five will be read on the regular Thursday broadcast . The radio audience
will be asked to select, by letter, the
best of the five stories. Cash pri zes
may be awarded for each week's winner. The only requirement is that
short stories submitted must not exceed five minutes reading time in

Fashion Change
Is Not New
by Aleki D. Comuntzis
" 'Vice, seen too oft , familiar
with its face,
We first endure, the n p ity,
then embrace.'
And so it is with fashion 's
freaks . We hoot,
We tolerate, and then we
follow suit."—Anon .

|
j
'

One of the most controversial subje cts of the times seems to be the
new silhouette . But no fashion change
is really new, only a modification of
something that came before.
There are three cycles , the bellshaped cycle, the backfullness cycle,
and the tubular cycle. If the future
can be judged by the past another
bell-shaped cycle is upon us, Paris
tried to start the cycle in 1938. Although it did not take hold , it started
the ball rolling. Women were becoming more conscious of natura l line,
but the war regulations held designers
back .
This season, howevex*, there are no
regulations. Skirts are longer. Shoulders are smaller , Waists are diminished . Hips are accented. "These are
the points of change , but the POINT
of the change is the freedom of
choice." (Vogue—Sept . 1947.) There
are four basic silhouettes from which
to choose, All are equally smart.
First , wo have the triangle which
makes a continuous slant from narrow shoulders to a long'full skirt , It

must swing long. It is appealing in
its young fresh look .
Second, the cocoon is an almost
straight garment which is wrapped
about the figure and held into place.
It requires a tall slender woman.
Thi rd , the infanta is the most flattering of silhouettes. It can be worn
easily and the accentuation is on the
hips with the aid of padding and
buckram .
Fourth , the basic sculptured line
which is always good . It follows the
body line but is new with the touch
of a pej>lum or a cape .
Just remember skirts are longer—
j ust how much longer depends on the
person and the t ime of day in which
it is worn .
So pick the silhouette, the length ,
the material which does the most/for
you , that has a satisfying effect upon
you and your public .
"The height of injustice , " says the
cracker-barreler, "comes when a man
who hasn't kissed his wife for five
years, shoots a man who has. "

"Of course, you know my, husband

After nine weeks of indecision, during which time , we saw numerous window panes broken, boisterous yelling? and unruly pushing,
we are glad to note t h at t h e Comm u nit y Government Associati on h as
finaly alleviated the condition that has existed for some time inside
and outside the cafeteria during the lunch and dinner hours.
We are sorry that something wasn't done much sooner; we are
also sorry to note that many of the offenders are freshman male students, who, some weeks ago, voiced a protest at the Day Men's
Association because of the failure of the college to provide meal service to a few/ we believe that these same students should show their
appreciation, not by pushing and yelling, but by forming an orderly
line and conducting themselves in a proper manner. Only by doing
this, can they ever hope to see meal service extended to their other
less-fortunate day students.
As for the situation, we realize that the above rebuke will not
mitigate the situation , inasmuch as the freshmen are by no means
the only offenders. One would only have to station himself outside
the caf eteria door for one meal to see t h e numerous fe m al e student
offenders, who, assumedly, regard themselves as of a privileged
class and walk unabashedly to the head of the long line.
We also realize that the Community Government Association's
action—helpful as it may seem—will not really solve the entire situation either, Inasmuch as it still leaves unsolved th® condition ©xigiing
outside the cafeteria doors. However, as stated before, it is an alleviation of the condition; and, since we do know definitely that the college
administration is working to place student-waiter service in operation, we can regard it as absolutely imperative that all students
should conduct themselves in a manner which would make any
further action unnecessary either by the Community Government
Association or by the college administration.

