Emerson Literary
Society
"When Witches Walk" was the subject
of the Emerson Literary Society meeting,
Wednesday night, Oct. 28. The mesting was
called to order by Mr. Ingali and after the
regular business in trooped several witcher;
who then took charge of the meeting.
A piano solo by Christina King put u;;
in the spooky mood and then a witch frcm
Germany, Mildred Klofenstein, entertained us with a humorous account of witchcraft in Europe. A witch from New England, Martha Fields, told of interesting episodes of her native territory. Witchcraft of
1931 was portrayed by the modern witch,
Lenna Conklin. A spooky atmosphere now
prevailed and two readings "When The
Folks Are Gone" and "Little Orphan Annie" both by Riley, were given by Miss D.
Huber. Following roll call the meeting was
adjourned.
Hallowe'en Dance
The Las Amigas sorority sponsored the
Hallowe'en Dance held at the Men's Gym,
Oct. 24. With the arrival of cornshocks,
pumpkins, cats, witches and confetti, the
Gym took on a mysterious Hallowe'en air.
A large proportion of the dancers were in
masquerade. Dr. Zaugg presented the most
attractive girl and the most attractive fellow with gifts. The snappy orchestra contributed greatiy toward making the dance
a howling success. Cider and doughnuts
refreshed the pranksters.

arranged as follows:
The usual Homecoming Play is to be a
feature of the Tenth Annual Homecoming

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO
IN CARE OF B. G. S. C.
Wise and Otherwise
George Bernard Shaw, native Irishman
and adopted Englishman, spoke to America
via radio the other Sunday afternoon. Shaw
is a blunt, outspoken man, and said what
he pleased about America to her face (if
that's possible over the radio). You're a
big bunch of "boobs", he said in effect.
Three cheers, Mr. GBS. We hope you
feel better now that it is off your chest. If
it did you any good, that's fine. We have
our own men who are smart enough to see
the same thing. The present writer has often called the world in general "homo
boobiens" (after Hey wood Broun), and we
could think up worse names to fling in our
British friend's teeth.
Come to think of it, maybe we are "big
boobs"—for buying Shaw's books.
All this now out of our system, we might
repeat the much repeated and scarce repeatable question: "Did you ever read
Shaw?" No? You've missed many an hour's
good entertainment and solid thought. His
wit is scintillating and sometimes scathing.
;
"The Apple Cart", Shaw's latest play,
has .not yet come to our editorial hands,
but nearly all his former works have passed our review. Some of them have prefaces
which are longer than the plays themselves.
One is called "an essay in three acts".
Want to get one? A good beginning would
be "Man and Superman". Follow that with
"Mrs. Warren's Profession" (if you're not
too easily shocked) and then, to see the
other side of the man's mind, read "The
Dark Lady of the Sonnets." If there be any
student of Bowling Green College who can
run through these without turning over
seme gray matter, and incidentally laughing a good deal, he would better be with
pious inmates of a cloister.
Sophomores Hold Election
At a meeting of the Sophomore class
held Monday, October 26, the following officers were elected:
President, Ford Murray.
Vice-President, Dave Conyers.
Secretary, John Johnson.
Treasurer, F. Gottfried.
CRAIG
NEEDHAM
Above are the picture of the two Englishmen who will debate against Bowling
Green State College on Nov. 5. Stuart
Craig is a graduate of University College,
Nottingham, England. He was graduated
with Honors in 1930. During his college
days, he was very active in forensics. Mr.
Craig was prominent in Hockey, and also
represented his college in golf and rifle
shooting.
John Needham is frcm St. John's College, Durham University, England. He,
too, was graduated in 1930 with Honors.
He was very prominent en the campus in
athletics. He was captain of the rowing
team. He also played in football, Cricket,
and Hockey. He was outstanding in debate. Both of these men were very popular
in college, each one holding several student
offices. Beth of them have achieved recognition all over England for their work in
debate.
They will be with us on Thursday, Nov.
5, for a debato against a Bowling Green
team composed of Marguerite Covrette and
Leonard R. Linsenmayer, both of whom arc
members of the Pi Kappa Delta championship team of the Province of the Lakes.
The question is the Free Trade discussion.
The visitors, of course, will discuss it from
an English viewpoint. This, in itself, will
furnish an interesting debate.
Due to the fact that the local organization must pay a large fee to get such a
brilliant foreign debate team to ccme to
Bowling Green, a nominal admission charge
is required. These Englishmen, because cf
their record, their ability to debate, their
excellent British humor, and their fine
personalities, should attract a large crowd
of students to the debate. This will be the
first big event of Homecoming week. Come
and enjoy it.
Billy's Doings
Archery Tournament
Some of these Williams ladies go in for
golfing in a big way. Dot, Lee and Ossie
golfed last week-end and oh, the scores!
Busy? If not, ccme down and help us decorate for Homecoming. We need lots of
help.
What do you know? Grandma was given
a big birthday party Wednesday, October
28. Marguerite Bower presented her with
a steamer rug in behalf of the girls of the
dorm. (We didn't have a chance to count
the candles en the cake.)
Always show Grandma and Mrs. Bowen
your costumes, girls—otherwise you're apt
to bo called back. We speak from experience.
"To much vacation," sighs everyone as
he settles down to work with a grin.
The Women's Fall Achery Tournament
will be run off Saturday morning, Nov. 7.
It will begin at 8:30 a. m., and all entrants
are urged to be on time. Anyone who has
had archery lessons and experiences may
enter.
The winner will be determined by the
highest score for a Bee Gee Round, which
consists of 4 ends at 20 yards, 4 ends at
30 yards, and 4 ends at 40 yards. W. A. A.
points and other awards will be given to
the first ten high scores. There must be at
least ten entrants to start the tournament.
For further information see the Cork
Bulletin Board.
Head of Archery
Dr. Martin: Mr. Meyers, how do you account for the phenomenon of dew?"
Meyers: "Well, sir, the earth revolves
on its axis every 24 hours, and in consequence of the terrific pace, it perspires
freely."

