In ves tments and Di viden ds

The importance of this period before the end of the semester cannot
be underestimated. It should be a time of inventory. Just as large department stores must calculate their gains and losses, we should also
"take stock" of our academic and social records.
According to the college, scholastic achievement is based purely upon
grades—if your records show a point average of less than 1.0, a written
record is sent out notifying you of your placement on academic probation. These black and white written records mean a great deal, of course,
and they <io show a positive correlation between the amount of studying
done by the student and the letter grades received, but they don't show
everything. For example, the records haven't shown how a first semester
Freshman learned to get along with new classmates or how long a
second semester Freshman practiced to perfect (Reynard The Fox," or
how a Sophomore struggled to learn the chromatic syllables, or how
long a Junior worked to earn enough money for his class ring, or how
late a Senior stayed awake thinking about his next day of student
teaching.
Too many of us are anxious to make a head long crash into a new
semester without having first looked into the proverbialmirror to survey
the past eighteen weeks and the effect they 've had on our lives. Can we
all, in complete honesty, say we've done our best in all the courses we've
taken ? Dare we all say that we've put into B.S.T.C. enough tune and
interest to warrant the titles of students ? In this respect college is like
a bank. Sacrifices are the investments—sacrifices of not only our time
and ourselves but also sacrifices that our parents are willing to make for
us. The joys that come when you get that first A or when you are elected
to an office of an organization are the dividends that you receive These
j oys are not tangible and therefore must be experienced by the individual himself.
jj i air or inis rusn or seeing new scneduies, arranging working hours
and hunting for new books, take out a few minutes to total up your
"investments" and "dividends " and see if they balance. Then when you
return home for that well-earned semester vacation report your findings
to your "t ellers" (your parents) and give them an added "bonus" by
saying "Thank you."

What 's Your Opini on?
New additions on campus always seem to attract a good deal of
attention, our snack bar being no exception. It adds color and activity
to our lounge and is "just the thing" for those quick snacks and chats
between classes and after dinner. Some of the comments of our fellow
students concerning the snack bar are:
Carol Yost: "I think the snack bar is definitely an attribute to the college. It constitutes the central meeting place of the students and
eliminates the necessity and bother of having to go downtown for
snacks."
Robert Hess: "It provides the perfect spot for students to lounge and
chat over a "nickel" cup of coffee. It is without a doubt one of the
most attractive spots on campus and does much to impress most favorably prospective students and visitors. Three cheers for the Husky
Snack Bar!
Chick DeFebo: "It is my contention that the Snack Bar is a great asset
to the appearance and spirit of the college, I believe everyone of the
students appreciate this new convenience and will do all they can to
help keep it clean."
Betta Hoifner : "Best added attraction that B.S.T.C. has seen! This is
something that the Bloomsburg students have been looking forward
to for years—now it is a reality. I think it's a wonderful feature for
keeping students on the campus."
Bill Pohutsky: "I think it's not only a wonderful addition to the lounge
but also to the college. It will undoubtedly save a great deal of inconvenience from going out in inclemen t weather. I personally like
being able to have a late breakfast."
Shirley Seller: "It's the greatest thing since the Business Department!!
It has really improved the lounge and has done wonders for the social
life here at the college. Just one more added attraction that makes
Bloomsburg both bigger and better."
Harry Weist: "Hurrah—Once again the days of the nickle cup of coffee
are back! It is an oases upon Uollege Hill ! A home away from home!
A place where particular people congregate."
Joanne Hester: "I have nothing but praise for the opening of the college
snack bar, and feel that It's the biggest improvement at B.S.T C in
four years. It provides us with a social center on campus . . . something we were definitely lacking in comparison wi th other colleges.
Its modern design and appearance show the rapid progress Bloomsburg as a whole is making."
Each and every student. May we individually exert ourselves in maintaining a beautiful lounge. "Keep it clean with energy!!"

