200 In Attendance
At Conference

Two hundred elementary school
teachers, principals and school administrators were among those attending the annual Elementary Education Conference held at the State
Teachers College Saturday and heard
a frank discussion of current problems of the elementary school by Dr.
Paul W . Bixby, associate professor
of education , elementary division, the
Pennsylvania State College, and President Harvey A . Andru ss. In clu ded in
the day-long conference were series
of demonstration lessons by members
of the facul ty of the Benj amin Franklin School , round - table discussion
groups , a general conference assembly in the Carver auditorium, and a
luncheon in the College dining room.
Observers stated that the Conference attracted the largest number of
persons ever to .attend a function of
its kind "on the hill." More than
three hundred persons were present
at the general, session of the conference held in the college auditorium,
while 150 remained for the conference luncheon .
Dr . Bixby spoke on the topic, "Can
Teachers Change the Curriculum?"
He told of the two standard approaches to the j ob of curriculum
making and stated that the problem
is not one for a so-called "expert" but
a j ob for the teacher . His address
was well illustrated with a. number
of graphic experiences drawn from
his personal background as a classroom teacher and school administrator, and he related his experiences to
his topic in ordei* to show his listeners that it is possible for the teacher*
to change the curriculum.
Dr . Bixby was introduced by Miss

B.S.T.C.Train Is Attracting Much Attention
As It Makes Rounds in Waller Hall Lobby

The age-old question of who enjoys
an electric train most — the children
or the grown-ups is being answered
in the Waller Hall lobby. After the
laying of rails , driving of spikes, and
oiling of engines , the B.S.T.C. ' Railroad has reached the peak of its holiday operation .
The railroad has a great backing
of stockholders who are enthusiasts
over their very successful investment .

The President, Vice-President, Secretary-treasurer , respectively, of this
venture are Lionel Livingston, Alfred
Marchettl , and Doris Gilday. Their
untiring efforts have resulted in the
expansion of the railroad's facilities.
Among the improvements made this
ye*cir is a shiny new engine, The
pleasure derived from the B.S.T.C.
train dates to the days of the navy
trainees , who made the train installation to brighten the holiday season.

The novel Water Follies sponsored
by the Business Education Club proved to be one of the highlights of the
college social calendar . Friday evening, December 5 found the bleachers
of the swimming room filled to capacity with people standing in the entrance throughout the program. The
performance began promptly at 8
with a welcome by Master of Ceremonies, Joe Cu rilla, followed by a
most graceful exhibition entitled
"Aut umn Seren ade" by Jane Price.
In contrast, the next number featured a humorous lifesaving skit by
"The Ch amps"—Al Zimmerman and
M. J. Nicholson . Mr . Nicholson made
a sen sa tion al entr an ce as he fell ou t
of his "bed" in the girders above the
pool and plummetted into the water
amid the 'horrified screams of spectators who were caught off guard. Removing his outer garments under
water, Ni cholson p r o c e e d e d to
"drown" as he wanted to be rescued
by lifeguard Zimmerman who caught
the audience eye with his unusual
swimming at tire. The lifeguard finally jumped in and was promptly
rescued by the "victim."
The next item on the program was
appropriately called "The Wayward
Duck." This episode involved four
yellow crepe paper ducks and the
black "ugly duckling" which were effectively guided about the pool by
Zita Spangler, Joanie McDonald , Grade Smith, Marj ory Smith and Marie
Mack .
Bebe Reece then rendered a beautiful vocal solo, "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
For "Somewhere In The Night,"
the pool was darkened and Marie
Mack and Marj orie Smith gave an
exhibition of graceful , synchronized
swimming which was enhanced by
the use of wrist lights.
Gracie Smith then presented several comedy vocal solos as "Mademoiselle Fi Fi" which were well received by the students.
"Black Out," a demonstration of
speed and precision swimming given
in the darkened pool by Bill Davis
and Al Zimmerman was very impressive. The swimmers had ankle and
wrist lights which made the exhibition more effective.
Bebe Reece then sang "Apple Blossom Wedding." The next number,
"Remember Way-Way Back," was a
fashion parade of old time bathing
suits involving all the girls in the
cast, with a strapless '47 model for
contrast ,
Graceful and difficult diving stunts
were then skillfully executed by Zita
Spangler , Joanne McDonald, Gracie
Smith and M. J, Nicholson.
Master of Ceremonies, Joe Curilla

rendered
the "Anniversary Song " and
as an encore , "In Love in Vain."

