800 Enjoy Speakers At the 9th Annual B.S.T-C. Sales Rallv Some 800 persons, most of them engaged in one iorm or another of merchandising, were literally "sold on selling" last Thursday night, as Bloomsburg State Teachers College staged its ninth and most sales rally. successful annual Featured ¦'speakers were Eugene P. Mapel, vice president of Barrington Associates, who gave the six fundamentals for master salesmanship, and Jim Watson, president of James Watson Associates, who delighted the audience in a theatrical presentation of do's and don'ts in retail selling. The auditorium was filled to capacity for the event which marked one of the highlights of the college's observance of its business education department's silver anniversary. Dr. Harvey Andruss, president of th e college, and founder of the department, extended welcome to the record assemblage. Dr. Thomas B. Martin, director of the business department, credited Charles Henrie, member of the faculty, with the success of the rally. Harold Crossman, Mt. Carmel textile executive, introduced the speakers. Prior to the rally, a dinner was held in the college dining hall for guests who included members of the Berwick , Ben ton , Bloomsburg, and Danville Kiwanis Clubs. Watson, for almost an hour and a half , squirmed, mimicked, pantomimed, shouted and whispered through the roles of customer and clerk, declared that every salesman should have some "ham " in him, and that the only difference between the legitimate theatre and the "retail theater" i s th at in the former "You pay before the show" while in the latter, if the show's no good, "no pay." Mapel, with the illustration or a flannel board, cited attributes of the good salesman: preparedness, presentation of product to show the benefits to the buyer, stimulation of desire, tell the facts, eliminate retarding factors that influence the buyer, and "ring up sales." In his presentation, the key words spelled out the word "Master" in keeping with his message.

Amid the picturesque Pocono Mountains, the religious significance of prayer was brought out to more than 400 students attending the convention from eleven different states. Charlotte Rummage, Jeanne Griffiths, Carol Shupp, June Lukac, Jack Bushey, and Dick Rigler were the L.S.A. delegates from Bloomsburg to the conference . The lecture agenda was filled by three capable men and women. Dr. Ralph Lowe, Pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity, in Buffalo, New York, delivered two main addresses on the theme of the conference, "Prayer." His lectures were both profound and well received. Following these addresses, a Bible study was held which centered around the Lord's Prayer. Two main questions were in the minds of many of the students; these were concerned with the two passages, "Thy Kingdom Come," and "Lead Us Not Into Temptation." Dr. * Kristor Stendahl, of Harvard Divinity School, was the Bible study leader. Dr. Ruth Wick filled the pulpit Saturday evening to address the group on her concept of prayer in the community concerning "Our Responsibility in the World." Sunday morning Pastor Reinberger, of Gettysburg Seminary, delivered an address in which he emphasized corporat e prayer. Norman Hjelm, President of the L.S.A., brought the conference greetings from the national association, and new officers of the North Atlantic Region were elected at the Regional Conference meetings held Saturday. _^ The students, representing over 75 colleges in the east, spent an inspiring and enjoy able time at the Poconos resort, with ice skating, horseback riding, dancing, swimming, television, shuffleboard and hiking to the Buck Hill Falls on the agenda. ¦ MMMM ^^^^ VMMM* I ^V ' T- *M Freshman Dance Provides Court For Lovely Coed "Whil e St rolling in the Park One Night" some 330 men and women enj oyed themselves at the Freshmen Hop. Gerry Kehler's orchestra was one of the best we have heard here on the campus, and the freshmen must be congratulated for the fine way in which they interpreted "An Evening in Central Park." At tne entrance to tne gymnasium was a trellis covered with hand-made flowers. Benches lined the sides of the gym. and small tables and chairs were set up on the far end. Japanese lanterns hung above the tables on which one flower was placed. Between the benches stood street lamps— almost authentic (except for the light). The center of the floor was a veritable fantasy. It was typical of Central Park—a little pond, the rose-covered trellis, and the ever present playground swing. To top off a perfect evening, pink lemonade and sugar cookies were served. Intermission at the "Hop" was given special treatment by Ed Braynock and his cast of experts. Bob Asby, president of the freshmen class, was master of ceremonies for the program. Mary Grace and Allen Nuss sang a duet, "Let's Take an Old-Fashioned Walk," and Deanna Morgan rendered "Serenade" from "The Student Prince." The Collegians, our campus quintet , sang "Wedding Bells." Danny Deitrich , the new singing sensation of the freshman class, received rounds of applause for his popular selections. Excitement mounted When tne time came for the crowning of the new Co-ed of the Year, Tom Higgins announced the,, candidates one by one as they rounded the center of the gym with their escorts. A thunder of applause broke out as Tom nervously opened the sealed envelope which contained the name of Bobbi Roadside as the Coed of 1955. The attractive sophomore was escorted to her unusual swing throne by her proud escort of the evening, Bob Boyle. Lovely Joan Christie gave up her reign as Coed of the Year for 1954 as she placed the muchcoveted crown upon the heaar of the happy new queen . / JJlaroon anb #olb PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY AND FOB THE STUDENTS OF BLOOMSBURQ STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Editor-in-chief—Joanne Hester Business Manager—George Doric Senior Editorial Board—Charlotte Rummage.

