New Dean Will Succeed Dr. North As Instruction Head in January Semester One of the busiest men on the B.S.T.C. campus and certainly one of the most well-liked by faculty, students and administration alike, Dean John A. Hoch has been named Dean of Instruction to succeed Dr. Thomas*?. North at the end of the first semester. President Harvey A. Andruss recently announced that Dean Hoch, who has been assistant football coach, director of public relations, and chairman of the Athletic Commit t ee sin ce 1946, will assu me his new duties with the beginning of the second semester on January 25, 1955. The new dean of instruction is a native of Milton , Pennsylvania, and graduated from the Milton High School. He holds the Bachelor of Arts degree from the Pennsylvania State College and the degree of Master of Arts from Bucknell University. He has done additional graduate work at the Pennsylvania State University. Following his graduation from Penn St ate in 1933, Dean Hoch taught in the Milton Junior High School for eleven years and in the Milton Senior High School for one year, before accepting a position on the faculty of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1946. He succeeded William Landis as dean of men in 1947. Dean Hoch was one of the pioneers in the founding of the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Athletic Conference in 1950, and he has served as secretary-treasurer of the state-wide organization since its beginning. Succeeding John Hoch as dean of men is Jack W. Yohe, present assistant dean of men and head football coach at B.S.T.C.

Religion-in-Life Wk Highlighted By Noted Leaders Religion-in-Life Week is observed on campuses throughout the United States. This year, for the first time, a top-notch program has been planned for a Religionin-Life Week on our campus by a committee composed of Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish students under the guidance of Mr. Hinkel, sponsor of the Student Christian Association, and other members of the faculty. Perhaps you are wondering just what a Religion-in-Life program has to offer you ? If you take an active part in the program, you should have a better understanding of your own religion along with that of your classmates. You should also have a better insight into what your church has to say about such subj ects as drinking, dating, and mixed marriages. The program set up by the committee is as follows : The Rev. Raymond Shakeen, Pastor of Messiah's Evangelical Lutheran Church, South Williamsport, is the speaker on Tuesday, Nov . 16, at 10 a.m. At 7 p.m. is an informal discussion on "How Can Deal with the Social Problems of the Campus?" will be h eld in the Social Rooms, Science Hall. Wednesday, November 17, at 7 p.m. a Vesper Service will be held in Carver Auditorium. The speaker will be Rabbi Isaac Vander Walde, Congregation Beth-el, Sunbury. At 8 p.m., an informal discussion on "What Should the Boy-Girl Relationship Be During Courtship?" will be conducted in Science Hall Social Room. Thursday, November 18, at 10 a.m., The Rt. Rev. Monsignor George D. Mulcahy, V. F., Pastor, St. Edward Church, Shamokin, will preside. At 3:30 p.m., the topic "What Are the Problems of Mixed Marriages?" will be discussed in Science Hall. We have three fine speakers who will present keynote addresses on our ,theme, "We Seek God." The Rev. Shaheen is a graduate of Susquehanna University and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. He has participated in various Religion-in-Life Week conferences on college campuses. He has been serving in Williamsport since 1940. Rabbi Vander Walde was born in Germany; he received his Ph.D. degree and was graduated from a Rabbinical School in Hamburg. He is chaplain for Jewish inmates at the Federal Penitentiary in Lewisburg, at Laurelton State Village, and at Danville State Hospital. He is counselor of Hillel , the Jewish student group, at Bucknell. Monsignor Mulcahy attended Mount Saint Mary's College and Seminary, .Emmitsburg, Maryland , and was ordained to the holy priesthood 'in 1934, He was Diocesan Director of Scou ti n g an d B.S.T.C. To Bid Farewell to Dr. North As He Announces J anuary Retirement Plans Dr. Thomas P. North , dean of instruction at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College since 1941, will retire at the end of the current semester, according to an announcement made today by President Harvey A. Andruss. Dean North's retirement will terminate '.more than twenty-five years of service to the local institution and bring to an end an educational career of more than 37 years. Dean Nor th , a native of Punxsutawney, Pa., and a descendant of one of southern Jefferson county 's pioneer Scotch-Irish families, came to Bloomsburg in 1929 to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Professor Oscar Hugh Bakeless. He taught courses in the philosophy of education, school law and administration, orientation and guidance, and educational guidance prior to being named dean of instruction in 1941. During World War II, Dean North served as acting president of the college from July 1 to December 31, 1945 while Presid ent Harvey A . Andruss was on leave of absence, serving as Head of the Department of Accounting, American Army University, Shrivenham, England. Dr. North also served as coordinator of the Navy V-12 Offi cer Training Program during the war years. A graduate of the Punxsutawney High School, *Dr. North holds the Bachelor of Science and the Master of Science degree from the Pennsylvania State College and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Cornell.

