New Plans Made
At Librar y Policy
C ommittee M eeting

On April 10, a meeting of the
Library Policy Committee was
held in the Day Men 's Lounge.
Along with ten faculty members,
three of our student body participate in the policy making of this
organi zation. They are Mildred
Mervi ne, Clifton Clarri flge , and
Max Kaplan. Faculty members on
the committee include Dr. Andruss, Dr. Herre, Dr. H. H. Russell, Dr. Wagner, Mr. Lanterman ,
Mr. DeVoc, Mrs. Beckly, Miss
Zealberg, Miss Muyskins, and Mr.
Gehrig. Dr. Herre is chairman of
the committee, and Mr. Gehrig
holds the position of secretary.
Discussed at the meeting was
the advisability of separating the
Audio-Vi sual Library from the
General Library. It was moved
and carried that the booklists now
issued to faculty members be posted in the library. Day Men 's room ,
and the Day Women 's room in
order to acquaint the students
with the acquisition, of new books.
It was mentioned at the meeting that encouragement be given
to students to utilize new library
¦materials through such devices as
short reviews of new books in the
Maroon and Gold. A motion was
passed to open the library as soon
as it is practicable after a short
assembly when such an assembly
occurs on a Tuesday.
During the regular college year,
it was decided that the library will
be kept open from 8:00 A.M. to
5:00 P.M. and from 7:00 P.M. to
9:00 P.M. Monday through Friday,
and 8:00 A.M. to noon on Saturdays through all college activities
other than assembly.
The committee also decided that
if student use justifies, the library
will be open from 9:00 A.M. to
4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday
and from 9:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M.
Saturday during the summer sessions.

Board of Trustees
Outlines New Fee
P ayment Policy

At a recent meeting of the
Board of Trustees, the following
policy was outlined concerning the
prepayment of fees for next year.
All students who plan to return
for the college year beginning September, 1951, and who are nonveterans, may pay a $10 Preliminary Enrollment Fee payable to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on or before May 31. Veterans may pay the $15 Activities
Fee made payable to Community
Activities at or on the same date.
These payments on the part of
the student body are to insure a
place on the enrollment list for
the next semester. After May 31
Dean North will begin to admit
other students, and students now
enrolled will have lost their priority. The acceptance or preliminary enrollment and/or activities
fees does not set aside academic
requirements as administered by
Dean North.

This Evening's D ance
Will Highlight Activities
Of "Better Lounge Week"
The College Community's dream
of . . . a gym floor innocent of
papers, cigarette ashes, and soda
straws; a lounge where students
know the value of the furnishings
and, hence, treat them carefully;
and a lounge where couples restrict their aff ection to holding
hands and gazing into each other's
eyes . . . may at last be realized.
From the evidence shown during
"Better Lounge Week," t he BSTC
lounge in Noetling Hall may really be developed into an attractive
and presentable social room.
"Better Lounge Week" which
began last Monday has been an
eventf ul project . On Monday, April 16, signs placed in various spots
in the Old Gym asked members of
the college Community to be considerate in caring for the lounge.
On the same day an appropriate
recording, advocating care of the
lounge, was played as college students entered the dining room for
the evening meal.
Tuesday's assembly featured a
dramatic skit in keeping with the
theme. Other f e a t u r e s of the