A Fittin g Memorial
World War II has come and gone; and with it, the lives of many
of our young men and women. Some of our own brothers and sisters
have laid down their lives for a cause that was very dear to them and
is very dear to us.
On our own honor roll in Noetling Hall, there are twenty-six gold
stars — stars which represent the dearest part of B.S.t.C.'s contribution to the struggle for everlasting peace.
Wouldn 't it be fitting therefore, for the entire College Community
to erect an everlasting monument to the memories of our heroic
alumni whom we will see no more — a monument that will remind
the future students of B.S.T.C. of the terrific cost of peace, and of the
graduates of our college who were not too selfish to pay it.
We can be sure that the administration and the faculty would
heartily endorse a plan for the erection of a memorial. It is up to us
students to decide when and where such a monument should be
erected.
Let us not hesitate; let us act at once and show our appreciation
for those who made the supreme sacrific, by erecting a monument
that will remain forever on the campus of B.S.T.C.

Battle of the Bulge (ing Dinner Line)
Or , Are We the Friendly College?
To the casual observer, a dinner line at "the friendly college"
has become an interesting study in "how to lose friends and alienate
people." No longer are scrimmages, line plunges and "T" formations
confined to Mt. Olympus. In fact a nice quiet game of football is preferable (and much safer1) than attempting to crash the line in time for
a one o'clock class.
With the passage of time, it is interesting to see how various
students have oriented themselves to the problem at hand.
One of the most obvious methods of getting ahead, is, of course,
to have a friend up front. Naturally one must have a fairly plausable
excuse to invade his pre-established beach-head and this is generally
accomplished by the sudden recollection of an urgent message which
must be delivered. Human curiosity (concerning the message) will do
the rest, in securing the friend's aid and approval for the premeditated
plunge—ro.uch to the consternation of the compressed mass of humanity through, and over which, the plunging is done). , . , . . ' , , .

East Stroudsburg Meets Husky Eleven Today,
Booters Tangle with Big Red in Pocono City
Today's Visitors Boast
Experienced Team
Big Red Booters Rated
Third in East Last Year
Realizing their task is not a small
one, the Husky soccer team left this
morning for East Stroudsburg determined to battle all the way in their
tussle with the Big Red eleven this
afternoon .
Rated third in the Eastern Intercollegiate League last fall , East
Stroudsburg this\year presents another strong team . Year after year the
Mountaineers turn out star-studded
elevens, and this season is no exception .
Reports have it that the Rider College team won over the Big R.ed->
Rider , it will be recalled , had to rally
to tie the Huskies, but that was one
of the afternoons when the Maroon
and Gold was hard to stop. East
Stroudsburg has long been a thorn in
the side of Bloomshurg soccer teams.
Hope for Recognition
By winning over East Stroudsburg,
the Huskies could gain much publicity, for the EIL ratings are listed on
the basis of victories over strong
teams. The Pocono school plays some
of the strongest soccer aggregations
in th e east .
Barring injuries, the Huskies will
be all set with the entire squad making the trip by bus . A Jayvee game
with the Plulky Cubs meeting the Big
Red Jayvees will be reeled off at
one o'clock . The varsity go is scheduled for 2:30 P.M .
During the last two games many of
the Huskies who hadn 't seen much
action previously got a chance to display their wares, and they turned in
fine j obs. As a result the squad has
been strengthened considerably coupled with the fact that several of the
starters who were out with injuries
are now available.
Stiff Training
The Huskies have been preparing
for this test the entire week . Monday and Tuesday were set aside for
conditioning purposes. Wednesday a
complete scrimmage was held , and
Thursday more conditioning and drill
was the order of the day.
Against Lincoln, the entire team
was outstanding, and the eleven
which took the field last Saturday is
expected to lino up virtually the same
this afternoon . That combination saw
Leroy Henry, Scott, in the goal ; Johnny Magill , Fern Glen , and Reg, Rem^ Bloomsburg, fullbacks ; George
ley,
Phillips, Dalmatia; Pat Rooney, Philadelphia ; and Claire Mensinger , Mifflinville, at halfbacks ; and Millard
Ludwig, Millville ; Clayton Patterson ,
Nescopeck; Owen Diehl , Philadelphia ;
Doyle Johnson, Catawlssa; and Royal
Conrad, Benton ', on the line .
Slated for early action will be Nell
Dent , Millville; Bruce Yeager , Numidia; Clyde Ackerman; Glenn Bnker,
Benton , and George Stnsko, WilkesBarre,

