College Council Adopts Policy for Social Room On Thursday night , December 14, Waller Hall Girls R eceive Awards Air Corps Personnel Seize Opportunity For Part Time Study Officers and enlisted men at this Liberator air base in England, one of the strategic air depots in Brigadier General Donald Goodrich's Eighth Air Force Service Command , are preparing now for a successful readjustment to the postwar world . Technicians and mechanics, whose duties are servicing and maintaining liberator bombers, are eagerly attending classes, during thier off-hours, in almost every phase of education. This schooling is made possible by the Armed Forces Institute, which supplies new, up-to-date, attractive textbooks. Classes are organized by the base Special Service Officer , who arranges classroom facilities, and engages instructors among qualified personnel . There is no cost whatever attached to the courses. Interest is so keen in the Educational Program that all allotted evening time is filled . Subjects taught range from Psychology to Meteorology, from Business Management to World History. The astounding fact to emerge from this program is the enthusiasm with which the men are seizing the opportunity, and the studies must be pursued in af t-duty hours. The War comes first ; the maintonencc of aircraft and the supplying of planes must be accomplished before study or classes begin. Even though the soldier has his duty to perform first, he is using his treasured , leisure hours for study. NOTICE the annual dormitory room judging contest was held recently by the girls of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The contest is a proj ect of the Waller Hall House Committee with Violet Weller, Turbotville and Wanda Barth , Lansdale as co-Chairmen . Room judges consisted of student members of the House committee and women members of the College Faculty. The rooms were judged on the basis of suitability for dormitory rooms, arrangement of furn iture', color scheme, neatness and originality. The "best rooms received as awards decorative door cards indicating "Attractive Room " or "Honorable Mention." The rooms selected for awards were chosen by both sets of judges working individually.' "Attractive Rooms" were : Doris Condor, Gloria Mainierio, Mary , Longo , Betty Adams, Mae Klinger, Evelyn Witman, Mary Schroeder, Jean Dickinson, Flora Guarn a , Lucille Martino, Marilyn Sailor, Norine Milos, Mary DeVitis , Eudora Berlew, Joy Propst, Phyllis Schrader, Kay Kurilla, Rose Cerchiaro. "Honorable Mention " were: Ju ne Novak, Rose Marie Kraiser, Helene Brown, Bertha Sturman, Cleo Kinney, Betty Zong, Ruth Kester, Marj orie Downing, Gloria Belcastro, Catherine Longo, Kathleen Hess, and Wand a Barth . Two girls in the dormitory acquired diamond rings for Christmas. Because of construction work in the Navy section of Waller Hall, it has been necessary for the Navy to move temporarily into part of the girl's dorm". The nigh t before the partition was moved, fourth floor looked like Spring moving day as the girls moved furniture back and forth between the old clubrbom and smoking room and the new . Mary Cramer former dorm student is now a day girl and is living with Miss Hazen. This winter seems to be a bit hard on some of our poor animal friends. The day we returned from vacation a little shivering dog found shelter in our warm halls and some of the girls' rooms. Joy, Phyllis and Dodie's room seemed to suit him remarkably well. At the regular meeting of the Waller Hall Governing Board Thursday , January 4, the chairman of the Fire Drill and Social Committees were chosen . The new social chairman is Dora Brown and the new fire chief is Peggy Anthony.

Many Club Groups Active on Campus Although war conditions have affected many phases of college life, it has not curtailed the activities of the various organizations on the college campus. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club has been having many interesting meetings. A truefalse quiz on scientific topics was conducted at a recent meting. The wins ners , who each received a prize, were, Ellen Moore, Eugene McBride, Viole t Weller and Frances Saunders . At the meeting on January 4, a film, "The country of Mexico ", was shown. Also at this meeting Emily Joan Hess read and illustrated with pictures , an article entitled "All Flowers are ForgetMe-Nots". The club is planning to visit various business places in town such as Letterman 's Bakery and Dillon's Greenhouse. S. C. A. The Student Christian Association met Wednesday, January 10, at 6:45 in the social rooms of Science Hall for a very interesting meeting. A typical mennonite church service was held under the direction of Miss Mary Carmer. She explained some of the interesting features of the mennonite theological doctrine. This meeting gave the members an opportunity to understand the views and customs of this religious sect. Programs of a similar nature are in the process . PI OMEGA PI The first meeting of Pi Omega Pi, the business education fraternity, for the trimester was held on Thursday, December 14, 1944 in the social rooms of Science Hall, The offcers for this year are Joseph Gula, president; Mary Schroeder, vice president; Gloria Belcastro, secretary ; 'Lusille Martino, ( treasurer; and Eileen Falvey, historian.