Men Favor Daring Dresses
On Other Girls - Not Theirs

Confidential tip to the girls—men
like daring dresses only on the other
fellow's girl—not theirs .
That was the essence of opinion expressed by a group of collegians, including Eugene Rossides of Columbia
f ootb all fa me, who served on Cosmopolitan magazine 's male-tested fashion j ury at New York's Stork Club.
"Believe it or npt they voted consistently for gowns with some covering over shoulder or upper arm or
with narrow shoulder straps," Kay
Wister fashion editor of the magazine declared . "The completely bare
shoulder decolletage was something
delightful — to them — only on the
other fellow 's girl."
Typical of college men throughout
the country, many *^ of them having
returned fro m overseas service, they
represented a cross-section of male
opinion as to how they like their women to dress. They represented Yale,
Princeton , Cornell, Amherst , Columbia , Dartmouth , the University of
Missouri and the University of Nebraska .
"Generally the boys approved of
dresses that had a sophisticated but
not too exposed look," Mrs. Wister
said. "In fact it's a look the boys
pronounced 'dreamy.'"
Rossides was particularly impressed with the slit homlino of one of the
winning dresses which embodied all
the fashion points that had been emphasized.

"It was a royal blue crepe gown 1
that bared the shoulders but covered Eg
the arms completely, " Mr s. Wister B
said . "The skirt, with sophisticated
hip-line drape, tapered to a narrow
h emline, but the slit allowed plenty
of freedom for dancing."
"Sophisticated and relaxing" was
the way Paul Stessel of the University of Missouri described one of the
winning dresses in the groups shown.
Bob Folan , Yale hockey player, and
Bob Slocum, who pitches for the
Princeton baseball team were inclined to "make haste slowly" in appraising some of the newer length dresses,
"We had better take our time, and
thrash this thing over," was the way
Folan expressed it, while Slocum said
"The length is too sudden a depart*
ure. "
When a colorful group of floorlength gowns was danced into the
room , Seth Baker , vice chairman of
the yearbook and member of the I
student council at Amherst, became a I
bit confused in his articulation;
I
"These are a great improvement on
gownless evening straps — I mean
strapless evening gowns," he said.
Other members of the jury who decided daring gowns were for other
girls—not theirs—included Dick Littauor of Cornell, Dean Graunke, University of Nebraska and Gene Bokor
of Dartmouth ,

Charlie Boyer who was high scorer
in the first two contests. In addition
to being an extraordinarily fine shot,
Boyer is a threatening defensive man v
and serves as an excellent insp iration
to any team .
Diminutive Bobby Kashner has established himself as one of the coolest
men on the Wisher squad as well as
being on e of the most accurate shooters . and ball-handlers. ^The f ormer
Bloom High star hasn 't yet found the
range but should break loose any
time.
Alternating at forward with Kash^- *
ner are such able courtmen as Nick
Kalanick of Berwick, Frank Lupashunski , Berwick , and Ed Tavalsky of
Johnstown . Lupashunski and Kalan- *
ick starred on championship teams at
Berwick and are dead shots, though,
perh aps, not quite up to their usual
standard as yet .
The tallest fellows on the squad are
Ed Jones of Milton, who has shown
that he is capable of coming through
in a pin ch , and several times last
season helped Coach Wisher out of
many tight spots , and Elmer Kreisher, j ust a freshman , who, however,
has established himself as a regular.
Scatton , Walther , and Slobozien
are players well grounded in the fundamentals of basketball and will
prove to be valuable assets as the
season progresses. ' Bob Andrews is
one of the pleasant surprises of the
season . He is a favorite with the fans
because of his cool play.

