ONE DOES NOT REALIZE
Have you stopp ed to realize that many repairs have been made
on our buildings here during our last vacation? So often we don 't appreciate ju st what upkeep or maintenance goes on within these
grounds; but , there is a steady crew of men working from eight-thirty
in the morning to six at .ni ght. And they 're busy.
Let 's jus t look at a few jobs they did during vacation. The library
stairs and tlie stairs coming down by room "E" have been painted.
New floor has been laid by room "L" where you come in from North
Hall and the {raining school. Clogged showers have been fixed in both
dormitories.. ' Many steam pipes have been repaired all over the
campus. Girls in Waller Hall vote a loud praise of thanks for the in*y stallatiort of new irons.
! , We just .accept a ll t h ese jo b s as a matter of course , an d we
don 't sh ow our .appreciati on for them. Let 's show it by taking care of
th e irons, and . by not tracking in all kinds of material on the new floor
or the steps. We know that if there is something we want done, all we
heed to do is to ask for it and it is done. Now let 's ask ourselves to
take care of it.

CONGRATULATIONS, BIRDMEN!

During the firs t semester of our 1940-'41 school term , B.S.T.C. has
added a new school activity to its curriculum— C.A.A. Student Training Course. During our first semester our college has been under probation as to whether this course would stimulate enoug h interest and
prove to be a successful undertaking. Unusual interest and favorable
results have made it a total success and it undoubtedl y will be a part
of our curriculum during the coming semester.
Our C.A.A. course is made possible by the Federal Government
and is sponsored by our college. The course, divided into two sections
consists of flig ht instruction at the Bloomsburg Airport and ground
school instruction held in our college classrooms. Both are under the
able supervision of men well trained in their particular branch of
C.A.A. instruction.
The pioneer birdmen of B.S.T.C. should be complimented upon
making this new undertaking a total success. It, indeed, was a total
success! All ten of the students participating in C.A.A. have successfully completed the requirements which included passing a rigid ph ysical examination , final ground school examination given b y the state
C.A.A. inspector , and the final flight check given by the flight instructor at the local airport, Few other colleges sponsoring C.A.A. have
had such favorable results.
NEW CANDY STORE
The Commun ity Government Association is to be lauded for their
ac tion on the candy problem at B.S.T.C. For a long time there has
been a need for a candy st ore on the campus , The task was too much
for any one or gan ization , and the only logical solution to such a problem was to hav e the book store take on the project of selling cand y in
addi tion to selling textbooks and school supp lies. The book store has
been doing a rushing bus iness for the past few weeks , and by the
action of the students , it looks as thoug h the candy project will be a
success.
The members of C.G.A. have succeeded in showing us very
clearly tha t they are capable of findin g the best solution to a trying
problem and to act accordingly , It would behoove us all in the near
fu ture, when we are criticising our own governing board , to remember
that if requested to do anything within reason for the students of
B.S.T.C , the members of the C.G.A , will solve the problem in the best
1
'
way that they see fit,

So That's Statistics ?
Statistics show that Yale graduates
have 1.3 children , while Vassar graduate have 1.7 children. Which proves
that women have more children than
men.

horrible civil war in Spain that was accurately dubbed "the munition makers experiment grounds". Ernest Hemingway has written about both sides
of the war and both sides have been painted in bloody gore.

Bloom Meets Millersville in Quest of 3rd Straight

COLLEGE FIVE "Huskies " Swamp
DOWNS LOCK Shippensburg, 54-27
HAVEN , §1-43 Teamwork and Good Shooting
TEA M PR ESSED H ARD IN
FINA L MOMEN TS OF GAME
Staging a laSt-minute, rapid-fire
surge in order to overcome a serious
Lock Haven threat, Coach George
Buchheit's pennant-minded Huskies
were hard-pressed in recording a 51.
43 victory over a classy Bald Eagle
outfit last Saturday night. An overflow crowd, numbering around six
hundred , watched the fracas on the
college floorboards.
The Huskies, anxious to chalk up
their third success of the campaign,
hopped to their task by taking an
opening-round lead, but the Eagles
came back strong in the next two
stanzas to cause the Huskies no end
of trouble. A rather shaky defense
prevented Bloomsburg from harassing the Lock Haven attempts. Teamplay by the Huskies enabled them to
come out on top.
Well-Balanced Attack
The Bald Eagles bsasted a wellknitted attack with Gene Springman,
rangy back-court guardian , and Stan
Daley doing yeoman work on the
offense.
Quick passing and accurate shooting on the part of the Huskies garnished them eighteen points for their
effort in the opening minutes. The
Lock - Haven* "lads' could not find the
cords for much advantage throughout this first period and as a result
trailed by seven points at the finis of
the quarter.
In the second canto, the Husky
defense bogged and Stan Daley cut
through effectively to enable the invaders to pull up within striking distance of the Husky lead. Inability to
make their shots count, found the
Huskies losing ground after intermission. Both teams battled on even
terms until a last-period rally by the
B.S.T.C. basketballers made possible

Strictly adhering to their foreign
and domestic policy which emphasises

representatives, their big guns polished to perfection , doled out a 54-27
drubbing to the Shippensburg Teachers last week. The Huskies showed
no mercy in recording their first win
against Teachers College opposition.
The Cumberland Valley dribblers,
usually a thorn in the Huskies path ,
were unable to cope with the fast
offensive that the Maroon and Gold
five sported. Shooting with precisionlike accuracy, the Huskies commanded an early lead which they never
relinquished throughout the battle.
Although the Huskies easily outscored their opponents during the
first half of the game, Shippensburg,
paced by Beible, smooth-working
guard, and Bushey, speedy forward,
fought on almost even terms with the
Huskies from thereon.
The third period saw the Buchheit-tutored club tally sixteen points,
however, whjle the Cumberland Valley Collegians found the ccrds for

Sporting Around By Atex Foster

After getting past two teachers college foes, the Huskies are well on
their way for another j aunt down the basketball trail. What lies ahead is
not known but this department believes that Coach Buchheit has groomed
probably one of the finest all-around clubs that this institution has seen
along wooden way in many years. We frankly admit the Huskies have a
golden opportunity to snare the Teachers College crown, but we insert, if
they work together.
To publicize one man as outstanding for the team, has a telling effect
on the other four players, for you must remember that it takes five men to
make or break a team. Sports-writer have the tendency to heap praise on
an individual player if his team tops their opposition but, on the other hand,

East Stroudsburg looms as the Huskies' chief headache in their quest

have more than j ust talent.

