FARLEY SPl:AKS AT ASSEMBLY " It is important that those fortunate enough to be able to go to college in these days give thought to the goals they wish to attain in their college work," Dr. Eugene S . Farley warned the students of Bucknell University_ Junior College when he addressed them at assembly on Monday, October 30. " The future of the world depends on young men and women of your generation. Those of the older generation took fod: granted things that the founders of these United States fought to attain: freedom, decency and •tolera,t ion. As soon as such things are taken for granted they are lost." Dr. Farley cautioned •the students that not victory, but 11\erdy the right to continue the struggle for decency, f,r eedom, and oleration, will be won on ·t he battle field. " The same thing can happen he re that happened in both Germany and Italy, unless we are on the guard constantly. We must stop being complacent and realize that risks are necessary to maintain decency in either city or nati,o n. It . is not enough to s•t and for decency, freedom, and toleration ; we must get out and do something about it," he said. "We help our fight for this decency, freedom, and ltoileiration which I talk about," the speaker continued, "by the way in which we conduct our daily lives. Cultivate within yourself, within your neighbors that spirit which will make for decen•t living. Remember that hatred is self-consuming and self-destroying. Hate is a worse disease than either tuberculosis or cancer, for it des-t roys human personality and spirit. If these are destroyed, we cannot live lives based on the fine ideals of either the Christian or Jewish faiths ." Dr. Farley told the students the technical and mechanical developments of recent years are not nearly so necessary as is the ability of peoples to learn to live together. "Scientists in their discoveries attempt to contribute to the welfare of the people-but their discoveries are now used to de stroy," he said. "Perspective and vision are needed to render service ·to people, nati:ons, and the world." "Education is not for the improvement of self alone, not so that we may :able to go out and earn more money, but so that each man does a better job and Monday, November 6, 1944 Mr. Henry Steinman Mr. Steinman, a former resident of Massachusetts, has come •t o Bucknell this fall to teach Ghemistry. He is a graduate of Drexel University of Technology in Chemical Engineering. Although he i·s formerly from Ma·ssachusetts, he has s.pent most of his time as a student in Philadelphia where he excelled in Chemis•try and Mathematics. He has had ·s ome Industrial Experience and has done some extensive research for the Horcuies Powde.r Company of Wilmington and the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia. Recently he has been teaching the A. S . T. P . at Drexel. Mt. Steinmann is very fascinated with Organic Getnlis•t ry as well as golf, 5Wimming, and mathematics. He likes Bucknell very much and prefers it to other larger colleges because he feels there is a great opportunity for' students to be in a closer collaboration with the faculty. - - - V - -- Movie Party Planned The first of vhe fall semester's movie parties will be held Friday night, November 3, at Chase 1iheatre.

Ah, first off comes Tommy Dorsey's "Song of India". If anything puts you in a nice, quiet mood it's that sentimental genit with his soothing ,trombone. Artie Shaw's "Lady Be Good" is followed by Benny Goodman's "Don't Be That Way" and rthen-a real oldie of Glenn MilLer's-"String of Pearls". Now you're practically completely relaxed but you have to get up and change the records. When you reach the record cabinet you see four or five new albums.

Strange doings ,and peculia·r occurrences have been seen this week, for this is ·t he time when ·t he \lpper clas,s men pour their wrath upon -the new freshmen. All the older .students have, in their time, endured ·the tri.-)s -o f initiation and have met t he terrors of Inquisition. Aft er each class has been subjected to the inconveniences of initiation as a whole, it expresses a burning desire to make the clas,ses following pay for what it has suffered. No matter if t he new classes are in no way responsible for the suffering. That then, explains why the students, the upper freshmen in par t~c1Jlar, have given vent t o their feelings and have g iven •t his new crop o.f freshmen the "works". The boys were forced to wear black bow ties, black socks, two diffe rent shoes, and one pant leg turned up thre-e times, and to curtsy whenever an upper classman app-r-oached them. As for the girls, t hey had to braid their hair into t wo pigtails tied with two big bows, and wear black stockings, two different sho es, and no makeup. They also were told to bow t•o all upper classmen they met. All the new freshmen we·r e expected to sin.g the Bucknell Junior College song when requested to do so, to rise when upper classmen entered rthe room, and to do no smoking for the duration of fre shmen week. Another feature were the usual signs giving name, high s•c'hool, course, hobby, and intended profession. This fall no inqulisition was held due t o the fact that there was a te;fthis last Friday. ·1'his, of cours~, left n.o time fo•r inquisition. N e·v ertheless, 11he new freshmen had a taste of what it would be like. For instance, they were all forced to read ·t heir signs befo,r e the ·s tudents assembled m front o.f Chase Hall. After this, they all had t o join a merry conga around the campus to the delight -o f •t he upper classmen. The "frosh" had quite a time t rying to keep in step. Many a new freshman puffed up to Conyngham Hall bearing not only his own load of books, but also those of some haughty upper dassman as well. All in all, it was a trying week for •o ur poor new freshmen. But they have borne up under it and have accepted its tribulations cheerfully.

STILL NEEDS $350,000 ENDOWMENT 111 -the campaign to raise· an endowment fund for the purpose of making Bucknell Univers,i,t y, Junior College a four-year school, over $ 141,000 has been raised ,t o da,te, and eight hundred and thir.ty-four people have contribu,ted. The drive began in June -to solicit funds, afohough .t he trus,tees of the college had been considering the establishment of a fouryear college in W ,i lkes-Barre for the past three years. A modified campaign will be conducted throughout the winter. In ·t he pas t ten years Bucknell Univers~ty Junior College has served W ,i lkes-Barre and Wyoming Valley, paying its own way from the •t uiti on income and the support received from ,i nterested friends. Nearly 2,000 students have been served by the college. Gif,ts during the past eight years have provided the Junior College with buildings and equipment valued at $250,000. However, the State requfres that an educational ins,t itution have an endowment of $500,000 or an annual income of $25,000 befor•e it will charter it as an independent fouryear colle.ge. Since ·t he Junior College has no guaranteed income of $25,000, it is esserutial that an adequate endowment be raised if a chatiter is to be granted. . A local four-year college would be of unestimable value to the commu.nity. It would offer the type of education needed by students ,o f ,t he commUnity without the added expense of living away from home. lit would also offer corutinuo•UJS service to adults, industries, and public officials. Evening courses would be offered for men and w,omen who cou ld only study at night, and public forums held by the college would be of great value ,t o t he ci-tizens as a whole. This fall the J u.nior College is carrying ·o ut part of ~ts plan as a community college. A series of evening and late aftern,o on classes in various subjects are being offered . The J uniror College is also fotitunate enough to be able to announce the opening of a dormitory for girls. This student residence will be located in W eckesser Hall on NoMhampton Street, which was given to the College by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Weckesser in 1939. 1 1 ----V·---BUY BONDS �BUCKNELL BEACON Page Two Friday, September 29, 1944 Alumni Has Poem Published In the August 26th issue of "The Saturday Review of Litera-ture" appears a poem writ-t en by Miss Mary Newbold Williams who is a former student of BuckneH University Junior College.

"Janie," you will remember, was formerly a Broadway play and deals with a girl who invites a group of sold iers •t o her home at the same time as other guests. It should be good for light entertainment. Remember "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" ? Well, Hollywood has made a picture ou,t of i<t and Diana Lynn and Gail Russell play Emily Kimbrough and Cornelia Otis Skinner, respectively, in the movie of the two · girls' hilarious trip abroad. Diana. Lynn is the young intellectual of " The Maj-o r and the Minor" and Gail Russell will be remembered as Stella Meredith in t he neverto-be-forgo:tten "The Uninvited." If this picture is a success, the sequel, "We Followed Our Hearts to Hollywood," will also be filmed. Van Johnson fans will be glad to know that he is coming to the screen in the role of Lieutenant Tex Lawson in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo." Another of ,t he Dr. Gillespie series is also planned for him, this one ,t o be called " Dr. Red Adams." . Speaking of war pictures, do you remember the .speaker we had at Bucknell Founders' Day? It was Col:o nel Robert Lee Scott of "God Is My Co-Pilot" fame. Well, Colonel Scott's book is being made inrto a movie. Just think, you'll walk into a theatre, sit down and see the pictu,r e, and be able to say, "Why, I know the man who wrote ithat book: ' Did some one say so or was it jus:t wishful thinking that a film version is to be made of Lloyd Douglas' great novel, "ihe Robe" ? We hope so. Of cou-se, you know that "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" is on its way t o being a picture. Well , it's time to sign of'f-for good. Here's hoping next ,t ime we meet there will be bellter pictures. Adios, amigos. ---Y--- HELP THE BOYS AND GIRLS IN SERVICE - BUY ANOTHER BOND. ----V---- B. U. J. C.

Two one-act plays, " Women in Council," an adaptation of a comedy of Aristophanes, and "Rehearsal" by Chrisoopher Morley, were presented in Chase Theatre. In the cast of "Women in Council" were Ha·rriet Brown, Patrioia Steele, Johanna Yendrick, Louise Saha, Harvey Trachenberg, Alber,t Stratton, and Robert Lehet. The cast of "Rehearsal" included Rita Wertheimer, Clai~e Harding, Elayne Williams, Pauline Lastowski, and Evelyn F eins·t ein. Cositumes were in charge of Marion Ganard; Lorraine Rogers was in charge of properties, and Florence Mackiewicz was stage mana ger, assisted by Gloria Bogusewski. The Beacon party, held af,t er ,t he plays in Chase Hall, included a series of paper and pencil games, not to mention a Baby Contest. Prizes were awarded. The game committee was headed by Phyllis Smith and Edithe Miller, assisted by Louise Brennan and Ruth Hokzman. In charge of refreshmen-ts were Louise Saha aind Marian Ganard, aided by Catherine Vanderlick and Alberta Novick. The chaperons of the affair were Dr. George May and Miss Norma Sanguiliano.

A LETTER New Beacon Editors Appointed 1 Thespians Initiated Ever smce the campaign to raise funds for a four-year college was s,tarted, Dr. Farley has been receiving letters from our alumni urging the carrying out of such a plan and making contributions to •t he fund. We are reprinting s·o me excerpts from some of ,t he letters, showing how ,t he former students feel about the creation of a four-year college in Wilkes-Barre. Ensign George D ickinson, U. S. N . R. , writes from on board the U.S. S . New Jersey: "You mentioned the possibility of a future four-year college in Wilkes-Barre . A couple of years ago, a couple of us used to imagine the entire block t aken over by B. U . J. C. buildings. In fact, we went so far as to plan seeding over River Street wi-th grass, and taking over the park as a campus. But really, we do need a fouryear college. It would add s·o much to Wilkes-Barre, too." Eugene L. Rogers, another former s.tudent, now o.f Columbus, Ohio, has written : " It has been the hope of many of the Alumni of B. U. J. C. t hat ,t he College would s,ome day become a pernanent, four-year, fully recognized, instiitution. At present the Junior College has a fine staff and an excelle11Jt location from which and in which to grow. I think I express ,t he feelngs of many others when I say -t hat I am behind the movement to the best of my abilities . "To you and the staff of you-r direct'i-on go my heartiest congratulations for the work you have done and are doing and best wishes for further development of the College." From New Guinea, John Peter Finn, S2/ C of the Seabees, expresses t his opinion: "My Mother wrote me recently that the Junior College was to become a fouryear college. 'Dhait was great news and wonderful •t o hear. Let me congratulate you, a little late to be sure, on a j-ob well done. Has a decision been made regarding the new name? I cer,t ainly wish •thait I could be back ait my old alma mater at the present time . . . . I almost forgot to ask. Do you think the -new college will be a competi,t or in major college sports? I hope so because I believe that B. U. J . C. can become outstanding in sports as well as in scholastic standing." On behalf of his son, Thomas A . Owens, Jr., a former s,t udent, now in avia,tion cadet training in Texas, Mr. Thomas A . Owens, Sr., says: " I am enclosing two $25 bonds t-o cover subscription toward the four-year college, as promised you some time ago . "The delay in sending these bonds to you came about t hrough some difficulty a·s t o the proper name or names, and type of bond. "I am also attaching a slip of Bud's home address and present 1-ocation, and want this subscrip-tion entered in his name. "Again, may I say tha,t you have our s,i ncere good wi:shes for the success of your long-awaited addition and I only hope that_the day is not far off that -the Wyoming Valley can proucLly say 'Yes, we hav,e a college'." From a foxihole in Italy comes ,this message from Lt. John W. Page Three College Alumna Urges Pledges 34 Miner Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., August 21, 1944. Dear Dr. Farley: From time to time I have read ttems in the paper concerning the future of Bucknell Junior College or its future older bTother, a four-year University o,£ Wyoming V,a lley. It appears that many of the city's successful business people have been working hard toward <thait aim. I wonder if we, who went there, could do our part to help? Many, like myself, have not reached the higher brackets of wage earners, but feel -that we are a parot of the school; therefore, would like to assist in any way .possible. Being large in numbe,r , maybe our bit would really amount to something when put together. Aft.er all it was ,t he dime that took the cripple out of infantile paralysis. Of course many of the Alumni are in service, but what would make a brighter future for them or theirs; than to live here with loved ones and complete their work with less expen-se or continue to learn while holding down a job? lt certainly would be a good feeling to some day say: "I went there, son, it was a part of me; I helped ,t o make it what it is today, n-ow it will be part of you." I believe each class would like •to place its name on ,t he roll of honor. May I s:tart the pledge for '41? Sincerely yours, Hannah Long Kolb. VanLoon: "Sincerely hope that you have a four-year college in Wilkes-Harre by ,t he end of the war. I would like to be among the first to attend. My one regret is thait I did not get my degree before joining the army." Pvt. Joseph T. Monahan has this to say from somewhere in France: "My thoughts of.ten go back ·to you, the Junior College, and the m/any fine friends I made while I was there. I've been watching t he progress of the College through newspapers as much as I can. I feel very pr,o ud of the fact that I was once part of a great institution. "I ~as especially pleased to see that plans are now being formulated -t o make a four-year course possible for Wilkes-Barre. It will really be a wonderful oppor•t unity for generations ,t o come. I sincerely hope that the people of Wyoming Valley, who are capable of helping in this worthy project will give you every bit of assistance that they are capable of giving. "I for -o ne would have been more than willing ,t o have completed my college education under your guidance and the very capable faculty at •t he J uni-or College. Those ,two years were two of the happiest and mosit profitable years of my life._" ---Y--- School Recess Bucknell University Junior College will close on Friday, September 29, for a three week recess. The 11ew semester will begin on Monday, October 23. It looks as if all ,the students will be glad of 1th-a-t long-awaited vaca,t ion. �Page Four BUCKNELL BEACON Friday, September 29, 1944 •• ALUM~I James Marshall Graham has entered the Army Air Forces Training Command School at Yale University for av1ait1on cadet.training in Communications. . . .

