The glee club is ably conducted this year by Mr. Ralph Fisher Smith. Mr. Smith has taken over the direction of the glee club after the resignation of Miss Harriet Moore, who was the director last year. This club hopes in the near future to present an assembly program and, if possible , to have several other engagements on and around the campus. The membership in the club has reached a total of approximately forty men. The members are equally distributed among the four majo r singing parts of first and second tenor, baritone, and bass. The officers of the club are as follows: Lieutenant Commander David I. Jacobs, U. S.

Before the awarding of the scholarships, a blood don or program was arranged by the student faculty committee to arouse the student interest in our nation 's need for the vital fluid. Mrs. Clare Hidlay, representing the downtown Red Cross, gave an interesting discussion of the procedures which a student would go through in this blood giving process. Dr. E. Paul Wagner then gave a few statistics on the number of students who had already signed to donate on February 14. Following this part of the program, Dr. Kimber C. Kuster, chairman of the Scholarship Committee, introduced Mr. J. Howard Deily, past president of the Kiwanis Club of downtown Bloomsburg. Mr. Deily in turn presented Mr. Charles Beeman, chairman of the Kiwanis Scholarship Committee , who presented awards to Nancy Sue Williams, James Luchs, Faith Eunson, Virginia Home, and Ruth Thomas. The money was accumulated for these scholarships by placing gumball machines in various places in townT To date, approximately eight hundred dollars has been awarded by the Kiwanis Club. The long awaited Class of 1951 Scholarship was also presented by Dr. Kuster to William Jacobs, a sophomore in the Business Curriculum. Officers Chosen by Weslev Fellowship For New Semester Weslev Fellowship, the Methodist College group, recently held an election of officers for the coming year. Retiring President Dick Powell presided over the meeting. The officers elected were President : Lola Deibert : Program VicePresident , John Cherrington ; Assistants, Donald Meredith .

Arnold Garringer; Secretary, William Jacobs; Assistant Secretary, Relda R o h r b a c h ; Treasurer, Russell Hons; Pianist, Sylvia Krapf; Assistant: Mary Lewis. Following the election the group j oined the district senior high students to hear Rev. Howard T. Brinton , a missionary from Africa. Rev. Brinton showed several slides and told of his work in a Methodist mission in southern Belgian Congo. Refreshments were served to the group. S.C.A. Presents Quiz Program at Meeting Christian Heritage Commission planned tho program for the last meeting of the Student Christian Association , where devotions were centered on the topic, "The New Year." Following the worship service, those present participated in a truth or consequence game. Each person present was asked one question , the answer to which was faund in the Bible. Several humorous consequences were taken by those not knowing the correct answer. Gerald Houseknecht was presented with a token prize for answering tho j ackpot question , "Where is the Lord's Prayer found in the Bible?" The members in charge of the program were: Marie Parrlsh, Lcota Williamson, Lorraine Wagaman , Arleno Mover, Barbara Zimm erman , Alberta Semanskl, Barbara Thomas, Relda Rohrbach , Lura Szerafinski, Alice Quick, and Ogden Moss, Two from Each Class Have Been Selected This year the Obiter will spon- sor a "Coed of the Year " contest, the fund amental work having been underway for some time now. Recently the C. G. A. man and woman representative from each of the classes met as a committee to select two candidates from each class to compete for Coed of the Year. This committee consisted of Barbara James, Fred Del Mon t e, Elaine Gunther, Mike Crisci, Nancy Heebner, Claude Renninger, Bob Burns, Peggy Bourdette, and Sam Yeager as chairman. The basis for their selection was not only physical beauty but rather a combination of many qualities including personality, popularity, and participation in campus activities. It was only after considerable deliberation that they were able to agree upon eight worthy candidates, those being: Ruth E. Gillman, Nancy Sue Williams , Dolores Doyle, Phyllis McLaren, Clare Davis, Wilma Jones, Nancy Swartz, and Barbara E. Harman. A local photographer, Mr. John Girton , will do his very .best to capture the charms of these comely contestants and reproduce them on eight by ten pictures which will be displayed in the college lounge for everyone to see. After everyone has had some time to make the difficult decision a general election will be held and everyone in the college comrnunity will be able to vote for their choice of the "Coed of the Year." The "Coed of t he Year " will be publicly crowned at a later date. Upperclassmen Win Battl e of Classes On January 31 the annual "Battle of