ELECTIO NS MARCH 24 Fifteen New Models To Appear in Annual Fashion Show April 29 The annual Fashion Show will be held this year Friday evening, April 29, at eight o'clock , in Carver Hall Auditorium. Twenty models are being selected, and will be trained during the next month. The Fashion Coordinator is Nancy Wesenyak , and Chairman of Store Coordinators is Betty Ridall. Because a number of last year's models have been graduated or left school for various other reasons, fifteen new models have been chosen on the basis of appearance, personality, poise, size, and color of hair. Short hair-do's will be an outstanding factor in the j udging. The setting this year is planned as a living room, and the activities will center around the daily life of a family. An outstanding feature of last year 's show was a wool wedding party f urnished by the International Wool Secretariat of New York and London. Mr, Henrie announced that this year 's feature will be j ust as outstanding, if not more spectacular , but because the details are not yet worked out , the event is being saved as a surprise. To add to the variety, small children will be used in the show again this year. Health Institute Held In Science Hall A School Health Institute held in Science Hall, March 9, discussed health problems of Columbia and Montour counties, and was attended by doctors, dentists , nurses, school officials , and representatives from all organizations interested in child health. The conference was j ointly sponsored by the Berwick borough , and the Montour and Columbia County schools. State Health Department officials were present to outline procedures to be followed in executing the school health program ,as provided by acts passed recently by the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The requirements were set forth for employment of school nurses, the establishment of Advisory Health Councils, and for medical aid for the needy. Hal Rodman, Ex-Holl ywo o d Make-Up Man, Demonstrates Methods in March 8 Program Attending the first annual Eastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Theatre Conference held at Wilkes College, March 12 and 13, were : Faculty member Miss Alice Johnson , and students Audrey Terrel , Charles Schiefer, Robert Sickinger, and Max Kaplan . The conference was sponsored by the Cue 'N' Curtain Club of Wilkes College. Its purpose was to discuss the establishment of a permanent College Theatre group. The idea of interchanging methods of fostering community interest in off-Broadway theatrical productions was the main point of the confab's discussion. It was generally felt by the attending conferees that most college groups offer the vitality, integrity, and enthusiasm needed to restock and revitalize the American Theatre ; that interdependence of college theatre groups is highly desirable as a tremendous source of encouragement for experimental stage productions, the development of new talent , and the presentation of new plays ; and lastly, that today, when so many gaps in understanding exist between human beings and their relationships with other human beings, is the proper time to lay the foundations of an intercollegiate theatre program that can do much to reduce these fractures and add new blood to the American Theatre. The principal speakers at the conference were Rosamond Gilder , last year's recipient of the Antoinette Perry Award for the outstanding (Continued on page 2) "Portraits in Makeup " provided both amusement and amazement for the college community at the assembly program of March 8. Mr. Hal Rodman , former Hollywood make-up artist, presented a demonstration lecture that was entertaining as well as interesting. Throughout the course of the program, the speaker explained th e various methods as he employed them in creating astonishing changes of countenance upon the student models who participated. Stating that "ladies are very familiar with makeup, while men only come in contact with it occasionally,' Obiter Songstresses Mr. Rodman selected five men from the audience to "assist" him.

This effect was produced through the use of powder, rouge, eyebrow pencil, false moustaches, wigs, and hats that were reminiscent of the period represented. Parrell was topped with a straw hat , Ledyard with a topper, and Mussoline with a bowler. The final portrait was greeted with a mixture of applause and laughter as were the various stages of development thruout the task.

