j- I Dance Interpretations Presented I By Iva Kiichell, Dance Satirist I Civic Music Association I Sponsors Stage Celebrity i In Downtown Concert I Before a capacity audience in the 1 I Bloomsburg High School Auditorium I on the evening of January 13, 1949, I Miss Iva Kitchell presented a stellar performance of satirical and classical ballet interpretations. Several numbers were composed and arranged for the artist by her pianist-accompanist, Harvey Brown. Other numbers by this pint-sized package of Panic pageantry were set to accompaniments by modern and classical composers, as she kept the entire audience in a mirthful mood throughout most of what proved to be a very entertaining program. Opening with "Sonatina Rococco," in three movements, "Allegro Artifici al," "Andante Sentimental," and "Rondo Con Esprit," by Harvey Brown, Miss Kitchell flitted , seemingly t otter ed , about the stage, but proved herself to be completely in control of this selection , as was the case in all her parodies of "the Dance," In "Chorus Girl — Vintage of 1920" all the characteristic grins, grimaces, leg art, and other movements too numerous to mention were recalled to the stage for the benefit of the spectators. i "Salesman (with apologies to the Fuller Brush Man)" saw the artist in a , smart black and white checked attire as she gesticulated her way through a demonstration of the wares and a tale of the woes of the purveyor of practical pot-polishers. Selections included in the group, "Something Classic," i n c l u d e d a "Scarf Dance" to Beethoven 's "Minuet in G" and "Garland Dance" to Schubert's "Moment Musical." Accessories for these numbers were those described in the titles, the garland in the latter serving, before the conclusion of the dance, as a skipping rope. In "Portrait of a Hostess," another composition by the accompanist, the ballerina portrayed a lady making preparations for receiving visitors, greeting the guests, making introductions and furthering conversations among them, and then sinking into a chair in an exhausted manner following the departure of the last of the entertained. The accompaniment provided an interesting background as the two artists worked together in such movements as the opening of doors and gestures of laughter rippling through the room. "Bacchanale (As seen at the Opera)" with music by Saint-Saens portrayed the drunken orgy of the Greek god of wine. Opening the second part of the program, "Romance " was of an entirely different nature as it described the ecstasies of a young maiden in love. Returning quickly to the humorous vein, a Harvey Brown arrangement of "Maisle at the 'Moovies' (With Gloria —the Girl Friend)" had many in the audience nodding in recognition of the distracting antics and displays of emotion as presented by Miss Kitchell. In a clever costume representing a kitten , the artist frolicked about the stage in pursuit of a large ball of yarn to a number titled "Me-ow, " As an innovation , this interpreter of the terpsichorean art wandered about the stage, unaccompanied, spurred on to "seek, search, and never find!" in "Soul in Search ," a parody ' of Martha Graham's profound and : intricate dance, "Dark Meadow." Mlxi Ing backstage comedy with ballet , the ] performance was brought to a close i with Ponchlelli's "Ze Ballet," Responding to the continuous applause, Miss Kitchell presented two 1 ( encores. The first was an amusing 1 parody of a first performance by the £ artist at the age of eight, The second \ was of a psychological nature, called 1 "Obsession.

Penns ylvania Schools Still Need Teacher s In Most Fields An ar t i cle recently published in "The Albrightian," student newspaper at Albright College, states that the shortage of teachers in the elementary field had grown to 1,626 on August 10, 1948. This shortage extends to the secondary field in all subj ects other than English, social studies, and foreign languages. These were the findings of a recent survey made by all county and district superintendents in Pennsylvania.

Six hundred students enrolled during the advance registration period two weeks ago, an additional 200 enrolled Thursday, January 20, and, it is expected that the total will reach the 835 mark established for the firs t semester. Of the registrants, 390 are living in rooms on the campu s, h alf of th a t number being men. There are more men living on the campus at the present time than in any other previous year, with additional quarters having been made available on the third floor of Waller Hall. Of the 420 day students registered, some are boarding in the town, and others commute from their homes. Forty-one new students enrolled for the first time this semester, and the number is not expected to exceed fifty. Authorities have announced that there is ample housing facilities for all students, and that no additional rooms in the community will be required for this term.