Weckesser Cadette Scholarships The following changes are to be noted with respect to the Curtis-Wright Engineering Cadette scholarships to Purdue University. A maximum of ninety scholarships will be granted for the session to begin October 1, 1944, instead of the sixty previously announced. There is little possibility of a session starting in January, 1945. Some of the conditions under which t he scholarships are awarded are: 1. Only girls who are citizens, between •s eventeen and a half and twenty-five years of age, with no serious impairment of vision or other physical disabilities and capable of absorbing intensive instruction in engineering subjects can be accepted. 2. The scholarship includes tuition, room and board paid to the college, and $10 a week paid to the girls to cover incidental expenses. 3. F9llowing the six months' training at Purdue University, girts will work at drafting or other jobs in the engineering department of the Columbus plant at salaries commensurate with the work to which they are assigned. 4. N ·o assurance can be given that inquiries received after September 11, 1944, can be handled in time t o receive consideration by the scholarship committee before the available scholarships have been awarded.

Do you wonder why? That is because some remodelling has been done to the stage under the direction of Miss Sanguiliano and the Thespians. According to the original plans, the theatre was to be altered so that the underneath part of the stage could be utilized for storing scenery. There were to be three sections for wagon trucks, which are merely large frames on wheels, on which scenery could be placed for packing. As it has been arranged, scenery has had to be raised to the second floor for storage. In order to have these changes made, the entire part of the theatre underneath the stage had to be rebuilt. This alteration will be a big time-saver in future Thespian productions. ----V---- Pre-Med Speaker On Friday afternoon, August 11, Dr. Lewis Rogers spoke to the Pre-Med Club on hospital work. He discussed hospital routine and procedure. Dr. Rogers also outlined ·the life of a physician during his internship and residency at a hospital. He stated that when most people think of a successful doctor they do not realize the work and time that were spent before the doctor attained his present position. The Pre-Med Club has had its Constitution read and approved, Playwriting Contest The John Hopkins Playshop is offering a one hundred dollar prize for the best full-length play suitable to the college theatre. In past seasons the Playshop has produced at least one manuscript play. To encourage the submission of better scripts for production by the college theatre, the Playshop is offering the Theodore Marburg prize of one hundred dollars for the best and most suitable play submitted before December 15, 1944. The wi,nning play will be produced at the Playshop in ~he spring of 1945-all further rights are retaiined by the author. The award is made possible by the generosity of the Honorable Theodore Marburg, member of the Boa,rd of 'trustees of the John Hopkins University. The judges for the con•t est will be Professor Kemp Malone of John Hopkins University, Professor Ola Elizabeth Winslaw of Gouc?• er College, and Dr. N. B. Fagm of John Hopki,ns University. Terms of the Contest Any playwright in the United States is eligible to submit one or more manuscripts, which must be full-length plays, with an estimated playing time of two to two and a half hours. It is suggested that plays with a small cast and one set, or at the most two, have a better chance. A sound, vital idea-social, economic, psythological-is a decided asset. The typical, superficial Broadway productions hav,e no chance. Manuscripts must not have been published, and must be originals, not adaptations or translations.

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. Th~ pace may be jittery, the path may be unsure, but a 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-thing 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 will still 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 is cruel and ugly, life can still be bright. There's a saying: "Love can tell and love alone, how each atom knows its 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 tomorrow may appear, no m·a tter how sad this grand, old world may be-"in spite of woe, in spite of deathgay is life and sweet is breath."

Of course a lot of this may be old stuff, like the Glowacki-Stocky affair. Yes, Shirley and Pep are still •c hummin' around and a darn cute couple they make too, don't you think? Then there are .sever-al new romances which have just blossomed forth recently. Naturally all this news didn't just pop up. It took approximately three picnics, two dances, and a corn roast to really get things under way. Betty Faint and Joe Feldman plus Kay Vanderlick and Zen W aH make up a new fun-loving foursome. They always seem to be together and they always seem to be having fun . Well, more power •to them. Did you know that Harvey Trachtenburg and Jeanne Kleinkauf are hitting it off just swell? You remember Jeanne, don't You? She's the tall, cute brunette you met last tin1.e you were down. They dated after the scavenger hunt and also after the corn roast. Hmmm . . . Need more be said? Bev Beech and Joe Berger seem to have fun together but take it from me, Bev's heart still belongs to "Stuzzy." Right, Miss Beech? Jean Withey is confused. She can't decide-Ray or Joe. And Albert Novick seems ,t o be in the same boat. Alberta's got both Bob Lehet and Jerry Kryger wondering at this point. You should have seen Flo Mackiewicz trying to concentrate on writing a letter this afternoon. Looks bad, Flo, when you can write a coherent letter with all the racket going on in the lounge. You asked me about Lenny Stein in your last letter. Well, he's still a free lancer-giving all the gals a chance. I think that's darn sweet of him, don't you? Another free lancer is Bill Nancarrow. We just can't figure out who Bill has his eye on, but its certainly not on your chem experiment, Mr. Nancarrow. Dick Watson and Bill Rozanski are "batching" it these days. They'r:e in between girl-friends, so to speak. Here's to you, fellows. Two candidates for the "stillgoing-strong" gang are Cap and Beedee. Everyone on campus knows Cap and Beedee. They're really one of the grandest twosomes in town. Who's the other one? Why, Jerry Stadulis, of course, and his Irene. Did you ever meet her? She's really darling. Can't blame Jer,r y at all. Looks like Pat Steele has really captured Carl Goeringer's heart. And speaking of hearts, I wish someone would capture the hearts of those three Lone wolves in chem lab. Namely, "Jenike," "Pernesk," and "Juicy."

Thursday, August 31, 1944 CAMPUS HASH By RITA WERTHEIMER Dear Public: In a letter to a former student of the Junior College, one Eva Y aremko, now at the University of Pennsylvania, we asked her how her scribblin' finger was lately. The answer we rece<ived is reproduced below: "M' scribbling finger, chile? Ah, yes, m' scribbling finger. Well , you know how 'tis. You ge t up in the morning, pop into the shower, guTgle contentedly like a duck ( or don't ducks gurgle?) as the cool water ( By the way, I understand that the formula for Philadelphia's water is H-2 C7-276 0. It doesn't balance, of course, I'm told, but then neither does Philadelphia's water. In fact, it's enough to unbalance an unsuspecting soul. It's not so bad though if it's cold enough and if you close your eyes so as not to have to look at the lovely pale yellow of the chlorine. Surely it isn't the natural color of Skeelykil because that's black). Anyhow, where was I? Oh, yes, you gurgle contentedly like a duck as the cool water trickles down your back . You trip out (still gurgling) and get into the least amount of clothing the Hoard of Health will let you parade around in. Not that it's hot in Philadelphia; I don't insinuate anything of the sort. (I don't insinuate; I tell you point blankly.) But you like to make the melcing process as painless as possible. Next you trip merrily down the steps to breakfast. It is good to stop gurgling by this time as you would make an awful mess of your food and somehow the milk might splash around and your friends might get huffity about it. (Friends sometimes do queer things like thait.) "Anyhoo, in the due process of time you decide it's time to think about making an appearance at class. This does no end of wonders for the professor's morale. Especially these hot days. They have that air about them that kinda indicates, 'Well if you fools are game, I'll go through with it.' So you step out of Sargeant and make your way toward Bennett HaU. "You're still feeling good, sees, so you take a good deep breath as you step out •of Sergeant. This is a fatal error. Seems the Seelykil is acting up again with its aroma (?) and such, and - -. You cross the street. This is geneirally a mistake, too, and should be avoid ed as much as possible. Anyway, you did manage to reach the other side of the street with a minimum of dodging because 34th and Chestnut is no<t too busy a-t this ungodly hour in the morning (9 1 A. M.) to get to class so you get actually rude and step on -s ailors' feet, say 'out of my way' to . the ladies, and ( as this is Tuesday and you're carrying your tennis racket under your arm) you kinda let your racket run interference for you. "You pop into the room just in time to answer 'here' to your name. There is a big advantage in having your name begin with a letter way down the list. In fact, I think every college student should change his name to a Y or Z . Then they wouldn't have to worry about being ther-e when the class started. Or would they? Anyway, you completely ignore the prof's plea that you sit up front on akonna the acoustics and, still stepping ,on people's toes, you slip into the back row. After all, the trip from Sargeant to Benne-tt ha·s strained your nerves a bit and you just want to sit back and · relax. (Taking the shoes off usually helps. But in this class I restrain myself because I'm afraid that the two nuns that sit next to me might think it unladylike). "It's a Jou~nalism ~lass and the prof, who· was one time an .important magazine editor is telling about the first <time he sat d-o wn at an editorial desk and such. He was pretty green, he wants to convey · the idea. 'I sat down-,' he says. "But alas. and alack. It looks like the story is gonna hafta wait. The engineering school, which is located right behind Benne•t t Hall, has decided that this is the precise moment to put on the power for some project or other and an awful roaring noise begins. An obliging soldier gets up and closes all the windows. 'I sat down-' the prof continues. It must be fate that he shouldn't continue because the roaring outroars itself at this point. Finally there's a breathing spell and the pr~f ¥oes on., 'I sat down-.' By th~s time you re sure of ,only one thmg: he sat down. The noise picks up again. But Dr. James 1s dauntless and decides to continue at the top of his lui1.gs. You go into a reverie •a nd start to draw pretty pictures in your note. book. You s<train your ears to listen 'cause the first row has just laughed. 'So you see that the first time I sat down,' the prof is screaming. 'Tsk, •t sk,' you tsktask. 'Still sitting down.' "By this time it's too much even for the prof and he decides ing can be done it seems, except find a room in another building. So you gather up your belongings and track around the campus. You nod understandingly to the other forlorn groups you see roaming abou,t. They, too, couldn't stand it. "But no room is to be had, it seems, except the Journalism bu·i lding, so we wend our way to the Journalism building. This is an inf01:mal sort of place, kinda the place journalists let their hair down and stuff, so you go in and proceed to let your hair down. ~r. !ai_nes has decided to forego his s1ttmg down and explain the way radi-o-photo works, inasmuch as there are radio-photos all around the room , "As I said before, it's just fate. "You are on your day to Bennett Hall, as I was saying, but it isn't quite as simple as all that. Between Sargeant and Bennett are situated the Smythe Laboratories. Just what they laborate there you aren't sure but anyway you forgot your nose clamp so you rush by, quick like a rabbit. If you were to guess what they are making you probably might, but you remember that you aren't given to strong words. "You get to Bennett ( yes, actually) .

Of course, it was a good picture, but it was just a musical comedy and ?'ot an excepti:onal one at that. Like all musical comedies, it had a lot of music ,and a lot of comedy. It also had too much Jimmy Durante and not enough Van Johns,o n. We sat in the theatre, having come in after the picture had started, about one-half hour without being sure that Van Johnson was in the picture. Then too, "Two Girls and a Sailor" was a typical Hollywood production designed to please the bobby-sox crowd who like Harry James. All in all, this columnist feels that the picture did not come up •t o Van Johnson's work in "A Guy Named Joe" and we hope that "Thirty Seconds OV'er Tokyo" will be a better vehicle for him. It may be that we're too old to be in tune wi~h the times and have lost our taste for movies, but perhaps it's just be-cause we like that six-foot, redheaded Swede and would like to see him in better pictures. From all reports Darryl Zanuck's production of "Wilson" promises to be a timely and interesting picture. When one of the questions of the hour is post-war pol-icy, it should be important for us to know what one great American thought about .such matters. "Mr. Skeffingtoq",, staning Bette Davis and Claude Rains, should be good if you like Bette Davis. Undoubtedly, st.re is a great actress, and undoubtedly both she and Claude Rains will do very good acting in this picture. However, we are just wondering if the plot may not be rather weak in spots. For instance, is there any s·a tisfactory explanation given for Mrs. Skeffington' s many romances? What made her have a bevy of masculine attention? Was it her beauty, her conversation or what? . Well, we might as well stop. This just doesn't seem to be our day for giving f.av-orahle reviews to pictures. Our apologies if we've tread on anybody's toes. ----V---CAMPUS· HASH (Continued from Page 2) The Journalism building is on Woodland Avenue where a ,t rolley passes every thirty seconds.

