BSTC Seeks $45,000 In Federal Funds Under N D E A Village Bohemian s Visit Bloomsburg "Vive le Boheme!" This will be the cry tonight when Bloomsburg 's Maxwell Bodenheims and Francoise Sagans invade Husky Lounge for the second annual Bohemian Ball. What/fs a Bohemian ? You name it. This is the one time in the year when you can act and dress as you so desire. Freedom is the key word, so your outfits should express that hidden desire to dress as you please. Black sweaters, leotards, berets and cigarette holders should be at a maximum, along with lovely ladies laden with eyeshadow and mysterious men with goatees and beards. Husky Lounge will take on the atmosphere of Greenwich Village, as the Social Recreation Committee has a bag full of surprises for those Bohemians who dare attend. Remember—a costume is required if you want to j oin in the fun and frolic. Music will be provided by a unique combo with dancing from 8 to 11. Refreshments will be served. The success of last year 's ball has encouraged the dance committee to provide an even more Bohemian atmosphere ; so come one, come all to the most risque event of the year. Dr. Andruss Invited To Attend Conclave Dr. Harvey A. Andruss has been invited, for the second time in less than a year, to be a member of the party of the Pennsylvania State Superintendent of Public Instruction t o att end th e World Congr ess of Flight and Aerospace Education at Las Vegas, Nevada, from April 14 t o Apr il 19, 1959. In Septem ber , 1958, four Pennsylvanians — the State Superintendent, th e President of a State Teachers College, a district Superin tendent of Schools, and a retired General, representing the Aviation Committee of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce—attended a similar meeting sponsored by the United States Air Force Association at Dallas, Texas. During the session , the educators witnessed the unveiling of the Atlas missile, and received a briefing on the X-15 plane before experimental aircraft was tested. A carefully planned program included presentations and discussions of "The Oklahoma Experiment in Space Education," "Careers in Aerospace Science," and "Technology : Today 's ChalIpti cp " Seniors Announce Class Plans for '59 A meeting of the Senior Class was held January 20, following graduation exercises. The meeting was called to'order by Ken Swatt, General Committee Chairman. Francis Buck gave the treasurer 's report and announced that class dues may be paid to him. The various committee heads gave reports on the Senior Ball. It was decided that the ball will be held May 21, at the Manfield Ball Room in Wilkes-Barre. Music will be provided by Lee Vincent and his orchestra. .TnVm T .nnorn Viparl p H a dismission on the class memorial. The possible alternatives for the choice of a memorial included the Scholarship Fund ; the Art Loan Fund whereby the class would buy various pieces of sculpture, paintings, etc., and lend them to students for one semester at a time; the Book Fund whereby the class would purchase books that are not now available to the student body; and the Endowed Lecture Fund, set up by preceding classes, which enables the college to bring in guest speakers. After the topics were discussed, a vote w as taken and the resulting decision was that the class donate nine hundred dollars to the Endowed Lecture Fund. An election was also held for an Ivy Day speaker. John Longo was selected over the other nominees who were Joanne Bechtel, Irwin Parry, and Beth Sprout. Nominations were accepted from the floor for a May Day Queen. The class will vote on this matter at a later date. Transportation , for delegates attending the Las Vegas meeting, will be furnished by the United States Air Force.

Bloomsburg State Teachers College has requested $45,000 in Federal funds. Complying with the original deadline set up by the government, BSTC made its request prior to December 15, 1958.

