Bloomsburg Players
Meet in Carver Hall
The Bloomsburg Players held
their regular meeting on Tuesday,
October 24, at 7:00 P.M. in Carver
Auditorium. A one-act play entitled "Good Medicine" was pre-.
sented. The play, a riotous comedy, was directed by Barbara
Sherman and James Creasy. "Good
Medicine " involves the struggles
of a young doctor trying to establish himself in his chosen profession.
After he has given up his nearly
non-existent practice to work in
a grocery store, a wealthy woman
"hypochondriac " comes to his office. The doctor 's wife, who also
substitutes as his nurse, tries to
persuade the doctor to accept the

Homecoming Day 1950 . . .

This week-end finds the campus in the spirit of Homecominq
day. On this day, graduates of Bloomsburg have come from many
sections of the countrv for an occasion they have anticipated for
weeks in advance. They are from many different classes , an d
some are among t he oldest living members of the Alumni Association.
The Homecoming Committee has nlanned entertainm ent to
ma ke the day an enj oyable one for all. The main event will be the
football name with Kutztown . Some of the other events will be a
ge.t-togeth.er in the college lounne and a dance at Centennial
Gvmnasium Saturdav evening. On their return to the campus, it
is hoped that Bloomsburg alumni will find each moment enfovable.
As they walk over the familiar campus , they mav notice a
few chaiqes, but the true sp.'rit an d heart of the school are still
here. Their eyes will move from face to face , honinq to see a
familiar frien d or classmate. Warm greetings will follow the reunion of people who returned with a common interest in mind.
Many fond memories \>n\\ bt> recalled and relived. Some will
pause before the World War II Memoral and remember a friend
who died in the service of his country . They will mis.s others who
have nassed on; they will long to see those who could not come.
Our alumni will recall the davs when they were students here
an d remember that it was here that some of their happiest times
were soent.
Most of us don 't realize that days at Bloomsburg will be
memora ble ones; and that the friends we make here , we will always remember. A better way of explaining this is found iii ths
words of the immortal Shakespeare: "For we , which now behold
these present days, have eyes to wonder , b ut l ac k tongues to
praise. "

U.N. Celebrates Fifth Anniversary . . .
On October 23. 1950, the ring ing of the Freedom Bell in
Berlin marked the fifth anniversary of the drawing up of the
Unite d Nations. It was in 1945 that forty-six nations united together to draw up the blueprints for a union to bind nations of the
world.
The United Nations is not the first organization of its kind
because, as ear ly as the Greek era , a similar organization called
the Delphic Amp hictyony was established. In earl y American
history, the Iroquois Indians founded the League of the Six
Nations. The countries of the modern world tried to unite in the
times of the First World War , but this proved unworkable. Historica ll y speaking, the United Nations had its beginnings very
recent ly.
Today there are sixty member nations in the United Nations ,
an increase of fourteen since its establishment in 1945. These
nations , repres enting different cultures and different races , h ave

The annual pre - Homecoming
pep rally was held during the Assembly period on Tuesday, October 24, 1950, in Centennial Gymnasium.
The spirited Maroon and Gold
band ushered the students to the
bleachers with stirring marches,
after which Master of Ceremonies
Charles Edwards took over the
program. The entire audience sang
"Old Bloomsburg" and B.S.T.C.'s
peppy squad of Cheerleaders led
the college in cheers and yells.
Coach Hoch made a few remarks; he emphasized the fact
that there is danger in the tooeomplacent attitude of the students towards the Homecoming
game with Kutztown State Teachers College. The Golden Avalanche
is a heavy team and has shown a
good record this season. They will
be out to ruin our Homecoming
as we spoiled theirs two years ago.
More college songs and cheers
followed, and Roongo was introduced to the student body.
Coach Redman spoke a few
words about the team and the
Homecoming game. He said that
this year's team is a surprise to
him ; at the beginning of the season , he had expected them to win
about two out of the eight games.
He expressed his agreement with
Mr. Hoch with regard to Kutztown.
Danny Parrell was called on to
speak in behalf of the t eam. He
cxD'-essed the team's appreciation
of the enthusiastic support of the
students throughout the season.
The pep rally closed with the
singing of the Alma Mater.

