Self-Evaluation
During Assembly

On November 10-12, our carp
pus will be visited by an accrediting committee from the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
The faculty and administration
have already completed their own

prepare a suitable questionaire for
all the students to express their
opinions of life at Bloomsburg, the
college, the teachers, and themselves. This committee, consisting
of Ed Cunfer, Judy Fry, Fred Del
Monte, June Pichel, Dave Newbury, Elaine Gunther, Mike Crisci,
Hope Home, Bill Fisher, Barbara
Bucher, and John Bogdan, represents each class, curriculum, and
group of students living either on
or off campus.

What America Means To Me
by George. Adamchak

I will try to explain what America means to me and why America
has the greatest standard of living in the world today.
In America we have freedom to worship in the church of our choice. '
In some countries the church and government are connected , and the
people may go only to that church.
In America we have freedom of the press which many other countries do not have. Our .newspapers can print the truth without fear of
arrest.
We have hospitals .for hurt or sick people regardless of race, creed,
color , or religion . If they are unable to pay or can only pay part, they
still get the same medical care as the very rich. There are different
kinds of insurances available where for a few dollars a year you are
assured of paid medical attention. Public health nurses play a great
part in nations public schools.
There are public and private schools to choose from and there are
also special schools for handicapped people. Certain standards must be
met to enter colleges but for those unable to pay there are many scholarships available for those who can qualify. Some scholarships are unfortunately based on athletic abilities instead of mental abilities. Fellowships are offered for those who are especially talented by interested
people or companies. That is, 'Dupont, Westinghou se, Rockefeller foundations etc. Our Country spends money for the study and experimenting
in many fields especially those dealing with physical and mental diseases
and cures.
We have public libraries where the public can get free books on any
subject he wishes to pursue.
We have one of the finest governments in the world. We have free

our coeds can certainly look forward to rain drenched afternoons.
Jeannetta Mincer sheds water
like a duck when outfitted in her
moss green raincoat. The soft
corduroy material hangs in full
f old s in the back , lending a box
effect in the front. Black velvet
piping graces the collar and buttons.
Another person who can welcome the downpours is Ollie Fedrigon who chose a fire-engine red
raincoat. The sleeves are real eyecatchers. They have small buttons
which allow th e cu ff to be r aised
or lowered to the desired length.
Olli e's coat is full and fancy too.
To keep those dark curls * sa fe

Walking directly in front of me
on my way to Navy Hall, was a
nerson garbed in a beautiful rust
"R" coat. That person turned out
to be Mae Neugard. The back of
the coat has a yoke which allows
fullness and a slight flare. Four
gold-trimmed buttons held it closed to protect the gay plaid skirt
she was wearing.
Some of t he n icest ou tfits come
under the category of knit suits.
I particularly noticed petite Irene
Endler in a very sleek green suit.
The pencil-slim skirt accentuated
Iren e's tininess. Bat-wing sleeves
and a high neckline were the unusual features that atractted my
attention. Heavy epld jewelry gave
it that look of sophistication.

while the top is a combination
light and dark dots of the same

Joan is ready to go anywhere at
anytime with an outfit like this.
Truly a "femmine fatale " is
Joyce Schofield in her knit suit.
Green is the predominant color;
however a beautiful shade of grey
is added to the blouse in the form
of stripes. Joyce likes to wear a
gold medallion or gay scarf to top
off what I call a "traffic-stopping "
job.
Ann Kornfeld's dark complexion
is really complimented by her
crimson suit. It isn't a bright red
nor is it a wine—a perfect in betweener. The skirt falls in straigh t
lines and is topped off with an unadorned blouse. Buttons from the
peter-pan collar to the waist add
to its beautiful simplicity. Gold
j ewelry added gives all the gayety
necessary to make this an allaround favorite.

Eleanor returned with "Ole South"
as the encore demanded by the
very appreciative audience.