On Reading
Never take time to read good books.
There is truth only in the best of them.
" 'What Is Truth?' asked jesting Pilate".
Without taking issue either with the Nazarene who would not answer Pilate's question, or with the lineage of philosophers
who have lived since, we might, imperfectly perhaps, define truth as that which one
experiences for himself. It might be ineffable and transient, but at least it would
be authoritative for oneself.
We contend herein that truth is contained in masterpieces of literature, and is
there more easily found than in life itself.
Living reality is too near us to be seen
clearly. It is like a campfire that blinds us
to the beauties of the evening sky. On the
other hand, the masters of years bygone,
have, by their genius, seen life "clearly and
whole". They have interpreted it for us in
their works.
On inquiring among students into their
acquaintance with English and American
classics, one is disappointed to find abysmal ignorance. Who would think of reading Hamlet after they had been given a
"B" in the Shakespeare course? Or who
would think of reading it even then if it
were not required? Even, the searcher finds
(and there has been a diligent search),
there is none who are "up" on the modern
novels and poetry.
Consider the joy of communing through
the printed page with Samuel Johnson,
Oliver Goldsmith, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and
the rest of that circle. Their thoughts run
through our minds, and stimulate our intellects. They impart that truth to us that
gives us authority and makes us free from
the opinions and theories of others.
But, complain some, it is impossible for
one to separate himself from the rush of
c )llege to adequately enjoy these things, but
such an argument seems to us an excuse
rither than a reason. Others contend that
looks make one a book worm, and that it
is better to know life. (By "life" they usually mean an insipid party). Perhaps
this is true if one is so blind that he can
see no more than a printed page. The lover
of books has not only sight but vision also.
Alone with a book, he can se ebeyond the
type; his environment fades and a new and
foreign but nevertheless friendly country
envelops him; a roving craft has borne
him lands away. Reality? What is more
real than the inner life, what William
James calls "the unseen"?
Herein lie possibilities of culture and
vicarious experiences that are "true" and
are essential to abundant life. How
far away is this from tinny orchestras
with their sensual music! Books, the best
of them, are not ends in themselves, but
they are glorious means to the end of a
full and complete life.
Knapp: Do you think you could learn
to love me?
Schallcr: I can, sweetheart, but the
tuition's going to be high.

ard a good time with plenty of entertainment is locked forward to.

The Five Sisters held an informal party
at the house en Tuesday, Oct. 26. Refreshments were served about 5:30 and dancing
and games followed.
The present pledges were given their
first degree Oct. 19, and the Second degree

our Alumni members during Homecoming
week.
To Sum It Up
The two controversial contributions to
the Bee Gee News a week or two ago points
to the confusion which still exists in the
minds of many college students as to the
real purpose of a college. Let us avoid the
purely theoretical and look at a few practical considerations.
It is obvious that to the mass of graduates, college training contributes to two
main purposes; namely, the improvement of
material living advantages and the development of personality. Ninety-nine out of
a hundred students have the ambition to
hold and even raise somewhat the standard
of living established in his parent's. He
has been driving a car, wearing good
clothes and spending a sufficient amount of
money to keep up with his set. If he has
not reached the "level" of his desires and
ambitions, he feels that college training is
a means by which he can more nearly reach
his goal. Then, too, the skill and development resulting from college work increases
his chances of employment and at the same
time gives him an insight into the cultural
value of the arts and sciences. He can be
reasonably sure that the future will hold
more material blessings for him if he
studies four years and secures a diploma.
Furthermore, the student is very sure
that a change of environment and a varied
daily thinking routine through several years
will give a unique development not to be
duplicated in any other way. The college
classroom, the party and the practice of
assuming responsibility away from home
are definite media for personality training. Ordinarily, if the student excels in his
class work he has at the same time built
well in the technique of his chosen profession. Likewise, continued practices in the
(Continued on page 5, column 2)

