Althea Parsell One of Finalists At Philadelphia Are Fifteen Finalists, With Two To Be Selected Miss Althea Parsell , of Orangeville, a Bloomsburg State Teachers College student and voice student of Miss Laura Herring, of town , is one of the fif teen finalists among the young singers who are striving to be named to appear on the program of the Philadelphia Music Festival June 1. Two will be chosen. The first three of the finalists were guest soloists on a radio program last Sunday and three will be heard each Sunday for the next four weeks. Miss Parsell will sing on Sunday afternoon , May 6 over KYW Philadelphia . There were more than 500 amateur singers who were heard and tested in the competition . Miss Parsell went to Philadelphia about a month ago to enter the contest and how well she was received is reflected in the fact that she is one of the final fifteen. About a year ago she was awarded a scholarship in the School of Fine Arts at Syracuse University but ref used as she desired to continue her voice work with Miss Herring and to complete her course here at the college. Pandemonium Reign s At Dramatic Club The auditorium on Tuesday, April 17, was the scene of hilarious activity with Dramatic Club in full swing. Jim Tierney was directing a rehearsal for the play "The Wedding." This play was previously scheduled, but due to complications too complicated to explain , the rehearsal was presented i n s t e a d . Pandemonium reigned for the evening and the pro gram was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. During the business meeting which followed, Russ Crosby was chosen to direct a play for assembly on May 16. Science Club Visits Second Greenhouse In case you've seen any girls walking around looking like a flower pot festooned with blooms, it's just the result of tho Science Club's visit to Underwood's Greenhouses on Thursday, April 12, After conducting the club members on a tour through the greenhouses, Mr. Underwood generously distributed carnations and sweet peas among the visi tors, Among the interesting plant specimens Been were* several orchid plants and a pineapple plant . Army Air Force Demonstrates For Educators The method of instruction used by the Army Air Force was demonstrated at the Teachers College, here, yesterday by the AAF Training Liason Office, New York, to seventy educators , including public school superintendents and principals and representatives of three colleges. The "mock-up" system of teaching was demonstrated in the college gymnasium . Under this system a part of an engine is set up apart from other phases of the mechanism. This may be smaller or large but it is to scale. It is a step further than visual education . For example, if the hydraulic system is to be studied , this system would be assembled alone, so that no part of it would be obscured by other parts of the engine and the student could concentrate upon its operation. The Civil Air Patrol has been active in this type of instruction and the purpose of the demonstration was to call to the attention of educators how the Army Air Force system works and to inform them that much of this teaching material is now being made available to the schools. Lt . Robert J. Anderson explained what the Army Air Force is doing and how it came to use the system. This was done in the morning and in the afternoon he demonstrated the "mock-up" system and conducted a period of questions and answers. Maj or Reber, executive officer of the Pennsylvania wing of the CAP, Harrisburg, told of the background of the Civil Air Patrol and Dr. George Stover, State Department of Public Instruction and assistant training officer of . the Pennsylvania wing of CAP, spoke of the plans for aeronautic courses in the high schools. Th ese plans have rapidly developed and include four hours of flight experience , which would be tho laboratory part of the instruction. Captain John C. Koch, CAP, of the college faculty, told of the CAP recruiting and training program , explaining the methods used . This work at the present is on a pre-induction basis. The Army Air Force instructors here were Lt. Robert J. Anderson, Lt. Frank J. Cignetti, Lt. Robert W. Elmer, Sgt . Thomas R. Knox, Sgt. Walter E. Raueh and Sgt. Gustavo Goehring, This is the eighth teachers college in which the demonstration has been given and the attendance here was the largest thus far. \ Dn Leslie P. Hill To Speak Here Dr . Leslie P. Hill, President of Cheyney State Teachers College, will speak before the college assembly tomorrow at 10:10, He is a noted Negro educator who has toured the country.

