WILKES-BARRE, PE~NSYLV ANIA FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1946 Sports Program Grovvs O"iIGINAL MUSICAL TO BE PRODUCED Since last -s emester plans have been underway to produce a musical comedy at BUJC. The show to be produced is to be an original one based on a familiar theme. Last semester work on the dances and musical portion of the production was 'begun. In a comparatively short time there will be a call •for soloists, chorus, stage crew, musicians, dancers, and other participants. When the call is jssued be sure to join the cast and enjoy the rehearsals and . parties that are being placrined. This extravaganza is .being planned and developed on a large scale, 'and on ly with student cooperation can it become the overwhelming success that it shows the promise of becoming. No professional experience is neededonly a willingness to rehearse. The musical score is about one half completed, and the book is being written at this time. Twenty dancers have already begun rehea-r sals of four of the dances. Anyone interested especi,ill_y in the prodction end o~ s·uch a venture should immediately get in contact with the writers: Miss Sangiuliano, book; Reese Pelton, music; John Martin, lyric-s. Bucknelf University has already :Produced , several musical shows which were tremendous successes. Tli s will,,' however, be the fir st attel\'lpt of its kind ·at BUJC. In addition to the local production staff m~ny outsiders interested in the n;nture have enthusiastically volmteered their assistance, so let'~ al do our ,best to produce successfilly Bucknell's first original musi1al .by joining the cast when the cd is issued.

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

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

The Cabaret Party had its origin in a merting of the Student Council last summer when members of ,that organization were searching for something new in the entertainment fidd. At that time it was decided that a nightclub style party had great potentialities, and plans were made to hold an old-fashioned one. Accordingly the event was held as scheduled and was a tremendous success. The theater was decorated lilce a nigh,cdub and tables were set up around a dance floor. All men wore handlebar mustaches which were distributed at the door. An alltudent orchestra directed by Howie Oinstel provided music for dancing and the floor show. The party was such a success that the following semester another cabartt•s-tyled party was held on January 25th in die First Presbyterian C h u r ch House. Music was supplied by Pelton's Collegians, an eight-piece orchestra, which played for dancing as well as the floor show. Entertainment included Spencer & Rapc:zynski, comedians; the Famous Four, a quartet that burlesqued radio commercials; Bogwzewslci, the Happy Tramp; Callahan ~ ,Burtsa~age, do, �Promptly a·t 9:00 o'clock the show began.

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

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

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

Robert Smt1JtJOn repkced Dave Street on the Jack Haley radio show. Bob is Dick Hayme's brother and has been making "H" pictures aJt: Columbia afrer graduating from the bands of Orrin Tucker and Freddy Mar.tin. This i:s tihe break he needs <to atta:in fame without the use of his bronher' s name. The Pdlk fomrily is a busy and versartile group as the following activities poitllt •Out. Lucy Ann sings with Ray Kyser, brother Gordon does the same with Bob Crosby, and Vernon has a radio spot with Harry Zimmerman's band. Once a week they get together t o form the Town Criers who are featured -o n ,t he Ford air show. In addition they make records. In their spare ,time they rehearse . This may start a controversy, but I personally think that Don Brown, with Tommy Tucker, is tihe best vocalist with a band. I offer any of his records as proof. that it's the voice of Martha M.ears, popular ra-dio song·socess, that you're actually hearing. The "DoLl Face" thait Perry ·Como carries a ,t orch for in the picture of ,t he same name, is the same Mar.tha Stewiar,t who chir'Ped for Glenn Mi:Mer and Claude Thorn hi'11. Incide111tally, the story of -t his picture was authored by Gypsy Rose Lee . Perhaps the reiason th.a.t ithe current ballad, "If I Had a W ,i hing Ring", has such a beautiful tune •is .thait: it w-as wri·t t.cn by Louis Alter, who wrote the memorable music for "Trail of the Loniesome Pine". Watah tlh e Buddy Mo rrow band go pla ,s ! Th y have been chosen as ,th e "Band of -t he year" and boast s ve,ra:l ex-name personnel , :such as Carl Denny, who sang with Hal McIntyre, and Johnny M;icAfee, former Harry Jam es vocal<i:st and ·s ax man. Som et1hing new and differetllt in ,the v:o oal field is Alan Gerard with George Barry. The hand is get:1:'ing a '1ot of a,i,n time which is a good thing for an up and coming singer. Do you remember the ,tune to ,the oldie, "Picking Cherries Under a Strawberry Moon" ? Compare it to ithe recently popular "Atlantic G. A." and note the amazing resemhlance. Tony Martin, who has an MGM aantract and an occasional record,ing date w1tih Mercury Records, has one of <the mos.t "Listen.able" radio shows on the air. If you like smooth singing, he's on Saiturday nights. If the background music kept you "Spellbound" ,throughou,t th e picture , give the credit ,t o Milkos Rosza, who received the academy award f.or his effort5. The award for ,t he best picture song wetllt •t o Richard Rodgers for his "Lt Might As Well Be Spring" from "State Fair". Lou Anne Hogan, who sang the song for Jeanne Gr,l'iin in ,t he piiotuire, looks as well as she sings. Peter DeRose must have done a slow burn when "You Won't Be Saitisfied" became a hit. It was a d·ireot steal from his "Never a D -a y Goes By". "Seems Lik,e Old Times" sounds like "It's Been So Long" and "Gypsy" i5 too reminiscent of Bob Warren's "Ciity Galled Heaven". In a recen,t poll "Stardust" was ohos-en as the greaitest popular song o.f all time. I can't think of ·a better choice, can you? In case you',r e interested, Beverly Byrne singing w1th Randy Brooks is Buddy Stewant's sis,ter. Gene Howard s,i nging with Srtan Ken•t on is perhaps the only band one musical qua111ry or the appearance ,o f the group. Sister Marilyn, who sings and looks like Louise, is fiMing in. Teddy Powell is s•t arting off a new band veruture w1th a worse name than Krupa had. Fans are forgivin~, however, and Teddy ™Lrh his kniack of formi,ng good bands , wiLI be back in the spotlight soon . Art Lund, who sang with Goodman before he went into service, ha-s been s,i gned by Benny again. In his many years of band busines,s B. G. has had very f.ew male vocaLiists and ,t hat in iitself is an endorsement -o f Art since Benny has quite a reputation for pichng talent. Charles ~renet, muoh publicized French singer made his radio debut on the Su,pper Club. He didn',t measure up to advance notices. Oscar Hammerstein II at fifty is a success and kn.o wn as "Mister Hit". He has five shows running on Broadway at once. H ·e previously worked with Kern and is now putting words •to Richard Roger's mu'Sic. Lrving Ber•l in's song, "Doing Wnat Comes Natchedy", has been banned from some of the netwo•r ks. I don't know why, but ,t hat's a sure way of making 1t a hit. oompostti1on we mean. Some of the other joys of Andy's life are thick juicy steaks ( try and get rtJhem), cherry cokes, popular music, and, last but not least, people and ,t he world in general.

"Baby" is already a hit and "Promise", on the reve rse, looks as though it may make the hit class aiso, the same way that "I'll Be Around" on the back of "Paper Moon" became popular. LES BROWN "I've Got the Sun in the Morning" "It Couldn't Be True" "True" is a very catchy song well sung by a newcomer, Jack Haskell. Doris Day lends her local talents to "Sun", one of ,t he brighter tunes getting a lot of attention. This is one of the last records that Doris will make with the band. She leaves for Hollywood soon. MARGARET WHITING "Come Rain Or Come Shine" "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" Both tunes are excellent and well done by Miss Whiting. Her practice of singing out is so refreshing compared to the " run of the mill" girl vocalists who specialize in subduing and dragging out their tones, trying to produce a novel effect.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With a business world that is subject to constant change, business pursuers must be prepared a·t all ,nmes -t o cope satisfactorily with the standards and trends ot modern business. One great help for the highschool and college students to seek an opportunity for super• v,i sed trairung in selling was the Goerge-Ueen Aot, passed by Congress. This act provides for financial aid for cooperative education in disotributive occupations. Business education is one ot the most rapidly growing areas in the school curriculum.

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

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

This board was prominently located so that a maximum number of men would see it without going out of their way. Similarly such a board should be initiated at Bucknell. This current affair display could be place·d in Chase Hall. Each week one or two important topics would be projected. Both sides of any question would receive equal atten,t ion, thus giving every s,t udent a well-rounded picture of the disputed issue. With such a visual aid, the students will be able to come out of -t he mist a·n d fog of uncertainty.

