Meeting Is Held By Senior Class To Pick Memorial The Senior class held a meeting the morning of March 20, beginning at 9 A.M. The secretary of the class read the minutes of the previous meeting, reviewing the previous work of the class. The first hour was concerned mainly with selecting a class memorial. Leonard Galiley, chairman of the committee, reported on the work of that group, giving details concerned with each of the memorials suggested at the last class meeting. The class had voted three hundred dollars with which to give a class memorial. Among suggestions made were : a scholarship, a bronze dog, stage curtains, a college lodge, and money for the maintenance of soccer. Most of the suggestions, Galiley stated, were either impossible or hampered by the small amount of money available. Stage curtains would cost well over a thousand dollars; soccer expenses would be far beyond the money allotted by the class. A college lodge would necessitate putting the 1952 money into the general fund already established for that purpose. As for the bronze dog, bronze is extremely scarce now, and the committee was unable to obtain ( Continued on page 4) CALENDAR of COMING EVENTS TUE SDAY , MARCH 25 4:00 Women 's Chorus Carver Hall 7:00 Bloomsburg Players * Carver Hall 7:00 Alpha Psi Omega Carver Hall 6:45 Sigma Alpha Eta Science Hall WEDNESDAY , MARCH 26 Lenten Service 12:30 Carver Hall 4:00 Men 's Chorus Science Hall THURSDAY , MARCH 27 Athenaeum Club 3:00 Science Hall Science Club 3:00 Science Hall 7:00 Pi Sigma PI Science Hall TUESDAY, APRIL 1 7:00 Bloomsburg Players Carver Hall 7:00 Alpha Psi Omega Curver Hall THURSDAY, APRIL 3 Business Club 3:00 Navy Hall Poetry Club 3:00 Nootling Hall 7:30 Gamma Theta Upsilon Science Hall FRIDAY , APRIL 4 Easter Recess Begins at Close of Classes.

Big League Baseball \ i '< i ; ! I ! \ i I I ! ; I I i I I The American League pennant race again looks like a tight battle between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians . Other teams that could challenge the fa vorites are the Chicago White Sox, Boston IJed Sox, and the Detroit Tigers. As usual the perennial tail-enders will be the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Athletics , and St. Louis Browns. The Yankees have a good outfield , fair infield , good pitching and excellent catching. Tho oui fielders include Micky Mantle, Hank Bauer, Jacky Jensen , Gene Woodling, Bob Cero, and possibly Archy Wilson. All are gopd hitters who have proved their wort h to the threetime champions . The infield will see Joe Collins playing first base again , the perennial Yankee snro spot, Gil McDougald at second base, Scooter Rizzuto at. shortstop, and rookie Bob Carey at third base. Yogi Berra will again be the work horse behind the plate. Starting pitchers are Vic Raschi . Ed Lopat , Tom Morgan . Allie Reynolds, Jim MacDonald , and a new requisition from the St. Louis Browns. There are also a few good rookie pitchers playing with the team , including Ed Miller up from Buffalo. If several of the new men come through in typical Yankee style, there is no reason why Casey Stengel cannot once again bring the pennant to New Bronx. The C l e v e l a n d I n d i a n s with their superior pitching staff of Bobby Feller, Mike Garcia , Early Wynn , and Bobby Lemon will again bo a contender. If their outfield can be strengthened by the addition of a long ball hitter to support Larry Doby and Dale Mitchell. Then , together, with the slugging of Luke Easter and Al Rosen together with tho steady play of Bobby Avila could prove trouble to the Bronx Bombers.

Tommy Goodwin , tow headed dash man , Dave "Dumper " Evans, Reading shotput artist , and Bill Radzwich , West Hazleton's cinder flash , are all on the campus but have not reported for the running sport. Charlie Brennan and Jack Schaar, distance men, are still undecided as to what action they will . take. In place of the missing Tom Spack we find West Pittston's John Scrimgeur taking over the javelin ; he may also enter some other events. It's impossible to teJ ] what the outcoming freshmen have to offer , as there have been no time trials, but it must be pointed out that the burden of the season will fall mostly on their shoulders. The Huskies' season schedule is again loaded with some of the best in the state. They will meet Shippensburg, Lock Haven , and West Chester, who all boast top rank teams. They are also entered in the famous Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the State Teachers meet. Where Dud Took His Girl BART PURSEL for CLOTHING TUBS. & WED.

