Pres* Andruss Heads Group Making Up Bookkeeping Tests The National Office Management Association has invited President Harvey A . Andruss of the Teachers College to serve as chairman for the group of three persons who will prepare the business entrance test in bookkeeping. The United Business Education and the National Office Management Associations sponsor the national clerical ability tests j ointly so that applications for positions in business may demonstrate their 'competence and carry with them to prospective employers evidence of their ability at the time applications are made. If the pressure of administrative duties is not too great, President Andruss will undertake the responsibility for the 1948 tests. He will bring to this task years of experience as originator of the annual commercial contests at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College and as the constructor of the bookkeeping examination given to high school students in Pennsylvania over a period of ten or more years . He is also the author of a standard textbook for teachers now in the second edition under the title of "Ways to Teach Bookkeeping and Accounting." Miss Alice Johnston Speaks Before Allentown P.T.A.

It 's true that several hundred German prisoners at Fort Getty, Rhode Island , were selected and given special schooling, with t h e i d ea that they would be returned to "spread the seeds of democracy t h roug hout Germany. " Actuall y, the program was so little accepted t h at , thoug h the trainees wer< > given special certificates and recommendation s to the Military Government, they were promptly, on returning, lost in the shuffle. T.'ie Information Control Division, as a n a f tert h oug ht , has attempted to make a survey of the attitudes of these people at last , and could onl y l:'ind 78 of them . This may seem to speak well for an attitude of disinterested impartiality on our part , but it probabl y isn 't good sense, If the survey, inadequate thoug h it is, is to be trusted , the trainees show a far better morale and inclination toward good citizenship than is common among other Germans. Probabl y such persons would have been better placed in positions of trust than many Nazis who hoodwinked the occupation ¦ ,, forces. Re-education of the Germans , under any circumstances, is necessary to the peace , and it should not have been brushed off so lig htly as the Military Government apparentl y has done. Camp us Fad • ? ? Once a Weapo n, the Pipe has Weird Past . The American male student likes to smoke a pipe—that's a statement sworn to by advertisers, magazine writers, cartoonists, moving - picture makers, and coeds giving birthday gifts . And from sales figures at campus book stores — it looks as if the statement's no exaggeration. But pipes have taken a strange road to their present campus popularity. They 've been used as weapons, made from animals horns, and have even been shaped to show caste distinctions . Their amusing (and sometimes amazing) history is featured in the current issue of Varsity, the young man 's magazine. • Japan was one of the first nation s to adopt pipe smoking, quickly making it a national habit . Soon metal pipes became the sign of men of distinction , and—the Varsity Magazine article relates-Hnany reached lengths of from two to three feet . Japanese citizens (not permitted to carry weapons in the streets ) carried pipes instead—and used them in so m"any arguments and altercations that a legion of cracked skulls eventually convinced the government to outlaw the pipe. Smoking tools have not always been portable. In Africa (where costumes were too brief to include pockets) , tobacco fans dug a hole in the ground , inserted a hollow reed into it, then made it airtight with packed dirt. To smoke the dried hemp that was put in the hole, the African had to lie flat on his stomach. Although ,there are j ust a few basic varieties of pipes in use today, the Japanese standardized pipe shapes even further for the populace. According to the report: the Japs had different pipes for the military, the common people, and the professional classes , Anyone smoking a pipe designed for another class group was subj ect to death or life imprisonment. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Liter ary Corner The Day Must Dawn — By Agn es Sligh Turnbull (A review) The Day Must Dawn , i s a n ovel of the life in the back country of southwestern Pennsylvania , during the memorable days of our Revolution. The story depicts the struggle of the sturdy Scotch-Irish and English of old Westmoreland county , against the perils of the frontier. In these rou gh , log cabins , built in the locality of present day New Alexandria, Pa., there can be found a strong spirit of family devotion, independence, courage, and endurance. The reader becomes aware of these fine characteristics , as he follows the life of the Murray family. Sam Murray , a robust frontiersman of Scottish ancestry, and his wife, Martha, a woman of strong character, lived near Hannastown. The hardships of pioneering have left their mark upon Sam and Martha. In the first few years of their marriage, they endured several Indian massacres, and lost their , first three babies. Violet , their only living child , naturally became the subj ect of their adoration. Hugh, adopted by the Murrays after his parents were slain by the Indians, added much joy and happiness to the family. Violet and Hugh spent many happy hours together in the woods and working in the shed . But this close brother and sister association was suddenly broken, when they discovered an alarming, passionate feeling of love for one another . Hugh was always a great help to Martha and Sam in building, plant- ' ing, and doing other chores around the cabin . When he left with the regiment of young men in expeditions against the Indians , he was greatly missed by the family. It was during his long stay at Fort Mclntosh that Martha realized , much to her sorrow, that Hugh was in love with Violet. Although she loved the boy as her own son , she planned a different, safer life for her daughter in the East. This plan involved James Brison , who lacked the robust spiri t of the frontier, but longed to study law. Martha wanted for her child the luxury and comforts of an eastern home. Lat er , after Hugh came home to defend his Hannastown , she knew th at this love was too deep to alter. But it wasn 't until she lay upon her death bed, that Martha gave Hugh her blessing and instructions to care for Violet. Religion played a great role in the families of the frontier. The daily reading of the Bible was never neglected in the Murray cabin. When the Blind Preacher came to the little country church there was much excitement throughout the community. Martha looked forward to the service eagerly for there she could visit with her friends, who lived in isolated dwellings in the back woods. In his last service the Blind Preacher tried to give his people words of comfort because of the great Indian danger which increased from day to day. He closed with : "But remember this, that even as my own long night will soon give way to the brightness of Heavens' morning, so f or you too sometime, in some way , the day must dawn." After the brutal attack of the Indians upon Hannastown, Sam Murray decided to move his family into the Ohio country. Violet and Hugh excitedly made plans for their own home, but Martha knew she would never make the j ourney. 'Martha Murray remembered the words of the old preacher, for before she died she gave strength and courage to her loved ones, by whispering those words of the day must dawn . Fashion Flashes . . So boys, get that "Princetonian look." Get that new look!! Girls Take Note . . . . Fashion magazines all over the country have been featuring work of their readers . "Mademoiselle," one of the largest fashion magazines for young women , has really- taken an interest in women between the ages of eighteen and thirty. They are anxious to reflect their point of view.