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

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

HISTORY The other day as I was on my way to the library, I overheard two prominent freshmen engaged in the following conversation: First 'F rosh - How are you making out in His,t ory? Second Ditto-Not too badly now. I was confused for a time with ,t hose Greek characters. First-Ye,s I can understand the situat ion. I have just begun to become more familiar with the course. Second-Did you get tha,t part where Rameses, the ruler of Egypt led his people on the second crusade to the Holy Lands to attend the meeting of ,t he First Triumvirate which consisted of Marc Anthony, Na,poleon, and St. Patrick? First-Yes, but the part I was really interested in was the Peloponesian War when ,th:o s.e forty Trojans took their stand at Waterloo and defeated the French army led by Henry VIII. If some army tanks had been sent in ,t he archers would have been routed. -Fine- dence o.t this thmkm,g , the statement of a service man in a letter addressed ·t o me: "I can'.t see how you figure 'it is not fantastic to state -that young people of ,t he world can come ,t ogether and consequently doom war for eternity.' In the first place you have only seen the young people in America. You don',t know whait •t hey ,t hink or how .t hey feel in the rest of the world. The world is not at rest riow and won't be. No nation trusts any •o ther nation. The invention of the atomic bomb ihias made America more unpopular than ever before, a~d in five years every nation will know the secrets of a,t omic energy.

T BUCKNELL MARKS 100TH ANNIVERSARY Bucknell University signalized its 100th anniversary with a rededication of the school's charter on February 5. The ceremony took place at Governor Martin's office in Harrisburg. President -H etibert L. Spencer and the Governor were attired in mid-nineteenth century costume. The ceremony was witnessed by State officials, the University's trustees, and representatives of B u ck n e 11' s 11,000 alumni throughout the nation. Bucknell ,originally known as theh Univer sity at Lewisburg, came into legal existence when Governor Francis R. Shunk signed the charter previously approved by the State Legislature.

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

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

Seriously, I thought this lecture the most interesting part of our visit.-Caryl L. Galow. The Pre-Medical Club of Bucknell University Juni9r College, under the guidance of Dr. Lenore Ward, conducted a trip to Philadelphia recently. The groups visited the Fels Planetarium of the Franklin Institute, heard a lecture on the constellations of the universe and viewed planets, moon, Mars arid Saturn, through the Planetarium telescopes. Main purpose of the trip was a visit to the anatomical laboratory of University o-f Pennsylvania's Medical School. At the laboratory, a demonstration of the gross anatomy of the human body was performed by Dr. Clark of the faculty. The following students attended: Daniel Williams, Dolores Gale, Irene Wienchowski, Mr. and Mrs. John Hayes, Dolores Shiner, Gloria G . Shiner, Frances Wentzel, Grace Alpaugh, Dolores Seitchek, Dolores Vinesky, Marian Reid, Caryl Galow, Bruno Bujno, James P. Flynn, Preston J.

She described in some detail the points of scenic interest and told of the conditions which gave evidence of the impending war. Following the speech Mrs. Long was asked questions by those attending the meeting while refreshments were served. At the last meeting of the International Relations Club which was held on Thursday, February 28, sound motion pictures on France were shown.

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

Leave Her to Heaven is based on a Ben Ames Williams novel, and is the dramatic story of a cruel, psychopathically jealous woman's love for one man. Gene Tierney plays the wife, with Cornel Wilde cast as her husband. She stops at nothing, including murder, to try to keep him. Jeanne Crain, as the younger sister who loves her brother-in-law and finally brings him happiness, proves that crime does not pay.

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

THE KING'S GENERAL Daphne du Maurier The setting of The King's General is the beautiful Devon coast in the time of Charles I. Honor Harris decides to marry Sir Richard Granville, but an accident prevents the wedding. Later, he again asks her to marry him and she refuses. However, separation and disaster could not break the strong love between Honor and Richard. Richard is a fearless, daring, and loyal general who was able to win battles and campaigns but also he was a man who brought no peace to those who loved him. Honor looked forward to later life with peace and quiet; Richard was dauntless and carried on the adventures of his youth. Honor risked everything for him-her reputation and the esteem of her family as well as her personal comfort and security. The house was pillaged and sacked in the search for the hidden chamber, but she was loyal to King Charles a·nd did not betray her trust. The plot of The King's General is partly based on fact gathered from old records as well as fiction. It is a story of brave and violent deeds, one of trusts and loyalties that could not be betrayed. iii'-f& ff'E"::F') .£,·· - W &m..:iZZ We will PRINT ANY AMATEUR POETRY Who's Who If you see musical instruments around, ten to one Reese Pelton is also in the vicinity. He is an accomplished pianist, and is also familiar with almost e v e r y other band instrument. His ideal woman is one who is intelligent and a good conversationalist. His favorite subject? History. Reese spends his spare time ( a B. A. with spare time?) arranging music. He plans to become an advertising manager or a journalist. As for the former, we can' t say, but he has already made strides toward the latter career. Formerly the business manager, Reese has recently been appointed editor of the Beacon. Anyone happening to look in the Quant lab of Conyngham is sure to see Stuart Hettig working busily at one of his numerous " unknowns" . He is now taking a co u rs e in Chemical Engineerin~ but he still has time to think about his pet ambition-getting a job flying. During the war "Stu" was an instructor in the W. F. T. C., where he taught Chinese and American cadets as well as graduate fighter pilots. He is engaged to the girl of his dreams -her name's Nadine. Of course you can't miss knowing Ruth Lewis, that charming student of theC&F course . Ruth likes activityh er favor ite sport is 1ceskating, a n d she even en- Everyone knows Ed W asilewski. At least, quite a number of co-eds know him. Incidentally, if you want to be a friend of his, act naturally. E~ likes all: sorts of people, except t h o s e who are narr o w - minded. This gentleman from the Heights is a Chopin enthusiast. J:le also likes to spend his spare time dabbling in philosophy asd politics. Ed's ambition is success in the business world. With his personality and charm, he's bound to succeed. One of the college's charming co-eds is Shirley Mason. She comes from · South River Street ( right in B. U. J. C's back yard). Shirley tells us she's fond of popular music, especially when played by Harry James. ~o~ Page Three YOUTH HOSTELING A you,t h hostel is a building which is the destination of hostelers after a day of hiking and cycling-"going on one's own steam." Here houseparents open welcoming door,s. Passes are checked and hostelers prepare the evening meal. Attached to many youth hotels is a recreation room which affords an opportunity for square dancing. Most of the recreation rooms have fireplaces around which the hostelers gather to swap snapshots and souvenirs, to tell of the day's journey, to sing, and above aJ.l, to better understand each other. Eleven years ago this program was introduced to America by a young married couple, Isabel and Monroe Smith. Its grow.th has been slow, but ,the enthU1Siasm which accompanied its entrance into •t he New England region, the Great Lakes area, the MidAtlantic states and the Pacific coast states assures its eventual permanent estabilishment. The goal set by th e national headquar.ters at Northfield, Massachusetts, is 5,000 youth hostels. Th,e present number is about 250. Tihe goal is also 10,000,000 pass-holders. The prese1lit number is about 116,000. Onward, A. Y. H.! -Ralph Beane. 1 ---~*---- l to:'ie n to be tall, blonde, and possessing a keen sense of humor to get in Shirley's good graces. Stampcollecting is what she does in the spare time allotted her from the C & F course. Her main ambition is to pass shorthand. Her pet peeve? People who can' t take a joke. WE WELCOME ALL CRITICISM AND Don't Forget the SCHOOL OUTING This Saturday IREM TEMPLE COUNTRY CLUB The Sporting Record By James P. Flynn It certainly is great to watcn the "Bee-Jays" play ball tn,~ season. Their schedule is completed and the 1:eam has compiled an excellent record. It was during the York game that the present joke among m._ 'varsity players began. Jim Campbell became so excited during the game that he got tht names of -the varsity players a little twisted. The "Bee-Jay· varsity now consits of Joss and Mohns, guards; and Swartek and W eetwood, forwards. Bill Zukausky escaped the namechanging somehow. Probably Jim couldn't do any better than ~e present collittaotion of Zukausky' s name, "Zuk." The second -team looks promising. In the Keystone game, for instance, the scrubs did very well. The biggest surprise of that game was Dominic Y anchunas. Dom, after putting his jersey on backwards several times, leaped into the game and scored three points. We understand there is quite a bit of talk among the players about Stanley Hall's "ballet" shot. Doug MacNeil and Bob Wentz are of the opinion that Stan is receiving private instruction from Miss Sangiuliano. The "Bee-Jays" lost their varsity forward when Ed Witek was called into the Navy. The team and everyone who knew Ed will miss him. It's too bad he couldn't remain here until the basketball season were over. Doug MacNeil has also left our college. He intends to return for the summer session. Our six cheerleaders are as good as the team, as anyone can plainly see. See, that is. They went through a clever new cheer at the Keystone game which ended like this: B--U-C-KN-E-L-L! That's the way you spell it; here's the way you yell it!

