R.B. Edgar Presents Annual Conf erence on Secof tdary
Educa tion Opens at ,B.$T.C. Today
Fine Program
The "inside story " of the Mt. Palo-

mar telescope, its construction and
operation , was the interesting background of an informative talk given
Thursday, March 18 at the college by
Robert B. Edgar, well-known American astronomer and scientist. Mr.
Edgar, whose father was one of the
men associated with* the designing
and building of the great instrument
now being tested and adjuste d at Mt.
P alomar , featured the-last assembly
program before the start of the
Easter recess.
He told of the origin of the idea
to construct a huge 200-inch mirror
and suggested that the story of the
"big glass"*was really the story of
the late Dr. George E. Hale, who
built the Mt. Wilson telescope, which
was the largest in the world until the
Mt. Palomar instrument was designed. Much of Dr. Hale's success in
building the big telescope, was du e
to the Rockefeller General Education
Board which gave a gift of six million dollars to launch the project.
Through demonstrations with a
number of scale-size models, Mr. Edgar illustrated the workings and
functionings of telescopes as well as
problems involved in their construction. One particularly interesting exhibit was a scale model of the mirror
itself, the manufacture and grinding
of which he described in detail. He
also told of the role played by his
father in the invention and design
of a special mounting for the huge
reflecting mirror.
Mr. Edgar described the Mt. Palomar instrument as a "precision instrument like your best wrist watch."
He said that the grinding and polishing j ob was the .most accurate ever
done in the history of lens manufacture, indicating that the face of the
giant mirror was polished to an accuracy of two-one millionths of an
inch ! It required eight years of expert craftsmanship to finish the j ob.
The talk was one of the most entertaining and instructive heard recently at the College, Mr. Edgar Was
introduced by E. A. Reams, chairman
of the faculty assembly committee.

WLusidans Attend Inter collegiate Band Festival

musical groups, the Russian Operatic
Quartet, presented the final .number
on the 1948 Artists Course program
at the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Thursday evening, April 8,
at 8:15 o'clock, before a large audience. Organized in 1945, the "Rus- .
sian Stars of Opera" have .made an
enviable reputation in appearances
throughout the United States and
Canada.
The talented group appeared in a
summer session concert here last
year, and a large and appreciative
audienea enj oyed & highly interesting
program of Russian music. A demand
at that time for a later appearance
led college authorities to secure these
distinguished artists for an entertainment course number.
The Russian singers presented a
program that was unusual in the fact
that it is not encountered often.
Their music gave the general impression of savor and vitality, and their
singing was characterized by spirit
and expressive persuasiveness. Including their appearance at the college, the "Russian Stars of Opera"
have appeared in more than fifty
concerts since last September.
The group was under the direction
of Dr. Antin Rudnitsky, a famous
composer and conductor.