As I turned off the office li ght and locked the door I noticed that there was a party going on in the Husk y Lounge. I pushed open the door just in time to hear a lion say, "Welcome, fellow creatures. I'm glad to see all of you here tonight. Since Husk y Loungt is a poor place to hold a business meeting, on with the party ! Eat , drink and be merry." If Noah had suddenl y appeared in the midst of this crowd and started to play "The Merry-Go-Round Song", I wouldn 't h ave been at all surprised. As it was, Husky Lounge looked like Noah's Ark musi have looked (after the flood). Every animal imaginable was there. After the lion roared , "E at , drink and be merry !", they charged tc the snack bar. The swift- footed antelope and the greyhound were the first in line, but they were in such a hurry to get back to their friends that they spilled coke and dropped chi ps all over the floor. The elephant sent the mouse to get him some popsiclcs. He was smart. While everyone else pushed and shoved and dropped, things, he just sat back , put his feet on the cushions of the booth , and smoked cigarettes. As soon as he finished one and crushed it on the floor with his big, heavy f oot , he lit another and threw the match on the floor with the butts. Monday night 's enterta inment was fabulous ! It was reall y "fried shoes," as the Beatniks would say. Sammy the Seal bounced potato chip bags and cand y wrappers and dixie cups on his nose to the tune , "My Girl's a Hullabaloo". He aimed them at the trash cans sometimes , but , oh well, Sammy didn 't look to strong. After Sammy's num ber , A nteater Al tau ght "How to Draw in One Easy Lesson." He emphasized practice, so all the party-boys and all the party-girls got out their ball-point pens and their mechanical pencils and made designs on the table tops. Some of them were out of this world. They blended so well with the modernistic designs already imprinted in the formica by the experts. The party was still going strong when my tired eyes started to close and I began to climb three fli ghts to the fourth floor of Waller Hall. All the way up, I thought how nice it would be if we could have a bangup party like that. Tuesday afternoon I walked into the Husky Lounge and , sure enou gh, i t certa i n ly looked as if someone had had a party. What 's that you say, Mr. Williams? You mean I had a fantastic dream and Husky Lounge is always in this condition? You don 't mean i t ! Language at Bloomsburg Most of us , as students at Bloomsburg, feel a certain pride concerning our school. We feel that it is a good one and that it is doing right by us. However , despite a general attitude of contentment , we find that we are apt to complain , often unfairly, but sometimes, quite justly. One of those complaints which , to u s, deserves some consideration is that of modern languages. In a school that boasts nearly 1400 students there is a one-man language department and an offering of only French and Spanish. This state of affairs developed , no doubt , through the slow deterioration of interest in foreign languages. However , this trend is over and interest in language study, particularly modern language study, is strong once again. Here at Bloomsburg, there is evidence of a resurgence of interest in language. One finds students teaching other students what they know about French or German. If there is this much interest manifested , is th ere probably not much more that is 'submerged for lack of any language instructional matter to buoy it up? In 'securing a broader language selection and better qualified teachers for the secondary school, • there is bound to be a lag as teachers are trained , but must we spread th at lag out over fruitless years while little is done in the area of language teacher training ? Moreover , the importance of French , Germ a n , Russian , Spanish , and even Latin , is not likely to decrease, but will probably increase greatly with expanded relations with the peoples of the world. Why then , are these languages not offered in teacher training institutions , arfd why is interest in them not systematically promoted ? Aid Offered Future College Professors Nearly 1000 graduate students at U.S. and Canadian universities will soon emerge on college faculties as the result of the new program instituted by the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Foundation. Covering a period of five years, the program of financing graduate studies for future teachers is made possible by a $25 million Ford Foundation grant. Prospective awardees are nominated by faculty members. Most nominees are outstanding seniors, although graduates are eligible if they are free to re-enter school. Final recommendations are made by regional committees for the 1000 fellowships awarded each year. President of the Foundation is Sir Hugh Taylor, dean-emeritus , Graduate School , Princeton University. Hans Rosenhaupt is the national director.