the Classes" was held in Carver Hall Auditorium. The subj ect for the quiz show sponsored by Time magazine was "Contemporary World Figures and Events." The questions covered such topics as domestic affairs, sports, musical comedies, literature, dramatics, Korean War, novels, and motion pictures. A close race for supremacy was fought by the upper classmen and the under classmen. The Seniors and Juniors proved to be the supreme power even though they won the battle by a very close margin. The Seniors and Juniors attained 25 points while their rivals had 24 points. The highest individual points were attained by John Burns, a senior, whose score was 10 points. The second prize (Continued on page 4) Know Your C.G.A. Customs are a great tradition of this college and the whole purpose is to orient Freshmen into college life and the community. The Customs Committee Is responsible for accomplishing this end of college lif e. The purpose of customs is to help the Freshmen become adj usted to social demands made upon them. This committee, well organized, held its first meeting on May 8, 1951 to make preparations for organizing customs to be administered in September , 1951. All classes are represented on the Customs Committee with the exception , of course, of the Freshman Class, The members are equally distributed between the Dorm Men, Dorm Women, Day Men, and Day Women. This committee gave full co-operation in the planning of Customs. Included in this project was the ordering of "Dinks", the type of identification the Custom Committee should wear so that the Freshmen will be able to recognize the members, and a list of the customs to be performed and tho penalties to be inflicted upon tho violators, and how long customs should be carried out. Also, this committee was responsible for the arrangement of the test on the "Pilot" , the sheet for the Freshmen to obtain signatures of tho Custom Committee, "Time Speech", the parade ( Continued on page 4) A B rig ht Future f or You, Teaching These iffllaroon anb #olb | PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY AND FOB THE STUDENTS OF BLOO MSBURG STATE TEACHERS CO LLEGE Co-editors — Priscilla Abbott and Alfred Chiscon Editorial Board — Harriet Williams, Bessmarie Williams, Charles Andrews, ..

While we are students here , most of us don 't realize the many activities that we are passing up, the many opportunities which are offered to us for improving ourselves mentall y and physicall y. We seem to take too much for granted. Most of us don ' t realize that these days will not last forever. Four years of college life will be over before you think about it , and what will you have from college besides a degree? Ri g ht now , while there is still time, resolve to get as much out of college as you can. Take a good look at B.S.T.C., and see what it has to offer you. Wh y not begin by looking at the campus and the surroundings of ike college? It 's true that you need more than a campus and a few scattered buildings to give you an education. Just because a college or university has the most beautiful campus and landsca ping in the country or the most modern classrooms in the world doesn ' t mean that it is a good college. However , pleasant surroundings are conducive to good stud y habits. Be proud of our campus! Since you will be spending four years on the campus, livi ng, working, and playing with other members of the college community, why not decide now to get acquainted? After all , four years may be quite a long time to be wandering about by yourself. Make friends with others. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Living and working with others at college will probabl y be the best opportunity you will ever have to meet many people. Take advantage of this opportunity which may never be yours again. Try not onl y to make friends of the students, but also of the faculty. By studying various courses , you have an opportunity to meet many faculty members. These teachers want to be your friends; their object is not to antagonize you. They are here to teach you and guide you in the direction that you wish to go. Remember that someone is pay ing for your education at this college. It isn 't as though you were being forced to be here—that ended when you graduated from high school , ' 'Now that you ' re here , why not make the most of it? Get in on the social life. Go out of your way to meet people. Stop dreaming and wake up ! Four years can slip by without your realizing it. To make sure those four years are the best years of your life , do something about it now. You ' re at Bloomsburg now , but you won 't be here forever. See what B.S.T.C. has t<5 offer you , and then step up and say "I'll take it!" Accept the challenqe (M.N.) today. Should We Marr y While in College? This is a question with which more than fifty per cent of America 's present-day college students are faced. How do they answer