JUST CHATTING

The other Sunday p.m. this observer spent an enjoy able two-hour session with Oren Sterling, boss of the Sunbury Senators, discussing the current woes of the national pastime. Sterling, Who built his Inter-State league
entry up from a small-town ball club, claims that the life of an owner is
not so rosey. He told us that the Inter-State loop, which will be four years
old come this summer, is becoming faster each year since major league
clubs are taking over many of the clubs.
The regional magnate has much faith in his manager, Dutch Dorman ,
who after taking over the reigns of the club late in the past season guided
them up several positions, and he related that the Senators will be in the
thick of the fight for first-divisional honors. He expects the trip to Florida
for a three weeks training period to be very costly, but worthwhile.
PRAISE FOR BLOOMSBURG
The loss of his first string receiver, Johnny Stats, who graduated to bigger time, will place much of the burden on Lou Hummel, ertswhile B.S.T.C.
athlete now playing ball in Panama during the winter months. A good hitter
and an abundance of spirit , Lou Sterling predicts, will land in higher class.
Sterling recalled his short stay here at B.S.T.C, and blamed his A.W.O.L.
on his calling in the baseball world. He commented favorably on Bernie
Cobb , ex-Maroon and Gold baseballer and first baseman for Wilmington in
the same circuit, and Danny Litwhiler, who needs no introduction. In conclusion he congratulated Dr. Nelson on his splendid baseball teams and forecasted future success for B.S.T.C, teams.
SPORT FODDER

Leo Lehman, Bill Kerchusky, and George Monarlck have been selected
by a roll of state.wide colleges as members of the mythical all-state football
team for the 1940 season. Lehman, Captain of the Husky Squad, was also
selected, on the honorabl e mention list, for a backfleld berth on the Little
All-American team which takes in the schools of the nation.
Menarick , a sophomore, will be back with the team for the coming
season, but Korchusky and Lehman have played their last game for the
Maroon and Gold. Both will graduate in Juno.
It is interesting to note that these selections represent all departments
of a football team. Kerchusky, an end, Menarick, a tackle, and Lehman, a
triple-threat back ; all of this proves that the Huskies were strong in every
department.

games to start on schedule.
The success of this student activity
depends upon the students . By giving
your full cooperation with that of an

Honorary Captains
Leo Lehman, Husky backfleld ace,
and Hugh Niles, standout distance

teams at a recent vote. The soccer
unit elected George Houaeknecht, dependable senior, their honorary captain at the conclusion of their season.
Lehman, a four-year performer,
and Houseknecht will graduate this
spring but Niles, a Bophomore, will
be back to form the nucleus of next
year's "hill and dalers", To all three
go our heartiest congratulations and
hopes for continued success,

Writes to Facult y

MISS DOROTHY SCHMIDT

Condensation of
Letters From J apan
— Mary Brunstetter —
From turbulent Japan , regularly
come friendly letters, from a charming Presbyterian missionary, Miss
Dorothy Schmidt , to two members
of Bloomsburg's faculty, Miss Ethel
Shaw and Miss Edna Hazen. Plastered with colorful foreign stamps and
filled with pertinent facts of Japan
today, the letters are particularly interesting to Bloomsburg because Miss
Schmidt once came here as a student
in elementary, then secondary work
and is now one of the most interesting graduates Bloomsburg can claim.
The great concern of the missionary now in Japan , is the rapid change
that is constantly taking place. These
changes inevltabily affect any work
the Christian, church may be doing or
planning. Early in November the
Japanese pastor, associated with the
mission, returned from a great meeting in Tokyo and told his congregation that "the time had come when
the church and missionaries must
separate". This meeting, instigated
by. the . "higher powers", shows how
perilous is the position of the foreign
missionary and how uncertain the
near ; future. Although the mission
school goes on as usual , it is rumored
that! at; the end of the year, the beginning ( pf April , the number of foreigners-allowed to teach in any one
school wlU be only one or two.
¦'Because their work has been great]yi hindered or stopped entirely, many
miBsionarios have returned home.
From the other missions there has
been a grand exodus; some-waiting
to'leave , and some already on the
Pacific. The American Embassy has
advised overyono to leave, but the
Board of Missions has notified Miss

December 20, and they had just as
much fun , too , by the way. Spotlighted on their program was a truly styled "hillbilly minstrel" from the wilds
of Benton , and movies on the life of
Lincoln and last year's Homecoming.

Mr. Buchheit were honored guests.

Frank Girton , the "Northern Cowboy, " who appeared in an honest'-togoodness red flannel shirt and demonstrated how the old riders of the
range used to play the "geetar" and
sing such familiar ballads as "She'll
Be Com in ' Round the Mountain When

he had composed himself. He called
it "The Cabin by the Old Macadam

Clayton Patterson, the "pride of

ping-pong to become the uncrowned

he said, quote "Oh gee, I guess I

Hot dogs by the bushel and "cocacola" as a "helper" rounded out an
evening full of fun and laughter. The
