Pa u ling and Chorus Will Give
EDUCATIONAL REVISION
Pro gram In Chap el on M ay 1

Miss Betty Burnham represented
the Business Education Club at the
47th annual convention of the Eastern Commercial Teachers Associat ion , which was held in Philadelphia
during the Easter vacation .
In her report to the club on April
20 , Miss Burnham presented high
lights from the convention. The
theme of the convention, "Post-War
Planning in Business Education." Of
speci al interest were various systems of shorthand which are coming
into prominence. They included
Speedscript and Stenolype. The new
shorthand keyboard typewriter was
also 'explained to the group.
Miss Burnham told of the intensified teaching of typewriting demonstrated at the convention. She also
presented helpful suggestions for
more effective transcription methods.
Mr. W. S. Rygiel, club sponsor, attended the convention and commented on business applicants lack of
training in certain phases of commercial, work. Several speakers noted that one of the outstanding faults
of beginning workers is the inability
to follow directions.
The various literature which Miss
Burnham and Mr. Rygiel obtained at
tire convention will be placed in the
library for ref erence.

Harrisburg, Pa., AP—Reduction of
Pennsylvania 's state teachers colleges
from 14 to 6 was called for on April
19 by the Association of College
Presidents of Pennsylvania in a program which also advocated drastic
revision of the Commonwealth's educational administrative system.
The association representing 56
colleges and universities, urged that
the remaining eigh t existing teachers
schools "be used for the vocational
and welfare needs not now adequately provided for in the State."
Another recommendation asked
the State Legislature to increase the
powers of the State Council of Education , now an advisory body, and
make it "responsible for the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction. "
It also asked for a change in present law so that the Superintendent
of Public Instruction be appointed
by the council with the approval of
the Governor "for a term of six
y ears " and that he "shall not be a
member of the State Council of Education. "
The Association also advocated establishment of 4,000 four-year scholarships. 1,000 to be awarded each
year, "for undergraduate study leading to a baccalaureate degree and
useable in any college or university
in Pennsylvania, approved by the
State Council of Education."
_ r\
The scholarships, which would be
competitive, would have a value of
$300 for a college year of two 16For ty-two commercial , elementary week terms or its equivalent.

TO BE UNUSUAL PROGRAM

Instead of the usual three-day
commencement, this year 's graduating class will have a two-day commencement because of transportation
diffi culties.

SATU RDAY, AP RIL 29, 1944

Horizo ns to Wide n
The postwar period will see opportunity for college training extended to all Americans who can benefit
from it, regardless of their financial
status. This opinion is expressed by
Dr. David D. Henry, executive vicepresident of Wayne University, in t he
introduction to his annual report.
"Our nation ," he states, "will implement the equalization of opportunity so tha t no longer will highereducation be available j ust to those
who happen to be able to pay their
way. I think we can saf ely prophesy
that in the years ahead there w:ll be
a demand for higher education unparalleled in the history of the nation or of the world. "
Dr. Henry also forecast that , with
the coming of peace, collegiate education will l'oresake narrow specializa tion and will be re-establ.shed
upon a broader cult ural basis.
"We recognize , " he declares, "that
the narro w specialization of universi ty education today, forc ed upon our
institutions .by the war , does not rep resent the kind of balanced education
which universi ties traditionall y provide. Specializa tion has its place,
bu t the great tradition of higher
learning encompasses also the philosophies , t he scien ces , the humanities ,
and all those subj ects which have to
do with human relations in a civilized world. The day will come, w hen
vic t ory is w on , when we shall find
higher education returnin g to its normal balance.
"Men and women ," he concludes ,
"will be hu ngry for the intellectual
nourishment which has been denied
to them , a n d co mm uni t ies w ill be

WHERE HAS OUR
SOCIAL LIFE GONE?

What 'has happened to the social
life at Bloomsburg? Are there going
to be no more social activities from
now until the end of the year? The
hist dunce for nil members of the college community was right after the
opening of the March trimester. More
persons attended the dance than, any
other single function since last September. Everyone there certainly
seemed to be having a good time.

EMILY SAYS...
Etiquette! The word itself causes
many a soul to stiffen and cringe at
the very mention of it. Really, it is
qui te a simple thing . Good manners
are based almost entirely on kindness. The rest of etiquette is based
on convenience of form and the wish
to make life decora tive and interesting.
We all enj oy doing tha t which we
do well. This column "Emily Says— "
aims to give helpful hin ts to those
who would cultivate the social graces so impor tant in every-day living.
The first topic to be discussed is
that of "Introductions. " Answered
will be questions such as "Must a
woman always rest when introduced?
Is there more than one correct way
of making an introduction? When ,
if ever, is a woman introduced to a
man? Wh en may one introduce oneself? Wh at would or might you do
if you were introduced as* 'Dope ' instead of 'Stope '?"
Until then—don 't spill your tea or
drink from the saucer!

