A study of 1,790 of the 1.813 graduates of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, from the years 1931 to
1948, shows that ,93% have been employed — 81% as teachers and 12%
in other occupations. These figures
were released by President Harvey A.
Andruss, and ,, are based on a study
previously made by Mr. Ear] N.
Rhodes , Director of Placemen t Service, and hi s successor Mr. Joseph R.
Bailer , now Professor of English in
the A m e r i c a n University, Cairo ,

The eighteen-year period is divided
into three studies, as follows: TenYear Survey, 1931 1940; Five - Year
Survey, 1941 - 1945; Three - Year Survey, 1946 - 1948.
During this period , salaries of
graduates teaching have increased
from $1,303 in 1941, to $1,876 in 1945,
and to a present salary average of
$2 ,378 in 1948.
While secondary and business teachers earned $200 more than elementary teachers, on th e average, in 1941,
and $150 more in 1945, sal a ries are
practically the same for all secondary, business, and elementary graduates in 1948,
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
graduates are not going to other
States to teach in as large a number
as in former years. During the war
years from 1941 to 1945, 25% of the
secondary and business graduates
either taught outside of Pennsylvania, while less than 5% of the elementary graduates went outside the borders of the State.
With the attractiveness of salaries,
12% of the elementary graduates in
the last three years have gone outside
Pennsylvania to teach , whil e 23% of
the secondary graduates have taugh t
elsewhere, and an additional 8% are
employed outside Pennsylvania; 70%
of the business graduates are now
teaching in Pennsylvania schools; 8%
are teaching elsewhere, and 15% have
other employment than teaching in
Pennsylvania.
Another important trend is noted
in addition to the effect of the single
salary schedule on graduates in different curriculums, i.e., the salary
paid men and women teachers had a
difference of $200 in 1945 in the
secondary and business curriculums.
This has gone to $300 in the secondary curriculum in 1948. However, the
number of cases are not large enough
in the elementary curriculum to justify a statement to consider it a trend.
Based on the comparisons made in
1940, it is evident that more Bloomsburg graduates are being employed at
higher salaries than ever before. The
single salary schedule is causing
school boards to pay about the same
salary to all teachers, regardless of
whether they teach in the elementary
or secondary school. There are still
differences existing between salaries
paid men teachers and salaries paid
women teachers.
Elementary graduates sent tho college more complete information , have
a greater number of years of experience, and stayed in Pennsylvania to
teach or work in larger numbers than
did secondary and business graduates.
These trends will be used in counseling students in the choice of curriculum at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, and will be given wider
publicity t h r o u g h the educational
jo urnals to encourage other colleges
to carry on similar studies so that
comparisons may be made to determine whether the trend existing at
the Bloomsburg State Teachers College is common at all other colleges,
or peculiar to this one institution,

The weekly "College Hour " progr am was broadcast on Monday, February 7, from the Carver Hall Auditorium , through the facilities of the
Bloomsburg radio station , WCNR.
The first portion of the program
was devoted to a patriotically-minded
presentation which was rendered by
the third grade students of the Benj amin Franklin Training School. Under the direction of Miss Marcella
St ickler , the students offered a highly
individualistic musical program which
was in keeping with the observance,
this month , of the birthdays of George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
The second half of the program
was devoted to the duo-piano selections of Ruth Von Bergen, a senior
who is now doing her student teaching in the third grade of the Benj amin Franklin Training School , and
Dick Wagner, a j unior. Their selections were: "Night and Day," by Cole

The news of tho selection reached
Bloomsburg on Sunday, February 6,

Representatives of the Ralph C.
Coxhead Corporation , of Philad elphia,
gave an interesting demonstration of
the Vari-Typer machine to members
of the Business Education Club, the
faculty, and a group of Bloomsburg
High School students, in the Navy
Hall Auditorium, February 3.
After a short business meeting in
charge of President Wilmer Nester,
Messrs. Raub , Mosko , and Sauer, of
the Philadelphia firm , began a demonstration of th e possibilities and uses
of the Vari-Typer. This machine was
patented before World War I, but the
patent has changed hands through
the years until in 1932, when it came
under the present management.
One of the interesting features of
the machine is the fact that it has an
automatic spreader to space out characters to make even right and left
margins. Another device, a half back
spacer, is efficient in centering lines
of type under one another. The keyboard is the same as a standard typewriter, but the machine will print
from 10 to 16 characters to an inch
horizontally, and has 13 different vertical spacings. The Vari-Typer is
equipped with four different pressures
for cutting stencils and ditto-masters,
and light may be shown through the
stencil to make detection of errors
easy. According to Mr. Raub, "the
Vari-Typer is to the business office
what the casting machine is to the
printer. "
The audience was allowed to examine the machine and examples of
its work.

