will not last . A great in flux of returning servicemen has put many of
the smaller colleges back on their financial feet again and swelled the
classrooms of larger schools.
Besides providing many young men and women with an otherwise
non-existent opportunity for a college education , this boom has made
possible the construction of new and modern buildings and the replacement of much obsolete equipment . Realizing that the return to
a pr e-war standing of enrollment will leave many colleges and universities hi gh and dry inso far as future material improvements are concerned , the big problem is "The keeping of the campus. "
One will undoubtedl y ask , "Ju st what are students doing that is
of so much destruction to our institutions? The schools we have seen
always appear to be in excellent condition. " True , an over-all inspection of most campuses will show a fairl y favorable picture and it is
also a fact that present-day students , in general , are older and supposedly more mature. A closer inspection , however , will reveal that many
buildings and much equipment are maintained at an outrageous
heighth of expense , due primarily to carelessness or indifference on
the part of the student. Regardless of the maturity of most presentday students , there still seems to be some inborn trait that provides
pleasure in the destruction of property. In our school for example ,
luncheon tables and chairs were provided for the beginning of a canteen that would facilitate the eating and drinking of refreshments between and after classes. An added advantage to any school , a,nd
obtained at great expense during a time when such things were hard
to get, Within a period of six months these tables and chairs were no
longer usable. Ping-pong tables were bought and assembled to add
further pleasure and entertainment to the canteen. These tables were
of lig ht construction , perfect for ping-pong , but not at all suitable as
chairs. If they were repaired once , they were repaired six times. The
chairs themselves that were provided for sitting were used for everything, it seems , but the intended purpose. These too were patched and
repaired until it was necessary to buy new ones at more added expense.
Two of the biggest problems in other colleges , as well as our
,
own has been the preservation of the lawns and buildings themselves ,
aside from what they contain . It seems that students have learned
well the lesson that the shortest distance between two points is a
strai ght line , especiall y where there isn 't a sidewalk. Paths can be
seen at most any point on campus. Buildings contain the names of
practically every student in the school , or if not a name , a defacement
of some sort. This in itself seems a slap in the face to people who are
supposed to be educated enoug h to have respect for other people 's
property.
Let all of us who are now attending schools of higher learning,
whether we be guilty or not, place ourselves in a position where we
can appreciate the position of others who must stay on after we have
graduated. Then you 'll really appreciate "The keeping of the campus. "

The inventory, conducted by the

scientific sampling technique to obtain a picture of school expenditures

a whole.
"The inventory of the 1940 public
school 'expenditures, " Dr . Norton told
the news conference ," revealed that
thousands of public school systems
had too little money to buy an acceptable amount and quality of schooling for all children. " In reply to the
query, "Did school expenditures increase enough from 1940 to 1947 to
permit school boards to hold their
own in buying schooling for children?" Dr . Norton said that the results of the current study proved
that the answer is "no."

Husky Mentor

The Huskies conclude the conference wars Tuesday when they play
host to a Kutztown quintet that is
out to wreak vengeance for a 36-33
pasting handed them in the last engagement between these two ancient
rivals. *
Several unfortunate losses thwarted any hopes the Huskies had for
winning the conference title, but a
win tonigh t will enhance their position and assure them of a high finish
in the final standings .
Victors Over West Chester ,
Millersville
The Kutzfown record is uHifflpressive over the entire season but of
their three conference victories, two
of them were over leading contenders
for the championship — Millersville
and West Chester . Their total season's record now stands at five wins
and ten def eats.
Like the Huskies, Kutztown has
been an irregular ball team , even
during a game; but once they get hot
they are likely to make their opponents quite uncomfortable.
Deppin Paces the Quintet
Clark D eppin, an excellent marksman from any spot on the floor, has
been the principal playmaker for the
squad and is leading his team in scoring. He is famous for a delayed upin-the air shot that seems to pause
in mid-air before hitting the basket.
Teaming up with Deppin , is Frantz
at the other guard post . He's tall and
does everything a good basketball
player should. Not only is he a scoring threat , but he is a particularly
fast man and perhaps the best rebound man on the Kutztown five.
Kutztown opponents have found it a
pretty difficult proposition guarding
him under any conditions .
Excellent Foul Shooters
Two uncanny foul shooters , Rauenzahn and Trout , will be stationed at
the forward posts when the two
teams square off in Centennial Gymnasium .
These stellar performers have been
ringing up large numbers of points in
all the Kutztown games mainly
through their ability to take advantage of the free throws offered to
them , This foul shooting was one of
the chief factors in the recent upset
victory over the highly touted West
Chester team. So, the Huskies have
reason to expect difficulty in checking Kutztown .
In addition to their fine sharpshooting from the foul lino , Rauenzahn and Trout arc great defensive
men, being particularly adept down
under the boards,
Ku tztown may not have an aweinspiring record, but with such men
as Edmund Marks at the pivot post
they are bound to be dangerous to

