Bloomsburg Enrollment Record Set School Spirit Theme Dur ing Formal Customs Qreetlnqs: A hearty greeting is extended to all returning students who, I am sure, join me in welcoming the incoming Freshmen. During the summer our campus and buildings have undergone some renovations, and ground was broken for two new buildings, all of which will in time enable us to provide more comfortable facilities for the present enrollment. In the meantime, your patient cooperation will be appreciated by all members of our college community as well as by As Freshmen enter the campus of Bloomsburg for the first time, th ey are introduced to the spirit and tradition of the College on the Hill. Formal customs pave the way for these new students to become better acquainted with our college and gives them a chance to become a part of Bloomsburg. Formal customs began on Monday and will continue until next Friday. Monday, the freshmen appeared on campus as hobos, with black faces, u nr u ly hair , and clashing clothes. Over their shoulders they carried a laundry bag containing books, a brush, and their sacrifices, which they presented to Leo and Leona on Monday evening. The men wore unmatched socks and shoes, with one trouser leg rolled to the knee, while the women appeared with unmatched shoes, one sock, one stocking, blouses worn out of their skirts, and no ribbons, pins, or combs in their hair. Both men and women wore patches on their clothiner to eive that "real" hobo effect. Tuesday was known as Civil Defense Day. Freshmen wore antennas on their dinks and carried a waste can containing a standard dictionary and three other books. Upon hearing a siren or whistle they removed the books from the waste can and assumed a squatting position with the waste can placed over their heads until an all-clear sign al w as given . Throughout the day freshmen were allowed to speak only when spoken to by an upper classman, and recited the "time check" when they were asked. Square meal day was observed and Tribunal night took place in Centennial Gym at 7:30 in the evening. Other than wearing dinks and name signs, customs were put off until next Wednesday due to more important happenings taking place on campus. However, formal customs will resume Wednesday, Septfim hpr 24. ^^^ ^ ^ ^^g. ^c^ -^t^ ^ ^ President.

On Wednesday all freshmen will participate in Kiddies Day. The men, or should we say boys, wil wear white shirts with a twelve inch bow tie and suspenders. Their pants will be rolled to the knees, while their girl friends will wear knee length skirts, eigh t pigtails in their hair, and positively no makeup.

