Who Is Your Ideal Man or Woman? by ELAINE CHUTE Last semester Mr. Bashore, conducting a survey in his psychology classes, asked his students to list the attributes of their Ideal Man or Women . No clues as to expected answers were given. Of the 100 students who participated, 55 were men and 45 were women . Women List Personality The women listed 83 separate items, most of which were personality factors. These most frequently mentioned were : considerate and thoughtful; warm, pleasing personality ; fond of children and animals ; ambitious ; and kind. The women listed only general physical qualities of their Ideal Man. General comments made by the women about their Ideal were: "What other woman want but I have; one who respects my intelligence; one who is capable of total love ; and one who is genuine." The men listed 120 separate ite ms , most of which were physical features. The male concepts of the Ideal Woman include : warm, pleasing personality; good looks; understanding; blonde or brown hair; sexy or relatively so; 110 to 115 pounds ; slim legs; perfect teeth; and vital statistics of 36-22-36. General male comments included: "One who treats me as though I were the only man in the world ; one who lets me be boss; and one who is warm and sensitive." The most freqently mentioned attributes, male and female, were: warm and pleasing personality, considerate and thoughtful, sense of humor, and fondness of children and animals. This survey seems to prove the old adage, "Beauty is only skin deep." Di\ Maiett a Speaks at Fr aternity Meeting The recent trip of Dr. Maietta to Gallaudet College for the *Deaf in Washington , D.C. was the feature of a recent meeting of Sigma Alpha Eta. The students heard Dr. Maietta's experiences and observations at this convention. A forum-type discussion concerning the problems of the students was also conducted at this time. Following the business meeting, Bob Anthony showed films which had been taken at this year's Christmas party for children in the Speech Clinic and those In special classes at Ben Franklin School and Sellnsgrove State School. Pictures of the hoagle stand at the Bloomsburg Fair were also seen. Basketball , Wrestling, and Swimming Stars Select-ed as BSC's Outs tariding Athlet es Gary Rupert The Maroon and Gold staff has picked Bill Garson, a vastly improved sophomore from Williamsport, Pa., as its Wrestler of the Year. Bill (or "Bull" as wrestling fans call him) had a tremendous season in lieu of last year's performance. ______ —_ 14-2-1. _ ._ _ His season— record. . _ shows how valuable he was to the wrestling team. His losses were to Weidemier of Winona (Minn.), twoyear NAIA champ, and Krist of Mankato (Minn.) , who beat Weidemier this year.

Championship. Don, who has been the backbone of our young Husky squad for the last two years, turned in another outstanding performance this season. The Husky swimmer participates in three events, the 50 and 100 yd. freestyle and the 400 yd. relay. This season he lost only four individual races and was anchor man for a highly successful relay Gary Rupert, a sophomore from Bloomsburg, Pa., has been chosen as Most Valuable Player on the 1960-61 Husky basketeers. Gary, a 5 feet 11 inch playmaker, led the team in assists with 80, averaged 13.1 points per game, and was second on the starting five in field goal and foul shooting percentage with 49 and 67 per cent respectively. Gary also had the second highest minutes-per-game total, averaging over 35 minutes of playing time every game. Gary says the game that he'll always remember is the final game of the season against Lock Haven. He scored nine points in the last overtime and 25 points for the game as he led the Huskies to a 112-103 victory over the Bald Eagles. Looking to the future, Gary sees great possibilities for next season's courtmen. He feels they can better the good season they had this year (12-4), in which they had orientated themselves to a new system Don Young under Coach Foster. After graduation, Gary said Bill is enrolled in the Special that he would like to try coaching Education curriculum.

