L. Vilgou ONE DOES NOT REALIZE Have you stopp ed to realize that many repairs have been made on our buildings here during our last vacation? So often we don 't appreciate ju st what upkeep or maintenance goes on within these grounds; but , there is a steady crew of men working from eight-thirty in the morning to six at .ni ght. And they 're busy. Let 's jus t look at a few jobs they did during vacation. The library stairs and tlie stairs coming down by room "E" have been painted. New floor has been laid by room "L" where you come in from North Hall and the {raining school. Clogged showers have been fixed in both dormitories.. ' Many steam pipes have been repaired all over the campus.

Let 's show it by taking care of th e irons, and . by not tracking in all kinds of material on the new floor or the steps. We know that if there is something we want done, all we heed to do is to ask for it and it is done. Now let 's ask ourselves to take care of it. , CONGRATULATIONS, BIRDMEN! During the firs t semester of our 1940-'41 school term , B.S.T.C. has added a new school activity to its curriculum— C.A.A. Student Training Course. During our first semester our college has been under probation as to whether this course would stimulate enoug h interest and prove to be a successful undertaking. Unusual interest and favorable results have made it a total success and it undoubtedl y will be a part of our curriculum during the coming semester. Our C.A.A. course is made possible by the Federal Government and is sponsored by our college. The course, divided into two sections consists of flig ht instruction at the Bloomsburg Airport and ground school instruction held in our college classrooms. Both are under the able supervision of men well trained in their particular branch of C.A.A. instruction. The pioneer birdmen of B.S.T.C. should be complimented upon making this new undertaking a total success. It, indeed, was a total success! All ten of the students participating in C.A.A. have successfully completed the requirements which included passing a rigid ph ysical examination , final ground school examination given b y the state C.A.A. inspector , and the final flight check given by the flight instructor at the local airport, Few other colleges sponsoring C.A.A. have had such favorable results. NEW CANDY STORE The Commun ity Government Association is to be lauded for their ac tion on the candy problem at B.S.T.C. For a long time there has been a need for a candy st ore on the campus , The task was too much for any one or gan ization , and the only logical solution to such a problem was to hav e the book store take on the project of selling cand y in addi tion to selling textbooks and school supp lies. The book store has been doing a rushing bus iness for the past few weeks , and by the action of the students , it looks as thoug h the candy project will be a success. The members of C.G.A. have succeeded in showing us very clearly tha t they are capable of findin g the best solution to a trying problem and to act accordingly , It would behoove us all in the near fu ture, when we are criticising our own governing board , to remember that if requested to do anything within reason for the students of B.S.T.C , the members of the C.G.A , will solve the problem in the best 1 ' way that they see fit, So That's Statistics ? Statistics show that Yale graduates have 1.3 children , while Vassar graduate have 1.7 children. Which proves that women have more children than men. * * * "Kansas State Teachers College remains one of the few colleges where no activity occurs during the week. Why are mid-week dances banned ?

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" is destined to become the classic of the horrible civil war in Spain that was accurately dubbed "the munition makers experiment grounds". Ernest Hemingway has written about both sides of the war and both sides have been painted in bloody gore. Kwazy Kwacks By Edwin Wenner "Joe" Madl : What's the bump on your head from ?

