Then each member lit a candle and promised to support the work of the organization. This was followed by "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," sung by the entire group. After the formal service , several games were played and refreshments were served. Science Club Tours Downtown Station On October 25, the Science Club held its second regular meeting in Science Hall. A member of the club, Shirley Eveland, showed the club a common garden spider which was further discussed by Dr. Kuster, the club's co-sponsor. The main feature of the meeting was the visit to the local broadcasting station , W.C.N.R. Mr. Erdman , announcer at the station , pointed out the items that would be of interest to the club. He explained the principles of broadcasting and showed the group the large record library and the various studios. Later the members saw the actual broadcasting of! a popular recorded program. William Fisher , program chairwan , has planned a trip to the W.C.N.R. transmitter for the next meeting:. Membership In the Science Club is open to anyone who has an interest in the Hold of science. Co-sponsors of the club are Dr. Kimber C. Kuster and Mr. Harold Lanterman. The regular meeting of the Athenaeum Club was heM la^t Thursd ay, October 25, at 3:00 P.M.

John Burns Secretary Flora Kissinger Treasurer William Latimer Progra m Chairman Jumes Ferdinand Photo graphy Club Being Organized A photography club is in the process of being formed on the campus of B.S.T.C. The idea for such a club originated with Maroon and Gold photographer Keith Smith , who began the arrangements necessary to organize a new extracurricular activity . Before such an activity can become a purt of the college program , its constitution must bo presented to the College Council and the President , and the organization of the club must be approved by both. Approximately twenty-eight interested persons attended a meeting to select a commute to draw up a constitution. The following ( Continued on page 2) The Bloomsburg Players, school d ramatic organization under direction of Miss Alice Johnston , presented a one-act, play during the regular assembly period on November 1. "Teapot on the Rocks , " by Joh n Kilp a tri ck , took place one afternoon in Spring in a small room adj oining a larger tea room intended lor prospective guests. The cast included Pat Taylor as Daisy, Mary Ann Martz as Mae, ' i as Roy, Peggy DorSlim' Ruppc as Mrs. Castairs, Kitty sava^e Mitchell as Willy, and Alex Kubik as the gas man. Also credited to the success of the play arc David Newbury and James Ciavaglia , stage manager , and Myrtle McGar^lc , pro mpter. "Teapot on the Rocks" was a fine example of the type of play which is put on by the Bloornsburg Players for their regular weekly meetings. In this workshop manner , the members of the club organization obtain a fine opportunity for dramatic experience in acting, directing, and stage routine. Civic Concert Will Present Duo-Pianists Thp second program of the year in the schedule of the Bloomsburg Civic Music Association will be held in the Bloomsburg High School Auditorium on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 8:30 P.M. A two-piano concert will be p"e<-cn f od by ArUiur Fervante and Louis Teicher, Duo-Pianists. The program of this two-piano team will consist nf numbers by Bach , Warshaw. Rauel , Infante , S a i n t - S a e n s, Khachaturian , Debussy, Gershwin, and a fantasy composed by the artists themselves. One of the greatest difficulties facing a piano duo is the task of programming. Since so very few works have been composed for two pianos, such a team has a very limited choice in selecting what it will present to its audiences. At. the same time , the pianists must strive to satisfy their own ideals of what they wish to play in their concerts. One of the members which will render on November 6 was written especially for them. Malvin Warshaw has been a closo friend of both since their childhood days , and lie composed '"Crameriana " for them , at thoiv request. Their original composition is entitled "American Fantasy, " and was based on " W h e n J o h n n y Comos Marching I-Iome." The pianists also will plr.y a group of popular classics by Khachaturian , Debussy, and Gershwin , which they transcribed for two pianos. The programs of the Bloomsburg Civic Music Association ai'e open only to members of the association. Bloomsburg State Teachcvs College purchases a bloc of three hundred tickets, in order that students of the college may attend these concerts.