This book is a compilation of over 150 self-chosen and complete masterpieces of America's 93 greatest living authors. The edkor has done a magnificent job. Each selection contains a preface stating why that particul.ar author thinks the following work is his best. The reasons for the selections are very interesting, and reveal more of author than perhaps a biography would. Some authors have a peculiar attachment for a ce,rtain piece because it might be a theme they particularly like, or because they wrote it in the shortest time, or because they think that particular work is most representative of them. William Allen White selected the several editorials he wrote about his daughter, Mary White, because it was a piece of writing charged with emotion . . . and through it, Mary White has achieved a sort of immortality. John Steinbeck, on the other hand, states that he has no particular fondness for any special piece and his sdection was made by his literary advisor. Ogden Nash has no favorites either. He enjoys writing his poems, but reading them is another matter. "Once the first flush of cr,e ation has departed, I find my self wondering why no one ever taught me th •e pr.o per function of ·a waste basket in a writer's life."· BUCKNELLIAN """'~<t'm-~--~---,,· DR.

How often I thank my lucky stars for the college education which enables me ,t he better to swab decks and dispose of cigarette butts. However, what really hurt was the locker inspection. It happen,ed like this. I had cleaned the big plate-glass windows of the front doors and had polished the windows in our room with my private cleaning rag which is religiously washed each week. A second clean unform had been donned, rny hair combed; hat squared away-and thei1 I noticed the cleaning rag on my bunk.

The captain inspected but two lockers in the wh.o le battalion. I was one of the lucky seamen inviteed to remove all his gear from the locker and place iit neat1y on his bunk while the captain looked on. Yes, your surmise is correct.

Rober,t Lehet seconded this motion. It was also agreed upon that the s,ocial calendar should be mimeographed and distributed. The ,s ocial calendar was to be taken up at the next meeting. Leonard Stein made a motion to the effect that twen·t y new r,e cords be bought for the Friday night dancing. Gerald Groblewski seconded the motion. All were in favor of this. Irene Sieminski was made chairman of this committee, assisted by Leonard Stein. The question wa,s then brought up of having some one to collect the admission for the dance. It was unanimously agreed that Emerson Lewis and Harvey Trachenberg be selected to do this. The meeting was then adjoumed.

It was to change the location of the corn roast planned for Prospect Rock to K.itby Park since most of the s·t udents preferred Kirby Park.

No. 19. POST-WAR WORLD UNION NEEDED Students Discuss World Union Since so much is being said these days by so many people concerning post-war plans for a world union, the Beacon decided to make this the subject of the Student Poll this month. The question asked was, "Do you think a post-war world union would work? Why or why not? Robert Boyd, freshman-"No . You cannot unite people who have different customs and languages. If it were at all possible,' it would have to be done gradually and over a period of three or four generations so this all seems impossible at this tillle. I believe that a continental police force would aid world union with all the chief powers participating." Ruth Holtzman, sophomore-· "Certainly a post-war union will work. The set up is similar to the relationship of the separate states to our federal government. It works in the United States. Why not the world? As long as states were willing to give up some of their sovereignty to live in peace, why not nations? I reiterate-certainly post-war union will work-if a few certain reactionaries are taken to some dark spot and left well ventiated." Elmer Hershkowitz, freshman - "Yes, I think that the world has learned that peace can be maintained only by concerted action of peace-loving nations against the threats of would-be aggressors. Undoubtedly, there will be many obstacles to overcome, but the universal hunger for peace will assure the success of the union." Seymour Bachman, freshman"Yes. A world union with a centralized control over international and military matters would be strong enough to insure success in all its policies." Gloria Boguszewski, sophomore. "Yes, I think a post-war world union will work. The nations should profit by the failure of the last post-war League of Nations. And fast transportation by water and air should maks world problems our problems. Isolation now is out of the question. We need a World Court and a large standing army." (Continued on Page 4) New Books In Library Robin Hood Assembly Speaker Comes to B.U.J.C. Certainly you've heard some strange talk on Chase lawn lately, haven't you?. Things like: "I'm next on the twenty-four," "I think it's on the blue," "What didja get?", "I'm not taking the eighteen again!", "Look! I got a Bull's Eye!", "Two hits, score eight." "All right, girls, run down." Sound familiar now? Well, it should. Classes which are being held in Chase Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons can't miss these affable phrases if the windows are open. And judging from the weather they probably are. Have you seen young ladies scampering around the grounds searching so diligently one would think they'd lost a million dollars? Have you heard a flat "plunk" followed by squeals of feminine delight? Have you been warned to keep within at least two miles of a certain round, multicolored straw contraption if you value your life? Faculty and fellows - don't worry! It's only Bucknell's own " Robina Hoods," "Wilma Tells", or what have you, having the times of their lives! Don't look now, folks, but Archery "R" in season. Of course, we don't mind getting our arms black and hlue ( and in some cases even green and purple), we don't mind searching for arrows in the hot blazing sun, ( gee, we sound like martyrs, don' t we) and we don't On Friday afternoon, July 14, mind standing patiently in line the Beta Gamma Chi sorority of waiting our turns, we don't even the college entertained the new mind getting "Bull's Eye" with freshman members at a tea in no one around to witness it, but their honor.

That's a woman The Library has acquired many new books in the past few months, modern best sellers among them. Among the text books and reference works are books on astronomy, economics, chemistry, education, history, English, French, Italian and Spanish literature, mathematics, music, psychology, sociology and religion. Some of the outstanding non-fiction works are " Free China's New Deal" by Hubert Freyn; "United States Foreign Policy" by Walter Lippman; "Basis for Peace in the Far East" by Nathaniel Peffer; "Ta.rget: Germany" published by the United States Army Air Forces; "The Republic" by Charles A. Beard. Rev. Martyn Keeler, former pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, now a Chaplain in the United States Army, gave the College a number of French novels and classics. The late Professor A. J. Johnstone left his Music Library to the College. Among the fiction recently acquired are "Bedford Village" by 'Hervey Allen; "The Valley of Decision" by Marcia Davenport; "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas; "Crescent Carnival" by Frances Parkinson Keyes; "None But the Lonely Heart" by Richard Llewellyn; "While Still We Live" by Helen Maclnnes ----¥---- Sorority Honors Freshmen Girls ----¥---- Physics Class Visits Hazard Recently the college physics class, accompanied by Mr. Knapper, visited the Hazard Insulated Wire Works. The class was shown around by Mr. Charle~ Nesbitt, of the research depart • ment. The class saw the research and testing laboratories where company experiments were carried on. It proved to be an interesting and educational tour. for you. Seriously speaking, tho4gh, arc~ery has become qu~te the thing. It's being done in the best " circles." (That wasn't meant for a pun, honest) . There's a rumor that the boys are interested in getting started at it. And fellows, if and when you're arching, and we "happen" to pass and say scornfully, " What! Can' t you even Hit the thing?" we know you'll just take better aim, smile, and say: " Touche." Federalist National President Urges Unity "What we're really doing is issuing a challenge-to the students of the United States and Canada as well, to the voters, to the statesmen of our country." These are the fighting words of Mr . Thomas Hughes, National President of the Student Federalist Organization in this country, who addressed an assembly in Chase Theatre, Monday, July 24th, at 11 :A.

ON WRITING EDITORIALS So you think it's easy to write an editorial? Well, take it from us, it's really quite a task. "Straight copy," you say, "Nothing to it." But you can't just write an editorial on anything. It has to "say something." "What about the patriotic angle?" you reply, "Bonds and stamps and that kind of thing." But, will you read it? Will it be an article which will make you say, "My, this looks interesting !" or will it be one which will make you say, "Oh, that stuff again. Can't they think of something new and different?" The author of this editorial has no idea, at the time of writing just what the other editorial will be like; neither, you will probably say, does the author have any idea what this one will be like. But,dear reader, that is where you are wrong. We are writing an editorial, whether you are aware of it or not, on "Writing Editorials." Confused? Yes, we know, so are we at this point. But what we're really trying to say is this: We only write the material. You, after all, are the ones who read it. And why should you pick up the Beacon and be faced with uninteresting articles? We can remedy this. Know how? All you have to do · is to write "A Letter to the Editors." If you have any criticisms or complaints to make about the paper, let us hear from you. You never really tell us what you think of it, so how are we to know if the paper is, shall we say, "on the beam"? We realize this has been a very poor attempt at writing an editorial. But we hope you understand now what we want to say. We want the Beacon to be really good, and so do you. We can try to make it good-if you'll just tell us how. THAT BUCKNELL SPIRIT On Friday evening we are having a dance. In the - past our dances have always been successful, if not so successful as they might have been if everyone had had as much Bucknell spirit as he should. The Student Council, which represents every student in the school, tries to carry out your wishes. It tries to plan the activities and programs that you are interested in. So let's get in the swing of things, polish up that Bucknell spirit and really come out and support the dances and have a very good time. This observation doesn't only apply to a dance. I.t applies to all the social activities for the summer term. We want everyone to be interested and take an active part in the programs and parties planned. So let's cooperate and support the school programs and show the rest of the world that we've got a Bucknell spirit to be proud of!

