SU Artist Series Features Tremendous Array of Talent With the academic year 1961-62 well underway, inquisitive minds turn to the social calendar for this ensuing year. Among the many activities on S.U.'s campus is the Artist Series which provides the members of the student body with an opportunity to improve their cultural background as a basic element in their Liberal Arts educa- tion. This year's series, featuring many outstanding artists, should prove to be most enjoyable and appealing to the diversified interests of all students. First in the series will be Rich- ard Dyer-Bennett, a prominent iolk singer and balladier, who will appear an October 16th. "The Portable Nash," a show including a bumper crop of pet peeves from cradle to cocktail party and a reading of inimitable verses, will be presented on De- cember 7th by the one and only Ogden Nash, the well-known Broadway writer. The program of January 8th will consist of a lecture given by Victor Reisel, the world-renowned columnist blinded by an acid at- tack while investigating the un- derworld. , Lovely strains of music will fill the air on the evening of March 12th with the appearance of the newly world-famed mezzo-soprano Jennie Tourel.

SU Library Reveals New Look for '61 -'62 As a part of the new look at Susquehanna, the University li- brary is affecting many changes These improvements will facili- tate the student body's use of the library. Remember how you rushed to get that book back to the library after two short weeks last year? That problem has been solved — the borrowing period has been extended to one month. However, the library reserves the right to call back a book after two weeks if it is requested. This lengthened borrowing period is much more convenient, not only to the student body, but to the library staff as well because of eliminated cler- ical work. Another reference room con- taining pamphlet files and refer- ence works has been added to ac- commodate research. A direct reference desk will be operative most of the time in the new room. Soon to be installed in the up- stairs portion of the library are special lights between the book cases. Two experimental lights are temporarily in effect, but these are to be replaced by ceil- ing lighting. The Susquehanna University Collection, composed of all ma- terial relating to the University, is being transferred to the room at the north end of the main reading room. This will prove to be an invaluable aid to those do- ing research on the university. Of interest to all students are the library exhibit cases. The case to the right of the library entrance will feature the guest of the coming Artist Series. Re- cently featured in the other case were Japanese books purchased with a $200 gift to the library from the Japan Society.

Crusaders Drop Lycoming 7-0 In 1961 Opener; Green Stars The Crusaders of Susquehanna University opened the 1961 football campaign in fine fashion on Saturday night by defeating Lycoming College 7-0 before an estimated crowd of 5,200 in the Sunbury High School Stadium. Sponsored by the Sunbury Kiwanis Club, with most of the proceeds going to charity, the contest gave area fans a look at two well-coached and inspired units. The Garrett-coached eleven gave all evidence that they are attempting to match last years reputation as one of the leading defensive teams in the nation by holding the Lycos to 98 yds. in the air and on the ground. Lycoming, led by Marty Allen- baugh, a 205 lb. guard from Bal- timore. Md., proved to be a much improved ball club over last sea- son's edition. The Williamsport team held Susquehanna scoreless until the last four minutes of play when fullback Larry Kerstetter punched his way over from the two yard line to gain the margin of victory. The first quarter saw the ball being controlled mostly by Ly- coming, who made two drives into S.U. territory only to have both of them halted by the heads- up play of Susquehanna's forward wall. The first time the Lycos had the ball they moved to the S.U. 22 yd. line where the Crusaders took over. Late in the first quarter Lycoming had another threat fail when sophomore end Mike Rup- precht intercepted a pass on the 18 yd. line. In the second quarter Lycom- ing club was unable to put any- thing together chiefly because of the hardhitting of the Crusader defensive line led by Little Ail- American candidate "Butch" Di- Francesco and center John Row- lands. The Garrettmen were hurt throughout the second quarter by penalties, but started to move with seven minutes remaining in the half. With Green and Ker- stetter doing most of the running and Hauser grabing two passes, the Crusaders moved to the Ly- coming 25 yd. stripe. Here the half ended when a field goal at- tempt by Tom Samuels was wide The second half opened with S.U. moving to the 10 yd. line of Lycoming only to be thwarted by a holding penalty. Lycoming twice had the ball taken from them. Once left tackle Dick Rohland recovered a fumble and on the last play of the quarter halfback John Luscko intercepted a pass on the Lyco's 40. The Garrettmen moved to the 25 yd. line where Tom Samuels h;ul another field goal attempt fall short. With nine minutes re- maining in the game, freshman Sam Metzger intercepted a Ly- coming aerial on the midfield stripe With Erdman. Luscko, and Kissinger running and Green passing the Crusaders moved to the two yd. line. The clock show- ed 3 28 remaining when Kerstet- ter bulled over for the only touch- down, and Samuels added the ex- tra point.

Second-class postage paid at Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. The Test of Time It seems just about everyone has "welcomed" the Class of 1965. So, instead of boring you with a batch of official cliches, we deem it more fitting to give you a bit of unadorned advice on college life in general. Since you first reached a decision to attend college (and perhaps before", you have been bombarded from all sides by warnings of the tremendous toil and sacrifice which are requisite to get that prized sheepskin < it's really only paper). We will simply say that it requires nothing more than average intelligence to obtain passing grades in college courses. What is re- quired is a perpetual cognizance of when to work and when to play. Incoming freshmen generally receive a healthy injection of the purported terrors of college life. College is easy— if you can budget your time. New students also receive heavy doses of the importance of main- taining "good grades." We say passing grades are important. Whether a student gets an A or a B in a course is secondary to the all-important factor of how much was learned from the course. A parrot can be taught that Thomas Becket was an Archbishop of Canterbury or that Giovanni Boccaccio wrote The Decameron. Facts come easy. Ideas come with much more difficulty but are infinitely more useful. Many people have departed from Susquehanna to face the cruel, cruel world armed with a degree, an astronomical cumulative scho- lastic index and an equally astronomical maze of isolated and useless facts. They leave without a single creative idea in their heads. Like the forgotten football hero, this unfortunate falls back on past academic "glories" when he quickly discovers that professional employers want idea-men, not quiz show contestants. P.G. An Address to Remember Three years ago. at the inception of the Religious Emphasis pro- gram on the Susquehanna campus, the students and faculty had the privilege of being addressed by Pastor James Singer. Recently those members of the current campus family were again treated to this rare pleasure. The Convocation program for the opening of the school year 1961-62 listed Charles E. Chaffee as the main speaker. When tragedy struck the Chaffee family, it was necessary' for an alternate speaker to be chosen. The administration wisely chose Pastor Singer. Pastor Singer's address was the highlight of the program and held the audi- ence spellbound for its duration. To the mind of this writer, Pastor Singer delivered one of the finest addresses heard of this campus in the last four years. We at Susquehanna have been fortunate in our selection of speakers during recent times, but there were certainly none who did a better job than Pastor Singer. The well-delivered, well-conceived address was the topic of stu- dent discussions for several days to follow — a rarity at S.U. It even replaced the old standards in the snack bar and late night "bull ses- sions." Certainly the administration is to be congratulated on its fine choice. A special word of thanks should go to Pastor Singer for an excellent address. And, in passing, a thought to the S.C.A. that an hour of this man's valuable time during RE. might well set attendance records for that particular campus program.

To our readers: The editorial policy of this paper is to make it as much your paper as possible. We welcome all "letters to the editors" with the following pro- visions. All letters must be type- written, double-spaced, and sign- ed by the sender. They must be submitted personally to one of the co-editors. Names will be with- held on request, and we reserve the right to withhold any letters not written in a true newspaper manner. The following are print- ed in connection with a fresh- man's view of S.U. and were the best letters received by the CRU- SADER. Eds. Dear Editors: "Square your 'dink', Frosh!" This is the cry heard by many freshmen who find themselves thrown into a completely new- form of life. The former football hero. May Queen, and President of Student Council all bow to the lowly status of "Frosh". Their status in high school is left be- hind just as pigtails and hop- scotch were forgotten when the initial step toward maturity was taken many years before. The freshmen have a great deal of adjusting to do and a short time in which to do it. With the help, and maybe a little teas- ing of the upperclassmen, they are being initiated into campus life. Perhaps the simplest, but never the less the most effective, method designated is the use of a small two letter word. This word, of course, is "hi". This greeting has opened many doors for both the freshman and upper- classmen. Of course, the highlight of the week to most freshmen was the entertainment by the sororities and the fraternities. The favors and memories of that evening will make the coming weeks of testing by the "Sophomore Tri- bunal" a little more bearable. The freshmen in the coming weeks will certainly learn many new things, but "Orientation Week" has indeed been made a pleasant and enjoyable experi- ence. Ruth Ann Smiley Dear Editors: After weeks and days of pre- paration and anticipation, I final- ly arrived as a freshman at Sus- quehanna. My family and I were greeted by smiling members of the Orientation Committee. My room is located on the third floor — a fact which slightly dismayed the fellows who carried my boxes and suitcases upstairs. Carting all that luggage was certainly a job. There must have been moun- tains of assorted baggage moved in that sweltering heat! If I had any qualms about being left alone to face the world, they rapidly dissipated as I met my fellow classmates. Right away I could sense the friendly spirit of the campus; I think the "Hi!" tradition is a great institution. Soon I was meeting so many peo- ple that I felt that I was facing a whirling merry-go-round of faces and names. Beginning at six o'clock on Tuesday morning an alarm clock rang at five minute intervals throughout our dorm Finally, in desperation, I got up and went to breakfast. We took placement tests that morning. The most hectic day of the week was Wednesday, registration day. The S.U. cheerleaders, undaunted, they carry on! ! Little Things Mean A Lot Some few years ago there was a song at the top of the best seller list entitled, "Little Things Mean A Lot". Perhaps the truth contain- ed in such down-to-earth philosophy often escapes us in the modern rush of today's society. Man seems ever more concerned with large, even gigantic, proportions while forgetting, overlooking, or just ignor- ing the smaller details. The importance of "little things" was, in part, what Nevil Shute used as the theme in his last novel, Trustee from the Toolroom. The world around us is not the only place where a tremendous rush exists. Our own small world here at Susquehanna is becoming ever more effected by similar conditions. Expansion programs, in- creased enrollment, additional applications annually, and bigger and better facilities make up the greater part of the "big rush" at S. U. In this rush, beneficial as it has proved to be. we feel a great in- justice has been done. Almost annually the Crusader has published an editorial concern- ing the lack of school spirit while praising the untiring efforts of the cheerleaders. Last year this was not necessary since school spirit reached greater proportions than in any recent year. So enthusiastic was the spirit that Coach Garrett commented favorably on it several times and thanked those responsible. The Coach acknowledged the need for spirit and the effect it had on his team. With prospects for a bigger and better season in the fall of 1961, the cheerleaders, who are almost solely responsible for organizing the rallies and engendering the student spirit, made one, simple re- quest — new uniforms. To those of us who have been on the campus for the past several years this seems small indeed. The fact that all the present uniforms do not match, do not fit as well as they should, and have been used for as long as anyone cares to remember, seems to justify this request. Yet, for some reason, the request was refused! ! ! How this could have happened or why is certainly difficult to understand. The cheer- leaders have never failed to appear at a home game and often attend away games. Suppose that one day they failed to appear? Oh, what a storm of protest would then be heard. Our sports teams are out- fitted in the best possible equipment. New football uniforms this year, new track and soccer uniforms, a new set of baseball suits recently, and yet, not enough money in the expanded athletic budget for eight cheerleading uniforms? ? ? How can this be? The cheerleaders have decided that, if necessary, they will at- tempt, with the help of some campus organizations, to purchase the uniforms themselves. If it comes to this, we sincerely hope that everyone will be as co-operative as possible. We realize that there is much of importance, far greater impor- tance, than cheerleading uniforms involved in the operation of a school like Susquehanna. We feel that the administration is to be commended on its expansion program, greater variety of courses, and increased facilities. But we firmly believe that the case of the cheerleaders is a definite error. As a result of our conviction, we make this effort in their behalf with the knowledge that someday, someone will hear a single small voice crying out in defense of a "little thing" he fears lost in the shuffle. Little things do mean a lot and the impression our cheerleaders make on visitors and even here at home is certainly of importance. L.B. What an experience! After wait- ing for what seemed like hours, we were photographed and then set free to fend our way through the complexities of registration. It was as warm and humid as a Turkish bath in that room, and as we waited in line after line, we soon felt as though we would wilt. When I finished, I was pro- foundly relieved. That same day I dismally watched books con- sume a large hunk of my bank account. Wednesday we escaped the tire- some waiting in lines by relaxing at the Powwow Dance. But un fortunately we didn't escape the warm weather — we only wished that the dance had been held out- side. The songfest and the fraternity and sorority night were high points of the week. The many activities of Orienta- tion Week helped us become acclimated to college life. How- ever, we soon found ourselves a bit low on energy. After Convocation we began the long-awaited classes. Now we were really beginning our college studies. We had more adjusting to do on Friday: we began wearing our dinks and name buttons, and car- rying the other items required by Sophomore Tribunal. Orientation Week has served its purpose well, I believe, for all during the week we have en- countered numerous opportunities to familiarize ourselves with the people, the customs, and the campus of our new Alma Mater. The Orientation Committee de- serves a lot of credit for their service to us. Nancy Corson Wednesday,, September 27, r961— THE CRUSADER— Page 3 Professor Magnus Reviews and Previews the SU Concert Choir This article is compiled in order to help new students understand the function of the Susquehanna Choir as well as the demands of any growing organization. It is an evaluation of individual standards as reflected in the growth of the choir. It includes criticism and praise and outlines steps which will be objectives for this year's choir and also for future choirs at Susquehanna. Many points developed here may be applied to other aspects of campus life and it is hoped that one may use these in bettering himself as an individual, and consequently, his own organization. — - For the past couple of years, the choir has been rebuilding from a somewhat depleted state. Obviously, there have been many obstacles and setbacks, but stead- ily it has grown into an honorable ensemble although there is still much to be done before it can be called an organization in the truest sense. What is an organization? An organization is a group of related parts which have been arranged into a unified whole. An organ- ization has to have members who have a desire to be organized and who are willing to be dedicated, faithful, patient, and optimistic. One learns a great deal from experience. Problems relating to attendance, responsibility on the part of the individual and general attitude are things which must be understood and solved by all members if the choir is to grow as an organization. Professor Magnus, director of the choir, solidly upholds the principle that theoretical thinking, as it per- tains to things musical, has little value when compared to practical application. Since he was brought up under strict discipline, it is sometimes difficult for Professor Magnus to understand why a dedicated sense of responsibility should not be a part of the atti- tude of every student. Allegiance is synonymous with stewardship — a term which people at Sus- quehanna, by virtue of the col- lege's church affiliation, hear so frequently but often choose to construe as a loosely used term rather than an applied ideal. An organization is only as strong as each individual in it. Responsi- bility to one another ought to be a prized ideal. and a creed. Another aspect which lends success to a group is "wholesome competition." A group has to have a need or an intense desjre to become better. Professor Magnus emphasizes this aspect by saying that unless every in- dividual feels this competitive spirit, an organization will cease to progress; with it, a group can grow with unlimited possibilities. Auditions for the choir, open to the entire student body, were started on Saturday, the 16th. In- terested singers are still welcom- ed to audition by appointment. Auditions are conducted on a competitive basis and the only objective prerequisite is the abil- ity to read a melody of average difficulty at sight; plus, of course, the possessing of an acceptable singing voice. A student will come into the choir for the en- ( Continued en page e) SOCIAL CALENDAR Wednesday Sept. 27 Soccer: S.U. vs. Lycoming (H) 2:00 Saturday Sept. 30 Soccer: S.U. vs. Wilkes (A) Football: S.U. vs. Ursinus (A) House Phi Epsilon Party, 7:30, Fraternity Alpha Xi Delta Lounge Dance, 8:00 11:00, G.A.

The feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist (Septem- ber 21), brought mixed reactions from those students who attended the chapel program for the day. For many students, it was their first contact with the Lutheran Liturgy. While Dr. Zimmer did a fine job of introducing the Li- turgy in the short time allotted to him, there are many questions still to be answered. This is the purpose of this series of articles. Let us begin with a definition of terms, since that is the only way in which we can be sure that we are all talking about the same things. The first term that must be de- fined is Church, since we must understand what the Church is before we can attempt to ascer- tain its purpose and its means of carrying out its purpose. The word Church has many mean- ings, but for our purposes let us trace it etymologically. The noun, Church, is a derivative of the Greek word kyriakos, which means "belonging to the Lord." The adjective ecclesiastical comes from the Greek word ekklesia, which means "called out." Com- bining both of these meanings, we have a very deep and rich description of the Church; it is those who have been "called out" in order that they might "belong to the Lord." This description has two major implications; (1) it is a living organism composed of living peo- ple — <2) of people who are in some way different from their neighbors, a difference which theologians call "redeemed." Since this fellowship of the re- deemed belongs to the Lord, our next question must be: What does the redeemed owe to the Redeem- er? Winfred Douglas gaves us two answers: "Worship is the primary and eternal activity of redeemed mankind" and "The object of redeemed life is the praise of God." Dr. Luther Reed concurs: "Worship is the primary function of the church." (Next week we define worship and look at its various aspects.) Summer Improvements Highlight SU Campus Students of Susquehanna Uni- versity have arrived on campus this fall to find a larger, more modern atmosphere than at any time previous in the history of the University. Two new dormi- tories were constructed from a nine hundred thousand dollar government loan. Seibert Hall underwent several new changes. The complete re- novation of the stately white col- umns outside, plus reconstruction of the basement, including the new spacious campus bookstore, lobby, addition to the Horton Din- ing Hall and the faculty lounge create a more pleasing atmos- phere. Also undergoing changes this summer was Selinsgrove Hall. The two upper floors formerly containing dormitory rooms for men were converted into admin- istrative offices. Bogar Hall re- ceived a new coat of paint, and acoustical ceilings were placed in all class rooms. Looking over the football field brings into view the newly erect- ed grandstand of steel and con- crete, increasing the seating ca- pacity to 3500 persons. An im- provement at 530 University Ave- nue reveals a guest house on the first floor. New faculty offices plus a new faculty residence are located at 597. 599, and 600 Uni- versity Avenue, respectively. Additions and complete interior renovations were added to the Phi Mu Delta fraternity house. A temporary location for Phi Ep- silon fraternity is now found on University Avenue. The improvements seen in the S.U. campus over recent years offer testimony to the school's progress. It is up to the students to respect the new property and thus maintain S.U. 's high stand- ards. In Memoriam S. U. Marching Band In 1st Appearance The Susquehanna University Marching Band for 1961 has a new look. This year's organiza- tion will be an all-male unit made up primarily of a brass and percussion instrumentation. In addition to the bandsmen, the unit includes a drum major and a five man color guard. Assisting Mr. Steffy, Director of Bands, in planning drills and music are Lynn Lerew. drum major, Judy Blee, and William Molin. A student planning com- mittee consisting of William Mol- in, Judy Blee. Robert Dreisbaugh, John Grebe, and Gerald Mum- mert began work on September 7th. The full unit began rehearsals on September 10th. Because of the group's unique instrumentation, much of the music used has had to be specially arranged. The "Marching Brass and Per- cussion'' made its first public appearance at the Sunbury bowl game on Saturday evening, Sep- tember 23rd. In addition to a pre- game band drill the group parad- ed in Sunbury during early eve- ning. The group will perform at all home games and pep-rallies during the football season. Dr. Arthur H. Wilson Rare indeed is the truly hum- ble man: rarer still the great man who can maintain his hu- mility. In Arthur Herman Wilson one could easily observe both these fine qualities so often sought and yet so rarely realized. To those students, faculty and friends who knew Doctor Wilson it goes without saying that he will be missed, sorely missed. The freshmen class which did not know Dr. Wilson cannot be- gin to realize how much they have lost in his passing. Those students who have been fortunate enough to study under him can realize the vacant spot his death has left on the campus. Dr. Wilson devoted his life to Susquehanna. He, along with Dr. Gilbert and Dr. Russ, made up the triumvirate which, for many years, maintained Susquehanna's high academic rating . In his life at S.U. he served as Acting President and Dean, Lanthorn advisor, and faculty advisor to this Crusader newspaper. The roles he performed so well in- eluded teacher, aide, assistant, advisor, and friend. Perhaps it was in the former and latter that he was so remarkable. For years Dr. Wilson edited the Susquehanna Studies. He was an editor and co-author of the re- cently published History of Sus- quehanna University. In every phase of the campus life Dr. Wil- son was to be found guiding, helping and teaching. His pleas- ant smile, cheery greeting, clever wit and great sincerity are now gone but will never be forgotten. In closing, perhaps it would be most fitting to quote from the literature he loved so well: . . . Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

Larry completed the S.U. scoring drive with a 2 yd. plunge for the T.D. Crusader Gridmen Face Large Problem — Can They Repeat? That time of the year — football season — has rolled around again, and before the season gets too far ahead of us, we'd like to give you an idea of what Susquehanna's gridiron team will look like this year. Last year, the Crusaders, un- der head coach James Garrett, were the greatest defensively minded and inspired unit to don the Orange and Maroon. Much of the credit for the 1960 record of seven wins and one loss must go to Coach Garrett, who put together a team that ranked first in the nation in pass defense allowing 27.3 yds. per game, second in the nation in scoring defense <2.5 points per game>, and eighth in the nation in total defense '132.4 yds. per game'. Coach Garrett will once again be aided by former S.U. greats Bob Pittello, who is beginning his eleventh year as line coach. Mak- ing their first appearances as Susquehanna coaches will be Rob- ert Windis who will handle the ends and "Big Dan'' Sekanovich who will be a linebacker coach. This year the Crusaders will be captained by Ben "Butch'' Di- Francesco. who was named to the Williamson Little Ail-Amer- ican team in 1961. This 5-8, 165 lb. guard from Atlas, Pa., is without a doubt, one of the great- est performers ever seen on Uni- versity F'ield. Under his inspir- ational leadership, the Crusaders could go a long way. Ken Mauser, a Now Jersey boy, will hold down one of the end positions this year. Ken is in his fourth year of varsity ball and is looking forward to having a good season after suffering a broken arm in last year's Up- sila tilt. The other flanker spot will be manned by a sophomore, Mike Rupprecht. who hails from York, Pa. Rupprecht stands 6-3. and weighs in at 195 lbs Mike is ex- pected to be one of S.U.'s stand- out players this fall Joe Perfilio, a 6-1, 195 !b. tackle from Jersey City, N J , is said to be the number one hustler on the squad. Perfilio. who is in his third year of football at Susque hanna. is one of the hardest hit- ters in the Crusader forward wall Dick Rohland, a senior, show- ed up as the most improved play- er in spring practice sessions and thus earned the starting left tackle slot for the Garrett-coach- ed eleven this year. Another letter-winner who is expected to see a lot of action at a tackle position is Neal Markle. Markle is a product of Sunbury High School and plays at 5-8, 200 lbs. George "Soup" Campbell will be the other starting guard for the Crusaders this fall. Campbell is indeed the unsung hero of the Susquehanna ball club. Standing 5-11, 210 lbs, this junior was one of the rocks on last year's de- fensive wall and greater things can be expected of him this year. The middle of the line will be manned by center John Rowlands. Rowlands, a sophomore from Wilkes-Barre, Pa., is 5-10, 205 lbs., and may be considered to be the meanest man on the squad. Backing up Rowlands will be Tom Samuels, a junior from Mt. Ephriam. N.J. Samuel is known to his teammates as "The Toe" because he is a fine extra point and field goal threat. The quarterback slot will be filled by sophomore Don Green this year. Green shared the posi- tion last year with Dick Derrick. Not only a fine passer and field general. Green is also one of Gar- rett's fastest men and has look- ed just terrific in preseason drills. Terry Kissinger, a 5-10, 190 lb. sophomore from Selinsgrove, picked up valuable experience last year and will be Garrett's regular right halfback this sea- son. A hard runner. Kissinger will also handle the punting duties for the Crusaders. The left halfback, John Luscko. can best be described by saying that he would rather run over an opponent than around him. This 5-7. 175 lb. junior gets better as the going gets tougher. He was not only Susquehanna's, but also SU Football Coach Sekanovich from Pa. Dan A. Sekanovich, native of Hazleton, Pa., returned to his home state this summer when he was appointed linebacker coach of the Crusader football team. He came to Susquehanna from Southington (Conn.) High School where he had been head grid coach, science, and physical education instructor for three years. After graduating from West Hazleton High School, Mr. Sek- anovich went on to the University of Tennessee where he was regu- lar defensive end for three sea- sons. He played in the Sugar Bowl in 1952 when Tennessee lost to Maryland 28-13 and in the Cot- ton Bowl in 1953 when Tennessee lost to Texas 16-0. Mr. Sekanovich received Ten- nessee's B.S. degree in physical education in 1954 and is current- ly working on his M.A. at Penn State University. He played pro- fessional football for the Montreal Allouettes in 1954, was a U.S. Army lieutenant for two years, and played for the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1957. In addition to his football coach- ing assignment at Susquehanna he will teach physical education and personal hygiene, assist in other phases of the athletic pro- gram, and help supervise intra- murals. Mr. Sekanovich stated that he was happy to return to Pennsylvania and has a particu- lar interest in this part of the state. SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Here we are at the beginning of another school term, and we're going to begin our column where we left off last term — with baseball. The big news this year, has been those candy kids, Mantle and Maris, and their assault of Ruth's home run record. The guys who pick the MVP in the American League this year are going to have quite a problem when it comes time to make the annual selection. Not only do they have the slugging antics of M&M to contend with, but also the pitching feats of Whitey Ford and Frank Lary. Then again there's Jim Gentile, who has done an outstanding jobs with the Orioles. The pick here is The Rajah, mainly for his feat of slamming 59 four-baggers. Let's not forget Norm Cash who may sneak in and cop the award, and may well deserve it for the simple fact that he has carried the Detroit ball club all season. Over in the senior circuit, the voting should be a little easier be- cause undoubtedly one of the Cincinnati ballplayers deserves the award. The feeling here is that Frank Robinson, who has been one of the steadiest performers in the National League for the past few sea- sons, should be presented with the award. Robinson's hitting and his field leadership have definitely played a major role in making the Redlegs a pennant winner. Manager-of-the-year awards should not be difficult to select this year. Fred Hutchinson is a cinch to win in the NL, and the junior loop manager who has done the most is Bob Scheffing of the Tigers. Ralph Houk has also done a terrific job with the Bronx Bombers in his first season at the helm, but Scheffing deserves the award since he had much less talent to choose from. The flop of the year must be the world champion Pittsburgh Pir- ates, who have dropped from first to sixth place. Walt Alston of the Dodgers has to be a candidate for worst man- ager of the year. The Dodgers claim that they have seventy boys in their farm system who could have made good in the majors this year. So, what happened? The answer may be that Alston depended too much on speed when he should have built his team around power, seeing that they've been playing in a bandbox all year. Let's wind it up for the week by picking those Yankees to add another World Series flag to their collection when the October classic rolls around. the MAC's leading ground gainer in 1960. Another Selinsgrove product, Larry Kerstetter, will once again be the Crusader fullback. The toughest player on the squad, this 5-11. 195 lb. sophomore is known as Garrett's bread-and- butter man. Larry was the num- ber two leading ground gainer last year. The freshman class this year has contributed approximately thirty ballplayers, some of which have showed a great deal of po- tential in pre-season workouts. Although no freshmen have as yet been able to work into a starting position, Sam Metzger, a 5-11, 165 lb. QB from Martins- burg. Pa.; Chuck Ashburn. a half- back from Niantic, Conn., and Larry Erdman, a 5-10. 170 lb. halfback from Mandata, Pa., have all shown definite promise in the backfield. Up front, guard Richie Caruso who hailes from Margate, N.J., and Emil Cuccio, a 220 lb. tackle from Englewood, N.J., may even- tually get shots at a number one position. Jim Gibney. a 6-2. 185 lb. end from Union, N.J.. will probably see some action at an end slot. Sophomore Roland Marionni will see action at fullback and halfback positions this season. Sophomore end. Ken Mutzel, a 185 pounder from York, and guard, John Garrett, who is also a sophomore, can count on see- ing their share of action through- out the nine game schedule. Despite having fourteen return- ing lettermen and adequate re- placements, the Crusaders will definitely feel the loss of Barry Hackenberg and Dan Remler this fall. Both boys played a big part in making S.U. one of the top small-college teams in the coun- try last fall, but they will be in- eligible this season because of academic difficulties. Cross Country Added To SI) Sports Slate With the increased emphasis on the sports program at Susquehan- na this year, another new sport has been added to the list. For the first time in the history of the University, a cross country team will be introduced. Cross country should prove to be a pop- ular fall sport since interest in it has been greatly increasing in the country for the past few years. The squad will be coached by David R. Hindman, who is also an instructor in mathematics at Susquehanna. A cross country course has been charted and pre- pared in the area surrounding the State School which is located approximately one mile from the University. According to Athletic Director James Garrett, the four and one- half mile course is one of the toughest and most challenging he has ever seen. 1961 Cross Country Schedule (Incomplete) Oct. 3, Millersville, Home '4 p.m.) Oct 10. Gettysburg and Washing- ton, Gettysburg Oct. 24. Delaware and Washing- ton, Chestertown, Md. Oct. 27. Dickinson. Home '330 p.m.) Nov. 1, Millersville, Millersville Heim's Soccer Squad Battles Wilkes Today This afternoon at Wilkes, Coach William Heim's soccer team will play its first game. Since only six returning lettermen have ap- peared at practice, Coach Heim expects that "lack of experience will be the big problem this season." The team is composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores, some of whom will probably have to step right into starting roles. Coach Heim feels that "the re- turn of goalie Frank Yaggi will be a big help." He also thinks that lettermen George Phillips at halfback, fullback Bill Bailey, and lineman Pete Beiger will help strengthen the team. Dartmouth transfer Pross Mel- lon is working out with the team and helping with coaching duties, but he will be ineligible to play this year because of NCAA regu- lations. Last year the Crusaders posted a 3-5 record during their first year on a full schedule of var- sity competition. Hoping to im- prove on its record this season, the team faces a stiff 9-game slate. Following this afternoon's game against Wilkes, the team meets Lycoming on Saturday at home. Hockey Team Readies for Year The thudding of footballs, the cracking of hockey sticks, and the cheering of crowds assures the sports-minded individual that fall has arrived. Although most thoughts are focused upon the gridiron. Susquehanna students will again divide their attention between the outstanding football team and the uprising hockey team. This year the coeds will add a second chapter to the S.U. hand- book of intercollegiate sports. Under the direction of coach M. Kay Cochran, the team has been actively developing individual techniques and skills and improv- ing team play since Sept. 19th Among the possible twenty can- didates there are several veteran starters. One sole junior, Toby Brodisch, a returning left inner, and ten sophomores comprise the quota of upperclassmen. An away clash on Friday, Oc- tober 13th, with Lock Haven in- itiates the season for the Crusad- er coeds. Additional matches with Dickinson, Elizabethtown, and Millersville will be staged throughout the month of October, dueling with Penn State on the 31st for the final game. Wednesday, September 27, 1961-^THE CRUSADER— Page 5 WHITE SOUND by RAY CRAGLE This week's topic: Things the administration won't tell yoo Just as white light is a mixture of all colors of the rainbow, white sound is the combination of many different musical pitches. This column has been entitled "White Sound" because it, too, is a mixture. During the coming year, you may read about anything: magic carpets, punctuation, people on campus — a collection of information carefully selected for today's progressive student. Most of the articles — like today's — are designed to help you toward your goal of self-fulfillment and sophistication. Today's feature is intended mainly for the new students at Sus- quehanna, but naive upperclassmen will undoubtedly profit by it. It consists of„helpful suggestions for making your life here at school more pleasant: Suggestion I: Join the Edwin Roberts Boosters' Association Members of this nationally-known group receive a beautiful status symbol, which reads, "This is to certify that — is recog- nized as a supporter of all enterprises prompted in the name of Eddie Roberts." Many S.U. students have already joined this organization in order that they might honor the one and only Eddie Roberts. We recommend that you join immediately. You'll be hearing more about the association in the future. Suggestion II: Redecorate your room. Those of you who have been assigned rooms in the old dormitories are probably quite envious of the students living in the new ones. Perhaps you have even decided to redecorate your rooms. If this is so, let me recommend a method which has two advantages over the usual redecorating process: (1) It is different, and (2) it does away with the usual messy paints, brushes, rollers, wallpaper, paste, and so on. Here, then, is the new and improved method: STEP 1: Remove from the room all furniture, personal property, and roommates. Also remove the closet, light and fixture, and radiator. If your room is not perfectly rectangular, make it so by chopping away any protuberances and by walling up any niches. If your roommate objects to the remodeling, arrange for him to be in one of the spaces you wall up. STEP 2: Cover the side walls with Persian tapestries and the floor with thick, luxurious carpet. The carpet must be soft enough so that you can sleep comfortably on it as the furniture will not be returned to the room. Give the furniture and personal belongings to classmates who are not re-decorating. Get an artist to paint in oils on the ceiling. Michaelangelo has done some very commendable work along these lines. STEP 3: Completely cover each end of the room with a large mirror. As the mirrors reflect to and fro, the impression will be that of an unending hallway, lined with tapestries, lushly carpeted, and having an infinite series of oil paintings on the ceiling. STEP 4: Take a pillar, equal to the height of the room, and cut it lengthwise into quarters. Fasten one piece in each corner of the room. This makes it appear that the hallway is lined with pillars.- Install indirect fluorescent lighting along the tops of the side walls. STEP 5: Now all that remains is to add some point of interest at the middle of each side wall. I personally prefer to use a suit of armor on a pedestal for one wall, and a small, bubbling fountain for the op- posite wall. You may vary this system of redecorating to suit your own taste. For a wider hall, use mirrors on the sides of the room instead of on the ends. Or, if you come from the West, you may want that "open plains" feeling that results from a green carpet, a blue ceiling, and mirrors on all four walls. Students who feel that they cannot afford this system must not despair. Many of the materials, though they sound expensive, can be available to clever students at little or no cost. The following sug- gestions are some of the possibilities: Mirrors: Discreetly "borrow" a store window, and silver it yourself. Silver can be obtained in many restaurants. Pillars: Pillars of appropriate size can be found at the chapel en- trances, at the front and sides of Hassinger Hall, and at the front of Pine Lawn. Tapestries and Carpet: After you have sealed up your roommate in the wall, he will prohably agree with the redecorating idea and ask you to let him out. First make him promise that he will weave the neces- sary carpet and tapestries. If he says that he doesn't know how, refer him to the encyclopedias in the library where all the basic steps are explained. Painting on the Ceiling: If you cannot arrange to have a painting on the ceiling, you may wish to project a picture there instead. Many art museums sell slides of paintings for two dollars each. Be certain that your roommate makes the carpet at least eighteen inches thick so that the slide projector can be concealed in it. Now, if the students don't use too many pillars, causing buildings to collapse, with the result that this column is banned forever, our next week's feature will be — well, who can say? Jim Parker and other members of the Orientation Committee help a bewildered freshman. S.U. Artist Series (Continued from page 1) The last program in the Artist Series schedule will be the ap- pearance of the Julliard String Quartet on April 26th. The 1961-62 Artist Series pro- grams have been carefully plan- ned and selected. Be aware of them and many other new at- tractions on Susquehanna's cam- pus. Tabby, An Intelligent Cat, Writes Her Mistress a Line Have you ever received a letter from your pet cat? Did you know that cats do have a somewhat highly skilled writing ability? Tabby, a well educated cat, has just written her first letter to Pip Hughes, a freshman at Susquehanna University. Eds. Homecoming News From Mr. Wissinger A note of interest to all S.U. students comes from the office of Mr. Don Wissinger. The theme of this year's Homecom- ing has been changed to 'THE FAR LOOK" Plans for the festive day are underway, and all organizations are encour- aged to enter floats in the pa- rade which will start at 10:30 a.m. from the front entrance of the campus. Other par- ticulars for the big day will be released at a later date. The editorial staff hopes you will enjoy the new feature. GORT, soon to come, "Little Man On Campus." Dear Pip— I finally got around to asking your mother what has happened to you. I wandered into your room several times and always found plenty of room for me on the bed. Then it finally dawned on me that you must have gone away. You know how it is with cats. We are not supposed to have any memory or any sense of time according to the psychol- ogists — I'm sure you can find a book devoted to this subject in your library: Well. I assumed that you must have gone to that camp-place again, but your moth- er said you had gone to college. "My word." I said, "What is college 9 " I can remember hearing some- one say that deal about the Col- lege of Hard Knocks where the colors are black and blue and the yell is "Ouch!" I was quite indig- nant to think that your cruel par- ents woyld send you to such a place. I know all about this hard- knock deal, and really 1 think you are a little immature and per- haps even a little soft for such an experience. After 1 had scratched your mother to see if she knew the old school veil, she explained to me that you were going to another school to learn "How to Cope with Life." Per- sonally, Pip, I think you should leave that place immediately. Good grief, you have been going to school ever since I can remem- ber (which in spite of what the psychologists say is quite a long time*. Just take me, for ex- ample. I never went to school, but believe me I can cope. In fact, by the time I was your age 'by cat standards, that is), I had had about fifteen of my children. This is a lot of coping, if you ask me. Well. I understand it is dif- ferent for human females from the way it is for feline females, so maybe you'd better stay in college. On second thought, I was out on my own at an earlier age than you, so if I wanted to get married my mother didn't My no. But I'll bet your mother would have a different idea about you So stay there and learn "How to Cope with Life." What those professors don't tell you, I'm sure I can. I have really been quite lone- some for you. Your sister has been closing her door at night, so I cannot sleep with her. Sev- eral nights it was so cold 1 had to sleep with your mother. It was all right until that dog got cold and joined us. Actually, your mother's bed is not big enough for a dog and a cat I purred and kneeded my claws into her hoping she'd go sleep somewhere else so thcre'd be space for the rest of us. but all I got for my trouble was being thrown out from under the covers. If it were not such a long walk. I'd go to that college place with you Well. I must close now. Be a good girl and in my next letter I will give you some good advice about tomcats. Sincerely yours. Tabby Page 4-THE CRUSADER-Wednesday, September 27, 1961 THE GREEK VINE ALPHA DELTA PI The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi wish to welcome all of you new students to Susquehanna Univer- sity. We hope that you will enjoy being members of the student body as much as we enjoy having you here. The year started off with a bang, and now we are busier than ever. The sisters who participat- ed in orienting the freshmen are: Bette Davis, Barb Jordan, Joyce Steinberg, Jean Ewald, Jeannie Weathered, and Peggy Thoman. We are thrilled with our new room, and nearly all of the fur- nishings are in place. We are deeply grateful to all those whose labors went into providing us with such beautiful surroundings in which to live and work. Best wishes are extended to Sister Lynn Vekassy who became pinned to Joe Perfilio of Lambda Chi Alpha. visor; Mrs. Gelnett, scholarship advisor; Mrs. Potteiger, social advisor; and Mrs. Snook, finan- cial advisor. Gamma Kappa's representa- tives to Alpha Xi Delta's CORT were President Joyce Lundy and Vice-president Lois Master. CORT was held August 20-23 on the campus of Northwestern Univer- sity at Evanston, Illinois. The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta are happy to announce the wed- ding of two sisters, which took place during the past summer. They are Sister Karen Krombein to Bob Clark and Sister Karen Goeringer to Jack Snider. This year the sisters will once again work as receptionists at the Selinsgrove State School. This work is done as a project in con- tributing to Alpha XI Delta's program of National Philanthro- py. ALPHA XI DELTA With the opening of another school year, the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta are busily planning for their dance to be held in the lounge on Saturday night. Sep- tember 30th. In keeping with the thought of the Freshmen and their S.U. dinks, it will be en- titled the "Dink Dance". The Gamma Kappa Chapter is presently being visited by one of Alpha Xi's province officers, Mrs. Pell. Alpha Xi's newly appointed of- ficers are: Room Chairman. Ros- alie MacConnell: Activities Chair- man, Henrietta Hoch and Shirley Garrison: Scholarship Chairman, Judy Bollinger: Flower Chair- man, Pat Cook; Pianist. Sue Det- jen: Charm Board Committee, Sara Broscious, Chairman, Pat Cook. Peggy Simon, and Donna Zeilman. The sisters of Gamma Kappa Chapter wish to extend a special welcome to Mrs. De Mott, mem- bership advisor, who has return- ed to S.U. after a years absence. Other chapter advisors are: Mrs. Lorraine Brubaker. pledge ad- KAPPA DELTA After a busy summer, includ- ing a week at Ocean City, New Jersey, and many various sum- mer jobs, the Kappa Deltas are back in full swing on the Susque- hanna campus. One of the major events of the summer for President Judy Arn- old, was the Kappa Delta Nation- al Convention held in Roanoke, Virginia, from June 22 to June 26. Sister Judy greatly enjoyed this opportunity of meeting Kappa Deltas from all over the country. Currently the KD's are await- ing the completion of the interior decorator's plans for the new room. It is anticipated that the room will be completed by Par- ent's Day. Ruth Almond, Bobbie Claffee, Carol Davis, and Patsy Hoehling, are busily completing pledge tests and projects in preparation for their initiation into Kappa Delta's circle of friendship. Best wishes and white roses to the following Kappa Delts: Sister Pam Terry, 'x63, recently engag- ed to Ken Gordon, 64 of Theta Chi.

Out Of A Test Tube by TOM HANSHAW PHI MU DELTA As the result of an extensive remodeling of the Phi Mu Delta house, the brotherhood now finds itself living in finer style than previously. While an addition, which enlarges the house by eighteen feet on a side and eleven feet in the rear is most promi- nent, interior renovations were extensive enough to give the house a new look throughout. The brotherhood took time out from the painting phase of re- furnishing to entertain the fresh- man girls Thursday night. The critical opinion of the rebuilding program, from a female view- point was favorable, as was the critical opinion of the girls from a fraternal viewpoint. The brotherhood was deeply saddened by news of the death of brother Arthur H. Wilson, head of the English Department at S.U. Brothers Lynn Sanburg and Fritz Fichtner have returned to Susquehanna. Lynn sat out a semester recovering from a bro- ken leg, while Fritz returned from the army. Elected recently: Frank Yaggi, steward; James Wilde, chaplain; and Alan Keil, representative to the Men's Judiciary Board. Did you ever wish that you had the wings of a bird so that you could fly south and escape the cold winter of Susquehanna's campus? It is quite possible that this idea has entered your mind, but did you state what bird's wings you desired? Most people, when they are dissatisfied with the surrounding conditions, will accept almost anything for a change, and yet what a disap- pointment will be in store for them if they choose the wrong wings. This can be likened to taking the wrong plane and landing in Alaska instead of Florida. For example, if you should choose the wings of a Ruffed Grouse, you would take off from your front yard with a great rush thinking you were headed straight for Palm Beach, but in a short time you would find yourself at your own back door. On the other hand, if you were blessed with the wings of a Golden Plover you might begin your flight for Florida but never stop until you've reached the northern sec- tion of South America. The question of bird migration has long plagued the minds • of men throughout the centuries. How do these small creatures know where to go, when to leave and how to return? It is, indeed, THETA CHI Another football season at Sus- quehanna University has been launched with its complement of pep rallies, dances and general student enthusiasm. The tradi- tional appearance of Theta Chi's "Theta Beta Band" on the eve of the Lycoming Game left no doubt in anyone's mind that fall has arrived. Under the leader- ship of Lynn Lerew, the red- jacketed musicians swung their way through such pep songs as, "The Eyes of Texas" and "Wash- ington and Lee Swing". To round out their torch-lit tour of the women's dorms, the band and brothers joined together in the familiar "Vive la Theta Chi". Theta Chi president, Les But- ler, recently announced the elec- tion of Jim Summers to the post of fraternity secretary. Jim re- places John Schlotzhauer who transferred to Franklin and Mar- shall College. Also announced was the election of Curt Barry to membership on the Men's Ju- diciary Board. S.U. Concert Choir (Continued from page 3) tire year upon an oath that this will be his first- extra-curricular activity to which he will give proper dedication. In the past year, the choir has made several major appearances, sung at daily chapel, and made two television tapes with supple- mentary tours.The group has sung such compositions as Britten's "Ceremony of Carols"; Brahms' "Liebeslieder Waltzes"; Bach's Motet, "Jesus, Priceless Treas- ure"; and Faure's "Requiem Mass." In addition to these, the choir has done Romantic works of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky plus selections like "If I Were a Bell," "Inch Worm," "I Dream of You," and "I Believe." This year the choir will sing sacred, secular, and popular numbers and the year will be highlighted with a joint concert at Juniata College plus tours to Baltimore and Philadelphia. There are probably some peo- ple who ask why a choir is im- portant! Besides the fact that a choir or any organization gives individuals the opportunity to build friendships, it develops traits and ideals to be carried on into life. The choir is one of the few organizations whose art is actually a part of it and whose personality is acutely reflected through its work. The following quotation adequately sums up a choir's position: "Talents are God's gift to us, and what we do with these talents, is our gift to God." a biological phenomenon that the Arctic Tern can leave Alaska and travel 11,000 miles to his nesting grounds in South America and return to the exact same feeding ground as the previous year. This is a round trip of 22,000 miles in one year without the use of a roadmap or compass. A biolog- ical mystery? Yes, I believe so. Speed as well as distance is of utmost importance in the migra- tion of the different species. There are a great range of speeds which have been recorded, the extremes of which are most astonishing. The slower moving types, the passerine birds, have been clock- ed at 27-30 miles per hour. The greatest speed on record for a migratory bird is held by two species of Swifts in India which have been timed going 171 miles per hour. This is quite a speed for a little fellow who weighs much less than a pound. A great many of our migratory birds art night flyers which has proven to be very hazardous in many instances. These birds are attracted to any bright or steady light which might be present in their migration path. Every year hundreds of thousands dash them- selves to death against light- houses, monuments and buildings. In a single night a radio tower in Gengia claimed the lives of some 5,000 birds on their way to the south land. Many cities and towns are erecting nets around the tops of these obstacles in an effort to curb the slaughter of our friends. Migration, tremendous speeds and the great attraction to light of these creatures are just a few of the many unexplainable mys- teries of our scientific world. Pos- sibly in the future, God will re- veal to man His great realm of the unknown, but until that time we must accept these things as unperceived phenomenon. SPINET PIANO BARGAIN WANTED: Responsible party to take over low monthly payments on a Spinet Piano. Can be seen locally. WRITE CREDIT MANAGER, P. O. Box 35, CORTLAND, OHIO. Crusaders Drop Lyco (Continued from page 1) Following the contest, Susque- hanna captain Ben DiFrancesco accepted the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bronzed Hat Trophy which is given to the winning team each year. This makes it two straight since S.U. acquired it last year in the first annual contest by winning 18-0. Sophomore quarterback Don Green was presented with an in- dividual trophy since he was voted the most outstanding of- fensive player, and Lycoming guard Marty Allenbaugh received a trophy acknowledging him as the most valuable defensive play- er.

The absence of yard markers on the field made everyone play a guessing game as to just where the ball was. — Erdman and Metzger gave a good showing in their first game. — The area bands present at the game made it look like big time football. — S.U.'s all-male band did a great job with the pre-game show. — Coach Pittello deserves praise for another fine line that he has molded together. — Not many fans noticed that there was a post-game contest, two women brawling in the end zone. SWARTHMORE SURVEY See Page 3 VOL. 3 — NO. 2 THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University CAMPUS SUCCESS See Page 2 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1961 This week, a mum; next week, lots of moms, as S.U. features its annual Parents' Day. Moms, Dads and Mums— A Trio For 1 961 Parent's Day at SU by BARB STOC KALIS Parent's Day October 7, 1961 — a day filled with excitement for everyone on campus. Actually, it's an onrush of Moms and Dads who are anxious to see their sons and daughters and to spend a pleasant day with them. It is a day awaited in particular, by the Freshmen, who by this time have been thoroughly oriented and who are anxious to show their parents how well they have acclimated themselves to college life. The influx begins early Satur- day morning. Smiling faces are a common sight as the stu- dents, clothed in their sports fin- ery, greet their honored guests. For Mom, it's a kiss, a hug, and a beautiful chrysanthemum. For Dad, it's a hearty handshake (if you're a guy), and "Did you have a nice trip?" Then it's off to lunch and a lot of catching up to do since that last letter sent home. Next, the football game with Swarthmore will undoubted- ly fill the sunny afternoon with an air of general excitement. For Coach Garrett's able-bodied men, it will be their third clash with a sure victory in sight. Parent's Day is significant in numerous ways for Susquehan- na's increasing student body. To the majority of Fresh- men it means their first visit with Mom and Dad since they came to college. To the upper- classmen it is now a tradition and also a good chance to exchange some of the light cotton summer clothes they brought for heavier fall and winter apparel in light of the colder days to come. To the Greek letter men and women on campus,, it is an opportunity to have teas and get-togethers for all of their members and parents as a group. Then, the next time they mention so and so's name, at least the people at home will know whom they're talking about. To the administration, it's an oc- casion to meet parents at a short reception which is usually held in the gym following the football game. To everyone, both stu- dents and visitors, it's a great day for a football game, and the charging Crusaders are bound to be victorious. Colorful shakers, attractive chrysanthemums, football pro- grams, smiling faces, and lots of people will be dotting S.U.'s cam- pus. Look for them all on Par- ent's Day. Your Voice on Campus: The Student Council The Student Council is the gov- erning body of the students of Susquehanna University. Head- ing up this year's council are President, Walt Fox; Men's Vice- President, Bill Molin; Women's Vice President, Judy Brndjar. The Council consists not only of its official board but also repre- sentatives of the independents, sororities, and fraternities as well as members at large chosen from the general campus. The main purpose of the Stu- dent Council, according to Vice- President Bill Molin, is "com- munication." The Council seeks to create a common bridge of communication between students and administration. It hopes to better represent general student will and create working relations between student and administra- tor. This year the Susquehanna Stu- dent Council has several projects already underway. The ground- work for a needed Student Union building, modernization of the vacant room in the lounge (form- erly the book store), and an of- fice where students may present their problems to Council mem- bers. The Council will, in the future, increase the social life on campus which lags so badly between fra- ternity weekends. It also hopes to be able to bring big name en- tertainment to the S.U. campus. The Council is the students' representative voice on the Sus- quehanna Campus and is here to serve you. Students should feel free to consult with Council mem- bers and bring them their prob- lems and ideas so that the Coun- cil might better serve Susque- hanna. Fraternity Senate Rules on Rushing Rushing policies and procedures recently received a thorough re- view by the Inter-Fraternity Sen- ate. The Senate determined that the traditional ruling forbidding freshmen and transfer students from entering the houses any time prior to formal rush would remain the policy. Several changes were made in other procedures. It was deter- mined that no one who was aca- demically ineligible to rush would be permitted to use fraternity houses, attend fraternity parties or other social functions. An informal agreement was reached restricting men, who were eligible to rush but failed to do so, from the use of the fraternities for any purpose. This matter is expected to receive a final ruling at the next Senate meeting. The Senate also agreed that the fall semester would be con- sidered an open rush period for any academically eligible stu- dents who have completed a full two semesters of work at the uni- versity. Such men may be pledg- ed at any time. Anyone having questions concerning these or any other rulings should contact Dr. Zimmer. W.A.A. Sets Future Under Prexy Lawley The W.A.A., the Women's Ath- letic Association, and its numer- ous activities play an important role in the busy lives of S.U. coeds. Sponsoring intramural competi- tion in four seasonal sports (hock- ey, basketball, volleyball, and badminton), the organization af- fords everyone the opporunity of active participation in the college athletic pprogram. Hockey managers, Candy Fink and Carol Hirshman, organized three teams according to campus residence and initiated their sea- son on September 28th with a clash between the Hornets and the Wasps. Volleyball, basket- ball, and badminton managers are Toby Brodisch. Barbara Stockalis, Jane Kump, Marge Brandt, Ann Spriggle, and Ann Ferance and they will have a similar chore in formulating competitive teams and schedul- ing their matches. Coronation ceremonies, the highlight of the Homecoming Weekend, also falls under the jurisdiction of the Association. Co-chairmen of the script com- mittee, Sharon Martin, Barbara Stockalis; entertainment, Nancy Zimmerman, Susie Myers; dec- oration, Naomi Weaver; program, Grace .Johnson; and clean-up, Betty Branthoffer; are diligently preparing for this night of all nights. A new electoral system for Homecoming royalty will be in- stituted this year by W.A.A. As in the past, representatives will be chosen from the junior, soph- omore, and freshman classes, but the Senior Class will select two representatives.

Leading the attack for the Crusaders were the K-boys, Larry Kerstetter and Terry Kissinger, while a lad named Tony Ser- marini electrified the crowd for Ursinus. Susquehanna lost the toss and was forced to kick to Ursinus. The famed Crusader defense stopped the Bears cold and gave Susquehanna its chance on of- fense. A Don Green to Kerstet- ter aerial set up the touchdown on the Ursinus 6 and, two plays later. Kerstetter boomed into the end zone. The talented toe of Tom Samuels quickly made the score read : S.U.— 7, Ursinus— 0. After receiving the kickoff, Ur- sinus managed one first down before again having to surrender the ball. With Green calling sig- nals, the S.U. ball club again began to march. Successive car- ries by John Luscko netted a first down. Kerstetter got the next first down, and then it was Luscko's turn again as the first quarter ended. Luscko carried off right tackle to the seventeen as the second quarter opened, and then Kerstet- ter blasted in for the score. The officials detected Crusader back in motion on the play and the TD was called back. The next play found an illegal receiver downfield and forced the ball even further away from the goal. The Crusader attack now stalled and Ursinus took possession on its own 23rd. After grabbing a first down, a quick pass, Ursinus Bears again found Di Francesco and company too much to handle. Zilai's kick went out of bounds, and it was Crusader ball on their own 27. With the K-boys and Luscko doing the heavy work, the Susquehanna team moved the ball beautifully down the field. When Kerstetter picked up the fourth first down of the drive on the Ursinus 10. it looked like another score was in the making. However, as Luscko smashed through the line on the next play, the ball was jarred loose and Ursinus recovered. Three plays netted the Bears little and they were forced to kick. Tony Sermarini dropped back into punt formation. The snap from center was high and wide forcing Sermarini to move to his left to catch the ball. Ahead of Sermarini lay open field, while to his right the lone Crusader who had broken through the line. Ken Hauser, was in hot pursuit. Sermarini decided to run, and run he did. The crowd came to its feet as young Tony weaved in and out among the would- Crusader tacklers. Seven- ty-one yards later, he was finally tackled on the S.U. twelve by Ken Hauser. A quarterback sneak and an end run by Ron Ritz were enough for the Ursinus score. At half. S.U. led 7-6. The second half opened with the crowd eagerly awaiting the unexpected. S.U. fans, already a bit dejected in having their team scored upon, began to won- der when the Crusader offense netted nothing after taking the second half kickoff. Ursinus took Kissinger's fourth down punt to their own 23rd and started from there. Ron Emmert, Bear quar- terback, lost ground to the 17th and then decided a pass was in order. His pass was complete— to S.U. end Mike Rupprecht, who then completed his sensational in- terception by galloping 25 yards for the score. Talented Tom's toe added the PAT and its was S.U. 14, Ursinus 6. The remainder of the quarter saw the two teams battle back and forth at midfield With only seconds remaining in the quarter, the Crusaders sent Green up the middle for a first down on the Ursinus 46 after a "4th and inches" situation. Green alternated end runs with line shots and moved the ball to the 15 yard line. Luscko shot through to the nine and is was then time for "big Kert" to make his move. The sophomore fullback smashed to the two and then into the end zone for the TD. Samuels' PAT was good, and the Crusaders led (Continued on page 4) OK, boys, tackle when you see the whites of their eyes. «.

The Case of the Missing Books In years past, Susquehanna has experienced the problems common to most colleges There have been debates over such subjects as: the laundry room, snack bar policies, and student government. In at least one field we think definite progress has been made— that of student government. The question which now arises is, "In light of the current library situation, do we merit this government and even additional privileges?" The situation to which we refer is the case of the "missing' li- brary books. The library here at Susquehanna is far from being the best in the United States, but it is also far from the worst. Those people responsible for its growth and maintenance are extending every possible effort to provide a bigger and better library for the students. What is the reward, the thanks that these people receive? Missing books! As the situation stands now it seems that the check-out desk, lo- cated directly in front of the main doors, is not doing all the business it should. When John or Mary Co-ed find a need for several books to complete a paper, they have been avoiding the "busy" desk in their rush and simply taking the books with them The problem lies in the fact that they often forget or find it impossible to allot enough time to return these books. In their haste for the books, these students have actually hurt three innocent by-standers: the people on the administration who seek a better library, the student council working for the student body, and other students who may wish to use the "missing" books. This year the library has increased borrowing periods, bought more books, and made every effort to aid the student. That anyone should simply pick up a book and walk out of the library is utterly ridiculous There is no need for such action Before the students demand more representation, perhaps they should "set their house in order" and prove themselves worthy of that honor. There is no reason why the vast majority should have to suffer for a few inconsiderates. We are all college students, let's act that way! LB.

However, I feel that someone must sacrifice his own good name for the betterment of the student population. From this time forward, the name "Charlie" may well be submerged in a vast miasma of forgottens along with other names such as Edsel, Nixon and "a good 5# cigar." With this realization before me I submit to my doom. I contend that the majority of the users of the "Snack Bar" are downright sloppy and have a very low percentile of reading comprehension. How am I able to equate sloppiness with bad reading habits? Simple! Some- day walk into the inner sanctum of Gustavus Adolphus Hall and prepare for the ordeal of purchas- ing a coke. Extract either a nickel, dime or quarter from your change purse (or borrow one if need be) and deposit it in the proper slot of the machine. If the machine is in a generous frame of mind, you will receive sometime later a brightly colored paper cup filled with a thirst- quenching beverage.. Next, wend thy way to a fairly uncluttered table and sit down amid the clouds of smoke and piles of ashes. You have now reached the point of no return. For after you have drunk your drink (with ice if the mechanical marvel has been so kind) just glance at that brightly colored cup. As you will undoubtedly notice, many well formed letters are inscribed thereon As an intellectual, you will be suitably aroused by the slogan, Because we CARE, we all FIGHT WASTE," and will de- posit your container in the empty receptacle as you fight your way to the door. Has my point been made clear that most of the gadflies which infest the snack bar are either sloppy or are too fatigued from constant study to see well? The only defense I can offer for my companions is that perhaps they too have been dejected from not receiving ice in their drinks. They then clutter up the area in such a manner that no one else will be able to sit down and thus cause the machine to revert to a state of inactivity. This is only a thought and probably has no relation to the problem at hand. Charlie would like to ask a small favor. Please put the cups in the can! The bottoms of the waste baskets are getting in- feriority complexes! Vootie.

Bring the professor newspaper clippings dealing with his sub- ject. Demonstrate fiery interest and give him timely items to mention to the class. If you can't find clippings dealing with his subject, bring any clippings at random. He thinks everything deals with his subject. "2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly. If you look at your watch, don't stare at it unbelievingly and shake it. "3. Nod frequently and murmur, 'How true'. To you, this seems exaggerated. To him, it's quite objective. "4. Sit in front, near him. ( Applies only if you intend to stay awake. ) If you're going to all the trouble of making a good impression, you might as well let him know who you are, especially in a large class. "5. Laugh at his jokes. You can tell, if he looks up from his notes and smiles expectantly, that he has told a joke. "6. Ask for outside reading. You don't have to read it. Just ask "7. If you must sleep, arrange to be called by a friend at the end of the hour. It creates an unfavorable impression if the rest of rlie class has left, and you sit there alone, dozing. "8. Be sure the book you read during the lecture looks like a book from the course. If you do math in psychology class and vice versa, match the books for size and color. "9. Ask any questions you think he can answer. Conversely, avoid announcing that you have found the answer to a question he couldn't answer and in your younger brother's second grade reader at that. "10. Call attention to his writing. Produces exquisitely pleasant experiences connected with you. If you know he's written a book or an article, ask in class if he wrote it.

I find that there is no phase of their lives as interesting as the nest- ing period. In the beginning it might be mentioned that most birds are monogamous. This means they have the same mates throughout the period of the dependency of the young. With birds, the entire cycle from birth to maturity oc- curs within a few weeks. The home is built, the eggs are laid and the young are cared for until they become entirely self-sup- porting. Many birds become self-sup- porting within four to six weeks It is correct then, that birds are monogamous even though they do change mates from year to year or even between broods as long as they do not maintain two mates at the same time. The birds which do not migrate prob- ably retain the same mate year after year, and even among some migratory birds the same two birds may resort to the same nesting spot year after year to remate. In the spring of 1929, for exam- ple, a banded female chickadee returned to the same nest box, a garden where she raised her brood the previous year She brought with her. however, a dif- ferent mate. It was observed that by the time the eggs were laid she had a different mate, and it was a still different mate which finally helped her raise her young. A pair of banded song sparrows, on the other hand, rais- ed three broods together in 192H and returned in 1929 and raised three more broods successfully together. In this, as in most as- pects of the home life of birds, there is as much individual dif ference as there is with the hu- man specie, which makes it dif ficult to generalize upon but very fascinating to observe. Indeed, the striking similarity of their lives, actions and responses to our own is so similar that it has led some nature writers to endow them with an intelligence and power of thought that is not justi fied by the facts. Some birds are remarkably faithful to one an- other while others have a greater attachment for their nesting site than they do for their mates A few birds are socialistic; they build a common nest in which several females lay eggs and then share the duties of in- cubation and raising the young Many of the African Weaver Birds and the Palm Chats of Santa Do mingo are socialistic to the ex tent of building a common roof (Continued on page 4) - Wednesday, October 4, 1961— THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Susquehanna University first introduced football as a sport in 1896. Since that time, with seven years out for wars and other sea- sons, the overall Crusader record reads 162 wins, 233 losses, and 31 ties. The first year. 1896, saw the record being 0-2-2, and the first year in which S.U. put together a winning record was in 1897 when they were 4-2-0. Since the inception of the sport, Susquehanna has had only four seasons in which they failed to win a game. These occurred in 1896, 1937, 1953, and 1954. 1932, 1940, and 1960 have been the winningest seasons for the The years 1932, 1940, and 1960 have been the winningest seasons for the Orange and Maroon. In each of these years the gridmen won seven school was in 1951 when Susquehanna was 6-0-0 under Co-Coaches A. A. Stagg Jr. and Sr. The longest streak for having winning seasons stands at three years. In 1950 the log read 4-2-1, in 1951 the Crusaders were 6-0-0, and in '52 they ended with four wins and three defeats. Countered against the above were the years 1898-1904 and 1921-27, both periods seeing Susquehanna having seven losing campaigns in a row. The longest winning streak is nine games, and these nine victories extended over a period of two years. After going undefeated in '51, the Crusaders dropped their first three opponents in 1952 before tasting defeat. Sixteen stands as the record for most games lost in a row. This extended through 1953 and 1954 when the Crusaders went winless and the first four games in '55. The streak was brought to an end when S.U. defeated Wagner College. The most points that Susquehanna scored against an opponent oc- curred in 1902 when they rolled up 104 points against Lykens. Inci- dentally, it was the only game that the Crusaders won that year. A bunch of Indians, namely the Carlisle Indians, handed S.U. their worst defeat when, in 1907, the Indians hammered the Crusaders to the tune of 91-0. The year was 1919 when the Orange and Maroon scored the most number of points in one season; the total was 311. In 1922 S.U. had 252 points scored against them which remains as that record for one campaign. The coach who heads the list in number of years as grid leader is Coach A. A. Stagg Jr. who led the gridmen for 17 years. Some of the outstanding teams the Crusaders faced in the past include Penn State, Bucknell, the Carlisle Indians, Lafayette, Lehigh, Colgate, Fordham, Syracuse, Army, Cornell, Delaware, Rutgers, Buffalo, Gettysburg, and Muhlenberg. The longest series of football games has been held with Swarthmore College. Since the first meeting of the two schools in 1923, twenty contests have been played, with the Crusaders winning eight and los- ing twelve. Other series of great length have been played with Dick- inson, Ursinus, and Wagner. The oldest opponent still playing football is Dickinson College, a team which the Crusaders first played in 1896. Since that date the Crusaders have been 4-11 with the Carlisle school. What To Watch For! Swarthmore vs. S.U. SPEED — Fast team, H.B.s real quick WEIGHT - Not a factor; slight advantage to S.U.

Fiegley, Lyco's top scorer last year, prov- ed his worth to the hustling team as he accounted for three of the four goals and sparkled on of- fense and defense throughout the game. The first score of the game came at 11:30 a.m. of the first quarter as Lycoming gained a di- rect kick at the goal on a holding penalty against the Crusaders. Halfback Bob Barrett's boot was wide and taken by Fiegley who placed it in the left corner of the goal, just out of reach of goalie Frank Yaggi The Susquehanna defense kept Lycoming in check until the 16- minute mark of the third quarter when Fiegley again scored on a corner shot, this time with an as- sist from Bruce McNally. Three minutes later Fiegley headed a goal after a kick by Bob Nucci was blocked. The final scored occurred mid- way through the fourth quarter as Jobe De Carvahlo took a pass from Barrett and placed the ball in the right corner. Susquehanna's loss was the sec- ond of the season as the team dropped a close 1-0 decision to Wilkes last Wednesday. The only score of the game came during the first quarter on a corner kick by Wilkes' center forward.

Our first guest article is by Bob Bechtel and is entitled: Part II: Girl Watching There are some hobbies that require no special place, no expensive equipment, and in which great numbers can participate without the exercise of talent. In fact, some hobbies require no talent at all: such a hobby is "Girl Watching." All men can be divided quickly into three categories: those who watch girls, those who are blind, and those who are dead. T. K. Weissenheimer, the psychologist, further divides the blind into "Girl Listeners" and those who are blind AND deaf. He would break down the largest group of Girl Watchers into those who gaze unashamedly, those who must accompany eye activity with noises, those who shyly look away when caught (then slyly back again), and a strictly neurotic type that denies its interest but engages in frantic glimpses over Hie newspaper. So much for Weisenheimer. It is assumed that the Sus- quehanna male is as normal and unashamed in this extra-curricular activity as any other binocular animal. What, then, are the finer points of this great hobby of mankind? What more aesthetic goals can be defined — in short, what should we search for in all this looking' 1 The research literature is staggering, and the number of individual projects threatens the most advanced concept of infinity. However, let M reach a concensus from the objective point of view. From this approach, one can easily test for himself the classification of girls into three categories: those who like to be watched, those who pretend they don't like to be watched, and those who have given up on life altogether. The first category is no problem We shall consider this later, but the second type demands more attention, both visual and cerebral A. K. Loftus of the American Optical & Lense Co. asserts that the girl who pretends she does not like being watched gives herself away by some easily discerned behavior that enables even a rank amateur to classify her. She ignores the •Watcher.'' or looks quickly away. But, A. K. observes, this is always done with an ostentatious flip of the curls, a frenzied movement of the hands to rearrange such things that need rearranging, or a stiffening ot the body so as to assume more alluring lines. Mr. O. I. Pine reports that after intensive research he concludes that fully 68% of this type will secretly glance in the direction of the •Watcher" to make sure this superb performance has not gone un- noticed. Various reporters tend to confirm these observations so that a tentative hypothesis can be confirmed. When such behavior is ob- served, the "Watcher' can assure himself not only that he has classi- fied a type, but also that his activity has given someone a sense of importance in spite of herself And that brings us to another point the fact that 'Girl Watch- ing" is the noblest and oldest of all the occupations of man. It pro- vides mankind with the highest altruistic goal in the realm of human relations — all "Girl Watchers" give to womankind the supreme goal of womanhood itself: an audience. And then we come to the third group: the quitters; those to whom life holds no promise, who look neither beck nor away, but whose heads bob in regular motion as, with their eyes, they follow their bouncing toes down the concrete walks and quiet hallways of llfo. What can we do? For if, in noticing them, we are unable to break into this silent reverie, this march of the defeated, we shall stoop to a bobbing of heads ourselves. Well, enough of that. The first type is the joy of every "Watcher " She is the girl who enjoys the fact that she is a girl, who enjoys the fact that others enjoy the fact that she enjoys .... This type can be beautiful or plain, well dressed or casual, made up or natural - the evidence that she enjoys life is the source of her attractiveness she never fails to smile, and never pretends to look away. What! Never seen one of these* We can only offer the advice that King Arthur gave to his tired, bartered knights as they gathered to report failure in the search for the Holy Grail after traveling the face of the globe. It is advice to all man however secure or dektiluie their position, in Uie may be. It is advice that all men can follow to lift themselves from the mire of existence: KEEP LOOKING!

New Student Nurses Plan Health Center If you have made use of Sus- quehanna's health center, locat- ed at 300 University Avenue, your nurse was probably either Miss Wanda Stroup, of Muncy, Pa., a 1957 honor graduate of Muncy High School, or Miss Donna Gray, of Hughesville, Pa., who also graduated with honors from Hughesville High School class of 1958. Both Miss Stroup and Miss Gray have completed training at the Geisinger Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. The University Health Center will strive to keep the health of the students at optimum level and to meet health needs effi- ciently so the student can carry on studies with minimum loss of class time. Clinic hours for the health cen- ter are as follows: Monday through Friday 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday hours are from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. There will be no clinic hours on Sunday. Students are encouraged to come between 9 00 and 10:00 a.m., for during these hours, one of three alternating physicians will be on duty. Only emergencies will be seen after clinic hours. In the event of an extreme emergency, students must provide transporta- tion to doctor or hospital. In such an emergency, if no transporta- tion can be found. Mr. Dodge or Dr. Zimmer will be willing to pro- vide transportation. Students are advised by the nurses to take adequate precau- tions to prevent contracting colds and other ailments. Dressing for the weather, getting eight hours of sleep, and eating regular meals are essential precautions. Crusaders Bomb Ursinus (Continued from page 1) 21-6. However, the scoring for the day was not finished by a long shot. A determined Ursinus team took the kickoff and began to march. They picked up three first downs but were finally stall- ed on their own 45 as the Crusad- er pass defense tightened. Ron Ritz's kick sailed high and long into the hands of Terry Kissinger on the Crusader 25. Seventy-five yards later, a bewildered Ur- sinus team found Kissinger, for whom they had diligently been searching the field, standing in the end zone. The dazzling run was complimented by a jarring block thrown by Luscko. One block was all Kissinger needed as the SU speedster added an- other touchdown. Again Tom Samuels added the extra point to wrap up the scoring for the day. Final score: Susquehanna — 28, Ursinus — 6. Crusader Notes: The Ursinus score was the first on an S.U. team in over 280 minutes of play- ing time. If the K-boys continue they may be a threat to the Yankee M-squad. Don Green, still bothered by a bad knee, managed to "hobble" off several very nice end runs. SU guard, "Soup" Campbell, became a backfield man as he returned one of the Bears' kickoffs. Tom Sam- uels' toe is not his only talent; the Crusader linebacker also in- tercepted a Bear pass. Out Of A Test Tube (Continued from page 2) beneath which each pair builds its nest. Occasionally a male bird, un- able to find a mate of his own kind, will adopt another species and even drive away the rightful male This has been observed with a Carolina Wren which took over a family of House Wrens. There are many variations in rfkition to the nesting of birds, but in many ways their habits greatly resemble ours. Don't women have most of the respon- sibility for the home placed on their shoulders in our society? Yes, there are many animal char- acteristics to which we can point. Perhaps we can get a better pic- ture of ourselves by looking more closely at these creatures. COMING ATTRACTIONS Richard Dyre Bennett Fresh Stunt Nite Little Man On Campus Lonesome End Homecoming 1941 THETA CHI Mrs. Mary Cox, commonly re- ferred to as Mom, has returned to Theta Chi Fraternity for her second year as housemother. Still as cheerful and warm heart- ed as ever, Mom Cox adds that domestic touch which is often lacking in a fraternity house. The brothers and friends of Beta Omega chapter welcome Mom back for what is hoped to be an- other fine year. On the musical side, songleader Bob Summers is preparing the brotherhood for the annual Fall serenade to be given shortly. Paul Tressler and the Big Red football squad have been prac- ticing diligently for the past few weeks in anticipation of the first game with Alpha House. With the new red uniforms, Dave Smith should have no excuses for throw- ing to the wrong man. Parents Day, October 7, will see the Second Annual Parents Club meeting at five o'clock in the fraternity house. A buffet din- ner will follow for the brothers and their parents. PHI MU DELTA Representing Susquehanna in athletics this fall are brothers Mike Rupprecht, Mike Voiles, Dick Garrett, and John Garrett on the Crusader football team; Pete Beiger, Bob McKee, Len Purcell, Frang Yaggi, George Phillips, and manager Bob Aerni on the soccer team; Bill Pearson and Jim Updegrove on cross country. Once again Phi Mu Delta open- ed pre-season intramural football practice without a football. Great strides, however, have been made in molding a championship con- tender and soon the sound of el- bow against teeth will again be heard echoing across the campus. Brother Barry Hackenberg will conduct a football clinic between halves this year, it has been an- nounced by coaches Coates and Pressley. An indication of the toughness of this year's team was recorded on the right rear fender of Les Butler's car during a scrimmage game with Theta Chi last week. PHI EPSILON After much hard work and pre- paration, the brothers of Phi Ep- silon are now established in their new home at 301 University Ave- nue. It was the pleasure of the fraternity brothers to entertain the freshmen women during Ori- entation Week at their new resi- dence. Plans are now being formulated for an Open House to be held in the near future. Phi Epsilon extends special thanks to social chairman, Tony Columbet, for the fine evening he planned for the brothers and their dates at the Bar-B-Q Dance held last Saturday night. The Phi Eps entertained the women of the campus with their new fraternity songs. Congratu- lations to song leader, Jim San- dahl, for the fine job he did in arranging and conducting the torchlight serenade. President Jeff Whitney an- nounced that the following posi- tions were filled: House Manag- er, Walt Shirk; Representative to the Men's Judiciary Board, Harry Strine; and Scholarship Chairman, John Eggert. Phi Ep- silon extends its congratulations to each of these brothers. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA The brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha welcomed eight new men into the brotherhood on Monday night, September 25. The newly initiated brothers are: Richard Howe, Donald Green, George Fecker, Michael Johnston, Wil- liam Lips, Norman Harris, Joseph Billig, and Robert Suloman. The brotherhood extends its heartiest congratulations to these new wearers of the crescent. The National Management Training Seminar of Lambda Chi Alpha was held at DePauw Uni- versity in Greencastle, Indiana, during the latter part of August. Brothers Tom Hanshaw and Dick Rowe, who attended the Seminar, said it was a very rewarding ex- perience. The Bunder intramural football team has been practicing hard and is looking forward to a suc- cessful season. ATTENTION STUDENTS!

ALPHA XI DELTA The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta are proud to announce the ac- ceptance of four new initiates into their circle of friendship on Thursday evening, September 28. The new initiates are: Karen Bond, Betty Lou Burns, Martha Sue Detjen, and Donna Zeilman. On the morning of their initiation the girls were awakened quite early to be taken on a ride and then to the Iron Skillet for break- fast. Upon the return from break- fast, the girls were presented with Alpha Xi Delta mums to be worn on the day of their initia- tion. To make the day complete, the four new sisters were taken to the Dutch Pantry after their initiation ceremony. The sisters wish to extend a most hearty welcome to the new initiates who will now also be wearing the greatly cherished quill of Alpha Xi Delta. The Alpha Xi Delta sisters were kept quite busy last week with the visit of Mrs. Pell, their chap- ter inspector, who remained on campus from Wednesday until Saturday. A reception was held in honor of Mrs. Pell following the regular sorority meeting on Wednesday evening. The sisters are happy to an- nounce the election of Sister Ann Schaeffer as representative from the new women's dormitory to the Women's Judiciary Board. Finally, after a lot of confusion of moving into the new dormitory, the sisters have gotten things in order in their beautiful new so- rority room. They are also well pleased with the arrangement of the new sorority suites. ->.

Dr. Rahter had received unoffi- cial notice concerning this ap- pointment from the Dean of Fac- ulty earlier this semester, and was already acting in that posi- tion. Dr. Rahter, a native of Harris- burg, did his undergraduate work at Western Maryland College. While there he was selected for membership in the Scholastic Honor Society and was graduated Cum Laude. Dr. Rahter took his post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, re- ceiving his M.A. in 1951 and his Ph.D. in 1958. Before joining the Susquehanna faculty. Dr. Rahter was a mem- ber of the English departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Douglas College — the women's division of Rutger's University — and Elizabethtown College. At Susquehanna, Dr. Rahter teaches courses in Freshman Composi- tion, English Literature, The Eng- lish Language, Eighteenth Cen- tury Literature and Elementary Latin. In a statement to the Crusader, Dr. Rahter said that the English department has long range plans concerning the addition of new courses in the field. The English department has been relieved of some of its heavy schedule with the addition of Miss Apalian. Still more professors are needed, however, before the departments will be to the point Dr. Rahter wishes. When asked about future plans, the new department head stated. "We are looking forward to a revised and expanded cur- riculum to make English Litera- ture as good a major as one can get in the undergraduate field. We are trying to meet the needs of those students who intend to enter the teaching profession and those who intend to take graduate work." Freshman class officers for 1961-62 are: (left to right) Doug Rey- nolds, President; Chuck Ashburn, Student Council; Phyllis Garver, Secretary; Art Bowen, Treasurer; and Tom Endres, Vice-President. Frosh Class Elects Officers; Reynolds, Endres Head Slate by RuthAnn Smiley The freshmen of S.U.'s campus have completed their first step toward becoming a class by choosing their officers.

Reynolds; Vice-President, Thomas E. En- dres; Secretary. Phyllis E. Gar- ver; Treasurer, Arthur T. Bowen; and Student Council Representa- tive, Charles P. Ashburn. Doug is a graduate of Allentown Senior High School in Allentown. New Jersey. He has proved his leadership ability by his record in high school. Doug participated in both the junior and senior plays and also in The American Legion Oratorical Contest. He kept busy as the sports editor of his school yearbook and was the commis- sioner of athletics which put him in charge of many athletic events. Doug enjoys sports and played on the varsity basketball team in high school; he hopes to con- tinue playing basketball at Sus- quehanna.

But his statement holds some truth for just as this drupaceous fruit is centered around its pit so are life's standards centered around their pitfalls. Every phase of society is confronted with a pattern of behavior but every phase is also bothered with irregularities; to alleviate or guide these discrepancies stems the need for rules and regulations. College students sometimes tend to be a slight bit indifferent to rules and regulations. 'It seems so hypocritical after repeatedly being told they are mature, strong-minded individuals. I They seem to forget they are expected to conform to the traditional pattern of campus living which has been adopted by their college. It is not easy for modern youth to feel themselves mere scholars restricted by another behavior code. They do not realize that campus years are peak years of ethical learning as well as academic learn- ing. They must learn to accept discipline in the same manner they do professional knowledge. The axiom "laws are made to be broken" does not hold true on college campuses. Each rule is made for a decisive purpose, and the so-called intelligentsia are expected to obey each rule. Administrators do not "comb" their minds searching for additional restrictions to throw at students. Students perform the wrongs and the administrators establish measures to prevent the evil-doings from happening again. It is not the reverse as some disgruntled students desire to believe. Students must realize that college regulations are formulated to safeguard the students' reputations and to assure a favorable reflec- tion for the college. They are not made to satisfy whims. P.G.