Soccermen Try
For Number Five
Huskies Hope to Repeat
Last Year 's Victory

Although beaten twice this year,
East Stroudsburg's Big Red football
team will roll into town today with
all the fury which has caused fear
among opponents in the past . The
Huskies are ready to meet the Pocono team and hope to repeat last fall' s victory over the Martin-coached
crew.
Not as busy this fall as is usually
the case, East Stroudsburg has recorded victories over Panzer, 13-0, and
Cortl and , 21-0, while dropping close
decisions to Shippensburg, 12-7, and
West Chester, 6-0. Cortland def eated
Mansfield, 13-6, early in the season.
Veteran Line
The hard charging, bruising line
which held opponents to 33 points in
seven games last year is virtually
intact . This line has held opposing
teams to three touchdowns in four
games this fall . Al Ranger and
Charles Ritinski , two big ends noted
for their punt-blocking specialty, are
back at the flanks .
Harold Hagen and Joe Konezakowski remain at the tackle posts, and
John Petercuskie and Charles Peterson , given much recognition , will
handle the guard posts. At center,
the experienced Johnny Whitehead
replaces Ken Schaeffer, who graduated .
In the backfield , Bob Reese steps
in to fill the vacant shoes of Danny
Drigan, brain trust quarterback . Bernie Rockovich, 165 pounds of dynamite who caused the Huskies turmoil
last year, and Mike Perlow are at the
halfbacks , while at the fullback post
will be Walt Zarnowski , Wilkes-Barre,
replacing Jack Goepfert , who graduated . The line averages ju st 200 pounds
and the backfield about 178.
The Huskies
Plagued by fumbilitis at Kut2town
last Saturday, the Huskies will Ittempt to launch a big offensive
against the Big Red . Injuries have
taken quite a toll ths year , but the
squad is expected to be in fairly good
shape for the tiff . George Paternoster,
who was injured in the Kutztown
game , is expected to be ready. Steve
Kriss is coming along nicely, and he,
along with pitching Matt Maley
should give E. Stroudsburg some anx- ious moments .

Booters Make It
Four in Row

THE SPORT S DIARY

Defeat Lincoln U,, Scoring
All Goals in Six Minutes
Striking with a suddenness and impact of \ the atomic age, the Husky
soccer team ran its victory string to
four in a row by turning back clever
Lin coln Univ er sity, 3-0, on Mt . Olympus last Saturday afternoon before a
good sized crowd.
Pete Wisher's charges displayed
some of the best passing ever seen on
college hill during the six minutes
which elapsed during which time the
Huskies scored all of their goals.
Visitors Stunned
So surprised was the Lincoln team
at the outburs t of power late in the
first period and continuing on into the
first few minutes of the second quart er that it wasn 't u ntil the third
canto that the Purple and Orange
could actually get an offensive rolling.
At this point the Husky defense,
which has been outstanding all year,
stepped in to take command of the
issue. Approximately twenty shots
bombard ed ' the Husky goal , but Leroy
Henry, with valuable assistance from
his fullbacks and halfbacks, who were
preventing the visitors from setting
up the ball, turned aside every effort
to score.
Johnson Scores
At the 18:00 mark in the first period , Royal Conrad got the ball at
midfield and shoved it over to Patterson . He in turn passed to Ludwig
who shot the oval to Johnson. Taking
one dribble to set up the ball, he
drove it through the net to op en the
deluge.
After three minutes of the second
period had gone by, Patterson started
things rolling with a pass to Ludwig
who gave the ball to Neil Dent . The
latter headed it to Owen Diehl who
lined the pellet squarely between the
uprights to make it 2-0.
Only one minute ..later the Huskies
registered the red light again. Claire
Mensinger crossed one to Ludwig who
passed to Diehl . He bounced the ball
to Conrad who lined it past the goalie
to make it 3-0.
Second Half
The second half saw the Purple and
Orange open up with an offensive , but
the Huskies turned them back . Wi t h
Coach Wisher using his entire squad,
Lincoln started its drive . Then the
Husky defense took charge of things,
and the shutout remained secure .
It was the third straight blackout
for Henry, whose play in the net has
been nothing short of sensational,
Fourteen quarters have now passed
since an opponent last shot the ball
through the Husky goal .

