"Our Town," which will be staged Broadway «v several seasons ago, where it met huge success. Said the iNew York Herald Tribune's drama critic, "Clearly one of the events of the season—'Our Mown ' is both beautiful and touching. " When the pJay toured to Washington , D. C, the Washington Daily News reported , "Poignancy, plentiful humor, unwavering interest —one of the season's most curious and satisfying experiences. It has only been lately that "Our Town " has been released for amateur theatre. Since that time, however , the _ play has been very popular with" college and university dramatic groups all over the country . The last few weeks have been busy ones for casting of the production. Among those who will be in the cast are; Bud Herman, Bob Jewell , George Blyler, Oren Baker , Calvin Kanyuck , Jim Ciavaglia, Robert VonDrock, George Smith , Frank Dean , Tom Anthony, Nancy Unper, Jeanne Ru ckle, Laura Philo, Joanne Cuff , and Smoky Laubscher.

Senior Brochure Is Released by Placement Bureau The third annual placement brochure of B.S.T.C. seniors was delivered to the school administration officials during the past week. The booklet presents one hundred sixty-four seniors — fifty in business, forty-three in elementary, and seventy-one in secondary education. This year 's brochure is probably the most attractive one published by this school. The cover is a brilliant yellow and has an inset showing 'Dr. Kuster and a group from his vertebrate anatomy class carefully examining the delicate innards of the dog-fish shark. The idea of such a publication originated with President Harvey A. Andruss three years ago. Since the n, it has become an annual affair. Credit must be given to the Obiter staff , especially Marie Mattis who secured and set up the pictures of all the seniors. Along with each picture, there is a list of the activities in which the student participated while at Bloomsburg. A thousand copies of the brochure are now available for distribution through the placement service. Dr. Ernest T. Engelhardt has announced that copies have been sent to all school administrators in the service area of this institution. Other copies are furnished , upon request, to other employers. We can all be j ustly proud of the Bloomsburg brochure this year, because it is, without a doubt , the best in this state and one of the best in the country.

The Origin of Valentine 's Day A special day amon g the young and old in the early fourteenth century is still celebrated today in much the same way. What special day am I referring to? St. Valentine 's Day, usually known as just Valentine 's Day. Althoug h its origin is uncertain , it is believed that in early Roman times lads and lasses placed their names in a large box. They then drew names and it was "suggested" that a love affair should qrow out of their association during the year. When the Christian era came , this practice grew to be considered unchristian. A clergyman suggested that they substitute names of saints and match pairs that way. The youth and lass who were paired by this drawing method exchanged gifts. Later , the youth only gave a gift to the girl. It was at this point that the custom of sending cards came into effect, At first , only a few were sent, but now hundreds of thousands travel the world around, Valentines range in sentiment from expressions of deep devotion to the modern "comics ," which often approach cruelty in their brisk verses, Whatever the feeling, valentines have become our universal way of celebrating the birthday of this patron saint, Stresses Need for Great Moral Principles in Present World Situation Forty graduates of B..S.T.C, received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at the midwinter commencement held in Carver Hall auditorium, Thursday evening, January 18. The invocation was given by Fred W. Diehl, vice president of the Board of Trustees. Mary Lou Todd, accompanied by Mary Grace Aimers, sang "This Day Is Mine." Dr. T. P. North, Dean of Instru ction , presented the candidates to Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, College President, who conferred the degrees. Mr. Charles H. Henrie led in the singing of the Alma Mater. Mr. Howard T. Fenstemaker was at the console. The graduation address was delivered before a capacity audience by Philip F. LaFollette, former governor of Wisconsin, who used the them e "What of Our Future?" His message for the class was "Have faith in yourself , be openminded, think for yourself , and then stand by your decision." LaFollette blasted the repudiation of moral principles by our leaders since World War I, praised our Far-Eastern policy, and asserted that while he is a foe of communism he is more concerned about the men in Washington than about the men in the Kremlin. "Despite the frustrated world today, " said Mr. LaFollette , "I look to the future with confidence. The troubles we have today are the products of yesterday's mistakes." He asserted that the world we shall have tomorrow is the kind of world we are making now. The world needs leadership and the things which make this are courage, understanding, and , most of all, perspective. "Great material power without great moral principles cannot succeed," he continued. The frontier of our age, he said, is atomic energy, but he condemned the stress placed on destructiveness rather than the constructiveness of atomic oower. "Poverty, " said LaFollette," is inexcusable in an atomic age. Given the leadership, world peace can be achieved by the constructive use of this power." The speaker said that world leaders have given evidence, in all international relations since World • War I, of the repudiation of great moral principles. In illustration , he pointed out that Wilson 's 14 Points were nullified by the Versailles Treaty and the four freedoms of the Atlantic Charter were revoked by the Potsdam, Yalta , and Teheran agreements. Continuing, he said "Wo will lose our freedom only If we tolerate conditions that produce dictators , " One place in which America has been true to our principles is in the Far ' East, he pointed out. This policy was begun in 1898, following the conquest of the Phllip( Continued on page 3) Dr. and 'Mrs. Harvey A.

