FRIDAY 13: SORCERER'S BALL Bud Sheridan Emcees All College Talent Show In Carver Auditorium Int roducing Bud—"He may not have Godfrey's money, but he's got his red hair!"—Sheridan, as Master of Ceremonies for the All-College Talent Show held in Assembly, March 27, 1956. To begin the show, a sextet composed of John Seaman, Al Nuss, Bob Biever , Dotty Horning, Carol Nearing, and Nancy Pearce put their heads together, as well as their voices to produce fast moving harmony to "Do You Know Where God Lives?"

Dr* Paul Wagner Completes Study Of Freshmen Dr . E. Paul Wagner, Professor of Psychology, has recently completed a two-year study of Bloomsburg students entitled "The SocioEconomic Background of 1952 BSTC Freshmen Compared with 1949 BSTC Freshmen and Thirteen Other Teachers Colleges' 1949 Freshmen". The purposes of this study are (1) to survey home environment and parental background—those factors beyond the control of student s, (2) to show the cultural, educational , and social characteristics of B.S.T.C. students—factors which are within the control of students and which stem frosn their environment , (3) to take the data of socio-economic background of 1952 freshmen and make possible comparisons with findings of other studies. Also, to point out the progress, changes, and trends indicated. The findings of the study are exhaustive and detailed. Copies will be placed in the near future in the College library for anyone interested, but for your immediate information we will include some of the more interesting facts about the 1952 Bloomsburg freshman. The male population had an edge on the female (58% to 42%), but all were between the ages of seventeen and twenty-eight with the median age 18.7 years. Most of them were born in Pennsylvania, and all were natural citizens of the United States, with German, Engli sh , Scotch, and Polish heading the list of parental nationalities. Thirteen per cent of their fathers graduated from college out of the 21% that attended , and the median income of parents in 1952 was $4380. Most fresnmen came rrom communities having a population of 5,000 to 30,000. A study of the types of high school curriculums attended reveals the academic curriculum far in the lead. High school subj ects most liked were social science and English, while those least enj oyed were math and natural science. Types of work which the students engaged in previous to coming to college included a wide and diversified number , but those relating to the teaching profession included clerical, playground, and Sunday School work. One of the main reasons for choosing teaching as a career was the desire to work with children , while nearness to home and low tuition rates helped to make Bloomsburg the desired college. Students obtained the money for their educational purposes from parents, personal savings, parttime jobs, the G.I. Bill, and, last and least, scholarships.

Everyone is glad to see Bertie Knouse around the Day Room once more. Congratulations on your speedy recovery, Bertie! POETRY CLUB The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Poetry Club was called to order by the vice-president, Mae Romig. The treasurer's report was given, and all members were asked to pay dues as soon as possible. Members were also urged to consider tentative plans for the last meeting, May 10, which will be in the form of either a party or an outing. During the regular program, under the direction of James Brunn, records of well known poems were played, enj oyed and discussed. In the discussion, consideration was given to the value of the poems as both entertainment and works of art. The effectiveness of the poems was alao discussed. Election of new officers for next semester will be held at the next regular meeting, April 12. DAY WOMEN'S NEWS During the April 5, 1956 meeting of the Day Women's Official Board, several girls were nominated as candidates for next year's offices of President and Vice-President.

Guest speaker for the evening was Mr. Harry Brooks, former Bloomsburg student, now completing graduate work at Penn State University. Mr. Brooks' topic, "Graduate work in various phases of speech", was very interesting. He pointed out that there are 122 schools to train people in Speech Correction —five of which are in Penna.