An overflow crowd, numbering around six hundred , watched the fracas on the college floorboards. The Huskies, anxious to chalk up their third success of the campaign, hopped to their task by taking an opening-round lead, but the Eagles came back strong in the next two stanzas to cause the Huskies no end of trouble. A rather shaky defense prevented Bloomsburg from harassing the Lock Haven attempts. Teamplay by the Huskies enabled them to come out on top. Well-Balanced Attack The Bald Eagles bsasted a wellknitted attack with Gene Springman, rangy back-court guardian , and Stan Daley doing yeoman work on the offense. Quick passing and accurate shooting on the part of the Huskies garnished them eighteen points for their effort in the opening minutes. The Lock - Haven* "lads' could not find the cords for much advantage throughout this first period and as a result trailed by seven points at the finis of the quarter. In the second canto, the Husky defense bogged and Stan Daley cut through effectively to enable the invaders to pull up within striking distance of the Husky lead. Inability to make their shots count, found the Huskies losing ground after intermission. Both teams battled on even terms until a last-period rally by the B.S.T.C. basketballers made possible They 're Off to Good Sta rt SEEK REVEN GE HERE TONITE Displayed In Easy Victory Strictly adhering to their foreign and domestic policy which emphasises shooting power plus, B.S.T.C.'s cour t representatives, their big guns polished to perfection , doled out a 54-27 drubbing to the Shippensburg Teachers last week. The Huskies showed no mercy in recording their first win against Teachers College opposition. The Cumberland Valley dribblers, usually a thorn in the Huskies path , were unable to cope with the fast offensive that the Maroon and Gold five sported. Shooting with precisionlike accuracy, the Huskies commanded an early lead which they never relinquished throughout the battle. Although the Huskies easily outscored their opponents during the first half of the game, Shippensburg, paced by Beible, smooth-working guard, and Bushey, speedy forward, fought on almost even terms with the Huskies from thereon. The third period saw the Buchheit-tutored club tally sixteen points, however, whjle the Cumberland Valley Collegians found the ccrds for (Continued on Page 4) through good team-play cinched the game. Jayvees Win Desperate, well-aimed shots by Bill Kerchusky and Slim Herr plus fast ball-handling by all B.S.T.C. players pulled the game out of the fire and enabled the Huskies to keep their slate clean. Opening their season in a proverbial blaze.of-glory style, the College jayvees turned back a scrappy but small McMann Business College five in a 40-29 fashion, but only after a stiff match. The Husky jayvees were always in front but the Mahanoy City lads waged a torrid duel for the decision.

Sporting Around By Atex Foster After getting past two teachers college foes, the Huskies are well on their way for another j aunt down the basketball trail. What lies ahead is not known but this department believes that Coach Buchheit has groomed probably one of the finest all-around clubs that this institution has seen along wooden way in many years. We frankly admit the Huskies have a golden opportunity to snare the Teachers College crown, but we insert, if they work together. To publicize one man as outstanding for the team, has a telling effect on the other four players, for you must remember that it takes five men to make or break a team. Sports-writer have the tendency to heap praise on an individual player if his team tops their opposition but, on the other hand, teani should the team fall badly into the black mire of defeat ,. the .. will bear . the blunt of the abuse. East Stroudsburg looms as the Huskies' chief headache in their quest for conference superiority. Others may arise as the season progresses, but come what may, we are backing the team to the limit as we feel that they have more than j ust talent. . , ' ¦¦ : . JUST CHATTING The other Sunday p.m. this observer spent an enjoy able two-hour session with Oren Sterling, boss of the Sunbury Senators, discussing the current woes of the national pastime. Sterling, Who built his Inter-State league entry up from a small-town ball club, claims that the life of an owner is not so rosey. He told us that the Inter-State loop, which will be four years old come this summer, is becoming faster each year since major league clubs are taking over many of the clubs. The regional magnate has much faith in his manager, Dutch Dorman , who after taking over the reigns of the club late in the past season guided them up several positions, and he related that the Senators will be in the thick of the fight for first-divisional honors. He expects the trip to Florida for a three weeks training period to be very costly, but worthwhile. PRAISE FOR BLOOMSBURG The loss of his first string receiver, Johnny Stats, who graduated to bigger time, will place much of the burden on Lou Hummel, ertswhile B.S.T.C. athlete now playing ball in Panama during the winter months. A good hitter and an abundance of spirit , Lou Sterling predicts, will land in higher class. Sterling recalled his short stay here at B.S.T.C, and blamed his A.W.O.L. on his calling in the baseball world. He commented favorably on Bernie Cobb , ex-Maroon and Gold baseballer and first baseman for Wilmington in the same circuit, and Danny Litwhiler, who needs no introduction. In conclusion he congratulated Dr. Nelson on his splendid baseball teams and forecasted future success for B.S.T.C, teams. SPORT FODDER Leo Lehman, Bill Kerchusky, and George Monarlck have been selected by a roll of state.wide colleges as members of the mythical all-state football team for the 1940 season. Lehman, Captain of the Husky Squad, was also selected, on the honorabl e mention list, for a backfleld berth on the Little All-American team which takes in the schools of the nation. Menarick , a sophomore, will be back with the team for the coming season, but Korchusky and Lehman have played their last game for the Maroon and Gold. Both will graduate in Juno. It is interesting to note that these selections represent all departments of a football team. Kerchusky, an end, Menarick, a tackle, and Lehman, a triple-threat back ; all of this proves that the Huskies were strong in every department.

