N avy Announces
Continuation of
V-12 Program
The Navy announced today that its
V-12 college units will remain in operation for the term from July 1 to
November 1.
At the same time it was announced that the establishment of additional naval reserve officers training
corps unit , previously ; scheduled to
take place July 1, would be postponed.
That expanded program, the Navy
explained, was planned to permit
transfer of V-12 officer candidates so
that they could complete a full 8-term
course in'college.
The 27 naval ROTC units now operating in colleges and universities ,,
the Navy said , will not accommodate
all students eligible on July 1 for
transfer to the expanded Naval ROTC
program, These students, however,
will be afforded necessary instruction
in naval science and tactics so that
their academic courses will not be
affected.
The Navy's announcement gave no
reason for the decision to postpone
establishment of the additional Naval
ROTC units .

"Deeply impressed by the able and
powerfully constructive educational
work of Dr . Willis A. Sutton in his
lectures to American educators, the
Educational Department of the Reader 's Digest has engaged him as its
Guest Lecturer to speak at meetings
of teachers throughout the United
States on the subject "The Battle for
America."
The Battle for America is tile continuation of Hastings, Runnymede,
Wa t erloo , Yorktown and Gettysburg.
It is a battle for freedom of religion,
for an unshackled press, for individual liberty and for civil and individual
rights. *It is a' battle for farm and
fiel d , for the life that made our land
a success, for the ideals that aided
our people to succeed, for the ideals
by which we shall continue to live
and to grow in physical and in spiritual power. It is the battle for education and for giving all citizens all
possible advantages.
From a Georgia plantation and early education in a one-teacher country
school and in a high school he reached
by riding every day sixteen miles on
horseback, Dr. Sutton made his way
to college and to university, stu died
law, became a teacher and for twenty-three years served as a highly able
and extremely original Superintendent of Schools in Atlanta , Georgia.
For his educational work, colleges
and universities gave him a number of
degrees and for his wise, in spiri n g
and humorous advice, teachers
throughout the Nation called upon
him to speak year after year in their
assemblies and made him President of
the National Educational Association.
In all probability, Dr , Sutton , who
has addressed audiences many times
in every state, has spoken to more
teachers and students in the United
States than has any other living
man . In the educational world, he i s
too well known to need any commendation from the Educational Department of The Reader's Digest."

