"Amahl and Night Visitors" Open Tonight in Carver Ben Franklin Second Graders Learn French Rapidly and Naturally French students—are you having diffi culty learning French ? Shame on you. The children of Benj amin Franklin Elementary School learn French as early as the second gi uui -. The teaching is conducted on an aural-oral basis. The childre n don 't see the words, but learn by watching the teacher 's lips and by lisiening very closely. When we learned to speak English , we learned by listening, not by grammar and vocabulary lessons. This is the basic principle in the teaching of a foreign language in the elementary school —learning the speak the "nat u ral " way. This not only teaches another language, but also develops better listening habits on all levels for the child. Sounds must be heard many times for both better understanding and appreciation. Students "Think French" During a French lesson, expl anations and commands are given in French. This instills an attitude of "think French." The children can successfully count from one to one hundred in French. They know the French alph abet, the names of articles in the classroom as well as parts of the classroom, how to say their names in French, five French songs, seasons of the year, days of the week , months of the year, polite words, greetings, and m any other phrases and sentences. Last year the children presented a French Christmas program for their parents and plan another one this year. Other activities have included a P.T.A. French program for parents and French demonstrations for several college classes. May Begin Second Language This program initiated last year, has been acclaimed as highly successful, and it is felt that the children are ready to begin study a second foreign language. The need for better global understanding necessitates a knowledge of at least two languages. Bisgrove Directs P.M.

These gifts will then be given to needy children living in the vicinity of the college. Kappa Delta Pi Has Christmas Toy Dan ce Kappa Delta Pi's Christmas ToyDance, held Wednesday evening, will supply presents for area orphans and needy children. The BSC fraternity donated toys from the dance to the Salvation Army, the American Red Cross, Child Welfare , and local hospitals.

Of these 2000 tickets, 1107 were unused. For last year's series $1500 was donated by College Council to the downtown fund. Thus, each of the 893 tickets used cost $1.68. An unfavorable conclusion about BSC students could easil y be drawn from the attendance figures quoted above. We would prefer to think that the concerts were scheduled during exceptionally busy times — but not one of them was presented during a major exam or term paper period , and no all-college function is permitted on the night of a Civi c Music concert (thoug h one was conducted several weeks ago when Walter Hautzi g appeared.) We would also like to presume that the artists did not reach Bloomsburg standards — but the Serenaders, Maria Svetlova , Amparo Iturbi , and Henri Noel are recognized elsewhere as outstanding performers. Perhaps clearer thinking would reveal a lack of student interest. Why this lack of interest we do not know , but the Civic Music Series is worthwhile — and relatively inexpensive. Perhaps attendance figures will rise this year. It would be a good sign. Time for a Change It's time for a change in Maroon and Gold policy. Please note that no Letters to the Editor appear in this issue. This is a result of a decision by the Maroon and Gold staff to reduce the number of unsigned letters. We hate to see the column empty because it can be one of the most interesting and provocative sections of a college^ newspaper, but an improvement was needed in the Letters department. During the first quarter of this year we had been printing letters with names withheld by request. This practice will be continued — but only if the writer can present sound reasons wh y his name should not be attached to the letter published. The Maroon and Gold will no longer be a shield for cowardice. Thoughts Flee Heated discussions often flare up in Husky Lounge. Constructive and practical decisions are sometimes reached . However, put a pen in the radical thinker's hand and his thoughts seem suddenly to have left him. When we ask a student to write a letter to the M and G about the subject he has been discussing for the past half-hour , we usually get a repl y, "Do you think I don't want to graduate?" This is nonsense ! Please remember that BSC students are supposedly in the free-thinking atmosp here of a college. There is no penalty for logical and just criticism. The administration is not a censoring or penalizing bod y. It is as interested as students in the improvement of the school. However, the points of view are somewhat different. Administrators are usually more concerne'd with the academic life of the college, and the students discuss the social life of the institution. Trials and Tribulations Last year the Maroo n and Gold ran an open letter on the sports page about the "carry-all ," the slang term for the station wagon used to transport athletes to away games. For this letter the M and G was mildl y reprimanded in College Council. A reply from the newspaper was made , and the matter , to our knowledge, was dropped. No action was taken against Tom Gladsk y, the author of the article, or against the paper. On another occasion what should have been a letter from an officer of CGA was unfortunatel y printed as an editorial on college policy . Some of the points presented were worthwhile, but its publication as an* editorial violated fundamental journalistic practices. Soon after the issue appeared , the M and G received a memorandum cautioning against the use of the editorial columns as a "wailing wall." This situation has been corrected. Editorial comment is now reserved for members of the staff BUT space in Letters to the Editor is still open for all, CGA officers included. Two anonymous publications have, at various times , appeared on campus. With them we have no quarrel , but we no longer wish to cloak opinion with anonymity. The Maroon and Gold welcomes Letters to the Editor but does not invite unsigned and cowardly attacks.

