The affair will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Sterling Hotel. Junior Maguire and his orchestra will supply the music for dancing which will continue from nine until one. In an endeavor to institute a closer spirit of cooperation between alumni and students both groups will unite their efforts in planning the dance. Hank Peters, as chairman of the alumni committee, has chosen the following to assist him: Edson Shannon, Edward Hartman, Duncan Thomas, Walter Thom~ as, Ambrose Saricks, Jr., Eleanor Scureman, Betty Tonks and Beverly Jones.

This is the first major production of the dramatics club this year. The play revolves around the dim-witted wife of a professor in a small college. After buying a novel from an unknown author and having it turn out to be a huge success, she throws the entire college into confusion. The comedy of the play results from the ensuing embarrassment.

A "Of Peace Parades and Communism" T HIS year Wilkes-Barre celebrated Armistice Day in two ways. In the morning American Legion posts drafted local high school bands into service and commemorated the end of the Great War by reminding observers of the military spirit which prevailed twenty-~rne years ago. In the afternoon a different group of our citizenry commemorated a different phase of the rejoicing that accompanies an armistice. This second parade reminded us that peace had arrived in 1918, that mankind was then looking forward to an era of progress free from war. Even before Armistice Day a number of legionnaires and others who misinterpret the significance of the peace parade condemned it as an insult to those who died in the Great War. This is, of course, an almost incredible distortion of the truth. Those who paraded honored the patriots who died, but denounced the institution which forced them to die, the "social malinvention" which. has ever killed off the most potent of men, has retarded progress, and confined men's activities to seeking to further narrow interests. Another charge, quite as fallacious, has been made more recently. Attorney Doran, speaking before the Kingston Business Men's Association, asserted that Mayor Loveland should not have granted a parade permit to a group of "communistic" organizations, and suggested that the mayor had done so because his wife is a member of one of these groups. Mr. Loveland, in answering the charges, cited evidence that the groups which sponsored the parade had no communistic affiliations or tendencies. Whereupon Mr. Doran retorted that he had secured from a member of the Women's International League for Peace, one of the sponsoring groups, a number of communistic, "scurrilous" pamphlets. Since we believe the Peace Parade was morally supported by Junior College students, and because a number of professors and students marched in it, The BEACON has attempted to investigate the affair. A list of the organizations which sponsored the parade appeared in the Wilkes-Barre Record of November 27. Anyone who examines that list will certainly agree with us that Mr. Loveland is perfectly correct in vindicating them of communistic tendencies. As for the Women's International League, Congressman Hamilton Fish investigated it recently and declared it perfectly free of communism. If Congressman Fish couldn't find any, we may rest as sured there is none. The League has its headquarters in Geneva, and hasn't even a branch in Russia. The "scurrilous" pamphlets provide the real humor in this matter. Through the courtesy of Miss Harriet Davey of the League we were allowed to examine these pamphlets, and found nothing more communistic than pictures of Mrs. Roosevelt and Admiral Byrd. 0 Intelligent ·people are rapidly becoming extremely annoyed by individuals who term every movement in the least liberal "communistic." One is reminded of the medieval thinkers who claimed that it is the name and not the fact which is real. That sort of charge merely attracts a great many more communist sympathizers; for, observers reason, if the people who marched for peace-people they admire-are communists, what's wrong with communism? Those who believe that we should destroy freedom in order to preserve one particle of it, merely serve to thoroughly discredit the movements they represent. We find it hard to understand how anyone can do other than actively support intelligent peace movements in these critical times. May there be another Peace Parade next Armistice Day, supported by everyone and free from stupid criticism. N _illustration of what should not have happened was well presented, we think, at the last coll,,ge danre the day before Thanksqivinq. We made a serious attempt at that form of bodily movement called the dance but, did we get anywhere? Bluntly, we did not. We were so squashed and so squeezed and so bumped and so stepped on that the affair went beyond the bounds of mere humor-it was pathetic. At least it wasn't pleasant with those surroundings. We believe in dances. They are a good idea, undoubtedly. But the prin~iple of "The more the merrier," it seems to us, does not fittingly app!y in this case. The Social Activities Committee should make up its mind whether it wants to run dances for profit or for the real enjoyment of the student body at the Junior College. We favor the latter view and we think the student body does also. Our plan is to have the committee estimate just how many couples the dance floor will comfortably hold and limit ticket sales to just that amount, working on the principle "first come, first served," "first" in the sense of after the student body itself. In other words 200 couples on. the lrer:n Temple Country Club dance floor goes beyond the bounds of reasonableness, comfort and a pleasant time. With 150 couples, however, we won't bite off a person's nose or ear if we talk, or kick somebody's shins or dig our elbows in another person's back when dancing. In the future we realize that all our dances won't be held at the same place, but our plan nevertheless still applies. Hereafter, let a limited number of guests attend the dances once the student body is served, the Activities Committee havina estimated iust what that number is , to provide enjoyment and pleasure for all concerned. Group Condemns Jap Aggression In China HE Sino-Japanese War, its causes, possible effects, and T remedies for restoring peace in the East were discussed at a meeting of the International Relations Club on December 2. Numerous points of view are represented in the club. However, the fact that Japan should be labeled as "aggressor" in the conflict was generally accepted by the entire group. Three plans of action whereby the United States might demonstrate its desire to terminate the war were offered and subjected to heated debate. The plans are (1) collective security, which rests upon international cooperation; (2) strict neutrality, whereby the U. S. would put embargoes on both Japan and China, and (3) non-government action or, more specifically, workers' and consumers' sanctions. A number of books and pamphlets designed to aid in the study of this and allied questions have been sent to the club by the Carnegie Institute. A m o n g these are included: Hudson, "By Pacific Means"; Penrose, "Population Theories and Their Application"; Staley, "Raw Materials in Peace and War." The books are at the disposal of all interested persons. ---•--Class Tour (Continued from page one) tic Relations Court, the students recently visited the court and observed the method of procedure.

Blac~-Co~nery Wage _and T HE Hour Bill, six months smce its passage in the Senate, will at last come up for consideration in the House next week, beginning December 13. In its present form, the bill empowers a Labor Standards Board, composed of five men appointed by the President, to fix minimum wages, less but not more than 40 cents an hour, and maximum hour more but not less than 40 hours a week. The board is given the power to use its own discretion in adjusting standards for different industries and different localities. We use the phrase, "In its present form," because it is expected that the House will add many amendments to the act before voting upon it. The purpose of the bill is to (1) increase national purchasing power, (2) decrease unemployment, ( 3) obtain for the unskilled worker a more decent standard of living. Opponents of the principle of minimum wage and maximum hour legislation claim that the bill will ( 1) not enhance purchasing power because an increase of wages must bring a rise of prices, (2) not cause a reduction of the number of unemployed but, rather, will tend to augment the number of jobless because wage and hour restrictions will force many marginal producers out of business, and consequently many workers will be forced out of employment, ( 3) cause the maximum wage to become the minimum wage because the employer, in order to neutralize the losses sustained by the raising of wages in the "lower brackets," will reduce the wages of the "better paid" workers to the minimum. Conservative economists oppose the bill beca11se such legislation, they say, violates certain rules of economic forces. Standpat politicians and business men advocate the defeat of the bill on the grounds that a laissez-faire policy is best. The South fears the bill inasmuch as it might give the North an advantage in competition. Many people believe that the A. F. of L. is opposed to this type of legislation. This is untrue. The A. F. of L. disapproves of the Black-Connery Bill which leaves much to the discretion of the Labor Standards Board. The C. I. 0. incidentally favors the bill. The opposition's arguments against minimum wage and maximum legislation, as seen by this column, is great in quantity but sadly deficient in quality. Will prices rise to offset a gain in wages? We think not because it is an economic truth that prices do not rise in proportion BEACON Page Three Drama Group Makes O'Donnell Discusses New York Trip Diphtheria Problems DR.NELL, FRANCIS T. chairman O'DONof the Diphtheria Prevention Campaign, addressed the members of the Pre-Medical Club on N ovember 18 • at the club's monthly meeting. "The deaths resulting from diphtheria are becoming fewer " Dr. O'Donnell pointed ou't, "through the use of modern preventitive and treatment methods. Clinics where treatment and injections are given free of charge are being conducted throughout Wyoming Valley. In the last two years there have been no deaths in this region resulting from diphtheria." Dr. O'Donnell charged that lack of cooperation on the part of parents in summoning doctors at an early stage of the dread disease has been the reason for the widespread fatality of diphtheria. The Pre-Medical Club endeavors to present a prominent doctor who has a specialized knowledge of a particular branch of medical practice at each meeting. Dr. A. Griffith, noted orthopedic specialist, was the guest speaker at Thursday's meeting. to wages. Also, prices will remain down, for the increased purchasing power of the nation will give the producer a greater volume of business. To the argument concerning marginal producers, we say this-If a producer cannot abide by the measly standards of the BlackConnery Act-he has no right in business. His workers can obtain employment with more efficient employers whose volume will increase when the "cutthroat" competitors drop out. A good indication that the maximum will not tend to become the minimum is the fact that this did not occur in foreign countries and states that have attempted the proposed legislation. With the conservatives, we have absolutely no patience. Horse and buggies are nice to look at, but as vehicles of progress they have outlived their usefulness. The Black-Connery Act can do much for the country as a whole (in answer to the South's argument). It may not work wonders but if it succeeds in ending forever the 5, 6, 10 dollar a week wage and the 50 and more hours of work basis, the bill will be more than justified. If we desire the removal of sweatshops, and of intolerable living conditions of the unskilled laborer-if we want a better G.

Under the chaperonage of Miss Sanguiliano and Mrs. Tasker the drama students spent an instructive as well as -enjoyable few days viewing and studying examples of various medii of dramatic expression. At a rehearsal of "The Cradle Will Rock" at the Mercury Theatre the group met Hiram Sherman, who, if present plans materialize, will be the guest performer in the college production of "Midsummer Night's Dream." Friday night some of the students saw "Brother Rat," a comedy with a military academy background while a few fortunate ones attended a performance of "Julius Caesar," a modernized version of Shakespeare's classic, which seems destined for a long run. Saturday saw the club members viewing two current Broadway laugh hits, "Room Service" and "The Women"-both of which are remarkable for their clever repartee and swift action. Not confining themselves strictly to the legitimate theatre, the students attended three motion pictures, "Nothing Sacred" which played at Radio City; "Mayerling," a French production which has been greeted with enthusiasm by New York's foremost critics, and "Inspector General," a Sovi,e t-made film of remarkable depth of feeling. The group also visited a radio broadcast, an advertising agency, a southward-bound steamer, and one of the large metropolitan churches. Students who made the trip were Dorothy Smail es, Jean Maran, Betty Tonks, Betty Fenton, Jane Mackenrow, Anne Reinecker, Ilaria Sterniuk, Dudley James, and Jack Saricks and Joseph Donnelly, two former Dramatic Club members. ---•--- Rev. Phillips 'Praises Heritage of Past Phillips of the REVEREND Methodist Church spoke at the student assembly of November 30 on the importance of a sane evaluation of the heritage of the past and the offerings of the present by the youth of today. "Do not," Mr. Phillips warned, "belittle the contributions of the past. Do not grab on to something simply because it's new." Reverned Phillips attacked the attitude which he claims is rife among college youth and which views much of humanity as downtrodden. The works of Sinclair Lewis, Hemingway and Dreiser, according to Mr. Phillips. show this lamentable trend of thought. �THE Page Four BUCKNELL BEACON The Evolution of Radio News Broadcasting PART II The radio news gathering services have established bureaus in the more important cities of the country with a trained staff of reporters and editors on hand to be dispatched to any point where a good news story might originate. In addition in the smaller cities, such as Wilkes-Barre, they have one or possibly two experienced newspaper and radio men who are constantly on the alert for a news story which might be of state or national interest, or a good human interest story for the entertainment of radio audiences. These men, unlike the bureau staffs who are salaried, are paid space-rate, or for each individual story which they dispatch to the organization. Should a story of interest develop in one of the smaller communities where no bureau is: located, the reporter will telegraph his story to the nearest bureau, or should the story warrant additional speed in transmission, telephone the bureau. At each of the bureaus a battery of teletype-writers are available for receiving and sending of news information. Definite times have been assigned to each bureau for placing on the teletype circuit, news which it has gathered. Should a flash of great national interest require, they may break in on the circuit at any time, temporarily killing the story which might be originated at another bureau. Each subscribing radio station has, in its studios, a receiving teletypewriter which is constantly hooked in on the circuit. The news agencies, incidentally, leased lines from Western Union, Postal Telegraph, Bell Telephone Companies and American Telephone and Telegraph Company for the purpose of transmitting the messages. The bulletins are printed on each individual machine a fraction of a second after the typist touches the sending teletypewriter key. In the newspaper press organizations, news schedules a:re designed for two deadlines. First, a deadline for a morning paper, and secondly, a deadline for an afternoon sheet. Radio, however, is different, in that deadlines on different stations might occur at far different times. Consequently, the radio news gathering services keep their circuit open for 20 hours a day, sending flashes of interest. They have arranged a definite schedule for morning, afternoon, early evening, late-night, and sports broadcasts and constantly endeavor to send lead stories for these designated times, as most subscribing stations have news casts at these particular times of the day. Throughout the day, the same story, if of considerable interest, might be repeated three or four times, with different leads and perhaps a few additional facts which might have been learned in the interim. This permits the broadcast of a differently worded story on the same subject on each of the important broadcasts of the day. Radio station programs are usually flexible enough to permit the brief announcement of a bulletin at almost any time, consequently the minute which important news develops, the Press Service will temporarily kill the story being transmitted and will flash the story on the wire, the attention of studio attaches being called to the teletypewriter by the repeated ringing of a bell on the machine. Each broadcasting station subscribing to the news service edits the news which comes over the wire, and uses those flashes of particular interest in their locality. About a year following the ban on news-casting by the older established news gathering services, there came the realization that they could not impede progress, and they lifted the ban. Now, some of the older organizations such as United Press and International News Service have established radio departments and are in active competition with the previously mentioned organizations in the radio newscasting field. Newspapers now generally concede that radio news-casting has had a favorable rather than an unfavorable effect on their circulation. Listeners buy newspapers in order that they might read what they have already heard and to learn further details. MAKE USE OF YOUR STUDENT ACTIVITIES PRIVILEGES TONIGHT "LADY OF LETTERS" COUGHLIN H.

BUCKNELL CCkinrp anJ StufI OMES the time of the year C when nature-lovers sit back and admire the snow-covered river banks, when in their zeal to get to classes on time certain people have been known to suffer many an indignified fall with, of course, the consequences, when students ask, "Why is an eight o'clock class?" But aside from all this we give a happy little skip when we realize that in exactly one week -ah, need one add more? In which we shake our head sadly and mutter "Tsk, tsk!" We hate to admit this but, what with one thing another, we think we will. One fine day we were pacing nervously around and about the confines of The BEACON office musing about life, stuff, and a test we were expecting the next period, when we espied a letter. Let it be here understood that said letter was open and literally begging for a reader. Who are we to ignore such a request? Wherewith we began to peruse same thereby gleaning from it the following information : ( 1) It was from the President of the campus debating society to Maurice; (2) Mr. Clemens, the President, clearly stated that it is understood up at the campus that there are a lot of nice girls down here at B. U. J. C. and the boys wouldn't be averse to meeting a few. So what happens? - two people come to the debate. 0 tempora; o mores! Addemdum: a capacity audience is expected at the next debate. We hate to be an old gossip but rumors have reached our ears that (surprise!) the Social Activities Committee plans to fete us with a "Big Apple" tea dance on Friday, December 17. Refreshments will be apples, candied and uncandied, and apple cider. Need it be added that Big-Appling will be considered very comme il fait (French 103)? Something- Should- Be- DoneAbout- It- Note : Next to spaghetti and chocolate cakes we like dances. There are a lot of people who feel that way-but not here at Bucknell. What our dances need is more B. U. J. C. people in attendance. Things that make life worth living--our cafeteria humorists. (You're entirely welcome, boys ) It all happened like this: We were going about our business as unobtrusively as possible when suddenly like a flash there came to us an idea. "No more gossip in The BEACON." So modest soul that we are, very much impressed with the sagacity of aforesaid idea, we loudly proclaimed to all and sundry and with much verve that The BEACON, being a conservative sheet, would henceforth desist from printing gossip articles. Since that memorable moment, people have been dashing up to us, beetling their brows (We have a number of adept brow-beetlers among us.) , shaking stern fingers at us and otherwise behaving in a manner which is best described as threatening. So we threw our hands up into the air in a sign of surrender, caught them as they floated gently eal'.'thward. and proceded to dash off something which might inject a bit of the personal element in the good old BEACON. The result-foregoing opus.

DAVID BROWN BROWN, second of DR.theDAVID new additions to the Bucknell University Junior College faculty to be interviewed, admitted to this reporter that the forthcoming would be his first interview. He was born in Scotland but came to the United States at an early age spending most of his life in Massachusetts. He attended Williams College, where he received a degree of Bachelor of Arts. He continued his education at Harvard where he received his M. A. Later he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Yale. Before coming to Bucknell to teach English and public speaking, Dr. Brown was English professor at Yale and later at Williams College. Dr. Brown was also very emphatic about the fact that he is the proud father of two young daughters. As hobbies, Dr. Brown plays the piano and scrapes furniture in order to refinish it. an exhibit celebrating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution.

T.he committee has asked Professor Gage to act as honorary chairman. The display will be set up in the Conyngham Hall library where students may view it.

War, the line of least resistance, the weapon of megalomaniacs, the result of selfish nationalism. PEACE, the hard way, the outgrowth of an internationalism which looks to the welfare of all rather than the aggrandizement of one. PEACE-is it merely a state envisioned by sentimental idealists? Or is it a realistic concept-to which we look with cynicism because past experience has instilled in us a disbelief in the possibility of Peace? We cry for peace; we make impassioned pleas in its behalf; we sigh despairingly as reports of new wars reach or ears. "Peace at any price" we shout as we make plans to punish the "aggressor" by boycotting his goods or refusing to sell to him. "We must not take sides as we did in the last great war" we solemnly declair as we point accusingly at this or that nation. Hypocritically unprejudiced we make slogans, post creeds, defend "rights." And whither are we drifting? It is all very well to profess a righteous indignation over the plight of a downtrodden nation. It is one of the better characteristics of human nature that it sympathizes with the weak. But we musf not allow our emotions to guide as when Peace is at stake. Emotions, are, at the best, unstable things. We must consider events in the light of cold logic. If we boycott one nation, we will be favoring another. Already we are taking sides. It is clear that the only way for a nation to maintain peace is to incorporate a policy of economic isolation where warring nations are concerned. Obviously this would give an advantage to the nation which was already in possession of the greater supply of resources of war. However, this may be, economic isolation remain the only feasible plan whereby war may be discouraged and Peace instituted as a fact rather than an idea. M. F. S. American Newspaper Guild Strike O F particular inte'r~st to the editors was the American Newspa~er Guild strike on the Wilkes-Barre Record because some of us, happily or unhappily, have journalistic aspirations. Too many times has our enthusiasm for +he field of writing been dampened by stories of college graduates as newspaper reporters, receiving fifteen dollars a week, working innumerable hours, and fearing at all times the slicing block. In many industries labor has been given strength by the union movement. The technical side of a newspaper: printing, composing, etc., has its potent Typi:Jg'raphical U~!on, which obtains for its rnnstitutents a, high wage, ' i?w hours, and the all-1mportant closed shop.

