Two members of the instructional
staff of B.S.T.C. have recently gone
into War and Defense Activities, according to the announcement of President Harvey A. Andruss.

Mr . A. Park Orth , former instructor in the Department of Commerce,

directly to the B.S.T.C. campus where
the fast rising band will play for the
annual Junior Prom in the new college gymnasium, Friday, May 1.
Dancing will begin at 8 o'clock.
In addition to leading one of the
n ation 's best promising new swing
bands, Stan Kenton will pick the
"Queen" of the Junior Prom from
among twelve co-eds, selected from
the three under-graduate classes.
Men and women in the country
who know their dance bands have
named this band , "The most original
and sensational band in years." Kenton, who has been a featured piano
player with big names in the music
world for a long spell , organized his
band in Hollywood almost a year ago.
Records for Decca
Kenton's initial engagement was at
the Rendevouz in Balboa Beach, California, where he was an instant hit.
Mutual Network officials were en,
thrilled over his new style of music
that they gave him 12 consecutive
weeks of the finest airtime a band
could have from the Pacific Coast.
The result of this airtime was evident
at his first one night stand at the
Glendale Civic Auditorium where he
played to a mob of 3600 happy dancers.
Jack Kapp, president of Decca Records, heard so much about this new
band that he listened to it and immediately signed Kenton to record
for his company exclusively.
Hand-Picked Musicians
On the bandstand Kenton is a dynamic musical conductor with an
abundance of personality. Behind him
are 14 talented musicians and entertai ners which have been hand-picked
from the cream of Hollywood musical
performers.
Besides Red Dorris, Terry Ha rlan
oft times features , and masterfully,
on the vocals. Instrumentalists Jack
Ordean , Marvin George, Howard
Rumsoy, and Chico Alvarez hold the
solo spotlight in the masterful Kenton arrangements.
Kenton , who is now playing nine
Umos weekly over C.B.S., W.A.B.C,
has added a new songstress and this
pretty young lass is expected to sing
out next Friday at the Prom,
In keeping with the national defense effort to save as much paper
as po ssibl e, there will be no lavish
decorations in the spacious new gym.
Instead simplicity will reign with n
novel and artistic display being planncd for the band stand.
Committees Named
George Piaroto , general chairman ,
nnd his committees are doing an excellent j ob in planning to accommodote and please one of the largest

A movie to anticipate is the war
thriller "The Invader ". This picture
was made at the Dcnham St udios in
England and at the Associated Sound
New Studio in Montreal. The cast
includes Leslie Howard, Laurence
Oliver , Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook and the newcomer , Glynis
Johns.
The story dep icts the pursuit of six
survivors fro m an RCAF-bombed
Na2i submarine with the entire country of Canada acting as posse. These
invaders ravage a quiet Eskimo village and murder Laurence Oliver, a
French Canadian trapper. They then
steal an airplane and start for Vancouver where they hope to catch a
Japanese boat . Their plans are foiled
when the plane crashes near a Hutterite settlement . They find these
people are not very receptive so they
head for the United States (this happened before U. S. declaration of war
on Germany) . Each time the invad ers were forced to c;ill a halt , one of
their number was killed. By the time
the U. S. border was reached, the
only survivor was the fanatical leader
who was a good double for the fictituous hero, Superman . Never-the-less,
Raymond Masey took care of him!
The fate of these villians is rather
soothing medicince for our national
headache.

State Teachers College tossers, resTrack Event
plendent with freshman material ,
dropped their season's opener to Lock
Haven Teachers on the lattor 's diamond last Saturday afternoon , 14-2.
Play Stroud Home
The B.S.T.C. nine will ina ugurate
their 1942 home season when the
Huskies play hosts to East Stroudsburg Teachers on Mt. Olympus this
afternoon at 3 o'clock. On Saturday
afternoon the Huskies will meet their
annual rival, the Danville State Hospital, at Dan ville. A large throng of
students and town fans are expected
to witness the clashes.
The Bald Eagles, who swung their
willows with deadly accuracy, pounced on three Husky twirlers without
mercy. Niles and Wanich both toiled
on the mound, but were unable during
their tenure to tame the ruthless
Eagles. Led by Metro , who garnered
three blows, the Lock Haven unit collected a total of 15 safeties for their
*
day's efforts.
Carlisle, a fine freshman product
at second base, and veteran Jake
Trethaway, gabby center-fielder, paced the Huskies 9 hit attack with two
licks each.
Grab Early Lead
Grabbing an early two run lead in
the first frame, the Eagles took an
decided advantage which they increased with increments of one and
six in the second and third innings
respectively. Adding five more for
good measure in the fourth they definately put the contest in cold storage.
The Huskies , who were unable to
bunch their hits effectively, managed
to fashion two single tallies in the
third and fifth innings.
Potter and Daley, remembered for
their work in court togs against the
Hu skies , handcuffed the Huskies with
their steady and clever hurling.
Howev er, the stute "Doc" Nelson
expects to have his club in winning
mood for this afternoon 's skirmish.
He will either send Bill Wanich, ace
fireball artist , or southpaw Hugh
Niles to the hill against the Big Red,
who recently opened a 12-0 encounter
to Seton Hall.

