FRESHMEN
W el come . New Students, B.S.T.C. extends the rig ht hand of
friendship to you.
To a greeting , a response is due. We are looking forwar d to one
from you. Already you have made attempts at one , but your complete
response does not come until you leave the school. Even then you will
still be making responses , an d will continue to do so until you pass
from this earth.
We , the students of B.S.T.C, hope you will absorb the Bloomsburg spirit earl y an d be one of us.
LEST WE FORGET
Once again students , parents, alumni , an d friends of this great
institution of ours gather to celebrate the annual Homecoming Day.
But under what altered and rapidly chang ing circumstances '. Familiar
and strange faces will pass among us , faces marked with the story of
success at a price, faces marked with disappointment , with sorrow ,
wit h bewilderment. These we shall see and these we shall try to consol e or comp liment as the case may be , but what about the familiar
faces that are absent? Yes, what about them? Shall we go on in our
merriment of the moment heedless of the fact that many who would
h ave b een among us , many who wante d to be with us , are not ?
Lest we f orget l et us g ive heed:
For fifty-seven years our Lady of Liberty has stood in New York
harbor symbolizing those hi g h princip les for which our forefathers had
f oug ht in 1776. Once again the time has come when those dearly
loved princip les are in danger , when the hand of the strong and the
ungo dly is inflicting suffering and sorrow upon a bewildered and
chaotic world. And once again the call to defend our principles has
been issued and answered.
Absent from our midst are the graduates and undergraduates who
have answered this call. Absent to prepare to defend those ideals we
all love so well! Is it not well! Is it not well that we pause somewhere
in the course of this jubilant day and give our homage and respect
to the men who are in the service and to the men who have died in that
service? Those men who left their homes, their beloved ones, and the
opportu nity to live n peaceful life to answer the grim call of preparedness—preparedness for war , for hardships even for death. For them
and for ourselves, let us this day pray to the God of Peace!

THREE PORTRAITS
by Emil Ludwiii

Mr. Ludwig has i wr itte n t his book
describing the three European dictators not because ho is in favor of
I heir policies , bu t because ho is interested in their characters , since our
l ate today depends , in part , on them ,
Ho knows two of the dictators from
personal conversations , the t hi r d by
description , but he is against all three
because they are nU against freedom.
Those three personalities are ns
various as their alms. Mussolini is
the most interesting personality, but
Stalin 's aims are more interesting
than those of tho other two ,
According to Mr. Ludwig, Mussolini , with his Caosarean hond, is at
first glance the Roman dictator. Even
Stalin hns the expression of a coherent personality. But none of the famous men of our day look so insignificant as Adolf Hitler. Max von Grubor, a Professor at the University of
Munich , stated that Hitler had tho
"expression not of a man exorcising

authorit y in self-command, but of
raving excitement. At tho end of
satisfied egotism."
In a comparison of tho three dictators, wo see first a common will to
power which suffers no scruples, annihilates every enemy, knows no morality, mercy or chivalry. Hence the
end of freedom for all they govern ,
tho stifling of all virile contradiction ,
the contempt for tho masses, tho
persecution of intellect.
Comparing their characters , Hie
three men share three doep-soated
traits: a small capacity for love, a
groat capacity for hate, and an eminent nnd unquenchable belief in themselves,
Other traits divide them Into throe
groups , and wo find Stalin tho only
man of conviction , Mussolini the only
strong personality, and I-Ittlor tho only lunatic.

Youthful laughing memories
Linger still.

They mellow with the years.

Where the tower clock strikes off the

institution , grabbed some more laurels by copping several noteworthy
places in the discus and javelin events
in competition with the most colorf ul
and most outstanding track stars of
the country when the Forty-Fort ace
participated in the National A.A.U.
track championships at Franklin
Field in Philadelphia. The former
Husky track star featured in both the
Junior and Senior divisions of the
gigantic track carnival.
Bonham, in the junior division,
heaved the discus 140 ft. 3Vs inches
to place thi rd behind Ed Beetem,
representing the University of Pennsylvania. This was a remarkable feat
since the cream of the nation were
taki ng part in this event. Danny
qualified in the shotput but was unable to place in th at event; he failed
to qualify for the j avelin.
In the senior sector, Bonham, who
wore the colors of Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, qualified for the
j avelin with a toss of 186 ft. and then
came back to whirl the skinny-stick
a distance of 197 ft. 5 in. for a fifth
spot in the final readings.
Danny was the firs t track athlete
from this college ever to take part
in this star-studded track meet.
B.S.T.C. was the only teachers college
listed on the results arid this college
through the work of its stalwart athlet e , compiled a team score of six
points, heading several other larger
schools.

