Fashion Front
Perhaps we haven't thought about
it very much, but there are some
changes being made along the fashion
front this season. Here are a few
things for the co-eds to expect:
Last year 's Easter costume won't be
out of style this year—among the few
men styles are shorter j ackets and
the empire silhouette, both fashion
right and economical. You have the
word of the War Production Board
for it.
Metal fasteners are short. Use of
button closings is being urged by
WPB , which points out that a sizable
stock of fresh water pearl buttons is
available . They dye satisfactorily.
Dyestuffs are likely to be curtailed.
Consequently , WPB advises against
black, dark gr een, or brown for summer sheers. Denim, seersuckers,
sheetings and corduroy are needed
for work clothes. But percales, print
cloths, broadcloths and organdy are
not as tight. However, WPB advises
against cotton evening clothes this
year, as cottons will be needed more
for day-time wear.
As to those stockings, to come back
to an old war-torn friend—rayons
still will be available but not as satisfactory in very sheer weights as in
heavier. Use of at least 100 denier is
advocated by WPB.

the Huskies were in front 22-19 and

Led by Washvilla and Slegeski , the

Husky five protected the first half
lead and built up the margin to a safe
point during the last twenty minutes.
The two scoring aces, Washvilla and
Slegeski, accounted for thirty-one of

Maroon and Gold club.
The Bloomsburfl defense displayed
by far the best exhibition all year in

With the passing of the Air Cor ps Reserves fr om the campus, the
curtain will just about completely be lowered over the athletic picture here so far as inter- collegiate athl etics are concern ed. The only
possible answer to save almost any . college from erasin g athletics
from the calendar is the use of students sent by the Army and Navy
? to various institutions for technic al trainin g. The
arm y has turn ed
thumbs down on any such proposal, but the navy has agreed with the
idea. So far as the outlook for Teachers Colleges is concerned , few
have been designated for ar my or navy centers. Here the picture may
not be so gloomy because this college has been a navy center and if
any system can be worked out at all, inter-colle giate athletics may
not be entirely bla cked out.
# *****
Unless some sort of a plan is worked out, the last B. S. T. C. athletic event with other colleges will be the two basketball games this
week-end. Even then the quintet will be short hand ed. As for the
Sprin g program , enough boy s will not be available for track or baseball teams. About thirt y boys remain as regular students and .of those
at the most only fifteen would be available for competition. Had B. S.
T. C. been able to muster a baseball team together , the nine would
have had some excellent experience from the Scranto n Red Sox of
the Eastern League, who will train at Athletic Park this Sprin g.

LIFE WITH UNCLE
by B. W. Kane
Whether it be with the furniture of
a room or the items of a column, an
occasional change in order and arrangement is always helpful in preventing monotony ; so for the sake of
variety this week, we'll insert a few
informational facts of general interest
which were sent to us by the Miami
Herald publication.
Health in Africa
Despite the fact that U. S. troops
have been through the worst rainy
season North Africa has had in years,
the sick rate is little more than one
per cent, according to Maj. Gen.
James C. Magee, army 'surgeon gen eral. Malaria and venereal diseases
are the main medical problems, he
stated; but preventive measures are
adopted by army medicos and have
been almost completely successful in
combating, malaria, and cooperation
among soldiers, military and civilian
authorities will cut the V. D. rate.
The American soldier doesn't lmve
typhus because he's a clean soldier,
General Magee declared: "Vaccines
retard the disease, but . . . control of
typhus depends on cleanliness."

?? Dear Charlie: .
in f ormation flying, and they are easy
to keep in position.
From here I go into Squadron III
which is the instrument squadron
which means flying under hood. They
say if a cadet can keep from getting
killed in Squadron II and keep from
going crazy in Squadron III, he has
a good chance to get his wings.. If I
can keep from going crazy, maybe
I'll finish.
Tomorrow I go up to 46,000 feet
(approximately 8 miles) for a pressure chamber hop, for . the Navy
wants to know how we react under
reduced pressure. When up to 28,000
feet, I felt nothing different except
the reduced pressure on my ears, but
on the way down, I got a sharp piercing pain in my right ear. This hap pened because I did not equalize the
pressure in my ears by swallowing.
I'll know better on the next hop.
If a student fails in this hop, that
is if he gets the "bends ," takes to
vomiting, etc, he is not allowed to fly
high altitude crafts. I hope I make
out all right.

