"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.

"President 's Scholarships"
Presented to Ben Burness
And Mary Jane Dorsey

Mary Jane Dorsey, and Ben Burness , students of B.S.T.C, were honored at a regular assembly in Carver
Hall when they were presented with
the first of the "President's Scholarships." In recognition of their qualifi cations , Dr. Harvey A. Andruss,
presid ent of th e College, and also t h e
donor of the awards, presented each
winner with a check for fifty dollars.
The chairman of the Scholarship
Committee, Dr. Kimber (2. Kuster,
presided over the presentation ceremony which was held recently in the
College Auditorium.
The "President's Scholarship," established last year by Dr. Andruss, is
hinged upon the royalty income from
a book written by the College President enti t led "Business Law Cases
and Test s," which was originally published by Prentice-Hall. This accruing
income is the foundation basis for the
scholarship grant which is awarded
to a student of the College who manifests his need and ability during the
first semester of the curriculum year
and for any other reaion is not eligible for the other scholarships offered
by the College or the Alumni Association.

Bill Duncan , I nqu irer
Newspap er man , Tells
Of Per sonal Interviews

"National Trends and. National
Personalities" were discussed by C.
William Duncan, well-known feature
writer of the "Philadelphia Inquirer,"
in an interesting and. entertaining
address delivered before the college
assembly on the morning of February
17. Speaking from a vast background
of experience, for he has interviewed
3900 people during his years in the
newspaper business, Mr. Duncan was
well received by the audience and held
the attention of everyone throughout
the program.
Admitting the failure of his predictions of the outcome of the last presidential elections, the writer j estingly
announced that he is now the secretary of the EPPA (Ex-Political Prophets of America), of which organization Mr. George Gallup is president.
First among the personalities presented in words was "Dizzy " Dean.
This i§ the kind of eeeentrie figure
liked by newspapers because "they
keep things moving." He became the
greatest pitcher of his time, although
credit was given to Mrs. Dean, who,
as his very able business manager,
helped to make him a success.
Also in the field of baseball, the
audience heard of Connie Mack, who,
at 84 years of age, is still managing a
maj or league ball club. The three
reasons for the success of this "grand
old man of baseball" were stated by
Mr. Duncan as follows: (1) he has a
marvelous grasp on baseball, (2) he
found out that courtesy pays off , and
(3) he, Connie Mack , owns 51 percent
of the stock.
Having been assigned to cover Thomas E. Dewey at the Republican Convention, the speaker stated that he
liked the ability of this candidate
very much and thought that he would
have made "an outstanding president." In stating a reason for the
"turning of the tide" in the past election , Mr. Duncan said, "The voter
votes on the personality who catches
his imagination." Summing up briefly
the other Republican candidates, Robert Taf t was described as a man who
never talks "off the record." Harold

In his address, "Opportunities in

stated that the already critical shortage of elementary teachers is becoming increasingly more so. Many of
the teachers now in that field are
teaching only on emergency certificates, which are not issued if a permanently certified teacher is available. A lack of interest in the elementary field is evidenced by the fact
that a few students are studying in

A recent official release from the
College Secondary Education Department stated that its Annual Secondary Education Conference will stress
the theme "Secondary Education for

College Secondary Education Department , said that the conference will be
held on Saturday, March 26. He also
stated that the theme for the conference will closely parallel the new
developments in the field of high
school education as outlined in the

Association.
Since the in-service program of the

A Peace Pro posal

Noetllntr Hall BOX 2(4

....

