Walter Hutz , William Bitner , Jerr y Wood. Phil Mosier , James Gustave !
Elmer Robinson , Geor ge Chaump, and Robert Boyle.
One typical day of a Phi Sig Pledgee entails picking up the laun dry

UP ON COLLEGE HILL . . .

Colleges grow as time passes, but Bloomsburg State Teachers College
is growing by leaps and bounds. Graduates of only a few years ago
may hard ly recognize their Alma Mater with its new entrance , renovated buildings, offices and lounges. B.S.T.C. is not only changing
in its outward appearance, but its interior has been growing in another manner. By ulterior, we are referring to the student body. This
growth is evidenced by the fact that the September, 1955, enrollm ent
was increased by 300 students, making it the largest in the history of
the college. The whole story is not related—nearl y 500 appli ca n ts were
turned away due to lack of facilities. Many prospective students are
on a waiting list for the January and September , 1956, sessions.
I his college and its field of preparation are in great demand by
many high school students. If B.S.T.C. is going to meet the demands
of these students wishing to enter the teaching profession , it must increase its capacities. Projects being undertaken are the erection of a
new dining room, the renovation oi the present dining room for library
facilities and dormitory space. A new classroom building and an
auditorium are also necessary addition s to the campus. These will be
sufficient onl y for a certain length of time, but as the enrollment increases, other structures will*have to be provided to meet those needs.
Another pressure on our classroom space is the fact that graduate
work will soon be offered here for teachers. The opening of this new
field is another evidence of greater advance in store for our college.
Alumni who have visited their Alma Mater each year have seen it
develop in many respects. From all predictions we, too, wh en a l umn i,
will be amazed at the strides our college will have taken when we
com e back f or Homecoming.

FADS 'n FASHIONS Honor Rol l of Hits

by Margie

by SANDY

Today many oh's and ah's will
be heard as our welcome visitors
saunter through the hall to the recently renovated lounge which we,
the student body, proudly claim as
our own
Good news for Seniors! No .
longer will they be "out of it"
since they will be informed of
campus activities through a posted
student calendar. All organization
and group announcements will be
compiled in a list and copies will
be posted on the bulletin boards
which are located in the dormitories and day rooms. Make certain all your announcements are
in the Dean of Instruction 's Office
by 3:30 Friday.
bince the renovations, a definite
need has been felt for bulletin
boards. Elmer Robinson , Chairm a n
of the Bulletin Board Committee
related to College Council the
possibility of using the wall space
between the Maroon and Gold
Office and the entrance to the
lounge as a suitable location.
The Television Committee is still
studying the prospects of a new
T.V. set for the lounge. We'll hear
more about that at the next College Council meeting.

This question seems to be raised
very frequently among the girls
at Bloomsburg. It is not limited
only to Bermuda shorts, however,
but also includes slacks and Bermuda skins.
Why is there such a discussion
about the suitability of Bermudas
at Bloomsburg ? Almost every college allows its women to wear
some type of sport clothing outside of the dorm. Naturally, there
are some limitations as to when
and where that type of clothes
should be worn but by this time,
we certainly should be old enough
to distinguish between the proper
and improper time i'or sports attire.
Almost anyone would agree that
slacks or Bermudas are very comfortable for football games, etc.
Some people , though, r aise the
q uestion as to their neatness.
Needless to say, we are past the
blue j eans and sloppy shirt stage
and can now look very neat in
sport clothes. What could be more
trim than Bermuda shorts with
the blazers which are so popular
now ? Slacks with blouses are also
very trim and can look j ust as
neat , if not neater than many of
the sloppy sweaters and skirts
which are worn .
in our parents aay, racoon coats
were classed as being "real collegiate." Likewise in our day, the
trend is toward. Bermuda shorts.
I might go so far as to say that
in the past few years, Bermudas
have become a tradition rather
than a fad at many colleges.
These opinions are practically
unanimous among the dormitory
women. To satisfy my own curiosity, I interviewed quite a few girls
with different hobbies, tastes, and
ideas. All but two of them were
definitely for the idea of Bermudas or slacks for leisure time
about the campus . They all agreed
that we should govern ourselves
accordingly as to when and where
they should be worn. But the most
important thing is that the maj ority of the girls want to wear Bermudas outside the dorm, as well
as inside.
l nis whole proDiem seems to
boil down to the f act that since
we are to be future teachers, we
must act and dress accordingly.
Bu t aren 't teachers human ? Don 't
they ever want to relax in comfortable , but proper, clothes ? It
seems hard to comprehend that
teachers are something set apart
from normal people. We are certainly past the era when teachers
were thought of as prim, prissy
individuals in black, high-necked
dresses.
Why must Bloomsburg be different from the other colleges,
State Teachers Colleges included ?
We can certainly maintain the
good name of BSTC, but be comfort able while doing it!
So, WHY NOT BERMU DA
SHORTS ?

