Casting Office Scene
Provides Medium for
Student Stage Art

"Frosh Time," the cast made up of
members of the Class of '53, was a
decided success in its premiere performance on the stage of Carver Hall
Auditorium on the morning of Thursday, November 3. Produced and direc ted by Charles Edwards, who has
been responsible for the recent series
of outstanding student talent shows,
the program included a Variety of
musical artists.
Dave Newberry, who aided Edwards in the staging of the production , acted as master of ceremonies
in a scene that was set in the office
of the casting director a few days
prior to the date set for the opening
of the show. The curtains parted as
Dave sat tearing his hair and wondering where he could find some
talent to participate. Coming to his
aid were the performers who had
been "notified" of hi s predi cam en t
and who desired to "try out" for a
spot in the performance.
Mary Lou Todd received tumultous
applause from an appreciative audien ce for h er excellent r endition of
the vocal solo, "Felice." Her accompanist was Mary Joan Williams.
Appearing next on the scene was
Francis Stanitski, whose accordion
selections, "Sharpshooters' M ar ch"
and "Helen a Polka ," were well received.
With no other talent arriving for a
few moments, "emcee" Newberry
seized upon the opportunity to offer
a few select remarks. His humorous
anecdotes were accorded appropriate
laughter and applause.
Next to enter and offer their services were Ben Linn, vocalist, and
Barbara Gulich, his accompanist. Ben
sang "Through the Years" for the
approval of 'Dave and the audience.
With no further action apparent ,
Mary Joan Williams came forward,
from her position with the rest of the
cast at the rear of the stage, to
ivory-ize the pleasing and familiar
"Clair de lune," by Debussy.
Last of the soloists to appear was
Mary Grace Aimers, who added to
the growing list of artistic talent as
she sang "My Hero." Her accompanist was Barbara Gulich.
As Newberry was about to close
places in his casting, a new campus
musical group made its initial appearance on stage. The "Campus
Kings," under the direction of Henry
Marini, provided novel combo arrangements of several "pop" tunes
and the members also presented a
number of impersonations of immortals of modern music. With Marini
acting as "lead man " on the alto sax,

and have initiated some of that

forgotten college spirit , the like of
which should be seen more of

Frankl y Speakin g . . .
It seems monotonous and a trifle
revolting to keep on preaching
honesty to 800 college students—
especia ll y coll ege stu d ents w h o
are training themselves to teach
American children . It shouldn 't be
necessary if only for professional
ethical reasons; but saying that
colds should be outlawed doesn 't
reduce the sale of Kleenex. We
have cheating on this campus —
not on ly the "coop erative " helpfulness between Joe and Sally
who sit next to each other in History class, but the more serious
"test-thievery. " Since the C.G.A.
Assembl y, conditions seem to have
improved. We need not rehash
t he gory details , or present any
arguments pro and con as to the
reasons for cheating. We don 't
have to delve into psychology or
or gaze with horror upsociology
*
on the ' evident " decay of modern
educational philosophy. Let 's use
some strai ght c o m m o n sense.
Cheating is wrong. It cannot be
rig htfull y justified by any weakkneed excuses such as "everybody
does it, " or "we 're forced to do
it. " You are never forced to do
wrong. You have the choice.
Cheating is common ordinary
stealing and it 's no use labelling it
otherwise. You are a thief , if you
steal answers or tests. Let 's not
kid ourselves or salve our consciences by a bandwagon excuse
that cheating is in vogue. Rather ,
let 's call a spade a spade. In the
end, you alone must suffer the
consequences *— if you can 't be

you afford it? (jk)

