College Birdmen C.G.A. STUDENT
Make Progress COUNCIL MEETS
Once again the air over our campus
hums as our second group of college
birdmen take to their wings.
The new class of twenty has made
rapid progress during the first five
weeks of ground school work with
Mr. Sam Bigony and Mr. William Reber as instructors. Thus far Meteorology, Aircraft Operation and Civil
Air Regulations has been presented
and written examination have been
given in each.
At the preset time students are
getting one-half hour to one hour of
fligh t instruction each day, depending, of course upon the individual's
schedule at school and weather conditions. The students, many of whom
have never gone up in an airplane
previous to their C.A.A. course, are
completely thrilled and satisfied with
this new school activity.
Mr. Sam Bigony said in behalf of
Mr. Neal Metzong, his capable flight
instructor , and himself , "Neal and I
are very pleased with the rapid progress and the perfect cooperation of
our students thus far and we shall do
our best in aiding them to become
capable and efficient pilots—pilots
who our college will be proud of."
As a result of the departure of the
local National Guard having their
headquarters at the local airport , 'the
administration building, comfortable
pilots' rooms , and a well-equipped repair shop, will be accessable for student conveniences.
Conrad, Schlauch
To Edit Obiter
The Junior Class held its election
of officers for next year's Obiter on
Wednesday, February 26, at ten
o'clock in Room D. After the votes
had been carefully tabulated , the results were Wilfred Conrad, Editor,
and Jack Schlauch , Business Manager.
Both officers have been very active
members of the student body in the
past year. Mr. Schlauch served as a
reporter on the Maroon and Gold
Staff and is now serving as Desk
Editor. He also held the office of
Editor of the Handbook for 1940-41.
Outside of the confines of the colleg e, Mr . Schlauch has an unusual
hobby of making telescopes.
Mr. Conrad began his journalistic
career by serving as a reporter on
the Maroon and Gold Staff in 1939-40.
He was a nominee for the Editorship
of the Maroon and Gold for 1940-41,
and is now Managing Editor.
COLLEGE CATALOG TO BE
COMPLETED BY EASTER
The new College Catalog for the
year 1941-42 has undergone quite a
few modifications , and is now gone to
press to be printed . Tho catalog wlj]
bo published before tho Easter vacation.
Mr. Samuol L. Wilson , who is in
charge of tho catalog this year, has
announced that tho entire format
will be different. Tho cover stylo and
(he typo of page will bo quite apart
from tho usual. Moreover , for tho
first time in the history of the catalog,
tho vurlous courses offorod hero at
Bloomsburg will bo described briefl y,
"Prologue to Glory "
To better acquaint the student
body with wh'at the Student Council
is endeavoring to do it shall be the
policy of this paper to give a brief
resume of what transpires at the
meetings. In all probability within the
near future the editor of the college
paper will be a representative of the
Council, and thereby shall be able to
better familiari ze the students with
their representatives.
At the meeting held on February
17, Frank Shope made a motion
which has been carried to the effect
that the Maroon and Gold paper is
to be sent to all the draftees who
leave school but who hope to return
to Bloomsburg after their year of
military training is completed. It shall
be the duty of the editor or an appointed representative, to see that
this is done. However , the cooperation of the draftees will be needed in
order to have the correct addresses
available for mailing. The expense of
mailing will be included by the CGA.

Andruss Speaks
Kiwanis-Rotary
At RE.G Club Tomorrow Night
President Andruss was the principal speaker at a recent meeting of
the Business Education Club. He
brought to the members a very interesting talk on the history of the
club and the Department of Business
Education.
He pointed out that the Business
Education in the College has had a
great number of changes since the
first Academy. In 1920, BSTC , which
was at that time a Literary Institute,
was taken over by the state. In 1930
after the completion of the ten year's
experiment aU. Indian a , and institution for commmercial work was selected to serve the eastern section of
the state. Kutztown was to be the
original selection, but in the event
that they were unable to take advantage of the offer, Bloomsburg was to
be considered.
Mr. Andruss gave some statistics
on the successful placements of
Bloomsburg's graduates in the past
years , and how the Pi Omega Pi was
found ed.
As a closing thought he reminded
the members of the club that consistant effort hard effort, in the sense
of giving all you have, will have results even in this day when other
people, seem .to get a)o.ng..xvitr^;'pijuX^
politics and plain magic. The t alk
was closed with this motto which has
been used as the topic of many sermons: "Do the best you can , with
what you have, where you are."