Prospects Uncovered In Annual
Intro-mural Track Meet
Some very likely looking prospects
were uncovered last week as the
j uniors led in the intra-m ural track
and field meet by scoring 42 points.
The freshmen and sophomores each
had 33 markers.
Walinchus headed the j uniors by
finishing firs t in the 100-yard dash ,
the 100-yard low hurdles , and the
broad ju mp. Don Raab captured two
events, taking first in both the shot
put and the j avelin.
Cliesney's 9 feet , 6 inches was good
enough to win the pole vaulting event ,
and Husovsky and Hendricks, both
j uniors, led in the discus and the 440yard dash respectively.
Two freshmen won events in the
meet. John Magill ran a 5.06.9 mile to
take tha t even, and Bunge jumped 5
feel 4 inches to win the high jump.

Former B.S.T.C. Slugger Jumps
To .276 in Batting Column
Danny Litvvhiler erstwhile BSTC
slugger j umped from .180 to .276 in
the batting column during the past
week. Including Sunday 's games, Litwhiler has hit safely thirteen times
in forty-eight trips to the dish for
a neat .276 average and has clouted
three home runs to tie for the National League lead.
Li t vvhiler, who finished last season
with a .309 batti ng average, stated
on his last visit here "that a man
cannot be struck out. " Danny went
on to say that the wiffing comes
about because a player takes his eye
off the ball too quickly.
Rumors earlier in the spring training season indicated that "Dangerous
Dan", as he is tabbed by National
League pitchers, might be traded to
Brooklyn , because the Phils' treasury
needed a life , but "Hans" Lobert killed it by saying that no such idea
existed.

Loss of four stellar performers of
last year—Bonham , Jenkins, Egroff ,
and Reed—would seem to make the
coming Husky track season veryblack, but under the direction of
Coach George C, Buchheit the local
collegians will be in good position to
take their share of honors.
Bonham graduated; Jenkins left
school at mid-semester; and Egroff
and Reed did not return to school
last fall . These four boys tallied 40
out of 59 V-i points the Huskies had
in the state meet last spring.
Depend on Kashuba, Spontak
Buchheit will depend largely upon
Matt Kashuba and George Spontak
to carry the load this season. Kashuba will enter in the hurdles, broad
j ump, weights, and , of course, the
high jump. His recent jump of 6 feet,
4Vi inches broke his own record for
the college. Spontak will take part in
the sprints , hurdles , and weights.
Other veterans who are expected to
do much are: John Hubiak , Hugh
Niles, Larry Doster , Vince Washvilla , and Walter Kania. Niles, a good
two miler, is out for baseball, but he
is expected to be ready for the opener. Bonner, of East Stroudsburg, was

will appear in this department. Hendricks and H. Miller, both upperclassmen , and John Magill, Zweizig, Lavelle , and McCracken, all freshmen,
are other candidates.
Walinchus, Doster, and Swisher, all
fast men, should go places in the
sprin ts. Don Raab has shown that
he can get along with the best in the
weights. Chesney and Conti along
with Bunge, a n ewcomer, will take
care of the pole vaulting. Kashuba,
Walnch us, Doste r, and Bunge are out
for the broad jump.
22 Victories
The Huskies have a long string of
twenty-two consecutive victories over
a six year period in dual competition.
In commenting upon the season,
Coach Buchheit asserted: "We h ave
lost quite a few stars, but we hope
to win the East Stroudsburg meet to

