F.T.A. Presents Film
"Outposts of American Education, "
a sixty-minute film in color about
the Near East and the American colleges there, produced by John W.
Roberts and narrated by Lowell Thomas was shown at .the Teachers College Wednesday evening, under the
sponsorship of the Future Teachers
of America.
In making this motion picture, the
Near East College Association has
endeavored to show not only the activities of the seven member colleges
in five nations, but also the ancient
monuments, the modern cities , the
rural areas, and the peoples of the
Near East. From the strategic Bosphorus to Baghdad which promises to
become an air center of tomorrow,
the merging of eastern and western
cultures, of ancient and modern civilizations , is depicted.
A highlight in the film was the
coverage of "Evacuation Day "—Syria's first independence day, \
Among the world figures that appeared were Prince Faisal of Saudi ,
.Arabiaj President Kuwatli of Syria;
the honorable Herbert Hoover; the
United States ambassador to Turkey,

In 1940 the State Teachers College of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania,
was asked to participate in the program sponsored by Civilian Pilot

a program that involved, both ground
training, as well as flight training to
be carried out at the Bloomsburg Air
Port, under the jurisdi ction of the
college. The purpose of these courses
was to furnish a reservoir of pilots
in case an emergency developed in
the United States. The development
came to a . head in December 1941.
Bloomsburg at that time had contributed with 10D trained, pilots.

Are You Guilty?

Last winter the author of this editorial saw the Husky basketball team
lose a heart-breaker in the waning minutes of the last quarter to a teachers
college rival on its home floor . Although the loss was a stunning blow, it
was not so much the defeat but rather the unsportsmanlike conduct on the
part of the fans and the opposing players that added the extra sting.
When a Husky player stepped to the foul line, the noise was so great
that it was impossible to talk to anyone . One Maroon and Gold lad , who
kept the Huskies in the ball gam e all evening with a terrific exhibition of
shooting, whipped the cords wi th, five set shots from the center of the court.
Each time he received a thundering "boo" from the audience . (This
same player, by the way, is one of the Huskies who is receiving the same*
"welcome" from the so-called "home" fans who do their cat-calling in Centennial Gymnasium). Added to this insult was an occurrence which we
would rather forget . With an injured Husky player on the floor, an opposing man literally kicked the player on the flo&r as he went by.
This was a far cry from the experience at another teachers college two
weeks ago. Each time a Husky made a good play or a nice shot the spectators applauded. When the starting Maroon and Gold five left the floor with
a few minutes of play remaining, they were given a rousing ovation. The
sportsmanship of the opposing team was also noteworthy. Such things make
quite an impression upon a visiting school .
All of which brings us to the subj ect of Centennial Gymnasium and the
Huskies. Someone asked why the Husky record was so much better away
from home, having won five of the six games played on foreign boards.
Would it be any wonder with the irate fans riding even the home players as
is the case every time the Huskies take the floor in the spacious gym on
the hill ?
Anyone who has taken an active part in sports knows that an athlete
doesn't mind the booing from opposing fans—in fact , he rather expects it at
times, but when your own fans give you the razzberries , that's j ust too much
for even the most courageous athlete to stand. And while we're at it, let's
not be so babish about giving opposing teams the "works." Why not live
up to our name and show the same kind of courtesy that was given the
Huskies two weeks ago ?
(
Let's be frank and to the point-—we had the best soccer and football
.records in history, and the college has an excellent chance of finishing with
its best over-all athletic record. However, it can't be done if this display
of child-like outbursts continues, The records speak for themselves, If we
get behind the basketball team , they'll produce victories at home as well as
on foreign hardwoods. The cards are on the table —- let's see who really has
school spirit — or have we lost it I ' ! !

He was a handsome, greying man

of for t y, attired in a dressing gown
and smoking a meerschaum pipe. He

was sprawled in a comfortable easy
chair before the blazing fireplace; his
arm hung loosely over the arm of
the ch air , his long fingers clutching
a crumpled sheet of paper.
How did he ever get into a mess
like this anyway ? He never though t
he'd get in so deep when he started
to throw the ivories at Big Joe 's
Casino Club. But his losses mounted;
he sign ed a lot of notes, and here he
was—ten thousand dollars in debt to
Big Joe. And Big Joe wanted his
pound of flesh — either come across
with the dough in sixty days — or
else!
Where in the blazes was he , Tony
Mar sden , going to scrape up ten
thousand dollars ? He had no money
of his own. He had been only a small
time horseplayer and tout when
Lady Luck introduced him to a rich
widow, one of society 's elite , one day
at the tra ck . His suave charm coupled with his good looks had soon captured the middle-aged woman's heart.
In the first years of their marriage, Tony spent her money rather
freely on the races, gambling, and
other women . Now , though , the honeymoon was over, and Laura, his
wife , refused to part with any more
of her ample cash reserve . She h ad
become suspicious of his nocturnal
trips along Sunset Strip, and with
good reason, too. Then there v had

