Tonight in Gym

The All-College Reception and
Dance, Bloomsburg's annual coming-out party for freshmen, will be
held this evening, October 2 , from
8:30 to 11:30 p.m. in Centennial
Gymnasium. At this time all freshmen and new students will be presented to President Harvey A. Andruss.
Lee Vincent and his orchestra
will provide music for the semiformal affair with an autumnal
theme. Refreshments will be served.
The entire faculty and student body
are invited and urged to attend.

Parents Here Sunday

Mr. C. Stuart Edwards has announced plans for the Sixth Annual
Parents' Day to be held this Sunday. The college expects 450 parents and a corresponding number
of freshmen to attend.
Freshmen and their parents have
been invited to attend services at
the local churches before attending
dinner at 1:00 in the College Commons. The girls' dormitory, Waller
H all , will be open from 2:15 to 2:30
for parents' inspection.
John A. Hoch, Dean of Instruction, will moderate a panel composed of Paul Martin, Bu siness
Manager; M. Beatrice Mettler, Res^
ident Nurse; Evelyn J. Gilcrest, Assistant Dean of Women; and C.
Stuart Edwards, Director of Admissions and Placement. They will
examine many of the college policies and some of the problems encountered by new students. Parents
and students are invited to ask
questions after the panel discussion.

Students Alerted
To Fire Hazards

Fire hazards are a real and continuing problem on the BSTC campus. In a recent communique to
faculty, st udents, and non-instructiona l em ployees , President Andruss noted that five fires have been
caused by carelessly thrown cigarette butts. The first of the series
caused a minor fire scare because
a smoldering cigarette was discovered in peat moss immediately outside Waller Hall. Four other mishaps took place in Science Hall and
Husky Lounge.
Nearly 1200 students of the 1600
enrolled at one time or another during each day have classes in Science
H all , a firetrap, constantly under
the surveillance of both state officials and school administrators.
Built in 1906, the Hall was originally designed with half floors to
allow easy access for instructors
and students between classrooms
and laboratories, but this is now
generally recognized as an architectura l and safety error. Wooden
stairways still exist as main avenues of traffic. In many cases, students must first climb up a half
flight of wooden stairs in order to
descend to the ground floor. Congestion, although markedly improved , is a maj or concern to the
fire drill committee, which sees it
as a threat to over half of the stu#^

In recent years, nearly $50,000
has been expended to construct fire
towers in the front r.nd rear of the
buildi ng. Although this addition
barely satisfies state requirements,
in case of a major conflagration
there is the possibility that the
center of the building might be
gutted , stranding students on the
upper floors . The fire committee is
hopeful that fire extinguishers and
other equipment will be periodically
tested as required by state law. In
the near future , Sftgns will be placed
in every room in Science Hall instructing students what to do and
where to go during a fire alarm.
Fire committee chairman, Blli
Stevenson, feels that student
awareness is the key to BSTC safety . The committee is now planning
to alert the student body to the
dangers and possibilities of fire,
especially in Science Hall. With .
caution and care, committee members are certain fire safety qn campus can be greatly Improved within
a few weeks,

Book Sto re Policy Reviewed
Recently the College Book Store has been the target of much criticism. The major complaints made by students seem to be in regard
to the understocking of text books. In a recent interview with Mr.
Williams, manager of the bookstore, and Dean Hoch , the problems
encountered in placing orders and receiving books were discussed. Following are the two main criteria governing the policy of ordering texts.
The college places an order during the summer for a specific number
of books. The estimate number of texts is based on an established enrollment in classes for each particular course. Often these fi g ures ar c
not accurate, because more students may -be accepted by the college
before the start of the semester, students may drop out of courses, and
others may make scheduling changes. When ordering books, the faculty figures on a minimum correction for second hand copies , especiall y
if the book has been a new edition the previous semester. This fig ure
varies in respect to basic and technical courses, Accurate estimates
cannot be made on the number of second hand texts in circulation , or
the number of students who will share books.
It is possible to arrange with the various book companies to return
books, but this is an impractical solution to the problem because of the
freight rates involved. The profit made on one book in the college
store is not outstanding enough to merit the return of 35 or 40 books.
It is not feasible to have Book Store profits tied up in stock since it
cannot be put to other use. Purchasing a few less than the demand
keeps the inventory low and makes possible the release of more funds
for National Defense Loans and student financial assistance. Each
semester special orders are taken for books not available. These orders
are telephoned to the different companies and sent special delivery to
the college within 24 to 48 hours.
Measures have been taken to ease the situation and the faculty has
been advised by the President of the college of the text book situation.
It has also been noted that many colleges do not place orders for
textbooks until after the semester begins. They then place orders for
the specific number of books ordered by the students, but cannot distribute them until a much later date.

