Homecoming Day activities was the
morning assembly program held in
Carver Hall Auditorium. Familiar to
some students as a "student talent
sh ow," this performance directed by
Charles Edwards employed a new
s c h e m e for providing continui t y
throughout the forty-and-some-oddminutes of music and laughs.
The program opened with a short
speech by President Andrusjs in which
he extended a warm welcome to the
Homecoming Alumni.
Master of ceremonies was Ben
Burness, and the setting of the production was that of the home of
"Professor" Burness, about the year
1979. As "the old professor " sat leafing th rou gh a '49 Obiter, reminiscing,
the members of the cast of the 1949
Homecoming Day program returned
in one's and two 's to call upon him.
Remembering the performers' parts
in the earlier show, Professor Bu rness
asked them to repeat their numbers,
and they were quite happy to comply.
First to "return " was vocalist Elizabeth "Bebe" Reese with her accompanist, Delphine Buss. The vocal solos
"Body and Soul" and "Blue Moon "
were recalled as having been well
received by the audience many years
earlier .
Lila Savage, who entered upon the
scene between the two numbers by
the first artists, followed their presentations with a reading entitled
"Perfect 42." The monologue was
that of a middle-aged woman who
was trying on a corselet, and refusing to admit that she had increased
the size of her waistline.
Emory Rari g and Richard Wagner
were next to appear, and rinding
their music still in the piano bench,
turned in a remarkable example of
synchronization on two pianos. Their
selections included "Malaguena " and
"Pavanne."
At the close of the two-piano renditions, Ben Burness came back onto
the stage attired in an old and somewhat grown - smaller - through - the( Continued on page 2)

Don Butcof sky Made
Senior Prex y; Sop hs
Elect Tom Anthony

Two class elections held recently have named Don Butcofsky as
senior class president and Tom
Anthony as sophomore class president.
Because of an unusual development in the senior class election
last May, the office of class president was declared vacant until a
new election could be held early
in the 1949-50 term.
Tom Anthony was elected to fill
the vacancy created by the withdrawal of Richard Hollis, who was
elected sophomore class president
last year.
The new senior class president,
who has been very active in college publications for the past three
years, is at present serving on the
editorial board of the Maroon and
Gold. He is also associate editor
of the 1950 Obiter. Butcofsky 's
weekly column , "In the,Doghouse ,"
is widely read and enjoyed on the
campu s.
Anthony will be remembered for
his performance in the lead role
of "The Late George Apley." He
masqueraded as "Mr. Mystery " in
the contest held last year in connection with the Junior Prom. The
new sophomore class president is
also a Husky football manager.

'
The ignorant world can never know
The bubbling, peaceful j oy it shunned
In rude repose, where crosses stand
On soil , rich with human blood.
Far foreign fields were merely dream
Far foreign fields were merely dreams
To lads who slipped from tender arms
To bear the guns for liberty
And hapless countries troubled woe.
Bu t each fai r lad wa s soon a ma n
Who slaughtered fellow human flesh
And prayed to God—forgiveness pleas
And killed again that very hour.
They didn 't choose to march the lanes
Of mortared towns in Brittany,
Or beg for bread where wheat once
thrived
Then die in utter loneliness.
For amid their love of bursting youth
A future brigh t, as heaven's st ars ,
They fell and failed to rise again
So maggots gnawed at every bone.
But sad remains, the dead , the lands ,
Will f ade in time like Northern blast
Will fade in timo like Northern blasts.
The sun will ope the budding rose
And war will die as men once did.

