Phi Sig* Admits Twelve Pledgees Rally Stresses Problems, Goals Carver Auditorium was the scene of a most lively and unusual sales rally on Thursday, November 5, 1959. With a crowd of approximately 600 present, Dr. Thomas B. Martin , director of the business education department, introduced the speakers , Ralph D. Myrick and Dr. G. Herbert True. Both men are very active in the business world. Mr. Myrick, sales analyst, stressed th e importance in the sales field of bei n g "problem-centered" instead of product-centered, while Dr. Tr u e, creativity consultant, urged the establishment of your own goals in salpsmansViin and in lifp Myrick cited the fact that 25% of the nation's sales people sell 75% of the national products. The law of salesmanship, he observed , was "a s you thi n k , so will it be." There is no room for repetitious actions and trite phrases — there is room for ideas." He intimated that every customer has a problem. It is the salesman's j ob to find out what it is, and aid in its solution. "If there's no problem, there's no sale," Myrick stated. Tho speaker listed the worst habits affecting American business as, "the late start , the early lunch, and the early quit." Dr. True discussed the American trends that find foreign imports underselling U.S. goods and the waste of time involved fixing the blame on others. In attendance at the Sales Rally wore many area business men, salesmen, and company representatives, as well as college faculty and members of the student body.

The attempt to curb this menace h as also given rise to the coinin g of such b ana l express ions as "parent delinquents," "keep t h em off t h e streets," and last, but certainly not least , "the family that prays together stays together." These self-avowed do-gooders point a menacing finger to the agencies which are most infl uential on y out h : home, church, and school; they suggest that complete reforms in each area will bring an end to the ever increasing percentage of juvenile crime. This is idealistic hogwash. For there will never be an end to the increasing percentage of juvenile crime as long as the basic causation exists. This basic cauastion is not the home, church, or the school, but something much more important and abstract than any of these agencies. It is the dominant philosophy existing within America today ; that philosophy which worships the dollar and places all on the attainment of success. American young people are indoctrinated with this philosophy from the time their father brings home his first pay check until the time they want the family car. They know that the greatest object in life is to obta i n success , an d wh en t h ey can 't atta in thi s success t h rou gh n orma l activity, they join a gang made up of other young people like themselves who find success in punishing their fellow-man.

(I.P.) — Emphasis on the quality factor in student select ion , curriculum decisions and faculty development will mark the University of Denver 's progress towards its 100th anniversary in 1964, according to Chancellor Chester M. Alter. He warned that "in a period ahead when the competition for outstanding teachers and scholars will surely increase, it would be easy for any institution to fall behind. "Nothing would more quickly produce mediocrity or shoddiness in an institution of higher learning than to permit a degeneration of the faculty. To prevent such a thing, we -must give constant attention to faculty salaries, increasing by substantial amounts, our budgets for salaries paid to highly meritorious teachers and scholars already on our faculty and to those of great promise whom we bring into the faculty of the future. At the same time, Chancellor Alter warned "with the growing range of knowledge available, combined with the increasing demands of the many vocations and profession , the planning of curricula has become increasingly difficult. We, must b e acutely aware that we cannot aff ord to try to d o every t hi n g that every other institution does. We must not expand our offerings beyond the scope of that which we can do well. "On t h e ot h er h an d, t h ere are certain basic and fundamental disciplines which we must not neglect nor permit any University of Denvci gi auudie iw iiiias. Among the problems facing higher education i.i the years ahead, were identified by Chancellor Alter as the low sta ':e of foreign languages, the role of religion , attent ion to athletics in some institutions or lack of it in others, the p lace o f manners and morals, the student who works more hours t h an he studies and the role of television as a replacement for the teacher. To t h ese, t h e Chancellor ad ded, the substitution of method fpr content in the education of teachers, the role of student organizations (160 of them on this campus) , the problem of the married student and factors of man power, defense an d federal aid to education. The Commuters by NIKKI and ROBIN Remember us? The senior exiles. Out here along the Dew Line , we are pretty well cut off from college communications. However, Dr. Mullen , our only means; of contact with the civilized world, is now recommended to the United States Postal Department for immortalizat ion on the postal stamp. It breaks our heart to see him whimper w h en we stam p "cancellation" on his forehead. Since Rhiney, alias Gene Rinehimer, is going to be grounded at the Geisinger Hospital for awhile , we think it would be a nice gesture on the part of the student body to deluge him with a contemporary card shower.