West Chester won the stale title

- LITE WITH UNCLE ¦
By Irvine T. Gottlieb
Already, many of our Bloomsburg
men have been drafted into the armed forces of our country. Today, tomorrow , and in the days to come ,
many more of us will be called upon
to do our part . Our college education may cease temporari ly, but our
education goes on and on. We learn
by experience and travel—the service
offers both .
That age old say ing, 'Join the Army
and see the world ,' isn 't a jok e anymore — it's a reality. More than
ever before , our fighting men are
being transferred from camp to camp,
from city to city, from state to state ,
and from country to country. That is
travel coupled with experience.
Speaking of travel and experience ,
suppose we let the fellows speak for
themselves.

Two members of the instructional
staff of B.S.T.C. have recently gone
into War and Defense Activities, according to the announcement of President Harvey A. Andruss.

Mr . A. Park Orth , former instructor in the Department of Commerce,

directly to the B.S.T.C. campus where
the fast rising band will play for the
annual Junior Prom in the new college gymnasium, Friday, May 1.
Dancing will begin at 8 o'clock.
In addition to leading one of the
n ation 's best promising new swing
bands, Stan Kenton will pick the
"Queen" of the Junior Prom from
among twelve co-eds, selected from
the three under-graduate classes.
Men and women in the country
who know their dance bands have
named this band , "The most original
and sensational band in years." Kenton, who has been a featured piano
player with big names in the music
world for a long spell , organized his
band in Hollywood almost a year ago.
Records for Decca
Kenton's initial engagement was at
the Rendevouz in Balboa Beach, California, where he was an instant hit.
Mutual Network officials were en,
thrilled over his new style of music
that they gave him 12 consecutive
weeks of the finest airtime a band
could have from the Pacific Coast.
The result of this airtime was evident
at his first one night stand at the
Glendale Civic Auditorium where he
played to a mob of 3600 happy dancers.
Jack Kapp, president of Decca Records, heard so much about this new
band that he listened to it and immediately signed Kenton to record
for his company exclusively.
Hand-Picked Musicians
On the bandstand Kenton is a dynamic musical conductor with an
abundance of personality. Behind him
are 14 talented musicians and entertai ners which have been hand-picked
from the cream of Hollywood musical
performers.
Besides Red Dorris, Terry Ha rlan
oft times features , and masterfully,
on the vocals. Instrumentalists Jack
Ordean , Marvin George, Howard
Rumsoy, and Chico Alvarez hold the
solo spotlight in the masterful Kenton arrangements.
Kenton , who is now playing nine
Umos weekly over C.B.S., W.A.B.C,
has added a new songstress and this
pretty young lass is expected to sing
out next Friday at the Prom,
In keeping with the national defense effort to save as much paper
as po ssibl e, there will be no lavish
decorations in the spacious new gym.
Instead simplicity will reign with n
novel and artistic display being planncd for the band stand.

A movie to anticipate is the war
thriller "The Invader ". This picture
was made at the Dcnham St udios in
England and at the Associated Sound
New Studio in Montreal. The cast
includes Leslie Howard, Laurence
Oliver , Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook and the newcomer , Glynis
Johns.
The story dep icts the pursuit of six
survivors fro m an RCAF-bombed
Na2i submarine with the entire country of Canada acting as posse. These
invaders ravage a quiet Eskimo village and murder Laurence Oliver, a
French Canadian trapper. They then
steal an airplane and start for Vancouver where they hope to catch a
Japanese boat . Their plans are foiled
when the plane crashes near a Hutterite settlement . They find these
people are not very receptive so they
head for the United States (this happened before U. S. declaration of war
on Germany) . Each time the invad ers were forced to c;ill a halt , one of
their number was killed. By the time
the U. S. border was reached, the
only survivor was the fanatical leader
who was a good double for the fictituous hero, Superman . Never-the-less,
Raymond Masey took care of him!
The fate of these villians is rather
soothing medicince for our national
headache.

