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

NEW RECORDS t t t i �Page Four TWENTY SECOND COLUMN So. , So we are always beginning our column with "so," so it should add dignity. Dignity is important, and we are a lways a dignified proposition, especially since the editor told Hammer that he is a n urbane mi,santhro,pist. Which, fr.om the IJooks of it, must be terrific. The world is so full of a number of things: of shoes and ships and sealing wax; of corned beef and cabbag·e and d,i ctators. But doilies is most important. One must have doilies. Not to eat, of course. One eats malteds and cokes. (Oh, you know what I mean!) Not to smoke, Parodis. Not to moon over, dolls. Not to put dishes on, tab.Jes•. Not to sit on, laps. Doilies is written upon. For us, doilies is all-important. We can't make a mov e till we see our doilies. Procurement of doili es is likel y to lead to interesting situati.ons, and interesting situations indeed, especially when some citizens won't come across, when we are walking over to a table at H;oolan's a nd saying we are wanting doilies.

In the many utterances made by not only the leaders of Ameri~a, but also of th e, world, the quest.~on of educ•a tion has appeared tim e and ag,ain.

It was witn dee,pe•s t intere·s t that I read the accounts of in,c idents in the now exciting lives of former college students. Time and world even.ts have place<l us •Over the entire 1WOrld. Many o.f the fellows I have attended college wtth are now in the armed forces and I a lways delight in hearing news of them. Since I was on leave in January and visite<l Bucknell, I have traveled many miles in the States. Leaving· Wilkes-Barre after a very pleasa nt visit, and rene,wing former friendsh~ps, I returned to New York state, and from there traveled to my prese·nt addre·ss in Tennesse•e. Here I am attending Aviation Mechanic School. This school I attend is one of three schools maintained; the other two being Aviation Radio and Avi,ation O.rdnance Scho•o-ls. Men of the Navy and Marine Corps are here trained for duty on land and sea. The latest addition to the sc•hool has been the arrival of WAVES, to be trained here /for later re·placement of men, who will be released for active. duty. The past six weeks has found me confined to the Naval Hospital to be treated for ple.urisy. I am now enjoying excellent health and expect to soon return to school and duty. It is my si,nc,e rest wish to be remembered to all my acquaintances at Bucknell, and I will always appreciate r eceiving ne•w s of Bucknell and its students and teachers. Sincerely, TOM. No. 7.

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

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

Born in Wilkes-Ban-e, March 8, 1923, she attended and was graduated from Elmer L. Meyers High Sc1hool. Her talents ait high school were applied to journalistic a.nd dramatic activities.

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

If we can approximate these goals, we shall have gained a full share of success- It is up to us, to the thousands who graduate with us from colleges all over the country, up to YOUTH, to do our share in this process. We must not fail them. Next Year's Editors--N. L. Hoover, J.

Poetry Corner MODERN TRAVEL I love to roam the wild woods, And travei far from the oid home fires , But, alas, I am thwarted, Because there are no tires. But even were this problem overcome, I would still be stalled, alas, Because even though I have a car, There also is no gas. -Stewart Hettig. WHAT IS IT ALL? What is it all which seems so bold? This ceaseless toiling for fame or gold? Nothing our own but the years in the past. Hating, or loving, nothing can last. What is all which is not new? A cross for m e and a cross for you. Mine seems h eavy while others seem light. But, God in the end makes all things right. What is it all which everyone fears? This present struggle which the world h ears. He knows the burden that each can bear, And changes life's gray into a h eavenly fare. -Bernice Rapczynski. JOKE Teacher: Are there any conflicts in the exam schedule? Student: No, Teacher. (Later).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Once again, Elmo Clemerute and Effie Davis led the attack for the losers, garnering 21 and 10 points respectively, while R asely and McKeay were high scor ers for K eystone.

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

Dr. Farley then warned the students not to decide hastily ito enlist without due consideration of the factors underlying their choices. Advising thait there are many tasks to be performed at home as valuable to ,the nation's welfare, ~s fighting at the front, he named the three areas of defense open to the citizens; the combat service, •the industry for the production of materials vital to our defense, and the field of leadership for trained technical men.

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

STUDENT LEADERS Plymouth would appear to be th e home -o f many executives, for, b esides our honora ble governor, the pres ident of the fr eshman class also h a ils from Shaw nee. The capable young m an in question is G eorg e Rifendifer. After weeks of ineritia, yours truly finally b estirred himself and as the r esult of a little private investiga tion, em,erged wi1th ith e conviction that G eorge was a very versatile person in his high sc hool days. As a matter of fact, George's pas t r ecord fairly dazzles you wi!th ,the variety of interests it r ev,e als. F or thr,e e years, Ge,orge served as junior and s-enior lifeguard, and to supplement this evidence of his a thle tic tend encies we offer you his p c;>s.iition as head cheerleader. We are qui1te convinced tha:t the Plymouth football t eam must h ave fe lt rather uninspired this pas:t fall wiit'ho ut his cheerful exhortations to victory. B esides being managing editor of the Shawn ee Arr-ow, he was photographic editor of the Shawnee Arrow, and photography, incidentally, still rates as one of his f.avoriite hobbies. He most ably demonstrated his dramatic abiMy in his ro les in the school plays and the minstrel in addition to his stag-e membership. In his senior year, G eorge was one of those who participated in the oratorica l contest. By now you are probably wishlng, as are we, that he had slackened his pace and taken a short vacation from his duti es, for his achievem ents are brea1th-taking, in more ways than one. These are not the least of his accomplishments, however, for as president ,o f his class and a m ember of the s tudent co uncil, he has proven . h imse lf to be a distinct asset to the college.

Our Engineers Vital To Defense In these times (especially now, more tha n ever before), the imp ortance of the engin eer may be r eadily observed. His work in improving our living conditions is to be seen at ever y hand ; the modern lighting and h eating syst erns in ,o ur horn-es, telephone, radio, a u tomobile, ship a nd airplane, up-to-d ate high ways and airports, present methods of mass production - all of these and many more are direcit r esults of th e ingenuity of th e engineer w heth er h e be in th e civ il, m echanica l, elec trical, or chemical ·field. Since our nation is now at war, the role of the engineer is even more dearly ,o utline d . The engin eer s form one of 1the most interesting a nd exciting div is ions of our ar my. Courage is just as important for an e ngineer in th e U. S. Army ,a s for any enlisted man _w,ho serves in the front ranks. Mechanized warfare h as doubled and redo ubled the importance of the e ngineer. Whe n tanks come to a halt because of a river or swamp, th e engineers step into the p icture. Bridging is their number one job and our own American -b ridge surpasses any in 1the possession of other nations. With this new bridge, 25 men can span 300 ft. of river in 2 hours; under average conditions it would take 200 m en five or six hours to span th e same rive r. The engineers also must be proficient in making i,t difficult for the e nemy to advance. Towards this e nd, they practice laying anti-tank mines, constructing barrier s a nd blowing up bridges. They h ave the vital job of producing a ll maps for the a rmy in the fi eld; they mus t b ecome familiar with the operation of railroads, be ex perts in the art of camouflage, and besides all ,this, do all the building for the Army.

