I Presiding over the assembly, President Harvey A . Andr uss read the morning 's scripture , followed by a reading of the Governor 's Proclamation. I Father William J. Burke, Rector of the Church of St. Columba, spoke briefly to the gathering. His topic was "Destiny of a Man Who Believes in Sacrifice.1,." Father Burke reminded the students that the leaders of tomorrow must make sacrifices for democracy, as did those heroes of days gone by, for America was founded on sacrifices. He urged everyone to "go out and live the principles of democracy ," remembering that individuality o£ person is one of the rights of democracy. As f uture teachers, the students were cautioned to be especially mindful of dignity. The speaker also mentioned the widely-scattered graves of war victims as being shrines for freedom-loving people. He paid tribute to the war mothers, who also suffered sacrifices. In closing, the Rector emphasized the importance of God in a free nation. His parting thought was in the form of a verse, "When we live, we live in clover; When we di e, we live all over." Taps were sounded by Mr. Luther Jones, after which Miss Harriet M. Moore led the college chorus in the singing of "America, the Beautiful. " Pictured above are the peppy College cheerleaders.

College Represented At Deans ' Conference The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of Deans of Women was held at the Penn Harris Hotel in Harrisburg, November 5 and 6, with Deans Kehr and Waldron representing B. S. T. C. The theme of this 1948-49 convention was concerning the report of the President's Commission on Higher Education. Opening the program on Friday was an address by Dr. Francis J. Brown, staff associate, of the American Council on Education. Later the representatives separated into various discussion groups on such matters as equal education for all , expansion of adult education , changes in curriculum , and the use of intelligence tests. Highlighting the two - day conference was an address made at the banquet in the ballroom of the hotel by Judge Dorothy Kenyon , U.S. Delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, w.ho spoke on "The United Nations—The Hope of the World." After a general session on Saturday morning, at which time reports were read by Chairmen of the Discussion Groups, Dr. Horace Mann Bond , President of Lincoln University, concluded the Association's program. Mrs. Charles R. Beeman , of the College art department, made the final choice from the eight rooms chosen by the judges. First place went to the room occupied by Genevieve Krzywickl , Eleanor Poust, and Nancy Wesneyak; second to the room of Shirley Ashner and Lillian Mlkvy ; and third place to the room of Marian Lake ' and Eloise Symons. Other rooms receiving awards were those of Berdine Logar and Mary (Continued on page 4) Music and laughs provided by the members of the cast of the "St ardust Follies " were the sti m uli t h a t kept Carver Hall auditorium resounding with applause to the very end of the assembly program of Thursday morning, November 4. Don Maietta, who led the morning devotions , introdu ced Johnny Lydon as master of ceremonies for the program, which was directed by Charles Edwards. Familiar to all, Johnny disappointed no one as he kept the show moving at a rapid pace by interspersing bits of selected humor at intervals throughout the performance. Leading the array of music talent was Isabel Bolinsky, who sang "J u st for Now " and "I Don 't Know Why. " Introd uced next were two people at two pianos. Ruth Von Bergen and Dick Wagner presented their interpretations of bi - keyboard arrangements of "Stormy Weather" and "Pav a nne , " responding to the appl ause with "Kitten on the Keys." Appearing in his production , Chas. Edwards sang "Bluebird of Happiness" and "Maybe You'll Be There." "Chuck" used "One Alone " as his encore. John Czerniakowski and John Lydon displayed their musical versatili ty as "Al Jolson " Czerniakowski sang "Sonny Boy "—"aided and abetted by Sonny Boy," in the person of Johnny Lydon. "Sonny, " in his bonnet and diaper and smoking a big cigar, sat nervously on his "Daddy 's" knee and interrupted him repeatedly, adding much in the way of humor to an otherwise blues song. "Three boys and an accordion " were featured in the last act of the "Follies." Max Kaplan, Norman Kline, and Andy Maceiko began their part of the program with Andy accompanying Max and Norman as they sang a medley of old-time tunes. A dance routine added to the effectiveness of the medley, which included "When You Wore a Tulip," "I Want a Girl ," "Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie," "Moonlight Bay, " and "That Old Gan g of Mine." Maceiko was next as he "squeezed out" three numbers in an expert manner. These were a selection from the "Trieste Overture," "Clarinet Polka," and "Sharpshooters' March." Returning amid the applause of the audience, Kaplan and Kline sang a Max Kaplan original , entitled "Terry." As their final offering the boys presented an arrangement of "I'm a Big Boy Now " in which each of the members of the trio sang a novelty verse as a solo. Johnny Lydon closed the program by presenting the entire cast to the audience , who indicated their approval by applauding enthusiastically. Also deserving special mention are : Ruth Von Bergen , who served as accompanist for the vocalists ; John Brown , who capably handled the spotlight; and , Dick Sager, who, from the balcony, acted as a censor for the j okes of the emcee (of whom he is a close friend) by waving a red flag in