Business Education Club Hold s Meeting In Navy Auditori um The Business Education Club held its regular meeting on Thursd ay, October 19, in Navy Hall Auditorium. The club observed Pennsylvania Week. Betty Speal , a member of the club, gave an interesting talk on Pennsylvania 's Resources. Mr. RygiqJ, the club sponsor, gave a report on a survey which he has conducted in 1st, 2nd , 3rd, and 4th class school districts in Pennsylvania. The survey included two hundred schools, and these schools represented sixty-two of the 67 counties. The obj ect of the survey was to determine what shorthand standards and curricular practices exist in the four classes of school districts in Pennsylvania. The following were some of the topics considered in the survey : (1) Passing grades used by different schools. (2) Grade placement of shorthand. (3) Selection of firs t year shorthand students by the vari ous schools. (4) Text used in teaching shorthand. (5) Reading rate requirements. (6) When and d u r i n g what years transcription started. (7) Minimum transcription rate req u i r e m e n t s for passing grades. (8) Minimum dictation rate required to pass the course. 1950 Homecom ing Time Magazine Prints Letters of One of Best in College History Faculty Members , The 1950 Homecoming celebration started with a big bang. The giant pep rally, bonfire , and snakedance on Friday night paved the way for the big weekend. Saturd ay festivities began with the presentation by the Maroon and Gold band, under the direction of Mr. Charles Henrie and Mr. Howard Fenstemaker at 10:30 in the Waller Gymnasium. The band played the following selections: "Rep asz Band , " "Tzena, Teena , Tzena , " "March Independentia ," "New Ashmoli an Marching Society & Conservatory , " "Hoop De Do, " "The Thunderer ," "The Jolly Tar, " "Glory of the Gridiron ," and the "Alma Mater. " From 12:15 to 1:15, open house was held in the Waller Hall and North Hall dormitories ; visitors and students alike availed themselves of this opportunity to see the living quarters of friends and relatives. At 2:00 P.M., the H u s k i e s smashed Kutztown State Teachers College 35-0; the game, which was to have been the highlight of the "day, proved to be a holiday for the Maroon and Gold, who scarcely let the Golden Avalanche see the ball. A get-together in the Waller Gymnasium after the game gave alumni, visitors, students, and faculty a welcome chance to chat and renew old acquaintances. Refreshments of cider, coffee , and doughnuts were served. Festivities closed .with an informa l d an ce from 8:00 t o 11:30 P.M. Saturday night in Centennial Gymnasium. Music was furnished by Al Anderson 's orchestra. The aff air proved to be an overwhelming success, with what was estimated to be one of the largest throngs ever in attendance at a Homecoming dance. An honor has been bestowed upon two members of the college faculty . . . that of getting letters publi shed in Time magazine. It is quite a coincidence that both the letters should have been accepted for publication almost in the same issue. Dr. J. A. Russell sent the following letter of praise to the editors of Time for their superb biography of the greai: living American poet, Robert Frost: "Congratul ations to Robert Frost for having the excellent sense to choose such a Time-worthy biographer. Also to Time for having established such an all time high for lodging pebbles of American biography where future slingshooters cannot d i s l o d g e them." Time magazine replied with the following letter: "Dear Dr. Russell. Many thanks for the doublebarrelled congratulations on our October 9 cover story about Robert Frost. You were very kind in paying tribute to Time for the story. Since we thought we'd like to share your congratulations with Time readers, we're publishing (Continued on page 4) Sylvia Zaremba Receives Acclaim In Civic Music Concert Appearance Sen ior Class Meets To Approve Proposed 1950 Class Budget Young Concert Artist Thrills Large Audience With Fine Performance Sylvia Zaremba, popular nineyear old pianist, presented a teen At the recent meeting of the concert in the Bloomsburg High class of '51, action on two main School Auditorium at 8:30 p.m. on items of business was completed.

