Student Donators Top BSC Record .Because rssu stuaenis aonatea io this year's Bloodmobile, Bloomsburg is once again in the first priority rating. Bloomsburg broke its previous record of 186 pints by the 1961 donation of 188 pints. Last year only 174 pints were donated. Batty Scaife, chairman of the Bloodmobile Committee wishes to thank all those who gave blood and those who wished to do so, but for various reasons were turned down, for their cooperation. Any students who were unable to participate in this visit of the Bloodmobile are urged to give blood in the sprin g when the Bloodmobile will be at the Elks Club in Bloomsburg.

' Grapplers End Season Undefeated SPORTS SHdTS Courtmen Now 8-4 Swimmers Downed As They Win 73-5 7 The "new-look" Husky basketeers brought their over-all record to eight wins-four losses with triumphs over Kutztown State College (78-66 ) and East Stroudsburg State College (73-57). Before the East Stroudsburg game, the Huskies were in third place in league play, hot on the heels of second place West Chester, which was trampled by Mansfield . The East Stroudsburg game was close until the final three minutes of action. The play became so heated in the first half that a little fisticuffs broke out under the backboard, but it was hastily broken up by both coaches and the referees. The see-saw battle saw E a s t Stroudsburg walk off at halftime with a 27-25 lead. Lloyd Starts Drive The second half started out the same way until, with sbc minu tes rema in ing and t he Warri ors from East Stroudsburg leading 48-45, Dick "Dino" Lloyd hit a lay-up and a jumper to put us into the lead 49-48, then Freshman Fran Curn swished two jumpers to put us into a 53-48 lead—a lead we never relinquished. Gary Rupert turned in another one of his exciting, allaround performances, scoring 25 points and handing off innumerable assists, Lloyd contributed 19 points and Flip Houser added 14. J.V.s Lose To East Stroudsburg1 The J.V. shooters defeated Kutztown S.C. but lost to East Stroudsburg after blowing a big lead. The J.V.ers were scoreless for about three minutes late in the second half. East Stroudsburg kept picking away and finally went ahead in the final minute of play. Jeff Garrison sank a three-quarter count set shot at the buzzer, but it wasn't enough as the score showed, East Stroudsburg 65-Bloom 63. The Huskies have four games remaining including the final home game of the season against Cheyney, Monday, February 27. That The COMMUTERS 55-40 by Lock Haven ^^^^^^^(^^BiBMBMMMi^^^^^^^^^^S^^^B^^^^^^p^^^ v °, .¦4v ''^^^^HI^^^V^^^HMHHii^HHHBI Matmen Await State Tourney It was a night of decisions for the Husky., grapplers as they faced arch-rival West Chester before another capacity crowd at Centennial Gymnasium last week. The Huskies dominated the match as they shut out the Golden Rams 240, winning every weight class by decision. The team , incidentally, went into the contest without the services of regulars, Hughes, Gorant, Sarin elli , and St eu mpfli . But Coach Houk went to his reserves and got outstanding performances from four promoted J.V.'s, pointing ou t once again t h e trem endou s strength and depth of this year 's team. Meletski Wins His Second Joel Mele t ski, Hughes's replacement , gained his second win in as many §trts as a Varsity performer, downing his man 4-1. Joel shows great promise for the future, considering that he is only a Freshman. B'ill Wyland, another Freshman, took over Captain Gorant's position and racked up a neat 6-2 decision for his first Varsity win. Wyland may be seeing a lot more action if Gor ant's arm trouble persists. Dick Scarese at 137 kept the ball rolling for Bloom by shutting out his man 5-0. Scarese commanded the match entirely and often seemed on the verge of showing his man the lights. Wri ght Wins Easily The .Husky swimmers, who once again showed improvement but lack of depth and experience, were defeated by the Lock Haven team, 55-40. The Huskies, who haven 't won a meet in their two years of competition , were on the brink of victory last week. They trailed by only 9 points late in the contest. The big point makers for the Huskies were ever-dependable Don Young, who won the 50 yard and 100 yard freestyle events; flashy Nelson Swart s, who swimming the backstroke and individual medley, set new pool records, and the Relay Team, which consisted of Little, Young, Swarts, and Jasper. The team will make their final outing this season against Lycoming College, who defeated them earlier in the campaign . However, the Huskies have purchased new equipment which has stepped up their training program in an attempt to break into the winning column. felter pulled out a decision in the closing seconds. The score was all even with 54 seconds remaining and the visitor on top piling up riding time . Tony freed himself for an escape and the deciding point , needing only to avoid being taken down by back-peddling. But Tony is not one to run and he went back into battle and got a take-down. Gene Dixon was his usual steady self as he gained another decision for the home forces by a 5-0 score also. Gene is one of three wrestlers undef eated at home. Poust Beats Former Victor Don Poust at 177 ra n into a real cocky boy from West Chester but the Golden Ram, undoubtedly, left for home a bit less so as Don thrice came within seconds of pinning him. This was the same boy that pinned Poust last year but Don has improved considerably since then. Bill Garson finished off the night by running the string to eight decisions by winning 5-1. Bill seem s to be gaining confidence with each match and is a much better wrestler for it. He is also undefeated at home Your next chance to see the Huskies will be in the State College Wrestling Tournament on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4. The tournament will be held at Centennial Gym and it will feature the best wrestlers in the state. Gerry "Legs" Wright clamped a powerf ul figure-four on his opponent and a pplied enough pressure th at his foe nearly exhausted himself trying to gain an escape. In fact , Wright had to help his man off at the end of their bout. The score in this one was 5-1 in favor did ? of Bloomsburg .

