College Council Adopts
Policy for Social Room
On Thursday night , December 14,
Waller Hall Girls
R eceive Awards
Air Corps Personnel
Seize Opportunity
For Part Time Study
Officers and enlisted men at this
Liberator air base in England, one of
the strategic air depots in Brigadier
General Donald Goodrich's Eighth Air
Force Service Command , are preparing now for a successful readjustment
to the postwar world .
Technicians and mechanics, whose
duties are servicing and maintaining
liberator bombers, are eagerly attending classes, during thier off-hours,
in almost every phase of education.
This schooling is made possible by
the Armed Forces Institute, which
supplies new, up-to-date, attractive
textbooks. Classes are organized by
the base Special Service Officer , who
arranges classroom facilities, and engages instructors among qualified personnel . There is no cost whatever attached to the courses.
Interest is so keen in the Educational Program that all allotted evening time is filled . Subjects taught
range from Psychology to Meteorology, from Business Management to
World History.
The astounding fact to emerge from
this program is the enthusiasm with
which the men are seizing the opportunity, and the studies must be pursued in af t-duty hours. The War
comes first ; the maintonencc of aircraft and the supplying of planes
must be accomplished before study or
classes begin.
Even though the soldier has his
duty to perform first, he is using his
treasured , leisure hours for study.
NOTICE
the annual dormitory room judging
contest was held recently by the girls
of the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College. The contest is a proj ect of
the Waller Hall House Committee
with Violet Weller, Turbotville and
Wanda Barth , Lansdale as co-Chairmen . Room judges consisted of student members of the House committee and women members of the College Faculty.
The rooms were judged on the basis
of suitability for dormitory rooms,
arrangement of furn iture', color
scheme, neatness and originality. The
"best rooms received as awards decorative door cards indicating "Attractive Room " or "Honorable Mention."
The rooms selected for awards were
chosen by both sets of judges working
individually.' "Attractive Rooms"

Longo, Kathleen Hess, and Wand a
Barth .
Two girls in the dormitory acquired
diamond rings for Christmas.
Because of construction work in the
Navy section of Waller Hall, it has
been necessary for the Navy to move
temporarily into part of the girl's
dorm". The nigh t before the partition was moved, fourth floor looked

This winter seems to be a bit hard
on some of our poor animal friends.
The day we returned from vacation a
little shivering dog found shelter in
our warm halls and some of the girls'
rooms. Joy, Phyllis and Dodie's room
seemed to suit him remarkably well.
At the regular meeting of the Waller Hall Governing Board Thursday ,
January 4, the chairman of the Fire
Drill and Social Committees were chosen . The new social chairman is Dora
Brown and the new fire chief is Peggy Anthony.

Waller Hall Girls

Air Corps Personnel
Seize Opportunity
For Part Time Study
Officers and enlisted men at this
Liberator air base in England, one of
the strategic air depots in Brigadier
General Donald Goodrich's Eighth Air
Force Service Command , are preparing now for a successful readjustment
to the postwar world .
Technicians and mechanics, whose
duties are servicing and maintaining
liberator bombers, are eagerly attending classes, during thier off-hours,
in almost every phase of education.
This schooling is made possible by
the Armed Forces Institute, which
supplies new, up-to-date, attractive
textbooks. Classes are organized by
the base Special Service Officer , who
arranges classroom facilities, and engages instructors among qualified personnel . There is no cost whatever attached to the courses.
Interest is so keen in the Educational Program that all allotted evening time is filled . Subjects taught
range from Psychology to Meteorology, from Business Management to
World History.
The astounding fact to emerge from
this program is the enthusiasm with
which the men are seizing the opportunity, and the studies must be pursued in af t-duty hours. The War
comes first ; the maintonencc of aircraft and the supplying of planes
must be accomplished before study or
classes begin.
Even though the soldier has his
duty to perform first, he is using his
treasured , leisure hours for study.
NOTICE

contest was held recently by the girls
of the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College. The contest is a proj ect of