P eop le We Know

One of the active leaders on our
campus who deserves commendation is Carol Nearing, a member
of the Junior class who commutes
from Bloomsburg.
Carol never seems to have an
opportunity to become bored because of her varied interests. Her
extra curricular activities include
Knox Fellowship, Cu stom 's Committee, C.G.A, representative , Secretary of "B" Club, Editor of the
"Pilot", and President of the Day
Women 's Association .
somenow t^aroi aj so manages to
teach a Sunday School class of
fifth and sixth grade girls at the
Presbyterian Church and sings in
the church choir . In the past two
years she has been the assistant
Girl Scout Troop Leader in
Bloomsburg, and served as a
counselor at a Girl Scout Camp in
Brule, Pennsylvania, and in Eatonbrook , New York. With Carol's
experience with children, plu s her
four sisters and a brother to giude
her , she will undoubtedly win the
hearts of her students when she
begins her teaching career. Carol
particularly hopes to teach the
physically handicapped or the inter m ediate level in a sl um area
becau se it would be "interesting,
something different, and continuously challenging."
Anotner popular personality on
campus is Bill .Bitner, a secondary
senior maj oring in Social Studies
and English . Hailing from Harrisburg, Bill was graduated from
William Penn High School and
served in the Marine Corps before
coming to B.S.T.C.
Bill' s wide-spread interests are
proven by his varied extra-curricular activities. This year he is
President of the Senior Class,
State Vice President and National
Treasurer of Future Teachers of
America—three outstanding offices
which he holds most capably. Bill
is also chairman of this year's
Assembly Committee.
Sports are Burs hobby, he Has
put them to use very ably in his
position as football , basketball, and
baseball statistician for the past
three years . He is Sports Editor
of the Maroon and Gold, and has
served as Director of Public Relations for the Invitational Basketball Tournament lor two years.
At present, Bill is student
teaching in Bloomsburg High
School, He plans to go to graduate
school before beginning his career
as a college teacher. We wish him
success in the future and feel sure
"he will be as outstanding a teacher
as he is a student . The best to one
of the best—Bill Bitner!

Grandma 's Daze
At Old B.S.T.C.

Ever wonder what Bloomsburg
State Teachers College was like
when grandmother or auntie came
here ? If she were a studen t during
the 1880's or 1890's. she had an entirely different social life from today 's coeds.
To begin with, she was to be
present and prompt to all meals
unless special permission had been
obtained beforehand. Of course,
as it is today, table etiquette was
practiced.
With school beginning at 8:30
a.m., she was required to be present at the morning devotional exercises. All classes had to be at( Continued on page 4)

Well , hi , music lovers.' Once
again it's time to find out what's
new around here—on wax—that
is. There certainly have been quite
a few lately. As a matter oi" fact ,
it' s getting pretty hard to keep up
with them all. Quite a few of these
newer recordings have been done
by vocal group?. For example,
there are "Moments To Remember" by the Four Lads, "Mambo
Is the Word" by the DeMarco Sisters and "Only You" by the Hilltoppers. Another disc that de- |
serves an A is the old standard j
"Seems Like Old Times," done up |
in a brand new way by the Four i
Freshmen. Incidentally , if you
have the chance to listen to that
one, take special note to the great :
job done on the trombone by a
young man named Bob Flannagan.
Perry Como has recently put
out two fine recordings. One is
called "Fool" and the other which ;
seems to be a little better is "Tina I
I
Marie."
For you Spanish students here |
a t BSTC, Dean Martin has com e I
out with a new one called "Me J
Gustan Todo." For those of you ;
who j ust aren't in the know, trans- \
lated it means "I Like 'Em All".
According to this week's Hit
Parade on TV, we find that "The
Yellow Rose of Texas" is still holding down the number one spot . Of I
course we realize that it was prob- \
ably the Texans who put it there 1
and are keeping it there, but since \
there is no such thing as the l
"Pink Laurel of Pennsy ", I guess j
it'll have to do
A few more pop-tunes that real- :
ly can't be overlooked are "Is This
the End of the Line" b^ Georgia j
Gibbs and "Love and Marriage" i
by Dinah Shore. Also "Autumn \
Leaves" is a very appropriate re- |
cording, arranged and played \
beautifully by Roger Williams and |
his orchestra . Incidentally, Bobbie \
Creamer has j ust added it to her j
ever growing record collection. j
For you who like the classics,!
RCA has j ust put out a new al- '
bum called "Forever the Waltz" \
by the Vienna Bohemian Orches- )

tra.