Most observers feel that this conference can do nothing to alleviate the Far Eastern situation and is doomed to certain failure. In the . first place, not one of the nations in attendance will accept the "leader" position or will take on any responsibility which might in the long run involve that nation in armed conflict. Secondly, Japan, who holds the key to future development toward peace or toward continued warfare, is not participating. Last week, the Nine Power Conference invited Japan to send representatives to exchange views with representatives of a small number of Powers. Broken down to literal meaning, the invitation "begs" Japan to "please" come. The invitation was so feeble, so obsequious, so conciliatory, that it probably reduced the Japanese to mocking laughter. An interesting sidelight of the conference was the attempt on the part of Sir Anthony Eden, Great Britain's Foreign Secretary, to organize an "Anti-Dictatorship" agreement with England, France, United States and other democratic nations as members. It is obvious that the purpose of an agreement of this sort would be to counteract the ominous "Holy Alliance Against Communism" which binds Italy, Japan, and Germany. However, it is reliably reported thaf all interest in this "democratic" pact has died because United States still ref uses to cooperate in any endeavor of this sort. In a few weeks or less, the N. P. C. will adjourn. On the day that the conference ends, the delegates will no doubt put their signatures to a proclama,. tion condemning Japan as an aggressor. This proclamation, we'll dare predict, will be the only end-product of the parley. -And, after all, didn't the United States, Great Britain, and the League 'of Nations recognize the fact that Japan was the aggressor long before the N. P'. C. was organ-ized? The delegates representing United' States will now come home and will meet reporters T who will ask them a number of questions brought up by the "donothing" policy of United States at the N. P. C. The following interview is not improbable. Reporter: "Does the United States stand for collective security and 'quarantine' or for neutrality and isolation?" Mr. Norman Davis: "We had a lovely trip." R.: "Is it · sufficient to give China moral support only?" Mr. D.: "The Queen Mary is a fine boat." R. : "What is our foreign policy?" Mr. D.: "Belgium is beautiful in the fall." In predicting these answers for Mr. Davis, this writer realizes that he has stumbled on another question of foreign policy. Would it be correct for a diplomat of the United States to admit that another country is beautiful and that another nation builds fine ships? The diplomatic mind of this country would probably analyze this question in this manner-"lt is correct and then ag-ain it Isn't -Now let me see-" •--Rabbi Wolk Speaks ( Continued from page one) "is the road to plenty.

One often hears comment to the effect that peace demonstrations accomplish nothing, that peace will not be secured by parades. Directly, peace parades do accomplish nothing. Indirectly, they accomplish much. You and I may be interested in the cause of peace, may have already pledged not to fight in any offensive war that the United States might enter. To use the peace demonstration is an indication that there are others who think as we do, that we are not alone in our condemnation of war. The thought gives us courage. But there are still a great many persons who have not caught the vision of how glorious life could be in a warless world. Blind patriotism would draw them into the ranks even though the United States were contemplating the most unjust war of aggression. A peace demonstration can wake these slumberers to the fact that THE BUCKNELL BEACON war may not be inevitable. A peace parade will stimulate constructive thought about remedying the social, economic, and political ills that are the underlying causes of war. It is only by everyone thinking and acting constructively that peace can ever hope to be achieved. Were only the kings and nobility of France responsible for the French Revolution? No. Thomas Carlyle declared that everyone, since Charlemagne and before, whether bootblack or sovereign, who had been pretending to be doing worthwhile things and really had been only misdoing, and sleeping and eating, had been contributing to the wrath which was being stored up against a day of wrath. Peace demonstrations deserve our support, not our condemnation. The people who plan these parades do not do so because they have nothing else to do. The planners have caught the vision of a world in which all nations will be as one, of a time when peace parades will not be necessary, of a day when all persons will be concerned with more glorious tasks than the butchering of his brothers.

This club is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment on condition that the members study and discuss world affairs from an unprejudiced point of view. The Endowment will send an installment of books chosen from the latest authoritative publications on international affairs. Also, a Fortnightly Summary of International Events is sent regularly to the club. The purpose of the Carnegie Endowment in undertaking this work is to fix the attention of students on the underlying principles of international conduct and thus promote a peaceful civilization.

Dr. Anatole DesJ ardins, of the X-Ray Department at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, was the first speaker of the year. Dr. DesJardins, throughout his address constantly emphasized the need for a "pleasing personality not only in the Pre-Medical-Medical Colleges but in practice as well." He stressed the necessary factors for entering medical school as being, "neatness, integrity, aptitude, scholastic ability, and sufficient funds, colleges seldom accepting students lacking necessary funds. The Medical Colleges in Pennsylvania are all recognized by the American Medical Association." Dr. DesJardins was introduced by the President, Francis Ford. The Pre-Medical Club is planning to have a number of such speakers, men who are qualified experts in their respective medical professions. Dr. Francis T. O'Donnell who is chairman of the "Diphtheria Prevention Campaign" will be the next speaker, his topic being "Nutrition." •--FACULTY NOTES HANGES in Bucknell Junior C Junior College include not only the new location but also some of the faculty who have chosen either to further their studies or to accept positions elsewhere. Miss Maje} Keith Brooks who taught French and was Dean of Women is at present continuing studies toward a Ph. D. at Columbia. Miss Brooks, whose home is in New York City is a Barnard graduate having received her Master's degree in French at Columbia. Dr. Churchill, professor of English is now head of the English department at Coe College, Cedar Crest, Iowa. The Churchills are the proud parents of a son, Malcolm Hughes, who weighed seven and one-half pounds at birth. Mrs. Churchill, who will be remembered as the Junior 'College librarian, has chosen to give up her library work.

BEACON Thursday, November 11, 1937 Ex-Garage Scene of Debaters Plan Busy, Thespian's Party Successful Season HE Thespians held a very r NRICHED by a number of T successful masqued party on October 29 in the ex-garage at Chase Hall. After meeting in the girls' lounge, the group gathered in the garage, where from the walls hung decorations giving the effect of Hallowe'en. Costumes were worn by all. Bob Conway seemed to attract wide attention with his costume of an old maid, because of his not being recognized until the late hours of the evening. Nagle also made a hit in his kilts. Music was furnished by the orthophonic from the reception room. No needle could be found so the committee used their brains and pulled out a cactus needle from a plant in Miss Sanguliano's office. The grand march took place at 9 :30. Guest judges were three former students from our Junior College who are now at the campus at Lewisburg. Prizes were awarded to Leo Simoson for the funniest costume and to Bob Conway for the most original. After a mad scramble searching for hidden peanuts, Herman Propker was awarded for the possession of the greatest amount. The climax of the evening of dancing and fun-making was marked by the serving of a lunch of pumpkin pie and hot coffee. C eager newcomers, coached by a new professor, bolstered by two regulars from last year, the Debating Club looks forward to an active season. Several practice debates have already been held on the question, "Resolved that Mr. Justice Black resign." Dr. Brown is sufficiently encouraged from the activities thus far to predict a successful season. Maurice Reishtein and John Gambold, who participated in several debates last year, will serve as the nucleus of this year's team. Each year Pi Kappa Delta, national debating fraternity, selects a timely question which all associated colleges use throughout the term. This year's question is, "Resolved that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all industrial disputes." Tentative debates have already been arranged with Penn State, Scranton Keystone Junior College, Muhlenberg, Bucknell at Lewisburg, St. Thomas, and Nassau College in Long Island. It is hoped that St. Joseph's and Temple University in Philadelphia will also agree to debate the Junior College. GALA REVELRY MARKS GERMAN CLUB PARTY ERMAN CLUB members G entertained the elementary German class at a masked Hallowe'en Party at Chase Hall on Tuesday evening, October 26. To the howls of the "simple pleasure" music of the victrola in radio's clothing, swished a peasant girl and an anthracite miner, an Arabian boy and an Ukranian girl, a petite Martha Washington and a tall Mexican; and last but not least that attractive couple composed of a pirate girl and a bonnie Scotch laddie. Freddie the Freshman seemed to be having some difficulty in leading sweet Varsity Sue about the floor. Believing that it's smart to be late, the little old lady made her debut later in the evening, and attracted quite a good bit of attention trying to manage her hoops as she did a modern "hop." What might be well called the "duck dance," was a highlight of the evening. With his noble brow dripping with H2O and possessively munching an apple, the rather wilted, drooping swain presented a slip of paper containing the girl's name to her, and he blissfully proceeded to enjoy the dance.

Farley's policy of inviting distinguished local citizens to speak at assemblies, Mr. Thomas Hicks, prominent in business circles, addressed the student body today. Mr. Hicks is well qualified to give the school an invaluable insight into both national affairs and local problems. A graduate of Dickinson and the Harvard School of Business Administration, he has lived in every state of the union. For some time he was Secretary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce a nd. was associated with the Filene Department Store in Boston. (The late Edward Filene, proprietor of the store, gained international fame for his liberalism, although a business magnate.) Later Mr. Hicks came to Wyoming Valley, and has been an energetic booster of local industry since that time. He first entered the local limelight as district manager of Sears-Roebuck, and then became manager of Pomeroy's. One of the mainstays of the expansion program of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Hicks has done a great deal of special work in that line. Anthracite industries, which recently conducted an extensive campaign in connection with Anthracite Week, early enlisted Mr. Hick's aid. • lettermen held their iniT HE tial meeting of the current year on October 6.

THURSDAY MISS BARBARA RYERSON ISS BARBARA RYERSON, new addition to the staff of Bucknell University professors, granted an interview the other day which proved highly interesting and informative. Not at all the "professorial" type, Miss Ryerson is a very charming person, at home with students and faculty alike. Her manner put your reporter off his guard but following is the salvaged bit of evidence which came out of the interview: Interested in dramatics, she holds the distinction of playing the leading role in a production given in Paris, honoring the American ambassador to France ,a nd the cliief donner to the Universal Foundation. Since that time, among other activities, she has been directing French plays in this country. Her earlier education was received in this country at LaSalle Junior College in Auburndole, near Boston. Graduating fr(}'11 Wellesley, she then went abroad for several years visiting France, Switzerland and Sp,ain. At the Sorbonne she received a diploma. While in Switzerland she put in a year of study at Rausone. When asked the most thrilling experience of her life, Miss Ryerson had a rather difficult time answering but finally admitted that playing the lead in the aforementioned French play thrilled her considerably. Secondly, skiing in the Alps, pl'oved one of her big moments. Not at all content merely teaching F•rench, Miss Ryerson would like to teach Spanish. M Junior College, prospects for the current season look very promising. Twenty-eight candidates responded to Coach "Hank" Peters' first call for tryouts, and the past two weeks have been spent in whipping the squad into preliminary shape. Although hard hit by the loss of eight men through graduation, the 1937-1938 cage season should be a successful one, judging from advance reports on the individual records of veterans ar,d candidates.

A sharp bang on the upper end of the piano by Marjorie Shapiro, mistress of ceremonies, to announce the program, served to bring the girls out of that "after supper" lethargy. The high spot of the evening's entertainment was the peanut pushing contest which Christine Whiteman won by a nose, def eating lier fellow pushers, LiJ.. lian Stein, Dorothy Smailes, and Mary Donnelly. The evening ended with piano selections and a humorous song by Mrs. Farley. The party ended with the singing of the Alma Mater by the entire group.

The vice presidency went to Robert Hopkins. Marguerite Krashkevich was elected secretary and Joseph Gibbons was elected treasurer. Catherine Lewis and Robert Nagle were chosen to represerrt. the -freshman class on the Student Council. MacGuffie, a graduate of West Pittston High School, was a member of the varsity baseball and basketball teams at that institution. He intends to continue participating in these sports at B. U. J. C. By virtue of his election, MacGuffie automatically becaine a member of the Student Council. •--LOCAL LIBRARIANS RECEIVED AT TEA Q N Sunday, October 17, the women members of the faculty •a nd the wives of faculty members entertained the librarians of the city at a tea. During the afternoon the guests. were conducted through the buildings and shown the Bucknell Junior College library. Guests consisted of librarians from Osterhout Library, Hoyt Library, Wyoming Valley Historical Society, city and high school libraries and Wid~ Awake Book Shop. In the past, these librarians have been exceedingly kind in helping Bucknell students. It was in appreciation of this fact and in a desire to further a friendship already established that the tea was given. �Page Two THE BUCKNELL THE BUCKNELL BEACON Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania EDITORS ASSISTANT EDITOR ART EDITOR SOCIAL EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR CONTRIBUTING STAFF Stanley Daugert, Maurice Reishtein, Marjorie Shapiro Murray Edelman Betty Fenton Ilaria Sterniuk Herman Propker Phyllis Ackerman, Robert Kerr, Helen Coats, Pauline Kirshner, Jerome Greenwald, Marguerite Krashkevich, Christine Hartman, Dorothy Hughes, Bessie Lewis. { Wilma Jones, Richard Owen, Lillian Stein.

The editors of The BEACON have been listening to past criticism of the paper and feel that the critics have had just cause for complaint. We therefore have changed our publication to the newspaper form, and the transition wa$ not easy, we assure you, with new reporters and a new printery. The Collins Press, conveniently located in central city is our printery. The Dallas-Post printery did our work last year. We express our thanks to its members for their excellent workmanship and always evident cooperation. In last issue's editorial staff, three members of last year's sophomore class cooperated with the present editors to put out an issue of The BEACON for the freshman. Were it not for these three associate editors Walter Thomas and John Saricks and business manager Sidney Levine, we doubt that September twentieth would have seen 300 issues distributed, We sincerely hope the difference pleases you and we invite suggestiori for improvement. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE LIBRARY Date of Publication-1950 HE word library originally meant a collection of books, and, the place where a collection was kept. When the college system was institutec:i, someone hit on the fine idea that a library might be utilized very excellently as a place for study. So, for centuries, men and women went to libraries to find books, and, for years and years, students studied there. But now we come to to the year I937 when a group of entirely original students at Bucknell University Junior College instituted a drastic change in the word library. A library, to them was a place where one might lounge comfortably, argue freely and loudly, and converse pleasantly with the members of the opposite sex. The word, librarian, which formerly meant a person in charge of a library, was changed by these radical fellows, to "a pestiferous pussy-foot." Fortunately for civilization, these new meanings proved ephemeral. These definitions became oblivious when the "Bucknell Beacon" for October 19, printed a most unusual editorial, which satirically alluded to the misdoings and foolishness of the originators. Another factor which contributed to the restoration of the original meanings was an announcement by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, director of the college, to the effect that the mixed lounge would be opened in the near future on a scheduled basis, and that the conservatory would be transformed into a place for joint study . Thus a library remains to this day a place where one may find books, and where one may study in perfect ·quiet. T YOUR LETTERS REQUESTED T HE BEACON is not merely a news agent which faculty and students read each month, nor is it merely a means for providing aspiring reporters with journalistic training-and, more emphatically, it is not an excuse for frequent and heated debates among the members of the staff. Of course it lends expression to all these purposes-especially the first. Next to its news-providing value, The BEACON serves as an organ of student-faculty opinion. On its editorial page, The BEACON brings to you the views, the atti tudes of its editors. This, we realize, is not enough. Although the staff attempts to be representative in its sentiments, this is not always possible. It is for this reason that we are instituting a column to be devoted to letters that you, our readers, send to us. We welcome constructive criticism, intelligent discussion, and questions that will be of interest to all of our readers. For obvious reasons, it is requested that names be signed to all letter~ submitted. No names, however, will be published. BEACON Tuesday, October 19, 1937 SCHOOL DAYS-READING, f _ _Pi __ro_fe_sst_'on_s_ _ WRITING, EURYTHMICS l l ----· ■ ■----- • • ,4 EDUCATION • (This feature is a continuation of the series begun in last year's "BEACON". The 'f)Urpose of thes,' articles is to give the student a kaleidoscopic insight into the potentialities ,a nd other phases of the various professions.) • "ARE you going to be a TEACHER! Oh, dear!" "You don't re.ally mean you're taking up 'teaching!" With an attempt at bravado, we calmly reply, "Yes." What's so awful about that? True enough, we would agree with most anybody that teaching, as a profession, ha:s probably the least recompense of any position, considering the amount of time and expense involved to receive one's degree, but the personal satisfaction derived from knowing that you have conveyed some slight knowledge into someone else's cranium would suffice us. There are several phases of the teaching profession that should be considered before deciding to be a "teacher". Do you want to teach kindergarten youngsters, primary school children, high school people or college men and women? Are you psychologically fitted to cope with the problems that these different people may cast at you? Do you feel that you could endure going over and over the same fields year after year with only slight variations? The:se are only a few of the questions you should ask yourself before you even think of teaching. The preparation required to obtain a teaching degree varies at different institutions. Some colleges .and normal schools demand only two or three years' attendance, carrying only the average number of credit hours during this period, but the degree received qualifies the graduate to teach only primary grades with a primary-grade salary. Other colleges require from four to six years' training of a student with the hope of a higher position and the accompanying remuneration. The possibilities for advancement in the field of education lie solely with the individual concerned. The old adage of "There is always chance for advancement" goes 100 per cent ' 11 this profession, even though many people would tend to discredit this statement. sound of a drum, booting T HE a steady rhythm, coming from the general direction of the Elk's Hall, signifies the meeting of the classes in eurythmics. Miss Frances MacDonald, a graduate of Skidmore College, class of 1937, with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, is in charge of the classes. Miss MacDonald is a former pupil of Miss Susan Cassidy and is a member of her staff. The course in eurythmics is designed to develop the eye, the ear and the motoric senses in order that the body may react naturally and by doing so express individual personality. The classes will first study the basic principles of posture and reaction to tempo. Slowly they will work into a series of body movements to various rhythms. These exercises, however, are more than a routine; they are comprehensive responses totempo, phrasing, diminuendo and crescendo, using music or percussion instruments as the guide. The aim of the course is t-e teach the correct posture directions of the body and degrees of speed. When these are mastered, a very definite control of the body is established. Ev,ery girl at Bucknell is required to practice eurythmics for two hours each week. -~- PETERS ORGANIZFJ BOWLING CIRCUIT intramural b o w 1 i n ,.,.

In order to stimulate more interest in the competition, prizes will be given to the winning teams and high scoring individuals at the end of the season. �Tuesday, October 19, 1937 CRYING CHORISTERS about noon time on A ROUND any Tuesday or Thursday the ear of the hurried passer-by will probably be greeted by the faint but unmistakable sound of voices raised in song emanating from the main lounge of Chase Hall. Voila-what does he see-The Bucknell Junior College Choral Society-which is composed of men and women students who not only want to sing, but ( what is more important), who can sing. There they sit caroling joyfully but always harmoniously, and beaming brightly, their leader who beams back even more brightly meanwhile keeping a stern eye on matters such as rhythm, tonal quality and the serious young tenor in the second row who inadvertently wanders off into the soprano part. The passer-by has now departed and your reporter who lras been standing attentively if unobtrusively in the background, steps forward to learn facts. We discover that Mr. Blankenship, the new director of the Choral Club, anticipates an .extensive program and therefore, a successful season; that for the present the club will concentrate its energies upon simpler work so as to be well acquainted with the rudiments of choral work ; that in the spring the chorus will display the results of its practice in a ooncert or musicale; that club members and director alike are looking forv· 1.rd with much anticipatio: , Lo the first social event on the club calendar which will probably be an outing; and that new members are more than welcome-especially sopranos and tenors for which there is a crying (no pun intended) need. ---•--- THE ALL BUCKNELL BASKETBALL PROSPECTS Guiney, .Campbel~ Learch Should Cop Free Style, Backstroke Wins nated at the pivot post with Bill (Continued from page one) Atherholt last year, will probably cover the same position regularly this year. Bill Thomas, captain of this year's team and also one of last year's high scorern, will be in action this year. "Shorty" Thomas, who has two years of experience with the team, will also be available. Outstanding among this year's new candidates are: Al Baker, former Nanticoke High School all-scholastic guard; Ed Gayewski, who was a member of Newport's -state championship squad; Herman Propker, graduate of G.

This year's team will face one of the hardest schedules ever carded for a Bucknell team, meeting such outstanding teams as Long Island U. Frosh, St. Thomas Frosh, Colgate and Cornell Frosh, Wyoming Sem, Wyomissing Polytechnical of Reading, Wilkes-Barre Y. M. C. A., Keystone Junior College, Albri g-ht Frosh of Reading, Bucknell U.

Besides a good number of regulars from last year's team, the most promising array of freshman candidates since past years have responded. Hold-overs from last year include co-captains Norman Costine and John Kasper. Others who have returned to see action in this sport of rapidly rising popularity in Bucknell Junior College are Robert Maguire, Charles Millard, Joe Brislin and Jack Mundry. These sophomores will be hard pressed by freshmen of unquestioned calibre, among whom are Arnold Learch, backstroker; John Guiney, a star in the 50- and 100-yard free-style, and James Campbell, former high school distance record-holder, who should cop first place in the 200-400-y.ard free style. Other promishing freshmen candidates include Melford Hyman, Albert French, Josef Ratajske ,and Robert Hopkins. Changes have been made in the schedule printed in the first issue of The BEACON. The corrected schedule for the 1938 season follows: Jan. 7, Hazleton YMCA, at Hazleton. Jan. 8, St. Thomas College, at home.

