A regular meeting of the Community Government Association Student
Council was held Monday evening,
November 22, 1943, at 7:00 o'clock, in
Room L .
Edward Manley, president, explained to the council the budget of
Community Activities for the November trimester . He also explained
the budget of the College Council.
The accaptance of the budget was
postponed pending a meeting of V-12
men with Edward Manley and Lt. J.
C. Koch on November 24, about the
S10 Activity Fee required to be paid
to the college.
Kane Announces Elections
Vice-president Bernard Kane made
an announcement that on November
17, 19 i3, the V-12 unit held elections
for representatives to C. G. A. Lt.
Thomas Everett presided over the
election; and , after much "politicking, " the following officers of the V12 unit were elected: President , G. T .
GoepJIert; Vice-President, Letcher T.
White; Secretary-Treasurer, Henry
A . Caruso , and Richard M. Langdon
and L. R. Bierly, members at large.
Officers Change
Because of a conflict with basketball practice, L. R. Bierly and G. T.
Goepxert were dropped and Thomas
?. Lee and Raymond H. Dehler were
elected in their place. The final outcome was: President , Letcher T.
White ; Vice-President , Henry A.
Caruso; Secretary-Treasurer , Richard M. Langdon , and members at
la rge , Thomas P . Lee and Raymond
H. Dehler. These men are now serving on the college council.
The council voted to accept the V12 representatives as members of the
Community Government Association
Studen t Council.
In order to acquaint the present
cou ncil members with the new represen tatives each member introduced
himself , naming his position on the
council , to the whole body.

TRAPANI ELECTED MANAGER
FOR COLLEGE YEAR BOOK
Th e Senior class elected Sam Trapani , Easton , as business manager for
the Obiter , the college year book.
Jean Ackerman will be Trapani's
assistan t. As Trapani will graduate
at the end of the present trimester, it
is necessary that someone be trained
to continue his work during the second trimester. Therefore , Jean Ackerman will assist him now and then
assume the full responsibility when
he leaves in January or February .
The Senior class last May elected
Helen Cromis as editor of the Obiter.
As soon as class dues are agreed
upon , plans for the Obiter will begin.
The members of the Senior clnss
are considering the selection of some
gift to the college as a class memorial. Sam Mazzeo and Edward Manley are a committee of two to gather
information for such memorial.

Life With Uncle
By B. W. KANE
If you've been "off" the beam , in
your writing of morale letters, y ou
can ; probably use these suggestions
printed in "Keep 'Em Flying:"
THIS MORALE BUSINESS is
funny. Everybody 's trying to boost
everybody else's morale. A civilian
tries to boost a soldeir's, while the
soldier is worried about the civilian 's.
It's like two drunks holding each
other up, except that both are sober
and can stand on their own feet. The
Jeep spends most of his time doing
j ust that.
Many girl civilians have dedicated
themselves to winning the war by
writing gay, even effectionate letters
to "the boys in the service." Girls
you hardly knew back home will
start their letters with "Elmer dear "
instead of "Dear Elmer."
In replying to these, extreme caution is a d v is ed . Sooner or later you'll
be going home on furlough. It would
be awkward to be met at the station
by 12 girls in bridal veils.
A sergeant at 36th street airport in
Miami is the only soldier we've heard
of who ever profited by writing love
letters to more than one woman. He
sells them to other soldiers at two
bits a letter.
When you get down to it, the simplest letter to write is the one that can
bring you the biggest results in morale. It reads: "Please send me five
bucks."
A Word From "Lud"

Just a card for now. I've been here
since November 8, at Sampson, New

Pvt. H. E. Miller , U. S. M. C. R.
I don 't know if the V-12's up at
Bloom are as we are, but I know
that we really appreciate it when
there is a party given for us, or
something to do to take our minds off
things. Up at B. S. T. C. I often felt
mighty free on Sundays, but I never
knew how free one could feel until
I came here.
Just put yourself in the following
routine: Up at 5:45, breakfast 6:45,
classes, 8 to 12, lunch , classes, 1:30
to 5:30, dinner, study, 7:15 to 9:30,
bed , 10:00 P. M. Of course, there are
a few spare moments which \ve always take during the day to break
the monotony, but even then after
five or six days of that "stuff" you
are really worn out. Maybe the other
fellows don 't i'eel it the way I do, but
I really appreciate that little something which the college docs for us,
and which enables to literally let our
pent-up emotions explode .