What Makes a Good School?
An attractive building and modern
equipment and books all help to
make a good school. But a community can have everything else that
money can buy for a school and it
will not have a good school unless
it has good teachers. No school is
any better than its teachers .
Perhaps your child has a good
teacher — well prepared , constantly
learning more about teaching, a
wholesome personality . . . a teacher
who is supplied with excellent books
and motion picture and radio equipment . . . a teacher whose classes
are small enough so that each pupil
can be treated as an individual . . .
a teacher who is paid a salary whicn
makes it possible to live comfortably, to continue to study, to travel ,
and to do other things which enrich
personality . If so , you are a fortunate parent
The re are , to be sure, some teachers who do good work in spite of
pitifully low salaries , There ar e som e
teachers who do a fine jo b of teaching in spite of the lack of proper
equipment or buildings ,
But , in general , we get what wo
pay fo r.
Today, a critical situation confronts the schools of the nation at
this most crucial point—the teaching
staff .
In limited sections of the United
States the salaries paid to teachers
arc sufficient to attract and hold capable people.
In most sections, however, salaries
are too low to obtain the kind of
teaching that wo need or to provide
economic justic e to the teachers ,
Hero , briefly, are the facts:
The national nverage for teachers1
salaries, incronsing numbers of whom
must have n college education or
muster 's dogroo , was only $1550 in
1942-45; for rural teachers only $967,
Compare this with the average salary
of federal government employees, oxeluding military personnel , .¥2234; and
with employees in manufacturin g industries, $2363.
Five- out of every hundred American teachers—44,000—wore paid loss
Somewhere — "over there" — an
American fighting man lies wounded
—his face contorted with pain—his
life hanging in the balance.
A medical corpsman is at his side
giving him a blood transfusion . There
is a strange quietude about the sceno
as the bloocl from an American over
here passes slowly in to the body of
that wounded American over there
—in an effort to save another American life .
When you realize that your blood
can give a wounded American fighting man a fighting chance to live,
can you do anything else but contribute regularly to your local blood
bank ?
i
than 5600 or $11.50 per week in 1943-
44 .
i
Thirty out of every hundred American teachers — 240,000 — were paid
less than $1200 or $23 per week. Living costs thruout tho country have
risen at least 25 to 35 percent since
August 1939, Some estimates are as
high as 4y percent , Teachers' sala r ies
have risen less than 10 percent .
Two hundred thousand teachers
have loft tho profession since Pearl
Harbor, many because they could not
live on their salaries. Our children
lose; tho nation loses when the teachers are forced out of their chosen
work in order to make a living.
In 1943-44 more than 50,000 emergency teaching certificates have boon
issued to partly fill tho gap. In addition , thousands of positions wore
abolished , important subjects have
been dropped , and classrooms have
been overcrowded .
To make matters worse in tho
years ahead , enrollments in colleges
preparing teachers have declined 60
percent because pay is bottor in other
typos of war work and young people
have been lost to the armed services.
Those facts carry a prophecy of terrible consequence unless p r e s e n t
trends are checked. Wo can no longer afford to regard so lightly the services of the teacher if wo really believe that the way to a greater future for America is thru tho development of human resources.
Spring Fashion Notes
For Men
Ed. Note!
We are for tunate in having a guest
writer, Miss Lucretia Lathrop, a noted woman columnist of women's fashions . We have asked her to write a
bit on the male fashions of B. S. T. C.
Although Miss Lathrop has previously done fashion notes for only women, she has digressed from her usual path to give her enlivening opinion on the male dress of B. S. T. C.
Miss Lathrop writes :
I have noted a tendency towafd
mustaches among several of your students . Personally I find them a bi t—
shall I say wolfish—b ut I imagine one
would be handy in some situations . It
docs not seem to me however, that
the wearer could ever get close to
his objective. Coffee just would taste
the same!
The majo rity of your male population seems to belong to a club of
some sort that requires a traditional
cost u me . The pants of this garb—
sadly lacking in the approved center
crease — are a very dark shade of
blue . There is no coat to the outfit
—only a sort of slip-on affair with a
very attractive wide collar that flutters most becomingly in the breeze.
I find the hats to be the most intreguing part of the outfit . The view
from a window above a large group
of these men wearing the hats is
much like looking over a bobbing sea
of mushrooms j ogging merrily above
a background of dark blue.
The fascinating thing about these
hats is their versatility. They can
be worn any number of ways. I saw
two young men, I believe their names
are Bibbo and Davis, wearing their
hats directly in front of their eyes
with the entire weight of the garment on the upper bridge of the nose.
This should cut down their visibility
somewhat, but perhaps they prefer
it that way. A Mr. Lyon has a unique way of wearing his hat . It tilts
well down on the right with just a
shade of leaning to the center front.
Very different! There are various
other ways of wearing these hats
but space will not permit my telling
you about them ,
My only obj ection to the typo of
uniform this organization has adopted is the lack of color. A flower here
and there on those dear little hats
could do so much , or a dash of brilliant color about the waist of the
dark blouse would give it that
"smart" look, Apparently the men
enjoy this type of dress or so many
of them would not persist in wearing
it .
Yours for creative creations — Lucretia Lathrop,