The Price of Success What is it which brings success in life to one man , and mediocrity or failure to his brother? It can ' t be men tal capacity. There is not as much difference in our mentalities as is indicated by the difference in performances . The answer is, some men succeed because they cheerfull y pay the price oi success while others , t h oug h t h ey cl aim am b ition and a desire to succeed , ar e unwilling to pay that price. The formula for success is — To use all your courage to force yoursel f to concentrate on the problem in hand ; to think of it deepl y an d constant ly; to stu dy it from all ang les, and to plan ahead. To have a high a nd sustain ed d etermination to ac h ieve w h at y ou plan to ac comp lish , not on ly w h en con ditions are f avora bl e to its accomplishment, but in spite of all adverse circumstances which may arise. To refuse to believe that there are any circumstances sufficient ly strong to defeat you in the accomplishment of your purpose. Hard? Of course. That 's why so many n ever achieve success; they yield instead to the siren call of the rut and remain on the beaten paths that are for beaten men. Nothing of note has ever been ac h ieve d with out consta n t en d eavor , some pain , an d ceas el ess application of the lash of ambition . That 's the price of success. Every man should ask himself: Am I willing to endure the pain of this struggl e f or t h e rewar d s an d t h e g lory that go with achievement? Or shall I accept the uneasy and inadquate contentment which comes with mediocrity? (J S) Rededication Time: November 2 , 1951 Place : Corner of E. Main and Iron Streets , Bloomsburg, Pa. Cast of Characters : You , your roommate, an d a few other members of the 'old gang. ' Action : Joe Jones , a rat her ordinary-looking fdlow , and one of his friends pass by. You overhear a scrap of Joe 's conversation which goes something like this : "Wh y, one o f my ancestors hel pe d d ump King George 's tea in t h e ocean at the start of the Revolutionary War , an d his great grandson died in the battle of Gettysburg. And . that isn 't all . My grandfather Jones rests beneath a little white cross somewhere in France." You turn to your friends with a knowing smile. Without saying a word, it ' s quite evi de nt t h at you 've just put Joe in t he egotistical , stuffed shirt class. So what if his family tree had a lot or soldiers on it. America has had loads of soldiers in it 's h istor y of 175 years as a nation. , . But stop and think a minute. That 's an American you 're laug hing at— a real American. A man who is justl y proud of his heritage and realizes the terrific price that has been paid for his freedom. To him , the American way of life is alive , not just something to read about in a history book. Alive because his own people helped write the glorious story that is our American history. We 'd be pretty safe in saying that Joe takes his role of a free American citizen as seriously as most businessmen do the operation of their business, But how about you? What are you doing to keep your homeland an independent nation? Or do you take it pretty much for granted that America will never fall prey to any other type of government? Just try telling that to "Old Uncle Joe. " This year marks the one hundred-seventy-fifth anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, but Joe Stalin hates to see this kind of record grow any longer. He 's not going to stand on the sidelines and watch. Are you? It mi ght not be a bad idea for all of us to take a new look at our freedom. It has become such a commonplace thing to go to the polls and vote that we scarcel y think of it as any kind of freedom at all. The truth of the matter is , many of us regard it as some kind of duty we 'd raj ther not bother with. But just let the election returns show that everyone doesn 't vote the way we would have , and the first thing we do is let out with a lusty gripe , to say nothing of the name-calling we do in connection with those who voted in such a displeasing manner, Okay, they voted , didn 't they, and that 's every man s right to exercise as he himself sees fit. By failing to exercise these rig hts, we may someday find ourselves without a right to exercise, Voting isn 't the only thing we 're neglecting'- there are other things—many of them. Together they are killing—yes, killing-— our way of life, America, won 't you please wake up, now, before it 's too late? Nineteen hundred and fifty-one marks the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, Our history, as a nation, is a long and glorious one, However, we cannot rest on our past laurels and expect to go on as