CLEPTOMANIACS
There is a general tendency among children in the grade schools
and even on into the hig h schools to crave for things that do not
belong to them. Psychological reasons are the bases of these undesirable actions of the child. The child in the first place has no reasoning
power to understand what it means to steal; a child has no conscience
that tells him that the nickel he stole was the onl y nickel his playmate
had. He has no conscience that tells him that the pair of g loves he
took meant so much to the owner. For this reason we can excuse a
child.
Yet, odd as it may seem , some children never become mature. Their
.bodies grow but their minds still possess that child's instinct—that
mania for stealing. These few go throug h hig h school hording all they
can , pens , books , money, school equipment , such as sharpeners, sneaks,
jerseys , and all little what-nots. Then when they graduate from hig h
school , they enter college, supposedly old enough to throw away their
childish instincts and act as men and women. But this is not so. Even
in colleges and universities, pens are stolen , books are stolen , and even
money . . . money that the thieves know was hard earned and saved
only throug h great sacrifice. Can these cleptomaniacs be stopped?
Most likel y they cannot be. They must learn to stop themselves , to
overcome those mental weaknesses by sheer will power, for no outside
force nor penalty can serve to cure such evils.
PUBLIC OPINION — A DILEMNA
Public opinion is the axis of a spinning democracy, the wrench
in the cogs of plutocracy , the "black one " in the herd of a monarchy.
It is the faith of the citizen , hope of the politician , and chanty of the
government; a milestone to the falling , a mig ht to the rising, a weig ht
to the condemned , a pedestal for the presiding.
It takes and makes or breaks the best and worst of men. It speaks
thunderous words of approval or volcanic eruptions of rebuttal , It may
salvage a mouse to condemn a man.
Civilizations rise and fall by it. Nations are carried thru prosperity,
depression , panic, and destruction by it. Wars survive and breed like
parasites on it. Men live, suffer , and die for it. Saints rest upon its
generous laurels, while devils damn its cutting curses. And the animal
kingdom loves or hates its kick or kiss. — Robert Sommett. J anuary 6,
1939

"RANDOM HARVEST"
by James Hilton
James Hilton 's first novel in seven
"Random Harvest", is said by
his publishers to be his best work. It
has a plot bette r than "Lost Horizon", and its character sketches are
superior to those of "Good-bye Mr.
Chips." Ja mes Hilton conceived his
title , "Random Harvest" from an
official German report. Because an
official British report stated that
bombs fell at random , the Germ a n s
though t that "random " was the name
of a town—so the Germans came out
in an official report stating that according to an official British report
bombs fell at Random , England.
"Random Harvest" is the story of a
man who at one time suffered from a
case of amnesia. He was a perfectly
normal Individual until the war of
1914 came along. Ho was serving in
the trenches and was sent out across
no-man 's land in charge of a small
group of men. A shell burs t near him ,
and when he regained consciousness
many years later ho was on a park
bench in Liverpool. Small Incidents
were aways cropping up to remind
him of this period in his life about
which he could remember nothing,
and it became his chief aim in life
to find out about himself during that
period of his life right after the war.
"Random Harvest" la good reading.
It's just the book to take your mind
off these heavy-handed affairs that
are being popularized today, The novel is light , easy reading to be enjoyed
in this war wearied country. The
book has a plot which is novel enough
to bo Intriguing.

