College Nominating Convention
Puts Finger On Stassen
If the Republicans in national conventioon at Philadelphia next month
don 't have any more trouble picking
a candidate than the students of the
local Teachers College, the hotelmen,
merchants and the residents of the
City of Brotherly Love generally are
going to believe they bid too high for
the honor of entertaining the Grand
Old Party 's candidate choosers.
Harold A. Stassen, the ex-governor
of Minnesota, was selected at the
student convention on the first ballot.
Without detracting anything from
the power of the mid-Western in the
presidential race, it is well to point
out tha t the college "take-of t " had
every similarity with the "real McCoy ", and an important factor in
Stassen 's success was the management of his supporters.
Tom Lewis, of Northumberland ,
headed the Stassen forces and they
v didn 't allow a thing to' remain undone. They even telephoned the Stassen headquarters in Philadelphia—on
a reverse ticket—to get Stassen buttons and literature. Th ey did so well
in presenting their case that the
headquarters asked that the College
students notify it—also on a collect
ticket—as to how things came out.
We have no doubt but that this message was sent through immediately
after the "convention."
The site of the sessions was Carver Hall. The "wise boys" were saying in advance of the affair that Stassen was in , and the accuracy of the
predictions will probably make the
politicos on the national scene sit up
and take notice.
He was named over Thomas E,
Dewey, the New York governor and
GOP standard bearer of 1944 , while
California 's Governor Earl Warren

was selected as Stassen 's r u nning
mate in a red hot battle against
House Speaker Joe Martin.
Lewis Presents Stassen
Lewis was the selection of the
Stassen forces to put the name of the
former governor of Minnesota in
nomination , and it was an ideal
choice. He was the last nominatioon
speaker of the morning, and he virtually woke up the convention with
first pleading, then shouting and arm
waving in a frenzied display of emotionalism for the Republican "glamour boy " candidate. Lewis challenged his rivals to produce a candidate
of equal statesmanship or patriotism
and stressed Stassen's abilities to
handle critical problems on either
the domestic or foreign fronts.
The woman 's touch was provided
by Mrs. Anne Baldy Boyer, Catawissa senior, whose seconding speech
was to the point and devoted largely
to Stassen's sparkling personality
and appeal. She surrendered the floor
to the wildest celebration of the session led by blaring band and a parade of shouting supporters carrying
banners and state signs. Hundreds of
Stassen buttons were showered on
the rival delegations as well as a
blizzard of confetti which minutes
before had been newspapers.
Named On First Ballot
'Stassen was named before the end
of t he first b allo t a f t er li tt le Rhod e
Island cast the deciding votes to insure his nomination. Up to that time
Stassen had polled 544 votes to Dewey 's 183. Joseph A. Martin , the Massachusetts' favorite was given 36
votes, trailing California 's governor,
Earl Warren , who received 53. Taft ,

Bloomsburg Has Third
Largest Enrollment
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
ranks third among the fourteen
Pennsylvania State Teachers . Colleges in total number of students ,
according to latest enrollment figures
released today by the Department of
P u bli c Instruction . The local Colleg e
has 907 students enrolled during the
present semester, while West Chester
heads the list with a total enrollment
of 1680 and Indiana is in second place
with 1530 students. The figures do
not include Penn State freshmen
students now attending the State
Teachers Colleges under the cooperative agreement with the Pennsylvania
State College.
Although Bloomsburg holds third
place among the schools in total enrollment, it is interesting to. note
that its Department of Business
Education ranks first in enrollment.
At the present time 344 students are
pursuing work in the business field
at Bloomsburg as compared with 301
students at Indiana. Shippensburg is
in thi r d place with 205 students.
Of the 907 students now enrolled
at Bloomsburg, 730 are regular students and 177 are part-time or extension students. This latter group is
the largest number ever registered
for that type of work at the local
College and represents a new high
for Bloomsburg.