Civilian Boys Doing Their Part
Huskie Diamondmen Show Promise
Squad Cut to 26 with Lone
| Civilian on Team
Are Represented in Every Campus Sport
Still unable to work out on the new
baseball diamond, the B.S.T.C. squad
of diamond prospects had to be content with the lower part of the field.
"Doc" Nelson trimmed the team to
twenty - six players as a result of
practice during the past week. The
number of men on the team is still
not a definite one with a possibility
of eliminating two or three more
players to get the squad down to
playing size.
Considering the conditions prevailing during the past week, the squad
put in a very favorable week. They
were able to get out almost every
day, even getting in a few scrimmage
games. If first week showings mean
anything, we can expect to look forward to a very successful season.'
¦The team to date contains eight
battery men , six pitchers and two
catchers, eight infielders and ten outfielders .
The pitching staff consists of four
right-handers and two south-paws.
The righthanders who have shown
promise enough to remain on the
squad are, A/S Sullivan, A/S Zurn er
who also fared very well on the basketball court for Bloomsburg S.T.C.,
A/S MC Niff and the lone civilian on
the squad Wanich . As for the two
portsiders, they are A/S Strong and
A/S Zagoudis . Catching will be A/S
Bottger and A/S Stulb, who was a
member of last year's baseball team.
In the infield there will be A/S Opalka , A/S Terhune, A/S Bianco, A/S
Mariaschin another member of the
basketball squad this past season,
A/S Pratico, A/S Scheer, A/S Klinefelter, who was on both the baseball
and basketball squads last year, and
A/S Denz. Rounding out the team is
the outfield comprised of A/S Davis,
A/S Stoltz, A/S Masterson, A/S
Bloom, A/S Kirk, A/S Valentauk ,
A/S Nielson , A/S Fleming and A/S
Ryan ,
There is still a question as to who
will be on the first team with the
majo r question mark being the outfield . The infield that has shown the
best play during the recent workouts
is A/S Klinefelter on first base who
throws lefthanded , but bats righthanded, A/S Pratico on second base
playing a steady game at the keystone sack throwing and batting
righthanded. At shortstop and looking good is A/S Mariaschin , on third
base is Terhune who will more than
likely remain there i£ A/S Ix doesn't
recuperate from his present illness.
Filling in that all important catchers
position will be A/S Bottger. The
latter three players all throwing and
batting righthanded.
The outfields trouble seems to bo
hitting, with A/S Davis holding his
own so far followed closely by A/S
Stoltz and A/S Masterson. With a
few more days of batting drill the
boys should begin to find tho range
and go to town .
Summing up the squad, it looks as

placed upon hitting, for it has fielding
and pitching potentialities, besides bolng both fast afield and on tho basepaths .

by "Phyzz" Schrader
Dear Fellas,
In our last edition of "Maroon and Gold," Bernie introduced me. I'm the
one who's as athletic as Chesney and with the poise of a perfect lady too—
Bernie—you flatterer!!
I'm going to try to take over Bernie's "Life With Uncle" and hope to make
a good job of it .
. B.S.T.C.'s a lot different now from what it was when I first came in 1942,
and probably very different from your B.S.T.C. The Fleet's in but hasn 't
taken over—well—not altogether—that is. We still remember the "used to
be here " fellow. I wish I had known all of you.
Here's repeating Bernie 's lines— "Keep those letters coming"—I'll see that
they are answered—that's a promise!!!
Most sincerely,

N avy Announces
Continuation of
V-12 Program
The Navy announced today that its
V-12 college units will remain in operation for the term from July 1 to
November 1.
At the same time it was announced that the establishment of additional naval reserve officers training
corps unit , previously ; scheduled to
take place July 1, would be postponed.
That expanded program, the Navy
explained, was planned to permit
transfer of V-12 officer candidates so
that they could complete a full 8-term
course in'college.
The 27 naval ROTC units now operating in colleges and universities ,,
the Navy said , will not accommodate
all students eligible on July 1 for
transfer to the expanded Naval ROTC
program, These students, however,
will be afforded necessary instruction
in naval science and tactics so that
their academic courses will not be
affected.
The Navy's announcement gave no
reason for the decision to postpone
establishment of the additional Naval
ROTC units .

"Deeply impressed by the able and
powerfully constructive educational
work of Dr . Willis A. Sutton in his
lectures to American educators, the
Educational Department of the Reader 's Digest has engaged him as its
Guest Lecturer to speak at meetings
of teachers throughout the United
States on the subject "The Battle for
America."
The Battle for America is tile continuation of Hastings, Runnymede,
Wa t erloo , Yorktown and Gettysburg.
It is a battle for freedom of religion,
for an unshackled press, for individual liberty and for civil and individual
rights. *It is a' battle for farm and
fiel d , for the life that made our land
a success, for the ideals that aided
our people to succeed, for the ideals
by which we shall continue to live
and to grow in physical and in spiritual power. It is the battle for education and for giving all citizens all
possible advantages.
From a Georgia plantation and early education in a one-teacher country
school and in a high school he reached
by riding every day sixteen miles on
horseback, Dr. Sutton made his way
to college and to university, stu died
law, became a teacher and for twenty-three years served as a highly able
and extremely original Superintendent of Schools in Atlanta , Georgia.
For his educational work, colleges
and universities gave him a number of
degrees and for his wise, in spiri n g
and humorous advice, teachers
throughout the Nation called upon
him to speak year after year in their
assemblies and made him President of
the National Educational Association.
In all probability, Dr , Sutton , who
has addressed audiences many times
in every state, has spoken to more
teachers and students in the United
States than has any other living
man . In the educational world, he i s
too well known to need any commendation from the Educational Department of The Reader's Digest."