Mary Jane Trefsger Wan ted: LEADERSHIP Peruse the want ads in any local or national newspaper and you're sure to discover that certain qualities are sought after again and again. "Ready recognition given for ability and initiative" . . . "Immediate opening for ambitious person" . . . "Splendid opportunity for person willing to work" . . . These words appear there incessantly. But analyze these ads for a moment. 'Do advertisers want merely salesmen, draftsmen, or engineers? Or do they primarily want specialists of character, intelligence, initiative and ambition ? Invariably such want ad qualification? reflect not only the wants and needs at the local employment level, but they also point to an underlying and universal desideratum. No one can dispute the fact that the world now cries more urgently than ever for men and women of high calibre. The world regards such people as potential leaders. Leaders!Such a simple word for such an important group of individuals. Every generation sees its own set of leaders rise. Past leaders of proved worth live on long in the memories of the world. Contemporary leaders try to pattern themselves afterthose capable figures. Situations change, but the characteristics of true leadership remain constant. Leaders must be able to feel the pulse of the times, face unpleasant situations head on, and realize the desires of their followers. They must be able to evaluate facts and to bring them into proper perspective. If they fail in these, they can hold no claim to leadership. College life affords an excellent experience for aspirant leaders. In a teachers college the idea of leadership is particularly, prominent. The teacher by profession is a leader; certainly h? the classroom of his school and almost certainly in the homes of pupils exposed to his teaching influence and guidance* Thus it would seemingly follow that every socially and academically approved student would seek the opportunityof gaining such experience through the medium of the highest honor B.S.T.C. can bestow upon a student . . . that of a Community Government Association office. Why is it then that, as of our publication date, there are exactly two persons running for election to each of the highest offices on campus? Does this mean that there are only ten students in our entire student body of 817 who possess the initiative, the ambition, and the interest necessary for Leadership? God forbid! One of the recognized advantages of a state teachers college is a Community Government which, functions freely of, by, and tor the students. Furthermore, it is clearly obvious that Bloomsburg has an advanced governmental system in that it is the only Pennsylvania state teachers college in which both the students and faculty vote on the same College Council. The importance of the leadership of such a government cannot be overestimated . These officers for whom we shall vote in less than a month are the go-betweens among the students, faculty, and administration . . . they represent the college to the public and to the educational world in particular . . . they must take all criticisms, suggestions, and attempt to satisfy all groups concerned without showing partiality. These officers are concerned first and foremost with the weJare of the student body . . . they inform College Council of the wishes and needs of that student body . . . and they do all within their realm of power to grant these desires. In order to serve their fellow students these leaders must have the character and ability mentioned in the want ads of today's newspapers . . . they must have the ambition and the interest so desired by employers today. Fortunately, our past leaders of B.S.T.C. have been persons of this high calibre of which we speak. But perhaps there was a potential C.G.A. president hidden beneath lack of student interest and apathy on his own part . . . or maybe a future C.G.A. secretary just never bothered to run for office because of indifference or lack of enthusiasm. We shall never know of these buried leaders of past years . . . but for the hidden potentiality of the future we can do something. aomeiimes an mat is neeaea is a suoue runt or a meaningiui suggestion. But once the suggestion is taken to heart, students must rise up and back their chosen candidate. They must circulate a petition, advertise their candidate with match covers, chewing gum, colorful posters, and speeches, conduct a button-holing campaign, and prod their followers from their respective hindsides to the polls 'come Election Day. However, the decided apathy of B.S.T.C. students is an established fact. Two years ago a total of 540 persons managed to vote, while last year 445 barely made it to the polls. Even in an election as popular and recent as that for the Coed-of-the-Year there was a shocking lack of student participation . . . a grand total of 280 votes were cast from a possible 817. Small wonder it is that the nation is so undecided about giving the "youngsters" a vote. When