¦'such a rumpus when he took her fur
coat back . All in all, he felt, she
did n't trust him any more.
¦ What could he do, he thought.
Well, let's see, there are two alterna1tives. He could go to Big Joe and
<'ask for more time and maybe—well,
he might have a lucky day at the
track, you never could tell. But he
] knew that Big Joe wouldn 't give him
1tied to a block of concrete.
Of course, he couid go to Laura
everything and promise
'and explain
to do better in the future . No, that
iwouldn't work. If she actually knew
1bow much money he had spent, she'd
(divorce him and he'd be off the gravy
train . He didn 't want that to happen; it was very pleasant not having
1to work .
Wait a minute ; if he could rid of

—his troubles would be over. That
was it — by poison. Why didn 't 'he
think of that before ? If he used that
new saerozenic compound that tasted
like bitter almonds and caused instant death , showing the symptoms
of heart failure, no one would know
he kill ed her. Laura's insurance
would pay his debt and the rest
would take him and some redhead on
a long pleasure trip.
The next morning, Tony rose
bright and early and prepared coffee
and toast for breakfast . After calling
Laura, he poured two cups of coffee
on the table, putting a spoon on the
saucer of one of the cups. Then he
put the poison iif the cup on the
saucer containing the poison . Thus
he'd know which cup contained the
poison . He hoped the poison wouldn 't
make the coffee too bitter so that
she'd notice it .
H& went to the door to get the
morning newspaper, and upon returning to the dining room, found his
wife seated at the table waiting for
him. Tony sat down, opened the
paper, and reached for his cup of
coff ee. His hand shook and he almost
dropped his cup when he saw a spoon
lying on his saucer. He looked over
at his wife's coffee; she had a spoon
on her saucer also. She had evidently provided him with a spoon.
Well, he'd wait till she drank her's
first . Each second seemed like eternity. Why in the heck didn't she drink
the stuff!
Finally after munching a slice of
toast , she gulped a portion of the
cup. The taste distorted her face and
she gasped that the »coffee was too
bitter and started to berate him.
It wouldn't be long now, he
thought. They'd say it was a heart
attack . He could j ust see that stack
of greenbacks rolling in . Let her rave
on, the old battle-axe, she's on her
last breath anyway.
In his exultation , Tony lifted his
cup to his mouth and downed the
contents in one gulp.
That's funny, he thought, that coffee tasted like bitter almonds. No,
that couldn't be — his wife had the
poisoned cup.
A searing pain started in his stomach and leaped to his throat , his head
reeled , and he gasped with agony.
Dimly he heard his wife mumble
something about his forgetting to put
sugar in her coffee.
Then she screamed, "What' s wrong

slumped lifeless on the floor .

