Althea Parsell
One of Finalists
At Philadelphia
Are Fifteen Finalists, With
Two To Be Selected
Miss Althea Parsell , of Orangeville,
a Bloomsburg State Teachers College
student and voice student of Miss
Laura Herring, of town , is one of the
fif teen finalists among the young
singers who are striving to be named
to appear on the program of the Philadelphia Music Festival June 1. Two
will be chosen.
The first three of the finalists were
guest soloists on a radio program last
Sunday and three will be heard each
Sunday for the next four weeks. Miss
Parsell will sing on Sunday afternoon ,
May 6 over KYW Philadelphia .
There were more than 500 amateur
singers who were heard and tested in
the competition .
Miss Parsell went to Philadelphia
about a month ago to enter the contest and how well she was received
is reflected in the fact that she is one
of the final fifteen.
About a year ago she was awarded
a scholarship in the School of Fine
Arts at Syracuse University but ref used as she desired to continue her
voice work with Miss Herring and to
complete her course here at the college.

Pandemonium Reign s
At Dramatic Club
The auditorium on Tuesday, April
17, was the scene of hilarious activity

with Dramatic Club in full swing. Jim
Tierney was directing a rehearsal for
the play "The Wedding."
This play was previously scheduled,
but due to complications too complicated to explain , the rehearsal was
presented i n s t e a d . Pandemonium
reigned for the evening and the pro gram was thoroughly enjoyed by a
large audience.
During the business meeting which
followed, Russ Crosby was chosen to
direct a play for assembly on May 16.

Army Air Force
Demonstrates
For Educators
The method of instruction used by
the Army Air Force was demonstrated at the Teachers College, here,
yesterday by the AAF Training Liason Office, New York, to seventy educators , including public school superintendents and principals and representatives of three colleges.
The "mock-up" system of teaching
was demonstrated in the college gymnasium . Under this system a part of
an engine is set up apart from other
phases of the mechanism. This may
be smaller or large but it is to scale.
It is a step further than visual education .
For example, if the hydraulic system is to be studied , this system
would be assembled alone, so that no
part of it would be obscured by other
parts of the engine and the student
could concentrate upon its operation.
The Civil Air Patrol has been active in this type of instruction and
the purpose of the demonstration was
to call to the attention of educators
how the Army Air Force system
works and to inform them that much
of this teaching material is now being made available to the schools.
Lt . Robert J. Anderson explained
what the Army Air Force is doing
and how it came to use the system.
This was done in the morning and
in the afternoon he demonstrated the
"mock-up" system and conducted a
period of questions and answers.
Maj or Reber, executive officer of
the Pennsylvania wing of the CAP,
Harrisburg, told of the background
of the Civil Air Patrol and Dr. George
Stover, State Department of Public
Instruction and assistant training officer of . the Pennsylvania wing of
CAP, spoke of the plans for aeronautic courses in the high schools. Th ese
plans have rapidly developed and include four hours of flight experience ,
which would be tho laboratory part
of the instruction.
Captain John C. Koch, CAP, of the
college faculty, told of the CAP recruiting and training program , explaining the methods used . This work
at the present is on a pre-induction
basis.
The Army Air Force instructors
here were Lt. Robert J. Anderson, Lt.
Frank J. Cignetti, Lt. Robert W. Elmer, Sgt . Thomas R. Knox, Sgt. Walter
E. Raueh and Sgt. Gustavo Goehring,
This is the eighth teachers college
in which the demonstration has been
given and the attendance here was
the largest thus far. \

Dn Leslie P. Hill
To Speak Here
Dr . Leslie P. Hill, President of
Cheyney State Teachers College, will
speak before the college assembly tomorrow at 10:10, He is a noted Negro
educator who has toured the country.

Five Years of Transition
What of the Future?
by

Harvey A. Andruss, President
A democracy can succeed only with
an educated electorate. Free public
education is one oE America 's proudest traditions .
Wi th thirty million boys and girls
in schools and colleges; with one million teachers in the classrooms; and
with thirty billion dollars spent annually on education; the public is vitally concerned with our educational
program . This deep interes t is the
surest safeguard for the continuance
of the democratic tradition and the
American way of life .
To their credit and the glory of the
American educational profession , the
schools and colleges of this country
are functioning despite all obstacles.
Thus far not one important four-year
institution of higher learning has closi
ed its doors. Colleges are mortgaging
their future to continue . As t he pligh t
of education has become known , support has been forthcoming. Alumni ,
friends, and the lay public have rallied
to educational institutions in need..
In this country, American education
is now in a stage of transition . The
normal under-graduate enrollment has
been sharply curtailed. Many colleges
arc marking time, limping along as
best they can . Financial problems
coming naturally in tho wake of a
depleted campus are growing apace,
Many of tho fines t American colleges
and universities arc operating on a
skeleton basis .
.
Benjamin Fine, writing in the New
York Times, Sunday, March 25, 1945,
of a survey of seventeen typical Liboral Arts Colleges, reveals how four
years of war have left thoir mark.
These broad conclusions emerge : (1)
the enrollment of civilian studentbody is down to about 15% of normal;
(2) the faculty has been depleted and
in many instances reduced by more
th an hall' ; (3) course offerings have
bean slashed and complote departments eliminated for the duration;
(4) oxtra-curricular activities have
been reduced or in many Instances
en tirely abandoned; (5) almost ovory
college Is now operating at a finan-