S.C.A. Sponsoring henten S ervice in Carver Auditorium Special Lenten services of worship and song are being held every Wednesday during the Lenten season j n Carver Auditorium, from 12:25 until 12:45. The pregramg are sponsored by the Student Christian Association , which is being assisted by the Lutheran Student Association, the Methodist College Fellowship, an d t he Knox Fellowship. The first service was held on February 7, with the program under the direction of the S.C.A. The service consisted of music and an address by Rev. Roselle, pastor of the Bloomsbure Baptist Church. These Lenten services have become an annual part of the Lenten season, being sponsored each year by the S.C.A. Strong student support of these programs is urged, in order that the Lenten season may be observed by interested members of the College community as a group. Fourteen Members Are Admitted to Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club held its regular weekly meeting on February 6 in Carver auditorium. Highlights of the meeting were the introduction of newly elected officers for the second semester, presentation of new members, and enactment of a one-act play.

The play presented during the meeting centered around a young college freshman who is thoroughly dissatisfied with the "babbitic characteristics " of his family and friends. He attempts to change them to his way of thinking; but, ironically, ends up by adapting himself to their manners and customs. The cast was made up of Max Kaplan, Jean Miller, Calvin Kanyuck, Mildred Pliscott, Nancy Heebner , and Shirley Search. George Smith directed the production. Survey Publi shed Mr. Walter S.

A great deal of the work of the C.G.A. is carried on by committees whose chairmen are chosen by the C.G.A. officers. The new furniture which has just arrived for the small Lounge was purchased upon recommendation of the C.G.A. Furniture Committee. Fred Rummage and Loretta Formulak are chairmen. The committee is now working on the problem of furniture for the College Lounge. One of the busiest of C. G. A. committees is the Assembly Committee with Michael Dorak and Barbara Sherman as chairmen and Joyce MacDougall and Elaine Gunther as secretaries. This student group meets with the faculty committee on assembly and evening programs. The student committee holds regular meetings to carry on its varied activities. The College Criers, David Jenkins and Francis Sheehan, were selected by them. John Burns is in charge of the Sergeants-at-Arms, who are on call during all auditorium programs. Organists are scheduled by Mary Grace Aimers. The popular talent programs are planned by Dave Newbury and Mickey Casula. A sub-committee headed by Leonora Macgill helps select movies.