before, If we do , we are breaking the faith with all the men who rest beneath the rows of white crosses the world over; we are destroying the dreams of our forefa thers who sacrificed their all to build America, Let 's not mark our 175th anniversary with g lorious speeches and flag-waving alone. Let 's do something to keep America a free and independent nation, You a nd I , and all the rest of the students on this campus hold the power to keep America alive and growing. Can you honestly live with your own conscience if you let her die? Better still , can you adjust your personal likes and dislikes , your beliefs , (AB ) and your way of living to Communism??? PART 2 As I sit here in this four o'clock class, My mind lives memories of the summer past. I dream of swimming and ice cream cones, I wish for the .life I live at home. My heart beats faster as it recalls That handsome guide at Niagara Falls. I live and re-live a thousand times o'er The sound of the waves on the Jersey shore. I mingle 'again with the summer gang, I remember the songs we so often sang. And then in the midst of this remini scing, To a question directed at me I am listeni ng. "Can you tell us the answer, now , Miss Doyle?" Egads! My mind is in turmoil. "Maybe I can w" I say as I stir , "If you'll tell me the question, sir." (DD ) STRICTL Y FOR CO-EDS by Mary Lou Todd Our Homecoming dance proved to be j ust what we expected — a colorful event. I saw many beautif ul dresses which I'll mention to y ou. Although the most outstanding color was black, knitted suits were seen in soft , delicate shades. Several girls wore black strapless dresses — Among them, Kitty Mitchell with an attractive black velvet creation. I might also men^ tion that Joan Enama wore a black strapless taffeta with a pink and black striped insertion of gathers in the front of the blouse. A great many of the dresses were either trimmed with velvet, or had a velvet blouse. That seems to be one material which keeps its popularity from winter to winter. Mary Lou Kubic looked gay in her lipstick red rayon taffeta. The neckline was trimmed with black velvet which fell over the shoulders and lay in bows; the waist fit snug and the skirt fell in many folds. Very attractive!! With the first frost most of us p ut away those spring coats and get out our new winter garb. While up in the girls dormitory t he oth er after n oon , I caught a preview of Clare Davis' n ew dark grey full-length poodle coat. Here is a coat that's really different. All of the features contain yards and yards of material. On the sleeves are cuffs that turn up and the back ends with a fish tail gathering. Clare will be sure to be warm with the rolled collar. Three grey buttons in a slanted position give it that finishing touch. Jean Skeeba has a slick , black and white wool suit. The skirt consists of approximately 55 small pleats while the j acket is a blazer style of winter white trimmed with black around the collar and pockets, Several tiny white pearl buttons run from the waist to the neck. Definitely a collegiate looking outfit! Just a tip, if/you wish to double your outfits. Try a wool bolero or a deep velvet j acket of a neutral shade. They mix equally well with either full or new slim sheathtype skirts. Photograph y Club (Continued from page 1) committee was appointed: Donald Meredith , Daniel Fitzpatrick, Leland Ney, Bob Logan, Louise Schullery, and Keith Smith. The Constitution will be presented to the College Council at its next meeting. Mr, Edward T, DeVoe will act as faculty sponsor of the organization , if it is approved. Any person who would be interested in joinin g such a club may contact any , of the above mentioned people. (Contintfed from last week) The same afternoon , Ann and her family went on an excursion of modern Paris. On this tour they became acquainted with a young couple from India , who explained many fascinating customs of their native land. Together with this couple, Ann visited such well-known landmark s as Eiffel Tower, Ar c de Triom phe, Palais de Chaillot and the incomparable Notre Dame. Each night about seven, the streets begin to show life. People started to come out of the offices, shops , and factories. At ten, the sidewalks were packed with tourists. It is said th at a Frenchman cannot speak without using his hands. "This must be true," says Ann , "for they certainly use a superfluous amount." A must for tourists is a night ride through the streets , gay with light, and filled with brightly dressed people and caberet music. The third day was spen t in touring the castles of Louis XIV. The trip to Versailles held the interest of everyone. Ann left Paris