"Unless we keep the ladder of success open .. . the future of this

countr y is very dark." This was the key to Dr. Harvey A. Andruss'

address at the combined assembly of students and faculty of BSTC on
December 1, 1959. Dr. Andruss pointed out proposals and changes
which will affect State Teachers Colleges.

a great step forward. In Pennsylvania there is a need for a new

FROM THE OFFICE
OF . .

DEAN OF INSTRUCTION

The schedule of elective offerings
has been distributed to students in
the Elementary, Secondary, and
Special Education fields. Among
the new courses offered are Play
Direction, American Literat u re,
St at istics , Twentieth C e n t u r y
World History, and Industrial Rel a tio n s. Of interest to the Special
Ed. students will be two new
courses called Articulation Disorders in Public Schools and The
Anatomy of Speech and Hearing
Mechanism. There will also be an
opportunity for all students to take
beginning courses in French and
Spanish. The more advanced students will be sectioned separately.
Tentative class schedules will be
prepared for students on the basis
ol' their elective choices during the
holid ay recess and will be available following their return to college .
Miss Mettler has been granted a
leaves of absence lor the second
semester by the Board of Trustees.
Her teaching assignments will be
given to a new member of the faculty to be named at a later date.
Dean Hoch has made a preliminary survey of freshmen who were
interested in the Russian and German languages. A sufficient number indicated that they would be
interested in instruction in these
courses. An effort to meet the demand for these courses will be
made by the ca) lcgc in 1960 and
1961.
There has been an increase in the
number of inquiries in regard to a
proposed course of study in Earth
Science. A faculty c o m m i t t e e
headed by Dr. Serff is working on
a program of study in this area.
Two of the required courses for this

Probes Two-Year Program
Dr. Andruss brought to our attention many questions that are
still to be answered concerning the
fut ure of State Teachers Colleges.
One of the most important of these
is whether the colleges will offer a
two year curriculum as either a
community college or a junior college as well as teacher training.
Under the two year terminal program three groups of students
would form : those whose education
would be terminated after the two
yea rs , those who would complete
their education at other institutions and the group who would remain at the colleges for two additional years in teacher training.
A question which Dr. Andruss
proposed may prove very important to many of us: Will there be a
movement towards a 5th year of
schooling ? In the near future it is
probable that after four years at a
State Teachers College, graduates
would receive a provisional certificate containing a clause which would
require a fifth year of study to
make the certificate permanent .
Dr. Andruss also reviewed proposals to change State Teachers
Colleges presently engaged exclusively in teacher education , to liberal arts colleges.

its final
ance of the annual Christmas concert in Carver auditorium. The choral group, under the direction of
Mr. Carlson, has selected songs
from a number of countries and
periods, a total time span from the
15th century up to the present day .
A series of carols illustrating the
events of Christ' s birth will be sung
by the entire choir to open the program. The time clock will then
move up to the 20th century as a
small group renders its interpretation of "White Christmas," and a
soprano soloist . Donna Lore, sings
"Silver Bells." The choir, also in
the modern spirit , will vocalize "It' s
Beginning To Look a Lot Like
Christmas" for the audience.
The student body will be asked to
j oin in the singing of some of the
tradition al carols , and the program
will conclude with Handel' s "Hallelujah Chorus." The concert was
designed to appeal to the interests
of everyone.
On Monday, December 14, at
1p.m., the chorus will give a concert at the Benj amin Franklin
Training School for the benefit of
the students and f aculty there.

Student Body Enjoys
Annual Christmas Tea

The annual all-college Christmas
tea was held Sunday afternoon ,
December 13, in the Waller Hall
Lobby. Refreshments were served ,
under the direction of the Social
Recreation and Hospitality committees , to the student body and
guests.
The hi-fi set provided background
music. Also adding to the spirit of
the occasion was the beautifully
decorated tree.

Advance Registration

Advanced registration for the
second semester will be held
January 18, 10, and 20, 1960. Students are permitted to pay fees
in advance and will also receive a copy of their cluas schedules.
It will not be necessary for
students who register on one of
the above dates to return to the

Washington, D.C. (IJP . ) — Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities, threatened by abolishment twice last year, had its petitioning system altered recently by
the Student Life Committee of
George Washington University.
The committee voted authority to
Its student members to nominate
candidates rather than to have the
students , themselves, petition for
membership.
In previous years, Student Life's
student members would choose
their nominations from student petitions and then present their nominations list to the faculty committee for final approval. According to
Marty Relchgut , sponsor of the alteration motion, the old petitioning
method "asks students to say they
are qualified for Who's Who and
then forces us to tell some of them
they aren't."
Terming Who's Who standards
as "very good, " he said he saw no
reason to change them. "It' s just
the means of selection that needed
to be changed. "

