Wins Drill
On Wednesday evening, August 23,
the spectators at Olympus Field witnessed one of the finest drill competitions ever held by the V-12 Unit. The
winning company was chosen by three
judges from downtown ; Maj or Harry
Barton , Mr. Claire Hidley, and Mr.
Frank Hutchison.
Each of the three companies was
allowed . eight minutes to show its
marching ability. The j udging was
based on military bearing, drilling,
and general appearence. Fancy movements are frowned upon and basic
movements are stressed.
The band played for the three companies, using the same piece, Washington Post , in order to eliminate
partiality.
The winner was C company piloted
by William Copeland. B company was
close runner up followed by A company.
After the competition the Battalion
led by the color company passed in
review before the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and visiting
judges. Headed by the Battalion Commander the unit marched to the front
of Navy Hall and stood retreat. The
Battalion was then dismissed to the
cheers of the winning company and
the "blues" from the remaining two.
Everyone agreed that the unit did
well and is looking forward to as good
a competition next week.

Summer Recreation
Program Is "Tops"
With a Sunday trip to Eaglesmere
on July 16, the College inaugerated
its summer recreation program under
the general supervision of Miss Lucy
McCammon of the Physical Training
Department. This program has featured a College picnic, weekend trips,
open house parties and several dances .
All events to date have been thoroughly enjoyed .
?• The picnic at Knoebel's Grove on
August 3rd was a particular success.
Classes were concluded at noon and
the College students assembled on the
Long Porch dressed for the fun. The
Navy was all squared away with clean
whites only to acquire a two-tone effect from the dusty bus seats. The
sports of the day featured a softball
game, several quoit matches, swimming, and skating. A few couples
even went in for a little nature study
back in the woods, A tasty picnic supper satisfied the hungry appetites
resulting from the afternoon's exertion. Unfortunately the naval men
had to return to the station early in
th e even in g, but all the participants
agreed that the picnic was tops.
The most popular events are the

Despite the fact that only a few of
the regular College Council members
are attending the July Trimester, the
executive committee, headed by the
incumbent President, Julian Zinzerella , and the Treasurer, Robert Megargel, has taken definit e strides
toward organizing a Community
Government Association to function
during the final half of this session.
The committee is putting the finishing touches to a proposed September
and October budget, which will be
presented to President Aradruss and
the Council for immediate adoption.
The membership of the C,G,A,,
which in the past has been composed
of the active President, Vice-President, Girl and Boy Representative
from each civilian class, and four
Navy V-12 appointees, will be extended to include the incumbent March
Trimester officers plus the students
who were elected to serve with the
C.G.A. during the November session.

Unit Maintains
Its Bond Record
Following th e method of persistency r ath er than insi st en cy, the V-12

trainees who entered July first , joined
the bond-buying ranks of the older
men to keep Bloomsburg at the head
of the Fourth Naval District's Bond
Progr am .
The first crew of the "U.S.S.
Bloomsburg" set the high standard
by winning the War Bond Pennant.
This pennant is given to all V-12 units
whose purchases are over 909r. Not
content with this low percentage, the
first trainees of Bloomsburg went all
out with 1009^ participation . It has
been kept at this level ever since and
the pennant is still flying at the flagstaff .
Penn Theological, Swarthmore, and
Penn State are close runners-up.
The "have-to" appeal is eliminated,
and the men are shown the desirability of having money "salted away" for
the time when civvies will be the un-

iform of the day.
The campaign is sparked by 100%

Unit Band Gains Popularity

Adding color and smartness to the military functions of the V-12
unit , the military band , un der the direction of Allen Martin , is rapidlygaining popu larity with everyone on the campus. Since its formation
last April , the band has steadily bettered its position. In Jul y it was
transferred into a permanent platoon .
Every Tuesday evening the band practices in Room 40 of Science

SCIENCE CLUB
STILL ACTIVE
Although many of the clubs on
campus have discontinued for the
summer trimester, the Science Club ,
under the sponsorship of Dr. Kuster ,
has been meeting regularly in the
social rooms of Science Hall.

Martin, ban dmaster an d platoonleader. developed his talent

served in his present position since
the band's formation. The organization lost many members when
he preceeding group left last trimester. G. Buyce, M. Cohen , E.
Friedli. R. Fisher. R. Hoffman. C.
Muscheck , and G. Zieber were the

members are Bogan, Bisbing, Davis, Dominques, Hodge, McElheney, McCough , Pstrak. Speicher ,
Speigel . Terhunc Wineberg. and
Wright. All band members have
had previous experience, and most
members own and play their own
instruments.
At present some of the members
are putting the military music on
the shelf and are turning their
attention to some hotter notes for
the coming Happy Hour .