A few words of welcome were added by Dr. Harvey A! Andru ss, President of the college, as he reaffirmed his interest in business education, stating that "the biggest business in the world is business." Continuing, Mr. Henrie stated that Mr. Wheeler, the main speaker of. the evening, had promised to present four autographed copies of his book, "Tested Sentences That Sell," to the four students who made the four best reports of the evening lecture for the college sales class. Mr. Richard Hallisey, head of the Departmen t of Business Education, in introducing the speaker , mentioned the fact that several books by the well-known businessman had been selected to be included in the contents of the famous ; Time Capsule. r Mr. Elmer "Sizzle " Wheeler began * his lecture by asking two questions - ,. of the audience. "What makes people ' buy? " "What makes a friend ?" Thought along those two lines was developed as the super-salesman out- *{ lined his "Five Points of Sizzlemanship." By way of introducing his policy, Mr. Wheeler stressed the fact that simplicity is the essence of good salesmanship, and has been since the time of the Romans. Even today, whether in Sears and Roebuck or on a country farm , simplicity is essen- • -"tial to making a sale. "Sizzleman- _^ . 1 ship " he described as selling better, " selling more, and selling related products to a customer. In his words, "Selling is a trick, but not trickery." ' '. , In his search for the answer to the question , "What makes a person a success?" several answers had been considered and discarded as being inaccurate. Among the items considered were money, education , and climate, but each was put aside as it was found to be not absolutely essential. Revealing what he had discovered to be the partial secret in the matter, the speaker stated, "It isn 't how much you know in life ; it's what you say about it." The firs t ten seconds of any introduction are the most important. In advice to the husband , "If you have an argumen t with the wife at breakfast, don't slam ' . the door when you leave.

Has the petition system recently - instituted by the Community Government Association for the nomination of officers of the C.G.A. proved itself of worth ? Let the result speak for itself: over fifty declinations were heard by t h e assembly last Thursday during the nomination of officers. Has it proved its worth? We think not! In fact , we think that it has proved to be decidedl y un f air in that a certain percentage of those who were nominated were obliged to go out and peddle themselves to their friends in order to secure the required number of signatures on their petition; while, on the other hand * there were those who had nothing to do but sit and enjoy themselves while an eager friend raised their name for nomination . Is this the democrati c proce d ure t h at we h ear so much talk about? Let no one misun derstand— this is not a rebuke to those who declined the proffered nomination —'t hat is his or her privilege to do. Furthermore , one should not be critical of those who did decline because , in all fairness to him or her , it must be remembered that if that particular person had wanted the nomination, he or she would have gone out and circulated a petition. . .._ From the experience obtained from this year ' s n ominatio n s, it would seem that the proper procedure to follow in the future would be to revise our constitution and require every candidate to have a petition completed before he or she could be nominated from the floor, Regardless of the method used, thoug h , one thing is certain.

This pertained only to the members of Mr. Henrie's retail ¦ ' selling class and served as an incentive to the students. The result was that the four people who will receive the autographed books are : Betty Ridall, Michael Bell, Luther Jones, and Charles Lockard.

Talk for ten seconds and listen for ten minutes. Nature made the ears purposely to be open and the mouth to be closed." In concluding this point, Mr. Wheeler recalled several slogans, , "Remember the Maine," "Remember the Alamo," and "Remember Pearl Harbor. " As an example of the worth of the plan he advocated, "Remember Truman. Poor old Harry," was offered for the listeners to recall when things seemed to be going wrong. "Don 't write—telegraph!" stressed the idea that "the first ten words are more important than the next ten thousand." As he indicated the need for an oral shorthand, the "Sizzleman" also st at ed , "Don 't be frank; be friendly , " as an important feature to remember. "Say it with flowers," or, "Syn chronize your sizzle with showmanship. " Either way the point is stated, what you do is as important as what you say. Demonstrations aru important when making a sale. Again, a demonstration will serve to excite the "monkey-see, monkey-do" instinct in a customer. "Back up words with actions and gestures." During the war the salesman , feeling secure in his position , tended to develop what the speaker termed "halitosis mannerisms" of salesmanship. The audience was warned against the development of such habits as the halitosis Just Joving . ? ? ? scratcher , the nose puller, the chin stroker , the finger pointer, and the lapel fixer. Also considered taboo is the adj usting of a customer's attire. Never give a customer a choice between something and nothing. In the words of the Sizzle, "Don 't ask 'if— ask 'which?' " Another application of these tactics was pointed out for the use of the female population. "Ladies, always give your husband a choice between something you want to do and something else you want to do." Still further use of this plan could be made in international and national affairs. Mr. Wheeler expressed a belief that "some real old-fashioned salesmen are needed in Washington "where too many generals are generalizing, too many Congressmen are Congressmaning, and too many Senators are Senatorlalizing—or whatever Senators do." Thus, also, might a salesman be employed as ambassador to Russia, where, after chatting with Joe Stalin about common interests in pipes, the envoy would put the question about the opening of the blockade In the form of a choice of days rather than a blunt "When?" "Watch your bark" came as the final of the five points necessary to sizzle effectively , Concerned with the voice and manner' of speaking, the successful salesman was cautioned to pay attention to "how you say what you say."

