THE AMER ICAN RED CROSS

TODAY, more than ever before,
+ the American Red Cross drive
is striving for a high goal. Why?
Because today the demands on the
great organization is unlimited. ^
They are seeing to it that our
American boys over there and also
those boys who are prisoners of war
are receiving the food , medical attention, and care they need. The
Red Cross not only does all it can
on the war front, but they are working unceasingly here at home.
Our college community realized
the great need the Red Cross is in.
Dr. Nelson opened the drive officially
during the Chapel program on March
16 and members of the Social Service Club under the direction of Miss
Rich have been on duty different
hours of the day . The drive ended
March 20 and the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College community is proud
to say we contributed $650, to date.
This amount includes contributions
from faculty, college and V-12 students and employees.

hours, your mercy goes marching on!"

Ensign Jack Llewllyn, former Chief

been transferred to the amphibious
command at Hollywood , Florida.
He received his commission as an
Ensign at the College assembly,
March 20, 1944.
Llewellyn, stationed at B. S. T. C.
a comparatively short time, leaves
behind him an enviable record.
Along with his regular Navy duties,

he and the team came through with

THREE YEARS OF TRANSITION
(Continued From Last Issue)
Building and plant changes were
necessary to meet these new requirements. Travel, being curtailed, a
larger number of resident students
lived in college dormitories. • Army
and Navy Cadets and Officers had to
be housed in quarters formerly occupied by women students. Along
with all these new developments attention must ever be kept attuned
to the expanding needs of a college
educating young people to be teachers in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
During the year 1940-41 there was
provided from the college funds over
$40 ,000 worth of improvements, such
as: hot water tanks for all dormitories; toilet rooms for men in Science
Hall , where Engineering, Science and
Management Defense Training Courses were taught in the evening; and
much new equipment and machinery
to handle new courses offered for the
first time. An athletic fence and side
walk in front of the Centennial Gymnasium was also completed, although
the building itself could not be opened since electric current for power
and ligh t was not then available.
During the year, however, the General State Authority let contracts for
over $60 ,000 , designed to put the
Junior High School and Gymnasium
into operation. These contracts provided equipment for both buildings;
unification of all power and light
lines so that a single meter would
give control and result in economies
of operation; correction of certain
construction changes; and additions
to the boiler room equipment. The

Reed was the fifth alumus of B. S
T. C. to give his life in this War.
Word Received
Word of the flier 's death was received in a telegram by Miss Anne
Sabol , a close friend of Reed' s wife ,
Ruth Baird Reed , also an alumnus of
Bloomsburg.
While at Bloomsburg Captain Reed
was active in cross-country and distance running with the track team.
He was a member of Kappa Delia Pi .
His q uiet , but winning personality
made him a favorite among the
student body.
Foreign Service
Captain Reed came home from the
African campaign last June after nine
months of combat duty . He was
credited with bringing down four
enemy planes. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross and Oak
Leaf clusters for parti cipating in over
fifty missions, the Purple Heart for
inj uri es sustained abroad , and th e
Air Medal citati on eight times. Once
his plane was struck by anti-aircraft
shells , and he par achuted safely to
ear th less than 100 yards away from
ene my lines .

He was later ordered home and
was assign ed to Rando lph Field ,
Texas , and en tered the Flight Instructors School thet-e. While at
Randolph Field last August , he w as

He was gradua ted from Bloomsurg

He was a member of the C, A . A.

Post-war colleges will be blissfully
comfortable if we can j udge by the
activities of alumni organizations
and boards of trustees. Oklahoma
City University is planning to raise
a million dollar War Bond fund for
post-war construction of dormitories.
A drive has also started among
alumni of the University of Redlands , California , for War Bonds to
be earmarked for a new men 's dormitory. The idea seems to be, let our
money build fighting aids now and
learning aids later.

and in Pennsylvani a alone, 200 ,000

since one of the first rules for proper

can expect higher prices for careful

blackou ts which were to follow
would have required the pulling of
seven switches in an many different
places if these contracts had not been
completed. Thus during the college
year of 1940-1941, over $100,000 was
added to the college plant and equipment.
The trend of equipping to meet
new needs was continued in the college year 1941 with an expenditure
of $25 ,000. The college spent over
$5 ,000 on new flourescent lights , furniture , machines and gymn asium
floors, while the General State Authority continued with its program to
pu t the new buildings in shape to be
operated , spending over $20,000 as
follows: concrete steps and balustrade for the Centennial Gymnasium,
movable equipment for the Junior
High School and gymnasium, and alterations and additions to better meet
the needs for which the buildings
were designed.
With an expanding program in
Navy Aviation , the Bloomsburg
State Teachers College filled out and
returned a questionnaire to the War
Man Power Commission, outlining its
available faculty and facilities, Feeling that the college war participa tion
was substantial , no request was
made for other war programs for
men . Meanwhile the Pennsylvania
School Code had been amended so as
to permit the cooperation of State
Teachers Colleges with n ational,
state and local agencies in promoting the defense effort un til 1945. In
April, 1942 , certain colleges and universities were notified that they were
eligible for inspection for the Navy
V-12 (Officer Candida te) Program.
Thus the gradual conversion of
housing space from women 's dormitories was stepped up to meet the
increased need . From a housing capacity of 70 men the space was increased to accommodate 350 men. At
the same time care was taken to reserve enough space to house all women students, the number of which
increased slightly in 1943 over 1942.
The change of dormi tory accommoda tions from 70 men and 350 women to accommodations for 350 men
and 100 women necessitated an expendi ture of over $30,000, including
replastering and relighting of North
Hall (Men 's Dor mitory ) conversion
of Waller Hall through new toilet
facili ties and faculty apartments;
new slate roof for Waller Hall along
with new furniture , double deck
beds and bedding . In addition , certain major repairs and additions
were made by the installation of new
coal and ash ha ndling equipment in
the boiler house, the exterior painting of all wood work on Science Hall,
Waller Hall (includin g old gymnasium), Nor th Hall and Carver Hall.
Thus bring ing the total improvement
beyond the $50 ,000 mark .
Dunns this period the needs of the
college utter the war have not been
forgotten. All remodeling and renovations of dormitory facilities will
give balanced accommodations for
men and women. Equipment procured for aviation , science and nursing courses is adaptable for teacher
education courses.
The most recent addition to the
cooperative war programs has been
in the field of Nursin g Education.
Instruction "'in physical , biologi ca l
and social sciences is given to student nurses of the Bloomsburg Hospital, College credit is awarded for
these courses and the outline of the
Pennsylvania Wurses Association is