It should be good! ---V--- 9ab 'OV 9ossip Although yours truly missed out on the recent edition of our beloved Bucknell Beacon, we'll try to get you in "the know" with a few items that we "picked up," let's say. Some smooth friendships have been formed within a few weeks time. Namely: Shirley Stookey and Joe Morris, Pauline Lastow• ski and Bill Rozanski, and Pat Steele and Dave Hart. Not that it could be said that I'm a cold-blooded individual, but oh for those days when Art and I dreamed -o f going for afternoon swims. Even though it's usually impossible it really felt good just to talk about it. The mysterious Mr. Trachtenberg ( one of our neatest dancers) has been rumored to have been dating rather secretively. Surely it's been nothing less than a luscious blonde to make him so "rarefie." Picnics have been the rave late• ly. Everyone's been having these get-togethers. A few pers.o nalities that are sure to liven things up are Giff Cappellini ( from Plains), Robert Barnum, Leonard Stein ( fellow col umni-st) , and Dick Watson. It has been said of one of our most renowned freshman that he is extremely intelligent. In fact, his questions are so searching that that is exactly what the professors have been doing to find the answers-searching. All kidding aside, many students are happy just to be in Lenny Stein's room, because he is an education in itself-his answers are so entirely different. Cute, blonde and average height, describes one of our most darling and new freshmen. Her name? Alberta Novick. Don't (Continued on Page 4) Wednesday, July 26, 1944 CAMPUS HASH By RITA WERTHEIMER There comes a time when things cannot go on as they are, the time of handing in reading reports and themes and Beacon copy. The time is now. We may as well start the baH rolling by saying that we have really bt!. gun to appreciate Howard Hill. Who's Hill? You must know who Hill is. A darkened movie house. A hushed silence. An arrow pile makes its stealthy ap• pearanc,e from behind its hiding place . Psssss . And another hyen has bit the dust. Thanks to Howard Hill and his unerring bow. You now know who this here Hill is, huh? Now we archers of Bucknell are really something too. Haven't you ever been thrilled at the sight of a row of females? Intent looks on their faces, .blisters on their fingers, bruises on their guardless arms, bows in perfect . harmony, strings taut ( oops, pardon, Myrtle's arrow just slipped its clutch), they are an inspiration to all the young children on their way home from the "Y" pool. This archery, as we all now, is the summer subs>titute for our friend Eurythmics. A word to our young friends who have just entered college: You have been very fortunate young ladies. Thos•e pretty blue suits that you've bought haven't really pass·e d the acid test. That first class was just to show you how to arch. The more recent one is the variety that you can look forward to in the next few semesters at the college. You can certainly still experience that glor• ious exhiliration of the day after: the delighted expressions on your faces as you realize that you won't have to go to school that day because you're all certain that you've been struck with some delightful new disease: the fine condition of your stomach muscles and diaphragm when you try to laugh at one of those really funny jokes that are always float• ing around. We can safely predict a very sedate and sane lounge for a day or two. Enough of this. My pecking finger's starting to ache. We've decided to tell you something about our Truth or Consequences Night that was put on a while back. Speaking as one of the audience we can safely say that ,that Theatre is a pretty big place. When Mr. Watson ( our Ralph Edwards for the night) called for some volunteers he got them right quick The questions were good, the answers were better, the contestants were sports, and the consequences hi!- · arious. Miller's modesty was touching, Siemenski's hat fetching, Donohue's verbosity typical, and Rozanski's and Stadulis' work showed s-omething. _At this point we are moved with compassion for the lot of our poor editors. Alas, it is cruel to have to be an editor with no one remembering to hand ma• terial in on time. (We mean you, W er,theimer) . But then we are a busy pers·o n or should we say persons? What with lab work in Conyngham and Economics you 1-ow how it is. Speaking of Economics class, Smith really got riled the other day, didn' t she? She was muttering to us about the rights of women and male superiority. Oh, well, such is life. This was not intended to be a regular feature of the Beacon but like Topsy "it just growed" so here it is again this month. Have you noticed the exhibit of flags of all the Allied Nations in one of the rooms of the library? It makes an interesting and colorful display. The gentlemen of Economics class had a good laugh the other day at the expense of the ladies. Some of the girls were really <\ngry for a while. Perhaps things wouldn't have started off if Miss Holtzman hadn't walked in late, bearing a book so everyone could see the title "Jenny Kissed." Arid Gifford Cappellini has :t intriguing giggle. Plans are under discussion on the subject of having dancing every other Friday evening to the phonograph in either Chase or Kirby Hall. What do you think about the idea? A couple of weeks ago some of the girls almost fell out of one of the lounge windows trying to see the Navy plane which swooped so low over the College. Their first thought was that they were being bombed. It certainly gave all and sundry a scare. The chorus of groans and the complaints of aches and pains among the feminine sex are evidence that they've had Eurythmics class this week. The college looks rather lone• some with some of the faculty on vacation. Especially have we missed Mr. Paint's presence in the office. One of our former air cadets, Warren James, recently paid the school a visit. It looks like old times to see Army uniforms on the campus. Everyone is invited to view the Beacon room in its new coat of paint. We're very, very proud of it, and undoubtedly there will be better papers produced in such pleasant surroundings. The color scheme is green and white and promises to be very restful on the eyes. B. U. J. C. escaped luckily during the recent storm with only a few branches off the trees. Other places in the Valley looked as if a cyclone hit them. According to the bulletin board in Chase Hall the first half of the summer term will end on August 4, wiidh the last three days of the session being reserved for final examinations. The second half of the semester will begin on August 7 and end on September 29. September 27, 28 and 29 will be examination days. The College will observe September 4, Labor Day, as a holiday. We conclude with a poem of Dorothy Parker's that one of our friends brought to our attention: FIRST FIG My candle burns at both ends _I t will not last the night But-ah, my foes, and ah, my friends, It gives a lively light. ---V--BUY ANOTHER WAR BOND. �UNROLLING THE REEL By PHYLLIS SMITH At present there seems to be a trend for actors and actresses who usually play in musicals or light sophisticated comedies to have a desire to play serious drama. We're referring to the case of Deanna Durbin especially. In her first dramatic role, Deanna Durbin plays the wife of a murderer. The film is "Christmas Holiday," and her husband is played by none other than Gene Kelly of the dancing feet. It should be interesting to see whether the two can make a successful transition from the field of light musical and comedy roles to that of more serious drama. Also take the case of Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray who are coming to the screen in "Dou:ble Indemnitiy." This is the story of a blonde who murders her husband, and with the aid of an unscrupulous insurance agent, fakes an acciden·t scene so they can collect the insurance. Their crimes are found out ironically by Edward G. Robinson, who plays the part of a hardboiled detective, the first time that he has probably played a respectable character on the screen. For those who want a true, authentic basis for their historical movies, we recommend Darryl F. Zanuck's production of "Wilson." It is especially timely and shoul'd prove to be ·a success. Zanuck has risked $5,000,000 on the hopes that the American public is adult enough to appreciate something a Vititle better than a lot of this inane escape entertainment. Henry King is the director of "Wilson" and it has a cast that includes Alexander Knox, Charles Coburn, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Thomas Mitchell, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, and Mary Anderson. Zanuck made a long search for someone to play Wilson before he found Alexander Knox who some people will remember as the rector in "This Above All." Somewhat different from the usual success story, we hope, will be the story of Steve Dangos, an immigrant who rose to be a great industrialist. This is the theme of the technicolor film, "An American Romance" with Brian Dunlevy portraying the role of Dangos. Also in the cast are Ann Richards and Walter Abel. Pearl Buck's best selling novel, "Dragon Seed," is coming to the screen with Katherine Hepburn in the leading role. Frankly, we can't imagine her as a Chinese girl. Other members of the cast are Walter Huston, Akim Tamiroff, and Turhan Bey. It should be good if you like Pearl Buck's novels a great deal. We're not overly fond of them. Bette Davis also will be seen soon in "Mr. Skeffington" with Claude Rains. It is almost certain with two such fine actors that the picture will be good if only for the acting alone. That title sounds rather familiar. Wasn't there a book by that name? Right now, we can't recall the author's name. For those followers of Frank (Continued on Page 4) Page Three BUCKNELL BEACON Wednesday, July 26, 1944 BOOK REVIEW) POPULAR THE FOUNTAINHEAD BUCKNELLIAN By Ayn Rand The Fountainhead is undoubtedly the best novel your bookweary reviewer has read in a long time. It is an absorbing story of men and adeals. Architecture weaves and interweaves the lives of four men, two architects and two newspapermen. Howard Roark is the central figure in the novel. He is powerfully drawn. He stands above and beyond all compromise and his ideals are interwoven with his work as an architect. His work brings him in contact with a critic in architecture who is a virtual dictator. This critic makes or breaks a man by his insidious criticism . . . and these two men are pitted against each other. The other outstanding figure in the story is Wynand, the head of a chain of "yellow rags." His career is traced from his boyhood in the slums through to his rise as the owner of these tabloids. So much for the plot. This book is destined, in my opinion, to become one of the best of the decade. The story is deep, moving, powerful, and wholly satisfying. I urgently recommend it. -Ruth Holtzman. ----Y·---- FROSH FROLICS Among the class of summer freshmen who eatered the portals of Bucknell University Junior College on June 14, 1943, was one David Raffie Hart, known to his many friends as "Dave." Dave doesn't particularly care for his middle name and I doubt if many people knew before what it was. Dave is a Pennsylvanian by birth, but went to Alabama early in life and lived in Birmingham, the big steel center, for seven years, which probably accounts for his leisurely drawl at times. His first three years of high school were spent in Alabama where he went out for football and was a member of the Beta Club, the honor society. However, Dave graduated from Kingston High School. It was in Alabama ,t hat Dave had his first introduction to fly-ing. He was a member of the · school stage crew and fell off a thirty-foot ladder one day. The little grey haired old woman walked along River Street in deep thought. Suddenly she stopped and screamed, "The Martians have landed! The Martians have landed! !"-"No, my dear woman, the Martians have not landed. It's only the poor "frosh" being led to the slaughter." From my own expreience, I can tell you it certainly was a murderous affair. The uppercdassmen had us drawn, quartered, and then hung us up by the eyeballs from the nearest Dave has a unique position at tree, so to speak. All in all it Bucknell.

"Disc and Data" The thermometer goes up-it just doesn't seem to take in consideration that we have classes, and it sure is hard to concentrate. (It is hard for us to concentrate anyway, but that is beside the point.) A few of the males and females had a brilliant idea-a swim at Harvey's Lake-and back in time for their 2:30 class. It turned out to be quite a social event. These Freshmen are taking the upper classmen by something or other-can't quite figure out what-but it is something. Anyway John Woolmer and Ray W oynoski better set a date for the duel. The girl in question is none other than Jean Withey. By the way, the males outnumbered the fairer sex 2 to 1 on the swimming party. After the swim, there was dancing and not a girl had to sit one out! Dates, dates, and more dates! There just seems to be no end to them here at B. U. J. C. That's fine, isn't it? Sure it is because Friday nights are big nights anymore. There is dancing and after that, one never knows, does one? No, one doesn't 'cause Kryger and Novick, Watson and Kleinkauf, Hart and Steele, finally get together. Carl Goeringer would probably like to see that change a bit. Then there is the case of Joe Morris. 0. K., go ahead and agree with me-it's a bad case. Hershkowitz is doing all right for himself, so we'll let well enough alone. They tell me, up in Conyngham ,Wall and V anderlick are getting along fine. Billy Rozanski hopes one of the nights he has a car. But right now he and Pauline have to borrow one. Right? Sure wish Stein would give us the permission to see that "gal" of his. "Pep" Glowacki has been holding long conversations with Flossie. Elaine Williams should tell those Barons to "get on the ball." Listen my children, and you shall hear what has been the talk of the lounge.

Gee, I have so much to tell you I don't know where to start. It's certainly been lively around here lately. First of all we had a "Barter Luncheon." You know what that is; don't you? The girls made the lunch and the fellows did the bartering. It was loads of fun. We girls had the lunches wrapped up in fancy paper with our names inside. The fellows had to bid for the lunch and then eat it with the girl who made it. And those boys, all they thought of was quantity. Soon as Cap would hold a big box up and say "How much as I bid for - - " he got no further. Before he could even finish some hungry guy would dash up, plunk thirty-five cents in the astonished auctioneer's hand, grab the box, and rush to his seat with his mouth watering. But some of them got fooled. I guess they forgot that the best things always come in small packages. (That is, the material things, of course). Some of the small boxes were really h;eavy and many of the large ones were just camouflage. (Mine was pure sabotage-but we won't go into that). Several thousand persons were ill the next day as a result of eating pickles with ice cream but outside of that everyone had a good time. We've been trying to talk the boys into having another one with them making the lunch but they refuse. I can't understand it. Say, did you ever play "Truth or Consequences?" W h at ta game! We played it at the party last Friday night. Talk about fun. Dick Watson was the emcee, and you know how nutty he ·is. Well, he was perfect. He asked for volunteers. Dot, Irene, Pauland I promptly obliged. With very little trouble Stadulis, Rozanski, and Morris were recruited. Then Kleinkauf and Glowacki (Sophie) took the stand. We practically shanghied Donohue into it and once she was up there she gave Parker the sign and he sauntered up. When Stratton and Yates came up we were all set. Little did we know what we were in for. We'll learn. First off was Joe Morris who had as his consequences the description ,o f Jeanne Kleinkauf's dress and every time he made a mistake {he had his head in a pillow; by the way) she would hit him with a frying pan. He made out pretty good. Just one or two errors. Of course you understand that everyone had to take the consequences. The questions were so far fetched that even the M. C. didn't know the answers. But that made the game all .the more fun. As my consequence I had 1to open the windows and doors, stand in the middle of the statge, and shout out five nice things about myself at the top of my lungs. (Not nice things at the top of my lungs, but shout at the top of my lungs. Tch, Tch, Miller, misplaced phrase. What would Mr. Faint think?) I don't remember what I said but some of the kids told me I said I got into a size twelve dress once. Of all the things to say! Oh, well, I really did-once. Then everyone nearly split their sides laughing when Stadu(Continued on Page 4) �.?age .Four URGES UNITY (Continued from Page 1) Wednesday, July 26, 1944 BUCKNELL BEACON •• NI •••• •• First, we have failed to recognize where we are going.

No. 18. I Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania I Student Federalist Organize Chapter The newest organization on the campus is 1:he Student Federalists. This club is a national organization for the promotion of a world federation of nations. The plan follows closely that of Clarence Strei,t in his book, " Union Now". The Student Federalists were organized in Scarsdale, New York, by Harris Wofford, a high school student, in January, 1941. Since then it has grown to over twenty-five chapters. The great interest in this plan for world peace shows that the youth of America can think s•iously about world problems and want to show that they are vitally interested in solving them. This is their way of proving that they are not primarily concerned with the frivolities that are usually connected with youth. They want to help make this peace a lasting one. To do this the Student Federalists propose the forming of a federal union of all free peoples, identical in principle with the United States, Canada ,or Switzerland. Student Federalis>ts are trying to achieve this goal by arousing public opinion and creating a consciousness of this plan in the minds of everyone who might be concerned no matter in how small a way. Bucknell students have organized a chapter of the Student Federalists, and these officers have been elected: President, Blmer Hershkowitz; vice-president, Betty Faint; secretary, Evelyn Feinstein; treasurer, Seymour Bachman. Since this chapter is 1:he only one in the area of northeastern Pennsylvania, the members are planning to organize other chapters 1n the various schools in this vicinity which are having summer sessions. The real work will begin this fall, however, when the schools open. It is the hope of the local chapter that a branch of this organization can be started in every school. The students a•t Bucknell, especially should be interested in this movement since, as college students, they will be the leaders of the future, and in order to be good citizens they must be wellinformed.

"C'MON STUDENTS LET'S GOI" ot Bucknell Is On The Air OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ONCE BlJY WAR BONDS �Wednesday, June 28, 1944 UNROLLING THE REEL By PHYLLIS SMITH Prom what we've been hearing, "Gaslight", the current hit uptown, starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, and Joseph Cotton, promises to be in the same class as "The Uninvited" for chills and thrills. Some of you probably remember "Gaslight" as the Broadway stage hit, "Angel Street". Joseph Cotton is also coming to the screen in "Since You Went Away". This is a modern love story set against a war background in which Cotton plays a Naval officer. Claudette Colbert gives up her glamorous roles to play a mother in this film with Jannifer Jones and Shirley Temple as h;er daugihte~. Robert Walker provides the love interest. We're still urging you not to miss "The White Cliffs" which brings to •t he screen the dramatization of the late Alice Duer Miller's poem. We've heard it read by Lynn Fontaine and have read the volume ourselves several times and it still remains one of our favorites. It will take a great star like Irene Dunne to do justice to the part. There is a splendid cast consisting of Dame May Whitty, Van Johnson, Alan Marshal, Roddy McDowall, and a promising new star, Peter Lawford. Edna Ferber's intriguing "Saratoga Trunk" is coming to the screen with Ingrid Bergman as Clio. Gary Cooper plays opposite her. Flora Robson, the English actress, is donning Negro make-up to play the New Orleans Negro-French-Indian maf Angelique in the story. It promises to be worth seeing. It goes without saying that "Cover Girl" should be good if you like Gene Kelly and beau•tiful Rita Hayworth. (And who doesn't?) Jess Barker who appeared in "Government Girl" also appears in this film. A picture which should rank with "Boys Town" and "The Sullivans" is "Going My Way," starring Bing Crosby as a young singing priest. Barry Fitzgerald has the role of Father Fitzgibbon his crotchety, lovable superior. Rise Stevens of the Metropolitan Opera makes his appearance in the picture. Also coming to the screen is Andrew Cronin's famous book, "The Keys of the Kingdom". Gregory Peck in his second appearance on the screen has won the coveted role of Father Francis Chisholm. Roddy McDowall will play the priest as a boy. ----¥---- Something New's Been Added Have you seen it? Isn't it grand? It's just what we've been waiting for. It's just what old students like to have and new students can't be without. What is it? Why, the · new student manual of course. It's just a little brown booklet-but it's oh, so important. It's really surprising that such a little thing can tell you so very much. Do you want to know about the college grading system? Are you interested in requirements for graduation?