The team must consist of at least eight members. The number of teams entered will determine the number of leagues to be used. Games will be played Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, all games to start on schedule. The success of this student activity depends upon the students . By giving your full cooperation with that of an efficient staff , everyone will have a pleasant time. Sportsmen Select Honorary Captains Leo Lehman, Husky backfleld ace, and Hugh Niles, standout distance man , were unamiously elected honorary captains in football and crosscountry respectively for the past season by members of their two sport teams at a recent vote. The soccer unit elected George Houaeknecht, dependable senior, their honorary captain at the conclusion of their season. Lehman, a four-year performer, and Houseknecht will graduate this spring but Niles, a Bophomore, will be back to form the nucleus of next year's "hill and dalers", To all three go our heartiest congratulations and hopes for continued success, *¦ 'J J 'i .. Writes to Facult y MISS DOROTHY SCHMIDT Condensation of Letters From J apan — Mary Brunstetter — From turbulent Japan , regularly come friendly letters, from a charming Presbyterian missionary, Miss Dorothy Schmidt , to two members of Bloomsburg's faculty, Miss Ethel Shaw and Miss Edna Hazen. Plastered with colorful foreign stamps and filled with pertinent facts of Japan today, the letters are particularly interesting to Bloomsburg because Miss Schmidt once came here as a student in elementary, then secondary work and is now one of the most interesting graduates Bloomsburg can claim. The great concern of the missionary now in Japan , is the rapid change that is constantly taking place. These changes inevltabily affect any work the Christian, church may be doing or planning. Early in November the Japanese pastor, associated with the mission, returned from a great meeting in Tokyo and told his congregation that "the time had come when the church and missionaries must separate". This meeting, instigated by. the . "higher powers", shows how perilous is the position of the foreign missionary and how uncertain the near ; future. Although the mission school goes on as usual , it is rumored that! at; the end of the year, the beginning ( pf April , the number of foreigners-allowed to teach in any one school wlU be only one or two. ¦'Because their work has been great]yi hindered or stopped entirely, many miBsionarios have returned home. From the other missions there has been a grand exodus; some-waiting to'leave , and some already on the Pacific. The American Embassy has advised overyono to leave, but the Board of Missions has notified Miss WALLER HALL NEWS 9 | North Hall | By Jerry S.

Spotlighted on their program was a truly styled "hillbilly minstrel" from the wilds of Benton , and movies on the life of Lincoln and last year's Homecoming. Ben Barndt , dubbed "old reliable" by some day man , Dean Koch , and Mr. Buchheit were honored guests. Yes , they approached the original —through the guiding management of several of the "Benton Feathermerchants" they were able to obtain Frank Girton , the "Northern Cowboy, " who appeared in an honest'-togoodness red flannel shirt and demonstrated how the old riders of the range used to play the "geetar" and sing such familiar ballads as "She'll Be Com in ' Round the Mountain When She Comes." The "Northern Cowboy " surprised the group with an upto-date song with an old theme which he had composed himself. He called it "The Cabin by the Old Macadam Road." Clayton Patterson, the "pride of Nescopeck," defeated everyone in ping-pong to become the uncrowned champ. A modest champ he was too, he said, quote "Oh gee, I guess I just started hittin' them." From the latest remorseful reports he's still "hi t tin1 them." Hot dogs by the bushel and "cocacola" as a "helper" rounded out an evening full of fun and laughter.