State Teachers College tossers, resTrack Event
plendent with freshman material ,
dropped their season's opener to Lock
Haven Teachers on the lattor 's diamond last Saturday afternoon , 14-2.
Play Stroud Home
The B.S.T.C. nine will ina ugurate
their 1942 home season when the
Huskies play hosts to East Stroudsburg Teachers on Mt. Olympus this
afternoon at 3 o'clock. On Saturday
afternoon the Huskies will meet their
annual rival, the Danville State Hospital, at Dan ville. A large throng of
students and town fans are expected
to witness the clashes.
The Bald Eagles, who swung their
willows with deadly accuracy, pounced on three Husky twirlers without
mercy. Niles and Wanich both toiled
on the mound, but were unable during
their tenure to tame the ruthless
Eagles. Led by Metro , who garnered
three blows, the Lock Haven unit collected a total of 15 safeties for their
*
day's efforts.
Carlisle, a fine freshman product
at second base, and veteran Jake
Trethaway, gabby center-fielder, paced the Huskies 9 hit attack with two
licks each.
Grab Early Lead
Grabbing an early two run lead in
the first frame, the Eagles took an
decided advantage which they increased with increments of one and
six in the second and third innings
respectively. Adding five more for
good measure in the fourth they definately put the contest in cold storage.
The Huskies , who were unable to
bunch their hits effectively, managed
to fashion two single tallies in the
third and fifth innings.
Potter and Daley, remembered for
their work in court togs against the
Hu skies , handcuffed the Huskies with
their steady and clever hurling.
Howev er, the stute "Doc" Nelson
expects to have his club in winning
mood for this afternoon 's skirmish.
He will either send Bill Wanich, ace
fireball artist , or southpaw Hugh
Niles to the hill against the Big Red,
who recently opened a 12-0 encounter
to Seton Hall.

Some very likely looking prospects
were uncovered last week as the

Walinchus headed the j uniors by

To .276 in Batting Column
Danny Litvvhiler erstwhile BSTC
slugger j umped from .180 to .276 in
the batting column during the past
week. Including Sunday 's games, Litwhiler has hit safely thirteen times
in forty-eight trips to the dish for
a neat .276 average and has clouted
three home runs to tie for the National League lead.
Li t vvhiler, who finished last season
with a .309 batti ng average, stated
on his last visit here "that a man
cannot be struck out. " Danny went
on to say that the wiffing comes
about because a player takes his eye
off the ball too quickly.
Rumors earlier in the spring training season indicated that "Dangerous
Dan", as he is tabbed by National
League pitchers, might be traded to
Brooklyn , because the Phils' treasury
needed a life , but "Hans" Lobert killed it by saying that no such idea
existed.

Loss of four stellar performers of
last year—Bonham , Jenkins, Egroff ,
and Reed—would seem to make the
coming Husky track season veryblack, but under the direction of
Coach George C, Buchheit the local
collegians will be in good position to
take their share of honors.
Bonham graduated; Jenkins left
school at mid-semester; and Egroff
and Reed did not return to school
last fall . These four boys tallied 40
out of 59 V-i points the Huskies had
in the state meet last spring.
Depend on Kashuba, Spontak
Buchheit will depend largely upon
Matt Kashuba and George Spontak
to carry the load this season. Kashuba will enter in the hurdles, broad
j ump, weights, and , of course, the
high jump. His recent jump of 6 feet,
4Vi inches broke his own record for
the college. Spontak will take part in
the sprints , hurdles , and weights.
Other veterans who are expected to
do much are: John Hubiak , Hugh
Niles, Larry Doster , Vince Washvilla , and Walter Kania. Niles, a good
two miler, is out for baseball, but he
is expected to be ready for the opener. Bonner, of East Stroudsburg, was

Walinchus, Doster, and Swisher, all
fast men, should go places in the

he can get along with the best in the

The Huskies have a long string of
twenty-two consecutive victories over

- LITE WITH UNCLE ¦
By Irvine T. Gottlieb
Already, many of our Bloomsburg
men have been drafted into the armed forces of our country. Today, tomorrow , and in the days to come ,
many more of us will be called upon
to do our part . Our college education may cease temporari ly, but our
education goes on and on. We learn
by experience and travel—the service
offers both .
That age old say ing, 'Join the Army
and see the world ,' isn 't a jok e anymore — it's a reality. More than
ever before , our fighting men are
being transferred from camp to camp,
from city to city, from state to state ,
and from country to country. That is
travel coupled with experience.
Speaking of travel and experience ,
suppose we let the fellows speak for
themselves.

son of a Lieutenant Colonel who is
head of the Selective Service of
Massachusetts) ; and the last is from
Southington , Connecticut. "