Aunt Penelo pe

DORSEY ORCHESTRA
TO PLAY AT DANCE

There is a word of hauntin g beauty to every newspaperman or woman; a word of sublime meaning; a
word that is like a chicken dinner to
a starving man; like a drink of water
to a man on the Sahara without a
canteen; like a drink (not water) to
a dipsomaniac; like a bottle ol hairrestorer to Rudy Tezak . . . and that
word is Filler. Now, to the uninitia ted , this word may have no meaning,
so in order to educate you fur ther
along j ournalistic lines, following is
a definition of the aforementioned
word.
It' s like this; early to bed and early
to rise makes a man gather no moss,
which allows us to draw the conclusion that ratchets are small so take
six . And do remember this, my child ,
when you go out into the world, and
profit by these words; the rose bowl
isn 't filled with roses but the dust
bowl is filled with dust. And if you
put ten cents in you can talk for six
minutes, but that's only af ter seven
o 'clock , and you can't talk then anyway because Fred Waring is on. It
might be opportune to mention at
this time that this is a prize-winning
contest, so tear the wall paper from
your living room walls and send it
to us with a self-addressed stamped
truck and we'll shoot the chassis to
you, lassies.
Always keep your galoshes on even
when it isn't raining, because you
never know when you 'll get run
down with a bicycle, and you do
want to die with your boots on, don 't
you?
Another main point is that chlorophyll is just a mixture of Scotch
rusk and Mail Pouch , so don ' t be
afraid of it. Well, not more than four
or five times, baby. And to get to the
point, if you want to have your wash
on the line Monday morning before
any one else, stay up all Sunday
night and do it.
In conclusion , it is probably rather
obvious to you by now, what t he
meaning of the word FILLER is! So
I will not explain it any further at
present, but no doubt there will be
more of the same in future issues.
Also , it must also be obvious that
the title of this little epic is merely
to catch the reader 's eye. Af ter all,
who said that Doi\sey,'s orches t ra wa s
going to play at B. S. T. C? He must
be playing at a dance somewhere.

Dear Aunt Penelope:
B. S. T. C.
I am an ardent fan of yours and I
noticed in your policy that you can
give advice on the art of getting and
maintaining an A. Those eightweeks grades are coming up and
frankly I am worried. How about it,
can you help me?
Sincerely,
An Ardent Student .
Dear Ardent Student:
B. S. T. C.
You should see my files on "AGetting ." Did you know that your
Aunt Penelope was the person responsible for the phenominal success
of the Jukes and the Kailikak' s?
Great statesmen such as Mussolini
consult me before making any decisions. I have guided more people
down the ladder of success than the
head boss of Had es.
Here are a few "g ems " from my
collection. Fla ttery is useful on both
male and female professors. Tell him
he is the best teacher, outside of ten
or fif teen others, in B. S. T. C.
Act helpless! Nothing is more appealing to an instructor than that
blank wondering expression alter lie
has spent an hour explaining a term.
He'll dote on it.
Always give advice freely. Teachers , especially experienced ones, love
to be told how to teach. After all
this is a teachers college.
Now I'll tak e the nasty little item
the "test." Try first to talk the instr uctor out of it. Tell him you dpn 't
understand the material. Tell him
any thing that will prevent the test.
If , ho wever , all these things fail and
the test is inevitable you must prepare for it. There are many ways to
transport information from a text
book to a test paper. It can be carried in the head but that's silly and
not much fun. I like to write the information under red nail polish on
my finger nails. Then when I see
something in the test Unit I don 't
know I peal off the polish and there
is the dope.
Another method is V-mail. Send
your text book to the nearest V-mail padour or back of the tongue of your
center and have it made into a con- shoe.

And despite the war-time trend , they
are in no big rush to get married.
These facts are revealed in a campus
survey of attitudes toward engagement and marriage in a sociology
class. The conclusions were based
on the answers of 95 university women , the average age of the group
being 19. A romantic 18 per cent
said "love at first sight" was a requisite to a happy marriage, but an
impressive 82 per cent thought there
is nothing to it. They also agreed
that 25 is the ideal marriage age for
men , and 23 for women.

