HOLDS INITIATION Alpha Psi Omega, the Dramatic Fraternity, held initia tion of new members Tuesday evening, December 21, after the regular Dramatic Club meeting. Qualifications for pledgees are difficul t to meet ; only those students of exceptional dramatic ability are admitted . The lucky ones initiated this year were: Anita Behler, Elsie Flail, Bernard Kane, Lucille Martino an* Janet Shank. The party went to Miss Johns to n 's apartment , known to members as the frat house. o PHI SIGMA PI FRA T SELECTS NEW PLEDGES Phi Sigma Pi held its monthly meeting in the social rooms of Science Hall, Thursday evening, December 16, 1943. Bernard Kane presided over the business meeting. The fraternity selected new pledges and the club appointed an initiation committee. Phi Sig decided to present a program for the benefit of the entire college community at some future date. After the business meeting, an interesting quiz was held testing the intelligence of the group. Julian Zinzerella took first place with Mr. Reams running a close second. o Cha pel Pro gram Shows Festive Spirit Campus Musical Organizations and Audience Participated; Miss Moore Directs On Monday, December 20, the chapel program centered around the spirit of Christmas. Members of the Women 's Chorus, Men 's Glee Club, and the audience hnd a part in the program. The program opened with the entire group singing "Silent Night. " President Harvey A. Andruss read the Scripture lesson , Luke 2:1-20. The Men's Glee Club sang three carols, "O Come All Ye Faithful ," "A Carol For Every Man " and "Angels Over the Fields Were Flying." Althea Parsel rendered a soprano solo, "Cantique de Noel," and Mr. Howard F. Fenstemaker played an organ solo, "Marche " des Trois Eois Mage."

His name comes from Saint Nicholas who was a bishop brought to Pennsylvania by the Dutch in early colonial days . But St. Nicholas was an entirely diff erent man from the j ovial Santa every child knows. St. Nicholas was a pale , lean, very saintly person .

P eace On CcVttk AUNT PENELOPE Dear Aunt Penelope, Here I am one of those last minute shoppers with four presents yet to buy. I've been so terribly rushed, and 1 know these people won't mind getting their gifts late. The horrible part is that I don't know what to get them. That's where I want your help. The whole problem in a nutshell is what to get my boy friends. I guess that statement needs a little explanation. Fh*st of all, Aunt Penelope, t h ere is an air cadet out in California that I like, then , there is the sergeant at Camp Davis, who is very interesting. Also, there is an ensign in the Navy, who is sort of my ideal, and I can't forget the sweet paratrooper I went steady with when I was in high school. I'd like to get each one of them something different. Naturally, my pocketbook is not overly flushed so bear that in mind, too . You a re so wise, Aunt Penelope, that any advice you could give me, I kno w, will help tremendously. Thanking you from the bottom of my heart, I remain A Devoted Disciple. P. S. I went ahead and solved my own problem about what to get the cutest V-12. I got him a muffler. Don 't you think he'll look sweet? B. S. T. C. Dear Devoted Disciple, Bless you , my child , for making so many of our boys happy. If every girl had your spirit, the war would j ust be beginning. Now that air cadet! Air cadets are usually shy and backward , so how about a book on "P ersonality Development?" The sergeant is a cinch—a billy club or a pinch of poison hemlock ( a buck private helped me on that one because I am not so familiar with sergeants). The sweet paratrooper you mentioned sounds interesting. How about a subscription to the Readers Digest? He could read it on the way down , and , since it is so small, he could tuck it almost anywhere. I hope these suggestions will help you. Sincerely, Aunt Penelope. P. S. My dear, would you like to give me the addresses of your three friends? Maybe I could spread a little sunshine, too. A. P. P. P. S. What type of muffler did you get that V-12? I would like to buy some for a few of my friends. ST. NICK VISITS DAY GIRLS' GROUP The clny girls celebrated the Yuletide sonson last Monday evening with a festive party held in the day room. A pretty tree, trimmed and decorated , added to their holiday spirit. The party started with the singing of several 'Christmas carols by the entire group and u vocal solo, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" from Althea Parsel accompanied by Athamantia Comuntzis. The merriment increased with a Christmas game. The highlight of the evening was the . arrival of Santa Claus with a present in his bug lor everyone. After this jovial old fellow had completed his mission and hud wished every one . a Merry Christmas, the committee served refreshments.

