Recommend Salary Hikes
Washington , Jan . 25 — More and
better teachers for colleges and universities through increased salaries
and an expanded program of preparation to teach were recommended today by President Truman 's commi ssion on higher education .
In its fourth of six reports looking
to educational opportunity for "every
American to the fullest extent of his
ability, " the commissioner's report
today dealt with "staffing higher education " and said:
"The serious problems which confront higher education today only
foreshadow the even greater problems of the years ahead . Accelerating social change , increasing demands for world citizenship, pyramiding technological developments,
greater emphasis upon ethical ideals
—all create demand for qualities in
faculty personnel now too rare on
college and universi ty campuses. "
The commission said that if "quantitative and qualitative " demand s are
to be met, immediate steps must be
t aken to:
1—Give better preparation to larger numbers of prospective faculty
members.
2—Improve the present methods of
recruitment, selection , and placement
of faculty personnel .

3—Develop and expand in-service
education programs.
4—Enhance the working conditions
of all who carry the responsibility for
post-high school education.
The commission said that even in
the "strongest" institutions the average salary for teachers in 1946-47
wa s $3,867 for a 9-month period. The
"average " physician would make
twice that , the "average " r eal estate
salesman in a city of 50,000 about 50
per cent more, it added .
"The professor in 1947," the report
said , "taught more students , worked
longer hours, shouldered graver responsibilities, and received substantially less real income than he did in
1940 . 'Many institutions were m aking
significant increases, but the maj ority of the faculty salaries had not
kept pace with inflated living costs."
The commission recommended that :
1—The beginning salary should be
sufficiently high to meet competition
and to attract outstanding talent.
2—There should be early increases
in salary sufficient to hold excellent
teachers and research specialists .
3—The salary schedule should provide for reasonable increases based
upon satisfactory performance within
each cates-orv of rank.

Bloomsburg Only Teachers
College in National Program
The distinction of being the only
institution of its kind participating in
the nationwide testing program of
the American Institute of Accountants belongs to the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College. Sixty-seven leading universities and colleges throughout the United States are participatin g in the A.I.A . program which has
as its primary purpose the promotion
of better education among institutions which are preparing persons for
the accounting profession ,
Bloomsburg is the only State
Teachers College on the 1948 list of
cooperating institutions which includes such nationally-famous schools
as the Harvard University School of
Business, Wharton School of Finance
at the University of Pennsylvania,
and Schools of Business and Commerce at the University of Wisconsin ,
University of Michigan , University of
Southern California , and others .
*The American Institute of Accounttants, the national organization of
certified public accountants , inaugurated this proj ect a number of years

ago in order to improve the education
of students in the field of accounting.
An improvement in instruction in
public school accounting courses has
been another important outgrowth of
the program .
All students majoring in accounting at Bloomsburg will take the examination which consists of a prognostic or general accounting aptitude
test and two comprehensive achievement tests. The tests are given at
the end of the third and sixth semesters of the accounting course. Results are interpreted in terms of nationwide norms * or standard s, and
Bloomsburg students can measure
their progress and ability with comparable scores in the sixty-six cooperating colleges.
Earl A . Gehrig, instructor in accounting in the Department of Business Education , administers the local
program . Gehrig stated yesterday
that Bloomsburg students rate well
in comparison with hundreds of other accounting students who have
taken the tests during the past year.

22 Receive
R S* Degrees

Twenty-two seniors of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College were
presented for the degree of Bachelor
of Science in Education at simple but
impressive graduation exercises held
Jan . 15, 1948 in the Carver Hall auditorium . All of the sixteen men who
will receive their diplomas upon completion of the current semester are
veterans of World War II and most
of them attended Bloomsburg before
en tering the armed f orces.
The convocation, climaxed by the
presentation of the candidates for degrees by Dr . Thomas P. Nor th , Dean
of Inst ru ction at th e College, was
featured by a timely address by
President Harvey A. Andruss.
Speaking on the subj ect , "Dilemmas of Today," President Andruss
claimed that one of the marks of an *
educated man is his ability to look
beyond the ever - simplifications of
ready-made thinking of news commentators and newspaper headlines „
and take the long view in order , to
make this world a better place in
which to live. He urged his audience
to avoid being forced to choose between two alternatives — dilemmas
set up with the thought that in the
choice we will reach a predetermined
opini on .
During his address, the College
head warned his listeners of the dangers of over-simplification and in
choosing alternatives, either of which
would cause us to supplant what we
have with something new or untried
rather than supplement it with something better . He indicated that many
times we do the right things for the
wrong reasons, but if the eventual
effect is wholesome, one should not
question the motives if the means is
offered to improve the world in
which we live.
During the program , President Andruss read the Scripture lesson which
was chosen from the twenty - fifth
chapter of St. Matthew and Joseph
Curilla , Mt . Carmel, san g a baritone
solo, "Ask For Nothing More" by
Deis - Swinburne. His accompanist
was Miss June Keller, Benton . Audience singing of "America the Beauti-.
ful," which opened the convocation,
and the College Alma Mater, which
closed the exercises, was under the
direction of Miss Harriet M. Moore.
Howard F, Fenstemaker, Sr., was at
»
the console of the organ .
Graduates who are completing the
requirements * for the degree are:
Paul Baker, Bloomsburg, Business;
Edward Bollinger , Erie, Secondary;

Letter from Former Student

FASHION FLASHES . .

