J anuary Seniors Vote Unanimously For Mid-Term Ball The No isiest Octet on Campus ? ? ? College Placement Survey Reveals Favorable Record A Under the leade rship of Don Butcofsky, recently elected prexy of the Senior class, the graduating class of l95O hcld a meeting in Carver Audi^ at 2 P.M., Monday, October torium 31. Preliminary to the discussion of pressing business, Mr. Edward T. DeVoe of the f aculty, gave a brief of the '50 Obiter as it 'has been planned and designed by Editor Joe Curilla. Mr. DeVoe mentioned the approximate cost of the college annual and the measure that would be taken to meet this obligation. The two main points of controversy that were brought before the Senior class were: (1) the question of whether or not the Seniors graduating in January shall have a Senior Ball independent of the regular May affair, and (2) whether or not the graduating class should have a group class picture taken that would include both the students graduating in May and those graduating in January . Voting was placed before the students , and the results indicated that a secession movement might easily be on the verge of actuality . If the trend of events keeps rolling forward in the same channel, it will be the first time in the history of the ColI lege tha t any graduating class has Shown above are B.S.T.C.'s lusty-lunged cheerleaders.

North , Dean of Instruction at the College, advised school teachers of Northeastern Pennsylvania to present themselves always in their "best professional light" in order that their gains of the past few years "be consolidated and secure." Speaking to more than one hundred teachers and supervisors from eleven counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, Dr. North denned the part this State is playing in the improvement of teachers on a state and country-wide basis. He also spoke of the work being done to improve the standards of in-service and pre-service teachers by the PSEA Commission on Teacher Education and Professional Standard s, of which he is chairman . The occasion was the Northeastern Pennsylvania Teacher Training Session of the P.S.E.A. held this week in the West Scranton High School. The College was further represented at the conf erence by President Harvey A. Andruis, who participated in a group conference concerned with the "Responsibilities of the Teaching Profession in Adequately Supplying Competent Candidates." Dr. Raymond Koch, superintendent of Hershey schools, presided over the general sessions. Dr. David Stewart, P. S. E. A. president , made th e principal address.

S.CA. Officer s Attend County Youth Confab The 31st annual conference of the Young People of Columbia County was held on Thursday and Friday, November 3 and 4, at St. Matthew 's Lutheran Church, ' Bloomsburg. Miss Miriam Lawson, county superintendent of the organization , reported a registration well in excess of 300. The theme of the conference was "The Sermon On the Mount." Discussion leaders were chosen by the County Youth Council officers and leaders. Among the ministers from surrounding towns who led discussion goups were Rev. R. L. Lundy and Rev. Edgar D. Ziegler, both of Bloomsbuvg. Class of J 49 Boasts Large Empl oyment In Elementary Field The annual placement survey letter has been mailed to the 225 graduates of the Class of '49, in an effort to determine the breakdown on graduates in teaching, graduate work, business, and other occupations. Inf ormation already accumulated on 187 members of the Class of '49 indicates that 79% are teaching, 10% doing gradu ate work, and slightly over 10% are employed in business. Data on the remaining 32 students is expected to raise the ratio of graduates placed in teaching to eight out of ten. These figures are encouraging, considering the large number of graduates, the general shortage of elementary teachers, and the oversupply of secondary teachers of English and Social Studies. Business teachers in Shorthand and Typewriting are still in demand , but other subj ects in the business field seem to be well supplied . The breakdown according to fields is as follows : In elementary, 50 out of 52 are teaching ; in business, out of 104 graduated , 55 are teaching and 21 are engaged in business; in secondary, 35 out of 69 graduates are teaching. Business placement to date is about 70%. That the College can boast a very favorable placement record is shown by three surveys made over the last 18 years. A survey of over a thousand * graduates before 1940 shows a 77% placement; a five-year survey covering 1941-45 shows an 80% placement; and a three-year survey made in 1948 indicates an 83% placement. These figures are based on surveys made after long periods of time had elapsed after graduation . It is expected that in future years the record of emp loyment will grow. Colorf ul Decorations Provide Setting f or Annual Halloween Fete A happy host of heterogeneous hobgoblins hovered outside the Dining Room doors on Monday evening, October 31. It was the Hallowe'en P ar ty and for m ost of th e st u dents , t his meant doffing the usual garb of dressy dinner outfits for the more colorful and individualistic styles of the moment—slacks, sweaters, blue j eans, pallid shirts, and you-name-it. At 5:45, when the doors were opened , the crowd spilled into the Dining Room , only to find, that Miss Thayor 's personal spooks and goblins had shuffled the table numbers so that everyone except the lucky football players, went scattering to find their respective tables. To add to the festive occasion , the room was decorated with orange and black streamers, while each table had a pumpkin as a centerpiece. The waiters , from stations nearly hidden behind cornstalkcovered posts, and dressed in attractive and appropriate costumes, served the delicious raeal of chicken - with all - the - trimmings, including the pumpkin pie.

