The New Staff
With this issue ;i new staff assumes the publishing of The
Susquehanna. .Most of us on the staff are familiar with our new
positions although not fully acclimated to them. Until such
time as we are accustomed to our tasks, we do not expect to be
without many errors. We will welcome and appreciate any eon-
structive criticism offered.
As mentioned before in this column, The Susquehanna
belongs to the students of Susquehanna University and not to
the few who work on the staff. The staff-workers are merely the
rpresentatives of the whole body. The two factors must work in
harmony in order to publish the best possible paper. As its plat-
form, the new staff desires to give lull representation to all cam-
pus activities at Susquehanna. It is well-nigh impossible for
us to be informed of all happenings on the campus. So that the
desired coverage can be given we ask that the heads of various
organisations having material for write-up inform a staff mem-
ber to that effect and we will send a reporter to get the essential
material for the write-up. In this manner can all activities be
given their rightful share of publicity.
In the make-up of The SUSQUEHANNA, there is space de-
voted to material submitted by students not regular members
of the staff. We refer to the department reserved for student
contribution, ''Among Ourselves." Students who occasionally
like to write and have material in the form of essay, short story,
poetry, or any other form will find their way into print through
the medium of this branch of the paper. Among Susquehanna's
students are many who possess the ability to write well and who.
if they availed themselves of the opportunity, could aid greatly
in the improvement of TltK SUSQUEHANNA.
We congratulate the retiring editor upon the splendid work
which she did during her term and express the hope that we can
do as well.
S
Extra-Curricular
With the appearance of Ford Prick on the campus this com-
ing Thursday evening, the Star Course presentations for the
school year are completed. We commend those in charge of the
selection of the features for this activity upon giving the student
body a well-rounded program The drama, music, and the world
of sports are represented on the list of features. All tares em-
body (dements necessary for the living of a better and more nearly
complete life. All three have an appeal for all students at Sus-
quehanna. The musical, of course, has an especial interest lo
those of us who are specialiisng in that type of activity. Mow-
ever, those in other branches of study should also exhibit inter-
est in things musical so that the broad background necessary to
the successful college graduate may be acquired.
The drama was exemplified by a tine organisation, The
Hedgerow Players, whose presentation. "Twelfth Night," was
enjoyed by all who availed themselves of the opportunity.
The final feature introduces to Susquehanna, a man who
has had wide experience in dealing with the noted figures in
sports and in other walks of life. While Mr. Flick's talk will
of necessity be of special interest lo the sport lovers among us,
it is expected that there will be much to be enjoyed hy those of
us Who are not vitally interested in athletics. In recent years
there has lieen a trend to greater participation in sports by all
people and the well rounded person should Ik- able to carry on
an Intelligent conversation in sports as well as in other matters.
Mr. Flick's wide experience assures us of a full lecture.
S
Fore!
Spring has come to Susquehanna and with it the call for
many to the golf course on the campus. The game of golf gives
to many students their main exercise. But to some unfortunate
it may mean a large bump on the head or even worse. The prac-
tice fields are being used by the aspirants for spring s|M>its and
it is necessary that the golfers take care when teeing off so as
to avoid hit tiny someone with the ball. Also, the golfers may do
well to confine their activities to periods when (he field is not
otherwise in use. In any event, we urge that the safety of life
and limb of the Innocent bystander be preservd.

Dabbeling In Drivel'
Krupa and Stuff: —
That inimitable master of the drums
who several months ago said "adios"
to King of Swing Goodman, has finally
appeared with his new band, which
some have said would become tops
within five months. Yours truly, too,
has heard the drumomaniac in the role
of a maestro, and thus far the only
sign of royalty that he exhibits is king
of flops. At times it sounds as if most
of the musicians are ex-WPA workers.
The only interesting feature is the
tom-tom beating of the dusky drum-
mer boy. And who can stand four
hours of drumming? He lacks any key
men. and must certainly do miracles
to reach the proverbial top. Modern
swing would have benefited a lot more
had Krupa stayed with Goodman.
Three Foos and a Razzberry: —
A lot of people give Charlie Mc-
Carthy a la Edward Bergen their vote
for king of the double talk, but I have
a candidate to offer. He is the prexy of
these United States. Says prexy In
1933 . . . "Hoover's spending prolonged
the depression" . . . same prexy in 1938
. . . "We must spend to end the re-
cession" . . . Hoover left us with a 7
billion deficit . . . Roosevelt pushed this
up to 17 billion . . . and at the peak
of his little supposed boom, there were
still at least 8 million unemployed . . .
lest you doubt our words we can show
you statistics for proof.
New Straw Ballot: —
These things are usually only used
in Presidential elections, and passed
away when the Literary Digest did its
swan song, but somehoooo they're re-
appearing again. The latest one has
been taken among the students of sev-
enty universities in these here United
States. Results show a general ten-
dency away from the ultra-torrid "jam"
sessions of Goodman. Calloway. Eling-
ton, et cetera, to the sweet swing por-
trayed by Dorsey. Kaye, Kyser. and the
like. Reformers say its an indication
that the modern college student is re-
forming . . . Dorsey followers say its the
superiority of the bands ... I say its
'• cyclical, and is bound to happen . . .
human nature loves variety . . . even in
! its music ... we might say that the
exodus began with the advent of "Ti
Pi Tin" . . . anr" will end when some-
thing new comes along.
Orchids and Et cetera To: —
Wrigley's new program each week-
night at seven . . . features the An-
drews sisters . . . plus a swell singer
; called Pulton . . . and a grand orches-
tra . . . reminds us that one Maurice
Spitalny is really going places orches-
trally speaking in these past few weeks
. . . Carmen Lombardo's new waltz . . .
"I Love You With All My Heart" . . .
the law of averages started to work
with aforementioned Mr. Lombardo . . .
yessir. the waltz is coming back . . . the
radio work of Mary Small . . . small but
mighty . . . Mark Warnow's new Hit
Parade orchestra . . . boasts of fifty -
five members . . . which, we believe is
something of a record number with
regards to any series ... a new song
... "Little Lady Make-Believe".
College of Musical Knowledge: —
Lissen all ye studes and studettes we
suggest that ye tune your radio dial
Wednesday evenings at 10 p. m. to one
Kay Kyser and his College of Musical
Knowledge ... it offers sweet swing
a la Kyser and his band . . . musical
questions of interest . . . the usual con-
test . . . and now 20 % of the tickets
go to students of Metropolitan district
colleges ... but best of all we like the
blarney that the old maestro offers be-
tween the numbers and acts . . . few
things are of a "must" type in our life,
but this is one thing that we yield to,
and feel we really "must" hear . . .
as a colleague of mine (of "Ramblings"
fame) would say . . . it's worth six
hundred words in anybody's column"
I . . . listen for it . . . you'll like it.

Did You Know:—
Danielle Darrieux had to become

F. Scott Fitzgerald in his writings finds
that the only type of villian he can

. . . America is the only country that

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
The Sophomore hop has come and
gone,
And I wonder if any sophomores saw
the dawn?
I know I didn't, because I didn't go,
Reichard and I you know, were too
slow,
But then we could sit and watch with
eye
The passing co-eds with blushing (?)
sighs
And with all these couples dancing
Mr. Frattali did his prancing
And warbled like a bird in June;
April the first must have come too
soon.
Hutch and Mink stepped around
And Cleo and Powell near the music
were found.
The music was good, no one can deny.
But what made Pritts say with a sigh,
"I was robbed, Oh me, oh my,
Seventy-five you have gone goodbye.'
You may forget the wars of Spain and
such,
And come right back here and see so
much.
I've heard of dates in funny places.
I've seen study on many faces
But why do Essie and Tubby on Sun-
day spend
Their efforts to write a literary pen,
I know that you will agree with me
When with these words I tell you
That in these lines of nonsense
There is no sense at all.

High School Choir
To Appear in Chapel
The A Capella Choir of Pottsville
High School, to be heard on the cam-
pus, was organized in 1930 and has been
conducted since that time by Earl W.
Haviland, director of music in the pub-
, lie schools of Pottsville. This talented
group of choral singers will be pre-
sented in Seibert Hall Chapel on Wed-
nesday morning. April 27, at 11:00 A.
M. This will be the regular chapel pro-
gram. A schedule of classes for Wed-
nesday morning will be posted on the
bulletin boards. Our own Motet Choir
| was the guest of this organiaztion.
The large choir of 120 voices includes
j a traveling choir of 70. radio and con-
cert ensemble groups of 50. 35, and 16.
In 1936, the choir was selected by the
National Broadcasting Company to
serve as National Music Week heralds
in a coast-to-coast broadcast. These
several units of the choir have partici-
pated in National High School Chorus
concerts held in Chicago. Detroit.
Cleveland, and Pittsburgh and have
I given concerts in Pittsburgh. Harris-
| burg. Reading. Ithaca and many other
I metropolitan cities throughout the east.
j In the past five years, participation in
I the State Music Contests, held in Sun-
: bury, Johnstown, Oil City, Pottsville,
: and Altoona, has been rewarded by
; more than 20 Eastern District victories
and 7 State championships. The reper-
toire of the choir includes a wide var-
| iety of sacred and secular numbers, of
different national and racial traditions,
j not neglecting the simple and lovely
J traditional songs of America and Eng-
land.

papers, and 22 percent read three
newspapers.
The "Philadelphia Inquirer" was the
most popular daily newspaper with 38
percent of the students reading this
paper and only 10 percent reading the

"RANDOM SPORTS" SPORT TALK
Saw one of the playoff games of the
American Professional Basketball
League and have arrived at the opin-
ion that the dribble-and-shoot game as
played by the pros is the nearest thing
to legalized assault and battery extant
—practically anything goes with the
boys who play for lucre. The contests
are divided into three fifteen minute
periods with or without a center jump
after a score. At the game in question,
the teams played sans the jump but
midway in the last period changed to
the line-up after each score. The only
time a player is given a foul shot is
when he is fouled in the act of shoot-
ing — other fouls merely give the offend-
ed player's team the possession of the
ball out of bounds. As for the spec-
tator, he receives his money's worth
for besides occasionally handling the
ball, the rival centers engage in a
wrestling match, with the other play-
ers having arguments of their own.
High Treason
— was committed by Waite Hoyt ac-
cording to the adherents of the Na-
tional Baseball League. It seems that
the trouble originated with an article
written for "The Saturday Evening
Post" by the former New York Yankee
pitching star and current member of
the Brooklyn Dodgers. In his piece for
the "Post" Waite went into great de-
tail in order to explain the supposed
superiority of the American League.
National Leaguers consider it the high-
est crime and misdemeanor that a
member of their own circuit should
openly admit the superiority of the
younger organization. The writer be-
ing one of those who would rather see
a National League pitcher's battle than
an American League slugfest cannot
agree with those who claim a super-
iority of the American League and
class the National as another minor
loop.
The Case of the Dizzy One
It seems that much discussion has
been aroused by the sale of Jerome
Herman Dean to the Chicago Cubs by
the St. Louis Cardinals for three play-
I ers and a reported sum of $185,000.
: The amount of cash in itself is appall-
ing and the fact that three ball play-
1 ers of known ability were included in
the deal makes it appear that Owner
Wrigley of the Chicago team really
wants a National League Champion-
ship and that he is prepared to pay
! for it. Many authorities agree that the
| Cubs did purchase the League pennant
I when they acquired Dean but other
followers of the national pastime claim
J that there is a dark-hued gentleman
in the woodpile. It is pointed out that
the former Cardinal star was bothered
in the latter part of last season by a
sore arm and that he may have lost
some of the "zip" on his high hard one.
Also, "Dizzy" engaged during the off-
i season in a battle with "Kid Influenza"
which left him in a weakened condition
and it may be some time before he is
his real self. In order to dispel some
of the fears. Dean pitched and won
his first game in Cub uniform recently,
but went only six innings in accom-
; plishing this feat. The critics are still
unsatisfied while we say in the words
of the much-quoted sage, "only time
' will tell."
Local Stuff
Crusader diamond opponents — the
Huskies of Bloomsburg Teachers de-
feated the University of Pennsylvania
recently by the count of 10-9 — Lit-
whiler. Bloom center fielder, supplied
the winning punch with a home run in
the ninth inning. This same player
will be remembered by local fans for
his brace of circuit smashes against
the Crusaders last year on University
field— Susquehanna plays host to the
Teachers on May 16. — Drexel, to be
played on April 25. boasts among other
victories a 1-0 conquest of the Uni-
versity of Delaware on April 20.
Don Ford. Susquehanna shortstop,
has "Arky" Vaughan of the Pittsburgh
Pirates as his hero and baseball ideal-
Ford, called "Arky" by his team mates,
hopes some day to emulate the antics
I of the great Pirate short-fielder.

Trackmen Prepare
For Opening Meet
Coach Stagg received his first real
glimpse of the track candidates yes-
terday in the annual inter-class meet,
and it was the first opportunity which
the candidates had to perform against
competition and against time. The re-
turn of only four lettermen this year:
Harry Swope. Reed Grenninger, John
Rakshys. and Burton Richards has left
numerous positions vacant on the track
team. Coach Stagg has been attempt-
ing to discover the much needed track
talent in the daily workouts and
through competition in the gym classes.
Harry Swope. veteran letterman in
track and football, was recently elected
captain of the current Orange and
Maroon track team. As a result of
these tryouts the following candidates
have shown promises of developing in-
to formidable track possibilities: Bill
Pritchard. Earl Deardorf. Pete Fitzger-
ald. Jim McCord, and Horace Kauf-
man in the sprints; Burton Richard
and Bill Davis in the quarter-mile;
Reed Grenninger. Paul Brosious. and
John Bice in the half-mile; John Bice
and Bill Troutman in the mile; Harry
Thatcher in the two mile; John Rak-
shys. Kenneth Kinney. Bill Pritchard,
and Gene Smith in the hurdles; Reed
Grenninger in the high -jump and run-
ning broad- jump; John Rakshys. Al-
fred Learn, and Glenn Musser in the
pole-vault; Harry Swope, Burton Rich-
ard, and Paul Shatto in the ajvelin;
and in the discus throw and the shot-
put Captain Harry Swope looms up as
the outstanding candidate.
Tomorrow the Orange and Maroon
track team meets Dickinson at Carlisle
in the current season's lid-opener.
has been training this year to throw
the javelin, put the shot, and hurl the
discus. Harry well deserves the honor
of leading Susquehanna's track team
this year. The members of the team
are all looking forward to giving their
best to make Harry's last year at Sus-
quehanna his most successful. Good
luck to you. Harry Swope.
The dribblers will be led in their
basketball contests by co-captains
Benny Gould and Bob Herr.
Gould was the high-scoring forward
of this year's team, while Bob Herr was
the best all-around floor man. Bob's
shooting and guarding were respons-
ible for keeping Susquehanna in the
running in many games.
The team next year will be built
around these two men who will be
ably assisted by the veterans of this
past season. The squad should go well
next year with the experience of play-
ing together. Best of luck to co-cap-
tains. Gould and Herr.
strand
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody is planning
a comeback in the tennis world by jour-
! neying to England this month to en- !
gage in the Wimbledon matches, after '
being idle for a year and a half. The
potential "Helens" on our campus re-
ceived their first chance to exhibit their
| tennis abilities last Thursday when the
i girls' courts were put into playing con-
| dition. Every court was filled to ca-
pacity last Thursday afternoon.
Ping-pong in the Seibert social
rooms seems to be on the wane since
warm weather has come to stay. It is
hoped by many that tournaments for
both girls and boys be held in order
I to finish a successful season. A tourna-
ment was held last year and there is
no reason why one cannot be arranged
this year.
Every afternoon after the regular
practice session is over. Coach Pritch-
ard requires his baseball boys to take
several laps around the oval. This has
improved the speed of the boys when
they encircle the bases. In a practice
game next week. "Blubber" Hauff hit a
triple but unfortunately was called out
while sliding into second base.
Harry Thatcher and Bill Troutman,
who have had no previous experience
in distance running, are expected to
turn into real point getters for Coach
Stagg's track team. Perhaps we have
potential Glenn Cunninghams striding
around the oval on University Field.
To the golfers who frequent our
course from dawn to dusk every day.
it might be of historical value to them
to know that this year marks the 50th
anniversary of the formation of the
St. Andrews Golf Club in New York.
Therefore, golf is celebrating its golden
anniversary in the United States.
Golf caddies have a name for every
kind of golfer. Are you an offender of
one of the following pithy drawls of
the caddie?
A thicket thumper and timber wolf
are those golfers who get in the woods
and can't get their ball out.
A grasc nibbler if: : player who takes
more turf than ball.
A broccoli browser is one who fre-
quents green gardens.
A stump nibbler has no mercy on
tender shrubs.
Softball has taken a very definite
hold as an afternoon pastime for boys
not engaged in a varsity sport. "Slats"
McBride even takes time off from his
baseball managerial duties to "breeze"
his fast ball past the boys.
Well readers, don't break any strings
on your racquet, don't injure your
pitching arm. and take care not to
break any windows when practicing
your golf game.

PRITCHARD LINEUP I FORD FRICK TO
PLAYS AWAY GAMES FEATURE STAR COURSE
Tuesday
The lovely Dorothy Lamour and
handsome Jon Hall come to screen in i
"The Hurricane," one of the most ;
thrilling dramas to be presented to the
modern screen. This fast-moving i
drama is the story of the French con- \
trol of a group of the South Sea Is- |
lands, and the treatment of the natives
by the government men who are in
charge of the islands. Tnis excellent
story brings out the extreme difference
between the native love and the love
that exists in the heart of the highly
civilized men of the French army.
Jon Hall is portrayed as the native
who is loved and almost worshiped by ;
the members of the tiny island tribe, j
He is able to accomplish feats that j
seem almost impossible to do — he seems |
to have some sort of animal instinct ;
which makes it possible for him to j
avoid danger. However, his temper
gets him into trouble when he strikes '
a man of high social position. The |
struggle which goes on in his mind and j
all the attempts he goes through to ',
escape portrays magnificently the un-
rest which goes on in the savage mind
when he is imprisoned. The lovely
Dorothy Lamour is portrayed in the
role of the beautiful native girl who is
the young bride of Hall. She remains
faithful to him through all the years
of his imprisonment and lives only for
his return. After years of imprison-
ment he escapes and returns to his own
island over a distance of six hundred
miles of sea in an open canoe.
Never has Hollywood risen to such
heights in the filming of such a thrill-
bag story. The shots of the storm which
laid the island to ruin are some of the
best in movie history. And some of the
finest characterizations ever to be pre- :
sented on the screen are given in this
picture.
A long list of other outstanding
characters have also been included in
the drama which include C. Aubrey
Smith, Mary Astor. Thomas Mitchell.
John Carradine. and Raymond Massey.
Wednesday
"Everybody Sing" proves to be one
of the most riotous comedies ever to be
presented to the screen. It proves to
be one of those stories of a madcap
family in which every member of the
family seems to try to do something to
outdo the other. With such a cast as
Judy Garland. Allan Jones, Fannie
Brice, Billie Burke, and Reginald Owen
you are assured of an evening of splen-
did entertainment.
To start things off Judy gets herself
kicked out of an exclusive girls' school
because she liked swing music rather
than the old classics and proceeded to
swing a few of the old classics and was
caught by one of the school mistresses.
When we meet the rest of the family
we find that they are even crazier than
Judy. Even the chef who works in
their kitchen gets himself mixed up in
the family affairs causing much trouble
for all concerned. Little Judy wants to
prove to the family that she can earn
enough money for the family after her
father's business goes to pieces but her
parents object so she runs away and
attempts to find a job. She finally
proves to her family that she really is
piem good.
Ju:;y does plenty of good singing and
Fannie Brice is up to her usual form
with plenty of laughs. Allan Jones, who
gained his fame in "The Firefly." re-
peata his success and gives many min-
utes of enjoyment. Billie Burke is the
tops as usual and Reginald Owen meets
the occasion with a top notch perform-
ance. All in all this show proves to be
a perfect evening of entertainment.
Thursday
Metro-Gold\vyn-May?r brings to the
screen "Of Human Hearts" one of the
most stirring dramas of our country to
ever be filmed. It is the story of the
struggle of a nation as it finds itself
involved in a Civil War. All the trial
and struggles of our nation at this try-
ing time are told in this most Itlrrtng
of dramas. A splendid cast has been
furnished in the persons of Walter
Houston. James Stewart, Beulah Bondi,
Walter Pidgeon. and Guv Kibbee. All
of these outstanding start combine
i efforts to bring one of the best
us ever to be presented to the
fc-creen. Never has there been a better
combination of stars presented in one
picture before. This itory presents a
human story that brings out the true
picture of the feeling betWftU the
Uorth and the South.
Friday
Miriam Hopkins and Ray Milland
me co-starred in the fast moving
drama, "Wise Girl," with Walter Abel
unci Henry Stephensiv. lending the
ne ce s sa ry support. Miriam proves her-
self to really be the wise girl with all
the efficiency that is necessary for a
girl to prove herself an important part
of the business world. Hopkins and
Milland turn out to be one of the best
screen teams yet to be featured.

, year. During this period, his work was
of sufficient brilliance to warrant his
: reelection in 1935 for a term of two
years. As president of the National
League. Mr. Frick has obtained a repu-
tation for fairness and of conducting
the organization in the best interests
of baseball. Also, he has handled his
league in such a way that the people
who pay to see the baseball games get
their full money's worth. Among the
rules rigidly enforced by him is the
prohibition of fraternizing by the play-
\ ei's of opposing teams on the playing
field. He has encouraged the formation
i of natural rivalries between the var-
ious teams of the league in order to
' stimulate interest and keen competi-
' tion.
One of the outstanding incidents of
Mr. Frick's term thus far was his dis-
pute in June of last year with the tem-
peramental "Dizzy" Dean who at that
time was a member of the St. Louis
Cardinals. Dean objected to a ruling
; by the president concerning his antics
1 on the baseball field. However, after
much fanfare, the objection was to no
avail and the decision was maintained.
It is expected that Mr. Frick's talk
will deal with the intimate and behind
the scenes incidents of sports. His vast
experience as a reporter of all sporting
events will be brought in to the lecture
so that all lovers of sport and also
those who do not follow very closely
; the happenings in the sporting world
will find much of interest in the talk.
I All who attend are assured of enjoying
: a unique and entertaining speech.

Dabbeling In Drivel"
The Band Festival
Students and friends of Susquhanna University should ex-
perience a feeling of pride whenever the name of the All-Master
Baud Festival is mentioned for in a comparatively short time
this annual event lias come to be regarded as an outstanding
musical program of the school year. <5re;it Importance is at-
tached to our Band Festival by hand leaders throughout this
lection of the state. While the scope of the organiaztion may be
confined to a portion of the state, the fame of the Festival has
spread beyond local confines. Recently, there was ;i Large amount
of space in the New York Times devoted to a story concerning
Susquehanna's contribution to the band world. It is through
mediums such as this that our school becomes known to an ever
increasing number of people.
Those in authority should be commended for the work that
is being done in giving some recognition to deterring high school
musicians. The incentive which the Band Festival gives to young
boys and girls will persist long idler the last selection is con-
cluded and will do much toward developing future artists. The
amount of satisfaction given to the young musieian must indeed
be great when he plays under the direction of such notables as
Edwin Franko Goldman and Percy Grainger. The inspiration
thus given should serve to drive liim to even greater heights.
Then too, from the viewpoint of increased student enroll-
ment, the Band Festival is of great value. Through it, many
high school seniors are brought into contact with Susquehanna
University. Doubtlessly, some students already in school receiv-
ed their initial introduction to Susquehanna by attending the
Festival. New students of this type will strengthen our musical
department. With this thought in mind, Ave urge the members
Of the student body to be most courteous to our visitors of the
coining week-end so that they will have a favorable impression
of our school after the affair is over.
S
Wanted— A Solution
"I'm sorry but that hook is signed out for the whole even-
ing."' This statement is familiar to many students who are mem-
bers of large classes in which considerable outside leading is
assigned. They go to the library with good intentions of study-
ing but when informed that the one book in which the assign-
ment is has been reserved by some of the thirty or more students
in the class, the latecomer must go to (lass unprepared or bor-
row a fellow student's notes. The first recourse is forced upon
the pupil and he is penalised through no obvious fault of his
own. The second solution allows the student to present some
semblance of preparedness which is not very thorough, The con-
scientious student really wants to lead the library assignment
but is oftentimes prevented from doing so by the hick of neces-
sary books in the library. Also there are those of us who through
■OHM outside activity cannot go to the library except in the even-
ings. Hooks are usually reserved by that time. We do not wish
to 1m' critical of the administration of the library for we believe
that \i'\y good work is being done in that department of the
■cbool. However, we do believe that there is some solution to
the problem confronting many of our students. We are of the
opinion that those who have no activity in the afternoon should
strive to use the books at that time. Then too, it is very possible
that some social function be organised, the proceeds from which
should go toward buying additional books lor the library. It is
Obvious that the advantage of OUT second suggestion would be
two-fold. First, an evening of entertainment would 1m> offered
to the student body lor the development of the social side of the
college education and also the academic side be made more ac-
cessible by the purchase of much-needed books for the library.

Commendation
Last Friday, the 1939 Lanthorn was distributed to its sub*
scribers and much favorable comment has been heard concerning'
this publication. There is a tremendous amount of work con-
nected with the publishing of a year-book such jis the Lanthorn
and appreciative comment by tin' student body does much to
compensate thOM who have given much of their time and energy
toward making the edition a success. We of TllE Kl'SQIEHANNA
wish publicly to commend the stall of our fellow campus pub-
lication upon its splendid work.
By Way of Intro:—
Greetings and salutations, dear read-
ers (?) of Dabbling in Drivel. Your
commentator is no less than Robinson
Crusoe's little girl. Friday. As my
master of Drivel fame indulges in a
bit of dabbling in his own life, I shall
attempt to sling several bowls of dan-
delions (second cousins to the orchids)
for you.
To the Musically Minded:
Here's a bit of a tip to you fans of
swing caption. Have you heard of a
certain gentleman of sweet swing
known as Frank Trumbauer? Lest you
have previously missed this gentleman,
I would advise you become acquainted
with "this hyar" maestro as soon as
possible. He has what it takes, and
knows how to swing out with it. It
seems that he and his brother are do-
ing a bit of feuding, and believe-it-
or-not, Frankie seems to be soaring off
with flying colors, topping the sweet
and hot strains of his brother's band.
He is victorious by a sax, trumpet, or
what-have-you. In case you are inter-
ested or troubled with insomnia, tune
in Monday and Friday nights from
twelve to twelve-thirty on the Colum-
bia network. Frankie drifts to you over
the ether waves from the roof garden
of the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles,
California. - - -
Inclination to Literature:
Hear ye! Hear ye! philosophically
minded students. There are several
"tres interessant" books reclining upon
the shelves of our library. There is a
waiting list of literary minded eds and
co-eds waiting for them, so you had
better put your bid in early in case
you would like to increase your scope
of knowledge before you go out among
your fellow job-hunters this summer,
I refer now to one really swellegant
book bearing the title "The Importance
of Living" by one Lin Yutang. There
are really some national, philosophical
facts between the covers of this book.
It relates Chinese philosophy for a per-
iod of three thousand years ... it ap-
pears that the Chinese have come to
the conclusion that the meaning of life
lies just in living itself. Here is a quo-
tation from this literary gem which
may give you a glimpse of the content
of it: . . . "The Chinese philosopher is
one who dreams with one eye open,
who views life with love and sweet
irony, who mixes his cynicism with a
kindly tolerance, and who alternately
wakes up from life's dream and then
nods again, feeling more alive when he
is dreaming than when he is awake,
thereby investing his waking life with
a dream-world quality ... he is sel-
dom disillusioned, and seldom disap-
pointed because he has never had ex-
travagant hopes. In this way his spirit
is emancipated ..." here's hoping
this quotation did not bore you too
much. I made it with the intention
to impress you upon the intricate work-
ings of a Chinese Philosopher's mind,
and to interest you in this truly swell
book. While browsing about the Lib
some time you might stumble upon a
book entitled "The Testament of
Youth." Try digesting a bit of it. It
might interest you; of course, it will
be a bit dry in spots, but it holds truths
which will hold your interest 'til the
next class bell tinkles in your shell-
like ear. - - -
Unemployment:

strikes my fancy, and is good enter-

extremely far-fetched, but with Burns

tainly does not lag between reels.

FROM A SCRAPBOOK"
Of course, you've heard of hobbies— :
well, I have one, too. Saving stuff—
anything— just collecting. But' there's ,
an angle of favoritism to it, and I do
it all the time: Collecting articles — not I
sensational, or fictional, just ordinary I
bits of philosophy here and there, i
Then, I like to read them often and
think about them in different relation-
ships. Yep. I do it all the time and I
love it! Of course, it makes you a little
idealistic in ways, but it's not detri-
mental at all. I suppose people are dif-
ferent, though, and don't go for that
sort of thing, but maybe they've never j
tried it. Personally, I couldn't do \
without it because I like practical
philosophies and the things they make
you think. Oh, well, it doesn't matter—
I still go on doing it and liking it —
my real hobby.
I was looking at my scrapbook col-
lection last night while I felt in the
humor for it and reread an article I
clipped from somewhere long ago. It's
all about Father Damien who went to
that leper colony on the island of
Molokai in 1873, and died with the
disease in his effort to help the people.
One sentence sticks with me, "Greater
love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends."
Friends — so easy to say, we all have
some, lots, good friends. We're happy,
everything going fine, we're successful,
independent— and we have lots of
friends. Suddenly, adversity— loneli-
ness, unhappiness, loss and defeat —
where is even one sympathetic, help-
ing hand? It doesn't have to be in
great loss, but in anything — in small,
trivial matters of everyday life, that
we look for aid. Loneliness— disillus-
ioned and disgusted, misunderstood,
awfully alone among masses of unfeel- :
ing people — funny how you stand alone.
You want a friend— a real one— to cling
to. to share your woes and experiences,
to understand. Somewhere else I read,
— <s
"Man wants sympathy." A "weeping
and wailing," pitiful sympathy? No,
just a common understanding, a guid-
ing comfort. And pretty soon, you find
someone who'll be your mainstay —
someone you can believe in and trust —
something you can root for.
You have faith in someone. It's hav-
ing faith in someone that emphasizes
the "give" trait in humanity. When it
fails, your faith is crushed, nothing
else counts, you're alone again. You
want to- concentrate all your trust and
all your belief in a particular some-
one, give all you have to someone be-
cause he — or she — is to safeguard it —
keep it for you in sympathetic under-
standing and deep-rooted devotion.
Keep it for you as a reserve supply in
"running the race" because you're bet-
ting on him or her to come through for
you— with you. I guess you just have
to have faith in things and people in
general just like you'd be honest and
considerate — make it an important
character trait.
I've rambled on a lot since my first
statement, speaking of friends. But,
even at that, it just goes to show you
how important a friend really is when
he fills the role of "faith-preserver."
Just shows how important that friend
becomes in every angle of our every-
day life— hundreds of instances when a
"feller needs a friend." And Joseph
Damien is a symbol of a friend in need
who dedicated his life to "giving" all
to those who wanted him, all who had
faith in him. So, he placed his faith
in the faith they had in him as his only
reward. He was the ideal friend who
"lay down his life for his friends."
humans, afflicted fellowmen, fellow-
sufferers — the kind of friend we all need
and all want, the kind of friend we
can all have if we're trusting. And
chances are it will work both ways;
you have to be a friend to have a
friend — a logical theory of reciprocity.
"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
Good-Day Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is Powell Lames broadcasting
to you from the baseball diamond at
Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove,
Pa. It is a beautiful May afternoon
and the co-eds and fellows are all out
in spring attire for the game which
will be played here this afternoon at
3:00 p. m. Of course, as you all know,
or don't you. this baseball classic fea-
tures the initial clash of a three-game
series between the Beavertown "Mud-
hawks" and the Lewisburg "Jaybirds,"
being played on a neutral diamond,
here at S. U. But enough of that. Dur-
ing the short period while the teams
are warming up I'd like to give you a
few side lights on the audience of col-
lege students here in the bleachers.
Right below the press box we see a
foursome who are really good on a
dance floor. Higgins and Smith plus
Miller and Uphouse. You know, folks,
they say the paint on the floors at Sei-
bert just curls up under their swing-
aroo. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
have nothing on them.
Strolling down from the tennis
courts, Helen Hisdorf and Midge Pifer
certainly do make a nice appearance,
and we hear they're quite versatile at
the game, too.
And just look at that chattering
group making their entrance. If it isn't
Mary Appier and Frank Laudenslager
with their respective staffs. Well, we
don't blame them for taking a rest as
they did a fine job and we sincerely
wish to congratulate them for the ex-
cellent Lanthorn which they produced
this year. It was swell, Mary.
Also, speaking of the Lanthorn, here
comes one of the belles, you all saw
their pictures, Madelene Hayes with
Gracie and Marie. Two to one Gracie
is "hawking" for news. Just a second
till I find out the cause of all the
laughter down there. Ah— they just
sent the child prodigy out for the key
to the pitcher's box and she is half way
to the gym already. She certainly
knows her baseball. What?
Pardon us, while we buy a bit from
that vendor, who is tempting us with
a luscious Dixie cup. Hey Boy! Oh,
shucks, Jonnie, Wumpy, and Tewkes-
bury just bought him out. Girls, Girls,
don't you know you should leave food
alone between meals. It is said that
they haven't missed a midnight snack
since Christmas, and that's real regu-
larity.
All spring sports seem to be repre-
sented today — the golfers, von der
Hyde and Shrawder, just sat down and
now seem to be explaining some factor
in the game to Hutchinson. Hutch is
the girl who prefers gentlemen who
wear a tie and coat on campus.
Bill Nye and Nory, remember them,
are also here today and believe it or
not, they brought some books along to
: study. They certainly do believe in
| mixing business with pleasure. And
there's Walter Freed, the boy with
I the waves any girl envies, stopping by
! to talk to them. Rumor has it his
voice is quite the thing, but then the
conservatory has great developing
powers.
Well, Well, here comes Whitey. and
I do believe since his taking over the
Susquehanna he is getting a few more
wrinkles in his brow. However, you're
turning out a good sheet, Whitey, and
so keep it up.
That southern gentleman Richards,
accompanied by Miss Seitzinger, cer-
tainly typifies "Boy meets girl" but
they have nothing over the Powell-
Cleo duo.
Of all people, there's "Ace" Gren-
ninger with Booth. There's a rumor
around that these two boys went out
at midnite to practicalize their argu-
ment as to who was the greater broad
jumper. Ace finally won by doing
twelve feet with Booth falling short
by inches. Angie then gave a dance
to the winner.
Here come the "cut-ups"— Kniseley.
Dunkle, Cleaves, and Rogers — just a
bunch of juvenile pranksters. Where
| ever they go there's sure to be fun
! and what fun.
Well, we'd like to go on folks but the
old ball game's ready to start and so-o
we'll have to stop and if you'll tune
in next week at the same time you
can hear another series of the Cam-
pus Sidelights. Good-day. folks, and —
just a minute— tell Marie the baselines
can't talk — goodbye.

Away Games Lost
By Baseball Team
Pritchardites Lose Opener to Drexel
17-6, Lose Ten Inning Engagement
to Moravian, Outhit Both Rivals
Last week the Crusader baseball
team left the campus twice to play
games at Drexel and Bethlehem. Al-
though both games resulted in losses
for the locals, they proved one thing.
This year's team can hit. At Drexel
the Pritchardites outhit the Dragons
by five hits but lost by a one sided
score, 17-6. Playing the first confer-
ence game at Moravian, the Crusad-
ers lost a heartbreaking ten inning
game by the score of 10-9. In this
game the locals outhit their opponents
but to no avail.
The game at Philadelphia marked
Drexel's eleventh start of the season,
whereas the Crusaders took their first
look at strange pitching and a differ-
ent field. John Gensel started on the
mound for the locals and through little
fault of his own. got into trouble the
first inning. Two errors, two walks,
and two hits, including a triple by the
opposing shortstop, netted the Engin-
eers four runs in their half of the
inning. Sam Fletcher also got into
trouble after he had relieved Gensel in
the third, mainly because of errors,
walks, and plays which probably would
not have occurred if the locals had
played a few games before meeting the
Philadelphians.
The batting attack of the locals was
led by Bollinger, who hit a triple,
double and two singles in five trips to
the plate, and also by Bob Cornelius
with a double and two singles in five
attempts. In the eighth. Glenn Hauff
hit what would have been a home run
in most ball parks when he placed one
in the left field stands, but was given
a triple because of the existing ground
rules.

Last Wednesday the Crusaders took
to the road for their second away game
in three days. On this trip they met
Moravian College at Bethlehem, a team
which holds a membership in the new-
ly formed collegiate conference of
which Susquehanna is also a member.
After ten innings of grinding battle
the Crusaders lost their first confer-
ence game by a one run margin, 10-9.
As was the case at Drexel, the locals
suffered a bad first inning. In this
case, the opponents were successful in
pushing across four tallies by the aid
of two hits, a walk, and error. In the
third Moravian again scored, this time
they succeeded in pushing over two
earned runs, but in the fourth Susque-
hanna came through with two tallies
as a result of hits by Helt. Schleig.
and Keil. Then in the sixth Moravian
again scored a pair of runs and took
the lead by a score of 8-2, which they
held until the first half of the ninth.
It was in the locals' half of the ninth
that hits began to fill the air on the
newly dedicated diamond. On three
pitched balls from the hands of
Chucker" Brown, opposing pitcher,
Helt, Schleig. and Hazlet were on base
H a result of singles. "Whitey" Keil
then hit a long double into left field
which chased two runs over the plat-
er. From then on that inning was
narked with hits, runs, . and errors
which aided the boys from our campus.
When the artillery fire had finally
eased, Carl Helt's second hit of the
nning had driven in the tying run.
Glenn Hauff then decided that there
was something to pitch for and he
proceeded to set the opponents down
in order.
In the first half of the tenth, the
locals collected two hits with none
away, and after two men were retired
Bob Bastress came through with a hit
that drove in what should have been
| the score that would win the game
for the Pritchardites.
In the last of the tenth, Hauff re-
tired the first two batters in order but
then lost control and walked the next
two to face him. With two outs and
two strikes on Weiss, Moravian's cen-
terfielder, Hauff g rooved one and the
young lefthanded hitter cleared the
bases with a triple over the head of
Bob Bastress.
It was a tough game for the locals
to lose when they had come from be-
hind to tie the game and also outhit
their opponents.
The first home game was scheduled
to be held last Saturday against Al-
bright but rain Friday evening, and
cloudy skies, prevented the team from
Reading appearing here.
Weather permitting, Eliazbethtown
will appear here today in a confer-
ence game. Glenn Hauff is expected
to do the hurling for the Crusaders.

Intra-mural Board
Schedules Softball
The intra-mural board has released
its schedule of the class softball tour-
nament to be played this month. Boys
in the various classes of the college
are requested to note the dates of the
games.
March 4. Sophomores vs. Seniors.
May 6. Juniors vs. Freshmen.
May 11. Juniors vs. Sophomores.
May 13, Seniors vs. Freshmen.
May 18, Seniors vs. Juniors.
May 20. Seniors vs. Freshmen.
Bob Herr. president of the intra-
mural board advises all class presi-
dents to gather their teams together
and be ready to play at 4:45 sharp on
the afternoon that they are scheduled.
All games will be played on the softball
diamond which is located at the west-
ern end of the practice football field.
REVOLUTION
For years the white ball has been
tradition in baseball, but recently a
New York color engineer declared that
the color yellow would be better suited
to such a fast moving object as the
horsehide sphere. It is claimed in the
absence of a proper background for
the batter, the yellow ball would be
; better seen. A few days ago, the ex-
' periment was tried in a game between
the Fordham and Columbia teams.
While there was no noticeable differ-
ence as far as the hitters were con-
cerned. Jack Coffey, Fordham coach,
expressed himself as being in favor of
j the pallid ball. However, he also stat-
| ed that a decision cannot be based
1 upon a single test. Ford Frick, presi-
dent of the National League and re-
; cent Star Course speaker, described
', the appearance of the new ball by say-
ing that it resembled a case of sea-
sickness. To reassure those who dis-
! like to see the old order changed, Mr.
Frick also said that organized base-
j ball is slow in making changes and
I we can gather that the familiar white
pellet will remain the official ball for
some time to come.
THE LORD OF 'BOILY"
The peer of present umpire-baiters.
a hard-fighting manager is Burleigh
Grimes of Brooklyn's once Daffy
Dodgers. "Boily," as he is known to
Flatbush bleacherites, holds the un-
enviable record of being ejected from
two consecutive games for being too
vociferous in his objections to an um-
pire's decision. Grimes established his
mark last year when he was put out
of a Sunday game in Philadelphia and
on the next day was thumbed to the
clubhouse by an arbiter in Boston.
Nevertheless, Burleigh is well-liked by
the followers of Brooklyn major league
baseball. He represents a happier day
in Brooklyn baseball in that he was
the pitching mainstay of the last Flat-
bush aggregation to win the National
League pennant. This memorable event
occurred back in the post-war days of
1920. Brooklynites hope that the
Dodges manager will prove to be the
harbinger of a return of their baseball
prestige.
COLLEGIANS GO HOLLYWOOD
A movie land press release informs
us that Angelo "Hank" Luisetti. Stan-
ford's high scoring forward, has sign-
ed a contract with Paramount Pic-
tures and will make his first appear-
ance in a flicker called "Campus Con-
fession." Luisetti's signing recalls
other ex-college athletes who heeded
the call of the kliegs. Most prominent
are the football players namely: John
Mack Brown, Alabama's Ail-American
of a few years back, and "Cotton Top
I Warburton, the mighty mite of the
! University of Southern California.
j Ernie Nevers, Stanford luminary, also
j gave the pictures a brief fling, but
probably decided that football coach-
ing was his strong suit.
LOCAL LIGHTS
Susquehanna's Diamondeers staged a
regular American League scoring
spree to counter six runs in the first
half of the ninth inning of the Morav-
ian game and tie the score at eight all.
However, the victory was not to be the
Crusaders' who succumbed to Weiss'
triple with two on base in the final
half of the tenth inning. Glenn Hauff,
ace pitcher of the local mound staff,
started slow in the game at Bethlehem,
but once under way, showed all of his
old-time stuff. A valuable addition to
, the Susquehanna nine is the Reverend
Carl Helt, of Brady, Pa. Helt plays in
the outfield and at the plate wields a
bat with considerable authority. In the
big ninth inning of the aforementioned
Moravian game. Carl started the rally
with a double and later in the same
frame singled to drive Bob Bastress in
with the tying run of the game.

Net Team Divides
Opening Matches
The S. U. tennis team swung into
action last Tuesday by taking an 8-1
drubbing from Bucknell on the lat-
ter's home courts. Saunders, playing
No. 6 position for S. U.. saved the team
from a shutout by taking his match
from Crawford of Bucknell by scores
of 6-4 and 7-5. Hostetter, Gould, and
Williams, playing in positions 3, 4, and
5 respectively, carried their matches
to three sets before going down to de-
feat. Rakshys and Keim, playing in
the 1st and 2nd positions, went down
to defeat in straight sets before their
superior foes. Bucknell swept the three
doubles matches to make the final
score for the match 8-1.
On Friday the team went to Wyo-
missing where they met and defeated
the Wyomissing P. I. team 5-3 After
losing the two first singles matches,
the S. U. team swept the four remain-
ing singles matches and the first
doubles to give them five matches. One
other doubles match was lost by S. U.
and the final was called on account of
darkness with the score at one match
apiece.

If you are looking for laughs, if you
are looking for new songs, if you are
looking for new dances, then you are
looking for "Radio City Revels" with
Bob Burns, Kenny Baker, Victor
Moore. Jack Oakie. Milton Berle, Hel-
en Broderick. and Anne Miller in the
starring roles. "Radio City Revels" is
one of the fastest moving musical
comedies that has been produced in
Hollywood recently and you can be
sure that you will like it with such an
array of stars in the picture. Never
has Bob Burns been funnier and never
has Kenny Baker been so thrilling nor
has he sung so well as he has in
"Radio City Revels."
Thursday
"The Baroness and the Butler" with
William Powell and the new and lovely
foreign star, Annabella, in the stellar
roles in one show you just can't miss
seeing. It is the story of political life
in England with William Powell in the
role of the butler who opposes his
master as a candidate in the Parlia-
ment and wins the election. His em-
ployer is a very broad-minded man
and likes to have his butler oppose him
and fight him in the Parliament. Every
member of the family opposes the idea
except the head of the family himself.
You can imagine what trouble that
causes in a well regulated English
family. And then to add to the com-
plications Powell falls in love with the
beautiful daughter in the person of
Annabella who is already married to
another man. Complications set in
thick and fast after this. Finally Pow-
ell is discharged from his job but the
family find that they cannot seem to
get along without him. Everything is
finally settled to the satisfaction of all
concerned.
Other outstanding characters taking
leading roles are Henry Stephenson,
Helen Westley, and Joseph Schildkraut.
Powell and Annabella prove to be a
perface combination as a screen team
and each turns in a top-notch per-
formance.
Friday
One of the craziest and fast moving
comedies of one of the craziest fam-
ilies you have ever seen is portrayed
in "Merrily We Live." With such out-
standing players as Constance Bennett.
Brian Aherne. Alan Mowbray. Billie
Burke. Bonita Granville, and Tom
Biown you can be assured of a perfect
evening of entertainment.
Brian Aherne in the role of a novel-
ist loses his car in an accident and
gets himself employed as the chauffeur
of this crazy family. And the longer
he stays the more crazy things they
seem to do. All the while they all think
that he is merely a tramp who is will-
ing to do anything to get some sort of
a living and all the while he la getting
excellent material for his book. While
he is working for this madcap family
he falls in love with the beautiful
daughter in the person of Constance
Bennett and neither of them Ls willing
to admit love for the other. It is a
story of many thrills and laughs that
you will not forget for many a day and

day.
here in conjunction with the Band-
master's Convention and thirty-five
who were here from the high schools
who contributed members to the All-
Masters' Band.
Speaking of the band concert Prof.
Allison says: "I feel that this year's
festival band was the most responsive
that we have had. Although the com-
plete performance did not quite mea-
sure up to the standard desired, Uw
high school musicians who were ban
carried away many new things. The
conventions' being held here in con-
junction with the Band Festival and
the clinics was definitely an influence
gone forward to make bands more
musical, artistic, and pleasing to the
eye. As experimentation goes on it is
hoped that the All-Master Band Fes-
tival will serve in the capacity for the
betterment and rightful place of wind
band tones in the music world as the
famous Bok choir and Festival, held
at Bethlehem. Pennsylvania has MCTtd
for perpetuation of fine choral music."
Mr. Allison also stated that there is
a great possibility that some of tbc
DlctUTM taken over the week-end will
be sent to "Life."
Before Lieutenant Eckenroth handed !
Mr. Allison the baton, to begin the con-
cert, he presented him with a medal j
from the Pennsylvania Bandmasters i
Association.

Don't think yourself a censor,
Of the silly human flock;

And I more than half think that
many a kink would be smoothed in
life's tangled thread, if one-half that
we say in a single day, would be left
forever unsaid.
There are four points on the best
way to get along with other people:
1. Avoid censoriousness (being over
critical).
2. Have a sense of humor.
3. Be considerate of people's per-
sonalities.
4. Avoid "super-sensitiveness."
And just as a concluding remark
from the scrapbook, there's this quo-
tation from Joanquin Miller which
we've heard over and over again but
fits in very well at this point:
"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot;
I hesitate to draw a line
Between the two where God has not."
the alleged time spent, a goodly amount is spent on the reading
of such features as the sports and comic sections leaving only a
very few minutes for genera] news. In a daily newspaper, the
most important section is its space devoted to the news of the
day, local, national, and international. It is from this section

are times when we come into contact with people who follow cur-

CRUSADER NINE SCORES WIN OVER
GETTYSBURG IN ONE-SIDED TILT
-<$-
Lefty
Krouse, Freshman Hurler, Makes His Debut
B yLimiting Battlefield Nine to Seven Hits.
Homesters Hit Three Pitchers Hard
*-
Last Thursday Gettysburg^ unbeaten
baseball team stopped on our campus
for a few hours and In that time they
suffered their first defeat of the cur-
rent season by a one sided score of 11-4.
Previous to their loss to the Pritchard-
ites the boys from the battlefield had
beaten such teams as Navy, Penn,
Maryland, and Penn State.
Coach Bob Pritchard called on Lefty
Krouse to do the mound work for the
Crusaders and needless to say he turn-
ed in a real performance. During the
game Krouse struck out three men and
issued but three bases on balls. Krouse's
dazzling slants cut the corners in such
a manner as to have the opponents
popping fly balls to the infield and
outfield. The young freshman was
never In trouble.
The visiting lineup got off to an
early lead by scoring one run in the
second on two hits and one in the
third on two hits. In the fourth the
Crusaders came to life and scored four
runs on as many hits. Helt singled,
Wert singled, Hazlett singled, Schleig
walked, Krouse was on base by means
of an error and then Ford came
through with a single to drive in the
third and fourth runs. This rally prac-
tically put the game on the "ice" for
the home team because the Bullets were
unable to encounter the Hazlett cap-
tained team from that point till the
end of the game.
In the sixth the Gettysburg infield
went to pieces as the Crusaders scored
six runs on one clean hit. Four bases
on bails and four errors saw Ford, Bas-
tress, Bollinger, Helt, Hauff, and
Krause score.
Gettysburg came back with a run in
the sixth and a run in the seventh by
means of a hit and two errors.

Tracksters Prep for
Meet With Albright
The Orange and Maroon cinder-path
trotters remained idle last week when
the scheduled meet with Seaton Hall
College here was cancelled. In a prac-
tice track meet on University Field
with Selinsgrove High School on Wed-
nesday, May 4, the Crusaders had little
difficulty in bowling over the local high
school team.
Bill Pritchard captured both the 100-
yard and 220-yard dashes; Joe Pritts
snd Newton Mabus took first places in
the quarter-mile and half-mile events
•espectively; Harry Thatcher won the
mile event. In the 120-yard low
lurdles. Bill Pritchard and Ken Kin-
ney captured second and third places
espectively. John Learn and Glenn
Wusser tied for first place in the pole-
>ault at nine feet. Pritchard repeated
lis performances in the dashes with a
irst place in the high jump, with a
ump of five feet, four ipches.
On Saturday, May 14, the Orange
md Maroon tracksters journey to
Reading, where they will encounter
^bright College. On the following
Tuesday the Crusaders will be hosts to
31oomsburg State Teachers College.
Hie Orange and Maroon track aspir-
ants have engaged in only one inter-
collegiate track meet this season and
they are particularly anxious to engage
in the coming meet with Albright on
Saturday. Although only four veterans
have returned this year, Coach Stagg
has discovered plenty of material from
the present sophomore and freshmen
classes to develop a formidable track
Crusaders Drop Duo
Of Diamond Games
Last Tuesday, the Crusader baseball
team made its initial appearance on
the home field with Elizabethtown Col-
lege being the locals' opponents. After
nine innings of play in mud and rain,
the visitors' lineup came out on top
by the score of 10-8. Glenn Hauff, who
pitched for the Crusaders, did a mar-
velous job in limiting the visitors to
eight hits, most of them being of the
scratch type. Faulty fielding from the
hands of the boys in Susquehanna's
inner cordon, caused three E-Town
runs to cross the home plate totally
unearned. In this game as in all the
singles and Don Ford, who hit a triple,
double, and a single in five tries at the
plate.
In this game, as in all previous
games, the Pritchardites outhit their
opponents. This time the hits stood
nine to six.

Moravian Game
Last Saturday, before a large crowd
which was here due to the Band Fes-
tival, the Crusader baseball line-up lost
its fourth game of the season to the
Moravian College boys by the score of
6-4. The game was the kind most
spectators like to see. Good fielding,
clean hitting, and fast play throughout,
kept the interest of the majority of |
those present until the last man was |
retired in the ninth inning. Glenn
Hauff. Susquehanna's ace pitcher, was
on the mound, and during the nine
innings he gave up but six hits, while
his teamsters were getting nine off
Long, Moravian's chucker.
For the first three innings neither
team succeeded in tallying a score. In
the fourth inning, however, the visitors
pushed over two runs by means of a
walk, a batter being hit. and then two

Crusaders Trip Two
Net Foes, Lose One
Last week the S. U. tennis team had
a successful week, winning two matches
and losing one. On Monday they met
and defeated Elizabethtown College in
a league match by the score of 5-2.
Gould, Hostetter, Rakshys, and Saun-
ders won their singles matches to clinch
the decision while Williams lost his
match. In the doubles Hostetter and
Gould came through with a win in the
No. 1 match while Rakshys and Wil-
liams lost theirs in three close sets.
On the following day S. U. played a
superior Lebanon Valley team and were
handed their first whitewash of the
season to the tune of 7-0. Although the
S. U. team put up a good fight they
were playing superior foes which re-
sulted in Lebanon Valley taking all
matches.
Saturday saw the S. U. team return
to the win column again against Scran-
ton-Keystone Jr. College by the score
of 6-3. S. U. split the singles matches
and swept the doubles for their victory.
Hostetter. Rakshys. and Saunders, play-
ing in positions 1. 4. and 5 respectively,
won in singles while Williams, Gould,
and Keim, playing in positions 2, 3,
and 6 respectively, lost their matches.
In the doubles competition the No. 1
doubles. Gould and Hostetter, the No.
2 doubles. Rakshys and Williams, and
the No. 3 doubles, Saunders and Keim,
of S. U. came through in close matches
for a clean sweeep.
Susquehanna plays two matches this
week away from home. The team plays
Dickinson on Friday and Moravian on
Saturday. The latter team belongs to
the league which Susquehanna has
joined. The coach is going to give the
team a stiff workout this week with the
hope of gathering two victories.

One of the most thrilling stories ever

"Buccaneer" is a story of the never to |

hunted by some government in the

loyalty to the United States proved in-
valuable at a time when they needed

where LaFitte calls his men together
out of hiding in the wamps. And out-

Other outstanding actors in the cast

Contest; Lucille Singleton Expresses Hope for
Choir to Sing Over Network Again
#
beiner; Jack P' well is Male Head
Last fall, the Columbia Broadctsting |
m introduced a novel choral con- |
test to find the best amateur choral
group in the United States. The "Col- '
umbia Choral Quest", as the contest !
was called, aroused immediate interest \
all over the country. Numerous college
and university choirs, including Po-
mona. Amherst, Princeton. Cincin-
nati Conservatory, North western, \
Florida State. University of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio State entered. The rules |
of the contest were that no choir should
exceed forty members, and no member
should be more than twenty- five years
of age. The prize was an extended two-
tour over the United States. These
rules laid, the actual quest began. Each
week, for a series of programs that
lasted several months, the various
choirs broadcasted. Each was given a
half-hour period. On Saturday, January
29 our own Motet Choir joined the con-
test, singing from Columbia's Philadel-
phia station. Included on the program
were "Ave Regina Caelorum". "Hosanna
to the Son of David." Beautiful Savior."
"Lullaby at Christmas Eve", and "The
Magnificant". Last week, in a letter
from Miss Lucille Singleton. Columbia
audition director. Dr. Paul Ovrebo, was
informed that the Motet Choir had
been awarded second place, losing first
place to Ohio State University by a
very close margin. The choirs were
judged for intonation, musical accuracy,
in'erpertive power, choice of program
and unanimity of tone.
Miss Singleton said that the work of
the choir was greatly appreciated by
Columbia, and she expressed her hope
that the choir would again sing over
the network. This wish was echoed by
every member of the choir, because
everyone felt that the broadcast was
one of the greatest thrills of the entire
trip. We feel that winning even second
place in such a contest was quite a
distinct honor, when we consider the
scope of the contest and the size of the
other schools that participated.
Much praise is due both Mr. Fred-
erick Stevens and Dr. Ovrebo— to the
former for his discriminate choice of
program, and untiring work in train-
ing and directing the choir; and io the
latter for booking the very worthwhile
and profitable broadcast. Susquehanna
feels proud indeed that its choir has
made such a definite place for itself in
the musical world.

in Europe Mrs. Weatherbee meets

some Hindu philosopher, who influ-
her to become a backer of this
new cult. She brings him to America
and sets about getting her family and
friends to join. Her son Q. Norris
Weatherbee. is the only one skeptical
I of the genuineness of Swami B'hami
and is thoroughly disgusted, especially
when his fiancee. Eleanor Cabot-Lodge.

plot deepens as a romance buds and a
i mysterious robbery takes place. The
i whole affair in the end is favorably
; concluded for everyone concerned.

FROM A SCRAPBOOK"
Analysis
The record of Susquehanna's teams in spring sports may
not be an imposing one but it is one thai merits consideration.
The calibre of the opponenl or the closeness of the score should
be considered. Let us look at the individual records of our three
representatives in spring competition.
The baseball team shows a record of live losses and two
wins. On the surface it would seem that we have nothing about
which to boast, but when we analyse the record we see that
there is some room for pardonable pride. In only one game, the
first of the season, was there a lop-sided score against us. The
other contests lost were all of the close ami heart-breaking var-
iety with the result hanging on the elusive "breaks" of the game.
Susquehanna's victories were registered over pre-game favorites
ami might be classed as upsets. One contest in particular show-
ed the baseball team winner over a team of proven reputation.
The tennis team has its best record in recent years. The
opposition in most cases had the edge over the Susquehanna
representatives but always received well-contested matches, no
matter who wins. This year's team is bearing fruit from the hard
work done in years when the sport was being revived at Sus-
quehanna.
The track team has had only two meets and lias gone to
defeat in both engagements. However, the plaint of overwhelm-
ing opponents must Again be raised. Regardless of the results
of the contests. Susquehanna has some men entered) who turn
in commendable individual performances.
With the facts as presented we can see that all is not black
with the Susquehanna athletic picture. When all the issues are
weighed we can feel that our representatives in present sports
are doing justice to the school and that with the continued sup-
port of the student body better days are to be expected.
■
Frequently we hear the wise crack on
the campus . . . "just who do you think
you are" . . . We'll try to let you in on
the secret . . .
We are the fellow who always seems
to be getting our seasons mixed . . .
we go to the shore for sunshine, and
find rain; we try the mountains to get
cool, and find a tropical heat wave . . .
we go skiing and the snow is melted . . .
We like to fish, and in the winter we
hear glowing reports of this and that
place where the fish are unusually thick
. . . after saving the necessary lucre and
going to the fisherman's paradise the
fish just don't bite ... or the water is
too high , , , or the wind too strong . . .
We are the fellow who goes to class
every day. and misses one class in the
year ... at that time we miss library
assignment, an examination, and the
prof doesn't come to class the next
time . . .
Little Lady Make Believe: —
A tiny girl all dressed up in her
mother's old shoes ... a long trailing
gown that had once been the pride and
joy of the ball . . . ear rings, slightly-
tarnished, but useful . . . gloves that
the fingers don't meet . . . glowing
words of praise and sentiment from
the father . . . the above is just a part
of a new "gulp" song that we've been
hearing a lot lately, and think is pretty
swell ... we like "Little Lady Make '
Believe" a lot.
Life's Heartbeats: —
Two years ago he was hailed as a
great star on the stage ... he had
several Broadway successes . . . thence
to Hollywood a la screen test and a la
nice fat contract . . . but he disap-
peared and was heard of no more . . . j
then as the saying goes, the worm
turned and he got a break ... he
starred in the most popular film ever
produced ... yet he gets no box office
publicity, or screen mentioning ... his
name is Harry Stockwell. the prince of
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
I glanced over my favorite poems
this time and chose a few which you've
probably heard numerous times, but I
don't think repetition will do any
harm. You know, every now and then
someone makes some remark about
life— "It's a great life if you don't
weaken," "What a life," "Life's a bowl
of cherries," et cetera. Is it all right
for me to start out with my favorite
expression— "Life is what you make
it"? How very true, yet how hard for
all of us to realize that the only thing
wrong with life is the way we live it.
That's where all the elements of char-
acter enter into the picture. Living the
wrong kind of life? Then why blame it
for giving you a raw deal? You have
to give a whole lot to expect any-
thing in return, and it has to be pretty
good to expect good. You can't trade
plain paper for dollars, they say. It's a
matter of choice, then— good or evil.
The quality of our thoughts, the level
of our characters, what we think, what
we decide determine our lives. The
sadness of living and the bitterness of
the struggle lie in the way and the
methods. And, when you do it the
right way, offering your best in the
contest, even the pain of losing isn't
nearly as harsh. Our good points form
the armor to wear in the fighting of
life's so-called "battles." Bluff and
empty show are too easily pierced.
"Life is what you make it" — and any-
time you think you are being abused,
stop being a martyr and find out why.
I'm willing to bet anything that really
seems terribly wrong to us is our own
fault. If you can eliminate the un-
pleasant yourself, half the victory's
won. It's just the philosophy brought
out by Henley in "Invictus" that makes
it my favorite poem: "I am the master
of my fate; I am the captain of my
soul!" There's another quotation from
Walter Winkle which I like because it
gives you the feeling that there is a
chance no matter what the odds:
"Success begins with a fellow's will—
It's all in the state of mind.
*< 'K * * * * • * *
Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest and fastest man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can."
Battles of life-like athletic contests;
the good sport always "wins" whether
he wins or loses due to the quality of
his game. Make yourself a good sport
in life and follows its code of sports-
manship. It's bound to make a big
difference in your attitude toward
humanity. And, just as a concluding
thought, here's a little poem which says
a good bit and really means as much:
Sportsmanship
"O God. in the battle that goes on in
life,
I ask but a chance that is fair.
A field that is open to all in the strife,
And the courage to do and to dare,
And if I should win, let it be by the
code.
With my faith and my honor held
high;
And if I should lose, let me stand by
the road
And cheer as the winners go by.
God. help me to conquer if conquer I
can,
By proving my worth in the fray
Or help me to lose like a regular man
And not like a craven, I pray.
Let me take off my hat to the warriors
who strode
To the victory splendid and high.
God. teach me to stand by the side of
the road
And cheer as the winners go by."