at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived in Germany that night at seven thirty. Several days were spent with her relatives, and then the family was off for more touring. It was here they saw the Black Forest, in all its splendor. It was here that they saw the Rhine, and learned the continental custom of indulging in coffee and cake at four each afternoon . Some of Germany 's bigger cities which Ann visited included Munich , Stuttgart, Heilbronn , and the very much devastated Pfzorheim. The city, because of its industry during the last war, was demolished. It is said that 92% of the city was destroyed in one bombing. In Munich they saw the famous town hall clock. The Gengenbachs also saw an exhibit of clocks from the earliest possible models to the modern "wind -them-once-a-year " clocks. Approximately a month later, they went to Switzerland. Ann found Switzerland "a fairy land. " In Davos, they took a small lift to the top of one oi the highest mountains in that region. At the altitude of ten thousand feet, one could view the entire valley and have the privilege of throwing snowballs in July. (Continued next week) WALLER HALL Individuality and lovely combinations of color highlighted the scene in the winning rooms in the annual room-j udging contest in Waller Hall. "The Yellow Room" would aptly describe the first-prize room, that of Louise Schullery and Patricia Edwards. These girls chose matching yellow chenile bedspreads and yellow plastic drapes. They featured a rose motif on their desk blotters and cushions,, On the wall were ivy plants in lyre-shaped brackets, and perched on their beds were fluffy black and white cats. In the room winning second prize, Doris Bowman and Barbara Sherman chose blue and gray bedspreads, Their blue and gray plastic drapes had horizontal stripes, and they had huge rugs of red and blue. On the wall were blotters covered with snapshots ' of their favorite people. A highlight of the room was a casual chair covered in red-flowered fabric. Nancy Unger and Irene Endler, who won third prize, had matching pink bedspreads and drapes featuring a lily-of-the-valley pattern. An outstanding wall decoration was a what-not shelf — varnished by Nancy—filled with an abundance of ivy vines. The girls have added a white wicker chair covered in pink plastic to their room— (Continued on page 3) "Cheaper by the Gross " v . . .

Smarty . . . We have all heard of smart replies made by children to their parents or elders. One of these stories which I heard lately deserves , I believe, repetition. It seems that a young girl of early gr ade school age was practicing her piano lesson under the watch ful eye of her father. She was very definitely not interested, in this practice and lost no time in displaying her disapproval. Finally, she stopped playing, turned around to her father and said , "You know , another way for me to be popular would be for you to bg rich '-" Life—Love Some one once said that life was ; one damn thing after another, and that love was one damn fool after " another. More recently, love has been defined as a form of insanity that makes a girl marry her boss and work tor him the rest of her life without salary. Far be it from =. me to pass on such a subj ect, but as for pursuit , I'll t ake Happiness —she can be so sweet. Woolies . . . In these days of frigid temperatures , reliable rumor has it that many dorm students are donning these unmentionables. The same r um or tell s that sixt een men in North Hall slept with their clothes on one night last week. The reason for all this discomfort is a onelunged heating system. Cold weather seems to haye beaten our power plant repairmen to the punch . It sneaked in before the new heating system was completed. Hope is held forth that said system will find completion before low temperatures reach extremes. My one consolation is to bear with it , for suffering is, at times, good , for the soul. Tigh t squeeze . . . I watched with great interest as the ground keepers nailed a tightfitting wood cover over the fountain in the Waller Hall courts "Boy," I said to myself , "am l\ gla d I'm not a water molecule, I'd? sure hate to be squirted out of & pipe and then try to get between ; the cracks in those boards to be I able to put on a showy sprays: around the fountain." With such thoughts still running through my mind , I was informed that this? wood covera ge was a form of pro-j tection for the fountain , so, great-| ly relieved and enlighted by such': knowledge, I parted with a new! lease on life. To you girls who read; this paragraph in hope that I was; going to give you a line on some; strong-armed guy, I apologize. , In conclusion . , .