CECIL SERONSY , Advisor Two Decades of Service An Active Career Every college ha s an Inner Sanctu m. Bloomsburg 's Inner Sa nct u m has been presided over by the same ^ian since 1939. Thi s year, Doctor Harvey A. Andruss is celebrat ing his 20th year as president of Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Doctor Andr uss' appoi ntment to the presid ency did not begin his activities here at Bloomsburg. In 1930, at the age of twenty-eight , he organized and became head of the commercial education department. Six years later , he became Dean of Instru ction , a position he hold until 1941. During the years 1939-41, ho was also acting president , due to the appointment of former President Francis B. Ha as to the post of Superintendent of Public Instruction in the state of Pennsylvania. Doctor Andr uss began his career in education at the age of nineteen when he was appointed princi pal of an Indian reservation high school at Gotebo , California. In 1921, this Cayawa school required physical examinations for all faculty members, a program recently instituted here at the college. President Andruss reports that the students of this decade were bet ter than those of today, probably due to the fact that education was not compulsory, and only those really interested attanrieirl At the age of twenty, Doctor Andruss was on the faculty of the Ponca City High School, located in an Oklahoma oil city. This city collected no taxes from its residents. Instead , it secured revenue from the operation of a public utility . The schedule used for paying the teachers is one gaining wide use today—the twelve month system . When Doctor Andru ss was twentythree, he was an instructor on the faculty of Northwestern University. Since leaving there, he has been at h$iooms Durg. Doctor Andruss and his wife live on Light Street Road , in the same general area as Centennial Gymnasium. The flowers around their house are evidence of the president's interest in gardening. The stock originates in the campus greenhouse, and it is then transplanted in the Andruss' garden . When the flowers bloom, they are cut , and often make their appearance on the tables of the College Commons. Another favorite pastime of our president is traveling. He has been to England and Scotland , enj oys trips to Florida and the West Indies, and frequently goes to Minneapolis to visit his son 's family . Bloomsburg is fort unate to have at its head a man who is progressminded. His new ideas are constantly changing the face of our campus and the minds of its inhabitants. It is our hope that the pa st twenty years have been as rewarding to President Andruss as they have been beneficial to Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Mary Ann Thornton The Commuters — Nlkki and Robin Since the Old Philosopher closed with Shulman last issue, w o think it's only fair tfeat we open with Stapleton. "Knick-knack paddy-wack Give your cow a cud You can't get to Navy Hall Because of all Ihe mud." We quote from an exclusive interview with a member of the construction crew. "You wanta know why there 's so much mud? I'll tell ya. The messier the place is the more it looks like we're accomplishing. Why right now we have three men making mud for every one man mixing cement." That' s fine boys, but in the moan time we feel like Anna Magnani playing the lead in Bitter Rico. If you see grouns of students in suspicious looking huddles , don 't worry. They 're not shooting crap ! they 're sharing music books. Whoever was responsible for ordering 29 books for 200 students in the seven sections of Music Appreciation , we ask that, you please note the first issue of this year's Mar oon & Gold for our fool-proof book ordering formula. In case even tho M ar oo n & Gold Is on reserve wo repeat the formula: Number of students enrolled in course 200 Number of books 0 available Number of books 200 needed Speaking of problems, wo have finally solved the parking situation.

The OLD PHILOSOP HERS --^^ There is no need to welcome you back , because we know you 're not glad to be back. There is no need to ask you if you enj oyed your vacation , because wo know you did. There is no need to ask you how you like Saturday cl a sses, because we know you don't. So let's j ust welcome the January freshmen and wish them luck , and get on with our version of doings on the campusphere. The subje ct of conversation in almost any group is Saturday classes. This innov ation will , we are su re , change many things for BSTC students. The weekenders claim it will ruin their home town romances. Commuters worry over the added gas expenses and the probability of more car trouble. Workers at College Commons dislike the idea of more people staying for a longer period of time. There is sure to be some effect on the food situation in the dinin g hall. With many of the students , who u sua lly go home on Friday, having to stay for their next day 's classes, the number of people oaling three additional meals will add to the food costs of Slater Caterers. More headaches for Big Daddy. One thing can be said in favor of Saturday classes, Husky Lounge no longer looks like a ghost town from a "Cheye nn e " show on Friday and Saturday. No w if the libr ar y ho urs w e r e ex tended , BSTC would really be taking stops toward a better education. Students who spent most of their Saturday mornings in the library doing their assignments now find them- ¦: selves in classes being given additional assignments, for which they have no time to get to the library to do. After they finish their classes, t hey rush to the dining hall and wait in line from 12:00 to 12:15; they rush through lunch; at 12:45 they find themselves waiting ten more minutes to got throu gh the scrape table ; now for a fast cigarette , and finally arriving in the library at 1:05. That leaves less than an hour to get your throe library assignments done for Monday . At 1:45 the "hints" to get ready to leave begin by the librarians closing windows, turnin g off lights in some sections, and the noisy pushing of unused chairs into place.