The Homestretch
Every good runner knows that he must have a Strong fin-
ishing drive in order to win a race. Without a burst of speed
near the close of the distance, he cannot hope to he a victor in
pressing competition. This same principle finds close appli-
cation in the academic year. A good finish will mean much
toward gaining a good mark. Only two weeks remain until ex-
aminations and in that time the student must maintain a good
average or must better his present average. He can do this only
by application to his studies. We realize That at this time of
the year, there is a wealth of ext racurrirular Activity in pro-
gress which diverts many of us from the primary pupose of
College. However, even though we should participate in these
activities, it is also well for us to endeavor to keep up with
school work. To the persons who "foot the bill," our parents,
our marks are a very good indication of the calibre of school
work we are doing. Harely a student may pain a great deal
out of the classroom and still have the type of marks which are
not pointed to with pride. Even a student of this category has
difficulty in proving the worthwhileness of his college time and
expenses. The work accomplished in the home-stretch of The
year will have effect upon the professor's marking. It is with
sincerity that Tiik Sisojkiian'Na urgei all students to make an
honest effort to improve academic standing in the remaining
few weeks.

On Success: — .
One of those words in the King's
English that is about 95.45 % hollow is
this word "success". Depicting a suc-
cessful man in our imagination we
think of a guy who week-ends at the
shore, winters in Florida, summers in
the north woods, goes to swell shows,
drives a convertable coupe a la Packard
or La Salle, and dresses like the ex-
Prince of Wales. But catch this man in
real life and you'll probably see him
working like a coolie to protect his suc-
cess, worrying like a Republican be-
fore an election, and his headaches and
enemies multiply by an infinite amount.
Point out the successful man, and you'll
be looking at an honest-to-goodness
worker.
Thisa 'n Thatte:—

chestras of the country have been en-
gaging in sort of a "round robin" of

language this means that leaders have
lured key men away from other or-
chestras in order to build up their own
band. Now seeing as how some bands
spend years in developing key men that
will lend charm and distinctiveness to
their type of music, and also seeing as
how thousands of dollars are spent in
arrangements suited to one, and one
band only, this "swapping" back and
forth can have none other than a det-
rimental effect. J. Dorsey suggests a
pledge by orchestra leaders against
"lifting" men from other orchestras.
Sounds good to us . . . what thinkest
thou?
Sentimental Stories:—
Somehooooo, everyone's heart goes
out for a person who is handicapped no
end at the beginning, and then comes
thru with a smashing finish. We refer
to a guy we heard from Hollywood the
other night. He's cognomened Alex
Tempelton and despite the fact that
he's blind, he's a current piano sen-
sation at the Cocoanut Grove. Another
is Billy Lankin who is a veritable in-
ferno when he starts pounding the
ivories and vocalizing. Diners stop a
two buck meal to marvel at his capaci-
ties and often join in the singing. Yet
this same guy has but one arm and
his one leg is useless. Bowls of orchids
to people like that.
Things We Like on the Radio:—
Gene Austin's singing of Joe Penner's
Sunday night program . . . Duke El-
lington's new hit "I Let A Song Go
Out of My Heart" . . . Billy Hayes'
band a la Stork Club and Hotel Taft

Road Games Split
By Pritchardites
Lefty Krouse Limits Upsala to Seven
Hits in Winning His Second Start,
Rutgers Wins in Ninth 4-3
Last Tuesday and Wednesday the
Crusader baseball team under the guid-
ing hand of Coach Bob Pritchard,
traveled into the regional areas of New
York City to encounter Upsala College
at East Orange and Rutgers University
at New Brunswick. The first game
proved to be an easy slugfest for the
locals by the score of 8-5. The second
game was a close affair from start to
finish with Rutgers coming from be-
hind in the last four innings to win
over the locals 4-3. Both games were
well played from every stand point with
good fielding and timely hitting being
in vogue.
I'psala Game
"Lefty" Krouse was on the mound
for Susquehanna with Wright, Upsala
ace, being his opponent. In the first
half of the first inning the Crusaders
had a good scoring opportunity when
Ford singled, was sacrificed to second
but was left stranded on the paths as
the next two men flied out. In the last
of the first, Upsala pushed across two
runs by means of a hit, a walk, a sacri-
fice, and a blocked throw which went
wide of the catcher. Bob Cornelius, at
the plate. In the second inning the
Pritchardites evened the score when
Schleig singled, Wert polled a long
tripple, and Krouse singled down the
left field line. Prom this outburst on,
the game was distinctly Susquehanna's
as "Lefty" Krouse proceeded to turn
in his second mound victory in as many
starts. After the first inning the young
freshman was in danger but once, that
being the seventh when he weakened
temporarily and allowed three runs to
cross the platter.
In the Upsala Game as in all other
games this season the Crusaders out-
hit their opponents. In this case the
local's bats broke forth with sixteen
solid bingles. John Schleig and Don
Wert led the visiting batsmen, the for-
mer getting 4 hits out of 5 trips to
the plate including a triple while Wert
poled out a home-run and a triple. The
home-run was probably the hardest hit
ball to come off the locals' bats this
season. Wert, whose running has been
handicapped by a bad knee, was on
third base when the oposition's center-
fielder picked the ball up in deep out-
field. Krouse, Bastress, and Ford all
had two hits for four times at bat in j
this game.
Score by innings:
Susquehanna 022000310 8
Upsala 200000300 I
Errors: Susquehanna Hazlett 2, Bol-
iinger 1. Ford 1. Upsala Wright 1. Fisk !

Rutgers Game
Last Wednesday the Hazlett captain-
ed team met Rutgers University at East
Orange, N. J., the final score being
4-3 in favor of the home team. Coach
Bob Pritchard called on Sam Fletcher,
lanky freshman, to do the mound work
for the afternoon and he oppoed Stead-
man who had previously won victories
over Princeton and Virginia.
Both teams went scoreless for the
first four innings although Rutgers
threatened in the first when a single
into left field got through Carl Helfs
hands and went for three bases. How-
ever. Fletcher pitched himself out of
this hole by fanning a man and making
the next two men pop fly to the infield.
In the fifth the Crusaders put across
three runs. Wert was safe on an error.
Fletcher singled. Ford then singled
Wert across and Bastress chased Ford
and Fletcher over the plate. In the
same inning Rutgers cored a run on a
hit, a sacrifice, and a single. This made
the score board read 3-1 in the Cru-
saders' favor and it remained the same
until the eighth.
In the eighth Rutgers tied the score
by means of a single, a walk, a sacri-
fice, and another single. The Pritchard-
ites came to bat in the first half of
the ninth and succeeded in loading the
bases. Hazlett grounded out but Sam
Fletcher singled, Ford beat out a bunt,
and then Bastress walked; but the next
two Crusaders struck out.
The run that won the game for Rut-
gers was gotten in the following man-
ner. The leadoff man of the inning was
hit by a pitched ball and was sacrificed I
to second, the next man dribbled to
Fletcher who tossed him out at first. !
Steadman. Rutger's pitcher then won j
his own game by hitting a single nto •
left feld.

just hearing him this time you can
actually see Charlie turn on his person-
ality and show us just how he gets
around. (Mostly on Bergen's Knee).
That long time favorite of the screen
and stage, Adolph Menjou, plays an
important part in the role of the fa-
mous show director. Then for more
laugrus the ever hilarious Ritz Broth-
ers do their stuff to keep you continual-
ly in a good humor. The much re-
nowned Zorina gives an excellent per-
formance with Kenny Baker and An-
drea Leeds coming in for their share

of previous stories and presents many
momenta of thrills and suspense. These
three outstanding stars give their best
and prove themselves to be actors of

raying the difficult roles in this Orental
letting. All the charm, enchantment,
and the mysticism of the East is in-
eluded in this story of the great Chinese
metropolis.

is complete unless it has a good story j
of romance connected with it and in ;
"Cassidy of the Bar-20" William Boyd, j
as well as being the hardest riding j
cowboy on the range, is also the most
romantic of them all and finds a match
for his romantic tendency in the per-
son of lovely Nora Lane Their little
romance adds much to the enjoyment
of the picture and gives it just what it
needs to make it an outstanding story
of the old West.

Our Forebears
This issue of The gu&QUBHANNA celebrates the Eightieth
Anniversary of Susquehanna University and records some ac-
tivities of the school at the present day. To many of us, the his-
tory of called up before our mind's eye. We go back to the stories
and legend* of the founding of Susquehanna by Dr. Benjamin
Kurtz and of the struggles of the early Missionary Institute. If
we walk down to Selinsgrove, a building is pointed out to us as
the first building of the institution. Other landmarks are cited
and we hear from life long residents accounts of the school in the
years before the turn of the present century. Many times have
we been told of the formation of the first athletic teams at Sus-
quehanna, the building of additional buildings, and of the growth
of the student body. It is exceedingly difficult to imagine the
campus with only Selinsgrove Hall, in which all the features
of the school were housed. However, from humble beginnings,
Susquehanna University has come a long way. Through the
years, buildings have been added to the plant of the college, co-
education found its place as an integral part of the school, and
the scope of the service done has been greatly widened.
Today students find reminders of the pioneer days in the
memorials and portraits of early men of Susquehanna which are
placed in classrooms and other buildings. To us these memorials
are merely remnants of the past ami have no connection with
■ be present day. However, we should keep in mind that if it
had no! been for the men whose portraits we see there would
probably be no Susquehanna University celebrating its Eight-
ieth Anniversary. Had there been no one in the early days who
labored, worried, and had the cause at heart, our school would
have passed from the picture long ago. Through the years, there
has always been some one who has taken it upon himself to see
that the fortunes of the University ran smoothly. It is beeause
of these people that we are able to enjoy the advantages of the
present. We, of Susquehanna University, have a splendid aca-
demic heritage that has progressed as the years west by. It is
with sincrity that The Susquehanna asks for a greater rever-
ence of the great names in the glorious history of our Alma
Mater. If it were possible, we would advocate that a shrine be
established in memory of our forefathers. We extend our wishes
for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and continued success in the years
to come.
S
FROM A SCRAPBOOK"
it
To The Graduates
Another Senior Class graduates. The word we wish to say
is a wish for success and of happiness in no matter which of the
several pursuits of life you are going to follow. Your four years
in school have undoubtedly brought you much in the way of
associations, and the satisfaction of work well done. Those of
us who still have a year, two years, and even three years before
our commencements have valued the friendships which Ave have
formed with you. We realize that in all the activities of Sus-
quehanna, the Class of 1988 has contributed a great deal to the
common fund that is Susquehanna. Members of your class have
been leaders on the campus in every worthwhile activity, whether
it be of the academic kind, work on publications, social activity,
religious work, or competition in athletics. From the Univer-
sity you go out to all different callings. It is hoped that the
memory of your days in college will be a happy one. The under-
graduate body extends a heart-felt invitation to return to the
campus whenever it is possible for you to do so. We wish you
to feel that even though you are graduating, Susquehanna is
still your school and will continue to be so. It is our hope that
the influence of Susquehanna will always be with you. As you
are about to graduate we express our hope for the best of life
to you and OUT wish, "Lots of Luck."

The Registrar requests that all organiaztions submit in
writing before June 4 the dates of the various social func-
tions for 1938-1939.
Swan Song:: —
With this issue, yours truly does the
proverbial "swan song" with respect to
future columns in our campus paper.
We've enjoyed immensely writing for
you and hope that, once in awhile,
some person accidentally happened to
glance over our efforts. This also con-
cludes our fourth year with the paper
and hope we never regret the fun we've
had fooling around with it.
Deceitful Hollywood: —
What fools we mortals be ... or
"there's one born every minute" . . .
all of which is to say that we patrons
of the cinema palace quite frequently
have the wool pulled over our eyes.
Lest you doubt my word I offer you
the most famous Chinese in the motion
picture city, a Swede . . . Warner Oland
by name, remember him? Or then
there is a Hungarian named Peter
Lorre who poses as a famous Japan-
ese. And a promising Norwegian nam-
ed Sigrid Gurie who really comes from
Brooklyn . . . certainly not the habitat
for a colony of Swedes . . . and if we
cared to go further, there are scores of
others. But who cares? Maybe we like
to be fooled.
Rugged Individualism: —
Most of us are quite aware of the
individualistic nature of Greta Garbo,
and her famous "I vant to be alone"
statements. But perhaps you didn't
know about two men, prominent in
the newspapers, who are even more
alone than the famed actress. I refer
to Mr. Ickes and Justice Hugo Black.
The former says no helium to Ger-
many. The prexy of Uncle Sammy, the
secretaries of war, state, navy, trea-
sury, and commerce, and half of Con-
gress have said "yes", but the stout sec-
retary returns his booming "No." Jus-
tice Black, you will remember, was the
latest appointment of President Roose-
velt to the Supreme Court. He was the
scene of much controversy because of
affiliations with the Ku Klux Klan.
Since taking his seat he has dissented
from the majority of the Court thir-
teen times, and of these dissents, nine
times he stood alone. Positively the
loneliest man in town.
m ■ ■
Air: —
"Just Entertainment" starring the
Andrews Sisters and Jack Fulton . . .
Billy Hayes, and his rollicking theme
song. "Looney Little Tooney" . . . Bunny
Berrigan's new high in trumpet toot-
ing . . . Gene Austin's mike moanings
on Joe Penner's program . . . Dolores
Reed, about who two years ago we
wondered why some orchestra didn't
snatch her up ... a grand new tune,
"Drifting with the Tide" . . . you'll hear
a lot of it in the near future . . . ditto
for "Says My Heart" . . . the newer
Jimmy Dorsey's CBS swinging . . . any
number written by George Gershwin.
Paradoxical: —
We read in the paper the other day
a story of one Harry Fender. Several
years ago, he abandoned a brilliant
singing career at $1,500 per week to
become a cop. Now we all know cops
don't make V-z g's per week. Now, af-
ter a lapse of several years, this same
Harry turns up. Seems as if single-
handed he saved two lives in an at-
tempted hold-up. He is well built,
happy as a lark, makes only one-sev-
enth of his former salary, but he is
healthy, settled, he enjoys what he is
doing, and has dismissed the vagaries
about his health. We wonder if this
Harry guy isn't wiser than a tree full
of owls.
Ballot and Id- ballot: —
William Butler Yeats ,an Irish poet
was once caught hurrying out of a
theatre in the middle of a performance
of John McCormack's thrush-like
warbling. Asked how he liked the sing-
ing, Yeats groaned . . . "the dreadful
clarity of those words. Everyone of
them could be heard."
Heart Loop-the-Loop: —
One Guenther Reinhardt, once A-l
"in-man" with Hitler and staff, had
boasted until recently that he had nev-
er received a rejection slip for any of
his articles. And to prove that he is
good, we might say that his articles are
plastered all over the better mags in
I the country. Writes about internation-
al affairs and stuff. But imagine the
pinkish hue his countenance assumed,
when after sending an article to a
small mage named "Liberty," he re-
ceived a courteous and polite refusal of
said submitted article. He couldn't be-
lieve his orbs, but determined to find
out manner of person should be so
dense as to refuse one of hie sterling
articlec. He found out ... an attrac-
tive young think. Says the petite miss
... "I can't help it; the thing Is punk."
(P. S. They middle aisled It a week
later.)
I have a short article pasted away
in my scrapbook to which I've really
never paid much attention, but, just
recently, that little article has come to
be the source of a good deal of think-
ing on my part. Maybe you'd like to
hear a little about it, too. If nothing
else, it says a whole lot that is true no
matter how and when you look at it.
It's understandable and practical and
very frank. Why talk about it now?
Well, any time is the right time for
this particular subject, and what's
more, there isn't any single one of us
who can feel that he is above it. We
can all be guilty and chances are we
have been, even if it was unconsciously.
And so I don't think I'll be giving you
anything that wouldn't be common and
comprehensible. The first paragraph
starts, "Masochists — you know what
they are? They are a pitiful but ex-
tremely disgusting type of neurotics
who get a thrill out of suffering pain."
It does sound a trifle silly, but you
must admit it is very true. You see it
in your homes, in school, everywhere,
and you can feel pretty clever when
you can detect it and the reasons for
it. Otherwise, It strikes you as a ter-
ribly sad state of affairs and you wear
yourself out thinking of some good
ways to aid the "afflicted." But, on the
contrary, it is abuse and adversity they
seek, the dark side of life, the human
injustices. Then, they go on moaning
about their wrongs, longing to impress
you with all they have to take, people
don't understand them, friends exploit
them, superiors take advantage of
them, loved ones insult them, and all
the time not an ounce of gratitude for
their catering, undying devotion! How
many times have you met these mar-
tyrs who have none to appreciate them
and all the wonderful things they do?
| It sounds rather convincing until you
wonder why life is so cruel to them,
and then you discover that it's a swell
gag and you can even see what's be-
neath it. The writer calls it a case of
sick egotism — "to save oneself, to
achieve one's place in the sun — that is
the first law of humanity. In some form
or other, we all obey that law. Some of
use put ourselves on record by honest,
healthy achievement. Others achieve
importance by more warped methods,
The masochists belong to this class and
so do the self-pityers and martyrs . . .
boasting of their wallops yet invariably
refusing to bring action."
Silly? Very much so, but so easy to
become a like victim. Evidently, it gives
one a good feeling to kept a hurt alive
and continually it keeps something on
one's mind for lack of anything better
to think about. Then, when nothing
else is present to absorb attention, the
masochist can withdraw to his dark,
secluded corner and weep over his mis-
eries and really enjoy them. Unhappy?
Not a bit of it! If you really want to
make a person like that unhappy, take
away his present abuses, offer him
some good practical help, try to give
him some sound advice on how to find
a bit of joy and gladness, and there
you have him. You've actually threat-
ened to ruin his publicity stunt, "for
what can they use for publicity if you
take away their tears, and how could
they be different if you handed them a
regular life?" It won't work— they
won't give up that quickly the secret of
seeking sympathy because they can't
be happy unless they are seemingly un-
happy. Why do I bring it up now?
Well, as I've said, it happens all around
us and each one of us is likely to resort
to it in one way or another because
"Man wants sympathy." And, when it
comes to a contest as to the survival of
the most masochistic, it will be diffi-
cult to pick a winner among us all.
As a decided contrast, I'm reminded
of a speech in "Gone With the Wind,"
j which is related to this in a way. Old
Qrandma Fontaine says it to Scarlet
after the war was over and the South
; a mere shadow of its former self :
, "We're not wheat, we're buckwheat.
When a storm comes along, it flattens
ripe wheat because it's dry and can't
i bend with the wind. But ripe buck-
i wheat is like sap in it and it bends.
When the wind has passed, it springs
up almost as straight and strong as
before. We're not a stiff-necked tribe;
we're mighty limber when a strong
wind's blowing . . . When trouble comes,
we bow to the inevitable without any
mouthing, and we work and we smile."

On May the tenth and eleventh the
locals traveled to East Orange and
New Brunswick, N. J., to meet Upsala
and Rutgers. Krouse was on the
mound at Upsala, and with the aid of
faultless fielding and powerful hitting
on the part of Helt, Schleig, and Wert
the Crusaders drove across eight runs Keil 8

on sixteen hits to defeat the highly
touted Upsala team by the score of
8-5. At Rutgers the Crusaders lost one
of the hardest fought games of the
current season. 8e.m Fletcher's dazz-
ling knuckle ball had the home team
popping into the air most of the af-
ternoon. Fletcher gave up but five hits,
but three runs in the last two innings,
including the winning run with two
men out in the ninth, saw the Pritch-
ardites go down to defeat 4-3.
After losing the last game of their
three-day road trip the Crusaders
seemed to slip with their aggressiveness
and lost the remaining games of the
season, some being by large margins
and some, like the Penn State game,
being heartbreakers.

Thumbnail Sketch
Of College Saga
In connection with Commencement
this year, Susquehanna is also cele-
brating its Eightieth Anniversary.
Eighty years ago (1858), Reverend Drs.
Benjamin Kurtz, Henry Ziegler, and
Samuel Domer founded Missionary In-
stitute here in Selinsgrove. There were
only two years of college offered then.
It was in 1894 that the charter was
amended. The name was changed to
Susquehanna University and a four-
year college course was instituted.
Our college has grown from a cam-
pus of six acres with one building and
a restricted curriculum to a campus of
sixty-two acres, eighteen buildings, and
four curricula. During National Air
Mail Week in May, there was a special
cachet issued representing old Selins-
grove Hall, the original home of Mis-
sionary Institute.
Susquehanna is highly rated schol-
astically, and is fully accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges.
This means that her graduates are
favorably received at the best graduate
and professional schools. The Alumni
Directory contains the names of 2,700
men and women.
Therefore, when we think of the
eighty years which lie behind our col-
lege, we think of eighty years of pro-
gress—progress of which we may all
be proud.

drilling and training in anticipation of
the strenuous gridiron campaign next
fall. Coach Stagg is going to bear
down in the daily workouts in order to
produce a smooth-working aggregation.
The daily practice sessions will open
with calisthenics, followed by work-
outs with the "charging block" and the
"tackling dummies," in addition to in-
tensive scrimmages and running for-
mations. During the coming football
season several new types of offensive
and defensive maneuvers will be em-
ployed in building up a formidable
gridiron machine.
The loss of co-Captains Pete Shuty
and Harry Swope, brilliant offensive
and defensive performers last year at
the tackle positions, will be greatly felt
by the whole team next year. The Cru-
saders will also be without the valuable
services of Jim Diffenderfer, Louis Bay-
lor, John Goyne, Charles Stauffer, and
John Hazlitt. Both Shuty and Swope
are candidates for the All -Star team,
sponsored by the Philadelphia Inquirer,
which will meet the professional Phila-
delphia Eagles some time in August.
The following Crusader candidates are
expected to don their uniforms next

The current baseball season for the
Susquehanna University Crusaders was
brought to a close at Penn State last
Saturday. After nine innings of fast
play the Pritchardites were beaten by a
one run margin, 6-5.
Glenn Hauff was on the mound for
the locals and Simoncelli, State's ace
chucker, was tossing from the port
side for the home team. The locals
missed a scoring chance in the first
inning. After Bastress had filed out,
Bollinger singled and Ford then beat
out a bunt. Both men were advanced
as Simoncelli threw wild to second, but
Wert and Hauff then went down on
strikes. In the last of the first, State
scored one run without landing a hit.
Miehoff was safe when Hauff slipped in
fielding his bunt, stole second, and went
to third on a fly to the outfield. Hauff
then fanned Adessa but the ball got
away from Bob Cornelius and both
men were safe. Vanarx then lined to
Ford, who doubled Adessa at first base.
Susquehanna took the lead after
Bastress had driven Hazlett across the
plate with the tying run in the second.

. . PME VIEWS . .
Wednesday and Thursday
Twentieth Century Fox brings to
the screen the modern version of "Re-
becca of Sunnybrook Farm." with Shir-
ley Temple, Randolph Scott, and
Gloria Stuart in the starring roles. The
Story of Rebecca is no ordinary story
as she is a very extraordinary little girl
who is very talented at singing and
dancing. Shirley Temple in the role
of Rebecca turns in one of the best
performances of her career.
This modernized story of "Rebecca
of Sunnybrook Farm" finds Rebecca in
the hands of a foster father who is
rather a worthless chap. He can't even
find work to earn enough money to
support the two of them. He is always
looking for some "get-rich-quick"
scheme, and all his efforts fail. Ran-
dolph Scott who is working for a big
corporation is conducting a contest to
find a child star to take part in his
radio programs. Rebecca's foster fath-
er decides that she is good enough to
go in the contest and so he gets her
an audition. After she is heard, the
manager of the business likes her and
decides that she is the child that they
want on the program. However, there
is some mistake and Rebecca gets away
before they are able to tell her other-
wise. After this set-back her father
decides that they will take her to an
aged aunt who has money in order to
get rid of her. When she gets there
the aunt says that she will take her on
the condition that he will never ask for
her back again. During the time that
she is at the farm of her aunt, Ran-
dolph Scott takes a little avcation from
his business and goes up to his country
estate for a little rest. The estate is
right alongside the farm where Re-
becca is living and by accident he hap-
pens to learn that Rebecca is the little
girl who pleased him so much in the
auditions and trys to sign her up for
his program. However, he meets diffi-
culty in the person of Rebecca's aunt,
who thinks that it would be a disgrace
for her to go on the radio and is op-
posed to acting of any kind. Rebecca
and Randolph, however, get help from
the lovely Gloria Stuart who is living
at the same farm with Rebecca. Ar-
rangements are made to broadcast
from the estate of Mr. Randolph and
Rebecca is forced to sneak through the
window to get over to the estate to
broadcast. Her aunt hears her on the
radio and does not recognize her even
though she does think that it sounds
somewhat like her. When she does find
out that Rebecca is missing, she causes
plenty of trouble. Finally she is per-
suaded that Rebecca should be permit-
ted to broadcast. Now that Rebecca
has become successful her foster father,
who is now married, comes for her
again and may legally take her and
does. Rebecca puts on an act when she
is to go on for his show and finally she
is permitted to go back to her aunt
and broadcast for Randolph Scott. The
romance between Scott and Gloria
Stuart adds plenty of thrill to the pic-
ture.
Other outstanding players who turn-
ed in excellent performances are Jack
Haley. Phyllis Brooks, and Helen
West ley.
Friday
The queen of song. Grace Moore, and
that suave Melvyn Douglas come to
the screen in a fast moving drama of
sons and thrills of romance in the Co-
lumbia production, "I'll Take Ro-
mance." This perfect combination of
stars brings to the screen one of the !
outstanding musical hits of the season.
Never has Grace sung her songs so
beautifully, and never has Melvyn
Douglas been so thrilling as in this
fast-moving drama of song and ro-
mance. Stuart Edwin also comes in for
plenty of credit for his expertly acted
xole. For an evening of perfect enter-
tainment we recommend to you "I'll
Take Romance."
Saturday
"Boots and Saddles," with Gene Aut-
ry, Smiley Burnette, and Judith Allen
in the stellar roles is another one of
those dramatic stories of the Old West
which you can't afford to miss if you
are a lover of pictures of the wide open
spaces and thrill to the stories of hard
riding cowboys and of the girls they
love. "Boots and Saddles" is one of the \
■outstanding pictures of the West and
■will furnish you with plenty of thrills
and plenty of romance.
Monday
That madcap little girl of Hollywood,
Jane Withers, is at it again. This time
in the production, "Checkers." It is a
story of the thrills of the race track
and Jane comes in for plenty of trouble
in this picture when she gets interested
in the horses. With her is starred
Stuart Erwin and Una Merkel. This
combination gives a performance that
■you will long remember.

"Getting to know the student body is
my big job right now," says Dr. Rus-
sell Gait, new dean of Susquehanna
University. "I'm 'hipped' on the idea
that education is a matter of knowing
the personality of the student rather
than the class, especially in a small
church school."
Lapsing into poetic language then,
Dean Gait remarked that the Susque-
hanna Valley was a "solace to the
soul" after seven years in Egypt, the
land of the perpetual dark glasses.
"Yes, I liked the rain last week," he
continued. "I loved it after my resi-
dence in a country where for seven
months a year there was blinding sun-
shine. My impression of Susquehanna
is very, very favorable. In particular
I like the architecture of the build-
ings on the campus. Someone used his
head and made them all the same
style.
"Although of necessity a dean's work
is largely a police job. I shall not let
that interfere with my knowing the
students individually. My office is open
to any student with a problem."
When asked for a comparison be-
tween Egyptian and American stu-
dents Dean Gait replied that he found
human beings the same the world
over.
"Of course, the Egyptian is very little
interested in culture. His main in-
terests are practical, and his goal is
to get a job."
With a smile, Dean Gait commented
on the grammar of Susquehanna stu-
dent. (He is a stickler on the King's
English, by the way.) "Nothing you
students can say can quite equal what
the Egyptian students can do to the
English language.
"Thus far, I have been very much
pleased with the attitude of my classes.
The students have been wide awake
and on the job." was the concluding
thought of the interview.
Dr. Gait, a native of Philadelphia,
and for seventeen years associated with
the American University at Cairo.
Egypt, a professor and dean, come to
our campus from St. Lawrence Uni-
versity, where he was serving as visit-
ing professor, lecturing in the field
of the civilization and history of the
Near East. He is a graduate of Mus-
kingum College. Ohio, and holds his
master's and doctor's degrees from Co-
lumbia University.
Miss Barbara L. Kruger, recently ap-
pointed clean of women, remarks, "On
the whole, I am very favorably im-
pressed by the university. I am enjoy-
ing getting to know the students as in-
dividuals. As the year goes on, I feel
sure that students and faculty work-
| ing together will be able to make this
| an even more gracious community in
which to live."
Miss Kruger has had a wide experi-
ence with gracious communities as she
has studied at Barnard University,
University of Southern California, and
the Austro-American Institute of
Vienna. In recent years Dean Kruger
has been engaged in student personnel

:ouse an unusual plant for this region
i now in bloom. The flower is the
fight -blooming Cereus ( Seleniecereus
;randiflorus.), sometimes called the
Cradle of Bethlehem because of the
haps of the stigma and the stamens.
The stamens are shaped like a cradle
nside the large, white, waxy flower
hove which the stigma towers in the
"orm of a beautiful white star. The
"ragrance of the flower is very plea-
ant, and is as fitting to the name as
vas the incense of the Magi at the
cradle of Jesus in Bethlehem. The
^ereus is a member of the cactus fam-
: ly which grows in the deserts; but this
ilant doesn't have any spines on its
stems. As in the case of all cactus
olants there are no leaves; rather the
'he stems look like broad leaves con-
raining water in order that they might
survive in dry climates. Cereus means
waxy, and since the flower only blooms
it night, thus the descriptive name.
There is a snapping sound when the
flower opens about eight o'clock and
remains open until midnight.

last Thursday morning. September 15,
at nine o'clock, when President G.

convocation service in Seibert Chapel.
This service climaxed a four-day pro-

Prof. Russell W. Gilbert delivered
the main address on "That Man

and progress of Susquehanna Univer-

A Word of Welcome
The Susquehanna extends to the Freshmen and others new
to our campus a most heartfelt welcome and best wishes for a
profitable four veais at Susquehanna University. To the first-
year students we Avish to tender a few words of advice. For
some period of time, all will seem new and strange to you, al-
though it is hoped that by this time you have in some measure
acclimated yourselves. You probably have been wondering about
some of the restrictions and customs laid down by upperclass-
nien. It is probably your thought that some of your traditions
mean nothing except to give you a sense of humiliation. How-
ever, it is well to keep in mind the thought that your predeces-
sors' at Bnsqnhanna bad to submit to the same rules and cus-
toms. In every group, the neophyte must stand some test or
trial before he is accepted as a fulllledged member of the group.
While vou are already accepted by the upperclassnien as fellow
members of the student body still you must go through a period
of testing. If the testing is taken in the right spirit, you will
find that your status as a member of the student body will be on
a par with the others of the group. On the other hand, should
you overstep the bounds your offense will be dealt with accord-
ingly. It is best to keep within the law for your brief period of
restriction.
Concerning the scholastic side of college life you have un-
doubtedly heard many pet theories and schemes of how to get
passing and good marks in your courses. These "systems" have
been tendered voluntarily by their donors, guaranteed to be in-
fallible. We say that before you accept a scheme examine the
academic record of its advocator. Then you will discover that
the only method by which a good classroom record is achieved
is through study. Work and application to schoolw ork will be
recognized by your professors and if your efforts have been di-
rected in the right paths you will have no concern as to your
academic rating.
We reiterate our word of Avelcome with the hope that you
will profit by the counsel we have attempted to give you and the
desire that our word* of advice be taken in the right spirit.
Support the Team
With the first days of the autumn season already past it is
natural that those of us athletically minded will turn our
thoughts to the rapidly approaching football season and the op-
ening of Susquehanna's schedule on this coming Saturday.
Many of us have watched the team in its preseason practices
and have formulated opinions regarding its prowess. The Cru-
saders of Susquehanna are facing a difficult schedule, one which
will test the mettle of any team of like size. In preparation for
meeting its opponent the squad has engaged in intensive drill.
However, it is imperative that the work of the team be supple-
mented by the support of the student body of Susquehanna Uni-
versity. The team is your team and will be what you make it
by your backing. The part which the students play is an impor-
tant one. Your attendancce at home games is vital for your co-
operation with the cheerleaders lends support to the squad. A
knowledge that you are behind it will be of great help to our
football team. LET'S SUPPORT THE TEAM !
S
Bravo
The Susquehanna wishes to commend wherever commen-
dation is due. We are always ready to encourage a creditable
new departure. With this thought in mind we salute the person
or persons who were the motivating force tow T ard the organ-
ization of the social function held last Saturday evening in the
social rooms of Seibert Hall. Affairs such as that should be
encouraged to fill in the gaps which are found on Saturday
evenings when there is no other event scheduled. They are
helpful toward keeping students on the campus and in good
spirit. An otherwise empty Saturday evening w T as filled delight-
fully and adequately by the simple expedient.
And when your insomnia gets too
unbearable, why not try a brand new
cure? After all, the wee, small hours
are so convenient to get:
Just a little bit philosophical —
"If it rains, who cares?" Well any-
way, you won't — or you shouldn't. It's
no fun sniffing away a cold, or wading
through enough puddles to start an
ocean, and even the curl comes out of
your hair, but it doesn't get you down
because you know it's bound to clear
up pretty soon. Does the world declare
a universal holiday until the rains are
over? No, the same steady pace is
maintained because tomorrow the sun
will shine. Then why do you give up
when disappointments hit you hard on
the chin? Are you going to quit-
licked, discouraged, down too far to
ever recover? You can come back, snap
out of it! The sun's shining all the
while behind the dreary skies, and be-
hind the rainstorm of your temporary
collapse, your sun (you're still alive,
aren't you?) is waiting to come shin-
ing through.
Just a little bit sentimental-
Come on, soften up! Underneath
that sophisticated outer shell, you are
harboring some things with real ten-
der significance— maybe one lasting
memory. Deep inside, you treasure
those souvenirs of yesterday. There 't,
safety in solitude, go on and admit thai
you do get the "blues" every now and
then. How about that first-grade read-
er you've kept all these years, that
pressed rose in your dictionary, letters, j
pictures— remember? And even now,
when they play "On the Sentimental ,
Side" it almost threatens your calm
reserve.
Just a little bit poetical—
What about that poem you glanced j
at in the magazine you were reading?
Don't forget you wanted to look it up
again and learn it all. Funny you
can't think of the author or the name
of it, but those last few lines really
stuck. You don't go in for that son
of stuff very much, but this was dif-
ferent:
"For whether you work or whether you
play,
Are faise to your best or true
Rests not with your friends or foes to
say
BUT YOU!"
Just a little bit practical—
"As cold water to a thirsty soul, so
is good news from a far country."
(Proverbs 25:25). Oh, but to have that
cold water pretty soon now. What's
wrong with us anyway, acting like pes-
simistic 'fraidy-cats? Did we run out
of grains of salt with which to take
all these too, too illustrious doings of
today's "benevolent" heroes? Sure, I
believe in facing the facts, I believe
in facing realities, et cetera, but why-
talk ourselves into a state of stress
and excitability? There's nothing like
genuine interest in world-wide current
events, but I'm willing to wager it's a
whole lot wiser to start a rushing busi-
ness of selling revised maps of Europe
than to work up a war-phobia.
■Watchful waiting" may be all right,
but if all things come to him who
waits, let's stop waiting. Why buy a
ticket if you don't want to go to the
show? On the other hand, why go to
the show because you happen to have
a ticket? Maybe I'm wrong!!
Just a little bit spiritual—
You're alive, you can breathe, you're
conscious of a strength within you, a
light before you. Beneath all the worst
in you or the best in you, there's
faith and love even when you don't see
it yourself. At your best and happiest,
thank God in appreciation; at your
worst and saddest, seek God in des-
peration. Sidney Lanier all his life
lived in the dread of dying, In the
confusion of insecurity. When he was
dying, however, he found a sudden
strength which he demonstrates in
these lines from the poems entitled
"The Marshes of Glynn":
"As the marsh-hen secretly builds on
the watery sod.
Behold I will build me a nest on
the greatness of God!" —
S
Some Speech!
Fred Douglass, famous Negro orator,
overheard two Irishmen talking, after
they had listened to a speech he had
just made.
"That's a mighty fine speech for to
be made by a Negro."
"Sure an* it was; but he is only half
a Negro."
"Ye don't say! If half a Negro can
make a speech like that, what kind of
magnificent speech would a whole
Negro make?"
Well, Well, it seems that everybody
has come back; well, most everybody
anyway, and are all ready for lots of
hard study for the profs they can't
handshake. Perhaps some of the
ireshmen don't have the art of hand-
shaking yet but if signs mean any-
thing some of them certainly know
how to, shall we say, handshake their
way with the girls; don't you Mr.
Freshman President?
Matthew's little brother, or should I
say, younger brother seems to have a
yen on a certain record in Fred's nick-
elodian. Why did he put ten nickels
in the machine just to hear "Ol Man
Mose"? I'll agree with him that it's a
good song but I didn't know that it
was that good.
I can't understand why Swartz's
tractor was parked by Seibert last
night.
We hear that Professor Gilbert re-
cently joined a fish club for the small
sum of five cents and intends to run
for office soon. But that's all right,
prof; you weren't the only one who
joined. I think Miss Boe might name
some one else who joined. Member-
ship cards may still be had for the
small sum of five cents.
We wish to offer our sympathy to
one of the football men who was in-
jured in a recent skirmish on Friday
afternoon. We hope the injury wasn't
fatal and that you'll be able to con-
tinue in your job as assistant coach.
I didn't know until lately that we
had a famous slap-stick comedy group
on the campus. Perhaps you have
heard of them, "The Three Stooges."
To get in my little pun: As a weighty
news item Gabby G. recently gained
twenty pounds, now 240 net. He claims
it was all done by eating hot dogs or
should I say frankfurters. Food for
thought !
Social note: For the first time in
three years Coleman danced his first
dance in Seibert social halls; in fact
it was the first time he had ever been
in them.
What freshman girl is reviving the
ancient feeling of rivalry between two
fraternities. Ask the two fraternity
presidents.
A certain freshman boy by the name
of McQuesten was voted the most
bashful boy in his high school class.
In all seriousness I really want to
thank Miss Kruger for her kindness
in allowing the dances to be held in
the social rooms. They are a great
success. Thank you.
As a closing statement we wish to
point out that there is now a new
bunch of wolves and their sad case will
be taken up in the next issue.
From Me to You.

DABBLING IN DRIVEL"
With two whole weeks of school fig-
uring in the diary by now this tyro
feels like a seasoned and enlightened
coed of at least the sophomore year.
Well, with this "orientating" over
(Isn't that the word they used so
much?) it's time for us frosh to pick
up our senses and learn a few things
for ourselves. This arm-band may
mean a lot of door swinging for upper
classmen but it is also a passport for
a lot of innocence, and believe me, in-
nocence is the key to play on if you
want to learn things. What I've been
interested in are the students, old and
new.
That Stonesifer lad took my eye first
sight, but Loiey Davis, it seems had
her eye taken first, and what can a
frosh do, what with the freshen-no-
dating privilege for upperclassmen.
Humm! Wonder if that fellow learn-
ed to drive in Europe. Oh begging your
pardon, Anne, I had no idea!! Glad to
meet you Homer. What's this you say?
Quote: "Well, Europe's a great place,
but I feel no more intelligent since I
got back than before I went."
The old students tell me that the
fish pond is new this year. Has any-
one heard of its being inaugurated? I
have some ideas for an initial experi-
ment, but then I might be sorry later.
Hi ya! That was Spiggle there with
Essie Seitzinger. Maybe the year she
was a frosh. Betty Baltzer wasn't on
hand to let her in on "who and how."
With all my suddenly acquired
knowledge, there's one thing that
bothers me. (All answers will please be
placed in The Susquehanna box.) Why
! have so many girls been going around
wishing that there were more un-
usual flowers around — say of a very,
very rare variety that would bloom
j every week.
Another thing I would like to know
is the approximate date of the ap-
proaching fire drill. If I could just
get on the good side of Mathilda or
maybe Jack. On second thought may-
be she wouldn't be so happy at the
latter. Third thought: and then he'd
be unhappy.
Sophistication they say is poor for
a frosh, and Jean Milligan sure won't
have to worry. Never will I forget the
puzzled look on her face as she says,
"I have bids to two dances, and ac-
cepted them both. Just suppose they're
! on the same night?" When is this
! Frosh dance any way?
By the way, Art Wilson, where have
' I seen you before? Come on, 'fess
' up? Where were you the night of
; September 19?
The brother act over there, Don and
Bob iCritchfields, you know) looks
quite lively. Who wins, boys?
That reminds me. I must write to
my brother and tell him that that girl
friend of his friend George who gradu-
ated last year is still around, and is
seen mostly with a far away look in
her eye.
And so back to my Science I go,
hoping to see you next week, still — (if
i the sophomores don't catch up with
me).
Margaret (call me Peg) Frosh.

AMONG OURSELVES"
Sacharined Gall
I tasted of Love's luring vial
A simple sip — a modest trial.
Yet e'er the potion seeped its base
Eye saw it through a different face.
It mocked and jeered — it made me

Love sent me fablous billet-doux.
I cannot seal the broken vial—
I cannot mend the modest trial.

The 1938 football season for the Sus-
quehanna University Crusaders will
open this Saturday as Coaches Stagg
and Pritchard take their men to Phila-
delphia to engage a strong Haverford
eleven. For three weeks this year's
Crusaders have been practicing and
scrimmaging in preparation for the
seven-game schedule which includes
Haverford, Drexel, Alfred, Moravian,
Lebanon Valley, Dickinson, and Brook-
lyn.
Not one game on the schedule is a
6et-up, but with the group of veterans
back in school, and a promising group
of freshmen, the outlook for a suc-
cessful season is very promising. It is
very true that the team will miss the
dependable play of last year's co-cap-
tains, Peter Shuty and Harry Swope,
but with Sam Fletcher and Ed Eisen-
hart showing great form there should
be little worry about the tackle po-
sitions. Then too, Dick Matthews, a
frosh from Williamsport, appears to
be varsity material and should fit very
well into either of the tackle berths.
Earl Deardorf, Harry Mervine, and
John Matthews appear to be the likely
guards and these three lads have ex-
perience as well as natural ability at
opening up the holes that are neces-
sary for the backs to charge through
for gains. Coach Stagg will no doubt
select "Whitey" Keil for the pivot berth
because of his three years of experi-
ence and consistent fighting spirit
which is very necessary on any foot-
ball team. Phil Templin. a rangy
freshman, shows great form as a ball
snapper and should be a great reserve
for either guard or tackle along with
his regular position of center.
Coach Stagg is a strong exponent
of the passing attack and this year
there are Ave ends who are trying
hard to gain a varsity berth. Bill
Pritchard and Jack Detrick appear to
be the best defensive enc".s while Joe
Greco and Dave Murray seem to have
great ability at pulling the pigskin
out of the air. Vince Frattali has been
showing real ability this year and will
no doubt see plenty of service.
No less than six of last year's back-
field men have returned to school.
Junie Miller, Bob Bastress, Clair Kalt-
reider. Bob Herr, Bill Davis, and Sam
Rogers give this year's team a good
number of ball carriers with plenty of
side-stepping ability. Horace Kauff-
man, a junior from Sunbury, has been
showing real ability and should see
plenty of service following the inter-
ference and blocking furnished by such
capables as Miller and Davis. Back-
field candidates include a group of
freshmen who have been supplying
plenty of competition for the men who
have been in Crusader uniforms before
this season. Outstanding among the
frosh ball toters is husky "Bucky"
Rishel from Lewistown, who shows
plenty of drive at the fullback position.
Ken Lyons and "Monk" Meyer are oth-
er promising backs; speed is their
greatest asset and plenty of yards
should be gained by these two year-
lings.
The Staggmen should get good kick-
ing from Junie Miller and Jack Det-
rick, Bill Davis and Bastress have been
doing most of the passing, and the
blocking backs showing great ability-
are Bob Herr, Louie Baylor, and Clair
Kaltreider.
During the coming week Coach Stagg
expects to Iron out the defensive
weaknesses and also give much atten-
tion to the one habit which was very
apparent in most of last year's games,
that of the backfield men pointing the
plays.
For a successful season, let the stu-
dent body give unceasing support to
the boys who are working hard every
afternoon; in this manner we may be
able to help put the team as a unit
into the proper frame of mind for
battling the seven teams they will face
In the coming weeks.

"Moose" Predicts:
Throughout the coming weeks of

games listed for the coming week.

I foretell, and the "Moose," that un-
known one who does the selecting, will
i attempt to maintain an accuracy of
I picking seven out of the ten winners.
|For the week ending October 1st:
Susquehanna over Haverford — no
trouble picking this one.
Ohio State over Indiana — too many
Buckeyes.
Kansas over Notre Dame— the Irish
I are too green.
Harvard over Brown— Harvard too
: classic.
Dickinson over Muhlenberg — Red
Devils have veterans.
Gettysburg over Bucknell — just a
long shot.
California over Washington State —
best in the West.
U. C. L. A. over Oregon— praying for
an upset.
Minnesota over Nebraska — the Goph-
ers are going again.
Louisiana State over Texas— Lone
Stars can't survive Tiger comeback.

Courtmen Swing Into
Pre-Season Drills
Last Monday night Coaches A. A.
Stagg and Bob Pritchard called their
first pre-season court practice. Al-
though the Crusaders' first encounter
is early in December. Coach Stagg is
anxious to drill last year's men thor-
oughly in passing, shooting, and dribb-
ling. In addition, he hopes to uncover
plenty of varsity material in the large
freshman class of this year.

Throughout the summer vacation
many of us have participated in the
various sports which are in vogue dur-
ing the warm days. Many important
feats have taken place and many new
records have been established in the
world of baseball, tennis, golf, boxing,
and pre-season football. Let us re-
view the various sports one by one.
Baseball— During the week of June
the eleventh, a twenty-three year old
lad who hails from Midland Park, New
Jersey, brought baseball fandom to its
feet by pitching two consecutive no-
hit, no-run performances. On the af-
ternoon of June the eleventh he turn-
ed the Boston Bees back without a hit,
and on the night of June the fifteenth
he failed to grant a single safety to
any one player on the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers' lineup. Quite a number of major
league hurlers have pitched perfect
performances since the national pas-
time has come into being, but not once
has the feat of pitching two straight
perfect games been accomplished. All
hats should be raised to John Vander
Meer of the Cincinnatti Reds, who is
a perfect example of what youth can
do.
In the American League it begins to
appear that the New York Yankees are
again going to be successful at staging
their perennial walk-away from all
their rivals. In the National League
the Pittsburgh Pirates hold a rather
slim lead over all their rivals by virtue
of good pitching and one of the best
defensive infields to grace the league
in the last decade. In the first ninety
games, no fewer than one hundred and
twenty double plays have been made by
the Vaughan to Young to Suhr meth-
od.
Tennis— In the world of tennis it ap-
pears that Donald Budge is tops over
all the other ranking amateur players
and with his doubles partner, Gene
Mako. has been able to defeat all chal-
lengers in America as well as abroad.
The play of these two Californians is
largely responsible that the U. S. A.
has the Davis Cup for another year.
Helen Wills Moody has again shown
that she can still wield a racket and
early in June she defeated Helen Jac-
obs in England as the feature attrac-
tion on the famed Wimbledon courts.
Golf— Ralph Guldahl, the man who
gave him up playing golf at one time
because he felt he was a failure, came
back this season to win the National
Open at Denver and also several other
important tournaments in the middle
west. The youthful Sam Snead, how-
ever, has been more successful as far
as prize returns are concerned. This
young man has to date won eight tour-
naments at the various summer resorts
throughout the eastern half of the
country.
Boxing— The boxing world was as-
tounded early in June when Joe Louis,
the heavyweight champion of the
world, defeated Max Schmeling of
Germany in the latter's attempt to re-
gain the title. The surprise comes not
from the fact that the Detroit boxer
won, but from the fact that he knock-
ed out his opponent in the amazing
time of two minutes and four seconds.
Louis Ambers and Henry Armstrong
brought some twenty thousand fight
fans to their feet at the Madison
Square Garden this summer as Arm-
strong made a successful bid for the
honor of wearing three titles at one
time. The young negro boxer has been
able to vary his weight from fifteen to
twenty pounds and was successful in
gaining a decision from Ambers for
the lightweight title, despite the fact
that many eye witnesses believed that
Ambers was the better man.
Football— As the days become short-
er and the leaves begin to show a
tinge of red and brown— football sea-
son is just around the corner. College
Ail-Star games throughout the coun-
try have made us conscious of the ap-
proaching season. Let it be known by
all that the schedule of the Crusaders
is not an easy one. But this year Coach
Stagg and his gridmen are out to win
games. Let the team and the student
body as a whole adopt this as a mot-
to, "If anyone can, Susquehanna can."

Last year, for the first time in re-

team on the lower part of the athletic
field. Despite the fact that most of
the players had very little practice,
they arranged a schedule and played a
number of high schools in this section
and were successful in winning five
of the seven games played. A home
and home basis was arranged with
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
and the Crusader booters were able to
win quite easily on both occasions,
fhis year with the aid of last year's
experience, they expect to win quite a
number of their contests which will
feature other colleges in this section
as well as the high schools.

good support by such veterans as Don

Warner Brothers brings to the screen
the story of the "Texans" starring
Randolph Scott and Joan Bennett.
The story deals with Texas during the
period of Reconstruction after the Civil
War and of the trials of the old fam-
ilies caused by the Reconstructionists.
The part of the daring ex -Confederate
soldier who eventually leads one of
the old landholders out of Texas and
saves a railroad which is being built
into Texas is played by Randolph
Scott. He typifies the fearless and
devil-may-care attitude of early Tex-
ans. Joan Bennett portrays very well
the role of the Southern girl who is
defiant of Northern rule. The picture
is replete with fast-moving action and
exciting scenes. The saga of the early
days of one of the great parts of the
United States is presented vividly in
the "Texans." May Robson, Robert
Barrat. and Raymond Hatton also are
seen in stellar roles.
Thursday, Friday, September 29, 30
Another one of the great series of
motion pictures is presented in Metro-
Golclwyn-Mayer's "Love Finds Andy
Hardy," starring Mickey Rooney. Ann
Rutherford. Judy Garland. Lewis Stone
and the other members of the Hardy
Family. The plot deals with the trials
and tribulations of young Andy Hardy
who has his difficulties with the mem-
bers of the opposite sex. As usual, An-
dy involves himself deeply and very
amusingly in his various activities and
needs the counsel and advice of Judge
Hardy to help him get his affairs
straightened. By the quirk of fortune.
Andy finds himself going with three
girls at one time and bemoans his
confusion in the most amusing Rooney
manner. Judy Garland is the little
girl who comes to visit next door to
the Hurdy family and is regarded by
Andy as a mere child. To his surprise
she turns out to be the hit of a dance
to which Andy reluctantly takes her.
Judy's singing is one of the many high
spots of the picture. Ann Rutherford
is excellent in the role of Andy's
"regular" girl. It can be said that
"Love Finds Andy Hardy" is the most
amusing and entertaining picture to
come to the screen in a great while.
Saturday, October 1
The story of the city streets and the
slum districts of a large city is brought
to the screen in Universal's "Little
Tough Guy." The "Dead End" kids are
again seen in a picture made to order
for them. These young artists will be
remembered for their performance in
"Dead End" and their activities in
"Little Tough Guy" are on a par with
their previous one. The story embodies
the action-packed life of the poor city
districts, the heart-throb of one of
the kids and the fast-moving life of
youth. Also woven into the plot is a
boy of wealthy parents who becomes
involved with the "Kids." A high point
of the picture is the wonderment of
the kids from the slums at the fine
things which the more fortunate
youth possesses. Also in the cast with
strong parts are: Robert Wilcox, Mar-
jorie Main, and Jackie Searl.

"White Banners." starring Claude
Rains, Fay Bainter. Jackie Cooper, and
Bonita Granville is brought to the
screen by Warner Brothers. The story
is taken from the novel of the same
name by Lloyd Douglas and has be-
hind it a mode of living that is typical
of all Douglas novels. Claude Rains
is the high school teacher in a small
town who has difficulties with his in-
telligent but indifferent pupil, Jackie
Cooper. However, through his daugh-
ter, played by Bonita Granville, Rains
gets the boy interested in an inven-
tion. Just as success is theirs, they
are thwarted and fall-out. The role
portrayed by Fay Bainter is one which
will arouse sympathy in all who see
the picture. Her philosophy of life
runs throughout the picture and even-
tually dominates the life of Claude
Rains. While the picture is essentially-
serious there is a wealth of good com-
edy in it. "White Banners" is skill-
fully produced and should be on your
"must see" list.

The closing event of the week was
the dance party given by the S. C. A.
in Seibert social rooms on Saturday
evening. The program was in charge
if Robert Sander and Harry Thatcher.
Games, a short program, dancing, and
refreshments kept the "ball rolling"

Dr. G. Morris Smith has expressed
unusual pleasure over Susquehanna's
outlook for the coming year. Said he.
"We are off to a fine start in our
eighty-first year in educational ser-
vire with a larger enrollment than last
vear. splendid students drawn from at
least six States and many counties of
Pennsylvania, and an outstanding
faculty group. One-third of the fresh-
man class comes to us from the high-

a preponderating majority come from
the upper half of their class. Our
freshmen this year number 108, in-

University Theatre
Susquehanna University's Motet
Choir has already begun its schedule
for the year. The members have been
practicing every afternoon in prepar-
ation for their big trip which starts
next Fridav, October 7, when they
leave for Baltimore, Maryland. The
occasion at which the Choir, in con-
junction with the choirs of Muhlen-
berg. Gettysburg, Hartwick, and New-
berry S P.. will sing, is the Eleventh
Biennial Convention of the United
Lutheran Church.
On Saturday evening the object of
the concert win be a study of the his-
torical periods of Lutheran music;
each choir giving a different period. It
happens that Susquehanna's group is
from the time contemporary with Mar-
tin Luther himself; therefore the mu-
sic will be motets, the type of music in
which our choir has specialized. In
addition to the separate groups, all the
choirs to the number of two hundred
members will sing Bach chorales,
among which will be the favorite of
many. "Beautiful Savior."
Saturday afternoon part of the choir
will take a boat trip down the Chesa-
peake Bay; the other part will see the
Navy-Virginia Military Institute foot-
ball game at Annapolis.
Sunday morning the choir will sing
at Saint Stephen's Lutheran Church in
a service which will be broadcast.
After the choir members return they
will immediately begin practicing for
their tour. Last year they were run-
ner-up in the Columbia Choir Quest,
and this year they are hoping to do
better.
The following are members of the
choir: Josephine Carey, Elsie Hochella,
Beatrice Meyer, Esther Seitzinger,

"Stage Door," a drama concerning
struggling young actresses in New
York, will head the season of Broad-
way successes to be produced this com-
ing year by the Susquehanna Univer-
sity Theatre. Mr. James Freeman, di-
rector of the organization, announced
today. "Room Service." last year's
George Abbott success, which "Time"
this week called "an outrageously
funny farce," and Sinclair Lewis's dra-
matization of his own novel, "It Can't
Happen Here." will complete the sea-
son's program.
"Stage Door," by George S. Kauf-
man, veteran writer of farce and sa-
tire, and Edna Ferber, well known
popular novelist, was first produced
I two years ago on Broadway. Last year
'. it was a starring vehicle for Kathryn
I Hepburn and Ginger Rogers in the
! moving pictures and gave a new star,
Andrea Leeds ,her first opportunity.
| "Room Service." by John Murray and
\ Allen Boretz, was the production with
which George Abbott followed up his
success with "Brother Rat." Soon to
be released in a moving picture ver-
sion starring the Marx Brothers, it
promises to equal the success of its
predecessor.
"It Can't Happen Here," a dramatic
I portrayal of a Vermont editor's battle
against triumphant Fascism in the
United States, was first produced last
year by the Federal Theatre in New
York. An, engagement at Cohasset,
Massachusetts ,this summer with Sin-
clair Lewis himself playing the lead-
ing role was held over for a second
week. Before release this fall for the
non-professional theatre the play was
revised by the author.
All together the three plays provide
approximately sixty acting parts. The
Susquehanna University Theatre has
secured the plays by arrangement with
Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. New
York.

STUDENTS AND FACULTY TREK
TO HAVERFORD FOR GAME
TO ENTERTAIN PARENTS
The faculty staff of Susquehanna
University has been enriched by two
new additions to the business admin-
istration curriculum this year. They
are Dr. Eric W. Lawson, a graduate of
the University of Virginia and Mr.
Carter C. Osterbind. instructor in busi-
ness administration. Both of these men
hail from Virginia.
Dr. Lawson graduated from Vinton
High School. Vinton, Virginia. From
there he pursued his studies and re- i
ceived his degree of Doctor of Phil-
osophy from the University of Vir-
ginia. He also held a fellowship with
the Brookings Institute in Washing-
ton, D. C. Here he specialized in eco-
nomics, money, and banking.
Dr. Lawson. in spite of the short
period of time he has been at Susque-
hanna University, likes the school very i
much. He believes the campus to be
one of the most beautiful and best
kept he has ever seen. The friendliness
of the students has greatly impressed
him. From the academic standpoint,
he believes the students to be more
than willing to learn. Since he has not
been here long, he is unable to fore-
tell their ability to learn.

NOTICE
All students interested in dramat-
ics are asked to meet in the Studio
Theatre <G. A. 300 1 Wednesday af-
ternoon at a quarter to one. Fresh-
men are particularly urged to ap-
pear. Students interested in as-
pects of dramatics other than act-
ing should come to this meeting.
"Not only will there be parts for a
great many this year, but there will
be many opportunities for students
possessing other skills, from typing
and photography to carpentry and
salesmanship," Mr. James Freeman
said. "However, experience in dra-
matic work is not required."
Those resident students who wait
eagerly every morning and afternoon
for their daily mail will be glad to
hear that the mail deliveries will be
speeded up considerably if the proper
plans go through. Reed Gulick, Sus-
quehanna's Early Bird, is expecting to
become the proud owner of a bicycle
within the next few days.
Permission has been granted by
Postmaster Jim Farley for its use dur-
ing the present term. All that is need-
ed to put it into action is a tire, a
horn, and fog horn to help the mail to
its destination.
Despite the fact that the Crusader
eleven opened their 1938 grid campaign
away from home last Saturday, many
students and faculty members trekked
to Haverford to witnesr the Orange
and Maroon's opening football game
against Haverford.
The faculty members who witnessed
the opening contest were Dr. Adam
Smith. Dr. George Fisher, Prof. Russell
Gilbert and his wife, and Miss Laura
Reed. In addition, many alumni re-
siding in the vicinity of Philadelphia
were on hand to watch the Crusaders
I in action.

University Band to Feature
Netv Uniforms
Susquehanna students have a treat
in store for them when they see their
band in the new uniforms. Susque-
hanna University's Band was organiz-
ed in 1928. Since then Mr. Elrose Alli-
son has developed the band so that it
is one of the best college bands in the
East. The instrumentation has been
enlarged and the band has a better
tonal balance than in previous years.
Through thp vears it has grown, new
equipment has been added and other
imnrovements mnde.
The band's library of music is a
seoarate unit. It is one of the best and
with a higher standard of music of all
types than is usually used by bands
associated with colleges. There is a
regular filing svstem used; the music
is not just thrown around, but is kept
in a catalogue cabinet. Music is also
cataloeued as to type, so that any tyDe
concert or military urogram may be
chosen and organized at short notice,
calling for various styles of music to
develop varietv in the program.
This year Mr. Allison is working for
the develoDment of the individual band
man; in technique, tone quality, and
intonation. There is also going to be
sectional work in ensemble, balance,
precision, and tonal flexibility.
The marching band this year is
working on the fundamental training
for the making of a fine marching
unit. Every man must know and do
| his part for the evolutions this year
will be more intricate and extensive:
This type of work on the part of Mr.
Allison and the members has gotten
S. U.'s band to the place that it is
considered as an examnle for other
college and high school bands both in
the march and concert field.
Several new features have been add-
ed to the band this year. A larger band
appears in the new uniforms that were
made possible bv the class of '38. The
uniforms are maroon and orange and
are mode of 16 m. whiDCord in the
stvle of the West Point Cadet uniform
consisting of orange trousers, maroon
waist coat with brass buttons, a waist
belt, brass buckle, and orange shake
hat trimmed with maroon. In the hat
is a porn-nom or plume. The uniform-
ed ban H will make its first appearance
nt the home coming game. It was first
thought that they would arrive for the
Parents' Day game, but the comnanv
states that they can't be ready until
later.
A new departure this year is that
the drum majorshb has been given to
a girl. June Hendricks will lead the
band in the march. Her uniform will
be of solid orange trimmed with gold:
'she is an expert t wirier and also plays
the saxonhone.
Mr. Allison has this to say about the
j band : "I Dropose to set a band on the
(Concluded on Page 4)
Dr. Lawson is very enthusiastic
about sports as a whole. He is not
interested in any one major sport.
When in college he liked to play tennis
and golf. These two sports remain his
favorites to this day.
His only criticism of the school is
one in which several other people ex-
press the same belief — the lack of en-
thusiasm concerning athletic events.
He believes that there should be more
enthusiasm created by the students
than there is.
He believes, as do all other profes-
sors, that the students should place the
proper valuation on the realization of
their studies. He beli«»v»> that all stu-
dents should study with the same en-
thusiasm with which they play.
Mr. Carter C. Osterbind, instructor
in business administration, was born
and reared in Richmond, Virginia.
Early in his boyhood life he moved to
West Virginia. Later his family re-
turned to Virginia to a town named
Blacksburg. Here Mr. Osterbind at-
tended school and graduated from
Blacksburg High School. He then en-
tered the University of Virginia, where
he held a fellowship. He graduated
in the class of economics.
Mr. Osterbind's desire for knowledge
led him to attend Virginia Polytechni-
cal Institute. After graduating from
here, he entered business for a year to
gain his practical experience.
Among the sports he is interested in
Mr. Osterbind enjoys playing golf. He
played on the V. P. I. team while at-
tending school there. He also likes to
roller skate and ice skate. The two
major sports he is most interested in
are football and baseball.
Although Mr. Osterbind has been at
Susquehanna only one week he has
learned to know the students and likes
them very well. Their spirit and
friendliness has impressed him, and he
wants them to know that any time his
services are needed, he will be glad to
cooperate with them.

