Dr. Leland Crabb, Famous Author, Speaks in Chapel Obiter prediction for Eleanor Sands Smith comes true. Obiter Prediction For Eleanor Sands Smith Comes True Eleanor Sands Smith , poetry editor of The Morning Press and a graduate of B.S.T.C , class of 1928, has completed a manuscript of poems to be released before spring. Entitled "St. Martin 's Summer ," the book will be published by Falmouth House, Manchester , Maine. Fifty or sixty of Mrs. Smith's favorite poems written during the past twenty-flve years will be included. "St. Martin 's Summer" will be in the mood of autumn , a season which stron gly affects the author. A. M. Sullivan, president of the Poetry Society of America , has commented that Mrs. Smith's new work "is a very original contribution to our treasury of lyric poems." Another critic has stated that "the collection gives me the kind of thrill that I knew in the early 1920's, when the fine , new poets of our Golden Age were first making their appearance, " While a student at B. S. T. C, Mrs. Smith was highly active In (Continued on page 4) On Oct. 11, Dr. Alfred Leland Cx*abb, noted author, lecturer, and educator honored B.S.T.C. with a return visit to our campus to address the faculty and students. Dr. Crabb, who is Editor of the Peabody Journal of Education , delighted his audience with stories and historical facts concerning the various novels he has written. Some of his novels which can be found in the college library are : Dinner at Belmont , Supper at the Maxwell House, Lodging at the Saint Cloud, Breakfast at the Hermitage. A few of his other novels are : A Mockingbird Sang at Chickamaugua, A Reunion at Chattanoaga , and Home to the Hermitage. His novels deal with the Civil War and the Reconstruction Period following it. He is also the author of numerous interesting articles in various educational periodicals. Dr. Crabb has recently completed a new novel called "Home To Tennessee, " which will be published in the near future. Dr. Crabb has studied in many of the colleges and universities t h r o u g h o u t the nation , among them the University of Chicago, Columbia Teachers College, and the University of Kentucky. At present, he is Professor Emeritus at George Peabody College for Teachers. His name can be found among the important men mentioned in Who 's Who in America. During his recent stay at our campus, Dr. Crabb visited some of our classes and discussed with the students the art of writing. The point which he greatly stressed was the fact that a person cannot expect to do something perfectly the first time. It takes great effort to reach a chosen goal, While visiting with us, Dr. Crabb stopped at the library and wrote some passing thoughts in copies of his books that are in our library shelves. His comments were : "How lovely is Pennsylvania" and "Nashville bows low to Bloomsburg." Need we a better tribute ?

Hundreds of alumni and college friends are expected to return to the campus for a day filled with colorful activity. For the first time in recent years, Bloomsburg merchants have planned to cooperate with college a u t h o r i t i e s in decorating their shop windows and stores in keeping with the Homecomin g theme. A full schedule has been prepared for the occasion. At 11 A.M., the Maroon and Gold band will present a concert in Waller Gymnasium. After the concert, a cafeteria luncheon will be served in the college dining room. Homecoming Day is the one day of the college year when the dormitories hold Open House. North Hall and both the men's and the wom en 's sections of Waller Hall will be open for visitation and inspection after lunch. This opportunity to see "how the other half lives" is always one of the most interesting features of Homecoming. The highlight of the afternoon will be the football game between B. S. T. C. and Shippensburg on Mount Olympus. The kickoff is set for 2:00 P.M. This game is expected to be the Huskies' closest battle of the season, and i t shou ld provide everyone with more than his share of thrills and excitement. The game with Shippensburg on Homecoming in 1949 resulted in a close 14-13 victory for the Huskies. Following the game, visitors and friends will have an opportunity to meet in an informal get-together (Continued on page 4) Paula A, Raymond In commemoration of the golden anniversary year of the motion picture industry, B.S.T.C. was honored recently by a brief visit of two Hollywood celebrities, actress Paula Raymond and producer Carey Wilson, Both Miss Raymond and Mr. Wilson briefly addressed the student body.