Also leaving shortly after the first semeste r are Ja m es Dorsey, Edmund Villa, Raymond Perry, and Robert Joy who are to leave for camp with their National Guard units. That the selective service is functioning is realized by the fact that some male members of the student body have received notification that they must appear for their preliminary physical examinations sixty days before the college year ends.

Speaking of memories, lets go back ' over a f ew which made the yuletide gayer and happier for everyone. Will you ever forget Christmas morning when everyone gathered around the big tree m the front room to open their nresents. There was that sweet little brat of a brother, who was still in the three cornered pants stage, screeming with delight over the new electric train he had received, and at the same time stuffing his mouth full of chocolate cherries and drizzling them all over Dad's new smoking j acket— ain 't he cute tho—Th en big sister came down the steps and cast her glimmers on the quart bottle of 'eau de tulip' that Charlie had sent. Wow —I thought she'd blow a fuse, and she who was expectin ' a seventy-nine fifty engagement ring. Mother was gushin' all over the place—somebody had sent her one of them plants that looks like a pin cushin that had been workin* over time. From the way she was puffin ' and blowin' abo u t it , you'd a thought someone had slipped her a mickey finn. Yep—it sure was a purty sight—baby screemin'—mom gu shin'—sister cryin' her eyes out , and Dad, tryin' to hold on to three things at once—Junior, his new pipe, and his religion. Yep—it sure was purty.—Right in the middle of things (he doorbell starts to do a song and dance, and from the way it sounded I thought someone was blitzkreigin' the front porch. The relation had arrived—all fourteen of them—and a motleyer looking bunch I have never laid eyes on, there they were from Uncle Ed right down to cousin Eddie, all dressed up in their Sunday best, and about four acres of ground on their shoes. So we all get real clubby and talk over everything from Aunt Merttie's goiter to the price of hogs on hoof , while the women are getting the dinner ready. What a din. ner. . . I'll never forget it. Uncle Ed missed while he was carving the t ur key, and j ust about hacked his best hitch-hikin ' thumb clear off, and Junior leans over and swipes some white meat from cousin Eddie who promptly busts him in the kisser . . . they sure are a sweet bunch of kids. Grandpa Thomas stands up to say the grace , and plants his hand right in the middle of the mashed potatoes. He gets by on age. Then comes dessert—and Aunt Susan, who is carrying it in from the kitchen , takes a flyer on Junior's new marble game, does a one and a half back flip, and winds up under the table—completely disfiguring two dollars and eightyseven cents worth of plumb pudding. Yessir—that was some meal, and while I'm on the subject if anybody sees Cousin Carval's uppers please leave them at the house, I guess she must have mislaid them. After dinner we sit around telling very corney stories, and drinking Uncle Ed's cider which has become a little hard . , . from then on the party takes on a very lively nspect. At least to everyone but Junior, who has found out: that chocolate cherries and cabbage salad won't mix, so ho proceeds to have himself a peach of a stomach ache . After the usual run of marshmellow toasting, burn ed fingers , and pants fannings in tho kitchen , the sun goes down on another Christmas day. . . Ah—what fun—I'll never forget it. Mr. Karl H. Maslowski, Naturalist and Lecturer for the Ohio Audubon Society and the University of Cincinnati , gave a very interesting program during the Assembly period on January 6. He has made a very extensive collection of motion pictures of animal , bird , and insect life. All of the pictures were made In the middle West—Ohio, Indiana , and Illinois, He said that most of tho animals may also be found in this section of the country.