Berman this year is only touring during the month of February ; therefore, leaving him out of the race. Another reason that it looks very unlikely that we can 't possibly get him is that he will not fly on an airplane because of some hazards that he has met in using them. The Kingston Trio will be in Australia for the month of March. These guys are definitely too big for us right now. Wh en I called their agent about them the first question he asked me was, "How big is your arena at Bloomsburg?" The Trio will not play more than three concerts a week and will not sing anywhere unless the place of appe arance seats at least 6,000 people. Their price for a two-hour performance is $7,500 plus 60% of the gate receipts. Fats Domino will be touring in the west and Louis Prima and Keely Smith are not booking at all for that month . Hampton and Ellington will be in Las Vegas that week-end. Bobby Darin is not making any personal appearances as far as we know until he settles down with his new wife, Sandra Dee. Johnny Mathis is using that month for recording and rest. Harry Belafonte is not sure if he wants to lengthen his touring time, and he is definit ely out of the question financially. Lloyd Price and his gang will be touring the New England coast that month. Mort Sahl is booked up until September, 1961. Stan Kenton hasn't made up his mind as to what area of the country he wants to tour. The best offers will decide this. The Voice Too Much ! Frank Sin a tr a 's pri ce i s $35 ,000 plus Nelson Riddle 's O rchestra or Billy M ay 's big band (no comment.) Ella Fitzgerald will be in Norman Grantz 's Jazz at the Philharmonic Tour throughout February and March. There are many others that just, fall under the category "BOOKED." I hope that this pen session of mine gave you some info on why we can't get ju st every body to come to BSC. Cool it till next year.

At a recent interview, t h e h ead of t h e r esearc h team , Dr. Adolf von Auchinschloss, stated that the faculty is tremendously interested in the activities of their students in the Lounge. Some faculty members were reported to be somewhat disturbed about the fact that their students prefer staying in "that smokey old lounge " rather than going to classes. Dr. Auchinschloss assured those professors that he would find the answer to this question. Although the study is far from being complete, Dr. Auchinschloss feels that he has uncovered some significant traits of the students who frequent the lounge.