Are you curious to know BUCKNELL BEACON BOOK REVIEW 1 POPULAR Fun A'La Farley THE COLUMNISTS By Charles Fisher Charles Fisher has written a book that is particularly timely. During war time the public is wont to listen to the various news analysists and read the daily columns with more faith than in peace time. Fisher calls his book "a surgical survey" of the columnists. He has taken the leading newsmen of •t he day and subjected them to a keen analysis; the author holds them up to the highest journalistic standards and some of these columnists are found lacking. Dorothy Thompson, leading woman in the field; Ray Clapper, who believed in being on the spot to report news; Walter Lippman, ex-liberal; Pegler with his unrestrained vocabulary; Winchell; Ernie Pyle; Pearson and Allan; all these and many others pass under Fisher's microscope. He reveals the methods by which they gather their material, he tells you how they work, wh_at their salary is, and he includes personal histories and illustrative anecdotes ... all of which makes for an informative, interesting book that moves swiftly and is easily read. Mr. Fisher has his own opinion about each of these columnists and doesn't hesitate to voice it; however he includes enough background and history of the individual columnist •t o allow the reader to form his own opinion. -Ruth Holtzman.

Hi, Honey! Say, do I have something to tell you. Remember I to ld you I was invited to the Bucknetl Dinner Dance at the Hotel Sterling? Well, I went. And did I have a marvelous time! Johnny and I arrived about 7:00 P . M. and we went up to the mezzanine. The girls all looked darling in •their summer gowns and the fellows, especially Johnny, looked stunning. He sent me white carnations, by the way. We went in for dinner at about 7:30 and the boys all looked so very solemn holding the girls' chairs out for them. It really was exciting. But formals always are, aren't they? The dinner was delicious. .Johnny said he ate before he came because he was afraid he'd be hungry but he sure was sorry when he couldn't find room for the ice cream. Bob Barnum and Giff Cappellini both kidded the life out of each other in their respective speeches about the picnic and they both became serious when it came to saying "goodbye" to the Sophomores. And •then "Punch" gave us her wonderful rendition of "Deep Purple" and Johnny clapped so hard I thought he was going to fall out of his chair. After that we all joined in to sing a few college songs and it was loads of fun. Johnny didn't know the words but he moved his mouth and he thought I thought he was singing. Gee, he's swell. Then came the dancing a.bout nine. The orchestra was Jack Melton's and they and their singer, Miss Marian Caruso, were really on the beam. They dimmed the lights and the dance was perfect. We left about 11 :30 after having a super time. All ,t he kids from school agreed later that it was grand. Too bad you couldn't make it. I know you would have had a swell time. You know, Johnny's swell but you should see the fellow I was out with last week. Was he super! I will tell you about him some other 'time. Right now I have a class so I have to run. G'by now. .

I {Continued from Page 1) from home is two to three times as much, and this additional cost 11eans that many s•tudents can not go to college. 5,000 students graduate ~rom Luzerne County High Schools annually. The percentage of hese graduates entering college ts 4 o/o below the average for the State. Applying established percentages, it is estimated that 675 students will eniter college each year. 400 or 500 of these students would be candidates for a local four-year college. Due to the draft of the eigheen years old high school graduates, Bucknell University Junior College cannot expect normal peace-time enrollment as long as he war lasts. Thus, additional ncome 1s needed from other sources. The withdrawal of the Army Air Corps cadets left the college faced with several alternatives . However, the Trustees chose to use this crisis as an incentive to finance ,the conversion of the Junior College into an independent, locally operated, full four-year college, under a new name, with adequate endowment for self-support. The campaign appeal is being conducted now to business concerns, corpora-tions, ndividuals and the general pubic. It must be remembered also hat 110,000 men from Northeastern Pennsylvania are in the armed services of our country. It . is estima•ted that about 11,000 of these men will seek an oppor• unity for further training, and probably will prefer to live at home while they continue their education after having been out of the country for several years. At present, Scranton is the only community in the area with a four-year college for men. There should be a college in WilkesBarre ready to serve the 40,000 veterans from its environs. Ordinarily, education 1s considered in terms of a life-time investment. However, there are immediate gains for any community that supports a college. In the case of Wyoming Valley, during the last fifteen months a contingent of 250 cadets brought $650,000 to Wilkes-Barre. A student body of 1,000 would keep in or bring to Wilkes-Barre between $500,000 and $1,000,000 each year. A local four-year college would make available an ample supply of trained men and women, and provide research and technological services for local industries. It could also offer special night courses for the benefit of company personnel. Bucknell University Junior Colege has four buildings, at present, which were gifts to the college, and a library of 10,000 se.: lected volumes. The Board of Trustees of Bucknell University has repeatedly offered complete independence to the Junior College. Howeyer, during the transition period ·nto a four-year college, the Jun·or College would retain its present relationship with Bucknell University bu,t would continue to finance itself without advance of funds from the University. When the college was chartered, all assets held for the Junor College would be transferred to the new community college.

Several graduates were unable to be present because of war work, service in the armed forces or classes at another college. This summer there have been two additions to the summer faculty. They are Miss Katherine H. Bone and Mr. Joseph S. Knapper. Miss Bone, who resides in Forty Fot1t, teaches Chemistry and Physics at Forty Fort High School during the regular school year. At Forty Fort School Miss Bone holds the position of Head of the Science Departmenit. She is a graduate of Penn State Colllege and Bloomsburg State Teachers' College where she received her B.

Mr~ Knapper · has also done some additional work toward a PhD degree. He has been teaching Physics and Mathematics at Penn State and last year taught at Penn State Junior College in Pottsville.

The purpose of a community college is to bring the college to the student by building the college in large centers of population. It also offers the type of education needed by students of the community. A community college also offers continuous service to adults, industries, and public officials. Evening courses are offered for men and women who can only study at night, and public forums are initiated so the citizens may discuss problems ,t hat are significant. The immediate purpose of the Endowment Fund campaign is to increase the present endowment and to advance the college toward its ul,t imate goal.

(No cracks, please). We are feeling rather blue about the whole thing, because we have just learned that some of our friends do not read our column. Not that we entirely blame them, but after all one must suffer some things for the sake of friendship . This is just to remind them that it is written with "Blood, sweat, and tears." Well, now that we have got-ten that off our chest, we can go on to something brighter. Strictly speaking, it isn't in our department but we thought you might be interested in Louella Parsons' book, "The Gay Illiterate," a story of how she became a Hollywood reporter, and some of her experiences with the great and near great of Cinemaland. We have inentioned it before, but we'll repeat: Don't miss "The White Cliffs of Dover." It promises to be an outstanding picture. Directed by Clarence Brown, the picture comes to the screen with a cast including Irene Dunne, Alan Marshal, Roddy McDowall, Van Johnson, Dame May Whitty, Frank Morgan, C. Aubrey Smith, and Gladys Cooper. (M-G-M ought to give us a commission for this plug). Looking ahead to future films, we recommend "Address Unknown" with Paul Lukas and K. T. Stevens, which is the dramatization of a slim volume of letters written from the U. S. A. to Nazi Germany, a story which was pathetic and realistic. Also "The Eve of St. tfark" promises to be good. You remember the play on Broadway about a young soldier, fresh from the farm, who dies on Bataan. Some time ago we mentioned that Van Johnson was coming to the screen in a picture called ''Two Girls and a Sailor" or something to that effect. Well, we are almost tempted not to tell this, but we n-e ed material for our column. The most coveted male role of the year, that of Lt. Tex Lawson in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" has fallen to the Johnson lad. (The book can be purchased quite cheaply in any book store uptown) . Hollywood will probably make a lot of money from the Johnson fans at Bucknell, some of whom see all his pictures at least four times. ( Don't groan, Wertheimer). Aren't you glad this column's finished? I am. ----V---- DINNER DANCE TO BE HELD Annual dinner dance of Bucknell Junior College will be held ip the Crystal Ballroom at Hotel Sterling on Wednesday evening, June 7 at 7 o'clock.

Healey, wardan of the Luzerne County prison, spoke I to the students of Bucknell University Junior College at an informal assembly in Kirby Hall on April 24, 1944. The Warden spoke on the juvenile delinquency problem, which he believes to be a vital one, for the youth of today will represent the citizens of tomorrow. Several interesting facts which he related were that crime starts .in the American home, and that the present criminals are those who have no religious affiliation.

Co 104 NOBODY LOVES A MOTHER-IN-LAW or The Beacon Uncovers A Ptessing Problem Of Today Why is it that modern America has what is called in plain, everyday language, a "mother-in-law" complex? · Why does everyone and his brother dislike their mother-inlaw? Oh, of course there are some exceptions but these are exceedingly few and exceptionally far between. It would not be surpnsmg to find soon that young girls are loathe to grow up because they fear that some day they might become someone's mother-in-law and thus be subject to all the jokes and stories written and told daily about mothers-in-law. These stories instilled in the minds of youngsters will definitely give them the "mother-in-law complex" in later life. For example, this was -overheard in the movies the other day: "Mommy, that man said that we are all descendants of monkeys . Am I a descendant of a monkey?" The heartless mother replied, "I don't know, dear but when I look at my mother-in-law I certainly think so." Now isn't that a wonderful thing to instill in the mind of a small boy? Can you imagine how that child will lie in its bed and worry, hour after hour, for fear that his grandmother will some day turn into an ape? And that is only one of the many incidents whch are occurring every day all over the country. Are mothers-in-law such formidable characters that they have become the "bogey man" of the modern American home? Is it right that irate fathers should threaten their naughty children with remarks such as this: "If you don't behave '.I'll get the old battle axe after you." "Battleaxe," of course, referring again to the unfortunate mother-in-law. Without a thought for the consequences fathers say things like this to minds not old enough to judge for themselves.

Election Held On Monday, April 10, 1944, the members of the Bucknell Glee Club met in the music room of Kirby Hall to discuss plans for singing at the convocation, as is their usual practice, and to elect two members, a president and a vice president. The former president, Helen Bitler, was forced to withdraw tempor• arily from school because of illness, and the former vice president, Mary Jane Varker, com• pleted her two years of study in January, under the accelerated program. Marcella Novak, secretary of the club, held office as temporary chairman until the elections took place. Ruth Punshon was selected as the new president, and Carol Ruth was elected vice president. l)pon the conclusion of the voting Professor Gies discussed the selections which would be sung at convocation. The chorus is divided for three-part singing, soprano, alto and low alto. The music will be arranged for these voices. The Glee Club will meet every other Monday until the remainder of the semester for one hour to work on these selections. Every member is required to be present ·at every meeting unless excusd by the president for illness. ---V--JUST GAB (Continued from Page 2 ) Betty Faint and the lo-o-ong bannister in Kirby Hall.

No. 16 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania SYMPOSIUM HELD ON MERITS OF STREIT PLAN A symposium made up of Bucknell students in the various history classes was held in Chase Theatre, Friday night, March 31. The group discussed the Streit Plan, a plan for union of all the world democracies. Dr. Nicholson, the moderator, began the discussion by introducing Ruth Punshon and Jean Donohue who gave a history of the author and the basic rules of the plan. Miss Punshon spoke first. She told of the life of Charles K. Streit, the author of the plan. Although a native of Missouri, Streit spent his early life as a journalist in Montana. Lat.ei;, he was sent to Europe about 1929 by the New York Times to act as special reporter for the League of Nations.. During the ten years he spent there Mr. Streit was able to observe Europe on the trail toward the Second World War. Finally he came to the conclusion that the League could never keep peace because it was a league, rather than a union. This League of Nations was much like the United States under the Articles of Confederation. It was merely a collection of governments, which had no power to compel the citizenry of the members to play ball with it. With these things in mind, Streit wrote his famous "Union Now" in 1939 in which he urged a union of all the democracies existing at that time. In 1941 he wrote another book, "Union Now With Britain". In this book he modified his plan to include only the United States and the British Empire. Miss Donohue, speaking next, told of the basic fundamentals of "Union Now". There would be a union of fifteen democracies of the world: the United States or the American Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Union of South Africa, Canada, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, and Norway. Other states, as soon as they proved themselves true democracies, would be allowed to enter the union. Each State in the union would surrender only those rights necessary for the continuance of the union. Each citizen would have two citizenships, that of his own state and that of the union. The ruling bodies would be a Supreme Executive Body, consisting of five men who would rotate the pres- idency among them, and a Supreme Congress, composed of a Senate and a Lower House, based on our own Congress. Colonies would be pooled and trained for eventual admittance to the union. Free trade would bind the nations together .. Next the merits of the plan were discussed. First to speak was Elmer Hershkowitz who gave his opinion on the value of the plan. He pointed out that such a world union would eliminate the necessity on the part of the United States of keeping a large standing army and of maintaining the expenses of that army. Second speaker for the affirmative was Jeanne Kocyan who gave some specific merits of the plan. Among these were the facts that these democracies were the oldest and most homogenous democracies. Closely linked as they · were, they all have a common. democratic background. They all also have a common enemy. As more and more countries qualified for admittance, the absolute and aggressive powers would therefore become constantly weaker and more isolated. Then, too, the free trade would help to ~aise the standard of living throughout the world union. The last speaker for the affirmative was Willard Goodman. Mr. Goodman stressed the problems of Russia and China who certainly could not be left out of any world union. The first speaker for the negative side was John Moore. He talked about the problem of this war and how it prevents the plan from being carried out now. Jean Franklin was the second speaker. She emphasized the most glaring aspects of the plan. The American people and the peoples of the other democracies as well appear unwilling to give up their sovereignty. Mr. Hershkowitz then summed up all the points given in the rebuttal by saying that he believed the plan would work in the future, but not now. The world, he maintained, is too immature for it as yet. A general discussion of the plan then followed the symposium. After that there was dancing in Chase Hall. STUDENTS ENJOY RECORDS On Friday, April 14 at 3:30 there was presented a program of records in the music room for the enjoyment of the students of Bucknell Junior College and visitors. The program began with records of "The White Cliffs of Dover" read by Lynn Fontanne. The story behind the poem was that of the marriage of an American girl to a British soldier who was killed during the last war, and it continued with the life of her son and his later participation in the present war. The next presentation was a series of six records of Raymond ·M assey as Abraham Lincolo in excerpts from the Pulitzer prize play. They included his declaration of love to Ann Rutledge, his decision to break his engagement with Mary Todd, his prayer for the recovery of a friend's son who was ill in a covered wagon, his discussion of the rights of the negro to freedom and life in a free country, his farewell speech before leaving home to assume the presidency in time of civil strife, and his famous speech on the declaration of civil war, closing with "a house divided against itself cannot stand. This nation cannot exist halfslave and half- free." The recordings 'of Miss Fontanne and Mr. Massey provided worthwhile e11tertainment that will not soon be forgotten. It is to be hoped that these affairs may be continued in the future. ----V---- MOVIE PARTY HELD "Beau Geste" was the featured attraction at the movie party held Saturday night, March 25. The picture, shown in Chase Theatre, recounted the tale of the fabulous sapphire, the "Blue Water", and how it caused the three Geste brothers to run away to join in the French Foreign Legion. Out of the three, only John, the youngest, came back home to England to tell the story of their adventures. The three brothers, Beau, Digby, and John, were portrayed by Gary Cooper, Preston Foster, and Ray Millard, respectively. After the movie, there was dancing to the strains of the in----V---HELP THE BOYS AND GIRLS evitable juke box and games Refreshments IN SERVICE - BUY ANOTHER in Chase Hall. BOND. were also served. Monday, May 1, 1944 MUSIC PROGRAM GIVEN On March 30 at 8 :00 P. M. the music room was the scene of an. assemblage of college and · high school students to listen to a planned program of music played on the Carnegie set by .Professor Giese who sketched briefly the different periods of music, giving the students a small idea of the origin of different types of music. The music selected was played from the earliest Gregorian Chants up to and including modern music. After the entertaining lecture the guests were served tea in the reception room of Chase Hall, where a discussion of the music played took place. Co-chairmen of the committee in charge of the affair were Marcella Novak and Carol Ruth. They were assisted by Pauline Lastowski, Betty Faint, Helen Janoski, Kathryn Hiscox, and Ruth Punshon. Miss Sangiuliano supervised and aided with the work of the committee. ----V---- DR. MILLER SPEAKER Dr. Joseph Miller, professor of psychology and philosophy at Bucknell University Junior College, spoke to the student body in assembly 011 Monday morning, March 27. Dr. Miller humorously referred to his topic as "How to Keep Out of An Insane Asylum". He spoke about the different types of people, and listed about five general types of people. Dr. Miller gave a resume of his experiences in examining the selectees at the Wilkes-Barre Induction Center. Among the things which Dr. Miller stressed was the development of a favorable attitude toward life. He stated that it was more necessary than ever in wartime that peu?le keep in good mental health . ----V---W ork on the annual Spring pageant has begun in the Eurythemic classes under the direction of Miss Sangiuliano.

