members was organized in May,
1962, with Jerome Lanutl as President. At the start of the 1962 Fall
semester, it began its first service
proj ect with the aiding of freshman
registration. Since then, the local
fraternity has assisted in many activities such as: scout skill shows,
Homecoming, athletic events, Future Teacher of America programs,
distribution of oral vaccine, collection and repair of discarded toys
for needy children, and many other
events.

Facu lty to Choose
Candidates For
National Grant

Nominations for Woodrow Wilson National Fellowships are now
being made by members of the
BSC faculty, announced Dr. John
Serff, Chairman of the Social Studies Department.
Dr. Serff , who is the campus representative of the Woodrow Wilson
National Fellowship Foundation,
said that the purpose of the foundation is to attract men and women to tho profession of college
teaching. To do this, the Foundation annually awards fellowships to
1,000 prospective first-year graduate students, and honorable mention to 1,500 others. The winners
are chosen from about 10,000 candidates nominated by college faculty members in the United States
and Canada. Winners, or "Fellows," through funds granted by
the Ford Foundation, are fully
supported for one academic year of
graduate school in the United
States or Canada.
Candidates Screened
A prospective candidate must be
a college senior and nominated by
a faculty member. After nomination, the records of all candidates
are subj ected to careful screening.
Regional Committees, which do the
screening, give particular consideration to the foundation a candidate has on the undergraduate
level for pursuing graduate studies. After initial screening, about
twenty-five per cent of the candidates are interviewed. Following
this comes more screening, until
the field is narrowed down to the
winners.
Although the foundation primarily supports students in the Humanities and Social Sciences,
awards may be won by students in
the Natural Sciences.

Ho of en an ny Opens Homecoming

Lenny aria Dick proved to be the
high point of the American Hootenanny Festival presented in Centennial Gymnasium on Friday, October 11 as the kickoff of the 36th
Annual Homecoming Weekend.
They kept the audience in continual laughter with their "protest"
song on supermarkets, their j okes,
and fine folk singing.
Emcee, Logan English also kept
the show moving at a fast and
funny pace with his intermediate
jokes and songs. His "Alcoholic
Rat" and collection of short songs
were two highlights of the night.
Fomalo Talent
The serious tones of Joan Meyers
proved that beauty, brains, and talent can be combined to produce
fine entertainment. Her "Oink"
proved that she could invite comedy
and retain her sex appeal, And her

encore of the "African Labor Song "
with two of the Cottonville girls
further demonstrated the wide
range of her presentation.
The CottonvilleGirls added more
of the feminine touch to the folk
music program; and although they
classified themselves as the "tuneup trio," they characterized original folk talent.
The guitar picking of the Greenbriar Boys, who are listed as some
of the best in the nation, was f ast
and furious. This group presented
"bluegrass" music in the fine vein
of the Grand Old Opry.
The local talent of the Townsmen, stu dents who "stag for fun ,
not profit," rounded out a fine evening of singing, jokes, audience
participation, and all around fine
entertainment and a rousing opening to a grand weekend.

Nancy Rhone

Phi Sig Chooses
As Sweetheart
Jr*
Miss Nancy Rhone, a junior from

Muncy, Pa., was this year's Phi Sigina Pi Sweetheart. Nancy was
chosen on her academic and social
standing in the school. Prior to
Homecoming, the members of the
fraternity nominate the girls who
best represent the college both academically and socially. They later
select one girl from the list of candidates. The selection is based on
the girl they feel the student body
would select.
Mr. Superdock, advisor to the.
fraternity, feels that in the future
the student body will select the
queen, with Phi Sigma Pi acting as
host to her. The fraternity first originated the idea of a sweetheart
for the Homecoming events here
at BSC and each sweetheart is
presented with flowers and a gift
of appreciation by the fraternity.

Air Force Team
Talks To Sen iors

The United States Air Force Officer Selection Team will be in
Husky Lounge next Monday and

Amer , Hooten anny
Is Financial Success

The American Hootenanny Festival can be described as a definite
financial success. The gross receipts from this event are $3,272.
It must be remembered that this
is not complete profi t as several
bills are yet to be paid.