anticipation of an oncoming bit of somewhat slightly tainted humor. Local P.S.E.A. Group Meets at College A meeting of members from Columbia and Montour Counties of the Pennsylvania State Education Association was held ' recently in the College Alumni Room. Miss Iva Mae Van Scoyac, president of the P.S.E.A. unit of the College, and members of the faculty acted as hosts at the meeting. - Negro Choral Group Offers Wide Variety of Selections For about two hours on the evening of November 9, the Carver Hall Auditorium was transplanted in the heart of the "Deep South." Responsible for the imaginary transportation was a group of well-trained Negro singers, the Eva Jessye Choir, who pleased the audience from beginning to end with a variety of selections. The chorus was well - received and responded with several encores during the program. Soloists appeared, singing leading roles in various numbers, thereby proving the ability of the individuals as well as of the group. The opening part of the program consisted of spirituals by the group. The audience heard "Hail, Hail, Hail !," "Plenty Good Room," "Carri the K ey An ' Gone Home," "Lord , Hear Me Pray.' A soprano was featu red in "I Stan ' and For My Arms," and a baritone was next as he j oyou sly commen te d , "I Belong To That Band." Dedicated to Fisk University, the choir lamented that they "Couldn't Heai* Nobody Pray." From Gershwin 's "Porgy and Bess" was "Jes u s Is Walkin ' on the Water. " "Tall Angel" completed the spirituals of the first portion of the performance. Contralto and male choir received the approval of the audience with "My Jesus' Campground ," as did the entire chorus for their premier performance of "Chronicle of Job." An original work by Eva Jessye, with piano score by Reginald Beane, and narrated by a baritone, closed the first half of the program. Following a short intermission, the choir returned with another Gershwin tune, "I Can't Sit Down." Adding a guitar to the piano accompaniment , the male choir told the audience that "This Is a Mean World." A warning to Sunday anglers was the tale of "Simon the Fisherman," as related by ( Continued on page 4) Pi Omega Pi To Send Represent atives to National Conventio n At a recent election held by Alpha Chapter of Pi Omega Pi, a national business education fraternity, Ernest Olsen and Jack Purcell were chosen to represent the local chapter at the national convention of that organization.

Lycoming Trampled 47-0 by Huskies In Final Home Contest of Season " by Curt Miller Last week we forwarded the proposition that the Teacher 's Conference adopt a point system in order to crown a champion that has defeat ed the best teams in the circuit , as well as the most. Now, after doing a little figuring with one of the systems in vogue , we discover the sad fact that Bloomsburg and California are still tied for th e top position with an ac1cumulative average of .607. So, the I point system isn't infallibl e, either— ¦ not that we ever thought , it was. I California , we find , has played the I same number of contests as the HuskB ics; its opponents have been victorI ious seven times, as have the Husky I foes , and, carrying on from there, the bare record shows that there is no | yardstick by which we can measure I I the comparative strength of the two teams. Bloomsburg has yielded fewer points , 19 as compared to 47 for California , but trails in the offensive department with but 72 points to 107 for the California institution. I However, should the Huskies def eat I East Stroudsburg today, as we expect , ! they will take over first place in the point system with a mark of .810 which would exceed anything Calii fornia can obtain even if it wins its league game. This* would, of course, bring to the front the principle behind the point system—the best team wins. East Stroudsburg ranks third in the conference with a .506 average that places them head and shoulders above every other school, except West Chester which doesn't play enough games to figure. California's opponent today won 't have a record as good as that of Stroudsburg and the Huskies will autom atically win first place in this point system of ours. Should East Stroudsburg: win over the Huskies, Bloomsburg will fall to third place and California will relinquish first place to Stroudsburg. It is quite improbable that the point system will ever be adopted by the conference (to our knowledge, there isn't a college conference in the land that uses anything but the winloss percentage as a basis for determining champions) but it is interesting to compile and speculate on what would happen if it were in use. Proof of the value of the system is found in the wide difference in the average of third place East Stroudsburg, .506, and that of Mansfield which is only .201 though both schools have the same won-Ioss totals. East Stroudsburg has j ust defeated the better teams—that's the explanation. As a matter of interest , West Chester has an accumulative total of .405 in three victories , gaining most of their points from East Stroudsburg which bowed to them by u 14-7 margin. With today 's game concluding the season for the Huskies , we look forward with considerable interest to the selection by them of an all opponent team, Last year 's voting did not take place until well into the basketball season , but we hope that. Coach Redman will oblige us this year with nn enrly announcement on Ihe matter. Most of our interest, naturally, will ho focused on East Stroudsbtirg today, hut It must he remembered that this school is sending to Mt.

