Heard in j oint recital on the evening of January 7, 1949, in the Carver Hall Auditorium were Margaret
Daum, star of the Sunday evening
"American Album of Familiar Music,"
and Steven Kennedy, well-known baritone soloist. These two artists, with
Alfred Patten at the piano, presented
a program which, as well as being
interesting and entertaining to all,
served to display the talents and versatilities of each individual performer.
Mozart's "La ci darem la mano" from
"Don Giovanni" was the opening number. Sung in duet, the selection expressed the courtly grace of Don Giovanni in his proposal to Zerlina, her
feeling of flattery in response to his
offer, and her final acceptance.
Mr. Kennedy's opening group of
numbers were sung in the languages
of the Continent "Tu lo sai," by
Torelli, expressed the sentiment, "You
know well how much I love you." "La
Belle Jeunesse" told of a carefree and
capricious French soldier who was
engaged in conversation with his comrades. Written by Poulenc, the words
given by the singer were to the effect
that, "You may flirt with as many
pretty girls as you wish, for you need
not marry them all." "Die Mainacht ,"
by Brahms, was a beautiful melody
given in German , which meant ,
"Through the silver moonligh t I wandered, searching for my love," The
recitative and air , "Vision Fugitive,"
from Massenet's "Herodiade," was
familiar to some, and presented an
interesting and intriguing accompaniment as well as fine vocal interpretation by Mr. Kennedy.
Miss Daum began her group of selections with the well - loved "Ave

won much applause from the audience. Two compositions by Hahn
were next on the program. "Si mes
vers avaient des ailles" gave expression to the thoughts of a lover as she
sang, "Were my songs with wings
provided, I would fly to you with all
my love." "L'heure Exquise " expressed the quiet of a pool with its reflections during an "enchanted hour."
Debussy's "Air de Lia," from his
opera, "L'Enfant Prodique," is the
lament by the mother, Lia, for the
return of her son, whose departure
from home she cannot understand.
The cantata from which this solo was
taken won for Debussy the highest
prize given by the Paris Conservatory. The next selection was another
duet.
In a scene from Act II of Verdi's
"La Traviata ," Germont pleads with
Violetta to renounce her lover, who
is his son, Alfred. Hearing that she
has placed Alfred's special position in
j eopardy, Violetta reluctantly agrees
to see him no more.
Turning to a group of songs with
English texts, Mr. Kennedy began the
second half of the pi'ogram with
"None But the Lonely Heart," a
beautiful expression of sentiment by
Tschaikovsky. Warlock's "Yarmouth
Fair" told of a young man and a
maiden who met on the way to the
fair. "Salt Water," by Smith, and the
humorous "Finnigan 's Wake," by
Bone and Fenton, were the concluding numbers of this group. Mr. Kennedy responded to the spirited applause with two encores, Bacon's
"Sucking Cider through a Straw,"
and a song of a Southern plowman,
"The Donkey 's Tail."
Miss Daum was heard in "Spirit
Flower," by Tipton . In a lighter vein,
Broeck's "Little Brother 's Lullaby "
was the song of a youngster trying
to put a baby sister to sleep. A quiet
mood was the keynote of "Down in
the Foro3t," by Ronald. Altering her
final selection from that of the printed program, Miss Daum climaxed this
group of selections with the Negro
spiritual , "Sweet Little Jesus Boy."
As her encores, the artist chose the

Atlantic states district conference on
teacher education and professional
standards recommended the plea. Dr.
North was one of the three speakers
at the concluding session of the twoday conference.
It is essential, Dr. North said, that
teachers show enthusiasm for their
work and constantly strive to better
their ability if they are to gain many
of the benefits sorely needed by the
profession.
The groups which Dr. North represented opposed emergency teaching
certificates , but considered them necessary to aid in overcoming the
present teacher shortage. He suggested that such practices be kept at a
minimum by adequate salaries and
better working conditions.
Dean North also recommended refresher courses for persons re-entering the teaching field , and the need
for administrators to consider reassigning qualified persons from the
secondary to elementary fields without demotion as a means of alleviating the critical shortage in the grade
schools.