Question: How do you get a girl to accept a date ? Answer: Never give a girl just one date, give her the whole box. But , if if it makes her face break out , try giving her figs. One of our commuters is really rich—her dog has his own fire hydrant. Enjoyed "Taming of the Shrew" two weeks ago , but how did "In a Persian Market" get included in the musical score. That's not the way Dr. Seronsy teaches Shakespeare. Quote of the Week—from one of our eighth graders. "If anyone my size picked on me the way you do, they would get punched." Speaking of poor sports—just because the Amazons beat the Spartans in a friendly football game on Mt. Olympus two weeks ago, the boys are now busily organizing a knitting team to get even.

Letters . • fo the Editor Dear , Editor, Anyone walking through the BSCT Book Store w il l notice a wide assortment of stuffer animals representing the college. Amon g these are clowns, polar bears, kangaroos , and similar replicas. Unfortunately, none of these even resemble the Husky, which is the sch ool' s official mascot. It is thought by a large number of students that the Book Store should try to secure stuffed Husky Dogs. Perhaps these Huskies would be more expensive to secure and thus bring a higher price than the other animals. However, it is the general feeling that the Book Store would make many more sales if Huskies were purchased. The women of the cam pus would use them to decorate their rooms ; whereas the men would find that they make excellent gifts for their girlfriends. Thnrn J.

Secondly, the University of Washington in Seattle, the University of Connecticut at Storrs, and Northeastern University In Boston have the samo mascot as Bloomsburg. No doubt their Book Stores would ho able to supply us with Huskies.

In soft fabric, muted colors , stripes or small overall designs, these ties somehow strike the right note. For those of us who don 't quite function right in the morning, t h ere 's an all-wool Kwip-Klip tie, and its knot looks better than anything we have ever been able to manage with a knit. In black , it' s right with those new check gingham or oxford shirts. The sports j acket and casual shirt boys, have it made this season. The new University Tabber collar is becoming to practically everyone , and looks great in striped or checked oxford cloth. It also manages to give a trim, well-dressed and alert look, which is useful in that first class when you 're still sound asleep. If you're too clumsy in the morning to worry with the button for the tab, ask for the new Tabber snap collar. The ends of the tab just snap together. Between that and the clip-on tie, you can get ten minutes more sleep in the morning. The new pageant prints, however, are eye-openers. Small, neat designs, printed fine broadcloth , refl eet t h e day s of t ournaments, jou sting and heraldry. The colors are muted, softened and darkened.

L SHOCK LEY ONCE TO EUROPE AND TWICE TO AFRICA PART II- \ ! In 1733, Benjamin Franklin launched his diplomatic career with the study of French, Spanish, Latin , and Italian. Had Franklin known that he was going to joi n Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in 1786 in drafting a Treaty o( Friendship between the United States and Morocco, Franklin might have added Arabic to his list. Instead , Franklin let himself be chosen Clerk of the Genei'al Assembly of. Pennsylvania and there he learned the King's English. A few years of the King's English and Franklin was one of a ; Committee of Five (Thomas Jefferson , John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston) to I compile the American Dialect.