Bloom sburg Minera l Industries
by Joseph Papania

To many local citizens the idea of prospecting for minerals
has always been associated with the far-west and Alaska. It
should be of interest to everyone in this area that there could still
be possible wea lth and excitement in the rolling hills that surround
oloomsburg.
It is generall y well k nown t h at b ef ore t h e turn o f t h e century
bloomsburg was an iron town, producing iron products from local
iron ore. Later , h owever ,Jiuge iron ore deposits were unearthed
m nort hern Minnesota. This western are was of an extremely
high qua lity so that it soon became cheaper to transport ore from
t h at f ar away field than to use local ore.
1he Minnesota ore deposits put an end, at l ea st temporari ly,
to the iron business in Bloomsburg. There is , h owev er , always
the possibility that some day new and larger deposits of the valuable mineral may be found locall y. The two world wars have put
a terri fic dent in the nation 's ore suppli es an d t h ere al ways remains
the possibility that some time in the future when Minnesota 's
supplies are depleted Bloomsburg will once again be an iron town.
Another valuable mineral that was once mined near Bloomsburg was lead. Back in the 1800' s a man nam ed Truscott owned
the lime quarry at Almedia. Some very high grade lead ore was
found along with the limestone and for several years Mr . Truscott
attempte d to smelt the ore into lead. The ore was good and the
pig lead that was obtained was also of a high quality. The drawback was the lact that onl y small veins of the ore could be found
an d the large "mot h er " vein was never discovered. Today there
is a fortune waiting f or t h e person w h o can locate t h e "mot h er "
vein of that lead ore.
Severa l yea rs ago , almost overnight , the little mid-state town
of Renova , about seventy-five miles from Bloomsburg, became
famous the nation over. Great deposits of natural gas\
ere discovered there -against the belief of scientists who had studied the
gas situation east of the Mississippi. Now it is believed that there
might be oil in that same field.
Several tests were made around Bloomsburg f or natura l gas ,
but none was believed to be present. The experts, however , are
n ot a l way s ri ght and it could be quite possible that someday
natura l gas and even oi] may be found near Bloomsburg.
It has been said , "look to the future with hope. " Perhaps
none of these valuable minerals will ever be found locally, but it
is certainl y something to think about. There are more indications
of mineral wealth around Bloomsburg than there were in many
areas where the minerals were later found.

A Chair 's Life or My Father
Was a Bar Room Stool
Believe it or not , I once was a part of a tall majestic pine in
Canada. My mother was a piano leg and Dad succeeded in becomin g the sea t of a bar room stool. When they chopped me
down , few tears were shed , as very soon , I was to become a chair.
Now everyone knows that a chair has one life ambition.
Mainl y, to be sat upon .
For weeks, I was hacked , sawed, and jostled about. Then ,
after being cut up into large blocks, they transported me to a
fabulous New York salon. Here, a very eccentric woman found
it difficult to decide whether I should become a chair or one of
^ end tables. Rig ht then and there , I could
those "uncalled for "
have told her that I was destined to oecome a chair. Her excuse
for not using me for the table was that I had a flaw in my trunk.
As I was saying, weeks whizzed by while they prepared me,
Joe Leather and 1 were, to be paired ort as a team and become
a beautiful chair.
Tr ul y, I suffered. Those sharp nails didn 't just tickle my
surface. After what seemed like eternity, Mr. Crate, (an inferior
type of wood) was introduced to me. His scratchy arms tried in
vain to mar Joe 's beautiful surface and mine tool
Careful hands tossed me into a very lonely boxcar. I shared
my home several times with "fellow travellers. "
At last , my arrival in Bloomsburgl Ah, what a happy d ay.
I could breathe fresh clean air again. Mr. Crate and his friends
and the shavings were disposed of , while "ohs " and "ahs " were
heard.
My place was named. Cousin Sofa and I would help furnish
the college lounge.