such a small percentage of the student community takes advantage of its opportunity to register a voice in important college elections, what could be expected of noncollege people of this same age group? . . . the answer is quite obvious. It Is our opinion that without a free and courageous press man cannot offer intelligent criticism or poll an intelligen t vote. But what good does a free press do if the citizens do not get out and exercise their right to . run their own government? such an election as the one coming up In March affords Bloomsburg students an excellent opportunity for cultivating the voting habit, as well as a voice in their government. For novices to the voting privilege, it provides good experience before entering the public world of politics. But after the nominations and elections are over . . . after the crepe paper, signs, matches, and chewing gum are carefully packed away for another year . . . and after the annual sligh t revival of interest and enthusiasm has subsided, the students must support their representatives. They have to make their wishes and needs known to their chosen officers . For, as Donald McNeils so aptly expressed it in the 1953 election, "It would take an exceedingly wise man to comply with your wishes without being aware of them . . . efficient operation without cooperation is Impossible." One last point . . . those students who perform much of the "talking it up" duties before C.G.A. election s and do not even vote in the final showdown or support their elected candidate are also getting some good training . . . training to be politicians, that Is . . . all talk no results. This is not the type or leadership we want at Bloomsburg. The quality of leaders that are desperately needed are those who will act as a two-way street between students and administration, who will be the voice of the students, and who will stick to their guns . . . for they ore sad individuals inded who back down on basic issues if they are deeply convinced they ore right, but afraid of public criticism. If you'd like to do both yourself and us a favor, j ust run the following ads In your brain's newspaper . . . and then try to write a letter of application: .

Bloomsburg Scores Win Over Lycoming On Loser 's Court SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT by BILL BITNER » ¦ BEST WIN-LOSS RECORD POSTED BY '54-55 HUSKY COURTMEN . . . When the Shellymen established a Centennial Gym scoring record last Saturday night against Kutztown, they wrapped up the best season in the post-war basketball history of the college, percentage wise. Thi s 108-point Bloomsburg victory over the Golden Avalanche made the overall season record stand at 13 wins against four losses. Even two years ago, when they copped the loop crown, their record only read eleven wins and seven losses. On the surface this may seem rather unj ust because of the differences in the records of the two teams. Th e hit ch in this being the championship year, of the eleven wins, ten were conference games and of the seven losses only two were conference deficits. This season the Lads from the Hill suffered three of their four losses to Teacher rivals, and eight of their 13 triumphs counted toward the league standbier. Millersville had no trouble in taking the tutor race this year, and th ey didn't have any trouble last year either, for that matter, because they haven't lost to another conference competitor. Of the four we dropped this year, certainly the two to Millersville were the only ones we could justify, and in both of these contests we held the half-time upper hand. The other two black marks in the loss column were a result of Kings College at Kingston, where again we held a half-time lead of nine points. When we played Kings here at Bloomsburg in the season's opener, we beat the Valley five by 18 points. And, of course, the real heartbreaker was the 72-65 loss suffered by the Shellymen at Lock Haven. This contest was no different than any of the other three losss in thai; we held the balance of power at half but seemed to run out of gas in the final twenty minutes. The reason we call this loss such a shame is that, two weeks before, the Bald Eagles looked as if they didn't belong on the same floor with the Huskies when Coach Shelly had trouble in holding the score down to a 27-pointvictory. This column is in no way intended to offer any excuses for the team standing, their losses, or any other shortcomings of the recent campaign, because we feel that the team doesn't need anyone to make excuses for them; their records speak for themselves. Only one other team, as far as we can find , posted a better record for the college; and that was the 1930-31 team that had a banner 16 wins, one loss season. But until we can find more out about the calibre of opposition that was presented during that schedule, Scuttlebutt will have to give the "Best Team We Ever Saw On The Hill Award" to the 1954-55 edition of the Huskies coached by Mr. Harold Shelly.

