Blood Mobile to Marine Officer Return to Campus To Visit B.S.T.C. Capt ain E. H. Utley, the Marine On February 14th Corps Officer Procurement Officer , The Mobile Blood Unit from Wilkes Barre will once again appear on the campus of Bloomsburg Stat e Teachers College. For the entire day of February 14 the unit will be ready to serve the student s, faculty, and staff of the college. The location of the unit is not yet Known because of extensive renovations, but it will be announced as soon as possible. During the past four years, Bloomsburg State Teachers College has donated 616 pints of blood. 187 pints were given in one year , the best ever for the college program. Although this proj ect is definitely a student function, the faculty and staff are urged to also rlnnatp. The stipulations tor giving blood are that the student wno is under twenty-one years of age may give blood providing they have a re lease signed by their parents. Those students who are over twenty-one may donate of their own accord . B.S.T.C. has always done a tremendous j ob of giving blood. It is a good experience for future teachers because they will be called upon to do the same j ob when they are out of college. Dr. Paul Wagner, who is the faculty sponsor of the bloodmobile, wants no credit for the work that has been done. He gives it all to the student committee who have worked hard during the past years to get donors and this year seems to be no exception. This committee is headed this year by Alberta Semanski, with the folowing students as members: Bob Aurand, Joan Christie, Jan Feren ce, Ruth Hippensteel, Mary Hoffecker, Ann Jenkins, Diann Jones, Joe Keefer, Donald Levan, Joyce Lundy, Carl Meyers, Mike Moran, Pat O'Brien, John Panichello, Jean Robinson, Roy Rosenberger, Judy Stephens, Edward White, and Ann Swortwood. Rember that you may be saving someone's life with the pint of blood that you donate on February 14. Give cheerfuly with the knowledge that you are aiding some accident victim, some wounded soldier, or some critical patient in his fight for survival. L. S, A. Meeting The regular supper meeting of L.S.A. was held on January 3, in the Bloomsburg Lutheran Church. This was the first supper meeting of the new year and a delicious spaghetti dinner menu was served. A short devotion period was held , followed by an interesting movie, "Answer for Anne " showing the pathetic plight of displaced persons who would like to become American citizens and the answer Anne found to her problem told the story most eloquently. A friendship circle was formed to end the meeting. "TO SEE YOURSELF" (Page 2, Column 1) We suggest you read it!

Nancy Renn and EiBertie Knouse leen WatBon To See Yourself This editorial has beea prepared at the request of, and with the assistance of, a group of students. The text of this article represents the views of that group, and not those of any one individual. Our purpose in writing this editorial is not the usual one. We are not attempting to arouse anyone to some unknown situation , for no unknown situation exists. Nor are we trying to reveal any deep secret, for there is no secret to reveal. The tragic fact is that the subject of this article is so well known to the student body, it has become so commonplace, so accepted a routine, that an attempt to reveal anything would be a foolish waste of time. We would be telling you only what you already know. It is with this thought in mind that we can only attempt to view and discuss the problem of cheating obj ectively and openly. Firs t of all , were the problem of cheating on a small enough scale, and sufficiently confined , group pressure would eventually wipe it out. But, it has reached such a point of flagrancy that if groujp pressure were to wipe out anything, it would be honesty, not cheating. Apparently— obviously—this has already happened. There is no honor system, as such, at Bloomsburg. Now, a generalization as blunt as this demands further explanation, so let us consider what an honor system represents. Speaking obj ectively, one might define the ideal honor system as an unwritten, unspoken code of ethics, to tthich every individual within a given group or situation must conform, or face the penalties of group pressure and sentiment. There are honor systems everywhere, even among thieves. We are concerned only with the college honor system. More specifically, we are concerned only with the problem of open and obvious cheating during tests and examinations, and it is apparent and obvious. It is here that the question arises: WHY ? There are many reasons why a person might turn to cheating. We will attempt to relate only the more common cheaters in general can be divided into three major groups: Fir st , there is the person who feels that cheating is an absolute necessity. They would have themelves believe that it represents their only means of survival. They have become so dependent on cheating as a means