VESPER SERVICES ARE
WELL ATTENDED
Student Christian
Association Holds
First Meeting
The Student Christian Association
held the first of a series of student-
discussion groups in Seibert social
rooms on last Thursday evening at
8:00 o'clock. The meeting, which was
opened by a short devotional service,
was well attended. Leon Haines, the
president of the association, then
enumerated each discussion -topic for
the current season, and spoke a sen-
tence about each. Robert Sander,
speaking next, described briefly each
topic.
The principal speaker of the even-
ing was Dr. George F. Dunkelberger,
who chose as his topic, "What Shall Be
My Relationship to This Program?"
He stressed the necessity of faithful
attendance to the forthcoming meet-
ings, and cooperation among the mem-
bers in order to carry out successfully
the program which has been drawn up.
He suggested that each student ask
himself just what his attitude toward
the association would be. "We must
eat the spiritual food offered," said Dr.
Dunkelberger. "Eating nourishes the
body." "We receive direct benefits
from the food we eat." "In order to
get the benefits out of S. C. A. we
must eat."
S
WOMEN'S AUXILIARY HOLDS
INITIAL MEETING
On Saturday, October 8, Susque-
hanna will hold its annual Parents'
Day. Every year the university takes
one dav in October to entertain the
parents of the students and to get
them better acquainted with the
school. It is believed that this year's
event will be as interesting and suc-
cessful as those in the past have been.
Over three hundred invitations have
been sent out to parents.
At 11:15 a. m. the day's program will
begin with the Parents' Day chapel
service. All students and their parents
are invited. At the service, the stu-
dents will be featured in special music
under the direction of Professor Shel-
don. There will also be a brief ad-
dress. This chapel will last until
twelve, noon.
Luncheon will be served at 12:15 and
parents will attend as guests of the
institution. There will be brief after-
dinner remarks by a representative of
the parents and a representative of the
faculty. Our new deans, Dr. Russell
Gait and Miss Barbara L. Kruger are
to be introduced.
The football game with Drexel In-
stitute will begin at 2:00 o'clock. It is
hoped that the new uniforms for the
band will have arrived at this time.
This will be the first home game of
the season, and everyone will be anx-
ious to see our team in action. It will
no doubt be an exciting contest.
The final event of the day's official
program will be a tea in Seibert Hall
parlors to which all parents are cor-
dially invited. The tea is in charge of
Miss Kruger. Upper-class girls will be
hostesses. It is believed that many of
the parents will be interested in in-
specting the new parlor furniture at
this time.
The whole day has been carefully
planned by the administration, and
students are expected to take advan-
tage of this opportunity to introduce
their parents to or to re-acquaint them
with the school itself and also the
faculty.
S. U. Booters Win

ject "Being Square " A special num-
ber. "A Vesper Hymn." was played on
the organ by Alice Deitrick.
Arrangements for future speakers
are not as yet definitely known. Much
enthusiasm is being shown among the
students this year.

Seibert social rooms at 2:30 p. m. The
presiding officers were: president. Mrs.
George Fisher; first vice president,
Mrs. J. W. Weeks; second vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Agnes Sholly Knights; third
vice president. Mrs. Eugene Hoover;
recording secretary. Mrs. H. C. Renn;
assistant secretary. Mrs. Percy Line-
baugh; corresponding secretary. Mrs.
J. H. Kuster; treasurer. Mrs. Karl T.
Aikens.
A program was held with Mrs. Line-
baugh acting as chairman. A piano
solo. "Spanish Concert Waltz." by
Jonas, was played by Elsie Hochella. a
conservatory student.
Refreshments were then served in
the social rooms with Mrs. T. K. Rishel
acting as chairman.
At the regular meeting, committees
were appointed to help make plans for
the coming year. No definite plans
have been made except for the con-
tinuance of the payments for the fur-
niture in the girls' dormitory.
In November there will be a meet-
ing of the general auxiliary in con-
junction with the local unit.
Mrs. Fisher now reports there are
one hundred and fifty active members
and fifty associates

BRUCE BELL TO PLAY FOR
IXTER-FRAT DANCE
Last Friday the University's soccer
team opened the season by annexing
a 2-0 win over the Herndon High
School booters. The team, captained
by Bill Troutman. scored in the first
and fourth periods by combining beau.
tiful passing and wonderful defense.
The first goal was tallied by Bill
Troutman and Harry Furman rushing
the opposing goaler. Furman had pos-
session of the ball and after passing
to Trutman. the latter shot for the
goal. The oval caroomed off Furman's
leg and passed on through the up-
rights.
The game featured good defense
during the second and third quarters,
but in the final period the Crusaders
held the ball almost all the time. Dur-
ing the last few minutes Herbie Kling-
er. last year's goalie who now plays
forward, tallied the final score on a
wonderful head shot which traveled
for ten yards at an angle.
The Crusaders' defense was very
tightly bound because Jim McCord
and Spar Wert were constantly break-
ing up passes which the boys from
down the Herndon way attempted. Bob
Cornelius also played a bang up game
on defense as well as offense.
New Cheers:
According to Dance Chairman Sam-
uel Rogers of the Inter-Fraternity
Council, Bruce Bell and his orchestra

Fight Sickness
A great need at Susquehanna was satisfied when provisions
were made for the establishment of an infirmary with a resident
nurse on luind at all times to treat minor illnesses and injuries.
In previous yean, students who felt ill had the alternatives of
going to a doctor down -town or treating themselves in the hope
they would feel hotter. Tinier the present set-up there is no
necessity for a student to suffer with a cold or other little-re-
garded ailments. A capable nurse will prescribe treatment of
the illness or if the sickness is of a more serious nature, will set;
that the student is treated hy a doctor. It has heeu said in the
past that the great need on the campus was an infirmary. It
was said that there would he less sickness and a resultant lower

brings the family in difficulties. A high

Make It Peace
Since much has already been said and written concerning
the situation in Europe it is in keeping with the policy of The
SrsQUEHANNA that we voice our opinion concerning European
occurrences and their relation to the United States. It is a char-
acteristic of Americans that we take sides on all questions and
give vent to our opinions. This is as it should be, for only by
each persons having his say can democracy be accomplished.
Undoubtedly, every one of us has his opinion concerning the
Chech question. We would he I Sorry lot if we didn't. However,
it is this writer's thought that official United States would do
well to maintain a judicious silence regarding European trouble.
Experience has shown that the United States fares best when
she remains aloof from embroilment on the other side of the
two oceans which are her borders. However, we do not believe
that the United States should avoid round table conferences
when it is her ability to promote peace and good will. When

Although outclassing their opponents
in every department of the contest and
chalking up fourteen first downs
against four for their opponents, the
Crusaders suffered a 7-to-6 reverse
from Haverford College at Haverford
on Saturday, October 1.
Saturday's skirmish inaugurated the
current grid campaign for both insti-
tutions. Loyal Crusader fans were
keenly disappointed when they saw the
Crusader eleven unable f o convert sev-
eral sustained drives down the field for
touchdowns, after predicting that the
Orange and Maroon gridders would
have little trouble in reversing the
count against the Main Liners.
The performances of Bob Bastress
and Junie Miller were particularly
outstanding in the backfield as they
picked up extra yardage for frequent
gains through the Red and Black for-
ward wall. Everett "Bucky" Rishel,
first year performer for the Orange
and Maroon eleven, also played a stel-
lar role in rolling up first downs for
the Crusaders. The passing attack of
the Staggmen was their most effective
offensive weapon against Haverford as
Bastress frequently found Pritchard
and Greco at the receiving end of his
passes.
At the start of the grid game Hav-
erford kicked off and the Crusaders
took the ball on their own 39-yard
stripe. On the last down Bastress
punted. The Crusaders again gained
possession of the pigskin when Detrick
recovered Bastress' punt after it was
fumbled by the Haverford safety man
on Haverford's 44-yard line. Although
the Crusaders made two first downs in
the first quarter, the tussle remained
a kicking duel between Bob Bastress
and Harry Derr.
Late in the first quarter Harry Derr,
Main Liner, carted the pigskin from
the Crusaders' 39-yard line to the 10-
yard line. On the first play of the
second quarter, Dick Beeler, Red and
Black back, skirted his own right end
behind beautiful interference to score
a touchdown. Beeler 's attempt for the
extra point sailed just inside the up-
rights to provide the Main Liners with
a 7-to-0 lead.
The Crusaders took the pigskin at
midfleld on the out-of-bounds kick-
off. On the first play Bob Bastress
heaved a pass to Joe Greco who ad-
vanced the ball to Haverford's 29-yard
Etripe. In two plunges off his own
right tackle Rishel carried the ball to
the Main Liners' 10-yard line. On the
next play the Crusaders again took to
the air when Bastress tossed a pass to
Bill Pritchard over the goal line after
attempting to circle his left end.
Throughout the third quarter the
Orange and Maroon gridders desper-
ately attempted to score via the aerial
route, with Miller. Davis, and Bastress
alternating on the attempted passes.
Late in the third period the Staggmen
recovered a blocked punt on Haver-
ford's 20-yard line to give the Crusad-
ers a golden opportunity to score. How-
ever, on the next play the Main Liners
regained possession of the pigskin
when Wilson made a bad pass from
center.
During the fourth quarter both Keil
and Wilson intercepted passes intend-
ed for Haverford's wingmen, to again
put the Staggmen in scoring position;
Bastress was forced to kick on the
fourth down both times.
The stellar performance of the Or-
ange and Maroon forward wall was
largely responsible for the Crusaders
holding the Main Liners to only four
first downs. The Crusader forward
wall composed of Jack Detrick, Ed.
Eisenhart, Henry Keil, Harry Mervine,
John Matthews, Bill Pritchard, Sam
Fletcher, and Joe Greco repeatedly
broke through the Red and Black for-
ward wall to thwart the attempted line
thrusts. Earl Deardorf, Bob Matthews,
and Templin, substitute linemen also
exhibited class on the Crusaders' for-
ward wall. Time and time again the
Orange and Maroon pass defense prov-
ed unduly effective against the Main
Liners' passing attack.

Well, fans, it looks very much like
football season. Last Saturday almost
every college team in the country
either annexed a win or suffered a de-
feat. We were certainly sorry to hear
that our Crusaders were unable to
brak into the win column. When, how-
ever, we do break into the larger end
of that scoring sheet, it will certainly
be a well earned innovation. Susque-
hanna has almost been starved from
a grid win since the 1936 season when
the Staggmen trounced almost every
team on the schedule.
Last Saturday's game was a repeti-
tion of most of the games played last
year. Susquehanna out gains and out
plays almost all their rivals but almost
invariably loses. But after the cheer-
ing has subsided; it is not the first
downs, not the passes completed, and
not the deception which figures in the
plays that counts; the pay check comes
in touchdowns. Last season as well as
this year's first game proved one thing
to the players as well as the students
who are interested. The Crusaders have
lacked scoring punch.
But, there are six big games to be
played on this year's schedule. Next
week Drexel Institute will invade Uni-
versity Field with a group of real
huskies and the Crusaders will be pres-
ent to meet them as the feature sports
Staggmen Prepare
For Drexel
"Moose" Predicts:
Well, it appears as- though the
"Moose" should hang his head in
shame. Picking only five out of ten
possible winners is certainly not a
very good record. We can't seek an
alibi because a dozen newspapers
and sport reporters can't be wrong.
Kansas, Harvard, Dickinson, and
Susquehanna really left your pre-
1 dictor down. Nevertheless we won't
1 allow the ship to sink on its first
voyage over a grid played sea. This
week we shall again pick the tough
ones. Let's see what the unknown
quantity the "Moose" can do on
this week's sail into gridland:
Susquehanna over Drexel— the law
of averages should catch up.
Duke over Colgate — the heirs have
power to burn.
Dartmouth over Princeton — the
Tigers can't stop 'em.
Penn State over Bucknell— the Nit-
tany Lion will roar.
Michigan over Chicago — the "Windy
City" boys have slipped.
Alabama over N. Carolina State —
the "Crimson Tide" has siuil
Brown over Lafayette— they should
give me a lift this week.
California over Col. of Pacific— still
the best in the amt
Navy over Virginia — the Navy won't
have to pull up the anchor.
Yale over Penn— the Eli's will have
a tough time.
This Saturday afternoon Coach
Stagg's Crusaders will meet Drexel on
University Field. This game marks the
first home game of this year's team
and Parents' Day will be held.
To date Drexel has played but one
game and that encounter ended in a
tie score with Randolph-Macon. Last
year Drexel handed the locals a 21-0
setback but this Saturday the count
may be different. This year's lineup
is a big improvement over last sea-
son's edition. From the time the kick-
off whistle sounds at 2:00 p. m. till
the final gun has been shot, the locals
will be fighting man for man to bring
a win to our campus.
At present Coach Stagg is undecid-
ed as to his starting lineup but it may
see the following men in action. Prit-
chard and Greco ends, Eisenhart and
Fletcher tackles, Matthews and Deit-
rick guards. Keil at center with Herr,
Bastress, Baylor, and Junie Miller in
the backfield.
This week's game may see big Tom
Lewis back in a Crusader uniform for
the first time since the 1936 season.
attraction of this year's Parents' Day.
The entire Drexel team, including its
[ coach, scouted the locals at Haverford
, and as a result Coach Stagg and As-
: sistant Bob Pritchard are going to put
! the Crusaders through a week of hard
workouts. Not one of the locals will
j be lost for this game because of in-
juries, with a week in which to iron
.out the weak spots, the Crusaders will
, start on their way this coming Satur-
day afternoon.
STAGGMEN ADD COLOR: When the
student body views this year's team in
i full regalia they will give their eyes a
treat. Silk pants have been secured for
j the backfield men and the ends. New
maroon and white jerseys have been
ordered and should add lots of color,
especially with the empetus of the
impetus of the glaring orange helmets
which the entire squad wears.

Humor
Shrewd
"No lettuce on that sandwich,"
Smithy warned the soda fountain dis-
penser as he gave his noon-time order.
"Don't like lettuce?" queried his pal,
Jonesy.
"It's not that," came the explana-
tion, "but there's method in my mad-
ness. You see, when the sandwich man
puts lettuce between the two slices of
bread, it looks pretty thick. But when
be doesn't, the sandwich looks so skin. [
ny that he puts more meat in it to |
build it up. Clever, eh?"
"Yeah, and I suppose you ask for all \
W's and M's in your alphabet soup."
"Hush, dear." said mother, "we know
it is."
The little boy looked puzzled. "But,
mummy," he shrilled, "you just said to
Dad. Whatever's this object coming
in?' "
He Must Stand In Well!
The prospective son-in-law had just
given little Willie, brother of his sweet-
heart, a sack of candy.
"Don't you think my beau is a good
fellow?" asked the big sister.
"Huh . . . he's better than that!"
said Willie.
"How do you mean?"
"Well. I heard Mama tell Papa that
he was better than nobody!"
The Details
The conversation led to chat about
' boyhood friends.
"You know Whatchacallit's daugh- i
ter," said one. "Well, she and Whosit's
BOO — he's the fellow who runs that |
store around the corner from Whats- i
it's barber shop— were married the j
other day. Hadn't you heard?"
"Oh, ye," replied the other, "but this
is the first time I have learned the
details!"
Two Words
An officer asked for an interview
with Frederick the Great. It was grant-
ed on the condition that he should say
only two words.
He presented a petition, saying:
"Sire, sign."

MOTET CHOIR TO SING AT
CONVENTION IN BALTIMORE
Fifty-two persons were given audi-
tions for the band this year; of this
number thirty-two were chosen for the

assured of the desired objective. The
gift of the class of '38 which made it
possible to purchase twenty-seven uni-
forms an dthat of the college which
consented to add the five so that the
band might be more uniformed is much
appreciated by Professor Allison and
the band members. In the future the
band wants to add enough uniformed
men to reach the maximum of forty-
two members. The members of the
band are at work to secure more funds
for the needed uniforms. The complete

A Canny Approach
McTavish: "An' so ye leave Glasgow
on Monday. What are ye daein' the
morn's nicht?"
Jarvie: "Tomorrow. Thursday, I've
no engagement."
"An' the nixt nicht?"
"I'm free then, too."
"An' what will ye be doein' on Sat-
urday?"
"On Saturday I dine with the Bu-
chans."
"What a peety! Aa wanted ye tae
tak' dinner wi' us on Saturday."
Football Foolishment
A South Side father said to his wife:
"A man was going to send me a free
ticket to the football game. Have you
seen anything of it?"
"A ticket came by mail without any
writing." his wife replied, "and I think
Junior used it."
"Well," the father said: "That's the
first time I was ever shut out of a
game by an intercepted pass."

Junior Explains
The four-year-old boy, perched on
his father's knee in the crowded bus,
looked hard at the stout, gaudily dress-
ed woman as she bustled in and edged
herself into the only seat left.
"Mum." he said, loudly, "it's a lady."

ing. This orchestra now is entering
upon its thirty-fourth consecutive sea-
son, during which period it has pre-
sented over twelve thousand concerts
and has traveled over one million
miles. That "Kryl and his Symphony
Orchestra" are fully appreciated is
demonstrated by the repeat engage-
ments, year after year, in all the lead-
ing cities from coast to coast.
An added inducement was the pro-
gram which was as follows:

er's popularity in these excerpts from

Business, Greek, and
French Clubs Meet
The various clubs of Susquehanna
! are making final arrangements for
| their initial meetings.
The Business Society has as a pur-
i pose. "Promoting interests in various
fields of commerce, business and eco-
nomics, to provide an open forum for
scientific discussion of any subject in
j the general field of business, and to
' establish a closer fellowship among
those interested in these subjects."
In addition to discussions of eco-
nomic problems, excursions to points
of interest such as coal mines, tan-
neries, mills and power plants are tak.
en by the members. Speakers of repu-
tation appear upon the program at
different times such as: certified pub-
lic accountants, bankers, directors of

ciety has as officers Robert Herr, presi-
dent; Helen White, secretary, and
Elizabeth Aees as treasurer.
The first meeting of the school year
will be held Wednesday evening. Oc-
tober 12 at seven-thirty. Plans will be
consummated for the first excursion

ments for its first meeting.
The club is designed for students in.

Dr. Russell Gait, dean of Susque-
hanna University, spoke on the sub-
I ject of "What Parents Should Expect
I of Colleges" at a special chapel service
in connection with the annual Parents'
Day celebration, October 8. President
G. Morris Smith presided at the chapel
service.
Dean Gait spoke on behalf of the
parents and told them what he, a par-
j ent, expects of a college. He stated
that he would expect three changes to
be brought about by college education:
change of head, change of hands, and
change of heart. Dr. Gait's first de-
mand of a college as a parent would
be that his child be trained intellec-
tually by professors of Christian char-
acter and familiar with the latest re-
search in their particular fields. He
i also stated that there must be a
j change of hands; the student must be
taught more than theory; students
< must learn by actual doing. The final
! demand of a college is that its train-
ing do something to the very heart of
l the student. The student must learn to
I live, have faith in humanity, and above
| all else, his God.
A quartet made up by Frances Wil-
liams. Anna Reeder, Walter Freed, and
Joe Mehalow sang, accompanied by
Charlotte Baish.
Immediately following the chapel
services, parents were the guests of the
university at a Parents' Day dinner in
Horton Dining Hall. President Smith
welcomed the parents and Miss Bar-
bara Kruger, dean of women, respond-
ed for the faculty while Mr. William
Pritchard made the response for the
parents.
Many parents attended the football
game in the afternoon, and afterward
a tea was held in honar of the parents
by the Women's~s"tudent Council. The
climax to Parents' Day was the Inter-
Fraternity dance in the gymnasium.

Concerning the concert, much fav-
aroble opinion was expressed anent
Susquehanna's Motet Choir. Accord-
ing to Prof. Frederick Stevens, direc-
tor of the Motet, members of the
audience commented concerning the
professional attitude of the local or-
ganization and its general deportment
while presenting its part of the pro-
gram.
At present, the Choir's plans for the
future are indefinite. However, prep-
aration is being made for the annual
tour which takes place in January.

Pennsylvania Scenes
Shown In Chapel
"Scenes of Pennsylvania in Four
Seasons" was the title of a two-reel
movie in technicolor shown in Seibert
auditorium last Wednesday evening at
seven o'clock. In the first reel Penn-
sylvania scenes were shown in the
background while the words of the
state song set to beautiful music oc-
cupied the foreground.
The second reel was a series of shots
of scenes in Pennsylvania taken re-
cently when the caravan of newspaper
photographers toured the state. Scenes
included the oil fields of western Penn-
sylvania, the battlefield of Gettysburg,
and shots from central Pennsylvania's
beautiful landscapes. Among several
views from this section were two pic-
tures of Penn's Creek.
This picture was produced by the
Pennsylvania State Publicity Commis-
sion and was brought here through the
cooperation of the university officials.
Ford Bond, a well-known movie com-
mentator, narrated the scenes. All

Think Twice Before
The Student Christian Association is currently conducting
a movement to eliminate profanity among tin- memben of the
student body. It is our wish to lend word, of encouragement to
this worthv objective. Too often when one is walking on the
campus can the sounds of a not-too-choice epithet be heard. It
seems that with some of us profanity has become a bad and
deep-rooted habit. In fact, we swear without being conscious
of doing so. It has been said that profanity is used to nil gaps
in conversation which occur when the brain misses fire. When
ve give thoughtful analysis to the question it can be seen that
persons with adequate vocabularies very seldom indulge m the
use of profanity. Wouldn't it be much better to substitute some-
thin- else in the place of profanity in our conversation? How-
ever, to those of us with strong will powers, it would he well to
exclude all unneeess.irv expressions from our speech. Then, too,
in some cases profanity has become a habit with us and holds us
in its shackles. Do we want a bad habit to stand in the way of g compared w me ,
our progress and advancement? It is easy to break the bounds get when you start looking around for
of a habit if we only set our minds to it. When thinking of pro- the proper scientific term applicable to

Even now we are looked to for leadership. What do we think
now of a man who holds a responsible position and whose con-

It has been brought to our attention that there are certain

that if the mail office were to remain open for merely fifteen

for everyone to get his mail. In this way confusion at the be-
ginning of chapel which arises when students rush in with books
in one hand and mail in the other would be eliminated. Then,

Staggmen Play First Home Game Before Large
Parents' Day Crowd; Lewis Boots Field Goal for
Crusader Score
Last Saturday afternoon the Cru-
sader football team lost to a strong
Drexel College lineup by the score of
19-3, the game being the feature at-
traction of this year's Parents' Day.
The game was rilled with plenty of
thrills as well as good, clean football,
and despite the fact that the score was
one sided, every minute was played in
such a manner as to keep the 2000
people who attended on their toes for
the entire sixty minutes.
Susquehanna kicked off to Drexel to
open the game and after an exchange
of punts, the Crusaders marched into
the Dragon's territory and they occu-
pied that ground almost the entire
quarter. Soon after the opening
whistle, Drexel fumbled and Templin
recovered for the locals. Davis and
Miller then advanced the ball to the
Dragon's thirteen yard stripe and with
eight yards to go for a first down, big
Tom Lewis dropped back to the eigh-
teen yard marker and with Junie Mil-
ler holding the ball he booted it be-
tween the uprights to put the Cru-
saders out in front 3-0. The locals
had another chance to score in the
first period when Joe Greco raced to
the Drexel twenty-eight yard stripe
en a pass from Miller. This run failed
to result in a score because of a fumble
which although recovered by Bill
Davis, put the locals back on their
heels and a series of passes failed to
materialize into a Crusader score.
The second period was marked by
Drexel touchdowns. Soon after the
quarter started, a Drexel pass put the
ball on the Susquehanna twenty-seven,
and after a wide end run and two line
bucks, Ehmling plunged over to put
the visitors ahead 6-3 as the extra
point attempt failed. Close to the end
of the second period the Dragons
struck once more at the Crusader goal
line. Ehmling dashed 34 yards from
his own thirty-six to the locals' thirty
and on the next play he chucked a
beautiful pass into the flat to Wolf,
who ran the remaining distance with-
out being touched. Ehmling, the of-
fensive star of the day. plunged for the
extra point. The first half ended af-
ter the kickoff with Drexel leading
13-3.
The third quarter was played for the
most part in mid-field territory with
neither team threatening to score. The
Crusaders' defense picked up quite a
bit during this period as Drexel passes
failed to gain much ground. The locals'
offensive attack was very poor on run-
ning plays as only nine yards could
be picked up in the way of gains dur-
ing this quarter.
A few minutes after the final period
began a Drexel touchdown was recall-
ed as the • visitors were penalized fif-
teen yards for clipping from behind.
With time getting short the Crusaders
cut loose with a desperate aerial at-
tack but a Davis tossed pigskin was
intercepted on the local's twenty and
after several running plays Hughes
skirted left end from the ten yard line.
The try for the extra point failed.
As for outstanding play, credit must
be given to Walt Ehmling who led the
visitors offensively, and Bill Harwick,
Drexel's captain, whose defensive play
was outstanding.
For the best all around play during
the day, Bill Pritchard takes the hon-
ors. Pritchard was in on almost every
play whether it be on offensive or de-
fense. Joe Greco, sophomore end, was
the big gun of the local's offensive at-
tack. The fleet footed lad caught three
passes which were Instrumental aids
in helping the Staggmen advance into
Drexel's territory.

Last weekend our parents came to
the campus and Drexel Institute's
football team also paid us a visit. Be-
fore a crowd of 2000 people the Cru-
saders lost a thrilling contest 19-3.
The score appears to designate a very
one sided game but such is not the
case. The Staggmen held the edge
during the first period but were un-
able to cope with the weight and ex-
perience of the Dragons. Last week's
contest with Haverford caused us to
become very down hearted but this
week despite the fact that our team
lost, we were all very much impressed
by the fighting spirit which possessed
the Crusaders throughout the sixty
minutes of play.
Pritchard Stars: Last Saturday Bill
Pritchard. Susquehanna's 158 pound
end, displayed uncanny ability in
spotting enemy plays and proceeding
to make the tackles. In the last half
Pritchard was instrumental in mak-
ing fourteen of the twenty-nine tackles
which were made from the thirty-one
plays which the Drexel Dragons at-
tempted.
Lewis Scores for Staggmen: Tom
' Lewis has returned to school and has
| brought with him his 250 pounds as
I well as his ability to kick field goals.
( This big junior displayed a great game
on the line and brought back memor-
I ies of the days when the Staggmen
were winning games consistently. As
one upperclassman phrased it, "It
looks like old times to see Lewis lead-
ing the boys down the field after a
score." Before this season is over we
are going to win a number of ball
games, the team is improving daily and
our opponents to come are not doing
such sensational deeds against their
competition.
Happenings: Junie Miller, one of our
football team's consistent ground gain-
ers, was hurt during the first quarter
last Saturday and was unable to see
any more action throughout the day.
However. Dr. Straub found the injury
was not serious, and Miller should be
back into the midst of the mixups in
the Alfred game.
Joe Greco, one of the offensive stars
of Saturday's fracas, takes little con-
cern of the equipment worn by oppon-
ents. In making a tackle behind the
line of scrimmage, he took the entire
sleeve off one husky Dragon. With the
changing of the shirt. Joe was given
a new target upon which to concen-
trate his feat.
Yankees remain champion: The
sport light of the last week was cen-
tered upon the Chicago Cubs and the
New York Yankees as they played the
i 35th World Series. The Yankees dis-
played too much batting power for the
'windy city" lads. The Yankees be-
came the first team in the history of
the national pastime to win three con-
secutive championships and also the
first team to ever win four champion-
ships by the four straight game meth-
od. In the years 1926, 1928, 1932, and
1938 the Ruppert owned lads have won
the event by winning four consecutive
games.

Crusader lettermen will be on the

maining Orange and Maroon gridiron
performers receive their opportunity
to tangle with Scranton-Keystone
Junior College at La Plume.
Last year Susquehanna's non-letter-
men were forced into a tie with the
up-state eleven, and this year Coaches
Stagg and Pritchard are expected to
drill the Crusaders in every depart-
ment thoroughly in preparation for
the game with Scranton-Keystone on
Saturday.
Saturday's contest will provide plenty
of opportunity for many of the first
year gridders to perform against col-
legiate opposition. The gridders who
are expected to see plenty of action at
La Plume include: Horace Kaufman,
Everett Rishel, Monroe Myers, Ken
Lyons, Ed. Roger, and Sanford Blough,
backfield men; Vincent Frattali, Blair
Heaton. Joe Greco, Dave Murray, and
Bill Williams, wingmen; Joe Campana
and Earl Deardorf, guards; Ed Eisen-
hart. Bill Irvine, and Dick Matthews,
tackles; Phil Templin, and Paul Wil-
son, centers. Several of these Crusad-
ers have already seen action in the
first two games this year and have
shown great promises offensively and
defensively.
During the next two weeks the Cru-
sader coaches are expected to put
forth every effort to bring the Orange
and Maroon squad into the win col-
umn when they meet Alfred College
away from home on Saturday, October
21.

How does the Red Cross affect the
colleges and universities of America?
That question is pertinent in view of
the forthcoming Annual Roll Call
which, as in the past, will be held from
Armistice Day to Thanksgiving. Stated
succintly, in colleges and universities
throughout the country the Red Cross
is making it possible for students to
enjoy life more thoroughly and is also
equipping them for their future tasks.
Followers of all sports, and especially
those which take their devotees away
from centers of population such as
skiing, mountaineering, hiking, and
camping have found first aid inval-
uable in making their pleasure safer.
Students of forestry, engineering and
other industrial subjects have recog-
nized that a knowledge of first aid is
almost indispensable to the efficient
performance of their tasks in later life.
In another field, that of life saving,
and general water safety, the Red
Cross is playing an important part.
National headquarters and chapters in
centers where educational institutions
are located cooperate with those in-
stitutions having swimming facilities
by providing instruction in the latest
methods of saving persons in danger of
drowning and reviving those apparent-
ly drowned. Not only does this in-
struction add materially to the enjoy-
ment of water sports and recreation
but many college students have been
able to qualify as life guards at sum-
mer and other bathing resorts as a re-
sult of their Red Cross training. Oth-
ers receive appointments as camp
counsellors and swimming instructors.
In the field of human economics col-
leges and Red Cross chapters are co-
operating in various ways. Student
dietitians are afforded excellent op-
portunities of doing actual field work
by making studies of food budgets and
nutrition needs of individual families
that are being assisted by the local
Red Cross chapters. Courses in sani-
tation and home care of the sick are
provided by Red Cross instructors. The
knowledge acquired by the students of
these courses and in this field work is
proving to be of material benefit in
their later careers as teachers or
housewives.
The Red Cross offers further oppor-
tunities to serve. In times of great
national disasters such as the Ohio-
Mississippi Valley flood of 1937, the
ranks of the volunteer workers are
swelled by representatives of American
colleges and universities. Through the
Red Cross reserve lists of nutritionists
and nurses, qualified college graduates
are afforded an opportunity to serve
with the country's forces of defense in
times of national emergency.
The activities and services which the
Red Cross provides are made possible
by its continued existence as a force-
ful entity, interested in promoting hu-
man welfare. It accomplishes its aims
by direct action such as disaster relief,
or by indirect action such as instruc-
tion in the various subjects designed
to promote safer every day existence.
The generosity of the American col-
lege student in both physical and fin-
ancial support of the Red Cross in the
past has been of great assistance. Dur-
ing the forthcoming Roll Call the Red
Cross again appeals to the college and
university students to express their
faith and confidence in the organiza-
tion which since 1881 has been a friend
to the friendless, has brought a home
to the homeless, that has fed the
starving and has brought aid and com-
fort to countless millions of our people.
Inter-Frat Dance
Climaxes Parents' Day
The first inter-fraternity dance of
this year, which was held in the gym
last Saturday night was an ideal cli-
max to the Parents' Day celebration.
The music of Bruce Bell was invit-
ing, the floor was delightfully smooth,
and the much-awaited time for swing-
ing and swaying was here. The mood
ot the dancers after S. U.'s defeat by
Drexel seemed to lend itself more to-
wards swaying than swinging.
Those things which were more no-
ticeable: The early appearance and
the number of tuxes of the Bond and
Key men; the freshman girls— Snyder,
Barnes. Williams, Fenner, and For-
ney with McCord, Keil, Matthews, Si-
vick, and Frattali respectively; the ab-
sence of the members of the Motet.

Librarian Adds
Source Books to
Library Shelves
Dr. Henry Bagor
Discusses Crusades
The librarian this year has added
many books of the source book type to
the collection on the shelves. The lib-
rary has 14.000 volumes to which many
books are constantly added.
This year the books added are for
the most part standards, books con-
taining source material in a brief di-
gested form. These books are the basic
foundation for all libraries. Miss Hoff-
man has been building up our source
material. Some of the standards added
this year are:
History of Jews — Milman
History of England— Thierry
Tour Through England— DePoe
The Annals — Tacitus
Voyages of Discovery — Cook
Rulers of England— Froude— a set in
eight volumes.
Books have been secured to aid in
every department in the university.
With the new department of Fine Arts
added to the curriculum many books
have been added to give the student a
background for this field. Books that
help the student to acquire a broad
cultural background are of the most
value. Some sixty books of "The Ref-
erence Shelf" set treating of subjects
such as: Chain stores, Lobbying in
Congress, Farm Relief, Compulsory In-
surance, and Tax Exempt Securities
have been purchased.
Many books in the language depart-
ment have been obtained. Some of
them are in Greek. French, Latin, and
German. These should prove to be
reel assets to those students interested
in studying philology.
Emily Post's most recent edition of
Etiquette will be of use to fraternities
and sororities when they plan their
social events.
Anthologies that are on the shelves
for the first this year indexed in Es-
says and Literature are: Encyclopedia
of British Authors of the Nineteenth
Century, Chief American Prose Writ-
ers, and the Dictionary of National
Biography of the Twentieth Century.
A set of standard biographies con-
taining the biographies of Mark Twain
by Albert Paine, "Emerson the Wisest
American" by Phillips Russell; the
University Debaters' Annual in ten
volumes covering a wide range of sub-
jects such as: the constitution, com-
pulsory military training, the parole
system, the superior court disputes,

On Thursday morning in chapel Dr.
Henry H. Bagor spoke to the students.
Dr. Bagor told how the Crusades were
important in three ways to the Chris-
tian of that time; and he explained
how these three ways might be im-
portant to us. The first point was "The
will of God must be done, and must
be done by them;" the second was
"There are many lands which are to
be reclaimed for Christ," and the third
was "That in doing this great joy our
salvation would be obtained by them
in Heaven." The lands which the
Crusaders wished to regain were Jeru-
salem, Bethlehem, and the regions in
which Jesus spent his last few weeks.
In this day and age there is still a
great need for a Crusade; there are
still many lands waiting to be claimed
for Christ, not only lands or peoples
far-distant, but even those near at
home. It is the task for us Christians
to do God's will, and thereby gain
eternal reward. The challenge has
gone forth, urging us to gird ourselves
for the fight.
Dr. Bagor has been the president
of the Pittsburgh Synod, and now is an
executive member of the United Luth-
eran Church. He is a graduate of
Muhlenberg, and of Mount Airy Semi-
nary, where he and President Smith
were very close friends. He has serv-
ed as pastor at Morgantown, West Vir-
ginia, and at Butler, Pa., previous to
his present position.

Injured in Touch-
Ball Contest
Kenneth Kinney, '40, of Wyoming,
and Donald Ford, '41, of Altoona, are
casualties as the result of a collision
during the closing minutes of the op-
ening touch-ball game of the Intra-
Mural schedule held last Monday af-
ternoon on the practice field. Both re-
ceived injuries which at first were
thought to be serious but upon exam-
walk, the girls had little trouble in eat-
ing the lunch: Chili-con-carne, buns,
cheese, pickles, olives, potato chips,
crackers, and coffee.
After everyone had eaten her fill,
the program was begun. Sigma Alpha
Iota was first. Four of their girls, Jo
Carey, Lois Yost, Melissa Smoot, and
Esther Seitzinger, presented a novelty
song in which Joe had the solo part
and Lois added touches of humor at
various points.
Kappa Delta Phi then gave a "melo-
dramer" entitled "United by Love."
The girls who took part in this hair-
raising thriller were as follows: Isabel
Tewkesbury, Elaine Miller, Martha
Jane Tribby, Marian Crompton, Eliza-
beth Reese.
Omega Delta Sigma entertained
next. Shirley Firikbeiner sang two
popular pieces and led the entire
Hollywood producer; and Vane Mingle
as Mr. Gretzel, impatient moving pic-
ture director.

Vocational Leaders For Chapel
The daily chapel programs have served their purpose as
daily periods of devotion. No one can gainsay the fact that a
brief devotional each day does much toward enriching the lives
of all of ns. However, it is our belief that chapel program! can
be greatly enhanced if at certain intervals, men and women who
are leaders in various fields of endeavor are
speakers. Two years ago, this plan was followed. If memory
serves us tightly, we recall that over a period of several Aveeks
a program was arranged whereby a vocational leader in the
vicinity spoke to the student hody at one chapel period a week.
It is also our remembrance that these talks were well received
by the student body.
At Susquehanna, we have students who are preparing for a
variety of professions. Among the anticipated vocations are:
the ministry, medicine, teaching, dentistry, business, and jour-
nalism. The classroom instruction which is received by students
is of the highest caliber and will hold all in good stead in the
workaday world. However, there are certain phases of these
professions which cannot be garnered in the classroom. There
are tips and hints which when given to the prospective minister,
doctor, teacher, or business man may be instrumental in the fu-
ture improvement of his work. We remember quite vividly the
advice given prospective teachers by an educational leader who
spoke at a past chapel program. Then too, many students are
not too well acquainted with their chosen vocations. Talks by
people already in the field would do much toward giving the
student a clear idea of the work in which he intends to spend
his life. It is very possible that we will strengthen our ambition
if leaders of the vocation give an insight of the workings of the
professions. It is with the thought of an augmentation of "book
yarnin' " by practical knowledge that The Susquehanna urges
the development of a program of vocational speakers for the
chapel period.

We do not expect to spend all of our waking hours after college
in the pursuits of our vocations. It is natural for us to expect
that we will have much time for leisure and the enjoyment of a
hobby. What will we do for a hobby if we have not participated
in some extra-academic activity while in college? We will have
no worthwhile diversion if we did not cultivate one while in
school. It has often been said that a person should lose himself
in his interests. However, we advocate that college students
find themselves in pursuits separate from the regular class work.
Many students have found their true place in life by engaging
in an interest that was merely a side line at first. In many cases,

Rarer Than a Day in June
We of Susquehanna University and the immediate vicinity
are exceedingly fortunate at this time of the year in being in a
section of the country where nature lends her greatest artistry
to the making of a magnificent landscape. All about there is a
great evidence of the beauty of autumn in the various colors of
the leaves on the trees and the several other neeoinpaniments of
the fall season of (he year. Now is the time for us to enjoy the
splendor of autumn. In later life, all of us may not find the
time to enjoy the beauty of nature. The final appearance of
foliage before winter comes is, at present, taking place and it is
well that we note it. Admire the magnificence of nature in her
most colorful attire.
At a meeting, October 11, of hockey
captains, Eleanor Saveri, Madalene
Hayes. Jane Hutchinson, and Jean
Milllgan, it was decided that, in order
to insure promptness, teams which are
late will be compelled to forfeit the
game to their opponents.

Gridders to Battle

J. V.'s Lose, 32-14, to
Scranton-Kevstone
<<
RANDOM SPORTS"
Susquehanna's Orange and Maroon
clad gridders will be seeking their first
win of the current grid season when
they battle with Alfred College at Al-
fred, New York, on Saturday night.
October 21. The Crusaders dropped
their opening grid game against Hav-
erford, 7-0, and lost to the Drexel
Dragons, 19-3. Despite the seeming
losing jinx which has been persistently
dogging the footsteps of the Staggmen
for the past year, the Crusaders are
expected to shoot the works against
the Saxons in an effort to drop into
the win column again.
Saturday night's fracas with the
Purple and Gold Saxons will mark the
opening of gridiron relations between
Susquehanna and Alfred. The Cru-
saders will face plenty in the way of
opposition when they tangle with the
Saxons. Although a 20-20 tie with
Ithaca put an end to the eight game
winning streak of the Saxons, the
Purple and Gold gridders appeared
undaunted by the tie and scored a
victory over Buffalo by 7-0. Alfred
was unbeaten and untied throughout
the 1937 campaign.
During the past two weeks the Cru-
sader coaches. A. A. Stagg, Jr., Robert
Pritchard. and Dr. Eric Lawson have
held extensive scrimmages in prepar-
ation for the encounter with the Sax-
ons. Particular emphasis was put on
charging and blocking both offensively
and defensively by the coaches. In the
Crusaders' first two games these de-
partments were below par, and as a
result, the backs were frequently toss-
ed behind the scrimmage line without
gaining yardage. The Crusaders' pass-
ing attack, which has been their main
offensive weapon, is expected to be
further improved for Saturday's tussle
with the Saxons.
Bob Bastress, Louis Baylor, Bob Herr,
and Bill Davis loom as probable start-
ers in the Crusader backfield because
of their veteran varsity experience.
Junie Miller, veteran backfield ace,
will be on the sidelines because of a
knee injury suffered in the Drexel
game. Bill Pritchard, defensive spark-
plug at the wing position in the Drexel
game, Jack Detrick, and Joe Greco will
alternate at the terminal posts; the
tackle and guard positions will in all
probability be taken care of by Ed
Eisenhart, Sam Fletcher. John Mat-
thews, and Harry Mervine; and Henry
Keil, veteran performer, will probably
get the nod at the pivot station.

M RS. G. MORRIS SMITH
ENTERTAINS CAMPUS CLUB
Mrs. G. Morris Smith is entertaining
faculty members and their wives at
tea for the first meeting of the campus
*>». Wednesday, October 19, at the
President's Pine Lawn residence. Mrs.
William A. Russ, Jr.. president of Cam-
Pus Club, expressed the wish that all
those faculty members and wives who
[ound it possible should be present at
this meeting.
Last Saturday the non-lettermen of
this year's Crusader football team
traveled to La Plume and engaged in
a sixty minute tussle with Scranton-
Keystone Junior College. The home
team proved too heavy and possessed
too much scoring punch for the locals
as they walked away with a 32-14 win.
Dave Murray kicked off for the Cru-
sader yearlings and after an exchange
of punts the Keystone lads put on a
j drive which carried them to the locals'
i 30 and scored from that point on a
! pass. The conversion was successful
and the home team went into the
lead, 7-0.
Soon after the second period got un-
| der way the upstate lads staged an-
j other drive deep into Susquehanna's
I territory by means of line bucks and
off-tackle smashes and scored on a re-
I verse from the eight yard line. The
I try for the extra point failed.
Shortly before the first half ended
i the Crusaders scored on a pass from
i "Monk" Meyer to Dave Murray, who
] raced fifteen yards for the score. Blair
Heaton. frosh end, converted the extra
point for the locals. The Scranton
boys reached the payoff line a few sec-
onds before the halftime whistle and
I led 19-7 as the second half got under
i way.
In the third period the Keystone lads
"shot the works" and scored two
touchdowns by marching into Crusader
territory and scoring on passes into
the end zone. This period plainly
showed the weaknesses in the Crusader
defense plan, as the Junior College
lads found holes in the line and open-
ings for passes in the locals' backfield.
However, the Pritchard coached lads
came back in the last period to score
as "Monk" Meyer put the finishing
touches on a Crusader drive by circling
the end for Susquehanna's second
score of the afternoon. Heaton con-
verted the extra point.
"Bucky" Rishel and "Monk" Meyer
led the focals' offensive attack as Blair
Heaton, Phil Templin, and Earl Dear-
dorf played good defensively. Dave
Murray, promising frosh end, suffered
a leg injury in the first quarter of the
fracas and was unable to see further
action, but he is expected to be back
on the firing line this week.
A large amount of credit must be
given to the Keystone team for the
ability they displayed during the en-
tire game. The heavy prep school lads
had little trouble in dealing with the
locals as they were heavier and prac-
tically all veterans.
S
HOW CRUSADER
OPPONENTS FARED
The Crusaders football team is en-
joying a week's rest before jumping
into the last five games of the current
schedule in as many weeks. This gives
the varsity squad a much needed rest
and also gives Coach Stagg and his
assistants Pritchard and Lawson,
plenty of time to scout opponents so
as to get the boys posted on the man-
nerisms of their coming rivals.
Snce we have no football dope on
the Crusader's varsity, we shall en-
deavor to pick up a few notes which
may be of interest to you.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT: We have all
heard plenty about Harry F. Sweeney
and the feats which he performed
while a student at our institution. We
all know that he raced 106 yards for a
touchdown against Colgate in 1922, but
did you know this one? There seems
to be no tangible record as to its truth -
i fulness, but it is told by a Susque-
hanna grad of 1923 and also by Ed-
ward "Snaps" Emanuel, present coach
at Altoona High School, who was pres-
ent when the stunt was performed.
Susquehanna was playing Gettysburg
in baseball, at the battleground school.
The score stood 9-3 in favor of Get-
tysburg going into the first half of the
ninth and Sweeney had made the last
out for the Crusaders in their half of
the eighth. In the ninth, however, the
S. U. lads staged a rally. The score
stood 9-6. the bases loaded, two were
out and our friend Sweeney was due
at the plate. However, Harry had de-
parted to the shower room, thinking
that the game would be over within a
few minutes. The Susquehanna man-
ager routed Sweeney from under the
shower and within a few minutes he
appeared on the diamond clad in his
baseball pants. Harry promptly stun-
ned all those present by sending the
first pitch out of the park and the
Crusaders came back to our campus
with another victory. — Believe it or not
—we believe it!!!
One for You Golfers: Frank Walsh.
Bretton Woods' New Hampshire pro-
fessional, enters the following as the
most unique golf stroke during 1938.
Playing in the North and South cham-
pionship in Pinehurst, N. C, he hook-
ed his iron off the 17th tee into a
clump of trees 25 yards to the left of
the green. The ball landed in a nest
of pine needles, smack up against the
trunk of a tree seven inches thick.
Walsh's line to the pin was stymied
by the tree. After giving this situation
much thought and eliminating each
club as being a weapon with which
he could accomplish any results, he
took his niblick out and bent the steel
shaft over his knee into a U shaped
curve or bow. He took a swipe at the
ball with this improvised club, wrapped

DID YOU KNOW THAT: Dave
Murray, frosh end on the varsity
'squad, was voted on the all-confer-
ence team for high schools in the
Wyoming Valley. Last year while play-
ing end for the G. A. R. High School
in Wilkes-Barre. Dave caught 52 of
the 56 passes intended for him. This
is certainly an accomplishment for the
receiver of the pass as well as the
person who tossed them.
That Henry Keil, center on the Cru-
sader team, has a brother playing half-
back for Union Hill High, Union City,
N. J., and that the metropolitan pap-
ers say that he is one of the best
triple threat backs for scholastic teams
in the State of Jersey.
This year's Crusader basketball team
will play six games before the Christ-
mas vacation, the first one being play-
ed at home on December 2nd.
The main defensive weakness of our
football team is the fact that they lack
ability or practice in the art of tack-
ling an opponent in the open field.

Another epic of adventure in the
mysterious North is brought to the
screen by Paramount with the pro-
duction of SPAWN OF THE NORTH.
Starred in this picture are George
Raft, Henry Fonda, Dorothy Lamour,
Akim TamarofI, and John Barrymore.
In SPAWN OF THE NORTH, we see
Dorothy Lamour in a different role
than any in which she has heretofore
appeared. Those of us who have seen
Miss Lamour as a South Sea enchant-
ress will be pleasantly surprised with
her performance in her current ve-
hicle. Hard-boiled George Raft gives
another of his top-notch performances.
Henry Fonda and John Barrymore are
also seen in fine roles. A high spot of
the picture is reached during the fight
when George Raft fights the seal raid-
ers who are led by that arch-villian
Akim Tamiroff. It can be said that
SPAWN OF THE NORTH is one of
the best stories of the frozen wastes
to come out of Hollywood. For one
hundred and ten minutes of thrills and
excitements, see SPAWN OF THE
NORTH, another Movie Quiz picture.

I'LL GIVE A MILLION, produced by
Twentieth-Century Fox, stars Warner
Baxter, Marjorie Weaver, Peter Lorre,
and Jean Hersholt. This film gives us
the story of a rich young bachelor
who is surrounded by supposed friends
who are interested in nothing but his
money. In the development of the
story the rich man is brought to
France penniless and without friends.
He befriends a half-wit to whom he
confides that he would give a million
dollars for a true friend. With his
disappearance, a great search is made
for the wealthy person. He finally se-
cures a job with a small circus and
meets a girl who proves to be a true
friend. The denouement brings a
clearing-up of the story and the sub-
sequent marriage of the rich man and
the girl who befriended him. Warner
Baxter in the role of the young Midas
gives a masterful performance, as does
Marjorie Weaver and the others of the
cast.

Republic brings to the screen an-
other western thriller in UNDER

Smiley Burnette, and Carol Hughes.
This film gives to us the story of two-
gun men, hard riding action, and love
characteristic of the west. Roy Rogers
depicts all of the virtues of the west-
ern hero while the humor is supplied
by Smiley Burnette. Carol Hughes, a
favorite in western pictures, is a
charming heroine. For a good west-

Dear Mr. Blough:
At a meeting of the Inter-Fraternity
Council at Phi Lambda Theta Fratern-
ity house on October 11, 1938, you were
accused wrongly of having committed
an act which the Council considered as
illegal rushing for the Phi Mu Delta
Fraternity. As this matter is of ex-
treme importance to you and to the
Phi Mu Delta Fraternty, the accusa-
tion was investigated thoroughly by
members of the Council.
Since the investigation revealed that i
the charges were entirely false, the j
Council members from Phi Lambda j
Theta Fraternity and the Bond and |
Key Club submit their sincere apolo-
gies.
We hope that this written apology
will meet with your approval.
Sincerely yours,

Crusaders to Attempt Lanthorn Editors
Comeback Against Plan Improvements
Moravian Eleven
This coming Saturday. October 29.
Homecoming Day will be celebrated on
our campus and the football attraction
of the day will see Coach Stagg's Cru-
saders battling with the Moravian Col-
lege Greyhounds. The opening whistle
will be sounded at 2:00 P. M. and to
those who have witnessed both elevens
battle there seems to be no doubt that
the teams will be evenly matched.
This week Coach Stagg and his as-
sistants, Dr. Lawson and Bob Pritch-
ard. will put the locals through the
most comprehensive practice sessions
of the present season. Since local
scouts have seen Moravian in action
several times this season, there is
plenty of ground for practice and con-
centration on both offensive and de-
fensive. Since the Greyhounds are re-
puted to have a heavy and fast charg-
ing line. Coaches Lawson and Pritch-
ard are expected to stress charging
and blocking for the forward wall of
the Crusaders.
The Moravian team, coached by Ed-
ward Snavely and Gil Gillesppi, has
had remarkable success in their en-
counters to date. They have defeated
Ithaca and Juniata and lost to a strong
Albright team last Saturday. The
Greyhounds have practically a veteran
team and boast several triple-threat

Stuart Chase
Susquehanna University's second
Star Course number will present Stuart
Chase, noted commentator on econom-
ic and social problems, on Wednesday
evening. November 2, at eight-fifteen
P. M. in Selbert Hall Chapel.
The author of several books, Mr.
Chase discusses current economic prob-
lems in a way that is thoroughly un-
derstandable by the layman. His com-
ments are presented in a manner that
shows insight and with informal hu-
mor. He has studied numerous eco-
nomic subjects as evidenced by his var-
iety in the choice of topics for his
books. Among his better known works
are: "The Tragedy of Waste," "Men
and Machines," "A New Deal." "The
Economy of Abundance." "Government
in Business." and "Rich Land. Poor
Land."
In connection with the Star Course.
it is reported that a number of stu-
dents have not called for their tickets.
The authorities request that these
tickets be lifted.
Intensive work has begun on the 1940
"Lanthorn," annual publication of the
i junior class. This year will mark the
J forty-third appearance of the "Lan-
j thorn" since it was begun in 1896. Ac-
■ cording to Burton Richard, editor, the
staff is planning many changes and
| improvements in the 1940 book. These
improvements include: better campus
; views and portraits, an enlarged per-
sonality section, and a novel dedica-
i tion.
The photography this year is being
done by the Penn State Photo Shop of
! State College. Burton Richard has an-
nounced that he expects every picture,
except that of the basketball squad, to
; be finished by this evening. This year
the faculty will have individual por-
| traits, and the fraternity men will be
l pictured in panels.
The literary and business staffs re-
sponsible for this year's "Lanthorn"
are: literary staff, Burton Richard,
editor-in-chief; Anne Hill, Frances
Williams, Robert Sander, William Nye,
Harold Saunders, Leon Haines, Eunice
Arentz, Virginia Mann, Paul Shatto,
Michael Wolf, Arthur White. Sarah
Williams, Ruth Schwenk, and Nancy
Griesemer: business staff, Kenneth
Kinney, business manager; Naomi
Bingman, first assistant; Donald Bill-
man, Reginald Schofleld, William
Troutman, Florence Reitz. Lois Davis,
Morris Housel. John Lawrence, and
Chester Byers.
The staff plans many other interest-
ing changes which will not be an-
nounced until the appearance of the
publication. The Susquehanna Uni-
versity year book will be the first one
completed by the photographers of this
year; the book should be ready for
distribution on or about May Day, 1939.
Editor Richard asks the student body
to cooperate with the staff when ap-
proached for information in order that
the 1941 "Lanthorn" may be accurate,
complete, and artistic.

In an interview with Dean Russell
Gait, it was discovered that members
of the faculty and the student body
had raised questions about the short-
ening of vacations and the lengthening
of the school year as announced in the
college catalog. Acting upon these re-
i quests, Dean Gait investigated the
| matter and found that the Department
of Public Instruction at Harrisburg of-
j ficially recommended for accreditment
| a semester of eighteen weeks but al-
j lowed a college administration to re-
duce this requirement if it thought
that the eighteen weeks of work could
be covered in less time.
After investigation and consultation
| with administrative officials. Dean Gait
i recommended that the former college
| catalog (giving longer vacations and a
shorter total year) be restored for the
present school year. He then pointed
J out that he would note carefully
i whether or not the student body was
able to do the required amount of work
in the shortened schedule, and that
this would be determined by the stu-
dents' attitude toward scholarship and
toward the attendance regulations. If
large numbers of students were care-
less in matters of scholarship, played
with the attendance regulations and
demanded further days off before and
after the longer vacations, he would
feel justified in recommending to the
faculty that it abandon the shorter
school year. Dean Gait pointed out
f hat, because the Department of Pub-
lic Instruction at Harrisburg had given
the administration of the college lib-
erty at this point, it would be neces-
sary for the college to keep faith with
^he Department and guarantee that its
students would do the required quan-
tity of work.

S. C. A. Is Addressed
|By President Smith
On Thursday evening, October 20,
| in the social rooms of Seibert Hall, a
i joint meeting of the S. C. A. was held
!at which time President G. Morris
Smith talked about "The Student's
! Observance of the Christian Sabbath."
He traced the Sabbath back to the very
creation of things when God worked
for six days, and then rested on the
seventh and hallowed It. The next
mention of the Sabbath is found in the
Ten Commandments where we are told
to "Remember the Sabbath Day to
keep it holy." During the days In
which Moses was leading the children
' out of the bondage in Egypt, the people
rebelled against what they considered
to be Moses' will but which was in
reality God's holy will. Thus it is that
we must also remember that in keep-
ing or breaking the Sabbath, it is
God's will that we are obeying or dis-
obeying and not a mere convention of
man's mind. Until Christ clarified the
observance of the Sabbath, man con-
sidered this day of rest and gladness
to be a period of mourning and con-
finement in which petty laws and ul-
timatums, created by the rabbis and
those in power, were to be strictly ad-
hered to. That is why Christ, when
taken to task for breaking the Sab-
bath, said: "I come not to destroy the
law; but to fulfill it." From Christ's
life we may accept three truths about
the observance of the Lord's Day: (1)
It Is a day of rest, both mental and
physical; (2) It is a day of worship in
which we are to get ourselves in tune
with God; and (3) It is a day In which
we should do deeds of mercy

Welcome Alumni
Susquehanna's picturesque campus again will be the scene
of the annual alumni Homecoming Day on Saturday when many
old grads return to mingle with their former classmates. To
many alumni this annual pilgrimage to the scenes of their for-
mer student days at Susquehanna University bring! back many
hued recollections. Many graduates of Susquehanna have fully
qualified themselves for a place among the successful college
graduates throughout the country and have further set up high
standards for future grads of Susquehanna to reach. Whatever
interest these successful alumni may have in remaining loyal
to their beloved alma mater has been received largely during
their student days in the classroom, on the athletic field, in
particular activities and especially through the associations
with their classmates. When they return on Saturday undoubt-
edly they -will observe these particular phases of student life
which they once called their own. It is up to the student body
of Susquehanna to extend their heartiest welcome to the alumni
and make them feel once more that they are as much a part of
Susquehanna as the undergraduate, and the faculty member.
Student activities will reach a new high for the annual
Homecoming Day with the traditional frosh-soph football game
and the annual alumni hockey game in the morning; the pigskin
classic between Susquehanna and Moravian, with the university
band in new uniforms furnishing a colorful background; and
climaxed by the dances at the fraternity houses in the evening.
The entire student body is urged to give full support to the
extensive programs with all possible enthusiasm and spirit. Of
the freshmen, who have not yet witnessed or taken part in a
Homecoming celebration, it is expected that thy will appear
courteous and respectful in showing the grads a warm welcome
and lend their full support in every possible manner at the foot-
ball game. The alumni expect it of you and it is up to every one
to carry on in the traditional spirit exemplary of true sons and
daughters of Susquehanna University,
As a final expression of welcome to the alumni, The Sus-
qiehqnna urges that a prevailing spirit of enthusiasm and re-
spect be shown by all so that they will long cherish this day at
Susquehanna and return to their beloved alma mater each year
for another reunion with their former classmates.
S
What ho, heigh ho, and a couple of
good hoorays! At last, your old faith-
ful Peg has come to her own, her na-
tive class. To begin with a bang ( that's
what we frosh did) we mention Arty
Wilson, president of the freshman
class. It is said <by an upperclassman,
so it must be true) that if there had
been a contest for the most winning
smile on the campus, Arty would have
won it. He isn't the only winner in
our class— Jean Milligan has the only
freshman berth on {he women's var-
sity hockey team. <You played a swell
game Saturday, Jean.) I could mention
a few other conquests she has made,
on and off the campus, too, but my
discretion just won't permit it.
Discretion, how I long to be a sen-
ior and have the discretion and poise
that four years of college will give me.
Of course, some of our class have
started with a good quantity of it—
notably Betty Brand, blond bit of
something new on the campus. Have
you noticed the number of blonds?
There's Lila Barnes (lead for "Stage
Door," by the way), Anne Yount, and
roommate June Snyder.
Although Lila will be Terry for the
Susquehanna Players' version of "Stage
Door," there is another in the class
who will, if you mention the play, set
off into a dramatization of Terry's
lines; especially the lily scene, eh what,
Forest? Often confused (in name)
with Forest, is Foster Heckler, who
hails from Windber.
Right now my nominations for best
lookers in the freshman class would be
Bob MacQuesten and Dave Murray.
Don't tell them, anyone. The room-
mate team of Murray and Long John
cannot be ignored either. You've all
seen Long John, haven't you? He's
that boy who makes Seibert pillars
look small. Speaking of beating it out,
we have Wellman who's quite fond of
beating it out — in Seibert social room.
The conservatory makes its contri-
bution quite liberally this year. First
there's June Hendricks — she'd rather
lead a band. Janet Shockey, petite
member of the class, you all remember
as Motet soloist, when the choir sang
in chapel. Also petite is Blanche For-
ney, who has the wise cracking role
of Judith in "Stage Door." We'll be
waiting to see you (and hear you,
Blanche) on November 18. Now I come
to Nancy, who hails from Minnesota,
where men are Swedish, and so is
everyone else.
Football fellows? We've got plenty
of them. There's Templin, Matthews,
Heaton, Murray, and Irvine, just to
mention a few.
Then there's Shusta, Schmidt's
nomination for class lady killer. Burke
and Rainey of the Conservatory of
Music (how I seem to come back to
that dear old Con) each possess a
bowl-em-over voice, or so say the con
kids I know.
Since I have been here such a short
time, I haven't really gotten to know
all my classmates, but right now I can
think of several more who stand out in
my mind — Chuck Kline, he's so cute;
Jack Mayer, he's so red-headed; Ed-
win Smith, he's so reserved; and Carl-
ton Kiebach, he's so funny.
Funny, that brings me to the card
of them all, Shoemaker. In fact, he's
a whole deck; just ask Professor Gil-
bert. By the way, Paul, was it four or
five furniture stores?
Sweet is <the word for two freshman
girls I have come to know just lately—
Maude Miller (not of "on a summer's
day" fame) and Lois Schweitzer.
Anything beautiful is always appre-
ciated in a city, town, or on campus,
so I guess we all realize why it is a
matter of Sivick pride to have a girl
like Jeanne Fenner around. And as
for your writer, just look for Peg, she's
round, and not the mulberry bush,
either.
PEG FROSH.

