Rygiel, a faculty member of the Business Education Department, is co-author with Dr. Charles G. Reigner, president of the H. M. Rowe Company of a typewriting textbook, "Rowe Typing," thlra edition, which is published by the Rowe Company. The book was copyrighted in January. A copy of the textbook has been placed in the college library, This year was the first in many years of Community Government Association elections at Bloomsburg State Teachers College in which there was no primary election held because of scarcity of candidates. The complete apathy of students concerning nominations and election to Community Government offices was evidenced by the lack of campaign slogans, signs, and general excitement. The primary election, which is ordinarily held two weeks before the general election, tends to stimulate the student body to an awareness of the importance of these offices. However, the only campaigning was that done in Assembly with speeches delivered by the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. George Derk, present C. G. A. vice-president, introduced the candidates in the absence of President Mike Crisci. He stressed the fact that the candidates and students should become better acquainted. Joseph Kinder was the first presidential candidate to speak. He believes that as students at Bloomsburg, each and every one of us has obligations both to our instructors and friends—both more important to ourselves. He also thinks that members of C. G. A. are obligated to select the best possible choices to represent us in College Council, and that we owe it to ourselves to select the man who would do the best job. "I will not make promises now that cannot be kept later. I will, however, promise you sincerely that , if I am elected President, I will always keep in mind that it was you who have given me this honor and that your interests, ideas, and desires, must, if possible , be carried out," maintained Mr. Kinder. Edward Connolly, second candidate to speak for the office, stressed the importance of voting. He cautioned students not to be hasty in their decision, but to think and then to vote for the candidate that is best qualified to speak for them. Since he has been both a day and dorm student, he feels that he is well equipped to serve the needs of all students. Carl "Dutch" Meyer, the first speaker for the vice-presidency of C.G.A., declared that there is one primary purpose of a campaign speech, and that is to persuade voters to vote for a particular candidate. According to Mr. Meyer, there are also other purposes behind campaign speeches, one of which is that it affords the candidate an opportunity to put himself in front of the people; the other that it gives a candidate the opportunity to present a political platform. "Since I cannot present a political platform because 1 have no party affliation , I am not obligated to do any favors for any individual or group. I will make one promise, and that is, if elected, to perform the duties of vicepresident in a manner that will do credit to you." The final speaker for the office of vice-president was Edward Siscoe who stated : "Before asking ' for your aid, or seeking your support, or knocking at your door of Trust and Confidence, many qualifications are needed that can be ( Continued on page 2) Carl Meyer Edward Siscoe OFFICIAL ELECTION RETURNS ¦ Connolle y • i&S 'a^p '£ 7$ Meyer P 0/ Hoffecker Hurt t :/ : &r.£?

Ed Club 19, in Carver Hall Auditorium. President William Jacobs presided, and roll call was taken by George Kallenbach. Among the most important topics discussed at the meeting were the selection of a location of the Senior Class Banquet and Ball, the election of an Ivy Day Orator, and the choice of a suitable class memorial. It was announced that the Senior Banquet and Ball will be held on Thursday, May 20, and the class was asked to choose from the locations approved by the administration. The site selected by the class is the Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas. Nominations for the orator of the Ivy Day ceremony were announced and after the election was h eld , it was decided that the speaker would be Edward Longo. This year the ivy will be planted on the west wall of Waller Hall court. President Jacobs asked the members of the class for suggestions concerning a commencement speaker. These suggestions will be referred to President Andruss for approval. The members of the Class Memorial Committee presented their reports on the various suggested class memorials, and it was finally decided that the most fitting memorial for the class of 1954 would be a scholarship fund. The policy for the administration of these scholarships has not yet been decided upon , but will be announced when the plans are completed. The members of the Class Memorial Committee are Elaine Yeager, Dave Superdock , Harriet Williams, Charles Andrews and Thomas Rowley. The 1954 Olympian will be available on April 9.

Sherrill Hiller , secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting and Don Carey gave the treasurer 's report. Miss O'Loughlin reminded the club of the Business Education Club Banquet to be held at the Moose Home, May 12, at 6:30 p.m. She also reminded the group that guests will be welcome. A nominating committee was named to select candidates for next year 's officers. The members of this committee are : Nancy Homsher, Sara Jane Hoffman, Grace Ott, George Derk, Donald Carey, Curt English, and Mary Jane Miller. The vice-president then turned the meeting over to Connie Ozalas, of the program committee, who introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Walter Neeley, of Bell Telephone Company, who spoke on new developments of the telephone company during a period of one-quarter century. Mr. Neeley told the club that in 1927 the first overseas telephone call was made, .and that today 96 per cent of telephone calls can be made and reached in the person 's own home. Mr> Neeley also told the club that the United States is preparing, along with Great Britain , to place the first under-sea telephone cable. Another new development is mobilephones. These have become very common in larger centers but are not yet available in Bloomsburg. Mobile-phones b^ave no wires but work by means of short-wave. They work both ways, and from / them calls can be made to 96% of the telephones in the world. The local police cars are equipped with telephone equipment that is not attached to the central telephone company, but j ust from the police station to the squad cars, The state police also have a special telephone service which Is > limited to state police vehicles. Still another development ,4s the ra dio micro-wave system "'Which operates across country throug h ( Continued on page 4) Jfflaro on anb #olb PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY AND F O B THE STUDENTS OF BLOOMSBUB Q STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE PACE SETTER S By Joan Curilla Ahhh—I saw a butterfly today.