Tribunal night will be in effect once again and following this there will be a dance in Husky Lounge from nine to eleven. Thursday will be known as Indian Day. On this day all of the braves and squaws will wear an Indian blanket over their shoulders and feathers in their dinks. Faces will be painted and war dances performed at the request of an upper classman. Moccassins or bedroom slippers, without socks, will be worn, and clothes will not be visible under the blanket. At 7:30 that night, a pow-wow will be held at Navy Hall parking lot and the Frosh will snake dance over the entire campus while singing school songs. Violators will be reprimanded by making extemporaneous speeches and by leading other freshmen in cheers nnr? onnca Major Dance To Be Next Friday The firs t major semi-formal dance of the year, the All-College Reception, will be held Friday, September 26, in Centennial Gymnasium. A fall theme will set the stage for the music of Lee Vincent and his orchestra. Ddncing will be from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. For the freshman, thi s occ asion will provide a formal introduction to the President of the College, the faculty, and the President of the College Council. For the upperclassmen, the All-CollegeReception provides an opportunity to renew old friendships and acquire new ones. All members of the Freshman class are required to attend and upperclassmen are encouraged to be present. Bob Leiss, Social and Recreational Committee Chairman, and Marlene Staude and Trudy Wilcox, cochairmen of the reception are completing plans for this all-college affair. Groundwork Begins On New Structures In connection with the state's new education improvement plan, ground-work has begun on two new buildings at Bloomsburg State Teachers College. A new men's dormitory was started on July 14 of this year. Later, on August 4, ground was broken tor a new classroom building between Centennial Gymnasium and Benj amin Franklin Training School. S. H. Evert is general contractor for both buildings. Electrical contractor is H. B. Foley. The new dormitory heating facilities will be under contract by Cropf and Bennette; plumbing will be under the supervision of John Miles. Heat and plumbing for the new classroom building will be handled by Miles and Corrigan respectively. The ground noor or the new dormitory will contain an apartment for the Dean of Men, administration rooms, a laundry room, a lounge, and a recreation room. The dormitory will house 200 men students in 100 bedrooms. Extra rooms will be available for study. Special features of the dormitory will be a patio, and lavatories which will be enclosed within the corridors affording more convenience and quieter operation. The bedrooms will have two single beds, a bureau, study table, two lounge chairs, and a built-in closet. The classroom building will have thirteen classrooms plus offices. The firs t floor will be chiefly geography classrooms, with class laboratories for chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, and basic biology and physical science. The second floor will be for business education classes. The buildings are expected to be in use September of 1960. This year Bloomsburg's enrollment figures have reached 1378, the greatest number in the history of the college. A freshman class of 446 is largely responsible for the increase over last year's enrollment of 1180. Forty-seven persons have transferred from j unior colleges and other teachers colleges and sixteen former students are returning after completing military service. Twelve new faculty members have been added to take care of the increased enrollment. Student teaching areas have also been expanded. Secondary student teachers will be assigned to Milton High School; while Montoursville High School, South Williamsport High School, and Lewisburg High School have been opened to student teachers m the business department. Dean Hoch reports that there is an increased number of twelve o'clock classes scheduled, along with seven o'clock laboratory courses in biology and physical sciences. Consideration is also being given to the scheduling of Saturday morning classes next semester. A new idea will be tested in the English department this semester. Those freshmen who attained superior rating in the American Council of Education English Test will be taught in separate sections classified according to curriculum. Expected enrollment figures of 1500 in 1959 and 1§00 in 1960 reflect the accommodations now being made through the construction of the men's dormitory and the classroom building. Mr. Stuart Edwards, Director of Placement and Admissions, announced Monday that thirty applications had been received for January entrance and sixty had been received requesting admission for the first semester in 1959. Andruss Invited To Conference In Dallas , Texas Dr. Harvey A. Andruss has been invited by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to be one of a party of four to represent Pennsylvania at a National Conference of State Education Leaders to be held in Dallas, Texas, September 25, 1958. The United States Air Force will supply the transportation for the delegates. There will be flights originating at Syracuse, New York ; Lansing, Michigan; Minneapolis, Minnesota ; and Sacramento, California. The planes will make at least two stops enroute to pick up four persons from each state and will arrive at Dallas, Texas, September 24. Meetings to be held at the Adolphus Hotel will be sponsored by the Space Age Foundation . The theme of the conference, which is being held in connection with the Annual Convention of the U.S.A.F. Association, will be the Oklahoma Plan of interesting youth in the Air Space Age. All Educational Leaders will be the guests of the U.S. Air Force from Thursday, September 25 to Sunday, September 28. On Friday, freshmen will take part in School Spiri t Day. All clothing will be worn inside-out and backwards. Freshmen will also wear a "Beat Shippensburg " sign measuring 15 by 22 inches. The proper attire for this day will be straight skirts for the women and white shirts and ties for the men. Although Formal Customs end on Friday, Customs do not actually end until the first Thursday before Halloween. Up until that time name signs and dinks will be worn and Freshmen must always have change for a quarter and matches upon the request of an upper classman, During this period they are forbidden to tread on any grass on campus or on Senior Walk.