As my teach ers an d classmates will no dou b t adm i t , I h ave
never yet passed up an opportunity to talk. 1 guess that sometimes
even I have made my own opportunities.
In 1943 w h en I came to Bloomsbur g as a member of the first
V-12 unit , t h rou gh out my Navy career , an d during my return to
college, I always thought of myself as a self-sufficient individual
capable of handling my own affairs. After one week of teaching
school on my own , delusions, have crumbled like the fenders of my
old car. Teaching school is one! of the hardest jobs a person can do,
and make no mistake about it . I do everything from passing out
drinking cups to taking B-B' s out of little boys ears with a magnet.
(I am a science teacher you see. ) Oh , to be back in a nice soft , comfortable seat in B.S.T.C. without a care in the world except maybe
to wonder whether next month's check will be on time .
The one serious thing I would like to sfj y is that when I speak of
my "h ome " to anyone I shall always mean Bloomsburg in great part
because of the fine times and fine friends I have had there. I will
never forget the valley.
And now since I have had my say I must go out and talk to my
car and see whether or not I walk again tomorrow.
Goodbye to you all .
Sincerely,
Ed. Bollinger"

1948, A Good New Year
And, so, here we are in another new year—1948—another twelve months
for a new start.
What should be our resolutions — as Americans — for this new year ?
These thret? are worth considering.
First of all, let's all of us work together as never before—on our j obs,
in our homes and in our social and religious groups. Teamwork helps us
accomplish big things—an d it's so much more fun to work together than
to pull apart .
Next, how about all of us doing a better j ob, no matter what our job
may be? There 's satisfaction in knowing that we're doing better this year
than last year — let's do it better.
Finally, wouldn't it be a good thou ght for 1948 to keep promoting freedom under our American System ? In a world where freedom is still being
attacked, let's fight for our own ideas of freedom—freedom for the individual, freedom for business—ideas of freedom that have helped make- this
the' greatest country on earth.
1948~-a good new year for working together, doing a better job, promoting freedom-—all in the American Way.

Gain 56 * 45 Win
Over Kings Five
At Wilkes-Barre, Saturday, January 17, the charges of Peter Wisher
came from behind after yielding a
commanding lead to defeat a fast
traveling King's College team , 56-45,
in the first game of the March of
Dimes double header before 2,000
fans in the West Side Armory .
With Bobby Kashner pouring in 22
markers, well - distributed over the
four quarters , and Eddie Jones coming back with some valuable assistance in the final canto , the Maroon
and Gold fought back to win from
the Brockmen .
The Huskies had taken a 28-18
lead at halftone, and the crowd
thought it looked like the ball game.
However , the rangy King's team rallied and went ahead , 31-28, before
Bloomsburg could score again . At
one time late in the third quarter,
. the homesters led, 36-31. In addition
to Kashner and Jones, Bob Walther,
Bob Andrews, Sonny Boyer , and
Elmer Kreiser played a prominent
part in th© la§t period surge when
the Huskies tallied 22 markers.

Millersyille's Marauders proved to
be as unpredictable as the local Huskies when they upset the Bloomsburgers, 47-39, at the down-state school
last Friday night .
The Huskies led most of the way,
but with two minutes to go the- Millers put the game on ice and continued to pile up the score in the waning seconds , Leading the Miller attack was Whitey Korkuch , Shamo¦ki n, who gathered 15 points. Schultz,
who almost single-handedly defeated
the Huskies at Millersville last year,
came through with 11 markers ,
Sonny Boyer showed some of his
old sparkle with 12 points , Jones had
nine and Kashner seven. The Millersville court continued to be a pest to
Husky basketeers , for the Maroon
and Gold have run into a great deal
of'trouble on the Miller floor in recent years.

E* Stroudsburg , Shippensburg, Mansfield Games
Will Determine Husky Final Standing in State

The Huskies face three tough foes "
in succession, starting tonight at
East Stroudsburg, in contests that in Husky Cage Squad Ranks Fourth In Conf erence Play
all probability will determine their
final rating in the conference.
In t oni ght's aff air, a renewal of
one of the oldest teachers college rivalries after a lapse of one year,
Bloomsburg will face an opponent
that has lost but two games out of
five played thus far. Both losses were
to the high flying Lafayette quintet
by comparatively close scores.
Though the winners of three contests , the game tonight will mark the
first conference competition for the
Big Red. New Britain Teachers,
Trenton Teachers, and Scranton University have bowed to this East
Stroudsburg outfit . This is quite an
impressive record after a dismal
season last year.
Two Tough Games Next Week
The Huskies have two tough games
next week, meeting the Shippensburg
Red Raiders here on Tuesday and
j ourneying to Mansfield on Friday. <
Shippensbu rg will be seeking revenge , for their only reversal to date
has been at the hands of the Huskies
on the Shippensburg floor. With Marlin Kessler and Norm McClelJan at
th e forward positions and big Jeb

