The recent passing of Mrs. Elsie Yorks Jones, who was a member of - the Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College from 1947 to 1959, brings to the minds of those interested in the history of the Normal School and the Literary Institute that her father , F. G. Yorks, was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Normal School, and her brother, Milton K. Yorks, was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1940 to 1947. Board Passes Resolution The Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College, at a recent meeting, passed the following Resolution relative to the service of the members of the Yorks family as Trustees: WHEREAS, the f ather and brother of the late Mrs.Elsie YorksJones served as Trustees of this institution, and WHEREAS , Mrs. Jones was a member of the Board of Trustees f rom 1942 t o 1957, during which period she was in regular attendance at all meetings, and gave of her advice and counsel to the administration, and WHEREAS , during the period of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College continuing to educate teachers during the period of World War II, along with a series of programs which trained Aviators, Nurses, and Naval Officers to aid in the winning of this war, BE IT RESOLVED that such a spirit of sacrifice of time and attention on the part of Mrs. Elsie Yorks Jones shall not go unnoticed, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution appear in copies of college publications, and also shall be sent to her surviving relatives.

Much Tampering Seen On Boards 'measure of acclaim as a soloist , Earl Wrightson aad Lois Hunt presented their evening of music from the theatre and operetta at BSC on Wednesday, April 8, at 8 pm in Carver Auditorium. This ' was the annual Endowed Artist and Lecture Fund program of BSC. Both veterans of Broadway and national tours (Miss Hunt most recently in the Rodgers and Hammerstein smash, "Sound of M u sic," and Mr. Wrightson in such hits as "New Moon"— whose recent revival had him in the starring role), they have also scored resoundings successes in stock and on tour. Notable Recordings Perhaps best known via their notable Columbia recordings, Mr. Wrightson and Miss Hunt have scored sensationally in the LP fi eld , their albums such as "A Night With Sigmund Romberg," "A Night With Jerome Kern " and the new "Kiss Me Kate" recording, selling in the hundreds of thousands. Their program offered outstanding interpretations, of music from the theatre, opere tta, and Tin Pan Alley. Honors Bestowed Former* Professor Samuel L Wilson, seventy-four, retired professor in the English Depart m ent of BSC, died April 1. He had retired nineteen years ago because of ill health. Professor Wilson was honored by the Class of 1931 during the Alumni Day festivities at BSC last May, at which time a portrait was presented to the college by many faculty and faculty emeriti. One of Greatest Teachers In the acceptance on behalf of BSC, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President , spoke of Professor Wilson as "one of the greatest teachers I have ever known" and said the portrait was presented by former students and colleagues as an expression of love for him as a man, respect for him as a teacher, and regard for him as a friend. Happiest Years at BSO In his response, the popular educator said "twenty-eight of the happiest years of my life were spent as a member of the faculty of this institution. " He said in that period he had not had one unpleasant experience with a faculty colleague or student and said, "It is a wonderful feeling now that I realize I will be looking down on incoming and outgoing classes and will view the progress of the institution." Lieutenant Govern or Shafer To Be Featured Speaker At Sprin g Commencement , May 24 Two BSC Fa culty Members Receive Nat 'LStudy Gran ts Mr. Lee C. Hopple and Mr. David A. Superdock, two BSC faculty members, have received grants from the National Science Foundation for studies applicable towards their Doctor's degree. In both instances, all expenses will be provided by the National Science Foundation. Mr. Hopple Mr. Hopple was one of twenty college professors from nationwide applicants for the eight-week course in cartography to be held this Summer at the University of Washington, Seattle. The course will cover all phases of modern cartography, allowing ten graduate credits. He is a native of Pottsville and graduated from Kutztown St ate College prior to receiving his Master of Science degree in Geography from the Pennsylvania State University in 1960. The ten credits he will receive this Summer, along with his previous graduate work at Penn Stat e, enables him to receive his Doctorate in August. Professor Superdock Assistant Professor Superdock, who has been a member of the BSC Physics Department for four years, received a Science Faculty Fellowship for studies towards his Doctorate degree in Physics. He will study for three summers at Penn State University. Selection was made on a competitive basis with approximately 2,000 applicants and 400 grants. A native of Freeland, Mr. Superdock graduated from BSC in 1954 and received his Master of Education degree from Penn State in 1960 under a previous fellowship grant from the National Science Foundation. He has also taken additional graduate work at Bucknell University. English Professors Present "H enr y IV" Mr. William Roth and Dr. Louis Thompson of the ttepartment of English presented a Shakespeare program to the AAUW Chapter of Lewistown at a meeting to honor local students who have been elected to the National Honor Society.