ASK THEM TO SEND THEIR SUBSCRIPTION TODAY TO: THE CRUSADER SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY SELINSGROVE, PENNSYLVANIA The Other Side of the Desk by Sharon Martin Probably the most talked about subject on a college campus, aside from football, is the adventurous new life of a student teacher. Bombarded with questions such as "Where are you teaching, what subjects, what about your master teacher, how are your kids, etc.?," the new teacher is quite the center of attraction. Whether it be the new interest or just plain curiosity, everyone wants to be informed of the whereabouts, whys, and hows of the student teacher. MR. JEFFREY SAFFORD The growth of Susquehanna over recent years has necessitat- ed additional staff members in all phases of the school life. One of the greater needs, an assistant for the overworked Public Rela- tions office, has been met in the person of Mr. Jeffrey J. Safford. Mr. Safford, formerly of Plain- field, N.J., is now handling the majority of sports releases from the public relations office. In ad- dition to this tremendous task he is an English instructor for a freshman composition class and serves as the journalism profes- sor. A New Yorker by birth, Mr. Safford comes to S.U. from Wag- ner College where he earned his B.A. and M.S. degrees. While at Wagner he starred on the base- ball team, was a member of the college choir and was selected to "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Col- leges." The new S.U. staff member has served as a chaplain's assistant, organist, choir director and main- tains active interests in sacred music, Baroque organ, and ath- letics. Here at Susquehanna he has been welcomed by the Cru- sader staff as their faculty ad- visor. In his post as Crusader advisor he has been of endless help to the staff members. While giving the co-editors a free hand to run the paper, he has always been willing to offer advice and render assistance whenever possible. It is Mr. Safford's hope that the journalism class can be co-ordin- ated with the Crusader and that in the future prospective staff members will receive their train- ing in that class. This year's Big and Little Sis- ter Banquet, tonight at 6:30 In Horton Dining Hall, has a special feature— it will be a served meal. This is owed to the excellent co- operation and planning of S.U.'s dietition, Mrs. Pauline Lauver. The menu for the dinner consists of roast chicken breast, baked potato, string beans with mush- rooms, salad, cake, and milk, coffee, or tea. Special guests for the evening include Dean Steltz; the house- mothers, Mrs. Miller, Miss Turn- er, and Mrs. Graybill; and fra- ternity housemothers, Mrs. Cox, and Mrs. Carter. Sponsored by the Student Christian Association, the banquet is held each year to aid the upper classwomen, as well as the freshmen girls, in get- ting better acquainted. Publicity chairman, Joan Lare, and her committee have been busy com- pleting favors for the expected 240 people. But what about the student teacher himself? What are his reactions to this new and exciting life? Just how does he react to his new responsibilities? If we take time to make a study of this situation, we would find various types of reactions to this new life. First, we have NERVOUS NAN- CY, who is simply terrified of her new teaching experience, and who wakes up each morning with an acute case of "butterflies". She continuously fears she'll never make a good student teach- er, and yet, with each passing day, she finds herself more ac- climated to the profession. In fact, in just a few short weeks, we find her off her diet of Moth- er Fletcher's Anti-nervous pills. Next, we have SAM SUPERI- ORITY, whose only interest is his feeling of importance; the "Big man in the classroom." His only tools are a pair of glasses, a book, and his egotistical attitude of "OK, kids, Sam is here!" And last of all, we have AVER- AGE ANNIE, the calm, cool, and collected personality whose main interest is learning all she can concerning the teaching profes- sion and relating it to her stu- dents. Her major asset is her calm attitude and her interest in a job well done. AVERAGE ANNIE is the master teacher's delight and a credit to any class- room. Yes, student teaching is quite the life! And like all professions, it has its ups and downs. There are many times when one feels like "giving up the ship", until that fateful day when he or she either walks across campus or stands in front of the classroom and hears that only too familiar phrase, "Hi, Teach!" Annual Parents' Day Scores Success at SU An air of excitement, coupled with joy and anticipation filled the air on Saturday, October 7. And why shouldn't it? It was Parents' Day! Although a low- lying fog enveloped the campus early in the morning, it was soon followed by the promised sun- shine which slowly appeared in its place. Anxious students hur- ried from one morning class to another, at the same time keep- ing a watchful eye out for those familiar faces from home. At last Mom and Dad arrived on the scene, much to the students' re- lief. Registration of all parents took place in the basement lounge of Seibert Hall. By noon the weath- er was just beautiful, and mums and Moms were the attractions on S.U.'s campus that special day. The football game added an- other tingle of excitement as the undefeated Crusaders went on to take Swarthmore by a score of 34-12. The throng dissipated In various directions after the game. Some attended the Parent-Facul- ty Tea, while others went to open houses and teas given by the so- rorities and fraternities on cam- pus. Kenya Student, Gideon Okwiya Jells about SU Gideon Okwiya, who has been in America for only one month, finds himself very much at home and is enjoying his life at Sus- quehanna. It is interesting to note features of his home life and education in Kenya, Africa. Gideon has been married for four years, and is hoping that arrangements will be made within a year to bring his wife and two-and-one- half year old daughter, Ethlyne, to America. His wife is a nurse and is employed in his home prov- ince. He met his wife during his first year at Siriba Teacher Training College. Previous to entering this col- lege, he was educated at an Af- rican government school in Kaka- mega which he attended for sev- en years. Here he carried such courses as English, S w a h i 1 i, math 'algebra and geometry), history of the British Empire, geography, general science, phys- ics, chemistry, religious knowl- edge, and British literature. He studied most of these courses for at least three years and others for a period of six years. During his seven years at this school, he took only five exams including an entrance and a graduate exam! Besides this training, he received basic skills in a five- year primary school and an abundance of practical knowledge at the home of his father. Gideon began his education at the age of 11, and he left home at this age to board at all the schools which he attended. Throughout his time in school he was always at the head of his class, a position most creditable. Gideon also excelled in sports, hockey being his favorite game. It is Gideon's hope that he may, while in America, acquire more advanced and specialized studies to augment his African educa- tion. He is already classified as Kenya Teacher One and was em- ployed by the Swedish Lutheran Mission for one year at the Itierio Intermediate School. Gideon arrived in New York City by jet on September fourth. This is the first time that he has been out of his native country; and when he arrived in America, he had no idea what school he was going to attend. He had not corresponded with this school nor knew anything about Susquehan- na until he set foot on the cam- pus for Freshmen Orientation. The Lutheran World Federation, his sponsor, made the choice of Susquehanna and completed all arrangements for him. When asked to comment on his thoughts and impressions of S.U., he became very enthusiastic and replied that he is amazed at the kindness that has been extended to him by both the faculty and the students. '"I feel quite at home which is a promising start and have been very much im- pressed with all the assistance I have received and the many in- vitations that people have given (Continued on Page e) WHITE SOUND by RAY CRAGLE Responses to Bob BechteTs article on girl watching were varied. Some young ladies gazed strickenly at it, murmuring, "It's — so true. It's so true."' Others were merely transfixed. Co-eds analyzed themselves as type I or II. (Nobody confessed to type III.) Then there was Mary Jablonski. Rallying to the side of the stronger sex, she defends the girls in her essay on Male- Watching: MALE WATCHING by Mary Jablonski A fascinating new hobby has arisen. Of course it isn't exactly new. Eve practiced this hobby quite well until she switched her gaze from Adam to a snake. (My guess is that Adam, having no competi- tion, began to take her for granted; and the poor girl was starved for compliments. ) The new aspect is that in this modern age of equal- ity we can admit the hobby frankly. It is best to be a bit sneaky about it, however, because every man carries a vision of the lady his mother or grandmother was. The modern girl must affect a neat compromise between vision and reality with a heavy leaning toward vision. The first main class of male watchers is the artistic girl who ob- serves from a distance. What is more cleanly graceful than the male form in motion? A girl had better stand still because artistically she cannot compete with the beauty of a man's movement. This class of male watchers abound among the spectators at an athletic event. No matter how much school spirit the girl professes to feel, she does not really care how many times the football advances over the goal line. She is uttterly absorbed in watching the man. Adherents of psychology might contend that she envies the man's status and is experiencing vicariously his exclusive right to advance aggressively: but we, girls, know better. The true beauty lies in seeing the strong force of a man's body under exquisite control. So, girls, when that handsome halfback tramples all over your feet on a dance floor, re- call the image of him as he charged the line. It won't help your feet, but of what importance is a fractured toe to art? The members of the second major class watch men at a close range. The' first type in this class is the epitome of the modern girl; she observes men frankly and openly. Sooner or later due to the marvelous range of the human eye, he will glance in her direction. She then gives him a healthy, open smile, and in no time they are discussing the weather and other appropriate topics. Type number two is the shy or coy variety (Shyness is almost extinct in this age; coyness is the substitute.) This type differs from the first only in her reaction when the male finally returns her look. The best practitioners can blush on cue, but many must be satisfied with the technique of re-directing their gaze hurriedly and confusedly. The man generally responds in one of two ways. If, like most men, he is patently aware of his own attractiveness, he will understand the situation immediately and find some proper way to open a conversa- tion, like retrieving some article she has dropped. It's a more com- plex procedure, but effective. Occasionally type two will discover that the man under observation becomes uncomfortable, thinking something is wrong with his appearance and rushes away to check. Well, he probably wasn't worth knowing anyway. Type three gazes surreptitiously. In the days when she had a delicate fan to hide behind she was successful, but now she is likely to find the man gravitating toward one of the girls of the two pre- viously discussed types. | There is one major hazard in the sport and art of male watching — married men are not effectively marked. Danger makes any sport more thrilling, so few are intimidated by the possibility of being ap- proached by the man's wife instead of the man. A few pointers might aid in lessening the danger. First, look for a wedding ring, or dur- ing summer, an untanned band around his ring finger. If you dis- cover the latter, watch out! Look for another male watcher; if she stares at him grimly, she is his wife. You need not be too concerned about encountering a married man. After all, the very fact that he is married proves that some woman was able to handle him. Every girl from age 1 to 100 watches males, if only to say, "He isn't as handsome as my Harry." The very best male watching, as every woman knows, is watching a man who is watching you with a glow of love in his eyes.

Graybill and Miss Carolyn K. Turner. Being in charge of so many effervescent college girls is no small job, but both ladies are en- thusiastic supporters of Susque- hanna and "their girls." Mrs. Graybill is housemother at Seibert. Miss Turner is in charge of the New Women's Dormitory. Mrs. Graybill, a native of Lee, attended school at Pond Hill, Pennsylvania. Before her mar- riage Mrs. Graybill owned and operated a small store.

Page 4— THE CRUSADER— Wednesday, October II, 1961 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE over hill & dale Crusaders Hammer Swarthmore 34-1 2; Luscko Gets Three TD's Since new sports have recently been introduced at Susquehanna and other sports have been given greater emphasis, there are more athletes attending the school than ever before. This writer would like to describe just what qualities a man must have before he can be looked upon as an athlete. For those of you who play or have played sports, take a look and see if you possess the traits listed below. For those who think that all it takes to be an athlete is physical skill, we hope this will help you to understand that other qualities are often as important, if not more so than physical ability. The athlete must want to win. He must be filled with a burning desire to be the best. If he is going to be satisfied with second-best, it's sure he'll never end up as a winner. An athlete must be jealous. He must accept a loss as a challenge with future victory as revenge. He must desire this revenge and push himself beyond his accepted capabilities to achieve that revenge. He may accept sportsmanship in a consolation role, but must enter the next competition with a strong hatred that grows from defeat. The athlete must be conceited. He must know that he is the best and that no one can do the job with the precision that he can. Any coach will tell you that if a boy goes into competition with the slight- est thought that his opponent may be better than he is, he may as well have stayed in the locker room. An athlete must be pampered. He must turn to others and demand congratulations for his accomplishments. Below that embarrassed smile he must know the warmth of acceptance and the disgust of re- jection. Lets face it, everyone likes to be praised, and the athlete is no different. However, the athlete must be careful not to let the plaudits go to his head, just as he must not allow the boo's which he is sure to hear make him feel that what he is doing is useless. This then is the picture of an athlete with his necessary hates, jealousies, conceits, and ambitions. When two boxers enter the ring, it is this feeling of hate that makes one want to destroy the other. When a football player hits the line, he must have a feeling of con- ceit to prove that he is better than the defenders. The guy who tries out for a forward position on the basketball squad must be jealous of anyone else trying out for the same spot. This enables him to put out everything that he is capable of, and makes for a better team. Athletics, then, is a constant war. It is man against man in the struggle for superiority, and the man who possesses the above tal- ents to the utmost end will end up the superior. What To Watch For! S.U. vs. Wagner PAST PERFORMANCE- PMC 14 — Wagner Haverford 6 — Wagner 34 Kings Point 19 — Wagner 16 Speed — Fast for their size. Ends are very quick. Weight — S.U. will be at a disadvantage. Only two men in Wagner's line are under 200 lbs. Offense — Mainly a passing team. No. 10 quarterback Cavilli will throw 60% of the time. Receivers have sure hands. They run a lot of swings, and delays. Defense — Very tough linebackers, inside and outside. Interior line play is good. Special — Quarterback Don Cavilli ranks among the best QB's in the East. #44 Wilson, right end, terrific hands, 205 lbs. #30 Melos, RHB, best back on team, great speed, TD threat. #33 Johnston, LHB, a fine runner and pass receiver. Attitude - Wagner is tough. Stop Cavilli and S.U. will have win number four. ___^_ Hockey Squad looks to A Successful Season The thudding of footballs, the banging of helmets, and the cracking of hockey sticks are echoes of the hustle and bustle throughout the campus during the afternoon hours. With the vic- torious, undefiable Garrettmen. the potential, neophyte hockey squad will add a chapter of suc- cess this season to the expanding Susquehanna athletic manual. Under the direction of M. Kay Cochran, the six returning let- termen and the eleven new mem- bers form a skillful, fast driving squad, which adheres great promise for a victorious season. The swift moving line finds its powerhouse of strength focused upon center, Margie Brandt, and right and left inners, Ann Latimer and Toby Brodisch re- spectively. Promising freshmen wings, Karen Siegfried and Lee Bruno complete the offensive team. (Continued en Page S) PLAUDITS PLUS to Mr. Steffy, Lynn Lerew and the 1961 Version of the S. U. Marching Band A GREAT GROUP, A GREAT SOUND lit Crusader Staff by Dottie Anderson & Pat Goetz Cross Country? What's that? Recently we had reason to find out. The day dawned gray, and it turned to drizzle just in time for the start of the big race. Susque- hanna was vying with Millers- ville State. Starting at the foot- ball track (caught in the mesh of football practice, which never stopped once), the brave runners started off in a bunch trouncing first around tennis courts, across the girl's hockey field, and up the road to the fraternity houses and the cemetery. Meanwhile, we stepped into a car with our guide, and raced out to the road in time to see our joggers cross the corn field. We beat them up to the State School road and (leaving the car behind) down into a beautiful (even in the by now pouring rain) apple orch- ard. This was the half way point, and our fleet-footed boys had to feel their way over a mud and stone path. As we were picking apples, our crew came speeding by, a little bedraggled, but still going strong. By now they had run about three miles. Slipping our way back up the hill in back of our guide, we got back to the car and really traveled down to the road in time to see the last runner trudging along the road. No, we couldn't give him a lift back to school. But his feet must have really hurt. We again picked up speed to catch them on still another hill in back of the state school, but we missed them. Oops! There they are coming out the road and back to the cemetery retracing their steps and ending up at the track. Panting, grunting, but complete- ly happy, the boys came in one by one. With Millersville, a much more experienced team, taking first and second place, they won the meet. What makes them do it? Prac- ticing the course (all six miles of it), exercising. Why don't they cut across a road, especially when no one's around, and their feet feel bruised and sore? It is pure love of sport and athletic honor, the feeling of exhileration at com- petition of the race. It seems to us that this newly formed team deserves much credit and support from the stu- dents. Under the coaching of Mr. David Hyndman, we predict that the S.U. Cross Country team will see many a fine race in the years to come.

Hall vs. Alpha House 2 South Dorm vs. North Dorm by Joe Joyce Susquehanna's Crusaders, sparked by junior halfback John Luscko who scored three touchdowns, smashed Swarthmore College 34-12 last Saturday before a Parents' Day crowd to gain their third consecutive victory. Leading 14-6 at halftime, the Garrettmen scored two TD's in the third quarter and added an- other one in the final period to clinch the victory. Luscko took the opening kick- off on the 11 yd. line, and return- ed it to the S.U. 44. From here, with Kerstetter, Kissinger, and Green carrying, the Crusaders moved to the five yd. line. Two plays later Luscko scored from the two yd. line. Tom Samuels added the extra point, and with the clock reading 11:08 Susque- hanna led 7-0. After forcing the Little Quak- ers to punt, the Crusaders moved from their own 32 to the Swarth- more 43 yd. line. On fourth down, Kissinger sailed a punt to the Quaker 16 yd. line where half- back Bernie Beitman fumbled, and S.U. captain Ben DiFrances- co recovered. Kerstetter and Luscko alternat- ed in carrying the mail, and in four plays Luscko again crashed over right tackle for his second six-pointer. Samuels split the up- rights with his place kick to make it 14-0. With about eight minutes left in the first half, Susquehanna was forced to punt from deep in Cru- sader territory. Starting on the S.U. 36 yd. marker, Swarthmore moved to the Crusader 15 by vir- tue of a pass interference penalty. S.U. was then caught offsides on two consecutive plays advancing the pigskin to the Orange and Maroon five yd. line. Beitman carried to the one from where auarterback Mike Lillie scored. As the two teams left the field for intermission, it was S.U. 14 — Swarthmore 6. Susquehanna tallied quickly in the second half when Luscko re- covered a Garnet fumble on the Swarthmore 35, and six plays later QB Don Green rolled into paydirt from the seven to put S.U. in the lead 20-6. In a matter of four more min- utes the Crusader offense struck again and the score was 27-6. Kissinger picked off a Garnet aerial on his own 25, and went 40 yds. before being hauled down on the Swarthmore 35 yd. stripe. Green then threw a strike to end Mike Rupprecht on the seven. Two cracks was all it took for John Luscko to rack up his third TD of the day. Tom "The Toe" Samuels tacked on another P.A.T. In the final quarter Coach Gar- rett gave his reserves some ac- tion, but the S.U. scoring was far from being over. Starting from their own 34, the Crusaders mov- ed to the midfield stripe; then Green flipped to Kissinger and the play ended on the Swarthmore 18. Five plays later freshman speedster Larry Erdman scooted into the end zone from seven yards out. Samuels' place kick made it 34-6. The Garnet came right back to end the game with a touch- down. Quarterback Lillie found Prescott with an aerial on the S.U. 46, and then he threw to Green on the 12 yd. line. Beit- man ended the scoring with a touchdown from the one. Tackle Joe Perfilio injured his knee in the second period. Wheth- er he will see action this Satur- day is doubtful. — All-American Butch DiFrancesco played a terrific ball game. Ben was all over the field making tackles and throwing key blocks. In between, he recovered two fumbles and in- tercepted a pass. — Susquehanna could use another refreshment stand at home games. — Tackle Neal Markle failed to see action because of an injury. — Hauser and Rowlands were the key fac- tors in S.U.'s defensive game. —Freshmen Cuccio, Gibney, and Hirsch were impressive. — This week's opponent, Wagner Col- lege, has Susquehanna well scout- ed. Former SU head coach "Whitey" Keil, now backfield coach at Wagner, covered the opening game, and they had two coaches in the pressbox on Sat- urday. The Lutheran Liturgy Our next task is to define wor- ship. (Since most of us already know what praise is, it will not be necessary to deal with it.) Evelyn Underbill offers us the simplest definition: "Worship, in all its grades and kinds, is the response of the creature to the Eternal." Paul Strodach defines worship as the "seeking and ap- prehending of the Presence of God." Robert Will reminds us that worship is a two-way street: "In the phenomena of worship, we see two currents of life moot, one proceeding from the tran- scendent Reality, the other flow- ing from the religious life of the subject; one descending, the oth- er ascending. Those two cur- ents »n not only to bo recognized in the sacramental and sacrificial aspects of worship— the descend- ind current includes all forms of revelations, the ascending, all forms of prayer." "Worship, however, is more than action and interaction be- tween God and man; it must be worthy action. Worth-ship, the original meaning of the word, sug- gests that our worship be worthy of the God whom we praise. Worship as seen in this vast concept, is central to the life of the Church and is the goal of all endeavor." Let us now turn to another as- pect of worship: the distinction between private and public wor- ship. "Private devotion is the duty and privilege of the individ- ual .. . Public worship, on the other hand, is the privilege and responsibility of the church. It must be ordered and administer- ed. It is faith in action. Times, places, forms, and musical set- tings must be provided. Rever- ence, dignity, beauty, and effi- ciency can best be attained by appropriate formality." Patronize Crusader Advertisers Out Of A Test Tube by TOM HANSHAW Through the centuries, man has been plagued with the question, "From whence did I come?" Although this question will never, or can never, be answered to the complete satisfaction of all, many people have devoted their lives searching for an answer. Many theories, propositions, theses, and books have been presented to the world; but none had the earth shaking effect upon civilization, religion, educa- tion and the every day lives of the populus as Charles Darwin's book Origin of the Species. This publication raised Darwin from an above average biologist of his day to one of the most famous and controver- sial figures in history. Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in Shrewsbury, England; he was the fifth of six children of Robert Waring and Susannah Wedgwood Darwin. He received his ele- mentary education at a boarding school where the curriculum was almost entirely classical. Charlie found it exceedingly dull and un- interesting. Because of his dis- like for the subject matter and the boarding school, Darwin never excelled as a scholar. During these early years he developed a great love for dogs, and for that matter, all forms of animal life. His father, desiring that he become a doctor, greatly disap- proved of Charles' interests and once said, "You care for nothing but shooting, dogs, and rat- catching; you will be a disgrace to yourself and your family." Although he was primarily in- terested in animals, Charlie had a great love for poetry and espe- cially the works of William Shakespeare. Probably his great- est enjoyment was helping his brother with chemistry experi- ments. On this issue, his school master denounced him severely and said that his endeavors in science were useless. In 1825, Charlie entered medical school at Edinburgh, but again he was not motivated to exploit himself to his capacity. He said this about his activities at med- ical school and his future: "I be- came convinced -from various small circumstances that my fa- ther would leave me property enough to subsist on with some comfort, though I never imagin- ed that I should be so rich a man as I am; but my belief was suf- ficient to check any strenuous effort to learn medicine." From Darwin's words we would sus- pect that he did not distinguish himself at medical school, but this is not the case. During his term there, he gained the respect of many of the great scientists of England in the mid-1800's. He associated with them at confer- ences and biological meetings and learned a great deal about natural history which was to lead him to world fame. Darwin did not finish his stu- dies at medical school. At his father's request he entered Cam- bridge University to study for the clergy. He graduated from Cam- bridge in January 1831, and said this of his stay at the University: "My time was wasted, as far as the academic studies were con- cerned, as completely as at Edin- burgh and at school." Again Charlie was underestimating his achievements at school, for he distinguished himself as an out- standing student and campus leader. It was here that Charlie met Dr. Henslow, a botanist of great renown, and a great friend- ship was cemented. This was a meeting which would be a great stepping stone, for it was through Henslow that Charlie got the greatest opportunity of his life — the voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle. The Beagle was a British naval vessel which in 1832 explored the islands of the Central and South Atlantic. On this cruise Darwin collected material which would be included in his greatest works. He was particularly interested in geology, botany and zoology; therefore, during his stay on the Beagle he took particular notice? to the products of nature around him. The Beagle finally returned to England on September 2, 1836, after a voyage of five years. Back in England, Darwin be- gan his untiring research and wrote several books, the most famous was, of course, The Ori- gin of the Species. This great work was published in 1859, and proved to be one of the most con- troversial publication to come (Continued on Page 6) LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Marine Corps Team To Visit SU Campus On October 16, A Marine Corps Officer Selection Team will visit the campus of Susquehanna Uni- versity to interview students who are interested in becoming offi- cers in the United States Marine Corps. Primarily, there are two pro- grams for the male student: one for freshmen, sophomores and juniors; the other for seniors and recent graduates. The first program, popularly know as PLC (Platoon Leaders Class) can be summed up briefly by the following features: (a) Remain in school with draft deferment. (b) No on-campus meetings or drills — just two (2) six week summer courses at Quantico, Virginia. (c) Pay while in summer train- ing — and increased pay later as an officer, by rea- son of seniority. (d) Commissioning on gradua- tion day followed by three (3) years active duty. Under the Officer Candidate Course, for seniors and recent graduates, completion of a ten week Officer Candidate School at Quantico, Virginia, is followed by commissioning as a second lieu- tenant and three (3) years of active duty. In the case of stu- dents applying for the Aviation Officer Candidate Course, the ac- tive duty obligation is approxi- mately a year and a half longer because of flight training. For the female students, the Marine Corps has the Women Officer Training Class. This pro- gram is open to juniors, seniors, and recent graduates. To be eli- gible for this program, a student must be single, 21-28 years of age with a B.S. or B.A. degree. The training consists of 12 weeks of formal classes. (In the case of juniors, this training can be start- ed during the summer after com- pletion of the junior year of col- lege.) Those young men and women who are interested in becoming a part of the finest military or- ganization in the world are invit- ed to contact the Marine Corps Officer Selection team when it visits Susquehanna University on 16th of October. Wednesday, October 11, 1961— THE CRUSADER— Page 5 TABBY'S TALE Dear Pip— I would have written to you sooner, but your father got tidy and put the typewriter away. This typewriter case has a new-fan- gled sort of latch on it, and frank- ly — clever as I am about ripping the tops off of cream bottles, etc. — I could not open it without help. I summoned Geoffrey. I pushed one side in with my paw while Geoff shoved the other side with his nose. It just goes to show that you should never de- pend on a dog. That stupid dog did not get his nose out of the way fast enough, and the latch pinched him a little bit. Well, you should have heard the yelp- ing. You would have thought the vacuum cleaner had attacked him again. He ran barking through the house. Then your mother came and bawled me out — a poor helpless little cat — for scratching his nose. Humph! If I had scratched him, he would have done more than yelp and bark! Well, fortunately for you, my dear, some untidy person left the typewriter out again, and now I can write you. I have looked at your schedule with interest. I notice that all of your classes are during the day — some even as early as eight o'clock in the morning. Now any- one knows that the best time for doing anything is at night. By the way, I forgot to ask you if any of the authorities were dogs. If there is a preponderance of dogs on the faculty, this of course, would explain why most of your classes are during the day. Dogs are quite different in their philosophical outlook on life from cats. They have been cozying up to the human race for years. It is not for nothing that they are known as Man's Best Friend's). They have adopted some of the less desirable char- acteristics of humans such as working during the day and sleep- ing at night. You must learn to be tolerant. Poor things, they do not know any better. You may run into trouble trying to get the authorities to embrace my theo- ries of life. If, after you have explained why night-living is bet- ter than day-living, there is still some resistence, perhaps you had better conform. At least for the next four years. I was going to give you some advice about tomcats. After thinking it over, I realize that I could write a book on the sub- ject. Right now, I have written so much that my poor claws are getting quite dull. Pip, I want you to know as much about tom- cats as the next cat, but I cannot jeopardize my ability to defend myself by typing too much at one sitting. That probably is the first and most important advice I can give you. Always keep your claws sharp. All male animals — human, feline, or canine — are beset by pride. To have an ob- vious scratch mark down the cen- ter of their noses is something that must be explained. And to have to explain that this scratch mark came from a poor weak little female! I hope you now un- derstand the importance of a good manicure. Well, it is now three o'clock in the morning. Your mother has complained twice about the noise of the typewriter. In some ways she is quite sensible, but I guess she has been a human too long for me to change her into a proper-acting cat. Love and kisses. Tabby The day you know you must provide i6T Nomr-vD CiECUMVSNT i Hockey Squad (Continued from Page 4) Hard hitting halfbacks, Janet Fritsch, Ann Spriggle, and Pris- cilla Lambert, all new members of the varsity eleven, add addi- tional stamina to the strong de- fensive fielding. Veteran full- backs Barb Stockalis and Penny Mercer and experienced goalie Mary James complete the start- ing lineup. Additional defensive players, Ruth Gebhard, Doris Blackwell, Vickie Lawler, Jane Gelnett, Judy Polhemus, and Diana Hough will see action throughout the season. The team will initiate its season on Friday. October 13th, when they clash with an experienced Lock Haven eleven on the latter's field. Last season the Lock Hav- en coeds downed the Crusader lassies in their two successive matches, 4-0 and 2-0. The combination of experience, better developed skills and tech- niques, and a stronger offense will play an important role in this match. These marked im- provements may bring laurels of triumph to the S.U. Squad.

Congratulations also to Nancy Zook. Pat Goetz, and Bette Davis who are on the cheer- leading squad again. Pat and Bette are co-captains this year. We really enjoyed having our parents with us this week-end. The mothers of the sisters re- ceived mum corsages, and some of the mothers visited the sorority room for the first time. Belated best wishes this week to Carol Bollinger who became pinned to Joe Joyce of Phi Mu Delta. ALPHA XI DELTA Parents' Day was most pleas- ant for the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta as they entertained their parents. After receiving their A Xi D mums, the Mothers pro- ceeded to the sorority room where the regular meeting of the Mothers' Club was held prior to the football game. Follow- ing the game a tea was held for the parents in the sorority room at which time entertain- ment was provided by the sisters, including a humorous skit by Sister Janet Fritsch. In order to provide the sisters with things needed for the kitchenette in the new dorm, a kitchen shower was also given by the Mothers on Sat- urday. Throughout the day, both the parents and sisters had a grand time. Under the leadership of song leader, Linda Wassam. the sis- ters and pledges are preparing for their annual Fall Serenade which is to be given on Thurs- day night, October 12. The Alpha Xi's are proud to announce the success of their Dink Dance which was held in the lounge Saturday night, Sept. 30. All had an enjoyable time, and we are sure the freshmen were even happier since they were not asked to wear their S.U. dinks. The A Xi D pledges. Lori Ann Border, Lynda Boyer, Sara Han- num, and Sue Houscworth are busily taking pledge tests and working on their pledge project in preparation for their initiation into the sisterhood of Alpha Xi Delta which will be held soon. The sisters would also like to thank the pledges for making the A Xi D shakers for this year's games and pep rallies. KAPPA DELTA The Fall Season now in full swing, the Sisters are busy work- ing on the Homecoming Float, under the chairmanship of Sisters Mary Ann Traher and Shirley Foehl. The green and whites are also preparing for their serenade under the direction of songleader Karen Frable. Co-social chairmen. Sisters Jane Beers and Margie Blair, are formulating final plans for KD's annual Fall Fashion Show. Sis- ters Margie Brandt, Vicki Sue I.awler, and Mary James are currently using their athletic tal- ents on S.U.'s Varsity Hockey team. Congratulations and a white rose are in order for Vice Presi- dent and Pledge Master Susie Myers who was recently elected the senior class Women's Ju- diciary Board representative. Pledges Bobbie Claffee, Ruthie Almond, Patsy Hoehling, and Carol Davis are busy this week visiting each of the sisters to ob- tain letters, which they must then unscramble, making a saying ap- propriate to every Kappa Delta. PHI EPSILON It was the pleasure of the Phi Epsilon brothers to entertain their parents and families at the fraternity house last Saturday afternoon. Chet Marzolf served as host at the "koffee klatch" held after the Swarthmore game. The Phi Eps are looking for- ward to a visit in the near future from Mr. Landis Coffman, one of the national officers of TAU KAPPA EPSILON Fraternity. President Jeff Whitney an- nounced that Stan Stahl has been appointed as the new Correspond- ing Secretary. Hard at work on the Phi Ep- silon Homecoming float are Brian Bolig and Cy Merwin, the co- chairmen for the Homecoming committee. THETA CHI Parents' Day 1961 has come and gone at Theta Chi. Highlighting the day was the Second Annual Parents' Club meeting held in Gilbert Lounge. After a series of fraternity songs by the brother- hood. President Les Butler and the officers of Beta Omega Chap- ter discussed fraternity life and the role parents can play. A buf- fet dinner in the chapter-dining room put the finishing touches to an enjoyable and worthwhile aft- ernoon. Tuesday evening the brother- hood presented the traditional Fall Serenade at the women's dormitories. A new arrangement of the old standard "Vive la Theta Chi" was warmly received by the campus women-folk. Much credit is due songleader Bob Summer for his fine job of directing and congealing the various voices in another beneficial project. The "Theta Potato Band" further heightened campus enthusiasm for the Swarthmore game with the torch-lite parade Friday eve- ning. The brotherhood was glad to hear that Dr. Russell Gilbert has returned to classes after a two week illness. Another faculty ad- visor, Mr. Howard Demott, was welcomed back by the fraternity, upon completion of his year's sabbatical leave. Patronize Crusader Advertisers Intramural Football Adopts Rule Changes Intramural football got under- way at Susquehanna with four games played. With new rule changes being made this year the fans will now see a type of game called "rag ball". This is quite a change over last year's touch football. Rather than try to explain the rules here, it would be much eas- ier to take in a game and see just how interesting and exciting it is. Two rule changes which should be noted are listed below. No player who has ever been a member of a varsity sport may compete in that sport in the in- tramural program. A person will be allowed to compete if he is cut from the varsity squad with- in a period of two weeks. How- ever, this only applies to people who are out for the varsity for the first time. (Rule goes into effect Sept. 1, 1962) A player who has ever quit a varsity squad will not be allowed to participate in any phases of the intramural program. (To be voted upon for appproval by the Administrative Cabinet. If ap- proved would go into effect Sept. 1, 1962) Last week's action saw Lambda Chi Alpha drop Phi Mu Delta 14-0. However, the game is not final as the Delters have filed a protest which still requires ac- tion. G.A. Hall downed South Dorm 38-19 and North Dorm took the measure of Phi Epsilon. Theta Chi racked up the high- est score in recent years with a smashing 89-6 win over the Alpha House. Next week's games in- clude Lambda Chi and G.A. on the 12th; all teams will see action the following week. Games start at 4:15. and the champion- ship will be played Nov. 20. Out Of A Test Tube (Continued from Page 5) from the presses of the world. Darwin wrote many other books of considerable note which also had great influence upon the sci- entific world. Darwin lived a full life distin- guishing himself as a great zoolo- gist, botanist, geologist, philoso- pher and writer. His autobiog- raphy was published in England in 1878. It was concluded with this statement, ". . . my success as a man of science, whatever this may have amounted' to, has been determined ... by complex and diversified mental qualities . . . the love of science — un- bound patience in long reflecting over any subject — industry in observing and collecting fact — and a fair share of invention as well as common sense. With such moderate abilities as I pos- sess, it is truly surprising that I should have influenced to a con- siderable extent the belief of sci- entific mtn on some important points." Charles Darwin died on April 19, 1882. at the age of seventy- one and was buried in Westmin- ster Abby near the grave of Isaac Newton. It is a place truly worthy of such a great man.

The only problem that Gideon has is getting his assignments completed. He feels as if "time is leaving me behind" because there are not enough hours in one day for him to finish his stu- dies. This has prevented him from getting out and meeting the students on campus. He hopes that as the year goes along he will become adapted to his change of study procedures and that he will be able to have more time to become better acquainted with his fellow students.

YOU... and the wonderful world of books 0*3 As a college student, you are aware of expanding horizons as you move with increasing familiarity in the worltl of books. In doing so, you will find agreement with the sages, one of whom said: "Words-blessed letters Small drops of ink Falling like dew upon thought Forces men to think." Francis Bacon proclaimed that "reading maketh a full man," and Joseph Addison insisted that "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Your world, too, can take on added dimension as you make good books an integral part of your college experience.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1961 Student Committee Sets Library Rules In order to offer the best pos- sible library service to S.U. stu- dents the student library com- mittee has suggested the follow- ing code of etiquette. Each of the rules has been designed to speed up service and make it more ef- ficient. (1) Present your ID card when using the library desk service be- fore it is asked for. The college has expanded its size to the point where it is no longer possible to recognize each library user. The use of the ID card is a protection for the student who uses the li- brary properly. (2) Make sure every bit of library material you take from the library is properly charged. Some one else may want those materials and if we cannot locate them readily, serv- ice is impaired. (3) Don't "trade" books charg- ed to you. The person who signs the card is responsible for the books. If someone else wants a circulating or reserve book charged to you, bring it to the desk and arrange the transfer properly. (4) Do not replace books on the shelves anywhere in the library. Leave them on the nearest table so that the student assistants who are trained to shelve properly can return the book. A misshelved book is a lost book. (5) Do not remove material from the room in which it is shelved. Use the newspapers in the main reference room and use the reference materials in the room in which they are shelved. <6) Learn to know the members of the Student Library Committee. It is through them that the librar- ian may obtain suggestions about improving library service. Miss Athalia Kline In Auto Accident The hearts of many Susquehan- na University students and fac- ulty members were deeply sad- dened on Saturday morning with the news of the automobile mis- hap involving Miss Athalia Kline, associate professor of Romance Languages here at Susquehanna University. The accident occur- red approximately 12 miles south- east of Clearfield, as Miss Kline was en route to her home to visit her mother who has been ill. An instructor at S.U. since 1944, Miss Kline became an assistant professor in 1949, and just last year was appointed to the posi- tion of associate professor of Ro- mance Languages. To all who know her, Miss Kline has been a friend and an inspir- ation. Those who have studied under her and those who work with her greatly appreciate her untiring efforts to the student bxly and faculty. An active alumnae of Gamma Omicron chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. Miss Kline has been serving at 1 membership chairman of the c\ apter, and she was recently awarded a citation from the na- tional organization in honor of her efforts as an outstanding alumnae. Miss Kline is currently a pa- tient at the Philipsburg hospital. The 1961 Homecoming Court is one of the loveliest in S.U.'s history. Seated (l-r) Judy Behrens, Bob- bi Claffee, and Carol Hirschman. Standing (l-r) are Sally Lockett and Lynn Richman. Coronation, Bonfire, Floats, Football Will Highlight SU Annual Homecoming Friday evening at 6:45 p.m. marks the beginning of a fine array of activities for Susquehanna's 1961 Homecoming Weekend. The general theme, "The Far Look," will be elaborated upon at the Homecoming Pageant and Coronation to be held in Seibert Hall. It will be at this time that five lovely co-eds represent- ing each class, with two from the senior class, will proceed to the throne where last year's Homecoming Queen, Miss Ann Hewes, will be seated. Walter Fox, President of Stu- dent Council and Master of Cere- monies at the coronation, will then start the evening's festivi- ties. Soon the suspense of know- ing the 1961 Queen will be brought to a thrilling climax as the Mas- ter of Ceremonies makes the an- nouncement and Queen Ann places the crown on the head of the lucky girl. Amid the excitement, the Queen will be presented with the foot- ball to be used in Saturday's game which she will guard until kick-off time. This presentation will be made by Butch DiFran- cesco, captain of the 1961 Cru- sader squad. The Women's Ath- letic Association will then take the audience into "The Far Look", emphasizing its interpre- tation of what the future may hold. Concluding the program will be a torchlight parade down- town led by the Queen and her court in open-air cars. There will be a huge bonfire after the pa- rade. However, the evening will be just beginning, for the WAA has secured a combo and planned a campus social to be held in the lounge of the Women's New Dor- mitory. Refreshments will also be served. Saturday morning begins bright and early for the members of those organizations who will be putting last-minute finishing touches on their float entries, as well as the arrival of countless numbers of alumni to their Alma Mater. About 10:30 a.m. all the hard work and planning of many weeks will be evidenced when the many colorful float entries emerge from their secret hiding places around Selinsgrove and prepare to pa- rade downtown where they will be the focal point of attention of the townspeople and SU alumni. Following the judging, two cups will be presented — one to the outstanding fraternity float, and the second to the most outstand- ing of the other entries. Here again, the general theme, "The Far Look." is developed along appropriate lines. An interlude will follow at which time various functions will take place. One of these will be the dedication of the lounges in both of the new dormitories. Pre-game activities will com- mence at 1:00 p.m. At this time the floats will proceed to parade around the track of University Field where an announcer will describe each entry to the en- thusiastic fans. Kick-off time will be at 2:00 p.m. when the Susquehanna Crusaders will be challenged by the Western Mary- land Terrors in what should prove to be an exciting game for all. Adding to the festivities will be an outstanding performance by the SU Marching Band led by Mr. James B.Steffy. and featur- ing the excellent twirling of Miss Carolyn Tweed. Also at this time will be the presentation of the trophies to the winning floats. After the game the Student Council will be on hand with a Victory Coffee Hour In Heilman Hall. This is not only an oppor- tunity to warm up after the game, but also an opportunity to greet S.U.'s many returning alumni, parents, and friends. The entire weekend will be brought to a breathtaking climax at "Celestial Paradise", this year's Hoemcoming Ball in the Alumni Gymnasium. At 1:00 a.m. the women will be graciously escorted back to their dormitories after a tiring but memorable Homecoming Weekend — 1961! SU Students Select Homecoming Court This year's Homecoming fes- tivities will be graced by the presence of five lovely girls se- lected by their classmates as members of the 1961 Homecom- ing Court. Miss Sally Lockett and Miss Judy Behrens, candidates for Queen featured in last week's CRUSADER, will represent the senior class. Miss Carol Hirschman, a spark- ling, blue-eyed blonde, was cho- sen as the representative of the junior class. Carol, whose home- town is Lutherville, Maryland, is an English major with a minor in French. She is secretary of Kap- pa Delta and a member of the yearbook staff. Planning to teach English, Carol is interested in F.T.A. An avid sports fan, she especially enjoys swimming and basketball which she participat- ed in last year as a member of the women's varsity basketball team. Vivacious Barbara Claffee, bet- ter known as Bobbie, has been selected as sophomore court member. A resident of Pennshau- kan. New Jersey, she is majoring in English and minoring in soci- ology. Bobbi's varied interests include volleyball, which she play- ed in intramurals, writing letters, dancing, and horseback riding. Freshman Lynn Richmond, a pert business education student, hails from New Monmouth, New Jersey. Lynn was graduated from Middletown Township High School where she was active in extra- curricular activities. She served as treasurer of her senior class and as a Student Council mem- ber. Lynn was also a member of the newspaper and yearbook staffs. BUSINESS SOCIETY With a record attendance of sixty members, the Business So- ciety opened the 1961 school year with its first meeting on Sep- tember 25. President of the so- ciety this year is Carl Moyer. The speaker for the first meet- ing was Mr. William Beti, affili- ated with Janney Battles and E. W. Clark, Inc., who gave an in- teresting and informative talk about stocks and bonds. Recently the members took a field trip and toured the Pennsyl- vania Power and Light Plant to learn the wonders of electricity.

President Dottie Shomper presided. The organization voted to af- filiate with the Pennsylvania State Education Association and the National Education Associa- tion. The chapter has been in- active nationally since 1958. Lennie Purcell was elected Vice-President to fill the vacancy left by the transfer of John Schlotzhauer to Franklin and Marshall College. (Continued on Page 2) Frosh Capades Well Received By Campus In keeping with the tradition of "Stunt Night", the Freshman class presented its version en- titled "Frosh Capade". The tone of the evening was that of humor, which was well exemplified by the combined talents of Ray Ma sullo and Dave Koch, the mas- ters of ceremonies. The evening began with a boy's kickline, which, although it was not too coordinated, was errtain ly enjoyed by the audience Both the "Real Gone Gals' ot II N singer and the "Six Slick Seibert Girls" sang of their impressions of college and campus life. The comedy skit em it ltd "Sob, Sob" was a typical soap opera The musical talents of the Fr««sh man girls were exemplified in songs such as "Honey Bun". "1 Can't Say No", and Hey, I^ok Me Over." The German t....iri displayed their abilities in sev- eral selections. As the finale of the show, Maine Brandt, head of the Spohomoti Tribunal, was serenaded by the Freshman class. The evening, on the whole, was well rounded and very en- joyable due to the combined ef- forts of Cindy Caswell and John Griebe who worked many long, hard hours directing the show.

A Step Forward As fall descends upon the campus in full regalia one cannot help but be awed at the radiance of the new season. The change of seasons is a never ending panorama of beauty. Change always provides va- riety and, in many cases, is a valuable asset. There are, of course, changes for the worst, but one can never determine the exact worth of a change until it actually occurs. This year one of the more significant changes at Susquehanna has been the institution of a new electoral system to determine who shall reign as Homecoming Queen. Although only time will prove its value and performance, we would like to express our strong support of this system. Perhaps it may seem a bit premature to be praising a system that has not yet produced a queen. We feel, however, that the point is not who will win and wear the crown this Friday but how that winner and future ones are determined. In years past the various classes have made their nominations and then the student body voted for the class representatives for "their" queen. By some "coincidence" the senior always managed to come away victorious. Numerically this result is impossible. If each class voted in mass for its candidate the freshman representative would win annually. At last some people on this campus have seen the light. Realizing the value of a senior reigning, these people have chang- ed the system to create real surprise. With our new system we now have a glamorous court, two fine candidates for queen, and a real election. At this writing the votes have been counted and only a few select people know the results. In a little more than 48 hours we, too, will know. Whether it is Judy or Sally who wins, we feel that the school will have chosen well, for both these girls display the grace and elegance of a queen. The point we must make is the fact that this year the decision will finally be a surprise to all and a deserved, not political, title for the queen. L. B. A Fine Tribute It has been brought to our attention that some students of Sus- quehanna are making a contribution to the United HearJ fund as a tribute to the late Dr. Arthur Herman Wilson. A donation was made by all Susquehanna English majors who had studied under Dr. Wilson and this sum was turned over to the Heart Fund in his name. It is also our understanding that a similar donation has been made by the faculty here at S.U. We feel this is a very fine gesture on the part of both of these groups and that it is a fitting tribute to a very wonderful person. Our only regret is that students who studied under Dr. Wilson but were not English majors were not asked if they would care to contribute. L. B.

Alpha Phi Omega, 7:30 p.m. After this rather lengthy intro- duction, we can finally get to the heart of our concern. There is usually little doubt in the minds of men that there is nothing wrong with individual worship, but consternation always seems to rise when corporate worship is discussed. Corporate worship may best be defined as "The ex- pression of a belief in the exist- ence of God, and conviction that men may unitedly commune with him." As Wilhelm Loehe has ex- pressed it: We are born for fel- lowship . . . The Lord did not make the earth for one man . . . nor heaven for one man . . . The divine fellowship is the Church of God, the communion of saints ... In my pilgrimage through the dark vale I am not alone . . . The Church is an eternal fellow- ship." Have you ever stopped to think just what that last group of words means? The Church is an organ- ism that transcends time and space. She is the Body of Christ (Colossians -:24 and all her mem- bers are one (Galatians 3:28). It is a mystical bond because it is a bond of love, not of organiza- tion, although this is all we may see of Her visible form. The Church is apostolic, i.e.. She can trace Her lineage right back to Pentecost: The Church is cath- olic, i.e., the sun never sets upon her members and national bound- aries cannot separate them. And by this mystical bond, you and I who are living here in Selins- grove, Pennsylvania, in 1961, are one with St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Athanasius, St. Francis and every other saint throughout time and space! If you think that the Church is corpse from the past that someone forgot to bury, if you think that the Church is just another social club, if you think the Church is just a building, if you think the Church is just an organization of "goody-goodies," then all that has been said must have been a tremendous revela- tion to you. The Church is not dead nor will She ever die, and if She stumbles and falls, it is because the cross which She bears is built of Christians who do not know Her real nature and do not care enough to find out or have the intestinal fortitude '"guts") to stop pretending to be Chris- tians and leave the Church! But now that you are aware of Her true nature, how does the Church make this oneness with the saints of all ages become a reality 9 There is only one an- swer to that question; She must hold the same faith with them and raise Her voice in the same accord. And She does this through Her liturgies, for the li- turgies, be they Lutheran or Latin rite or Byzantine or Epis- copalian, are nothing other than the orderly gathering together of those hymns, psalms, and pray- ers which the Church has been using for almost two thousand years. 'Next week we shall examine the purpose of the Liturgy. Future Teachers (Continued from Page 1) A panel discussion concerning graduation requirements and state certification was the topic of the program for the evening.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS A NEW TBVCH0? - W&& CO \N£ FAOJLTY 6<f Off- ,id plying cue. 6CMPi)tfo off\ctmxzli7 Wednesday, October 18, 1961-THE CRUSADER-Page 3 SPORT TAL by JOE JOYCE The subject this week is going to be football, namely intramural football. There have been a great number of changes made in the intramural football program at Susquehanna this year. The game in the past was known as touch football; now it's quite hard to figure out just what it should be termed. The game was formerly played in a manner that if a ball-carrier was touched by his opponent, the play was stopped. Now it is played with each player having a type of handkerchief or rag hanging from the back of his pants. The object now is to pull this rag out of the pants of the ballcarrier before the play is declared dead. However, this rag can be gotten in any manner; thus the game has developed into tackle football. It seems that the easiest way to seize this rag is to tackle the ballcarrier rather than reach for the rag. Now, our criticism of this type of game is: Just what purpose does it serve? We always thought that the purpose of intramural football was to provide a form of recreation and enjoyment for those boys who feel that they aren't capable of playing inter-collegiate football or don't want to devote their time to it. Yet, the feeling here is that the program is not accomplishing these purposes. True, intramural football is providing recreation, but is it the type of recreation that the boys playing it want? If the rules were to be changed, the boys who are playing the sport should have been consulted. We are sure that if a poll had been taken the rules would have remained as they were in regard to how a ballcarrier is stopped. The general consensus seems to be that the game, as it was played last year, provides just as much recreation as this year's program does, while not risking as much injury. As far as the enjoyment of the game goes, it's for sure that there's no better feeling than when you put your shoulder into a ballcarrier and really rack him. However, this does not compensate for the feel- ing you have the following morning when you find yourself with a busted knee or a stitched face. No high school, college, or pro football coach would risk injury to any of his boys by sending them out to bang heads with one an- other without wearing any pads. So why should intramural football players be forced to play under these conditions? This writer doesn't want anyone to think that this is a personal feeling because it seems to be the attitude of most of the boys who participate.. It also is not written from the viewpoint of a guy who is afraid of participating in the sport. This writer is a participant, and if he had a fear of being hurt, he wouldn't be playing. It's too late in the season to have a rule change, but one should be made before next year. If the people who make the rules feel that there is no need to change them, then the sport should be dropped. This would be much better than to have someone seriously injured as is going to happen if the game is allowed to continue as tackle football. Then it will be too late.

U. hockey squad. Traveling to Lock Haven State College to initiate the 1961 season the Susquehanna neophytes were battered by a fast, experienced maroon and gray team, 10-0. Both squads were plagued by injury previous to the game. Due to swollen ankles, S.U. cen- ter forward, Marge Brandt was unable to play and was replaced by Ann Latimer. The Lock Ha- ven eleven were forced to make a defensive substitution when their goalie suffered a leg injury earlier in the day. The first half, which provided five points for the maroon and gray, showed constant driving and hammering at the Crusaders' defense. Pass pick-ups and flicks accounted for most of the scoring during this period. A penalty bully between goalie Mary James and opposing left inner Ginny Blake netted another marker for Lock Haven. The second half centered upon continual play in the Susquehan- na defense zone. Captain Toby Brodisch's attempt for a goal during this period was of no avail. She dribbled it into the striking circle where it was hit out of bounds and resulted in a twenty- five yard line bully. During these twenty-five minutes of play the Lock Haven eleven chalked up five additional points, making the final tally 10-0. Lambda Chi Alpha, Theta Chi Tied For 1st In Intramurals After the second week of intra- mural football play, only two teams. Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Chi. still remain undefeat- ed. Theta Chi, behind the passing and running of Dave Smith, easily defeated Phi Epsilon 41-6. Phi Mu Delta hammered the North Dorm 41-7, with every member of the offensive team scoring at least one touchdown. The South Dorm handed the Alpha House and Day Students their second loss of the season 40-21. Lambda Chi Alpha, after being held down in the first half, got their attack rolling in the second half to dump GA Hall on Wednesday. Lambda Chi Alpha got their second win of the week in a make-up contest with Phi Mu Delta. Scoring three TD's in the first half, the Green and Gold went on to win 26-6.

Lock Haven, Hofstra Dump SU Booters Lock Haven State and Hofstra College took the measure of Sus- quehanna's soccer team last week as they rolled to respective 4-2 and 5-2 victories. These losses stretched the hapless Crusaders' record to 0-5 and leaves them only four games in which to im- prove on last year's record of 3-5. Susquehanna's outstanding cen- ter forward, Pete Beiger, account- ed for all four goals scored by the Crusaders during the week. He leads the team in scoring at this point in the season. Saturday's game with Hofstra was played in the midst of a rainstorm on a very sloppy field. The condition of the field helped break up many scoring drives for both teams. Hofstra center forward Bob Kroehler scored the first of his two goals at the 6-minute mark of the first quarter. He took a pass from left wing Bill Weihn and managed to slip one by Crusader goalie Frank Yaggi who played an outstanding game in the cage. Susquehanna came back to tie it up four minutes later as Beiger took the ball from the middle of the field around right wing and scored with a boot in the left corner of the goal. This was as close as the Cru- saders manager to get to Hofstra during the afternoon as the New Yorkers added three goals in the second period. Lineman Jim Du- gan got credit for two of these and Kroulder scored the other. Dugan and Kroulder have led Hofstra in scoring this season and are the two main reasons for the team's 3-1-1 record. Dugan picked up another goal in the third period and Beiger came back with one for Susque- hanna in the last quarter. Lock Haven State's victory Wednesday boosted the teachers' winning record to 4-0 for the cur- rent campaign. They were held to only one goal in the first pe- riod, but added two more in the second to jump out to a 3-0 half- time lead. Beiger picked up two goals for the Crusaders in the second half. Both came on penalty kicks and were the second and third goals that have been scored against Lock Haven this season. Ed Beaver added another goal for the teachers in the fourth pe- riod to ice the 4-2 victory.

As a money making project ADPi's are selling personalized name labels. For more informa- tion, ask any sister. The past few days have been busy ones for the sisters and pledges of ADPi. They have taken many steps toward the completion of the Homecoming float. The sorority has been working hard under the leader- ship of Bonnie Schaffer and is learning several new songs for the fall serenade. The serenade will be held tonight, October 18th. Preparations are being made for the co-ed party slated for Novem- ber 4. This annual affair is an- ticipated by the sisters as a high- light of their social calendar. Sister Susie Myers, co-chairman of entertainment for Coronation; Sister Grace Johnson, chairman of the program committee for coronation; Sister Candy Fink, elected social chairman of the New Women's Dorm; Sister Dot- tie Anderson, recently elected a member of the New Dorm House Council, for her organiza- tion of the Big and Little Sister Banquet; Sister Pam Yeager, for her work with the Cheerleading squad; and especially to Sister Margie Brandt for her "not al- ways pleasant" job as head of the Sophomore Tribunal. KAPPA DELTA Preparation for Homecoming Weekend makes this a busy week for everyone. Not only are all the Sisters and Pledges hard at work on the float, but three KD girls have a special reason for looking forward to the weekend. Sister Judy Behrens, nominee for Homecoming Queen. Sister Carol Hirschmann. junior class repre- sentative, and Pledge Bobbie Claffee, sophomore class repre- sentative, have wonderful reason for feeling the excitement of Homecoming. Congratulations and white roses to these three girls. White roses are also due to: PHI MU DELTA Congratulations to pledges Nor- man Lauer and Robert Linde- muth, brother George Harris, and Mr. John Magnus on the occasion of their closer affiliation with Phi Mu Delta. Lauer and Linde- muth were accepted as pledges on last Tuesday evening; Harris discarded the mantel of pledge- ship Wednesday night; Mr. Mag- nus, the brotherhood is especially proud to announce, was accepted as an honorary brother on Wed- nesday. More congratulations, this time to all class homecoming repre- sentatives, and especially Judy Behrens and Sally Lockett, one of whom will be elected home- coming queen. Phi Mu Delta's homecoming float is now being constructed under the supervision of brother Bob Tushinski. ALPHA XI DELTA Homecoming being only a few days away, the sisters and pledges of Alpha Xi Delta are busily at work on their Home- coming Float. This year's Home- coming Float is under the co- chairmanship of Sisters Janet Fritsch and Eleanor Klingerman. Thursday evening, October 12, the yellow blazers of A Xi D were brightly seen on campus as the Sisters presented their annual Fall Serenade. Much credit is due to song leader, Linda Was- sam, for her fine job of directing the Sisters in another successful serenade. Sisters Janet Frisch, Penny Mercer, and Barbara Stockalis are presently showing their ath- letic ability on S.U.'s Varsity Hockey Team.

Americans are queer people: they can't rest. They have more time, more leisure, shorter hours, more holidays and more vaca- tions than any other people in the world. But they rush up and down across their continents as tourists; they move about in great herds to conventions; they invade the wilderness; they flood the mountains. The scenery rushes past them. They learn it, but they don't see it. Battles and monuments are announced to them in a rubberneck bus. They hear them, but they don't get them. They never stop moving. Americans are queer people: they can't read. They print more books in one year than the French print in ten. But they can't read. They buy thousands of new nov- els. But they read only page one. The last American who sat down to read died in the days of Henry Clay. Americans are queer people: they can't play. They want their work as soon as they wake. It is a stimulant— the only one they're not afraid of. They can't play. They try to, but they can't. They turn football into a fight, baseball into a lawsuit, and yachting into machinery. The little children can't play; they use mechanical toys instead— toy cranes hoisting toy loads, toy machinery spread- ing a toy industrial depression of infantile dullness. The grown-up people can't play: they use a mechanical gymnasium and a clockwork horse. They can't laugh: they hire a comedian and watch him laugh. Americans are queer people: they don't give a damn. All the world writes squibs like this about them, and they don't give a damn. They are told they have no art. no literature and no soul. They don't care. Moralists cry over them, criminologists dissect them, writers shoot epigrams at them, prophets foretell the end of them: and they shrug it off. Seventeen brilliant books analyze them every month; they don't read them. The Chinese look on them as full of Oriental cunning: the English ac- cuse them of British stupidity: the Scotch call them close-fisted; the Italians say they are liars: the French think their morals loose; the Soviets call them ruth- less. But that's all right. The Amer- ican don't give a damn, don't need to— never did need to. That is their salvation. Don Green and John Rowlands spark the center of the Crusader offensive attacks with their fine play. SU Drops Wagner In Rain, Mud By 28-24 For Fourth Straight by Joe Joyce Susquehanna's Crusaders con- tinued their winning ways last Saturday when they journeyed to Staten Island, N.Y., and eked out a 28-24 victory over Wagner Col- lege. The Garrettmen have now run their winning streak to eight games, including four victories last season, and are presently 4-0 in MAC competition. The game which was played in a constant downpour saw the Orange and Maroon, aided by Mike Rupprecht's two touch- downs, score 22 points in the sec- ond quarter, and then march 52 yards in the final period to mar a Homecoming Day for Wagner fans. The Crusaders kicked off to open the ball game with the ball being returned to the Wagner 45. After quarterback Cavilli threw for two first downs, the Crusad- ers held. On the first play from scrim- mage for S.U. a fumble in the backfield gave the Seahawks first down on the Susquehanna 13 yd. line. With the New Yorkers knocking on touchdown door, the Crusader forward wall, led by captain "Butch" DeFrancesco, held again. On first down Kissinger punted to the Wagner 34 from where Ca- villi hit right end Wilson with a TD pass to put Wagner out in front. A pass to Melos was good for a two-pointer to make it Wag- ner 8 — S.U. 0. Following a Wagner punt, the Crusaders struck, and in five plays moved to the Wagner 27. QB Don Green then found soph- omore end Mike Rupprecht alone under the goal posts. Green then went two yards for the extra points to tie the ball game 8-8. About three minutes later Kis- singer got off a booming 64 yd. punt to the Seahawk five yard stripe. On first down Rupprecht snatched Cavilli's aerial, and stepped into paydirt from the five. Green hit Kissinger for the two-pointer, and S.U. was ahead 16-8. Following the kickoff, Ail- American DiFrancesco picked up a fumble on the Wagner 26. In nine plays with Kerstetter and Luscko hitting the line the S.U. eleven moved to the ond from where the big fullback went over, making it 22-8. Just to keep it close, halfback Dick Schlenker stunned the fans with an exciting % yd. kickoff return to make it 22-14. Cavilli connected with Melos for the two- pointer, and the scoreboard read 22-16 at intermission. Early in the third quarter, the Wagnerites, with Melos and John- son running, the Seahawks moved from their own ten to the Crusad- er 34 yard line. Then end Bruce Wilson made a great catch of a Cavilli aerial in the end zone. A short toss to halfback Melos was good for two more points, and S.U. trailed 24-22. Following the kickoff the Gar- rettmen marched 52 yards with Kerstetter and Luscko doing the ball-toting. With seven minutes of play remaining, Kerstetter, who racked up a total of 139 yards rushing for the day. bulled his way into the promised land from the two yd. line to clinch the vic- tory. Two minutes later, Kissinger intercepted a pass, and galloped 59 yards for a score, only to have it nullified by a holding penalty. When the clock ran out ending the game the Orange and Maroon were on the« Wagner 12, and in position for another score.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1961 1961 HOMECOMING DISPLAYS BEAUTY AND VICTORY Queen Judy Behrens begins her reign over the 1961 Homecoming festivities as she heads the pep parade last Friday evening. Alpha Delta Pi's 'Take Off For Victory" is the winner in the frosh-sorority competition for the Homecoming Float Trophy. The float is a revolving space ship over a beautiful map of the world. Disarmament Seminars Listed Thurs., Dr. Davidon To Speak Dr. William Davidon, professor at Haverford College and physi- cist formerly with Argonne National Laboratories will speak to S.U. students on two occasions Thursday. Dr. Davidon comes to campus as a representative of the American Friends Service Committee, Inc. His topic will be disarmament. Dr. Davidon will speak first at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday afternoon in Bogar theater. His topic at this time will be, "Wherein Lies Hope for Disarmament?" This talk will be followed by an in- formal tea at which time students will have the opportunity to dis- cuss the problem of disarmament with Dr. Davidon. The evening program will pre- sent a varied format and should prove interesting to all. Susque- hanna professors will speak on economic, political and religious effects of disarmament. A period of discussion would then follow as the panel attempts to answer the problem. This program will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Heilman Hall. The conference is sponsored jointly by the Susquehanna social science department and the Col- lege Program of the American Friends Service Committee. Also taking part in the program will be Charles Walker who spoke at S.U. last year on a similar prob- lem. In light of current world ten- sions and the problems of dis- continued on Page 3) Homecoming has come and gone at Susquehanna, but the memories linger on. What are these memories? Well, for any- one with the least amount of sentiment, they may include some of the following cherished mo- ments to remember. For the freshmen, there was hazing, a truly memorable occa- sion. Dressed in pajamas with shirts on backwards and the girls with their hair in pigtails and no makeup, they learned all about potato sack racing and tug of war. Best of all, they no longer have to wear their dinks. Friday evening and the Corona- tion festivities were just beautiful as the even more beautiful Judy Behrens was crowned as the 1961 Homecoming Queen. Everyone was just tingling with excitement after the huge bonfire and parade downtown. The remaining por- tion of a most pleasant evening was spent by most people at the WAA sponsored dance in the lounge of the Women's New Dor- mitory. Saturday morning dawned with- out a trace of rain and so the weatherman's predictions were validated, for a while at least, much to the delight of everyone on campus. With all of the de- tailed, last minute touches in place, the numerous floats emerg- ed from everywhere and any- where, in and about Selinsgrove. The parade of floats downtown began at Landes Gateway on campus at 10:30 a.m. accompa- nied by our own S.U. Marching Band and also those of Beaver Springs and Selinsgrove. Hearty helloes and warm wel- comes were the responses of the day as S.U. greeted many cheer- fully returning alumni to her auspiciously attractive campus. There was much to be seen and accomplished before more activi- ties were to commence. It was an enthusiastic crowd that watched the floats parade around the track at University Field, and an even more excited Freshman Class that formed the victory line for our undefeated football team. Half-time really created a general air of excite- ment. Since the score was 14-0 in S.U.'s favor, according to tradi- tion, the Freshmen doffed their dinks for the last time. A fine display of entertainment was also provided at this time by the Il- lustrious S.U. Marching Band. Unfortunately, a sky which had become slightly overcast, began to dampen the spirits of some spectators. However, they were brightened with the introduction of the 1951, undefeated, unscored upon, football team, along with Coach Alonzo Stagg, Jr. Also, the float trophies were presented to the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi, and the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha for their outstanding en- tries. The drops of rain soon began to fall, and so continued the rain the rest of the night. Nevertheless, Coach Garrett's Crusaders went on to take their fifth win of the season by defeating the Western (Continued on Page 5) The captain of the 1951 undefeated Crusader football squad ad- dresses students at Coronation.

Lambda Chi Alpha's winning float in the fraternity competition bears the theme, "Peace Thru Education." A large college graduate in the center of the float has a choice of atomic war or peace. Grading System Changed For Physical Education Program Dean Reuning has announced a new system of grading for the physical education programs at Susquehanna. Under the new system no quality points will be given for physical education. A student will receive a passing or failing grade only with the passing grade carry- ing one credit. — In a release on this subject the new system states: "The total credits required for graduation will remain at 132. As on the current academic year, physical education grades will be recorded as 'Pass' or 'Fail' and carry one (1) credit per semester up to four <4) over the four <4> year period. No credit will be granted for an *F' grade. No quality points will be computed for the above four (4) credits." In explaining this action Dean Reuning said that this measure did not constitute a de-emphasis on athletics but rather the realiz- ation that the school is not equip- ped to offer a minor in physical education. The new procedure is the same as that of most univer- sities not offering physical edu- cation minors. The new course will not be easier to pass, and students will have to continue to work to the best of their abilities to pass the course. There is to be no change in fees and an overload, formerly 18 hours plus, will now consist of 17 hours, physical education plus. Any questions on the new proce- dure should be directed to the Registrar's office.

A Renaissance at S.U. The first signs are at last evi- dent. Susquehanna University students are about to pass from the "Middle Ages" into a period of light and rebirth of learning, a veritable "Renaissance." At long last Seibert Hall has been filled for a campus event that was not required by faculty or ad- ministration. Can it be that Sus- quehanna students have finally realized the value of education outside the classroom? In previous years faculty and administration have feared to in- vite guest speakers and entertain- ers to campus because of the poor student turnout that could be expected. We certainly hope that these times are now ancient his- tory. At last the program com- mittees have been given some finances with which to attract good speakers and entertainment and, as a bonus, they have re- ceived a vote of confidence from the student body. If you are a student on this campus and did not see the Dyer- Bennet program, you have cheat- ed yourself of a rare opportunity. Unfortunately all is not yet "peaches and cream" for Dr. Rozenberg's talk on Tuesday was poorly attended. Fortunately this educational and informative talk was held in Bogar theater where the poor attendance was not as noticeable. We realize that every program cannot interest each student. However, what a dull world this would be if we all concentrated on only a single field and ignored the world around us. Let's wake up and take advantage of every precious moment of life and the knowledge we can gain here at Susquehanna. Surprisingly enough, the admin- istration is interested in the stu- dent body. They have been known, probably in weak mo- ments, to express concern for the intellectual life of the students. Why not give them a vote of con- fidence by showing that we are interested in these extra-educa- tional opportunities? Perhaps this way we will get still bigger and better names on campus. This "Renaissance" on the S.U. campus will probably take sev- eral years and an even larger student body to reach its fulfill- ment. At least a start has been made by the students and it is our hope that in the near future Seibert Chapel will be too small to hold the crowds of students who come to listen and learn. LB.

If a teen-age girl drops her The Liturgy is not an end in itself; it is only the vehicle which carries us to the very heart of the Christian faith— Jesus Christ, as we hear about Him through the Word as we apprehend His Real Presence in His Holy Sup- per. True liturgical worship is not meant to be a means for in- dividual expression. Let the in- dividual do that in his closet where it belongs, for it is the Bride of Christ on earth along with angels and archangels and all the company of Heaven offer- ing with one voice the praise and honor due to Her Holy Spouse. "Not man's needs and wishes, but God's presence and incite- ment, first evoke it [worship]. As it rises toward purity and leaves egotistical piety behind. He becomes more and more the only Fact of existence, the one Reality; . . . God alone matters, God alone Is — creation only mat- ters because of Him." There are no more fitting words with which to close this article than Paul Stordach's: "The worship-life of the Church throughout the centuries has giv- en to us our heritage of today. This is preserved for our inspira- tion, guidance, and use in The Liturgy and Offices with their manifold, enriching appointments. When one considers all of the formal body of practice which the Church possesses and com- mends for use, one realizes not only the wealth of provision but the riches of past experience and the treasure of present opportun- ity. But one recognizes, too, cer- tain possible dangers. Method may become uninteresting and lifeless; practice may become mere formality and rote. BUT these dangers appear only where the individual is barren of the fruits of personal communion and where the inspiration of the wor- shipping Church, that countless host of the ages, is not an added possession and joy to the individ- ual worshipper. Singing the same canticles, praying the same pray- ers, participating in the same acts the fathers did, and their fathers, and theirs — on back into the dim past — this is mighty testi- mony to the union, the oneness of the Ever-living Church abiding in her Ever-living Lord." This briefly is why Lutherans use a liturgical form of worship. This is the marvelous opportunity for communion that it offers to you. It is worship that is God- centered and God-directed; you only come for what you can give, not for what you are going to get. You are being offered a chance to worship — maybe for the first time in your life — through the coming Wednesdays and Thurs- days. Those can be filled with anticipation, excitement, wonder, majesty and communion with God and man OR they can be filled with emptiness, boredom and meaningless repetition; whichever it happens to be, please remem- ber that chapel will be a reflec- tion of your own life and not a reflection against the Church or Her Liturgy. book, usually some teen-age boy will kick it over to her."

Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, Jr., addresses the former athletes, fac- ulty, and friends of Susquehanna at a luncheon held in his honor last Saturday. Coach Stagg, along with his father, had coached the 1951 undefeated team. Coach Stagg Returns To Speak at Luncheon Given in His Honor The familiar voice of Coach A. A. Stagg, Jr. was heard again at Susquehanna University dur- ing a luncheon given in honor of both he and the undefeated-untied football team of 1951. At this Homecoming event the guiding thoughts of the Stagg family and Susquehanna University were in- trinsically linked together once again. In his remarks, directed at the team he coached with the help of his father, A. A. Stagg, Sr., the younger Stagg brought out many of the values which accrue from an education at Susquehanna. "Coach" pointed out how Sus- quehanna develops an apprecia- tion for the works of God. He brought out his belief that the experiences acquired on the grid- iron stand a person in good stead in their future lives. The transfer of the qualities of team play, per- sonal courage and confidence in oneself, are the long-run values of participation in sports. (Continued on Page 6) School Spirit Rates High at Susquehanna by Nancy Corson The football game begins! Cheered onward by the fans from their respective schools, the teams play an exciting game. School and team spirit together play a major role in making football the hearty, exhilerating game that it is. When fans are enthusiastic in the support of their team, the fellows on the squad can sense this immediate- ly. Assured by the spirited sup- port of the fans, the team has an added incentive to give forth its fullest and best effort. Our team needs your encouragement at the home games, and especial- ly at the away games where at- tendance is usually lower. Susquehanna students are to be commended for the support given our team thus far. One needs only to look at the record to see what the combination of a fine coach and team plus a spirited cheer- ing section can accomplish. Need we say more? See you at the next game!

Wednesday, October 25, 1961— THE CRUSADER— Page 3 ITE SOUND by RAY CRAGLE As all of us know only too well, college life is fraught with dangers. At any instant, we may find ourselves in an unexpected, awkward, and embarrassing situation. If we are really to master life, we must look upon these encounters as challenges, rather than tragedies. By (1) acting nonchalant, and (2) thinking quickly on these occasions, it is possible not only to make conditions tolerable, but also to elevate ourselves in the eyes of our comrades, and emerge victorious from what might well have resulted in a crushing defeat. Since people find themselves "on the spot" every day, in an ap- parently limitless variety of situations, we cannot possibly consider all the potential cases. The most we can do here is to present several examples of humiliating circumstances, along with logical and ex- pedient methods of meeting them. Notice that certain principles have been employed throughout. By practicing these techniques, you should be successful in redeeming yourself from almost any situation that arises. EXAMPLE I: Being an intelligent student, you have decided to prac- tice conservation of energy. Instead of studying for that exam, you have come to the professor's office to find the answers. On the stroke of midnight, you hear the watchman entering the office. It is too late to hide. What should you do? Solution: You should NOT leap out of the window, nor should you try I he worn-out sleepwalking routine. Sit down quickly at the desk and follow one of the following procedures: (ROUTINE A) Remain quiet, looking at the papers on the desk. Make a few marks. Pretend that you are on a work scholarship for the professor, and are greatly overworked. The watchman will esteem you as noble and industrious. (ROUTINE B) Pretend that you have been stationed in the office to discover who has been stealing the professor's stationery. Accuse the watchman, and ask WHY he was entering the office. Ask him why he hasn't caught the vidian himself. This routine often causes hard feelings, and should be used only if you cannot remain calm enough for routine A. EXAMPLE II: Across a crowded room, you see a friend. You shout, "Oh Harry! Do you want me to fix you up with a date for Saturday night . . ." As everyone begins to gasp, you realize that his girl friend is with him. Solution: Pretend you knew all along that she was there. Continue immediately: ". . . for your roommate, or does he already have one?" Now you are considered a friend, offering aid. EXAMPLE III: A student council member enters as you are vigorous- ly grinding out a cigarette butt on the floor of the lounge. The action is unmistakable, and you cannot explain it away as a "nervous twitch in the foot." Solution: Stamp on the butt even more vigorously. Act as if you really hate it. Then stamp on all the other numerous butts covering the lounge floor. Pretend that you are having a temper tantrum, and are angry about all the butts on the floor. As a finale, scoop up sev- eral butts, plunge them into an ash tray, and storm angrily from the room. The council member will be impressed that you feel so strongly about keeping a neat lounge. NOTE — This performance should be presented only for the benefit of council members who do not throw butts on the floor themselves. EXAMPLE IV: In the interests of variety, you have made a bomb of sugar and potassium nitrate in a coke bottle, and gleefully set it off in someone else's room. With a shower of sparks and shattering of the bottle, the room is filled with heavy clouds of smoke. But now, at the very height of the merriment, you realize that the proctor is com- ing down the hall. Solution: The natural reaction is to panic, blurt out a confession and hope for mercy. The fact that I am still in school is evidence that this method works, but it also has many disadvantages. The notoriety is humiliating, and one may enter the dining hall, and have total strangers greet him with, "Say! Aren't you the fellow who set off the bomb? Why did you do a thing like that?" A better course of action is this: Come out into the hall and close the door. As the proctor looks on, stuff padding into all openings. Hint that you are fumigating the room, and that the door must not be opened. Not only will he never see the broken bottle and charred rugs, but he will believe that you have been so interested In cleanliness as to invest in fumigating supplies. The witnesses? Well, what could you expect of them, after having been sealed up in a room full of fumes? Judy Behrens Reigns, Homecoming Queen Friday evening found Seibert Auditorium filled to capacity for the 1961 Homecoming Coronation. The excitement reached its high- point when Mrs. Ann Hewes Yan- uklis, the 1960 Queen, announced Miss Judy Behrens as the 1961 Homecoming Queen. After re- ceiving her crown, the Queen was presented with a bouquet of red roses by Teddy Mauer, who then sang "The Way You Look To- night." Benjamin DiFrancesco, cap- tain of the football team, present- ed Queen Judy with the football for Saturday's game. The Queen and her Court, Miss Sally Lockett, Miss Carol Hirsch- mann, Miss Barbara Claffee, and Miss Lynn Richmond were en- tertained by a varied program planned around the theme of "The Far Look." Judy, a blue-eyed blonde, from Tenafly, New Jersey, is an active S.U. senior. She is a past Vice President of Kappa Delta Soror- ity, and a member of the Student Council.

Dr.Thomas Armstrong Honored by Theta Chi "For his work as a friend, ad- visor and teacher to Beta Omega chapter of Theta Chi fraternity this chapter room is dedicated to Dr. Thomas Armstrong, Jr." These words, spoken by Theta Chi president, Les Butler, were the highlighting feature of the recent fraternity Homecoming banquet. Dr. Armstrong has been associ- ated with Susquehanna Univer- sity for a number of years as a business instructor. He has taught courses ranging from Insurance to Investments. A well-known figure on the campus, Dr. Arm- strong can usually be found at University events with his cam- era to record them on film. His selection of slides and interesting comments have served to form a number of entertaining pro- grams for campus enjoyment. Dr. Armstrong has been associ- ated with Theta Chi almost from his arrival on the campus. He has served faithfully as financial supervisor over recent years. In all that he has done for Theta Chi, Dr. Armstrong has always been a welcome addition to the fraternity. In recognition of this service the fraternity has dedi- cated the chapter room to Dr. Armstrong.

Page 4-THE CRUSADER-Wednesday, October 25, 1961 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE After the first five games of this 1961 football campaign the charges of Coach James Garrett have yet to taste defeat. .This week we'd like to give you a few reasons, statisticwise, why the Crusaders are 5-0 on the year. The Orange and Maroon have racked up a total of 1166 yards on the ground and in the airways while holding their opponents to 354 yards by passing and 389 yards by rushing. Susquehanna has, as of now, picked up 79 first downs, 11 of them coming on Quarterback Don Green's passes and 66 of them being picked up on the ground. Only two first downs have come by way of penalties. Fullback Larry Kerstetter has paved the way on the ground with 359 net yards. Halfbacks Luscko and Kissinger have gained 317 and 188 yards respectively while Don Green has romped for approximate- ly 286 yards. Kerstetter is out in front in point-getting with a total of 36. These have come on five touchdowns and three two-point conversions. Luscko, who has hit paydirt five times has 30 points, while halfback Terry Kissinger has accounted for 14 Crusader points. Green has run for three TD's, and passed for 238 yards and one touchdown. Junior P.A.T. specialist Tom Samuel has contributed nine points, making good one nine of twelve attempts at the extra point, and fresh- man Larry Erdman has accounted for one six-pointer. Sophomore whiz Don Green has attempted 40 passes, completing fifteen of them while having only two intercepted. Over in the receiving department Kerstetter has picked off seven of Green's tosses for 97 yards, and Ken Hauser has snagged four tosses good for 39 yards. Kissinger and Mike Rupprecht have caught two passes, and netted 51 yards. Rupprecht leads the flankermen in scoring with three touchdowns, two of them coming on interceptions. The Garrett-coached eleven has allowed only seven touchdowns this season, and most of the yardage that has been made against them has come by way of rule infractions. S.U. has been penalized 48 times for a total of 475 yards. * • • * # * Belated congratulations to Head Coach and Mrs. James Garrett on the birth of their third child, a girl, two weeks ago.

LCA, Theta Chi, Play Today For 1st Place Tonight Theta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha will go at it to deter- mine who will be sole possessor of the top rung in the intraneural league. After games played last week both teams are tied for first place with three wins and no losses. In last week's action Lambda Chi dumped the South Dorm 51-36 after trailing 31-12 at the half- time. The Alpha House and Day Students, led by "Big Daddy" Lindemuth, picked up their first win by defeating the North Dorm 35-6.

Crusaders and E-town Tie Hockey Match 1-1 On Wednesday, October 18, the Susquehanna hockey squad bat- tled an evenly matched Eliza- bethtown team to a 1-1 tie on the latter's field. This tally was the first tie in the two year his- tory of the maroon and orange team. Both goals were scored during the first half of play. The S.U. marker, which was made within the first few minutes, was the result of Captain Toby Brodisch's accurate pass pick-up. The sole Elizabethtown goal, a hard drive by the center forward, occurred late in the half. The Susquehanna eleven made another goal dur- ing these twenty five minutes, but due to a foul on the play it did not count. The second half showed strong defensive play on both ends of the field. Although the Orange and Maroon pushed hard for an- other marker in this period, the Elizabethtown squad held their own, making the final tally 1-1. Crusader Harriers Dropped by Juniata Susquehanna's cross country team went down to its third de- feat of the 1961 season last week when the Crusaders were dump- ed by Juniata College, 50-15. The Crusader harriers, who are in their first season of competi- tion, were never close as the boys from Huntingdon led all the way. Individual point getters for S.U. were Allen, Pearson, Upde- grove, Olert, and Fredericks. The cross-country record now stands at one win and three losses. On Friday of this week the harriers can be seen in action when Dickinson pays a visit to the local school. "Workhorse" Larry Kerstetter paves the way for halfback Kis- singer in the Crusaders' 341 victory over Western Maryland. FOOTBALL DELAWARE VALLEY OCTOBER 28 AWAY Crusaders Humiliate Western Maryland 34-8 on Homecoming by Joe Joyce Last Saturday under a murky sky and the watchful eyes of some 3,000 spectators, most of them alumni who had returned for Home- coming, the Crusaders of Coach James Garrett humiliated the Green Terrors of Western Maryland 34-8. The story was all Susquehanna from the opening kickoff when you know who — "Butch" Di- Francesco — made the tackle un- til the final four minutes of play when the Terrors finally managed to score. In between, the Crusad- ers piled up a net total of 386 yards and 23 first downs while holding the visitors to a measly 89 yards. The Orange and Maroon blew a scoring chance in the first min- ute of play when DiFrancesco pounced on a loose ball on the Marylanders' 17 yd. line. Ker- stetter moved to the one only to have the drive thwarted by a holding penalty. Late in the first period after a Western Maryland punt, the Garrettmen moved, in ten plays, to score the first TD of the game with Don Green going the final four yards. Two points were tack- ed on when Green hit Kerstetter with a pass. Following the kickoff, junior tackle Joe Perfilio jarred the ball loose from halfback Alex Ober's hands, and center John Rowlands recovered it on the Terror's 35. Six plays later, with the ball rest- ing on the 10 yd. line, John Luscko bowled over two would-be-tack- lers to score. Western Maryland picked up their first first down of the game after 8:15 had elapsed in the sec- ond quarter, when quarterback Roy Terry ran a bootleg to the S.U. 38 yd. line. Two plays later the Terrors' advance was halted when end Bob Wolf was nailed by John Luscko after snagging a pass, and Ken Hauser picked up Wolf's fumble on the Susquehan- na 18 yd. line. John Luscko took the second half kickoff on the 15 yd. marker and ran it back to his own 49. With Luscko and Kissinger doing the toting, the Garrettmen moved to the Western Maryland one yard line in eight plays, from where OB Don Green scored on a sneak. Fullback Kerstetter then made the two-point try good, and it was S.U— 22. Western Maryland— 0. Following a punt by the Green and White, the Crusaders took over on their 15 yd. line. On the second play from scrimmage, halfback Terry Kissinger bolted through the defense for 45 yds. before being brought down on the Western Maryland 35. Kerstetter and Green moved the pigskin to the one yd. marker from where Kissinger hit paydirt to make it 28-0. Late in the third period the Cru- saders got control of the ball on the S.U. 15 following a Western Maryland punt. In six plays the Orange and Maroon advanced to the visitors 43 yard stripe; then QB Green carried the ball to the 22. With Kerstetter and Luscko hitting the line the ball moved to the one, where Luscko scored his second TD of the day, and the scoreboard read S.U. 34-W.M. 0. Following the kickoff the visi- tors from Westminster moved 63 yards, with most of the yardage being made by Terry's aerials With four minutes left in the game Terry hit Dave Markey in the end zone to ruin the shutout. The pass attempt for the two pointer was good, and the game ended with the score Susquehan- na 34 — Western Maryland 8. EXTRA POINTS The radio an nouncer from Western Maryland who was sending the game back to Westminster may have sum- med up all that happened in the game when he said, "I noticed on thing different as to the way the game is played here as to how it is played in Maryland — they hit harder." — President Weber enjoys the games by using a pair of binoculars. As he says, "They put the action right in your lap." — That guy you saw wearing jersey no. 52 and helmet no. 67 on Saturday was P.A.T. special- ist Tom Samuel.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Ben puts more effort Into football than any man with whom I have been associated as a coach or as a player." These were Head Coach Jim Garrett's words when speaking about S.U.'s fiery 157 lb. guard and linebacker Benedict DiFrancesco. "Butch," from Atlas, Pa., start- ed playing football for Mount Carmel High School as a soph- omore, and surprisingly enough was a standout as a halfback. His ability for slicing a line and play- ing havoc with the opponent's backfield may stem from his pre- vious experience of hitting the line and eluding defensive backs.. He had originally planned to come to S.U. in 1953, but after working one and a half years, he entered the service. For two years, 1956-1957 he played foot- ball in Germany. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1957 and under the influence of Coach Robert Pitello, he was persuaded to matriculate at Susquehanna. Butch gained a first string berth his freshman year; for the last four years his determin- ed hard-nosed play, his facility for smelling out plays in advance, and his ability to respond to what- ever situation arises are only a few reasons for Susquehanna's solid defensive team. Butch is not only an outstanding athlete, he is also a scholar and a gentleman. He has maintained a 2.5 scholastic average and has gained the respect, not only of his coaches and team members, but of the entire student body and faculty. In 1960 he received Little Ail- American honorable mention un- der the Williamson system and is the Crusaders' captain for the current season. As a captain he is not a holler guy. He possesses the greatest leaders' attributes — Actions speak louder than words. As stated by Coach Garrett, "If this were war, Ben is the man who would be in the front lines as the leader." Having seen the Crusaders in action and watching S.U.'s Little All-American, I am sure the ca- pacity crowds will agree with the statement previously made by his coach: "For 157 pounds he is the best player that I know of in America."