it? How would you answer it? The students on the campus of Bloomsburg State Teachers College are no exception. We have found in our talks with a number of our own students that the opinions held on this subject vary greatl y, and that very few of us have made any definite decision as to what we would do if faced with this question. Of course , the final decision rests on the facts involved in each particular case. „ Many girls are of the opinion that in an unsettled world such as exists today, it is quite understandable for a college girl to marry her chosen young man if he is about to go overseas. Still others believe that under the strain of such circumstances , we are not able to look at things quite so clearly as we need to before taking the matrimonial step. One campus co-ed told us that in her opinion , the primary purpose of marriage is defeated if we say "I do" while still in college—the primary purpose being to establish a home and build a future for your family. Still another young lass informs us that dividing or trying to divide attention between school work and duties as a housewife would result in neglect to both. Then , of course , there are those who say "No, " due to the limits it places on one 's social life ( particularl y if the "better half " happens to be some distance away), Now let ' s talk with some of our married students and see just how they feel about our little problem, After all, they should know a little more about it than we single folks, Every married student with whom we talked began by stating, "It can be done ," and we 're of the opinion that they 've proved their point , However , they seem willing to admit that it has its difficulties, both financiall y and in available study time. Needless to say, it isn 't ( Continued on page 4 ) STRICTL Y FOR CO-EDS by Mti r .x Lou Todd Since we were talking about poodle cuts last week, we wouldn 't be able to ignore the pony tail. Lots and lots of these have boon worn on our campus during the last week. I believe one of the most attractive stylings belongs to Peggy Dorsavage, for Peg has the facial characteristics (or I might say profile) to go with this extreme hair-do. Yes, we can truthfully admit that Life Magazine has influenced our campus as far as hair stylings go. Perhaps, some of y ou have seen a dark-haired girl go whizzing by you in what might be called a dreamy outfit. Jean wears a blanket skirt (and I suppose it acquired its name due to the heaviness of the material) of black and grey ^i-inch checks. The fullness is brought about by four sets of double pleats (two in the back and two in the front concealing two slit pockets which are detected only by a thin , black binding trim) . Topping the skirt is a wide, red-leather belt with four buckles in front. Naturally, Jean wears a complete match of a salt and pepper grey sweater, and flat grey shoes with one black strap across the instep. Now, add a huge bronze medallion with a long chain and three ballet dancers on it , and you have one of New York 's best. While shopping the other day, I noticed a new material which appears to add that "something new" in dresses. It's what they call a pure silk paper taffeta. It seems to do a good j ob at hiding those wrinkles and has that crisp fresh look. I've been informed that this materi al will be good in the spring and summer as well as now due to its light weight making it a cool fabric. My personal preference happens to be a solid color, however, I haven't seen any yet. Most of the designs are small prints on outstanding colors. If you 're looking for something to "perk up" that wardrobe of yours, this may be the dress to do j ust that! Barbara Harman is back and with her she brought a clever lounging coat. It's a black and white checked flannel j ob, with a Chinese collar and three-quarter length sleeves. Two huge patch pockets are an added attraction , since they will store any articles such as toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. The coat is street length and has five j et black buttons. Barb also tells me that it washes beautifully. No doubt, she won't ever be sony for making that purchase. In closing, let me remind you of , one thing, In order to bo in style, everyone should contribute to that worthy cause—Having a llf o !Hand your name in now in order to contribute to the blood drive next Thursday, February 14. Remember—you may be doing yourself a favor! "Did you see that young lady smile at me?" "That's nothing—the first time I saw you, I laughed right out loud, " The Special Educatio n Department - A department in education about which very little is said, yet one which is performing a very useful and commendable service to all types and classes of people, is that of Special Education. You 've probably heard of its existence at B.S.T.C. but know very little about it. Special Education is a broad and inclusive term. There are many different types