Fashion Front
Perhaps we haven't thought about
it very much, but there are some
changes being made along the fashion
front this season. Here are a few
things for the co-eds to expect:
Last year 's Easter costume won't be
out of style this year—among the few
men styles are shorter j ackets and
the empire silhouette, both fashion
right and economical. You have the
word of the War Production Board
for it.
Metal fasteners are short. Use of
button closings is being urged by
WPB , which points out that a sizable
stock of fresh water pearl buttons is
available . They dye satisfactorily.
Dyestuffs are likely to be curtailed.
Consequently , WPB advises against
black, dark gr een, or brown for summer sheers. Denim, seersuckers,
sheetings and corduroy are needed
for work clothes. But percales, print
cloths, broadcloths and organdy are
not as tight. However, WPB advises
against cotton evening clothes this
year, as cottons will be needed more
for day-time wear.
As to those stockings, to come back
to an old war-torn friend—rayons
still will be available but not as satisfactory in very sheer weights as in
heavier. Use of at least 100 denier is
advocated by WPB.

the Huskies were in front 22-19 and

Led by Washvilla and Slegeski , the
one-two punch of the offense, the
Husky five protected the first half
lead and built up the margin to a safe
point during the last twenty minutes.
The two scoring aces, Washvilla and
Slegeski, accounted for thirty-one of
th e forty-five points gathered by the
Maroon and Gold club.
The Bloomsburfl defense displayed
by far the best exhibition all year in
holding West Chester at bay. With the
exception of the Fort Meade game,

by a Husky opponent was forty -three.

With the passing of the Air Cor ps Reserves fr om the campus, the
curtain will just about completely be lowered over the athletic picture here so far as inter- collegiate athl etics are concern ed. The only
possible answer to save almost any . college from erasin g athletics
from the calendar is the use of students sent by the Army and Navy
? to various institutions for technic al trainin g. The
arm y has turn ed
thumbs down on any such proposal, but the navy has agreed with the
idea. So far as the outlook for Teachers Colleges is concerned , few
have been designated for ar my or navy centers. Here the picture may
not be so gloomy because this college has been a navy center and if
any system can be worked out at all, inter-colle giate athletics may
not be entirely bla cked out.
# *****
Unless some sort of a plan is worked out, the last B. S. T. C. athletic event with other colleges will be the two basketball games this
week-end. Even then the quintet will be short hand ed. As for the
Sprin g program , enough boy s will not be available for track or baseball teams. About thirt y boys remain as regular students and .of those
at the most only fifteen would be available for competition. Had B. S.
T. C. been able to muster a baseball team together , the nine would
have had some excellent experience from the Scranto n Red Sox of
the Eastern League, who will train at Athletic Park this Sprin g.

LIFE WITH UNCLE
by B. W. Kane
Whether it be with the furniture of
a room or the items of a column, an
occasional change in order and arrangement is always helpful in preventing monotony ; so for the sake of
variety this week, we'll insert a few
informational facts of general interest
which were sent to us by the Miami
Herald publication.
Health in Africa
Despite the fact that U. S. troops
have been through the worst rainy
season North Africa has had in years,
the sick rate is little more than one
per cent, according to Maj. Gen.
James C. Magee, army 'surgeon gen eral. Malaria and venereal diseases
are the main medical problems, he
stated; but preventive measures are
adopted by army medicos and have
been almost completely successful in
combating, malaria, and cooperation
among soldiers, military and civilian
authorities will cut the V. D. rate.
The American soldier doesn't lmve
typhus because he's a clean soldier,
General Magee declared: "Vaccines
retard the disease, but . . . control of
typhus depends on cleanliness."

to keep in position.
From here I go into Squadron III
which is the instrument squadron
which means flying under hood. They
say if a cadet can keep from getting
killed in Squadron II and keep from
going crazy in Squadron III, he has
a good chance to get his wings.. If I
can keep from going crazy, maybe
I'll finish.
Tomorrow I go up to 46,000 feet
(approximately 8 miles) for a pressure chamber hop, for . the Navy
wants to know how we react under
reduced pressure. When up to 28,000
feet, I felt nothing different except
the reduced pressure on my ears, but
on the way down, I got a sharp piercing pain in my right ear. This hap pened because I did not equalize the
pressure in my ears by swallowing.
I'll know better on the next hop.
If a student fails in this hop, that
is if he gets the "bends ," takes to
vomiting, etc, he is not allowed to fly
high altitude crafts. I hope I make
out all right.