of false reasurrance that, without it, they would foe lost. Second, there are those unfortunates who feel that "since everyone else cheats," they too must cheat, in order to compete for their grades. It is tragic when persons who could make their grades honestly, f eel that they have to turn to cheating as a means of survival. Perhaps, there is an ironic justification here. Third, there are those who are j ust too lazy to apply themselves. There are few who can honestly admit to themselves not having cheated during an examination. There are very few who can admit that they have not actually witnessed it. Certainly, there is no one who is not f amiliar with at least one method. Among the many ways of cheating in examinations, here are some of the most common: The Copier: Copying is probably the easiest way out, but, of course, the copier runs the risk of choosing incorrect answers as his reference. It is hardly the method of a continuous cheater. The Open Book : This method consists merely of opening a conveniently placed textbook whenever the opportunity presents itself. Although the material is correct, the risk o£ being caugh t is great, espe cially if the instructor happens to be watching. The Pony : This "miniature " outline is certainly the most preferable and widely used of the three mentioned. The well organized, systematically arranged pony is as informative as the textbook.1 It is usually designed to be inconspicuous in size (in order to fit nee tly into the palm of the hand). Unfortunately, this editorial will not be read until most of the final exams have been taken. Perhaps it would have made no difference, anyway. Actually, this is of little consequence since, as we stated before, our purpose is not to arouse. We are not engaged in a crusade. You know whether or not you are guilty. If you can honestly admit to yourself that you are not a guilty party, then your self-satisfaction should be reward enough. If , howev er , you cannot make this admission, if you have ?>een tempted to look a little more carefully at yourself , then this article has achieved its purpose. We conclude with four memorable lines from the pen of Robert Burns, expressing a wish that is universal. . .

E my Park looked very sweet in an avacado-green and navyblue tweed skirt with an avacado belt and blouse to match. W ith her black felt skirt , Jo Graeber chose to wear a soft pi nk scoop-necked j ersey. A very pretty combination, adding black heels with a rose bud on each shoe.

L ight blue and beige sweaters look very nice on John Schaeffer, proving that light shades look as well on light-haired fellows as well as dark . L.ouise LaSorsa surprised everyone and had her long hair cut. The new style looks very sweet on Louise, who is becoming with straight bangs across the front and the sides curled toward her face . D espite wind or rain, Becky Ellis will be in style in her Dacron blouse with many-colered umbrellas scattered over the white background . R ight up there is Ross Bartleson in a beautifu l grey cashmere sweater. E ven knee-socks come in a variety of shades. Argyles seem to appeal to Shirl Wagner, Sue Hoffman and Bert Hendriekson. S tunning is the word to describe Marty Molchon in her grey dress with three-quarter length sleeyes and a very full skirt.

S tripes alway s look fresh , especially on Judy Stevens who's beige and brown skirt of two wide horizontal stripes went especially well with her brown sweater and belt of the same color. T ops among everyday school clot h es is Bobbi R oa dside 's combination of a pink cardigan sweater, straight dark brown skirt and knee-socks to match the shade of pink in her sweater .

Honor Roll of Hits A New York paper printed the following incident which took place in a Las Vegas hotel during a Tony Martin appearance! Impressed with Martin 's act , author James Jones went backstage to congratulate the vocalist. "I' m James Jones ," he said. "I Bloomsburg Writers Series: KATHERIN E LITTLE BAKELESS The Waterburg, Connecticut Sunday Republican commented on Katherine Little Bakeless' newest book entitled In the Big- Time that, "you can't brush the silver-grey dust from the blue jacket of this book. It' s pure star dust. " Star dust, as everybody knows, is the stuff that gets into the mind's eye of nearly all young aspirants for success in the entertainment world. Mrs. Bakeless' In the Biff Time unfolds the vivid star dust stories of fourteen of the biggest "big-time" entertainers, including such famous personages as Fred Astaire, Burl Ives, Hildegarde, and Marian Anderson. Early in her own life Katherine Little Bakeless felt the magic of the star dust for, at six, she was already on her way to a long and talented career as a pianist. Bloomsburg is proud to acclaim that it was here where she was born and began to study piano. She was the daughter of the late President Judge Robert and Mrs. Little, whose Mayflower ancestry traced back