Pennsylvania Week Pennsylvania Week , proclaimed each year for the past six years , was originated to make known to Pennsylvanians, as well as to ot h ers , the potentialities and attractive features of the state. Of course , you have heard of it , rea d a b out it , but did you ever really think' about it? Many of us are always talking about this or that state with all its beautiful scenery. Drive throug h Pennsylvania , and you will see some of the nicest scenes in all of these United States. We too , have little picturesque towns and quaint customs. Too often , we do not notice our own assets because our eyes are ever looking for the "greener grass on t he ot h er side of the fence. " Lots of eyes in other states are looking with delight at our green hills and valleys. Pennsylvania is especially beautiful when garbed in her fall custom , so rich and colorful. Let us not forget that our state has played a large part in some of the most important events in American history. I t was in Philadel phia , Pennsylvania , where the Declaration of Independence was si gned. And our folklore is as rich as is our historical backgroun d. Think of Lancaster County and her colorful heritage. You and I and all the other thousands of Pennsylvanians are too ready to take these things for granted. Did you know that Daniel Boone, the hero of the American frontier , was born in Berks County? And that Pennsylvania was first issued the proclamation of Thanksgiving by the Continental Congress? We are inclined to overlook these facts , b ut peop le from other states consider Pennsylvania of foremost interest because of her place in American history. Our schools are classed as progressive. They have been progr essive f rom t h e ver y beginning, as is fitting for a progressive state. Our ideas and methods have spread across the borderlines of many states. Pennsylvania has more schools and colleges than any other state. Althoug h you may never h ave t h oug ht about it seriously, sit down and think of it now. It is a wonderful state with a wonderful future. Observe Pennsylvania Week and learn about your home. Pennsylvania is a great state . . . be like a Texan . . . brag about it. IT'S WORTH IT! Fir e Disaster Leaves Waller Hall in Ruins "When the sun rose this morning, it looke d down upon a large heap of charred ashes that only yesterday was Waller Hall on the campus of B.S.T.C. The cause of the terrible fire , which at 11 p.m. last night swept through the building without warning , has not yet been determined; but it is believed tc have originated on the first floor in the section known as the old gvmi Fortunately, no lives were lost , thanks to the many well-conducted fire drills held many months previous to the disaster. " Now hold on a moment before you call the editor and inform us that we have printed a terrible mistake. We express a most ardent hope that such news will never have cause to be printed. Yet , we must face reality. It could happen! Not somewhere else; * not to other people; but to us , th e students of B.S.T.C. These are not beautiful thoug hts, nor are they intended to be. Even though they sound harsh and unreal , it is easier to face them in our imagination than in stark reality. Let 's do something now while we can; then we won 't have to lament our losses after it 's too late to do anything but blame ourselves for what we didn ' t do before. Perhaps you 've said to yourself , "I' m not a firebug. I wouldn 't set fire to a dog house, let alone a college. Besides, fire is fire. It can happen anywhere and there 's nothing I can do about it. " But think a minute. You 're mature men and women now and college students. When you stop to think , wasn 't that a pretty foolish statement? Oh , of course , you wouldn ' t set fire to anything , and we cannot dispute the fact that fire is fire. But it doesn 't "jus t happen. " Fire is»caused! Caused by our carelessness, our neglect , and our refusal to see what we are doing. We 're not children anymore, We are full y aware of the millions of dollars that have wended their way skyward in a clou d of smoke. Do you want your dollars to join that doomed procession to the 'cemetery of no return? " We needn ' t wait for an answer to that question. Only a fool would say "yes " and fools don 't go to college. However, don ' t add the condition "but , there 's nothing I can do about it anyway." That 's where you are dead wrongs-more wrong than you ever were in the toughest exam. In fact , YOU are the only one who can do anything at all, We 're not going to tell you to put your cigarettes out before tossing them away, not to overload the power line, or not to light matches in the dorm, You 've been told many times before , and we leave it to your common sense to obey these rules made for your own benefit. The incident which closed our college lounge speaks for itself. Some of us have grown lax , but in this case we can 't relax our vigilance for a moment, Our enemy is ever at hand, ready and waiting for a chance to strike. Be good soldiers; defend what is ours so that B.S.T.C/s buildings may live to