But our Editor didn 't reprimand me, so I'm sure you won 't either. At the second meeting of College Council Ed Connolley hobbled in on crutches, Bob Groover arrived with flaming red Greek letters across his forehead and just as the last rap of the gavel sounded , Mr. Hoch. appeared with the usual grin. But atmosphere was that of any regular meeting of the College Council. Who would have thought that in the next ninetyfive minutes we would approve all-nigh t lights for the dormitories? If , and when, we find a way to quiet the guy next door at a reasonable hour, and to continually remind ourselves to turn off the lights when we are not in the room, we will have lights available at any hour. There will be no more need for broken toes, or the flunking of tests. The only problem now is to find a roomie that wants to study all night. Won 't our instructors be surprised when th ey find it impossible to flunk anyone ? After careful consideration , a com m ittee wit h Bob Ev ans as chairman, chose Joanne Hester, Business Education Junior, to represent the Husky teritory at a convention of outstanding college students, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association. Congratulations, Jo! Doctor and Mrs. North extended their annual gesture of hospitality to the Council to hold one of the November meetings or the early December meeting at their Millville Road home. We managed to avoid the problem of Freshmen Customs, but the attendance at football games and the general student morale caused quite a stumbling block. Just about everyone seemed disturbed with our lack of spirit. Before yours truly knew what had happened he found himself on a committee with Jim Nicholas and Arnie Garinger, inj ecting a little pep into the week preceding Hazel and our Homecoming. We did a lot of cheering, and if it had any effect on the score of the Wilkes game, let 's for goodness sake have some more of the same thing. Now don 't think that we advocate any dorm raids, such as we all enj oyed before the big West Chester game last year. As a warning to any anxious men hoping to visit the feminine halls of Waller during some spirited meeting in the court, wait until Homecoming '55; the girls will invite you then. This campus is too nice to leave as a result of a trek through the girls ' dorm. Through the fine efforts of Mary Hoff eck er an d Dick Bittner w e will soon have a club sponsored by the Social and Recreation Committee where Bridge will be taught and played. Dr. Englehardt and Miss Macdonald have thoughtfully agreed to sponsor this reactivated Social Usuage Clu b , which was discontinued several years ago. We used our new policy for distributing tickets for the Civic Music Association and it worked very well. But what happened to the sixty-three students who took tickets and failed to find the high school ? One hundred and thirtytwo of our friends enjoyed the program very much; it's a shame so many of us didn't find time to get there. Joan Christie came to our third meeting with several complaints concerning line crashing at breakfast by the student teachers. We immediately referred the com plaint to the Dining Room Committee, and from all appearances the situation has been corrected. Once again the old problem of high school award sweaters and letters being worn on our campus was attacked by Mr. Hoch. If our hard earned Varsity "B" is to be a distinction we must keep other awards in the bureau drawers and clothes closet. The men of the Varsity Club will be tapping the shoulder of any violator they see, Let's j ust wear our old awards to Hometown sporting events. The kids in Junior High like to remember you as their hero . The gals on Council were all upset when we said that the Canteen might be moved to the basement of North Hall during the remodeling of parts of Waller Hall. They calmed a bit when they were told that the Administration was also considering Navy Hall, since the mail boxes and the Book Store will be moved there shortly. At any rate in the near future a place will be found where records can be played, gossip exchanged, and orange juice consumed. Profile of the Week An Up-Valley man, an avid sportsman, a Chrysler booster, and a business student of the j unior class—five diversified assets which make James Nicholas our choice for the Profile of the Week. Jim , also known to his friends as "Nicky ," "Bones," and "Daddy 's Boy," hails from Edwardsville. He graduated in 1952 from Edwardsville High School and enrolled at Bloomsburg in September of the same year. While at E.H.S., "Ni cky " was vice-president for three of his four classes, entering politics in his sophomore year. He was exposed to more politics by being homeroom president for three successive years. He was also treasurer of Delt a Phi Sigma, a high school fraternity. Jim immediately captured the confidence of his fellow freshmen who elected him vice-president of the class. His interest in sports came with him, also, and he became a member of the Pep Committee. More recently, Jim was chosen Wrestling Manager of the newly added sports attraction of the College. Besides being associated