What Makes a Good School?
An attractive building and modern
equipment and books all help to
make a good school. But a community can have everything else that
money can buy for a school and it
will not have a good school unless
it has good teachers. No school is
any better than its teachers .
Perhaps your child has a good
teacher — well prepared , constantly
learning more about teaching, a
wholesome personality . . . a teacher
who is supplied with excellent books
and motion picture and radio equipment . . . a teacher whose classes
are small enough so that each pupil
can be treated as an individual . . .
a teacher who is paid a salary whicn
makes it possible to live comfortably, to continue to study, to travel ,
and to do other things which enrich
personality . If so , you are a fortunate parent
The re are , to be sure, some teachers who do good work in spite of
pitifully low salaries , There ar e som e
teachers who do a fine jo b of teaching in spite of the lack of proper
equipment or buildings ,
But , in general , we get what wo
pay fo r.
Today, a critical situation confronts the schools of the nation at
this most crucial point—the teaching
staff .
In limited sections of the United
States the salaries paid to teachers
arc sufficient to attract and hold capable people.
In most sections, however, salaries
are too low to obtain the kind of
teaching that wo need or to provide
economic justic e to the teachers ,
Hero , briefly, are the facts:
The national nverage for teachers1
salaries, incronsing numbers of whom
must have n college education or
muster 's dogroo , was only $1550 in
1942-45; for rural teachers only $967,
Compare this with the average salary
of federal government employees, oxeluding military personnel , .¥2234; and
with employees in manufacturin g industries, $2363.
Five- out of every hundred American teachers—44,000—wore paid loss
Somewhere — "over there" — an
American fighting man lies wounded
—his face contorted with pain—his
life hanging in the balance.
A medical corpsman is at his side
giving him a blood transfusion . There
is a strange quietude about the sceno
as the bloocl from an American over
here passes slowly in to the body of
that wounded American over there
—in an effort to save another American life .
When you realize that your blood
can give a wounded American fighting man a fighting chance to live,
can you do anything else but contribute regularly to your local blood
bank ?
i
than 5600 or $11.50 per week in 1943-
44 .
i
Thirty out of every hundred American teachers — 240,000 — were paid
less than $1200 or $23 per week. Living costs thruout tho country have
risen at least 25 to 35 percent since
August 1939, Some estimates are as
high as 4y percent , Teachers' sala r ies
have risen less than 10 percent .
Two hundred thousand teachers
have loft tho profession since Pearl
Harbor, many because they could not
live on their salaries. Our children
lose; tho nation loses when the teachers are forced out of their chosen
work in order to make a living.
In 1943-44 more than 50,000 emergency teaching certificates have boon
issued to partly fill tho gap. In addition , thousands of positions wore
abolished , important subjects have
been dropped , and classrooms have
been overcrowded .
To make matters worse in tho
years ahead , enrollments in colleges
preparing teachers have declined 60
percent because pay is bottor in other
typos of war work and young people
have been lost to the armed services.
Those facts carry a prophecy of terrible consequence unless p r e s e n t
trends are checked. Wo can no longer afford to regard so lightly the services of the teacher if wo really believe that the way to a greater future for America is thru tho development of human resources.
Spring Fashion Notes
For Men
Ed. Note!
We are for tunate in having a guest
writer, Miss Lucretia Lathrop, a noted woman columnist of women's fashions . We have asked her to write a
bit on the male fashions of B. S. T. C.
Although Miss Lathrop has previously done fashion notes for only women, she has digressed from her usual path to give her enlivening opinion on the male dress of B. S. T. C.
Miss Lathrop writes :
I have noted a tendency towafd
mustaches among several of your students . Personally I find them a bi t—
shall I say wolfish—b ut I imagine one
would be handy in some situations . It
docs not seem to me however, that
the wearer could ever get close to
his objective. Coffee just would taste
the same!
The majo rity of your male population seems to belong to a club of
some sort that requires a traditional
cost u me . The pants of this garb—
sadly lacking in the approved center
crease — are a very dark shade of
blue . There is no coat to the outfit
—only a sort of slip-on affair with a
very attractive wide collar that flutters most becomingly in the breeze.
I find the hats to be the most intreguing part of the outfit . The view
from a window above a large group
of these men wearing the hats is
much like looking over a bobbing sea
of mushrooms j ogging merrily above
a background of dark blue.
The fascinating thing about these
hats is their versatility. They can
be worn any number of ways. I saw
two young men, I believe their names
are Bibbo and Davis, wearing their
hats directly in front of their eyes
with the entire weight of the garment on the upper bridge of the nose.
This should cut down their visibility
somewhat, but perhaps they prefer
it that way. A Mr. Lyon has a unique way of wearing his hat . It tilts
well down on the right with just a
shade of leaning to the center front.
Very different! There are various
other ways of wearing these hats
but space will not permit my telling
you about them ,
My only obj ection to the typo of
uniform this organization has adopted is the lack of color. A flower here
and there on those dear little hats
could do so much , or a dash of brilliant color about the waist of the
dark blouse would give it that
"smart" look, Apparently the men
enjoy this type of dress or so many
of them would not persist in wearing
it .
Yours for creative creations — Lucretia Lathrop,