College Policy Defined
"Policy," defined by Webster , is "a settled course adopted and followed by a government, person, group, etc." Other definitions involve
"procedures based on material interests, worldly wisdom, prudence or
wisdom in the management of affairs."
The object of the Community Government Association is specified
in its constitution : ". .. to cooperate with the responsible authorities
in promoting personal and group responsibility in guiding and regulating the affairs and activities of all students . . ."
If one reads carefully this constitution, he will discover that Article
V defines the duty of the Association : "to elect those who shall legislate
on all matters ... which are not inconsistent with the policy of the
responsible authorities."
Article VII , in outlining the powers of the College Council, states
(Section 1) that one of its duties is to ". . . formulate policies for the
Association... " and ". . . to administer the approved policies of the
Association..."
College Policy, therefore , is any settled course adopted and followed by College Council (Approval by the President of the College
is required by Article V, Section 2, of the Constitution of the Association). In other words, any decision of -the College Council, approved
by the President of the College, becomes a matter of policy.
The same is true of actions of the Board of Trustees, Administrative
Council , faculty committees, faculty-student committees. Academic
Council, or any other groups charged with responsibility for the management of student affairs. An administrative decision, under the same
procedure and definition , can also become a matter of college policy,
if it becomes a settled course adopted and followed by the administration , faculty and/or students.
Creative thinking implies the ability to produce original ideas, and
the writer of the recent editorial , "?? College Policy ?", lacks none of
this genius. However, the writer displays an amazing lack of information regarding the most elementary rule of journal ism: fairness requires
a knowledge of all the facts before expressing an opinion.
Ambiguity can easily "infiltrate our speech" unless we make an
effort to do more than mouth platitudes or serve as pliant spokesmen
for others who are far less courageous. The administration also seeks
truthfu l solutions of students problems, but these must continue to
come from the Community Government Association acting through
its constituent bodies and its elected representatives in College Council.

Carelessness Courts
Catastrophe
Tomorrow, most of the sixteen hundred BSTC students will crowd
into cars and buses and begin the trip "home for the holidays " Thousands of other college students will be doing the same. The tensions of
the tests, papers, and activities of the last few weeks will be released.
This release could well lead to a disregard for traffic laws, common
courtesy and safety rules. Carelessness courts catastrophe. Few take
time to consider the danger of rushing an amber light, ducking through
a corner stop sign , or passing without an adequate view ahead. The
Kemper Insurance Company reports that 85% of yule tide deaths result
from actions of drivers who disobey traffic laws. It is impossible to estimate how many helpless riders suffer from the irresponsibility of those
behind the wheel.
A white Christmas further increases the hazards of careless driving.
Icy, slick highways present special problems; brakes are ineffective,
visibility is usually limited, and glare is increased. Snow-covered fields
lull drivers into drowsiness and reaction time lengthens.
Last Christmas, Bloomsburg had a sobering example of these dangers.
Tom Foust, a senior elementary student from Danville, was killed in a
Christmas Eve accident which occurred on ice-covered roads between
Shamokin and Trevorton.
BSTC students have an unusual situation. Traveling in any direction
from Bloomsburg, except oil the Route 11 north and south , one encounters steep hills which normally remain uncindered for several hours
after roads become treacherous.
A few well-worn rules will serve as well as ever , during the Christmas
season. Think before you drink before you drive. A few ounces of
alcohol can double reaction time, those precious split seconds which
could save lives. Slow down on slippery roads. A car traveling on clear
roads at sixty miles per hour has the same impact potential as the same
car dropping from a five story height. Obey traffic laws. Stop for frequent rest stops if you are traveling long distances. Observe the basic
courtesies of the road. The right of way is not always the right way.
The Christmas spirit of hundreds of American families will undoubtedly be dampened in 1959 by needless tragedies. With caution and consideration , none' of these need be in the homes of BSTC students.

