Informative Assembly
Presided over by Thaddeus Swigonski , president jj f the Community Governm ent A ssocia tion, th e assembly
program of Thursday, February 24,
was three-fold in its purpose.
Reports of recent activities of the
College Council were presented by
Frank Lu chnick, vice president of the
Association. He told fi rst of the purchase of a new station wagon for use
in college affairs. Purchase and installation of an amplifying system
was noted as a recent improvement
of the Centennial Gyamnasium. Mention was made of the change in policy
considered for the coming C. G. A.
elections.
Luchnick asked for more cooperation from the student body in the
care of the lounge and furniture and
of the game equipment provided in
the recreation room s. Sponsoring of
the square dances, which are proving
to become ever more popular, was
also reported.
Forms distributed to the assembly
as they entered the auditorium were
discussed by Swigonski as the next
part of the progam. This matter was
in regard to a change of policy in
securing nominations of candidates
for offices in the C.G.A. as suggested
by the College Council. The plan, presented for the approval of the student
body, is one whereby petitions are
circulated by prospective candidates,
or by their campaign managers, indicating their desire to run for office.
To each of these petitions must be
affixed twenty signatures, including
four from each of the following organizations: Day Women, Dormitory
Women, Day Men, and Dormitory
Men. These petitions are then to be
submitted to the Election Board,
which will check the eligibility of
each candidate and post his name.
Thus will be assured the willingness
and eligibility of a group of candidates for each office. On the day set
for nominations, all eligible candidates will be nominated from the
floor. Additional nominations, if a ny,
will be permitted at that time , but
must then also be checked for eligibility. Following the approval of the
procedure by the assembly, the secretary, upon the suggestion of Dr.
North, was instructed to provide
forms for those desiring to circulate
petitions.
An open forum was featured in the
closing portion of the program as
questions asked by the students were
answered by the officers and by members of the faculty. Mr. Hoch indicated that the school is willing to purchase ping-pong equipment and cards

A recent official release from the
College Secondary Education Department stated that its Annual Secondary Education Conference will stress
the theme "Secondary Education for
Today." Mr. Harry F. Garner, director of the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Secondary Education Department , said that the conference will be
held on Saturday, March 26. He also
stated that the theme for the conference will closely parallel the new
developments in the field of high
school education as outlined in the
March issue of "Educational Leader:
ship, " the j ournal of the Association
for Supervision and Curriculum Development of the National Education
Associ a tion.
Since the in-service program of the
College is rapidly becoming recognized as one of the finest and most outstanding in the state, this year's conference is expected to attract many
teachers , supervisors, and school administrators from the Central Pennsylvania area. Several hundred persons attended last year 's meeting
which was rated as one of the best
educational programs they had ever
attended.
According to Mr. Garner, there will
be two main speakers. One will be
Dr. Ralph Fields , Executive Officer of
the Division of Curriculum and Instruction , Teachers College, Columbia
University, and the other will be
Stewart C. Hulslander, director , Division of Guidance , University of Michi tra n

Dr. Fields, one of the country 's
most outstanding leaders in the field
of education , holds the rank of Professor of Education at Columbia , and
was formerly the Superintendent of
Schools in San Jose, California , before
coming to Columbia. He also served
as Director of Instruction in the Califomia State Department of Public
Instruction. While in this latter position , Dr. Fields did much to bring
about the extensive improvements in
the public schools of Santa Barbara,
California , which are in evidence
there today.

splendor dominated Centennial Gymnasium last Friday night when tt heir
Royal Excellencies, the King and
Queen of Hearts, held court at the
Sophomore Cotillion. Nearly 400 persons crowded into the ample spaciousness of the gaily decorated gymnasium to witness the coronation of the
King and Queen of Hearts and spend
the evening dancing to the music of
Eddie Karpee and his orchestra.
The corona tion ceremony, which
took place before intermission, was
the main feature of the evening. The
identity of the couple who were chosen as king and queen by student vote
earlier in the week was not revealed
until the time of the actual coronation, and an air of suspense pervaded
the court as the seven couples from
whom the royal pair were chosen
were individually introduced to the
audience. Following the formal introduction, the seven gentlemen of the
court took positions to the left of the
bandstand , and the seven court ladies
assembled themselves to the right.
Applause broke the hushed silence as
Charles Boyer and Diane Snyder were
called to the front of the bandstand
where they were proclaimed the King
and Queen of Hearts.
The six remaining couples then
came forward and led the coronation
procession to the throne platform at
the opposite end of the dance floor.
The royal couple passed between the
members of the procession and mounted the platform, where they were
crowned by Elmer Kreiser, class
president, and Ruth Dooty, class vicepresident. Following the coronation ,
Boyer and Miss Snyder were each
presented with a gift from the sophomore class. The royal party then assembled itself on the dance floor and
led the entire court in the last dance
before intermission.
In keeping with the heart theme,
the entire gymnasium was impressively decorated in red and white. Two
large hearts were placed behind both
the throne platform and the bandstand , and red and white streamers
were hung over the dance floor. The
profusion of vari-colored gowns and
corsages blended into this impressive
background and added a final touch
of splendor to the Valentine court.
The college faculty were the guests
of the sophomore class, and a number
of the faculty members expressed the
view that the 1949 Cotillion was one
of the most successful in recent years.
Dancing was from nine until twelve,
and the orchestra added several novelty numbers to the regular dance
program, among them a Spike Jones
arrangement of "The Pussycat Song,"
The entire court was unanimous in
the opinion that the Cotillion was one
of the outstanding campus social events of the year. Officers of the
sophomore class and members of the
dance committee commented that the
success of the dance had exceeded
their most optimistic expectations.
The six couples who were attend( Continued on page 4)