Don is an avid fan of all types of aquatic sports; and in the summer he may be found skin diving, fishing, or buzzing around in a little speedboat. Don's interests are not only limi t ed to the w at er, he enjoys hunting and this year he is going to participate in varsity track. Don is on English major and as of yet has not chosen a minor. Upon graduation he would like to teach in either California or Alaska where he could continue his outdoor sports. Japanese Instructor Presents Views on TJLS* Humanism of West Contrasted With Oriental Tradition 1 riese are the impressions of a J apanese Fulbri ght Fellowship student in America, Toshihazu Niikura. Mr, Niikura is an instructor in the English Department at Meiji' Kakuin University Tokyo, J apan . The translatio n is by Doroth y L. Schmidt, an alumna of BSC. Miss Schmidt is a p rofessor of English and educational psychology at Meiji Kakuin University. In the summer of 1957 I went to the University of Minnesota. Until that time I had never been to the United States. The first thing that I noticed at the University was the college students dressed in clothes of their own choice leisurely sitting about on the beautifully kept campus. Even in the classrooms the undergraduates wore colorea shirts and sweaters as their ordinary dress. This expresses to me the kind of people Americans are—informal and candid. Americans seem to mature more rapidly physically enabling them to become members of society in general more quickly. For instance, the American college girls are already responsible ladles. In the case of American men students, in the realm of knowledge they are Immature but in the realm of social life they are grown-up and compared with Japanese students they are far more mature. However, there is an ill effect on these American students who are so socially conscious. To me, it seems as if they they have skipped the stage of inner searching before • they arrive at maturity. Generally speaking, Amer ican stu dents do not read books of other cultures (especially philosophical) and in this respect the Japanese are more informed about the thinking of other peoples of the world. The reason is that American students are so busy with examinations, assignments and required papers for their course. I understand that in European universities there Is no need to write papers until a designated time, but in American universities there is detailed guidance given by the professor such as is given to high school students. But even a more fundamental reason is that America n life is based on pragmatism and the enj oyment of the pleasures of this world. In spite of being over-burdened with the above mentioned papers and assignments, American students in reality seem to utilize their time to the best advantage. I lived in a dormitory and observed that students when they returned to the dorm took a hurried shower, changed their clothes, and went out on their dates. Especially on weekends those who were left in the dorm were thought to be "peculiar " individuals. In Japan , the custom is for parents or friends to choose the partner for a marriage. In America, the young people of marriageable age must choose their own partners so they are ever on the look-out for a mate. For Japanese, this would be something of an embarrassment. In America this is a natural thing for the young people to assume their own responsibility in society. Moreover, if they don't find a partner they are somewhat embarrassed, I imagine. In Japan when I attended foreign movies and saw the "love af- fairs " of Americans and Europeans Ididn 't notice anythin g different, but since I've had the actual experience of living in America, 'Ive discovered that these "love affairs " are a part of the pattern of daily life. Compared with the Japanese who express this love publicly once in two or three years or only once in a life time, I've once more come to realize the difference between the attitudes of daily living in the two countries. The contrast between the humanism of the West based on the idea of free expression of huma/i feelings and the Oriental tradition of the Japanese, that of denial of human feelings, is quite apparent. However, if this free human expression has no concern for society it will end in only satisfying the instincts and living for the pleasures of this present world. Compared with the youth of France and other countries of Europe, the present generation of Americans seem to be X m4^ am1si ** t%* 4-l*#\f* « n/tAl nl u u c L iui nti H T-xlltl/i n I in l i m i t auuiai a i m ^a.iui.4i *cii lives. The United States is so big and economically stabilized that , in reality, the average American -has little concern for the affairs of oihei foreign countries. So It seems to me that they are only interested in their own features and in their love affairs. This is not only my own . personal opinion. As proof of this, a TV program (A Generation Without Social Consciousness) at the beginning of 1959 in which the American students examined their own generation, pointed out the same thing. The title, "A Generation Without Cause" which is applied to the American students of today, seems to sum up what I've been saying. SPOICTS SiQTS by . " ¦ ' f ' ¦ ' '-' ¦ WAYN E T. MORRISSEY T,p get every student on campus engaged in intramural activities is the goal of