N.S.A. stands for National Student Association; and whether you k now it or not , you are a member. The very f act t h at you are a student at B.S.T.C. makes you a member of this association of thousands of students in all parts of t h is country an d a num b er of forei gn nations. Membership to this progressive organization is not enjoyed by every college; many have failed to see the advantages of N.S.A., an d some have not used it to itg fullest advantages. B.S.T.C , in keeping with its tradition as a progressive institution , is at this time the onl y state teachers college in Pennsylvania belonging to IN. o.J\ . ¦ The chief aim and advantage of N.S.A. is *a continuous flow o f interc h ang ing ideas among different colleges. In this way it is ^possi ble to discuss problems with students of other colleges in an effort to gain valuable information on how these problems are met on other campuses. It also hel ps to keep a fresh flow of information on stu dent activities and entertainment coming on the campus. The principle of N.S.A . is to serve the educational community t h roug h t h e stu d ent government . N.S.A., a l t h oug h still a very young organization , h as earne d the respect of UNESCO , NEA , an d ot h er ' educational qrouns. The advantages of N.S.A. are as limited as the students on an y campus make them . The members of the N.S.A. committee on this campus have many ideas gained at a recent convention at Philadel phia that would do a great deal to improve B.S.T.C , but they can do nothing without your hel p. Whenever they ask your cooperation in a matt er , do your best and you will find it will be to your own advantage. Internatio nal Union of Students In December of last year an international student conference was held m Stockholm , Sweden. Representatives from twenty-one nati ons met to discuss means of international cooperation and ways to obtain closer contacts with students of Asia , Africa , an d South America. At this conference, Allard K . Lowenstein , president of the National Student Association , represented almost a million American college and university students. In an addressto conference leaders , President Lowenstein asked students of the free world to join in a program of cooperation among themselves and with students in colonial areas. The following paragraphs summarize the salient points of President Lowenstein 's Stockholm address : The international conference was designated a "practical " conference and was dedicated to the formulation of means to increase cooperation among students of the world and , through them to increase "good will and understanding among the peoples of the earth. " Mr. Lowenstein stressed the need o\ considering the political reality of world situations while trying to carry out "practical " proj ects. Conference delegates were asked to work toward making a contribution to peace in the world , since all the nations represented were peace-loving nations ; but they were urged to beware of that illusory peace which means only the absence of more violent forms of war . The International Union of Students was demerited for spreading untruth s and breeding confusion in the minds of peoples who live in backward areas where communication and government are undeveloped, Once seekers of freedom, these peoples, after being tilled with the distortions of the IUS information program , turn against freedom, All attempts at negotiations by students of freedom-loving countries with students of IUS end in failure. The IUS, whose policies are determined by the Soviet Unfon , cannot let negotia tions succeed because such action would challenge the sway of the Soviet Union in areas of the world where student opinion is especially crucial and where national destiny is not yet decided, The policies of the IUS give no promise of changing as long as the foreign policy of the Soviet Union does not change. Lowenstein stressed the need of education to instill into students ' lives those values that will put our great technical "knowhow " and modern scientific achievement to work as weapons for the amelioration and enrichment of lives of human beings throughout the world, He called on peace-loving students of the world to "meet terror with honor , malicious attacks with facts, and force with the weapons of truth , " (MBM ) Operation Dobriboli . . . We are sure that many of you of John Dobriboli, the Lithuanian of John Dobriboli , the Lituanian immigrant. A few B.S.T.C. students , among them John Buynak and John Klotsko, have , in the past, amused their listeners with the Dobriboli epic. We feel that under the pen of a skillful writer who knows him and speaks his language, John Dobriboli will be able to take his place next to Hyman Kaplan and other classic, humorous, immigrant , literary personalities. If you haven 't heard about John Dobriboli from the lips of Buynak or Klotsko , you have missed something really entertaining. We here attempt to tell you something of his story, in his own words , as related to us by John Klotsko. "I wa§ becawmin to dis cawntry 1910. I was beleavin Cryoo to go to Berlin.

We suppose that the Soviet defense is, of course, that the plumbers were volunteers, that they came into the Embassy in the interest of peace, and that there can be no further discussion of the matter until the union leaders withdraw from the picture. While on the subj ect of volunteers, we doubt that all of those Red Chinese gathered in North Korea because it is a popular place to spend a three-day pass. Tliuj; talk now In dictionary . . .

