Business Club
Panel Discusses
Militar y Trainin g
"Should There Be Military Training in the High Schools After the
War? " was the question which started an interesting panel discussion
featured at the Business Education
Club meeting on May 4 .
The panel members, Helen Fehl,
Gloria Gillis, Mary Schoeder and
Salvatore Mazzeo, were equally divided as to opinions.
On the affirmative side, views took
a turn to—Military training would
give the boys appreciation for their
country and for their own worth; it
is important in the formation of
character. This type of training
tends to develop leadership as well
as good health habits, which can be
carried over to each person 's later
life.

Those who did not favor military
training felt the boys would be too
anxious for fighting if it were included in the curriculum of the high
schools. The idea of military training being undemocratic was mentioned along with this negative feeling.
One member commented that we,
as a na t ion , must adopt a military
status if we are to keep our reputation in world affairs.
A period of compulsory military
training after graduation from high
school was also discussed. However ,
the group, as a whole, was opposed
to this since it might turn into a
handicap to a person who was planning to attend a college or planning
some other career.

TO ATTEND CONFERE NCE
The Navy Department is holding a
meeting in Columbia University on
May 12 and 13. President Harvey A.
Andruss will be among those administrators of colleges and universities
present. The problem to be discussed is the assignment of quotas for
the V-12 program for the coming
year.

MEET YOUR COMMANDER
We want to introduce to you of the
college community Lt. Lloyd Paul
Jordon , the new commanding officer
of the V-12 Uni t at Bloomsburg.
Lt. Jordon , previously from Amherst, Massachusetts, received his B.
S. degree at the University of Pittsburgh. He was President of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, and also a member of
Omicron Delta Kappa. Colgate University had the pleasure of having
him with them from 1928-1931. At
Iowa State College, he was officer in
charge of the V-12 group and he was
executive officer of the V-12 unit at
Muhlenburg College.
Since Bloomsburg loves sports of
all kinds, we were glad to know that
we had a great sportsman in our
midst.
'He organized Physical Education
in the schools of North Braddock,
Pennsylvania, in 1924; coached football , basketball and baseball there
and at Amherst College.
For interested members of the Maroon and Gold Staff , Lt. Jordon was
Co-Director of Amherst Press.
His overflowing initiative seems to
be passed on to his sons, Robert
Lloyd, who is at Parris Island and
John Harland Lloyd, who is in the
Marine Corps at San Diego, California.
Yes , we are proud to have Lt. Jordon on our campus and we want him
to know we appreciate his work here.

Some simple generaL rules
ing to introductions:
Two men when introduced shake
hands. Women do or do not shake
hands as they feel disposed. If there
is shaking of hands, the woman first
offers her hand to the man , not the
man to the woman.
Men and children always rise
when introduced. A woman rises
when introduced to an older person.
There are several correct ways of
making introductions. The important thing always is to be sure that
the name of the person to whom the
introduction is made is mentioned
first.
One may say, "Miss Dot , may I
present Mr. Dash" or "Miss Dot this
is Mr. Dash ," or "Miss Dot , Mr.
Dash ," or "Miss Dot , do you know
Mr. Dash?"
With two exceptions men are introduced to women:
A very young girl is presented to
a very old man.

A woman is always introduced to
the President of the United States ,
to a King and to the high officials of
the Church.
It is permissible to correct a person who pronounces one 's name
wrongly. One might say, "I am sorry, I think you misunderstood my
name. It is Stope, not Dope."
Say, what about the door that was
left to slam in your face? We 'll ta lk
about that next time.

As of May 9, there were four Huski es still clubbing the ball for averages over the .300 mavk.

in June. Lots of luck to both of you.
We hear tha t the boys in Room 383
are learning their signal flags so that
they can communicate more easily
with the girls in Room 373. Go to it,
fellows. Those flags may really come
in handy af ter you 've left Bloom.
By the way, in case the rest of the
s t uden t s haven ' t h eard , there is a
sof tball game on the campus nearly
every nigh t. Why don't we all go out
and give the boys a little support?
Eve n though the fellows are playing
because they want to, they would appreciate a little interest , and possibly
a little competition could be develop ed.
We h aven 't seen a lot of dancing
hereabouts lately but we picked up
this bit of poetry on the subj ect:

TENNIS NEWS
The maj orit y of the tennis courts
are in excellent condition , but the
tennis nets have proven to be real
"sore " spots. Four or five new nets
are ur gently needed.

What 's New !
The fairer sex has now moved its
quartei's with the help of prominen t
debs such as Alberta Naunas and
Ruth Fortner to the j iving pine floor
of the gym or to its more secluded
stations near the radiators.
Then there is the less private post
in the lobby where only those that
find it hard to move about easily,
linger; ask Frances Saunders who
has Anchors there and Fern Van
Sant who believes in switching
males occasionally .
It's been rumored that the Dubois
and Martz combination hold parties
for certain V-12's as another approach to a man 's heart.
Several of our day room acquaintances as Poletime Communtzis, Mary
Louise Scott, Jackie Shaffer and
Ell a Schargo are not seen around the
daily sewing circle very much lately, but we know they are passing up
j olly moments for other important
tasks. We think of them as being
with us as Eltheda Klingaman lowers her voice and tells another startling j oke.