Responsible leaders throug hout the civilized world are convinced
that there can be no permanent peace or prosperity until ju stice under
law is established throug hout the world. Government b y t he peop le
transcending national soverei gnties and boundaries, capable of making
an d en f orcing univ ersa l ju st laws, is a goal that must be attained before the impending chaos of atomic destruction .
There are huge difficulties to be overcome before this plan can
become a reality. One is to devise the princi ples and mechanics of
such a, government—whether it is to embrace all countries , or b e
adopted by a succession of federations.
A panel of experts and students of government has assembled
and prepared a draft of a world constitution. This draft hopes to
provide the material for concrete discussion of measures by practical
statesmen.
The greatest debate has been to apportion the voting strength
of populations. Small nations fear to be engulfed by la rge ones , highly
civilized populations by backward ones, wh ite races by colored , and
vice versa.
This plan proposed by the panel has an ingenious answer; the
world is divided into nine homogeneous societies or regions—such as
Europe outside Russia , the Russian orbit , the Anglo-Saxons, the Near
East , the Middle East , Africa , India , Asia , and Indonesia.
Each of these would constitute an electoral college. Each college
would elect its representatives by popular vote, one delegate to every
million of population .
Then these colleges would constitute the Federal Convention
which in turn would elect the Council , and which would be the legislative authority for the world , or however many regions were included.
It would also elect the president , or executive. But the members of each
college would vote as individuals and world citizens, not as member of
any group.
This draft , as it now stands, is meant to include all races of people, and can only succeed if it is adopted by all. If this plan is carried
out by these nations and races of peop le, t h e nec essity for a United
Nations will be greatly reduced for this proposal is meant to provide
for many of the contingencies which up to the present time the United
Nations has shown itself to be grossly ineffective.
We mu st support this world government program , for it is only
through such a program that we can have lasting world peace, (g.j.)

Our White Elephant (A Feature Editorial )
Even if you 've never had it called to your attention , you 've undoubtedly speculated about the real purpose of a "homey-looking "
little building that is situated snugly between the maintenance garage
building and the miniature greenhouse on the campus of B.S.T.C.
"Gee, I wonder what that used to be?", and "Gosh , isn 't that a
cute little house?" are the general comments of many passing students.
Even some of the intelligentsia of the senior class at Blooomsburg are
at a loss as to what its purpose is or ever was. Then there are the more
informed who can tell you that this quaint little structure was once
used to isolate students stricken with contagious diseases. There is
truth in this latter statements , although a present investigation would
find the little white house bulging with superfluous equipment.
What is the real story? Here it is briefly.
As was previously mentioned, this building was, at one time , used
to house students on the campus who were inflicted with contagious
diseases , but it was not constructed originally for such a purpose.
Would you like to take a guess as to what the initial motive was?
Well , I'll tell you , because I don 't think you will ever guess correctly.
The building was once the college 's ice house! •
Yep, back in the days when electrical refrigeration was a potential ice cube, this little "doll house " was the storage center for the Normal School's supply of ice. When the Bloomsburg Normal School installed a refrigeration system they eliminated any further need of an
ice house.

Very conveniently, the class of 1915 decided to donate approximately four hundred dollars to help remodel the building , and so a
basement was made of the old ice pit with corresponding ly-heavy
planks laid to funish a floor. Further alterations included partitioning
of the house so that it included four bedrooms , a bath , and a kitchenette.
For many years this little house has stood as an isolation ward ,
but , fortunately, such cases were so rare that little use was made of it
and within the past ten years the building has been used to store just
about everything.
Nevin T. Englehart , superintendent of buildings and grounds at
B.S.T.C , states that the little white house is now badly in need of a
new roof , but it does not require any other repairs at the present time,
Undoubtedly, a little paint here ana there would also help to brighten
the structure's physical features,
Mentioning the current repair-needs of the building might bring
to mind an idea that would be worth following up—namely setting up
of plans to turn this unused edifice into a student union or student
government headquarters,
Such a plan could be facilitated very nicely by a class allocation—
say the class of '49—to help make any necessary repairs and to help
supply what minimum amount of furniture that would be needed to
begin this worthwhile project.
It has long been conceded that the rapidly increasing responsibilities of the student government have necessitated more work—more
work has necessitated more room. Why not think it overl It would not
only give our student government at B.S.T.C. more room to work , but
it would also give a very individual and certainly more attractive place
to meet , besides utilizing available bulding space, (fj )

Miss Hazen Attends Annual Institute
On Reading at Temple University
1
"The Semantic Approach
To Reading" Is Theme of
National Conference