BOOTERS CLIMAX
AT LOCK HAVEN
HOPE TO CLOSE WITH
WIN OVER BALD EAGLES
Hoping to climax the season with a
fair record, the Bloomsburg S. T, C.
bootors will end their campaign by
meeting Lock Haven 's Bald Eagles
away, November 15. The Huskies
were boaton by the Bald Eagles last
week 3-2, but they hope to avenge
that defeat with a clean-out victory.
Over a period of four years, the
Huskies have a decided edge over tho
Havenites and the setback last week
was somewhat stunning. Pete Wisher
has his boys in fine shape and tho
team will probably roach its peak
for this gamo. Ono of tho handicaps
of the current season has been tho
slowness of the boys to round into
form, duo to tho late start of tho
college year.

WELCOME GRADS to another
Homecoming Day football tussle here
at Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Today's gridiron battle , featuring the BSTC "Huskies" and Kutztown , has all the earmarks of another bell-ringer. Those of ypu who
were fort unate enough to witness
the Huskies stunning 25-14 victory
over Shippensbu rg last year can expect another dramatic scrap to unfold this P.M. on Mt. Olympus.
Neither club has recorded a single
touchdown and both will be primed
to snare their No. 1 conquest of the
'41 season. So by all means, prepare
yourself for one of the most tense
struggles you have yet to witness
this year.
The Hu skies , under the guiding
hand of Coaeh George C. Buchheit ,
have failed to impress their following
with those prized bundles of cherished wins, but they will be set to prove
to every spectator , young- and old
alike , that they can produce the
goods. This column .calls for a victory
providing the Maroon and Gold
Gladiators fulfill their treasured
threats against the rugged Kutztown eleven.
* * *
WORKING W ITH ONE OF THE
SMALLEST SQUADS in the history
of the sport at BSTC, Coach Buchheit has a team that regardless of
their past can light the torch of victory that will be long remembered.
The student body is behind the team ,
win , lose , or draw , and we suggest
tha t you grads sing the praises of
the team as loud as the strength of
your vocal cords will allow. An occasional handshake or word of encouragement to the team, before they
take to battle, will do much to inspire
the lads.
« * *
AN OPEN LETTER TO BILL
JEFFRIES, the s u ccessf u l Penn
State soccer coach. It is true, without
question , that within the portals of
Penn State you have one of the finest soccer records ever compiled by
any eleven in the country, but we
contend that to further prove your
strength and supremacy on the Eastern soccer front you arrange a game
or two with either East Stroudsburg
or West Chester. We believe that
these two teachers college teams are
probably as good a team as you can
find along the Atlantic seaboard.
Of course, we also realize that
Penn State would hazard their fine
rating by chancing a meeting with a
teachers college aggregation. However, it is yet to be proven in my
books that some of the so-called
powerhouses in the liberal arts colleges have it all over those of us who
reside in the rank of tenchors colleges. They migh t give you the surprise of your life , Mr. Jeffries!
* * *

MAKING THE ROUNDS . .. The
twonty T three man football squad nt
BSTC has an aggregated weight
which totals slightly over two tons, to
be exact 110 lbs. over. The average
weight per man Is 178 pounds. . . .
Kutztown 's basketball card opens up
early In December with Albright ,
Newark University, Blue Ridge, and
Ithaca among those listed, . . Take It
from Mr. Nugent—Turn a deaf ear
to those reports that Danny Litwhilor, our famed alumnus, will be Bold
before spring. . .