Armistic e Day
1949
At 11 a.m. on the eleventh day
of the eleventh month in 1918,
hostilities of the First World War
had ended. Over 10 million people
had been killed on the battlefield ,
and 20 million more perished as a
result of the struggle. But now
the four years of fighting were
over! Dizzy with excitement ,
throngs of people rushed into the
st reet s, screaming and cheering
wildly.
On the first anniversary of the
Armistice the next year, the world
was suffering the bitter pangs and
anguish of reconstruction. Problems that had been created so
quickly by the Great War would
take years and years to solve.
In 1921, America brought from
France an American soldier whose
grave was* marked Unknown and
buried him at Arlington cemetery
with elaborate ceremonies. In the
same year Armistice Day was officially declared a holiday by an
Act of Congress. Since then the
Unknown Soldier has been our
symbol for all those who sacrificed
their lives for their country in the
First World War. In honoring him
we honor every brave American
soldier . . . those who died and
those who lived to rehabilita te a
world of ruin.
On this Armistice Day in 1949
let us call to mind the terrible
dreadfulness that war brings. Let
us see the great beauty and happiness that characterizes genuine
Peace, and pledge that wo will
strive always for a world of mutual concord , a world of p erfect
harmony.—Marie Mattis

The Unmentionable
Don't speak to me of love;

I've heard enough !

Just say you like the sparkle
In my eyes, the color in my cheek ,
My smile, the way I talk;
Just say you like to walk
With m e an d hold my hand,
And isn 't it grand the way
We laugh together and like
To do the things we like to do?
Tell me that you like my company,
That you enj oy dancing with me,
Tha t you like being with me,
And tell me that when I am near
You 're n ever lon ely, only
Whatever you say, heaven 's abo v e,
Don 't , oh pl ease , don 't speak to me of
love.
—M. K.

BELIEVE IT
OR NOT

(Beli eve it or not, these are some
logical conclusions which can be
drawn from recommendations made
by the Ethics classes about ways to
prevent cheating at B.S.T.C. Some
"slight" verbal embroidering has been
done.)
1. PARENTS should not push students to get good grades.
2. B. S. T. C. STANDARDS should
be lowered so that students will not
have to cheat in order to graduate.
3. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
Bright students should not be enrolled because they make the competition too keen .
G.I.'g should not be enrolled be^
cause they make competition too
keen for the recent high school graduates.
Recent high school graduates should
not be enrolled because they make
competition too keen for the G.I.'s.
4. FACULTY TEACHING METHODS. Courses should be planned so
that no student will find them too
difficult. If the ground isn't covered,
th at doesn 't mat ter.
Everything should be explained so
that all can understand whether they
have studied or not.
The f aculty should not use any
words which students do not understand.
The course should be made so interesting at all times that students
will want to be honest.
Instructors should stick to the
book and never get off the subj ect.
The faculty should cut down the
amount of subj ect matter to be
taugh t so as to allow time for pre Frosh Talent Show
venting cheating.

Aiding the group with both rhythm

and melody was Francis Stapinski
and his accordion. Selections played Just loving ? • ?
by the boys included "Talk of the
Town," "Stella By Starligh t," "Temptation ," and their theme, "Lullaby in
Rhythm." The impersonations were
of Frank Sinatra , a "be-bop " artist ,
and Tommy Dorsey. Much laughter
and applause were brough t forth in
response *to the contributions of the
"Kings."
During the playing of the group
theme song, the "emcee" added a
few closing comments and presented
the cast as a group for a final round
of applause from the audience.

College Trustee
Rot ar y Governor

( Continued from page 1)
and Past Vice President of the Danville Club.
With the continued growth of Rotary in all parts of the world , membership in Rotary International is
now at an all-time high , w ith 330,000
business and professional executives
active in 7,000 Rotary clubs in 82
countries and geographical regions'.
One of Rot ary 's principal obj ectives is the promotion of international
understanding, good will and peace.
Rotary Clubs around the world are
making many contributions toward
the achievement of this goal, one of
the most far-reaching being the program of Rotary Foundation Fellowships, which enable outstanding graduate students to study abroad. Since
this program was inaugurated in
1947, Fellowships have been awarded
to all young men and women from 26
cou ntri es of Eu rope , Asia, Af rica , and
North , South and Central America.
Grants for the one-year Fellowships
range from $1,800 t o $3,400. These
Rotary Fellows have proved themselves to be unusually effective ambassadors of good will both in the
countries in which they have studied
and in their own countries following
their year of study.
A test should be made for each
individual. Under no circumstances
should a test ever be repeated.
The faculty themselves should type
or mimeograph all tests. They should
burn stencils and waste paper in the
college test incinerator. A safe deposi t vault should be provided for
tests and an armed bodyguard provided for f aculty members.
The auditorium, the Centennial
gym, or the athletic field should be
used so that the students can be
seated far enough apart.
Students should be searched as
they go in and out of the place where
the test is being given.
A squad of faculty should patrol
each test.
(Wo uldn't it be much simpler to
eliminate tests?)
The elimination of out - of - class
work would also help to prevent
cheating.
Then since there would not be
much basis for grading, grades could
be eliminated.
6. FACULTY. Sin ce the faculty
must be super-sleuths, they should be
hired on the basis of ability to outwit
students.
(Wo uldn 't it be much simpler to
hire college police or private detectives and let the faculty teach?)
Perhaps the best solution to the
whole problem would be too eliminate B.S.T.C. That might be a good
idea if we are graduating future
teachers who see* nothing wrong in
dishonesty.