through the famous John Alden-Priscilla Mullens marriage. She received her diploma and music certificate from the Bloomsburg State Normal School, where she met her future husband , Colunel John Bakeless, soldier, scholar, and writer. After graduation , she entered Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore where she studied under Immanuel Wad, a pupil of the Viennese teacher Leschetizsky, who had taught Paderewski. In 1920, she married Colonel Bakeless and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she studied under Heinrich Gebhard, at the same time teaching music at Belmont Hill School. Six years later, she studied in New York City under Bruce Simonds, now Dean of the Yale School of Music. Mrs. Bakeless spent several summer in Europe, where she studied under the great teachers, Ber t e Jahn-Beer and Tobias Mathley. During these years, she associated with well-known musicians ana music lovers. Instead of continuing with piano, she felt that she could do more to encourage appreciation of music, so she turned to writing about musicians and other entertainers. Her efforts resulted in the publication of five highly entertaining and informative books. Her first book, published in 1940, was Story-Lives of Great Composers. In this book she included lively biographical sketches of nineteen composers from the modern Stravinsky back to Scarlotti . This, like her succeeding books, was written in an easy conversational style and provides good background material for the music lover. Her other books, The Birth of the Nations, The Battle Hymn of the Republic Story , and Story-Lives of Great American Composers, have become exceedingly popular and are found in most libraries over the United States. In fact, on one of their many trips to various parts of the United Stat es, the talented couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bakeless, made a game of checking libraries in many towns to see which of the two had the more books in each. Mrs. Bakeless usually won in public libraries, but Mr. Bakeless won hands down in university libraries, mainly because of his scholarly articles. Colonel and Mrs. Bakeless now reside on a farm near New Haven, Connecticut, where the talented authoress devotes her time to gardening , writing, music, and the raising of Kerry Blue dogs. Behind Closed Doors by Ken Weir Tomorrow we begin another break from the routine life of college. This holiday won't be meaning post office j obs, and stacks of nicely wrapped gifts, but it will be another chance for the hometowners to judge Bloomsburg by the way we dress, by our new attitud es and the way we cuss and discuss controversial topics with them. The kind of language we use and the table manners we exhibit are all labeled as "th at' s the way they must act at Bloomsburg." All this should be something to seriously consider when we pack our bags to run home for a weekend or one of the larger vacations. Remembering that a college is only as good as its student body would be something to concern us in '55. Some members of College Council weren't t oo h appy abou t the lack of enthusiasm on the part ot the student body concerning the Max Kaminsky Jazz Concert. Could the problem be a lack of good salesmanship on the part of the Social Recs? It seems to me that if some of us spend several semesters in sales classes, we should be able to put across some pretty extensive promotion campaigns—if we really wanted to! We all talk about the things we would like to see happen around here, but we must admit that there's no substitute for hard work!! College Council held its last meeting of '54, with the Yule log ablaze , at the home of Dr. and Mrs. North. It was a nice evening for us for it had many light moments, but underneath the good time we had , there was a serious tone ; for we knew that we were the last Council to be entertained by the Norths—the Doctor was retiring and we were going to miss an old friend. So, good luck, Dean.

Lynda has lost her wonderful "roomie," and the Maroon and Gold has lost a witty columnist. For the present, at least , because of ill health, Corrine Pen tecost has been foced to give up her home at the "Friendly College on the Hill." Corrine will be solely missed on our campus by everyone, but especially by the class of '58 which she has served most industriously for two years—this year as treasurer and her freshman year as vice-president. Her abilities in the field of j ournalism have been displayed most adequately through her capable assistance on the Obiter st aff for t hi s year and t he Maroon and Gold for the past two years. In addition , Corrine has been busy as a member of the Mixed Chorus, the Bloomsburg Players, and the C.G.A. Awards Committee. Last year, as female representative of her class in the annual "Battle of the Clases, " she easily established her reputation for interest in current events. This variety of extra-curricular activities, however, has