let T^geY acqu a in t e d !# ! "Qei Acquainted Day " Thirte en Students Receive Bachelo r of Science Degree s Thirteen students completed the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. A convocation was held in the College Audi torium to commemorate the event, and the graduating class was addressed by President Harvey A. Andruss, who spoke on the topic - of "So You're Going to Teach." The part of 'education in a world weary of war, so as to promote peace, was in the light of the meetings of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, which met in London, November 1 to 16, 1945. President Andruss, who was stationed at Shrivenham , Berks, as Head of th>e Department of Accounting in the American Army University there, attended some of the sessions. The place of education in the new world order for peace can be realized from the statement that "war is made in the minds of men and it is there that defenses of peace must be constructed." Each generation must be educated to understand that race , color and creed must cooperate and understand one another to the end that they live together in this world where transportation has made everyone the neighbor of everyone else. The teacher of children—the next generation—is, therefore, in a strategic position to build for the peace of the world of tomorrow. The graduates included: Linda Culver , Elementary, Wyalusing; Edwin Deleski, Business, Bloomsburg ; Doris Dicki n son , Elementary, LaPl um e; Elizabeth Ertel, Business, Williamsport; Henry Gatski, Secondary, Bloomsburg; Wanda Kehler , Business, Ashland; Virginia King, Secondary, Dallas; Norine Miles, Business, Shenandoah; Audrey Parsell, Secondary, Orangeville; Winifred i Komberger, Elementary, Elizabethville; Phyllis Schrader, Elementary and Special Education , Lewisburg ; Charles Wagner, Secondary, Mt.

The purpose of this event is to help the former and new students get to know each other. | Each member of the college community, including the faculty members, will be wearing a small card on \v,hich is printed his name, home town and class. The colored cards designa te the various classes. The colors are: Freshman , green; Sophomore, blue; Junior , yellow; and Senior, red. The cards have been distributed by representatives of the four groups of students. A V 4 n Miss Johnston Returns to College WELCOME! The College extends a cordial welcome to the new students. A great majority of them are service men going to college under the provisions of the G. I. Bill. Many are former students who have returned to complete their education at the college, but a sizable number are entering B. S. T. C. for the first time. Their group makes a pleasant and welcome increase in the size of the classes and the various organizations. The general friendly atmosphere , too, ulready pervading the campus has been uplifted by the addition of new and different persoushities. The faculty and students of B. S. T. C. are glad to welcome back Miss Johnston, head of our Speech Department, who has returned after a year 's leave of absence. Shortly af ter leaving B. S. T. C. last year, Miss Johnston taught Speech in Hunter 's College for the spring semester. Wihile at Hunter she studied lip reading at the Nitchi School in New York City. Then she left for Hofr 's General Hospital at Santa Barbara , California , to be on the Rehabilitation Staff in the Hearing Center. The Hospital, which was under the Ninth Service Command, closed the first par t of December. It was divided into several centers, one was the Hearing Center which had fortyseven instructors on its staff. The patients in the Hearing Center were Army men (Veterans) who had lost or partially lost their hearing because of shell shock or concussion, or who had perhaps been deaf since childhood. They were enlisted men or office rs, coming from all walks of life , and ranging from colonels to buck privates. Continued on Page Four New G. I.

POLL STUDIES STUDENT LISTENERS Radio listening habits of American college students will be scrutinized;. in a survey launched today by tite Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systeaau Approximately 2000 students will fee asked to name their favorite types o( programs, their favorite stations, their best listening times. This is believed to be the first time that the audience of college students has been systematically studied . Following the pre-test at Princeton University, the survey will move on to the nineteen other colleges which have member stations of the IBS. The survey will study listening to "outs id e" ra dio stat i ons as well as to the IBS stations which are operated by the students themselves and heard only on the campus, Designed to discover what students like to hear on the radio, the poll is directed, by the nntlonal office of IBS In New York. The questions will be ask ed by stu dent vol unteers cho sen from the stations of tho chain.— I. B. C. . Los Negres Island Monday, January 7, 1946. Dear Mr. Wilson , I received a copy of the "Maroon and Gold" the other cl.'iy, and it was just like a letter from B. S. T. C. I'm glad to see (lie .school is once again back on a peace time basis , and I hope it won 't be long before I can come back. In case you've lost track of me, I'm still out here in the blue Pacific— in the Admiralties—where I have been since August 13, 1944. I am starting on my 20th month overseas now , and I guess it will probably be 22 or more before I return. :•>< For fourteen months, I was stationed on a small island air base, which turned out what might be called a man-sized job of making ready planes for combat. It was instrumental in the invasions of Moroiai , Peleliu, and the Philippines. The name of the island is Pityiiu , not to confuse it with Peleliu. which is in the PaUtu group. Right now, however, I am based on Los Negros, the "strategic point" when the Admiralties were first invaded. This island has two air strips, but only one is kept up—Momole by name. The other , a mammoth 9,000 f oo t double lane affair , is no longer in use. In fact , this is the olily remaining active strip in. the Admiralty Islands. Before the war , t hese isla n ds wer e a mandate of Australia, and we may give them back to them. Since I graduated from Radio School in May, 1944 , I have been constantly attached to radio and communications. Many times, because of a shortage of manpower, we were called upon to work in the decoding office , take care of the telephone switchboard , teletype , or any number of things. This was especially the case at Pityiiu. I was transferred over here October 9. " x This communications outfit has ihe responsibility of communications with all planes going out and coining in here. Types of planes most seen are R4D, R5D, (which is the same as the C-54 Douglas Globestcr) , and R5C. Others are B-25 Mitchells , 13-26 Mauradcrs , E-24 Libe r a t ors , FBYSA's, and all sorts of smaller craft. We were very busy for a time , but lately things have slacked off a bit. So far as getting home in concerned , I a m o verdue , but they will not send us home until replacements arrive because we are short handed. However, because the point score took another drop, I don 't think I will be home before I get my points, which won 't probably be until April. That will seem a long time, but I'll just have to "sweat it out" I guess. It dertainly will be good to get back to civilian life again. Christmas was spent in a rather quiet manner out here. This was my third away from .home, and I certainly hope to be around by next year . We ushered our New Year in here just fifteen hours ahead of you . I picked up some rather interesting bits of information in regard to the weather statistics out here. The total rainfall for last year was 15,5.47 inches, which is plenty of rain. The maximum temperature was 93.5 degrees. However, this was taken in absolute shade, and the aerologist tells me that out in the sun the thermometer would soar to 135 or 140 each day without much trouble. The minimum temperature this year was 70 degrees. The maximum wind was 50 knots and was in the form of a small tornado , which we experienced during the month of December . Other months there is very little wind. Because I am in communications , I ha ve access to a radio all of the time and that is one thing jl would miss most. We have a fine Hallicrafter in our Quonset hunt, and it can pick up the states any time of the day or night. ! Even in this intense huat , it is seldom too hot to sleep at night. Our huts are open at both ends find there are also openings on the sides and small ventilators on the roof. The food isn't anything to bras about , but I suppose it could be worse.
