Colleges Says VA The Veterans Administration recently announced that the number of veterans in colleges and universities under the G.I. Bill and Public Law 16 in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware has dropped 10.5 per cent during the past year. On November 30, 1948, veterans enrolled numbered 101,374, as against 113,224 on the same date in 1947. Despite the drop in college enrollments, which includes universities, colleges, junior colleges, professional schools , and teachers colleges, the number of veterans in schools under these programs showed an increase of 6.2 per cent. These schools include elementary, secondary, high school, trade and evocational schools, and technical institutes. As of November 1948, there were 99,494 enrolled against a figure of 93,686 at the same time in 1947. Nationally , the trend conformed with a 15 per cent drop in enrollments in colleges and universities and a two per cent Increase in lower institutes of education.

Dr. J. t Almus Russell recently .attended the 63rd annual meeting of the Modern Language Association of Ameri ca, which was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. This organization, of which Dr. Russell is a life-time member, includes college teachers of English and modern languages. The language group includes French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Slavic. Dr. Russell, upon being Interviewed , pointed out that for the first time, considerable attention is being paid to writers of Slavic and East-European literature, despite the rising world concern over the spread of Communism. Noted book publishers had displays set up in the mezzanine of the hotel, and , in many inst an ces, the authors of the books were present to explain and answer queries about their works. The meetings were held in various divisions each morning and afternoon , conducted by nationally known authors in their particular fields. A number of lectures were given by* authorities on Victorian and American literature. Another series was concerned with the dialects of various states and sections of the United States. In addition to being given the opportunity of hearing outstanding speakers and lectures, meeting famous authors, and forming interesting, mutually advantageous acquaintanceships, the members of the association were also entertained at Lake Success, N.Y., where they were able to get a first-hand glimpse of the United Nations in the process of functioning. Miss J ohnston Attends Speech Conference In Washington , D.C. Miss Alice Johnston, head of the Speech Department at the College, attended a speech conference in Washington , D. C, during the Christmas Holidays. The Conference, a convention of the Speech Association of America, the American Speech and Hearing Association, the American Educational Theater Association, and the Committee of Debate Materials and Interstate Cooperation of the National University Extension Association , was held at the Hotel Statler on December 28, 29, and 30, 1948, with over 1300 people attending. Miss Johnston is a member of the first two of these Associations. In a series of j oint sessions and special meetings, were discussed topics of specific interest to educators in the Speech field. Several readings and plays were also presented by various groups. At a j oint luncheon of all four associations , on Wednesday, December 29, Maj or General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Service, spoke on the "Impact of Military Training on Education," to highlight the Convention. In his address, General Hershey assured educators of the full cooperation of the Selective Service Department with American schools and colleges. Other features of the confab were a television broadcast of Gordon Bllgh's mystery comedy, "In Cold Blood," by the American University Radio Workshop ; and a tour of the U. S. Army Aural Rehabilitation Center, at Forest Glen, Maryland, conducted by the Director of the Center. The 1949 Convention will be held In Chicago. Talent and Comed y Mark Student Variety Show "Stardust Follies II" was a decided success. At least, so goes the campus comment following the one-morning stand of this all-student show, which was presented during the assembly period on Thursday, January 27. Sparked with gags by the master of ceremonies, Charles Edwards, who also directed the production, the program moved rapidly from one type of musical entertainment to another. Outstanding vocal soloists, duo-pianist s, a male quartet , an accordionist, and a pair of "Roving Cowboys" were among the acts included in this crosssectional review of college talent. J oe Curill a, well - known baritone soloi st , was called upon as the first performer on the morning's program. Given the difficult opening position of "warming up" the audience, Joe fill ed the part very capably as he sang "Wagon Wheels" and "The Desert Song." He was accompanied at th© piano by Delphine Buss. Making their second appearance before a college assembly, Ruth Von Bergen and Dick Wagner were again well-received as they presented their two-piano interpretations of modern music. Their selections included "Blue Moon " and "Malaguena." "Pavanne," by Morton Gould, ' followed as an encore. Next in the dazzling line of talent was "The Campus Four," a recent addition to the musical organizations of the school. Four young men who like to sing, they include Chuck Edwards and Dick Wagner, tenors, and Emory Rarig and Jack Wintersteen, basses. Originally programmed to do three songs, "Behold! The Bridegroom Cometh ," "Marj orie," and "Let's Go Down in Jordan," the group responded to the enthusiastic applause accorded them with another close - harmony number, "If I But Knew." An artist new to many of the members of the college community, Eleanor McClintock pleased the entire audience as she opened her part of the performance with "Strange Music," a song based on a melody from the music of Edward Grieg. Her next offering was titled "Four Leaf Clover." The beauty and vibrancy of this new soprano voice brought forth resounding applause, which was acknowledged by the soloist as she sang Tschaikovsky 's "None But the Lonely Heart." Her accompanist was Dick Wagner. Appearing for the first time in the current school year, Teresa Cierlitsky, popularly known as "Terry," presented a group of accordion selections. First was the South American tango, "Jalousie." This was followed by the spirited "Tico Tico" and a medley of popular songs which included recent favorites, "If I Had You," "Peg O" My Heart," and "Where or When." Closing the hour of entertainment in a hilarious manner, keeping the auditorium ringing with laughter and applause for hours after the last note of music had faded from the hall , were "Frankie and Johnnie — The Roving Cowboys." Frank Luchnick, wearing green trousers and a colorful plaid flannel shirt, provided the guitar accompaniment as he sang the melody throughout most of the selections, John Trimble was attired somewhat differently as he appeared in a black, baggy suit , a crest-fallen top hat, a four-ln-hand tied in a bow, and a black sash about his waist partly (Continued on page 2) iHlaroon anb @olb THE STORM . . . by Mari e Mattls Fubllihed Weekly by The Students of Bloomsburg State Teachers College EDITOH-IN-CHIEF — Robert 0.