These indifferent individuals will feel that they do not have time or that their vote will not count. Possibl y the reason these people do not vote is that they spend so much time criticizing those who are in office. In last year 's election , a tie occurred between two candidates for Boroug h Council in Lycoming County. One vote either way would have made a great deal of 'difference in that borough. Most of us do not realize that voting as we know it is not just one of our rights , but a privilege—a privilege enjoyed in very few countries. Last year , veterans organizations did a great deal to influence people to vote for the veterans ' bonus. They could have done their country and themselves a great favor by getting the veterans to vote. Cast year in Pennsylvania , less than twenty-five per cent of the veterans were reg istered to vo.te and less than twenty per cent voted , despite the fact that the election greatly concerned them. People do not have to be conquered to lose their freedom. It can slip away by merel y surrendering their rights and privileges. When we fail to vote or vote carelessly, those who would misuse our government often come into power. When this happens, people think that the government is becoming sovereign. However , let us remember that it is not the government that becomes sovereign; it is individuals. But what is more important , we can always do something about it by exercising our voting power. (S.Y.) Soccer 's Future As a Varsity Sport The Community Activity Bud get for the school year 19511952 shows no allocation for the continuation of the soccer team. Is this a mistake—or does the college intend to drop soccer as a varsity sport? There are some who state that the interest in soccer is waning. These people are far from rig ht; there have been more students trying for a place on the squad this year than in any year past. We would also like to state that this year 's squad has one senior , two juniors , eight sophomores, and approximatel y fifteen freshmen. Do these facts indicate a loss of interest in soccer? There are others who say that soccer offers; participation for only a few. The soccer team carries a squad of twenty-two p layers , and there is seldom a game in which all do not participate. Both baseball and track carry smaller squads , and both have smaller participation! If we were to divide the cost of participation in which the twenty-two man soccer squad is allotted $900 and the fifty-five man Jootball squad is allotted $6 ,500, we would find that the cost per' man in soccer is $40.90 while the cost per man in football is $118.18. Soccer, baseball , and track show a loss because admissions are not charged. We re a l i ze th i s fact , but we also pay an activities fee so that we can have some participation in the sports of our choice. In closing, we would like to say that most of the men who p lay soccer come here to obtain an education , and that soccer is secondary in this respect. We play soccer because we enjoy playing it and because we know it is a fine sport. » Intramura l League Schedule Revised A conflicting schedule forced the officials of the College Intramural Football League to revise its setup. All games played previous to Monday, October 30, were cancelled. Here are the results of games played on Monday, October 30: The K.P.'s, paced by Williams and Barkley, d e f e a t e d Hausknecht's Fraternity, 13-6. Taylor and DIRico's stiff defensive play contributed much to the victory. Pfeifer scored Hausknccht's lone touchdown on a run. In the other contest, Navy managed to hang on and score a 20-14 win over Army. Rhoads ' completion of two passes to Kopec and Berry 's run gave Navy its 20 points. Johnson 's great passing ability kept Army in the came, His receivers for the two Army scores were Smith and Jones. On Tuesday, October 31, Army and the Coal-Crackers played to an 8-8 deadlock. Kennedy played well for the Coal-Crackers, while Von Drack. Creasy, and Andrews paced the Army team. The other game featured a highscoring contest as the Amobas won over the Roughnecks, 32-19.

DeVoe, instructor, made a trip to Williamsport to visit the Grit Publishing Company. The class was split into two groups to tour the plant. Each group was accompanied by a guide, who explained the purpose and workings of each part of the plant. The Grit Publishing Company actually has two businesses: commercial printing and the publishing of Grit , a weekly tabloid devoted to rural and small-town areas. At the time of this visitation , programs for a Penn State football game wore being printed and assembled. The tour of the plant , which required over two hours, included observations of: the linotype machines in operation ; the drawing and processing of Illustrations ; processing of half-tone and line cut illustrations; the processing of color Illustrations; the printing, assembling and shipping of the papers; and the commercial work involved in subscriptions and delivery.