Huskies Go to Elizabethtown for Return Game
Wednesday ; Jump into Second Place in League
The Huskies go outside the conference next Wednesday to meet the
battle scarred quintet of Elizabethtown College, which sports an overall 7-6 record .
The mainstay of the Elizabeth town
team is the brilliant Franki e Keath
who is making a runaway of the race
for state scoring honors . Keath is
f ar in advance of his closest opponent, Nelson Bobb of Temple, who ,
because of the high calibre of competition met by Temple, will probably place on the Ail-American team,
though Frankie Keath rates with the
best in the country.
Keath scored 27 points to pace
Elizabethtown to their thrilling 6460 win here in December. If Bloomsburg can stop Keath , they will not
only gain some measure of revenge
for the December defeat, but will do
something that no other Elizabethtown opponent has done thus far.
High Scoring: Game In View
Ghances are that next Wednesday
night's fray will be another high
scoring affair as both teams are
laden "w ith an array of offensive talent. Aside from Keath, who undoubtedly will cop scoring honors in every
game in which he appears , it is difficult to determine in advance the
players who will be having a night
of remarkable sharp-shooting.
Practically every regular on each
squad has had his night of glory during the season, with pivot-man Jordan and forward Walters probably
the leaders in Elizabethtown's scoring parade, trailed only Frankie
Keath .
The dexterous guards , Hivner and
Waltz, have been instrumental in the
impressive victory string racked up
by Elizabethtown .
In their appearance at Bloomsburg,
the Herr coached men introduced a
type of floor play rarely seen on
small college floors . They presented
an amazingly cool team that refused
to become excited even after the
Huskies had taken the lead. ,
There is no doubt that it is the
baqbaffling attack which presents a
scoring threat in every position
should Keath be having an off night
that has been the keynot e of the
Elizabethtown successes this season.
Huskies Confident
Despite the terrific task facing the
Huskies, their record on opponent's
floors indicates that Elizabethtown
will suffer its seventh setback of the
current campaign .
Practically all the Husky regulars
have at one time or another copped
scoring honors, so the Elizabethtown
squad will have a difficult time if it
attempts to bottle up jus t one or two
of the WJshermen. Possibly Ed Jones,
or Walt Banull, or Charlie Boyer, or
anyone of the squad will pace the
Maroon and Gold to victory,
Capacity Crowd Expected
Elizabethtown fans are anxious to
see this Husky quintet which so nearly upset their favorites and a capacity crowd will probably be on hand.
'] Though the Elizabethtown record
doesn't appear too impressive from a

averaged a total of 55 points per
game, mainly through the efforts of
Frankie Keath , and with the exception of a 90-51 pasting at the hands
of powerful St. Joseph's College, all
their setbacks have been by close
scores.
So far this season, Philadelphia
Pharmacy, Bloomsburg, Shepherd ,
Kutztown , Towson (Md.) , and Gallaudet (Washington ) , have fallen before the accurate markmanship of
Keath and his mates. One of the wins

Conquerors of Elizabeth have been
Ursinus, Dickinson, Lebanon Valley,
Albrigh t , and St . Joseph's. The Ursinus and Dickinson losses were by
46-42 and 68-65 scores respectively.
East Stroudsburg Next
The Huskies have taken dead aim
on a high place in the teachers college conference and hope to strengthen their position in the league at the
expense of East Stroudsburg in Centennial Gymnasium next Saturday.
The task may be a bit more difficult than in the last engagement as
the East Stroudsburg lads will attempt to wipe out the sting of the
humiliating defeat handed them by
Bloomsburg and . undoubtedly will
shoot the works in an effort to win.

Bloomsburg Cagers Score 48-44
Thriller Over Shippensburg Raiders
Slobozien's Late Field Goals Turn Tide in Final
Two Minutes of Play. Huskies Take Second Place
In one of the most hectic games
ever staged in Centennial Gymnasium, the Huskies twice came from
behind to beat a powerful basketball
team from Shippensburg State by a
score of 48-44 before a capacity
crowd last Tuesday night .
Two ringing, spectacular field goals
by Paul Slobozien, Johnstown star,
turned the tide of victory with one
minute and 15 seconds to go. With
the score 42-40, Shippensburg, he
draped the cords on a set shot, then
hit the mark from deep in the right
corner. After that it was just a mat^
ter of time.
The Huskies undoubtedly played
their best game of the season. No
one man was outstanding, but all
contributed directly in the sparkling
victory. Ball handling, team play,
and accurate shooting all aided in the
triumph as the Maroon and Gold
showed its best shooting average for
the season.
To accomplish this feat the Huskies had to come from behind when it
looked as though Shippensburg might
rack up the issue. Once during the
early part of the first quarter the
Red Raiders took a commanding 13-5
lead, and the Bloom cause looked
futile. The visitors also led briefly in
the last period.
McClellan Stars
Jeb Stewart, giant six foot-seven
inch center from Chambersburg, was
once again held in check by a tightlyknit Husky defense. However, another Red Raider hot shot, little Jack
McClellan , a Shippensburg High product, almost spelled doom for the
Washermen . He rolled up 22 points
in a fine exhibition of shooting, 11 of
his 25 shots attempted being successful .
First Period
Walter Banull , Plymouth , and Marlin Kessler, Millersburg, were captains for the evening. Shortly after
the tap, Banull pushed in two points.
Caleb Harris, Camp Hill, was good
on a set shot. McClellan contributed
his first field goal, but Elmer,Kreiser
racked up a twin-pointer to deadlock
the score.
McClellan, Stewart, and Kessler all
added field goals to put the Shippers
ahead, 10-4. Charlie Boyer got a foul
goal, but so did Jake Leitch, a veteran from the '41 team, McClellan
made a field goal, and the Huskies
called time, The time out apparently
did the Huskies a world of good, for
they were a different ball club the
rest of the way,
Banull hit the mark with an abovethe-head set shot. Boyer and Harris
traded foul goals, Eddie Jones got
through with a two pointer to make