The basketball season is singing its swan song for 1948 within the next

two weeks. Where th e Huskies will finish in the conference will be determ-

ined Tuesday night when they meet the Golden Avalanche from Kutztown.
They cannot go much lower than eighth nor much higher than fifth . It has
been a "fif ty per cent season " so-to-speak . Never were the Maroon and Gold
cagers able to get anything like a winning streak established. Likewise, they
didn't drop more than two in a row .
Feared by every teachers college team this winter, the Huskies became a definite threat to title aspirations of various schools. Only Mansfield was able to beat the Huskies twice, one win being by a single point
and the other by two markers. There have been many tough losses including the Lock Haven defeat of Tuesday , 43-41; a loss to West Chester , 42-39; a 51-48 defeat suffered at the hands of East Stroudsburg;
and a 64-60 pasting dealt out by Elizabethtown .
On occasions the Huskies looked like a world-beater. The Shippensburg
and Millersville ' gam es played here were outstanding performances. There
were also games we would rath er forget such as the East Stroudsburg tiff
and the affair at Lock Haven Tuesday night . The all-around play in the
Millersville game was a natural, and it is doubtful if such a repetition will
occur in Centennial Gym for some years to eome*
Despite the fact that he has had a number of off nights. Sonny Boyer
has been the leading point getter right down to the wire. Bobby Andrews, most consistent player on the squad, is running a close race.

with amazing accuracy from the
sides and corners, racked up seven
field goals for the evening. DePoe
made 13 points, nine of them coming
in the first period . His first four attempts from the field goal area , hit
the mark , and local fans began to
wonder if the Miller pivot man could
miss.
The Husky success during the evening from a defensive point was due
to the fact that Bob Schultz and
Mike Pecuich were bottled up.
Schultz, usually a threat to the
Hus kies , was held to six points , and
Pecuich , who won the game for the
down-state lads, here, last year,
could get but three.
Huskies Take Lead
With about six minutes gone in the
first period, Schultz got loose on a
lay-up, Millersville led , 7-4, and the
Huskies called time . The pause did
wonders for the Wishermen , and
from that time on it was all Bloomsburg so far as the lead was concerned.
The Maroon and Gold held a scant
16-14 margin at the first quarter
mark but increased it to 36-27 at
halftj me, They outscored the Millers
in the third period and held a 52-41
lead at the end of the third canto.

Basketba|l Tourne y
Begins March 4

At least twenty-four top-flight
schoolboy basketball teams are slated to perform in the Bloomsburg
State Teachers'College's Twenty-first
Annual High School Basketball Tournament which gets under way on
Thursday night , March fourth . The
tourney is scheduled for the first two
weeks in March ; preliminary round
games will be played March 4, 5, and
6, while semi-finals and finals are
scheduled for March 11, 12, and 13.
John A . Hock , tournament director, has experienced no difficulty in
lining up Class B arid C contenders.
In fact, invitations have been mailed
to at least sixteen high schools which
have expressed an interest in the big
meet, but Class A competition presents a thorny problem . A n u mber
of valley leagues do not wind up play
until late this month , and u n t il
league championships have been determined, little can be done about
securing teams for tourney competition. Regulations set up by P.I.A.A.
prevent a team selected from district
playoff honors from playing in any
post-season tournament . This has
also been a handicap.
Latest Class A schools to evidence interest in tourney plans have
been Mt . Carmel High School, which
is currently battling for honors in the
Keystone l e a g u e ; Shamokin High
School, and South Williamsport . Mt.
Carmel Township has expressed its
interest along with Danville, Freeland, and West Mahanoy Township.
Other Class A schools are biding
their time until their regular league
schedules are finished.
Despite , the last-minute nature of
arrangements, entries have been assured from Conyngham Township,
Class B champions last year; Kingston Township, Scott Township, Newton-Ransom, Monroe Township, Fairview Township, Girardville, Beaver
Vocational, Nescopeck, Rock Glen,
Lehman Township, Nuremberg, Catawissa, Beaver Township, and Warrior
Run , last season's Class C champions.