Coach Bob Redman pulled his
charges through last week' s Homecoming victory over Shippensburg 's
Red Raiders to keep the slate Glean
in S.T.C. ball since the Shippers last
defeated the Huskies in 1947. Since
then th e B.S.T.C. grid teams have
won all conference tilts and lost only
one non-league clash , the 1949 Wilkes
opener. For some time, it seem ed as
if the breaks were going to permit
the supposedly weak Raiders to pull
an astounding upset. But then Husky
power came to life and erased the
chances of another Homecoming disappointment similar to that of 1947
when Shippensburg came from behind to win 19-12.
Saturda y 's ' victory brings Coach
Redman 's current record to an enviable five won and one lost. Along
with last year 's undefeated season
and 1947's six and two record , Mr.
Redman has posted an over-all record
of twent y wins against three losses—
surel y a coaching : record at this institution. Before the mentor came to
Bloomsburg, Mr. I loch handled the
team in 1946 when four victories
were annexed against three defeats
and one tie. So all-in-all , the postwar grid era at Bloomsbur g' has been
quite profita ble. That is particularly
from the player-coach angle.
Probably the subj ect is worn to a
frazzle , but from the spectator angle,
B.S.T.C. football has been a miserable flop . With the only undefeated
collegiate football club in Pennsylvania last year, you'd think there
would be enough enthusiasm and
backing to fill a few bleachers at
least. This year's team is every bit
as good as last season's, despite its
on e reversal . We 'll wager that twenty years from now, most Bloon:sburg
graduates will tell friends and children of the wonderful grid squads
back in the days when— but few of
them will be able to say when they
saw all the home games during one
season and cheered for the boys.
Perhaps the best student crowd
was present at the Homecomin g
game last Saturda y, yet the JV
squad received more encoura gement
two days before in Wilkes junior varsity clash. The varsit y deserves more
suppor t than they have received.
They aren 't puttin g records in the
book ; th ey 're playing football for
B.S.T.C.—the stud ents , in particular .
But yet we go home for the weekend ,
read abou t the game the next week ,
and say, "Great team!" Sure, it' s a
great tea m, so let's all watch 'em
on November 12 as they pit their
strength against East Stroud sbur g in
th e season 's finale.
Incidentally, t h a t Jayvee squad
gave promise of feeding the varsity
some really terrific material in the
near future. Pat Bredbenner, Berwick hefty, played an especially fine
game, and did the kicking off in the
varsity fray. Green , I-Iammershock,
and Brennan are a trio of fast developing gridders. Partial revenge was
gained in that contest as Wilkes
went down to an 18 to 6 tally.
t SPORT SHORTS . . . Caught in
the act — Dr. Sattcrfleld square-dancing in gym class . . . Basketball
candidates have boon working- out at
Informal sessions for the past few
weeks . . . Ron DiAngelo wanted a
field goal attempt in the fourth quarter of the Shippers game, with the
score 13-7 and the ball mldfleld. lie
was quite satisfied , as wore scores oi'
other Bloomsburg fans , when Ed
Tavalsky kicked his game - winning
extra point to break a 13-18 tie . . .
Stove Kriss, as usual, played an outstanding game, as did all the other
Huskies . . . Kutztovvn this week —
let's bend those Dutchmen Into pretzels and make It six in a row —
whnddaya say, fellas!
He: "If you'll give mo your phone
number, I'll call you up sometime."
She: "It's in the phone book,"
He: "Fine! What is your name?"
She : "That' s In the phone book
too."

Winners of five straight , th e BSTC
Huskies take on the highest scoring
collegiate football team in the state
tomorrow afternoon when they tackle Kut z town 's Golden A valanche a t
the Berks County school.
The Golden Avalanche has rolled
to four victories and one tie to remain undefeated in college competition this season. Off to a slow star *,
Kutztown was tied by Shippensburg
6-6, then decisively trounced Cheyney State and New Britain Teachers,
squeezed through to a 12-6 win over
Ma n sfield , and c r u s h e d Trenton
Teachers last week 58-0.
The Huskies will attempt to hold
Larry Motkowski and Don David ,
Kut z town 's outstanding runners, to a
bar e minimum of yardage. David, a
freshm a n , is th e only starter Who is
not left from last year 's first string.
Pete DeQuin ca , standout guard , he a ds
a rugged veteran line. Billy Wolfe
q uarterbacks the hi ghly efficient
Kutztown T-formation.

Player of th e Week ? ? ?