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

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

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

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

MRS. MILLER Dr. Eyster Exhibits Genetic SPEAKS AT TEA Specimens Freshman women were feted T h r e e extraordinary genetic specimens were exhibited in illustration of the talk given to Bucknell Junior College students on November 4, by Dr. Eyster, professor of gene.tics at Bucknell University. Professor Eyster fir5t outlined the principles of heredity and described the process of transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring in botn plants and animals. He showed a marigold piant of unusual height and strength which was grown with an eye to eliminating th2 odor. Dr. Eyster also exhibited two corn plants which, through inbreeding, have become pure specimens or, in scientific terminology, homozygous. The larger plant, since i:ts birth in 1919 has been hybridized or crossed with plants possessing desirable characteristics, with the purpose of improving it for the production of the maximum amount of food material. In addition to ,t he two ears of corn which appear on every example of this species, th<: plant has exceptionally broad leaves providing for the manufacture of food on a larger scale within the body itself. These two examples were used to bear out the genetic theory that it is possible, through constant inbreeding, to eliminate the undesirable characteristics in a plant to prepare it for hybridization with others possessing more desirable trairts.

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

After games and movies shown by Professor Hall, refreshments were served. This smoker was the first in a series of events which the Engineering Club plans to sponsor throughout the coming year. James Pearn was general chairman and the following committee was in charge of arrangements : Ti c k e t committee, chairman, James Graham, William Mattern, Nelson Jones and William Meyers ; refreshment committee, chairman, Francis Figlock, Robert Fritzges, Thomas Trethaway, J. D. Fisher and George Rifendifer. The movies included a sound production entitled "Manufacture of Abrasives." This film was supplied by the U. S. Bureau of Mines and the Carborundum Company. In addition Mr. Hall showed the color movies which he has taken of various student activities, such as the Freshman Inquisition, students going to assembly, surveying crews in action on the dike, and Chemistry and Physics Laboratory activities. The Engineers' Club announces the election of ' James Pearn as its president. He has shown himself to be a willing worker and is sure to make an ideal leader. Jack Strunk, a first year man, was elected vice president, and Albert Fladd, another Freshman, secretary-treasurer. Since the Engineers have chosen such capable leaders, they may look forward t o a very successful year. It h as been reported that previews of Prof. Hall's movies re vea~ an abundance of "reel" talent among the Sophomore engineers.

Here are those engineers you're looking for. This year the largest number of young men in B. U. J. C.'s history has enrolled in the engineering courses in answer to the call put forth by Government and Industry for technically trained men. That there is a definite trend toward the selection of courses giving technical training is shown by an interesting group of graphs recently prepared by Prof. V. B. Hall. These graphs were compiled from data obtained from student attendance lists and show a steady increase in percentage of students enrolled in Engineering, Bachelor of Science and Commerce and Finance courses. In 1935, engineering students made up 16 per cent of the total enrollment but in 1938, the percentage of total enrollment had risen to 19 per cent and this year the percentage has increased to 28 per cent. This steady increase in number of engineers enrolled is due to .th e fact that students graduating from high schools are showing a preference for courses giving training in technical fields . The rather sharp increase in the last two years is due in large part to the National Defense effort. It is to be noted that if the trend indicated by the last two years continues, it would not be surprising to find the engineers making up 35 per cent of the total enrollment next year.

It is a delightful story of feuds carried on from generation to generation in two rival Frencl" villages. The author satirizes the rivalries and absurdities by having the parties composed of children. The militaristic methods shown in miniature become ma terial for laughter and pity. Next week's presentation, the "Orphan Boy of Vienna," features the Vienna Choir Boys. It is a German dialogue with English titles. From the small attendance it is evident .that students have not taken advantage of a valuable opportunity to see noteworthy pictures even when they are presented at their own school. These films are culture assets and provide inter esting and enjoyable entertainment. A 11 s t u d en ts should make an effort to see at least one of these great pictures being shown e ach Monday at 4:30 and 8 o'clock. The student admission is only .twenty-five cents for either performance. Bucknell Junior College JayCees will officially open their basketball season on November 21 , at 7:30, against the WilkesBarre Y at the Wilkes-Barre Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Both teams are coached by Walter Thomas and the result should be a hard fought contest. The Jay-Cees were victorious last year by just a few points. This year the Wilkes-Barre Y team will be out for revenge. Last year the Wilkes-Barre Y team challenged our varsity team twice during the basketball season. The Y team lost both games. An added feature of this game is the conducting of a basketball clinic where the rules and regulations will be explained by F. P. Maguire, a member of the National Basketball Rules Committee. Mr. Maguire will be assisted by John "Zip" Bryan, a local official. Looking toward the future, B. U. J : C. will entertain Long Island and Cornell University Frosh. Both of these teams are among .the topnotch leaders in the East. Last year they defeated Cornell but lost to L. I. U. The last time they d efeated L . I. U . was two years ago.

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

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

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

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

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

The customs weren't, t::J say the least, flattering. Never theless, despite our wrath when you started to violate rules, we gave a sigh of relief. You have blossomed forth into a pret,ty nice bunch of students, and we look forward to big things fo r B. U. J. C. with you to carry on . BU.JC The concensus is in favor of an infirmary to house all the pneumonia victims of last week's picnic. Maybe Mr. Schmalz, who got the worst of it, will endow it for us. BUJC Maybe Dan Wilcox and Don Ayres did have a good r eason for swioing Duffy's firebell. It might make a good alarm clock for Sunday mornings. BUJC Miss Simpson informed us that she is a "most uninteresting person." We disagree, but form your own conclusions. Line forms on the right, boys! BUJC Joe Farrell's pretty gullibleWhere did 1that mermaid disappear to, Joe? BUJC If tha t little partnership of hecklers, Reichlin and Seitchek, doesn't dissolve soon, they can expect a boomerang, and we won't be r esponsible!