Andruss, President A democracy can succeed only with an educated electorate. Free public education is one oE America 's proudest traditions . Wi th thirty million boys and girls in schools and colleges; with one million teachers in the classrooms; and with thirty billion dollars spent annually on education; the public is vitally concerned with our educational program . This deep interes t is the surest safeguard for the continuance of the democratic tradition and the American way of life . To their credit and the glory of the American educational profession , the schools and colleges of this country are functioning despite all obstacles. Thus far not one important four-year institution of higher learning has closi ed its doors. Colleges are mortgaging their future to continue . As t he pligh t of education has become known , support has been forthcoming. Alumni , friends, and the lay public have rallied to educational institutions in need.. In this country, American education is now in a stage of transition . The normal under-graduate enrollment has been sharply curtailed. Many colleges arc marking time, limping along as best they can . Financial problems coming naturally in tho wake of a depleted campus are growing apace, Many of tho fines t American colleges and universities arc operating on a skeleton basis . . Benjamin Fine, writing in the New York Times, Sunday, March 25, 1945, of a survey of seventeen typical Liboral Arts Colleges, reveals how four years of war have left thoir mark. These broad conclusions emerge : (1) the enrollment of civilian studentbody is down to about 15% of normal; (2) the faculty has been depleted and in many instances reduced by more th an hall' ; (3) course offerings have bean slashed and complote departments eliminated for the duration; (4) oxtra-curricular activities have been reduced or in many Instances en tirely abandoned; (5) almost ovory college Is now operating at a finan- cial loss; and (6) buildings, plants and equipment have deteriorated and arc in need of repairs . Those insti tutions that had substantial financial resources have been able to weather the emergency in better shape than the poorer ones, but even the larger colleges are beginning to face deficits . Bloomsburg State Teachers College has been fortunate in many ways during the war period . Five years are now finished—what of the future ? Since 1940 all American life has moved, at ti mes spasmodically , toward a future filled with wishful thinking, wars, and warnings. All things have been bent toward the turning of plow-shares into swords and pruning hooks into spears . Now we turn and look back over the five years which are finished. A new course must be set to determine whither we shall go "when Nations slmll not raise sword against Nation , neither shall they learn any more." What of tho Future ? We cannot answer 'this question until we know where we are ; and the route that we traveled to arrive—where we are. Before the passage of the first Selective Service Act in 1940 it was evident to some college administrators that changes were impending . Were the transition made gradually, there would bo less interruption in tho work of faculty and students at a given time and , moreover, Alumni would have ample time to be advised j ust what was happening at their Alma Mater , Tho prophet of 1940 did not foresee tho marked decrease in colic-go enroJJmont . However, those institutions which insisted on "keeping on" doing tho same things as before, have been denuded of students, Their opportunities for contributing to tho war effort have been limited by a slow start. The purpose of this discussion Is to summarize some of the Important developments at the Bloomsburg State Teachers Collage over the last fiveyear period . In so doing It is hoped that wo can demonstrate (1) the for- It 's Up to Us There are former students of B.S. T.C. scattered all over the world. These people have something in common that they have handed over to us to keep for them . That is the Bloomsburg Tradition . That isn't j ust a stuffy phrase but it is a conglomeration of things , big and little , that are found all over our campus. It's the two lions at the end of senior walk and it's that piece of masculine attire waving from a tree on front campus. There are meanings and people behind all of these things. When former B.S.T.C. students get a chance they will come back and they will want to see these things that stand for Bloomsburg Tradition. It is up to us to take care of them because they are ours too. We must know about these things and then tell them to new students . How else can they be remembered ? Your school will have a deeper meaning to you if you understand its tradition . The thing that stands out Beyond classes, assemblies, rules and regulations are the things that make up a college tradition. New people on our campus will respect us and our college more if we give them something that earns respect. We have had to shelve many of our college activities until Victory. Let's not put them so far back on the shelf that we forget their very existence. They are the things our Bloomsburg boys are fighting for. "Day " Day Approaching the Dayroom I heard a weird sound.

Paced by Captain Charlie Johnson who took two firsts along with his efforts in the relay, the home tean\ had things pretty much its own way except in the field events. Geiss captured the shotpu t and discus tossing events for the visitors and accounted for almost half their points alone. Dwight was the only other visitor to take a blue ribbon, his 5' 4" effort topping the high jumpers . The Huskies swept all places in both the long distance events as Vince Shedler lead two team-mates home in t he m ile, and Bob Spegal paced the home forces in the 880. The Navymen wound up one-two in three other events as Kishbaugh followed Johnson across the tape in the 100 and 200, while McCormiek ran second to Devine in the 100 yard low hurdles. Gronka took §egond in the discus and Roudabush garnered 3 points for his effort in the shot put. Pittenger won in the broad jump and the relay team accounted for 5 more points in the Husky total of 65. The meet produced several surprises , all of them pleasing to Coach Buchheit. Almost all of the winning marks were of higher caliber than those registered in the inter-company meet several weeks ago, and chances are that even further improvement will come. Pete Dunne and Doug Jackson neither of whom figured in the All-Navy meet each captured points in the high jump . Shedler cut off a good bit on the mile's time, and Spegal lowered the 880 mark toy several seconds. Surprise of the day, however, was the team entered by the baseballers in the relay. Running Brown, Terhune, Mariaschin , and Klinefelter, the diamondmen took second place from Kutztown by a substantial margin.
