WASHINGTON DANCE Madison , Wis.—(Special)—Pressure from a number of student and veteran groups from coast to coast, including the National Student Association (NSA) was largely responsible for passage of the Meade bill Tuesday (February 3) for increased veteran student subsistence. The bill, which passed the Senate last summer, provides for $75 monthly for student vets without dependents and $105 for those with one dependent . It also provides for a $120 monthly subsistence for veterans with two or more dependents . It passed in the house overwhelmingly, 370-6. NSA last month sent bulletins to member students governments thruout the nation urging them to push the bill. The bulletin urged student government leaders to write to House leaders, "describing in detail the situation on your campus and express your views on the raise in veterans subsistence." The immediate obj ective was to have the bill called from the House rules committee. The NSA bulletin strongly urged that student governments "demand of the leaders of the House that they allow the subsistence bill to be placed on the floor for immediate action." While the Congressional action is considered a victory for NSA and other student organizations backing th e bill, NSA has sought to have the bill amended to include increases as provided in the original Rogers Bill. This provided for $100 for single vets and $125 for student vets with dependents . "We feel that some sort of bill to increase subsistence will be passed by the Congress," the bulletin stated. "There are only the questions, when and how much . Needs indicate the high figure , consequently we favor increases to that figure." Scouts Enjoy Swim At B, S, T. CX Twenty - five Boy Scouts passed their first class swimming require ments in tests given Monday, February 9th at the B.S.T.C. pool during the annual swimming party sponsored by the Teachers College, as an anniversary week feature .

No accidents marred the evening due to the vigilance of the life guards , Ben Pollock , Harry Reitz, Walter Bird, Donald Rudy, Frank Todd, and Mark Jury. The swimmers were divided into four groups with each taking its turn in the pool .

And the technique is unvarying, according to an article by Alice Leone Moats in the February issue of Junior Bazaar entitled "How to Spot a Wolf." "The technique of wolves seldom differs," the article states in part. "Young ones use it by instinct and aren't necessarily aware that they are using a technique; older ones have perfected and given it pol.sh and they know exactly what they are doing. Aside from that difference, the methods are the same. Their technique might be compared to that 1 of the jujitsu artist who defeats his opponent by making him use his own strength against himself. A wolf keeps stepping back and letting the girl come forward , until , in her eagerness, she falls on her face—to put it politely." Uncertainty is one of the chief weapons of the wolf . At the end of his first date he will murmur something about calling you again sometime and then let you sweat it out Fashion Flashes Marvin Menealy Ann Papania for a few week s, wondering why he hasn't called . Another wolf approach is his declaration that he "doesn 't like casual affairs." "The moment a man says that, run for your life," th e article continues. "You may be certain that they are all he does like, and the more casual the better . Naturally they have to be casual on his side only. Part of the fun is making you think that this is the real thing, this is for keeps." When your new boy friend confides pensively that he "has been terribly hurt by a woman, " b eware , because to the trained ear this wolf call is as recognisable as The Star-Spangled Banner . And wittingly or unwittingly the wolf is aware of the fact that most women want to be needed. Therefore the work he is doing is never what really suits him, but with you at his side he could really accomplish great things. When he finally slips out of your life either through an adroitly engineered (luarrel or a gradual disappearance, you can console yourself that you will not be forgotten immediately — when he starts to work on your successor, you will live on as the woman who "hurt" him, the arti:£_ cle concludes. ? ? ? This season woman are beginning to think about the coming spring. With spring comes the bevy of new fashions . These new costumes are styled similarly to those of this winter, but the fabrics are fine cottons and silks, New plaids, new prints, and every design that adds color to the look has been manufactured .