A passing glance at the magazine rack in the library latel y would probably bring on a double take from anyone even remotely interested in periodical litera ture. The glaring empty spaces where the varnished wood of the rack shows between the few magazines left mig ht be an indication of an upswing of interest in literary bouillabaise. Such an interest is meritorious, of course, but it is not a justification for removing magazines from the library to augment private libraries. Nor is it a valid reason for monopolizing magazines. We do not accuse anyone of pilfering or willfully monopolizing periodicals. The problem is probably only one of thoug htlessness. It is extremel y easy, when one is burdened w i t h myriad assignments , to forget consideration for others. It is easy to lose sight of the fact that library magazines are in constant demand for reports in nearly every course offered when the individual is concerned only with getting a required report. It is the individual' s duty, as a member of a democratically organized c o m m u n i t y , to observe »¦ those considerations as they apply to community property. It is his duty as a patron of a public library —¦ any public library. And it should be his desire, when he stops to consider that his classmates , r o o m m a t e s , a n d closest friends may be waiting for the magazine he is using. FASHIONS a la f emme — by Dot Cedor ===== SAMMY the SHMOO by Max Kaplan From out of the past comes the story of Sammy the Shmoo. Sammy wasfn 't an ordinary, con ventional shmoo, not in the beginning, anyway. He didn't bother his head about the trivialities of life ; he didn 't care whether he had eggs for breakfast , or pickled pigs ' feet. It made no difference to him whether it snowed in June or sunshined in December. No, nothing like that ever phased him in the least. You see, Sammy was an idealistic shmoo. He went along from day to day, dreaming of a Utopian paradise where shmoos from all over the world could get together and bask in the sunshine of aesthetic intellectualism. But one day Sammy 's dreams all came tumbling down. It all started when he made the startling discovery that it cost money to live ; that to make money, he had to work; and that to work in a world of workers, he had to compromise his idealistic viewpoint — with one of practical So Sammy was started on the road to conformity . He didn 't like it at first , but he had to go through the motions to insure economic security. He even acquired an education in the process. For now when Sammy went to breakfast , he ate the mostest for the loastest; and now he noticed whether the weather was weathering for or against him; for now it made a difference to his pocket-book. Well , Sammy knocked around the country for a number of years, fin ally settled down and raised a family . All his idealistic ideas had been suppressed , but he still had a few worthwhile though ts floating around in the back of his head. Sammy had mellowed with age, and his ideas had matured with him. He had come to realize that though it was nice to dream , this was a world of doers ; and th ough he was forced into conformity , he had come to appreciate this conformity as both practical and reasonable. And he conformed intellig en t ly, so that his individuality was not engulfed in a sea of ultra - mediocrity. Why he even played the guitar once in a while , and attended a Paul Robeson concert. I could end this by saying that Sammy was a happy shmoo, except for the fact that after all his years of experience , and some amount of introspection , Sammy had come to understand that , at last, he was no longer a shmoo. Are you a Shmoo ? Remember Sammy. For t hose w ho wan t to have that neat appearance in a winter coat , a fitted coat will solve the problem.

