Jimmy Kleman Named It May Be Spring, But ? ? ? ? "Joe College" of BSTC At Annual Junior Prom Amid a throng of hundreds of people, Jim KIcman , a senior , from Ashland , was named Joe College at the ann ual Junior Prom held on Friday night , April 21, in Centennial Gymnasium. Nancy Unger , B.S.T.C.'s Coed of the Year, made the presentation during inter mission. As bearer of the Joe College title, Kleman represents the typical college "Joe " and signifies the maj ority 's expectations of an ideal college student. He was chosen from among eight of B.S.T.C.'s outstanding masculine personalities who were nominated a few weeks ago by a committee composed of two coeds from each of the freshman, sophomore , junior , and senior classes. On April 20, ballots bearing the candidates names were submitted Yes indeed , spring is here — we hope ; but thi s picture of our "Friendly to the college community in the regu- College the Hill " seemed most too good to keep locked away in the lar Th ursday Assembly and Kleman M. & G. on files.

The quick sale of the final Obiter reserve forms proved the success of the undertaking. Joe Cu rilla , director-producer of the show and editor-in-chief of the '50 Obiter, is credited with turning in a beau tiful piece of work for both. The setting for the opening number of the show was a boy 's dorm room in Waller Hall the night before an exam. Authenticity was given the skit by the able portrayals rendered by Alex Kubik, Fr ank Fu rgele , Claude Renninger, Frank De an , Buck Byham , Phil Search and Ben Burness. Following the skit, the Andy Mack Trio took its place behind the footlights. As their first number, Norman Kline and Max Kaplan , accompanied by Andy Maceiko and his accordian , sang a medley of patriotic tunes by Cohan. Andy then soloed on his sparkling, now accordian and gave out with hi sown version of "St. Louis Blues." After which, for a change in tempo, he played the "Coronet Polka." Kline and Kaplan then returned and the trio delighted the audience with such catchy numbers as "Terry " (an original), "Just Because," "We're Big Boys Now," and "Judaline. " A pleasant surprise greeted tho audience as the curtain opencontinued on page 2) Plan for Distribution of Senior Ball Tickets and Programs Announced Tickets and programs for the Senior Ball will be distributed from the C.G.A. office from noon until 5:00 P.M. on Thursday, May 4.

Devoe, Obiter adviser, the selection of the editor of the 1951 yearbook will be made in the near future. According to the plan outlined in the memorandum, persons interested in being on the staff of the 1951 Obiter should submit their names to Joe Curilla, stating the type of work they wish to do. The selection of the 1951 editor will then be made from the names submitted. It was announced also by Curill a that the 1950 Obiter is planning a "yearbook clinic, " which will be held sometime in the next two or three weeks if a sufficient number of persons are interested. The clinic will be conducted by a staff member of the Campus Publishing Company, which is the Philadelphia division of a large corporation specializing in school and college publications. Curilla, wh o i s edi to r of th e 1950 Obiter, pointed out that the clinic will be of int ere st t o both present and prospective Obiter staff members. He also stated that persons who will be certified in English would find the clinic helpful in building up a background for high school yearbook adviserships. Those interested in attending the clinic are asked to submit their names to Curilla. The clinic will be held on this campus. Phi Sigma Pi Elects New Officers at Annual Founder's Day Banqu et The annual Founders' Day banquet of Phi Sigm a Pi, Iota Chapter, was held on Thursday evening, Apr il 20, at Dutch Hill. A delicious dinner of chicken and waffles was served to the group of thirty who attended. t Guest speaker of the evening was Mr. John B. Kennedy, Superintendent of the Kingston Schools. Following the dinner, Mr. Kennedy spoke on the subje ct , "Waste in Education." In his remarks, tho speaker pointed out a number of ways in which education fails to be thrifty in its processes. Starting a student before he is ready to begin school, and then failing him because he cannot make the grade, is one example of a form of this waste. Perhaps the student is not capable of entering school before he is eight years old. If such is the case, the better plan is to let him wait. But , when a student does enter school, the teacher must take a personal interest in his charge, and each successive teacher must take a personal interest (Continued on page 4) Class of 1950 Draws Up Final Graduation Plans; Will Leave Annual Memorial Scholarship Commencement Issue Flares Into Heated Debate from Floor Butcofsky, Davis, Chapin, and Kamm • To Head '50 Alumni A fifty-dollar annual scholarship The Class of 1950 held its final meeting of the year in Carver Audi- has been established as a memorial torium last Friday afternoon and by the Class of 1950.

