Robert Maza Chosen To
Head Susquehanna District
On Saturday, December 5, fif t y
Lutheran students, representing five
nearby educational institutions, attended the Suscfuehanna Area Conference of the Lutheran Student Association , which was held at the St.
Matthew Lutheran Church here in
Bloomsburg. The retiring president,
Bill Fearen , of Bucknell , presided at
the morning, afternoon, and evening
sessions. During the course of business, an election was held and the
following officers were elected for the
coming year: Robert Maza , B.S.T.C ,
president; Don Love, Penn State, vice
president ; Miss Jeanne Heminghouse,
Bucknell , secretary-treasurer.
The dinner speaker, Miss Gertrude
Merkle, of Markhurg, Germany, who,
| at present , is an exchange student at
Bucknell, gave an interesting talk on
the Christian work which is being
carried on in Germany today among
the college students. Being the daughter of a Nazi soldier, who is still a
prisoner of war in the Russian zone
of occupation , Miss Markle was able
to highlight her discussion with personal experiences. According to her
firsthand report , most of the Christian work which is being done in her
native country is being built up gradually by the efforts of the World
Student Christian Association. This
particularly worthy organization was
almost non-existent in the days prior
to the war. Part of the work of the
student organization is connected
with finding quarters for the preparation of meals for students. This also
entails the securing of food , which ,
needless to say, is a difficult task in
these days.
Dr. Robert Fischer, pastor of the
Zion Lutheran Church , of Sunbury,
addressed the assemblage in the
afternoon , and also held an hour-long
open discussion , choosing as his
theme , "If We Obey Him."
The institutions represented at the
conference were: Pennsylvania State
College, Bloomsburg State Teachers
C o l l e g e , Susquehanna University,
Bucknell University, and Lycoming
College.

Third Evening Concert
To Be Given January 7

i

An outstanding evening's entertainment is in store for the college
community, January 7, when Margaret Daum , soprano, and Steven
Kennedy, baritone, will present a
joi nt recital in Carver Hall Auditorium.
Miss Daum is the star of the
"Album of Familiar Music ," which
is heard over the NBC Network
every Sunday at 9:30 P.M. Mr.
Kennedy is one of America's foremost baritones.
This program is the third in the
1948 - 49 College Artists Series
Course, which earlier featured
Henry L. Scott , noted pianist and
pioneer in concert humor, and the
nationally acclaimed Eva Jossye
Choir, which had part in the original stage production of "Porgy
and Bess."
An announcement will be published later , giving the titles of
the selections chosen for this recital.

Futur e Teachers Hold
Induction Ceremony
The Oscar Hugh Bakeless Chapter
of the Future Teachers held a formal
ceremony for the first time since 1946
in Navy Hall Auditorium on November 22.
The officers of tho organization ,
Margaret Suchy, chairman of tho nffalr, and Mr, Richard Hallisy stood
aroun d an altar on which was placed
a bouquet of yellow and white flow -

Music and costumes of Scotland
provided the nucleus around which
was built an entertaining assembly
program on Tuesday, November 7.
The "Scottish Highlanders" presented
a variety of vocal and instrumental
selections which were well received
by the audience.
Opening the program was a novel
offering by Mr. Robertson , who played several numbers on the bagpipe.
A Scotch air was followed by "Yankee
Doodle."
Vocal duets by the master of ceremonies and the lyric tenor included
"Blue Bells of Scotland" and "Clancy
Lowered the Boom." Adding two other members to form a quartet , the
group presented "Roaming in the
Gloaming."
Mr. Bruce, the pianist-accompanist
of the group, added to the program
with "Turkish March ," by Mozart ,
and an improvisation of "Smoke Gets
in Your Eyes."
As tenor solos, Mr. Henderson sang
"I Go Home wi' Bonnie Jean" ( from
"Brigadoon ") a n d "Too*Ra-Loo«RaLoo-Ral."
The comedian of the group proved
to be Mr. McCrae. Introduced as the
instrumentalist of the ensemble, the
eldest member appeared before the
audience with a soprano saxophone
and announced that first he would
sing "Coming through the Rye." Following this selection with a joke, the
Scot announced that his first instrumental number would be "Carnival of
Venice." This developed into nothing
more than a long and ponderous
piano "introduction ," after which Mr.
McCrae added several other humorous comments. His closing selection
was "We Are Feeding Baby Onions
So We Can Find Him in the Dark."
This was also a farce , which was only
a different piano variation of "Carnival of Venice." The skit was closed
with the same song with which it
opened.
Returning for a second appearance ,
Mr. Robertson played "Blue Bonnets "
and another Scottish air.
The "emcee" was next as the solo
attraction. He sang the Robert Burns
poem , "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton ,"
and "Gallway Bay."
The closing selections were by the
quartet as they sang "It's Nice to Get
Up in the Morning—But It's Nicer to
Stay in Bed" and "Annie Laurie."
Responding readily to the request
of the performers, the audience j oined
with the group in singing "Auld Lang
Syne" as the finale of the program.