(Continue on pa n 2) I Liberal Arts Educ ation Important In Developing Scientific Creativit y Tht flowing « the f irst of a stria of articles on liberal education . The author is John Gaoodzinski, a Bloomsburg State College freshman. Let me first be clear about the meaning of the liberal arts and liberal education. "Hie liberal arts are traditionally intended to develop the faculties of the human mind, those powers of intelligence and imagination without which no intellectual work can be accomplished. Liberal education is not tied to certain academic subj ects, such as philosophy, history, literature, music, art , and other so-called "humanities." In the liberal-arts tradition, scientific disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, are considered equally liberal, th at is, equally able to develop the powers of the mind. r. * ' Sport Parachuting Student Poetry r^;iikteft:Tpj'TafeeJ '. • And Painting Are PIPE SMOKE Part In Festival . Co-ecFs Interests by Jennif er Smith Skydiving and painting — these are two of the interests in which Mary Lou Buck, a senior co-ed from Danville, ha s displ ayed, ability and talent. Mary Lou has successfully combined these two diverse interests with her work at BSC, where she is maj oring in Special Education. Paints As Hobby M ary Lou, a fino artist , states that she paints only to express h erself , in the same way that other people write or compose music. She considers the development of technique important , but concentrates more on the subj ective elements of the painting. The technique which Mary Lou most admires is that of the great French impressionist, Degas. Currently, her work is on exhibit in the offi ce building of Smith and Hess, architectural engineers, in Westport, Connecticut. Medieval Origin The liberal-arts tradition goes back to the medieval curriculum. It consisted of two parts. The first part, the trivium, was comprised of grammar, rh eto r ic, and logic. It taught the arts of reading, writing, listening and speaking, and of sound thinking. The other part, the quadrivium, consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music (not audible music, but music conceived as a mathematical science). It taught the arts of observation, calculation , and measurements—how to comprehend the quantitative aspect of things. Nowadays, of course, we would add many more sciences, natural and social. This is just what has been done in various modern attempts to renew liberal education. Liberal Education Essential Liberal educa tion , including all the traditional arts as well as the newer sciences, is essential for the development of top flight scientists. Without it, we can train only technicians, who cannot understand the basic principles behind the motions they perform. We can hardly e"kpect such skilled automatons to make new discoveries of any importance. A crash program of merely technical training would probably end in a "crash-up " for basic science. Scientific Creativity The conviction of liberal education with scientific creativity is not a mere speculation. It is a matter of historical fact that the great German scientists of the 19th century had a solid background in the liberal arts. They all went through a liberal education which embraced Greek, i^atin, logic, philosophy, and history, in addition to mathematics, phy sics, and other sciences. Actually, this has been the educational preparation of European scientists down to the present time. Einstein , Bohr, Fermi , and other great modern scientists were developed not by technical schooling, but by liberal education. Russian System Despite all of the rantings and hullabaloo since Sputnik I was propelled into the skies, this has been broadly true of Russian scientists too. If you will ju st note the birth dates of the men who have done the basic work in Sonet science, it will be apparent that they could not have reMary Lou Buck ceived their training under any new system of education.

Lackawanna County Lends Machines On the recent C.G.A. election, the BSC community had the opportunity of participating in a realistic voting situation. This was made possible by Lackawanna County's generous gesture of lending us four regu lation voting machines. BSC students thus had the chance to vote for Community Government officers in the same manner in which they will some day vote for local, state, and national officials.