Mr. Redman was Initiated into the
fraternity during his undergraduate
days at Swarthmore College. He
graduated from that institution in
1930.
The mentor began coaching at the
Sayre (Pa.) High School, where he
produced four loop championship
teams in six years. Moving to Binghamton , N.Y., he coached the North
Senior High School there until 1942.
After serving as an administrative
officer in the Navy for four years
during World War II, he j oined the
faculty of the Triple Cities College
for the 1947 term, where he directed
the entire athletic program , consisting of four sports.
Mr. Redman began teaching at
BSTC In the Summer of 1947, and
took over coaching duties In the Fall
of the same year.
Bill Glassford , successful coach at
New Hampshire University, won the
same award last year.

Invitations Go to 100
Schools; Mileage To Be
Paid to Two-Trip Teams
The College has recently sent invitations for the Twenty-second Annual High School Invitation Basketball Tournament to more than a hundred high schools in four P.I.A.A. districts. The tournament will be held
in the Centennial * Gymnasium on
March 9, IT, 12, 17, 18, and 19. Interest in this year's tourney is running
high , and even though most high
school cage leagues have only begun
the second half of loop play, a number of outstanding clubs have indicated willingness to participate in this
year's games.
The 1949 tournament has been
moved to a later date than usual this •»
year because many of the schoolboy
leagues do not wind up their competition playing until the first week
in March.
In order that some sort of financial
aid can be given to teams who will
make a second or third trip to
B.S.T.C.'s gym floor , school s winning
places in the semi-final round (for
their second trip) will be given twenty-five cents per mile toward traveling expenses, with a minimum, guarantee of ten dollars. For contestants
in the final round, forty cents per
mile will be paid, with a guaranteed
minimum of fifteen dollars. No guarantees will be paid for opening-round
games, or for teams which draw byes
into the semi-final. The amount each
team is to receive will be determined
in advance and will be stated in the
team's invitation.
The final selection of teams will be
made on the basis of seasonal record,
fan interest, calibre of play, and general all-around desirability. Classes
are based on the size of the school,
unless a coach wishes to enter his
team in a higher bracket.
Since the tournament is a P.I.A.A.sanctioned affair, only veteran officials will handle the games. E. E.
Wicht , State Secretary of the Asso- '
ciation , will approve the officials.

The Legend of Honest Abe

Today, we ob serve t he on e h un dred an d f ortiet h anniversary of
the birth of one of the best known , and most beloved of America 's
people, Abraham Lincoln. Born of humble means in 1809, Abe Lincoln
rose to the pinnacle of success by becoming our sixteenth president of
the United States.
What was it about Abraham Lincoln that endeared him to the
h earts of generations of Americans? From a hundred people, you
could probabl y get a hundred different answers to that question — a
hundred sincere and laudatory replies.
His persistence in gaining an education for himself despite adverse
circumstances, his sincerity and honesty in all endeavors, his understanding of the trials and tribulations of others; yes, these are but a
few of the praiseworthy characteristics of Abraham Lincoln.
Abe Lincoln was a man to whom all the people could look forward
for guidance and understanding for they knew of the humbleness with
which he looked upon himself and his achievements — never superior ,
but forever proud of his being born of their own common stock.
His steady hand upon the "ship of state" wa s grati fying to millions of A mericans d uring t he try ing days of the Civil War years.
Abraham Lincoln 's influence upon the policies of America today can
be observed from that great, ^declaration , the Emancipation Proclamation.