Four students of B.S.T.C. have been selected to attend. They are : Carlton Ermish, firs t trombone; Thomas Bowman, baritone horn ; Anna Belle Russell , second fl ute ; and J»hri C. Brown , second clarinet. Students desirous of attending submitted applications listing qualifications, and a committee of collegiate bandmasters made the selections. The band will be composed of 125 musicians from 27 Pennsylvania colleges and universities, an in crease over last year when only 18 schools were represented. The band will be unique in that the guest conductor, Morton Gould, best known for his composition "Pavanne," has requested that one third of the musicians be clarinetists. After eight hours of rehearsal on Thursday and Friday, the band will present a broadcast concert Friday afternoon. The featured concert will be played Saturday evening. An outstanding feature of the Festival is that each year one musician is picked from the entire band for a solo part. Thomas Bowman, of the College, won the position last year.

Additional speakers were Richard Beckhard , administrator of the American National Theatre Academy, and John O'Shaughnessey, director of the stage production of "Command Decision." In summing up, Miss Gilder stated that the theatre is a medium of international understanding. She further stated that we are faced with a crisis in civilization, and that through the theatre we can work toward healing the wounds of the world. The conference resulted in the setting up of an informal College Theatre Association of Eastern Pennsylvania which is divided into three regions : the Northern region, with headquarters at Lycoming College; the Central region, with headquarters at Wilkes College, and the Southern region, with headquarters at Lehigh University/ The purpose of the Association was designed on a three-fold angle, and is as follows: 1. To secure recognition of theatre and radio as a community asset, thereby gaining community support. 2. To establish close cooperation between member colleges. 3. To stimulate interest in theatre and radio, and in new forms and techniques of production and direction. ,— Represented at the conference were twenty-two colleges, seven Little Theatre groups, and thirty-eight high school dramatic clubs of Eastern Pennsylvania.