Many and varied opinions were brought forth , both by students and several faculty members. The chief comments were those which pointed out the various means used by students who cheat. Objections were raised by students with regard to the practice of some instructors who give the same test to separate sections of a class which meet at different hours. This was felt to give the later group an advantage over the group which first took the examination. Another criticism was that the overall schedule of testing is not organized, thereby resulting in some students being responsible for taking several examinations in a short period of time, even in a single day . Other remarks concerned the amount of credit given to test grades. The possibilities of encouraging "open book" tests or of having regular daily or weekly qui.?: periods, with only 'several long examinations , were also mentioned. Dr. Andruss, in a few brief remark s, announced that in the future no instructor should use the same test in two separate sections of any class subj ect. Dr. North asked for an informal vote in regard to the matter of employing the method of quiz periods for determining the grades of students. Opinion was divided on this question. Adding a closing comment, Mr. Hoch suggested that one remedy for the problem might arise from the development of better study habits by the students. Several remarks were made during the course of the meeting stressing the fact that the problem of cheating is , in the final analysis, a matter of responsibility of the individual. In this way, the discussion was summed up. Closing the meeting were remarks by John Czerniakowski, who is at present chairman of a committee which is investigating the possibility of providing feature motion pictures for the benefit of the college community. Mr. Czerniakowski . ..told of the success met so far and asked for cooperation and suggestions from the assembly with regard to types of attractions and dates preferred. With no further business at hand , the meeting was dismissed by President Wagner. Just loving ? ?

" The likable group closed with Oley Speaks ' "Morning. " When the concert formally ended , the satisfied and applauding audience clamored and clapped for more music. Encores which delighted the already thrilled crowd were "The Donkey Serenade " and "Mighty Like A Rose." The quartet brought to a close a most enj oyable evening when they sang the powerful and stirring "Lord's Prayer." 1 Stat istics an Stuff by Pat Kringe There are statistics , and then there are statistics. Some are interesting and others j ust are. For instance, let' s take the number of students enrolled in this Institution of Higher Learning (you just have to walk up more steps to get to your classes at B.S.T.C). There is a tot al enrollment of 828 souls. Of this figure 559 are men , the rest, women. Dividing 559 men by 269 women, if you can do it, you come up with the discovery that there are 2.08 men for each Fern. That' s not bad odds, is it, gals ? But then look at it this way — one you don 't want , and the other one doesn 't want you. So where are you then ? Th at's easy. You j ust have .08 of a man. Which brings us to the question of j ust what is eight hundredths of a man ? Does that mean that you and twelve other girls all date him at the same time, or do you take turns ? This is a moot question. Let's look at this from the masculine side of the ledger. Each man is entitled to exactly .48 of a girl. Not even half a, girl for the poor boys. But if you consider the fact that there are 303 veterans in school it is obvious that each girl is entitled to 1.13 of a vet, which is a very interesting fact — as far as facts go. All these decimals confuse the issue. Now wouldn't it be simpler for the administration to balance the enrollment so that these figures would come out even ? ? Hwo Repokts The most significant occuran re at the meeting held on Monday, October 31, was the split of the senior class into two distinct groups, a January group and a May group. Each of these' groups will function as an independent class so far as graduation exercises are concerned. There will be a separate commencement and ball held in January, wi th the final arrangements /"or each depending on how they may be fitted into the January Senior Week caljendar. The majority of the January grad uates favored Tuesday night, January 17, for the ball , and Thurs.day night , Jan u ary 19, for the commencement exercises. Both of these tentative dates, howe v er, are subj ect to revision if they conflict with the college calendar. Since the Cortege Activities Budget has provided only for a May baccalaureate service, a sp ecial dispensation shall be required to arrange this service for the January graduates. Th e entire class approved the plan to include the Obiter cost in the class budget, and a two dollar individu al assessmen t for a class m emorial was also approved. A budget committee composed of the class advisor and the class officers will meet this week to draw up the final budget. Because of the split in the class, there will be separate class dues for the January and May graduates. The January dues will be higher due to the fact that the January graduates are conducting separate graduation exercises. This is to be expected since the January class is considerably smaller, and since the aggregate expense is to be shared by few members. The class voted to have the senior class picture taken in January. The cost of this picture will be included in the class budget and will be covered by the class dues. This matter will be studied carefully to determine whether there will be a necessity for renting gowns in both January and May. If there is, the cost may make the move prohibitive. All committees concerned with January graduation will be posted on the senior bulletin board in the near future. At a later date the May committees will also be posted. It is imperative that all chairmen contact Mr. Rygiel, Room 24, Navy Hall , at their earliest possible convenience. All chairmen will also contact the individual members of their committees and inform them of their duties. This is necessary in order that the class may achieve full organization at the earliest possible date and be prepared to conduct class business with dispatch and efficiency. A special committee will be appointed to study the various possibilities for a class gift. Their recommendations will be submitted to the class at a future meeting. The individual assessment of 236 class members will establish a memorial fund of $472.00. Class members should submit their suggestions to this committee. This report will appear from time to time in the Maroon and Gold as a means of disseminating information of general class interest. However, it is to be understood that the normal vicissitudes of college life will place many Items subject to future revision or change. You will bo informed of these revisions or changes as they occur. Matters of vital interest will be submitted to the class for discussion at regular meetings before any changes or revisions are made.

