Back in the lighter vein, Wild Hobby Horses, a farce with Gladys Kuster, Harry Reitz, Robert Wise, William Stimeling, Zita Spangler, Audrey Terrel, and Nancy Powell, closed the curtain on the evening's performance. Miss Alice Johnston directed the three plays, a committee headed by Katherine Graham handled sets, and Lucy Jane Baker acted as property manager. Barbara McNinch and Jane Price were prompters. The stage set committee, included Santo Prete, Russell Davis, Paul Keener, Charles Scott, and Richard Kressler.

Seventy percent of the B.S.T.C. enrollment went to the polls Thursday after a spirited campaign put on " by the candidates. No other election in the history of the campus has attracted so much interest or enthusiasm. Huge glaring posters in brilliant color created great splashes of color in th e various areas where students congregate. The walls of the newly furnished Waller Hall gymnasium and corridors of campus buildings and dormitories bore the evidence of hard work and planning by campaign committees eager to see their candidates elected. Spotlighted banners hung from dormitory windows at night, urging students to vote for "Swiggy, " while placards posted near the water fountains advised drinkers to "Quench your thirst and satisfy your mind with a vote for Purcell." One enterprising candidate for the office of Vice President passed out toothpicks to students passing thru the cafteria line in the College dining room , while his opponent retaliated with colorful packages of paper matches. Gifts of chewing gum and cigarettes were much in evidence as enterprising committeemen sought to sway voters' opinion. The election procedure, patterned after public elections was set up by an election board of which John Morgan, Old Forge, and Julia Pichel, Hellertown, were the co-chairmen. The board and the election officials were advised by Robert Van Sickle, deputy treasurer for Columbia Coun* ty in a special meeting. Other board members were Eloise Noble, June Saxton, Robert Reitz , Frank Dean, Kenneth Wire, Jack Cillung. Election officials were sworn in by Charles Scheiffer, Steelton, in special ceremonies observed today in the weekly assembly program held in the Carver Hall auditorium. Students who served as judge of election were Edward Baker, Spring City; Donald Maietta, Williamsport, and Mildred Palumbo, Mt. Carmel. Majority inspectors were Gloria Galow, Hazleton; Charles Boyer, Pottsville ; Matt Maley, Pottsville, and Berdine Logar, Weston. Minority inspectors were Rose Thompson; Towanda; Marcella Evasic, Luzerne, and John Morgan. Those who helped as minority clerks were Mary Ellen Grube, Bethlehem; Joe Sopko, Carbondale; Phillip Joseph, Easton, and Shirley Donnelly, Willow Grove.

(Because press time was Thursday, it was impossible to get the results before the deadline) . Intramural Meet Before taking the field against the Red Raiders from down Cumberland Valley way. Coach Peter Wisher got a line on some good material from the intramural meet which was held at the beginning of the week. The 100 yard dash saw three freshmen take the first three spots. Conrad, Feese, and LePard finished in that order with a time of 10.4. These boys are expected to carry the brunt of the dashes for this year. Thompson, a vet eran from last spring, won the shot put with a heave of 38 feet, 8 inches. Mike Krepich finished second and Jarmen third. All are members of the sophomore class. Distance Johnny Magill, senior distance star, won the mile with a time of 5.12, while Drenn en , anoth er vet eran and a sophomore, came in runner-up. In th e half mile, Urban, a sophomore took the event at 2.17. Conrad was second and Herb third. Following the Scranton meet oh Wednesday, the Huskies will participate in the Penn Relays at Philadelphia next Saturday. Wisher is now busy selecting five men to fill the required places. Normally, four are listed with an alternate also selected. The Maroon and Gold trackmen will meet six foes in dual competition within 28 days. In addition, the Penn Relays and State Meet will provide plenty of activity for the Wishermen.