"Tho Inn of the Sixth Happiness" reminded us of a Chinese "Bridge on the River Kwai." And 1hen there is our friend who became sea-sick watching "Tho Old Man and the Sea."

Mill ersville's Steve Micio lived up to his newspaper clippings by taking a 5-2 win over strong Dale Sullivan. However , Bobby Rohm , 157 pounder , brought the Bloomsburg fans back to the edge of thHr fc^its again by taking an exciting 2-0 match from Matt Farley. Bobby's t wo points came on a reversal in the second period. Walt Kottmeyer pinned Bob Asby in the tri-perio d for a Milk-rsvilkfi ve-pointer , and Stan Elinski was decisioned by Waller Prior? 9 to f>. S1an put on one of the finest exhibitions we have seen him display this season. Even though he was defeated he still looked mighty sharp. Now with one more match remaining on the evening 's card , the H uskies were leading by a slim 12 to 11 score. The final contest would be the determiner. Coach Houk's entry in the unlimited division was Bruisin Gary Allen. Pitted against him from Millersville was Paul Baker. We 've tried to think j ust what migh t have been going through Baker's mind when he saw Gary bounce on to the mat and come toward him. He probably was wondering if Coach Houk hadn 't fed the "little bruin " raw steak all week and then j ust unloosed the chains in time for him to come out for the match. However , such couldn 't have been the case. Gary doesn't even like raw steak, and besides that , no chains could have held him that long. He would have broken out of them long before eight o'clock on Saturday night. At any rate, the bull-like freshman from Muncy came through^ v-it h a sparkling victory over his much heavier opponent. He finished the first period with a 2-1 lead. Baker scored on an escape in the opening seconds of the second stanza to knot the count , but Gary bolted back out in Lock Haven 's unlimited weight attempts to release Gary Allen's hold front , 5-2, with an escape and a reversal in the final half minute of the during contest Thursday night. The match was witnessed by a reported period. 2,500 fans. The final three minutes got underway, with Coach Houk shouting for Gary to keep pressing the towering Maurader. This he did. holding fast to his 5 to 2 lead. Then , with about forty seconds remaining in the match. Allen took Baker down and held him flat on the mat with a pinning combination. The crowd rose to its feet in wild encouragement for the Husky grappler. We 've yet to find out just how Dean Hoch got down to the main floor from four rows up in the bleachers without stepping on any of the spectatrs. Of course, Doc Wagner and the others in the front row were calm , cool and collected as usual. Gary failed to score the pin, but he still had Baker on his back when the buzzer sounded , and he racked up a margin of 11 to 2. His teammate 1: rushed out on the mat, hoisted their tired winner to their shoulders and carried him to the locker room amidst a f ury of cheers and excitement. The final score was 15 to 11. This is the exciting story of the fourth straight victory of the '59 The BSTC courtmen of Coach s Shelley went down to defeat at the hands of Millersville's State Teachers College Champs 73-65 in a close tussle at Centennial Gym . A late spurt by the visiting cagers put the game on ice in the closing minutes. The Marauders were paced by a package of scoring dynamite in the person of Jim Balden who had 26 points. Bill "Red" Swisher and Norm Shutovich led the Huskies with 21 and 19 points respectively. Ray Burger played a sparkling game under the boards as did John Laszek of the Marauders. The action in the hard fought contest was so tense that the score was deadlocked eight times. The Marauders , a smooth-moving outfit , worked the weave to perfection against a tight BSTC defense. It wasn't until the last moments when \he Millersville club broke through with 8 straight points to keep a safe advantage and pull through ^with a hardearned victory. Dick Lloyd, sensationalfreshman, again played a terrific game under the boards while rimming 12 points. Jack Mascioli . speedy guard, and Al Francis, sparkplug playmaker, had 8 and 4 points to dent the scoring column.