Iohemen Tie
latne First Time
§i Grid Thriller

M^ast Saturday afternoon , the
tSjiemen trekked to California to
jah tle the improved Vulcan to a
stand still before a small crowd of
raLcl's Day guests at the California
mob. School field. Lack of scoring
Uj nch when they needed that exgit few yards cost the Huskies
Ifycral possible scores, but credit
ij flist be given the tough and heavy
(Sftliforni a line too. They held the
Maroon and Gold charges on five
sep arate occasions deep in their
fi on territory when the Huskies
threatened to break into the scori3jr column.
M During --the first stanza, little
ufos shown by either team. Both
offenses felt the weight of two
fcjj u-d hitting lines and neither the
Vul cans nor the ' Yohemen could
n ake any "substantial gains on the
g o und or through the air. In the
second quarter , Barney Oseyala
r pped through the line and sprintefl forty-two yards before he was
ttckled fro m behind. The Huskies
at this point moved toward the
goal, only to be halted within the
Sventy yard line. Later in the
geriod , the Maroon and Gold inVaded enemy territory in a thrust
i j ward the goal, but again the
( rive was stalled. California made
ro great offensive threat , and
yere continually getting out of
deep holes by the fine punting of
\ackfield star Mains.
I In the second half it was much
iJie same story. The Husky drives
fell short three more times, with
pne drive penetrating as far as the
California six yard line. Again the
fr ulcan line held. Before the period ended, Grandy, speedy half
back for the Vulcans, raced forty six yards down to the Bloom
Ihirty^ni ne yard line, where the
Husky defense rose to the occasion
and held the Cals.
I With but a few minutes remaining in the game the Yohemen
:iirove to the Cal ten yard stripe,
but an intercepted pass stopped
Bloom again. Mains intercepted
the ball and was tackled exactly
on the goal line, but nudged his
way out from the final stri pe
about a foot. On first down for
the Vulcans, Zielinski was again
tackled j ust inches short of a
ssafety, and on the final play,
jMains passed out to the fifteen to
;end the scoreless fracus.
I The first downs favored the
Huskies 12 to 9 but the passing
joffense of both teams was weak,
gN either Bloor nor Cal could run
jup as much as two hundred yards
?on the ground as the order of the
[day seemed to be strong defense.
j fThis game also marked the first
|time a Husky eleven had not
Iscored for at least seven years,
fand probably more.
Before the half ended, Charlie
Brenn an , brilliant end for the
Maroon and Gold, was injured,
sidelining him until possibly the
West Chester game.

The last two weeks have been phenomenal weeks in Pennsylvania
grid circles in that the three teams with the longest current winning
streaks in the state fell to the wayside. Two weeks ago, our previously
undefeated Huskies were stopped 33-7 by a potent Scranton University
that is destined to finish the campaign, with a fine record. Last Saturday, two of our once-proud neighbors were slapped into submission when
Johns Hopkins dumped Susquehanna University, and that same afternoon when Colgate defeated Bucknell 28-0, who claimed they could beat
any team in the East. So we see that all teams must acclimate themselves to losing—even if it is only now and then. Fans begin to think
th at a team is no good if it begins to lose. They don't stop to take into
account the type of opposition, injuries, and things of that sort. When
and if they finally do, they will realize that percentages are bound to
catch up to the best sometime or other. We might add in closing that
Bloomsburg is still one of the best despite their loss to Scranton and the
t'ie at California last Saturday. The important thing is that the boys are
still trying their best to win, and they have some victories left in them
yet this season if they continue to show that attitude.
La u rels to Charlie Brenn an, one of the best ends to play ball on
the Hill in recent years. Because of a foot injury suffered in the California contest, he will be sidelined until possibly the West Chester game.
Additional laurels to Bo Rainey whose recovery was welcomed in time
for the game last Saturday. He was injured in the Scranton tilt, but
judging by his performance against the Vulcans, he has recovered very
well.
In the football prediction corner, the last issue found us picking
eight out of ten selections correctly, missing the B.S.T.C. Scranton game
very handily , and Minnesota 's upset win over Illinois. The percentage
for the season is still hovering around eighty with nineteen for twentyfour selected correctly. Here are this week's predictions :