Andrews Outlines Theor y of Atom; Describes Use Commencement exercises for a class of thirty-three seniors were held in the Carver Hall Auditorium during the regular assembly period, Thursday, January 13, 1949. The processional, 'Triumphal March ," from Tschaikowsky's Symphony No. 3, was played by Mr. H. F. Fenstemaker at the console as the administrative representatives, faculty, and members of the graduating class entered the auditorium. Dean Emeritus William B. Sutliff offered the invocation. The speaker of the morning, Dr. Donald Hatch Andrews, was introduced by President Harvey A. Andruss. An authority on modern atomic research , Dr. Andrews is chairman of the Chemistry Department, John s Hopkins University, a past director of the Chemistry Department there, and director of the Cryogenry Laboratory. He is now working with a group aided by a grant from the Atomic Scientists' Emergency Fund, of which Professor Albert Einstein is Chairman. The topic of his lecture was "Atomic Energy and the Faith of a Scientist." Dr. Andrews began his talk by describing the tremendous increase in the amount of power which has been made available in the world during the past few centuries. During this development , and especially in more recent times , a control of this power by a balance - of - power plan among nations has been tried. However, to this attempted control of power must be added moral and spiritual controls. In an excellent description of the structure of the atom , the physicist outlined several points of the atomic theory. Tracing the mass of the atom to the tiny nucleus of protons at the center, it was stated that the entire mass of the human race could be reduced to fit into a small pocketsized bottle. If, however, the energy contained in the atoms of one human body could be released , providing explosive force, this energy would be equal to that released by 20,000 tons of T.N.T. This power was also described as being sufficient to operate all electric plants in the United States for a period of ten months. When the time arrives that this energy can be released by breaking into the atomic structures of the elements, there should be such an unlimited supply of power that the government can supply free power to all homes. This energy, in the form of fuel, could be carried in such compact form that enough fuel could be carried in a briefcase to operate a city in the Arctic for one year. A development of this nature would remove the limits of size and payload for air transportation, for enough fuel for the longest trip of the largest airship could be contained in a capsule no larger than the size of a fountain pen. In like manner, with understanding of this new source of power will come accomplishment in all fields of scionr>f> . Further describing the atom, the scientist told of one of the newer concepts of atomic theory, that of dynamic vibration. These vibrations, In the form of concentric waves emanating from the center of the structure, give the atom its power. Superimposing upon one another, these waves create in combination what is not present in each In an individual state. This is an illustration of the old axiom that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Referring to the structure of thei (Continued on page 2) Jfflaroon anb #olfo The Aff liction by Robert A.

Besides this yet - unexplained action is the invisible force which, through the laws of gravitation , ties the individual human being to the entire universe. Stressing the need for trying to understand these intangible principles, and calling fo r a better attempt of man to understand his fellow men, the lect u re was brought to a close as the speaker informed the members of the audience that they are living in a world in which they must face reality. In the face of this, by developing these understandings, "Ye shall kn ow t h e truth , and the truth shall make ye free." Mr . Ralph Wire, accompanied at the piano by Miss Delphine Buss, added to the program as he sang "Th e Lord's Prayer," in a vocal setting by Malotte. Members of the graduating class were presented by Dr. Thomas P. North to President Harvey A. Andruss for the ceremony • of conferring of degrees. Closing the program, the entire assembly joi ned in the singing of the "Alm a M a ter ," led by Miss Harriet M. Moore, after which the graduates left the auditorium to the strains of the recessional , "Pon t ifi ca le Ma rch ," by Lemmens. Mr. H. F. Fenstemaker was at the console for these closing selections.