with the more or less unnoticed jobs of college sports, Jim was Mr. Commissioner of the 1953-54 I n t r a m u r a l Baseball League. This year Jim is continuing to delegate and officiate , but through another organization—the Dining Room Committee, of which he is an assistant headwaiter. The B.S.T.C. gr aduates in the armed forces receive regular issues of the Maroon and Gold through the services of Jim, who is in charge of G.I. Mail Circulation. If any students know of people who are not receiving M & G, give Jim the address, and you can be certain that he will take control and arrest any complaints. Large ameuntg of cordiality, h u mor , and varied conversational pieces make Jim a most valuable member of the Hospitality Committee of the Business Education Club, to which he has belonged since coming to the "College on the Hill." If , and when, he graduates—as Jim puts it—he wants to follow in the footsteps of his mother and become a teacher ; that is, after his years of service with the armed forces are completed—"if and when" he qu alifies. What's Your Opinion? "Tie my shoelaces, frosh! Carry my books!" These commands are j ust a sample of those freshmen had to obey during Freshmen Week. "What did you think of freshmen customs for 1954?" The following students expressed their opinions of freshmen customs : Shirley Seller: "It was terrific!! With Ken Weir as M.C, and the co-operative freshmen, it cou ldn 't go wrong. I know everyone got many good laughs out of the trials, though some of them did get a little wet." Sue Hoffman : "I really enj oyed freshmen customs and thought they were lots of fun. I believe that most of the kids really took customs with a smile and had a grand time. The trials, which were well-organized, were a great climax to our weeks of customs. They were really interesting for those who participated and also for those who watched." Sandy McBride: "Have you ever sung our Alma Mater about ten times in three minutes ? Or 'made like a siren ' about five times on the way to Science Hall ? If you walked across the campus during Freshman Week and noticed girls walking silently to class and then all at once squatting and screaming at the top of their lungs, you were probably witnessing customs activities. Actually, customs turned out to be loads of fun. Most of the freshmen co-operated very well, and on the whole, none of the upper-classmen took advantage of their authority. Name signs were really a help, too. Trials were a riot and a good way to climax customs. Both the 'frosh' and upper-classmen deserve credit for a comical and successful initiation. AI Miles: "I think customs were quite successful this year. I also think that the customs committee did a very fine j ob in organizing freshmen trials. The freshmen should be congratulated on their fine co-operation, which Is more than I can say for the upperclassmen. Apparently, the upper-classmen don 't realize that it is the function of the customs committee to plan customs—not enforce them. It is the upperclassmen's duty to enforce them. I think if this problem were corrected, customs would be more successful." Fro m the CLUB HOUSE BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS The weekly meeting of the Bloomsburg Players was held on Tuesday, November 2, in Carver Hall Auditorium. Alvin Davis, president, presided. The club members discussed a possible trip to Bucknell University to see a play produced by that university's dramatic club, Cap and Dagger. No definite plans were "made. The club decided to enter a float in the pep parade for the Bloomsburg-West Chester game. After the business meeting, members of Alpha Psi Omega presented a play entitled "Don't Feed the Animals." The cast included Doyle Lynn , David Hi n es, Joanne Hester, Wylla Bowm an , Judy Boiling, Joyce Lundy, Avery Willi ams, Glenna Gebhardt, and Joan Chapin. Constructive criticism was given to the players 'afte r the play. BUSINESS EDUCATION CLUB The Business Education Club met on November 4, 1954, in Carver Hall Auditorium and a movie, "Four Steps Forward", shown. The president, Curtis English, conducted the business meeting where he announced that Robert Abrazinskas had been appointed chairman of the banquet committee. He also announced that Joyce Kline had been named as head of the committee for planning an anniversary booklet. The movie, "Four Steps Forward',, which was shown to the club , was based on the training program that was used during the Second World War to orient unskilled laborers to the work which was formally done by skilled men and women. The four steps in the training program were: Preparation, Presentation, Applicati on , and Final Inspection. It was pointed out in the movie that these four steps, when applied, brought about excellent results and that the training period was shortened considerably by the use of these four steps. jfflaroon anb <@olb PUBLISHED WEEK. * BY AND FOB THE STUDENTS 07 BLOOM8BUR Q STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Editor-in-chief—Joanne Hester Business Manager—George Derk Senior Editorial Board—Charlotte Rummage, Edward Siscoe, Joan Christie.