of children who need special education and thusly various departments are equipped to take care of these children. They include classes for feeble-minded children , deaf or blind children, hard of hearing children , sight saving classes for the partially seeing children, and open air classes for the delicate children. • There is a bright future in special education. Teachers in this field usually receive more financial benefits. Of course, the teachers in this work have had additional training. The teacher has more chance to try her own ideas and pet tricks; she has smaller groups to work with and can get more accomplished. The special education teacher has her pupils for a longer period of time and gets to know each one very well. Some of her pupils are with her for several years. As for the opportunities in this field, they are unlimited. Special education teachers are in demand. A teacher in this field can have a greater selection of positions because of the few people who are engaged in this type of work. The satisfaction you receive from this work depends on the field you are in. First of all, you must like and want to help children. With mentally retarded children, you get the chance to help them find their place in life. Also, there is a great emotional appeal. This comes from the fact that you know the children need and depend on y ou. You get to know the children and their parents very well. You also get a chance to help older people. Because of your education and training, they will confide in you and tell you of their problems. They will tell you more than they will tell other people and in this way, you get a chance to help and guide them. You may wonder if the work is hard, It isn't that the work is hard but there is more individual work and attention. Each child gets a different lesson. This means that the teacher has to prepare lessons on four or five different levels. A special education class could very well be compared to a country school. On the whole, the work isn't too hard because it is hardly ever over the fourth grade level. You may have wondered if there is a discipline problem with these children. Each one has his own problem. The slow children, for example, are sometimes a problem because they have little minds and big bodies. In the classroom, they are allowed considerable freedom. They move around whenever they wish and this keeps them from feeling tied down and relieves possible problems. The only time they aren't allowed to speak out and ijiove around freely is when the teacher addresses them as a group. Lastly, and most important are the emidren. usually they are me ones whose I.Q.'s are between 50 and 80. They need the special education class because the schools are not equipped to handle them. These children talk whenever they feel like it, get up and walk around when the urge moves them and do ju st most anything they feel like doing at the moment so long as they do not disturb others. They are sometimes 'hurt when reminded of their handicap but usually, they laugh about it. The special education teacher must not hide the fact that these children are different but she must help them to face their problem squarely and help them to learn to do the best they can, Most of this information has been obtained throu gh the kind cooperation of the Special Education teacher, Miss Stover. During the \ Interview, we asked Miss Stover if she would add something to our article and this is what she said: "More college people should enter into the field of Special Education. It's not a difficult field , but it is very different and challenging. You will receive special training in handiwork which will help you in many ways. You get an opportunity to do more outside work and in this way, make extra money, There is also a chance for private tutoring. You will have more opportunity to do the unusual; It takes a long time to see improvement, but when it comes the satisfaction you get is well worth the time spent. The Special Education ; teacher is definitely making a contribution to the community. She is helping these children to find themselves and become useful citizens and not menaces as they migh t if they didn 't receive this special training. " Believe me, Miss Stover, if anyone , should know because she's devoted over 10 years of her life to this most worthy phase of education, (E.G. ) ¦ 1 A Little Will Go So Far \ To Do So Much * GIVE BLOOD j FEBRUARY 14 \ it I 'i SB iluskies Trounce Whe Marauders in 1Thrilling Game IB A determined Husky basketball M a m took the floor last Saturday mening at Centennial Gym, and tft|oceeded to trounce the high flyM fr Millersville Marauders to the elated fans. 1000 highly iftiight of count was 65-56, final as the m^c Huskies won going away. mPlay ing bef ore the largest home season , the Hu skies IHowd of the mtap ulted to a 10-point first quarthey ripped the cords ter lead , as ve points.

