Vandenberg Named As Running
Mate; Walter Reed Gives Fiery
Nominating Speech

Bloomsburg went haywire with excitement April 25, when Phi Sigma
Pi fraternity sponsored a mock Republican Nominating Convention. All
the up-and-coming politicians of the
nex t voting generation turned on the
heat to put their candidate on the
ballot. The entire procedure of a
nominating convention was carried
out to the nth degree, and great deal
of fun and knowledge was gleaned
by all those who attended. It was
Phi Sigma Pi's aim to acquaint the
students with the general procedure
followed by the major political parties in the nomina tion of the President and Vice-President of the United States. They also wanted to get
an idea of the "students " choice as
well as cultivate an interest in the
coming campaign. When Senator
Robert A. Taft from Ohio was nominated it came as quite a surprise, for
the New York favorite, Thomas E.
Dewey, seemed to be the pre-convention choice. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan was named as
his running mate.
wauer iteea , irom anunngion,
gave the nomina ting speech for Taft ,
and aroused the entire convention
with fist-pounding, arm waving and
pleading that approached the real
thing. The woman 's touch was supplied by Sara Mausteller, from Pottsville , who gave the seconding speech.
She used good politics (half of the
convention were women) and pointed out that Taft was a family man
having "four handsome sons." As
the seconding speech ended, a large
group of Taft supporters showered
the auditorium with confetti.
On the first ballot Dewey led Taf t
491 to 489. Senator Vandenberg polled 48 and Wendel Wilkie, midwest
utilities magnet, received 33. Howard
Tomlinson called a five minute recess and log-rolling that the actual
Republican convention would envy
got under way. Then it was that the
Vandenberg and Taf t delegates got
their heads together. The Vanderberg boosters promised to swing
along with Taft for the Presidential
nomi nation if the Ohio forces threw
their support with Vandenberg for
the vice-presidency. John Lavelle
and Clark Renninger, kingpi ns in the
Vandenberg machine, reached an
"agree m en t" with Reed and from
there on the convention was more or
less cut and dried. Indiana , Ka nsas,
Mississippi , and Montana swung
fro m Dewey to Taft; New Jersey and
North Carolina , which had split their
votes between Taft and Dewey, went
•along with the Taft delegation. This
time Taft was nominated , netting 535
to Dewey's 457. Af ter the celebration was over, the conevntlon nominated Vandenberg for Vice-President
when he defeated Dewey, 568 to 422.
In 1928 a similar convention was
sponsored by the same fraternity and
that time they nominated Hoover and
Curtis, just as they appeared on the
1D28 ballot. Professor E. A. Reams,
advisor of the fraternity and teacher
of social studies , was instrumental in
staging the convention and lent a
guidin g hand throughout the pror-ooHinus.

The three leaf ones are everywhere
And found the whole world over.
A true friend is our rarest book
Which we alone possess;
A store of knowledge which we took
To help us gain success.
Each tender memory—a rose,
Placed in the book to press;
A book no author could compose
Of fri ends we love the best.
And faith in friendship will outline
Each other worldly treasure;
For which the very least we give
And yet. receive most pleasure.

ON FLUNKING TYPING

(By Bob Llewellyn)
The tick of the ftlock
The click of the key,
Oh , Lord Almighty,
This course "has" me.

CHAPEAUX TO
THE FRONT
Make up your mind firmly this
Spring, that you are choosing your
new hat for decorative purposes only.
We have no desire to be sensible or
to wear anything just because it conforms to the perverted masculine
idea of what a hat should look like.
This is a year to flaunt our decorations proudly—and our decorations
are our hats. If our hats keep the
rain out, or protect our permanents,
so much the better. We don't like
hats that are just sensible. If we
find one that is flattering, gay , coquettish , spiri t-lifting, then it is a
good hat.
However, be sure you feel at home
in your decorative hat. If you feel
foolish with a bunch of violets perch ed over one eye, you'll look foolish.
Don 't wear it. If a floating expanse
of veil makes you feel embarrassed,
you 'll look that way. Choose a hat
you can wear with confidence , poise
and an air of knowing what you are
about. Be sure, however, that you
get an effect that is charming, not
just sensational; young, but not kiddish; coquettish, not just flirtatious.
One test in choosing—i f it adds to
your poise, make it yours ; if it frightens yo u, forget it. If your hat feels
more important than you do, it will
make you look less important , and—
less interesting.
Therefore, dissolve all doubts and
put your mind at rest. Resolved:—
That this will be one Spring when
women will wear ja untily their decorations (hats), and apologize for
them not.

Raiders really went on a "r aiding

nine, and blasted out a 24 to 5 victory in the second home game of the
season.
Leading the devastating 28-hit assault on four Bloomsburg pitchers
were four giants who made the Husky
football team look so small last Fall.
Berke, Bergstresser, and Parkin all
had home runs and Habig contributed
a mastodonic round-tipper along with
a double to right-center field.
For the Huskies, Don Hausknecht
and Frank Koniecko each collected
three bingles, while Jake Trethaway
and Herb Schneider were each credited with two hits.
Bill "Wanich drew his first starting
assignment on the mound and went
along well for three innings but fell
victim of an 8-run scoring spree
staged by the visitors in the fourth.
Niles , Hancock and Maslowski followed him to the mound but were
unable to stem the surging Red
Raider tide of base blows.
Morris, the brilliant Shippensburg
shortstop, and towering, "Whitey"
Berke, first sacker, each made four
hits for the visitors.

Highlights From
Commercial Picnic

(By Jack Remley)
The Frosh Date Bureau , according
to all reports, turned out to be a fizzle. The obvious reason for it was
the lack of student cooperation.
Heres' a suggestion, don't confine the
dates to just dances, but make them
week-end dates. There are a few
bashful boys and girls on the campus
(though we hate to admit it) who are
actually afraid to ask for a date. I've
heard more than one person say that
such a date bureau should be given
another chance.