Your Prescri p tion Dru ggists Since 1868 Appreciation Day Attendance Is Small As expected , the Huskies trampl ed Lycoming College by a score of 47-0 before a disappointingly small crowd at Athleti c Park last week. This victory extended the Huskies winning streak to ei ght straight for the season and assured th em of a place in B.S.T.C. archives as the team turning in the best record ever made by a Maroon and Gold athletic team. At no time in the gam e did Lycoming have a chance to win7 and never was the Husky goal threatened. A bright future for Bloomsburg football was shown by the fine performance of the reserves who played all but a few minutes at the beginning of each half . Lang' Scores First "Wit chaboo" Lang scored early in the contest after Tom Donan recovered a blocked Lycoming kick on the Warrior nine yard line. Johns ' attempted conversion was blocked, but later events proved this to be of littl e consequence . The second Husky tally came on a drive th at carried the ball from their own io pay territory in only five plays. Dan Parrel broke off tackle and scurried seven yards for his first touchdown of the afternoon . At this point , Redman inserted his reserves who demonstrated what a splendidly finished team the Coach has toiling for him. * Lycoming Efforts Futile Lycoming did not do would What fill a volume. Their much publicized passing attack was good for a total of eighty-three yards on eight completions, but six interceptions by the Huskies resulted in severe losses. One interception by Joe Hardy resulted in another tou chdown for the Maroon and Gold. Three plays after the interception , Lang took the ball fr om center, fad ed deep, and finally heaved the ball to Ed Tavalsky who then produced one of the most spectacular plays of the day. Tackled and almost thrown to the ground on the ten, Tavalsky lateraled to Don Peterson who went the remaining distance to the goal. Johns converted this time and the count stood at 20-0. Shortly before the end of the first h a lf , Glenn Von Stetten broke off tackle and scored from the twentyfour yard line after he had cut to the r ight , reversed his field , and completely outmaneuvered the opposition. Repeat Performance The second half was practically a repetition of the first. Donan recovered a Lycoming fumble on their eighteen and six plays later Dan Parrell scored. With that , the varsity retired for the remainder of the game. Soccer Team Takes On Powerful Stroudsburg After losing to Howard University last Saturday by a 2-0 count , the Bloomsburg booters yesterday encountered one of the best, if not t he best , teams on the eastern seaboard— East Stroudsburg. This powerf ul aggregation has lost but one game this season, and this was to Lock Haven. It holds a 1-1 tie with West Chester and has defeated Rider College by a 2-1 score. (Lo ck Haven, which marred a perfect season for Stroud, h olds two victori es over the Huskies.) Jack Schalls and Jack Demick provide the scoring punch for the Warriors. Demick is rated as one of the best soccer players to don the Red and Black. Last year the Huskies earned a great distin ction by tripping the highly-rated team by a 4-3 score. Although the Huskies record is not too impressive this year, this game pro mised to be the best of the season because of the great rivalry between the two schools. Husky Booters Drop Another to Howard U. Th e Husky soccer team continues to roll along in disastrous fashion , a 2-0 loss to Howard University being the latest tragedy to the Wishermen who have now dropped six games ana won but one. However, the Huskies were f ar from disgra ced as they bowed to the Washington school which boasts of having one of the outstanding teams in the nation. The Howard centerforward , Blake , is a native of Trinidad where soccer is played on a nation al scale. This lad scored both goals against the Huskies and is reputed to have tallied sixty times last season. He is performing this season for the firs t time with Howard. Another tough foe was met by Bloomsburg yesterday in the East Stroudsburg booters who had notched five victories before visiting Mt. Olympus. A pass from Stonick to Jones was good for a touchdown that was nullified because of a clipping penalty. However, Jones, determined to obtain six points, took another pass, this one from Lang, and scored. Only one touchdown was produced by Bloomsburg in the final quarter, but it too was set up by a pass interception , this one by Charlie Sweeney. Von Stetten carried the ball over to end the slaughter. Championship at Stake As Huskies Battle with Vindictive Warriors Bloomsburg Tops State Grid List When the Bloomsburg Huskies crushed Lycoming by a 47-0 score for their eighth straight win, th ey remained at the top of the list of Pennsylvania colleges as the only unbeaten , untied team. Not only do the Huskies lead the won-lost column, but their defensive record is also the best in the state. In the Teachers College standings , the Huskies are tied with California. Bo t h of th ese t ea m s shou ld win t h eir respective games on Saturday, thus creating the first tie in recent years for the mythical State Teachers College football title.