Audio*Visual Clinic
In Carver Hall
On Nov. 1, 1950
An A u d i o - V i s u a l Education
Equipment Clinic will be held in
Carver Auditorium on November
1, 1950, from 1:00 \o 4 :00 P.M.
School administrators , teachers,
and other interested persons have
been invited to attend. Mr. U. F.
Good a ll , Chief of Radio and Visual
Education , Department; of Public
Instruction , has arranged a program in two parts.
Part 1 will include:
1. A demonstration before the
group of the proper use of the
opaque proj ector, the fil mst rip
projector , and the motion picture
projector .
2. The relationship of the equipment to the instructional program.
3. The extent to w h i c h the
equipment may be used in the service area.
4, Maintenance of equipment .
5, Annual reports to bo made in
connection with the use of the
equipment.
6, A question and answer period.
Part 2 will consist of information on the procedure as well as
terms upon which the schools may
secure the Audio-visual instructional materials available from the
Pennsylvania regional library.

Wit h the increasing attention being directed to sensory aids
in education , t he visual education departments of colleges throug hout the country are carrying on more interesting an d more educationa l programs than ever before. Bloomsburg State Teachers
College is no exception.
Whether students enroll in the secondary, business, or elementary fields, t hey are required to take a course known as Visual
Education. As summarized by the college catalog, t h e stu d y "considers the psychological princi pl es un d er l ying Visual or Other
Sensory Aids , an d also studies the collecting and assembling of
suitab le teachinq material. " Instructors for the course are Dr . H.
H. Russell and Mr . Charles H. Henrie.
In addition to the classroom activities, h owever , t h ere are
other responsibilities which the department undertakes. At the
present , Bloomsburg State Teachers College is makinq pl ans to
serve as the distributing center to the high schools in the area for
the educational films which are used in the classroom. Because of
t h ese pl ans , an attempt is being made to expand the film library
of the department. In recent years it has been shown that educationa l films are of immeasureable value in the classroom as an
entertaining learning medium.
Appointed to the job of film librarian of Bloomsburg State
Teachers Collene is Mr. Thaddeus Krensavage , a gra d uate of ihe
class of 1950. His work entails the organizing and cataloging of
all ths films in the library. The majority of these films are vocationa l.
On the first of November , there will be an Audio-Visual
Clinic held here on the campus. Representatives from a number
of schools will convene here to discuss problems and methods of
sensory education. In addition , the operation of projectors and
ot her machines will be demonstrated. The exact worth of the
coll ege ' s equi pment in this department is not known , b ut it is
estimated that it totals thousands of dollars.
The department renders a service to student teachers by permitting them to take out any films which they mi gh t d esire to us e
in their classroom instruction. However , they must first give evid ence t h at t h ey can eff ici ent ly oper a te t h e proje c tor an d care fo r
the films.
Besides the visual education staff , composed of Dr. Russell ,
Mr, Henrie , and Mr. Kr ensavage , the college maintains an AudioVisua l Committee, headed by Dr. Russell and made up of Miss
Hazen , Mr . Hallisy, Dr. Engelhardt, Mr s. Beeman , Miss Johnsto n , Miss Zealberg, Mr. Henrie , and Mr. Lanterman .

Second Victory Over
Wilkes by 4*2 Count

by Harry Brooks
Coach Bob Redman 's Husky grid machine rolled on last Saturday
at the expense of Shippensburg, 26-6, to remain one of the six undefeated elevens in the state. Four others of the six — Carnegie Tech ,
L ehigh , Scran ton. and F&M — marched on to preserve clean slates ,
while the sixth member of this select group, Drexel , was idle. This week
should find the going tough for all six powers, and by late Saturday
afternoon things may have gone something like this:

University ol Scranton is idle , so we should still have all six teams in
the undefeatad class next week at this time.
As the Maroon and Gold continued tlieir winning 1 ways last week,
our future foes chalked up victories. West Chester swamped East
St rou d, Indiana topped Slippery Rock, and Kutztown dropped a mediocre Trenton squad, 12-0. Days ulicad look rough for the Husky
aggregation , but we have confidence that they will come out on top.
The local booters stopped the Wilkes College soccer team for the
second time this season on Mount Olympus, to hoist their record to
three wins against two setbacks. It marked the second consecutive
victory for the Maroon and Gold.
By looking through the football schedules of other state teachers
colleges, we can 't help noticing how some of these schools have branched
out from the mythical conference to play better opposition throughout
the state. Surely Mansfield and Millersville, t o name two , are tired of
getting walloned by Bloom, and the fans are getting just as bored
watching it. The solution is to play more formidable opposition , such
as Geneva , Ridw, VVaynesburg, and other teams, who are, to be sure,
not a power every year, but consistently hold their own within the tristate area. The problem is: can these schools be scheduled ?
Harold Shelly's basketball-minded boys turned out last Tuesday
night for the first formal practice. Over fifty candidates renorted and
more will turn their attention to the courts after the grid season is over.
This top winter sport should really be interesting on the Hill , come
December.
A fin al note on possible collegiate scores for the week: last week
the crystal ball had seven out of ten right for a percentage of 700, but
darned if any of us can win on the football pools.