Civilian Boys Doing Their Part
Huskie Diamondmen Show Promise
Squad Cut to 26 with Lone
| Civilian on Team
Are Represented in Every Campus Sport
Still unable to work out on the new
baseball diamond, the B.S.T.C. squad
of diamond prospects had to be content with the lower part of the field.
"Doc" Nelson trimmed the team to
twenty - six players as a result of
practice during the past week. The
number of men on the team is still
not a definite one with a possibility
of eliminating two or three more
players to get the squad down to
playing size.
Considering the conditions prevailing during the past week, the squad
put in a very favorable week. They
were able to get out almost every
day, even getting in a few scrimmage
games. If first week showings mean
anything, we can expect to look forward to a very successful season.'
¦The team to date contains eight
battery men , six pitchers and two
catchers, eight infielders and ten outfielders .
The pitching staff consists of four
right-handers and two south-paws.
The righthanders who have shown
promise enough to remain on the
squad are, A/S Sullivan, A/S Zurn er
who also fared very well on the basketball court for Bloomsburg S.T.C.,
A/S MC Niff and the lone civilian on
the squad Wanich . As for the two
portsiders, they are A/S Strong and
A/S Zagoudis . Catching will be A/S
Bottger and A/S Stulb, who was a
member of last year's baseball team.
In the infield there will be A/S Opalka , A/S Terhune, A/S Bianco, A/S
Mariaschin another member of the
basketball squad this past season,
A/S Pratico, A/S Scheer, A/S Klinefelter, who was on both the baseball
and basketball squads last year, and
A/S Denz. Rounding out the team is
the outfield comprised of A/S Davis,
A/S Stoltz, A/S Masterson, A/S
Bloom, A/S Kirk, A/S Valentauk ,
A/S Nielson , A/S Fleming and A/S
Ryan ,
There is still a question as to who
will be on the first team with the
majo r question mark being the outfield . The infield that has shown the
best play during the recent workouts
is A/S Klinefelter on first base who
throws lefthanded , but bats righthanded, A/S Pratico on second base
playing a steady game at the keystone sack throwing and batting
righthanded. At shortstop and looking good is A/S Mariaschin , on third
base is Terhune who will more than
likely remain there i£ A/S Ix doesn't
recuperate from his present illness.
Filling in that all important catchers
position will be A/S Bottger. The
latter three players all throwing and
batting righthanded.
The outfields trouble seems to bo
hitting, with A/S Davis holding his
own so far followed closely by A/S
Stoltz and A/S Masterson. With a
few more days of batting drill the
boys should begin to find tho range
and go to town .
Summing up the squad, it looks as
If emphasis during practice is to be
placed upon hitting, for it has fielding
and pitching potentialities, besides bolng both fast afield and on tho basepaths .

Dear Fellas,
In our last edition of "Maroon and Gold," Bernie introduced me. I'm the
one who's as athletic as Chesney and with the poise of a perfect lady too—
Bernie—you flatterer!!
I'm going to try to take over Bernie's "Life With Uncle" and hope to make
a good job of it .
. B.S.T.C.'s a lot different now from what it was when I first came in 1942,
and probably very different from your B.S.T.C. The Fleet's in but hasn 't
taken over—well—not altogether—that is. We still remember the "used to
be here " fellow. I wish I had known all of you.
Here's repeating Bernie 's lines— "Keep those letters coming"—I'll see that
they are answered—that's a promise!!!
Most sincerely,