I Once again the Houkmen have ridden rough-shod over the opponents I in the State Conference. As the State Tourney starts they are heavy favorites to walk off with the championship. However, the Huskies are heavily laden with inj uries and some matches may be decided only by support of the local fans. Nothing is better news than to know that the gym is packed with your loyal and enthusiastic fans. Don 't miss this one — the boys will be riding high as usual. The mermen had acquired new equipment this week comparable to that won on TV's "Sea Hunt. " This is possibly one of the best things for the men as I understand that it requires much more intensive training to be able to swim properly in these suits. To be more specific, it's comparable to the basketball player who ties weights to his belt, so that when he takes them off he will be able to j ump much higher with the same effort. BA CK-STA GE FRIGHT by HAZEL HUNLEY What are celebrities made of ?.. . if you'll excuse the prepositional ending so that I may use the cliche. For this was the question uppermost, in my mind as I dashed backstage to interview Basil Rathbone. With a cub reporter's apprehension I entered backstage. I kept telling myself, "This man isn 't that much bigger than I am even though he was a football player in college!" However, I could picture myself tackling Mr. Rathbone , twisting his arm and begging him for the answers to a few questions. Then I could j ust imagine chasing him to the Magee j ust for an interview — in spike heels on the icy sidewalks or Main street. After half-convincing myself that he wou ldn't bite , I finally approached the actor who was about to give some autographs to other students. It was then that I gave myself away. Mr. Rathbone asked if anyone had a pencil. I just couldn't lie. So, with my pencil ( and who, ot her than a reporter, would be carryin g a little stub of a pencil) he signed autographs. Now somewhere I had gotten the idea th at one also had to beg an actor for an autograph. Not so. Mr. Rathbone grabbed my program befnva T onulrl an\r T rUrliVt want hie i «~r J> V* ^k ^^ ^^ b% *^£ t -J ^r + . T ^* ^4 * ^» M m f\ * ? fc^* * %J * • **fc* autograph — to say such didn't seem advisable j ust the same—and signed his name. It was right then and there that I looked straight into his blue-gray eyes and began my interview. And he must have read my inquiring mind for he said, "Oh yes, you are the interviewer." He was quite pleased that I enjoy ed his performance. He also noted that he gains great personal satisfaction in presenting poetry dramatically, to not only college students, but to many people in many places, However, he attached much value to dramatic presenta- tion in college lectures by himself and other artists, "for college dramatics should be greatly encouraged." "Amateurs don't teach amateurs!" was the*emphatic comment Mr. Rathbone made when asked about drama in the college curriculum. He does favorably reconv mend drama in the college program but adds, "It is a great pity that colleges have no professional actors to teach it." Mr. Rathbone went on to say that there is no real achievement made when amateurs teach am ateurs , just as an amateur golfer cannot give professional training to another golfer. In making this analogy he reveals his enthusiasm for sports — he also plays golf and i r i «-» r» rxV> »"» 11 *^ uaii id d V* ua ^c Pa vi laii . The latter half of "An Evening With Basil R athbone " included the works of William Shakespeare. A great part of Mr. Rathbone 's career has included his portrayals of Shakespearian characters, not to mention "hiccoughing Iago." In an apprenticeship in London , he played 53 roles in 23 of Shakespeare 's plays. Discussing the playwrite j ust before soliloquizing Macbeth and Hamlet, he gave this brief analysis, "Shakespeare has been given to us i i n xz me uicui ^ ui l u i a u v i ij we aren't to know it , but the intellectual will tell us. " The dramatist did not hesitate at all when asked about his most enjoy able role. He stated, "No other role comes comprehensibly near to th at of Hamlet." Mr. Rathbone seemed to be able to give comment to most questions asked. But to my surprise he had no real plans or roles in mind for the future. He whimsically commented that "it must come out of the air. " And so, with due thanks, I ended my interesting "Evening With Bas- « il Rathbone. " *Russia n Education Vie wed b y CARIMAR SHULTZ The hardy students and faculty members who were able to struggle through the snow-drifts to reach Science Iiall, Room 22, at 10 a.m. on the Saturday morning of the "big snow" heard Mr. Wllmer E. Shue's impressive lecture on the ftusslan Educational System. Mr. Shue, Superintendent, of Schools in Newark, Del, visited our campus to interview prospective teachers; while here, he consented to share his views on Russian Education. Ho said that the Russian six-day school weeks sound Impressive ; however, one should realize that the students attend school in two four-hour shifts dally, and that in Grades 9-11 (public education ends at Gi'ade 11) they work two days a week, In their free hours the students are sent to Young Pioneer Palaces at which they receive thorough indoctrination in Communistic ideals. Mr. Shuo supplemented his comments by showing colored slides of his tour. Those pictures emphasized the friendliness of the common people ( the educators were not received by any Russian government officials) and the well-equipped state of the schoolrooms, especially the science laboratories where models of rockets and sputniks wore conspicuous.