Knox Fellowship Hallowe'en Party The Knox Fellowship, whi ch is composed of Presbyterian students, held a Hallowe 'en party recently at the Moyer farm , near Orangeville. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Moyer and members of the refreshment committee served a buffet supper. Singing, charades , and stunts featured the social program. There was a large number of members present. Among those attending were Dr. and Mrs. J. Almus Russell, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lanterman, Rev. G. Douglas Davies, and Mr. S. I. Shortess. ACTION SHOT OF THE KUTZTOWN GAME .... Win Will Assure B.S.T.C. of Title When the unbeaten , untied Huskies meet the East Stroudsburg Warriors on the latter's field today, they will come up against some of the toughest competition in State Teachers College football. Although the Warriors have been beaten in very close contests by West Chester and Rider, they have given a very good account of themselves throughout the season by rolling over Panzer, Millersville, and Shippensburg, and tying Cortland. Coach Eugene Martin 's aggregation is without question paced by Jackie Swartz, triple-threat quarterback and one of the best all-around players in the State Teachers College Conference. The most notable force on the Warrior 's team is their forward wall, averaging over 200 pounds. Another player that the Huskies have to be especially careful about is John Whiteshead, who is rated one of the best placement kickers in college circles. Whiteshead missed only two extra points all year, one of which was in the 6-7 loss to Rider College. Mention should also be given to the potential all-state guard John Petercuskie and to Big Walt Zarnowski a powerful line player and fine defensive man. The Warriors have dropped two games in succession to Bloomsburg by virtue of one point. In 1946, the underdog Huskies scored late in the game, and Mike Krepich converted to give B.S.T.C. a 7-6 victory. Last year, in a driving rain , the Huskies roared back after trailing by two touchdowns in the first half and behind the combined efforts of Danny Parrell and Steve Kriss won the game in the closing minutes by the score of 13-12. The tentative starting lineup of Coach Redman 's charge is: Paternoster and Kreiser at ends ; Morgans and Donan at tackles; Luchnick and Mussoline at guards ; Maturani at center; the backfield will probably consist of Albano chirping signals at quarterback; Apichello or Lang at left halfback ; Steve Kriss at right halfback; and Parrell or Reedy at fullback. As the Huskies take the field against the Warriors today, they will be gunning for their ninth straight and most important victory. If they defeat Stroudsburg today they will have completed the most successful football season in the history of B.S.T.C. A victory today would make the Huskies the top team in the state and one of the top teams in the nation. You can bet your bottom dollar that they will be fighting from the opening kick off until the final whistle blows. A large following from Bloomsburg is expected to make the trip to East Stroudsburg to see the Huskies in their final battle for the mythical State Teacher's College Conference championship.

Small wonder people complain of feeling tired. by Aleki Oomuntzis * * * * * FASHION FLASHES Snap, Snap . . . Among the Amish of southern Pennsylvania, custom forbids young lads and lasses to address each other publicly without first having had the benefit of a sanctioned introduction. This makes flirting impossible — almost. But you can find a loophole in any law if you try hard enough , and the young men soon discovered that a snap of the fingers could be as eloquen t as any spoken solicitation^ ^The young ladies were, in turn , cooperative and quickly mastered the art of snapping back in the affirmative. Thus 'snapping' became firmly established in the Amish tradition. This, incidentally, is also the story behind the story on how the Millersville S.T.C. newspaper, "The Snapper ," got its name. It was borrowed from the Amish equivalent of gay blade. * * * * * Our National 'Weakness' Everytime we turn around , it is a national week for appreciating or preventing something or the other.

