirit and all the new social events, there is something lacking. To help locate this somethiing which ls lacking, I would like to suggest the formation of at least one B. U. J. C. Inter-Collegiate Athletic League comprising the various clubs on the campus. I may l;.e wrong, but I think the league would strengthen the clubs and create a new iriter.e st of friendly rivalry between the differe,n t clubs. , I am sure the boys of the PreMedical Society, the I. R. C., or the Polish Club, not mentioning the other various clubs, would enter into a B. U. J. C. Inter-Collegiate SoftJball or Tennis League. Since the college vet s are not re• quired to take physical tr,a ining, wlhich w:!ry few do take twice a week, ( am sure the boys would enjoy a few hours ooce a week of athletics to maintain their muscular form. I know quite a f,ew of the boys are very interested in athletics ibut are unable to play for the college on th.e regular ,t eam because of the time involved for daily practice; whereas, a B. U. J. C. Inter-'Collegiate League would eliminate tJhat problem of practice, give the boys an hour or two a week of athletics, stimulate the clubs, and create an interest or new spirit that seems to be lackiing. I am sure Coach George Ralston would cooperate 100 per cent and help form the new athletic league if he w ere approached. Ralp:h P . Carey· and Edwin M. Kosik Dear Professor Feelzwell: We hereby inform you that we are particular as to who accompanies us on our expedition! The few students that you have chosen do not measure up to our standards. We'd rather have "Smoe" and "Joe" accompa,ny us. Their company is much more refined. As for our destination, we'd like to go and find out how things ar.e in Glocca-Morra. If we find a wishing well there, we'll wish thatwell, never mind. If our wish comes true, YOU'·LL never know what it was, anyway. If w,e can't go there, we'd like to go to India and find out the answers to our many questions-you know, like Tyrone Power did in dances that have been held in the past and those that will be held in the near future, th,e Beacon has decided to use this week's Student Poll as a means of discovering just what the student think of semiformal affairs . Question: What is your opinion of semi-formal affairs? PA UIL WII NTERS - There are too many. A cabaret party -at the Country Club would .be a novel idea. ·OLAJYTOIN KARAMBE-LA.S - I like the idea of having a lot of. semi-formal dances because it gives everyone a,n opportunity to go at one time or another. H!ARRI.S HA V A~D - They are very niee but we are having too many. CLAIRE FISCHER- There can never be too many semi-formal dances as far as I'm conc.e rned. ANDY ROAN-Instead of semiformal dances, there should be some strictly formal affairs held. EARL WOLFE~ Once a month is okay. If there are t oo many, however, they lose their flavor. CHARLOTTE DAVIS-They are very nice, but I thi,n k a farmer dance would be fun for a change. Meet Me Tonight By The River Meet me tonight by the river, When the moon is riding high, When the stars above inspire love, As they sparkle in the sky. J. C. NINE - NOSES OUT l(ING'S, 11-10 WATERS STARS Monday, April 28-Bobby Waters, rightfielder for this colleg.e 's baseball team, may not be the fastes t thing on a diamond, but this afternoon the gods of baseball added wings to the feet of the little man as he pounded down the basepath from third in a successful attempt to steal home with the winning run to beat King's College 11-10. In a contest which• saw the lead change hands about four times, both teams finished the ninth i,n ning in an 8-8 deadlock. Aft€.r a scoreless tenth inning, King's added two runs in its half of the elev,mth and it looked as though th.e other city college was going to take home the win. Pulling a Frank Merri.well finish out of the bag, Bucknell filled the bags, as a result of a hit and two walks, when Jack Josephs drove out a single· to bring in two runs. Jack Jon.es, who looks like one of the best catchers in the. collegiate circles, stepped up to the plate, with the winning run, in the form of Bob Waters, perched on third base. Sudde.nly the pudgy rightfielder broke for the plate and amid a cloud of dust and plenty of confusion, slid safely across with the big run.

'!'hat's a point that no one can ar gue on, not even you, dear Fellzwell. Someone asked the Lieutenant who Professor Feelzwell was and she told him. He said he fell-z-well, do.esn't he? To which the Lieutenant replied, "'The Captain a,nd I don't think he looks too well. We think if he took a trip somewhere -a trip to Minnesota would bring back that ruddy complexion that mak,es the men look SO handsome -he would live up to the name Feel-z-well or Feel-zwell !" We can't under.stand why h.e won't leave. It's either because of oi.:r outstanding sweetness or becaus.e he just doesn't _think we (the Captain and the Lieutenant) can get along without him. I'd be willing to swear that a few days after he departed, we-th.e Captain and the Lieutenant - would take the first means of transporta.tion whether plane, train, or car ; I, the Captain, would even walk (only if I had to) and the Lieutenant would, too (if it were an order) and follow him.

The council handl-ing school government at the present time is definitely for the school and students. All one has to do to be sure that there is a competent group handling student affairs at Bucknell is to attend one of the Student Council's meetings. Everything about the meetings suggests sound handling. J ohn Reilly, president of the organization, has complete control during a meeting, but does not exercise his powers to th e point where one feels that he is unreasonably dominating the session. Outsiders are given a chance to taike part in the meetings, although such proceedings are not called for the student constitution. PEGGY WOOLCOCK PEGGY WOOLCOCK is the girl who captivated you with her performanc e as Elizabeth Garrett in the Thsepians' production of "Th.e Barrets of Wimpole Street'. She sings with the Dulcet Teens, local singing group, in h.er spare time. Peggy is another Coughlin High School graduate. At Bucknell she is studying for a B. A. degree, hoping to become a journalist. A little praise should be given to Joe Savitz, who is one of the most active members of the council. Joe .seems to specialize in arrang.ing for the junior college's dances. He was instrumental in arnt+1ging fo~ tonight's affair, which is being sponsored by the Lettermen's Cl-ub, and also did most of the work in connection with bring "The Man Who Plays The Sweetest Trumpet in the World" to this college on May 24. By JOE SULLIVAN The Bucknell Junior College baseball players have reached their peak in pre-s,eason practice drills and will play an exhibition contest with King's College tomorrow at Kirby Park. Both the · Bisons and the Kingsmen have been working out daily at Kirby Park, and th,e two coaches feel confident that their respective teams will be strong in the impending diamond campaign. Th.e local nine will play its first· ga me against a reportedly strong Hanover High School outfit on Friday, April 25, on the latter's field. The following afternoon, Coach George Ralston's lads will face th.e first real t est when they travel to .Selinsgrove where th.ey will take the field against S usquehanna Unive rsity. This game should throw some light on the comparative str.ength of the home team. Local city rivalry will be resumed between Bucknell a n d King's College in a regular league csqntest scheduled for April 28 at Kirby Park, with the Bisons being the home team. Coach Tom Brock has already indicated who will bat in the clean-up spot. Teddy Sherba, former M,eyers High School performer and batting star of a highly-rated Army team, has been levelling the fences with his tremendous drives and is set to cover centerfield. Otherwise, Brock has not hinted at his probabl.e starting lineup. Coach Ralston likewise has not decided on his opening-day 11neup. There are a number of candidat.es out for various positions on the team, and the competition is keen. Among the holdovers from last y.ear's diamond squad are: Outfielders Jack Klob er and Joe Baltrushes; Infielders Al Darte, Marty Wa rmus, J-ack Reese, and J erry Munzing. G.eorge Russ, catcher and third baseman, is back for th e 1947 campaign. Several valuable additions will -strengthen the local club, especially in th.e pitching department.