Elizabethtown Wins
In Extra Period

" Faced with two of the toughest
foes in state basketball circles, the
Huskies found the going a little tough
and lost their opening games to
Temple and Elizabethtown . However,
th e games gave the Wishermen an
opportunity to smooth out the rough
spots and to get primed for the opening of conferenc e play at Kutztown
tonight.
Bloomsburg split victories with the
Kutztown aggregation last year, winning th e first game by a 52-39 margin
but later on, with seve'ral key players
hampered by inj uries, suffered a one
point reversal. Clark Deppen , high
scoring forward, is the man to watch
on the Kutztown team .
The Kutztown game will be followed with a trip to West Chester the
following night . Thi s team which
took the Huskies into camp twice last
ye ar, is expected to be paced by Reynolds and Leonard .
The Huskies return to home territory Tuesday evening when they play
host to the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven . Though suffering heavily by the
loss of Paul Coront and Andy Sember
to the Williamsport professionals, you
can't sell the Bald Eagles short as
they still have such men as Bernie
Me t zler , Bu zz Sh aner , John McNulty,
and Ted Sh aeffer ar ou nd . Metzler is
the same fellow who scored 25 points
against the Huskies in Centennial
gymnasium last year .
The Huskies , despite their lack of
height, show promise of providing
plenty of competition this year, win

THE SPORTS DIARY
by
MILLARD C. LUDWIG

;
'

Aft er dropping decisions to Temple and Elizabethtown, the Husky basketeers take to the road this week-end to play Kutztown and West Chester.
Following that the Wisher charges return home to entertain Lock Haven
this coming Tuesday, December 16. These three games, all conference tiffs,
should determine the Huskies' chances in the STCC this winter,.
Temple has a high class outfit, that is certain. Sparked by Captain Dave Fox, a spark plug guard, who took only two shots at the
basket all evening, making them both, the Owls look like one of the
top ranking teams in the east . They have height, ball-handling
ability, a smooth passing attack , and a dangerous fast break, something which the Huskies have lacked thus far .
The Elizabethtown game was a heart-breaker to lose after the Maroon
and Gold had piled up a commanding lead, but so far as the fan was concerned he couldn 't ask for a better game. Here was a team , apparently
beaten , that came up with a ru sh and grabbed the lead from the bewildered
Huskies j ust as the third period ended . From then on it was a see-saw
battle. The one thing the Huskies didn't do which they knew had to be done
was to stop Frankie Keath . For a while it looked as though that would be
accomplished, for during the first period he was held to a single foul goal .
However, he got loose in the second half and during the last period scored
ten points to be followed with six in the overtime session .
Keath is one of the finest basketball players ever to perform in
Centennial Gymnasium . Those who have watched the quiet Cornwall athlete operate say that he is a coach's player . He will not
shoot unless he is open , and he is a dead shot under the basket. His
percentage of shots made last Saturday evening was uncanny, racking up ten field goals in 21 attempts for a mark of .476. If Keath
were in a large school, it is the belief of many that he would make
All-America.
Husky fans have had an opportunity to see two of the east' s finest players in Fox and Keath . The two play entirely different styles of ball due to
the fact that they operate in different positions, Keath usually playing left
forward and Fox left guard. The lat t er , n ow a senior , has been the mainstay
of Josh Cody's squads for four years, and it will not be surprising if he
accepts a pro offer next winter .
Reports have it that several college soccer teams in the state have
received invitations to participate in all-star games and Olympic
try-outs. At this writing, none had been received in the Husky mail
box, though the Maroon and Gold soccer eleven ranked with the top
teams of the east. It seems that the big boys still insist upon picking
players from "name" schools oven though the calibre of play is
lower.
Gettysburg, for instance, received notices for three of its players to report for try-outs on the Olympic team. Now the Bullets didn 't set the world
on fire in the boot sport this fall, winning an amazing total of two games,
tying three and dropping three. The teams * around the Philadelphia area
seemed to do all right by themselves too.
Around Thanksgiving time, Coach Bill Jeffrey, of Penn State, selected a team to jo urney through the midwest playing all-star games
at Chicago and St. Louis. Approximately eighteen players from
about seven colleges comprised the list. How this team was picked /
still remains a mystery, but apparently it was again "the little
band. " Those who saw the Husky eleven perform this year will
agree that they possessed some talent that would make the "big
boys" sit up and take notice. Had tho Huskies received an invitation
for even one player to report for a try out or an all-star game, it
would have been much more encouraging. Some of tho soccer enthusiasts are wondering what you have to do to gain recognition,
but apparently tho "big boys" have an answer.
We realize that comparative scores usually don 't mean too much as to
the outcome of an athletic event, but they are valuable in comparing* the
relative strength of various teams. Using that bit of information , then, we'll
compare the soccer team to a few others. The Huskies defeated East
Stroudsburg, 4-3, the same margin by which West Chester won over the Big
Red, (the Rams had two boys named on Jeffrey's "dream team"). Army
defeated both West Chester and Penn State by one goal margins, which if
we figure correctly, puts the Maroon and Gold in the same class. From
another angle, Temple won over West Chester, 2-1, and tied Penn State,
which brings the same answer. It might also be mentioned that the Husky
.eleven scored two goals against the Penn State Jayvees in one period. What
might they do to the varsity!!!
.
Wo have another bone to pick—tho Associated Press All-Stato
toam has Just como out, and on it we 'find Chot WasIIowskl, Mans-