What If It Were You . . . ?
Do you have T.B.? If I should ask you that question , you could
tell me the answer immediately. Do you know that there are students
in some countries who could not answer that question? Why? Because
there isn 't enough money to buy the film for X-ray machines.
We often complain because we must study. Just be glad you have
the books with which to study.
Something must be done about these neig hbors of ours. Why do
I call them neighbors? Because they are students of our own , age.
They have trials and temptations , just as we have , but the grea t difference is that our trials are like droplets of water compared to their
oceans of difficulties.
If all the organizations on the campus went together and sponsored a fun nig ht , a.swimming meet, or anything that would draw a
group of students, I' m sure we, the students of B.S.T.C. could send
our share abroad to help the less fortunate. Wouldn 't you be willing
to pay a quarter for a night of fun when you know that it 's the least
you can do for the students of other lands?
Count how much money you spend in one week on cigarettes,
drinks , and snacks — not mentioning the movies and dances. Couldn 't
you sacrifice a small portion of your so-called "necessities " for one
week?
Think it over! Give to the World Student Service Fund! And
remember, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. "

On Homewo rk
by Max Kaplan

Homework is something that you,
as a college student , are required to
do.
But as the evening wears on, there
are so many things that come between what is required and what is
desired , that before you know where
it went, the evening is gone, and
homework is something that you just
h aven 't gotten around to.
So what happens ? So you go to
class the next morning without your
homework; and if you 're lucky, the
i nst ructor doesn 't call for it, but gives
a lecture on the love life of a giraffe ;
and you laugh . But this is unusual;
and, if as usual, your luck runs its
regular course, the teacher puts a red
mark after your name, and you
squirm in shame, That' s what happens,
Then pretty soon the class is over
and you discover that you have another assignment. The day wears on,
hot and heavy, with the roar of studious ej aculations and the flame of

knowledge leaping from the eyes of
enthusiastic scholars. At last, you
emerge from the holocaust, battlescarred but happy, knowing that another day is through and that you
will have some time to relax and recuperate. Then you come to the sudden realization that you have eight
hours on "your hands with nothing to
do but eight hoursful of homework.
By this time you are so disgusted
that you figure on going out and getting slightly imbued as a preliminary
to getting stewed. So you end up by
blowing your top and maybe slugging
a cop; and as you reflect on your
actions in the clink, you think that
perhaps it would have been better if
you would have stayed in your room
and done that damned homework,

LAFFTIME
Though Brandon was a bachelor,
he always took his housekeeper along
when he went to camp for his vacation. Starting for his trip, he stood
in the depot awaiting his scheduled
train. Along came his friend, Ralph,
who noticed the housekeeper along,
"Where you going, Brandon?" "On

How many hours have I spent in this
room?
How many precious waves of time
have flitte d by
While I have sat and thought of many
things ?
The ticking of the clock, th e ringing
cf the bells
Can still be heard above the .symphony of passing cars
And twittering birds, to let me know
That time is on its way. Here have I
fought
A duel with time; here have I met
the time 's challenge ;
And here I have been vanquished by
Its relenting, never ending rhythmic
purge.
Here have I known the blissful
thoughts of sweet content;
Then hours filled with such discouragement
That only sleep's oblivion could give
me respite.
But I have learned; and as I leave
my temporary den,
I say goodbye to more than walls,
and desk , and bed;
I bid farewell to this—part of my life,
And take with me the knowledge
therein gained
To serve me in its stead.