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

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

Members of the team are Edithe Rudolph, Ruth Sandler, John Riley, Robert Sakoski, Reese Pelton, Frank Anderson, Ralph Beane and Al Dervinis. This organization has been divided into two groups of four each, so that each group will alternate with the other in broadcasting. The two topics being prepared by the team for their first broadcasts are "National Peacetime Conscription," and "The Effectiveness of the United Nations." The first broadcast is expected to take place in the near future. Dr. Nicholson will again be adviser and moderator. ---*-·- - - SORORITY HOLDS ANNUAL DINNER Beta Gamma Chi, Women's Sorority of the Junior College, held their annual Buffet Dinner on January 4th in the Presbyterian Church House from 6 to 8 o'clock.

Everyone joined in song during the meal, and the dinner ended with the strains of "'Goodnight, Ladies" lingering on the air. ...... _ •• _ . . . . ., • • ..., , , • • . , ..., ................................... 1' .... , Mathilde Janeway. She becomes·involved in her own story when Patton reveals his hatred and · threatens to kill her. However, she triumphs when after being freed by Joyce, the real Miss Janeway, she nonchalantly hits Patton with a bottle and later discovers the real boss, Hagen, is masquerading as a Coast Guardsman. The mystery gradually unravels as Joyce reveals that she and Arbuthnot had been on the trail of the liquor gang for months, but had to search for specific evidence. Al'buthnot, Mr. Temple, and eventually Dr. Russell had been killed by the greedy Patton. Belinda gets the reward and ,nee again can dream of owning the Grand Hotel. And all this happens to a girl in one profitable night. HELP WANTED Can you dance, sing, play an instrument, or act? Are you a comedian, a magnician or an acrobat?

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

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

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

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

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

Wyrtzen entered this work with fervor, arranging Youth For Christ rallies around the country, but particularly in New York City.

Mr. Campbell is an experienced basketball player himself. While in the armed forces, Mr. Campbell played basketball for his service outfit. He should make an excellent coach. The first practice session found twenty-four men trying out for the team. But due to the time element and personal difficulties, ten of them found it necessary to drop out of the line-up. In the remaining fourteen players, however, lies a serious threat to ,my opposition the team may encounter on its schedule. On the average, the team is not composed of tall men, but _what the team lacks in height is fully compensated in speed. Virtually all members of the team have had scholastic experience. Ed Witek played varsity for Newport H. S., and B,ill Johns played outstanding basketball for the 1942 G . A. R. quintet. Swartwood, Zukausky, Lovendusky, Rauscher, Renzi, Moss, Brown, and McNeal have had experience also. Blight, Wentz, Panek, and Sullivan, although inexperienced, show plenty of basketball ability. The probable varsity squad will be composed of the following players: Swartwood and Witek, forwards; Zukausky, center, and Lovendusky and Johns, guards. The team has an interesting schedule prepared for them. The dates of the games have not been completely arranged as yet. The first game, however, was played December 15, with Dickinson Junior College, in the Y . M. C. A. gymnasium in WilkesBarre. Other teams on the BeeJ ays' schedule are: Wyoming c;: __ ;_____ V --1, T.. ~:-- r - tl o ~o KNOW YOUR VETERANS Presenting that popular exNavy man and president of the Freshman class, Joseph Harv- ard.

Last year a group visited the Wistar Institute. Dr. Clark, -head of the Gross Anatomy Department of the University of Pennsylvania, showed the group some dissections of the human anatomy. The trip is planned for , o'clock on Friday. A bus has been chartered and reservations made at the Y . M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Approximately the same schedule has been planned for this year. The group will visit the University of Pennsylvania campus, Fels Planetarium, and Wistar Institute. Arrangements are being made to see the Sister Kenny treatment for infantile paralysis. The remaining time will be spent on various amusements. ----*·---- THE ENGINEER'S CLUB On Monday, November 27, the Engineer's Club held a meeting in the drafting room of Conyingham Hall for the election of officers. After the votes had been counted, it was seen that Edward Meyers, "that genial gentleman from Nanticoke," had succeeded Doris Raub as president of the club; Steve Elick had succeeded Ralph Weaver as vice-president, and Ralph Weaver had succeeded Bill Ellis as secretary-treasurer. We are sure that you will manage the affairs of the club with wisdom and foresight, so "the best of luck in the future." THE CHORAL CLUB The Choral Club, consisting of more than fifty mixed voices, presented its yearly Recital-Party on Friday, December 21, from 2:30 to 5 P. M. The recital, which was held in Chase Theatre, was followed by the serving of refreshments and dancing in Chase Hall. The program consisted of duets by Doris Smith and Helen Bitler and solos by Helen Bitler. The choir presented "Ave Verum" by Josquin Des Pres, "Chant Noel," a French carol "Come Shepherds Lowly," a Bo: hemian carol, "Voices Heard We From the Sky," a French carol, and "Good Night," a folk song. Another important event was a program of Christmas music presented over WBRE Thursday, ' December 20, from 12:30 to 12:45 P . M. This is the second year the choir has given a radio program. An assembly program of special Christmas music was also given Thursday, December 20, at 11 o'clock. ----·* ---- SOCIOLOGY CLUB Mr. Symonolowicz and the students of the Sociology classes have formed a club.

A pun is said to be the lowest form o·f humor, and to our way of thinking a shoe is pretty low. Perhaps we could have mentioned a broken-down heel, but why bring personalities into a thing like this, for all we know he may turn out to be a go~d sole. Is it true that water on the knee can be cured by wearing pumps, or is someone trying to string us along? If we thought it was the latter case, we would quickly proceed to tan his hide. We have a swell gag about playing music on a shoe horn, but we are unable to use it as this paper does not print footnotes.

The average attendance here was twenty thousand. At Soldier Field in Chicago seventy thousand were present at one of these rallies. The response was the same throughout the country. Enthusiasm and support arose spontaneously and simultaneously. The high costs for broadcasts and rental for halls were overly covered b.y those at the rallies. What was the appeal this movement had for youth? First; the title and approach were made purposely spectacular. Mob psychology was employed to draw the crowd and ·to hold their attention.

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

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

Mary Martin and Howard Dinstel were experimenting on the theory of what goes up must come down. It was only an "easy" experiment on butyl br-omide (the sulphuric acid method). Equipment was set up and the class had nothing to do but wait two hours fo-r the prepared mixture to fuse . Quiet-but not for long! The next minute everything was in smoke. Nothing could be seen but 'Marti" and "Howie" rushing for water accompanied by the sof.t, and spurting sulphuric acid. In the distance there was a muffled scream.

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

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

Examples of their humor follow: Prof. Sym.- I didn't want my mother to b~ow I was a rat. (He's only kidding). There are many double-faced persons. Dr. Nich.-Why did the cranberry sauce turn red? (Ans .) Because it saw the turkey dressing. (Wow!). A special notice by Sturdevant announces that his arm is healing fast and that the women will soon have to watch their step.

O'Connell, past president and a life member, wishes to announce that there are plenty of openings-for women. For details, ask a member, they know. Be sure to join this growing organization. And now for the romance angle of Bucknell life: Have you noticed-how interested in barbecues Jimmy Catnes has become since he came to Bucknell? Must be the influence of Betty Jane Davis-Persis Hicks and W rob le ski make a swell couple-Alberta Novick's phone number is in the booth (don't rush there now)-What a good-for-nothing wolf Wentz is.