Billman Mr. Galen Deibler, faculty member of the Division of Music, is an unusually fine pianist with a solid and well-disciplined tech- nical facility and an equally solid and sensitive musical intelli- gence. Last Thursday evening in Seibert Hall Mr. Deibler brought these attributes to bear upon a program of music for the piano, and the result— as a large and de- lighted audience can testify — was an evening of superior music making. The program, I suppose, could be called a conservative one, ranging as it did from Beethoven to Brahms and Chopin, from De- bussy — surely no longer a prob- lematic composer — to Bartok — surely not as problematic as he might be! This deliberate choice of standard literature gave to the uninitiated concert-goer a fine in- troduction to the riches of the pi- ano repertory, and to the more knowing a welcome opportunity to hear familiar works again. The Beethoven Sonata in E flat, Opus 31, #3, after some momen- tary instability in the first move- ment, was revealed in all of its marvellously inventive beauty; I found particular pleasure in the Scherzo, where the scampering rhythmic patterns were articu- lated with absolute control and where the piano really sang. Throughout the sonata, Mr. Deib- ler never found it necessary to prove Beethoven's greatness by pounding the instrument into sub- mission; grace and charm, power and rebellion, thoughtfulness and questioning were all revealed in completely musical terms. The "surface art" of Debussy can be, as a friend of mine puts it, "wonderful music to wool-gath- er to." Not, however, as Mr. Deibler plays it! Whether elegaic nnd restrained, as in Hommage a Rameau, or pictorial and evoca- tive as in Las sons tt Its parfums .... and Les collints d'Anacapri, these liquid, shimmering sounds, while lovely in themselves, still made musical sense. I found these pieces beautifully played and most rewarding. The early Suite, Opus 14 of Bela Bartok seems made to order, par- ticularly in the first two move- ments, for Mr. Deibler's talents. The driving rhythms, the folk-like melodic fragments, the energetic, percussive propulsion, and the colorfully shifting tonal values were excitingly realized, and the quietly dissonant chords which closed the last movement were a model of controlled piano sound. For some reason which I can- not analyze, I was not comfort- able in the Brahms pieces which followed. The Opus 117 Intermez- zo in b flat minor, and the Bal- lade in g minor from Opus 118 are by no means difficult works in the context of this program, and yet I felt a sense of reserve which kept them from really "go- ing". Perhaps as Carner says, "Brahms is the ideal composer for the middle-aged", and this state is one which Mr. Deibler fortunately has not yet achieved! With the Chopin group — three well chosen Etudes and the g minor Ballade — Mr. Deibler re- turned to his earlier peak. His is not the pseudo-Romantic concept of Chopin, all sighs and neurotic whinings, but a virile and excit- ing one where Chopin stands re- vealed as an original and classi- cally oriented composer, a master of the warmly tender melody, and an harmonic innovator of great inventiveness.

What We Defend The following editorial appeared in the August 26, 1940, issue of the New York Times. We feel it is o-ie of the finest definitions of the American way of life we have ever read. It is reprinted here in hopes that students, faculty and friends of Susquehanna may read and realize what we in America stand for. It is our hope that it will bring comfort and energy for each individual in these troubled times that he might, "strive on to finish the work we are in ... to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." L.B. "One result of the Nazi sweep across Europe has been to make men and women in America ask themselves just what is this democ- racy .... It is a healthy question. We want to satisfy our minds as to precisely what we have to defend. Yet the essence of the answer is in the fact that the question may be freely asked and that we may disagree as to the definitions. For democracy is not by any means a system .... It rests on the long experience of the race that men do not grow, learn and create except when they are free .... The basis of democrary is thus in- dividual freedom, embodied in this country in the Bill of Rights. Freedom means differences of opinion. It means political experi- mentation. It means change. We differ, experiment and change under a Constitution rigid only in its basic protections .... We seek for the ultimate justice. We move toward it. We never reach it. Always the new questions arise, always the recurring doubt. It is only of freedom itself; of the democratic method, that we dare not doubt. It is asked: if we cannot define democracy, how can we defend it? . . . Nor do we in this country need an answer to any cloudy ques- tion before we can act in preparation of our own defense. We stand our ground unitedly for the precious right to discuss, to disagree, to try one after another road to happiness and achievement that pleases us. to discover, invent, create, to dream glorious dreams that may never be realized, yet which beautify the lives of men. Is this not worth working for and. if need be, fighting for? We press forward forever on eager feet toward supreme adventure. No chains restrain us, no locksteps keep us within the prison yard of arrogant authority. We take wrong trails, we suffer, we do wrong, but the mountain passes are ahead, the sunsets challenge us. This is democracy. This is freedom. It is worth the best and utmost a man, a woman or a people have to give. It is worth more than life. Men and women have died and are now dying for it. It is a thing of glory, a banner in the wind, a trumpet blowing. If it were universal, peace too would be universal. But it will not lastingly sur- render to any arbitrary power, however armed, however fanatical. For because it has power to stir the hearts of men as nothing else can stir them, it will speak if it must with an unconquerable, an irrestible fury."

How does this sound to you? A desire for such an activity here on campus was stimulated in the minds of the seventeen Susquehanna Uni- versity students who attended the World University Service (WUS) Conference held at the Bucknell University Retreat Center, Cow- an, Pa., on Sunday, October 22. These students went to the con- ference through the sponsorship of the Student Christian Associa- tion. WUS is also affiliated with such other national and interna- tional associations as B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, the National Student Association, and the Unit- ed Nations. Susquehanna had the largest delegation at the confer- ence attended by students from many local colleges, including Penn State, Dickinson, and Buck- nell. What is World University Serv- ice? This is a world wide associ- ation whose main concern is col- lege students. When students need aid, WUS lends a helping hand. For example, during the Hun- garian Revolution when refugee students were entering the United States, WUS helped place these students in colleges so that they might continue their education. Presently WUS is concerned with areas where colleges do not meet student needs, where students do not have enough money to attend college, and where food is so scarce students sometimes go for days with little or nothing to eat, and print their own text books to save money. Dr. Munsany Naidoo, principal of Sastri College, University of Natal in South Africa, addressed the gathering on South African difficulties, particularly in light of his country's political situation. He stated that one of the greatest difficulties is the inequality of races, as well as nationalities. A panel, consisting of foreign students studying in America, dis- cussed situations and difficulties in their homelands. They related what we, as students in America, can do about these difficulties. One of the most important thoughts stemming from the day's discussions was: whether we as college students like it or not, this is one world, one academic com- munity. As students, all are a part of this community. We should know and understand the problems faced by students in other countries. What about Susquehanna Uni- versity? Do we, as students in this academic community know what is going on around the world? Are we conscious of the difficulties faced by fellow stu- dents in other countries? Such questions cause us to wonder what we can do about it. Strong- ly suggested was the formation of an International Club here on campus. What do you think'' Sincerely yours, Blairanne Hoover The Sound of Music The sights and sounds of fall have descended in their full regalia upon the campus of Susquehanna University. In future years we stu- dents will have many pleasant memories of this most beautiful sea- son. Among the finest of these everlasting thoughts, we feel, will be the serenades. With all three sororities having completed their fall serenades, we feel it is high time that someone offered them a word of praise. Any person who has ever experienced the long practices that go into the production of a serenade can certainly appreciate the work of the sororities. The practice of a song is not like that of athletics where daily performance is in itself rewarding. No, the song practice is often quite frustrating, for in the eyes of the song leader it just isn't quite good enough. It is this hard work we wish to praise. Three, even four times a year, the girls come around the campus bringing their message of music. It is a fine message to hear, for it is always delivered most beautifully. It is perhaps the one most unifying event that any fra- ternal organization can undertake. And so we say to the general campus, 'Take note of this fine music and be appreciative of it. It is one of S.U.'s finest and most en- during traditions." And to the individual sororities, "A heartfelt thanks from all the student body for your hard work. Believe us it is very much enjoyed." Let us say simply that the next time you see the girls in jackets of blue, green or yellow give them a little louder applause and be grateful that the sound of music is so often heard at S.U. L.B. Lincoln Film (Continued from Page 1) which is one of the most moving episodes ever recorded on the celluloid. When asked about the film, "The End and the Beginning," Dr. William Adam Rim, Jr. com- mented, "In my view it is the greatest documentary movie ever made." Deibler Recital (Continued from Page 1) on Thursday, he showed us, in the first of the four Ballades, just how a big Chopin piece should sound. This is not music for the faint- hearted; the finger breaking coda has trapped many a great name pianist. Mr. Deibler negotiated the pitfalls with relative ease and again, always musically. We have on the campus a series of Faculty Recitals and a sepa- rate Artist Series. With pride, as a member of the faculty, and with appreciation, as a member of the audience, I should like to dispense with this distinction in this case and refer to last Thurs- day's recital by Galen Deibler as a FACULTY-ARTIST recital, a distinctive contribution to the cul- tural program of the college. Crusader Harriers Dump Washington C. The Crusader cross country team scored a win over Washing- ton College and a loss to The University of Delaware in a tri- angular meet at Washington Col- lege in Chestertown, Md., last Tuesday. The three teams ran together, but the results were scored as in a dual meet. Delaware men finished in the first five places to dump Susque- hanna by a 15-42 count. Jim Up- degrove's time of 22:57 was good for a sixth place against Dela- ware and a first place against Washington College as he led S.U. to a 23-34 win. Other point gainers for the Crusaders were Doug Allen, John Frederick, Bill Pearson, Paul Filipek, Ron Oeh- lert, and Chet Marzolf.

WRITE CREDIT MANAGER, P. O. Box 35, CORTLAND, OHIO. SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE This week we thought we'd devote our column to some sports notes that we happened to come across and that we hope you find interesting. Baltimore Colts linebacker Don Shinnick always leads the squad in prayer after each game. Two weeks ago, Shinnick added an after- thought: "... and bless that farmer with the big leg." He was referring to Steve Myhra, 240 pound guard who kicked a 45-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to beat the Detroit Lions 17-14. Myhra has now won three games with field goals in the final period. Although many people feel that athletes are a bunch of playboys, and in some cases they may be right, some athletes are very reli- gious. Did you know that former Colts fullback Alam Ameche made it a habit to get to Mass before each game whether at home or on the road? Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson also spends at least an hour in church before each bout. With the football season just half over the bowl bids are starting to roll in already. Army and Syracuse have both been invited to ap- pear in the Gotham Bowl, a post season football at the Polo Grounds; however, neither has accepted as of yet. Which brings to mind: Is there any truth that Susquehanna, if they go undefeated, is in the running for a small college bowl bid? Tom Nugent of Maryland is one football coach who talks straight from the shoulder. The report from Chapel Hill is that after North Carolina upset Maryland 14-8, Nugent sought out Jim Hickey, the North Carolina coach, and said, "Congratulations. You beat the best team in the country." Juniata College's sophomore fullback, Grey Berrier, who will be remembered as an all-stater of two years ago, has been sidelined for the season because of a rare condition described as "blood dyscrasia." His physician has recommended relative inactivity for six months for Berrier, younger brother of the famed twins, Bill and Jim. Not only is he a fine football player, but also the best baseball catcher this writer saw in action last spring. Hangings in effigy have been fairly common on college campuses for years, but Penn came up with a new one last week. Instead of "hanging" football coaches, somebody got the bright idea of stringing up the editors of the student newspaper. The paper had recently criti- cized the cheerleaders, the Campus Spirit Committee, the student band, and the football team. Greg Mather, an end on the U.S. Naval Academy's football squad has made 35 points this year without scoring a touchdown. Mather, who is a place-kicking expert, has booted 17 extra points and six field goals. Currently he is ranked number twelve among the nation's in- dividual scorers. Here's a good one. Hank Bullough, 27-year old defensive line coach at Michigan State, recently conducted a clinic on the game for 27 coeds at State, and had to go to the mat witho these questions: Why would a team want to make a field goal when a touchdown is worth more points? What is a first down? What is a quarterback sneak? And, asked one girl, "If you'll excuse the expression, what is a belly series?" After the session one girl confided to him that she wanted to ask about the naked reverse, but didn't dare. Duffy Daughtery, the head coach, had this to say about the situa- tion: "It isn't fair. The head coach should handle such a class." To finish the column, here's a short poem for the female readers: Girls who go to games to eat And moan of chilly hands and feet And never stop that moving jaw, Will be asked to games no more. — Unless they're beautiful! SU Booters Defeat Millersville State Susquehanna's soccer team came up with its first win of the season by taking a close 3-2 de- cision over Millersville State last Tuesday on the home field. Two goals by John Duda and one by Pete Beiger paced the Crusaders' attack. Although Millersville scored the first and last goals, S.U. control- led the ball during most of the game. The first score came 9- minutes into the first quarter as Millersville's Ed Goodhart took a pass from Vince Keagy and boot- ed a short one for the field goal. Ten minutes later, Duda tied the score for Susquehanna after tak- ing a pass from Beiger. Beiger broke the tie at 8:58 of the second quarter on a head shot. Millersville failed to score in this period, but almost succeeded in putting Crusader goalie Frank Yaggi out of action for a while. As Yaggi was making a save, the goal cage fell apart and he was clipped by a bar running across the top. He was shaken but re- mained in the game. There was no score again until midway through the fourth quar- ter. Duda picked up his second goal as he took a pass from Len Purcell and scored. At the 20- minute mark, Keigy came back with a goal for Millersville. The teachers threatened to score again during the final 2 minutes, but were held by the Crusader de- fense until the final whistle. The loss put Millersville's re- cord at 3-4 for the season. Sus- quehanna's first win gave the booters a 1-6 mark with two games remaining. However, the team put forth its best team ef- fort of the season and showed that the mainly inexperienced team that began this year has started to work together and shows promise for next season. OBERLIN vs. S. U. Nov, 4 1:30 P.M. Music Of Civil War (Continued from Page 1) first, done by the Mixed Chorus, is the song, "Free at Last." The closing number will be performed by the Chorus and band and is the beloved. "Battle Hymn of the Republic." It is interesting that an original Civil War heirloom will be part of the program. The coat worn by snare drummer John Grebe belonged to Second Lieutenant Jacob F. Walter of Selinsgrove. Mr. Walter served with Company C, 172nd Regiment, Penna. Vol- unteer Infantry. Selections from Walt Whitman's "Leave of Grass" which typify the life and times to be illustrated will also be read during the pro- gram by narrator Fox.

M Mile North of Selinsgrove Wednesday, November 1, 1961-THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SU Adds Tenth Win In A Row; Delaware Valley Falls 30-0 by Joe Joyce The steamrolling Susquehanna Crusaders continued their winning ways last Saturday with a smashing 30-0 victory over the Delaware Valley Aggies. This week it was quarterback Don Green's turn to lead the Gar- rettmen, and the sophomore from Harrisburg did a terrific job by scoring two touchdowns, inter- cepting two passes, and personal- ly gaining 133 yds. in eleven car- ries. Green was aided in the Cru- sader cause by the K-boys, Ker- stetter and Kissinger, who each romped for a six-pointer, and John Luscko who did some nifty running. The Susquehanna line, led by team captain "Butch" DiFran- cesco, must not be left out of the story as they held the hard-run- ning Delaware Valley backfield to a total of 54 yards on the ground, while leading the way for the Crusader backs who gained an outstanding 401 yards. The Garrettmen broke a Sus- quehanna record with their tenth consecutive victory. The old re- cord was held by the 1951-52 teams which won nine straight games. Susquehanna got things off on the right track in the first quarter after Kerstetter had returned the opening kickoff from the S.U. 29 yard line to the 46. In eight plays the Crusaders, with Kerstetter and Luscko alter- nating in carrying the ball, mov- ed to the Aggies' nine yard line. Faced with a third down and seven situation, quarterback Green skirted his right end to score standing up, and give S.U. the lead after only three minutes had elapsed in the game. Green then hit Kerstetter with a pass for the two-pointer, and it was S.U.— 8 — Delaware Valley-0. Halfway through the second pe- riod Delaware Valley was forced to punt out of danger from their own goal line. The ball was down- ed on the D.V. 37 from where the Crusaders moved to score i n seven plays with Kerstetter going the final yard. The PAT was good when Green again hit Kerstetter for the two-pointer. Following the second half kick- off Delaware Valley advanced from their own 36 to the S.U. 28 yard line. With the ball resting here, the Aggies needing four yards on third down, an aerial by quarterback Frantz was inter- cepted by Susquehanna safety- man Don Green. Three plays later, Green rolled around the left end, and behind some great Crusader blocking, went 69 yards down the sideline to score. Samuel's place kick was good, and S.U. was out in front 23-0. Throughout the second half Delaware Valley tried to get back in the ball game by using a pass- ing attack. The Crusader secon- dary rose to the occasion how- ever, with a number of intercep- tions. After the third Susquehanna touchdown, the Aggies moved to their 47 yard marker. Then cen- ter, John Rowlands, intercepted another Frantz aerial on the S.U. 44, and rambled into Aggie terri- tory before being brought down. Don Green stopped another Ag- gie attempt to score late in the third quarter with an interception on the Susquehanna 17. Late in the third quarter Dela- ware Valley was forced to punt and Susquehanna took over on the Orange and Maroon 18 yard line. With Luscko, Kissinger, and freshman fullback Dick Hirsch toting the mail the Garrettmen moved to the Aggie 25 yard stripe in 13 plays. Then halfback Terry Kissinger busted through left tackle to end the scoring for the day. Tom Samuel added the ex- tra point to make it 30-0, and Garrett's boys were three games away from an undefeated season.

The trophy now occupies a place of honor in the chapter room. Many of the sisters are busy with activities other than those concerned with the sorority. Judy Jantzer has copped a role in the play "Abraham Lincoln" which will be presented by the Susque- hanna Players early in Decem- ber. Best wishes to Barb Lovell who was serenaded by the broth- ers of Theta Chi following her pinning to Jim Parker. ALPHA XI DELTA The Sisters are eagerly await- ing the initiation of the pledges into the sisterhood of Alpha Xi Delta, which will take place on Friday evening, November 3. This will be indeed a most pleas- ant day for pledges Lori Ann Border, Lynda Boyer. Sarah Hannum, and Sue Houseworth, who eagerly await this day, when they will be taken into the Alpha Xi Delta circle of friendship and will be enabled to wear Alpha Xi Delta's most cherished golden quill. On Sunday evening, October 28, the Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta conducted the service for Ves- pers. Sister Donna Zeilman and Martha Sue Detjen were in charge of the program. Sister Peggy Simon was in charge of the entertainment for S.A.I.'s party, which was held Monday evening, October 23. Sis- ter Linda Wassom also helped in the evening's entertainment by rendering a vocal solo. Homecoming, 1961, was a big success at Lambda Chi Alpha. Although the skies were overcast and rain threatened to dampen the festivities, many alumni were welcomed back to the house by the brotherhood and a capacity crowd attended the evening ban- quet in honor of the returning brothers. The alumni also saw the Lambda Chi Alpha float entry "Peace Thru Education," con- structed under the leadership of Fred Hauser, capture the fra- ternity float trophy for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to the following brothers who are members of the Varsity Football team: Ken Haus- er, Joe Perfilio, Dick Rohland, Neal Markle, Butch DiFrancesco, John Rowlands, Tom Samuel, Don Green, John Luscko, and Terry Kissinger. On the intramural front, con- gratulations are also extended to quarterback, Lynn Snyder, and other members of the intramural lootball team who rolled up their fourth consecutive win and have captured first place honors by downing Theta Chi. The following brothers will be seen in the Susquehanna Players' future production, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" by Robert E. Sher- wood: Dick Rohland, John Pig- natore. Fred Dunkelberger, Bob Squires, Bob Brenner, and Phil Pemberton.

Held scoreless in the first half, the Crusader booters re- bounded to outplay Gettysburg College although losing the match 7-3. Gettysburg scored first midway through the first period when Rick Burchell booted one in from 15 yards out. Three more tallies in the second period by the same Burchell dropped Susquehanna to the short end of a 4-0 score. The second half saw an inspired Crusader offense match goals with Gettysburg while keeping most of the play at the Susque- hanna end of the field. All three Susquehanna scores came off the toe of Pete Beiger. The first two were from short distances while the third was a sensational twen- ty-five yard boot into the upper left-hand corner of the cage. Gettysburg also scored three times during the final half, in- cluding the fifth goal of the day for Burchell. Outstanding offen- sively for Susquehanna were Pete Beiger and George Kirchner, while Bill Bailey led the defense. For Gettysburg the whole story was Burchell who sparkled of- fensively in leading the Bullets to their fifth win against two losses. The final tally was 7-3, Gettysburg. THETA CHI Saturday evening, October 28. saw the beginnings of the social season at Theta Chi fraternity with an informal Open House for the brothers and their dates. Un- der the supervision of Social Chairman Jim Skinner, the in- formal affair revolved around the traditional aspects of the Hal- loween season. With this Open House as a starter, the brother- hood is eagerly awaiting the Hay- ride scheduled for November 11. Homecoming weekend proved to be the scourge of the bachelors club. Brother Jim Parker relin- quished possession of a bit of fraternal hardware to Miss Bar- bara Lovell. The brotherhood celebrated the occasion by seren- ading the young lady in question who is affectionately referred to as "Tiger." Congratulations are also in order for Herb Yingling who pinned Miss Gail Troxel, an S.U. graduate of 1960. Kappa Delta Presents Annual Fashion Show Fall and winter fashions for school, dress, fraternity and holi- day parties were on display last night in the lounge of the new women's dormitory. This fashion show is a semi-annual event pre- sented by Kappa Delta Sorority and sponsored by the Lyon's Shop of Lewisburg and Selinsgrove. The highlight of the evening was Ellie Heischman modeling a fall wedding gown and her attendant Marge Brandt wearing a gown for the maid of honor. The purpose of the fashion show is to display for the women of Sus- quehanna University the changing fashion trends and provide them with a place to buy them. On No- vember 3, the Lyon's Shop will observe the grand opening of their new store in Selinsgrove. It will occupy the building previous- ly occupied by Learn's. Members of the sorority partici- pating as models were Jane Beers, Judy Behrens, Nellie Mae Keller, Nita Zimmerman, Candy Fink, Patsy Hoehling, Joan Hen- derson, Ruth Almond. Carole Davis, Margie Brandt, Bobbie Claffee and Eleanor Heischman. by Ruth Almond There comes a time in every college student's life when he must tackle the problem of mid-terms. These exams are composed of, and in many cases decomposed of, dainty little tidbits thrown together by some panic-stricken professor in order to produce a mark for the mid-semester average. So, in answer to the pitiful cry of "help" aris- ing from the masses, we have compiled a few helpful hints of how to "bomb" those tests and still keep your sanity. PROBLEM: It is the night before that big exam, and you suddenly realize the impossibility of digesting the work between pages 1-900 as- signed three weeks ago. SOLUTION: Don't panic. Learn to skim-read. First, count the number of words contained on a page— say about 300. Next divide this by 6, leaving 50. Turn to the conclusion at the end of each chapter, blindfold yourself, and stab unsparingly with a pencil until there are 50 marks in the book. By reading these 50 marked words you will have covered the essence of the chapter. DISADVANTAGE: Watch out for books containing no conclusion! PROBLEM: So, you just can't seem to stay alert, let alone awake. What should you do? SOLUTION: Do what every intelligent college student does. Take NoDoz and restore that mental alertness in 15 minutes. Before you had trouble keeping your eyes open— now it's utterly impossible to close them. DISADVANTAGE: Nine out of ten students pass out during the first 5 minutes of the exam when the effects wear off. PROBLEM: You have that zoology lab practical coming up and you haven't attended class lately. SOLUTION: Remember, if it moves, it's an amoeba. DISADVANTAGE: Your amoeba may be dead. PROBLEM: You have finally purchased your book from the book store, yet you have no time to read it because you have a heavy date that night. SOLUTION: Rush to the frat or sorority files and collect all past tests. Check through these, copying down and memorizing all ques- tions which have been asked more than twice. DISADVANTAGE: Your professor may be checking his files and eliminating all questions which have been asked more than twice! PROBLEM: Find that you can't memorize those dates at all. Why not try association? SOLUTION: For example, Columbus discovered America in 1492. O.K. You school box number is 1400. Add 95 to this because your grandmother's 95th birthday is today. Subtract 3 because that's how many tests you've failed so far. DISADVANTAGE: You may not have a 95 year old grandmother.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1961 Lutheran Drama Organization Program Includes Talk, Plays For the past few years the Lutheran Foundation for Religious Drama, a non-profit, church-sponsored theatre organization has been zealously working to revitalize the drama within the church. To use the words of its executive director, Norman D. Dietz, who is the former news editor of WGAL-TV in Lancaster, the foundation's first concerns have been "to re-establish the drama as an act of religious worship, an expression in religious terms of man's awe at the mysteries of life and love, and to create within the church an area of endeavor in which the actor, director and playwright (as well as their numerous co-work- ers in theatrical productions), no less than the musician and composer, the painter and sculptor can make a thoughtful contribution to the spir- itual life of the community." Through the efforts of Dr. Otto Reimherr, the students, faculty, and friends of Susquehanna will have the rare opportunity of be- ing exposed to a fine program presented by the members of this organization. Religious drama, to most peo- ple, is a relatively unknown as- pect of the theatre. Thus the Lu- theran Foundation for Religious Drama came into existence about three years ago initially, with the York Nativity Play. Its member- ship, representative of a cross- section of Lutheran Church bodies, is composed of profession- al actors and actresses, who find this type of drama their main in- terest or hobby. The company performs a variety of activities and travels extensively. The eventful day scheduled is Sunday, November 12, 1961. Get- ting the program underway will be a lecture on contemporary trends in literature, delivered by Dr. Tom River, of the Union The- ological Seminary and drama edi- tor of The Christian Century. This will take place from 4 to 5 p.m. Following the lecture, dinner will be available in Horton Dining Hall. Activities will resume at 7 p.m. when the LFRD presents four short plays: Old Ymers Clay Pot, an allegory; Joan and King Charlie, an adaption from George Bernard Shaw; It Should Happen To A Dog, by Wolf Mankevitz; and Let Man Live by Par Lagerk- ( Continued on Page 5) Luther League Tours Campus; SU Hosts Lutheran Youth Day In connection with Lutheran Youth Days being held on campus Nov. 4 and 11 — Student guides conduct tours for the visitors. Lec- tures and a football game highlight the day. Last Saturday approximately 500 Luther Leaguers from the Central Pennsylvania Synod Churches in this area arrived on the Susquehanna University campus for a Lutheran Youth Day. Under the direction of Mr. George Tamke, Director of Public Relations, these high school students were treated to a glimpse of college life. Arriving on campus at noon, the mass was divided into two groups. One group heard a discussion by Mr. Donald Wis- singer, Director of Alumni Rela- tions, and the other group a talk by Mr. Dan MacCuish, Director of Admissions, on the topic. "Who (Jets Into College." After this introduction they were taken on a tour of the campus by Candy Fink, and guides Ann Corson, Bonnie Schaffer, Pam Yeager, Patsy Hoehling, Nancy Zook, Bobbie Claffee, Pat Sintay, Lois Hinnie. Pat Goetz, Jane Kump, Margie Brandt, Joyce Lundy, and Pat Brownell. After viewing the Susquehanna vs. Oberlin football game, the young people started home after a busy day. Next Saturday approximately 200 more high school students will share this same type of spe- cial day. They will hear Mr. Wis- singer on the topic, "What Sus- quehanna Can Do For You." Through this type of program, young people in this area have an opportunity to become aspired to attend college. "IMAGINE ME, SAINT JOAN!" Barbara Beasley, front left, playing the title role in an adaption of the Epilogue to "Saint Joan" by George Bernard Shaw, wonders aloud at the honors posterity has heaped on her. Awed by the visions she sees, Harry Natschke, John Mark and Norman Dietz, who play various roles in the touring production, look on in amazement. All have been with the Touring Repertory Com- pany of The Lutheran Foundation for Religious Drama since its inception early in 1961. Peace Corps To Visit S.U. Nov. 15 Have you ever aspired to be- coming a member of the Peace Corps? On November 15, you will be given an excellent oppor- tunity to learn about the Corps, and the role you might be able to play in it. Mrs. Marise Ross, a Peace Corps field representative, will be on campus all day next Wednes- day. Mrs. Ross will meet with language classes at 1:00 p.m. and will speak at a joint fraternity and sorority meeting to be held in the chapel that evening. For any student interested in speaking personally to Mrs. Ross. Dr. Zimmer will gladly assist in arranging a private interview. Dr. Zimmer also has literature concerning the Peace Corps which is now available in his office. The Peace Corps, established on March 1, 1959, by President Kennedy gives American citizens over age 18 the opportunity to help build understanding and trust throughout the world. Peace Corps duty gives invalu- able and enriching experience to those who are privileged to per- form it. Monday evening, Dr. Thomas F. Armstrong, head of the busi- ness department, treated the Cru- sader cheerleaders and their ad- visor, Miss Betsy McDowell, to dinner at the Pine Barn Inn in Danville. This was Dr. Armstrong's way of saying thank you to Co-captains Bette Davis and Pat Goetz, and squad members Pam Yeager, Nancy Zook, Maureen Curley, Barbara Evans, Lynne Helreigel, and Pip Hughes for their spirited cheering during Football Season. Susquehanna Deadlocked 7-7 By Oberlin; Win Streak Ends Susquehanna's Crusaders fell from the ranks of the unbeaten and untied teams in the nation last Saturday when a team from Ohio — Oberlin College — held the charges of Coach James Garrett to a 7-7 tie on mud-splattered University Field. Both teams scored in the sec- ond quarter, the Crusader six- pointer coming with nine minutes gone in the period when quarter- back Don Green, passing from the eight yard line of Oberlin, found Ken Hauser in the end zone. Mauser, although covered by two Oberlin defenders, made a great leaping catch in the right corner of the end zone. Tom Samuel then added the extra point. The Oberlin score came with 11 seconds remaining in the first half. Fullback Alan Spiegelberg crashed over from the two yard line, and then split the uprights with a place kick to tie the score. With the scoreboard showing 35 seconds remaining in the game Tom Samuel's field goal attempt from the 23 yard line fell short in a last-ditch Crusader attempt to win number seven. The contest, which was played in intermittent rain, saw both squads playing heads-up defen- sive ball and displaying strong running attacks. The Orange and Maroon lost a good chance to score in the first quarter. Mike Rupprecht inter- cepted one of quarterback Jim Wright's aerials on the midfield stripe, and returned it to the Oberlin 35 yard line before being stopped. Four plays later the Crusaders were on the Oberlin 13 yard line only to have their drive slopped by a fumble. Susquehanna moved into Ober- lin territory again early in the second quarter. The Crusaders advanced from their own twenty yard line to the Oberlin 35 behind some fine running of Kerstetter and Kissinger and a 20 yard pass play from Green to Hauser. Here the attack was thwarted when halfback Bob Smythe intercepted a Green aerial on the Oberlin 14. Throughout the second half the Crusader defensive line, led by John Rowlands and Ben DiFran- cesco, held the Yeomen from Ohio to a total of two first downs, but the Garrettmen were unable to put a sustained drive together until the fourth quarter. Starting of the S.U. 32 yard line the Garrettmen, with frosh Larry Erdman doing some great ball carrying, drove to the Oberlin 30 yard stripe from where freshman QB Sam Metzger, who had enter- ed the game when Don Green in- jured his knee, hit Kissinger with a pass on the 20. Three plays later another aerial attempt to Kissinger was intercepted by Ob- erlin linebacker Joel Millikan on the 15. Susquehanna got control of the ball with six minutes left in the game when John Luscko return- ed a punt from his own 30 to the 46. Erdman and Luscko then carried to the 15 of Oberlin. With 35 seconds remaining and the Crusaders faced with a fourth down and twelve situation, Sam- uel's field goal fell short and the game ended with the scoreboard reading S.U.— 7 — Oberlin— 7.

Editors have written unlimited editorials around this theme, spirited advocates have resounded countless pleads on this subject and the result — nothing achieved except a hackneyed topic. To succeed in instilling school spirit in a mass of students is a difficult chore. No one has yet come up with seven basic steps to fol- low, and it is quite unprobable anyone ever will. There is an asser- tion that cannot be refuted, though, and that is, one difference between the spirited enthusiasts and the lifeless remnants is the former have the ability to appreciate. Such a commendable attribute and so easy to obtain: it's a wonder more students have not sought to possess it. We realize we cannot make students relinquish their immobility and burst forth with unharbored enthusiasm, but we can at least call attention to those endeavors which we feel merit appreciation. The Susquehanna marching band most deservingly merits appreci- ation and also praise. Its performances have been so outstanding that it is not a rash statement to say it surpasses all marching bands of previous years. This year's band offers something new in both music and marching — something that cannot be defined except to say it is a special quality that comes only with practice, effort, and dedication. The marching band is one of the truest examples of team work as each member receives no individual praise. The members practice earnestly and diligently not as individuals, but as an organized body representing the school. This dedication in itself deserves apprecia- tion from the student body. Instead of running to the refreshment stand or chatting to class- mates, we suggest that you watch the band perform during half time at the next two football games. If you do not experience a feeling of pride in being a student at a college that is so fashionably represent- ed, we say you have missed something great at Susquehanna. P.G.

The oldsters in the audi- ence were rapt in their praise: one lady said to me: "It is an experience we'll never forget." Dozens of people came to me to commend the director, the band, and all who were connected with the program. Even though stu- dents are likely to be cynical about such things, numerous stu- dents offered the comment that it was a grand evening and they would not have missed it. Most of them were not in my classes. That, I submit, is praise, indeed. The highest credit goes to Steffy, Alterman, Summer, and Company for putting on a pro- gram that was ever in good taste and carried out with dignity. I must confess to a little misgiving —as I listened to the rehearsals— about some rough spots that need- ed to be ironed out. But they were, and the production had a very professional touch to it. Fox's sincere interpretation in his readings added greatly to the favorable impact of the entire production upon the audience. As coordinator between the University and the Historical So- ciety. I can speak for the Society when I say to Steffy: Your band did a marvelous job: and mem- bers of the Society — who, by the way, paid the entire cost of the affair— were more than satisfied. I go even farther. As the senior professor on the campus, I as- sume the privilege of speaking for the faculty, the administra- tion, the student body, and the visitors, when I state: The band acquitted itself splendidly, and performed good work for the col- lege. You made friends for the institution on that night, for there were people present who had never before set foot upon the campus. It is a long time since, if ever, we have been favored by the presence of 800 people at a public or semi-public affair < Con- vocations do not count). Older people are often irritated — some- times rightly so — at the crazy antics and lack of responsibility of the younger generation. As for myself, however, on last Wed- nesday evening I was proud to have the privilege of working with young people. I thank the editors for giving me the space to assert some things that, ought to be asserted about an evening in which the college never looked better in the eyes of all present, whether fac- ulty, students, administration, or townspeople. William A. Russ, Jr. 11/3/61 Dear Editors, "Do we as students in this aca- demic community know what is going on around the world?" This statement in last week's letter to the editor caused deep concern to a group of us.

We have built an invisible wall around the cam- pus. Everything that we do is centered around Susquehanna. We don't think about the other students on European or Latin American campuses. What are these foreign students doing 9 How are they treating life's social and educational prob- lems? Can we learn anything from them? When they have op- portunities for intellectual awak- ening (lectures, concerts, and historical movies), do they take advantage of such an occasion or do they lack interest, as some Susquehanna students? How many of us have spoken to students on our campus who have traveled abroad, and to the students who have come from abroad to stply on this campus? Subconsciously, we must believe that we are the only people that matter and that the world events won't affect us anyway. We don't seek to increase our knowledge around our own college, much less around the world. How can we Susquehanna University stu- dents take decisive action to im- prove our own intellectual growth? STUDENTS AGAINST INTELLECTUAL MYOPIA November 3, 1961 Dear Editors, The student library committee has been collecting suggestions as to the improvement of library science. Although only 28 replies were received 'with four of these from faculty members >, some in- teresting comments were made. One student asked, for example, that the library be open on Sun- day afternoons. For his informa- tion, it is open every Sunday aft- ernoon from 2-5 p.m. The hours are posted on the door. Another asks that the Dewey Decimal classification be posted. May I point out that there are five such charts in the library. Most interesting were the sug- gestions from quite a few students that the library be quieter and that students use it, not as a place for socialization, but as a place for study. If the library staff makes an effort to exercise a bit more discipline in this respect, I hope the students will realize that it is their fellow-students who have requested it. As for the noise of the typewriters in the library of- fices, I can only say that we have to type almost constantly and can do no more than keep the office doors shut. We have also discovered, through the student committee, that many students are not aware of the fact that we have a listen- ing room with a collection of 167 records, and that we have a room equipped with a typewriter for student use. Finally may I ask you to list the members of the student com- mittee so that students may chan- nel their suggestions about li- brary service through them. They are Jim Black, chairman, Elwood Hippie, Pat Estep, Pat Taylor, Annette Campbell, and Jean Die- bel. May I say that the librarian welcomes suggestions and will make every effort to provide services which are reasonable and feasible with our present staff. Alfred J. Krahmer, Libr. Sincerely. Katherine Gibbs Scholarships Two national scholarships for college senior girls w offered for 1962-1963 by the Katharine Gibbs School. These awards were estab- lished in 1935 as a memorial to Mrs. Katharine M. Gibbs, founder and first president of the School. ' Each scholarship consists of full tuition ($935) for the secretarial training course, plus an additional cash award of $500, totaling $1,435. The winner may select any one of the four Gibbs schools for their training — Boston, New York, Montclair, or Providence. Winners art chosen by the Scholarship Committee on the basis of college academic record, personal and character qualification, financial need, and potentialities for success in business. Each college or university may recommend two candidates, and each candidate must have this official endorsement. Students who may be interested in competing for one of these Katharine Gibbs awards may obtain full information from the college placement bureai. Wednesday, November 8, 1961 -THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Since a few of the fall sports have already been completed at Sus- quehanna, we thought we'd take a look and see what the Crusaders teams have accomplished, and who were the individual standouts. The Susquehanna soccer team finished the campaign with a hapless 1-7 record; their lone win coming against Millersville State by a score of 3-2. However, despite the record, the Crusaders did gain something from thier contests which is sure to help them in future seasons — ex- perience. The charges of Coach William Heim had only one senior, Len Pur- cell, in their lineup this year, which incidentally, was only the second year of intercollegiate competition for the school since 1940. The S.U. booters were outscored in all games this season 47-13, being shut out in four of the contests. Standouts who will be returning next year include Pete Beiger, who lead the team in scoring ten goal, Frank Yaggi who was outstand- ing guarding the nets, John Duda who booted in three goals, and George Kirchner who performed well throughout the campaign. Beiger and Yaggi each received nominations for Little All-American. The returnees for 1W2 will also include Al Bachrach, Dick Beider- man, Bill Bailey, Peter Freimanns, John Kaufman, Tony Kilburn, Tom Peischl, Bob Richards, Dan Seyes, Larry Shaffer, Robert Silar, and Fred Staffer. Over in the cross-country department, the Crusader harriers had only two wins and were defeated seven times. Both Crusader wins came over Washington College. The S.U. thinclads, who were in their first year of intercollegiate competition, and are coached by David Hindman, can also look for- ward to future winning campaigns. The Orange and Maroon were paced by captain Jim Updegrove and freshman Doug Allen. Other performers for S.U. were John Fred- rick, Paul Filipk, Chet Marzolf, Ron Ohlort, and Bill Pearson. Of the above only Updegrove will be graduating, so the harriers of Coach Hindman will be anxious to go come the fall of '62. Not to leave the lassies out of the picture, the Susquehanna field hockey team which compiled a four lost, one tie, record, are in the same position as the above-mentioned sport. Coached by Miss Kay Cochran, the girls will not lose a single per- pormer from this year's squad. The girls, who had more members on their team, than the two teams mentioned earlier, were led by Marge Brandt, Toby Brodisch, Mary James, Penny Mercer, and Barb Stockalis. This column would like to extend a special thanks to the perform- ers of these fall sports for doing a fine job in helping Susquehanna to move to the forefront in intercollegiate athletics. What To Watch For! S.U. vs. Hobart, Sat., Nov. 11 Past Performance— Hobart has lost 6 straight games. Their league is extremely tough, and bad breaks have hurt them. Speed— Soph. LHB Carlisi can do the 100 in 10 sec. flat. Rest of team is average to good. Ends are quick. Weight— Line will outweigh S.U. by nearly 10 lbs to the man. Is strong line with several 60-minute men. Offense— Passers Cabal and Cullen are extremely accurate. Cullen will gamble in his own territory. End Adkinson may be the best S.U. has faced this year. HB Carlisi is very fast and FB Nye is best all-around player. Defense— Line is strong. Linebackers will fire gaps and halfbacks come up fast on runs. Pass defense is weakest spot. Special— #2 QB Cullen will gamble in his own territory and likes the long pass. Adkinson is a good tough end and will be a real threat. Attitude— Hobart is looking for first win of the season. They have nothing to lose. S.U. must bounce back from Oberlin and show championship calibre if the Tangerine Bowl is to be a reality. A real must game. Hockey Team Drops Soccer Squad 1-0 In Inter-Sport Contest The male population of Susque- hanna received their first experi- ence in field hockey as the Soc- cer team challenged the varsity girls. It seemed as though the boys were more proficient at golf than hockey as balls and sticks flew during the first fleeting min- utes of the game. There are a few girls with sore feet and shins that are quite aware that Frank Yaggi was in the game. His one handed drib- ble and soccer trained feet led his team. But despite the efforts of these hard working males, the feminine population, aided by Marge Brandt's lone goal, defeat- ed the men in what was more a game of strength than skills. Bruised shins and aching mus- cles will remind these fellows of their new experience for a long time to come. As for the girls, they wilL hang up their tunics and sticks and call it a season.

In the "big game" for first place, Lambda Chi Alpha dumped Theta Chi 7-0. On the second play of the contest Lynn Snyder skirt- ed his left end and went 80 yds. for the score. Lambda Chi con- tinued their winning ways by also defeating Phi Epsilon. The Alpha House and Day Stu- dents showed that they are still in the running by dropping Phi Epsilon, and then they defeated G.A. by a score of 12-0. In other loop games G.A. Hall upset the North Dorm, and Phi Mu Delta picked up a win by for- feit when South Dorm was unable to field a team. The schedule for the remainder of the season will be published as soon as the necessary revisions are made.

John Unitas when asked why he threw a flat pass in a crucial spot, "When you know what you're doin*. you don't get inter- cepted." Bobby Layne on quarterback leadership, "Just the way you bark out the signals can tell the team if you have confidence in the play you called. They have to want to make it work. They have to be willing to put out that extra ten per cent." The quarterback is boss says Unitas. Before he was a star Unitas heard the team's fullback call in the huddle, "We need two yards for a first. I'll carry the ball on such-and-such a play." Snapped Unitas, "You'll carry the ball when I tell you to. I'm the boss out here." Norm Van Brocklin, an ex- Eagle great, 'The toughest part about playing quarterback is win- ning." Tom Nugent, Maryland football coach, describing his team's loss to North Carolina: "It was so muddy that when I went to con- gratulate the Carolina players, I discovered they were mine." Norm Cash, Detroit first base- man and American League bat- ting champion: "We're like cattle —get fat and they trade you off." field following the game— Tom Samuel had everything against him in his field goal attempt; he had to kick on a very muddy field and was kicking from an angle off to the right— Oberlin fullback Alan Spiegel berg, who is ranked among the top ten ground gainers in the country, was indeed one of the finest runners to hit the Sus- quehanna field in recent years. SU Hockey Prospects Reveal Bright Future Although the S.U. lasses still do not have a victory, the team is showing much improvement and should produce a successful sea- son in the next year or two. The passing attack of the forward line surpasses that of last year's team; however, the defense needs strengthening before the team can start adding games to the winning column. The team's scoring was headed by junior Captain Toby Brodisch and sophomore halfback Ann S p r i g g 1 e totaling two points apiece. Sophomore Marge Brandt scored once to complete the points for S.U. After tying Elizabethtown 1-1, S.U. lost her last three games, all played on their home field. Dick- inson dropped the lasses by a 3-2 score; tallies were added by Spriggle and Brodisch. Millers- ville slipped through to a 3-1 vic- tory in a cold driving rain; Brod- isch flicked in S.U.'s point in the first half. Penn State took S.U.'s final game of the season 4-1; the lone goal was scored by Spriggle. The team is composed mostly of sophomores and freshmen which should provide the experi- ence needed to produce a win- ning team in the next two years. When the team perfects its timing between the defense and offense, it will be on the road to victory. Millersville State Blanks SU Booters Millersville State College took a revenge victory from Susque- hanna last Wednesday as they jolted the Crusaders by a 7-0 count. Linemen Jerry Brenner and Kerm Hower paced the State Teachers' attack by scoring five goals between them. The Crusaders handed Millers- ville a 3-2 defeat a few weeks ago, and the teachers were out to avenge the loss. The S.U. boot- ers' defense kept Millersville from scoring until the second quarter when the team picked up three quick field goals. They add- ed three more in the third quar- ter and one in the fourth. Strong wind and bright sunlight combined with the probable com- placent attitude of the team con- tributed to this sad conclusion of a trying season. The Crusader team fiinished the season with a 1-8 mark. However, in their last two outings, they began to show signs of promise which was lack- ing in their final game.

THE SEA: THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF MAN In the beginning, the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was everywhere. The new earth was a ball of intensely hot gases. Gradually the ball of flaming gases cooled. The gases began to liquefy, and Earth became a molten mass. As soon as the earth's crust cooled enough, the rains began to fall. They fell continuously, day and night, for centuries. The rain poured into the ocean basins, or, falling upon the continental basses drained away to become sea. In what manner the sea produced the mysterious and wonderful stuff called protoplasm, no one knows. In its warm, dimly lit waters the unknown conditions of temperature and pressure and saltiness must have been critical factors for the creation of life from non-life. At any rate the sea produced the result that neither the alchemists with their crucibles nor modern scientists in their laboratories have been able to achieve. This miracle is the most important role which the sea has played in the history of mankind. As the years passed, and the centuries, and the millions of years, life in the sea continued to grow more and more complex. After about two billion years, some of these plants and animals were washed out of the sea on the land, and a few of them continued to live. After many more eons of years, man developed from these first elementary land creatures. Man is therefore the result of a proper mixture of the elements in sea water which has been subjected to, and influenced by the changing environment of the earth during the last several bil- lion years. To primitive man, the sea was an endless body of water that flow- ed forever around the border of the world. It was the end of the earth, and the beginning of heaven. They believed that the ocean was bound- less; it was infinite. No person would think of trying to venture far out upon it. Men believed that if a person would travel very far on it, he would pass through darkness and would come at last to a dreadful blending of sea and sky. This was a place where whirlpools and deep pits waited to draw him down into a dark world from which there was no return. However, as man continued to populate the earth, he began to reject many of the superstitions which he had about the sea. He then turned his thoughts to ways of using the sea to benefit himself and his people. Besides getting food from the water, he found that it could be used as a means of transportation. Man became inquisitive. He want- ed to know what was on the other side of the ocean, if anything. He therefore began to build vessels of various shapes and sizes in which to travel to other parts of the world. The age of exploration had dawned. The sea still plays a very important role in the development of mankind. It is still a chief source of food and transportation, just as it was to our ancestors. Mankind is now looking to the sea as a pos- sible solution to some of its problems. Scientists believe, and are working diligently to prove, that the vast ocean can be a source of our future water supply. The ocean also contains many essential min- erals which could sustain the world, after the underground supply runs out. In its broader meaning, the concept of the primitive man remains, for the sea lies all about us. Some of the commerce of all lands must cross it. The continents themselves dissolve and pass into it. So the rains that rose from it return again in rivers. In its mysterious past it encompasses all the dim origins of life and it receives in the end, after many alterations, the dead shell of that same life. For all at last return to the sea, the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end. Air Force Team On Campus November 13 A United States Air Force Male and Female Officer Information Team will visit the campus of Susquehanna University on Mon- day, November 13, 1961. from 8 30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The informa- tion team will be located in the lounge adjacent to the Snack Bar. The primary purpose of this visit is to acquaint college stu- dents with the various Air Force Officer programs available after graduation or during the senior year of college: programs such as the Female Officer Training School Program, Male Officer Training School Program, and the Aviation Cadet Program. If interested in obtaining in- formation pertaining to any of the above mentioned programs, please contact any member of the information team during their visit to your campus Of course mere is no obligation. The Student Council will sponsor a Lounge Dance on Nov. 11 from 4-8 p.m. immediately following the football game. The dance will feature the "NOCTURNS". See you there! Centennial Programs Draw Large Crowds Large, enthusiastic audiences turned out on successive nights last week to witness Susquehan- na's Civil War Centennial observ- ance. The programs, a musical presentation and a film, were well received by all who viewed them. The Centennial observance be- gan Wednesday with a program of Civil War music featuring James Steffy and the University Symphonic Band. The highlights of that evening's entertainment included: "When Johnny Comes Marching Horn e," Copeland's "Lincoln Portrait" and the "Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic." Other outstanding work was done by the Mixed Chorus and the Crusaders as well as by the narrator, Walt Fox. The musical program was held in the Alumni Gymnasium and was so well attended that not a single seat of the 700-plus provid- ed for was vacant. The program was jointly sponsored by the Uni- versity and the Snyder County Historical Society. The film, "The End and the Be- ginning," provided the major por- tion of the entertainment last Thursday as the second part of the Centennial Program. The film, a documentary produced by James Agee, covered the life of Lincoln in reverse order. It be- gan with the final month of Lin- coln's life and the assassination before portraying "The Begin- ning" in a small cabin in Ken- tucky. The highlight of the Lincoln film was the famous "Funeral Train" sequence. This moving section dealt with the return of Lincoln's body to Springfield, 111., for burial. Master of Ceremonies for the eve- ning and the moving force behind the entire observance was Dr. William A. Russ, Jr., Susquehan- na's Professor of History. Accounting Firms Interview Seniors The accounting majors of the senior class were interviewed re- cently by representatives of six of the largest public accounting firms. These interviews are a part of the internship program which has been in operation for the last sev- eral years. The interviews served a dual purpose by giving the stu- dent a chance to decide which firm he desires to intern with and by giving the various companies a chance to evaluate each indi- vidual student. Mr. Lamar D. Inners, Professor of Accounting, will coordinate the internship pro- gram. The internship will start at the end of the first semester and will continue for six weeks. The ma- jority of students will be assigned in New York City, but some will be in Philadelphia and Pitts- burgh. The period spent with the companies will be filled with as much practical experience as pos- sible. The work will be that of a junior accountant, and each per- son will cover at least two or three audit assignments. This program is designed to give each intern an extensive view of public accounting and insight into the firm which he may decide to affiliate with after graduation. John Grebe, S.U. Drummer Boy, wears a Civil War uniform in recent Centennial program. The uniform is over 100 years old and was donated to the University by a local Selinsgrove family. Are You The Desk Girl? by Pat Goetz The place is the front desk in the women's new dormtory on a Friday night. All is quiet except for the chimes striking their last dong to say it's 7.00 p.m. You are to keep vigil until 11:00, but all is so peaceful that you begin to feel rather smug. Maybe it will be an easy night. A student lounges in and after peering at you like you're on exhibi- tion says. "Are you the desk girl?" You refrain from saying the curt remark that is by this time bub- bling on the tip of your tongue, swallow hard and utter, "Who do you wish to see?" (A desk girl is always patient.) She is especially pa- tient with these neophytes who are making their first appearance to a women's dormitory. At a speedy pace you find his date's room, an- nounce her caller, -and slowly saunter back to the desk. Meanwhile the sophomore class meeting has adjourned and 35 eager girls are now crowding around the desk all clamoring to retrieve their sign-in cards at the same time. The file box is certainly getting a work out as the frantic females grab and pass, remove and insert. You just know it's destined to fall on the floor, and you will spend the remainder of the evening sorting 150 cards. Coming to the rescue, you push in amongst the crowd to maintain order. (A desk girl is al- ways an organizer.) The attempt is in vain so you scramble to your chair which now has ten girls draped over it. What's the use — you resort to looking out the window. In comes good old Marvin who has just decided he wants a date. You run through the cards listing all the eligibles. I A desk girl is al- ways helpful* Marvin has become particular, though, and decides he wants the lass who sits next to him in chem leb, whose description fits approximately fifteen girls. So it's off with your list of 15 rdbm num- bers to trace down the mysterious miss Marvin seeks. It turns out no one has chem lab with Marvin, so it's back to the desk to inform him of his plight. In saunters another newcomer and spurts out what sounds like a sneeze. "Gesundheit," you smile. <A desk girl is always courteous.) He spells the name; and you find he means Clara Chew so collecting your stamina for the hike, you sprint off to the opposite wing. At 9 30 p.m. the regulars begin to flow in. It's room 36 for Jim, 55 for Kenny, 40 for Dick and 49 for George. <A desk girl is always faithful. ) The rounds are made, and you sink back in your chair wait- ing for the blood to begin circulating in your legs again. What a hectic night! The last hour passes rather rapidly, but with many interruptions. At 10:00 and 10:30 the sophomores and juniors reluctantly return to the dorm. The seniors — how obviously their expressions depict they are beginning to get tired of curfews — are the last of the lot. All except for Joan who straggles in one or two minutes later. You listen to her relate her tale of woe as she solicitously walks backwards to her room, but instead of telling her you have no intention of giving her a demerit, you let her think she's talking you out of it. The night is over. Shakespeare and calculus certainly didn't get much attention tonight, but "that which is overlooked today can be accomplished tomorrow." You turn out the lights and slowly walk to your room thinking about the revisions for your "things to do" list for Saturday. Sometimes you wonder if it wouldn't be easier to work in the cafeteria. Wednesday, November 8, 1961— THE CRUSADER— Page 5 WHITE SOUND FACE PAINTING - Bob Bechtel The roll of face paint among the primitive tribes of the world has had a rich and exciting history. Face paint has never been casual in purpose; its use is intended to convey a meaning that no one could mistake. Any anthropologist could easily identify the cheek markings of the Sioux Indians on the warpath and instantly realize that the proper response was to flee as quickly as possible. As a matter of fact, American settlers didn't do so badly with such interpretations, indicating that face paint certainly had a way of making its message well understood. It might be said that it crossed all barriers of lan- guage, culture, and understanding. But picture, if you will, our same anthropologist in the cement wilderness of a modern city confronted with an apparition: the face is surrounded by silver hair (with bluish highlights!) ... the eyebrows arched cruelly in places nature had never dreamed of (and plucked from where nature had planted!) . . . the. eyelids are iridescent blue while a "surprise" line flashes platinum at the place where brush hairs are stuck on . . . underneath the eyes a blackening suggests perhaps a mild type battle-mark, or lack of sleep, while the lines of the eyes themselves seem to wander far back into the temples before reluctant- ly coming to a point, then surge forward again to meet in frustration at the wall of the nose . . . then ... the lips, painted larger than life and of a color that matches some article of clothing (or the rug, or, if out- side, the sky or grass) clamp themselves over a tube that seeps smoke. Perhaps all the openings on the face exhale smoke at one time. Just what is our anthropologist to think? One thing is evident. With this face paint, as with the Sioux's, the language barrier is definitely broken and the barrier of reason is shattered. We must be scientific. Should the anthropologist flee in terror? The only proper way to understand these interesting tribal mark- ings is to investigate the culture and, upon investigation, the enter- prising anthropologist would find that (to his surprise) the face paint was not intended to announce destruction, as in the Sioux, but actual- ly to attract others toward it — and that furthermore this attraction was not to be motivated by curiosity or incredulity. Being a man, our anthropologist might then flatter himself into thinking the purpose of this face paint was to be found in the ritual of love making — to attract men to the dance of love. But alas, his search must end in a crushing defeat for the male ego. For the many anthropologists before him have, to their own bitter disappointment, proven this not to be so. It has been shown that even though gaily painted houses attract people, painted people do not necessarily at- tract their own kind. This is clearly evident from the simple observa- tion that some of the heaviest users of paint seem to attract no fol- lowers, while some of those who use little or no paint have the look of the pursued. And even though there is keen competition, women do not paint for each other, nor, in fact, do they paint each other, it should be added. There remains only the question of religion and it is here that the anthropologist sees the first glimmer of meaning. In every wom- en's room there is an altar. In the center of this altar is a mirror cleverly used to serve the double purpose of worship and consultation. The ceremony may take place at any time. It begins with the solemn incantation, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" — and then quickly before the terrible answer can come, both hands dive into the bottles, jars and squeeze tubes of the rite. Great clouds of powder are sacrificed and when the air has cleared, the mirror ap- pears confused, if not a little smudged, and cannot give an honest answer, for the person who asked the question is no longer to be seen. A closer examination of the artifacts used in this rite is in order. The anthropologist can easily see that they are special Do-lt-Yourself kits whose number and variety are truly the wonder of mankind. They are sold proclaiming proud slogans like: GIVE IN TO YOUR DIVINE RESTLESSNESS! IMPROVE GOD'S HANDIWORK! And so, the rite of facial re-creation goes on to make and remake personalities to suit the mood, the weather, and even the pocketbook. The fact that beauty is only skin deep is now so much poor, outworn theology — for, if you never even see the skin — Well, then what? ******* If you wish to maintain the practice of refuting Bob's articles, send your manuscript to Box 83 by Friday. Other articles will also be welcomed. So far, the response has been "underwhelming." Camera Bugs! -Enter Crusader Pix Contest The Crusader is sponsoring a contest for all the campus pho- tographers and would be photog- raphers. Anyone is eligible to enter as long as he or she is a student or faculty member of Susquehanna University. There will be one general cate- gory, that of "S.U. Memories." Any photo that concerns the cam- pus or its residents will qualify and the winning shots will be pub- lished in the Crusader at a later date. The photographs must be at least 3x5 and, of the glossy vari- ety. Please mark on the back in light lead pencil "negative avail- able" if such is the case as it will be easier to print the picture from the negative. The winners will be announced in the pre-Christmas issue. Dead- line for the contest is Friday, De- cember 8. All pictures will be returned to owners and decision of the judges is final. If you have a snapshot, why not enter it. We're sure your friends would like to see their pictures in the paper.

The new initiates are: Lori Ann Bord- er, Lynda Boyer, Sarah Hannum, and Sue Houseworth. On the morning of their initiation the girls were awakened quite early to be taken on a ride and then to the Iron Skillet for breakfast. To make the day complete, the four new sisters were taken to the Dutch Pantry after their initia- tion ceremony. The Sisters wish to extend a most hearty welcome to the new initiates who will now also be wearing the greatly cher- ished quill of Alpha Xi Delta. On Tuesday evening, November 7, the Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta had the pleasure of entertaining Dean Steltz, who gave a talk to the Sisters concerning college life. A period of discussion followed. The Sisters also held a tea in honor of Dean Steltz, during which time the sisters sang a few so- rority songs. Best wishes are extended to Sister Karen Bond, who recently became pinned to Bob Walton, Phi Kappa Sigma. Best wishes are also extended to Sister Gail Troxel, '60, who re- cently became pinned to Herb Yingling, Theta Chi. PHI MU DELTA Congratulations to brother Wayne Minami, recently accepted at the University of Maryland Dental School. Socially, the brothers enjoyed a very delightful weekend. A Saturday post-game session brought many Mu Alpha's and dates from out of scholastic hi- bernation. Later, some of social chairman Chuck Bowen's farm- er friends were imposed upon to provide the brotherhood with me- chanical horse and wagon for a hay-ride. Still later, with the house turned cornfield for the oc- casion, the party was concluded with dancing and refreshments. Next week watch out for PMD's Western Party, complete with western saloon. The Crusader Basketball Team is getting off to what looks like another successful season. Broth- ers Clark Mosier, who was last year's leading scorer, Jack Gra- ham, Joe Billig, and Bill Lips are members of the team. The big brother-little brother combi- nation of head manager Glen Ho- stetter and assistant manager Rudy Van der Heil are handling the business aspect of the team. Due to an error on the part of the writer, Rolland Mari- onni and Dick Howe were left off the list of Lambda Chi's on S.U.'s football team. On the intramural front the Lambda Chi Alpha foot- ball team, sparked by signal call- er Sammy Williams, is continuing their winning streak (now 5-0). Their latest win was over Phi Epsilon Fraternity. Congratulations are extended by the brotherhood to Peggy Wal- ters who was recently pinned to Brother Fred Muller and to Car- olene Burns of Washington, D.C., who was pinned to Brother Kit Hedler.

Harris, Bowen Head SU Ski Club Venture There is a new venture on Sus- quehanna University's campus. Interested students, led by Chuck Bowen and George "Choppy" Harris, are formulating plans for a Ski Club, the purpose of which is the cultivation of an interest in skiing, as well as the instruction of the techniques of the sport. The club has acquired the use of the Highland Ski Area in Hughesville, Pa., and would be able to use the recreational fa- cilities on Wednesdays and the weekends, Fridays through Sun- days. Free lessons would be giv- en by those who have had previ- ous experience in skiing until enough season tickets for the tow have been purchased. Then an instructor would be employed at special rates. The approximate cost of this venture would be $4.00 per day and would include the rent of the skies, poles, boots and tow fare. There have been approximately one hundred and fifty students who have expressed an interest in joining the club, which is under the capable direction of Mr. Deans, an English professor on campus. A meeting will be held this week at which time plans will be discussed and officers elected. It is the hope of the for- mulators of the Ski Club that a large number of students will at- tend to indicate their interest in this fast growing sport.

GO CRUSADERS UNDEFEATED AND M.A.C. SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1961 Religion becomes revitalized in drama as the Lutheran Foundation presents a night of spiritual enlightenment. Shown above is a scene from one of the productions. Lutheran Foundation Dramas Seen In Campus Presentation The Lutheran Foundation for Religious Drama, a non-profit organ- ization attempting to restore drama in religious liturgy, presented four short plays in Benjamin Apple theatre Sunday evening. The troupe of professional play- ers seen at Susquehanna under- scored the Foundation's premise in their presentation of "Old Ymir's Clay Pot," "Joan and King Charlie," "Let Man Live," and "It Should Happen to a Dog." "Old Ymir's Clay Pot," a dra- matic allegory of the atonement, was written by Norman Dietz, executive director of the Founda- tion. This play, enacted as a bed- side story, depicted the miracle of forgiving love and the relation- ship of God and man. In the play Ymir. an unsuccessful potter, created a disobedient masterpiece in the form of a pot, which talked back to him. The potter vows to destroy the pot because it refuses to hold both the beauty and the refuse of the world, but a saving miracle rescued the pot from de- struction. The second play, "Joan and King Charlie," characterized Joan of Arc and her heroinic death for her country. Falling asleep at his prayers, Charles VII of France, dreamed of Joan of Arc and her return to earth as a Saint. The play was not a trag- edy, nor were Joan's murderers Ministerium Board Meets Pre Theo/s The Board of Christian Educa- tion of the Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania met with the Pre-Theological students and those other students interest- ed in full time Church work this afternoon on campus. The board is headed by the Rev. Earl F. Rahn, D.D., the executive secre- tary. The board meets with these students once each semester to determine the standing of the stu- dents both scholas'lcally and so- cially on campus. The board also strives to answer all questions of the students which may arise dur- ing the semester. These ques- tions concerning the problems of a Pre-Theological student in his (Continued on Page 3) viewed as scoundrels. Although spiritual in its goals, this play was far from solemn. "Let Man Live," written by Par Lagerkvist, was paralleled to the struggle of modern man against the crimes of the world. The actors and actresses slipped in and out of several roles in this play, and each unfolded a crime which he had committed. But the criminals were not to be de- nounced for their crimes were no worse than the evil doings of the people who had condemned them. The play brought to mind that only God is free of sin. Wolf Mankowitz's "It Should Happen to a Dog" was a portray- al of the well-known biblical story of Jonah and the whale. The play remained faithful to the original story, but all solemnity was ex- tracted from it. The mood of the play developed humor, and Jon- ah's attempt to escape God's voice became almost hilariously funny. The comedy in Jonah's mishaps did not completely re- move the spiritual tone for his role depicted man's ineffective- ness in fleeing from the presence of God. Pi Gamma Mu Hears Ebersole, Jeffries The Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu held its first monthly meeting at the home of Dr. William A. Russ on October 12. The speaker for the evening was Mr. Mark Eber- sole, Dean of the Liberal Arts College at Bucknell University, who spoke on his new book, The Christian Faith and Man's Reli- gion. The group discussed the re- lationship of the Christian faith to religion in light of writing by Erich Fromm, Dietrich Bonhoffer, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Karl Barth. and Reinhold Niebuhr. The second monthly meeting was held at the home of Dr. Otto Reimherr in Middleburg, Pa., on November 9. Dr. William Jef- ( Continued on Page 3) SU Girls Initiate Discussion Groups World understanding — nation- al and international — "Big broth- er attitude," Peace Corps, the "Ugly American" — these were some of the words and terms which were used by girls of Sus- quehanna's campus who have found an opportunity to express themselves and share ideas about current events through informal discussion periods — bull sessions in the Day Students' Room of Hassinger Hall. Girls from Sei- bert and interested upperclass- men from the North Dorm also joined in this attempt to intellec- tually exchange thoughts, prob- lems, and questions, Friday, No- vember 3 and 10, at 9:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 8, the girls from Hassinger held one of these planned, but informal bull-ses- sions. The purpose of these periods is to discuss current events, ab- stract ideas, quotes not under- stood, and material read or heard. This is not a club, organization, or association, but is open to any women students who see the need and have the desire to improve their intellectual inquiry. Current events bulletin boards consisting of ideas, suggestions, questions, and problems — na- tional, international, and personal — whether being clipped from the New York TIMES or the SAT- URDAY REVIEW, or expressed from the thoughts of a student have been placed in Hassinger at the request of the students. Some of these problems, ideas, current events, and questions may form the basis for a Friday night bull- session. They may stimulate thought — not necessarily only discussion. The ability to express oneself on this board, to stimulate thought, and possibly discussion are the most important objectives of the bulletin board. An aware- ness of events, national and inter- national, is also a main purpose for this type of bulletin board. The most important way of pro- moting the bull sessions is by the enthusiasm of the students who wish to tell other students who may be interested in delving into the unexplored realms of their minds, to hear what others have to contribute, and to expand their knowledge of current events and ideas. Those who wish to come to the discussion are given the name of the topic to be discussed. The girls desired this so that they could contribute more intelligent- ly toward the discussion. A mod- erator is used to guide the discus- sion so that only one persons speaks at a time. Almost every- one has an opportunity to express himself and share the ideas of what he thinks or has read. It is hoped by the initiators of this group that other small dis- cussion groups and bull-sessions will spring up on campus. Many students see the need for a de- bating team, international groups, and other ways in which students can make the best use of the cul- tural and intellectual life which may be available in an academic community. Lois Binnie is one of several students who will appear in the stu- dent music recital tomorrow night. She is seen practicing in the Wom- en's New Dorm lounge for this event. SU Music Department Offers Student Recital On Thursday The Music Department of Susquehanna University is extending an invitation to the entire campus to attend a student recital to be held Thursday, November 16, in Seibert Chapel at 8:15 p.m. This program of music will open with "Prelude and Fugue in c minor" by J. S. Bach played on the organ by Lloyd Wolf, a stu- dent of Mr. Weikel. The program will next present Nancylee Dunster, soprano, a stu- dent of Mrs. Alterman. Accom- panied by Judy Blee, Miss Dun- ster will present "Se Florindo e fedele" by Scarlatti, "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" by Quilter, and "0 mio babbino caro" from Gianni Schicchi by Puccini. Two works by Chopin, "Noc- turne in c* minor, op. 27, #1" and "Impromptu in Ab minor, op. 2" will be played on the piano by Lois Binnie, a student of Mr. Bill- man. "Danza, danza fanciulla" by Durante, "Deborah" by Gene Bone and Howard Fenton, and "Mi chiamano Mimi," from La Boheme by Puccini will be pre- sented by Bonita Schaffer, so- prano, a student of Mrs. Alter- man. Jean Ewald, pianist, will accompany her. Under the direction of Mr. Rus- sell Hatz, the Susquehanna String Ensemble will play "Pavanne" and "Pieds-en-1'air" from a Suite for String Ensemble by Warlock. The ensemble will then present the "Spirit of the Eighteenth Cen- tury" i to Fritz Kreisler) by Po- chon, and "The Mill," (from String Quartet, op. 12, No. 2) by Raff-Poehon. Members of the En- semble are Sandra Swab, Emily Partridge.Thomas Donlan, and Dr. Virginia Payne, violinist; Jean Price and Carolyn Moyer, violists; and Shirley Foehl, cell- ist. Dr. Payne, a student of Mr. Hatz, is a neurologist at the Sel- insgrove State School. Crusaders Roll Over Hobart 35-6; Kerstetter Gets Three by Joe Joyce Last weekend a football team from New York visited the Susque- hanna campus, and after sixty minutes of play they realized why Pennsylvania football is said to be the toughest in the country. Hobart College was the team from New York, and after Butch DiFrancesco, the K-boys. and the remainder of the Crusader squad finished hitting, Coach Garrett's men had win number seven un- der their belts by virtue of a 35-6 score. The Orange and Maroon got started with a bang after George Campbell fell on a free kick on his own 4fi yard line. In seven plays the Crusaders moved to the Hobart 27 from where quarter- back Don Green rolled to his loft, and behind a great block by Mike Rupprecht, moved to the six yard line. On the next play fullback Larry Kerstetter busted over left tackle to score. Tom Samuel booted the PAT, and before the Statesmen from Hobart knew what happened they were losing 7-0. The second SU. score came late in the first quarter. Halfback Terry Kissinger boomed a punt to the Hobart 30 yard line where Dave Martin fumbled, and the ball was recovered on the 30 by DiFraneeseo. Kerstetter and Kissinger took turns cracking the Statesmen line until Kerstetter finally scored his second six-pointer from three yards out. Samuel's place kick was good. Early in the second period Ho- bart was forced to punt from their own territory. With the ball rolling around on the Crusader 25. the Statesmen swarming in on him, halfback John Luscko scoop- ed the pigskin up and went 43 yards before being brought down.

"Don't worry. Everyone marks down at 'Mids'. It'll come up." Sound familiar? Yes, once again grades have been distributed and cries of anguish and joy fill the campus. With so much discussion about grades and the stress placed on marks perhaps it would be well to take a second look at the system. Is a grade a valid indication of learning? Whether the answer given is yes or no it certainly must be qualified in some respects. Is the question of a grading system a valid one? Without a doubt it is one of the most vital questions a college student faces since his academic success depends on grades. There are many things wrong with grades and the grading system. How can a professor say the 89 student is worth only a B+ while the 90 students gets an A—. In a three credit course the difference between these letter grades will be 3 quality points while the single numerical point may only be a careless misspelling. Not only are the grades bad but the manner of arriving at their value may be equally unfair. An essay test allows for subjective marking and also permits the student with good English ability to get a grade by "saying nothing, well." Perhaps even more unfair are short answer tests and the notorious true-false tests. In the former, it is a matter of selecting the right material to study for it is humanly impossible to know every detail in 15 chapters of any course. The true-false test is the worst of all since it seems the more one studies, the greater his possible con- fusion on any one question. With such unfair testing methods as these, how can grades be a valid measure of anything'.' Grades test how any one student ranks with any other student on a given day. They do not necessarily test which student is better, has a greater understanding or is more in- telligent because of such variables as: methods of study, fraternity files, personal feelings, and type of test given. The logical question that must follow from the above discussion is: "If not grades — what?" Here there is no real answer. If there is to be no real level of achievement 'only pass or fail) then the average college student will do only enough to "get by." The professor needs some measure to determine who is working and how well he is under- stood. Imperfect as they are. it seems grades are here to stay. The process continues: "What do you think he'll ask 9 " "He faked us out last time, we'd better study chapters, not trends.' "This sounds like a good one — True or False ..." And on into the small hours of the morning the cram session continues as students strive for an A. B or C. The grading system, with all its admitted flaws, is here to stay. LB. My Neighbors My Neighbors nTnivnkiK/iiKin terra? TbTr/E EPiTOfc Dear Editors, Aroused by the letter from the STUDENTS AGAINST INTEL- LECTUAL MYOPIA some of us cheered the motives of this letter. We feel that Susquehanna Uni- versity students can and should take decisive action to improve our intellectual growth. Students are and should be the future and present leaders of this complex world. What kind of leaders can we be if we don't improve our intellectual inquiry? "How can we S.U. students take decisive action to improve our in- tellectual growth?" We can do this by promoting student interest in discussion of a higher level in the lounge and between classes; by having planned bull sessions such as we in Hassinger have; by sharing experiences with the many students on campus who have traveled abroad; by having a current events corner in the library: by participating in inter- collegiate activities, debating teams, and international clubs; and by having more lectures and cultural events and taking ad- vantage of them when they are scheduled. We believe that some of these suggestions could and should be followed. We should have a de- bating team which is respected and admired as much as our ath- letic teams are. We have had and should have more lectures and cultural events. We may even want to include more rad- ical speakers to stimulate our thought, for or against their ideas. In fact, all of these sug- gestions could be followed if so many of our students didn't have an attitude of indifference. Are we as a student body willing to respond to a plea to wipe out this indifference? STUDENTS THIRSTING FOR MORE INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION 'Turkey again"! "You wash— and I'll wipe.' Dear Pip — *!*! I'm sure you can tell by the manner in which I have address- ed you, that I am Very Much Dis- pleased with you! For the past ten years I have been trying to train you to be a proper cat! It is true that you are often stub- born and do not take my excellent advice at all times, but I have forgiven you for these defections because of your youth. I remem- ber the way you refused to crawl through the grass on your stom- ach to catch a mouse. In fact, you have shown the least interest in mice of any cat or part-cat that I have ever known. Well, every cat to his own taste, I al- ways say. Perhaps rats are more to your liking! But this last deed of infamy! If I did not feel that the only hope of the human race lay in the conversion of certain select people to the philosophy of the cat, I would certainly lick my paws of you! It all started this way. One day I was lying on the table in your room preparing to take my morning siesta, when my eye fell on the words The Crusad- er on the newspaper where I was. I moved over slightly and discov- ered that it was the paper from your college. "Aha," I thought, "I will read this to find out what Pip is doing these days, since she doesn't deign to send me a billet- doux." It was then that I glimped Miss Carole Snook, representative of the Northumberland Junior Chamber of Commerce for the national Jr. Miss title, presents a pan- tomime during Theta Chi's fashion show last week. the letter — the private personal letter I had written you — print- ed in a public place! Well, my blood pressure jumped to a new high, my tail swelled out in anger to six times its usual size, and I emitted a growl so horrendous that Geoffrey — asleep on your bed — let out a yip of terror. I understand that one of the re- quirements for entering college is a modicum of common sense. Woman, you had better return home at once and let me scratch that modicum back into you! If you were going to a female college, I would not mind this quite so much. But I have been trying to instruct you in the ways of men — based on my own ex perience, of course! Since you do not have me there to protect you, I feel you should have thumb-claw sketches of the various types you may meet complete with the tried and true methods of dealing with them. I do not mind if other little tabbies benefit from my wisdom, but you must not let my secrets become known to any but the fe- male sex. If male creatures find out what women know about them, they will become more un- bearable than they already are. And women will lose their power. Remember the paw that cuffs the kitten rules the world. A good cat is Inscrutable! This means she keeps her knowledge to herself, so clam up, dearie. Tabby College Memories Susquehanna Style Each college campus in the na- tion has its own customs and tra- ditions. There are certain stories and memories that are passed down annually from class to class. In many cases progress obliter- ates these time-worn customs and new classes know little if any- thing of their previous existence. In looking back over S.U.'s cam- pus for four years these are some of the memories most in many minds. Perhaps the Frosh would do well to ask some "creaky" old Senior about the days gone by. Do You Remember: The Snack Bar before automa- tion set in? A cup of coffee serv- ed with a smile, not the metallic clunk as the mechanized monster gulps down your dime. The Music Conservatory when it stood near the site of the pres- ent library and the night of book moving into the new library. When Selinsgrove Hall was di- vided north and south by a center partition. The* rooms in that building and the "steam bath" in the basement. A daily chapel service held be- tween the eight and nine o'clock classes complete with segrega- tion. A center line that divided guys and gals into two little groups.

Wilkes vs. S.U. Nov. 18 Past Performance— Wilkes lost their first five ball games of the season, and then bounced back last week to defeat Haverford 28-6. Speed— This club is not exceptionally fast. The quickest man in the backfield will be #20 halfback Capitan. Weight— The Wilkes line is very big and strong, the average weight being about 205 lbs. Their backfield will average about 172. Offense— They use the straight "T" formation 90% of the time. More than likely they will stick to this, and will not use an unbalanced line, a slot formation, any wide flankers, or a man in motion. Most of their running success in the last game was due to the belly series. Defense— Their defensive play is much better than their offensive play. On short yardage situations they will tighten up their defense; they will also bring up their safety man to a position about four yds. off the ball, right in back of the offensive center. The secon- dary is very run conscious and they come up very fast; they can be passed against. Special— The left halfback was the regular quarterback, and can throw very well off the option play. The right tackle Gavel #77 is 225 and very tough, as is the left tackle #75 Cherundolo who is 220 lbs. #27, Travis-Bey, who plays halfback is the biggest threat in the backfield. #62 right guard Mohn is the toughest lineman. Attitude— The Garrettmen want this one real bad; not only will a win make them MAC champions, but it will also mean they have finish- ed the season undefeated. REMEMBER— The game is being played on the Selisngrove High School field, starting at 8:00. Nocturns"Rock"SU Campus With Music Never before has Susquehanna University's campus rocked *n rolled as it did on Saturday after- noon, November 11th, in G.A. Lounge. The swinging music of the "Nocturns" offered some live- ly post-football entertainment to warm the half-frozen sports en- thusiasts. G.A. Lounge was crowded to almost capacity from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with "flying, stomping, and twisting" students. Never once was there a dull moment. This was the first all-campus activity sponsored by the Student Council this year. It was appar- ent by the number of students who attended the session that there is a need for more activities of this type on the campus. The Council hopes to employ another rock 'n roll band later in the year. Plans to hire the Maynard Furgeson orchestra are presently nearing completion. It is the hope of the Council that when this spring event becomes a reality, it will be well supported by the school. Crusaders Roll (Continued from Page 1) A pass from Green to Hauser carried to the Hobart 23 and two plays later the other K-boy, Terry Kissinger, scored from the two yard line. Samuel's kick made it 21-0 at halftime. The second half saw a great deal of aggressive football being played and numerous scuffles breaking out on the field. Susque- hanna had two men ejected from the game, and Hobart lost one man because of rule infractions. With five minutes to go in the third period Larry Kerstetter, with two Statesmen hanging on his back, fought his way into the end zone for his third touchdown of the day. Tom Samuel split the uprights, but the scoring wasn't over yet. Six minutes had gone in the final quarter when speedster Lar- ry Erdman brought the crowd to its feet as he took a punt on his own 25 yard line and raced 75 yards into the promised land aft- er John Luscko sprung him loose with a block. Samuel's conver- sion made it 35-0. Not to be shut out Hobart scored with three minutes remaining when fullback Ken Nye scored from the one. EXTRA POINTS-This was Ho- bart s seventh loss this season, and they have yet to win. — "The Toe" Samuel had a perfect day making good on five of five at- tempts. — Guard George Camp- bell looked great on defense, as did freshman guard Richie Ca- ruso. — Larry Kerstetter and John Luscko both have now rack- ed up over 1,000 yards in their college career. — The Crusaders must have set some kind of re- cord in this game; they were pe- nalized a total of 165 yds., most of them coming for unnecessary roughness. — Watch Ben DiFran- cesco this week against Wilkes; "No. 60 will be playing his last game, and you can bet that it will be a great one." — Two oth- er Crusaders, 6-1, 190 lb. end Ken Hauser from Rivervale, N.J., and SU Jayvees Defeat Lock Haven St. 24-6 Susquehanna's junior varsity won their first game of the season when they dumped Lock Haven State College jayvees on a muddy field 24-6. The Crusaders scored all of their points in the firs,t half, six- teen of them coming in the first quarter, to win the first junior varsity football game in the his- tory of the school. The Orange and Maroon started fast and scored in the early min- utes of play when halfback Chuck Ashburn busted over from the two yard stripe. Halfback Larry Erd- man then scored on a two-point conversion play. Late in the first period fresh- man end Jib Gibney took a pass from quarterback Sam Metzger and galloped 58 yards to score. Erdman again tacked on the two- point conversion with a run. Freshman sensation Larry Erd- man surprised the home team in the second period when he scoot- ed 79 yards to score the final Cru- sader touchdown. The third two point attempt was good when quarterback Jerry Egger scored on a run, and at intermission it was S.U.— 24, Lock Haven— 0. The only score in the second half came when Lock Haven half- back, Fertile, hit paydirt from the one yard line. Statistics S.U. L.H.