Dear Aunt Penelope,
As you know , we have in our midst
many new people. I have seen these
unhappy souls trying to cope with an
absorbing problem. Day af ter day,
I' ve watched their feverish fumblings and it's slowly beginning to get
me! I am a Senior and even I, with
four years of experi ence, can 't execute the gesture necessary to obtain
satisfactory results.
Aunt Penelope, have you discovered a fool-proof way to open those

Dear Harrowed One ,

B. S. T. C.

Wi th an uncle in Levenworth and
a step-father in Sing Sing I am j ust
the person you need . I have dozens
of ways to open any safe, so, a mailbox is mere practice for me.
Uncle Wilfred says that a lot depends upon your attitude and approach. Don't slink up with defeat in
your heart. Stride up briskly with
that urge-to-win feeling.
Cursing helps even though I don 't
advise. If your vocabulary is limited
along that line I know a few people
around here who are able to help
you.
You can break the little glass window and fish out your mail with a
pair of eyebrow tweezers or a wad
of gum but you probably would end
up swapping stories with Uncle Wilford.
I saw a V-12 on his knees coaxing
his one day and it opened. He sort
of mumbled sweet words or somethings. Of course it isn't very dignified but you will have plenty of
time for dignity when you are my
age.
I saw another person jus t standing arou nd and waiting for the feliow in the box below to open his,
then this clever chap, with his nautical knowledge, reached through the
ot her fello w's box periscope fashion ,
and clutched his own booty.
If n one of t h ese w ork , try writing
to my Uncle Wilford. I'll give you
his addr ess if you ask for it.
Sincerely,
Aunt Penelope.
P. S. How do I open mine? I Don't.
I always ask Miss Eyerly .for it.

Pla y Ball For
National Leagues
It won't be long until the familiar
cry of "play ball" ushers in another
baseball season. All of the maj or
league teams have reached their
spring training camps where they
were given a cold reception. Spring
is here , but the majority of the clubs
have been unable to drill other than
where man-made heat is available.
Pity the old timers who are trying
to get back in condition. All of the
clubs have a few of them hanging
around , however, it is as Al Simmons , the veteran outfielder whose
big bat helped the Athletics to three
pennants back in 1929-31 , explained:
"It is foolish for old timers to try
to help out in the game 's current
manpower shortage. "
Facing Shortage of Players
The teams are facing a real manpower shortage, consequently , the
calibre of the teams, including the
Philadelphia Blue Jays, has debased
to the extent where the fans will be
putting their two dollars on the
line to see what would be classed as
only AA ball during ordinary times.
Almost every daily report originating from any training camp tells of
at least one player that has been accepted by the armed forces and is
waiting to be called. Hence, there
is . one item that presents absolutely
no difficulty to the maj or league
teams: the restriction which allows
each team only 25 players after June
15 . No sir, there won't be any hair
pulling in that department .
Predictions
If we were prognosticators we
would say that the St. Louis Cardinals are a cinch to win the National League Pennant. But they won 't
meet the Yankees in the World Series. Then we would add that the
Philadelphia Blue Jays would at
least finish in sixth place. After that
prediction , we should throw the
whole article in the waste basket.

Speaking of athletes, here's a
shocking fact . Dr. Olshevski has an
electric cure for athlete's foot . Not
related to the common hot foot treatment.

A recapitulation of the court season shows tha t Dick Bierly, a hookshot artist , won the scoring honors
with his accumulated total of 202
points. "Red" Graham placed second , in this department , with his 135
points. Both of these V-12's were
transferred during trimesters. Eddie
Voglesong, Jack Goepher t, and Bernard Ganley completed the varsity
quintet. Their services were absolutely necessary to make up the
smooth-running att ack. Who could
ever forget Captain Jack Goephert
as h e consistently swished the net
from mid-court; Eddie Vogelsong 's
out-maneuvering the many towering
guards who were pi tted against him ,
and Ganley who time after time deflected the opponent's field throws.
The individual scoring was sometimes heavy, but the team work was
the outstanding factor of the Huskies

We noticed they were attracting a
