Bloomsburg will celebrate its twenty-second Annual Homecoming today
when hundreds of alumni and friends
are expected to return to the campus
for a day of colorful activities.
The traditional Homecoming Assembly will take place in Carver
Auditorium at ten o'clock. Following
a short opening address by the President, and music by the Maroon and
Gold Band , an all-college talent show
will be presented, with Charles Edwards as emcee. Leading off in the
show will be the Campus 4, a very
capable singing group consisting of
Charles Edwards, Dick Wagner, Emory Rarig, and Jack Wintersteen.
Miss Elizabeth Reese will follow with
a vocal solo; and Charles Edwards
will sing "Look for the Silver Lining," a favorite of the 1930's, and
"Maybe It's Because," a tune eurrent
among the top - runners of today's
popular music. Next on the program,
Lila Savage will present a comedy
monologue entitled "Movie Mother."
Winding up the entertainment will
be the talented piano-duo of Dick
Wagner and Emory Rarig.
Alumni and guests will be served

Huskies will meet the powerful Red

Souvenir Chinaware
Will Be Available to
Students and Alumni
Alumni and students will be greeted by a display of Wedgewood .
Queensware porcelain outside Waller
Hall Lounge during Homecoming activities.
A long awaited order of handmade,
engraved Queensware has arrived
from England and is being sold to
faculty, alumni, and students. This
project is being sponsored by Kappa
Delta Pi.
Josiah Wedgewood gave this chinaware its name over one hundred
years ago. After presenting Queen
Charlotte with a set of porcelain,
Josiah, the Queen's potter, told her
that no one would ever have a set
like it. The queen protested, saying
that such lovely china should be
made available to any who desired it,
and the formula was not destroyed.
The styles ordered by Kappa Delta
Pi are Patrician , with a sculptured
border for which Wedgewood is famous; and Trent, which has the familiar flowered border. The colors are
blue and maroon. An engraving of
Carver Hall appears in the center of
each plate. Priced at $2.50 each,
these plates make welcomed gifts
and souvenirs of B.S.T.C.

Tomorrow: What Then . . . ?

What does the future hold for the college graduate? This is a
question being asked of present-day leaders in industry and education
by students enrolled in higher educational institutions.
There are approximately 24 ,000 ,000 students matriculating "in the
universities , colleges , professional and normal schools in the United
States at the present time.
During the scholastic year of 1949-1950 , 368,000 degrees will be
conferred upon graduating students; of this number , 35,000 will be in
education.
In dustry has caught up with the wartime shortage of college trained workers and is exercising more discretion in its hiring of personnel.
In the next decade , nearly a million teachers will have to b e
trained to satisfy the demands of the schools in this country?^ The
el ementary sch ools are at present evi d en cing great ly en large d sch ool
enro ll ments cause d by hig h war-time and post-war birth rates. In
Pennsylvania alone there are vacancies for some 1580 elementary
school instructors , with only 569 applicants , not all of whom are firstrate teac h ers , or even licensed.
The high schools thoug h , will have to contend with falling enrollments for the nex t three or four years because of the low birth rate of
the middle Thirties. But , from 1952 to 1962 high school enrollments
are expected to rise at least 35 per cent over present enrollments.
The demand for instructors in elementary and secondary education ,
of course, will vary f rom one state to anot h er , an d even prob ably f rom
city to city. It is up to the individual to ascertain just where his talents
can b e most a dvantageousl y utilized so as to alleviate the situation ,
an d at the same time provide himself with a means of livelihood.
As can be seen from the facts and figures above , competition wi ll
be keen in many fields and great sacrifices will have to be made by
many in adjusting themselves to current conditions; but , we as prospective teachers must remember that we will have the privilege of
participating in one of the noblest programs in this country—molding
the character of future generations so as to make them better and
more useful citizens in the world of tomorrow, (wgj )