Macdonald , it is at the end of Fisher 's Alley ¦— one door from the office to which most studeijfs of B.S.T.C. finall y find their way during their college career. In a ddition to her duties as Assistant Dean of Women, Miss Macdonald is also concerned with the problems of the students, both sch ol astic an d per sona l , in her capacity as Guidance Counsellor. Graduating with a B.A. from the University of Michigan and an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University, Miss Macd ona ld taug ht Social Studies and Languages ( Latin and French ) in the Plymouth Township High School for two years and in the Berwick High School for nine years. From 1938 to 1942 , sh e was [ ho. Student Personnel Counsellor on the staff of the Dean of Women an d head of Residence Hall at Winthrop College, Rock Hill , South Carolina. While employed in that capacity, sh e was president of the State Branch of the Amgrican Association of University Women. Although Miss Macdonald enjoyed her soj ourn in South Carolina , sh e con f esses of drea ding to h ear t h e te l ep hone ring because of her inability to understand the different Southern dialects of which , according to her , there are about nine. Her next position was as head of residence in Hartl y Hall , Columbia University, but a call to the Navy in 1942 cut this position short; she was commissioned a Lieutenant (j.Q. ) and was stationed at Smith College , Stillwater , Oklahoma. While Lieutenant in the Navy, Miss Macdonald' s d uties were of a soci al nature , being director of publication stock section at Pearl Harbor. She was discharged from the Navy in 1946 and accepted a position as head of residence , Barnar d College , a post which she held for three years prior to accepting the position as Coordinator of Guidance Services at B.S.T.C. Incoming freshmen get to know Miss Macdonald because of her work in the Orientation classes and with the giving of the placement tests, but there are many in the student body who are not familiar with her work at B.S.T.C. A typical interview with Miss Macdonald is set forth in the following paragraph and can be had without the formality of being summoned to her office. Incidentall y, students should have no fear of seeing her when their names are placed on the bulletin board requesting their presence for an interview , because those who do very well in the placement tests are called in as well as those students whose profile shows a lack of understanding or weakness in the various fields tested. When the studen t enters her office , the friendly nature of Miss Macdonald is immediately felt. In order to relax the visitor and otherwise make the student feel free to confide in her , small talk is carried on; then the student 's profile is reviewed, in order to show him the pattern of the test responses as well as the total achievement. This of course does not mean that the total score has not value, but by itself it is rather inadequate, especially for guidance purposes. The tests given are definitely not a waste of time and provide the administration and teachers with valuable information. All students should be interested enough to seek information concerning their capacities in the various fields as charted on their profile. Miss Macdonald will welcome the opportunity to show students how they have done in the placement tests by means of their charted profile, Her main interest is in students who do not use their entire scholastic potential, It might be a step in the right direction if you were to visit room Number 82 , Noetling Hall before the close of school and talk over your problems.

Cheerio. p.S.T\C; Cager s Dro p One^Point Decision To Shippen sburg Coach Shelley 's basketeers, playing without the services of Walt Banull and Bob Andrews for the [firs t time in four years, dropped a tone-point decision to visiting Shipbensburg on Jan. 27 in an exciting 67-56 struggle on the Centennial f-ourt. was a nip-and-tuck affair all I It way, with the Huskies holding tlie khe upper hand throughout the first half and the Shippers showing the way following the interAt one point early in the Jniission. game the Huskies enjoyed a 12point lead. This was the result of some very accurate shooting that saw 5 of the first 6 shots drop th rough the hoop. Then the height of Bob Chubb began to show its ad vantage and- by half-time the Huskies lead had been chopped to a mere two points leaving a score of 28-26. Immediately following the intermission the Raiders from Cumberland County took the lead and were never headed after that ; the Huskies did manage to tie the score at 48 late in the game only to see the Shippers prevail. Bill Byham, with 15 points, and 1, carried the Don Bu tler , wi th 1 br unt of the Husky attack. Three of Byham 's seven field goals came in the closing minutes of the contest and enabled the Huskies to stay in the ball game. The foul sh ooting of the Huskies was very good , as they sank 10 out of 13 f<->" one of their best averages of the year at the penalty line. Big Bob Chubb gave a good account of himself as he played his last game before a Bloomsburg crowd. He finished the game with 26 points and proved even more valuable to the Shippensburg cause by controlling both backboards. The Huskies' record now stands at 3 wins and 6 defeats, but this should be improved, as all the hardest games have been played. g. fg. pts.