S.C.A, Thanks giving
Athenaeum Club Meets Program Schedu led

An Interesting program of recordings of the works of Franz Liszt was
enj oyed by the members of the Athenaeum Club on Thursday, November
3. Betty Ann Walters was in charge
of the program. In the absence of
the president and vice-president , the
treasurer , Clarence Meis , conducted
the business meeting.

The Student Christian Association
will present a special Thanksgiving
Program at their regular meeting,
Wednesday, November 16.
The meeting will be held In the
social rooms of Science Hall at seven
P.M.
There will be special music, as well
as readings and singing, Present will
be a special speaker , Reverend Lundy
"I'm living alone with my thoughts, " of the Evangelical United Brethren
Church of Bloomsburg.
"Must be a pretty empty life."

™»Reports
The class budget has been submitted for administrational approval,
and it should be ready for release in
the near future. If the present budget
meets with both administrational and
class approval, class dues will be lower than they have been at any time
in recent years. The January dues
will , as was previously announced , be
slightly higher th an the May dues,
This is due to the fact that the January graduation expense is being shared by fewer class members.
The plan to have the class picture
taken in January has been temporarily suspended and will be submitted
to the class for reconsideration at a
future meeting. A group picture of
the entire class in January would
cost an additional $428.40 for gown
rental and cleaning costs, and thi s
would result in approximately $1.80
increase in class dues for both
groups. The only apparent solution
is to have the pictures taken separately , which has been the customary
procedure in past years.
The Graduate Announcement Commit tee will probably begin to take
orders for announcements and name
cards for January graduates within
the next week. The committee is
under the chairmanship of Isabel Bolinsky, and any additional information concerning the announcements
may be obtained from her.
The dates for the ball and the commencement exercises will be announced within the coming week. Every
effort will be made to secure the
dates voted for by the January graduates. However, there is a possibility
that these dates may have to be
changed in order to integrate Senior
Week activities into the college calendar.

Personal appearances characterizes
the woman. College women take
heed ! Your personality is primarily
determined by your presentation to
others. Those extra minutes you
spend each day in careful grooming
may mean that part time j ob you 'd
like or perhaps create an impression
on that certain someone. Certainly
no girl is too busy to have personal
pride in her appearance. Neatness
and cleanliness can take you a long
way. Give yourself that last minute ;
check before you start for your next
class or date.

What brave fashion-wise lassie will I
be the first to take up the Doghouse
on this fad ? If these ID's will add to
the college women's date books may j
we suggest that the college men car- (
ry miniature bank books (with ac- |

A new trend in fashion wear is \
"Optical Illusion." If you 're either j
the too-tall or too-short type, optical j
illusion will help solve your problems.
'Dresses are now being designed with
stripes, tucks, pleats, and pockets
placed in strategic positions so that
they will make the tall girl appear |
shorter and the short girl taller.
"Optical Illusion" can also make you
gain or lose whichever your case may

next time you buy that new dress.
You'll be surprised what "Illusion " |

SPORTS
by Chris Klinedlnst

Perhaps we could be considered as
members of the Frank Leahy School
of Pessimists, but are consoled by the
observation that many football fans
and enthusiasts are in the same
school. To us, each game is the big
I one , and the season 's schedule is tak|en game by game, with the crying
I towel being brought out every week.
Sure, we didn 't look for that Wilkes
\ upset earlier this year, but it turn s
out that just when you don 't expect
; it , you get the axe in the form of an
I upset. The same thing happened two
i years ago when Shippensburg spoiled
our Homecoming and won out over
the highly favored Huskies.