FOR The *H usky Pups ? ? ? Our Fu ture Foo tba ll H ope SPORTS Jayvee Gridders Down Undef eated Scranton U Eleven with 6-0 Tally by Chris Klincdlns t Pitt' s last minute safety, coming on a blocked kick , gave the Western Pennsylv ania university a slim 22-21 verdict over previo usly undefeated Penn last Sat urday. This reminds us of the 1947 trip the local grid forces made to Clarion State Teachers College. Bloomsburg had lost only to Mansfield and Shippensburg, b o t h heartbreakers, and no one expected supposedly - weak Clarion to give B.S.T.C. much trouble. It turned out that it took two -of those scoring rarities, saf eties , to finally overpower a game Western Pennsyl vania team I by a score of 11-7. Incidentally, that was the yfcar we last played Rider College, of Trenton , N. J. Both Rider and Clarion were t stricken from the local schedule because school officials figured the trips were too long. Wilkes, Kings, and Lycoming replaced these two schools, giving the school a nine game season. Officials also thought that Rider didn't give our teams the opposition that made good spectator football. In two successive y e a r s Bloomsburg scored more than 40 points against the Trenton, school. The calibre of the three new schools' performances on the present card hasn 't been the best football seen in these parts, but Kings and Lycofninf are j ust coming into their own as colleges and football powers. Wilkes, as we all know by now, must have something on the ball, and definitely is a worthy opponent. Last season , Kings was drubbed by BSTC 26-0, and Lycoming fell 47-0. Kings was downed this year 21-0 and the score of tomorrow 's game in all probability will lean heavily toward the Bloomsburg side of the Scoreboard. Perhaps it would be a good idea to try to get Rider back on the schedule , barring the possibility of rejection because of the long trip. East Stroudsburg makes the trip, and found out last week that the New Jersey school is out of the post-war rut they were in three years ago. Stroud fell to Rider 19-7. In answer to city sports editor's heckling of their "vanishing point of spirit ," the Hobart , N. Y., college sports editor replied, "We have been, in deeper ruts than we are in now. From 1928 through 1931 Hobart football teams dropped 27 consecutive games. But they bounced back to have better years. Spirit doesn't disappear in an institution such as ours because of a few years of football victory drought." In answer to any person's heckling of Bloomsburg's "vanishing point of spirit," we can only say that we have been in worse ruts than we are In now. Our school spirit was at a low ebb many times, particularly during the war. Winning football teams don't disappear in an institution such as ours because of a few years of school spirit drought. Just about the reverse of the New York school's predicament, isn't it? Wo have a winning football team, but lack any amount of school spirit. Hobart Is having a rough time with its footbal l teams, but still backs thorn up and has a common fooling of school spirit. That guy that writes Prediction Corner may be all wet this week. Can'I toll about Navy. They just might upset Tulane. Also the Michigan-Purdue, Northwestern-Wisconsin, Ohio State-Pitt game could make a warped plank out of his ouj ia board. Look for a few upsets this week, Notre Dame may even have a mite of trouble with MSC, although Leahycoached clubs usually rise to the occasion, as was evidenced by the 46-7 trouncing they hung on Tulane, Pride of the South.

The kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. at the Williamsport High School Stadium. Lycoming, 64-6 losers to Wilkes Coll ege , is expected to throw the works at the locals in an attempt to stop the Huskies and gain revenge for last year 's 47-0 drubbing at Athletic Park.

Dan Parrell, Bob Leshinski and Elmer Kreiser also turned in excellent performances in helping the Huskies roll to their sixth straight victory, "Hard work never killed anybody, " said the father.