What 's New ?
So, what could be new ? People
all over the world are laughing,
crying, loving, hating, living, and
dying. Millions of people wake up
in the morning, brush their teeth ,
have breakfast and go to work.
Millions of people — everywhere
looking out for his own interests,
playing politics, playing at being
gr own up, playing at being made
in the image of God , loving himself and stabbing his neighbor in
the back. Love thy neighbor—sure
— when it means money in the
bank. This is an advanced stage
of civilization ; we don 't have instincts anymore, j ust reflexes. Jonah lived in the belly of a whale,
ye ah , and Adam ate an apple.
Washington chopped down a cherry tree, and the Lord sure does
move in mysterious ways. So you
want to be a teacher—I'm sorry
buddy, this is a Protestant community—liberty and j ustice for all.
What we need is character training in the schools. What we need
is a good five-cent cigar. Do you
think Trum an did right ? How
come England is selling war materials to the Communists? You 'd
think they wanted a long-term
war on a limited scale to provide
them with a market. Couldn 't be
possible, could it? Read your history books. How come the government is burying potatoes when
millions of people are starving ?
There 's an economic reason. The
trouble is, thi s country 's ou t for
the industrialists ; Wall Street is
running the nation. What would
you do if a student threw an eraser at you? I refuse to answer on
the grounds that it migh t incrimin ate me. Why do you want to
teach ? I love children. I like to
eat — every day. People have the
wrong philosophy. They want financial security. Don't th ey know
that there are a lot of things more
important than money ? Yeah —
but it takes money to get hem.
Oh ju dgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts and what we need to
do is get back to God. Is there a
Santa Claus ? Yes, Virginia. I'm
right and you 're wrong and never
the twain shall meet. Who was
that lady I saw you with last
m*gh t ? So, what could be new ?
Things aren 't new — people are.

A Glimpse Into the Science Department

The Physical Science Division of the Science Department is
concerned primaril y with the teaching of chemistry and physics.
The laboratories in Science Hal] were installed in 1937, and today
are equi pped with standard and advanced Scientific apparatus.
Instructors in the science field are Dr. Kuster , Mr. Lanterman ,
and Mr. Shortess; a few courses in the science division are also
taug ht by Mr. Shelly an d Mr. Beeman.
Accor ding to these instructors , j ob opportunities for Physical
Science teachers ar,e excellent. Currentl y, thre demand is for general science teachers. If a graduate in this field finds that he lacks
interest in the teaching profession , it is possible for him to obtain
employment elsewhere. A recent example of this was the employment of several gra duates of B.S.T.C. by the American Radium
Company at Espy.
The ^subjects taught by Dr.
Kim ber Kuster are chiefly along
the botanical and zoological line.
Dr. Kuster , who attended BSTC ,
has contributed a great deal in
the scientific advancement of his
Alma Mater. He is constant ly
enriching the courses which he
teaches by adding new experiments. Recentl y t h ose stu den ts
enro lled in * the Embryology of
Vertebrates class made an interesting study of the incubating of
chick embryoes up to the seventy-two hour stage. Student interest in the study proved to be
verv hiah and. conseauentlv. this
study
will be continued in the
n
v
t.

Dr. Kimber Kuster
*
c . 7
ruture.
A few weeks ago Dr . Kuster entered the limelight when he
discovered a fully developed egg within another. Scientific work
with its many surprises constitutes a pleasureable occupation for
him.
Mr. Lanterman , who , like Dr. Kuster , atten ded B.S.T.C, in- .
structs college classes in chemistry and physics. Aside from his
teac h ing duties , Mr. Lanterman has become widely known for his
unusual hobby of growing orchids.
Mr. Lanterman displayed his enthusiasm in plant growth
at a y ery early age.. Eventually he had his own garden and ,
t h roug h his natural love for beauty, flowers became his prime
interest. It was not long afterward that he came in contact with
the orchid. When a florist presented him with an orchid , Mr.
Lanterman made an attempt to grow it in the sun parlor of his
home. He was successful in his feat , and his interest in the raising
of orchids began to expand. Today Mr. Lanterman is the possessor of thirty fiv e orchids of eight different genera.
In spite of the fact that he has received several substantial
offers , Mr. Lanterman has refused to commercialize his hobby.
Instructor in Survey Science at B.S.T.C. is Mr. S. I. Shortess
who came to Bloomsburg from Girard College in 1923. Although
he has been an instructor in the field of science for the past twenty
eigh t years , Mr. Shortess has never ceased to be fascinated by his
work and the changes which are constantl y taking place in the
scienti fic world.
Mr. Shortess has several hobbies to which he promises to
devote more time in the future. As he himself puts it , "I' m goi n g
to ri d e m y hobbies from now on. "
One thing in particular that he has promised that he will find
time for is oil painting. There has always been a certain amount
of artistic talent in his famil y, and Mr. Shortess is anxious to try
his hand at this art. He also has a wood-workshop in his cellar
which comes in for a share in the program.
Perhaps his most interesting hobby is music. When he first
cam e to Bloomsburg, he played the 'cello in the college orchestra.
Althoug h he gave up his instrumental music some time ago, he
still enjoys sing ing. At the present time , he belongs to the Kiwanis
Glee Club , the Presbyterian choir , and the Consistory Choir.
The Science Department with its efficient instruction and excellent equipment has not infrequentl y attracted an uncertain
student into becoming a science major.