Members of the Iota Chapter of
Sigma Alpha Eta, College speech
and hearing fraternity, were favored with interesting talks by Miss
Jennie Blatchford and Miss Joan
Simmons, at their January meeting. Miss Blatchford and Miss
Simmons are speech and hearing
therapists for the Adams county
public schools.
Miss Blatchford explained the
methods of organization on a
country level, and the difficulties

_

which were encountered in setting
up a workable program in a new
area. The responsibility and importance of good public relations
between the school program and
community were also discussed.
A new speech and hearing program was recently developed in
Gettysburg, county seat, through
the successful initiative of Dr.
Maietti, Miss Blatchford, and Miss
Simmons. This new program was
begun in September, 1955, and has
shown remarkable progress and
acceptance within the county.
Following the program, a social
hour was held In the Day Women's

room.

FADS n FASHIONS THE MALE SCENE
by SANDY

Now is the time for all good coeds to review the fashion highligh ts for 1955 and get .ready for a
new chic look that spells SPRING,
1956 .
The y ear of 1955 has set some
definite trends as far as fashion
goes. As I predicted in-September,
the V-necked sweaters claimed a
second season. If you notice, the
girls have quite nonchalantly taken them from the boys. Crew neck
sweaters entered the male fashion
world . Borrowing again from the
boys , we have enjoyed the versatility of the man-tailored shirts. And
overblouses have at last given us
permission to wear our shirts out.
Jumpers and blazers have lived
up to their expectation , too. Bermuda shorts are still going strong
in spite of the differences in opinion concerning their suitability.
Coats have enj oyed many refreshing new looks in 1955. They
appeared in the three newest concepts—the slim look, the modified
full look, and the new version of
the full coat with its fullness controlled by detachable low-slung
belt or tabs on both sides.
But now cottons are the coming
thing and they will be so becoming, too . We will see them in such
new colors as Watermelon , Raj ah
Red, and Charcoal Yellow. I predict that last year 's outstanding
color , Periwinkle Blue, will ta ke a
back seat to some of these vibrant
new colors .
unce again tnis year, separates
that you can team up together are
in style . Each coed should be on
the lookout for go-togethers that
show you know the score when it
comes to mixing and matching.
Watch especially for the wonder
fabrics. They are a miracle for colj ege wardrobes since they need no
ironing.
To tide you over till the buds
start blossoming, fashion experts
suggest an "anywhere " dress on
the order of a tailored sheath or a
coatdress. So nice and practical,
too , for dinner, da t e, etc.
But whether it is June or Jantfary, make sure you have a high
fashion I.Q. and that is attributed
to good organization. Remember,
in a well-dressed coeds wardrobe,
everything—but not anything- —
goes.

Last time we started on men's outerwear. Mind if we continue ? You!
know it wasn't too long ago that men had little choice: we either bundle

style, warmth, and practicality in winter coats.
These coats reach somewhere between the knees and hips. For the '
most part, they fasten with zippers and the toggles and snap-fasteners;
that open easily, hold securely. Many of the suburban coats (35 to 36;
inches in length) have four buttons and fly fronts. Also, practically all of;
them are water-repellent and windproof, and for rough weather some are
built to handle hoods. An influence of the Eisenhower j acket is waist

Fabrics of brushed wool fleece and tweeds have found wide wide)
acceptance. Orion, Dacron, nylon, gabardine, and poplin also play a
significant role in outerwear. An interesting note about leathers, either
smooth finish or suede, is their surge to colors.
Inside the j acket: nylon fleece is very popular because it insulates and:
is washable. Lustrous satin of man-made fibers is used in bright shadeseither to harmonize or contrast with the color of the coat. Wool shows

HONOR ROLL of HITS

....