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

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

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

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

SPEAKS TO PRE-MEDS ALUMNI NEWS STUDENT POLL Do you think that the United States should give up the secret of the atomic bomb? If so, do you think that the United States should give it to the United Nations or only to her Allies: Britain, Russia, China? Give your reasons. No. Most other countries have almost completed their own research on the matter, and in the interval until they complete their work our retention of the secret will keep things under control. -S. B. Hettig. I think the "secret of the atomic bomb" lies mainly available to anyone who can, through his resourcefulness, industry and ability to acquire enough financial backing, apply the principles that are of universal knowledge in the scientifice world. - Jack Hayes. No. The invention of the atomic bomb has released a power so destructive that it could destroy the whole world. By limiting the knowledge of the bomb to the United States we prevent the possibility of such destruction by providinb a definite check on it. -Nelda Brounstein. The secret should be shared universally after proper diplomatic disposition regarding its use in good faith by all. -Edward J. Wasilewski. The atomic bomb if not controlled; might cause the destruction of the universe. I believe the United States should guard the secret until such a time as all its aspects have been considered and its control, a certainty. -Mary Martin . For the protection of our country we should keep the secret of the atomic bomb. With so patent a threat to our future enemies we would not be attacked and we would not have to institute compulsory military training. -Ernest James. The census of opinion of the scientists · who made the atomic bomb possible is that this invention should at least be partially shared with the United Nations.

The speaker was Mr. Louis Alber, distinguished author and world trav• eler, whose topic was "Fascism Must Be Destroyed." Mr. Alber stated that "the young men of this generation were compelled to fight and die on many battlefields throughout the world because ,t heir fathers and mothers were too stupid." He emphasized the fact, although we have a vast store of knowledge, we allow that knowledge -t o lie dormant. Appealing to the young people assembled, he said that we should realize that we have a double responsibility to see that World War III does not take place. Drawing from his own travels, experiences and associations with the various countries, Mr. Alber illustrated that this war did not happen by accident, but was planned as far back as 1921. At this time -t he Junkers, who had retired at the conclusion of World War I, one~ again held strategic positions as a result of easy peace terms. They sought to weaken the people's vote and create confusion; they continued the practices of feudalism. The theory of geopolitics, which was responsible for Germany's mif.itary success in its early stages, was also developed in 1921. Mr. Alber related the meetings he had had with German explorei;s, who refused to state why they were exploring ,t he southern tip of South America. Since that time, it has become evident that these explorations were designed to lead to the conquest of this country. Mr. Alber stressed the fact that the feudal system ha·s not become extinct. Countries such as Czechoslovakia succeeded in establishing political democracy, but not social democracy. The speaker held that democracy is favored by all peoples for it offers the most opportunity. He insisted tha,t the estabHshment of a successlul democracy is not restricted to Americans-we are all descendan•ts of Europeans and we have made democracy work. The leudal system, so long as it persists, offers an obstacle to world democracy. Mr. Alber concluded that leudal power could be destroyed il America used her military strength intelligendy. .1 1.1:;1..ux-y Ul.

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

The Student Council, having chosen its officers for the coming year, will now proceed to plan a social calendar and to undertake ·t he management of all school activities. 3. Racial, national, and group hatreds can, to a considerable degree, be controlled. 4. Condesention toward "inferior" groups destroys our chances for a lasting peace. 5. Liberated and enemy peoples must participate in planning their own destiny. 6. The confusion of defeated people will call for clarity and consistency in the application of rewards and punishments. 7. If properly administered, relief and reha,b ilitation can lead to self-reliance and cooperation; if improperly, to resentment and hatred. 8. The root-desires of ~he common people of all lands are the safest guide to framing a peace. 9. The trend of human relationships is toward ever wider units of collective security. 10.

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

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

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

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

The Luzerne County Christian Endeavor Union comple-ting for ty-six years of service and fellowship, recently h eld its annual convention at the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre. With William Connolly as president, the members attending the four-day program comprising seven denomina,t ions, represented seventy churches. Diffe rent age groups were in Junior, High School, and Young People, and Alumni departments. The county union was organized on September 21, 1899, in the Chris,t ian Church at Plymouth. It's growth has been the product of prayer, spiritual appeal and the zeal of its members. In the belief that Christ must be won fo-r each succeeding generation, a challenging future inspires a continuing and ever greater effort. In 1922 the local united societies were host to the state convention. The officers a,t that time were Miss Gertrude Schwab of Ashley and Miss Flora Ransom of Kingston. Dr. Francis E. Clark, founder of Christian Endeavor, was a speaker at this convention. For •t his information and other data the writer is indebted to Mrs. Hilda Thomas, a former Luzerne County Union president. This local group is one of hundreds of similar units which make up the Interna-tional Christian Endeavor. The challenge heading this article was issued a few days ago by Dr. Daniel Poling, world's Christian Endeavor president. This slogan, put to work, is this group's contribution to defend a world threatened with the chaotic reaction following war. The future activities have already started to bud with the revival of three German societies. Their fi.rst convention was held in. Berlin on October 17, 1945. The motto, "For Christ and the Church," has been the keynote of all efforts, dating back to a humble beginning in 1881. Four principles are stressed in support of the creed: Confession to Christ, Service for Christ, and Fellowship with Christ's people. The "Personal Pledge" which follows is a testimony of each Endeavorer's promise to pray and work "For Christ and the ,.....L . . - -L " .u """=t=. .- - - - - - - - - r - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - a=voM T~ C3 ALL~ Page Three i~EACON I!:~ By James Flynn ._ -----" ___ ;;_·-=-~=--~ --~=~-~= ~- ,, It certainly is wonderful to see so many new freshmen attending our College. The large majority of them are good sports, too, which was proved by the goodnatured manner in which they took their initiation at the hands of ,t he upper-classmen. The first chemical laboratory periods found Miss Dorothy Raub, one of- Mr. Steinmann's assistants, busily engaged in soothing the burns of Freshmen Chemists. Miss Raub's comment on the whole affair was, " Boy, a Pre-Med could serve his internship here! " The Hallowe'en Dance proved ,to be an unusually revealing affair. It was there that N . S. (Nova Scotia) exhibited a new technique in the art of dancing. There were two unusual features of her exhibition and both had a practical vaiue in the crowded conditions which existed the evening of the dance. The first feature was the unusually large gap between her and her partner which allowed other couples to promenade through, there-by lessening the tangled feet situation. The second was the "hand in the air" feature which gave the impressi·o n tha-t the couple was picking apples rather than dancing.

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

I will make it the rule of my life to pray and read the Bible, to support the work and worship of my church, and to ,cake my part in the meetings and other activities of the society. " I will seek to bring others to Christ, to give as I can for the spread of the Kingdom, to advance my country's wdfare, and promote the Christian brotherhood of man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Listed below are the ten "points" given to the students prior to the hunt: 1. On what street is parking meter No. Fl66 located? 2. Bring back the signature of the desk sergeant on duty at the Wilkes-Barre Police Station. 3. Bring back book matches from the Spa. 4. Bring back a 1944 license plate. 5. Find out how long it takes the red light 011 the corner of Washington and East Market Streets to turn from red to green. 6. Bring back a baby's rattle. 7. Bring back one ticket stub from the Comerford Theatre and one ticket stub from the Penn Theatre. . 8. How m,any names are on the eas.t side of the Honor Roll which is on Public Square opposite the Capitol Theatre? 9. How many windows are in the Conyngham building? 10. How many miles it is from Public Square to Harrisburg? 11. How many park benches are on the River Common between South Street and the Market Street Bridge? 12. How many doors are on the ·t welfth floor of Hotel Sterling? At the end of the evening, students gratefully expressed their thanks to Dr. Craig, who had volunteered to chaperone the event. ----¥-- --- Informal Tea Held On Friday, August 24, an informal tea was held in the women's lounge by the members of the Beta Gamma Chi. Three main topics wer-e discussed-the big sister plan, welcoming the freshmen, and general courtesy, Myrtle Fowler and Gloria Farkas were chairmen of the committees. Other members of the · committees were Virginia Lewis, Dolores Seitchek, Betty Nesbitt, and Irene Wienkowski. Shirley Stookey poured. ----*---- NOTICE!

Have you by any chance watched our bow-and-arrow beauties as they tried to imitate Robin Hood? The other day there was a horrible shriek from ye olde campus and yours truly rushed out in time 'to hear an upper freshman scream, "After two years I have finally hit the target." Then ther,e was a mad rush as the girls scrambled on top of the brick wall and towards the theatre to retrieve the arrows. One enterprising young man set an apple on his head; s·t ood in front of the target, and asked the girls to split the apple. After he walked away with the whole apple I asked him why he stood in front of the target. He replied that it was the safest place around the campus during archery periods. But seriously, orchids to Rhuea Williams for her skill in this sport. The other day Alberta Novick went nonchalontly to the telephone booth to make a call ( of course). Angelo Licata, with a grin on his face, followed her in, winked his eye, and closed the door. A minute later they emerged. The remark was made : "You must have wiped the lipstick off rather quick, Ang." Before anything else could be said, Alberta whirled around and said, "But my lipstick doesn't come off." Draw your own conclusions. Have you •t ried to get a copy of the Iliad or Odessey lately? Every library within a 1,000-mile range of Wilkes-Barre is completely "lent-out." The book stores are wondering just why so many people have taken an interest in classical literature.