"THE CAMPUS COLTC"
What Really Counts?
Often (pioted and more often forgotten is the platitude
about the little things in life which make the world go round.
Usually, editorially and poetically, the angle presented for con-
sideration of the leader is that of doing things, small favors, for
others in an effort to make life happier.
For once, let us look at the idea from a selfish point of view.
Let us try to make ourselves happy by observing and appreciat-
ing more non-essentials of our environment.
A pleasant smile from a friend, an especially beautiful
morning, the extra letter from home, all these things afford op-
portunity to make a bright spot in your day. Of course, these
are all simpler things, but a new appreciation of simpler plea-
sures would alleviate perhaps an unbelievable amount of bore-
dom, brought on by our present taste for the complex, high ten-
sion amusement Recently William Allen Neilson, president of
Smith College, expressed this opinion: "If you don't know how
to entertain yourselves, cut out all entertainment until you have
acquired a fresh appetite.
Development of our sensitivities for the little things is a
step toward happier and more emotionally stable life.
Bj
The first election of a president, after the ratification of the
articles of Confederation, took place November 5, 1781, in Phila-
delphia, when .John Hanson, an outstanding Lutheran, was
chosen as "President of the United States in Congress as-
semhled." This assembly of Congress met within a few weeks
titer Washington's glorious victory at Yorktown. .John Hanson
was one of Maryland's greatest statesmen and he contributed a
full share to the success of those stupendous undertaking! of the
American Revolution. He was the leading light in Maryland's
every move from tin* beginning to the end of thai period.
Hear ye! All you nice little children,
a great event is soon to take place.
Sivick when discussing with some of
the boys what be would do with the
money if he won the Irish Sweep-
stakes remarked, "If I won the sweep-
stakes I'd wake up." Well it does have
to happen sometime doesn't it? Or
does it?
Let me, in my own little way, sin-
cerely congratulate the Beta Kappa
fraternity fellows and wish them all
the luck in the world in their new fra-
ternity. Congrats, fellows.
The fish club has become quite popu-
lar lately, especially among the faculty
members. It seems that Miss DuFrain
is the latest member. If any one else
wishes to join see Lalich about a mem-
bership card. Don't forget to pay your
nickel on the way in.
Will some one tell me, it matters
not who, just who is Peg Frosh. Really,
vou know, I would like to have a date.
Come on, Art, you're president of the
class, get busy and find out who she
is. For you it shouldn't be so much
trouble.
After getting a date for the home-
coming dance Spiggle remarked, "Now
if I just knew the girl it would be O.
K." It seems that he has a lot of
faith in blind dates. Let's all hope he
isn't disappointed.
It seems to me that something ought
to be done about MacQuesten. When
he walked past G. A. the other day, a
very nice girl was heard to remark,
"Every time he goes by I have cardiac
palpitations at an accelerated rate."
Poor girl. You want to know who she
is! Well really I shouldn't break con-
fidences you know but I'm sure that
MacQuesten would be very happy to
tell you.
Recently I was asked to substitute
at left wing for a practice game with
the girls' hockey team. But I took one
look at the varsity right wing and right
inner and then refused. Thank you.
but I'll stick to some safe game like
football; at least you never have two
fullbacks coming at you at the samp
time with sticks in their hands ready
to commit mayhem and murder. Af-
ter all I do want to live a while longer
anyhow.
It seems that Barry gets a dollar
for every A he get in tests. Well, he
now owes Young who marks his A
papers $.75. Too bad I can't get in
on this racket.
I wonder what Joe Zavarich would
do without his hat. I've never seen
him without it and the other night
when I walked into his room there he
was in bed fast asleep and his hat
still remained to warm his cranium.
Shatto has a great love for moving
pictures; in fact, his room is covered
with them.
It seems a shame that the athletic
fellows on the campus are always at
a disadvantage. Take for instance
Mayer who got a cut lipe at basket-
ball practice. The poor boy was going
home that weekend.
Since I know nothing more about
somebody and much less about every-
body I'll now proceed to go to sleep
and I hope that everybody will have
as sweet dreams as I do.

SORORITIES PARTICIPATE
IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES
S, C. A. MAKES PLANS TO
lioi.l) MASQUERADE ON OCT. 28
Sorority activities in the past month
have Included a breakfast hike for S.
A. I., a dinner party for O. D. S., and
a weiner roast for K. D. P.
The girls of K. D. P. started from
Seibert at seven-thirty Tuesday even-
ing, October 18 and hiked along the
Susquehanna River. Marion Cromp-
ton officiated as fire-maker for the
weiner roast. Stars and songs added
to the pleasure of the hikers as they
returned. Miss Kruger accompanied
the group.
Food was also the chief interest in
O. D. S.'s party on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 12. The girls enjoyed one of the
Homestead Inn's popular chicken a la
1 king dinners. The table conversation
provided food for thought. After din-
ner, a majority of the girls went to
the movies. A few returned to their
studies.
The S. A. I. members displayed their
fortitude by getting up at six A. M.

The Student Christian Association is
making plans to hold a masquerade in
conjunction with the Student Body Pep
Meeting this Friday evening, October
28. At the time this issue went to
press, plans for the affair were not
definitely formulated. However, it is
; the intention of the committee headed
■ by Miss Miriam Miller, to have the
masquerade follow the pep meeting
and parade which will last until ap-
proximately seven-thirty. It is ex-
pected that the party will continue to
ten o'clock and that a bonfire will fol-
low. The bonfire is traditional to the
: Homecoming Celebration.
Members of the Student Christian
Association will be admitted to the
masquerade upon the presentation of
their membership cards while non-
members will be charged an admission
fee of fifteen cents.

The story of a great work is brought
to the screen by Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer with the release of BOYS'
TOWN in which Spencer Tracy and
Mickey Rooney are starred. This film
gives us the screen dramatization of a
true story and of the work of Father
Flanagan to set up a home for home-
less boys. His early trials and tribu-
lations in the establishment of Boys'
Town to his success with the work is
clearly and entertainingly pictured.
The role of Father Flanagan is played
by Spencer Tracy, whose performance
in BOYS' TOWN equals his work in
CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS. Mickey
Rooney has the part of the unruly
youngster, who gives Father Flanagan
trouble, but later becomes a valuable
member oi Boys' Town. Mickey's
"tough guy" characterization is a fea-
ture of the picture and is done in the
inimitable Rooney manner. Also, in
BOYS' TOWN with stellar roles are:
Henry Hull, Bob Watson, and Gene
Reynolds. The full length of BOYS'
TOWN is ninety -five minutes, every
one of which is crammed with excite-
ment, thrills, comedy, and fine moving
picture entertainment. This is a Movie
Quiz picture.

MEN ARE SUCH FOOLS, starring
Wayne Morris, Priscilla Lane, Humph-
rey Bogart, and Hugh Herbert, comes
to the local theatre. This film produc-
ed by Warner Brothers, is packed with
comedy and also has an interesting
plot to furnish the base for the story.
Hugh Herbert, Hollywood's silliest
male, is once again seen in the type of
role which makes one roar with mirth
provoked by Hugh's wise-cracks and
laugh-provoking antics. Wayne Morris
is usually seen in "He-man" pictures,
but nevertheless his performance in his
current film is certainly a crowd-pleas-
er. Humphrey Bogart and Priscilla
Lane have powerful roles which they
handle very well. It is seldom that we
l have a picture as star-studded as is
MEN ARE SUCH FOOLS. For sev-
enty minutes of laughs, see this pic-
ture.

| Gene Autry is seen again in another of
the pictures he does so well, MAN

gives us a fast-moving western drama
replete with thrills, hard-riding, and
quick gun-play. In addition to these
features, is the singing of Gene Autry
whose rendition of western ballads has
enthralled many audiences. Also seen
in THE MAN FROM MUSIC MOUN-
TAIN are Smiley Burnette. and Carol
Hughes, both favorites with western
picture fans. Advance Notices inform
us that THE MAN FROM MUSIC

United Artists present Charles Boy-
er, Hedy Lamarr, and Sigrid Gurie in
ALGIERS. This is a gripping drama
surrounding a jewel thief fugitive
practically buried alive in the native
quarter of Algiers with trick after trick
being used to lure him from his hiding
place. The majority of the action takes
place in the Casbah, the Arab section
of Algiers. Charles Boyer makes his
hide-out in the Casbah and is thought
by the natives to be a hero and the
idol of the section. However, he suc-
cumbs to the charms of a pretty sight-
seer and it is through his desire to
see this attractive woman that police
are able to trap him. The Oriental
setting of the film enhances the in-
triguing atmosphere. The spirit of the
picture is such that one imagines him-
self carried away to the Casbah,
Charles Boyer is superb in the role of
the fugitive jewel-thief while Hedy
Lamarr lives up to all advance raves
concerning her beauty and acting abil-
ity. Sigrid Gurie, Alan Hale, and Jo-
I seph Calleia turn in sterling bits of
work. ALGIERS is a Movie Quiz pic-
ture.

Kay Francis gives another stellar
presentation in MY BILL, a Warner
Brothers picture. The story is that of
a widowed mother who is left with four
children, and a lot of bills after go-
ing through an inherited estate. The
three eldest children reprove their
mother, but the youngest offers to
help. The mother is able to borrow
from the local bank manager to satis-
fy creditors. However, the town gos-
sips make much of the loan from the
bank manager who was a former sweet-
heart of the widowed mother. The
youngest son sells newspapers and up-
on the death of an aged recluse the boy
inherits her fortune. Thus the family
is united and fittingly, the reunion oc-
curs on Mother's Day. In addition to
Kay Francis, the cast includes sucfi
stars as Dickie Moore, Bonita Gran-
ville, Anita Louise, John Lite).

quarter when Gardner was the spear-
head of another attack which carried
the Saxons across the Crusaders' goal
line for a second touchdown. Bob Bas-
tress took the kick-off after the touch-
down on his own 15-yard line and
eluded the Saxon tacklers for seventy
yards before he was brought down on
the Saxons' 20-yard marker. The first
half ended as Bastress desperately at-
tempted to shoot a pass to keep the
Crusaders in the game. The Crusad-
ers' real opportunity to score appeared
in the second quarter when they had
the ball on Alfred's 7-yard line. A 15-
yard penalty forced the Crusaders back.
but they were unable to cross the Sax-
ons' goal line from there. The Cru-
saders gained most of their yardage
during the first half but they used
these gains to ill-advantage, when they
were in sight of the Saxons' goal.
The third quarter was played in the
Crusaders' territory with the local
gridders constantly repulsing the at-
tempts of the Saxon backs to make
additional scores. Early in the fourth
quarter the Purple and Gold gridders
staged another -concerted drive to toe
Crusaders' goal line by means of short
passes behind the Orange and Maroon
forward wall and reverses. Gardner
again scored on a half spinner from
the Crusaders' 10-yard line.
Gardner, Purple and Gold fullback,
scored all of Alfred's touchdowns; he
was constantly breaking through the
Crusaders' line for extra yardage. Out-
standing in the Crusaders' offensive
drives was Bob Bastress. whose punt-

You gotta be mean— the attitude
which football men taken when in a
game.
Take the lid off the bucket — expres-
sion used by basketball men during the
opening minutes of the game in mak-
ing an effort to start the scoring.
Steal a hassock — expression used by
baseball men when they report their
having stolen a base.
Submarine your way— method used
by linemen to stop the line bucks of
opponents. In other words "go under"
the pile.
Set ups — the word used to designate
under the basket shots in a basketball
game.
Tools of ignorance— the paraphre-
nalia used by a baseball catcher.
Take the nod — when a football coach
I gives one of the players on the bench
jthe signal to enter the game.
Stick it up — expression used on the
basketball court to tell a team mate
to shoot the ball.
Goldbricking — when a player fakes
an injury in such a manner that he
may be able to fool his opponent when
a crucial moment comes.
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
There is a freshman in school from
the state of New Jersey who is able
to run the mile at a 4:47 rate? If this
lad performs this fast he will auto-
matically break the standing school
record. The track outlook appears
much brighter since a number of frosh
with high school experience have ar-
rived on our campus.
Art White, Jack Mayer, and Chuck
Kline look like very capable basketball
aspirants, their play in the pre-season
drills being nothing short of sensa-
tional.
The Crusader football team viewed a
drowned man who was pulled out of
| the Tioga River. Clair Kaltreider was
frightened to the extent that he
wouldn't leave the bus while Louie
Baylor came close to performing an
autopsy on the unfortunate one.
Bill Pritchard was clipped from the
rear so hard in the Alfred game that
his ankle wraps broke.
Sam Fletcher tackled the Alfred
quarterback so hard that both were
rendered unconscious.
"Sparky," the cheerful bus driver for
the school athletic teams, may offer a
course at the University the second
semester. The name of his class is ex-
pected to be called, "How to Avoid Be-
ing Hit by Lady Drivers." "Sparky"
should be very well informed about
safety driving since this marks his
tenth year of driving for the school
and to date not one mishap has oc-
curred.

an exponent of the single wing back
formation and gives special stress to

deceptive passing attack.
The Crusaders will be in top shape
for the annual Homecoming encounter
since there were no serious injuries
sustained during last Saturday's game
with Alfred. Bob Bastress and "Bucky"
Rishel will carry the heavy part of the
Crusader running attack with Bob
Herr and Louie Baylor doing the
blocking. Bill Pritchard, Joe Greco,

vice at the terminal posts; Sam
Fletcher, Dick Matthews, and Tom
Lewis will be at the tackle posts; Harry
Mervine and John Matthews will be
ready to charge at the guard posts;
and Phil Templin and Henry Keil will
operate at the pivot position.
A large crowd of graduates are ex-
pected to return to witness the game
and Coach Stagg and the members of
the team are out in earnest to win
from the Moravian team. With the
unflinching support of the student
body the Crusaders should be able to
break the string of defeats which have
marred our athletic record for the past
several weeks.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1938
Frosh Prepare for
Traditional Pigskin
Encounter With Sophs
The gridiron of Susquehanna Uni- !
versity will be the scene of battle Sat- j
urday morning. October 29, at approxi- '
mately 10 o'clock, when the annual I
Freshman-Sophomore football game ]
will take place. We say approximately j
10 o'clock because there is some doubt
in the minds of the freshman players ■
whether the sophs will get enough
courage to give them a good battle.
As usual, the sophomores in their
swaggering manner predict a one-sid- j
ed victory for themselves. Their line- '
up will probably include such stellar
players are "Deamon" Powell, "Hot-
Shot" Thatcher, "Flash" (Gordon)
Ford, "Tiger" Reese, "Mother's Boy"
Schadel. and a few others of the same
caliber. Whether the high and mighty
sophomores are afraid to practice un-
der the watchful eyes of the frosh
scouts or whether they are bashful
about putting their highly touted team
into real action before the game re- J
mains a mystery. All the frosh can
gather is that the sophomore team re-
ceived a setback in a practice scrim-
mage with the girls' hockey club. This
is only a rumor, but it came from a re-
liable source. Because of the past rec-
ord of the class of "41" the faculty has
stepped in to place a searching squad
in the midst of the sophs before they
come onto the field to relieve them of j
their playthings such as black jacks,
knives, gas pipes, and other good-luck I
charms.
But enough of this. What about the
freshmen? Naturally in their quiet,
unpretentious manner, they are secret-
ly planning the best method of under-
mining the sophomore attack. It has
been quoted that revenge is sweet, and
the frosh hope to satisfy their "saccha-
riferousness" which has been recently
aggravated by the rude interruption of
the frosh get-away. Actions speak
louder than words — hence the quiet at-
titude of the freshman team. Among
the freshmen participants in the inter-
class tilt are to be the following: Art
Wilson, Paul Rainey, Martin Hopkins,
Frank Sidler, and many others, all
waiting patiently to literally shove
their rivals over the field.
Both teams will have many of their
respective classmates to cheer them on
in victory or in defeat. To the victors
belong the spoils.
S
New Features
Added To Library
Announcement has been made by
Miss Hester Hoffman, librarian of the
College Library, that a slot has been
installed in the woodwork beside the
main entrance to the building to fa-
cilitate the return of reserve books at !
any hour of the day or night. The
improvement which resembles a night
deposit apparatus of a bank should !
enable all students to return books
promptly. According to Miss Hoffman,
students have no difficulty or delay in
returning all books by making use of
the automatic book slot.
The addition of several magazines
to the magazine rack has also been
recently affected. Among the new
magazines are "Fortune," "The School
Musician." "Magazine of Art," "Ac- j
counting Review," "Avocations," "Mu- '
sic Educator's Journal." 'Scholastic,
Scientific Monthly," "Survey of Cur-
rent Business."
Miss Hoffman has also announced
that a new service will be inaugurated
for the coming Star Course presenta-
tion which will feature Stuart Chase
on the evening of Wednesday, Novem-
ber 2. Books and articles by Mr. Chase
will be exhibited so that the interested
students may be acquainted before
hand with some of the speaker's be-
liefs and ideas. It is the intention of
those connected with the library to
make this service available periodically
so that students will have a better
knowledge of lecturers who come to the
campus.
S
SORORITIES PARTICIPATE
IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES
annual Frosh-Soph football game will
be played amid all the usual tradition.
Even though this game may not be the
best technically perfect football played,
it is sure to be one of the most excit-
ing and peppiest games ever played. At
ten-thirty o'clock, our girls' Varsity
Field Hockey team will play an alum-
nae team which is being rounded up
by Miss Margaret Corson, '37. Our var-
sity team has been doing quite a lot of
practicing this year and all those who
attend this game should see some fine
hockey.
All speeches have been eliminated
this year and grads will be welcome to
lunch where they please.
Probably one of the very most im-
portant attractions of the program is
the football game in the afternoon.
The Susquehanna Crusaders will meet
the Greyhounds of Moravian. The
kick-off will be at two o'clock. Susque-
hanna and Moravian are traditional
rivals. Last year Moravian beat S. U.
7-6 and so Susquehanna is ready for
revenge. This game, our second home
battle, will be an unusually spectacular
one because the uniforms for the band
have now arrived. There will be fine
music, marching, and formations by
the group in their dazzling new out-
fits. Everyone will be anxious to see
this display.
After the game there will be alumni
reunions on the campus and in the
various fraternity homes.
In the evening, each fraternity will
hold its annual Homecoming Day
dance. Each individual house will wel-
come its own alumni and plan its own
program, but each one is certain to
be a success. It is interesting to note
that this will be the first dance held
by the Beta Kappa fraternity on this
campus. Beta Kappa was formerly Phi
Lambda Theta.
Susquehanna is proud to welcome its
alumni back to the campus. All is
ready for them and this Homecoming
Day will without doubt go down in S.
U. history as a success. All alumni
have been urged to attend and the stu-
dents and faculty are ready to enter-
tain all guests as only Susquehanna
can.

ulty. Meantime the purchase of stan-
ward works, source material and defin-
itive editions goes on, so that by the
close of this year another substantial
number of basic books will have been
acquired by the library and will be
available for use. The library now pos-
sesses nearly 15,000 books, and this will
be materially increased by June, bring-
ing our library well up for our own
and future classes.
Other advances which Miss Hoff-
man hopes now to be able to make in-
clude ( 1 ) a revision of and building up
of our pamphlet file, by the addition
of much valuable pamphlet material
now largely unused because it is un-
sorted and unfiled, »2) expansion of
the magazine room in the basement
which is already a vast improvement.
A visible record file which has been
completed will constantly make our
many thousand magazines more use-
ful. (3) revision and expansion of the
card catalog, by the addition of ana-
lytics, i. e. cards for the separate chap-
ters and pages in books on important
or elusive topics. <4t indexing of many
valuable sets containing standard ma-
terial, whose contents are not now in-
cluded in the card catalog. These in-
clude the Harvard Classics. University
Debaters' series. Smithsonian Scien-
tific series, etc. (5) building up of a
miscellaneous file of scrap informa-
tion, such as biographies and notes on
authors, etc.. appearing in the Satur-
day Review of Literature, the Publish-
ers' Weekly; Nobel prize winners, etc.
6) taking of an inventory; this is
badly needed.
In addition, the library has already
started a series of periodic exhibits of
material on timely subjects. The cur-
rent exhibit is of books by Stuart
Chase, who lectures here on November
2, thus giving the student body an op-
portunity to become informed in ad-
vance of his lecture, on some of his
unique and original ideas.
We are certainly glad to see the lib-
rary moving ahead!

Crusaders Oppose
Lebanon Valley In
Final Home Battle
Dr. Fisher to Aid College Celebrates
In Marker Unveiling Homecoming With
Variety of Events
STUART CHASE WILL LECTURE
IN STAR COURSE SERIES
Susquehanna's Orange and Maroon
pigskin toters will be playing their last
home game on University Field of the
current grid season with Lebanon Val-
ley this Saturday. Although the Cru-
caders have yet to win a game this
season, they are pointing to this battle
with the Valley lads for a victory
which would again put them on the
way to additional victories.
The Flying Dutchmen from Lebanon
Valley College have shown consider-
able power in vanquishing their pre-
vious foes to date, turning in a 9-6
decision over Moravian and an over-
whelming 53-0 victory over Hartwick
Coiiege. This year the Blue and White
gridders have shown that they are
considerably improved over the elevens
which have represented the Valley
institution for the past several years.
Although lacking in sheer weight and
strength, the Valley eleven is fast. It
is through this last department that
they have been able to outclass their
opponents this year.
The Crusaders' 13-7 loss to the Mo-
ravian Greyhounds last Saturday prov-
ed a recurrence of their previous en-
counters during the season. The Or-
ange and Maroon gridders were deep
in Moravian's territory several times,
but failed at each attempt to score a
touchdown. Bob Bastress was the only
effective back against the Greyhounds
last Saturday as he was forced to cart
the pigskin without effective blocking
on the part of the other backfield per-
formers. During the present week
Coach Stagg is expected to attempt to
groom a running mate for Bob Bas-
tress in an effort to convert the run- j
ning attack of Bob Bastress and the !
passing attack of the Crusaders into j
touchdowns. The Orange and Maroon !
forward wall showed considerable pow- ;
er in stopping the offensive drives of I
the Greyhounds; however, several I
times the Crusaders' pass defense
crumbled and permitted the Grey- !
hounds to score via the aerial route.
S
The Snyder County Historical So-
ciety under the presidency of Dr.
George E. Fisher, of the Susquehanna
University faculty, joins with the State
Historical Commission for the unveil-
ing of the Albany Treaty Marker two
miles north of Selinsgrove on the Sus-
quehanna Trail. The unveiling exer-
cises will be held at 2 P. M. in the
auditorium of the new Selinsgrove
high school on Armistice Day. Novem-
ber 11. The local post of the American
Legion will also participate in the un-
veiling exercises.
The Albany Treaty was made by the
Penns with the Indians in 1754. The
Treaty established an imaginary line
across the state as far north as Al-
bany, N. Y. The Treaty line started at
Carlisle and followed the west side of
the Susquehanna River as for north
as Selinsgrove where it followed Perm's
Creek one mile after its entrance into
the Susquehanna River. After leaving
Penns Creek the Treaty line took a
northwestern direction as far north
as Albany, N. Y.
Dr. Fleck, president of the New York
State Historical Society and various
members of the Pennsylvania Histori-
cal Commission, will participate in the
exercises.

SORORITIES HAVE IVAN FAUX
FOR FIRST DANCE
Saturday. November 5, is the date of
the annual, fall, inter-sorority dance.
It will be held in the gym from eight j
o'clock until twelve under the direction !
ot the Inter-Sorority Council. Ivan
Faux, with whose orchestra most of
those on the campus are familiar, is
furnishing the music. Each sorority
will as usual invite some of its honor- j
aries as chaperons. This is the first !
sorority dance of the year.
Reporter Notes
Returning Alumni
Among the earliest arrivals for Sus-
quehanna's annual Homecoming Day,
October 29, were the girls to play on
the alumnae hockey team. The team
was captained by Peg Corson, and her
team mates were: Mary Laudenslayer,
Thelma Crebs, Mary Ann Fox, Anna
Mease. Elizabeth Fry, Bernice Hard-
ing, Kitty Weber, and Ludlow Nichols.
Later Martha Bolig. Eleanor Jones,
and Arline Marshal) were seen on the
hockey field cheering on their old
teammates.
Returning ministers and seminar
students were many. Ray Shaheen
was back with his Winifred. Other ex-
pre-theologs were Karl Kniseley. Mor-
gan Edwards, and Edwin Clapper.
Noticeable at the game were many
of the class of 1938: Caroline Grubb
Reisinger. Esther Yingling. Esther
Kaufman, Eleanor Brown, Helen His-
dorf, and Ruth Jones. Yes. Kent
Worthington was there, too.
Other former students of Susque-
hanna were Patricia Snead, Billie
Dunkle. Helen Kerr. Edwin Greninger.
David Keim. and Eugene Smith.
The swing team. Jimmy Higgins and
Paul Lucas, was back for the day.
Mary Scott, Eleanor Brown <not the
Bunny of the class of '38). and Lois
Long had several discussions over "old
times."
Beginning on Friday night there was
an influx of Susquehanna alumni,
which continued all day Saturday, the
annual Homecoming Day. Everywhere
on the campus there were signs of
welcome for the "Grads." and a spirit
of hilarity pervaded all the functions.
Horton dining hall was decked out for
a merry Hallowe'en dinner after which
a pep meeting was held in the chapel,
where several rousing talks were given,
urging the team to fight for Susque-
hanna. Immediately following this, the
group met at the bon-fire prepared
by the freshmen. The second part of
the evening's entertainment was in the
hands of the Student Christian Asso-
ciation; a masquerade party was held
in the gym. There were dancing,
games, bobbing for apples, and refresh-
ments.
Saturday morning bright and early
the sophomore football team beat the
freshmen, 13 to 0, in a very traditional
manner. The girls' varsity hockey
team beat the alumnae. 6-0. Dinner
was held in the dining room after
which came the football game with
Moravian. Our boys fought hard, but
weren't equal to the task and lost the
game by the score of 13-7.
One outstanding thing at the game
was the first appearance of our band
in the new maroon and orange uni-
forms. The combination of the uni-
forms and the drilling added zest to
the afternoon.
Saturday evening the fraternity
houses conducted dances, at which a
good time was had by all.

Noted Economist and Author of Books to Appear
On Second Star Course Number in Seibert Chapel
Tonight
*
Npw KS)tlH f^nifnrtTIC Stuart Chase, noted author and
ilCW UdllU UllllUUIIh commentatol . on economic and social
it l 4 | problems, will be the second feature
Make AppearanCe at of the Star Course In Seibert Hall
Chapel on Wednesday, November 2. at
nOmeCOlTling Ijame stuart Chase is di fr er ent from many
speakers and writers on economics in
that his books are of interest to lay-
men, and different from so many so-
called popularizers in that he refuses
to "talk down" to the laymen. He
analyzes economic trends with informal
humor and insight. As a professional
accountant he understands the value
j of statistics and also its limitations.
He once declined to write up for a
learned international magazine cer-
tain mathematical studies he had
made, because after months of work
| he concluded that the widely accepted
data were not exact enough to deduce
a formula. To him economics is not
so much a science of figures and trend
curves as a human process by which
people obtain a living — luxurious or
frugal as the case may be— from the
earth.
This perspective has led him to dis-
cuss a wide variety of subjects in his
lectures, books and articles, but always
with one central theme — the effects of
technology on nature and human live-
lihood. His first book. "The Tragedy
of Waste." was the protest of a thrifty
New Englander, backed by masses of
facts and figures, against the vast out-
lays of material and labor spent for a
disproportionately small return to the
ultimate consumer. The consumer is
the central figure in his picture of the
economic world. He collaborated with
F J. Schlink to write the first con-
sumer book, "Your Money's Worth,"
which started a long series of similar
books and several new organizations,
beginning with the Consumer's Re-
search, Inc.. of which Mr. Chase was
ih.' first president. It also started a
bitter controversy with adversaries
which continues unabated. Mr. Chase's
other books include: "Men and Ma-
chines," "The Nemesis of American
Business." "Mexico: A Study of Two
Americas." "A New Deal." "The Econo-
my of Abundance." "Government In
Business." "Rich Land. Poor Lands."
"The Tyranny of Words" 1938> and
many others.
According to a report, a large num-
ber of students have not as yet obtain-
ed their Star Course tickets. Get them

nesday, November 2.
Fraternity Houses Scene of Homecoming
Dances As Many Alumni Return
Bond and Key Dance
Hallowe'en provided the setting for
the Homecoming Dance at the Bond
and Key fraternity house. The inter-
ior of the house was decorated in the
customary black and orange of the
holiday. Corn shocks, jack-o'lanterns,
and various other seasonal masques
completed the theme.
The dance was given a four bell rat-
ing by all of those who attended. Of
course, the whole is no better than
Parts which make it up. The parts
in this case:
The band — Howard Gale: versatile,
rhythmic, and smooth.
The quartet— Sechler, Brosius, Bill-
man, and Jones: harmonious, original,
and balanced.
The punch: delicious, refreshing, and
cooling.
The dancers: gay, courteous, and
carefree.
The alumni: glad to be back.
The members are justly proud of
their achievements in putting on one
°f the most successful Homecoming
dances of recent years. President Hauff
and Social Committee Chairman Sam
Rogers are to be commended for their
fine work In planning and preparing
for the dance. May the cry for "more"
°e heeded, and the tradition of fine
dances be carried on. '
B«ta Kappa Holds Initial Dance
The first dance in the newly formed
I Alpha Psi chapter of Beta Kappa was
held at the chapter house last Satur-
day evening for the alumni with Ralph
Wright and his orchestra furnishing
! the music. Throughout the entire
evening the Juniatians and their vocal
soloist filled the house with the best
and most popular numbers "swing"
has to offer. The house was attrac-
tively decorated in the fraternity col-
ors: purple and gold. A novelty chap-
ter banner and a Beta Kappa diamond
created particular interest.
Shortly after eight sounds of the
gong the couples began to arrive ; more
arrived, and still more, until finally the
floor was filled to capacity. Among
the newly discovered two's there were
to be seen: J. Edgar Meek and Smootie,
Shipe and Miller, Smaltz and Ben-
nage, Wolfie and Krumbholtz. Klinger.
Bonsall. and Akron Ochenrider still
puzzle this uninformed scribe. Among
the many alumni who returned, a few
, of the dancers were: Shockey. Kimmel,
Mitchell, Blyler, Wentsel, and Guss.
Outstanding highlights in the even-
ing were: Paul Ochenrider's vocal ren-
dition of the Alpha Psi chapter song.
Ken Bonsall's baritone presentation
of the national Beta Kappa greeting
song, and the intermission get -togeth-
er at Rea and Dericks. Sunbury.
The official chaperones were: Dr.
George F. Dunkelberger. Professor D.
I. Reitz and Professor Russell W. Gil-
bert. The Beta Kappa boys were also
very happy to welcome the following
quests: President G. Morris Smith,
Dean and Mrs. Russell Gait, Dean Bar-
bara Kruger, and several visitors from
the Bond and Key house.
At the twelfth hour the group began
to leave — reluctantly ending an even-
ing enjoyed by everyone.
Phi Mu Delta Dance
Amid an eerie atmosphere of
• witches, pumpkins, and corn shocks,
] the members, alumni, and friends of
Phi Mu Delta enjoyed the annual
I Homecoming dance at the chapter
house on Saturday evening.
This dance marked the first appear-
! ance of Eddie Gordon and his band
on our campus, and his music was very
inviting. Especially pleasing was a trio
of girls who were applauded time and
time again by the dancers.
Many alumni of Phi Mu Delta were
present, including Ken Alexander, foot-
ball captain for 1936-1937, and Karl
Knisely. former president of the house.
Included also in the dancers was Si-
vick and Fenner. McBride and Nicely,
and Wirt and Reese. Among the "old
faithfuls" Were Hayes and Miller,
| Matty and Jack, and Brosius and
jwesty. Shaffer and Baish were doing
! some fast swinging as well as Konkle
j and Mendy, Shrawder and Hutch, and
l Mr. and Mrs. Allison. Imports seemed
j to be the order of the day for Bob
i Herr, Schweitzer. Davis, and Matthews.
To the beat of the drums and the
j crash of the cymbals, Susquehanna's
'■ band appeared on Saturday in their
i new uniforms for the first time.
The band assembled at Seibert Hall
j and had its picture taken, after which
; it marched down to the field and took
I its place in the stand. A new proced-
ure was used in that the band was
seated in the form of the letter S.
Playing thruout the game lively and
peppy marches, the band did much to
keep up the spirit of the team. At the
half, the band formed around three
sides of the field and made an en-
trance to the fanfare of trumpets.
Going into a diamond formation and
from that into full four column ranks,
'•he band proceeded up the field where
an M was evolved in front of the Mo-
•avian stands. This dissolved into a
square from which the band went into
a circle. The S was then formed in
front of the Susquehanna stand. While
in this formation, the Alma Mater was
played; to which the students and
alumni joined in singing. The band
next formed a lyre in front of S. U.'s
stand after which came an about face
and the band went across the field in
a single column.
At the whistle, an about face was
taken by each man consecutively, un-
til it had each man facing the Sus-
quehanna side of the field. While this
was going on, the rear four men pro-
ceeded across the field by flexing into
a four column rank. After maneuver-
ing to the center of the field, a series
of figures were made by having the
two inside ranks circle around the
outside man of the file. From this the
band made their exit from the field
f n a double column and resumed their
S position in the stands.
S. C. A. Scores With
Masquerade Party
A gala event was the S. C. A. party
last Friday night. The gym looked un-
familiar and delightful in its Hal-
lowe'en outfit. The fine decorations
added much to the gay spirit.
The party was supposed to be a
masquerade but there was a rather
marked absence of costumes. However,
the small number who did wear un-
usual outfits did not dim the perfec-
tion of the masqueraders. Bob Sanders
was the most stunningly dressed. He
was. without doubt, the most attrac-
tive lady. Pasterchik was the bold,
had outlaw who got his head all wet
in an attempt to capture an apple.
Ginny Mann arrived in that delightful
costume of Little Bo-Peep and Flor-
ence Rothermel was the Gypsy for a
night. Everyone was much interested
in the masked Spaniard. He looked
romantic. Maybe some of his dancing
partners would let us in on the secret.
Or would they? Miss Kruger and Miss
DuFrain helped to enliven the scene
with their gay costumes.
W*> wish to commend the three — El-
«'* Hochella, Melissa Smoot. and Lois
Yost — for the cleverness of their cos-
tumes. Quite an idea.
Dancing was the chief interest of
the evening and a couple of Paul
Joneses added to the fun. Speaking of
dancing, did you notice that the Mo-
ravian fellows were enjoying them-
selves mightilv until the roach walked
in. Touch luck for S. U. co-eds.
But everyone. Including Moravian,
ducked for apples.
Ftankie Wolf plaved a couple of
pieces on his snw. He's certninlv good

Doughnuts, cider, and candy were on
the menu.

for the excellency of the narty. We all

Sophs Defeat Frosh
13-0 In Annual Tilt
In the annual freshman-sophomore
football game, played on University
Field last Saturday morning, the
sophs defeated the frosh 13-0. A small
crowd was in attendance, mostly com-
posed of soph girls, who were thrilled
at the way the sophs romped over the
freshmen.
Yes, folks, there comes a time in
every man's life when he must do
something against his own will. It
saddens me when I say that I owe our
sophomores a deep apology for the last
article published in the Susquehanna.
Deep in the hearts of every soph some-
thing stirred after reading that article,
and they gained enough courage to
not only give the frosh a good battle,
'•>ut came out of the game with a vic-
tory. Their attack was something to
behold. Eleven men moved with con-
centrated power, eleven men marched
with deliberation toward the frosh goal
j line, and eleven men— pardon me— one
I man crossed the goal line twice to
!:illy 18 point! against the bewildered
frosh. Yes. sophs, we owe you an apol-

One of the prime requisites of study and concentration is

are, of course, other factors which are conducive to a proper
atmosphere for study. Among these are: proper ventilation and
quiet. In our library, the librarian and her assistants make

It Isn't Cricket!
Susquehanna University's fool ball learn played a hard
game with Moravian last Saturday. In a game such as that, it
is only natural that feedings run high and that all Susquehanna
rooters want the team to win. Both teams played cleanly and
well. It should have been merely a matter of courtesy that the
visiting team and its players be treated as guests. A sad reflec-
tion on the hospitality of home rooters, is the fact that some
persons in our stands booed and hooted the entry into the game
of one of the visiting leanfs players. True, the activities of this
player may have given loyal Susquehanna partisans cause tor
displeasure. Nevertheless, such an outburst was discourteous
both to our visitors and to other Suquehanna fans. Other teams
have come to the campus and have been well received. Where
Susquehanna teams 1 ravel, they are courteously treated. In
fairness and reciprocity Susquehanna students should be cour-
teous and hospitable in their reception of our visitors.
This coming Saturday, another group of players will come
to play our team on University Field We, of The Susque-
hanna, ask that they be accorded the treatment worthy of
guests.

PREVIEWS ....
Revere the "Alma Mater"
The -Alma Mater" of all colleges is sacretl. To the college
student, it is almost on a par with the national anthem of the
United States. It is customary that persons stand during the
singing of the "Alma Mater" or while it is being played by the
band. Also, it is accepted practice that men who are present
and are wearing hats, remove their hats while the college hymn
is being played. It has been brought to our attention that the
last mentioned custom has not been observed in the approved
manner by some persons affiliated with Susquehanna Univer-
sity. Proper reverence of sacred things is the mark of a gentle-
man. We all desire to be acknowledged as gentlemen and as
such we should give the "Alma Mater" its due reverence.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE ,a Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer production, stars Clark
Gable, Myrna Loy, Leo Carrillo, and
Walter Pidgeon. This film features the
• he-man activities of Gable, the humor-
ous Miss Loy, and the dialect and
1 laughs by Carrillo. TOO HOT TO
HANDLE has a wealth of comedy and
engrossing action. We have Gable try-
ing to keep pace with Myrna Loy and
the resulting action is much to the de-
light of the audience. In addition to a
star-studded cast, TOO HOT TO
HANDLE embodies a story which
keeps us guessing to the very end. As
is customary in all of their pictures,
Clark Gable and Myrna Loy are the
dominating figures. However, Leo Ca-
rillo's murdering of the King's English
bids fair to steal the show. Walter
Pidgeon also turns in a commendable
performance. TOO HOT TO HANDLE
is a Movie Quiz picture.

in PRISON BREAK with her peren-

wise known as Barton MacLane. As In
former pictures, Glenda Parrell cap- 1
tivates audiences with her portrayal of l
the ace girl reporter. This current Uni- j
versal production is no exception. In
a setting centered about a prison break
and "Torchy's" desire to get a story
we have the evolution of the plot. Our
heroine manages to get completely in-
to the hair of the pride of the detec-
tive squad. However, McBride man-
ages to solve the case with the assis-
tance of Glenda Parrell and peace
reigns supreme. The action is unfold-
ed swiftly with a mixture of comedy
and tense moments. PRISON BREAK

Columbia presents WEST OF CHEY-
ENNE, a story of that part of the Unit-
ed States which is still somewhat of a
mystery. We have Charles Starret,
Iris Meredith, and Dick Curtis in stel-
lar roles of a fost moving picture. The
story concerns the lawlessness of the
Southwest and of the suppression of
crime by a small band of law-abiding
citizens. WEST OF CHEYENNE fea-
tures trigger-like action and fast gun-
play. Charles Starret gives a very com-
mendable portrayal of the dashing,
young western hero. The perform-
ances of Iris Meredith, Dick Curtis,
and Bob Nolan are of a high type. If
you like hair-raising westerns, don't

The long-awaited VALLEY OF THE
GIANTS comes to the local theatre
with a string of box office successes
wherever it has shown. The story of
the film takes place in the redwood
country. A land-grabbing timber bar-
on, Charles Bickford, moves into the
Northwest town in which Wayne Mor-
ris owns a mill. By crooked work,
Bickford acquires a note which Morris
owes to the local bank. However, the
friends of Morris rally to his support
and aid him in paying off the note. We
see how Bickford 's men try to wreck
Morris' railroad trestles and dam a
waterway. Morris' men shoot it out
with the villians. There is much of
comedy in VALLEY OF THE GIANTS
At a recent meeting of the facult;
committee on attendance regulations,
the matter of absences and cuts irons
classes and chapel was reviewed and
the following recommendations made
to clarify the situation:
1. The regulations start with a fun.
damental premise that "students arc
expected to attend all classes for which
they have registered and all chapel
services." Students are advised to read
the section "Regarding Absences" on
pages thirty-eight and thirty-nine ot
the handbook since the regulations are
given in detail in this publication.
2. A misunderstanding seems tu
have arisen in the minds of many stu-
dents concerning the ten absences
from classes which are allowed and to:
which no excuses need be presented,
In order to clear this matter, the com-
mittee would call to the attention oi
students the statement in the students
handbook, (page thirty-eight) which
reads "A student may be absent with-
out penalty ten times during a semes-
ter. Absences without penalty are de-
signed for needs of emergency. If the
student uses his absences for pleasure,
he must bear the consequences if lam
emergency arises." Therefore, the hrs;
ten absences in any semester (exceu:
for official trips of teams and organ
izations) are automatically charged to
the student's account and no excuses
should be submitted for the first ter
absences.
3. Chapel absences are handled un-
der a different system. The committee
would remind the students that there
are no chapel cuts, therefore, an ex-
cuse should be submitted to the Regis-
trar's office for every chapel absence.
For three unexcused chapel absences,
one-fifth of a credit is automatical^
deducted from the student's scholastic
record.
4. When the first ten class absences
have been recorded, the Registrar will
notify the student of this fact. How-
ever, the Registrar's office will give out
no information concerning cuts except
in the form of official notifications.
5. All excuses for chapel absences
and excuses for over-cuts will be re-
viewed by the committee on atten-
dance regulations and. if need be. thi
student may be summoned to appear
before this committee to explain his
case. If the committee refuses to ac-
cept an excuse, one-fifth of a semes
ter hour of credit shall be deducted to
each unexcused absence in excess o:
ten from the student's total number
of semester hours of credit for that
semester.
6. The committee would emphasize
that when students enter class late, at
ter the roll has been taken, they should
see the instructor personally after class
in order to see if a correction can be
made.
7. Absences immediately before
after a vacation or holiday shall count
double (see handbook, page 38 >. In
view of the recent lengthening of al
vacations in the college calendar ant
the shortening of the total school year
there is no justification for students
seeking to increase still further the va-
cations periods by early leaving and
late returning.

as they lost, 13-7, to a strong Moravian
eleven last Saturday afternoon. A
large group of graduates was present
for the Homecoming game and was
treated to plenty of football thrills
despite the fact that the locals lost.
The game opened as Jones, Morav-
ian captain, kicked off to Greco, who
returned the ball to the 32. When the
Crusaders' offense failed to click for
yardage, Bob Bastress kicked to the
visitors' 40 yard stripe. The Grey-
hounds tried several line bucks but I
failed to gain. Buzzard was back to |
punt for the visitors but the entire
Crusader line broke through and
blocked the kick. Sam Fletcher, local
tackle, picked the ball out of the air
and ran the remaining 32 yards for a
Susquehanna score. Tom Lewis place
kicked the extra point to put the locals
out in front, 7-0.
However, the visitors were not to be
stopped by local scoring. After Lewis
had kicked off to the Moravian twenty,
the Crusaders were set back fifteen
yards for roughness. On an off-tackle
play, Buzzard raced 15 yards to the
locals' 35 and from that point Fritch-
man raced 35 yards through the entire
Stagg machine for a score. The try for
extra point was blocked by Dick Mat-
thews and the Crusaders still led. 7-6.
The Susquehanna offense came to
life after the third kick off as Bastress
passed to Jack Detrick, who raced
thirty yards to put the pigskin on the
Moravian 40. After several running
plays, Bastress again passed to Det- I
rick, who raced to the Moravian 15 I
before being forced out of bounds. On
the first down a Bastress pass was ;
grounded and then Tom Lewis was
brought into the backfield and the 250
pound lad picked up seven yards
through the Moravian line. With three
yards to go for a first down. Lewis
dropped back to the 20 and his at-
tempted place kick was blocked and
Moravian put the ball in play on the
32. Fritchman put the ball on the mid-
field stripe. Rosetti then passed to
Fritchman, who raced forty yards for
Moravian's second score. Jones' place
kick for the extra point was good and
the visitors led, 13-7.
Soon after the second period opened
a real break came to the Crusaders as
Rosetti fumbled on the Moravian 33
and Jack Detrick recovered. The
fumble failed to materialize into a
score for the locals as a short pass
was intercepted by Fritchman. The
remainder of the first half was played
in the mid-field territory with neither
team threatening to score.
The third quarter marked the locals'
two best chances to score. Detrick
kicked to the Moravian 15 yard mark- I
er and on an attempted lateral the
visitors fumbled with Joe Greco re-
covering on the Moravian 15. Detrick
then got two yards on an end-around
play. Davis got five yards through
guard, but the locals were inches short
of a first down. Buzzard then kicked
out of the end zone for the Grey-
hounds to the 48 yard stripe. The
Staggmen then benefited from a fif-
teen yard penalty but again failed to
make a first down by inches. Bastress
then kicked into the end zone. After
the ball was brought out to the 20.
Buzzard attempted to kick on the
fourth down, but a bad pass from cen-
ter prevented him from doing so and
the Crusaders took possession of the
ball on the Moravian 10 yard line.
Three plays netted the locals only four
yards and the ball was given to the
visitors on the 6 yard marker. The
third quarter ended at this point.
On the first play after the final per-
iod opened, Moravian kicked to their
own forty and from this point to the
end of the game the locals opened up
with a passing attack. Several were
intercepted and several were complet-
ed but most of the ground was gained
on end runs which saw Bob Bastress
in the clear several times but was al-
ways brought down from the rear. The
Same ended with the ball in Susque-
hanna's possession on the Moravian 17
yard line. Lineups:

Crusader Soccer Team
Splits Encounters
With Two Opponents
The Crusader soccer team split two
games this past week, winning from the
Juniata County All-Stars 3-1 and los-
ing to Bloomsburg State Teachers 2-1.
The first goal in the Juniata game
was made in the third quarter by
Harry Fuhrman on a penalty kick af-
ter the fullback of the All-Star team
touched the ball with his hand. The
second goal was made by Bob Upde-
grove when he kicked the ball from
the center of the field, the ball getting
away from the visitors' goalie. The
final Crusader goal was made by Har-
old Mitman after Gensel placed the
ball in front of the uprights. The visi-
tors tallied their only score in the final
minute on a penalty kick.
Last Thursday the Bloomsburg State
Teachers booters defeated the locals
2-1 on University Field. Not one of the
three goals made by the two teams was
of the orthodox variety. Both teams
made penalty goals and the winning
tally came to the Huskies when the
wet ball spun between Herbie Klinger's
legs. The game was of the hard fought
type but both teams were handicapped
because of the wet field. Bill Trout-
man. Jim McCord. Jack Shipe, Spar
Wert, and John Gensel played excel-
lent soccer for the locals. Gensel tal-
lied the Crusader goal. The lineup
for the local booters for the two games
is as follows:
RW, Gensel; RI. Mitman; C, Fuhr-
man; LI. McCord; LW, Shipe; RHB.
Updegrove; CHB, Beachel; LHB,
Laudenslayer; RFB, Wert; LFB,
Wightman; G, Herman. Others used
were Troutman and Herman.
S
HOW CRUSADER
OPPONENTS FARED
The annual Homecoming Day was
celebrated last Saturday and the Mo-
ravian Greyhounds also celebrated by
winning their fourth game of the cur-
rent season by defeating the Crusaders
13-7. Both teams were very evenly
matched and although both teams
were penalized over seventy yards, the
locals received almost every break
throughout the day. Four times the
locals had the ball inside the visitors'
territory but were never successful in
pushing the ball over the pay-off line.
Two of the Staggmen's chief weak-
nesses this season cropped up again
Saturday, poor blocking and lack of
scoring punch.
The Frosh-Soph battle Saturday
morning was a real scrap. Dave Car-
ter, a transfer from West Virginia,
proved to be the difference between
victory and defeat for the sophs. Last
year, if you remember, the class of
'41 really took a defeat by the tune of
22-7. "Grudge" was the word which
may best describe the spirit of the
boys on the two teams and several
times the officials were forced to stop
the fracas to remind the frosh that
fisticuffs were not in order.
EAVESDROPPING ON THE FROSH-
SOPH GAME:
Bill Shusta— "Does that guy Carter
Block!!"
Frank Sidler — "I'cr sooner wear a
straw hat than this leather thing.
Which is the front anyway?"
Dave Carter, with his usual South-
ern accent — "Give me that ball. Ford.
I feel in the groove." And incidentally,
Dave ran the ball from the Frosh 35
yard stripe to the 5 yard line in seven
straight plays.
John Lawrence — "What am I sup-
posed to do when three of those bruis-
ers come at me?"
Mel Jones enters the game for the
sophs and reports to Glenn Hauff. the
umpire. "Jones in for exercise."
i There wasn't enough time left for
him to get into action.)
Art Wilson— "Who is calling the sig-
nals for the sophs? Is it Coach Schuck
or Ford? Look at, him waving his
hands from the bench and look at
Ford trying to decipher the hand lan-
guage."
Joe Zavarich — "My feet are numb as
a piece of cork. I hope they don't come
around this way again."
Glenn Musser — "How am I going to
toot my clarinet for Mr. Allison's band
this afternoon? My lip is swollen like
a balloon!"
Bob Cornelius — "What would the
score have been if we had practiced
for two weeks?"
Let's get back to the Crusader var-
sity again. Next Saturday the Lebanon
Valley Mules will come to our campus
to meet the Staggmen for the last
home game on University Field this
season. The lads from Annville have
quite a record this season but the Cru-
saders will be all primed for the battle.
The Mules' chief weapon of offense
is the forward pass and this week
Coach Stagg and his assistants will
drill a defense for that weapon. Let's
stick by the Crusaders, and make "Win
This Saturday" our slogan.

Around and 'round they go and who
will win nobody knows and very few
can guess with any degree of accuracy.
Last week the very unvenerable
"Moose" was less successful than any
other week to date, so terribly low was
the average that we would rather not
have it written in this week's issue.
However, we will never give up, and
we will never pick any easy ones. Take
a look!!
Susquehanna over Lebanon Valley —
believe it or not we can and we will
win this game.
Ohio State over Purdue— the Boiler-
makers won't be able to get up
enough steam for the Buckeye
dazzlement.
Auburn over Villanova — for no rhyme
or reason.
Rice over Arkansas-Lain is still able
Jo pass the boys of the institute to
an easy win.
Duquesne over South Carolina — it
looks plenty easy for the Dukes.
Alabama over Tulane — the Crimson
Tide hasn't died yet. I hope.
Indiana over Boston College— this
fracas shouldn't even be close,
California over Southern California —
Let's pray for a Kansas-Notre Dame
type of upset.
Nebraska over Kansas — On last year's
and this year's record, I take the
Cornhuskers.
Manhattan over No. Carolina State —
on advice from the "Head." I take
the Bronx lads.

Undergrads Defeat
Alumni Hockey Team
Youth's vivacity, vim, and vigor com-
bined to spell victory for our co-ed
hockey representatives when they
clashed with their former classmates
in the annual Homecoming Day Alum-
nae-Varsity skirmish. In spite of the
fact that its lineup included some who
had been luminaries in "their day," the
graduates were unable to offer any
serious opposition, and were forced to
reconcile themselves to a smashing 6-0
defeat by their younger foes.
Early in the game the varsity com-
bination, having learned in its earlier
contests that a good offense is the
best defense, advanced the ball to the
alumnae territory, where most of the
action of the game ensued. Both teams
exhibited a good brand of hockey, but
the terrific drives of the undergradu-
ates were more than the sophisticated
stick wielders of the past had bargain-
ed for. The varsity machine's forward
line of Hayes, Milligan. Bingaman,
Miller, and West consistently made
smashing drives at their opponent's
goal. When the atmosphere had clear-
ed sufficiently to record the result it
was discovered that the freshman ace,
Jean Milligan, had experienced a field
day of her own. having contributed
three goals to the varsity score. Sup-
porting her performance were goals by
Bingaman and Miller.
In spite of the outcome of the
match, the graduates turned in a
creditable performance. Peg Corson
proved that her ability has not been
affected by two years in the cruel
world by the manner in which she car-
ried the brunt of the defensive work.
When the alumnae were able to se-
cure the ball for themselves it was
Mollie Fox who was the spearhead of
the offensive, but the varsity's defense
was just too impregnable for them to
advance the ball to within a scoring
position.
Even though the score was one-sid-
ed, the game itself was exciting
throughout, and both teams left the
field with arms linked, each deter-
mined that next year would see her
team the victor in the annual contest.
discussion ten points on which young
men judge young women: sociability,
kind of friends she has. preferences,
looks, intellect, physical, home-loving,
sense of beauty, moral courage, and
reaction on myself.
The boys' meeting was in charge of
George Bantley; Reginald Schofield
presided at the organ. Miss Barbara
Kruger led the boys in a discussion of
positive and negative qualities in young
men's social life. She pointed out four
qualities which all well bred men will
possess: honesty, trustworthiness, self-
respect, and loyalty and faithfulness
to principles.

time to stop this attack in the shadow

happen again. Twice they were unable
to stop the soph attack and twelve
points were scored against them.

duction of "Stage Door," Philip Berg-
stresser, newly appointed stage man-
ager, announced today. Bergstresser's

ager, and Louise West will be an as-
sistant to the stage manager in charge

ment, Mr. Freeman stated that a dif-
ferent stage manager will be appoint-
ed for each production this year. "The

member of a theatrical company with
the exception of. the director and the
principal actors," Mr. Freeman said.
"During the night of the performance
the stage manager is in complete
charge. When the curtain goes up on
the opening lines of "Stage Door." my
work as director is finished. I become
a prejudiced member of the audience
and nothing more."

Events At Sorority Dance
Dearest Olga:
What in the world happened to you,
anyway? I distintcly remember you
said you'd be here for the dance Sat-
urday night and I waited and waited.
I even saw to it that we had your
favorite orchestra — Ivan Faux was at
his very best Saturday night— oh, and
the punch was elegant. Needless to
say. I was frightfully disappointed and
you surely missed a wonderful dance.
When I saw Esther and Tubby, I im-
mediately brightened in hopes of your
coming. No go! Too bad! Remem-
ber you said you wanted to meet these
new boys I'd been raving about? Well,
Saturday night would have been your
chance — there were more freshman
boys there than you'd find in a first-
year German class, and all doing all
right, too. Marion Crompton looked
simply marvelous (she took that hand-
some Bill Gehron) in black and an "up"
hair style. Among other "hair-ups"
were Edlund and Engle escorted re-
spectively by Korper and Mastovitch.
All I could see- for the longest while
was Peg Sheesley's orchid. Oee, Olga,
wouldn't it be fun to get one of those
sometime? Uphouse looked cute in
white, and you should have seen
Perky 's lovely dress. You would have
"ked it immensely, and didn't we al-
ways agree on tones of blue for Shir-
ley? A new departure this year at
dances— Lallch! I 'know you'll never
believe it, but it's true. It seems a
shame that he wasted practically two
years sitting in on dance nights! More
power to Lois on that score.
The floor was terribly slippery— be-
lieve me, you can always trust Bill
Troutman to do his job well. Never-
theless, a small matter like that

This coming Saturday. November 12.
Coach Stagg and his assistants will
take the Crusaders to Carlisle to play
Dickinson College as the feature sports
attraction of Homecoming Day at the
down-state school.
The opening whistle will be sounded
at 2:00 P. M. and to those who have
seen both elevens play, there seems
to be no doubt but that the battle will
be of the wide open type. Dickinson
employs very much the same sort of
razzle-dazzle formations as the Stagg-
men and without a doubt they will be
forced to use it to its fullest extent
this week, on Biddle Field.
The Red Devils, coached by Arthur
Kahler, do not boast of a winning rec-
ord this year. They have won only
two games, those being from the per-
ennial weak Delaware University team
and from Washington College, a team
which suffered greatly from the gradu-
ation of experienced members.
Kahler, Dickinson mentor, is a dis-
ciple of the double wing back school.
Very few colleges have found this
:ystem to be effective, but it appears
hat the Red Devil line is heavy
mough and the backfield speedy
enough to make this type of play suc-
;essful during the past four years at
he Carlisle institution.
The outstanding player on the Dick-
nson team is Samuel Padjen. 160-
xmnd fullback from Steelton, who last
/ear was given honorable mention on
:he small college All-American team,
rhis season, because of injuries, Pad-
ien has not been so sensational, but
ie will warrant plenty of attention
rom the Crusaders.
This week Coach Stags and his as-
sistants, Bob Pritchard and Dr. Law-
son, will put the locals through the
nost complete and comprehensive
practice sessions of the present season.
Susquehanna scouts have seen the
Carlisle lads in action several times
his season, and it has been found
hat the locals will need to set up a
strong defensive to stop the laterals
ind reverses which prevail under the
iouble wing back formation. The Cru-
aders will also have to drill exten-
,ively on blocking in order to give Bob
3astress, Bill Davis, and "Monk" Mey-
BT the necessary protection needed to
rain ground through a powerful Red
Devil forward wall.
This Saturday should witness the
eturn of Joe Greco and Tom Lewis in-
o the lineup and barring injuries this
veek. the Crusaders should be in the
>est physical condition to date. Jack
"»etrick and Bill Pritchard will start
t the terminal posts with Joe Greco,
31air Heaton. and Dave Murray in
eserve. Lewis and Fletcher, the
Northumberland lads, will be at the
ackles with scrappy Ed Eisenhart in
eserve. John and Dick Matthews will
ie at the guard posts with Harry Mer-
I 'ine ready to aid them and Phil Temp-
I in will start at the pivot position with
lenry Keil in reserve. In the back-
ield we will probably see Bob Herr at
I me halfback position, and Bob Bas-
I ress at the other with Louie Baylor
i it quarterback and Bill Davte at the
ullback berth.

In order for a fraternity to have the

semesters, or three years. The cup is
awarded at the end of the first sem-

last semester of the previous year and
the grades of the first semester of this

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1938
Bravo
The Susquehanna wishes to pomment upon the interest
shown in the recent Star Course presentation. The pretence of
an audience as large as the one in attendance last Wednesday
evening does niueli to gladden those avIio are instrumental in the
bringing of noted speakers to our campus. It often happens
that a speaker is secured to speak before the student body but
that in the end he speaks to only a very small part of the stu-
dent body. This was not the case at the Stuart Chase lecture.
Besides a large percentage of the student body, there were many
townspeople and friends of the college present. A turn-out such
as we saw in Beibert Chapel goes far toward making- the speaker
feel that people really want to hear what he has to say and he,
consequently, will meet the situation with a better talk than
he probably would have made had there been only a handful
in the audience.
A departure which Ave were pleased to see was the intro-
duction of an open forum and discussion period after the speak-
er had concluded his formal lecture. In the past, many persons
have left lectures wondering what was the speaker's attitude
upon certain current questions or upon some statements which
had been made. Members of the audience had ample opportunity
to question Mr. Chase at the conclusion of his talk. As a result,
ideas were brought out which could not have been included in
the lecture. The questioner* had statements claritied for them.
We might say that by means of the discussion, much was added
to an already rich lecture. Those of the audience who queried
the speaker should also be commended in making the forum a
success. Frequently, no one has anything to say when a dis-
cussion is called for. However, the discussion at the recent lec-
ture did not lack interrogators of the speaker. In fact, time did
not permit all those who had questions to ask them. Much of
the credit for this fact is due Mr. Chase, whose statements pro-
voked much thought.
We congratulate speaker, audience, and administration for
the success of the affair and trust that all future Star Course
numbers will be as well received.

Much as I would like to turn Peg

lovely some of our coeds looked at the

Punsters just can't be kept down, it i

Pleasures, returns, and inducements
of being a column writer are remarks
like the following made to Peg's very-

In the dark of the night— it's really

Let's All Sing
An Integral part of the daily chapel service is hymn sing-
ing. The singing of hymns is an important part in any religious
program. Jt has been observed that many persons refrain from
singing during the daily devotional periods, Recently, it was
brought to our attention that a reason why many students do
not sing is the fact that they could not get hymnals. We have
also been told that there is tin over-distribution of song hooks
in some sections of the chapel Consequently those who are not
among the first arrivals at chapel nmsl forego having a hymnal.
Another cause for the lack of hymnals is that with the increase
in the size ol' the student body, the number of service books has
not been increased. Also, it is entirely possible that some of us
inadvertently carry a hymnal along with us when we leave
chapel and then forget to return the hook. This has happened
many times and is altogether innocent. However, those of us
who wish to participate in the singing should not be penalised
by not being able to secure a hymnal. Since The Susquehanna
is the mirror of student opinion and since this matter has been
called to our attention by several students, we urge that steps
be taken to rectify the situation. Instead of some students hav-
ing a monopoly upon the song tM>oks, they should be evenly dis-
tributed. Those of us who have taken l>ooks from the chapel
should make every effort to return them. And, if there is a num-
erical deficiency of hymnals, enough should be obtained to meet
th needs of our growing student body.

Will someone tell me why Young
didn't go to the dance?
McBride wants to know why he can't
do a little bit of Heckling without get-
ting into complications.
Johnnie Miller came walking out of
Steele Science and remarked "I just
got into the wrong buildings." Did
somebody say that she was a Junior?
But I guess when you consider the
class as a whole you can understand.
I just can't understand these fresh-
men. They just won't give the girls a
break. Really Leib I think that you
could be at least a little bit considerate
of them.
In a certain paper it was announced
that the girls of S. U. had decided to
refuse dates to football players until
they won a football game. If that
would just happen, and then, Oh, Boy.
Me and Hayes!
Did anybody notice Klinger's pic-
ture in the paper? Really I thought it
looked very nice, you know, big foot-
ball hero.
We hear that Murray and Blough

but it is very plain who's necklace she
wears. Come on fellows make up your
minds and come to some settlement.
Maybe Kauffman, some of the Egyp-
tians are better men than you are.
You never can tell until you know by
experience.
Just where was George Spiggle on
Saturday night? He was not at the
dance so where was he?
A question that any one can answer
without much trouble: Who is the Jun-
ior boy that left for Williamsport af-
ter the dance and why? Answer care
of Miss Fenner. Seibert Hall.
What violin is Heckler going to play
next? Tell me, Prof. Sheldon, is there
any such thing as a fourth violin?

Forey Adams don't quit visiting and

really goes to school here. By the way
does he?
Every body knows that we pay a
damage fee. Well, what I'm wondering
is if they are going to charge the post-
age for sending the marks home to the
damage fee. After all it is very dam-
aging. No wonder I only got $.25 back
last year.
Barry, the next time you take a girl
down to Fred's I think that you would
have more privacy if you would get a
radio car to advertise yourself. Don't
you think so too, McBride.
If Dick Matthews was married he
would probably be asked "What did
you do to make your wife so sore," but
since he is single all I can say is "Gee,
she must have a powerful right."

The darling of the silver skates re-
turns to the screen with another high-
grade vehicle. We mean Sonja Henie,
whose current film, MY LUCKY STAR,
is rated with the best ice extravagan-
zas produced in Hollywood. This
Twentieth - Century - Fox production
features the charming Sonja at her
best. She is surrounded with a galaxy
of well-known stars among whom are:
Richard Greene, Joan Davis. Cesar
Romero, and Buddy Ebsen. The pic-
ture deals with Miss Henie 's exploits
on the ice with six extravagant scenes
bringing the star to her best. Robert
Greene supplies the love interest while
the comedy is amply furnished by Joan
Davis, who is noted for eccentric
dancing and novelty song numbers.
Buddy Ebsen, one of the rising film-
dom stars, is also excellent in a very
good role. Cesar Romero turns in his
usual first-class performance. For

GANGS OF NEW YORK, a Republic
production, brings to the screen the
story of the typical bad man and gang
leader. Charles Bickford has the role
of the gangster who is sent to prison
and is regarded by every one as a pub-
lic enemy. He is wanted in several
states and upon his release from one
prison is ordered held by another state,
However, in not too typical gangland
fashion, he comes to the aid of the
police in their attempt to exterminate
gangs and is instrumental in the
rounding-up of several public rats.
Bickford portrays his role very well.
Supporting him are Ann Dvorak, who
makes a successful screen comeback
with this picture, and Wynne Gibson,

Richard Dix, Chester Morris, Harry
Carey, and Joan Fontaine are the stars
of R. K. O.'s SKY GIANT. In this
film, we have the story of two young
air corps officers who are stationed at
a flying school. The father of one of
the officers is the head of the air
school and lives up to his reputation of
being a hard taskmaster. Richard Dix
and Chester Morris are in love with
the same girl and because of this their
friendship is disrupted. Joan Fon-
taine is the cause of the difficulty be-
tween the two officers. However, both
men are chosen to fly a giant airship
over a proposed transport route in or-
der to make tests. During a heavy
storm the ship is wrecked and the fly-
ers marooned in the wilds of Alaska.
After many hardships, they manage
to return to clviliaztion and are roy-
ally received by the air base authori-
ties. They settle their troubles regard-
ing Joan Fontaine. Richard Dix and
Chester Morris turn in splendid per-
formances while Joan Fontaine is ex-
cellent. Harry Carey's performance as
the hard-boiled flying school head is
laudable.