Recently, a program was in- augurate d whe reby the United States and Great Britain agreed to exchange a number of experienced school teachers for a definite period of time. The purpose of this program is to acquaint the teachers and educators with the a dvantages an d problems of their respective educational systems. When the American public first learned of this novel plan , many p eople were dubious as to the effect it would have on future educational training activities in this country. Many could not see how American education could derive any benefit from the experiences and training our teachers might gain while observing and teaching in England; or , h ow t h e t each ers from Great Britain visiting our country could aid us in any way. We often become too smug in our conviction that America has the best of everything and can gain nothing from other countries. We often fail to realize that almo st our entire ed ucationa l system is b ased up on t he ed ucationa l standards set up by early English educators. It is true that we have progressed rapidly and have greatly improved our orig inal concepts of education , but we should never become so naive as to believe that we cannot benefi t from the experiences of others, "whether it be in education , economics, or any other phase of mutual relationship. Thomas Carlyle once said , "E xperience is the best of schoolmasters , only the school fees are heavy." (gj ) Sophomores Plan Annual Cotillian For February 25 The Sophomore class is now completing plans for their forthcoming Cotillion. The dance, an annual affair, is scheduled to be held on Friday, February 25. This year's affair, according to the co-chairmen Jay Cortright and Ruth Doody, will have a "nightclub" motif. Charles Roberts and Rita Dixon are in charge of decorations. The Cotillion is the first in the series of college dances. It will be followed by the Freshman Hop, which will be staged shortly after the Easter vacation, and the Junior Prom, which as yet has no definite date. The grand finale of the social year, the Senior Ball, will then climax the array of dance schedules listed for the spring semester at B.S.T.C.

Nancy Crumb Ann Papani a CIRCULATION Geo. Cliebro , Mgr. Cnrleton Ermlsh Marvin Meneeley Barbara Thompson Foucault Pendulum Damaged by Fall Science Hall Apparatus Illustrates Principle Of Earth' s Rotation On Tuesday, January 25, a t noon , the Foucault Pendulum, which was suspended in the Science Hall building , suddenly snapped free of its mooring and plunged to the floor. The pendulum, one of the very few in existence today, is a unique scientific apparatus devised to illustrate the earth's rotation. It was installed about a year and a half ago by science instructors H. H. Lanterman and S. I. Shortess. The pendulum consists of a cylindrical bob weighing approximately 32 pounds, which is attached to the end of a 40-foot piano wire that is anchored to the ceiling of the stairwell on the third floor of the building. When this bob, or weight, is set in action, it slowly swings back and forth in arcs that take 7.2 seconds to complete. Although to the layman 's eye the pendulum seems to move around in a circle, the movement is actually an illusion. The swinging ball actually stays in one plane of motion while the earth and the building in which it is housed move slowly around beneath it. The simple but highly ingenious and illustrative invention was the product of a brilliant French scientist named Jean Foucault. The ' World first became aware of its discovery in 1851. The bob actually fell only a short distance—about six inches, to be exact. In spite of this negligible distance, the force of gravity involved was great enough to cause the plumeting weight to put a slight dent in the cement floor above which it was hung. The cause that made the supporting wire snap is not definitely known, but it is believed that either molecular strain in the weakened wire, or atmospheric conditions acting upon the cable was responsible. The damage was repaired within 48 hours, however, and the device is now in working condition. Probably the most outstanding change brough t about by the accident is in the length of the #wire. It is now three inches shorter* which will shorten the arc of the pendulum's motion. "Tempest!" The cry rang through the vessel; It echoed in vain. The craft was no match For the powerful main. Like a billowing giant The great sea arose To inflict dreaded Death On an innocent foe ; Then subsided a moment To scorn the cries Of we aken ed m ariner s Who whimpered, then died.