\

Just one year ago tomorrow an underdog Husky eleven rose to gi'eat
heights in edging powerful East Stroudsburg, 7-6, at the Pocono city. That
victory proved to those who might have doubted that the Maroon and Gold
had a football team which in the future wouldn 't be a push over for anyone.
It "might well have been called the turning point in Bloomsburg's attempt
to climb the* football ladd er, for it brought the '46 record to the .500 mark
and set the stage for that final one-sided triumph over Rider.
In the years just prior to the war, Husky f ootball teams were ,
trampled one time after another. It wasn't any fun to see your own
Alma Mater beaten Saturday after Saturday by such great margins.
The physical education schools had it all over the others, for they
attracted many football players. Not being- able to cope with the athletic-minded teachers colleges, the others we're content taking loss
after loss. Many of these doormats marked time after the declaration
of . war in '41. Some dropped the sport in '42, and all but West Chester
curtailed football the following year. Of course the Navy V-12 programs
staged football, but it wasn't the same having those boys represent the
school as it is now when the college football players have a choice of
institutions.
Since that thrilling victory a year ago, the Husky gridsters have come
a long way . Finishing up against Rider a week later, the Maroon and Gold
showed a record of four victories, three losses, and one tie, the best season
since 1935 when Doc Harter and company donned the moleskins. This year
they boast a mark of four wins in six starts, are stationed in fifth place in
the conference standings, and hope to go even higher by repeating with a
win over the Big Red today. Going a bit further they have gained a large
"public alumni" by playing a bruising, razzle-dazzle type of game, which
keeps the fans on edge till the final gun. In any event, the Huskies are almost certain to finish the season above .500 for the second year in a row,
which is quite an achievement .
One * item the Husky eleven still lacks is the ability to make the
extra point good, a point which by the way is giving the coaching staff
gray hair. Including the four misses in four attempts against Kutztown
last Saturday, the record now stands three successes in eighteen tries,
an unenviable record . So long as the powerful machine rolls up enough
touchdowns, some fans point out, the need for the extra point is not so
drastic. However, football loses some of that glamor when the try for
point is missed. The touchdown is all-important, to be sure, but the
crowd goes wild when the extra point is recorded. It might be called
the icing on the cake.
Turning to the other f all sport which is also bringing athletic glory to the
school in no small way, the Husky soccer team is at East Stroudsburg tod ay in one of its toughest tests of the year. Defeated but once in seven games
while rolling up four wins and two ties, the four victories coming in a row,
the Wisher charges have displayed one of the smoothest passing and finest
defensive teams ever to wear the Maroon and Gold. Scoring seventeen goals
in seven games for an average of nearly 2.5 per game, the Husky defense
has held its opponents to nine scores over that span for an enviable mark
of 1.3 per game.
The backbone of this year's soccer team is the eleven which represented the college last year in an abbreviated season. Losing all four'
games within a two week span after practicing only a few days before
the. first game, the Huskies played against some top notch competition
and set the stage for this year's busy season . However, this fall practice began the first day of school, and the results have proved the point
that conditioning is of prime importance in this up and coming sport.
A nice crowd was on hand for last Saturday's game with Lincoln University. The visitors, by the way, said that they appreciated the fine welcome
given them and that they hoped athletic relations would continue between
the two schools . Lincoln presented a clever team, but the powerful Husky
j uggernaut, once started, couldn 't be stopped . Three goals within six minutes
of actual play might be some kind of a record . At any rate, it is demoralizing
to say the least.
. This high flying soccer team may not defeat the Big Bed, we won't
hazard any predictions, but they're certainly going to battle. Part of the
team spirit, prevalent all year, was brought out early this week when
Coach Wisher ordered ten laps around the soccer field on Monday night
followed by twenty on Tuesday evening, Because he was unable to be
there, it was n good chance for the boys to shirk the orders. However,
realizing the tough game ahead they ran the laps.
It was remarked the other day that a night soccer game at Athletic
Park between the Huskies and their bitter rivals, Lock Haven, might go over
big, Both schools have fine records this year, and it was the Bald Eagles who
handed the Maroon and Gold its only defeat , a 2-1 loss in the last quarter.
The other game ended in a 2-2 stalemate after a heated battle. Because all
of "the home games have been played on Saturday, many of the students
have been unable to see the team perform except for Homecoming Day. .
Putting the sport shot here and there. . . . West Chester State
Teachers
College might get a bowl bid this year with so many bowls
being1 reeled off , The Boms have only weak C.C.N.Y, and a battle-torn
Millersville crow to get by for an undefeated, untied season, . . , Slippery Rock Is the first STC to close its football season . They play Geneva
in the finale today. . . All but California and Lock Haven will end tilings
next Saturday, . . . These two teams tangle: at Lock Haven, and the
Bald Eagles will attempt to avenge that shocking' 61-6 massacre administered them by the western Pa. lads last year. . .. A new "bowl",