Susquehanna's Orange and Maroon
gridders received their fifth straight
setback of the current football season
from Lebanon Valley's "Flying Dutch-
men" last Saturday, 20-7. After a lead
over the "Flying Dutchmen" of 7-6 in
the first half, the result of a sensa- '
tional 80-yard touchdown sprint by ,
Bob Bastress, the Crusaders were un- i
able to cope with the smooth aerial at- j
tack of the Valley eleven which net- ,
ted them 14 points in the third period.
Saturday's pigskin battle was the final
game of the Crusader eleven on Uni- j
versity Field for the present grid sea- i
son. In turning back the Crusaders, |
the Lebanon Valley eleven showed su-
periority in every department as they
clicked off 16 first downs to Susque-
hanna's 8.
At the start of the contest the Cru-
saders took the pigskin on their own
20 when the ball went over the goal
line. On the fourth down Bastress
punted to Lebanon Valley's 35-yard
line. On the first play the "Flying
Dutchmen'' completed a pass to the
Crusader's 32. The Crusaders held the
Valley eleven here for downs and re-
gained possession of the ball on their
own 25. The Orange and Maroon
gridders advanced the ball to Lebanon
Valley's 45 on a pass from Bastress
to Pritchard which was good for 16
yards and a completed 20 yard pass
to Detrick before Bastress was forced
to punt. Ed Kress, Valley gridder, took
Bastress' punt on his 10 yard line and
succeeded in getting up to midfield be-
fore he was brought down. On two
successive passes, Kress to Walk, Leb-
anon Valley put! the pgskin on the
Crusaders' 6-yard line. Lennon made
five yards off tackle and Kress plung-
ed through the Crusader forward wall
from the one-yard line for a touch-
down. Walk's placement kick for the
extra point was wide.
The Crusaders' offensive drive came
to life early in the second quarter
when they reeled off two successive
first downs with Detrick, Bastress, and
Davis alternating in toting the ball.
After an exchange of punts, the Cru-
saders took the ball on their 20, when
Kress kicked the ball into the end
zone. On the next play Bastress broke
through right tackle and raced 80 yards
downfield unaided for a touchdown.
Tom Lewis converted the extra point
from placement. Both teams fought
desperately to stage touchdown drives,
but they were forced to punt frequently
as the forward wall of both teams was
successful in thwarting the attempts.
Monk Meyer, freshman back, saw his
first action Saturday for the Crusad-
ers and turned in a surprising per-
formance in the backfield as he reeled
off extra yardage.
Lebanon Valley came back in the
second half to display a baffling aerial
attack and a smooth running attack
which produced two more touchdowns.
On the kick-off at the beginning of the
third period. Bob Herr ran the ball
back to his own 30. Bill Davis picked
up 9 yards on an off-tackle plunge;
Rishel was forced to punt when the
Crusaders received a 5-yard penalty.
Susquehanna regained possession of
the ball when Sam Fletcher recovered
a Lebanon Valley fumble. The "Flying
Dutchmen" intercepted Davis' pass on
the next play. Kress went off-tackle
from his own 48 and carried the pig-
skin to Susquehanna's 12 before he was
tackled. Several plays later Shilo went
over for the second Lebanon Valley
score. Lennon's kick from placement
was good. The Valley gridders set the
stage for their third score when they
took the ball on their own 25; on the
next play Kress ran to the center of
the line, then cut back and raced
around his lett end to the Crusaders'
25 before he was forced out of bounds.
A triple pass, Kress to Grabusky to
Belmer. advanced the ball to the Cru-
saders' 10. Kress swept wide around
his left end to provide the third score
'or Lebanon Valley. Lennon again
converted the extra point from place-
ment. The Crusaders received an op-
portunity to scoreMate in the last per-
iod when they had the ball on Lebanon
Valley's 9-yard line, but they lost the
ball when they received a penalty and
a fake field goal failed to gain a first

How should we open this column
this week? When the team loses every
Saturday it becomes very difficult to
write something new and different.
But suppose we overlook the fact that
the Crusaders lost and let's look into
the more delightful parts of the con-
test. Perhaps they would be more
readable if they were enumerated:
1. The great defensive stand which
the local line displayed in halting the
Lebanon Valley scoring threat early
in the first quarter.
2. The speed with which the Cru-
sader line rushed Kress, Valley passer.
3. The fact that the locals did not
give up but kept fighting after the
Dutchmen scored in the opening per-
iod.
4. The marvelous side-stepping of
Bob Bastress on his eighty yard dash
for our only score.
5. The drive with which Bill Davis
cracked into the line for the yards
needed to give the Staggmen first
downs. Have you noticed that Bill is
improving every week and is gradually
becoming the type of fullback which
the team needed last season as well
as this season?
"Moose" Predicts:
Phi Mu Trounces
Touchball Rivals
Two one-sided victories for Phi Mu
Delta's "touch-football heroes" during
the past week assures them of at least
a tie for the title in the Inter-Mural
league. They encountered little oppo-
sition in their first game on Monday
afternoon against Beta Kappa's rep-
resentatives. At no period in the game
ie winners meet any trouble, with
McBride. Wert, and Sivick conspicu-
ous in the 36-0 victory.
On Friday afternoon the rivals for
the loop lead met .with a smashing
36-12 triumph for Phi Mu Delta over
Bond and Key Club. The victor's
running offense trampled its oppon-
ents, and its deceptive passing attack
resulted in several touchdowns.
Schuck, Lalich. and Fisher were out-
standing for the winners, while Rich-
ard and Rogers played good ball for
the losers.
Phi Mu Delta and Bond and Key
will meet in the deciding tussle of the
league this week. They will be re-
peating the recent game that w.is halt-
ed by injuries when Bond and Key
was in the lead. A victory for Phi Mu
Delta will mean undisputed claim to
the championship, while a victory for
Bond and Key will necessitate another
playoff between the two to decide the
title.

"If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again." Well my friends the
"Moose" is not giving up because we
figure the law of averages must cer-
tainly be just around the corner. So
let's all support the law of averages
with a rousing cheer and perhaps he
will catch up with us. With the aid
of the "Chief" and "Cleede," the Dan-
ville bookie, we may fare better this
week. Here we go for some tough ones.
Rutgers over Lafayette— both teams
were hot last week but the boys of
dear old Rutgers will do or die.
Albright over Lebanon Valley — an age
old rivalry will go by two scores to
the Reading boys.
Carnegie Tech over Duquesne— if they
can beat the Yankees of football
they can beat their other rival of
the Smoky City.
Colgate over N. Y. U— the Red Raid-
ers of Chenango Valley will ride
again to what should be an easy vic-
tory.
Dartmouth over Cornell— this seems to
be the Green's big year, let's hope
they remain undefeated.
From the "Chief-
Brown over Holy Cross— "young Tuss"
will lead the bears in a rebound from
the Yale game.
Fordham over North Carolina— the
Rams have too much stuff for the
Tar Heels.
Alabama over George Tech— the Yel-
6. The hard tackling displayed by
Phil Templin and Sam Fletcher es-
pecially when the opponents were at-
tempting to return punts.
7. The perfect block which Clair
Kaltreider administered to Grabusky,
Lebanon Valley end, in the final period
of the battle.
8. The intestinal fortitude display-
ed by Tom Lewis by playing with his
left arm in a cast.
9. The fact that the student body-
stuck by the team by cheering until
the last whistle had sounded.
10. The fine display of drilling for-
mations given at half time by the Uni-
versity Band.
Enough said about the Crusaders.
What did some of the other teams do
last Saturday. Well, the Yankees of
football lost for the first time in nearly
an age. Carnegie Tech defeated Pitt
20-10. Rutgers defeated Princeton for
the first time in fifty-two years. Lafay-
ette for the first time in nearly a dec- ]
ade defeated Penn State, by the score
Of 7-0.

Seniors Win Third
Hockey Crown
Last Friday, the girls' inter-class
hockey games came to an end. Each
fall the girls play two "round robins"
of field hockey in order to determine
the champion class. That means that
each class team plays every other
class team twice. The referees, this
year, were the captains of the various
teams: Eleanor Saveri for the seniors.
Madalene Hayes for the juniors, Jane
Hutchison for the sophomores, and
Jean Milligan for the freshmen. The
results are as follows:
First: Seniors— Won 3, tied 2.
Second: Juniors — Won 2, tied 3.
Third: Freshmen— Won 2, tied 1.
Fourth: Sophomores — Won 1, tied 2.
The class who are now seniors were
also champions their freshman and
sophomore years, having been cham-
pions three years out of the four years
they have been in college.
Although class hockey is now at an
end. the varsity is still hard at work.
Their captain is "Johnnie" Miller and
their manager, Eleanor Croft, The
team is preparing this week for their
play day at Lebanon Valley next Sat-
urday, November 12. There were three
interesting practices scheduled for this
week:
Monday: Varsity vs. Picked Team of
Freshmen and Juniors.
Tuesday: Varsity vs. Bond and Key
Fraternity.
Friday: Varsity vs. Picked Team of
Sophomores and Seniors.
In addition to the group from Sus-
quehanna, there will also be visiting
teams from Cedar Crest and Shippens-
burg at the play day. The girls will
leave here early in the morning, spend
the whole day at Lebanon Valley and
return Saturday night. This trip will
end the hockey season for this year.

TYPING CHAMPION GIVES
DEMONSTRATION IN STEELE
Miss Grace M. Phelan, amateur
world's typing champion, gave a dem-
onstration of speed typing and typing
methods Tuesday morning, Nov. 8 in
Steele Science Hall. Miss Phelan, un-
der the sponsorship of the Underwood
Fisher Company, exhibited the speed
which gained her the world's title. The
champion typed consistently at a rate
of one hundred and forty words a
minute. A highlight of the demonstra-
tion was furnished when Miss Phelan
answered questions asked her by sev-
eral student while maintaining her
speed rate. The demonstration pro-
voked laughter with her imitation of
"somebody's stenog." Dr. Eric Lawson
of the University business department,
introduced the champion and assisted
in the tests.
SCHOFIELD SPEAKS ON HOW
TO IMPROVE CHAPEL SERVICE
George Brosius led the meeting of
the men's S. C. A. last Thursday at
10 p. m. in the S C. A. room at Hass-
inger Hall. Reginald Schofleld spoke
on the topic. "What We Can Do to
Improve Our Chapel Service."
The speaker brought out the impor-
tance of reverence for God as an aid
to improvement of the service. Other
factors that he pointed out were re-
spect — for God, the speaker and the
organist— and patience.

At the theater last week, a woman
wearing one of those creations known
as the latest thing in hats seated her-
self in front of Jim. Suddenly she be-
thought herself and, turning around,
said: "Pardon me. sir. but if my hat
is interfering with your seeing the
comedy. I'll take it off."
"Please don't, madam," replied Jim,
shaking with laughter, "the hat's much
funnier."

SUSQUEHANNA ALUMNI CLUB OF
SUNBURY HELD PEP RALLY
Three nights every week the Cru-
sader basketball team under the sup-
ervision of Coaches Stagg and Pritch-
ard, have been going through stiff
workouts in preparation for the com-
ing season. Practice games are being
held with independent teams through-
out the section at least once a week.
This season Coach Stagg plans to
vary his system from last year in the
fact that the team will employ both
the fast break as well as the slower
type of system basketball, depending
upon the defensive setup employed by
our opponents. The boys are rounding
into shape readily and much concern
has been shown over winning a num-
ber of games this season. Since the
schedule calls for thirteen of the sev-
enteen games to be played on the home
court, it is expected that the locals
will win at least a majority.
The lads who are playing as the var-
sity squad are Co-Captain Bennie
Gould. Harry McBride, Don Ford, Pete
Lalich. Don Wert, and John Bice. Last
evening a workout in the form of a
practice game with the Sunbury Daily
Item was played, with the locals win-
ning by a sizable margin although no
official score was kept. Coach Stagg
pointed ou{ the various weaknesses of
the drill as being the lack of correct
timing on passes, although the pass-
ing as a whole was very accurate, and
also the fact that in the act of em-
I ploying the fast break the forwards
| and center sometimes left the guards
before the latter had gotten possession
of the leather oval. However, these
minor errors will no doubt be ironed
out in full before the opening game
with Bucknell Junior College at Alum-
ni Gymnasium Friday, December 2nd.

Plans were discussed for an informal
dance and final arrangements for the
Lebanon trip were made. A tentative
social calendar was drawn up to in-
clude skating parties, hay rides, swim-
ming parties, supper and breakfast
hikes.

seemed to be a conspicuous lack of

Sam with Angle was one of the few
fortunate upper-class men in the

Croftie looked nice and Ginny Mann,

I compensated the defeat of the foot-
ball team at the hands of Lebanon
Valley, by overturning the L. V. C.
hockey team with a 5-2 score, at the
Hockey Play Day .Saturday, November
12, at Lebanon Valley.
Fifteen Susquehanna girls with Miss
| Irene Shure .instructor in women's
sports, traveled to Annville for the
sports day and tied with Cedar Crest
College for second place in hockey-
matches. Shippensburg State Teach -
ers College captured first place honors
of the four colleges represented, while
! Lebanon Valley came in last.
At the banquet in the evening, Miss
Martha Gable, National Chairman of
the Umpiring Committee for Hockey,
spoke about her trip to Australia last
year with a picked United States team
of players who went there to meet
their team. Miss Gable suggested that
the girls let something like this trip
"be your goal in hockey." She also ad-
imonished the girls from the different
', schools to "keep the ball rolling" in
! respect to continuing the hockey play-
days from year to year. Shippensburg
took a step in this direction when Miss
! Claudia Robb. coach of the Shippens-
burg team, extended an invitation for
a hockey play day at Shippensburg
next fall.
As a new departure from discussions
about hockey, the Lebanon Valley girls
initiated an entertainment in the form
of skits by members of the team from
each school. Susquehanna's program
included two songs sung by the entire
team: "T?k£ Me Out to the Hockey-
Game" and "After the Game Is Over."
Jane Hutchinson then entertained
with her trained flea Aloyisious.
"Johnnie" Miller and Madalene Hayes
did a novelty tap dance using their
hockey sticks in a routine which car-
ried out the theme of a hockey game.
They were accompanied by Verna
Gayman. Grace Fries was mistress of
, ceremonies. •
The Lebanon Valley game showed
the girls in much better form than the
! morning game with Shippensburg. It

nlayed. Captain "Johnnie" Miller. Elea-
nor Croft, Louise West, and Eleanor
Saveri. Others who were in the game
were Madalene Hayes. Jean Milligan.
Jane Hutchinson. Naomi Bingaman.
Helen Wright. Mary Lee Krumholtz.
Mary Mack, and Florence Rothermel. !
Highlights of th.? game were the
long shots for goals made by Milligan. ;
who was well backed up by Hutchin- ,
son. Hayes displayed some good dribb- i
ling ability, while Croft starred in her i
position of center forward Among the
rivals. Cedar Crest's forward line ex-
hibited cooperation that is worthy of
mention.
On the return home the team stop-
ped at Hershey and witnessed an ice
hockey match between the New York
Rovers and the Hershey Cubs.
With full rehearsals scheduled for
every evening, student actors and crew
members will work overtime this week
to prepare a polished performance of
"Stage Door" for the public Friday
I evening. November 18. The play will
be given in the Seibert Hall Chapel,
curtain time to be eight-fifteen o'clock.
First of a series of recent Broadway-
successes to be produced by the Uni-
versity Theatre Guild this season.
"Stage Door" not only provides a
story full of human interest and tense
emotion, but present a vivid picture of
life among girls seeking careers on
Broadway. Breezy in speech, manner,
and dress, these girls cover up their
fundamental seriousness with wit and
flippancy. The gay camouflage serve
only to heighten idealism, romance,
earnestness, pathos, and even tragedy
when these show through.
Although every character in the play
is skillfully and vividly characterized.
i the main plot concerns Terry Randall's
! determination to succeed on Broadway.
] Keith Burgess, young and radical play-
wright, and David Kingsley, talent
i scout for a moving picture Arm, help
| complete the picture of Broadway life
and supply the romance. Among the
girls at the "Footlights Club," a board-
ing house for actresses, are Judith, a
hard-boiled wisecracker. Kaye, an ac-
tress down on her luck, and Jean, who
is attracted by the luxuries which
Hollywood has to offer.
Taking leading parts in the play are
Lila Barnes as Terry, Charlotte Baish
as Jean. Katherine Dietterle as Kaye.
Blanche Forney as Judith, Robert
Critchfleld as David Kingsley, and Paul
Shatto as Keith Burgess. Completing
| the cast of thirty-three, the largest

The story of GATEWAY centers
around Ellis Island, where immigrants

The Crusaders' bid for a victory over
Dickinson was shattered by the Red
Devils last Saturday on Biddle Field
when the Dickinson eleven, led by the
spectacular Sammy Padjen, downed
the Orange and Maroon gridders 19-0.
Dickinson's victory over Susquehanna
came as sweet revenge after sustaining
a 44-6 loss from Dartmouth a week
Last Saturday's fracas was
before a capacity crowd on
Field as many Susquehanna !
rooters took part in the annual stu- !
dent cavalcade to Carlisle, and Dick- j
inson College was host to the fathers :
of the student body. The Red Devils'
fast charging offensive drives kept the !
Crusaders on the defensive most of the
battle.
On the opening kick-off Dickinson
took the pigskin on their own 30-yard
line. Padjen cut over tackle on the
first play and raced to the Crusaders'
47 before he was tackled. After being
held for no gain on the first down,
Padjen again broke through left
tackle and scampered across the goal
line. The kick from placement was
wide.
On the kick-off after Dickinson's in-
itial score. Bob Bastress carried the
ball to his 30 before being brought
down. After two passes to Bill Pritch-
ard were incomplete and a line plunge
failed to gain a first down, Bastress
punted to Dickinson's 45. Several plays
later the Red Devils' second touchdown
was called back on a technicality, and
Padjen punted over the Crusaders'
goal line. At the end of the first quar-
ter Dickinson had possession of the
pigskin on the Crusaders' 42 after two
successive first downs had carried the
Red Devils from their own 30.
The Orange and Maroon forward
wall held the Dickinson eleven for
downs, and Padjen punted to Monk
Meyer on his 11. Dickinson regained
possession of the ball when a Crusader
fumbled the ball on Susquehanna's 23.
After getting a first down on the Cru-
saders' 12, the Orange and Maroon line
stiffened and refused to yield a first
down to the home eleven. The Cru-
saders took the ball on their 20-yard
line when an attempted pass on the
last down was grounded in the end
zone. In an exchange of kicks Dickin-
son took the ball at midfield, and made
a first down on the Crusaders" 30 on a
pass. Several plays later Henry Keil
intercepted a pass on Susquehanna's
15-yard line, and the first half ended
with the Crusaders in possession of the
ball.
At the start of the second half Bas-
tress returned the kick-off to his 25.
Davis went off-tackle for five yards
and on the next play Bastress tossed
a long pass to Pritchard at midfield
who ran to Dickinson's 40, from where
he lateraled to Bob Herr. Herr was
forced out of bounds on the 16. Sev-
eral plays later the Red Devils took
possession of the ball when the ball
was knocked out of Bastress' hands on
on attempted pass. In an exchange of
punts Dickinson took the ball on Sus-
quehanna's 27, and registered a first
down on the first play in an off -tackle
plunge. After being thrown for a four
yard loss, Padjen went off-tackle for a
touchdown. The try for the extra
point from placement was good.
Early in the last quarter Dickinson
marched down to the Crusaders' six-
yard marker before the Crusaders' line
held them for downs. Dickinson recov-
ered the ball when Monk Meyer
fumbled on an attempted end run on
his six. Padjen scored the third
touchdown several plays later on a
line plunge

Well, my friends, the season is go- I
ing down the home stretch and to tell
the truth we're pretty glad. This foot-
ball racket is plenty tough to beat, as
a matter of truth it is unbeatable as <
far as the "Moose," your forecaster, is
concerned; he's been taking it on the
ol' nose for seven weeks with only one
good week. Take a look this week be-
cause believe it or not for the first ;
time we are going to pick exactly eight
out of ten.
Susquehanna over Brooklyn College —
take It from the "Moose," for the
first time in two years, THE CRU-
SADERS BRING HOME THE BA-
CON.
Syracuse over Columbia — an "in and
out team" and this is their week to
be "in."
Duke over North Carolina — the Blue
Devils are Rose Bowl bound, keep
your eye on "Eric the Red" Tipton,
when you pick your All-American
lineup.
Notre Dame over Northwestern — any
Saturday is St. Patrick's Day for the
Irish.
Army over Princeton— Tigers can't up-
set the apple cart two weeks in a
row.
Michigan State over Temple— Pop
Warner's Owls will be a lot wiser in
the ways of pigskindom after a loss
from the Staters.
Vlllanova over Boston University — the
"Chief" tells me that Clipper Smith's
boys are Just too good.

"RANDOM SPOPvTS"
Again we are at a Iosj for words as
we episode on the "randomanical" hap-
penings of the past week in the way of
sports on the campus. Should we tell
you about the honesty of a newspaper
writer (it would only take a line or
two), should we tell you about the
manner in which "long ball" is played
in Weehawken. or should we tell you
that despite the fact that the Cru-
saders lost to Dickinson last Saturday,
they played like a well oiled machine??
We choose the latter and we also
choose to enumerate the bright spots:
1. The ground gaining of Bob Bas-
tress and Bill Davis which gave the
locals much of the ground needed to
stay out of danger.
2. The manner in which little Bob
Bastress eluded the Red Devil line-
men in attempting to toss passes.

Bloomsburg Booters
Top Crusaders, 5-0
The Crusader soccer team lost to the
Bloomsburg State Teachers last Thurs-
day by a 5-0 score. The game was
played on the Bloomsburg field and
despite the fact that the locals lost
by a one-sided score, the game was
perhaps the best to date.
The Huskies scored their first goal
on a penalty kick in the second per-
iod and their final goals came in quick
succession soon after the second half
got under way. Throughout the con-
test the ball was kept going from one
end of the field to the other with
powerful blocking featuring a game
which marked the second meeting of
the two teams this season.
Houck and Garcia featured the play
of the home club while Gensel. Trout-
man, McCord, Wert, and Shipe played
outstanding offensively and defensively
for the Crusaders.
The lineup for the locals was com-
pOMd of RW. Gensel; RI, Troutman; !
C. Fuhrman; LI. McCord; LW, Shipe;

TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH
PRESENTS TEMPERANCE MOVIE
An all-sound movie entitled "Ten
Nights in a Bar Room." will be sho\!n
in Trinity Lutheran Church Tuesday
evening. November 29. at 7:30 o'clock.
This film will be brought to Selins-
grove under the auspices of the tem-
perance organization of Snyder coun-
ty. Dr. George F. Dunkelberger says
of it : ' : This film is well worth the
time spent in seeing it. and as many as
possible should attend."
"Ten Nights In a Bar Room," a book
in fiction form, was written more than
fifty years ago by Timothy S. Arthur.
It contains many characters who fre-
quented the bar room in a certain
mid-Western town. The author de-
scribes scenes which occurred in a
typical bar room for ten consecutive
nights. This book, excepting necessary
alterations, has been dramatized in
film and remains as probably the
greatest temperance drama ever pro-
duced.
All those who wish to see the picture
and who are unable to attend the
showing Tuesday evening may see it
Monday evening in Beavertown at 7:30
o'clock, or in Middleburg Wednesday
at the same hour.

On Monday. November 7. Bond and
Key tied the non-fraternity men, 12- I

mural Touchball League. Bond and
Key scored their first touchdown when
Sam Rogers tossed a long aerial to
John Bice late in the first quarter from
the midfield stripe. The non-fratern-
ity knotted the count several minutes
later when Shusta snared a pass from
Jones on Bond and Key's 30-yard
marker and crossed the goal line un-
molested. Early in the third period
the non-fraternity men forged into the
lead as the result of a triple pass from
Jones to Art Wilson to Shusta who
made the second touchdown. Late in
the fourth period Ford went wide
around his left end from his 40 to
the non-fraternity 35. then he heaved
a pass to Ken Kinney; Kinney tied the
score 12-12.

Osteopathy Expert
Speaks to Pre-Meds
Students interested in medicine had
the unusual pleasure of listening to a
lecture by Dr. Otterbein Dressier, D.O.,
M.Sc, professor of pathology at the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, on
Thursday, December 8, at 11:00 in
Steele Science Hall. Dr. Dressier was
introduced to the students by Mr. L.
G. Schacterle. director of admissions
at the Philadelphia School of Osteo-
pathy.
In his lecture Di. Dressier very
forcefully presented a challenge to the
young men interested in medicine.
Certain criteria were given to be used
in an analysis of the individual to de-
termine whether or not the individual
is adapted to the study of medicine.
Young men entering college are in the
most important period of their lives
for college determines one's prepara-
tion for after life; so the eminent
pathologist told the students who were
gathered in Steele Science Hall. Dr.
Dressier briefly outlined the funda-
mental differences between osteopathy
and medicine.
The Philadelphia College of Osteo-
pathy is in its fortieth year, being
established in 1898, and incorporated
as the Philadelphia College and In-
firmary' of Osteopathy, January 27,
1899.

In World's Fair New
Year Celebration
0. D. S. Girls Sponsor
Party For Children
Omega Delta Sigma sorority has
chosen Wednesday evening. December
14, as the date of their Christmas
party for needy children of Selins-
grove. This is a rather new idea at
Susquehanna and the girls are doing
everything in their power to make the
affair a marvelous success.
Thirty children have been chosen.
with the help of the teachers in the
public schools, from the first three
grades. The attempt was made to get
only those boys and girls who would
otherwise have a rather dismal Christ-
mas, those who will really appreciate
the fun. They will be escorted up to
Seibert Hall at about 5:30 p. m. on
Wednesday.
Both the O.D.S. sorority room and
the social rooms are to be used for the
entertpfnment of the children. Christ-
mas decorations will be in evidence
and there will, of course, be a tree
made gav with lights and tinsel. Santa
Claus will be present and it has been
whispered around that he will have
very nice gifts for the little guests.
Sunper will be the first thing on the
program and games will follow.
S
K. D. P. Invifps Other
Sororities to Party
Kauna Delta Phi will entertain the
other two sororities, Omega Delta Sig-
ma and Sigma Aloha Iota, Thursday
night. December 15. The affair is to
be a very informal Christmas party.
R will start at 9:30 in the K. D. P.
sorority room and will be over at about
11:00.
There will be entertainment and
lunch in a Christmas atmosphere.
Decorations will be a help to the spirit,
too. The committee for the party is as
follows: Grace Fries. Martha Engle,
and Eleanor Saveri. Miss Saveri is act-
ing as chairman.
H is expected that this party will
help the girls of the different sororities
to get better acquainted and in so
doing that they will also have a great
deal of fun.

Every section of America will bring
to its festivities next New Year's Eve
an entirely new theme and motif when
cities, towns, hamlets and households
unite throughout the nation to cele-
brate the New York World's Fair 1939
as heralding the "Dawn of a New Day"
—a day of peace and progress in the
lives of nations and peoples.
According to Grover A. Whalen,
President of the Fair Corporation, the
program calls for a gigantic "get-to-
gether" party of color and light which
will extend to all parts of the country
from a hub of unprecedented brilliance
in Times Square, New York City. It
will be a coordinated demonstration,
Mr. Whalen pointed out, planned to
unite 132,000,000 Americans in the ser-
vice of an enterprise devoted to the
advancement of international peace,
good will, and a better understanding
among all the peoples of the world.
Ships at sea, American embassies and
| colonies abroad will also participate
with World's Fair parties.
To expedite the plan locally, ar-
rangements will be handled by forty-
eight Fair Committees representing
every state in the Union. Each of these
includes on its roster one hundred
prominent men and an equal number
of the state's outstanding women.
These will enlist separate communi-
ties to follow New York City, itself, in
flying the Fair's colors of orange and
blue. Promptly at midnight, too. local
electric signs, all timed to the second,
will flash the Fair's "Dawn of a New
Day" message or the trylons and peri-
spheres which symbolize the exposi-
tion. (The Trylon is a slender, tower-
ing shaft of three sides linked, near
its base to the Perisphere. a ball>

its second meeting of the year in Steele
Science. Warren Wlghtman gave a
demonstration of the method used in
determining the hydrogen-ion concen-
tration in a solution. Mr. Wightman's
l°ctur? was concerned chiefly with the
, theory and the physics aspects of the
experiment. This experiment, which
lies in the physical-chemistry field, was
worked out in the physics laboratory
hv Wightman, with the assistance of
• Dr. Houtz and Paul Ochenrider in the
chemistry laboratory. After the dem-
cnstrption a discussion was held on the
relative importance of this accurate
method of determining the hydrogen-
i«n concentration of a solution in in-
dustr-. in medicine, and in biology.
■Before beginning his demonstration,
Wiehtman announced that the physics
f'enartment has purchased aDnaratus
to set up a short-wave transmitter and
receiver set. Upon completion Susque-
hanna University will have a short-
wave station from which short-wave
j-"essaees may be sent and received.
At the first meeting: of the Biemic
Rocietv the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: presi-
dent. Alfred Learn; vice-nresident. Ken
Kinnrv nnd secretary -treasurer. Paul
Ochenrider. At the conclusion of this
meeting Mr. Learn appointed two
students for each of the three science
departments on the campus. They are

Skating Party Held
By Business Club
On Friday evening a large group of
the members of the Business Society
and other students gathered at Seiberl
Hall where they piled into cars for the
ride to the Island Park Roller-skating
Rink. In spite of the rainy weather,
spirits were high, and the merry crowd
hustled to get their skates on and soon
were gliding onto the floor.
Off sped the more courageous ones,
among whom were "Hutch", Tribby.
Barnes, and Snyder, while the timid
souls took painstaking steps. Ruth
Farley was one of the first to "bite the
dirt"; but it was only because of her
skat coming loose, as she was later
seen doing some fancy steps in con-
junction with Saunders, "Bing", and
Kinney. Pranksters, Johnnie Mat-
thews and Bill Mervine. were tripped
by their own capers and went for sev-
eral spills.
Poor Anne Yount had a time trying
to regain her former skating-ability,
but Konkle finally got the situation in
hand, after which they spent more
time on their feet. For a beginner Ed-
win Smith did very well; congratula-
tions. Aiso among the novices who
came in for their share of sitting on
the floor, unexpectedly, were Professor
D. I. Reitz, Verlin Smaltz, Delphine
Hoover, and George Spiggle.
Joe Pasterchik wizzed past as if he
were breaking a speed record, but his
race ended in a tumble. Dr. and Mrs.
Eric Lawson enjoyed themselves im-
mensely, partaking of the falls along
with the best of them. "Angie" seemed
to be in hurry, and so she was, for
Rogers was tagging along in her wake.
Mr. Carter Osterbind displayed consid-
erable skill in trick skating.
Among those who were initiated into
the "Floor-dusters Society" were:
Mastovich. Lois Davis, Reichard, Sara
Williams. Frattali, Sechler, Hill Shock -
ey, Tewkesbury, Shoemaker, and Heap.
Others who were present but who re-
tained their* dignity, were: Coleman,
McCord, Stonesifer and Mendenhall.
MacQueston. Gayman and Baldwin.
Bob Herr, the Beamenderfer sisters,
and Himes and Jones.
After the evening was over all troop-
ed homeward, well content with the
fun they had. contemplating a day or
two of stiffness, but also expressing a
wish for bigger and better roller-skat-
ing parties in the future.

work around the campus which have been of a highly commend-

nevertheless, docs much toward Improving the condition of the

past the library building has always been in poor condition dur-

The Football Schedule
Susquehanna's football schedule for the season of JO.'iO was
recently released with the disclosure that the Crusader football
team will l>e called upon to face a more difficult array of oppon-
ents than it has played in several seasons. As far as we have
been able to get student opinion, we have found that it is almost
unanimously exp re s sed that the chedule is too difficult for a
school of Susquehanna's size and athletic policy. The schools
which have been placed on the schedule are, with but few ex-
ceptions, schools which are much larger than our own school and
Which carry out an athletic policy not practiced at Susquehanna.
These schools are admittedly out of our class. Yet, whenever
the Susquehanna team plays the team of one of these institu-
tions, our re p resen tative invariably give a good account of them-
selves even though they may be on the losing end of the More.
It is interesting to note that we have not been completely out-
classed by any of the teams which are out of our class. This is
a tribute to the men on the team who are playing hard even
though the opponent has a distinct edge in pre-game reckoning.
However, we should point out that Susquehanna has always
done very well when it has played schools in its class. We do
not object to the scheduling of one or two teams which are out I
of our sphere, if there is then included in the list of games what
are known as "breathers" in addition to our encounters with like
teams. Should this plan l>e applied, we will find that the record
of the football team would improve. It would then be possible
that Susquehanna could upset tome of the teams which are, at
present, given a higher ranking. Inder the present system which
calls upon the team to meet a foe like or greater strength week
after week, it is almost a miracle to complete the season with a
presen table record
In the interest of improving athletic morale, The Susque-
hanna suggests that a plan he devised whereby a schedule is
arranged which is in keeping with Susquehanna University's
position in the field of intercollegiate competition.

Upsala Cagers Nose
Out Crusaders, 33-30
The Orange and Maroon court team
suffered their second defeat in inter- j
collegiate competition last Thursday
night from Upsala College in the
Alumni Gjym by a 33-30 score. The
Crusaders" scoring spurt in the closing
minutes of the tussle failed to edge
out the visitors who gained a com-
fortable lead early in the last period.
At the outset of the cage tilt both
fives missed numerous opportunities to
score as the ball frequently bounced
off the rim. The Upsala quintet was
the first to score after several minutes
of scoreless playing. The visitors ran
up a seven point lead before the Cru-
saders were able to break into the scor-
ing column, when Harry "Slats" Mc- '
Bride sank a brace of fouls. McBride
followed these fouls with two long
shots of the spectacular variety sev-
eral minutes later. At this point in
the exciting tilt both fives tightened
their defense and neither team was
able to run up a score. With five min-
utes to go in the first half the count
was knotted, 11-11. At the close of j
the first half the Crusaders held a
three point advantage over the Upsala'
cagers, 17-14.
Throughout all of the third period
the Crusaders battled Upsala on even
terms as McBride and Gould aided the
Crusaders in keeping up with the fast
passing and shooting Upsala five.
Early in the last period the visitors
staged a scoring rally which the Cru-
saders were unable to overcome in the
closing seconds of the contest.
McBride led the scoring attack for
the Crusaders, and Ford, Heir, and
Wert stood out as spectacular floor
showmen in maneuvering the ball in
front of the Crusaders' basket.

Penn State Game
Susquehanna University was defeat-
ed by Penn State 31-22 on State's
floor, Saturday, December 10.
From the opening whistle the Penn
State Lions lived up to their name by-
keeping the situation well in hand.
Wasting little time they began scoring
field goals from all over the floor.
Their great height enabled them to
pass over the heads of their oppon-
ents.
In the first half the Lions got the
tip-off and immediately scored. The
Crusaders retreived the ball and made
little headway in penetrating the
stonewall defense of the opposing
quintet. Repeatedly the Lions took
the ball from their smaller opopnents
to score. It wasn't until late in the
first period that Susquehanna scored.
Herr was fouled and converted the
point. This made the score 22-1. At
this point another team entered the
game for State, and started where the
other team left off. For the remaind-
er of the half State continued to pile
UP points while holding the Crusad-
ers to three more foul goals.
After intermission the Crusaders
gained their mark as Dave Murray
tossed in the first field goal for Sus-
quehanna. This was followed by a goal
by Don Ford. State then put their
defense into action and held the vis-
itors without any more points for six
minutes. Ford again came through to
tally another goal. Throughout the
remainder of the game State kept
building up their lead.
S
Milliner: "Pardon, Madame. This is
the hat you just bought; that's the box
you're wearing."
The following statistics have been
released by Coach Amos A. Stagg, Jr.,
as indicative of the yardage made by
Susquehanna University's football team
as compared with the yardage gained
by its opponents. In several of the
contests which the Crusaders lost, it ■
is seen that although the score was
against it, the Orange and Maroon
outplayed its rivals in the matter of j
yards gained from scrimmage.
Bobby Bastress. diminutive running
back and Little All American choice,
topped the local ball carriers for two I
consecutive years by gaining 454 yards
from scrimmage in 1937 and in the
first six games of the 1938 season a !
total of 508 yards. "Junie" Miller was
runner-up to Bastress in 1937 with
313 yards despite the fact that he was
not able to play the final two games
of that season. For the current season,
Everett "Bucky" Rishel, freshman full-
back, captures the second post with
167 yards.

were gained per game; 1937 the aver-
age was 1WH yards per game, and to
date this year we have averaged 235
yards per game.
In the six games played this season
we have made 1410 yards as compared
with 1412 yards in eight games last
year.

Bastress Named For
"Little All- American"
Bob Bastress, fleet-footed halfback
on Susquehanna's football team this
past season, is continuing to receive
laurels from the many sport writers of
the state as well as from the coaches
and players of the colleges which we
contested this past season.
Last week it was announced in the
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh news-
papers, that Bastress was given honor-
able mention as a halfback on the Ail-
American Team of the smaller colleges
and he was also given honorable men-
tion as a backfleld candidate on the
All-State team. Lebanon Valley, the
team against which Bastress raced
eighty-five yards for a score, placed
him on their all-opponent team.
Previous to receiving these honors,
the Northumberland athlete had been
placed on Dickinson's all-opponent
team, being ranked on a par with such
men as McLeod of Dartmouth and
Hamilton, of Gettysburg.

At the present time the sport pro-
gram of the many colleges throughout
the nation is centered in basketball,
the game which many persons believe
will some day succeed baseball as the
national game. In the eastern section
of the nation the game is just getting
under way but in the mid-West the
colleges have been meeting their rivals
for over a month. Indiana, the basket-
ball state of the nation, has been re-
porting that college games have been
attracting record crowds. The open-
ing game at the University of Indiana
attracted thirteen thousand spectators. ;
Such public enthusiasm over an indoor
sport has seldom been equaled in ama-
teur athletics.
Coach Stagg's Crusaders have been
drilling every afternoon in an attempt
to become a winning team, but to date
have been able to win only one con-
test. Nevertheless, all the home games
were nip and tuck battles, with less
than five points separating the two
teams. During the first ten minutes of
the Upsala game, the locals were
stricken with a malady which is some-
times called "rimitis." Almost every
shot which the locals tossed at the
basket would roll around the rim of
the basket without falling in the right
direction. Finally, however, Harry Mc-
Bride took the lid off the basket and
from that moment till the end of the
fracas, the Crusaders gave the New
Jersey lads plenty of trouble.
It is indeed encouraging to see so
many of the students and faculty turn
out to see the games. Despite the fact
that the local courtmen have failed
j to win consistently, no one can doubt
i the fact that the boys are trying hard
and putting everything they have in
an effort to win game.
Football is not over for the year of
1938. New Year's Day will mark the
final contests, these being the various
Bowl games. The first official New
Year's Day contest of this sort was
played in 1916, this being what is
known as the Rose Bowl game, which
is held as a part of the celebration held
annually, the Tournament of Roses of
Pasadena. California. The "Moose"
has ended his season of predicting, but
we feel we should do a little substitut-
ing and predict the winners of the
three most important Bowl games.
They are: Southern California over
Duke in the Rose Bowl, Tennessee over
Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, and
Texas Christian over Carnegie Tech
in the Sugar Bowl.
The sport staff of the Susquehanna
has selected what it believes is to be
the Crusader's all-opponent team.
Each selection is based on the individ-
ual's play against the locals, and not
on their record throughout the season.
Ehmling of Drexel is considered by
those who picked the lineup, as the
best all-around player.

As the final period began both
teams opened up offensively as Fox
■cored for the visitors. Gould came |
through for the homesters and the
score was knotted at 33-33. Gould j
scored a few seconds later with a ,

bskets as Fox and Kerfoot tallied for
the Carlisle lads and Co-captains Herr

tie the score at 39-39.
With the crowd in a constant uproar,
Fcx made a goal to give Dickinson the
lead 41-39. McBride again came thro-

while Fox countered with a free toss to
tie the score 42-42. With less than a

There is another side. A dull, exact-

ministers with whom he has had con-
tacts reasons for failure in what he
called the most exacting profession.
Ore of these men was a very brilliant
preacher filled with the spirit of evan-
gelism, he had a zeal for getting new
members, but he failed because he
couldn't keep friends; he sacrificed
friendships for principles. Dean Gait
warned the Pre-Theologians that at
times principles must be pushed into
the background for personalities and
individualities. Friendships aid one in
helping set souls at ease.
Another -one of Dean Gait's ac-
quaintances was known for his ability
*n c h ? a shrewd bargain, perhaps be-
cause of his Scotch-Irish ancestry.
This man ruined his career because of
his business-like attitude in church
dealings. There are times for this, but
it should not drive the Christian spirit
out.
Dean Gait's third example told of
some of the temptations that are pre-
sented to ministers through their con-
gregations.
He closed by saying that ministers
must attain higher standards than the I
people they serve. There are many \
things that are unfair, and there are ;
many things that must be given up in :
order to maintain the standards set up \
for ministers by other people.

of his work in treating habitual in-

Final Drive
With the beginning of ;i new year, ntudents find themselves
confronted with the fast-approaching end of the ftrsl semester of
the scholastic year. In a very few weeks. <mr examinations will
be given us and upon the results of the examinations will largely
depend our grades for the first semester of the year 1 !>.".8-1939.
Perhaps, there is a select group among us who are able to view
the coming period of testing without any apprehension. How-
ever, by far the larger number of ns look forward somewhat oon-
cernedly. There is also a tendency to look backward and when
we do this we can easily discern many glaring mistakes which
we made and tor which we are now paying In being anxious
about examinations. Ii should not be our feeling at this time
that further effort will he of no avail if we have not done well
thus far. We should realize that a strong finish in every race
and competition does much to off-set a poor beginning. A de-
featist attitude will profit little, whereas, a determination to
make the host of what has occurred and an attempt to improve
will go far toward overcoming our earlier mistakes. It is entirely
possible that now is the time that some of us are "eatching-on"
to our courses after previous haziness. It is not too late to ob-
tain a passing mark in such subjects. A comprehensive review
will be a great aid toward making good in the examination.
Then too. our professors will recognize the improvement in our
work and will grade accordingly. The added effort is certain to
brinjj results and will enable many of us to finish the semester
with a commendable record. It is with this thought that we urge
a finishing drive by the student body of Susquehanna University.

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
Back in print again after a vacation
in the lovely country I bring you the
| latest news about which I have nothing
new to tell you as you know it all al-
| ready, and so here goes.
We hear by that underground rail-
, road, commonly called Seibert Hall
I Gossip, that there is friction on the
] campus, and even between the two
'most conspicuous people, the all-Amer-
jican team, S. and A. But you know I
don't have much belief in this bit of
gossip, it just wouldn't look natural to
see the one without the other.
Speaking of dances I hear that an
inter-sorority dance is soon to be pull-
ed off. We hear that it might just be
possible for Young to get a bid.
Is it true or did Gracie really have
a birthday anniversary on Jan. 5? The
little gentlemen all got together and
sang happy birthday to her in the Na-
tional Restaurant on the same night.
I wonder how much she must have
paid for that service?
It seems that inter-class basketball
has gotten under way again unnoticed
by the campus in general and that the
lowly freshmen knocked off the high
flying juniors who had two ex-varsity
men in their lineup. Maybe they are
good H mean the juniors) but if the
freshmen can beat them what will the
sophomores do?
By the way, speaking of basketball
reminds me that there seems to be very
little class spirit according to the num-
ber of witnesses who viewed the two
games. I do remember one witness
though. She. it seems, is a junior. Miss
Hayes, and I wish to congratulate her
but why did you leave after the senior-
sophomore game? Here I was, under
j the impression that you came to see
I the juniors play, but I guess I was
; wrong.
One thing very noticeable at the
games was the high percentage of
flashy satin trunks. If some of the
players were only as good as their
trunks looked. I am very much afraid
that the varsity would And itself play-
ing on the class teams. In other words
I I think it would be nice if sometime
I the varsity could go on the floor look-
ing as good as some of the teams who
play here. I was glad to see that the
varsity has sweat suits for their warm
up period at last.
It seems that a certain fellow on this
campus ought to give the dear little
girls a break. Now Jack, even if Nel-
son is the better man for one girl it
is no reason for you to become a wo-
man hater.
Well Kiddies I guess that is all for
i this time.

Vespers
Another of the features of Susquehanna University which
we have seen prow in recent years is the Sunday evening vesper
services which are held in the college chapel. It is only a mat-
ter of approximately two years ago that only a mere handful of
Students turned-out on Sunday evenings for the vesper program.
However, recently we have noticed that the number of those in
attendance at these devotional periods lias increased very much.
We have also discovered that the caliber of the service lias im-
proved over that of former years. The devotions have assumed a
Worshipful and reverent aspect fully in keeping witli the pro-
gram and aims of those who administer the services. Attendance
at vespers is recommended to all students. We do not believe
that reaper attendance should be used as a substitute for church
attendance. However, we contend that a religious service con-
ducted by students will go far toward j>ivin<v all of us the essen-
tial element of religion which is essential to the well-rounded
man and woman. It seems that the examples set by our immedi-
ate friends ami fellows are powerful in their influence upon us.
In this fact lies the Strength of student conducted vesper serv-
ices.
However even though the Sunday evening devotions are bet-
ter attended than formerly, there is still room for many who do
not avail themselves of the opportunity to attend. Sunday will
have a greater meaning to us when we have cultivated the habit
of regularly going to vespers in Beiberl chapel.

"DABBLING IN DRIVEL"
The campus socialites experienced a
New Year's all over again last Satur-
day night in Alumni Gymnasium. Sev-
eral of our local boys did themselves
quite proud at this jam session deluxe,
namely: Carter on the doghouse, Rain-
ey on the slush pump and gob stick.
Higgins on the 88. Sechler on the belly
fiddle, and Ewing supporting this stel-
lar cast by giving out on the second
and fourth from his circle of skin and
tom-toms.
As a garbled conglomeration of notes
i known as "Honey Suckle Rose") smote
the ozone, the alligators began to ar-
rive for the session. After dancing for
an hour or so they discovered that the
cake and punch were free, thanks to
K. D. P. tow), and so proceeded to
take advantage of the unprecedented
generosity.
Came time for intermission and
Shirley as mistress of ceremonies
charmed the assemblage with "So Help
Me." Don't you think she is just about
the acme of hostesses? For a little re-
lief from the strictly jive element.

Just as everyone was beginning to

they gave themselves up to a second
New Year's celebration — (my, my. how

Thank You
Some time ago, we wrote a little piece in this column con-
cerning the need of lights in the library. When Susquehanna
students returned from the Christmas recess they were pleasant-
ly surprised by noticing that the administration had installed
lamps on each of the tables in the library. The improvement of
the Studying facilities in the library has had immediate results.
On Several nights during the past week, we have noticed that stu-
dents bad taken advantage of the library as the prime studying
place to the extent that nearly every table was tilled. Every por-
tion of the building is now well lighted.
Since it was through the Susquehanna that the need for
additional lights in the library was brought to the attention of
the student body, we believe it fitting that we make an acknowl-
edgment in print of the acquisition of the fixtures. We offer a
hearty "thank you" to those who have brought about the im-
provement.

Crusader Courtmen
Lose to Hartwick
In Extra Period
Seniors and Frosh
Win Court Games
<c
RANDOM SPORTS"
Susquehanna basketball fans witness-
ed one of the most thrilling court con-
tests in recent years in the Alumni
gym last Thursday evening, January 5,
as the Crusader dribblers rallied dur-
ing the second half to hold a two point
margin in the last minute of the tilt.
With only a few seconds remaining to
play Mulligan tied the score with a
shot from the side of the court. In the
extra period the visitors chalked up
seven points and blanked the Crusad-
ers to win 49-42.
At the outset of the exciting tilt
Hartwick jumped into the lead before
the Crusader dribblers were able to
rack up any counters, and they held a
12-4 lead over the homesters. At the
half the up-state quintet led 22-13. In
the third period the Orange and Ma-
roon scoring attack came to life to
stage a rally which netted them four-
teen points, while holding the visitors
to Ive points.
At the start of the last period the
Crusaders were lacking one point of
tieing Hartwick. At this point in the
hotly contested tilt the Crusader five
again rallied with a spectacular attack
and succeeded in holding a three point
margin over the visitors. Several min-
utes later the Hartwick quintet knotted
the count with a penalty throw and a
long shot by Mohahan. In the closing
minutes of the contest Don Ford tossed
one in from under the basket to give
the Crusaders what appeared to be the
winning margin. However. Mulligan
took the ball off the back board with
three seconds to play and tossed it in
to knot the score, 42-42.
Hartwick had little trouble in the
extra period as Monahan and Mulligan
found the basket for two-pointers as
the Crusader quintet failed to click in
the manner of the last half. McPee
added another field goal for the visit-
ors to end the extra period.
Monahan paced the winners with
twenty-one points, and Bob Mulligan
followed with eleven. Don Ford led the
scoring attack for the locals with elev-
en counters.

During the second period the teams
merely traded baskets and the score
stood 21-19 in favor of the underclass
group. The second half was a nip and

WANTED: A basketball fan with or
without experience, to advance a
theory which, if employed by the Cru-
saders, will stop the slow starts which
have hampered the team in almost
every game this season. Everyone of
our opponents this season have enjoy-
ed comfortable margins during the
first period of play. Last Friday eve-
ning Hartwick got off to an 18-7 lead
in the first ten minutes and it was not
until the closing minutes of the regular
game that the Staggmen were able to
cope with that lead. In the final half
the locals scored 28 points in twenty
minutes. In the first naif we scored 13
points in twenty minutes. So. — who-
ever you are or wherever you are. pre-
sent yourself to the gym, tell the Cru-
saders of your theory, and if it is suc-
cessful you will receive a free ticket to
next year's Gravy Bowl fotball game.
DOES PRACTICE MAKE FOR
PERFECTION: Every afternoon as a
climax to basketball practice, the Cru-
saders shoot twenty-five fouls each. In
practice the lads average eighteen out
of twenty-five, but what has been the
team average in games this season?
Lest some stranger were to read this
column, we will not name the figures,
a stranger may think that the locals
are blind. At any rate the foul shoot-
ing record of the team has been atro-
cious. Just one more foul goal would
have meant victory against Hartwick.
DID YOU KNOW THAT: The bas-
ketball teams representing colleges in
the western half of the country have

Dean Gait Lauds
Famed Turk Dictator
No Hollywood lot ever Aimed a story
so incredible as the living work of
Mustafa Kemal Aaturk. the low-born
soldier, who as dictator of modern
Tttrkey. has completely changed the
culture of his ancient people, accord-
ing to Dean Russell Gait of Susque-
hanna University and for seventeen
years connected with American Uni-
versity at Cairo. Egypt.
"In a world gone mad with dictator-
ship, two so-called Christian countries
—Germany and Italy leading this
lunatic procession. Mustafa Kemal
Aaturk as dictator of his people, re-
mained sane. Despite 3 brilliant mili-
tary record and the fierce background
of the Turkish soldier, he refused to
rattle the sword but used his ruthless
power to wipe out age-long evils, who
though a Moslem, acted politically like
a Christian. In Europe, in so-called
Christian nations, his two brother dic-
tators have been rattling their swords
since their ascent to power."
With his long experience in the
Orient. Dean Gait was very much
touched by the passing of the great
Turk dictator and stated that in twen-
ty years did more for Turkey, (and
thus for the whole backward Near East
and the great Moslem World* than
anyone had done for Turkish reforma-
tion in the last millenium.
Up until last September when he
became dean of Susquehanna Univer-
sity. Dr. Gait served as professor of
education and dean of the faculty at
the American University. Cairo, Egypt.
Dean Gait is well known as a lecturer
in the field of civilization and history
of the Near East.

of Past Revealed To Challenge War
Back in the days when it was con-
sidered collegiate to mingle with Hero-
dotus and Horace; when the South was
considering secession; when Susque- .
hanna University launched its inaug- ;
ural year in 1858, annual college ex- :
penses sounded like an itemized week- !
end vacation bill of the present day.
Susquehanna University's old cata-
logues range college tuition bills from
$15 to $27 per year; $2.66 per session
fOf room "furnished with bed and
chaff -tick"; $1.00 per session for jani-
tor service; and $1.75 per week for
board. Each collegian in those "good
old days" had his own stove and had
to supply his own fuel.
Student regulations in those early
days might furnish amusing reading
for collegians of today: "Each student
shall keep a pail or bucket of water
in his room in case of fire"; "using ex-
plosive fluids as lights in the building
was prohibited"; "students were for-
bidden to keep gunpowder, fire-arms,
or deadly weapons of any kind about
the person or in the rooms"; "spitting
tobacco juice upon the floor was strict-

Betty Albury Leads
S. C. A. Discussion
Policy of U. S.
On Thursday evening at the Girls'
SC.A. meeting in Seibert Parlors, the
discussion on the topic of "Total Ab-
stinence in Dranking and Smoking"
was led by Betty Albury. Elsie Hochel-
la accompanied the singing, and gave
a piano solo.
Miss Albury gave a fair eye's .lew of
both sides of the question, the side of
total abstinence and the one of moder-
ation. She said that according to an
article in the Readers' Digest smoking
with most women is merely in the
winning of a point rather than real
enjoyment. She cited case histories
showing how excessive drinking has led
to the downfall of many families, and
then on the opposite viewpoint showed
how it was greatly through prohibition
that excessive drinking was caused.
Teach people to drink, moderately, like
gentlemen, and you eliminate the dan-
t*t of excessive alcoholism. It was
decided that there could be no definite
' mdard, generally speaking, but that
each person must decide for himself
what he or she Is going to do. Ono
word of caution was sounded, and that
hi "If you drink or smoke, make sure
that you use them, and that they don't

The Susquehanna University Debat-
ing Association under the direction of ;
Prof. Russell Gilbert has begun in ten- j
sive work in preparation for one of the
most challenging schedules in many
years. Debates have already been
scheduled with eleven colleges and uni-
ersities throughout Pennsylvania and
surrounding states, and others are to
be added later. The question to be de-
bated this year is: "Resolved:- that
the United States should follow a policy
of isolation toward all nations involved
in international or civic conflict (out-
side the Western Hemisphere)".
This topic, dealing with the war pol-
i icy of the United States, has received
wide publicity recently with the Pan-
American Conference held at Lima.
Peru, at which the America^ resolved
to protect themselves against any pow-
ler that might attempt an invasion of
1 our hemisphere. President Roosevelt's
address on armaments last Thursday
i in which he asked for enormous sums
; to be expended for national defense
| will also have a bearing upon this is-
| sue.
Among the teams to be met this
I season are: Moravian College; West-
ern Maryland College. Westminster.
Maryland; Ursinus College; Brothers

Brunswick. New Jersey; Penn State,
Juniata College, St. Vincents College.
Westminster College, Allegheny Col-
lege, Waynesburg College. University
of Pittsburgh (tentative), and Buck-
nell University (tentative).' While
some of these will be home debates,
held on campus or in nearby high
schools, the majority of the debates will
take place on two tours— one through
eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
New Jersey; the other through western
Pennsylvania. These tours are sched-
| uled for late March.
Another annual event on the debat-
ers' schedule will be the two-day Penn
State Debaters' Convention to be held
at Penn State, March 18 and 19.
The highest honor which a debater
at Susquehanna University can attain
is membership in the Tau Kappa Al-
pha, national honorary public speaking
fraternity This is the second largest
honorary speech fraternity in exist-
ence, having over 100 chapters in col-
leges and universities throughout the
United States. Lowell Thomas is the
national president of this fraternity.
Present members of the local chapter
include: Dr. George F. Dunkelberger.

Freshman Girls Make Formal Debut
At Dinner Dance as Guests of Sororities
Even the fleecy shower which the
skies rained upon our campus over the
weekend could not interfere with the
\ success of the sorority rush dance Sat-
urday evening. Undaunted by inclem-
ent atmospheric conditions, the fresh-
man girls plodded their way to the
! gym. where they made their first "of-
ficial" appearance as guests of the
girls of The Pipes of Pan, The Owl,
! and The Griffin.
It is a debatable question as to whe-
j ther the freshmen or the upperclass-
■ men were most surprised when they
| were welcomed by a reception commit -
I tee. This is an innovation at our danc-
es and should be continued, in spite of
the violent protests of Fritz and Fish-
| er, whose Fraulein were members of
that committee.
Even though Baisch, Engle, Forney,
j Appier, and Curtis might have been
j exhausted by the antics of their "jit-
I terbug" companions, Russ Fairchild
was successful in satisfying the most
critical of Terpsichoreans. The number
of men who dress formal seem to mul-
tiply with every danoe; Snooky and
Anne could well be proud of the Im-
pressive appearance created by their
escorts in tails.
Several Alumni sisters were seen in
the gathering; the Reese family reun-
ion. Marty Bolig. Eleanor Jones, and
last year's attractive May Queen, Essy
'■ Yingling. still with Tubby.
It might be added here that the
freshman girls gave a very good ac-
count of themselves. It was their
dance and they seemed to be enjoying
themselves. Barnes. Yount, Snyder
and company were engulfed in their
I own universe. Jean's ankle held up
| well. Fenner arrived late, but didn't
t take long to acclimate herself.
There were some unfamiliar couples
[ in attendance. Perky selected a fellow
I representative of the metropolis Flo
Reitz was successful in wrestling Phil
Templin from the athletic world for
his first appearance on the dance flooi
this year. Patty and Specht chose
companions that constituted an attrac-
tive quartet. Mann and Crorapton
were escorted by imports Petite Ginn
Burns was effervescing with contagious
enthusiasm. Both Sam and Angie did
well for themselves in their diverse
paths.
Something besides, Time is static on
our campus. The freshmen, and up-
perclassmen as well wonder how Hayes,
Mack, Bingaman, Williams Neudoerf-
fer. West and fellow monopolists seem
to go on ad infinitum. However, their
plight i6 a happy one. and there is a
i certain contentment in security.
In general, the dance was a swinging
success It is now history in the an-
nals of cherished memory, but there
; will be more soon, and more cosmo-

the hungry reporter.

Motet Choir Trip
Next week, the Motet Choir begins its annual tour which
will take it to many centers in the eastern part of the state. Each
year, for the past five years, the Motet has taken an annual
extended trip which has served to bring the name of Susque-
hanna University before many people who otherwise would have
been unaware that such an institution existed. The publicity
which is given to the school through the medium of the Choir
has been invaluable in bringing studets to our campus to take
advantage of the numerous opportunities offered by Susque-
hanna.
However, publicity for the University is not the only end
achieved by the famed musical group. Wherever the organ-
ization gives a concert, those who attended the concert are left
with a feeling that they have had an enriching experience.
Prominent choral authorities have lauded the singing and all-
around deportment of our Motet Choir. Press comment has
been most favorable. In the past year, the Motet received na-
tional recognition with the winning of second place in the na-
tion-wide Choral Quest. Then too, the Choir is given a national
hook-up for its broadcasts over prominent radio networks.
It would be folly to think that the achievements of the
Motet Choir have been accomplished without dint of tedious
practice hours and hard work. The trials and work in the
development of a smooth singing unit are shared alike by di-
rector and student members. The rewards which have been
bestowed upon the group are just recompense for the time, en-
ergy and labor expended in the perfection of the rendition of
musical selections.
THE SUSQUEHANNA through the medium of this column
bids the Motet Choir its wishes for a profitable tour and con-
tinued success.