We hear that at the recent swimming-hiking party, the girls had a little trouble with a flat tire. Everyone whom they flagged said that they would go down the road and send help, but for some reason it never did arrive. (natch.) It just goes to prove how much women depend on the male sex, and shows that no woman should be allowed to drive who cannot fix a flat or blowout.

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

COOPERATION Wednesday, September 5, 1945. During the past decade we have witnessed a progress in science so rapid in its pace, so revealing in its nature, and so tremendous in its influence on all people ,t hat we stare half-dazed with bewilderment into a somewhat uncertain ftuture world. Needless to say, the climax was reached recently when that dread,e d of all weapons, the atomic bomb, went plunging downward on a Japanese city to result in a devastation that would m.ake an ordinary bomb appear to be but a pin-prick. The apex of all scientific achievements, this new weapon not only represents an amazing invention that brought about a hastened peace but also an instrument to aid in a lasting peace, lest we plunge civilization into a chaos that would ring to the very depth with pain and horror. The atomic bomb is on the lips of all people, from the eager scientist who probes into the mystery of the atom to the small lad who is now shooting atomic bombs with his dummy machine gun. It has become the favorite topic of discussion and indeed it should, for it is incredibl,e in its make-up and effective results. Whether it be from the barber in your home town or the chattering housewife next door the question is: "What will become of the world of tomorrow should such a horrible inS t rument pass into the hands of a war-minded nation?" Ap-p arently many believe that this inventi·o n is the worst possible thing that could happen to manki nd a nd wi th such a pessimistic attitude they anticipate a world gone mad and heedless of all the real truths and cherished principles. On the other hand there is the group who picture a con~rolle~ utilization of this great mven-tlon for_ th e good_ of people and not their destruction. I favor the optimistic viewpoint and would like to point out some favor~b!e arg_ume_nts !n defense of th1 s invention m 'th1 s P 0st -war era. First, we can't ,o verlook the effectiveness of the atomic bomb in terminating World War II and saving the countless thousands o.f lives that may have otherwise perished. For this alon.e we should be ever grateful to those men who made this instrument possible. Instead these same scientists are being unjustly reprimanded when they should be praised. They are already being accused for bringing •o n a future, more horrible W -o rld War III Are we not crossing the bridge before we come to it? Let us reason more carefully the role that the atomic bomb plays in preserving a world peace. The key to a lasting peace is education - education of the masses of people and not a minority. A leader cannot be suecessful without the support of his foll·o·w ers, h •e n,c e a war cann•O't be staged without the baicking of the people -o f a nation. Unlike previous wars World War II had reached all parts of the globe and th e results of th is c-onflict have taught all people the pain and sicke111ing heartaches it brings The realization of the horrors of a future world war is not possessed by a f~w people, but .b_y th e m~s_s of th e ~eople. ~his reoogn1t1on wouldn t be possible without the scientific achieve- Pause a moment and think of the word cooperation. You have heard it before. Are you sure you know what 'it means or have you been under an illusion all your life? Do you sit back and wait for people to serve you, to make sure you're having a good time? How much have you done to give yourself and others a good time? The Student Council represents every student in this school. It carries out your wishes. It plans . f h l f . activities and programs or t e so e purpose o satisfying you. Are you satisfied? NO! Your ideas are never taken into consideration. y OU don't like to skate, or dance or swim, or go on picnics. You don't . dt Wh t tl d }'k l1'k e movies 1 e ?· Are an eas. a exac Y1·kOyou · t t · f or you sure you lcnow, or dOyou JUS 1 e o en't'lCIZe criticism's sake? If you have any constructive ideas ..:_Let's hear them. We will be most happy to know what you do like. Write a letter to the editor or to the Student Council and rest assured that your missive will be giv~n undue attention. In t~e. meantim_e, how about gettmg out that Bucknell spirit? Get m the swing of things. Don't let the same few do all the work. Take an active part. Supp_ort the school I and show the school that 1t can depend Prog-rams . on you. ments this war has instigated. We have been taught the excessive fear of the atomic bomb and this among the many other instruments o·f war makes us realize the futility o.f war. We know another conflic,t would be almost intolerable. The atomic bomb is a climax to the realization of theh horrors of war-it also is a powerful safety measure in keeping peace. This effect has already been noticed in ·~he bringing about of an earlier termination of the war with Japan . The question is: "Will this weapon pass into the hands of a war minded nation and if it does should we be alarmed? " The answer is very probable that this invention may pass into the wr-ong hands but I feel it has no bearing m the m.am argument. As a matter o.f fact, a more powerful weapon than the atomic bomb could still be invented by other nations although at the present this seems improbable. The main point remains, that is, so long as the people realize the dreadful results of these powerful mventions, no nation will attack the other. This means that we must place our weapons and our techniques in the control of the United Nat~ons so that in the event that a nation steps out of line they will realize before hand how futile their cause is. However, we should not rely on th e a,tomic bomh or any othre scientific invention as a means for securing peace. We have learned that peace is not obtained by instilling fear into the people. On th e contrary, we should strive for understanding and good will am.o ng nat1·ons and only use instruments of warfare by consent of the United Nations for the protection of peace. Used in this way, th e atomic bomb is an added measure to strengthen the United Nations. This will give added confidence in the feeling of security to the smaller nations. Finally, it is said that with the harnessing and control of atomic energy the people of this earth will become scientifically mad to the extent that all basic truths will vanish in·to thin air. They contend that science will make us so materially minded that a third great conflict 1s inevitabJe. I definitely disagree with any such thinking-surely the control and utilization of atomic energy will affect us but only to the ext,e nt of a more efficient machine to add to our conveniences. When the automobile and airplane came into existence the same feeling prevailed among the people-the world has gone mad! Even with the supposition tha-t science \lr. ill take great strides in perfecting the control of atomic energy which incidentally is a costly adventure and prese11'-:' a practical economic problem in peace time, people will still realize that h l 11 b t ere is and a ways wi e a gap between the finite scientific mind and infinite spiritual mind.

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

No. 6 Friday, July 27, 1945 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania To A Convocation Held June 14 Stronger Faith 'f.his is a simple effort to help fellow students who ha'-le felt religious faith quiver or sway under the impaot of apparent contrary facts, as revealed in biology and associated scientific studies. Believing that t he earlier his understanding is made clear and his fa ith bolstered, ,t he more inviting w.ill be-.1his c6nt1nuing effort. The vastness of such a discussion is immediately recogni:red, so this ar,ticle will barely cover the high point, or better still, it is hoped to arouse the reader •to further study. 11he author wished to thank Rabbi I . M . Davidson for his valuable aid and references. Religion and science should not collide, for like parallel plane6 they do not interseot. Science deals with the material, .t he finite; religion with the spiritual, the infinite. The &torm caused by Darwin is still sever-e, but its furor is diminishing with the continued advance of learning. Th-e further explanation of physical realities will bring out this slowly forming basis of truth. Physical trUlth and ·s.piritual realities were fashion-ed by the same hand. Punishment will follow sin, as surely a·s a ball released in air must conform and d"r op, in accordance wiit h the Law of Grav- iity. Science _can no more explain the . homesickness of man for the eternal 'realm beyond, than it can measure the depth of emotion stirred by the sight of a calm and · beautiful sea. It migh,t as well attempt to measure the contents .of -t he ocean wiith a pail. The expedence of ,t he divine pr,esence fS also beyond human explanation. Man, though made lower -t han the angels, and is but a granule in the world of creation, can still aspfre to a divine fellowship in prayer, rising above any relative sdentific order. Man is a spiri<tual being, that is why he is a man. Man can feel this presence, and herein lies the demand of faith, he cannot explain o,r understand it, but he is aware of it. Cen•t uries ago th·is was ex• pressed by one say in effect that if he understood God, he would be like Him, so vast is the gap between mental reason and divine provision.

The usual signs could be seen in front and in back of the s,tuden-ts telling hi'S name, school attended, hobby and course being taken. Two different shoes were worn by the men with aprons tied delicately around their wais.ts. The women wore similar signs with one blade s•tocking, an apron and no makeup. All were required to carry matches at aU times, to wear beanies and ,t o kno,w the Bucknel'l Junior College Song. A spec1tacular sight could be seen as the s,tudents walked •from class to class.