Playing most of the second half and part of the first half without the services of Fred Betz, as the Husky scoring ace was charged with four fouls in the early minutes of the game and the fifth personal after only two minutes of the second half had gone by, the Shellymen didn't come to life until the final minutes of the game. High point-getter for the Centennial courtmen was Bob Evans, considered by many local experts to be the most improved player over a one-year period seen on College Hill in quite a while. Bob, posted eight field goals and five fouls for a twenty-one point evening. Also posting double figures was Mo Morson. The Radnor junior was accurate in six of his field goal tries and four charity tosses for a total of sixteen points. Keith Weiser kicked in eleven points for the Bloomsburg cause via the route of five shots from the playing court and a single from the free throw line, making a grand total of eleven points on the Husky side of the ledger. The frosh sensation Jimmy Gustave continued his sharp-shooting ways by adding five more field goals to his season's record. The Plains' pretty boy continued to bring pressure upon the firststringers by making his five field goals good with only eight attempts, and this was accomplished in 17 minutes of playing time.

College Huskies brought the curtain down on the 1954-55 basketball season last Saturday night by defeating the Golden Avalanche of Kutztown by a record 108-75 score. The 108 points by the charges of Coach Harold Shelly represented the highest number of points scored in the Centennial Gym. The victory also marked the highest win-loss percentage ever posted by a Bloomsburg basketball team, their record being 13 wins against tour losses. Pacing the College Hill Lads in the scoring department was Bob Evans, the HusKy pivot ace from Coal Township. Bob registered nine goals from the field out of 13 shots and then hit an amazing seven tor nine Jtrom the free toss line, for a total of 25 points. Bob also led the Huskies in the rebounding from the enemy boards by graboing 13 Kutztown loose snots. Playing his final game for the Huskies was Fred Betz, the Allentown set-shot artist, who captained the SheUymen during the current campaign. Fred went out with a big Dang when he hit nine times out of twenty-three shots from the field, giving him eighteen points betore hanging up his Maroon and Gold spangles. Jimmy Gustave gave the Husky faithtul a good preview of what ? they can expect irom him for the next three years. The Plains j umpshot penecuonist hit the hoops nine times out of eighteen and ior good measure put tour out of five in from the free throw circle, giving him 22 points towards the evening's record-breaking score. Keith Wesier continued his double figure output by scoring m six of his twelve snots from the playing court and five out of five irom the charity line for a 17 point evening.

Bloomsbur g Defeats West Chester Five In Closing Minutes The charges of Coach Harold Shelly continued their bid for the most winning season in the basketball history of the college by defeating the West Chester State Teachers at West Chester, on Wednesday, March 3, by a score of 65-60. mis victory was ine nrst a Bloomsburg athletic team was able to register against the Chester County phys-ed tutors in the last two years. This win also gave the Huskies a seven won three loss in the Teachers Conference standings, and an over all record of 12 wins and 4 defeats. It wasn t easy going for the Huskies in their first appearance on the new West Chester field house floor, as they were down by nine points at half time. Almost immediately following the opening of the second half , the College Hill Courtmen suffered another blow as Fred Betz was ej ected from the contest on personals. During tne last ten minutes oi play the Huskies caught fire, and perhaps the main burner in the igniting was Keith Weiser. For his evening's efforts Keith added 23 points to the Husky scoring charts and at the same time played his usual stalwart defensive game. Chipping in with 15 points for the cause was Len Kozick, the soph flash from Dallas. Another 11 points were registered via Bob Evans. Bob hit five times from the field and added another from the bonus line. Harrison Morson was the big gun for the Huskies on the defensive boards , pulling 23 rebounds from the Golden Rams . Mo also added eight points to the Bloomsburg totals . Fred Betz fell shor t of his usual scoring *.pun ch as he was able to hit for only six points . This was due largely to the number of fouls that were charged to him. Elmer Robinson completed the scoring for the Lads from the Hill by getting two points .