Flashes ? ? ? President Andruss
Speaks at Dinner
Comuntzis

The year is 1948, one hundr ed
years after th e gold rush in Californi a. To commemorate this ' centenni al, Calif ornia has introduced her
Midas Touch , gold shoes to be worn
with street costumes, gold which
compliments the coolest of summer
cottons.
Dresses are of course long, but the
length varies to suit the lines. The
shoos vary accordingly with the
length. A full , long peasant skirt and
a fluffy peasant blouse is shown to
advantage with barefoot sandals of
either gold or frosty white ; or perhaps a combination o'f the two. If ,
however, the skirt is not quite so
long and not quite so full , how about
a pair of "boots" that from the top
look like barefoot sandals but from
the side have that covered up look.
For dress, why not try a pair of
linen pumps dyed to blend or to
complement your costume ? Maybe
you'd like straw pumps bettor. They
are something that you 'll see plenty
of this year. How smart they look
with their Edwardian heel.
Lot's look at evening shoes for a
minute. They are a focal point for
hemlines thai ; j ust brush tho floor
or tho ankle. Shoes of satin and taffeta in all colors, shoes of gold and
silver, shoos with high , low or medium hocl , shoes of all styles , shapes,
anything to suit milady 's fancy. Just
remember they must blond with your
whole costume, Ono thing out of focus, be it shoos , hose or j owolry, may
rutn tho whole harmony of your outfit.
Remember, girl s, got that "shoo "
look.

President Harvey A. Andruss was
the principal speaker at the testimonial dinner tendered the superintendent-elect of the Pottsville Public
Schools, Dr. H. H. Lengel, at a meeting of the Pottsville Kiwanis Club
held at the Necho-Allen Hotel, Monday , May 10.
Mr. Lengel has been principal of
the Pottsville High School for twenty
years and will assume his duties on
J u ly 1, 1948, succeeding L. A. DuDohn.
Speaking on the subj ect of "The
Uncommon Man ," President Andruss
developed the theme that the hope
of democracy was not the common
man but the opportunity which it
gave the common man to become
uncommon, characterizing tho uncommon man as one Who has convictions which he will not compromise,
courage, and a constructive approach
which looks toward the future. He
saluted Superintendent - elect Lengel
as an uncommon man in the field of
education , under whose leadership
tho Pottsvillo Schools will continue
their steady rise in professional development and achievement.
An old maid was asked what she
desired most in a husband , brains,
wealth or appearance. She snapped

Baseball, Track Teams
Get Set for Finals

Eas t Stroudsburg 's powerful baseball club scored heavily in the early
innings and went on to defeat the
Huskies 15-4, at the Pocono city last
Sat urday.
Eddie Piestrak banged out a round
tripper with no one on in the first
half of the third inning for the
Huskies' first run. Brunn started for
the Redman crew, but was shelled in
th'e fifth inning.
Harry Shaefer, Big Red hurler,
tamed the Huskies with six hits and
was seldom in trouble. He struck out
11* over the nine inning span. It was
the second win of the season for East
Stroudsburg over the Huskies.

Constantly hampered by pitching
worries in addition to the weather
man , Redman hoped to go on a winning streak the last few games in
order to get the record for the spring
over the .500 mark. East Stroudsburg
pasted two stinging def eats on the
Maroon and Gold , but it will be remembered that the Big Red has one
of the strongest nines in the east.
The track team made a rather
disappointing showing in the state
meet according to the experts , but
this was not to be the Huskies' year
in that annual affair. It seems that
the Husky trackmen are more at
home around the Navy Hall district,
for both Scranton and Cheney are
pretty fair track teams.

off with the State Teachers College
track championship last Saturday at

With this issue of the paper , yours truly will close ths books of the
"Sports Diary". Since the spring of 1942,-taking time- out for a three year
period , we have been discussing, arguing, and reminiscing sports of the college, the conference, and the nation. We have had a Jot of fun doing this
column , and it will be like losing a close friend so far as this writer is concerned. Many times it required burning the "after " midnight oil in an effort
to meet a deadline , but we'll never regre t it. On occasions we have been
forced to postpone important work so the column and other articles could
be written. However, realizing the fact that a sports writer turns in his
material no matter how bad the situation may be, we stuck to it and did
the best we could.
Since this is the last edition, we'll briefly scan diary happenings of the

En thusiasm for the f oi-mcr Minnesota governor grew by leaps and

its seventy-three votes into the Warren column , gave the California govi ernor the nomination.
James Dormer, Hatboro, was the