it 14-10, Shippensburg, at the first
quarter mark.
Banull was still a ball of fire and
racked up three points on a field goal
and a foul . Boyer pushed in a slide
shot to put the Huskies in front for
the first time as the crowd went
wild . Banull passed to Andrews who
was true on a long shot. The Shippers called time.
Huskies Pull Away
Jones hit with a field goal. Stewart
tapped one in for the Raiders. Boyer
got a field goal and was fouled in the
act of shooting. Then he made the
fo ul, Ray Filling got a foul for the
visitors. Bob Andrews whipped the
cords with a push shot and then
made a foul Filling got a foul goal
for Shippensburg before the half
ended, Bloomsburg leading, 25-18.
McClellan, who was held . to six
points in the first half, began his one
man battle with a field goal to open
the third period. Kreiser made, good
a one handed push shot. Kessler
made two foul goals, and Stewart
swished the cords with a one handed
shot from the circle.
Andrews draped the nets with a
set shot, but the cagey McClellan
scored again from the field . Jones
was true on a going away shot , and
Andrews made it 33-26 with a push
shot as Husky fans breathed easier.
Red Raiders Rally
McClellan hit the mark with two
field goals, one on a fast break and
another of the set variety. Jones
came up with three more valuable
points, but McClellan brought in two
more field goals , a set shot and one
from in close to make it 36-34,
Bloomsburg, at the end of the third
period.
Kreiser hit the hoop with a one
handed shot. Stewart got a field goal
and a foul , but Mike Evans, a newcomer to the Husky camp, threw in
two points . Harris got a field goal
from the circle, and McClellan put
the Kramermen ahead with a swisher
from the side . Leitch got a foul goal.
Paul Slobozien then saved the
game for the Huskies. The Johnstown athlete, who has been playing
in tough luck all season, made the
nets dance with a set shot, then got
one from the right side to put the
Maroon and Gold ahead, 44-42, and
there they remained.
Banull got a foul. McClellan kept.
Shipper hopes alive with a neat, shot,
but Kreiser again came through with
a one hander. With one minute and
forty seconds to go, the Huskies froze
the ball, the Raiders getting only one
shot at the basket. In the meantime
Andrews added a foul to make the
score 48-44, Bloomsburg.

Coach" Robert B. Redman announced the Husky All-Opponent team
last week , and according to the selections by the Maroon and Gold footballers no one team had more than
three men on the firs t squad .
Mansfield and East Stroudsburg
placed four and three men , respe ctively , on the first team . However ,
this includes a tie at the right tackle
position which existed between Dunbar, of Man sfield , a nd Pe t encu skie,
East Stroudsburg.
Although the Huskies dealt M'j llersville one of its worst defeats in
history, the Millers placed two men
on the first team . Shippensburg and
Lock Haven each gained one position .
In the honorable mention bracket,
Lock Haven led with four positions;
Shipp ensburg, Ku tztown , Mansfield ,
and East Stroudsburg each placed
one. It is important to remember
that the performance of these opponents was considered only in games
against the Huskies . Otherwise it
could not appropriately be called an
All-Opponent team .
The Team
Ritinski, East Stroudsburg 's passsnagging end , and Harrington, of
Mansfield , were named at the terminal spots. Dick Smoker , giant Millersville star , and Green, Lock Haven
standout , won the tackle positions.
Flanagan , of Lock Haven, and the
above mentioned Dunbar and Petercuskie were the selections at the
guards . At center was Magdalinskas,
of Mansfield , a repeater from the '46
team .
The quarterback post was won by
Bolton , Shippensburg, a punting specialist , and a wizard at that position.
Two mighty mites of the gridiron,
Tony Amendola, Mansfield , and Bernie Rockovich, East Stroudsburg,
were nominated as halfbacks. Hubert
Peters, another Millersville star in
defeat , was selected for the fullback
slot .
Honorable mention was given to
the following eight players: Snaith
and Kamus, Lock Haven, ends; Novak , Mansfield, tackle; Hollenbach,
Kutztown, guard ; Whitehead , East
Stroudsburg, center; and . Hatfield,
Shippensburg ; Smokey Stover , Lock
Haven, and George Teufel, Lock
Haven , backs .