Plans for the pageant are only tentative as yet, but at present Miss Sangiuliano is working oti a Dream Sequence from "Raggedy Ann". The pageant will probably be one of the most important affairs this spring. ----V---BUY ANOTHER WAR BOND. In view of the fact that so many post-war plans are being discussed today, the Beacon decided to make the Student Poll question this month: "What do you think we should do with the Germans after the war? Do you believe that there should be compulsory reeducation of the German people in the democratic ways of life by the Allies?" Most of the students asked feel that there should be re-education but that the German people should be given a chance to live decent, normal lives once more. Among the opinions received were: Harvey Trachtenburg- "The German people sho.uld be treated on a humanitarian basis after the war. On.ly by a system of re-education will it be possible to change the ' bloody complex' of the Germans. I do believe that through a broadminded re-education system the Germans can readily adapt themselves to democratic principles." Marian Ganard-"I think that there should be compulsory education of the Germans after the war. It will probably take a good deal of time but I think it can be done." Kathryn Hiscox-"! think they should have compulsory education. The Germans have been compulsorily educated by the Nazis and we'll have to use the same methods. But we must be careful that the education program doesn't turn into mere . spreading of propaganda. We have to teach the Germans to think for themselves and use their own minds." A11thony Zekas-"After the war the G erman military leaders should have a trial before the World Courts . The German people as a nation should be given an opportunity to rebuild wi1/1 the aid and supervision of tlie Allies." Ruth Holtzman - "Compulsory re-education is a wonderful idea, but can it be accomplished? How? What programs? I think the Germans will be able to reeducate themselves providing we carry the war far enough . One of the grave errors of the last war was that we stopped too soon. This war should be carried straight through Germany on German s.o il so the civilized population can get a good look at it. Then their re-education will go in the direction we want it to without direct Allied interference." �Page Two BUCKNELL BEACON .-=====---===============~ BDIGJ'ORIALJ Monday, May 1, 1944 zo·o LOGV ' ENTHUSIASTS THE BUCKNELL BEACON Vol. 7 No. 16 Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 1, 1944 EDITORIAL STAFF Co-Editors . . ...

II A WORD TO THE WISE .. . II In the past the -s tudents of Bucknell University Junior College have always maintained extremely high standarcls of conduct in regard to their behavior and respect for the school and its property. The advantages which we enjoy now are the result of the hard work and thrift of classes which were here ahead of us. We realize that because this is wartime people are inclined to think and do things which they would not do or be allowed to do in a normal world. However, this does not mean that just because there is a war on we can relax all standards of conduct and be free to do what we please. Rather, it should me~n that we should be all the more careful of what we do and what we have. These are hard times for any college to carry on, and now more than ever before a college needs the support and cooperation of all its students. When we speak of school property, we mean in particular the furniture in the lounges, and the use of the Music Room. There have been things happening lately that no one likes to see happen. We feel that perhaps certain students have only been heedless or forgetful. However, we hope that in the future they will be more thoughtful and so not make it necessary for certain rules and regulations to be set up and enforced. It is wise to remember that the reputation of a college often depends upon that of its students, and we are trying to build up and expand our school, not tear down the existing foundations. Finally, we are confident that a warning is all that is necessary, and that there will be an end to any basis for criticism. VOTVOUl2l21 By JEAN DONOHUE Almost Confidential: My public has been after me again to write ~y column. Bugeye keeps flattering me about how utterly devoid of attraction is the paper without Potpourri. That we thought was rather rugged.

We will miss that heavenly odor, Chlorine No. 5, which pervaded us and the unfortunate places upon whom we visited our presences. No joke. When the wind was blowing south, the waitresses in one of our watering places would start to fix our pineapple walnut chocolate sundies, fifteen minutes before we even came into sight. Excuse the interruption, to go on to more serious things. It was particularly gratifying that every one was so spontaneous in their generosity for the church collection that was taken a couple of weeks ago. That was the best use our spare coin has been put to in a long time. SIDELIGHTS What happened to Bugeye?the dog. We said dog to differ(Continued on Page 4) Ed.

KARNOFSKY One of the co-editors came and asked my colleague and I to write an article about a week in Zoo lab. We looked at each other in consternation. I "Zoo lab! It's dull! Nothing ever happens!" Our next Zoo lab we took notice. It just happened that on that day our cats appeared-dead, injected, to be dissected. The first step was to skin the cat, something we hadn't done since we were kids. In the process, hunks of fat were discovered under the skin, f -d , h at oesn t t at suggest something? You guessed it.

Our stream of many visitors, each of whom inquire upon viewing the mess that was rmce a cat, "How can you touch the thing? " were enlightened by one of the students who described in detail her experiences with an earthworm. For two labs she sat and looked, the third lab she picked it up, and has been good frien ls with every crawling thing, living or dead, since. But to get back to the cat, there was a very interesting tugof-war between Dr. Ward and a student who desired to separate the tailbones from the skin. Dr. Ward proved her strength and one bone separated from one tail. Now one bit of evidence before we cease. If you have to stand on that crowded bus at night, we have a remedy.

We've been wondering lately about the student poll appearing in the Beacon. A good question may be: Can we ever have a woman President? Our answer is "No" because one of the requirements is a President must be thirty-five years of age or more. Or we could interrogate the students on their favorite movie of th e year . We'd be very anxious to hear Dougy's opinion of a "Guy Named Joe ." Then again we might question the Zoology students on cats . We know that would be up their alley. Getting back ot the movies.

" Let's start with Jo Stafford and her simply smooth rendition of Cole Porter's beautiful "I Love You" and Jo makes you believe it. There on the reverse is that up and coming Jerome Kern melody, " Long Ago and Far Away." There's a combination that can' t be beat. Two great composers, two beautiful melodies, and a super-smooth voca list. It's a "must." And here's something that's really news! Soon to be released by Victor is an album called " Smoke Rings" , which packages eight of your favorite torch ballads as they were originally waxed by master maestri: "These Foolish Things" -Benny Goodman. " I Got It Bad"-Duke Ellington. " Once in a While"-Tommy Dorsey. " Intermezzo" - Freddie Martin. " My Reverie"-Larry Clinton. "All the Things You Are"Artie Shaw. " Moon Love"-Sammy Kaye. . Honestly, kids, this album is just tops! The "Shoo Shoo Girl", Ella Mae Morse, has scored again! Have you heard " Tess's Torch Song"? There's a terrific tune that's headed for the top. Miss Morse really gives out with the music in this number and also · the one on the reverse " Milkman, Keep Those Bottles. Quiet" from " Broadway Rhythm." Say, have you heard Andy Russell yet? He's a 24 year old ba ritone who is really going places. Hear him sing "Besame Mucho». He really puts it over. Here are just a few of the latest most popular recordings: " Holiday for Strings"-David Rose. " Now I Know"-Dinah Shore. " Here We Go Again"-Glenn Miller. " I'll Get By"-King Sisters. An old favorite, Gershwin's " Rhapsody In Blue" is still just .as popular as it always was. There's a Glenn Miller recording which is right up there, and then there's Andre Kostelanetz's version of the entire number, assisted by Alec Templeton. Whichever one you take, it's still a Gershwin melody and that speaks for itself.

The gift has been accepted with gratitude and the realization that the music of this artist w~ll be used to its fullest extent. When Mr. Johnstone first opened his studio at 21 North Franklin street, it was as a branch of the Braun School of Music. But within a few years Mr. Johnstone took over the studio and carried on himself for many years. He has taught many of the artists of the valley as well as those from without the state. To these pupils and to his fri~nds he always endeared himself, and to those who had chosen the path of music he gave encouragement. In the collection are opera scores, concertos, violin works, books on musical subjects, music for wood ensembles, volumes and sheet music of piano works of the classical and romantic periods, as well as the music cases and stands in which the music is kept. This gift augments the music set and library of records presented to the college in 1939 by the Carnege Corporation. A speciaill y designed recording machine and 650 well selected records are included i~ the set. The records include symphonies, choral works, operas, concertos for piano, wind, and string instruments, chamber music, and solo works for voice, violin, piano, harp, 'cello, and the wind instruments. The coHection so far assembled will provide the basic materials required for the establishment of a d epartment of music in the years following the war. - British ambassador to the United States, during his recent visit to Wyoming Valley, "Both the Germans and the J aps are feeling the weight of the Allied force more and more every day. We must not get the idea, however, that this isn't going to be a hard fight," said the ambassador. Lord Halifax referred to his visit to the city as a distinct privilege . He declared that it is not only a privilege, but also the duty of an ambassador to get around and see and meet the people of the United States. After visiting City Hall, where he had been taken upon his arrival from Scranton, his Lordship spoke at St. Stephen's Church House where an audience taxed the hall, main floor, and balcony. In the audience were a number of Junior College students. During the entire activities Lord Halifax gave the impression that there must not be any let down in the war effort in America regardless of optimistic reports. Following the program at St. Stephen's Church, Lord Halifax concluded his activities in the city at a reception at the Westmoreland Club where he was the honored guest. ----V Important Assembly Held On Monday, March l3 th , there was presented before the student body at an assembly meeting the proposal of having a student manual printed for the benefit of incoming Freshmen. The matter had been previously discussed at a StudentFacll(lty Council meeting with unanimous approval. Miss Sangiuliano presided over the meeting in Dr. Farley's absence, and she brought up several points for discussion. Dr. Strow and Dr. _Craig, present at the meeting, also gave additional information to the students, The suggestion that we keep the information included in the last manual was accepted by the assembly, and the possibility of the addition of a removable calendar of dates of social events for the year was considered, together with the possibility of several other rules. The handbook will be printed in sufficient quantities to cover a period of approximately six semesters. FACULTY Thespians Pledge New Members The Thespian society of Bucknell University Junior College recently pledged two new members to its ranks. It has been the custom to pledge all new members at one time, but this year due to wartime difficulties that practice has been changed. Carol Ruth, sophomore, and John Dzwilesb, freshman, are the two who have been pledged, Carol is taking the accelerated course and will convocate in June. John entered the armed forces several weeks ago and is now at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass., under the Navy V-12 program. Carol Ruth appeared last year in the "Cradle Song," and this year in "Moorborn" as one of the famous Bronte sisters. John Dzwileski also appeared in "Moorborn," portraying the role of the old father in the play. Other new members of the Thespians will be pledged later this semester. STUDENTS PRESENT PLAYS On Friday evening, March 17, a St. Patrick's Night program was presented by students of the college. The Student Council was in charge of the activities and Mary Kenny presided. Ruth Punshon was pianist for the evening. Miss Sangiuliano planned and sponsored the entire program. One of the main events of the evening was the presentation of two one-act plays which were produced and directed by members o.f the Art class. The first play was " Moonshine" by Arthur Hoffman, directed by Phyllis Smith. In the cast were Robert Lehet who took the part of a Revenue Officer, and David Hart, who portrayed Luke Hazy, a Kentucky mountaineer. "Mind Over Matter" by E.