Fred Saxton Letters T6 The Editor / (Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's opinion and do no t necessar ily reflect th e views of the newspape r.) Dear Edi tor: In the past , other letters have appeared in the MAROON AND GOLD concerning assembly con^ duct. The various complaints have ranged from talking, to let t er writing and knitting. A stricter program concerning this program has been initiated by.the assembly committee. Big Brother's Watching You! Students beware ! Numerous pairs of eyes are constantly scrutinizing the student body, watching for some kind of movement which can be called poor assembly conduct. If no subversive actions are observed, they seem to appear as mirages do—out of thin air. On M ar ch 10, several of these mirages occurred, and it was a cool rainy day, too. From this day forth , students will have to behave perfectly, like little wooden soldiers if they wish to gain credit for assembly attendance. Double Cut At the above mentioned assembly , several people unjustly lost their assembly cards. Remember fellow students, this constitutes a double assembly cut. Discipline may be needed in our assemblies, but why does the innocent bystander have to pay the penalty inflicted by an enraged assembly committee ? ( Name withheld upon request) (Continutd on pagt 3) Mr. WilliamBecker Mr. William Decker, a newcomer to the Bloomsburg State College music faculty, will take a prominent part in the coming Spring Arts Festival, April 26 to May 3. Besides making arrangements for the appearance of the well-known Curtis String Quartet, he is composing incidental music for the Players' Shakespearian production. He is also in charge of the choral program for Sunday, May 3, which will feature the Choraleers, the Madrigal Singers, and the Men's Glee Club. fine music ittacK gruuna. Mr. Decker has a background in music which speaks for his role in the Festival. A native of New Kensington, P enna ., he received his degrees at the Eastman School of M u sic, Rochester, New York. Before j oining the BSC faculty, he taught two years in the public schools of Rochester and four years at Wharton Junior College, Texas. At the latter school, he tells us the credit course in choir made excellent voice groups constantly available. Mr. Decker has been directing choral groups for six years. To Direct Choral Program Mr. Decker's musical role in The Taming Of The Shrew, April 28th and 29t h , consists of working with Mr. McHale and the Bloomsburg Players "to add to the drama and achieve an original interpretation of the play." Later in the week, he will direct a choral program of sacred music. This two-part program will feature Bach, Brahms, and other great composers in one phase and Negro spirituals in the other. Of the entire Festival, Mr. Decker says, "It is an excellent idea . I hope the students will take advantage of the opportunities available to them ."

The key speaker of the program was Mr. Paul Hoffman of the United Nations Technical Assistance Program, An anthropologist, Mr. Scienr berger believes that anthropology has an important relationship to foreign aid and technical assistance. In fact, one of the main ideas brought out during the convention was the point of view that one of the best types of aid we can give underdeveloped peoples is helping these countries to help themselves. Anthropologists should work in conjunction with technicians in encouraging people of emergent nations to learn to utilize their own environment and resources more efficiently. The Annual Fashion Show will not be held this Spring.

These three Huskies gained 14 points for a 14th place tie with Syracuse and Cornell as they competed in what has been termed -the finest field of wrestlers ever assembled for this event. Robb, finishing in 4th place, took the highest position ever achieved by a Husky. Bill turned in three days of brilliant wrestling and captured 4th place in the tourney 's 130 pound class gaining 8 team points. Displaying the finest performance of his wrestling career, Robb met and defeated many of the best wrestlers in his weight class. Bill lost the third place crown and a chance to represent the NCAA in the Olympic tryouts when Mark Piven of Penn State scored a 3-0 triumph.

They played in snow, rain, and mud just to make a place on the team.

SIDELINES by John Murtin Last Sat urd ay aft ernoon, the Husky track team opened its season by walloping Kutztown State College 105-35. Lettermen Gary Edwards, Jan Prosseda, Joe Fazzari , and Jim Young were in good form for th e first meet and should improve even more as the season progresses. One more thing while we'r e on the subj ect of track. I would j ust like to list some of the conditions which teams have to cope with \vhen they run our diminishing obstacle course. First, we have the only 100-yard dash in which the last ten yards are up hill. Distance runners have to watch for flying j avelins in between the frequent turns on our pint-size track. Second, shot-put participants have \ to throw in between trees. Last year, Gary Edwards had one of his best shots ruined by a branch. Third, high j umpers have to cope with swamp conditions which make it hard to get off the ground and pole-vaulters have to watch for holes in the runway. These are just some of the tougher conditions which trackmen face when they run at BSC. What should be done ? Maybe we could run up the middle of the street downtown in between cars. I think it would be a lot safer. are, Jim McKinley (Sr.) , Rick Heller ( Soph.) , Alex DubU (Fr. ) , and Lin Barlik. These four men will qualify sometime before the match today.