The program for the evening consisted of the initiation of four new members: Kay Kerl, Barbara Brunner , Margaret Wilkinson and Nancy Homsher. A social hour in the social rooms of Science Hall followed. Alpha Psi Omega had cooperated with the Dramatic Club in presenting their three act public play, "Guest in the House" presented April 10. The VA has recently disclosed that the college campus is attracting one out of every two Korean veterans training under the Korean GI Bill. This 50-50 proportion marks a different trend from that established by the World War II GI Bill, under which less than one-third of all veteran-trainees attended college. By t h e end of 1955, veterans who had taken Korean GI college training numbered two-thirds of a million, or 51 percent of the total of 1,300,000 veterans who have received all types of Korean GI Bill training. On the other hand, college-trained World War II veterans totaled more than 2,000,000—a much lower proportionof the 7,800,000 who took all types of World War II GI training. The VA also disclosed that the average Korean veteran probably will receive as much training as the average veteran of World War II, despite the fact that the Korean veterans cannot build up as much entitlement as their fellow-veterans of World War II were permitted by law to accumulate. Based on experience to date, the VA said Korean veterans are expected to use about two-thirds of their average available entitlement of 31 months—which would mean about 20 months. World War II veterans average 40 months of GI entitlement, and used half of it—also 20 months. The VA survey revealed a growing tendency for newly discharged Korean veterans to begin GI training shortly after their return to civilian life, without wasting much time. In 1953, nearly 12 percent of the new Korean veterans started their training during the year of their discharge. In 1954, the proportion rose to 15 percent, and in 1955 it exceeded 16 percent. Those who enroll in colleges and universities and those taking j ob training act the fastest, starting within six months after donning civilian clothes. Those enrolling in schools below the college level wait an average of nine months before they begin. This is an important point when we realize that the Korean GI Bill deadline for starting is three years from the date of discharge. Those now entering the speech field are getting in on the groun d floor and can be of great service to society. Mr. Brooks urged that graduate work be taken when at all possible. A few of the fields in which one can do work at the Penn State Clinic are aphasia, cleft palate, and stuttering. Mr , Brooks stated that there are two types of degrees which one may acquire, a Master of Education and a Master of Science. The Master of Science degree requires the writing of a thesis on an original subj ect , or one that has been written but is open to question. The masters degree requires 30 credit hours, & •¥• *k T HONOR ROLL of HITS .... annette The Male Scene ¦ I Mil " ¦ — »^— ¦ ¦ —^— ¦ 1 ¦ ^— ^— - "¦ I — ' ' | Track Team SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT H| Shaping Up ' HhH | For Abril 23 ZZZ by BILL BITNER aHIH M.

To commemorate its twenty-fifth anniversary, the Museum ot Modern Art has taken over three-hundred and fifty of its works of art and reproduced them in the book, Masters of Modern Art, edited by Alfred H. Barr, Jr. The pictures are primarily to give pleasure, but each painting, drawing, or sculpture is accompanied by a commentary on the work which explains what the work is about. This book can be found in the Reference section of the library. Many of the work of Anton Chekhov, although he is generally considered one of the world's greatest story tellers, have remained untranslated. The Unk n o w n. Chekhov presents Mr. Chekhov in a new light; as a journalist and writer of non-fiction. The sketches contained in this book show Chekhov's remarkable descriptive powers, and are also an important record of Old Russia. Contained also in this book is the short story, "The Peasants", considered as one of Chekhov's greatest which is made available for the first time in its entirety. The President of the United States by E. B. Fincher was written for young people of high school age to be used in conj unction with their civics and social studies courses. As future teachers of these young people we can also find much here that we may have known and forgotten. Mr. Fincher first explains who may be President, then goes on to describe the selection of a presidential candidate and presidential elections. He also includes chapters on the Presidential office and a description of the official family. All these books are new to our library. These, along with the hundreds of others, are in the library for you, the students of B. S.T.C. In order to be admitted to the pre-Easter Hat Dance, the students found it necessary to be modeling what the theme suggested, or a reasonable facsimile. Even the snack bar "crew" and the chaperones obliged , deserving the round of applause they received as they entered the lounge with their creations. As the maj ority of the students danced and enjoyed the odd, curious, and strange hats created by one another, the Starlighters, with Bloomsburg's Chick DeFebo, played on whether it be a polka, bunny hop, fast or slow number. Several awards were presented by Miss Zinn and Mrs. Beeman after they, the judges, assisted by Kaki Crew, Jack Bushey, and Dick Connelly, made a difficult deicsion as to who should be the recipients.