SERONSY, Advisor CALVIN RYAN ,Business Manager Editorial Board Members WHITEY FARROW , HAROLD GIACOMINI , SANDY MOORE, CAP PARRY Art Editor — BARBY HOCKENBERRY Sports Editor — BOB STEINRUCK Secretary — JEAN MATCHULAT NOW HEAR THIS ... The MAROON AND GOLD is THE VOICE — the voice of the students, of the faculty and of the administration. Sometimes that voice is raised in exhuberance or agitation. Usuall y the tone is info rmative and humorous. Our goal this year is INCREASED INTEREST. Of primary importance has always been and will be, cam pus news. Articles will be written in advance of important events and there will be pictorial coverage of a more informal nature (no more twentyyear-old cuts!). Intercollegiate news will also be seen on the first page. George Washington 's' policy of Isolationism doesn't app l y here. We can benefit from the ideas and experiments of other colleges. Not one of us is" so complete that we can't stand to widen our horizons. Since Bloomsburg is training students to enter a profession , news and views related to the teaching field will be passed on. An examp le of this innovation is the feature on this page, "Talk to Yourself". We are also asking faculty members to contribute professional articles. Ideas of the students not on the staff are always invited and encouraged. Our staff members don't see everything interesting that happens here at the Friendl y College. Everyone enjoys sharing an amusing story with someone else. Why not share it with the whole school? If it hadn't been for a casual conversation the other night downtown, you never would have enjoyed the story of the SPCA members we have on our football team. Among the new faces to be seen on campus this year (along with those of the new faculty members) will be Lida Sebastion. She is the product not of a big city or of a small town , but of a creative mind. We hope you take as much interest in the other features of the MAROON AND GOLD as we're sure you will in her! f ashion Flar CS -wao-i FLAMBOYANT best describes the latest Fall fashions. Yes, the season when nature dresses herself in brilliant flaming reds, golden yellows, burnt oranges and sparkling greens is here. And NOW is the time for you to don these elegant hues. Here in the campusphere is the place to display the beautiful colors. Daring costumes in these shades for women, along with some changes in fashion for men, have exploded into the collegiate fashion world. The trapeze with its straight, flowing lines is prominent on the f ashion horizon. Dresses, suits, and coats are styled after this manner. Dresses have simple unbroken lines and, whether collared or plain , glimmering jeweled rope beads and coordinating bracelets, earrings and pins give a mark that equals a painter 's finishing touch. Suits follow along the same smooth line . The walking suit with the three-quarter coat is quite popular. Coats are either flared or slim, collared or cardigan , buttoned or clutch . Sportswear is exemplified by smooth line, cas u al comfort , and fla red ease. Skirts growing ever shorter can be found in full cr pleated fl ares. Clan and blanket plaids display all the lovely colors. Sweaters are growing ever longer as if to meet the hem line. Over-blouses and chemettes carry through that loose-fitting look. Tapered slacks, bermu das , and short walking skirts are available in captivating colors and styles. Glamour gams or knee length socks are a must for every sports ensemble. To complete the picture of carefree casualness are fluffy or simple coiffures, head-hugging hats, and shoes and bags emulated from Italian fashions Men, we haven 't forgotten you. However, since you supposedly are not so fickle as women, your fashions do not take on any drastic changes. A new introduction into your wardrobe might be the revived vest. This comes in foulard patterns on oxford or challis cloth. The latter light woolen fabric has already been established as a favorite for fies and belts, The button-down shirt which at one time was a radical innovation has found its place on the perennial favorite list. Clan and Madras plaids and regimental stripes are first in preference. Belts and watch bands can also be found in these designs which depict (he BRIGHT theme of this season. Green, loden or charcoal, although a little subtle, has gained in popularity. Suits, sport coats, slim slacks, and bermudas are available in these shades as well as many new exciting fabrics and designs. Trench coats, crew-neck, or bulky knit sweaters and "sneaks" are universal pets for all campusphere men and women. These old stand-bys fit well into the flamboyant trend. Check your wardrobes men and women; you may need a new addition. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should certainly tip th eir hats and bonnets to the male population 1 of ' our college, especially to those living in North Hall. This past week the members of our football squad were taking care of a litter of abandoned rabbits living inside one of the tires on the practice field. When children from the Benj amin Franklin School tried to run through the tires , they we re chased away by the adopted fathers. Late last spring a mother sparrow built a nest on the third floor fire escape of North Hall. When the men living in the dormitory discovered the fledgling s, they roped off the area (ther e wouldn 't DARE be a fire!) and used the entrance on the other side of the building. Girls, how can we ever again say the Bloomsburg men aren 't kind and considerate ? The Commuters — Nikki and Robin Now that we 've all been through registration , the book store, Robert Hall's, and the bank accounts: let's matriculate. We thought our summer jobs were b ad until we heard about these: Dr. Fike was an agent for the Stauffer home reducing plan, nice work Doctor. Carl Stanitski checked I.D. cards at the Ipher Nursing Home. Mr. Shelly had a part time j ob at Arthur Murray's. Miss Wray became the firs t woman to swim the English Channel — lengthwise, and Tommy Kazatski collected unemployment eompensa* t inn Betty Tarr met Governor Leader very informally this summer. He rescued her after she accidentally locked herself in the ladies room. Well, things are back to abnormalcy. Orchid of the week goes to Bill Thomas lor getting the first fiat tire of the year. Naturally we sympathized as much as possible without stopping to help. ANNOUNCING (sound of tr umpets) THE COMMUTERS CRUSADE FOR BETTER PARKING FACILITIES. .. We have two suggestions : (1) Place reserve signs on some of the stalls at Navy Hall for faculty use . This would reopen the thirty-five stalls which are now empty, for student use. (2) Let one of those stea m rollers tha t are crawling all over campus flatten out a hill and make a parking lot. Mail all suggestions, short of anarchy and bribing an officer , to Mr. Blair. The Commuters would like to extend a welcome to all the new instructors.