Huskies Blast Bald Eagles 8*4
After Slow Start in Opener
Homers by Butler , Byham and Linkchorst

The lightning flash of the camera 's shutter has caught these four

soon be recorded with the start of another Husky track season.

The cr ack of t he bat , the scoop of the shortstop, the "long fly—yes ,
baseball season is here again. From the sandlots in the city alleys right
up to the maj or leagues, the diamond sport has begun for another seven
months of thrills and excitement. Here at B.S.T.C, this is no exception.
After wet grounds and rain postponed the campaign opener in WilkesBarre last week against the Wilkes College Colonels, the Huskies battled
the Lock Haven Bald Eagles on Mount Olympus on Wednesday. For
this first game as well as all the games on the card here at the college
thi s season , a star of the game will be picked by the sports staff of the
Maroon and Gold. We really have some fine stars in the making in this,
the 1951 addition of Robert Redman 's nine. It will be a difficult task to
select a standout for each tilt. However, from these result s of each
game, we will award in our way of thinking, the mest valuable player
of the year. Who do you think it will be ?
With little cooperation from the weather man, the Bloomsburg
track squad has had a difficult time getting into shape. By ducking between the rain drops, the Shellymen have had a few workouts in preparation for the campaign. In last Wednesday's meet , powerful Scranton
University provided the opposition for the Huskies. Tomorrow afternoon , the BSTC boys travel again, this time to Cheyney State Teachers
College. By some strange scheduling, the only home meet of the 1951
season will take place here on May first.
The baseball team will find it a busy weekend when they make their
initial road trip to meet Trenton , N. J. Teachers in a battle on Friday,
then journey over to Philadelphia to meet Temple University on Saturday . This is the first time in the history of the College on the Hill that
the Huskies have played Trenton. Last year, a game was scheduled with
Temple at Temple, but once again dame rain stepped into the picture
and ruined the very attractive road trip when both West Chester and
Temple were to provide opposition for the Redmen.
The intramural softball league began operations for the season this
week. Team lineups are now in the hands of Dr. Wagner, and the schedule is being set . . . The tennis courts are now worked into shape by the
efficient college ground crews, and the courts will soon be ready for the
net kings of the campus . . . Because of the lack of interest, the proposed ping pong tourney was cancelled . . . Recent grad , Bobby Kashner
from Bloomsburg has just completed his first season as head basketball
coach at a nearby high school. The season was a success too, congratulations . . . Jimmy Thompson, Kane athlete , was another local lad to
pass Uncle Sam's physical . . . Walter Banull, Husky hoop star before
his graduation in January is now a member of Uncle Sam's army boys.
Walt is stationed in Kentucky . . . Danny Litwhiler, former Cinci n n att i
baseball star , is at the present time a coach for the Rhinelanders . . . .