Speak For Us All
Stewavt C. Yorks , Lt.
It was grand to come back to college and see you , and the rest of my
friends still there. I have so mnny
memories of Bloomsburg. Now I
realize that I should have done more
for the college, and myself. However,
I guess many others feel the same
way. Undoubtedly, ench time I come
home, I shall come to Bloomsburg.
The last of October I saw Ehvood
Beaver in Bangor. He's a technical
sergeant in the engineering department. Wo had quite a talk. To top
oil this, I also met Howard Tonill-

son , 1st Lt., right outside of our
squadron office. He had come in from
six months at Iceland and was on
his way to Nashville for cadet (pilot )
training.
As for myself , I have been up to
my flying into Labrador and Greenland. At the present the weather is
terrible. However, some of us may
go south this winter—Atlantic, South
America , etc. Again , I say it was
good to .see you again .

From the Start
Roy Evans, Tech . Sgt.
I am a graduate of Bloomsburg,
1939 , have been in the Army for the
past three years, have received copies
of the Maroon and Gold, and have
always found them most welcome.
I would very much appreciate receiving the Maroon and Gold again .
Another member of my 1939 class,
Winfield Potfer , and a very close
friend of mine is serving overseas
with the Army, and I know that he,
too, would appreciate receiving a
copy. Please accept the sincere appreciation of us both for your efforts
in getting our Alma Mater news to
us.
More About Letters
LETTERS CAN BOOMERANG. In
his firs t messages from Miami Beach
a new Jeep invariably raves about
the sunshine, the weather, the palm
trees and the beauties of Florida
generally.
"You lucky t bum!" his friends
write back. "Getting a sun tan at
government expense while we're
snowbound up North! I'll bet you 're
playing a lot of golf , too!"
This hurts, because by this time
the Jeep has started basic training
and wants sympathy, not envy.
"Playing a lot of golf!" he snorts as
he does a column right on a fairway.
But when the soldier writes his
next letter his hand is restrained.
He's got civilian morale to think
about.
"Yes, I get out to the golf course
once in a while," he pens. "It's our
d r ill f i eld , you know. They don't let
us take our clubs, but the drill sergeant is a driver!

THANKSGIVING AT SCHOOL
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
The College community observed
Thanksgiving Day in a fashion quite
different from that of former years
but then one expects the fashions to
change.
The traditional Turkey Dinner with
all its trimmings was served at six
o'clock. College students , V-12's and
V-5's were permitted to sit at each
others tables for this special festive
occasion.
After the dinner , a juke box dance
was held in the old gym. The evening 's activities ended with a card
party in the Social Rooms of Noetling Hall.
Classes were adjourned for the
Turkey but convened early Friday
morning . THIS IS WAR!

They Smell
Joe Davidson , the sculptor , was
stopped on the streets of Paris one
day by an Arab peddler.
"Buy a carpet ," asked the Arab,
"No , no ," said Davidson. "They
smell."
"How dare you say that!" cried the
indignant Arab , drawing himself up
ha ughtily . "I'll have you know, Monsieu , that my carpets do not smell. It
is I! "

The basketball game with Army
Special Services, November 30, looks
like a piperoo. The Army lads,
known as the 89'ers , h ave met with
success in all their previous onslaughts , and do not plan to be deterred from, a perfect season at this
time. Fort Dix , Indiantown Gap , and
Gettysburg have fallen before these
ball tossers.

This reporter had the opportunity
of speaking wi th 'one of the most
prominen t athletes that ever set foot
on B. S. T. C. soil. Lt. James Lalanne , the former "Sweet Lalanne "
of the North Carolina Tar Heels, is
at present the physical instructor for
the local V-5 program , but he expects to be transferred during the
early par t of December to the Iowa
Pre-Fligh t Station at Iowa City .
Sweet Lalanne played Freshman
and three years of varsity football
for the University of North Carolina
and graduated from tha t institution
in 1940.
Most Thrillin g: Game
The Lieutenant was asked what
game or games were to him the most
thrilling. His answer was the contests with the University of Pennsylvania and Tulane. We had to divulge the facts for ourselves, Lalanne
never mentioned the first person
singular , and this is what we found
concerning these two gam es.
Final Season
It was during Lal anne 's final season that the Tav Heels visited Frank lin Field , the home grounds of the
University of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was favored over the Tar
Heels—The Tar Heels trounced the
Pennsylvanians.
Lalanne figured in on every North
Carolina toucj idown. He passed for
three six-pointers and ran thirty
yards for the fourth t. d. The Lieutenan t's run and two of his touchdown passes came within the incredible space of two and a half minutes. Never before had any team
accomplished this feat against the
Quakers .
Tulan e Game
The Tulane game was another
thriller . Tulane had one of their
best teams in years and was highly
favored over the Tar Heels. The
Green W ave was leading 14-0 with
only five min utes of play remaining.
North Carolina didn 't win that game,
but during the remaining five minutes th ey not only matched Tulane 's
14 poin ts, but missed opportunities
of winning as three attempted field
goals missed the target.
Lalanne Lea ves Soon
Lt. Lalanne will soon be leaving
for Iowa City . In football terms, his
transferring would be classed as a
touchdown for Iowa; a loss for
Bloomsburg.