Between February 12 and March 5, there are several open dates which may possibly be filled by Cornell and some New York City college. The swimming team this year is a member of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Swimming League of which Henry Peters is president. The schedule which has been arranged by Mr. Peters and Coach Obitz, should create some exciting interest in Bucknell Junior College as competition will be keen and the team's ,a bility will be tested to the extreme. As Coach Obitz said, "With the incoming men to bolster up our team we should have a very successful season, provided that illness, which has handicapped my team and me in the past, does not put in an appearance." Pointing to the future, Manager Wiarmkessel has admitted, "Things look pretty good." •-- l I -------------·······~ "BEAUTICIANS TO THE WOMAN WHO CARES" Hotel Sterling Wilkes-Barre Dial 2.1842 1 Triplex Shoes 27 PUBLIC SQUARE WILKES-BARRE - - - •••••••••• - •• ■ ■ - - - -~ Su5an GaneJlf ❖ ~ --• Corner North Main and Bennett Streets STUDENTS New·Building BEACON Outstanding Valley Swimmers Bolster Regulars; Hopes High The Y.

SCHULTE 'fiOLERANT BODY SENTEN'CES FROSH N Friday, October 12, the O freshman class came to grips with Fate and the sophomores. Fate willed it that they enter the class of '41 at B. U. J. C. and willed that they answer to charges of insuborddnation of one sort or another. We venture to compliment those who conducted the trial on their fine sense of integrity and their knowledge of the more intricate points of court proredure. It is with much regret that we make note of the unethical conduct of the defendants and their attorney. Mr. MacDuffy has too often resorted to what is purely and simply perjury. We regret that the bar tolerates such actions. It is too bad that the defendants could not confine themselves to activities countenanced by the laws laid down by the sophomore class which is assuredly an able law-making body if there ever was one ( and we think there was.) . It is utterly deplorable that after flaunting these laws that they resorted to even more unlawful practices in order to acquit themselves. States Attorney Pell, Judge Ford and the jury displayed remarkable tolerance in the face of the problem that confronted them. ---• •.. ~I~~;~~~-~~~~ .. --1 Luncheonette -MR. SCHAL!..

That was the last report concerning the freshman enrollment. In fact this year promises to be a banner year for the Junior College, depending, of course, upon the co· operation of you freshmen. I, as President of the Sophomore class, extend to you the best wishes of my class, and hope that you as a member of the class of '41, will strive to your utmost to make yourself and your class worthy of Bucknell Junior College. Of course, you are expected to obey all Freshman rules. These rules, though they seem silly or unnecessary to some, are the very backbone of Freshman life and are a means of developing a true college atmosphere which one never forgets. So don't be afraid, much . RICHARD ROUSH, President of the Class of '40 FRESHMAN COOPERATION IN ACTIVITIES DR. JAMES FARLEY WELCOME TO BUCKNELL One of the great pleasures that comes with college work is the constant contact with young men and women of high ambition and fine ideals. Each June old friends leave us and go on to the _iunior and senior years in other colleges. Those of us who remain behind miss these friends but do not lose them. From time to time they return and we are able to see the progress and development they are making. Each September we greet new students and gradually develop those common interests th,tt are the basis of lasting friendships. So year by year students come and go, but always friendships remain to enrich the lives of all of us who work together at Bucknell. In the Junior College we are thrown intimately together as is never the case in the larger univer, sities. For nine months each year we share our work, our ideas, and our pleasures, and it is through this sharing that we develop the spirit of cooperation and. friendliness that we wish to characterize Buckndl. (Continued on Page 4) Upon entering the Junior College this year, the freshmen will undoubtedly want to know just what activities are open to them. Many of them will want to pursue some of the extra-curricular activities in which they engaged in their respective high schools. Others will want to seek new fields of inten-st in such clubs that were nonexistent in high school. Still others, perhaps, will ask about forming new clubs. Let it be clearly understood at the outset: no activity is closed to freshmen. This rule has no exception in Bucknell Junior College. The small size of the school would prevent any restriction even if exclusion would benefit any particular club. Where it would probably be beneficial in a larger college, it would not be feasible to exclude any student in the Junior College from any activity whatsoever. It being a two-year institution, members must get their start in their freshman year and close that activity insofar as the Junior Cot, lege is concerned in their sophomore year. We are working to what seems a logical conclusion. Admitting that freshmen must take part in the several activities from the .beginning in order to "know the ropes" in order to continue ex, panding and benefiting the clubs of their second year, and admitting that the sophomores are merely (Continued on Page 3) �'Two THE BUCKNELL BEACON YEAR'S DRAMATIC OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING . SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED THESPIANS' SEASON OPENS WITH "POMEROY'S PAST" Altho~h this is the first year that the Junior College has offered scholarships through competitive examinations and though these scholarships were limited to eight, over fifty eager high school graduates were on hand to give their all. Those eight who ranked the highest were a warded the scholarships. The winners of the $100 scholarships are J. Murray Adelman of Coughlin High School, and Bessie A. Lewis of Meyers High School; $50 scholarship winners: Francis A. Baldawski of Wyoming High School, Genevieve Brenan of Kingston High School, Ann E. Gallow of Meyers High School, Robert E. Nagle of Wyoming High School, and Lillian Stein of Nanticoke High School. The final winner of a $50 scholarship has not been announced as yet. With the presentation of "Pomeroy's Past", a three-act comedy by Clare Kummer, the Bucknell University Junior College Thespians formally open their 1937-38 season, which promises to be noteworthy in Bucknell Junior College's history if sue· cess can be measured by the excellent rehearsals preceding the performance. While viewing these rehearsals, it was evident that the actors were successfully attempting to accustom themselves to the drawing-room style of presentation. They gave their lines effectivelv and moved very naturally to their various positi~ns outside the "fourth wall". When "Pomeroy's Past" was given last May with the same cast, the players had to learn certain positions on the stage itself. Now they had to become accustomed to four or five very real rooms and a cosmopolitan style of presentation. This transformation they have accomplished with notable success and its results will be viewed September 20 in the Presbyterian Church House. The cast consisted of Joseph Donnelly, Betty Tonks, Ralph Johnston, Betty Fenton, Elizabeth Davies, Monroe Freed, Ilaria Sterniuk, Stanley Daugert and Walter Thomas. The ~fficers and members of the Bucknell University Junior College Thespians welcome freshmen to join this society which is now a permanent feature in the Junior College roster of clubs. It began last year with the combined ~~orts of its present director, Mass Norma Sanguihano and .a group of ambitious students who later proved their talents to the satisfaction of students, parents and professional critics alike. The Wilkes-Barre Rec.ord of May 21 reported: "the play ............ showed a decided improvement over the first. Roles were more aptly fitted, lines were more distinctly delivered, and action was faster." Thus encouraged it was easily seen that such a club was not only a benefit to the Junior College students alone but also to those people of the community who appreciate dramatic art produced and played intelligently. During the summer season former and present members of the club have been working to improve both the status of the club and their own individual talent. Nearly all of last year's members have been out to see the Broadway !'layers at Nuangola at one time or other. Some students have seen all these performances and have been introduced to the entire cast through the efforts of Miss Sanguiliano. Plays were seen at various points of the compass by the members--Lake Placid, New York and Atlantic City being several of the stops. Results of seeing such performances will probably be evident in the improved acting, staging and production of plays. Members did not confine themselves to play· going. The conception of the dramatics club room over the Chase garage was also a part of the program to improve the club. This was prepared during the summer with the willing assistance of last year's president, Joseph Dbnnelly, and other former members now juniors. Numerous plays were read throughout the summer with production in mind. Concentration centered on Henrik Ibsen, the great Norwegian tragedian. · Several members also responded to the call of the radio. Under the auspices of the Wyoming Valley Historical and Geological Society WBRE broadcasted five scripts written and directed by Harold Wertheimer, graduate of St. Thomas University. Mr. Wertheimer called upon several m~mbers of last year's Thespians to read these scripts and they readily responded. These productions throue-hout the summer brought wide and favorable comm'ent to all concerned. Some critics said they were the best performances the radio workshop had thus far provided. In the absence of a theater, plays will temporarily be given in the Presbyterian playhouse. Hopes are still held high for remodeling the Chase garage into a suitable theater. Eventually the Junior College will build a theater on its own grounds. _ Through the medium of this column, Miss Norma Sanguiliano, director, and Stanley Daugert, president, wish to thank those juniors who took part in last year's work. They also wish to remind them that the present members of the club will expect to hear from' them wherever they may be this year. �'Three THE BUCKNELL BEACON THE ART OF LIVING THROUGH PHYSICAL EDUCATION Even the mere observer knows the artistic delight which comes from seeing a thing done properly and well. If is not uncommon to speak of a beautiful tackle on the gridiron or a beautiful double play on the diamond. In such uses one ia not speaking lightly; one is speaking with profound truth. A beautiful tackle is beautiful in a strict aesthetic sense. One is simply paying tribute to the artistry of a thing done artistically. To this aim therefore, physical education should be directed. Through intra-mural activity, students should attempt to develop timing and finesse, which only come through the actual participation in athletic contests. It is while they are learning the fundamentals of various games, and striving to master the rudiments of plays, that they are able to understand and appreciate the intricacies of attistrv in sports. This knowledge is unlike anything els~ in our school curriculum. It is something that cannot be acquired by studying text books. It might be compare-cl to the sensitivity of a musician's ear; the musician alone can detect discords in the rendering of a composition. Even so, the student must learn to judge and value rhythm as it. is executed in the fields of sports. Every youth enjoys making new contacts. At no other time in his life will , he mingle with so many boys who are his potential friends, as when he is in collegi:-. A philosopher has said, "if we go through life making no new friends, our oki friends will die, and eventually we shall be left · alone."' Thrrefore, it is imperative for us to en deavor to map out a program that will create wholesome friendships through personal contact$ in play and athletic contests. The feeling of relationship, which springs from playing side-by-side with the same objective in mind, is that quality which makes for everlasting fraternalism. Consequently. physical education is something more than a builder of physical fitness; it is a medium through which we may obtain profound friendship. It is the Golden Mean, as Aristotle stated it, toward which we should strive in teaching physical education, that our students may not become muscle-bound mentally or physically. We should endeavor to teach our young people to recognize and appreciate things done in an artistic way. This is our debt to them. CALLING ALL REPORTERS Last year the "Buc~nel! Beacon" through the efforts of a capable staff of editors and reporters managed gradually to improve its issues until it reached, not perfection, but at least a presentable form of publication. In order to keep the ball rolling the editors of the "B!acon" will need many new reporters, since the majority of reporters have gone on to finish their education elsewhere. This will give members of the freshman class, who are interested in Journalism, a chance to gain practical experience on a college paper. The "Beacon" has become an important institution in the coll::-ge. · Its issues are sent to over fifty different high schools and colleges located all over the country. Thus the paper serves an important function in that it helps to give people on the outside an idea of what the Junior College really is. We, who started from scratch last year, trust that those who are journalistically inclined will give their support to a worthy cause in an endeavor to improve the "Beit1con", both in content and in form. A meeting will be held in the near future to reorganize the staff. All freshmen, who are interested, are urged to be present. ALUMNI OUTING On August 28 the newly formed Alumni Assoc, iation of Bucknell Junior College held its first outing at Harrison Park in the Poconos. A fine crowd was present to enjoy a day crammed_ full of exciting events. James Ramsey was chairman of the affair. The feature of the afternoon was the softbali game between the Holy Rollers, a team composed of members of the celebrated Saricks-Ramsey-O', Donnell intellectuals and a team made up of for, mer Junior College athletes. The athletes emerged the victor after a hard fought game by the close score of 20 to 9. Swimming was also a popular pastime with members of the fair sex indulging to the greatest degree. After a refreshing supper, the day was brought to a climax by a Junior College interpretation o:f farmer and modern dances. FRESHMAN COOPERATION (Continued from Page 1) extending what were formerly their freshman activities, we see how inextricably these two classes are interwoven. The keynote of this inevitable meshing is cooperation on the part of the freshmen and sophomores. Cooperation, quite naturally, demands two parties. The second year stu, dents will do their part. It is left to the newcomers to follow their example. �Four THE BUCKNELL BEACON The Bucknell Beacon Published at Buc~nell University Junior College at Wil~es-Barre Co-Editors Jack Saricks, Walter Thomas Contributing Editors Betty Tonka, Morris Reishstein, Stanley Daugert, Bideth Davies, Sidney Leving Faculty Advisor Dr. Wilfrid Crook Advertising rates: 65c for first inch ( single column), 45c for each additional inch.

Although we fully realize that it is rather early m the year for an editorial of the preaching var• iety, we feel that there is a matter which should he brought to the attention of Junior College stu· dents as soon as possible. This has to do with the care of the fine new buildings which have been placed at the college's disposal this year through the civic-mindedness of the Stark and Conyngham families. All summer, workmen have been busily engaged in painting and remodelling Chase and Conyngham Halls so that they would be in first rate condition when the college year began. As a result the stu• dents will find the classrooms and halls clean and fresh when their classes begin this week. We earnestly hope that the students will exert a little thought and endeavor to keep the buildings in as fine condition as they now are. If everyone does his share, there is no reason why the buildings cannot keep their spick and span appearance for years to come. Chase and Conyngham Halls are new at present; let's keep them that way. In the past history of the Junior College the parts of the building which have been of gravest cone.em to the authorities in their attempt to see that a high standard of tidiness is maintained has been the boys' and girls' lounges. Surely all those who attended Junior College when it was in its old location will agree with us that the loi.mges were never properly cared for. The House Com• mittee, which has since been abolished, never seem· ed to be able to discover a practical plan by which the lounges could be kept in the desired good order. Certainly the cozy new lounges located in . .Chase Hall this year de.serve much more consideration from the students than the lounges in the old building received. Those in charge of the college's destmy have shown good judgment in setting a· side a cafeteria in Chase Hall where those students who bring their lunches with them will be compelled to eat instead of allowing them to eat in the lounges. This ruling removes a situation which in previous years always stood forth as one of the biggest problems to be encountered in the care of the lounges. Now if students will only be care· ful in seeing that their cigarette stubs and ashes are properly disposed of, the lounges at last stand a good chance of .being ready at all times to com• bat the critical gazes of visitors. We trust that the students will keep all these things in mind as they go about their work this year and that they will take pride in keeping the buildings just as fine looking as they themselves found them. WELCOME TO BUCKNELL (Continued from Page 1) Perhaps because we are a new and growing college, an added zest comes to our endeavors. We are none of us striving for ourselves alone, but all of us are helping to build an atmosphere and tra· dition that will mean much to those who follow us. During your first week there will be no classes, and we will have opportunities to become acquaint· ed with one another and to plan our work for the coming ylear. It is my hope that from the very time you enter our doors you will feel something of the Bucknell spirit and that before you leave you will find yourself absorbed in this spirit and adding something finer to it. The two classes that have preceded you have prepared this first issue of the paper for your welcome. They hope that you will enjoy it and that some of you will join with them in publishing the remaining issues of the "Beacon". You will find, also, that then: are other activities waiting for you, all of which supplement the work of the classroom and are definitely a part of college life. Their success will depend upon your inma· tive, and you in turn should secure both pleasure and profit from active participation in them. You will find that the faculty is ready and anx· ious to cooperate and advise you whenever you desire. It is, after all, the joy of personal contact that makes our work with you so pleasant. I sincerely hope that you will find in Bucknell the realization of your hopes, and that you will work with us to establish a fine tradit 'on for the Junior College. -Dr. Eugene Farley. �THE BUCKNELL BEACON Five BOWLING SEASON OPENS SWIMMING PROSPECTS, BRIGHT The 1937-38 sports program of Bucknell Junior College will be ushered in Tuesday night, Sept. 22, when the Bowling Team will meet the In and Outers at the Central Y. M. C. A. This is the second year for Bucknell to be represented in the House League conducted by the Y. M. C. A. Last year the Bison pinmen, with an inexperienced team, finished in sixth place in the league. Without any experienced bowlers, and rolling for the first time in league competition, the Junior College's record was all that could be expected under such conditions. However, the story this year should be quite different. The team will be handicapped somewhat by the graduation of Captain Leonard Rushin, John Parkinson, Felix Stroinski, and Melvin Kam, inski, who held the high individual score of the league with a single game total of 253. Their places will be taken by Albert Shafer, Dave Jones, Thomas Bartosh and Joseph Drier, who were chos, en to represent the Junior College because of their outstanding performance in the intramural league sponsored by Bucknell as a part of their Physical Education program. The veterans of last year's bowling team are Captain elect Robert Peters, Thomas Jenkins, and Stanley Daugert. 11he abovementioned men, all sophomores, will represent the college in the first half of the league schedule, and will continue to do so until the freshmen demonstrate their ability to replace members of the varsity team. The prospect of having a successful season seems bright for the Bucknell J. C. swimming team with the return from last year's squad ·of co-captains Norman Costine and John Kasper, along with Robert Maguire, Charles Millard, Joe Brislin, Jack Mundry and Joe Conlon. . Among the incoming students who will try out for the team are: Harry Welsh, ex-Meyers star in fancy diving and freestyle sprints. John Guiney, backbone of the Central Y. M. C. A.'s swim teams starring in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. James Campbell, former distance M). A., A. A.

The team has lost eight of the varsity squad through graduation, namely Captain Eddie Davis, Bill Atherholt, Don McHugh, Dave Smith, Frank Sgarlet, Eddie Johnson, Charley Thomas, and Joe Wesley. The team, this year, will be built around Captain Bill Thomas, Francis Ford, Clarence Jones, Walter Thomas, and Charley Romane. Such teams as Colgate and Cornell Frosh, Long Island U. Frosh, St. Thomas E1rosh, Wyoming Seminary, \\Tyomissing Folytechnical of Reading, W-B Y. M. C. A., Keystone Jr. College, Albright Frosh of Reading, Bucknell U. Prosh, and Syracuse U. Frosh will be met. Nevertheless, Coach Peters is quite confident that his boys witl come out on top in a number of these games. In order to have a well knit and closely relateci student body there must be a well organized stu, dent government that can capably carry on and look after the interests of the students. The Stu, <lent Council is such an organization. It is composed of the President of the Freshman class, the President of the Sophomore class, and the President or Manager of each of the following activi, ties: Athletics, Debating, Paper, Dramatics, Choral Club; also a man and woman selected by the Freshman class at large, a man and woman sdccted by the Sophomore class at large, the President of the Social Activities Committee. and of the House Committee. Morris Reishstein, President of the Council for this year, is a capable leader and much is expected of him. It is his duty to explain the function of the Student Council more fully to you at a later date. INTRAMURAL BOWLING UNDER WAY Extensive plans have been made to insure a successful season in the intramural bowling league for the opening in November. Last year there were seven teams entered in the league, with six team5 picked from the student body and one team made up of members of the faculty, captained by Prof. Voris B. Hall. The captains of the various student teams are selected from the varsity team. Each team will consist of six men, allocated to each team according to averages. Prizes will be award, ed at the end of the season for single high game score highest· number of strikes, highest number of sp~res, high three game score, and prizes to each member of the winning team. The members of last year's championship team included: Leonard Rushin, Captain, William Atherholt, Melvin Ka~inski, Joseph Podrasky, Frank Sgarlet, and Francis Ford. JUST BEFORE THE BATILE "Now, boys," said the pleasant and somewhat undersized umpire. "Let's have an understanding. Unpleasantness is the last thing I wish." The ultratough baseball captain stepped up, "Any other last words?" he inquired. S. 0 . S. The deep-sea diver was hard at work on the bed of the ocean. Suddenly an urgent voice came over the telephonr which connected him with the boat above. "What's the matter, chum?" he asked. "Come up quickly," he heard. "The captain's just told me the bloomin' boat's .sinking!" LUNCHEONETTE PLANNED There is no need for a lengthy and loquacious article on the emerging of Bucknell Junior College from a dowdy caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. Everyone has heard about it and everyone knows that at last we have a college in Wilkes-Barre. There is something more to a college than books, students, professors, etc. There must be atmosphere. Junior College has beautiful buildings, it has lovely grounds and now it has a place where the students can gather to eat and talk! We, in charge of the luncheonette, will try to accommodate you to the best of our ability. We do not say that there will be an unlimited. selection of food but we will serve soups, sandwiches, sodas, etc. at prices which we are sure will appeal to you. Even you who bring your lunches will find it a pleasant place to eat since the lounges are not to be used for this purpose. The luncheonette is located in Chase Hall. It will accommodate only a limited number, but since there is no definite lunch hour we feel that we can competently take care of all customers. NO CHANGE A Yankee was on a walking tour in Scotland. Snow had fallen and he was struggling along a narrow road when he met a Highlander. "I guess, my friend, I'm lost!" he said, plaintively. Scot: "Is there a reward oot for ye?" American : "Nope." Scot: "W eel, ye 're still lost." �r · · · ~~ I: Seven THE BUCKNELL BEACON BUCKNELL'S COACHES 1,( .. \' ,), Cuts Courtesy 'Times-Leader _ HENRY (HANK) PETERS Hank Peters has been with the Junior College since its inauguration into the valley. He has been the coach ·of the basketball and baseball teams, as well as having charge of intramural athletics. He sponsored the first swimming team in the Junior College and founded the Northeastern Pennsyl, vania Basketball League of which he is President. Hank is a graduate of Coughlin High and Wyo, ming Seminary where he starred in basketball and baseball. His name is well known throughout the Valley for his interest in clean, vigorous sports. CLARENCE (SLATS) OBJTZ Clarence Obitz is the former star and champion of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He has been prominently associated with swimming since his retire, ment from active competition and he has been instrumental in forming the first swim~ing league in this vicinity. He has been handicapped somewhat by illness during the past year and by a dearth of material, but this year will tell a different story. WALTER (SHORTY) THOMAS Shorty has been a member of the varsity basketball and baseball teams for th1:; past two years and ha6 done much in the furtherance _of athletics in the Junior College. Due to the . incre~d enroll, ment and in anticipation of a broader intramural program, it was necessary that aid be given to Coach Peters. Shorty _has been given the opportunity to assist Mr. Peters in his duties and should be a valuable asset to him. �Eight THE BUCKNELL BEACON LIST OF FRESHMEN The fqlfowing list includes the names of fresh, men who -had been admitted up to and including September 13.