Let two words, grace and blending be your watch words, | LITERARY CORNER THE MARINES' WAR By Fletcher Pratt ( Reviewed by Pierre C. Fraley)v From N . Y , Herald Tribune Authors of military books abou'* World War II fall into three catagories — milit ary experts who become writers, writers who become military experts and those who are neither. Fletcher Pratt is a writer who turned military or rather naval expert. He has been able to combine his military knowledge and his writing skill in such a way as to produce one of th e most colorful and interesting books on the Pacific war . The book does not attempt to be the final or definite history of the Marines ' part in the amphibious warfare of the Pacific . It is subtitled, "An account of the struggle for the Pacific from both American and JapanBss sourcm,- and is designed te be a summary for the general public or for those with a particular interest in the theater of operations. The outstanding characteristics of the Marines ' war was velocity . This •characteristic was seen in the individual operations, such as Tarawa, and in the over-all planning which kept the Japs continually off balance. Pratt's story-telling skill and his rapid style are admirably suited to portray this velocity. He is experienced enough to know how to use a minimum of detail to achieve a maximum of effect . During the , first part of the Guadalcanal campaign , one of the maj or handicaps to our forces was the dearth of warships, particularly battlewagons. When the battleships and other large craft arrived in numbers, the tide started to turn. Here's the way Prat t describes the turning point: "The report was the Japs were coming down with heavy fences to bombard and the two (PT 's) went out to stop them , their crews feeling a little lower than worms, for what could they do against a fleet ? To their knowledge they were the only surface force left to tfee U . S. Navy in the Solomons, the only force that could figh t at night. They were off Cape Esperance, and it was well that they were there for their TBS registered the most dramatic order of the war : "This is Ching Chong Lee . Get out of the way ; I'm coming through.' "The Battleship had arrived. " They were the Washington and the South Dakota under Rear Admiral Willis A . Lee and they did a good night's work . They eliminated the Japanese Southeast Area Fleet. During the war, frictions were bound to arise between the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, especially under a system where autonomous services were placed under the control of other commands . The bitterest of these frictions and one that was the subj ect of a heated controversy all the way back to the States broke out during the Saipan invasion, ^ The details are technical and- are discussed • in some length by Pratt , who is not reluctant to re-open Paff aire Smith . And he is not hesitant to disclose that it is his opinion that the Marines were in the right and the Army in the wrong. The controversy concerned the activities of the 27th Division , a New York National Guard outfit under the command of General Ralph C. Smith . The 27th was committed at Saipan and soon fotind itself in the center of a line against the Valley of Hell with the 4th Marine Division on one sid e and elements of the 2d Marine Division on the other . Fast company. Another Gen eral Smith , Holland M., USMC, nicknamed Howlin' Mad , Smith , was in command of the exp editionary forces . According to Pratt , several elements of the 27th were slow in moving, with the result that the Marine divisions had to halt and beat off attacks against their flanks. When evening fell our attack "had everywhere abj ectly failed." After a conference with Admiral Spruce , in over-all command, General Ralph Smith was relieved of command . In a footnote he says, "The situation with regard to Japanese defenses and the question of whether Marine tactics were expensive in lives is beside the point. General Ralph Smith was clearly removed because of the complete lack of coordination in the movements of his division on 23 June, with formations attacking late and not together; because this sacrificed lives not only in his own units but also among the Marines on the flanks, and because Ralph Smith had assumed an authority (over part of the 105th) that did not belong to him." Pratt points out that the division was a good one and fought well. He quotes Napoleon as saying that there are no bad regiments, only bad colonels. During the war the role of the military expert became clouded and confused. When he confined himself to analysis of strategy and tactics , he was performing a useful and meaningful function , and one for which he was trained . However , when he indulged himself an omniscient clairvoyant, predicting the course of the war, he was more often performing a real disservice to the American people and to the high command . More often than not the expert was wrong in his predictions in which case no one benefitted . If he chanced to be right, he made no valid contribution to the prosecution of the war and might stumble on some military secret which could endanger a campaign . Now the war is over the military expert can return to his proper field , the analysis of tactics ,and strategy. In the case of Fletcher Pratt, the return means a highly informative and interesting book, Plan To Attend the Geo. Washin gton Dan ce East Stroudsburg Here Tonight, Millersville Next Thursday in Headline Campus Sports Attraction East Stroudsburg will pay its revived annual visit to Bloomsburg tonight in one of the main attractions of the basketball season . This game marks the beginning of the final home stand of the Huskies, bringing Millersville, King's College, and Kutztown here in t ha t order . The Big Red, coached by Ray Welch, former Washington and Jefferson mentor , suffered a stinging 5540 defeat at the hands of the Wisher crew in the Pocono city two weeks ago, and th ey 'll be aft er the Huskies' scalps this evening. Beat Scran t on Fresh from a last second victory over the University of Scranton , the Big Red will *bring a short but fast team to Centennial Gym .

At the other forward post is Jackie Swartz, most consistent scorer on the squ ad , and a defini te th r eat to Husky aspirations this evening. Other valuable men include McGovern, center, and Micker Daniels and Charlie "football" Ritinski, guards. Manning is ineligible this year. Last Saturday evening the Big Red lost a close tussle to powerful West Chester, 52-49, the same margin by which the Huskies lost to the Rams here. The Huskies need this game to stay upstairs in ' the conference race and at the same time improve their standing amdng the all-state race. Rivalry Renewed After last year 's lapse when schedule difficulties could not be ironed out , East Stroudsburg is again on the Husky card, arid local basketball fans are glad to see the Big Red reappear. Bloom-Stroud clashes of past years have been of the close, thrilling variety, and tonight' s game should be the same. The Huskies, with a well-rounded group of basketeers, have shown signs of brilliance on occasions, but other times have presented mediocre basketball . Banull, Boyer , Kashner, Jones , Kreiser , Andrews, and Slobozien have all been outstanding at one time or another with possibly Andrews being the most consistent . Mlllersville Next Next Thursday night Millersville State will play here, and this, too, promises to be one of the best games of the year, for the Millers are the mqst improved team in the circuit. They have just won five in a row, including victories over Bloomsburg, Shipp ensburg, Lock Haven, ( twice), and powerful Westminster . Boasting a fast team built around Schultz, speedy forward, who has always been a thorn in the Huskies' side, the Marauders will bring a veteran team to Bloomsburg. Whitey Korkuch , Shamokin pivot man , has replaced DePoe, last year's center, and the switch has done wonders to this Miller team . Operating with exactly the same team a year ago, the Millers were a moderate ball club, but they now have the spark necessary for winning garnos.

