NEA Publishes New
Book with Chapter
Rv Doctor North
Book To Aid Graduates
In Ed. Administration
A new book, entitled "Teacher Education ", is attracting nation-wide attention to the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, One of the chapters , "Selection of Students for
Teacher Preparation ," was written
by Dr. Thomas P. North , Dean of Instruction at B.S.T.C.
Published and distributed last week
to all prominent educational leaders
in the United States by the National
Education Association, the book is
designed to aid graduate students in
the field of education , particularly
those who are desirous of specializing
in the administrational phase of
teacher education.
The publication is based on the results of three different conferences
held during the past three years. The
last of these conferences was held at
Bowling Green , Ohi o, under the sponsorship of the National Commission
on Teacher Education and National
Standards of the National Education
Association.
Attendance to the conferences was
by invitation only, and was limited to
four hundred prominent figures in
the field of education who represented all phases of the educational profession.
Dr. North , because of his prominence in this field , was selected as the
Pennsylvania representative to these
confabs by the Pennsylvania State
Education Association.

Woman 's Civic Club
To Award Scholarship
The Woman's Civic Club, of
Bloomsburg, recently announced that
the final plans for the awarding of a
four-year scholarship at B.S.T.C. to
some worthy student of the Bloomsburg High School were formulated
last week at the organization 's regular meeting. The gratuitous scholarship will enable the recipient to enter
B.S.T.C. at the beginning of the Fall
semester in 1950.
Details of the selection for the new
scholarship will be announced at a
later date.
Michael Iacobelli, a student of the
College, recently had an article, entitled "The Semantic Discipline,"
published in the January issue of
"The Modern Language Journal," a
nationwide publication.
The paper was originally written
as a research assignment for the English II course, under the direction of
Mr. DeVoe. The subj ect of the article
concerns the basic need of society for
a more communicative language. In
it , Iacobelli has attempted to show
how a better understanding of the
real meaning of words can be accomplished. A fundamental point in his
discussion is the "semantic triangle",
which shows the relationship between
word , thought, and meaning.
"The semantic triangle is the key
which should be used for the solution
of the two major problems of language. The first problem is the identification of words with things. The
second problem is the misuse of abstract words."
The paper concl u des : "There cannot be too much stress put upon the
meaning of words today. Writers and
speakers cannot afford to be easy
writers and speakers any more. Every subtlety, and every idiom, every
metaphor, must be used with definite
understanding. For upon the ability
to translate ideas and political policy
into terms that have the same meaning to all who use them, depends upon the outcome of the peace of the
world for all time."
Iacobelli, whose home is in Port
Chester, N.Y., is now a junior maj oring in Accounting, and minoring in
English.
The January issue of the magazine
which includes Iacobelli's work is
now available in the college library.
Poetry Club Meets
At the recent regular meeting of
the Poetry Club, a poetry quiz was
presented to the members of the club.
The quiz, devised by Kay Chapin,
Eleanor Pupo, and Audrey Terrel,
was the quotation-identification type,
and was thoroughly enj oyed by those
present.
At the next meeting, a round-table
discussion of poetry, in charge of Max
Kaplan , will be featured.