I WEDNESDAY, MAY DOCTOR CROOK TALKS \lt No. 10 26, 1937 CONVOCATION The night of June third, will find the class of '39 assembled at Bucknell Junior College for the last time. The young women will bedeck themselves i11 their cool and crisp gowns while the men stu, dents will be attired in their Sunday best. The members of the sophomore class will walk into the auditorium-two by two- the faculty will occupy the stage and will probably wear caps and gowns. The program for the evening will consist of a group of songs by the choral club and probably a short talk by Dr. Farley. At the time this paper went to press the speaker had not been chosen but Dr. Farley promises that he will have a very interesting man to address us. We urge all of you to attend-both to bid fare, well to the sophomores and to spend an enjoyable evening listening to good speaker. RESULTS OF THE STUDENT POLL It seems fitting ·that a professor with · such a name should be teaching a course in Criminology, among his other tasks. Yet, when anyone suggests this idea, he is apt to reply: "Well, where I came from it meant a shepherd's crook, not a racketeer." Wilfrid Crook was born in the damp and gloomy county of Lancashire, England, in the very heart of the cotton-spinning country, where the sun shines once a year . . . when it remembers. Before he was old enough to remember the difference he and his family moved to the English mid, lands, where coal, steel and smoke were the ruling industries. Even in his youthful days he had a lively interest in America. His father had visited the States during a world tour and had brought back a fasci, nating old guide book, illustrated in the Currier and Ives style with Indians, bisons and cowboys. This and the novels of the American Winston Churchill, Frank Norris and Owen Wister roused a desire to see the New World. Long before this desire was satisfied, however, Mr. Crook had decided on the ministry as a career We, the staff of the Bucknell Beacon, feel duly compensated for our feeble efforts in conducting a a poll of the student body in regard to world affairs and local news. The Roosevelt landslide and Hit, ler's plebiscite in the Saar had nothing on it. We feel justified in thinking that there's every indication that the combined sophomorons and freshman, iacs (behold the Beacon's originality!) have at least a grain of intelligence. To prove: they not only answered questions in the recent poll, but, nay more strangdy, answered them with a hint of intelligence. The voting came out somewhat as follows : the most widely publicized man and woman were The Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simp, son, with President Roosevelt running a close sec, ond to the Duke. A decided "No" was registered on the question "Would you be willing to fight for the U. S. on foreign soil?" Only 13 students voted "Yes." The most interesting book ever read was first, Gone with the Wind ; second, Magnificent Ob, session ... The Great Ziegfeld, and Romeo and Juliet were the "most artistic" film productions. Dr. Crook is the "most popular teacher" in the school, coming in just ahead of Dr. Tasker; this vote was very close. Jack Benny won out over the Lux Radio Theatre and the Hit Parade in the matter of favorite radio programs. The course on The History of Western Man, first; the World Literature course, second, in the vote on "What course did you derive the most benefit from?" Adolf Hitler was considered the man (Continued on Page 14) (Continued on Page 14) DR. WILFRID H. CROOK �'Two THE BUCKNELL BEACON JOURNALISM We have our Westbrook Peglers, our Walter Durantes, and our Margaret M~tchells who have eached the heights of journalistic endeavor.-On the other hand we have you, you, and you, who are gazing raptly upward toward these heights and who, undaunted by the warnings of the don't,ever, be,a-journalist-what-ever,you,do school of thought, continue to dream vague dreams of syndicated col, umns, "best sellers," and by-lines. Do you like to write? Sixty peoi:le out of a hu:i.dred will claim that they do. Can You Write? Forty of of the sixty will modestly admit that yes, they write rather well.-And in a few years ten of the forty, clutching th~ir diplomas, proudly flaunt, ing their newly acquired degrees, will bravely besiege editorial offices, publishing houses and advertising agencies shouting gaily, "Herc we are, you lucky people." Eventually the ten will be found plugging awav :is copy readers, as advertising compositors, as reporters insignificant, but happy because they are doing something they like. Possibly one of the ten will become a big man in journalistic fief ds--possibly not probably. If you harbor a romantic vision of yourself as the gal reporter who has just completed a successful round-the-world flight, or the columnist who knows everyone and who wears a slouch hat and trench coat-wake up. A cub-reporter can't afford a trench coat and gal reporters are an exceedingly rare phenomenom. To every spectacular figure in the writing profession, there are hundreds of men and women who must be satisfied with minor po· sitions. On the other hand, one must not lose sight of the vast possibilities in the field of journalism. Feature article writing, advertising, scenario writing, shortstory writing, reporting and newspaper management -are but a few. It is true that the use of syndi, cated news has done much to eliminate the need for feature writers on the small newspaper, but the moving picture industry and the magazines are al, ways eager for new talent. This statement may seem paradoxical in view of the fact that the attitude of the popular magazines toward new writers is not always encouraging. If the big-name periodicals don't appreciate your efforts, the pulps willat a cent a word! Once you get into print-that is, if you have a definitely individualized style-the popular Magazines will sit up and beg for your work. As for education-the journalist must have, in addition to his specialized training, as diversified and as complete a store of knowledge as he can possibly assimilate. He must have a large vocabulary, but, first, he must possess a unique and interesting style of writing. Flowery language does not nee- PLANS FOR DINNER DANCE COMPLETED All plans relative to the success of the annual Dinner Dance have been completed by the Social Activities Committee. A night of varied entertainent including prominent sp: akers, humorists, satirif.ts, and dramatists will endeavor to lift you into an atmosphere of sublimity or boredom. The list of speakers includes Dr. Eugene Farley, Joseph Gallagher, alter Thomas, Richard Roush, and Morris Re:shstein. Bud O'Halley, prominent Bucknellion, will act as toactmaster. The dinner will begin promptly at 6: 30 p. m. Music for dancing will be furnished by Ray Keating and his orchestra immediately after the conclusion of the dinner. Due to the unusually large demand for tickets, all reserva, tions must be made and all tickets bought by May 2 7. Since this is the last affair of the college year every attempt should be made to make it the most outstanding and one that will be long rememb, ered by Junior College students. FAREWELL SOPHOMORES! Since the sophomores will soon be leaving one another, they are naturally curious to know where they will b:! located next yi;ar. Although there are several who have not yet decided, we find that the majority are certain of their destinations. There are several who have decided to part from us; Betty Schlingman has chosen Talahassee in Florida; Marie Kopicki, Columbia University; Marjorie Phillips, Rider College; Robert Bohn, George Washington University; Phillip Mushowitz, N. Y. U; Leonard Rushin, Temple University; and Esther Warden and Frank Egarkt, Pennsylvania State College. We are happy to know that most of the class will continue at the campus. Among this group we find: Bill Atherholt, Edith Basta, Mary Ciesla, Ben Davis, Joe Donnelly, Jimmie Fritz, Joe Gallagher, Ann Griffiths, Marjorie Honeywell, Jack Hurley, Ralph Johnston, Melvin Kaminske, Sidney Levine, Donald McHugh, Fred Miller, William Ot, taviani, Leon Rokosz, Jack Saricks, George Sauer Walter Thomas, Huddy Morgan, Bideth Davies, Ed Davis and Dick Kasper. essarily mean clever writing. The day of rhapsodical descriptions and long and pointless tirades is past.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL During the past year the Student Council has attempted to bring about a more efficient student organization and a well rounded program of student act1v1t1es. In doing this the student C ouncil has been ably assisted by the Social Activities Committee and its most capable chairman, Andrew O'Malley. Due to unforseen difficulties, the budget of appropriations set up by the Council, turned out to be insufli.bent to cover the many activities. As a result more money, derived from the contingent fund, had to be appropriated to the various activities, namely bowling, the baseball team, the Rear row, l. ·to r.: John Lewis, representing the Freshman class; Joseph Gallagher, representing the Sophomore class; Ralph Johnston, representing debating ; Jack Saricks, representing the Beacon.

Beacon, the Social Activities Committee for the annual dinner dance, and for delegates to conventions at Bloomsburg and Lehigh. The greatest accomplishment of the Student Council was the setting up of a much needed Athletic Council which began to function immediately after its approval. The Council deemed it unnecessary to have the usual faculty advisors on the Council, though they have been a great help to the Council, since there will be a greater freedom of thought and action. The final accomplil!hment was the amending of the Constitution in an attempt to overcome the faults of the previous Constitution. �Four THE BUCKNELL BEACON MOST POPULAR GIRL MOST POPULAR BOY JOSEPH DONNELLY MEGAN B.

The reorganization was affected during th~ past summer by Dr. Crook and a few students who, though having little experience in the line of journalism, were willing to put every effort into such an undertaking.

Because of its unusual and snappy art:cles, its creative drawings, volcanic editorials, ancient and modern photographs of faculty memb-rs, its original poetry, and the fantastic interpretations of college life, the "Beacon" has turned out to be a most popular and interesting paper. But it would not be what it is except for the untiring efforts of Dr. Crook and Sidney Levine, not excluding the splendid cooperation of every member of the staff. The "Beacon" has been forced to subsist on an appropriation of thirty dollers an issue and has done splendidly on such an allowance. �Six THE BUCKNELL BEACON The Bucknell Beacon Published at Buc~nell University at Wil~es-Barre Tuni or College ·This issue of the Buc~nell Beacon is under th~ direct control of the staff, with• out auy supervision of the faculty.

W .t:DNESDAY, 1,f.)Ay 26, 1937 ETHICS We are going down into the garden to eat worms. Never have we been so thoroughly disillusioned and disgusted. It is a sad day when a college journal is forced to print an editorial on ETHICS. Perhaps we are not being tactful; perhaps the members of the Beacon staff should lick their wounds in silence-but the best way to get rid of a bad odor is to give it air. We have been told and we firmly believe that a college course serves three purposes; to aid the stu, dent in attaining culture, to prepare him for his career, and to teach him to be a good citizen. It is this last that we have to do. Is it ethical for one student to have seven or five or even two ballots in an election? Is it ethical to conduct an election in a highly disorganized manner? Who should have charge of the election? Who should collect and count the votes? Disin, terested persons who are not nominees for office! An outraged murmur issues from the Fresh, man class. They scowl. They vigorously deny such implications. Yes, of course-they are ashamed and humiliated for our classmates too. We are ashamed for ourselves who saw and who did not have the courage to interfere. WAKE UP AND LIVE The editors of the Beacon hope that a certain state of affairs, which has existed throughout this year, will be remedied next year. This is the tend, ency shown by the majority of the students to place the burden of managing the various organizations on a relatively small number of students. More ccoperation should be shown by the other members of the groups. The fact that a person does not happen to hold an office in the organization is no excuse for his being a back-slider and leaving practically all the work and responsibility on the shoulders of . those who have been elected to serve as officers. No officer and no organization can accomplish anything really worthwhile unless they are given the wholehearted backing of all the members. We, the editors of the Beacon, consider ourselves authorities on this subject. At times it has appeared that we would have to write the entire paper ourselves if we wished to put an issue out at all. We do not wish to cast any criticism on some of our reporters, who have cooperated very well with us, but we feel that the small number of our reporters handicapped us to some extent, because many times during the year these students were too busy with their other activities to help us with the paper. It is hoped that there will be many more reporters on next year's paper staff and that its editors will receive better support and encouagement from the student body than the departing editors have received. There is ample opportunity in the college for each student to take an active part in at least one organization. Too many of our studrnts in the past have deprived themselves of the enjoyment which comes to one when he has cooperated to his utmost in some endeavor and has had a part in making it a great success. We hope that the students who are planning to return next year will give a little consideration to this inauspicious but well meaning article and will try to b~ a greater asset to the college in the future, no matter how active they have been this year. ATHLETIC COUNCIL FUNCTIONS The Athletic Council has begun to function dur, ing the last month and has settled many important issues. It was decided that third year students be allowed to participate in any or all athletic events, providing they pay their student-activities fee; it was decided that the Athletic Council set up stand, ards and rules for the general conduct of and the making of awards to athletes.

Syphilis alone causes the death of fully 100,000 Americans every year. A half million new cases of syphilis occur every year. Millions of peo, ple are suffering from heart disorder, blindness, insanity, and many other afflications, and the origins of these ailments can, in many cases, be traced back to the social diseases. This is a nation which prides itself for its highly advanced civilization. Ironically enough, medical science has an effective method of prevention and cure of these diseases. Then why the wide, spread existence of these diseases and why their ever-increasing growth? The answers to these questions lie in the fact that there is a strong conviction among the supposedly cultivated people of this country that it is not proper to talk about or even obtain knowledge about the venereal diseases. The students in the category of these "nice" per, sons will no doubt criticize the Beacon editorial staff for this frank discussion and will condemn us as being immoral. But do not these students and the rest of the "proper" people, or better said "prudes," realize that it is th~ir taboo of the sub, ject which is preventing a wide disemination of the available knowledge concerning the prevention and remedying of these diseases? Do they not perceive that they, not the unfortunate diseased, are the real causators of the existence and shocking growth of these afflictions? It is difficult to believe that conditions exist where only one out of every ten stricken, receive proper medical treatment, and where many people are af, fected and should receive medical attention, but are quite ignorant of their infection. But according to medical men, such conditions do exist. and among thousands of people. Widespread propogation of information concern, ing the diseases is our only solution. In Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, there exists a governmental program of education in the nature of the diseases and the necessity for thorough treatment. Last year, these countries, which have a total population of about twelve and a half million reported less than 1600 cases of syphilis. England has obtained these same remarkable results with it educational program. Americans, fortunately, are beginning to awaken. Some of the leading newspapers, magazines, and radio stations are carrying out active campaigns to break down the "prim" attitudes toward the di, seases and to spread all available knowledge among the people. It's high time that we of the coming generations, college men and women, dropped our prudishness and rose to the support of this worth-while move- TO THE EDITORS OF THE BUCKNELL BEACON This is the closing month of our fourth year as a Wyoming Valley iostitution. Next fall will see us take a vital step in our history as the valley's college, as we move to our beautiful River Street site The University at Lewisburg has had faith in us and in our valley sufficient to establish the Junior College here and to bring here a permanent and resident faculty. Our students have made a fine showing both here at the Junior College and in the thirty-five or more four-year colleges and universities to which they have gone after their two years of college work here. Our present student body can do a splendid service to their Junior College and to their valley by personally securing the enrollment of promising high school graduates for our Freshman Class next fall. A few hours of real thought and enthusiasm on this matter by each student would start next year's work with a record enrollment. Is it too much to ask? -Wilfrid H. Crook EDITORIAL The Freshmen members of the Beacon staff relunctantly bid adieu to the Sophomore members who, with a zeal hitherto foreign to Sophomores, have done most of the work during the year. We look forward with mixed feelings of dread and ex, uberance to the issues when we, as Sophomores, shall shoulder the double burden of getting the Beacon to the printer and frantically warning the Freshmen that they have exactly one hour in which to write a five hundred word story. We can hardly wait! Just to prove that we have ambitious ideas for the future of the Beacon, we ( with a pleading eye in the general direction of the powers-that-be) hereby submit the following suggestions: 1. A bi-monthly Beacon-instead of the present monthly. 2. A system by which persons writing regularly for the Beacon might receive a quality-credit for their work. 3. A typewriter all our own in the press room. 4. MORE REPORTERS. ment. We must strive to learn as much as possible about the social diseases, and then we mut do our bet to spread this information among our various communities so that thie dark spectre of disease might be cured, prevented, and, finally wiped out forever. �Eight THE BUCKNELL BEACON High School Graduates Of The Valley Four years ago Bucknell University established its Junior College in Wyoming Valley to meet the urgent need for College education right here at home, during freshman and sophomore years. Next fall, through the generosity of Admiral and Mrs. Harold Stark and Mrs. John H. Conyngham, the Junior College will have a splendid permanent site on the River front . Within the past four years our students have transferred to no less than thirty-five other colleges and universities ·i n America and Great Britain. Many of our students are making brilliant records for themselves on the Bucknell campus at Lewisburg and in other colleges. THIS IS YOUR JUNIOR COLLEGE! WE BUCKNELL STUDENTS WELCOME YOU! Mayor Loveland Says: "Bucknell University, in offering two years of their curriculum in the Junior College, has brought to Wyoming Valley opportunities for developing youth . .. in which we have been woefully lacking.

C. A. House League, was awarded the prize for the highest individ.ual score made in a match game during the past season. His score of 252 set a new high for match games, and one which in all probability will stand for a long time. This honor was conferred · upon him at the annual clam bake held by the members of the House League. The Junior College congratulates Mr. Kaminski for this fine achievement and in all probability he will be awarded at the Annual Lettermen's Banquet. GIRLS ENTER BOWLING TOURNAMENT The latest innovation in the Junior College is the introduction of bowling in the girls' physical edu, cation program. The coach of the girls is Hank Peters, and the rooters are the pin boys. The team is composed of about fourteen girls, and the games are played only when one has a dime. The highest scorer to date is Mary Ciesla who prides her, self as having the three requisites of bowling, name, ly, the three w's-vim, vigor and vitality. Most of the girls bowl the big pins, but it seems that the petite Betty Tonks must stick to the little things in life---duck pins. Demetra Diamond, who takes three unusual swings before shooting, ranks second highest scorer, while yours truly is almost as good as Fritz. The tournament which was composed of both girl and boy bowlers, was held a few weeks ago. At press time the final results were not known.

A very interesting program has been arranged for the affair, including a number of speakers as well as an enjoyable musical program. The feature of the banquet will be the talk by the guest speaker of the evening, Prof. W. Austin Bishop of the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. John Gold, pop, ular ex-faculty advisor of athletics at the Junior College and now stationed at Lewisburg, will give one of his amusing talks. Coach Henry Peters will be given another chance to air his stupendous vo, cabulary. Walter Thomas and John Kasper will al, so give short talks. Dr. Roy C. Tasker, faculty ad, visor of athletics, will present awards to athletes deserving them. Andrew O'Malley, chairman of the Social Activities Committee, will act as toast, master. This affair long awaited by all Lettermen will be one which will be long remembered by all who att~nd, and it will surpass all previous attempts at banqueting. �Eleven THE BUCKNELL BEACON SPORTS Left to right in the picture are captains of the athletic teams: James May, ocl{. golf; Edward Davis, bas~etball; J a c ~ Saric~s, baseball; Wayne Gardner, swimming; and Leonard Rushin, bowling.