We're well aware that frnaj or league baseball rates more than a* single column in our paper; therefore, we'll attempt to sa tisfy you Yankee, Phillie, A' s, and Indian fans by equally concentrating on the A.L. and N.L. races—as well as on our local Huskies' future. Once again, the local station, WL.TR, has arranged to carry the home games of the Phillies and the A's direct from Shibe Park. Byrum Saam , who is rapidly becoming' one of the nation 's great sports forecasters, will again handle the play by play from Philadelphia. Before proceeding further , your writer wishes to make a few predictions concerning the final standings of the teams in the senior and junior circuits. Here goes nothing! In the American League, we pick the Cleveland Indians to repeat , and nail the pennant. With the pitching, fielding, and hitting strength Lou Boudreau can claim , the Tribe is a cinch. True, the boys from the Lakefront aren 't getting any younger, but the replace* ments in the infield and outfield are more than capable of holding their own. We like the rest of the American League clubs to finish in this order: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and the hapless Washington Senators. We might comment briefly on our choice for the fourth position. Several of the diehard Phillie fans in Waller Hall can't see Connie Mack's A's finishing out of the cellar. Sorry, boys, but we'll still stick to our choice by picking the Mackmen for the first division. Turning to the National League, we like Stan (the - man ) Musial and his St. Louis Cardinals to nab the flag in a rac e t h at in all prob abili t y will match the American League race of last year for thrills. The experts (who, incidentally, are many times incorrect and highly embarrassed individuals) claim the Red Birds are over the hill as ballplayers go and haven't even an outside chance. Could be? But we look for Enos Slaughter, Marty Marion , Whitey Kurowski, and Howie Pollett to have one more great year—and a flag. Of course, the Donora Flash will be leading the Missourians in their parade for the coveted banner. The also - rans ? Okay, here they are: Brooklyn will nose out the Beantowners from Boston for the second berth ; Pittsburgh In fourth ; New York In fifth; the "pltchless juveniles" from Philadelphia in the sixth spot; the Red Stockings from Cincinnati in seventh ; Charley Grimm and his sad Bruins holding up the rest of the clubs in the basement. Perhaps it would have been advisable to concentrate on our own Huskies and their possibilities for the forthcoming season, and let the predictions up to the experts. However, yours truly, in order to satisfy an old desire, took this opportunity to gaze into the crystal ball. Spick and Span Cleaners Cagers End Season with Even Number of Wins and Losses Last Game Places Husky Basketeers Even with Board by Chris Klinednist The Bloomsburg Husky basketeers closed the current campaign with a seemingly unimpressive record of eight wins .and a like number of defeats. The season was highlighted by high scoring contests with only a few of the close, hair-raising type being played on th e local boards and on our opponents' floors. The record for the season is not indicative of the spirit of the Wish ermen, who on more than one occasion came from behind to win and who scared many an adversary in the closing min utes of a hardfought contest. Road trips proved disastrous as the locals won only two out of eight contests, losing only two on the home boards. Every m an on the Husky squad deserves individual acclaim for his performance. Perhaps the scoring power of Boyer and Andrews, the rebounding of Kreiser and Banull, the aggressiveness of Kashne"r and Bartleson , and the many other qualities of our basketball team can qualify our praises to be directed to these men who spent many an hour in bringing glory to the school. The season opened with Millersville providing the opposition in a thriller that was not decided until the waning minutes of the game. With Dave Linkchorst, sterling young freshman, leading the way with 14 tallies, the Huskies won their first game mainly by controlling both bankboards, courtesy of "Big Ed" Jones. Smokey Andrews took up where he left off last season and played a sparkling defensive game, in addition to contri buting 10 points. With a victory under their belt, the Wishermen entertained Wilkes College in their second game, with a terrific fast break resulting in a 69-37 triumph . The Colonels were never really in the game as Smokey Andrews took scoring honors with 15 markers, followed closely by Dave Linkchorst with 13 counters. Mike Evans brought the reserves into the spotlight with a total of 10 tallies on some fine shots. The first loss of the campaign was suffered as the Husky club lost to the ultimate State Teachers champions , Lock Haven, on the winners' court. Smokey Andrews ' 17 points provided the only brigh t spot in a contest that served only to show the strength of the Havenites. The final score was 55-45. NOTES FROJVf HEBE & THERE , . . The High School Invitation Tourney in all probability will have drawn better than seven thousand fans into spacious Centennial Gym , At this writing more than 3500 paying customers have packed the big gym . . . The Bulldogs of Tony Denby up Berwick way have demonstrated how live little men can play winning basketball. These boys have shown throughout the season a fast break that is truly brutal to stop. They may not win the tournament , but they certainly will run their opponents to death . . . S'long, Sports Fans ! The Huskies continued to hit bad luck as they lost their second of the year at East Stroudsburg to the tune of a 42-34 score. Scoring only nine points ni the firs t half , the Huskies excelled only in the foul-shooting department , caging 12 out of 18. Andrews continued to . be "Mr. Consistent ," t allying 13 times. King 's College dumped the locals at Wilkes-Barre in a near runaway resulting in a 63-47 verdict. Possibly the victims of too much Christmas vacation , the Huskies were behind most of the way. Andrews again led the way with 16 counters. A bright spot of the contest was the return to form of Charley Boyer, who hit for his high for the season up to this game, 13 markers. Revenge might have been sweet for the local cagers as Lock Haven came to Centennial Gym for a return engagement, but the Bald Eagles were primed for the contest and kept the Huskies rolling on their losing spree with a decisive 47 - 39 shellacking. Boyer and Kreiser matched Shaeffer and McDermott for the winners, each tallying 12 points, but the rest of the locals failed to chip in with enough counters to bring a long-awaited victory. Revenge was finally gained at Wilkes-Barre. It was not revenge for the Huskies however, as Wilkes College turned back the Wishermen with a 51-46 decision. Boyer sparked the Huskies with 21 points as the Blooms Huskies with 21 points, as the Bloomsburgers lost the contest at the foul line, sinking only 10 out of 17, while Wilkes made good on 17 out of 25. Phil Sekerch ak , high-scoring Wilkes ace, gave a fine demonstration of onehanded shooting while gathering a total of 20 points. The Huskies broke their losing streak with a well-deserved 68-59 victory over King 's College, thus averaging the early defeat on the loser's court. Boyer again showed last year's form , gathering 21 tallies, assisted by Krei ser , Banull, and Bartleson with 13, 10 an d 10, respectively. The play of the Bloom squad was superb and the fans were delighted to see that good basketball had not left Centennial Gym for long. Murphy, for th e visitors, gave exhibition of set shooting, taking up the slack provided by the holding down of high-scoring McLaughlin. Murphy hit for 19 counters, most of them on set shots. In the most exciting game played on the local boards in the past season , B.S.T.C. lost a tough decision to a powerful • Shippensburg five, 52-50.