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
World Affairs and the Student
Announcement was recently made of the forthcoming Sel-
insgrove Rotary Club's second annual Institute of International
Understanding. Together with the announcement came a de-
sire that as many students as possible avail themselves of the
opportunity to listen to world notables who will speak on the
problems current in the world. We wish to elaborate some-
what upon the value of International Understanding and its
relation to college students.
As college students, all of us should exhibit an interest in
the affairs of the world outside our own little sphere. We should
remember that in a few short years we will become a part of
the world and will be forced to share the problems of a com-
plicated and sometimes muddled civilization. It will be expect-
ed, that we, as college graduates should some day be called upon
to exert some kind of leadership and do our little part in the
making of a more liveable world. If we are to do this, it is im-
perative that we are acquainted with the feelings of not only
our own countrymen but also the feelings, ideals, struggles,
and problems of all nation in the world. We cannot be ade-
quately familiar with other world peoples if we are content to
stay and live in our own little niche while we are at college.
Our textbook learning is best used when it is supplemented by
facts and information of current happenings in the world.
The various institutes of international understanding are
not presented as a panacea for the world's ill. Nor, are they in-
tended to be short cuts to a knowledge of the nations of the
world. However, it must be said that forums and institutes of
this sort are one of the many factors which go toward knowl-
edge of current events, world sentiment, and foreign trends.
THE SUSQUEHANNA urges student support of the worthy
movement which is being sponsored by the Rotary Club.

the "all" was the most important.

feeling. Of course I don't mean to im-
ply that you were sick on it.
Egotism is a great thing and we all
have a certain amount of it, but what
amazes me '.s the fact that some third
floor freshmen thinking themselves as
fair dancers band together under the
name of the Third Floor Jitterbugs.
They claim along with some upper

THE SATURDAY LETTER
With the start of the Second Semester, THE SUSQUE-
HANNA will accept reportorial candidates from any of the
four classes. The staff meets at 3 P. M. on Friday in Room
204 G. A.
Dear Friend:
One of my friends went to the hos-
pital the other day. I had the idea he
was going over to have his tonsils
| yanked out but much to my surprise
land his also) he was the victim of a
tonsillectomy. My Goodness! It all
goes to show that a fellow can't be too
careful when fooling around with ton-
sils and with language.
But. the thing I have in mind to
talk about does not concern my tonsil-
less friend but another friend named
! Jim. Jim is a freshman and he has
i just had an experience in connection
with a trigonometry test. The prof ex-
; traded Jim's knowledge so neatly and
with such speed and efficiency I think
j we might consider the act an opera-
i tion and just to be smart call it a
| knowledgectomy. The only sad part
of the whole thing was the fact that
Jim ended up with an F. And, again,
if one happened to be inclined to be
facetious, it might be suggested (by
such facetious one) that Jim was off
on a tangent because all of the sines
were wrong— but Jim doesn't feel quite
up to any funny stuff just now. He
has a notion that while he was jigging
the Susie Q and voting for Queens,
somebody sneaked up on him.
Jim Is 6 feet 4 and therefore a trifle
big to let loose with a good cry over
the tragedy. Jim is also blessed with
reasonable intelligence and he is not
wasting any time with swearing exer-
cises. I predict that he will go to work
• rather quietly) preparing for another
test. Next time < in all likelihood)
the outcome will be O.K. and another
! good American citizen will be started
! on the road to some president's cabi-
I net.
It is sad but true that there are
! several little duties for a college fresh-
jman to look after— such chores having
i to do with English, Mathematics, His-
I tory, etc., etc., etc. Just why such a
state of affairs exists no freshman has
ever been able to figure out, but, like
the weather, it is just that way. Some-
one, a long time ago, decided that cer-
tain parts of an education should be in
terms of sines and cosines and that
extra curricular activitities can not be
substituted and that seems to be that.
Perhaps arrangements might be
made (at a future date) to give each
entering freshman a monkey-business-
ectomy and thereby eliminate certain
disturbing factors.
As matters now stand, Jim says, ec-
tomy or no ectomy no trig teacher is
going to count 10 over his (Jim's)
prostrate form (again) and somehow
I seem to have considerable faith in
Jim's declaration.
Very truly,

Metro's Lion roars once again with
the release of the smash musical hit,
THE GREAT WALTZ. In this film
are starred lovely Luise Rainer, Fer-
nand Gravet, Miliza Korjus, Henry
Hull, and Lionel Atwill. THE GREAT
WALTZ deals with the life of the re-
nowned composer, Johann Strauss. In
this film we have accurately depicted
the life of the composer with glimpses
into the little-known scenes of his ca-
reer. Woven into the picture are sev-
eral of the better-known Straus
waltzes which are sure to captivate the
imagination of any audience. Luise
Rainer returns to the more serious rol-
es after her performances in her re-
cent pictures. It can be said that her
work in THE GREAT WALTZ is her
best since she came to Hollywood.
Fernand Gravet makes the most of his
big opportunity to star and turns in a
sterling performance. The work of
Henry Hull and Lionel Atwill is also
commendable. THE GREAT WALTZ
is a picture that shall be on your "must
see" list.

Judy Garland, sensational young
singing star, comes to the local theater
in her latest vehicle, LISTEN, DARL-
ING. In thus Metro production, Fred-
die Bartholomew is also included in
the cast with a very good part. The
picture deals with the antics of the two
youngsters who continualy get in each
other's hair. However, in the end the
situation is worked out to the satisfac-
tion of all concerned. Judy's singing is
the high spot of the film while the
Bartholomew lad retains his English
accent with very pleasing results. Bil-
lie Burke, Mary Astor, Walter Pidgeon.
and Alan Hale are other screenland
lumninaries included in the cast. If

George O'Brien returns to action
packed drama in R.K.O.'s latest west-
ern thriler. THE RENEGADE RANG-
ER. There is plenty of rough, tumble
action in this picture featuring O'Brien
as a Texas Ranger who is assigned to
bring in a young girl who has turned
benevolent outlaw after her ranch was
taken from her by a crooked tax coU
lector. When he meets the girl, he
learns that her followers are all men
who have been similarly swindled by
the tax collector. O'Brien's sympathy
is enlisted on their side. However, his
deputy forces him to arrest the girl,
but the tax collector kidnaps the girl
and plans to kill her. O'Brien and hil
pals arrive in the nick of time to save
the girl. The film features hard-riding
and plenty of outdoor action. George
O'Brien maintains his position as the
favorite of western fans while Rn,i
Hayworth as the girl proves to be a
very charming heroine. Ray Whitely.
Tim Holt, and William Royle are also
seen in this picture.

Joan Crawford, Robert Young, Mar-
garet Sullivan and Melvyn Douglas are
the stars of Metro's most recent dance
film. THE SHINING HOUR. Here, we
have the story of the scion of a weal-
thy and socially prominent family, Ro-
bert Young, in love with a dancer, Joan
Crawf6rd. As is to be expected, his
family objects to the match and make
various attempts to break-up the pair
It develops that Young begins to pay
his attentions to Margaret Sullivan
while Joan Crawford is seen with Mel-
vyn Douglas. Eventually, the difficult-
ies are ironed-out. The four stars turn
in excellent performances. THE SHIN-
ING HOUR is given a star-studded
cast combined with a high-grade story
This combination produces a hit which
you should not miss.

RANDOM SPORTS"
These Thursday evening basketball
games conducted by the Intramural
! Board have sure been of the story book
I type. Thrilling last minute rallies,
one-in-a-million luck shots from all
angles, thrilling spills, and referee
: baiting have been featured besides the
added attraction of close scores. Four
games have been played to date and
j not more than two points have separ-
1 ated the winners from the losers on
j any of the occasions. The class of '41
'still continues to lead the race having
I beaten the seniors and juniors and if
they can down a formidable sophomore
! team in their next game, they will
! have taken top honors in the first
cycle.
The snowbird dropped his feathers
on the state last Friday with such

fit was unable to make the trip from
[ Reading and as a result the Crusaders
! met a team from Sunbury's city lea-
; gue to the tune of a 71-20 victory.
! Every member of the varsity scored at
j least five points as the visitors were
! unable to cope with the fast break of
| the locals. Friday was the thirteenth,
! the junior varsity registered their thir-
teenth win. the score was tied at thir- and helpful discussion pointed out the
all at half-time, and the leading evils which accompany the use of m-
urday the surrounding hills were dot-

them. Paul Rainey was the only cas-
ulty. A badly twisted knee wil keep
him on the limp for a few days. Now
the Lake Placidites on the campus are
hoping for continued cold weather so
that the tennis courts may be flooded
for skating.

However, all due credit must be given
to the Altoona Gold Sox for journey-

Incidentally, there are two real bas-

On Thursday evening Bucknell pays us
a visit and on Saturday evening Juni-
ata College will drop in on us and help
renew a rivalry which was culminated
because of some predatory reason in
1932. Both games should be real thrill-
ers. Penn State beat Bucknell by al-
most the same score as they beat the
Staggmen while Hartwick defeated
Juniata by four points. Have you been

The Orange and Maroon basketecrs
had little difficulty in trouncing the
Dornsife quintet last Friday night in
the Alumni gym by 71-22. The sched-
uled tilt with Wyomissing Tech. was
postponed shortly before game time
when the visitors were unable to make
the trip because of the inclement
weather.
The CTusader five completely domi-
nated the playing throughout the en-
tire contest, apparently scoring at will.
Benny Gould paced the scorers with
twenty-four counters; other members
of the varsity accounted for at least
five points.
In the first game last Friday night
the Orange and Maroon courtsters nos-
ed out the Altoona Gold Sox in the
last minute of play by a foul to win, .
25-24. In the first period of the tilT ,
the locals jumped into the lead at the
outset of the contest, but the Altoona
five knotted the score at the end of the
period, 13-13. Again in the last half
the Junior Varsity held a Ave point
margin, only to lose it as the visitors
came from behind in a scoring rally to
tie the score. In the last minute of the
contest Stonesifer drew two free
throws he made good one throw to give i
the locals the winning margin.
Ed Sivick led the scoring attack for ;
the Pritchardites with six points. Don
Pries paced the Altoona Gold Sox
with seven points.

Coach Stagg's Orange and Maroon
courtmen face two stLT opponents this
week as they bring their first half of
the current basketball schedule to a
close. Tomorrow night the Crusaders
tangle with Bucknell in the Alumni
gym. The tilt with Bucknell tomorrow-
night is expected to draw a large crowd
of students from both institutions. In
two starts the Mu>.-,<rmen were unable
to cop a decision. In their encounter
with the Nittany Lions from Penn
State they lost 42-17. opposing State's
second team for the majority of the
tilt. Again in their opening home
game with American University they
suffered a humiliating defeat. The Bi-
sons wil probably line-up with Bill
Lane and Jack Riley, forward:-; Joe
Buzas and Bob Nolan, guards; and Joe
Diblin operating in the pivot position, i
On Saturday night the Crusaders j
meet a strong Juniata quintet on the
local floor. The Indian basketeers drop- ;
ped a close decision to Hartwick sev- j
eral weks ago, 35-31, and the fracas
Saturday night should provide plenty j
of thrills and excitement when the two I
quintets tangle. Their probable line-
up includes Capt. Dan Geiser. high
scoring forward, and Fickes, forwards;
George Weber at the center post; and i
Alf Lang and Bill Kibler. guards. A
win over the Juniatians will place the
Crusader courtmen on top of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania Collegiate League :
among the smaller colleges, which in- I
eludes Elizabethtown, Moravian, and
Juniata.
In their previous encounters the j
Staggmen have lost to Penn State, and :
have dropped close contests to Buck- j
! nell Junior College and Hartwick, The j
Crusaders have turned in wins over
I Dickinson and Elizabethtown. The ;
I probable line-up for the Crusaders in- |

Frosh Take Inter-
Class Court Lead
Last Thursda> evening two thrilling
games featured the second week of
Inter-class basketball on the hard-
woods of Alumni Gymnasium. The
freshmen took undisputed possession
of the league lead by edging out the
seniors 24-23, and in the second game
the juniors registered their first win
by defeating the sophs 24-22. The
standing of the teams to date:
Won Lost. Pet.
Freshmen 2 1.000
Juniors 1 1 500
Seniors 1 1 .500
Sophomores 2 .000
hi the first game of last week's
doubleheader. last year's champions,
which is the present senior class, the
upperclassmen got off to an early lead
as Rogers and Miller scored field goals
which enabled them to lead the frosh
9-6 at the close of the first period. In
the .second period Milo Mastovich cut
loose for the seniors and when the
halfway mark was reached the sen-
iors had a comfortable 17-9 lead.
Soon after the second half got un-
der way the class of '42 started to
make a scoring drive against their riv-
als. Hopkins and Rishel tallied goals in
rapid succession and at the close of
the third quarter the fighting frosh
were lacking only one point of tying
the seniors, the score being 19-18.
The final eight minutes of play saw
the score see-sawing back and forth
between the two quintets. With less
than a minute to go the seniors led
23-22. but Bill Shusta was folded while
in the act of shooting and was award-
ed two free throws, both of which he
made to put the class of '42 in the lead
by what proved to be the winning
margin. Martin Hopkins led the scor-
ing for the winners with eight mark-
ers while Junie Miller topped the sen-
iors with six points.
In the windup game of the evening
the juniors displayed much aggressive-
ness in topping a greatly improved
sophomore lineup, 24-22. The juniors
.started off with two quick field goals,
made by Kaltreider and added to these
six fouls to run up a 10-1 first period
lead. However, the sophs staged a
comeback in the second quarter and at
the halfway mark were trailing. 14-10.
Throughout the second half the
teams merely traded baskets as Harold
Saunders and Clair Kaltreider scored
baskets for the juniors and Joe Greco
and Karry Klepko tallied two each to
put the sophs in the running. With
seconds to play Joe Zavarich dumped a
long shot for the sophs but the score
«nded in the juniors' favor, 24-22.
Kaltreider and Saunders paced the
winners in scoring with twelve and
eight poir.ts respectively, while Klepko
paced the losers with eight markers.

S. A. I. Girls
Hold Rush Party
If weird sounds issue forth from the
conservatory, generally, what could
describe the nocturnal commotion of
Friday the thirteenth when S. A. I.
came through with a "bum's rush"?
At eight, the vagabonds ("con. frosh"
plus Albury and Fredericks) hoisted
themselves on the frieghter and started
the toilsome journey through a gal-
axy of spider webs, only to be greeted
by a "tap" from a veteran's cane. After
more or less "fruitless" rounds, the
hoboes convened and gave of their tal-
ents. By the time the entertainment
was over the old urge, hunger, came
along and in the pursuit of happiness,
the assembly marched to the sorority
rom to claim knapsacks literally bulg-
ing with food.

EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
O. D. S. Girls
Present Floor Show
On Monday evening in the social
rooms of Seibert Hall, Omega Delta
Sigma Sorority gave their rush party
in the form of a Night Club Party at
"Ye Old Heidelberg Inn." Anne Hill
was the mistress of ceremonies and su-
perintended the program which was as
follows :
Solo by "Perky" Finkbeiner. also an
imitation of Martha Ray.
Tap dance by "Ginny" Burns and
"Bing".
Skit. "The Killing of Dan McGrew,"
by Gladys Wentzel and Mary Appier.
Apache dance by Alverna Reese and
Betty Baltzer.
After the floor-show dancing and re-
freshments were enjoyed, and each
guest went homeward feeling gay in
the possession of a favor and an eve-
ning of fun.
In view of the fact that winter is
the time for sickness on the campus,
these health resolutions will be timely.
Life, after all, is for the purpose of liv-
ing. Glowing, full-blooded physical
well-being in itself is the goal of goals.
To those who have missed the mark,
because of foolish habits of omission
or commission, the first step in real
success for 1939 is suggested by at-
tempting to keep healthy. Miss Keiser.
R.N.. offers a few' resolutions and hopes
you will have the will power to keep
them:
• HI resolve to get sufficient exer-
cise daily.
(2)1 resolve to eat not too much nor
too little food.
(3)1 resolve to get my proper hours
of rest and sleep each night.
(4» I resolve in all other ways to live
in a healthy manner and one step
more:
(5) I resolve to safeguard the health
of my fellow students as I would my
own.
NOW THEN! HOW ABOUT IT?
LIFE AT ITS FULLEST OR JUST
LIFE?

Motet Will Present
Concert in Chapel
The Motet Choir, under the direction
of Professor Frederick C. Stevens, will
present its annual home concert on
Thursday evening, February 9, at
eight-fifteen o'clock in Seibert Chapel.
The concert, which is sponsored by the
local chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, na-
tional music sorority, features the fam-
ed Susquehanna Choral group in its
first official home appearance since the
Choir was awarded second place in the
national Choral Quest.
The program which will be presented
by the Motet Choir is the same as that
which was given on the recent tour of
the organization. The tour brought
new acclaim to the Choir and took the
group to several cities in the eastern
section of the state.
The home concert of the Motet Choir
annually attracts several hundred
people from the neighboring towns
and there is every indication that this
current home concert will be no ex-
ception. General admission charge of
twenty-five cents will be collected at
the door.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE QUARTET
SINGS IN SEIBERT CHAPEL
The Hampton Institute Quartet,
making Susquehanna one of the stop-
ping points on their tour of New Eng-
land and Middle Atlantic States, sang
in Seibert Chapel, Tuesday. February
7. at 8 p. m.
The quartet gave selections from
their repertoire of spirituals, work
songs, and plantation melodies. The
group is a good will organization whose
purpose is to arouse interest in their
institute.
The sixth public meeting of Pi Gam-
ma Mu, featuring Frank P. Douglas,
speaking on the subject of "Adventur-
ing for Gold," will not be heard on
Wednesday afternoon, February 15. In
its stead Pi Gamma Mu presents Sam-
uel W. Grathwell, eminent lecturer,
speaking on informational and educa-
tional subjects.
Few men on the lecture platform
have such a varied following as has
Samuel W. Grathwell. He specialized
not only in public speaking but in eco-
nomics, salesmanship, and travel. His
repeat lecture record, the surest test of
a speaker's ability, is a notable one.
He is in demand because of his back-
ground of struggle and achievement.
Born in a Cincinnati. Ohio, tenement,
he was left fatherless at seven, spent
six years in a children's home, left
school before he had completed the
fifth grade, re-entered at nineteen—
the sixth grade of a night school. At
thirty he was graduated from Leland
Stanford University. At Stanford he
was awarded highest forensic honors.
Previously he had won three State
Intercollegiate Oratorical contests in
Oregon and also the Interstate con-
test for the Pacific Coast. He has been
elected to four public speaking fra-
ternities, a distinctive record in itself.
The very day he was graduated he
embarked upon his career as a public
speaker— a political campaign in Cali-
fornia. Since then he has traveled ex-
tensively in Europe, Japan, Formosa,
Korea, and China, and spoken in prac-
tically every State and in nearly every
province of Canada, also in Alaska and
Japan. In addition he has given over
three hundred commencement ad-
dresses. Whether he delivers one of
his informative lectures such as "Ad-
! venturing in the Orient," or one of his
| educational lectures, such as "Getting
by Your Hoodoo," or "Tinkers and

Reporter Presents Vignettes of
Social Side of Motet Trip
Mr. Pierre Frederix, of Paris, France.
j addressed a large audience in Trinity
; Lutheran Church last Friday evening
| on the topic, "France in the World
i Crisis." Mr. Frederix. a well known
journalist and student of internation-
j al affairs, was the second of a series
j of lecturers on international affairs
\ being sponsored by the local Rotary
Club. The lecture next Friday even-
ing will be given by Prof. John A.
; Morrison, instructor at Chicago Uni-
versity, on the topic. "Developments in
Soviet Russia."
In his address here Friday evening,
Mr. Frederix gave the background of
the European situation from the
French point of view and later an-
swered questions in an open forum.
The speaker named three chief facts
which control the foreign policy of
France today:
(1) France is a continental country
with enemies at her very door. He
said, "You (in the United States) are
five thousand miles away from an
enemy; France is only 500 yards."
(2) The French population is forty
millions whereas Italy has forty mil-
lions and Germany eighty millions.
<3) France is a democracy under
which public opinion rules. He stated
concerning a Franco-English alliance
that France and England have disa-
greed upon policies of collective secur-
ity but that France, England, and pos -
sibly the United States have much in
I common.
Other major points in his lecture
were: his statement that Hitler's pres-
ent policy involves a march to the
East; that Hitler came to the fore in
Germany because he was helped by
the economic depression; that so long
as they maintain the- present colon -
j ial empires, France and England need
not fear domination by eighty million
! Germans; that no power, unaided, can
hope to win against the United States;
that France relies upon the United
States only commercially; that a ma-
jor war will quite likely be very long;
that the Fascist regime cannot last
more than ten years longer in Italy;
I and that the Nazi power in Germany
! may last longer. He expressed an ap-
parent optimism for the future declar-
I ing that no war in the future was
inevitable.
Two more lectures have been sched-
uled for the coming Friday evenings at
8:15 in Trinity Lutheran Church. This
week. February 10, a professor from
he University of Chicago, John A.
Morrison, will speak on "Developments
in Soviet Russia." Prof. Morrison is a
well known geographer and student of
Russian affairs. The last lecture, on
February 17, will be given by Dr. John
W. Creighton, of Hastings, Nebraska.
Dr. Creighton has been a missionary
to China for twenty years and is now
president of Hastings College. He will
speak on the topic, "Changing China."

Pres. Smith Addresses
Pre-Theolojrical Club
Friday evening the Pre-Theological
Club met under the leadership of John
Gensel, president. President G. Morris
Smith addressed the club on "The
Higher Learning." by Hutchins as it
applied to ministerial students.
The meeting was opened by the sing-
ing of the hymn, "Dear Lord and Fath-
er of Mankind," with John Knaul
playing the organ. Dr. A. William Ahl,
who for nearly ten years was the fac-
ulty advisor of the club, spoke on the
history of the club. He told the club
members to keep up the good and high
standards set up by Susquehanna stu-
dents in the seminaries. His closing
remark was an admonition to keep
close to Jesus Christ and the Church.
The hymn, "O Jesus Thou Art
Standing," was sung after which Paul
Orso read the scripture. Martin Hop-
kins lead the club in prayer.
Dr. Smith in his book review show-
ed how the school year was divided by
! the author, into three units of ten
j years, four years and the university.
| The integrating force in higher educa-
tion should be the Christian philoso-
i phy of life. The university should
j have three divisions or fields : the So-
jcial Sciences, the Natural Sciences,
and the field of Spiritual Literature.
These should be the ground work of a
minister's education. In order that a
t minister does not become too me-
| chanical he should master the subject
' matter of these three fields.

Staggmen Hold Lead
In Court Conference
Auxiliary Meets In
Monthly Session
The regular monthly meeting of the
Women's Auxiliary of Susquehanna
University was held February 3, 1939,
in Seibert Hall social parlors at two
o'clock.
The business part of the program
was in charge of Mrs. George Fisher,
at which time ten new members were
added to the roll.
The entertainment for the afternoon
consisted of a vocal solo by Miss Janet
Shockey. accompanied at the piano by
Miss Elsie Hochella, also a novelty
dance by Miss Miriam Miller. Follow-
ing this, Miss Raudenbush whistled
some excellent selections.
The table decorations were in red
and white, appropriate for Valentine's
Day. A large white cake in the middle
of the table with red candles on eith-
er side, and red paper hearts attached
to the table cloth appeared verv color-
ful.
As an added feature, each month of
the year was called at which time the
women whose birthdays were in those
months stood before a horoscope to
have their futures told. Each woman
there dropped into a box a bag of pen-
nies, one for each year of her age.
Ice cream, cake, and coffee were
served as refreshments. The meeting
was well attended.
Susquehanna University's Motet
Choir has returned from its mid-sem-
ester tour with added laurels of which
not the least is the distinction it re-
ceived in its broadcast on Saturday
afternoon, January 28. This broadcast
was carried by the entire Columbia
network from coast-to-coast, in Can-
ada as well, and was sent by short
wate to South America and Great
Britain. The Motet Choir is the first
college choir known ever to have such
an extensive hook-up.
This tour seemed to be one of broad-
casts, because at Reading a fifteen min-
ute program was given over WEEU
from the Southeast Junior High Audi-
torium which was wired to all the
schools in the Reading system, thus
reaching almost 18,000 students. Sev-
eral other broadcasts were made, in-
cluding the one given this last Sun-
day evening, Feb. 5, at six over WHP
at Harrisburg, after their concert at
the Forum. Requests have been receiv-
ed asking for additional broadcasts
serve to prove that the Choir has won
the public's acclaim.
According to Professor Stevens. Dr.
Ovrebo, and members of the Choir this
year's tour has been the most success-
ful one to date of the choir's five years
of existence. The recordings made last
year during the Columbia Choral Quest
and this year's records are being care-
fully compared in order to note the
superiority of this Choir. Press re-
ports uphold this belief, as is shown
bv the following excerpts:
Lancaster New Era: "The Choir,
which has been called the St. Olaf
choir of the east, fully justified its
reputation in its rendition of a pro-
gram of difficult acapella music. Beau-
tiful tone blending, accuracy of pitch,
and clear enunciation marked every
number. The fresh young voices of the
female section of the choir had an
excellent background in the stronger
male section which blended as one in
the soft, smooth, harmonious tones of
a great organ. The humming effects
were particularly lovely."
Reading Times: "The singers dis-
played splendid balance. They had an
even tonal quality throughout the pro-
gram and fine shading."
Mount Carmel Item: "Most impres-
sive, perhaps, was the choir's sensitive
response to the director's every cue.
The shading, the proper balance and
blending of the different voices gave
evidence not only of individual talent,
but of long hours of expert training."
Lancaster New Era: "Listeners who
have heard the St. Olaf Choir will dis-
cern a similarity of technique in the
two organizations. The influence of
Dr. F. Melius Christiansen is being
constantly felt in the advancement of
true, sincere, artistic, choral effect."
Write-ups have been given the Choir
in many places, including the Radio
Digest; letters have been sent telling
of the enjoyment of the broadi/ists
heard throughout the United States.
Since the last issue of THE SUS-
QUEHANNA, Susquehanna's basketball
, Crusaders assumed sole possession of
first place in the standing of the Penn-
' sylvania Conference Basketball League.
The Orange and Maroon squad with
two wins over Elizabethtown and one
victory over Juniata leads the Grey-
hounds of Moravian, who defeated
! Elizabethtown in their only league en-
counter at the time of this writing.
Third place is in the hands of the
Juniata Indians, who beside their loss
to Susquehanna have a victory over
Elizabethtown on their record. Hap-
less Elizabethtown is in the cellar by
virtue of its four defeats and no wins.
This week, Susquehanna is slated for
two crucial contests. The first finds
'. the Staggmen going to Bethlehem on
Wednesday to meet Moravian. On Sat-
urday, the locals travel to Huntingdon
for a return engagement with Juniata.

In the last two weeks Susquehanna

the winning ways by soundly trounc-
ing a highly-touted Bucknell team on
January 19, by a score of 58-39. This
win was followed by a 55-51 win over
Juniata on January 21. The Stagg-
men came back after semester examin-
ations and to prove that the tests did
not bother them, defeated Elizabeth-
town on February 1. at the losers'
OOUli bv a 55-31 count. The most re-

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
The Basketball Team
The record of Susquehanna's basketball team is one of
which we can be justly proud. Although the team started its
season unimpressively, it has developed in recent games to win
its last five games. This winning streak is one of the longest
enjoyed by any Susquehanna team in the past few years. It
is safe to say that the current basketball team has every oppor-
tunity to complete the season with the best record that has
been made at Susquehanna University in a decade. In addition
to this, there is also the very strong probability that Susque-
hanna will be the winner of the newly-formed Pennsylvania
Conference. Then too, if we examine the offensive record of
the basketball team, we find that in the last four games the
Susquehanna representatives have scored over fifty points in
each game. When we consider that the opposition has been 01 a | ft te much more interestmg and thrin- ! chance girls. Don't let it slip away.

One of the most stirring dramas de-
picting the lives of "kids" in the slums
of a large city is the recent Warner
Brothers film, ANGELS WITH DIRTY
FACES. James Cagney, Pat O'Brien,
Humphrey Bogart, and the "Crime
School" boys have the starring roles
in this film. The story deals with the
lives of two boyhood friends who had
turned opposite paths later in life.
The one, James Cagney, took his
chance at being outside the law, while
his "pal," Pat O'Brien, selected the
ministry. However, later in life their
paths cross when Cagney is slated to
die in the electric chair. Cagney tells
his former friend to see that the
''Crime School" boys go straigt.
O'Brien conducts a boys' club, where
he has athletic events for the boys
and tries to interest them in worth-
while activities. The conditions in the
slums are glaringly revealed and por-
trayed in a most startling manner.
Noteworthy are the performances
turned in by James Cagney, who
reaches new heights in this film and
Pat O'Brien, long-acclaimed as a
front-runner among Hollywoodites.
ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES gives
one a new insight into the lives of
slum children.

In a very short time you will be called upon to make your

stardom at the best in which she has
appeared to date. Lee Bowman plays
opposite to Miss Shirley in the juve-
nile lead. He becomes her man to re-
member. Also seen in the cast are
Dickie Moore., the child star who play-
ed the title role in MY BILL, and Ed-
ward Ellis, another Hollywood veteran
who continues to improve with age. A
MAN TO REMEMBER is a picture
which you should not forget.

STAND UP AND FIGHT is the fea-
ture at the local theater and promises
to "pack-'em-in" as it has done wher-
ever it has been shown. This Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer release stars Robert
Taylor, Wallace Beery, and Florence
Rice. We see Robert Taylor as the
surviving member of a proud South-
ern family who manages to unwisely
dispose of his inheritance. The result
is that he is compelled to go to work
in a type of work unbefitting a scion
of a once-wealthy family. In his work
he crosses Wallace Beery, who gives
him a sound thrashing. Taylor at-
tempts to win the affections of Miss
Rice but she spurns him. Unknown to
him, he is working for the stage coach
line, which Is owned by the girl. Even-
tually Taylor exposes Beery, who has
been running slaves in wagons belong-
ing to the company. However, the dif-
ficulties are ironed out to the satis-
faction of all concerned. Robert Tay-
lor gives a splendid performance and
once again proves that he can portray
"he-man" roles. Miss Rice comes
through in fine style In her flrst ma-
jor picture. Wallace Beery is excel-
lent as the likeable rogue. STAND UP
AND FIGHT should be on your "must
see" list. It is the picture of the year

This being the first time for several
weeks that this bit of news has ap-
peared, we have quite a load of hap-
penings to divulge to you. We are go-
ing to let you in on the "know" of a
few things. Take a glance at the rec-
ord of this year's Susquehanna bas-
ketball team. To date the team has
won seven games, as many wins as it
garnered during the entire season last
year, and at present the lads are rid-
ing on the top of a five game winning
streak. In rapid succession, Bucknell,
Juniata, Elizabethtown, (twice), and
Wagner have fallen before the fast-
stepping Staggmen. If the Crusaders !
had won the games by small margins I
we might say the "breaks" were with
us, but in everyone of the last five
games the locals have outscored their
opponents decisively. The Juniata
game was of the nip-and-tuck type
but all the rest were veritable walk-
aways. In fact, during the present
winning streak the locals have scored
267 points to their opponents' 189. This
is certainly playing basketball! Yes,
it's seven wins and four defeats with
seven contests to go!! COME ON CRU-
SADERS!!
Lest we forget, the inter-class league
has swung into action again. It be-
gins to look as though the class of '42
will have to fight for the first half
crown. The frosh had won every
game till last Thursday evening when
Susquehanna vs.
Juniata
The Crusader courtmen continued in
their winning stride on January 21 by
edging out Juniata on the local court.
Susquehanna University's "iron
men" of the "hard woods" gained their
fifth straight victory as they defeated
Wagner College on the local court last
Saturday night, 54-32.
Wasting no time in getting started,
Fd.G. Fl.G. Pts. the Orange and Maroon got off to a
flying start as "Arky" Ford, fast for-
ward for the Staggmen, scored on the
opening tip-off. Quintana opened the
scoring for the visitors with two field
8 goals to put Wagner out in front, 4-2.
5 Phil Templin, elongated forward for
the locals, scored on a rebound and
then from the side of the court with a
one-handed flip-shot to put the Cru- lthe"sophs""who" w^n"but"one"game as
saders in the lead, 6-4. This started a [ yearlings last season, gave their good
scoring spree for both teams and the frlends a decided trouncing. The Frosh

locals will be racing the hardwoods of
the Bethlehem Armory this evening in
an effort to subdue the Moravian
Greyhounds, and this Saturday even-
ing they journey to Huntingdon to
meet the Juniata Indians on their
cigar-box. Should the locals return
with victories, they will be the favored
team for the wearing of this year's
crown.
Many things happen to different lads
when they journey for atheltic events
to the grounds of other institutions.
It's odd they never come to light until
they are almost forgotten. For in-
stance, last spring the baseball team
stayed overnight in New York City.
Glenn Hauff, this year's captain and
ace moundsman, was very anxious to
find a certain address in the metropo-
lis. He boarded an elevated train and
told the conductor he wanted off at
the "Dry Cell." The conductor could
not understand Glenn's Dutch but big
Hauff finally came to his senses anu
disbarked at th« i"Battery"— We also
learned that Leon Krouse and Bob
Cornelius went to see the same picture
at the Paramount twice. Once in the
evening, and once in the morning.
Once by entering the side entrance
and once by entering the main en-
trance.
Before we leave you for the week,
let's drop in on one of those huddles
held by the Crusaders during a time-
out. Shall we call it "eavesdropping
on Stagg's Staggering Crusaders"??
Last year the team staggered and
.stumbled through their opponents, but
'this year the locals have taken to
j hurdling their opposition.
Capt. Bob Herr— "Come on fellas,
let's pass that agate around."
"Slats" McBride — "They certainly
take advantage of my good nature."
Phil Templin— nothing for the press.
Don Ford— "Let's outsmart 'em."
Don Wert — "We can roll over them
like tenpins."
Capt. Gould— "Come, on gang, we
can take them like Grant took Rich-
mond."

season, Bucknell Junior College de-
feated the Staggmen. Several weeks
later the Bucknell University Fresh-
man team soundly trounced their
Wilkes-Barre rivals of the Junior Col-
lege, but Dickinson Seminary defeated
the Bucknell Frosh by three points,
the same margin by which they defeat-
ed our yearlings last Saturday night.
However, we feel sure that if the var-
sity were to play the Junior College
lineup at this stage of the season, it
would be a walk-away for the locals.
Nevertheless, the junior varsity may
rightly strut the campus plenty of
pride (at least until their first scrim-
mage with the varsity).
The two games played by Stagg's
stalwarts this week may decide the
outcome of the newly formed Penn-
sylvania Collegiate Conference. The

CRUSADER COURTMEN;
STONESIFER TOPS J. V.'S
Susquehanna's Junior Varsity court-
sters received a 34-31 setback at the
hands of Dickinson Seminary last Sat-
urday night in the Alumni gym. The
Pritchardites sported a comfortable
lead in the first half, but the visitors
rallied during the second half to knot i
the count at the end of the third per-
iod. In the last period the local's de- '
fence fell before the spectacular shoot-
ing of the Seminary courtment; the j
J. V.'s threatened with a brief rally |
in the closing minutes 3f the exciting
tilt, but they were unable to pass the
visitors.
The Crusader J. V.'s scoring attack,
sparked by Stan Stonesifer and John
Bice, gave them a 19-12 lead over the
Seminary quintet. Early in the second
hall Miller, Dickinson Seminary guard,
sank five field goals to provide the
visitors with the winning margin. Mil-
ler led the scoring attack for the visi-
tors with seventeen points. Eld Sivick
paced the local scorer with nine count-
ers; Bice and Stonesifer followed with
eight points apieoe. .

S. U. Directors Oppose
Federal Social Security
Susquehanna University's Board of
Directors opposed the inclusion of in-
dependent colleges and universities in
the Federal Social Security Act at then-
regular mid-winter meeting on the
campus at Selinsgrove, Monday night.
Dr. William M. Rearick, of Mifflinburg.
president of the board, presided and
there were seventeen directors present.
Harry K. Schoch, Detroit, Michigan,
General Manager of the Aetna Insur-
ance Company and an alumnus of Sus-
quehanna University, was present for
his first meeting as a new member of
the board. It was pointed out that
non-profit colleges and universities are
at present exempt from the regulations
of the Social Security act. Many of
these colleges, including Susquehanna
University, have set up their own re-
tirement plans. Susquehanna Univer-
sity has its retirement plan with the
Teachers Insurance Annuity Association
of New York, founded by the Carnegie
Corporation and heavily endowed by
that organization.
President G. Morris Smith announced
a recent bequest of Mrs. Frank Matter,
of York, who willed Susquehanna Uni-
versity $5,000 as a scholarship fund and
also the residue of her estate, which
may bring the total bequest to $11,500.
The trustees noted with appreciation
the recent election of Dr. G. Morris
Smith as president of the Association
of College Presidents of Pennsylvania.
The trustees also noted and praised the
publication of the "Susquehanna Uni-
versity Studies," edited by Dr. Arthur
H. Wilson, head of the English depart-
ment. This magazine is made up of
original articles of scholarly thought
and research contributed for the most
part by Susquehanna's faculty mem-
bers.

The Nation-wide broadcast of the

concert on Saturday, January 28. from
Philadelphia was well-received by
people throughout the country. In a
communication to Coach Amos Alonzo
Stagg, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Amos A.
Stagg, ST., of Stockton, California,
fornia. expressed their enjoyment of
the broadcast. Concerning the pro-
gram of the Motet Choir. Mr. Stagg
says: "Yesterday we listened to the
broadcast of your Susquehanna Chorus.
You can tell Mr. Stevens and the choir
that it came over the air in great
shape. The parts were well balanced
and the timing was perfect. I sang on
the Yale Glee Club and the director
was everlastingly telling us to syn-
chronize in our timing."
Professor Stagg. now Athletic Direc-
tor at The College of the Pacific, was
a member of the Yale Glee Club, which
made a trip across the United States
in 1888.

Constitutions In Order
We have on the Susquehanna University campus, a large
number of so-called boards and councils for the regulation of
student activities. These regulating organizations function very
well when called upon to administer only routine problems.
However, when an emergency arises and the board or council
is asked to do something concerning the unusual occurrence
the question usually follows: "What can we do about it?" Then
some one happens to think of what the constitution of the par-
ticular board or council may say about the powers of the board
or council. A search is begun for the constitution. However,
in many cases, the search could continue indefinitely and no j
body of rules would be found for the simple reason that none I
exists. The situation which is presented above may seem in-
congruous and probably is, but the truth is that the situation
is in existence and comes up day after day in connection with
vital problems of the organizations on the campus. We could
very easily single out a few regulating and administering bodies
which are not conducted under a definite set of rules and which
have at one time or another, been called upon to face emer-
gencies which they were powerless to combat.
The student in a grammar school certainly knows that
any organization must have definite rules and regulations. We I
have been taught that the foundation of democracy is a written (
constitution. Is the fact that we are in college any reason to
relinquish one of the basic principles of democratic manage- j
ment and government? Here we should conduct all organiza- \
tions along lines that govern our nation's existence. We should
Continually have the idea of democracy in mind so that we will |
be accustomed to its workings when we are called upon to take j
part in the government of the country. Consequently, our own i
small college boards, councils, or whatever they are called
should be conducted as efficiently as possible so that slip-shod
management will be eliminated.
A written constitution, understandable by all, is an integ-
ral part of the conducting of our student activities in a demo-
cratic manner. It is this thought that prompts us to urge all
campus organizations and their regulating bodies to draw up
constitutions where they are not already in existence. THE
SUSQUEHANNA will gladly publish constitutions as they are
accepted so that all students concerned will be able to know
completely the laws of their organizations.
S
Keep the Campus Clean
The campus of Susquehanna University is one of the pret-
tiest which we have seen. It compares favorably with the cam-
pus of any college in the state, both in its inherent qualities
and its well-kept appearance. However, if we are to continue
to have a beautiful and orderly campus, it is the individual
responsibility of all of us to keep it that way. Recently, we
noticed that the ground on the athletic field side of Hassinger
Hall bears a very marked resemblance to a city dump. The turf
is littered with rubbish which was unwanted by students on
that side of the dormitory. Rather than being taken to the
waste receptacle, these articles were simply thrown out of the
window. The presence of the waste on the ground bordering
the dormitory shows little respect for the appearance of the
campus and assuredly reflects poorly on those students who
dispose of rubbish in such an inconsiderate way. Visitors to
the school receive a very poor impression of the students when
such thoughtless regard for the appearance of school property
is exhibited. Then too, the dump-like appearance of the rear
of the Hassinger Hall reflects badly upon the school authorities
who are in no way at fault. It is well for us to keep in mind
that the ground around Hassinger Hall is no dump or recep-
tacle for unwanted rubbish. We all should make it an indi-
vidual responsibility that the appearance of the campus re-
mains unblemished.

ciass last week when Dr. Dunkelberg-

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
Last week I stated that the first bid
for the dance was out. Well, this week
I wish to add that among the other
bids given out was one to Sivick.
Speaking of Sivick reminds me of
the night of the Juniata basketball
game. McCord's sister drove him back
to the game and waited in a candy
shoppe for him until after the game.
Well, naturally after the game seeing
as Eddie was present he was intro-
duced to her. He went so far as to
suggest that McCord take him home
with him to Altoona some week end.
Tell me Ed what happened to your
face when you were told she was mar-
ried and McCord was an uncle. My,
My, what complicating things these
marriages are. Better luck next time.
Don't tell me that that famous com-
bination of Snyder and Nelson and
Reichard is going to break up?
Heap is crying lately for his girl
friend Babs. Why don't he do some-
thing about it?
I noticed in one of the odd corners
of the paper last week was a space
devoted to famous sayings; well, I
would like to add one to the list.
Gracie— (silence) ?????
It must be getting bad when a per-
son travels all of eighty miles to watch
her hero play a game of basketball.
The tests have been over for weeks
but the aftermath lingers on. If you
w-onder what I mean ask Hutch and
Booth what I mean.
Speak up, Homer! Just who were
you with at the Airport last Sunday.
You don't have to tell if you don't
want to.
After counting the letters on a cer-
tain athlete's room wall, I find that
there is one missing. Where, oh, where,
has my letter gone Won't you come
back to me?
"Little fraternity pin, what would I
do without you?" asks George Spiggle.
Why George, you just wouldn't get a
bid to the dance, that's all. Congrats.
Bob Herr claims that he still has his
fraternity pin. Does anybody doubt
that it is in Harrisburg? I guess he
does still have it.
About right in here I started run-
ning out of ideas and so I took up
last week's paper to read over it and
perhaps refresh my memory. Well I
looked at column titled "Around With
Peg" and I was in a worse state than
ever before.
Speaking of the column titled "A
Round With Peg," reminds me to won-
der why anyone should continue to call
herself Peg Frosh when everybody
knows she isn't a freshman. Perhaps
it is just a tendency of water seeking
its common level, but really the fresh-
man class as a whole is a pretty good
class.
We have had a fair basketball season
this year. The boys were slow in get-
ting started but when they finally
started to roll, that combination of
Herr, McBride, Wert, Templin. and
Ford, really knocked the opposition
for a loop. But then the boys lost one
and then the combination mentioned
above was split. We lost to Juniata on
Saturday night, but where there is
life there is hope. Hope is a beautiful
thing.
From Me to You.

HUTCHINS, BOY VETERAN, DEPLORES
LACK OF READING BY STUDENTS
(Reprinted from The Ladies' Home
Journal)
By WILLIAM BURNETT BENTON
Vice-President, University of Chicago
One day in 1929 the University of
Chicago chose a new president. His
name was Robert Maynard Hutchins.
The country learned that he was thirty
years old. "The Boy President," he was
nicknamed, and the nickname stuck.
"Boy President" sounds like "boy
prodigy." Boy prodigies have a habit
of blowing up. Would Bob Hutchins
run true to form? "He won't last,"
some cynics said. "They never do."
. . . "A flash in the pan," said others.
And that old cliche: "The higher they
bounce, the harder they fall."
Today, nine years later, Hutchins is
a gray beard among university presi-
dents. He's the boy veteran. Of the
thirty-three institutions belonging to
the Association of American Universi-
ties, only eight have had their presi-
dents as long as Chicago. Still youth-
full in appearance, Bob Hutchins is
one of the elder statesmen of Ameri-
can education.
One reason he didn't blow up was
that he wasn't a prodigy inthe first
place. He didn't read Greek at six or
play the accordion at three. He was the
normal son of a normal college profes-
sor. "I've been in education since I was
eight years old." he once remarked;
"when my father became a university
professor and I started telling him
what to do."
After he became a professor himself,
he made a discovery. It wasn't original
with him, though he had to start
I teaching before he learned it. He dis-
covered that good books are an edu-
cation in themselves.
Now he's trying to persuade the rest
of the world to read good books. The
education of your boy or girl, he says,
should revolve around the great books
of all ages. In the course he teaches
at the university, his students read
and discuss fifty-seven classics — an-
cient and modern — from the Bible and
Homer to Jefferson and Freud. This
year Columbia University made a simi-
lar course compulsory for freshmen.
Hutchins say there are only a few
colleges in the country where six great
books, aside from Shakespeare, are read
, in their entirety by every student. The
classics are supposed to be too difficult.
But they were written for ordinary
■ people. During the Renaissance they
were read by children of grammar
school age.
Instead of providing "original con-
tact with original minds," our schools
feed their pupils predigested pills — a
paragraph of one man's writing, a
textbook story about another. The stu-
dents swallow the pills. They disgorge
them in class. Then they forget them.
"Books," says President Hutchins,
"don't read themselves." To be un-
derstood, they must be read and dis-
cussed. Grammar, rhetoric and logic —
the three arts of language— should be
taught through the works of the mas-
ters to boys and girls in their teens.
Mathematics, Hutchins calls "the best
exemplar of reason.'' This too should
be taught.

The sensational flying hit, THE
DAWN PATROL, comes to the Stanley
Theater with record of smashed at-
tendance marks. Starred in this War-
ner Brothers' hit are Errol Flynn, Da-
vid Niven. and Basil Rathbone. The
story deals with a patrol of pilots dur-
ing the World War who make their
raids and attacks upon the enemy at
dawn. The dawn patrol carries with it
the utmost of danger for the flyers,
The picture vividly portrays the haz-
ards which beset the aviators. Also
shown in the film are the manner in
which dawn patrol pilots spent their
time on leave. Errol Flynn continue
his daredevil exploits and produces
many thrills for the audience. Basi;
Rathbone forsakes villianous parts and
does very well. Rathbone continues his
fine work which began in IF I WERE
KING. THE DAWN PATROL pic-
tures the terror which is all a part of
war. An interesting part of the film
portrays the manner in which green
flyers are initiated into the horrors
which accompany the members of the
dawn patrol. For a hundred minutes
of thrills, see THE DAWN PATROL.

THE STORM, Universale film of tbc
! radio operators on ships is brout-'
I the screen starring Charles Bickford
Preston Foster, Tom Brown, B;
MacLane. and Nan Grey. Charles
Bickford is the ace radio operator who
! is continually being involved in fights
, and other forms of trouble. He trys
to persuade his brother. Tom Brow,.
not to enter radio service but the
! younger man does so. Barton MacLane
portrays the unscrupulous ship cap-
tain who is the enemy of Bickford.
The hatred begins when MacLane is
indirectly the cause of the death of
Preston Foster, Bick ford's friend and
fellow operator. A dramatic moment
is reached when an operation is per-
formed on Tom Brown by Nan Grey
ship nurse, during a storm. Miss Grey
receives her instructions during the
operation by radio. The lives of radio
men are accurately shown in THE
STORM. Bickfords turns in a master-
! piece of dramatic portrayal. The re-
| mainder of the all-star cast does very
well. THE STORM is a picture which
should be on your "must see" list.

Bruce and Ls habitually involving her-

for the conspirators who find Haley no:

dians into the lead again as he sank
two goals under the basket. Juniata
took a lead which they never relin-
quished for the rest of the game.
The second quarter saw the Orange
and Maroon still trailing and trying
desperately to get into the lead but
their usually fine passing attack and
fast break was hampered by the small
court. At half time Juniata led, 26-17.
As the second half got under way
an inspired Susquehanna team began
to find its stride. Two field goals and
a foul put the locals in the running
and the two teams battled point for

put them in second place.

language and reason will help him

next.
"But," say some of Hutchins' critics,
"will it help him make more money."
Probably it will, he replies. But
money is not what wc need most. What
the world needs is understanding. Our
children must be taught to think, to
think clearly, and to think for them-
selves. That will equip them not only
to face the hazards of a changing
world, but to make money when there's
money to be made.
Tire problems of ancient Egypt are
the problems of today— wars and de-
pressions and tyranny. It doesn't do
much good to have a silk shirt in 1929
and no shirt in 1932. A million dollars
in the bank isn't worth a dime if the
bank is closed or if the million Ls taken
over by the Man on Horseback. In

Business Club Hears
Campbell Speak On
Sales Psychology
The regular monthly meeting of the
Business Society was held in Steele
Science Hall on Tuesday evening, Feb.
14, at 6:45. President Robert Herr
presided.
The Business Society presented as
guest speaker Mr. Philip C. Campbell,
insurance salesman of Danville, speak-
ing on the subject of "The Psychology
of Salesmanship." One of his more
salient points was the matter of al-
ways letting the prospective buyer do
the talking. If he is of the quiet type
type, the salesman should ask ques-
tions of such a nature so that an an-
swer is a prime necessity. Mr. Camp-
bell emphasized the use of tactics simi-
lar to the principles laid down by Dale
Carnegie, in other words speak about
the other person's abilities and sell
yourself simultaneously. If a teacher
in high school or college fails more
than fifty per cent of the class the re-
spective teacher is not selling himself
or his subject to his students.
Mr. Campbell is quite well known
throughout this section of the state,
having 495 consecutive weeks of policy
production for the Philadelphia Life
Insurance Company. For the past two
years he has won free trips to Ber-
muda offered by that company to their
best salesmen. Mr. Campbell is also
well known on the campus because he
is Province Counsellor of the Middle
Atlantic Region of Beta Kappa Na-
tional Fraternity.
Haddon Speaks on
Field of Journalism
"The relation of the Christian col-
lege and the newspaper is important to
produce the straight thinking that is
necessary in a democracy," was the
concluding thought expressed by Harry
Haddon, editor of the "Sunbury Daily
Item." in his address, February 16, in
Seibert Chapel, on the profession of
journalism.
Mr. Haddon outlined the history of
newspapers from the Peking Journal
of 1350 to the New York tabloid which
holds the record for newspaper circu-
lation.
In refuting the old theory that news-
papermen are born and not made, he

On Wednesday afternoon in Seibert

Pi Gamma Mu at their sixth public
meeting on the subject, "Getting By

slant on this problem of hoodoos.
Mr. Grathwell first told about the I
common everyday superstitions such as
walking under a ladder, and he told
how misfortune struck when a person
was too engrossed in avoiding the un- 1
lucky object to perceive a present
danger. Thus he showed us that it is

Dr. Smith Heads Pa.
College Presidents
At the recent annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania College Presidents' Asso-
ciation, Dr. G. Morris Smith, president
of Susquehanna University was elected
the president of that body for the com-
ing year. The meeting was held in
Harriaburg's Penn Harris Hotel with
the presidents of the fifty-four insti-
tutions represented in the organiaztion
in attendance. Dr. Smith succeeds
William Mather Lewis of Lafayette
College who was the president of the
organization last year.
Dr. Smith came to Susquehanna
University in 1928 and during his ten-
ure the University's educational pres-
tige has been greatly enhanced. He re-
ceived nation-wide prominence last
year because of his speech concerning
the subsidization of athletics by educa-
tional institutions. At present, the
newly elected president is leading the
Association's fight to defeat a bill be-
fore Congress which would include
faculty members of denominational
schools under the Federal Social Se-
curity Act. Among the reasons for the
College Presidents' opposition is the
fact that Church-controlled institu-
tions are non-profit organizations; the
Carnegie Fund sets up its own pension
system for college faculty members; it
is believed that the inclusion of col-
leges and universitie under the Social
Security Act would eventually lead to
a taxing of the property of denomina-
tional schools.
Previous to his election to the presi-
dency. Dr Smith held the office of
vice-president of College Presidents'
Association. He was also a member of
several important functional commit-
tees of the organization.

years.
The practicality of journalistic train-
ing, Mr. Haddon emphasized by stat-
ing that it is good training for most
other professions, including the minis-
try. On the other hand he said, "A
good all-around newspaperman must
hav a smattering of almost every-
thing."
Opportunity in newspaper work is no
longer restricted since the advent of
specialization, with photographers, war
reporters, columnists, and cartoonists
being the most common specialists, was
the encouragement offered to the neo-
ohyte clubs in the audience. On the
gloomier side of the story was Mr.
Haddon's statement that the radio is
making a bid for the newspaper's news
and also for its advertising dollar.
Listing some of the requirements of
a good newspaperman, Mr. Haddon in-
cluded: inherent honesty, idealism, a
keen sense of ethics, a desire to serve
the public, accuracy, accuracy, accur-
acy, a realization that the newspaper
is a servant of the public, and common
sense.

the attitude of mind in which we re>
gard the very real problems of getting
a job and doing our best. We are de-
feated in our purpose if we start out
with the idea that Schopenhauer had.
"It were better if I had never been
born," because then we will never do
our best because what is the use if one
rhould never have been born. We must
do away with our pessimistic view-
point and acquire the attitude of one
who knows what he is capable of do-
ing and then goes ahead and does the
very best he can.
The expression. "I will do my best,"
is not always satisfactory, because it
depends greatly upon the knowledge
of the task, and the tools available
whether or not the best is going to be
any good. When a job has to be done,
the person to be relied upon is the
person, generally, who has a lot to
do, rather than the person with much
leisure time.
A better prayer or version of the old
familiar one "Now I lay me down to
sleep," is the following:
"Now I get me up to work,
I pray the Lord I do not shirk.
If I should die before the night.
I pray the Lord, my work's all right."

for the first semester of the school 1 spent twenty years in China, mainly
year 1938 39. Quality points average in educational work under the Pres-
byterian Foreign Missionary Society,
and thus played an important part in
the education of the new leadership in
China. He has had the background and
the competency to present from experi-
ence the movement of Far Eastern
; events. Dealing with his subject in a
humorous and very effective manner,
the speaker showed that he understood
; the conditions in China today and
pointed out the relations existing be-
tween China. Japan, and Russia.
After being introduced by Dr. Wil-
liam A. Russ. Dr. Creighton immedi-
ately began to paint a picture of the
vast, old, and slowly changing giant
called China. He pointed out that
China has had a continuous civilization
for forty centuries; one of the main
unifiers of this civilization he said
has been the universal written lan-
guage. He listed several permanent
elements in Chinese culture:
The women of China have a greater
place in its political life than in any
other nation of the world.
Marriage is a principle of exogamy.
China prides herself on having a mixed
race and is the most tolerant nation in
the world about this issue.
China has the philosophy that men
are — by nature good, by birth good;
therefore they are equal. Her phil-
osophy is practical and involves five
relations— ruler to subtect, father to
son. son to father, older brother to
younger brother, and friend to friend.
Chinese are free from humiliation.
They have adopted a long range
view.
The Chinese religion changes with
the needs of the individual. If he is
good he's a Confucianist and if sick a
Buddhist.
China's revolutions have not been
through conquests but through absorp-
tion. The characteristics for Chinese
peace are patience, tranquility, and the
tolerance for all men."
After dealing with China, Dr.
I Creighton treated briefly the conditions
in the neighboring coutries. Japan, he
pointed out is about the size of Mon-
tana and has a population of about
i seventy-five million. In Japan the
problem is difficult, fear and hunger
are the two great motive forces of Jap-
an. Japanese feudalism still exists as
it was centuries ago. He emphasized
the Japanese religion which teaches
that Japanese are a divine people; he
said "Japanese agression is a crusade
and the people are fighting with re-
ligious fervor. They intend to extend
their religion to China, to India, to
Europe, and then possibly to America,
This religious fervor is capitalized in

The Honor System
It is our observation that the modern trend among most
institutions of higher learning is to include in the administrative
set-up of the school provisions for placing the students of the
school upon an honor basis. By this we mean that a school-
wide honor system is used to govern the student body in the
classroom and in other academic activities. The schools which
have been using the honor code for any length of time have all
reported success with the system. Under the code, all studnts
are placed upon their honor to conduct themselves as ladies and
gentlemen in all of their scholastic dealings. Naturally, the
code would be especially applicable to the classroom and would
particularly deal with examinations and tests. Under the honor
system, there should be no need for policing and proctoring of
examinations. Students would be honor bound, neither to give
nor take any information during the course of the examination.
If the system is carried out to its fullest extent, offenders should
be frowned upon not only by faculty and administrative officials
but also by fellow students.
We believe that Susquehanna University continuing its up-
ward trend should make some arrangement for a future instal-
lation of the honor system. However, we do not believe that the
change should be made at the spur of the moment nor in one
magnificent sweep of authority. It is our thought that a grad-
ual movement of education toward an efficient honor system
should be instituted. Only by education of the student body to
the new order can it be hoped that a flaw-proof method will
result. The method of education may be one of many. The
honor system should be the topic for student speakers in the
different campus societies. Organizations such as the Student
Christian Association could do much toward getting the student
body to such a point where the honor system would be practic-
able. Then too, literature should be distributed to students
which would fully and understandably explain the proposed
system. The process of enlightenment should be universal
throughout the school. Let it not be thought that when we ad-
vocate a building-up to the honor system for students of Sus-
quehanna, we imply that our students are different from stu-
dents in other schools. On the contrary, it is our belief that
persons on our campus are as able to to be placed on an honor
basis as the students on any other campus. However, it has been
shown that where an honor system is of the highest type, it was
preceded by a period of education of the student body.
We see no reason why it is unwise to prepare for the honor
system at Susquehanna University. In addition to being a
factor for right dealings among the students while they are in
school, the honor system which regulates college lives will have
a profound influence upon those lives when college is left behind
later in life. The honor system will do much in the development
of future citizens.
THE SUSQUEHANNA advocates an honor system for Sus-
quehanna University.
S
There's Room on the Honor Roll
The honor roll has just been released by the Dean of the
University. THE SUSQUEHANNA congratulates those students
who have the distinction of comprising the honor roll for the
first semester. Their place upon the list is a tribute to their
study and diligence. For them, it is an achievement which has
been awarded to approximately one-sixth of the total student
body. To the honor roll students, we advise that they do not re-
lax and rest upon their laurels. To the remainder of the students
of Susquehanna, we point out that there is room for many more
among the select number. In fact the administration and fac-
ulty have every right to expect that the honor roll can be con-
siderably increased. Now is the time for all of us who missed
the Dean's list to make our preparations for having our names
included when the next list is released. There is only one key to
receiving the necessary grades and that is the key of study and
work. If these essentials are properly employed, the honor list
for the second semester should include a great number of the
students of the University. Citation by the Dean for having high
marks, is an achievement for which every student should strive.
'You know, a bid in time saves nine."
Experience speaking, I decide, and go
oack to my original thoughts.
Just then, a brain storm enters my
nead— alas, my best friend had the
same idea, one half hour earlier.
Then, too, it never fails— the boys
who "Planned to go home for the
weekend" get six bids apiece, while the
willing stag catches no miss. Maybe
that wasn't a bad idea after all— the
sprained ankle alibi. But then— Well,

To start off with I think that Coach

Bob to put on another exhibition such
as he did on Saturday night.

Well, well, and well. Why did Reich -

his vow would not last.
We hear that Pat has a new frat-

truth of the statement but I hear that
George may be able to tell us if it is
true or not. A date must be a won-

Since Lawrence and Heap are room-

friendly and familiar.
We like to see freshmen get out and
get around and go to the dances. Con-
gratulations, Jerry, on getting your

They tell me, Hutch, that you al-
most had a date with Norm. Boothie,
I think you ought to get busy and pro-

taken you a long time to get together
but now I know of no more ideal

It seems to be that I read in an
old "Susquehanna," where way back
in George's freshman year that he
had trouble with his high school rings.
It seems to me that a man in busi-

day when he has business. Ayres

j Of Susquehanna's cheering troup.
J The S. U. boys tried hard to win;
1 The Bucknell laddies ne'er gave in;
j The game was close — the crowd was
tense;
j The A. A. girls were in suspense.
The final quarter told the tale.
The Bisons had it "in the pail".
The final ball across the floor
Gave us the hint to seek the door.
The trip back home was 'rupted by
A stop for food at the Inn close by.
Thus feeling re-composed, by form
We bent our way to Seibert Dorm
The game was swell— the trip was fun
(Overheard on the bus: "I'm glad I've
come")
"More of these trips?" We hope we
may!
! So thanks to Nory and the W. A. A.

Another musical success is brought
to the screen by Twentieth Century.
Fox with its release of SWEET-
HEARTS. Jeannette Mac Donald and
Nelson Eddy again are given the star-
ring roles in this magnificent drama-
tization of music and acting. All Mac
Donald and Eddy films feature the
singing of these stars. In this film, the
pair reach new heights in acting and
in singing. Their songs are worked in-
to the story in masterful fashion which
greatly enhances the picture. The
story concerns two lovers who through
some means are temporarily estranged
and go separate ways. However, as the
plot is unfolded so the lovers settle
their differences and come to-gether
again. Wherever SWEETHEARTS has
played, it has come through with flying
colors. It has proved to be a smash hit.
In the work of both Jeannette Mac
Donald and Nelson Eddy, we have the
finest which Hollywood has seen in a
long time. To see Mac Donald and Ed-
dy at their best, see SWEETHEARTS.

George O'Brien, the ace western hero
and cowboy of the bulging biceps, is
featured in the latest western thriller
to be released by R.K.O. pictures.
LAWLESS VALLEY. In this film, we
have O'Brien leading the fight against
a gang of bad men who have been ter-
rorizing the country. He wipes them
out in the approved western fashion by
overcoming all of their traps and beat-
ing them at their own game. In the
cast and the object of O'Brien's affec-
tions is Kay Sutton who is remarkably
well-cast as the heroine of LAWLESS
VALLEY. When, George routs the vil-
lians, he wins the fight for Miss Sut-
ton. Fred Kohler, another western
favorite, also appears in LAWLESS
VALLEY. The acting by the main
characters makes LAWLESS VALLEY
one of the best westerns to be released
in the past year.