The M aroon am Gold will travel to Lock Haven nex Tuesday evening , then return horn for a "return engagement with th King 's College Monarchs on Thurs day. Havenites Improve Coach Howard Yost' s Bald Eagler up Lock Haven way are. a vastly different ball club from the one thai appeared here in mid-December. The Huskies triumphed on that particular , occasion , 37 - 34, only after coming j from behind a 7-19 deficit at the end of the first period . Th e ret u rn of George Mitro , whr has been dashing in and out of the Havenite institution the past five years, is the greatest boost to Yost's aggregation. Mitro, former Pottstown High star , is a guard who is an excellent play-maker in addition to being a set shot artist . He is of sm all stature but compensates for it by his speed and aggressiveness . Armand "Buzz" Shaner, the other ex-Pottstown star , will be at one of the forward posts. His accuracy in the set shot department makes him a definite threat. Woody Sehaeffer, bespectacled center, who h as pu lled more than one game from the fire , will be on hand as usual. Eddie Jones kept him bottled up in the first game. John McNaulty, six-foot , four inch guard ; Joe Hutnyan , forward; Geo. Rimmey, forward; and Barnhart , a newcomer, will be available for duty when the Huskies meet the Yostmen in Lock Haven 's spacious field house. A ction In Bloomsburs! - E. Stroudsburg Game After boasting a huge lead of seven to ten points during a major part of the evening, the Huskies finally lost out to a fas t East Stroudsburg five last Saturday night by a score of 5148 in Centennial Gymnasium. Charlie Riiinski, rangy gridiron terminal man, took aim and draped the nets for the game winning shot with only forty seconds remaining. It was Ritinski's second attempt at the basket during the evening, and the goal came from near the center of the court. Boast Big Lead The Huskies started out rather slowly but after calling time out with five minutes to go in the first period and the Big Red ahead , 7-6, the Maroon and Gold grabbed the lead with Bobby Andrews leading the attack . At the end of the first quarter, the Huskies were ahead, 13-7, and this margin was maintained until the last three minutes of play. With Bob Walther, Paul Slobozien, and Andrews taking care of the scorin g, the Huskies increased the lead to 25-18 at half time . Andrews, Kreiser , and Bobby Kashner paced the third period attack as Eddie Jones continued his fine play, and Bloomsburg held a 39-30 lead going into the last period . Stroud Rally Top Mansfield Most recent of the Havenite victories was the overwhelming 65 - 46 defeat handed Mansfield's league-leading Mountaineers . This occurred on the Bald Eagle court much to the ' delight of a sell-out crowd. Many Husky fans are planning to make the trip to Lock Haven , and the Maroon1 and Gold cagers should have plenty ' of help to compete with the partisan . fans of the homesters . Monarchs Play Hero Next Thursday night the King 's College Monarchs will invade Centennial Gymnasium in an effort to avenge a stinging -56 - 45 defeat suffered at the hands of the Huskies on the West Side Armory floor in January. In that "March of Dimes" clash ,* Alex Wawer and Pat McLaughlin , high scoring forward and center, respectively, almost pulled the game out of the fire for , the Monarchs.