About N.S.A. . . .
If N.S.A. means nothing more to you than an organization you
hear of occasionally by way of a report f rom your stu dent government ,
t h en it is h i gh time that you learn that it is the most representative
college studen t organization in the U. S. today. In short , it acts as the
spokesman for all American college students. It is your organization ,
and its success or failure will depend a great deal on the support that
you and the local campus give to it. It is the one organization in the
nation that can give college students the representation in the educational world that they so rightly deserve.
N.S.A. not only gives voice to student opinions, b ut it a l so off ers
to each and eyery student , a practical opportunity to apply those things
which he has been learning in creating, planning, an d t h e carrying out
of activities which result from them. It is not another one of those "donothing " organizations which are so prevalent today. It was formed
by st ud ents to en h an ce stu d ent s' welf are , and to increase the opportunities for students to contribute to the welfare of the national and
international community.
Fun damental issues facing college students today are its biggest
fields of concentration , but by no means t h e on ly ones. To expand
somewhat .— the International Affairs Commission of the N.S.A . is
one of the most active exchange systems in the country. Last summer ,
several hundred American students were able to go abroad to study,
work, and travel — ' all through the efforts of the N.S.A. It took care
of everything from securing visas to sending out magazines and
pamp hlets on the various forei gn countries t h at were receptive to
American exchange students. Are you wondering why B. S. T. C.
wasn 't included in this? Well , it was, b ut b ecau se of in d i ff erence or
oversight on the part of prospective travelers , no one seemed interested
enou gh to investigate the possibilities of a trip abroad. If you are living
on a shoe-string and think you couldn 't affor d a trip abroad , f orget it
— so are the rest of us , and this is just the reason why the commission
has undertaken support of foreign travel and study in suc h en earnest
manner. So if you are interested, hang on; there are more trips and
voyages being planned for this summer and the following one *— all
designed to fit the average college student 's pocketbook. We 'll keep
you posted.
This is just a small sample of what N.S.A. has been doing
for American students. The actual scope of work would undoubtedly
cover any and all p hases of college life and activity. Take a look at
the purposes to which the N.S.A. is dedicated— "to maintain academic
freedom and students rights , to stimulate and improve democratic
student governments, to develop better educational standards , facilities,
and teaching methods , to promote international understanding and
fellowship, to guarantee to all people , because of their inherent dignity
as individuals , equal rights and possibilities for primary, secondary,
and hig her education regardless of sex , race , religion , political belief
or economic circumstance "'—just to name a few. They 're high standards in anyone 's language , and, without your support , that 's exactl y
what they will remain <— just high standards. So think about it,
B.S.T.C. ' ers , your future may be just around the corner , but your
college life is with you now , so why not make the most of it by getting
into the game? (be )

LAFFTIME . . . .

A visiting Maharaj a was being entertained at an exclusive club. The
cream of society was there to do him
honor, but, unfortunately the distinguished visitor spoke very little Engli sh , and his interpreter was little
better.
The Maharaj a, however, had been
coached a bit as to the proper procedure, so at a sign al from the toastmaster, he rose to his feet and j abbered enthusiastically,
As he seated himself , the interpreter rose to his feet and translated:
"Maharaj a , he say he think America

very great country. He like very
much."
The Maharaj a got up again and
j abbered some more, and again the
interpreter explained : "Maharaj a , he
say American women very beautiful.
He like American women very much."
Again the Maharaj a got to his feet,
a very serious expression on his face.
This time he spoke much longer, gesturing violently the while. The audience waited breathlessly, sure that a
message of great import was being
delivered. When he finished , the interpreter droned on in a monotone :
"The Maharaja he say, please, where
is the men's room?"