never interfered with a high academic standing in her field of Elementary Education for she has managed to remain on the much-coveted Dean 's List . One would suppose that with such a variety of activities there would be little or no time remaining to be spent on any other "extras," but not so with Corrine who manages to spend a great deal of time on her very favorite of pastimes—reading. Along this same line of literary interest, it is not unusual to note that writing is a special talent for Corrine. Not only is she an accomplished prose artist, but she writes poetry as well. Back in high school in Honesdale, Pa., the students presented many plays and skits which she had written for them . Music is another particular interest of Corrine 's. She is an avid collector of all types of records and she enjoy s playing the piano or strumming on a "uke." Her newest field of endeavor has been that of knitting argylo socks—tho result of having a roommate who knits. For our versatile CorrJne to leave B.S.T.C. without some note of recognition would be a mistake. The Profile of tho Week is our way of showing the deep appreciation we feel for Corrine. Ma y the future bring good luck and good health. Maroon and Gold Cagers Hit Stride with Successive _ Wins Alter Millersville Loss All-Time Scoring Husky Five Defeats Record for Bloom Bald Eagles Before Fa ns On Home Floor Set by 109 Total The Bloomsburg Huskies made their first appearance at Centennial Gymnasium since the holidays a joyous one by downing the Lock Haven Teachers five , 84 to 59, on last Wednesday evening. The Huskies went ahead early in the fi rst period, and never suffered a serious thriat by the Bald Eagles. The charges of coach Harold Sh elly were out in front 41-23 at half time, and the Eagles never moved closer than 15 points the rest of the game. No less than four of the lads fro m College Hill were in the double figure column . Keith Weiser led the attack with 16 points, followed closely by Len Kozick with 15. Fred Betz, the stalwart Husky guard, added 14 points to the Husky cause, and Charlie (Skip) Skiptun as added 10 more . Wednesday night's win m akes it four victories against one defeat for the 1955 edition of the Huskies. The Bald Eagles, however, finding it tough to get into the win column this year, as Wednesday night's setback was their fourth straight loss this season. Two of the B.S.T.C. wins are STC loop decisions. Bald Eagle forward, Gerald Terrate , was high scorer for both teams with 22 points.

For a real treat In the craze of The charges of Coach Harold Shelly broke an all-time scoring record for Bloomsburg basketball teams by winning over Cheyney Teachers by an almost unbelievable 109-102 tally, at the Cheyney gym. It was the first post-holiday effort for the Huskies, and also their first league victory, as opposed to a lone defeat handed them by the defending champions, Millersville. It was necessary for the Lads from College Hill to have their shooting eyes peeled for a record as they met one of the best Cheyney teams in the history of the Chester County College. No less than six of the Huskies hit the double figure column in pouring in their 109 points. Cheyney was paced by two of the best rebounders in the Teacher loop, Casper Lonesome at 6'5" and Bones Parker at 6'4". Parker hit the nets to the tune of 39 points, the most scored against a Shelly-coached Husky five since Vince Leta. the Lycoming great, turned in 46 points three years ago. The Huskies got more than their share of rebounds, courtesy of Big Bob Evans, the Coal Township Junior, who snared 23 loose balls from the Cheyney boards. Evans also chipped in with 17 points, and at the same time played the f u ll 40 minu te s. High scoring honors for the Huskies went to Captain Freddy Betz, the team's only senior. Betz racked-up 24 big ones and at the same time pulled the "iron man " stunt by going the full forty minutes. The hottest Husky hand of the evening, was that belonging to Keit h Weiser, the Kane sharpshooter. Keith made 22 points for the Husky cause, but was forced to see limited duty because of an upset stomach . In th e fi rst nine minutes of the game, Weiser had taken eight shots and made just eigh t b askets. Big Len Koziak hit the cords for twelve, but it must be noted that Kozick had four fouls charged to him in the first half. With these hanging over him, Kozick was forced to play a much more conservative brand of ball than is his custom. A big surprise for Coach Shelly came when Jim Gustav, a promising Plains frosh, replaced Kozick and hit five buckets for ten shots. This was Gustav's first test under fire in a varsity contest and his play was that of an accomplished veteran . The versatile Mo Morson celebrated in the record-breaking evening by hitting the hoops for 18 points. Morson is now fourth in the Husky scoring derby, behind Betz, Weiser, and Kozick, and has been moving right along considering