An Open Letter to Dormitory Women Women, according to Goethe, are " the foundation of good manners ." Emily Post is living proof of the soundness of this observation. Mrs. Post has [or severa l generations been the definitive authority on what is socially right or wrong. Things done according to Emily Post never seem awkward or inappropriate , and she has defined good manners as being simply " common sense put into practice." Women are the foundation of good manners . The point remains without dispute. Down through the ages, women in civilized countries have been extended e v e r y conceivable courtesy. Our codes of ethics and socia l conduct have always paid them tribute, and such is the way it should be. Again the point remains without dispute. But is there a reciprocal obligation so far as their social contact with others is concerned? It would seem that there should be, for it is pure ly a matter of common sense. H a p p il y, the point to be broug ht out in this letter concerns only a f e w of the dormitory women. H o w e v e r , the number is sufficient to create a situatio n which reflects unkindly upon the conduct of those involved. We refer to the pra ctice of cutting into the chow line. The mere f act that you have a '« friend in that particular p lace in the line is no excuse for an exhibition of poor manners. We should like to have you feel that every bod y in line is your friend. So why not treat them as you would treat friends? A COMMITTEE OF DORMITO R Y MEN Newman Club Meets The Newman Club held its first meeting of the second semester on Monday evening, January 31, in the St. Columban Church Hall. Brief prayer services, led by the Reverend William J. Burke, opened the meeting. The meeting was then turned over to the newly-elected president , Joseph Vincent. Plans were discussed for the Club's annual spring dinner meeting which is to be held in the banquet rooms of the Bloomsburg Moose Club. John Brown was appointed general chairman of the affair. Jean Petarra was named program chairman for the next meeting, to be held on Monday, February 7, at 7:30 P.M. A motion for adj ournment closed the business meeting, and a group recital of a short prayer completed the evening's activities. songs were both current favorites and old western ballads, including "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place," "Memories," "Red River Valley, " and "She'll Be Comin 1 'Round the Mountain." This thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining program was brought to a close as Charles Edwards recalled the entire cast to the stage for a curtain call. Morning devotions were led by Joe Kulick, a member of the student assembly committee. He also introduced the master of ceremonies to the audience.