BUJC Altman wasn't far from wrong when h e unintentionally?? asked Louis' better half, Miss Lois Schappert, to step up to the mike with him at the picnic. BUJC We think the management ought to know about the business brains of Waters and Hoyniak, Inc. Maybe it was their little system o{ one hamburg for two that made the cafeteria start using checks. BUJC Jim Convery is now known as Mr. Birch Beer, or w eren' t yoc1 there Saturday night? BUJC Mystery of the month-What happened to the recording machine in the Boys' Lounge? Any information as to the prospects of a substitute will be duly appreciated. H ere's hoping, girlJ and boys! BUJC Well, Dr. Miller's back in the swing of •things again, or maybe somebody hadn't paid at th ~ beginning of last year, either. BUJC Mr. Schmalz must be psychic, or does June Owens just look as if de la biere is her secret passion? BUJC Maybe Darwin's Theory of Evolution is on the level, but Dr. Crook doesn't agree that w e're descended from the ape. If you saw somebody's imitation of his imitation of the "Individual Monk", you'd be more apt to swing toward Darwin. BUJC F ew Frosh will forget the fiasco of the expedition to Public Square. M aybe the man who handed Al Foster the quarter •thought he n eeded a square m eal. BUJC Lost - Anyone knowing th 2 whereabouts of that age-old institution, Student Council, please report to the new member, Yehudi. Reward-a Freshman Frolic! BUJC We pity the poor birds of Chase Hall premises- looks as if they'll ,.f arve without the combined forces of Altman, Davis, and Weiss to do the Bread-crumb Ballet. BUJC Those boys on the River Common aren't kneeling to pray ; they'r e dealing to play! BUJC The boys certainly see m enthusiastic about archery. Maybe they were just aching for a chance to pull the strings. In these times, they'd better practice on a rifle range. BUJC Some kind Freshman contributed the following. Anything w e said would be held against us, so we let him do it. BUJC No this isn' t a column of vox pop-This un e is Gedica:t:~d ~ our dear Sophomores. My what clever souls they are! - "Fre shman, scramble like an egg." Such wise orders they can dish out, but it takes a FRESHMAN to complete them. BUJC "Cut your corners" . Waters was one of the merry Sophs who never tired. Could it be that she gets sooo much sleep? BUJC Professor Morris Altman rendered some beautiful ideas for the initiations. We call him "professor", because he warrants the cup "Pr ofessor of American Illiteracy." BUJC Sure we're good sports. But among our ranks we have a .cer tain young lady who doesn' t meddle with anyone-not even with Price. Could her initials be M. F.? BUJC The ;three stooges, Albert, Williams, Gallagher, certainly fooled these fool Sophs. At least so they hope. (Gulp). BUJC Jim Convery got a big kick out of our difficulties-Would he look nice with a bucket, apron, a broom, and a few signs draped around his big, broad ears . . HA (the feath er, Jason, please).

This may sound absurd, but ex plana:tions will reveal that on the first morn of spring, one of our fellow Bucknellians, Joseph Farrell first saw light. From his early years Joe has proved to be an all around fellow and an idea1 student. This year greets Joe as the President of the Sophomore Class, and the class is both fortunate and proud in securing him as their leader and guide. While at Bucknell, Joe has attained ::i worthy name in his studies as well as in the extra-curricuhr activities. Besides his presidency of the class, he is Vice-President of the Lettermen's Club, businEss manager of the Bucknell Beacon, and a member of the swimming team. Meyers High School, Joe's alma mater, was equally as fortunat e as Bucknell. If you were to look back to his high school career, you would find that Joe was in great demand. He served as the vice-president of his class, and participated in many activities including the Honor Society, Meyhidran, Science, Swimming, and Glee Clubs. Joe is a versatile young man but upon probing info his interests, we find swimming is hi.s foremost hobby. Dancing also The Freshmen and Sophomores attended their first tea dance on Friday, October 10 at 4 o'clock. For the first time there was a boys' committee as well as a girls'. Cider and doughnuts were served and judging from the num ber and enthusiasm of those wh'J attended, the dance was a huge success. Although the ping pong table was r emoved and the pool table placed in the rear, the room was much too crowded. It · is hoped tha:t in the future a larger place in which to hold our t ea dances might be available. The girls have planned to hold a tea dance each month and we hop e that these dances will play a prominent part in this year's social activities. Mary Pohola and Joseph Farrell were chairmen of the committee which included Phylli'> · Eichler, Jeannette Jones, Mary Hutchko, Ruth L. Williams, James Pearn, Stanley Hozempa. and Edward Nattras. ranks high with Joe and with a personality like his, we can read ily see why he is popular. Joe is enrolled as a Pre-Law student and has high hopes of becoming a lawyer. He is giving a good d emonstration of what he can do, and so in your career as a lawyer, here's wishing you, Joe, the best of success. One of the most interesting personaltties in B. U. J. C. is this year's President of the Beta Gamma Chi Sorority. Imagine someone t:ill, dark, and rosy-cheeked with a host of fri ends, and there you will have the tent:1tive president, Mary Pohola. In the line of accomplishing things, and well at that, without any apparent effort, Mary is unique. Besides being an excellent student and president of the sorority, she has recently been elected Secretary-Treasurer of the Sophomore class. Extremely prominent in ex,tra-curricuhr activities, she has shown h er histrionic ability by her keen interest and work in dramatics, especially evidenced by her role in last year's m elo-drama, the "Farmer's Daughter". Her literary accomplishments have won her a notable position on the editorial staff of the -Beacon, and her musical tendencies were exercised in last year's Glee Club. A member of the Student Council, Mary is enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Course in Biology and intends to be a laboratory t echnician. Inquisition! (1940) We Were Good Sports!

As an interested citizen of the Community, and as a member of able community force. We should like to see the institution -expand _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the local Board of Trustees of the Junior College, I should like to testify to the satisfaction that is ours in having seen the institution grO':", u has expanded, not only physically from an unpretentious building on Northampton street to imposing and arresting buildings, fronting the river; but it has also spread its educational and cultural influence into all parts of the valley - and beyond! The Junior College has established, once and for all, and beyond the shadow of a doubt, the need of a College for this region . The many who want higher education and cannot go away to get it, can find in the Junior College that which furnishes an ample background for a College degrc.;i. No one, however, is content to let it remain at the level to w hich it has already attained. We should like to see the Colle ge grow in all directions, making sure, at the same time, that it does not lower its standards; indeed, rathe r that it constantly raise them. ,ve should like to s,ee enlarged, for the young people of our Valle y, the opportunities of high e r education, through in that direction. The College has given considerntion to .the advantages of courses which, within the limits of its now restricted period of instruction, would equip students for a particular job - and equip them adequately. We should lik e to be able to proceed also in that direction. We have, at the same time, r.-~ver lost the vision of a four year College. We would desire greatly to achive that goal, too! The Junior College, in all of these directions, wants to grow. Th e corr.munity has it within its po w.er to let it grow. To the ,i neasure of response in th e form of time, and interest, and money which th e community will provide - the College can expand and will expand ! We have, in the Junior College, one potential source of salvation for the youth of this Valley. We hope that there shall a lways be enough people of vision in our community who will h el p st,eadily toward the goal of enhancing and enriching the life of our p eopl e through the institution of the Bucknell University Junior Coll ege.

Harper attended LaSalle Junior Coll ege in Auburndole, near Boston and received her Bachelor or Art's D egree at Vlellesley College. After graduation she went ab r oad for several years, studying in France, Switzerland and Spain. She rec-eived diplomas at Sorborne, France, Rausone, Switzerland, and Madrid, Spain.