Huskies Keep Record Intact by
Def eating Shippensburg 26*6
Dan Parrell Scores Three
T.D.'s to Rank in
State Scoring Honors
D i s p l ay i n g the courage and
stamina of their namesake, the
valiant Huskies of B. S. T. C. cut
down the heavier Shippensburg
line until they were on equal
terms — and then proceeded to
methodically whip the Red Raiders until the final gun sounded.
The final score was 26-6 in favor
of the aggressive Bloomsburg gridders.
According to the sports experts,
the Huskies were a 10 point underdog as they entered the Ship-

pensburg field last Saturday afternoon. Again, as in last week's
game, the B.S.T.C. football team
proved the experts wrong.
After a bruising first quarter in
which neither team scored , the
Huskies proceeded to upset the
odds by crashing to an early second period score on the basis of
Nemetz 's recovery of a Raider
fumble on the Bloomsburg 31-yard
line. Runs by Spack and Lang and
a pass play, Spack to Verhausky .
which covered 43 yards, placed
the ball on the Shippensburg 14yard line. Lang reeled off a sevenyard gain and Parrell bulled his
way across the Raider goal line.

Coach Bob Redman
Returning Homecomers and grid
fans should know by now the gridiron record of genial Bob Redman
here at Bloomsburg. His highlytouted teams have won him much
acclaim over the last three years
in the small college circuits.
"Rapid Robert" (as his college
clippings say ) came here in the
late season of 1947. Since then his
teams have compiled an enviable
record of 25 wins in their last 26
games. Holding the coaching reins
only two games in 1947, he won
them both and continued unbeaten
through the 1948 season. Opening
the 1949 season, Wilkes College
dumped the Huskies 2 0 - 7 and
broke the unbeaten spell, but the
Maroon and Gold gridders rolled
over the rest of their opponents to
start a new string of wins. The
present season shows a grand total of four wins in four tilts.
Today 's game is the Huskies
third Homecoming game under the
tutelage of Bob Redman and they
will be out to win. Let's be there
to back a winner!

The Husky booters chalked up
their third victory on Saturday,
October 21, when they defeated
Wilkes College, 4-2. The game was
played on Mt. Olympus; it was the
second triumph over Wilkes for
Coach Shelly 's boys this season.
Bickert scored the first goal for
the Huskies on a penalty kick in
the opening period. This was closely followed by a Wilkes score.
In the second session , Pursel
gave the Maroon and Gold tribe a
lead by booting across our second
score.
Faced by tsoDDy Koan and uick
Gearhart , the Shellymen sewed up
the game in the last quarter by
pushing across two goals. Wilkes
also scored a goal in the last 30
seconds of play.
The game in itself was well
played by both clubs, and the boys
displayed figh t throughout the
•contest. Furgele and Cleaver looked well on defense for the Huskies.

For the first time in three
weeks, the Maroon and Gold gridders will trot on the field as favorites, this time to meet the formidable Kutztown eleven. By national ratings, the Huskies were
underdogs at both Millersville and
Shippensburg, but came out on
top in both , beating Millersville
40-0 and Shippensburg 26-6. However, this H o m e c o m i n g game
should not be taken lightly. Kutztown was defeated by Shippensburg earlier in the season, but
since then the Golden Avalanche
has shown consistent improvement. On the last two Saturday s,
Kutztown has emerged victorious.
After taking the measure of Cortland , 15-6, they dropped the Tren- •
ton Tutors by a 12-0 count last
week. They are in fine physical
and mental shape after the Trenton victory and will try all-out to
spoil the B. S. T. C. Homecoming
festivities.
On the other hand, Coach Redman's charges are up for the
game, fearing an upset. Many of
the Husky gridders remember the
tough battle they had with the
Kutztown eleven last year, before
the Huskies finally copped the decision, 27-14. Despite the inj uries
suffered at Shippensburg, the Huskies will field their usually strong
team.
This will be the only game on
Mount Olympus again this year.
A fine Homecoming crowd is expected to turn out to see the
Maroon and Gold try to annex
their thirteenth straight win, the
nineteenth over teachers colleges,
and their twenty-fifth victory in
the last twenty-six college tilts.