Business & Plea sure
In Recent Assembly
On Thursday morning, March 3,
Carver Hall Auditorium resounded
with the applause accorded the performers of the "Obiter Follies." The
show, the first of its kind on the
campus, had a distinctive tone all its
own, and was capably directed by
Isaac "Zeke" Abraham and Zita
Spangler Cortright. The ninety minutes of music and fun have been acclaimed by campus critics as "one of
the best all-student productions of
the year." Mr. Edward T. DeVoe was
the faculty advisor for the program.
Acting as emcee, "Zeke" kept the
show moving steadily along with
light-natured gag-lines and patter.
The only pauses were those taken
between several of the cast when Obiter salesmen canvassed the assembly in an effort to promote sales of
the college annual. In addition to
furnishing entertainment to the College Community, this sales driye was
the co-equal purpose of the two-fold
extravaganza. Both aims were well
achieved—the audience was favorably impressed and entertained, and
76 additional copies were put on order
by the peppy sales campaigners of the
Obiter staff.
Making its surprise debut on the
Carver Hall stage, the "Obiter Chorus" was featured in the first number
of the program. Eight girls in gowns
formed an attractive setting for the
vocal rendition of Cole Porter's
"Night and Day," as sung by Harry
"Sonny" Coleman, accompanied by
Jean Ruckle. Each of the girls carried a parasol, the top of which was
cleverly covered so as to present an
effective and unusual pattern in contrast as the chorines glided smoothly
through a graceful routine. Four of
the tops were white, and four were
black, thus creating a Ziegfield-Follies-simulated stage setting that was
pleasingly different and unusual judging from past shows presented in assembly. The chorus was composed of
eight of B.S.T.C.'s prettiest and most
graceful lassies. They were : Susan
"Sue" Driebelbis, Joan Grazell, Kathleen "Kitty " Mitchell, Elizabeth "Bebe" Reece, Madelyn Schalles, Diane
Snyder , and Nancy Wesenyak.
The next number was a harmonized presentation of that old , old favorite of by-gone days, "That Old Gang
of Mine." Sober-faced and sad-voiced ,
Grace Smith and Mary Helen Morrow caught the audience's fancy with
their clever comedy interpretation
and pantomiming as they sang. Enthusiastic applause brought the two
young misses back for an encore
which they did in a style similar to
that used for their first number. The
song "All of Me" received adequate

Faith Means Strength....
In a re cent sermon , a r enowned cl ergyman ma de t h i s statement
. , . "F aith is a bulwark against Communism."
For some time now t he very foundation of Democracy has been
rocked by Communism . While we attempt to prevent its entrance from
the external world , its strength within the country con fines to grow.
It communicates its ideas to those who, being sh ake n by a great war ,
have lost their fidelity in Democracy.
America must restore her faith if her democracy is to survive. She
must reunite her people under the spirit which has kept her strong for
these many years. Her workers have to relearn to trust one another;
in turn , these workers have to trust their employers.
This united loyalty among fellowmen , together with a faith in
Divine power , will result in strength. This is the strength America
needs. This is the strength America must have if she is to subdue the
mighty forces of Communism, (mm )
Invest in Tomorrow . . . Toda y!
The S.C.A. is sponsoring a World Student Service Fund campaign in this college. This fund is primarily designed to hel p m eet t h e
needs of students all over the world. Such things as food , books , mimeographed notes, an d laboratory equipment are onl y a f ew of t h e
things which contributions will help to buy. This may seem slightly
inconsquential to you , but in reality it mean s that universities in wardevastated European countries can go on operating'-'that students at
these institutions can continue their training. It also means that the
terrific lack of trained specialists—doctors , lawyers, engine ers'—can
be gradually met and vanquished.
Through the W.S.S.F. you may help your fellow students abroad ,
without regard to race , color, or creed , in five main fields : food , medical aid , books, clothing, and housing.
"Invest in tomorrow ... today " is the slogan for the W.S.S. F.
Later this mpnth you will be able to do your share when the Student Christian Association committee , in charge of Martha Rapp, will
pass out to the student body envelopes for the purpose of containing
your contribution . Start saving your pennies now for this worthy and
beneficial cause. "Invest in tomorrow ... today. " (me)