What Do You
Think?
by Ilobert Price
With every baseball fan picking
the World Series opponents, someone has to consider the other end
of the ladder. Who will fail to
come through during the long
season ? The question for this
week is, ""What two teams will finish in the cellar in the American
and National League?"
Al Kublk : "Not being an authority on the subj ect , I can guess
perhaps the Pittsburgh Pirates and
the St. Louis Browns will control
the cellar positions."
William Fisher: "I'll go along
with the so-called experts — the
Browns will hold up the American
League while the Pirates will do
that chore in the senior league. "
V. S. Vukcevtoht "National
League — Pittsburgh ; and American League—Browns."
Dan Welker: "The Brownies in
the American and in the National
—Chicago. Pittsburgh can't be as
bad as last year."
Richard Locke: "I am not an expert , although my predictions last
year were 80% correct. The Philadelphia A's and Cincinnati Reds.
George Kallonbacli: "The way it
looks to me the A's and Pittsburgh will finish in the cellar."
Bob Austin: "The cellar holders
will be Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Athletics."
Joe; What kind of a guy is your
roommate ?
Moe: Well, last night he stubbed
his toe on a chair and said, "Oh,
the perversity of inanimate obj ects?'

^ Better Lounge Week *
Marked by Dramatic
Skit in Assembly
A program in keeping with the
theme of "Better Lounge Week"
was presented in Carver Auditorium on April 17 during the regular
assembly period.
The principal part of the program was a dramatic skit enacted
by nine young ladies of the freshman class. The actresses showed
the wrong way to act in the college lounge. Papers, soda bottles,
cigarette ashes, and other debris
were scattered about the stage
floor to illustrate the poor sight
which is produced by improper
care of the lounge. Taking part in
the dramatic skit were Marlene
Wetzel , Shirley Reisenweaver ,
Mary Ledyard, Betty Vanderslico,
Sally Watts, Mary Ann Martz ,
Carmen Darby, Pat Boyle, and
Marie Parish, Narrator for the
program was Marge Morgan.
Also in keeping with "Better
Lounge Week , " several records
were played to permit college
community members to listen to
what B.S.T.C. students had to say
about the lounge problem. Among
the voices heard were those of
Dan Parrell , Kitty Mitchell, and
Russ Looker.
Donald Murphy , student teacher
at Bloomsburg High School, gave
his class a surprise test. He asked
them to define specific gravity and
tell the source of the information .

The Huskies got off to a slow

afternoon; but aided by some
heavy hitting, they were able to

a well deserved win. Home runs
by Butler, Byham, and Linkchorst
proved too much for the weaker

President Truman , who was to
throw out the first ball at the
Washington opener, really needed
the practice. Harry hasn't had too
much success with his pitching
lately. He's had more trouble getting the ball over the plate the
past year than ever. For some
reason, his curves refuse to break ,
his spitter appeal's to be effective
only against music critics, and he
has a nasty tendency to reply, "No

arm okay ?"
Scoop . . .
We have it on good authority
that there will be some big doings
on May 10 sponsored by the combined efforts of the day and dorm
men. The attraction on the evening of this date will be a semiformal dance to be held in Centennial Gym. Music will be provided
by Lee Vincent and his orchestra,
and r/o admission will be charged.
Rumor has it that some dorm
men want to have this a strict
formal with all the trimmings. On
the other hand, some of the day
men are advocating a sport or informal dance. When the idea of a
full formal was presented to some
dorm girls, one replied : "What!
The dorm, men want a formal ?
Why, some of them think that it's
terrible just to dress for an ordinary date." Be that as it may,
we've given you almost a month's
notice so hop to your favorite
feline and make with the smooth
talk. If you've no favorite, just
drop in on any convenient port in
a storm.
A suggestion . . .
Now that we have completed a
"Better Lounge Week," why don't
we inaugurate a "Better Lounge
Month" ? This would carry us to
j ust about the end of the semester.
Surely everyone of us will benefit
from the better conditions thus
produced.
Thought for the week . . .
There is no point to seeking advice unless you are going to take
it.

of the price in dollars and cents
of a new piece of furniture displayed in the lounge.
Prizes for the contests were

were Mrs. Beeman and Mr. Henrie.
According to observations, it is
believed that , through this recent

of the significance of the lounge

has come to realize the importance of keeping the lounge in good
condition.