A Message from Your CGA

One of the main issues discussed at the first College Council meeting
was the Community Activities Budget. Many people in the past have
questioned the disbursement of the monies collected during registration.
Naturally, those who did the questioning were the nvc.thematical geniuses- in the lounge who figure the number of students attending the
college, multiply that by a certain activities fee, and come up with the
result, "Where is our money going?"
At the end of the last semester and also during the summer, C.G.A.
Treasurer , Myles Anderson and I received from the Business Office the
requests for allocations from the various groups and organizations on
campus. We also received the figure of the estimated income whjch
should be realized this year . Included in the figure are Fees from Students and Faculty, Admissions, Sales Rally, Fashion Show, and others.
Then it is our responsibility to divide the income among the various
groups and organizations, and I can happily say that each group and
organization received the amount they requested. If you are still in
doubt , a copy will be available for your inspection in the College Council
ofttce at any time.
There is one item on the Budget which should be of particular interest
to you. This item includes dances sponsored by College Council. We
made a provision in the budget for the purpose of bringing to our
campus two big-name bands or entertainers, one to be presented each
semester. However , in order to have this proj ect, the events must be
self-supporting. This affair is being presented on a trial basis. If the
expenses are not covered by the income, they may be discontinued in
the future ; therefore the entire project rests upon your shoulders. The
success or failure of this event will be in your hands. If it is a success,
this proj ect could become a traditional , bi-annual affair.
Once again I should like to say that if there are any complainis or any
suggestions please voice them to your representatives in Council or to
the C.G.A. officers. This is the only way you can change Idlo talk into
Action.

C.G.A. President

A Freshman Speaks

We, the freshmen, in our few weeks on campus have formulated an
opinion of Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Opinions differ as do
personalities, but a few are heard so often that they may bo considered
a consensus,
Upperclassmen may wonder what this year 's freshmen really think
of Customs. Customs, 1959, can be defined In one word—immature . They
were not effective, for they were not enforced, They were too much like
high school Customs. Fortunately, the class of 1963, fools itself to be a
part of BSTC In-splte-of , not because of , Customs.
Bloomsburg lives up to its reputation as the "friendly college on the
hill. " Walking down the corridors of Waller Hall , strolling down.Sonior
Walk , or pushing your way toward Science Hall , you ' Cool this aura of
friendliness in the smiles and greetings that are aimed in your direction. This is what makes a freshman feel welcome to BSTC. Not onlv is
this a friendly college, but it also has a well planned campus. It is close
to town, but not so close that it cannot have Its own personality.
A great army of teachers will pour through these doors in four year vs.
Those teachers will be members of the class of 1963. 1am confident thni
we will profit by the opportunities given to us at BSTC.

They 's rumors goin around about
some congressmen working on Saturday 's so's they culd hurry up and

th e te r m "workin " in its light er
sense here. Now, Mr. editer , I dont
git alarmed as a rule over things
that happens moi'e'n a few miles
from my house, cause by the time
a man keeps his own place from
gittin into the hands of the sherrif
or the banker and figgers oul
enough answers to his old lady 's
questions and gits used to hayin
his taxes red uced by the politician
in ever campaign and raised after
ever election , he a n 't got much time
left to git alarmed about things
takin place ve ry far from home.
But I think this thing of Congressmen workin on Saturday 's is
heariin us fer complete ruen. It has
took me years an years to convince
my old lady that workin on Saturday 's is unthink able and un-American . When we was first married
and 1 wanted ter go to town on
Saturday I had to claim I was goin
to the court house to git some farm
papers signed , or the cultivator
needed a new point. I recall onct I
even forged a j ury summons to git
to town on Saturday. But a couple
wars come along and us menfolks
got bolder and bolder and finally
got clown to where if we want to go
to town on Saturday we j ust put on
our other shirt and tell the old lady
we 'll be back fer church Sunday
l l l l J l I l l l lg .

Now , if Congress, a outfit I figfered we could count on to stand
back o things, a sort of last refuge
agin change an un-American ideas,
is goin to start workin on Saturday 's, then things is goin to get in
bad shape back here at home.
We got three kinds of Congressmen in Washington , the good ones,
(he bad uns, and them that is too
lazy to show a marked trend in
either direction. Up to now the
good uns and the bad uns has been
wrasslin it out to a tie . If them lazy
ones pitch in and start workin on
Saturday 's, things is goin to the
dogs fer certain. A heap of folks
might say that it ain 't goin to hurt
nothing if them Congressmen do a
little work onct in a while on Saturd ay 's. If you give some fellers a
inch they'll take a foot , but if' n
you give a Congressman a inch he 'll
take the shirt off' n yore back and
pass a law puttin you in jail fer
goin naked.
I vvuld apperchiate it Mister Editer , if you'd write our Congressman
and nip this Saturday business in
the bud.

As u su a l , the start of the new
school year brought with it many
gripes and questions about annoying "bugs" in our daily campus routine. Nothing will be gained if yourv
proposals and questions are directed at your lounge-mates.
In the past year, ideas were presented at CGA meetings and the
proper student officers and representatives were instructed to "look
i n to the m a tt er ". Since that time,
little has been heard from any official source, mainly because no one
has taken the time to ask publicly
the progress of some of these ideas.
We will never know what has become of our ideas unless we speak
up at open CGA meetings or write
our opinions in this column.
I, therefore , would like to take
this opportunity to ask about two
specific proposals made last year :
the Vets Club , and the idea of establishing a used book exchange.
What, progress has been made and
what is the current, status of those
two ideas ?

