STUDENT TEACHER SPEAKS
AT BUSINESS EDUC. CLUB
Three members of the Department
of Business Education , Joyce Hay,
Ann Sabol and Sam Mazzeo, gave an
insight into student teaching at the
meeting' of the Business Education
Club on February 3.
t The three students, who had taught
in the Bloomsburg and Danville High
Scho ols , presented interesting resumes of their experiences. They
discussed such things as overcoming
nervousness, action with disciplinary
problems, preparation of lesson plnns,
and the necessity for changes in the
plan to meet individual class needs.
The prospective teachers related
many amusing incidents in their
teaching, and concluded by advising
the club members to closely observe
the methods used by their teachers as
an invaluable aid in their own teachi ng,

Latest addition to the staff at
Bloomsburg is Lt. J. G. Vincent C.
Olshefski , M. C, who replaces Lt. J.
G. M. Schiff , M. C. now in training
at the Amphibious Forces Base, New
River, North Carolina.
Dr. Olshefski has recently returned
to this coun try from the Southwest
Pacific area . While in the South Seas,
Dr. Olshefski was medical officer in
the C. B.'s (Construction Battalion) .
Dr. Olshefski, whose home is in Mt .
Carmel , Pa., studied Pre-medical at
Bucknell University and Penn State
College. In 1939? he was graduated
from the Hahnemann Medical College at Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia , Pa.
While in college, Lt . J . G. Olshefski belonged to Phi Kappa fra ternity,
and during that time actively engaged in baseball, basketball and soccer.
Following the completion of his internship at Potts ville Hospital, Potts ville, Pa., Dr. Olshefski established
his practice in Mt. Carmel.
In August , 1942 , realizing the crying need for doctors in war zones,
Dr. Vincent C. Olshefski offered his
services to the Navy. The Navy did
not hesitate, and shortly after, Lt. J.
G. Olshefski found himself attached
to the Norfolk Naval Operating Base,
Norfolk , Va. It was here that he became acquainted with the heroic and
gallant work of the C. B.'s. It was
from here tha t Lt . Olshefski moved
into the Southwest Pacific area with
the C. BAs.
Having served in that area for a
six-month period to their complete
satisfaction the Navy decided Lt. J.
G. Olshefski deserved a rest. In the
latter part of September , 1943, the
Lieutenant found himself back on
American shores once more.
Following his service in the Pacific
area , Dr. Olshefski was attached to
th e Philadelphia Naval Hospital at
Philadelphia until January 18, 1944 ,
at which time he was transferred to
the Naval unit at B. S. T . C.
Dr. Olshefski is married and both
his wife and his two and a half year
old daughter are nearby. So it was
no surprise when asked what he
thought of Bloomsburg he said simply , "Pretty Nice. "

SOCIAL ROOMS OPEN

general chairman.
To be at Elks
The dance is to be held at the Elks
Club from 8:30 to 12:30. Frank

PRESIDENT H.A. ANDRUSS
ATTENDS SENATE HEARING

On Tuesday, February 1, President
Harvey A. Andruss attended the Senate Commerce Sub-Committee hearing in Washington, D. C, on C. P. T.
training in colleges all over the United States.
In chapel Friday, February 4, he
explained the 'present conditions.
Since Army Air Force casualties
have been so far below expectation,
and there is a super abundance of
trained fliers, the War Department is
cancelling certain training programs
in colleges and universities having
air crew training. Nearly 1000 colleges, universities, teacher colleges,
normal schools and j unior colleges
will be effected.
The colleges and airports are not
willing to have this training ended,
because they have set aside their facilities and faculties to do a preliminary job for the Federal Government
to further the war eflort. Expenditures have been made by colleges and
airports and faculties have had to accustom themselves to teach in other
fields. They do not want to give'up
their facilities j ust because the Government has built their own, So the
representatives urge the committee
as much as they can to continue the
C. P. T. program for five years after
its expiration date of July 1, 1944.
Witnesses at the hearing included
besides President Andruss, Dr, Everett Needham Case, president of Colgate University ; Dr. T. A. Disler,
(Pleaae Turn to P age Two)

College Host to
High School Gir ls
The administration has approved
the opening of the new gym two evenings of every week for the college
girls. According to this program the
girls will have access to any of the
facilities every Monday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 10:00.
Each week one of the two evenings
will include the girls from the neighboring high schools. On the other
evening of the week, the gym will be
open exclusively to the college girls.
There will be cage ball at 7:00, basketball at 8:00, ping pong and badminton tournaments until 10:00 and
swimming throughout the entire evening. Miss Lucy McCamtnon will
supervise all activities. The B Club
will be helping with the promotion of
this plan.
The program will provide a recreational center within the college.
Best of all, however, -will be the increase in B Club points and the decrease in waistline measurements.