On Monday, August 21, a quiz contest , which proved to be both educational and entertaining, was h eld .

DILEMMA

In times of war the drain upon a nation 's manpower constitutes a
serious threat to higher education. Colleges , as the foremost propagators of higher educa tion , must face and solve tl\e problems which the
acute shortage of manpower causes. In solving the manpower shortage ,
colleges learn anew that they are heavily responsible for training
in divi d ua ls to t h in k ana lytica lly and to make decisions for immediate
action. In a sense, the colleges of the United States are the guardians
of the American Heritage until the country returns to peacetime conditions.
Bloomsburg is one college that has been successful in solving its
manpower shortage. At the same time a valuable contribution has been
made to the war effort. Before the war broke out , the college had
trained one hundred civilian pilots under the Civilian Pilot Training
program. Since the outbreak of the war , the College has made its facilities available for Eng ineering Science, and Management War
Training courses, for training of aviation cadets for the Army and
Navy, for Naval Flig ht Instructors training, for the Naval Aviation
Cadet Training Program , for science instruction for nurses of the
Bloomsburg Hosp ita l , and for the Navy V-12 program.
Since nearly all these courses are now completed , with the exception of the V-12 Program , the main problem which the College must
face is the absorption of new V-12 trainees when they arrive at the
beginning of each trimester. No other group has presented the same
problem which has been presented by the arrival of a large group of
men fresh from hig h school for induction into ttie V-12 Unit. This problem with the V-12 trainees is especiall y peculiar to that group because
of the fact that V-12 trainees may be considered more as college students than the men who trained here under the other training programs.
These other groups did not offer a problem of absorption , for they
were more transient and did not receive the regular college training.
Ordinaril y at the beginning of a new trimester , all new students
would receive from the college an indoctrination course. This course,
as in most colleges , acquain ts new students with the customs, traditions , and rules of the institution . At the same time the new student is
introduced to the faculty. Thus , he learns what is expected of him and
where to go when he wishes to seek information , This practice eliminates many problems which confront the new student,
The fact that many V-12 trainees fail to appreciate what the college
expects of its ntw students is the immediate source of the misunderstandings which have arisen in the past over the activity fee , the athletic and social programs, and the other extra-curricular activities sponsored by the college, Many unp leasant occurrences in the past year
have created an atmosphere which is not conducive to the smooth
functioning of any organization on campus, There is a need for better
understanding and greater cooperation among all groups represented
on this campus,
NOW seems to be the time for the College and Navy administrators
to meet and to arrange for the college to carry out a definite indoctrination program coordinated with the indoctrination given the new
trainees by the Navy. The program which the college might give
could be short: but no matter how short, it would answer a definite
need. Something should be done now to eliminate the dilemma which
the new trainees will find themselves in when they arrive next November,

"Fair Stood the Wind for France"
is an excellently written novel by the
Englishman, H. E . Bates. Mr. Bat es,
one of England's forem ost wri t er s,
has wide experience in the field of
letters. He has worked with the RAF
for sometime and has written numerous short articles concerning- that
organization. In t his book , his latest
and best work, he writes of the men
of the RAF and their indomitable
courage and fortitude .
A bomber returning from its mission over Italy develops engine trouble and is forced down in occupied
France. Th e pilo t, Franklin, is hurt
in the ensuing crash, but his four
companions, O'Connor, Sanders, Taylor, and Goodwin, emerge unscathed.
These five Englishmen travel crosscountry ever on the alert for German
patrols or collaborationist Frenchmen, until they stumble unon a farm
where they are taken in* and cared
for by a French underground family.
The girl of the family, Francois, hides
the men in an adj oining mill . Papers
are secured for the flyers to travel to
southern France, but Franklin's seriously injured arm makes traveling
impossible. Sanders and O'Connor,
determined to stay with their skipper
do not wish to go, but Franklin orders
them to proceed.
As is expected the wounded pilot
falls in love with Francois. This
romance is undoubtedly the most
beautiful and significant part of the
book. However, Franklin 's arm gets
worse and has to be amputated by a
loyal French doctor. Franklin 's love
for Francois is the only thing that
keeps him alive. -,
Conditions in France become so
desperate that Francois' father, a
loyal Frenchman, no longer able to
face life , commits suicide. French
collaborationists su&pect the family.
Franklin 's arm is healing now and
Francois decides the time to escape
has come—before the fascists become
too suspicious,