In the meantime, the opposition had scored 555 points, or 61.6 counters in each battle. While the Shellymen had copped only two of these decisions , three of the losses were inflicted by the margin of five points or less. Had the Huskies been able to tally four goals in the two_ Shippensburg battles, they could have netted the victories in both games; the final scores were 64-59 and 57-56, both in favor of the tall Red Raiders. Also of note in the first nine games was the lack of scoring punch against the powerful Bald Eagles from Lock Haven. In those two tilts, the Maroon and Gold could hoop only 77 points, or 38.5 tallies per contest . Lock H aven , on the other hand, totaled 132 markers, winning both decisions by twenty-five points or more. Reaching their scoring peak in the fray with Harpur, the B.S.T.C. boys dumped in 75 counters for the individual high season 's total.

Win Over Harpur Snaps Husky FourGame Losing Streak The Huskies ended a four game losing streak on January 17 when they defeated a scrappy Harpur quintet 75-68 at Centennial Gymnasium. The teachers garnered twenty-six counters in the third period which provided the necessary needed for victory. Chuck Daly racked up 20 points to pace the Huskies in scoring. He scored five of his 10 field goals in the third quarter. Dave Linkchorst and Buck Byham were the other two Shellymen who hit the double figur es, collecting 13 and 10 points respectively. Bateman led the losers with 14 tallies. Harpur, which is located in Endicott , Now York, made its first appearance on tho Maroon and Gold's sport' s calendar, During the first half , they looked as if they Intended to make their debut a successful one. The score at half time was deadlocked at 33 all. The game marked the final appearance of seniors Walt Banull and Bob Andrews, who have now graduated. Both men aided greatly in the Husky triumph. Banull concluded his college career by fouling out in tho third period. Daly Takes Scorin g Honors With 102 P oints in 9 Ga mes Butler and Thompson Lead Hus kies in Win Over Mansfield Coach Harold Shelly's basketeers started a new semester on the hardwood two weeks ago by playing an inspired brand of ball, only to lose to the tall Shippensburg courtmen, 57-56. The midget Bloom team faces the end of the season without the services of Walter Banull and "Smoky " Andrew s, who strolled the graduating path during the semester layoff. For the first nine games this season , the Husky scoring honors have fallen to "Chuck" Daly, who started slowly but is now rolling. He leads the pack with 102 points scored in nine tilts, for an 11.3 average.

Paced by Don Butler's fine 26 point effort, the Shellymen trailed only in the first half , then put on the pressure in the third and fourth stanza to cop their fourth decision in ten starts. Mansfield opened the first canto with an outburst of goals which netted them a 24-13 advantage at the end of the first quarter. With Jimmy Thompson and Butler ripping the cords during the second frame, the Huskies closed the gap, and the Mountaineers trotted off the floor at halftime with a 35-32 lead. With Butler and Thompson again shining in the third quarter, the Maroon and Gold dumped in 26 markers to Mansfield's eight to take the lead, 58-43 at the end of the quarter. Of the 26 Husky points tallied, Butler and Thompson tallied all but two. In the last six minutes of .the battle, Coach Shelly sent in the second team. Mansfield promptly cut the lead to 11 points with two and a half minutes remaining in the fracas. At this point, Bloom tried to freeze the ball, but was unsuccessful. The Mountaineers rallied to creep within six points, but the game ended, and the Huskies walked off the floor with the decision their first in three weeks. In the preliminary battle, Doc Wagner's proteges continued their winning ways by trouncing the Mansfield Frosh by a 50-39 count. Kopec led the local pups with 19 tallies. On Saturday night the Shellymen will travel to meet Kutztown. The powerful down-state squad has been winning consistently so they should provide much opposition for the Huskies. g. f g. pts. B. S. T.

