Reflection of Student Opinion College Community Organizes for Civilian Defense Activities President Andruss Announces Three-Year Graduation Plan National War-Time Emergency Necessitates Change In College Curriculum President Andruss announces that students will be able to complete the regular four-year curriculum leading to the bachelor of science degree in education in three calendar years under plans recently approved in Harrisburg by the board of presidents of the various state teachers college. Exetended Summer Session For some students this will be possible by attending three regular years and two twelve-week summer sessions. The new plan adds a three-week presession to the existing regular sixweek summer session and the th reeweek post-session. Freshmen will be accepted at the beginning of any semester or summer session. Students who do not desire to follow this throe-year or streamline curriculum , will be allowed to continue their college education on the four-year basis. This three-year program will enable students to begin teaching a year earlier and will reduce the present cost by approximately $200 for the four-year course. This saving, wlien added to the possibility of earning a salary of $1,200 per year results in a net gain of $1,400 for those who seek to enter the teaching profession under the three-year plan . The new plan will enable high school graduates to begin their college work at the pre-session on June 8. and will provide an opportunity Tor students to complete a college education before being called into service in the armed forces of the United States. Dates Set The college calendar for 1942-43 provides for a pre-session beginni ng on June 8, ending June 27. The regular summer session will then begin June 29 and end August 1. This is followed by a post session beginni ng August 3 and ending August 22, followed by the regular school year of two semesters of eighteen weeks I'uch , beginni ng September 14 and ending May 25.

College Birdmen Pass Flight Test Aeronautics Authority Deem Identification Cards Ne cessary The twenty Boomsburg State Teachers College students who are nearing the completion of their rigid C.P.T . course at the local airport , recently i*cceived orders direct from the Civilian Aeronautics Authority headquarters in Washington requiring all pilots to have an Airmen 's Identificatio n Card. The order closely followed the previous grounding of the student pilots until certified by a C.P.T. inspector. In order to beat the January 8, deadline , thirteen student pilots returned to Bloomsburg during the Christmas vacation and presented thei r credentials to Dr. Rishel , district C.P.T. inspector. The remainder of the students , because of their ability to procure necessary birth records at that ti m e , obt ained their essential cards after the college classes resumed. Ten of the college birdmen have al ready passed t heir flight test given by Sam Bigony, manager of the local airport . The other students are prog r es si n g ra pidly i n t his f i n al phase of tho course and expect to take their fligh t, examinations soon .

Dr. Nelson Formulates Regulations To Attain Civilian Preparedness Dramatic Club Committees and Chairmen To Become Active at Once To Reproduce Andr uss' appointment of, Broadway Flay Dr.President E. H. Nelson, Director of the Department of Physical Education , as Hart & Kaufman Comedy Will head of civilian defense for the college community came promptly after B e P res ented H ere the rise of a national emergency and January 30 a necessity for civilian preparedness. It will be Dr. Nelon 's j ob to coordinate and expedite the various activities connected with civilian defense, as they apply to the college community, in such a manner that the students may act intelligently when an emergency arises on this campus or elsewhere. This defense council will formulate rules and regulations concerning emergency procedures. This plan carried out to its limits will place Bloomsburg on a level with those of whom it will be said: "They saw an emergency and prepared for it." Immediately following his appoin tment , Dr. Neson set out to obtain this goal. After determining what activities were of paramount importance he designated the following committees and committee chairmen to become active immediately : Air-Raid Committee An Air Raid Committee is headed by Mr. William C. Forney who is assisted by Mr. Earl N . Rhodes. This committee, no doubt the most important and probably the one to attain the largest size, will be responsible for the formulation of rules and regulations regarding behavior in case of an air raid. It will determine where students are to go, and what th ey are to do in case of an actual air raid. It will instruct students in how to deal with bombs and oth er war hazards, and will be generally responsible in time of danger. Mr. Forney, the College Ai r Raid Warden , has attended classes for air raid wardens in Harrisburg. Fire Protection Committee The Fire Protection Committee is headed by Mr. Englehart and Miss R uth Hope. This committee will be organized Friday evening, January 20, Alpha Psi Omega, College dramatic fratern ity, will sponsor the Bloomsburg Players in a reproduction of Moss Hart and eGorge Kaufman 's famous Broadway play "George Washington Slept Here".

Once again we face the problem of ri gid conservation of all materia ls, not only the materials classed as luxuries but those of the necessities of life. We of this freedom loving country h ave come to cl ass t h ese two wants into one class — the necessities of life. No longer do we place automobiles , smoking tobacco and silk stockings in a category all their own. In this modern world these luxuries receive the same recognition as food, shelter , clothing and health. In order for us to conserve our needs of life we must begin by conserving our luxuri es. Should we do without more heat and electricity? No . it would be inconsistent. We would impair our eyesig ht an d endanger our health. Why not check the leak y faucets an d the reams of paper we use monthl y. The saving on these two articles alone are of great aid to our nation nn d you coul d get along with a smaller supply. You may think that the small amount of material you use will not be missed by the national government ; but if 130 ,000,000 peop le had the same idea , where woul d we stand in this national emergency, today. So before what ever you use or dispose of . no matter h ow large or smal l , please take a few minutes to consider its value; because many things , even our freedom can be lost because somebody didn 't think.

The book has a chart of women's war work as frontispiece and is illustrated with informative photographs. Its clear facts make it valuable as enlightenment and suggestive as a possible handbook. This concrete little book by Mrs. Biddle shows the matter-of-course acceptance of the woman's part in Britain's war program. For this is no mere general tribute to courage and sacrifice. It is a succinct description of the organized activities of British'women , especially in the three main types of war work—service with the army, navy If you don 't feel just right , and air forces; voluntary work among If you can't sleep at night , civilians, and work in the official If you moan and sigh, civil defense directed by the Ministry If your throat is dry, of Home Security.

R.O.T.C. training is a definite aid both in civilian and army life . At the present time when it seems inevitable that a groat many of our young men will have to enter some branch of the military service, such training would be n decided advantage.