Th e pictures are in such beautiful hues that it would be difficult for Moth e r Nature to paint more colorful ones. A few of the best sce n es in the moving pictures are the rose-color ed sequences from the so successful comedy, " Marri ed for Mon ey." Though reduced to a pantomim e, it is still an e njoyable bit of miniature comedy. Othe r comedy scenes, rather involuntary this time, are the shots entitled, "Freshmen Strut Their Stuff." Some of the Freshmen who have all but forgotten those first days of anxiety, frolic, and fun (for the Sopho~ores, of course) will recognize themselves as bewildered looking you ng men and women, dressed quite ludicrously ; the men with dinks and different colored aprons and the young iadies minus all make-up, paint a picture quite characteristic of freshmen hazing. The Thespians also show g!impses from "Hedda Gabl er." Th ere are a number of interesting sequences from last year's May Day Festival. The other activities get their share of much deserved publicity. A scene of Charles Henderson and his Glee Club preserve for the future one of Bucknell's most popu\ar extra- ct1rric1-1la.r activities.

The prints are judged for interest, print quality, composition, perspective, a nd permanency of appeal. E ach characteristic is given from zero to t e n points. The points are then totaled up and the photogra pher whose print has the high est score w ins th e cont.est. In the last contest R a lph Norbert won the first prize, a package of printing paper. John Anthony's print took second place. T wo films were shown by Kusiak "Super Thrills in the News." a nd "War For France." A reception for the pare nts oi the Bucknell Junior College students was held on Thursday and Friday evening in the reception room of Chase H a ll . Because of th e large enrollm ent of students in this year's Freshm e n class, it was necessary to h ave the reception two nights and to e ntertain the guests in two groups. The students who live within Wilkes-Barre came at seven-thirty while t h e students who reside in the n eighboring v icinities cam e at eight-thirty. Th e students and parents had a n opportunity to meet and converse with the professors and their wives who formed the receiving lin e. Th e tea table was decorated in pastel colors, welcom in g the Spring season. The committee who assisted w ith the arrangements consisted of th e faculty, th e members of the Studen t Council, a nd Margaret Bachman, Shirley Higg ins, Margaret Johnson , Emma Kanyuck, Sallyanne Frank, Charlotte Waters, Seymour Mintzer, Ben Badman, Farrest Price, Steve Whitman and George Kulp . * * Kiwanis To See "Only The Birds" The fourth annual Scholarship com p eti tio n of Bucknell University Junior College will be h eld on Saturd ay, May tenth.

Once more Chase Theatre is in a whirl of excitement as the major production for the second semester goes into rehearsal. "What A Life" by Clifford Goldsmith, played in New York at the Biltmore Theatre to a delighted first-night audience in April, 1938 and ran for more than a year. Betty Field, who has made a name for herself in the last year or two, headed the cast as Barba1·a, Henry's high school girl-friend. Ezra Stone played the part of Henry Aldrich. Many people are familiar wli11-ooth tne character and the actor, for Mr. Stone brings Henry to life on the radio networks every Thursday evening at 8:30. "What A Life" gives a picture of what h app-ens in a principal's office in an average high school. The typical activities of the adolescent are humorously presented in this delightfully different drama. The large cast of twenty-two has not been fully selected but rehearsals have started with the hope that the play will be ready for prese n tation April 3rd-4th . The cast includes the following: Alfred Groh, as Henry Aldrich; Doris Jones, as.

B.U.J.C. Debaters Have Busy Season During the past fe w weeks the Bucknell Junior College Debating .Squad has e ngaged in a numb er of "battles of wit," in w hich , sad to relate, no decisions were made. Judging from the excellent work of Hervey Wruble and Milton Edelman in their Scranton University contest from which they em-erged the winners, it seems regrettable that other debates were not decision debates, for in a ll probability the squad would have uph eld the honor of Bucknell Junior College and would have been awarded more laurels. On March 7th, the squad journeyed to Penn State to attend the a nnua l Freshman Debater's Conference. Various other colleges sent student representatives to participate in the forsenic discussion concerning the United States' policy toward Great Britain and a union of the Western Hemisphere nations. These colleges were represented: Penn State, Bucknell Univexisity, Bucknell Junior College, Juniata College, University of WANT AD.

As a result, it is declared, the observer obtains a three-dimensional view. For example, it is said that if the airplane is going 180 miles an hour and the disk rotates 16 revolutions per second before the eyes of the observer, the airplane will have traveled eight feet during the interval between successive viewings of the object by the eyes.

The climax of the Bach Festival is reached in the magnificent "Passion ,o f Our Lord According to St. Matthew" which will be sung by a great choir and soloists on Sunday afternoon. Dr. Paul Gies, who is well known to the students of the Junior College, is responsible for the whole Festival. Charles Henderson will be a soloist on the Baroque organ, Mrs. Eugene Farley on the harpischord and Chris O'Malley as Pilot in "The Passion". The men and women of the college are acting as ushers. Tickets for the Fourth Annual 'Bach Festival can be purchased by students for one dollar. The regular price is one dollar and a half. * * Robinson, Hughes In Handball Finals Dean Robinson, hurler on last year's baseball team, who was the darkhorse of the intramural handball turney, has reached the finals along with Loren Hughes, who also was on underdog. Robinson eliminated Paul Labenda and Hughes toppled Cy Mintzer, a favorite according to · the experts. This is Robinson's first tourney. He took up the sport to develop his arm, which tired on him in the closing innings of last year's contestis. Robinson covers plenty of territory and he makes his rivals dash all over the court with his varied attack. Incidentally, Joe Curley, who has been out of school dut to illness for quite a few days in the past month, returned to the courts for the YMCA "B " handball tourney, but was eliminated early. Outstanding freshmen on this year's squad who are expected back next season are Derelevich, Elmo Clemente, Effie Davis, Joe Kelly and Danny Wilcox. Joe Monohan, the other member of the squad, finishes this season. Thomas feted the boys at a party at his home following the last game of the straight season. He treats the team every year but had ample reasons to do so this one since the boys brought the little mentor greater glory in the coaching profession. Several of this year's outstandIng scholastic performers may enter the Junior College next year. Officials expect about three good players to · augment the holdovers and keep the Bisons in a high ratmg in the cage sport. Most of the boys will have a short vacation from drills before starting baseball practice. �Page 4 BUCKNELL .

These are very formal statements but in their formality one may read and realize an evenini,, of enjoyment. In order to add t.o the Christmas spirit of joy and happiness, let us heartily recommend your taking advantage of this dance. The record attendance at the Thanksgiving Dance must be be > tered if w e are to raise our socia. events to the same high place they formerly held. There was a time when Bucknell's dances were known throughout Wyoming Valley as great successes. Due to the disinterest on the part of students of Bucknell Junior College, our social events have been gradually becoming less and less successful.

One of the outstanding results of this inquiry was the establishment of the " house system." Sinc.e that time the students of many colleges h ave become aware of the necessity of having a visible and determined goal toward which to work and have devoted time and thought to the same problem. Too m a n y of us hav e given this all-important question little or no thought . We have some hazy id eas about marks, a degree, and a job, but isn 't there something more to be derived from four years of college that is important to happiness and success of life?

On the sea the British navy in the Mediteranean continues to harass Italian supply lines, and to keep the Italian navy in hiding.