A SHORT STORY
By William Tiddy
I was lying on my back on the
crumpled bed of my apartment, staring into the inky darkness that enveloped my room like a cloud of
gas. I had tried to sleep, but couldn't.
I kept seeing Ralph. I kept seeing
him as I had last seen him. I kept
seeing Ralph doubled up on the floor
of his office. Ralphr, lying on his side,
his legs tucked up, hi s left hand lying
u nd er his f ace, the other clenched at
his side, as though he was deep in
slumber. He was.
I cursed out loud and thrust my
head under the pillow and shut my
eyes. He was still there. Ralph !
Ralph! Go away, for God's sake, go
away !
I cursed again. This time at my*r
self. Why should I feel this way?
Why am I afraid ? Ralph was dead.
I know he's dead , becau se I killed
him. I could still hear the soft thud
of the letter opener, hitting his chest,
and I could still feel the blade grate
against his rib, like a meat cleaver
rasping against a ham bone. I shuddered. T must stop remembering. I
must forget. I must remember only
that I was free. At last, Ralph was
dead , and I was now the sole owner
of the "Night Owl's Night Spot." In
one second, I had rid myself of a
stubborn, idiotic partner, had acquired sole ownership of a fairly prosperous business, and had solved my
problem of paying off my gambling
debts. I was free, except for one
thing. I kept seeing that picture of
Ralph!
Why won't he go away ? Why
can't I sleep? I had left no evidence.
No one had seen me. I had even
taken his wallet so it would appear
that a burglar had done the j ob. If
I could only sleep!
I reached over to the bed table
and took a cigarette. I reached again
but there were no matches. I sat up
and swung my legs over the side of
the bed and switched on the lamp.
I blinked my eyes once or twice to
get accustomed to the bright light
and glanced at my hands. They were
shaking like a dry mop in a high
wind. I wiped my brow clear of
perspiration with the back of my
hand and then rubbed both of my
hands on the thighs of my legs. I
thought I could see some stains on
my hands, but it was j ust shadows.
My forehead was damp again but I
did n't wipe it. I got up and walked
to my overcoat which lay like some
senuous serpent on the phair where
I had thrown it.
The grey satin of the lapel gleamed dully in the moonlight, in contrast
with the sof.t tweed of the rest of
the coat. Ik had better shine, I
thought. I had paid a small fortune
for it. It had been tailored for me
by one of the best men in the business. Everything about it had my
touch, righ t down to the black 'buttons with my Initials engraved upon
them.

p

I reached into one of the pockets,
feeling for the matches. I didn't get
them , but I jumped back anyway. It.
was as though someone had poured
a pitcher of ice water down my back,
I felt so cold. I pressed my hands
against my eyes until they felt like
two giant billiard balls, forcing themselves into the sockets, then I looked
again. I wasn't mistaken. Where one
of the buttons on the overcoat had
been , there was nothing but a small
t atter ed hole with a single strand of
thread dangling helplessly from the
opening. As I stared, the opening
seemed to grow larger. The ragged
edges became teeth, and the gaping
hole formed a mouth that was laughing at me. I could hear the maniacal
laughter echoing through the recesses of my brain like the hollow sound
of wind through the subterranean
passageways of a cavern.
I tried to shut off the sight, but my
lids rebelled ^ against forcing themselves to close over my bulging eyes.
My swollen tongud felt like a red
hot poker nad been forced into my
mouth. My numbed legs must- have
sensed my helplessness, f or the next
thing I knew I was sprawled on\ my
back across the bed. I rolled over on
my stomach and cried.
The picture of Ralph came back to
me, his tucked feet, folded arm, and
tightly clenched fist, tightly clenched
around a small black engraved button.
I cried some more and presently-I
found myself somewhere else. I was
on a merry-go-round which was revolving faster than any I had ever
known, and I was afraid. I wanted
to j ump off but there was a strap
around my waist and when I looked
down and discovered that I wasn't
on a horse or zebra, or any other
animal, but on a chair. The chair
was a sturdy, all-wood affair with
leather straps on the arms. My arms
weren't strapped , however, because
I could raise my arm to catch a brass
ring everytime I passed the pole
from which they hung. When I had
a ring in my hand , though, it would
change into a black button with some
red, sticky substance on It. Then I
saw a man coming toward me with
his arms outstretched before him like
a sleepwalker. His face was in a
shadow but his shirt was open and
there was a ragged hole all the way
through his chest. I tried to close
my eyes, but it was no use. I wanted
to scream, but my teeth were clamped together by some powerful force.
The man came closer and hjs hands
gripped my neck.
I j umped to my feet and found
myself in a cold sweat, trembling so
hard that the perspiration dropped
from mo like rain from a tree when
the trunk is shaken. I was standing
beside my bed and there was a sligh t
humming In my ear,s. The humming '
increased In volume " and it didn't
take me long to realize that the
humming I heard was a siren — a
police siren.