Pennsylvania. , '/ t THE SPORT S DIARY by M1LLARD C. LUDWIG ! : \ Jupiter Pluvius certainly plays hob with a college spring sports schedule. Because temperature alone permits only approximately six weeks of weather permissible to play spring sports, the time is short , and it is exceedingly difficult to make up postponements. Take the Lock Haven-Husky baseball clash, for example, listed f or Wednesday af ternoon. The rain date was set for Thursday. If rain forced the postponement again , a third rain date of Monday, April 26, seemed the only time in which the game could be played. In the event that it would be played at that time, three games would be reeled off that particular week, for regularly scheduled contests are listed with Mansfield and King's College. Coach Redman pointed out the fact that it certainly played hob with the pitchers. That certainly is true, for when you begin to figure out strategically who will be more effective against certain teams, then rain sets in , everytliing is mixed up. The schedule angle is not as simple as it sounds, for both teams must agree on a make-up date, and not all teachers colleges are playing every Wednesday and Saturday as is the case with Bloomsburg. The Husky nine will appear in new uniforms the first time they take the field. Donned with white suits, appearing against blue lettering (H-U-S-K-I-E-S) three inches across the front, the Maroon and Gold colors will be absent. This is due to the fact that suits now come in sets, and it was impossible to order specific colors unless a three months period of delivery was acceptable. Such could not be, so the Huskies will appear in a very attractive blue and white uniform. Blue caps and blue socks will finish the complete uniform. Jackets have been ordered , and it is hoped that they will arrive soon. They will be blu e with a gold "B", six inches high, bordered by a Maroon top. We will further explain that the blue and white is standard, and for this reason it is possible to get them on demand. Wayne VonStetten and Charles Kasmerovicz, both star quarterbacks on the Husky eleven, were sent to the Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia this week by Coach Redman to iron out shoulder ailments which bothered the boys during the past gridiron season. At the hospital they were under the watchful eyes of Dr. John Royal and Dr. John R. Moore, the latter being recognized as probably the finest of surgeons in this particular field. Husky fans are pulling for both boys to come out in top notch condition in order that they will be ready to face a tough season next fall. Shippensburg, which was a power in both football and basketball during the past year, looks as though it will present baseball and track teams of equal calibre. The baseball team , which appears here next Wednesday, banged out a lopsided 16-2 victory over a supposedly strong Indiana State Teachers nine. The Shippers have ?¦. veteran team on hand, including 14 holdovers from last spring. The track 'team, paced by dash man Ed Utz , of Biglerville, and Hatfield, star pole vaulter , beat the Huskies soundly last year. Shippensburg won six and lost two during the football season and triumphed in 11 of 16 appearances on the hardwood. It looks like a banner year for the Red Raiders. According to reports, no trophy will be handed out this spring to the champion of the mythical teachers college baseball conference. Nothing has yet been done officially to signify such intentions. Thus, the awkward method goes on in determining a champion. Since the war ended , not one title has been won by any teachers college, with the exception of Lock Haven 's basketball team in '4G-'47, unless the crown was challenged by some school with a record almost equal that of the winning team according to percentage. Before the war, baseball was the only '••• organized portion of the mythical set-up, but that, too , lias gone by the boards. It is reported that some schools do not wish to enter the teachers college field with emphasis, but our answer is that if they do not , then let them stay out. Some day, when the fruits of victory are not so plentiful and the big colleges do not desire to play them, they will want to come back. There is a point to the argument. These schools that wish to play colleges outside of the teacher circle claim they do so because the competition within the tutor ranks is such that a strong athletic program is not possible. All we have in answer to that