Any resemblance between us and Georgie Gobel is purely intentional—'cause he's funny. In fact, he's almost as funny as Garinger. Gobel and Garinger—what a team! You all know that Bobbi was crowned Coed, but did you know that she made phone calls in the middle of the night (2:00 a.m. to be exact), broke her fast, wore her bracelet to bed, was too excited to sleep, so she talked 'til 4:00 a.m., and had us so shook that we couldn't sleep either. Congrats to our Coed and newly elected captain of the cheerleaders! Even college teachers don't know what to expect when they ask questions. The otner day in music class Mrs. Evans asked Harry Weist how old he was when he started school. In a very serious tone Harry answered, "I was five. I should've been six, but I was sick a year." Spot announcement: Lock your door and turn olf the light, especially if it's 5:30 and you aren't going to dinner. Rumor has it that Miss Mettler thinks the infirmary is oniy crowded because people haven't been going to the dining room for their vitamins. She may even get drastic and write home to mommy!!!? Half way to Indiana, the wrestling team almost had to turn back because Bob Arbogast forgot his anemic pills. Allen Nuss saved the day by just happening to have a few extras. Ask him; he'll deny it and give all the credit to Jim Nicholas, Who's another skinny guy on campus who simply wows the girls? "Lo and Behold" it's Tony Curtis McDougal Aiello. He gets our oscar * (bug ) for doing a great job. That kiss was real gone. The $64 question is, "Will Tony accept any offers from Hollywood?" Since we have Holywood on campus, we might as well have the U.N. too. When these one-language girls get post scripts in French, they run to Marilyn Friedman for a quick translation. Sne may be shy but she knows her oui oui's and her Je vous aime's. You can't hardly find that there no more! What is this, National Book Week or something? After walking to the library via Catawissa, guess what we found—oooks, tables, magazines, Miss Keefer, and one available seat. We had to take turns sitting on each other laps. (Try writing sometime when you're on the bottom.; When Mr. Hoch mentioned buying the Flagship, maybe he had a library in mind. (Entertainment while you work!) We overheard Arnie saying that he isn't going to earn his livJdhood by teaching after graduation. He's got bigger and better ideas. To make it easier on his iddy biddy buddies, U.C. is going to sell canoe paddles to them when they're up the proverbial creeK without any means of locomotion. If the school doesn't buy the Flagship for a library, maybe he can use it for storing canoe paddles. From beverages to books to paddles all in, one day. (What imaginations!!!) The most popular course on campus this semester seems to be Music Aids. Mr. Miller's little darlings are now learning to play the uke. Judging by the noise in the dorm, someone found the lost chord . Here's to losing it again!! Did you see John Koch's shining face as he came into assembly ten minutes late, climbed over five people, sat down, didn't recognize the face next to him, climbed back over said five people, looked around, tried another row, climbed over five more people, and finally found his own seat. The moral of the story is: If you come into assembly late, count row on the way in. There has been a new addition to the Yohe family. Gary has finally persuaded his parents that he needs a little companion. Daddy Yohe solved the problem by buying him a dog named Rusty. Rusty is now keeping Roongo company in back of the laundry. Before we bring this little gem (?) to and, we'd like to say, "Thanks," to Arnie, Butch, and all our iddy biddy buddies who gave us their opinions on our first column. Believe us, we were shook!
