Blue Band To Stage Review
For Fiftieth Anniversary
Among the many alumni rooting for

Deike is a trustee of the College, and his
stepping Blue Band.
It was just 50 years when
Old Main was a barracks dormi
tory and male students took four
years of military tactics, the
Commandant of Cadets, Capt. T.
H. Taliaferro, was making his
Sunday morning inspection of
the barracks when he noticed a
bugle hanging on the wall of
George Deike’s room.
As a result of a demonstration
of his bugling ability, Capt. Tali
aferro had him appointed chief
musician; consequently, he was
authorized to organize a bugle
corps if qualified members could
be found.
Thus, by October 1, 1899, the
Cadet Bugle Corps was ready to
operate with the following per
sonnel: buglers, George H. Deik
’O3, E. E. Godard ’O3, Percy M.
Snoeberger ’O3 and Edwin R.
Norris ’O3; bass drum, John M.
Craig ’01; and snare drujm, Fred
P. Dodge ’O3.
During that first year, the fore
sighted Corps members drew up
a petition to the Board of Trus
tees requesting funds to buy 12
instruments for a cadet band.
But, the executive committee of
the Board replied with regret
that no College funds were avail
able for such a purpose.
Brass Fund
However, under the guidance
of Gen. James. A. Beaver, presi
dent of the Board of Trustees,
and Dr. Atherton, president of
the College, a brass fund was
started. In addition, General
Beaver wrote to Andrew Carne
gie requesting $lOO for the cam
paign. - . .
The municifent .Mr. Carnegie
exceeded expectations when he
donated $BOO. And so, in Decem
ber 1900, the Cadet Band was
given official sanction. From that
time to the present, the College
has had a band.
Even in the days of World War
11, when the campus was practic-
Debaters Add
New Members
Jo Varsity
Tryouts for positions on the
men’s varsity debate squad have
resulted in 18 new members being
added to a list of 12 returning de
baters. A tentative schedule of
meets has been announced by Ri
chard Schweiker, manager of the
squad.
The annual men-women debate
with Mount Mercy College will be
held at the College, Dec. 2. The
issue to be debated is, “Resolved
that emancipation of women has
done more harm than good.”
Last Topic Discussed
Last year, the topic discussed
was, “Resolved, that women exer
cise an undue influence in Ameri
can life.” No judging is done in
this annual meet. An open forum
with audience participation fol
lows the presentation of affirma,-
tive and negative viewpoints.
The affirmative team, Richard
Schweiker and Herman Latt, won
all four matches in which it par
ticipated. Richard Hill and Dave
Barron, negative team, won two
out of four matches. Hill also took
part in the mock congressional ses
sion in the form of a radio round
table.

all-male, all-College group was
somewhat altered; in that, coeds,

the faculty helped fill in the

New Student Center
‘ > ,/ v V ’> v!
A VIEW of Ihe new Lutheran Student Center located, at ,W.
College avenue. The Center, built at a cost of $lOO,OOO. will house
all activities of the Lutheran Student Association.- Dedication
ceremonies are to be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Permanent headquarters for
Lutheran student activities be
comes a reality with the dedica
tion of the new $lOO,OOO Lutheran
Student Center this afternoon.
The new building, located on
West College avenue next to the
Grace Lutheran Church, is the re
sult of four years of joint plan
ning by the National Lutheran
Council and Central Pensylvania
Synod.
In 1945 the Council and Synod
purchased the property adjacent
to Grace Lutheran Church. The
house there was used as a tem
porary student center for two
years.
The building is of red brick
making charts and plans. Then,
the band itself goes into' an in
tensified training period, on ma
neuvers which would do justice
to Napoleon, in the six days pre
vious to the game.
Prof. Fishburn inaugurated the
fast marching pace for which the
Blue Band has become noted.
.The rate of the 'band, as it
marches down the field, is 148 to
152 steps per minute, which is
quite fast "in comparison with
the 120 steps per minute regular
marching cadence.
It has been rumored that the
football team is composed of
boys who aren’t fast enough to
make the Blue Band.