NO LONGER A "LABOR" QUESTION JAMES FRITZ The labor situation has reached a point wher" it affects every citizen. James Fritz first saw the world on September 21, 1920 in the little town of Sunbury, Pennsylvania. After traveling for some time, the Fritz family established its home in Nanticoke for a few years. Later a permanent abode was established in Hanover, Here, Jimmie began his school career, completing his first three grades in one year. Already it was apparent that the boy was precocious. In 1935, Fritz, ranking highest in his class, graduated from Hanover High SchooL As a result of competitive exams, that year, Fritz was awarded a State Schol, arship of $100 per year. Convinced by the arguments of his teachers that Chemical Engineering was quite the thing, he enrolled in this college in tl:ie fall of 1935. As a freshman James won the Prof. George Morris Phillips prize for the outstand, ing rank in freshman mathematics, and won much recognition as an "A" student for the whole year. The unlawful occupation of property by workers to enforce th'_ir demands, and the breakdown of our law enforcement agencies in protecting the property owner, is a new experienc in the United States. It is but one step removed from revolution, If o:1e class of citizens can disposses ,mother of th ~ uce of their property it is not a very far step to take over such property permanently. If workmen stop to think they will see that they are destroying their own safety and liberty when they foment revolutionary practices. Thoughtful persons who have the best intereest of workers at heart can only warn them against such tactics which in the long run will lose unless government stability 1s destroyed- then what? PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTlSERS Jimmie's favorite subjects are those dealing with chemistry and mathematics. As a member of the Beacon staff, he admits the authorship of some of the poems, but he feels rather ashamed of them. Jimmie is also a member of the Choral Club and of the now deceased Junior College orchestra. His two greatest ambitions are to graduate Summa Cum Laud~ and to play Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."

By a vote of 4 7 to 13 the student body showed their approval of the suggested constitutional amendments, while the proposal to raise the studentactivities fee was rejected by a close vote of 32 to 27.

Seven years of intensive training for his A. B. and A. M. at Oxford gave him his start in the Social Sciences, for he resolutely refused to spend his whole time studying Theology. Thus he sat at the feet of several famous lecturers, from England and from the States, among them L. T. Hobhouse, Sydney Webb, William James and Josiah Royce. Royce, the much-beloved Harvard philosopher, finding one day that his pupil knew nothing of the "Hunting of the Snark," ordered Crook to come to his room. There Royce proceeded to recite the whole poem! "Now!" cried the old philosopher, "go and buy a copy of your own." · The pursuit of the ministry, together with the aid of the Hibbert Scholarship, brought Mr. Crook to the States. With the sociologist's virus in his veins, he travelled to America in the steerage, and in the process, learned a good deal about human nature, both European and American. After Ellis Island, Harvard campus looked pretty good to him. Two years at Harvard in economics led on to an assistant-pastorship under Dr. Willard Sperry in Boston. (Dr. SpE:'rry is now Dean of the Harvard School of Theology) . Thl're Mr. Crook's chief task was to run a young people's forum, visit the sick and the aged and try (vainly) to restrain his economic and sociological enthusiasms outside the realm of the Church. Utimately the social sciences won. Mr. Crook returned to Harvard to complete his Ph. D. Varied teaching experiences at Simmons College, Bowdoin College and Bradford Junior College, mingled with much public speaking and literary work (journal, istic and otherwise) , finally landed Dr. Crook in the Wyoming Valley at our Junior College. Here he tackles anything from Social Institutions to La, bor Problems and has been known to pinchlhit in Political Science and Religion. For some ten years his "hobby" was collecting "dope" on the general strike . .. that labor weapon which has been used in every continent in the world. This search took him back three times to Europe and led him into the labor history of thir, teen different nations. The end product of all this effort was a veritable "tome" of over six hundred pages, published by the University of North Carolina Press, and other smaller articles in professional journals and in the new Encyclopa:dia of the Social Sciences. His present leisure time enjoyments consists of driving (and crabbing) a Ford car, tree-trimming in Maine, speaking to all kinds of forlorn organiza, tions, watching his son grow beyond the six-foot five-inch mark, and admiring his wife's efforts to who has done the most to undermine democracy; Mussolini was his companion. Personality, intelligence, sense of humor, ambi, tion, good looks, clothes sense, and good dancer in that order are the most desired qualities in the opposite sex. Betty Tonks and Joseph Donnelly shared the hon, ors as the most popular woman and man students with Bud O'Malley second to Joe. 'The Reader's Digest occupies most of the student's time as a favor, ite magazine; Life and 'Time were second and third. Walter Winchell led the pack of "favorite writers." Swimming is our favorite sport with football oc, cupying some of our time. Luise Rainer and Paul ~mi were the favorite actress and actor. Jesse Owens and Bob Feller shared honors as outstanding figures of the sports world. The students disagreed on the "most spectacular figure" in the world: votes were jointly given to Roosevelt and Hitler. Benny Goodman and Bing Crosby would combine their talents if the students had their way about it. Country Constable-"Pardon, Miss, but swim, ing is not allowed in the lake."

SPRING ('This Is the Second in the Series of Articles Deal, ing With the Lives of Our Faculty) Mr. Gage's ambition throughout his college career at the College of Wooster was to become either a banker or a Presbyterian minister. After witnessing what has happened to banks and bank, ers in recent decades he is naturally happy that a diversion occurred. An earlier boyhood desire to become professional pianist and musician was scotched by parents who mistrusted the supposed talents of their offspring. With the ministry in mind attention was paid in college to the classics and philosophy, both of which are still a joy and a delight . Professor Rowe encouraged the old desire by attempting to mak'.! an organist out of Gage, but financial resources forbade. Professor Gould thought history might be the correct line, but did not get far with the suggestion. The one thing that neither Gage nor What is there so fascinating about that first breath of warm air and those golden rays of sun, shine which suddenly come after a dismal, cold winter? No one really knows definitely. We can only know that a glorious, exciting feeling comes to the hearts of both young and old, and the world is enveloped in a golden robe of splendor and youth instead of the solemn, monk-like gown of winter. It is in spring that the streets are filled with noisy boys and girls who shout and chase each other, perhaps merely to release themselves from the bounds of winter solitude. There is the rasping sound of roller skates, the noisy horns of bicycles, and the high-pitched voices of little girls who chant as they jump rope or play hop-scotch. There arc many who are experiencing their very first spring from the depths of a baby carriage, pushed by a proud young mother, or perhaps, in spite of the rejuvenation brought by the charming weather, some feeble old gentleman realizes that he is seeing his last spring, and he relives the joys and sorrows of the days gone by as he contentedly suns himself. Then of course, we cannot forget that old song (Continued on Page 6) (Continued on Pai?e 7) MR. DANIEL J. GAGE �Page 'Two THE BucKNBLL BEACON AESTHETIC DANCING CHEMICAL ENGINEERING It has been proposed by Dr. Farley that aesthet• ic dancing under the direction of a qualified danc, ing instructor (perhaps Hurley) be substituted for the regular gym. class of the Bucknell girls. As this is a question of vital importance to the girls of the freshman class, we, hereby, present a few of the opinions obtained upon the subject. Miss Balliet writes, "As the airplane lacks the grace of an eagle, or the submarine the mobility of a seal, so dancing without flexibility tends tu become machine like and expressionless. It is in view of this twentieth century tendency that the Junior College girls are planning to initiate a gym· nastic program which will include aesthetic dancing. The girls contend that they always were flexible, but now they are expressing a desire to submit to rules and laws-just an attempt to combine their supple and rhythmic grace with a kind of dignity. (May we, at this point, state that this is a wonder, ful paragraph to include in your term paper or1 •~Dancing" provided that Prof. Gage has not received a Beacon.) Miss Grushetsky has little to say on the subject, but y,,e feel safe jn · saying that if she wishes to follow in the. footsteps of Sonja Henie, aesthetic dancing would be just the thing. "I think the idea of replacing the gym periods with classes in aesthetic dancing is an excellent one. Interpretive dancing not only provides stimu lating exercise, but also aids in giving one grace and poise", contends Miss Shapiro. Miss Kirschner believes that aesthetic dancing will develop poise which, she claims, .is a prime · requisite for chann and personal appearance . . Miss Bendock is at present, deeply engrossed 111 thinking up a few puns upon the subject, so we shall leave her to her work. "Aesthetic dancing would be a decidediinprove· ment upon our present gym routine" adds Mtss Lynn. In conclusion may we humbly beg your forgive ness for what we have said and say, in unison, "We are for aesthetic dancing." ('This Is the Second in the Series of Articles Dea!, ing With the Various Professions) "Come and See Us: We Will Welcome You!" WILKES-BARRE BUSINESS COLLEGE, Inc. VICTOR LEE DODSON, President . One of the most interesting things about Chemical Engineering is the fact that most people have only the haziest notion of what a Chemical En, gineer is. Everyone knows what a drictor, teacher, or lawyer does, but the "man on the street" seems to associate the Chemical Engineer either with the man who sits at the controls of a locomotive or with the surveyor. The Chemical Engineer is neither of these. In general, he has a supervising position in some industry which depends on chemi·, cal processes; to name but two, the petroleum in, dustry and the steel industry. Specifically, the Chemical Engineer has one of several jobs. First, he may plan and design the chemical process involved; second, he may supervise the operation of such a process; third, he may do laboratory work in testing the product; fourth, he may conduct re, search with a view to improving the process. But who should prepare for chemical engineer, ing? Naturally, one of the first requisites for you, Mr. Prospective Chem Engineer, is that you like the job outlined above; besides that, you should have an interest in things pertaining to engineering generally, such as machinery, engines, and in buildings. Besides interest you must have some abilities. You should be able to handle mathematics, for it is vital in engineering; you sho11ld have in, terest and ability in physics and chemistry, since they are invaluable in practice. A very important factor is the ability to stand the ·~gaff', both in training and in practice. The course in Chemical Engineering is no "snap"; you must be prepared for long class and laboratory hours and to soft, pedal such pleasant luxuries as extra-cur:ricular ac, tivities and athletics, at times even to give them up altogether. In engineering practice you must be prepared to meet difficulties, to accept responsi, bilities, and in some cases, to undergo physical hardship. The engineer's position is not for him who desires only comfort. But what does engineering have to offer in return? First, opportunity in chemical engineering is very great. There is room every year for more Chem Engineers than there are graduates, and a capable student is almost certain of a job on grad, uation. Of course, such positions are not highly paid at first; in the past, however, the average en, gineer starts out at $1500-$2000 a year, and should be earning several times that after 10 or 15 years. Finally, the chemical engineering profession is new and growing; for the man who reaches the top it offers as much as does any other profession. - James Fritz �.THE BUCKNELL BEACON Page 'Three ( / ~ ~ JOHN SARICKS During his high school career John was as active as he now is at Bucknell Junior. In his Senior year at G. A. R. he was editor-in-chief of the "Blue And Gray", the school publication. He held offices in the Library Club, Student Council, and Ping Pong club. In his senior year he was president of the Student Council. He was also a member of the editorial staff of the 1935 edition of the Garchive, the annual school publication. He was also a let, terman in baseball and a member of the German club. The biggest moment of his high school career came on his last day at the G. A. R. when he spoke for the class of •3 5 at commencement exercises. During his two years at Bucknell Junior College he has kept up his excellent scholastic record. Last year he received a letter in baseball and this year he is captain of the team. He represents the Beacon on the Student Council and on the Luzerne County County Scholar., He is a member of the business staff of the Dramatic club. In his capacity as one of the editors-in-chief of the Beacon he has made noteworthy contributions to our school paper. John is one of the most likeable fellows in the college and especially liked by one of our fair co-eds. He expects to continue his education at Bucknell University. JOSEPH DONNELLY Joseph Donnelly was graduated from Meyers High School in 1935. While a student at Meyers he was active in extra-curricular activities, being especially interested in the Camera Club, German Club, and Glee Club. Since coming to Bucknell Junior College he has been not only 'tops' scholastically, but has been active in dramatics as well. He has portrayed effectively all sorts of roles, from a Don Juan to a villain. This year he is president of the German Club, president of the Thespians, treasurer of the Choral Club associate editor of the Beacon, and a member of the Student Council. His favorite sports are hiking and swimming. He has toured the country far? and wide but only through the medium of his relatives. Joe is well liked by everyone in the Junior College and espec, ially by certain members of the fair sex. He is as talkative as the Sphinx, but everything he says carries a sigruficant meaning with it. Joe also intends to pursue his degree at Bucknell University. Watch and Jewelry Repairing EDWAKO B.

THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1937 LOOKING FORWARD The Freshmen class can now look forward to a truly fine college, one in which all their interests and fond affections may be centered. The Chase and Conyngham homes are only the beginnings of a laraer and better Junior College which the entire Wyo~ing Valley can be justly proud of. But in looking forward to such a. Junior College, many aspects of College life must not be overlooked. For instance, the girls are looking forward to the for, mation of swimming and bowling teams, not to mention aesthetic dancing; our athletic minded young men are hoping that those in charge will provide the much needed athletic room where those students may meet and discuss their problems, as well as to use the same room to store equipment; the staff of the Beacon looks forward to a room which they may call their own; and last, but not least, the entire student body is looking forward to the establishment of the proposed auditorium. The present Sophomore class, in looking forward, sincerely hopes that those succeeding them will carry on the high ideals and aspirations which have been built up in the past so that you can say, "Bucknell University Junior College is going for, ward". ACTION OR APATHY The world today is in a turmoil. The black clouds of war hang impending over our heads. Economic ills threaten our very subsistance. Cal, amitous political and social_ upheavals are in flag, rant evidence throughout tlie world. No group is more cognizant of these conditions than youth. We all realize that if war comes, ~e will be the ones who will be called upon to give up our lives. It is we that the spectre of un~mployment stares in the face. We _of the c~mmg generation will be the ones who will be subJected to the insidious designs of dictatorial suppressors of democracy. Yes! We youth comprehend our predicament. The question is: What are we going to do about it? If one were to judge youth by those who make up the student body of Bucknell Junior Col~ege, the answer to this question would be very definitely --Nothing! ! ! ! It is positively depressing to perceive the abso, lute impassive, indifferent, uninterested attitude that the students here take to the problems of youth. Dormancy reigns! ! ! Our difficulties provoke and upset us. It is so soothing to completely disregard our perplexities and bury ourselves in apathy. Fortunately, the students of Bucknell College do not exemplify the true youth of ~erica. T~ere are many millions of young people m the Umted States today who are meeting their problems square in the face. They have joined such organizations as the American Youth Congress, Young Chris, tian's League, Student Unions, and a myriad of others. These millions know that there is strength in unity. They know that if ten million }'.OUths join together and decide that they are not gomg to war so that some blood-sucking exploiter can wax rich there won't be a war. If these many millions resoive that democracy is the best form of govern, ment, no dictator will ever gain power. . It is high time that the students of Bucknell Junior College discovered that youth has it in their power to solve their problems. Wit_hin the next month there will be ample opportumty for us to act. There is a convention of the Anthracite American Youth Congress • scheduled for May 22-23 in our own auditorium. We all know the aims and purposes of the American Youth Congress. It is our duty to participate in such a movement. Let us awake from our lethargy. We've slept long enough! ! , lr Sports Apparel Z1MM~RMAN .

B. C. to be held at Philadelphia on April 23 and 24. Teams representing Syracuse U ., the defending champions, St. Thomas, Harvard, Yale, Colgate, Penn State, the University of Pennsylvania, and Bloomsburg State Teachers College will also compete in this important Congress. Last year the average of the Syracuse team was 180, but due to the increased number of teams participating this year, this record is not likely to stand. The representatives of the Junior College have not as yet been chosen. Here's a good chance to start a collection of trophies. NEW BOOKS The Junior College has just subscribed to the "Readers Guide to Periodical Literature," including back numbers to 19 35. Since the library also has a list of all magazines subscribed to by the Osterhout Library, that means that you can make out your list of recent articles right here, and per, haps find the ones you want in our own magazine collection before making a special trip to the Oster, hout. Several new books deserve special mention. Ed, ward Levinson's "I Break Strikes, the Technique of Pearl L. Bergoff," the famous, or infamous, strikebreaker, is particularly timely in view of the recent strikes throughout the country. Three book3 present Roosevelt and the New Deal: Findley's "Half Way With Roosevelt," Desvernine's "Democratic Despotism," and Hugh-Jones's, "An Ameri, ca.n Experiment," the latter written from an Eng• lish point of view. A recent gift from a faculty member gives us Furnas's "The Next Hundred Years, the Unfinished ~usiness of Scienc·e," a clever and amusing and yet provocative survey of th~ world today and the world to come. A good deal of fiction has been added, too. Maugham's "Of Human Bondage,•• which one of the Osterhout librarians has read three times and still considers her tavorite book; Galsworthy's "For, syte Saga," which the same librarian ranks a close second; Bennett's "Old Wive's Tale"; several of Thomas Hardy's novels; Conrad's "Lord Jim"; Mel, ville's famous whale story, "Moby Dick"; and Fielding's masterpieces, "Tom Jones" and "Joseph Andrews." And there are others, too long a list to give in full. Why not do a bit of browsing in the college library and see what you can discover? PROF. W. AUSTIN BISHOP The Lettermen's Club plans to hold their annual banquet on May 29 at a place to be announced later. The Lettermen have been fortunate in obtaining as guest speaker Austin Bishop, formerly wrestling coach at Wyoming Seminary and recently wrestling coach at the University of Pennsylvania and U. S. Olympic official. Mr. Bishop is well known throughout the Valley not only for his ability as a wrestling coach, but also for what he has done in the interest of the local Y. M. C. A. Is it also the hope of the Lettermen that Mr. John S. Gold, formerly director of athletics at the Junior College and now holding a prominent position at Bucknell University, will attend this affair. At the banquet awards will be made to those who have participated in basket-ball, swimming, baseball, and bowling. Those who attend will be assured of a most profitable evening.

The Great War came, and democracy called. Within a few days after graduation Gage was inducted into the national army in advance of his numbered call, and after training at Camp Sherman he reached England on September 17, 1918. No action was engaged in, but the 13 months abroad greatly stimulated and excited the imagination, built up a body of unforgettable experience, and created an undying. and dominating interest in current political developments over the world. After junketing about France, Gage was sent with the Army of Occupation to see that all went well in the Rhine Province while Mr. Wilson kept things in line at Paris. Professor Wallace Notestein of the University of Minnesota was with Mr. Wilson's Peace Commission, and he sent an offer of a scholarship at Minnesota which might enable Gage to pursue historical studies at that University upon his return. But the spectre of debts incurred in college led to refusal of the offer, and Gage returned to the United States on Decoration Day to look for a job. Mirable dictu, he found a High School teaching position, which he held for two years, teaching Latin and History to earn enough to pay the debts. Prof. Jonas 0. Notestein, father of Wallace, found a vacancy in a small college of the middle west, and located Gage in it as an instructor in History. The prairies held him for ten years, in-. eluding a leave of absence for advanced study at Wisconsin where a Master's degree in History was earned under Prof. F. L. Paxson. In due time it was urgent to decide either to re, main in the teaching profession, or to abandon it. The decision to remain required further preparation, which was undertaken at Leland Stanford . Junior, University. There Gage's new interest, th; Far East, was studied under Prof. Payson J. Treat, for whom he is now preparing a dissertation. When the depression depleted financial resources to far below the vanishing point, Gage sought employment at Bucknell University. What time the COURAGE A farmer spilled some whiskey on his barn floor, so that a little stream of it ran out. A certain mouse sallied forth from his hole and being thirsty took a sip. It tasted strange and he went back in his hole and thought. Then he came out and took another big drink. Then he jumped up on the edge of the soap box and stood up on his hind legs, bristled up his whiskers, _and exclaimed, "Now bring out that damned 'cat". Bucknell · students (and his most recent hobby, Jane) will allow him, he spends upon the disserta, tion. With all that inspiration it ought to be a masterpiece! Meantime, an interest in world conditions in general led to travel to whatever spots on the world's surface seemed "hottest" at the moment when money was available for reaching those places. Jo Europe in 1924; to China and Japan and Manchuria in 1928; to Mexico in 1929; Gage .w ent, with the American Seminars of Sherwood • Eddy, Upton Close, and Hubert Herring. There he com• bined observation and pleasure with study and ~onr tacts with persons and events of signi~cance at the time. Gould and Notestein were right. Teaching, and history, were destined to supersede music, the church, and banking as the correct line to follow. Music, and world conditions generally, and also philosophy and the classics, yet remain strong in Gage's affections. But marriage and family-ah, there he has found that for which he doubtless most longed all the timt. Therein is contentment, the wholly desirable supplement to the career of learn: ing and service that the academic world affords: ALUMNI NEWS The students at Lewisburg will present "Craig's Wife" on May-Day week-end, and once again for, mer Junior College students will be active. · Irma Hewitt and Joseph Salsburg, veterans in Bucknell dramatics, will have leading roles.