The OLD PHILOSOPHERS...

by DON and MO

Hasn't there been a noticeable change in the atmosphere on the
campu s in the past few days ? People actually hurrying ! Hustle and
bustle all over the place... Everyone caught in the fast pace of the preChristmas rush... Everyone doing things quickly — like the instructors ,
for instance, giving those devastating "short" tests on the spur of the
moment. (This, of course, is a defense mechanism — the instructors plan
on beating the holiday rush, so that they can spend that last week smiling, smiling, smiling — instead of having to play the role of Scrooge.) An
unwritten rule of the professional code states that the last test question
and the last "Bah! Humbug!" will occur sometime before the last three
days of classes immediately preceding the Christmas break. However,
there are still some people who maintain that no tests are scheduled for
the last week of classes because of the expected scarcity of students in
classes. Some people save Green Stamps to do their gift shopping:
BSTC studnts save their cuts — this makes for a "longer vacation. ' (I n
case this idea never occured to you — file it away for next semester.
You 're going home for Easter, you know!)
RUMOR DEPARTMENT
President Eisenhower's theme song this year is "I'll Be Home for
Christmas." Rumor among certain political factions (haven 't you always
kind of wanted to be part of a 'faction'?) has it that the President is
thinking of entering the movies after his current term in office. His
plans include a re-make of "Around the World in Eighty Days," and
this is actually a search for locations. Another rumor of the political
variety : a special senate sub-committee has been set up to investigate
possible rigging of "Letters to Santa." It is feared that some children
are being given unauthorized parental aid in writing to the j olly gentleman. Possible outcome: it may be tougher this year for Saint Nick to
secure a visa — seems immigration authorities have, heretofore, looked
the other way as he made it down here from the North Pole. There's
been nothing like it since the early day s of the Cold War when petitions
were circulated to make Santa Claus give up his red suit.
One dedicated , elementary student teacher has suggested a gift for
children of that age level — a plastic bag full of cranberries. (Well , it
might help solve the overcrowded condition of our schools!)
SOCIAL W RECK COMMITTEE
The topic of conversation all over town : movies — or no movies, de^ponding on the way you look at it. The closing of the local theaters
should be beneficial to parents who are looking for ways to cut down
on the expense of securing a higher education (at BSTC) for their offspring. It has been suggested that the Social Rec. Committee hire buses,
once a week, to transport students to Danville or Berwick to enj oy the
flicks. (Way back in the twenties, we tried to tell you that those newfangled , talking pictures wouldn't last!) In the words of Samuel Goldwyn : Movies are better than ever!
A recent poll (again??? ) of the campus community reveals that
students have finally figured out what professional attire is and ain't.
Everyone Is excited about the newly-discovered knowledge, and the
students are eager to impart their knowledge to the faculty. Some
(wanting to see at least one of our faculty expand his wardrobe) have
gone so far as to make arrangements with Santa Claus to deliver new
blazers for everybodyl

port to Mr vanucci for information on Slater 's "enforced"
diet . Terry Engleman, TC distance champ, participating in his first
marathon, placed eleventh in the nine and one-third mile Berwick Marathon on Thanksgiving Day. His time was only three and one-half minutes off the winning time. Congrats, Terry, on a fine performance
against some of the top distance men in the country.
We j ust received word that Cheyney STC downed Montclair STC
(N.J. ) as they rolled to their third victory, in each of which th eyVe hit
the century mark.
We hear that there are plans being made to use the North Hall fire
escape for a ski ju mp the next time* it snows. From the looks of it, some
of the men are doing OK in the slip and slide department without skiis.
Rumor has it that some of the Husky basketeers may take to the
boxing ring after such impressive exhibitions in the last hoop game.
ATTENTION: Will the person who "borrowed" Beau Hutteman's red
swim trunks from the Centennial Gym locker room please return them ?
He's been forced to borrow a pair of Mr. Shelly 's and they sort of hinder
his progress thru the water .
Congratulations to Mr. Houk for making the trip and return to West
Point without incident.
At present, three teams are involved in the rush for the shower room
at 5:30. The swimming team has elbowed its way into the melee under
the fourteen showers with the result that Flip Houser hasn't been able
to take a shower in the last two weeks.
Coach Heilman had originally planned to use the puddles in the Navy
Hall parking lot (they do get rather deep, you know ) for swimming
practice but since they are now frozen over, it' s been decided to rent
them out for the 1960 Winter Olympics. Admission will be, believe it
or not, j ust your activities card.
Best of luck to the Shellymen tonite as they journey to Cheyney.
Let's make it two in a row!
Here's wishing you all a very Cool Yule and a real Frantic First.

Wrestlers Defeat Army
In their first match of the season,
the Husky Frosh. and JV teams
journeyed to West Point where
they smashed the Army Plebes,
29-5 and downed the Cadet j ayvees, 21-16.
The Frosh had complete control
throughout the bout as they racked
up three pins, four decisions and a
draw.
Finding the going somewhat
tou gher , the Husky j ay-vees, behind 16-10 going into the final three
bouts, rallied to come through in
championship style with a pin and
two decisions to sweep the afternoon for Bloom. The grunt and
groaners registered three pins and
two decisions in the match.
The Army, impressed by the
strength of Coach Houk's aggregation, learned that a name and prestige was not enough to defeat the
inspired state teachers group.
To coincide with the athletic expansion underway at BSTC, the
Frosh, for the first time, will have
their own schedule of meets this
year.