I

Another Jong play recording in^
the classical field that has just I
made its claim to fame, is a Col- 1
umbia recording entitled "The ]
Birth of a Performance." It is I
actually Mozart's "Linx" Sym- i
phony, number 36 in C majo r and j
is played by the Columbia Sym- !
phony Orchestra under the direct- \
;
ion of Bruno Walter.
Turning now to music from south j
of the border, Xavier Cugat leads
his b and in a brand new session
featuring the latest dance beat.
You guessed it, it' s the Cha-Cha,
and the album is, of course, the
"Cha-Cha-Cha."
Probably the most irresistabie
j azz album to come out in years
is one recently put out by Columbia, "I Like Jazz." In it you 'll fi n d
a dozen different and exciting j az2
styles . There are contributions by
Wally Rose and his rag-time piano
Bessie Smith , singing the blues;
Louie Armstrong's Hot Five playing "Jazz Lips" in the New Or
leans manner; Bix Beiderbeck's

1955 HUSKY FOOTBALL SQUAD

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT
by BILL BITNER

'BJJ
^111111
Li *£ jSSHI

INJURIES TAKE EARLY TOLL FOR YOHEMEN . . . Tape, bandages, analgesic, diathermic, et al, are the order of the training day for
the badly bruised and even broken football Huskies. For only having
played three of the regularly scheduled campaign, the Locals have
paid a high price physically for their two win one loss slate. Strangely
enough most of the inj uries have been sustained in practice sessions
pointing to the suggestion that perhaps the practice that is supposed to
make perfect sometimes is more costly than the actual testing of the
varsity schedule.
Just about two years ago Bernie Mont, the Huskies' great punter,
suffered a broken shoulder in a practice session after the first game of
the season, with Wilkes, that sidelined him for all practical purposes for
the remainder of the '53 campaign . This was Mont's senior year at
Bloomsburg, the year before he was second among small college punters
and he was looking forward to another banner when old man inj ury
darkened the threshold.
Last year in the first game of the season, Eddie Connolley became
victimized by this plague that has been hanging over the football lads
from the Hill when he broke his ankle which of course sidelined him
for the rest of the season . This too was his senior year.
This year, well the old plague struck early and hard. In the last practice session before the opening of school, Coach Yohe said that the team
would practice till ten minutes of five and then go in for their showers.
They had been scrimmaging with each side getting eight chances to
run the ball and then turning the ball over to the other team and
letting them run eight plays and so on. Just as the manager reminded
Coach Yohe that it was time, the team with the ball had run its eight
plays. Mr. Yohe then said, "we will run one more play, then we'll call it
quits for the night." It was that one more play that put Chuck Gasper
on the shelf at least for the '55 season, and from all indications it ended
his collegiate grid career.
The local experts had predicted big things for the scale-model halfback
from over Bellefonte way after seeing him perform in his frosh year.
Coach Yohe had said on many occasions that pound for pound there
wasn't a harder running back in small college football. He was right.
The 140 pound frame of the personable j unior had punched holes in lines
with a reckless abandon that pointed to a great future on the Mt.
Olympus.
In Chuck's sopohomore year he was hampered by a leg injury, that
was sustained in a practice session, which forced him to see very limited
duty. But after another successful baseball season last spring, Chuck's
knee looked to be better than ever and he was ready to go come September. Of the fifty candidates that reported on the 6th of September
there wasn't a one that wanted to make the first eleven as much as
did Chuck Casper. But fate took roll and decided that it wasn't to be in
the books, so Chuck Casper watches the Huskies from sidelines with
his foot in a cast in an effort to mend his broken ankle.
Chuck came to Bloomsbu rg from Bellefonte High School with a good
scholastic athletic record. Chuck played under Bill Luther for two
years of football and one of baseball. Chuck also captained the Red
Raider grid crew in his senior year.
Last spring Chuck held down the left field slot for Doc Wagner's
State Teachers College Champs , with the secon d highest batting average
on the squad. 'Doc claims that the Bellefonte belter has the quickest reflexes of any hitter in the conference, Chuck had one of the longest
homeruns of the season at Bucknell when he paved the way for his
mates' 6-3 victory on the Bisons' home field.
This inj ury business didn't stop with Chuck Casper, though, the Yoheman have had Bo Ralney sidelined with a shoulder inj ury, Ken Wood
with a broken finger, Harv Boughner with a knee and leg problem, and
Frank Kren, the latest, with a broken vertebrae which he Incurred last
week in practice, We have been advised that Kren will also be out for
the season as he is in a cast from below his waist to the top of his solar
plexls. So as you can see, coac h es' problems aren't always In the playing
of the gomes.