The story of a young boy's part in
crime and of his being caught in the
net of circumstance is brought to the
screen by Monogram with its hit,
GANGSTER'S BOY. Jackie Cooper of
WHITE BANNERS fame has the title
role with Lucy Gilman and Robert
Warwick in supporting parts. Young
Jackie remarkably portrays the life of
a boy who is in the company of a no-
torious mobster. The boy is at first
of little importance in the plans of the
racketeer but later he is instrumental
in the nefarious plans of the gangster.
Lucy Gilman is also implicated in the
plans of Robert Warwick who is the
gangster. Warwick's portrayal of his
part is masterful. He presents the typ-
ical criminal who manages to escape
the law but is eventually trapped. The
performances of the characters is of a
high -type comparable by the perform-
ances of the characters is of a high-

CRUSADER PASSERS DOWN MORAVIAN,

Susquehanna, Moravian, and Juniata Divide First
Place in Pennsylvania Conference, Crusaders
Defeat Scranton Keystone, 61-39
Coach Stagg's Orange and Maroon
courtsters returned to their winning
stride last week to register two vic-
tories. Last Tuesday night the Cru-
saders scored an easy win over Scran-
ton-Keystone and repeated against the
Moravian Greyhounds on Saturday
night. In upsetting the Greyhounds
the Crusaders revenged an earlier de-
feat at the hands of Moravian on their I
court. Barring any possible upsets by I
Elizabethtown over Juniata or Morav- j
ian. the Central Pennsylvania Basket- |
ball Conference will result in a three j
way tie.
Coach Stagg's Orange and Maroon ;
passers chalked up another win in the
current court season against Scranton-
Keystone in the Alumni Gym last
Tuesday night, February 14, with a
61-39 decision. The Crusaders had
little trouble in downing the Junior
College quintet as they set a fast pace
early in the contest to virtually sew
up the tussle early in the first period.
After piling up a 17-5 lead over the
visitors the Staggmen increased their
lead in the third period, making the
score 42-27. Bob Herr was high scorer
for the Staggmen with fifteen points;
Phil Templin and Clair Kaltreider fol- 1
lowed with ten and nine points re-
spectively. For the visitors Williams

Last Saturday evening, the Susque-

avenged an earlier defeat by defeating
the Moravian College courtmen, 46-29.
The locals lost little time in getting
started as Harry McBride and Bob
Herr scored field goals from the foul
circles. Leonard, center for the visitors,
opened the Greyhounds' scoring with a
two pointer. Ford dropped in a goal
from the side of the court but Weiss
countered for the visitors with a long
shot. Kaltreider tallied a long set shot
and McBride converted a charity throw
as the first period ended with the
Staggmen out in front, 9-4.
Blasco opened the second quarter
with a one-handed toss from the side
of the floor and later tallied two free
throws. This ended the scoring of the
visitors for the first half. With every
member of the S. U. team taking part
in the scoring spree that followed, the
score stood 22-8 at half-time.
"Arky" Ford opened the second half
with two beautiful field goals from the
side of the floor and McBride followed
with a set shot. Brandafi connected
with his only goal of the game and
Weiss followed with two fouls for the
visitors. Both teams traded baskets

Bucknell's Shooting
OvercomesCrusaders
Victims of a large floor and accurate
shooting, Susquehanna's basketball
Crusaders went down to defeat at the
hands of Bucknell last Monday night
in the Lewisburg school's new gym-
nasium. The final score was 42-37.
The game started with both teams
playing strictly defensively until Bob
Herr, the Orange and Maroon center
scored on a .three-point play to give
the visitors the opening advantage.
Diblin scored first for Bucknell and at
the end of the first quarter the score
gave Susquehanna a 5-4 lead. In the
second period, the visitors maintained
the lead until Buzas. substitute for
Diblin scored with about a minute to
play. However, Co-Captain "Bennie"
Gould countered for Susquehanna
right before the half-time whistle to
put the Staggmen at the long end of
a 13-12 halftime score.
However, after Kaltrieder and Ford
scored a field goal and foul respective-
ly to start the third quarter, the Or-
ange and Blue set about cutting down
the visitors lead. Goals by Diblin,
Nolan, Buzas and Kiick served to run
the count to 29-25 at the quarter in
Bucknell's favor. It was only through
scoring by Herr and Kaltreider that
Susquehanna was able to stay within
reach of the sharp-shooting Bisons.
At one point in the final quarter, the
home team had a nine point lead
mainly through the efforts of Nolan
who plagued the Crusaders all tnrough
the game. Goals by Templin right be-
fore the end of the game cut down the
advantage enjoyed by the Mussermen.
For the victors, Nolan and Joe Dib-
lin were the leading scorers with six-
teen and twelve points respectively.
Herr, Templin, and Kaltreider were
the Susquehanna leaders, Herr, in par-
ticular giving a magnificent exhibition
of foul shooting by sinking ten out of
eleven free throws.
The contest was a return engage-
ment between the two teams, Susque-
hanna having been victorious in the
first contest at Selinsgrove.

The Susquehanna University basket-
ball team jumped back into the win-
ning column again last week by
soundly trouncing Seranton-Keystone
and Moravian College. The second
game with Moravian was one of the
most important of the current sched-
ule. Up until Saturday evening the
Greyhounds had undisputed posses-
sion of first place in the newly form-
ed Pennsylvania Conference but after
the locals handed them a one sided
defeat, there is likely to result a three
way tie for first honors in the league.
Should Moravian defeat Elizabethtown,
which is altogether likely, the top po-
sition will be shared by Susquehanna,
Juniata, and Moravian. At any rate,
we may now proclaim the Staggmen
as champions, even though they are
not undisputed champions.
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
Don Wert, senior guard on the Cru-
sader quintet, played his first "foulless"
college game against Moravian last
Saturday evening. Yes, for the first
time in his four year varsity career,
Wert played an entire game without
committing a foul.
Harry "Slats" McBride has had a
four-year college and a four-year high
school career in basketball, and not un-
til the Moravian game did any mem-
ber of his family ever see him play.
To say the least, they, his father and
mother, witnessed Harry play a great
game.
Don Ford, sophomore forward for
the Staggmen, has played the cage
game since his fourth year in grade
school; and to date not one member
of his immediate family has ever seen
him so much as shoot the ball.
FAMOUS COMEBACKS:
Clair "Bucky" Kaltreider to the
Crusader varsity basketball team. This
junior has been one of Coach Stagg's
mainstays for the past two seasons
and his close guarding is credited with
being one of the reasons for the local's
great defensive play in the two games
last week.
THANKS:
Is extended from the members of
the varsity basketball team to Miss
Engle and Miss Shure for the very en-
joyable evening and delicious refresh-
ments served after the Moravian game.
This is the first spontaneous gesture
of the sort extended to the members
of the team for a number of years.
The inter-class league has changed
leaders so many times this season that
it is really very hard to tell which of
the teams will come out on top. At
present it seems that the juniors and
sophomores have the inside track for
the title. The juniors have had trouble
in getting their entire team on the
floor for the past two games, while the
sophomores have been improving every
game. Harry Klepko and Joe Zavarich
are two excellent forwards, Joe Cam-
pano seems to improve every game at
his center position, and Howie Reese
and Bob Cornelius are very versatile
guards. Yes. it looks like a banner
year for the class of '41.

Crusaders to Meet
Wyomissing In Final
Susquehanna's Orange and Maroon
courtmen will conclude their current
basketball season on Friday night,
when they tangle with Wyomissing
Poly Tech in the Alumni Gym. Fri-
day night's scuffle was scheduled to be
played last month but was called ofT
at that time because of inclement
weather.
Wyomissing has not been defeated
this year on the court and they are
expected to give the Crusaders plenty
of trouble in the approaching contest.
Last week Wyomissing defeated Mo-
ravian by a wide margin, and if com-
parative scores mean anything on the
basketball court the Staggmen will
have to be in form to edge out a vic-
tory.
On Friday night four seniors will see
their last action in collegiate basket-
ball and as a result they will be exert-
ing every effort to bring the season to
a successful close. The seniors include
Co-Captains Bennie Gould and Bob
Herr, Harry McBride. and Don Wert.
Coach Stagg's probable line-up lists
Don Ford and Phil Templin as for-
wards. Bob Herr at the center post,
land Clair Kaltreider and Don Wert
in the back court.

move the Wyomissing meet up to May
12 from May 27 and then to find a dif-
ferent spot for the class encounter.
Among the list of candidates are five
letter-men from last year's team which
was victorious in one meet. The mono-
gram winners are: Juniors, Captain
Bill Pritchard. sterling sprint and high
jump man who accounted for the ma-
jor portion of the team's points last
season, Alfred Leam. pole vaulter who
shows much promise; Burton Richard.
Javelin-thrower will be after his third
track letter, Earl Deardorf and Harry
Thatcher, sophomores, flashed excel-
lent form last year and are looked
upon as likely point-getters in the
coming meets.
At present there is little known about
the other men on the squad with the
exception of: Ken Kinney, Glenn
Musser, Bill Troutman, Bob Upde-
grove. and Don Wert who are hold-
overs from previous years. However,
it is expected that these boys will
round into form during the impending
campaign. The remaining candidates
are freshmen with the exception of
Dave Carter and John Aucker who
did not compete last year. The Fresh-
men are: Harry Fuhrman, Blair Hea-
ton, Martin Hopkins, Gerald Leib,
Kenneth Lyons. Robert MacQuestion,
Rupert Miller. Monroe Myers, Stanley
Stonesifer. Fred Warner, Phil Templin.
Arthur Wilson ,and Ed Smith. A ray
of hope for Crusader track fans is the
fact that Coach Stagg's call for can-
didates was given a greater response
than it has in the last few years.

speaker said, "Japan is the most fascist
nation in the world today."
Passing on to Russia, he cited two
characteristics of it.
1. Rursia has always been a de-
fensive nation.
2. Russia needs open ports.
Russia needs a port on her eastern
coast; Japan is afraid of what Russia
may do. This was pointed out as be-
ing the chief reason for Japan's in-
vasion of China.
Dr. Creighton spoke at length about
the Sino-Japanese struggle. He said,
"I think that if Japan wins, she will
lose because Japan has oversold any
riches she may hope to get from a con-
quered China. She cannot finance the
promises that she has made to her
people and will meet political, eco-
nomic, and social chaos. I think that
if China wins, she will lose also be-
cause communism will very likely grip
China. But there is still more danger
in stalemating. This would ruin both
China and Japan and would disturb
the entire eastern segment."
During the questioning period Dr.
Creighton remarked, "Japan is likely
to collapse at any minute. I believe
that a boycott on Japanese silk would
stop the war in about two months."
The Rotary Club of Selinsgrove has
sponsored these Institutes of Interna-
tional Understanding for the past sev-
eral years and well deserves praise for

"A ROUND WITH PEG"
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1939
Congratulations
Students of Susquehanna University can justly be proud
Of the record of the basketball team which concluded its sched-
ule last Friday evening. The team won ten games as against
seven defeats. An added achievement gained by the Susque-
hanna players is the fact that they tied for the championship
of the newly-formed Pennsylvania Conference. This in itself is
sufficient justification for an exhibition of pride when it is con-
sidered that this year was the first in several years that Susque-
hanna University had an entrant in any league or conference.
In reviewing the past basketball season, we find that the
local team gradually improved after making a very unpromising
start. Performance in the first few games gave little hope for
Susquehanna supporters. It was at this time that the team
showed its true greatness when it did not become discouraged
by the futility of its initial efforts but strove for improvement.
As the season progressed, numerous improvements could be
noticed until it became evident that the current Susquehanna
team was on its way to compiling one of the best basketball I
records in the history of the sport at Susquehanna. The team- !
work displayed was certainly the best which we have seen ex-
hibited by any of our teams. Coupled with the spirit of coop- !
eration were splashes of individual brilliance by different play- j
ers. These two factors can rightly be called the reasons for Sus-
quehanna's success. Naturally there were mistakes and per-
iods when the caliber of the play was not up to par but it is
to be expected that where the human element is present there
will be relapses. It is only fair to point out that let-downs were
very infrequent.
Susquehanna's basketball record becomes more significant
when we consider that the opponents were teams which are
held in high regard in the small college circle. Our basketball
representatives had a minimum of what are known as 'soft
touches." Practically every team which was played had a pre-
game rating as good and in many cases better than that of the
local team. Close examination proves that Susquehanna's rec-
ord is more impressive than a casual glance would indicate.
We wish also to make mention of the Junior Varsity squad
which went quietly and unassumingly about its way in compil-
ing a record which allows us to hold high hopes for continued j
Susquehanna successes on the basketball court. It is seldom
that a reserve team receives its due recognition and in this man-
ner we wish to cite the meritorious performance of the second-
stringers.
To coaches and players of both squads, THE SUSQUE-
HANNA extends heartiest congratulations upon the completion
of successful seasons.
Gee, folks, a dance. They are such a
boon to the columnist that I can't help
thinking that there must have been a
clever, half-starving columnist behind
the scene when the first dance was
planned. Way back then, there wasn't
nearly so much to a dance, however.
The field has been developed. (I smell
a Winchell, again.)
Now at our dance last week I notic-
ed how particularly nice Anne and
Homer looked on their anniversary.
Among the freshmen, Jeanne and
Gehron made a good impression on
the strangers — they looked charming
together.
Pledge duties are soon in order, and
if I weren't a freshman who shouldn't
be making things harder for the little '
pledges, I would suggest that at future i
dances pledges be assigned to all the
most slippery places on the floor, there
to dance so that the upper classmen
won't lose their dignity by coming up-
on the spot suddenly. To a freshman,
who hasn't developed that all impor-
tant (?) dignity, it would be lots of
fun. (!) O. K. McCord, fire away.
Who was it who was always calling
for his darling Spechtie all week? And
while we are in this questioning mood,
I must inquire if you knew that on
this following dance week-end Westie
is going to be on campus writing her
Luther paper while George goes to the
convention in Gettysburg.
Now to get back to the dance after
the above, which was for variety, I
want to say that the girls thought that
Shaf's cousin has quite a line. Did he
learn it from you, Shaf?
Conceit is one thing, but I wouldn't
know what you would call Fisher's
thinking that "Hold Tight" was being
played four times for him at the shin-
dig.
Wonder if Coach Stagg noticed how
much use his new track around the
floor got? Miss Shockey seemed to be
having an especially nice time with
Mr. Rainey. As for the other new
couples, I shan't mention them. I'll
probably be writing about some of them
the rest of the year, anyway. (Just a
minute now, Jane, and I'll leave it to
you.) I just wanted to add that we
had a new auctioneer with us in the
person of Sweetzer. Now take it away.
Perky, it seems has been noticeably
reformed by a certain Hank, of Morav-
ian, I believe. Well, well, well, is all I
can think of to say at the present.
What is Sam's new version of the
title "Hold Tight"? He demonstrated
at the game Friday night, it shouldn't
be too hard.
Here's hoping that Hilda, Willard,
Mary Emma, and Paul had an enjoy-
able week-end. Well, I knew they
would.
And now is simple prose, I have an
explanation to make to my colleague.
(I must be slipping, that is such a mild
name for that. — uh colleague.) Through
a typographical error he was called a
"Louise" last week, and that isn't at
all what I meant. Sorry, McCord.
What I meant was "Louse."
Finally it seems that Spiggle got his
scupsscoffee. How did you like it.
George? Just WHEN could it be ar-
ranged for Bob Critchfield to get his
graham cracker pie?
With a bow to dances, the staff of
college life, I leave you.

"THE CAMPUS COLTC"
Basketball season is over and I wish
to congratulate the team for their
spirit and hard work this season. But
there are two little items that are of
some interest that have come out of
this current season.
The first is that I noticed that al-
most the only time that Jones really
displays his wardrobe is when there
was a basketball game and especially
when the sophomore girls play. Now
what could be the attraction on that
team? I guess it must be Fern, or so
he said in his sleep his roommate told
me.
When Susquehanna played at Buck-
nell it was interesting to note how
Jerry Lieb found himself right at home
in the girls' dorm. Everyose will see
her at the pledge dance. It is rumor-
ed that her name is Betty Grahm. Ask
Jerry for further details.
Everyone knows that the other night
we had Tony Sarg as a lecturer on
our Star Course. Did you know that
Sterrett. the boy from Penn Charter,
claims that he has been in a couple of
marionet shows. I wonder who is pull-
ing the strings to make him go now.
It seems strange to me that McBride
was not at the dance. Perhaps he
doesn't have his fraternity pin.
These people who get bids to a dance
and then refuse them amaze me. Here
I am without a bid and one freshman
tells me he had two but just didn't
want to go. Sanford I think you really
ought to go. With that nice curley
hair how can you go wrong?
Another person had a bid and did
not go. He too, amazed me for last
week I announced his acceptance of
the bid but horrors of horrors he did
not go. Jerry that wasn't nice of you.
How do you expect to get other bids,
or are you going after other dances,
say at Bucknell.
And now "The Defense":
THE. DEFENSE
I tried to find and report the truth
And for that I'm blamed
I The bare truth were known to all
Tis I would not be shamed.
But then a little miss
To her pen she did go
And attempt to make a fool of me
The truth she did not know.
! She tried to write a poem it seems
Lateness and I the theme were made
Tis not for me to criticize
That saucy little maid.
I I do not imply she does not know
i Far be that from me.
The most in the "Colic" first did read
But, I grant, not for two or three.
I wish not to imply her head,
With its curly locks
Is like a pilgrim biscuit
Or of the Plymouth rock.
Little biscuit, grant me one thing
It is only one I ask
The facts were not distorted
The truth it was, alas.
Chapel Talks
The series of chapel talks dealing with world problems and
current events commands the attention of all students of Sus-
quehanna. Since their recent institution, these informal lec-
tures have been well-received by those in attendance at chapel.
It has been brought to our attention that students have been
looking forward to each new talk in the series and that those
of us who would not have to attend chapel, have made an es-
pecial effort to be present on those days when a new topic is
scheduled.
Previously in this column, we have pointed out the value of
a knowledge of current affairs to the college student. We have
attempted to show advantage which accrues to the college stu-
dent who is well-versed in the workings of the political and
diplomatic world. In the chapel talks the essence of that which
is occurring in the world is presented in a fashion understand-
able to all of us.
We need only give the speaker our attention to garner the
significance and implications of the political movement of the
nations of the world.
On behalf of the student body, we ask a continuance of
this series of lectures which are profitable to all regardless of
our varied fields of study.
Susquehanna's Instructor In Art
Interprets Mural In Post Office
By HESTER HOFFMAN
Susquehanna University Librarian and In-
structor in Art Appreciation
Effort to appraise artistically the
mural of "Susquehanna Valley from
Shriner's Church," by George Rickey,
involves a discussion of the school of
painters to which he belongs, and of
which this painting is a typical ex-
ample, both by subject and in color
technique.
Mr. Rickey is a pupil of Grant Wood,
who is today accepted by recognized
critics (see article on Grant Wood by
Thomas Craven, Scribner's Magaizne,
June 1935) as probably the most out-
standing living American painter, hav-
ing set a new style of simplicity and
dynamic sincerity. It is very natural
that Mr. Rickey's work should show a
strong influence from his teacher,
Grant Wood, a native Iowan who to-
day at less than 50 years of age pos-
a world reputation for his rural
scenes of plowed fields (to which this
painting is very similar), his portrait
of his mother which is named "Woman
with Plants," and his biting caricature
| characterization of smug certainty in
I "Daughters of the American Revolu-
I tion" (published in Fortune, Decem-
ber, 1938).
It is suitable that a pupil of Wood
should have done the mural for this
; particular post office because Wood,
! himself of Yankee stock, of a pioneer
family in Iowa, has a particular sym-
pathy for and understanding of the
rural self-dependent, self-respecting
J citizen, a strong love of the soil and
| a sense of the solace of hills; he has
popularized a "back to the farm" ln-
, terest in the art taste of the general
public.
This picture, by his pupil, likewise
eulogizes the hardy pioneer types
which have been here for generations,
their life, and the dignity of labor. We
see here a pair of Pennsylvania broth-
ers, one of whom harrows the dewey
soil while the other close behind, seeds
the newly turned loam. Beyond, the
third brother witha foursome of
sturdy horses drags and levels the next
field, while the women folk watch with
satisfaction this time-honored ritual of
.spring, nature renewing herself.

Metro's smash hit of a year ago re-
turns to the local theater for an en-
gagement which was necessitated by
public demand. In this film Spencer
Tracy, Freddie Bartholomew, and Lio-
nel Barrymore have the starring roles.
Incidentally, it was on the basis of his
performance in CAPTAINS COURAG-
EOUS, that Spencer Tracy received the
Movie Academy Award for 1937. In
this film we have the story of a seaman
who wins his way into the affections
of a young boy. The boy is the son
of wealthy parents who were in a ship-
wreck. The ship on which the seaman
is a crew-member rescued the lad and
brought him back to health aboard
the ship. Freddie Bartholomew at first
is antagonistic to the seaman but later
the two become fast friends. The pow-
er and might of the sea in a storm is
realistically portrayed. Throughout the
whole film, masterpieces of production
are much in evidence. Naturally,
Tracy and young Bartholomew steal
the show but there are still laurels left
for the remaining members of the cast,
If you did not see CAPTAINS COUR-
AGEOUS before, now is your chance to
see it. If you have already seen it, you
should see it again.

The Stanley Theater features an-
other thrilling western drama with its
presentation of RANGER'S ROUND-
UP. Here we have the story of the
rugged and hard-fighting western
cowboys who never fail to bring "ohs"

Monday, March 6
The arch-villian of the screen is seen
in his latest vehicle. We, of course, re-
fer to J. Carroll Naish, who is Holly-
wood's ace racketeer. ILLEGAL TRAF-
FIC presents Naish in all of his sneer-
ing "glory" with aU the trimmings of
a metropolitan badman. Co-starred
with him are Mary Carlisle and Robert
Preston. The story deals with Naish 's
activities as a smuggler and the man-
ner in which pretty Miss Carlisle be-
comes involved in his nefarious deal-
ings. Naturally, the racketeer gets in-
to disadvantageous contact with the
police and also drags Miss Carlisle
along with him. Preston Foster, how-
ever, comes to the aid of the young
lady with the result that the plot is
brought to a successful conclusion.
The main characters are remarkably
well-cast and do their work very well.
Naish is particularly well-adapted to
his part and magnificently portrays the
typical gangster.

A splendid cast features Metro's lat-
est release. DRAMATIC SCHOOL.
Luise Rainer. Paulette Goddard, Ala: 1 .
Marshall, and Lana Turner are seer.
in the stellar roles and compose i
most competent cast. The story of
DRAMATIC SCHOOL concerns itself
with the training of young actors and
actresses. Naturally we also have the
heartbreak and disillusions of those
who thought themselves able to make
the grade as stars. It is this portrayal
which tends to make DRAMATIC
SCHOOL one of the high ranking
dramas. Luise Rainer comes to this
film after her recent successes in THE
GREAT WALTZ and TOY WIFE to
equal her best work to date. Paulette
Goddard is seen in one of the very
few pictures which she has made.
Nevertheless, she is properly called I
star. The other topnotchers in the
cast do their parts in fine style. DRA-
MATIC SCHOOL is a film which you
must see.

CRUSADERS TOP WYOMISSING, 52-32;
FOUR SENIORS IN FINAL GAME
-<s>
The Susquehanna University basket-
ball team brought its 1938-39 season to
a close last Friday evening by defeat-
ing the Wyomissing Poly Tech team by
a 52-32 score. This game marked the
tenth victory in seventeen starts for
Coach Stagg's Crusaders. During these
seventeen games Susquehanna scored
769 points to their opponents 681.
In the season's finale against "Wyo-
missing, the play of "Arky" Ford, fleet
footed sophomore, and Co-Capt. Bob
Herr, a senior guard, was outstanding.
Ford tallied seven times from the floor
and five free throws. Herr scored three
field goals and made seven fouls to
total thirteen points.
Wyomissing's passing attack enabled
them to take an early lead as Miller
and Grimes scored field goals. Ford
made good a free throw to open the
local scoring. Both teams were guard-
ing very closely for the first ten min-
utes but two field goals and a foul by
Johnson of the visitors, enabled Wyo-
missing to lead the Crusaders 16-9 at
the end of the first quarter.
A rough and bitterly contested sec-
ond period was featured by some ex-
cellent passing on the part of the Cru-
saders and at half-time the score stood
25-22 with the Staggmen out in front.
Soon after the second half got un-
der way the locals began to completely
outclass the Tech lads in both passing
and scoring. Led by Don Ford, the
locals counted eleven points before the
visitors were able to tally one field
goal. The third quarter ended with
Susquehanna in the lead, 43-27.
In the final period Coach Stagg used
frequent substitutions and the new
men continued to run up the score. A
dose defense employed by the locals
during this period allowed the Wyo-
missing team only five points while the
Crusaders tallied nine.
Four seniors played their last game
for the Orange and Maroon quintet
last Friday night. Co-Captains Bob
Herr and Bennie Gould and Harry
McBride saw action while Don Wert
was held on the sidelines due to a re-
cent illness.
This year Bob Herr was presented a
trophy by Coach Stagg for being the
best foul shooter on the Crusader
quintet, the graduating captain caging
seventy out of one hundred tries.

Coach Stagg's Orange and Maroon
courtsters recently' completed their first
year of intercollegiate basketball in the
mythical Pennsylvania Basketball Con-
ference with a record of four wins
against two defeats. As a result of
their showing in the Conference the
Crusaders forced a three way tie for
first honors with Moravian and Juni-
ata, each team winning four and los-
ing two court tilts. Elizabethtown,
unable to turn back any of the con-
ference teams, occupies last place.
The Crusaders experienced little dif-
ficulty in defeating Elizabethtown in
the contests played on the local court
and away. In their first encounter with
the Juniata Indians, the Staggmen
eked out a close victory in the final
minutes of the hotly contested battle.
However, in the return game at Juni-
ata the Crusaders did not fare so well,
and the Indians won by a comfortable
margin on their home court. The Cru-
saders again found the going tough
when they met the Moravian Grey-
hounds at Bethlehem, where they suf-
fered their second loss in the confer-
ence. In their final conference tilt the
Crusaders avenged their first defeat
from the Greyhounds by setting back
the invaders with little trouble.
It is unlikely that a playoff will be
arranged since the conference lead
was shared by three teams and would
probably interfere with the spring
sports schedule of the three institu-
tions involved. Competition in baseball
and track among the contenders in the
conference is expected to draw added
interest this spring from the student
bodies included in the Central Penn-
svlvania Conference.

Candidates Workout
In Alumni (gymnasium
member of the Scranton-Keystone
team; Dave Carter, also a transfer
student whose home is in Mt. Hope.
West Virginia: George Bantley. a
sophomore, is expected to make var-
sity grade this year; and freshmen
Bill Knauber and Jerry Lieb. of whom
little is known.
At present the squad is working out
in the gymnasium handball court, but
soon will transfer its activities to the
gym floor, where a regulation court is
lined-off. Coach Stagg hopes to take
his charges outside at the earliest op-
portunity.
Six battery lettermen, led by Cap-
tain Glenn Hauff. are working out
under the supervision of Bob Pritch-
ard. baseball coach. In addition to
Hauff, the letter winning pitchers are:
lefthander Leon Krouse and Sam
Fletcher. The catchers, who are var-
sity holdovers include: senior "Whitey"
Keil. and sophomores Bob Cornelius
and Tom Lewis. Al Wellman, Leon
Haines. Jack Price. Fred Warner, and
John Gensel are other candidates for
the Crusader mound staff Of this
group, only Gensel has had varsity ex-
j perience. Tt is expected that Coach
Pritchard will call for candidates for
l the other positions in the near future.
The Orange and Maroon mentor is
anxious to get as early a start as pos-
sible in preparation for the impending
schedule which promises to be one of
the most difficult undertaken by a
Susquehanna nine in several years.
Among the opponents are found: Penn
State. Dickinson, Juniata. Upsala. and
Moravian.
Last Friday evening the final cur-
tain was drawn on this year's basket-
ball season. For the first time since
1929 the Crusaders have been able to
pull through a cage schedule with more
wins than losses. The record shows
the locals with ten wins and seven de-
feats, the Staggmen scored 769 points
to their opponents' 681, which makes
the average per game well over forty -
five.
The season's finale with Wyomissing
Tech, although the final count was not
close, was really the most exciting
game on the schedule. The boys from
Reading played what is known as an
aggressive defensive game. The Tech
lads never dropped back on defense
but continually rushed the Crusader
guards as they attempted to advance
the ball. For several minutes after the
opening whistle the visitors continual-
ly took possession of the ball by in-
terceptions, but when the locals fin-
ally steadied their play, the visitors
became so aggressive and rough, that
the officials had no alternative other
than to call personal fouls. The Wyo-
missing coach and players became
quite heated and failed to cool off dur-
ing the halftime intermission. As a
result, they became erratic in their
play and the Staggmen marched to
their eighth straight victory on the
home court.
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
According to Coach Stagg, Bob Herr
of this year's varsity court team, is
probably the most accurate foul shoot-
er in collegiate circles in the nation.
For three year's Herr has been the
most deadly man on the Crusader cage
lineup when it comes to toeing the
| free throw line. On many occasions his
: ability to make the charity tosses
awarded him, have meant the differ-
ence between victory and defeat for
i the locals. Herr has been able to ac-
; complish his record by constant prac-
' tice and by his ability to be at ease
during the tense moments of contests.
We doff our hats to Bob Herr, it will
be hard to find a man to replace him
' on the cage team next year.
At this point we wish to extend our
congratulations to those seniors who
finished their collegiate cage careers
last Friday . against Wyomissing. We
wish to recognize the individual as well
as well as teamwork spirit of Co-Cap-
tains Bennie Gould and Bob Herr.
. Harry McBride, and Don Wert. We
regret that Wert, was unable to be in
, the lineup for the last game of the
season, due to illness, but every person
: who saw the locals play this year, will
I agree that Wert was one of the best
i defensive players on the court. His
\ ability to get the "tap" on jump balls.
I led to Don Ford making fourteen field
goals via of what is known as the
"homerun" tap. Again we say. it will
be hard to find men to fit the shoes of
these men who depart from the cage
team.
FAMOUS COMEBACKS:
Baseball and track on the sports
card. During the past few weeks as
Susquehanna University's entrants in
tenm.s and baseball have already begun
practice in Alumni Gymnasium in
preparation for the coming spring cam-
paigns. Coach Amos A. Stagg, Jr., has
Issued his call for tennis candidates
While Assistant Coach Robert Pritch-
ard has his baseball battery men
warming up in the gym while the
Weather is still unfavorable to outdoor
workouts.
Two lettermen. Captain Benny Gould
and Harold Saunders, are the only
monogram winners remaining from
last year's tennis squad. The only
other experienced man to answer the
call for candidatr i Gtone Williams,
a junior who just missed winning his
varsity award last season. However, it I
is expected that Williams together
with Gould and Saunders, will form I
tr >e nucleus of the present team.

SARG INTERVIEWED
BY STAFF MEMBER
(Continued from Page 1)
Mr. Sarg, however, with a real audi-
ence-thawing smile.
Now. while carefully sidestepping
trunks in which marionettes were be-
ing packed. I learned that "Greedy
Joe" and the rest of the troup had
come from Union City, Pa., and that
they were on their way to Alliance to
make their appearance before a Wo-
man's Club.
"Young people." says Mr. Sarg,
"make my best audiences." When ask-
ed which part of his entertainment he
preferred presenting, he answered that
he "enjoys most what brings the best
laugh." Then he said that he guessed
he enjoyed the fish tank best at Sus-
quehanna.
The interview ended with an invita-
tion by Mr. Sarg, "Are you coming to
the World's Fair? Come to see my
three hundred and eighty feet of mur-
als."
And at that point the silent reporter
said to herself. "Mr. Sarg, if they are
half as good as your performances to-
night, that's where I'll be spending all
my time at the Fair."
Answer: Ask poor Willie, who is bear-
ing under the strain quite well. At
least he is sure of not losing her. Fig-
ure it out if you can.
We tip-toed to a remote corner of
the gym and hid behind a palm in
hopes we might hear some bright re-
marks as the couples go ripping by.
Here's one we did catch— Wightman to
Frannie, "You know what they do at
Seibert? Put the porch light on a
bamboo tree — the kind that grows ten
inches a day. and before you know it
that radiant beam will be out of sight."
I noticed how very nice Elsie Hochella
looked in a charming angora jacket.
Shockey and Rainey ended up by hav-
ing about the best time anyone could.
And I subconsciously heard Brosius
whisper to Westie — "I am in my glory."
Very interesting was Arentz and Long
John as were Stephens with that pert
little hair ribbon swaying in the breeze
and Betty Diehl and Bill Davis follow-
ing in their footsteps. Pun: Baish
"May-er" may not confess of her good
time but we know the answer.
One noticeable feature of the even-
ing was the usual non-attendance of
Miller and Hayes. It has been definite-
ly proven that Miller'^ knee is allergic
to the word "dance." A couple who
seemed to be all over the floor were
Perky and Sivick, who had several
| collisions, but then who didn't. As
Hutch remarked to me. "I'd so much
rather keep on dancing instead of
having this silly intermission." She
struck me as having made a good
statement, one that I wish could be
possible. By the way I don't know how
Reichard responded to her statement.

pi Gamma Mu Holds
Regular Meeting
The regular monthly meeting of the
local chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. Na-
tional Honorary Social Science So-
ciety, was held last Monday evening,
March 6 at the home of Dr. T. W.
Kretschmann. Robert Herr, president
of the local chapter, presided at the
meeting.
The theme of the discussion period
held at the meeting concerned itself
with government. Ruth Yarger con-
ducted the discussion which included
two reports given by Miriam Miller
and Henry Keil. After the reports, an
open forum was conducted in which
the members of the organization par-
ticipated.
Plans were made for the next in the
series of Pi Gamma Mu public meet-
ings. The most recent of these fea-
tured Samuel Grathwell. noted lectur-
er, who spoke on the subject of "Get-
ting by Your Hoodoo" in the college
chapel on February 15. The next pub-
lic meeting will be held in April and
will feature Jessie Ray Taylor, well-
known impersonator.

The members of the Selinsgrove Wo-

the regular meeting of the Ladies*
Auxiliary of Susquehanna University
on Saturday afternoon in Seibert Hall
auditorium. The program was arrang-
ed by Mrs. D. K. Rishell. club presi-
dent, as follows:
Trio. "I Do Not Ask. O Lord," by
Spross. and "When the Roses Bloom."
Mrs. Luther D. Grossman, Mrs. Wil-
liam G. Phillips, Miss Ruth Herman,
accompanied by Mrs. Dallas C. Baer:
piano solo, "Sunday Morning at Glion."
by Hendel, Mrs. Dallas C. Baer.
Soprano solo. "Orpheus," by Sullivan.
Miss Mary Nesbitt, accompanied by
two-part chorus and four-hand piano
accompaniment "The Crimson Glow of
Sunset Fades," Mrs. Alice Giauque and
Mrs. William G. Phillips, vocal. Mrs.
Luther D. Grossman and Miss Mary
Nesbitt, piano.
Mrs. Ray Fisher, South High street,
was chairman of the social committee.
The operetta, "Clopatra," and the
Variety Show of the Men's Music Guild
was efficiently and officially presented
to the audience by the Guild's presi-
dent, Fred Schmidt, Friday, March 4,
in Seibert Hall Chapel. Mr. Schmidt
also introduced the master of cere-
monies for the evening, David Carter.
Mr. Carter, with the rest of the
triofi Clyde Sechler and Paul Rainye,
immediately put the crowd in the
groove with their "Confession," "The
Object of My Affections," "Love Call,"
"Chinatown," and that part of the
South. "Honeysuckle." Sechler strum-
med his guitar, Rainey played the
clarinet, and Carter ruled the bass.
After this very staid and dignified
presentation, the crowd welcomed
Rusty Morgan, perhaps better known
in police circles as Michael Mastovich,
and on campus as Milo. Milo gave a
"rendition" on his trombone. And
rendition is the word for it.
To ?et back to the classics, Neil Fish-
er gave us "The Pearls," a polka by
Chambers, on his trumpet. His play-
ing was well received as was the fol-
lowing piano solo, "Juba Dance" by
Dett, played by Joe Mehalow.
David Coren <on the program, Joe
Corn on campus) played Mozart's
"Concerto in D Major" in the manner
of a real violin artist. We sure like
that, Joe.
"The Pagan Love Song" and "The
One Rose" were then sawed off by
Franklin Wolfe. Perhaps that sawed
off doesn't adequately express our ap-
preciation of your musical saw, but,
honest, we like it. Frankie. Rusty
then came on stage with some new
antics on his trombone. How well he
played. It seems that the more pieces
not together, the better a trombone
sounds.
A bright spot of the evening, and
they are hard to pick, was the smooth
clarinet trio, Rainey. Edmund Kozlow-
ski, and Harold Elkins. They played,
a la Goodman. "Wolverine Blues."
"Weary Blues." and "Milenberg Joys."
Carter and Company then took over

the charming La Rue, who reached her

the evening commanded my attention,
and I forgot my worries.
Around me as I danced I could see
imports galore. Messrs. Freyer. Mess-
ner, Moyer, and Wolfe were only a few
of the many B. K.'s to introduce "back-
home" friends Frankie iWoo-Woo-
Wolfe seemed to enjoy the dance to
the fullest extent. Pledge Burke and
Miss Schwenk were given the spot when
they illustrated just how a couple of
jitterbugs should perform. Pledge Fur-
man (acting under orders from super-
iors^ gave a rendition of the Beta
Kappa song.
Not knowing the custom at fratern-
ity dances, we returned early from in-
termission and believe you me. the
floor wasn't crowded one bit. When
the crowd had Anally reassembled, the
gayety was resumed. Smalts and Ben-
nage seemed to be in good form, but
then psychology teaches us that one
cannot judge emotions from outward
appearances. As for Willie and Hilda,
well you just guess and you'll be right.
A group of twenty-five students, Miss .
Engel, and Dr. Ovrebo attended the ,
Nineteenth Annual Conference of the '
North Atlantic region of the Lutheran
Student Association of America held
at Gettysburg College beginning Fri-
ly evening, March the third, and
ending Sunday, the fifth.
The theme of the conference. "Chris-
tian Community Living," was presented j
by Dr. Abdel Ross Wentz, professor, ;
Lutheran Theological Seminary. Get- i
tysburg; member, Executive Commit-
tee. Lutheran World Convention; dele-
gate. Conference, Faith and Order,
Edinburgh; delegate. International
Missionary Conference, Madras, India.
Dr. Wentz spoke of the theme in terms
and in the light of the Madras Confer-
ence at which more than fifty-two
races were represented, all living to- !
gether for eighteen days in an ideal
world community of which English was
the official language. The situation in '■
which the world was at that time cer- ,
tainly gave clear evidence of the Chal-
lenge of the Hostile World, one of the
conference commissions, because there
were religious uprisings, a political up- !
roar resulting in threats of war in
Europe; yet the conference was a suc-
cess as Christianity will be if Chris-
tians unite and influence the policies
of the nations. The main ideas in the
speech were the world Christian Com-
munity is something which has to be
| perceived by the soul, and Christianity
imust be national rather than foreign
[for the heathen world to be converted.
Saturday morning the Bible Study
| was given by Dr. Donald Miller, in
i which he interpreted the Book of Gen-
' esis in the light of modern civilization.
The outstanding ideas which have a
bearing on our life are as follows:
1. The exceeding value of man; the
whole universe was created for man
' in the proper relationship with God.
We are sacrificing man for less worth-
while things when we wage wars. God
paid the supreme price to redeem man.
2. The real issues of life are moral
and spiritual and therein lies the value
of man. Abraham depicts right char-
acter standing for moral right over
those of material therefore he received
spiritual blessings. Moral and spiritual
valuta are not natural to man. but
their values come only through reve-
lation.
3. These values have to be preserved
for the race by individuals who dedi-
cate themselves for this work. The
*bel's have to save the world from the
"a ins.
4. In the mind of God it is determ-
ined that these values shall ultimately
triumph, The entire book is like a
double telescope which begins with the
universe, a race, then narrows down
to individuals needed as a nucleus for
v'Uef in these values, then the nucleus
will eventually broaden out to engulf

S
ACTION OF THE INTER-
FRATERNITY COUNCIL
The bus had no sooner started on the
way for Gettysburg than the fun be-
"an. "Grandma" Crompton got out :
her glasses and settled down to read ;
a book; ho hum, I guess I'll catch up
on some sleep before we get there be-
cause who knows when I'll get to bed.
What is all that noise? There's de-i
votion for you. "Mimi" Unangst got a
note from Bill, delivered specially by
Agent Haines. By the way, Leon, did
you also have special orders to see
that she had a good time? You didn't
fail in either. I was wondering how I
was ever going to survive until we
reached Gettysburg, because my appe-
tite is so big, but Man,' Lee treated the
whole group to apples. Merle assisted
in the distribution. Our head waiter.
Bob, was right on the job to see that
everyone was supplied with all the
treats that went around, first and fore-
most though was his concern for
Wrighty.
Since people in the front of the bus
can't see what is going on in the rear,
I wonder why Sanders made that re-
mark to Katy Hansen about necking;
perhaps Leon could explain. One never
knows, does one. what to expect next
from the faculty members. Leon didn't
either when he felt something around
his neck; it was just Dr. Ovrebo *s
prank in gymnastics.
Who said that the Motet was the
best vocal group on our campus, we did
quite well I think, "Sparky," the driver,
will tell you so. At last, it's time for
refreshments again; this time it was
an ice cream cone, and I fortified my-
self with a pocketful of pretzels, be-
sides.
My how "Ginny" perked up and
dropped her knitting when we got to
the campus. Yes. he still loves her,
and a good time was had by all. Of
course it was a disappointment when
we found out that we weren't going to
be at the hotel which had the grill;
but where we did room was satisfac-
tory to all. What time did some of the
nils get in? Wrighty and Rothermel
can give first-hand information, as well
at ideas for a moonlight evening.
There wasn't an idle moment it
seems, but who cared as long as we
saw the Battlefield and then got to the
banquet on time. It's funny how my
thoughts turn to food, but who
wouldn't if he saw the big dish of ice
; cream we got. Yes. two of our grads
! were waiters. "Woody" Klinger and
I George Clark.
All was well and everyone was in
fine spirits until we had to wait for
Sanders and his company. It's a won-
der he doesn't get an alarm clock
strung around his neck, so that he gets
to places on time. The main pastime
on the return trip was the funnies, but
who started the novel method of dis-
bution, I wonder?
Old S. U. is in sight at last. One
rousing cheer for "Sparky," and now I
must hurry because it's nearly five
o'clock and supper.
At a meeting of the Interfraternity
Council on February 25, 1939, it was
agreed that Bond and Key Club and
Phi Mu Delta Fraternity had been
guilty of violating the spirit of the
ritution and By-Laws of the Inter-
fraternity Council in respect to the
pledging of candid.
Therefore. In accordance with Ar-
ticle XII. Section 1, 2, and 3 of the
Constitution of the Interfraternity
Council, the above-named organiza-
tions will be fined $15.00 each, and
notice of the infraction will be pub-
(l in three lUceeaflTt issues of The
Susquehanna.
Walter Drumm Speaks
at S. C. A. Meeting
"The Observance of Lent" was the
theme of the joint meeting of the
men's and women's S. C. A., held in
the meeting rooms of Seibert Hall last
Thursday evening, March 2. Leon
Haines, president of the organization,
was in charge of the meeting.
Walter Drumm. speaking on the sig-
nificance of the Lenten season, pointed
OUt that the word came from an old
Anglo-Saxon word which referred to
the coming of spring. Drumm went on
to say that Lent is a season in which

The Susquehanna University debat-
ers, with Prof. Russeil W. Gilbert as
coach, have begun their active season
in debates with Ursinus College on
February 23 and with Penn State Col-
lege on Monday evening. The question
being debated this year concerns the
foreign policy of the United States:
■Resolved:— that the United States
should follow a policy of isolation to-
ward a"l nations involved in civil or
international conflict, outside the
Western Hemisphere." Two one-week
trips have been arranged: one to west-
ern Pennsylvania and one covering
eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and
New Jersey. The debaters will take
part again this year in the Pennsyl-
vania State Debaters' Convention to be
held at State College on March 17 and
18.
The varsity squad this year is com-
posed of: Vincent Frattali, manager;
Hubert Pellman, Robert Booth, Merle
Hoover. Kenneth Wilt. Harry Thatch-
er, and Melvin Haas.
The first intercollegiate debate of the
season was held Thursday afternoon,
February 23. with Ursinus College.
Robert Booth and Merle Hoover, rep-
resenting Susquehanna, opposed the
negative team of Ursinus. On Monday
evening. Susquehanna's affirmative;
team, composed of Hubert Pellman and
Harry Thatcher, debated Messrs. GatZ
and Mong, of Penn State in a public
debate in Seibert Auditorium.
An intense schedule for the next
three weeks has been announced by

Another important part of the de-
baters' program this year will be the
Penn State Debaters' Convention to
be held at Penn State on March 17 and
18 to which Susquehanna will send two
representatives. Here representatives
of colleges and universities from every
section of Pennsylvania will iiscuaa
such problems as:
(1) What should be America's for-
eign policy in relation to avoiding or
minimizing the evils of war?
(2) What changes should be made
in the system of higher education of-
fered by the American Liberal Arts
Colleges?
(3) What is the best solution to the
employer-labor struggle in the U. S.?
This convention acts very much like a
legislative body. Each college prepares
a mimeographed statement of its stand
: on the topic assigned it. There are
committee meetings, speeches from the
floor, proposals for amendments, com-
mittee reports, minority reports, etc. —
all carried on under strict rules of par-
liamentary procedure. This experience
Ifl invaluable for one interested in the
government or political science field.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1939
For a United Purpose
There is no place in Susquehanna University for any ex-
hibitions of the existence of different groups on the campus.
Recently, we have noticed evidences of the advertising of one
faction or another placed in prominent places on the campus.
The spirit which prompted the exhibiting of various insignias
js contrary to the well-being of the entire purpose and program
of the University. The institution is founded upon a united
purpose rather than upon the existence of partisanship. There
is no one group that is guilty of this violation but all groups at
some time or other indulge in this malpractice.
There are several angles to consider when we indulge in
flagrant exhibitions of partisanship. For one thing, we must
keep in mind the fact that people who are not well acquainted
with the school are continually visiting the campus to inspect
the grounds and buildings. Many of these people are sponsor-
ing prospective students. Evidences that the school is divided
into contending organizations will not help the administration
in its fight to increase the choice enrollment of the student body.
Then too, people who have a knowledge of Susquehanna Uni-
versity and look favorably upon it, will not be strengthened in
their opinion. The view in which the University is held by per-
sons off campus either directly or indirectly affects the welfare
and future prominence of all students of Susquehanna. The
higher the outside-regard for Susquehanna University, the
higher will be the regard in which its graduates are held.
A school the size of our school is highly dependent upon a
spirit of unity and a common purpose in all of its activities.
Athletics are based upon united effort. We have at all times
noted that when a Susquehanna team takes the field of contest,
there is a common purpose in evidence on the part of those who
represent our student body. It seems to us that a union which
exists on the athletic field can very well be carried into the
other activities and relationships on the campus. We defeat
the purpose of the college and thereby defeat our own purpose
when we make a show of a rift in the components of the school.
There is no sane purpose behind a continued attempt to thwart
our own objectives. It is upon this fact we base a plea that all
of us become less group conscious and more aware of the welfare
of whole institution.
S
Suggestions for Senior Class Gift
The time of year is approaching when the graduating class
makes its selection of the gift which it is to make to the Uni-
versity. We believe that the present class will continue the
tradition and make its decision. There are evidences all around
us of things which are needed and which will increase the at-
tractiveness of the college. We do not believe it amiss that THE I
SUSQUEHANNA takes the liberty of tendering some sugges-
tions to the senior class.
In view of the fact that the basketball team gave to the |
student body its first winning and successful team in the past \
three years, it would certainly exhibit a spirit of gratitude that J
provision be made in the donation of funds for the purchasing
of sweat suits for the varsity players. There is no question that
the suits are badly needed.
Also in the gymnasium there is a large room above the
vestibule which could with a comparatively small amount of
money be converted into a game room. This room would be
comparable to varsity letter rooms which exist in the field
houses or gymnasiums of other schools.
Those of us who have the majority of our classes in the
rooms in G. A. have at some time or other noted the decrepid
condition of the chairs in some of the class rooms. A donation
toward the purchase of new class room furniture would assured-
ly be put to good advantage and would improve the interior of
the main class building.
The suggestions we have made are just a few of the many
causes to which the senior class fund might be advantageously
directed. We have no doubt that in the final outcome the mem-
bers of the graduating class will wisely decide as to its gift.
Another dance. Things just seem to
come our way anymore. Especially im-
ports. The number of imports almost
out-numbered the home bodies this
week end. Among the old timers were
the girl friends of Bill Davis and Bob
Herr. Almost an old timer was Steve
1 Owen's little Dutchy from Swarthmore.
j Roommmates Shoemaker and Heaton
: had their much heralded "girls from
home" here and they were both even
) better than the boys told us, and those
fellows used plenty of expletives.
This week's laurel goes to Critch-
. field ('40) for actually attending a
| Saturday class. Oh, yes, did you know
that Carter had gone North?
j , Personal nominations for lovely
| ladies of the pledge dance: June Sny-
der and Marie Edlund.
Wonder why Sechler, who so con-
j sistently brought down the house Fri-
day night, put such special emphasis
on "Summertime," Friday night? While
on the subject of the operetta, maybe
the Chief wouldn't mind too much if
I would say, editorially speaking, that
the campus feels a need for more of
that sort of entertainment. There
seems to be only one drawback. Sev-
eral members of the audience laughed
so heartily that those near them really
worried about their ability to witness
the remainder of the show if it con-
tinued getting funnier. With some
sort of arrangement made for those
who are in danger of overlaughing, we
are ready for another of the same —
any day now.

On the record for this week: saw our
| first robin, enjoyed immensely Life's
article on Heywood Broun. Also no-
ticed that Fisher has caught his room-
mate's fondness for scarfs.
Social note extraordinaire: Blanche
will be trucking down to Princeton next
week-end. Remember us to all our
friends. Everyone seems to be going
nome this week-end.
While glancing over the campus colic
last week (I really can't waste my time

"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
The fraternity dances are over and
gone and so are some of the beautiful
imports. Many of the fellows have long
faces especially those who brought
their lovelies from outside.
The most prominent member of the
long faces' club is W. Lovell Davis,
who brought his charmer up from
Hood. Some girl, Bill; let's see more
of her.
Bucknell was well represented by |
Leib's Betty Grimm.
Orchids to the most beautiful girl i
at the Phi Mu Delta dance. How about
an introduction, Mr. Herr?
Everyone who attended the Bond ■
and Key Dance is still talking about
the boys' rendition of "Hold Tight."
Let's leave the dances and get back
to the old standby, G. Claus Spiggle.
His manly head is greying, worrying
over his fraternity pin. That thing
(,e.s around more than a chain letter.
iVr.o has it now, George?
This is the second time I missed
meeting Patty Snead. Will I ever get
a break? I've heard so much about

Has Konkle adopted the habit of
c'oing things backward or wasn't he
keeping his mind on his driving. Don't
blame you, Bob.
Your columnist wishes to take this
space to thank Blanche for her part-
ner, who had such a wonderful time.
He really did.
Is the split up between Sam and
Angie permanent or just a lover's
quarrel. We wonder what it was this
time?
Gabby and Spisgle are neck and
neck for a certain young ladies' at-
tention. Come on, Babs, make a choice.
Both have their good qualities.
Is Wilmer being rushed by two young
ladies? My, my, one in town and one
in Seibert. How that redhead slays
them.
After Saturday night, Lawrence has
ideas of building a ferry in Sunbury.
Why the sudden interest, John?
Why has Baxter put his curse on
Barber Unions? He claims the Sel-

Susquehanna's Instructor In Art
Interprets Mural In Post Office
By HESTER HOFFMAN
Susquehanna University Librarian and In-
structor in Art Appreciation
(Continued from Last Week)
It is a local scene, and one of the
functions of art is to draw attention
to the otherwise commonplace, by ac-
centing its merits. The placid Susque-
hanna, winding out between the hills,
completes the atmosphere which is na-
tive to this section — one of simple
hardy farm life, homey, stable, sinewed
by a love of nature and the great out-
doors. The perspective is expertly
handled, encompassing several miles,
with no feeling of crowding. The color
is suited to the peaceful scene, being
laid on in broad planes of clear reds
and blues, rich in variety and depth,
yet having a fresco-like softness, caus-
ed partly by the almost complete ab-
sence of shadows throughout the pic-
ture.
This technique is also used by Grant
Wood. It is interesting that the light
casts practically no shadows — it is a
suffusion of the clear light of dawn,
outlining the undulating hills; the
coming of dawn is further attested by
the horizon just brightening close over
the earth, while the heavens above
hang heavy with the receding dark-
ness.
This technique of laying color in
pure unshaded planes and flat sur-
faces in a suffusion of general light was
freely employed by the Impressionists,
a group of painters flourishing in
France before the World War, headed
by Monet, Manet and Renoir, who
knew very well that light, and there-
fore the appearance of nature, chang-
ed every moment as the light shifted.
Also they consciously tried to include
the simple in painting, to create the
impression of an object by stripping
off detail, laying in broad clear color
merely the surface impression which
the eye sees in looking at and past an
object. They were struggling against
the traditional technique of the great
masters, Van Dyck, David, Rubens,
whose attention to detail in painting
had become almost microscopic. The
poster-like quality of color and suffus-
ed light of the Impressionists strongly
influenced Grant Wood, and in the
work of his pupil, George Rickey, we
see this carry-over.

United Artists presents another one
of its long strings of successes with the
release of THE YOUNG IN HEART,
Janet Gaynor, a favorite of many
years, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who is
making a successful comeback, Paul-
ette Goddard, Roland Young, and Bil-
he Burke are the stars of the film
which brings to the screen a story with
a strong family appeal. We have Janet
Gaynor as the coy young girl who falls
in love with Douglas Fairbanks only
to have a woman of the world attempt
to win his affections. Naturally, a host
of laughs are provided by Hollywood's
nuttiest pair, Billie Burke and Roland
Young. It will be remembered that
these two stars stole the spotlight in
Topper Takes a Trip. All indications
point to a like performance in THE
YOUNG IN HEART. Miss Burke, in
particular, panics the audience with
her peculiar faculty of mixing-things-
up. The characters in this picture are
especially well-cast and all of them
submit high-grade performances. If
you want to see ninety minutes of good
drama liberally spiced with rollicking
comedy, see THE YOUNG IN HEART,

The warbling, two-fisted cowboy re-
turns to the Stanley theater in his lat-
est vehicle, RHYTHM OF THE
dADDLE. We mean no one else but
Gene Autry, Hollywood's top-ranking
western actor. Smiley Burnette and
Pert Kelton are paired with Gene in
this film. The story of the picture
deals with Gene's adventures as a
cowhand. Of course, villians must be
included in a drama of this type but
to Autry they they are as nothing. He
quickly and smoothly disposes of them.
The high-spots of RHYTHM OF THE
SADDLE are furnished when Autry
bursts into song with a new batch of
western ballads. Smiley Burnette pro-
vides a plentiful supply of laughs as
does Pert Kelton, who is just what her
name proclaims her to be. Advance
notices inform us that RHYTHM OF
nE SADDLE ranks with Autry's best
pictures.

Paramount presents Bing Crosby in
his most recent picture, PARIS
HONEYMOON, in which Franciska
Gaal and Akim Tamiroff also appear.
The story is centered about life in
Paris and concerns itself primarily
with the adventures of a newly-mar-
ried couple who are continually "taken-
in" by the various people who make
their livlihood by deceiving tourists.
Akim Tamiroff is the man who lives
by his wits but is eventually outwitted.
Of course, Crosby's songs are the high-
lights of the film. Bing introduce*
several new numbers which are bound
to rank as hits. Franciska Gaal is get-
ting better with each picture and
reaches a high peak of stardom in
PARIS HONEYMOON. Don't miss
this fine picture.

Another of the films of the United
States Military Academy comes out of

THE DUKE OF WEST POINT stars
j Louis Hayward. Tom Brown, and Joan
1 Fontaine. We have in this picture the
j usual football thriller in addition to
j the relating of the life of a cadet from
! his plebe year until he becomes a first
\ classman. There is much comedy in
i the form of hazing plebes. The feature
and highpcint is reached in the pre-
sentation of a varsity show. The .show
is very effective in the production of
uproarious comedy. Louis Hayward
who is known for his acting in the film
series of "The Saint," is in the stellar
role and turns in a fine performance
Tom Brown has long been seen in
! stories of college and academy life
Joan Fontaine supplies the feminine
interest. THE DUKE OF WEST POINT
should be on your must -see list.

HONOLULU, a Metro production
comes to the Stanley theater witli a
\ long string of smashed box-office rec-
ords wherever it has shown. Eleanor

i and Gracie Allen are the stars of this
picture which features Miss Powell's
dancing ability. Robert Young plays »
double role, one of his characters is a
publicity-avoiding movie star while the
other is a Hawaiian pineapple grower
who is visiting the United States. From
this likeness of two characters is evolv-
ed many humorous situations. Eleanor
Powell falls in love with the movie
star while he is masquerading as the
pineapple producer. Both get them-
selves into difficulties. Eleanor's danc-
ing in the Hawaiian style is the high-
light of the production. Burns and
Allen come through with another
smash performance. HONOLULU pre-
sents an entertainment which is *
crowd pleaser of the best type.

A glance at the statistics of the bas-
ketball team as compiled by Coach A.
A. Stagg. Jr., reveals that the Crusad-
ers scored 768 points against their op-
ponents' 680. Even more impressive in
the Crusaders record of the past sea-
son is the individual scoring records
on the team. Bob Heir, veteran for
three years, took possession of the in-
dividual scoring honors with 182 points.
For the past two years Herr has led
the Crusaders in the number of pen-
alty tosses made. This year he con-
verted 70 out of 100 free throws from
the foul line. Don Ford, sophomore
who completed his second year on the
varsity was second in the individual
scoring with 155 points. Ford proved
his ability at sinking the ball from any
spot within the halfway mark by lead-
ing the team in the number of field
goals made. Phil Templin, rangy fresh-
man center, scored 132; Benny Gould,
co-captain, scored 104; and Harry Mc-
Bride scored 95 points to prevail as
the leaders in the individual scoring of
the Crusaders. Ford and Herr were
high scorers for a single game with 19
points. Four seniors will be lost to
the basketball team next year because
of graduation; they include Co-cap-
tains Benny Gould and Bob Herr,
Harry McBride and Don Wert. Next
year's team will in all probability cen-
ter around the veterans Don Ford,
Clair Kaltreider, Phi Templin, and Bob
Pisher,
S
and Reese put the underclass team in
the running. Pete Lalich scored the
final goal in the first half with a long
shot from well back of the center
; court, probably one of the longest to
; ever be made on the local court, as the
j juniors took a 9-8 lead at the halftime
I intermission.
Both teams opened up defensively
during the second half. The juniors
held a five point lead throughout the
third quarter but shortly after the final
quarter got under way, Joe Zavarich
found the range to the hoop and scor-
ed five field goals with the aid of some
beautiful passing on the part of Cor-
nelius and Reese. The sophomores
tightened their defense during the last
period and allowed the juniors only
one field goal. The final showed the
class of '41 out in front by the score
of 26-19.
Joe Zavarich led the attack for the
winners offensively while Howdie Reese
played a wonderful defensive game.
Pete Lalich was the big gun in the
attack of the juniors both on the of-
fensive and defensive.

-Patronize Susquehanna advertisers.
Last Thursday evening the curtain
was drawn on the current basketball
season at Susquehanna, when the
sophomores defeated the juniors to be-
come the inter-class champions for the
year. However, it has been rumored
that there will be a round-robin of
inter-fraternity games to start some
time in the near future, although no
statement to that effect has been de-
clared by the intra-mural board.
The present sophomore class has had
an unusual record in sports since it
came to the campus. The class of '41
lost its football game with the class of
'40 by a big margin and then won only
one game in last year's basketball com-
petition. This year, however, their
record has been almost the reverse.
They won in football from the frosh
and then proceeded to battle their way
to the inter-class basketball champion-
ship. Congratulations to the Class of
'41.
Baseball language is beginning to
make itself heard throughout the
country. The major league teams have
made their annual excursion to the
warmer parts, college teams are be-
ginning to work out in the open, and
the corner store is continually buzzing
with chatter about the national game.
This year marks baseball's centennial.
Since 1839. when Abner Doubleday in-
vented the game at Cooperstown, N.
Y.. the game has grown and today is
without a doubt the national pastime.
During those one hundred years many
strange oddities have happened, many
Ripleys have been performed which
are almost unbelievable. Let us cite
one.
DEAD MAN SCORES!!
Grimmest of baseball's oddities took
place when the Willmar and Benson
semi-pro nines played at Willmar.
Minn., on July 14, 1903.
The community's baseball fans were
at fever pitch as the teams battled
nine innings to a scoreless tie. In the
first half of the tenth their hearts
sank low when Benson sent a run
across the plate.
In the home team's half, Thielman.
Willmar pitcher, came out nearly ex-
hausted but slapped a scratch single.
O'Toole. next batter, responded to the
crowd's pleas for a hit with a smash
to centerfield. Calling on his last burst
of energy. Thielman rounded second,
then staggered into third and col-
lapsed. O'Toole tore around the bases,
came to third, realized that he'd be
out if he passed Thielman, so he lifted
the prostrated player in his arms and
carried him to home plate, then touch-
ed the rubber himself to win the game.
It wasn't until a doctor came down
I from the stands that they discovered
| a dead man had scored the tying run.
I Heart failure killed Thielman on that
I fateful dash around the bases.
The aspirants for this year's Cru-
I sader baseball team, under the tute-
lage of Assistant Coach Bob Pritchard,
I has already taken strides toward get-
! ting into shape for the coming season.
Tlie pitchers have been getting into
strand
' fine shape and will soon be able to
cut the ball loose; the catchers too are
| rounding into form and will make
j themselves known when they get be-
hind the bat, outdoors. The team this
I year faces a tough schedule; having as
j its opponents such teams as Albright,
Dickinson, Penn State, Moravian, Juni-
ata, Bucknell, and Upsala.
The track team at Susquehanna has
j fallen in defeat so often during the
past few years, that most people take
j it for granted that the school lacks tal-
jent in that line. This year, however,
quite a number of freshmen have
'shown ability; most of them having
had high school experience. The team
lacked high -jumpers last year, but
with Dave Carter, Blair Heaton, and
;Fred Warner, plenty of height should
be reached. MacQuesten is reported
1 to be a good miler and with Thatcher
and Troutman back in form, we should
have a good crew of distance men. Fred
Warner is also a weight man and his
| presence should be a real asset tc that
department.

J. V.'s End Season
With Fourteen Wins
This season. Susquehanna Univer-
sity's Junior Varsity basketball team
compiled a record which shows that
the team has been of the hustling sort
throughout the campaign. In nineteen
games the young Crusaders, coached
by Bob Pritchard .won fourteen and
lost only five. Although the yearlings
iWere not in any particular league, they
■ battled some of the best college fresh-
man lineups in the state.
The Pritchardites scored 655 points
; while their opponents scored 564. Stan
iStonesifer led the junior Crusaders in
I the scoring brackets, his totals showing
153 points. John Bice and Ed Sivic
came next, scoring 130 and 97 points
respectively.