The room, was silent ; filled with I
that exasperating air of expenctancy which usually precedes The
Great Almost or The Near-Miss
Wonderful Moment or any of the
other half-realized dreams which
constitute our lives. The parishioners (for this investigation room was
really a sort of church) had assembled in anticipation of The Great
Catharsis, a purification of the
emotions which would make Charles Van Doren and Allen Freed look
like second-rate wh ipping boys.
The defendant entered; looking
much the worst for wear on this,
the last day of the investigation.
His f ace showed that pathetic flabbiness which is displayed by particularly fat people when they lose
weight too quickly. In truth , his
face had lost all trace of color;
even his usually neat beard was
ruffled. As he slouched his wrinkled
and ill fitting suit into his chair, the
congregation was aware that it was
watching a defeated man.

I
t w as the Senat or , the head of '
the committee, who broke the silence. The Great Catharsis was
about to begin. "Mr. Claus, for theI
past four days you have testified 1
before this committee concerning ;
your alleged activities in the sci
called Payola hoax. Congressmani
Ambish , will you please summarize!
the results of Mr. Claus 's testimony.
The Senator , who was a long;
winded old man , turned the microphone over to Congressman Ambish, a long winded young man
with a just-wait-until-I'm President attitude. The Congressman!
peered intently at the defendant
and the TV cameras. "Mr. Claus, is
it not true that you have admitted !
granting special favors to the boys;
and girls whose fathers gave youi
special publicity during the Yule-•
tide Season?"
The def endant nodded.
"Did you or did you not pay off
that newspaper editor who wrote

"—

an article beginning, 'Yes, Virginia,
there is a Santa Claus.'"
A weak "yes."

"Is it not true that you have
granted special privileges to song
writers, singers, disc j ockeys, and
others concerned who have given
attention to such songs as "Here
Comes Santa Claus ," "Santa Claus
is Coming to Town," and "Jolly Old
Saint Nicholas?"
"Yes."
"Will you admit th at the question, 'Have you been a good little
boy?' has a pre-ordained answer;
that it is rigged?"
Another nod.
"Is it also true that in the year
1929 you took money from The
Elves Union Welfare Fund in order
to buy toys?"

annual Christmas dorm party held
Sunda y, December 13, in Husk y
Lounge . Jud y Goss was the General Chairman of the affair. The entertainment, under the direction of
Carol Mazza, was based on a comic
portrayal of Waller Hall life—the
night before Christmas.
The successful program included
—group carol singing, a Christmas
reading by Mary Frances Downey,
a tap dance by Bernadine Ardiene,
and a Christmas sons by Rita Batteon.
Previou sly, the Waller Hallers
had taken part in a week of Christmas Spiriting. Each girl left a small
gift at the door of another whom
she had chosen at random. Not
knowing who their "spirits " were
during the week, the girls returned
to the "smokers " after the party
and finally met their "spirit. " At
th at time gifts were exchanged.

Next came a young man bedecked in his formal after five attire.
Under his camel coat, Icould see
the midnight blue trousers and
j acket. His darkly printed silk
scarf tucked loosely into the coat
framed the snowy white tucked
shirt and black silk tie.
Lastly came the casually clad fellow. Dark grey and black plaid
slacks, scarlet blazer, black vest,
tab-collared shirt, and challis tie
rounded out this man 's attractive
attire.
Now I don't know who was more

the three young men, but there
they were — six spectacular specimens.

A blubbering yes.
"Mr. Claus, you should be
ashamed of yourself. There is nothing we can do but point a finger at
you. The rest is up to the people."
The people were in such a state
of cathartic ecstasy that they failed
to hear the defendant's sobbing
speech . "I' m really very sorry. I
didn't know I was doing wrong. I
was only trying to do what was
right for the kiddies. "
He had completely lost control of
himself. The Senator approached
his chair and giving him a political
pat on the back exclaimed: "There ,
there. We all do wrong at times. I
think you should be commended
for telling the truth. "
The catharsis had reached its
peak. The congregation burst out in
an uproarious applause; their hypocritical souls purging in the salt of
another 's guilt.
A little old man sat in the back
row screaming as loudly as he
could; "Stop, you fools ! Don 't you
see we're all liars. Don't you see
that all life is rigged. That' s why
we get pleasure from this."
Because of the applause, no one
heard him.