' ' Collegiate Squirrels If you have been observing the squirrels which make their home on the campus, you have undoubtedly noticed that they are busy burying nuts and seeds at the base of some of the trees, It is theii instinct to guther and store these as food for the wintortido. Bui how do they go about finding these buried morsels when the wlntei comes and the campus is blanket' ed with four to six inches of snow ? Do they retain in memorj those places where the nuts arc burled ? No!

For the second straight week the passing of Spack has enabled the Huskies to emerge victorious. In la st week's f ray he threw 3 passes for scores, as he hit Charlie Brennan, Verb Verhousky, and Bob Thurston as they ran int o pay dir t. He also scored, on a 10-yard jaunt for the first local score. Fi rst Quarter This was the Redmen 's worst period as both their defense and off ense showed next to nothing. The defense boys received and marched the length of the field b ut fizzled out on the Bloom 10. In this drive, Bo Rainey was injured on an attempted tackle, and he suffered a shoulder separation which will "side line" him indefinitely . Near the end of the period, Osevala and Lang pushed the ball to the Kutztown 10. Second Quarter On the first play, Spack reversed arid ran , untouched, to the end zone , Dave Linkchorst converted, and the score was 7-0. The locals scored on a pass play later, but it was called back, and the two te ams were stymied until the four minute mark when Spack threw to Lang on the Bloom 40, to Lambrinos on the Kutztown 40, and to Charlie Brennan for a touchdown. Linkchorst added the point. Bloom 14-0 as the half ended. Third Quarter After a Redman tongue-lashing, the t eam seemed to look bet t er , and after an exchange of pass inter ceptions and a 15-yard penalty against the Avalanche, the Huskies found themselves on the Kutztown 30. Two running plays failed , and then Spack hit Verhousky for the third touchdown, Linkchorst adding the point. Score: 21-0. Fourth Quarter Barney Oseval a, who ran hard all day, was replaced by Jack Long, who cracked for two firsts early in the period to put the stage on the Kutztown 12 for Spack's third scoring heave to Bob Thurston in the end zone for the final tally ; Linkchorst's fourth conversion made it 28-0. That ended the official scoring, but later , Al Boychuck electrified the crowd with a 60-y ard punt-return for a score, which was nullified as the official said he stepped out on the Kutztown 35. Swiftly Speaking Mary Ann Fink and Joanne Heisley spent the weekend at Annapolis where they attended a dance. LaRue Slicker received her engagement ring last Saturday. Best wishes, LaRue.

Bob Rainey, a promising freshman football player, was in the hospital recovering from an inj ury incurred in the Kutztown game. Dolores Doyle and Pat O'lough lin are two lucky lassies who have celebrated their birthdays recently. How do we know ? By their birthday cakes in the dining room, of course. Susie Havasta also celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago but was neglected cruelly by this column. Susie is one woman who really believes in the old adage "There's a time and place for everything." Just to prove it, Susie fninted while visiting a friend at Sunbury Hospital. Something definitely new and Interesting on campus is the quiet listening hour Mr. Smith has begun in the music room In Science Hall. This hour is devoted to the playing of all types of music, An interesting feature this last week was authentic Indian music, This hour is not only for music appreciation students but for all music lovers, Thus far , the sessions have been well attended , and all students and faculty are cordially invit ed. We are all sorry to see Twlla Napps, a freshman from Penn Creok , leave campus. We hope you decide to return In the future , Twlla , and good luck In your new field, Oof ! I Colonels Promise Rough GoiSi| For Huskies at Kingston Stadium Conf erence Scoring Determined Husky tacklers stop Shippensburg star. - L i nqo Locker |1| by Harry Brooks Thanks to Clarion State Teachers College, the Huskies have moved into first place in the tight State Teachers College Conference race. In winning on Saturday against Kutztown by a 28-0 score, the Huskies looked their worst in years; but they did manage to subdue the falling Golden Avalanche. Meanwhile, mediocre Clarion stopped Indiana, bumping them right out of first place; this, coupled with the Maroon and Gold win , brought about the switch in the top spot department. After two weeks of futile prognosticating, the "crystal ball fog lifted, showing1 a good 19 right, with only 4 wrong picks for the week. This boasts the season percentage to 64.1, a full ten-point gain over last week ? it alsa raises the seasons total to 43 correct selections and 24 mishaps. Games missed were upsets, except in the case of Georgia Tech's slim win over Vanderbilt, and mighty Princeton 's rout of hapless Cornell, 53-15. Here goes another spin . . . .