Ed Tavalsky, by virtue of his outstanding ' play i n the Shipper^::urg
contest last Saturday, and his fourth
period extra point which broke a 1313 d ea dlo ck , has been voted Husky
Gridder of The Week. The Johnstown
j unior played a vital defensive role
at his end post and :onverted after
both touchdowns to provide the margin of victory. Also outstanding in
the Homecoming Day thriller was
St eve Kriss , whose pass-catching and
crafty running helped the Husky
cause no tiny r:ite. Steve's passinterception in the second period set
up the first Husky TD. Later , making
a brilli ant catch of an equally brilliant pass by George Lambrinos, Kriss
assur ed .the second B.S.T.C. score.

Soccermen Suffer Second Defeat in
Clash with Strong West Chester Squad

Bloomsburg, sixth in the state
scoring, will have no easy time at the
undefeated school's home field to morrow. Relying on a crushing ground
attack , together with a recentlysuccessf ul passing attack , the Huskies will attemp to upset the Golden
Avalanche 's victory-cart and make it
six straigh t wins.

" Power-Laden Rams 'Hand
Huskies 4 to 0 Set-Back

Coach H arold Shelly 's soccer team

dropped its second . straight decision
last week to a strong West Chester
at the down river school. The locals
cou ldn 't penetrate the Rams' defense
for even a lone goal, while the homesters pushed through four big goals.
West Chest er , always a power on the
soccer field , simply had too much
stuff for the Husky booters to cope
with, although the contest was hard
fought.
The B.S.T.C. soccer record now
stands at three wins and two defeats,
with the other loss inflicted by the
Lock Haven Bald Eagles. The West
Chester defeat was the first shutout
posted this year against the locals.
Wins were recorded against Wilkes ,
Lincoln and Elizabethtown.

Homecoming Echoes . . .
The 22nd annual Husky Homecoming is now a page in the scrapbook . .
. . But Homecoming games like that last one could lead to a nervous breakdown . . . That Tavalsky toe was sure worth its weight in Uranium , and it
was just as explosive . . . The Huskies didn 't roll up a big score, bu t they
did do wonders with Coach Bob Redman's blood pressure . . . The 'Red
Radars' had trouble with the Husky Air Force, be t ter known as t he 'Lambrino 's Lift' . . . The saddest sight of the whole day was that of the early
birds who were driven from their fifty-yard line seats by that pre-game
deluge . . . The most collegiate sight of the day was our plaid-clad Dr.
Englehart , who looked as if he had just stepped out of the college fashion
section of Esquire . . . The disappointment of the day centered itself around
the Doghouse, which missed out*on its annual excursion through the girl's
dorm . . . Many of last year 's grads and Penn Staters got back for a visit
. . . There was a capacity turnout for the Homecoming Dance. It was
probably the biggest crowd at any dance in recent years . . . And anybody
who stayed on the floor all evening deserves a varsity letter . . . The person
or persons who dreamed up those dining hall slogans may take over this
column any time . . . From the morning assembly to the last dance of the
evening, it was a great day no matter how you look at it!

Friendly Football at the Friendly College . . . ?
Part of the spiri t of our Homecoming game was marred by the cavalier
treatment fans gave the Shippensburg bench and cheer leaders. Fortunately,
however, the greater part of the heckling was done by off-campus fans, and
this example of poor sportsmanship is not a direct reflection upon the students of B.S.T.C. But the fact remains: the 'Shippers ' were our guests, and
w as guests they were entitled to every courtesy and consideration we could
give them. This type of reaction on the p art of spectators would have been
entirely in keeping with the spiri t of the occasion in a Roman arena, but it
was strangely out of place at a college homecoming. Perhaps football would
be more to the liking of some fans if the defeated team were fed to the lions.
All of which brings up an interesting question : Which is more important—
winning the game or winning the respect ofi» your opponents ?

Let 's Give the Bloomsburg- Beauties a Break . . .

Here we are with gorgeous gals galore — you fall over them in the
corridors — and we haven't had a good old fashioned beauty contest in
years. No wonder school marms look frustrated ; they get that way in college. The Doghouse will have to organize a department for .the prevention
of neglect to lovely lassies. We do manage to reap a sizable annual harvest
of queens, but what we really need is a contest that will net us a real cover
girl in true college tradition. If this plea falls on deaf ears, perhaps we can
dig up a Miss Doghouse of 1950. It's not a very dignified title, but it would
be a start in the right direction.