The affair should provide many a thrill come this season 's battles; there are few outstanding teams in this area, so the games should be more equal and close. The final date for the beginning of the fracas has not yet been set, but it will probably start sometime at the end of this month or around the first of March. Scranton University has definitely been scheduled for two grid games. One will be played on October 18 in* Scranton next year, and the following year, the University will come to Bloomsburg. This game will undoubtedly draw a great deal of local interest and should be one of the top highlights of next season's football card. Tomorrow night's outstanding court battle will mark the third straight fine home attraction the Shellymen have offered up in the past week. The tilt will feature a fine West Chester Golden Ram five against the erratic B.S.T.C. Huskies. Bloomsburg, with one of their better nights should cop this decision , but you never know from one day to the next what might happen . In other college circles, the hoop game of the nation will take form in Pittsburgh when undefeated Duquesne meets undefeated St. Bonaventure. Both terrific quintets are ranked in the first ten of the nation. As an added note, the Pittsburgh arena where the tilt will take place holds only 5,500 at capacity and as early as two weeks before the game, there were requests for 23,000 tickets. Predictions as to who will go to the various national tournaments in a month or so: St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, St. John 's, Kentucky, St. Louis, Iowa, West Virginia, among others. From here and there . . . . the visiting Millerville Marauders, here on the Hill last Saturday night , look like the best basketball team that has faced the Shellymen in the past two years . . . . Shippensburg is, without a doubt , the doormat in the State Teachers basketball race. They might be considered a doormat in more ways than that , too . . . . the new Pitt Field House is a similar structure such as we have, except they seat about 3,000 more. The trouble is they don 't draw any better than the Huskies do . . . . speaking of college attendance at basketball games, it has been next to nil. The Huskies have tried winning them all, losing half of them, but still they can 't draw out the dormant sport fan. Maybe they had better try losing them all. At least there will be something to talk about. Bask etball Statistics Chuck Daly Dave Linkchorst Buck Byham Don Bu tler fg. pts.

Star One of the Husky cagers set for action against West Chester Satur day nigh t is Al Willi am s, veteran guard on Bloom 's* basketball team. Al's ability on the hard wood court is not new to Wyoming Valley sports fans, as he was known for his athleti c -ability in high school . Al Willia ms A graduate of Nanticoke Hi gh , Al was quarterback for the Ram's football squad, second baseman and shortstop on the baseball t eam , and ran the 440 in track. Besides all this, the versatile ballplayer found time to captain the Nanticoke Five, then coached by Eddie Champi, Swoyerville mentor. In 1949, Al was elected a member of the Wyoming Valley All Scholastic Basketball Teaman honor every eager hopes to attain . During his last season as quarterback for Nanticoke, in the important game with Plymouth High, Al matched wits with the Indians ' quarterback—John Mazur, today 's Notre Dame star . Here at Bloom , Al is indeed an asset to Coach Shelly. A junior in the elementary field , he is playing his third year of basketball. He is an excellent set shot artist, and a fast driver.