The Annual BSC Homecoming
has been its usual success judging
by the large attendance at the various activities. We may have bowed
to the West Chester Rams to the
tune of 28-0, but the weekend did
provide many activities for the enj oyment of alumni and students.
The American Hootenanny was,
as expected, a pleasurable experience. We were pleased to see also
in the Hootenanny the Townsmen
of BSC, Gordon and Jim Reed, and
Ray Kashimba.
A large crowd witnessed the parade at noon on Saturday. Music .
was provided in the procession by
the Maroon and Gold Band in the
forefront and the West Chester
All-Man Band bringing up the
rear. This was not by any previously devised plan, however, they
arrived late and were lucky to
catch the tail-end.
Dean Hoch, Acting President ot
BSC, rode at the head of the par*
ade with other college officials and
officers of the Community Government Association.
The floats depicted the West
Chester Rams at the gallows
strung up, slaughtered, served as
mutton, and barbecued. An intellectual tone was provided in the
search for the Golden Fleece and
elegies read for the death of the
Rams. There was football in the
gay nineties and optimistic predictions of victory. In the serious vein
to balance all of the slaughter, the
Senior Class stressed prospective
teaching careers. The floats were
prepared by the Freshman, Sophmore, Junior and Senior Classes,
Alpha Phi Beta, B Club, The Maroon & Gold , Sigma Alpha Eta, Varsity Club, Waller Hall, PSEA,
Vet's Club, Phi Sigma Pi , Student
Christian Association, !Day Women's Association, English Club and
PeD Club.
The "English Club Reads Elegies for the Rams" was the prizewinning entry. Girls in black were
the pall bearers of a coffin supposedly carrying dead rams.
Excellent Cooperation
A large number of individuals
participated in the Get-Together in
Centennial Gymnasium after the
game.
On Saturday Night the Esquires
of Mansfield State College provided music for the Homecoming
Dance.
Dr. Herre, Homecoming Committee Chairman, expresses his
gratitude to the administration,
faculty and students.

BSC Homecoming Successful Event

Bloomsburg State College was >the scene of another successful allcollege event. This event, of course, was the past Homecoming Weekend;
this exhibited the combined efforts of administration, faculty, and students.
OGA's Efforts
The CGA is to be commended greatly for its efforts in the presentation of the American Hootenanny Festival on Friday night. The Big
Name Entertainment Committee is congratulated not only for its efforts
in this area, but also for the enjoy able Homecoming dance.
Student Work
Under the direction of CGA, the various student,committees also contributed to the success of this weekend. The various floral displays and
posters designed by the Decoration Committee added a great deal of
color to the festivities. With its excellent organization of the Homecoming Parade, the Pep Committee helped to produce one of the biggest
Homecoming events.
Combined Work
Homecoming at BSC was a success. It was an event which required
the combined work of all members of the BSC population. Not only BSC
students, but also members of the faculty and administration helped to
welcome alumni and friends to a well-planned, well-executed HomeWeekend.

Widely Observed World Poetr y Day
Recognizes The Value of P oetry

World Poetry Day will have been observed on October 15, 1963. To
many individuals, the preceding statement is void and meaningless. For
thousands of inidviduals all over the U.S. and in 33 countries of the
world, this day has been commemorated with poetry readings, displays,
contests, radio and TV programs, etc.
Poetry in the World
What is the purpose of World Poetry Day ? Mary O'Connor, the late
founder of World Poetry Day expressed its scope very simply : "to unite
the nations of the world by the invisible ties of poetry, thereby bringing
a deeper, universal understanding of one another." Endorsed by such
countries as the U.S., Great Britain, France, India, Germany, Denmark,
and many others, WPD has done much to bring poets and poetry lovers
all over the world together in international friendships and in greater
coming Weekend.
Value of PoetryConcentric with the ideals of the World Poetry organization, the
Maroon and Gold, by instituting a "Student Poetry " column, is making
an effort to direct student interest to poetry and its undebatable value.
Despite popular opinion, poetry does have readers. Poetry is not an
enigma which can only be understood by the poet himself; neither is
poetry a trite means of literary expression, full of cliches. True poetry
is an attempt by man to express not only his own thoughts and ideas, but
also the beliefs of all mankind.
Displays and Readings
World Poetry Day was observed on Tuesday, October 15th. It is still
being commemorated in the town of Bloomsburg with World Poetry displays in the Studio Shop, Henrie's Card and Book Nook, the Bloomsburg
Library and The Morning Press and with a poetry reading by Mrs.
Eleanor Sands Smith, poetry editor of The Morning Press on WHLM.
Poetry should not be respected, however, only on Ocotber 15th; poetry is
timeless; it is the universal expression of all men at all times of the year.

"Wh at do you think about sex?"
Both men and women alike were

gave answers. This undoubtedly indicates something, but it is not the

The mysterious1 moonlight doth
ride<
like the flowery scents of the rose;
And its silvery music would hide
as a vision appears and then goes.
Each shadow, an eerie vibration
as it wrestles each movement of
wind;
The bright streaming ligh t from
the heavens
ascends as a storm on the land.
In transition abrupt as the traffic
of life
the light is blackened by time;
Each hour flies onward toward
morning
as if leisure a sin and a crime.
The light disappears as the darkness recedes
and the once silvery objects form
rust;
The beauty of moonlit night must
wait
till the end of another dusk.

Editor 's Note : The M&G staff, knows
there are many BSC students who

Letters To
The Editor
(Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's op inion
and dp not necessarily reflect the views
of the newspaper.)
(Ed. Note: Because of repetition and
in fairness to the other news that must
be p resented , I selected the most represe ntative letters received this past
week.)