Bloomsburg Cage Team Proves Best in Many Years
Buchheiters
Ready For
Tough Year
Having won nineteen straight dual
meets in the past five years and anxious to retain the State Teachers College crown which they have held for
fo ur successive years , Coach George
Buchheit's '41 track unit face a difficult assignment for the ensuing
months as they prepare for the opening of the coming season with East
Stroudsburg on April 23 on the college terrain.
Sorely missed from last year's excellent track ou tfit will be Dan Kemple and Ken Hippensteel, distance
men. Coach Buchheit will be faced
with * a difficult task in seeking replacements for these two men as well
as a host of others including Harry
Jenkins, hi gh-scorer of last year with
ninety points, who traded his books
for a pair of wings, and Matt Kashuba , star high-jumper . Kashuba in '40
set a new record with a vault of 6 ft.
2 % in. but he failed to return to
school for this term.
A bright spot in the Huskies hopes
for another gala j ourney are lettermen Dan Bonham, a holder of several
state and local college weight records , Howard Tomlinson, John Lavelle , and Walter Reed. These last
three distance men are expected to
carry much of the burden in the longer jaunts.
Promising Newcomers
Other lettermen that will be counted on to carry Bloomsburg to the top
are Don Jenkins and George Spon tak.
These lads excel in the 440 and hurdles with Jenkins doing yeomen's
work in the javelin.
Many promising candidates are
making a determined bid to land a
position of the BSTC varsity track
team. Elwood Wagner, George Hauskneckt, Andy Magill, and Mario Conte are batting it out for top honors
in the pole vault event. A large group
of aspirants in the sprints are attempting to win a place on the squad,
including Barton , Ohl , Doste r, Wearne, and Swisher.
Walter Kania , Hugh Niles, Bud
Dietz, Sworin , Turini , and John Hubiak are among the candidates for
the distance runs. In the middle distance j aunts Egroff , Magill , and

places.

While scanning the files of old Bloomsburg Normal publications we came
across some interesting accounts of the athletic contests in those days before
the turn of the twentieth century . Although boasting of a small but highlyspirited student body, the Normal School carried on athletic relations with
such instit utions as Lafayette, University of Pennsylvania , Carlisle Indians,
Bucknell, Gettysburg, and Wyoming Seminary.
During the 1896-1897 season the Normal Court team met Bucknell and
here is an excerpt from the writer's account of the contest. "The game of

the home team ( Normal ) by the score of 24-12. The Bucknell umpire- either
did not know the game or else he made up his mind to win this one for his
team. All but one of their twelve baskets were thrown upon fouls. Everyone
knows that the Normal team could hardly make the nineteen fouls he called.
They know the game too well to allow themselves the risk of making so
many."

A glance at the statistics compiled
by the crack BSTC court aggregation
during the recently-completed campaign readily accounts for the neat
record hung up by the Huskies.
Bill Kerchusky, hard-working senior pivot-man , aggregated a total of
241 points for the fourteen-game season while Slim Herr, sharp-shooting
forward, gathered in a grand total of
229 markers to run a close second in
scoring. Herr , additionally made the
best showing from the free throw
lane with 40 conversions out of 59 attempts for a sizeable .678 average.
However Wesley who sported a perfect record and Frank Valente and
Wally Walinchus boasted good averages, but they did not shoot a sufficient number to grab the top rank.
Those mentioned in the rating below participated in sufficient games
and tallied often enough to warrant
their scores. The entire varsity squad
as a complete unit proved to be one
of the highest scoring BSTC basketball teams in many years.

Dr. Nell Maupin of the Social Studies Department went to Atlantic
City to attend a meeting of the International Relations Committee of
which she is a member from Pennsylvania. This committee met at the
Traymore Hotel with Dr. Ben Cherrington as chairman.
The commit tee functions directly
under the National Education Association to give aid in world relationships and understanding. Discussion
of what the different states are doing
in the public schools to stress international attit udes, view points and
understanding led to the conclusion
that all states should greatly increase
their programs. It was suggested that
state associations of education have
an international relations committee
and to print reports in the various
state journals material emphasizing
contacts between the United States
and Latin American countries.
A motion was passed to ask the
Journal of the National Education
Association to devote several pages
of each issue to international prob]em.
Plans are being made to work out
syllabi about various subjects of common interest and to disseminate the
information : to utilize further exchange professorhips and the recognition of credits for university courses
among the nations of North and
South America.
In a world growing daily smaller
good will and understanding is of vital importance to everyone.

