"Secondary Ed. for Today "
Them-e of Conference with
Speakers from Columbia and
Michigan Universities
In organizing a curriculum , all
must realize the different ways for
individual students to learn things ;
that the project is hard work, and
th at st u d ent s should work with
teachers in the program, Dr. Ralph
R. Fields, executive officer , Division
^
of Curriculum
and Instruction , Teachers College, Columbia University,
told a hundred and fifty educators
from the seven-county service area
of the College at a conference held
here Saturday.
In another of the principal addresses, Counselor-trainer S. C. Hulslander , of the Vocational Education Department , University of Michigan,
stated that guidance must go beyond
the school, for to be worth-while, it
must touch every man, wom an , and
child.
The theme of the annual conference was "Secondary Education for
Today." Hary F. Garner, dir ector of
secondary education at the College
organized the meeting,
A series of group discussions followed the general addresses, and representatives of the group made reports at a luncheon in the early afternoon. Dr. Fields gave the summation.
Fields • discussed "Organizing the
Secondary Curri cu lum for Meet ing
Pupil Needs," in which topic he
pointed out that "when you speak
about guidance and curriculum, you
are talking about taking care of the
same thing; it is a cooperative j ob."
The student needs the ability to
read, write, figure, to develop correct
health habits, to learn how to make
a living, and to be a good citizen , he
said.
He pointed out that "youngsters
have a wide variety of interests and
most of us do not realize this." "...
the individual teacher must study
the individual in classrooms to identify the problem at hand. Alertness
to the student's needs and alertness
to what should be done go hand in
hand."
"The greatest thing we need is
faith. Those school systems which
have tried new things do not 'short
change ' youngsters. They give them
more, and in the end, do a better
j ob."
Hulslander talked on "Organizing
Guidance Services to Meet Pupil
Needs," and asked the conferees to

Colorful Cam paigns
Give New Twist to
Old Campus Event

The 1949 C.G.A. election provided
the campus with what was undoubtedly the most spectacular and colorful student political campaign in the
history of the college. For two hectic
weeks the staid, ivy-covered walls of
B. S. T. C. echoed to the clang and
clash of publicity warfare as the
"Battle of the Banners" spread itself
to every part of the campus. Student
interest was noticeably lacking at the
time of the nominations. However,
during the week which preceded the
primary election the various political
camps aligned themselves and mapped out their campaign strategy, and
from then until the last vote was cast
in the final election the titanic battle
was on without abatement. The number and variety of tricks and stunts
which were pulled from the bag of
strategy soon caught the eye of the
student body, and by the time of the
primary election student interest had
soared to an unprecedented high,
Though the greatest part of the
campaigning centered itself on the
office of president , which is always
the most coveted prize, this phase of
the activity far from monopolized the
entire scene. The interests of all the
candidates were well represented by
a profusion of colorful banners and
posters. One of the most outstanding
features of the campaigning was the
absence of party tickets. The sometimes disastrous effects of these alliances had been proved in other years,
and this year, as an added precaution, the campaign managers steered
clear of the customary practice of
running two or more candidates together. As a result of this isolationism there was an unusually large
number of political camps, and the
prime obj ective of the presidential
parties was the wooing and winning
of these small but important blocs of
student support.
The Kamm supporters, headed by
Ed Kreitz, placed their emphasis up( Continued on page 4)

New Holiday?
by Mario Mattls
The custom of playing pranks on
the first day of April is so ancient
that no one is quite certain of its
origin. Records inform us that even
the early Romans practiced the custom, but on a different day. They
called this day the "Feast of Fools."
In Asia, the Hindus celebrated a
festival for several days, concluding
on March 31. Those people who had
pranks played on them were called
"Hull Fools."
From Asia the custom extended to
France, then to England. In England
the j oke victims were known as "April Fish," since it was as easy to deceive some people as it was to catch
a young fish. In Scotland the victims
were named "April Gawks," the word,
gawk , meaning a simpleton,
The first day of April is not a holiday ; nevertheless, the customs of
playing pranks are strongly prevalent everywhere. Perhaps on some

"all shops and banks and schools" for
It will be "the great, the blessed Day
of Fools."