EVA JESSYE CHOIR ( Continued from page 1) two narrators and the Choir, A novelty duet by soprano and baritone was "E-I-O." "Water Boy" featured a baritone soloist with background provided by the choir, The symbolism of "The Train" was expressed in five parts — Frustration , Wanderlust, Escape, Religion , and Death. Offering a bit of advice, the group sang "Never Let a Dollar Roll By, " taken from the South Carolina Low Country. "Excerpt from 'They Lynched Him to a Tree'," presented a sad story in contrast to "Under the Bamboo Tree," which followed, featuring a contralto soloist. "Memphis Blues" added to the program that type of mood described In Its title. The closing selection was the "Ballad of John Brown," a composition again led by a narrator. As their encore, the group offered the "Legend of John Henry, " evidently the plantation equal of the northwest woodsman's Paul Bunyan. Every season we get the urge to buy a basic dress, a frock which , wi t h th e flick of the wrist , becomes a gay and new ou t fit to s u it o u r needs a nd mood. When we think of a basic dress , black most naturall y comes to our minds ; but this year , cross black off your list and add navy blue , green , muave, brown , and grey. This year designers are pushing the basic dress. WhV ? The most apparent reason is probably to make women demand their clothes. But right now , let' s find out what requirements a basic dress must have. Does it have a versatile neckline that will adapt itself to jewelry changes ? Will you be able to dross it up or down with your favorite j ewelry or scarf ? And speaking of scarfs , how about a fur neckpiece , or is that over /our budget? Is the dress comfortable ? What more could you want than a dress that can be worn all day ? Or one that cun be worn with or without a coat? How about lines ? ts it designed to flatter your figure ? A. basic dress is one of which you should ncvev tire. II should bo a dress ivhich flatters you to the utmost , a 3ress to live in. Shop carefully for your basic dress. Be fussy. Buy what you know will wear well. Careful planning means i more versatile wardrobe and a happier "you." SUPPOSIN ' by Bill Davis Did you ever stop to imagine what life might be like if everything that took place in conversation actually occurred as it was being talked about ? Egad , maj or battles would rage in dorm rooms nightly, Alexander would go riding through history classes on His elephants , thousands of women would clutter up stag parties, and Jet's not o ven meniion what would go on at ladies ' bridge cl u bsHorrors , perish Ihe tho ught! As a mild example : The other night I attended a little gel-together , and as u s u al , tin 1 women all gathered in the living room, while the men retired to the kitchen -- We did too! Well , anyway, there were four hunters in our group of fourteen , and l>y the third drink , they had gained complete control of the conversation. And there began one of the most gruelling evenings of my life — nat urally, we had to go with them ; there was nothing else to do. In four hours, we covered ninetyseven miles, tramping through rain , sleet , and snow , over practically impassable country , shooting everything in sight . By eleven-thirty, the kitchen was a feather and powder - smoke clouded packing house. Feeling rather strongly the need of u bracer , I crept stealthily, on all fours , beneath screaming shot and whining slugs, towards the table . Deafened by rifle and shot gun fire , gagging on feathers , and blinded by smoke , I groped my way over mounds of heaped game. Reaching my des* tination , I found what I was lookin g for under a three-foot pile of dead sq uirrels. I downed a stiff one and straightened up to survey the situation. The furni shings were no longer visible. The stove had been replaced by a pyramid of rabbits, the refrigerator was draped with five or six beautiful bucks, and the chairs that my friends had been sitting on when last seen had disappeared behind assorted piles of pheasants, grouse, and wild ducks. No longer able to stand the slaughter an d confu sion , I dashed madly, thro ugh ankle - deep blood , to the back door. With my remaining strength , I shoveled away a stack of ringnecks, and struggled out into the night air , followed by stampeding animals and flocks of escaping fowl. I dragged myself wearily across the porch and collapsed into the swing, only to be shoved to the floor by a dyi ng black bpar that had braton me to it. Pour me into the car , m other , and take me home. Waller Hall Room Judging (Continued from page 1) Giaiamas Banter ? ? "What shape is a kiss?" "I don 't know.