Statistics Reveal Huskies Sixth In State Scoring Prior to last week's contes t a t K ut ztown , the Husky gridders were sixth in state scoring. Kutztown was first with a total of 157 points. The Husky machine has rolled up a total of 153, including the 27-14 victory over the Golden Avalanche. Kutztown now has 171, and no announcement has been made by statisticians as to whether the Berks County team has relinquished the claim to being the highest scoring collegiate team in the state or whether they have been replaced. The caliber of Kutztown's opposition may be one factor in their scoring sprees as they have failed to roll up more th an one touchdown on only one occasion, in th e opener with Shippensburg. The score of that tilt was 6-6. The Huskies scored four times against the Golden Avalanche , as many T.D.'s as had been scored against them in their previous victory streak. Kutztown has given up a total of 45 point s to opposing clubs as compared to 68 gath ered by Bloomsburg opponents. Last year 's Husky squad allowed only 19 points during the season's nine games, 12 scored by Millersville and 7 by Shippensburg. However, last year 's undefeated eleven scored only 183 points , 123 of these against t h e comparatively - weak Wilkes, K i n g s , Lycoming, and Kutztown squads. Only the Mansfield and King 's games this year were termed easy victories. Millersville held the Huskies to 7 points in the first half of their clash. Bloomsburg 's position in state scoring has not as yet been announced , but with last week's four touchdowns and a "breather" this weekend against Lycoming, 64-6 losers to Wilkes last week, B.S.T.C. is sure to improve its standing, not only in scoring but in gridiron supremacy. The Husky Pups mimicked their big brothers last week by starting a j unior-sized winning streak of their own. By annexing a hard-earned 6-0 victory over previously undefeated Scranton University JV's, th e local JV ' s, most of them frosh , brought their record to two wins against one loss , having dropped the season 's opener at Lock Haven. Fred Denesevich rammed over the goal from the one in the early minutes of the fourth quarter to register th e lone tally and bring the Pups their second straight victory on Mt. Olympus. The big fullback set up the score only a few moments earlier when he broke loose for 48 yards, fin ally being hauled down on the S c r a n t o n twenty - four. Thurston caught a pass for 15, Denesevich plunged for three, a penalty put the ball on the one , and then the fullback pushed it across. The try for the extra point was fumbled. Scranton felt Bloomsburg soil under their f eet only twice, driving once in the first period to the Bloom 40 and again in the third quarter to the vi ct ors ' 37. On the other hand , B.S.T.C. went on successive drives to the Scranton 18, 6, 46 , 35, and at the final whistle were on the visitors' 28. (C ontinued on page 4) Husky Booters Suffer Victory Famine; Third Consecutive Loss : Possibly finding the pressure of a victory streak too great , the B.S.T.C. soccer squad lost a tough 2-1 decision to Lock Haven several weeks ago aft er rolling up three straight wins. Now the Husky booters are finding the pressure of a losing streak just as hard to overcome. Against possibly one of the nation 's finest soccer teams, th e loca l kickers dropped a 3-0 decision last Friday on Mt. Olympus. Howard University did the honors, and performed even better than the advance notices claimed. It was the second straight shutout posted against the Shelly - coached aggregation , the first a 4-0 loss to West Chester. The locals' record now stands at three wins and three losses. After a scoreless first quarter, the boys from Washington did their stuff and scored once each in the remaining periods, scoring the last tally with only seconds to play. The Huskies will attempt to crash the win - column this Saturday at Indiana State Teachers College in the first Western Pennsylvania athletic contest a Bloomsburg team has played since the 1947 Clarion football tilt. Victors Pile Up Impressive Total of 19 First Downs in Keeping S.T.C. Slate Clean Kutztown watched its name being crossed off the lists of the unbeaten last Saturday as the B.S.T.C. Husk- " ies proved that their bites are worse than their barks. The Bloomsburg gridders returned home with their sixth consecutive victory and were still at the top of the heap in the Teachers College rank. The final score was 27-14, but statistics showed the locals dominated throughout, despit e leaving the field at halftime with the Scoreboard reading 14-14. The Huskies rolled overth e G olden Aval an che for 19 first downs , as compared to the losers nine. 373 yards were gained on the ground , while Kutztown had trouble getting 200, seventy of these on Larry Motko wski' s sprint early in the first period. The losers had three of their eleven pass attempts intercepted and five were grounded. Drawing first blood, the lads from Berks County went exactly 99 yards in three plays, capped by Motkowski' s dash. This only served to arouse the Huskies as it took only an exchange of punts and six more plays before the score was knotted. Parrell, Lang, and Kriss shared ball - toting responsibilities, with Kriss going the final 17 yards on his now-famous reverse. Elmer Kreiser started a 50 yard march late in the second period by catching a pass good for 15. Kriss and Parrell carried for a first down, with "Dapper " covering the final 17 y ards in four successive tries. Ed Tavalsky made it 14-7 with a perfect placement, and two minutes remained in the half. Kutztown went 82 yards in these two minutes, with a Motkowski-toDiNire pass covering the last 43 y ards to paydirt. Bobby Snaith matched Tavalsky 's kick to make it 14-14. The second half found Kutztown pushing to the Huskies 45. Forced to punt , the Golden Avalanche's lin e couldn't keep Elm Kreiser from throwing his frame in front of Varacolla's kick. Bloomsburg recovered on the homesters' 35. Stalled on the 12, the locals lost the ball on downs, ( Continued on page 4) Prediction Corner ? ? ? The oujia board is here to stay ! We forecast 23 out of 27 winners last weekend for an 851 average, bringing our season's total to 50 correct out of 62 tries. Excluding one tie, this gives us an overall 820 average. The mystic plank helped predict such upsets as Pitt's 22-21 thriller over Penn , Duke's win over favored Georgia Tech and Harvard's initial win of the season over Holy Cross. According to the ouj ia board , we must follow the form chart this week as not many upsets are in the B.SJT.C. Football Managers making. There will be some very close ones however. B.S.T.