STATION AT 7:45 OF FIRST FROSH EVENT; FORWEEK IN HAVANA~CUBA BUCKNELLIANS TO PLAY By TOM MORAN By HANK ANDERSON Since the mountain won't come to Mohamed, Mohamed simply must pick up his toothbrush and comb and journey to the mountain, or so it goes with the Spanish Department of Bucknell University Junior College, which is working on the assumption that if the Spanish speaking people won't come to the Spanish Department, it will bundle up its students and take them to the land of Spanish speaking inhabitants. The freshman class will sponsor the spring term cabaret party tonight at 8 :00 .P, m. in the St. Stephen's Church House Auditorium. This will be the initial event staged by the freshman class. The affair, moreover, will be the first of its. kind since the last summer session. The committees for the atfair have arranged a lively and entertaining evening for tonight, one that no one should miss. And next Thursday morning at 7:45 from the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station, approximately 46 student s and guests of the institution's Spanish Department w ill board a special car which will start them off on t he fir st leg of their seven day educational tour of Havana, Cuba. 'The first stop will ,be in Philadelp hia, where t he group will switch to the crack coast train of the Atlantic Coast Line for the remainder of t he trip to Miami, Florida. At the Miami airport t he local students and guests will board two transports for t he ·last leg of the journey ,by air. The trip will end at the Havana Airport late in the afternoon of April 4. As ~r as can b,e determined this is the first time in t he history of Pennsylvania colleges t hat such a trip ha s- been made possible by an institution for t he mcmb,ers of one of its language clubs. Word has been received by Miss Martha J . Silseth, head of the junior college Spanish Club, that both the Amer ica n and Cuban consuls, as well as t he t ravel a gencies of P an American Airways, WilkesBarre, Miam i, a nd Havana, have planned one of the most interesting trips ever arranged for a grnup touring the Lat in capitol.

By JOHN HUDZIK "There is no intellectual confusion in the world today", said Dr. Thaddeus Mitana, well known Polish-American educator and l eeturer, in his speech delivered to members of the Polish Club and their guests on Sunday aftennoon, March, 16 in Chase H all. "However", stated Dr. Mitana, "we are in a state of moral confusion. Science has advanced to the stage where it follows intellectual g eometric plan. Everything is predetermined, and man is just am ephemeral part of a Ji ving mass. Natur e made man as a by-product in its ag eless p rocess of change. Man is just a fli cker in t ime; yet, in a ll etern ity, man alone is aware of his be ing-he alone is awar e of t he beauties of na ture. The rest of nature is una ware of its own existence."

Although begun only a few years ago, Bucknell students ap prove.cl of the ca baret party so er,thusiastically that it has become one of the few social traditions a t Buckr,ell Junior College. It has been correctly stated that the caba ret parties ,h ave more atmosphere than arty other affair. For each party, the auditorium is decorated in cabaret style : the room is dimmed to candle light ; tables for four are placed within good view of the stage; andrefreshments are ample and are conveniently served t o t he guests. To highlight the evening, the party invariably unveils a great deal of student ta lent. The summer cabaret party fea: tur,ed a wide variety of acts ranging from music to comedy. In the musical department, Reese Pelton and his orchestra did some of · its consistently fine work; John Martin crooned several numbers; and Tom Mol'8ill did some fine impromtu work on two Irish ballads. Winst o,; H ali' did some excellent pant omining and a comedy skit. A group wh ich called itself Anderson and Co. (Faith Davis, Nelson Nelson, Tom Moran, John.ny Milano; Hank Anderson) dramatized two skits, "Dick Tracy" and "A Da te with Harry". Featured as chief waiter for the pa r ty was Wesley Lane, who served refreshments from a cha r iot which was pushed around by his cohorts.

Dear Edi-tor: The Biology Department was mortified to read illl the Beacon that a skeleton, purportedly a member of this department, has been seen on campus masquerading as a female under the nam,e of Reggie Mortis. Such a situaition is a matter for the Dea:n of Women since it is absolutely against the criminal code for a male skeleton to impersooate a female.

While working on the sport dance plans were being wade to sponsor one of the biggest and most colorful semiformal dances ever held by this college on April 11. One of the reasons for the organization's success is completing plans for its future social activities is the cooperati:m among its members. Unlike the pre-dance meetings of committees of other organizations, there is no bickering among the members of the club, and everythiing moves along in an orderly and speedy manner. Poss.1bly, this is due to the fact that the members of the club have learned through their e~perience on the athletic field that there can be only one captain at a time and if success is to come of any attempted project, members must take orders from the selected captain.

BISON CAGERS END SEASON; Student Council WIN CUP IN PJCAA.· TOURNEY Offers Minutes By iGARFIELD DA VIS This year's Bucknell Junior College basketball team finished with a less imposing record than that of the 1945-46 team but, as always, it provided its followers with many t hrills. As in the last, season Jo.e ·Swartwood dropp ed them in from all angles and made it look like the easiest thing in the world. Bill Johns could still be s.een barging down the court, eyes on the opposing team's .basket, looking like that much-spoken-of issesistible :force. And Bill Zukausky was still COlllfusing th,e opposition with his wizardry under the basket. We've been wondering for two years how 'Zuk' gets those shots off. Probably we'll n,ever find out. A talented group of basketeers turned out to support the three holdovers from last year's squad. Danny Gilroy teamed up with Swartwood at forward, and with his accurate shooting threatened to make . the Bucknell roote.r s forget the ! famed .Swartwood-Wit.ek duo of a 1 year ago. i J~e Savitz hook shot artist alternated with Zukausky at ' the center post. Joe also excelled in a puzzling maneuver or two, his favorite being a hook shot out of a quick pivot that he sent basketward on a fast, straight line. Bill Havery, on joining the team early in February, quickly sew,ed up the secOllld guard position, and like Bill Johns, was a superior defensive player. Harvey will be remembered for his aggressiveness. The res.erve forwards, S. Balchum, Paul Hufl, Earl Fritzges and Carl Gi,b son, and the reserve center, Bill Leeker, performed creditably when called on, as did the reserve guards, Danny Norman, Joe Pinola, Bob Anthony, and John Kane.

There is No Substitute For QUALITY FRANK CLARK Jeweler 63 South Main Street �BUCK.NELL BEACON 4 Students Urged To See Advisers Time for mid-s,e mester grades .. Time to go see your faculty adviser . .. Time to find out where you stand in your scholastic career .. . and her,efore, it is also a good time to review briefly the system of student-faculty adviser relationship, which may be rather hazy in th.e minds of many but which should be clearly understood if it is to work effectively. East s.tudent is assigned to a facul t y member who is to act as his or her special adviser. As much a s possi ble, the faculty member is a tea cher in that student's major fi.eld of interest; however, this is not always possible to arrange, for it would overload some teachers and leave others with few advise.es. Once a student has been notified as to who his adviser is, th.e success of the system depends on the individual student and his cooperation in it. An entering student firs t conf.ers with his adviser about the course of study he should pursue, based on his i-nterests, background, and abiliti.es. If the conference goes alon g smoothly, the advisee may not see his adviser again until it is time to receive the mid-s.emester grades. this is a good time to review the weakn esses that have shown up and make plans to remedy them . However, the giving out of grad.:,s and th,e advising on the course of study are not the ooly purposes of this counselling system. If that were so, it would be very cut and dried. The couns.elling system is ,b ased fundamentally on two objectives: to give the student advice and assistance in obtaining th.e most out of his college life; amd to assist in preparing that student as much as possible for useful and happy living after college. With such goals in mind, th.e adviseradviseee relationship should not be limited to just the scholastic aspects of college, but should include also th.e social and the personal, which after all may have more permanent effect upon the indidvidual. The whole purpose of the counselling system breaks down if: 1. The adviser is not informed accurately through records and other information about the advisee and about the scholastic requirements to be met. 2. The student does not take sound advice given to him or fails to seek advice when it is needed and in time for it to be of real valu,e. 3. The personal relationship between the two individuals is not satisfactory. None of these things need happen, and it is up to both adviser and advisee to see that they do not happen When you go to see your advis.er about April 14 to obtain your mid-semester grades, have the attitude that you are going to get som.ething more permanen t out of the interview than g rades, and that you are going t o give something, too.

By GARFIELD DAVIS Coach George Ralston has announced that Bucknell Junior College's 'b aseball team will begin practic.e for the 1947 season soon after April 1. The squad will h old its practice s es,s ions at Kirby Park . At the present time the field- · house across the street from the Bucknell practice field is being whipped into shape for u se as a dressing r oom . Coach Ralstoo stated that he has been havi ng some trouble obtaining certain equipment, but that h e expects to have all required paraphernalia by the tim.e the trainin g session begins. Prospects fo r t his season are good, as many members of last year's successful t.eam are expected back this season. These include Al Valunas, outst anding hurler who came through with several victories and pitched one threehitt.er; Al Darte, slugging first baseman; Jerry Munzing, secondbaseman; Jack Reese, Shortstop, and Marty Warmus, clever thirdhas.eman who ran Bucknell's opponents diz zy with his speed on the basepaths. Also expected to be out for the team are George Russ, capable catcher oo last year's .s quad; Joe Baltrushes, who doubled as speedball pitcher and slugging flychaser, and Jack Kloeber, who stood out defensively as an outfielder last year. Newcomer expects to try for -p laces on this year's squad are Walt Hendershot and Crane Buzby; pitchers; John Jones and Bob Wat,:s, catchers; and John Florkie\\rrcz, outfielder. Coach Ralston is decidedly optimistic about the coming season and urges all men with previous base·h all experience, as well as others who would like to play, to come out for the team. Notices will be posted on the bulletin boards soon announcing the date of the first practice season.