He then proceeded to explode the myth that epilepsy is a "disgraceful" disease and that sufferers from it are inevitably bound for state in- stitutions by explaining that epi- lepsy can be controlled in eighty per cent of the cases and that epi- leptics under treatment can take their rightful place in the com- munity as useful citizens.

SPORT TAL by JOE JOYCE Another first came about in the Susquehanna sports field when the charges of Coach James Garrett were ranked number eight in the balloting for the Lambert Cup last week. The week before the Cru- saders were ranked number nine. The trophy is emblematic of the top small college football team in the East, and last year it was won by neighboring Bucknell University. * * * * * * A high school which is located about thirty miles from here -— Mount Carmel — has been contributing quite a bit of athletic material to the University as of late. Coach Bob Pitello who is currently in his eleventh year at Sus- quehanna is a product of Mt. Carmel, as is Little All-American can- didate Butch DiFrancesco. Frosh halfback Len Guarna also hails from Mt. Carmel. Next football season will also see two more high school standouts battling for a spot on the Susquehanna eleven. Jim Darrup, who was an All-State halfback at Mt. Carmel in 1959, and later spent two years at North Carolina State, is now attending S.U. and is sure to push someone for a halfback spot come next fall. Dave Revak, who was an outstanding guard at the "coal region" school, and then started on the Freshman team at Cornell, may well be a valuable lineman for the Orange and Maroon in '62. The reason that these boys aren't playing this year is because of an NCAA ruling which forces transfer students to sit out a year. Incidentally, one of their high school teammates, quarterback Jim Bierschmitt, now attending the United States Military Academy, was named the Oustanding Sophomore in the East two weeks ago for his performance as the Black Knights hammered Detroit 34-7. Sam Williams, winningest pitcher on the Crusader baseball squad last spring, also makes his home — occasionally — in Mt. Carmel. * * * * • * The Susquehanna football team also made the news last week in Philadelphia. Earlier this season one of the speakers af the weekly meeting of the Sports Writers Club, apparently made the statement that Susquehanna is nothing more than a football team surrounded by a college. Last week Clyde Spitzner, who is an executive at WFIL-TV and chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at Susquehanna, explained that the sudden rise of S.U. as a football power, is due not only to the emphasis being placed on sports, but to the expansion of the college as a whole. Spitzner explained that since Dr. Gustave W. Weber became pres- ident three years ago, Susquehanna's enrollment has increased from 390 students to 810, and that this means more boys are coming out for football. Spitzner said Dr. Weber didn't want Susquehanna "to be mediocre in anything," and that the football success merely reflected efforts to improve every phase of the university. He also praised Coach Garrett for the fine job he has done in turn- ing out great teams in his first two years at the school. * * * if * * Watch for the feature on the 1961-62 edition of Susquehanna's basketball team which will appear in next week's Crusader.

ALPHA XI DELTA Congratulations are in order for President Joyce Lundy, who was recently selected to be "Miss Alpha Xi Delta," for the year 1961-62. She was awarded a tro- phy, which rotates each year to the sister chosen by the chapter to represent Miss Alpha Xi Delta. Congratulations are also in or- der for Vice-President Lois Mas- ter, who was chosen to be Alpha Xi Delta's "Wheel of the Year". Each year the chapter selects a senior who they feel has contrib- uted most to the sorority. Her name then appears on Alpha Xi Delta's Wheel. The Sisters wish to congratu- late Sister Sarah Hannum, whose essay, "What Alpha Xi Delta Means to Me," was chosen to be the best essay written by the former pledge class. In a recent letter from Nation- al, it was reported that Gamma Kappa Chapter was one of nine chapters to have a record of not one account owing by any mem- ber at the end of any month for the entire year of 1960-61. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA There was rock and roll music and laughter radiating from the Lambda Chi house last Saturday night as the brothers and their dates enjoyed an informal party with music provided by the Noc- tures. Everyone enjoyed them- selves and are looking forward to more parties in the future. One event already on the draw- ing boards is the annual party for underprivileged children in the area, sponsored by the broth- ers of Lambda Chi and the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi at Christmas time. The brothers are in the process of collecting toys to be given away at the party. Three new names have been added to the list of those wearing the Crescent. Judy Rothermel has become pinned to brother Fred Hauser, Maurine Curly was pinned to brother Gene Mowrer, and Terry Kissinger has given his pin to Judy Bensinger, who is in nurses' training at Williamsport Hospital. PHI EPSILON On Saturday night the Phi Ep- silon house was transformed into an outdoor scene as the brothers held their fall Harvest Party. The occasion was complete with tra- ditional corn shocks, pumpkins, and a scarecrow which guarded the favors of the brothers' dates. Thanks to Tony Columbet, the so- cial chairman, and brothers Brian Bolig, John Eggert, and Jack Black for the fine job they did in planning and decorating for the affair. The Phi Eps are hard at work practicing new songs under the direction of song leader Jim San- dahl, for the fraternity serenade to be held sometime this month. Belated congratulations to Brother Walt Shirk on his engage- ment to Andrea Chatlas of Indi- ana State College. KAPPA DELTA White Rose Week came to its proper climax last Thursday eve- ning when Bobbie Claffee and Ruthie Almond were received into Kappa Delta's circle of friend- ship. Throughout the week fol- lowing second degree, these two girls were entertained by such methods as breakfast in bed, treats in the Snack Bar. and vari- ous other activities. They espe- cially enjoyed Turn-About Day, when they had their Big Sisters, President Judy Arnold and Sister Grace Johnson wearing their KD dinks. Thursday morning Bobbie and Ruthie were awakened at 6:30 by the Sisterhood and were marched to the baseball field, where they did exercises and cheers. Sister Mary James acted as the "tor- mentor". At breakfast the two pledges were told they would be initiated that evening. After the ceremony Thursday evening the entire Sisterhood went to the Snack Bar to celebrate and con- gratulate new Sisters Bobbie and Ruthie. The Kappa Delts hope that ev- eryone in attendance enjoyed the 19-22 23-27 What's The Weather? The Crusader Almanac For the benefit of all new stu- dents, whether Freshmen or Transfer, and for all new profes- sors at Susquehanna The Crusad- er presents its own "Almanac" of the weather. Due to many conver- sations heard on campus concern- ing the "odd" weather at S.U. the co-editors felt that a preview of what the next few months will bring might be in order. November: 15-18 Cold and blustery; average temperature 10 (it may seem colder if you have an 8 o'clock). Cold with snow probably on the 22nd to complicate Thanksgiving vacation. Clear and warm — Natu- rally there won't be any- one here. 28-2nd Return to cold and windy. Occasional snow flurries (probably every day) mix- ed with about anything you can imagine. December: 3-10 Clear and Cold. This is just the calm before the storm. First real snowfall of about eight feet. Should accumu- late on top of the three feet of occasional flurries that have already fallen. Clear and warm until mid- night on the 21st.

This recreation- al get-together in the form of a talent night is one of the five ral- lies sponsored jointly by the leagues in the Berwick, Blooms- burg, Mt. Carmel, Sunbury, and Selinsgrove areas. In previous years the Recreational Commit- tee, one of the committees under the Luther League's five point program, had a square dance as their rally project. The talent program consisted of acts representing the various leagues in the conference. The variety show included panels, pantomimes, singing groups, and skits. The special guest for the evening was the Laurelton Choir from the Laurelton State Village. The Luther League of Trinity Lu- theran Church in Selinsgrove was the host league and provided guides and refreshments for the young people and visitors who attended. IheOldivnwt, Instrumental Care, Repair Clinic Held The University Division of Mus- ic presented an instrumental care and repair clinic on Thursday evening, Nov. 9, in Heilman Re- hearsal Hall. Mr. James B. Stef- fy, Director of the University Bands, was host to Mr. George Wagner of Keyboard Studios, York, Pa. Mr. Wagner, consider- ed an expert in his field, demon- strated and lectured on the high- ly specialized art of instrumental repair and care. Twenty-six in- strumental music teachers from this area were in attendance as well as Music Division faculty and undergraduates. Mr. Steffy is to be credited for this unusual but inestimably useful project. 18-22 College Memories (Continued from Page 2) The crowds that use to gather each Sunday evening to view the "Maverick" television show.

The attendance, much larger than the previous year, showed campus interest in this event. A vote of thanks is in order for co-chairmen, Don Bowes and Dave Hackenberg, as well as M.C., Tom Casey, and the "Purple Knights." All the fash- ions seen in the show were sup- plied by M. Gubin and Sons of Northumberland. That cup of hot chocolate sure tested good to the brave souls who ventured forth on Theta Chis real "cool" hayride last Satur- day. Dancing and refreshments topped off the evening as the brothers enjoyed the second party of the year. The Theta Potato Band made its next to last appearance of the year last Friday and got its usual fine reception from the dorms. Men!-Slave Day Is Coming, December 2 Men! Do you have a female slave?

Crusaders Down Wilkes 21-8 To Finish Season Undefeated by Al Thomas SELINSGROVE, Nov. 17 — Susquehanna University's highly touted football machine roiled over Wilkes College in the final game of the season for both teams here Saturday night before 1,500 frozen fans. The win clinched first place in the Northern College Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference for the Jim Garrett coached Crusaders who finished the season with an enviable 8-0-1 record. Wilkes was never really in the game, as was expected. A young team, The Colonels started an all freshman backfield against a vet- eran Crusader eleven. Three of the more durable vet- erans, Little All American can- didate and team captain Ben Di- Francesco, a guard from Atlas; tackle Dick Rohland; and end Ken Hauser were playing their final game for Susquehanna. Led by sophomore quarterback Don Green, the Crusader offense rolled up 342 yards of total of- fense, 229 on the ground. Half- back John Luscko picked up 110 yards, a goood night's work any- time, but Terry Kissinger, a soph- omore halfback, and Larry Erd- man, another halfback, just a freshman, provided the Orange and Maroon with a pair of and a single touchdown, respectively. No one scored until the second quarter when Kissinger culminat- ed a drive that began late in the first period on the Susquehanna 20 yard line, by knifing through the Wilkes line and secondary on a 19 yard scoring play. Tom Samuel booted the first of three conversions, leaving a string of eleven straight conversions to add to next fall. After Wilkes was unable to move . the ball in two series of downs. Larry Erdman electrified the crowd with one of the better displays of broken-field running seen here this year. Erdman took a Wilkes punt on his own 48 yard line, and dashed first to his right across the field, then down the sideline for the score. Sam- uel converted to make the score 14-0, Susquehanna at half time. Luscko returned the second half kickoff 32 yards to the Sus- quehanna 37 yard line. After four first downs in a row, the drive stalled on the Wilkes 40, due mainly to a clipping infraction. But Wilkes' fullback Wallace fumbled on third down and an un- identified Crusader found the ball on the bottom of the pile. The third quarter continued in see- saw fashion, and it was not until midway in the final period that anyone could score again. And once again it was Kissing- er who scored, this time on a 13 yard quarterback option rollout.

Yes, that time of the year has come again and Mr. Turkey rules as king. For most of us Thanksgiving represents a well-deserved rest and the big dinner with the family. Yet, in the light of past history, is this what Thanksgiving should mean to us? Is the prime purpose of this day being thankful for what we have; or, should we give thanks for what we are? The first Thanksgiving, held in Plymouth Bay colony, centered around a single theme. It was based on thanks for survival and little else. When Governor Bradford ordered that first day of thanks in 1621, he did so because he was glad to be alive. Actually the earliest celebrations originated with the Indians. The Great Feather Dance of the Iroquois expressed thanks to the Great Spirit for the corn harvest and continual blessings of health, sun and rain. The first official statement concerning the celebration of Thanks- giving was given on November 26, 1789, by President George Wash- ington. It was not until 1864 that the day became an annual observ- ance. In that year President Lincoln proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as a day of thanksgiving in the United States. What then is Thanksgiving? First, it is a universal day. It is a time when all people can acknowledge the gifts and blessings that them what they are. It is a day when race, color, or creed mean nothing for around the universal table of plenty all are welcome. Secondly, Thanksgiving is a day of tradition. Not the tradition of football rivalries, cranberries and turkey; but a tradition of work. It is a time to remember the work and labor that has gone into making this nation great. At Thanksgiving we should remember those name- less thousands who have shed their sweat and blood for America. Finally, Thanksgiving is a day of history. It is a history of cour- age in time of trial. A history of struggle to overcome seemingly in- surmountable objects and the resulting successes and failures. The founding gathers incorporated the words, "life, liberty, and the pur- suit of happiness" into the Declaration of Independence. The quest for these three is no easy task. Perhaps we, like the Congress of the Revolution, should see thanksgiving as a day of thanks for courage, strength, and a continued purpose. Yes, Thanksgiving represents these three: the universal, the tra- ditional, and the historical, as well as much more. It is a day in which we must reaffirm our faith in the challenge of the future by looking gratefully to the past. It signifies an occasion to give thanks to God for what we are and where we came from. It is a day to ask for His continued help in our struggle with history. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, "Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life," LB Registration Schedule Registration Procedures for sec- ond semester 1961-1962 — Novem- ber 10, 1961. 1.

I enjoy going swimming with my friends to the stream. While re- turning to the orphanage we catch cicadas, dragon-flies, and crickets in the fields. A new mistress entered our orphanage recently. She looks like kinder than the former mis- tress. She teaches us nice songs and tells very exciting tales. Now we are busy making a road. Owing to often rains the road was destroyed many times. In our orphanage we are raising a cow. Our Superintendent has bought it for me to raise well. This is all for today. I will write again next month. Please take good care of yourselves, my dear parents. Yours affectionately. Kim Hae Choi Dear Editors, "Do you remember the night McLaughlin . . ." Yes the familiar cry rings out once again as the seniors age and think of days that are no more. The sounds of voices, be they in a frat house room, around a snack bar table, or rendered inaudible by a mouth stuffed full of pizza, all seem to echo that old familiar strain— "Do you remember". Once upon a time, Susquehanna University had a snack bar and not a room filled with IBM-type monsters. There was a time when the cups didn't leak be- cause they were made as cups should be made — of glass. There was a time when people actually wanted to go to the snack bar. Nine-thirty P.M. was the hour of gathering. A late arrival was in dire straits indeed. The screen door that admitted one to the "inner sanctum'' was invariably incapable of being opened for the simple fact that a guy the size of Roundy Kahn was not to be push- ed out of the way too easily. If by chance you reached your des- tination, what was waiting for you. Life in the snack bar was dan- gerous at tinies. On many a warm spring night people could be seen resuming their former seats in quite a drenched condition. (And they had to go and put up that "fence"!) Speaking of seats — and who didn't — a chair to your- John Pignatore, Walt Fox and Phil Pemberton are seen rehearsing for "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" to open November 29. The curtain will rise at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 29, in the Benjamin Apple Theater as the Susquehanna University Players proudly present their first production of the year, "Abe Lincoln In Illinois." A Pulitzer Prize winner by Robert E. Sherwood, the play covers a period of about twenty years of Lincoln's eventful life, drama- tizing several episodes. Of these, included in the presentation, are the dramatization of the Ann Rutledge myth, the courtship of Mary Todd, the election campaign, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and Lincoln leav- ing Illinois for Washington and the inauguration. The play, under the capable di- rection of Dr. Bruce Nary, is be- ing presented here at Susquehan- na in commemoration of the Civil War Centennial being car- ried on throughout the nation. Dr. Nary, in his capacity as a Pro- fessor of English, has directed the SU Players since his arrival on campus two years ago. Through his efforts, drama at SU has been promoted considerably, and will undoubtedly continue to develop and improve under his careful guidance. Lights began to burn late in the Little Theater when rehearsals were initiated on October 16. A great deal of time and effort has been put forth by innumerable persons to bring this unforgettable presentation to the appreciative, theater-going public at Susque- hanna and the surrounding com- munity. Featured in major roles are Walt Fox as Abe Lincoln, Dick Rohland as Mentor Graham, Lynn Vekassy as Ann Rutledge, John Pignatore as Ninian Ed- wards, Bob Richards as Joshua Speed, and Gay Bouchard as Mary Todd. Other members of the cast include: Meredyth Ew- ing, Joe Perfilio, Harry Strine, Fred Dunkelberger, Linford Over- holt, Robert Squires, Gerald Waxman, Robert Breitweiser, Pa- tricia Taylor, Alan Bachrach, Judy Jantzer, Mary Bagenstose, Mary Jablonski, Jay Snyder, James Parks, Joan Dechert, Blaze Zampetti, James Norton, Robert Brenner, William Andes, Philip Pemberton, and James Campbell. Gerald Waxman is the business manager, while Barbara Lovell and Lois Wagner are in charge of costumes and props respectively. Four performances will be giv- en from November 29 through De- cember 2 inclusive. Everyone should see "Abe Lincoln In Illi- nois!" self tyas dependent upon many things: sheer physical strength; feminine seductiveness; early ar- rival, or just plain luck. More often than not — you stood, and enjoyed every fragrant breath of the ever-present smoke. The sororities sang there; Doc Boyer collected a buck apiece there: Mick — well, what didn't he do there. Dates were made, lovers quarrels erupted, profs were "brownied" (Thank God, they still remain), tests were studied for, jokes were tolerated, and seniors — even then — re- membered "the good old days". Remember the night someone said, "This is the way iced tea ought' taste!" Or "Come on, we need a fourth!" Or "Where's the table? All I see is 15 coffee cups, three ash trays (filled to overflowing) and a half eaten hamburger." "Is this chair tak- en?" — "Where's my coat?" — "I wish the Imperial would have skidded over the bank in front of Seibert." "Watch the expres- sion on this one when she sees the sign!" Be prepared to stay awhile as he leans back in the snack bar chair, takes another sip of coffee and says: "I remember the night when . . ." Fondly, Charlie Richard C. Cox Speaks To Business Society Real Estate and its importance to college graduates was empha- sized by Mr. Richard C. Cox at the November meeting of the Business Society. In addition to talking about various principles of Real Estate, Mr. Cox mentioned the amazing case of Peter E. Armstrong and Almighty God. Armstrong lived a communal life with his group of Seventh Day Adventists on a tract of land called "Celestial" between Eagles Mere and La- Porte, Pennsylvania. Feeling that this land should not be the prop- erty of man, he felt it was neces- sary to deed this tract back to its Creator. This legal deed was properly recorded and to this day is still in effect. With the passing of Mr. Armstrong, the duty of paying the taxes was passed on to his descendants. Mr. Cox men- tioned the legal aspects of this contract and pointed out the fact that this tract of land is still in- accessible to any human being. Plans for the December Busi- ness Society meeting will be bas- ed on the desires of the members from results of the questionnaire to be distributed shortly. Susquehanna Hoopsters Look To Temple Opener, Dec. 1 by Fred Fisher Susquehanna University's basketball Crusaders, 1961-62 version, is nearing the completion of its pre-season tune-up as it prepares to meet the Owls of Temple University in Philadelphia, December 1. The team is out to equal or better last year's won-lost percentage of 17-6. Ac- cording to head coach John Barr the team has great potentiality and has every chance in the world of being one of the finest teams ever to be assembled on the hardwood at S.U. "This team has great poten- tial," stated Barr at a recent practice in the S.U. gym. "We have good size and there isn't a man on the squad who isn't a good shot. Although we're not physically in the shape we were last year at this time, many of the other coaches are having the same problem with their teams. They can't work into shape." If size alone were to determine a winner, S.U. would not lose a game this year. The smallest man on the starting five will be 6-2 Clark Mosier, sensational Junior from Dallas, Pa., last year's top scorer with a 21.1 points-per-game average. Tom McCarrick, 6-8 sophomore tops the ladder as the tallest man on the team. Ranging between Mo- sier and McCarrick are Bill Moore 6-5, Jim Gallagher, 6-5, and Clark Schenk at 6-3. Joe Billig, 6-2 Sophomore, will prob- ably alternate at the starting po- sition with Schenk. With no seniors on the squad, the future looks bright for S.U. hoopsters for quite a while. The reserves of this year's team are composed entirely of freshmen and sophomores. "The reserves look pretty thin right now," stated the coach, "but they are starting to shape up. It usually takes two years to convert a high school boy into a college basketball play- er, and these boys are getting smarter with each practice," he continued. "Endres, Fisher, Kuntz — they're all good players and are looking better each night. In fact, all the reserves look pretty good. It just takes time for them to develop. That is, un- less they are naturals like Mosier or Moore," Barr said as he glanc- ed across the court where Mosier was sinking a driving lay-up. "They both have become smarter this year. We relied a lot on George Moore to handle the team last year, but I think Mosier will take over this job very well. He's the best player that I ever coach- ed." Susquehanna will count on Moore, Gallagher, and Mosier to carry the brunt of the Crusader's attack this season. They will re- ceive able support from Schenk, McCarrick, and Billig. Once again, as last year, the team will employ the fast break as a steady part of their offense. The re- mainder of the offense will vary according to the defensive set-up- zone, man-for-man, etc. Dave Schumacher will probably be the seventh man on the team . . . "Duke" Schenk has develop- ed into a fine offensive rebound- er . . . Temple has all their men returning from last year's squad - they'll be tough . . . Albright should be one of the toughest Karnes of the season . . . The Cru- sader hoopsters sank 48.3 percent of its field goal attemupts in 60-61 . . . S.U. has played three scrim- mage games thus far this year versus Penn State, Shippensburg State and Bloomsburg State . . . The team is holding a clinic at Danville High School this after- noon for the benefit of local high school coaches ... We have heard rumors that Harv Horowitz is the shortest basketball player in the MAC. The student body ex- tends 810 "thank you's" to the administration, football team, and Coach Garret for the victory holiday. Tuesday, November 21, 1W1-THE CRUSADER-Page 3 SU Slave Day, Friday, Dec. 2; Low Rates: Single or Harem SU Grid Team Compiles 8-0-1 Record For "Greatest Season" Another football season has ended at Susquehanna University, and the '61 campaign is sure to be looked on as the "greatest" in the his- tory of the school. Following the 1960 season, which saw the Orange and Maroon compile a record of seven wins and one loss, the question arose in the minds of many people as to whether the charges of Coach James Garrett could repeat in 1961. Faced with this challenge the ~ Crusaders, captained by Ben Di- Francesco, proved that not only could they repeat, but that they could do even better than the previous year. By defeating Wilkes College in the last game of the season, the Garrettmen finished with an 8-0-1 record, which is the winningest season to be put together by a Susquehan- na football team. Not enough credit can be given to Head Coach James Garrett for the job he has accomplished in forming a squad that brought the MAC Northern College Division championship to Susquehanna. Coach Garrett, in two years at S.U. has compiled a record of 15-1-1, and by his inspirational leadership has raised Susquehan- na from the football doldrums to a position where it now ranks among the top small college teams in the eastern section of the country. Evidence of this can be seen by the fact that just two weeks ago S.U. was ranked num- ber eight in the balloting for the Lambert Cup. Garrett was aided in his efforts by the knowledge of Coach Bob Pittello, who once again molded a rock-ribbed line. Coaches Dan Sekanovich and Robert Windish also played a large role in S.U.'s football success by their unceas- ing efforts to help form a team that couldn't be beaten. Looking back over the season which just ended, Susquehanna footballers and fans alike can recall many things which con- tributed to "the greatest season." Who can forget the opening game of the season in Sunbury, when S.U. met a surprisingly strong Lycoming squad that held the Crusaders scoreless until the final three minutes when Larry Kerstetter tallied to give the Gar- rettmen a 7-0 victory? The following week it was a 28-6 victory over Ursinus with the K-boys, Kissinger and Kerstet- ter leading the attack. Junior halfback John Luscko will never forget the great day he had against Swarthmore when he scored three touchdowns to pace the Crusaders to a 34-12 Parents Day victory. The game with Wagner College out on Staten Island, N.Y., will long be talked about. It was there that Susquehanna's defense stopped Wagner's top-flight quar- terback Don Cavilli, Mike Rup- precht scored two TD's and S.U. racked up win number four 28-24. On Homecoming Day the story was all Susquehanna as the Cru- saders showed their power by smashing Western Maryland 34-8. It was the same way in the next game at Delaware Valley as quarterback Don Green paved the way for the Crusaders by scoring twice and intercepting two passes in a 30-0 victory. On November 4, Oberlin Col- lege, of the Ohio Conference, and a boy named Allen Spiegelberg invaded University Field and held S.U. to a 7-7 tie when a last- second field goal by Tom Samuel fell just short of the crossbars. Bouncing back, the Orange and Maroon, led by the three touch- downs of fullback Kerstetter, hu- miliated Hobart College 35-6. In the final game, the Crusad- ers beat Wilkes 21-8 to finish with an impressive 8-0-1 season. Looking at impressive wins as those listed above, it's hard to conceive of Susquehanan as hav- ing another football team that will match this year's record. However, with the increasing number of football players attend- ing the University every year, the football fortunes appear to be bright for the next few seasons. The question next season will undoubtedly be: Can this year's team match the record of the 1961 squad? When the end of the '62 season rolls around we're bet- ting that Susquehanna will once again be one of the top small col- lege football teams in the East. Marilyn Martens is one of eight girls to be auctioned off Saturday, December 2, at the Slave Dance sponsored by the W.A.A. One slave or a harem? It doesn't matter which you desire. Men, you can get any girl on campus to be your slave provided you buy her in the lounge Friday afternoon, Dec. 2. The cost is so reasonable, only 10C per slave, so if you can't make up your mind to one particu- lar girl, why not have several? A master can have many slaves, but each slave can only have one master. Any girl who becomes a slave will render such services as shoe polishing, book carying, etc. on Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning and afternoon. But she will be free Saturday night to do as she wishes, unless of course you make a date with her. A slave dance will be held Sat- urday evening. Dec. 3, in the lounge of the new girls' dorm. Admission will be 15C per person or 25C per couple. At this event, eight campus beauties, two rep- resentatives from each class, will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. The names of these girls will be announced the week be- fore slave day on the posters found around campus. So think about it, men! Discuss it with your friends. You can have the time of your life at slave day 1961! A map and a lap equal fun and frolic! "LITTLE KNIGHTS" STAY UNBEATEN Susquehanna's baby Crusaders < 2-0) picked up their second win of the football season last week when they upended Steven's Trade School 20-0. The Crusader junior varsity was sparked by freshman quar- terback "Zeke" Zelinsky and Greyson "Diesel" Lewis who picked up 106 yards rushing. The opening kickoff was taken by Zelinsky who carried from his own 20 yard line to the 40 of Ste- vens. From there S.U. drove 40 yards in eleven plays with the touchdown coming on a five-yard run by fullback Bill Gailbrath. Following the kickoff, the boys from Lancaster fumbled on the second play from scrimmage and guard, Mike Voiles picked up the pigskin for S.U. Two plays later S.U. was on the Trade School 2 yard stripe, by virtue of a 37 yard pass from Zelinsky to Roger For- geson. (iailbruth again went the final two yards for the six-pointer, and after halfback Chuck Ashburn tacked on the two-pointer, S.U. led 14-0. An aerial interception by Ash- burn set the Crusaders up on their own three and quelled Ste- ven's lone threat. Starting on the three the Crusader jayvees mov- ed the ball out to the twenty in five plays. Quarterback Zelinsky then picked up 15 yards and was followed by a 23 yard jaunt by "Diesel" Lewis. A Zelinsky to Gailbrath aerial set up S.U.'s third score. I^wis carried to the one and then blasted home for the T.D. At half the score read: S.U.— 20, Stevens— 0. Most of the second half was played in the Trade School area, but Susquehanna was unable to push across another score and the contest ended 20-0. DiFrancesco, Hauser, Rohland Complete SU Grid Careers In Win Last Saturday night three Cru- sader gridmen appeared on the Susquehanna field for their final game. Seniors Ben DiFrancesco, Ken Hauser, and Dick Rohland have played important roles in the success of Crusader football during the past few seasons and their loss will certainly be felt by future teams. Ben "Butch" DiFrancesco, 5-8, 160 lb. guard and linebacker, is ranked as one of Susquehanna's greatest athletes. Butch, whose hometown is Atlas.

Four games were cancelled because of rain, which means that the sea- son will go into an extra week. The Phi Mu Delta-Theta Chi game, which was to determine which team played Lambda Chi Dr. B. Krapf Explains Pizza, Pond Problems In an attempt to establish bet- ter communication between the students and the administration, the Crusader asked Mr. Krapf, Business Manager, and Assistant to the President, for the reasons behind two recent "changes" on the S.U. campus. Many students have questioned reasons for a fence being placed around the fish pond. Besides the apparent reason of discouraging what could be dangerous student activity around the pond, the ma- jor reason is for the protection of the many small children now liv- ing in this area. There have been frequent incidents where children have fallen into the pond. Since the hedge surrounding the pond froze last winter, there was no protection against such incidents. Eventually, a new hedge will grow up around the fence, elim- inating what some students have called an eye-sore. Student criticism has also arisen regarding the Pizza vendor who has been requested not to sell on campus. The ruling about such vendors, originally set up by the Board of Directors, is meant for student protection against continual annoyance by door-to-door salesmen, contribu- tion seekers, and street vendors. A second reason for this policy is the school's arrangement with Ritter Company, for the operation of the Snack Bar. The school re- quested that Ritter invest money to set up this system, therefore, they owe Ritter certain protec- tion. Mr. Krapf re-emphasized the fact that the school makes no money from either the opera- tion of the Snack Bar or the Book Store. fectly and Kissinger went the dis tance unmolested. Samuel kick- ed the point. Wilkes moved right down to score after the kickoff with half- back Travis-Bey pitching to Wal- lace on a seven yarder. Quarter- back Schwab skirted left end for the two point conversion. EXTRA POINTS: Captain Ben DiFrancesco played his last play for Susquehanna as a guard with three minutes left in the game, but returned to play end.

Phi Mu Delta also has another unfinished game with the Alpha House-Day Students team to com- plete. They are leading this game by an 18-14 count with 6 minutes remaining. Theta Chi and Lambda Chi Al- pha both picked up forfeit wins recently. Theta Chi gained two when South and North Dorms were unable to field teams, and Lambda Chi Alpha also picked up a forgeit win from North Dorm.

CHRISTMAS VACATION OPINIONS See Page 2 VOL. 3 — NO. 10 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1961 it PORTABLE NASH" VISITS S.U. THURSDAY Dr. Hans Wulf Visits SU Campus In Lutheran Exchange Program An international exchange of ideas and information is currently occurring on the Susquehanna University campus among faculty, stu- dents, and their guest, Dr. Hans Wulf of the foundation at Bethel Bielefeld, Germany. Dr. Wulf, who formerly worked with the East German refugees in West Berlin, is visiting the United States and studying the social missions of the area under the auspices of the Lu- theran World Federation. Through arrangements by Dr. Otto Reim- herr, Dr. Wulf is visiting Susquehanna University, Bucknell University, Penn State University, and the Lewisburg penitentiary. Bethel Bielefeld is a CITY FOR THE SICK where the 7,000 in- habitants are patients of some kind, and where the active citi- zens direct and shape the affairs of their own city. Bielefeld is also the location of the Deaconess Motherhouse. Actually, Bethel is a kind of private settlement, a section half rural and half sub- urban between the cities of Biele- feld and Brackwede. Bethel was not founded, but grew up through the efforts of a man with Chris- tian virtues, a statesman with vi- sion and a peasant's sincerity. Epileptics in Bethel do anything from working machines, to carv- ing fiddles, to the presentation of folk festivals in the streets. These people have become Christians because they have found hope de- spite illness and handicaps in this city. By 1962, 8,000 patients and 60 hospitals will be located in this city. A seminary and mission pro- gram are also located in Bethel Bielefeld — the city where people have found hope beyond suffering and death. Much opportunity for questions and discussion on the refugee problem, Bethel Bielefeld, and many other areas of interest to Dr. Wulf is offered to the students and faculty of Susquehanna this week. Dr. Wulf arrived yester- day, December 5, and will be a guest on campus until Saturday, December 9. He is very much interested in meeting faculty and students and being a part of campus life. He is staying at the Campus Guest House on Univer- sity Avenue. He is dining in Hor- ton Dining Hall with the members of the Student Christian Associa- tion, Friday night discussion groups, Pre-Theological Associa- tion, fraternities, and other stu- dents on campus. Thursday after- noon an informal tea is being (Continued on Page 4) Choir Prepares For Christmas Concert The Susquehanna University Choir will herald the Christmas season when they present their traditional concert December 10 at 8:15 p.m. in Seibert Chapel. They will also perform for the Ladies' Auxiliary at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 9. Under the able and enthusiastic direction of Mr. John Magnus, the choir will present musical selec- tions including Bach's "Alleluja," traditional English carols, and "The Little Drummer Boy." There will be a tea following Saturday's concert for the Ladies' Auxiliary, and an open reception in Heilman Hall immediately fol- lowing Sunday's performance.

Organized under an Ex- ecutive Council of four girls (Judy Brndjar, Assistant Head Resi- dent; Joan Lawley, House Presi- dent, Dorothy Anderson, and Sue Sload), the line of responsibility extends from this committee, to the House Council, the desk girls, the hall proctors, to each indi- vidual girl.

The time and place are Thursday, December 7, at 8 o'clock in Seibert Auditorium. The star of the show just happens to be America's leading writer of light verse, straight from Broadway — Mr. Ogden Nash. "The Portable Nash," as his program is entitled, will include a recitation of a number of his classic verses and comments on the turn of events in his life that caused their creation. Mr. Nash has delighted readers for some thirty years with his humorous poems in the New Yorker, Satur- day Evening Post, and other na- tional magazines as well as more than a dozen books. Among his most well-known books are "Hard Lines," "I'm A Stranger Here Myself," "Good Intentions," "Many Long Years Ago," "The Face Is Familiar," "Versus," "Parents Keep Out," and "The Private Dining Room." He also wrote the lyrics and was co-author with S. J. Perelman of the smash-hit musical "One Touch of Venus"; and was lyricist for "Two's Company" starring Bette Davis. Some may also recall Mr. Nash's regular appearance as a panel member on the television program Masquerade Party sev- eral years ago.

NSA Administrator Visits Susquehanna Tuesday, November 28, 1961, Miss Mary Beth Schaub, Campus International Administrator for the National Student Association, visited the Susquehanna Univer- sity campus to talk with student and administration members. Miss Schaub is visiting campuses throughout the United States to give students information on study and travel abroad and to give help through the NSA to campus student governments and connec- tions with other area student gov- ernments. Miss Schaub through the NSA tries to emphasize stu- dent interest in campus intellec- tual discussion and lectures, stu- dent government, and national and international affairs. "Abe Lincoln In Illinois"; A Review Of The Presentation by Dr. Charles Rahter "Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them." And by carefully sticking to the established facts, Robert Sherwood has in his Pulitzer Prize winning play Abe Lincoln in Illinois drawn a portrait of young Lincoln which clearly suggests that the greatness Lincoln was to achieve in his later years as President was thrust upon him by his friends, by his wife, and, ultimately, by that mysterious force we call destiny. Illinois, not because this is the centennial anniversary year of the conflict with which Lincoln's name will always be linked, but because this is such a fine play. It has, of course, many moments of wit and honest good humor- how could a play about Lincoln fail to have them?— and a noisy and amusing tavern-brawl scene; but it is basically a study of the nobility and poetry, the essential dignity of the human spirit "when feeling out of sight for the ends of Being and ideal Grace." In a short notice it is impossible to comment upon more than a very few of a cast that counts up- wards of twenty-five, plus a sub- stantial number of supernumer- aries. The central role of Lin- coln, a long and difficult one, was, on the whole, quite successfully mastered by Walter Fox. Mention (Continued on Page 5) In this play young Abe is a brooding, frustrated, introspec- tive soul, alternately fascinated by the poetry and mystery of life and repelled by its iniquities and injustices. Like the man whose story, we are told, he loved to read, Lincoln is here presented as a sort of Hamlet of the plains, a young man who was troubled by his memories of the past, who heard voices in the night, who would retreat in moments of great stress to the open arch of the heavens over the mid-western plains to find the peace he so des- perately longed for. And too, like his prototype he had a growing sense of his ultimate fate that stirs through all the twelve scenes of the play and is moving- ly realized in the last. The SU Players are to be con- gratulated upon their selection and production of Abe Lincoln in Senior Accounting Majors Get Six-Week Intern Appointments by Bill Clark The members of the senior class in Accounting have received their assignments for the six-week internship program. Every member that had expressed a desire to intern, received an assignment. This is a fine tribute to Mr. Lamar D. Inners and to the individual members of the class. These are the companies par- ticipating in the program and the students they will employ as in- terns: Arthur Young & Co. of New York City will receive David Smith; Haskins & Sells of New York City will employ John Spill- man; Ernst & Ernst of Philadel- phia will use the services of Nor- man Laurer, Robert Smith and Maria Wernikowski ; Price Water- house of New York will receive James Ward and Kenneth Hous- er; Peat, Marwick & Mitchell of New York Cityl will welcome Carl Hitchner, Pat Goetz and Norman Crickenberger, and Lybrands, Ross Bros. & Montgomery of Philadelphia will receive William Kahl, Robert Lindemuth and Rog- er Trexler. Mr. Donald Fisher, C.P.A., of Selinsgrove has your reporter, Bill Clark, as an intern. This program will be in effect from Jan. 29 to March 9. Each student will be required to per- form the services of a Junior Ac- countant and will be remunerated for his work. When they return, (Continued on Page 6) A scene from "Abe Lincoln in Illinois."

Second-class postage paid at Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. Self-Discipline . . . Presently Susquehanna is experiencing one of the most remark- able occurrences probably in the history of the school. Never has a dormitory on this campus operated without the assistance of a house- mother, but that is exactly the present arrangement in the women's new dormitory. With the resignation of the head resident, the administration has had to forget their cloak of distrust and pessimism and place the dormi- tory on what has been termed "the honor system." Until the arrival of a new head resident, who is expected sometime after the first of the year, the dormitory will be supervised by a four-woman executive board, a house council, proctors, desk girls, and most important — the 150 residents. If this past week's performance can be used as a valid basis for prediction, we can only say that the results of this new challenge will prove no less than favorable. No radical changes have been made in the dormitory's restrictions, but additional adherence to the regulations has been extended. The new system has brought with it a feeling of responsibility and a chance for the girls to display their maturity and common sense — something they have long awaited. Without the slightest sign of hesitancy, Dean Steltz has conveyed her belief in the trustworthiness of the girls. She is certain they will exercise discretion in this undertaking, and her confidence in them is completely without limitation. With such a display of faith, the girls feel their actions will reflect on her and the last thing they wish to do is to destroy this flawless image she has of them. Although there are many times that we tend to criticize both ad- ministration and faculty, it is an action such as the above-mentioned which brings to light their willingness to help and serve in our interest. We commend all who have made this action possible and remain assured that this privilege will not be mistreated. P.O.

September, 1961 My dear parents: My. Ryan, who is the Director in Korea, the Foster Parents' Plan, Inc., had a short visit to our orphanage on September 8 and his visiting made us very happy. He made an interview with us one by one. I received a serious wound on my finger because about 1.5 cm of one of my fingers was cut off when I was returning to the or- phanage driving a cow. The Di- rector was so surprised at my wounded finger. We are con- structing a bath house in our or- phanage now. He was much pleased at the bath house. It will be finished in September. Here in Korea, the fall season has set in finally and many kinds of flowers are in full bloom in the garden. I think they must make him very happy. They make us very glad too. This is all for today.

BELL'S INVENTION by Rita Winans This little phone we call our own (It really is quite neat) Is, we find, just fine at about nine To give the fellows a treat. We call them all; we have a ball, And they get quite a thrill. And when they call us, there's quite a fuss And from our rooms we spill. Still, a girl isn't ready to talk to her steady Until she has combed her hair; So when George calls Gaye, we feel obliged to say Something when she isn't there. After a while, of course, George gets hoarse; The boys come to his rescue. So Zeke, and Bill, Cooch, Yogi and Phil Take part in a "telephone bur- lesque." The girls' voices chime (never one at a time) To answer the fellows' greetings; College romances no longer begin at dances But by these "telephonious meet- ings." The reason I know that all this is so (I forgot to tell you before) Is because Bell's invention — of which I've made mention — Has been placed just outside of my door.

The Christmas Vacation - What Are The Opinions of SU Students by Judy Behrens & Betsy Bunting "What do YOU think of leaving for Christmas vacation on Decem- ber 22?" — was the question posed to a number of Susquehanna stu- dents recently. Here are a few of the replies: Marge Blair — I'm just not buy- ing Christmas presents for anybody. I just won't have time. I can't afford it any- way. This is a good excuse. Roland Marionni — Are we hav- ing a Christmas vacation? Jane Gelnett — It's a short vaca- tion, but it's better this way because we get a spring vaca- tion. Dick Rohland — Who wants to go home?

Thank you, SCA World Community Committee Wednesday, December 6, 1961-THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Although sneakers and gym trunks have replaced shoulder pads and tackling dummies for another year on the Susquehanna sports scene and the charges of Coach John Barr have already started their campaign, we'd like to take one last look at that football team, and note some statistics that helped give the Orange and Maroon their "greatest" year. We realize that statistics aren't the most pleasant things to read, but it appears to be the best way to break the football season down to see what really happened. You might even cut this out and save it; maybe it will help you win an argument some day. Starting with team statistics the Crusaders amassed a total of 224 points on 32 touchdowns, 20 one-pointers, and six two-pointers, while holding their opponents to a mere 71 points. The Garrettmen racked up 158 first downs and a total offense of 2,781 yards, all but 405 of these coming on the ground. On defense they held nine opponents to 97 first downs and a total of only 1,363 yards. This yardage was almost equally divided with 726 being gained on the ground, and 636 in the air. The Crusaders as a team intercepted 15 aerials, while having only seven of their own passes picked off. Many of you have probably been wondering just how the team made out with those penalties. Well, they ended up with 793 yards being walked off against them on 80 penalties for an average of 88 yards a game. Susquehanna averaged an amazing average game yardage of 309 while allowing their opponents only 151.5 yards per game. Over in the individual department, fullback Larry Kerstetter was the top point-producer with 62 points on nine touchdowns and eight extra points. He was followed by Kissinger with 38 points; Green, 32; and Luscko, 30. "The Toe" Samuel kicked 20 extra points. In the rushing phase of the game Kerstetter netted 610 yards for an average carry of 4.3 yards. He was closely followed by junior halfback John Luscko with 600 yards, and average of 4.3. Sophomore sensation Don Green averaged 6.5 yds. per carry to lead the squad while Kissinger followed with 3.7 yards gained every time he carried. Green completed 27 of his 74 attempted passes for a total of 395 yards and two touchdowns. * * * * * * * * * * * * Junior John Luscko, 5-7, 170 pound Crusader halfback, who hails from Mt. Ephriam, N.J., has been named captain of the football squad for the 1962 season. Luscko exceeded the career rushing mark of 1,000 total yards this year, and a 110-yard rushing performance in the last game gave Luscko the MAC Northern College Division rushing championship for the second straight year. * • * * * * * • * * * e Last week at the football banquet University President Gustavo W.

Friday night opened the practice season of the women's varsity team, with approximately twenty- five girls coming to tryouts. The freshmen are tops, sending out sixteen girls to the practice ses- sion. The sophomoores are next, -ending out four, juniors and seniors follow, each contributing two players respectively. Three of the girls are returning starters from last year in the persons of Joan Lawley, Candy Fink, and Toby Brodisch. At present, the team has on its schedule Lock Haven, Mtoericor- •lia, Shippensburg, and Wilkes, with a fifth game as yet not scheduled. The girls are looking forward to a rough season and will be out there working hard to make a good showing. Let's give them support! Girls' Intramural Volleyball Starts The women's intramural volley- ball program is in full swing. Twelve teams made up of girls from all four classes are actively participating in a Round Robin Tournament, which at this date is about half over. Presently, there is a three-way tie for first place among the Sophomore I, Sophomore II, and Junior I teams. The Freshman VI team and Seniors are tied for second place, with two Junior teams and two Freshman teams coming in third. There's still plenty of time to get your team up there on top; so, girls, support the intramural program and be in the gym on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Coach Barr Begins Fifth Year At Helm Coach John Barr began his fifth season of piloting the Sus- quehanna University basketball team on Friday night. Last year he led the Crusaders to an envi- able 17-6 record which included a winning streak of eight games. The team fiinished in third place in the Northern College Division of the league and won the Upsala Christmas Tournament. Coach Barr has had a varied and interesting background in basketball. After graduating from Shamokin High School he played four years of varsity basketball at Perm State and was chosen Ail- American forward in his senior year, 1941. After a five-year hitch in the Navy, Coach Barr began playing professional basketball in 1946, when he signed with the St. Louis Bombers of the Basketball As- sociation of America (now the NBA). Moving to the Eastern Professional Basketball League, he served as player-coach of the Wilkes-Barre Barons for three seasons and then coached the Sunbury Mercuries for one year. Since 1957 Barr has been splitting his time between the Susquehan- na coaching post and his regular full-time work in investment bank- ing. 6'-2" guard Clark Mosier whose 21 point performance almost led the Crusaders to an upset victory over the highly-touted Temple Owls. LCA, Theta Chi Tied For Number One Spot Three games were played on the intramural football schedule last week. The Alpha House-Day Student team, which has shown tremendous improvement over the season, completed an unfinish- ed contest against Phi Mu Delta with a 20-18 win. On Wednesday the "Daisies" turned in their most stunning vic- tory of the season, a 12-6 win over Lambda Chi Alpha who was previously undefeated. Theta Chi battled Phi Mu Delta to a 13-13 tie on Thursday and then Friday played an extra twenty-minute period to decide the game. Theta Chi tallied a touchdown and a safety while holding Phi Mu Delta scoreless. At the end of the week, Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Chi were tied for first place with identical 6-1 records. A playoff game was planned to decide the winner. The Alpha House-Day Student team, with a 5-2 record, is in third place. Bob Squires Captures Weightlifting Event During the Thanksgiving recess, junior Bob Squires, representing Susquehanna University, copped a first place in the Open Thanks- giving Invitation Weightlifting Championships held in Pittsburgh. The meet, which is held annual* ly by the Boys' Club of Pittsburgh, saw Squires participating in the 165 pound class. He pressed 230 lbs., snatched 215, cleaned and jerked 270, for a total of 715 pounds and number one spot. Squires, in gaining his victory, competed against weightlifters from Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, and Ohio.* Crusaders Drop Opening Game To Temple; Mosier Sparkles Susquehanna's basketball team, with Coach John Barr at the helm, got the 1961-62 campaign underway last Friday night when they went down to defeat at the hands of the Temple Owls 75-60 in Temple's South Hall.

Dr. Hans Wulf. \ Patronize Crusader Advertisers WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragle In the near or distant future, perhaps by some ironic accident, but more likely through brutal, calculated design, a switch, far more meaningful than that of the electric chair, may be thrown. A sleek, white form may surge abruptly into the sky, carrying a full cargo of suffering and fear to a people never known by its makers. It is immaterial who fires the first shot, for the result will be the same: two nations will take it upon themselves to hurl at each other missiles against which defense is negjigible. One country will wage its successful attack, the opponent will carry out an effective revenge, and both will immediately lapse into a time of weakness and slow re- covery. Many Americans dread to think of that day. They choose to spare themselves the pain of realizing that it may come, and so they refuse to plan or prepare, excusing their attitude with the shallow statement that if a nuclear attack should come, they would prefer not to live through it. But what does this excuse really mean? Might not a person just as well say that if Detroit stopped provid- ing him with cars, if agriculture stopped pouring food abundantly into his cupboards, if no one carried away the trash each morning, and if his friends were taken away, then he would be so overcome with self- pity, so weak in character and unwilling to exert effort, that life would be unbearable? And does he not show his ignorance by hinting that he believes all his friends would have to be taken away? Even in a full-scale nuclear attack, 90% of his friends would survive — if they had prepared in advance. (See U.S. News & World Report, September 25, 1961.) Certain things are necessary for human life. People need air and nourishment, and, in the case of fallout, shielding. And when a person denies himself air by tying a rope about his neck, we call him immoral. When he refuses his cells nourishment by slashing his wrists, he is immoral. Yet, for some reason, people feel that they will be quite justified in submitting themselves to a fate' which is not only as lethal as the rope or blade, but which is far more prolonged and excruciating. Of course, most objectors won't really continue to object if an emergency does arise. They, like the grasshopper in the fable of the ant and the grasshopper, and like the crowds at the doors of the ark, will be quite willing to continue living. And whether it be to help and console another human being, to develop a new and more sensible na- tion, or even only to experience the color of the sky and the feel of the wind, one truly should be willing and eager to live. So if one day, the sirens and whistles warn Americans to take cov- er, responsibility will not lie solely with a government defending itself, nor can we lay blame too heavily upon those who will have stocked their shelters with guns. It will be their own unquestioning foolishness, and their own shallow thinking and unconcern which will have decreed both the fate of America's "grasshoppers," and the deep grief of those who have no choice but to turn them away. And whether their attitude is easier to bear than realism, whether it is prompted by sensitivity — indifference — or the belief that it "just can't happen," that attitude is a cowardly one, and never practical, logical, or kind. Wednesday, December 6, Wl-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 Out Of A Test Tube by TOM HANSHAW After a long rest, I return to you once more with some new con- cepts of science to confuse you who are not science majors just a little more. This week our discussion turns to the subject of man. No, not an animal like you and me, but one who more closely resembles King Kong; the Neanderthal man. This fellow had a nasty habit when courting a young co-ed; he invariably grabbed his pretty young miss and escorted her to his cave, instead of walking her to the snack bar for coffee. But enough of this torn foolery, what does the scientist say about this fellow. The first human fossil to be found was a skull fragment found in a cave at Gibraltar in 1848. The bones of this skull were very thick, the eye brow ridge very prominent, the nose was broad and the jaws were massive. This skull did not attract much attention mut several years later a skull with many appendicular fragments (bones of the body proper) were found in the Neanderthal valley of Germany. The remains became very well known under the name of Homo neander- thalensis, or the Neanderthal man, which was popularly regarded as the "prehistoric man." The Neanderthal man (let's call him Charlie for convenience sake) was first dated in 1886, when two skeletons were found at Namur, Germany, near the bones of this mammoth which are later in the ice age. Since that time, a great many of Charlie's friends have been found in various localities ranging throughout the Palentic region. Dating of depositing indicate that Charlie joined their world during the last interglacial period and did not become extinct until about 25,000 years ago. Too bad kids, we just missed him. A rather complete description of Charlie can be constructed on the basis of available skeletons. The skull runs large and thick boned, the eyebrow ridges are very prominent and the forehead was receding. Although his cranial capacity was greater than that of modern man, his head was flat. Charlie, a flat head? I guess so. While the brain was large, no inference can be made to his intelligence. However, the quality of his stone tool and the fact that he buried his dead shows that Charlie was not a complete idiot. Fossils which have sometime been considered Neanderhtalian have also been found in South Africa and Java. The South African Fossils were found in Rhodesia, in 1921, and have been described under the name of Homo rhodesiensis. The find includes a nearly complete skull, part of another upper jaw, portions of limb bones and of the pelvic girdle. The limb bones are not distinguishable from those of modern man, but the skull is somewhat Neanderthoid in appearance . Geolog- ical evidence upon the age of this fellow is inconclusive, but bones of species of mammals now living were found in the same cave, and it seems probable that the fossils are relatively recent in origin. The problem of the relationship of Charlie to modern man is a much vexed question. It was originally thought that the relationship was one of direct descent from Neanderthal to modern man. But the discovery of the swanscombe skull in 1935 showed that a much more modern type of man was already present in Europe long before the date of Neanderthal remains. Further, Charlie was at least partly contemporaneous with Cro-Magnon man, and this would appear to disqualify Charlie as a direct descendant, for it is generally agreed that Cro-Magnon man was ancestral to modern man. Some anthro- pologists now form the idea that the Neanderthal man is, like modern man, descended from Pithecanthropus, but by a collateral line which died out without leaving any descendants. Thus the relationship to modern man is that of an uncle rather than that of a parent. But so distinguished an anthropologist as Weidenreich, had concluded that "No matter how the occurence of such a mixture of forms may be explained, this find proves that Neanderthalians did not die out but survived somewhere by continuing in Homo sapians. The classical Neanderthal remains were all found in Western Europe and were of a rather late date. However, many skeletons of earlier date of less marked Neanderthaloid type have been found in Eastern Europe and in Asia. It is probable that as early as the second interglacial period, a modern type but highly variable race of men inhabited the old world. As a fourth glacier set in, those with more extreme Neanderthoid traits were isolated from the rest in south western Europe. Developing in isolation and probably aided consid- erably in breeding, they developed the classical Neanderthaloid traits. Meanwhile the main populus to the east developed along different lines, and produced the Homo sapians. Subsequently, this more pro- gressive man replaced his Neanderthal cousins in Western Europe. Abe Lincoln (Continued from Page 1) must be made of Gay Bouchard's statuesquely impressive appear- ance as Mary Todd and Joseph Perfilio's bluff, hearty portrayal of the judge with the fascinating name of Bowling Green. Mentor Graham. Lincoln's old friend, and Ninian Edwards, his brother-in- law, were ably played by Richard Kohland and John Pignatore re- spectively. In her brief but im- portant scenes, Marilyn Vekassy suggested the freshness and good- ness of Ann Rutledge, who, legend has it, was the first, tragic love of Lincoln's life. The cos- tumes were authentic and re- splendent; the sets and scenery tasteful. Professor Nary, the cast, and all those connected with the production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois have earned our gratitude by giving us another splendid eve- ning in the theatre.

In the first bi-annual chess tournament of Phi Epsilon, Tony Colombet emerged as champion by defeating Jeff Whitney in the final round. They extend their sympathy to Marty Malone whose visions of being champion were shattered in the first round by John Eggert. The Phi Epsilon intramural football team is greatly indebted to its coach Walt Speidell for leading the team to a perfect slate to date (0-5). However, two games still remain with G.A.

Phi Epsilon wishes to congratu- late the Susquehanna football team, the cheerleaders, and the marching band for a very superb season. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA The Brotherhood of Lambda Chi Alpha express their best wishes to Butch DiFrancesco, Dick Rowlands, and Ken Hauser who have played their last foot- ball for the Crusaders. They will be sorely missed by next year's gridders. Brother John Luscko was elected captain for next year's Crusaders. Another hearty congratulation to Butch DiFrancesco who was recently named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Univer- sities. Joe Perfilio is busily finishing plans for two parties to be held at the house this month. One is the Christmas party for the un- derprivileged children of the area, and the other is the annual Christ- mas dinner and dance to be held on December 16. The brotherhood is also prepar- ing for a serenade to be given later this month. George Kindon is the hard working arranger and conductor. The Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha extend best wishes to Diane Norcross who was recently pin- ned to brother Tommy Samuel. THETA CHI The big news at Theta Chi last week was the victory of the intra- mural football team over Phi Mu Delta. Sports chairman Paul Tressler has done a fine job in guiding his charges to a first place tie with Lambda Chi for the regular season. Whether the "Big Red" wins or loses the championship game, one can nev- er deny that the spirit and hustle of this year's club rank it with Theta Chi's finest. Special mention goes to Walt Fox for his work in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois." Without doubt, the master has done it again in his fine creation of another role. Also in the play from Theta Chi was Robert Richards. With this year's abbreviate Christmas vacation drawing clos- er, plans are well underway for the annual Christmas Formal. The big question this year cen- ters around the annual selection of the Theta Chi Dream Girl. Con- gratulations are in order to Bob Leighty '61, on his recent engage- ment to Joan Lawley.

Anderson & Co. will also be on campus to inter- view prospective employees. Mr. Inners has also arranged for the Internal Revenue Service to give interviews on December 13, and the Government Accounting Of- fice will have a representative here at Susquehanna shortly after the completion of the internship program. There are also several industrial companies that have expressed a desire to interview accounting majors. This is a good indication of the tremendous opportunities which are available to any student who chooses a career in accounting. S0...SAY YES TO THE NEW MARCH OF DIMES Navy Team To Visit Campus December 13 A Navy Information Team will visit the campus of Susquehanna University on Wednesday, De- cember 13th, to discuss the Navy Officer Candidate School Program with interested students. The team will be located in G.A. Lounge. The Navy Officer Candidate School is a program whereby young men with college degrees may obtain commissions after four months of schooling at New- port, Rhode Island. Applications for selection may be submitted at any time after completion of the junior year. Basic requirements for selec- tion are: 1. A college degree 2. Citizen of the United States 3. Between the ages of 19 and 27 Classes convene at Newport every two months. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes.

Dr. Catherine Stetlz, Dean of Women, expressed complete con- fidence in the girls when install- ing the new system. Through the co-operation of each and every member of the student body, this could be one of the finest experi- ences of their college career, a perfect opportunity to prove that Susquehanna students are mature individuals, capable of responsi- bility to the University as well as to themselves. Upon the arrival of a new Head Resident on January 2nd, it is ex- pected that she will not only find herself in charge of an efficiently operating residence but one with mature and responsible women. SAI Prepares For Confab In Chicago The members of Sigma Alpha Iota, the national honorary music fraternity, are making the neces- sary preparations for their forth- coming trip to Chicago, Illinois, this summer. They will attend the National Convention of S.A.I, which is to be held from August 16 to 20. They are one of three chapters selected to sing in a chorus for the convention. The chorus will sing the winning composition of American Music Awards Compe- tition, which is open to any Amer- ican composer between the ages of 22 and 35. Works of former winners will also be performed. Among those winners are such people as Howard Hanson and Vincent Prochetti. The convention is to be held at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Twenty-six members of S.A.I. will represent Susquehanna Univer- sity. The members of this sorority are made up of music students, who have shown not only out- standing ability in music, but also good scholastic standing, general ability, and a well-rounded per- sonality. In the coming months the mem- bers of S.A.I, will be engaged in various money raising projects, the profits of which will be used for traveling to and from the convention.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1961 "Candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker" — these, and many other of Ogden Nash's humorous lines entertained a capacity crowd during the poet's campus visit. "Portable Nash" Visit To SU Draws Capacity-Plus Audience Ogden Nash, America's foremost and probably best known writer of light verse, delighted an overflow crowd of 800 Thursday evening at Susquehanna University with an hour of anecdotal humor and verse. Presented as the second installment of Susquehanna's current Artist Series, "The Portable Nash" proved himself as palatable as portable, and as Nashian as the Ogden Nash of T.V.'s Masquerade Party. Mr. Nash, a native of Rye, New mm> m *m kMk% md ^^ ly cracked sense of humor pro- duce an effect which is unique. Speaking in what could be label- ed immediately, a New York ac- cent, Mr. Nash broke the ice with a two line verse designed to do just that, and, interjecting vari- ous observations and personal ex- periences as he proceeded, read poems dealing with a Cyprus cit- rus surplus, or perhaps some of the humorous incompatibilities of married life, or again observa- tions of people who (although they generally travel by plane) are forced to take a train. Mr. Nash entered and left Susquehanna via the facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad. York, has been a Harvard fresh- man, a bond salesman, the father of two daughters, a member of the staff of The New Yorker, and the author of several volumes of his droll humor, as well as what he terms "a semi-celebrity" in the world of television panel shows. His liveliest effects are published in Free Wheeling, The Bad Parent's Garden of Verse, and I'm a Stranger Here Myself, as well as the rest of his books, which number more than a dozen. Nash's charm lies in what ap- pears to be irresponsibly written, quick witted verse. His off-the- cuff, informal style and seeming- ly careless use of the English Ian- Connecticut General Company Gives Grants to Susquehanna Connecticut General Life Insurance Company has contributed $160 to Susquehanna University under its two-part Program of Aid to High- er Education. 1 The program is designed to given annual assistance on an unrestricted basis to privately supported, four-year colleges and universities under a plan of both direct and matching grants. The first part of the program is a direct grant to the college whose graduates have been employed by Connecticut General for ten years or more. It is based on the pre- mise that in four years a college spends about $4000 beyond what it receives in tuition and fees to educate each student. A direct grant of $1660 for each eligible graduate seeks to replace the income the college would receive from endowment if $4000 were available for investment at four per cent. The company has made a direct grant to Susquehanna University in the name of George A. Cooper, '48. In the second part of the program Connecticut General matches individual gifts made to colleges by employees who have been with the company for at least one year. The gifts may be made to any accredited privately supported four-year college or university of the employee's choice. Music Division of SU Elected to NASM The Music Division of Susque- hanna University was officially elected to associate membership in the National Association of Schools of Music at the associa- tion's 37th annual meeting in Denver, Colorado, on November 24 and 25. This honor was bestowed upon eight other schools besides Sus- quehanna, including the Yale Uni- versity School of Music. The nine new members were introduced to the assembly by Dr. Earl V. Moore, one of NASM's founders, the NASM, designated by the National Commission on Accredit- ing as the responsible agency for the accreditation of music degree curricula, has included 265 music institutions on its membership lists. Last year at the Chicago con- vention of the NASM, Susque- hanna made an appeal for mem- bership. As a result of this ap- peal, Professor Charles Pearson of the Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology was assigned as judge to survey our Music Department. Prof. Pearson made an intensive two-day study of the music de- partment here last May. The stu- dent and faculty co-operation dur- ing this survey was greatly ap- preciated. After a period of two years, Sus- quehanna University will apply for full membership to NASM. There is probation period of three years for most schools. Mr. Russell C. Hatz. associate professor and chairman of Sus- quehanna's Music Division, has been instrumental in the earning of this recognition. Mr. Hatz represented the university at the NASM meeting held in Denver's Denver-Hilton Hotel. While at the meeting Mr. Hatz had the opportunity to hear and see the "Grand Canyon Suite" conducted by its compooser, Ferde Grofe. Mr. Hatz also enjoyed sitting in on a rehearsal of the Denver Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Saul Caston, formerly con- ductor of the Reading Symphony Orchestra and a member of the Philadelphia Symphony Orches- tra. Hassinger Committee Sets Yuletide Plans The Social Committee has been planning Hassinger Dorm activi- ties fervently this year. This is a new approach to planning dorm activities; previously Hassinger had a president, but the great amount of leadership ability in the dorm has merited a Social Committee. The Dorm residents voted for this new method. The committee, consisting of Linda Cathcart, chairman, Mari- lyn Risley, Pamela Dick, Diane Norcross, Phoebe Hinkle, and Re- becca Dailey, has planned a Christmas Party for Friday, De- cember 15th, at which time the girls will exchange small gifts, sing songs, and enjoy refresh- ments. The trimming of the Christmas tree December 8 was under the direction of the Social Committee. Mr. John P. Magnus Previews New York Recital, December 17 John P. Magnus will present a Faculty Recital for those who will be unable to attend his concert at Town Hall in New York City over Christmas vacation. Mr. Magnus is an outstanding bass-baritone solo- ist, director of Susquehanna University Choir, and assistant professor of the music division. Professor Magnus will preview his forthcoming recital on Sun- day, December 17 in Seibert Chapel at 8:15 p.m. He is a graduate of Juilliard School of Music where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in voice and conducting. He has had wide experience as a soloist and vocal coach and has performed in such places as Roxy Theatre, New York City; Phillips Gallery, Washington, D.C.; and Collegium Musicum, Buenos Aires, Argen- tina. The repertoire of his New York concert on December 28, will in- clude works by Johann S. Bach, Burl Ives, and Alan Copeland. His selections will be sung in Ger- John P. Magnus, SU choir di- man, French, Italian, and Eng- rector and assistant professor of lish. music. SCA Christmas Vespers, Carol Sing Set For Monday, Dec. 1 8 On Monday, December 18, at 7:00 in Seibert Chapel. SAI and the Crusaders Male Chorus will present a program of Christmas music for the annual SCA Vesper program. At the conclusion of vespers, the Student Christian Association will go caroling about campus and Selinsgrove and will return to Seibert Hall for refreshments. This Vesper service is one of the special holiday services highlighting the weekly vespers conducted by the various organizations on campus. This is one of the many activi- ties sponsored by the S.C.A. throughout the school year. The S.C.A. was hard at work in the early part of the year planning a mixer during Orientation in honor of the incoming freshman class. The Big and Little Sister Banquet in October saw the S.C.A. as host, again welcoming the freshman girls in a different way. As every freshman looks back to those first few weeks of col- lege, he must remember those sometimes - aiding, sometimes - hampering handbooks — those were compiled and published by the S.C.A. Again in February the tradi- tional Fastnacht Social will be held as a combined pre-Lenten and Valentine celebration. Many students have enjoyed the past Campus Nights such as the one presented by Rabbi Rosen- burg about archeology and the Bible. A number of speakers, noted in their field, will present topics at future dates. One such occasion will occur during Re- ligious Emphasis week in April when a noted pastor will offer ideas on a topic chosen by the R. E. Committee of the S.C.A. The members of S.C.A. have an excellent opportunity to meet students from other colleges to discuss current topics at the many conferences held throughout the year. One of the most well at- tended conferences on the SCA calendar is the one at Buck Hill Falls. But, of course, the highlight of the S.C.A. *s work is the keeping of their foster child, Kim Hae Choi. They send him packages (Continued on Page 2) SU Journalism Class Conducts Paper Poll "What do you think the role o» the small college newspaper should be on campus?" This is one ol two principal questions which members of S.U.'s Journal- ism class have been asking edi- tors of college newspapers throughout the nation. The ques- tions are part of a project being carried on by the class, under the direction of Mr. Jeffrey Safford, professor of journalism. The purpose of the project is to discover the true purpose of the small college newspaper — that is, colleges with an enrollment of less than 2000. The class is try- ing to learn the methods employ- ed by editors throughout the na- tion by which they reach their reading public most successfully. Two hundred and fifty question- naires have been sent to colleges throughout the 50 states by the ten members of the class. Each student will study and decipher the answers which he receives and will then compile these an- swers into a term paper. This paper will give the views on the subject in a certain section of the country. All the papers covering the entire United States will then be bound into one booklet The finished booklet, describing the role of the small college news- paper and how the role is fulfill- ed, will then be made available to all editors of campus newspa- pers who desire a copy.

Yes, the students, faculty and friends of Susquehanna have done it again by packing Seibert Hall for the second Artist Series presenta- tion. For the over-capacity crowd we can offer nothing but praise and a thanks that at last the day of non-attendance is past. A large and grateful thank-you must also be given to the Artist Series Com- mittee for such fine programs. A situation existed at the Nash lecture that we hope will not occur in the future. Somehow we do not feel that the Horton Dining Hall and the Seibert Stage provide the best seating accommodations. They may, however, qualify for the "worst" title. At this point in the edi torial it would be possible to go off half-cocked about the expansion program, the need for a new auditorium, and the finances for such. Such an attitude would serve no valid purpose. Everyone on this campus who has ever attended any event in Sei- bert Chapel, whether by compulsion or otherwise, knows the need for a new auditorium-chapel. The plain fact is that such a building costs money, and money doesn't grow on trees. Nevertheless, the current seating situation cannot be allowed to continue. It is an insult to the speaker to place the audience on the platform behind him. It is an insult to guests and even campus people to set up seats in the Dining Hall. We suggest that the trial period is over. Certainly the people in charge of the programs must now realize that, given a fine Artist Series. Susquehannans will attend. If Dyer-Bennet and Ogden Nash don't prove this, then nothing ever will. What is the solution? Cer- tainly the Little Theater is the first thought to be crossed off the list. The most logical choice is the Alumni Gymnasium. Although not the most attractive building on campus, it has served admirably this year for Opening Convocation, Reformation and the Centennial program. Why not then for guest speakers"' Certainly a seating arrangement could be devised so that everyone would be able to hear and see with- out necessitating a large number of vacant chairs. A student body of 800 filled the Gym for Reformation and subtracting the 200 seats to pro- vide for a crowd the size of Ogden Nash's would not make the Gym look bare; but, it would provide a little leg room for all concerned. Even the auditorium at Selinsgrove High School is preferable to the Horton Dining Hall. Students seem to be able to find that institu- tion for basketball games, why not the Artist Series? The townspeople will have to travel to either place so there is no inconvenience there. Whatever course of action is taken we feel there is no question that something must be done. In January, Victor Reisel will visit the campus. This nationally known, syndicated columnist is a powerful figure. So pointed were his columns that he was the victim of an acid attack that permanently blinded him. He is a vigorous and outspoken American. We expect that the crowd that comes to his appearance will exceed the one for Ogden Nash. Now that student and local interest in the Artist Series has been excited, let us not put a damper on attendance by poor seat- ing facilities. Instead, let us use our resources to best advantage and open the way to ever bigger and better programs at SU. LB.

Thank you, SCA World Community Committee Council Opens Office For Student Body Use The Student Council is pleased to announce that as a result of the meeting held on Monday, De- cember 4th, students will be able to air their views on campus life in a permanent Student Council room which is located adjacent to Dean Steltz's office in the Ad- ministration building. A Student Council representative will be in > the office on Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and on Tues- days and Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. It has become necessary for the Student Organization to have fa- cilities of this sort in order that files and records of the past and present activities of the Student Council will be at the students' disposal. Any student may make suggestions for the improvement of campus life, request activities and functions for the students, and question the activities of the Council. President, Walter Fox. has expressed his confidence in the new venture with hopes that the student body will feel free to entertain their thoughts and ideas to the Student Council rep- resentatives so that there will be complete student representation on campus. Horton Dining Hall Gdls French Table For Thurs, Lunches * "Passez-moi le sucre, s'il vous plait." This is a request which may be heard any Thursday at lunch in the Horton Dining Hall of Susquehanna University. Thursday, December 7, the stu- dents of Mr. Re's two elementary and one intermediate French classes initiated a French Table in the dining hall. Various stu- dents had the opportunity to eat at this table throughout the time from 12 to 2, when they were still conversing in the tongue of France. No longer may people say "It can't be done" because it has been done through the encourage- ment of Mr. Re and the enthu?i- asm of the students. Any stu- dents on campus who wish to im- prove his or her conversational French may join those at the French Table any Thursday at noon. It has been suggested by the initiators of this project that a French Table be used every day of the week. In this way language will become more meaningful to all students in and outside of the classroom. Students will have a greater international feeling. Hassinger Echoes Christmas Spirit The whole dorm participated in the Hassinger Christmas Seren- ade December 12 at which time ten areas on campus were seren- aded by the Dorm under the di- rection of Sheila McKenna. A banner was made by the girls to identify their spirit as they sang the strains of "Silver Bells," "White Christmas." "Adeste Fi- deles," "What Child Is This?." "Angels We Have Heard On High," and closed by joyously singing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." The Dorm has been grateful to Mrs. Miller, Housemother, and Jane Kump, Assistant Housemo- ther, who both have supported the members in their projects and ideas. Honi Soit Qui Mai Y Pense (Or, "Shame to him who thinks evil of it".) There is, surprisingly enough, a world full of people, problems and conditions outside the ivy walls of SU. That world exists from day to day in an atmosphere somewhat broader than what we find here at school. Although The Crusader is just as guilty as the student population in allowing this world to pass by unnoticed, an exception is about to be made. For the past several weeks there has existed in our country a situation which we feel to be anachronistic. That situation centers around a single word — CENSORSHIP. Although we do not refer specifically to Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, that book should be mentioned since it seems to have touched off the recent controversy. Our point is not concerned with any individual book but with the whole principle of censorship. We can find nothing but disagreement with that archaic institution. The primary qucvon is "Who is to decide what is, or is not, censorable?" How can a group of ladies in Pontiac, Michigan, determine whether we should read Pearl Buck's, The Good Earth? Neither can we see their objection to The Scarlet Letter of Hawthorne or Edmond's, Drums Along the Mohawk. (After all, how many teen age girls do you know that have gone seeking a friendly Indian to relieve the tedium of being a half-wit?) What should be our position as college students? We feel that our course is to object and protest literary censorship in this form at every possible point. Censorship is an individual matter. On both the personal and family level, censorship is a private affair. Granted everyone's gardener is not the equal of Lady Chatterleys' ; there are still critics who feel the book is literary art. If it is art, then it should not be repressed. If it is not art, it will die a natural death with reams of other erotic literature. The prime danger, we feel, is the spread of this attitude of sup- pression. If we eliminate such classics as The Scarlet Letter, then where will the line be drawn? Could the words, "Banned in Boston" become "Banned in the U.S.A."? We feel that such a development would be catastrophic. Censorship is not new. Great names like Voltaire, Rousseau, Lu- ther and Erasmus have had their works purged. (This is not to inti- mate that Henry Miller or D. H. Lawrence is the equal of any of the above.) When a nation resorts to wholesale censorship it evidences weaknesses both on the part of itself and its citizens. It is our hope that the mature intelligent people in this country far outnumber the narrow-minded bigots. We further hope that censorship will always remain a personal thing. Perhaps there is one benefit that can be derived from the current controversy. Teenagers may be driven to read the works of Buck, Hawthorne and Edmonds and, in their search for the jazzy parts, accidently pick up a little culture. L.B.

REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED Thursday, December 14, 1961— THE CRUSADE R-Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Now that the 1961-62 basketball season is underway, and the Cru- saders of John Barr are sporting a 3 won, 2 lost record we're going to take a look at the Susquehanna squad and see just what can be expected of them this season. Last year the Crusaders in combining a 17-6 record were led by Clark Mosier who threw in 486 points for an average of 21.1 per game. Mosier, who has a terrific shooting eye, relies mainly on a jump shot from any spot on the court. This, plus his great driving ability, have placed him, only 17 points short of that coveted 1,000 point mark going into Monday night's game with Lebanon Valley. Strangely enough, this junior guard has come a long way during the past three years. After high school graduation he attended Mar- grave Military Academy where he was unable to make the first team. Now he is on the verge of becoming one of the top performers ever to don the Orange and Maroon. Captain-elect Bill Moore was the second leading scorer on last year's squad with a total of 312 points; Moore was also the number two rebounder, pulling 256 rebounds off the boards. Moore, a 6/5", 225 lb. junior forward presents a tough obstacle to move under the boards. At the age of 29, Moore is looked upon by Coach Barr as the team leader, the guy who holds the Crusaders to- gether. Here is a ballplayer who is to be admired not only for his ability, but also for his love of the game. Not many fans realize that besides attending classes where he maintains a B- average, and then spending three hours at practice, this ballplayer is forced to work every night to support a wife and four children. The third starter back from last year's squad is Jim Gallagher, a boy who played his high school ball at two different schools. This writer, who was fortunate to have played on the same squad with Gallagher during his senior year, can readily state that a fierce de- termination to succeed has placed the junior forward where he is today. Playing his first three years of varsity ball at a very small high school, Gallagher had almost no chance to develop until his final year in high school. Since he has entered college, the 6-5, 205 pound Gal- lagher has continued to blossom, and last year led the Ban-men in field goal percentage (61.9) and rebounds (355). The lone starter on the team from our-of-state, soph Tom McCar- rick hails from Elmira, N.Y., and at 6'8" is the tallest player in S.U. hoop annals. Last season McCarrick played part-time at both the forward and pivot' spots. His ability aids the Crusader cause under the nets both as an offensive and defensive threat. Coach Barr feels that with a bit more aggressiveness, 'Tiny Tom" could rank among the finest. Joe Billig, a 6-2 guard from Milton, Pa., supplies what S.U. was in desperate need of this year — a backcourt man to fill the position of last year's co-captain George Moore. Billig's jump shot and good ball-handling ability are expected to aid the Crusaders to post another winning record. Not many people realize that "happy-go-lucky" Joe was offered a baseball contract by three major league baseball teams while still in high school and turned them down in favor of a college education. Clark "Duke" Schenck, a "big" 6'3", 220 pounder from Robesonia, Pa., ,is the most improved hoopster on the squad since last year. Schenck, who saw little action last year as a freshman, has moved with such strides that he is now considered by Coach Barr as being a sixth "starter". This boy may easily turn out to be one of the top rebounders on this year's squad. Because of space limitations the remainder of the Crusaders will be described in future editions. Kickoff Return Aids Lambda Chi Alpha To Retain Football Cup Last week the Green and White of Lambda Chi Alpha defeated the Red and White of Theta Chi 7-6 to win the 1961 intramural football championship. Both teams finished the regular season with identical 6-1 records to set the stage for the playoff on University Field. The contest, refereed by Coach- es Sekanovich and Windish, saw the boys from Theta Chi draw first blood when QB Dave Smith found Paul Tressler alone in the end zone with an aerial to make it 6-0. On the ensuing kickoff Lambda Chi's quarterback Sam Williams, behind some great blocking, went the length of the field to score the touchdown that clinched the victory. Harpur, Wilkes Test Hoopsters This Week Harpur College of Binghamton, N.Y.. invades Crusaderland to- night for the first basketball game between the two qintets. The invaders, who played an in- dependent schedule last year, closed the season with an 11-6 won-lost record. They scored 1204 points last year for a 70.8 points-per-game average. Game time tonight is 8:00 p.m. in the Selinsgrove High School gym. The Crusader hoopsters will en- tertain the Colonels of Wilkes College. Thursday evening, same time same station. The Colonels come into the game with four games of their nineteen game schedule under their belts.

See story below. SU Choir Presents Christmas Concert, Response and Praise Are Overwhelming Now on the S.U. Campus, a generalized, rebellious attitude has arisen. Students are determined to get what they want — and no one knows quite what that is. If there are any goals, they have certainly been kept well camouflaged by a deluge of cuts at individuals and by vague remarks about "restrictions", "dictatorial practices", and the like. Friends, if you're going to fight, fight. — But know first what you want to get out of it. Otherwise, you'll get the fight itself, and nothing more. Are your intentions really as dastardly that you must slink about under the cover of darkness, posting signs so vague that they mean nothing at all? I'm wary when people don't sign the things they write: it hints that they are a very small minority, and quite unsure of them- selves. There are some people on campus willing to say what they think, and sign their names to it. One such person is Peter Beiger. His article follows. • » * As most American small colleges progress in generating a most intellectual environment for their students; archaic, traditional Sus- quehanna University obstinately persists in suppressing it. In essence and in reality. Susquehanna University is nothing more than a glorified high school! The contemporary solution to this condition is to elevate the intel- lect on our campus. It is embarrassing to say that our administration has clearly displayed its inability to contribute to the development of this intellectual atmosphere in its own university. There are two leading reasons for the vacuum of enlightenment which prevails. The administrations unconcealed lack of respect for the students is one prominent factor. It openly denies them the basic liberty to which they have a sacred right as students. The administra- tion fails to perceive that, with respect, the students will assume re- sponsibility. If an unlimited cut system were instituted, for example, there would certainly be decreased attendance for a short while: but then after the students began to appreciate the importance of their own desires for an education, they would return to class with eager- ness and intent. Those who persisted in cutting classes would be elim- inated, not only because of their ignorance, but also because of their lack of intent. The administration fails to perceive this, as it fails to perceive an honor system, as it fails to perceive unrequired non-compulsory chapel, as it fails to perceive wet campus. It is a sad commentary on the administration that it tragically fails to see tho advantage of placing genuine respect before childish and harass- ing authoritarianism Another affair too ridiculous and personal to discuss in this article is the manner in which the administration suc- ceeds in forcing its ancient and absurd regulations upon the students. Many argue that the students do not deserve respect; this is a valid criticism. The second major reason for the lack of an intellec- tual setting cradles within the students' callous indifference and guilty ignorance A student must have intent; he must love this experience of education. If the student does not, he should not be here; but he is here, and he is ruining the championed cause. He is as damaging in his way, as the administration is in its way. The administration must raise the standards of admission to eliminate this breed from entering the college. There is much more to this cause than quality points. There is enlightenment, lecture, discussion, freedom, respect, and all else which makes college an authentic experience. There is you, the student, loving every second of this experience. You must be gluttons, fighting for and claiming the honor of an education. Students' Don't permit this administration to discourage and inhibit you! Peter Beiger. * * * * * • • * • * * * * * Well, there, at least, is some definite, signed, statement of belief. I don't agree with all of it, but I think Peter is to be congratulated for saying what he does believe. Next? The Susquehanna University Choir made its annual Christmas Concert presentation here Sun- day, December 10, 1961. The Choir, under the fine direction of Mr. John P. Magnus, offer selec- tions of both a sacred and secular nature. The program opened with a short motet by Senfl, "Et filius datus est nobis". Next followed the "Christmas Cantata" by Friederich Buchner and then a fine interpretation of Bach's "Al- leluia" from Motet #VI. The second section of the pro- gram included two sets of old Discussion Groups List Fri. Meetings Discussions or "bull-sessions" are being held every Friday eve- ning in the Faculty Lounge in the. basement of Seibert Hall. These discussions are open to all men and women on campus. This is not another club or organization, and membership is not taken. It is a gathering of interested stu- dents: various faculty members are invited by the students to help throw new light onto the sub- ject being discussed. Under the direction of a stu- dent moderator the informal dis- cussions have been on "The Way in Which People Abroad View the United States," "A New Look at Our Foreign Policy," and "The Younger Generation, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." With in- formation learned through litera- ture and periodicals, practical information through the experi- ence of students who have been abroad, and with many ideas of their own the students have been able to express themselves in these discussions. This past Friday evening Dr. Hans Wulf was the special guest of the bull-session. Through meet- ing men such as Dr. Wulf from Germany and through an ex- change of ideas, the students who have encouraged these discussions have a desire for a greater na- tional and internationally signifi- cant outlook. These students hope that perhaps the Susquehanna campus will initiate a debating team and an international club, as well as more informal discus- ( Continued on Page 5) English Carols. The first was, "Three Carols" by Peter Warlock and the second, "Fantasia on Christmas Carols" by R. V. Wil- liams. Accompaniment of this section of the program was pro- vided by the Brass and Percus- sion Ensemble. Following the intermission, the choir presented a series of well- known carols and Christmas songs. Wright's "Fanfare Noel" provided a gay. snappy opening to this section of the concert. Two traditional carols, "How Far Is It To Bethlehem" and "The Snow Lay On The Ground" followed; and then the choir presented, "The Little Drummer Boy." The old familiar "Winter Wonderland" and "The Christmas Song" sud- denly put on a new glow when sung by the University Choir. The grand finale featured the full choir and Brass and Percus- sion Ensemble in "Gloria in Ex- celsis" by Florence Jolley. The capacity crowd of over 500 gave the entire group a tremendous round of applause for the magnifi- cent performance of the final number. Outstanding solo work in the program was done by Lin- da Romig, Bonita Schaffer, and Robert Summer. LITTL E MAN O N ^ AMPU?