FASHION FLASHES
by Aleki Comuntzis

Here we are again to take a glance
at what is new and right in the fashion world.
Buyers say that there is nothing
too new for Spring. Suits are simple,
plain of line with carefully executed
detail. Let's look and see what more
we can find.
The semi-flared skirt at calf length
with slender j ackets and delicate
necklines are good for the average
figure. However stylish the semiflare d skirt may be, the pencil-slim,
string - bean skirts are the tops in
fashion. How should we top this slick
skirt ? Let's try boleros.
We could use a short box-j acket
with slim sleeves and a narrow Peter
Pan collar. Or, we could use a wingback j acket with either narrow conventional sleeves, or dolman sleeves ,
that are definitely the newest line in
suits.
But hero is the thing about the
bolero. You can buy the bolero in any
price level , in any fabri c, and in any
color. So if you plan to buy a suit
this Spring, stop and think twice beforo purchasing a bolero suit. Why
not put your money into a suit that
you can wear for more than one
season ? You can have your bolero
too, but buy one of a light-wei gh t
wool with an unlined jac ket. Then ,
when you see your twin coming toward you, you won't feel your money
was spent in vain.
Flared skirts are still fashionable,
Here we find variety in combinations,
slim j ackets, box coats, boleros, ful lbacked coats and capolets.
This Spring you'll find something
to suit you. It may not be spectacular, but if it expresses you—it's right,
You never really know how tho
human voice can change until you
hear a woman stop scolding her husband to answer the telephone,

The Husky nine goes into action
for the firs t outing of the 1949 diamond season next Saturday, April 9,
when the team hits the road to take
on the strong Second Army team
from Fort Meade, Maryland. Whether or not the boys from Mt. Olympus
will be able to improve over the 1948
season remains to be seen. Much depends upon the newcomers. Last
year 's team, which captured only
three victories, was entirely too inconsistent. The pitching was spotty,
the hit ting was nothing to write
home about, and the fielding wholly
inadequate to meet the standards of
a good college ball club. With the
addition of several better than average flingers and a few long ball belters , the boys of Coach Bob Redman
should furnish a good account of
themselves.

and discus work look very good.

Speaking of the opening of our local baseball season brings to mind the
outstanding schedule Messrs. Hoch
and Redman have set up for the '49
campaign. Trips such as the one to
Fort Meade, and New York state are
a notable attempt to put the Husky
baseball teams back on a par with
those clubs during the '30's coached
by Dr. Nelson. Frequently our teams
went on Southern trips which took
them to Anapolis to engage the Midshipmen , the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and the University of Delaware at Newark.

The trackmen of Pete Wisher will
not be seen until after the Easter
vacation. It's a bit early to make any
predictions concerning the Maroon
and Gold thinclads. At this writing
the Wishermen haven't settled down
J;o any earnest work. A few outdoor
meetings, however, should furnish us
with some indication of our track
team's strength. It is indeed encouraging to report that Tom Donan , one
of the Huskies' leading point getters
of the '47 season, will again j oin the
Wishermen after a year 's absence.
Teamed with Elmer reiser, these two
boys should furnish the Huskies with
a multitude of strength in the weight
division.

High School Volleyball
Meet To Be Held
Here This Afternoon

Eddie AJIegar, the Bendertown
flash , will be- sorely missed in the
Husky offense and defense this year.
Allegur, who graduated in January,
led the Huskies at bat for the past
several seasons; and his work afi eld
kept an otherwise mediocre infield
substantially balanced. As we pointed
out in a previous column, Eddie will
be playing for pay this season. Erie,
of the Middle Atlantic League (Class
C), has been blessed with Eddie's services. Erie, incidentally, is a New
York Giant farm club.

You Husky baseball fans will have
to be a bit patient, for the first four
encounters on the 14 game schedule
are away tilts. Perhaps this will be
well received by many since it usually takes a few games to iron out the
rough spots—in addition to the fact
that early April baseball weather
around here is atrocious.

About This Fellow Jove . . .
The young lad in the photo inset to
the left is none other than Howard
"Hap" H art zell , the "Jove" who has
been turning out the "Just Joving "
cartoons which have appeared as a
weekly feature in the M&G in recent
months. The Jove cartoons have been
the talk of the campus, and we have
been after "Hap" to come out and
t ake a bow for a long time now, but
it seems that he's a little shy about
meeting his fans. "Ha p's" formula for
cartooning is simply mixing together
the proper proportions of observation ,
inspiration , imagination, and exaggeration. His paunchy football coaches and lantern-jawed athletes show
the influence of these elements working together. "Hap" tells us he started drawing cartoons when he was in
the second grade and has kept right
after it ever since. He studied oil
painting for two years, but always exasperated his instructors by sketching
cartoons on the back of his palette. Eventually, he gave up the idea of
becoming another Rembrandt and decided to become a school-teacher. At
present he is a j unior in the secondary curriculum, and all of us who follow
"Hap's" cartoons each week agree upon the same thing—he is headed places.
Operation 'Milklift' . . .
Some enterprising ex-G.I.'s, who learned all about 'lifts' during the war,
have put their know-how to work, and as a result a 'Milkliff is now in full
scale operation on a cooperative basis. Each day the boys make a milk run
which is timed to provide homogenized liquid nourishment for the evening
meal. Some of the more agricultural-minded are considering the purchase of
a cow, which they claim will do double duty by also serving as a four-legged
lawnmower. This idea, however, has bogged down, since no one can figure
out where Bossy of Bloomsburg will be housed if and when she is purchased.