MILLARD C. LUD WIG

USNSA Congress Planned
!

\

Although the thrteen active teachers colleges got together last year and
formed a somewhat "informal conference," the whole system remains a
mu ddled ,affair. For instance , the gridiron crown was claimed by no less
than three colleges during the past fall . Tr u e, West Chester and Slippery
Rock boasted perfect records in three conference tests, but they did not,,
play sufficient league contests to warrant consideration for the title .
Mansfield, on the other hand , won four, lost one, and tied one to actually claim the championship if a minimum number of four conference
games is considered . Bloomsburg played seven loop affairs, and Shippensburg and Lock Haven each eight. It seems unfair to list a school
with so few games against other teachers colleges as being eligible for
the title.
The basketball race could end the same way . Last year , Lock Haven
lost only one game in fourteen starts and claimed the title without opposition. Such could be the case this year if Mansfield continues its present
pace. However, it doesn't seem right that the. Huskies play fourteen conference games while Edinboro, Clarion , and a few others come through with
six or seven . Clarion , for in st an ce, stands in second place at press time with
two victories and one loss. The Golden Eagles play only four more teachers
colleges, which definitely isn't enough" to gauge whether or not the team is
of championship calibre.
While we're on the subj ect of conferences, what's the matter with a
soccer loop composed of the teachers colleges who play the boot sport?
In addition to the Huskies, Lock Haven, East Stroudsburg, West Chester, Slippery Rock, Indiana, and Edinboro all have soccer elevens. Most
of them are members of the Eastern Intercollegiate League, which has
within it many conferences. Such an organization would certainly be a
step in the right direction.
Still on the subj ect of soccer, the Huskies last year turned in the best
record in college history, dropping only one game in nine starts. However,
the Maroon and Gold was undoubtedly one of the worst-equipped outfits
playing the sport . At East Stroudsburg, the rain fell in torrents , and the
field was a sea of mud, but the Husky players braved the 32 degree temperatures without warm-up pants or rain coats of any sort .
At Elizabethtown, the snow came and the Huskies once more mothered around the locker room and dressed with whatever miscellaneous
clothes they could find in order to be warm enough . Some used salve to
protect themselves from the breezy air. The shoe situation was fair, but
many of the shin guards were poor. AH in all, the equipment proved
inadequate, but with the budget being so low the players had to make
the best of things.
These faults should be corrected before another season rolls around. On
the basis of the record this year the team certainly deserves it . Most of the
Husky athletic teams rank with the best dressed outfits in the teachers
college circle, but the soccermen take a back seat. Although six seniors
were lost through graduation , the Maroon and Gold booters will be back to
wade through another tough nine game schedule next September. Some new
equipment might help considerably.
Getting- around to the "Centennial Story, " which we invariably do,
the Husky basketeers not only are one of the most unpredictable quintets, but the leading scorers vary with each game. Boyer, Kashner,
Jones, Andrews, and Krelser have all been the leading individual pointgetters at one time or another . Last Saturday at East Stroudsburg,
Eddie Jones rolled up, 17 markers, and it looks as though the former
Miltonian has begun to ring the bell in addition to his fine defensive
play.
The Huskies are engaging in one of the busiest cage seasons in history
of the school . Time was when Bloomsburg played twelve games a season
including a practice tussle with the Alumni . That was ordinarily the only
contest in December. This year, however, no less than five tilts were reeled
off during that month, and the nineteen game card for the year is more like
a basketball schedule should be. Some teachers colleges still stick to schedules varying from 13 to 16 games a year, which seem like a short one in
these days of the demand for competition.
LOOPING THE LOOPS
The MHIersvlHo Marauders seem to
have finally lilt their stride. After losing four In a row, they have now
won three In succession — all conference tiffs and against tough opposition. (Lock Haven, Bloomsburg-, and Shippensburg). Previously, they
lost to LaSollo, Westminster, Kutztown, and Mansfield . . . . . Well do
we remember the days when Ehemann and Relfsnydor wore cavorting •
for the Millers . . . . . Those who managed to cram their way into the
old gym will remember how our own Bill Korchusky battled Ehemann
to the finish.
At the same time, East Stroudsburg had a high-flying team composed
of Peter Pasko, the scoring ace; Joey Sager, Hazleton ; Glen Ford , towerin g

....

