New Books in the
Library
First on the list of novels is Ernest
Hemingway's "For Who m t he Bell
Tolls " a story of the civil war in
Spain . This is a typical war story
written in a very dramatic style by
a man who knows what he is writing
about, Ernest Hemingway has gained
the now school of writers by experimenting with the sound of words in
producing a feeling by the reader.
"Oliver Wiswell" by Kenneth Roberts is second on the list, This is the
story of the Revolutionary War and
the causes of the war as seen through
the eye.« of a young loyalist. Previous
to "Oliver Wiswell" the novelist portrayed the rebel as a hero and the
loyalist as a cowurd and traitor to
his fellow men.
Willa Cather's most recent publication , "Stipphira and the Slave Girl"
is a delightful story of the old south.
Miss Cathor 's greatness lies in her
creations ot characters. Henry is the
most appealing of the characters ,
Sapphlra the most intriguing, and
Nancy the most interesting.
Uniled States has many refugee
writers, but few compare with Franz
Werfol, Ills latest novel "Embezzled
Heaven " has taken the country by
force. Franz Worfol writes about Ihe
servant woman Teta who worked in
tho kitchen of the most culture d poo.

pie in Austria and used her earnings
to educate her nephew for the clergy
so that her soul might become immortal.
The la test French story on the
market is "The Voynge" by Charles
Morgan. Barlet Hazard , a vinegrower , is in love with Thorese Despreus,
a celebrated cafe-concert star. Barlet
does what he believes to be right
without fear of public opinion. Thereso is very passionate—she loves and
hates with equal passion.
Tho most powerful book of recent
times is "Out of tho Night" by Jan
Valtln , a story of tho political underworld in Europe and America. This
book will have a great effect on our
future civilization than any other
piece of literature to be written in
recent years.
"The White Cliffs " by Alice Duer
Miller is a novel written in poetry.
It is tho story of a young American
girl who marries an Englishman ,
bears him a son, and in the first World
War, loses her husband. When the
second World War breaks out , this
courageous woman faces the world
with her indomitable mother-in-law
knowing that she might never see her
son again.
Lin Yutang has written fifty some
sketches on the Americans and their
ideals and customs as seen through
the eyes of a Chinaman and incorporated them into a book called
"With Love and Irony." Tho essays
also compare the American life as
with the life of tho Chinese.

Spring is a joyous state of mind ,
That lifts my spirit high ;
A happy, sunny view of life
Seen by my inner eye.
Spring is a free and lilting stride,
That swings me down life's lane;
A gay, light , jaunty elation
Which makes all tasks a game.
Spring is a song of ecstacy,
Tha t rings within my heart;
A mighty, mystic melody
Of which I am a part.

LONGING

Dear heart!
We are so far apart —
Long miles between.
And yet,
You need have no regret —
Those miles away.
Ever t ru e,
Remains my love for you —
Spanning long miles.

And then ,
You will be back again ,
Close—in my arms.

SpOrt illg ArOUnd _ By Alex Foster
The recent National Collegiate Athletic Association boxing tourney
which was held in Penn State's spacious Rec Hall impressed this columnist
with the fact that colleges throughout this country take their boxing seriously. When such far-flung institutions as Southwestern Louisiana Institute,
California Aggies, Louisiana State, Washington State, and Wisconsin can
send several representatives to such event then there certainly is, without
a doubt , a real interest in collegiate boxing. Boxing is unquestionably one of
the fines t college sports today. The ability to "give and take" is one of its
greatest merits and additionally helps to mould them into bigger and better
men.
Although B.S.T.C. does not incltide this sport on their athletic program,
Lock Haven and Indiana deem it worthy of their heartiest support. Both
sent men to the N.C.A.A. Don Campbell , heavyweight, and Skerpon, lightning-fisted 145-pounder , wore the Lock Haven colors. Campbell was stopped
via the T.K.O. route in his first time out but Skerpon felled two contenders
before being whipped in the semi-finals. In his first win, the Lock Haven
puncher beat Frank Garro of Bucknell who had boasted a perfect record
this season.
This wrRer was not fortunate enough to witness the first two nights of
the tourney but was able to view the finals of the three-day matches. Summing up the eight-bout card, it could be said that the matches were "nothing to write home about" which was due mostly to the fact that the majority
of the finalists had participated in three bouts in two days and were mighty
tired.
A PROUD MOTHER