a "ripe old age. " We 're not lecturing you nor telling you, We 're asking you, pleading with you, not to throw away our dollars with your care( ab) lessness, • WALLER HALL Waller Hall has been bustling all week with the annual preparation for the big Homecoming weekend. Members of the Governing Board and their proctors will serve as a hospitality committee during Open House on Saturday. The girls appointed as proctors for this year are Prisciila Abbott, Grace Heppe, Fluff Meptz , M adge Felker, Barbara Sherman, Anna Bittner, Mild red Mervine, Jeanne Miller, Midge Wrzesniewski , Mary Jo Williams, Ann Conwell , Elaine Ohlman, Mickey Macgill, Doro t hy Wa tki n s, and Mary Condon. The art committee has directed the work of making the door insigaias for all the doors in the girls' dorm. The insignias will designate Governing Boai'd membe r s, persons serving on the numerou s com m ittees , and this year's seniors. The freshman girls, as part of their hour's servi ce to the dorm (a tradition al part of Waller Hall Customs for the initiation of freshmen), made autograph books for each dorm girl. This year's autograph books are in the form of footb all shoes, in keeping with the fall season. The art committee is composed of Anna Kornfeld , ch airm an , Pat O'Laughlin , Sara Jane Hoffman and Peggy Haupt. The Waller Hall members of the Customs Committee were Fluff Mert z, Madge Felker, Wilma Jones and Erma Bean. . They conducted several days of special customs regulations for the freshman girls in the dorm. As part of the tradition of the frisndly college on the hill , counsellors were appointed in Waller Hall to welcome new students and do all possible to make them feel at home. Doing an excellent j ob as counsellors this year are Nancy Unger and Peggy Lou Noll, cochairmen , Irene Endler, Dorothy Watkins , Liz Pattern , Betty Speal, and Rosemary Snierski. Ila Mae Coursen is counsellor in charge of transfers. Publicity for Waller Hall is in charge of Mildred Mervine, publicity chairman. S TRI CTLY F OR CO-EDS by Mary Lou Todd According to some of our fashion experts, dyeing and tinting the hair has become an everyday occurrence and almost a necessity, in this day and age. A few of the girls at B.S.T.Cl have tried what is called a Color Blend. It's a delightful mixture of peroxide, dye, and the color blend solution. There happens to be one little catch , however; you can get it done only by your beautician. If you 're wondering just how long it lasts, the answer is ap p r o x i m a t e l y three months. If you 're in the market for a change, this may be what you 're looking for. Now for several attractive outfits we've seen around campus. Midge Wrzesniewski wore a neat steel-gray wool j ersey dress with a sweater cuff effect at the neck and sleeves, It had 27 tiny pin tucks in front , giving it a bib, pattern , with a large belt and full skirt. Midge topped it off with a few dainty scatter pins. I noticed Joanne Heisley has a neat black shepherd's plaid corduroy vest, This adds a touch of color to any outfit. Perhaps you 've also seen Joanne's yellow corduroy j acket and hat to match. Makes quite a slick combination ! Pat O'Loughlin looks quite collegiate with her navy and white outfit. It has a straight navy skirt with a front kick pleat, topped with a white wool-j ersey blouse with cap sleeves. Add a touch of navy to the sleeves and a small pointed collar, sprinkle on a few white pearl buttons, and you 're all set for a day of compliments! Ruth Ann Montague has one oft those new scotch-plaid corduroy j ackets. The huge blocks of rod and green are separated by pencil stripes of yellow. A snappy row of gold buttons down the front make it one of these j ackets we all give a second admiring. Oh, yes, I should have mentioned .before that you can change the style of your hairdo for evening wear. Comb it back behind the ears and place a rubber band around it to hold all the hair securely. Then, roll it in curls and keep it in place with an invisible net. For those who have short hair, there is a remedy. Many fashion-conscious women have bought a chnon and find it j ust the thing to make you a changed woman by evening. In some cases, . . .. SPEAKING OF OPERATIONS by Calvin Kanyuck Excuse . . . Every columnist (meaning at least me) is plaqued before each deadline with the q uestion , "What shall I write?" At times it's hard to find even the slightest excuse for a column's existing at all. I hope that by the time you have read to the end of this rubbish , this column will have had some excuse for being. Howdy . . . Since this is the Homecoming edition of the M and G, I should like to extend the Operational welcome to all alumni, friends, and guests who have had the courage to turn here from the first page. Scoop . . . In about three weeks, look for some big doings which are to be sponsored by the day men. It is about time for their annual pep r ally, square-dance, and cider drinking party. From reliable sources comes the info that November ninth will see a bigger and better affair than the day men have ever had in the past, if that is possible.