Mitana To Address Polish Club I opened the door to Kirby 306, took a few steps into the room, and froze in my tracks! I blinked twice, swallowed my gum, reached for my cigarettes and crumpled the package (making a mental note to report t he cigarette dealer to the Narcotics Bureau), swore off spirits for life, and wished wholeheartedly that I'd gotten some sleep the night before, because directly in front of me stood a naked skeleton (cartilaginous framework) thumbing its nose at me. I pretended that I didn't see it and quickly walked to my seat. I tried looking the other way, but with a magnetic force the framew,o rk of ,b ones drew my eyes back to it. I had seen it in the room before, but I had never seen its thumb (or what had been its thumb) perched on its a1ose (or what had been its nose). Beads of perspiration formed on my ·brow, and my left eye began to twitch. No one else seemed to notice the spectacle, and that increased my sweating and twitching. I looked forward to a dreadful hour of delirium tremens. Then the persOlll sitting n.ext to me laughingly said, "Did you notice what ,s ome jokester did to the skeleton?" Until the day of his death, that wonderful p,erson will never know why I embraced him and shed happy tears all over his camel's hair jacket. Thus relieved, I sat back and breathed easily again. At peace with my mind once mare, I began to think about the skeleton and wondered of its origin. Hundreds of questions rushed to my mind. Who was it? What was it? Was it a he or a she? How did it get here? My curiosity plagued me so that L decided to investigate. I dashed down to the office in Chase Ha.II and made inquiries of the proper authorities. They welcomed the project and gave me a free rein to all the liberties due a student in the midst of profound research. evening of relaxation combined with cultural benefits for all.

J\ large percentage of the top tW1es arp, merely written by putting modern words to classical melodies. The terrific hit "Till the End of Time" was written by using formula. An additional large percentage ar!'l tunes of yesteryear that nave been revived, because of the lack of enough good .tunp,s being produced by our writers of today. ' 1Guilty" is only one of the many t.u nes of this type. This leaves a small percentage of tunes coming from Tin Pan ~lley, and many of those arp, of inforior quality because they are copied from other songs. Perhaps you have noticed that "Oh, But I Do" sounds a lot like "Soft H.'larted" which was recorded in '38 by Freddy Martin. "What More Can I Ask For", one of Guy Lombardo's illewest releases, .reminds the listener of the popular hit, "Sonata". Upon furth,er ob 0 servation you will notice pairt of "Remember Me" in the Latin number "Managua, Nicaragua", and you will find that "You Broke Tbe Only Heart That Ever Loved You" has part of "You Won't & Satisfied" in it, which in tum was lifted from Peter DeRose's "Never A Day Goes By". The list is endless, but why go on? The ,p roof is obvious, sinCf! you've heard f?O many of · these songs yourself. · To support the accusation further, I irefer you to the popular novelty ".Mabel, Mab.<!l". · Dvorak wrote the music years ago. Recently it took three modern songwriters to add words and convert it into a ,below-avp,rage song. The same is true of Tchaikovsky's theme melody which you now know as "Save Me A Dream". Two of the popular songs making the rounds at present have been banned from the NBC network because of their . suggestive wordage. "Last Night On The Back Porch" is one of the two, and the.rp, are others. Speaking of songwritiillg, have you happened to see the Columbia musical picture "Sing Whil.<! You Dance"? It's impossible to construct a song by using the method that Ellen Drew used to write "It's A Blue World". This song incic,~ntally, is a good song which was featured by . Tony Martin severa\ years ago, and it wasn't written by the method shown in the pie. ture. Until Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter r~sume writing the kind of music which made them famous, and until capable men can be found to replace the loss of such musical greats as Gershwin and Kern, the, future of popular songwriting is not too bright. After days of intensive and thorough research through the archives of Bucknell, I was able to assemble a complete dossier on the past life of the skeleton. It was a she! (My findings fail to -s tate how this can be pointed out today.) Her name was Regina Mol'ltis. Her friends called her "Riggie." She was born in 1918 to fabulously wealthy . parents, who later lost their entire fortune in the Big Crash. This was a · great blow to Riggie, as she was exceptionally intelligent, being able to descri-be the arcbitecture of the Parthenon in detail at the age of two, and this meant that she couldn't continue her education. Her father, who became a circus barker, told her that if she wished to attend college, she must raise the money herself as there were no funds in the family coffers. After. After many failures to raise the mony, Riggie finally struck on a plausible idea. She decided to sell the rights to her corpse and skeleton to a college! With th e monetary allowance granted her, she would then be able to complete her education. Riggie made arrangements with the proper authorities and her corpse and skeleton were signed over to Bucknell Jr. College. Everything was fine until the fact that she wasn't eating .began to show. Rer ,t uition had ,been paid, but she had failed to make provisions for food. After six months of existing on illothing ,b ut Wrigley's chewing guip and Sen~Sen, she quietly passed away. It' wasn't a very full and happy life for Reggie. She had sold her skeleton and had got the short end of the bargain. To add insult to injury, she has been forced to stand all through the years and listen to countless Lectures, yet she is unable to get college credits for her attention. How this must hurt her heartless chest. Probably, if ,eyes filled the hollows in her face she would w.eep. Thumb your nose, Riggie! I don't blame you.

Keystone Favored 1While the Keystone squad will be the favored club on the boards tomorrow night because of its win over Bucknell in the previous meeting of these two clubs, the Bucknell five will be out to end the season with a win. From all indications, and taking into consideration the showing the club has made during the last few contests, the R~Istonmen will give the upper-state club plenty of trouble. It's rather difficult to put the finger on the reason for the sudden improvement in the junior college cage squad, but there definitely is new life in the club. Only about two memlbers of the team that started the season are still playing first-string ball, while the remainder of the club is composed of men who started the season parked on the bench. Joe Savitz, who really ·beg,an ~dropping the 11pber_e through the cords in the first King's College-Bucknell contest, has become a permanent member of the starting five. Danny Gilroy, who was virtually a scoring machine under cover, has also been firmly embedded on the starting squad, and has proven by his recent scoring feats that he can be a powerful factor in determining which end of the score the junior college is going to own . The last of the recently added scoring triplets is Joe Harvey, former Nanticoke High gridder and cage star, who has been dropping the pill through the hoops quite frequently of late. Harvey was not an active member of the squad during the early part of the season, but since joining the club has added considerably to the junior college scoring power. The two regular members of the squad who have -b een seeing plenty of action since the season started are Bill Johns, former GAR cager, and Joe .Swartwood, es- 119 Ashley High performer. Both men have been playing excellent ball :1nd a1:P Amo~g- ':!::. ~ tu:.:, "'"" 1.,,,. u.i. tl·e "•'ut • • '" ·_ _ _ _ _ __ I R C Plans • • • .