MEN and BOYS Dress and Sport Clothes We Rent Formal Wear Letter to the Editors Current Currents by Dave Newbury ** J. ^ ^ . > _ . ^ . . . _ . . . . _ - _ _ The Price is Right . . . Now and then there comes a semi-formal dance which really has a selling point. Such a one is the Day-Dorm Dance to be held on the 28th. The selling poin t is the price—it's free. Free! Free! (This not only means I appreciate the idea , but it also increases my word count .) What a lot of us don 't realize (when we stop to; if we do) is that our Day Men 's and Dor m Men 's Association are really active and powerful gr oups on campus. What' s more they take part in college life . Don 't go through life ( college or otherwise) being a spectator . * * * * * The Sons of the Sackbirri . . . Careful investig ation over a long period of time (five and a half semesters ) has led to the conclusion that the maj or extra-curricular acti vity is not playing Hessian , or dating, or even . . . eating. It' s sacking! This is sometimes Called the "rest cure." It consists of spending all your waking hours sleeping (a difficult trick. ) Some students are maj oring in it and have already completed a course in Sack III. One of the maj or exponents of this fine skill (He will soon be available as an instr uctor) is George "Rip Van Winkle " Kallenba ch. George even sleeps through Sunday dinners. Many of his close companions thought he was suffering from an attack of Trypanosoma gambiense (sleeping sickness to you , Business, Elementary and Physical Scien ce maj ors.) At any rate , for the sheet musi c to "The Song of the Sackbird" see George Kallenbach on fourth floor , Waller Hall. •h •*• iU * * My How the Time Flys By . . . By the time this conglomeration is available to my avid ( ?) fans (or critics) there will only be ten days until Easter Vacation. This means the numerous gals will be picking a new hunk of millinery and numerous guys will be wondering where to get the jack to take out the girl at home who is never mentioned to the girl at school. Spring should be in the air someplace by tha't time and everyone should be planning on going to the Junior Prom on April 25. After vacation there will be only 28 days of classes left for everyone who doesn't have Saturday classes. * * * * * Elections in Retrospect . . . . Since all the elections will be over by the time you all read this , what I have to say will carry as much weight as Congressional advice to Harry S. The primary election returns showed a decrease from last year with 739r of the students voting; there should be an increase for the general election. (This thing of writing while looking backwards is difficult.) The faculty interest in the primary was fair with twenty-one out of forty-eigh t voting. The President of the C.G.A. will be an accomplished fact by this time ; I hope no one became confused by all the publi city and stuff. Whoever is President next year should be glad we have a system where the whole group follows the will of the maj ority . * * * * * The Miscellaneous Plugs Section . . . Did you remember to order your Obiter , College Yearbook ? If you buy one I can guarantee it will be different, arty, well-composed , and yours. Save a free night on April Fool's Day to see the Bloomsburg Players present , "Yo u Can 't Take It With You." (I' m not sure, but this may be the story of a student entering class with a pony.) Jim Ciavaglia gave me a load of information about the play, "It has three acts!" A kind word for F.T.A. for sponsoring another high school student visitation to The Hill. :j: * * * * A Meal lor Musclemen . . . Last week was the occasion for another Athletic banquet for the boys from the College, downtown , and who knows where all , who are concerned with sports. I didn 't count the number of banquets this makes for our footballers , but I know that it was a lot and they deserved 'em. (Yes Harold , th e basketball men definitely merited the vitamins also.) One thing sure, unless something miraculous happens , the schedule next year plus the fact that point averages took out of our backfield will make victory banquets a lot harder to come by. ** * * * * and Humble Apology . . . Abject An To Jimmy Johnson , that Mexican Irishman from Sweden , who is head of the Benton B-Bar-B Boys, for using his favorite , origi nal , and perhaps copyrighted expression , "Rid e hard , and shoot straight!" I really don't wart to get a reputation for being a plagarist. (Mainly 'cause I'm not sure what it means. ) ( Contin ued from page 2) This sit uation could very easily be corrected and while it would involve some expense, the results would more than offset this expenditure. With the great number of students attending classes in this building over a span of years, the expense would be exceedingly small in comparison with the- increase in learning. The class rooms should be interchanged. The equipmen t and classroom facilities of the chemistry laboratory should be moved to the fourth floor of the building ; likewise the biological d e p a r t m e n t and its equipment should be moved to the third floor , leaving the two bottom floors free for the classes of art , music , litera t ure , and geography. Foul air and odors would seldom descend to their quarters but could be very easily dispersed into the upper air. Dense clouds of smoky haze would not fill these rooms on the lower floors and consequently the students could concentrate on their instructor and on what he is saying without outside interference . A re-arrangement of this sort could very easily be accomplished during a summer recess. While this would a ff ect the summer sessions in these two science departments , this would not seriously handicap the school or the students. Instruction could , of course, be conducted in some other building during this period . The problem as it is found presently offers no alternative but to make this adj ustment in class room arrangement. With the high cost of building prevailing today, (he constr uction of another building to house these fine arts is out of the question. But in order to help students give their f ull attention to the fine arts field , they should be given every available opportunity by the college. Removing the interferences from the science departments would be a maj or step in this direction . It's All Yours . ? . ( Continued from page 2) these people have little idea at all of what the C. G. A. does. They don 't know when it meets or who it includes . The election of new officers calls for an increased awareness of the pu rposes and obj ectives of any organization. Let' s find out what' s going on , and why, and who makes things ti ck around B. S. T. C. Let's not criticize the w r o n g people and the w r o n g groups , and plague them with unreasonable or misplaced gripes. Let ' s take our troubles to the right people ; let' s try to act like responsible, well-informed citi zens of a community . . . our college community .

Many of thr> criticisms it receives tire j ustified, but more often they are made by self-appointed and appallingly uninformed critics. Many members of the college community are tot ally unaware of the distinctions between the C.G.A. and the College Council. Every student and every fac ulty member in this college is a member of the Community Government Association . This Association is the college as organized for carrying on its affairs. Obviously, such a large group makes business procedings slow and unwieldy, so persons are chosen from the Community Government Association to represent it and administer its affairs. These p ersons c o mp r i s e the College Council. "The College Council," states the Pilot , "administers the affairs of the association , formulate its policies , and act upon cases involving violations of the Community Government Association 's regulations. " 4 1) any estimate of the expense involved. A scholarship fund , to provide fifty doll a r sch ol a r ship s, would run out in six years; ways of renewing it has to be devised. Other suggestions made at this meeting were: floodlights to illumin ate Carver Tower; a television set; a phonograph and records. A v ote was taken , and th e 1952 class memorial will be a scholarship to be awarded ann ually. Placing second in the voting was the suggestion concerning floodlights. The meeting recessed until 11:00 a.m., when plans for the Senior Ball and Banquet were discussed. This event is scheduled for Thursday, May 22, but since Irem Ternpie Country Club will not be available on that date, the Ball will be held one da.y earlier , if such arrangements can be made. If complications should arise, the Ball will be held at the Bloomsburg Moose on May 22, together with a T-bone steak banquet . C.G.A.