COLLEGE WOMEN GATHER
FOR FUN FROLIC FEB. 11

Friday , February 11, found the day
and dorm girls rushing to the old
gym for the annual 4-F Party . No,
this 4-F refers to Farrnette Fall Fun
Frolic. The postponement of the party since last November rightly changes it to a 3-F Party .
The party ran from 7:00 to 10:00
P. M. All women of the faculty and
faculty wives were guests of the college girls.
Poletime Comuntzis was chairman
of the games and program committees. Pauline Niles was chairman of
the refreshment and advertising committees. Those helping the chairmen
were: Refreshments, Helen Fehl, Kay
Kurilla; Advertising, Margaret Latsha , Shirley Williams; Games, Athamontia Comuntzis, Jacqueline Shaffer , Anita Behler; Program, Eltheda
Klingaman , Frances Saunders, and
Evelyn George.
The program included round and
square dancing, relays, races and refreshments. Costumes ranged from
scarecrows to sharecroppers.

A "Peace Angelus has been instituted on the Westminister College
campus and is being observed daily
in coopera tion with a movement
started by two young boys of the Ben
Avon Presbyterian Church. Each
evening at seven, the victory bell in
"Old Main " tower is rung as a signal
for one minute of silent prayer. Students and townspeople are asked to
stop whatever they are doing when
they hear the bell and offer prayer
for peace.
Since the idea was started in the
Pittsburgh area about November 1, it
has spread rapidly to many communities where residents feel that sincere
prayer will help to prepare them for
the sacrifices that must come with a
durabl e and j ust peace.

B. S. T. C.
Penelope:
Dear Aunt
I attended that open meeting of C.
G. A. a few weeks ago and listened
to a very interesting discussion on the
Social Rooms of B. S. T. C. However , there were several terms used
in the discussion that puzzles me.
What is misconduct, Aun t Penelope ,
and what do they mean by necking?
I want to use those social rooms intelligently, but how can I if I don 't
know what is frowned on by the college community .
Sincerely,
A. Dope.
Dear Dope:
Naturally you want to do the right
thing, and I am j ust the person to
help you do just that.
First , to clear up those two terms—
misconduct is simply the popular indoor spor t of osculation. The other
t erm "necking," obviously means to
wash the neck. Now you can see,
Dear , tha t the social rooms are not a
place for a part-bath . Well, that
clears that up, doesn 't it?
If you find , however, th at your
young man insists on a little osculation in the social rooms, you might
try the following methods:
As he bends toward you to plant a
kiss on your langee dip your head
suddenly to the side and bit him in
the j ugular vein of the neck. This
will prove fatal , but it's a cinch he
won't bother you any more.
I hav e seen some foolish girls say
"no " firmly bu t "no " means the green
light to the average male and there
is no fu ture in that. It would be
much smarter to say "No , Rudolph , I
only like you as a brother." He 'll
love That.
I have also tried the "shove your
index finger in his eye " method. Its
mossy but effective.
A more suble but just as effective
i way is the "onion breath approach. "
There is a chance he may have eaten
t hem t oo , so be prepared.
Well, there they are dear. Take
them i'o ivwhnt they are worth. I am

