unknowing Frosh who have had only
from a professional standpoint the
pleasure of knowing our Dean we
take extreme delight in presenting
to you the man we upperclassmen
know as our new Dean. In the collegiate year, 1937-38 he has been
appointed to take the place of that
Grand Old Man with the new ideas,
who was loved 'by everyone ever
connected with B. S. T. C—Mr. William B. Sutliff.
Mr. Andruss, who hails from the
Commercial Department of the Indiana State Teachers College, came
to Bloomsburg in 1930 with the task
of installing the Commercial Department. Under his capable direction
wo saw the Commercial Department
emerge, with amazing rapidity, from
an enrollment of 20 or 30 to over 200

Dean Andruss was graduated from
Draughon 's Practical Business College, Dallas, Texas, after which ho

satisf action

Did you ever work long and hard
at a task, and do it thoroughly to its
very completion ? Then you have
known the thrill of satisfaction that
comes with achievement. You had a
vision that became reality—even
though it was getting the kitchen
floor spotless—it was a vision and
you made it come true.
Achievement of our ideals and
purposes in life is what gives life a
meaning—makes it worth our living. Through achievement of our
ideals we create a character, and
through our character we create a
destiny.
If you labor long and diligently
over an assignment and finally see
the correct answer emerge from a
mass of figures, or the studied material take shape and substance in
your mind , you will feel an inescapable pride. And you should ! But, if
on tho other hand, you go to your
next-door neighbor and copy the solution to the problem or his notes on
the text, you will experience no pride.
You may feel glad that such-andsuch an assignment is finished and
now you are free to go down town,
but you can never feel the elation
that comes when your own mind
has reached into bewilderment and
darkness and found the answer!
Someday, somewhere, you will
have to depend on yourself completely; that is, if you arc not an idiot, a
moron, or a mental delinquent.
Everyone must face the world single
handed, perhaps only for a short
time, but alone, sometime or other.
Prepare yourself to wrest from that
world the very best it has to offer
you; not by unjust means but
through your own honest ability and
ambition.
Envision in your own mind a destiny for yourself—set up the goal
you wish to reach, and then shape
each situation , each attainment toward that end. Remember, you only
reap from life what you sow! So
start now to sow tho kind of grain
you want to reap!

Library News
Notes

The Library Reserve list still
shows a large number of people who
are waiting to read "Gone With the
Wind." Did you notice during the
summer that the shops displayed
dresses featuring "Gone With the
Wind" skirts ? — that beauty salons
urged "Gone with the Wind" coiffures ? Even now the swing bands
are playing "Gone with the Wind."
Here's some good news for
the people who "never-havetime-to-read-a-book". When you
are 'in the Library with a few
minutes of leisure, you'U enjoy reading some of the fascinating booklets on reserve at the
desk.
"Rating for Dating" contains a
clever little chart to help you Rate
your Date. The Freshmen will be
especially anxious to find out "What
to Talk About," "How to Act", and
"What to Do on Dates."
There is also a companion booklet
"Date Doin's"—equally as interestin er.
While you are asking the librarian for Date Doins you
might also like to read "How
to be Popular," and "Private
Lines and Party Conversation."
Girls, there are two booklets
especially for you-any Girl Can
Neck but, "How to make Girls
Like You", and "Let Make-up
Make You Over".
The men haven't been neglected either for they may read "Gentlemen
Preferred", which is a book of practical ettiquette for men.
Here's one which everyone will
enjoy—"Your Handwriting Tells On
You" (This has nothing to do with
Palmer Method — it concerns the
traits of your character as found in
your writing. ) Tell your own fortune in a few minutes.
"Co-Etiquette" was written especially for Co-eds. After you read it
you'll know how to avoid that "Don't
know what to do Feeling."
Others equally as good are:
"She Strives to conquer," "Personality Preferred ," and "Manners for Millions."
For those who know all about
Dates and Etiquette, there is the
really enjoyable "Wake Up and
Live."

DURING THE LAST VACATION
MONTHS

complete reform of our system
of customs is as necessary as the
air we breathe. When an institution is offered for the benefit
of a group, and then is com'
pletely ignored by the majority
and abused by t he rest, t h e on ly
remedy for the situation is elimination of that institution. That
is exactly the position in which
we f ind our practise of customs
at present.
When the innovation of cus>
toms was made at Bloomsburg,
its purpose was to. acquaint ! the
Freshmen with', the rules and
regulations of the campus and
in some cases to moderate a superiority complex gained during
High School days, but as time
has progressed it has come to
mean the oppression of a few
and the satisfaction of personal
grudges. 'It was meant to be a
period of acclimation and not a
time during which the Freshman's life was to be made as
miserable as possible. This year
it has reached an all time high
in ineffiiceticy so far as its fun damental purpose is concerned.
Anoth er failure comes in the
enforcements of customs. If they
are to continue for six weeks,
they should be rigidly enforced
for that period , and not disregarded immediately after the Pajama Parade , as has always been
the case. When the proposal to
eliminate customs was made,
the stu dent b ody vigorously protested, and when it was decided
to continue them for their benef it, they either cottld not or
wotdd not f ind time { to enforce
them. In all fairness I ask—is
that appreciation?
Cooperation is the keynote 0}
success and upon cooperation
depends the future of customs
on this campus. It is up to you,
the upperclassmen of tomorrow,
to demonstrate by your actions
whether or not customs are appreciated enough to be contintied. A step in the right direc *
tion means the preserving of an
old practise, a step the other
way, its elimination. It is your
responsibility and the decision
can be made only once. Th ink
it over!
Respectfully yours,