Sports Program Grows Only a few semesters ago Bucknell Junior College's sports activities consisted of basketball and an intra-mural sports program, which never did include every member of the student body. Today, the junior college has a better sports program than most colleges in this section of the country. The basketball team provided a foundation upon which today's sports program could be built. The second team to enter the junior college sports agenda was baseball, added to the list a year ago. Next came the am;iouncement that football would be sponsored by the school in the fall. Soon afterwards, wrestling was on the list of active sports. Now, as things stand, a tennis team will represent Bucknell in the collegiate sports world starting April 19. 1 Before too long this institution may go one step furth er in the sports world and. bring the girls into the ' sporting spotlight. Many of the colleges throughout the country at the present time have girl's basketball, field hockey, and sw:mming teams. Although no definite statement has been made there is reason to believe that the tennis team will be open to women players. SPIRIT IMPORTANT Ever since we can remember we have been hearing about college spirit. It was always the proper thing to say at a crucial moment when a fan came up with, "Let's give 'em the old college fight." Believe it or not, thi-s spirit, although sometimes the butt of many jokes, is really important. There is hardly an affair, either socially or athletically, that could be the least bit successful if the s,pirit was not driving the people involved. iD uring the war years, when this institution had an enrollment of approximately 3•00 students, there was little in the way of college spirit. This, however, could be expected, because people had a war on their minds. What i,s the ·e xcuse today ? The recent basketball and ~restJin~ contests were not the best example of college spirit. Perhaps, it is because the average college student is more matured to. day than the college lads of .old, who thought nothing of wearing a heavy fur coat, a silly dinky, and waving a school banner when dear old Siwash was playing its collegiate rival. S ince the · increased enrollment at this institution, there has been a noticeable rise in the amount of college spirit displayed by the members of the school, but it is still not • up to what it should be. There's really nothing wrong with yelling your head off when the occasion calls for such action. Many of the students think nothing of paying a dollar and a half to see a baseball team play and feel as though they have not received the most for their money if they don't · come home hoarse. Here at Bucknell the student is admitted to athletic contests free of charge and the only thing the student fans say all evening is -s omething like, "Gosh, it's hot in here. I wonder how much longer this thing can last?" LETTERS TO THE ED/TOA A Lettier to the Editor Dear Ed, I have often enjoyed the fine satire written .by Mr. Feelzwell which is very prudent in it's philoso,p hy, and I crave more of this material. Not for humor's sake, but for the Truth which is inherent therein. May I add a little note to his latest rema·r k pertaining to the carelessness of our manners about the campus grounds. !People are greeted in a very poor manner about the campus and the class. This merely reflects upon the students' poor breeding which was developed in the home and surrounding community. Res.pect has been tossed to the winds. The girls at our school are many times treated as mathematical equals, that is like "dogs". Disrespect has been prevalent in our school entirely too J,ong . A re-examination of social values is urgently needed within many student members. This reflection may also be shown in the young ladies' manners. Some of them are sloppy, and the use of good language is sadly lacking. Modesty, poise, and dignity has also •been cast aside. It is about time this institution developed something besides bookworms, crystal gazers, and nightclub specialists. We need more young ladies and irespectful gentlemen. William Tomusko Dear Ed, In reference to the spleindid Thes,p ian production o f "The Barretts of Wimpole Street", I was amazed at the ignorance of the student audience, who constantly laughed or giggled when an actor had to give his or her best in a profound dramatic moment which requires a tremendous emotional strain. Thi;! actors were besieged a nd distracefi by witty retors which probalbly satisfied the facetious jokers and mimics in the forward part of the audience. I know the majority of the people appreciated the fine acting combined with the sincerity and zest which the members of t he cast candidly presented. But the difficulties they encountered from a part of the audience and the dignified manner in which the play continued is a tribute to patience, diligent work, and the tremendous sacrifice of time which they so eagerly expended towards the play's success. My hat is off to excellent Thespian organizati on of which the school can acknowledge with pride. William Tomusko Friday, March 7, 1947 BISON. .GRAPPLERS CLOSE MAT SEASON WITH WIN DEFEAT BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY VARSITY GR.AiPPL-ERS, 19 TO 11 By HANK ANDERSON CROMWELL THOMAS Cromwell Thomas finished his first year . as coach of Bucknell Junior College's first wrestling team, when his aggregation topped the Bucknell University varsity grappli,ng t.eam, 19 to 11, Saturday night a t the Wilkes-Barre YMCA .

C. wrestling team finished its first season with an impressive ·19 to 11 victory over the Bucknell University varsity matmen at the YMCA last Saturday nig.h t, to make it two wins in five starts for the institution's first year at the mat sport. The wrestlers met some stiff competition in their initial season. This is evident by the large scores made by the junior college mat opponents during the first three meets, which the local grapplers lost to Cornell, Franklin and Marshall, and Princeton, before taki.ng their first victory over King's College grapplers. After the first three losses the junior college wrestlers· were shifted down to Joy.er weight divisions and with the experience they picked up during the early part of the season, the club began to shape up. Sparked by Vince Cavanaugh, former Forty Fort High School grappler, who had contributed the only team points during the first three meets, the junior college grapplers began to rack up victories when it met King's College. During the final two meets the team did some fne wres.t ling. The inexperience which had previously held the squad back was i!lO longer a h~ndicap. Cavanauglh, who compiled four victories in five starts, was Buck-: nell's outstanding matman. Captain Jim Farrell, also an ex-Forty Fort matman, and Steve Wolff, former Seminary grappler, gave good accounts of themselves. Walt Hendershot, who had no experience at the grappling game before coming to this institution, prove'ir in his last two matches that he has a genui,ne talent for the sport. Coach Cromwell Thomas did an excellent job of training his wrestlers. Wit'h most of the present material returning next year he will likely produce one of the best grappling squads in the East.

At Bucknell the change has not been too noticeable, but the girls go "allout" for the newest styles in clothes and hair-do's. Those good-looking suits with the long jackets, bustle effect, attractive 1buttons, and straight skirts have made their appearance and are becoming more numerous all the time. White or colored blouses with ribbon ties give the wearer that certain schoolmarm look and constitute an ideal outfit for school. Tidiness is one of the main factors of our modern dress, exemplified by sweaters tucked in skirts; wide belts around waists; skirts longer and more tailored; blouses with full, long sleeves and lots of embroidery. ·The girls are decidedly getting away from bobby sox. Attractive, low-heeled 1black or brown shoes are coming to the front, and a welcome sight they are. We think the . men will agree with that. 'Hair styles change little except to become more extreme. Upsweeps adorn a few heads, George Washington hair-do's (hair brought back and tied at the nape of the neck with a colorful bow) some others, feather cuts are losing out, we're sorry to say, and long hairdo's prevail. As for the remainder of women's fashions, they are · concerned mainly with jewelry aind accescessories too num'e rous to mention here. Frank Parkhurst, Inc.

SPANISH CLIM CUBA TRIP SET Under the sponsorship of the Pan American Airways, about 40 students of Bucknell Junior College will spend a week's vacation in Havana, Cuba, April 3-10. They will live in the Royal Palms Hotel during their stay, and will entertain in many different ways by the Havana Cham:ber of Commer,ce. The students will be the guests of the University of Havana and thus will be able to promote Pan American relations. They will tour various parts of Cuba and will see the cock-fights and sugar plantatiolils (for a slight fee you might obtain five pounds) . But most important of all, these Bucknellian ambassadors will be in Cuba for the spring fi esta and thus can expect top-notch hospitality from their Latin-American neighbors.

RESULTS: School Orchestra To Provide Music At St. Stephen's The new .Student Council of Bucknell Junior College has announced the first function of its·. social calendar. The Buck.nellians,. popular college orchestra underthe direction of Reese Pelton, will be on hand toni·g ht to launch a. star-studded musical program de-signed for the dancing and listening pleasure of everyone. A wide variety of old and new melodies are included. The playing of "Deep Purple," theme song of the Bucknellians, will be the opening number tomorrow night at 8:30 in the S t . Stephen's Auditorium on Franklin Street. Pelton Leader The junior college's musical organization has reached heights undreamed of when it was foi,med by Reese Pelton in the summer of 1945. The band hit a high note of success in its initial engagement ' at a cabaret party held in Chase Hall on August 3, 1945. A list of highly s~cessful engagements was responsible for the present standing of the Bucknellians as one of the top-notch orc<hestras in local collegiate circles. The local musicians did no_t confine their playing to dance halls; many of tl).em appeared in the band at the football contests to create added color and to lead team support. An attendance, estimated at 500, danced to the music of the junior college orchestra following the BucknellKing's College grid battle. The Bucknellians have recently played outside engagements for various hi gh schools and organizations in Wyoming Valley. With the increase of the orchestra's activities, John Martin, feature soloist, has taken up the position of manager. From all indications, one of the highlights on tonight's program will be the rendition of "Sonata" featuring Maestro Pelton at the key,b oard . For those who cast their votes for soft-flowing ballads "The Old Lamplighter", with a vocal duet by John Martin and Sybil Ichter, should fill the bill. The fan1-0us Glenn Miller arrangement of. "Moonlight Serenade" and a sparkliJ1g new arrangement of "Stardust" should prove to .be two of the specialties of the evening, while the Sinatoo-revived old-<timer, "Among My Souvenirs", promises to furnish easy listening pleasure. For those who prefe r the faster t emp o. the Bucknellians will feature "Musket Ra mble," "Casa Loma Stomp," and the lilting new Artie Shaw anangement of "Beg in the Beguine." A .bright swingarrangement of the hit parade favorite, "Gal In Calico," promises to meet the fancy of all present. Nove lty selections such as "In my Merry Oldsmobile" and "Last Night On The Back Porch" will feature vocal choruses by the band. I J. C.