• The ending of this trimester will
see a handful more of our Seniors on
'he accelerated program graduating.
Among them will be Pauline Niles ,
Marj ory Sharretts and Stella Williams. Befor e they leave, let's take
;i farewel l look at them.
Pauline Niles
During the three years since she
entered B. S. T. C. as a transfer from
the Penn State Center at DuBois, we
have known her as Pauline Garey. A
trip out to Oklahoma during the
Christmas vacation changed this.
There, on New Year 's Day, she became Mrs. Hugh S. Niles. This is all
in keeping with the best of Bloomsburg traditions as "Red" was a graduate of B. S. T. C. last Jan uary. Thus
you have the explanation for Polly 's
walking through the halls with an
"out of this world" expression on her
a";ice. Polly, maj oring in languages,
plans on teaching— at least, for the
the duration.
Margre Sharretts
Another Senior who graduates in
February is Marge Sharretts. Marge
has her loyalty divided between the
Day Women and the Dorm Women as
she has been a member of both organizations. It's been rumored that
Marge 's thoughts are not always centered on Bloomsburg. Her interest
in historical figures is amazing—
Grant in particular . This year Marge
has been what is known as "one of
those poor elementary student teachers." Bear up, Marg e, it will soon
all be a lovely memory.
Stella Williams
Even though she may be a dignified Senior now, remember the night
of the Frosh Kid Party when Stella
Williams , dressed in a little girl's
party dress, was wearing herself out
j itterbugging with Kenny Morse?
And she hasn 't lost any of that vivacious energy. Proof of the fact is that
she served so capably as general
chairm an of the Senior Ball and
Banqu et. Dor 't lose that spirit, Stella , when you start in as as elementary teacher. As for here at college,
Stella 's younger sister, Shirley , will
carry on.
The coaching staff of B. S. T. C.
had vivid dreams of the prospective
ma terial that should be in a V-12
uni t. When this staff realized that
such a small contingent was being
sen t 1o them, their dreams collapsed.
Actually there was no need for any
angu ;sh. With such athletes as Richard Bierly, Bernard Ganley and Edward Vogelsong attendin g the college
its athletic future brightened.
Dick Bierl y
The fac t that Dick Bierly 's name
usually heads the scoring columns of
Bloo m sb u rg 's papers is not at all
strange. Dick began leading his track
in points scored quite early. When
he was in the seventh grade , Bi erly
scored the only point that was made
by his intra-mural team. This was
his firs t basketball game.
Bierly graduated from Kutztown
High School. Later he attended the
Kutztown State Teachers College,
where he was coached by the present
V-5 Cadet physical instructor , Lt.
(S. G.) McGovern.
Bierly was outstanding at Kutztown in soccer and track as well as
biisketball.
Incidentally Dick leuves for advanced trainin g In February .
Bornic Ganle y
The Navy is far from new to Bernie Ganley. Before ho enlisted he
shipped on a Great Lukes freighter.
Perhaps Bernie didn 't like the water

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
Yesterd ay as I passed by the Maroon and Gold office, I noticed once
more that the C. G. A. plaque, outside of this office , did not bear the
names o£ ouv 1942-43 Presidents,
Eoyd Buckingham and Joanne Fice.
In former years the additional
metal strip with the engraved names
would be up by the end of that year.
Is this due to an oversight , indifference , or is this , too, to be blamed on
shortage and priori ties again?
Both Boyd and Joanna were wellliked by the entire college community not only for their amicable personalities but also for their capability in handling and execution of the
responsibilities as C. G. A. Presidents.
During the past year many have
noticed the absence of the names on
this plaq ue and said nothing concerning it, but as members of the Community Government Association , it is
about time we were given a satisfactory reply.
An Interested Membei .
too well. If he did not, the fact that
he is now a prospective V-5 candidate is qui te phrasible. Ganley has
already acquired a pilo t's license and
has twenty-five solo hours.
Ganley gr aduated from Indiana
High School and then attended Indiana St ale Teachers College. He
was outstanding in track , football
and basketball at both high school
and college .
Bernie 's defensive basketball, as
well as his sparkling floor game played for B . S. T. C, is well worth mentioning .
Eddie Vogelsong
The small and agile Eddie Vogelsong is indeed a credit to the East
Stroudsburg State Teachers College.
While still a Freshman, Eddie played
varsity basketball for East Stroudsburg. The unique ball handling of
this black haired lad has a definite
place on the college quintet. Eddie 's
shortness would seem to be to his
disadvan tage. What he lacks in
h eight is more than compensated by
his def tness.
Vogelsong is a gradua te of Mechanicsburg High School.. He was
majoring in Physical Education at
college.
Bloomsburg is glad to have Eddie
play for the Huskies instead of
against them as he did the previous
y ear.