by

annette

Here we are once again, back after the holidays and ready to go.:
Speaking of the holidays, we'd like to extend a verbal bouquet to Vic
Michael, who was great enough to place his fine hi-fi set in the Waller
Hall Lobby for public enj oyment before we went home for the Christmas
vacation. Incidentally, Vic built the set himself and we're sure you'll
agree that the Christmas music provided really gave a holiday atmosphere to the entire college.
It was also due to this that many of our students were first introduced;
to classical music on our campus. We understand that much of this was:
provided by the fine record collection of Ed Siseoe, gome of the favorites!
played at this time were Tchaikovsky's ever popular Nutcracker Suite,]
the L'Arlesienne Suites No's 1and 2 by Bizet, the famous composer oi]
Carmen, and the pulsating beat of Bolero, which was written by Ravel ]
and has been said to drive men out of their minds by merely listening ?
|
to it.
We understand that quite a few of our students received record players
or records this year for Christmas which proves that music is becoming;
more and more popular as a pastime here at B.S.T.C.
For you record collectors, we'd like to mention a few words about the
most fabulous collection of records for sale that Yours Truly has ever
seen It is at Jim Fosters Music Store in Danville. Every type of record
can be found there from Rusty Draper to Jascha Heifitz. Truthfully, the :
variety and hugeness of this collection is amazing.
And for those of you who have been contemplating the beginning of a
classical collection , but who have hesitated because of the great expense involved; it is now a known fact that you can get a great variety
by the masters on the Westminister Label at a relatively low price. It
is an English recording company whose records are to be discontinued.
Therefore they are being sold at a great saving to the public. Among
these are some of the works of the greatest composers of all times, such
as Brahms, Beethoven, Strauss, Ravel and Mozart.
You can also remember that your oest oargains in nne music are
those recordings made in England where, contrary to the general American opinion, Classical music prevails oyer the popular. Look for these
famous names at your dealers when looking for the best English records:,
London, Westminister and especially Angel.
Turning now to the popular field , we see where Universal International;
is putting out a Cinemascope production called "The Nat King Cole,
Story." It is a film biography of the best selling Capitol artist and it is

VETERAN'S PIPELINE ... by richard mease
"Hey Joe, you should see the swell house I just bought. The old G.I.
Home Loan sure came in handy." "Oh yeah, that's what you think. I
know a guy who really was taken by a gimmick called a mortgage
discount."
The practice of mortgage "discounts" is one which has given the
Veterans Administration a lot of headache, and has cost many veterans,
who buy G.I. homes, hundreds of dollars. It has so seriously affected the
Veterans Administration's direct loan program that investigations are
underway by two separate Congressional commitees.
"Just what is this mortgage discount business?" This is a question
many veterans have asked too late, but one with which we should all be
familiar.
The effect of the present tight money market, in respect to home
mortgages, has been to press lenders into the practice of "discounting."
Under this system, the lender refuses to take over a mortgage unless
the builder "discounts" the loan.
"Discounts" are now reported averaging about three to five per cent
and some cases are running as high as nine per cent.
In the following example of how a "discount" works, it can easily be
seen that an unwary G.I. can lose hundreds of dollars when purchasing
his home.
A builder constructing a $15,000 home wants cash for his house as
soon as a veteran buys it—so he seeks out a lender. The lender offers
to pay off in cash, if the builder will discount the home. His reason for
this is that money is hard to get so the builder must take some sort of
loss df he wonts to sell immediately,
me lender may oner a tnree percent cuscount. By this he means he is
willing to pay 97tf for every dollar the builder wanted for his house. A
three percent discount on a $15,000 home would amount to $450. In
order to sell for cash the builder must accept $14,550 for the house. The
veteran, regardless of the byplay between the builder and lender, is still
contracted to pay for a $15,000 home. In order to absorb the loss, the
builder must construct a property he would normally sell at 814,500—
including (his profit—but charge the veteran $15,000.
VA's appraisal system can do very little about this practice because
there is very little different between a house that sells at $14,550 and
one selling for $15,000.
The larger "the discount, the larger the amount the builder must absorb In the cost of construction which means a home of less value to the
veteran.
In an effort to stamp out this practice, the Veterans Administration
refused to guarantee loans that were sold at a discount. This, however,
failed due to the pressure brought to bear by lending groups. As a result
the VA has accepted a two percent discount as fair.
It is very likely that you veterans will encounter the practiceof mortgage discounts when attempting to purchase a home through the VA's
direct home loan program. Remember, you can save yourself many
anxious moments and possibly hundreds of dollars by shopping around
and avoiding the practice of mortgage "discounting" whenever possible.