The streets are thronged with idle couples who stroll along, arm in arm, laughing and talk, ing as they gaze into shop windows, particularly those of the jewelry shops. To many, spring brings plans for the coming summer. The young country boy has visions of days spent along a shady stream with his hook and line, or long trips to the woods, and last but not so interesting, spring planting. In the good old days spring meant that the an, nual torture was on hand.

The play was first given April 19, 1926 in the Longacre Theatre, New York City, with Ernest Truex and Laura Hope Crews in the leading roles. "Pomeroy's Past" concerns the trials of Pomeroy Chilton (Joseph Donnelly) when he decides to adopt an orphan against his sister Amanda's (Betty Fenton's) will. His friend, Edward Marsh: (Ralph Johnson), has done the same thing without serious objection from his fiancee (Betty Tonks). But when Pomeroy claims that the child really belongs to him, complications develop. Amanda's maid (Ilaria Sterniuk) says the child is her own and futher trouble develops. Elizabeth Davies and ?tanley Daugert provide some rollicking, fast moving comedy and aid considerably in bringing a sur, prising and unexpected conclusion. THE WAY IT BEGAN According to the story, widely believed through, out Islam, a dog approached Allah while the latter was engaged in the construction of Eve, and seiz, ing the rib which the Almighty had just taken from Adam's side ran off with it. Allah, it is said, followed in hot pursuit and managed to grasp the tail, which the dog had neglected to tuck away. The tail remained in Allah's hands, the dog escaping with the rib. Allah thereupon utiliz~ ed the dog's tail instead of Adam's rib for the construction of the mother of mankind, and it is owing to this, according to the Arabs, that woman is just as incapable of remaining quiet and motionless for two minutes as is the tail of the dog.

One of the best orchestras in this section, namely Ralph Paul's, has been engaged for this most important affair. Because of the ever-increasing demand for tickets, Bud O'Malley, chairman of the Social Activities Committee has devised an excellent plan to take care of this demand. In order to be assured of gaining admittance to the dance, one must obtain an invitation. Invitations may be secured for stu, dents and their friends by getting in touch with Bud O'Malley. Even though the previous dances have been ou~standing successes, there can be no doubt that this dance will surpass by far any previous undertaking. No stones have been left unturned by either Bud O'Malley or the Choral Club in making this the outstanding social event of the year. · The dance is a semi-formal affair and will be held on Tuesday, March 30. There will be dancing from 9 till 1. Admission will be by invitation only. CRITICISM OF CRITICS A few weeks ago a representative body of our Coming to the Junior College in September, 1934, Dr. Roy C. Tasker started the work of the Biology Department. He has shown a keen interest in student life both in his classes and in extracurricular activities where he has mingled with the students in such capacities as class advisor, chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Activities, Faculty Director of Athletics and member of the Premedical club. It is rumored that he was a member of the faculty cast of "Spreading the News" that won first choice in a play contest with two student groups two years ago! As an undergraduate at Hillsdale College he majored in Biology and was Undergraduate Assis, tant in the Department. As Business Manager and students was asked to voice its opinions in regard to the Bucknell Beacon. As everyone probably knows by now the outcome was devastating, to say the least. So severe was the criticism that if the editors were more sensitive than they are, their ears would have turned as red as the name of one of our students. (We beg Mr. Sgarlet's pardon and trust that our worthy critics will pardon this feeble attempt at humor, but it is only another ex, ample of what happens when one tries to please one's critics.) Now that the students have had their say concerning the matter, the editors of the Beacon would like to express a few thoughts about things in general, and critics in particular. The majority of our students seem to have made the mistake of trying to compare our paper with other college publications. How foolish this is! It has never been our intention to put out a paper which could compete with journals published by in, stitutions which are hundreds of times as large as ours. We just don't have the facilities, my dears. We spend about one-tenth as much money on an (Continued on Page 6) (Continued on Page 6) DR. ROY C.

REMEMBER EASTER DANCE-MARCH 30 LAW AS A PROFESSION BY LEON ROKOSZ In an attempt to impart to our students some helpful information, the Buc~neH Beacon will publish a series of articles dis, cussing the advisability of choosing the various professions as their !ife wor~. These articles be written by persons who are planning to enter these lines of endeavor after their college careers. Because more than one-half of our statesmen, presidents, and other important public characters have won their lofty positions through the study of Law, the legal profession is looked upon as the leader of all professions, offering the best possible opportunities for local, state, and national cognizance and fame. The successful lawyer is universally acclaimed and respected. His calling is an honorable one. Are you planning to study law? If you are not, perhaps you should be. If you are, do you think that you should? The desire to become a lawyer is, of course, the first requisite. Unless you _are absolutely certain that you want to be a lawyer, Law is not your field. The student most likely to become a good lawyer must have a desire so great that he cannot be dis, couraged by ; ordinary discouragements, so strong that nothing'~.f,ut force of circumstance can keep him from so desiring. But the desire means nothing in itself. There are other thin~s far more essential to the study of Law. The successful lawyer must have a peculiar mindthe kind that Nature · bestows upon Her children only occasionally. He must be able to reason with a pronounced power of analysis. His mind, as well as his body, must be able to withstand the endless study that his profession requires and demands, not occasionally, but at all times. The successful law, yer finds rest only when his work is done. Nights mean nothing to him. He works alone with un, wavering fervor, for his oroblems deal with the fortunes, the· happiness, perhaps even the very lives of trustful, anxious clients. If you are planning to study and practice Law, plan at the same time to become a good lawyer or none at all. To those who feel that Law is their goal, yet hesitate because the field is too crowded, may I give my humble encouragement. Yes, tne supply · of lawyers, even good lawyers, exceeds the demand. In · New York City alone there is an ap, proximate ratio of one lawyer to every 300 persons-20,000 lawyers in all. But along with those lawyers we may find even ·more complaints that there are too many poorly equipped lawyers, not enough good ones. There is room-plenty of wiH (Continued on Page 7) �THI:! BUCKNELL BEACON Page Three CHORAL CLUB ACTIVE P. A. C . S. CONVENTION A convention of college students was held at Le, high University on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 12, 13 and 14. Helen Morgan, Marjorie Shapiro, Joseph Donnelly and Stanley Daugert represented the Junior College. Friday evening Miss Margaret Taylor of the International House in New York City spoke on the standards of living in foreign countries and the ef, feet they have upon the life and opportunities of college students in those countries. Miss Taylor emphasized the fact that we must have an under, standing of conditions in various countries before students can meet on a common basis. This, however, would take time.

The Choral Club is unique in more than one way. It is composed of three parts, soprano, alto, and bass. This is rather unusual. Most mixed choruses have four parts, but because of the lack of tenors, the chorus has resorted to three part music. Of course the men have a little difficulty now and then, but if women can tal~ circles around them, heavens knows, what the females will do to them when they (the females) begin to yell! All of the selections are sung a capella, that is, without accompaniment. Very few college groups are doing\.vork of this kind, which shows that Mr. Clark has great faith in his group to let them tackle such an undertaking. · ·· · The Chorus is planning a trip to the Campus in April to sing at one of the Sunday afternoon con, certs. A · schedule is being planned for the Choral Club to perform in different places in this vicinity. The Bucknell chorus has ·a great future at out Junior College ·and it is to be hoped that this type· of activity will be fostered in the future. �Page Four THE BUCKNl!LL BEACON The Bucknell Beacon Published at Buc~nell Uni1.•ersity Junior College at \Vil~es•Barre This issue of the Buc~ntll Beacon i.1 u11der tl1e direct control of the .1taff. with• out any supervision of the faculty. 1.:DITORS•IN•CHIEI' ]olm Saric~s.

In fact, when anyone mentions war, we glower impressively, shake our heads sagely, and say something about the power of propaganda, the horrors of war, and the need for a neutral policy in world affairs today. _This is all very well, but what the Cause for Peace needs is concerted action. Nothing ever has been accomplished and nothing ever will be accomplished by vague and sad expressions to .portray disapproval and even more vague and sadder threats to "do something about it:• Definitely something must he done. It is for us, the youth of today, to accomplish this "something." First, we must educate ourselves for Peace-so that we will be able to distinguish propaganda from truth, individual greed and ambition from a national policy which is basically humanitarian. It is neccs• sary to know, for instance, whether one is fighting in order to make the world safe for democracy or to enrich a few armament manufacturers. We modern:1 like to pride ourselves upon our so-called sophistication and our cynicism. Let us be cynical about war. Let us question its right to exist; let us look askance at militaristic policies and ideas. We, the students of Bucknell Junior College, have cause to be ashamed when the cause for peace is mentioned. Last fall there was a Peace parade, the first of its kind in Wilkes-Barre. We were civcn ample opportunity to participate, but not one ;>f us responded to the call. Instead of actively demonstrating our sympathy with the peace move• ment, we stood placidly by and admired the floats as they passed in review. Then we forgot all about tnc matter. On April 22 students all over the country will stage what is known as a Peace Strike. We do not sug!,(est that the students of B. U. J. C. adopt a militam.y pacifistic attitude, but we do suggest that a part of this clay be devoted to the discussion of peace prubi~u1s ,u,J tu participaticr. in a p:l~cle (if one is held) . Are the students of Bucknell Junior College to stand idly by AGAIN or are we all willing to champion this vital cause, World Peace! OUR ATHT.ETIC FUTURE If the records of the swimming and basketball teams were able to speak for themselves, hardly .a whisper could be heard. As a result of the shortsighted policy of this college, the athletic teams as well as those in charge of the · athletic program have hrought condemnation down upon them. • How is one man supposed to coach a basketball team, a haschall team, a tennis team, and run a successful intra-mural program? Instead of dividing the bur· den between at least two men so as to make a more successful program, this college has gone along feeling that everything is well in hand. Has the college ever really tried to get good athletes of high scholastic standing to enter the Junior Col• lege? Perhaps a little foresight on the part of those in 1:harge of the athletic program ,._,ill hrinj? the de· sired results for the future, or do they want to continue as in the past. I am not attempting to cri• tici::e Mr. Peters, for I am quite sure that he has clone his part in attempting to bring about a suc• cessful intra-mural program and successful athletic teams. This criticism is directed against those in charge of the whole athletic policy. . Letter To The Editor: What has happened to the Commerce and Finance Club and the Social Science Club? As I recall, there were only two meetings, one held by each club, which meetings were held months back. Since then these clubs have shown no sign of act:vity. Is it the fault of the sponsor or the officers of these organi:ations? It seems to me that the officers of th'!se clubs have been elected just as a matter of formality and there was no intention of rr:aking these clubs outstanding in their field. -A C. and F. student . �Page Five THI!

CRITICISM OF CRITICS (Continued fro,n Page I) (Continued from Pt1ge 1) Editor,in-Chief of his college paper in his junior and senior years, as President of the Student Coun, cit, President of the Y. M. C. A., an<l of the Student Volunteer Association, and in his senior year as President of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Ac:sociatic-!, he took an active part in student :iffairs. Upon graduation he att.:ncicu du.: Ui,/,·.:::::t;· ,:,f Michigan as a Teaching Fellow an<l received the Master's degree. Then after three years of teaching Biologr at DePauw University he went to China where his .experience of thrce and one-half years at Yenching University and at Soochow University gave him personai iuk,:.:;;t ir:. the Far F,:i5t. At Cornell Univer~ity, to which institution h.: went upon his return from China, Dr. Tasker was granted the Schuyler Fellowship in Animal Biology. He held this scholarship for two years, after which he was appointed Instructor in the Department of Zoology. It was from this position that he came to the Junior College. From Cornell he also received his Doctor of Philosophy degree. The honorary .;ocietics of Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Xi claim him as a member. He also belongs to the American Association of Zoologists, the · American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Indiana Academy of Science, the American Association of University Professors, and is a charter member of the Pl·king Society of Nat• ural History. If encouraged Dr. Tasker mar be persuaded at · times to discuss hi:i experience.; in caring for the wounded Chine..~ ~kliers in the battles around Peking, of excursions into the famous W cstern Hills, beyond the Imperial Summer Palaces near Peking, of visits to the Great Wall of China, of the civil war around Soochow and the midnight evacu, issue as the editors of publications in larger colleges. If our critics can tell us how we can im, prove our paper ,vithout additional expenditures so that it will be on a par with these other col, lege papers, wl-iy in the world don't they enlighten us instead of attempting to tear onr humble Beacon to pieces by means of their criticism? Manv of our honorable critics are of the opinion that our paper is not bem:1· t1,;.r. :~:: ~•-"'r:i~e hil!h school publication, although most of them will con· cede that some of our articles are slightly better written than those coming from the pens of high school students. Now, my friends, what more can you expect? Even the average high school paper is permitted t-, 5p.:.1d :r.~r~ money per issue than the Beacon. · Having helped edit a high school paper in his younger <lays, the writer should have a slight know!'. edge concerning such m:.tters. Also, high school students arc able to gi\'C more time and take more pains in putting out a paper than the Beacon editors. Our complicated schedules often make it im• possible for the entire editorial group to meet at one time. If our readers will glance at our mast, head, they will see that our staff is composed of students who take active parts in practically all the other organi:ations in the college. These other ac· tivities also demand some of their time, as do their studies, which must not be overlooked entirely although some of our students show a tendency to <lo so. \Ve assure our critics that our editors have an abundance of talents, but are handicapped by a scarcity of time. In c-nndusfon, allow the editors to compliment their critics on the manv humorous and satirical comments which their written opinions contained. So \"-itty w~re scme of the remarks and so biting was some of the sarcasm that we cannot help laughing ourselves. It seems a shame to us, how· e\'er, that we have to ask for criticism of our paper in order to discover the literary talents latent ·in certain members of our student body. How much hctter it would 1-e if these students would utilize their talents in trying to help us improve our paper instead of in criti::ing it.

CONVENTION LAW AS A PROFESSION ( Continued from Page 3) (Continued from Page 2) Saturday morning Helen Morgan of the Junior College led a question box discussion, as did David Weddel of Penn State. Some of the questions discussed were: The powers of the Student Council, student-faculty relationship, freedom of the college newspaper, conduct in the social rooms, and finally the place of a course in hygienic education in the college. Saturday afternoon there was a business meeting at which James Bergen of Lehigh was elected president, and Helen Morgan of the Junior Co0ege, Secretary. There was also a discussion of peace problems and a continuation of the discussion of student-faculty relationships. Saturday evening a formal dinner was held at the Sun Inn at Bethlehem, and later a dance at Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house. At the dinner, speeches were given by the dean of tehigh University as well as the newly elected president of the room, but only at the top. The top never has been, and never will be crowded in Law or in anything else. To be a lawyer, and to be a successful lawyer today, you must look toward the top. Remember, the lawyer at the top is at the very apex of emi• nence. The lawyer at the middle of the ladder of success receives only slight recognition. The lawyer at the bottom is the laughing stock of his friends -if he has any. There is no other profession which offers so much and, at the same time, so little in the way of prominence and fame. Happily, or unfortunately, lawyers, like everybody else, in the end get only what they deserve. · P.A. C. S.

The editors of the Beacon would like to take this opportunity to express the gratitude and appreciation which the stu, dent body and faculty feel in receiving such fine: donations and to consider briefly the manifold im, provements and pOJSibilities. which these gifts open up for the Junior College.

The Chase home and the Conyngham residence will furnish Junior College students with many ad, vantages which they have not had up to now. These estates will provide the much needed space and facilities which have become e.,sential if the Junior College is to continue to offer the students of this vicinity the equivalent of two years training in other colleges. No longer will conscientious professors be disturbed by the comtant hum of central city traffic. At last Engineering students will have their long sought laboratories, well-equipped and large enough to offer them free range in the development of their . talents.

It is a handsome gift which he has made to that institutmn in turning uvcr to it a desirable property on South Ri".cr Street, in the first instanc_c the residence of th" l.iLc Prell M. Chase and his wife, who w ,1.; Mi~3 Eleanore Stark, a ~istrr of Ad, m:ral Stark. It is as a memorial to Mr. anc.l Mrs. Chase that the property is being given to the college. Possession and occupancy of a home of it5 own will give that developing institution added stature in the ed, ucatio:-::i! '.':0r!d ~nrf alsn will give the community a new Jensc of the Junior Col!ei:c's permanency. Tender of the Chasi.: house must be acccptoo as an inspiring act of faith in the Junior C:ollcgc's destiny. In the few years of its existence this institution has made noteworthy progreJS. With a few more friends like Rear Admiral Stark it soon would be taking long strides in the . direction of becoming the most important establishment of its kind in the nation. BUCKNELL'S GOOD FORTUNE (Reprinted by permission from the Wilke■ •Barre Record, Feb. 22, 1937.) When it was established four years ago, Bucknell Junior College wa~ necessarily an experiment. From the outset, however, it enlisted community confidence and attracted a substantial student bodv. Its fortunes were followed with friendly interest by influential citizens. Two friends of the college have come forward, in recent days, with imposing gifts of realty, the use of which will place the Junior ·College on an entirely new plane of importance. By acquiring possession, through the acts of generous donors, of two such splendidly situated and handsomrly appointed buildings as the Cha3e home and the John N. Conyngham home on South River Street, the college finds it possible to house its activities in a physical plant of which the trus, tees, faculty and studcnt3 may well be proud. In presenting the two palatial homes to the college, Mrs. Bertha Rohinron Conyngham ~nd Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark have made possible a much more rapid development of the instit11tion than otherwise would have been possible. They have contributed in · a permanent way to the educa, tional and cultural resource.; of the community. They have conferred benefits not only upon the college but upon a host of young men and young women who in the future will pursue their studies BucoN GIFT TO LIBRARY Mr. Herbert S. Lloyd, loyal alumnus of Bucknell am! cnthUJiastic supporter of the Junior College,' has given to the Junior College library a valu~ble collection of books. Important among them 1s a bound, ten-volume set of "Current History" covering the entire period of the European War. These arc invaluable tu Lhc student of history and at the present time are difficult to purchase. Likewise important is the five volume edition of Monroe's "Cyclopedia of Education," the best available cyclo, peciia of education in English. Other lvmh included in the gift arc: Abbott, W.