North Hall is defi nitely air-minded
these days and the conversation s
among C.A.A. boys in the lobby are
cluttered with aeronautical terms. A
private source has revealed to me
that Dan Bonham refuses to climb
into his upper bunk unless he has his
parachute strapped firmly on , while
his roommate, Therwald Gommer,
insistes upon being called "Ace";
however, some of the boys use a
quaint pronounciation of that word
when refering to Mr. Gommer. You
can 't even make a casual observation
about the weather without being subj ected to a fifteen minute lecture on
clouds, ceiling, wind velocity, and
other phases of meteorology by Stew
Yorks and "Pop" Wesley. Flying may
have its points but for out-and-out
suspense and breath-taking thrills

"Butch" Wesenyak and "Nazi" Vonderheid will vouch for the authenticity of this statement.
Larry Pape has discovered lately
that when the scheduled time for a
haircut comes around he really does
not need one. In genuine alarm he
has fled to the noted authority on
"Hair—Its Loss and Rej uvenation ",
the man who should know—at least
about the firs t part of the subject ,
George Miller. Having received much
sympathy and little advice from that
source , Larry is getting under way a
"Hair For Larry Pape " movement

Britain " campaign.
The girl you see Charlie Horn
sporting around has been his secret
passion for many moons. After the
first three years he finally mustered
enough courage to ask her to go out
with him . Charlie's philosophy is,
"Where there's life there's hope ", so
don 't give up hope boys.
We of North Hall are privileged to
live under the same roof with Bill

B.H.S. Choral Grou p
Gives Performance
In a recent meeting of the Poetry
Club , Eleanor Althoff was elected
secretary for the second semester to
replace Barbara Straub who is doing
student teaching.
The executive committee completed the tentative program for the
remainder of the semester. The program will be as follows : Favorite
Story Poems, Record Program , My
America, Easter Poems, Contest and
Party, My Trees in Poetry, May Day
Poems, and the Annual Picnic.
In recent programs of the Poetry
Club, Miss Mason was guest speaker
on "Books on Poetry ", and Mrs. Kline
sponsored her choral reading group
from the Bloomsburg High School.
The choral reading group consisted of
about twenty girls who performed
excellently.
The Poetry Club is anticipating on
holding an assembly program that
will give a variety of talent which is
found among the members of the
organization.

passed by the Council. The suggestion
has been put into the hands of tile
faculty members of the assembly attendance and awaits their approval.
Also under consideration of the assembly committee is the posting of
subsequent programs. The final decision on this action should be forthcoming shortly.
Francis Thomas, chairman of the
social committee is investigating the
possibilities of having movies held in
the auditorium on Saturday nights.
In the past , movies were shown and
proved to be a flop. Attempting to
have movies once again will be a
trial which must succeed or the
whole plan will fall thro ugh quickly.
At the meeting held on March 3, it
was disclosed there is a lack of pencil
sharpeners in the classrooms. The
Council submitted a request for new
sharpeners and the request has already been granted , as you may have
noticed.
The record playing machine used
for after-dinner dancing in the gymnasium is out of order once again.
Rather than spending more money
repairing this old machine, a committee consisting of Walter Mohr,
F ran k Shope , and Bruce Miller has
been appointed to contact dealers of
the commercial "juke boxes" to see
if a new machine can be reasonably
purchased.
As there are many articles in the
lost and found department of the
business office which are not of any
use to the College, the Council is
endeavoring to dispose of them in one
of two ways, either by placing them
on public auction , or by sending them
to Great Britain as a "bundle for
Britain ". The suggestion has been
tabled for further discussion.
Planning for the trip to the convention which Is to be held in New
York City on April 2, 3, 4, is under
the direction of Idajane Snipe. Anyone wishing to attend the convention
should submit his or her name to
Miss Snipe so that if any vacancies
occur, they may be filled.
Appointment of Grace Thomas as
chairman , and Ruth Hope as vicechairman of the point awards committees has been approved.
The Maroon and Gold , as your collego paper, asks for suggestions you
wish to have presented to the council
for consideration. If you as a student ,
formulate a plan or Idea you wish to
have the council act upon , contact
your class representatives; as It is
through the cooperation of both the
students and the representatives that
truo unity of college government exists.