6. Their regular hours and fre-

mendations to Congress in the Stateof-the-Union message. The measure
was so strongly supported in the 80th
Congress that I anticipate its early
passage by the Senate in the present
session."
Sena t or Taft , who spoke for the
Senate minority, said : "I have joined
today in re-introducin g, together with
Senator Thom as of Utah , the bill to
provide federal aid to education. This
is the same bill passed by the Senate
in 1948. Its main purpose is to equalize educational opportunities for our
boys and girls throughout the United
States and increase the money -available for that purpose, especially in
the poorer states. Experience shows
that many of ¦
• these states, even
though they make a greater comparative financi al effort than the wealthier states , are unable to provide a
minimum basic education for many
children . The result has been widespread illiteracy in certain districts,
and that means, of course, a failure
of the equality of opportunity which
we desire for all children born in this
country . Assistance is only given to
a state after it has provided from its
own f unds a percentage of its people 's
income in excess of the general aver
age throughout the United States.
The bill forbids any federal interference in the educational policy of a
state, and prohibits federal interference with school administration. In
the committee , a study of present
statistics of income may permit
amendment increasing furth er the
standard prescribed. "
Commending the sponsoring Senators for their support of this measure,
Willard E. Givens, executive secretary of the National Education Association , expressed great satisfaction
at the strong support which the measure appears to have from the newlyelected members of the Senate as
well as from those who voted for its
passage in the 80th Congress. "It is
expected ," said Givens, "that the bill
will pass the Senate promptly, since
the same measure was adopted in the
last session by such a decisive vote."
"Only through the enactment of
such legislation as the bill introduced
today, pursuant to the recommendations of the President , ca n million s of
our children be relieved of an inju stice entirely inconsistent with the
principles of democracy, " said Givens.
"Educators hope that this measure
will be enacted by both Senate and
House quickly so that its provisions
for the equalization of educational
opportunity may go into effect when
the schools open next fall. "

We hardly expect an undefeated
basketball season. The teams that fin ish a season un def eate d ,are few and
far between. At the moment, only
seven major basketball college teams
are undefeated, attest in g to t he terrific pressure a basketball player and
coach must be un der .
The Husky junior varsity has turned in a commendable record. Ledyard
seems to be the big gun, but all of the
members are former high school stars
and have helped add luster to the preliminary that formerly was a period
of dull waiting on the part of fans
whose only interest was in the varsity
fray to be staged when the "Pups "
relinquished the floor. Charlie Getchy,
for instance, made quite a. reputation
for himself with last season's championship Conyngham High School team.
And if you want an. interesting success story, read the history of this
school which has won the title so
often in a league in which it is the
small est competitor, that is, according
to the number of students. (Wish we

Huskies failed to correct until the
game was a foregone conclusion, the
East Stroudsburg Warrior's humiliated the Wishermen by the stunning
score of 42-34. Adding insult to injury
was the capable defensive unit of. the
Red and Black which limited the
Maroon and Gold to but nine points
in the first half.
East Strou dsbur g was almost as
imp otent as the Huski es in th e early
stages of the contest. They netted but
two field goals in the f irst quarter and
six in the second.
Past the Feeling Out Stage
Apparently riled by what the coaches must have said between halves,
both teams came out fast in the second canto. The Huskies outscored
th eir h osts , but were unable to cut in
on the substantial margin by which
they trailed at halftime.
Ed Jones was having an off -night ,
thus enabling Coach Welsh to add an
extra defender under the Bloomsburg
basket. When the Huskies went all
out on attack, this strategy worked
effectively, especially since all of the
Husky crew was having difficulty
hitting from even close range. This
Husky bottleneck enabled the Indians
to widen their margin of victory.

is noteworthy that sports have come

An allocation of a hundred dollars
was granted to the intramural project, which brings to mind the fact
that It's high time someone organized
the basketball league. Or is next

don't know, we're lost.
We might suggest fox hunting as

move if Mr. Hoch scheduled all the
remaining games at home. Highly
impossible, we know, but we believe
it would be to the Huskies advantage,
because they looked fine on the home
boards in both appearances.
Fellas like Dave Linkchorst, Charley Boyer, Walt Banull, and others
are certainly capable of playing better ball on the road. The above
mentioned cagers have shown great
form at home—let's hope they can
start producing on foreign courts.
We're not (far be it from us) downing the club or ceasing to back it by
any means, but we would like to see
the Huskies play the brand of ball
we know they are capable of playing.