Both my parents were teachers and so I feel that my heredity and environment are suited to the teaching profession." Eleanor Novick—Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

I also think that I'll have a chance to develop a broader social life and I'll get a chance to learn how to live with and get along with people." Jean Kachi—Farrell , Pa.

Eleanor Balent—Dupont , Pa. Business Curriculum : "Here at Bloomsburg I expect to get a chance to secure a broader education in order to fulfill my life-long desire — to be a good teacher. I feel that Bloomsburg has the facilities to offer me this opportunity."

The foremost progressive genius of modern music is making an appearance in Scranton the twentyseventh of this month. For those of you who are progressive j azz enthusiasts, Stan Kenton is introducing his "Inn ovations" concert. A word before criticism: Stan Kenton must be listened to more than once or twice to be understood. Modern music is an innovation ; S. K. is an innovationist. Several B.S.T.C. students plan to attend t his concert , and their reactions should be interesting. If any of you readers are interested in attending this concert, why don't you shop around? You may find someone who can furnish transportation to this event. $64 . . . Since the fir st issue of the Maroon and Gold, I've been questioned many times about a certain item. For the benefit of those who have asked or who have been thinking of asking, I have answered the question publicly here. That cut or drawing that appeared at the head of this column last year and last week was drawn by B.S.T.C.'s own budding Al Capp , Phil Search. Last year, when in dire need for seme illustrative ma* terial for the column , we turned to Phil. He was most obliging, and his handiwork has been with us until thi s week. However, time not only marches on, but it also brings changes, and headings change with the times. Maybe??? Last week y ours truly had the dastardly idea that his general scien ce stud ent s were not re ading their assignments. As a check, he gave an unannounced quiz on the lesson for the day. One of the questions asked was: "All matter exists in three states; what are they?" The correct answer is: solid , liq u id , and gas. But one enterprising student wrote on the test paper: "Pennsylvania , Greece, and I'm not sure of the third one." Evidently she knew Pennsylvania Week was coming up, and she wanted to get in an early plug for her home state. Thirty . . . Well, offhand I'd say that I've come to the end of my rope for this week.

A strange hush fell over the students as they looked her over and tried to figure out j ust how much she would allow them to get away with and how hard \ she would expect them to study, j Then, from the back of the room, i a voice was heard to pipe "What's \ a slick chick like that doing in a i classroom ?

Now, Dad and the men who operate our state government are reasonable and understanding men.

Yet, they cannot bo blamed If they feel cheated after spending their hard-earned dollars educating a young lady in the fields of paycho(Continued on page 4) Powerful Red Raiders Oppose Huskies Saturday Shippers Travel Here for Biggest Test of Season The banner attraction of Homecoming Day, Saturday October 20, is a gridiron tussle pitting our hither-to-fore undefeated Huskies against a once-beaten, but giant and aggressive, band of Shippensburg Red Raiders. The charges of Coach Vint Rambo are determined to get revenge for the humiliating 26-7 defeat they were dealt last year before a large Homecoming crowd at Shippensburg. In the past, the boys from Cumberland County have proven themselves very worthy opponents and this year 's battle promises to be one of the most outstanding contests of the heated rivalry.