Much attention has been paid concerning the closing letters by our correspondents. Frequently is wr itten the statement , as always, as always , as ever, and so on. These are what campus English profs might call abstractions since they say or mean nothing. A closing such as Always, Jane, is a foolish statement. To begin* with , if it wasn't always Jane, who else would it be. If the correspondent planned to change her name, she should have written the information in the context of the letter , and if she did not hint that she . wouldn 't always be Jane, the closing Always Jane is useless, trite, distacteful and unromantic. Take a statement such as Yours truly. Now that really contains depth. It relates that: everything in the letter is the Gospel truth , but yet unless you are writing to an enemy, (which we infrequently do) there is little cause to attach Yours truly at the ending. A true friend would believe every penned word anyway. Writing the word "love" at the ending is not suitable either. The word no longer means what it formerly meant because of its overuse. We might say we love baseball or love to throw rocks, but we cannot classify a bat , stones and a beautiful gii'l in the same category. They only have one thing in common; they are all hard ancl cold until they are handled a while.

Byham Fans 15 Batters as Teammates Collect 6 Hits To Register Season's 4th Win Bill Byham pitched four-hit ball and fanned fifteen Mansfield batters, Saturday afternoon, while the College was winning its eighteenth straight game, 4-3, on Mt. Olympus. The big left-hander had to be that good too. His mates ran into a drought of basehits, and some slovenly fiel ding, some of it by Byham, combined to make things tough for the Kane sophomore. Playing their first game of the s e a s o n , the Mountaineers proved great competitors. Lefty Joe Cheplick settled down after 'a shaky first two innings and gave up 'a total of only six hits. His control was a little edgy, with eight walks going into the records, but he stopped the 'Huskies with men on base. The first two runs for Bloomsburg in the first inning were in the nature of a gift. Walks to Ted Mensinger and Dick Hummel were sandwiched around a sacrifice bunt by Ed Piestrak. Don Butler flied out to deep right, before Mike Evans raised one into the same territory , for what should have been the third out. Rightfielder Len Kobeski fell down under the chance, however, and Mensinger and Hummel scooted home. The Huskies got another big chance in the second inning but the chance melted away after only two more runs had been scored. Jim Thompson and Stan LeVan both strolled before Byham rolled a single between third and short to plate Thompson. Mensinger walked to load the bases with no one out. In this situation, Piestrak fled to right, Hummel popped to short and Butler grounded to second. The fourth run came across on Piestrak's out. That was all of the Husky scoring for the ball game. Mansfield picked up its first run in the third inning. Ed Drabinski walked and took second on a passed ball. Cheplick and George both fanned, but Kobeski came through with a liner . to center that scored Drabinski. The gift runs for the Mountaineers came in the fourth and fift h innings. In the fourth , Piestrak bobbled an easy roller that permitted Tomassoni to score. In the fifth , Byham made a nice pick-up of a ground ball through the box, and then , with plenty of time for the play, threw the ball ten feet over Piestrak's head at first. That permitted Kobeski to score. That was all for Mansfield which went down in order in the sixth, seventh and ninth , an d got on e runner as far as second in the eighth. The Huskies have two games this week, going to Millersville, Wednesday, and playing host to Shippensburg on Mt. Olympus, Friday. Saturday 's win was the fourth without defeat this season. S,C,A.