The Pennsyl vania Regional Assembly Of the National Student Associa tion by R omeo Danni The Pennsylvania Regional * Assembly of the National Student Association was held recently at Albright College , Reading, Penna. Among th e 250 delegates, repre sentatives of fifty-two var ious colleges and universities throughout the state, were five students from B.S.T.C. The five were : Beverly Cole , Pennsylvania Regional SecreThe discussions that would interest or concern the students of this college were in the fields of Student Government , Educational Practices and Human Relations, Cultural Activities and the Culturale, and the Inte rn ati on al Aff airs Workshop. The panel on Student Government discussed practical methods of solving the problems raised-by student governing bodies. On the basis of student government questionnaires turned in by the attending delegates, four problems were posed as representative. 1. Representation and Election . 2. Continuity. 3. Improvement of Student Administration Relationships. , 4. Control of Student Finances. In order to discuss these problems more eff ectively, the panel was divided into groups on the basis of the size of the school ; since it was felt that the most effective solutions would come out of discussions in which parti cipating schools had a similarity of campus problems and means of improvement. The groups met separately for two hours, and at the end of this time , the following recommendations were set forth: Representation and Election Methods The general recommendations arising from the discussions of the delegates from small schools (under 2000 ) were two-fold: A. That they recommende d an over-all Student Government representing the entire student body as the most effective and democratic means of representation. B. That they realized the importance of representation through organizations, but felt that they should have no vote in the actual governing functions. Rather, it was suggested there should be a definite channel with regard to their special problems, which could be considered by this over-all Student Government. Continuit y In regard to continuity, the entire panel felt that there were several definite suggestions which could be put into effect almost immediately on the campus level : A. That bi-enhial elections of Student Government r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s should be held to insure continuity of program. B. That the secretary of the outgoing Student Government group prepare a summary of the minutes and a report of the accomplishments of the Student Government in order that the new body would have a source of info rmation regarding precedents and previous policy decisions. Concurrent with the establishment of these practices on the campus level, the panel felt that there was a necessity for the establishment of some form of training program for these students aspiring to be leaders in campus government. Educational Practices and Human Relations Delegates discussed, at some length , the situation of discrimination in practice teaching in secondary education syst &ns, which was brough t up by Temple University. Negro students who are attempting to do their practice teaching are confronted with so - called "gentlemen's agreements" keeping them from doing this teachIncidentally . . . . The article in last week's issue, entitled "Attention, Frosh!", was written by Robert A. Baylor, of the feature staff. t ary; Rom eo Danni, N.S.A. Chair man of Activities at the College; Ted Swlgonski , C.G.A. Presid ent ; Audrey Terrel , and Joa n McDon ald. Upon returning : to the campus, Romeo Danni prepared the following report of the state-wide meeting which he presented at a recent College Council meeting. ing. It was felt that N.S.A. groups in schools in which these discriminatory practices are found could do much, either through their own efforts, or in co-operation with other organizations, such as N.A.A.C.P., to combat these practices. It was recommended that this type situation be referred to the Inter-Racial Clinic. Apparently, t here has been considerable controversy as to the work of the Clinic, and it was decided that f u r t h e r information should be obtained on the work of the Clini c, which is conducted at Swarthmore College. The second condi t ion di scu ssed was the discriminatory practice in State College barber shops. The question here is whether or not the direct action that the Penn State students have taken in instituting a boycott is the best method of combating these discriminations. Some members of the workshop felt that the better method would be to set up the non-discriminatory barber shop as advocated by the Committee on Racial Equality. Opinion in the town seems to be divided on the question, while the student body and the student government are backing the boycott. The question is whether or not the action now being pursued is the correct solution to the problem in li ght of the f act that negotiations have been conducted unsuccessfully for the past year and a half with the owners of the shops. Some of the recommendations made to the plenary sessions of the Regional Assembly for implementation by the local N.S.A. groups are : (1) Local groups should work with organizations directly interested in the various problems concerning human relations. Such organizations as N.A.A.C.P. can provide speakers acquainted with various local problems in race relations. (2) Local groups should sponsor panel discussions and debates on the general fields of human relations and local problems. (3) N. S. A. groups should work with Admission Directors and Committees on the problems of quota systems in those schools in which quota systems exist. (4) Local N.S.A. groups should urge the inclusion in college and university curricula of a course in human relations, which should include a certain amount of field work. (5) N.S.A. groups should work with Vocational Guidance officers and Job Placement Bureaus to abolish discrimination in vocational and j ob placement. (6) N.S.A. groups should become informed on the proposed Fair Educational Practices Law, stimulate campus interest in the bill , and contact their State legislators concerning its passage. This bill is due to come up in the 1949 session of the State Legislature, and this workshop strongly recommends that the Regional Assembly go on record in favor of this bill. The Culturale In the workshop on Cultural Activities, the Culturale was discussed. The Culturale will be composed of music which shall be representative of the music of the colleges participating. The program shall include glee clubs, choirs, instrumental ensembles, vocal solos, i ns t rumenta l solos, etc. The Culturale is to be held April 22 and 23, 1949, at the Metropolitan Theater in Philadelphia. The Cro-Magnon bull, which is the insignia of the Culturale, and designed by Marvin Lefitt, of the Tyler School of Fine Arts, is to be printed and a copy will be sent to each school ( Continued on page 4) I Husky Triumph Over King's Breaks Five-Game Losing Streak SIDELINES IN SPORTS . . . by Wayne Von Stetten Our hats off to a greatly improved and inspired Husky ball club, who played their hearts out losing to an I "on " Shippensburg quintet 52-50 last Saturday evening and whipping a good King 's College five on Tuesday evening 67-59, before a large crowd in spacious Centennial Gym. This complete reversal in our Huskie's play is indeed a welcome sight to all Bloom fans. In losing to the Red Raiders from Shippensburg, the Huskies displayed a great deal of fight and really looked like they were out for a win. Too bad they had to run into a Shipper outfit that experienced an I "on" evening. This fellow Chubb, in| cidentally, couldn't hit a barrel 1 against Mansfield the night before | their engagement with the Huskies, | dropping in two meager baskets. 1 What happens? —he hits for twenty \ against our gang. Before leaving the Shippensburg \ I fray, we can't help but mention the i spectacular performance of Bobby Kashner. The little guy was a sight for sore eyes as he dropped bucket I after bucket from all corners of the I I court in true Kashner style. Giving ¦i Bobby a slap on the back is a favorite pastime of ours. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy and helps prove our theory that there is a place on any i team for a good, little guy. Keep it I up, Bobby ! ! ! I Turning to the King's College game , on Tuesday, the Huskies set a new ] season high when they attempted 88 1 shots from the floor, connecting with I 27 for a .316 percentage, which is \ usually good enough to win. If our I memory serves us correctly the King's game was the first time this season in which the Huskies hit on nearly a third of their shots. Bloomsburg gained sweet revenge in this encounter, being swamped in early January by the Kingsmen at Wilkes-Barre. The boys were not about to settle for anything less than a win and did so in convincing manner. Bloom sewed up the hotly contested affair in true Bloomsburg fashion by pouring it on in the closing minutes—a feature that is definitely characteristic of our club this year. For the past several weeks, we've been dwelling on our pet tople—the inconsistency of our club. We continually pointed out that a club can't hope to show a successful season with one or two men bearing the brunt of the scoring. It's too easy for the opposition to work out a successful defense against the "big gun," and blow your offense sky high. Well, Tuesday evening against Kings, the Huskies posted four men in the double scoring column. You can readily see that without Banull's 10, Bartleson's 10, and Kreiser's 18—Boyer^ high of 21 would have been another case of a one-man attack In a losing game. A highlight to the Athletic Banquet last Thursday evening was the unexpected visit Stan (the man) Musial paid. This treat inj ected a great deal of pleasure into an already successful and enj oyable affair. Incidentally, If you see Dann y Lltwhller around town, ask him if Stan will ever ask to borrow his car again. We salute . .. Charlie Boyer, whose recent return to form has been a big factor in the Huskie's showing of late . . . Coach Bob Redman for starting his coaching course for prospective coaches—a great innovation . . . The Students of B.S.T.C, who, on Tuesday evening showed they are still behind our team by their constant enthusiasm. Till next time , remember , it's not whether you win or not that counts , it's the way you play the game.