Through decades of a.cquie,sence to the trend of ithe times the Church has .lost rts prestige. Instead of assuming a leading role in the exertion of pressure against evil forces and supporting the measures destined •to promote the fulfillment of ,the cause of the Christian Churcih, it was content to play second fiddle while the world burned. The mission field was disastrously neglected. After years of indecision and inaction to the mission authorities comes the truth: If for every platoon ·o•f soldiers that has now gone across one missionary had been sent, history books would record a different a,c count of the events of this decade. In Germany ministers remained silent as Hitler and his cohorts indoctrinaited the minds of the ·German youth with teachings far removed from ,t hose presented by the M.an of Galilee -the examplar and head of the Christian Ohurch. Shintoism in Japan was allowed to run p·a rallel with Christianity since the worship at the Shin,t o shrines was considered patriotism.

If we are going to have compulsory military training, the chemical warfare must be kept up .t oo.-Jane Wolksman. Yes. · This is as importan,t as universal military training. Caryl Galow. Yes. The importance of the construction of the weapons of warfare is as great as the impor;tance of compulsory military itraining.- Jean Mackonis. Yes. We hav.e no guarantee that any other country will cease the construction of weapons of war. Unitil such time we, too, llliUSt maintain ,t he modernity of such weapons.-Gloria Farkas. Yes . I think that we should keep up with the la•t est equipment. The best defense is to appear tough.-Preston Sturdevant. No. Reasons; ( 1) Equipment designed and manufactured prior to any expected conflict is ohsole,t e by the time any future war · begins. (2) I believe in ithe maintenance of a world police program but not in the increased concentration of equipment which starts a cyclic increase of armament and an inevitable race toward military control. (3) Nor do I believ,e in compulsory military ,trai-ning. ( 4) The extent to which each country main,tains a cer>tain amount of warfare weapons, a navy, and an army should not be determined by the nation itself, but by a world congress. This would prevent excess building manufacturing by any one nation.-Mr. Henry Steinman. No. What we ne·e d is the constructive us-e of weapons of Peace. - J ear Steele.

Yes. The developmen.t of new weapons is vital and neces·s ary to maintain the peac,e. Let us not be caught nappi-ng again.-Kay Vanderlick.

COLLEGE LEADERS FAVOR DELAY Washington, D. C. (Special)] uni.or college leaders, by more than a four-to-one vote, favor delaying decision on the question ,o f adoption of a policy of universal mili,t ary service until after the establishment of peace, according to a nationwide survey just completed by Walter C. Ells, Executive Secretary o.f the American · Associaition of Junior Colleges. Replies were received from more .t han 750 junior college administraitors and faculty members in over 200 junior c-o lleges in all parts of •t he country. By mor,e than a n ine-to--one vote, they favor the appointment of a widely representative National Commission to study the matter and make recommenda,t ions. They are almost equally divided, however, on the wisdom of a peace,time policy of universal military service if a decision mus,t be made now. On this question, 41 percent of the colleges favored it, 44 percent were -o pposed, and 15 percenit said they were uncer•t ain. If universal military training is to be adopted, however, they are strongly oppos,ed to granting exemptions to any classes of young men, even to conscientious objectors. A majority favor a single period of 12 months devoted exclusively to military training without an effort -to combine wiith it vocational training and general education and believe such a program should be entirely under the supervision of the armed forces . A policy of universal military training would affect junior colleges par-ticularly, since the great majority of -their students are normally in the 18 to 20 year age group. - - ' - - - -V - -- - CHORAL CLUB NEWS The Ohoral Club recital and party, planned for early June, was finally ,postponed indefinitely .

SEVENTH ANNUAL PAGEANT HELD L eft to right: Ruth Young, Edithe Miller a nd Betty F aint. · FORUM ON CONSCRIPTION IN ASSEMBLY On May 7 assembly was held outdoors 011 the lawn back of Kirby Hall. The features were a forum ,o n the advisability of military conscription for Amer ican boys and several numbers by the Choral Club. T};ie subject of ,t he panel d iscussion was "Shall There Be Universal Conscription in Time of Peace?" Joseph Callahan, president o.f Student Council, a Navy veteran, emphatically sta,t ed that he was in favor of universal conscripti-o n as he said itha-t it would serve to discipline the young men of the nation. Frank Hawkins, also a veteran, was against conscription in peace time since he believed it would lead to a mili•t aristic attitude among the youth of ,t he nation. ~he last speaker, John Riley, also a vereran, chose ,to compr,omise between the two viewpoints. He said that he did favor mili,t ary conscription, but not at t he present time. After ,t,he forum was over, a lively discussion of pros and c,o ns by the three participants and the audience follo,w ed. The Ohoral Club entertained with three numbers: "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," by Bach; "Ort Wings of Song," by Mendelssohn;" and "Requiem Aeternam," by Mar,t ini.

Nicholson ~ - KATHARINE VANDERLICK APPOINTED EDITOR The advisors, the editor, and the assistant editor of the Bucknell Beacon have selected Katharine Vanderlick to take over the editorial position during the summer months. Miss Vanderlick entered Bucknell Junior College as a lower freshman last summer. During her three semesters at the College, she has been very ao-tive on the Beacon staff, first as a member of the business staff, and later, as reporter and circulation manager. We congratulate Miss · Vanderlick on her new appointment and sincerely hope she will receive full cooperation from her staff and from the students. FAREWELL TO BUCKNELL School for the graduates of June, 1945, is over for a little while. They have completed their courses at Bucknell Junior College, and are embarking on new fields to conquer. As a member of the graduating class, we can speak for that class. We wish to express regrets on leaving the college. Admittedly, we are glad school is out. But deep inside there is a feeling of sadness to think that the happy, busy days spent here are finished. Years from now, we will all recall those days and memories of faces and places which we will never forget. Two years go by so fast that we almost envy those who remain behind with a semester or more ahead of them. In closing, we bid farewell to our alma mater and wish all its faculty and student body the best of wishes.

No. 5 Friday, April 27, 1945 Callahan Elected President GROUP DISCUSSES FAR EAST Four students, Miss Lila June As-ton, M·r. Harvey Trachtenberg, Miss Gretchen Trobach, and Miss Ruth Holtzman, with Dr. Robert Nicholson as modera,tor, presenited a d iscussion on the topic, "What shall be the policy of the United Nations in the Far East in ·the posit-war world?", over radio s<tatiion \VBAX on Tuesday, March 21. Miss Aston, ,t he first speaker, in her discussion of the dynamics and background of Japan, told how the e.i ght great feudal fomiles which dominated the political and economic liife of the country faced disasiter in the early years of the l 930's. "Their choice was simple. One: effect a long overdue economic and political New Deal which in turn would mean the diminution of their power, or, two: effect their own econ,omic salvation and, incidentally, turn the attention of the Japanese masses from their desperate plight by means of expansion and wa·r agains·t their neighbors. " It is needless to say which of the two was their choice; events of the past years tell us clearly. ' Following Miss Asiton, Mr. Trachtenberg deah with the treatment of the Japanese nation in ,t he pos,t-war world. In presenting the prime prerequisite fo,r a lasting peace, Mr. Trachtenberg stated: "Japan must be not only defeated, but crushed, maimed, and left helpless beyond any possi:bil~ty of recovery for a long time. It mus,t be driven from the Asiatic continent, the islands of the Pacific, and the islands off the mainland." Mr . Trachtenberg is also thoroughly convinced that the emperor and all persons responsible for ,t he events of today mus,t be disposed of. In speaking of China, Miss Trobach , the next s:peaker, stressed that China must be both strong and independent. It is to be r,emembered that it was because of China's pos~tion that the United States is engaged in the war in the Pacific-China, which would be •e ither independent or a colony. The world could not decide on her position. The questiion of t he policy of •t he United Nations in the colonial areas of ,the south easite,r n Asia continent is ofte1t thought unimportant, while it does require great discussion. MJss Holtzman spoke briefly on each individual colonial •t erritory. Such colonies (Continued on page 3) PHYCICAL' THERAPISTS NEEDED A critical shortage of qualified physical therapists which endangers the proper care of infantile paralysis victims has caused The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to appropriate $1,267,600 for the training of these vitally needed specialists, Basil O'Connor, president, announced recently. Present day medical treatment of patients with infantile paralysis demands more and more physical therapy, Mr. O ' Connor explained. " A physical therapist is a technician who uses physical agents such as heat, electricity, light. exercise, rest, muscle training and similar methods in contrast to the use of drugs, biological and surgical technics . "Today · the·re are only 2,500 qualified therapists, of whom more than half are in the Armed Forces. With earlier and more extensive use of such methods of treatment, twice the number already treated could be used for this disease alone. It is est,i mated that an additional 5,000 could be used right now, not only for the treatment of infantile paralysis, but also for aiding recovery from many other diseases and disabilities. " The $1,267,600 program developed under the guidance of a special committee established in the field of physical therapy consists of three parts: (I) $1,107,000 for scholarships to train new physical therapists; ( 3) $82,000 for fellowships to provide additional teachers and, ( 3) $78,600 for general development of the field of physical therapy. "We feel," said Mr. O'Connor, "that ,thiis step ·constitUJtes •one of the outstanding contributions which the American public has made through the March of Dimes to fight against infantile paralysis. " Th e National Foundation since it was organized in 1938 has spent up to now more than a million dollars in the .development of the fields of physical medicine and physical therapy. " This ne w program is designed to provide urgently ne·e ded personnel necessary to fulfill the National Foundation's pledge that complete medical care will be assured, as far as possihle, for infantile paralysis victims, regardless of age, race, creed, color or lack of financial ability to pay for services rendered."