Walt , as versatile a player as ever donned the Maroon and Gold basketball togs, led the way alon g with Ed Jones to the Huskies successful campaign last year, and before his graduation last month, he consistently made the Shellymen a threat on the basketball courts throughout this section of the state. In his debut on Saturday evening, February 3, Banull was held scoreless but was used for only a part of the Billies game. Here's hoping that Walt will make his pro career as successful as his past college career here on the Hill. m (Continued from page 3) BOX SCORE Harpur College Fetter, f Pi cciano , f Bateman, f Evans, c Kobylarz, g Hud ani ch , g Leney, g Totals g. 5 3 4 0 3 5 2 22 Totals f g . pts. 2-2 12 6-9 12 6-6 14 0-0 0 4-4 10 3-4 13 3-5 7 M.

Main Street . / Joe Cram . . ¦ The ¦'revolt at the small mid.western college had been a complete • success, and Joe Cram complacently chuckled to himself. He had led the students in an uprising and they had overthrown and conquered the fiendish enemy of all students—the faculty. Now things would be different , thought Joe, as he lit a cigarette with nis economics report. Joe propped his feet on the desk of the former president , leaned back in his chair, and blew smoke into the president's face. He then told the peasant president that he was dismissed until 4 a.m. At 4 a.m. Joe wanted his nails manicured. Joe then started his inspection of the school under the new regime. First he strolled up to the typing room where the typing instructor was surrounded by a group of students, who were rolling his nose through a typewriter. They then typed out FACULTY on his nose, so that everyone would recognize "what an uncouth heine he was. Joe then ambled toward the Biology lab. On his way he met the ex-dean. He returned the dean's salute, and walked into the lab. He found two lab instructors frying the lab lizard. "What' s going on here," screamed Joe. "We're j ust hungry, we haven't eaten for five day s," one instructor meekly said. "All right, but remember if you step out of line your limbs get stretched on the rack," said Joe with authority. The school has improved a great deal, mused Joe as he started toward Hapless Science Hall. "Faster," he cried, as he put the whip to another instructor who was carrying him piggy-back. The instructor quickly responded and they galloped down the path to Hapless Hall. Joe hitched the instructor to a tree, and sauntered into Hapless. He saw an English instructor digesting Homer. He was on page 234. He, too, must be hungry, thought Joe. Joe leisurely strolled into the auditorium where a psychology instructor was the guinea pig for an e x p e r i m e n t called "HOW TO STUDY with only your shorts on." Joe cackled with delight. ymi tiMiimiiiiiiiiiniiHHiMiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiitfiiiiiimiiiiiiiiit | Waller Hall News | Sm ¦ ¦ ¦ * ¦ ¦¦k k f c f t l A B A k B f t lIf ll l t l l A f ¦¦fl r i i f l f tl t f l I l l l i l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l t l l ^ Mary Ann Fink, a former day student from Berwick, has moved into the dormitory.

Reprinted from — s orset an "THE KEYSTONIAN" The question this week deals with a newcomer in the wild blue yonder : "What do you think about the so called 'Flying Discs' or 'Saucers'." James Ferdinand—"I think they are secret weapons—yet to be disclosed by the war department." Graydon C. Wood—"If the 'Flying Discs' are real, they are the best guarded secrets the United States has." Herman Funlt— "There are a lot of planets in the universe and some of them may have people that are more ' civilized than we are. Flying Discs could be j ust plain visitors." Thomas Johnson— "Read Frank Scully's book, 'Behind the Flying Saucers,' for the answer. They are real. " Ray Wagner— "Did you see the picture in the Columbia Theatre ? To me the Flying Saucers are real. Why would the air line pilots lie about such fantastic discs if they did not see them." Stan Aagiuird—"The people that saw them make me feel as if they are real. I think that they will be the planes of the future." Howard Marr — "The hundreds of people that have seen these discs can 't be mistaken. Therefore , if what they say is true, I believe these saucer-like objects will prove to revolutionize our mode of air travel or cause our destruction." June Long— "I t ' s extremely hard to tell. There are so many views and ideas. I am more inclined to agree with many that they are military secrets and actually exist."