Fourth , and lastly, the New York educator believes that the high school student should be given opportunities to serve others. The adolescent is not an irresponsible individual. When he is given the opportunity, he is willing and capable of helping others. And when he helps others, ho is uncon ,sciously helping himself. Education Looks to the Future: Greater Oppor tunit ies Predicted for Prospective Teachers in Rura l Education Greater opportunities for teachers and prospective teachers in the field of rural education are predicted in the years ahead as the result of a twoyear study recently completed by (he Nati onal Commission on School Reorganization. Findings and conclusion of the study have been released in a 286-page report , entitled "Your School District ," in which the commission urges reorgani zation of school districts throughout the nation and sets up a program of action for achieving improved disr tricts. The one-room school house, operated by thousands of districts today at a high per-pupil cost, will gradually disappear when t h e commission's plaps for reorganization are put into effect. In their place, educators predict, will be some of the finest schools in the nation. Consolidation of school districts will be guided by certain standards set up by the commission. Administrative units are satisfactory, according to the commission's recommendations, when they are large enough to provide schools in which: (1) the enrollment in the kindergarten and grades one to six is not fewer than 175 pupils with at least seven fulltime teachers, a more desirable minimum being 300 or more pupils with 12 or more teachers ; (2) the enrollment in j unior and senior high school grades is not fewer than 300 pupils, with a minimum of 12 full-time teachm ers; (3) elementary pupils are required to travel not more than 45 minutes and high school pupils not more than one hour each way between home and school ; and (4) each elementary school serves a neighborhood or small community center and each high school serves a larger comm unity, with every community having a school. Through consolidation , local school administrative units will be able to provide: the services of educational and business administration ; supervision of attend ance, instr uction and transportation ; school library service, and community library service if the community has no public library ; adult education leadership; physical and health examinations of children ; specialists for the identification of atypical children ; the services of school psychologists and nurse-tea chers ; and a research staff. Sponsored by the Rural Education Project of the University of Chicago and the Department of Rural Education of the National Education Association , the long-range goal sought by the National Commission is the development of an educational program that will stimulate and guide each individual in developing his abilities to their fullest extent for useful satisfying living. This can be accomplished , the commission believes, only when schools are well enough equipped and well enough staffed to offer a rounded educational program to every boy and girl in the nation. » Attent ion, Frosh! 4 You are now college students. You must be prepared to accept all the responsibilities and duties that go with this dilemma. You are about to get "th e word"—"the late word , that is—as to what will be expected of you. This "wor d" comes from a usually reliable source high up in t he hi erar chy which cannot be quoted at this time. All college students must be blase. In American this means bored. A person of real college rank is always bored. If the dorm burns down , he i s bored. If someone cracks a j oke, he is more bored than ever. (This rule is somewhat modified when the j oke teller is one of your profs. In this case you immediately fall howling to the floor where you writhe for five minutes in pure ecstasy.) To get back to being bored; however. You must cultivate a certain distinct look of boredom. This involves sotting the facial features a particular way when you arise in the morning and holding them rigid for the rest of the day. If a glassy-eyed stare of wondering stupidity can be accomplished , it's all the better. Freshmen should practice the bored look best suited for their personality before a mirror. Girls particularly should practice diligently before a mirror in anticipation of the long, boring hours when they will bo surrounded by bored men in the old gym. Since the old gym is for smoking, it is advisable that the girls become proficient in the art of holding a cigarette. Needless to say, girls, a cigarette is made to be held. A real college girl would never bo caught puffing on her cigarette. She simply holds it. If you are still in doubt as to j ust what this bored look is , I can recommend a few concrete examples. See any movie starring Alexis Smith , Dorothy Lamour, or Jane Russell. Study their facial expressions. You will find that they arrive in the first reel with one set expression which never alters through all the trials and tribulations of tho next eleven reels. Study these examples carefully, practice, work hard , and you , too, can be bored. As Freshmen, you must become acquainted with your campus. Roam about at will the first few days, no t ing carefully the most important places — the old gym, the cigarette machines, the card tables , suitable, secluded spots for extra - curriculars, available corners for the manipulation of the galloping dominoes , etc. The college library should be identified also. It is an excellent place for a connivial get-together and general bull session. It is rumored that there are books in the library which pertain to education and learning. These were evidently placed there for the use of the professors, howev er , and sho u ld not concern the student. What do you need in the way of equipment when you go to class ? There is only one essential — a large notebook cover — the bigger the better. During a lecture this cover will serve as effective camouflage for your comic book or game of tic-tac-toe. Pencils should never be carried by those who do not play tic-tac-toe. Finally, Frosh, you must be qualified to form definite ' opinions of the merit or demerit of your various profs. This is important in order that you can give other students the "word" on them. You can rate your profs appropriately from the grade you receive from them. After all, you are a potential genius. Look at the write-up you got in your hometown paper when you loft for college !Thus, if a prof gives you an "A" , he's obviously a discerning, intelligent toachor , an excellent j udge of human nature, and a prince among mon. If ho gives you a "B," he's a good Joe . . . bu t . . . I a "C" moans ho knows his stuff but is a poor j udge of (your) character. Everything you lonrnod you got for yourself, If he hands you a "D", he's a lousy teacher , susceptible to apple polishers and lacks the ability to recognize merit. If ho gives you an "E" you nevor speak his name. When someone asks you about him , you merely give them a sea-sickish grimace and shrug your shoulders. Follow these instructions, Frosh, and before long you will bo pointed to proudly as one who is college rank. You'll really be rank, too.