LUDWIG j : Upon scanning back through some of the "Obiters" of past years, we saw something that migh t well be revived here on the campus. "Roongo," for years mascot of Husky athletic teams , has faded from the picture. With him went much * of the college spirit, for he was symbolic of the never-giveup typ e of play which is now returning to B.S.T.C. For those who are acquainted with Roongo , we will tell what little we know about him . The first of the Husky dog's made its appearance about 1930 due to the kindness of our own Prof . George J. Keller , who included among: his various animals several Husky dogs. Fans and students attending athletic events took Roongo 's presence as a matter-ofcourse. When Roongo I passed on, Roongo II replaced him, and the spirit of Husky athletic teams did not die. It was during the late thirties that the last of the Roongo's served as Husky mascot. Roongo had been an institution himself , and Husky students felt they had lost part of the school. At the time it was impossible to replace the last of the loyal dogs, and for a while the matter was forgotten . Right now we'r e wondering whether or not it would be possible to revive Roongo as the Husky mascot . He was undoubtedly the most attractive mascot in the teachers college circle . Roongo was a symbol of sportsmanship, courage, and loyalty. We don't know who was responsible for his name, but the person who thought of the idea certainly came up with a good one. The last four letters of the word "maroon" and the first two letters of the word "gold " were combined to give him an attractive, spectacular monikor to go with his personality. Yes, the Husky is gone but not forgot ten. It would be a fine objective for some campus organization to start the ball rolling to get another "Roongo. " 1 LOOPING THE LOOPS . . . . Let 's take a glance at the State Teachers College Conference race. Including games of last Monday night , Mansfield's high flying Mountaineers are in first place with five wins and no losses. Now the Caseymen have had several close shaves during those five clashes, including two point and one point victories over the Huskies. Another win was a 35-34 decision over Lock Haven . Mansfield is a favorite to win the title, for the northern tier lads have risen to the occasion when needed . Undoubtedly the most improved team in the loop and the one most likely to give Mansfield trouble is Millersville. The Marauders started out poorly, losing exhibitions to LaSalle and Westminster, then dropping conference tests to both Kutztc vvn and Mansfield. Then they started a five game winning streak, taking Lock Haven , Bloomsburg, Shippensburg, Westminster, and Lock Haven in that order . The triumph over powerful Westminster demonstrated that the Millers mean business. Apparently, the down-staters have a team that resembles past Millersville quintets , and the game here next Thursday night should pack the house. When Mansfield plays at Millersville, it should pretty well decide how the race will come out. The Marauders have lost but two games on home boards this winter, and both were exhibition tussels. Clarion 's Golden Eagles, in second place according to percentage, w ill not figure in the race, for they play only seven league tilts. Indiana, which has but one loss, is eligible, for the Bravcmen will total ten loop games before the season ends. West Chester, Shipp ensburg, anu Bloomsburg have an outside chance, but certain things would have to happen before any of the three could come through with the crown. Our own Huskies have four conference games to play and to mathematically figure in the race they will have to win all four . Mansfield and the other teams would have to lose sufficient games to show a percentage lower than .714, which is the mark the Huskies will have should they win the remaining four . The rest of the teams will serve as stumbling blocks for the first division quintets attempting1 to climb nearer the top. California, Slippery Rock, Lock Haven, and Kutxtown all are capable of upsetting the favorites, the first two playing mostly in the west and the last two named taking: it out on the eastern schools. Even Edinboro and East Stromlsburg can cause trouble. The Big Red has three losses, but all have boon by close scores, John Hoch, publicity director of the college and also promoter of the annual high school basketball tournament , is busy lining up teams for the big March event, Games will be played on March 4 , 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13. Classes A, B, and C will again comprise the divisions, and a record-breaking list of entries is in prospect. Some of the best teams in Central Pennsylvania have been lined up, and this tournament promises to break all past records. With the spring season not so many weeks away, baseball and track candidates are thinking: of the warmer weather which should bo In prospoet If the law of averages lives up to Its reputation. Tlio baseball team ' will play eleven games and the track squad has listed six dual moots, the Penn Relays, and the State Meet. This is by far the busiest track season In history and promises to revive the sport which made the local Huskies rise to national fame . Even while that long 28 dual moot winning streak was on, the Huskies usually called it a busy spring: with five such moots. However, this Is In line with the Husky policy of scheduling; more athletlc events, and we might add It's a good one. The Campus Spotlite Snow wasn't the only thing in the air last Saturday—we hear that some of Cupid' s darts were floating around too!