The contest, which featured some great shooting and good play under the boards, saw the Bullets' star performer Ron War- ner connect for 29 points. His teammate Parker hit for 17 to lead the G-burg five. S.U.'s attack was equally divid- ed as junior captain Bill Moore flipped in 17 points; Clark Mosier, who was held to his lowest output of the campaign, tallied 16; and sophomore guard Joe Billig con- tributed 14 points. The Bullets with Warner hitting for 13 points and Parker 11 held a halftime lead of 36-31. During the first twenty minutes of play Billig and Moore paved the way for the Barrmen with ten and nine points respectively. The top rebounders for the night on the S.U. squad were 6'5" Moore who hauled down 13 and Jim Gallagher who grabbed off nine. Susquehanna (60) F.G. FIs. T.

To take its place are the brisk, cold winds and hazy days of winter. Corresponding to nature's changes are those which are more evident to all of us here at Susquehanna. The mere mention of the word "sports" auto- matically sets off a chain reaction of thoughts. Be it the gridiron, the soccer field, or the hockey field; one comprehensible realization comes to mind. All are activities representa- tive of S.U., and each and every one of the earnest members composing these groups are fellow classmates. They play for the love of the game and the satisfaction of making their Alma Mater well-known. However, all is not in vain, for recognition is given, and this comes in the form of an awards assembly where presentations, representative of each activity are made. Also, at such an assembly, recognition is given to those who have achieved outstanding academic status in various areas. Susquehanna's Annual Fall Awards Assembly was held on Monday, December 11, in the gymnasium at 11 o'clock. The program was opened by Dr. Albert Zimmer who in turn in- troduced Mr. James Garrett. Coach Garrett proceeded to make all of the sports presenta- tions which included those from last spring and this fall. He also announced that a new system had been inaugurated, whereby first year varsity players would receive jackets and in succeeding years only have their names recognized. The J.V. men would also receive awards. Mr. Byron Hartman and several other members of the Sunbury Kiwanis Club were in- troduced next. Mr. Hartman again awarded the Bronze Hat Trophy to S.U. in view of the football team's victory at the Annual Charities Festival Game. Ben DiFrancesco accepted the trophy on behalf of the 1961 team. Mr. Hartman also presented Dr. Gustave Weber with a check for S.U.'s share in the financial returns of the game. Next, Dr. Weber spoke to the student body. He mentioned that a new addition was being constructed onto the gym which would improve its present facilities. He then intro- duced Mr. Simon Rhoads, an alumnus of Susquehanna, and representative of the Quarterback Club, who presented plaques to the senior members of the football team and to the coaches. It was also revealed that at a. previous meeting of the coaches and staff, Don Green had been named as the most valuable player of the 1961 season. The next presentations were made by Dr. Wilhelm Reuning to the scholarship winners. Dr. Armstrong followed with the Business Award, and concluding the program were Dean Steltz and Dr. Zimmer, who made the sorority and fraternity scholarship cups awards re- spectively.

ALPHA DELTA PI Many thanks to the residents of Alpha House who provided cof- fee and cookies, and to the broth- ers of Phi Epsilon for their offer of transportation when we seren- aded last week. Their gestures of kindness were warmly wel- comed on such a cold and blus- tery night. Heilman Hall was converted to a panorama of shot-guns and shanties when the A D Pi's and their dates converged on it last Saturday night. "Dog Patch" was the theme of the party, and everyone dressed in costumes typical of those seen in Al Capp's "Li'l Abner." Peggy Thoman and her decorations committee did a bang-up job by providing scenery which all but transported everyone to the remotest areas of backwoods country. The menu of hot dogs and cokes, real deli- cacies for the inhabitants of Dog Patch, was the responsibility of the food committee. Sister Peggy Biddies. Chairman. Entertain- ment, under the supervision of Sister Joyce Steinberg, was pro- vided by the sisters. Peggy Thom- an, Bette Davis, and Joyce Stein- berg sang; Penny Stamps and Toby Brodisch did a Dog Patch type ballet, and the seniors lost any sophistication they possessed when they rendered a rollicking number called, "They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me." The party was a success — no doubt about it. Basketball season is here again, and three athletic A D Pi's, Sis- ters Toby Brodisch, Jean Ewald, and Nancy Zook are once more spending some energy on the court. They are looking forward to another successful season, and we are all rooting for their team. This week has been a big, busy, and important one for our pledges. They are now participating in Friendship Week, a joyous time when the pledges and sisters re- main in close contact and when the pledges take some of the final steps toward sisterhood. In a very short time Joyce Lowry, Barbara Lovell, and Suzanne Trefny will know what it is like to have a wonderful dream come true. PHI EPSILON Most of the Phi Epsilon Broth- ers attended Ogden Nash's lecture last Thursday evening, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The Christmas spirit has enter- ed the Phi Epsilon house thanks to Brother Jim Sandahl, who is working hard to decorate the Christmas tree. Brother Jim is doing a fine job, even though he forgot that Christmas lights need electricity. Jim had the electri- cal outlet at the top of the tree. The Brothers are eagerly an- ticipating the winter dance to be held on December 16. Social chairman Tony Colombet is to be congratulated for his fine work this year. Phi Epsilon has been swept by the twist craze during the past week. As a matter of fact Broth- er Brian Bolig is contemplating changing his major to the twist. Congratulations are due to Brother Jim Parks who is sing- ing in the Susquehanna Univer- sity Choir. Phi Epsilon wishes to thank Alpha Delta Pi and Kappa Delta for their splendid serenades dur- ing the past week. The Brothers also wish the best of luck to Susquehanna's basket- ball team under Coach Barr. THETA CHI The Theta Chi intramural foot- ball team was the "finest intra- mural team I have ever seen on an intramural field." These words of praise coming from Coach James Garrett were at least par- tial consolation for the heart- breaking 7-6 loss to a determined Lambda Chi Alpha team in the championship game of the 1961 intramural season. This titanic tussle was one of the finest games played in at least four seasons and most probably more. Paul Tressler can not be given too much credit for his masterful job of welding the team together as both a fine defensive and of- fensive threat. Through his fight- ing spirit this year's Big Red rolled up more touchdowns and more points in one game than in any previous contest on the S.U. intramural field. Coach Garrett called the team "the best coach- ed" intramural squad he's ever seen, and we are proud to agree. On the lighter side, the "Dream Girl Ball" will be presented on Saturday evening amid the tra- ditional Christmas decorations. This annual event will see the crowning of Theta Chi's "girl of ALPHA XI DELTA On Friday, December 8, the Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta held a Parcel Post Sale in the lounge. The Sisters would like to thank the students for making this pro- ject a huge success. The Parcel Post Sale was planned by Sister Donna Zeilman. In preparing for Alpha Xi Del- ta's Christmas festivities, the Sisters are presently practicing for their Christmas Serenade, which will be held Tuesday eve- ning, December 19. The Sisters plan to present a medley of fa- miliar Christmas carols for the student body, under the direction of song leader, Linda Wassam. The Sisters are also making plans for their annual Christmas Party, which will be held in the sorority room on Wednesday eve- ning, December 20. Plans for the party are under the direction of Social Chairman, Carol Hobbes. our dreams." Who she will be, shall remain a mystery until the announcement by Prexy Les But- ler during the evening's festivi- ties. By the way, Les has also been asked by "Old Saint Nick" to find him a suitable uniform for the party. KAPPA DELTA Hustle and bustle filled the air as the Keppa Deltas began a busy day on December 6th by aiding with the registration of blood donors at the Blood Mobile. Many of the Sisters also donated their blood. The evening of the same day found the Sisters in the chill of the night air performing their Winter Serenade. The highpoint of the sing was the lighting of the "Flaming KD" in front of Hassinger Hall. On Saturday evening, Decem- ber 9th, "Winter Wonderland" be- came a reality during the KD co-ed party. An authentic sleigh and make-believe reindeer car- ried the Sisters and their dates through a picturesque evening of fun and entertainment. Music was provided by "Gary's Group" from Bucknell. Sunday night the Christmas Concert was given by the choir. Sisters Candy Fink, Lynn Pfister and Marge Rayner participated in this fine event. Belated congratulations are -in order to Sister Candy Fink who directed the activities of Slave Day and the Slave Dance, held on December 1st and tod, respec- tively. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Last week the Lambda Chi Al- pha intramural football team once again won the intramural football championship by down- ing the powerful "Red" team from Theta Chi. Congratulations are extended to the members of the team: Sammy Williams, Al Aungst, Fred Hauser, Lynn Sny- der, Bob Squires, George Kindon, Norm Harris, Larry Kachelreiss, Bob Brenner, Dick Rowe, and Doug Spotts. This team is now preparing to face the Lambda Chi members of the varsity foot- ball team in the annual Bunder Bowl sponsored by the house. With the football championship under their belt, the brothers are getting ready for what looks like a tough intramural basketball season. A Christmas dinner and dance will be held at the house this Sat- urday. The evening's festivities should be very enjoyable and will, undoubtedly, put everyone in the Christmas spirit. To com- plete the busy weekend, the broth- ers, on Sunday afternoon, along with the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi, will have a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the Selinsgrove area. Congratulations to brother Bob Squires, who recently took first place in the Open Thanksgiving Invitational Weightlifting Cham- pionships held in Pittsburgh. PHI MU DELTA Phi Mu Delta will hold its an- nual Christmas party on Satur- day, December 16, with the hon- orable Mr. Santa Claus as guest of honor. Coach Ned Coates has his intra- mural championship basketball squad primed for a highly com- petitive season beginning this week. Returning veterans to the intramural hardwood are Al Kiel, Jim Van Zandt, and Bob Curtis, all of whom wore the orange and black last season, along with Joe Joyce, Al Thomas, Rog Trexler, and Mike Rupprecht, members of opposing squads last year, and rookie Frank Trenery, acquired from the intercollegiate ranks. Mu Alpha chapter announces the relinquishing of one fraternity pin from Ken Fish to Nancy Hess of Kappa Delta. Mr. John Magnus, honorary brother of Phi Mu Delta will ap- pear at Town Hall in New York City on December 28. The Bass- Baritone's recital will be attended by approximately 18, of the broth- erhood. George Kirchner of Theta Chi gets this scribe's unofficial nod as the best one man wrecking crew Phi Mu Delta faced during the just ended intramural grid season. Congratulations to Wayne Mi- nami on his twentieth anniver- sary. A glistening "Winter Wonderland" provides a seasonal atmosphere as the Kappa Deltas and their dates sparkle with Christmas spirit at KD's Christmas Party last Saturday evening.

"And It Came To Pass . . ." "And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree . . . ." The words of the Christmas story are so often repeated that they are among the most well-known in the Christian world. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." This was the first Christmas. A Christmas that centered around a small baby, a manger, some shepherds and the three wise men. Now, nearly two-thousand years later, what is Christmas? Per- haps this quotation will help explain the modern version of Christmas, "IBM subsidiary's data-processing machine plays carols on a punched- card system." The modern Christmas is a commercialized chaos. We all realize the commercial aspect of Christmas and many, of us react against it. The plain fact is that though commercialism has reached deplorable heights the genuine and ancient spirit still pierces through all the gaudiness. The Christmas tree is lovely as are all the decorations and multitude of gifts that have been bought. Yet, let us never lose sight of the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas is not a day as such. It represents the birth of man- kind's noblest dreams. It is the birth of belief, a very code of life. That code is one of hope and faith and love. On Christmas day the whole world is transformed from gloom and woe into a life of hope and joy. If you ever doubt this, simply look into the eyes of a young child on that day of days and relive your faith in him. Christmas is everlasting. It is a hope that has never nor will ever die. Despite failures, bitter wars, and world tensions that hope is re- born annually in the hearts and minds of millions of people everywhere. We of The Crusader staff wish each and every one of you the mer- riest Christmas ever and extend wishes for a fine and prosperous New Year. We would, however, make one request. This Christmas won't you pause to remember? Stop for a moment amid the wrappings and color of Christmas day and give thanks to Him who made it possible. Christmas is a wonderful day but let us make it more than just a day. Let us carry the three key thoughts of Christmas, faith, hope, and love, into our everyday lives the year round. Let us remember on Christmas day a tiny baby. Mary and Joseph, three kings from a distant land and all the rest that was a part of that first Christmas. Christmas should be a quiet day. A day of peace and quiet in a wor- ried world. Perhaps if we work at love and faith and hope as earn- estly as we work at hate, the closing words of Saint Luke's great story may some day become a reality: "And on earth, peace, good will, toward men." LB The Kissing Branch: Origin of Mistletoe Though it's only a little green branch with a few chalk white berries the Christmas mistletoe means a great deal to many peo- ple. It is hung, sometimes quite deviously but more often, openly, in the hopes that some unsus- pecting young lass will succumb to its mystic powers. Just where did this delightful custom origin- ate and what is its history? The legends and beliefs about the mistletoe exist from Italy to distant Japan. It is first men- tioned in the Aeneid where it is called "the golden bough" and is used by Aeneas to safe-guard his journey through the under- world. The bough was originally used as a medicinal herb alleged to have quite powerful functions. It was used for anything from cur- ing barren cattle to securing world peace. The Druids of Bri- tain felt the bough was allied with the Winter Solstice (that point in the year when the sun is fartherest from the earth). In the dead of winter when the Sol- stice occurred, it's bright green and white stood out on the brown and barren oak. Mistletoe was used in early Europe to decorate doors, the be- lief being that the bitterest enemy would become a friend upon pass- ing under it. Finally it is to the Scandanavians that the biggest amount of gratitude is owed. These wonderful people made the "golden bough" become the "kiss- ing bough". We might add that this Christ- mas season when you're stand- ing under the mistletoe don't launch into a history of its uses and significance. Take a tip from the Scandanavians — Actions speak louder than words! ! ! Twas the Night Before Christmas - SU Style Twas the week before Christmas and all through the campus, Not a creature was stirring not even a Pinky-type "ruckus". The stop signs were hung by the road with great care, In hopes that the frat men would pay extra fare. The students were huddled all snug in their beds, While visions of finals did dance in their heads. When out on the campus there arose such a clatter; The Deans and students all arose to see what was the matter. And what to their wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh pulled by eight tiny bulldozers, I fear. With a little old driver so lively and quick. We knew in a moment it was Clarence, the wit. More rapid than turtles his cours- ers they came, To the top of Seibert Porch and eternal fame. The story is ended when St. Nick does depart, But a word he has left us, from deep in his heart, The vacation's too short, this we all know; Yet, there's still time enough for the Christmas glow. And so we exclaim ere this pass- es out of sight, HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! Story of Traditions: Christmas Tree, Yule Logs and Saint Nick For the first three centuries after the birth of Christ, Christ- mas was celebrated in conjunc- tion with two other festivities. It was not until the fourth century that the Romans adopted the date, December 25, as the day of cele- bration. The Christmas tree was origin- ated by the Germans. It was felt that the tree, green throughout the winter, was a symbol of strength. Trees were first used in this country by the Hessians during the revolution. They were formally adopted by Great Bri- tain through the action of Ger- man Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, in 1841. The Yule log is a Scandanavian development. The term Jul meant festival to the Scandanavians and was the celebration of our Christ- mas. Jul logs were lit and burn- ed for the Twelve Days of Christ- mas season and thus became the Yule log and Yuletide in English. In the fourth century the bishop of Turkey gave gifts to poor child- ren in his area during the Christ- mas season and thus became the first Santa Claus. The Norse god, Odin, was alleged to ride the skies and deliver gifts. The Dutch translated the name of the Turk- ish bishop Saint Nicholas, to Sint- erklaas and before long the word had corrupted into the English, Santa Claus. The Germans be- lieved that the gifts at Christmas were those of the Christ child or Christkindel hence Kris Kringle. A Letter To Old Saint Nick From Susquehanna Students by Betsy Bunting & Dave Koch Dear Santa, We have found here at Susquehanna some students who have yet not written to you, so we took it upon ourselves to be your little help- ers and asked the intellectual S.U. students, "What do you want for Christmas?" Tom Samuel: What have you got to offer? eds. note— We'll never tell! Cathy Mackey: What I want doesn't come in packages. eds. note— What's it come in? Jim Gibney and Sally Stevenson: looking at each other, shrugging their shoulders . . . CENSORED. eds note— Action speaks louder than words. Norm Harris: A car and also a hotel — When asked why the ho- tel, Norm said to rent rooms, what else? eds note— It sounds good but we wonder. , • Judy Rhodes: a good friend. eds note— does sex matter? Walt Fox: Peace of mind. June Lawrence. A new pair of pajamas and a very eventful Christmas vacation. eds note— Was that "and" or "along with"! Barry Markowitz— What's Christ- mas? eds. note— It's hard to explain, Barry. Ray Masullo: I want cheer for everyone in the world (whether it be scotch, bourbon, or rye). eds. note— Thank You. You realize Santa there were many other wishes for incidentals such as: cars, boyfriends, girl- friends, good grades, trips to far away places, and there were even some who wanted nothing. Hope we have helped you — be good to everyone this Christmas. A Christmas Wish by Pat Goetz At Christmas time it's so easy to ask for All one wants and a little more The day becomes nearer, the list becomes longer Of nothing else can one's thoughts be stronger. But I'm in a dilemma, a pickle, a spot For it's not what I want, but what I want not Or rather I want it, but here's the out Whatever I want, I want it without. Now here's what I'm after, a world without sins Where everyone's good and there's nothing but wins One that makes each man equal and sure of the same Thus eliminating the need of failure and pain. Ups without downs, good without bad, peace without war All circling the globe right through to its core And give, oh give me some news without trace Of rockets and doctors' opinions and space. This order I know will be quite hard to fill Even though each item requires no special skill I realize granting my requests will be some feat But to end it now would make jt incomplete. I ask now for a college that all can be proud With an air of contentment and no "lonely crowd" Include I must a desire for everyone to see How important it is to consider all and not just "me." I ask for a student body that has not one gripe One that knows that it is not always right An administration that knows what's best And can view with interest each and every request. For these are the things that would pleasure my soul To find in a stocking without — please — a hole. The Little Town of Bethlehem Eds. Note: The Christmas Story as told in the 2nd Chapter of St. Luke, verses M4, is one of the most beautiful stories ever written. We re- produce it here for the continued enjoyment of all, in this Christmas season. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David; ) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with Child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accom- plished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN. Christmas In Foreign Lands As Viewed By SU Students by Carolyn Moyer What types of Christmas celebrations have some of our fellow students at Susquehanna experienced? While in India for a period of time, Adele Breese, experienced a "shipped in Christmas." Although the Indians are not of the Christian religion, and therefore, do not celebrate Christmas, trees were shipped in to help Adele and her family carry out their beliefs and customs. While Bonnie Bell and her family were in Panama. Bonnie played a game of tennis on Christ- mas day. . "Christmas is Puerto Rico is more joyous than in America," said Miguel Mercado. Miguel ex- perienced a mixture of the Span- ish, native, and Western customs in the Puerto Rican Christmas. Santa Claus ushers in the Amer- icanized Christmas December 25, but the height of gift-giving is January 6, the celebration of the coming of the Wise Men. Miguel said, "The children get gifts — not the adults." Although Miguel has been in the United States for five years, he still remembers the variety of foods shared with the neigh- bors and the house to house carol- ing. Banana PASTELES and barbeque pig are the two main Christmas dishes. AQUINALDOS —the Puerto Rican Christmas carols or folk songs— are sung by a male chorus with a female soloist accompanied by guitars and native instruments. The carolers carry a miniature show- case of the nativity with a candle in the middle of it. To celebrate the adoration of ^he Child in the nativity scene, the people listen- ing to the carolers give a small amount of money. Miguel wanted to note the great contrast in the people of Puerto Rico at Easter when these deeply religious people are extremely somber. The Spanish influence makes them an imaginative and humble group of people. Carl Schaffrath has experienc- ed Christmas in Germany similar to the Christmas in the United States. There was the same amount of religious emphasis, al- though there was not as much commercialization in Germany. The shop windows were decorat- ed, but there were no long gar- lands handing in the streets, not- ed Carl. He made the point that he has not been in Germany for six years, and in reading the ads in the German newspapers he has found that perhaps there is great- er commercialization in Christ- mas today due to the American influence. Marian Houser said that there is no difference between the Christmas festival as she experi- enced it in Canada in comparison with her American Christmas celebrations. Much understanding of the lives of people in other parts of the world may be obtained through talking with students on our own campus— students who have been born in other countries or who have visited these people with other types of customs and cultural influences. "Merry Christmas" does not imply the same attitudes and customs in all lands— but it universally means "Peace on earth: good will to- ward men." WHERE FRIENDS MEET To Eat When Away From Home THE LAMP POST WHERE SUSQUEHANNANS MEET Abb Shaffer, Proprietor Selinsgrove-Sunbury Highway Christmas, A View From the Day After (Adaption of article written by Corey Ford) The joys of Christmas! Stu- dents are home for the holiday activities. There is holly and mistle-toe and carolers sing in the swirling snow. There is noth- ing like Christmas except, per- haps, the night after Christmas. On this evening, the excitement has diminished and thus begins the long somewhat tedious job that is not the most enviable por- tion of Christmas. That job? Cleaning up. There is a mountainous pile of gift wrappings in the center of the floor. These aren't to be thrown away but neatly folded and smoothed out. Gummed stickers are pried off of tissue paper and penciled messages erased from gift tags. Little boxes are placed in larger boxes which are thrown into the attic (it's already bulging with last year's boxes). Those things which cannot be salvaged are thrown into the fire place to be burned. This includes one fur-lined mitten, the direc- tions for dad's do-it-yourself bar- beque, and an envelope contain- ing $20 sent by Uncle Bill. A match is lit to the excelsior, pro- ducing a blast that singes the paint off the mantle. If there were a sudden clatter on the roof now, it wouldn't be Santa Claus but the fire department arriving to combat the chimney blaze. Then finally, Christmas is over, but the question arises, "When is Christmas over?" Some say that the Christmas tree should be taken down on New Year's Day. Others claim that it should remain until the Twelfth Night. Still others leave it up until the following year and save themselves a lot of trouble. But then, Junior is packed off to college once more and things slowly return to normal. Only dad is left holding the bag for he'll be paying those bills 'til next December. 1he Old limwt. Wednesday, December 20, 1961-THE CRUSADER— Pas* 3 Mr. Victor Riesel, Courageous Labor Columnist, Visits SU Monday, January 8, 8:00 PM MR. VICTOR RIESEL On January 8, 1961, the Susquehanna campus will have a rare treat. One of America's most outspoken and courageous columnists, Victor Riesel, will speak to students and friends of the University. The lecture will be held in Seibert Hall at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Riesel is a nationally syndi- cated columnist whose attacks on labor are among the most dy- namic ever published. So vigor- ous and hard-hitting was his cam- paign that on April 5, 1956, he was the victim of an acid attack that permanently blinded him. However, in Mr. Riesel's own words, "The acid hit my eyes but not my mind, my spirit or my backbone." Victor Riesel was born and rais- ed in New York's lower East side among crime and violence. His father died as a result of beatings suffered when he campaigned for honest unionism. Victor Riesel grew up with unions. He has seen their every form and function and he knows them as well as any person in the country today. Mr. Riesel has exposed racke- teers and Communists. He names names and puts facts with the names. He does not pull his punches but hits, and hits hard. His nation-wide column has ap- peared in over 230 papers across the country. His lecture is a must for every thinking college student, for every American. His story Is one of raw courage. "Kids expect more than when I was a boy." My Neighbors Riesel Views A Labor Confab BAL HARBOUR, Fla., Dec 8. It would be more exciting to report the series of secret meetings Jimmie Hoffa has had recently with some of his enemies in mid-Man- hattan and in the center of Washington, D.C., during which he boasted of his manpower and strength and urged his opponents to stop fighting him for it was futile. But I thrust from me the temptation to be cloak and daggerish and I insist that the basic story at the AFL-CIO convention here begins with a heliocopter ride for an itinerant Cabinet member known as Arthur Goldberg .... Obviously, Arthur Goldberg was on a great mission for John F. Kennedy. This mission is seems to me, is to get the labor leaders to hold the wage line and back up open trade with competitive nations such as Japan, though some industries and therefore their workers, will be hard hit. Kennedy and Goldberg aslo, of course, want to keep the politically energetic labor movement from splintering or yielding to Hoffa pressure .... Then up rose the department's leader, husky Paul Hall, who switch- hits when he talks. He can outcuss any sailor and outanalyze any maritime economist. And he hit hard at Goldberg. He said that the American sailor wanted to get some of the jobs and sail some of the ships carrying U.S. freight to foreign ports .... The AFL-CIO high command itself, in a report to the 800 delegates, recommenced a shortened work week; 'an expansionary Federal budget policy'; a policy of monetary ease with low income rates, and 'rising real incomes to provide adequate family buying power ... to "Santa used to seem old to maintain growing mass consumer markets.'

WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragle What really goes into a great work of art? Long hours of tedious planning? Research? Acute skill? Not always: scientists tell us that a book could eventually be written by a chimpanzee poking ran- domly at a typewriter. In view of this fact, it isn't really hard to be- lieve that many works of art are accidents. I am particularly reminded of two friends. One wrote a hasty composition while watching television, and as a result, won a scholar- ship. The other greatly impressed his high school by writing a paper which he didn't even fully believe. Both were very much surprised. I hypothesize that the poem was never really intended to read, "A rose is a rose, is a rose." It seems more likely that there was some sort of mechanical problem in Gertrude Stein's dictation ma- chine, (perhaps a scratched recording disk) which resulted in her secretary's hearing, "A rose is . . . (click!) ... A rose is . . . (click!) ... A rose .... (at this point, the machine obviously breaks com- pletely, and Gertrude has done it again). Perhaps the best-known incident of this type involves "The Night Before Christmas." The author, a prominent Hebrew scholar, never expected it to be published: he wrote it only for the benefit of his family. To have had it published would have meant a lowering of prestige. People would have stopped buying his Hebrew-English Lexicon. Nevertheless, the poem found its way into print, and today Clement Clarke Moore is remembered not for his lexicon, but for "The Night Before Christmas." Save your old doodles, class notes, and grocery lists. They may someday be widely acclaimed. But you're probably asking yourself, "How did 'The Night Before Christmas' ever get out? Who was the scoundrel who did in poor old Moore?" No one knows. But it might have been another Hebrew Lexicog- rapher, trying to discredit the competitor's product, and who, when he found out that greater fame is achieved by poets than by Lexicograph- ers, probably committed suicide — or became a poet. If we really wanted to put the finger on someone, we might investigate people who made such a change. But why look for someone to blame?

WINNICKS AUTO PARTS Rt. 122 — 3 Miles East of Sunbury 7 MHes from Selinsflreve AT 6-6439 Dear Editors, In last week's edition of The Crusader an article appeared which was in essence an expose of gripes of which a sound basis was lacking. This article and the general atmosphere of discon- tent of segments of the student body against the aclministration needs to be commented on. Why don't students wise up to the fact that the administration has a good side too? Too often critical students look for those things in the administration which are against their own selfish and im- mature ways and interpret them as infractions against "student respect," when in essence these childish and harassing, authori- tarian "regulations," as they are called by the discontented stu- dents, are in reality merely de- signed to make our education more worthwhile. The gripes and general discontent of these "Rabble-rousers" is actually a rebellion against their own un- stable and immature personali- ties and an attempt to put the blame on someone else. Let's face it — if we show the administration that we are ma- ture, intellectually seeking, co- operative students, they will give us more and more freedom in al- most any phase of college life. Look for the good things in Sus- quehanna University — that's what you did when you applied here, and that's what you do when you go back to your home towns and brag about it. Robert Breitwieser Dear Mr. Butler: As everyone of us who has drooled over the erotic episodes of Lady Chatterley's Lover remem- bers so vividly, Mellors, to whom you referred in your recent edi- torial was indeed, not the garden- er, but the gamekeeper. The next time you read D. H. Law- rence's controversial master- piece, please read more closely. Sincerely yours, James A. Delong Ed. note: Evidently we did not read said "masterpiece" quite closely enough. Maybe it just didn't stick, but at any rate we stand corrected with thanks. "Yes, Virginia, There Is . . ." Eds. note: On September 27, 1897, Virginia O'Hanlon wrote the follow- ing note to the editor of the New York Sun: "Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in the Sun it's so.' Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?" The reply to this query has become a classic in Christ- mas literature. Thanks to the co-operation of the Susquehanna Library staff we are able to reprint that famous editorial here. Dear Editors, It seems to me that students in today's colleges and universi- ties are always complaining and yelling about something or other. Often times they have no idea of what they want and have even less of an idea of how to go about getting it. Therefore, I think that a few things need to be ad- vocated which will clear up this whole matter and make our little lives a lot happier. I advocate: 1) off track betting and a bookie joint in every dorm; 2) not only a wet campus but beer (Budweiser) in the water faucets and scotch in the "milk" ma- chines; 3) an administration which is not conscientious in the least; 4) a Crusader with at least some sort of censorship. Plus many more. I realize that some of these proposals are a little out, but at least I had the guts to come out and say what I felt in a concrete fashion. Charlie "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been af- fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age . They do not be- lieve except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or child- ren's, are little. In this great universe of our's, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasp- ing the whole of truth and knowl- edge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith, then, no poetry, no romance to make tol- erable this existence We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Clausl You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus com- ing down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise in- side, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, not even the unit- ed strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view — and pic- ture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Vir- ginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of child- hood."

Although Clark Mosier, S.U.'s high flying ace was held to 9 points, Jim Gallagher took over the scoring chores for the eve- ning as he fired 20 markers through the cords. "Duke" Schenck also hit double figures for the Crusaders with 10 points. Bill Moore once again controlled the boards as he grabbed away 16 rebounds. Davis was high man on the Harpur quintet with 14 markers closely followed by Greenberg and Kirk, who dumped in 13 and 12 points, respectively. BOX SCORE: Susquehanna F.G. FIs. T.

At the end of the week there was a tie for first place in the standings between G.A. Hall and South Dorm, each having won two games. In Monday's action, G.A. took a 53-34 win from Phi Mu Delta as Barry Plitt was high scorer with 16 points. In the second game, Lambda Chi Alpha won by a 50-38 count over North Dorm. Don Green was high man for Lambda Chi with 12 points. Wednesday night, South Dorm took a 47-41 victory from Theta Chi in the first contest. Later in the evening, Phi Mu Delta even- ed its record by dropping North Dorm, 40-22. Joe Joyce was high man for Phi Mu with 12 points. Friday night, South Dorm stormed to a close 59-56 win over Lambda Chi Alpha. In the second contest, G.A. scored a 59-42 win over the Alpha House-Day Stu- dent team.

The upper classes are represented in the persons of Jean Ewald and Joan Lawley, seniors; Toby Brod- isch and Candy Fink, juniors. Re- turning sophomores are Mary James and Ann Spriggle; trans- fers strengthening the sophomore ranks are Marian Houser and Ann Latimer. There is a great amount of Freshman potential on this year's team: Dee Brossman, forward; Cindy Casswell, Pris Limbert, Lee Bruno, and Doris Blackwell, guards. This year's team has a tough schedule to play, but the poten- tial to have a successful season. Under the able coaching of Miss McDowell, the girls should be able to top last year's 2-2 record. But they need support!

The scene is the new Crusader office in Selinsgrove Hall. SPORT TAL by JOE JOYCE This week we got the word that it's time to add a little touch of Christmas to the column. That sounded great, but as far as a Christ- masy sports column — well, as the saying goes a winner never quits, and a quitter never wins, so here goes. Some of the football players received their presents a little early this year, and they didn't come from St. Nick, but from a flock of sportswriters throughout the state and country. "Butch" DiFrancesco heads the list with the following presents: First Team MAC Northern College Division, Little Ail-American — Williamson Poll, Second Team All-Pennsylvania, and Honorable Men- tion Associated Press Little All American. Larry Kerstetter was also presented with a gift being named to the MAC First Team, while John Rowlands received honorable men- tion in the same division. Senior end Ken Hauser rceived a present when he was selected to an Honorable Mention on the All-Pennsylvania squad. To be serious, these awards were not gifts; every one of these athletes reserve the honors or honor they receive; in fact we were surprised to see that certain boys were not named on any of the above selections. Barry Hackenberg, so we hear, will receive a letter on Dec. 25th inviting him to participate in the next Olympic games. As some of you probably know, the entire Susquehanna football team received the nicest present of all when they were invited to play Tampa University in the Gasparilla Bowl at Tampa, Florida. They'll all end up watching T.V. come New Year's Day, however, because the NCAA heads refused the Garrettman their trip to the South by saying they could not play Tampa, since the Florida school is not a member of that association. THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE WILL DO THE FOLLOWING THINGS OVER THE CHRISTMAS VACATION. Clark Mosier — practice basketball . . . Coach Garrett will write a book — "How To Be A Successful Football Coach" .... A certain starter on the Crusader five will get engaged .... Dan Remler will have a talk with his father, and for the hundredth time this year will be told to get his grades up so that he can display his God-given talents on the gridiron. Incidentally, after watching some fine intramural basketball players last week, "Big Dan" gets this scribe's nod as the outstanding intramural hoopster at S.U. in the past three years . . . The New York Giants will beat the Green Bay Packers for the NFL championship .... John Luscko and Tom Samuel will finally find out that Mt. Ephriam is not the capital of New Jersey .... Ben DiFrancesco will put on a twisting exhibition New Year's Eve at the Canteen. Thus we end one year, and enter into a new year, and this column predicts that the Mowing happenings will occur in 1962: The Orange and Maroon basketball team will finish the season by improving on their 17-6 record of 1960-61. University Field will be renamed A. A. Stagg Jr. Memorial Field on honor of the coach who gave 17 years of his knowledge and guidance to athletes and students alike. The New York Yankees will again win the World Series. Dr. and Mrs. Weber will once again be the two leading boosters of Susquehanna sports. John Luscko will lead the Garrettmen to another undefeated cam- paign and a post-season bowl game. The Boston Celtics will repeat as champions of the N.B.A. Coach Pittello and Ben DiFrancesco will both be offered coaching coontracts at a regional high school. The cheerleaders will finally get their new uniforms. There will be a Negro football player on the Crusader squad for the first time in the history of the university. The Barrmen will dump Temple next time out. The pressbox in the football stadium will be enlarged. The S.U. baseball team will travel south this Spring for some pre-season baseball games. As much as we dislike it. Sonny Liston will deck Floyd Patterson. This column would like to wish coaches, athletes, and all Crusader followers a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The brothers of Phi Epsilon and their dates are seen on the dance floor displaying a little 'Terpsichore" at their Christmas party in the fraternity house. Fred Hauser, Barb Jordan, Dick Howe and Ann Corson all enter- tain Selinsgrove area children at the annual Alpha Delta Pi-Lambda Chi Alpha Christmas party. LCA-ADPi Host Area Children With Party Merriment, frolic, and good cheer created the atmosphere at the Alpha Delta Pi-Lambda Chi Alpha Christmas party on Sun- day, December 16. The party was in honor of the children of the Selinsgrove area. Traveling over slippery roads, the LCA drivers and ADPi route- finders set out to the kiddies domiciles to escort them to the fraternity house. Upon their ar- rival to the festively decorated Lambda Chi Alpha house, the party ensued and laughter, mer- riment, and good cheer created the necessary Christmas atmos- phere. The true Christmas spirit prevailed with the singing and playing of traditional songs and games. Finally Santa Claus arrived on the scene and distributed toys, games, stuffed animals, and dolls to the eager hands and brightly shining faces. The presents were gratefully received, and the hap- py children, with their pudgy, little hands filled to capacity with every toy imaginable, scram- bled to the tables to fill their tum- mies with turkey, mashed pota- toes, dressing, vegetables, and ire cream. Their burst of energy com- pletely expelled, the "little kids" were ready to return to their par- ents The children exclaimed their many thank you's, and a few. still dumbfounded by their good fortune, meekly uttered their goodbyes and waited for their escorts to retrieve them. The taxis were filled and the "big kids" wiped their brows, each wondering what makes children so energetic. "Christmas is Christmas is Christmas." Gertrude Stein's very famous and puzzling quotation has appeared in various forms, however the experience of two of Phi Mu's finest, Ted Mauer and Mac Ward, brings about a metamorphosis of the above quoted line which might re-appear as Christmas is not Christmas is not Christmas if you're liable to get shot trying to get a tree. by Al Thomas 'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through Phi Mu Delta; Brothers were scurrying helta and scelta. Decorations were hung round the house with great perspicacity, In hopes that our party wouldn't be blasity. And Ron H. with his cigar and Hack with his chuckJe, Were looking for two guys for four-handed pinochle. When out on the lawn there arose such a grind, We all sprang from our work list to see who'd get fined. Away to the window we flew like a flash; Damned the ventian blinds, then threw open the sash. The moon on the parking lot (for there just was no snow), Played on the hood of the white Ford below. Into the driveway they flew like a bee, They had met with an obstacle, Teddy and Mac— A cantankerous farmer who stood in the track, And defied them to cross o'er his land to the wood, Where a Christmas tree waited for the Delt brotherhood. More rapid than eagles, his curses they came, And he shouted and threatened and called them both names. His eyes how they glowered; his dimples— there were none; His cheeks — not worth mention- ing; his nose — a large red one His droll little mouth was drawn up in a sneer As he stood there, and stared the boys down with a leer. But then round the curve in the dirt road there flew, A grey, beaconed car, and a state policeman too. He was stocky and muscular; hardly an elf, And Ted didn't stop him— he did that himself. A wink in his eye and a hand on his holster Gave the spirits of Teddy and Mac quite a bolster. They spoke not a word, but went straight to their work; They cut down a tree, then laugh- ed at the jerk, Who, laying his finger aside of his nose- Then blatantly picking it, struck quite a pose. They sprang to their car, to the cop gave a whistle, And drove off with the tree like a frat-seeking missile, And exclaimed to the brothers, ere they drove into sight: "You'll never guess what we went through just to get this Blasted tree for the party Satur- day night."

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1962 Placement Service Offers Job Mrs. Mailloux Returns Interviews For S. U. Seniors To S.U. Library Staff by Dave Koch Attention to all students and especially to seniors who are interest- ed in job placement. The school's placement service has begun to set up dates for companies and firms interested in coming and talking to the students. These visits to the school offer a help to the students in gaining a better understanding of the problems which they will face when they leave school and offer possible chances of employment with one of the visiting firms. The following list gives the names and dates when the firms will send representatives to the school. Those interested are urg- ed to make appointments now in Dr. Zimmer's office. This list is as yet incomplete and as firms make dates with the school they will be posted on the Placement Bulletin Board and in the Cru- sader. All students are urged to take notice of the placement board at least once a week. In addition to placement confer- ences, possibilities for summer employment will also be posted on this board as received. For additional specific information students should contact Dr. Zim- mer's office.

School Dis- trict Dr. Power Speaks To Pi Gamma Mu Chapter The Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu held its monthly meeting at the home of its secretary-treasurer, Miss Joyce Gilbert, 100 Susquehanna Avenue, Selinsgrove, on Decem- ber 14,1961. The speaker for the evening was Dr. Mary Susan Power, as- sistant professor of political sci- ence at Susquehanna University, who expounded upon the subject of her doctoral dissertation, "Ver- non Louis Parrington and J. Al- len Smith: An American Political Tradition." Her presentation was followed by a lively discussion and refreshments. Speaker for the December meeting will be Dr. Wendell Smith of Bucknell University. Dr. Smith will speak on Social Sciences as applied to Educational Tech- niques. The meeting will be held Thursday, January 11, 1962, at the home of Professor Stevens. Beginning on Monday, January 8, the University Library will have a member of its profession- al staff available for reference service every afternoon from one until five. This service will be available at the desk in the refer- ence room which is the old class- room. This additional service is made possible by the fact that Mrs. Kenneth Mailloux, former period- icals librarian who resigned last spring, will re-join the staff on a part-time basis. She, and other members of the professional staff, will be at the reference desk every afternoon except Saturday and Sunday. This is not to say that refer- ence service will not be available, or has not been, at other hours when the library is open. It means only that during these hours one of the professional li- brarians, of which there are now four on the staff, will be freed from other duties so as to be able to offer greater help to the stu- dent seeking it. He's coming March 24. Watch THE CRUSADER. Mrs. Foss Is New Head Resident AtNewDorm After living for one month in the absence of a head resident, the girls in the New Dorm are again back to normal in their at- tractive residence. The new head resident is a pleasant, soft-spo- ken, and smiling woman in the person of Mrs. Edna Foss. Mrs. Foss is some distance from her home in Dunkirk, New York, but says she is very happy to be here. A graduate of West Penn Hos- pital at Pittsburgh where she be- came a Registered Nurse, Mrs. Foss has a rather interesting background. In 1958, she took the Housemother's Course offered at Purdue University. Since that time she has been head resident of the Men's Dormitory at Wag- ner College and spent two years at Dickinson College at Morgan Hall for men. First semester of this school year she was house resident of Forbes Hall at Car- negie Institute of Technology. Mrs. Foss stated, "I prefer a small college in a small town to a big college." She found the Pittsburgh and New York areas too large since she doesn't care for the hustle and bustle of city life. "There's a certain imper- sonality at larger schools," she said, "which somehow doesn't exist on a small campus such as Susquehanna's." Sli Record Collection Enlarged At Library Santa Claus came to the uni- versity library with a gift of sixty long playing record albums from Columbia Records. The gift, which was a complete surprise to the librarian, arrived during the Christmas vacation. The records include recordings of the works of a wide variety of composers, among them Rach- maninoff, Brahms, Shostakovitch, Prokofiev, Wagner, Tschaikow- sky, Mozart, Monteverdi, Boro- din, Barber, Vaughn Williams, Beethoven, Gliere, Khatchatur- ran, Ravel, Debussy, Respighi, Dvorak, Schubert, Chopin, Bar- t o k, Schoenberg, Weinberger, Richard Strauss, Offenbach, Franck, William Schumann, and Aaron Copland. The recording artists include the Philadelphia, Cleveland, and New York Philharmonic Orches- tras and the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio, as well as such individual artists as Glen Gould, Pablo Casals, Francescet- ti, Eileen Farrell, Serkin, Alex- ander Schreiner, Isaac Stern, Casadeus, Slatislov Richter, Leon- ard Rose, Jean Doyen and such groups as the pro Musica An- tiqua, Budapest String Quartet, Baroque Ensemble of Stuttgart, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and the Moiseyev Russian Folk Ballet Company. The records also include "Anna Russell in Darkest Africa," "The Big News of 1959," "Songs of Is- rael," and two show albums — The Thurber Carnival and Bye, Bye, Birdie. The library staff is making every effort to have these records ready for use by the students and faculty as soon as possible. It is expected that all will be avail- able by the middle of February. This gift, plus recent library pur- chases, now puts the record col- lection at more than two hundred. Mr. Charles Kuhn, S.U. Business Manager. Mr. Charles H. Kuhn, Jr. Takes Post As New Business Manager Susquehanna University's new business manager, Mr. Charles H. Kuhn Jr., officially began his duties on January 1, 1962, suc- ceeding retiring Dr. Bernard W. Krapf. Mr. Kuhn was born in Bethle- hem, Pa., and received a B.S. degree in economics and business from Moravian College. For the past nine years he has - been comptroller of Moravian College. Active in church and profes- sional groups, he is a former councilman at St. Matthew's Lu- theran Church, Bethlehem. Mr. Kuhn also is a member of Beth- lehem Chamber of Commerce, Eastern Association of Colleges and Universities Business Offi- cers, National Association of Ed- ucational Buyers and its regional organization, and Kiwanis Inter- national. A friendly campus and an ex- cellent college president were two of Mr. Kuhn's first impres- sions of S.U. His wife and two sons, Charles 15 and Ronald 13, are presently living in Bethlehem. Trailer en- thusiasts, the Kuhns spend many weekends and vacations traveling with their travel trailer. Mr. Kuhn also enjoys tropical fishing. Fashion Fellowships; Tobe-Coburn Program Tobe-Coburn School for Fashion* Careers in New York City an- nounced that as many as four full-tuition Fashion Fellowships may be awarded to senior wom- en graduating in 1962. Each fellowship covers the full tuition of $1500 for the One Year Course, and all women students graduat- ing from four-year colleges in 1962 before August 31 are eligible to apply. Fashion Fellowships are offer- ed to encourage promising college graduates to enter a profession which offers unusual opportunities for advancement to well-trained young women. Graduates hold a wide variety of positions in mer- chandising, advertising, fashion coordination, magazines, news- papers and as owners of their own shops. The One Year Course is a care- fully organized program of spe- cialized training, planned to pro- vide a broad background for en- ter any phase of distribution in- fluenced by fashion. It offers close contact with the fashion in- dustry through frequent lectures by fashion personalities, and vis- its to manufacturers, buying of- fices, fashion shows, museums, and events of social importance. Ten full weeks of paid work in New York stores and other fash- ion organizations provide on-the- job experience to supplement and enrich the classroom training. Senior women may secure Fashion Fellowship registration blanks from the Dean of Women. ^ •— • — — Mr. Robert Fuller of the Provi- dent Mutual Insurance Company will present a special program for juniors and seniors interested in a sales career.

The letter bearing his signature which appeared in the De- cember 20th issue of the Crusader was not his work. We apologize for publishing the letter as such, and for not realizing that its phraseology was not of the calibre that a person of Jim's intelligence would use. It has been the policy oi the paper that letters must be signed and presented, in person, to one of the co-editors. Two other letters were received on the same day as that of the one alleged to be from Mr. DeLong. One, probably written by the same irresponsible person who forged Mr. DeLong's name, purported to be from the librarian, Rev- erend Mr. Krahmer. This letter we immediately recognized as a hoax and in discarding it, unfortunately, overlooked the fake DeLong letter. The entire incident, though entirely our fault, causes us to wonder about the intelligence of the warped "minds" that sent the aforemen- tioned letters. We use the plural of "mind" in this case since the let- ters appear to be the work of a collection of idiots rather than a single one. In a student body that is mature enough to warrant those priv- ileges that some S.U. students seem to feel have been denied, such an incident would never have occurred. Isn't it strange how often a few individuals can spoil things for the group. In closing this "Let's get the facts straight" editorial we may as well make one additional comment: 'This little paper is not censored*. Yes, believe it or not, we are free to print what we wish 'including this unsolicited testimonial). So, "lonely crowd", go ahead with your noble crusade, but leave the paper out of it. If we had a problem, we would say so. L.B. The Accused Speaks . . . Trinkling through the proverbial Susquehanna grapevine is rumor that The Crusader is a censored newspaper controlled by the admin- istration. This tidbit of farsical nonsense comes to us as much of a surprise. Evidentally it is time for us to wipe out the pestilence and enlighten the misinformed horde. The censoring power of this newspaper rests solely with its co- editors — and no one else! We, and only we. have the final say as to what is and what is not to be printed! There is no link between the format of this newspaper and the administrative offices! Where this rumor has begun we have no idea, but we do know the unrest of the "lonely crowd" has aided in subjecting The Crusader to much controversy. Clamouring to harass the present policies of the school, these advocates have included among other projects, to un- harness The Crusader from its administrative strait jacket. Not only by this stated intention has the "lonely crowd" induced students to believe this newspaper is censored, but its mere existence has gen- erated mistaken beliefs. "Why, say many students, if The Crusader isn't censured doesn't it support these 20th century revolutionists?" The reason is because to do so would defeat the purpose of this newspaper. The central purpose of The Crusader is to report the news in an unbiased manner. To do this it must hold a disciplined position that will not yield to any pressure; it must maintain an arbitrary stand that will not move with the majority. Unless The Crusader re- mains non-partisan, its existence is meaningless. As we have stated there presently is no tie between the newspaper and the administration. If the day ever comes that such a link is established, The Crusader will do one of two things, fold up or place the administration s name on the masthead. We tend to believe it will do the former. P.G. My dear foster parents: Another greetings, my dear foster parents. I am happy to be able to write this letter again to you. A few days ago I moved into the biggest town of Korea, Seoul, from my old town. The house I am accommodated is lo- cated at Dongdaemoon district of Seoul and is called Sung Ae Won. My new school is called Chung- lang primary school. As I am scheduled to undertake entrance exams for middle school, I am very eager for my studies at school. To tell the truth, when I came up to Seoul, for a few days, I was uneasy and did not like this place, but as times go by I became to like this place. Oct. 10th was set here as Soldiers' Day. On the day I watched Air show at the Han river with my teachers. The plane dropped bombs and shot targets from the air. Of course such show was first experience to me and was quite interesting. And on Oct. 15th, all new comers of this house were taken to a .zoo here. I brought drawing gears with me to the zoo and tried to draw monkeys, lion and elephants. Finally I finished a drawing of an elephant, and I have it now. The zoo was also first experience to me. This time, I thank you again for my luck. Wishing you joy and happiness I remain.

As part of an exchange program with other school newspaper staffs, the Crusader receives regular isues from a number of local col- leges. In the course of a year we also receive other literary publica- tions of these colleges, notably literary magazines. We are quite frank to admit that when a student movement was begun early last year for such a magazine at S.U. we were not quite certain just what made up a "literary publication." Since that time we have received some six or seven literary maga- zines and, with only one exception, have been quite impressed. The most recent, the University of Scranton Esprit, is probably the finest that we have read. This naturally brings to mind the question, Why not S.U.? Certainly there is some interest among the student body as evidenced earlier last year, we have the talent, and now, with in- creased enrollment, the finances should not pose a problem. For those of you who, like ourselves, are a bit in the dark about the publication, perhaps a few words of explanation are in order. The magazine is constructed and edited by the students with the help of a faculty advisor. The content consists of stories, essays and poems of student authorship. The magazine has no editorial policy or "bone of contention" but rather strives to present good literary material as produced by the student body. When this material is combined with some clever pictures and drawings in a good layout the total product can be quite attractive, as with Scranton's Esprit. We feel that it is time for Susquehanna to embark on such an en- deavor. Certainly we have the talent, for already several English professors have submitted material to the Crusader which they felt worthy of publication. Technically the newspaper is not the best place or even proper background to display such material. The literary magazine offers the ideal situation for such material. Certainly the increased activities fee would cover the publication of the magazine in the beginning when it would probably encompass only a single issue per year. To our way of thinking the magazine would be a fine thing to mail to parents and alumni as well as have on hand to show prospective freshmen. It would compliment the Susquehanna Studies which is written and produced by the professors. Finally, it would complete the set of literary publications that most universities offer and be an additional academic credit to Susquehanna. Where does the responsibility for the program lie? Initially it must fall to the faculty. No matter how willing the students are they are handicapped by lack of experience and finances. Whether the motivat- ing force be found in the Alumni Office, Public Relations Office, Ad- ministrative Cabinet, or English Department two requirements must be met. The people in charge must be interested enough in the pro- gram to work with the students and have, or be able to get, admin- istrative backing. Whether this program will bear any fruit this year is questionable. Perhaps nothing more can be done than organization for next year But if any action at all is taken or any key person decides to adopt this project we feel this small effort will have been of value.

These hearty adventurers had the initiative and, may I say, the utter stupidity to join approximately 300,000 other howling humans within the confines of an American shrine called Times Square in New York City.

The ritual which takes place each New Year's Eve in Times Square is as traditional to Americans as pumpkin pie on Thanksgiv- ing or slot machines in Las Vegas. Here they gather to blow ten-cent horns (sold by business-wise scalpers for twenty-five cents and up), yell their lungs out for little reason except that everyone else is doing it, (and any true American would not refuse to go along with the crowd), and wave like madmen at a bright spotlight behind which is a TV camera recording for all to see the lunacy that is Times Square on New Year's Eve. People are the most interesting animals on earth and to watch them is sheer delight. There wSs the girl feeding the cop's horse with a pony tail that must have made the valiant steed quite envious Atop a newsstand were two long-haired, black-jacketed, TV-oriented youths "twisting" up a storm. One happy soul struggled gayly through the mob with a glass in one hand, a quart of ginger ale in the other and in a Boy Scout knapsack on his back had securely strapped two fifths of "happy- water". The ever present drunken sailor with his three high school buddies was the scourge of all as he weaved his way through the crowd pushing all aside including the little old lady with her gayly decorated hat and raucus-sounding horn. Never was her mind in doubt that she too was an integral part of the boisterous crowd. As the magic moment drew closer and closer and the squeeze became unbearable, the mighty contingent from the wide lawns of old S.U. lifted their horns in tribute to the gods that made this might possible — all, that is except for Les who was so closely ' wedged in that he could not extract his mighty bugle to toot in the New Year. Of course, Charlie stood there in utter serenity, gazing about and ask- ing himself if it wouldn't be better to be bombed by the Russians than have to go through with this for five more minutes. Those five minutes finally passed and as the famous ball descend ed the crowd roared its approval in such vigorous terms that you would have thought that both Kennedy and Nixon had been elected President. The din did not cease but was added H by the sentimental words of "A story we would tell you friends . . ." Yes, for the first time en record the I.U. Alma Mater was sung — and quite well I might add - amid the joviality of New Year's Eve et 45th end Broadway. ««■ Wednesday, January 10, 1962-THE CRUSADER-Page 3 : i SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Although the Christmas vacation gave most S.U. students an op- portunity to relax, the Crusader basketball team spent most of the time working out in the Shamokin High School gym which is located about 25 miles from here. Coach John Barr and captain Bill Moore live in Shamokin while Jim Gallagher and Joe Billig both live within traveling distance. Clark Mosier and Tom McCarrick, the two re- maining starters, roomed with Moore and Coach Barr, thus enabling the Crusaders to hit the hardwoods during the holidays. The Barrmen, who thus far have put together a 7 won, 3 lost record, will be swing- ing into the tail end of their schedule following exams, and their eyes will be focused on the MAC crown. *** *#* *** *** *** Wasn't it strange that the Ohio State faculty voted down the Buck- eye's opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and then allowed the basketball team to participate in a tournament at Los Angeles? The Rose Bowl would have given Ohio State a considerable sum of money and publicity — not that they need it — while they obtained little if any monetary returns, and hardly any publicity from the tournament. But, who are we to disagree with the action, although the story seems kind of strange? Incidentally, the Buckeyes won the tournament while Cincinnati was busy capturing the Holiday Festival Tournament in New York. More than likely these two teams will get an opportunity to meet in the post-season NCAA tournament just as they did last year when the Bearcats shattered Ohio State's 27 game winning streak. *** #** *** *** *** Probably the biggest surprise in Pennsylvania college circles this school year has ben the sudden rise of Villanova football and basket- ball teams. The Wildcats made a big day of it Dec. 30 when their football team defeated Wichita in the Sun Bowl, and the courtmen knocked off Iowa to capture the Quaker City Tournament. At the time of this writing the Villanova five is one of only three major undefeated teams in the nation with twelve wins to their credit. *** *** *** *** *** This writer really goofed by picking the Giants to win the NFL championship game. The Giants, who were definitely outcoached and outplayed, looked like a high school team against the much younger and talented Packers. One of Dr. Bruce Nary's former public speaking students at the University of Michigan, 236 lb. end Ron Kramer, starred in the con- test, snaring two touchdown passes and playing a whale of a ball game. Wonder if mastery of speech had anything to do with it? *** *** *** *** *** Paul Hornung, who was named the most valuable player in the National Football League this season, is the only collegiate winner of the Heisman trophy that has gone on to be named top man in the NFL. Hornung is also the only member of a losing college aggrega- tion to win the Heisman award. The year that Hornung was named, 1956, his college team at Notre Dame had won two and lost eight.

Due to insufficient enrollment Al- gebra will not be offered during the spring semester, 1962. Stu- dents are advised to make the necessary changes on January 29th during second semester reg- istration. The following new courses are offered which may be of interest to those who scheduled Algebra and to other students: Theory of Statistics — MWF and Computer Programing — MWF. Because of a large enrollment in Trigonom- etry it may be necessary to switch some people to these two courses. The courses are open to anyone choosing to drop Trig- onometry. The Computer Programing course is a new one to Susque- hanna. Since the University does not have a computer at this time the class will use Bucknell's com- puter for their work. Computer programing is one of the most attractive and wide-open fields in business today and students are advised to note its inclusion on the Susquehanna curriculum. For further information on any. of the above courses or schedule problems, students are requested to see the Registrar. The Greek Vine ALPHA XI DELTA The Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta were very proud to receive the Scholarship Cup for the year 1960-61. They retained the trophy after having held it last year. The Sisters all worked very hard to achieve this honor and hope that next year the trophy can be retired. Despite the cold and rainy weather, the Alpha Xi's present- ed another successful Christmas serenade under the direction of song leader, Linda Wassam. Many thanks are extended to the resi- dents of Alpha House, who pro- vided coffee and cookies for the Sisters. Their kindness was great- ly appreciated. Congratulations to Sisters Rosie McConnell and Janet Fritsch, who recently became members of W.A.A. KAPPA DELTA After busy, happy, pleasant vacation days, which the KD's trust everyone enjoyed as much as they, its definitely time to hit those books and papers. But, Happy New Year, anyway! The Kappa Delta Patroness- Christmas Party, held Dec. 20, was a huge success, with the Pa- tronesses receiving Christmas plants, and the Sisters and Pledges exchanging "silly" gifts. On Saturday, January 13, the Kappa Deltas have been invited to a luncheon at the Hotel Edison, given by the Patronesses. A sin- cere thank you is extended to them by the girls. Best wishes are extended to Sister Lois Binnie on her pinning to Bob Summer, '63, Theta Chi; and to Sister Nellie Mae Keller, who became pinned during vaca- tion to David Deardorff, '63, a Kappa Delta Rho at Gettysburg College. Special best wishes are extended also to Sister Nancylee Dunster, who became engaged to Dave Moore, a Theta Chi from Maine University.

On Saturday night the brothers and their dates enjoyed themselves dining at the Christmas Party. During the evening, Miss Marilyn Vekassy was crowned the Cres- cent Queen for 1962. On Sunday, the brothers of Lambda Chi and the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi brought joy and the spirit of Christmas into the hearts of the area's children in the annual party for underprivileged child- ren. The center of attraction was Santa Claus, Roland Marionni. Congratulations to brother Clark Mosier, a backcourt man on the Crusader basketball team, who is presently leading the Middle At- lantic Conference in scoring. On the intramural front the Bunder basketball team is sport- ing a two and one record. On the team are Sammy Williams, Ken Hauser, Terry Kissinger, John Luscko, Ron McLaughlin, Lynn Snyder, George Fecker, Bill Lips, Gene Witmer, Ron Keefer, and Don Green. Congratulations to the new wearers of the Crescent: Lynda Dries who was recently pinned to Fred Dunkelberger and Sally Baskin, who was recently pinned to Larry Kachelriess. PHI EPSILON The brothers and their dates had a very enjoyable time at the Phi Epsilon Christmas Party thanks to Social Chairman Tony Colombet. Tony is to be com- mended for his excellent parties thus far. All but one of the brothers had a pleasant Christmas vacation. Brother Walt Shirk went hunting and observed four deer. Although he fired several shots, all he man- aged to catch was a cold. Last weekend the dartboard be- came the center of attention at the Phi Epsilon house. Brother Marty "Hawkeye" Malone prov- ed his accuracy with one shot. The brothers are happy to report that Brother Stan Stahl has re- covered nicely. Many of the brothers may be seen wearing their new Tau Kap- pa Epsilon sweatshirts around campus. We intend to procure TKE jackets upon going national in the spring. It's a great life if you can "teke" it. THETA CHI The annual selection of Theta Chi's Dream Girl was announced at the Christmas Party held on December 16. Miss Judy Brndjar was crowned amid the festive decorations and will undoubtedly reign with all the beauty and grace that is hers. Best wishes and hearty congratulations to Judy from the entire brother- hood. Hard work is once more in evi- dence as the brothers are in the process of throwing off the hang- overs acquired in ushering in the new year and the thought of final exams looms near. Looking even more into the future, Dave Smith is busy finalizing plans for Rush Week. The Bachelors Club Interna- tional extends its condolences to Jim Summers on his pinning to Barbara Evans and to Fred Fish- er to his engagement to Ardine Herring. GOOD LUCK PAT THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University LOOK OUT NEW YORK Vol. 3 — No. 14 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1962 Dr. and Mrs. Lotz Set Sail For A Seven Month Journey Abroad . Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lotz will leave on the "SS Constitution" at noon on Saturday, January 27, for a seven month journey abroad. The journey will be highlighted by trips to Greece, the Holy Land, Egypt, and Turkey. Dr. Lotz intends to study at the University of Goettingen — six miles from the East Zone. Dr. Lotz has previously studied at the Universities of Goettingen and Leipsig, but the University of Leipsig is now in the East Zone. Another purpose of the sojourn is to walk the grounds of the old philosophers and to gain a renew- ed outlook on his field — philoso- hpy and religion. In their visit to Sweden Dr. and Mrs. Lotz will have an opportunity to visit a relative living there. They also hope to attend a Lutheran Church conference in Copenhagen, Den- mark. The exact schedule of the trip is not yet known by the Lotz's, but they do know most of the places they will be visiting. Their ship will stop at the Canary Is- lands for one day — their first stop. Next on their itinerary will be the Strait of Gibraltar follow- ed by one week at Naples, where they will see Pompeii and Ve- suvius among other places of in- terest. The pyramids, sphinx, and Cairo of Egypt, Turkey and then Athens will tentatively follow. The Lutheran Church has asked Dr. Lotz to visit the refugee camps in Jordan, and while in Jordan he and Mrs. Lotz will also visit a 1951 Alumna, Mrs. Martha Albert Putnam. Old Jerusalem and new Jerusalem in Israel will be visited just before Rome, Athens, and Turkey. The Lotz's Dr. Benjamin Lotz will then take a ship up the Adri- atic with a stop at Yugoslavia and Ravenna, where they hope to see the beautiful mosaics. The French and Italian Riviera, the cathedral at Milan, Nice, a visit to some Lutheran Churches, and the walled city of Carcassone are the highlights of the next part of the trip. By April 15, Dr. Lotz must be in Goettingen to prepare for his studies at the University. The Lotz's will visit Munich in hopes to see the Oberammergau Pas- sion Play. Austria and Vienna are next in their final plans with a trip to Sweden and Norway during the Pentecostal vacation. A visit to Scotland and a possible trip to England are on the agenda before returning home on August 23 aboard the "Queen Elizabeth". S. U. Freshman Class Is Part Of Merit Nationwide Survey When the current Freshman class took the National Merit Scholar- ship tests in the fall they were asked to fill out an information form. These forms included some 14 questions ranging from High School grade average and number in High School graduating class to the student's proposed occupation and planned college degree. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation then compiled the re- sults of these questions and pre- pared a national norm in all the categories covered. These re- sults along with the individual in- stitution's results were forward- ed to all participants. The following information is taken from the results of that survey. Included are a brief summary of the national trends and then a listing of how the Class of 1965 at Susquehanna showed up on the survey. Nationally, slightly better than 20% of all students polled said their high school class included between 100-199 members. The next highest groups were 50-99 and then 200-299. The high school average most often recorded • 20.7%) was that of a straight B. The B plus and B-minus were next in line. Of all those survey- ed .5% had a D average and 1% an A plus. Over 50% of those polled said they were seeking a BA or BS degree and nothing more. Nearly 24% aimed at the MA or MS (Continued en Page 4) while 18.7% were bound for the PhD. Most students reported that their father had completed high school <24.9%) with some college or a college degree appearing next in line. The following results are strict- ly those of the current freshman class here at Susquehanna as re- ported by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Thirty-three per cent reported that their high school graduating classes fell between 100-199. The average student accepted had maintained a B average in high school * 29. 2%) as can be seen from the following chart.

He will replace Dr. Benjamin Lotz who is taking a year's trip to Europe. Presently, Dr. Schoenweiss is a lecturer at Missions and Diaspora Seminar in Neuendettelsau, Ba- varia. He has studied at the Univer- sities of Erlangen and Teubingen. In 1948 and 1949 he studied in America. In 1956 he received the Doctor- ate of Theology at Erlangen hav- ing studied with Dr. Paul Althaus. His thesis was entitled "The Po- litical Ethic of Reinhold Nie- buhr." In the same year he trav- eled to Australia with eight hun- dred German refugees and visited the mission fields in the island of New Guinea as well as the mis- sions in India. He served as Pastor from 1951 to 1957 at Uettingen Bei Werz- burg. He also served with the YMCA in Italy, Switzerland and Hungary. Garrett To Lead '62 S. U. Baseball Squad Athletic Director and head foot- ball coach, James Garrett, will also be coach of the 1962 Susque- hanna University baseball team, it was announced last week. Coach Garrett will be replacing Mr. Robert Bastress, who found it necessary to forego the spring sport because of his increased re- sponsibilities in the Education Department this year. Garrett, who was a catcher at Utah State before entering the service, continued his career after being discharged by playing for a period of time with a Class B farm club in the Pittsburgh Pir- ates' organization. Garrett's base- ball playing days ended when he signed a pro football contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Before coming to Susquehanna Coach Garrett directed the Le- high freshman baseball team to a 10-0 record. The new coach held his first baseball meeting of the year last week, and he an- nounced that preseason workouts will get underway February 1. Dum De Dum Dum A veil of gloom and respair has begun to prevail over Susque- hanna's campus. Final exams are here again. But all is not bleak for a five-day vacation fol- lows. See you after recuperation. The Crusader Staff Dr. John Magnus' S. U. Recital Declared An Artistic Success by Galen Deibler Make no mistake, a fine concert was presented recently by John Magnus, bass-baritone, with Frederic Billman, accompanist. Due to the inclement weather the audience was smaller than usual, but it was obvious that those who braved the ice and snow were enthusiastic in their response. — sounded more German than French. This effect, however, was probably due, to a great ex- tent, to the loss of clarity result- ing from lowering it from its original key of f minor. This sit- uation is always a problem for a singer with a low voice. Much of the song literature has been written for the higher voice, and there is no reason why an acci- dent of nature should prevent an artist from performing large blocks of literature which he loves. However, this does not alter the fact that the piano ac- companiments become muddy and distorted in some cases (as, for example, in Fuhlt meine Seele and the Faure song in question) thus marring to some extent the overall effect. I am certain that Mr. Magnus was aware of the risk, and I am glad that he chose to sing the song anyway; but I must confess that for me the French group reached a climax in the charm and warmth with which he sang "Le Parfum Im- perissable," while "Fleur jetee," for all the exacting work involv- ed for both singer and painist, seemed strangely anticlimactic. The concluding American group was most effectively realized. I had no reservations about the Ives songs which were done with a charming simplicity and sub- tlety — wholly artistic in every respect. In Copland's interesting arrangement of the familiar "At the river," was it Mr. Magnus' intention to recapture the un- adorned vigor of the spirit of American revival singing? I car- ed least of all for the Barber, though it was effectively done. I did feel, however, that the Cop- land with its strength and solid reaffirmation of faith would have made a better ending than the more negative Barber. Mr. Bill- man acquitted himself admirably (Continued on Page 4) The search for an unhackneyed program can sometimes lead an artist down the rocky path of eccentricity in his choice of mus- ic, but such was not the case here. Mr. Magnus selected many works not regularly performmed while at the same time building a program which was interesting, of high musical quality and ac- cessible to the average listener. The program opened with the long and florid Bach area "Ja ja, ich kann die Feinde schlagen" from Cantata #57. It is taxing for both soloist and accompanist, and due, no doubt, to its place on the program both performers had some difficulty with it and it never really got off the ground. In the Handel which followed, both Mr. Magnus and Mr. Billman settled down to the job at hand and the soloist's voice assumed more sheen and control. Mr. Magnus seemed completely at home in the German group, and it was done with devotion and care. The Wolf songs, I felt, went particularly well. "Der Rattenf anger" with its vigorous outlines and rhythmic drive seems to have been made just for Mr. Magnus to sing, and he sang it extremely well. Mr. Billman hit his stride (in spite of a sticking key through- out the Brahms group) in the more pianistic accompaniments of the Brahms and Wolf songs. The treacherously exposed bass notes in Dort in den Weiden" were securely negotiated, and the fiendishly difficult "Der Ratten- f anger" was dashed off with bril- liance and aplomb.

Our Former Presidents Deserve Better Use of Their Talents Editors Note: The following was written for an English Composition course by Joseph Ulrich. I believe that the President's office should not termminate in a "dead end." A President should have a specific place to serve after he leaves the White House. The best place for this service, I believe, is the United States Senate. In the Senate the former Chief Executive would have an official platform from which to voice his views. A former President's continued participation in government can be an important influence for the good of the nation. However, our nation does not utilize a former President's abilities. This "stock- pile of expertness" of former Presidents has usually been wast- ed throughout our history. Many of our ex-Presidents slipped into obscurity the moment they step- ped out of the White House. When a man has been Presi- dent of the United States during the complex twentieth century, he must have had to face the most difficult decisions and solve the most trying problems of any executive in the nation. He has been a leader, an administrator, a referee of all types of disputes, and has probably become, through his experience, an expert on a number of complex and critical subjects. Therefore I don't believe that a man with so much experience should be "let out to pasture." I think the nation should continue to have the benefit of his counsel and guidance. Today the United States has three living former Presidents. Each of these three men has ex- pressed his willingness to con- tinue to serve the nation. And, unless illness prevented it, each would probably make good this desire. Imagine what wise coun- sel we could gain if each of these three men had a voice as a Sen- ate member. Permanent Senate membership for former Presidents would not only make use of men of talent and experience who would render valued public service, but it would also help relieve the dis- order produced when an abrupt change of administration takes place. It is important that the Executive and Legislative branch- es of our government continuous- ly work together in an efficient manner. No one would be better prepared to help create this co- operation than a man who would have had experience with each of these branches of the govern- ment. However, one might ask, "What would happen if there was no seat vacant in the Senate for the ex- President's own State?" Or, "What if the majority in the State legislature is against him?" One possible solution is to give him a seat in that chamber as an extra member. But, this would give the State from which he came, a third senator, and therefore put the State at an advantage. I think that the best solution would be to make the former President a Senator-at-large. He would not represent any one State but would represent all the States in trying to help the country as a whole. Some people oppose making former Presidents Senators-at- large because they would not represent a specific segment of (Continued on Page 3) SOCIAL CALENDAR January 17-24, 1961 Wednesday January 17 Campus Club, 3:00 Thursday January 18 NAUD, 7:30, Seibert Lower Level Sunday January 21 Vespers CONTINUATION OF EXAMS AND SEMESTER VACATION Monday January 29 Registration Tuesday January 30 Classes begin, 8:00 a.m. ICE SKATING AT LITTLE NORWAY, ISLE OF QUE, NIGHTLY, 50* Managed by Boy Scouts by D.

Among bewildering appliances For mastering arts and sciences For mastering the arts and sci- ences They stroll or run, And nerves that never flinched at slaughter Are shot to pieces by the shorter Poems of Donne. from "Under Which Lyre" by W. H. Auden Shortly after World War II W. H. Auden, the British poet then teaching at Northwestern University, recognized the pecul- iar fear caused by things aca- demic, and he remarks that it can be greater than the fear of battle. And there is no academic fear that even approaches the panic of a final examination! Year after year professors see them file into the examination rooms, dry-mouthed, weak-kneed, ashen, and on the verge of complete nervous catastrophe; they laugh in short staccato bursts at noth- ing at all, some talk compulsive- ly, but each is very much alone. Some pray (There are no atheists in the foxholes) but most sit like mute bombs, ready to disinte- grate emotionally at a glance from the proctor. And it is all so unnecessary! Examinations are written for healthy, rosy-cheeked youths at the peak of their intellectual sea- son and ripe for a dazzling display of mental brilliance. But they are taken by demoralized wrecks, emaciated, sleep-starved, and badly frightened. Cramming, as everyone knows, is responsible for the startling transition, and an examination of cramming is in order. Most students, feel morally ob- ligated to cram; they cram whether they know the subject or not. This results in the absurd practice of re-reading well-known material again and again and con- fusing the brain by asking it to memorize material it already knows. Students must fulfill their obligation to study something for the final exam, and quite often they study what they know over and over. Exhausting! Then the brain is further con- fused by frantic, desperate skip- ping about; a well - organized course is torn apart for study purposes, and any benefit deriv- ed from chronological recall is obliterated by nervous jumping back and forth in the text and notes. A dash of Goldsmith and back to some Beowulf, then on to Marlowe and a splatter of Love- lace then — Good Lord! what did he say about that there Green Knight? At this time mental pa- ralysis takes over and Louis XIV and Shakespeare somehow get all mixed up together. Exasperat- ing! And since the student can not make up his mind on what to study, he calls for outside con- sultation; ten experts (fellow stu- dents) are asked and he gets ten different answers. He then asks someone who had the course two years ago <D was the grade re- ceived) and has his confusion compounded. Bu among the eleven consultants he has found three good conversationalists and an interesting blond, so he shoots four hours in relaxation. Exhil- erating! But now that four hours have been wasted, he must make up for it somehow; here is where the physical deterioration begins. He stays up most of the night (re- reading known material) and misses his evening meal. Soft drinks replace meals, he sleeps during the day and works at night, his usual schedule is ig- nored and he begins to feel run- down and nervous. He quarrels with his best friend (who is also on the verge of a mental break- down) and this makes him emo- tionally upset. The professor be- comes a fiend and the rest of the class apple-polishers. He knows the material but can't re- member the minor details — like who wrote Hamlet. This is the creature who shows up for a final examination. This crazed, confused, half-starved wretch whose rolling red eyes are wild with a frantic fear needs no examination. He needs rest and care in a well-padded, air- conditioned giggle factory. Now what can be done to avoid this? There are a few basic rules to follow, and in the interest of mental health they are given to one and all 1. Remember that panic is your worst enemy! Resolve to do your best, and do it honestly. Your best is probably good enough, and you can not do your best when you are frantic. 2. Do not attempt too much. You can not cover everything, so set judicious limits on what you will do. Decide what is impor- tant, what the professor has stressed, and what you are weak in. But be reasonable with your- self, and do not ask for too much. 3. Do not call in consultation; this wastes time, confuses you, and can be dangerous. Your guess is as good as the next man's as to the exam's content — perhaps better! And remember, you are taking advice from a competitor when you sek consul- tation. 4. Avoid group study. It is rarely well-organized, often it is "brain-picking" on the part of an unprepared student, usually it be- comes a "bull-session," and it is not at all economical as far as time is concerned. Group study is fine after you have done all of the individual study you intend to do. 5. Take advantage of the or- ganization of the course when you study. Many courses are chron- ologically arranged (history, lit- erature, etc.) and others are well- ordered by either the text book author or the professor. Do not jump around in a panic; try to be as orderly as possible. 6. Do not spend hours on one subject. Psychologists have prov- ed that, ten separate half-hour (Continued on Page 3) UTTER? ToTr/E iPlToR To the Editors, There have been mixed feelings toward a recent crippling act in our intramural basketball pro- gram. Some say it was highly out of character for the football coaches to walk out on something they had started, especially since they are known to have definite opinions on the subject of giving up an activity. This, writer stands firmly behind these men and their choice to re- sign. It is a person's divine right to weigh the problem, reach a decision, and act upon it. However, more in the name of justice than malice I would recall to them how quickly they called men quitters. Yours sincerely, Roger Trexler Dear Editors: Why wasn't Victor Riesel's lec- ture of last Monday evening pub- licized more? Because, possibly, there was not a place on campus to accommodate the number of people who might have attended had Mr. Riesel received proper publicity? It would have been easily possible to seat 800 people comfortably in the gym, if there had not been an intramural bas- ketball game. Although this event was publish- ed in the Crusader before the Christmas vacation, the notifica- tion which was given Ogden Nash was definitely lacking for Victor Riesel. All students should have had the opportunity to hear this speaker, but due to the fact that many believed that they would be unable to hear from the back of the dining room did not attend and consequently missed a worth- while experience. If the University is going to the trouble of acquiring good speak- ers, why can't the proper avail- able facilities be used? Why have an outstanding Artist Series and then never publicize it properly or provide a large enough place to accommodate those interested? Sincerely, Ben Lovell ? Wednesday, January 17, 1962-THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE After taking part in a debate a few weeks ago which concerned whether an athletic program in a school system contributed anything of importance to the growth of the individual, this writer decided to look around, and see what he could find to show the positive result of an athletic program. Coming across a recent issue of a coaching mag- azine, he picked out nine benefits, which a participant in sports realizes and decided to elaborate on them. With the statement often being heard, especially after last year's basketball scandals, that athletics play too important a role in our life today, we are going to attempt to disprove this statement with the feeling that it may prove interesting especially to the following people: 1. Those who feel that athletics offer little or no purpose in the molding of a well-rounded individual. 2. The boys who participate in an athletic program, and at times wonder if they are really deriving any benefit from the time and effort which they give to a sport. 3. Those of you who, in the future, will be parents, and will be confronted with the question of whether to allow your child to take part in a sport where he may risk injury every time he participates. Remember one principle: athletics are education, they are in fact one of the most important parts of our educational system. There is no" other course in our schools today which can offer to a boy all the following benefits: COMPETITION — Our entire way of life is based on competition. Every person in industry, business, or a profession is competing to improve or maintain his economic standing. What better way is there to teach this important principle than through athletics where a person faces a struggle not only against opposing teams but also against his own teammates for a position on the squad. PHYSICAL WELL-BEING — The nation as a whole is becoming more conscious of the inadequacy of our youth in physical fitness, as is evidenced by President Kennedy's establishment of a Physical Fit- ness Program. It is stated that "A strong body is the handmade to a strong mind," and where can this strong body be formed better than it is in athletics? THE RELEASE OF PHYSICAL BEING - Someway, somehow, students will find a way to release the physical energy which their bodies hold. Athletics offer a means of releasing this energy, and it's a much better means than joining a gang of destructive hoodlums or engaging in some undesired sexual activity. RECOGNITION — Through guidance players can learn to accept the recognition that they may receive and also realize that it was not their own efforts alone which produced this recognition. UNDERSTANDING — Athletes work together for a common cause, and learn to take victory or defeat in an acceptable manner. Team members learn how to understand each other and to make compensa- tions for the team. How can this help but be beneficial in later years when an athlete enters the business or professional world, where it has been proven that eighty per cent of the people who lose their jobs do so because of their failure to understand and get along with their co- workers. EMOTIONAL CONTROL — Take a look some time and notice who the best athletes are. We're sure you'll find that the successful ones are those who control their feelings no matter how tough or close the contest is. The important thing to remember, as I was once told, is "Never get excited." So it goes in future life: he who learns not to show his emotions and stays calm whatever the situation, is he who will be successful. DISCIPLINE — The main cry about our young people today is that they don't know how to discipline themselves or how to accept discipline imposed on them. However, athletics force a player to discipline both his mind and body and also accept the commands given by those placed over him. PERSE VERENCE — How many times do adults miss the goal they have been seeking because they quit trying too soon? Any person who has ever participated in athletics will probably never fall into this situation since thru his participation he has learned perseverence. Even the lowliest sub on a sixty-man football team never stops try- ing since he has the desire to someday make that first string. THINKING UNDER PRESSURE — Any accomplished business- man can contribute much of his success to this factor. The athlete learns how to think under pressure since every time he engages in a contest pressure is being put upon him to win and in order to win he has to learn how to think. Another fact which we feel should be pointed out in any evalua- tion of athletics is the following: Studies show that in general students' grades go up during the sport season. When a player is participating in a sport he has a great interest in school in general. At that time his life is centered on the school and sport he is engaged in. Also he knows that he must main- tain a certain scholastic average to remain on the squad. If a student lacks ability in a subject, he will work to master it to succeed, once again bringing in those factors of discipline and per- severence. (Continued from Page 2) Former Presidents voters, and would thus be respon- sible to no electorate. However, 1 think there would be an ad- vantage to such non-responsibil- ity. Since the Senate seat would be permanent (not subject to re- election), a former President could remain completely above the pressures of factional, local, and regional interests. He could offer his views and his counsel as a former Chief Executive, not as a representative of any one particular State or region. I believe that a bill should be passed in Congress which would give former Presidents the life- time status of Senators-at-large. By creating this new position, the ex-President would not only be able to maintain his dignity and the dignity of our country, but he would also be in a position to use his genius to benefit the coun- try for the rest of his life.