Wilkes will not be a pushover though . They play their best game of the season every year against our undefeated Huskies ; and it will take heads up football on the part of the Redmen if they are to go into the West Chester game next week undefeated. Let's all go to Wilkes-Barre to see another top-notch game on the Husky schedule. Save your tonsils for next week, though. The game of the year in Pennsylvania will soon take place. Talk has it that the afternoon tilt with W.C. will be played in Berwick. Let's worry about Wilkes now. Orchids to Jack Schaar, a Homecoming casualty in the Husky ranks , and our hats are also off to the fine guy, "Bo" Rainey, injured in Last week's battle with Kutztown , Collegiate Squirrels ( Continued from page 2) enable them to remember or catalog information. Instead, the squirrel uses his sense of smell to locate the buried nuts. The sense of smell is so well developed that they are able to detect a nut even when a foot of snow covers it. Deer have been said to possess an exceptionally keen nose which can detect a hunter miles before the nlmrod actually reaches the deer; but little credit is given to the squirrel for his remarkable ability, especially the campus squirrel ! Those nuts which they search out with their keen noses are not always ones which the finder has buried , but often those which have been hidden by a brother squirrel or by a blue-j ay. It is in this respect that squirrels are said to be a great aid in reforestation , as most students have learned in ecology. Many of the acorns and walnuts that have been hidden are not found; these sprout during the spring and grow into new trees. Of course, reforestation is seld- . om thought of as a campus activity, especially an activity in which squirrels participate, but this goes on each year in the country and hillsides, wherever there are squirrels to be found, Perhaps It should be mentioned hero, while wo are discussing squirrels, that recently one of the instructors placed his text book on the ground as he paused to look about the campus, when he stooped over to pick up the book again , ho was amazed to soe one of the squirrels gnawing at the pages. Certainly the Instructor had a perfect righ t to assume that the squirrel was trying to grasp some Waller Hall News (Continued from page 2) original designs on the covering were done by Irene. An unusual feature in the room was a ladder for convenience in ascending to the top bunk. A cheerful note is struck in the room of Regina Herchel and Grace Heppe, which won honorable mention. They chose red as their principal color, and they had drapes and matching bedspreads in that color, An added note was the sheer marquisette . curtains at the window, Contrasting color was introduced in their yellow shag rugs and yellow blotters. A whatnot shelf holding figurines hung on the wall by the window. Ben Franklin Holds Hallowe 'en Program All sorts of ghosts and goblins were seen entering the Benjamin Franklin Training School on Friday, October 26. The reason—the annual Hallowe'en parties. Each of the classrooms was cleverly decorated with ugly old witches, pumpkin men, owls, cats, bats, skeletons, corn shocks, balloons, and j nck-o-lanterns. Most of this work was done by the children themselves. First on the program was guessIng who the masquerauders were, Hallowe'en songs were then sung, plays enacted , games enjoyed, and prizes awarded. Information so that it too could attend classes and perhaps select some of the nuts It might find there! * i Football enthusiasts have been wondering just how the scoring system works in our Teachers Conference. The point scoring is based upon four games. If a team play s more than four conference games, it can select any four games as a basis for its scoring, j ust as long as the conference games which the team lost and tied are included. Suppose Team A played six conference games, winning four, losing one , and tying one. Then it can pick any two of its four victories, but the loss and tie must be included in their record to determine the winner of the conference. There are two kinds of points on which teams are rated; primary points represent a team's playing ability, while supplementary points show the strength of the opposition. A total of 100 primary points is awarded for each win, 50 points for each tie, and 0 points for each loss. Supplementary points are added to primary points