CARL SANDBURG Carl Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois of Swedish parentage. Early in life he was forced to make his own living, working first as a sceneshifter, as a truckhandler, a dish washer, and a harvest hand. In 1898, he served in the Spanish-American War. After his return from the war, he decided to obtain a better education. He entered the college in the town of his birth, distinguishing himself both as a basketball player and in his editorship of a college literary magazine. After his graduation, Sandburg became in turn an advertising manager, district organizer of the SocialDemocrat party of Wisconsin, salesman, and newspaperman. It was not until he was past thirty years old that Carl Sandburg became known as American poet. His first email book of poems, published in 1994, did not attract much attention. Ten years later he won recognition through a group of poems published in Mrs. Harriet Monroe's Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. In rapid succession he then gave us his Chicago Poems, Cornhuslcers, Smcke and Steel, and Slabs of the Sunburnt West. Soon after the latter his remarkable biography of Lincoln's Prairie Years appeared. Within this period he had also found time to write two Rootabaga books of tales for children. A few years ago Early Moon, a volume of his selected poems, was published. In private life he loves singing the American folk songs to the accompaniment of his guitar. He has collected a volume of these in The American Songbag. Carl Sandburg has written of an age and a people that he knows and understands. He has caught the tempo of cities, smoke and steel of factories, crowded streets, prairies, noise, machines, and jazz. Some people are shocked by his brutal directness and his lusty singing, but one must remember that the age of which he writes is a loud, noisy, rushing age. He looks deeply into the heart of present-day America and writes. —<»—«»— GIRLS OF T. U. TO VISIT B. G. FOR SPORT'S AFFAIR Members of the Women's Athletic Association of Bowling Green will be hostesses to girls from Toledo University, when members of the T. U. association visit Bowling Green, Friday, Nov. 24, for an afternoon of sports. Hockey, soccer and volley ball games are planned to last until 6:00 p. m. in the evening. The hour from 3:00 to 4:00 is to be set off for registration. Supper for the T. U. girls will be served after 6:00 in the Women's gym.

TO THE EDITOR, FOR IRONICUS JUST A MINUTE, IRONICUS Far be it from my intentions to stage a word-combat with reincarnated Ironicus. I simply wish to express my regret that there are so many manifestations of the sort of distortion that afflicts him. Obviously, he has a good brain, an above average I. Q., and a fortunate appreciation of values. But whv must be think that, because he has (probably recently) experienced an "intellectual sunrise," he is the only one who has had this awakening! There are many people—on our campus and elsewhere—who have this same feeling. Only recently awakened, and with vision still somewhat obstructed by the shades, they lament the ignorance of all others. "I am the only one who sees the light!" they crv. "Alas for the rest of you!" But there are others, Ironicus. There are others who read books, appreciate music, and enjoy pictures. Sometimes they even think about these things, just as you apparently do. Sometimes, though rarely, I admit, they help others to the light by writing such a column as D. C. K.'s "Food for Thought", or an attempt, even if mistaken, like K. S.'s "Letters to a Friend", in the Bee Gee News. Must they stand on a soap-box and wave their arms madly, in order to make themselves realized? Must they hold mass meetings and spread so-called "educational" propaganda? Must they even show that they are disturbed by your assault? No, they probably are more discerning ?nd far-seeing than I. When they read of an attack like yours, they merely hold an aloof and dignified silence, and hope that you will really SEE some day, while I want to reform you. I do not object to your purpose—it is your method that is offensive. If you are really "enlightened", Ironicus, you will understand this. E. I. (Embryonic Intellectual) To E. I. (Embryonic Intellectual) We enjoy your article. Suppose you atttact the news of the'day. We need your constructive ideas.—Editor. Activity—lively, constructive activity with originality and initiative bursting out at surprising intervals. Then a few pinches of loyalty and enthusiastic support for dear old Alma Mater. This will make your school spirit get hot. They tell us that Ironicus said last week that we are in a stupor but is that so bad when psychologists say sixsevenths of our brains lie dormant? Even Ironicus must be a little fuzzy for did he not condemn only? What do you want, Ironicus, and who do you want to do it? Do you want parades, bonfires and stump speeches to express college spirit? A local fraternity tried something like this recently and the police department immediately began to keep the peace. Perhaps you want to organize to participate in the big movements of the day! Suppose we DO take up the "juices of rock-ribbed Republicanism" or attempt to dispel a "befuddled prehistoric lore." May it not be that such vague generalities are causing more or less of our inactivity? If Ironicus really wants the school to wake up, why not suggest leaders or formulae to start the thing along? It would seem that when an emergency occurs, the usual procedure is to utiliize the material in hand and not suggest wild theories and general principles. The Y. M. C. A. has been struggling along for several years barely surviving from one meeting to another. Check up on this organization this year, Ironicus, for the key to the revival of interest that can be aroused. College spirit is simply students at work for the parent school through one or more of its constituencies. A hulaboloo is not college spirit. It comes as an expression of spirit. Put students to work where they find an interest and then break precedents as fast as you can with good, constructive activity and the college spirit thermometer will rise with a bang. Don't try to force us with belittling methods, Ironicus; lead us and if your methods are worthy, we will follow. Dorm News Hello, Tag, glad you are back.