There's no place like home, even when it's the home college. Some j oker defined home as th place where you can scratch wherever it itches. Be that as it may, there are a lot of Alumni with an itch to get back on The Hill on October 20. Add to these a whole passel of visiting mamas, papas, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, friends, and gatecrashers, stir the whole mess together with a football game, free cider , a big dan ce, lots of noise, and band music, and you have a glorious hodgepodge called Homecoming Day. One of the biff currents . . . One of the big currents on the campus today is the one called the draft. Men students find this factor looming on the gray horizon like a perpetual mid-semester exam. As things outside our little collegiate world become more and more messed up, this particular current is going to cause an increasing effect in every phase of campus life . From varied bull sessions and off-the-cuff reports, this columnist (Senator McCarthy, please note : The word is columnist. ) observes that the draft has already colored student attitude on grades. In some cases it has taken about half the "whole " out of wholehearted effort. This isn 't ordin ary indiff erence, eith er , and it can't be stopped by ordinary pep talks from deans and instructors. It's difficult for a student to concentrate his best efforts on his studies when he feels that he may not be around to graduate. Pushing the neck out a bit further , I might even go so far as to offer the Newbury theory on the whole ruckin ' mess. It's a matter of setting an objective. When the future is mucked up so that you can't see a distant obj ective, set a closer one and work like all get out to reach it. Perhaps we should be more grasping and try to get all we can while we can. At any rate, let's not sell ourselves short. Another thing that might aid the potential draftee 's peace of mind is knowing what is going on in the world today. If we understood more about the world tensions tha t make measures like the draft necessary, we will be better able to make the decisions necessary here in college. Now I'll crawl down off the pulpit for another week and let the fog settle comfortably back. Whether the rest of the state realizes it or not . . . Just between you, me, and the nearest football poll, I figure that "Daddy " Lang is this year 's B.S.T.C. bet for All State back. Anybody who'd care to argue the point didn 't see the lightning strike Millersville last Saturday. Cultural history was made . . . Monday night the downtown Concert Program featured the Na^ tion al Male Quartet. They were somewhere on the far side of terrific. The unoffi cial word is that for the first time all the student tickets available were used. It was obvious that the program was a success; the audience kept calling for a number named "encore. " Current Slanguage . . . One of the current expressions on the campus which suffices for nearly any occasion involving repartee and which seems to dampen the more expert masters of acid wit is, "mice try. " The inflection 's the thing. Depending on how you say it you can get all kinds of trys. For further information on this matter consult the local master of the hackneyed phrase, Ray Raabe. An advance and unofficial notice . . . My A. R. system (Authoritative Rumor) shoots in the info that the Varsity Club Drag will feature a reasonable facsimile of the perennial sport called "Queen Choosing. " There 's something ageless (or should I say youth inspiring) about selecting a pretty girl from amongst a mess of other pretty girls. One thing sure, there'll never be any complaints from this sector when feminine pulchritude is being mulled over. Fact is, I've had a twinge of regret ever since the Obiter discontinued their Miss Co-ed Contest which ran for the amazing length of one consecutive year (yes, I know you can't have less than two consecutive years). * * * * Lack of time , spa ce , and ambition force me to sign off for the week. Well, It 's All Over Now Does It Pay to Educate P retty Girls (Continued f rom page 2) logy, science, math, and so forth , when the young lady herself apparently has other ideas of success. Father Time must also come in for his share of attention when considering the problem at hand. The greatest thinkers the world has ever known have -all agreed that life is but a short race quickly run. The four years spent in learning the art of instructing, when expressed mathematically , represent one-sixteenth of our normal life expectancy. Can the young lovely herself ' aff ord that much time to obtain what she really has no use for anyvyay ? Today , more than ever before, the classrooms have "Help Wanted" signs dangling from the doorknobs. When the demand becomes greater than the supply, our educators have a hair-graying pi-oulem on their hands. Every studdent in the teaching field becomes a vital part of the solution to that problem, and the ed ucators await the day when the degrees are contered almost as eagerly as the students themselves. To become suddenly aw are of the fact thai many of the young ladies are entering the field of matrimony rather than the field of teaching leaves them almost where th ey started from , and is enough to make their hair rail out. Not only are they lert without teachers to fill the vacancies, but they have allowed these students to use up space in the classroom, and take up the instructor' s time, all to no avail. At ' this point , however,' the defense will present its side of the story. The facts heretof ore presented would make it appear that marriage is the end or teaching. Actual re cords prove this theory to be entirely without basis. Many people have gone so far as to state that a married woman is a tar better teacher than a single one because she is more understanding and has a better sense of humor. However , our problem is not whether or not a school teacher should make the trip to the altar. Whether or not the students are willing to admit it , they copy a great many things from their teachers during early childhood and youth. Surely our citizens of tomorrow should not be expected to copy these things fom persons who have gone into teaching for the simple reason that they were not qualified to be models or pretty secretaries. Is beauty one of a teacher's qualifications ? We are inclined to believe it is. There is, however, more to beauty than j ust a pretty face. It includes personality, charm, manners, appearance, poise, taste, and an active interest in human nature. The prettiest face canno t cover up the absence of any one of these important factors. Surely the example from which our youth will consciously or unconsciously copy much ot their behavior, should be the best possible example. Just for a moment , let us look at it from the student' s poi n t of view. One of the most important requisites of learning is the desire to learn , and it is part of the teacher's duty to create that desire. Is it not only logical that a student would rather work hard to please a cheerful and attractive teacher than for a crabby , souifaced one 7 The facts, w h e n assembled, speak for themselves. Our classrooms need "slick chicks." Many of today 's best teachers were once pretty campus co-eds.

