College Community Organizes for Civilian Defense Activities
President Andruss Announces
Three-Year Graduation Plan
National War-Time Emergency
Necessitates Change In
College Curriculum
President Andruss announces that
students will be able to complete the
regular four-year curriculum leading
to the bachelor of science degree in
education in three calendar years under plans recently approved in Harrisburg by the board of presidents
of the various state teachers college.
Exetended Summer Session
For some students this will be
possible by attending three regular
years and two twelve-week summer
sessions.
The new plan adds a three-week
presession to the existing regular sixweek summer session and the th reeweek post-session.
Freshmen will be accepted at the
beginning of any semester or summer
session. Students who do not desire to
follow this throe-year or streamline
curriculum , will be allowed to continue their college education on the
four-year basis.
This three-year program will enable students to begin teaching a year
earlier and will reduce the present
cost by approximately $200 for the
four-year course. This saving, wlien
added to the possibility of earning a
salary of $1,200 per year results in
a net gain of $1,400 for those who
seek to enter the teaching profession
under the three-year plan .
The new plan will enable high
school graduates to begin their college work at the pre-session on June
8. and will provide an opportunity
Tor students to complete a college
education before being called into
service in the armed forces of the
United States.
Dates Set
The college calendar for 1942-43
provides for a pre-session beginni ng
on June 8, ending June 27. The regular summer session will then begin
June 29 and end August 1. This is
followed by a post session beginni ng
August 3 and ending August 22, followed by the regular school year of
two semesters of eighteen weeks
I'uch , beginni ng September 14 and
ending May 25.

In order to beat the January 8,

of the students , because of their ability to procure necessary birth records
at that ti m e , obt ained their essential

Ten of the college birdmen have

a necessity for civilian preparedness.
It will be Dr. Nelon 's j ob to coordinate and expedite the various
activities connected with civilian defense, as they apply to the college
community, in such a manner that
the students may act intelligently
when an emergency arises on this
campus or elsewhere.
This defense council will formulate
rules and regulations concerning
emergency procedures. This plan carried out to its limits will place
Bloomsburg on a level with those of
whom it will be said: "They saw an
emergency and prepared for it."
Immediately following his appoin tment , Dr. Neson set out to obtain this
goal. After determining what activities were of paramount importance
he designated the following committees and committee chairmen to become active immediately :
Air-Raid Committee
An Air Raid Committee is headed
by Mr. William C. Forney who is
assisted by Mr. Earl N . Rhodes. This
committee, no doubt the most important and probably the one to attain the largest size, will be responsible for the formulation of rules and
regulations regarding behavior in
case of an air raid. It will determine
where students are to go, and what
th ey are to do in case of an actual air
raid. It will instruct students in how
to deal with bombs and oth er war
hazards, and will be generally responsible in time of danger.
Mr. Forney, the College Ai r Raid
Warden , has attended classes for air
raid wardens in Harrisburg.

Stopl Look! Think!
Once again we face the problem of ri gid conservation of all
materia ls, not only the materials classed as luxuries but those of the
necessities of life.
We of this freedom loving country h ave come to cl ass t h ese two
wants into one class — the necessities of life. No longer do we place
automobiles , smoking tobacco and silk stockings in a category all their
own. In this modern world these luxuries receive the same recognition
as food, shelter , clothing and health. In order for us to conserve our
needs of life we must begin by conserving our luxuri es.
Should we do without more heat and electricity? No . it would be
inconsistent. We would impair our eyesig ht an d endanger our health.
Why not check the leak y faucets an d the reams of paper we use
monthl y. The saving on these two articles alone are of great aid to
our nation nn d you coul d get along with a smaller supply.
You may think that the small amount of material you use will
not be missed by the national government ; but if 130 ,000,000 peop le
had the same idea , where woul d we stand in this national emergency,
today. So before what ever you use or dispose of . no matter h ow
large or smal l , please take a few minutes to consider its value; because
many things , even our freedom can be lost because somebody didn 't
think.

