The Cherr y Orc hard to Be Presented

Announce Cast In Russian Comedy
Now Under Preparation by Players

The Bloomsburg Players will
present Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard on February 13 and 14
in Carver Hall. Written in 1903,
The Cherry Orchard has remained
one of the most popular of his
plays ever since.

Donna Seigfried as Dunyasha is
a young maid who fancies herself

remembered for her performance

She also acts as publicity crew
chief for the club.
Technical Work
For this second production of the
season , the technical work is under the supervision of Mr. Robert
Richey. Business and publicity will
be directed by Mr. Michael McHale. Various crews have already
begun work to prepare an effective
setting for the Russian play.

Growth Evident in Various Facets of Campus Life

Increases in enrollment, faculty,
and non-instructional personnel,
new construction, improvement
and additions to present facilities,
completion of architect's plans for
new buildings, purchase of equipment for instructional personnel,
increased alumni activity, and expansion of curriculum have been
some of the highlights of the 196364 school term to date. These
m a ny aspects of growth for
Bloomsburg State College are evident of the foresight in planning of
President Harvey A. Andruss, administrative personnel, and the
Board of Trustees.
fixpan&ion Evident
The Fall college term opened
with a student enrollment 2,167,
133 faculty members, and 104 noninstructional employees. The student enrollment represents a 300%
increase over the enrollment of ten
years ago; the faculty, a 150% increase for the same period. Students, faculty, and college employees represent a sizeable contribution to the economy to' the town of
Bloomsburg. For the fifth consecutive year, the college expects to
bring nearly $2,000,000 into this
area in terms of salaries and wages
and money spent .by students, Additional sums spent by parents and
visitors, by the Husky Lounge and
Snack Bar, by the College Commons, toy student organizations
and activities, and all contracts
for supplies and repairs will raise
the total to more than $2,500,000.

Change in Policy
Upcoming Events

The Dean of Instruction 's Office
has released several announcements c o n c e r n i n g schedule
changes, final examinations, and
commencement convocation.
Student Schedule Changes: In
order to reduce the number of student requests for schedule changes,
which are anticipated at the beginning of the second semester, the
following policy will be in effect:
1. All requests to drop a course
(or to change instructors in the
same course) must be approved by
the instructor, departmental chairman , divisional director, and dean
of instruction.
2. A student will not be permitted to add a course or to replace
the course dropped.
In other words, a student will
be permitted to drop a course, but
he will have to carry a reduced
load as a consequence of his decision. The Schedule Change Fee of
$2 willr be charged for the privilege of dropping the course.
If a student wishes to odd a
course to his class schedule, which
has already been approved, he
must secure a petition from his divisional director (or the dean of
Instruction), and follow the procedures outlined.
Final Examination Policy : Each
faculty member will be expected
to scrutinize his final examination

policy for scheduling examina-

degree will be conferred on 100
students by Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President of the College.
A native of Long Eaton, England , Dr. Walker received his
Bachelor of Science degree from
Harvard University in 1932, his
Master of Science degree in Business Administration from Harvard
in 1933, and his Doctoral in Engineering from Harvard in 1935.
'Dr. Walker has been in education for the past thirty years. He
began his career as an instructor
in mathematics followed by an assistant professorship of electrical
engineering.
ur. walker joined the Pennsylvania State University as Department Director of Electrical Engineering in 1945 and simultaneously
was director of the Ordinance Research Laboratory. In 1951, he was
made Dean of the College of Engineering in Architecture. He was
appointed vice president of the
University in 1956, and shortly
thereafter, became president of
the Pennsylvania State University.
The activities for Graduation
next Tuesday will include:
10:00 am: Senior Class Meeting
for all Seniors in gym. Attendance
compulsory for all seniors.
Rehearsal for graduating seniors
and class officers immediately following Class Meeting in gym. All
graduates and class officers must

1:30 pm: Assembly for robing
NO LATER THAN 1:30 pm in Sutliff Hall. In the event of inclement
weather, graduates will assemble

tions. If each staff member will
schedule the examination for his
course within the framework of
the present policy, students should
have no reason to complain of
having an excessive number of
tests in one day. But under |th^s
new policy it is possible for a student to have an excess of tests due
to the arrangement of his schedule.
Commencement Con vocation:
Plans have been completed for the
Mid-Winter Commencement Convocation . The exercises will be
held in the Centennial Gymnasium
on Tuesday, January 21, beginning
at two o'clock. In order that faculty may have time to prepare for
the academic procession, all one