field's "plundering tornado," and Indiana's Buss Carlson (third
team). Matt Maley was not given a third team position. Those who
have seen all three perform will tell you tliat Maley Is far more
consistent. Wasilewski is a good back at times, Carlson is a stellar
performer on occasions, but possibly the fact that they ranked
rather high in scoring touchdowns caught the sports writers' eyes.
If> you check the individual scoring on the Husky eleven during the past
year, you would find that it was pretty well distributed. Many teams believe
that one back should be fed the ball so he could lead the touchdown parade.
It is not good football, and such statistics are meaningless. A new system
should be devised so that points are given for setting up plays, tackling,
blocking, passing, etc . Anyway , we checked up on articles written by other
college papers about games played with the Huskies, and they didn't hesitate
to herald praise for Maley, although such a thing is not pleasant for a writer
f rom an opposing school, particularly if his play meant the ball game.
Incidentally, Maley and Frank Lucluiick were picked on Shippensburg State Teacher College's all-opponent team. The Shippers named three L-ock Haven men, three from East Stroudsburg-, and one
each from Slippery Bock, Indiana, and Millersville.
West Chester, which won the Burley Bowl from Carson-Newman College
by a score of 20-6 on Thanksgiving Day at Johnson City, Tennessee, will be
one of the first teams in history to play two bowl games in one year. The
Rams of Glenn Killinger will participate in the Cigar Bowl at Miami, Fla.
on New Year 's Day with undefeated , untied Missouri Valley College as the
opponent. The Missouri school has gone something like 33 games without a
defeat , and this should be a thriller.
It looks as though several of the professional basketball teams in
the Eastern Penna . League are drawing some of the teachers college
stars. Bay Kodish, Paul Coront, and Andy Sember are a few.