Awaiting : a possible rebound are Mike Ewnns , No. 38, and Charle y Ritinski , Big Red guard. ¦ ' ' Wawer got 20 points and McLaughlin 15. Murphy, a veteran guard , set up many of the plays and should cause trouble , Mansfield defeated the Kingsmen by a 55 - 43 score only after a stiff battle. The Kingston school, which dropped only two games all last season, is playing a tough schedule this year and is improving with each tussle. After a most disappointing loss to East Stroudsburgf the Huskies are determined that it won't happen again. Led by Bob Andrews, Eddie ¦ — " k ' Jones, and Elmer Kreiser , the Wishermen are determined to go on a winning streak . Sonny Boyer has been playing in tough luck while Bobby Kashner, who has not been shooting a great deal lately, has displayed a fine floor game. Paul Slobozien seems to be out qf the rut and is starting to play good ball . He is particularly deadly on the Lock Haven floor. If the local lads hope to finish the season above water, they will have to come through in these remaining games. . Under ordinary circumstances, this would appear to be a sufficient lead to rack up the ball game, but such was not the case. Cy Burnoski, who led the East Stroudsburg attack with 19 points, was a demon on the fast break all night . He got loose for two points , but Jones connected with a field goal and foul to give the Huskies their greatest margin all evening. Micker Daniels caged a foul, and Pozda racked up three points . Walther made a foul goal, but Daniels was good on a push shot from the side. Then Jones came through with a fancy shot, bringing it up from the floor (a la Sweet water Clifton ) and received a tremendous ovation. Little did Husky fans dream at this point that the game would be lost. Pozda got a foul but Jones made two, and the Huskies led, 47-39 with four minutes to go. Then the Huskies started playing loose basketball, and it cost them the ball game. That plus the unneeded fouling gave the Big Red more than its share of opportunities, and the visitors made the most of them . (Continued on page 4) Three Classy Columbia Cagers Setting Fast Pace for Huskies Left to right, Glenn VonStetteii, Robert Walther, and Elmer Kreiser, all of Columbia, are helping the Husky cause on the hardwoods this winter.

