Discussion on Far East in Assembly A Gruelling Experience Advanced scheduling proved to be a rather gruelling experience asi students crowded the offices and entrances of Old North Hall and Navy Hall for hours of waiting last week. Scheduling required more than hours of this time-consuming wait because many students did not complete their schedules until after several days of approving, reapproving, adding and changing. Could not much of this unnecessary stress and I strain be eliminated ? In considering the time consumed and the hours spent in scheduling . this semester we think not just of the students involved but the lone[ faculty members who "manned" the offices to accommodate hundreds, of students. This certainly involved a great deal of pressure and work for the heads of the various departments of Secondary Education. In reviewing the scheduling system used one can see that the offices , in[ many instances, were understaffed and overcrowded. Why were there only one or two faculty members present in each department to schedule required and elective courses for a large number of students ? Choosing electives was the first step in making out a schedule before, adding required courses. Students who were getting elective and required courses approved often had to wait in the same confused line to see the same department head. The student who wished to choose elective courses was often detained in completing his schedule by waiting for others who were getting required courses approved. Students: were also detained in Navy Hall where they had to wait to receive a list of the courses that they must complete before graduation. One cannot expect a perfect system that would involve a limited number of problems. There are many details included in scheduling— time conflicts, required courses, cr edits , and elective courses. However, the long periods of waiting could be partially eliminated by having an adequate staff, better organization and more adequate space in which to work. The l«bl Edward t*. Morgan Essay Contest is now open to all undergraduate students in universities and colleges throughout the United States. This year, the subj ect of the contest will be "Youth' s Role in U. S.

Money towards the winners' tuition to post-graduate school will be contributed by stations of the ABC Radio Network , by the AFL-CIO, whi ch sponsors the weeknight "Edward P. Morgan and the News" program and by Furman, Feiner and Company, Inc., agency for the sponsor. The authors of the top prizes will be chosen from ten semi-finalists. All ten of these semi-finalists will receive complete sets of the 1962, * 24-Volume Encyclopedia Britannica.

Each contestan t may submit any number of essays with a maximum of six hundred words each. This Is what the beloved Will Rogers thought of the weekly newspaper: "Take away my ham, take away my eggs, even my chili , but leave me my newspaper. "Even if it has such a purely local news as 'Jim Jones came home last night unexpectedly and bloodshed ensued,' or \Jes Bushyhead , our local M.D., is having one of the best years in his career, practically speaking—but they j ust won't pay him when th ev tret well.' and 'election ain 't far off , and everybody is up for office that, can sign an application blank.' "Now all that don 't seem much news to you. Bu t i t is new s, especially when you know the people and they are your own folks. So, no matter how punk you think your local newspaper is, let them take it away from you for a while and see how you feel. The old newspaper, I think, is about our biggest blessing. "So let's read and be merry, for tomorrow the paper may not have enough ads to come out." NOTES and QUOTES Essay Contest Now Open To Students by SUE HALKYARD by Sue Halkyard The menace of Communism is closer than most Americans believe for the real battle begins here in the United States and not on the far-reaching parts of the world. The Communist goal has long been apparent to Americans for there has never been a shortage of information on Communism. They themselves have publicly and emphatically made it known that their strategy is directed toward one obj ective : world domination. Their methods are simple, deadly, and effective— the "cold war"—an insidious chipping away at one weak spot after another and the creation of crisis upon crisis. Witness the recent H-bomb tests culminating with the "giant bomb" which threw many nations into panic and caused more than one hasty conference in diplomatic circles. Yesterday it was the Congo, before that , Cuba and now , once again, Berlin. What will tomorrow bring? Counter-Strategy or Domination ? The most pressing problem is probably not what is in the future , but "how " can we combat this master plan of world domination and "ho w" shall the responsibility for initiating and enforcing the counterstrategy be faced ? Are we merely to continue retreating and accepting our losses to Communism ? For 15 years we have been rationalizing the se losses , conferring with our allies, appeasing and placating the Russians with mild diplomatic maneuvers and gradual withdrawing from areas of conflict. The possibility of further retreat is not infinite; this can only serve to push us into a position of figh t or be dominated. The military and diplomatic strategy should be left to experts who are presumably able to direct these areas. Our efforts, as American citizens and future teachers must be utilized in fighting Communism on the home front. This task is not the j ob of a few interested people, but the responsibility of each and every one of us. The very least we can do is to make ourselveswell-informed. This involves exposing ourselves to views and opinions and above all seeking the truth amidst these oft-confusing and contradictory interpretations. Ask yourself , "What is the John Birch Society?" Our generation has seen the ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin turn into a multi-billion dollar weapons system aimed by Moscow at every major nation of the West. We must have a full realization of global affairs.