How the beauty of the Buckneil campus would suffer were it not so. But the smokers are ,not the only landscap!!rs on camirns. Many of the scholars, even while engrossed in the deepest of discussions, automatically distribute c and y wrappers, glim papers, old copies of the Beacon, and notices from the Dean: a.bout the terrain! Bucknell may well be proud that its sons amd daughters are taking theit places in and are making their contributions to the Wyoming Valley with such effortless ease. included in this second group of artists is a small esoteric society whicl). m erits special mention. Its ivory tower is the set of benches under the spreading boughs of the Chi,nese haw tree between Kirby Home for Education and Brennan Hall (commonly known as . the cafeteria) . During the fair summer days that elect circle gathers each noon to bring into being its formal garden. Only through the co,ncerted action of sheer genius can such a conglomeration of wax paper, chocolate imilk bottles, straws in bottle caps, crusts of cheese sandwiches, and apple cores a la orange peel be brought into a living vibrant creation. A third group which was studied may be called the 'pathfinders'. Students m this last group, un- a daunted by s,now or rain, mud or fence, beat new paths about the campus. It is they who break the uninteresting expanses of lawn into exciting patterns. They leave footprints in which those who come after may follow. Their motto, taken from the smokers (many of whom are i<n the trail blazing category), is 'Something new has been added'. In concluding, the situation may be summarized by saying that among the exteriot decorators of the student body, even though we group the paper hangers and the pathfinders, it is still the smokers two to o,ne who keep the Bucknell landscape beautiful.

In order to pres·e rve this storehouse of aviation knowledge, a.nd believing that it is these aelltrained AAF 'personnel who should have a choice in presenting to the American public the requirements for air power. the Air Force Association was organized by responsible individuals with the approval and cooperation of the Armf Air Forces.

Hershey, it is reported, has a t opnotch ball club and has been giving most .o f the other schools in the Penrisylvani,a Junior College plenty of trouble in previous contests. Arrangements for turning the proceeds of tomorrow's night game over to the Infantile Paralysis Fund were completed during th e week by George Ralston with Bob Patton, Sports Editor of the Wilkes-Barre Record and chairman of the drive. The usual custom of admitting Bucknell students on their pa sses will not be in effect Saturday night. For the benefit contest all atteding will pay the usual student or adult admissions. Ralston has expressed the hope that the junior college cagers will be able to turn the tables on the vi'siting Hershey team. Having run into some bad luck during past contests, the junior college five will be pointing towards winning most of the contests remainit11g on its schedule. The junior college team will be depending upon such veterans of last year's sq,uad as Bill Johns, Joe Swartwood, and Bill Zukausky to provide the local quintet with the needed scoring power to top the visiting cage ,t eam. :Some of the other men who will undoubtedly, help the junior col~ Iege club are Harry Black, Joe Pinola, Joe Savitz 2nd Danny Gilroy.

Thespians Ready To Present New Play On Feb. 21 After several months of planning, casting and intensive rehearsal, the Thespia.ns, campus drama.tics organization, has been able to make definite arrangements for its forthcoming production, "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." The play, which dramatizes several incidents in the life J of the poet Robert Browning and his wife, Elizabeth Barrett, will be presented on Friday, February 21, in the college theatre. Mr. Alfred Groh, former Thespian and featured player in the Wilkes-Barre Little Theater presently offering, "Night Must Fall", is _director of "The Barretts." While on campus, Mr. Groh was p1'8sident of the T,hespians and star of several productions, among them ''Gammer Gul'tOt11's Needle" and Mpliere's "le M;isanthrope." At t~yracu_se Univers,i•t y, where he received his bac~elor s degree,. Mr. Groh was prommently associated with ~he Boil-r's Head, collegiate thea!rical gro_up. With technical schedule and rehearsals progressing according to plan, the production pro~ises to be one of the best which the Thespians have offered within several _semesters: The f1;.st American comp~ny to produce The Barretts of W1mpole Street" was that of Catherine Cornell under the management ·o f her husband, Guthrie McClintock. Because the play is of English origin, l\fiss ICornell has he!~ /all producing rights, and it has been only recently that ilt has been released for amateur presentatiOt!l. The Thespians are one of the first of college dramatic groups to .produce the play in the United States . Several years ago the drama was seen in the movies with Frederic March and Norma .Shearer in the starring roles. All students are urged to attend and support one of the cultural activities· of the college. A student pass is all that is necessary for admissiOt!l. The Thespians announce that any person who is interested in taking an active part in the production of "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" is welcome to attend production Betta Gamma Chi To Hold Dance Valentine's Day Ithaca, N.

Mrs. Henderson will join the faculty with . the start of the spring term on February 12. Her home town is Endicott, New York, but she has. spoot considerable time in Wyo-· ming Valley as a member of the staff of the local YWCA. Mrs. I{enderson is a graduate of Tusculum College at Greenville, Tennessee. She received her Master of Arts degree in history and social studies from Syracuse University. For several years, prior to her coming to Wilkes-Barre, she taught in the New York State schools. Following this period of teaching, Mrs. Hendersom was appointed to a position on the staff of the Wilkes-Barre YWCA. Among hee duties at the local center were the organization of activities programs and the counselling of young girls who belong to the Girl Reserves. One of Mrs. Henderson's position!! was Director of Girl Reserves. As Dean of Women, Mrs. Henderson will come in close contact with the girls who a:re in residence at the dormitory and with the larger group of women who comprise the daytime students. With her previous experience in cou,nselling and. in planning activities, Mrs. Henderson will be able to offer valuable assistance to the student council and the women's sorority in their social and goveming programs. In 11ddition to her position as· Dean of ·Women, Mrs. Henderson will also serve as an instructor in history. Spanish Club May Take Air Trip To Havana, Cuba expenses involved in transporta-' tion, hotel accomodations, and meals. On Tuesday, January 21, a large group of students met with Miss Silseth todiscuss further plans for the event. On Tuesday, January 28, another meeting will be held in Chase 209 at 12 o'clock, at which time additional plans for the trip will be arranged. Everyone who is interested in making the trip is invited to attend. It is interesting to note that Pan-American Airways has made this offer only to students of Bucknell College. Such an event has no parallel i.n the history of this college, the advantages of the opportunity which has been extended are obvious. A trip of this nature will be a memorable one. �BUCKNELL BEACON Page Two THE BUCKNELL BEACON EDITORIAL STAFF ~ Editor ... .. ...... ........... ........... ............. ....................... ........ .. ....... ........

And once again the campaign posters, bearing a varied assortment of promises, are being plastered around the school. Some of these promises are sound while others seem to have been made by "tongue-in-cheek" candidates. i>ublicity campaigns singing the praises of an individual accomplish nothing unless those individuals are really and truly capable of assuming the responsibilities of a Student Council position. .Students! when voting, do illOt be influenced by personal feelings, favoritism or flamboyant posters! Rather, let rational thinking be your guide. J.B. J.C. Cagers Come Out Of Slump With Recent Win the apathy toward the school's activities on the part of many An informative lecture describing the newest surgical suturing technique was given to the PreMedical Society 001 Friday evening, January 3, in Conyngham Annex. Several of the stat? of the Singer Sewing Maching Company succeeded in portraying a graphic picture of the technique used by surgeons in suturing incisions. The suturing instrument is of a radical design, being at least six inches long with a detachable curved needle. A spool holding the thread is constructed so that it keeps the suture taut at all times. Since the needle is movable, the surgeon can sew at any possible angle hundreds of intricate knots, depending upon the type of incision. Among the other features of the instrument are its adaptability for either right or left hand and its universal use in all fields of surgery. It is unique inasmuch as it can be sterilized as one compact unit. The lecture was supplemented by motion pictures of an intellectual nature, following which the stu-. dents were given an opportunity to manipulate the iillstrument. All students interested in making the annual trip to Philadelphia with the society should contact Edward Burtsavage, president. The trip will be made on February 14.