The Dormitory Women 's
Answer
Last Saturday, there appeared in the Ma roon and Gold, an
"O pen Letter to Dormitory
Women," accusing the women
of cutting into the chow line.
This letter, signed by "A Committee of Dormitory Men ," was
flattering to the women, since
it told them, in no uncertain
p hrases, that they are group of
bold, unmannerl y, unethical,
and unfriendly females.
Since the men of the College
have broug ht up the subject,
the women feel that this is their
opportunit y to reveal their opin ions on the matter. No doubt
all of us who eat in the college
dining room have noticed the
group of ten or twelve men who
very boldly walk in the side
door of the dining room and
push their way to the tray table.
It 's just too bad for anyone who
happens to be in their way. This
is no reflection on some of the
football squad, although we do
feel that these fellows are the
ones that started the cutting in
fro m the side door.
The women of the College
were under the impression that
tHe men of the College were
quite grown - up , strong males.
We had no idea that they are
a group of undernourished children. The women read ily admit that most of us , at one time
or another, are guilty of the
accusation. But, to sum it all
up in a f e w words, and as the
old proverb goes, "Peop le in
glass houses should not thro w
stonesl " Perhaps "women are
the foundatio n of good manners, " but any foundation will
crumble if too heavq a load is
placed on top of it. The women
suggest that the dormitory men
do some revising of their own
"code of ethics and social con"
duct."
At least 1,500,000 are deprived of a
full year of schooling or are suffering
impaired educational opportunities as
a direct result of the teacher shortage. Possibly an additional 500,000
have less than full-time schooling because of the building shortage.
my vacation to camp, Ralph." "And
your housekeeper—is she going along
also?" "Certainly, Ralph. " "I know
she's your housekeeper, Brandon , but
why take such a homely dame along?"
'•Well , you see, her ugliness decides
how long my vacation should last, As
soon as she begins to look beautiful to
me, I leave."

Wishernfren Gain 53*52 Victory Over
Mansfield in Hotly-Contested Battle
Huskies Win Despite
Dangerous Mountaineer
Rally in Last Period
For the second time in three years,
the Mansfield State Teachers basketball team has been beaten on their
own floor , this time with the Huskies
doing the deed in a hard-won 53-52
battle on February 3.
Although they led nearly the whole
game, the Canines saw their margin
dwindle in the closing minutes , but
stood fast long enough to squeeze by.
Both teams grabbed off 18 field
goals, but the Huskies, in a superlative performance at the foul stripe ,
sank 17 out of 22 tries, with Smokey
Andrews counting for six in six.
An error in strategy may have sent
the Mansfielders to the showers defeated , when with 30 seconds remaining and a 53-51 score, Senko drew a
foul while trying for a goal. He made
the first shot, and elected to take the
ball out of bounds. Mansfield failed to
score in the time left.
Charley Boyer was still- hot on the
rim, leading the scoring with 18. Elmer Kreiser accounted for a dozen , and
Bob Kashner followed with 11.
Patton , an expert on one handers
from outside the Husky zone, ran up
15 points for the losers, and Perschau
collected 11.
This was the fourth win in ten
games for the Huskies, who will try
to make it five when they meet the
Warriors from Williamsport's Lycoming College.

is a worthy one (Bloomsburg 's Youth

support. The price ?—sixty-five cents
will do the trick. By the way, they
tell us it's quite amusing when this

opposition off the banking boards like

A surpris e spectator (and rootin '
harder than ever) at the recent Shippensburg game was Millard Ludwig,
the finest sports writer any school
ever had. Those of you who remember
Millard will recall withou t difficulty
the many splendid contribution s the
little guy made to this institution. All
he did was head the sports staff of
the "Maroon and Gold" for four

years, play four years of varsity soccer , write the majority of the "O biter 's" sports section, and plug every
Husky athletic team that ever took
to the court or field. Millard is teaching and coaching at his native Millvllle High School now, and is extremely happy that he can take in
just as many of our athletic contests
as his spare time will permit. What
a student body could do if it possessed
the spirit of Millard Ludwig — Man !
WE SALUTE . . . Big Elm Kreiser,
the Columbia basketeer , whose brilliant defensive play, plus his rapidly
improving offensive game, has made
him the toast of his teammates . . .
Athletic Director John Hoch , for his
efforts in again promoting the annual
High School Invitational Tournament ,
which promises to be the best in recent years — twenty-two schools already expressing interest in the tournament . . . Nick Kotys, the genial
ex-Eloomsburg High School, ex-Pottsvllle High School mentor, and wellknown to Husky basketball fans as a
better - than - average official , for his
well-deserved promotion to the Yale