Such stars as Dom Principe, Fordham; Andy Stopper, Villanova; * Vic Schleich , Nebrask a; and Woitkowski , Fordham , played the entire season .

It certainly must seem strange seeing such players as Dick Bierly and Johnny Goepfort in a Maroon and Gold uniform instead of those of Kutztown and East Stroudsburg. Student Patient Cpl. George E.

Today I received copies of the M. and G. that you sent me. Thank you so much. It really made me think of the good times we all had back there. Herman Vonderheid is now located here in Denver at Lowery Field. We see each other quite often , and really have fun talking about old times. Well this is all for now.

At the end of the month of July, the Army authorities of our College Training Detachmen t agreed that I had enough preliminary training in Physics, Math , G eography, Physical Training a*id flying in light ships, to permit me to take the next step towards becoming a "conqueror of the blue." I arrived at the next step , Classification Center, on August 1. it was here in San Antonio , Texas , that the authorities next tested me by written examinations , psychological examinations and a stiff physical examination to determine whether I was to become a Pilot, Bombardier or Navigator. I was rather proud , after many stren uous hours, days, and even weeks, to hear that I had been selected to take another step in my training and to take that step in the direc tion of Piloting. Early on the first oi' September , I executed that step which carried me from the Classification Center across a road (that's actually the set-up here) to th e Preflight School for Pilo ts. I was assigned to Squadron 262 of Group S in Wing II. While there for nine weeks I studied Math , Physics, Nav al Vessel Identifica tion , Aircraf t Identification , Maps, Char ts and Aerial Photographs and , last but not least , radio and visual code. At the end of the nine weeks I found that the gremlins had carried the contagious germs of "daditosis " to me and as a resul t I failed to satisfa ctorily pass my final tests in radio and visu al code . Dadi tosis is a mythical disease, the victim of which imagines he hears da 's (dashes ) or /' and dits (dots) when he really shouldn 't. He hears code in each bugle call , the crickets chirp , the echo of shots h-om the firi ng range, the rhythm of a popular tune , etc. The n when it comes time for him to pass eight words per minute in radio code and four words per minute in visual code, he can 't discern between H (....) and S (...) or 1 (. ) a nd J (. - - -) . I was transferred to the other Wing of Prefli ght to pursue my studies for anothur four nncl i\ hall weeks. I ound myself in Squadron 30 oi' Group D in Wing I and besides taking radio and visual code again , I was compelled to take Physics and Aircraft Identification again. So oozing with the determination to win and the knowledge"' of "the score " from the other Wing, I settled down to make good in not only code but to even better myself in Physics and A. I. So ai'ter nine months ' preparation , I am sitting tiere tonight writing to one of my best friends while waiting for 2145 to roll around.

Kane. Fashion Black-for-sport is the thing today and slacks are heavy , belted flannel. For th e classroom, bright warm wools and fl annels are in vogue. A combination of black slacks and white crepe blouse has innumerable possibilities for belts. A small belt of a bright contrasting color is always good , or you can go western with wide initial ed leather. Remember that gr ay suit you have been wondering what to do with? A colorful novel belt would liven that up and make it look like a new suit. And your ski suit? Add a bright belt with a center-back pouch for compact, change and incidentals. And that tailored shirt-waist dress that j ust seems to need something? Try a wide lizard or alligator belt that dips low in the back and has a bold brass buckle. If you like trimness wear a black jersey blouse with a striped mannish cotton skir t and a simple suede belt. Don't forget that plain dresses demand good accessories, and belts are leading the styles today. For daytime, use a sturdy practical leather one. A handsome bag is necessary at all times. Inciden tally, girls, if you want a good looking bag, stitch a black satin into a suitable size, cover with crochet-mesh , and zipper it. You could not find anything more attractive. If you prefer to go exotic for one special evening , wear a black leather belt with a large silver brooch clasped at the side, and carry a hand some bag, A soft suede with the sides in terwoven by a silk cord border and handle makes a smart addition to any costume.

