Discuss Problems Relevant to
Social Rooms, Athletics
and Finances
A student delegation consisting of
Boyd F. Buckingham, Ruth Ebright,
Joanna Fice, Jeanne Knight, Winton
Laubach, Louise Madl, Harold Miller,
George Miller and Miss Ranson traveled to Mansfield to attend the Fifth
Annual Conference of Associated Student Governments of the State Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania held at
Mansfield State Teachers College on
November 13 and 14, 1942.
The two-day program began with
an Open Meeting at 10:00 A. M.s Friday, followed by panel discussions in
the morning and afternoon. That
evening the delegation enj oyed a
dance at the Student Center and were
admitted as guests of the college to a
movie in Straughn Hall.
Saturday morning after some campus tours, final meetings were held
and a summary of the panel discussions was given. In the afternoon the
delegates attended the Lock HavenMansfield football game and in the
evening they were again college
guests at a concert given by the Don
Cossack Russian Chorus.
Some of the more pertinent subjects
of discussion were:
College spirit and tradition—how itj
should be promoted.
Work of Faculty Advisers, Club
Membership, and Office Holding and
Problems of Student Councils.
On the last subj ect, Bloomsburg
presented its problem in getting social rooms, while others presented
their problems in athletic and finances. Some of the other problems were
centered about curtailing social programs or extending them to include
more than just the week-end—a condition exactly opposite that existing
in Bloomsburg.
Jeanne Knight led the general discussion on War Activities on the College Campus and from all indications
Bloomsburg is doing a fine jo b with
its Men-In-Service Committee, its
weekly paper, its First Aid Classes
and its War Stamp Sales.

Community Government Council
held its regular meeting in the social
rooms of Noetling Hall on the evening
of November 16, 1942.
The business meeting began with a
discussion and revision of the policy
concerning girl cheer leaders. It was
suggested that C. G. A. provide in its
budget for next semester for outfits
for the cheer leaders. It was further
suggested that the cheer leaders provide their own outfit this semester.
The policy was unanimously accepted
and it was voted that the policy as
accepted be submitted to President
Andruss for his approval.
The president announced that the
gym would be open from 12:00 noon
to 9:30 P. M., and at the end of the
month the deans would give their decisions regarding this arrangement.
A heated discussion followed concerning social problems centered
about the cadets on campus, but the
matter was dropped when Mr. Koch
said he would take care of the Situation
It was further announced that President Andruss would open a room to
be used as a social room for the remainder of the semester during which
time the students are on trial. The
council and the student body will be
responsible for the care and management of the room and for proper conduct.
A report of the C. G. A. meeting
held at Mansfield was scheduled for

DORM GIRLS—LISTEN

Say, who said it's a man 's world!
Whoever did, must never have been to
Bloomsburg. And after January
comes around and Uncle Sam gets a
lot more of our college f ellows, the
girls are going to have more and more
to do with making Bloomsburg run.
When the fellows leave, and of course
we all hate to see them go, the girls
like to feel they are doing their patriotic bit, too, for their country.
Here are just a few of the things
the girls in the dorm are doing: First,
there is that little thing called morale.
One of the .best ways to keep it is to
write letters . And that is j ust what
the girls are doing. Bill and Charlie
have quite a pile of letters to post
every night for the giris—and a high
percentage are going to our boys.

MISS BAILEY ADDRESSES
BUSINESS ED. CLU B

Miss Harriet Bailey, local attorney
and Columbia County Solicitor, addressed the Business Education Club
at its meeting on November 19, in the
social rooms of Noetling Hall.
Miss Bailey spoke on "What is Expected of- the Graduate When He Enters the Business World." A timely
and interesting subj ect in which Miss
Bailey discussed her own experiences
and observations.
Some of the points of advice that
were given the members were that
•each person should have a great ambition for some particular thing and
strive to succeed in it. There is no
time for rest in this, world, you must
work for you only get a return equal
to your effort. You should learn to
accurately j udge people, and be careful with whom you deal.
Miss Bailey also discussed personal
dress in the business world and the
common and most noticeable shortcomings of the teaching profession, as
a remedy for which she suggested
more participation and cooperation in
civic affairs.