fligh t instruction each day, depending, of course upon the individual's
schedule at school and weather conditions. The students, many of whom
have never gone up in an airplane
previous to their C.A.A. course, are
completely thrilled and satisfied with
this new school activity.
Mr. Sam Bigony said in behalf of
Mr. Neal Metzong, his capable flight
instructor , and himself , "Neal and I
are very pleased with the rapid progress and the perfect cooperation of
our students thus far and we shall do
our best in aiding them to become
capable and efficient pilots—pilots
who our college will be proud of."
As a result of the departure of the
local National Guard having their
headquarters at the local airport , 'the
administration building, comfortable
pilots' rooms , and a well-equipped repair shop, will be accessable for student conveniences.

Both officers have been very active
members of the student body in the
past year. Mr. Schlauch served as a
reporter on the Maroon and Gold
Staff and is now serving as Desk
Editor. He also held the office of
Editor of the Handbook for 1940-41.
Outside of the confines of the colleg e, Mr . Schlauch has an unusual
hobby of making telescopes.
Mr. Conrad began his journalistic
career by serving as a reporter on
the Maroon and Gold Staff in 1939-40.
He was a nominee for the Editorship
of the Maroon and Gold for 1940-41,

COLLEGE CATALOG TO BE
COMPLETED BY EASTER
The new College Catalog for the
year 1941-42 has undergone quite a
few modifications , and is now gone to
press to be printed . Tho catalog wlj]
bo published before tho Easter vacation.
Mr. Samuol L. Wilson , who is in
charge of tho catalog this year, has
announced that tho entire format
will be different. Tho cover stylo and

first time in the history of the catalog,

To better acquaint the student
body with wh'at the Student Council
is endeavoring to do it shall be the
policy of this paper to give a brief
resume of what transpires at the
meetings. In all probability within the
near future the editor of the college
paper will be a representative of the
Council, and thereby shall be able to
better familiari ze the students with
their representatives.
At the meeting held on February
17, Frank Shope made a motion
which has been carried to the effect
that the Maroon and Gold paper is
to be sent to all the draftees who
leave school but who hope to return
to Bloomsburg after their year of
military training is completed. It shall
be the duty of the editor or an appointed representative, to see that
this is done. However , the cooperation of the draftees will be needed in
order to have the correct addresses
available for mailing. The expense of
mailing will be included by the CGA.

Andruss Speaks
Kiwanis-Rotary
At RE.G Club Tomorrow Night
President Andruss was the principal speaker at a recent meeting of
the Business Education Club. He
brought to the members a very interesting talk on the history of the
club and the Department of Business
Education.
He pointed out that the Business
Education in the College has had a
great number of changes since the
first Academy. In 1920, BSTC , which
was at that time a Literary Institute,
was taken over by the state. In 1930
after the completion of the ten year's
experiment aU. Indian a , and institution for commmercial work was selected to serve the eastern section of
the state. Kutztown was to be the
original selection, but in the event
that they were unable to take advantage of the offer, Bloomsburg was to
be considered.
Mr. Andruss gave some statistics
on the successful placements of
Bloomsburg's graduates in the past
years , and how the Pi Omega Pi was
found ed.
As a closing thought he reminded
the members of the club that consistant effort hard effort, in the sense
of giving all you have, will have results even in this day when other
people, seem .to get a)o.ng..xvitr^;'pijuX^
politics and plain magic. The t alk
was closed with this motto which has
been used as the topic of many sermons: "Do the best you can , with
what you have, where you are."