is to say, "look at Bloomsburg's program." Seven of the eight football tilts were within the conference; 14 of the 19 basketball clashes were loop games; and nine of the 11 baseball, arid four of the six track meets were with teachers colleges. No contest was a set-up, and yet Husk/ teams participated in some very good "exhibition" tiffs with non-conference schools. One fine addition to the fall football schedule is West Chester State, long a power in the conference. The Rams replace Clarion, and King's College, a natural rival , is listed in place of Rider College, with whom the Huskies had a two year contract. A natural rival is an advantage to a school, for it not only solves the traveling problem but also helps tlie gate. King 's College, from the calibre of its athletic teams to date, will bo one of those. Another possibility is Lycoming College In WHliamsport, If this school can produce alonff with King's, it would bo another natural rival. f¦ Horner Cites Need For Better Outlook A stirring appeal for a Christian outlook in a troubled world was made by Norman S. Homer, mi ssion ary and special representative of the National Student Service Association in an assembly program held in the Carver Hall auditorium of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College on April 6. Mr. Horner, who is on furlough from a Presbyterian mission in Cameroon, South Africa , spoke on the subj ect, "The Challenge of Foreign Missions." Mr . Horner , in a most interesting fashion , told the college audience that people have too long confused and ignored the command of Christ to his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all nations. He then classed Christians according to their outlook on the problem of world mission. Some he called amateur anthropologists. These are the people who qu estion the ability of foreign peoples to comprehend the Christian message. Others he termed spiritual myoptics, who are nearsighted and argue that "ch arity should begin at home.' Mr. Horner admitted that their claim is probably true, but asked whether it has to stop there. Many Christians can be termed "businessmen " because they are vitally concerned about investments in the mission field. Rather than question the wisdom of the investments, these peopl e, Mr. Horner said, should learn more about foreign lands and their tremendous economic possibilities. He called some church workers "Mr. Worldly Wise." These are the people who question the practice of taking the Christian religion to a people who already have one. The speaker stated emphatically that peopl e in most of the mission fields have no organized religion to begin with and should be given an opportunity of hearing the Christian message. In conclusion Mr. Horner pointed out the great need in the world of an T. E. BOWMAN SOLOS AT BAND FESTIVAL Thomas E. Bowman, a member of the j unior class, was . soloist for the concert rendered at the intercollegiate State Band Festival sponsored by the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association at the Lock Haven State Teachers College Saturday evening, April 3, 1948. The Bloomsburg musician was accorded this honor in competition with more than 130 members of the All-Master Band at Susquehanna University for seven years ; the All-State Band in 1941- * 1942 and 1943; District Band in 1941, 1942, and 1943. He competed in the State Forensic Contests for baritone horn soloists in 1942 and 1943, and was a member of the United States Army Air Corps Band from 1943 through 1945. HOCH SPEAKS AT "Y " CONFERENCE John A. Hoch, dean of m en , spoke at the annual spring conference of the Tri-Hi-Y of the North Central District which was held at Montoursville, April tenth and eleventh. Mr. Hoch presented an address based on the theme .The New Look in Boy Girl Relationships," at the Saturday afternoon meeting held in the First Methodist Church. The Montoursville Tri-Hi-Y Clubs and the Churches of the community are the hosts to the annual affairs which were staged under the auspices of the State Young Men 's Chri stian Association. You can 't be a howling success by simply howling. intelligent and informed outlook toward- the foreign missions and pointed out that in this field there are opportunties for Christian service that should not go unnoticed by college men and women. He was introduced by E. A. Reams, chairman of the faculty assembly committee while President Harvey A. Andruss presided over brief devotional exercises.