We believe that neither Mrs. Conyngham nor Admiral Stark would relish panegyrics for what they have done. But, at least, they deserve l.uting . honor for practicing a form of philanthrophy whicJ/ is at once practical; immediately beneficial to many persons, and enduring. Y. M. C. A.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1937 PUBLIC SERVICE-A FlITURE? College students, when in the process of viewing the field of prospective vocations, should not over, look public iervice. The advance of technology and the new tendency in the U. S. Government to take a greater part in the administration of Industry and General Welfare has brought ab,out a growing need for public servants. The government is looking more and more to the universities and colleges for the supply to these de, mands. There no longer exist the beliefs that anyone can fill the qualifications for government service or that educated men are dangerous to democracy. Well educated and trained men are very definitely in demand. In the past public service hasn't attracted col, lege student, because of the evil of the "Spoils" or "Pull" system. Unfortunately, the "Spoils" system still exists to a great extent. However, two facts give encouragement to the college student of today that public service is something worth striving for. They are, first, the rapid advances that Civil Service has made in the last few decades, and, second, the promise to strengthen Civil Service which has emanated from the present administration at Wash, ington. As for the training of the undergraduate aspiring for public service, most educators believe that a broad and general education is most beneficial. However, it is recommended that included among the general courses taken should be subjects to,.1ching on structure of government, government "tools," economic and social trends, and problems in government. To the student desiring more knowledge concerning public service and its training, two pamphlets are recommended. "Training For Public Service," publfahed by the Public Administration Servke of Chicago, Ill., and "Our Government-For Spoils or Service?"-a publication of the Public Affairs Pamphlets. Both can be obtained from Dr. Crook. ASSEMBLY-STUDENT OPINION I would say that the enforced regulation fa the fault of the students themselves. Allowed to stand on their own, some have taken advantage of the privilege of attending chapel as one wishes, while still others have failed to state their reawns for ab, sence, and, as a result, a high school regulition has been adopted. Compulsory chapel attendance would be eliminated if a student vote were taken for a suitable chapel hour, if chapel programs were var, ied, and if student, would realize that chapel attendance is a part of a college education. -Ilaria Sterniuk. The purpose of the assembly is to broaden the minds of the students and to give them a wider range of knowledge by bringing before them a variety of views on diversified subjects. College undergraduate3 should appreciate this enough to attend assembly without being compelled to do so. -Charles F. Millard. I think that compulsory attendance at assembly is fine for high school students but not for those who have reached the age where they attend col, lege. The programs are very interesting but lose some of their attractiveness because of the neces, sity of attending. -Marjorie Honeywell. It seems to me that the programs presented in chapel can be made more effective and interesting if there were an elimination of the remarks concerning the speaker, after he had finished. A program presented in chapel can be just as enjoyable without any final comments by the chairman. We must all remember that a twelve o'clock class stans at that time and not ten or fifteen minutes later. Ten minutes' lateness may not be much in it3elf, but just multiply that by the number of chapel periods and the result will be surprising. ~Benjamin S. Davis. �THE BUCKNELL BEACON THESPIANS GO WILDE The Bucknell Thespians have started the year with a bang. Their first presentation of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," was well received by large audiences at both perform• ances. Joseph Donnelly, as John Worthing, portrayed the role of a typical country gentleman with excep, tional ability. Betty Tonks, as Cecily Cardew, looked and acted the part of a charming young English miss. Leo Simoson, as Algernon Montcrieff, portrayed the role of a man about town, with ea.,e. Betty Fenton and Stanley Daugert supplied the comedy effectively. Miss Fenton's interpretation of a strict old guardian ,was pleasing to watch. Gladys Grushetsky, as Lady Bracknell, seemed well at home in her role as the stern mother. Marion Clark, a., Gwendolyn Fairfax, played the role of a sophisticated young woman who had great difficulty in being alone.

Had the originality of the black and white settings any effect upon your appreciation of the play? Did you notice the heroic panels in the first act? Wasn't the garden scene outstanding? The entire setting of this play waa remarkably original. · Miss Sangiuliano and Miss Evans should be highly praised for their excellent idea. And last but not least Ernest Weisberger and Willard Warmkessel portrayed the roles of the family butlers. Their acting added a touch of finesse to the play. We are hoping that plays of this calibre will be presented in the future. DEBATING On Tuesday, March 16, the Bucknell Junior Col, lege affirmative debating team, consisting of Ralph Johnston and Donald McHugh, will engage a team representing Muhlenberg College in a debate on the resolution: "Resolved, that Congress be empow, ered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours for Industy."

Not only does the securing of these buildings mean that in the future Bucknell University Junior College -will be able to offer its students better facilities for their work, but it also means that the Junior College is now firmly establfahed in WilkesBarre. Prominently situated on one of the city's most beautiful thoroughfares its buildings cannot fail to attract the attentioR of many passers-by and visitors. Thfa, in turn, should lead to a much increased enrollment and a new era of prosperity for the institution.

Needless to say, Admiral H. R.

It is hoped that persons of responsibility will be chosen by students who ·.1,ill carefully form their own opinions as to the merits of the· c.litfcrent candidates. For a col· lege student to be influenced and carried along by the opinions and sentiments of others, rather than by his own judgments, is childish. Some part of his mental makeup fa as yet undeveloped. His mental capacity is much the same as when he, as a mere child, was forced to rely on the reasoning of his parents. Surely ak,r.g with ar. lncrca.;ing physical c.levclopment, there should be a correspond• ing mcnt:il development, yet when the matters such as class elections come up many students are con· trollcc.l by the juc.lgments of others.

Then invariably the question fol• lows: "If ther.:: is a war in Europe will America be drawn into it?" Many reasons will then be given why America will or will not enter. Accorc.ling to tradition America will enter the next war. Or \Vil! this b.: the exception to the rult·? If President Roosevelt's neutrality acts arc obeycc.l they will eliminate one reason for war. But the strongci;t urge still remains-that of sentiment. Either by hopes or by fears we shall be lined upon one side or the other, then we shall fail to be level headed an<l tiu; iuGvii.dL:t; wiU rwu!:.

There is little chance .that in our generation at least that America ,,.;11 be attacked by a European nationso it will be America who will wage war. Some• times we bccom.: quite bored by all discussioPs of war. It may seem remote now, but when it docs occur it will be more real to us than to any one else. It will be our generation who \\ill sacrifice and suffer. So let us ~how the nation through PUBLIC OPINION that we wish to keep our minds and bodies for the preservation of our ideals and not for their destruction. WHAT BUCKNELL NEEDS When app,oachcd concerning the question "What do ye u think about Bucknell University Junior r,oi:~!'c . it.~ building. and its facilities?'' the boys resrondccl with a wide variety of interesting opinions. Some offer helpful ~uggestions while others arc merely humorous, but all are distinctive. A member of the sophomore class and a promin• cnt debater in college, Leon Rokos::, has some very definite ideas concerning th(:: subject. He said, "A school is what you make it. As far as I am con• ccrned, th:; school building is only a shelter from the rain, snow, and sun. What goes on inside is an ~!together different matter. If there is anything wrong anywhere in the Junior College, why blame the builc.ling? Perhaps the persons complaining are the only things wrong with the school." · Edward Davis, captain of th basketeball team, regrets the fact that the school lacks a campus. He foe!~ !bt !h'.'

It provides a means of relaxation as well as a way to acquire the social graces which are necessary for a complete college education and a mark of good breeding. Until the new student government went into ef, feet in September, 1936, the Bucknell dances were sponsored and under the supervision of individual organizations within the college. . Now all dances are conducted by the Social Activities Committee of the college and they are held directly responsible for them. However, in order that a larger number of studen'ts may take part in arranging for the dances, organizations of the college may, with the approval of the Social Activities Committee, assist them in preparations for the dance. Dances during the past semester have had two new features previously untried at Bucknell, the serving of punch and the broadcasting of the music from the dance. - The largest dance ever associated with Bucknell Junior College was held Easter Monday, 1936, at the !rem Temple Country Club, and was span· sored by the choral club. Next largest was the Sen Baiu Christmas Dance in 19 35. Three dances are planned for the se.::ond semester of the current school year. These dances will be held on the nights of March 29, April 30, and the dinner dance June 2.

At a Drama Hour on Monday, December 7, the plays seen by this group were discussed hy the memhers. The Engineers' Cluh held a meeting on Friday evening, November 20, for the purpose of orgar.iza• · tion. E. Wayne Gardner was elertcd Chief En• gincrr, George Bciswinger Assistant Chief, . and Jn~erh Conlon Chirf nraft•m~n . After the husi• ness meeting Professor Hall entertained the duh with movies. The Choral Club, under the direction of Mr. Clark, sang at the First Baptist Church Sunday evening, December 6, in connection . with that church's observation of E<lueation Day. The pro· . gram consisted of three traditional Christmas carols, a chorus by Rac!.maninofT, and a Bach chorale. Miss Betty Fenton was soloist and Mr. Clark organist. On the following Sunday, December 13, the Club sang at the First Presbyterian Church on Franklin Street at the vesper service. The members of the cluh were guests at a reception which followed the CLASSROOM IDYLL The class, like sheep, followed the leader and settled themselves in the back row. The large lee• turc room with its empty chairs looks like the work of a gargantuan dentist. They gap foolishly and vacantly at the front of the room. The students take their mood from the chairs and vacantly stare at the instruclur. Separated from his students by an interminable reach of empty chairs, the instructor's voice echoes hollowly in a hall built to accommodate prosperity classes. Today he rx· plains the phenomenon of the business cycle, with its inevitable depression. No one stirs. His voice is of the soothing quality which induces sleep. Never varying in tone it flows on in an unceasing stream from somewhere in his mid-region. The students haw: assumed the various poses peculiar to college students who arc more bon:J than their age would warrant. A few ·faces stand out in the back row. A lean boy, one leg hooked over the chair in front of him, calmly thumbs a book, glancing up every now and then from under heavy brows at the prof. With an enigmatic shrug of his shoulder!! he returns to his book. His neigh· bor, one eyebrow rai~d. giving to his countenance a quizzical look, nudges him and whispers hoaiscly: "He's telling us! Heavens, we lived through it." Sl'.l'Vl~l'.. On Monday, December 7, the German Club met in the Women's Lounge. Plans were made fot a Christmas vacation party. The Pre-Medical Club held its first din:1er, at the Y.M.C.A., on Thursday, December 10. i.vfcmhers of the club gave short talks on the lives of men of outstanding interest in the medical world. It was decided that, with the approval of the Social Activities Committee, the Pre-Med. Club would spunsor Lhe Janee to be held at the Junior Collcgt: on the evening of February 12, 1937.

Dr. McDonald's view might be summed up in his openin!,( declaration, that "no one can h.: at the same time realistic and optimistic about the European situation... He first showed the failure of the: steps taken after the World War to prevent future wars. The provisions made for revising treaties have never been tried: collective security, on which most hope was based, ha~ failed mi~erably in rl.'Cl.'nt tcst5; di5· armament hopes have given way to the greatest armament race in history: the League is politically impotent. Dr. McDonald went on tu point out the alignments, so like the pre-war alliances, which are de, vcloping in Europe today, but scorned the idea of Europe split into Communistic and Fascistic nations. After this unhopcful heginning, he went on to show the forces for and against war. Among the former he put the fact that dictator~ must wage war to rule, the increasing regimentation of youth, the possibility of an "incident," and the inadequacy of lea<lers to strm a war•tide. On the cheerful side of the ledl!er he nut the uncertaintv of the attitudes of important Po~ers, the uncertainty of the nature of a future war, the uncertainty of a government'! surviving the stress of war, and, most important, the universal desire for peace on the part of the r.:oplc of the world.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, l'J~r, OUR FRIENDS THE CRITICS In a recent meeting uf the Public Speaking class some excellent addresses were delivered dealing with the Beacon and thC' Junior College. Their general tenor was distinctly critical, but with a con· structive attitude throughcut . As space permits in the present and forthcoming issues we shall print some of the most p.:rtincnt comments upon our• selves as a paper, and on our College as an cduca• Liunal institution. We hope that our readers will read such comments and in turn submit tr> our staff brief letters expressing their reactions to such criticism. ----- THE BUCKNELL BEACON (Brief excerpts from an address by James May· ock). The highest function of a College paper is tu add to education; to :,.::rve a~ ar. e::changc of opinions. It should contain stories which dcmonstrat.:: reflection, poems which show stmly of c-ollcge litera• turc, articles which reflect specialization . . . a, in the engineering courses. Our paper is >Jnequ.il to our degree of education and mentality. Th.: Beacon has nothing on the usual High School publication hccausc the material used is c~ntially the ~amc. The artist's portraits, however, arc sup.:rior to work don::: in most High School journals. The last is.,ue is appealing, I know, to many breezy style, jokes, portraits, lots of names. flut IkACON after you've finished r.:adinl? you don't find vour• self reflecting long over the material. The novelty nf the issue holds your attention but for a short while. The material used in such a publication would not be cunfi111:J to college news. It wmild avoi<l accounts of stale material. Thoughts on music, art, literature, the theatre, politics, economics and sports; hiographies and articles with punch, would feature. A samplr, i~suc :n:~ht cc:-:t::in as a frature e<litorial "Wyoming Valley Needs a Four-Year University" by Joe Brislin, "A Philosophy of Life'' by Hank Peters, " The Youth Congres.~ in Wyoming Valley" by Julia Levine, a complete character sketch of Dr. Tasker, Jij3 cxpcric:-:ccs in th., Rino•Japant>se up• rising and the work which brought him mention in the ~ 1ho's Who in America; a column on the outstanding movies running in Wilkes-Barre . .. I think such a publication would make our college raper more enjoyable and beneficial to us students. ---- EDITORS. THE BEACON. That intangible something called "good relationship" is only one of the things that have been missed in the Junior College this year. The Faculty has talked about co-operation ;is desirable. The students have longed for it, but such an end has not as yet been r.:achcd. To say the least many students have remarked concerning the sr.eming unwillingness of certain fac, ulty members to co-operate with them, not alone in the classroom, but in outside affairs as well. If these members· of the Faculty would meet the students half way, co-operation would be a fact instead of a pipe dream. -\V.T. Beacon Editors:Some students certainly have the wrong opinion ahout the members of our faculty. If the students of Buckne!l Junior Collq?c cooperated with them as well as the faculty cooperate with the students we might have that "intangihlc something called good relationship. Just because some students have pct grievar ·es against certain members of the faculty, they shouid not imply that our instructors fail to cooperate. Re, member, you may be the one who is not cooperating. -B. T. - --·------------------Watch and Jewelry Repairing EDWAHD B. LEWIS 49 Laning Building Wilkes-Barre, Pa. �Page Five THP.

VICTOR LEE DODSON, Pr&1ldent �Page Six THE BUCKNELL BEACON NEW BOOKS OF INTEREST Because our college library is comparatively small most of us are inclined to think that it contains books only for assigned readings. But if we glance over the shelves more carefully, we will find that it contains numerous books to be read for pleasure, for knowledge, and to broaden horizons. Let's se, lect a few titles. Thirty of our students are planning to be en, gineers. Certainly the book by C. C. Williams, "Building an Engineering Career" will interest them. It tells what personal traits an engineer needs, what kinds of jobs he may fill, what salaries may be expected, how he can plan his college course most wisely and effectively. Another new book in the library will especially interest the girls, Dorothy Nye's "New Bodies for Old," a book of exercises for refashioning the fig, ures. Here are a few of the chapter headings: "Hip, Hip, Away," "The Bridge of Sighs." Exer,, cises for the Feet," "Comment Vous Portez-vous?"How Do You Carry Yourself?" And by the way, did you know that the library has a copy of Emily Post's "Etiquette?" Amateur photographers, please notice! Turn to Neblette's "Photography, Its Principles and Prac- ... tice," for the solution to your photography prob, lems. There is a fascinating book on physics, illustrate<l with delightful drawings, which is guaranteed to be intelligible to the student who has never had a course in physics and to be interesting to the student who has had several. It is Lemon's "From Galileo to Cosmic Rays." Last but not least, all students of the social sciences should know that we have just purchased the report of President Hoover's Committee on So, cial Trends, "Recent Social Trends In The United States." In the New York Herald 'Tribune, Stuart Chase says about the book: "Never before, to my knowledge, have so many major problems of a given time in a given culture been brought together, weighed and documented with such precision and intelligence." -JC.

On inquiring into the matter, it was found that the source of this startling development was one Joseph Podrasky, a Sopho· more Chemical Engineer. This system, as it is so ably expounded by Mr. Podrasky, consists merely of reducing the naJI1e of the person to its first syllable, and then adding er. This sounds simple, but results are astounding. Boyle is changed to Boyler, Bohn to Bohner, Phillips to Philler, Romane to Romer, and Viglotti to Vigger. From mere names one gets words which <1.re euphonious, easily remembered and meaningful. In fact, the only drawback to the system is that it will not handle names such as Miller or Leather. But it is impossible in this short column, to at• cempt to describe the good such a striking innova• tion will do for us and for future generations. Let it suffice to beg all loyal Bucknellians to rally round the cause so that the dream may be fulfilled, which Mr. Podrasky expresses when he says: "I confi, dently expect that within ten years my system will be taught in every school in America."

The recital was especially for the members of the Music Culture class, but it was open to the public. The music was of the Romantic period, a,nd included compositions of Mendelssohn, Schumann, Cesar Franck, and Liszt. Mr. Clark deserves to be commended for an enjoyable performanci::.

Joseph Lord, another star of the Bucknell Junior College Players, is as• sistant director. One of the leading roles is being played by Elr.anor Scureman, whose work in "'Three Cornered Moon," last year's Spring Festival play. is still being favorably commented upon. Miss Scureman was president of the Junior College dra, matics society. Also in the cast a:e James Ramsey, fresh from the Junior College this year, and Am brose Saricks, a member of the pioneer freshman class at the Wilkes-Barre institution. Robert Ren• ville, another of this year's batch from the Junior Cc.liege, is head of the publicity department for the r,lay. Dora Elleni and Frank Alexander arc handiing the business end of the production. A further note of interest is that this play, "The Young Idea," would have been presented at the Junior College three years ago, if the Bucknell Players had not run short of the necessary cash. Now, this is a bit of confidential information. It was the result of the efforts of the Junior College students who were connected v.ith the ill-starred production of three years ago and who were disappointed at the "folding up" of the play at WilkesBarre t!lat made possible the campus production of this Coward drama. · We hope to sec many more Junior Collegians in Cap and Daj?ger next year. Best wishes to Miss Sangiuliano and the J. C. dramatics organi;;ation in their work this year. Two of the Juuiur College students, now seniors on the campus, hold office in the honorary Engine• ering Society the Beta Epsilon Sigma. Albert Rohlfs is president this year and Anthony YoJis secretary. Rohlfs and three other Junior College men at Lewisburg, William Bciswinger, I. R.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 19~6 ARMISTICE DAY "Jf .you wish for peace prepare for war." This was the psychology practiced by many nations up to present times. The more loi;::ical slogan seems to be "If you want peace prepare for peace." But how shall we prepare for thi11 peace? Education of our people is the most forceful method of ·advo· eating and spreading the peace movement. One of the means of educating our people is through our schools and colleges. It is essential that we influence the youthful mind toward pc:icc and away from war. However, our institution of learning, in which these young minds arc being molded, did not in anyway celebrate Armistice <lay. The day on which the GREAT WAR ended. The day which sym• bolizes the hopes of men that from that day on• ward there should be 110 more strife hctween men in which blood should he shed and lives lost. Another way in which we can educate our peo· pie toward peaceful trends is hy supporting the peace movements. We may not agree with some of the methods used hy our peace organi:a!ions to 'bring about this ideal, but we shouh.l cooperate with them. Perhaps a parade isn't the hcst means of spreading a peace movement, but Bucknell as a bocly should have cooperated. It shouk1 have proved t.o the people of Wilkes-Barre that the youth of this vicinity arc in favor of peace and ;m: goin~ to DEMAND it in the future. -B. T. "To Dance or Not To Dance" Do not fret, You cannot get The girls of France To c0me tu the Dance. But ours will! --Elsa Feigenbaum DEAR EDlTO!lS: Since the last dance the question has become rromincnt :is to whether it is correct for the girls of Bucknell Univcrsity Junior College to ask their gentlemen friends to the college dances. The girls argue that it is 11ot ladylike for them to ask men. If this be the case thc girls of Vassar, Wclblcy, and Misericordii ,uc not ladylike. For while the gir~5 of thc.~e colleges do not m~ke _it a rcgu1ar pr:ict;cc to ::;k the :-:1c:1, ~t cc~t~!~ t!m':'"~ during thc year they assert their prerogative in ex• tending invitations to j'Oung men. But the girls of Bucknell say that tl,c young gentlemen whom they would hring will not know each other. We might add that the men of the college often bring into their groups girls who have previously not been acquainted. These girls do not seem to be violently Jisturbcd by this fact. It might be sug• gestcd that the girls get together and arrange' dances to he exchanged within the group . . We do not believe th~:: the men whom they bring -.vould seri• ousl}' object to their doing this. Many of the men of Bucknell escort to the dances girls who do not attend our school. These girls have been very kind to the Junior Coliege men in in• vitinl,'! them to parties and outside dances, and it would be considered impolite not to respond with return invitations to these same girls. Remember girls, only 37 days until Jan. 1 and your leap year opportunities will be gone for another four years. So-"Gathcr ye escorts while ye may." -Andrew O'Malley --➔----EDITORS OF THE BEACON: In answer to the arguments advanced by APdrcw O'Malley, I wish to present the opinion of the girls. The girls have no serious objection tn inviting gmtlemen friends to the school danc:es if, and only if, they are not students at the Junior College. If any objection has been voiced by the girls it is certainly not bccau!IC they feel it woulJ be unconventional, but because they believe that friend from outside would have comparatively few acquaintances and consequently be unable to ex• change many dances since this custom has always hccn handled by the men of the College. As for inviting men from the Junior College, which has been suggested by some, we absolutely hclievc that we h,1ve not. the conventional right. -Elizabeth Davicc; �Page Five THE BuCKNELL BE.-\CON ·- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SPORTS SOCIAL NEWS Edward Davis, cap· tain of the 1936-37 quintet, is a native of Newport, where he played varsity basket· ball for two years.

