AROUND

THE

P oef ruf

CAMPUS

Another college session is under way and as alway s , it brings to the
foreground new faces and new ideas as well as the changes brou ght about
throu gh former ideas—ideas that started out as small sparks, sputtered ,
j and then continued to burn; others that started out as gigantic bonfires only
to simmer down , flicker , and L'ade away into oblivion. With this first issue
of the Maroon and Gold lor 1943 , this column will start out as a new spark ,
hoping you , the road en-, will kindle tho flame now and then to make it burn
continually through remembrances of an old get-together , a smile , a laugh ,
a j oke, or an old saying at some particular spot on the campus . So with this
in mind , "Aroiuid the Campus " shall start shaking oil" the dusty cobwebs
and brin g back memories to the graduates , upperclassmen , and become a
revelation to our newly arrived campus members .
Now that you have been properly introduced to "Around the Campus , ''
the tour shall get under way by walking up College 3-1ill toward the college campus. The first thin g ihat you will see is the fountain spouting cascades of water thr.t overflows from its circular base into the artisticall y arranged flowers. But it has not always been this way . For a long time , during the past century of the school's existence , there had been a fountain in
the lower left front of the campus havin g been installed soon after the
school was opened on its present site .
ft was the class of 1904 , of which Aaron Killmer was president , that decided to present the original fountain in Iron! of Institute Hall , now known
as Carver Hall , as their class memorial . The fountain was in the form of a
crane spouting water throu gh, its upturned beak. Many are the frbsh that
remember the reluctant swims they had to take around the base of the
crane being dried by the cold autumn breezes , or the annual fishing jaunts
from the unyi eldin g base . Durin g its three and a half decades of life as a
decorative ornament , the crane received many inj uries from the youngs ters,
and on more than one occasion it gave up crumbling to the ground only to
be doctored and once more placed on its leggy pedestal .
But in the late thirties , no wire , soldering, or other mending could hold
the crane together so down it came , bein g removed to its last peaceful resting place to relive its glorious memories alone . Then a lonely pipe was
left to continue the water cascade , but the cl ass of 1940 did not forget the
crane for that-y ear ihey replaced the fountain with the present model; and
although it was not another crane the water continues to cascade from one
bowl to tiie other while our ethereal crane , holding its place of esteem,
stands on the sidelines of memory with it;-, beak pointed skyward .

With cold weather catching up
with us, we pay our last respects to
that little pest that bothers everyone,
the mosqui to.

WINGED VICTORY
Under the spreading bayberry bush
The grea t mosquito sings ;
The pest , a mighty insect he,
With long and sinewy stings,
And the muscles of his brawny limbs
Arc thick as wedding rings!
His wings are strong, and light , and
long;
His bulk is like a van;
His body filled with blood he 's
swilled ,
He bites whoe'er he can ,
And stings the whole world in the
face;
He spares not any man!
Week in , week out , from morn till

night
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy
sting
Witli measured beat , and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell
When the evening sun is low.

He goes on Sundays to the church ;
Among the pews he flits;

GOLDBR ICKING

One comes upon aptness in goldbricking not suddenly, but rather
works up to a supreme skill in it as
in any other craft. Let us follow a
green-gilled boot, Seaman F. D. R.
Jones, an extraordinarily average guy
as an example.
About one week after receiving a
letter "Greetings From the President ," he will awake in the middle
of the night , about 5 A. M . numbly
and dumbly cussing some blow-eared
bugler . He will dash out to formation for chow then hastily to sick
call.
"Say doc muh foot's blistered. "
"Pharmacist , paint this man 's foot
with tincture of merthiolate. "
"Muh finger 's swollen."
"Paint it with tincture of merthiolate ."
"Muh throat's sore. "
"Paint it with tincture of merthiolate. "
"Muh stomach aches."
"Mate , give this man some tincture
of merthiolate to drink and throw
him the Devil out of here. "
Our prodigy has begun his life as
goldbrick for Uncle Sam.
The next month is a lugubrious
one for our little seaman . He spends
the mornings washing the Captain 's
car. the afternoons collecting garbage cans and the evenings de-espousing himself of various and sundry odors.
Being" unlucky , he finds that to
smoke in ranks means spuds to peel,
to chide the chief means floors to
mop. Being gullible, he answers the
call for men who can take shorthand
and discovers himself firing furnaces
because the firemen were shorth anded. He supplies his hands and able
brain to the supposed need for good
horsemen and finds himself shoveling dung.
Soon, however, he "wises up. " No
longer does he answer the spurious
call for typists, to unload a batch of
typewriters. He learns to hide the
smoke of a hastily sneaked cig arette

ond Clash; Outcome of Game
is Uncer tain

With a defini tely limited field of
competi tion , the pigskin maulers of
the Navy V-12 Uni t chose teams
among themselves with Chiefs Llewellyn and Franklin each coaching a
team. This arrangement has proved
to be a satisfactory outlet for the
never-ceasing urge of football players to play ball.
Chief Franklin 's team , using a
modified "T" offensive system , has
several experienced players who lead
the team and give them an air of
finesse. They also have sufficient
power plus speed and with practice
would become a polished unit.
Chief Llewellyn 's squad is of s a
different nature; he lacks experienced ball players, but his boys, altho ugh green , have more than enough
fight. The great amount of fight they
hav e compensates for their lack of
experience. The offensive system of
this squad works from a wingback
formation which employs simple but
effective ball handling plus a dangerous aerial attack.
As we think back over the first
clash between these two teams, we
cannot be sure of the outcome of the
game today . Although Franklin 's
team came across into pay dirt territory twice to Llewellyn 's once, this
is no evidence that they will or wi\l
not be able to do it again. Since
both of these teams have functioned
once as a unit , their performance
today will undoubtedly be a demonstration of good football.
Chtef Franklin 's team will be
handicapped by his absence from
the bench today but he has a very
able successor in Lt. Boyd, Executive
Officer of the Navy Flight Unit , who
will act as the coach for the game.
Lt. Boyd was a former coach of Atlantic City High before his entrance
into the Navy and his past records
offer proof that he is an able coach.

ENROLLMENT FOR PRE SENT
SIX WEEKS SESSION IS 171
Bloomsburg 's enrollment for the
present six weeks session is 171 regular coll ege students reinforced by
the 163 Navy V-12' s stationed here.
Of the 171 there are 20 male students.
Incoming* Class
A breakdown shows that there are
55 enrolled in the incoming Freshman Class of which eight are males.
Figures on the other classes are not
now available. The ratio of men to
women in the regular courses is
7 Mj -1. But , when the Navy men enter the picture , the ratio shifts to
1—1 3-5 in favor of the girls.
This definitely places the Bloomsburg girls in a rather uni que position
for in most schools the actual ratio
resembles the first one given , a 20-1
maj ori ty.