Day Women To Hold Party
The Day Women's Association will
hold a Christmas Party In the social
rooms of Science Hall on December
16 at noon. Each girl will bring a
covered dish and the association will
furnish the decorations and dessert
which will consist of ice cream , cake,

Guest Speaker Stresses the
Importance of Science in
The Elementary School
With 220 teachers and administrators from Central Pennsylvania attending, the annual Elementary Conference held Saturday, December 4,
at the College was the most successful to be staged since the inauguration of the affair.
The Conference, usually attended
largely by teachers long in service,
was noteworthy because of the large
participation by comparatively young
teachers.
Features of the session, which was
devoted largely to science in relation
to elementary school students, were
addresses by Dr. Gerald S. Craig,
professor of Natural Science at Columbia University, and another by
President Harvey A. Andruss.
Demonstration classes were conducted in the Benjamin Franklin
Training School in the morning, followed by roundtable discussions. Dr.
Craig's -first address was given in
Carver Hall Auditorium at 11:00 a.m.
Dr. Craig opened with a commendation to Daniel S. Hartline, late head
of the science department at B.S.T.C ,
under whom, as a student, Craig received a lasting inspiration.
Dr. Craig stated that , because of
the rapid change and growth in the
field of science, "We, as teachers, have
a right to learn with children." This 4
was due, he said, to the change of
concepts brought about by new discoveries. Since children are always
experimenting, and form concepts of
science early, Dr. Craig pointed out
that it is the duty of the teacher to
see that these concepts are correct.
A higher standard of living, health ,
and "peace or war", according to Dr.
Craig, can be the outcome of the inscience.
importance
of
creased
Science, he stated , will finally stop
wars.
In a luncheon address at noon ,
Craig's topic was "Bloomsburg—Then
and Now." He reminisced about his
student days at B.S.T.C, and interspersed his talk with amusing anecdotes. In conclusion , he suggested
that Science Hall be rededicated as
a memorial to Professor Hartline.
In his address, President Andruss
showed, statistically, the decline of
student interest in the elementary
field. In the ten years following 1931,
President Andruss stated , 1025 students were graduated , and ouly 184
of that- number were elementary
teachers. In the next five years, out
of about five hundred degrees awarded , again only 184 were in the elementary field. Low pay of women and
elementary teachers was believed responsible for the lack of interest in
the field , but the inequality of salaries
is slowly being remedied. President
Andruss stated that the $2400 per
year period is approaching.

S. C. A. Dr ive . . .
You don ' t have to look as far as Europe to locate needy children .
Adjust your vision for closer range; you 'll find them in every community. With the help of the Red Cross, the S.C.A. is assembling
ideas to better the situation here in Bloomsburg. Definite pl ans are
inc omp l ete , but every person on the campus will soon be contacted
for either a gift or a donation. Donations will be used collectivel y to
buy more expensive presents.
Last year , the student body gave the program much support and
t he entire collection was displayed in the Waller Hall lobby.
If you cou ld see the shining eyes of these children on Christmas
morning as they receive a gift , it wou ld b e wort h more to you t h an
all the Christmas tree lig hts in Bloomsburg. So turn on the electricity
for two twinklers and a gleaming smile , an d have a merrier Christmas!

Salary Dilemma . . B ,
At the recent Elementary Education Conference , Presi dent Andruss told of the lack of student interest in the field of elementary
education. He stated that low pay and the inequality of salaries are
believed to be responsible for the relatively low num b er of el ementary
teachers who have been graduated from Bloomsburg and other teachereducation institutions.
Delving more deeply into the situation shows that this is no small
wonder. Today, the average teacher gets $250 a year less than the
average for all employed persons. Low pay of teachers therefore , is
probabl y t h e mo st g laring reason for lack of interest in the teaching
profession. The 1948-49 national average for all teachers in public
elementary and secondary schools was $2 , 750 a year ago.
However , to d ay 's pay is equal to only $1,458 in pre-war dollars.
The increase in the cost of living must be taken into consideration.
Another factor in this devaluation of teacher 's pay is that teachers
must now pay federal income taxes , from which they were exempt
prior to 1939.
The time has come for society to alleviate this deplorable .situation
in our so-called modern civilization . Higher pay, in comparison with
the salaries paid to other professional workers , would arouse more
interest among other desirable students. The strength of our culture
lies in education , as the quality of our educational system depends
upon the merits of its teachers, (bj )