Miss Edna J. Hazen , Director of
Elementary Education , recently attended the Annual Institute on Reading which was held at Temple University from January 31 to February 4.
The theme of the Reading Clinicpr omoted conference was "The Semantic Approach to Reading. "
Over five hundred delegates attended the Ins t it u te , with all sections of
the country being represented. Speaking of th e membership interest , Miss
Hazen commented , that the last five
years have brough t a change in the
interest of members who attend. Formerly, the institute was attended
mainly by administrators and supervisors ; this year, however, teachers of
remedial reading composed the largest group attending. In connection
with this, Miss Hazen further added
that this change in representation is
due to the fact that, in many cities,
one teacher instructs pupils throughout the entire course of remedial
reading. The instructing teacher may
httve a change in the personnel of her
class because as a pupil attains satisfactory achievement, he remains with
his class as a full-time participant ,
while there is a continual influx of
new members into the group. This
encompassing control over students,
which is exercised by these instructing teachers in the direct field of
remedial reading, has made it necessary for the membership ranks of the
Institute to be widened.
Over one hundred of the Institute
faculty, most of whom are specialists
in their particular field , were formerly instructors in the Clinic. These
members took part in daily demonstrations concerning such topics as:
"Improvement of Visual Performance," "How to Teach Phonetics,"
and "Remedial Procedures."
According to Miss Hazen, t here is
much interest being shown among
students concerning a college reading
program for freshmen. Whenever college students are found to be failing
in the general subj ects of the curriculum, their instructors invariably
question the ability to read and study
properly. When tests, such as the
Iowa Silent Reading Test, or the Ohi o
State Psychology Examination , are
administered , it is generally found
that the subj ected student is deficient
in specific reading abilities and skills.
Some colleges encourage the student
to enroll in a non-credit course. This
instruction improves his reading ability, usually with the result that satisfactory adjustment and achievement
in the regular college channel of
work is increased.

On the semantic approach to reading, Miss Hazen forwarded, "We are
all accustomed to the use of the radio
in our homes, but not many teachers
have used the radio in the classroom
to aid reading. Mrs. Ruth Weir Miller, Uni versity of Pennsylvania radio
lect u rer , presented ways in which the
radio is a road to reading, and proved
beyond doubt that 'radio , used with
wisdom and intelligence, can widen
reading horizons. 1 " In conclusion Miss
Hazen pointed out , "It must be the
mission of the school to direct the
listener to worthwhile programs, and
to capitali ze on listening for school
att ainment. Teachers have found that
radio-listening increases demands for
reading materials, and is a strong
in centive for more reading."

of "breaks playing an important role

in 1940, he might have become president. As the story goes, he was set
to leave on a fishing trip; but, being
a strong party man , he decided to
stay and attend the nominating convention. Here he was asked by President Roosevelt to withdraw from the
vice presidential nomination. This request he carried out because of his
great loyalty to the party. Upon his
withdrawal the nomination was given
to Henry Wallace, thereby placing
him in the limelight In the nation 's

sports as his closing figures, Mr. Duncan spoke of Bob Fellor. This young
baseball star has learned a lesson:
"that he must cooperate on one thing

baseball for the Cleveland ball club,

to a very effective close. "In any walk

Last Friday night witnessed the
first of two def ea ts administered the
Huskies by the down-river quintets
when the Millersville Teachers squad
toppled the Huskies by a 46 to 38
count.
After leading for three periods and
holding a five-point lead at threequarter mark , the Huskies fell prey
to a merciless Marauder onslaugh t of
21 points in the final canto. The
Huskies gained only eight pointers
during this last and decisive period.
Smokey Andrews was top man on
the scoring totem pole with 14 notches for the losers, thus topping Millersville's Pecuich who ran up 13. Runnerup for Bloomsburg was Bobby Kashner who collected nine; Charley Boyer followed with seven. Two other
men reached the double digits for
Millersville. They were Korkuch , with
11, and Depol, with 10. Eight of
Depol's 10 counters came in the last