Visitors Break Last Minu te Tie
! To Chalk Up 53-51 Victor y
!
\

On the basis of the past performances to date, we are inclined to opine
the fact that the Bloomsburg State Teachers College basketeers are a "hot
and cold" ou tfit . They h ave been "on " several times, and they have also
been "off. " Coach Wisher seems to have summed things up in a concise
manner by saying that when the team is on they could beat anyone, including Temple—but when the squad isn't clicking they might lose to a gym
?
team ,
Including: last Monday night's game with Mansfield, the Huskies
show a season's record of five victories and five losses. That is good
considering: the schedule; however, had they played consistent ball at
least two of those setbacks could easily have been triumphs. Three of
the defeats inflicted upon the Wishermen have been close games. The
Elizabethtown tilt went an extra pejriod ; West Chester and Mansfield
both won in the waning- minutes of play; and the Millersville loss was
suffered in the last period .
On the other hand , the Maroon and Gold have turned in several sparkling wins. Apparently the Huskies do better away from home than on the
home boards of spacious Centennial Gymnasium", for te dat€ they have won
four or five games played on foreign boards . Victories over West Chester,
Kutztown, Shippensburg, and King's College all came away from home. Parti cul arly, the Shippensburg and West Chester wins were amazing in view
6f the fact that Husky teams in the past have experienced no end of trouble
attempting to defeat the Rams and Red Raiders on their home floors.
Only one victory has been achieved in the confines of Centennial
Gym, but that was a thriller all the way. The Huskies came back to
beat an arch rival of many years, Lock Haven , after being down, 19-7,
at the first quarter mark. The Temple, Elizabethtown, West Chester,
and Mansfield tussles, all here, resulted in defeats. If the Huskies are
going to remain anywhere near the top of the conference race they will
have to put on the pressure the rest of the way. Seven more conference
tests remain, however, and if Wisher 's charges get a whining: streak
they may have something:. On the basis of that performance against
Shippensburg-, we know they have the stuff .
Shippensburg, incidentally, displayed some of the best sportsmanship
ever accorded an opponent when t'he Huskies visited the Cumberland Valley
institution last Saturday night. The fans were well-mannered, they gave
Husky players a hand when they came through with a good play, and the
starting five of the Maroon and Gold was given a tremendous ovation when
they left the game shortly before the final buzzer . That is something at
which we should all attemp t to equal . When Shippensburg pays a visit here
Tuesday night , let 's at least show them we can return the courtesy.
The Red Raiders had been riding on the crest of an undefeated
victory string of four straight, and they looked like a sure winner in the
conference race. They aren't out of it by any means, but the Husky
victory knocked them from the ranks of the unbeaten. Shippensburg:
had averaged 65 points per game before the Maroon and Gold held them
to a meagre 35. The Shippers included among their vanquished powerful
Mt. St. Mary 's, of Emmitsburg, Maryland , a team which lost to Villanova only by two points.
The play of Bob Andrews and Walter Banull in the Mansfield fracas was
encouraging, Andrews' play has been outstanding during the ten games thus
far, and we pointed him out after the first two games as one of the steady
Husky performers . His shooting kept Bloomsburg in the ball game' against
Mansfield, and his "stellar floor play once again gave the Huskies confidence.
Banull, who had been starring for the Jayvees, turned in a fine j ob.
He scored eight points, and his ball handling was terrific. He certainly
should fit in the Husky pattern during the next nine games. His overthe-head set shot is a hard one to stop, and his off-balance pivot shot is
* another headache to opponents. Eddie Jones continued his fine work at
center, and it seems that ho has finally hit his true stride.
The Temple Owls, who appeared here in the opening game of the season,
then won four more in a row including a victory over the nation's number
one team, Kentucky, then proceeded to lose four in succession , concluded
another "four" bracket last Saturday evening by nosing out previously unbeaten LaSalle, 52-50, on a last minute field goal by Wally Hatkevitch. The
Owls of Josh Cody have now won nine and lost four and are becoming recognized as a giant killer. The quintet of Dave Fox , Nelson Bobb, Eddie
Lerner , Ike Borsavage, and Dave Ballots looked good when they were here,
but we are still wondering what the score might have been had the Huskies
been "on" as they were against Shippensburg.
A sharp-shooting quintet from Shamokln pounded the Husky Pups •
in the preliminary to the Mansfield thriller hero last Monday night by
a 34 to 10 margin .
Except for the first period, in which the Junior Varsity held the
visitors to one field goal, the Sliamokin team had little trouble with the

A—No.
Q—Why is it that I can't get a reply to a letter I wrote Veterans Administration several months ago ?
A—In all probability, your letter is
one of many that does not give sufficient information to identify you . In
many instances, research must be