John A. Hoch, Dean of Instruction , Bloomsburg 'State Colleg e, started the chain of events which brought him to BSC. He j oined the faculty as Assistant Professor of English in 1960. Here is a glimpse of what preceded that telephone call , and what has h appened since in the life of Mr. Savaere. Becomes Journalist, Teacher Born in Minn eapolis, Minnesota , he attended the University of Minn esot a fro m 1940 to 1942, maj oring in j ournalism. He left there to enlist in th e Navy for four years, spending part of this time on a submarine tender in the North Atlantic. Resuming his education after leaving the Navy in 1946, he entered the University of North Carolina , where he received a BA degree from that school in 1948. Next came a year at Columbia , wh er e in 1950 he received his MA. Then at Edinburgh University in Scotland, he worked for a year on his Ph.D. Returning to the United States, Mr. Savage accepted a position as P u b l i c Relations Director at Champlain College, the Liberal Arts College of the State University of New York, and worked there between 1951 and 1952. From 1952 until 1958 he taught English and j ournalism at the University of Massachusetts. During his sixyear stay at the University, he also wrote feat u re articles for are a papers such as the Springfield Union, Boston Globe, and the Amherst Journal. He worked part time on the copy desk of the Springfield Union and as a rewrite man for that paper. During summer vacations, he worked as a general assignment reporter for th e Holyoke TranEditor for the Post In 1958 Mr. Savage left the University of Massachusetts to accept a postion with the Saturday Evening Post, remaining with that magazine for two years. Then in 1960 he ret urned to teaching by j oining the English Department of thi s college. This brings us to the present time. When a sk ed why h e re t u rned to teaching, choosing Bloomsburg to do so , he gave two reasons. First, he told of his love of t he ru r al countryside. He dislikes metropolitan areas, and he feels that the country is an ideal place for children to live. (Mr. Savage is married , and has three children , the oldest of which is in the firs t grade at the Benj amin Franklin School.) Tho second reason is a genuine desire to teach English. I questioned his leaving the Post, noting that many men with the same decision to make, would not leave the glamour and excitement that such a j ob obviously offers. To this he simply replied , "Well , it is all a matter of what one values." This is u rare thing to discover in a man today, and I have never heard a more eloquent statement so slnr«nvf»1v annlfon Continues to Write Referring to one of his stories which appeared !n the Post this past summer , I was prompted to nsk if teaching allowed any time for writing creatively. He said that teaching, unlike an elght-toflve kind of job, Is more consuming, with respect to both time and tho Individual. Howovor , since he has been at Bloomsburg, he has writton three stories, the latest of which was accepted by tho Post this past Saturday. Altogether, he has had eight of his stories accepted by the Post, and , In his own words, "has had several rej ected. " His first success In writing came before the war, when a magazine In tho Midwest accepted one of Mr. Richard Savage ... " a matter of values" his stories. Incidentally, the first story that he submitted to the Post was coldly received, and it was suggested that he give up trying to write. Commends BSC Students When asked about his impression of BSC students, he maintained that students here were pretty much the same as others he has known. "Some do not have the backgro u nd , but this should not be the primary concern of the teacher. Rather it should be the willingness of the student to learn ; that should be of prime importance." He went on to say th at he thought that an encour aging number of students at Bloomsburg are sincerely and enthusiastically interested in the education process. One point he stressed was that extra-curricular activities are not way out of proportion at this college. "They have not reached the point where they are considered to be on the same level as academic activitie s. This is a healthy situation ." He realizes that extracurricular activities are a "wonderful thing." and he participated in many when he was an undergraduate. But they cease to be wonderf ul when they are emphasized to a point of distraction , making harm ful inroads on a student's time. Likes Russian Writers Mr. Savage likes to fish , and hopes to pursue this sport next spring in the several streams in this area. Another interest is Russian Literature. In his undergraduate days at the University of Minnesota , he heard a friend talking quite excitedly about Dostoevsky 's Crime and Punishment. He read t h e book , and according to Mr. Savage, "I have had a love affair with Dostoevsky ever since." His interest became so intense that he studied Russian while at Minnesota and Edinburgh , simply because he wanted to be able to read Dostoovsky in the original . Naturally enough ,"Mr. Savage is teaching a course in Russian Literature this semester. Mr. Savage has shown his com* plote and intense interest this semester while Introducing his class in Russian Literature to Tolstoy, Dovtoevsky, and other Russian writers.