LITERARY CORNER
TOM JO NE S, A FO U NDL IN G
i

,j

(Henry Fielding; New York ; Herst's
International Library Company)
Summarized by Charles Roberts

"Tom Jones, A Foundling " rs the
story of Tom Jones, an illegitimate
child — his trials, tribulations, vices,
vir tu es, an d loves . The scene is in the
county of Somersetshire, England, inthe early eighteenth century.
Squire Allworthy raises Tom along
with his sister 's own son — Master
Blifil . Although Mr . Allworthy is led
to believe that one Jenny Jones is the
mother of Tom , his mother is, in actuality , Miss Bridgett Allworthy, the
Squire 's sister . By the time Tom
reaches the age of eighteen , he has
grown into a handsome, well-mannered young gentleman ; whereas Master
Blifil has developed many vicious tendencies.
Mr . Jones , at this time, however,
becomes involved in an "affair" with
a certain Molly Seagfiffl ; and when
he learns that ,she is carrying his
child , he confesses his sins to the
Squire who forgives him . His attentions then turn toward the heroine of
the story, the beautiful Sophia Western , who r ecipr ocates in kind .
Squire Western , Sophia 's father,
decides that Sophia shall marry Blifil.;
but she rej ects this plan . Blifil , in
order to remove Tom as a stumbling
block in his courtship of Sophia , by
deceit, dis credi ts Mr . Jones in the
eyes of Squire Allworthy who banishe s To m f r om his ho u se .
Meanwhile, Sophia learns that her
father intends to maintain his idea of
marrying her to Blifil so she flees
from the scene. From this point; the
plot concerns the flight of Sophia as
she flees first from her father; and
later, from Tom, because of his infidelity. Squire Western finally gives
up the chase, and Tom loses track of
Sophia in London .

Tom meets a Lady Bellaston, who,
unknown to him , is sheltering Sophia,
and an "affair " results. Lady Bellaston , inadvertently, aids Tom in once
more contacting Sophia . In j ealousy,
Lady Bellaston plans, with the* help
of one Lord Fallamar, to f or ce Mis s
Western to marry ; thus giving Lady
Bellaston an open field as far as
Tom 's affections are concerned . Thi s
scheme is foiled by the arrival of
Sop hia 's father who has learned of
her whereabouts .
Mr . Allworthy and Blifil now appear in London with the express purpose of Blifil's marriage to Miss
Wes tern . Sophia again rej ects all
thoughts along these lines.
Meanwhile, Tom has been cast into
j ail as a result of a duel with a Mr.
Fitzpatrick over the amours of his
wife . Although Tom is innocent of
all charges , he is forced to wound
Mr . Fitzpatrick in order to save his
own life . Because of lies, told by
several men hired by Lord Fallamar
to discredit Mr ,- Jones, as to who instigated the duel, Tom is held for
possible murder .
At this point, Squire Allworthy
learns that Blifil has lie*d to him
about Tom ; therefore he relents in
hi s feelings toward Jones and attempts to aid in Tom's rele ase fro m
prison, in which venture, he, the
Squire, is successful. The Squire also
learns from Jenny Jones that his sister, Mrs. Bridgett Blifil nee Allworthy, is Tom 's true mother.
Wh en Mr . Western learns that
Tom is actually Squire Western 's
nephew, his feelings toward Mr. Jone s
change and he is now agreeable to
Tom's courtship of his daughter,
Sophia . Sophia , however, is not quite
as kind ; and at first, she refuses to
marry him (in my opinion to test his
love). At last, Sophia abandons her
false attitude and marries Tom with
the resultant happiness of all concerned .

