(Continued on page 2) Final Plans Drawn Up For January Commencement Student Teacher Comments On Use Of Tape Recorder "The use of a tape-recorder helped us immeasurably." This was the comment of student teacher Max Kaplan, whose 10th grade English class of the Bloomsburg High School yesterday presented a discussion program on "The College Hour," over station W.C.N.R. Through the use of the recorder, K aplan a sserted , the students were able to hear their own voices played back to them, and could detect faults of speech production of which they were unaware. When the pupils discovered their lackadaisical speech habits, t hey were eager to improve. They wanted to speak correctly when they spoke over the radio. The recorder helped greatly in the preparation of the program, Kaplan stated. "By listening, we found the dull spots and determined where to cut or lengthen the script," The tape recorder was used through courtesy of the Presby( Continued on page 4) Senior Calendar FRIDAY , JANUARY 12 2:00 P.M. to Caps and gowns will be distributed in Room K 5:00 P.M.

Scholarship Awards Presented to Five Students at Assembly Torry Ann Clorlltsky, vivacious and talented graduate of tho classi of 1950, was recently crowned December Quoon at the Sophomoret Cotillion. In the student assembly on Tuesday, January 9, scholarship awards were made to five Bloomsburg State Teachers College students. Dr. Kuster, chairman of the Scholarship Committee, introduced Dr. E. H. Nelson, president of the Alumni Association, who awarded the alumni scholarships. Dr. Nelson refused to let the occasion become one of seriousness and solemnity, and told several amusing stories about the past history of B.S.T.C. He also gave a brief history of the scholarships available to Bloomsburg students. The Alumni Association sponsors three scholarship awards: the Nolan H. Sanner Scholarship, the R. Bruce Albert Memorial Scholarship, and the Class of 1950 Memorial Scholarship. The Class of 1950 left eight hundred dollars to be used for this purpose. The President s Scholarship is sponsored by President Andruss from the sale of his textbook , "Business Law Cases and Tests.'1 The R. Bruce Albert Memorial Scholarship of one hundred dollars was awarded to Alice Quick, a sophomore in the Elementary Department. The Nolan H. Sanner and the Class of 1950 awards of fifty dollars were presented to Alfred Chiscon, a Secondary freshman, and Alex Koharski, also a Secondary freshman, Two President's awards of fifty dollars each were awarded by Dr. (Continued on page 2) iWaroon anb ®olb Speaking of. . .

The success of the collection of gifts and money for the annual "Kid s' Christmas" at B.S.T.C. is a direct tribute to the many students who worked to make it possible. Co-chairmen of the proj ect were Rosella Danilo and Helen DeCampi. Aiding them in publicizing the event were Jeanne Steinmayer and Anna Gengenbach. Letters telling the students what certain children would like to receive for Christmas were placed on the tables in the dining room and were typed by Peggy B o u r d e t t e , Peggy Fitzsimmons, Erma Bean and June Pichel. In addition to the gifts given by the students, a supplementary sum of money was collected to purchase presents for the children who did not receive any gift from the students having their names. The "Kid s' Christmas " committee arranged for gifts for each child in the Special Education class at the training school. They obtained a list of needy children in this area from the Child Welf are Organization and selected gifts for them. They sent gifts to the American Red Cross for distribution to children of deserving families. All remaining gifts were sent to the Salvation Army. The annual door-judging in Waller Hall to choose doors having the prettiest and most unusual Christmas decorations was held Monday, December 18. Here are the winners: On second floor first prize was given to Jeanette Traver and Nancy Gunton. On their door they had a snow scene on a green background, with large twinkly stars among the snowflakes. Shirley Walters and Shirley Yencha received second prize. On third floor , where the girls really captured the spirit of Christ^ First mas, four prizes were given. prize was copped by Lois Keiffer and Alice Quick. Their door featured a large Santa emerging from a chimney. Over his head was his traditional sleigh with the reindeer led by that celebrity, Rudolph. Second prize was awarded to Elvir a Thom sen, Barbara Harman and Eleanor Young; third prize : Margaret Haupt and Joan Kelshaw; honorable mention: Margaret Noll and Carmen Darby. Winning first prize on fourth floor were Barbara Hessert and Jeanne Krzywicki. They had a Christmas tree on their door, with an array of miniature gifts under the tree. Second prize went to Susan Hvasta and Jane Seeley. The smokers on each floor are sporting a new coat of paint — powder blue, no less. It's surprising how a touch of color brightens up old Waller Hall. What Do You Think ? by Robert Price Our question for this week is: "Do you think the United States should evacuate Korea?" Ed Campbell—Knowing that we cannot hold Korea without the needed reinforcements, we should leave Korea to make other strategic points more secure and save the lives of thousands of men. But we should remember that we left Korea, at first, only to allow them to unite by themselves, not to be overrun by Russian supported countries. In other words, we should return. Richard Ewing — I think we should not evacuate Korea, because it would inflate the morale of the Reds, and they would get bigger ideas. Bob Kishbaugh — If it would save lives, we should get out of Korea and establish a new defense line in Japan. George E. Blyler—We shouldn 't start anything we can't finish. Since we've started to defend Korea, we should continue to do so. Jim Joy—Why evacuate Korea? The spread of the Reds is too much now. Keep them above 38° parallel, yes, but not evacuate all of Korea. Remember Germany after 1918 to 1938, and you remember that the United States evacuated Germany too soon. Bill St o u t e n b u r gh — No, we should not evacuate Korea. All we should do is keep the Communists above the 38th parallel. Walter Worhaiz—No, the United States should not withdraw from Korea. Here is where the U.N. has to prove itself to the Asiatic peoples, who make up % of the population of the world. Ben Duke — Definitely—losing face is better than losing American lives.

Mr. Keller has offered a reward of fifty dollars for the animal alive or twenty-five dead. Many Columbia County hunters have been searching the countryside in quest of the animal, but none as yet have seen it. Inquiry around the College on the subject of the cat's ex istence in this area brought forth the following opinions: Leon Coval — I don't think it is anything at all, jus t people imagining things. George Williams — I definitely think it is a mountain lion — Keller 's word is good enough for me. John Kennedy — I think it is a bob cat. Christine Kreamer — Must be if people see it.