Without a doubt , the feature of the entire program was the introduction
of Mrs. Kara, mother of Ted and Frank Kara, who captured titles in the 120
and 127 Ib. ranks respectively . Mrs. Kara had not seen her two mite sons
since they enrolled at Idaho University four years ago. Sobbing with joy,
the proud mother walked up to the ringside as her boys were being presented with,their medals and trophies. She was the happiest woman in the
entire crowd of nearly seven thousand people that night. The audience
themselves took the dramatic scene deeply as a complete hush swept over
the gathering.
Bloomsburg, with the opening of their new gymnasium scheduled to
come off sometime in early May, should organize a boxing team. The adequate facilities of the new plant would be one of the first steps in favor of
the acquiring of this popular sport . Expenses could be reduced to mere
maintenance costs for there are several expert amateur boxers in this
school who could be induced to coach the team. The equipment needed is
usually included in any well-supplied gym.
The talent for the sport definitely is to be found within the confines of
this institution. Some schools graduate men from the ranks of intra-mural
boxing. This sport would draw a large following from regional fans for there
is much interest in the game throughout Central Pennsylvania as was evidenced by the attendance at amateur matches in this section during the past
summer and at college matches this winter. Shall we have boxing ? ?
IN THE SPOTLIGHT

The exploits of Coach George Buchheit's renowned B.S.T.C. track team
will be brought before the attention of the entire country as the Huskies
have won a place on Spaulding's annual N.C.A.A. track guide which is
considered the byword in the activities of this sport. A photo of last season 's
fine squad appears in the issue. The seventeen-man team, three managers,
along with the handsome countenances of Coach Buchheit and Dr. Nelson
complete the picture. The top of the photo is adorned with the Huskies title
of Penna. State Teachers College Champions. The remainder of the page
is devoted to a resume of the State Teachers Meet held at West Chester in
'40.
Included under the same cover is the record of every outstanding college
track team in the land . Bloomsburg's clean slate in four dual-meets is
recorded along with those of other standout track schools such as Southern
California, Minnesota, and North Texas Teachers.
Among the records compiled at the Penn Relays we find B.S.T.C. has a
third-place spot in the one mile Teachers College relay. Hampton and Michigan Normal preceed Bloomsburg in that order.

The life of a baseball player in training camp is anything but "the life
of R alei gh" according to a highly-informative letter received by the sports
departmen t from Danny Litwhiler who is at present putting the finishing
touches on pre-season drills at Miami Beach, Florida , prior to the opening
of another heated National League campaign In one week.
Dynamite Danny reports that the warm Florida sun not only brings
out the baseball in you but also an extra-dose of sunburn and blisters. The
irony in the entire training period is that no player is allowed to take a
swim in the cooling wntcrs at the beach. However, he says the brilliant rays
of the sun help to smooth out those winter-aged kinks in ye old muscles.
Dr. Thomas Prothro, who shoulders the Phillies headaches throughout
the season, has laid down some rigid laws which the big-time aspirants must
follow Jn order to stay on the good side of the management. The pJayers
must finish their "painting the town red" by midnight so that they can get
up at nine o'clock. Danny informs us that the bosses keep a strict watch on
all nieht rlubs.
TWO SE SSIONS DAILY
All players are required to be in uniform at 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.
each day. At these hours the baseballers are put through some strenuous
practice sessions and while on the field the players are not allowed to sit
down or loaf but must keep hustling all the time. Sharingr the responsibility
with the ex-dentist Protho, who will do some "teethlng ' to keep the Phils
out of their cellar-home, Is Hans Lobert. Lobort has been with the Phils for
many moons and really knows his way around the diamond. Leo Miller, an
excellent trainer, Irons out many an aching muscle or repairs worn bodies.
Danny writes a satirlc/il note about cameramen— "The thing that burns
us up the most Is the screwy cameramen who come to you after you
are dead tired and soaking wet, and ask you to pull something screwy for
them. They got in your hair."
Danny concludes his interesting communication with a wish for successful seasons for B.S.T.C. loams the remainder of the year.
Keep your eyes on this fast-stopping B.S.T.C. grad because ho Is really
headed in the right direction. The eyes on the sports world will be focused
on him this season and If he c»n pull through with a better-than-avorage
performance in his Sophomore year under such odds than he bears well the
names attached to his ability by leading sports-writers, If you are interested
in writing or seeing Danny you can probably find him parkd In contor field

