Golf — Part of the familiar saying, "The course of tru e golf never runs smooth." ! —The Clarion Recommend Salary Hikes Washington , Jan . 25 — More and better teachers for colleges and universities through increased salaries and an expanded program of preparation to teach were recommended today by President Truman 's commi ssion on higher education . In its fourth of six reports looking to educational opportunity for "every American to the fullest extent of his ability, " the commissioner's report today dealt with "staffing higher education " and said: "The serious problems which confront higher education today only foreshadow the even greater problems of the years ahead . Accelerating social change , increasing demands for world citizenship, pyramiding technological developments, greater emphasis upon ethical ideals —all create demand for qualities in faculty personnel now too rare on college and universi ty campuses. " The commission said that if "quantitative and qualitative " demand s are to be met, immediate steps must be t aken to: 1—Give better preparation to larger numbers of prospective faculty members. 2—Improve the present methods of recruitment, selection , and placement of faculty personnel . 3—Develop and expand in-service education programs. 4—Enhance the working conditions of all who carry the responsibility for post-high school education. The commission said that even in the "strongest" institutions the average salary for teachers in 1946-47 wa s $3,867 for a 9-month period. The "average " physician would make twice that , the "average " r eal estate salesman in a city of 50,000 about 50 per cent more, it added . "The professor in 1947," the report said , "taught more students , worked longer hours, shouldered graver responsibilities, and received substantially less real income than he did in 1940 . 'Many institutions were m aking significant increases, but the maj ority of the faculty salaries had not kept pace with inflated living costs." The commission recommended that : 1—The beginning salary should be sufficiently high to meet competition and to attract outstanding talent. 2—There should be early increases in salary sufficient to hold excellent teachers and research specialists . 3—The salary schedule should provide for reasonable increases based upon satisfactory performance within each cates-orv of rank. Bloomsburg Only Teachers College in National Program The distinction of being the only institution of its kind participating in the nationwide testing program of the American Institute of Accountants belongs to the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Sixty-seven leading universities and colleges throughout the United States are participatin g in the A.I.A . program which has as its primary purpose the promotion of better education among institutions which are preparing persons for the accounting profession , Bloomsburg is the only State Teachers College on the 1948 list of cooperating institutions which includes such nationally-famous schools as the Harvard University School of Business, Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and Schools of Business and Commerce at the University of Wisconsin , University of Michigan , University of Southern California , and others . *The American Institute of Accounttants, the national organization of certified public accountants , inaugurated this proj ect a number of years ago in order to improve the education of students in the field of accounting. An improvement in instruction in public school accounting courses has been another important outgrowth of the program . All students majoring in accounting at Bloomsburg will take the examination which consists of a prognostic or general accounting aptitude test and two comprehensive achievement tests. The tests are given at the end of the third and sixth semesters of the accounting course. Results are interpreted in terms of nationwide norms * or standard s, and Bloomsburg students can measure their progress and ability with comparable scores in the sixty-six cooperating colleges. Earl A . Gehrig, instructor in accounting in the Department of Business Education , administers the local program . Gehrig stated yesterday that Bloomsburg students rate well in comparison with hundreds of other accounting students who have taken the tests during the past year. ATTENTIO N !

All of the sixteen men who will receive their diplomas upon completion of the current semester are veterans of World War II and most of them attended Bloomsburg before en tering the armed f orces. The convocation, climaxed by the presentation of the candidates for degrees by Dr . Thomas P. Nor th , Dean of Inst ru ction at th e College, was featured by a timely address by President Harvey A. Andruss. Speaking on the subj ect , "Dilemmas of Today," President Andruss claimed that one of the marks of an * educated man is his ability to look beyond the ever - simplifications of ready-made thinking of news commentators and newspaper headlines „ and take the long view in order , to make this world a better place in which to live. He urged his audience to avoid being forced to choose between two alternatives — dilemmas set up with the thought that in the choice we will reach a predetermined opini on . During his address, the College head warned his listeners of the dangers of over-simplification and in choosing alternatives, either of which would cause us to supplant what we have with something new or untried rather than supplement it with something better . He indicated that many times we do the right things for the wrong reasons, but if the eventual effect is wholesome, one should not question the motives if the means is offered to improve the world in which we live. During the program , President Andruss read the Scripture lesson which was chosen from the twenty - fifth chapter of St. Matthew and Joseph Curilla , Mt . Carmel, san g a baritone solo, "Ask For Nothing More" by Deis - Swinburne. His accompanist was Miss June Keller, Benton . Audience singing of "America the Beauti-. ful," which opened the convocation, and the College Alma Mater, which closed the exercises, was under the direction of Miss Harriet M. Moore. Howard F, Fenstemaker, Sr., was at » the console of the organ . Graduates who are completing the requirements * for the degree are: Paul Baker, Bloomsburg, Business; Edward Bollinger , Erie, Secondary; Rosanna Broadt, Bloomsburg, Secondary; Joseph Chesney, Mt , Carmel, Secondary; Anna Cumberland, Hunlock Creek , Secondary; John Davis, Kingston , Business; Doris Hosier, Bloomsburg, Business; Clement Koch Shenandoah , Business; Lewis Kohn, Wilkes-Barre, Business; Ellen Moore Lapski, Edwardsville, Secondary; John Longo, Sheppton , Business ; Fran k Molinaro , Pittsburg, Cal., Secondary; ( Continued on page 6) ?