Husky Haven. His Sports Diary,
which he began back in the second
semester of his freshman year, has
long been an accurate interp retation
of sports activity here on the Blooms-,
burg front. It has appeared in^ fifty fi ve issues of the Maroon find Gold ,
with only one issue being missed in
all th at time. In all, he has written
sports articles which ha ve appeared
in some seventy issues, and each
issue has contained an average of
four of his articl es. A conservative
estimate of this output would place it
at one hundred and seventy - five
thousand words, or equal to two
average size novels. As writing is
reckoned , this is a tremendous volume of work. In addition to his duties on the Maroon and Gold , he has
also served for three years as a
writer on the st aff of the Obiter.
It is only now and then as the
passing parade moves down through
the years that we find someone who
has made an exceptionally outstand ing contrib ution to the Husky athletic heritage and to the spiri t of
the college in general. Millard Ludwig has proved himself to be such a
person during his four years of service to the Bloomsburg athletic program. On the field and in the pressbox he has always played the game
sixty seconds to every minute . His
experience as an athlete game him a
keenly analytical mind and enabled
him to see the things the ordinary
spectator missed. His sports writing
stands unsurpassed as veracious and
colorful j ournalism which gave an
unbiased report of the activity on
the sports scene.
So now as the shadows grow longer
down on the field , and the clock
sweeps through the last seconds of
the game , we rise from ou r seasts in
tribute to a player who has given the
gam e extraordinary service, a player
who leaves behind him a legacy of
incredible proportion.
As f ar as his service with us is
concerned , he will hear the final
whistle on Commencement Day. But
in another sense he will be leaving
this game to engage himself in the
greatest game of all — the game of
going out into the world and finding
your way to the top. He leaves us
with all our best wishes for luck and
success , and somehow we feel that
the spirit of fine sportsmanship
which made him a winner here will
also make him a winner in that bigger and greater game.

Sunbury High Band
Presents Fine Program

A concert by Sunbuvy High
Scho ol' s fine eighty-five piece band
featured the weekly assembly held
on Thursday morning, M ay 6, in the
Carver Auditorium. The band , under
the dire c tion o f Cha rles Colem an , deli ghted a large audience of students
and faculty with a varied and wellbalanced program of marches and
concert music.
The visiting musicians opened their
program with th e familiar "His Honor " march and followed that with
Tschaikovsky 's "Marche Slav." A
clarinet trio composed of Joyce Hoffman , Martin Agress, and Ella Forsythe played "Three Little Bullfinches" with band accompaniment.
Two unusually fine compositions
were next presented as the band
played "Russian Sailor Dance " and a
concert arrangement of '"Fhe Bells of
St . Mai-y 's." Francis Fuge was featured in a unique version of the wellknown "Piccolo Pic."
Mr. Coleman th en called Charles
H. Henrie, director of the College
band , to the podium and asked him
to direct his organization in a
stirring composition "New Colonial
March ." A special arrangement of
"Pilgrim 's Chor u s" for French horns
gave a quartet of young " ladies an
opportunity to display their talent.
Included in the group were June
Broscius, Joan Sechrist, Nancy Fisher , and Mary Rhone.
Climax of the program was an
unusually fine rendition of a medley
of songs from Sigmund Romberg 's
"Student Prince" and the familiar
"Holiday For Strings." As their concluding number, the Sunbury boys
and girls played Morton Gould's lovely "Pavanne."
The program was arranged by Mr.
Coleman who was introduced to the
College audience by Charles H. Henrie. President Harvey A. Andruss
presided over brief devoti onal exercises preceding the concert.