A long-scoring pass from Link>
chorst to Osevala in the opening
minutes of play at Scran ton 's
Memorial Field electrified a throng
of 7,800 fans and stunned the
Scranton Tommies nonetheless.
Thi s pl ay was signifi ca nt no t only
in that it gave the Huskies an
early advantage bijt that it also
served as the spark to set the
Scranton team off and running to
a 33-7 win, snapping the Maroon
and Gold victory skein at 12
fames and ending all hopes of another undefeated season. It marked t he first ti m e since la te in the
1950 season that a Husky team
had tasted defeat , losing then 31-6
to a pow erf u l West Chest er Sta t e
Teachers College team.
Scranton Rebounds
The early seven point bulge enjoyed by the charge of Coach Jack
j oyed by the charges of Coach Jack
ton scoring two plays later on a
lonfr pass by the Tommies quarterback. The try for extra point
failed and the Huskies still led 7-6.
Following the ensuing kickoff
the Huskies appeared headed for
anoth er TD, driving from their
own 38 to the Scranton 23 only to
have a pass interception halt the
drive. l?iis interception served the
same purpose as did the Huskies
early s core , and it wasn't long before the home club reached pay
dirt again. This time the pay off
play was a well run off-tackle
slant that netted 71 yards and
gave Scranton a lead which it was
never to relinquish. The attempt
for the extra point again failed
and the score stood 12-7 in favor
of Scranton. The Tommies scored
their third touchdown after recov^
ering a Husky fumble on the
Maroon & Gold 38 yd. line to take
a 19-7 halftime lead.
Second Half Fairly Even
The early moments of the second half were disastrous ones for
the Huskies as a fumble and a
pass interception, bot h deep in
their own terri t ory , set up the two
remaining Scranton scores. One
was the result of an off-tackle
play from the 3 yd. line and the
other at the end of a 1 yd. trek
around end. The Tommies kicker
was a little more accurate and
registered both extra points by
placement.
Other than these two early
scores, the second half was fough t
on fairly even terms. The Huskies,
however, could never quite generate enough offensive fireworks to
cross that last double line. An oftspoken phrase would be very appropriate as an end to this story
"You can't win them all, fellas ":
Old BSTC is still proud of you.

Bloomsbur fl, Penna ,

The Huskies ring down the curtain on an abbreviated home
schedule tomorrow afternoon at
1:30 p.m. on Mt. Olympus as they
entertain a highly touted New
Haven, ( Connecticut) State Teachers College team. The "Owls " of
Coach Jesse Dow will be coming
here determined to snap the Huskies home winning streak at 24
games and the Huskies will be j ust
as determined to keep this record
intact and also to get back on the
victory trail after losing to Scran- '
ton and being tied by California
in their last two outings on the
road.
This game marks the first meeting of the two schools in intercollegiate competition and should
provide a thrilling spectacle. New
Haven goes into Saturday afterno on's fray sporting 3 wins and 1
loss, their latest outing being a
13-7 loss to King's Point Merchant
Marine Station , always a powerhouse in New England's small college circles. The "O wls " record
over the last 4 years of only having lost 4 games parallels that
held by our own Huskies. Coach
Dow's charges were State Teacher
College Champions of New England last year posting a 6-1 record.
This year 's team includes 22 returning lettermen and is sparked
by the sensational running of
Sophomore half-back "Babe" Amendola , a strong break-away runner. The New England outfit, running from the "T" for mati on, posted early season victories over the
University of Bridgeport, Champlain , and Kutztown before dropping the close decision to King 's
Point.
Five seniors will be. playing
their last home game in Maroon
and Gold moleskins. Three of the
five are endsf one a back and the
other a guard. All of them are
playing their fourth year of football here on the hill. The three
senior terminals are Russ Verhausky from Coaldale, Charlie
Brennan from Towanda, and Gene
Morrison, a downtown product.
Brennan definitely won't see action because of a foot inj ury but
Verhausky and Morrison are slated
for full time duty. The lone senior
in the backfield playing his last
home game is reliable and seasoned Dave Linkchorst, who hails
from nearby Shenandoah. Dave's
quarterbacking has been responsible for the good record the
Huskies have posted so far this
year. The remaining senior is Ardell Ziegenfuse, the rough and
tough guard from Ashland. Ziggy
has been a stone wall on defense
all year as well as a stalwart on
offense.

Weekend Vacuum
C. C. is not try ing, to wear out the string on his harping harp, but
just what kind of college is it that disbands on Friday evenings and
reorganizes again on Monday mornings ? Do the students (a general
term ) go home on weekends because there is nothing to do here, or is
there nothing to do because the students go home ? Someone (durin g
the week when they 're around ) should look into this angle of Ihe thing .
Maybe if some group or organization had the guts to plan an event for
the weekend that required student participation to succeed , the kids
would stay for it. Maybe it's the other way around. Whatever it is that
needs doing I wish somebody would take a look at the situation ; it get s
awful lonely in that lounge playing Chinese checkers by myself.

