Five Years of Transition . . .
What of the Future?

Student Acti vities
The accelerated program, w ith Its
heavier academic load, caused the termination of many extra-cu rricular activities . Social life in terms of formal
dances, dinners, and those activities
requiring transportation were of necessity curtailed , hence the arrangement of activities in order of worth
has preserved and even enhanced the
contribution of the Maroon and Gold
(college newspaper) and the Obiter
(now the all college year hook). Social life has centered itself of necessity around the campus, with the result that a social room for men and
women has been installed near the
old gymnasium so as to make dancing
possible.
To provide light refreshments on
the campus , a canteen for Navy Men
and College Students has been in operation for over a year and has provided 1ho funds necessary for the
publication of the Yearbook .
St udent contributions to the Red
Cross, National War Fund , U.S.O.
Dri ves, and the pu rchase of war bonds
and slan ts has attained a high level
of which the college is proud .
When t ravel has permitted , student
representatives fro m the college have
attended conventions of the Eastern
States Association of Professional
Schools for Teachers in • New York
City, and the State Conventions for
the Government Associations of the
various State Teachers Colleges,
Week-end recreation journeys to
Eagles Mere were a popular activity
in the summer of 1944 and are to be
continued in 1945, Intercollegiate
sports — football , basketball,, soccer,
wrestling, track , and intramural competition have been maintained during
this period except for the year 1941194 2.
What of tile Future?
With the possible Jormination of the
Nn\y Programs, ilu> immediate problem of the college* calendar must be
considered. Since all other Teachers
Colleges opernIe on a two-somosterthrec-sununer-sossions calendar ,' we
nre legally bound to return to that
basis with the termination of the war
programs, Tho transition from one
calendar to another can bo oaaly
matte following the conclusion of the
term or trimester .in June , 1945.
Aside from the mechanics of the
calendar , we have noted that tho con-

by harvey a. andruss

tlnuous three year round calendar
which formerly was spread over four
years With JfiUnnner vacations h at; (a)
caused noticeable student physical
fatigue and Lugging student <-fiort ;
and (b) an equally evident tension
on the part of the faculty. If such u
calendar is to be continued , specific
provision should be made so that faculty members will not be scheduled to
teach continuously for more than 80
weeks over two college years of 96
weeks.
Bloomsburg places over 90% of its
grad u ates, as shown by a survey completed in 1941. A study of 1,025 graduates who completed the requirements
for the Degree of Bachelor of Science
in Education over the ten year period
from 1931 to 1940, inclusive, discloses
the fact that 92% have been gainfully
em ployed . Of these over 77% were
engaged in teaching, while 15% were
in other occupations. This leaves only
8% to be accounted for in such activities as homemaking, government , continued college attendance, and the
unemployed.

Military Training
The American Council on Education
declared today that 47 per cent of
American college administrators oppose universal military trainin g bocause it may regiment "the minds of
our youths."
And most college educators favor
a delay in the decision on a peacetime draft until after peaco is established , the council added.
Tho educators' viewpoint , determined through a poll, wore made known
on the eve of hearings by the House
Committee on postwar military policy
on tho subject .
Announcing tho results of a survey
taken among 1,196 college and university presidents, conducted j ointly with
the American Association of Junior
Colleges, A , J, Brumbaugh , council
vice president , said in a statement:
"Tho opposition to conscription on
tho part of college administrators is
not due to any fear as to the effect
upon the college ; tho opposition is due
primarily to tho fonr of what universal military training will do in regimenting tho minds of our youth, "