Teelphone 2-3949 �FASHION IDGHLIGHTS Gertie Glamour is back again with more highlights in the world of fashions. Having stopped, looked, and listened, and admired the Bucknell co--eds for about a week, all we can say is that Santa Claus was mighty nice to some of them. For instance, take a peek at the numerous good-looking belts worn by the girls. There is Peaches Kaftan's red leather belt with two buckles; Louise Dodson's similar one with a bow for a buckle· Carolyn Jones' and Helen Krufka'~ red leather ones each with one buckle; and L;dia Blancodini's black patent belt with two buckles - all of the belts as wide as a dainty waist will permit. When it came to blouses we couldn't help noticing J e' a ,n Hughes' exclusive model. It's black silk with a high pointed collar cap sleeves, and button-down-the~ back. What's more, all over the fr_?nt are painted white cigarettes with red sequins as the lighted ends and smoke curling lazily up from them. It's quite the thing Marthta Hoyle has a black silk one, .too, with light green birdsin flight painted on it. Then th~re's Charlotte Najaka's wide stnped bLue and white blouse which ties at the neck. Not a blouse but nevertheless attractive s Evelyn Penaligon's blue and white plaid wool shirt. It just matches her eyes. A woman's dress, so we hear, should be long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be nteresting. We noticed three which exactly fit these qualifications Louise Dodson's white gabardine dress with gold buttons; Del Woynoski's grey flann~l dress with which she wears a wide tan leather belt· and Joan Wylie's aqua dress ~ith black stripes and a wide black patent leather belt. Something in the "different'' cl~ss is Naomi Hons' jerkin suit. Its a green skirt and a jerkin with a green back and a .g rey front upon which are' appliqued felt flowers.

Cromwell Thomas alone fevored a contest enthusiastically. "After the judging we'll shear all the whiskers and use them to stuff wrestling mats," said he. The Beacon extends Mr. Feelzwell a hearty welcome to the campus and wiB'hes him success in his work. However the Beacon feels it should warn the students that anyone who has a brush with Mr. Feelzwell will soon find himself worked up into a fine lather. Ed. Note. "Well said: that was laid on with a trowel.'' (As you Like It, Act I, Scene II, 1. 97) Authorship of the above tour de force is disclaimed by all members of the editorial, reportorial, busiess, and circulation staffs of this newspaper. Faculty members who have ·b een accustomed to complain about the efforts in whimsy which have occasionally been submitted to the Beacon ·b y student reporters are hereby cautioned against making unduly severe comments regarding the "Feelzwell" article. One never knows when he may be criticizing a colleague to his face. Herkimer V. (V for Victim [of what has yet to be determined]) Feelxwell, newly appointed instructor in exterior decorating, when interviewed by the Beacon reporter said he filnds the indigenous fauna of the campus most fascinating. Mr. Feelzwell is a former pupil of Prof. C. Lose Shaver at Nickem Junior Barber College. Herkimer FeelzweM admitted in the cutest of bashful manners that he never graduated from Nickem because ,he was a ·g ay young blade and took too many cuts. In order to save face the faculty asked him to take his mug elsewhere. When asked what extracurricular activity he would sponsor on the campus Mr. Feelzwell revealed that he had been tryilng to promote a whisker-growing contest among the male faculty members. "Why should the Thespians have all the fun?" he asked with his usual bashful aplomb. "But what difficulty I'm having in getting entrants !'' Then he told our reporter all of his troubles. Pop Gies' chief problem is in getting bis whiskers off each day, not in getting them on. Pop claims that Bach didn't wear a beard so why should he? V. B. Hall, iron man of physics, believes he is at present doing his bit. Mr. Hall's soup strainer is a blue ribbon specimen and his 1948 project includes a goatee, but until the blueprints are completed for that, he'll have no time for amateur productions. Mr. Feelzwell claims that Professor Hall cam really produce when he just WE ARE lets things grow. Mr. Richards and Dock Reif DISTRIBUTORS say that growing hair on their for faces is the least of their worries. "We have much higher asBUCKNELL pirations", they told Mr. Feelzwell in mournful harmony when JEWELRY approached to enter the contest. Easy Payments Doctor Ward of the genetics department says that Mr. Richards' mother was undoubtedly frightened by a billiard ball but that it is difficult to account for Doc Reif. Mr. Disque was invited to enter the contest but he contended that since he grew a beard several years ago when he had a Thespian role he should be disqualified as a professional.

DOLORES SEITCHEK - There aren't enough outstandi<ng activitites to hold the interests of the students.

ELEANOR KRYGER I feel that the student activities are not publicized enough to wanant a la!'ge attendance. MYRL STEELE - The majority of students live away from school amd have their main interests in outside activities. JOE' HUDAK - Mainly because the school is not yet a fouryear institution. After it becomes ·one the student body is more likely to center its interest around it. HERB LEVY - Since most of the students are local they retain interest in high schools.

The great event finally took place - Buckcriell's quintet broke a six-.g ame loosing streak last Saturday evening in the YMCA when it defeated, by an eightpoint margin, the quintet representing Wyoming Seminary. While the second win of the season for the Juinior Bisons was not the biggest thing that ever happened to collegiate basketball, it proved that the Bucknell quintet is still capable of and interested in winning ball games. meetings.

It is reported that the mats, recently purchased for the wresttling team, cost somewhere around $1,100. Does anyone still want to know where all the money goes?

The experience is centered among the men· in the upper weight divisions.

WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 .Bison Quintet Ready For Pottsville :student Body Gets New Constitution. :STUDENT ASSEMBLY OF SEVENTY APPROVES NEW CONSTITUTION IN FIFTEEN MINUTE SESSION Final Examination Schedule The Registrar's Office will soon release the final examination schedule. The office wishes each student to note that in case . of conflicts, the course with the. largest enrollment will prevail. Therefore, . th~ student should contact the instructor of the course with the smallest enrollment figure in order to arrange a special examination. The eni'ollmentt figure is indicated in the italil!s followin~ the course listed, i.e. Economics 10:i~En, rollment · 175. It is ' neees'sary that all arrangements for spe- · cial examinations be made with the faculty pri,o r to January 18. Classes will end on February . L Following several months of debate, discussion, rejections, and several assembly programs devoted entirely to constitutional · discussion, the student body of Bucknell University Junior Colleg~ this week unanimously accepted a new !Student Constitution. The necessity for a chanire from the old Wartime Student Constitu.tion .b ecame evident two semestera ago, when it was found that several points in that blueprint of student ·goveI\Ilment were obsolete and con~licted with the i~creased number ;ff students that flooded the college <;following the end of hostilities. ,. The first attempt at drawing up a .n ew constitution was made by 'the Student -Council of this institution. After sevei:'al weeks of work th~ couhcil presented what it considered . to be a fairly acceptable piece of work only to have ~t rejected .by the members of the stu,dent body wheri. it came 'u p for final approval at an assembly period. . . - 'l'he task of writin1t a new con'atituticin fe!r upon a special committee, elected by the various achools wnd classes in Bucknell. Almost immediately after election the apecia,l committee 'be'g ari work on writing the new cciristitu,t ion: Just . before the Christmas holidays the finished product was presented to the me:i:tibers of the ·studeht body ao that ii might be studied over the . yacation,, Last ' Tue~day . at .a apecial assembly, which saw· only about seventy members of t.h e i!n° stude,nt . enrollment show up, \he new constitution was presented for approval' arid vote. The ' new Hr~ constitution was accepted unanimously in the record breaking time of fifteen mi.nutes. The members of the Constitution Committee were present at the meeting and were willing to clear u,p any bad points of the new charter that might have been turned up. The members of the Constitutional Committee did . an excellent job in preparing this ~ew constitution. They worked to compose a constitution that would be satisfactory and entirely fair to the members of the junior college student body. The climax of their fairness in presenting this new constitution came when it was presented to the BUCKNELLIANS TO PLAY members of the student body before officially becoming the new ,ol?.ening· -the curtain on the 19.47 Buckn.ell Junior College Student Bucknell University Junior College · Constitution.