Some Thou ghts for Christmas . . . .
Alread y we are experiencing the excitement of the Yuletide.
Holl y wreaths , chiming bells and gay Santas , bedecked in red, have
made their appearance, Mention of Christmas brings forth ideas of
mistletoe, pleasant-smelling trees, glittering decorations and endless
rows of presents hidden under folds of red and green paper. All our
actions echo these materialistic ideas of Christmas. Many people believe that they cannot enjoy a happy day on December 25, unless
they have their material wants satisfied.
We cannot take without giving, but those things which we take
and give need not be material things. A famous poet once wrote about
a "hearty Christmas. " He thoug ht of the h'e art as the inmost soul and
the seat of love , kindness and affection, At all times, especiall y at
Christmas , everyone should let the contents of his soul escape. It is
the soul that makes us feel warm inside when the cold snow is falling;
it is the soul that spreads friendshi p during the Yuletide , that puts
meaning into the voices of Christmas carolers , that makes us courageous and fearless, and brings about a spiritual happiness. Without the
soul, there could be no true Christmas spirit.
This Christmas, a great many people of the world will have only
spiritual happiness. Here in America , we will have material happiness.
If we choose to open our souls , we may also have spiritual happiness,
the happiness of which the angels sang on that first Christinas day
"Peace on earth. Good will to men. " (mm )

What! No Sachet? . . . .
Local lads last week got their wardrobes in the pink of condition and
added an extra something to what th'e well-dressed man will wear in 1949.
It all began when their lingerie came back from the laundry, tinted a delicate
pink which struck a happy medium somewhere between 'bride 's blush' and
'sorority salmon. ' The result has been a great equality, with pink things
now gracing washlines and radiators on both sides of the great divide. The
first bitter note of protest , significantly written on pink paper, came f r o m
a delegation on the third floor of Waller Hall. The boys wanted to know,
to wit: "Why their perfectly white underpinnings came back to them
perfectly pink?" Af ter giving the matter consideration , the only answer
seems to be that somebody 's red flannels faded. Either that or else communictin

The Number One Number . . . .
According to information submitted by an alert K-9 secret agent , the
busiest number at the Bloomsburg telephone exchange is 9142, the f our
figures all you lads have down in the book for the second Root of the girls'
dormitory . So it seems that these lassies are, for the present at least, number
one on the Bell Telephone Hit Parade. Barks of congratulation to the second
floor! It would be interesting to learn where 9143 and 9135, the numbers of
the third and fourth floors, stand on the list. The Doghouse Committee on
Public Service shall look into the matter in the near future. Meanwhile,
perhaps some of you subscribers are in possession of information which would
shed additional light on the investigation.

Sidelight on Education . . .
Last Sunday 's Philadelphia Inquirer carried an article on education ,
which should provide fodder for educators to ruminate' on for some time to
come. The discussion centered on what has the earmarks of a prize euphemism — "kinestheti c motivation applied posteriorly." All of which means nothing more than the application of a birch rod to a tender and strategic portion
of the scholar's anatomy. How many of you can recall of having boon sunv
marily relegated to a cloakroom, where a stern and unrelenting schoolmaster
urged you along the flowery path of knowledge with a yardstick or a pointer? Now, in looking back, it seems that one did find added incentive toward
arithmetical competence when the multipli cation tables were taugh t to the
tune of a hickory stick. This practice, however, no longer enj oys the universal popularity it once had in most elementary schools. Whether or not education has suffered from the change is hard to say.

Strictly Personal . . .
Does your roommate snore ? Seemingly an indelicate question , but
chances are , one in seven, that he or she does. According to the very latest
stat istics, fourteen percent of America does its snoozing in a noisy way. On
that basis, it would not be far-fetched to suppose that many a sedate flower
of young womanhood can make the rafters ring as they never rang before.
But such is neither here nor there. In relation to this matter , the writer is
the victim of an unusual conspiracy of circumstances. He has two roommates, each of which contributes regularly, and with unsubdued enthusiasm ,
to a nocturnal symphony of sound and fury . One snores with a resonance
which could easily give a bass violin cause to turn green with e.ivy; the
other engages himself in soliloquy that goes not in want of color for the lack
of idiom and epithet. The question is, Miss Fairfax , should he get married or
quit school ?