the stamp is not an old practice, the
government agency which issues the
"printed papers" h a d ex isted for a
long time.
During the early colonial period ,
letters were delivered between colonies by merchants or travelers. Often
this postal business brought considerable profits. In 1639, the colonists
asked England to found a post office ;
in the same year the General Court
of Ma ssa ch u se tts t ook the firs t formal step in establishing such an agency.
Later, similar action was taken by
other colonies.
In 1692 , Thomas Neale was granted
a paten t to found post offices in
North America. The office for this
agency was established at Philadelphia and rates were set for most of
the colonies. Fifteen years later the
governmen t bough t the rights. In
1737, Benj amin Franklin became Deputy Postmaster; in 1753 he became
Postmaster General. In the crucial
year of 1774, he was dismissed from
his position. The postal service was

you have served mankind. Have you seen this article? You knew , of
cou rse , that it was missing—or weren 't you at assem bly on Thursday,
February 24 , 1949?
It mu st be admitted that the discussion carried on in assembly, the
gri pes aired , an d the solutions advanced gave the impression of Democracy at work. But the total disregard for the niceties of group courtesy would indicate that a fine sociable brawl was about to begin any
minute. The audience was , to put it mildly, in a d isor d er ly f rame of
mind. The greater majority of those in attendance seemed to want to
leave more than anything else. Yet , it wou ld b e sa f e to suppose t h at
those are the very people who moan most about what the C.G.A.
does and doesn 't When anyon e wished to speak , the confusion on
the floor made it a battle. If the speaker was tenacious , like the spirited
Mr. Linetti , he made himself heard above the murmurings of the
crowd. However , no one could accuse the student body of vital concern in this meeting of the college community. It seems strange that
such is true , since it is your money that the C.G.A. spends. All C.G.A.
policies affect you , an d then you yawn in boredom when your C.G.A.
off icer s seek to ex pl ain wh at t h ey have done and are doing.
So you 're tired of being nagged; you 're sick of being preached
to; you know you weren 't the acme of courteous perfection—so what?
So why not wise up ? Think of the chairman who is trying to conduct Just loving

Show Up or Shut Up . . . .
Within a short period of time, the student body of B.S.T.C. will
vote for those students whom they wish as representatives in the
Community Government Association. Many students will be asking
themselves , and their fellow students , such questions as , "Who shall
I vote for? ," or , "Do you think he 's a good man?"
The important thing is to vote for those students who can give us
the best representation , and who are not afraid to voice their opinions
at meetings of the C.G.A., regardless of the danger of connection with
the ideas of others,
welfare can be derived from the recent "question period " we had in
A good indication of which students are interested in student
the C.G.A.-sponsored assembly last week. Those students who had
leg itimate questions and ideas , and were not afraid to express them—
barring the amusement of some studen ts who seemed to find it all
merely mirth-provoking, and the certainl y uncalled-for and unnecessary critical remarks made by self-ordained "would-be wheels "'—are
to be commended and congratulated.
Don 't let other students "hig h pressure " you into voting for the
person they are voting for. It is not important whether the candida te
is a member of the football or basketball team , or whether he is well
known , but rather , is he capable?
Throug hout the year many students complain about the failures
and lack of enthusiasm in student-sponsored programs and undertakings; also, about the "cliques " that are supposed to exist on the
campus. Well, if such is your opinion , now is your chance to really
do something.
Remember , it 's usually those students who complain the loudest
who fail to vote, and then either criticize or app laud the final winners.
We should consider it not onl y our duty ,to vote , but also a privilege.
Regardless of who the candidates are , let 's all vote , and then
throw our whole-hearted support behind the ultimate winners in all
their endeavors. It is for our own benefi t and well-being that we cooperate with our student-officers on the Community Government Association.