JUNIOR COLLEGE TO START TENNIS TEAM IN SPRING Buck,nell ' University Junior College Athletic Department announc~d this week that plans are underway at present to add another 11port to the already greatly expanded athletic program that is being enjoyed 1by this institution. The new addition to the sports activity achedule at the junior college will :be the formation of a tennis team. Coach George F. Ralston put the ~tamp of approval to the addition bf this new sport after he was 11pproached during the week by several tennis enthu•siasts of the junior college.

Two days later the junior college team journeyed to Scranbn where the freshman team from the University of Scrainton emerged victorious in a loosely-played- highscoring duel.

A few.rpontha ago, there wa,s a movie entitled "The Big Sleep", Up until now, we couldn't figure out the reason for the title-but last Tuesday morn_ing, .it came to us in a flash ~he "BLG IS LEEP'' was written for the students at BUJC .a nd the charasteristics for that play were those lethargic ;soritnaibulists who "skipped" the student assembly meeting 1(6ecause it wasn't compulsory') called for the purpose of ,rlitifying the new ConsUtution. The majority of ,the student body missed a lesson in real democracy when Chairman John Riley, in a brilliant example of oratory, presented the Constitution to the assembled 'b?<fy for its vote. Chairman Riley made it plain that the Crina,titutional Committee was merely present to clarify any doubtful IJ)Oints, if any, and not to defend it-the new Constitution co·uld stand on its own merits. However, the absence of a large portion of students definitely points to their lazy, lackadaisical attitude towards school affairs. When students exhibit laCJk of pride in their school, they're also displaying a lack of pride in themselves. W4at's wrong with us - have we been bitten by the t~tse fly? Or don't we give a "hoot"? Remember-it's that latter attitude that helped give rise to W oriel War II. Let's wake up, students! The dawn is breaking and this isn't the time to pull a ~ip Van Winkle. . . 1 THE COLLEGE SPORTS INDUSTRY Are college sp8rts becoming a business? Thi,s question has been asked quite frequently of late and as yet no one has come up with sufficient evidence to swing the answer to either yes or no. During the recent football season we heard many charges against various schools throughout the country which stated that, one wa:y or another the college in question was making ~ business out of the grid sport. Somewhere between the time the English started the ga:me of football by kicking around the skruU of a Dane and the first under-the-table hand-out to a college gridster, the game was taken away from the gridders and put into the hands of shrewd behind-the-scene businessmen. It definitely started to lean toward the business angle and away from the Sportsmen's idea of the game. · As the situation stands today everyone must admit that t,he business of handing out side gifts to better than average gridders in order to lure them to a certain college has gotten out of hand. It's true that scholarships have helped good many boys receive educations that otherwise mi.ght have been impossible. This situation is tops and ,should be continued, but the blacik mark comes when colleges begin to r.iot only offer reasonable scholarships, but toss in an apartµient, car, several thousand dollars, and tie the whole thing up iby giving the prize gridder a real tough job like winding the clock in the boy's gym. Naturally, the clock being one 9f those eight-day affairs and requiring a considerable amount of the gridder's time, it pays a fairly good weekly waige. a 1 RESOLUTIONS FOR 1947 Since the new year is only ten days old and everyone has, more than likely, recovered from even the most violent forms of celebrating, there is no reason in the world why the student body shouldn't be . • w1 11 mg to adopt a few resolutions for 1947. 1. Let's stop smoking in the Presbyterian •C hurch house. The notice in the last issue of the Beacon · stating that smoking in that building was prohi,b ited was not written to fill up space. 2. Try to be a little more thoughtful in the cafeteria, espe•eially during the crowded lunch period. Although it is taken for granted that everyone eats before he comes to school in the morning, even the most powerful of human beings desires to consume a l"ttl 1 e some th'mg a b ou t f our h ours after breakfast. It's very discouraging to stand in the cafeteria watching- the precious minutes tick away while some unintentional joker is ,p layful1y sailing the crumbs of his sandwich around in his saucer. Confine all such ...naval operations to the late afternoon when the cafeteria takes on all the aspects of Old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. 3. How are the chances of the male population becoming a. little more courteous to the weaker sex? Naturally, there's ,no · reason for concealing a choice mud puddle with your new red and white checkered sport coat in Sir Waiter Raleigh fashion , but holding the door, picking up books, or bidding the time of day to the little lady may revive the long dead chivalry. 4. Let's not give vent to you r wrath in the boy's lounge by makin!!' ki,n g size -toothpicks out of the new cue sticks just after you, have lost a game of pool. Be brave, losing a game of pool happens to the best of people, but breaking the tools of the game may prevent you from winning some other time. If worst comes to worst, go over in the corner, hold your •b reath and count to one thousand, get real mad a,nd eat worms, or punch the smallest guy in the lounge in the nose, but please don't break u,p those nice new cues. 5. Let's support the athletic teams of the college. When you go to a contest and you witness an exceptionally fine play, let the men kinow that you, enjoyed it. Yelling doesn't bother the players one bit. Those people jumping up and down and making wild, fantastic motions with their arms are cheerleaders. They are not there for the amusement of the people who have lost interest in the athletic contest, but were created for the sole purpose of leading the cheeri,ng section. 6. Let's not make fun of the engineers who are constantly surveying the river common. They've been doing that for years and the latest word has it that the project is just about complete. 7. Let's support Bucknell activities. Sports dances are not held for the ·pu11po11e of givi.n&' the Bucknellians practice. They don't need it, but might develop an inferiority complex if they see the same faces (although they be nice, the number is small) at each affair. 8. Last, but not least, when you belong to an organization give it you,r full support. After all, when the bows are to be taken and the organization has counted on about a dozen to accept the credit, it gets crowd ed when the stage becomes full of people bending at the waist. It's very discouraging to see some unfamiliar characters taking part in the exercises. SEASON'S RESULTS Friday, January 10, 1947 FINAL REGISTRATION The final registration period will be held in the Reception Room of Chase Hall the week of January 20 through January 25. Each student is requested to call at the Reception Room to obtain his or her trial registration form from Miss Brennan in •order to complete the registra• tion during this time. It is necessary that each student register in order to be admitted to classes for the following semester. It is also of the utmost importance in the case of veterans to register during this time in order that the 11chool may report these registrations to the Vetera1U1 Bureau.

It is likely that a larger crowd would have attended had the weather been more clement. Though the city temple proved to be much less satisfactory than the Country Club in Dallas, where Bucknell held its previous dance, it was probably fortunate that the affair was held in this area on that particular night -b ecause of its convenient location. The hall was colorfully decorated with a Christmas tree in the center of the dance floor and with ether yuletide decorations placed throughout the hall. Jack Barrett and hi ■ orchestra played for the aancera. The purpose of the dance was to ebtain enough money to buy sweaters and letters for the lettermen. In spite of their efforts the lettermen did not receive enough funds to accomplish their pu?IJ)ose. BUCKNELLIANS PLAY AT NEW YEAR'S DANCE On December 31, the Bucknellian■ provided music for a New Year's Eve party and dance held by the Young People's Association ef St. Stephen's Church. The affair took place in the church house on South Franklin Street and dancing eontinued from 9 :30 to 1 :30. A good time was had by all, and the music was enjoyed by everyone present. Besides providing music for dancing the band also . preii'ented a few extra features. The most outlltanding of these was presented by the "band within the band", Schultz's Hungry Five, when they rendered - some rare German music, especially for Professor GU,g1renschlucker-Heinamenschmittel. Reese Pelton, leader of the Bucknellians, was featured at the piano, and vocals were handled by Johnny Martin.