In Other Places . . .
Since the close of the war the larger colleges and universities have gone
all out in their social research into the lives of college students. Recently,
Yale University research workers started a study of "the drinking habits of
American college students," a survey which they hope will reveal "why
students drink and, if th ey do not , why not." Still another angle on the study
of what makes Joe College tick comes from Tulsa University. The Tulsa
sociology department interviewed 350 student married couples and learned
that less than half of them had married for love. The list included such
motives as companionship and common interests. One studen t coupl e reported that they had married "j ust for the hell of it." Perhaps the most interesting research angle of them all comes from the University of Michigan, where
the students have been invited to grade the faculty. Universal officials have
reported that these student grades were nearly identical with the opinions of
the various departmen t heads. Net result: five faculty members flunked!
* * * * *

Fads and Fashion . . .
The pyramid craze has yet to filter into life on the campus, but the 'cigar
fad' is rapidly gaining ground. At present cigars are just about in first place
on the canteen hit parade. All we need now is to get the 'mustache movement' in motion and revive the straw hat and cane of yesteryear. If we got
all of these working together we could really make B.S.T.C. look like the
Yale of 1910. So far there is no information available as to whether the cigar
fad has found its way into the smokers in the girls' dormitory. The Doghouse
will award five Phillies to the firs t lassie who is seen enjoy ing an after-dinner
seegar in the college lounge.
Here and There . . .
The editorial board of the Maroon and Gold did not favor withholding
the election returns, and it was through their effort that the issue of last
week was released Friday evening. The Maroon and Gold is pledged to the
protection and promotion of the best interests of the student body, and its
one intention is to live up to that pledge . . . What's the story behind the
sudden popularity of crutches ? If the casualty list keeps growing, we shall
have to see about organizing a Crutch Club . . . The latest trend in spring
fashions has been brought to the campus by Dot Lovett who is currently
sporting a tu-tone hair-do—chestnut brown and blonde , no less . . . One
candidate who lost in the recen t election can lay the defeat at the doorstep
of a well-meaning backer who talked too much. In this case silence might
have supplied the margin of victory . . . In case you haven't thought of it
before, the school year is dwindling fast away. There will be only five more
issues of the Maroon and Gold . . . It's still only in the gleam-in-the-eye
stage, but we might be able to swing another dance with an all-campus band.
However, with the Hop and the Prom still in the offing, it looks doubtful . . .
And speaking of the Freshman Hop, make it a date ! ! !

on mass production of posters and
banners, and came up with a series
of signs along the Science Hall walk
which added a novel twist to their
publicity work. The Wagner bandwagon, lei by Don Butcofsky, placed
its emphasis upon the unusual , and
staged a parade in assembly and a
dance on the eve of the final election.
Bernie Zelinski took the prize for
what was without a doubt one of the
most frank political speeches ever
delivered anywhere under any circumstances. While the other candidates went to great lengths to steer
clear of anything that might label
them as politi ci an s, Bernie openly
called himself a politician and employed it as a slogan throughout his
campaign.
Supporters of Audrey Terrel caused a maj or stir by hoisting a Terrel
pennant on the flagpole near Carver
Hall. Later, when the act was declared illegal, they were forced to
take it down. They promptly contacted a lawyer who informed them that
they were within their legal rights so
far as laws related to the displayal of
the flag were concerned. Since they
did not later replace the pennant ,
they were apparently satisfied with
what they termed a "moral victory."
The withholding of the election returns created a disturbance among
student groups, who maintained that
it was their right to know the results
as soon as they were ready for release. As a result of this , the election
provided material for many heated
discussions in the late dormitory bull
sessions. It all came to a happy ending, h owever , when the Maroon and
Gold came out with an early edition
carrying the tabulated returns Friday
evening.
Additional novelty was added to
the election by the fact that this year
marked the first use of a voting machine in the history of the college.
The maj ority of the students had
never before operated one of these
machines, and they welcomed the
opportunity to become more familiar
with them. One of the great advantages of these machines is that they
tabulate the votes as they are cast
and thereby eliminate the long and
tedious process of counting and tabulating each vote separately.
Thus we have in part the colorful
background of what proved to be perhaps one of the most hotly contested
C.G.A. elections of all time on the
B.S.T.C. campus. All who were involved, candidates and campaign managers alike, haye voiced the common
opinion that "It was hard work, but
lots .of fun. "