Huskies Score
Two Touchdowns
To Defeat Wilkes

The Bloomsburg Huskies fought
through mud and rain Saturday
night to outplay and outscore the
Colonels of Wilkes College 12-0.
The victory was the second in
three contests for the Huskies so
f ar this year. A heavy downpour
throughout the day ruined the
Kingston-Forty-Fort Kiwanis Club
chances for a capacity crowd;
however, an estimated 500 "diehard" football fans attended the
contest .
Starting out slowly in the early
stages of the game, Bloomsburg
started to roll near the end of the
first quarter. After an array of
punt returns, Wilkes took the ball
on their own 12 yard line . On the
first play from scrimmage, the
Colonels fumbled and the Huskies
recovered. Joe Malczyk, a Ju nior
from Newport Township, carried
the ball to the two yard line as
the quarter ended. In t h e fi r st play
of the second half , Bob Rainey, a
Junior from Johnstown, carried
the ball over the goal for the first
Husky score. His attempt for the
extra point was wide and the score
read 6-0.

Huskies Lose To
The Red Dragons

The Bloomsburg Huskies were
checked from the unbeaten ranks
of collegiate grid standings on
Saturday, October 8, at Cortland
State Teachers College's home
field by a 13-6 tally. It was a dis- ,
appointing afternoon for the visiting Huskies as they were unable
to get their highly publicized
powerhouse backfield into high
gear against the underdog Red
Dragons.
The nucleus of the Bloomsburg
offensive was supplied by Joe Malczyk , who was the acting Husky
captain for the afternoon. Malczyk
carried the ball 17 times for 77
yards, an average of 4.5 yards per
carry The Huskies were able to
net only 163 yards for their afternoon 's efforts; they posted a minus 81 yards from scrimmage, as
the result of fumbles, bad passes
from center, and faulty blocking.
Cortland was able to muster 156
yards from rushing against a loss
of only 28 yards in the same department.
Bloom had three scoring opportunities in the opening session,
courtesy of Cortland fumbles,
but three times the Red Dragons
were able to stall the Locals inside their own 25-yard-line. Midway through the second stanza,
Cortland took over on their own
17 and marched 83 yards on five
running plays and one pass to
score the first touchdown of the
afternoon . The last 28 yards of
the drive were made by Johnny
Radzavicz on an off-tackle run
which saw at least five Huskies
lay hands on him but failing to
bring him to the turf. Pete Palleschi split the cross bars and Cortland had put the Huskies behind
for the first time in the '55 campaign .
In the third quarter the College
Hill Boys came to life with a good
drive that put the ball on the six
yard line. The punch for the drive
was supplied by Malczyk and Bo
Ralney. From the six Mike Lashendock scored on an option play
that caught the Red Dragons off
balance. "Bo" Rainey 's try for the
extra point was wide.
Cortland added another T.D. In
the final session. In the fading
minutes of the game with the
Bloom eleven behind 7-6, Lashendock decided to gamble a fourth
down pass from deep In his own
territory but failed to connect, and
the New York tutors took over on
the Bloom 17. From this point Bob
DeRonda hit Clarence Powell for
what looked like an interception
and Powell caught the deflected
football In the end zone for the
thirteenth and final point of the
aft ernoon ,

Skiptunas Returns
For Final Season
As Husky Center

Charles (Skip ) Skiptunas, last
year's second string all STC conference center, is a Husky mainstay again this season. The sixfoot three inch center hails from
Kingston, Pennsylvania, where he
made his mark among the all time
greats of the Wyoming Valley
area. Skip won no less than six
varsity monograms at Kingston
High—three years football, one
year wrestling, and two years
track.

Upon arrival at the Friendly
College, Skip wasted no time in
gathering four more varsity letters. This time all were earned at
football; however, he has three
seasons of basketball and one year
of track service here at Bloomsburg.
when asked whom he considered his favorite teammate, he immediately replied, "Mike Lashendock". Skip said that when the
going is rough , you need a quarterback that can keep your confidence on a winning level. In his
estimation , Mike is the man that
can handle this j ob best .
ah ainieies usually nave trouble
recalling a moment in their sports
careers that holds precedence as
their outstanding momen in sports.
Skip narrowe d It down to two
events rather quickly, but he could
not decide which thrilled him most
so we will have to put them both
down . The first came in one of the
most outstanding games the Huskies ever played—th e New Haven
game in 1953 where Skip recovered a fumble that set up the winning touchdown for the lads .from
College Hill. The second time*was

Can't understand why someone doesn't buy Dean Blair
a watch . He comes up to the second floor at the weirdest
hours of the night and bellows, "Do you guys know what time it is?"
We tried very hard to get news from Waller Hall Men's Dorm but
with little luck. Nothing interesting since they nailed the windows down
in the girls' pressing rooms, eh ?
Wonder if Bobbie Creamer, Rosie Coulter, and Mary Grace have gotten over the effects of that hard cider party held in the smoker a while
back??
We took in the Wilkes game and saw the boys win that Anthracite
Football for old Bloom. While waiting for the second half we took a
quick swim around the field. Believe us, the water was deep enough !
Hope to see all of you young lovers (amateurs included ) at the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night!