Announce Schedule
Changes
Two changes have resulted in the
baseball schedule since its announcement in the March 20 issue of the
MAROON AND GOLD. The Wednesday, April 21, game with Shippensburg will be -played here instead of
away.
The game scheduled here, Wednesday, May 12 with Shippensburg, will
be played Tuesday, May 11, at the
down state school. These changes
were brought about due to the fact
that they would interfere with May
Day as they stood.
The schedule as it now appears is

Sports fans at B.S.T.C. have much
to look forward to. The policy of
schedule makers in curtailing long
road trips for all the athletic teams
in the future will most certainly be
a boon to those of us who like to see
as many games as we possibly can.
Though the distant schools will be
dropped from the schedule, competition will be j ust as representative.

The Husky nine goes into action next Wednesday afternoon when Lock
Haven State Teachers pay a visit to Mount Olympus. Whether or not the
Maroon and Gold is able to improve over the '47 season is problematical. It
will largely depend upon the new material which will add the necessary
strength to the team. Last spring the erratic play in the field cost the
Huskies at least two and possibly three ball games. The hitting and pitching
were both adequate, but the boots proved too much of a margin on many
occasions for the Huskies to overcome.
Eddie Allegar, hard IStting junior who played professional ball last
year with Danville, Va., of the Carolina League, was sold to Erie during
the winter. Eddie is pondering the acceptance of his contract with the
"ice boxers" but he expects to play with them this summer following
completion of the present term. Allegar, who hails from Bendertown,
was going great guns last summer when he was hit by a pitched ball,
suffering a broken bone in the elbow. At the time of the accident, he
was hitting well over the .800 mark.
Asked about Class "C" ball, Eddie said that the hitters were very good
in the leagues of lower classification but that the fielding and particularly
the pitching was erratic. He should know about the pitching, for it was one
of those wild heaves that put him on the shelf for two months. Allegar
further explained' that the minor league experts look for a pitcHer with
plenty of , speed. Most of these fast ball pitchers are wild, for they haven 't
developed their control. Thus the hitters hesitate to "dig in," knowing that
they can never be sure when a "duster " is coming along.
Allegar, who will be one of the mainstays of the 1948 Husky baseball
machine, comes from a long line of diamond ancestors. In the late 1946
season, ju st after Eddie was discharged from the Navy, there were seven
from the same family on the Benton team, of the Tri-County League.
In. addition to Ed, there were his brother, Bob, and five uncles from the
same family — all Wenners (Bounce, Len , Teg, Ted , and Art). Eddie's
father was long a star second baseman on Stillwater and Bendertown.
teams. Eddie began playing baseball when he was at Fishingcreek
Junior High School. At the age of 12, while in seventh grade, he cavorted second base under the tutorship of a woman coach. If we recall
correctly, they won something like three pennants in four years while
Eddie was around.

Sal Arduini , who last year played third base and took the mound a
couple times for the Huskies, is in the south with the Williamsport Tigers
of the Eastern League. The popular Jersey Shore athlete had been working
. out at second base, but j ust last week the Tigers listed him for Thomasville,
a Detroit Tiger farm. Class "A" ball is pretty fast, and the Tigers are using
the correct method in having Arduini .work his way up. He has a strong
arm, hits a long ball, and fields well. Last summer he played with Avis in
the Central League and impressed the boys at Bowman field in Williamsport
so much when his team appeared there that they immediately signed him
to a contract.
Contrary to last spring, most of -the teachers colleges are planning
an extensive baseball and track program for April and May. All of the
IS schools will have baseball, and most of them will participate in track
and field. In fact, it will be the busiest spring in many years. Many
have announced their detailed schedules for the next seven weeks. Lock
Haven opens its baseball season today meeting St. Francis at Loretto.
Tills is the lidlifter of a ten game card which will include clashes with
Bloomsburg, Scranton, Millersville, Mansfied, and Howard University.
The Bald Eagle track squad , which had a rather disappointing season
last year, has listed five dual meets in addition to the Perm Relays and the
State Meet. Clarion crosses bats with Slippery Rock next Saturday in its
opener. The Golden Eagles will play Pitt, Indiana Teachers, Penn, Allegheny,
Alliance, California , Geneva, and St. Vincent. Clarion, by the way, has
announced an eight game football card for next fall. The Huskies, who had
a two year pact with Walter Tippin 's lads , are no longer on the Golden
Eagle schedule. Rio Grande College, a small school in Ohio which one time
established a record for the greatest number of consecutive losses, has
replaced Bloomsburg for the second Saturday in October. Other tilts include
Cheney, Edinbofo, Thiel, California, Indiana, Alliance, and Slippery Rock.
Millersville State, who will play the Huskies twice durin g the baseball ,
season, won its opening game against EHzabothtown last Saturday by a
score of 9-1. ' Mlko Wenglasz went the route for the Marauders and
showed well In his tour of duty. EHzabothtown has listed a busy schealile
of 16 games for the season. Frank Koath, all around athlete at the
Lancaster county institution, is playing first base for Coach Ira Heir's '
nine.
Lock Haven State reports that it will lose, approximately $15,000 on
sports for the year which is just ending. This is no small sum. The Bald
Eagles, who have gone all out in an effort to grab numerous teachers college
titles, have listed many sports on the menu which are on a non-paying basis.
These are track, soccer , baseball, and wrestling. Basketball totaled an unusually small amount of money in receipts. This was undoubtedly due to
the fact that the Havenites experienced such a poor season after a gran d

