IS THIS TRUE? "In the last ten years the school sys-

tem has become a sink-hole for public moneys and the school houses of the land have been converted into mere playhouses, where the children are amused and entertained and permitted to do as they please, with no thought of intellectual discipline. Restoring sanity to the school system ought to be the first duty of legislature."—Extract from letter of Association for Retrenchment in Public Expenditures, Cleveland.

Redecoration of the Administration building recently completed. When one considers this the first for a building occupied since 1915 it is a credit for the builder, officials, and student body.

Evidently a spirit of appreciation for our fine buildings, furnishings, and equipment permeats the student body. This is most commendable and as more buildings and equipment are made avail- able let us make a greater effort to use them carefully.

CO-OPERATION This is the end of the first semester.

When you come to the end of these past eighteen weeks, stop and ask yourself this question, "What have I done for the college?" But you say, "What can I do for the College?" Ah, there is a question which can be answered. First let me ask you a few questions. Have you paid up for your key subscription?

Have you ever read the B. G. News? How many articles do you contribute to the News? How many days over due are your write-ups for the News? These are only a few of the many questions that could be asked. Do you cooperate The B. G. News is your paper. Students are continually asking. "When will the next issue of the News be out?" Whenever you produce the goods. We need jokes, personal items, writeups of organizat- ions which only you as a student body can give us. If you only realize it the News is the place to kick about, praise or speak your mind about anything and everything on the campus.

Students this is your paper. If you want it let's work for it.

The News box is at the head of the front stairs, by the P. O. window. Let's see the box overflowing. Let's have a real B. G. News. ^^90^

OUR LIBRARY

If a mechanic finds that an engine is being only fifty percent as efficient as it might be he tries to find out how conditions might be improved and how to get as nearly one hundred per cent ef- ficiency as possible.

One of our professors says, "The Library should be the most costly, best equipped and best managed building on the campus. We do practically all our studying from books."

Granting that this is true and proudly realizing that there is no library in this part of the state which has a better and very few which have so fine a building and equipment as we have, why should we not get as nearly one hundred per cent efficiency in the use of the Library as possible? During the daytime we are in the classroom. At night we may take one or two books home to study. Why not have a chance to use the many vo- lumes which are available if we can only study in the Library? How about the football players, the basketball player, the baseball player and the trackman? If he spends his time from

CHAPEL NOTES Tuesday morning Jan. 15, 1929 wit-

nessed one of the most interesting Chapel periods of the semester.

The address of the morning was giv- en by Rev. Holderman of the United Brethern Church. "Success" was his subject.

Rev. Holderman classified Success in three ways.

1. Fame. 2. Power. 3. Position. He used the illustration of the small

boy who found the key flower which enabled him to enter the room he had so long wanted to e iter. Upon going in he found an old man seated at a table piled high with gold and silver. The old man told the lad to take all he wanted. "But," he said, "Don't forget the best." The child filled his pockets and started to leave. Again the old man said "Take all you want but don't forget the best." The boy then gathered all he could hold into his arms and again started to leave. Once more the old man repeated, "Take all you want but don't forget the best." Unable to take any more with him the lad went out. The door closed be- hind him. Too late he remembered he hed left the key flower in the room and all his gold and silver was turned into dry leaves.

Just so we seek success in life but in seeking it we must not forget the Best.

JUNIOR ELECTION On the first Wednesday of school in

1929, the Juniors met in the auditor- ium and organized. Mr. Hissong called the meeting to order. Ancel Eddington was chosen to act as temporary chair- man and the election took place. Mr. Eddington was elected president and Kathryn Taber was elected vice presi- dent.. But when the votes for secretary treasurer were counted it was found that Mary Miller and Genevieve Storey had received an equal number of votes. A meting was called for Monday, Jan. 14, but not enough members of the class were present to settle the question.

Y. M. C. A. One of the most interesting meetings

held by the Y. M. C. A. during this col- lege year, was on Dec. 13. The topic for discussion was "How will a Christian gentleman conduct himself in his re- lation to ladies?

The topic was discussed under the following heads:

1. What is a courteous way of est- ablishing a friendly association with a girl?

2. Will a gentleman resort to petting or necking?

3. Will he take a girl on long night drives?

4. Will he permit questionable talk about his lady friends?

5. Should engagements or marriage be kept secret?

The discussion was unler the leader- ship of Professor Powell. Many very interesting facts were brought out dur- ing the meeting and everyone present derived some benefit from it.

On Thursday vening, Jan. 10, Dr. H. J. Powell addressed the Y. M. C. A., his topic being "The Social Evil." This talk was very instructive and was heard by the largest group of college men that have been present at any of our meet- ings so far this year. This increase in attendance shows that the men like the type of meeting that are being held. We want to have the kind of meetings that appeal to the most people. If you have any suggestions as to future meetings do not fail to let us hear about them.

Mr. Conklin, principal of the local High School, will be the speaker at the next meeting. Come out and hear him. It won't hurt you and may do your some good.

The gifts of Providence are more equally distributed than we are apt to think. Among the poor so litlte is en- joyed so much, and among the rich so much is enjoyed so little.

Mr. Tripp: "What happened to the girl you made love to in the canoe?"

Mr. Rozelle: "We fell out."

Around the World with Esther The following is a letter from Miss

Esther Crecelius who is now visiting the Hawaiian Islands on her cruise around the world. This letter was to have been read at the Erie County Club banquet which was held at Sandusky on Jan. 3 but it arrived a day too late. Miss Cre- celius is president of the Erie County Club.

December 22, 1928 Dear Members of Erie Co. Club:

To keep my promise I'll now sit in the lounge and write you while the Belgen- land plows its way through the Gulf of Mexico, into the Carribean Sea. It seems to have more of a throb and sway to night. There is quite a wind and white caps can be seen on all sides.

I know you are asking, "How does she like it?" It is wonderful. Of course, I have never experienced anything like it before. The Ohio Chamber of Com- merce is treating us royally. It seems that nearly every wish is granted before it can be uttered.

During the time that we are at sea there is something for us to do every minute, swimming, deck tennis, shuffle- board, golf, dancing, music, books and there are so many nice people to meet.

We visited Havanna yesterday. It seemed I had stepped into another world. The narrow streets and sidewalks with their open shops and Spanish speak- ing merchants, seemed almost unbelieve- able.

Mary Campbell and I, because we are special guests were taken by special auto to the Hotel Sevilla-Biltmore to meet Miss Cuba, Cuba's beauty. She and Mary placed a wreath on the Maine monument and we all staged a little act for the Fox movietone.

We saw so many places of interest, the Cathedral where Columbus's bones once rested, how the Cubans bury their dead, the old seawall, a cigar factory, the Student's monument and the stores.

This morning we went back to Hav- ana, to wander about in the shops. I was so amused at how the traffic police-

man stopped the traffic for us to cross the streets. No one seems to be much in a hurry.

I bought a Spanish doll and a school history of Cuba to begin my collection. Now I'll have to get one of the Univer- sity boys to read and translate several pages for me.

There are fifty boys who are travel- ing on this cruise with a Travel Study Course. I'd like to join them and take a subject or two. Talked with one of the professors last evening and he told me I might come into his modern Social Problems class. I certainly would like the credit and it would be a delightful way to get it.

Tonight, instead of having the dance in the Japanese Garden on E. Deck, it is up on A deck in the open. Can you imagine a dreamy waltz tuned with the splashing waves and then see the float- ing flags of different countries as de- coration, the gay, sparkling colored eve- ning dresses of the women and the black and white of the men's dress suits? Just think that happens every night.

I was telling Mary today that I could- n't see how I could come back and really get down to work after such a free life as this. We're regretting that the first week is over. It is going to pass too soon.

I wish you were all here in our din- ing room with the old B. G. colors floating. I believe I could trust Dr. Williams, not to order anything from the steward with the chain and keys.

A Happy New Year,

Esther

Chet—(taking his proofs back to the photographer): "Here sir, I want my pictures taken over. Honestly I look just like an ape on this proof."

Photographer: "Well sir, I'm sorry, but you should have considered that be- fore having your picture taken."

"You can always tell a freshman but you can't tell him much."

FIVE SISTERS

"Let's get acquainted" said the Five Sisters to their pledges at a recent meet- ing.

So the little dears clutch their note- books and pencils firmly in hand and wend their way through the halls in search of a Sister whom they approach timidly and ask in a trembling voice if she will sign their book.

A regular business meeting was held Nov. 20, in room 200. Several important matters were discussed after which the meeting adjourned.

On November 4, another meeting of equal importance was called to order in room 200. Items of interest to mem- bers were talked over and action taken.

TOLEDO CLUB

The old year was brought to a happy close for the Toledo Club by their an- nual luncheon, Monday January thirty first. This was held in Toledo at La- salle's French Room. There were several alumnae present and about thirty-five members. The favors were miniature Japanese fans, and places were marked by cards representing the ushering in of the New Year. After the luncheon the girls enjoyed a theatre party at the Vita-Temple.

SENIOR ELECTION

During the third week of December the Senior class met in the auditorium and elected officers for the class of 1929. Chester Ray was elected president, Arthur Kuder vice president and Ber- nice Immel, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Carmichael is acting as sponsor of the Senior class this year.

J> ARCHIVES ^BATING rQ On Wednfefftjay Evening, January 16,

ill occur tke sec&id round of debates with? members of .tme Ohio Debate Con-

ference. On that occasion, Otterbein

College negative team will meet the

Bowling Green affirmative team in a dis- cussion of the Jury System.

This debate will be of particular in-

terest inasmuch as it will be conducted differently from an ordinary debate. The

Oregon system will be used. This sys-

tem takes much less time, and is much more interesting. The discussion will be presided over by a Judge, and a Jury will render a decision. Debaters will act as attorneys for the affirmative and the negative, as witnesses, and as rebuttal attorneys, or pleaders.

The debate is free to students, fac- ulty and townspeople alike, and it is hoped that many will listen to the var- ious speakers. The speakers for Bowling Green will be: Leonard Linsenmayer, Clyde Van Tassel and Lewis Monhart.

On Thursday evening, the Bowling Green negative team will debate Denison University, at Granville, and on Friday evening, Otterbein, at Westerville. So far this season, Bowling Green has won two debates and lost one. Members of th negative team are: Robert Tripp, Howard Russell, Howard George and Lester Hanna.

In February, after the New semester opens, Bowling Green will meet Case School of Applied Science in a dual de- bate.

Happiness is the feeling that we ex- perience when we ara too busy to be miserable.

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

If we are ever in doubt what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what shall we wish on the morrow we had done.

WHAT IS THE "JINX?" Black cats are fore runners of bad

luck! So goes the old superstition. The so-called woman hater says women are the "Jinx."

Just what is the "Jinx" in our basket ball team? This is the question occupy- ing the minds of the Bee Gee fans. The fact that we are unaccustomed to los- ing accounts for our bewilderment. Here is the answer.

There is no "Jinx." Those who re- call the basket ball of 1927-28 will re- member how the Falcons lost a half dozen games at the start of the season but by the end of the season had de- veloped into a first class quintet.

As yet we have not engaged in a Con- ference game. The purpose of these preliminary games is to whip our team into shape. The fact that we are sche- duling clever teams does not hinder the benefits derived. In fact, the team at present appears superior to the one a year ago at this time and no doubt the Orange and Brown upon entering the Conference will emerge from their los- ing streak and again register a list of victories for Bee Gee.

BALDWIN-WALLACE GAME The Falcons won their first basket ball

game of the season for 1928-29 by de- feating Baldwin-Wallace on Bee Gee's own floor by a score of 22-18.

Several new men participated in this engagement and demonstrated their worthiness of a berth on the team.

With the old material back plus a wealth of new material, Coach Landis will have a well rounded out team before entering the conference.

The student body gave rising cheers as the Orange and Brown came on the floor and their presence was made known frequently during the game.

WITTENBERG GAME Despite Bowling Green's decided im-

provement in floor work, the College was forced to bow to Wittenberg 28-40.

Although Wittenberg was more sea- soned than our boys up to date, they found the Orange and Brown a very troublesome opponent and not until near the close of the game could they find any satisfaction in stalling.

BOWLING GREEN—WESTERN RESERVE

The anxiety entertained on the so- journ to Cleveland January 8, by the Falcons was sacrificied for hilarity as soon as they realized that they defeat- ed Western Reserve.

Coach Landis and the boys were de- termined to win despite the concession of victory to Capitol University the previous night. Reserve's game was hard and fast from the very beginning. The Falcons found their stride and in no time had six points secured while Reserve was struggling to attempt their first shot.

Wtih the best success this season of the coach's offensive plays our fellows rapidly registered their shots. Price played the cleverest and most consistent game that we know of him ever play- ing. Yawberg was always a worry to his man, loosing him and breaking free- ly. Filiere was busy around the basket, no doubt he made the Reserve boys shud- der every time he shot. Jump, at cen-

ter, with his insight for maneuvers con- stantly fought and helped make it large- ly an offensive game for the Falcons. Swearingen had the fastest man to guard that Reserve possessed, but with his characteristic speed and fight no slick- ers were pulled on him. Thompson was sent in to relieve Yawberg in the first half. In the second Thourout, for a while, showed them what he could do. Fish went in for Johnnie Swearingen to take care of Berkowitz.

Of course they returned Wednesday morning in the very best of spirits. The game was indeed a very strenuous one, especially after such a long trip. The training rules were not suspended, there- fore the boys retired to the hotel promptly after the game (?)

No player grumbled about the time devoted to basket ball after he had made that trip.

DR. BARRINGER'S TRIP During the holidays I drove to my

home in the Genesee Valley of Western New York. I found that the schools there, as here, had been badly hamper- ed by the prevalence of flu tho seem- ingly the disease is rather less an epi- demic than in the middle west.

As regards teacher training for rural schools, New York state appears to be placing new emphasis on observation and practice teaching. Even the so-called training classes, associated with high schools, include considerable system- atic visitation of schools and a limited period of classroom teaching. High school graduation is required for admis- sion to this professional work.

In New York the transformation of normal schools into teachers colleges continues. Buffalo Normal having be- come a State College, report has it that Genesee is* marked for a like advance- ment. At the same time the length of the course will be raised from three years to four years. Predictions of short- age of candidates, when, some four years the course was raised from two years duration to three, have not materializ- ed. New York has a surplus of teachers now and is resolved on further raising the standards.

PHYSICS LAB. NEWS A new laboratory course in Physics

b to be added to the curriculum the se- cond semester—the course to deal chiefly with the study of those minute carriers of electricity called ions.

About one half of the work will be the determination of the character- istics of radio tubes and their application to the modern radio receiver.

Another portion of the work will study a small instrument called the Photo-

electric cell and its very important ap- plication to radio, television and the talk- ing motion picture.

In order to properly present this work the Physics department has recently laid in a number of very valuable and up- to-date pieces of equipment.

True, one can do a good deal of work in vacant per- iods during the day but why not study as much as possible under the best of conditions?

DRAMA CLASS PLAY The drama class, directed by Miss

Rea McCain, presented Bernard Shaw's "St Joan" in the College auditorium, Tuesday evening, January 15.

A large crowd assembled there to witness the performance.

Miss Stone, playing Saint Joan prov- ed a very charming heroine. Just a peasant girl was she but so filled with the love of her country and determin- ation that she led the army to victory at Orleans. With this victory come a greater determination to take Paris and in this battle she was taken prisoner and doomed to be burned at the stake. The Church rejected her bcause she wore men's clothing and did not care for a more domestic life.

The trial scene was quite effective. Joan was led in and persuaded to sign a paper in which she promised to give up her present life in order to be set free. Having signed the paper she was told that she was to be imprisoned for life. She could not endure this and so she resigned herself to be burned at the stake.

Her spirit, however, lives on in the hearts and lives of everyone.

The drama class showed remarkable talent in the production of this play and we wish to congratulate them upon this presentation.

BEE GEE NEWS 13

The Bee Gee News is offering the first of a series of articles by Prof. Pepe Popoges Nokopolopus. They will contain an honorable recognition of some campus illumwary who has dis- tinguished himself by performing some valuable service to the 'collitch.'

The honor falls, this time, upon Lester X. Hannah, our smiling, wise cracking, baggy trousered, cheer yelling debator.

All those who were present at the Bee Gee - Oxford U. confab will re- member that it was Lems crazy antics that led the gentleman from Oxford to say that we no longer had prohibition over here in America.

LesTtfts "TRACK TiMf IVA; UOWEIJ.

TJ+ANJ ^ SWW<£5 "TDK/SI*.

But that is just why Oxford lost the debate. The Britishers should never have made a crack like that before our temperant audience that went 20 to 1 for Hoover.

Of course (confidentially) prohibition is all the bunk. But you can't tell that to a crowd of people that has never been

to Detroit or at a big convention if you expect to hold their sympathy. Their pride was hurt.

Hannah provoked that statement by the English opponents and the audience retaliated with a stinging verdict that made them think they were in Chicago with "Big Bill" as Judge.

By this strategic act Mr. Hannah has been awarded this coveted recognition.

Three may be a crowd but if you take two away what's the use of the third sticking around any longer.

We recently heared a Senior who was practice teaching remark, "I guess I'll give them a test today. I haven't stud- ied my lesson." Now we know why we've been handed so many tests lately.

Of course he didn't know that Lem acted that way all the time.

An old lady walked into the judge's office. "Are you the judge of repor- bates," she asked.

"I am the probate judge," his honor answered with a smile.

"Well, that's it, I expect," answered the old lady. "You see," she went on confidentially, "my husband died de- tested and left several little infidels, and I want to be their excutioner."

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPT.

The Department has acquired equip- ment for two fine new sports—Indoor

or Paddle Tennis and Outdoor Archery. Paddle Tennis is played with a short

handled woolen paddle and sporge rub- ber balls, on a court one fourth the size of the outdoor court and with a low net Otherwise the game is identical with outdoor tennis except that the skills are more easily acquired. A court has been laid out on the floor of the Train- ing School Gym and if open to the use of women students whenever the room is free. Apply to the Physical Education office for information.

At last the much hoped for Archery equipment is stowed away in the supply room awaiting the first bright days of Spring. Two big brightly colored tar- gets, 10 bows and plenty of arrows, when put into use on our campus should make a decorative picture, especially when the Archers have learned to send the ar- row from 50 yards straight into the bullseye.

CHAPEL MANNERS

Good manners should be fairly well established in young people of college age. Judging however, from some things

observed during our chapel hours, they have either never been established or they have been temporarily forgotten.

Anyone not interested in the chapel exercises should at least be courteous enough to keep quiet so that those who are interested may enjoy it. Constant wriggling in ones seat and constant whispering is very annoying to those about you as well as to the speaker.

Then too, be courteous enough to re- main quiet in your seat until the speak- er has finished his address. Gathering up books, putting on coats, and powder- ing noses can be put off for a few min- utes. Observing these little courtesies would surely make it much easier for speakers who come to our chapel plat- form.

Let's co-operate and try to show bet- ter manners during our chapel hour.

ERIE COUNTY CLUB The Erie County Club of B. G. S. N. C.

held its annual banquet, Jan. 3, in San- dusky. To this banquet all former stud- ents of Bowling Green College and re- sidents of Erie County are invited. Be- sides these and the members of the club still going to school, there are al- ways a few particularly invited guests. This year the club was proud to have at its banquet, Dr. Williams, president of the college. Mr. Prout, superintendent of the Sandusky schools, and Mr. Pierce superintendent of the Erie County schools. These gentlemen all gave very interesting after dinner talks, and con- tributed to the general good spirits of the gathering.

Dr. Williams told the old students of the many changes taking place at the college. Mr. Pierce spoke highly of the teachers our college turns out. Then came the grand finale when Mr. Prout, talking from experience, told in what a really remarkable president we had.

The club, too, added to the program. Miss Thelma Snider gave a talk and Miss Olive Lutz gave a violin selection.

With this pleasing program and the tasty chicken dinner, everyone left pleased with having met old acquain- tances and pleased with having spent such a profitable evening.