Bak eless and Katherine Bakeless The recent college library display on "Bloomsburg Writers'" included several literary contributions of Dr. John E. Bakeless, distinguished alumnus of the Bloomsburg State Normal School and wellknown educator, lectu rer , author, and soldier. Professor Bakeless has also assumed the responsibilities of reporter, editor, and political prognosticator. Presently, he is a professor at New York University. Dr. Bakeless, a former resident of Bloomsburg, has written nine books on a variety of subjects covering a thirty-year period, commencing with The Economic Causes of Modern War in 1921 and culminating his stfill active career with a 1951 release, The Eyes of Discovery. Upon completion of his studies at the State Normal School, Professor Bakeless matriculated at Williams College from which he graduated "cum laude " in 1918. In 1920 he received his M.A. from Harvard and completed his work toward a Ph.D. at that same institution in 1936. Since the Bowdoin Prize was established at Harvard, he has been the only man to take this prize in two successive years, one year in literature, the next in biology. Although other men have been two-time winners of this prize, Dr. Bakeless ' accomplishment is singular in that the prize is awarded one year in the humanities, the next in science. Within a span of seven years . Professor Bakeless advanced fr om literary editor to the full editorship of Living- Age. He also served as literary advisor to The Independent and Literary Digest from 1925 to 1926 , and 1937 to 1938 respectively. His career at New York University began as a lecturer on j ournalism in 1927-29, and received an eminence in his appointment to the graduate faculty of that institution in 1948. Dr. Bakeless ' first two books, The Economic Causes of Modern War and The Origins of the Next War, are based on his military observations as an officer during World War I. (He was later to take precedence by his role in studying the Balkan situation for the U.S. Army a year prior to Pearl Harbor .) In The Origins of the Next War, which was his study of the tensions in the modern world, Professor Bakeless was successful in predicting the havoc we knew as World War II. In the preface to that book he says, "The war to end war failed, and the forces essentially identical with those that caused the last world war are actively at work today, preparing the way for a new one."

Three minutes later a Lashendock ariel was intercepted on the Husky 35 by Tom Sacramone, who raced to the one foot line before he was caught. Martone took it over on the quarterback sneak. Sacramone split the uprights, making the score 13-0. With the Huskies still shaking their heads in amazement , the Owls came right back to shake the very foundation of Mt. Olympus, with a third score before the dots had settled on the new electric Scoreboard. This time a fifteen y ard penalty and four pass plays netted the final tally of the first half. The lads from College Hill, were a different team the second half , but the damage was already done. To make m atters even worse, another Bloom fumble was recover ed by New Haven and seven plays, the last being a one yard smash, gave the Owls more than enough to ruin the Huskies' perfect season. After 43 minutes of play had gone by the Huskies posted their initial first down of the contest. This first down touched-off a drive that ended 62 yards later with Alex Boychuck going over from two yards out. About four minutes later Jimmy Browning took a perfect toss from Mike Lashendock for a TD play that covered 67 yards. This was truly the biggest thrill that was afforded Husky fans during the afternoon. Bob Cumens booted his second extra point of the afternoon making the fin al score 26-14.