The First grade popped corn, some of which they passed on to the Third grade as a gift in the form of a Jack Homer Pie. The Second grade had a Hallowe'en party and program at which fifteen parents were present. The theme of the program was "How We Can Have a Better Second Grade." The children served cider and ginger cookies they had made themselves. The Third grade treated the school to a very interesting Masked Parade, headed by Mickey Mouse himself. After the parade, the group returned to a surprise party in their room. Other festivities occurred in the Kindergarten and Sixth grade. Particularly interesting was another surprise, this time a birthday party, in the Kindergarten. Marjorie Polland celebrated her fifth birthday on Nov. 2nd. Marjorie's mother provided the refreshments—she sent the birthday cake, fruit, and individual cakes for all the children in the Kindergarten. The Sixth grade had a party and program also on November 10th. The newly-elected class officers put on the party for the entire grade. Some of the children played musical numbers. Miss Erckman told a ghost story. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the program and the refreshments served at the close. However, the Training School has not been neglecting work for fun. The First grade has made a big step forward in the process of learning to read—they are beginning to read from books. The Second and Third grades have been making studies end maps of the Campus, and have made trips through the buildings in order that they may become better acquainted with the geography of their immediate surroundings. The Fourth grade has been making an intensive study of precious stones, having become interested in the subject in connection with the history of the trips of Marco Polo. The Fifth grade is very proud of the records made by its members the past week in spelling, in improvement and in the increased number of perfect records. Doesn't Stanley Fisher look as if he just stepped from a newspaper advertisement with that pipe? . . . Speaking of baseball, one surely has to slide for home on these slippery walks . . . One of the campus lights has burned out. Please, Mr Ronk, we want light. It's so hard to walk anyhow, after they take the walks in every nite at ten— yes, they still do it! . . . Don't you know? Then I'll tell you—the girl with whom Dale Kinney is always seen is Velita Whaley . . Dorris Dunbar and Wilfred Ingle seem to agree on some things, too. Personal nomination for the most ambitious fellow on the campus—Edgar Emerson. Did you know that the Five Sister House has so many telephone calls that it has to be on a private line? . . . Junior Bushong, the lad who stood on his head and left his feet fall thru a window. Yes—the window broke! .... What has happened to the library "gangs" of other years? Just another old tradition wiped out. And Bee Gee needs traditions! College traditions and college spirit are inseparable. Of course we have a few traditional parties, the Rally at the beginning of the school year, our Homecoming, and May Day, but we need more! After all, a college 19 years old should begin growing up and taking on a college atmosphere, both scholastically and socially. Surely in nearly 900 students there are enough leaders to show the way to the moons we keep crying for and never get . . . Three cheers for the Y. M. C. A. They sponsored the enly pep meeting we had this year, are getting out a Student Handbook, and gave a very nice party last week. Fellows would do well to get in line with this organization. Special recognition should go to the enterprising president, Max Dunipace . . . Martha Mackon, the girl who wasn't going to have her name in the Bee Gee News. One can never be sure of such things, can one, Martha? Ha! ... A week from today Thanksgiving vacation begins. It's time to begin resting up for your vacation—at least, that's the conventional thing to do! What is confidentaly mine I won't tell, but this is—Confidentally Yours. The Twenty-Third Psalm —Up To-Date The house mother is my shepherd; I shall not flunk; She maketh me to stay in on week nights; she forces me to keep quiet hours. She maketh me to sign out; she leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for my parent's sake. Yea, though I sign out for the library and go to the movies with Dale, I will fear no evil; for thou aren't with me; thy mobs and thy staff won't see me. Thou preparest an interview with me in the presence of the dean of women; thou checkest up on my toil, my marks runneth over. Surely my week-ends shall be taken from me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house forever. Announcements Carl Sandburg, Thursday, Nov. 23 SAVE YOUR PENNIES! YOU'LL NEED 'EM DEC. 16TH!! THE KEY Watch for important Key announcement \ hich will appear in this paper next week. CHAPEL Last Tuesday a program of education rnd amusement was presented to the faculty ; nd students. (It was noticeable that the i iculty attendance was more than usual.) The program was opened by a song and rrayer, after which the Girls' Chorus un<"?r the direction of Miss Hall of the Music Department, sang