The Campus Spotlite by KA.Y OHAPIN by Glenn Von Stetten Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven It was October, 1929. Rudy Vallee was singing "The Stein Song." A new young singer named Bing Crosby was touring the Vaudeville. That was the week the stock market crashed and the Roosevelt Hotel introduced a Chicago band to its patrons. The band played "Stardust" and "My Blue Heaven." They still do. In a business noted for fickleness, many bands rise and fall in a few years but Guy Lombardo has made himself America's Number One longtime dance bandleader by merchandising a product as dependable as a metronome. Guy himself, as quiet, suave, and unhurried as his music, has trouble explaining this phenomenal permanency. Permanency, despite swing, hot j azz or rebop crazes. You either love the Lombardo gentle music or it infuriates you. At the moment, you probably love it. And if you do, that no longer means you're tagged with age and fallen arches. You now become Lombardo addicts when you first hold hands. Mostly, the Royal Canadians sell romance. Guy 's band has played the top dance spots and theatres across the country. It has also been in several movies. These engagements more than a little augmented by the millions of Lombardo records that Decca •supplies the nation , have made the Royal 'Canadians one of the top money-making bands of all time. Latest Disc Dope "We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye," by Frank Sinatra is really OK, Frank sounds like Frank Sinatra again. Its th e old relax ed Fr anki e, selling an- other good song—"You Were Meant For Me," everyone and his brother have recorded this oldie, but the loveliest arrangement thus far is by Claude Thornhill — Martha Davis plays her own piano and sounds a bit like Nellie Lutcher on her newest waxing, "Cincinnati" — R ay McKinley has also come out with a good j ump version of "Cincinnati" too, but his pairing, "Airizay ," is even better. It has terrific sax work throughout, but that typical "Ray Mac' beat is what makes the record a coming hit. New Albums For all Como fans, RCA Victor has just released "A Sentimental B&ig With, Perry." Eight sides of sweet music brings out Mr. Como at his best. These sentimentalisms include "Body and Soul," "Carolina Moon" and "Love Me or Leave Me." "Boogie Woogie," waxed by Decca is a fine new collection of boogie featuring any number of hot rhythmists. Bob Crosby and his band with Bob Zurke at the piano knock out "Yancey Special" *and "Honky Tonk Train Blues"; Woody Herman's Four Chips set out with "Indian "Boogie Woogie"; others are by Jay McShann and Freddie Slack. Did You Know A drummer in most swing bands will break in the neighborhood of 200 pairs of drumsticks every year—That Tex Beneke carries Glenn Miller's old trombone on all the ork's tours. Tex places the immortal bandleader 's instrument in its usual place at every performance as a tribute to one of the greatest orchestra leaders of the modern swing era. How To Write a Letter to Your Sweetheart , Or Advice f or the Mal e Who Won't Send Mail "When it comes to letter-writing, some guys got it and some guys ain't" — ,.t hat's what Judith Ellin, author and letter-getter, knows from ' sad experience. But in a recent issue of Varsity, the Young Man 's Magazine, Miss Ellin tries to remedy the situation with an article-full of foolproof suggestions for turning out an effective, sweet-but-not-corn y letter to your girl, "Forget about form" is the first commandment, ignore those monotonous openers like, "I take my pen in hand," or "Well, how are you, I am fine." Dive in — for instance, (says Judith in a flight of fancy ) "I hate horses, Once I saw a horse beating his old, tired driver .' " The point is, get going by writing down anything that comes to mind. .. Don't move through a catalogue of recent and future events. Don't worry about schoolish form and style; be conversational, chatty, and natural. In fact, to get your ideas, just imagine a conversation between t h e two of you. For example . . . , YOU: Hiya, Suzie! it SHE: Hello, you! Glad to See you again. You're a wonderful guy, you know — intelligent, attractive, sweet — an you 've such nice hair. But it needs cutting, baby. YOU: I know. Getting one tomorrow—a crew cut . . . which reminds me. Why should a crew have short hair? What if a guy 's hair's in his face—he can't see where he 's going anyway. You 've (go t on idea! Write it down, and take it from there: you might admit that you don 't want hair-ineyes, because you want a good view of her . . . but you wouldn 't mind some of hor hair in your eyes — right now. What else can you write about if the daily diary is currently dull ? Well, try reminiscing —r about your youth, for instance. Recall old ex- tion on choosing a career. This is j ust a suggestion—if you should see any ^ of these visitors standing around ^ looking as if they may have strayed from the flock—a friendly word or two might make a big difference in their day.

Massey were twins; and as such , recently gave the V.A. of Louisiana a real workout when they both applied for a disability pension at the same time. Here's why : Naturally being twins they were both born the same day of the same year, entered the Army the same day, April 20, 1944, and were given serial numbers only one point apart (L aughn 's was 38654606 and Vaughn 's was 38654608) . To further the complicating of the records, both men served in the same outfit and embarked for Europe on the same boat. While in Europe, they both served in the same Combat Engineer Unit and both received promotions to Pfc and later to Corporal on the same day. Each drove a 2 '/a ton truck and they selpt over one another in double-deck bunks. Both were wounded, and treated by the same hospital and later discharged on the same day. (Are you still with ' us?