Charlie Pop e Shines In B.S*T.C Athletics Tom Persing Star s In College Sport s New Novels Added To College Library Miss Elinor R. Keefer, college libr ari an , has announced the ar- rival of several new novels at the library. Among those recommended by her are: Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck This whimsical novel by the author of The Grapes of Wrath and Tortilla Flat takes us back to Cannery Row, the scene of one of Steinbeck's former novels. He has created several groups of ill-reputed but diverting characters and has established them on the California coast. Sweet Thursday is romantic without being cute, rowdy but never vulgar, and at times, broadly satiric. Love Is Eternal by Irving Stone A controversial novel about Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln, Love Is Eternal is a book which attempts to present Mary Todd Lincoln in a new vein — as a woman "cruelly vilified" by the men of her time and misunderstood by writers since. Mary Anne by Daphne du Maurier This semi-fictionalized biography of Miss du Maurier 's greatgreat grandmother transports the reader back a hundred and fifty years to the period when Mary Anne cajoled and manipulated for the fulfillment of her main desires—luxury, power, and a high place in society. Her love affair with the Duke of York, second son of George III, and the sensation she caused by her threat to expose York's indiscreet letters to. public scrutiny constitutes a compelling story of a woman 's intrigue and insatiable lust for power. The Roosovelt Family or Sagamore Hill by Herman Hagedorn Mr. Hagedorn 's "period piece" largely concerns itself with a portrait of Theodore Roosevelt as a husband , father and playmate in this authentic and amusing narrative of life at Oyster Bay. A Bookof-the-Month selection , this story of a First Family is warm and moving.

Huskies Overpower California Vulcans On November 6, the Bloomsburg Huskies continued to hold their first place position in the Pennsylvania State Teachers College conference by overpowering the host California Vulcans by a 21-13 score. It was the fifth win in six starts for the locals , and their second straight conference victory. The 21-13 victory does not tell the whole story, however, as the game was one of those typical steel city brawls. The intensity of the blocking and tackling was an indication of the ferociousness of the two teachers college elevens. It looked like the Huskies were going to start off the game with a bang as Don Thomas' kick-off was fumbled by Gary Kennedy and the Huskies had possession on the California 12 yard line. But the stubborn California line held Jim Browning to 5 yards and Harvey Boughner to 4 in four downs to take over on their own 3 yard line. in xne second quarter, matters changed as Bloomsburg took over their own 27 yard line and took to their old form of running over their opposition. Joe Malczyk started the ball rolling with a 3 yard gain. Fourteen plays later quarterback Mike Lashendock hit Jim Browning with a 10 yard pass to pull Bloom in the lead 6-0. Bob Cumens' placement was good, and the locals led by 7 points at half time. Four minutes after the half st arted , Bill Marime punted for California, with the ball rolling dead on the Bloom 27 yard line. Four plays later Mike Lashendock reared back and threw a breathtaking pass to Moe Morson for the Huskies' second touchdown. It took only several minutes for Bob Cumens to push the score to 14-0 with a perfect placement kick. California came back with a bang and took the kick-off on the 13, running it back to the 38. Milchovich's pass to Panich, an int eferen ce penalty , and Paul Maley' one-yard dash to pay-dirt combined to score the Vulcans' first touchdown. Another point was added as Bakewell's placement cnlit tVip lmricht a. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Skiptunas intercepted a Milchovich pass and lateralled to Lashen dock, who was downed on the 16. An unnecessary roughness penalty moved the ball to the Vulcan one y ard lin e, from which Bob Dipipi , newly-substituted quarterback, darted over for the touchdown. Cumens' 17th consecutive placement this year was good, as the score mounted to 21-7. This lead was cut 6 points shortly after a Thomas' kick was returned by Panich to the 41. Five plays later a pass from Milchovich found its way into the arms of Ron La Fevre for a 24-yard touchdown play. Bakewell's second placement was blocked by Morson. The scoring was over for the afternoon and as the whistle sounded the Huskies had possession on their own 45-yard line. Probably the two most exciting plays of the game were wasted as far as scoring is concerned. One was a 79-yard run by California's speedy Paul Maley to the Husky 1-yard line where he fumbled on the next play. The other was an 80-yard punt return by flashing Jim Browning from his own 10yard line to the California 10 stripe, where the steel city boys held for four downs. aa vs a* * * ^ a^^^^A v w^^>^* «a£^a a^kaa v^ ** TOP to TOE ( Continued from page 1) sweaici whii icu aim luuu stupes in the form of a V at' thi neck.