A Novel View (Continued from Page 2) sessions are far more effective than five straight hours of work on any given subject. When you become bored and feel that you are slowing down, switch to the study of another subject. Above all do not waste your time at- tempting to learn something when you are tired and have had all you can take of a subject. Under these conditions it will take you an hour to do the work of ten minutes when you are fresh. 7. Keep in shape physically. Do not disrupt your normal living schedule. Eat what you are used to eating and when. Get some exercise. Sleep at night and study during the day. Do not strain your eyes with long sessions of reading. 8. Keep emotionally in shape. Avoid quarrels and upset emo- tions. Everyone is jumpy at the end of the year, and exams add to the electricity in the air; if you let yourself become upset emotionally you will not be able to concentrate on either your study or the exam. 9. Do not cram — REVIEW! Enter the examination room rest- ed, alert, emotionally at ease, and ready to do your best after hav- ing calmly looked over the year's work. 10. Do not let fear tempt you into dishonesty. If you are dis- honest your pride is hurt, for you realize that others are smarter than you, and that you must re- sort to cheating to achieve what they achieve on their own. When your pride is hurt you are emo- tionally upset, and cheating in one course affects the results in other courses in which you have not cheated. There are some students who thrive on examinations; they can second-guess the professor with amazing accuracy; they can re- view just what will be asked and no more. Intensive work never bothers them either physically or emotionally. But most students are demoralized by exams, and do not know how to prepare for them. Indeed, in many cases the student would do better on the tests if he did no cramming at all. If you can not cram properly, you may well be better off not cramming at all. Support the Crusaders Crusaders Score Victories Over Lycoming and Hartwick Susquehanna's basketball quin- tet rolled to its eighth win of the season last Wednesday as it out- scored Lycoming College by a 52-33 count. The victory kept the Crusaders in first place in the northern division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Lycoming attempted to employ freeze tactics by passing the ball around at half court without try- ing to score. They hoped to draw the Crusaders out of their zone defense in this manner, but their strategy backfired. Referee Don Manno warned the Warriors sev- eral times in the first half and finally called a technical foul early in the second half because of their stalling. The Williams- port area fans also expressed their disapproval of the Lyco tactics. Despite the Warriors' unwilling- ness to play give-and-go basket- ball, the Crusaders' ability to steal the ball enabled them to build up a 16-4 lead with three minutes to play in the first half. By the time Coach Barr put in his reserves, with three minutes remaining in the game, S.U. had piled up a 50-23 lead. Captain Bill Moore, Clark Mo- sier and Clark Schenck played fine ball for the Crusaders. Moore lead the scoring with 20 points, and pulled down 18 rebounds. Schenck grabbed 11 rebounds and scored five times from the field. • * * • * Coach Dan Sekanovich's junior varsity team dropped Lycoming's Jayvees by an 83-80 count in a fast-moving preliminary game. John Vignone, Pete Freimanis, and Dave Schumacher led the scoring attack for Susquehanna with 23, 21. and 17 points respec- tively. The game was constantly stopped for fouls as 80 penalty shots were awarded.

Sophomore Clark "Duke" Schenck played the finest game of his ca- reer, hitting for 16 points and leading the Barrmen in rebounds with eleven. The second half saw Mosier scoring mostly on steals and fast breaks as the Crusaders, who made 52' K of their shots from the floor, pulled away to clinch the 81-63 victory. Captain Bill Moore also scored in double figures as he hit for eleven points, and sophomore guard Joe Billig played a great game, particularly on the fast break, where time after time he fed Mosier for easy lay-ups.

The theme of the dance was "Pepper- mint Lounge," and the decora- tions, as well as music and re- freshments (peppermint punch and cookies) were in keeping with the theme. The lounge, crowded to overflowing, was also the scene of a Twist contest which was judged by Dr. Armstrong and Mr. Herb. The winners of the contest were Fred Hauser and Dianne Nor cross, who received miniature loving cups for their accomplish- ment. A tea was given on Friday, January 12, for our alumnae in the social room of Seibert Hall. We were reacquainted with some of the alumnae and were introduc- ed to the officers of the Alumna Association in Selinsgrove. En- tertainment consisted of a dance by Sister Bonnie Schaffer, a song by Sister Joyce Steinberg, a rou- tine from the co-ed party by six seniors, and group singing. Every- one enjoyed the opportunity to visit with the alums, and they are always welcome to our midst. Belated best wishes to those who have become engaged over the holidays. They are: Sister Lou Coccodrilli to Frank Pro- copio '61, of Lambda Chi Al- pha; Alumna Nancy Davis '61, to John Raab of Theta Chi; Sister Cindy Heist to Gene Alichwere '61 of Lambda Chi Alpha; Sister Bonnie Schaffer to Lloyd Hetten- bach; Alumna Anne Wilson '61 to William Andel. KAPPA DELTA This past Saturday, January 13, the Kappa Deltas were the guests at a luncheon at the Hotel Edison in Sunbury. Given to the girls by their Patronesses, under the presidency of Mrs. Robert Trow of Selinsgrove, the informal luncheon was very much enjoyed. The girls extend a sincere thank you to the Patronesses for their support and thoughtfulness throughout the year. The green and whites were glad to welcome Sister Lois Bin- nis back to campus after a re- cent illness that lengthened her vacation. Welcome back Lois! The Sisters also send good luck wishes to the entire student body during this exam period. Think of it this way — they'll be over in a week, and then its home for a good vacation. PHI EPSILON Phi Epsilon was honored by the visit of two Tau Kappa Epsilon Brothers from Bucknell on Jan- uary 7th. The Tekes offered fra- ternal assistance in both local and national affairs, and left a standing offer for the Phi Eps to visit their chapter at any time. Their interest manifests the sin- cere fellowship of one TKE for another. Several of the Phi Epsilon Brothers accepted the invitation of the Beta-Mu Chapter of TKE at Bucknell to go square dancing last weekend. The Phi Epsilon Brothers and their dates had a rollicking blast with their Teke Brothers of the near future. From the Philosopher's Corner: Oh, Tekes are fond of living, But when its comes to die, You will never hear a moan or groan, You will never hear a sigh; They jazz right up the golden steps, Y6u bet your life they do, For they want to meet their pal, St. Pete, For he's a good Teke too. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Activity at the Lambda Chi house has greatly diminished as the brothers have settled down to the semi-annual ordeal of final exams. Nevertheless, Len Bet- koski, the rush chairman, is still busily preparing for the rapidly approaching rush week. Congratulations to Alan Strau- bel who was brotherized last Wednesday night. On the intramural front, the brothers downed a strong Phi Mu basketball team in a tilt held last Wednesday, giving the bunders a three and two record. Best wishes are extended to Miss Audrey Ziegler who was re- cently pinned to brother Bob Squires. S.U.

Hall stormed to a strong second half finish in an intramural league game last Friday night versus South Dorm to upset the favorites and gain the league lead as the first half of the season draws to a close. G.A., after a weak first period during which they once trailed by a 20-4 score, finally caught fire with four minutes remaining in the half to close the gap at 20-14. The half ended with the South Dorm still holding a strong 29-20 lead. Ihe second half opened with the South Dorm increasing their lead to twelve points. G.A. then put their offense together, and with Metzger, Hirsch, and Plitt leading the parade, the lead was cut to three points with four min- utes remaining. The story of the last four minutes was chiefly that of stamina and rebounding. G.A. used both to good advantage to gain a fluctuating lead of three points which held until with two seconds remaining, Cueman add- ed the fourth for a 51-47 victory. Plitt was high scorer for G.A. with 15 points. Handcock led South Dorm with 12. In the first game of the evening, a strong Theta Chi five downed a game but outclassed Alpha House- Day Student quintet by a 5542 score.

In other recent games, the Green and White of Lambda Chi put on a strong second half scor- ing exhibition to tie the Orange and Black of Phi Mu Delta 40-40 at the final buzzer. Lambda Chi outscored the Delts by a 5-2 mar- gin in the overtime period to eke out a 45-42 win. Thomas and Rup- precht led the Orange and Black with ten markers each. Williams took top honors for the winners with 14 points. G.A. Hall outlasted North Dorm in a game last week to tack up a 42-38 victory. Cueman and Plitt shared scoring honors for G.A.

WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragle CIVIL DEFENSE ON CAMPUS NEW COURSE OF INSTRUCTION OFFERED by Robert Bechtel Beginning Thursday, February 1, from 7 until 9 p.m., students will study the official government course for instructors in Civil De- fense in the basement room of Steele Science Hall. Subjects covered will include: basic nuclear science, physical aspects of nuclear weapons, biomedical aspects of radiation, instrumentation, radioactive fallout, and the hazards of ionizing radiation. The information avail- able in this course should quickly dispel pessimistic notions about survival after atomic attack, particularly those who are in the "what's the use?" category. The course will last for 32 hours of instruction, will not require homework since the class time is adequate to learn all material, and the work will be paced so that everyone can keep up. The class is not sponsored by the government but will be taught by Dr. Houtz and Mr. Grosse as a contribution to our Civil Defense effort. However, all those who complete the course will probably receive a certificate qualifying them as Civil Defense Instructors. There are still a few openings, so interested persons are asked to contact either Dr. Houtz or Mr. Grosse. To put this course in proper perspective one should be aware of the Civile Defense Program as a whole and how it relates to our campus. Strictly speaking, Susquehanna does not have a Civil Defense Program of its own, nor is there a government plan for this college. Civil Defense, as it now exists, is not organized below the county level so that any effort in this area, such as the course to be taught here, is done in association with the Civil Defense Organization of Snyder County. The college 1 unctions as a part of the county defense effort. Recently, a refresher course similar to the one to be taught here was given to the Civil Defense Instructors of Snyder County. Sev- eral members of the faculty, including Dr. Zimmer who is Assistant County Director for Civil Defense, are active in the Snyder County program and students from the fraternities have taken part in prac- tice air raids. It is hoped that more of a program will develop as a result of the course. Eventually a core of about ten students is planned for each class that will provide a nucleus of interested, informed persons who can assist in preparing and locating shelters, survey and improve the necessary sanitary facilities for shelter sites, and generally stim- ulate interest and act as a source of information. The basic service provided will be one of information and use of existing facilities. In time of emergency these students could be relied upon to direct others and serve as monitors of radiation. In the larger area of Snyder County, we are favored with the emergency capital of Pennsylvania located in a building on the prem- ises of the Selinsgrove State School. The building is clearly marked, and visitors are permitted on most Saturday mornings if a request is made through Civil Defense authorities. Should an attack occur, this building will become headquarters for the governor and the ex- ecutive branch of the state government. Other areas throughout the county are designated as emergency hospitals, feeding stations, and monitoring centers. Most of the exact information is classified. This is a chance for interested students to serve in a worthwhile fashion and replace the many rumors and myths of atomic warfare with facts. SU8Qii£!<- 123 DAYS TO GO THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University RUSH WEEK 1962 VOL. 3 — NO. 15 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1962 RUSH WEEK INVADES CAMPUS FEB. 5-10 LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Lambda Chi Alpha, the second largest international fraternity in the world, had its beginning with a small, high school group in Bos- ton, Mass. This organization grew and subsequently established the Cosmopolitan Law Club in 1905 in Boston. By 1909 the Club was in dispute as whether to continue as a legal society or expand into a general fraternity. The pro- ponents of the latter idea finally broke away and formed Lambda Chi Alpha on November 2, 1909. By the end of 1912 the new fra- ternity already had six chapters. The Fraternity's greatest pe- riod of growth was during and immediately after World War I. The surging growth of Lambda Chi Alpha resulted in several significant developments. Chief among these were the establish- ment of a central office in 1919 at Dingston, Pa. The following year the office was moved to its permanent headquarters in In- dianapolis. Perhaps the biggest year in the history of Lambda Chi Alpha was 1939. During that year nationally known Theta Kap- pa Nu mergered with Lambda Chi Alpha. Lambda Chi Alpha now has 155 chapters, and 2 col- onies — 13 of which are located in Pennsylvania. Iota Eta Zeta, Lambda Chi Al- pha was founded at Susquehanna when Bond and Key, the oldest fraternal organization on the campus, chose to affiliate with a national organization. Our chap- ter of Lambda Chi has initiated 250 men into the national organ- ization to uphold its end of the General Fraternity. THETA CHI In 1942, Beta Kappa national fraternity merged with Theta Chi national and the current Theta Chi chapter came into ex- istence at Susquehanna. Since that time Beta Omega chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity has made constant strides on the campus. In 1960 the fraternity received a third place award for chapter showing outstanding improve- ment, during the previous year, from its national headquarters. Last year, Gilbert Askew, past president of Theta Chi, received third place in the balloting for the outstanding Theta Chi na- tionally in 196041. Theta Chi is active on Susque- hanna's campus in all phases of social, organizational and aca- demic life. The brotherhood re- tired the scholarship trophy this year by earning it for the third straight year. Theta Chi finished second in the intramural football league and will defend its two year win streak in the interfra- ternity-sorority sing this spring. One of the biggest jobs facing the brotherhood this spring will be the Regional Convention. This year 14 chapter from the Region Three area of the country will visit Beta Omega chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity for the annual re- gional convention. The week of February 5-10 will be a memorable one for Susque- hanna male freshmen as the an- nual Rush Week festivities dom- inate the campus scene. For one full week the rushees are wined (figuratively, of course) and din- ed at the fraternity houses in the final fling before pledging. One is reminded of a condemned man eating his final meal for after pledging the real work toward brotherization begins. The rush week schedule includ- es the full compliment of "smok- ers," meals, free cigarettes, and lots of pool and ping-pong. For- mal rushing begins Monday morn- ing when the freshmen receive their first lunch and dinner invi- tations. The meals will continue through the week, culminating in the pledge banquet on Friday, February 9. The order for the evening "smokers" this year is: Phi Mu Delta — Monday; Theta Chi — Tuesday; Lambda Chi Al- pha — Wednesday; Phi Epsilon — Thursday. The regular Rush Week rules will apply with fraternity men not permitted in the dormito- ries, all other houses closed on the night of another fraternity's smoker and the quiet period from midnight Thursday to 3 p.m. Fri- day. Pledging takes place Saturday or Sunday afternoon and the en- tire week is capped with individ- ual fraternity pledge parties on Saturday evening. Happy with a week of excitement the pledges troop back to the dorm wonder- ing about their pledge duties. Exhausted and glad to have sur- vived the fraternity men collapse into their beds with visions of "little Brothers" dancing in their heads. Rush Week 1962 is ended at S.U. PHI EPSILON Approximately one year ago, fourteen of the male students at Susquehanna became interested in forming a needed fourth social fraternity. With administrative backing, plans went forth and Phi Epsilon came into existence. The brotherhood has since grown to a fraternity of twenty men. Thir- teen of the brothers live in the home of the late Charles T. Aik- ens, former Susquehanna Univer- sity President. On May 9, 1961, Phi Epsilon chose to affiliate with the nation's largest social fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon . Plans are being made" to admit Phi Epsilon to chapter status in TKE before the end of this school year. Tau Kap- pa Epsilon does not permit ra- cial or religious discrimination, remains high in scholastic stand- ings, and is unique in not having a "blackball" system. The philosophy of Phi Epsilon has been and is to form a group that will stress brotherhood in a fraternity rather than member- ship in a club. Dr. 6. Morris Smith Succumbs; Past-Prexy Of Susquehanna Univ. Dr. G. Morris Smith, past pres- ident of Susquehanna University, died last week following a long period of illness. The funeral was held at St. John's Lutheran Church in Philadelphia. Dr. Smith is to be interred in Win- chester, Virginia. Dr. Smith is especially remem- bered by faculty members and the present Senior class. He com- pleted a long and successful term as President of Susquehanna in January, 1959. At that time he was presented with a gift by the University in appreciation of his long and faithful service. Dr. Smith is survived by his wife. Mrs. Smith is currently residing at: Germantown Manor Apt. 704 Green and Hartter Sti. Philadelphia 19, Pa. PHI MU DELTA Phi Mu Delta had its birth dur- ing the troubled war years of 1916 to 1918. The parent organization was the National Federation of Commons Clubs, which had been found at Wesleyan University in the spring of 1899. An element of the Federation voted in 1918 to establish the Greek letter frater- nity. The fraternity's governing body is the National Council, composed of seven officers elected bi-an- nually from Phi Mu Delta Alum- ni. Responsibilities of the Coun- cil indued: Administration, fi- nance, ritual, pledge training, scholarship, alumni relations, and communications. Mu Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu Delta can justly claim closer ties with the Chapter Alumni Associa- tion, and the National Fraternity Council than any other house at Susquehanna. The willing co- operation shown by these groups during the planning stage of Mu Alpha's expansion program points to this fact. Mu Alpha Chapter perennially has hadoutstanding men in prac- tically every course of study and nearly every extra-curricular ac- tivity on campus. We are proud of our house, our fraternity, our brotherhood. We will be proud of a fine 1962 pledge class.

It has had its ups and downs over a period of years but has, thus far, survived fairly well. At this writing it consists of four fraternities and three sororities. At this time of year the independents and hopeful freshmen begin to ask, "Is this fraternity system worth- while?" We will try to answer that question with the understanding that we are talking, at all times, about the system members 'all fra- ternities and sororities) and not any individual group. In just five days the 1962 version of Rush Week will dominate SU's campus. With it will come free meals, clouds of smoke, enter- tainment of various types, late hours, pressure, and exhaustion. Aca- demically the students take a breather as the larger portion of the campus devotes itself to "more pressing" matters. That resolution made after finals, "Boy, am I going to hit the books this semester," is rapidly broken. The cuts that were to be saved for Spring are soon used up, and for what? A person who pledges the fraternity system will devote four years, more or less, to that organization. He will experience headaches and good times, heartaches and joys, hard work and reward. He will be part of a system that has many faults, admitted and otherwise. Yet, despite all the difficulties and faults he will come out of the system a better person. Yes, the fraternity is not only worthwhile it is vital to SU's campus. Time and space limit our discussion of the values of the fraternity system. We could discuss that friendly atmosphere that greets an incoming freshman in the fall — and atmosphere created largely by fraternity people for many reasons. We could discuss the organization structure on campus — a structure that would collapse upon the with- drawal of all system members from participation. Or, we, could men- tion the campus social life — need we say more? However, let us dwell for a moment on perhaps the most important point — educa- tion for life. There is much to be learned in college outside the classroom, and the fraternity system plays a large roll in this aspect of college life. Pledges are taught to work with themselves and then with their par- ticular organizations. The fraternity system provides a microscopic cross section of life and includes many of the trials and tribulations of the outside world. The success of any group, or of the system it- self, is based on brotherhood and co-operation. As a result these two concepts are placed at a premium by stem members and teach a great meaning for later life. Yes, the fraternity system has its faults and its rewards. It is criticized, condemned and harassed and, yet, continues. Perhaps it is this continuation that is the final proof of validity. If it were not workable, it would not continue. If there are any further doubts about the system's validity, we would leave their dispelling to the individual member. Ask any sorority or fraternity person if he regrets his de- cision to become a part of the system. We doubt if, in all sincerity, you will find many who are sorry they are part of the fraternity system as they train to face life. L.B.

Basketball Team Boasts 9-3 Record at Mid-Semester Break by Mr. Safford SELINSGROVE, PA. - With a 9-3 record under its belt at mid- semester, Susquehanna's highflying dribblers stand a fine chance of posting the finest winning percentage in university basketball history. Last year's Crusaders nailed down a fine 17-6 record. This year's Orange and Maroon could top that marq by maintaining its present pace. Continued terrific individual performances from Head Coach John Barr's hoopsters give every indication that the Crusaders can do the trick. While still led by the 26 point average of junior guard Clark Mosier, Dallas, Pa., the recent top-notch play of sophomore forward Clark Schenck, Robesonia, Pa., has been a tremendous factor in S.U.'s latest wins. Both players won selection to the E.C.A.C. Small College All-East Basketball Team of the Week for the parts they played in S.U.'s triumphs over Lycoming and Hartwick. Mosier sank 34 points against the New Yorkers, the fifth time he has topped 30 this year, while the rugged Schenck ripped the cords for a total of 26 points and hauled off 22 rebounds in the two contests. Mosier rated a first team choice by E.C.A.C. for his job against Hartwick. In addition, the pace maintain- ed under the boards by team captain Bill Moore, junior for- ward from Shamokin, Pa., and Jim Gallagher, Centralia, Pa., has been hard to match by Cru- sader foes. Both standing 6-5 and weighing 200 plus, the two big men from the coal regions have combined for an average of 19 points and 25.2 rebounds per game. This fearsome duo has received first-class support from sophomore center Tom McCar- rick, Elmira, N.Y., who, in using his huge 6-8 frame to great ad- vantage, has helped S.U. control the boards and rank as one of the nation's small college defen- sive leaders. Barr's "Bix Six" is rounded out by sophomore guard Joe Bil- lig, Milton, Pa., who has been one of the real big reasons for S.U.'s success. Billig's fine outside shooting ability and terrific feed- ing on the fast break have made him a man to contend with, hence taking a great deal of the offen- sive load from the shoulders of Mosier. The Crusaders, having tempo- rarily ceased action on the hard- woods for final exams, will get back into action February 1 against Juniata in Huntingdon, Pa.

At present, 105 collegiate chapters are affili- ated with this national organiza- tion. Upholding Alpha Delta Pi's standards and ideals, Gamma Omicron strives for excellence in scholarship, interest in campus activities, and perfection in de- veloping toward Christian wom- anhood. Its motto, "We live for each other," signifies its goal to establish a close relationship which will continue throughout life. Besides contributing to the many philanthropic projects adopted by Alpha Delta Pi, Gam- ma Omicron demonstrates helpful services on a local level. Twice a year it presents variety shows at the State School, and it holds a Christmas party and an Easter party annually with Lambda Chi Alpha and Phi Mu Delta respec- tively for the children of the Selinsgrove area. Its annual social functions in- clude a co-ed party, a lounge dance, shoe shines, campus ser- enades, alumnae parties, teas, and various banquets. Each year the president of Gamma Omicron joins with the presidents of the other ADPi chapters in attending the national convention. Each semester a scholarship bracelet is awarded to a member of each chapter at- taining the highest academic re- cord for that period. Gamma Omicron was recipient of the float trophy in October's Home- coming festivities. Many important campus posi- tions are held by members of the blue and white. Gamma Omicron is the sorority of the president of Tau Kappa, the song leader of SAI, the co-editor of The Crusad- er, the president of Panhellenic, the chairman of May Day, the senior Homecoming representa- tive, and of two students named to "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Uni- versities."

SELINSGROVE, PA. - A sec- ond tract of land valued at $7,500 has been turned over to Susque- hanna University by Mr. and Mrs. Simon B. Rhoads of Selinsgrove, Susquehanna President Gustave W. Weber announced today. The property, a 1961 "Christ- mas gift" was presented as an expression of continuing confi- dence in the university's current "accelerated program and expan- sion." The Rhoads couple made a similar gift to Susquehanna for Christmas 1960. The property, adjoining the S.U. parking area on University Avenue, begins at the boundary of the first tract and runs for 300 feet easterly along undeveloped Chestnut Street. It consists of about 45,000 square feet. A year ago Susquehanna took option on the purchase of addi- tional Rhoads property in the same area. The eventual increase to campus real property holdings will approximate three to four acres. Simon Rhoads, a Susquehanna graduate of 1930, is president of Rhoads Mill of Selinsgrove, Win- field and Beaver Springs. A lead- ing civic figure, he also is a well known big-game hunter who has pursued his hobby in the far reaches of the world. Active in the interests of his alma mater, he serves as alumni representa- tive on the universitys Athletic Committee, and currently is a member of the committee plan- ning Alumni Day activities for May 5, 1962. Mrs. Rhoads, the former Kath- ryn Jarrett, also attended Sus- quehanna with the class of 1934. Also active in university affairs, she this year is third vice presi- dent and program chairman of Susquehanna's Women's Auxilia- ry. KAPPA DELTA Kappa Delta Sorority was founded by four college women on October 23, 1897 at the Virginia State Normal School (now Long- wood College), in Farmville Vir- ginia. The sorority became a member of the National Panhel- lenic Council in 1912. Beta Up- silon at S.U received its charter in May, 1950. National Kappa Delta has 102 Active Chapters, over 47,500 members, and 322 Alumnae Chapters, the second largest Alumnae group of national sororities in the United States. The national philanthropy, the Crippled Childrens Hospital in Richmond, Va., is supported through contributions from indi- vidual members and the KD Christmas Seals which are unique in the Greek world. Beta Upsilon helps support this work through their annual Car Wash and fash- ion shows. Kappa Delta Sorority stresses good scholarship, participation in campus activities, and gracious living. Its colors are olive green and pearl white, and its flower is the white rose. The motto of the sorority is "Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest." A national convention is held biannually with all of the chap- ters and many alumnae repre- sented. President Judy Arnold attended the 1961 convention in Roanoke, Virginia, where she spent a wonderful week at the Hotel Roanoke. Beta Upsilon is an active chap- ter of 44 Sisters. Social functions during the year include the Moth- er's Club Ceremony, Parents Day Banquet, Patroness Christmas Party, Coed parties, and the Pledge and Senior Banquets. White Rose Week, the climax of pledging, re-emphasizes the close bonds between Sisters and pledg- es. Last year the chapter placed second in the Inter-Fraternity Sorority Sing. This year Beta Upsilon will be host to its seven province chapters, including Bucknell and Penn State, for the sorority workshop. ALPHA XI DELTA Alpha Xi Delta was formally recognized at Lombard College, Galesburg. Illinois, on April 17, 1893. The sorority was founded by a group of ten earnest young women, who were convinced that their new fraternity, A\pha Xi Delta, could and should be an active influence for highest quali- ty throughout the student body, and to make the campus a friend- lier, more stimulating place — an ideal that the Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta continue to cherish. On May 11, 1958, Alpha Xi Delta pledged the local sorority, Nu Sigma Tau, as its Gamma Kappa Chapter and was granted its charter on November 16, 1957. Since then the "Fuzzies" (as they are enthusiastically known on campuses throughout the country) have sought to cultivate a true spirit of friendship among its members and maintain in all acts the highest sense of honor and duty. Alpha Xi Delta has the distinc- tion of having been one of the ten original Panhellenic groups. A Xi D has a very wide recog- nition for its expensive philan- thropic work, which has been de- voted to our own country's child welfare. In 1950 A Xi D was given the high distinction of being the only women's Greek letter fra- ternity invited to participate in the Mid-Century White House Convention on Children. The "Fuzzies" have given unselfish- ly of their time by extending a hand of friendship and good will to the handicapped children at the Selinsgrove State School. Since its installation at S.U., A Xi D has made great contribu- tions to the life and leadership of the campus. Many serenades, lounge dance, the much-anticipat- ed Spring Rose Formal, and the cherished possession of the schol- arship trophy for two consecutive years contribute to A Xi D's ever impressive growing record. Page 4-THE CRUSADER-Wednesday, January 31, 1962 "BEST DRESSED" NOMINEES SELECTED LINDA WASSAM JUDY ROTHE RMEL MIDGE ROTH L Kappa Delta and Theta Chi have nominated Miss Midge Roth for Best Dressed Coed. Midge, an attractive sophomore from Nuremberg, Pennsylvania, is a graduate of West Hazleton High School. A vivacious and active student, she was a member of the Alpha Xi Delta's are very proud of their outstanding song leader, lovely Linda Wassam, and have evidenced it in their nominating her for Best Dressed Coed. Her beauty, poise, and talent have already been judged as superla- tive for Linda captured the crown of "Miss Susquehanna Valley" in November of 1960. Linda, a striking brunette, hails from Millerstown. She is a music major. She showed her musical talent as a vocalist in the oper- etta performed at Susquehanna last year. On campus Linda is active in Sigma Alpha Iota, S.C.A. and F.T.A. With her ever winning smile, Linda creates a sparkling personality on cam- pus. Judy Rothermel, a blonde-hair- ed beauty, has been selected Lambda Chi's candidate for Glamour's "Best Dressed Coed Contest." Judy, a sophomore, is enrolled in S.U.'s Liberal Arts curriculum, her major interests being sociology and English. She has been active in the Future Teachers Association and other campus organizations. Always impeccably dressed, Judy is easily recognized on and off campus. The statuesque blonde from suburban Wyomissing is also a member of the Reading Junior League, an active civic organization. Ann Cramer, a petite eighteen year old freshman from South Sterling, Pa., has been nominated by the Brothers of Phi Epsilon Fraternity as Susquehannas Best Dressed Co-ed. Ann is five feet one inch tall, has light brown hair, and charming blue eyes. A popular girl in high school, Ann served as Vice President of the National Honor Society, Trea- surer of the Tri-Hi-Y, and par- ticipated in various other activi- ties. Among her other accom- plishments, she was chosen as the Most Popular Senior Girl, Girl of the Month in Wayne Coun- ty, and received the Daughters of the American Revolution Award. Her interests range from sports to current events. At present Ann is enrolled in Susquehanna's Liberal Arts course, and intends to enter the teaching profession. Nominated by Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Phi Mu Delta fra- ternity, Sally Lockett is a blue- eyed petite blonde (5'2", 103 lbs.) who is known all over campus for her easy smile. A senior English major from Moosic, she is active as a sister in Alpha Delta Pi and as the president of Pan- hellenic. Her nomination is well supported by her experiences as a model for the Globe Store in Scranton and her participation in fashion shows sponsored by "Mademoiselle" magazine. In the 1961 Homecoming coronation, Sal- ly represented the senior class. Emphasizing the "campus look," this well-groomed miss displays an adequate collegiate wardrobe. In addition, her plentiful ward- robe includes clothing necessary for special occasions. honor society, cheerleading squad, the Varsity W, the glee club, and a class officer.

Kathleen Casey, Editor-in-Chief of GLAMOUR Magazine, recently announced the opening of the 1962 "Ten Best Dressed College Girls in America" contest. In her statement Mrs. Casey said, "Through the contest and our annual August College Issue it is our hope to show young wom- en that careful thought to appear- ance is an important part of an education; that good looks, good grooming and a good mind are all a part of the outstanding young women of today. This is the sixth year we have held the 'Ten Best Dressed College Girls' Con- test. The tremendous growth and popularity of the contest during these years is undeniable proof that our idea is a most appeal- ing one to college women and also to the faculties of the par- ticipating colleges. "We welcome your participa- tion with enthusiasm and we are counting on you and your fellow students to help us make the 1962 competition the biggest and best in the six year history of the contest." The following are the 10 points for judging listed by the GLAM- OUR editors. The Crusader hopes all students will carefully con- sider these points before voting: 1. Good figure, beautiful posture. 2. Clean, shining, well-kept hair. 3. Good grooming, impeccable. 4. A deft hand with the make-up. 5. Clear understanding of fash- ion type. 6. Imagination in managing a clothes budget. 7. A workable wardrobe plan. 8. Individuality in use of colors. 9. A suitable campus look. 10. Appropriate — not rah rah — off campus look. . All Susquehanna students are eligible to vote. VOTING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE LOUNGE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1962, FROM 11 A.M. - 3:15 P.M.

U. Students Volunteer Time To Selinsgrove State School Many false ideas have been erased from the minds of the Susque- hanna students who have been doing volunteer work at the Selinsgrove State School this past semester. They volunteer an hour of their time and energy per week to do this work. They work any day Monday through Friday between 9:30 and 11:30 and 1 to 3:30 — some may work a later hour next semester in certain departments. The students who do volunteer work there may choose the hour and day on which they wish to contribute their time. The students are placed in their positions according to their par- ticular talents and interests — no special additional training is needed. They give that special attention — personal attention — to children in the wards. They help give that personal touch to the recreation program. Some help teach classes in the school. Miss Mildred Peterson is the Director of Volunteer Services at the Selinsgrove State School. She said that she has had fine reports from the school staff concerning the contribution that the students have made. She also stated that the children and other patients have been pleased and happy to have this extra individual atten- tion that they have been receiv- ing from the students. Not only have the students working there become enlighten- ed as to the purpose of the State School and the contributions and needs of those living there, but also, the reports of their experi- ences have clarified many false ideas of the other students on campus. One example of the closer contact was portrayed by girls at SU who contributed gifts toward the ward on which Linda Scharff does volunteer work. Oth- er student volunteers have done personal things for the persons at the school at Christmas time. (Continued on Page 3) "Is Religion Relevant to Mod- ern Life Today?" This was the topic of discussion at the recent meeting of the Pre-Theologioal Association of Susquehanna Uni- versity. Dr. Norman Ofslager, Mr. David H i n d m a n, James Black, and Donald Cornelius com- posed the panel moderated by John Ohst, President. The mem- bers contributed to this analysis of the church and the real mean- ing of its teachings to life today — its weaknesses and contribu- tions to contemporary society. From a dinner meeting, which opened the college year, to a movie, entitled "Is This for Me?" the Association has used various opportunities to pursue its plans. In addition to topics, discussions, and movies the Association is planning a program at the Selins- grove State School. The Rever- end Lawrence Reese of the Board of Parish Education, ULCA, will present the topic and discussion at the March meeting of Pre- Theological Association members and other campus students. Summer Employment Directory Available A directory which lists summer jobs for college students through- out the United States is now avail- able. The SUMMER EMPLOYMENT DIRECTORY gives the names and addresses of 1,367 organiza- tions which want to employ col- lege students. It also gives the positions open, salary, and sug- gestions on how to make applica- tion — a sample letter of applica- tion and a personal data sheet. There are all types of summer camp jobs listed in every state; there are jobs at resorts in the New England States, the North- eastern States, lhe Great Lakes area, and the Western States. College students are needed in: 20 national parks and national monuments, 34 ranches in the West and New York State, sum- mer theatres in 15 states, busi- ness and industry at scattered locations, and various depart- ments of the government. In ad- dition to these popular summer employers, many other organiza- tions list their needs for summer help. Students wishing summer work make application to the employ- ers listed in the directory. Em- ployers are included at their own request, and they invite applica- tions from college students. The SUMMER EMPLOYMENT DIRECTORY is available in the library. Also, a considerable number of public libraries now have a copy of this directory. Students who wish to have a SUMMER EMPLOYMENT DI- RECTORY for their own use may obtain a copy by sending $3.00 to the publisher: National Directory Service, Dept. C, Box 32065, Cin- cinnati 32, Ohio. Maynard Ferguson Concert Set For Saturday, March 24 As The "Big Band" Sound Comes To SU The Big Band sound is coming to S.U.! ! Yes, Saturday, March 24 is the red-letter day when Maynard Ferguson will appear on the Sus- quehanna campus. Maynard Ferguson and his twelve piece orchestra will appear through the auspices of the Student Council. Ferguson's orchestra plays what it can play best. For this reason, the men in the band en- joy what they are playing and enjoy a feeling of integrity to- ward the public and the music busines. "I know that the audi- ence can sense this enthusiasm in our music and I think it has contributed a great deal to our success," Maynard reports. Ferguson's own career has combined plenty of hard work with high musical standards. Canadian born, he was consider- ed a child prodigy on the violin at the age of four. At the ripe old age of nine, he began to study trumpet. He was a bandleader at fifteen in an orchestra whose members were mostly twice his age. He had played with such leading bands as those led by Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet, Boyd Raeburn and Stan Kenton before forming his own aggrega- tion. His heavy schedule includes, in addition to his responsibilities as a band leader, a daily two-hour practice period on his trumpet and a rigorous conditioning pro- gram of exercises and workouts. When not on tour, he spends all the leisure time he can manage with his family. He and his love- ly wife, Flo, have three daugh- ters. Flo shares her husband's enthusiasm for golf and the mae- stro also enjoys puttering with his Jaguar or training the family dog, Rasheed. Student Council President, Walt Fox, has asked that the student body support their Council in making the Ferguson concert a huge success on the S.U. campus.

Pi Gamma Mu Hears Two Faculty Talks The Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu held its January meeting at the home of Prof. Frederick Stevens, Uni- versity Heights, on January 11, 1962. In lieu of the speaker of the evening who was unable to come because of illness, Mr. Philip Bossart presented two film strips on the subject of teaching ma- chines, their techniques and uses; a general discussion followed. The February meeting was held at the home of Philip Bossart, 115 North Market Street, Selinsgrove. Again because of illness, the scheduled speaker was unable to appear. In his place, Dr. Charles Rahter, head of English Depart- ment at S.U., spearheaded and moderated a lively discussion be- tween faculty and students on the subject of English used in com- position. The faculty maintained that the English used by the ma- jority of the students on this cam- pus in composition as well as in speaking is atrocious — to put it mildly; the students countered that the professors are not much better. Plans were also made for the Chapter's banquet meeting which will be held next month and for the open meeting in May.

The son of Venus and Jupiter (Cupid of course) can be heard buzzing about sending his arrows winging on their various missions. St. Val- entine's Day is one of candy, cards and bright red hearts. It has a universal meaning that can be said in many ways but is basically em- bodied in Cupid, God of Love. The original idea behind Valentine Day was that birds began to mate on that day. The practice began of young people choosing their "valentines" on that day by sending missives of an amatory or sa- tirical nature, usually anonymously. The first valentines were exag- gerated colored characters of men or women with a few verses written below. More recently they have become quite artistic or sentimental. St. Valentine was a bishop of Rome during the Third Century. He had a very amiable nature and possessed remarkable gifts of elo- quence. He was so successful in converting Romans to Christianity that he incurred the wrath of the emperor. As a result he was mar- tyred by order of the emperor on February 14, 270 A.D. Valentine Day is like Christmas in many ways. In certain cases gifts are given and people generally think about others and love in- stead of hate and themselves. It is a time when happiness and thought- fulness pervade the Christian portion of the human race. We feel that the spirit of Valentine Day, like that of Christmas, should be carried over into everyone's daily life. It's so much easier to be pleasant to people than to ridicule or attack them. Wouldn't each person in the world rather be with "that certain someone" than a person they dis- liked? Both life and love are give and take propositions. Perhaps its about time Americans stopped trying to see how much they can get. President Kennedy was aware of this when he said in his inaugural address that Americans should ask what they can do for their country. Let us enjoy Valentine Day and all that is a part of it. Let us make a resolution to try and be pleasant to all mankind, to be sincere and thoughtful in our dealings with people, and to be especially con- siderate of "that special one." Perhaps we can best meet all these challenges by keeping the greatest example of love always before us: "For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

Dear Editors, IN MEMORIAM It is with deepest regret that we hereby take public notice of the recent demise of the men's residence dormitory familiarly known as the Alpha House. The anticipated passing occurred quietly on the evening of January 29, 1962, after "suffering" the ef- fects of a Business Office econo- my mandate. Physically speaking, the Alpha House was decadent, a condition readily concealed by the congeni- al atmosphere contained therein. During 'Homecoming, Halloween, and Christmas, however, the ex- terior was resplendent with dec- orations indicative of the current season or occasion. Only the all-pervading spirit of camaraderie that prevailed has escaped the solitude of the desert- ed edifice. Genuine friendships remain to recall the fond mem- ories of a semester shared by thirteen individuals. The intra- mural teams, periodic parties, and "illegal" mascot are all cher- ished recollections of members of the late Alpha House "clan." The entire college commiser- ates with the boys of the Alpha House for their irrevocable loss and feels indebted to them for the unique spirit they contributed to the campus. . Yes, — "Sox," "Tennessee," "Virg," "Switch," "Arab," "J. C," "Pierre," "Zorro," "Hat," "Yogi," "Disciple," "Reeb," and "Doc" — we thank you. Sincerely, Alan Bachrach December 1961 Dear foster parents, How are you, dear foster par- ents? On the 28th of November, I received your letter very glad- ly. I usually sing the song of "Bell," "Cloud" and "The Spi- der's Thread" and others. I like the children's story, fairy tales and Aesop's fables. At school, I study National language, arith- matics, natural science, social life, drawing, health exercise, technical education and moral. Soon, I'll graduate from primary , school. I passed the exam for middle school entrance. The weather of here is getting colder and we had snow, too. We like the skating and the snow man making and the snow ball fight. On the 24th of October, we had the celebration for UN Day and we marched on the street. How was your Christmas day? Our Christmas was so wonderful with kind UN soldiers visited us with many presents. At home, we had the amateur contest of play and voice. New comers of our home forced to join it and I did, too. Like this, I am happy and joyful every day owing to your favour. By this time, I re- ceived $4.63 — Hwan 6,000) — through Plan very gladly. By it, I could examine my physical ex- amination and I purchased vita- min tablets. I know well it owes much to your favour.

Lawrence Holds College Press Conference In Capitol Governor David L. Lawrence chats briefly with Crusader Co-Editor Les Butler following a press conference held in Harrisburg last Thurs- day. On Thursday, February 8, 1962, Governor David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania held a Press Conference for college newspaper editors throughout the state. Forty-two college papers were represented by fifty-seven editors. Auditing the conference from the working press were members of United Press International, Associated Press and the Harrisburg Patriot. Co-editor, Les Butler, was present as Sus- quehanna's representative. The press conference was held in the Governor's reception room, a plush room on the second floor of the capitol building in Harris- burg. Shortly after 2:00 p.m. the Governor entered with the Sec- retary of Commerce, Secretary of Administration and Secretry of the Budget. He welcomed the group saying, "First of all, I want to welcome you to our second col- lege press conference and to say how happy we are to have you and to see your display of interest in governmental and political af- fairs." Governor Lawrence made a few introductions and then con- cluded his opening remarks, "All right, as Dewey said at Manila: 'Fire when you are ready.' " Questions were fired from all parts of the room and the Gov- ernor met each one capably. Among the more interesting ques- tions asked were the following: James Talda of Albright asked the governor if any action could be taken on the elimination of the sales tax on college text books. The Governor asked Mr. David Kurtzman, Secretary of Admin- istration to answer, "If we can find a way of exempting textbooks without getting involved in the whole question of what constitutes a textbook, I think the opinion would be to exempt." Shortly after the conference be- gan, Senator Joseph Clark hap- pened by and was introduced by the Governor, "May I interrupt for just a minute. This nice look- ing young man that just came in (Continued on Page 3) General Services Office Lists Clerical Civil Service Tests Miss Wanda M. Paul, Recruitment Representative from the Gen- eral Services Administration, Washington, D.C., is in this area for a limited time only to interview and test stenographers and typists for positions with the Central Office in Washington. To qualify, applicants must be high school graduates, able to type 40 words per minute, and pass a general clerical test. Ste- nographers, in addition, must be able to take dictation at the rate of 80 words per minute. Appli- cants must be 18 years of age at the time they actually begin work. Salaries are determined by the rating received on the examina- tion and the number of years of work experience. Stenographers have GS-3, 4 or 5 ratings, and earn from $72.40 to $83.55 per week, with automatic salary in- creases of $105.00 to $165.00 each year for satisfactory perform- ance. When asked about promo- tional opportunities, Miss Paul stated that it is the policy of GSA to promote its more efficient em- ployees to positions of greater re- sponsibility whenever there are vacancies for which they qualify. Each year GSA employees earn two and one-half weeks of sick leave and annual leave (vaca- tion), and after three years the annual leave is increased to four weeks. Room reservations are made for recruits in advance of their ar- rival and assistance is given by General Services Administration in obtaining suitable permanent housing. Miss Paul will meet each recruit at the station on their arrival in Washington and take (Continued on Page 3) — ammmm^^mfmmm WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragle Have you ever wondered what is really involved in publishing a weekly campus paper? Having submitted material for the past sev- eral weeks, I am beginning to appreciate the complexity of the job of the newspaper staff, and felt that students should know more about the newspaper's less-acclaimed activities. A point of interest is the copy room. Few people ever remember that it even exists, but I am only beginning to comprehend its exten- sive tasks and responsibilities. This week, then, I should like to trace the progress of an article through the copy room. As I see it, things must go something like this: The following article is presented: "Even from a completely selfish point of view, purity of life and thought are to be sought after, for these are to the eventual good of the individual himself. Through his conviction and self-discipline, his life assumes meaning and direction, and his behavior, once as pur- poseless as that of a decapitated chicken, becomes exemplary in its quality and nobility." Before the material goes to press, the editor(s) and copyreaders check it for suitability, grammatical errors, etc.: Individual A: I'm disturbed by this phrase, "decapitated chicken." It sounds too stark and realistic, and suggests inhumanity toward ani- mals. Can't we substitute something else in there? Individual B: Well, let's not get too far away from the meaning. It ought to have something to do with a chicken. How about, "Why does a chicken go across the road?" I think we need a joke in there any- how, sort of as a comic relief, to keep the readers from getting bored. Individual C: Nonesense! We can't have any such thing. That old joke isn't even on a college level! What we need is something we know they'll like — the traveling salesman joke, for instance. Don't you think they'd appreciate reading that one again? Individual A: Here are some other things I don't like. Certainly we don't want the term "completely selfish" to appear in our paper. And what about this "purity of life and thought?" Don't you think that's a bit suggestive? After all, when one reads that, he's bound to think also of impure living and thinking. I say we should keep our articles completely respectable. These things just have to go. Individual D: This joke doesn't seem to fit. Doggone! If he was going to tell a joke, why did he have to bring it in so abruptly? We'll have to introduce it somehow — Let's see: "For the benefit of those who may not have heard ..." Individual C: No, NO! Everybody has heard it. Give me the paper, I think I've got it. Yes, this is what we want. He'll be proud to have his by line on this, even though we did do most of the work. And so the article goes to the printer: "Even though you have all heard it, we repeat for your enjoyment an old, favorite story. Once there was a traveling salesman, who stopped at a farmhouse . . . ." ** ** ** ** ** ** An informative article on the campus newspaper will soon appear. Also in preparation for the very near future is an all-poetry column. If you wish to submit poetry for that purpose, mail it to Box 83, Campus. Gov. Lawrence (Continued from Page 2) is Senator Joseph S. Clark. As long as he can stay here, along the line, if you want to ask him some questions, fire at him too." Edward Morgan of Lebanon Valley asked the Senator if he had any opinions on gubernatorial or senatorial candidates in com- ing elections. Senator Clark drew a round of laughter when he re- plied, "I have strong opinions, but I do not intend to reveal them at this time." Les Butler of Susquehanna ask- ed the Governor if he would care to comment on his future plans. Governor Lawrence replied, "I have no definite plans, except to finish out this term and do as good a job as I can in the next eleven months. But I intend to write a couple of books — one on politics and one on the Pittsburgh Renaissance of which I was a part. I am going to keep active in politics. As I said not long ago, I expect to be active until the priest says the pater noster over me when they are putting me under six feet of ground." All in all the conference was a fine experience for those people who participated. The questions -asked were quite thought provok- ing. The Governor handled him- self extremely well and gave evidence of his political and ora- torical skill.

Miss Paul stated that "Working in the Nation's Capital is a won- derful opportunity for any girl. The work at GSA is interesting and challenging, promotional op- portunities are good, and the of- fice is centrally located in down- town Washington, just two blocks from the White House. For those who would like to enroll in eve- ning classes, there is one Uni- versity across the street from our building and two others within walking distance. Washington is a beautiful and exciting city in which to live and to work. There are hundreds of young girls work- ing in government in Washington who are away from home for the first time, and very seldom does one leave because she is lonesome or homesick. There is so much to do in Washington to keep them busy — they just can't get home- sick. Sightseeing alone can take forever." Miss Paul stated "Also, girls from this area have the ad- vantage over many of the girls, as they are close enough to come home occasionally on weekends."

Anything done is a help. They must be given "some sort of an aim in life," said another volunteer. Several said it is re- warding and interesting work and it doesn't take much to make them happy. They may ask, "Why didn't you come last week?" because they know you come each week and they look for you to come if you are a stu- dent volunteer. "They taught me more than I could help them," said one SU co-ed. Rudy Van der Hiel was respon- sible for introducing the 21 Sus- quehanna students into this vol- unteer program. If you are in- terested in taking the opportunity to enter this work experience second semester, please see Rudy, Miss Peterson at the State School, or one of the following students who have worked there this first semester: Bonnie Adams, William Andes, Judy Bair, David Bartelt, Jane Beers, Bonnie Bell, John Eggert, Jack Frank, John Horn, Marian Hous- er, James Hutchinson, George Mowers. Carolyn Moyer, James Norton, James Parks, Elizabeth Phillips, David Raffetto, Linda Scharff, Robert Stackhouse and Aurelie Taconita. The reasons for working as a volunteer are many — to get a new experience, to taste a field which is a possible vocation, to give love where it is greatly need- ed, or to receive the correct un- derstanding of the people and ac- tivities in the School and Hospital — the result is the same — re- warding and invaluable. MISS JUDY BLEE MISS NANCYLEE DUNSTER Students from the Music Division will present a program devoted to song literature and to music drama on February 16 and 17 at 8:00 p.m. in Seibert Chapel. N Featured Friday evening will be Nancylee Dunster, senior mu- sic education student who will sing two groups of songs. She will be accompanied by Judith Blee. Nancylee will also participate in the operas, "The Magic Flute" by Mozart and "Lantern Marri- age" by Offenbach.

Peggy Walters will do the announcing; William Andel and Brentwood Henzel, stage hands; Bette Davis, make-up; and Nita Zimmerman and Nancy Good, page turners. WHERE FRIENDS MEET To Eat When Away From Home THE LAMP POST WHERE SUSQUEHANNANS MEET Abb Shaffer, Proprietor Selinsgrove-Sunbury Highway Page 4— THE CRUSADER-Wednesday, February 14, 1962 Out Of A Test Tube by TOM HANSHAW In the opinion of the writer, evolution has been a constant prob- lem plaguing the minds of men throughout his existence upon the earth. Did I evolve from some primitive animal, more simple in structure than I appear, or was I created by the Lord in my present form? No one will ever be able to arrive at an answer which will sat- isfy everyone, but there seems to be two schools of thought on this subject; one group is the scientists, who firmly believe that man did evolve from a primitive organism and the other group is the men of the cloth, who are just as strongly convinced that man came upon the earth as a being greatly resembling man of today. In a series of two articles, both sides of the picture will be pre- sented, beginning with the scientific standpoint this week. But be- fore we embark upon our discussion based upon such an extremely controversial subject, it should be pointed out that individuals, scien- tists included, who advocate the theory of evolution do not, (allow me to repeat), do not deny the existence of God or some Supreme Power. Only a fool could study the natural sciences, confronted by the intri- cate, systematic planning of nature; the beautiful complexity of the universe and the magnificent organization of man and assert that there is no God or Supreme Being. Yes, only an unreasonable fool could make such a statement. The conclusion to which most biological scientists have been learning is that all living organisms are the descendants of earlier, and in many cases, less developed living creatures. Species, it is now believed, have been mutable from the beginning and have arisen from other species. It is quite possible that the earliest form of life, and possibly the ancestor of all living things, was a uni-cellular or- ganism, greatly resembling the Euglena. The evidence science has accumulated is by no means enough for positive proof, and there is truth in the contentions of believers that evoultion is a highly specu- lative theory, but the evidence is sufficient to satisfy the minds which have considered it fairly. The greatest advancement in the theory of evolution in relatively modern times is Charles Darwin's "Origin of the Species." This great work was a very prolific literary advancement in the scientific world which produced probably the most evolutionary theory of our time: 'The Struggle for the survival of the fittest through natural selection." What was Mr. Darwin trying to tell the people of the 1850's and many generations to come? Here Darwin was exploiting the power of nature to weed out the weak individuals of a specie thru natural means. In other words, the specie of rabbits that lived on the plain would benefit greatly from speed in their ambulatory character- istics. Those members of the specie who are able to escape their enemies will survive, but those rabbits who do not possess great speed will eventually be killed off by their attackers. Thus nature (the at- tacker) will select for those who are the most fit, and these individuals will produce offspring who are also most suited for survival in their environment. For one billion years living organisms have been ex- posed to natural selection and thru many eras, periods and eons these species have evolved to our higher animals and ultimately the Homo- sapian. ■**- Alfred Russel Wallace's summary of the evidence, though made two generations ago, would hardly be changed by contemporary schol- ars. ig "The facts now very briefly summarized amount almost to a demonstration that man, in his bodily structure, has been derived from the lower animals of which he is the culminating development. In his possession of rudimentary structures of the mammals; in the numerous variations of his muscles and other organs agreeing with characters which are constant in some apes; in embryonic develop- ment, absolutely identical in character with that of mammals in gen- eral, and closely resembling in its details that of higher quadrumana (animals with hand-like structures); and in the wonderful approxima- tion of his skeleton to those of one or other anthispoul apes, we have an amount of evidence in this direction which it seems impossible to explain away." This evidence will appear even more forcible if we consider what the its rejection implies. The only alternative theory is, that man has been specifically created. That is to say he has been produced in some quite different way from outher animals and is alto- gether independent of them. This is, very generally, the scientific view of evolution. You may not believe a word, phrase or sentence of this article, but these ara proven facts and every student should be cognizant of these theories whether you advocate them or not. Next week this article will attempt to appease the less scientific minded readers (I hope there are some) by presenting the biblical stand on the origin of man.

If you have ever thrilled to the soaring grandeur of a bridge . . . admired the peaceful flow of a great river ... or contentedly watched an artist bring a street scene to life on canvas — there's one place on earth most likely to delight you. Wednesday February 21 It is Paris, where more than 30 bridges span the River Seine, and beret-topped painters toil dili- gently at their easels along the waterway's banks and quays. If the artists have their own unique personalities, so do the bridges. One span has the comfortable air of a money dowager. Another has the severe look of a spinster. A third, with the help of civic beauty aids, has kept its grace- fulness despite more than 450 years of heavy traffic moving across it. In any discourse on Paris bridges it is impossible to put by another impressive French "bridge" more than 3,000 miles away. It is the bridge provided by Air France jet flights which daily fly between New York and the City of Light. Helping to span time and distance are the Boeing 707 Intercontinental jet, attentive hostesses, gourmet cuisine, and special decor — all authentically French. Americans, eager to be in France the minute they take- off, relish the atmosphere, the re- gional cuisine, and the elegant surroundings while they drift into relaxed enjoyment of flight at 575 m.p.h. The Heart of Paris The Seine divides Paris into the Right or northern Bank, and the Left Bank. The Right Bank is the center of fashion, commerce, business and amusements, and the Left or southern Bank, the haunt of artists, students, and writers, as well as the site of French government buildings. The He de la Cite, a boat shaped island in the Seine, is the original heart of Paris and more than 2,- 000 years old. This land-locked haven is the site of the Palace of Justice, the gem-like Sainte Cha- pelle, and the great Notre Dame Cathedral. A close neighbor of the He de la Cite is the smaller island, He Saint-Louis, where the houses are of elegant 17th and 18th century vintage and the pace of life still lingers in the past. Early Stone Bridges The first stone bridge across the Seine was built around 1600 and is known paradoxically to this day as the Pont Neuf, or "New Bridge." a name quite appropri- ate when it was inaugurated by King Henry IV. It has two arms, connecting the He de la Cite with the Left and Right banks of the Seine. With rounded pillars and graceful arches, the Pont Neuf is one of the loveliest bridges in the world, despite more than four centuries of traffic, from oxcart to . taxicab. Designer Jacques Androuet du Cerceau wanted the bridge to be an unimpeded thor- oughfare. But the people of Par- is, accustomed to having build- ings on Pont Notre Dame and all previous wooden bridges, de- manded shops for the Pont Neuf. Henry IV decided only temporary stalls could be erected. The French certainly took him at his royal word. Before you could say "voila" the bridge was jammed with booksellers, pastry shops, jugglers, vendors and junk dealers. By 1756 the carnival at- mosphere had become so over- whelming that it had to be sup- pressed. The book vendors, or bouquinistes bade adieu to their rather flamboyant friends and settled on the banks of the Seine. Today you can browse at the open-air stalls laden with rare books, paintings, medals and curi- osities. Model of Classical Dignity One of the most impressive bridges in the world is the work of a man who believed that life begins at 78. In the twilight of his life, Jean Rudolphe Perronet (1718-1794) designed the Pont de la Concorde. Made of marble and noble Grecian columns, the Pont de la Concorde is still acclaimed as a model of classical dignity. You can "lean" on your knowl- edge of French architectural his- tory by resting your elbows on the bridge parapet. The fact is that Perronet was the first French architect to depart from the idea of a solid retaining wall, by using an airy balustrade. A Plain Jane Bridge The "plain Jane", architectur- ally speaking, among Paris bridges is the Pont Royal, order- ed by King Louis XIII who had a taste for the fancy life but plain bridges. Simple and severe in de- sign, the Pont Royal pioneered the idea of a wide bridge to ac- commodate future traffic. Until the Pont Royal came along, most Parisian spans had been muddling through on slowly sinking founda- tions. They were often the vic- tims of flood, ice, or fires, and in less than three centuries the Pont Notre Dame was bowled over five times. Thanks to Francois Ro- man, a clergyman who doubled as consultant to the engineer, the Pont Neuf was the first Paris bridge to be constructed by sink- ing piers into the dredged river bottom. The placid He Saint-Louis is reached by several bridges, in- cluding the 360-year old span, Pont Marie. The Pont Neuf may have distinction, the Pont Royal simplicity, and the Pont de la Concorde a classic profile — but only the Pont Marie can boast that she kept her traffic waiting for 34 years. In 1600 three Frenchmen made a proposition to King Louis XIII — they would drain the swampy He Saint-Louis and make it habitable, on condi- tion that the island would become their property. The king mulled it over for 14 years and finally replied — "oui, but you'll also have to build a bridge to the is- land." The Pont Marie, named after its architect, Christopher Marie, took 20 years to build. Each of the romantic bridges of Paris has distinctive individu- ality. Together they blend per- fectly into the environment of quays, book stalls, artists and parks. They summarize the 2,000- year span of Paris' history, and form a handsome frame for the city as seen from the Bateau Mouche excursion launches. More than symbolically, the bridges of Paris link monuments of all ages which dot the banks of the Seine. They are modern thoroughfares for present-day traffic, witnesses to passage of time and men's daily endeavors. Today, these ro- mantic bridges of Paris are no further away than a swift seven- hour spanning of the Atlantic by jetliner. w*—^^m^^> Wednesday, February 14, 1962-THE CRUSADER— Page 5 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Susquehanna's loss to Scranton last week dropped the Crusaders (8-2 in league play) from first place in Northern Division standings behind Hofstra (5-1) and Albright (6-1) ... . The Crusaders must win all their remaining league games, including the one played against Albright on Monday if they are to gain a playoff berth .... The Scran- team which upset S.U. had five members dropped from their squad the previous week for disciplinary reasons .... Three of the five were starters, and of those three, one player was the top scorer, while an- other was the leading rebounder .... The game this Saturday night in the Selinsgrove ball hall should be a real thriller with Hofstra bring- ing a top-notch ball club to town .... Following this weekend's en- counter with Hofstra the Orange and Maroon has only three ball games remaining on the slate — Franklin and Marshall at home on the 24th, Upsala and Elizabethtown away .... Whether or not the Crusaders make the MAC playoffs, they, along with Coach John Barr, deserve a great amount of credit for the terrific job which they've done this year .... Following the Juniata contest an editorial appeared in the Hunt- ingdon newspaper which stated that if Coach Barr had so wished and had left his starters play the entire game the Crusaders would have had no trouble breaking the gym record, and Clark Mosier would have been able to do likewise .... Captain Bill Moore has been playing with an injured chest since January 10 when he collided with a Ly- coming cagester .... As you could probably figure the Lyco player was knocked unconscious .... One of the standouts on the Lycos cage team this season, Luke Kauffman, is also a top-notch first-sacker on the Warriors baseball squad .... Last year he was voted as the out- standing baseball player that the Crusader nine faced .... Clark Mosier with 414 points is averaging 27.6 per game and making good on 58.7% of his field goal attempts and 82% of his free throws .... Tom McCarrick, 6-8 center from Elmira, N.Y., is hitting on 52.3% of his floor shots .... Bill Moore is way out front in rebounds with 215 and a 14.3 per game average .... Jim Gallagher is making 45% of his field goal attempts and 79.3% of his charity tosses while averaging 10.9 rebounds a game .... Joe Billig, while not being among the scor- ing leaders in playing tremendous basketball at the guard spot in his first year as a starter .... "Duke" Schenck is 43.8% from the field and 71.4% on the fifteen foot line .... These statistics were compiled previous to the Albright contest .... Incidentlly, anyone making above 40% of their shots from the floor is considered, in basketball circles, to be above average .... Take another look at the above percentages .... The Crusaders set a record for number of points scored in one contest when they whipped Dickinson 126-75 .... Intra- mural basketball gets back into the limelight again this week .... G.A. is the team to beat after winning the first half with a perfect 6-0 record .... Jerry Lucas, everybody's All-American from Ohio State, who constantly denies he will play pro ball, has hired an agent to handle his offers .... Who's he trying to kid? .... That skyscraper wearing glasses whom you may have seen in the gym two weeks ago at a Sat- urday night dance was a varsity basketball player from Penn State .... Mr. Jeffrey Safford, sports publicity director at Susquehanna, had offers from three major league teams while pitching for the Wagner College nine a few years back. SU Women's Basketball Team Splits Initial Court Matches The Susquehanna University women's varsity basketball team made its debut last Saturday, February 3, at the Lycoming College Sports Day. The team doubled as a volley ball team and took second place in the round robin volley ball tournament, but only placed third in basketball. However, the basketball team made a good showing, drop- ped by Lock Haven by only 4 points and topping Lycoming 15-6 in two eight-minute periods. The offensive team consists of Toby Brodisch. Ann Spriggle, Jean Ewald, Dee Brossman, Mary James, and Marian Houser. Marian suffered a knee injury and will probably be out the rest of the season. The defensive team consists of Ann Latimer, Candy Fink. Pris Limbert, Doris Black- well, Cindy Caswell, Joan Law- ley, and Lee Bruno. The following girls also partici- pated in the Sports Day swim- ming — Linda Romig, Nancy Zook, Linda Glicksman, and Bon- nie Bucks; bowling — Peggy Sew- el land Lynn Richmond; ping pong — Helen Bachman and Pam Kay. S.U. took over-all fourth place for the day. The team opens its varsity sea- son this week against Misericor- dia on Wednesday the 14th, Ship- pensburg on the 15th, and Wilkes on the 16th; all games being play- ed away. On Saturday the 17th, the girls will host B u c k n e 1 1, Mansfield, and Lycoming in a Sports Day sponsored by the W.A.A. and beginning at 1 p.m. Basketball and volleyball will be played. ATTENTION TRACKMEN! There will be a special meeting held on Thursday, Feb. 15, for all those men who are interested in trying out for the Sus- quehanna University 1962 track and field team. The meeting will be held in Bogar 103 at 4:15 p.m. Coaches Robert Windish and Dan Sekanovich who will handle the track and field events respectively this season, in- tend to place track among the winning Susquehanna sports. In order to obtain the largest number of candidates possible, the coaches want it understood that previous high school, prep school, or college experience IS NOT necessary to try out for the squad. Anyone who cannot attend the meeting is asked to see either Coach Windish or Sekanovich as soon as possible. Campus Groups Hear Dr. George Seidel Guest speaker yesterday at two campus organizations was Dr. George R. Seidel of Wilmington, Del., manager of the educational section of the duPont Company's public relations department. "What Industry Expects of the College Graduate," was the theme of Dr. Seidel's talk before the Business Society and the Biemic Society. Susquehanna campus was a fa- miliar scene for Dr. Seidel who taught mathematics and chemis- try at the Selinsgrove liberal arts college during the 30's after re- ceiving his Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University. He joined duPont as a chemist in 1936, became district manager of the extension division, public relations department, in 1955, and was successively appointed tech- nical adviser and educational manager. In 1958, Dr. Seidel was chair- man of the Delaware Section of the American Chemical Society. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association, Sigma Xi honor scientific research, and the Scientific Research Society of America. Lutherans Host Jazz Festival In New York The Village Gate, Greenwich Village in Manhattan will be the scene of a Workshop on JAZZ AND CONTEMPORARY CUL- TURE February 26-28. There will be an exchange of cultural ideas as jazz musicians, authorities on jazz, psychologists, and profes- sors will be the guests of the FAITH AND LIFE INSTITUTE program of the United Lutheran Church in America. Students of colleges and uni- versities attending this institute will be a part of discussions at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day. The first evening they will attend a jazz concert and the •second evening they will visit various Jazz spots, such as The Five Spot. The Half Note, and others. ' Such Jazz critics as Mr. Rudi Blesh and Mr. Nat Hentoff will be lecturing. Panel discussions consisting of musicians, minis- ters, a sociologist, and a night club owner will be moderated by Dr. Luther A. Cloud, psychiatrist and Jazz authority, and by Mr. Willis Conover of Voice of Ameri- ca. Dr. Joseph Sittler, professor of the University of Chicago, and Jazz musician, Mr. Billy Taylor will close this institute on the voice of Jazz and the Jazz musi- sians in culture today. Bill Moore, junior forward, has provided needed rebounding and points. He lead the Crusaders in rebounds and is second in scoring. Barrmen Trounce Dickinson, Juniata; Upset By Scranton Last week was a busy one for the Susquehanna University cage- men as the charges of Coach John Barr, led by sharpshooting Clark Mosier of Dallas, Pa., swamped Juniata College 86-35 and then ham- mered Dickinson to the tune of 126-75. The only dark spot came when S.U. was upset by a surprisingly sharp Scranton five 95-90 in a game played at Scranton University. ■ hit on 12 of 13 attempts from the charity line. Mosier was greatly aided in the Crusader win by 6-8 sophomore Tom McCarrick who played his best ball game of the season, scoring 23 points and grabbing 20 rebounds off the boards. Captain Bill Moore also hit for 17 markers and came down with 10 rebounds. Jim Gallagher, 6-5, 205 lb. forward, had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Joe Billig, from Milton, Pa., who threw in 11 points played an important part in the Crusader victory. "Duke" Schenck did his share of the work by scoring 10 points and snatching 10 rebounds. At the end of the first half it looked as though the Crusader dribblers were in for a rough night as they held only an eleven point lead, 49-38. Whatever Coach Barr told his charges during intermission, it sure had an effect as the Crusad- ers scored 77 points in the last twenty minutes of the contest while holding the Red Devils to 37. In posting their 126-75 win the Barrmen made good on 48 of 82 shots from the floor for an amaz- ing 59.7 average, and 30 of 35 free throws. Scranton U. - 95; S.U. - 90 Susquehanna's chances for a cage spot in the MAC divisional playoffs took a turn for the worse last Wednesday in Scranton when I fired-up Scranton University five upset the Crusaders 95-90. Despite a combined effort of 60 points by Clark Mosier (25), jun- ior forward Bill Moore of Shamo- kin. Pa., <18), and soph Joe Billig (17), the Barrmen never recover- ed after losing a one-point lead with seven minutes gone in the first half. (continued on Page 6) S.U. — 86; Juniata - 35 In a game played at Hunting- don, Pa., the Juniata courtmen were no match for the Crusaders as the Barrmen scored at will to take an 86-35 victory. Clark Mo- sier, Susquehanna's versatile guard, was the key man in the win as he ripped the cords for 35 points although playing only 27 minutes of the ball game. Also playing an important role in the victory were 6-5, 225 lb. Bill Moore who scored 17 points and grabzbed off 21 rebounds, and Clark Schenck who hit for 11 markers and picked up 14 re- bounds. Jim Gallagher and Tom McCarrick were credited with 15 and 11 rebounds respectively, and sophomore guard Joe Billig con- tinued his fine offensive play in the backcourt. The story was all Susquehanna as the Barrmen jumped off to an 18-0 lead, increased it to 39-9 with twelve minutes gone in the first half, and held a commanding 53-14 lead at intermission. Coach Barr substituted freely throughout the second half, but the Crusaders couldn't be stopped as they outscored the home team 33-21, leading at one time by fifty-two points when the score was 78-25. S.U. — 126; Dickinson — 75 Returning to the Selinsgrove hardwood for the first time since Jan. 3, the Orange and Maroon hoopsters made it appear to fans as though they live in the gym as they outran, outshot, and outre- bounded the Dickinson Red Devils to gain their eleventh win of the campaign. Once again it was 6-2 junior Clark Mosier who led Susquehan- na with a 40-point performance as he threw in 14 field goals and NEW, USED AND RECONDITIONED AUTO PARTS Glass pack mufflers, fender tkirft, chrome sir cleaners, wheel covers.

Our crop of apprentices to sisterhood include: Adele Breese, Jane Campbell, Cindy Caswell, Ann Cramer, Ann Griffith, Pip Hughes, Nancy Joyce, Ann Latimer, Sheila Mc- Kenna, Marilyn Martens, Diane Norcross, Judy Rhodes, Linda Romig, Mary Lou Snyder, and Gaye Wolcott. To these very special girls we extend a hearty welcome. The theme of the rush party was "A D Pirates," and revolved around the adventures of four lusty pirates, played by Sisters Bette Davis, Barbara Jordan, Lynn Vekassy, and Nancy Zim- merman. Their travels on the high seas included a meeting of the pirate king, portrayed by Sis- ter Joyce Steinberg, and her band of loyal followers; a sword dance; a mirror dance; a trio of musical pirates; a Buccaneer ballet com- bo; visits to exotic lands where the female population displayed equally exotic dances; and finally a shipwreck on an island which was inhabited by a hermit (Peg- gy Thoman) who led them to the treasure chest of sisterhood. The refreshments consisted of blue diamond sandwiches, pirates' punch, and flaming banana splits. The party had an informal at- mosphere which tended to ease tensions and guarantee lots of fun for everyone. It is with pride and pleasure that we announce that the follow- ing sisters have been chosen as the officers for the coming year. They are: President, Barbara Jordan; Vice-President, Peggy Thoman; Treasurer, Janet Het- tinger; Recording Secretary, Nan- cy Zimmerman; Corresponding Secretary. Anne Louise Corson; Rush Chairman, Doris Pederson; Reporter, .Judith Jantzer; His- torian, Linda Leach; Registrar, Donna Day; Song Leader, Joyce Steinberg; Guard, Nancy Zook; Chaplain, Linda Mack. Congratu- lations and best wishes for a re- warding term in office. ALPHA XI DELTA Fourteen girls became new "Fuzzies" in Gamma Kappa Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta on Saturday afternoon. Proudly wearing the double blue and gold after the ribboning ceremony on Saturday are Janet Beddoe. Bon- nie Bucks, Janet Clark, Linda Cole. Nancy Corson, Sharon Downs, Kathy Etter, Sue Evans, Diana Hough, Bonnie Johnson, Nan Keller, Becky Myers, Maris Stichler, and Carolyn Tweed. The Japanese Geisha house, which originated at A Xi D's par- ty Tuesday night, was under the supervision of proprietress, Janet Fritsch. With the help of the singing and dancing Geisha girls and of course the great American entertainer, Lynn Manning, a very successful program was given at the Geisha house. Of course there was a slight disturb- ance by the entrance of the rout- ing sailors, who had to be taken away by the constable, Barb Stockalis. Among other guests at the Geisha House were Linda Wassam, Sue Detjen, and Carol Hobbes, who typified Alpha, Xi, and Delta. During their visit at Alpha Xi Delta's Geisha House, they found their lost sister, Lynn Manning. With an atmosphere of Japanese lanterns and parasols, and of course Japanese costumes, the rushees became guests at Alpha Xi Delta's Geisha House. The entertainment was under the direction of Sister Peggy Simon, and Eleanor Klingerman served as accompanist. This year's rush chairman was Judy Kipp. The beautiful Rose Ceremony followed the entertainment and Lynn Manning, Janet Fritsch, and Barb Stockalis typified the Alpha Xi of the past, the present, and in the future respectively. Each girl received a rose and dropped a petal from it in the wishing bowl before leaving. After the ceremony, the girls were returned to their dorms with their Japanese happi coats and enjoyed a seren- ade by the Sisters. On Wednesday night the rib- bonees will be taken to the Dutch Pantry for dinner, after which the pledging ceremony will take place. They will then be wearing the ever cherished Alpha Xi Delta pledge pin. Belated congratulations go to Shirley Garrison, Eileen Pettit, and Peggy Simon who made the Dean's List and also to pledges Bonnie Bucks, Nancy Corson, and Kathy Etter for the same accom- plishment. KAPPA DELTA Beta Upsilon of Kappa Delta is proud to announce its 1962 Pledge Class: Barb Allen, Joanne Davis, Barbie Evans, Kathy Fairty, Lynne Helriegel, Pam Kishpaugh, Pris Limbert, Toni Koslow, Mari- gail Moreland, Lynne Richmond, D e a n n e Saylor, and Sally Schnure. Following Saturday's party for the new pledges in the sorority room, and a songfest in the Snack Bar, the Sisters and Pledges "Heigh Ho'ed" down to the infirmary to serenade Sister Vicki Sue Lawler. Activity con- tinued on Sunday morning when all the Sisters arose bright and early to take the pledges to church. On Tuesday evening the pledges took their first step into Kappa Delta's circle of friend- ship when they received first de- gree. The Sisterhood looks forward to another wonderful year under the efficient guidance of its new offi- cers: Sister Carol Hirschmann is President: Sister Candy Fink is Vice President and Pledgemas- ter; Sister Jane Beers is Secre- tary; Sister Peggy Sewell is Treasurer; Sister Vicki Sue Law- ler is Assistant Treasurer, Sister Marge Brandt is Rush Chairman, and Sister Linda Scharff is Editor. Tremendous congratula t i o n s and a white rose corsage were given to Sister Grace Johnson for her fine job as Rush Chairman. Congratulations are due Sister Joan Henderson for her perform- ance as Rose White in the KD version of "Rose White and the Seven Dwarfs" for the rush party. Best wishes are extended to Sister Jane Schuylar who became pinned to Dick Garrett, '64, of Phi Mu Delta. PHI MU DELTA Mu Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu Delta proudly announces its 1962 pledge class as follows: Art Bow- en, Bill Billotte, Lynn Feeney, Jim Gibney, Ron Gilbert, Joe Hatfield, Jim Hutchinson, Tom Jauck, Alex Jervis, Richard Lind- er, Carl Miller, Ron Oehlert, Fred Unglaub, Hank Van Dine, Bill Walker, Jeff Watson, Bob Wine- gardner. Congratulations are extended to Rush Committee Chairman Joe Joyce for a fine job, and also to Brother Ned Coates who produc- ed a fine smoker. Our best wishes and our regrets go to those men who "went the other way." Phi Mu Delta's pledge formal was held Saturday evening at the fraternal home Harry Owens' group provided the entertainment. PHI EPSILON Thirteen pledges were taken by Phi Epsilon last week. They were Bill Andel, Lance Cave, Fred Cone, Boyd Duncan, Dick Karsch- ner, Milt Kuhn, Joe Kleinbauer, Milt Maslin, Ralph Meyers, Bill Pierce, Dave Pennypacker, Lee Smith, and Brent Swope. Pledge training will be under the direc- tion of Pledge Master Bud Lon- don. Phi Epsilon is also very proud to annoimce the acceptance of Mike Cordas into the bond of Brotherhood as of February 3, 1962. Mike successfully complet- ed his pledge training and pledge project, which was a map of the United States and Canada show- ing the different chapters of Tau Kappa Epsilon. The Phi Epsilon Pledge Dance was an overwhelming success thanks to the efforts of social chairman Tony Colombet, and a fine band from Shamokin. Congratulations are in order to Pledge Joe Kleinbauer who be- came engaged Saturday night to Judy Troutman of West Chester State College. THETA CHI The hard work and worry of Rush Week culminated for the brotherhood and their pledges on Saturday afternoon when the fol- lowing fourteen men were pledg- ed to Theta Chi fraternity: Pete Bucheit, Jerry Burch, Jerry Eg- ger, Tom Endres, Larry Erdman, Paul Filipek, Don Fisher, Pete Freimanis, Dave Koch, Pete Kuntz, Joe Lowden, Barry Plitt, Bob Reed, and Bob Watts. Pledge Marshal Nate Ward has already outlined the program for the fu- ture and the pledge training will soon be underway. The Pledge party closed Rush Week and found everyone at Theta Chi in high spirits. The party featured the traditional red and white decorations, pledge Go* Ouit *+ "S** (fixmier *•' ©Xtf **•** «*»«* 0% ''V.j, <£** fcoMwrif* •ww***" 9 * •^ »/<. t*t a 'H- kid <^ v &* ,«"* *<4, **** »**»» MOB *e^ Where Did You Get That Word? Ed. note: This is one of a series of feature articles obtained from PRECIS publishers. The articles will be presented periodically for student information and entertainment. Watch your language! You may be insulting your friends without knowing it — and per- haps getting away with it if they, too, are unaware of the sinister meaning concealed in such harmless words as "pal," "neighbor," or "guy." "Pal" is a gypsy word mean- ing brother — or accomplice. In America, a "guy" is any human male, but to Britons a "guy" is an odd, funnny-looking character. The word goes back to Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 tried to blow up Parliament. "Neighbor" literally means "the boor who lives nigh us!" "Boor" carried no stigma in olden days; it meant simply farmer. Many common words have changed, even reversed their meanings— with amusing results. "Silly" once meant good or hap- py, in the sense of innocent, while "nice" meant what "fastidious" now means: overly fussy and fin- icky. ("Fastidium" is Latin for loathing!) Call a woman a hussy today and she'll slap your face — but a few centuries back "hussy" was just the shortened form of "housewife." Believe it or not, a "gossip" was once a "God-sib," or a "rel- ative in the sight of God"! The term was applied to godparents who were expected to form a close and intimate relationship with the family whose child they sponsored. From this mood of confiding intimacy, it's not hard to see how the present meaning of "gossip" evolved. The word "oxygen" was born of a scientific mistake. Because Antoine Lavoisier, the French dis- coverer of oxygen, thought it was an essential component of all acids, he named the substance from the Greek "oxys," sharp, and "gignesthai," to be born. One of our most commonly used words was originally a made-up nonsense syllable. The story goes that a man named Daly, manager of a Dublin playhouse, bet a friend that within 24 hours he could have the whole town talk- ing about a meaningless word. He won the wager — by chalking all over Dublin's walls the letters QUIZ. Some words are literally nick- names for other longer words. In this category is the sports "fan" (short for fanatic) ... the tough "cuss" (for customer) . . . the old "chap" (for chapman, an ancient English word for mer- chant) and the "mob," an abbre- viation of the Latin phrase "mo- bile vulgus," fickle crowd. "Nin- compoop" is a telescoped version of the Latin "nin compos mentis," mentaly incompetent. Would you ever guess that "idiot," in the original Greek, simply meant "a man who holds no public office?" Or that "kid- ding," in its early 19th century meaning, was "to amuse or di- vert your victim while your ac- complice robbed him?" Or, for that matter, that "robe" and "rob" are related words — the idea being that a robber bedeck- ed himself in the spoils stolen from his victim. Another pair of verbal relatives is "shrew" and "shrewd" (for- merly spelled "shrewed"). "Crummy" or "crumby" a scant hundred years ago was a term of high praise — it meant good, handsome, buxom. "Buxom," incidentally, has also changed its meaning drastically — it used to mean "obedient," "pli- able" (in its old form the word was "bough-some," i.e. bending like the bough of a tree.) Some words, however, are al- ways stable. People have been joking about "elbow-grease" since 1672, talking about "the gift of gab" even longer. ("Gab" is a very old Gaelic word for mouth.) And it has always been safe to call the boss, the boss — ever since be borrowed the word from the Dutch "baas," master! Whether it requires "grammar" or "elbow-grease" to impress your "boss," here are a few rules to remember: never "kid" your friends — or "gossip" outside the family. And if you also watch your "megatane" rating, you may avoid a "cliche" and really "cook with gas." paddles, a twelve piece band and wonderful refreshments.