he missed over a month of basketball practice because of football . popular recordings, be certain to hear all of the following rhythum numbers. "HEARTS OF STONE" by the Fountaine Sisters. "THE ABC BOOGIE" shouted by Bill Haley and his Comets . . . and Mike Pedicin 's "DIM, DIM THE LIGHTS." To those of us who shall be lucky ( ?) enough to return to the campus next semester, may I suggest that you purchase your ticket now for a night of real fun and listening pleasure. The date for this class is February 1 . . . the classroom is Centennial Gymnasium . . . the class period, 8:30 p.m. . . . the professor, Max Kaminsky . . . and the course, a complete curriculum of j azz in concert form. It should offer you a wealth of entertainment as well as education in the j azz field. And, incidentally, this course has been guaranteed not to bore you to Bleep!! Compliments of SHARPLESS Now Servin g Platters HARDWARE and GIFTS J IMI - J AC' S 364 East Street Audience Cheers Husk y Wrestlers With New Spirit Centennial gym saw its first wrestling match since pre-war days as Bloom played host to Millersville Teachers on January 8. The winter sport was received with much enthusiasm by the students and faculty who had many thrills and saw a few spills during the evening, which end ed with the crowd on its feet and a Millersville wrestler on his back. Facing a team with two meets behind them and many years experience in mat circles, the Huskie grapplers showed fine spirit and potentiality in their 22-10 defe at . Handicapped from the start by the illness of their 123-pound representative, they entered the meet trailing 5-0 because of a forfeit in that weight class. In the first match Kenny Lynn couldn't get started against his wiry Lancaster County opponent and lost a close dicision. Ed Romesburg, the Marauder grappler, kept Ly nn's feet tied preventing him from using his speed to advantage . The excitement ^rew as the 137pounders, Bill Troiani of Bloom and Larry Bahn, started tussling. The boys were evenly matched, but Bahn eked out a close decision. Captain Tom Welliver gave the Yohemen their first points as he displayed amazing speed, power, and most important, know-how, in pinning his opponent, George O'Conner . It took "Red" five minutes and twenty-two seconds to do the trick and give the home fans something to cheer about. Millersville increased their lead to 16-5 as Bill Fisher pinned Bloom's Abenmoah in two minutes and thirty-two seconds. Another freshman , Bob Asby, gave a good account of himself against Bob Brown, 1951 S.T.C. 167-pound class champion . Bob lost a tough 4-3 verdict. In the semi-windup Don "Porky " Wise nearly pinned Warren Goff of the visitors in the opening minut es, but the slippery tutor escaped and went on to win the contest on points. It was big Harry Hughes who gave the fans something to talk about for the remainder of the evening. As soon as the whistle blew "the Willi amsport Wonder " went about the task of pinning his fellow giant in the amazing time of one minute and four seconds. When he grabbed Don Weaver of Millersville the crowd rose to its f eet , cheering for the pin, whi ch Harry so modestly and obligingly gave them . The freshmen-studded team did a fine job and you can be sure that the Bloomsburg Matmen will be a constant threat to all they meet in the coming meets. Huskies Drop Fir st Game of Season in Pre -Xmas Contest The previously unbeaten charges of Coach Harold Shelly took their first defeat of the current season as they dropped their initial league tilt to the perennial power of the teacher conference, the Millersville Marauders, by an 80-67 count. Coach Shelly felt, however, that the 13-point gap didn 't tell the whole story, because the Huskies held as high as a 9-point advantage in the second half . But the inability of the locals to hit from the field in the last 10 minutes made the difference as the Huskies posted only fouls in the final 5 minutes. Although the Huskies took a 19-18 lead after the first 10 minutes of play, the half-time score read Millersville 40, Bloomsburg 37. But the locals came back in the first 10 minutes of the second half to play their best ball of the campaign. With 11 minutes of the second half remaining, the Lads from College Hill had a 9-point 'lead . 