Bloomsburg outscored their opponents from the floor , however, with .18 field goals to the Colonel's 17. High scorer for the Colonel's, easily beaten by B.S.T.C. earlier in the season, was Phil Sekerchak, who flipped in 20 points, eight of them fouls.

He ate the menu from soup to nuts. Smacked his lips with every sip of wine. Then ordered some fifty-cent cigars. When the waiter lighted one for him, he puffed leisurely and, with a smile on his face, he said, "Waiter, have the manager come here a moment." The manager came over. The satisfied diner said, "Do you remember me, manager ? Remember me coming in here about a year ago ? I ate a fine meal like this and I didn't have any money to pay for it — and you kicked me out into the street?" "Yes," answered the manager nervously, "I remember that happening." "Well," drawled the well-fed one, "I'll have to trouble you again." —Now Til Tell One Ed Jones "I caught my boyfriend flirting."

"Lean over and close your eyes," said the kindergarten lad to his student teacher. "I have something to tell you." Smiling, she closed her eyes and leaned over, whereupon the innocent little Benjamin Franklinite, without further ado, kissed her. Later, she blushingly confided her secret to a 'special friend'. She closed her eyes to show him how it all happened. Here we might become poetic and say that at that instant all time teetered on the brink of eternity ; somewhere a train whistled; somewhere a streetcar stopped to discharge its passengers ; somewhere a solitary hawk wheeled over the solemn silence of a hemlock forest. But what, you might ask, does all this have to do with trains, streetcars, and hawks ? And , besides, who car es whether time stood upright or fell over ? Ah, gentle reader! Have you no imagination ? T S|« 5fC V ^ Running His Way Through College . . . We survey with interest the account given of one Pierre Westbrook Mather, student at Bucknell University. "Desperately in need of money . . . " begins the incredible chronicle of Pierre 's adven tu re, and immediately w e know that he is a college student. At any rate, Mather wagered at odds of 20 to 1 that he could make a non-stop run between the river bridges at Lewisburg and Island Park, a distance of nine miles. Knowing that he was not an athlete nor in condition for such a long distance ja unt, his frat brothers quickly covered his last $11.55 at the odds quoted , making the prize exactly $231. Mather apparently knew what he was doing, for one hour and twenty-five minutes after he started his long run he pulled up, tired but jubilant, at the Island Park bridge. Quite a feat in any man 's land. * * * * * Of Ships and Shoes and Connubial Bliss . . . This has nothing to do with the Walrus and the Carpenter, but rather with the item which appeared in the last issue of the Maroon and Gold, relative to schoolmarms making the best marital bets. The writer hastens to add that nurses are also highly rated in this respect. A number of B.S.T.C. lads have espoused nurses, and report that they are homemakers deluxe. Looking at the other side of the ledger, doctors, ministers, and teachers, in that order, are rated as the best husband prospects. Traveling salesmen are generally regarded as being the least favorable matrimonial raw material. Shakespeare, however, established a much broader category from which a young lady might choose a husband. His advice was "If you must marry, marry a fool." * * * * * Shades of Darwin . . . Whether or not they have ever heard of the Doghouse is hard to say, but for some reason j ust about all of Columbia County 's homeless dogs have set up headquarters on the B.S.T.C. campus, where they have been received as honored guests by the student body. No doubt most persons realize that if it weren 't for a shift of circumstance a long, long time ago, we might be the ones shivering outside in the cold while the dogs were comfortably basking themselves indoors. Perhaps one of them might then say of sne of us, "I saw the cutest human being lying on the floor of the Dean of Hounds office this morning." To which another would reply, with a shudder, "I don 't care for them at all, they look too much like monkeys." Possibly some canine columnist even might have named his column "In the Humanhouse." ' * * * * * " Noted in Passing . In the course of keeping an inquisitive paw upon the pulse of Bloomsburg, this column notes that the G.I. influence is gradually ebbing from the campus. This shifting trend is especially noticeable among the resident students. In but a little while the dormitory corridors will cease to echo to the old familiar calls of ship and barracks, and the late bull sessions will no longer center themselves around far-off cities and islands. Then, too , there will be none of the riotous raising of holy halleluj ah that always attends the arrival of the checks. But doughnuts get you dollars that boys will be boys nevertheless. * * * * * As Seen from the Doghouse Door . . . Barks for the last squ are dance.