Each year about the time the leaves are being rake^ from the campus and the dry goods stores are featuring red flannels , someone gets the tatt ered and frayed "cheating buck" out of the 'mothballs and puts it back into circulation. The students pass it to the faculty, and the faculty passes it back to the students. While these quarterback sneaks and laterals are being put into operation , a squad of cheerleaders composed o£ members of an ethics class do gymnastics on the sidelines and chant time-tested truisms in locomotive fashion. True enough , cheating is a problem ; but it seems that it is more a symptom than a disease, and the best way to get rid of symptoms is to treat the disease — if you can find it. Perhaps our, philosophy of education places entirely too much emphasis upon grades and too little upon actual intellectual growth. We are taught to take the firs t letter from the alphabet and worship it. We place it upon u pedestal and make offerings of burnt midnight oil. Consequently, even the so-called "A" students will occasionally cheat; and when they do, what chance do the average students of the class have ? Our educational practices are not consistent with our educational aims. Perhaps if we were to treat the d-isease the symptoms would take care of themselves. * * !fc * * Females and the Fine Arts . . . Some lassies from Waller 3 have made the claim that their smoker is truly a thing of beauty and a j oy forever. According to their report it is a place where one may enjoy one's Chesterfield or Bull Durham in an atmosphere that is strictly esthetic. Lining the walls are masterpieces of art , reproduced with a color fidelity that rivals ,the original. There the girls gather of an evening to discuss the relative merits of the Florentine School and the 16th century Flemish Masters. Michelangelo and Titian have their followers, as do Rubens and Rembrandt. Perhaps reports will be forthcoming from the second and fourth floors. Meanwhile, the men 's section of Waller Hall continues to exhibit works of more modern origin, with the balance being heavily in favor of Petty and Varga. However, while Waller may house the art treasures of the campus, North Hall is definitely the music center. * *w -f i i- The Lions Get the Bird . . . In former days two eagles occupied the positions from which Leo and Leona now guard the approach to Senior Walk. The eagles reigned supreme for a number of years and continued to gaze defiantly westward even though their wings had become badly chipped. Then Leo and Leona came upon the scene , and it was proposed that they be stationed at the top of the steps. This suggestion met with bitter opposition from patriotic-minded campus citizens, who maintained that the British Lion should not be elevated above the American Eagle. The problem was finally solved by retiring the eagles and putting the lions in their place at the bottom of the steps. Two lights were later installed at the top of the steps , and a problem of international signifi cance was solved for all time. # * * * * Going to the Dogs . . . Women's fashions have claimed fur and feathers as necessities of life , and now they have gone to the dogs and borrowed the only thing a cog has to offer — his collar. These "dog callars " are being used to bring the neck line of milady's dress nearer her chin. For awhile the trend had been in the other direction , then Fido came along to make his contribution , and it'h as become fashionable'to go literally to the dogs. Perhaps the M&G fashion editor will shed some light on the matter in a future article. The idea would have tremendous possibilities if each girl would put her name and phone number on the collar. * * * * * Loose Ends • • • Mary Ellen Dean , a freshman , was the young lady who turned out those clever football slogans for the dining hall a week or two ago . . .