BISONS DOWNS HUSKIE S

IN HOME OPENER

B. S. T. C: Nine Bow 9-6 in the
First Baseball Row of
Season
Bucknell, having opened their season earlier in the week with a win
over Elizabeth College, marred th e
opening of the Huskies' baseball season last Saturday by pounding out a
9 to 6 victory. But it was a battle
all the way with the Huskies improving as the innings went along.
Bucknell Takes Lead
Bucknell obtained a commanding
lead in the initial inning when with
two men away, two Bloomsburg errors followed by two singles gave the
Bisons a three-run lead. However,
the Huskies marked two on their
side of the ledger following Gezich's
triple and a Bucknell error in the
home-team half of the first, and in
the second, Kenealy , waiting on third
after pounding out a three bagger,
scored on Don Gleasner 's pinch hit
single.
The guests then proceeded to put
the game on ice with four big runs in
the top of the fifth. Again the locals
bounced back and went on the warpath. Burns, who hurled effective
ball for the opponent , became wild
and walked three men in succession.
Catcher Kenealy brought the Huskies
within one run of tying the score
when he immediately cleared the
bases with a tremendous homer into
deep center field.
Bucknell Pushes Over
The score remained 7 to 6 until the
visitors' half of the eighth at which
time Bucknell pushed over two runs
—and th at was the ball game .
Gil Sitler started on the mound
for the Huskies and hurled good ball
f o r" an opening game of the season.
Don Gleasner, a V-5 who has hurled
semi-pro ball, pinch hitted for Gil in
the second frame and finished the
game.
The box score shows that Bucknell
collected their nine runs on fourteen
hits while Bloom garnered six runs
on seven hits.

Pvt. Loren L. Collins.
Yes! I was transferred from the
Engineers to the Air Corps. But that
isn't all. I was given a position as
Photo Technician at the Base, Photo
Lab. I am very enthused over my
new assignment and I am acquiring
knowledge that will prove very helpful and beneficial to me in my hobby
af ter the war. Gosh! But I will be
glad when this is over.
I have approxima tely twenty more
months to go here in the Aleutians.
J Men! Have you ever lived in a
without a beautiful red head
\ world
or a gorgeous brunette, or a golden
• blond maiden to cast your eyes upon
? and wink at now and then, or pass on
the street and say, "Oh! I thought
you were Marjori e." Well, I am , and
I don 't like it. I know I didn 't take
much
interest in women while I was
: at college,
but I never dreamed , at
that time, it would go to this ex: treme. Did yo u?
We have a few nurses here, bu t I
am
not an officer , I am just a Buck
j Private.
But we all hope some day
our
dream
will come true and we
¦
will be able to cast our eyes upon
a damsel again.

Reason Enou gh

Lt . Edward Walinchus.
Visi ted the Shakespearian memorials—his burial place, his wife's and
moth er 's bir thplaces, etc. Little did
I drea m I'd see these places when I
sa t in Miss Shaw 's Lit. class. I even
wrote an essay on Strafford-on-Avon
for her. In general everything is
quite ancient here and old fashioned ,
though the people are kind and
f riendly—give me the U. S. Atf The
reason why I want to come back to
Bloom is for j ust a dip in the pool .

This college, at which this C. T. D.

is located , is somewhat similar to
Bloomsburg . They even huve a Ma¦

Danville

I' ve met a few of the fellows from

They Say

?5»

Tha t the college students were
very happy to have Lt. Stew Yorks
and Sgt . Larry Doster on campus
again. It seemed like old times.
That Phil Yeany j ust received his
commission in the Army Air Corps
and is also among one of our welcome visitors on campus. Jerry Fritz,
Clay ton Patterson and Davy Jones
were back two weeks ago. Lt. Jones
was certainly glad to see that his red
pajam as were still flying in the tree.
They are a faded lavendar by now,
though.
¦
That Ginger Rogers says weekends in Bloomsburg are rather boring these days.
Tha t we were slow in telling you
about Peggy Heness being engaged to
Pv t. Joseph Stoddard who is stationed at New Jersey.
That Betsy Smith has to get up at
6 :00 o 'clock every- morning except
Saturday and Sunday to go to Berwick; and that even on Saturday and
Sunday she sets her clock for 6:00
so that she can have the pleasure of
turning it off , telling it j ust exactly
where to go , and finally turning over
to sleep some more. It sounds like
a good idea—in fact , I now hear that
move student teachers are trying it.