The Social Committee in charge of the event planned carol singing. Ench oi' the girls displayed the gift she had bought for the child whose name she had. Each year gifts are bought for the poor children of the town in hopes that these surprises will help to add the "Merry " to Christmas.

The purpose of Federal aid would be to insure a steady flow of skilled men and women in essenti al civilian war services. i The la test program proposed would give up to $75 a month to women , men disqualified for mili tary service, men under 18 who could advance far enough in their trainin g to complete their trainin g within twenty-four mon ths after becoming 18 and men deferred as bein g essen tial on the home fron t. If such students received aid , the program w o u 1 d accomplish two things. It would profit those schools whose depl eted enrollments are still at dangerous levels and provide ind ustry with greater skilled people for technical and professional positions. The plans may never reach Congress f or they uve still in u maze of committees under the War Manpow er Commission.

It's this way, Aunt Penelope:—I have a stomach that demands food. To obtain this food I must go to the college cafeteria , which is necessary, but , Aunt Penelope, I don 't seem to get anywhere in that line up. Those beastly men snarl if I so much as attempt to get in line , thus I am getting nowhere fast. What chance has a miserable civilian female against th e towering strength of the V-12 and the V-15 units. Respectfully, Wretched One.

Here are a few ideas that have worked for girls all over the cou ntry . One of them is hound to do the trick. First , you might try deception. Borrow your li ttle brother 's sailor suit , shove yo ur head (that's a}l the rage in the Navy now) and go boldly forth to conq uer. Then there is the less subtle but effective "wonde ring-foot method. " You sit by the door and as the line approach es thrust the foot out in fron t of the V-5 who is marching in. As he struggles to his feet place the .same foot on his face and using it as a spring boa rd , catapult yourself into the dinin g room. Some girls like the f eminine touch . Walk up to a sailor , preferably a weak-minded one, and say wistfully with plenty of good , "Would oo like to go into dinner with wittle me?" That ought to mage a gibbering idiot out of him and he will knock himself out gettin g you in line. I hop e these suggestions will help yo u. Sincerely, Aunt Penelope. P. S.

Once again our tour gets under way by retracing our steps to the entrance ol Noetling Hall and then walkin g northward toward Science Hall. Science Hall was erected in 1906 at a cost of $75,000. It was built to lake care of the increasing enrollment in the preparatory field of medicine; besides a number of classrooms and two large lecture rooms with lantern screens, movi e picture projectors , and other visual education app aratus , the Hall is equipped for laboratory work in biology, chemistry and physics. In the basement , which j s mostly above ground level , are located the music rooms , used for practice and teachin g, the offices of Miss Moore and Mr. Roth , and the Social Rooms, the meeting place of the campus fraternities as well as other social organizations . On the first floor are the study, lecture and labor atory rooms of the Biology and Geography Depar tment including the offices of Dr. Kuster, Dr. Russell and Mr. Gehrig. The Physics and Chemistry Department rooms and labor atories and the cilices of Mr. Shortess and Mr. Wagner are located on the second floor. When Science Hall opened , the two large rooms in the third floor were used by the li terary societies, the Fhilos and Call res. The Philogian Lilerar.v Society was organized Jn 1866 usi ng as its motto , "Speech is the im age of the mind ." Eight years later , the Calliepian Literary Society organized u nder , "Praestantia Aut Nihil. " For years the two organizations held competitive debates striving to attain the glory of being the predo minant of the two. Two of our faculty members, Mr. Fenstemaker and Dr. Nelson belonged to the societies and often reciill the humorous .situations that developed from the deb at es . Memories of the two literary societies still linger for the two stained glass windows on the west side of Noetling Hull were gifts from the Philos and Callios.

He was know n as a splendid teacher of geography in whi ch he was a recognized authority . In the latter part of his teaching career at Bloomsburg and following his retirem ent in 1926, he became known as a platform speaker and lecturer at teachers institutes. He spoke in eighteen different states fro m Maine to Alabama and as far west as Illinois and Nebraska.

In 1881 he opened the first high school of the South Side borough. For four years he served as superintendent of schools at Waynesboro , Pennsylvania , and in the fall of 1887 he returned to Bloomsburg as a member of the faculty until 1926 .