Baseball Season
With 6*3 Win
Walking off the diamond on Thursd ay, August 17 with their third win in
a row, a 6 to 3 victory over the Reem
Mfg. Co. team, of Danville, the Huskies brought to a close the 1944 baseball season with a record of eight
wins as against seven losses.
Coach Davis had but three V-12
veterans remaining from the hardhitting March Trimester team when
the July baseball call was issued.
Nevertheless , he molded an agressive

Flyers Defeat
B.S.T.C. Coeds

(By George Gordon)
Bloomsburg's pigskin batt alion will
soon be marching into their first
wartim e session , with all indications
pointing to a very successful campaign.
On August fifteenth, with the mercury bobbing between ninety-eight
and one hundred degrees, the first
practice session of the nineteen fortyfour football season got under way.
Forty- five candidates turned out for
a tough drill which featured everything except the brisk wind of the
November football afternoon. Since
no coach has been officially named,
the temporary tutoring job has been
placed in the capable hands of Dr. E.
H. Nelson , Mr. Earl Davis, and trainer Rodney Williams.
Promising Schedule
Early in September the team will
take the field against an as yet unnamed opponent. A promising schedule is being formulated, at present,
by the "Doc"; and if his efforts bear
fruit strong gridiron aggregations
from C.C.N.Y., Swarthmore , and Temple can be expected.
Unf ort un ately f or Bloom , some superior fr eshm an material will remain
under the canvas until their eligibility is recognized on November the
first. The squad , however, includes a
large group of tried and tested gridsters with ex-college and high school
experience. Leading this group is Rod
Williams, who for three years led
Atlantic City High School through
extremely successful seasons. In hi s
senior year Rod was chosen halfback
on the Jersey All Scholastic dream
team. Upon completing his high
school career Williams played the
1942 season with Delaware University.
Large Phllly Group
Hailing from Philadelphia is a
large group of "Brotherly Love" players who invariably forget their city's
descriptive phrase when the opening
whistle of a gridiron battle is sounded.
"Don Hutson" Jenkins, Phil Bickel,
and John Davis lead the Philly group.
Jenkins and Bickel learned the pigskin game at Germantown High
School while big John Davis was making varsity history as captain of the
West Philadelphia team. Also from
the "Quaker City " comes Bernie
Greenberg, varsity back at Overbrook
High School, and Johnny Quinn from
Bartram High.
Bill Graham will probably be at the
field general's post when the first
Bloomsburg football team since, 1941
takes the field. Bill played three years
of varsity ball at Aqinnas Institute
where he was captain of a great
Rochester outfit. The presence of Will
•Schildmaker, ex-star end of his Erie
High School team should strengthen
the Husky line. One of the biggest
men on the squad is "gigantic" Jim

Of war , sex, and fe atu res double,
It's a wonderful thing to be able to
say,
"I'm free to get up at break of day.
Around the track I'm free to race
On and on at a heated pace,
It's good to be able to do these things
For nothing else than the j oy it
brings.
So say to yourself as you jump from
bed,
There's really nothing: I'd rather do
in st ead ,
Unless—It's blow a big hole in my
head.
STAND BY MATES:

A Happy Hour will soon be putting
into port. The show is to be skippered
by Howard Greenspan, with the assistance of Max Cohen and Arnold
Toof . The entertainment includes a
"hot" orchestra, a newly discovered
vocalist reported to equal the best
crooners of the day. A number of
comical skits, several novel entertainers, and last but not least a Navy
Choir. However, according to Cecil B.
De Greenspan, a few more acts can be
used, so if any of you boots or old
seadogs can let off with some fancy
•fun give the skipper a blink on the
blinker. At present this Happy Hour
promises to be the best Navy show
that has yet put into Bloomsburg.

ing cruise searching for any unarmed
merchantmen bearing certain desirable cargo. No sooner does the lookout yell "shape ahoy " than the engines are thrown "Ahe ad full" and the
man o'war bears down hard to make
the day 's capture. No more need be
said of the day 's fun except to mention the fine lunches put up by Miss
Penn.
By no means is the program nearing an end . Among the coming attractions are several more trips to Eaglesmere , a combination horseback ride
and corn roast, an open house, and an
inf ormal dance on September 8.

After many adventures, the couple
arrive in Marseilles. There , Franklin
locates his crewman, O'Connor, and
the three board a train for the Spanish border. Just before crossing into
Spain, O'Connor, traveling on forg ed
papers, gives his life to save the beautiful Francois.
The story is undoubtedly one of the
best stories of escape to come out of
this war . Franklin 's love for Francois ,
born of common hate makes tthe
story even more potent .