W*'H MY ■ ^P^PW* E PLURIBUS UNUM THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University WEATHER REPORT: SNOW FOLLOWED BY MONSOON SEASON VOL. 3— NO. 17 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1962 "Merchant of Venice" Listed As 13th Shakespeare Festival by Barb Stockalis The Susquehanna Players will again be in the spotlight this spring as they present the 13th annual Shakespearean Festival in the Ben- jamin Apple Theater. This year's earnest endeavors will be an in- terpretation of William Shakespeare's well-known drama, The Mer- chant of Venice. Each of the nine performances will commence at 8 p.m. begin- ning on April 26, and ending on May 5, Alumnae Day. There will be no Sunday performance, but the final one should prove to be an interesting incentive to the many Alumnae who will be visit- ing the campus that day. Dr. Bruce L. Nary, director, is presently in the midst of tryouts, with men's parts having been done on Monday and Tuesday evenings, while all women inter- ested are encouraged to attend tonight. Set in 16th century Venice, this tragi-comedy of Shakespeare's will undoubtedly provide the players with a challenge to their dauntless efforts in their attempts to portray the various characters. The encounter between the greedy, vengeful Jew, Shylock, and the wise and fine Portia, gives the play a theme of grave beau- ty, while the closing scenes keep it from becoming a tragedy. In corporating wit and logical intel- ligence, the play is essentially a serious study of the use and mis- use of money, of love, and mar- riage. Student Council Holds Joint Session With Administration by Phil Clark The need for better communication between the members of the Administration and the general student population formed the basis for a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Student Council and the Administrative Cabinet on February 13 in President Weber's of- fice. Although the results of this meeting were not concrete in the sense that issues were definitely solved, progress was made toward a "meeting of the minds". The Student Council feels that the mem- bers of the Susquehanna University Student Association should know what transpired and what conclusions were drawn, if any. A question was raised concern- ing the future plans for enlarg- ing the number of paperback books offered for sale in the Cam- pus Book Store. Dr. Krapf stated that any future enlargement would be contingent upon the amount purchased by the stu- dents. If sales show that students are desirous of this type of read- ing materials, the numbers and variety will increase. It was also mentioned that a large number of paperbacks have just been or- dered to supplement the already increased number available. To help gather student requests and suggestions, a Student Coun- cil committee will be set up shortly to work with the people involved in the selection of paper- backs for the book store. The problem of a lack of va- riety in food selection at weekend evening meals was discussed, and steps will be taken to correct the situation. Although the point was acknowledged by various mem- bers of the administration that in- stitutional food cannot hope to satisfy everyone's particular taste, confidence was expressed in Mrs. Lauver's ability to pro- vide a well balanced meal well above the recommended nutri- tional requirements. In recent weeks much concern has been expressed by the student body about the services of the Health Center. President Weber made it quite plain that the Health Center could not be classi- fied as an infirmary or, in other words, a place to accommodate sick persons for any length of time. The Center's chief purpose is to provide first aid treatment and emergency care for the stu- dent population. It is assumed that the proper change will be Eighteen Enter S.U. For Second Semester "Welcome" from the Crusader staff to the eighteen students who were added to the enrollment at S.U. for second semester. Six of these students have previously at- tended S.U.; eight are transfer students, and four are freshmen. Charles Borgerding, Dickinson College; Israeli Flinewinga, Uni- versity of Oslo; Robert Good, Ca- tawba College; Cynthia Shade, West Chester State College; Ste- phen Shaffer, Wilmington College; Thomas Taylor and William Vought, Perm State University; and Robert Walborn, University of Pittsburgh, are the transfer students. Returning to S.U. are: Fred Wm. Brandt, Barry Hengst, Gary Miller, George Sadosuk, Judith Tuma, and Chris Winters. Lewis Darr, Harold Freed, Rob- ert Klinger, and George Pritchard entered college this semester. Among the transfer students, "Cindy" Shade commented that "The kids are more friendly here, and I like the atmosphere of a small campus. I also think the curriculum is compact and offers more variety of worthwhile courses." Charles Borgerding said, "For the most part, the physical plant is better here than the previous school I attended. A swimming pool would be a great addition to S.U. campus." made in the college catalogue, page 15. The college nurses, Miss Stroup and Miss Gray, have made it known that they are open for any suggestions concerning the oper- ation and service of the Health Center. Any complaints or de- tailed information may also be given to Dean Stetltz or Dean Zimmer. The discussion of the Center also revealed that most other colleges do not provide free distribution of pills as is done at Susquehanna. The perennial problems of cut- ting campus was also discussed. The Council had previously, Feb- ruary 12, decided upon taking ac- tion to curb this practice. The Administration was pleased to learn of this decision and an- nounced that it had recently ex- pended $1200 for a preliminary survey for re-landscaping the campus. Students are urged to use the walks at all times. It was suggested by the Council that a more convenient outside telephone be provided for the res- idents of G.A. Hall. The Business Office has taken this suggestion under consideration. The Student Council has taken strides in the past year to provide for those concerns of the student body that have been brought up and aired by its elected repre- sentatives. The Council can be nothing more than the people it represents. It is the duty of the individual student to see to it that his representative fully expresses his wishes and desires. It was with this in mind that the recent meeting was held with the Ad- ministrative Cabinet so that the differences in outlook between student and administration could be worked out. Ferguson Orchestra Among Nation's Top Among the tape recording stars in the HiFi-L.P. group today one would certainly have to mention the name — Maynard Ferguson. Ferguson records have sold all over the country and have includ- ed the cherished "golden record". Ferguson's own musical ability includes the trumpet, baritone horn, and valve trombone. He is perhaps best noted for the tre- mendous range that he coaxes out of his trumpet. In his famous "Tenderly" number, the climax includes an amazing descending run in which Maynard weaves his way through more than three oc- taves. Two of Maynard's more recent albums include "Message from Newport" and "Swingin' My Way Through College". The latter is typical of the dance music that helped make Maynard famous. "One of our favorite formats," says Maynard, "is to play a col- lege dance date and then do a 30 to 45 minute jazz concert in the middle of the evening, when the audience will gather around the bandstand to listen . . . ." In recent Down Beat polls May- nard has placed his orchestra in the top four and himself among the best trumpets in the country. The band's adaptability to every setting has had much to do with its mounting success. "We con- sider our dance music book and our jazz library to be two sep- arate things even though, of course, they do overlap and there are many people who enjoy music from both."

Song Recital, Opera Workshop Highlight A Weekend of Music by P. J. K. On the evenings of Friday and Saturday, February 16 and 17, the students of the Music Division presented a song recital and opera workshop. The first portion of Friday's performance was the Senior recital of soprano Nancylee Dunster. Miss Dunster presented a well- organized program of art songs in English, Italian, and German; the listener felt that she was fluent in each of these languages, as her dic- tion and expression throughout the performance was excellent. Two numbers in English open- ed the program, The Mermaid's Song by Hydn, and Purcell's Mu- sic for Awhile. The light quality of Nancylee's voice showed to ad- vantage in both of these, with particular beauty in the florid first number. If breath support was lacking in the slower number of the two, her clarity of tone more than made up for this. The arias from two operas in Italian, Moz- art's Le Nozze di Figaro and Gi- anni Schicchi by Puccini, which followed, were, in this writer's opinion, the high points of the re- cital. Contrasting moods and tempos presented by each piece, and Miss Dunster's personality portrayed the meaning behind her good Italian diction. She sang with apparent ease and enjoy- ment in all ranges of key and volume. Four songs in German, two by Strauss and two by Marx, com- prised the second half of Nancy- lee's recital. She was as much at home in the lyric but muted passages of Strauss as she had been in the spirited flair of Moz- art. However, her more rapid numbers projected her warm voice and style of singing better than did the slower pieces, where her support occasionally betrayed her. The final number was well- chosen for its dramatic effect. Here Miss Dunster's presentation had strength as well as beauty and clarity, leaving the audience with the feeling that they had heard an excellent performance. On Saturday evening the first portion of the program consisted of four numbers by the Susque- hanna Sextette and two by tenor Robert Summers. The Sextette, whose members are Brentwood Henzel, James Sandahl. Lloyd Wolf, William Andel, Lynn Lerew, and Larry Cooper, is a well-co- ordinated group whose blend of voices is good. Particular men- tion should be made of the na- tural warmth of tenor James Sandahl in a new arrangement of "Tell Me Why." Junior Robert Summer sang two numbers, one by Purcell and one by Handel, which contrasted in tempo and mood. He was ably accompanied by Lois Binnie. Bob's perform- ance, though somewhat lacking in expression, exhibited the good quality of tone, diction, and rhythm which has made his voice pleasing to Susquehanna audi- ences in the past. In the operatic portions of the weekend many of S.U.'s "dormant talents" were brought to light, to use the expression of Mrs. Franc- es Alterman, director of the pro- duction. One of these talents was bass-baritone Robert Dreisbaugh, featured in two selection from Mozart's The Magic Flute. He was assisted in his characteriza- tions by Nancylee Dunster, Linda Wassam, Bonita Schaffer Hetten- bach, and Susan Sload. Of note here is the blend of voices in the duets, and trios. The Lantern Marriage, a one- act opera by Offenbach, was the final musical offering of the week- end. The character of Peter, a frugal, eligible French farmer, was well portrayed by Richard Seaks, a lyric tenor of varied mu- sical interests. Nancylee Dunster, appearing in still another role, was Denise, Peter's distant cou- sin, very much in love with him. Ann and Catherine, two widows with designs on Peter, were play- ed by Bonnie Schaffer Hetten- bach and Linda Wassam. The spirit of the opera, ranging from Bonnie and Linda's humorous duet, "I'm in a Rage," to the deli- cate "Hark, the Evening Bell" at the climax of the drama, was maintained with musical and dra- matic sense. Certainly the audience of both evenings gained great pleasure from opera presented in this man- ner. Mr. Frederic Billman of the Music Faculty, accompanied the Lanttrn Marriage, while Miss Ju- dith Blee, a Senior music student, (Continued on Page 4) Page 2— THE CRUADER— Wednesday, February 21, 1962 THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University "to speak and write truth" Co-Editors Pat Goetz Les Butler Managing Editor Sharon Martin Men's Sports Editor Joe Joyce Layout Editor Phil Clark Business Manager John Raab Associate Business Manager Terry Moll Copy Editors Jane Kump Dottie Shomper Barb Stockalis News Editor Dottie Anderson Women's Sports Editor Joan Lawley Feature Editor Ray Cragle Proofreaders George Mowers Jim Norton Circulation Manager Tom Casey Faculty Advisor Mr. Jeffrey Safford Staff: Ruth Almond, Judy Behrens, Betsy Bunting, Mike Carr, Bill Clark, Nancy Corson, John Eggert, Fred Fisher, Tom Hanshaw, Joe Hatfield, Gene Hillman, Rick Meserole, Bill Molin, Carolyn Moyer, Ruth Ann Smiley, Al Thomas.

It is the month that boasts the birth of the "father of America," George Washington and the "preserver of the Union," Abraham Lincoln. These two men typify the greatness and leadership that has traditionally been Amer- ican. In the past this leadership has come from all walks of life. Now, in an advanced, complex age, that leadership is more often coming from the higher educated. In short, we. the college students of today, must provide tomorrow's leadership. Are we prepared? Can we face up to the great task which looms before us? These vital questions should be asked by every student in college today. Without doubt, college is a time for fun and pleasure. It is also a time for hard work and serious reflection on the past and future. College students today must re-evaluate their present position. If the United States, if we at Susquehanna, are to succeed in this life, then, the time has come to get busy. Will we let the sacrifices of our forebearers go for naught? Is it not time to take increased devotion to that cause for which our predecessors gave their "... last full measure of devotion?" We feel that the time to begin is now. If we are to enjoy a full and rich life we must be an active part of this world and this country. It is quite easy to hide behind ivy-covered walls and philosophize on the past and future. However, make no mistake, there are problems, real problems, to be faced on the other side of those walls and we are the ones who must face them. Perhaps Laos, Vietnam, and Katanga seem far distant and not nearly as important as the next football game or the big dance. Yet, we must not forget that the people that win in Laos and Vietnam will have a profound effect on our future while the winner of the football game will pass on unnoticed by the majestic eye of history. Can our generation of college people meet the challenge? Yes, with a little hard work and dedication, we can master that which now confronts us. We will have to master the future or our lives may well be controlled by it in utter subjugation. We must learn evaluation. For, if we are to succeed, that which is highest and most important must be placed first and all else in proper perspective. We, as contemporary college students, should be glad for our times and our challenge. No other era of history has ever faced a more dif- ficult or trying time. We have been blessed with a future in which the alternative to success is not mere defeat but complete destruction. If we face the challenge and beat it, our reward will be unequalled in the annals of history. The prospect of peace is at our feet. It is up to us to reorganize, re-evaluate and then stride on ". . . with firmness in the right, as God gives us to know right" that we may best serve and preserve the land that we love and that this great government, ". . . of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." L.B. AfricanStudentsShow Films of Native Land Students who missed seeing the films shown Friday night in the faculty lounge by Israeli Fline- winga and Gideon Okwiya missed out on an enlightening view of Africa today — an Africa with modern cities and universities which look much like those in Florida and California and, at the same time, an Africa with some stages of civilization still B.C. in culture. The films showed some of the very beautiful scenery of Africa in color, complete with native animals, giraffes, rhinos, and ga- zells. The landscape, undisturbed by modern man, looked like a Garden of Eden. Some of the Christian missions which have been established in the dark con- tinent were shown, giving evi- dence of the great part being played by the church in the "catching up" process in Africa. Here indeed is a nation of great potential. Pictures of the primitive tribes of Africa enlightened the viewer to the great need in this part of the world and brought to mind thoughts which have been ex- pressed by Albert Schweitzer: "It is unthinkable that we civilized peoples should keep for ourselves along the wealth of means for fighting sickness, pain, and death which science has given us. If there is any ethical thinking at all among us, how can we refuse to let these new discoveries bene- fit those, who in distant lands, are subject to even greater physical distress than we are."

If you heard someone talking, it was probably you: dreamers rarely hear anything but their own end of a conversation. And no matter how bizarre your dream was, its setting probably was commonplace — a room, a car, a street, a field. These are but a few of the find- ings that researchers have made about you and your dreams. For something we do so often, it's surprising how little we know about dreams — what they mean, why we dream . . . even what dreams can tell about us. For example: if you remember your dreams early, then you are probably quite aware of your in- ner feelings and emotions. This was demonstrated by a survey carried out by Dr. Rosalea Schon- bar, a clinical psychologist at Co- lumbia University's Teachers Col- lege. And if you tend to forget your dreams, you may be inhibit- ed emotionally. How much do you know about dreams? For example, do you think you move around while you're dreaming? Not at all — you remain motionless, though you may thrash about both before and after. According to Dr. Na- thaniel Kleitman of the Univer- sity of Chicago, dreamers are like people at a theater: they fidget before the curtain goes up, then remain spellbound. How much time do you think you spend dreaming? Believe it or not, you probably spend 22 per cent of your nightly rest in dreams. University of Chicago scientists also maintain that you start to dream an hour after you fall asleep, and your first dream lasts ten minutes. Then come three, four, or five more dreams, lasting 20 to 35 minutes, and at 90-minute intervals. Your dreams tend to last longer as the morn- ing approaches. Who dreams more— men or wo- en? Women dream more than men, bright people dream more than not-so-bright people, and single women dream more than married women — though no one had to tell you that. Researchers for the Chemstrand Corporation also report that women are more apt to dream in color, and they are more apt to dream about men. Men, according to the Chemstrand researchers, dream equally about men and women. Young folks between 20 and 25 dream the most; elderly people dream the least. Why do we dream?. Dr. Sig- mund Freud, the founder of psy- choanalysis, thought that dreams help keep us asleep — by blotting out unpleasant thoughts. You yourself can probably sup- ply testimony of how dreams keep you asleep — haven't you once incorporated the ringing of an alarm clock into what was going on in your dream? Further proof: a group of heroic subjects tried to sleep amid bright lights, noises, and even cold water sprays. All these distractions were woven into their dreams, and they thus managed to get some sleep — though not much. You probably didn't know it, but you can even force someone to dream. Studies conducted by Dr. Hugo Beigel, professor of psychology at Long Island Uni- versity, show that you can do this by holding perfume under a dreamer's nose, whistling, plac- ing a pillow on his lap, or turning on a light. The sleeper dreams in order not to wake up. Ill-fitting and uncomfortable bedclothes can also force a per- son to distort his dreams in order to remain asleep. Researchers have found that sleep is deeper and more restful when the sheets are tight-fitting and absorbent (cotton contours are considered your best bet) and when blankets are lightweight and fluffy. Acri- lan, a man-made fiber, is now being used widely in blankets be- cause of its light weight, its warmth, and — important for the sweetness of dreams — its non- allergic qualities. Do people who have been deaf since birth ever dream? Surpris- ingly, they have the most color- ful dreams of all. A study made by psychiatrists at the Harvard Medical School showed that the dreams of deaf people contain every color of the rainbow. ( Many people never dream in color ex- cept when they see a fire.) Even people who have been blind all their lives can have dreams. But without seeing any- thing — only hearing sounds. Though basically you dream in (Continued on Page 3) "■ "^^^^^^ Journalism Class Lists Results Of Small College Paper Survey Wednesday, February 21, 1962-THE CRUSADER-Page 3 A small college newspaper poll conducted over the months of No- vember, December and January by ten members of the Journalism class at Susquehanna University was completed recently with some interesting results. Through the results of the poll, the class hoped to obtain answers to the two following questions: 1. What do you think should be the role of the small college news- paper? 2. If you could, would you make any changes in your newspaper? If so, what changes would you make and why? It was felt that the information "* ~ " — received would be of definite help to the staff members of our own student newspaper, The Crusad- er, in giving them ideas for im- provement and at least fodder for thought. Small college newspaper editors were sought out so as to stay as close to the scope and size of the Crusader as possible. In November, 252 questionnaires were sent out to colleges with en- rollments of less than 2,000 in the United States and Canada. In De- cember, a second mailing of over 200 was sent to non-respond- ents. Over the course of the three- month period 61 replies, or 24.2 percent of the total possible re- turns, were received. The class was rather disappointed in the return, but subsequent study of national polling averages reveal- ed this to be a fairly good per- centage. So with 61 replies, three of which were thought too poorly answered to even be considered, the class armed itself with mate- rial and evaluated the questions as analyzed by a cross-section of small college newspaper editors throughout the United States and Canada. First, it must be explained that as this poll consisted of a general questionnaire, not a multi-ques- tioned operation, the summary of the project is necessarily a gen- eral one for the most part. The survey showed a definite national concurrence of opinion as to the role of the small college newspaper. Almost without ex- ception it was felt that the paper should "inform the readers." Now more was meant here than a mere presentation of information — the paper should educate and stimulate at the same time. In fact, all three should be consider- ed together. What the nationwide poll revealed was that small col- lege newspaper editors want a paper that in informing will bring the best out of the student body. They want the paper to go beyond the mere presentation of fact to offer the student the op- portunity of exploring educational areas of which he was previously unaware. A twofold purpose is obtained when the paper stimulus motivates the student to utilize dormant resources harbored with- in his own person. The editors who responded felt that the student newspaper as the "voice of student, faculty and campus" is important and good but hardly sufficient to provide the educational message needed if the paper is to accomplish any- thing really worthwhile. The pa- per should endeavor to go beyond the commonplace — the reporting of student events, sporting activi- ties, and latest complaints — to encourage and create an intel- lectual campus environment by inspiring through sheer literary and thought-provoking leadership. As one student editor from the Mid-Atlantic area put it, "the college newspaper should repre- sent the intellectual crusade 6T the students and their campus." In this respect the college editors who responded were most close- ly aligned. On other matters opinions were varied and different. A number of student editors indicated that the newspaper should be used as a laboratory for the Journalism Department. However, the majority felt that the paper should be substantially independent of the journalism area. There was a marked difference over the subject of "inside and outside" news coverage. Those editors who favored the issuance of national and international news as well as campus information outnumbered, three to two, those who would limit the paper's ac- tivity to campus news only. Several editors felt that the newspaper should serve as an outlet of faculty expression. There were those who felt the newspaper should be a "show- case" for student and faculty talent and accomplishment. Oth- ers maintained that the college paper wds solely a student pub- lication and should tolerate no meddling from any administrative source. And finally, a number of editors argued that the paper should serve as a laboratory for the stu- dents; a means by which the stu- dents could improve and develop literary talent, technique and method. An answer to the second ques- tion involving possible changes the editors would like to make in their papers was met rather idealistically. A good number of editors com- plained of the want of a bigger, better and more highly motivated and imaginative reporting staff. Several felt that their advisory staff members should receive salary, scholarship, academic credit or service credit for their efforts. While the majority indi- cated it was receiving no remun- eration at all, one editor felt he wasn't being paid "enough." Lack of an adequate budget was cited by some — want of a larger paper with better printing and printing arrangements cited by others. A few desired "more free- dom" but didn't elaborate. In general, what the majority seemed to desire was the means to produce a larger, more elab- orate and more expensive paper, capable of being put out more often by a better printer and a larger and more talented staff. Much of the need seemed to be attributable to the necessity for a larger budget. While not intended as a statis- tical venture, a final tabulation of the poll's returns was made. While 61 answers does not lend sufficient validity to a report on the small college newspaper ways of a continental system that sup- ports over 1,000 institutions of less than 2,000 enrollment, the statistical returns might serve of interest and amusement to some. One of the secondary purposes of the poll had been to determine if any differences in attitudes, ideals, methods and the such ex- isted in different regions of the continent. Interestingly, save for a marked Canadian accent on the paper's need for super-intellec- tual leadership, the results Of the poll showed that no geographic section of the United States could easily be identified as peculiar in any particular respect as regard- ed the small college newspaper. In other words, the total con- sensus of. opinion of editors in New England differed little from the total consensus of opinion of editors on the West Coast. On the other hand, the fact was that in some cases, student editors of colleges located only miles apart differed greatly in their interpre- tation of our questions. As* it turned out, a geographic analysis of the poll as regarded the main questions was not practical. How- ever, some statistics involving regions of the U.S. were available. Bearing in mind that stamped and addressed envelopes were sent to all colleges on the mailing list, it would seem logical to as- sume that distance should have little to do with the return. On the other hand, we do realize that familiarity might be of some in- fluence. However one might look at it, the Mid-Atlantic area of New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania, Maryland and Delaware stood heads and shoulders above the rest of the crowd by returning 15, or 39.5 percent, of the ques- tionnaires. Next in line was New England with 32.0 percent return. Canada, with 30.0 percent return, was third. The worst returns were available from the Northern Plains area of North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas which sent back only two, or 08.0 per- cent, of 25 questionnaires. Statewise, Virginia (5-8) and Maryland (6-12) led the way in percentage returns. California led with most total returns (8) but was>far down the list in percent- age returns a» it was the recipi- ent of 23 questionnaires. Private, non-sectarian colleges outclassed the sectarian and state, city and district controlled insti- tutions. Men's colleges outclassed co-educational and women's schools in the greatest run-away of all. 34.6 percent of all men's colleges contacted made returns as opposed to 23.2 percent of co- ed and 21.4 percent of women's colleges. Denominationally, Dutch Re- formed and Unitarian affiliated colleges led the way with 100.0 percent return as opposed to a poor showing by the Baptists who managed only 11.0 percent re- turn. Susquehanna University's sister Lutheran colleges could manage a return of only 2 out of 9 questionnaires. Familiarity had nothing to do with it here. In total, the results obtained from the entire program were sincerely gratifying and did serve greatly, especially to our own newspaper staff as hoped. As for returns, one of our student co- editors remarked that as most collegians seem to be trophy crazy, the poll would probably have met with "100 percent or better" cooperation had Susque- hanna offered some reward of this nature. Dr. Georg Schoenweiss, lecturer in New Testament and Christian Ethics, has already won the heart of the S.U. student body. Dr. Schoen- weiss studied at the Universities of Erlangen and Teubingen. He re- ceived his Th.D. at Erlangen in 1956. This world traveler is certainly a welcome addition to the Susquehanna campus. SCA Will Sponsor SU Students To Government Seminar Program The Student Christian Association is interested in sending two Sus- quehanna Students to the thirteenth annual Washington Seminar for Lutheran students. It will be held the first four days in Holy Week, April 15-18, 1962. The Seminar is sponsored by the Division of Public Relations of the National Lutheran Council and the Department of Public Re- lations of The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod. Attendance is limited to 150 students from theo- logical seminaries, deaconess training schools, and Lutheran and non-Lutheran colleges and universities will be at the confer- ence. Registration must be made before March 15. The purpose of this gathering is to observe the federal govern- ment in operation; to discuss cur- rent issues; to clarify the respon- sibilities of Christian citizenship in a democracy; and to develop appreciation of the role of Chris- tians in public life.

Charles Almond Speaks To SCA Campus Night Audience The Student Christian Association held its monthly Campus Night for February Tuesday, when students heard a discussion on the stu- dent and religion by the Rev. Charles Almond of Sunbury. Those in attendance had an inspiring evening of talk and fellowship. The first weekend of March, eleven Susquehanna students will attend the annual LSA Buck Hill Falls conference under the aus- pices of the S.C.A. This usually tremendous weekend at the resort area in the Pocono Mountains pro- vides another opportunity to dis- cuss current issues and to mature in thought and outlook. Not to neglect the social side, on Tuesday, March 6,*the S.C.A. will sponsor the Fastnacht Social for the entire student body in Morton Dining Hall. Music will be provided by the Purple Knights. Currently the S.C.A. is planning its Religious Emphasis program which will be held April 6-13. It is felt that the program will be of interest to all Susquehanna stu- dents.

For one, dreams can be prophetic. You may dream that a friend will fall sick — and, a few days later, he does. The rea- son: your insights may be sharp- er when you are asleep, because tiny clues that barely registered on your mind do come to the fore when you are asleep. You may have barely noticed how pale your friend looked, how tired he seem- ed — but, in your dream, you put two and two together. And sometimes dreams can bring you a fortune. Back in the 19th century, a writ- er went to sleep and had a fascin- ating dream. When he awakened,, he decided to write a story about that dream. The writer was Robert Louis Stevenson. And the story he wrote is one of the classics of literature, a story that everyone knows — Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. No tonight, if you get a good idea for a story during your one or two hours of dreaming, don't neglect to write it down. Pleasant dreams!

Basketball, Play Day Top SU Women's Sports Activities S.U.'s Women's Varsity basketball team, coached by Miss Betsy McDowell and captained by senior guard, Joan Lawley, officially open- ed its season against Misericordia College on February 14 on the op- ponents court. Undefeated M.C. dropped the lassies by a score of 54-43 despite the 28 points scored by Toby Brodisch. Others in the S.U. scoring column were Jean Ewald, 11; Ann Spriggle, 3; and Dee Bross- man. 1. S.U. had 27 fouls marked against them and made only 30% of their foul shots. The Misericordia coach remarked that S.U. was the roughest team they had played thus far. On Thursday, the 15th, the las- sies were once again on the road: this time it was against the coeds of Shippensburg State College. The fourth-quarter spurt was not enough to overcome the lead of the opponent, and the team was dropped by a score of 43-37. Toby Brodisch tallied 22 points, Jean Ewald. 7; and Ann Spriggle, 8. With an 0-2 record facing them, the coeds went to Wilkes on Fri- day. February 16th, seeking their first win of the season. The girls were determined, and it paid off as they slipped past the hosts 38-37. Among Toby's 22 points was the winning basket in the re- maining 5 second of the game. Also scoring were Jean Ewald. 9; Ann Spriggle. 6; and Dee Brossman, 1. On Saturday, the 17th. the girls were hosts to coeds from Buck- nell. Lycoming, and Mansfield in n Sports Day in the Alumni Gym- nasium. In volleyball, the S.U. coeds took third place, with Ly- coming and Mansfield taking first and second respectively. In bas- ketball. S.U. took first place by defeating Mansfield 21-19 in the play-off game. In this game, the S.U. scoring was led by Mary James, scoring 10 points. Others in the scoring column were Ann Spriggle. 6; and Jean Ewald, 5. On Thursday, February 22, at 7:00 p.m., the S.U. team will host a return match with the coeds from Wilkes College and are look- ing for another win to balance their record. Phi Mu Delta, South Score In Intramurals The second half of boys' intra- mural basketball began last week with nine games being played. Friday night found Phi Mu Delta and South Dorm tied for the lead in the standings with identical 3-0 records. Three games are being played each night. The winner of the second half will meet GA Hall, the winner of the first half, for the championship on Feb. 23 at 8:00 p.m. Monday night's action saw Phi Mu Delta, led by Ron Schlader's 18 points, take a 46-37 decision over Lambda Chi Alpha. In the second contest Bill Gerkins' 18- points paced Theta Chi to a 54-49 overtime win against GA Hall. South Dorm won the nightcap by a 43-33 count over North Dorm. Wednesday night's opener was won by South Dorm scoring a 67- 55 victory over Theta Chi Eigh- teen points by Ron Schlader led Phi Mu Delta to a 68-50 win against GA Hall. Lambda Chi Alpha topped North Dorm by a 44-36 count in the final contest. Bob Hancock's 19-points helped South Dorm to a 67-59 win over GA Hall in the first game Friday night. Bill Gerkens chipped in 21 points in the second contest to give Theta -Chi a 50-45 victory over Lambda Chi Alpha. Phi Mu Delta scored a 57-34 win over North Dorm in the 10:00 contest, as Ron Schlader led the scoring with 17. Last Saturday night in the Sel- insgrove gym, Susquehanna's Crusaders staged their biggest basketball victory in the past three years when they downed Hofstra College, a team with an 18-3 season record, by the score of 70-60. The Barr-coached five were paced, once again, by the all- around play of 6-2 junior guard Clark Mosier, who, besides throw- ing in 21 points, thrilled the crowd with his spectacular ball- handling ability. Mosier received support in the Crusader victory from Tom Mc- Carrick, a 6-8 forward from El- mira, N.Y., who dumped in 19 markers, and Joe Billig who rip- ped the nets with 30-foot set shots to rack up 15 points. Also instrumental in the Orange and Maroon victory were soph- omore "Duke" Schenck and 6-5 cornerman Jim Gallagher, both of whom played a strong game under the boards, and chipped in with seven and eight points re- spectively. Susquehanna built up a 35-27 lead in the first twenty minutes of play as Mosier and Billig pav- ed the way for the Barrmen with thirteen and eleven points respec- tively. After intermission the Hofstra five, with some fancy ball-hand- ling and hot shooting, cut slowly into the Crusader lead. With the loss of Captain Bill Moore via per- sonal fouls midway in the second half, the Orange and Maroon were forced to play careful ball, and with three minutes remaining in the contest their lead had dwindled to 58-55. That was the end of the line for Hofstra, however, as Schenck, McCarrick, Gallagher, and Mo- sier, playing, fired-up basketball, combined to clinch the Crusaders' twelfth victory of the season. *** *** *** **♦ Albright-63; S.U.-51 Earlier in the week Albright College, MAC Northern Division leaders, upended the Susquehan- na hoopsters by a 63-51 count. The Lions were led by 5-8 guard Tom Pearsall, from Hawlett, N. Y., who scored 16 of his 23 points in the first half. Norm Bautsch, a 6-4, 220 lb. forward from Read- ing, and Bob Holzinger, a 6-7 cen- ter, also played an important role in handing the Crusaders their fifth loss of the current cam- paign. Clark Mosier, who is now aver- aging 27 points per game, paced the Barrmen with seven field goals and four free throws for a total of 18 points. Captain Bill Moore, playing a bang-up ball game under the boards, chipped in with 15 re- bounds and 13 points while Joe Billig kent the Orange and Ma- roon in the contest with fourteen points, all of them coming on long set phots. S.U. jumped off to a quick lead when Mosier scored on a three- point nlay. After Bautsch scored on a three-pointer with three and a half minutes gone, the remain- der of the half was a see-saw bat- tle. The teams left the floor at intermission with Albright hold- ing a 23-27 lead. Seeond hn'f plav was just as exciting until, with 3:57 remain- ing to p'av. and the score tied 47- 47, the Lions, led bv Bautsch and Pearsall scored a flurry of points to wrap up a 63-51 victory.

DR 4-9280 Phone: 21270 or 27166 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Last week, following S.U.'s 63-51 setback at the hands of the Al- bright Lions, this writer heard quite a number of fans who disagreed with Coach John Barr's last-minute strategy. It seems as if many of the spectators didn't agree with the move that Barr made when he replaced two of his starters, Gallagher and McCarrick, with two re- serves, Endres and Schumacher. The feeling here is that this move by Coach Barr was indeed a smart one, and we'd like to explain why, to those of you who may disagree. The first time Susquehanna faced Albright this season the Crusad- ers Jost 60-50, but the game was much closer than the score indicates, just as last Monday's contest was. The game was nip-and tuck until the final few minutes when Albright decided to put on a freeze. The Barrmen, with the five starters playing, was forced to foul in an effort to get the ball, and thus they lost by ten points. In the game at Scranton, the Crusaders were down by eleven points with only a few minutes remaining, and Coach Barr sent Endres and Schumacher into the game. Although the Crusaders ended up losing 95-90, It was the play of these two boys which moved the Crusaders within striking distance. The situation last Monday was one where Albright was winning 50-47 with 2:53 remaining in the ball game. Coach Barr apparently realized that Albright was going to freeze the ball as in their first meeting, and he also remembered what Endres and Schumacher had done in the previous game against Scranton. Now, if you were the coach what would you have done? Most likely you would have sent your two fast men in to replace your two tall men in an effort to get the ball, which is exactly what Coach Barr did. There's nothing wrong with second-guessing any coach; in fact, this is one of the reasons why people take an interest in sports. It gives them an opportunity to be Monday-morning quarterbacks, grandstand managers, sideline coaches, or what have you. However, we felt that this was a situation that had to be straightened out because undoubt- edly Coach Barr was being criticized unjustly. If Coach Barr happens to read this column, it will probably be the first time that he hears of his move being questioned. Actually, those who did question his strategy were in the minority, and most of the people who understood the situation agreed with him. Incident- ally, after the ball game we talked to one of the two boys who were removed from the contest, and he definitely stated that the Coach's move was the smartest thing to do. *** •** A present, Clark Mosier, who has been doing some prolific scoring for the Crusaders, is ranked 10th in number-of-points-scored and 19th in field goal percentage among the nation's small college leaders. Susquehanna's dribblers are currently 26th in team defense, allow- ing only 59.8 points per game. *** *** *** *** *** RUMMAGE SALE! AT Campus Book Store NOW!

Now back to football for a few words. By the way, the Crusader gridmcn are now engaged in spring practice, and you'll hear more about that in future editions. In the LUTHERAN COMPANION, a church magazine published a few weeks ago, selections were made for an All-Lutheran football team from among the 28 Lutheran colleges that play varsity football. Butch DiFrancesco, a Roman Catholic, made first team; John Row- lands, a Presbyterian, was selected on the second team; and fullback Larry Kerstetter, a member of the Evangelical United Brethren Church, received Honorable Mention. The strange thing about the selections was that none of the above boys are Lutheran. That's because all that's required is that they at- tend a Lutheran college, not that their religion be Lutheran. Maybe it would be a good idea for Dr. Weber to write a letter to Notre Dame next year requesting them to name a Lutheran or two to their All-Opponent Team. *** *** **• *♦* *•* DID YOU KNOW— The average batting average in both major leagues last season was .269.

Experience is not the best teacher — if it were, the average Amer- ican would be the world's foremost expert on the common cold. As a nation, we catch 500 million colds a year. Each person in an urban family has an average of 4.7 colds a year, according to information obtained from the Schering Corporation. Despite all this firsthand ex- perience, however, many of us are woefully uninformed about how colds are caught and how best to cope with them. The re- sults of our ignorance are cost- ing us billions a year in missed workdays and misused medicines. Are you relying on cold fact — or wishful assumptions; Test yourself on these questions and see: 1. Does age or sex make any difference in susceptibility to colds? 2. Are colds caused by viruses or bacteria? 3. Does one cold make you im- mune to another cold? 4. Antihistamines are effective cold cures — true or false? 5. Can some people carry cold germs without catching cold themselves? 6. Can you catch a cold simply by listening to a cold victim talk — without touching articles he's handled? 7. Is there any truth in the old adage, "Feed a cold and starve a fever"? 8. Is there any one treatment that can relieve all the symptoms of a cold? 9. Do chills alone bring on colds? 10. It's better to use tissues in- stead of handkerchiefs when you have a cold — true or false? 1. Yes. According to a survey made in England, women are more susceptible than men, in a ratio of 55 to 43. Children under five are the most susceptible age group. 2. The common cold is primari- ly a virus disease. Bacteria are responsible for some of the severe complications which may result from a cold. The unpleasant symptoms sucb as sneezing, nasal discharge, and nasal blockage are caused by the release of hista- mine, a substance that enlarges, the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) of the nasal mucous membrane. 3. Yes — but for a very, very short time. That's why you can have two colds within the same month or several in the course of a winter. 4. False. Antihistamines can neither prevent nor cure colds, but they may relieve the "al- lergy" or hay fever-like symp- toms, particularly when taken right at the cold's onset. A par- ticularly effective antihistamine is Chlro-Trimeton (Chlorprophen- pyridamine maleate, if you insist on the full scientific jawbreaker), used in cold medicines like Cor- icidin. 5. Yes. Children are thought to make especially good carriers. 6. Yes. Handling articles such as cups and towels which a cold victim has used is a source of in- fection. Direct contact with a patient who has a cold, however, is probably the most common source of infection. 7. No. A normal or light diet, with increased amounts of fluid is probably the most desirable for both of these conditions. An ab- normal diet of any kind places a strain on the system which is al- ready trying to fight an infection. 8. Yes, in many cases. A multi- purpose cold medicine like Cor- icidin contains ingredients design- ed to treat a variety of cold symp- toms: antihistamine to relieve the "allergy" symptoms, aspirin and phenacetin to help control aches, pains and fever — plus mildly (Continued on Page 6) NEW, USED AND RECONDITIONED AUTO PARTS Glass pack mufflers, fender skirts, chrome air cleaners, wheal coven.

This traditional work ses- sion for all the sisters will be under the direction of our new pledges, and will last from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. So, come one, come all, remember a good shine does wonders for your "sole." A D Pi salutes its girl athletes, Jean Ewald, Anne Ostheim, Toby Brodisch, and pledges Ann Lati- mer and Cindy Caswell for their fine demonstration of skill on the basketball court. Hearty congratulations are ex- tended to sister Anne Ostheim and pledges Ann Cramer, Mary Lou Snyder, and Gaye Wolcott for being named to the Dean's List. ALPHA XI DELTA Gamma Kappa chapter looks forward to another successful year under the guidance of its newly installed officers: Joyce Lundy, President; Barb Stockalis, Vice President and Pledge Train- er; Shirley Garrison, Recording Secretary; and Sandy Dunkle, Corresponding Secretary; Irene Etter, Treasurer; Rosie MacCon- nell, Assistant Treasurer; Janet Fritsch, Membership Chairman; Sarah Hannum, Journal Corres- pondent; Judy Bollinger, Histori- an; Pat Cook, Mistress of the Robes; Donna Zeilman, Marshal; and Sut Detjen, Chaplain. The appointed officers for the coming year are as follows: Song Leader, Linda Wassam; Accom- panist, Sue Detjen; Room Chair- man, Sue Houseworth; Social Chairman, Betty Lou Burns; Scholarship Chairman, Judy Kipp; Rush Secretaries, Sara Bro- scious and Eleanor Klingerman; and Flower Chairman, Karen Bond. On Wednesday night following the pledging ceremony, the new Alpha Xi sisters-to-be were taken to the Dutch Pantry for dinner. Both pledges and sisters had a very enjoyable evening. KAPPA DELTA Valentine's Day proved to be a very exciting one for the Sisters of Kappa Delta, when their new pledges presented them with a personalized Valentine, proving they are not only thoughtful but creative too! (their "foot-stomp- ing" "Kappa Delta" on the hockey field was also greatly en- joyed). Pledge Patsy Hoehling received her 2nd degree Monday night and is now enjoying the privileges of White Rose Week. The Sisters are eagerly awaiting the moment when she, too, will wear the hon- ored pin of Kappa Delta. Hearty congratulations to Sister Midge Roth, representative of KD and Theta Chi, on being selected "Susquehanna's Best Dressed Co- ed." A warm thank you is extended to Mrs. Zimmer for baking two delicious Valentine cakes for the Sisters. They certainly were ap- preciated. To KDs retiring officers, Sis- ters Judy Arnold. Susie Myers, Sandy Forse, Nellie Mae Keller, Peggy Sewell, and Gracie John- son go our best wishes and heart- felt "thanks" for a job well-done. Oh. lest we forget — thanks for the Valentine, Barry! THETA CHI A fine addition in the way of new fireplace equipment has been donated to the Gilbert Lounge by the Parents Club of Theta Chi Fraternity. Composed of the us- ual pieces in a black and gold "Sunburst" pattern, the new ac- cessories do much to give the lounge that finished look. Many thanks to brother Terry Moll for the fine installation job. The Big Red roundball squad came through with the big one by defeating the LCA quintet, 50- 45, in the opening game of the second half. Bill Gerkins, Ken Mutzel, and Jim Summer all did their usual excellent job of ball- handling. Mention must also be made of the steady play of Jim Parker and Don Bowes. A surprise visitor at the house on Saturday was Frank Romano, '57. Many people will remember Frank as the greatest basketball player in Susquehanna history. He expressed his amazement in the differences between the new house and the former accommo- dations at 400 W. Pine. The pledges have been quite busy cleaning the house and get- ting shocked by the floor buffer. Their taste for fine food is certain- ly unexcelled for they have been unstinting in their praise to Chief Cook Clark on his weekend meals. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA After much hard work and dis- cussion during Rush Week, the following men were pledged to the Iota Eta Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha: Dan Bevilacqua, Rich Caruso, Bub Cueman, Joe David, Chuck Eberly, Rodger Forgerson, Bill Forte, Bill Galbraith, John Horn, Bob Hancock, Dick Hirsch, Skip Jacobs, Sam Metzger, Ed Pokornicky, Tom Peischel, John Topper, John Vignone, Norm Whitbeck, Gary Zerbe, and Jim Zimmerman. Officers of the pledge class are Dan Bevilacqua, president; Rich Caruso, vice pres- ident; John Horn, secretary; Gary Zerbe, treasurer; John Topper, social chairman; and Bill Forte, chaplain. These pledges can feel justly proud in becoming mem- bers of one of the best pledge classes in Lambda Chi Alpha his- tory. The fun of Rush Week is over, however, for these fledg- lings have found themselves un- der the yoke of pledge master Cpl. John B. Kind, USMC. A great deal of thanks and praise should be extended to Rush Chair- man Len Betkoski and to Mike Johnston who was in charge of the very successful smoker. Belated congratulations should be extended to Mr. Fladmark and Mr. Herb who were recently ac- cepted into the bond at brother- ization ceremonies held at the house. On the intramural front the Bunders defeated the North Dorm in a tilt held last Wednesday. Brothers Roland Marionni, Lynn Snyder, Sam Williams, John Luscko, Bill Lips, Don Green, George Kindon, Terry Kissinger, and Jack Graham made the vic- tory possible. Varsity baseball practice is already in progress under Coach Garrett. Brothers Ron McGlaughlin, John Luscko, Don Green. Terry Kisinger, Paul Wendler, Sam Williams, and Joe Billig and Pledges Gary Zerbe, Chuck Eberly, Dick Hirsch, John Vignone, and Rodger Forgerson are members of the nineteen man squad. Congratulations should also be extended to Brother Fred Dunkle- berger who was named to the dean's list. Sipa Alpha lota Set For Annual Musicale The sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota have a lot to look forward to dur- ing these next few months. Song- leader Bette Davis is preparing the girls for the annual Musicale on March 30. The sisters are coming faithfully to song prac- tice, hoping for the best musical ever. Everyone is looking forward to hearing the Nagle Duo-Piano Pro- gram on March 15. The Nagles, who are husband and wife, are well-known throughout the coun- try and the SAI's will be happy to have them visit our campus. It was a happy day when Sigma Omega received an invitation not only to attend the annual Sigma Alpha Iota convention in Chicago, but also to be one of the 13 chap- ters to sing at the convention. This is a great honor and prob- ably the most outstanding achieve- ment of the chapter of this year and of years past. The girls are busy raising funds to go to the convention on August 16-21. They have many projects, one of which is making and selling pillows in fraternity, sorority and school col- ors. Any SAI girl will be happy to take your order. Prexy Sue Sload is doing a fine job of keep- ing the activities Well planned and organized. A red rose to each of the girls for doing a fine job in the recent Opera-Workshop and Student Re- cital. Those participating were: Susan Sload, Peggy Walters, Lin- da Wassam, Bonnie Schaffer, Judy Blee and special attention goes to sister Nancylee Dunster for showing superb talent and grace in her recital.

All in all the weekend's entertainment added up to the high quality present in most of this year's pro- grams. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — resort city, now the training home Yankees, is making ready for the in March and April. Public spirited citizens are working zealously with municipal officials to offer vacationing un- dergraduates an interesting and varied recreation and entertain- ment program. Even the Yankees will assist by playing 15 exhibi- tion games in the new Fort Lau- derdale baseball stadium between March 10 and April 7. With few exceptions, all other day and night activities will cen- ter on Fort Lauderdale's well groomed beach. A single special area east of Bahia Mar yachting center will be the focal point for live music , and dancing during the peak periods. Also bonfires will be permitted under the su- pervision of the fire department. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic congestion at the beach is ex- pected to be lessened by the con- centration of activity in an area several blocks removed from the intersection of Atlantic and Las Olas boulevards. The city's recreation depart- ment will construct a large stage- bandstand, which during the day will be utilized for bathing beauty contests and other forms of enter- tainment, including the popular twist and limbo. Competitive events will include beach basketball, volley ball, ocean swimming and "mailman carry." Other activities will be added as requested. On arrival students will be greeted at "Hello Booths" in three beach locations, where hos- pitality passes will be issued and housing information distributed. This bustling lower Atlantic coast of the world champion New York 1962 visitation of college students Here also bulletin boards will be maintained for lost and found in- formation together with schedules of daily and special events. The hospitality passes, issued on the presentation of college identification or current registra- tion cards, will entitle students to admittance to all of the recrea- tion and entertainment events. A nominal fee of 15 cents will be charged for the passes. The hospitality booths will be manned by volunteers enlisted by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and Panhellenic Association. It is estimated they will work 7,000 "man" hours. Joining students here this spring will be the presidents and deans of several universities and colleges. The educators will be guests of the city's leading hotels. Dr. Clem E. Bininger, chair- man of the civic planning group, envisions the development of a closer relationship between stu- dents and residents in 1962 by of- fering the latter the opportunity to invite the young visitors into their homes, clubs and churches. A clearing house will be estab- lished to register residents who wish to extend hospitality of this type to students. The aim of the planning com- mittee, Dr. Bininger states, is to "make the spring visitation of students pleasant for all concern- ed, including our residents and adult tourist visitors." As in the past, the city will en- force its customary traffic regu- lations and ordinances governing good conduct. WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragla Colds (Continued from Page 5) stimulating caffeine to relieve the washed out feeling produced by a cold. Coricidin in syrup form relieves cold symptoms and con- trols the characteristically dry hacking cough associated with many colds. 9. Apparently not. In a series of experiments, two groups of volunteers were inoculated with cold germs — but the second group was given hot baths, made to stand in wet bathing suits in cold drafts for half an hour and to wear wet socks for a few hours longer. In many cases, persons in the second group fared better than those in the first! But avoid- ance of chilling and wet feet are still sensible precautions, along with avoidance of unnecessary e x p o s u re, overheating, over- fatigue, and clothing that's un- suitable for the weather. 10. True. If you use a cloth handkerchief, you might later get re-infected by the same handker- chief. But you toss germs into the trash can along with used tissues. If you got half these answers right, you did exceptionally well. But if you've read the story care- fully, you now know more about the common cold than 90% of the non-scientific population — which should be at least cold comfort next time you sneeze.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1962 S.C.A. Sends Eleven Students To Buck Hill Falls Conference The dynamics of our culture and THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA will be discussed next weekend, March 2-4, at the Buck Hill Palls Inn in the Pocono Mountains. Eleven students will represent the Susquehanna Student Christian Association at this Lu- theran Student Association Conference. The students attending are: Lois Bonsall, Carol Cairns, Don Cornelius, Marion Houser, Sue Houseworth, Blairanne Hoover, Pat Estep, Joan Lare, James Norton, James Parks, and Pat Taylor. These students will be meeting with people from colleges and universities in the Northeastern area of the United States — from the Middle Atlantic and New Eng- land states. Through lectures, a dramatic presentation, and in- formal discussion the conference participants will not only describe the present structure and orienta- tion of the church in North Amer- ican culture, but also they will seek ways to fulfill effectively the mission of the church in con- temporary culture. Professor Peter Berger of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, Professor Gabriel Vahanian of Syracuse University, and Profes- sor Robert Bornemann of Mt. Airy Seminary will be the main speak- ers at this conference. Professor Berger's book THE NOISE OF SOLEMN ASSEMBLIES, and Pro- fessor Vahanian's book, THE DEATH OF GOD, will be used as background for the conference. Biemic Society Visits Cancer Research Center In Fox Chase On Wednesday, February 14, eighteen members of the Biemic So- ciety, accompanied by Dr. Weber and Mr. Grosse, toured the Institute for Cancer Research at Fox Chase, near Philadelphia. The group left campus early, that snowing Wednesday morning and traveled by bus to Fox Chase. Here Dr. Stanley P. Rei- mann, Emeritus Scientific Direc- tor of the Division of Pathology at the Institute, met the group and accompanied them to a luncheon which the Research Center had provided. Dr. Reimann spoke to the stu- dents concerning the research program being carried out at the Institute and also he related the basic principles and problems in- volved in the study of cancer. The Biemic members were divided into three groups which were tak- en on an inclusive guided tour of the Institute. As the groups toured the various departments, members from these areas of science explained to the students the problems being studied in their department and just how their work fit into the vast and challenging study of cancer. Later that afternoon the tour- ing students were invited to the daily "tea and cookie break" taken by the staff at the Institute. Here the science minded students mingled with the staff members and had their last minute ques- tions answered before leaving for Selinsgrove. March Auditions Set For "Damn Yankees" The musical comedy "Damn Yankees" by Adler and Ross will be presented on Alumni Day, May 5, and May Day, May 12. Co-directors for the presentation are Mrs. Frances Alterman and Mr. James Steffy of the music faculty. The presentation will use stu- dent personnel, selected by audi- tion. Auditions are open to all university students. These audi- tions will be held on Sunday, March 4, 7-9 p.m. and Monday, March 5, 7-9 p.m. in Heilman Hall. Applicants will be asked to sing a song which will demon- strate their vocal abilities. If possible those trying out should bring their own accompanist, but an accompanist will be present if needed at the audition. Partici- pants # will be asked to read rep- resentative lines. "Damn Yankees" is a story about Joe Boyd, a middle-aged baseball fan who decides that in order for the Washington Senators to win the pennant they need him as a player. In the progress of the play, Joe is transformed into Joe Hardy, the baseball player, through some action of the devil. Altogether there are twenty- three character roles and addi- tional ballplayers, baseball fans, singers and dancers. There will also be additional committees for the performance. If at all Inter- ested in participating on such committees, please notify Joyce Steinberg. Don't Forget MAYNARD IS COMING! March 24, 1962 Dr. Schoenweiss Will Panhellenic-S.AJ. Formal Offer Music Recital Honors Spring, Fall Pledges On Friday evening, March 2nd, at 8 o'clock, Dr. Georg Schoen- weiss will present a piano and organ recital in Seibert Chapel. As a recent addition to the fac- ulty, Dr. Schoenweiss is already contributing to the cultural pro- grams for the benefits of the stu- dent. Besides being a lecturer in New Testament and Christian Ethics and a world traveler, he also is a talented musician. In addition to his musicianship as a pianist and organist, Dr. Schoen- weiss is a cellist in the University Orchestra. As an accomplished musician. Dr. Schoenweiss will present some of his favorite classical pieces and German folk songs. His first selection, "Organ Pre- lude" by Bach is followed by "Im- promptu" by Franz Schubert. Two other arrangements, Bee- thoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and Mozart's "Sonata" will complete the presentation of classical se- lections. For the remainder of the program, Dr. Schoenweiss will play on the piano, several German folk songs. Work On New Science Building Is Underway Are they drilling a well? — lay- ing a slalom course for skiing with all those poles? These are some of the speculations voiced concerning the drilling equipment on the snow-covered green across the road from Heilman Hall last week. President Gustave W. Weber announced on February 22, that the executive committee of the Susquehanna University board of directors gave official approval to plans for construction of this sci- ence building and a new dormi- tory for 150 women. The work now being done is a preliminary boring for samples of earth which will be sent to a lab- oratory and analyzed to see if the strata is of adequate compacture or density to support a large building. The findings will deter- mine what type of base the struc- ture will have. The drillers report that so far the ground below is fine for construction — they have not hit rock which would be diffi- cult to excavate, but ground which will easily support the proposed building. Groundbreaking for the new science hall, which will house classrooms and laboratories for all the natural science and math- ematics as well as a 200-seat lec- ture hall, is expected to take place in May. The new buildings are to go into use in the fall of 1963. The present Steele Science Hall is scheduled for extensive renovation and will be converted to a classroom building for the academic Division of Business. These two new buildings, along with the conversion of Steel Sci- ence Hall, will give Susquehanna a capacity of 1050 students, a 250- students addition to the present enrollment. Joyce Lundy, President of Alpha Xi Delta, gives pledge paddle and red rose to Alpha Xi Delta Pledge, Nancy Corson. Escort Fred Unglaub looks on. Action is at ceremony during Pledge Dance last Saturday. Hal Herman and his orchestra provided the very danceable music that highlighted the Panhellenic-S.A.I. "Island Interlude" last Satur- day. Hal Herman is seen at the vibes on the far right. Sorority women, faculty, honored pledges and their escorts enter- ed a tropical "Island Interlude" Saturday night for the 1962 Pledge Dance. Rows of palm trees formed a path which led them to an island beneath the tropic stars. Completing the enchanting atmosphere was a straw hut constructed by the island natives I in hopes that it wouldn't collapse). Refreshments were served, tropical style, in the hut. A "red" carpet was rolled out to announce the highlight of the evening, the presentation of the 1962 pledge paddles to the recent pledges of the respective sorori- ties. Barbara Jordan, president of Alpha Delta Pi; Joyce Lundy, president of Alpha Xi Delta; Car- ol Hirschmann, president of Kap- pa Delta; and Susan Sload, presi- dent of Sigma Alpha Iota present- ed the paddles to the 1961 spring pledges and the 1962 pledges of their respective sororities. An embarrassing moment occurred for one pledge as a music stand uind music) toppled to the floor. The dance was sponsored by the Panhellenic council and Sig- ma Alpha Iota. This was the first year that a combined pledge dance has been held by the two organizations. Decorations were planned un- der the capable direction of co- chairmen Linda Dries and Marge Brandt. Many thanks are also extended to those individuals 'especially the fellows) who vol- unteered their time and effort in the creation of the decorations, specifically the hanging of the sky. Other committee chairmen were publicity, Joan Dechert; invita- tions, Cynthia Heist; programs. Janet Fritch; clean-up, Linda Leach and Emily Partridge. ■ Page 2-THE CRUSADER-Wednesday, February 28, 1962 THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University 'to speak and write truth" Co-Editors Pat Goetz Les Butler Managing Editor Sharon Martin Men's Sports Editor Joe Joyce Layout Editor Phil Clark Business Manager John Raab Associate Business Manager Terry Moll Copy Editors Jane Kump Dottie Shomper Barb Stockalis News Editor Dottie Anderson Women's Sports Editor Joan Lawley Feature Editor Ray Cragle Proofreaders George Mowers Jim Norton Circulation Manager Tom Casey Faculty Advisor Mr. Jeffrey Safford Staff: Ruth Almond, Judy Behrens, Betsy Bunting, Mike Carr, Bill Clark, Nancy Corson, John Eggert, Fred Fisher, Tom Hanshaw, Joe Hatfield, Gene Hillman, Pam Kay, Dave Koch, Rick Meserole, Bill Molin, Carolyn Moyer, Ruth Ann Smiley, Marylou Snyder, Al Thomas.

In gov- ernment a potential candidate will insist that he has no intention to run for office when he really means that he can hardly wait for the nomination. The U.S. State Department denied both the Cuban and Powers incidents only to later admit that both were U.S. planned. Whether this policy is based on Hitler's theory of propaganda that, if you tell the same lie often enough eventually the people will believe it; we cannot say. We do feel that misrepresentation is not a good thing whether it is in government or here at S.U. For several months we have been reading in news and sports re- leases that S.U. is not emphasizing sports. We cannot understand the reason for this policy. Who is S.U. trying to kid? All a person need do is ask any student or professor on the campus to find out that sports are important here. We certainly didn't produce a champion- ship football team and excellent basketball team by accident! Why take credit away from those people responsible? Coach Garrett was hired as Athletic Director and head football coach. As anyone who has ever played sports will tell you — the sport of playing the game is fun but when you're on the field your sole pur- pose is to win. Judging from Coach Garrett's record over a two year period one would say he has done a pretty fair job at producing win- ning teams. What is the point of taking justly deserved credit away from the Coach and his team and saying it was all an accident. It took hard work to win the MAC crown and it was no accident! If we are going to maintain a policy of emphasis on sports then let's admit it. Why not say to other schools, "Yes, we want to win and we are going to win. Try and beat us." This seems to us a little more mature attitude than saying, "Oh, we were just lucky we beat you in basketball 126-75." Last year the Athletic Budget jumped by leaps and bounds to provide better equipment for our athletes while the Library budget crawled slowly along. Take a look at the guy on scholarship in the dining hall or library next time you go there. Chances are when he goes off duty he'll don his letter jacket before heading back to the dorm. This year an entire new division was added to the Public Relations office — a division of Sports Publicity. The facts speak for themselves. We are not particularly criticizing the emphasis on sports. As long as the academic standing of the school is not endangered (and aca- demics still are the prime function here — at least in a majority of cases) then we say onward and upward with sports. Let's give credit where credit is due to people who are doing the job for which they were hired. We do. however, feel it's time to stop crying "wolf". The campus knows, the faculty knows, friends and followers of S.U. know — as a matter of fact — just about everyone knows that S.U. is out to win and win again. Why hide reality? Let's tell everyone we want to win and then dare them to beat us. But, above all, let's drop the attitude that a two-year football record of 15-1-1 was an accident. If we are to grow athletically, academically and physically we certainly should adopt a mental outlook that corresponds to our new position among America's Colleges and Universities. What was it that Patrick Henry said, "If this be treason . . ." L. B. Fastnacht Social Set For Tuesday, Mar. 6 The Student Christian Associa- tion will hold its annual Fastnacht Social on Tuesday, March 6, from 8 to 11, in Horton Dining Hall. All women students will have eleven o'clock permissions for the dance. Traditionally celebrated as Mardi Gras or Donut Day, this is the time for the last party before the start of the Lenten Season. The Social, with a festive theme of "March into Spring," will fea- ture music by the Glentones. The Glentones are a well known com- bo to S.U. students. General chairman for the event is Gail Hart, Social Chairman of the S.C.A. Chairman of the decora- tions committee is Peggy Sewell who will be ably assisted by Janet Beddoe, Bonnie Bell, Maxine Lip- kin, Jackie Loughridge, Anna Moyer, Becky Myers, and Donna Zeilman. Assisting Gail with re- freshments will be Ruthie Al- mond. Tuesday evening at 6:30 there will be a great need for male students to move tables from the dining hall. Each year this school night function has increased in popu- larity, and it is expected that this year's turnout will exceed last year's record 350 attendance. A History of Power '62 Catalog Lists Additional Courses There is much visible evidence at Susquehanna which provides the visitor with proof that there are extensive external improve- ments being made to develop the already existing facilities and overall appearance of the cam- pus. However, as students, we are equally interested in the col- lege's internal changes, which in most cases, have a more direct effect on us. Therefore, it may be noted, that the school, in an earnest effort to improve its pres- ently existing educational policies, and to facilitate a more adequate course of study for each student, has added several new courses in the 1962 catalog. In the fields of history, English, and education respectively, are: Constitutional Law of the United "Question 7" To Be Shown In Lewisburg "Question 7," a movie depicting the plights of Christian citizens in present day East Germany will be shown at the Campus Theatre in .Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on March 2, 3, 4, and 5. Dr. Otto Reimherr, professor of Religion at Susquehanna, states that it is a "relevant picture" and he encourages everyone to attend. The film was co-produced by Henry Endress who spoke at the Susquehanna Convocation in Oc- tober. "Question 7" has won sev- eral international awards includ- ing the highest Roman Catholic motion picture award, the Grand Prix, and "The Best Film of 1961" award by the National Board of Review of Motion Pic- tures. The Edison Foundation, spon- sors of the National Mass Media Award, stated about this movie, "The film dramatizes the conflict between church and state in East Germany and brilliantly depicts how the religious conscience is tested and persecuted there." Hundreds of West German citi- zens turned out to help film the movie even though their names were reported to Communist au- thorities located beyond the five mile border. The Lutheran Film Associates, producers of "Question 7," also made the internationally acclaim- ed picture, "Martin Luther." States; History of India and Southeastern Asia; Arts of the Theater; Theater of the Western World; Romantic Movement; Vic- torian Literature; and Audio Vis- ual Aides. Concerning the Busi- ness Department is the elimina- tion of Business Math, which will be combined and integrated with Math of Finance. In addition to the above, changes have also been made in the department requirements for history and English. In both cases, the course has been out- lined with required courses in the specific field to give the student a broader more reliable back- ground in his specialty. Fast, faster, fastest — we're not walking, we're zooming! The X-15 rocket plane jets through the air at 4,070 miles per hour — almost four times the speed of sound. The new Mark X Jaguar sedan races across the face of the earth at 120 m.p.h. — almost quad- rupling the speed of greyhounds. Atomic submarines flash through the seas at "top-secret" speeds — leaving the swiftest sailfish behind. What's the moving force behind all these wonders? It's power — more power, better power, and different sources of power. It all began when we had only one source of power: our own muscles. Early man quickly sought ways to harness the pow- ers he could see, easing his work load. He used fire to cook food, make pottery hard, cut out logs, run engines. He used animals to haul, plant and thresh. He used moving water to grind flour, the wind to pupsh ships from port to port. Man has always been dream- ing of taming one blazing source of power. It's the sun — which radiates the equivalent of a one- kilowatt electric heater on every square yard of our plant every day. Two thousand years ago, the Greek mathematician, Archime- des, found a way to use the sun as a weapon of 1 war. When the Roman fleet attacked Greece, Archimedes erected this defense on the shore: "A burning glass composed of small mirrors, mov- ing every way on hinges — so as to reduce the fleet to ashes at a distance of a bow shot." The mirrors ignited the ships' sails, catching the Romans with their sails not only down, but ablaze! Today, solar batteries are doing things with the sun that not even Archimedes dreamed of. Solar energy is powering telephone in- stallations, providing year-round air-conditioning and heating. It's even cooking. With a solar re- flector stove, you can have the healthiest sun-baked ham 'n eggs ever — or, for that matter, chick- en. The biggest revolution on land — one still going on today — was started when the self-moving car- riage — the auto — came on the scene. It came down the road in 1765, with no horse to pull it, mir- aculously powered by steam, and traveling at the rate of 2 miles per hour. Five years later, its speed jumped 50% higher: 3 miles an hour, but this reckless rate threw it out of control, landing it in a ditch. Today, the fastest sedan of its class in the world, the new Mark X Jaguar, can speed up to 120 miles per hour, and its 265-horse- power engine can accelerate from to 30 m.p.h. in four seconds. But, this high-powered car goes no place until it's been given exhaustive quality control tests: each Mark X is checked 47 times during its production. Driving in the Mark X is almost effortless. There's exceptional silence even at its highest speeds, due to the stressed shell, all-steel body of patented monocoque design, a de- sign developed and proven in the "D" type racing Jag, which won the Grand Prix of Endurance at Le Mans, France, three times. On sea, ships were powered only by wind and sails until the early 19th century when the Eng- lishman, James Watt, invented the steam engine and the Ameri- can, Robert Fulton, invented a boat that could be powered by it. Actually, the first steam engine was invented 2,000 years ago by (Continued on Page 4) SOCIAL CALENDAR February 28— March 7, 1962 Wednesday February 28 Basketball: Elizabethtown, A Kappa Delta Pledge Banquet Thursday March 1 Seibert Hall, Dr. Nary J-4 Friday March 2 Recital, Seibert, Dr. Schoenwelss, 8:00 p.m. Saturday March 3 WAA Sports Day, H Women's Auxiliary 2:30 Tau Kappa Dance Lounge Dance Sunday March 4 SCA Vespers, Alpha Delta Pi Tuesday March 8 SCA Fastnacht Social, Horton Dining, Hall Ml Events of Surrounding Universities Buck noil University: "18 Painters of the 19th Century" from the IBM Corporation Collection, Kress Gallery, Second Floor, Gallery two, March 3-22.

M ' Wednesday, February 28, 1962-THE CRUSADER— Page 3 SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE As you notice in the baseball article which is printed on this page, Susquehanna's baseball team is heading South during the Spring Vaca- tion to play some pre-season games. Faced with bad weather conditions since practice started on Feb. 1, the Crusaders will be at a disadvantage since Elon College and Campbell College will most likely have a number of games under their belts by the time the Crusaders arrive. Even if weather conditions were not against them, the Garrettt- coached nine would still be in for a rough time, especially when they face Elon. A majority of the boys attending this school in North Caro- lina are boys who were outstanding high school athletes, many of them coming from Pennsylvania. This writer happens to know the catcher of the Elon squad who was sought by many major league clubs after high school graduation and is now attending college with a bonus contract awaiting him after he graduates. If the rest of the team are of this boy's calibre Elon spells trouble for Susquehanna. ***** ***** Clark Mosier, who dumped in 35 points against Franklin & Mar- shall on Saturday nite in the Selinsgrove gym, has now raised his season total to 492. With two games remaining on the Susquehanna schedule at the time of this writing, S.U. sensational junior guard needs only 34 more points to break the university record of 522 set by Frank Romano in 1955-56. Incidentally, Romano was one of the spectators who saw Mosier perform brilliantly in the Crusader victory over Hof- stra. ***** ***** ***** The girls basketball team at Susquehanna has also been doing quite well this season. The Crusader lassies, coached by Miss Betsy McDowell, have won five games while losing only three this season. High-scoring Toby Brodisch is hitting the nets at the rate of 23.8 points per game. The big question now is "Can Toby finish the season with a higher average than Mosier?" This Saturday, March 3, the Susquehanna female athletes will play host to girls from Penn State, Dickinson, and Bloomsburg in a Sports Day attraction. Games will get underway at 1:00 p.m. in Alumni Gym- nasium ***** ***** ***** Those of you who enjoyed watching the Hofstra coach Bill van- Breda Kolff ranting and raving at the officials during the contest may be surprised to know that this man is considered, by people who fol- low basketball closely, to be one of the best coaches in the East. Maybe that's the way you gain recognition, by jumping up and down on the bench. ***** ***** ***** This column would like to extend congratulations to those basket- ball players from G.A. Hall who contributed to the winning of the intra- mural basketball trophy. One question — Where are you going to display it? Tired but happy the S.U. Women's basketball team poses around its coach, Miss Betsy McDowell. The female hoopsters had just de- feated a determined Wilkes squad 35-32. Toby Brodisch led with 23. Women's Hoopsters Drop Wilkes 35-32 Susquehanna's Women's Var- sity basketball teach, coached by Miss Betsy McDowell, and cap- tained by senior guard, Joan Law- ley, ended its season with a 2-2 league record. In a close and rough game, they defeated Wilkes last Thursday night by a score of 35-32. Susquehanna and Wilkes totaled the same amount of points in each quarter except for the tint Barrmen Beat F&M 80-46; Mosier, 35 Susquehanna's high flying Cru- saders rolled to their thirteenth win of the season last Saturday night as they dropped Franklin and Marshall by an 80-46 count. Clark Mosier, 6-2 junior guard, paced the Crusaders as he threw in 14 field goals and 7 foul shots for a 35 point total. He is now averaging 27 points a contest. Supporting Mosier in the S.U. victory were Captain Bill Moore who dumped in 14 markers, snapshooting Joe Billig with 11 points, and cornerman Jim Gal- lagher with a 10-point contribu- tion. The Crusaders took an early 8-2 lead in the contest and were never seriously threatened by the Diplomats. By the end of the first 20 minutes of play they had built up a 33-19 margin. In the second half the Barr- coached five began taking more shots from the outside and in- creased their lead. The reserves of both teams saw plenty of ac- tion in the second period. Rich Mahland, 6-4 sophomore from Merrick, N.Y., led the scor- ing for F. & M. with 16 points. His snapshooting and tricky ball handling kept the Crusader de- fense constantly on the alert.

Toby Brodisch, who played an excellent game, really racked up the points, as she always does. She scored a total of 23 points, while Ann Spriggle contributed 7, and Jean Ewald, 5. The team has improved its per- centage of foul shots from 28% in the first game to 40% in this last game. This is also the last game for seniors Joan Lawley, ■Jean Ewald and manager Anne Ostheim. 17 12 46 GA Hall Downs South; Wins Intramural Title Friday night in the Susquehan- na Gym, GA Hall, led by Mike Zelinsky, rolled to a 68-60 victory over South Dorm to capture the basketball intramural crown. GA took an early lead in the contest and withstood several scoring threats by South Dorm, taking a 34-28 half-time lead. With two minutes remaining in the ball game. South Dorm again closed the margin to within three points and then fell apart in the closing seconds, losing by an 8 point spread. Zelinsky took scoring honors in the contest by dropping in 23 markers. Sam Metzger also hit double figures for GA Hall by scoring 19. High man for South Dorm was Roger Kuntz with 21 points. Rog- er Forgerson and Bob Good also hit for 15 and 10 points for the losers. Big Tom McCarrick has provided needed height for the Crusader basketball team all season. Tom's inspired play both offensively and defensively were a big factor in the recent win over Hofstra. Baseball Squad Prepares For Southern Swing, March 15-21 The Susquehanna University baseball team, under the tutelage of head coach James Garrett, is working into the final two weeks of their extensive pre-season training in the gym, preparing for the current campaign which will open on the University baseball field on Wednes- day, April 4, with a doubleheader versus Upsala College. The team has a month of practice beneath its belt and has shown marked interest in the diamond sport, despite the fact of their being handicapped to practice in a small gymnasium. Susquehanna will begin another first this year by sending the hardball nine on a southern train- ing period during the Spring va- cation. At 2 p.m. on March 15, the team will leave the University for the Hargrave Military Acad- emy in Virginia which they will make their home base. From Hargrave they will reach to play I seven game pre-season sched- ule. On March 16 and 17 the Cru- saders will travel to Buies Creek, North Carolina, for two games with Campbell College. No games have been scheduled for Sunday, March 18. The Crusaders resume action on Monday, March 19, with a single game versus Lynchburg College at Lynchburg, Va. Two back-to-back double headers ver- sus Elon College, Elon, N.C., on March 20 and 21 will bring the southern tour to a close. The team will leave Elon after their second game and head north to Susquehanna, with tentative ar- rival time set for 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. on March 22. The team will report to classes that day, so that not a single cut of classes will be incurred by this trip. Coach Garrett eyes the team and the season with great enthusi- asm. This year's schedule has been enlarged to nineteen regular season games, topping all pre- vious seasons in number of games played. Coach Garrett was quoted as saying, "We have a fine oppor- tunity to have a great team this year. How well we do during our regular season depends entirely on how badly the boys themselves want to succeed." Currently the team is composed of nineteen candidates, with eight of these being freshmen. Coach Garrett is planning to keep the entire roster as long as he feels that each man has something to offer to the team, or as long as each man can help the team. With the increased number of double- headers this season, the coach is especially interested in develop- ing a strong pitching staff. At present five pitchers dot the ros- ter, Jim Gibney and Sam Wil- liams top the list, with Roger For- gerson, Paul Wendler, and Jim Hutchinson following close behind. Tentative line-up for the team in batting order is as follows: Green, center field; Gerkins, Horowitz, or Vignone, left field; Luscko, third base; Kissinger, shortstop; MacGlaughlin, first base; Butler, right field; Gerkins, Forgerson or McClosky, second base; Hirsch, Joyce, Eberly, or Zerbe, catcher; and above named pitchers. Be- sides being a starting pitcher, Jim Gibney is slated to see some action in left field between mound dates because of the power he possesses at the plate. Of the eight freshman candi- dates, Coach Garrett has selected the top three as follows: Dick Hirsch. Jim Gibney, and Roger (Continued en Page 4) mmmmm Page 4— THE CRUSADER— Wednesday, February 28, 1962 THE GREEK VINE ALPHA XI DELTA Gamma Kappa chapter an- nounces with pride the officers of their 1962 pledge class: Janet Clark, President; Nancy Corson, Vice President; Carolyn Tweed, Secretary; Nan Keller, Treasur- er. Having begun their pledge duties under the vigorous super- vision of Pledge Master Barb Stockalis, the sisters-to-be are anticipating plans for several pro- jects. The entire pledge class wishes to thank their advisors, Mrs. De- Mott and Mrs. Potteiger, for the delicious buffet dinner given in their honor at the DeMott home. The evening was completed by the sampling of unique chocolate- covered grasshoppers, ants, bees, and caterpillars. This treat was one which the pledges will not easily forget! Another successful event will remain in the memories of the Alpha Xi's — all fourteen of the pledges voyaged to Paradise Is- land to secure their cherished paddles. Hearty congratulations to Sister Mary Ann Beck who was the win- ner of the Alpha Xi plaque for the most improved scholarship aver- age within the chapter during the past year. Best wishes and pink roses are extended to Sister Sue Detjen, who recently became pinned to Terry Moll of Theta Chi. KAPPA DELTA Saturday night was one to be remembered for the KD Sisters and pledges as they danced to the beat of Hal Herman's Band in a "Tropical Paradise." Pledge pad- dles and nosegays were given to sixteen proud KD girls. And to coin an old phrase — a good time was had by all. Many new and exciting events were on the agenda for the pledges this week. On Sunday night the sisters treated them to a pre-season boxlunch picnic in the sorority room. On Wednesday night they will be honored at the annual Pledge Banquet at the Hotel Milton fea- turing a tantalizing menu of lob- ster or chicken. To show their appreciation to the sisters, the pledges are per- forming their duties with extra zest and zeal, as they tip their dinks, address the Sisters as Miss, and even write character sketches on the eleven seniors! Congratulations go to the newly- elected officers of the pledge class — Barbara Evans, Presi- dent; Marigail Moreland, vice president: Barbara Allen, secre- tary, and Pris Limbert, treasur- er. The Sisters are sure they'll do a great job. Breakfast in bed, being escort- ed to church, a surprise treat at the Dutch Pantry — these are only a few of the memories that former-pledge Patsy Hoehling had as she was initiated into Kappa Delta's circle on Monday night. A white rose and a warm wel- come is extended to KD's newest sister. SIGMA ALPHA IOTA Sigma Omega's pledging cere- mony on Monday evening, Feb- ruary 19, was the start of a pe- riod of apprenticeship for four Freshmen women from the Music Department. The Sisters extend I hearty and musical welcome to Cherie Ayers, Phoebe Hinkel, Jean Price, and Donna Rother- mel. These girls received their pledge paddles in the "Paradise Island" atmosphere of the Pledge Dance on Saturday night. Now, proudly wearing their gold Pan Pipes and their "big sisters' " red blazers, the four have enter- ed into all of SAI's activities, from cleaning the room to memo- rizing music. They have also been busy gathering orders for fraternity and sorority pillows from among the pledges to these organizations. SAI's, ever alert to the expan- sion of musical interests, are look- ing forward to the recital of Dr. Georg Schoenweiss, lecturer in the field of Religion and an ex- cellent cellist, organist, and pian- ist, who will play a program of German music on March 2nd. They also urge everyone to attend the Maynard Ferguson Band Con- cert to hear jazz well played. Congratulations go to Peggy Simon, who was once again on the Dean's List, and to Lynda Dries for a job well done as Co-Chair- man of the Decorations Commit- tee for the Pledge Dance. THETA CHI Officers of the Pledge Class ot 1962 have been announced by Theta Chi President, Les Butler, as being: Don Fisher, President Pete Kuntz, Vice President; Dave Koch, Secretary-Treasurer; Lar- ry Erdman, Chaplain. From the looks of the house this year's pledge class is the hardest work- ing in years. Pledge Marshal Nate Ward is to be commended on his fine job so far. The Big Red basketball squad is to be congratulated on its strong finish in the second half of intramural play. Recognition should be given to the brothers who contributed to the fine show- ing of this year's team. Bill Ger- kins and Jim Summers of the "If Room, the "Big M" from York, the Mutt and Jeff of the squad — Jim Parker and Don Bowes, and the talented bench- warmers George "Little Sam Huff" Kirchner, and John "Farm- er" Kaufman, Tom "Sue" Curtis, and Ron "Elbows" Hendrix. The brotherhood is now in the process of selecting officers for the coming year. The list of nom- inees boasts men of fine qualities and the ability to work diligently. Best of luck to those elected. Plans are rollfng along at a rapid pace as the brotherhood enters the final stages of prepara- tion for the Region Three Conven- tion of Theta Chi to be held at Susquehanna on March 30-31. As an added note from the home front, the Prexy is overjoyed at the prospects or Rog and Mick 'i.e. Maris and Mantle) complet- ing their venture in Hollywood. Although Les never is, the new flick by the M-Squad will be call- ed "Safe at Home." LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Last Wednesday night at the Lambda Chi house the following officers were elected and install- ed: Tony Padula, president; Paul Pavlishin. vice president; Rudy van der Heil, secretary; Kit Hed- ler, treasurer; Roland Marionni, ritualist: Bill Jones, social chair- man; Neal Markle, rush chair- man; John Kind, pledgemaster; and Jeff Weichel, alumni corre- spondent. A great deal of thanks for a job well done should go to the follow- ing outgoing officers, who have done a fine job this year: Tom llanshaw, Ed Mannello. George Kindon. Al Aungst, John Pigna- tore, Joe Perfilio, and Len Bet- koski. Social Chairman Bill Jones is already hard at work planning for the coming Hobo Party which will be held on March 10. The pledges, who are in charge of decorating, are presently collect- ing old newspapers for the big night. Several brothers will be seen in this year's Shakepearean Festival which will present The Merchant of Venice. They are: Dick Ron- land, Joe Perfilio, John Pigna- tore, Roland Marionni, Fred Dun- kleberger, and Jack Graham. The Brotherhood extends its congratulations to the sisters and pledges of Alpha Delta Pi for their successful shoeshine project. The brothers, along the same line, are considering sponsoring a "Sock Wash" in the near future under the direction of Terry Kis- singer. PHI EPSILON The following men were elect- ed last week to lead Susquehan- na's newest fraternity in the coming year: President, Jeff Whitney; Vice President, Walt Shirk; Secretary, John Eggert; Treasurer, James C. Black; His- torian, Harry Strine; Rush Chair- man, Walt Speidell; Chaplain, "Bud" London; Pledge Marshal, Marty J. Malone; Corresponding Secretary, Brian Bolig; Social Chairman, Tony Colombet; Ser- geant-at-Arms, Cy Merwin; and House Manager, Bill Lindsay. Phi Epsilon 's pledges elected the following men to lead their pledge class: President, Bill Pierce; Vice President, R. Brent Swope; Secretary, Joe Klinebau- er; Treasurer, Milt Kuhn; and Chaplain, Milt Maslin. Lee Smith and Milt Maslin were appointed as co-chairmen for the pledge project committee. Congratulations to Brother Jim Sandahl and pledge Bill Andel for their participation in the Song Recital and Opera Workshop held last weekend. Particular men- tion has to be made of the natural warmth of tenor Jim Sandahl in the new arrangement of "Tell Me Why." Brother Walt Speidell is mak- ing arrangements for Phi Epsilon to hold an intra-Phi Epsilon bowl- ing tournament, ping-pong tourna- ment, and the second bi-annual chess tournament. Last week Phi Epsilon sent in their petition to the headquarters of Tau Kappa Epsilon to obtain a charter. The "BIG" day will take place before the close of this semester. Congratulations to Brother Har- ry Strine who is playing the part of "Tubal" in The Merchant of Venice. Also belated congratulations to Pledge Dave Pennypacker who made the Dean's List. Power (Continued from Page 2) Hero of Alexandria, a great sci- entist, but nobody then, including its inventor, realized its impor- tance. Fulton, though, had problems of his own. He tried to convince Napoleon who was battling the English for sea supremacy, to build a submarine to lick their enemy's navy under the water. But the French turned thumbs down, deciding not to embark on such a "barbaric" method of warfare! Thwarted in that plan, Fulton hoped then to interest Na- poleon in his idea for a steam ship, but the Emperor turned him down with this jibe: "So you want to drive a ship with cigar smoke!" Eventually, in 1807, Fulton's ship, the Clermont, puffed its way The Story of Memory Aids MEMORY AIDS Even the finest memory in the world couldn't recall all the varied memory aids that have been tried through the centuries. They have been as simple as the printed sticker, six feet from the end of a roll of Reynolds Wrap, that tells the housewife it's time to get a new roll of aluminum standard, economy, giant, heavy duty or broil- ing foil. To make things even easier, the pressure sensitive sticker peels off easily and can be stuck on the housewife's grocery list as a shopping reminder — she doesn't even have to remember to write down the words "aluminum foil." At the other extreme, memory jogs can be as complicated as the one devised by a 6th century B.C. Greek named Simonides. He thought a woman could recall a grocery list by picturing the items stacked in a certain order around her bedroom or living room. Whenever she wanted to recall the items, she simply visualized the room and its contents! A different use of groceries as memory aids was made by Lau- renz Fries in 1523. "Partake of roast fowls, small birds or young hares for dinner, then apples or nuts for dessert," he wrote in a work entitled How Memory Can be Wonderfully Strengthened. Then there was the 16th cen- tury Italian professor who pub- lished a system which used "the most beautiful maidens his mind could conceive" as keys for the items on a list of things to be memorized. Curiously, posterity has forgotten his name. More valid are these memory improvement rules suggested by modern experts: 1. Be alert to what you want to learn —make a conscious effort. 2. Be sure you understand the meaning of what you want to re- member. 3. Use your sight, movement, and sound memory. To memo- rize words, for instance, look at them, say them aloud, and listen. 4. Organize the material. It's easier to remember dates in a time sequence than dates that are mixed. 5. Use a trick to remember. A music student uses the phrase "Every good boy deserves fine" to remember the_Unes__ol_lhfi-- musicatScair^E, G, B, D, and F, from the first letters. Math students remember the number 3.14159 (pi) from the phrase "See I have a rhyme assisting" — the number of letters in each word. 6. Get yourself interested in what you want to remember. To remember people's names, for instance, get to know them well. 7. Spread out the memorizing. Herman Ebbinghaus, a noted psy- chologist, found it took him 68 repetitions to memorize a long list of words in one day. With a similar list, and taking three days, he made it in only 38 repe- titions. What's more, he remem- bered the second list longer. If, after all this, you still have trouble remembering things, take heart. Some things are bound to stick — you'll probably always have a good supply of aluminum foil, for example. And even an excellent memory has its quirks; the late columnist Franklin P. Adams could remember all the Latin he learned as a boy, yet forgot all the French he learned in his forties. Furthermore, a good memory is not necessarily a sign of intelligence; some very dim-witted people, called idiot savants, learn to memorize very well. That's something to remember — next tirne you forget. from New York to Albany, travel- ing at the then astounding rate of almost 5 miles per hour! It brought fame and fortune to its inventor, and revolutionized sea travel. Today, nuclear and atomic en- ergy is ushering in a second rev- olution in sea power. Now swim- ming the seas are the mightiest warships to date: great, fast- moving, floating airfields, Polaris missiles, nuclear submarines — with enormous striking power and almost boundless ranges. In the air, we've left the birds far behind, with jet planes that make it possible to fly to Paris for the weekend, with rockets that soar through outer space at 18,000 miles per hour, and which, one day soon, will leap first to the moon, then on to the planets. If two new sources of power — unleashed by both the atomic and hydrogen bomb — can be har- nessed, the future will see atomic- powered jet planes flying at breathless speeds, atomic reactor highway builders melting through mountains in seconds, vast amounts of cheap electricity pow- ered by the heavy hydrogen iff water.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1962 SUSQUEHANNA'S SPOTLIGHT FOCUSES ON MUSIC Alice and Arthur Nagle will present a duo-piano recital on Friday, March 9, in Seibert Chapel. SAI Presents Duo-Piano Team; Nagles Will Perform March 9 The first of the musical events to take place this coming weekend will be a type of concert not often heard at S.U. or elsewhere. Alice and Arthur Nagle, a duo-piano team, will perform in Seibert at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, March 9. This husband and wife team from Chevy Chase, Maryland, met while studying piano with the same teacher, and decided to branch out into the duo-piano repertoire. The art of combining two of an instrument which is usually play- ed solo or with an instrument of a different timbre requires a new technique for both the artist and the composer. For this reason the Nagles are especially inter- ested in contemporary literature, and often include in their pro- grams works written specifically for them. One of these composi- tions will be heard here at S.U., Ricercare, composed for them in 1961 by Robert Evett. The Nagles are being brought to Susquehanna by Sigma Alpha Iota for a double purpose: to ad- vance the interests of good music on campus and to raise money for Sigma Omega's Convention Fund. General admission will be free, as with other artist perform- ances, but SAI is asking for Pa- tron Donations <of $2.00 each), for which acknowledgement will be made on the program. The money is being raised to finance the chapter's trip to the SAI Na- tional Convention in Chicago this August. The group met Mrs. Nagle, who is an SAI, in Wash- ington, D.C., at Iota Province Day last March. The Nagles are very well known in Washington, where they have piayed at em- bassy affairs, as well as in the South and Midwest in recital, on radio and television and as solo- ist! with chamber orchestra. Synod Will Give SU Financial Support Susquehanna University i s scheduled to receive 96 per cent of Central Pennsylvania Synod's financial support for higher edu- cation. This proposal was made by a group governing 21 colleges of the new Lutheran Church in America and their 31 supporting constituent synods. Already endorsed by the Joint Commission on Lutheran Unity the plan will be submitted in June for approval by the consti- tuting convention of the new church at Detroit. Last year Susquehanna receiv- ed support from the United Lu- theran Church's Central Pennsyl- vania Synod amounting to $50,- 000. This figure is expected to nearly-double in 1962 as the re- sult of synodical action in favor of a proposed new chapel build- ing. Under the new plan being sub- mitted to the new church body, it is possible that the university may receive upwards of $200,000 annually in synodical support. With the resounding thrill of brass fanfare, the Susquehanna Symphonic Band will begin its long-awaited annual concert. The program, to be held in the Selins- grove State School Auditorium at 3:00 on Sunday, March 11, is sure to be an exciting one. Ad- mission is free and everyone is welcome! • After the fanfare and the band's own "trademark," the United States Steel Suite Intro, the band will play a variety of numbers ranging in character from the musically demanding and well-loved Sousa marches to the light-hearted "Tubby the Tuba." Tubby, the Tuba who was bored with his humdrum "oom- pah-pah" and finally gets a chance to play melody, is play- ed by Tom Donlan, and narrated by Lynn Lerew. Judith Blee, a petite and proficient senior trum- peter, will solo in Trumpet Con- certo. At S.U. band rehearsals under the able direction of Mr. James B. Steffy, hard work and fun go hand in hand. The group's high spirit and devotion to music is at once noticeable to the observer and is reflected in its playing of the music. The band's enthusi- asm is somehow communicated to the listener. Susquehanna University will be well represented when the 60 member symphonic band makes its annual tour on March 19-23 in the Altoona-Johnstown area. A busy schedule of 13 performances is planned — a lot of work, but just ask any band member how much he is looking forward to it! The concert is well worth hear- ing and promises to be as good as, if not better than, the suc- cesses scored earlier by the band this season when they presented the Civil War Memorial Concert and made a television appear- ance featuring Christmas music in December. <"»• " ■-■ ~ ■ ■ ' ■ ii ii m ■ . v. i . i I .W » , I .M.M. m i i.Ui.

