Thirte en Students
Receive Bachelo r
of Science Degree s

Thirteen students completed the
requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
A convocation was held in the College Audi torium to commemorate the
event, and the graduating class was
addressed by President Harvey A.
Andruss, who spoke on the topic - of
"So You're Going to Teach."
The part of 'education in a world
weary of war, so as to promote peace,
was in the light of the meetings of
the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization,
which met in London, November 1 to
16, 1945. President Andruss, who
was stationed at Shrivenham , Berks,
as Head of th>e Department of Accounting in the American Army University there, attended some of the
sessions.
The place of education in the new
world order for peace can be realized
from the statement that "war is made
in the minds of men and it is there
that defenses of peace must be constructed." Each generation must be
educated to understand that race ,
color and creed must cooperate and
understand one another to the end
that they live together in this world
where transportation has made everyone the neighbor of everyone else.
The teacher of children—the next
generation—is, therefore, in a strategic position to build for the peace
of the world of tomorrow.
The graduates included: Linda Culver , Elementary, Wyalusing; Edwin
Deleski, Business, Bloomsburg ; Doris
Dicki n son , Elementary, LaPl um e;
Elizabeth Ertel, Business, Williamsport; Henry Gatski, Secondary,
Bloomsburg; Wanda Kehler , Business, Ashland; Virginia King, Secondary, Dallas; Norine Miles, Business, Shenandoah; Audrey Parsell,

Miss Johnston
Returns to College

WELCOME!
The College extends a cordial welcome to the new students. A great
majority of them are service men going to college under the provisions of
the G. I. Bill. Many are former students who have returned to complete
their education at the college, but a sizable number are entering B. S. T. C.
for the first time.
Their group makes a pleasant and welcome increase in the size of the
classes and the various organizations. The general friendly atmosphere , too,
ulready pervading the campus has been uplifted by the addition of new and
different persoushities.

The faculty and students of B. S.
T. C. are glad to welcome back Miss
Johnston, head of our Speech Department, who has returned after a
year 's leave of absence.
Shortly af ter leaving B. S. T. C.
last year, Miss Johnston taught
Speech in Hunter 's College for the
spring semester. Wihile at Hunter
she studied lip reading at the Nitchi
School in New York City.
Then she left for Hofr 's General
Hospital at Santa Barbara , California ,
to be on the Rehabilitation Staff in
the Hearing Center.
The Hospital, which was under the
Ninth Service Command, closed the
first par t of December. It was divided into several centers, one was the
Hearing Center which had fortyseven instructors on its staff.
The patients in the Hearing Center
were Army men (Veterans) who had
lost or partially lost their hearing because of shell shock or concussion, or
who had perhaps been deaf since
childhood. They were enlisted men
or office rs, coming from all walks of
life , and ranging from colonels to
buck privates.

pressure on the Millersville Teach^P^

with a field goal, and a foul; and in

The Huskies led by a small margin
throughout the game, and with four
minutes remaining, the Millersville
quintet had pulled up to a 2 point
load. Pat Flaherty saved the game
by tossing in a goal from far out to
tie the count. At this time, Scarcella ,
who played a brilliant ball game was
evicted from the game upon, committing his fifth personal foul . Bernhart
was the man fouled, but failed to

I. B. S. POLL STUDIES
STUDENT LISTENERS
Radio listening habits of American
college students will be scrutinized;.
in a survey launched today by tite
Intercollegiate Broadcasting Systeaau
Approximately 2000 students will fee
asked to name their favorite types o(
programs, their favorite stations,
their best listening times. This is believed to be the first time that the
audience of college students has been
systematically studied .
Following the pre-test at Princeton
University, the survey will move on
to the nineteen other colleges which
have member stations of the IBS.
The survey will study listening to
"outs id e" ra dio stat i ons as well as to
the IBS stations which are operated
by the students themselves and
heard only on the campus,
Designed to discover what students
like to hear on the radio, the poll is
directed, by the nntlonal office of IBS
In New York. The questions will be

. Los Negres Island
Monday, January 7, 1946.