KARNOFSKY Well, here we are in the Ides of March "Ides" meaning I'd like to pay you now, but Morgenthau got me first• Speaking of March 15 (and who isn't) we hope Dr. May remembered to subtract his new addition. We wonder if the poor Hitch:Hikers have to pay Thumb Tax. Dr. Strow certainly has a grand sense of humor, but when the good Dr. starts kidding about his hair, we see nothing to laugh at. While we are sticking our neck out, we might mention Prof. Gies, for we feel sure that "Pop" would make a perfect interlocutor after all the practice he has had in greeting his Army classes with "Gentlemen, be seated." By the way, if any of you Freshmen are in a quandry concerning a man in a green plaid shirt, leaving Chase HaH at odd hours, in all kinds of weather, making his way to a certain Church, let us put you straight. It is none other than our own Dr. Rief doing what he can to increase man's knowledge of his feathered friends. It is with this thought in mind that Dr. Rief takes regular count of Starlings in the Steeple, and not Bats in the Belfry, We don't know what the cause is, but Mr. Trachtenberg seems worn out, the rings under his eyes are so big, his nose looks as if it were riding a bicycle. He There is a feeling running currently through the student body for the promotion of an Easter formal dance. The Student Council, the medium through which such affairs are decided upon and held, is the body which would naturally make the decision in this instance, but first it is advisable to present several points which might affect the decision in the Beacon. The student enrollment has dropped considerably, and with it the amount received for such affairs by the student activity fee has correspondingly decreased. It would be necessary therefore to hold the dance at Kirby Hall to avoid a large expenditure for a hall. A review of the opinions of several sophomores (Continued on Page 4) shows that the majority are in favor of an informal ---V'--dance, if any. The traditional dinner dance to be held in June will be formal, and that, it seems to be "Elegy Of A felt, should be the only formal dance for the semesFreshman" ter in view of the present state of national affairs. Hi ya, Kids! Know what's ho 7 SERVING THE COMMUNITY Within the past few weeks this college has entertained and aided over one hundred high school students. That is something of a record for a college of its size. It is quite a record for any college. The programs presented included drama, art, and music, all of cultural value. This might be called serving the community. There is no doubt that this is a very important function of a college, to serve the community in which it is. In the past Bucknell University Junior College has always done its best to satisfy the needs of the community. But in a world torn and wrecked by war the needs have grown larger. There has been a wave of juvenile delinquency sweeping over the United States. We do not wish this to happen or to continue. Our future citizens should have the proper training so that they may grown up to be the right kind of people. If this training is not available at home, then the schools and colleges must take a hand. At present this college is striving, despite the obstacles, to become a four-year school. This is a worthy and most important aim, and we can help to carry it out by earning a reputation for service in the community. To do this we must all work together and continue to co-operate on future programs.

From all reports, life in the Zoo Lab is going on at a sharp clip, what with the sharks and frogs that those eager beavers are so busily carving into shreds. It's an extraordinary thing, The minute that Zoo Lab is over, there's a wild dash to get washed. However, whenever any of these embryonic Zoologists meet any victiiljls in the street, they wave their !\\hands in front of them a la Houdini in order that unsuspecting people may get the full benefit of the clinging vapors of the formaldehyde and shark's oil which they've been using. This is really difficult for us to bear personally because of the fact that many of our friends take Zoology. The proximity of the Susquehanna is a constant reminder of what could be done. But enough of these morbid thoughts. We'll skip over to something that's on the brighter side of the ledger. Namely, Psychology class, that conglomeration of souls that unfortunately have no permanent home are continually on the move. Admittedly, there are three classes a week, two held in Kirby, and one in Conyngham. That's as much as anyone knows. We can well remember the day when we confidently climbed three fli-ghts of stairs on a cold wet d,a y, only to find that the room was empty except for one M. Phyllis Smith, who was commencing to get a little worried. She had definite grounds as we later learned because the class was very much at home down on the first floor. It's very confusing. It's bad on our morale, At this point we are getting a little desperate for copy, and have gone around soliciting aid. Miss Rogers suggested that we expand on the beautiful spring weather. We agree to try. Isn't it beautiful and springlike?

For some it provides the opportunity to become heroes, for others it gives a new meaning to family, home and the comfort of civilian life, for still others it is a period of searching self-appraisal with a resultant determination to accomplish more in the future, but for a few it furnishes the means of bringing special abilities to the attention of the world at large , It is in this latter category that author Hargrove belongs. To the millions of Americans who are especially interested in military life, either because of personal service, or friends or relatives in uniform, "See Here, Private Harg,i:ove" should> be particularly appealing. The story is a very humorous, somewhat philosophical, and quite accurate account of the life of a recruit in today's army. It contains a wealth of information for the man about to enter military service, and the author's advice on how to get along in this new life ought not to be disregarded. This reviewer would have welcomed such counsel before he served his own tour of duty in the army. "See Here, Private Hargrove" is a story about the author's constant difficulties with army customs and regulations. The author spends endless hours doing that most widely known of army jobs, k. p . (kitchen police to you) . He graduates from this to a series of unfortunate differences with the proverbial!~ tough sergeant, suffers through agonizing hikes, is given up as a soldier by his sergeant and is selected to be trained as a cook. He is equally unsuccessful in this field and is fina~ly rescued from the wrath of the mess sergeant by a transfer to the public relations office. Life becomes quite bearable at this point except for the constant hounding of his friends for the money which he has borrowed from them. It is to satisfy their demands that Hargrove has written this book in an attempt to raise money• We are not told whether he succeeds in extricating himself from debt, but the success of his book would seem to make that obvious. Edward Thomas Marion Lawton Hargrove (his full name) was the feature editor for the Charlotte News of Charlotte, North Carolina, when his own copy of "Greetings from the President" set him upon a military career. He is now a sergeant on the staff of the army newspaper "Yank." Portions of the book originally appeared in a series of articles in the Charlotte News and were later published in book form through the efforts of Maxwell Anderson, the playwright, who also writes a foreword to the book. While "The Private Papers of Private Purkey" by H. I. Phillips and "C/ 0 Postmaster" by Thomas St. George have been written in the same vein and are eq~ally entertaining, "See Here, Private Hargrove" bids fair to be the most popular book about the soldier of World War II. Elmer J. Herskowitz. FRESHMEN HOLD PARTY CHASE Recently a party was held in Chase Theater and Chase Hall for the incoming freshman. The first part of the program was a full length motion picture, "Foreign Correspondent," starring Joel McCrea and Laraine Day. A cartoon about Robinson Crusoe preceded the feature picture. The second half consisted of dancing, to the rhythms of the juke-box, refreshments, an d games. This well-rounded-out program assured all present of a thoroughly pleasant way to spend an evening. Facts About The Party: Some came with dates; some just came; but the important fact is that they arrived . . . a number of alumni were present along with a sizeable part of the student body ... The movie went along smoothly enough, it only stopped twice, in tqe most exciting parts of course, "Just like the movies" as some wit there correctly put it. Still the movies don't have Barnum's war whoops as accompaniment to their sound trac,t ... By the way, we were wondering who made the smacking sound during one kissing scene of the picture. (Don't all shout at once) . . . Prize event of the evening turned out to be not the movie but the fancy jitterbugging of E. E. Cobleigh and Betty Rose Mosler, who was visiting us from Sunbury. Betty Rose, a student here last semester, is now attending Bucknell University at Lewisburg . . . Bee O'Donnell was well taken care of during the evening by a handsome member of the armed forces, as was Jean Donohue, who spent some time chatting with two sailors . .. Stapleton and Barnum were together as usual . . . Things we liked: "Dougy" and her hilarious jokes, Claire Fischer's winning at parchesi, the handclutching of Betty Marlino and "Dougy" at the movie ... Best fun of all occurred in the boys' lounge where some of the girls were learning the intricacies of pool. Evelyn Feinstein and Gloria Boguszewski played one game together, with Gloria coming out on top as the victor. Gloria, who has had some experience in playing the game, claimed that the cues were too big and the table not straight. Poor girl! Oh, but the real enjoyment star_ted when Miss Bialogowicz tried her aim. Dot's opponent was Al Dervinis who was picked because this was the only time he had a real chance to win. Ten minutes were spent in teaching Miss Bialogowicz how to hold the cue properly. Then the game began. ~fter about 30 tries she finally hit a ball; severa1l more attempts brought her a ball in one of the pockets. It began to look as if ~iss Bialogowicz was really gomg to go places. Bue she finally quit the contest because they ( her coaches) were "so mean" to her. Trnly, in that light we can't blame her. Her coa~hes by th~ way, were Mlles Bogus: zewsb (Ha! For once we didn't look up the spelling!) and Feinstein, and Messrs. Kashmir, Kryger, and Lehet. Exhibit At WE POINT Art Bucknell Junior WITH PRIDE Beverly Doraine Graham, popular red-haired, blue-eyed sophomore from Ashley is the subject for March's WE POINT Beverly, or Bev as she is better known about the campus, is a graduate of Ashley High School, class of 1942. At high school she had an active interest in dramatics, taking part in several short plays. As a Freshman at Bucknell University Junior College Bev• erly carried on her dramatic interest. She worked for the Thespians on both major productions of the year, and played the part of "Lulu" in "Are You A Mason?", a comedy in three acts. During her Sophomore year Bev has continued work for the dramatic society on properties and tickets. In addition to being a Thespian, she is president of Beta Gamma Chi, the girls' sorority which meets weekly. Bev is majoring in commercial subjects, her ultimate . aim being a H. S. degree in Commerce and Finance. She plans to complete her last years of college at Bucknell University at Lewisburg and then to begin a career as a school teacher. From her preferences in sports, one would say she is an outdoor girl despite her fragile appearance. Bev likes football, swimming-not the Y. W. C. A. brand-and tennis. She dislikes meeting new people. She also has a passion for leather in all forms - purses, luggage or what have you, and examines every article for its quality. Although she has red hair, she does not have a temper to match, but a very quiet composed disposition. Incidentally we might add quite irrelevantly that she makes a very pretty pinup picture for an ex-Bucknellian in the service. - -- -v - - - A REMINDER-BUY BONDS AND STAMPS.

Bucknell University Junior College women presented an art exhibit sponsored by the Parsons School of Design at a tea on Friday afternoon, March 10, in Chase Hall. The exhibit consisted of original drawings of war bonds and commercial posters, book illustrations, designs for costumes, interior decorating, and fashions as well as layouts for advertisements. Miss Sangiuliano was in charge of the afternoon's program. The Parsons School of Design in New York City was founded by Frank Alvah Parsons of Columbia University who desired to establish courses to carry out the aim that art is and should be found in the ordinary, common-place things as well as in the luxuries of life. Miss Phyllis Smith, a sophomore, gave a brief talk on the art exhibit and the place of designing in the world today. Guests at the tea were senior girls from surrounding high schools. Ruth Evans and Janet Post were in charge of the afternoon's program, aided by Florence Mackiewicz, June Search, Helen Davidson, and Edith Miller. The committee in charge of hanging the pictures was composed of Marian Ganard, Rita Wertheimer, Helen Davidson, Jean Donahue, Florence Jones, Pauline Lastowski, B e v e r l y Beech, Helen Morris, Johanna Y endrick, Lois Buckingham, and Evelyn Feinstein. The exhibit remained up until Wednesday of the following week for visitors who were interested in reviewing the pictures.

UNROLLING THE REEL -CRACKING THE QUIP ,------------- ·By PHYLLIS SMITH For a long time this reviewer has been wondering if Hollywood thought that the mental age of everyone in the United States was twelve or less. However, lately we've been forced to change ou·r opinion. Despite the tripe and trash that is still coming in large quantities out of the golden West, we find that Hollywood seems to have had the sudden realization that every American is not a moron and so is producing a more adult type of film. With this hope in view we can manage to reconcile ourselves to some of the blunders that the film capital willingly or unwillingly commits. For instance, we have read the biography of Madame Curie, written by her daughter, Ev~, no less than four HELP THE BOYS AND GIRLS times, and we can prove that the IN SERVICE - BUY ANOTHER Curies were desperately poor, acBOND. cording to their daughter, and ----v---she ought to know.

