2 LIBRARY STATE COLLEGE BOWUNQ OREEN, a VOL. XVIII. BOWLING GREEN STATE COLLEGE, OCTOBER 11, 1933 No. 4. THE PLIGHT OF EDUCATION At the meetng of the Natonal Educaton Assocaton on July 4, Professor Charles H. Judd of the Unversty of Chcago contended stoutly aganst current arguments for drastc curtalment of school budgets. He had seen publcty materal put out by a state chamber of commerce "explctly advocatng reducton of the school system to the bass of 1870." Representatves of ndustry, ncludng the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, once aggressvely actve n securng ncreased appropratons for educaton, to serve the ends of ndustry n vocatonal tranng, have now joned the ranks of the reductonsts. "The manufacturers sent to the conference offcal delegates who fought at every step for a reducton n expendtures n schools. These advocates of reducton represented the same people who n 1917 had been nsstent on an expanson of the school program." The schools, Professor Judd sad, must expose the real causes of ther own plght. "I am here to advocate," he sad, "that the schools begn, wth the sessons of next autumn, ta prepare lessons on taxaton and present these n vgorous form to the ctzens of the next generaton. I am n favor of such a reconstructon of the currculum, worked out cooperatvely by educators, that the Amercan people wll be compelled to talk at the dnner table wth ther chldren about taxes and legslators and tax-reduc- (Contnued on page 2, col. 2) o PHI SIGMA MU The Ph Sgma Mu, honorary muscal fraternty, wll hold ts annual formal dnner n honor of the Freshmen n the Musc Department, Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 7:00 p. m. at the Woman's club. Durng the course of the evenng's entertanment there wll be a specal speaker, vocal and nstrumental numbers, and later, games to be enjoyed by all. The faculty of the Musc Department and ther wves, and the alumn of the fraternty are cordally nvted. The Freshmen of the Musc Department were gven the Seashore Test of natve ablty n musc ths last week. Later they wll be gven the Kwalwasser-Dykema Test and the results of the two tests wll be compared. o Mss Marjore Sams, our talented young snger, presented some vocal selectons at the Ctzenshp meetng, Oct. 6. KRYL AND HIS BAND SCORE HIT AT COLLEGE Bohumr Kryl and hs band of 32-peces presented one of the most spectacular entertanments ever sponsored by the entertanment course of our college last Thursday evenng, October 5, n the Men's gym. The program was as follows: 1. Overture, "Flyng Dutchman" - - Wagner From Sute Symphonque, "Scheherazade" Rmsky-Korsakov (a) The Young Prnce and Prncess (b) The Story of the Kalendar 3. Ara from "La Tosca" Puccn Anna Ftzu 4. Hungaran Dance Brahms Intermsson 5. Cornet Solo, "Carneval de Vence" Kryl-H artmann Bohumr Kryl 6. Concert Waltz, "Venna Forest" -..Strauss Concerto for Panoforte No. I, E Flat Lszt Mare Kryl 8. "Caprcco Italen" Tchakowsk NATURAL DANCING CLASS If you have happened to see, durng the last week or so, an otherwse young and healthy looknu grl hobblng down the steps of the Ad. buldng lke a decrept, old woman, you wll be glad to learn the soluton of the mystery. That grl was, undoubtedly, a member of Mss Hartman's class n natural dancng whch meets on Wednesdays pnd Frdays n Gym A. Natural dancng has lttle n common wth ballroom dancng and although some of the grls have been dancng all summer, they fnd that they wll have to develop better muscles to go through the vgorous exercses Mss Hartman gves them. Just the same Mss Hartman tells us t s an unusually good class. Twenty healthy grls, thn, plump, and medum, go through the rhythmcal runnng, skppng, or walkng exercses wth pleasure. Some wear barefoot sandals; some wear no sandals at all. They are dressed now n short, sleeveless tuncs of pastel-colored slks, but those who saw them durng the frst week of classes found twenty grls prancng n ther bathng suts. The work so far conssts prncpally n rhythmcal exercses for the arms, trunk and legs, and tranng n followng the rhythm tempo, and phrasng of the musc. The dancng wll come later. The dancers may hobble after the frst few classes but at the end of the course we shall fnd them all as graceful as wood-nymphs. STUDENT CHURCH PREFERENCES Do students stll go to church? If they do not, at least the great majorty show a church preference. The College s releasng some statstcs ths week whch lsts the church afflatons of the students. The church denomnatons are lsted n order of ther sze. Men Women T'l Methodst Presbyteran Lutheran < Church of Chrst Unted Brethren Catholc Evangelcal Baptst Reformed Congregatonal Church of Chrst Scentst Epscopal Jewsh _ 13 4 Chrstan Unon Church of God 12 3 Mennonte 2 13 Defenseless Mennonte Federated Church Frends Church 112 Church of the Brethren Mssonary Church 112 Unon Church Preference Protestant Fath 7 18 No Preference Indcated Totals MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS All those at the game Saturday saw that the heartest supporters of the team were the band members. At present the band has a membershp of thrty-sx, an ncrease of sx over last year. Although Mr. Church has better and more materal ths year to work wth, he desres anyone nterested n the band to see hm as soon as possble. The orchestra s busy practcng also. There s a lack of oboe and bassoon players, so anyone playng these nstruments would be consdered a fnd by the organzaton. The nstruments themselves are furnshed. MEN'S^LJEETCLUB Thrty-four men have come put for Glee Club. Mr. Fauley thnks he has better prospects for the club ths year than ever before. The men have better voces and prove better readers of musc than ever before.