Coach Harold Shelly has his Husky squad ready, and the bespectacled mentor really w ants to take this one. The Huskies are enjoying a four game home stay ; last Saturday night they dumped the once-beaten Millersville Marauders 65-56; on Wednesday they met the unpredictable Mansfield Tutors, who defeated the locals in the Mountaineer gym 48-44 to post their lone win of the Conference. If the Huskies get by Mansfield they will entertain the Golden Rams with an unblemished home record. The rejuvenated Shellymen , bolstered by an upset of high-flying Millersville, will open the game with about the same lineup as saw the opening whistle in the last couple of games. This would show Daly and Byh am in the forward slots, Linkchorst and Williams in the guard position, and towering Legs Erickson in the pivot and center spot. The lineup might change any rninute after the game begins, as spindle-shanked Joe Ondr ula , who kep t the fires burning when they sputtered last week, might move on the court at any tLne along with shifty Larry Ksan znak , always a scoring threat, and Bill Bartleson, returned veteran. Other Husky reserves Shelly can call on and have trust in are Danny Boychuck, Shamokin j unior; Fred Betz, Allen town ace; Big Bob Gerhard, rebound speci alist from Palmerton; and Bob Shuttlesworthf of Ashland fame.. For the invading Rams it will be a sort of revenge game, because of the defeat suffered at the hands of the gridiron Huskies. Last year the Huskies bowed to the Rams in a very close game 61-58 as the freshman football sensation Fred Prender scored 9 points in the last period to spark the victors. This year , the Rams have an all veteran squad led by "Moose" Mazigani 6' 4" center , and cu rren t ly on e of the leading scorers in the Philadelphia area. After this contest the basketball season moves into its final steps. The locals will play Shippensburg here on Wednesday and then travel to three foreign courts to close the season — Indiana, Wilk es, and Harpur, the latter five who are previous victims of the Husky onand-off machine.

Headquarters fo r Betty Barclay Dresses 106 East Main Street Upperclassmen Win Battle of Classes Current Curren ts by Dave Newbury Insinuating- my proboscis . . . At the risk of being told that I'm sticking my nose (see title of this paragraph ) into affairs that aren 't my concern , I would like to give some advice. inI gather that the Frosh are planning on having their the Sadie Hawkins tradition. This in itself will affect ^nnual dance attendance (It spoils the fun of .trying to stick the female with the check). But to go a bit further , they 're even thinking about having the thing in the Old Gym. All I got to say is at least the night watchman will turn up around ten o'clock. Frosh , don't let that band get lonely, think this thing over. Besides if you Freshmen go through with the dance as planned I won't get to go, (I don 't think Joan Enama would ask me.) * . * * *? Working: From the Top Down . . . Lots of times Current Currents sounds like a sports column , but some things just can 't be resisted. (Like girls at leap year). Anyway you look at it, our hot and cold running Huskies put on a terrific show last Saturday nite. With the "cool cat", Linkchorst, plunking those sets to keep the margin of points right, big Doug handling the pivot , Buck hooking on, Daly chunking 'em, and other boys playing scooter, we had Millersville praying for the game to be rained out. (This would take quite a bit of praying since our college is modern and progressive and has a roof on the gym.) Anyhow, I like to see the boys knock off the league-leading hotshots. * * * * * When the Rent Falls Due . . . High up in the garret (fourth floor to you uninitiated) of Waller Hall in a quaint green cubbyhole lives a famous combination known as "Starchy", Grutza and Co. (Grutza is a living member of the wee folk) , who are continually being annoyed at all hours of the night by a big guy in a striped bathrobe. Grutza would like me to announce that if he's going to spend so much time in the room, "Bob" will have to start helping to pay the rent. * * * * * * It's a Big", Wide Wonderful World . . . Their are certain elements on the campus, and among the faculty who fee] that Day Women dp not get enough recognition as far as awards, etc., are concerned. Now, I'm not agin day girls—in fact, I'm for 'em (sometimes after them), but really they're practically 99 44 100% pure when it comes to contacts with the on campus student group. They go to class, then zip—they scuttle back to the day room. When classes are through they're gone till the next day. Taking part comes before recognition ; you girls should get out and see the big, wide student world that we live in. (Yes, E. T., that is a preposition on the end. ) ¦•¦ ¦ * * * * Current Currents on Co-ed Contests . . . With the Obiter forging ahead and advance sales (This is the reverse of the great American inflation aid called credit buying) in the offing, I see visions of co-eds contesting each other. Having long since given up predictions, I merely want to present some likelies based on the 30- 60- (uncorrected) eyes of yours truly. The following are with spectacles in position : Joan Enama , Dolores Doyle, Shirley Eveland, and Peg Bourdette. This sort of thing never gets dull.