HAVE YOU NOTICED... all the blondes on campus this year, or all For Spice . .7 After attending the first, combined assembly program of this school yea r, every young gentleman at Bloomsburg should know how to invite a tempting young miss to dance; and every coed should know how to graciously accept his offer. Mr. Russell Curry, Director of the Curry School of Dancing, Boston, Massachuetts, a teacher, an entertainer , and a lecturer advocates courtesy above all other aspects of dating. Invitations such as "Come on snake, let's wiggle," and "Hey ! care to j oin me in a soda " are strictly taboo in modern dating. The ability to sit in a chair properly is an art in itself. After watching Mr . Curry 's demonstration , no girl should at tempt to use the socalled "sneak at ta ck," bouncing tactics , or the scoop method. The appointment of Mrs. Virginia Duck as Instructor in English at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, Mrs. Duck has been teaching in the public schools of Pennsylvania for the past eighteen years, and has done graduate work at Duke University. TALK to YOURSELF Scientists probing the mysteries of the human brain at various colleges and universities have come up with some surprising new conclusions, reports the October Reader 's Digest. Among them : It's as easy to think hard as not to think at all. You think more imaginatively lying down, more forcef ully when you stand. How much you "talk to yourself" is probably the most accurate measure of your intelligence. In the article, "New Light On How the Mind Works," Lawrence Galton reveals that researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found subj ects engaged in solving difficult problems used virtually no more energy than others who were sound asleep. They concluded that most of the brain's energy is used in j ust "keeping the circuits open." It takes little more effort to use the circuits. Dr. Hugo Beigel of Long Island University tested subj ects in different postures. He discovered thinking is more complacent lying down. Associations are freer, ideas have wider range. Stand up, and thinking becomes more energetic; decisions come faster. Want to take advantage of the tendencies of both positions? Merely sit down. It's an effective compromise. A University of Massachuetts psychology professor suggests that the extent of our "conver sations" with ourselves may determine how intelligent we are. Verbal cues are commonplace, he says, though they may not be audible. How much we use those cues influence the extent of our learning and the power of our reasoning. Ever feel tense while studying? You should , says a Lehigh University psychologist. He found that during concentrated mental effort , tensions flow over the muscular system in waves. That should come as no surprise to anyone who's ever "crammed" lor exams. The Digest article is condensed f r om "Popular Science Monthly." the ex-brunettes for that matter ? Bob Stish is teaching Spanish to Fidel Castro and his "Rebel Rouser's" this semester ? Mary Ann Thornton acquired a glamorous Hollywood tan in Hoboken , New Jersey?

Ninety Percent Of Graduates Now Teaching A survey of the placement of graduates of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College for a hfteen-year period from 1941 to 1955 inclusive, completed by 'Dr. Ernest H. Englehardt, shows that more than ninety percent of those graduates available for employment have been employed in the teaching profession. Of the tot alof 2,165, forty-six were not available for employment, being either enrolled in graduate school, members of the armed services, or married women who have never taught. Only two persons were employed at the time of the survey, and only two persons could not be reached. More than ninety-nine per cent of the Elementary graduates have taiierht. This fifteen-year placement study is a part of the general follow-up policy of the college, the first study being made by Mr. Earl N. Rhodes, then Director of Placement, for the ten-year period from 1931 to 1940, inclusive, covering 1,025 graduates, and showing that seventy-seven per cent of the graduates of that decade entered the teaching profession. Supplemental studies were made by Mr. Joseph R. Bailer for a five-year period, showing that the number of graduates teaching had increased to eighty per cent. A three-year study made by President Harvey A . Andruss showed an increase to the eighty-three per cent mark. The fifteen-year study completed by Doctor Engelhardt includes the groups in the Bailer and Andruss surveys. Of the 250 in the group of 2,165 graduated from college in the last fifteen years, who have not followed the profession of teaching, it is likely that subsequent studies will indicate that at least half of this group will have taught. These studies represent the most comprehensive twenty-five year surveys of graduates made by any college in the United States in an attempt to find out how successful their graduates are in following the profession for which they have been educated .

The Huskies looked quite impressive in their scrimmage against Lycoming last Saturday after ironing out a few wrinkles in the firs t part of the game.

Coach Blair, working with almost an entirely new backfield due to the loss of such key players as Eddie W a tts , John Oustrich, Jonah Goobic and Gerry Wood, feels that once his team gets in actual competition they will work as a well organized unit, although he knows most of the men are lacking in experience. The defensive line looked especially good and if an effici ent pass defense can be set up, the opposition will have a tough time scoring on this year's team.