The indications are that Englishmen will have to do withou t 1:ome of the food they are now enjoying unless some more successfu l method can be found to combat Germany's submarines and surface raiders. As a further sign of Britain's n eed is the plan set forth by the pres1d ent advocating the rental or lease of our war equipment to Britain in place of outright loans of cash or the extension of credit. Under this program we would continue to build the planes and other equipment that England has ordered, but instead of selling it to h e r it would be given to her to use unti! the end of the war with the payment of a certain sum as rental.

Odorless Refrigerator New vaccines which are said to be more potent in building up resistance or immunity against various diseases, like typhoid and dipht h c ria , yet less toxic in their eff ects than prior vaccines have been developed by two members of t h e Unive rs ity of Cincinnati Medica l ColJege staff . In preparing thenew vaccines, the disease-causing bacteria are killed by a n ew m ethod which involves "acetylating." In this process the bacteria ~re ch emically reacted with ketene, a compound obtained when acetone is h eated. Not only a re the bacteria quickly killed by the acetylating action of t h e k eten e, but t h e re is imparted to the vaccin e a g r eater antibody producing capac ity with les1i toxicity. As a result, larger doses may be given to .immunize a patient without any h armful effects, while more antibodies are generated in the system. The acetylated vaccines may also be injected into horses and highly potent serums or immunized blood of the animal, it is said. An odor-free househ old refrigerator which absorbs the odors of foods k e pt n ear by, then d.ischarges fods k ept near by, then discharges the odors outside the box has bee n developed in the r esearc h laboratories of t h e General Motors Corporation. 'T'he refrigerator is built with a depression in the inne r walJ of its door.

When the door is closed the slab of c h arcoal absorbs any food odors present in the refrigerator. When the door is opened a t any time , the ele ctric switch is a utomaticalJy " thrown." The h eater goes on a nd the h eat expels the odors absorbed by the charcoal s lab. When the door is closed the h eat e r automaticalJy goes off.

Rabbi Wolk Addresses Student Body Each year R abbi Wolk , one of th e Junior College's mo st loya l friends , de livers a n inspiring m essage to the student body. At the second assembly program last Tuesday, Rabbi Wolk discussed a topic of v ital significance, at a tim e when th e face of the w orld is tattooed w ith battleships and dest royers of every description. '"In th e hour of crisis man often loses his h ead and ceases to be a rational being, and reverts t o the animal," RabbiWolk sa id. Rabbi Wolk particularly warned the students to beware of hysterical alarmists They are more t reacherous tha n the enemy itself, for they destroy a people's moral and sense of balance by boring from w ithin. "If we brought together a crosssection of our population w ho are defenders of our Democracy, there would be t.hosn w ho would accuse their neighbor oi b.cing a fifthcolumnist. Vlc do n cot k eep our thinking straight. We are governed by passion prejudice, and emotion . . . We shall b e defeating ourselves." "We st a nd in the way of another Dark Age, unl ess . . .

Reason is not enough _ we must m eet togeth!'l' for ch anges of opinion, evaluation; this is the purpose of college," Rabbi Wolk said, "and what we r.eed in this country is to be abl e to r eason together."

Since Japan joined the Rome-Berlin axis under the Pact of Berlin, relations between her and this country have been more strained than ever. It is conceded that the clause contained in the agreement binding the powers to take joint action against a nation not already in the pr,ese nt conflict, in case any nation made a war like move against any of the signatories was aimed largely at the United States. In reply to this, the United States has call ed up all naval re serves to active service and is speedily enlisting new recruits into the navy to bring its personnel strength up to 100% of capacity. The two ocean navy building program is being r ush ed to provide a fleet sufficient in strength to meet any anticipated emergency. Coming as a jar to the nerves of America was the request, last week, that all Americans who can do so should quit the far east at once. This applies, to Japan, Korea, Manchukuo, HongKong, Indo-China, Kwantung, Formosa, and China proper. The advice was given by American Consuls in these areas .

Let us banish this mistaken impression. This particular article is an expression of opinion . . . an opi~ion of some individual whose ideas and ideals may be vastly different from ours. Regard the editorials as such, acquire the habit of reading them and especially those printed in a reputable newspaper. You can acquire a broader outlook on life a wider scope of facts and information, and you will be mentally aroused when you find conflicting views. With the editorial as a guide, you will find no difficulty in keeping abreast of the times and will have a fairly general idea as to what other people in this world are thinking about current issues. PROCRASTINATION ... " Procrastination is the thief of time." It's a long word, but one, whose acquaintance people must not cultivate . . . especially the college students. Isn't it easy to decide to do your History assignment tomorrow even though it's due today? Joe simply must see that picture everyone's raving about, so just let the "chem" lesson slide one more day - just one more day. Putting off matters that should be attended to at once, is a very easy habit to acquire. You go on blissfully until Joe suddenly discovers ( to his utmost consternation) that a test is coming! By this time, "poor" Joe is so far behind that he thinks he's first. It' s rather unpleasant to find one's lessons piled up and more unpleasant to try to absorb a month's work in history in one night. There is only one solution ... do the work when assigned. "Do not pu_t off until tomorrow what you should do today." Balkans. H ere Rumania has come under complete German domination. This comes as an aftermath of the Brenner Pass meeting last week of Hitl er and Mussolini. From Rome, the newspaper of Premier Mussolini, the "Popolo d'ltalia," has "offered" to this country a ll the British possessions in the new world as well as New Zealand and Australia if we remain neutral. If not, the paper explains, and we continue our aid to Britain, we w ill "commit suicide." A b-elated anti-climax was the resignation of Neville Chamberlain, the tired old man who has worked so hard and so uselessly to preserve "peace in our time ." Even as this symbol of appeasement stepped down, however, another reared its head in Winston Churchill's statement to the Commons that England would be glad to adjust any difficulties with Spain arising out of the blockade and expressing the hope that Spain would see fit t o stay out of the war. At home we were able to relax from the cares of world conflict and a heated presidentia l campaign long enough to applaud the world series triumph of the Cincinnati Reds who brought victory to the National League for the first time in five years.