as follows: (1) ten points are added for each win of each selected conference team defeated by the team ranked. If Team B defeats Team C which had won two other conference games, Team B gets 20 supplementary points in addition to the 100 primary points for the win. (2) Five points are added for each tie of each selected conference team which has been defeated by the team ranked. If Team B defeats Team D which had tied one game in conference competition , Team B gains 5 supplementary points. (3) Five points are added for each win of each selected con(Continued on page 4) Ralstontneti iti T&p Shape After Three Week Layoff Period Saturday night at 8 o'clock the Kingston Stadiuhi will He the scene of the fourth annual clash between the favored BSTG Huskies and the Wilkes Colonels. The Colonels return to the war after a three week layoff * and should be in fine physical condition. The Colonels' record is a deceiving 1 and 2, losing to St. Francis and Ithaca and upsetting, a good University of Bridgeport. The Colonels are graced wtih one of the outstanding backs in regional foot ball, tailback Al Nicholas. Last year he almost upset the Huskies applecart singlehanded with his off-tackle thrusts. Immediately following the game Nicholas will be recalled by Uncle Sam for active duty; therefore keep your eyes peeled for Nicholas. Also in the same backfield is Eddie Davis, All-Wyoming Valley from Plymouth. Davis shares passing and running duties with Nicholas. At one terminal will be big Al Molash 6' 2" and 212 lbs. The present record for this an-, nual clash stands 2-1 in favor of the Huskies. In 1948 Bloomsburg won 25-0 but in the opening game of the '49 season the Colonels upset the dopsters by winning 20-7 at Plymouth. Last year the Huskies were too powerful, winning 27-7. There are two differen t set s of sounds echoing from the Wyoming valley this week. One concerns how beaten up the Colonels are after a three-week layoff and the other issues promises of setting up (Continued on page 4} Maroon and Gold Stars ? ? ? ? John Dietz is one of the many important cogs in the Husky football machine. John operates from the quarter-back post and has proven himself very capable of handling the blocking assignments which .are so essential to a successful single-wing attack. Besides his good blocking, John has exhibited an amazing pass-catching ability in early games this year and this has added considerably to the aerial assault of the Huskies. This is John 's third year on the squad and it is by far his best. Charles Brennan , the lanky, glue-fingered end, is playing his first season with the Husky firststring after gaining valuable experience as a substitute during the two preceding years. Charlie was recommended to Coach Redman as an outstanding pass-receiver and his acrobatic catches in the first five games this year are proof enough of his ability. Charlie also plays with the Husky defensive platoon and it is seldom that opposing backs are able to skirt his end for a large gain. Charlie is the lightest starter for the Huskies, but makes up for this lack with an over-abundance of spirit. One of the most promising young backs on the Husky squad this year is Bernard Mont. Bernie, a sophomore, promises to be a real triple-threat star for future Husky teams. He can kick, pass, and run with considerable ease and ability, and is being used to great advantage in all three departments. Bernie's main job this year is kicking-off and he does an exceptional j ob ( averaging over 50 yds.). Bernie . a very aggressive ballplayer , can be depended upon when the chips are down and undoubtedly is one of the keys to open doors for future Husky victors. Don Cesare, burley offensive guard , is one of the more experienced starters for the Huskies. He is a very good blocker and it is often a key block by. him that sets the Husky backs free for large, gains. Don is particularly adept; at down-field blocking which is usually one of the hardest blocks to make in a game. Don, who came here as a transfer from Scranton University, is playing his last season for the Huskies and it is undoubtedly one that he will long remember. Gene Morrison is one of the few local boys on the Husky squad. Genie, an end, plays his most important role for the team on the practice during scrimmages as he keeps the Husky regulars working hard to perfect their blocking. Gene has been a member of the kick-off