Eastern Penna. College
Theatre'Radio Confab
Held Here Last Week

The second annual convention of
the Eastern Pennsylvania College
Theatre and Radio Conference was
held on campus last weekend , October 15 and 16. The colleges represented included Lycoming, Lafayette,
Moravian for Men , Lehigh , Alb righ t,
Kings, Wilkos, Cedar Crest , Marywood, and Bloomsburg.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday
morning were occupied with the
adoption of the constitution .
The proposed constitution was discussed in detail , amended , and adopted unanimously, Other plans, designed to establish closer unity among
the member-colleges, were discussed.
One of these, already in operation , is
the plan of exchanging scripts , via
the script library, now located at
Albright College. Another possibility
now under consideration is the establishment of a Summer Theatre. Richard Getz , of Lafayette, conducted a
personal investigation of this situation last summer, and made a report
of the investigation. Though this idea
is still in the nucleus-form , students
are already showing much interest in
it.
Robert Sickingor served as temporary chairman of the conference
until a newly-olected chairman , Richard Getz, of Lafayette , assumed the
duties of that office.
A tea-dance was held in the afternoon, following a short musical entertainment presented by B.S.T.C.talent, under the co-direction of Max
Kaplan and Calvin Kanyuck. It included several numbers by the Campus Four, composed of Richard Wagner , Charles Edwards, Emory Rarlg,
and Jack Wlnterstein.

For the early morning, a woolj ersey outfit in those new soft shades

fashion leaders are emphasizing red

For the Homecoming football game
a tweed suit of brown will look

Flunk insurance is one of the latest wrinkles to put in its appearance
in this collegiate world. Several colleges now have student-sponsored insurance companies which offer a top payment of one dollar for any course
flunked by an insured student. Premium rates are computed on the basis of
a 'sch olastic morta li t y ta bl e' plus other considerations such as quartile
standing and previous courses flunked. Under the plan you have blanket
coverage at a special rate, or you may insure merely such perennial mortality boosters as psych, and lit. But it seems that a five-spot from the
Campus Casualty Company would be meager consolation in tho face of five
big, fat E's. However, if you lived within a two-hundred mile radius of good
old; Waterloo U.,; your insurance would probably spare you the embarrassment of writing home for bus fare. Perhaps that's the idea behind the whole
scheme.

The S.P.N.B. Speaks up . . .

A new Do gh ouse dep artment , the Society for the Prevention of Neglect
to Br ownettes, has been hastily organized to champion the cause of this most

unjustly neglected segment of the female population. Fraternities and other
irresponsible campus groups are forever lifting hymns of praise to the respective charms of blondes and brunettes, but nary a word is to be heard
about all our brown-haired lassies, and this rates a low growl from the
Doghouse. An able and characteristically erudite group of fraternity brothers at an eastern college recently engaged themselves in a scholarly discussion on the respective merits of blondes and brunettes. They finally gave
the raven-tressed lassies the nod because "t h ey are more aff ect ionate , more
tact f u l, and less expensive on dates." Per h aps so, but if you want all this
an d h eaven t oo, get yourself a brownette. Besides, they are without equal
when it comes to real down-to-earth understanding.

Each semester it becomes increasingly more difficult to qualify as a
campus character. Time was when a predilection for black shoe-string ties
would have been enough to earn one his immortality in the college yearbook,
but today such an eccentricity would be considered entirely within the realm
of the standard deviation. One is doomed to mere medioex'ity, i t seems,
unless his trunk of stage properties includes such a variety of items as
cowboy boots, faded dungarees, officer's shirts with epaulets, bow ties which
light up in the dark, bow ties which ought to be worn only in the dark , a
battered felt hat , a brief case patched up with surgical tape, a mustache—
eit h er permanent or d etach abl e, a trench coat of the 'Farewell to Arms'
variet y , a pair of shell-rimmed glasses, and , finally, a black Chesterfield coat
for wear during dart games in chilly taprooms. But don 't get discouraged
if your limited budget won't permit such sartorial refinements. Perhaps
some neighbor at home could lend you a Tyrolean peasant's costume which
could be converted into a snappy outfit with the aid of your shepherd's plaid
sportcoat. But the big difficulty at present seems to lie in being able to
distinguish between well-dressed upper classmen and freshmen doing customs penalties.

decided tj reveal their musical talent. At n ight the maestros assemble,
with pitch pipes in hand , an d sen d