The aggressiveness and determination that showed up in th e boys' playing was really something to see . . . something many of the fans had been waiting quite a Paul Slobozien spell for.

Such was the case last Saturday, January 29, when the B.S.T.C. Huskies played host to the Shipp ensburg S. T. C. court clan in Centennial Gym. The Shippers kept in the winning position practically all the way to the finish b*ut they had to stretch and strain to do it. The defeat "stalked Husky lads certainly looked as though they had finally decided to do something about the current-season jinx by coming up with the winner's ribbon in the game, but somewhere along the latch failed to click. In the last five minutes, both Elmer Kreiser and Bobby Kashner were pulled from the game on fouls. These two mainstays of the team made their absence known, a fact that the Bloomsburg courtsters well know. Kashner, long the undisputed court connoiseur of basketball in this section of the country, was evidently in top-shape despite the fact that he had not seen any direct action for quit e some time. Teaming up with ever-reliable Charley Boyer, he and his cohort managed to garner 38 of the 50 points allotted to the team. Sparkling set shots from the corner characterized Kashner 's game. During the firs t quarter , the Huskies fell, disappointingly short to the tally of eight points. However, the B.S.T.C. battlers never once gave up their grim sense of determination. They played a steady, ever-menacing game and gave the invaders a nipand-tuck battle right up to the end of the exciting game. Using Rocksandic in the pivot position , and Chubb as the hoop-man, Shippensburg sets up its offense which fin ally paid off. More than once a floor shot was made sweet and neat by the good team-work of this combination. At the foul line, the losers matched the winners point for point. Each of them converted 14 free tosses to boost up the score. This was considered good shooting by most of the lookerson at the game, but the Huskies still lacked one field goal in tying the score up even-even. Bloomsburg Pos.