Greetings to the Bucknell Beacon Gn alumnus �Page Six TH E B UCKNE LL B EACON BY FREIGHTER TO EUROPE • Doctor and Mrs. Churchill • After a hard winter trying to im part some know!, edge to Bucknell students, Dr. and Mrs. C hurchill sailed for Europe the day after Convocation. T o heighten the adventure they travelled on a freighter, with some t welve other passengers . . . .all officially signed on as "crew." A delightful crossing brought them close to their port of A ntwerp, but a dockworkers' strike in that city compelled them to disembark at Flushing and proceed to Antwer p by train. While in Belgium they visited Brussels, W aterloo, t he Belgian Ardennes and Bruges, a quaint old place fi lled with canals and high-arched bridges. When they entered France they found a general strike in progress. They saw idle factories { rom w hich the red flag was fl ying, and cafes in which the employees had shut themselves, on a "stay-in" strike. " Every Frenchman" remarked Dr. C hurch ill, "seems to regard A merican travelers the way Ace Hoffman Studios Portrait, Commercial and Aerial Photographers 54 W .

X -ray fitted 23 Public Square cannibals do a missionary, as sent from H eaven ex, pressly to be set upon and devoured" . . . . fro m which we gathered that if you wish to travel in France at a reasonable expense you must be wary and speak French! In Rheims, the Churchills were impressed by the great evidence of war destruction. A s Rheims is the center of the champagne district they were af, forded a· marvellous opportunity to see the wine cellar of Pommery and G reno. This consisted of sixteen miles of cellars hewn out of the solid limestone and filled with millions of bottles. By good fortun e they happened t o visit the Palace of V er, sailles on the one Sunday in the month when the fa mous fountains were in full action. In London, Dr. and Mrs. Churchill saw the parade of the King's G uard, on the very day when a fan atic attempted to shoot the King. At O xford they enjoyed an outdoor performance of Lewis C arroll's " Alice in W onderland." The setting for the play was a lake with shrubbery as background. At inter mission ice-cream and soup was sold. (Better refer to the play at this point!) In Holland the national costume was more prevalent than elsewhere. In O xford the travelers found that their rooming-house . . .. one of the approved lodgings fo r students. . . .had no bath-tub or electricity, and even the gas line was out of order! Which might seem to imply t hat if "cleanliness is next to godliness" an O xford education enables a student to get along without either. Our illustration portrays Dr. and Mrs. Chu rch ill in Dutch costume. We wonder if it was taken aft er their visit to Rheims? Wilkes-Barre Wi lfzes--Ba1t'te Business Colle9e anc.

VoL. I OCTOBER 29, 1936 No. 3 HALLOWE'EN CLUB ANNOUNCES CONTEST Hallowc'cn is a curious mixture of classical mythology anJ Christian superstition. It is on.: of the hclicis that dominated the religion of the Middle Ages, especially that of the Anglo-Saxons. In England the peasants went about on Hallowe'en tlar from hnusc to house singing songs anti repeating v.:rscs. If their cntcr'tainment was •well receivctl, the pea5ants were given foodstuffs for a comr.:on feast. If their entertainment was bad, they were given foodstuffs also, but in a different manno:r. On the night of Hallowe'en the family gathered about the firepla.:e to tell stories of atlventurc and supernatural beings. As the fire died out each member of the family would throw into the fire • place a stone marked by themselves. At tlaybreak if anything hatl happened to any stone, that perwn to whom it he!oni.:.:d would suffer during the ye;1r to come. Today Hallowe'en is marked by broken fences, chalk marks, ~mashed windows, missing furniture, hou~t: lu l,oux: .:anvassi:.g :md rm•: dyi~m.

Hrlrn Hunt. on the faculty of Judson Col· legc, r·,mgoon University, Burma, and daughter ot former President Hunt of Bucknell, addressed As· Sl'mbly on October 13. Education in Burma, said Miss Hunt, was neither compulsory nor free. Many languag..s and diverse racial groups complicate the situation. Despite this fact, and the native desire for greater use of the vernacular, English is the only language used from the fourth grade up. In Rangoon University the same method is found as in Oxford and Cambridge. The separate colleges, of which JudS<,;n ·is one, pro• vidc the te.iching, while the University examines the students at the close of the sophomore and senior years and grants all degrees. There are no "maketup" examinations, and a student wl:,:, fails in part of his field must take the whole ficltl over again. In view of the diversity of racial groups and re· ligious bel.iefs the University of Rangoon offers an exceptional opportunity for learning how to discard prejudices. N~tiunalism, said Miss Hunt, was a very strong influence in ilurma and the students of Rangoon were naturally considerably affected hv that spirit. J. D. MR.

I OCTOBER 13, No. 2 1936. "OUR NOBLE SELVES" Introducing Betty Tonks! Megan Betty Tonks was born in Staffordshire, England, on February 12, 1917. She tame to this country when she was seven years old and returned to England for a visit at twelve years of age. At Forty Fort High School she played in the orchestra, was a member of the Library Club, of the Choral Club, and a member of the cast in the Senior play. Betty graduated holding the highest average in the class of 1935. Last year, as well as continuing to hold a fine scholastic record, she was vice-president of the Beta Gamma Chi and secretary of the Freshman Class. ·She took an active interest in both the Choral Club and the Dramatics Club. This year Betty is president of the Choral Club, treasurer of Beta Gamma Chi, · and one of the Student Council representatives on the Social Activities Committee. JOSEPH GALLAGHER It was on the seventh d·ay of October, 1917, that a great event in the history of Bucknell took place, for it was then that Joseph Gallagher first saw the light of day. His early childhood was spent in many cities though he lived most of the time in Buffalo, re; turning to Hanover to begin his education. He was the leading man in the dramatic produc, tion at Hanover High School from whence he grad; uated with the class of '35. While in high school h~ was the class treasurer for three years, and here it might be mehtioned that during that time Joe handled more than $7,500 without a cent error. Foi this noteworthy feat he received special commenda~ tion on graduation night. He also participated in sports, writing a column on it for the school news, paper and playing with ·the 'varsity baseball and basketball teams. -- ( Continued on page 2) ( Continued on page 7) BETTY TONKS �Page 'Tlt'o T1w Buc~NELL BEACON PICNIC A SUCCESS NEW FACULTY lf one were to jmlge the su.:.:css of a pi.:ni.: hy the attemlance anJ hy the gL\()J timc haJ by all, the first picnic hckl by the Junior College at Camp Aca• hela on SaturJay, October 3rJ was an outstanding suc,:css. The hays were oc.:upicJ with baseball, soft• hall, volley hall, football, anJ Jeck tennis. Dr. (De• maggio) Tasker provcJ to hf.- the outstanJing long distance hitter of the Jay, and with his exceptional ahility as a broken field runner in the pigskin game, he was chosen the outstanding athlete of the day. The girls and the faculty spent the Jay ;:laying deck tennis anJ wandering about the cain:,. There was only one problem and that a great one-water. With parched tongues and dry stomachs we wandered over a seemingly Sahara Dr!'t'rt in search of water, but to no avail. Suddenly on the Horizon there ap· peared the Facuity members with steaming hot ket· tlcs of coffee. Ru•hir,~ towards them with out· stretched arms and empty cups, we found that paper cups arc gre:it conductors of heat. But hy dunking four or five doughnuts, which were free, into the coffee, the heat was absorbed sufficiently to allow us to partake of this delicious beverage. Ice Cream, which was supplied by the school, also added tn our indigestion. To finish an otherwise perfect day Nor· man Tractenberg decided to take a stratosphere flight to investigate conditions there, hut a blankt:i. was the nearest thing to an aeroplane so he took off in this. The day c:ime td a perfect end with the group singing songs and ending with the Alma Mater. As the group left the grounds many voices could be heard which praised highly the success of this first event of the year. W.T. I wish tu in:roduci- tu the student body the latest adJition tu our faculty. Miss Sanginliano. Miss Sangiuliano replaceJ Mr. Keller as <l:amatic coach. She !!ra<luated from the Syracuse University with :t· Bachelor of Oral English degree, Bachelor of Art~ degree and Master of Arts in Drama. At Syracuse Miss Sangiuliano worked with plays and piayers from every angle. She has taught at her alma mater cla~cs in Appreciation of Drama, Stage Technique, and Make-up. Each summer for the past six seasons she has returned to the University to be member of the Sum• m,·r Sch0ol Players of Syracuse. We know Miss Sangiuli?.no much better, however, for her work in the Children ·s Theatre which she has conducted for the past two years and plans to continue this year. Miss Sangiuliano tentatively ;-hn< tn prnn11C'.e two or three full length plays. For preparation of these plays our dramatics instI"..lcto, is .going to use a new method. First walking rehear · sals will he started. The players will act out the pla: without saying the lines. After this is learned t, perfection, Miss Sangiuliano says, the lines will b.. ea5ily mastered . In other words it is the teaching of stage technique. Mr. Paul Schwartz, our new Instructor in Ee• onomics, is a native of Harnsburg and a graduate of the Technical High School in that city. His B. S. i1 Business Administration was taken at Lehigh Uni vcrsity, and his graduate work pursued at Penn State College and Columbia. From the latter Uni• vcrsity he received his A. M As an undergraduate at Lehigh he was a member of the Freshman baseball team and of the Univer.,ity hand . He returned in 1928 to Lehigh and held the position of Assistant Registrar till 1932. Mr Schwartz is much interested in sports, having actec, as coach to the basketball and baseball teams whef'I teaching at Nazareth High School. While teachint at Freehold High School, N.

In passing, your correspondent would like to express his pleasure over the revival of a Junior College newspaper. May its existence be longer than that of the old " Bison Stampede," whose destiny he helped to direct two years ago. The Dean's List (or Honor Roll) of the University for the last semester of last year was graced by the names of many former J. C. students. The list was headed by Julius Altman, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who spent his first two years of college at the Junior College. Other J. C. names on the list follow: Dora Elleni, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is business manager of Cap and Dagger, the campus dramatics organization. Miss Elleni is a member of the Phi Mu sorority. Edward Hartmann, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is president of Delta Phi Alpha, the honorary German fraternity . Albert Rohlfs, a senior in the Electrical Engineering course, who is president of Beta Epsilon Sigma, honorary engineering fraternity . Mr. Rohlfs is a member of Theta Upsilon Omega fraternity. Joseph Salsburg, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is connected with Cap and Dagger and is a member of Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatics fraternity, and of Kappa Phi Kappa, professional education fraternity. Ambrose Saricks, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is president of Kappa· Phi Kappa, and a member of Delta Phi Alpha and Theta Alpha Phi honorary fraternities, and of the social fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. Eleanor Scureman, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is also a member of Delta Phi Alpha, Theta Alpha Phi and of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Anthony Yodis, a senior in the Engineering course, ,n ember of Beta Epsilon Sigma, and Pi Mu Epsilon, '1onorary mathematics fraternity. Joseph Lord, a senior in the Liberal Arts course, who is a member of Cap and Dagger. Joseph Duddy, a senior in the Chemical Engineering course. A glance at this list will show that J. C. students who transferred to the campus a year ago have, in ;hat year, firmly established themselves in the life at Bucknell. It is pleasing to note, also, that Junior Col, ege students who came to the campus for the first ·ime this fall are already finding places in campus •ctivities. Irma Hewitt, Robert Renville, and Joseph Sais, ~,urg have leading roles in "Death Takes a Holiday," he fall play of Cap and Dagger. Eleanor Scureman , associate director of the play. Mason Baldwin, ::ihn McDonough, and James Ramsey are working The Political Science class staged a five-ring circus last week. The two major political parties and three of the minor ones were represented. Each student chose a party to represent. Some of the braver members volunteered, often against their own personal beliefs, to. speak for the minority parties. Among the comic highlights the following were notable. A Re, publican Sophomore, seriously tackling the farm question, discovered at the close of his speech that he had been reading the Democratic platform. A Freshman, herself a Democrat but speaking for the Lemke-Union Party, was so devastatingly " impartial" that not a soul present felt like voting for her "platform" when she got through with it! A Republican Sophomore, attempting to rebut Judge on the ticklish topic of Tariffs, came to grief over "sus, stisticks". A Democrat declared in his haste that the Democratic Party had been responsible for establishing the Spoils System . . . he recovered, too late, to say that he meant the Civil Service. "Hank" Peters provided the act that brought down the house. He went back into the dark ages of Ancient Greece and proved that the present Communist Party was really fathered by such "intellectual giants" as Plato, Zeno et al. After that tour de force the rest of the session was an anti-clima·x. on the technical side of the production. Indeed, production of the play would be impossible, were it not for the part J. C. students are filling in it. Seven men and one woman who transferred from the Junior College to the campu's this fall have pledged three social fraternities and one sorority. Irma Hewitt has pledged Pi Beta Phi sorority. Al Rusin, star infielder on the J. C . baseball team last year, has pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and David Williams has joined Kappa Delta Rho. Phi Kappa Psi was the social fraternity chosen by five former Junior Collegians-Ralph Ford, Mason Baldwin, James Ramsey, Robert Mayock, and Robert Renville. Bucknellians on the campus are looking forward to the Home-Coming Day game with Villanova on Saturday, October 31. J. C. men and women now on the campus would iike to see a big turnout of present Junior College students at this game and extend a cordial invitation to their friends in Wilkes, Barre to visit the campus during the weekend of October 30. Best of wishes and lots of luck to the Junior Col, lege for a successful year from Your Lewisburg Correspondent. O'Malley : "Guess who's in the hospital." Brislin ( excited) : "Who?"

The program includes triQs to hospitals in Philadelphia and New York, where operations will- be witnessed. Prominent local doctors wil'I be invited to speak before the Club on special subjects and inspection of local hospitals is also contemplated . The following officers were elected for the year : President, Joseph Boyle; vice-president, John Mundrey; secretary, George Sauer; treasurer, Robert Bohn. Mary Ciesla and Andrew O'Malley were elected to represent the Club on the Social Committee of the College. The German Club will hold its first meeting Tuesday, October 13. Intermediate and advanced German students are urged to join. Professors Schuyler and Hall are directing the Engineering Club. Field trips are planned as soon as the club organizes. ASSEMBLY SPEAKERS On Thursday, October 1st, Professor Leroy Bug, bee, teacher of history at Wyoming Seminary, spoke in Assembly about the main issues of the presidential campaign. "As far as I can see," said Professor Bugbee, "the main object of the campaign is to cloud the issues." The real issues, in his opinion, are: the farm program, unemployment, unionization of American labor, the national budget, and social security. Professor Bugbee characterized Landon as a "homely", honest person who believes in economy. He comes from a farm state. Professor Bugbee considered this fact as important, for the election can not be won without the Middle West. He spoke of Roosevelt as an excellent showman, an intriguing and dynamic personality. The Democrats favor the American government · taking an active part in industry while the Republi, cans disapprove. The Republicans oppose federal social security. Roosevelt supports the unionization of American labor, but Landon dodges the issue. LITTLE THEATRE DIBECTOR Mr. Hendrik Booraem, new director of the Wilkes-Barre Little Theatre, was Assembly speaker on Tuesday, October 6. Those students who attended were favorably impressed with his speech. The young people in America, declared Mr. Booraem, are being weaned away from "flesh and blood" shows, because of the powerful influence of the motion picture. Mr. Booraem analyzed the dif, ferent appeals of the motion picture and the stage; his intention was not to condemn the motion picture. "One supplements the other," Mr. Booraem said. "To appreciate one, we must know both." The motion picture's appeal must come from spectacular settings and dynamic action. Legitimate drama must rely on emotional and mental intensity, and subtlety. One cannot enjoy a drama presented on the s:reen as fully as one presented on the stage, contends Mr. Booraem. The two-dimensional screen checks an in, dividual's emotional response, because the spectator realizes the actors are only images. The average per, son can experience the same emotions as the actors, when he attends a stage presentation, for he realizes the characters are really there. Mr. Booraem spoke of the work of the Little Theatre as recognized throughout the United States among the six Little Theatre groups that are capable of faithfully producing any Broadway play.

While in Bucknell Junin r College he continued his political career, being elected treasurer of the Freshman Class and in June was nominated for and received the office of President of the Sophomore Class.

Joe moreover , is a Second Lieutenant in the Mar, ine Reserves and spent last summer at the Reserve Officers Training Camp at Quantico, Virginia. He lays claim to being Bucknell's A N o. 1 Woman Hater but after hearing from many students the story of Joe's famous summer romance and other affairs of the heart, his boast seems to be an error. Oswald Garrison Villard is to speak at a special Assembly on Friday, October 16. He is coming to Wilkes-Barre under the auspices of the W . I. L. P. of which Mrs Lovdand is president. Mr. Villard received his M . A . degree from H ar , vard in 1893; his L.

I rn! SerTl!MDP.R 15, 193(.. No. 1 WHAT BUCKNELL OFFERS WELCOME FRESHMEN! Education is intangible. It is not a condition at which you will arrive after four years of colie~c. It is a dynamic quality which sets the educated rer• son apart from the rest of mankind, but .at the same time gives that person greater sympathy and under• standing• Education provides the in<lividual with hroader interests and offers a means of satisfying those interests. It is a leaven which kecrs men and women constantly alert at new ideas, symp.ith.:Li.: tu the needs of others an<l dissatisfic<l with the imrer· fcctions of our world. Those of you who arc this year entering the Jun· ior College of Bucknell University will be 1-(iwn full opportunity to attain high srholastic stan<lards. It is my hope that you will not 1-w: ~ati~ficd with !l('hnlas• tic attainments alone, but that you will acquire a vision of something · beyond aca<lcmic requircmcnts, and will emerge from your two years with us, finer and stronger persons.. Yon will fin<l that vour teachers arc travclin!( the same path that you travel. To thi:m it is wdl worn, .and the way is frequently distinct : to you the way will be less clear. To both there will be much that is new, and the <liscovery of new things together should develop those common interests that arc the basis of lasting friendship. Remember that education is not an end in itsdf, hut is the opening of new doors, and the enjoyment of new vistas. It is the hope of those of us who will work with you that you may take much frnm us that will be of worth to you, and that you may leave something with us that will mable us to offer more to those who follow you. -Eugene S. Farley The members of the Sophomore Class cordially welcome you to Bucknell University Junior College. Those of us who have had the experience of being strangers in a foreign place know what it means .. • strange customs, new faces, to say nothing of the en• vironmcnt, which may perplex you initially. You meet new people and a desire arises to cultivate their friendship- A mutual understanding is brought about, Jue. we believe, to the strong hond of hrctherhood and good feeling existing among us. We hope that you freshmen may sense this spirit of co· operation and e411ality during your first few weeks of cl:t!s.'lCS and activities. I am sure that our associations will meet with suc• cc:;s ::ncl that ;-ou will be able to adapt yourselves tn your new environment and find a happy and useful rlacc for yourselves at the Junior College. We wish you a very pleasant and successful year with us. -J. V. Gallagher FRESHMAN RECEPTION With flushed faces, hearts beating a double tempo, and rabbit-like timidity, the freshman class proudly presented their parents and themselves to a welcom· ing faculty and stud~nt body on the night nf &·pt· ember 9th, in the College auditorium. With a little of the shyness worn off through the endeavor of thr faculty and students, the freshmen, with their rar· ents, settled themselves comfortably in their scats and enjoyed a varied and appropriate piece of entertainment.

OUR JUNIOR COLLEGE In 1933 Bucknell University, located at Lewis· burg, realizing the need for a Junior College in Luz• erne County, petitioned the State Council of Edu• cation for approvai of the estabiisi11m:11L of ~u~ '.1 ,111 institution. This was granted on June 9, 1933. The organization of the new division was undertaken by Dr. Frank G. Davis, and Dr. Tohn H.