Immediately following the indiv idual discussions the stude11Jts participated in a colloquy, when questions were raised which had arisen in the various students' minds after hearing their colleagues' ideas. BUCKNELL BRIEFS WOMEN'S _DAY Friday, March 6, was Women's Day at Bucknell University Junior College. The women rushed around all day opening doors for the m en, carrying their books, walking on the ou-t side, and, in short, doing all the little courtesies that they expe·c t .the men to do for them.. The day was climaxed by a dance he ld in Chase Hall. The fun began at eight o'dock . The women, of course, had asked the men to the affair, and some ev-e n present,e d corsages to the lucky ones. The women asked the men for danc-es and ev-e n cut in on dan.ces wheneve•r they wished. At the dance the women were given pink cards which c,orresponded to those held by the men. Some of the "Go Together" combinations were " Peaches and Cream", "Ham and Eggs", "Corned Beef and Cabbage", etc. "Number dances" we·re also tried. These were followed by a "Paul Jones". Faculty members pres,e nt included Dr. Ward, Dr. Craig, Miss Leidy, and Miss Sangiuliano. Edithe Mille-r was general chairman, Betty Marlino was in charge of refreshments, and Ruth Douglass was in charge of the house committee. Well, Spring has come to B. U. J . C. again.

Every year the fash·ons are different-but the spell never fails . Spring '45 brings a flock of little sailors done up in all types of fabrics and topped with veiling, ribbons, and flowers. Ther,e are, of course, v-a rious other chapeaux, such as bonnets, basket straws, and untrimmed straws. Hats this season are as varied and as lovdy as the flowers of- spring. Shorty coats are the headliners ·n fashion this s·eason, from the brilliant hued mandarins to the striking wrap around casuals. Capes and cape coats have also made their way into the fashion limelight. Suits, of course, are a mu-s t in every spring wardrobe. They are shown in every conceivable color. Checks, plaids, and pin stripes are adorning many a fair maiden's back this spring, and the sleek gabardines mu·s t not be forgotten either. The fashion themes in mi-lady's dress these days are mandarin shou~ders ( wi:th long gloves); shoulder capes; bow necklines ; buttoned, belted, or tied waist• lines; polka dots; and combinations of plain colors with brilliant prints . The peplum skirt and cap sleeve are the highlights on most spring frocks. And now we shall deviate a bit from the glamorous fashion world and come down to earth on the campus of B. U . J . C. Of course, he~e one doesn't expect t he sophisticated clothes described above, but we can drool, can't we? Blazers are in the lead, now that the weather 1s so much warmer. Francine Ringler wears a stunning grey one piped in white . Something new worn under blazers are the white T shirts advertising B. U. J . C. White high-necked blouses also make a pretty picture when worn under blazers. We have se,e n some darling su•i:ts •o.n our co-eds, such a,s J ean Dey;i h a teel blue gabardine and Sfi:iil-ey Stookey in a navy blue rritrirned in red.

His most exciting mission was his first, when he narrowly escaped coming down behind the German lines on a parachute jump from his crippled Fort. Lt. Johnson, a 1940 graduate of Kingston Township High School, Trucksville, attended Bucknell University Junior College before being employed by the Glenn L.

Vol. 8. No. 3 - ~,~ ~.EAC I Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania - Tuesday, March 6, 1945 Program To Aid War Veterans COMEDY PRESENTED The Thespians, the dramatic society of Bucknell University Junior College, presented their first major production of the season on February 2 and 3 in Chase Theatre. The play enacted was "Love in Livery", an English translation of Marivaux's wellknown French comedy of the eighteenth centu_ry, "Le Jeu de l' Amour et du Hasard". "Lo.ve in Livery" is a delightful fantasy dealing with real love, which is expressed in a delicate and charming manner, and which is rewarded, at the end of the play, after an interesting and somewhat complicated plot. Briefly, this plot is as follows: Si!via, the daughter of a Parisian nobleman, has been hetrothed to Dorante, a young nobleman whom she has never seen, by arrangements made by her father, M. Orgon, and the father of Dorante. On learning that Dorante is coming to visit her to ask officially for her hand in marriage, Silvia persuades her father to allow her to exchange places with her m,aid, Lisette, in order to watch her husband unobserved by him. Thus, Lisette becomes for the time being her mistress, Silvia, while Silvia takes on the role of her maid, Lisette. However, through a letter from Dorante's father, M . Orgon learns that Dorante intends to exchange places with his valet in order to observe his intended bride. M. Orgon does not inform his daughter of this, but lets matters as they are. Dorante, as Bourguignon, the supposed valet, falls in love with Lisette, the supposed maid. And the real valet and maid, masquerading as master and mistress, likewise fall in love. In the end, the double plots are revealed, and the two couples plan to marry. The role of Silvia was well portrayed by Ellen Badger, and Louis Salsburg took the part of her handsome lover, Dorante. Edithe MiUer played the saucy maid, Lisette, while Clayton Karambelas was the witty valet, Pasquin. Other characters included Robert Lehet as M. Orgon; Harvey Trachtenberg as Mario, the son of M. Orgon; and Harold Roth, as the valet of M. Orgon. All the action takes place in the home of M. Orgon in Paris in the summer of 1730. Behind the scenes was a crew of tireless workers who must, along with the actors themselves also be given credit for making this Thespian production the great success that it was. The staff included the following: Scenery-Evelyn Feinstein, assisted by Jean Lampert, Margaret McHale, Jean Machonis, and Lois Schook; costumes-Helen Davidson and Helen Bitler, assisted by Phyllis Kirschner, Harriet Brown, Gloria Farkas, and Marion 'Burkert; properties-Johanna Y endrick, -assisted by Katherine Vanderlick; publicity -Gloria Boguszewski and Mary Martin; tickets-Florence Jones and Dorothy Bialogowicz, assisted by Mary Lou Hutter; program-Louise Saba, assisted by Betty Marlino, Ruth Douglass, and Elizabeth Kreitzburg; lights ( Continued on page 3) CONFERS HONOR ON GIES Distinction and honor were accorded to Mr. Paul Gies, professor of music at Bucknell Junior College and leader of the Concordia Singing Society, through the recent appointment of Mr. Gies to the Common Repertoire Committee of the Associated Glee Clubs of America. . · composed o f The comnuttee 1s three directors elected by the Associated Glee Clubs of America from the conductors of the Associated Choruses which number over 1 200 units' for the purpose of 'reviewing' all chorus music submitted by publishers and of selecting for the association's members the best music for their use during the year.

Spencer Tracy was indeed an excellent choice for the chief role, that of Col. Jimmy Doolittle. Van Johnson, the bobby sockers' delight, and Phyllis Thaxter, a new find, who made up the ro·mantic angle, also portrayed their roles well. Phyllis gave a tender note to the film with her deep, abiding love and inspiring courage, making the picture one of the best produced by Hollywood. The story concerns itself with the true account of Capt. Ted Lawson's thriller about the first bombing of Tokyo by American fliers who ·took off from the wellknown Shangri-La. Speaking of Shangri-La remins us of Philadelphia, and Philadelphia reminds us of "To Have and To Have Not" . Humphrey Bogart is back again in another hit that is as great, if not greater than "Casablanca". This time Bogart is cast as an American skipper of a cabin cruiser in the French Isle of Martinique. His girl friend is the sensational Lauren Bacall, who plays the part of an American girl stranded on Martinique after the fall of France. You will see her for the first time standing in the doorway of her hotel room asking in her husky voice, "Anybody got a match?" From that minute on you will be lost in a plot packed with mystery and inti:igue with the French underground finally winning over the Vichy and Gestapo officials at Martinique. Among the fine supporting cast is Hoagy Carmichael, the famous song writer, who does the piano-playing and crooning.