(

In a determined effort to prepare
for the opening dual meet with Shippensburg next Saturday, Coach Peter
Wisher is stressing the intramural
track and field meet which will be
held Monday and Tuesday, Apr il 12
and 13.
This meet may uncover some likely
looking material that has not reported as yet. The Maroon and Gold face
a stiff eight event, schedule, heaviest ,
in histoi-y of the school and the largest card in teachers college circles
this spring.
"Most encouraging has been the
strengthening of definitely w,eak
spots which we had last spring," said
Wisher. "Particularly in the middle
and long distances, from th e 440 to
the two mile, we should be much
stronger."
Such boys as Swartz , Feese, Lockard , Urban, Welker, and Mitchell
have all looked good in the 440 trials.
From this list and possibly a few
others will come the representatives
for the Penn Relays, which will be
held Saturday, April 24, at Philadelphia.
The long distance runners are outstanding prospects. Johnny Magill,
Tommy SirSgel, and Drennan , all veterans of the past spring, in addition
to Krensavage will be the one and
two milers. Magill is rounding out
his third year of track. Although he
got a late start last year, he made
a good showing. Smigel and Drennan
developed as the season progressed.
Stars Missed
Gone are Pat Rooney, Matt Kashuba, and "Flash" Thomas, who
among them were usually good for
30 or 40 points. This is a great loss,
and it means that much work lies
ahead in getting back those points
plus a few more. Rooney specialized

in the high hurdles; Kashuba , the
high jump; and Thomas the dashes,
but all were able to get seconds and
thirds in other events.
"Smoky Bob" Andrews, Johnstown ;
Bob Millard, Spring City; and Glen
Loveland, Hazleton, all are working
hard on the high jump. Lindenberg,
Schiffer, O'Brien, and Winter are
candidates for the high hurdles while
Skoronski is a good prospect in the
pole vaulting department. This has
been a weak spot even in the great
Husky track teams of the past, and
thi s boy is trying hard to bring pole
vaulting above average for the
school.
Kulp is buzzing over the low hurdles while LePard , Conrad , and Herb
may make the 220 read "Bloomsburg,
first, second, and third places." The
latter two have been working out all
winter and should give track fans
something to shout about within the
next few weeks.
Weights Look i Good
Among the various weights and
field events, Mike Krepich , Elmer
Kreiser , L e o n a r d Gazenski, and
Thompson are coming along nicely.
Thompson is a veteran of last spring
who displayed much improvemen t as
the season progressed. The other
three are football players and should
turn in creditable performances in
these departments.
Shippensburg
Shippensburg, which defeated the
Huskies by a lopsided count last
year, features Hatfield, a 13 foot pole
vaulter, and Utz , a dash man who
does the 100 in less than 10 seconds.
However, the Huskies expect to be
ready when they meet the Red Raiders at the Cumberland Valley school
next Saturday.