JOY is perfume, and, | if things did not look better, they at least smelled better. j Franklin did so well at Paris that \ ; the United States sent him to Eng; land to pit the American Dialect \ :; i Treaty of Friendship with Morocco. The United States had been having trouble with the so-called Barbary pirates—Morocco, Algeria, Tunis and Tripoli. As part of the national economy, the Barbary Powers exacted tribute and plundered vessels entering the Mediterranean by way of the narrow passage where legend says Hercules defeated the giant Aanthaseas. Here Tangier winks a wicked eye at Dame Gibraltar across the Mediterranean and here the Barbary pirates snatched an American ship in 1784. (Here is where—and I kept the receipt to prove it!—it costs $35 for the car and $15 for each passenger to take a ferry between Tangier and Gibraltar, a two and a half hour trip.) In 1785, twenty-one Americans were being held for ransom and the Americans did not have $60,000. I do not know what language Franklin and his friends used to negotiate the 1786 Treaty of Friendship with the largest and the most strategically located of the Barbary Powers, but—traveling around exotic, esoteric, and exciting Morocco in 1959—I found an a p o l o g e t i c letter from George Washington to Sidi Mohammed ben Abdal a h, the Sultan of Morocco. Dated December 1, 1789, the letter hastens—belatedly—to explain that the United States had effected a second edition of the American Dialect. The Americans called it "The Constitution of the United States." In 1791, the Treaty of Friendship was renewed and in 1812, the Sultan of Morocco presented the United States with a palace in Tangier. Relationships were friendly until 1908 and President Theodore Roosvelt sent the Mediterranean and South Atlantic squadrons into Moroccan waters to protect American citizen Ion Perdicaris who had been captured by the Riff chieftain Raisuli. ¦ Well, here I go into Riff country.

Letters to the Edito r *Shrew * Tamed for Off ice of Admissions and Placement Capacity Crowd "AS PERSONAL AS YOU MAKE IT" A capacity crowd turned out Saturday evening, November 7, to see the Canadian Players' presentation of William Shakespeare 's comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew." The talented group did not require elaborate sets; they operated quite satisfactorily with only the basic materials needed to stage * the scenes. The performance could be characterized in a single word : exuberant . The roles called for a great deal of physical activi ty on the part of the whole cast. In a few places, because of the roughness of the situations, the action bordered on slapstick ; however, on the whole, the comedy was handled as neatly as possible. The whole company showed that special amount of enthusiasm necessary to the success of a Shakespearean producuun . The facial expressions of the Shrew provided much laughter, and many times the look on her face spoke far more effectively than any words she might have uttered. Kate's progress toward becoming an obedient wife was carried out with j ust the right amount of consistency ; 'her final speech concerning wifely duties summarized the play very well.

Here was a man who had everything as far as wise parents and a good environment was concerned. This man was also very intelligent, for it appears that he had once taught at one of the best schools in the country. He was immediately released (they accepted what \va.i probably a forced resignat ion) alter it was learned that he had his price. If he had it. to do over , would ho still have a price ? Do we learn from experience ? It appears that there is a very capable liturature teacher who is now temporally unemployed. I say temporarily, because some small college (tho bigger ones will have nothing to do with him) will undoubtedly capitalize upon this tre-. mondous potentiu ) . Will this man be censured for the remainder of this life because of a mir.take ho had mude in his y o u t h ? Did nof Mosos also make a mistake in his y o u t h ?

T. OAKEY ARCUS ' Un til June of 1958, the admission of freshmen at BSTC was handled by the Dean of Instruction and the placemen t of seniors by t he Director of Secondary Education. Because of the tremendous growth and request for admission, a new department was created to handle this increase. This new department is called the Office of Admissions and Placement, with Mr. C. Stewart Edwards as director. The basic or underlying philosoph y of this office is "as personal as you make it. " The director follows a student from the time he is accepted for admission, throug h his college car eer, graduation , and t h en tf>nrhincr ADMISSIONS : The purpose of the Admissions Department is to supply materials and information for future students. When a student has been selected as a possible candidate for admission, he usually has two interviews, one with the Director of Admissions and another with one of the social deans. After the interview, the student is then given exams by Dr. E. Paul Wagner. The final selection is made on the basis of his high school academic record, the recommendation of his high school principal, test scores made on entrance exams, and the personal interviews. PLACEMENT : The Placement Department enters the picture after the studen t has successfully completed his academic work and is doing his student teaching. During practicum class, the student is asked to fill out his "credentials." These contain personal data, references, and activities at college. Several copies are made, and these may be sent upon request to a student's future place of employment. The Placement Bureau keeps in contact with about 1000 school districts in Pennsylvania and other neighboring states. To these dis^ tricts, it sends a brochure which contains information about each student and a letter of introduction by Mr. Edwards. If the school districts desire to hold interviews with the student, the conference room in Carver Hall is used. In this way, the school supervisors may come directly to the campus for interviews. Many seniors become alarmed about their job offers at the beginning of the semester, but they should remember that most j ob offers come into the placement office after May. Last year there were approximately 5000 j ob offers for 310 graduates. Each request for teachers is acknowledged. After the student has matriculated and obtained a job, the Department then sends him a form asking for the following information ; subjects taught, starting salary, and additional comments about his undergraduate preparation , whether he thinks it was or was not adequate. The Bureau then compiles a list of where the graduates are teaching. The list is mailed to each graduate, in order that they may keep in contact with one another if they wish. Photo Service , Inc.