It was a very welcome and pleasant sight and a good reminder of my former days at Bucknell Junior. Thank you very much for your consideration. The campaign for creating a four-year college course in _W ilkes-Barre interested me very , much. In my opinion the idea is grea,t an d wi 11 prove very suecessful. In the first place, it will furnish an opportunity for a higher education to those who cannot 1eave ·h ome. Seco nd ly, it will make the pe-o ple in the vicinity more conscious as to the value of a higher education. Finally, it will enhance the pride of Wilkes-Barre and vicinity and give it a rightful place amongst other recognized communities of high civic standards . Here'. s h_oping that th_is year will bnng you success in your four-year college plan. I also hope that the successful termination of the war is not very far aw_ay so . that_ we can renew our fr1endsh1p with present and former students of B. U. J. C. Sincerely, Sgt. Milton Golstein. ----V--- "STAMPS" TEA DANCE I "E" has taken on a new meaning for a number of engineering stu- eyebrow.

AYRES AT ASSEMBLY I Page Three FRYING PAN CIRCVIT Well, now that the first semester is over and the new semester is at last upon us, Bucknell students can relax. After spending several frantic weeks dashing' • off last-minute themes, writing 'those "gosh-awful" term papers, and then frantically cramming for exams, frosh and sophs alike can take it easy for the next few months or so. Oh, happy day! After one of the recent snow storms, many of our Bucknell Junior College girls helped to clean the walks around Chase and Kirby Halls instead of .taking their regular Eurhythmics classes. Fine! Nothing like shoveling snow for exercise. As a matter o f fact, we love to do it ourselves. We got it straight from our chief confidant, Spy No. 265, known as Madame ZYX, that the girls at the dorm are having trouble with the lights. Every night at 12 they go out, supposedly. But there are those who will be needing glasses soon because it is rather difficult reading by moonlight. And still worse when there is no moon! A question: We have been asked to ask Karambelas why he .t urned down the invitation to attend that Eurhythmics class . (Which one, we don't kno-w ). Well, and why not, Clayton? Just think of all the fun you would have had! Honestly! Every time we walk into the girls' lounge there is a card game of some variety going on. So merely out of curiosity we amble over to the group to see what's ho. After several minutes of deep concentration and after having carefully observed everyone's hand, we still don't know what's ho, and so we shrug our shoulders, shake our heads, ( all four of them) , and ,t hen gently inquire, " Who's winning?" We are told or else shown the score sheet, after which we amble on our way, very much confused. And to think that we used to be so good at playing cards! - - --V---- "VICTORY HOP" On Friday afternoon, March 2, a tea dance, the "Victory Hop", was held in Chase Hall at four .

The play, first pro• duced in Paris in 1736 and fir-s t produced in its English form in 1907, is based on -t he models of the Comedie Francaise and also those of the Comedia dell' Arte. It is a light, whimsical comedy about the early part of the eighteenth centur,y in France.

Tuesday, January 16, 1945 * Thespians To Present Comedy Spirit The Beacon has been asked to reprint the following letter on Bucknell spirit which was first published in the "Bucktaellian", the weekly newspaper of Buck.n ell University, Lewisburg. Although the letter, in the strictest sense, refers to Bucknell Universiw, its message can be interpreted for Bucknell Junior College. The letter follows: To the Editor of the " Bucknellian": All of us have been hearing a lot lately about reviving Bucknell spirit which seems to have been ' dying a slow death over the pas·t year or so. Furthermore, for the past six months ·t here seems to have been a continual feud, publicized by •t he "Bu.cknellian", between co-eds, civilian men students, and traineei. In the first pl.a ce this so-called concensus is not a cross-section -o f the students; hence, it is not really stu• dent opinion. It is absolutely purposeless and certainly . it is not conducive to furthering school spirit. It has been called to my attention by sevei:al members of the V-12 unit •t hat they too resent these so-called representations of opinion. They claim that, although they are a bit perturbed by the girls' comments, they feel that the remarks from some of the fellows were also unrepresentative of the general consensus. Trainees, are not altogether lacking in school spirit. They feel that this is their college life, too, and they want to benefit from opportuni.ties and advantages here ju'St as any pre-war Bucknell fellow did. It all boils down to this-we ( co-eds and trainees) are sick and tired of all the bickering and feuding. We don't have to make wartime an excuse for a break in solidari.ty on this campus.

TAKING STOCK OPEN HOUSE FOR ALUMNI �Tuesday, January 16, 1945 Page Three BUCKNELL BEACON LETTER BOX Dear Ed: It wa s very gratifying to read, in your December 5 issue, that there is someone besides my old pa l, Jean Donohue, who looks at the "Twenty-Second Column" with anything save contempt and some slight bewilderment. For your edification, and that of your readers ( both of them) , I represent the latter half of the nom de plume which we used to affix to the end of the column as a byline. In short, I am "M" of the "P. M. " , the junior partner of that once enterprising firm . The senior partner is Victor (Frying Pan Joe) Patoski, a.t present pursuing sea gulls about over the arid plains of Texas in an SN-J. Although symmetry compelled the use of only two letters in the nom de plume, there also exists another member of the firm. His name is Ted (Dave the Dude) Glowacki and he is, unfor.tunate fellow, here on the Prairie State with me. As I remember it, that particular column of the "Twenty Second" was written 011 doilies in Hoolan's (Whalen's) drug s,t ore, on Public Squa.re, over three malteds an·d three cokes.

Certain ci,tizens might be described herein, but they are too far below this level. The composite bowler whom we shall describe is one who takes full advantage o.f the varied selection of balls. He will have nothing to do with the monotony of aiming, and, so, with head down low, he charges at the fowl line. After much difficulty in separating himself from the ball, he drops it in such a posi>tion where it will possibly not roll into the gutter on its journey Begins ri.ow -t he proces•s of jump· ing on one foot and then on the other, pulling strings and reins to gulide •the ball, uttering heart· (Continued 011 page 4) Do you remember, fellow sufferers, that first expository com• position you wrote?

And as time went by you learned what expository meant. (Sometimes at the cost of D minuses and F's inscribed ·i n the record after your name .) It wasn't long before you . formed your own definition of expo·s itory and it didn't comply with Mr. Webster's conception. Maybe if you told the story of your first composition it would be something like this: You went through your other homework as rapidly as you could and started your composition, determined to write a good one if it took you all night. And it almost did because you were up unusually late that night pondering over topic sentences, developed paragraphs, and punctuation. You wrote your paper several times, finding mistakes or what you thought to be mistakes each time. Then along about that time you figured you had written a fairly good composition, so you turned to get some well earned sleep. But you tossed and turned wondering about your use of comas or whether you really needed that sentence in the sec• ond paragraph. You had a leg and a half out of bed with intentions of making some changes, but crawled back under the covers calLing yours-e lf a "dope" and a "jughead" for entertaining thoughts of leaving such comfort. So you fell asleep and for a short while expository compositions were very unnecessary. In the morning you managed to get out of bed after the .third call from downstairs. At the breakfast table you realized too late that you spilled the cream on your bacon.. Then you lef,t the house, took a half-breath of the morning air, and started out for B. U. J.C. During you walk to school you thought y-our composition wasn'•t too bad and you had been silly to worry about it. You kept telling yours-e lf the good points of you paper and by the time you reaohed •that little room in Kirby Hall you considered yourself an unreco,g n-i zed literary genius. Then when class started you sat there and hoped you'd be asked to read your work. Unfortunately you were, and your self-elation did not last long. No sooner had y,o u finiished than you had the "Grammaitical Constitution" and its by-laws thrown at y-o'u by UnoWho. When it was all over, you felt cleansed of your grammatical sins, and you swore by the author of the text-book that it would never happen again. ----Y·---BUY ANOTHER WAR BOND. ____ y,_ _ __ Mr. Gies will hold his final lecture in Astronomy W ednesday evening, January 28.