4 minutes later, the score was knotted at 67-all. The final 5 minutes saw the Marauders gamer 13 points by virtue of their 6'5" tap-in artist , Dick Parker, who is able to go well above the rim of the basket. Parker netted 22 points for his team's cause, Bloom captain Freddy Betz outscored the Millersville all-stater, Billy Werkhiser, by 3 points. Betz had his best evening as a Huskie player In scoring 26 points. Werkhiser 's 23 points were matched by the "Dallas Dandy," Len Kozick. SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT by BILL BITNER Arnie Garinger, Great Supporter ~ Of Bloom Teams . . . Just as six senior football heroes will be lost to graduation , such will be the fate of one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Husky athletics in recent years, Arnie Garinger. Arnie , who has managed Bloom grid aggregations for the past four years, h ails f rom Harvey 's Lake where he attended Lake Township High School. While at Lake Township, Arnie starred in basketball and baseball for four y ears and was considered by many sports fans of that area to be one of the Raiders ' all-time greats. The Raiders were down in one baseball game by a 31-0 count, when Arnie switched from his familiar shortstop position to handle the mound chores for the vacation-resort nine . In the next two fr ames, he set the opposition down with only two runs, which was just another example of his versatility in sports. Final score, 32-0 Arnie continued his athletic prowess at the Friendly College by captaining the undefeated Saints in the intramural basketball championship last winter and will follow suit this year with the pre-season league favorites . Arnie also played third base for the "Big Boys?" who were runnersup in the softball loop last spring. Aside from athletics, Arnie h as found time to serve the college community in many other capacities, some of the more important being President of the Senior Class, Columnist for the Maroon & Gold for two years, a member of the Varsity Club and has been M.C. for various fun-loving functions during his college career . When Arnie was asked the question who was the best Husky football player he has seen perform on the Hill, he said he would rather pick 11 best, one f or each position : Ends—Russ Verhousky '53 and Bob Cumens '55; Tackles —Russ Looker '52 and Harry Hughes '57; Guards—Ardell Zeigenfuse '53 and Tom Persing '55; Center—Tom Shukis '52; BacksDave Linkehorst, Barney Osevala, Tom Specht and "Daddy " Lang— the backfield of the championship '51 team. Arnie went on to explain that he felt that Tom Higgins was the best manager he has ever seen on the Hill , and this includes such names as Eddie Cunfer and Jack Koch, along with many others . As far as the greatest thrill he has experienced, Arnie went along with many of the other seniors and picked the game in which Bloom beat West Chester in 1951 by a 16-7 count. After graduation , Arnie would like to teach and get married , that is providing Uncle Sam does not have any other ideas on the subj ect. WRESTLING WELL RECEIVED . . . Unfortunately, for this desk, we missed the opening of the newly inaugurated sport on the winter athletic itinerary because of the basketball game at Cheyney the same night. When we came home from that recordbreaking trip (Huskies set an alltime scoring mark by scoring 109 points), we were swamped by enthusiastic "wrestling" fans, niany of whom saw their first match, more than willing to relate the happenings of the previous evening at Centennial Gyrn. Explanations and excuses for the team's inability to post a win over the strong Millersville grapplers were as plentiful as the points Had been the night before at Cheyney. This change of heart from the usually satirical remarks, which we ar e accustomed to when a Bloom team goes down*, was a pleasant change. The last time we can recall such enthusiasm was this past fall when the Huskies blasted Wilkes and Kings on successive weekends, and then only because the team played near-perfect ball . But this was different—we didn't win, and still there were many who were willing to pick up the banner and make such remarks as, "I believe we'd take them if we'd wrestle them a"gain." "You should have seen Harry pin that guy..." "For a green team they really ..." "Red Welliver really knows his wrestling, " and many , many others . For this tremendous success, and the great showing the boys m ade, we have only to thank the time-tested House of Yohe-Hoeh, in their final masterpiece as a team. The man who breathed life into, and promoted wrestling to being a maj or sport was, of course , John Hoch. To John Hoch, the Athletic Director, the team is indebted for the promotion of a near-capacity house and a huge step in the direction of a representative team with a representative collegi at e sched u le. To Jack Yohe, t he coach , the team came a long way. Such performers as Bob As-* by, who lost a tough match to a State champ in the opening meet, are typical examples of the development of boys who did little or no wrestling in high school . Coach Jack Yohe took over the reins on December 1, with twelve wrestlers. The first practice after the Millersville Meet saw the wouldbe wrestlers still coming through the doors of the first time, and the ranks more than doubled. But what is more important , the doors aren't closed now, and probably never will be as long as Jack Yohe is at the helm. So anyone who feels they can beat a person who is wrestling in their weight class, remember the mat is always out. It may not say welcome on it , but the thought is there.