Intra-Murals program got off to a good start about a month ago The intra-mural with Coach Heilman in charge and Bobby Warren working as student coordinator. Then suddenly, due either to lack of interest or else to some unknown reason, the program hit rock bottom . Game after game had to be forfeited because not enough players showed up to make two complete teams. We 're not going to say too much , although Bobby would agree to our printing some strong words directed toward a few of the team captains. The last time intra-murals were staged , everyone for both squads were Jim Bray sights the 13th board and hopes for a strike. (Did you say on hand.

The "Esquir es, " a familiar dance combo to BSTC st udents , provided the music. January 30 found ' the Husky Lounge once more crowded with BSTC students. A hat dance from 8 to 11 p.m. was on the program for the evening. Paper hats, sailor hats , scarves , and the familiar freshman dink were among the creations displayed by those attending. On Friday, February 8, a Bohemian Ball is scheduled. A costume is required for admittance. Now that many more students will be staying on campus on Friday nights, it is hoped by the Social and Recreati on Committee that the lounge dan ces will have a good attendance. Mexican Senioritas at Millersville Ten lovely Mexican, senoritas spent two weeks on the campus of Millersville STC as a part of the Experiment in International Living progi-am. Comparing Mexico and the United States, the girls found that a more formal society exists in Mexico. For example , in Mexico, children have their place, and they stay in it. They do not interrupt their parents or teachers whenever they wish to speak. What' s more, girls do not spend an evening alone with a young man , but must be chaperoned. Several girls who are teachers told of the educational differences which exist. In Mexican elementary schools an average of nine to 12 subj ects a year are studied by students. These do not include such "extras" as music, art , or sports. Moreover, elementary students begin studies subj ect such as geometry which are normally considered advanced in our own country . Frankly Speaking From the Indiana Penn, Indiana STC — Last week saw the campus discussing the public display of affection. Everyone, it seems , was up to his neck in necking. One student was particularly irritated at the uproar, "How can they be against it when they even teach a course called the Romantic Movement?" she asked. Another naive observer who suggested that ping-pong tables replace sofas was asked if he knew how difficult it was to kiss on a ping-pong table. ivir. Jrioiman saia. Cinemoscope or Vista-Vision ?

(I.P.) — Action is being taken by the Student Dis(ciplinary Committee at the Univers\ity of Bridgeport on a survey of dis(ciplinary procedures recently polled iby Dr. Alfred Wolff , director of Stuient Personnel. The first change bejing recommended is the substitution of other disciplinary measures for three day suspensions. ' The substitutions include restriction to the University campus for two weeks for the first offense, fo u r weeks for the second offense and suspension for the remainder of the semester for the third offense. The committee is also recommending to the Office of St u dent Personnel that the three day suspension be revoked for smoking in the classrooms. The committee believes that this whole problem could be practically eliminated if all faculty members would show interest in telling students not to smoke in unauthorized the students a iplaces and giving igood example in regard to their own adherence to these rules. According to Dr. Wolff , it is ju st as important for the students to shoulder equal responsibility in seeing that the existing smoking regulations are obeyed. The committee is also studying the initiation of alternate penalties for students who do not pay their Rnes on time and receive automatically a three day suspension fro m the University. i < i What some speakers lack in depth they make up in length.