DROP THAT GUN!
Thoughts while listening to "All
Right, Louie, Drop That Gun " as
rendered by Dimetriepole Krapopalus
and his Ramblin' Ridge Runners
(k azoo solo by "Moan-mouth" Mitchel) . . .
Suppose one of today 's movie cowboys, Gene Autry, for instance, were
to meet up with one of the real villains of the Old West. Autry would
take off his banj e, drop his shootin'
irons and stick up his dukes for the
usual movie Marquis of Queensbury
rough and tumble. The villain would
casually kick him in the stomach,
bash in his head, lift his scalp, and
break both his arms. In real-lifeHollywood this could never happen ,

I had thought of doing this piece 3

on "I Was a Commuter," but fearing f ,

a misprint , I shall desist. It might
come off the presses, "I Was a Communist ." Before I could print a retraction , the Un-American Activities
Committee would be investigating
me; the F.B.I, would confiscate my
pumpkin crop for X-ray therapy ta
make sure there was no micro-film
growing inside ; Winchell would deman that I be ostracized, criticized ,
banned , burned, and deported; and
"Time " would cancel my subscription.
I would like to point out some of
the advantages of being a commuter
though. In the first place, you are
guaranteed all 8 o'clock classes. This
means you have to get up before
dawn each day. Everyone knows how
healthful and invigorating that is. It' s
also such a lovely, scenic dri ve to
Bloomsburg — on the 10 or 11 days
each year when it isn't foggy. (I must
request that those unfortunate dorm
st u d ents, who h ave to "sleep in " each
morning because they have no early
classes, refrain from asking this column how commuters arrange for
t hese 8 o'clock's. You j ust have to be
in the clique, that's all.
As a commuter you get to carry
your lunch. Thus, if you like pressed
ham sandwiches, you j ust bring ordinary ham. By the time you 've carried
it around all morning, brother, it will
be well pressed. Or perhaps you like
an appetizer with your lunch. In that
case you bring tomato sandwiches
wrapped in waterproof paper. By
noon the tomatoes will be wellsqueezed. You simply punch a hole
in the wrapper and drink the juice
which has been squeezed out. Then
you unwrap the sandwich and eat it,
having thoroughly enjoyed your appe••

My good friend Dewey Trapote has
kindly consented to give me a hint as
to how to write a novel. He has supplied the following simple formulae :
"Take the plots from a comic book, a
movie serial, and a radio soap-opera ,
add a dash of yellow journal sensationalism , and a touch of pseudo-sophistication from the many women 's
magazines. Stir thoroughly and serve
garnished with several large, pretentious-sounding words selected at random from the dictionary. " Dewey 's
latest — "Nymph of Paradise " — has
been selected by 58 book clubs and is
being serialized , condensed and made
into a movie.
Up to the age of 16, a lad is a Boy
Scout; after that he 's usually a girl
scout.

Wishermen Wind Up Card with Win Over Lycoming Warriors

ISIDELINES I
IN SPORTS . . .

by Wayne Von Stetten
One of the largest turnouts of* the
brief basketball season here at BSTC
saw the Philadelphia Eagles basketball team clash with the Valley Shawnees last Saturday evening. The huge
gym up Centennial way was crammed
to the rafters with thoughtful citizens
and students , who undoubtedly contributed a sizeable pot to the worthy
Yout h Recreation Fund.

The splendid crowd was treated to
a combination, of basketball, football ,
and a bit of mirthful comedy thrown
in to make the evening1 a memorable
one. Bound man, Alex Wojchiechowicz, proved the outstanding clown on
the floor as he exhibited an unusual
set shot from a virtual squat position.
We realize football is a long way
off , but we thought you'd enjoy reading bits of enlightening information
about those illustrious Eagles. We
were fortunate enough to spend a few
minutes with the visiting Birds in
their dressing room before they departed on another leg of their road
trip.

The "Golden Boy of the Bayous,"
Steve Van Buren, the NFL's leading
ball carrier, proved to possess a most
pleasing personality when interviewed. The former L.S.TJ. star was emphatic in stating that his biggest
thrill in football came one snowy
S u n d ay afternoon last December
when the Eagles snatched the World's
Championship from the W e s t e r n
Champ Chicago Cards at Shi be Park
before 28,000 howling fans.
Messrs. Humbert , Pritchard , McDowell, Ferrante, Mackrides, and
Wojchiechowicz joined their teammate in expressing the same big thrill
they received from last year's allimportant v ictory over t h e r iva l
Card s from the Win dy City that
meant Philly's first Championship.
When asked to compare the greatness of Pittston's Charlie Trippi and
the Eagle's Van Buren , all quipped in
unison, "Trippi couldn't carr y Steve's
shoes." Thoughtfully, your writer
withdrew and didn't press the issue
fiirthftr.