Notable achievement lias been made during the last .years in /the area
of "scheduling." However," there always seems to be at least one bug in
the system each time. Every time this magic event takes place it seems
that there is something new in 'the process. And this is good, in most
instances. '
!
Problemand Solution
The objection occurs when the announced plan is not followed, The
particular objection in questions is that of not adhering to the announced
times for each class to schedule. For instance, many junior s and sophomores were permittedto schedule Monday morning which was specifically
reserved to seniors. The same thing happened to each of the other classes
except, of course, the freshmen, and why should they care 'anyway, most
of them had scheduled with the sophomores.
In the minds of most of the students there was a-solution to the
problem: The first thing that each student has to do is to pick up his
"official IBM card." This card could be used to control who is to schedule
and who isn't. When seniors are to schedule, only hand out senior cards,
When j uniors are to schedule only hand out j unior cards and for those
who couldn't make it, senior cards. When sophomores are to schedule
only hand out sophomore cards, and junior and senior cards for those
who couldn't make the regular time because of classes, etc. This same
^ for the freshman.
process should'be followed
•
Saving; Time
Now it doesn't seem like the process would become too complicated
if this procedure were adhered to. The administration, supposedly allowed students to schedule this way to save time. However, recalling
the scheduling process of three years ago, it took a week for the whole
school to complete scheduling. Now it takes only two days and with an
increased enrollment.
It is hard enough for a senior with only one semester to go sometimes
to get the courses he needs. Let's not make it harder by allowing some
underclassmen to take courses that he will have another chance to take.

After defeating Millersville, but
failing to West Chester and Edinboro State College in pre-holiday
gam es, the Hu skies, under coach
Bob Nort on , have come back from
vacation to drop both Kutztown
and East Stroudsburg State Colleges in league games.
On December 11, the locals
moved to West Chester and came
out on the short end of a 76-62 ball
game for their only league loss, so
far this year. Trailing by only
three points early in the second
half , the BSC cagers were hurt
when Ed Beck, 8'5" center from
Philadelphia, was forced to leave
the game because of inj ury. West
Chester had little trouble moving
from this point and went on to win
by a 14 point margin. Bob Herzig
was high for Bloom with his 20
noints.
Face Millersville
Returning home two days later
on the 13th to face the Gold and
Black from Millersville, the Huskies came out on top by the score
of 73-60. Millersville stayed hot on
the tracks of the home squad until
BSC came to life, under Bob Farina, late in the game. Farina was
high man with 20 points, while Ed
Beck followed with 13.
Then on December 16, Coach
Norton's squad moved to Edinboro

and led 44-30 at the half. Gene
Miller was high for the Huskies
with 16 points as Bloom put five
players in double figures.
After Holidays
Coming back from the holiday,
the locals moved to Kutztown
State College to take on a topranked Kutztown five. After trailing 28-27 at halftime, a hot-shooting BSC five rolled out in front to
win 66-53. Ed Beck was high with
his 19 points and 15 rebounds. Bob
Herzig followed with 12 points and
20 rebounds. This was the Huskies
5th win against 2 losses in regular
season play, and their 4th* win
against 1 loss in league competition.
Moving back to CentennialGymnasium last Saturday, the Huskies
downed the Red Raiders of East
Stroudsburg in a key PSCAC victory, 67-53. This win keeps Bloom
in a conference tie with Mansfield
State, last year's league champions. Bob Herzig, playing his best
game of the year, looked tremendous as he broke the school record
for rebounds with 30. He was also
top scorer with 21 points. Ed Beck
followed with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Bob Farina also hit double
figures with 14 points. Defensive
ace, Jim McKrnley failed to see action due to an ankle injury.
Tomorrow night at Centennial

nearly breaking a new PSAC record of 35.
Bob Farina established a PSCAC
record for foul shooting by going

J ackson-Discusses
Crisis in Panama

Ed. Note : The fo llowing is a commentary on the Panama situation from
Mr. Charles J ackson of the BSC History Department.
In November, 1956, the Israeli

government army raced across the
Sinai Peninsula supported by the
British and French governments
in an attempt to seize the Suez
Canal. The Egyptian government"
army successfully resisted the attempt supported by the governments of the United States and the
Soviet Union. Subsequently, the
EffVDtian government nationalized
the Suez Canal by buying out or
paying off the private investors,
principally French and British,
and has used the accruing profits
in a large part to finance the Aswan High Dam project.
The significance of the United
States position in this matter was
not lost on the Panama government. The principal difference is
that the Panama Canal is owned
and operated by the government,
not a private corporation. The
Canal Zone is not governed by the
Panama Canal Company but by a
United States Military Governor.
Ever since the Suez incident,
the Panamanian government has
pressed increasing demands on the
Canal Zone: first that the Panama
flag be flown in addition to the
United States flag, then that they
be on poles of equal height, then
that the Panama flag be on a higher pole. These rather minor incidents finally culminated in last
week's riots.
The Panama Canal has shown a
profit every.year since it opened.
A second set of locks have been
built and paid for. Certainly this
presents an attractive prospect to
Panama of either nationalizing or
expropriating the Canal because
not only would no tax system be
needed; but also, with the increased wealth, Panama would become a strong nation in relation to
its geographic and demographic
size. In addition to its commercial
manifestation the Canal also has
long held strategic military ramav *.

concepts.
Possibly Panama hopes to sway
regional and world public opinion
against United States ownership
and control of the Canal and the
Zone in the Organization of American States and the United NUtions. Alternate routes through
Nicaragua and Guatemala have
long been contemplated but unfortunately not pursued. That
would have shortened distances \n
many instances and would have reduced our reliance on the Canal.