who are making a fine showing this

games more and more interesting,

Bobby K ashn er

Stroudsburg Warriors
Seek Second Win Over
Husky Five Tonight
Tonight, in what should prove to be
a rough and tumble battle with no
holds barred, the Wishermen meet
the East Stroudsburg Warriors in
Centennial Gymnasium. The Huskies
are "hot" at the present time , and
are anxious to add another victory to
their scroll at the expense of the
Burgers.
The Warriors already have one victory over the Maroon and Gold, and
they will be gun ning for victory number two. This fact alone is sufficient
to indicate quite a tussle between the
two clubs.
The Warriors have had a fair season thus far. They have provided stiff
opposition for all their opponents, and
have compiled an enviable record as
far as the win-column goes. Partly to
th ank for this record is the sparkling
playing of Pazdo, a versatile guard ,
and "Mo" Thomas, a dead-eye center.
On the other hand , the Huskies
have compiled a less enviable record
by winning four and losing five of
their cage contests played thus far
this season. However, the Huskies
should be in top shape for the East
Stroudsburg contest. Elmer Kreiser
and Walt Banull have shown great
effectiveness under the basket in the
last four games and are expected to
continue to take the rebounds and
pour their sensational tap shots
through the loop. Bobby Kashner and
Charley Boyer are hitting the bucket
from all angles, while "Smokey " Andrews is calmly showering the basket
with his renown set shots. In the past
several games the Huskies have
shown more team spirit than any
other recent cage edition here at
B.S.T.C. Taking all of these facts into
consideration , tonight's contest should
prove to be one of the most interesting games seen so far in Centennial
Gymnasium.

Danny Litwhiler announced last
week that plans for the game between the Valley Shawnees and the
Philadelphia Eagles basketball team,
composed of members from last
year's championship pro football outfit, are almost completed. The game
is scheduled to start at 9:15 P.M.,
February 26, in the Centennial Gymnasium. The Bloomsburg Rotary Club
is the sponsoring organization, and
the proceeds will go to the Bloomsburg Youth Recreation Program.
The Eagles aggregation features
such grid greats as Jack Ferrante
and Pet e Pihos, two of pro football's
best ends. Alex Woj ciechowicz, Fordham gr ad , and now one of the sport's
top cent ers, also leads on the court.End Dick Humbert is the Eagle's
scoring star. Others on the roster are
Bosh Pritchard , Jay McDowell, Larry
Cabrelli , and Bill Mackrides.
Litwhiler's Valley Shawnees, sponsored by C. B. Gray, boast such local
courtmen as Charley and Joe Simpson, Carl Laubach , Pat Flaherty, Jack
Lenhart, and Joe Slusser. Ulshaffer,
of Ringtown, and Bob Metzler are
also late signers with the team.
The admission fee will be sixty-five
cents.

Elmer Wheeler To Talk
At Sales Conferen ce

Featured at the annual Retail Sales
Conference to be held at the College
Tue sday, March 10, will be Elmer
Wheeler, nat ionally-known speaker on
the art of retail selling. Mr. Wheeler
will outline his "Five Famous Wheelerpoints, " to be used in building a
foolproof "Tested Selling Sentence,"
guaranteed to make sales "more accurate and faster."
It was Wheeler who popularized a
well-known drink by using the slogan ,
"Only two Zombies to a customer."
He also changed "safety belts" to
"seat belts" in airplanes, as a less
startling thought.
Among the guests at the Conference will be members of the Bloomsburg Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, and
the Bloomsburg Chamber of Commerce.

The Intramural Basketball season
opened at the Centennial Gym on
Thursday, Februa ry 10, with a recor d
number of teams participating. This
year finds -no less than twenty teams
vying for school honors with over onehundred and fifty men on the rosters.
Keen rivalry seems to - be in store
and plenty of action will be supplied
by teams such as:
Captain

Never before has this-school arrayed auch a group of talent; These
games promise to bring the students
of Bloomsburg S.T.C. some mighty
exhibitions of thrill-packed action.
On hand to stop the single-wing
power plays which the Sons of Italy
have developed", and the slippery tactics of the Scullery squad, are such
capable refere es as Kriss, Schiepe,
Allegrucci, Krensavage, and Lipsky.
To facilitate the operation, of so
many teams, the league has been
broken down into four . five - team
leagues. The winners of each league
will play an elimination series to determine the champion.
The rules and final team rosters
are posted on the Old Gym bulletin
board in Waller Hall. The schedule
of play has also been posted.
As g e n e r a l supervisor of the
leagues, Mr. Redman has insisted
that the rules and regulations be
followed religiously, and that any infractions will result in penalties according to the rule set-up.
The games will get under way at
4 o'clock. The College Community is
invited and urged to turn out and
support its favorites. Without doubt ,
this will be the prize attraction of the
year in .intramural sports.
The bulletin board in the Old Gym
will carry the results of the games
played and the standing of the teams
in the various leagues.