team for the last two years and is usually in on the resulting tackle. This is Gene's third year on the squad and he is sure to see plenty of action before the season is over. Current Curren ts by Dave Newbury Look, mama, at the funny man . . . There 's the cartoon; just like I threatened it would be. That calculating expression is caused by the fact that without my glasses I'm blind as the ref at the Homecoming game. Since the recent announcement in assembly concerning dining and stuff , I find that I won't have to chew my spectacles after the state appropriation comes through. In order to give an even more intelligent expression to my facial physiography (Hank Marini: Please note the big word.), the space where tho cut now is will be left blank. What price spirit . . . Most Freshmen notice that there isn't as much school spirit in college as in High school. I think they 're right. Without auguring the point I'd like to observe a few observations. "Bo" Rainey was hospitalized as of last Saturday 's Kutztown game with a shoulder separation. There was nothing half-hearted about the tackle he made when he inj ured his shoulder. Guys like Schaar, Sheehan , and Ruppell haven 't been hobbling around here because they lack spirit. Let's make su re that when other "Bo's" have to pay the price, we deliver the goods. Meet the people . . . There are numerous theories on how his nose became crooked and no one can explain that buzzsaw twang which passes for a voice, but everybody recognizes a character when they see one. Author of numerous "Rowleyisms " such as, "Pack your valise" which means get your bag and bail, and other quaint sayings, too quaint to be printed , Mr. Thoma s Rowley is Bloomsburg 's answer. Don 't ask "answer to what?" If there is a question, he's the answer. Whether he'll admit it or not , he likes it here and expects to stay the full eight years necessary for him to graduate. Inspiration . . . Having made short work of morning chow in the A.M. of Monday, the 29th, I found myself leaning at my usual post—the window in the wall acrossthe hall from the C.G.A. office. Without inspiration. Without thought. Without sleep . . . When along came my friend and colleague M. Jones. What to write about ? He didn't know. He looked out the window. Men were raking leaves. "Write about the ground crew raking leaves. Indifference. Bill Radzwich ankled up, Same question. Same answer after viewing a window. Still indifferent. Then loping up came Al Chiscon. "What to write About?" He looked out the window. "I know, write a nice story about the ground crew raking leaves." I give up ! ! On October 29, 1951, at 8:37 A.M., the ground crew of B.S.T.C. was raking up beautiful, wet , soggy, sloppy, leaves. Look out below . . . Of all the current currents that flow around here, the one that doesn't is the one that should flow through the two bulbs on the third and fourth floor of the Noetling Hall fire tower. Not saying there's a hazard involved in having no lights on steep stairs, but the third and fourth floor residents of the men 's dorm want it known that Mr. Redman can't hold them responsible for the loud splatterings of bodies after eleven o'clock. Watch out West Chester . . . According to such indisputable sources as the Yale News, the B.S.T.C. football team has been described as the "power of the East . . ." and its games have been given such listing as, "In the other maj or game in the East . . ." We know the News is jus t kidding, but we're not! Suicide prevention . . . The ground crew clapped a big wooden cap on the Waller Hall court fountain. Gone are the colors and a darn good excuse for getting your lady friend out on Long Porch of a starry evening. However, "cupid" cramping is not the only reason for covering up tho animated pond; it will also effectively prevent suicides after the mid-semester grades, (note to Mr. Sharretts: Better cover the Lagoon too , or you'll have to drag, it for bodies after exams.) On the other hand , it could be ju st to prevent freezing. Farewell for arms . .. So a guy gets married and decides he's ready to settle down. He has three years of college under his belt, and is in the midst of student teaching. Then — bingo ! "Greetings ". Big, j ovial Ben Burness lost a game of bingo recently and went the way of many before and many to come. If this thing reaches its theoretical limits, B.S.T.C. may wind up as another Bryn Mawr.