i

Our policy is to prepar e for the
worst and play your harde st, k eeping
away from over-confidence. Pr actically every game since the Wilkes
College tilt has been the "toughest"
in our estimation. Mansfi eld was respected and feared , but prov ed easy;
Lock Haven wasn 't expected to have
much but was not to be taken lightl y,
so in order to win, we thought we'd
real ly have to be "up" for the contest. It turned out that the game was
tough and wasn 't decided until the
last minute of play. Millersville we
thou ght would be hard to get by, but
a good perfor ma n ce and an humbl e
attitude brought a decisive win.
Kutztown turned out to be a repetition of the Millersville fracas , and
nobod y conceded Bloomsburg the victor y until the final whist le. The
Kings and Lycoming tilts were taken
more on the light side, but no chances were taken and the coaches , players and B.S.T.C. followers looked for
the opponents to play their best to
upset the victorious Hus kies.

The point of all this discussion is
that we believe it to be a better
policy to "point" for the coming
game and to look for the worst, not
to the point of pessimism , but merely
keeping away from over-confidence,
i That is why we should be careful of
tomorrow's clash with East Stroudsburg at Athletic Park. Stroud has
lost to West Chester and Rider, but
cannot be taken as a pushover. In
order for us to take this contest the
Bloomsburg football population , players and fans both , are going to have
to be "up" for the tilt, as Stroud will
do their best to burst our bubble. In
our estimation this will be the toughest game of the season , as will Notre
Dame's clash with North Carolina be
their hardest, according to the crying
coach, Frank Leahy.
The Huskies are out for the
eighth straight and the mythical
State Teachers title , so it looks like a
terrific game in the offing.

Prediction Corner ? ? ?
Hit a rut last week and ended up
with 20 right, 6 wrong and 2 ties.
Excluding ties this gives us a .769
average, respectable, but not outstanding. The season's average stands
at .804.

To Scoreless Tie
The Husky soccer squad kept their
record intact at the .500 mark by
holding strong Indiana State Teachers College to a scoreless tie last
week at the Western Pennsylvania
school.
The contest was hard and well
played, but both clubs lacked the
ability to take advantage of the few
scoring opportunities. Substitutions
were few: Indiana used only four
subs and Bloomsburg sent in one.
The contest marked the first tie of
the year for the Shelly- coached aggregation and t'he third straight shutout posted against the booters. The

losses, and one tie.

The Huskies were undefeated going

Vox Populi . . .
The gripe sheets \yhich appear on the college lounge bulletin board from
time to time have jus t about become a campus institution. The latest edition
ran the gamut from requests for Coke machines in the dormitories to suggestions that certain persons ought to do a "double d.d., " namely, drop dead
twice. The freshman girls complained that they are teased too much ; the
girl s in general wanted a new group of boys, preferably boys with senses of
humor; the boys in general wanted a new group of girls; some requested
classes on "How to Jitterbug ;" others requested better faucets on the dining
hall water coolers ; and , as might be expected or suspected , a fair share of
the grip es were not suitable exactly for publication. But the big question is
how the girls concluded that the boys were lacking in sense of humor. This
complaint probably originated among the freshman girls who claim they are
being teased too much. What do they expect us to do in the line of being
humorous — chew bubble-gum and ride bicycles through the corridors ?

Of Automobiles and Other Things . . .
A new member has been added to the 'r elic row ' section of the North
Hall parking lot, and this one really dates back to the days when Pa was
courting Ma. It's hard to tell who owns it at the present time, since the
title has changed hands more times than a pair of dice on payday night.
However , as we go to press, the owner of this ancient and venerable vehicle
is Russ Looker, and Russ has expressed his intention of keeping it at least
until he learns how to drive the goldarn thing. Some of us thought at first
that the Pilgrims had brought it along over on the Mayflower, and we
figured it would be sort of nice to have it around to look at on Thanksgiving
Day. But Russ tells us that it is an authentic Model-T Ford of 1923 vintage.
Right now he has enough requests for rides to keep him busy for the greater
part of the winter. At any rate, the boys up on 'antique alley ' have given
him the honorary title of campus capitalist because he 's the only local lad
with enough legal tender to keep a brace of buggies on the parking lot.