By JOHN GILMA N

Summer was hot and dry . Dust
stifled the land. It seeped deep into
the people causing their blood to dry
up. It entered the soils, blasting them
with hffa t and dryness. Finally all
was dri ed and dusty. The rivers gave
but a trickle, bodies moved little and
thought was but a trickle, too. Noth ing stirred in the souls except a
meaningless wondering.
Autumn came. It was cooler and
dryer. Both bodies and land seemed
almost dead. The souls did seem
completely dead. At the end cold
rains came. They were useless. They
made need of the rivers, need of the
blood and dust in the bodies, mud of
the sorrow and discord in the souls.
Winter followed and held them in
its grasp. It froze the mud of the
land , it froze th e mud of the body
and of the soul. Nature covered it all
with a blanket of white, ashamed of
herself.
But now it is spring, early spring.
The rivers are swollen, brown, carrying off the ice cakes. The poor soil.
The soul and body are in flood stage
too . Illnesses break up and depart,
sorrows are washed away.
The sky clears, the waters abate.
The land becomes fresh, green. It
promises a good year. The bodies become vibrant , the soul stir free . They
too , promise abundan t growth. The
people unite, the souls unite in prayer. The people, souls and earth reunite. All promise of the wonders to
be done.
All our crops start, all our new life,
all my green bosom swell with plants.
Surely by our uni ty we have beaten
the blast that withers crops, that
dries up souls tha t destroy the body.
Surely abundance will be ours forevermore.
Then it is summer. Man forgets
his promise to earth. The land grows
tired and does not work. The soul
shrivels, the dust and heat close in,
suffoc ating annihilating. The cycle
ib comple te.
Many will remember S/Sgt. Peter
DeRose at the college. His brother
James was president of one of the
classes abou t six years ago . Peter attended B. S. T. C. but never did get
to finish because of the war . But I
am sure the faculty will remember
both of ihem. Well, anyhow, Peter is
working in our Group Headquarters
which is a ttached to our Squadron.
So w-2 often get together and drew
the f at about the college , recalling
people , places, etc. It is really swell
to hav e someone like that. Incidentally, Peter and I used to live next
door to each other.
I also met Lt. Bill Davies here
about three weeks ago. But he is now
nt March Field in California with a
B-17 outfit. He looks good and is
j ust as full of fun as he ever was. I
met John Thomas about three months
ago in Salt Lake City . So you see,
you do meet old college friends all
over the country .

WHEN I MET YOU
When I met you my life seemed
young,
As though all things had just begun
Things were so different from the
start,
When you placed gladness in my
heart.
When I met you the sun was bright,
The flowers and trees a gorgeous
' sigh t.
The whole world danced before my
eyes,
My heart gave many fluttering sighs.
^
When I met you I knew for me
My life was like the rolling sea,
And in my heart there was a wave,
Of thoughts and memories that you
gave.
When I met you a friend I found ,
Sincere and kind and very sound.
And so the years roll on their way,
I'll always dream of you each day.

ROVIN G REPORTER
In the halls of B. S. T. C. there are
many opinions ' on -every subject. In
this column will appear the quoted
opinions of members of the student
body on some question of interest to
the group at a whole. This week the
question asked by your "Roving Reporter " of students was: "Wha t is
your opinion on F ederal subsidy of
Education?" Here are some of the
replies:
Frank Schreiber say s, "Federal
subsidy of education will be just another step toward a socialistic state,
although ed ucation does not need a
definite boost."
Shirley Wolfe says, "Federal subsidies could give small schools many
advantages not available through local school districts."
Bernard Kane says , "At the present time most of our states have sufficien t funds to finance public education , using the same satisfactory
methods which produced the thinking men and women who are doing
so much for America on every battlefront in the world. From the point
of view of state 's rights, educators
cannot accept Federal subsidies without running the risk of Federal control. The Federal Government controls education , they can establish a
curriculum which may so shap e the
minds of our youths that we will lose
the true Americanism we hold so
precious.

V-12 LIF E !
Life among the V-12's took a
rather abrupt change—for .the better—this week. The installation of
the new system of student officers
has helped a lot in maintaining study
conditions and discipline.
The announcement that restricted
men could not attend the February
18th dance was really a shock. No
previous mention had been made and
ail the men had their plans made.
One fellow on the restricted list
after hearing the news said , "What
am I gonna do? I just sent my girl
bus fare , paid my admission fee and
rented a room for her. To top it off ,
she just bought a new gown too." InThere are possibilities that the teresting dilemna!

At half time, evenly matched playing brought the score to 24-22 in

The varsity came in second in a

night, when they lost to Muhlenburg

Much to the surprise of the 3,000
fans, the Huskies showed the mighty

40 points before the game and after
the first 10 minutes it looked like a
safe bet. The Mules had the combination of the Teachers' zone def ense
and racked up a 19 to 4 lead in no
time.
Mules Are Stubb orn
Hank Baietti, former Long Island
U. AU-American flipped them in frequently , with Dick Miller of Bethany
winging long ones, and "Mel" Munson, 6 foot 3 center, laying in his
share. These three boys covered the
stratosphere surrounding the basket
rather efficiently. If the ball wouldn 't
go through the first time, they merely tapped it around till it made the
point. Thus, it appeared that the
Huskies were in for a tough night.

Coach Julian sent in subs then ,

With "Red" Graham playing a mighty hot game, the boys from Bloom
had narrowed it down to a 7 point
margin. The game ended with Muhlenburg leading by 16 points.