Bloomsburg State Teachers' College holds the distinction of being the
first charter member from Pennsylvania of the United States National
Student Association.
One of the underlying principles of
USNSA is that of service to its members. This is really service to the individual student through his own
student government. Such a concept
places responsibility on each of us to
see that the first truly representative
American Student organization provides a high quality of service to all.
The national office, and the regional offices, were set up with two ideas
in mind . First , they can represent
the students regionally and nationally to existing agencies and organizations. (When they have been so instructed by Congress). Secondly, the
national and regional offices will supply student governments with programs and information so that they
will be better equipped to serve the
students whom they represent.
Early in the spring the student
government on campus will receive
an outline of the first annual Congress to be held in the Summer 1948.
This outline will include a Jist of specific campus problems that will be
worked on by small groups at the
Congress. Some of these will undoubtedly directly effect your campus . Our suggestion is this: do a real
j ob of research on the particular
problems that your campus is interested in—the basis of the problem,
the solutions that various groups on
your campus have worked out, and
any other information that may be
of value. All of this information
should be accurately compiled and
made available to your delegates attending the Congress. The delegates
will then jo in the work section that
you have specifically designated.
There they will meet with delegates
from other schools who have done
similar research work. Also with
these men will be resource men—nationally known experts who will not
be lecturers , but who will participate
with the work group of delegates.
Data will be coordinated, specific solutions drawn up, and programs
worked, out for • individual schools.
These ' programs coming from the
work groups will be presented to the
full Congress for possible adoption as
one of the national programs for the
coming year.
Since December 1946 when colleges
throughout the country first sent
delegates to Chicago to investigate
the feasibility of forming a national
student group, the principles of uniting the though t and action of United
States collegiate* youth has been
magnified a thousand-fold.
In one short year the idea has developed truly amazing proportions . At
Chicago a foundation was completed,
at Madison the structure erected. It
has been a rapid and yet a safe expansion. Those student leaders who
played such an important part in the

progress of the National Student Association are to be congratulated.
The International Activities Commission of the USNSA has the answer to the question of students who
say, "I want to go abroad this summer, but how can I do it?"
Copies of a booklet entitled "Study,
Travel , Work Abroad, S u m m e r,
1948" will be available to students
in schools which participated in the
USNSA Constitutional Convention.
The thirty-two page booklet contains information gleaned from a survey of all the embassies and legations, all the educational organizations, and all the student travel
groups in this country. The data has
been summarized in easy reading
style so that quick comparisons between opportunities can be made.
Here are j ust a few of the countries and items mentioned:
FRANCE — "Cours de Vacances"
at several universities.
NETHERLANDS — summer school
at Leiden .
SWITZERIJ^D—summer sehool
at Zurich.
INTERNATIONAL S TU D E N T
SERVICE — study tours in South
East Asia.
CONGREGATIONAL CHRISTIAN'
S E R V I C E COMMITTEE — work
camps in France and Germany.
Any student who is interested in
obtaining additional information on
this proj ect, contact Harry Reitz.
Carrying out this program outlined
by the NSA Constitutional Convent ion , the International Activities
Commission has been working on
foreign travel and exchange proj ects
for American students next summer.
The availability of sufficient shipping
space is one of the keys to the success of the travel and exchange plan.
The first thing that must happen
if we are to have special student
ships in 1948 is the passage by Congress of the routine bills extending
the authority of the Maritime Commission beyond March 1, 1948 and
continuing the Coast Guard safety
waiver beyond March 31, 1948. If the
Maritime Commission is not given
Congressional authority either to operate the C-4s or to arrange for their
operation by a private line, we will
not get the ships. Unless Congress
passes the routine bills which will enable the USNSA to ask the Maritime
Commission for the ships, transportation will not be available for this
summer.
Seven British universities have announced opportunities for 650 American students to attend their summer
sessions in 1948, according to the
British embassy in Washington,
Undergraduates in their junior or
senior year who can show special
training or aptitude in the subj ects
offered will be considered. At some
universities special assistance will be
given to students preparing doctoral
dissertations.