CHILI SUPPER ENJOYED
BY LUTHERAN STUDENTS
A chili con carne supper was enjoyed on Monday evenin g by the Lutheran students of B.S.T.C. at the St.

Stray Animals Find
Home in Science Hall
Occasionally, various reptiles and
winged creatures find their way into
Science Hall or its vicinity, where
they are immediately captured and
placed into a cage especially maintained by Dr . Kuster for that purpose. Over a' period of some years,
this cage has housed turtles , a salamander, black snakes, a copperhead
snake, other species of snakes, owls,
and a hawk . These inmates earn
their room and board by lendin g
themselves to the Science instructors
for demonstration purposes to the
various science classes.
Dr. Kuster's most recent 'guest is
a screech owl — who , incidentally, is
the hero of an interesting story
which strengthens the belief that
•true lovers cannot be separated for
long. This particular owl lives, together with its mate , in the grove
near Science Hall . He likes to rest
in a vent leading from the chemistry
room, and this fact makes* it most
convenient for Dr. Kuster to catch
him and use him whenever his lessons call for a live owl. A net is
placed over the opening while the
owl is inside and presto!, Dr. Ku ster
has an owl to demonstrate.
One weekend a science student
wished to take the owl home with
her for some reason or other . Dr.
Kuster consented and after the
screech owl had fulfilled the student's desire, he was set free—eighteen
miles from his grove.
When Dr. Kuster learned of this,
he gave the owl up as lost; but three
days afterward, the owl, tired ' and
haggard, but apparently contented ,
was discovered in his nest together
with his mate once again .
A few years ago, a female black
snake laid six eggs while living in her
new cage home. These eggs were the
recipients of Dr. Kuster's careful attention until they hatched and six
little snakes emerged. The new
snakes attracted many students to
their cage. And then a curious student neglected to replace the cover on
the cage and the snakes escaped and
to this day, have never been seen
again . The Science Hall faculty now
hopes that a family of black snakes
is not discovered some day, worming
their way about the building.
At the present time, Dr. Kuster 's
proteges are two energetic white
mice. However, any animal—reptile,
bird , or other creature within limits
—will be gladly taken in and cared
for.

up points even when his teammates

Faculty Folly

by Donald L. Butcofsky

Though Ponce de Leon failed to
discover the fountain of- youth, there
are reasons to believe that it does
exist and that the faculty of B.S.T.C.
knows of its whereabouts. There are
nine good reasons to support that beli ef , and all nine of them are on the
faculty ball team.
This aggregation of academicians
recently made its debut in the intramural volley ball loop but dropped
the first two scheduled sets. However, the profs soon expect to take
permanent possession of a berth in
the win column and show that an
ounce of gray matter outweighs a
pound of brawn . The "Brains" are
rallying their forces, and their opposition can look forward to some
stiff competition in the future.
In a recent informal interview, Mr.
Deal revealed that he has developed
a new secret offensive play which is
based upon a modification of the
Dewey Decimal System. Mr. Hoch
and Mr. Redman have been burning
midnight oil over the possibilities of
the "T" formation as an instrument
for wreaking havoc among the enemy
on the volley ball court. Mr, Wisher,1
upon being questioned , merely smiled
blandly and pointed a confident forefinger at a manila folder which was
stamped "top secret." The Maharaj a
of Muscle Mansion has evidently
cooked up a crock of misery that will
cause no end of weeping and gnashing of teeth among the court competitors of the faculty team.
When all of this is taken into consideration , it looks like trouble for
the future opponents of the "Brains."
But they will have a dose of double
trouble coming up when Mr. Shortess
perfects his method for concentrating

the water from that fountain ,