Naturally, this fact alone will sell the record, but buyers will also be pleased with the excellent ballad on the other side. It's called "Heaven Knows". Local Notes-If you want to hear one of the best vocalists in Wyoming Valley dig Mickey Carvel singing with Lee Vincent. I'd advise you to do it soon, ,b ecause Mickey is big time material, and shouldn't be around here long if he desires to better himself . . .Charlie Gittens, trumpet player with the Buckmellians (the cine who smokes while he plays), also has what it takes to go piaces ... By the time you read this, Duke Ellington's newest, "Just Squeeze Me" should be sweeping the country. Don't miss Jack Melton',s renditeon. Hats OffThis issue's Hats Off award goes to Harry James for continuing to feature Willie Smith on alto. Considering that Harry has a reputation to ,p rotect, he is doing a lot to prove that there isn't any room for Jim Crow in the music business, and he is setting a fine example for other band leaders to follow. This time men are in the fashion spotlight. Just because no o.ne looks to see what the groom is wearing at the wedding, men needn't think they don't have to be fashion conscious. Around our campus we've noted that men are again wearing the N orwegia,n sweaters which the women almost took from them. The comebacks are louder and heavier than ever. For example there's that brown, yellow, and red one that Jim Catnes has been wearing. Bold-plaid shirts are now in widespread use. Originally worn by lumbermen or miners, they are .now worn ,b y college men everywhere; usually in a plaid, but sometimes in a c,heck de11ign. Haven't you noticed Bill Arthur's red and black "Shawnee" plaid or Buddy Klesa's brown and green one? These shirts have conventional sports collars that can be worn with a knit or wool necktie. Speaking of ties, we saw J 0>1 Liehtman's 1c.d, white, and bla,·k number a mile away. Ted Harwood isn't doing so ,b adly with his Sinatra styled ties, either. A typical campus suit is Hank Anderson's green one. It has a dark green coat and green striped trousers. It certainly is a change from the many colored army shirts which are flourishing right now! The bookstore will close for all sales as of tomorrow. This includes both cash as well as veterans' sales. It is necessary that the bookstore close at this date in order to take inventory and close its accounts with the Veterans Administration before the beginning of the February semester.

I +-··-·•-11•-··-··-··-··-··-··-··-··-·-··-··-··-··-·-··-----··-·----+ • By MORAN T CAROLYN JONES NELDA BROUNSTEIN After starting off the winter sports program by winning the first game of the !basketball season, Bucknell's quintet suddenly began looking for a monkey wrench that became tangled in its cage machinery. Judging from the results of the last contest, which saw the junior college five go down to defeat at the haaids of the University of -Scranton Freshman team, the tool is still causing both the coach and the team plenty of worry. The trouble, according to several members of the squad, seems to lie in the fact that several members of the squad have banded together while others remain independent. Needless to say, this doesn't help our chances in so far as winning games is concerned. Let's get down to business and play the game for the sport's sake, not for individual glory. No team ever finished a season successfully without the two most important items in sports. sportsmanship and teamwork. Carolyn Jones , affe cti o,n ately dubbed "Jon sey" , is a native of Wil kes -Barre. Laru,y n is s tric t ly an outdoor girl. She loves the snow and a good snowba •l fight ..Jonsey has traveled a great deal and enjoys it. Sh 2 likes semi-classical and popular music. She love,- to dance, especially with a certain aiavy man. Her favorite sport is basketball. Jonesy is always ready to battle with a good dish of spaghet ti. In her spare time she knits and reads. Carolyn's ambition is to g raduate and teach history. Because she loves to talk we are sure she will be successful in thi s field . JOHN MILANO J ohnny Milano, well - known around the camp us for his contagious laugh, wa s born in WilkesBarre. During the war he was an arm or-gunner on a B-24 in the 8th Air Force. John's likes are music and non-fiction books. His hobby is ph otography . Johnny believes that the best w~.y to obtain an educat ion is t o travel. He e,njoys watching football games, boxing and wres tling matches. He likes an all-around girl with plenty of person ality. Joh n's favorite subject is political science which is understandable since he aspires to be a lawyer. SPORT COATS Plain Colors and Plaids TROUSERS Gabardines and Coverts -AT- LEVENTHAL'S 2 EAST MAIN STREET, NANTICOKE, PA. Nelda Brounstein, more commonly known as "Nell", hails from Endicott, New York. At this point Nell's one ambition is to pass psycholog y. In her spare time she likes to listen to records and to l'ead. "For Sentimental Reasons" is her favorite popular piece. Nelda is known fo1; her ·constant talking and wide griai. When asked what her favorite food was, she cast her vote for steak. Nell's ideal man must be tall, dark, a _good dancer and above all, must have personality. Coach George Ralston has his hands full at present with the basketball team and duties connected with his new position as Dean of Men. There has been no word from college authorities to date concerning the appoi.ntment of an assistant to Ralston, but it is expected that an annauncement will be made shortly as several people have been interviewed for the •p osition, but nothing definite has bee111 decided .upon. Our guess is that a man now coaching at one of the township Dr. C. B. Reif Attends ·1ffgh s.chools will be named as RalBoston AAAS Meeting ston's new assistant. Dr. Ch:i rles Braddock Reif, member of Bucknell's biology department, has returned to school with many interesting stories and facts a bout •his holiday experiences. Dr. Reif spent three days of his Christmas vacation in Boston. His reason for goilllg to Boston was to attend t.he o,n e hundred thirteenth meet1 n-~ of the American. Association fo1· the Advancement of Science and Cooperating Associated Societies. Thes e meetings and sessions were held December 26 to 31, 1946. Dr. Reif also attended the Lim.nological Society and the Ecological socie '. ies' meetin gs. Th e purpose of the A.A .A.S. is tn further the advancement of science. Every year at these meetings men . ·o f' science meet at sessions of their respective interests, studies, and fields to present research on their discoveries during the year . It wa s at these meeti,ngs and discussions that Dr. Reif obtained hi story and information about research, which will be used in his lectures. The newly o.rgamized Bucknell Lettermen's .Club is still trying to figure out how much it made on its ·recently sponsored Christmas dance, held December 20, at the Irem Temple. Jerry Munzing, chairI11an in charge of dance arranges ments, woul<l like all lettermen, who have 111ot mad·e their returns, to do us as soori as possible. · It would be a nice gesture on th~ part of the college to provide the Lettermen's Club with the balance of the money it will need to purchase eit,her sweaters or jackets for the forty meni.bers of the organization. Friday, Jantiaty 10, 1947 LETTERS TO EDITOR MUST BE SIGNED It was announced in the last issue of the Bucknell Beacon that all letters sent to the Letters to the Editor Column must be signed. Although this has not been the policy of the Beacon in previous issues, we feel that any person who has something to say, either for or against something or someone, should be willing to stand behind his statements. Initials will be used on all Letter To the Editor if it is requested, but in all cases the full name must be signed to every article submitted for publica- tion.

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.

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.

FRANK CLARK Jeweler 63 South Main Street �BUOKNELL BEACON Page Four Friday, Nov.e mber 1, 1946 =============================~==========~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-; Tonight is one of the biggest nights in the athletic history of Bucknell University Junior, College. 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.

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.

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.

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.?

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. It's up to you! ~VOl:2T~ u~~co~ By .~•ORAN The first official grid team in the right, the !~cal lads w·iLJ take home history of Bucknell University the victo·ry.

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.

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. Their topic was "Is the United Nations Organization Constructed Adequately to Preserve Peace?" 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~. Mrs. Brenna!1, :"ho has super~1sed t~e ca~eteria m the past, will contllnue m her •p ost. 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 will have classrooms aind offices. It is also likely that the bookstore will be located at this same address. The dining room for both men and women will be at 154 South River street. Other rooms in this The first football game between Bucknell Junior College and Scranton-Keystone, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, October 12, at Scrainton, will provide this institution with a great deal of pre-game activities.

The •b uses will, more than likely, leave the school ·b t h d f h a, ou noon on t e ay o t e contest and arrive at the Scranton stadium in plenty of time for the t even · building will be used for faculty offices and apartments. The garages in the rear of 154, 158 and 164 South River street are being completely altered for use as mathematics rooms. They will have tile floors and f)uQrescent lighting. 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 will be at war· with Russia within one year. You may quote me on this!" Miriam Golightly, B. A., WilkesBarre. "I believe that war with Ru.ssia is very probable, although I am of the opinion that it can be avoided if we call Russia's bluff." Fred B. Shultz, B. A., Plymouth. "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?

The mystery band of the business can't sell records and has to dodge one 111ighters and theatres ,because it can't draw the fans.

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. It was up to those students to transport the other less-fortunates around to the various n ·a. eg during the downpour. Adding to the excitement of the day was the fact that Hazard Wire Rope Company was also holding its al!Jnual outing. Without a doubt their affair wasn't one bit better than that held by this institution, except for the fact that they had made previous provisions for entertainment Mr. Mor;·is and Mr. Thomas ch 111peroned the affa ir and Miss Gittens and Reese Pelton were in ·c harge of tickets. .

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.

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.

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.