New Books in the
Library
First on the list of novels is Ernest
Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell
Tolls " a story of the civil war in
Spain. This is a typical war story
written in a very dramatic style by
a man who knows what he is writing
about. Ernest Hemingway has gained
the new school of writers by experimenting with the sound of words in
producing a feeling by the reader ,
"Oliver Wiswell" by Kenneth Roberts is second on the list. This is the
story of the Revolutionary War and
the causes of the war as seen through
the eyes of a young loyalist. Previous
to "Oliver Wiswell" the novelist portrayed the rebel as a hero and tho
loyalist as a cownrd and traitor to
his follow men.
Wllla Cather 's most recent publication , "Supphira and tho Slave Girl"
is a delightful story of tho old south.
Miss Cather 's greatness lies in her
creations of characters , Henry is the
most appealing of tho characters,
Sapphlra the most intriguing, and
Nancy tho most Interesting.

The latest French story on the
m arket is "The Voyage" by Charles
Morgan. Barlct Hazard , a vinegrower, is in love with Therese Despreus,
a celebrated cafe-concert star. Barlot
does what he believes to be right
without fear of public opinion. Therese is very passionate—she loves and
hates with equal passion.
The most powerful book of recent
times is "Out of the Night" by Jan
Valtln , a story of the political underworld in Europe and America . This
book will have a great effect on our
future civilization than any other
piece of literature to bo written in
recent years.
"Tho White Cliffs" by Alice Duer
Miller is a novel written in poetry.
It is the story of a young American
girl who marries an Englishman ,
boars him a son, and in tho firs t World
War, loses her husband , When tho
second World War breaks out , this
courageous woman faces tho world
with her indomitable mother-in-law

Spring is a joyous state of mind ,
That lifts my spirit high ;
A happy, sunny view of life
Seen by my inner eye.
Spring is a free and lilting stride,
That swings me down life's lane;
A gay, light, jaunty elation
Which makes all tasks a game.
Spring is a song of ecstacy,
That rings within my heart;
A mighty, mystic melody
Of which I am a part.
LONGING
Dear heart !
We are so far apart —
Long miles between.
And yet ,
You need have no regret —

Those miles away.
Ever true ,

Remains my love for you —
Spanning long miles.
And then,
You will be back again .
Close—in my arms.

Sporting Around

bv Mex Foster

The recent National Collegiate Athletic Association boxing tourney
which was held in Penn State's spacious Rec Hall impressed this columnist
with the fact that colleges throughout this country take their boxing seriously. When such far-flung institutions as Southwestern Louisiana Institute,
California Aggies, Louisiana State, Washington State, and Wisconsin can
send several representatives to such event then there certainly is, without
a doubt , a real inte rest in collegiate boxing. Boxing is unquestionably one of
the fines t college sports today. The ability to "give and take" is one of its
greatest merits and additionally helps to mould them into bigger and better
men.
Although B.S.T.C. does not include this sport on their athletic program,
Lock Haven and Indiana deem it worthy of their heartiest support. Both
sent men to the N.C.A.A. Don Campbell, heavyweight, and Skerpon , lightning-fisted 145-pounder , wore the Lock Haven colors. Campbell was stopped
via the T.K.O . route in his first time out but Skerpon felled two contenders
before being whipped in the semi-finals. In his first win, the Lock Haven
puncher beat Frank Garro of Bucknell who had boasted a perfect record
this season.
This writer was not fort unate enough to witness the first two nights of
the tourney but was able to view the finals of the three-day matches. Summing up the eight-bout card, it could be said that the matches were "nothing to write home about" which was due mostly to the fact that the maj ority
of the finalis ts had participated in three bouts in two days and were mighty
tired.
A PROUD MOTHER
Without a doubt , the feature of the entire program was the introduction
of Mrs . Kara , mother of Ted and Frank Kara, who captured titles in the 120
and 127 lb. ranks respectively. Mrs. Kara had not seen her two mite sons
since they enrolled at Idaho University four years ago. Sobbing with joy,
the proud mother walked up to the ringside as her boys were being presented with their medals and trophies. She was the happiest woman in the
entire crowd of nearly seven thousand people that night. The audience
themselves took the dramatic scene deeply as a complete hush swept over
the gathering.
Bloomsburg, with the opening of their new gymnasium scheduled to
come off sometime in early May, should organize a boxing team. The adequate facilities of the new plant would be one of the first steps in favor of
the acquiring of this popular sport. Expenses could be reduced to mere
maintenance costs for there are several expert amateur boxers in this
school who could be induced to coach the team. The equipment needed is
usually included in any well-supplied gym.
The talent for the sport definitely is to be found within the confines of
this institution. Some schools graduate men from the ranks of intra-mural
boxing. This sport would draw a large following from regional fans for there
is much interest in the game throughout Central Pennsylvania as was evidenced by the attendance at amateur matches in this section during the past
summer and at college matches this winter . Shall we have boxing ? ?
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The exploits of Coach George Buchheit's renowned B.S.T.C. track team
will be brought before the attention of the entire country as the Huskies
have won a place on Spaulding's annual N.C.A.A. track guide which is
considered the byword in the activities of this sport. A photo of last season's
fine squad appears in the issue. The seventeen-man team, three managers,
along with the handsome countenances of Coach Buchheit and Dr. Nelson
complete the picture. The top of the photo is adorned with the Huskies title
of Penna. State Teachers College Champions. The remainder of the page
is devoted to a resume of the State Teachers Meet held at West Chester in
•40.
Included under the same cover is the record of every outstanding college
track team in the land. Bloomsburg's clean slate in four dual-meets is
recorded along with those of other standout track schools such as Southern
California , Minnesota , and North Texas Teachers.
Among the records compiled at the Penn Relays we find B.S.T.C. has a
third-place spot in the one mile Teachers College relay. Hampton and Michigan Normal preceed Bloomsburg in that order.