Arnie Garinger, Roy Wayne, and Allan Wolfe honored the crowd with a selection played on toy instruments. It wasn't the football field that John Panichello, George Masanovich, and Bob Rainey were playing on , but the floor of the old gym ; the boys pushed tomatoes down the floor with their noses. A rain storm invaded the trial as Lynn Goodell provided rain , with Charley Davis as the unh appy victim. To illustrate the fact that time is an important part of college life , Ed Connolley sat on top of a ladder and called off the correct hour and minute every thirty seconds. Everyone got a free "ligh t" from lollipop-sucking Cy Dougherty and Rita Gydosh. When the last violator had served his sentence, Dick Powell closed the tri al , and dancing took place. Shippers Travel Here for Biggest Test of Season (Contin ued from page 3) strong point and one or two touchdowns were margin enough for victory. The high-powered offense that the Huskies have shown in their first three games is as good if not better than the offensive fireworks displayed by the undefeated eleven of 1948. There certainly was no finer array of backfield talent on the latter squad than can be found on the present team. The line has shrunk considerably in size and this is probably the main reason for the shifting of emphasis from defense to offense, and the results to date are very encouraging. All Homecoming alumni and the rapidly growing legion of local fans who trek up to Mt. Olympus come Saturday afternoon are assured of a thrilling game if past records mean anything and chances are they do. With a little cooperation from the weatherman, the largest Homecoming crowd in history will be on hand to witness the exciting game and gala halftime activities. Andrus s, Revision Of Textbook (Continued from page 1) painted and re-decorated. Woodwork on the exteriors of Waller H all, Ben Franklin Laboratory School, and Centennial Gym have been painted and the old Clock Tower on Carver Hall has been re-painted and re-decorated. Hand rails throughout the campus have been bronzed or painted. New electric drinking fountains have been installed in most of the buildings. Science Hall has received plastor repairs in all rooms and will be re-painted and re-decorated this winter. New roofs have been put on Science Hall and the storage barn. Gutters and roofing have been repaired on all buildings. Hard-surface parking iots have been constructed near Centennial Gym , below Long Porch , behind Waller Hall, and behind North Hall in order to help solve the parking problem. White lines have been painted on these lots, and lights will be constructed on the Centennial Gym Parking lot in the near future. Improvements in facilities for sports include the re-surfacing of tennis courts of Mount Olympus and the painting of fences on all tenni s courts around the campus. Excavation at the end of the athletic field is in progress to make use of the upper portion of the field and possibly to make a football field. New asphalt flooring has been put on the floor near the post office, in the elevated lounge, and in the social r oom, and a new porch has been added to North Hall. Some of the old trees which are campus landmarks have been saved and improved by tree surgery and trimming done during the summer. New shrubbery has been planted around the campus, and much more is to be done at a later date. Probably the most notable repair is the complete renovation of the old heating plant on Penn Street.