CLEPTOMANIACS
There is a general tendency among children in the grade schools
and even on into the hig h schools to crave for things that do not
belong to them. Psychological reasons are the bases of these undesirable actions of the child. The child in the first place has no reasoning
power to understand what it means to steal; a child has no conscience
that tells him that the nickel he stole was the onl y nickel his playmate
had. He has no conscience that tells him that the pair of g loves he
took meant so much to the owner. For this reason we can excuse a
child.
Yet, odd as it may seem , some children never become mature. Their
.bodies grow but their minds still possess that child's instinct—that
mania for stealing. These few go throug h hig h school hording all they
can , pens , books , money, school equipment , such as sharpeners, sneaks,
jerseys , and all little what-nots. Then when they graduate from hig h
school , they enter college, supposedly old enough to throw away their
childish instincts and act as men and women. But this is not so. Even
in colleges and universities, pens are stolen , books are stolen , and even
money . . . money that the thieves know was hard earned and saved
only throug h great sacrifice. Can these cleptomaniacs be stopped?
Most likel y they cannot be. They must learn to stop themselves , to
overcome those mental weaknesses by sheer will power, for no outside
force nor penalty can serve to cure such evils.
PUBLIC OPINION — A DILEMNA
Public opinion is the axis of a spinning democracy, the wrench
in the cogs of plutocracy , the "black one " in the herd of a monarchy.
It is the faith of the citizen , hope of the politician , and chanty of the
government; a milestone to the falling , a mig ht to the rising, a weig ht
to the condemned , a pedestal for the presiding.
It takes and makes or breaks the best and worst of men. It speaks
thunderous words of approval or volcanic eruptions of rebuttal , It may
salvage a mouse to condemn a man.
Civilizations rise and fall by it. Nations are carried thru prosperity,
depression , panic, and destruction by it. Wars survive and breed like
parasites on it. Men live, suffer , and die for it. Saints rest upon its
generous laurels, while devils damn its cutting curses. And the animal
kingdom loves or hates its kick or kiss. — Robert Sommett. J anuary 6,
1939

"RANDOM HARVEST"
by James Hilton
James Hilton 's first novel in seven
"Random Harvest", is said by
his publishers to be his best work. It
has a plot bette r than "Lost Horizon", and its character sketches are
superior to those of "Good-bye Mr.
Chips." Ja mes Hilton conceived his
title , "Random Harvest" from an
official German report. Because an
official British report stated that
bombs fell at random , the Germ a n s
though t that "random " was the name
of a town—so the Germans came out
in an official report stating that according to an official British report
bombs fell at Random , England.
"Random Harvest" is the story of a
man who at one time suffered from a
case of amnesia. He was a perfectly
normal Individual until the war of
1914 came along. Ho was serving in
the trenches and was sent out across
no-man 's land in charge of a small
group of men. A shell burs t near him ,
and when he regained consciousness
many years later ho was on a park
bench in Liverpool. Small Incidents
were aways cropping up to remind
him of this period in his life about
which he could remember nothing,
and it became his chief aim in life
to find out about himself during that
period of his life right after the war.
"Random Harvest" la good reading.
It's just the book to take your mind
off these heavy-handed affairs that
are being popularized today, The novel is light , easy reading to be enjoyed
in this war wearied country. The
book has a plot which is novel enough
to bo Intriguing.

Buchheiters
Ready For
Tough Year
Having won nineteen straight dual
meets in the past five years and anxious to retain the State Teachers College crown which they have held for
fo ur successive years , Coach George
Buchheit's '41 track unit face a difficult assignment for the ensuing
months as they prepare for the opening of the coming season with East
Stroudsburg on April 23 on the college terrain.
Sorely missed from last year's excellent track ou tfit will be Dan Kemple and Ken Hippensteel, distance
men. Coach Buchheit will be faced
with * a difficult task in seeking replacements for these two men as well
as a host of others including Harry
Jenkins, hi gh-scorer of last year with
ninety points, who traded his books
for a pair of wings, and Matt Kashuba , star high-jumper . Kashuba in '40
set a new record with a vault of 6 ft.
2 % in. but he failed to return to
school for this term.
A bright spot in the Huskies hopes
for another gala j ourney are lettermen Dan Bonham, a holder of several
state and local college weight records , Howard Tomlinson, John Lavelle , and Walter Reed. These last
three distance men are expected to
carry much of the burden in the longer jaunts.
Promising Newcomers
Other lettermen that will be counted on to carry Bloomsburg to the top
are Don Jenkins and George Spon tak.
These lads excel in the 440 and hurdles with Jenkins doing yeomen's
work in the javelin.
Many promising candidates are
making a determined bid to land a
position of the BSTC varsity track
team. Elwood Wagner, George Hauskneckt, Andy Magill, and Mario Conte are batting it out for top honors
in the pole vault event. A large group
of aspirants in the sprints are attempting to win a place on the squad,
including Barton , Ohl , Doste r, Wearne, and Swisher.
Walter Kania , Hugh Niles, Bud
Dietz, Sworin , Turini , and John Hubiak are among the candidates for
the distance runs. In the middle distance j aunts Egroff , Magill , and

places.