Dear Mr. Wilson ,
I received a copy of the "Maroon and Gold" the other cl.'iy, and it was
just like a letter from B. S. T. C. I'm glad to see (lie .school is once again
back on a peace time basis , and I hope it won 't be long before I can come
back.
In case you've lost track of me, I'm still out here in the blue Pacific—
in the Admiralties—where I have been since August 13, 1944. I am starting on my 20th month overseas now , and I guess it will probably be 22 or
more before I return.
:•>< For fourteen months, I was stationed on a small island air base, which
turned out what might be called a man-sized job of making ready planes
for combat. It was instrumental in the invasions of Moroiai , Peleliu, and
the Philippines. The name of the island is Pityiiu , not to confuse it with
Peleliu. which is in the PaUtu group.
Right now, however, I am based on Los Negros, the "strategic point"
when the Admiralties were first invaded. This island has two air strips, but
only one is kept up—Momole by name. The other , a mammoth 9,000 f oo t
double lane affair , is no longer in use. In fact , this is the olily remaining
active strip in. the Admiralty Islands. Before the war , t hese isla n ds wer e a
mandate of Australia, and we may give them back to them.
Since I graduated from Radio School in May, 1944 , I have been constantly attached to radio and communications. Many times, because of a
shortage of manpower, we were called upon to work in the decoding office ,
take care of the telephone switchboard , teletype , or any number of things.
This was especially the case at Pityiiu. I was transferred over here October 9.
" x This communications outfit has ihe responsibility of communications
with all planes going out and coining in here. Types of planes most seen
are R4D, R5D, (which is the same as the C-54 Douglas Globestcr) , and
R5C. Others are B-25 Mitchells , 13-26 Mauradcrs , E-24 Libe r a t ors , FBYSA's,
and all sorts of smaller craft. We were very busy for a time , but lately
things have slacked off a bit.
So far as getting home in concerned , I a m o verdue , but they will not
send us home until replacements arrive because we are short handed. However, because the point score took another drop, I don 't think I will be home
before I get my points, which won 't probably be until April. That will seem
a long time, but I'll just have to "sweat it out" I guess. It dertainly will be
good to get back to civilian life again.
Christmas was spent in a rather quiet manner out here. This was my
third away from .home, and I certainly hope to be around by next year . We
ushered our New Year in here just fifteen hours ahead of you .
I picked up some rather interesting bits of information in regard to the
weather statistics out here. The total rainfall for last year was 15,5.47 inches, which is plenty of rain. The maximum temperature was 93.5 degrees.
However, this was taken in absolute shade, and the aerologist tells me that
out in the sun the thermometer would soar to 135 or 140 each day without
much trouble. The minimum temperature this year was 70 degrees. The
maximum wind was 50 knots and was in the form of a small tornado , which
we experienced during the month of December . Other months there is very
little wind.
Because I am in communications , I ha ve access to a radio all of the
time and that is one thing jl would miss most. We have a fine Hallicrafter
in our Quonset hunt, and it can pick up the states any time of the day or
night.
!
Even in this intense huat , it is seldom too hot to sleep at night. Our huts
are open at both ends find there are also openings on the sides and small
ventilators on the roof.
The food isn't anything to bras about , but I suppose it could be worse.
We have movies every night and there arc competitive sports , although not
in such a big way as at Pityiiu. I naturall y take advantage of this set-up.
By the way, it isn 't any trouble to get a tan out here.
I suppose a lot of the fellows who were in the service are returning at
the beginning of the second semester. I see quite a lew of them had in September,
Well, I haven 't written much , but I just thought I'd permit you to know
how much I enjoyed the "M . & G, " Keep up the p;ood work.
As Ever ,

BUSINESS ED. CLUB
ADOPTS NEW SONG

Continued From Page One
The men were given an eight-week
course or longer , which included lip
reading and whatever speech correction they needed. They were also
equipped with special hearing devices
to suit the individual.
They were helped to acquire
"Speech Insurance," for when per sons lose their hearin g they gradually
lese the sound of many letters. When
they don 't hear words th ey can't reproduce certain sountte—usually high
frequency sounds like "S," "TH,"
and "Z."
Miss Johnston gave daily lessons
in Speech Correction either to classes or to individuals—depending of
course on the man 's handicap. Her
classes were similar to those taught
here at B. S. T. C, although there
was one outstanding factor there
which we can use to advantage. "The
men were very eager and enthusiastic in their desire to learn."
Miss Johnston enjoyed her work
very much and found it different and
interesting. She discovered that the
American. still has a grand spirit of determination and a wonderful sense of humor.

a member of the club. She also
wished the cjub continued success in
their work.
The program opened with a club
song written by Mr. Rygiel to the
tune of "Long, Long Trail." It was
suggested that the members write a
second verse of the song for the next
meeting. '
Following the song, Mr. Rygiel, the
club advisor, gave an interesting and .
educational talk to the members on
"How to Organize and Keep a Business Club Active." He took each
step of organizing a club, and illu strated the various methods and procedures necessary to complete it. He
also explained the different kinds of
clubs the teachers can organize in
the Business Education Department.
Curricular and extra-curricular club
activities and how each functions was
also explained .
During the talk a copy of the club
constitution was distributed to each
member and discussed. Mr. Rygiel
also distributed a number of club
annuals and historian's BooKs for the
club to inspect. The club voted on
putting out an annual this year. The
committees for the project will be
announced at a future date. A discussion period preceeded the closing
of the meeting.

OBITER STAFF COMPLETED

group pictures and individual pictures are being made and notices will
be posted to this effect. The staff
would appreciate any snapshots of
the campus or students that are
available.
The price of the yearbook will
be the same as last year, $3.00, so
anyone who wants a book should be
prepared when those selling the
yea rbook knock at his door.
The class must have the students'
cooperation since there is little time
to complete the book .

The two major benefits which the
VA may not be able to put into effect
until March 28 are inclusion of correspondence schools under the educational title of the bill and approval
of business loans for working capital
and operations, General Bradley said.