Coach Ziegler, head of our Intramural Program. To reach this goal, activities suited to every interest and talent have been started or will be within the coming months. Mr. Ziegler is willing to start any league or tournament at any time. All he requires is interest. So far , his program has included touch-football, wrestling, basketbal l , and volleyball. Organized and ready to roll is a table-tennis tournament and a softball league. Planned for the future are such activities as archery, a swimming meet and a track meet. At the present time "sweat shirts " are being presented to the winners, but Mr. Ziegler feels that in the future , trophies could be pre sented on a one-year basis to the winning teams. He on expressed a desire compete consecutive years that wil^ organize clubs for people to " " for the coveted "cups." In this case, a group winning a cup for three straight years would be able to retire it . Without a doubt, this is a worthwhile program set up by Mr. Ziegler and should present many enjoyable hours for those participating in it. But as you can imagine, the program requires much work such as scheduling of tournaments, setting up a playing schedule and acquiring facilities for the teams to use. Mr. Ziegler would appreciate help in this respect and would appreciate those interested in organizing and planning leagues to contact him. (M en, this is your chance! Help Mr. Zeigler to help you have some fun and recreation. Don't be afraid to ask him if you can have any sport on campus. If the interest is there, chances are he'll find a way to get it.) Loo king Over The Intr amura ls by BILL GINTY The Intramural Wrestling Tourney was completed recently with 18 men competing in the finals. All Intercollegiate rules were observed except for the weigh-in where each wrestler had an allow-' ance of three pounds and the time of the periods which were only two minutes long to allow for the condition and experience of the contestants. Experience was lacking in the case of ten of the contestants, but it didn't hinder them from giving their all or from putting on a fine show. Smith at 12S . John Smith opened the program by defeating Bruce Retteor 8-4 in the 123 lb. class. That match was followed by Terry Engelman, local track star, pinning John Thomas in the 130 lb. class. John Rakish, using his 4 years experience to advantage, pinned his opponent , Evariste Vieira in the 137 lb. class, but it took an overtime period for Lynald Sillsburg to decision Dick Rohrer 1-0 in the 147 lb. division. Millw at 157 In the 157 lb. and 167 lb. classes there were pins. Ken Miller dropped Rhys Phillips and Larry Dombek downed Dale Anthony. The 177 lb. and 191 lb. classes had all inexperienced contestants but were both won by pins. Bucko Davala fell Moses Scott in the 177 lb. class and Gary Stackhouse pinned Stan Beiter in the 191. In the battle of the big boys, Gary Barnaba decisioncd favorite , Frank Sorochak, 4-1. Bob Craig, Husky wrestler, officiated . Volleyball Also Elsewhere around the intramural scene can be found the Volleyball Tourney which is in the semi-final round. The finalists include the "Big Six ", "The Frosh" , "The Studs," and "Y.M.P.A." Right after Easter the Softball Tourney will get under way with a large number of entries expected. After a preliminary survey made of the course needs for 1961-62, committee of Department heads is planning to add eleven faculty members to the staff next year, boosting the faculty to 117. An enrollment of 1900 is expected for the coming term. Matm en Finish 5th Garson , Dixon Win lnNAIA The Husky grapplers finished off this year 's campaign with a trip to Colorado and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Championships in which t h e y placed fifth in a field of thirty-five. The team made a creditable showin g, since a bare ten points separated them from champion Lock Haven. BSC secured two individual championships in the 167 pound and 191 pound weight class. The NAIA championships were won by Gene __>ixon and Bill Garson who are also PSAS champs. Looking ahead to next season , Coach Houk predicts that once again the Huskies will be back on top. Unfortunate accidents greatly hampered the team's effort this year, but its true strength should be evident next year. Swimmers Place 4th In State Meet The Husky mermen completed their season recently with a fourth place finish in the State Swimming Meets at West Chester. Leading the pack for the Huskies were Nelson Swartz, who placed fourth in the backstroke, and Don Young, who placed in both the 50 and 100 yd. freestyle events. The Relay Team comprised of Don Young, Nelson Swartz, Tom Little and Ron Jaspers also pulled a fourth and helped the locals edge out Lock Haven and Millersville^ who had defeated them in regular season competition. The winner of the meet was West Chester followed by Slippery Rock nnd East Stroudsburg. Probation Repor t Shows Decrease The probationary list that has been recently released from the Office of Dean of Instruction includes the names of 289 students. Of this number 150 students are freshmen. This represents a 45% decrease over the number of students on the first semester probation list. During the next few weeks, letters will be sent to the parents of these students, and they will meet with a faculty committee to discuss their situation.