Intra -Mural Standings
Sporting Around _ By Aiex FOSter
While scanning the files of old Bloomsburg Normal publications we came
across some interesting accounts of the athletic contests in those days before
the turn of the twentieth century . Although boasting of a small but highlyspirited student body, the Normal School carried on athletic relations with
such instit utions as Lafayette, University of Pennsylvania , Carlisle Indians,
Bucknell, Gettysburg, and Wyoming Seminary.
During the 1896-1897 season the Normal Court team met Bucknell and
here is an excerpt from the writer's account of the contest. "The game of
Feb. 21 was the most unsatisfactory of the season atlhough it was won by
the home team ( Normal ) by the score of 24-12. The Bucknell umpire- either
did not know the game or else he made up his mind to win this one for his
team. All but one of their twelve baskets were thrown upon fouls. Everyone
knows that the Normal team could hardly make the nineteen fouls he called.
They know the game too well to allow themselves the risk of making so
many."

A glance at the statistics compiled
by the crack BSTC court aggregation
during the recently-completed campaign readily accounts for the neat
record hung up by the Huskies.
Bill Kerchusky, hard-working senior pivot-man , aggregated a total of
241 points for the fourteen-game season while Slim Herr, sharp-shooting
forward, gathered in a grand total of
229 markers to run a close second in
scoring. Herr , additionally made the
best showing from the free throw
lane with 40 conversions out of 59 attempts for a sizeable .678 average.
However Wesley who sported a perfect record and Frank Valente and
Wally Walinchus boasted good averages, but they did not shoot a sufficient number to grab the top rank.
Those mentioned in the rating below participated in sufficient games
and tallied often enough to warrant
their scores. The entire varsity squad
as a complete unit proved to be one
of the highest scoring BSTC basketball teams in many years.

YES, THIS IS

Dr. Nell Maupin of the Social Studies Department went to Atlantic
City to attend a meeting of the International Relations Committee of
which she is a member from Pennsylvania. This committee met at the
Traymore Hotel with Dr. Ben Cherrington as chairman.
The commit tee functions directly
under the National Education Association to give aid in world relationships and understanding. Discussion
of what the different states are doing
in the public schools to stress international attit udes, view points and
understanding led to the conclusion
that all states should greatly increase
their programs. It was suggested that
state associations of education have
an international relations committee
and to print reports in the various
state journals material emphasizing
contacts between the United States
and Latin American countries.
A motion was passed to ask the
Journal of the National Education
Association to devote several pages
of each issue to international prob]em.
Plans are being made to work out
syllabi about various subjects of common interest and to disseminate the
information : to utilize further exchange professorhips and the recognition of credits for university courses
among the nations of North and
South America.
In a world growing daily smaller
good will and understanding is of vital importance to everyone.