Business and more business! It seem;
that everyone is almost swamped with it
now. With Homecoming plans, prospective
ru3hees, sa'esman, etc., our heads are in a
whirl.
Our Homecoming Dinner will be held in
the private dining room at Fetzer's Grill
en Saturday evening. A large number o"
girls have sent in reservations for Homecoming Events, and such a variety of events—you rimply could not guess even in
your wildest dreams!

Ruth Carter Named

of the tenth annual Homecoming with a
large majority.
Defiance Smashes
Bee Gee 15 - 0
For the first time in seven years Bowling
Green lost a so-called football game to the
keyed-up Ycllowjackets. The Falcons looked like anything but the warriors of past
battles. Out fought, out charged, and completely outplayed, it just wasn't our day.
One would think it was game number thirteen from the results, for it-was the first
time to taste defeat in nineteen starts.
Breaks—Defiance got all of them too,
but there's no need of cryin' now. The only
thing to do is to come back against Findlay
and prove to the coaches and fans that
we're not the bunch of dubbs we looked
like last Saturday.
Willie Ault and Don Stevenson were
knocked out of the game, but we hope they
will be back with the old fight for Homecoming. Conkey was the inspiration of the
Defiance team and really looked like an
all conference back. Murray did the only
Bee Gee scoring, but that was a safety for
the Yellowjackets.
What do you say team? Let's show 'cm
seme real football from now on.

TO SUM IT UP
(Continued on page 4)
social graces and acceptance of responsibilities connected with membership in organizations tend to build up a winning and
confident personality.
Therefore, in reference to the abovementioned controversial article, why should
one say that a student is playing the part
of the foolish to strive for A's or that it is
a waste of time to go to a party? Experience shows that the one who has high
scholastic ability is chosen over the one of
less ability or of less driving power. In
practice the world chooses the skillful, and
the "A" student is often eligible to this
distinction. On the other hand, who does
not admire a personality well developed
and seasoned sufficiently to meet his superiors in a confident manner? Such a training can not be acquired by staying in one's
room with his Calculus or Shakespeare
only.
Therefore, it seems only sensible that
every student should make an honest effort
to excel in as many lines of endeavor as
possible. First of all, he should make good
grades. An "A" is not too high. Much of
his later success depends on whether or not
he knows his techniques. He should also
mix with his fellows and hold a balance to
his personality that it also may keep pace
with training in other lines. Students need
not chain themselves to their studies at the
exclusion of all other activity. The problem
is more a matter of division of time. Why
not consider the week, or month or semester as a unit and by close application gain
sufficien time on a set schedule to enter
some sort of recreation? The "A" student
needs social life and certainly the social
"fan" can stand the discipline which close
adherence to study hours afford. The "A"
student carries off the prize if an undeveloped personality does not prevent it and very
often the cultured and refined individual
is such because a highly developed social
consciousness is coupled with a serious, intellectual highmindedness. Why can we
not strive for both?
Home-Coming
(As Seen by Cal Coolie'^e, Special Correspondent for the B. G. News)
Homecoming is the time when former
students revisit their alma mater. By alma
mater I refer to the college which they attended. Sometimes these former students
are called alumni. Thus, this coming back
to the scene of their collegiate days by
alumni is known as Homecoming.
Homecoming is a very joyous time indeed. There is usually a dance and a football game during the homecoming period.
As a rule the football game is on Saturday
afternoon. Generally, the dance is held on
Saturday night. If, however, the president
of the college is opposed to Saturday night
dances, this function may be held on Friday
night instead. The football players enjoy
this latter plan greatly.
Of course, the alumni go to the football
game and "root" vigorously. This so-called
"rooting" is, no doubt, one of the chief
sources of pleasure to the alumnus and
undergraduate alike. Indeed, Homecoming
is a very joyous time.
Throughout the remainder of the day
acquaintanceships are renewed. This, in itself, is a joyous process. Then the dance
comes in the evening. The chemistry professor's keen, henest, hound-like nose insures complete sobriety on this occasion.
Banquets of the different organizations follow the dance. Here joy flows unrestrained. The festive board is well laden on these
occasions.
In conclusion, I can only say that Homecoming is, indeed, a very joyous time. And
God bless you all, youth of America.