I do everything from passing out drinking cups to taking B-B' s out of little boys ears with a magnet. (I am a science teacher you see. ) Oh , to be back in a nice soft , comfortable seat in B.S.T.C. without a care in the world except maybe to wonder whether next month's check will be on time . The one serious thing I would like to sfj y is that when I speak of my "h ome " to anyone I shall always mean Bloomsburg in great part because of the fine times and fine friends I have had there. I will never forget the valley. And now since I have had my say I must go out and talk to my car and see whether or not I walk again tomorrow. Goodbye to you all . Sincerely, Ed. Bollinger" 1948, A Good New Year And, so, here we are in another new year—1948—another twelve months for a new start. What should be our resolutions — as Americans — for this new year ? These thret? are worth considering. First of all, let's all of us work together as never before—on our j obs, in our homes and in our social and religious groups. Teamwork helps us accomplish big things—an d it's so much more fun to work together than to pull apart . Next, how about all of us doing a better j ob, no matter what our job may be? There 's satisfaction in knowing that we're doing better this year than last year — let's do it better. Finally, wouldn't it be a good thou ght for 1948 to keep promoting freedom under our American System ? In a world where freedom is still being attacked, let's fight for our own ideas of freedom—freedom for the individual, freedom for business—ideas of freedom that have helped make- this the' greatest country on earth. 1948~-a good new year for working together, doing a better job, promoting freedom-—all in the American Way. , A wonderfu l cnstm l coal to bo worn In both the town nntl is shown above aa pictured in the Jnnutiry issue of Junior It is baby blue full length , 1) 2 In ch nwecp in the skirt.

With Bobby Kashner pouring in 22 markers, well - distributed over the four quarters , and Eddie Jones coming back with some valuable assistance in the final canto , the Maroon and Gold fought back to win from the Brockmen . The Huskies had taken a 28-18 lead at halftone, and the crowd thought it looked like the ball game. However , the rangy King's team rallied and went ahead , 31-28, before Bloomsburg could score again . At one time late in the third quarter, . the homesters led, 36-31. In addition to Kashner and Jones, Bob Walther, Bob Andrews, Sonny Boyer , and Elmer Kreiser played a prominent part in th© la§t period surge when the Huskies tallied 22 markers.

That is good considering: the schedule; however, had they played consistent ball at least two of those setbacks could easily have been triumphs. Three of the defeats inflicted upon the Wishermen have been close games. The Elizabethtown tilt went an extra pejriod ; West Chester and Mansfield both won in the waning- minutes of play; and the Millersville loss was suffered in the last period . On the other hand , the Maroon and Gold have turned in several sparkling wins. Apparently the Huskies do better away from home than on the home boards of spacious Centennial Gymnasium", for te dat€ they have won four or five games played on foreign boards . Victories over West Chester, Kutztown, Shippensburg, and King's College all came away from home. Parti cul arly, the Shippensburg and West Chester wins were amazing in view 6f the fact that Husky teams in the past have experienced no end of trouble attempting to defeat the Rams and Red Raiders on their home floors. Only one victory has been achieved in the confines of Centennial Gym, but that was a thriller all the way. The Huskies came back to beat an arch rival of many years, Lock Haven , after being down, 19-7, at the first quarter mark. The Temple, Elizabethtown, West Chester, and Mansfield tussles, all here, resulted in defeats. If the Huskies are going to remain anywhere near the top of the conference race they will have to put on the pressure the rest of the way. Seven more conference tests remain, however, and if Wisher 's charges get a whining: streak they may have something:. On the basis of that performance against Shippensburg-, we know they have the stuff . Shippensburg, incidentally, displayed some of the best sportsmanship ever accorded an opponent when t'he Huskies visited the Cumberland Valley institution last Saturday night. The fans were well-mannered, they gave Husky players a hand when they came through with a good play, and the starting five of the Maroon and Gold was given a tremendous ovation when they left the game shortly before the final buzzer . That is something at which we should all attemp t to equal . When Shippensburg pays a visit here Tuesday night , let 's at least show them we can return the courtesy. The Red Raiders had been riding on the crest of an undefeated victory string of four straight, and they looked like a sure winner in the conference race. They aren't out of it by any means, but the Husky victory knocked them from the ranks of the unbeaten. Shippensburg: had averaged 65 points per game before the Maroon and Gold held them to a meagre 35. The Shippers included among their vanquished powerful Mt. St. Mary 's, of Emmitsburg, Maryland , a team which lost to Villanova only by two points. The play of Bob Andrews and Walter Banull in the Mansfield fracas was encouraging, Andrews' play has been outstanding during the ten games thus far, and we pointed him out after the first two games as one of the steady Husky performers . His shooting kept Bloomsburg in the ball game' against Mansfield, and his "stellar floor play once again gave the Huskies confidence. Banull, who had been starring for the Jayvees, turned in a fine j ob. He scored eight points, and his ball handling was terrific. He certainly should fit in the Husky pattern during the next nine games. His overthe-head set shot is a hard one to stop, and his off-balance pivot shot is * another headache to opponents. Eddie Jones continued his fine work at center, and it seems that ho has finally hit his true stride. The Temple Owls, who appeared here in the opening game of the season, then won four more in a row including a victory over the nation's number one team, Kentucky, then proceeded to lose four in succession , concluded another "four" bracket last Saturday evening by nosing out previously unbeaten LaSalle, 52-50, on a last minute field goal by Wally Hatkevitch. The Owls of Josh Cody have now won nine and lost four and are becoming recognized as a giant killer. The quintet of Dave Fox , Nelson Bobb, Eddie Lerner , Ike Borsavage, and Dave Ballots looked good when they were here, but we are still wondering what the score might have been had the Huskies been "on" as they were against Shippensburg. A sharp-shooting quintet from Shamokln pounded the Husky Pups • in the preliminary to the Mansfield thriller hero last Monday night by a 34 to 10 margin . Except for the first period, in which the Junior Varsity held the visitors to one field goal, the Sliamokin team had little trouble with the ( Continued on page 6) , I .. - ..' : '.
