F. T. A. HOLDS PANEL
DISCU SSION IN ASSEMBLY

i American Education Week - was
well presented here at B. S. T. C.
Tuesday , November 19, in an in teresting panel discussion at assembly.
Presented by a group of seven students and townspeople, the program
was entitled , "Facing New Tasks."
Robert Bunge, Catawissa , presided
over the panel group and represented the secondary students of the college.
On the panel were: Mrs. Harry
Keller , Jr., P . T. A.; Mr. William A.
Lank , executive vice-president of
the Farmers National Bank; Robert
. Bird , commercial education; Mrs.
Laura Davis, elementary education;
Richard Bower, college freshman
and veteran, and the Reverend M. C.
Hunsicker, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bloomsburg.
Mrs. Keller presented the position
of the paren ts in this atomic age and
declared that perfect housekeepers
do not always make perfect homekeepers. During her brief talk she
urged that all children be encouraged
to read and develop a problem-solving attitude.
Mr. Lank, a Naval officer during
World War II, spoke briefly of our
effort to overcome economic instability. He told of the recovering periods of prosperity and depression ,
tracing the factors involved in periods
of economic collapse. In closing he
mentioned some solutions to the
problem.
Speaking for the studen ts in the
business education department, Mr.
Bird stressed the need for better
trained teachers and individual guidance for pupils if the school is to
face the tasks in this post war world.
Mrs . Davis told of the three-fold
problem facing the elementary school.
She mentioned the critical teacher
shortage, the decrease in returning
teachers and the increased elementary school enrollment .
Mr. Bower discussed the problem
of the returning veteran who is
seeking an education. He stated that
the age in which we live demands
leaders ,
The concluding message was made
by the Reverend Mr . Hunsicker who
appealed to the teachers to be trained
in morality and with a knowledge of
the high human values. He decried
the smug satisfaction with which we
vi ew secular things and pointed with
regret to the inadequacies found in
modern education.

FLYING CLUB STILL
ACCEPTING MEMBERS
At the present the activities of the
newly formed Flying Club seem to
be at a stand still . Although it is not
the fault of the officers or the members of the organization , the club can
not m a k e progress with its well
planned program. So far they h ave
completed their plans for pre-flight
training which will include all subj ects related to actual flight training.
The obstacle that is delaying the
start of their course is their right to
gain flying time. The present officers
of the club are now waging a private
figh t with the higher-ups to do away
with this obstacle. If things go according to plans , the club expects to
have its members take to the air before the end of the semester.
At the last meeting of the club it
was announced that new members
would be accepted. Joining this organiza tion will be a great opportunity for all those who are interested
in aviation and who wish to gain
knowledge of the basic fundamentals
of actual flight. This is especially
true of the V e t e r a n s attending
Bloomsburg because their flight time
will be paid for by the Veterans Administration. The actual flight training will be given by certified instructors at the local airport. Through this
training, many of the college students will obtain their private or commercial pilot license.

It's Different!
It's Here !

CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY
TALK BY MR. DUBBS

Mr. Charles Dubbs, of the Gregg
Publishing Company , was the guest
speaker at a recent Business Education Club meeting held in the Navy
^
Hall auditorium.
Mr. Dubbs presented a worthwhile
address to over two hundred members present. He stressed the point
tha t everyone should stand on his
own two feet. He said that he believed impatience ruins more successes than anything else. He urged
students to do their own study ing,
reading, and applying and to watch
and use their own soul. He told the
members to make room and make
way for the positive things of life.
He also told some remarks he had
once heard a coach telling his team.
The coach was explaining to the team
the meaning of pep. He said that the
first p stood for a purpose, the e
stood for enthusiasm in attaining that
purpose, and the last p for perseverance in attaining that purpose.
The president of the club appointed the following chairmen of cemmittees for the commercial contest to
be held in the spring. Registration ,
Joseph Lyons; Publicity, Martha
Wilson; Placement, Jack O'Donnell;
Accommodations, Jane Niles a n d
Harold Reinert; Hospitality, Peggy