Forty Swatters Answer
Coach Redman's Call for
1949 Baseball Candidates
by Wayne Von Stetten
Approximately forty aspirants answered Coach Bob Redman's initial
call last week for candidates for the
College's 1949 baseball team. The
Huskies face a tough fourteen-game
schedule that lists tilts with Susquehanna University, Ithaca College, and
a number of Teachers College opponents.
The list of candidates, who have
been working out daily in the Benj amin Franklin School gymnasium
include veterans from last year's club
and twenty-four promising newcomers.
Back from last season 's squad are :
catcher Owen Diehle, first sacker Ed
Piestrak, short stop Bob Thomas,
third baseman John Czerniakowski,
and outfielders Paul Slobozien, Jack
Buynak , Clair Mensinger, and Henry
Marek. Two veteran pitchers are
back for another try at college ball—
Mike Evans, rangy right-hander and
Henry Brunn, a diminutive southpaw.
Among the newcomers who are
making serious bids for berths on
the 1949 club is Bill Byham, promising Freshman hurler, who throws
from the port side of the mound. Other hopeful newcomers are: Bernie
Kotula, Diek Hummel, Dick Ledyard ,
Bill Bartleson, Curtis Herb, Bernie
Hamershock, Ed Kolodgie , Charles
Getchey, Stan Levan, George Lambrinos, Don Kearns, Buddy Hartman,
Jim Hulsizer, Fra nk Gall o, Jack
Gallo, Jack Thomas, John Sheleman,
Don Butler, Hugh Elliott , Ken Borst ,
and Charles Lewis.
The Huskies open their campaign
against a powerful Second Army
team at Fort Meade on Saturday,
April 9.
The boys from the Associated
Press have issued their 1948-49 AllState Teachers College basketball
fives. Our own Charlie Boyer, that
handsome individual from over Pottsville way, was named on the second
team. This was the third consecutive
year Boyer has landed a position
among the coveted "All Staters."
Big Elm Kreiser, who played brilliantly throughout the season and displayed the most consistent brand of
ball , in our opinion , was given honorable mention. Our Huskies, by placing two men on the AP team, were
well represented in spite of a mediocre season.
We noticed with a great deal of
leasure
that Jackie McClelland , of
p
Shippensburg Teachers , snared a
berth on the first team. In the three
years we observed • the sharpshooter
from the Cumberland Valley, he has
shown us more than All-State play.
In addi tion to averagin g better th an
twent y points per game , he was a
ball of fire with the fast break and
played fine defensive ball as well.
Husk y fans who witne ssed the Red
Raiders -Huskies game at Shippens bur g thi s year are still talkin g of
Jackie McC lelland and his performance against our boys. Our hats are
off to the AP boys for making a fine
choice.
The coming of warmer weather ,
which seems to be setting in a bit
early this year, will afford Coach Bob
Redman a chance to size up his proteges who have been working out
daily in the Benj amin Franklin
School gymnasium. While indoor
practice has its advantages , it's difficult to ascertain the strength of your
pitching staff until the flingers commence chucking regulation intrasquad games upon Mt. Arctic. It is
our hope that Coach Redman can
come up with a hurler or two who
can survive the gusty gales. Incidently, speaking of outside drills brings
to our attention the importance of a
regulation batting cage at Bloomsburg. Many hours of valuable time
could be saved by purchasing such a
valuable piece of equipment.
Now that the basketball season is
completed , it is fitting that we compliment the players who worked very
iiard to make the season a successful
one despite the fact that the Huskies
failed to nabe the Teachers Crown or
finish as high as some of the more
ardent supporters predicted at the
season's start. Every one of them did
a splendid job, and with a few more
breaks thrown in their direction, the
season would have been more successful on the basis of won and lost.
Coach Fete Wisher experienced a bit
of difficulty In the early stages of the
season In his search for a winning
combination, but once found, he did
a fine job In molding a smooth combination. The second half of the cage
campaign was highly successful .
The intramural leagues have proved to be quite popular with the students, thus fulfilling the main obj ective. The purpose of intramurals
at any school is to furnish those individuals who cannot participate in

In perhaps the most exciting game
the Husky Jayvees have played this
season, the Pups came out on the
short end of an 85-69 score against
the Bucknell University Freshmen at
Lewisburg. The score is not indicative of the brand of ball that was
displayed by these two teams as the
fans who came to see the BucknellMuhlenburg game were brough t to
their feet many times in the second
half of a contest that was to see the
victors pull away only in the last few
minutes of a hard-fought contest.
Leading a rally in the closing minutes of the third quarter and at the
beginning of the last, Al DeGatis,
Jim Heller, and Lou Byham turned
in some fancy shots that delighted
the fans. The locals came within a
few points of the Bucknell club only
to have Gallagher, the Bucknell star
forward, put the home team out in
front with a comfortable margin.
Perhaps the most instrumental factor in the Pup 's spectacular showing
was the shooting of Al DeGatis from
outside the foul circle and the accurate passing of Byham who repeatedly
set up Husky scores with his wellplaced spot passes, DeGatis, Heller,

Don 't Laugh Now . . .
An organization known as "Laughs Unlimited" is now dishing out corn
by the bushels for persons who have the desire to be funny but can't Quite
make the grade on their own resources. Listed among its clients is a variety
of professional people ranging from senators to school teachers. The appearance of this latter group is good for a laugh in itself , since most of us here
plan to teach after we graduate. Traditionally, school teachers are able to
make one tried and true j oke last a lifetime, and if the profession has now
decided that the act should be revised from time to time, it will be a revolutionary change in the fiel d of education. In light of this trend toward variety,
it seems that teachers colleges could render their students a valuable service
by including a unit on effective j oke telling in the curriculum materials course.
Since the three R's are more palatable when served up with a little humor,
every teacher should keep a straw hat, a cane, and a pair of roller skates on
hand for emergency use when all other sources fail.