Emersonans durng ther sesson of parlamentary practce at ther meetng last Wednesday. The profound queston before the house w:.s: "That the week-end football game be held on Frday nght nstead of on Saturday afternoon." After lengthy debate and due consderaton of the "sut-case carters," who must go home on week-ends, the moton was fnally amended to read: "That week-end games be held on Monday afternoon." The debaters derved much beneft from ths dscusson. Howard Brathwate was called on several ponts of order by hs sharp neghbors, Dale Kellogg and Meltha Carter. The frequent varatons n the rule cf amendments mght have been dsconertng to one nexperenced n parlamentary law, but Charman Wlfred Ingalls presded wth pose and confdence. A mrth-provokng but benefcal sesson of ths type s held at every meetng of the Emerson Lterary Socety: "What tme s t when two Fords go down the road?" "I don't know." "Tn after tn." Wfe: "Dear, f you had t to do all over agan, would you stll marry me?" Husband: "I certanly would. You'll have to fnd a better excuse than that for startng an argument wth me." * >" THE CLA-ZEL FRI. and SAT., Oct Open 2:15 Sat. WILL ROGERS n "DR. BULL" SUN. and MON., Oct Open 2:15 Sun. "LADY FOR A DAY" AN ALL STAR CAST RATED 4 STARS BY LIBERTY PLIGHT OF EDUCATION (Contnued from page 1, col. 1) ton assocaton... "The teachers of ths country have a responsblty for the tranng of young people and for the protecton of the nterests of youth. There wll be some who wll say that the proposed program of cvc educaton s radcal. There wll be some who wll accuse teachers of seekng to serve selfsh nterest.s The answer to these charges s that no other organzed group s competent to represent youth. "I have confdence n parents, but they are not organzed for the protecton of the brthrghts of Amercan chldren. When they are aroused to a recognton of the fact that powerful groups are attemptng to reduce educaton to the status of 1870, they wll react wth vgor and wth ultmate effect, but at present parents are confused and ll-nformed. They do not understand the forces whch are tendng to break down the morale of young people. They have been made to understand the necessty of conservng the materal resources of the naton. They have not realzed the harm whch wll follow a neglect of human resources. I am glad to see the naton wllng to buld dams and plant trees. I am glad to see these laudable enterprses couple wth movements for relef of the materal dstress of famles. I make a plea for equally ntellgent attenton to the needs of Amercan young people. As the stuaton stands today, school sessons n all parts of the Unted States are beng reduced by weeks and months. Some communtes have closed ther schools altogether. Curtalment of opportunty s beng tolerated n ths, the rchest naton on the earth, at a tme when the cvlzatons of Europe are openng new schools and makng tranng at the hgher levels avalable as never before to the common people. In France federal appropratons are beng voted to make secondary schools free for the frst tme n the hstory of that country. In France free secondary educaton s a natonal poltcal ssue of the frst magntude. In the Unted States, where the free hgh school orgnated, selfsh, narrow-mnded leaders of publc polcy who have grossly msmanaged ther own affars prate about draggng the schools back to the status of If France were alone n the movement to enlarge educatonal opportuntes, we mght well be ashamed to be thnkng about retrenchment, but n Germany and England, where communty budgets are straned to the pont of despar, educatonal opportuntes are beng ncreased n number and scope because t s recognzed that educaton s the force whch wll save the future. Shall Amercan teachers be slent whle crass spolsmen shut the schools and ncompetent leaders blnd the people to the fact that the real dffculty s not n expanded opportuntes for knowledge but n taxng systems whch are nqutous and n governmental unts whch are so badly organzed that they destroy what ntellgence has laborously created?"