The portly Woj ie , when asked
which game of his long and brilliant
career was the roughest, excla imed
without hesitation that the game
with little Franklin and Marshall
College from Lancaster in 1937 at the
Polo Grounds was truly brutal from
start, to finish. Due to the Herculean
efforts of the Diplomats' Little AllAmerican center , "Woody" Sponau gle, the Fordhamites were barely able
to eek out a 14-7 win. (Note: Sponaugle was later coach of the Huskies'
Tom Donan , Elm Kreiser, Glonn Von
Stetten , Bob Walther, and yours
truly at Columbia High School.)
DID YOU KNOW ? . . . . Charlie
Boyer, the Pottsvllle Ace, for the second consecutive year has lilt the coveted two - hundred mark in points
scored. Charlie will bo sorely missed
when Pote Wisher's boys take to the
boards next year . . . Eddie Allegar,
the former Husky soccer and baseball
flash, \n returning to professional
baseball once again. Erie, of the Middle Atlantic League, is the fortunate
club. Good luck, Eddie! . . . A bright
boy from the Big Six Conference recently announced his plan which
would eliminate the terri fi c heckling
basketball referees have been taking
during the current season. His scheme
calls for a mask to be worn by the
official in order to obscuro Ills identity from the fans, and therefore
protect him from the constant ribbing thrown his way from the wolves'
gallery. Might be workable If some
of those jokers called officials don
the devil's mask . . . S'long till next
week.

Huskies Finish Season With Even
Split by Crushing Lycoming 72-39

Husky Courtmen Send Mountaineers
Back to the Hills in 5647 Win
Boyer Paces Wisher Squad
With 16 Points as Huskies
Rack Up 7th Win of Season

Coach Pete Wisher's newly-developed two-platoon system paid off last
Wednesday ni gh t w h en t h e Hu skies
dumped Mansfield S.T.C., 56-47. It
was t h e secon d t i me t hi s sea son t hat
the Mountaineers felt the powerful
sting behind the Wishermens' withering attack.
Coach Wisher started his usual
combination—Boyei\ Kashner, Kreiser, Andrews, and Banull—but , in the
waning minutes of the initial quarter ,
he inserted a completely new lineup
consisting of Slob'oz i en , Jones, Bart leson , Evans, and Lambrinos. This
latter squad , led ably by Mike Evans,
surged to a 21 to 11 lead before
Mentor Wisher re-inserted his starting five. The starters held their own ,
and the half ended with the Huskies
boasting a commanding 25-15 lead,
Boyer, Kashner & Co. started the
second half and played five and a half
minutes of the third period — score
35-22 — before the relief "seconds"
came into the game geared for action.
Then started the only trouble the
Huskies encountered all evening fi'om
the Mountaineei^s' corner. Mansfield
put on the heat and began to hit the
cords like popping popcorn kernels in
a red-hot popcorn popper: the result
—a pulled up 30-52 score in the third
period finals. This was the beginning
of the end for the Mansfield hillbillys
h owever, for when Coach Wisher
switched platoons at this strategic
point in the fracas, Charley Boyer
and Bobby Kashner set to work and
"iced" the game with four brilliantlyexecuted field goals.
"Little Wheel" Kashner, who played an outstan din g fl oor game a ll eve ning, fed off two fast break passes to
his running cohort , Ch arley Boy er ,
w h o t h en converted them i nto fie ld
goal tallies. Charley then returned to
t h e scene of action wit h a set sh ot
f rom the sid e, and Bobby Kashner
followed up with a beautiful set shot
from the floor. This was the straw
that broke the back of the Mountaineer qu i ntet , for during these fast-paced two m i nutes t h ey cou ld onl y man age to slip in one foul shot. At this
stage of the game, t he Scoreboard
leaned hopelessly in favor of the
Huskies 47-33.
Ch arley Boy er 's 16 po i nt s ran his
season 's efforts to a grand total of
200—exactly—, b ut t h e floorwork of
Bobby Kashner, an d t h e d efensive
efforts of "Big Elm" Kreiser stood
out easily as the most satisfying
achievements of the contest.

Eagles Scalp Valley
Shawnees 51-45
In a game t h at was marked by

more comedy than good basketball,
the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the
Valley Shawnees, 51-45, last Saturday
night on the Centennial Gymnasium's
shellac-boards before an estimated
crowd of 1000 fans.
Hum b ert was t h e on ly outstan di n g
player for the pro-football stars, slicing off 10 points for himself and his
team. Lanky Ross Hughes scored 14
points for the Shawnees , as well as
playing a good floor game alt evening.
Much comedy was offered for the
fans' approval by Alex Woj chiechowic
as he "performed" "Al Schact style"
for the bleacher-warmers.

Gold office contained a scathing editorial concerning sweater-wearing females. The editorialist claimed that the increasing popularity of the sweater
habit indicated how desperate college girls were becoming in their effort to
attract the attention of campus males. After thinking it over, it seems that
the girls are no more desperate than the men are. The men like to dwell
upon the 'man shortage ' which is supposedly sweeping the country from