Now It Can Be Told . . .
The sponsors of the Obiter Show were visibly worried about whether
their idea would sell Obiters or not, so they pulled an old trick out of the
bag and planted about a dozen 'buyers' out in the audience. Fortunately, they
had no need of them once the show got rolling, for it proved itself a doublebarreled success entirely on its own merit. It not only sold 76 Obiters but
turned out to be one of the best entertainment programs of the whole year.
Th e Obi ter sales are n ow ov er the 400 ma rk , which is more than a hundred
over the number the staff had originally expected to sell. It might not be a
bad idea if a show of this type were to be made an annual affair. It would go
a long way toward maintaining student interest in student activities.

Any of you local lads who have been quarreling with your .female of late
might pay particular heed to an observation made by an eminent psychiatrist. This chap claims that the whole secret of getting along with the fair
sex lies in recognizing the fact that they are extremists by nature. What he
means is that women are always either very happy or very sad, or very something or the other. They are never able to strike a happy medium in their
outlook on life—things must necessarily be very wonderful or very terrible.
They have even developed a special language of superlatives. A dress or a
hat is either utterly delightful or perfectly stupid. In fact, the dress or the
hat may be anything at all j ust as long as it is very much so. This extremist
tendancy can also be seen in the ever-changing trends in women's fashions.
Hemlines are up and down more times in the space of a year than the window
blinds in an old maid's apartment. So, young fellow, if you're going to get
along with the women, you'll have to take them for what they are—dyed-inthe-wool extremists.

NEA Publishes New
Book with Chapter
Rv Doctor North
Book To Aid Graduates
In Ed. Administration
A new book, entitled "Teacher Education ", is attracting nation-wide attention to the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, One of the chapters , "Selection of Students for
Teacher Preparation ," was written
by Dr. Thomas P. North , Dean of Instruction at B.S.T.C.

teacher education.
The publication is based on the results of three different conferences
held during the past three years. The
last of these conferences was held at
Bowling Green , Ohi o, under the sponsorship of the National Commission
on Teacher Education and National
Standards of the National Education
Association.
Attendance to the conferences was
by invitation only, and was limited to
four hundred prominent figures in
the field of education who represented all phases of the educational profession.
Dr. North , because of his prominence in this field , was selected as the
Pennsylvania representative to these
confabs by the Pennsylvania State
Education Association.

Woman 's Civic Club
To Award Scholarship
The Woman's Civic Club, of
Bloomsburg, recently announced that
the final plans for the awarding of a
four-year scholarship at B.S.T.C. to
some worthy student of the Bloomsburg High School were formulated
last week at the organization 's regular meeting. The gratuitous scholarship will enable the recipient to enter
B.S.T.C. at the beginning of the Fall
semester in 1950.
Details of the selection for the new
scholarship will be announced at a
later date.
Michael Iacobelli, a student of the
College, recently had an article, entitled "The Semantic Discipline,"
published in the January issue of
"The Modern Language Journal," a
nationwide publication.
The paper was originally written
as a research assignment for the English II course, under the direction of
Mr. DeVoe. The subj ect of the article
concerns the basic need of society for
a more communicative language. In
it , Iacobelli has attempted to show
how a better understanding of the
real meaning of words can be accomplished. A fundamental point in his
discussion is the "semantic triangle",
which shows the relationship between
word , thought, and meaning.
"The semantic triangle is the key
which should be used for the solution
of the two major problems of language. The first problem is the identification of words with things. The
second problem is the misuse of abstract words."
The paper concl u des : "There cannot be too much stress put upon the
meaning of words today. Writers and
speakers cannot afford to be easy
writers and speakers any more. Every subtlety, and every idiom, every
metaphor, must be used with definite
understanding. For upon the ability
to translate ideas and political policy
into terms that have the same meaning to all who use them, depends upon the outcome of the peace of the
world for all time."
Iacobelli, whose home is in Port
Chester, N.Y., is now a junior maj oring in Accounting, and minoring in
English.
The January issue of the magazine
which includes Iacobelli's work is
now available in the college library.
Poetry Club Meets
At the recent regular meeting of
the Poetry Club, a poetry quiz was
presented to the members of the club.
The quiz, devised by Kay Chapin,
Eleanor Pupo, and Audrey Terrel,
was the quotation-identification type,
and was thoroughly enj oyed by those
present.
At the next meeting, a round-table
discussion of poetry, in charge of Max
Kaplan , will be featured.

