"Fundamentally this is a young
man 's war. But in many important
ways this is also a young woman's
war; young women in uniform and
young women in overalls; young women in field and factory, in office and
hospital. You as young college women have a definite part to play in
this crisis. For even in the classroom,
today 's war is not merely academic.
It is actual. Young women students,
everywhere, are keenly aware of the
facts of the war; they must also be
alert to the way in which those facts
affect them as women and as students. They must recognize the unpleasant fact that a totalitarian triumph would destroy their very freedom to attend the college of their
choice. They have a tremendous
stake in the war; for if we were to
lose it, .they would lose their future,
and youth deeply deserves a future.
They also have a service to perform
and they are performing it with their
characteristic enthusiasm and determination. I know that, for my own
daughter , a college Sophomore, tells
me of the many war services her
classmates are rendering. One thing
you can all do is to buy War Bonds
and Stamps. Perhaps you cannot invest vast sums of money. But you
can invest an appropriate share of all
you receive or earn. And as you invest this money you will also be investing your own sacrifice and selfrespect. In a practical and patriotic
way, you will be uniting scholarship
and citizenship. You will also be investing in the future. Youth has always depended on the future. Today
the future depends on youth." It's
more than a man's war, says Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of Treasury.

Although many teachers colleges canceled games scheduled the last
two weeks of the basketball season because of the loss of boys to the armed
forces, Bloomsburg was one that didn't. Coach Buchheit and the team can
be congratulated for finishing the season without blotting games off the
books. Buchheit had a squad of no more than twelve to work with , at any
time during the season, and the last game was played with only eight boys
available, but nevertheless the cage team gave a good account of itself. The
loss of two varsity players, first Bernie Pufnak and then, Vince Washvilla,
both key . men, lowered the hopes considerably, but the dribblers were bound
to conclude the season with all games played, and conclude it they did.
Ja yvees (Win Over
Berwi ck Y. M. C. A.
The Husky Cubs registered their
third victory of the year by winning
over a previously undefeated Berwick
"Y" team, 48-31. The Berwick outfit
had gone twenty-seven games with a
perfect record prior to this setback.
Berwick took a 13-11 lead at the
quarter , but at the half the Cubs were
ahead, 25-15, and there they stayed.
Phil Yeany was the leading point-getter for the Jayvees with sixteen while
Dick Shearer was close behind with
fourteen . The Cub defense held big
Jack Watson at bay, and although he
led the "Y" club with eleven points,
it was unusual for the former pro
player to be bottled up.
Yeany, a forward, and Harry John,
a guard , both played their last games
for the duration , having left for active duty in the Air Corps after the
game.
A much improved B. S. T. C. basketball team racked up its third win
in the last four games by overcoming

"Fundamentally this is a young
man 's war. But in many important
ways this is also a young woman's
war; young women in uniform and
young women in overalls; young women in field and factory, in office and
hospital. You as young college women have a definite part to play in
this crisis. For even in the classroom,
today 's war is not merely academic.
It is actual. Young women students,
everywhere, are keenly aware of the
facts of the war; they must also be
alert to the way in which those facts
affect them as women and as students. They must recognize the unpleasant fact that a totalitarian triumph would destroy their very freedom to attend the college of their
choice. They have a tremendous
stake in the war; for if we were to
lose it, .they would lose their future,
and youth deeply deserves a future.
They also have a service to perform
and they are performing it with their
characteristic enthusiasm and determination. I know that, for my own
daughter , a college Sophomore, tells
me of the many war services her
classmates are rendering. One thing
you can all do is to buy War Bonds
and Stamps. Perhaps you cannot invest vast sums of money. But you
can invest an appropriate share of all
you receive or earn. And as you invest this money you will also be investing your own sacrifice and selfrespect. In a practical and patriotic
way, you will be uniting scholarship
and citizenship. You will also be investing in the future. Youth has always depended on the future. Today
the future depends on youth." It's
more than a man's war, says Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary of Treasury.

Although many teachers colleges canceled games scheduled the last
two weeks of the basketball season because of the loss of boys to the armed
forces, Bloomsburg was one that didn't. Coach Buchheit and the team can
be congratulated for finishing the season without blotting games off the
books. Buchheit had a squad of no more than twelve to work with , at any
time during the season, and the last game was played with only eight boys
available, but nevertheless the cage team gave a good account of itself. The
loss of two varsity players, first Bernie Pufnak and then, Vince Washvilla,
both key . men, lowered the hopes considerably, but the dribblers were bound
to conclude the season with all games played, and conclude it they did.
Ja yvees (Win Over
Berwi ck Y. M. C. A.
The Husky Cubs registered their
third victory of the year by winning
over a previously undefeated Berwick
"Y" team, 48-31. The Berwick outfit
had gone twenty-seven games with a
perfect record prior to this setback.
Berwick took a 13-11 lead at the
quarter , but at the half the Cubs were
ahead, 25-15, and there they stayed.
Phil Yeany was the leading point-getter for the Jayvees with sixteen while
Dick Shearer was close behind with
fourteen . The Cub defense held big
Jack Watson at bay, and although he
led the "Y" club with eleven points,
it was unusual for the former pro
player to be bottled up.
Yeany, a forward, and Harry John,
a guard , both played their last games
for the duration , having left for active duty in the Air Corps after the
game.
A much improved B. S. T. C. basketball team racked up its third win
in the last four games by overcoming