By way of shedding some light on the matter, it can be said that this move was made purely in the interest of economy. Despite this reduction in the individual ( quota , the daily allotment is still well within dietary limits. If you allow for the fact that approximately 400 persons eat their evening meal in the college cafeteria, you can readily see how economy can be put into effect without inflicting hardship on anybody. For, when it's all said and done, what is one glass of milk more or less ? Besides, such savings can be. put to good use. By placing a small sum aside each week, >n no time at all we could have enough money to purchase two marble cows to replace the lions along senior walk. The lions could then be moved over to Science Hall, where they would be put to use as visual aid material in teaching the geography of Africa. That is a small but extremely illuminating example of the good that can be effected through economy. Does that clear the matter up for, you ? -ir •P -U H1 «f4* *T" t* «!• 1 * Barks for the 'Wheeler Way' . . . 'Sizzle' Wheeler was a speaker who lived up to his reputation. He turned in a neat job of selling himself to his audience, but there was one article of trade he failed to sell—the "Remember Truman" slogan. Doubtless Mr. Wheeler was not aware of the fact that he was a Samson in the land of the Philistines, for any favorable reference to Harry, surnamed Truman, is strictly anathema in and on the property of the Commonwealth. What's more, the Republicans are no strangers to the sizzle. They started to sizzle back in November and have been going strong ever since. But such pointless comment is neither here nor there, and is inserted merely as casual observation. More immediate to our concern is that fact that 'Sizzle' took psychology out of its traditional academic robes and dressed it in working clothes. In all sincerity, hearing Mr. Wheeler's message was a pleasure and an experience to be long remembered. ***** Spring is Here _. . . , Or at least it will be 'offi ci ally ' here come Monday. Actually, the seasons are reckoned on the campus by the activity of Dr. Kuster, who, for all practical purposes, ushered spring in nearly two weeks ago. When you see Dr. Kuster afield with one of his botany classes for the firs t time in the year, mark it as the day when spring came to B.S.T.C. It is always the day on which the trees surrounding Science Hall are rechristened with strange and forbidding names, which the neophyte botanist is loath to articulate and even more loath to remember. Thus, botanically spring is here and has been for a while ; but astronomically it won't arrive until sometime on Monday. •t l< * Mr. Wilson and Mr. Sterling displaySign over telephone booth in barroom ing occasional symptoms.