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

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

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

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

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

The author, Totheroh, has been very able in bringing the people of his drama to life and making the audience feel and be moved by their dreams and the pathos in their daily life. "Moor Born" was expertly directed by Miss Norma Sangiuliano, under :whose direction the cast, composed of both freshmen and sophomores, gave an excellent performance. Mary Kenney played the part of Charlotte, the eldest sister, who assumes the care of the family. Florence ~ackiewicz was Emily, the moody, silent sister, while Carol Ruth portrayed the gentle Anne. William Hannigan had the difficult role of Branwell, while John Dzwileski was his faththe Rev. Patrick Bronte. Helen Bitler was Martha, the maid of the Bron~es, and Sophie Glowacki enacted the part of Tabby, the. feeble old family servant. Robert Lehet portrayed the part of Christopher, a neighboring farmhand. Playing to a capacity audience both evenings, the Thespian production can rightly be called a success. The cast portrayed difficu[t roles exceedingly well, and much credit can be given to them and their director who worked tirelessly. Loretta Farris was stage manager, assisted by Elaine Williams, Dorothy Bialogowicz, Florence Jones, David Hart and members of the cast. Marie Christian, assisted by Evelyn Feinstein and Ruth Douglas, was in charge of cos( Continued on Page 3) B. U. J.C. Girls Works Of Shakespeare Hold Tea Bucknell University Junior College women held ' an informal tea in Chase Hall on Friday afternoon, January 21. At the tea, data which the girls had collected concerning the graduates of the college was organized, and was given to Miss Sanguiliano. The girls especially tried to obtain the correct addresses of all those former students now in service. The inf ormatio-n is to be used in the forming of an alumni association. Many interesting telephone experiences were related by the girls. One had the pleasure of ta4king to a former student who had just arrived home after an absence of eight years. In charge of the tea were Miss Mary Jane Varker and Miss Marie Christian, assisted by Jean Franklin, Betty Marlino, Evelyn Feinstein, and Eva Yaremko. A set of Shakespeare documents· and records in two volume-s were recently purchased by the college library. The books are large and handsomely bound in tan cloth. They were written by B. Roland Lewis, professor of English at the University of Utah. The Shakespeare documents were published in 194(1 by Stanford University. The books 'have fine illustrations and should prove a valuable addition both to the library and the Shakespeare course to be offered next semester. --------- About this time one begins to worry about semester ex11ms, theme papers, and sociology lab exercises. Perhaps it would be wise to remember George Washingto·n and the cherry tree. Or don't the Bucknell students have any temptations to peek during exams? On Saturday evening, January 15, BuckneH Junior College's annual affair, "Bucknell Nite," was held at the Y. M. C. A. This year "Bticlmell Nite" consisted of a basketball game between the Navy • V-12 of Bucknell ·university at Lewisburg and the boys of Bucknell Junior College, a swimming meet by the girls of the college, and a dance, which was held in Chase Haili. Journeying from the "big campus," former Bucknell Junior Colleg_e students now in the V-12 program opposed our basketball team in a spirited, hard-fought game. Playing with only five men, Semmers, Wartella, Spiecher Jones and Capari, the Navy, n'everthe~ less, were highly favored to trounce our Junior College quintet. The early part of the contest found the zone defense of our satin-clad boys hard to penetrate. The "Little Campus" sooTh, took the le-a d when Kotch and Kashmir fast•moving forwards, located th~ basket a number of times. The closing minutes of the second quarter showed the Navy, sparked by Wartella, Speicher, and Semmers, slowly evening the score. Paced by Nachlis, Bucknell Junior mai ntained the lead until the final quarter, when the sharpshooting "V-twelvers" forged ahead. The ga11;e ended: Navy 39, Bucknell Junior 34. It :was our pleasure to entertain the Navy from Lewisburg, and we are eagerly anticipating another game • and another enjoyable t ime. The score: Bucknell G. F. Pts.

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

These little people were destined to become famous as the, Gremlins. This is the story of Casper, one of the Gremlins. Casper first began to make a name for himself among the English fliers who traveled the N orth Sea. But after awhile Casper g-ot tired of having his hands cold from hanging on the tail of . d of getthe p Iane, an d a Iso t ire trng greasy when he tinkered with h • t e 011 lines. So Casper decided to migrate to America, the land of hot dogs and Hedy Lamarr. Casper arrived in this country in an Army bomber. He landed at an airport somewhere along the coast, and deciding to see more of the country, he hopped into another plane an.d landed, of all places, at Smith's Flying School at the Wyoming Valley Airport. There Casper heard about the Draft Board. "Now what·on earth is a draft board?" he sald to himself, never having heard of that old American institution. So he f n d · h o owe ng t a 1ong a nd la nd ed in the Draft Board office. There he managed to mess up a lot of papers in a friendly way, so that a soldier in a foxhole in the South Pacific received this one morning: "If you don't report to your board in three days, you will be classifled for having tried to dodge the Gasp·e r disappeared and everything was all right again. His next appearance rwes the cafeteria. There he made three pieces of pie disappear right from under Mrs. Brennen's nose. Then .he hopped over to the sink and waved his hands.

Then he flitted into Mr. F•a int's offic-e and mixed up all the schedules ,and marks for the -whole semester. Oaisper danced across the lawn and into a cadet class of Dr. Nichols,o n's, where he said some magic w:ords so that Dr. Nicholson began to talk in Greek, and the cadets fell asleep with their eyes open. He heard two girls talking about Conyngham Hall, so he foHowed them up River Street, w'here he wandered into the chemistry lab. He made some experiments go up in smoke, and ,then flitrted into an alge'bra claiss, where -h e twisted the figures on the board around. Then up to the third floor to the biology lab. Casper made ,t he skeleton walk out of the closet and chase Dr. Reif around with a broom. Teachers and students gathered together in consternation at the havoc wrought and decided that something must be done; Casper could not be allowed to go on sabotaging as he was. So Messrs. Robert Barnum and Gifford CappeUini wer-e summoned from their paint ing to hold a Student Council meeting. "Soonet'hing mua't be done!" e~claimed Barnum, pounding the table.

By means of small tags, the students were divided into two groups, one of which spent part of the evening farmer dancing in the theatre, the other part of which spent the ·time playing game,s in the recept1on room. After the dancing and ga.mes, r efreshments were served in the reception room. A big fire was built in the fireplace, and Mrs. Farley entertained the guests with a humorous letter written about them which brought much 1aughter and applause. Helen Bitler sang several beautiful, but little known, Christmas carols, and th,e whole group participated in singing the well-known carols whic'h mark every Christmas celebrat,on, closing with "Si"lent Night," the favorite of all. It was an occasion for celebration by everyone, and will be remembered by those who attended it for the deep enjoyment it afforded. On December 17, 1943, the Beta Gamma Chi sorority held a Christmas buffet supper in the reception room of Chase Hall for the Fr-eshman and Sophomore members.

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

That question requir-e s thought before you can answer it." Phyllis Smith, freshman: "I think it would be a good thing if there were aptitude tests given. However, there might be danger in that the government might also contr-ol w:hat is taught and then we would have mechanized education, with the students learning only wlhat the government wanted them to know. There could be danger of having a dictato:aship in that respect." Bill Hannigan, sophomore: "I don't think there should be subsidized education. If that were started, college standards would lower and the tec'hnical advantages would tend to diffuse. Some students would not study at all, and college would be just four years of play. A coilege education isn't for everyone." Jean Donahue, so:phomore: "It isn't ba.sically ·p ractical. However, the government should help by granting to fathers educating children in college an allowance from their income tax. Higher education benefits the government in the end, anyway, by producing better citizens. I think that having the goverMnent pay entirely for college expenses is an Utopian idea, not ,p ractical. Maybe something like the English system of college education could be started here, though. If they can do it, we can, to-o ." M-arian Ganard, freshman: "Yes, I think everybody should be educated.

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

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

H owever, she reappeared in time to board t'he bus with John and me. As t he bus passed tnrough Luzerne, our threesome, picked up Jean Williams, which wo uld have been handy for bridge had John not f,o rgotten the cards, and Ruth admitted that she did not remember what was trump, so our foursome settled d-own to playing guessing games (we tried to guess w'here every·o ne else in the class might be, but all had the same answer; so gave that up) until .w e transfei,ed at Dallas to the Harvey's Lake bus, which, strangely enough, took us to Harvey's Lake. Now in my pack were supplies for twenty-five people,. I had fo ur quarts of fresh milk, four cans -o f evaporated milk, cocoa, sugar, three extra coats, and some gumdrops left over from a trip I took in 1916. The pack weighed over thirty pounds and John (my man John) saw no point in his carrying it all the way.

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

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

She W1as elected to Phi Beta K:appa, and -gra.Quated frorm Ohio Wes1,eyan with hig'h honors. She is a member of the American Nurses' Association, the National League of Nursing Education, and the American Red Cross. Nursing, Mrs. Lowery believes, is war work with a future. The· first women · to go overseas with the armed forces were the Army and Navy nurses. Even be.fore she graduates, the student nurse is now recognized as being in. a service as essential as that undertaken by the WACS, the WA YES, and SPARS and the Marines. Student nurses release graduate nurses for service overseas, or tn military or naval hospitals · at home·. As a post-war profession, nursing offers opportunities which have been greatly expanded by the war. Nurses will be called upon to take p,a rt in post-war reconstruction programs abroad and at home. There is no-w, and there is every evidence that there will contin ue to be after the war, a great need for nurses-not only in hospitals and othe.r institutions, but al so in public heailth nursiing, as teachers in schools of :nursing, in government work with the U.

Arthur Williams, sophomore: "I t'hink there should be competitive scholarships, and not free education. In that ' way, if enough scholarships were given, everyone could be educated who deserved an education." Helen Bitler, sophomore: "I think it would be a good idea provided an aptitude test was given to the students and only the capable were given the o·p portunity of going on. If this w,ere done, college training would have to be general, and specialization in specific lines would come later." Eva Yaremko, freshman: "I think the government s'hould subsidize college education, but on a strict oompertitive basis.

No. 11 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Friday, December 17, 1943 Tenth Anniversary Observed . College Assisted By Generous Friends . HOTEL STERLING SCENE OP LUNCHEON Plans Made For Expansion Of B. U. J.C. The history of Bucknell University Junior College is an interesting story of w·nat perseverance and determination can accomplish if given an opportunity. Almost everyone kno\\-s the story of its foundation, and of the meagre start with which it was first attempted. They know, too, of the pessimistic attitude with which its esablishment was first viewed. But from that temporary location in a Northampton Street building it has come a long way. These first classes in that build_ ing proved that ambition and abililty would take advantage of ·the great opportunity which the Junior College held out. Even though their work was accomplished in a few rooms on the top floor of a rented building, they were looking forward to the day when th.e college would ad vance and spreiad. The advance was rapid. The foL lowing year . the entire building was .rented, and equipment was purc'hased by Bucknell University for the use of Junior College students.

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

Farley, Dr. Robert Nicholson ~~) LOOKING TO 'THE FUTURE At the close of the first decade of the life of our Junior College, we can compare ourselves to the Greek god, Janus, since we look not only backward, but also to the future. Bucknell University Junior College has a history of which it might well be proud. Guided by wise and competent leaders, the college has come successfully through its first ten years, which were made doubly difficult by the outbreak of the second World War. Not only the college, but all of Wyoming Valley owes a great deal to these men who had enough foresight to realize the need for an institution of higher learning in this valley. But while we are proud of the past, we must also look ahead to the future. We must begin now to plan further progress and expansion. Even if these plans can not be developed at the prese·nt moment, it is wise to have a postwar program in mind. We believe that the small young college will have an even better chance for advancement and achievement after this war, since it will not be hampered by old traditions~ long outmoded, but can expand and grow to meet the needs of the time. So while we are extremely pleased over our successful efforts from 1933 to 1943, we should resolve that these efforts will not stop, but continue until the day comes when this is a fully equipped four-year college. This aim, we realize, will require time and money, but if the college continues to have the wise guidance and management and the support of our generous friends of the past, there is no reason why this is not entirely possible. Thus, we see the task before us, and with confident spirit we are looking to the future. BUCKNELL AT WAR The past two years have wrought many changes in the institutions in Wyoming Valley. Bucknell University Junior College has been only one of those so affected. However, these changes have not been to the disad vantage of our schools, as has been the result in other instances of small colleges. It is true that we have labored under the strain of adjustment; our student body has been diminished to approximately one-half its regular size. There is an accelerated program in effect which has required time and labor to make effective. Finally there is the presence of army students, members of the air crew. · All these, ho•wever, have caused Bµcknell Junior College to advance and to increase, rather than decrease, in importance in the role it plays in our community lfe. True, we who have been here and seen this transition realize that there are handicaps which we must now bear that have not been here in the past. We also realize that we are part of a nation at war, and that intelligent people living in such a nation can easily understand these handicaps and accomplish their part despite hindrances. Therefore, it is with pride that we review the progress of recent years. We have proven our point to those who were doubtful, we can and will advance. The spirit of our Junior College is one that cannot be broken. KEEP AMERICA SAFE BUY WAR BONDS DR . EUGENE S. FARLEY With the passing of a decade at B. U. ,T. C. our faculty has shifted so that Mr. George Faint is the only member left of the original faculty. At present, however, all corners 'lf America are represented in the faculty · From De Pau-1, Indiana, comes Dr. George May, who received his A. B. ans Ph. D. in chemistry at Cornell University. Our native son of Montgomery is Mr. Boris Hall, wh-0 matriculated at Muncy Normal, Bucknell Academy, Bucknell University a.nd Columbia. Another native son is Mr. Thomas Richards ,who ably fills the vacancy left by Dr. Bernhardt. He received his B. S. at Pe•n n State College and his M. S. at Buclcrtell University. Minnesota sent us Dr. Charles Reif, for which we are grateful. He received all his degrees from the University of Minnesota and enrolled in extensive work at the University of Maine. Dr. Craig, w'ho ha,s written a publication of Scottis h periodicals, is head of the English department and teaches composition and world literature. Music Culture and German are taught by Dr. Paul Gies, who stud_ ied at Heidelburg Conservatory. Dr. Joseph Miller is t'he instructor in philosophy and psychology at the Junior College. One of our newer ·p rofessors is Dr. Strow, f\'liho was educated in the schools of Indiana and received his Pb. D. at the University of Chicago. ' Another newcomer and graduate of the University of Chicago is Dr. Robert Nicholson, present advisor to the Beacon staff. The commerce an-d finance department · was augmented by Miss Mabel Leidy, who graduated from Keystone Norma1 School and Temple University. Besides w~rkin-g as registrar, Mr. George Faint is also a faculty member. Mr. Faint received his A. B. and B. M. from Bucknell and his B. D. from Crozi.e r Theological Seminary.

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

Formeny the group had been known as t'he Bucknell Playcraft, which refers only to the bui!dmg of scenery, but now they wished to change the name to include all forms of activity in the theatre . All sophomores who were interested and who had w.orked the previous year were invited to join the group. A contest was held in the Beacon for a new name and Edward Zurek, a student at the college t'hat ye,a r, chose the name Thespians, which goes back to one of the early figures in the . Greek drama. The charter members of the group drew up a merit system for freshmen who wished to join the society and meetings were held regularly.

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

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