LUD WIG \ ' , i < t This department is in recent of an answer to the editorial , "Are We Guilty, " which appeared in the MAROON AND GOLD two weeks ago . Since the author of this column happened to write the editorial, we are taking this liberty to reply through this source . One fallacy is apparent in the letter, however. It was not sign ed—thus we cannot print it word for word, for the policy of the paper does not permit . Wo are always glad to have comments from the reading public , but in the future we shall have to ask the writer to include the name . After all, this is a democracy, and no one is going to be punished for speaking his opinion . TIio author of this particular answer to the editorial did not include anything that wouldn 't bo worth printing. Ho (we'll assume) answers it with "Wo Are Not Guilty." The anonymus person begins by saying that the Huskies wore accorded a pleasant welcome when they visited Shippensburg in January but that when the Red Raiders appeared hero they did not use sportsmanlike tactics, pointing out the last two minutes of play when they deliberately attempted to foul Husky players. Wo are not going to defend either side . Instead , we'll speak directly from the facts as they stand . When a team is behind by four points with about two minutes to go (such as was the case with the Shippers ) , that team behind is going to try its best to get the ball—that's only logical , and it is our belief that the average fan expects it. In fact , many fans will give a team the razzberries i£ they do not attempt to get the ball , even by fouling if necessary, Last winter, this writer saw a gamo between two large schools, The ono was loading by a singlo point with two minutes to go. They fro ze the ball during those last two minutes, mainly because the other loam could not got possession . It was not duo to cleverness, particularly, on tho part of the winning team but was largely bocauso tho other team was not aggressive enough to tfot tlio oval. Tho ordinary basketball fan doos not Hko that kind of a gamo. Ho wants to soo it fought out during those last few minutes. Such cannot bo dono unless somo fouling occurs, and man y times It is going to bo intentional . We'll admit that we did not like the show put on by a certain Red Raider, but he was the only one who used such tactics. Barring him , the Raiders displayed fine sportsmanship and a classy ball club. We also pointed out in the editorial that an opposing player rather expected "boos" at times — it's j ust one of those things, v What the writer of this unsigned letter did not include (and what we wanted to drive home in th© editorial ) was that our home fans had been "riding" Husky players. That is the last straw. When things get to tho point that the Huskies prefer to play away from home, it must be pretty bad . However, we might add that tilings have been a little different the last two games. The East Stroudsburg game was disappointing, but it's all history now. Mistakes have been made before, and they will be made again . After all, second guessing is fun anyway. You're never wrong. We are not angry because of this letter . If an editorial can stir up a little argument it has served a purpose. In the future , however, we would appreciate the signature so that it can be printed for the reading public . If someone has a bone to pi ck , let's have it out in public. After scanning over a few of tho exchange papers tho other day, wo camo to the conclusion that many of tho teachers college publications do not operate their sports departments with enough Information on other toams. The homo fans like to read about tho opposition so they know what to expect when tho team visits tho homo campus, It's also good for pulicity 's sake . Many of the papers, however, continue with the old phraseology, "little Is known about tho 'Rodlogv/ or "tho 'Gleamors' will undoubtedly field a strong team." Such words aro merely a waste of space. It isn't treating the opposing school with the consideration it deserves. Usually it occurs because some lazy reporter doesn't have the energy to find anything out (or doesn 't want to). Our policy here Is to give the Big Red Tops Huskies (Continued from page 3) Ritinskl made a foul goal. Andrews matched it . Paul McGovern got a field goal from the circle and made a foul goal . Burnoski was fouled in the act of shooting and made both . The Huskies, attempting a freeze, just did n 't have the manpower to do it, lost the ball, ,and the flashy Burnoski was off again for two points . Again the Maroon and Gold lost the ball, and Ritinski made good his long shot. To make things certain Burnoski broke loose for another field goal. Andrews Leads Huskies On ce more Andrews h eaded th e Husky scoring parade in addition to hi s fine fl oor work . He had five field goals and five fouls for 15 points. Jones came through with ten .

Contrary to last week's standings, the State Teachers College loop is in an uproar as we come down the homo stretch . Mansfield no longer holds a monopoly on the load since it was vanquished by Lock Haven, 65-46. As of Tuesday, the Mountaineers still led by half a game over the onrushing West Chester Rams, who have now won five in a row and appear to bo on their way . . . . Right behind is California, which has improved with each passing game, Millorsville, which appeared here Thursday night, was only ono game out of first place, and Indiana and Clarion both rated as an outside chance. No team has ruled the roost with an iron hand , Upsets have been frequent , and it is going to be interesting to see which team can come through with the bunting. Mansfield is still the favorite despite its loss to Lock Haven, for they still have the advantage in the lost column , As any statistician knows, the difference is more important in the lost column than the won column, (statistically speaking). ..,,,... — .