Co lleg e COUNCIL
- HI-UTES
In its meeting held October 23,
College Council acted upon tne
motion to place n new j uke idox in
the college lounge soineuine in the
near tuiure. 'mere were no dissenting votes to the motion , and
pending the approv al of the piesident and re-writing of the contract to the specifications set up
by council, the motion was passed.
The j uke box will be a 1948-model
Wurlitzer 24-record-capacity machine. Periodic servicing has been
assured by the Vombico Vending
Machine Company of Shamokin ,
Pa.
The college lounge situation was
again bro ught before the council.
During an infor mal inspection of
the lounge which followed the
meeting, council members were
amazed with the evidences of extreme carelessness and vandalism
which they encountered. It was
decided th at some action should
be taken to alleviate the situation
by stressing to the students that
they are, in effect , wasting their
own money when they destroy or
mutilate lounge facilities. If the
"Student Appeal" plan fails, more
drastic measures will have to be
taken to remedy the problem. A
fr ank discussion of the situat ion
will be held in assembly in the
near f u t u re .
After c o n s i d e r a b l e discussion ,
Council decided that the problem
of sending eligible council members to Williamsport for student
teaching was an administrative
one , and further discussion was
withheld until Dr. Andruss acts on
the problem.
The 1950 - 51 College Council
bu dget was adopted in its entirety. The question of N.S.A. affiliation will become the feature issue
of the next meeting. No provision
has been made in the budget to
send a delegate from this college
to the National N.S.A. meeting
next year. However , the present
b udget does provide for B.S.T.C.
representatives to attend the District and State N.S.A. Conferences
which will be held during the year.
It was pointed out that if the College Council decides to disaffiliate
from N.S.A., its current N.S.A.
allocation will be transferred to
some other activity.
This column , which incidentally
had its birth in the Council meeting of October 23, will be publish ed in the Maroon and Gold issue
immediately following the regular
College Council meetings. All information printed here is subject
to the approval of the President of
the College, who must approve the
minutes of each Council meeting.
We e n d e a v o r to keep College
Council Hi-Litos as obj ective as
possible , keeping personalities out
except' when we have no other
choice.

Beware! Beware! The unique of
all mysterious days is soon to
come. "W'n at is this day or magic,
lo;e, and superstition '/ Ii 's Halloween ! Black cats keep away,
pumpkins shine bright , to
and ole'
moon slice yourself aov^n
a shin
slivei '. Hailovvcen brings us the
same excitement now as it did
when we , as children , masqueraded. Although this day is not taken
as seriously as in days of yore,
listen to the story of the origin ox
the most ghostly day in the year.
The mystic rites with which
Halloween was originally observed
began among the Druids centuries
ago, long before the Christian era.
Many of these ancient rites were
brought from Europe to this country by the colonists of England.
Today, most of these rites arc
called superstitions and are no
longer regarded as tru e — still ,
many superstitious people hang on
to the ancient f allacies. For inst ance , the Pennsylvani a Gorman
farmers paint hex signs on their
barns to keep evil spirits away.
Another ancient belief is that if a
man fills his mouth with wheat
and goes for a long walk, the first
girl whose name is spoken will be
his future wife. Have you ever
tried to walk around with your
mouth full of wheat ? Please try
it , then whistle. But all kidding
aside, Halloween was a very serious thing1 in its day.
To you and me, Halloween means
masquerading, parties, bobbing for
apples, and fun galore. Thus, a
happy Halloween to each and every one of you , and watch out for
the goblins!

"Bl ue and Broken Hearted" is
the theme song of all the eligible young bachelors in the Business Education curriculum since
blithe -spirited Marj orie Keller

"Exotic " was the word for it
. . . At the annual Undergraduate Speech and Hearing Conference held at the Pennsylvania
State College on October 19, the
word "exotic" was mentioned no
less than six times in discussing
the speech courses throughout
the state. A Temple representative started it , and representatives from other colleges kept
the ball rolling. What started
out as a humorous bit of adjec tivity became a verbal Frankenstinian monster.
Making like boids are two former students of B.S.T.C, Elwood
Earle and Donald Fasset. Both
fellows became "glamour boys "
during this past summer, and both
are stationed at Air Force bases
deep in the heart of Texas. Donald was the messenger boy who
was looking for Mrs. Jones in the
"57 Varieties Show" last May. We
wonder if he has caught up with
her in his travels.

Communism: If you have two

you some milk.
Fascism: If you have two cows,
you keep the cows and give the
milk to the government; then the
government sells you some milk.
New Doalism: If you have two
cows, you shoot one and milk the
other; then pour the milk down
the drain.
Nazism: If you have two cows,
the government shoots you and
keeps the cows.
Capitalism: If you have two cows,
you sell one and buy a bull.