Business & Plea sure
In Recent Assembly
On Thursday morning, March 3,
Carver Hall Auditorium resounded
with the applause accorded the performers of the "Obiter Follies." The
show, the first of its kind on the
campus, had a distinctive tone all its
own, and was capably directed by
Isaac "Zeke" Abraham and Zita
Spangler Cortright. The ninety minutes of music and fun have been acclaimed by campus critics as "one of
the best all-student productions of
the year." Mr. Edward T. DeVoe was
the faculty advisor for the program.
Acting as emcee, "Zeke" kept the
show moving steadily along with
light-natured gag-lines and patter.
The only pauses were those taken
between several of the cast when Obiter salesmen canvassed the assembly in an effort to promote sales of
the college annual. In addition to
furnishing entertainment to the College Community, this sales driye was
the co-equal purpose of the two-fold
extravaganza. Both aims were well
achieved—the audience was favorably impressed and entertained, and
76 additional copies were put on order
by the peppy sales campaigners of the
Obiter staff.
Making its surprise debut on the
Carver Hall stage, the "Obiter Chorus" was featured in the first number
of the program. Eight girls in gowns
formed an attractive setting for the
vocal rendition of Cole Porter's
"Night and Day," as sung by Harry
"Sonny" Coleman, accompanied by
Jean Ruckle. Each of the girls carried a parasol, the top of which was
cleverly covered so as to present an
effective and unusual pattern in contrast as the chorines glided smoothly
through a graceful routine. Four of
the tops were white, and four were
black, thus creating a Ziegfield-Follies-simulated stage setting that was
pleasingly different and unusual judging from past shows presented in assembly. The chorus was composed of
eight of B.S.T.C.'s prettiest and most
graceful lassies. They were : Susan
"Sue" Driebelbis, Joan Grazell, Kathleen "Kitty " Mitchell, Elizabeth "Bebe" Reece, Madelyn Schalles, Diane
Snyder , and Nancy Wesenyak.
The next number was a harmonized presentation of that old , old favorite of by-gone days, "That Old Gang
of Mine." Sober-faced and sad-voiced ,
Grace Smith and Mary Helen Morrow caught the audience's fancy with
their clever comedy interpretation
and pantomiming as they sang. Enthusiastic applause brought the two
young misses back for an encore
which they did in a style similar to
that used for their first number. The
song "All of Me" received adequate

For some time now t he very foundation of Democracy has been
rocked by Communism . While we attempt to prevent its entrance from
the external world , its strength within the country con fines to grow.
It communicates its ideas to those who, being sh ake n by a great war ,
have lost their fidelity in Democracy.
America must restore her faith if her democracy is to survive. She
must reunite her people under the spirit which has kept her strong for
these many years. Her workers have to relearn to trust one another;
in turn , these workers have to trust their employers.
This united loyalty among fellowmen , together with a faith in
Divine power , will result in strength. This is the strength America
needs. This is the strength America must have if she is to subdue the
mighty forces of Communism, (mm )
Invest in Tomorrow . . . Toda y!
The S.C.A. is sponsoring a World Student Service Fund campaign in this college. This fund is primarily designed to hel p m eet t h e
needs of students all over the world. Such things as food , books , mimeographed notes, an d laboratory equipment are onl y a f ew of t h e
things which contributions will help to buy. This may seem slightly
inconsquential to you , but in reality it mean s that universities in wardevastated European countries can go on operating'-'that students at
these institutions can continue their training. It also means that the
terrific lack of trained specialists—doctors , lawyers, engine ers'—can
be gradually met and vanquished.
Through the W.S.S.F. you may help your fellow students abroad ,
without regard to race , color, or creed , in five main fields : food , medical aid , books, clothing, and housing.
"Invest in tomorrow ... today " is the slogan for the W.S.S. F.
Later this mpnth you will be able to do your share when the Student Christian Association committee , in charge of Martha Rapp, will
pass out to the student body envelopes for the purpose of containing
your contribution . Start saving your pennies now for this worthy and
beneficial cause. "Invest in tomorrow ... today. " (me)