After a laborious summer of working and seeing his pile of "frogskins"
grow, each Dayman grudgingly loosened his wad to get "book larnin"
here at B. S. T. C.
Most of the card sharks of a year
ago have relinquished their coveted
positions to Rabb, Vast ine, Magill and
Company, "Coonsey" Diltz, and last ,
but not least, the president of the
Daymen, Winton "Speed" Laubach.
The Dayroom ha s been brightened
considerably by the exotic, alluring
and captivating picture of Rita Hayworth. The picture is dedicated to
the fighting Daymen all over the
world. Some kind soul was thoughtful enought to cut it out of a . magazine.
The "Black Hole of Calcutta " is
daily inhabited by Schleider, "PrettyBoy" Bunge, Miller, "Spreader " McCutcheon and Conrad. McCutcheon
enthralls Ms audience with his thrilling episodes experienced in flying and
student teaching.
Since "Customs* are ov er and the

"Skully" Smith booming orders, they
are beginning to converse in the "Dayroom Language." It goes "Dear me,
I've had such a piteous hand all

can you keep winnig?"
Don't think the Daymen only play
cards, some are proficient in the art
of playing soccer and some are members of different organizations on the
campus. The Magills, "Andy " and
b a by brot h er "Johnny," "Patrick"
Klin e, Leon Hartman, "Don " Rabb,
and "Skip " Hartman have earned letters in soccer. Besides these activities
many of the fellows are members of
the Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity and the
other organizations. "Al" Woodring
and Royal Conrad harmonize on the
"licorice sticks ," while McCracken

weeks ago, thoughts are turning to
the basketball camp aign just a few
weeks away. Coach Buchheit will be
well blessed with veterans this season, and Husky court fans will be
counting on another good quintet.
Under Coach Buchheit, Bloomsb urg
has been on an exceptionally high
level, and for the last five years the
Huskies have had no more than five
defeats in any one season. Last year
the record was 8 wins and 4 losses.
In each of these past years the Huskies lost the title by one or two games.
This is the year for the State Teachers College Crown to visit Bloomsburg.
Five varsity veterans remaining
who played all o*r much of last year
are: Chesney, McClosky, P ufnak , Valente and Washvilla. Others also
with varsity experience are: Bomboy,
Shearer a n d Niles. This roster along
with other boys expected to report
ought to be good enough to take any
Teacher College team over the eoalg.
Lock Haven football fans are still
wondering what happened to their
Bald Eagles last Saturday when they
were held to a 6-6 tie by Mansfield.
The week before Mansfield was
soundly trounced by Indiana 33-0,
who in September lost to Lock Haven,
21-7. Probably the Bald Eagles were
worn out from the West Chester tilt.
This fray just about spelled doom
for Lock Haven in their quest for the
mythical title. East Stroudsburg came
up with a surprising 26-0 win over
West Chester which virtually clinches the crown for the Big Red. West
Chester was beaten by its own game
as the Pocono boys scored three of
their four touchdowns by way of the
aerial route. "Pistol Pete" Pasko,
"that man again " tallied one of East
Stroud's six pointers. Pasko plays

Sources from East Stroud say that
four of last year's starting five will
be back defending the basketball title
. . . Pasko, Mascavage, Sager and
Ford. Bob Dixque is the only member not back. Two western Pennsylvania college soccer teams, Grove
City and Slippery Rock, both experimenting recently with soccer, staged
a game last Friday with Grove City
winning, 2-0 . . . It is probable that
all of the 13 State Teachers Colleges
in the conferences will continue basb-afVioll

Kutztown's gridiron team, h eld
scoreless since 1940 until October 31
when they took Indiantown Gap, apparently liked the idea of scoring.
The following week the Berks County
boys tallied another six points although losing to Clarion 19-6.
ODDITIES OF SPORTS—Scoring
in football is very peculiar, and when
Georgetown won over Temple 3-2, in
1939 it was only the third time in the
last fifteen years that such a §cor©
was posted . . . Just two weeks ago
two small midwest colleges met.
Grinnell, Iowa, took Hipon, 50-25 to
make it sound like basketball.

open, a battle royal is expected as
the initial game nears.
Tony Petro, Roland Kemler, Ted
J ur asik , Clifton Skow, Bob Taylor