Dear Editor:
As an incentive for bigger and
better floats for our Homecoming
Day Parade, we offer considerable
prize money. This money will never
replace the j oy and pride and the
personal satisfaction of winning;
nor will it ever pay a fraction of
the time, sweat, t oil , and personal
sacrifice spent in the construction
of a float. But the incentive is good
and it must remain.
I believe that there should be
some criteria for the selection of
the best entry that we might eliminate some of the unhappy feeling
of losing. Our students here at
Bloomsburg are good sports. They
would take the loss gracefully if
they could but rationalize by saying that the winning float was better than theirs; but imagine how
painful it could be if the winning
float was not even a float.
We give twenty-f ive points toward the Audio-Visual students
grade for the construction of a bulletin board. These points are incentive for doing fine work. If we
gave fuil credit fpr poor bulletin
boards, we could expect future
quality to deteriorate with time.
So, I say that we should at least
call a float a float.

Dear Editor :
Will there be a Homecoming Parade next year? What is a float
and by what standards are they
j udged? In all fairness to future
groups that build a float for Homecoming, a distinction of what a
float is and by which standards
they are judged should be defined,
A group organized by CGA should
be formed to establish the minimum requirements for a float such
as beauty, effort, originality, etc.
A suggestion Is that the floats be
judged by categories on various
aspects to be predetermined. Evaluation by means of a point system
is suggestive; the judges should bo
familiarized with these requirements.
In order to answer the question
"What is a float ," the dictionary
defines float as a platform on
wheels, bearing a display. There(Continutd on pa t13)

homecoming parade, it has been
customary for the standing groups
in our college community to place
a "float " representing their organization in the homecoming parade.
For as many years as people can
remember, there has never been
any offi cial definition of what this
term "float" has meant. When
many of us think of a float , we
think of a display of some sort being transported on some' type of
moving vehicle. The parade this
year, like the parades before it,
was judged by, what we felt to be,
very capable judges. The entries
were judged on the same criterion
by all five judges . Even though all
the entries were ju dged by the
same criterion, the main argument
this year is the fact that in com-

parison to the other entries, the
winning entry needed much less
work hours in preparation for the
parade.
Each judge was asked to pick
five floats in order of their value
to him. Each entry was given a
numerical value of 5-1 with the
judges firs t place getting 5, and
then so on down the line. The
totals for each entry were tabulated, and the highest entry was
gi ven first place. This would make
it possible for a float to receive any
firs t place choices by the individual judges, but to have thought of
as second or third by all the judges;
thus giving it the best over-all
score. As most of you can see, this
system was very democratic, but
if originality or uniqueness made
it liked , does it compare to the
amount of work needed for the
other entries ?
untortunatej y it taxes something to go wrong with something
to bring out the fact that there are
no rules governing the activity. At
the time of the writing of this letter, the C.G.A. committee members
are meeting to make sure there
are definite rules for future parades. It is very easy for someone
to say that this was too bad, but at
least we w on't let it happen next
year. I know many of you personally, and I know the many hours
that went into your floats. I also
think that many of you will realize
that none of us even realized that
this problem could exist. If there is
any blame to be directed at anyone involved, I sincerely hope that
you will not blame the judge s. I
know they were very honest, and
I know they did a very fine job. I
think you will all agree that all the
entries were very well done. I feel
that if you want to carry the matter further or you feel you want
more information about the judging or any phase of the homecoming parade, please see me personally. We can't change any results of the j udging, but we may be
able to tell you what might have
been wrong with your entry.
I know this letter won't make
many of you feel any better, but at
least you now know exactly what
happened, and if you still feel that
someone was definitely at fault,
please take your dissentions out on
me and not on the judges . As you
can see, they were only doing their
j ob, • and they did their job very
well.
Thank you again for the wonderful job you, the student body, did
in showing our school spirit to our
visitors. I sincerely hope that you
will all take this unfortunate incident in stride, and continue the fine

Tomorrow afternoon the Huskies of BSClw
li be at Mil erslvli e,
to battle the Marauders who currently have a 2 and 2 record.
Mil ersv
lli e held W est Chester
scoreless in the second1 half after
the Rams had scored 26 points in
the opener. Last weekend they
scored ah upset victory (19-14)
over Mansfield State College.
Coach Blair's Huskies are showing improvement. The defense did
a bang up j ob as the Huskies lost
a 28-0 Homecoming game to West
Chester; three of the WCSC touchdowns resulted from bad breaks.
If our offense gets rolling in high
gear, look out MillersviDe!
Offense
The Marauders use a multiple
offense featuring reverses, f ake
kicks , the old statue of liberty play,
and any tricks that Coach Katchmer can think up. Millersville is
basically a rushing team and with
the return of Bob Walls at quarterback, the Marauders will once
again field a backfielci which has
averaged five yards a try per individual the last two years.
Defense
The Marauders defensive line is
big, mobile, and strong with their
strength being the interior linemen. Standouts here are guard
Tom Densmore and tackle Ray
Critchfield. The starting line average should be around the 200 pound
mark.
Student support at the West
Chester game was excellent. Remember it is this type of support
which encourages a football team
on to victory.