cial loss; and (6) buildings, plants and
equipment have deteriorated and arc
in need of repairs .
Those insti tutions that had substantial financial resources have been able
to weather the emergency in better
shape than the poorer ones, but even
the larger colleges are beginning to
face deficits .
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
has been fortunate in many ways during the war period .
Five years are now finished—what
of the future ?
Since 1940 all American life has
moved, at ti mes spasmodically , toward a future filled with wishful
thinking, wars, and warnings. All
things have been bent toward the
turning of plow-shares into swords
and pruning hooks into spears .
Now we turn and look back over
the five years which are finished. A
new course must be set to determine
whither we shall go "when Nations
slmll not raise sword against Nation ,
neither shall they learn any more."
What of tho Future ? We cannot
answer 'this question until we know
where we are ; and the route that we
traveled to arrive—where we are.
Before the passage of the first Selective Service Act in 1940 it was evident to some college administrators
that changes were impending . Were
the transition made gradually, there
would bo less interruption in tho work
of faculty and students at a given
time and , moreover, Alumni would
have ample time to be advised j ust
what was happening at their Alma
Mater ,
Tho prophet of 1940 did not foresee
tho marked decrease in colic-go enroJJmont . However, those institutions
which insisted on "keeping on" doing
tho same things as before, have been
denuded of students, Their opportunities for contributing to tho war effort have been limited by a slow
start.
The purpose of this discussion Is to
summarize some of the Important developments at the Bloomsburg State
Teachers Collage over the last fiveyear period . In so doing It is hoped
that wo can demonstrate (1) the for-

It 's Up to Us
There are former students of B.S.
T.C. scattered all over the world.
These people have something in common that they have handed over to
us to keep for them . That is the
Bloomsburg Tradition . That isn't j ust
a stuffy phrase but it is a conglomeration of things , big and little , that are
found all over our campus. It's the
two lions at the end of senior walk
and it's that piece of masculine attire waving from a tree on front
campus. There are meanings and people behind all of these things.
When former B.S.T.C. students get
a chance they will come back and
they will want to see these things
that stand for Bloomsburg Tradition.
It is up to us to take care of them
because they are ours too. We must
know about these things and then tell
them to new students . How else can
they be remembered ?
Your school will have a deeper
meaning to you if you understand its
tradition . The thing that stands out
Beyond classes, assemblies, rules and
regulations are the things that make
up a college tradition. New people on
our campus will respect us and our
college more if we give them something that earns respect.
We have had to shelve many of our
college activities until Victory. Let's
not put them so far back on the shelf
that we forget their very existence.
They are the things our Bloomsburg
boys are fighting for.

Huskies Take
Ninth Place

The Huskie trackmen opened the
season successfully as they smashed
Kutztown by a 65:21 count on the
College field last Monday. Paced by
Captain Charlie Johnson who took
two firsts along with his efforts in the
relay, the home tean\ had things
pretty much its own way except in
the field events. Geiss captured the
shotpu t and discus tossing events for
the visitors and accounted for almost
half their points alone. Dwight was
the only other visitor to take a blue
ribbon, his 5' 4" effort topping the
high jumpers .
The Huskies swept all places in
both the long distance events as Vince
Shedler lead two team-mates home in
t he m ile, and Bob Spegal paced the
home forces in the 880. The Navymen
wound up one-two in three other events as Kishbaugh followed Johnson
across the tape in the 100 and 200,
while McCormiek ran second to Devine in the 100 yard low hurdles.
Gronka took §egond in the discus and
Roudabush garnered 3 points for his
effort in the shot put. Pittenger won
in the broad jump and the relay team
accounted for 5 more points in the
Husky total of 65.
The meet produced several surprises , all of them pleasing to Coach
Buchheit. Almost all of the winning
marks were of higher caliber than
those registered in the inter-company
meet several weeks ago, and chances
are that even further improvement
will come. Pete Dunne and Doug
Jackson neither of whom figured in
the All-Navy meet each captured
points in the high jump . Shedler cut
off a good bit on the mile's time, and
Spegal lowered the 880 mark toy several seconds. Surprise of the day,
however, was the team entered by the
baseballers in the relay. Running
Brown, Terhune, Mariaschin , and
Klinefelter, the diamondmen took second place from Kutztown by a substantial margin.

The Wind

Echoing through bare branches,
A mournful song is played
By the unseen wind of darkness,
On his j iightly promenade.
night,
seems
to
fill
the
song
A sad
And is re-echoed in my heart.
A lonely melody is always there
When we must be apart.
But, ah , when we're together, dear ,
The wind seems always gay,
And dances through the trees
To a merry roundelay.