131oomsburg State Teachers College has added a new leaf to its history. Professor Howard F. Fenstemaker and Mrs. Mary Lou John
are the first father-daughter combination to serve on the College faculty at the same time.
Mrs. John is the third generation
of her family to be graduated from
this college. Her grandmother was
gr aduated in 1888, an d both her
mother and her father were graduated in 1912. Mrs . John received
her degree in 1945; her husband ,
Harry John , Jr., was awarded the
ba chelor 's degree at BSTC in 1948,
after having served three years in
the armed forces. Their son, Edward , is now in the fourth grade at
the campus laboratory school.
Mrs. John will teach professional
orientation and history of civilization, a cou rse which h er fathe r h a s
,taught for nearly tv* o decades.
Professor Fenst emak er, a member of the college faculty for thirtythree years, teaches foreign languages and social studies.

Congress and th e President , arcadequate salaries and working
conditions for teachers ; adequate
facilities for teaching; scholarships

The Senator impressed upon the

Mr. Williams stated in effect that
it would not conflict with the College Book Store, however there
could be some problem concerning
the state sales tax. The provision
that this could become an annual
event if proved successful was noted. In a memorandum to College
Council on March 18, 1959, the
President of the college stated that
the operation of a used book bureau
has been tried several times and

open meeungs. i nis is a good iuea ,
but it would be much better if students used this column to advance
ideas of benefit to the entire community and ask for periodic reports
from the person delegated to "look
into the matter ", after the inquiry
ha s been made.
If there are limiting factors
which would prevent reports at future CGA meetings, why not report
directly to the student body
through th e bulletin board , or belter still , a special column in the

ANSWE R:
De ar Joh n ,
I should like to take this opportunity to tell not only you but the
entire student body that we welcome letters to the editor. We feel
that this column provides an opportunity for students to voice their
opinion on college controversies and
might possibly call attention to
problems which are in need of a solution. However, each letter that is
published must bear the signature
of the writer. The editorial board
exercises the right to rej ect any letter which is not based on sound
reasoning or is not clearly written.
The Maroon and Gold will periodically publish reports from the minutes of College Council meetings,
but this cannot be done until after
the President of the College approves these minutes. Last year the
minutes of the meetings were posted on the bulletin board in Noetling
Hall , and I understand that this
procedure will be followed again in
the future.
In answer to your specific questions, the idea of starting a Veterans Club on campus was presented to Council last spring. It was decided to table the discussion until
this f all.
On March 9, 1959 the possibility
of establishing a used book bureau
was presented to Council. The provisions stated were:
(1) a dance from which proceeds
would go into the fund;
(2) the sale would be held at the

Football is an expensive game. The BSTC football player you see on
the field Saturday afternoon carries nearly $123 in equipment. Pants
($25) , helmet ($19), shoulder pads ( $26), shoes ($18) and hip pads ($15)
are the most expensive items. The $123 does not include practice equipm ent , additional jerseys, or special protective devices. Costly too is the
stocking of the medicine cabinet. In tape alone, the Huskies accumulate
:i bill of nearly $250.

This year BSTC will find the
inter- collegiate athletic program
enlarged by the addition of swimming and golf teams. "Due to the
expansion and increased enrollment
of our college it was felt necessary
correspondingly to enlarge the athletic program to fit the students'
needs," stated athletic director
Russell Houk.
Heilman, Satz Named Coaches
Named to the coaching positions
were Mr. Donald Heilman and Dr.
Martin Sat z, swimming and golf respectively. Mr. Heilman is enthused over the early exuberance
shown by potential swimmers even
though the season will not get underway until January when the
Huskies open a nine-meet schedule
which includes a trip to the State
Teachers College Championship.
Lyco First on Golfing- Slate
Only a tentative slate has been
approved for the ^ golfing calendar
which will begin in early April
against Lycoming. Scheduling for
both programs will be on a home
and away basis with the same intercollegiate rules and eligibility prevailing as covers other BSTC
sports .

The Bloomsburg Huskies will
be after another win tomorrow
when they meet the Mount aineers of Mansfield STC on the
upst ate field. Although t h e
Huskies easily defeated them
last year, Coach Walt Blair and
his staff are expecting a rough
game from the Mountaineers.
Homecoming Day, 1958, saw
the Huskies rack up a 32-6 score
against the visiting Mansfield
team. It was truly a successful
Homecoming with over 3,000
people attending the game. A
large group of students is expected to follow the team to
Mansfield , so it should be anoth er football thriller.

Varsity Club notice . . .

Freshman students may be unaware of the regulation on page 119 of
the Pilot concerning hign school varsity letters. The Varsity Club would
like to remind them that "High school varsity letters may not be worn
on the campus. High school award sweaters withou t letters or insignia
may be worn."
Bit s . . .

There have been more inj uries in football this year than in any previous year. Coach Shelly reports that few have been serious but there
have been a varity of broken bones, and in one day last week, three
severly bruised shoulders.
The Jayvees have their first contest at home with East Stroudsburg
on October 9. Jack Chidester and Don Wrigh t will be handling much of