What's Your Opinion? Max Kaminsky and his "Dixieland All-Stars" are presenting a jazz concert February 1st—-an opportunity for the students to hear actual Dixieland jazz other than from just a record . What do you think of it ? Are you for it? Nancy Klotz: "For those who enjoy j azz, it's a good idea. If we have a good turn-out , It might start things happenings at B.S.T.C. George Derk : "There is no harm in trying a new social event such as this. Perhaps if we were to take an attitude such as this more often, we could eventually initiate a social program that the student body has been craving." Judy Stephen : "A good idea—we need something more than a record dance or a formal at B.S.T.C. We need a variety of entertainment. Many people don't understand j azz, and by going to this concert, it may help them to understand it much better. Jazz is really a big thing !" Mary Hoffecker : "Outside of the fact that it requires work and a lot of organization , I'm all for it . At this moment, the students are not too responsive. It is not a money—making idea—ju st a chance for the kids to go to a concert and hear Dixieland j azz, Let's face it!, Jazz is pretty well-oriented, and is here to stay." mmmmmmmm^mmmmmmmmmmwmmmm Uttd tt-CuM&its ? ? ? ? ? J ewelry Store 130 E. Main'St. 1955! When we were freshmen, way back when, the Class of 1955 seemed so far away, but, unbelievable as it is, in about one more day, we'll be finished with classes at B.S.T.C. for good. That's a terrible way to start a column. I feel bad now. The quintet went apartment-hunting yesterday. What a riot! It paid off though—a five-room job with all conveniences and a very nice landlady. Naturally, because of the background, Punch will cook. Bob is the business man, Pope the washer woman, and Derk the cleanup committee. My Job ? I keep things dirty enough so George dosen't feel that he's not doing his part. So, if Corinne doesn't hurry back, every M & G may carry a column of "The Fraternity Five Off Campus". No, Oggy, th a t isn't a sequel to "The Hardy Boys" Series. Talking about Miss C-Notes. She's all sick with malnutrition. (No relation to Mai Smith.) I don 't know if that's grounds for suing the state, but it might be worth a try. Wait until they tear the lobby up too; then the chow line will form on long porch and down 2nd Street. We'll have the only college in the world where the girls go to dinner in snowsuits. . Oh my, here's a big boo-boo! American Government class, Dr. Herre at the helm. Question : Which was the last of the original 13 colonies to ratify the constitution ? Answer, by one fellow named Derk in loud voice: "Arizona. " Only the length of the U.S., and over a hundred years off . My roommate! Since I began writing this a few days ago, I've learned that Corinne won't be back to school at all second semester. Certainly we'll miss her and her column . She's one of the more intelligent people I've met in the last 21 years. After hearing what Bill Bitner's column is about this week, I should like to say a few .thousand words in his hehalf . There's no doubt that B. Bitner has the finest column of any type anywhere in the world. His material is chosen with the utmost care and finesse . His choice of words, fabulous! I feel that it is only fair to the reading public to say that even though it would mean skipping Under Currents, read Sports Scuttlebutt this issue. Never has a more persuasive report been given than the report in Science class by Bill Ellinger on High Fidelity. He gave "Hi-Fi" such a buildup that Holley Smith left the class at 2:00^p.m. and by 2:30 had purchased one of said sets. R.C.A. is looking for peoplelike you, Bill. I've seen people late for classes already, but Angus is the only guy I've seen stumble* in Vz hour late. Maybe he fell asleep in the bathtub. Again ? ? ? I didn 't see the wrestling matches last week, but everyone seemed to enj oy them lots. Capt . Welliver took right up where he left off in high school, and Harry Hughes didn 't take too much time to dispose of their big fellow. When we're at f u ll str ength , we'll do o.k. for our first season. Maybe we're not a physical education school, but there certainly is a lot of enthusiasm for sports. Look at the intramural league— 16 teams with at least 7 fellows on a team and that's well over 100 players in Centennial on Monday nights. Not bad for business students Charlie Pope has been sick for two days and hasn't received one single get-well card and he's been feeling quite low. So the next time you see Charles on the street, mention how nice it is to see him up and around and ask him how h e's feeling. He'll appreciate it! Student teachers must not be having any fun this year. I never hear any of the little funnies the children come off with like one with Mutt Marr 's little student amazed him. Why did the calf kick her mother in the belly ? To hear the Big Ma Moo. Any little stories will be appreciated, but I suppose soon I'D. be hearing some first-hand and they won't seem too humorous then. Table service is coming along nicely. In fact, nearly everyone gets a seat sometimes. I hope you didn't forget the Honor Assembly this morning. Fifteen folks will be leaving for good, and I thi n k we owe th em to go and watch them graduate . Some of you may never see another, graduate. Well , it' s time for the basketball game so I'll stop for this time. You won't be seeing me around the campus next semester (stop smiling, Yohe) but I'll try to send up a few words to let you know how a bachelor 's life goes and how student teaching is coming along. It's been great to be associated with people like those who inhabit i B.S.T.C. , Til th en , U.C. P.S.