Although the Huskies have been somewhat hard-pressed in their preceding games, they may be counted upon to give the Lycoming five something to talk about for a long time to come. On the other hand, the Warriors should not be taken with the legendary "grain of salt" for the simple reason that they have given a pretty good account of themselves so far this season. In the Elizabethtown game, the Warriors held the fabulous Frankie Keath to seventeen points. This accomplishment proves that the Warrior quintet has a very formidable defense, and is a team that may pull the unexpected at any time. The Warriors have already dominated the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, and the National Agricultural College. They fell before the assaults of Elizabethtown, Mansfield, Wilkes, Juniata, and their most recent rival, Kings College of WilkesBarre. Jack Sowers, rangy forward and high scorer of the Warrior aggregation, should prove to be a thorn in the side of the Huskies. The Huskies should be in top shape for the Lycoming contest. Bob "Smokey " Andrews has sufficiently recovered from his leg inj ury to be eligible for a starting assignment. Bobby Kashner and Charley Boyer have regained their old form, and are hitting the bucket from all angles. Walt Banull and Elmer Kreiser have play ed fine ball in the last two games. In general, all the members of the team have shown a great deal of improvement during the past few weeks, and are raring to scalp the Warriors. This is really going to be a "top-notch" game.

Come summer, 'twill be pleasant to lean against the ol' top rail and read a few chapters of "Black Beauty, " while a friend conceals himself behind Noetling Hall and adds to the atmosphere by whinnying like a horse. Or for that matter the college could institute a 'bookie' curriculum and use that plot of ground for a workshop. That would give Zeke Abrahams a chance to sit in the shade and work out his daily threehorse parlay. But enough of these variations on a theme.

Well, before you grab Clarabelle, le t 's lend an ear to a contemporary at Rider College. Matt LaCross of the Rider "News" claims that it ha s a "slightly bitter and none-too-delightful taste." Being possessed of a scientific curiosity, Mr. LaCross conducted some research, but he failed to specify whether they were blondes or brunettes. At any rate, in addition to having a barrel of fun , he learned that there is such a thing as raspberry lipstick; and on the basis of his discovery, Matt has issued a call for more flavors . He also claimed that vitamins could be added. This "Rider Plan " has its possibili t ies, and the LaCross lad's dissertation on it is nothing less than scholarly.

You may be interested to know that the 'wiggliness' of your tongue is governed by heredity, and that some persons are better 'tongue-wigglers' than others. Such , at least, is the conclusion of a University of Nebraska zoology professor. The prof's findings also disclaim the popular belief that women are more proficient tongue-waggers than men. In fact , and all you local lassies take note of this, it was also found that men not only equal the tongue-wagging ability of the fair sex, but are in the bargain moni easily persuaded to show off their lingual flexibility. In case you have inherited a talented tongue, you can compare your accomplishments with those of the prof's favorite case study. This young lad was able to touch his tongue against the tip of his nose, curl it into a double roll , and finally swallow it.

International Affairs The discussion of the Work , Study, and Travel Abroad Program, whereby stu dents can tour an d stu dy abr oa d at minimum of expense and a maximum of gain along formal and informal educational lines. Two main points were raised in conj unction with implementation of this program: 1. What suggestions should be made to foreign co - ordinating agencies to increase effectiveness of the tour ? 2. How can the desirability of selected applicants be insured ? It was suggested that more lectures, orientation , and information in simplified form on political and economic conditions be available to the students, Also, cus t oms, mores, and the condition and role of the student in the national set-up should be stressed more fully. Recommended criteria for the problem of selection is to set a minimum of academic achievement, N.S.A, participation , extra-curricular activities, equitable geographic distribution, and give preference to those who will be returning to school to further international interests and co-operation. Moved: That the above criteria be Th e Bloomsburg Junior Bow-wow Squad let out a triumphant victory yell Tuesday, February 1, when they sliced a 83-53 win off the hide of the less - fortunate King 's College J. V. team. Needless to say, the thirtypoint difference in the scores came as the result of an attack which the King 's men found j ust a little too exhausting to check. The get-up-and-go attitude fairly ran the trunks off the visi t or s, to say the least. Never once slipping back into the trailing position , the Bloomsburg Jayvees kept well ahead of the dangermargin throughout the game. They lopped off a ten-point lead at the end of the firs t quarter, held their ground in the second, and then gluttonized themselves with a twenty-nine pointgarnering splurge in the third. A fast break and an unorthodox man - for - man pre.ssure, the J u nior Bow-wows sledded themselves easily through a game which fairly thrilled the first comers for the night's schedule. Al DeGatis, typified the whole t eam, particularly in the third period, by finishing up as high scorer for the game with 22 notches on the score sheet. Dick Ledyard and Stan Levan held their own with 15 and 14 points respectively. For the opposers, McEn u re ran away with the honors when he built up a sizable 19-point score. This, plus the fact that he played an outstandingly good game, made him easily one of the best players in the whole setup.