By the way, this paragraph was going to start out with "something old and something new. " Then we were going to tell you the what and whereabouts of last year 's graduates. However, total infor mation hasn 't been turned over t o u s yet , so you can be looking for it next time. Just thought you'd be interested in knowing what happens to some of the girls who leave B.S.T.C. First we have the regular coverage of dinners, luncheons and, oh yes, that special meal. We'll begin with tha t since "breakfast" is usually the first meal of the day. Some of the senior girls were discussing the idea of having a special dinner and came up with this plan. Of course, they had to leave nome an hour earlier, which made it six o'clock to rise instead of the usual seven! "Le petite dej euner," ( that's French for breakfast) consisted of peaches, bacon and eggs, toast and cocoa. Thi s meal was held in the day women's ki t chen by the senior girls the morning of March 25. Next meal would be lunch, but definitely, and we have one to report. On Friday, March 19, a luncheon was held honoring Miss Barbara Bucher, student teacher. Junior girls planned this feast with chile con carne , bacon , lett u ce, and tomato sandwiches, and lemon meringue pie on the menu. Those enjoying the dinner were Barbara Bucher, Carolyn Yost, Allene Burlingame, Shirley Thomas, Mollie Hippensteel, and Hope Home. The sophomores couldn 't be left out , so this last feast is one which Dianne Jones, Peggy Bartges, Shirley Redline, and Bertie Knouse whipped up in the day room kitchen. The dinner was held March 22 , and the delicious meal consisted of barbequed hamburg on toasted rolls, vegetable soup, potato chips , pickles n' olives, tea , and strawberry gelatin dessert topped with whipped cream. Nominations for class representatives to the official board of the day women were held on Frid ay, March 26, at 12:25. The results are still "top secret," so you can check us next time for them. The nominations were in charge of Miss Waldren , Dean of the Day Women; and Hope Home, president of the day girls ' association. Aviation Club To Tour Piper Plant At the regular meeting of the Aviation Club held this week, it was decided that the entire student body would be invited to a tri p to Lock Haven, Pennsylvania for a visit to the Piper Aircraft plant. The date for this trip is to be eith er April 3 or April 10. Transportation will be furnished by members of the club. Reservations for this trip must be made by March 31. Students interested should get in touch with Larry Fiber.

Bloodmobile To Appear at College On April 1, in the Waller Hall Lounge, the Red Cross Bloodmobile will be here in order that the students and faculty may give their much needed blood to help save the lives of those in the Armed Services or victims of tragedy here in our own country. An assembly program clearly explaining the purpose of the Red Cross blood donation drive will be held on Tuesday , March 30. As in the past several years, Dr. Paul Wagner is the B.S.T.C. faculty chairman of this drive. The student committee is headed by Pat Boyle, and is composed of Judy Bauer, Joan Chapin , Ann . Jenkins, Albert a Sema n ski, Joe Albano , Charles Casper, Joe Colone, Carl Hinger, Ed Jones, Jerry Kaufman , Al McManus, and Bernie Mont. Each prospective blood donor will be given a thorough physical examination by the Red Cross doctors in the Waller Hall Lounge, and no person in less than "topnotch" health will be allowed to give his blood. Any student under 18 years of age is ineligible to donate his blood , and students betwen 18 and 21 will be required to have their parents ' permission before their donation will be taken. Special printed forms for such permission will be made available to all students in this age group. Remember, students of B.S.T.C, you are fortunate enough to be living where health , safety, and security are everyday things. Others are not so lucky as you. So, if you are in good health, don 't hesitate; give your much-needed blood to help save the life of someone who may need it badly. Be like some of our fellow students. The Phi Sigma Pi members have already pledged a pint of blood apiece. If you would be a true American , give your blood also. Don 't forget! From 10:00 A. M. to 4:00 P. M. Thursd ay, March 30, 1954!

One player is a sure bet for the All Tournament Team in the high school circuit. He stands about 2 ft. 6 in. and is the cutest little guy you ever saw. He was playing catch with Ondrula last Saturday night and although the basketball was twice his size, he really dazzled Joe with his footwork. He got a real big hand from the crowd , too.

There seems to be a private war going on between Bud Thomas and George Kallenbach. Bud has only been here a while, but eyeryone knows him. He especia lly makes a hit with the ladies.