Of Mice and Women . . .
In recent weeks the females ' side of Waller Hall has reeled back under
a succession of invasions from the animal world. First was old B.O. Plenty
him self , the black, white-striped critter who decided to get a skunk's-eye
view of college life ; then followed the mouse who strolled nonchalantly into
room. 425 and sent Ruth Finklestein to the top of her dresser in one heroic
leap. Meanwhile, Lois Pu lver, m ore widely k n own as 'Miss Hypnosis of 1948, '
was anything but hypnotized as she did an Apache war dance and shattered
the nocturnal stillness with high-pitched supplications for help. Fortunately,
help arrived before the beast was able to harm either of the girls, and in
short order the roving rodent was captured in a waste-basket. It should be
arranged for each of the dormitory girls to have a chair and a blank gun ,
then they could stave off these wild animals, "a la Keller."

Rock-a-Bye B.S.T.C. . . .
A number of B.S.T.C.-ites were asked the question: "Do you ever sleep
in class ?" Two confessed that they were habitual offenders, t wo more went
on record as occasional offenders, and the remainder were of the "I - get sleepy - sometimes" type or else refused to talk because they were afraid
they would b§ .quoted. Mast agreed , however, that the class immediately
following lunch was the least conducive to wakefulness. Most also agreed
that it depended on the nature of the class and the amount of sleep they had
the night before. Among lecture room hobbies were listed such diversions as
studying for the next class, reading comic books, daydreaming, watching the
clock, doodling, and doing work to be turned in at the end of the class.
Ne ver th eless, if you are a sleeper, a doodler, or even a follower of Superman,
don 't let it worry you too much. Einstein admits having been an incurable
daydreamer, and Gray, the celebrated English anatomist, flunked several
undergraduate anatomy courses because he couldn't keep awake during
lectures.

Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes . . .
Young fellow, next time you are out sipping a soda with Daisy June,
take a good look at her eyes, for it has been said that a woman 's eyes will
tell you more than a thousand books. A woman's eyes, in other words, are
usually a dead give-away to her true nature. If they are limpid pools, warm
and misty, cleave unto her even though her predilection for sodas sends you
to the poorhouse. If they are cold and calculating, you'll end up in the poorhouse anyhow , and not have half as much fun getting there. At any rate, try
to figure out her 'Eye Q'. But be subtle about it , or else she might get the
impression that you are cracking up.

A Business Proposition . . .
Some enterprising student could make a fortune by gathering up empty
soda bottles and returning them to the canteen. There's hardly a dormitory
room which isn't at present harboring a dozen of them. Of course, in the
absence of drinking fountains and the scarcity of goatskin water-bags, it's
always nice to have a few bottles around for use as 'aitch-two-oh' containers.
Rudyard Kipling must have been living in Waller Hall when he wrote his
immortal "Gunga Din. " For where else could one become so intimately
acquainted with the torment of thirst ? But getting back to the bottles
again , perhaps we could contribute our bottle deposits toward a 'Fountain
Fund 1. Either that or else buy sand and cactus plants, and thirst in style.

square dance. Come Friday, drop in and j oin the gang in some real rustic
recreation . . . A coupl e of local politicians broke out in a heat rash over the
action of the "Committee of Dormitory Men." Looks as if the boys down at
'City Hall' were caught napping . . . The release of the grades piled the
campus citizenry ten deep at the waillng-wall. Another one like that and
we'll all bo taking "A Slow Boat to China" . . . Someone has suggested that