Although many of the prospective
high school basketball league teams
which are slated to participate in the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
Annual High School Invitation Basketball Tournament are j ust getting
into the final throes of competition
play, interest and enthusiasm in the
forthcoming tournament is steadily
rising to a new high. Thirty-five
schools in a six-county area have
already designated willingness to enter the tourney of '49 (the twentysecond in the history of the College) ,
and the officials in charge have found
it necessary to set up a qualification
round in at least one of the tournamen t's three classes of competition.
Speaking in connection with the
progress of the annual College-sponsored jo ust between teen-aged basketball clubs , John A. Hoch, director of
this year's games, said today, "The
response to the more than one hundred inquiries mailed has been most
heartening." However , he also explained that the final plans have not

his committee are still working diligently in order that a full card for
this year's games might be achieved.

week to those schools which had previously indicated interest in competing in the tourney 's Class A an d B
brackets.
Mr, Hoch's list of schools is presented with an Invitation to play in

The Husky Varsity dropped the
second game of its weekend trip last
Saturday evening, losing a hard-played game to the Shippensburg five at
that school, by a 56-52 score.
With the Huskies leading at the
half , McClelland, Shipper sharp-shooting forward, went on a bucket-binge
in the third period, sinking 6 straight
shots from center court to put his
team out front.
After missing another, the same
player s;cored two more in the fourth
frame, in what was one of the outstanding scoring exhibitions of the
season. McClelland counted for 21
points at the finish. Chubb, long
Shipper center covered the backboard
and totalled 15 points in the bargain.
Charley Boyer gathered 15 points
for the losers, the only Husky to go
into the double digits.
With this defeat the Husky court
record went to eight losses and six
wins in fourteen starts.

ANOTHER MEATBALL

Concerning the Faults of Females . . .
Last week the promise was made to list the 17 outstanding faults of
females,, and ever since the lassies on and about the campus have been cleaning and oiling their shotguns. Again, as before, it is to be understood that
this list represents nothing more than the results of a poll conducted elsewhere. We have considered a campus poll, but such a venture could lead to
unpleasant results. At any rate here's your list. You may try it for size, but
you don't have to buy it. Here we go, so hang on to your hat. Women are
too: (1) Extravangant, (2) Mercenary, (3) Sensitive, (4) Gossipy, (5) Jealous, (6) Ambitious Socially, (7) Emotional, (8) Intemperate in their Smoking and Drinking, (9) Artificial, (10) Deceitful, (11) Impractical , (12) Nagging, (13) Possessive, (14) Catty, (15) Rude, (16) Selfish , and (17) Clothes
Conscious. However, it isn 't quite as bad as it may seem, for the experts
have decided that the average woman has no more than five of these faults.
You lads could use these numbers to set up a code system for evaluating
females. For instance, an evening spent with a 7-13-17 might not be bad at
all.
? ? * * *

Hear Dem Bells . . .
And if you can, your hearing is exceptional. The warning bell system
is becoming feeble with the infirmities of advanced years. Legend has it that
the present bell and clock system was installed in 1839. Experienced clock
watchers claim they are getting bad nerves from listening for bells that
never ring. Subtle means of informing instructors that the period is over
have been devised, but they don't always work. On a number of occasions,
students have sat with their coats on through an extra five or ten minutes
of lecture. It seems that it might be a good idea to equip each lecture room
with a horn similar to the one on the Scoreboard in Centennial Gymnasium.
That way we could all get a jumping start for the next class.

*****
A Quick Look at the Crystal Ball . . .
B.S.T.C. might have its first post-war interfrat ball sometime between
now and the.end of May. The Interfraternity Council will meet sometime in
the next few weeks for a confab on the matter. But the crystal ball says no
frat ball this year. . . The coming C.G.A. election will be a disappointment
compared to last year's knock 'em-down and drag 'em-out affair. There are
not enough dark horse candidates in the political stable. . . The current curricular crack-down will cut a wide swath in the ranks of the probationers.
It might dim the Husky football outlook for '49. . . Obiter sales will break
all existing records. Three hundred copies are already in the bag, and the
market should be good for another hundred.
* * * * *