Music That Pleases
The sweet , smooth , simple music
of Eddy Howard is surely music that
pleases. Most top bandleaders are
constantly looking for new effects
but Eddy Howard sticks to a straight
music style with a danceable beat.
Made up of five brass, five reed and
three rhythm instruments, the band
does a smooth if not inspired j ob on
everything from Dixieland through
Latin and novelty numbers to slow
ballads.
Eddy is showman enough to front
the band affably with sly comments
to dancers and grinning wave hellos
to friends. He also mixes tunes well.
Current pops are integrated with
medleys of standards.
By the way, the Howard group has
seventy-two Maj estic records , one
hundred and forty-four sides, ahead.
At a record per month rate, they will
hold out on wax for six years. So,
now most of you Howard disc collectors can r elax, we assure you.
No one knows better than Eddy
Howard that a colossal record like
"To Each His Own " can boost you to
fame. But if , after a great record,
a musician makes less and less good
platers, he can sink back into ' obscurity, Howard's "Now Is the Hour"
and "But Beautiful" are plenty good
and big. Nevertheless, for a goodluck charm , he uses "To Each His
Own" as his theme song.
Popular Albums

"Down Memory Lane" by Vaughn
Monroe. Good dance albums seem to
be few and far between these days;
and you'll be happy to have this

around. The gimmick in this set is
that all the songs have either "memory " or "remember" in the title.
Most are old, but if you can take
that , it won 't gi ve you any more
trouble. Vaughn contributes the vocals as well as the baton.
Nellie Lutcher who created quite a
sensation last year with her exotic
singing and hot piano playing has
released another new album. Her
lingering, gliding vocals and her lively piano are tours in this album , presenting "Sleepy Lagoon, Pleaching for
the Moon and Lake Charles Boogie."
One at a Time
"All of Me." With a small combination behind him, Frank Sinatra does
a bang-up j ob oh this-revival. He's
relaxed; the tune 's nice; the tempo's
not too slow. Reverse is a pleasant
enough ballad, "I Went Down to Virginia. "
"Love of My Life" by Perry Como.
Perry does his usual persuasive , satisfying job on this tune from "The
Pirate, " the mate "You Can Do No
Wrong" is also typical of Perry 's
work .
"Aman Can Be a Wonderful
Thing." This recording done in sharp
fashion by Ray McKinley is strictly
cute. The brass is exciting on the
m ate , "Tambourine."
"Air Conditioned Jungle. " Du ke
Ellington offers his first fine pairing
on this disc,*!* quite some time. This

Jimmy Hamilto n 's mellow clarinet.

reverse.

Lehet of Wilk es-Barre recently ' became engaged to Ray Mills of Snickshinny . Betty is a Senior, stu dent

Cupid isn 't the only on e who has
been out of circulation lately. Never
heard so much moaning and groaning
about tests. Everyone is hitting the
books like mad . Cheer up—only a
few more days to go!
We wonder if it was coincidence,
conspiracy, or consideration which
caused Lois Datesman and Wilmer
Nester to be chosen co-editors of the
handbook for next year.
Sidelights of the week included the
blimp which visited Bloom airport
and the murder trial downtown. Incidentally, there were a number of
class excuse blanks which , under
"reason ," should have 'read "murder"
rather than the conventional "illness." Know what I mean ?
With a si gh , the Prom has now

Past and Future * ? ?

Millard Ludwig, graduating sports
editor of the Maroon and Gold , expressed the belief that sports in
Huskydom are definitely on the upgrade. "I hope the next seven years
will show as much improvement as
the pust seven," he went on to say.
"The athletes here now have the
abili ty, and it is up to the college to
back each athletic team to the limit.
As I see things now, the only drawback in making Bloomsburg an A-l
college in . athletics is the lack of
support on the part of the college
community, "
As the most outstanding all-around
athlete during his four years as a
sports writer, Millard named Whitey
McCloskey, who played back in the
early forties, Whftey played football ,
basketball, and baseball and turned
in top-notch performances in all
throe. When football was dropped
temporarily in 1943, ho successfully
tried his hand at soccer and became
a four letter winner.
Among the athletes on the campus
now, Millard believes Paul Slobozlon ,

home on the grass or the oak , and
has turned in yeoman service during
the two years he has been here.
Millard lists two games of the
never - to - be - forgotten variety. The
first is the gridiron battle of last
season with Lock Haven , the one in
which the Huskies notched a 19-14
victory in the last seconds of the
game. The other thriller dates back
to 1942 when -B.S.T.C. was playing
East Stroudsburg in the Waller Hall
Gymnasium. The Big Red finally
nipped the Huskies by one point , 4847, after the lead had been shifting
back and forth through the greater
part of the game.