North Hall is defi nitely air-minded
these days and the conversation s
among C.A.A. boys in the lobby are
cluttered with aeronautical terms. A
private source has revealed to me
that Dan Bonham refuses to climb
into his upper bunk unless he has his
parachute strapped firmly on , while
his roommate, Therwald Gommer,
insistes upon being called "Ace";
however, some of the boys use a
quaint pronounciation of that word
when refering to Mr. Gommer. You
can 't even make a casual observation
about the weather without being subj ected to a fifteen minute lecture on
clouds, ceiling, wind velocity, and
other phases of meteorology by Stew
Yorks and "Pop" Wesley. Flying may
have its points but for out-and-out
suspense and breath-taking thrills
try riding with Jack Davis in his car ;
"Butch" Wesenyak and "Nazi" Vonderheid will vouch for the authenticity of this statement.
Larry Pape has discovered lately
that when the scheduled time for a
haircut comes around he really does
not need one. In genuine alarm he
has fled to the noted authority on
"Hair—Its Loss and Rej uvenation ",
the man who should know—at least
about the firs t part of the subject ,
George Miller. Having received much
sympathy and little advice from that
source , Larry is getting under way a
"Hair For Larry Pape " movement
afte r the fashion of the "Bundles for
Britain " campaign.
The girl you see Charlie Horn
sporting around has been his secret
passion for many moons. After the
first three years he finally mustered
enough courage to ask her to go out
with him . Charlie's philosophy is,
"Where there's life there's hope ", so
don 't give up hope boys.
We of North Hall are privileged to
live under the same roof with Bill

B.H.S. Choral Grou p
Gives Performance
In a recent meeting of the Poetry
Club , Eleanor Althoff was elected
secretary for the second semester to
replace Barbara Straub who is doing
student teaching.
The executive committee completed the tentative program for the
remainder of the semester. The program will be as follows : Favorite
Story Poems, Record Program , My
America, Easter Poems, Contest and
Party, My Trees in Poetry, May Day
Poems, and the Annual Picnic.
In recent programs of the Poetry
Club, Miss Mason was guest speaker
on "Books on Poetry ", and Mrs. Kline
sponsored her choral reading group
from the Bloomsburg High School.
The choral reading group consisted of
about twenty girls who performed
excellently.
The Poetry Club is anticipating on
holding an assembly program that
will give a variety of talent which is
found among the members of the
organization.

passed by the Council. The suggestion
has been put into the hands of tile
faculty members of the assembly attendance and awaits their approval.
Also under consideration of the assembly committee is the posting of
subsequent programs. The final decision on this action should be forthcoming shortly.
Francis Thomas, chairman of the
social committee is investigating the
possibilities of having movies held in
the auditorium on Saturday nights.
In the past , movies were shown and
proved to be a flop. Attempting to
have movies once again will be a
trial which must succeed or the
whole plan will fall thro ugh quickly.
At the meeting held on March 3, it
was disclosed there is a lack of pencil
sharpeners in the classrooms. The
Council submitted a request for new
sharpeners and the request has already been granted , as you may have
noticed.
The record playing machine used
for after-dinner dancing in the gymnasium is out of order once again.
Rather than spending more money
repairing this old machine, a committee consisting of Walter Mohr,
F ran k Shope , and Bruce Miller has
been appointed to contact dealers of
the commercial "juke boxes" to see
if a new machine can be reasonably
purchased.
As there are many articles in the
lost and found department of the
business office which are not of any
use to the College, the Council is
endeavoring to dispose of them in one
of two ways, either by placing them
on public auction , or by sending them
to Great Britain as a "bundle for
Britain ". The suggestion has been
tabled for further discussion.
Planning for the trip to the convention which Is to be held in New
York City on April 2, 3, 4, is under
the direction of Idajane Snipe. Anyone wishing to attend the convention
should submit his or her name to
Miss Snipe so that if any vacancies
occur, they may be filled.
Appointment of Grace Thomas as
chairman , and Ruth Hope as vicechairman of the point awards committees has been approved.
The Maroon and Gold , as your collego paper, asks for suggestions you
wish to have presented to the council
for consideration. If you as a student ,
formulate a plan or Idea you wish to
have the council act upon , contact
your class representatives; as It is
through the cooperation of both the
students and the representatives that
truo unity of college government exists.

Schedule Released
The C.G.A. will sponsor its ann ual
spring dance in the gymnasium, Saturday evening, March 29. This year's
dance is to be a "Sweater Dance."
All students' will wear sweaters. The
Social Committee suggests that those
who have earned music sweaters or
athletic sweaters, both men and women , should wear them. They will
add color and spirit to the affair.
Jim Deily and his orchestra has

organization is popular on the campus and always assure a fine dancing
program.
All students and faculty are cordially invited to come and enj oy a
pleasant evening of dancing. No outside guests are permitted . Students