Huskies Put on Pressure
To Gain Fourth Victory

For two periods last Saturday it
looked as though the Huskies might
be in for a rough afternoon, but once
the offensive started rolling they registered three additional touchdowns
to beat the Golden Avalanche of
Kutztown in the Berks county community by a score of 24-7.
Pestered by fumbles all afternoon,
th e Huskies j ust couldn't get started.
Kutztown had an offense of its own
in the first period and drove 70 yards
for a score with Shugars finally going over. Heckman aided considerably in this march . Coder add ed th e
point from placement .
Huskies Score
Following a 15 yard punt return by
Bernie Rodgers, Matt Maley shot a
pass into the waiting arms of graceful Steve Kriss who was hit on the
one foot line. Jimmy Reedy hit center
for the score . The Huskies missed
the extra point, and the Avalanche .
still led 7-6."
In the third period the Huskies recovered a fumble on the homesters'
10. Maley bulleted one to Georgie
Paternoster in the end zone to make
it 12-7 . Kutztown came back with a
threat and went all the way to the
Huskies' 29 before the stubborn Maroon and Gold defense stopped things.
The Huskies took to the air soon
afterward but lost possession on an
interception on the Kutztown 27. After receiving a punt on their own
47, the Huskies marched 53 yards for
a third score, Kriss going over the
double chalk stripe on a reverse from
the 6.
Kutztown seemed to catch the
fumbling disease and imitated the
fe at on its 30, Kreiser recovering.
After four running plays gained 17
yards, Stan Krzywicki passed to Gazenski for the final touchdown , making the total 24-7.
The Huskies amassed a total of 13
first downs to 7 for Kutztown.
Bloomsburg led in total yardage
(net) , 290 t o 124 . Five fumbles were
recorded by the Huskies, with Kutztown recovering three of them, two
in the first period, one on the Avalanche 4 and another on the 20.

Veteran s
Corner

]
:

A matter of interest to the G.I.'s
of World War II is the veteran 's bonus.
The average state legislator is sensitive to the vote appeal of a soldier's
bonus as evidenced by the almost unanimous maj orities rolled up for bonuses already enacted or awaiting referendum .
Seven states have already authorized bonus payments to their World
War II veterans. In six other states
referenda are scheduled for 1948, and
thirteen states have bonus legislation
pending. Altogether the movement of
bonuses for World War II veter ans
have appeared in 28 states . Maine is
the only defeated state by a popular
referendum .
Both pre-service and current legal
residency are required as conditions
of eligibility by most states; as are
minimum periods of service and "discharge other than dishonorable,"
Each state has had different ways
for parceling out the bonus . Some,
like New Hampshire , give a flat sum
of $100 while others base their rate
on months of service and months of
overseas duty . Nearly all have a
maximum amount any one veteran
may receive .
Here in Pennsy lvania a bonus referendum will be held in 1948 or later
if , next year 's legislat u re approves a
$500 million bond issue to finance the
cost. Under a proposed plan $10
would be given for each month of
stateside duty and $15 a month for
overseas duty with a maximum of
$500.

