Discuss Problems Relevant to Social Rooms, Athletics and Finances A student delegation consisting of Boyd F. Buckingham, Ruth Ebright, Joanna Fice, Jeanne Knight, Winton Laubach, Louise Madl, Harold Miller, George Miller and Miss Ranson traveled to Mansfield to attend the Fifth Annual Conference of Associated Student Governments of the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania held at Mansfield State Teachers College on November 13 and 14, 1942. The two-day program began with an Open Meeting at 10:00 A. M.s Friday, followed by panel discussions in the morning and afternoon. That evening the delegation enj oyed a dance at the Student Center and were admitted as guests of the college to a movie in Straughn Hall. Saturday morning after some campus tours, final meetings were held and a summary of the panel discussions was given. In the afternoon the delegates attended the Lock HavenMansfield football game and in the evening they were again college guests at a concert given by the Don Cossack Russian Chorus. Some of the more pertinent subjects of discussion were: College spirit and tradition—how itj should be promoted. Work of Faculty Advisers, Club Membership, and Office Holding and Problems of Student Councils. On the last subj ect, Bloomsburg presented its problem in getting social rooms, while others presented their problems in athletic and finances. Some of the other problems were centered about curtailing social programs or extending them to include more than just the week-end—a condition exactly opposite that existing in Bloomsburg. Jeanne Knight led the general discussion on War Activities on the College Campus and from all indications Bloomsburg is doing a fine jo b with its Men-In-Service Committee, its weekly paper, its First Aid Classes and its War Stamp Sales.

The business meeting began with a discussion and revision of the policy concerning girl cheer leaders. It was suggested that C. G. A. provide in its budget for next semester for outfits for the cheer leaders. It was further suggested that the cheer leaders provide their own outfit this semester. The policy was unanimously accepted and it was voted that the policy as accepted be submitted to President Andruss for his approval. The president announced that the gym would be open from 12:00 noon to 9:30 P. M., and at the end of the month the deans would give their decisions regarding this arrangement. A heated discussion followed concerning social problems centered about the cadets on campus, but the matter was dropped when Mr. Koch said he would take care of the Situation It was further announced that President Andruss would open a room to be used as a social room for the remainder of the semester during which time the students are on trial. The council and the student body will be responsible for the care and management of the room and for proper conduct. A report of the C. G. A. meeting held at Mansfield was scheduled for Chapel on Friday, November 20, 1942. jfh M. & G.

And after January comes around and Uncle Sam gets a lot more of our college f ellows, the girls are going to have more and more to do with making Bloomsburg run. When the fellows leave, and of course we all hate to see them go, the girls like to feel they are doing their patriotic bit, too, for their country. Here are just a few of the things the girls in the dorm are doing: First, there is that little thing called morale. One of the .best ways to keep it is to write letters . And that is j ust what the girls are doing. Bill and Charlie have quite a pile of letters to post every night for the giris—and a high percentage are going to our boys. G. A.

CLU B Miss Harriet Bailey, local attorney and Columbia County Solicitor, addressed the Business Education Club at its meeting on November 19, in the social rooms of Noetling Hall. Miss Bailey spoke on "What is Expected of- the Graduate When He Enters the Business World." A timely and interesting subj ect in which Miss Bailey discussed her own experiences and observations. Some of the points of advice that were given the members were that •each person should have a great ambition for some particular thing and strive to succeed in it. There is no time for rest in this, world, you must work for you only get a return equal to your effort. You should learn to accurately j udge people, and be careful with whom you deal. Miss Bailey also discussed personal dress in the business world and the common and most noticeable shortcomings of the teaching profession, as a remedy for which she suggested more participation and cooperation in civic affairs.

The Dayroom ha s been brightened considerably by the exotic, alluring and captivating picture of Rita Hayworth. The picture is dedicated to the fighting Daymen all over the world. Some kind soul was thoughtful enought to cut it out of a . magazine. The "Black Hole of Calcutta " is daily inhabited by Schleider, "PrettyBoy" Bunge, Miller, "Spreader " McCutcheon and Conrad.

Coach Buchheit will be well blessed with veterans this season, and Husky court fans will be counting on another good quintet. Under Coach Buchheit, Bloomsb urg has been on an exceptionally high level, and for the last five years the Huskies have had no more than five defeats in any one season. Last year the record was 8 wins and 4 losses. In each of these past years the Huskies lost the title by one or two games. This is the year for the State Teachers College Crown to visit Bloomsburg. Five varsity veterans remaining who played all o*r much of last year are: Chesney, McClosky, P ufnak , Valente and Washvilla. Others also with varsity experience are: Bomboy, Shearer a n d Niles. This roster along with other boys expected to report ought to be good enough to take any Teacher College team over the eoalg. Lock Haven football fans are still wondering what happened to their Bald Eagles last Saturday when they were held to a 6-6 tie by Mansfield. The week before Mansfield was soundly trounced by Indiana 33-0, who in September lost to Lock Haven, 21-7. Probably the Bald Eagles were worn out from the West Chester tilt. This fray just about spelled doom for Lock Haven in their quest for the mythical title. East Stroudsburg came up with a surprising 26-0 win over West Chester which virtually clinches the crown for the Big Red. West Chester was beaten by its own game as the Pocono boys scored three of their four touchdowns by way of the aerial route. "Pistol Pete" Pasko, "that man again " tallied one of East Stroud's six pointers. Pasko plays Sources from East Stroud say that four of last year's starting five will be back defending the basketball title . . . Pasko, Mascavage, Sager and Ford. Bob Dixque is the only member not back. Two western Pennsylvania college soccer teams, Grove City and Slippery Rock, both experimenting recently with soccer, staged a game last Friday with Grove City winning, 2-0 . . . It is probable that all of the 13 State Teachers Colleges in the conferences will continue basb-afVioll Kutztown's gridiron team, h eld scoreless since 1940 until October 31 when they took Indiantown Gap, apparently liked the idea of scoring. The following week the Berks County boys tallied another six points although losing to Clarion 19-6. ODDITIES OF SPORTS—Scoring in football is very peculiar, and when Georgetown won over Temple 3-2, in 1939 it was only the third time in the last fifteen years that such a §cor© was posted . . . Just two weeks ago two small midwest colleges met. Grinnell, Iowa, took Hipon, 50-25 to make it sound like basketball. w ^ Failure It's disconcerting to have failed When one has tried his best, But failures add experience; So don 't decide to rest, But manfully resume the task Or e'en again begin, And overcome old obstacles And in due time you'll win.

Harry John a transfer from Penn State, will also be available. Phil Yeany, Bloomsburg, is another veteran also back. New Players Report Many Freshmen reported at the initial drill, and with all J.

Tony Petro, Roland Kemler, Ted J ur asik , Clifton Skow, Bob Taylor and Michael Remetz are new boys reporting but several more will probably make bids for the squad.