Friday, October 18th, 1940 Science Corner ... Three firms- DuPont, B. F . Goodrich and Standard Oil of New Jersey- have recently reported that in the event of an emergency they can turn out any amount of synthetic rubber the country needs as soon as necessary plants are built. It is claimed that a constat a nd unfailing rubber supply at stable prices is commercially practical. If synthetic rubber can b e manufactured in considerable quantity, American manufacturers will be able to control the market of the commodity and bring th,e ever-unstable prices under control. A new way of giving anesthetics h as been disco vere d hy Dr. Ruth M. Latham of Detroit. Two hours before the operation Dr. Latham injects a small amount of pitressin, ,extract from the poste rior part of the pituitary gland. A second dose is inj ected just fifte e n minutes before the operation. Thus, less anesthetic is needed to relax the abdominal organs, the surgeon can manipulate them more easily, and the patient awakes from the anesthetic within two or thr,ee minutes and a lmost never suffers from nausea and other unpleasant aftereffects from the a nesthetic. ___________ Chemists To Help In Nat·1onal Defense Professor Roger Adams, head of the d e partment of chemistry at the University of Illinois, has been appointed chairman of a group of leading 1nembers of the American Chemical Society to direct th e activities of the society in the sphere of national defense, it was a nnounced yesterday by Thon'l.as Midgley, vice president of the Ethyl Gasolin,e Corporation, and chairman of th e society's board of directors. The society w ill coop e rate with the National Defense Research Committee in correlating and supporting scientific research on instrume nts and devices of warfare, Mr. Midgley said. Other membe rs of the group are: President James Bryant Conant of Harvard University; Dr. E . R. Weidlein, dir-ector of the Mellon Institute for Industrial Research; Professor T. L . Davis of the Massachusetts Instiute of Technology; Dr. Robert E. Wilson, preside nt of th e Pan-American Petroleum Compa ny; Dr Charles L. Parsons, secretary and general manager of the American Chemical Society; Professor W. K . Lewis of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The National Defense Research Committee, it is explained, is applying, through numerous sources, the facilities of research to prob!ems o.f the Army and Navy, working chiefly through university laboratories, but a lso in many cases with the direct aid of industry. The committee, the details of whose work are confidential, is cooperating with the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council, according to Vannevar Bush, chairman Both of these or- . ganizations operate under authority of an Act of Congress. Dr. Gustavus J. Esselen of Boston has been appointed chairman of a committ-ee to make plans for the election of inspectors, "if, as, and when the Government to assist in this important field of the procurement of supplies." Other defense activities of the society include cooperation with the National Inventors Council in stimulating discovery and invention in the field of chemistry and chemical engin-eering. Dr. C. F. Kettering, v ice president and director of General Motors Corporation, is chairm a n of the Council. A complete census of all chemists and chemical engineers in the United States, recording in detail th e specialized services which they are prepar;,d to perform, is being taken by the society. The information w ill be made available to the Federal Government. Colleges Aid In National Defense Thespians To Give Hallowe'en Masquerade Representatives of colleges and universities at a r ecent meeting of the Advisory Committee on Education and National Defense for New York City, approved plans for aid to the government defense program.

The committ.ee announced that Appearing on the horizon like the spirit of Hallowe'en itself is the forthcoming Thespian Hallo- it was making proposals concerning college and university students whose training will be deferred until aft er July 1, 1941. 'l'he committee a lso agreed that those coUeges and schools that have not an adequate program in the field of physical education, health and hygiene be urged to develop on-e. Plans to stimulate appreciation of democratic ideals were approved. Recommending more courses for training for specific skills both for men and women, th.e committee agreed that there would be an increased opportunity for service to the community in the afternoon and evening divisions of colleges and universities. Continuation of the normal program of professional training and particularly of the engineering schools, it was believed, would provide the best long-range solution to the problems of industrial preparedness for n ational defense. we'en party to be held on November 1.

Results of of a scoop Work has already begun on a group of one-act plays to be given at assembly and before various groups throughout the city Miss Sanguiliano hopes to cast a sequal to "The Inn of Return," the play given in assembly last year. Those who saw it will recall this mystery drama with lively interest and will certainly look forward to another like it with great exp,ectations. The n ew Play l·s called "Cloak o! Evil" and was recently completed by Mr. Don Jones espec ially as a follow-up of "The Inn on Return." Its action takes place at the same inn and in the same room as in its predecessor a nd the same people take part in the action. The plot is a mystery which will keep its audience on edge throughout. In a re gular four year college the problem of casting this play would be a simple one for the same students who played last year could fill the parts again . With last year's cast gone, however, the question of casting becomes a serious one which may not be solved. If suitable players cannot be found the play may not be given. In addition to this one Miss SanguHiano plans to cast several other plays Of these one will be Wilkes-Barre • Scranton Sinfonietta Begins Fifth Season International Relations Club Holds Second Meeting .

It is only fitting, therefore, that the C. A. A . flying program should receive close attention The purpose of hte program is to train civilian pilots for both commercial and future military service.

Bucknell's football schedule has more of an all-Pennsylvan ia tinge this fall than it had for the past several campaigns. Of the Thundering Herd's eight opponents, six are teams from within the Keystone state. W estern Maryland and George W ashin gto n are the sole out-of-state foe s.

Most of the films will have English sub-titles and w ill deal with the Jiving conditions, etc., of those countries with which they are concerned. In the last few years, many colleges have added this course in cinema appreciation, In order that students, as an audience, may have better appraisal when they see a g ood movie, A committee composed of Dr. Miller, chairman; Miss Sanguiliano, Mrs. Harper, and Dr. Hall have been studying the subject. The course, if it goes through will be open both +.o the st,.ul.ents of the Junior College and outsiders. Faculty Member Chosen As Advisor Every years, along with th.air many other endeavors, the Thespians of Bucknell Junior College produce two major plays directed by Miss Sanguiliano. The first play for production is already under consideration. Th-3 play is ' a comedy in three acts, written in 1827 and first produced in that same year in the Drury Lane Theatre und er the· title of "Wealthy Widow," by John Pool. The play was rewritten by Cnarles Mathews and again produc,ed in the Drury Lane Theatre b 1856 under the new title of "Married For Money,'' This play is a story of a young man who married a widow for her money and deals w ith the complications that arise from such a situation. Th e widow tries to marry her young daughter to an elderly man, but the husband (a typical "henpecked" type) finally asserts his right and all becomes well and "they live happily ever after." "Married For Money" has been secured und er great difficulty. The play has been out of print for quite some tim e, and copies of it are, consequently, rather rare.

Miss Jones was presented with the prize in the College assembly on Tuesday. Dr. Eugene Farley made the presentation, "I thought I had unknowingly broken a strict Freshman rule when my name was called, as I didn't know anything about it," said Jeannette. "I was just scared to death." Jeannette has been honored upon previous occasions for her scholarship During her senior year in high school Jeannette won the R . J. W.

She also won the State Senatorial Scholarship and Bucknell Radio Quiz for scholarships to Bucknell. Although she is a very busy person, Jeannette finds time for music. She is enrolled in the B, S. course and hopes to someday teach chemistry. DR. FARLEY ADDRESSES STUDENT BODY The first assembly, held at the Presbyterian Parish House on Tuesday, September 7, 1940, was marked by an address delivered by Dr. Eugene F. Farley. Dr. Farley stressed the complexity of th.e times in which we live, and warned that we must think one way through or be destroyed. "Between thinking and not thinking," he said, "Lies the future of our nation. Great issues are before us," he continued we must decide between peace and war, continuation of our present way of Jif.e and the idealogy of the dictators." Democracy he interpreted as a way of life that must fill our daily needs and not be misunderstood. If it does not do this, it is in danger of being destroyed and supplanted by the dictatorship we have grown to hate. In conclusion Dr. Farley pointed out two roads that are open to all of us; the high road, which is hard but is certain to bring resuits, and the low road, which continues only a . short distance and leads nowhere. �Page 2 BUCKNE_LL BEACON Inquisition! Welcome all you members of the class of '44, may the famous sages of the sophomore class ( from whom you have already heard too much) give you some hints which may make the coming college year as pleasant as our first year was. Go out for activities galore. Anything and everything! College is more than a place in which to learn things; it is also a place in which to do things . The Beacon itself takes this opportunity to invite you to join its ranks. Become interested in the school's affairs. Moreover , take an active interest. Consider library rules and conditions, student government, and all the rest, and strive to make your convictions about each felt.