Also, out of all the wheeling and reeling we have been able to extract a Canine of the Week — none less or none other than Dean Hoch, who did a bang-up j ob of planning and emceeing the whole affair.

"Fashion ," according to Webster, is "the prevailing convention usage in mat t ers of dress , etc." But to us , it means more than that. It means what is current—what is considered smart. The question now is: what will be fashionable this Spring? How will we know what to buy that will be good for the whole season ? One of the most prominent changes in fashion for this year is fabric. There are city-dwelling tweeds, the worldly cottons, new weaves of worsteds , tone-on-tone prints , sma ll pl aids , and , of cou rse , Paisleys. Iridescence is cropping up in new places, too—Shant u ng, for instance. Quiet suitings in unaccustomed patterns and weaves are taking over this Spring. We have dotted j erseys; iridescent gabardines; and checked tweeds. These gentle Tweeds are shaping up for city wear. This year you won't be rushing the season with Cottons. The season is rushing Cottons—Cottons that make noise like taffeta . . . Cottons that stand out resplendent as damasks . . . Cottons that are irresistible . . . Cottons that are well-mannered in wallpaper prints, pretty calicos, and new stripes and plaids. The f abrics are new and the colors are exciting. Let's start with a pale peach, which ends with copper, and moves on 'to brown ; or, ta ke some bland beiges, greys, or neutrals, and mix them up with all the shades of green and blue that you have. These last two colors are bein g rebprn this year and are headed for big things. When planning your Spring and Summer wardrobe , keep your eye on fabrics and color. Of course, lines are still important (and always shall be), but fabric and color are the things that are making the news in fashions! Dramatic Club Accepts Eight New Members With apologies to those applicants who showed marked talent in the field of dramatics, but were unable to be accepted for the Dramatic Club ranks at the present time, the Club announced that eight students have been accepted for membership. The contestants trying out were observed to possess marked ability to some degree, but the necessary limits of the club forced the choosing to be narrowed down to only eight. It is the hope of the club that those who did not get approval this time will try again next semester. The eight students who were selected are requested to be present at the next regular Dramatic Club meeting on Tuesday night , January 25. They are : Peggy Dorsavage, Laura Philo, Jean Ruckle, Henry Murrey, Dorothy Cedor, Russel Looker, Thomas Anthony, and Nancy Wesenyak. College Hour Program .. KITTY AND HER YARN .