The life of a baseball player in training camp is anything but "the life
of Ra leigh" according to a highly-informative letter received by the sports
department from Danny Litwhiler who is at present putting the finishing
touches on pre-season drills at Miami Beach, Florida , prior to the opening
of another heated National League campaign in one week.
Dynamite Danny reports that the warm Florida sun not only brings
out the baseball in you but also an extra-dose of sunburn and blisters. The
irony in the entire training period is that no player is allowed to take a
swim in the cooling waters at the beach. However, he says the brilliant rays
of the sun help to smooth out those winter-aged kinks in ye old muscles.
Dr. Thomas Prothro, who shoulders the Phillies headaches throughout
the season, has laid down some rigid laws which the big-time aspirants must
follow In order to stay on the good side of tho management, The players
must finish thoir "painting the town red" by midnight so that they can get
up at nine o'clock. Danny informs us that the bosses keep a strict watch on
all nieht clubs.
TWO SESSIONS DAILY
All players are required to be in uniform at 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.
each day, At these hours tho basoballers are put through some strenuous
practice sessions and while on tho field the players are not allowed to sit
down or loaf but must keep hustling all the time. Sharing the responsibility
with the ox-dentist Protho , who will do some "teething" to keep the Phils
out of their cellar-home, is Hans Lobert. Lobert has been with the Phils for
many moons and really knows his way around the diamond. Leo Miller, an
excellent trainer, irons out many an aching muscle or repairs worn bodies.
Danny writes a satirical note about cameramen— "The thing that burns
us up tho most is tho scrowy cameramen who come to you after you
aro dead tirod and soaking wot, and ask you to pull something screwy for
them. They get In your hair,"
Danny concludes his Interesting communication with a wish for successful seasons for B.S.T.C. teams tho remainder of tho year.
Koop your eyes on this fast-stepping B.S.T.C, grad because ho is really
headed In tho right direction. Tho eyes on tho sports world will be focused
on him this season and it ho can pull through with a bettor-than-average
performance in his Sophomore year' under such odds than he boars well tho

PHI SIGMA PI INDUCTS
THREE NEW PLEDGEES

The B.S.T.C. basketball team will
probaby play a thirteen game-card
during the 1941-42 season according
to the schedule which was released
by the Athletic Committee of the
college. Twelve games are now listed
and there is a possibility that an additional game with West Chester may
be contracted, bringing the total to
thirteen for the court campaign. This
season the Huskies completed a fourteen game schedule.
Besides the second game pending
with West Chester, several changes
are noted on the card. Indiana and
Montclair N. J. Teachers do not appear on next year's card. Both schools
prefer to play regional colleges rather than stand the added expense of
the long trek to B.S.T.C.
The Huskies take to the wooden
way for the first time on December
13 when they do battle against the
Alumni . The Buchheit-men follow the
opener with four successive home tilts
before engaging th ree opponents on
the road . The new college gym is expected to be opened some time before
the close of this school session and
as a result the Huskies will probably
play their entire home schedule on
the spacious floorboards on the hill.
The schedule is as follows :