At a r,ecent meeting of Beta Gamma Chi Sorority, Margaret Bachman, Murial Rees, and Beatrice Hoyle were elected to serve as presiden, v ice-pr.esid ent and secret ary, respectively, for the 1940-41 school year. Plans for teas and various other social functions, arranged by this group, were discussed, Last Friday afternoon, the wom,en of the Sophomore Class entertained, at teas, the women of the freshmen class The specific aim of this sorority is to promote greater friendship among the young women of th,e Junior College. The Glee Club, under th e direction of Charles Henderson, has, very lustily, started its 1940-41 program, with the addition of numerous freshman to its ranks. The offic,es of president, secretary, and librarian have· been capably filled by Christopher O'Malley, Shirley Higgins, and Ruth Lynn. Th e group has, up to date, received invitations to participate in radio broadcasts and to appear on programs of many social organizations throughout Wyoming Valley. At a recent meeting of the Thespian Society, Alfred Groh, Beatrice Hoyle, Kathleen Wintermute, and Lillian Rosen were elected to serve, respectively as President, Vice President, Secretary and Club Historian. Plans for the first major production were discussed. Welcome ••• There comes a time when every tired editor, with a small staff, faced by the horrors of the deadline, relaxes his own and his papers ideals of editorial policy and allows objectionable and adolescent material to be printed. Too often this has been the case. On the . other hand however, a number of collegiate editors have been striving to regain old standards of excellence, to lay foundations for new traditions, and develop a policy which incorporates thought. wit, expression, criticism, intelligent satire and tolerance. Such a policy is not easy to develop or maintain. Admittance to the ra nks of these brave people is much desired by the editors of the Bucknell Beacon. There is a lack of interest on the part of the students which is hard · to understand and hard to cope with. Once dull-always dull is their attitude. They seem to have forgotten that student publications are not only important organs of student opinion, but the best organs of expression for such opinions. The lack of student cooperation and understanding has in the recent past been contributing greatly to the rapid decline of the Beacon. It is our hope that -the staff shall grow during the next year. It is our hope that your ideas and your copy will find their way to our empty drawers, and it is our hope that your feelings shall be voiced in our pages . The future of our publica-: tion and of all college publications lies in the cooperation of .the, student body.

Not only does the lamp provide a shadow-free light for the surgeon, but it throws a concentrated cone of ultraviolet rays which are deadly to bacteria over the maximum area of the surgical cavity. The incision is covered with a beam of such rays so that chances of air-borne bacteria getting inside during the operation are reduced to a minimum, it is claimed. At the same time rising currents of air can pass through the lamp so that New Telescope Studied the air in the room is sterilized. n amed butyl .rubber and mad,e from petroleum by what was described as a "simple process," has been developed aften ten years of closely guarded secret research by the Standard Oil Development Company.

Friday, Mag 31, 1940 SIXTH ANNUAL CONVOCATION THURSDAY EVENING DR. GORDON K. CHALMERS TO ADDRESS STUDENTS Kenyon College President, Lecturer and Writer, Among Youngest Educators in United States Dr. Gordon Keith Chalmers, who will speak to graduates of Bucknell University ·Junior College at convocation excersises Thursday evening, June 6, is one one of the few, if not the only educator who has been honored with the preside ncies of two famtwo famous American colleges so early in life. When only thirty years of age Dr. C halmers was named President of Rockford College. Now at the age ~f thirty-six-for three years he nas been at Kenyon College-he is now well and ably serving as Kenyon's President. He had served in the chair of the president of Rockford College for three years immediately prior to his in auguration at Kenyon. Before that time Dr. C halmers, \\-h : > is a Rhodes Scholar and , well known in the field of literature, had taught for five years in the English Department df Mount Holyoke Collge. The first four years he was an instructor and the last year he was appointed assistant professor. When inaugurated as President of Kenyon College in October of 1937 at cermeonies attended by representatives of more than 200 American and European colleges and universities, Dr. Chalmers, in his inaugural address, said, "The wise man is the one who asks the right kind of questions. I propose that Kenyon shall be the college where they may find their answers from original sources and not at second hand." An original thinker and a forceful writer, Dr. C halmers is the author of many papers on modern education. Dr. Chalmers, the sixteenth president of Kenyon College, was born at Waukesha, Wisconsin, February 7, 1904. He spent his boyhood in Philadelphia and attended school at Lansdowne and the Peddie School. He received his A. B. from Brown University in 1925. He then studied at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar and was awarded and A. B. from that university in 1928 and a M . A. in 1934. Dr. Chalmers holds a M. A. and a Ph.D. from Harvard University,' both awarded in 1933. Hobart College bestowed upon Dr. Chalmers the degree of Doctor of Laws at its 1938 commencement.

Dr. Gordon Keith Chalmers BUJC TO RECEIVE MUSICAL GIFT FROM CARNEGIE CORPORATION Buc knell University Junior College, received notification from the Carnegie Corporation of New York City, that it had been selected as one of the fifteen col- ' leges in the United States to receive a specially ma nufactured phonograph set with a collection of over 1,000 records of outstan~li_ng reproduction s of famous mus1c1ans. Dr. Eugene Farley, said this morning that the modern design ed machine is at present being assembled in New York a nd will be shipped to Wilkes-Barre in the Fall. More than 400 universities throughout the United States applied for the phonographes awarded by the Carnegie Corporation. Selection of the Junior College as one of the institutions to merit the award was undoubtedly influenced by the world wide publicity Wilkes-B a rre and Bucknell received from the Bach Festival, conducted here each year by Prof. Paul Gies, instructor of music at Bucknell . Other musical fetes, such as the Wilkes-BarreScranton Sinfonietta, have added to Wilkes-Barre's fame as a musical center. Diplomas will be presented by Armaud C. Marts, president of Bucknell University, and Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Invocation will be by Rev. Charles Stillwell Roush, D. D ., pastor of the First Baptist Church .