She says, "Let's!" Then he dances in the dark . . . In the dark about the right way to dance! There are probably any number of mistakes that can be made on a dance-floor; but • it's the considered opinion of Maya Boleyn , international dance instructress , that they all come down to five maj or floor flaws. Commenting in Varsity , the young man 's magazine , Miss Boleyn appealed to the American male to check his dancing against her list . Here are the groupings — in quiz form — as quoted from Varsity : 1.—Are you a "Gorilla-Gripper? " It's hard to tell if this man aims to kill, squeeze, or please. He wraps his arms around a girl's waist in a deathgrip that's against the laws of humanity. Remember — if she can 't b-r-e- a-t-h-e, she certainly can 't dance! 2.—Are you a "Dance - Delinquent?' 1 The rhumbs, the samba, or Tallahassie Twitch, are all the same to this single-track trucker . Rhythm ? He's never heard of it! Somebody ought to tell him that dancing is .moving to rhythm, and each rhythm , see, has its own rules . . . . . 3.—Are you a "Sleepwalker?" This lad bends almost backward as he swoops and glides. He's in a trance, really out of this world — and his partner feels like the model for the Leaning Tower of Pisa . He simply has to straighten up and dance right ! 4.—Are you a "Hypnotist?" The girl who dances with this man needs a course in mental telepathy. He decides on involved maneuvers — but forgets to let his partner know what things are abou t to happen . This chap must think of his strong right arm as a sort of steering wheel—and lead with it , brother , lead. 5.—Are you a "Big Lover?" This fellow can make his eyes glow like hot coals , his voice sound like velvet dynamite . A girl in his arms (he thinks!) is j ust waiting to be led to temporary concealment behind a potted shrub. Actually he is as attractive to her as an ice-cube down her ba ck. Varsity says: to succeed at a dance — DANCE! An Ode to One By One Club News . . ?

College Students To Hold Conference On Government Pennsylvania college students are once more preparing for their annual experiment in applied political science: the meeting of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government Which will be held in Philadelphia from April 8-11. With this year's gathering set as a model national political convention, students on over fifty campuses are now hard at work studying national issues and drafting platform planks. When they meet in Philadelphia, j ust two months before the real conventions and using the customary procedure of the real conventions, they will discuss and approve what they think would be a good national platform. • This will be the third time the Intercollegiate Conference on Government has sponsored a model national political convention ,, earlier such meetings having been held in 1936 and 1940 in Harrisburg.

The Customs Committee reports that new tasks are being prepared to familiarize Freshmen with college traditions and ideals .

My Aching Back!! Familiar? Are you still suffering from this painful service-connected disability called goldbrickitis ? If you are — and the V.A . thinks you are — you may now apply for treatment under Public Law 293, and , with the aid of your local Osteopathic Physician , work towards overcoming this "boon of the weary dogface, the aching back." Take it easy men , line forms at the right! So in the best of service tradition , "Hurry and Wait!" j Transferring? In case you are one of the G.I.'s contemplating a transfer to another institution , it might be wise to notify the Veteran Administration of your intention before you discontinue here at Bloomsburg. The V.A . urges this early notification because of tho vast amount of paper work necessary to complete a transfer . Then too, there are a few schools not approved for G.I. training, and your choice of schools must be approved before you can receive any educational b e n e f i t s . (That moans those monthly checks , Buddy !) However, the V.A. emphasized that the number of unapproved schools is small ; and that they have no obj ections whatever to a veteran who wishes to change schools , but they urge, for your convenience, as well as their's, a prior notification . Last week wo promised further information on the question of "Can a G.I. finish school (under the G.I. Bill) after he has used up his allotted time?" Due to the illusive nature of our local V.A . representative , who we've been unable to locate, we arc asking for an extension of time—but we'll have it for you , so keep an eye pooled in this direction . \ !