By this time everyone had arrived,

"Cleopatra," an operetta-burlesque in
two acts, was written, words and music,

dress.
The entire supporting cast was not-
able. Karl Young sang in a way that
probably made Old King Tut very glad
to loan him his "alias" for the even-
ing. Antony, portrayed by Donald Bill-
man, was good for an unusually good
laugh despite his sad end. Billman, as
well as the other disappointed lovers
of Cleopatra; Pompey, played by John
Burke, and Caesar, played by Barner
Swartz. bore up under their disap-
pointment at the hands of Cleopatra
quite well, except, of course, for the
short time while they were dead on the
stage. They soon saw the foolishness
of that, however. Milo Mastovich, who
was billed on the program as "A Stu-
dent" has, we hear, marked this line
in red pencil on the extra programs
and already sent home quite a few
copies as direct proof of his activities
on campus.
Joe Mehalow, who did a superb piece
of accompanying throughout the en-
tire program was noticed and com-
mended by all present.
Those who took part in the chorus
as students were: Fred Schmidt, Dave
Coren, James Pierce, Edmund Koz-
lowski. Howard Baldwin, Joseph Pas-
terchick. Kenneth Bonsall, August
Kaufman. Willard Sterret, Melvin
Jones, Dave Carter, Paul Rainey,
Franklin Wolf. Neil Fisher, Harold
Elkins.
The production staff was made up by:
Director — Elrose L. Allison

Musical Director — David Coren
Stage managers — Barner Swartz, and
James Pierce.
Property Managers — Edmund Koz-

Dr. Wentc'i address on Saturday
morning contained the following ideas:
The Challenge of a Hostile World:
Henry Kramer in his book, "The Chris-
tian Message for a Non-Christian
World," implies that the whole world
!,«- nun-Christian. There is a diflfer-
enee though in the lands which are
mostly Christian as can be seen in
their culture, practices, and morals.
3 In retard to non-Christian religions
many phases of Christianity have been
taken over for instance emancipation
■of Women, preiiching to the masses,
and the use of modified versions of our
hymns. 3 Secularism within the church
in weakening the Church's influence.
4. Nationalism . . . nation and religion
are too closely united in many foreign
countries to allow conversion.
Rallying the Church: A great new
interest in the Church is being mani-
• f*-d by the Youth. The Church must
be:
1. It must be Christian with its cen-
ter in Christ, a Person, in the sense
that It's not based upon an organiza-
tion or creed which have both come
after the Church. But uses them.
2. It must be, since based upon
Christ, pulsating and pliable. The Gos-
pel is the Divine Seed Which is put into
the soil, whai grows out and thrives
in Christianity in a particular form.
The various forms are legitimate de-
pending upon sincerity. It is the Gos-
pel of Christ we are to give others
and not our form of it.
a boundless yearning for all the souls
ho are not Christian. There is a
great opportunity on campuses.
4. Ecumenical, universal.
Saturday evening a banquet was held
it the Seminary after which a Forum
was held in the Chapel at which re-
ports of the different commissions
were given. Sunday morning at the
College Church a Communion service
was held. The Reverend N. D. Goehr-
ing, Lutheran Student Pastor, Boston,
delivered the sermon in which he told
f God's questions to us: Where are
we going? Where are we living? In the
upstairs where there is beauty and the
gher values of life, or downstairs
where one dwells on the common cheap
things? How much do you know?
About yourselves, God and His reveal-
ing Power, the way of Life, the mean-
ing of the Cross, and the plan of God?
What is your party affiliation? Are
you for God or against Him? Are you
Christian?

The Pennsylvania Conference All-Star basketball team was selected by
THE SUSQUEHANNA staff to represent the outstanding players of the Sus-
quehanna, Moravian. Juniata, and Elizabethtown teams in the recent mythical
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Basketball Conference. The Staff's selection of

"The inter-fraternity bask e t b a 1 1
league will be conducted for the bene-
fit of the Varsity Basketball Sweat-
Suit fund." This announcement was
made by President Henry Keil of the
Intra-Mural Board following a meet-
ing of that body last Thursday even-
ing. March 9. So that a sizeable con-
tribution may be made to the fund, the
Intra-Mural Board has set an ad-
mission fee of ten cents per person
to all inter-fraternity basketball games.
The opening game of the league was
held last Monday evening with Beta
Kappa playing Phi Mu Delta. The
second contest will take place tomor-
row evening with Beta Kappa oppos-
ing Bond and Key. Games will be
played on succeeding Mondays and
Thursdays for the next two weeks.
The tip-off for all games is slated
for seven-thirty o'clck. Thetourney is
to be in the form of a double round -
robin with each team meeting its op-
ponents twice. Should there be a tie
at the end of the regular schedule, the
deadlocked teams will play one game
for the championship.
According to an Intra-Mural Board
ruling all members of the Varsity and
Junior Varsity squads who have won
any award whether major, minor, and
| numerals will be ineligible for par-
jticipation in the games.
The charging of admission for en-
trance to fraternity games is a depar-
ture from the practice of recent years.
However, the Intra-Mural Board jus-
tifies its action by the fact that a
worthy movement is started. There
has been no question that the Varsity
Basketball Squad is sorely in need of
sweat suits and it is hoped the pro-
ceeds from the inter-fraternity league
games will be sufficient to add a size-
able sum to the fund.
The schedule:
March 13— Beta Kappa vs. Phi Mu
Delta
March 16 — Beta Kappa vs. Bond and
Key
March 20— Bond and Key vs. Phi Mu
Delta
March 23— Beta Kappa vs. Phi Mu

March 27— Beta Kappa vs. Bond and

PHI KAPPA, GREEK SOCIETY,
IN REGULAR MEETING
On Monday evening, March 13, the
regular meeting of Phi Kappa Honor-
ary Greek Society was held in the club
room in Gustavius Adolphus. Walter
Drumm, president, had charge of the
business meeting after which John
Knaul read a paper dealing with the
"Hades of Greek Mythology". It is the
aim of Phi Kappa to show how Greek
culture is carried over into our modern
life and its present day value.

Shirley Pinkbeiner, veteran of four
performances during the past two
years, and member of the play produc-
tion class will be student director of
"Parents and Pigtails." Among her
chief duties will be that of organizing
the cast and directing early rehearsals
of the play while the faculty director,
Mr. J. C. Freeman, is busy with "It
Can't Happen Here." The full technical
staff for the two plays will be an-
nounced later.
Among the members of the Theatre
Guild who will graduate in June and
therefore take part in their last play
this spring are Louise West, who has
been a member of the Guild for three
years and who usually has charge of
makeup; Katherine Meyer, who will
make her fourth appearance, Gene-
vieve Cluck, who will make her third
appearance, and Marjorie Curtis, who
makes her first and final appearance
in a Theatre Guild production simul-
taneously. Among those who make
their first appearances in Theatre Guild

Concerning "Parents and Pigtails,"
Mr. James Freeman, faculty director
of the Theatre Guild, made the follow-
ing statement: "Although not yet, at
least, a Broadway play, "Parents and
Pigtails" need bring no apology from
the Theatre Guild as its substitute for
the production originally scheduled for
February. Rich in characterization, full
both of the extremely comic and the
sympathetically amusing, the play
shows a dexterous management of plot
which will keep any audience inter-
ested. Depending for its appeal upon
the "homey " and the familiar, "Par-
ents and Pigtails" is worldly wise, with-
out being disillusioned. Anyone who
has lived in a typical American fam-
ily or who has been acquainted with
one. will recognize dozens of familiar
situations and be grateful for the in-
sight which the author, George Sav-
age, has shown. He has brought to-
gether bedfellows rare in contemporary
drama, wholesomeness and dramatic
integrity."
The play will be produced by ar-
rangement with Row Peterson and
Company.

JULIA PETERS AND
FRANK BISHOP TO GIVE
STAR ( OURSE CONCERT
ed selling papers and magazines. Later
when the great Ossip Gabrilowitsch
came to his farm, forty miles from
Detroit, to persuade his father to send
him to Europe to study, he refused
courteously but flatly. When a short
time later, he became ill his father
promised him anything to get him well.
He promptly got well and went abroad.
Even after successful tours here and
abroad his father continued to oppose
music as a profession for him until
President Hoover personally invited
him to a concert he was giving at the
White House. He really thinks his
father enjoyed it. He never objected
to his music afterwards.
He was still in his teens when he
toured Europe— England. Central Eu-
rope and the Scandinavian countries.
Frank Bishop's recitals here and
abroad have met with scintillating suc-
cess and unparalleled acclaim from
both critics and music lovers. His solid
rhythmic sense and pronounced feel-
ing for line make his playing especially
remarkable for its broad repose and
serene fixity of feeling. His agreeable
stage presence, his freedom from affec-
tation, his sensitive singing tone of in-
gratiating character endow his pianis-
tic performance with the stamp of
genius.
The press has the following to say
about the abilities oi both Miss Peters
and Mr. Bishop.
New York Times:
"A moving interpretation. Miss Pet-
ers' phrasing, her diction, her under-
standing of the music were of a high
order and the audience responded with
spontaneous applause as she finished."
"A man of talent . . . Mr. Bishop
showed that he could sing on the key-
board and perform with brilliancy."
Le Menestral: Paris
"The fact which strikes one imme-
diately on hearing Mr. Bishop, and
which will doubtless rank him among
the best pianists of his generation, is
that, although of a romantic nature, .
he is able to realize and understand all
that belongs to the aesthete ..."
London Observer: October 4, 1937
"It was a pleasure to hear someone i
who is not a thumpist. and who is not [
tied by a conventional attitude to his i
instrument ..."
Toronto Globe:
"The pure and virginal loveliness of j
Julia Peters' voice suited admirably !
the role of "Micaela" and she won de-
served applause."

The life of Frank Bishop is varied
and exceedingly interesting to all who
have heard it. Until he was ten years
old, Frank Bishop had never heard
any music except those little times he
played by ear. Then one day he saw a
placard advertising Padcrew.ski — the
name was so intriguing and utterly un-
pronounceable that he went forty miles
to hear him play. That concert marked
his decision to become a planilt at any
tost.
His father was opposed to his being

DEBATERS REPRESENT S. U.
AT STATE CONVENTION
Susquehanna University was repre-
sented at the fourth annual Pennsyl-
vania State Debaters' Convention by
Vincent Frattali and Harry Thatcher.
This convention, held at State College
last Friday and Saturday, was made up
of debaters and coaches from nineteen
colleges and universities throughout
Pennsylvania and adjoining states. The
problems considered were: Foreign
Policy. Recovery, and Academic Free-
dom. The procedure at the convention
was similar to that of the Senate.
The convention convened for the j
first time Friday morning at 10:30 p. j
m. The address of welcome was given
by John H. Frizzell, head of the Di-
vision of Speech at State College. Af- ''
ter a general roll call and after the :
convention had been given instructions
concerning the topics under consider-
ation, the delegates adjourned to their ;
respective committees.
Each school sent two "bill-backers"
If represent the school on one of the |
three topics mentioned above. Each ]
delegation drew up and took to the
convention mimeographed statements
of their proposed plan. Mr. Frattali
and Mr. Thatcher entered the com-
mittee on foreign policy. In these com-
mittee meetings, which were carried or
under strict parliamentary rules, all
the plans were considered and one
general report drawn up to represent
the sentiments of the committee ir
general. In each of the three commit-
tees, the group dissatisfied with the
report of the majority, drew up a min-
ority report. These majority and min-
ority reports were then presented tf

Position of Alert Isolation
Urged In Present Crisis
Very infrequently does THE SUSQUEHANNA refer editor-
ially to the various practices which are prevailing in interna-
tional circles. However, we believe that it is only fitting that
we present what we think is the opinion of college students
concerning the affairs among the nations of the world. We
also wish to give our idea of the college students' advice to
those who represent the power of the United States.
During the past week, there were presented in the daily
newspapers stories which told of another international "hi-
jacking." Undoubtedly we are all of the opinion that acts such
as those which were committed should be prevented and that
means should be taken for the curbing of the forces which are
surely leading the world into another great holocaust. But,
we should not be unmindful of certain other factors which
would necessarily enter into the consideration of the United
States taking an active part in an attempt to restore proper
conduct among European nations.
Within the knowledge of all of us are the occurrences of
two decades ago when our country entered another war to
make the world safe for democracy. At that time, the United
States was the "rich uncle" to certain European powers and
almost single-handedly financed the last year of the conflict.
It was agreed that our debtor nations should make yearly pay-
ments in order to reimburse our nation for the money which
it loaned them. However, up to this time, only one nation has
paid its debt and that is little Finland whose payment repre-
sented only a very small part of the total United States World
War loan. The other countries have repeatedly defaulted their
payments and have criticized and taken Uncle Sam severely
to task for expected recompense. All this occurs while we have
on every hand evidences of the suffering and obligations which
the United States incurred by coming to the aid of those coun-
tries which resent our demanding payment.
In the infancy of the United States, the father of our coun-
try tendered a few words of counsel which have come down to
us during the years. When he was retiring from active public
life, George Washington urged that the United States stay out
of all foreign entanglements. From a man of the experience
of the first president these words come to us as well-chosen
fatherly advice. While they may not be at all times applicable
still the basic principle is sound. The interests of the United
States diplomatically are not very closely related to any diplo-
matic interests of European countries. The interests which do
exist are not so binding that they can not be easily terminated.
Europe's struggles are primarily her own and the United States
should remain clear of them. We should allow those nations
across the Atlantic Ocean to settle their own differences for
they themselves can only bring about a suitable settlement.
The United States is not sufficiently acquainted with the under
cover workings in European affairs to take part in any attempt
to solve Europe's problems.
We advocate a position of alert isolation for the United
States in the European situation. Our country should be aware
of its own interests and see that they are not infringed. Should
our interests be violated, we will be the first to advocate steps
to punish offenders. But, until our interests are flaunted, we
urge, as do countless other patriotic Americans, that the powers
that be in the United States turn a deaf ear to all European
entreaties for help.
Reading "Six Characters In Search
of an Author" makes me think that if
Pirandello had been interested in the
newspaper instead of the stage he could
have written a very amusing article on
"Six Bits of News in Search of a Col-
umn."
Perhaps it would have been some-
thing like this:
"Six little ems and an en or two
were wandering across the page look-
ing for a writer. Finally they looked up
over the linotype and saw there a
typesetter, or at least something in a
green eye shade. And the father em
said to the typesetter, "Mister, won't
you let us spread out and tell you a
few things." And since the typesetter
was in a good humor, and besides, he
was bored with the dull advertising
copy before him, he relented and al-
lowed it. So the ems let loose, spread
out, and this what they spelled:
What a nice dance the other night.
Among the girls who were there, (the
few I knew) it is very hard to pick a
personal choice for lovliest of the even-
ing. Maybe we could say Madalene
Hayes.
When will inter-fraternity council
and Sunbury be having another dance?
Let us know, boys, and we'll see about
having an Inter - sorority - Sunbury
dance before.
Now. Baldy. for instance is very loyal
to the campus girls. In fact, he is quite
a Lochinvar and Cassanova put to-
gether. I could tell on you. Baldy, but
the girls might like it less than you.
For the eeriest, spookiest sensation
you have heard in a long time, stand
outside the Con some night and listen
to the skeletons (alias water pipes) in-
side. "What a dice game they're play-
ing," you'll think.
The other day someone was having
quite a bit of trouble between the
ditch and the car he was driving.
Know who? Well, who usually ends
up in the ditch around here?
Shoemaker's latest: "Pretty son my
ankles are going to be suing my arches
for non-support." And while we are
quoting, Fisher is alleged to have made
a statement the other day that all Sus-
quehanna peaches were tough. Also
for the quotes we have it that Whitey
has been asking Buck Rogers permis-
sion . . .
Play Day was quite a success. The
highlight was undoubtedly the per-
formance Saturday afternoon by that
good trouper, Perky Finkbeiner. Every-
thing started to happen on Friday
night with the arrival of the girls from
Cedar Crest. Their staying at the Gov-
ernor Snyder actually caused the boys
to threaten to go in. (Spare the
thought)
Among the alumni who we were glad
to see again were Essie and Tubby and
Eleanor Jones and Tim.
Those two ever - in - to - something
friends. Critchfield and Cady were roll-
erskating the other day. Makes one
think what it would be like if the whole
campus were suddenly to go roller
skating conscious. Spring, you know,
has brought on stranger things than
that. It even made Ace's stay longer
than usual. Just whom, I would like to
know, was he calling up that led him
to think that the freshman girls an-
swer as if they were used to talking
over the phone. Oh, yes as we were
saying. Critchfield and Cady. Did you
hear about Critchfleld's new boots?
A mere look-in on the social room
dancing last week and I heard the
following remarks:
"Did you ever notice the way Heapy
looks at the girl with whom he dances?
As if he were interested in only her."
"Look at old Heckler going to town
with the Windber special there."
"Melissa and Phil seem quite the
devoted couple, don't they?"
And speaking of devoted couples,
don't forget Ruth and Burke."
Ah, me, here I am in quite a quan-
dary. I'll bet even Pirandello couldn't
finish this effectively, and so suffice it
to say,
PEG.
Afterthought: Hank has been re-
placed by "Gardenia." in Perky's af-
Sarcasm Discussed
By Feature Writer
"THE CAMPUS COLIC"
Another dance has become a mere
memory in the scrapbooks of some
people but for others it will remain a
monumental record of a marvelous
time. If you doubt, which of course I
know you don't because I know that no
one ever doubts my word, ask Howdy,
and shall we add Schuckie?
And if you won't take their word
for it why go and ask their other and
as some say their better half, in their
"affaire de coeur."
Did you know that Reese and Schuck
do not believe in Cupid? It seems
that since Mussie got control in Italy
and has helped to influence the work
of Cupid they no longer take that god
as a synonym for their tenderest pas-
sion but rather Reese takes his favorite
Welsh friend Freyja, and Schuckie has
taken his old favorite, Eros. Cupid is
dead, long live Freyja and Eros.
It is an amazing thing to me how
quick some women can put on an even-
ing dress. Why, when I was chauffeur -
ing for Messrs. Herr and McBride we
drove to the house only to find that the
ladies had not started to dress yet.
Shocked beyond words, in fact dumb-
founded, I was ordered to park and
wait for the young ladies. Following
the boss's orders, I parked while he
went in the house to wait for the
young things. I had no sooner parked
when they came out again. I swear
that it didn't take them more than five
minutes to get into their contraptions.
Isn't that time just too good for words?
Hello Fatty. How are you today? If
at first you don't succeed try, try
again.
Beautiful women, please stop haunt-
ing me in my dreams. I can't sleep, I
can't eat; in fact, I'm going crazy. Af-
ter seeing all those beautiful creatures
at one place, at one dance, what can
one do except to go crazy? There they
were, that perfectly adorable gown
surrounding the subject, flaring out
into a wide ring of black velvet, cut
very plain at the neck, and then Buzz
stepped forth in my dream in a dream
dress of white something or other; and
Si,s in simmering green. Won't they
ever stop? I'm glad it doesn't happen
every night because what would I do
if it did? Everyone knows that against
beauty man is just a fool, right,
Howdy?
Last week, if you read my column,
you noticed I was first with the latest
in announcing that Mr. Sanford Blough
was not giving the girls on the campus
a break because of Louise. Yes, I was
the first to mention Louise but it seems
even I was fooled. I don't think any
one saw her at the dance. I do not
think it was nice of him to tell me
about her and give me the implication
that he was going to his first college
dance and then turn around and leave
me holding the bag. After this, the
charge will be doubled for your ad-
vertising.
It seems to me that the dance was
quite full of imports. Perhaps the pil-
lars of The Hall are lonesome but the
wolves are just a little bit frightened
by the wolverines. They don't know
which way they will jump next. The
pillars and the wolves are more or less
static.
Congratulations. Fisher. We were
glad to see you at the dance. I hope
you had a good time Jonnie.
Where was Susie?
The varsity team needs warm up
suits. Let's have a inarch of dimes,
and I do not mean politics, but just
enough for some suits. I would really
like to see the team have them. I
don't know but some people say that
some day I may be on the varsity. You
know that a year is just a fleeting mo-
ment of time. So what does a ten min-
ute wait mean to me? I'm serving no-
tice now Templin, that I'm going after
your suit, and so Please, everybody,
won't you spend a dime and go and
see the intrafraternity games.
That's all,
P. S. I bet I would look nice in an
Orange and Maroon suit.
It seems with all this very lovely
weather there would be more people
out taking walks and hikes. I know
that one person at least appreciates the
weather because she got up on Sunday
morning before breakfast, mind you,
and took her hike. We hear that
Grade was going to go alone but at
I he last minute consented to have her
friends with her.
S
It has often occurred to me whether
ideals are priceless gems of the jewel oi
life, or not just philosophic airings
which you read in fairy stories. It can-
not be denied that reality is a neces-
sity of life, and serves to level our at-
titudes, but even a diet of caviar would
become distasteful. Just as a blotter is
what you look for while the ink is
drying, so some higher thoughts can be
helpful in drying a blot of character.
There is a dusty scrapbook lying
about my room somewhere. It is just
overflowing with suggestions of trust,
purity, and other attributes of per-
sonality which at first seem boring and
too intangible to be interesting, but it
has often helped when everything
semed to go wrong. It begins by saying
that all the good maxims have been
written; it remains but to put them in-
to practice, but then it rambles on in
consoling verse.
Edgar A. Guest will probably not be
known to literary posterity as a master
of poetry, but his humble utterances
are universal in application. He says:
He spoke a clever, cutting thing
And a moment's laughter gained.
The laughter died, but the hurt and
sting
Long afterward remained.
Wit is an admirable trait and shows
mental ingenuity, but sarcasm can not
possibly be regarded as wit. We all
know how easy it is to put a person
in his place with an insulting remark
when we are on the defense. More
than likely we succeed in the attempt,
but how do we react when the blade
is two-edged, and we become the butt
of a cutting remark in return?
It seems to me, a sentimental soul,
that too many of us resort to this ven-
omous weapon when a slight jab to
the jaw wouldn't make much differ-
ence. It has been widely said that the
tongue is a dangerous weapon, and
the more it is used the sharper it be-
comes. The big trouble is that most of
us think that if we shut our mouths
once in a while we will be arrested for
carrying concealed weapons.
There may be some percentage to re-
gressing to sarcasm against those who
aren't too attractive to us, but we even
wield this juvenile hangover against
our friends. It isn't a rare occurrence
to hear two fraternity brothers at
tongue's distance to each other. This
would hardly pass as a manifestation
of the much -lauded ideal of brother-
hood, but it is done.
Is it expecting too much from life
to hope to be able to live with each
other on a mutual basis? Sir Walter
Scott told us that the race of man-
kind would perish if they ceased to
aid each other. Personally, I doubt if
young Walter and his highland ideal-
ism would be accepted today, and be-
held us taking the liberty of regarding
ourselves as sheep, and those on the
other side of the fence as goats.
We criticize our school; we do it
bitterly. It is right that we should
want to change and get places, but
we won't do it with our house divided
It's imperative that all cooperate if
they hope to arrive at an end. Ten
years from today it will be said that
"we went to school together." Doesn't
it seem foolish, then, to waste the be-
ginning of a good friendship while we
still have so much in common!
As a tree is bent, so does it grow
and if the tree is really bent far
enough there is more restful shade.
However, men aren't trees, and if they
were we would be sceptical of a weep-
ing willow. Let's try, for a while, to
trust each other, and see if it doesn't
bring results. It did to Joayuin Miller.
You have seen his poem before. Per-
haps it has been worn out by the press,
but its familiarity and applicability tl
still beautiful.
In men who men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;
In men who men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot,
I hesitate to draw a line
Between the two. where God has not.

DABBLING IN DRIVEL"
Some time ago I unthinkingly re-
marked that I've always had a secret
desire to become a columnist. Our
ever-on-the-job editor-in-chief heard
this and immediately pounced on my
neck to tell me of the immense .satis-
faction one gets from seeing one's
writing in print, and that here was a
chance to practice my ambitions. I
stammered a refusal based on being
too busy or something to that effect,
but the editor's hundred and seventy-
five pounds loomed above me threaten-
ingly. The result? Here I am, rack-

column.

Paramount releases its latest ex-
travaganza in its picture, ARTISTS
AND MODELS ABROAD, which stars
Jack Benny. Joan Bennett, and Mary
Boland. The story of this film deals
with a theatrical troup Which is strand-
ed in Paris. Buck Benny, alias Buck
Roswell. is the leader of the troup
which is locked out of their hotel
rooms. Buck meets a Texas oil tycoon
named Harper, whose charming daugh-
ter joins the show. The elder Harper
also associates with the players and
after having some amusing escapades
with the show plans to leave. However,
Benny believes the old man to be a
thief. He demands his arrest, tears up
a big oil contract which Harper has
signed and tries to exonerate the
daughter. To the delight of all con-
cerned. Harper is not a thief and Buck
really did him a good turn by tearing
up the contract. ARTISTS AND MOD-
ELS ABROAD provides a wealth of
amusing, and hilarious entertainment.
Benny and Miss Bennett are very well-
cast and submit admirable perform-
ances.

ROLLING PLAINS, starring Tex
Ritter, Harriet Bennett, Snub Pollard,
and Hobart Bosworth, is the attraction
at the local Stanley theater. The film
presents the story of life in the wide
open spaces of the west with all of the
thrills and glamour associated with
that part of the country. Naturally,
life isn't all smooth for Tex Ritter and
his pals, but Tex. in the approved
western fashion, manages to win.
ROLLING PLAINS gives us all of the
thrills of western battles and is a pic-
ture which does not want for action.
Harriet Bennett is a lovely heroine
who is a help to Ritter when he op-
poses a band of dangerous outlaws.
For sixty minutes of hair-raising ac-
tion, see ROLLING PLAINS.
Monday, March 27
Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda,
and Lee Bowman are the stars of THE
MAD MISS MANTON, an R. K. O.-
Radio picture. The story of the film
deals with the exploits of the mad-
cap Miss Manton whose actions supply
the press with reams of copy. Barbara
Stanwyck characterizes young daugh-
ter of wealth to the well-known T."
However, after she has left a long
string of conquests behind her, she is
finally tamed. Henry Fonda is the
young man who subdues her. The
manner in which he accomplishes his
conquest of the girl is one of the most
amusing sequences portrayed on the
screen. The picture is packed full with
comedy, and also has its share of
drama. For fine entertainment see
THE MAD MISS MANTON.
Tuesday, March 28
A great story is brought to the screen
with. Paramount's filming of ZAZA
Claudette Colbert and Herbert Marsh-
all have the stellar roles in this film
which tells the story of a girl of the
streets who rises above her lowly sta-
tion through the efforts of the man
who loves her. Miss Colbert, Holly-
wood favorite of long standing, plays
the part of Zaza and adds another to
her 16ng list of successful character-
izations. Herbert Marshall is another
well-established star who appears in
this film. He is the man who befriends
Zaza. The cast of ZAZA is well-chosen
and lists many favorites of the screen
and stage. Bert Lahr also appears in
the film. He adds the comedy touch to
the story with his manner which has
made him a Broadway favorite. Don't
miss seeing ZAZA.

Mark Twain's great story of Ameri-
can boyhood is presented in Metro's
latest success. HUCKLEBERRY FINN.
Mickey Rooney, current favorite of
Hollywood, is cast as the famous char-
acter of fiction. Walter Connolly, Wil-
liam Frawley. Rex Ingram, Lynne
'Carver, and Jo Ann Sayers are the
stars of the film. The story deals with
the life of Huck Finn, the son of a
town drunkard. Huck is taken into
the home of two old maids and is the
bane of their existence with his ir-
responsible exploits. The boy decides
to run away from home and takes with
him a Negro servant. The father makes
himself feared by the youngster but
the old man is killed in a boat wreck.
Huck encounters some gamblers who
are going to swindle the two daugh-
ters of a dead man. However, the plot
is foiled. A thrilliing part of the film
is reached when Huck rides up the
' river on a big river boat in order to
I save his Negro friend who is going to
i be hanged on the charge of killing
Huck. In the denouement, everything
; comes out well for Huckleberry Finn
and his friends. You should not miss
HUCKLEBERRY FINN, it is a picture
which is typical of America.

Fraternity Council
Check Aids Varsity
Sweat Suit Fund
The Intra-Mural Sweat Suit Fund
was swelled last Thursday morning
when President Frank Laudenslayer of
the Inter-Fraternity council presented
a twenty-five dollar check to Henry
Keil, president of the Intra-Mural
Board at the chapel period. The do-
nation made by the fraternity group
comes from the proceeds of the recent
Inter-Fraternity Spring Ball. Presi-
dent Keil stated that the check makes
the purchase of sweat suits for the var-
sity basketball team almost a cer-
tainty.
The Sweat Suit Fund originated with
the Intra-Mural Board's plan to con-
duct the basketball games of the inter-
fraternity league as benefit contests
with the admission proceeds from the
games going to the fund. At present,
there is one game remaining to be
played in the inter-fraternity tourna-
ment. Together with the fraternity
council gift, the money received as
game admissions makes a sizeable fund
which will go a long way toward the
purchase of the sweat suits.
Coach A. A. Stagg and Assistant
Coach Bob Pritchard, acting in an ad-
visory capacity, have proposed that the
choice of sweat suits be made by the
Intra-Mural Board. When the fratern-
ity games are completed, and the
amount of money available known, ma-
chinery will be set in order to buy the
best possible suits. The Board has sig-
nified its desire of getting the suits
before the end of the present school
term.
S
Spring Football
Voted Out
Now, since the President has express-
ed his views on reductions in taxes
and government spending, the busi-
ness man and many others may be dis-
illusioned with the real meaning of the
word. Appeasement does not mean
lower taxes, reduced government ex-
penditures, or direct catering to indus-
try; does not mean the death of the
New Deal. Appeasement means no
further "new experiments"; modifying
the old experiments; education of the
business man to an understanding of
world economic changes.
The President publicly stated that
tax change by Congress cannot be
tax reductions unless the Congress at
the same time votes to cut government
ses. These reductions, according
to public opinion, would bo in relief,
public works, social security, and var-
ious other items which today give work
to a large volume. The number then
unemployed, according to public opin-
ion, would soon be absorbed by indus-
try which has automatically prospered
because of tax reductions. President
Roosevelt states "If there were some
guaranty that this would happen it
would be worth considering. I doubt,
however, whether this would be met
with public approval if it were tried
and the results were not attained."
Modification . . . Social Security
Somewhat in line with the above
mentioned appeasement — modification
of old experiments — is Secretary Mor-
ganthau's testimony before the House
Ways and Means Committee that it
might be well to alter the social secur-
*ty pay-roll taxes to keep the levies
lower than had been scheduled for the
next three years. It was decided that
tore is no necessity for accumulating
* huge old age insurance reserve fund
such as would be built up under the
PWsent scale of pay-roll tax increase.
Instead, a pay-as-you-go system will
be adopted which will effect an earlier
start of old age insurance payments
^d larger individual payments —
coupled with a possible delay in the
falsing of the pay-roll tax rates.
Pe a« , e . . . SEC and Stock Exchange
Still speaking of appeasement, the
SEC and the N. Y. Stock Exchange
have joined hands and come to a mu-
tual understanding. An explanation of
the SEC's attitude came last week in
a letter written by William O. Douglas,
acting chairman of the SEC, to Wil-
"am C, Martin, Jr., President of the

Dr. Russ Lectures
On Hitler's Aims
On Friday morning in chapel Dr.
Russ delivered another in a series of
lectures on current national and in-
ternational problems. Dr. Russ dis-
cussed European conditions at the
present time in view of conditions as
aroused by the activities of Adolph
Hitler.
In our modern civilization we are
confronted by a new type of aggre^ion
in the world. It is a bloodless war with
| the aggressor nation simply marching
I into the aggressed territory and taking
I control of the situation. This is evi-
! denced by the recent European capers
of Adolph Hitler and the German
Reich. There is a trend toward Ger-
Jman domination in which the German
; people the world over are expected to
take part. There is a trend toward
unification of the Hapsburg nations
j along the Danube Valley much as in
'• the time of Bismarck,
Dr. Boh raised this question: "What
will become of Hitler?" He answered
the question by referring to the bril-
liant military career of Napoleon and
his very sudden downfall. This is a
verv typical example of dictators and
militarists. Dr. Russ stated that al-
ready the knot is being tied for the
[downfall of Hitler. "Dictators always
I look good until the last five minutes."
Commentators the world over are see-
j ing a weakening of the Rome-Berlin-
| Tokyo axis.

Susquehanna's football forces will
forsake formal spring gridiron work-
outs for the first time in several years.
This announcement was made follow-
ing a meeting of the football candi-
dates last Monday, March 27. The
football men voted against the holding
of regular spring practice because of
the pressure of spring sports and the
fact that classes and laboratories will
not allow a regular attendance of all
men taking the workouts. However,
Coach Amos A. Stagg revealed to this
writer that a group of passers and re-
ceivers will work out two mornings a
week until the end of school.
Because of cutting out spring drills
it was decided that the squad is to re-
port earlier than usual in the fall. The
date of the initial pre-season drill is
set at Wednesday, September 8.
Twenty-eight men have thus far sig-
nified their intention of being on hand
for the fall practice. This amount
makes an unprecedented number of
upper classmen for Coaches Stagg and
Pritchard to work with. Of this num-
ber, eleven are backs while eighteen
are linemen. However, only four of
the backfield candidates are equipped
with previous college experience. Lou
Baylor has been a regular blocking-
back for three seasons and is being
heavily counted upon by Coach Stagg.
"Bucky" Rishel and Bill Davis alter-
nated at the fullback post during the
past season, but it is entirely possible
that Davis will be shiften to the run-
ning position. The remaining back is
"Monk" Meyers, shifty-running fresh-
man, who should live up to the promise
which he showed at times in the past
campaign. The other backfield men in-
clude: Horace Kauff man, August Kauff-
man, Ken Lyons, Ed Rogers, Sanford
Blough, Jerry Lieb, and Art Wilson.
Incidentally, Wilson showed great pro-
mise in the early practices of last sea-
son but was laid low by an attack of
appendicitis. Should he be fully recov-
ered, Wilson is expected to partly fill
the shoes of Bobby Bastress, the Cru-
saders' great running back, who will
graduate.
On the forward wall, the outlook pre-
sents a brighter hue than does the
backfield situation. Eleven lettermen
remain from last year's line. These in-
clude: Tom Lewis, gigantic tackle;
D Matthews, and brother Dick, both
rds; Phil Templin, center; Joe
so, Bill Pritchard, Jack De-trick and
Blair Heatcn. ends; Harry Mervine.
rd; Sam Fletcher. Ed ELsenhart.
les, Other linemen are: Ear] Dear-
lorff, Joe Campana, Ernest Baye,
ds: Wilmer Kllnger, and Vincent
Prattali, ends; Paul Wilson and Jake
Rinehart, who will fight it out with
[•< mplin for the varsity pivot post.

Annual Program
The Susquehanna University Concert
Band, under the direction of Mr. El-
rose Leon Allison, will present its tenth
annual concert on Friday, April 14, at
8:15 p. m. in Seibert Hall Chapel. The
concert is under the auspice of the
Susquehanna University Concert Banc".
The band will present itself to the
nublic for the first time, in concert in
its new uniform, which is a gift from
the class of 1938.
This year the Concert Band is ex-
ceedingly fortunate in not having to
secure a guest artist from any other
musical group outside of the band it-
self. It is the pleasure and honor of
the band to present to its audience as
'he feature of the program "The Trio-
teers." The members of this group in-
clude Messrs. Bonsall. Swartz, and
Fisher.
The main portion of the program will
include compositions from the works of
the following masters: Beethoven,
Wagner, Moussorgsky, Korsakoff, Gold-
man, Bucalossie. and Tschaikowsky.
This annual concert of the Susque-
hanna University Concert Band is one
of the greatest concerts given in this
part of Pennsylvania and compares
highly with concerts given by bands
of colleges and universities that are
many times larger than Susquehanna
University.

Final plans are being made for the
annual Sophomore Hop to be held in
the Alumni Gymnasium, Saturday
evening. April 15. Tills will be the first
dance of the spring season. The bud-
get has been great lv enlarged so as to

This dance will be open to all mem-
bers of the student body. Members of
the Sophomore Class have been in-
dividually assessed in order that the
price of this dance may be kept to the
low fee of $1.50 per couple.
Four members of the editorial staff
of the "Susquehanna" are planning to
attend the spring convention of the
Intercollegiate Newspaper Association,
at Dickinson College, Friday and Sat-
urday, March 31 and April 1.
Henry Keil, editor: Reed Gulick,
managing editor; Grace Fries, news
editor; and Donald Ford, sports edi-
i tor. are those who will represent Sus-
I quehanna at Dickinson.
The tentative program, as sent to
I the "Susquehanna" staff by conven-
I tion chairman. George S. McGill, of
i Dickinson, will be for Friday: regis-
tration from 10 until 12 a. m.; gen-
eral convention sessions, 1:30 p. m.;
group session (editorial, news, sports,
and business). 3 p. m.; reception in
Denny Hall, 4:30 p. m„ and dinner,
: 6:30 p. m. In the evening the pro-

■ at 10 p. m.
A business session, to include elec-
! tion of officers, will be conducted by
President John L. Dougherty. Jr., of
Alfred University, Alfred, New York, at
, 10 a. m. on Saturday. A ball game has

Drexel to be played at 2 p. m. The
j final banquet, at 7 p. m., with presen-
I tation of contest awards, introduction
I of new officers, and a speaker will con-
j elude the convention program.
The I. N. A., which was started by
i Drew Pearson while he was an under -
, graduate at Swarthmore College in
1 1923, is an organization of college and
university newspapers seeking "to pro-
mote cooperative relations between its
members and to develop the highest
standards of college journalism." Sus-
quehanna is one of the thirty-one
Middle Atlantic colleges and universi-
ties belonging to the association. Mr.
Pearson recognized the need for co-
operation and exchange among college
editors, and he set out to meet this
need. Since that time, the I. N. A. has
maintained the exchange and boasts
of having helped many college papers
to develop into first-class publications
through it.
The membership includes weeklies
and semi-weeklies ranging in size from
the "Belfry" of Moravian College for
Women, with 350 circulation, to the
"University Hatchet" of George Wash-
ington University, with 9.000 circula-
tion.
The convention at Dickinson is one
of the two annual conventions of the
I. N. A. Another will be held in the
fall, with a different college member
acting as host. To these conventions
an effort is made to have professional
journalists come to speak and advise.
College editors and business managers
meet to discuss their problems. The
association sponsors a between-conven-
tion program of student polls, make-
up and style improvement. This pro-
gram is in the hands of the executive
officers: a president, vice president and
secretary elected annually from the
student newspapermen and women,
and an executive secretary and execu-
tive-treasurer elected every' three years
from faculty advisers of the member
papers.
Competitive contests are sponsored
j for I. N. A. cups, eight of which are
awarded at each convention. There
| are four classifications, editorial, news,
sports, and advertising, and the pap-
ers are divided into two divisions based
on circulation. Judging is done by
practiced journalists, among whom
have been Stanley Woodard of the
Herald -Tribune, Carter Glass. Jr., of
the Lynchburg. Va., News, and Robert
; S. Allen of the Washington Merry-Go-
Round column. Three issues of the
Susquehanna have been entered in
these contests

An All School Exam File?
"Who has a copy of last year's examination?" This is the
question which is usually heard ringing through Susquehanna's
dormitories and fraternity houses at any test or examination
time. There is a hunt which almost reaches a feverish pitch in
the attempt to find previous tests. Students find questions
which have been asked by their professors to be very valuable
in pre-examination study. The student is given some idea of
the type of examination to expect and also is aided in getting
some inkling of what the professor considers to be of impor-
tance in the course. Not only on our own campus are former
exams used for study but we find that there is a prevalence of
the practice among students in other schools. In fact, we might
say that on other campuses, the practice is carried to a higher
degree than it is here. It is known and recognized that fraterni-
ties at other institutions have well kept files of past tests which
are frequently referred to by the members of the individual
houses. To our knowledge this method is not used at Susque-
hanna. No matter how the search for examination copies is
pursued, there are always some people who do not have the
advantage of being able to study with questions that have been
used as a guide. Perhaps it is their own lack of enterprise which
does not afford them this aid, but we believe that all students
should have the same opportunity in their study. Recently, we
read of a plan which is in use at another institution whose
name, unfortunately, we have forgotten. At this college, an
all-school file of examinations which have been used is kept by
the administration in the college library. The test copies are
available to all students. The method of study receives admin-
istration sanction. It is recognized that the practice will exist
whether it is allowed or not and so, the fairest solution to the
problem was to make all former tests common student prop-
erty. To all persons who have given any thought to the prob-
lem, this should certainly appeal as a fair solution. We believe
that it would be to the benefit of both students and faculty
of Susquehanna University, if a similar plan were adopted on
our own campus.
S
Off the Grass!
The season of the year is upon us when the vegetation on
the campus is once again coming to life. All around us we see
signs of a re-awakening of the work of nature which has made
Susquehanna's campus one of the prettiest small college cam-
puses in the state. At this stage of the year it is necessary that
we take all possible care to protect the lawns and grassed areas
on the campus. The grounds department of the administration
has already posted signs which ask us to refrain from walking
on the grass. This is done in a spirit of precaution for it is
realized that grass is easily killed when stamped into the soft
ground. Then too, marks made by shoe heels are not conducive
to the cultivating of smooth, velvety turf. We have a beautiful
campus. We all like to admire and boast of it. Let's help to
keep it so that it will continue to be an object of admiration
and pride.
S
Bright Prospect for Spring- Sports
While we are on the subject of re-awakening, we wish to
point out the fact that all signs indicate a rejuvenation in Sus-
quehanna's spring sports program. Not in several years has the
outlook presented as much promise as it does right now for
Susquehanna successes in the three athletic departments in
which our teams will compete. Ambitious schedules have been
arranged for the baseball, track, and tennis teams. Among the
candidates for the different sports there is a great amount of
enthusiasm. The weather has been ideal and has enabled the
teams to get an exceptionally early start. It is safe for us to
say that with student backing, we can anticipate one of the
most successful spring campaigns that Susquehanna has ex-
perienced in many years.
After the long winter someone new
has hit the campus. That is, at least
he hasn't been here since this time last
year. In a private interview to your
correspondent, he gave the impression
that conditions are somewhat changed
since last year. In the first place he
found a lot of new people and missed
a lot of old ones. Romance being his
specialty, he noticed quite a few recent
twosomes. In fact he even claims to
have had something to do with them,
incurable matchmaker that he is.
For instance, there is the compara-
tively new romance of Yount and War-
ner. Lila and Jake Reinhart were seen
together the other night, too. How,
this newcomer wondered, would they
have gotten together if it hadn't been
for him? Nice couple, though. Al-
though not new, Specht and Heapy
have a noticeably new enthusiasm of
late.
Buck Rogers got back his passport
to Mount Carmel this week-end and
broke down and went home— first time
since Christmas.
In fact, he was just one of the few
who had an interesting week-end.
Betty and Jean were off campus for
their favorite dish— ham. Rothermel
and Bennage came in Sunday from
parts unknown. Hmmm! Mary Emma,
too, was off campus and came back
with a very interesting note. May we
see it some time. Mary Emma?
Two of the fairer of our young prom-
trotters went merrily to F. and M. Pat.
let it be known was even in the receiv-
ing line.
Recently, it seems, Benion tore him-
self away from Sunbury and actually
ate a few meals at the house.
Well, I have told you everything I
know, and now let me ask a few ques-
tions.
Who all took the air and sunburn in
kle's car on Saturday?
Where has Perk been getting her
supply of hat pins? (No, the answer
has nothing to do with Hank, but gar-
denias and roses might furnish a
hint.)
What group of girls recently got
caught in the rain Saturday afternoon
in Harrisburg? And to think that
Schnure forgot her umbrella!
What baseball player was so lazy
that he hopped a ride home from prac-
tice the other evening via the P. R. R.?
i Up to your old tricks. Ford, riding the
rods. You must get over your Horse-
shoe Curve ways.)
Where did Frattali get his "Prince-
ton" overalls?
Why, in three years, has Peg Shees-
ley, who gets so many phone calls,
lived in three of the four rooms which
are farthest from the telephone?
What play cast had the pleasure of
hearing actor Coleman get "daughter"
mixed for "dollar" in a recent rehears-
al? Must have been those Science fic-
tion magazines he was reading.
Where was Burton Richard this
week-end?
Who was the gentleman alluded to
in the earlier lines of this weekly lot
of semi-stale gossip? Mr. Suring, of
course.
Did Leon have a nice time on his
hike. Sunday? Everyone else seems to
have.
How are my old friends, Ruth and
Burke, getting along? But, there is a
romance which needs no furthering
from outside columnists!

Numerous questions have been thrust
at the author of this column by stu-
dents of S. U. Therefore, it is my pur-
pose this week to record for everyone
these questions, plus adding solutions
by referring those who are interested
i I'm sure that includes each and
everyone of you) to your fellow stu-
dents who hold in their grasp the an-
swers to these weighty problems. Shall
we start?
1. Is it really true that Governor
James is going to visit Art Wilson any-
day now? Answer: See any resident of
Ha.s.singer Hall.
2. What is Sam Rogers going to do
about Shirley, now that he was seen
out with Angle once again? Answer:
Glenn Hauff.
3. How much veracity is there to
the statement that Bob Herr bought
two fraternity pins in order that he
can still show the boys he has his pin?
You'll have to see Bob personally about
that one.
4. Did Kinney really get a board bill
from Mrs. Bingaman? See Saunders
for complete details.
5. Why does Eleanor Smith always
seem to arrive a few minutes late at
Seibert when Don. the Sunbury boy. is
escort? Answer: Ask Smithy herself.
6. Is it true Coleman went to a
dance in Northumberland, only to find
there wasn't any? Ask any of the boys
at the Phi Mu Delta house.
7. If Harry McBudge (he's a tennis
candidate now) would swallow a bottle
of ketchup, would he resemble a hu-
man thermometer? Reese says yes.
8. How are the new roomies. Fur-
man and Burke, getting along by now?
See residents of Selinsgrove Hall.
9. Why Hutch's interest in debates
and debaters? Answer: Confer with
Robert Booth.
10. is the Nye, Saveri, Owen trio a
history-repeater of the Anthony, Cleo-
patra, Caesar fracas of ancient times?
Personal questioning must be admin-
istered on that one.
11. When will Sanford Blough re-

take an interest in the occupants of
Seibert Hall? See Lila Barnes or Irv
DeRemer.
17. When do the fellows get a look-
see at Sis. Howdy, as bragging is all
that is found on the subject? See
Reese foi the lowdown.
18. When is there going to be a
Sunbury-Inter-Sorority Dance? This
question has been asked by at least
twenty fellows with eager looks in their
eyes, especially Sivick and Schuck.
19. Why, oh, why does Peg have the
audacity to borrow anything from Pi-
randello when he rates so low among
European dramatists? Comment: one
would think she could ascend to the
top-notchers if any copying of style is
to be done.
20. Who is known as Fatty on the
campus? Gracie can tell you.
Well, attentive and intellectual read-
ers, I leave the rest to you. May you
keep your noses in good shape as you
delve into the mysteries of S. U.'s
campus. THE CHILD.

DABBLING IN DRIVEL"
For the past week I've been strugg-
ling against two forces, neither of
which make for efficient scholarship.
Up to now I've managed to defeat the
one, but I'm gradually succumbing to
the other.
In the first place, I've been tempted
to repeat a prank pulled by some of
the students at Lafayette recently.
Somebody got the brilliant idea of
sending out invitations for an elabor-
ate dinner at the dean's house, which
was phoney, of course. Can't you pic-
ture Dean Gait, all set for a quiet
evening at home, with about twenty-
five guests arriving at the front door?
Get thee behind me, Satan!!
My second foe has been spring fever,
and I've really got it. I've seen it com-
mg for some time— the traditional rob-
ins and budding trees, accompanied by
a laxness in studying and an increase
in the number of campus couples. An-
other definite sign of spring is the
short hair-cut sported by too many of
the male students. Some of them look
really cute, but others look— well, our
opinion can't be printed. The prize. I
believe, goes to Hauff, especially when
he wears his hair up for evening, and
is dressed in tails.
Now that spring is here (or isn't it),
wouldn't it be grand to have a car on
the campus? Especially a car like
Topper drives in his new picture. What
a job! Not that I wouldn't be satisfied
with a Ford, of course, but with Top-
per's model I'd be the envy of the
campus.
And speaking of pictures, it is a great
relief to have a film like "Pygmalion"
come around. Leslie Howard does a
marvelous job as a phonetics teacher,
• and there is an idea for a novel and
different profession), and the new fe-
male find opposite him has what it
takes for success. But maybe I liked
the picture because it wasn't another
^loiified wild-westerner, A few more
like "Jesse James," "Let Freedom
Ring," and "Stage Coach," and I'd
probably be riding over the plains be-
tween Selinsgrove Hall and Seibert on
(Concluded on Page 4)
Title: "Sleepless Nights."
Date: Any night.
Time: Not before midnight.
As the curtain rises, the hero wan-
ders into the dormitory hall, seemingly
propelled on his way by the strength
of the ether waves of his clamorine
radio. He is disconcerted, for he yells
at the top of his voice:
Hero: Who has may book? I'll betcha
that Slug has it. (He proceeds to
Slug's door and brings down a heavy
paw on panel, with intermittent out-
bursts.)
Slug: Shut up and get to bed. I gave
it to Butch.
Hero : It's too far to walk down there.
• He calls to next floor,) Hey, Butch,
throw that book up, willya?
Butch: (in sleepy, but emphatic
tones) Shut up and go to bed!
Hero: 'wanders down the hall to hi*
room again, giving vent to the latest
tune in a voice which disguises the
title.)
Curtain.
Such a scene is not an unusual one
"when good fellows get together." a$
a matter of fact, it is too usual; es-
pecially if one is naive enough to try
to get some sleep at nights. Popeye
leads with his chin, it is true, but he
defies Man, not Nature.
Can it be that this younger "col-
legiate generation" has lost all vener-
ation for its most cherished tradition,
sleep? We should pride ourselves on
heterodoxical attitudes, for tradition
is reputed to be the enemy of progress,
On the other hand, there are still some
few backward individuals of me age
more interested in giving expression to
the physiological necessity of their an-
atomy than they are in "Light Out" or
pre-breakfast reducing exercises.
Perhaps your correspondent is eccen-
tric in his grievance, but he is confi-
dent that he is expressing the senti-
ment of the other half of the dormi-
tory who "also" occupy the building
and. therefore, "also" are entitled to
some voice in the matter.
My opinions would probably be stig-
matized as "narrow" by the offenders,
but I should like to give birth to one
thought that a waiter's position must
be a most discouraging occupation. No,
not the actual provision of manna for
the tables, but to have to rise from
his bed every morning. He whose
senses do not function quite up to par
in the early hours of the morning must
be bewildered when he becomes aware
that his auditory apparatus is being
pierced by the blaring music of the
same radio which he heard, between
vocal outbursts, when he retired the
night before.
A tactful suggestion that purposeless
activity after one o'clock in the morn-
ing isn't the most advisable pastime
is fruitless. A complaint to the highly
organized "committee on domestic re-
lations" brings but a negative grunt,
event at the protest of more than your
choleric correspondent.
An attempt was made earlier in the
year to suggest that the least a body
could do to show his appreciation for
the civil constitution of his neighbors
was to bar his portal when he engages
in a bull session. Some enlightened
youths, however, are of the opinion
that their golden morsels of philosophic
scandal should be conveyed to the ears
of all; so determined are they that
they keep their vocal cords tuned to
sufficient volume so that their audi-
bility could not possibly be avoided.
Freedom of the will has been a
priceless doctrine to American youth
for several decades. We are informed
that it provides for a wholesome ma-
turing of personality, but we are alsc
cognizant of the necessity of puerile
discipline. My purpose in addressing
this effervescing thought is not to ask
for administrative discipline. Subtle
suggestion has not yielded manifesta-
tions of cooperation so far, but I'll give
expression to my undying faith in hu-
man nature by suggesting again:
Your correspondent has seen several
regimes in the dormitory, but never a
reign of terror comparable to this one
The dormitory was once known to be
almost quiet after midnight, and is
pleading desperately for a rest from the
wild night life it has been forced to
live this year. Let's cooperate?

Phi Mu Delta Holds Crusader Nine Holds
Lead In Final Round Intensive Workouts
Of Frat Basketball For Bucknell Tilt
-<e>
The last round of the Inter-frater-
ity basketball tournament is nearing its
completion. To date the Phi Mu Delta
team is in the lead with three wins and
no losses, while the Bond and Key en-
try is in second position. The stand-
ings and percentages to date:
W L Pet.
Phi Mu Delta 3 1.000
Bond and Key 2 1 .667
Beta Kappa 4 .000
The Bond and Key team and the
Phi Mu Delta lineups got off to per-
fect starts by trouncing the Beta Kappa
lineup in their first encounters. In the
final game of the first round the Phi
Mu lads stepped into first place by vir-
tue of their 29-20 win over the Bond
and Key team.
Led by Harry Klepko and Joe Zavar-
ich the Phi Mu's got off to an early-
lead and at the quarter led their op-
ponents, 10-2. The second period saw
but little scoring as both teams played
tight defensive games, the half ending
with the Phi Mu Delta team in the
lead, 12-2. During the first half the
tond and Key lads failed to tally a
field goal, both of their points being
made by fouls.
Soon after the second half got under
way the trailing lineup scored its first
field goal and the rest of the period
saw both teams trading baskets and
the Phi Mu lads led, 23-10 when the
quarter ended. During the final period
the Bond and Key lads began to creep
up on their opponents but they were
not able to penetrate the Phi Mu Delta
defense often enough to ever threaten
taking over the lead. The game ended
29-20 in favor of the Phi Mu Delta
team, the winning lineup thus taking
over the first place position. .
Klepko, Zavarich. and Lalich stood
out for the winners while Keil and
Kinney sparked the attack of the los-
ers.
The Phi Mu Delta team as well as
the Bond and Key lineup took wins in
their first encounters of the second
round, at the expense of the Beta
Kappa lads. Led by Lalich and Zav-
arich the Phi Mu's defeated the Beta's
49-24. The first half was fairly close,
but the league leaders went on a scor-
ing spree during the final quarter and
succeeded in doubling the score of their
opponents.
Monday evening the Bond and Key-
lads opened their second round of the
tournament with a 66-21 victory over
the Beta Kappa team. Sparked by the
play of Bastress and Ken Kinney, the
winners had little trouble in building
up a sizable lead.

Beta's participated. Jack Shipe led his

Susquehanna's Orange and Maroon
baseball candidates received their first
opportunity to sport then- ability last
week when Bob Pritchard, Crusader
baseball mentor, put his charges
through several strenuous workouts.
Although the aspirants for this year's
'nine have been working ouc for only a
;week on the local diamond they are
rapidly getting used to the feel of the
i ball and regaining their batting eye.
With only little more than two weeks
: of practice before the opening game
Coach Pritchard is putting the pres-
sure on the candidates to puv them in
l the best possible shape.
According to Coach Pritchard the
lettermen from last year along with
the freshman candidates this year rep-
resent the best baseball material to
appear on Susquehanna's diamond for
more than a decade. With such an
1 array of promising material for this
season's nine the Pritchardites hope to
capture the majority of the games,
despite the fact that the thirteen game
schedule is plenty stifl.
Captain Glenn Hauff, big right
hander from New Freedom, is playing
his last year of baseball for Susque-
hanna. With three years of collegiate
I baseball behind him he is expected to
j reach his peak this year in intercol-
i legiate baseball competition. "Lefty"
Krouse, sophomore left hander, was
| credited with two victories last year
and he is also expected to turn in a
fine performance on the mound this
season. The potential hitting power of
the Crusaders' veteran combination is
expected to be a big factor in winning
games this season according to Pritch-
ard. who has high hopes for a banner
year for the baseball team.
The Crusaders play their opening
game with Bucknell at Lewisburg on
April 18. and play a return tilt with
the Bisons on the local diamond on
April 25. Moravian. Juniata, and
Elizabethtown. members of the Bas-
ketball Conference, are also on the
Crusader's card this season on the dia-
mond.
Before the Orange and Maroon nine
takes to the field Coach Pritchard is
expected to make several changes from
last year. Clair Kaltreider will cavort
at the shortstop position and Don Ford,
leading batsman last year, will be sta-
tioned at second base.

Spring has officially arrived! With
its arrival, the aspirants for the spring
sports teams have taken to the turf of
University Field to display their tal-
ents. The baseball team has been drill-
ing daily, aspirants for the track team
have been burning up the cinders of
the quarter mile oval, and the tennis
men have finally taken to the outdoor
courts.
The baseball team is far advanced in
its training, but it needs to be, because
the opening game is played soon after
the coming vacation. Since those who
follow the Crusader diamond men are
constantly comparing our lads with
major league stars, let us do a little
random comparing. In the catching
department, Bob Cornelius is almost a
twin for Danning of the Giants. Henry
Keil's constant chatter makes him an-
other Hartnett, and Tom Lewis has
been nicknamed "Shanty" because of
his physical build which compares to
that of the redoubtable Hogan who ate
his way out of the major leagues. Don
Wert goes about his first base position
in an orderly and quiet manner and
possesses real field and batting ability.
We like to compare him with Suhr of
the Pirates. Bob Pritchard suggests
that we place the optimistic second
sacker of the Crusaders. Don Ford, in
the category with the "Great Art
Shires." Clair Kaltreider takes care of
his shortstopping duties in much the
same manner as the "players' player,"
Gehringer of the Tigers. Harold Bol-
linger makes his actions speak in much
the same manner as Hack of the Cubs.
In the outfield, Carl Helt would pass
for another Lloyd Waner, Bob Bastress
can chase fly balls almost as well as
Terry Moore. John Schleig could pass
for Beau Bell, and if Joe Zavarich were
a lefthanded swinger and thrower,
we'd wager that he were Paul Waner.
As for the chuckers. big Glenn Hauff
is staging a comeback as is his physical
equal. Parmelee of the A's, Lefty
Krou.se pitches in the effortless man-
ner which matches him with Gomez.
If John Gensel had control we would
not be able to place him with "Wild
Bill" Hallahan. and the diminutive
tosser in the person of Al Wellman
works in almost the same fashion as
the Giants' Gumbert. There we have
it. but what will we have after the
thirteen game schedule which the
Pritchardites will soon begin? If our
guess is right, the locals should follow
the lead set by the basketball team
and win quite a few over the breaking
even mark.
OVERHEARD:
As we stood behind the backstop the
other afternoon, we heard one lad ex-
plaining to Coach Pritchard. "Bob. get
some of the boys in back of the back-
stop to start shouting, 'Walk him,
walk him,' so that I net used to hear-
ing it." That's right; it was big Tom
Lewis.
PRITCHARDS MEAL TICKET:
Capt. Glenn Eugene Bailey "Blubber"
Hauff. who expects to win a half dozen
games while twirling on the mound
this season.
JID YOU KNOW THAT:
Penn State lost six members of its
baseball team by graduation and that
with the Crusaders having a veteran
team, a win is expected to be chalked
up on the books for the locals on May
24, when the Pritchardites meet the
Lions.
The next time this column is sched-
uled to fill up space in the weekly, is
after the Easter vacation. Nine big
Rahs for the vacation!

Track and field records of Susque-
hanna University which were believed
to be lost when the old gymnasium was
razed by fire, have been gradually un-
earthed through the efforts of Coach
Amos A. Stagg, Jr., and Luther Gross-
man, former Susquehanna director of
athletics. Of the record holders, Bill
Swarm, former Crusader great, is top
man. Swarm turned in record marks
in the 440 yard run. 380 yard run, and
the broad jump.
The record marks which are listed
below give Susquehanna's present
tracksters something at which to aim.
It is unlikely that many of these marks
will be shattered in the coming cam-
paign.
100 yard dash — Meyers — Susque-
hanna vs. Bucknell, 1932—10.2.
220 yard dash — Toomey — Susque-
hanna vs. Bloomsburg. 1936 — 21.9.
440 yard run — Swarm — Susquehanna
vs. Bucknell, 1932—53.2.
880 yard run — Swarm— Susquehanna
vs. Washington. 1932—2:02.
1 mile run— Fairchild — Susquehanna
vs. Elizabethtown. 1928—5:02.5
2 miles run — Rhine — Susquehanna

The most amazing picture to be re-
leased by Hollywood comes to the local
theater in the form of TOPPER
TAKES A TRIP, which stars Roland
Young. Billie Burke, Constance Ben-
nett, and Alan Mowbray. The film
feature!; the trick photography which
has been developed by United Artists
and we find Constance Bennett doing
a disappearing act whenever it is in-
advisable for her to be seen. Roland
Young plays Topper, the slightly hen-
pecked husband of Billie Burke. Miss
Burke is engaged in spending the so-
cial season at the Riviera, where she
is in the company of a friend who has
high social ideas. Young at the insist-
ence of Connie Bennett goes to Eu-
rope to restore his wife to her usual
mode of living. He is accompanied by
Miss Bennett, who acts as his advisor.
An amusing scene takes place when
Miss Bennett, dancing with Young,
suddenly becomes invisible and Young
is apparently dancing with no one.
This scene is one of the many mirthful
sequences of the film. We might say
that TOPPER TAKES A TRIP Is al-
most an continuous laugh from the
opening shot to the end. Roland Young
is his usual passive self and is easily
led by Constance Bennett. Billie
Burke is superb as Young's somewhat
scatter-brained wife. Alan Mowbray
has the part of a butler to Young and
lives up to his proven reputation as a
confirmed scene-stealer.

PECK'S BAD BOY AT THE CIR-
CUS stars Tommy Kelly, Ann Gillis,
Edgar Kennedy, and Billy Gilbert. This
is an attraction for both young and
old. It presents the story of the life
of an adventure loving boy. In it are
combined the laughs and tears which
come to all youngsters. Tommy Kelly
is a youngster who is able to take his
place beside the foremost boy actors
of Hollywood. Kennedy and Gilbert
are favorites of long-standing and
never fail to bring their share of the
laughs. Life under the big tent is por-
trayed in this picture. For seventy
minutes of real entertainment, see
^CK'S BAD BOY WITH THE CIR-
CUS.

The story of a life which was almost
wrecked by false conviction in a crime
is brought to the screen in Warner
Brothers' dramatic classic, THEY
MADE ME A CRMINAL. John Gar-
field, newest addition to stardom,
Claude Rains, and Gloria Dickson are
among the screen favorites who make
up the cast. The story centers about
the travels of a fugitive from justice
who U falsely accused but manages to
escape prison. He- becomes a hunted
man. However, he finally meets the
right girl who helps him to find him-
self again. Also in the film are the
"Dead End" kids whose antics as rough
and tough kids of the slums brings
roars of laughter. THEY MADE ME
/ CRIMINAL is truly one of the fine
pictures of the current season. It
should be on vour ••must see" Hat.

Effects . . . Trade War With Germany
The difficulty of economic war, as
with physical war, is that it injures
both sides. American manufacturers
will be denied materials they need, and,
of course, the less Germany sells in
America the less she can buy here, thus
increasing our own unemployment.

The Rumanian-Nazi Pact, besides giv-
ing Germany free ports on the Dan-
ube and Black Sea. allows Germany-
great oil concessions and greater im-

Most of the products that the U. S. has