A new college curiculum to which
the experience of sixteen major colleges and universities has contributed , goes into effect this fall at Hofstr a College, according to Provost
Rufus D. Smith of New York University.
At Hofstra, which is the Universi t y 's Long Island affiliate, to a
greater extent , perhaps than in any
ot her college, ordinary academic* departments will bo scrapped. For example, there will be no departments
of economics, sociology and politics.
Instead there will be merely a division of social science , in which six
basic courses running in sequence
from freshman to senior year will
correlate all three or the conventional departments.
Comprehensive examinations covering two year 's work are planned
for independent work under tutorial

Win over Millers Boosts Husky Spirits for Indian Invasion Today
Aer ials Spell Victory
In Season Opener

HOW WE PICK 'EM

Passing Game Promises To Be
Strong Offensive During
Ensu ing Games
In an aerial attack that held Millersville gasping soon after the opening whistle blew, the Huskies won
their opener, 21-6, by piling up such
an imposing score that Millersville
didn 't really threaten throughout
the duration of the game, played on
foreign soil last Saturday.
The passing clicked- so effectively
that Millersville seemed to wonder
where they were all dropping from
after the Huskies scored in the early
minutes of the first quarter on a
long pass from Wenrich to Zaleski.
Laubach kicked the point, making
it 7-0 after about 3 minutes of play.
Fumble Leads to Second Score
Millersville was in a daze when
Bloom scored again. Sircovics got
hold of the ball on a Millersville
fumble on their own 25 line. Jones
made a 22 yard pass to Giermak putting the Huskies on the 5-yard line.
On the second down Jones heaved
to Serafin for touchdown and Laubach converted, worrying the hosts
with a 14-0 Bloom lead.
Throughout the second quarter
and for the first half of the third
the fans and both teams sweltered
in the sun until the game again became interesting and everybody forgot about the heat when Millersville fumbled and Forsyth recovered,
taking the pigskin to their 48. Bob
Hopfer managed to charge the line
for a 3-yard gain and then Jones
tossed to Wenrich, bringing the ball
deep into the enemy territory on
their 10. Then Pogozelski was
thrown for a ten yard loss. Jones
tossed to Wenrich, who went over
for a touchdown.
In the last two minutes Millersville recovered a Husky fumble.
Pincavage tossed to his substitute
back for a score.

Telegraph ic Meet Is

Slippery Rock Harriers Would

Chester on Friday, Oct, 29.
If the telegraphic meet goes
through it will be the first of its
kind held here. Each team runs on
its own track; hill and dale courses
being eliminated because no two are
exactly alike. The schools agree on
a distance and then telegraph the
time of the first five men to finish
to the other school and from this

team wins.

He has moulded a squad that is
sure to be a headache to any of its
opponents and at the same time developed a team of men that will give
him a wealth of material with which
to substitute and relieve his starting eleven.

NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL
SCORES 52-0 OVER J.V. 's

Saturday, October 2, the Husky
Jayvees traveled to Doylestown for
their opening game against the National Farm School. Completely outplayed, they returned on the short
end of a 52-0 score. The Farm
School had in its starting line-up ten
of last year's first stringers. The
more experienced squad had a distinct advantage over the College
Cubs, many of whom were playing
their first game.

If the Millersville game is a foreruner of what is to be expected in
the future the Huskies should have
a record-breaking team this season,
but experience teaches us not to do
any more predicting.
And speaking of records, the
squad thin year numbers more
by far than any other year, the
freshman and sophomores leading the list.
Incidently the freshmen seem to

Book Inten ded to Reflect Personal ity of Dedicatee;
Contract Awarded
Mr. George Sharp, editor of the
Obiter, has stated that his publication of the yearbook will not have a
definite theme as most other editions ,
have. Instead, it will express in a
subtle way the personality of the dedicatee.
Until now, the photographic, athletic, and clerical staffs have been
working, but since the budget has
been approved, the managerial staff
will go into action next week.
Wednesday evening the contract
for publishing and engraving for the

Publishing Company of Williamsport. Dr. Russell as faculty advisor and George Sharp and John
Hendler signed the contract.

organization in motion. The Governing Board of the group made up
of the President and Vice-President

members from each class elected
by the class has already held several
meetings and serves as a legislative,
executive, and judicial body for the
Waller Hall group. A new senior
member, Alberta Brainard, Susquehanna , has recently been elected to
the group. Helen Pesansky, Sheppton , and Irene Knapp, Kingston,
are acting senior members taking
the place of girls doing student
teaching at Williamsport.
The Governing Board has announced the following appointments
of committee chairmen for the college year 1937-38, and the committees are now organizing and undertaking the year's work: Finance

Only Four of Thirt y from Last
Year Are Not Now
Employed
Graduates of the Department of
Commerce of State Teachers Colleges are having little difficulty in
obtaining positions. Of the thirty
who graduated in May, only four
are unemployed at the present time
and it is believed that these will be
placed within the future.
• The graduates are either teaching
or have found employment in other
fields. The State Department of
Public Instruction at Harrisburg reports the greatest shortage of Commercial teachers in years. This status of affairs is contrary to the belief that the Teacher Tenure Law
would prevent a large number of
teachers from obtaining employment.
Tne graduates of this years class
who have found employment in the
teaching profession are: Amanda I.