The preacher walked back up in the pulpit, sung a few songs, said a long prayer, preached a two hour sermon, sung a few more songs and said a final prayer. He come down out of the pulpit, shook hands with the feller, and they walked down the aisle together.

The Music Room5 Wins First Prize l f| Organized Effort of Fire Brigade Cited by College The BSTC fire brigade has been organized to prevent fires , save lives, provide leadership during hazards, and help the fire company. The brigade is composed of thirteen handpicked young men and twentytwo young women, the women all being residents of Waller Hall. William Stevenson is the chairman of the. Brigade. These people are being trained to handle emergency situations in the event of a fire , in order to eliminate any panic that might otherwise take place. They are also in the midst of correcting the traffic in Science Hall. For the first time in the history of the school, they are working together with the town officials. October 9, a general alarm was sounded in the town of Bloomsburg. Five engines from the four fire compan- ies speeded up the Navy Hall play ground to see how quickly help could reach the college in case of an emergency. This was accomplished in three minutes. Afterwards, the firemen and the brigade went through Navy Hall, Waller Hall, Science Hall, and North Hall to become accustomed with the general layout of theio buildings. The fire extinguishers in all the buildings were inspected by the brigade chairman and Bloomsburg's assistant fire chief. Through their efforts many have been replaced and repaired. Dimes were placed in all the pay phones and students are urged to use them only in case of an emergency. New signs were designed and placed in Navy Hall. . The chairman urges everyone to be aware of the hazards that do exist.

Season a Success Playing an eight game schedule, the BSTC grJdders closed out their season with three wins. On the red ink side of the ledger are four losses and one tie. Each of the four defeats was sustained by a one touchdown margin: Shippensburg 13-6, East Stroudsburg 7-0, Millersville 20-13, and Lock Haven 14-6. The latter three games were all played on muddy fields which greatly hampered the locals highflying aerial attack. The Blairmen checked in with victories over Kings 13-6, Mansfield 13-6, and arch rival West Chester, the biggest upset in the STC conference in four seasons. Many observers feel that, regardless of the over-all seasonal record , the victory over W. Chester makes this year's gridiron outing a success. In general , this year's moleskinners displayed a fine brand of football and showed the fans a rugged , hard-hitting team , culminating in an all-out team effort in the W. Chester upset. Failure to combine a hard-running game with a fine passing attack hurt the Huskies at crucial times duiing the eight game campaign. The Huskies will be hard hit by graduation with the loss of Seniors : Orband , Panichello, Morris, Galitsky, Manko, Lockuff , Staber, Rohm, Gerber, Elinsky, and Shiflett. Local rooters point to the fine late-season display of underclassmen talent as serving notice to the anticipation of an improved record for next season . Remember November 7th ?

ISOLATION OF THE CAMPUS ... Prlncipia College "What's going on in the world ? I haven't heard any news since I' ve been back in isolation." This statement migh t be an exaggeration but it does point up a trend which sometimes appears on a college campus. This isolation comes about when affairs of the world lose proportion to our own personal affairs.