Forty Swatters Answer
Coach Redman's Call for
1949 Baseball Candidates
by Wayne Von Stetten
Approximately forty aspirants answered Coach Bob Redman's initial
call last week for candidates for the
College's 1949 baseball team. The
Huskies face a tough fourteen-game
schedule that lists tilts with Susquehanna University, Ithaca College, and
a number of Teachers College opponents.
The list of candidates, who have
been working out daily in the Benj amin Franklin School gymnasium
include veterans from last year's club
and twenty-four promising newcomers.
Back from last season 's squad are :
catcher Owen Diehle, first sacker Ed
Piestrak, short stop Bob Thomas,
third baseman John Czerniakowski,
and outfielders Paul Slobozien, Jack
Buynak , Clair Mensinger, and Henry
Marek. Two veteran pitchers are
back for another try at college ball—
Mike Evans, rangy right-hander and
Henry Brunn, a diminutive southpaw.
Among the newcomers who are
making serious bids for berths on
the 1949 club is Bill Byham, promising Freshman hurler, who throws
from the port side of the mound. Other hopeful newcomers are: Bernie
Kotula, Diek Hummel, Dick Ledyard ,
Bill Bartleson, Curtis Herb, Bernie
Hamershock, Ed Kolodgie , Charles
Getchey, Stan Levan, George Lambrinos, Don Kearns, Buddy Hartman,
Jim Hulsizer, Fra nk Gall o, Jack
Gallo, Jack Thomas, John Sheleman,
Don Butler, Hugh Elliott , Ken Borst ,
and Charles Lewis.
The Huskies open their campaign
against a powerful Second Army
team at Fort Meade on Saturday,
April 9.
The boys from the Associated
Press have issued their 1948-49 AllState Teachers College basketball
fives. Our own Charlie Boyer, that
handsome individual from over Pottsville way, was named on the second
team. This was the third consecutive
year Boyer has landed a position
among the coveted "All Staters."
Big Elm Kreiser, who played brilliantly throughout the season and displayed the most consistent brand of
ball , in our opinion , was given honorable mention. Our Huskies, by placing two men on the AP team, were
well represented in spite of a mediocre season.
We noticed with a great deal of
leasure
that Jackie McClelland , of
p
Shippensburg Teachers , snared a
berth on the first team. In the three
years we observed • the sharpshooter
from the Cumberland Valley, he has
shown us more than All-State play.
In addi tion to averagin g better th an
twent y points per game , he was a
ball of fire with the fast break and
played fine defensive ball as well.
Husk y fans who witne ssed the Red
Raiders -Huskies game at Shippens bur g thi s year are still talkin g of
Jackie McC lelland and his performance against our boys. Our hats are
off to the AP boys for making a fine
choice.
The coming of warmer weather ,
which seems to be setting in a bit
early this year, will afford Coach Bob
Redman a chance to size up his proteges who have been working out
daily in the Benj amin Franklin
School gymnasium. While indoor
practice has its advantages , it's difficult to ascertain the strength of your
pitching staff until the flingers commence chucking regulation intrasquad games upon Mt. Arctic. It is
our hope that Coach Redman can
come up with a hurler or two who
can survive the gusty gales. Incidently, speaking of outside drills brings
to our attention the importance of a
regulation batting cage at Bloomsburg. Many hours of valuable time
could be saved by purchasing such a
valuable piece of equipment.
Now that the basketball season is
completed , it is fitting that we compliment the players who worked very
iiard to make the season a successful
one despite the fact that the Huskies
failed to nabe the Teachers Crown or
finish as high as some of the more
ardent supporters predicted at the
season's start. Every one of them did
a splendid job, and with a few more
breaks thrown in their direction, the
season would have been more successful on the basis of won and lost.
Coach Fete Wisher experienced a bit
of difficulty In the early stages of the
season In his search for a winning
combination, but once found, he did
a fine job In molding a smooth combination. The second half of the cage
campaign was highly successful .
The intramural leagues have proved to be quite popular with the students, thus fulfilling the main obj ective. The purpose of intramurals
at any school is to furnish those individuals who cannot participate in