P. <$> <*> Food For Thought <$> «> For the more lberal-mnded porton of our student-body and faculty, we present ths column, Food For Thought. It s our purpose to brefly revew the current, lberal magazne lterature, but not so much to revew as to call attenton to outstandng partcles, artcles of partcular mert. We earnestly nvte the contrbutons and suggestons of nterested students and faculty members. The column wll appear at least fortnghtly, oftener f enough materal can be garnered or s contrbuted. We open our menu of ntellectual fare by presentng Scrbner's, whch has become a leadng journal of lberal thought. In the September ssue, the economst, Stuart Chase, presents an exposton of "Autarchy" or self-suffcent natonalsm towards whch he thnks the world s drftng. Ths artcle should especally nterest members of Dr. Kohl's Socal Scence classes. In the October number of the same magazne, probably the outstandng artcle s the anonymous, "Confessons of a College Teacher." We suggest that every student read ths thought-provokng presentaton of an ntellgent teacher's dffcultes. A regular feature of Scrbner's s the department, "Straws n the Wnd." Always worthwhle, ths secton n the October magazne s made especally mertorous by Lous Fscher's resume of world communsm today. Mr. Fscher ably shows that the Htler regme n Germany has postponed any world-wde revoluton by many years. Next on the bll-of-fare, we offer the Amercan Mercury, a lberal magazne of the frst water. The October number contans several worthy artcles. "The Impossblty of Educaton" by E. F. Orr, leads the lst and s hghly recommended. It should be read n conjuncton wth the "Confessons of a College Teacher". Also of an educatonal nature s Nelson Antrm Crawford's "Lady Cops n Cap and Gown." Ths should be of partcular nterest to Dean Sharp, as t treats of Deans of Women n Amercan colleges. (Contnued on page 4, col. 2)

Ths quartet s spendng two weeks at the local Chrstan Allance Tabernacle and were ntroduced by the Rev. Hallberg of that church. The program was devoted entrely to the sngng of such sprtuals as "My Father, Lead Me", "Look Away Unto Heaven", "Let That Lar Alcne", "Lttle Davd Play on Your Harp" and other smlar numbers. The melodes were pleasng and all numbers were characterzed by rhythm and freedom whch s so natural wth the colored race. The boys had a pleasng stage presence and won an enthusastc response from the students. W. A. A.

A. who attended the meetng, outlnes of the plans to be carred out n tenns, archery, hockey, volley-ball, soccer, hkng, and ndvdual sports were presented by the heads of the varous sports. Mss Shaw and Mss Hartman spoke, emphaszng the pont that grls should partcpate n sports for the sake of the sport; the W. A. A. ponts won n playng are secondary. The W. A. A. members also dscussed the proposal of a week-end at the cottage. When the busness of the meetng was fnshed, all the grls joned n sngng W. A. A. songs.

5 PAGE 4 FALCONS DEFEAT BLUFFTON19 TO 0 - m A much mproved Falcon team easly defeated the Bluffton Beavers here Saturday before a large and enthusastc crowd. The chargng Falcons kept the Beavers n ther own terrtory most of the tme and not once dd the Beavers threaten to score. The frst quarter was played on even bass wth the ball near mdfeld most of the tme. About the mddle of the second quarter tl\e Falcons blocked a Beaver punt n mdfeld. Two passes, Murray to Shupe and Shupe to Murray, followed by off tackle smashes by Lowell, placed the ball n scorng poston. Lowell plunged for the touchdown. Murray's drop-kck for the extra pont faled. The next score came quckly after. B. G. recovered a Bluffton fumble near the 30-yard lne. Lowell placed the ball n scorng poston and Murray made the score. A pass for the extra pont faled. The thrd quarter the Beavers came back fghtng but they couldn't get anywhere aganst the chargng Falcons. About the mddle of the fourth quarter Murray broke up a mdfeld struggle wth two long passes to Wallace whch placed the ball one foot from the Beaver goal lne. Murray plunged over for the last score and Shupe placed-kcked the extra pont. The outstandng player for Bluffton was Mllard Fretz, a veteran tackle. For Bowlng Green, Lowell, Wallace and Murray played exceptonally well whle the work of Schwartz, Shupe and Reed was good. Bowlng Green Bluffton Touchdowns Lowell, Murray; Pont after touchdown, Shupe.