Veteran 's
Corner

Student-veterans who drop out of
schools and colleges before completing their course were cautioned today
by. Veteran s Administration that they
will have to comply with more strict
1 requirements to get a VA certificate
to reenter training under the G-I Bill.
VA explained that veterans must
¦ have a supplemental certificate of
eligibility when they change from one
school or training establishment to
anoth er .
A veteran , who of his own volition
interrupts his training at a time
other than at the end of a term, semester or training period , will not be
issued such a certificate until he establishes satisfactory evidence that :
(a) His interruption resulted from
good cause, i.e., illness, economic conditions , or other circumstances beyond 'his control.
(b) The institution or establishment in which he was training is willing to reaccept him as a student or
trainee.
Questions and Answers
Most veterans have only a vague
idea about parts of the Veterans Administration 's program for veterans.
Here are a few questi ons and answers
which have been frequently brought
up.
Q—I received an overpayment in
subsistence allowance after I left
school . Will I have to refund the
amount I received to the Government ?
A—Yes .
Q—How and where do I apply for
hospitalization for a service-connected disability ?
A—See your nearest Veterans Administration contact representative
or apply at a VA regional office or
hospi ta l . A letter addressed to the
nearest VA office also will suffice. In
case of emergency, yo ucan telephone
the nearest VA office collect .
Q—I am being rehabilitated under
Public Law 16 and I would like to
know what medical treatment is
available to me?
A—Under the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 16) you are
entitled to any kind of medical treatment needed (hospital or out-patient)
to prevent interruption of your training.
Q—Am I eligible to benefits under
Public Law 16 if I was discharged for
a service-connected disability before
I had served 90 days in the armed
forces ?
A—Yes. For purposes of Public
Law 16, service of 90 days in the
armed forces is not required ,
Q—May a veteran receiving disability compensation , receive ,at the
same time subsistence allowance under Public Law 346 ?
A—Yes,
With the first on-the-campus checkup of subsistence payments ended,
Veterans Administration said it will
continue to send representatives to
every school and college during the
second week of each month of the
1947-48 school year,

Girls' Sp orts

by Norma Eber

it or not the girls of B.S.T.C. are
also giving their talents to the world
of sports . Just to prove that women
are not always the weaker sex, there
is a variety of activity in the Centennial Gym under the direction of
Miss Lucy McCammon , director of
the Girls Health Education .
There is the "B" Clu b, .which is an
organization of women who have
achieved a given number of athletic
points through outside activities such
as hiking, badminton , tennis, bowling,
horse-back riding, swimming and participation in the vvarious athletic opportunities which are afforded us
here at B.S.T.C.
In the basketball world there are
ten teams consisting of eight girls on
a team . The season starts after the
Christmas holidays and will continue
through a full round-robin tournament . Practices are now being scheduled for Thursday nigh ts and vacant
periods. There is also ample opporVA said the monthly visits , which
began in November , are designed to
eliminate even the most isolated
cases of delayed subsi stence payments to veterans studying under the
G-I Bill .
VA representatives making the
monthly surveys are prepared to expedite action to remove the cause of
any delay s in payments to students.
The represen tative reports delayed
payments directly to the office in
which the account is kept . Office
staffs expedite the claim until the
account is paid .
Only five weeks remain in which
National Service Life Insurance policies that have lapsed may be reinstated without necessity of taking a
physical examination , Veterans Administration said .
After the deadline date of December 31, 1947, policies that have lapsed
more than three months cannot be
reinstated without the veteran proving his insurability by a complete
physical examination .
At the present time, and until the
end of «the year, a veteran may reinstate term insurance in most cases
by simply signing a statement to the
effect that his health is as good as it
was at the time of lapse. Then , by
payment of two monthly premiums,
his insurance can be reinstated . •/

The captains of the various teams
are Lillian Mlkvy, Lou ise Hess, Loi s
Ev ans, Eloise Symons , Mae Brund a ge, Fran ces Cerc hiaro , Winifred
Sharkey, N aomi Clark , K a therin e
Graham and Gay Polutis .
The "girls also played cageball on
Thursday nights at Open House. This
tournament ended at Thanksgiving
and the fin al standing of the teams
were as follows : the teams captained
by Donna Mitrani and Helen Tietzen
tied for first place; and in their prospective order we find the teams of
LaFerne Shirk, Rita Di x on , Mae
Brundage, Katherine Graham , Pat
Brace, and Marj orie Brunner .
Margie Brunner 's team deserves
honorable mention for they were the
only team with 100 per cent attendance and each girl will receive an
extra 25 points towards their letter
"B" .
Badminton started last Thursday
night and will run till after Christmas .
On Sunday afternoon a tea will be
given a t Miss McCammon 's home for
those girls who have participated in
Open House at least three timas during the season and award s will be
given to those who have earned them.
So "Hats off" to Miss McCammon
and the wonderful j ob she is doing to
promote girls' sports here at B.S.T.C.