In perhaps the most exciting game
the Husky Jayvees have played this
season, the Pups came out on the
short end of an 85-69 score against
the Bucknell University Freshmen at
Lewisburg. The score is not indicative of the brand of ball that was
displayed by these two teams as the
fans who came to see the BucknellMuhlenburg game were brough t to
their feet many times in the second
half of a contest that was to see the
victors pull away only in the last few
minutes of a hard-fought contest.
Leading a rally in the closing minutes of the third quarter and at the
beginning of the last, Al DeGatis,
Jim Heller, and Lou Byham turned
in some fancy shots that delighted
the fans. The locals came within a
few points of the Bucknell club only
to have Gallagher, the Bucknell star
forward, put the home team out in
front with a comfortable margin.
Perhaps the most instrumental factor in the Pup 's spectacular showing
was the shooting of Al DeGatis from
outside the foul circle and the accurate passing of Byham who repeatedly
set up Husky scores with his wellplaced spot passes, DeGatis, Heller,

Don 't Laugh Now . . .
An organization known as "Laughs Unlimited" is now dishing out corn
by the bushels for persons who have the desire to be funny but can't Quite
make the grade on their own resources. Listed among its clients is a variety
of professional people ranging from senators to school teachers. The appearance of this latter group is good for a laugh in itself , since most of us here
plan to teach after we graduate. Traditionally, school teachers are able to
make one tried and true j oke last a lifetime, and if the profession has now
decided that the act should be revised from time to time, it will be a revolutionary change in the fiel d of education. In light of this trend toward variety,
it seems that teachers colleges could render their students a valuable service
by including a unit on effective j oke telling in the curriculum materials course.
Since the three R's are more palatable when served up with a little humor,
every teacher should keep a straw hat, a cane, and a pair of roller skates on
hand for emergency use when all other sources fail.

Now It Can Be Told . . .
The sponsors of the Obiter Show were visibly worried about whether
their idea would sell Obiters or not, so they pulled an old trick out of the
bag and planted about a dozen 'buyers' out in the audience. Fortunately, they
had no need of them once the show got rolling, for it proved itself a doublebarreled success entirely on its own merit. It not only sold 76 Obiters but
turned out to be one of the best entertainment programs of the whole year.
Th e Obi ter sales are n ow ov er the 400 ma rk , which is more than a hundred
over the number the staff had originally expected to sell. It might not be a
bad idea if a show of this type were to be made an annual affair. It would go
a long way toward maintaining student interest in student activities.

Verily, Verily . . .
Any of you local lads who have been quarreling with your .female of late
might pay particular heed to an observation made by an eminent psychiatrist. This chap claims that the whole secret of getting along with the fair
sex lies in recognizing the fact that they are extremists by nature. What he
means is that women are always either very happy or very sad, or very something or the other. They are never able to strike a happy medium in their
outlook on life—things must necessarily be very wonderful or very terrible.
They have even developed a special language of superlatives. A dress or a
hat is either utterly delightful or perfectly stupid. In fact, the dress or the
hat may be anything at all j ust as long as it is very much so. This extremist
tendancy can also be seen in the ever-changing trends in women's fashions.
Hemlines are up and down more times in the space of a year than the window
blinds in an old maid's apartment. So, young fellow, if you're going to get
along with the women, you'll have to take them for what they are—dyed-inthe-wool extremists.

The explanation of the campus time system came as a blessing. Actually, there are five different 'times' available at any given moment—three on
the campus, one on the court house clock down town, and the correct time.
The college could take advantage of this publicity angle and advertise itself
as a place where time comes in five delicious flavors . . . Sorrowed banter:
