Stuart Edwards, Director of Admissions. These new students, along with returning students from the Spring and Summer terms, will swell the enrollment at BSC to a new all-time high of close to 2,500 students. Included in the 889 admissions will be 830 freshmen, twenty-one graduates of junior colleges or students with credits from colleges and univers;ties. thirty-two former BSC students and six unclassified. This Summer, there were ninety high school graduates attending the Summer trial enrollment program and of this figure approximately one half will be included in the 830 freshmen. The secondary education curriculum will receive the greatest number of the new students-326. Two hundred twenty-one will be going into elementary education, followed by 129 in business education, 209 in arts and science and 79 in special education. Another 51 have not made their final choice as to curriculum. With this increased enrollment, it will be necessary to raise the number of faculty to approximately 150. MOST SUCCESSFUL SUMMER PROGRAM This year's Summer Sessions program was one of the largest and most successful ever conducted at Bloomsburg State College, according to John A. Hoch, Dean of Instruction. A total of 2,749 students, representing an increase of 211 over last Summer, were enrolled for the three Summer Sessions. Back in 195 7, when four three-week Summer Sessions were conducted, the total enrollment of 1,317 was 1,432 less than this Summer. Ninety-one undergraduates and four graduates earned degrees this Summer. Eighteen of these degrees were in Business Education, 27 in Elementary Education, 34 in Secondary Education, 10 in Special Education, and two in Public School Nursing. Two of the four graduate degrees were earned in Business Education and two in Elementary Education. During this year's Pre-Session, which was held from June 8 to June 26, there were 843 students pursuing studies with 111 being graduate students, 710 undergraduates, and 22 in the Vocational Rehabilitation program. The six weeks Main Summer Sessions conducted from June 29 to August 7, had 1,211 students enrolled which included 962 undergraduates, 227 graduates, and 22 Rehabilitation students. In the Post Session, August 10 to August 28, 695 were enrolled. Of this total, 587 were undergraduates, 86 graduates, and 22 in the Vocational Rehabilitation program.

Although it was fairly early in the day for this (Continued on back page) The athletic complexion at Bloomsburg State College will change during the 1964-'65 school term with several new aspects evident. One of the major instigations will take place when the freshman rule is invoked in all the intercollegiate sports at Bloomsburg State College this Fall. This should result in a more careful sifting of freshman athletic ability and enable a more gradual adjustment for incoming freshmen athletes to college competition. Football, which opens the school year athletic program, will experience the greatest change as three new faces will be on the coaching staff. Appointed last Spring as head coach was Russell E. Houk, BSC Athletic Director and Head Wrestling Coach. Houk has indicated he will lighten his athletic load by appointing key assistants in both football and wrestling. Houk will retain George Wilwohl and Dick Mentzer from last year's staff and add Bob Davenport, former Berwick, Pa., and Tenafly, N.J., High School Coach who has been a member of the BSC faculty for three years, and Ronald Novak, who was appointed to the Mathematics Department for the Fall term and was a former Elizabeth-Forward, Pa., High School Football Coach. Wilwohl will handle the freshman squad assisted by Novak. To help supplement his wrestling coaching duties, Houk has named as his ass;stant, Jerry Maurey, widely known and successful head wrestling coach at Clearfield, Pa., Area High School. Maurey will also be assigned to teach in the Education Department along with being an assistant to Dean of Men, Elton Hunsinger. For the first time in a number of years, Cross Country will be on the athletic program this· Fall at the college with John Brady, Spanish instructor, named to coach the sport. Bob Norton will direct both the Husky basketballers and the tennis team for his second straight year. The BSC swimmers will be under the direction of Eli McLaughlin, now in his 4th year as coach. Two of the assistant football coaches, who will coach other sports, are Dick Mentzer, baseball, and George Wilwohl, track. While Golf Coach Craig Himes is on sabbatical leave for doctorate work, Bruce "Nick" Dietterick, of the Public Relations Department, will handle the golfing duties.