It's a Woman's World . . .
So now the BSTCo-eds have themselves believing that they were the
mes who got the male dormitory denizens into coats and ties J'or dinner.
Phey are like the fly who was riding on the axle of a chariot , shouting, as
the chariot raced along, "Lo! What great clouds of dust I raise!" They
have had as many violations of the 'full-dress' regulation as the men; and if
it weren't for the screening process at the dining hall door, you vould see a
pair of bobby sox. and saddles for every T-shirt. Besides , if they had their
own way, the men would be wearing spats and frock coats to their eight
o'clock classes. Nope, even though it is a woman's world, we j ust can 't give
the dormitory lassies credit for that piece of legislation.

*****
Three Hams and a Hammond . . .
Tuesday morning's assembly program sent us scurrying posthaste for a
quick look at Webster , to find out what a hussar really is. There we learned
that a hussar should normally be a brilliantly uniformed Hungarian cavalryman, and, in former days, a freebooter. Then we saw the point—after considering how our guests had freely booted their repertoire all over the stage.
The one bright spot in the whole program was the personality of Miss Hammond, but even her part of the act was little more than pulchritudinous
pastrami. The program committee has been doing a bang-up job, and they
can hardly be blamed for occasionally getting 'Hissers' confused with Hussars. So from the Doghouse box in the Carver Hall Op'ry House comes a
feeble woof for the White Hussars — they did their best, and that's the most
that can ever be expected of anyone.

This is the story of another meatball named Josephine. Josephine was
no ordinary meatball; she was different. Other meatballs dreamed of getting married and raising little bits of
chopped meat. Not Josephine. Other
meatballs dreamed of hob-nobbing
with the big cheeses. Not Josephine.
Josephine was an intellectual.
The way she figured was that from
time immemorial, meatballs have
been slaves to the carnivorous appetittes of unmitagated meat-eaj :ers.
Pu bli c opinion had asserted that the
meatballs place was in a dish of spaghetti. The average meatball had always accepted this subjection with a
grain of cheese, but Josephine was a
non-conformist. Thus she was not
only a meatb a ll , but also an eightball.
This made her a meightball .
Ever since she was a little meathead, Josephine dreamed of growing
up to be something like an airplane
propeller, or a diesel engine, or even
an atomic bomb. But first and foremost, Josephine wanted to be (Yes,
you've guessed it) a saxophone. You
see, Josephine had music in her sauce.
Deep down under, she was musically
ingrind. She loved to listen to the
butcher-shop quartette harmonize on
soup like "Meatballs for Two," "The
Meatball Blues," and "Meat M e in
St. Louis, Meat-head," bu t from t h e
start she had a premonition that her
aspiring ambition was doomed to failure.
Josephine tried hard to climb the
ladder of success, but she found that
the odds were against her. In the first
place , she was none-onion, and Petrillo had decided that meatballs and onions don 't mix. The other meatballs
laughed at her. Franco-American boycotted her. She was termed "radical. "
After bouncing around the SpaghettiCircuit for a number of years, Josephin e ended up a disillusioned, di sappointed, melancholy meatball. She
took to drink. One night she really
got sauced and collided with a flyingsaucer. This was her finish. As she inclined on her axis for the last time,
Josephine was heard to mutter, "All
my life I have been a meatball. Now,
if God w ills , I will become a saxophone."
Thus ends the story of another
meatball named Josephine. She was a
good meatball, but she was years
ahead of her grind. I like to think of
Josephine as somewhere in meatball
heaven, not a meatball any longer,
but a saxophone with a good, meaty
tone.
Here's to Josephine, the musical
meatball.

Job Competition Rise
( Continued from page 1)

"as closely related as possible to their
interests and capacities."
Those who plan to go into office
occupations, the report continued ,
should "consider specific training in
this field , as many employers prefer
workers with well-rounded business
school or college business administration training to those with college degrees in liberal arts."
A veteran seeking advisement and
guidance f rom VA "should be made
aware of the competition which he is
likely to meet in many fields," the
report said. "He will be well-advised
to consider more of the less-crowded

him to qualify for more than one type
