Mr. Bertrand Shurtleff , nationally
known au thority on wrestling and
author , presented a very interesting
program at a recent assembly at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
Mr. Shurtleff spoke on the many interesting phases of professional and
amateur wrestling and illustrated
with the aid of several students ,
much of his material.
Shurtleff , former professional football player, drew heavily on his vast
experiences as a wrestler, football
player and athlete, for colorful illustrations.
The program Mr. Shurtleff presented proved to be an interesting
and entertaining one. Almost all of
the students were amazed at his
strength and endurance which, Mr.
Shurtleff pointed out, were the result of much practice and application
of wrestling principles.

Our Major Problems

Bloomsburg , Players
The Bloomsburg Players is the
oldest organization on our campus.
It was organized to provide a work
shop for students interested in directing and acting in plays.
Weekly plays are staged for the
benefit of the club members. Student direc tors are in charge of these
one-act plays and they work under
the faculty director. At different
times during the school year the
club presents short plays for the rest
of the college community. Frequently the club presents plays for organizations downtown. Usually t h e
Bloomsburg Players present two or
three long plays each year. This custom is to be revived soon.
The main obj ective of this organization is to train students to participate in educational dramatics so that
they are able to produce their own
plays when they go out to teach.
Credit is giv en for participa tion in
plays, directing plays, working on
state sets , properties, and costumes.
Membership to this organization
has been by -try-cute, generally, and
the number of the club members is
limited to 75.
Miss Johnston is the club sponsor.
Anne Willia ms is acting President
until a new one is elected. The other officers are: Vice-President, Doris
Gilday; Secretary, Peggy Suchy, and
Treasurer, Martha Stitzell.
The club holds weekly meetings
Tuesdays at 7:00 P. M., in the Carver
Hall Auditorium.
Business Education Club
The Business Education Club is
for all members of the Department of
Business Education.
The objective of this club—"In order to promote interest in the organization of commercial clubs in high

"Eeeeeeee! Beechnut Gum!"
This sudden barbaric outcry caused me to look up from page 3465,
Vol. 5, of the "Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire" just in time to
see a certain carnivorous female
snatch a piece of Beechnut Gum
from the hand of some innocent
"Milquetoast" ; feverishly tear the
paper from it; and thrust it into her
mouth. She chewed on it violently
for a few moments, dropped back in
her chair and gave a deep sigh of reli ef , not unlike the relief- which accompanies an adrenaline injection.
It takes the bombing of cities to
bring home the war and horrors - of
war to the people. In the same manner it takes a "Beechnut Bobbysock"
in the midst of gum fustration to remind us of the seriousness of the situation which has arisen from the
Beechnut shortage.
>
The shortage of Beechnut has created a number of serious problems
which we hope may be remedied in
the near future.
If we look closely we will see that
the number of chairs, desks, and other types of furniture around the
campus that have fallen into a state
of delapidation is appalling. If we
will examine this furniture more
closely we will notice, upon passing
our hand over the surfaces normally
unexposed, an absence of those
lumps and protrusions so common
during gum prosperity. Tests have
proven that for firmness of frame
seven out of every thirteen people
prefer Beechnut.
Since Beechnut has become so
scarce there is a decided increase in
the number of persons who have
taken up the almost extinct art of
biting one's fingernails during examinations, but this lias decided disadvantages when we consider that the
quantity is limited. As a result there
is a definite lack of quality in the
answers to examination questions.
This lack of quality is not present in
the answers given by chewers of
Beechnut.
There are a lot of unsuccessful
love affairs mushrooming up on the
campus as a result of trying to satisfy the Beechnut infatuation. It's not
the money he has , the clothes he
wears, or the company he keeps, but
the gum he chews. Most cases are
love at first sight (of Beechnut) and
generally are not lasting. When the
gum gives out so does love.
This is the situation as it exists on
our campus, In order to relieve the
emergency somewhat , may we suggest:
1. That you chew each stick of gum
two or more times. When not
chewing place it behind the right
ear, midway between the top and
the bottom. Experiments have
proved that this is the most ideal
spot.

It was a close game most of the

They built this up to eight points.
Then the Huskies started a counter
offensive but it fell short of the goal.

ting it ready for planting. A new experience made it impera tive that the
boy learn a new word. Thereafter
he could use it intelligently. Furthermore he had need of it.
It. seems to me, t hen , that the collego student will do well to give attention to expanding experience
along ever so many fron ts. Much of
this expanding will come through the
eyes and ears of others, in reading, in
conversation , in pictures. Given a
new experience, we shall seek to
procure a name for it.
If we are creative, we may push
out into fields in which words coined
to date do not carry meanings or
shades of feeling. With a background
of linguistic ma terials, we may even
coin some. Let this be distinguished
from the blu ndering misuse of words
supposedly in existence. The two
are miles apart. New situations impel us to manufacture .or convert
words. So we have "television ,"
"beach-head ," and "blitz. "
Evei-y day of college life ought to
be pushing back frontiers, reaching
out into new worlds of thinking. Just
as the early explorers of America
learned of "wigwam" and "papoose "
and used them naturally, so will the
alert collegian. Lazy enrollers will
go along sloppily using a meager list
of words wi th restricted shades of
meaning and mood, when with a
minimum of energy they can say, "It
sure was swell," and let that suffice
for whatever the hearer reads into it.
But up-on-their-toes y o u t h are
bound to get words. In a nutshell, I
would say, get the experience and
the words will take care of themselves.

"How do you get your words?"
This question bobs up again and
again in a school year. Apparently
some students think there's a secre t
knack to vocabulary tricks. If there
is, I have never found it.
Occasionally I run on word hunters. On the whole they are as merciless and unnecessary as head hunters of interior Africa. These are the
ones who spot a new word , usually
an inch and a half long, and t hen
wait for an occasion to spring it on
the unsuspec ting. I recall a young
man who got hold of the word "perspicacity " and its adj ective derivative. He draped it around his tongue
and pushed it through his puckered
lips . Then one day the oppor tunity
came. He referred in conversation
to an old lady noted for her inclination to make the most of a juicy bit
of gossip. So said he, "She's certainly perspicacious in her conversational proclivities." The fellow had resolved to build up a vocabulary. He
could be detected a block away.
The healthier and more normal
way is to follow the growth of children . A lad of five or so was making
his first visit to the farm. He saw
a strange bit of machinery with
sharp teeth resting on the ground.
"What's that?" he asked.
"That's a harrow," replied his dad .
"What's it for?" Then came an
exposition of the use of the implement in pulverizing the soil and get-