'- \ Undec~CuM4u U ? ? ? ? ? by Anile Garinger Right now, I'm about 275 milkes from B.S.T.C., riding on a Greyhound bus along with 35 of the tiredest, happiest and greatest bunch of guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. We've just left California (very sad school at this point) and I will say this for them—they were the best team we've played to date, so you can well understand how our boys played. All through the game, all thoughts were on California, but when the final whistle blew, all eyes turned to West Chester and the championship. The general consensus with the team is that we have t6 and are going to beat West Chester, I hope that when you read this, we'll all be happy. For the information of some of our students, yes, we do have a football team. They have a 5 and 1record up to now, and they're pretty darn good, too. When we have a pep rally, try yelling a little bit ; you'll be surprised how it affects you. We're having an interesting trip out and back. I'll tell you a couple of things that are happening. Our bus is not the most, to say the least. Twice we all had to get out and walk up a hill so the bus could make it. I say "all of us" ... Kaminski hid in the back the second time so he wouldn't have to walk. (He was booed. ) I think it was the first time Frank was ever in a hotel. He watched his air conditioner all night waiting for the Pittsburgh TV station to come on. Right now, Dave Johns and Skip Sheridan are sleeping up in the baggage racks. In fact, they're pressing a lot of overcoats free of charge. Something is wrong with Asby, though. He hops around like a frog, screaming and laughing like a maniac. I can't figure it out. Well, my eyes are real heavy, so I think I'll chase Johns out of the rack and catch some sleep. Will write more when I wake up. Guess what ? ? When I woke up, the driver was blowing the horn in front of Long Porch. I'm sorry I didn't write more on the trip, but I was drugged. The last thing I remember was Hoch giving ifie some sort of pill when he saw I was writing my column. While on the subj ect of Hoch, I told a terrible untruth in my last column. John did not kick 3 field goals at Aaron Burr Institute in 1903. He caught the passes which set up the field goals. My apologies, Dean . The stage is being set for the greatest athletic contest of all time. A dual meet in food eating between Kaminski and Jensen should draw 75,000 fans. Admission, one pork chop. Have you noticed the long, haggard look on everyone's face ? Know why? Naturally, because it's grade time once again. Although grades dp set up a better learning situation, most people think they should be done away with. What, you're not worried ? Take a look in the mirror, frien d, everybody worries. And there was light!! Is it not wonderful to come in after 12:00 and not have to fall over roller skates, bb guns, and coal pails ? Let's keep them on by turning them off when leaving your room. (Unless your room-mate should happen to be studying. ) We thank you C.G.A. (I'm in on it, and you're welcome), for giving us "all nite lites." Where did the new sayings come from ? ? I picked them up from John Koch and added a couple and everyone else added theirs. Have you heard them all ? Hi gang, hi group, hi bunch, hi multitude, hi friends, hi kinds, hi hons, and many more that I can't think of. Wonder what guests at B.S.T.C. think when they hear all this ? Oh, must say something about C-notes. Thanks so much Corinne who takes over every other issue. It really helps me out. I heard some folks say her's was short. Did you ever write a first issue of a column? It' about the hardest thing in the world to do. Try it sometime. Guess what one roomie named Derk did ... Got a parking ticket, went down to pay the fine right away like a good citizen, and parked by a fire plug while paying the fine. Not too dull-witted!! (He didn't get the . second fine ... nice policeman.) Well, at this point there isnt' much more, except that I'm so hepped up over the West Chester game that I couldn't think of what to write even if something else was important. Now , I'll really stick my neck out and say, "So long, hoping you had a nice Monday off." — U.C. P.S. Attention : C-notes ... My mother has a pet octopus at home that does everything right-handed.