The derivation of Valentine 's Day
is somewhat unusual. The strangest
fact about this holiday 's nativity is
that Saint Valentine , its patron , had
almost nothing to do with its origin.
Centuries ag'o the ancient Romans,
in honor of the gods Juno and Pan ,
established a holiday on the fifteenth
day of February. In these early days
dangerous w o l v e s were prevalent
about Rome ; anyone who was able to
kill the destructive animals was held
in high esteem. Consequently , the
holiday was known as "Lupercalia "
in honor of Lupercus, the wolf destroy er. During the festival the young
men placed the names of young ladies
in a box. Next , each gentleman was
given an opportunity to draw a name
from the box . . . the name of the
maiden who would be his companion
for the holiday.
Hundreds of years later, Christianity was introduced but the pagan
practices still existed. The Church
approved the customs but disapproved the heathen name in which they
were celebrated. As a result , the
Christian church sought to substitute
a new title for the holiday.
On February 14 in about the year
270 A.D. Saint Valentine, a Roman
priest, had been beheaded during the
Christian persecution. The martyr
was executed on Palestine Hill, the
site of the altar to Pan.
In memory of the beloved saint ,
Pope Galasius of Rome, in the year
496 A.D., set aside the fourteenth day
of February as Valentine's Day. As a
result, the ancient customs that had
been a part of the Lupercalia now
became associated with the Christian
feast.

A Few Facts
About N.S.A.
The United States National Student Association was founded in 1946
as a non-political, non-sectarian representative intercollegiate organization to serve the needs of students of
the United States, and to promot e
their interests and welfare.
During the summer of 1948 it conducted a student tour of England ,
France and the Netherlands , and is
now engaged in finding housing, parttime j obs, and scholarships or tuitionwaivers for DP students.
It operates the nation-wide Purchase Card System which provides
discounts for students , administers
campus human relations clinics, promotes and aids student government ,
and is conducting the national student art tour and other cultural activities such as symphony forums.
The association is a non-profit organization. It has a seat on the U.S.
Commission for UNESCO , is an associate member of the Department
of Higher Education of the National
Education Association , and is a sponsoring organization of World Student
Service Fund.
Some of the association 's publications include the "NSA News" (a
monthly intercollegiate newspaper),
"Student Leadership and Government
in Higher Education ," "Study, Travel,
Work — Abroad," "Planning a Job
Opportunities Conference," a semiyearly "Program and Report," and
"Group Leadership."
NSA is composed of the student
bodies ( 900,000 students) in 265 colleges and universities. The officers
are elected for one year by the annual
Congress, and take up full-time duties
at the national office in Madison , Wisconsin. The international affairs vicepresident has his office in Cambridge,

GUILTY , YOUR HONOR! Peeping

from behind penitent paws, I must
confess th at your Kitten was one of
those guilty females who received a
vigoi'ous tongue lashing by "the men 's
committee" in last week's issue for
using the infamous "friend-in-thechowline " system. Humbly I seek
your pardon and beg admittance back
into "purr-lite " society. Being naturally "catty, " I c an 't resist mentioning
the trouble we had last year in helping the fellows to differentiate between the chowline and the football
field. As for "my sin " — quoth the
Kitten — "Nevermore!"
A SENSE OF HUMOR TOO! Mrs.
Zarina Kukde, the young Methodist
missionary from Indi a, when asked,
"Do they have j ukeboxes in India ?,"
replied , in her slight but charming
accent , "No , thank goodness. We are
still waiting for them to invent the
kind where you can insert five cents
for five min utes of silence!"

his test-awaiting World Lit. class, Mr.
Wilson glanced at the board where
some pranksters had written : "Gi ve

suffice." Came a twinkle in the eye,
and Mr. W. quipped , "Well, what are
you waiting for? There's the first

THREE RING CIRCUS. Last Wednesday the dorm girls held an elaborate hen party which was spread out
over three floors. Refreshments were
served on the second floor by a committee headed by Fran Cerchiaro.
A toy Pet Show and contest was in

direction of Eloise Simons, while Saya
Silverman acted as chairman of a
program of entertainment on the
fourth floor. Grace Smith was general chairman of the whole affair.
The girls and their committees did a

HITCH THOSE PONIES ! A committee of students was chosen by
secret ballot in Dr. Kehr's Ethics
class for the purpose of compiling a
composition on the theme "Cheating

will be circulated on campus at a
later date.