The Grapefruit: Friend or Foe . . . ?

*

It is surprising that more has not been written about the grapefruit.
Perhaps it is because we are over-sensitive about the subj ect since the
grapefruit is one of the few animals we have never been able to domesticate.
If you have never given thought to this matter, sit in the dining hall some
morning and watch your colleagues perform the ritual of baptism at the
breakfast table, as they shower themselves with geysers of vitamin C. Some
advance upon their grapefruit with caution and stealth, others rush in and
deliver their hemispherical adversary a single lightning thrust of the spoon ;
but in either case the result is the same, and the attackers reel back groping
blindly for their napkins. The faint of heart quit after one try, but the more
courageous keep trying until they run out of napkins or until their yellowcolored tormentor has spent its fury. Nevertheless, it's a poor psychological
principle to start the day off by coming out on the short end of a grapple
with a grapefruit. Someone could render humanity a great service by developing a variety of this fruit which would submit itself more readily to the
yoke of domestication.

Too Late to Classify . . .
Put a circle around November 17 on your calendar, for tnat will be the

offi ci al Sadie Hawkin s' Day this year. We had a nice Sadie Hawkins prevue

last Friday 'night when a certain well known lassie spent ten or fifteen
minutes chasing a certain well-known laddie around the college lounge.
Seems that the young man had let her down none too gently . . . Coach
Redman and Lou Gabriel played a well matched ping-pong game recently.
Neither one was able to bend over the table for close shots . . . The j uke
box committee will some day be arrested on a town ordinance for disturbing
the peace. Coming over Monday mornings you can tune in on the B.S.T.C.

way, don 't forget the shindig the Daymen are throwing. Bring your lassie
and spend a gala evening tripping the ligh t fantastic . . . A female subscriber
has observed that the writer of this column doesn't look like she thinks the
writer of this column ought to look. What does she expect — a black nose
and long cars ? . . . Let's make that Stroud game a date. It will be our last
chance to see that great Husky aggregation in action . . . And speaking of
games, how about the lambasting our ferocious frosh gave Lycoming in the
last quarter of last Saturday 's game . . . Those senior proofs have proved
that some of us will have to depend on more than our looks in order to make
a living . . . The 1950 Obiter will be featuring a rare collection of ears and
noses . . . But look who's talking! . . . Don't forget the Daymen 's plowboy
polka party, and by all means make Saturday's game a must on your weekend agenda. We'll be looking for you !! ;

A 66-yard drive was capped early
in the second period when Jake Lichty plunged for touchdown number
three. Later in the quarter Lichty
f umbled on the Lycoming nine, but
Bob Thurston alertly picked up the
bouncing pigskin and transported it
across the final yard marker.
Fred Denesevich intercepted a Lycoming pass and set up the fifth
score with a 40-yard runback to the
seven. Stonik scored on a reverse
three plays later. The last quarter
belonged to Wayne VonStetten 's
charges and Gino Poli plunged for
the first score of the fourth period
culmina ting a 42 - yard drive. Joe
Green threw to Charlie Brennan for
13 yards and the final score of the
day. The Lycoming fans at this point
got the only satisfaction of their
dreary day as Ed Tavalsky missed
the try for extra point. He had converted six consecutive times before
missing, bringing his season's t otal to
21 out of 30 tries.

five games. Gannon , West Chester ,
and St. Vincent are the only undefeated college teams in Pennsylvania.
St. Vincent has allowed the opposition only six points, while West Chester has permitted 27 points to their
foes.
In game standings, the Huskies
follow these three leaders with seven
victories and one defeat. Others duplicating this feat are Villanova , Clarion, California and Gettysburg.
It is interesting to note that East
Stroudsburg, with a record of five
wins against two losses, has permitted the opposition only seven TD's,
five of these by the only teams that
defeated the Big Red, West Chester