FOR MER STUDENTS WRITE ABOUT
EXPERIENCES IN THE SERVICE
by IRVING T. GOTTLIEB

Writing this column is proving to
bo one of the most enjoy able things
I have ever attempted. Letters received from B.S.T.C. students of last
year are the most interesting I have
ever read.
At the present time, we have heard
from only a few of "our boys" in the
service ; but the next issue of the
"Maroon and Gold" will contain a
f u ll roll -call . Let the boys speak for
themselves. . . .

Walter Reed:
"You are probably interested about
Ihe life down here. Well , we go to bed
at 9:45 p.m. and get up at the ungodl y hour of 5:30 a.m . We have three
c lasses in Ihe morning, and fly in the
afternoon one week and then the
opposite the next week. We have
classes to attend. Yes, and plenty of
work , too! The classes consist of the
study of engines, math (algebra , trig onometry, logarithm , and slide rule ) ,
and the theory of Ilight on aerodyna mics.
"Recently, while (lying, I had a
thrilling experience . I was going into
a spin at 5,000 foot! Somehow, 1

Think American!!

Two weeks ago under the direction
of Miss Marguerite Murphy the
Poetry Club journeyed to China. Miss
Murphy emphasized the importance
of poetry in the life of the Chinese.
She said in part that poetry has enabled the Chinese to endure the hardshi ps and suffering of war, tha t every
statesman must not only be able to
recite at least three hundred poems,
but he must be able to write poetry.
Poetry plays so important a part in
the daily life of the Chinese that most
of their activities seem to move to its
rhythm . For example when a person
dies the family hires mourners to
shout verses through the street while
the body is taken to the cemetery .
The richer the family, the more
mourners.
Miss Murphy brought with her pictures and souvenirs to add interest.
To show us that life in China was
not all poetry, Miss Bryner road a
recent letter from a missionary
friend whose work takes her among
the lepers. This letter was twelve
weeks on the way and cost eight dollars to send.
Last week the Poetry Club return ed to the U.S.A. spending the hour
reading Carl Sandburg's "GoodMorning, America".
This week they go a'hallowe'ening.
Original verse will be in order with
games appropriate to the season .

Theodore Harvvood:
"You kids at B.S.T.C. think you 're

get a load of this: For the past four
weeks , I've attended seven classes a
day! Our instructors arc tops. Each
one is a specialist and wizard , too , in
his subj ect. In the morning I attend
medical classes. During the afternoon ,
I go to business administration classes , the text being used is called
"Company and Personnel Administra tion ."
"After the comp letion of this
course , I'll be attached to a Personnel
Organization as a j unior clerk . Here
I'll serve a few months as an understudy to someone who knows the
ropes . I should learn quite a bit because I'll be circulated from department to depart ment until I get the
hang of things . I hope I'll get a pro motion fro m junior clerk after a few
months. School ends in a few more
days .
ODDS AND ENDS

The following is a list of fellows ,
where they are located , and what
they are doing. No correspondence
has been eceived as yet from them
so it is impossible to give more than
the information listed above. In the
next issue of the "Maroon and Gold"
though , there will be write -ups for all
of them .

SUBSTI TU TE TEACHE R

Dorothy J. Savage, a graduate of
the class of 1941, is now acting as a
substitute commercial teacher in the
high school at Berwick. Miss Savage
is replacing Byron Shiner who is now
serving in the United States Army.

In the past few months the buildings and camp us of B.S.T.C. have
benefited from an extensive improvement program directed by Mr. Nevin
T. Englehart , superintendent of
buildi ngs and grounds. The most extensive improvement was the installation of a modern, underground , electric current transmission system
which is expected to deliver balanced
circuits of current and should also
effect considerable saving in the cost
of electric current.
A chain link fence, approximately
2,800 feet long has been erected
around the athl etic field with provisions being made for gateways from
the parking area on the east side of
the new gymnasium.
Improvements have also been made
to the interiors of the various buildings. New Venetian blinds adorn the
wi ndows of the administrative offices
on the fi rst floor of Waller Hall. New
flooring of asphalt tile and new furniture adds to the attractiveness of the
social rooms of Science Hall .