Assorted Remnants . . .
Operation 'S-c-r-a-m': Marjory Smith and Joyce Sluyter showed valor
above and beyond the call of duty a few nights ago when they gave a late
male intruder the heave-ho from the women's dorm. Seems that a college
guest entered the wrong fir e tower . . . The appearance of the 'dinks' again
is due to the f act that several seniors decided to do penance for their scholastic sins . . . There are three shopping days remaining in which to ,?e t your
mattress pad and pillow cover. These are no longer optional accessories . . .
That was an interesting "Witch Program" last Monday night. It was all a
matter of "whi ch" exit you took when you got the chance to take a powder
. . . If you can't get a j ob teaching, you can always get on as an assembly
ent ertainer. All you need is a trained termite act, or you could lecture on
some timely subje ct-such as the brick industry of Lower Silesia . . . Romeo
Danni has qualified as North Hall's leading bathroom baritone . . . But you
haven 't heard anything until you hear Paul Slobozien saw out a solo on his
violin . . . until we meet again , here's bushels of barks for happy Halloweening ! ! !

Folklorist Entertains
In Assembly

(Continued from page 1)
During his career as a folklorist ,
Mr. Chase has been recreation consultant in nine different states, and
has been frequently called upon to
direct regional folk festivals and
celebrations. For three years, Folklorist Chase was located at the University of North Carolina where he
was a member of the Institute of
Folk Music department. Since 1936
he has been a teacher of American
folk songs and dances as Virginia's
representative of the Country Dance
Society.
Mr. Chase began his lecture tour in
1940, and his travels have carried him
to all corners of the country. His
most recent project was a folk art
workshop for teachers, church workers, and recreation specialists, which
was held at Madison College, Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Mr. Chase's literary productions
include an original Negro folk play
which was produced in Cleveland in
1934, and two books on folk tale collections. They are : "The Jack Tales,"
and "Hullabaloo."

would be an an effective (although
plagiarized) title for a story concerning B.S.T.C. on the night of Thursday, October 20. On this eventful
night the electricity failed and the
men and women dorm residents were
left in the dark. A few students with
tests scheduled for Friday brough t
out their flashlights or resorted to
Bra ille , while others went to sleep
after a silent prayer for an essay lest
that might be passed by "snowing"
th e p rof with a wealth of i n n a te
knowledge.
USING HIS HEAD. When Joe
Gieda looked in his mirror recently,
he noticed that his head had become
p artially destitute of its natural covering. Since Joe was too modest to
reveal the reason for this loss of hair,
Joe Vincent has been the obliging
divulger of the information. Mr. Vincent says that Joe is a member of
the soccer squad and he, literally,
uses his head. Now that's what you
call real school spirit!
SORRY , WRONG ROOM. During
the recent "open house," three coeds
visited North Hall. With the natural
feminine criticism, they surveyed the
masculine quarters. At the end of
one corridor the girls looked into a
room and exclaimed in unison , "Isn 't
this nice?" But suddenly they gazed
at one another bewildered. In the
middle of the room was a play pen.
It was Mrs. Hoch's appearance that
finally made the young ladies realize
that the Hoeh family resideg in the
North Hall dorm.
THE NAIL'S END. Had you noticed the odd way in which Muriel
Marks used to hold her fork ? It
w asn 't because Muriel never read
Emily Post; it was just that she was
taking special care not to break a
certain fingernail which she had taken so long to grow. In spite of all
precautions, the prize nail was severed last week in typing class. But
cheer up, Muriel. You 've only broken
your nail. Peggy Dorsavage almost
broke her finger!
MUSIC HATH CHARM. But in
this case it may be said that the
musician, also, hath charm. Attractive and talented Terry Cierlitsky
has resumed her soirees at which she
entertains the Waller Hall girls with
the accordion.