President Andruss Announces
Three-Year Graduation Plan
National War-Time Emergency
Necessitates Change In
College Curriculum
President Andruss announces that
students will be able to complete the
regular four-year curriculum leading
to the bachelor of science degree in
education in three calendar years under plans recently approved in Harrisburg by the board of presidents
of the various state teachers college.
Exetended Summer Session
For some students this will be
possible by attending three regular
years and two twelve-week summer
sessions.
The new plan adds a three-week
presession to the existing regular sixweek summer session and the th reeweek post-session.
Freshmen will be accepted at the
beginning of any semester or summer
session. Students who do not desire to
follow this throe-year or streamline
curriculum , will be allowed to continue their college education on the
four-year basis.
This three-year program will enable students to begin teaching a year
earlier and will reduce the present
cost by approximately $200 for the
four-year course. This saving, wlien
added to the possibility of earning a
salary of $1,200 per year results in
a net gain of $1,400 for those who
seek to enter the teaching profession
under the three-year plan .
The new plan will enable high
school graduates to begin their college work at the pre-session on June
8. and will provide an opportunity
Tor students to complete a college
education before being called into
service in the armed forces of the
United States.
Dates Set
The college calendar for 1942-43
provides for a pre-session beginni ng
on June 8, ending June 27. The regular summer session will then begin
June 29 and end August 1. This is
followed by a post session beginni ng
August 3 and ending August 22, followed by the regular school year of
two semesters of eighteen weeks
I'uch , beginni ng September 14 and
ending May 25.

a necessity for civilian preparedness.
It will be Dr. Nelon 's j ob to coordinate and expedite the various
activities connected with civilian defense, as they apply to the college
community, in such a manner that
the students may act intelligently
when an emergency arises on this
campus or elsewhere.
This defense council will formulate
rules and regulations concerning
emergency procedures. This plan carried out to its limits will place
Bloomsburg on a level with those of
whom it will be said: "They saw an
emergency and prepared for it."
Immediately following his appoin tment , Dr. Neson set out to obtain this
goal. After determining what activities were of paramount importance
he designated the following committees and committee chairmen to become active immediately :
Air-Raid Committee
An Air Raid Committee is headed
by Mr. William C. Forney who is
assisted by Mr. Earl N . Rhodes. This
committee, no doubt the most important and probably the one to attain the largest size, will be responsible for the formulation of rules and
regulations regarding behavior in
case of an air raid. It will determine
where students are to go, and what
th ey are to do in case of an actual air
raid. It will instruct students in how
to deal with bombs and oth er war
hazards, and will be generally responsible in time of danger.
Mr. Forney, the College Ai r Raid
Warden , has attended classes for air
raid wardens in Harrisburg.

Stopl Look! Think!
Once again we face the problem of ri gid conservation of all
materia ls, not only the materials classed as luxuries but those of the
necessities of life.
We of this freedom loving country h ave come to cl ass t h ese two
wants into one class — the necessities of life. No longer do we place
automobiles , smoking tobacco and silk stockings in a category all their
own. In this modern world these luxuries receive the same recognition
as food, shelter , clothing and health. In order for us to conserve our
needs of life we must begin by conserving our luxuri es.
Should we do without more heat and electricity? No . it would be
inconsistent. We would impair our eyesig ht an d endanger our health.
Why not check the leak y faucets an d the reams of paper we use
monthl y. The saving on these two articles alone are of great aid to
our nation nn d you coul d get along with a smaller supply.
You may think that the small amount of material you use will
not be missed by the national government ; but if 130 ,000,000 peop le
had the same idea , where woul d we stand in this national emergency,
today. So before what ever you use or dispose of . no matter h ow
large or smal l , please take a few minutes to consider its value; because
many things , even our freedom can be lost because somebody didn 't
think.