These hong Sh irts
The food shortage has been extended even to cheese-cake , with the advent of long skirts . This time women's
fashions have gone too far — down !
Unless immediate remedial steps are
taken , the situation is likely to develop into an international squabble between the French designers who
start ed it , and the enraged American
male. Already th ere have been demonstrations against the "New Look"
by organizations at several colleges
throughout the nation . As yet, no organized resistance has begun at
Bloomsburg, but the time is ripe! In
order to find out how things stand
at B.S.T.C., the Maroon and Gold sent
out a side-walk reporter last week to
put his finger on the pulse of opinion.
The question was, "What do you think
of long skirts?"
The first person the reporter asked
was Joe Ber zak . Through his teeth ,
Joe said, "I' m an Art student , fella;
don 't bother me." Then Don Hoar,
"The Sage of Section One,'' came
along, and the sidewalk man put the
question to him . The Sage prophesied
gravely, "Girls won't be getting such
good marks now that skirts are long^
er." Down by Science Hall, the reporter ran into a co-ed who said her
name was Louise Lohr . When he
questioned her, she turned and ran
off toward the Old Gym , screaming,
"Oh, my incision!" in a voice that
Geronimo would have envied . Ju st out
of curiosity , th e reporter followed her,
but he stopped along the way to talk
to Nancy §runstetter, wh6 was leaning against a lamp post . She said she
liked long skirts, so, after pushing her
off the walk and stepping on her face
(this reporter wasn 't entirely un- '
biased) , he went on to the Old Gym.
Just in side the door , he ran into an
exchange student from Arabia , named
Gene AUer u cci , who was indifferent
but did admit that he likes legs.
George Chebro didn 't ' say anything
print able , but right beside him were
Nick Roll and Bill Davis , who both
said , in loud voices , "They stink!"
That was j ust about what the reporter though t, so he bought both of them
a drink— of warm Seven-Up, It seems
that "Th e Iceman Cometh" not to t he
canteen . All the girls flocked around
with artswers , eager to get their
names in the paper , but all of them
were in favor of warm knees . Names
will be omitted to prevent any boycott

Honor Santo Prete
In Birthday Party
A surprise birthday party was held
on the third floor of North Hall on
Thursday, October 30, at 10 P.M . in
honor of Santo Prete of Hazleton ,
who celebrated his twenty - fourth
birthday anniversary. The party was
held by the men of- North Hall with
Louis Pecora acting as general chairman .
In order to keep the party as a surprise to the guest-of-honor, Cha rle s
Shieffer got him to go on a doubleblind-date until party time. Upon th e
return of Mr . Prete at 10 P.M.,
George Thear and his music makers
swung into "Happy Birthday Dear
Santo." There were about sixty guests
in attendance and"there was plenty to
eat and drink for all;
Besides the music of Georg e Thear,
music was provided by Marty Belmont and his "Belmonteers" which
featured Paul Slobozien on the fiddle,
and Pete Parnell on lead trumpet.
Later on in the evening, the two musical organizations combined and paraded around the campus .
At 11 P.M., when Dean Hoch returned to the campus , order was restored and the evening became 1 a

Professor I . M . Allwett , President
of- the Alchemists, Stargazers and
Sore Bunions of America , has announed that there will be no rain for the
rest of the month .
Recently, at a meeting which was
held in the club-rooms located in the
cave behind Science Hall , it w a s m ade
public by the organization that they
had consulted the Farmer's Alman ac,
Black Magic Manual and the Encyclopedia B'rittanica and have concluded that we will have a dry November.
Prof . Allwett stated that since the
Galaxis Nebulae has obscured the
Auror a Borealis'for three consecutive
nights, and since the cumulus clouds
have evaporated , it is reasonable to
expect this dry weather .
We consulted the Science instructor, Mr . Shortiss, who stated that the
U .' S. Weather Bureau had definitely
prophesied rain , but since the Alchem- '
ists , etc., have such a venerable place
on our campus, it is probable that
their word will be taken as final .
So, hang up your waterproofs and
continue to use your boots as ash
trays for the rest of the month. ( Well,
at least , now no one will get hit in
the back with an umbrella.