John is a 21 year old senior from Bristol, Pennsylvania, and is enrolled in the secondary curriculum. He will be student teaching at Bloomsburg High School next semester. This was John 's fourth and best year on the varsity team. He averaged well over six yards a carry, scoring six touchdowns for the year. His brilliant running forced the opponent defense to adjust to the Husky style of ball. Coach Blair , in fact, even devised a special play, "The Joh n son Jolter," to take advantage of Johnny 's talents. John says his greatest thrill in football was something that ' happened back in his freshman year. Playing against California, Pa., John entered the game in its waning moments. He took a handdff on his own 30 and raced 70 yards for a touchdown. It was a beautiful run but, unfortunately, an infraction was committed and the play was nullified. J. J. lists as his favorites jazz of any kind, sports events, and turkey sandwiches. His pet peeve is East Stroudsburg officiating. John hopes to land a teaching posi t ion i n or arou nd Bristol . At the present , h e has no intentions of coaching and plans to devote himself entirely to his job . Bob Christina, 5' 10" , 185 lbs., sophomore centar, has been chosen as the outstanding lineman of the year by the Sports Staff of the Maroon ami Gold. Bob attended West Hazleton High School where he played three years of Varsity football. Upon graduation he enlisted in the Army. After nine months of active duty, Bob was sent to an Army prep school where he received a Regular Army appointment to West Point. Bob played football with the West Point plebes for about two weeks when a dislocated shoulder forced Secretaries and You ( Continued from page 2) rage, gr ades , absence in case of an emergency, and aid with problems of veterans and rehabilitation. Just what should you do when you have been appointed chairman of a dance, or your organization wants to hold a meeting? The first step in this case had better be a visit to Mr. Gorey 's office. Here Mary Haggerty will assist you with such all-important things as food and punch orders, prop erties an d bleachers, and reservation of meetine rooms. Placement Office As we reach that far off star of teaching where will we be a steady visitor ? Mr. Edward's office most likely, and here Margaret Pooly will aid us in placement, credentials, j ob openings and information on schools, With all this aid offered, there is only one major complaint; students do not make appointments. The proper procedure in this case is to make an appointment with the secretary at least one day in advance of your visit to tho dean or college official. him out nf a f t i n n Bob came to us in January of 1959. As a freshman he gained the reputation of an outstanding linebacker and the spark plug of the Bloomsburg defense. This year Bob again spearheaded the Husky defense and did an outstanding job of blocking from his offensive center position. Bob is maj oring in English and has a social studies minor. He is a members of the Vets club, played one year of varsity baseball and is at present manager of the swimming team. After graduation Bob would like to seek a teaching position where he may also coach football.

The Huskies started strong with a team total of 857 which gave them a 42 pin-edge in the match , but after losing the second game by 33 pins the Huskies' lead was cut to a meager 9 pins. Led by Dale Gardner's 211, the Huskies came back with an 871 in the final game to put the match on ice. Bill Russell was high man for the Husky king pins with a three game tot al of 566, Henry Chriswell was second with a 546 total. This was the third in a series of matches sponsored by the Bloomsburg Intramural Bowling League.

In order to keep things in step with this annual custom, I am including our list of things which we would like to see the benevolent "old soul" drop off at BSC. 1. A "Training Table." for the Athletes. I know that this is an "old sore" around campus and that steps have been taken to make this comfort a reality , but before I graduate in 1963, 1 would like to see the athletes have more than five minutes to shave, shower , dress , and get to dinner. (On e fellow complained to me that he lost more weight making the dash from Centennial Gym to the dining hall than he did all week wrestling. ) 2. Continued Support of the Student Body. I know Coach Blair expresses his sincere thanks to the entire study body this year for their fine support of both home and away games. I also believe that figures will show that this year 's attendance was far better than last year's. The idea now is to continue this support and recognition of your teams in the fut ure. 8. Recognition to the All-Conference Selectees. Our congratulations go out to Bob Warren , Moses Scott , Jimmy Conrad, Ed Cocco and John Sills for being selected to thi s year 's All-Conference list. The fact that five of our Huskies made the list lends further evidence to the fact that we had a team that played as a unit and each and every individual did his j ob well. I think the fact that we have these fellows on campus should at lpast hp arknnwl prlcrprt in asspmhlv (if in no othf>r wavl 4. Good Marks for Moses Scott. We would sincerely like to see that fellow wearing a Husky uniform next season. We would like the Phi Sigma Pi tutoring service to look into this case. 5. Some new ends for Coach Blair. Maybe you don't realize it, but we are graduating five of our seven varsity ends in June. The coaching staff will probably be bringing up a couple from the J. V.'s, but unless someone grows a little, this only gives us four for next year 's squad. There are a few other things the coaches would probably like tc have: for instance, Tom Little would like a few more swimmers of the Don Young caliber; Coach Foster probably wouldn't be perturbed if he were given a couple of agile 6 ft. 6 in. forwards; and Coach Houk would love to find another wrestler of the Gary Allen caliber. I realize that we are making great demands of "Santa," but I believe in "shooting for the moon "— "that way you can't overshoot your mark."