Miss Tourel will present a program of varied interest showing the full range of her exceptional ta'ent. The program is presented in conjunction with the Susquehanna Artist Series. Admission is free and all members of the Susquehanna community are urged to attend. Jennie Tourel Concert Heads March Artist Series Program by Barb Stockalis "Today a queen among vocal interpreters. Long may she reign!" These are the words which the New York Herald-Tribune used to de- scribe the world-famous mezzo-soprano, Jennie Tourel. Time maga- zine had this to say: "One of the top recitalists in the United States today and probably the most versatile!" It is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that Susquehanna will welcome Miss Jennie Tourel on Monday evening, March 12. The students and faculty of the Uni- versity, as well as area residents, are certainly assured a perform- ance which will far exceed excellence. The Artist Series committee has announced that the concert will be held in the 900-seat Selins- grove State School auditorium. It was previously scheduled for Seibert Hall. However, due to the fact that response to this season's programs has been so over- whelming, it was necessary to seek a larger concert hall in or- der to meet the demands of those who wish to attend. When it was found the auditorium was free for the March 12 date, officials at the State School graciously of- fered their facilities. Miss Tourel. who is of Russian parentage, was brought up in France and Switzerland. As such, she considers herself to be of Russian background, of French education, and American by adoption. At the age of sixteen. she was already an accomplished pianist well on her way to a con- cert career. Her first appearance was the Opera - Comique, where she starred for thirteen years. She dates her present world re- nown as a song recitalist to her first concert appearance in the United States in 1942. With Ar- turo Toscanini conducting the New York Philharmonic*- Sym- phony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in the seldom-heard "Romeo and Juliet" Symphony, Jennie's voice rang out as Juliet to an audience of three thousand. The next day the whole town was buzzing. Tourel was France's greatest Carmen and Mignon. and recreat- ed the role of Desdemona in a rare performance of Rossini's "Othello." Having sung with vir- tually every major conductor in the world, she has been the star of many "firsts". She premiered Leonard Bernstein's "Jeremiah Symphony" in Pittsburgh, and he in turn has written his song cy- cles "I Hate Music" and "La Bonne Cuisine" especially for her. Currently appearing with Bernstein in Japan, Miss Tourel has filled vast halls from New York to Rio. and from Jerusalem to Johannesburg, with clamoring SRO audiences. Considered pres- ently to be in her prime, she is already a legend in music circles.

V HERALD TRIBUNE JENNIE "Greatest singing musician -artist we know' Pout Hume, Washington Poit Apathy At S. U. On December 14, 1962, an editorial appeared in this paper entitled, "Let Us Be Seated." Following the appearance of Ogden Nash on campus and the seating problem faced in Seibert Hall, this editor felt compelled to make a few suggestions about future Artist Series. Con- trary to popular belief that the evil administration ignores all student complaints, action on the seating problem has been taken. The Jennie Tourel concert will be held at the State School. Will this editor be vindicated in his p'ea for better seating arrangements for S.U. stu- dents? We doubt it! ! Let's face facts. The majority of the students on this campus are either apathetic or totally oblivious to the campus life. Evidence you say? The biggest election on campus is for Student Council. Last year about 50% of the student body voted — a rather good turnout in light of recent years. The Student Council has worked on bringing a big name entertainer to the campus and where is the marker on the ther- mometer in the lounge? — still at the bottom! Do you have your ticket yet? The voting turnout for the "Best Dressed" election was about 35%. To prove a point we might even add that this campus is so ob- livious to events that the people to whom this editorial is directed won't even have the gumption to write this editor in defence or agreement. The only people who will care about this editorial are the 250 college men and women on this campus who are getting something out of cam- pus life. On behalf of that group we might say to the rest of you, "You don't know what you're missing!" And now what about the Jennie Tourel concert. There is no rea- son this entire campus shouldn't turn up at the State School. Miss Tourel offers one of the finest soprano voices in the country today. Even if you don't think you like a little culture you should try it just once. But be careful, if you go more than once to a campus event, you might find it enjoyable. We would like nothing better than to have to eat these words. Full houses at the Tourel concert, at Maynard Ferguson, at the Symphonic Band would make us quite happy. We would love to see a real elec- tion for Student Council with candidates expressing their views and a better than 80 r J vote turnout. But will it happen? No, the small but interested minority will continue to share in and enjoy the campus life while the vast majority blunders along complaining of ll the work they have to do and the lack of a social life at S.U. Try going half way some time, you'll be amazed at the results. L.B. TO CONTRIBUTORS: Due to a mix-up with The Daily Item and other considerations the Greek Vine has been omitted this week.

Last Friday evening, March 2, a newcomer to Susquehanna and a man who has already won the hearts of faculty and students alike, walked out onto Seibert's stage and spoke to an enthusiast- ic audience in "the language everyone understands" — music. Dr. Georg Schoenweiss, newly arrived this semester from Ger- many, is a lecturer in the field of Religion, and a talented pian- ist, organist, and cellist as well. His appearance on stage was greeted by warm applause, which he smilingly said he hoped would be as strong after his perform- ance as before. Dr. Schoenweiss then prefaced his informal re- cital with a few remarks to the effect that although he suffered from stage fright, he hoped to show us that not everyone must be a professional to get fun out of music, the universal language. The most formal section of Dr. Schoenweiss' recital began with a Prelude in G Major by J. S. Bach, performed at the organ. This was aptly chosen as the "prelude" to the evening, for it was played with an obvious love for the majesty and dignity of Bach's music. If some fluency was lacking, this was obliviated by the musical message which the performer delivered. This was followed by a short Sonata by Mozart, well-performed with more agility than the first selec- tion. If anyone in the audience had conceived of Mozart's music as being all form and no expres- sion, Dr. Schoenweiss proved this to be wrong. He was familiar with all the moods of each move- ment, and played the third with special gaiety and clarity. Next on the program was the beloved "Moonlight" Sonata, or Beetho ven's piano sonata in c# minor, op. 27, no. 2. The first movement was characterized by a quiet, singing tone in the right hand, and, though this was a very well- known piece, no one could detect a flaw. There was strength and agility in the third movement, as well as a new interpretation. The final number of the first part was Schubert's Impromptu, a del- icate textured work in which the florid passages were handled well. Of note in this selection was Dr. Schoenweiss' ability to maintain the melody over the harmonic structure. In the second portion of the re- cital, Dr. Schoenweiss was joined by Miss Patricia Knapp, soprano. Miss Knapp sang three German "lieder," or love songs, two by Schubert and one by Schumann. She has a pleasing, light voice, and handled the German pronun- ciation with ease. Her occasion- al lack of breath did not keep her from maintaining the meaning of the text with voice and facial ex- pression. Dr. Schoenweiss sang a fourth song, accompanying him- self at the piano, no easy feat considering the intracacy of the piano accompaniment. Although he claimed before he began that he is not a singer, his voice was well-suited to the type of the lit- erature he was performing. The third, and more informal, part of the evening consisted of German folk songs. Dr. Schoen- weiss sang a number of these with varied texts, and invited the audience to hum along where the (Continued on Page 3, Column 3)' Lycoming To Sponsor Musical Competition For Area Colleges College, talent alert!

Stockings aren't cheap! Seibert Girls ^^ — ■— ■— ■■ — SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Last week this writer happened to read a sports column written by Jim Murray in a Lancaster newspaper. The column proved so in- teresting that we decided to reprint it for your enjoyment, so the fol- lowing is, in part, Mr. Murray's column which was written on Wash- ington's birthday. History, as someone said is humbug. I mean, you probably think George Washington really did throw a silver dollar across the Rappahanock but it's highly doubtful. For one thing, he was too tight. Those who know him best say he wouldn't throw a penny across a bathtub without a string on it. It's the same with sports history. It gets all distorted in the re- telling. So what I'd like to do is distort it some more — and give you some of Murray's Mad History. You undoubtedly think that Babe Ruth was pointing to the bleach- ers for a home run he was about to hit that day in Chicago in 1932. Wrong. The umpire had just asked him where the gent's room was. And Fred Merkle didn't forget to touch second base. He saw his teammates leaving the field and he suddenly remembered he had left his wallet on top of his locker. Sports quotes are all fouled up, too. Here is the true story behind most of them. "Say it isn't so, Joe." Now, this was supposed to have been utter- ed by a heart-broken urchin as Shoeless Joe Jackson came out of the courtroom after copping out to throwing a World Series. Actually, it was said by the doorman to Joe DiMaggio's apartment house the night the papers announced Joe and Marilyn Monroe were splitting up. Is Brooklyn Still In The League?" This was attributed to a sneer Giant Manager Bill Terry made in 1934, a piece of contempt that was to cost him the pennant. In actuality, this question was asked by a monk from Siberia, who returned to this country after an absence of 30 years and took a subway out to Ebbetts Field last summer. When last seen this monk was studying a road map to Chavez Ravine with a hurt look on his face. "Win One For the Old Gipper." You all know the derivation of this. George Gipp, the great Notre Dame halfback, lay dying and called coach Knute Rockne down to him and said, "Coach, some time when the team is down and they don't have much chancS and Army is too strong for them, ask them to go out and win one for the old Gipper." All this, of course, was according to Rockne who had to wait several years till Army got strong enough for him to need the quote. What history doesn't tell is there was a Terre Haute gambler named Ambrose the Gyp who also pulled Rockne down to his bedside one night and said "Coach, some time when the team is down and they don't have much chance and Army is too strong for them, take this ten-spot and bet it on Army and win one for the old Gypper." "Nice Guys Finish Last." This line is commonly pinned on Leo Durocher who was on record as saying that unless you would kick your grandmother's upper plate out to score a run, you don't belong in baseball. He was right on that count. You belonged in jail. But the original use of the quote dates back to a debate in the jockey's room at a famous racetrack one afternoon when the boys were try- ing to set up the card that day to please everybody. But since it was muddy, several of the guys said they didn't want to finish last because they got sick and tired of changing goggles. Finally, the ringleader got exasperated and asked "Isn't there anybody here nice enough to finish last?" And one guy stood up with a sigh and said, "Well, if no one else will, I will." And that's how the ex- pression "Nice guys finish last" got started. Only they left out part of the quote. The rest of it goes "on muddy days." "Baby, I Zigged When I Should Have Zagged" was what Jack Dempsey was supposed to have said to his wife, Estelle Taylor, when he came home all beat up from the first Tunney fight. Actually, though, it's a direct quote from Wilt Chamberlain the night he didn't show up for a game and the coach went looking for him and found him stuck in a compact car. So there you have it. In case Mr. Murray happens to come across this column (that's very improbable; half the time my girl doesn't even read it) we'd like to thank him for the use of his material. S.U. Lassies Score Sweep In Four-College Play Day Event by Joan Lawley Susquehanna's women's varsity basketball team officially finished its season on Saturday on the home floor. The team was host to Penn State, Dickinson and Bloomsburg; volleyball, basketball, and pingpong were played. Except for pingpong, the S.U. girls made a clean sweep of the entire afternoon. Dickinson was the first team to drop at the hands of the S.U. six. The volleyball team showed defi- nite improvement over the per- formance that was displayed in previous sports days. The lassies had no trouble dropping Blooms- burg to take first place in the event; they downed them 15-0 in only four minutes of the first game, although the second was closed with a score of 14-6. The basketball team had to work harder to keep the first place in their event. They drop- ped Dickinson easily in the first game by a score of 21-11. But the blue and white of Penn State gave them trouble. The lassies edged them by a score of 16-15. Dickinson was the uncontested champion in pingpong in both singles and doubles. Penn State took second with Bloomsburg and Susquehanna following. The total number of points for the day were: Susquehanna, 11; Penn State, 8; Bloomsburg and Dick- inson each had 7. The day's events saw the final performance for forward, Jean Ewald; guard, Joan Lawley; and manager, Anne Ostheim. Wish Id Said That Reprinted from the February 1962 issue of The Reader's Digest.

The police notified a woman that her husband was perched on the 12th story ledge of a midtown hotel, threatening suicide. The wife raced to the hotel. While police held her outside the win- dow, she pleaded with her dis- traught husband not to jump. "You have so much to live for," she told him.

A Los Angeles man just back from a trip to his native Chicago mentioned that he had flown to New York to catch a plane back to L.A. "What for?" he was ask- ed.

Then, perhaps for the first time, a Sei- bert audience performed for it- self. Dr. Schoenweiss came to the front of the stage and taught everyone to sing a German round, then divided the audience and di- rected them in singing it. Every- one was amused by the results, and seemed pleased by this de- lightful innovation. The program ended with Brahm's Lullaby, the only selection which put anyone to sleep. The applause which brought Dr. Schoenweiss out for an extra curtain call was easily as enthusiastic as that which first greeted him.

Clark Mosier again paced the Crusaders, this time with a 31 point contribution. — Mosier dumped in 11 field goals and converted nine of eleven free throws to come within three points of breaking the college single season scoring record. Oth- er Crusaders sparking the team victory were Tom McCarrick hit- ting for 14 points, and captain Bill Moore scoring 17. Moore also grabbed 11 re- bounds', outplaying Upsala's Bob Brandes, one of the MAC's top re- bounders. Brandes needed 13 points to establish a new scoring record for the Vikings but could only score 10 against S.U.'s de- fense. Bill Engler was high scor- er for Upsala with 26 points. Both teams scored 30 field goals, but the Crusaders took bet- ter advantage of their foul shots converting 14 of 18, while the Vikings made only nine of 22.

The squad, cut to 35 men as a result of 12 drop-outs, will finish the practice season with the second annual spring football highlight. Also absent from the line-up will be Joe Perfilio, tough junior tackle, who will undergo a knee operation on March 15. Nevertheless, the game will be played according to regular game regulations, and no quarter will be asked and none given by either team. Ferguson Concert March 24, 1962 A few newscomers are bright- ening the scenes for Coach Gar- rett who seemed hard hit at sev- eral positions by graduation loss- es. Dave Revak, who the coach calls the best newcomer to SU football, is a tackle transfer from Cornell. Barry Hengst, an end from the 1960 squad, is back again on the roster adding depth to the end position. Richie Caru- so has moved into the guard po- sition vacated by Ben Di Franc- esco. Also showing marked pro- gress at the guard position is Barry Plitt, another freshman. Along with Plitt and Revak. Coach Garrett named John Luscko, Terry Kissinger and Lar- ry Erdman as being especially outstanding this spring. The team began workouts on February 7 in the gym and held eight half hour sessions through Friday, Feb. 13. On Monday, the 26th, the team suited up for out- side practice which is to be held every day except Sunday, March 4, for ninety minutes and which will culminate with the game on Saturday. "All openings in the line-up are really up to the play- ers," said the coach at a recent interview. "Up to the present time, no one has made a real challenge for them." The coach stated, however, that the team was practicing under severe handicaps due to weather and field conditions and said, "I deep- ly appreciate how well the men are working despite the condi- tions. It shows a real love for the game and it is a credit to their integrity." Looking ahead to next season, the Orange and Maroon will em- (Continued on Page 4) — Page 4— THE CRUSADER— Wednesday, March 7, 1962 Increase Your Word Power By Wilfred Funk In the following list, check the word or phrase you believe is near- est in meaning to the key word.

(20) PROPITIOUS - D: Favor- able; auspicious; as, a propi- tious •moment. Latin propitiui. by Dave Koch Rush week has long been over, the pledges are set in their re- spective houses and the hard work has now begun for some 60 men. Yet even though rush week has ended, there still remains that ever present discussion as to whether or not the system of rushing is good or could be im- proved upon. The object of this report was to obtain the views of several fraternity members and numerous pledges concerning rush week. The feelings of most pledges toward rush week was one of fun, liveliness, good food, anxiety and problems. The fun was ever pres- ent during that glorious week. Most prospective pledges are win- ed and dined in a manner con- trary to anything done previous- ly at this university. In the words of one pledge, "This type of rush- ing creates false impressions and could eventually provide a harm- ful relationship between the pledges and the brothers of the fraternity." Another pledge com- mented, "Although the food and entertainment were great, the problem of readjustment to stud- ies has proved difficult." This was a common feeling expressed by most pledges and many of the brothers. It is apparent that not only do the pledges have a hard time, but the brothers' job is even more difficult. Bill Lindsay said that to any conscientious brothers this one week will place a great strain on the individual and on the fi- nancial status of the house. He felt that to have a one week rush- ing period is poor and proposed that the school institute a pro- gram which would allow the houses to be open first semester. Bill stated that this would allow the men to meet the brothers un- der normal circumstances which would reduce the possibilities of false impression. Many problems must be dealt with, including the reduction of high pressuring. A stress should be placed on individual thinking. Perhaps when this problem is finally settled a plan will be adopted which, in Pete Beiger's words, "will establish a means whereby a gentleman can meet a gentleman without false im- pressions." For permanent job listings stu- dents should check the bulletin board in Selinsgrove Hall. Free literature is also available on the display case outside of Dr. Zim- mer's office. Students interested in any of these positions should contact Dr. Zimmer's office for further details. The Lancaster Pump and Manufacturing Com- pany has two openings in the Sales Department. One covers North and South Carolina, the other is for the states of Michi- gan. Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illi- nois. A college diploma is not necessary for these positions. The Housing and Home Finance Agency is offering a Housing In- tern Program for qualified sen- iors. Civil Service requirements must be met. The internship is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to perform as profes- sionals in the various Housing fields. The representatives of this agency will be on campus this spring. On the Selinsgrove bulletin board there is a list of current openings for college graduates at Swift and Company. Representa- tives of this company will also be here later this spring to interview- interested students. 14 23 26 26 The following is the revised schedule for interviews; further changes will be posted on the bulletin board and in the Crusad- er: March: 7 Springfield New Jersey High School 12 Internal Revenue Department 13 W.

Home-Grown Scholarships Now Provide Dollars For Scholars A rapidly-spreading idea to raise "dollars for scholars" is offer- ing American communities a new approach to the problem of provid- ing scholarships for deserving students. In an article in the March Reader's Digest, Robert O'Brien tells how more than 100 towns and cities are using "home-grown" scholarships to help bright, needy stu- dents gain a foothold in college. "Dollars for Scholars" — more formally known as the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of Amer- ica — is the brainchild of Dr. Irving A. Fradkin, a Fall River. Mass. optometrist. Concerned because lack of finances was keeping many bright youngsters out of college, Dr. Fradkin, in 1958, convinced skeptical Fall River leaders to launch a com- munity scholarship drive. Contributions came from sales of one - dollar "memberships," from religious, civic and business groups, from working men and students. Some $4,500 was col- lected and awarded to 24 out- standing high school teachers. Typical Citizens' Scholarship Foundation grants are small, us- ually around $250 a year. They are designed to help a youngster get established rather than to pay his way. The success of the Fall River program has spread to other com- munities in a way that delights Dr. Fradkin. He estimates that by next June there will be more than 100 CSF chapters in 30 states, awarding 1500 scholar- ships with a total value of $750,- 000. All CSF scholarships are no- strings-attached gifts, although recipients are encouraged to re- pay the funds if and when they can. As education costs continue to soar and as a college education is more and more the key to a rewarding career, the CSF idea offers every community an ex- citing opportunity to increase its stake in its own future and that of its young people.

Tickets may be purchased in the lounge or from Coun- cil members. Dupont, Civil Service Plan Job Interviews Two new job interviews have been arranged by Dr. Zimmer, Dean of Students, for interested seniors. The Du Pont Company of Wil- mington, Delaware, has indicated that they would like to visit the Susquehanna Campus if enough students would be interested in having conferences. Du Pont is especially interested in Liberal Arts and Business Ad- ministration majors. There are many career opportunities in the company in such fields as adver- tising, accounting, insurance, etc. The opportunities are spread over Du Pont's main industrial operat- ing departments and the auxiliary departments. Students interested in being in- terviewed by Du Pont Company should notify Dr. Zimmer right after Spring Vacation. The State Civil Service Com- mission of Pennsylvania will hold its interview on the S.U. Campus on April 2. There are many employment opportunities such as in admin- istration, education, social wel- fare, and law enforcement. The commission claims such benefits as good salary, professional growth, and job security. Inter- ested students should arrange ap- pointments through Dr. Zimmer. The Big Day is fast approaching when Susquehanna University gets its first taste of Big Band Jazz. On Saturday, March 24, 1962, Maynard Ferguson will appear at Susquehanna in a concert to be held at the State School. Ferguson and his twelve-piece orchestra ap- pear through the auspices of the Student Council. Since early last year the Stu- dent Council has worked and planned on bringing a big name in the field of Jazz or Big Bands. Soon that day will become a reality. Tickets have been print- ed and sales which began slowly have started to increase. The Ferguson concert will be one of the big events of the month and will close out S.U.'s musical March. Ferguson's career has featured plenty of hard work with extreme- ly high musical standards. He was born in Canada and was con- sidered a child prodigy on the violin at the age of four. May- nard was nine years old when he began his study of trumpet. He was a bandleader at fifteen in an orchestra of men who were twice his age. He has played with such bands as those of Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet. Boyd Raeburn and Stan Kenton before he form- ed his current group. Maynard's heavy schedule in- cludes a daily two-hour practice period on his trumpet and a con- ditioning program of exercises and workouts. His tour and re- cording schedules put a great press on his time. He tries to spend all his leisure time with his family. Maynard and his wife. Flo, have three daughters. His favorite pastimes include the family dog. Rasheed, and a little mechanical work on his Jaguar. Student Council President, Walt Fox, has again urged all students (Continued on Page 5) RE Features Speakers Of Four Religions In Week's SCA Program The annual Religious Emphasis program, sponsored by the Stu- dent Christian Association, will be held Monday through Friday, April 9-13. This year's theme is entitled "What We Believe" and will feature four speakers of dif- ferent faiths. S.U. students will have the opportunity to hear rep- resentatives of the Catholic, Pro- testant, Quaker, and Mormon faiths. The speaker for each evening will give a presentation of his faith's major beliefs, the back- ground of these beliefs, and how these vary from other religions. Students will be able to question the speakers concerning the top- ics presented. Speaking for the Protestant faith will be the Rev- erend James M. Singer, pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, Bloomsburg, Penna. Pastor Sing- er, who will be remembered by S.U. students for his fine presen- tations on marriage during the 1959 Religious Emphasis series, will be here Thursday, April 12.

There were a number of times when Pat and I wondered if we would ever make it. Nights when there was enough copy for only five pages proved quite trying and often we wondered if it was all worth it. I am sorry Pat is not back from internship so that she could join with me in writing this last editorial. Her hard work and dedication over a four year period have done much to make the Crusader the fine newspaper we feel it is today. I think I can express her feelings as well as my own when I say that the Crusader has been one of our most rewarding experiences. To the old staff we can say nothing but a great big, "Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts." Sharon and Dottie have given their time and hard work in large measures. I am especially grateful to these two for their work in the last few weeks while Pat has been away. Special mention should also go to our proof readers and copy editors who have done the "little" jobs without which this paper could not have survived. Barb, Dottie, Jim, John, "Foxy," and Jane have all been wonderful to us. In the photographic line Mike Carr has really taken over and helped to fill the big gap created when we lost our "indispensable man," Bill Brandt. Joan Lawley has done a fine job for us in Women's Sports and there just aren't words to express my gratitude to Joe for his tre- mendous job as Men's Sports Editor. Ray Cragle filled a real tough job very well and initiated a position I hope will be expanded and really brought to the fore in future papers. The business staff under John Raab, Terry and Tom "spoke and wrote ads" real well. To the staff — the reporters and typists — again we are indebted for without their willingness to co-operate there could be no paper. Nostalgia, you say — pure sentimentality — sure! And why not? All these people played a part in helping us turn out an enjoyable paper. And, believe me, Pat and I appreciate every bit of their work and devotion. Finally a personal note of thanks to those people who have helped this editor whenever asked. To Shoe and Shucker for helping make the nightly ride to Sunbury a little more enjoyable. To my Roomie for his encouragement. But most of all to Phil. Without Phil this job would have been a lot tougher. His help, interest and inspiration have been invaluable to this editor when the going got a little rough. Pat and I have done our best to bring this campus a high quality newspaper. We have tried to "speak and write truth" and to continue the tradition of our predecessors. How well we have succeeded each reader will have to decide. To Joe we wish nothing but the best of luck. We feel that when his term is ended he too will be thankfull, as we are, for the opportunity to have contributed in some small way to the Susquehanna community. L.B. ■j Minors „ „„„„, "Come now, we can do bet- ter than thia— " Dear Editor; In the four years that I have been at S.U. there has been a cry that has been heard above the noise of all other protest — more student government! A few of our number have worked hard to help S.U. grow, and along with it the administration has in- trusted in us the privilege of .hav- ing a powerful student govern- ment. At times the Student Coun- cil and the Judiciary Boards, the two major links of student gov- ernment, have been criticized for not doing anything for the stu- dents or for not having enough power to accomplish the tasks which come before them. The Student Council, however, has worked hard to make our college life more pleasureable. The scheduling of Maynard Fer- guson is an excellent example. New student services have been added to the campus — a chance for students to express their opin- ions about campus problems. I ask, how many students have used this service — very few in- deed. It seems that all the critics do is condemn the Student Coun- cil. The Men's Judiciary Board has been invested with the power to review and hear cases involving the men students in the dormi- tories and other areas of the college. This Board has been very successful and holds the re- spect and backing of the admin- istration. It is evident, therefore, that Student government on our cam- pus has become a significant part of our college life. Our govern- ment has been intrusted with tasks that are of tremendous im- portance to our university. Those of us who realize what this means are deeply indebeted to our col- lege administration. The crux of the problem is this: Now that we have strong student government, let's strive to keep it. There are many students, too many indeed, who have done nothing but complain, even when authority placed in students' hands is used for everyone's good. It is high time that those students who go around condemning the policies of the student govern- ment, and slandering its repre- sentatives, snap out of their in- fantilism and work for a greater Susquehanna University and a more valuable college education. Robert W. Breitwieser To: Student Christian Associa- tion, Susquehanna University January 1962 Dear foster parents, How are you, dear foster par- ents? I write this letter to you very gladly. Fortunately, I passed the en- trance exam for middle school. There are many students regret- ting their failure with tears. I think my success owes much to your favour as well as I tried my best efforts. Dear parents, I hope you will be glad of my success on en- trance exam. We had a joyful Christmas day in this year. The superintendent of our home bought shoes and the sweater for me. I like the shoes very much and brush them care- fully after 1 put on. I kept them very preciously so that I could Campus Potpourri Having no particular axe to grind this week (the Tourel concert is after copy deadline so we can't comment there), we thought that a few general campus observations were in order. Have you noticed the efficiency of the "snow removal crew"? The walks have been cleared almost before the first flake hit the ground. Even more amaz- ing is the fact that the ice on the Snack Bar steps has been removed rather than wiring the door shut for a month. Looking from a four-year vantage point we would say the Univer- sity Library has made gigantic strides. The entire layout and general atmosphere is definitely a credit to Mr. Krahmer and his staff. It is our hope that the library budget will increase more than just a mere 25% this year. Three thousand dollars is only a "drop in the bucket" when it comes to buying books. Fortunately, some of the "right" people are concerned about making the library more than just ade- quate and the future looks bright. With the new courses already listed in the catalogue and an in- crease in the entrance standards planned, it would seem that the intellectual rating will increased steadily in the next years. Many of this year's seniors have already found themselves in the top 1/5th of contestants in national tests like the Graduate Record and Law Boards. In fact we understand that the current junior class scored higher in its Grad. Record tests last year than did the seniors of an- other area college. In concluding this potpourri of campus observations we must again offer a word of praise to the Artist Series committee. With the per- formance of Jennie Tourel on Monday and the final event of the series, the Julliard String Quartet, we can say that this year's series was an unqualified success. The array and variety of talent displayed was quite impressive. With the concert at the State School the seating problem was solved and the way for even bigger and better Artist Series cleared. As a matter of fact last weekend provided not only musical variety but added a football scrimmage for the sports fans. The growth and progress of Susquehanna is evident. Expansion in all fields constantly helps make the school a finer educational in- stitution. Yet, we feel compelled to post a danger sign. Let us not lose sight of the real goals of education. A well-rounded college is a credit to all its members but everything must be kept in its proper perspective. The average person who seeks only an education deserves as many rights as any other member of the University. We are, after all, primarily concerned with education and nothing should be placed ahead of that basic function. L.B.

Students by James Thomas Parks RELIGION, LIFE, MISSION, SLEDDING, DRAMA,' POOL: These are some of the words that are still echoing through the ears of the eleven students who represented the Susquehanna Student Christian Association at the Lutheran Student Association Conference held at the Inn at Buck Hill Falls, Pa., Friday through Sunday, March 2-4. The students who attended were: Lois Bonsall, Carol Cairns, Don Cornelius, Marion Houser, Sue Houseworth, Blairanne Hoov- er, Pat Estep, Joan Lare, James ?torton, James Parks, and Pat Taylor. On the first day of the ronference, there was a dramatic presentation of the play "The Un- leashing of Lions" by Jerome Nilssen. The play, directed by Rev. William Hershey, campus pastor for the Metropolitan Phil- adelphia area, is essentially a story of people in search of freedom, and perhaps it could be the story of the inhabitants of every and any age in the time of man. After vespers Friday evening, the students from S.U., along with students from Muhlenburg and Gettysburg Colleges, went for their annual stroll through Jen- kins Woods down to the Falls. Saturday was filled with inter- esting and inspiring lectures and discussion groups which centered around the theme: "The Life and Mission of the Church in North America." These lectures were j, T iven by the conference leaders, Dr. Peter Berger, Associate Pro- fessor at Hartford Seminary Foundation; Dr. Robert Borne- mann, Associate Professor of Old Testament at the Lutheran The- ological Seminary in Philadel- phia; and Dr. Gabriel Vahanian, Associate Professor at Syracuse University. The students used the two hours of free time on Saturday afternoon to take in a little sledding. This is where the fun part of the conference comes in, especially with the run-away sleds and the hit-run sledders. After Vespers and preparation for Holy Communion, the students returned to their rooms, weary after the day's events. The next morning, those in at- tendance arose bright and early for another address by Dr. Va- hanian, which was followed after- wards by the most inspiring part of the conference, the service of Holy Communion. It is a truly impressive scene to see 500 stu- dents from different colleges and universities gather and receive the Sacrament of the Altar. After the service, the students from S.U. returned to campus, a little weary but with a better under- standing of the "Life and Mission of the Church in North America." Reverend Lawrence M. Reese Addresses Pre-Theo Meeting Changing the image of the Church in life today is one of the aims of the long-range Christian education program. This was brought out by the Reverend Lawrence M. Reese, a member of the Department- Field Division of the Board of Parish Education, United Lutheran Church of America, Philadelphia. Pastor Reese spoke at the meeting of the Pre-Theological Association March 8, 1962 in Bogar Hall before a questioning group of students. This new program has had a long period of research behind it. It was developed by representa- tives of not only the ULCA but representatives of all the Synods of the Lutheran church to merge in the near future. Not only is his program backed by research, but it has been planned by the co-operation of phychologists and educators with theologians. The Presbyterian and Episcopalian > hurches have also contributed ideas to the new program. Involvement of the individual it all points in his religious edu- ation has been evaluated. Psy- chologists and educators have prepared the material according to the age level of the individual with a child development guide to parents. For the adult, in- formal discussion groups grap- pling with everyday social prob- lems are in the process of ex- perimentation. Training of pastors, teachers, and other lay women and men is greatly stressed, noted Pastor Heese, in the long-range program. It is long-range because it in- volves the individual at every pe- riod of life without presenting the same material to the college stu- dent as in high school or as he will have it as a middle-aged adult. Six thousand seminary pro- fessors are being trained in using this material; key pastors will be trained; they, in turn, will teach other pastors, Church council- men and Directors of Christian Education. Then the teachers in Weekday Church Schools and Va- cation Church Schools will be taught the religious and Biblical material as well as how they may better understand the individual whom they are teaching. Testing of this program through scientific research is now in prog- ress. In one Church it was found that the "Sunday" School could be carried out better on a week- day, so this is being done. The association, "Sunday School," will no longer be needed, because religious education will be oc- curring at this same time, as an arm of the Church, not under a separately organized body. As life today is dealt with — not con- demned — by the Church, the image of the Church is being changed. Through this program the Senior High student will deal, for example, with love, sex, and marriage, and the adult with la- bor relations problems — all in light of the relevance of the Christian Gospel to the individ- ual's life experiences. The Susquehanna University Band provided a fine afternoon of entertainment last Sunday in the an- nual Spring concert. Susquehanna Band Presents Annual Spring Concert To Receptive Crowd On Sunday, March 11, Mr. James B. Steffy and the Susquehanna University Symphonic Band present- ed their annual concert in the well-filled auditorium of the Selinsgrove State School. The audience was chiefly composed of faculty, parents, and townspeople, an indication that the Band's popularity is wide- GOOD LUCK TO THE BASEBALL SQUAD ON THE SEVEN GAME SOUTHERN SWING spread. The program began with the William Byrd Suite freely tran- scribed by Gordon Jacobs. This was a suite of six numbers orig- inally written by a 16th Century composer to be played at the key- board; thus both the transcription and the band's interpretation had to be quite free. The group, how- ever, maintained the mood and texture of Byrd's music very well. The polyphony, which can be overdone by an instrumental group, was kept light and uncom- plicated, while the chromaticism and surprisingly modern harmony showed to good advantage. The first two of the six, a march and a pavanne, had a stately dignity which allowed the band to be- come co-ordinated, a difficult thing at the start of a concert. The next three, folk songs, were characterized by sprightly melo- dies, use of the brass and wood- winds, and, in the last of the trio, dancelike rhythms. The final number of the suite was entitled, "The Bells," and truly gave the effect of a city full of bells. Here the group had a little difficulty with certain exposed solo pas- sages, but this was resolved be- fore the impressive, ringing end. Second on the program was Johann Hummel's Trumpet Con- certo, Judith Blee, soloist. Miss Blee was supported by a small woodwind section of the band, plus a few brasses and the tym- pani. Her trumpet playing could certainly be considered virtuosity with its clarity and beauty of tone, and its agility in trills and runs. In the Andante movement especially, Judy had a smooth- flowing, expressive melody line. There were places where the band was not as accurate as she. but the final movement was well worked out. This writer was im- pressed in particular by Miss Blee's control of rhythm and the breath support necessary for the trills and long running passages of the Rondo. The concert was one of the final campus appear- ances for this talented girl who is now a Senior in the field of Music Education and well-known for her abilities as an organist and pianist as well as a cornetist. The full band then returned to play Album Leaf, a quieter, more flowing number by Richard Wag- ner. Once again Judy Blee was the trumpet soloist, and had no difficulty distinguishing herself above the entire band. This num- ber called for a more mellow tone from all concerned. The final piece of the first half was Gustav Hoist's Moorside March. After a flamboyant beginning which con- tained some of Hoist's unusual harmonic inventions, the march settled into the majesty typical of a British band. The ending was as impressive as the begin- ning with its martial air of brass- es and snare drums. Following the intermission Mr. Steffy directed his group in three Symphonic Songs for Band by an American composer, R. R. Ben- nett. The first, entitled "Seren- ade," had a steady beat with unusual syncopation and harmo- nies underlying a smooth and rich symphonic band sound. "Spirit- ual," the second, was portrayed with the oboe and other wood- winds playing a plaintive tune common to spirituals. In con- trast, the third number, "Cele- bration," was a joyful, noisy frol- ic, complete with automobile horns and bird calls. The disson- ances were skillfully employed, but the timing proved tricky to execute. In several of the small merry themes which entered from time to time, the woodwinds per- formed difficult series of running passages, giving the effect of hustle and bustle in the celebra- tion. Humor was introduced into the program by the wistful story of TUBBY the Tuba by George Kleinsinger. Thomas Donlan was the tuba soloist, portraying the sad little tuba who was envious of the gay tunes which the other or- chestra instruments played. Lynn Lerew was the narrator of this example of program music in which the band became back- ground music for the story, but an inseparable part of it. Four marches by John Philip Sousa were the finale to the pro- gram. The Symphonic Band adapted itself very well to the sound and spirit of Sousa's music. The program pointed out that the march is a form of dance, and the uplifting effect which the march has on the spirits makes it a good choice for a final num- ber. There was no blare from the brass section, only full-bodied sonority. The final march was the well known and loved The Stars and Stripes Forever, a tax- ing one for the brasses and pic- colos. After a burst of applause from the audience, these two sec- tions formed a line at the front of the stage to give their full ef- fect, making the stage one solid mass of sound. The applause which brought Mr. James Steffy, conductor, out for several bows was well deserved, for he has the ability to hold the attention of all band members and direct their individual skill into a co-ordinat- ed ensemble. The Symphonic Band should go out on tour next week with the confidence of the entire school that they will repre- sent Susquehanna well. P.J.K. Lanthorn (Continued from Page 1) JAMES SUMMERS English.

The con- test marked the close of spring practice for the Crusaders and gave the players a chance to dis- play their individual improve- ment to the crowd. Vignone ran for another touch- down in the second half as he ran back the opening kickoff, but it was called back on a holding pen- alty. John Luscko, who played an outstanding game for the up- per-classmen, also had a touch- down run called back as a clip- ping penalty was called. The upper-classmen's biggest scoring threat occured late in the second half when they slowly splashed their way down the sog- gy field. Once inside the 10-yard line, however, they were unable to score. Led by guard Richie Caruso, the freshman forward wall managed to hold them for four plays. Then the freshmen got the ball and let the clock run out. Sam Metzger and "Zeke" Ze- linsky, the two freshmen quarter- backs, led their squad to victory with some fine play calling. John Rohlands played outstanding de- fensive ball for the upper-class- men. My Neighbors Tom McCarrick in action versus Hofstra. Crusader Hoopsters Conclude 15-5 Season; Mosier Excels by Joe Hatfield The Susquehanna University varsity basketball team recently com- pleted one of the finest seasons ever in the history of the school. Led by Head Coach John Barr, the Crusaders compiled a 15-5 record which was the winningest percentage ever posted by SU hoopsters. Individual laurels go to junior guard Clark Moiser, whose con- sistently outstanding performance led the team to its fine record. Averaging 28.3 points a game, Mosier rose to prominence as one of the country's top-ten small col- lege scorers. He also held the distinction of being selected to the weekly ECAC all-star team four times. During the season Mosier broke three university scoring records which had previously been held by Frank Romano, class of 1957. He set new marks with a career total of 1406 points, a season's total of 566 points, and a single game high of 47 points. He also led the Crusaders in the percent- age department, hitting on 57.7 percent of his field goals and 81.9 percent of his free throws. Captain Bill Moore led Susque- hanna in the rebounding depart- ment as he averaged 13.6 points per game. Jim Gallagher hauled down 192 rebounds during the season for an average of almost ten per game. He also hit for a 45.9 shooting percentage from the floor and 81.8 percent at the foul line. Tom McCarrick, 6-8 sophomore", pulled down 184 rebounds during the season and shot 52.5 from the floor. Joe Billig and "Duke" Schenck were the other Crusader mainstays who helped Susque- hanna along to their record sea- son. The Crusaders opened their season with a 75-60 loss to Tem- ple, then bounced back with a pair of wins over Western Mary- land by a 72-55 count and Rider with a 66-52 margin. Then Gettys- burg put a damper on things by handing SU a 70-60 setback. A 95-62 victory over Ursinus began a 5-game winning streak **. . . And now for the long- range forecast . . ." for Susquehanna, their longest of the season. Clark Mosier was outstanding in this game as he pumped in 47 points to set a school record. Then followed wins over Lebanon Valley, 67-62, Harpur. 55-50, Wilkes, 82-39, and Wagner, 81-71. Mosier hit for 44 points in the Wilkes contest. A 60-50 loss at the hands of Al- bright stopped the winning Cru- saders for a short time. Then followed four wins over Lycom- ing, 52-33, Hartwick, 81-63, Juni- ata, 86-35, and Dickinson, 126-75. In the Dickinson contest the Cru- saders scored 77 points in the second half. Susquehanna next met up with a fired-up Scranton team which upset them by a 95-90 count. Meeting Albright for the second time of the season, the Crusaders almost avenged their loss. With less than four minutes remaining in the game the score was tied, 47-47. Then the Lions scored a flurry of points to wrap up a 63-51 victory. Upset by this loss, Susquehan- na came back later in the week to stage their biggest basketball victory in three years when they downed Hofstra College, a team with an 18-3 season record, by the score of 70-60. The Crusad- ers finished their season with three more wins over Franklin SPORT TALK by JOE JOYCE Last week plans were unveiled in Los Angeles, California, for a series of testimonial dinners which will be held in each section of the country on the night of August 16 to pay tribute to famed football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, Sr. The "grand old man of football" will cele- brate his 100th birthday on that date, and the dinners will be held in major cities throughout the nation. Coach Stagg, as you know, spent a few years at Susquehanna help- ing his son A. A. Stagg Jr. with the coaching duties. We feel that Susquehanna University could contribute to making Coach Stagg's centennial year a happier one by renaming the football field in his honor. Since the Coach has devoted his entire life to the game of football, he would probably be more thrilled if a football field were named in his honor, than if a hundred banquets were held for him. If the people who have the power to do so, think it proper, this writer suggests that at one of the home games this fall University Field be renamed Amos Alonzo Stagg Field. What better way could you think of to pay tribute to a man who has given so much to the game of football? ***** ***** ***** Over in basketball circles, Susquehanna's high-scoring junior guard Clark Mosier received Honorable Mention when the Associated Press selected their Little Ail-American team. Two boys who performed against S.U. also received Little Ail- American honors. Tommy Pearsall, a guard from Albright, received Honorable Mention while Hofstra's Richie Swartz was named to the Little All-American second team. Hofstra College, the team that the Barrmen beat a few weeks ago by ten points, ended their season with a 23-3 record and was ranked as the number two small college team in the nation. Westminster, the team which handed the Crusaders their only home loss during the 1960-61 campaign, was named the best small college team in the country this season. ***** ***** ***** One of the reasons S.U. has been having success on the gridiron could be seen during the past week. Despite the horrid weather con- ditions, Coach Garrett and his assistants, Coaches Pittello, Windish, and Sekanovich, had been putting the Crusaders through full scale drills in preparation for the 1962 season which is still six months away. When you watch a team going through their paces in weather like we've had the last few weeks, it's easy to see that '62 should be an- other big year for the Crusaders. Although all of the squad members were battling for a starting posi- tion, one boy stands out above the rest in showing just how much he wants to play during the upcoming campaign. The boy is Tom Samuel who has displayed what it takes to make a good football player. A second-string center for the past two years, Samuel was shifted to guard during spring practice. During the past two weeks Samuel, in an effort to win that starting position, has been playing with a cast on his wrist which was broken during the first day of contact. With boys like this how can S.U. help but be a winner? ***** ***** ***** Belated birthday wishes go out to Crusader football and baseball captain John Luscko who was twenty-one last Saturday. Luscko will be leaving, along with the rest of the baseball squad, for points south tomorrow to play seven pre-season games. Talk in the locker room has it that John is a little down-hearted since he won't be able to spend his vacation with that cute blonde back in Mt. Ephriam, N.J. (Actually, we're joking. This writer could never picture Luscko selecting a blonde over a game of baseball.) My Neighbors It's Joke Time A prominent bibliophile prided himself on his extensive library. He had books on every conceiv- able subject, but LOVE in all its aspects was his particular col- lecting enthusiasm. One day, as he was about to board a plane, he spotted a book entitled How to Hug, in the airport bookstore. Though his plane had been call- ed, he was determined to have this collector's item. Pulling a handful of bills from his pocket, he hurriedly paid the salesgirl, grabbed the book and dashed for the plane. As he setled back in his seat to explore his $12.50 pur- chase, he discovered that he had bought the sixth volume of an encyclopedia set. "I just came in for an esti- mate, Doctor." and Marshall, 80-46, Upsala, 74- 69, and Elizabethtown, 102-75. The Barrmen have compiled a 32-11 record over the past two seasons and are expected to be even tougher next season since they will have the entire team back. They are rated a large threat for Northern College Divi- sion laurels in the Middle Atlan- tic Conference. MAYNARD WILL ARRIVE MARCH 24, 1962 We were relieved to find that nine months in the Navy hadn't changed our young son's stand- ards —they were as high as ever. In a recent letter he wrote: "I have a girl here. Her name is Rebecca, and she's very pretty and very nice." My wife frowned. "If she's such a nice girl," she demanded suspiciously, "why is her mother letting he- go out with a tailor?" ■■ ■ Arthur and Alice Nagle are seen in performance last Friday at Seibert Hall. The Nagles' duo-piano recital provided a fine musical experience for all those people present. Nagles Offer Fine Duo-Piano Program One of the most entertaining re- citals to be presented to the stu- dents of Susquehanna University this year was given Friday night by the Nagles, a duo-piano team. A variety of music typifying many musical periods began with the classical forms of "Sonata" by dementi and continued with the contemporary style of Rob- ert Evett in "Ricercare." Both pieces were performed and in- terpreted skillfully. The "Concerto Pathetique" by Liszt which followed overwhelm- ed the listener with its powerful passages of harmony. The audi- ence enthusiastically received this dynamic piece. "Four Duets for Two Claviers" by C. P. E. Bach and "Romance" by Rachmaninoff continued the program after intermission. These were executed with a fine skill. A fitting piece to end the pro- gram was "Scaramouche," a con- temporary piece by Milhaud. The syncopated rhythm found through- out the number delighted the audience. The ease with which the artists performed this suite made it the highlight of the eve- ning. For an encore, the Nagles played another contemporary piece about a befuddled dove who thought your heart was his home. Much appreciation was expressed to Sigma Alpha Iota for inviting the Nagles to the Susquehanna campus. WISH I'D Said That At a closed-door session con- ducted by a Congressional in- vestigating committee, it was de- termined that an influential Washington official had accepted $5000 to award a government con- tract to an industrial firm. In the course of events the man admit- ted he had also accepted $5000 from a competitive firm to award them the contract. "You say you received $5000 from company A to favor them?" the chairman asked. "Yes, sir, I did," the man ad- mitted. "And then you received $5000 from company B to favor them?" "Yes, sir, that's true." "And to whom did you finally award the contract?" Here the man raised his head and, with dignified sincerity, an- swered, "Sir, I awarded that con- tract according to the dictates of my conscience."— Gerald F. Lieb- erman, The Greatest Laughs of All Times (Doubleday) "If you say so," said the hus- band. "But there's one hitch. I can bring her on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but on Saturdays I play golf."— Leo Aikman in At- lanta Constitution A plow had cleared the road, but the snow it piled up had al- most buried a mailbox. When the carrier came along, all he could see was the top of the box and the flag sticking up. Deter- mined that nothing would stay him from his appointed rounds, he climbed out of his car and waded through drifts almost to his nose. With chilled hand he reached out, put down the flag and opened the box. He fished out a note and, leaning on a snow- bank, read: "Dear Mailman: If you cannot get to our box, leave the mail in the neighbor's box." — Roz Young in Dayton News The wife was moody, fitful and nervous. The husband did all he could to cheer her up, then took her to a psychiatrist. The psy- chiatrist asked the wife some questions about her state of un- happiness, studied the answers, then threw his arms around her and gave her an ardent kisa. After that the lady was- gay and sparkling. "You see?" said the psychiatrist. "That's all your wife needs. I suggest that she re- ceive the same treatment every Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day." We were celebrating the birth of a son to a friend of ours at Harvard Law School. Both he and his wife were from the Deep South and never stopped boasting of the virtues of being born and raised south of the Mason-Dixon line. As the cigars and drinks were being offered in their Bos- ton apartment, several friends teased the new father that his son was born a Yankee and could never be a true Southerner. The father frowned, thought a min- ute, then smiled and said, "Suh, jes 'cause the cat has kittens in the oven doesn't mean they're muffins." —Contributed by Bernice S. Duhl Director of Summer Service To Visit SU What type of summer work in- terests you? Would you be inter- ested in working in a large city at a settlement house? Or assist- ing the staff acting as "big broth- er" or "big sister" to children in a children's home? Perhaps you are interested in finding out more about our increasing population of Senior Citizens by assisting in a home for the aged. The work of visiting people in new com- munities as a rural or urban par- ish assistant and helping in vaca- tion church schools may be quite enlightening. You may be inter- ested in outdoor life at a camp or experience in working with the handicapped in hospitals or homes for the handicapped. Dr. Mildred Winston, Director of the Summer Service Program for college students, will be visit- ing on campus Monday and Tues- day, March 26 and 27 to talk with students interested in the Sum- mer Service Program or in Church occupations. Students de- siring to talk with her should in- form Dr. Zimmer. The United Lutheran Church sponsors an ori- entation conference for all stu- dents from colleges throughout the United States who are work- ing under the Summer Service Program. In any Summer Service agency, camp, hospital, or parish the stu- dent will learn much about the fields of social work — casework and group work — and religious education. The student gains valuable experience, possibly leading toward a career in these fields. He or she not only re- ceives this experience but has an opportunity to help others and to feel a personal part in human relations. Wednesday, March 14, 1962-THE CRUSADER-Page 5 Dr. Armstrong Holds Cheerleaders' Dinner A "Thank You" Dinner was tendered to members of the Cheerleading Squad by Dr. Thom- as F. Armstrong, Jr., Professor of Business Administration, on Tuesday evening, March 13th. The informal affair was held in the Wedgewood Room in Seibert Hall. The program preceded the din- ner. Each of the cheerleaders was awarded a Cymbidium Or- chid corsage from the Island of Hawaii. A corsage was presented to Sally Lockett, the sole remain- ing member of Susquehanna Uni- versity's marching majorettes still in college. Corsages also went to Miss Betsy McDowell and Miss Kay Cochran for their ac- tivity in coaching the several women's athletic teams. Dr. Catherine E. Steltz assisted in the presentations and received a corsage in recognition of her work this year as Dean of Wom- en. Following the meal Campus slides taken this academic year by Dr. Armstrong were shown. Patricia Goetz received a "Cer- tificate of Emancipation" to terminate the slave role she as- sumed last December 2nd. Those attending the dinner were: Dean Steltz, Miss McDow- ell, Miss Cochran, Bette Davis, Patricia Goetz, Sarah Lockett, Peggy Thoman, Maureen Curley, Pamela Yeager, Nancy Zook, Barbara Evans, Lynne Helriegel, and Philippa Hughes. \ 1 Tom Donlan appeared in the feature role of "Tubby the Tuba" at the University Band concert. The delightful number was one of the highlights of the concert. Theta Chi To Host Conference Of Regional Chapters, Mar. 31 On March 30 and 31, two hundred or more Theta Chi men from all over the Northeast will be visiting Susquehanna's campus, for this year it is Beta Omega's turn to hold the annual Region III Convention here at Susquehanna University. Executive Director George Chap- man, and the editor of the "Rat- tle of Theta Chi," George Stan- Lasher who will be the principle speaker of the evening. The purpose of such a Conven- tion is to bring all the chapters together, so that each chapter can see the functions of other chapters of other schools from different parts of the country. It is hoped that inter-chapter rela- tions will be cemented and that a rapport will be established be- tween the various chapters and also between the chapters and the National office. This is done usually by discussion between the brothers, and by workshops head- ed by Regional Supervisors and Representatives. After viewing the interest taken by all the chapters, Herb feels, along with the whole brotherhood, that this will be the best Theta Chi Region III Convention ever. Various chapters which will be represented are from the follow- ing schools: Bucknell, Lycoming, Gettysburg, Dickinson, NYU, Le- high, Lafayette, Wagner, Rider, Delaware, Maryland, Penn State, etc. The brothers of Beta Omega Chapter have been working dili- gently for months in preparation for this event under the leader- ship of Herb Yingling, Convention Chairman. A full schedule for Saturday has been worked out in- cluding lunch workshops, and a general business meeting. The day will be topped with a banquet and a dance Saturday evening, to be held in Sunbury at the Ameri- can Legion Hall. Walt Fox will be Master of Ceremonies and special guests will be Dr. Gus- tav Weber, Dr. Wilhelm Reuning, Dr. Albert Zimmer, and Dean Catherine Steltz. Also expected to be present are Theta Chi Na- tional President, Joseph D. Ross, Ferguson (Continued from Page 1) to support the concert so that similar events might occur in the future. TICKETS MAY BE PUR- CHASED FROM ANY COUNCIL MEMBER AND ARE ALSO ON SALE DAILY IN THE LOUNGE. "Since women began carry- ing those big purses, more and more homes are being built without attics." R. E. (Continued from Page 1) expected that lay representatives of each faith will be present at this time. Many students have expressed interest in a program of this theme, and the S.C.A. Religious Emphasis committee expects that many Susquehanna students will take advantage of the opportun- ity. This is the first year that the RE. program has been at- tempted in a concentrated week. Formerly it was extended over a four week period, one night each week. The committee felt that the new concentrated plan will give greater continuity to the program. Further information on the speakers and their topics will be available in the near future. GET FERGUSON TICKETS NOW - -• -. A Page 6-THE CRUSADER— Wednesday, March 14, 1962 THE GREEK VINE THETA CHI Theta Chi Fraternity is proud to announce its officers for the Academic year 1962-63. The men who will lead the "Big Red" this year are: Chuck Leathery, Pres- ident; Herb Yingling, Vice Pres- ident; Jim Skinner, Second Vice President; Don Bowes, Secretary; Jim Summers, Treasurer; Bill G e r k e n s, Assitant Treasurer; Tom Curtis, Social Chairman; Nate Ward, Sports Chairman; Dave Schumacher, Pledge Mar- shal; and George Kirchner, House Manager. In the words of ex- President Butler, "This is one of the finest slates of officers in fra- ternity history. Theta Chi can be justly proud of its selections." An informal party will break the strain of the "informal" test- ing period that has dominated the campus recently. Tom Curtis has said it will be an enjoyable eve- ning for all. In our last column we failed to include Jim Cool* baugh's name with the basketball squad. Jim was a co-captain of this year's team but was forced out of competition early in the season due to injury. As the Regional Convention draws nearer the activity at Theta Chi increases. President Leathery and Convention chair- man Yingling have hopes that this will be one of the finest con- ventions in recent years. LAMBDA CHI ALPHA The "Hobo Party" held at the house last Saturday night was its usual grand success. Every- one enjoyed himself, and we are looking forward to more Lambda Chi parties. Social chairman, Bill Jones, should be commended for a job well done. Recently appointed positions at the house are: John Rowlands, Sergeant at Arms; John Kind, House Manager; and Fred Haus- er, Assistant House Manager. Volleyball and softball are cur- rently on the minds of the broth- ers. There are high hopes that the "Bunders" will be able to re- peat their last year's accomplish- ments in these intramural sports. The entire brotherhood extends its best wishes to the baseball team on their trip down south over Spring Vacation. PHI MU DELTA Phi Mu Delta's pledge class have elected the following offi- cers: Art Bowen, president; Fred Unglaub, vice president; Henry Van Dine, secretary; Jeff Wat- son, treasurer; Jim Gibney, ser- geant-at-arms; and Carl Miller, chaplain. Mention is to be given to the PMD basketball team for its fine whirlwind finish and an almost tremendous season. Also in ath- letics, Athletic Director Ned Coates predicts he will pitch every game for the Orange and Black softball team this spring. Many thanks to the Phi Mu Delta dates who produced a great turn-about party a couple of Sat- urdays ago. The basement, how- ever, looked like hell. Phi Mu Delts on this year's varsity track and field team are Bill Pearson, Al Thomas, Skip O'Hara, and pledges Bob Winel gartner, Ron OehJert, Jeff Wat- son, Carl Miller. ALPHA DELTA PI Alpha Delta Pi was pleased to have its Province President, Mrs. H. G. Schmickley, visiting the campus on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. Schmickley spent a busy day conferring with the Chapter's officers and our new pledges. The Pledges proudly announce the officers of their Pledge Class as follows: Sheila McKenna, Pres- ident; Judy Rhodes, vice Pres- ident; Jane Campbell, Secretary; Adele Breese, Treasurer; and Linda Romig, Song Leader. Alpha Delta Pi's Neophytes are to be congratulated for their fine Ves- per Service given on March the fourth, and for the Lambda Mu Theta Epsilon Smoker which they gave for the pledges of the other sororities. Last Tuesday evening the Alpha Delta Pi's, along with Brothers from Lambda Chi and Phi Ep- silon performed in the sorority's annual variety show given for the State School. Thanks to every- one who helped make this a suc- cessful venture. Congratulations are offered to Sisters Linda Mack and Doris Pederson who were recently elected to Pi Gamma Mu Honor- ary Fraternity in the field of so- cial sciences. , Three cheers for Sister Peg Thoman who will be Captain of next year's Cheerleading Squad, and to Pat Goetz and Bette Davis for the fine job done heading the 1962 Cheerleading Squad. Congratulations also to Pledge Carol Bollinger and Sisters Judy Jantzer and Lynn Vekassy who have received parts in Susque- hanna's Shakespearean Festival production of The Merchant of Venice. PHI EPSILON On February 27. Phi Epsilon celebrated its first birthday as a fraternity on S.U.'s Campus. The Brothers wish to thank the Sisters of Kappa Delta and Alpha Delta Pi for their gifts in commemora- tion of Phi Epsilon's anniversary. Congratulations are to be ex- tended to Brother Harry Strine and Pledge Bill Andel who were elected respectively to the offices of treasurer and secretary of Nu Omega, affiliate of Alpha Phi Omega. The Phi Ep Brothers and their dates were lost in a "South Sea Island Paradise" last Saturday evening. Juicy pineapples, spher- ical coconuts, and tall, swaying palm trees provided the environ- ment of what was one of Phi Ep- silon's best parties this year. Ten of the Phi Eps attended the Tau Kappa Epsilon Conclave held in Philadelphia during the week- end of March third. The Brothers enjoyed themselves immensely and learned a great deal about their future national fraternity. ALPHA XI DELTA Gamma Kappa chapter wishes to thank all those students who helped make their Parcel Post Sale a success. Thanks is due especially to Sister Lynda Boyer, chairman of the project. Congratulations to the entire pledge class for their enjoyable party given for the pledges of Alpha Delta Pi. Kappa Delta, and S.A.I. Special thanks goes to So- cial Chairman Sharon Downs and her committee, Becky Myers, Sue Evans, and Linda Cole. KAPPA DELTA Seibert Faculty Lounge was transformed into a "Down on the Farm" scene when the KD Pledges presented their party for all sorority pledges. Barnyard animals made from balloons were given as favors, and the evening was ended with an honest-to- goodness, old-fashioned hoe-down! All-in-all the party was acclaim- ed a big success. Last week the pledges learned that it's a long distance from Seibert to the New Women's Dorm, as they performed their latest duty of signing in at the Sister's rooms and obtaining their autographs. Congratulations for a job well- done go to Sisters Marge Brandt and Peggy Sewell for their ex- pert handling of the Girls' Intra- mu-al Basketball Program. Kappa Delta would also like to commend the Women's Varsity basketball team for a well-played season and Sister Mary James and Pledge Pris Lambert for their participation in the sport. Kappa Delta's pledges' latest project is an Easter Egg sale. The peanut butter and cocoanut chocolate-covered eggs are 10 cents apiece and delicious. The pledges will be selling these can- dy eggs until Easter vacation. i/k Old 1mvi "An old timer is a fellow who remembers when folks rested on Sunday instead of Monday." Charge or Budget onn cJUaale Member American Gem Society J 434 MARKET ST. SUNBURY WHITE SOUND by Ray Cragle A short while back, we told you about the copy room. Another product of the campus newspaper is the roving reporter. He goes about asking questions: Roving Reporter: Do you believe that the United States should attack Russia? Nikki K.: I think that we should live according to the golden rule: We wish to wipe Russia from the face of the earth; therefore we should not resist being wiped from the face of the earth by the Russians. Roving Reporter: Do you believe that the United States should attack Russia? Karl M.: Definitely not! Roving Reporter: Do you believe in an honor system? Charles Van D.: I certainly do! And if there were such a system on campus, I would truly respect,it. I wouldn't cheat just because everybody else did. I don't believe in cheating, and if I do something I don't believe in — God, conscience, or the system of laws of society will certainly punish me. Yes sir! The system has my full support! Roving Reporter: Are you in favor of Earl Warren as Chief Justice? Clarence D.: It is indeed ridiculous that so much unmerited criti- cism should be directed toward Chief Justice Earl Warren, who is doing a noble job of defining true Constitutional principles against racial factions, who, claiming conservatism, would, if they could, change the Constitution and take from the citizens their democratic right of changing the governmental form according to popular opinion. I disagree with the illogic of Conservative Barry G. ; I am in favor of Earl Warren. After the information has been gathered, the roving reporter (who favors an immediate attack upon Russia, and who wishes to add sen- sationalism and prestige to his report) condenses, edits, and publishes his findings: Roving Reporter: Do you believe that the United States should attack Russia? Nikki K.: I think we should .... Karl M.: Definitely .... Roving Reporter: Do you believe in an honor system? Charles Van D. I don't believe in - God, conscience, or the sys- tem ....

RE THE CRUSADER of Susquehanna University WHO WILL BE THE U.M.O.C.? VOL. 3 — NO. 21 SELINSGROVE, PA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1962 Religious Emphasis Program To Discuss "What You Believe" A high point of the college year will give Susquehanna an oppor- tunity to hear from speakers of various beliefs, seldom expressed on campus. "What you believe" is the theme for RELIGIOUS^ EMPHA- SIS week April 9-12, 1962. The beliefs of the Mormon, Roman Cath- olic, Quaker and Protestant faiths will be discussed. Mormon college student missionaries, a Roman Catholic priest, a prominent Quaker leader and professor, and a Protestant pastor well-known to college students will be on campus to speak and answer student questions, as well as, listen to their comments. Monday through Thursday at 7:00 p.m. students, faculty, and friends will have an opportunity to hear each speaker in Steele 100 and to participate in informal discussion and refreshments. The choice of this theme by the Student Christian Association was in answer to many student re- quests that leaders in various re- ligious faiths be invited on cam- pus to speak and answer ques- tions. The SCA cabinet has ap- preciated the help of the mem- bers who have contributed their time and ideas on several com- mittees. Representing the Mormon faith Monday evening will be Elders Ned S. Brimley and Buddie Gar- ret. Both men are freshmen at Brigham Young University. Elder Ned Brimley is from Mesa, Ari- zona, and Elder Buddie Garret is from Utah. They are on their two-year missionary tour and are currently using Milton as their point of contact with the area. Tuesday, The Reverend Mr. McGinley of St. Patrick's Rec- tory, Carlisle, Penna., will pre- sent the major beliefs of the Ro- man Catholic faith, a first on this campus. Father McGinley, as well as the other speakers, will present not only the major be- liefs of the faith, but also the dis- tinctive beliefs which set it apart from other faiths, and the back- ground of these beliefs. Father McGinley was pastor of St. Pius X Church, Selinsgrove, prior to his acceptance of the Carlisle po- sition. Mr. Henry J. Cadbury, perhaps the foremost authority on Quak- erism, will present the views of the Quaker faith. As a retired professor of Harvard, Mr. Cad- bury will approach a college audi- ence in a most stimulating way. Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. the campus will have an opportunity to hear Mr. Cadbury and to ask him questions about the beliefs of the Quaker faith. The Reverend James Singer, Lutheran pastor of Bloomsburg, Penna., is well-known to college students in Central Pennsylvania. He is campus pastor at Blooms- burg, Pa., and he was Religious Emphasis speaker for the highly rated 1959 program on the sub- ject of marriage. Pastor Singer was the Susquehanna University Convocation speaker this year. Thursday evening the Protestant beliefs and ideas will be explored by those attending RE with Pas- tor Singer as the speaker. Stuff The Ballot Box For 'UMOC This Week Yes, this week you may meet up with an "ugly" man any- where on campus ... at the Con- servatory, in Bogar Hall, at Chapel, in Horton Dining Hall, in the Men's New Dorm, at the fraternity houses, on the steps of Seibert, at the tennis courts, in the Snack Bar, or peacefully basking in the warmth of the sun. At least five such specimens will be roaming at large, min- gling with Susquehanna students, from April 2nd to April 6th. Which one will you choose as UMOC (the Ugliest Man On Cam- pus): Ollie Andes, Phi Epsilon nominee; Dan Bevilacqua, ADPi nominee; Lynn Lerew, Theta Chi and AXiD nominee; Roland Mari- oni, Lambda Chi nominee; or Larry Skinner, KD nominee? Vote for the "ugly" man of your choice at G.A. Lounge between 9 and 4 every day this week till Friday, April 6th. Poll tax is one little penny for each vote. Stuffing the ballot boxes is perfectly legal. The "ugliest" man will be an- nounced on Saturday, April 7th, at a lounge dance to be held in his honor. All nominees will be admitted free, and the "ugliest" (Continued on Pago 5) Howard U. Professor Views Modern Poets PROF. STERLING BROWN Sterling A. Brown, contempo- rary poet, editor and professor of English at Howard University, Washington, D.C., will lecture on "Frost, Sandburg and Eliot as Modern Poets" on Thursday eve- ning, April 5. The lecture, which will be de- livered at 8:00 p.m. in Seibert Hall, is the second lecture in Sus- quehanna's spring series of three on the theme "Religion in Litera- ture." The lectures are being sponsored under a grant from the Lutheran Brotherhood Life In- surance Society of Minneapolis. Brown, who is a native of Wash- ington, D.C., and a graduate of Harvard University, held faculty Council Announces Susquehanna First The Student Council announces another "first" on campus in the form of three award-winning movies — "On The Waterfront" on April 6th, "Death of a Sales- man" on May 11th, and "Caine Mutiny" on May 18th at 7:30 p.m. in the Benjamin Apple Theatre. Students may purchase the ticket for these three presenta- tions for $1.00 Tickets will be on sale daily in the lounge during the afternoon and can be obtain- ed up until the evening of the first performance on Friday, April 6th. Tickets will be available for the two remaining performances at a later date. The Student Council planned this entertainment for the enjoy- ment of all "movie-lovers" on campus and hopes that the event will be well attended. USMC Selection Team Will Be In GA Friday The Marine Corps Aviation Of- ficer Selection Officer, Captain A. J. Kettering, will be on cam- pus April 6, 1962 to interview stu- dents for Marine flight training programs. The Aviation Officer Selection Team will be at Student Lounge, Susquehanna University, to provide information and inter- view applicants. Qualified seniors and graduates will attend a 10 week Officer Can- didate Course after graduation and then be commissioned. After commissioning they proceed di- rectly to Pensacola, Florida, and undergo 18 months of the finest flight training available, with full (Continued on Page 5, Column 2) positions at Virginia Seminary, Fisk University in Tennessee and Lincoln University in Missouri, before beginning his distinguished teaching career at Howard Uni- versity. His Howard association has been interrupted several times to enable him to take ad- vantage of Guggenheim fellow- ships and visiting professorships at Vassar College, the University of Minnesota, and the New School in New York. The distinguished speaker has served on Negro affairs for the Federal Writers' Project, and was a staff member of the now-famous Carnegie-Mydal Study of the Ne- gro. Besides holding the position of senior editor of "Negro Caravan" in 1941, Brown has also had the following books published: "Southern Negro," 1932, a volume of poetry; "The Negro in Ameri- can Fiction," 1938; and "Negro Poetry and Drama," 1938. As a poet, Brown is identified with what is termed the "racy, living speech of the Negro." For raw material he has drawn upon the experiences and impulses which in other times brought forth spirituals, blues, Negro folk epics and ballads. Brown's poems are conscious counterparts of these spontaneous folk expres- sions. Merchant of Venice Will Be Presented April 26 to May 5 Sally Schnure, Mary Jablonski, and John Pignatore shown re- hearsing for "THE MERCHANT OF VENICE." The Merchant of Venice, this year's 13th annual Shakespearean Festival production, will be presented to its audiences on the dates of April 26 to May 5 inclusive at 8:00 p.m. in Benjamin Apple Theatre, under the direction of Dr. Bruce L. Nary. This drama, presented previously in 1952, adds to the already successful list of Shakespearean plays produced by the Susquehanna Players. The year 1958 featured the famous Richard III; 1959, Julius Caesar; 1960, The Taming of the Shrew; and last year, the Susquehanna University Players presented one of the greatest of Shakespearean tragedies, Othello, The Moor of Venice. Walt Fox, well-known to the Susquehanna audiences for his previous roles in other Shape- spearean productions, will por- tray the role of the evil Shy lock, a rich Jew who bargains with Antonio, portrayed by Joe Per- filio, another well-known Susque- hanna performer. Other players in the cast include John Pignatore as Bassanio; John Graham, as the Prince of Morocco; and James Norton, the Prince of Ar- ragon, who all bid for the hand of the fair Portia, depicted by the double casting of Carol Bollinger and Mary Jablonski. Nerissia, portrayed by Pat Taylor and Sal- ly Schnure, is Portia's lady-in- waiting who attracts the eye of a friend of Bassanio, Gratiano, who is portrayed by Fred Dunkle- berger. Jessica, depicted by Lee Toconita and Judy Jantzer, is the beautiful Jewess who finds favor in the eyes of Lorenzo, the young Venetian Christian, who is play- ed by Jay Snyder. A touch of humor is added to the production by Roland Marionni and Jerry Waxman who portray the roles of Salerio and Launcelot, respec- tively. Concluding the list of charac- ters are Dick Rohland, The Duke; Chris Grude, Solanio; Harry Strine, Tubal; Robert Breitwies- ser. Old Gobbo; Robert Mancke, Balthassar; and Lynne Vekassy, the servant woman. Rehearsals for the productions well under way, the traditional Shakespearean Festival should once again prove very success- ful and entertaining. According to Dr. Nary, the Shakespearean productions are a laboratory for the theatre courses offered at the University. It is through the rehearsals and performances that the students receive additional instruction in various phases of the arts of the theatre. Educational theatre also gives all the students the oppor- tunity to see plays and to know theatre as a performing art. Dean A. Zimmer Announces Two Senior Job Interviews Dean Zimmer has announced two more job interviews that will be held in the future for members of the senior class. The Kearny Works of Western Electric Company will have a representative on campus on April 10. Interested seniors should make an appointment through Dean Zimmer's office as soon as possible. This organization has openings in assignments such as Industrial Relations, Personnel, Accounting and Computing, and Management Trainee. These po- sitions are considered to be stim- ulating and challenging to quali- fied Liberal Arts or Management graduates. The American Telephone and Telegraph Company is interested in visiting the Susquehanna Cam- pus and will do so as soon as enough students have registered with Dean Zimmer. A.T.&T. is especially interested in women to be Engineering Assistants in the Engineering Department, and Stall Assistants in the Accounting Department of computor pro- gramming. The company feels that students with majors in mathematics and science would have an aptitude for this field.

"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press." Taking this amendment as the basis for the policy of the Cru- saders, I, as the new editor, will continue to follow the policy initiated by Pat and Les when they were co-editors of your newspaper — "TO SPEAK AND WRITE TRUTH." The Crusader does not belong only to the administration, the fac- ulty, and the staff; it belongs to you — the students of Susquehanna University. Therefore, I, along with the newspaper staff, feel that it is my duty to bring to you a newspaper that is both informative and interesting. As with everything else, this statement concerning an interesting and informative newspaper is easier said than done. I expect that during my time as editor, the Crusader will be the object of criticism, both publicly and privately. In the past the college newspaper has been criticized, and it will continue to be so in the future. However, I ask one thing of you — make your criticism constructive. That way it will help both you and me. Back in 1874 Somerset Maugham said, "People ask for criticism, but they only want praise." However, this is not my stand. Your criticism will be considered important and will be thoroughly consid- ered — if it is constructive — because your feelings will play an im- portant part in making the Crusader a better newspaper for Susque- hanna. Pat and Les did a "great" job throughout the past year by bring- ing to the campus a newspaper that was both informative and interest- ing, using praise and criticism which they deemed necessary. Once again, in my attempt to follow the pattern established by Pat and Les, criticism and praise will be used when it is felt that a justification exists. As mentioned above, the Crusader belongs to everyone concerned with Susquehanna University, whether he is an administrator, faculty member, or student. Without taking sides with the factions involved, this writer will praise and criticize administration, faculty, and stu- dents — when it is justified. Let me emphasize one thing; the Crusader will not become what can be termed a "student gripe sheet." In the course of three years at Susquehanna one of the startling things I have noticed is that stu- dents are too quick to criticize the people governing the college without proper reason. These critics are also the same ones who are ready to criticize, but not ready to contribute something which will alleviate the situation or thing which they are censuring. During my tenure as editor of your college newspaper whatever is printed in the Crusader, whether it be news, sports, praise, or criti- cism, will serve two purposes — to make the Crusader a better news- paper, and to make Susquehanna a better college. Next year at this time I hope that I can look back and know that I, along with the outstanding staff I will be working with, have followed the policy. "TO SPEAK AND WRITE TRUTH." Speaking for the staff, the most I can say now is that we will try to do so. Joe "Boston Baked Beans if On Sunday, April 8th, at 7:30 in Seibert Hall the students and faculty ara invited to find out about Boston Baked Beans.

A steady stream of black smoke rose in the sky, and the sound of whistles could be heard in the distance; something was on fire. Yes, everyone, including several fire companies from the surround- ing area, rushed to the scene in Selinsgrove where a warehouse used for the storage of cardboard boxes was ablaze. Nature added her element too, for the wind was blowing flames which were endangering adjacent homes. Firemen were trying to confine the blaze to the warehouse, re- pairing hoses that were constant- ly breaking, and helping to re- move furniture from one home about 15 or 20 feet away from the fire. Neighbors and spectators were also aiding in removing furniture from the other homes in line of the fire. "This is possibly the biggest and most exciting thing that has happened in Selinsgrove since I've been here," was a comment from a freshman student at S.U. Other students were relieved to find it wasn't Coney Island on fire, while a few boys commented that they had forgotten their hot dogs and marshmallows. Although there were some laughs, most of the bystanders were concerned and offered as- sistance wherever possible. Dam- age was estimated at $85,000. Susquehanna students who helped should be commended along with the various fire departments. It could have been a lot worse. University Choir Presents Concert; Spring Tour Begins This is what it takes to produce a good concert; a view of a typical choir rehearsal. The time was Sunday evening, April 1st, and the place was Seibert Auditorium as the Susquehanna University Choir presented its annual Spring Concert.

He wrote this musical dish in 1950. The one responsible for the gyrations on the theatrical plank is Frances Alterman, who used to eat Boston Baked Beans every Saturday night, when she was a girl, never dreaming it was an opera instead of a dish.

The 1962 Spring Tour of the Susquehanna University Choir got off to an early morning start on Monday, April 2nd, as the group left campus at 7:00 a.m. and ar- rived in Philadelphia at 11:30 a.m. Monday afternoon was spent in the television studios of WFIL, one of the large TV networks of the city. The choir made a video- tape of a half hour of musicale selections including sacred an- thems and selections from the Broadway shows "Wildcat," "Gypsy," and "My Fair Lady." Following the taping, the choir went to St. John's Lutheran Church in Overbrook where they presented a concert of sacred music. The group also gave con- certs at Haverford High School, Temple Lutheran Church in Hav- ertown, Abington High School, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Camp Hill.