America, the land of Promise, has
also become America, the Land of
Looks. In this fair land of ours,
handsome people are considered good
looking; you stop, look, and listen before you cross the railroad tracks' ( or
else your lodge brothers stop in to
take a last look at you) ; then, too,,
there is Lauren "The Look" Bacall,
the" young lady who sat on the President's piano and caused the Republicans to look askance; add to these,
come hither looks, dirty looks, the
magazine Look, the New Look, and
last, and latest, and for men only,
the Bold Look — which has to do
with the way one inhabits ones haberdashery,
This latest , look made its formal
debut in the April edition of Esquire,
and received more than the usual
amount of fanfare given fashion
trends. Sudden as its arrival may
seem,* the course of its development
stems back nearly three hundred and
fifty years to the Cavaliers who settled the Virginia Colony. It was this
selfsame look that caused .Pocahontas to give u p her deer skin kimono
Jn favor of the silks and satins of
civilization, and, without a doubt, it

,

had much to do with preventing one
Captain Smith from being separated
from his, shall we say, noggin.
The motif of the Bold Look is, if
we may borrow an adj ective, unrestrained. However, it carries none of
the radical changes the name would
seem to suggest. The rumored kneelength trousers' have not yet appeared. When and if they do, the mountains will never have enough caves
to hold all the hermits. The changes
so far have been gradual and much
needed. Men 's fashions have long
been too stereotyped and inflexible to
permit much self - expression ; but
now', with $he coming of the Bold
Look, men will be able to wear their
personality or else assume one more
to their liking. Anything is possible
in this "Land of Looks," and that
brings us vto the question of what the
next "Look" will look like. Perhap.s
it will be a worried look If Selective
Service is reenacted.

VETERANS, BE TOURISTS
Veteran-students who are enrolled
in American colleges during the regular school year and want to take
summer courses abroad under the
G-I Bill must meet certain requirements to qualify for such study.
1. Obtain a letter of acceptance
, from the VA approved foreign school
he plans to attend.
2. Secure a supplemental certificate of eligibility from his VA regional office.
The student then uses his letter of
acceptance and his supplemental certifi cate in securing from the Department of State the necessary passports and visas authorizing his travel
to the foreign school. The individual
veteran must pay all transportation

cosfe

Veterans Administration recommends that the summer study be
taken in an approved school in a
foreign country served by an Attache
of Veterans Affairs assigned by the
Department of State. These countries
include Great Britain, Mexico, France,
Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Belgium.
The presence of these officials expedites payment of subsistence allowances, tuition and other allowable
fees, VA explained. The records of
veterans taking summer courses in
these nations will not have to be
transferred from the United States.
Records of veteran-students selecting1 any other country for summer
study must be transferred to that
nation. *Such transfers take considerable time and often result in
lengthy delays of subsistence and
other pajone nts, VA said.
Should the veteran decide to remain in the foreign school for the
regular academic year, the Attache
for Veterans Affairs in that country
will request transfer of his records
from the United States at that time.
Veterans may obtain information
on foreign schools approved by VA
by writing their VA regional office
or the Director of Registration and
Research, Vocational Rehabilitation
and Education Service, Veterans Administration, Washington 25, D.C.
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!
Veterans who file claims with Veterans Administration for disability
compensation or pension can help
speed up service by observing seven
simple rules, VA said.
They are:
1. Remember to submit complete
evidence concerning your physical
condition, and the cause of such condition ; (2) spell your name clearly—
the same way it appears on your
service records; (3) when you are informed of your "C" number, use it
in all -correspondence with VA; (4)
include your correct address Jn all
correspondence.
(5) Avoid all unnecessary correspondence; (6) if you find it necessary
to write, address your letters to the
VA regional office; (7) when requested to report for physical examination, or to submit additional evidence, do so promptly.