Dormitory Rii'o
Time was when dorm men thought it was enough to have a friendly
( ?) card game and bull session by way of late evening entertainment ,
but now dorm boys, most of them Freshmen, feel it necessary to raise
pandemonium with water, laundry carts, and transom raids. C. C. never
claimed to be an authority oi\ how people should be good boys, but there
is no doubt that such stuff can only make dormitory regulations more
disagreable to everyone. With plans in the making concerning late dorm
lights, I strongly urge that the boys cool down in the interest of a
brighter future. At least stop the trolley service between the two sides
of Waller Hall. We 're all out of high school you know.

They Keep Getting Biffger and Better . . .
I hope the Frosh will forgive me for not getting details and all , but
I'm writing this blurb before the event. From what I can garner concerning this year's version of the Frosh Talent Show it is loaded for
laughs. The Maroon Dink is the name; the talent is terrific and the
script is the same. By the time this columnar mixture of stuff and such
is read by you, you will all have enj oyed a fine show.
Here's Looking- at Vs . . .

An evaluating committee will be coming on campus soon to give
us a check-up. If you aren't particularly interested in this piece of info
now, you will be when you go to teach. Evaluation and accrediting by
important educational associations does mean something to us, if in
nothing else, at least in terms of that long green stuff. Teachers are
worth more if they come from colleges with good connections. When
this group of evaluators hits campus soon, don 't put on the dog, j ust be
your usual polite, helpf ul selves. Yes, I'm still talking about? Bloomsburg
students.

A Problem Removed . . .
One of the problems 'hanging over the maj ority of the male population here on "the hill" is that ill wind called the draft. At least one of
the boys is free from nagging doubt about his future—he 's been draf ted.
Bill Cra mmer, inmate of North Hall, roommate of Mike Crisci (and even
stranger, his friend), business student , and owner of a car (always an
asset around here ) will report on November 5 for (gulp) induction.
Willy tells me that of thirty-seven people he apprised of his coming
trip, thirty-six and one-half said, "Oh goody, now we can have a farewell
party!" What did I have to say to this ? "Okay, Will , I'll spread the
time and place through the grapevine." Seriously though , when anyone
leaves Bloomsburg he takes part of it with him. Good luck to you
"Curley ".
* * * * >»
And then, there's Football . . .
The only bad thing about not winning is losing. I hear Numerous
comments pertaining to football here on the Hill and have come to the
conclusion that when, some students moan about a loss they are only
proving one thing—we're all spoiled. I know I am. This will be my
fourth year here at B.S.T.C. (only two more to go) and in that time
Huskies have lost only three games. How many other college seniors
can say that ? Sure, we lost to Scranton and we relearned an almost
forgotten lesson—how to lose with good grace. And California ? Ask
Charlie Brennan if those guys weren't giving it their best. You don 't get
inj uries like twisted vertebrae, bad ankles, and torn muscles by looking
at the game from the bench. The next game will be a home game, it.
will be interesting to see how many kibitzers attend.

Students Conduct
Self-Evaluation

(Continued from page 1)
Last Tuesday during chapel oxercise , everyone was given an opport unity to help in the self-evaluation of this college. Twelve
thought-provoking questions were
listed for the. students ' opinions.
There were items about our library facilities, freedom in choosing
electiv es, achievement of the goals
in our orientatio'n program , the
caliber of instru ction received
here, the faculty-student relationship, the ability to compete upon
grad uation from Bloomsburg with
liber al art graduates in the teaching profession , the adequacy of our
recreational activities , the value .1of our assembly and evening programs, the adequacy of our socia l
program , the opportunities for
participating in extra -curric ular
activities , and the effectiveness of
student representation in our community government .
The work of the student evaluation committee is not ended . Tlio
quest ionaires must be carefully
compiled , and a list must be prepared of all worth-while suggest ions for the improvement of life
at this college. Then a report will
be prepared to present to the administration. The purposes for
this report are two-fold . First of
all , this report will present to the
administration the students ' own
evaluation of themselves , their
school , their faculty, and their curricula . Secondly, the constructive
criticism by the students in their
suggestions will be presented by
the College Council to the administration . In this way, the students
themselves have had an opportunitv to assert themselves and bring
better conditions to 'the friendly
college on the hill. '

Miss Neff's point of view is modern , with here and there a lesson
taught by way of entertainment .
Her clear enunciation and astounding ability to change her voice
register makes her program a constant series of surp rises to her
audience. Her early training in
the legitim ate theatre has endowed her with superb timing and
poise, and her sympathetic understanding makes her program delightful to audiences , both young
and older.