LLEWELLYN BROS. ~ INCORPORATED EDITORIALS THE MONROE DOCTRINE . .. In a recent edition of a Berlin paper Germany defined her doctrine in stating that Europe's affairs were to be regulated in a European manner and not according to any American interpretations. This came following the statement of President Roosevelt on the German invasion of Norway. The statement is perfectly sane and should meet with our approval-we have no business interfering in European affairs. We are away from Europe, we have no contact with internal political questions and if we are to maintain our neutrality this is as we must remain. Europe, throughout the years, has shown a high regard for our Monroe Doctrine and if we maintain a strict neutratity, she will continue ro show this regard . . It is useless to say that Europe respects America because she fears America-she respects America only because we mind our own business and once we cease doing this we shall feel the venom of disrespect. It is only natural from time to time that irritating incidents should arise due to the undiplomatic conduct of certain individuals or the force of radical citizens but these incidents have always been adjusted to our satisfaction. There are those who feel that we should have a more vital interest in the European conflict because of the great financial gain it would bring to us , but far greater is the financial loss brought by strict neutrality . This loss will be far less in terms of American dollars than the cost of going to war if we violare neutrality by seeking business. Wise heads a few years ago gained for us a blessing that we enjjoy today in refusing to ratify the Versailles Treaty and accepting a membership in the League of Natiqns. Our hands are clean and we are free of foreign contacts. Just as long as we remain this way, just so long will they keep from us. Once we violate our neutrality and show allegiance in terms of national action, we need only await a declaration of war. NEUTRAL RIGHTS. . . President Roosevelt in his remarks over the radio the other night said that he wcJs glcJd that here in Amcrirn we can still be shocked by such vicious assaults upon neutral nations as Hitler's invasion of the low countries. It might surprise many Americans to think that there was any reason for gracatifition at the feeling of shock. The President meant that in a world which is rapidly beginning to take such "brigandage among nations for granted, there arc still a few nations which have enough moral sensibility to feel outraged. The dictator nations justify their attitude on the ground that other nations "got theirs·· a long time ago and arc only interested in maintaining the status quo The argument brings us back to the fact that it is possible to jusitfy any act of vandalism or violence if we go back far enough in histroy to look for a similar act. During the past century the world had made great progress in learning to accord a new kind of respect to the right of neutrals until Hitler knocked it all into a cocked hat with his new doctrine. Prior to the middle of the last century little thought was given to the right, of of neutrals. When this nation was neutral in the Napoleonic wars both the French and the British ride over us rough shod if we got in their way. In those days the only kind of neutrality which counted was described by the phrase "armed neutrality ... For the Be parttter of a century the new conception of neutral rights which came in at the end of the Napoleonic wars prevailed through Europe and generally through the world and generally came to be accepted as sound and a contribution to civilization. Then Came Germany's invasion of Belgium in 1914, a ruthless overthrow of the doctrine of neutrality, to be followed 26 years later by Hitler·s even more violent demonstration. In Ibrief Hitler has plunged the world back a full century in its conception of neutral rights. The President of the United States is glad that some of the world, a t least , refuses to be plunged. Friday, May 31, 1940 ENGINEERING, CAMERA CLUBS PLEASE MANY AT DEMONSTRATIONS IN CONYNGHAM HALL CANDIDLY SPEAKING-PROF. SCHUYLER SURE KNOWS HIS BUSINESS Students, Friends Visit Countless Exhibits Durini Three-Day Show By Harvey Wruble By Robert Paxson Hanging in the Social Room of the Wilkes-Barre Y.M.C.A. is a group of photographs of extraordinary quality and human interest. These pictures have come from all over the United States, and many of them from such remote places as Hong Kong, China and Budapest, Hungary. The exhibition of these pictures is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. Camera Club, and judges for the exhibition are Mr. Alfred A. De Lardi, Philade phia, Pennsylvania; Mr. Niccolo Cortiglia, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; and Mr. Frederick Hurd, Narbeth, Pennsylvania. Notable among those pictures being shown is one called "The Wanderer," submitted by Professor William H. Schuyler. It is significant to note that seventyfive percent of all those photographs submitted were rejected and that, therefore, the pictures selected are, so to speak, the cream of the crop. Professor Schuyler is to be commended for his excellent work which makes his picture one of the selected few. The photograph is a beautiful study of a country road winding beneath towering trees and topped by a magnificent bank of fleecy clouds. On the road is a small solitary figure from which the photograph takes its name, "The Wanderer." It was taken on Professor Gies' farm in the Pocono Mountains. A verbal description of the picture can, however, hardly suffice; the picture must be seen to be appreciated. The past week-end in Conyngham Hall of Bucknell University Junior College, the Engineering and Camera Clubs of the college presented a series of exhibitions and demonstrations dealing with photography, chemistry, physics and engineering. Juniors and seniors in high school and parents and friends were in attenadance at the three-day exhibit. Off the Press. . . Work for the show was m charge of Dave Secunda and Joe Shina!, presidents of the Engineering and Camera Clubs respectively, and Professors Voris B. Hall and William H. Schuyler. Members of the two clubs conducted the numerousdemonstrations and offered explanations of the displays. Some of the items which were found in the chemistry laboratory included elctro-pla.t.ing. chemical rainbow, a complete display of cosmetics, indicators and a display of different kinds of glass. Demonstrations included the making of soap, mirrors, and artificial silk. Ace Hoffman Studios' dark room, showed the process of actual enlarging and contact printing. Exhibits pictured the improvement of photography and photo equipment. In the physics laboratory the operation of a 110 volt light with but 4 volts. Among other demonstrations and exhibitions were non-glare headlights, the forming of ice in boiling water, and visible speech. 1940-1941 BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY JUNIOR COLLEGE CATALOGUE JORDAN Est. 1871 Copies will be mailed Anywhere on Request MEN'S FURNISHINGS AND HATS OF QUALITY Inquire at Registrar's Office 9 West Market Street WILKES-BARRE, PA. �Friday, May 31, 1940 THE BUCKNELL BEACON Page Three THESPIANS OF BUJC SCORE AGAIN WITH PRESENTATION OF 'HEDDA GABLER' IBSEN'S DRAMA WINS PRAISE OF STUDENTS AND MANY PLAYGOERS CLASS PRESIDENT Misses Williams, Fenton Applauded for Excellent Characterizations By Marion Waters From the opinions of students and of the faculty, the play, "Hedda Gabler", presented by the Thespians, May 3, 4. 5, was an overwhelming success. Those who saw· the character of Hedda played by both Miss. Newbold Williams and by Miss Betty Fenton were amazed to see the contrasts and companions in the interpretations of this deceitful, conceited woman . The acting was excellent and very convincing. Each actor and actress seemed as though he actually lived his role in the play. The effective scenery and lighting did a great deal to create the atmosphere aroused by the action of the drama. Although many though that the drama itself was too deep to be enacted by college students. They thought the students did remarkably well. It seemed quite peculiar to many members of the faculty and stusent body to see -sueh-sophi-stiea-ted parts played by such young people To many, the action of the beginning of the drama was rather dull and tiresome, but as the play proceeded, the action increased to a horrible climax, aticipated by everyone. The play itself was well written and directed. It was typically Ibsen with its plot interwoven with domestic an d marital co nconflicts presented as usual without the author tampering with consequences of the force that he sets into operation. In the last analysis, the play certainly portrayed excellently the influence of a di storted personality on wrecking the lives of all those with whom she came in contact. In the latter part of this semester, the Thespia ns arranged a series of walking rehearsal plays, in which the lines are not memorized but read from a paper. The students and faculty hope that in the future the Thespians will continue to present plays that have a deeper significance rather than fanciful comed ies.