three numbers: "Believe He If All Those Endearing Young Cha:ms", "Marianina", and "Goin' Home". I he main feature of the program was a hcture on the Chicago World's Fair by Hiss Wills, whose home is in Chicago, but at the present is an instructor in B. G. S. Miss Wills pointed out the main reason why so many people were disappointed in the fair, largely due to the fact that they t ied to measure the fair in the terms of t"ie yard stick. Miss Wills painted a wonderful picture of the fair for those who lave not seen it, with its gorgeous architecture, planned and built by ten of the loading architects of the country, which expresses our dynamic modes of life today; the vividness of the sunset playing on the buildings and Lake Michigan; the lighting effects which made the exposition grounds rrlitter like a jewel; and shock experienced by the various and brilliant colors. It was said that Chicago could not do it but they did it in the face of the greatest economic depression in history. Therefore, with its attendance of 24 millions of people, it is fair to say that the fair has become a great university, teaching 100 years of progress and science. —o—o— FATE What is fate? This word is often on the lips of all of us but can we tell what it is. I'm afraid not. Everyone spins his own fate, good or evil, never to be undone. Even the smallest stroke of virtue or vice leaves its novcr-so-little scar. The drunken Rip Van Winkle, in Jefferson's play, excuses himcalf for every fresh dereliction by saying, "I won't count this time!" He may not count it, but it is being counted none the less. Down among his nerve-cells and fibers the molecules are counting it and storing it up against him until the next time. Nothing we ever do can be in the scientific sense completely wiped out. Our fate then is what we ourselves build up in our reactions to stimuli. Let us not neglect our fate. Start building now so that your fate may be the best you can make it. BEE GEE NEWS o <e>- <e- -A <^ SOCIAL EVENTS SORORITIES ■^ <$>- PAGE 3 PHRATRA PHASES The Phratra sorority entertained the following guests at the Nookery Tuesday evening: Lois Liggett, Naomi Curtis, Lois Kindinger, Alene Vickers, Dorothy Pace, and Maurene Jellison. Dinner was served at an attractive table decorated in the sororities colors. The remainder of the evening was spent in the enjoyment of a program arranged by Marie Waterman. FIVE SISTER NEWS On Saturday evening, Nov. 18, the Five Sisters entertained a group of rushees at a buffet supper. The House was attractively decorated. Red and white ballons added much to the festivity of the occasion. Our dining-rocm table was resplendent with a beautiful banquet of red roses and white mums. Shortly after six-thirty, the Sisters and their guests seated themselves at tables for four. Small shields, emblems of our sorority, were used for place-cards. Each guest was presented with a lovely corsage of red roses and white mums. After the bountiful meal had been consumed, tallies were distributed and bridge tables formed. A couple of hours of card playing and visiting followed. With the singing of the Five Sister song, the evening was brought to a close. -«»— LAS AMIGAS SORORITY Las Amigas Sorority entertained seven rushees at a formal dinner Friday evening, November the seventeenth at 6:30 o'clock. The tables were appropriately decorated with white chrysanthemums and candles. After dinner was served, the girls were entertained by games. Some proved very apt at drawing turkeys. Prizes were given as incentives for better work. Edna Arn, Alice Becker, Margaret Heieigh, Jane Mercer, Betty Miller, Martha Schaub and Dorothy Pace, were the guests of the evening. 3-K NOTES The 3-K Palace was opened last Wednesday evening for the "Hollywood Premiere". After a performance by a few Hollywood celebrities and campus personalities, the party found themselves in Cocoanut Grove, the gathering place of the famous stars. Joan Crawfords, Greta Garbos, Janet Gaynors, and Joan Blondells played bridge and danced. An eagerly waiting public listened to a few remarks from their favorites and many hitherto unknown secrets of the stars were discovered. Refreshments, more dancing, and the "Hollywood Premiere" was over. c ■o FRATERNITIES -4> Organizations Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. meeting of last Thursday night was a social party with a score or more couples in attendance. The guests danced or sat at the tables and played cards, checkers, and chess. During the evening, readings were given by Robert Bender and Frances Byrne. Earl Cryer sang for the group, and "Dr." Kenneth Skinner operated on John Gaeth. At the close of the evening, refreshments were served. The next meeting of the organization will be held in Room 104A, on Thursday night, with Dr. Whitacre as the speaker. All college men are invited. Two basketball teams have been organized by the Y. M. C. A.: the "Comets" with Robert Ruth as manager, and the "Knights" under Dale Kellogg. In their first contest, the Comets defeated the Knights, 28-17, but later lost to the "House of Scoop" 219. The Knights won their second game from "Brown's Independents" 28-20. More games are scheduled for this week. Emerson Literary Society "In the Football World" was the theme of the program at the meeting of Emerson Literary Society on Nov. 15. Arthur Wohlers summarized the football season of the Bowling Green squad. Linda Dill told of the outstanding football players of the country. Meltha Carter presided over parliamentary drill. The group practised the principles of reconsideration and committee of the whole. Elwood Ikes was voted into the society. The next meeting will be on Dec. 13. SEVEN SISTER NEWS The Seven Sisters and their rushees enjoyed the picture "Christopher Bean" at the Valentine in Toledo on Friday evening. After the show they returned to the house, which was festively decorated with Japanese cherry trees and lanterns and where refreshments in keeping with the oriental plan were served by Japanese waitresses to thirty people. <$>_ ■* DELHI The Delhi fraternity held another one of the periodic parties at the house Saturday night. Everyone danced to the rhythm of nationally famous orchestras and enjoyed the light luncheon with the same. Considerable debate took place as to which orchestra or orchestras were furnishing the music at a particular time. Mrs. Davis, the congenial and obliging housemother, chaperoned the party. Needless to say, her presence added to the desirable lively spirit which has been characteristic of all the parties sponsored by the fraternity. The boys are only too sorry that the house, however large, will only accommodate a generous, but limited number of guests. LOSING SOCCER TEAM TO AID IN GIVING DINNER The losing hockey team, whether it may be the Tanagers, Bobs, or Orioles, will not give the W. A. A. Sport's Supper to be held the Wednesday after Thanksgiving Vacation without assistance. The hockey team will share that honor with the losing team in soccer and speedball which have been combined this season into one program of games. Speedball games are played on Tuesdays, and soccer games on Thursdays at 4:00 p. m. Two teams, a Town Team, captained by Ann Rimelspach and a Dorm Team captained by Lillian Hankel take part in the soccer and speedball games. The Town Team is in the lead having won 5 games to 1 game won by the Dorm Team and it is probable that the Dorm Team will be the one to aid in giving the Sports Supper since there are only 3 more games to be played. Miss Hartman is faculty sponsor for the soccer and speedball program which is coached by Vivian Sharp. Members of the Dorm Team are: Hankel, captain, Myrice, manager, Duffy, Boyer, Haberman, Herrit, Shelles, Trawatha, L. Silva and Dunson. Members of the Town Team are: Rimelspach, captain, DeMangeat, manager, Batterson, Keil, Swain, Lehman, Pierce, Hoffman, Armbruster, Russel and Zieg.

Orioles Beat Tanagers Have you noticed Frank Keil's black eye? There is a splendid class, for physical development, being sponsored by Ervin Mizer in the men's gym. Mr. Mizer is an accomplished wrestler who hails from New Philadelphia, Ohio. He has taken a course in wrestling at Kent State College. Under his guidance there should be some formidable wrestlers developed within the next few months. At the first wrestling class which began over a week ago there were plenty of thrills. Mr. Mizer and Frank Keil were hard at it on a mat. In the mix-up Mr. Mizer's elbow found Frank's eye—and was it a shiner! The main attraction of the evening was a presumably "friendly" match between Royce Huchinson and "Clif" Jolly. These boys had been wondering for weeks who could "take" the most. In this match they found cut they both could take it. In case you don't know Mr. Jolly—he is the man who invented and played with the "Jolly" balance of the Physical Science department. He proved that he could hold his "balance" in this match. After a few flying tackles he still managed to stay on his feet! Was his face red? The match ended when the boys were tired. Mr. Jolly was not satisfied with the outcome of this match so he decided to take on "Mac" McCrory. Can he take it! He hugged "Mac" forcibly but gently throughout the match. The only results of the fracas were a few dents in the wall caused by Jolly's head. The Orioles hockey team defeated the Tanagers in a brilliantly played game Mon- planned for the evening. Any members of the W. A. A. who wish to attend the supper must sign up at the W. A. A. bulletin board. Girls in charge of arrangements for the occasion are: Mary Silva, general chairman; Mabel Grauer, entertainment; Ruth Andrews, hockey; Dorothy Zieg, soccer; Helen DeTray, volley ball; and Genevieve Swain, refreshments. 'At The Gate of the Campus' THE COLLEGE RESTAURANT EVENING LUNCHEONS AND DINNERS A SPECIALTY 5:30 to 7:30 day, Nov. 13. The Orioles were in the lead the whole game and at no time was their victory endangered. The Orioles have not been defeated this reason. They have five victoires and one tie to their credit. The game Monday night ended 4-1. In the last few minutss of play the Tanagers came through for their single goal and before play was resumed the game was over, much to the chagrin of the now enthused Tanagers.
