Report on Book Mart
Shows Lack of Interest
On Part of Students
The used book store has given a
report on the Used Book Mart which
should be of much interest to all
students. The Student body asked for
thi s book store and their request was
granted most graciously by the College Council and supported by the
College. Mr. Gehrig was faculty
sponsor of the Mart.
The fact remains that the Book
Mart went into debt this year. It
was only a trial plan and may be
used again for future semesters but
this was to depend on the outcome

Most of you will remember the unusual and attractive "Godd ess of th e

"howdy " to all of the new students
registering this semester who are
interested in j oining the organization. The members of the musical
group, including the twirlers and the
color guard, met in the auditorium of
Navy Hall to a setting of music and
colored lights. All those attending
enj oyed the music for dancing provided by the Hank Marini Combo and
the refreshments prepared by the
committee. Pictures of the group
taken for the 1950 Obiter were displayed by President of the Band,
Richard Schwartz , who announced
that the pictures were available for
sale to anyone who wished to order
them.
Band activities now are limited to
preparation of concert numbers for
the spring season. This does not bring
the group before the student body
but the auditorium of Navy Hall still
rings with melodious soundings every
Monday and Thursday afternoon.

The secretary of the Commission
on Institutions of Higher Education
in the Middle States Association of
College and Secondary schools, has
designated C. M. Hetsbend, Wilson
State Teachers College, Washington ,
D.C., as chairman of the committee
to visit our college with a view to
accreditment in the association. Other
members of the committee designated
are Earle T. Hawkins, President of
State Teachers College, Towson,
Maryland ; Dean of Instruction, Dealton Partridge, State Teachers College, Mont clair , New Jersey ; Jane
Cort , Librarian , State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania;
and Carl Sapper, Steward , State
Teachers College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
The date for the visitation has been
tentatively set for March 27, 28, and
29. This is the first part of the first
half of the week preceding the Eastern recess. While the final acceptances have not been received from
members of the committee, the assembly of material for a questioneer
involving over 130 items is formula^
ting and when finished will give the
most complete picture of the college
that has yet been assembled under
one cover.
The statements will cover the following principles:
1. Properties
2. Progress
3. Significance
4. Facilities
5. Outcomes
Each faculty member will have at
least a personal page in the publication and this in itself will require 50
pages. When completed the bulletin
will be available for the Board of
Trustees, as w ell as the di ssensi on
committee and will form an administrative handbook for the faculty corresponding in some measure to the
Student handbook published annually
for students.
"Olympian " Is Big Hit
The Olympian, the college magazine, went on sale Jan, 30 immediately after assembly. The student body
showed their appreciation of the
magazine by purchasing over 250
copies the first day it was on sale.
For those unfortunate individuals
who didn 't get a copy, there are a
few left which will be placed on sale
soon.
Some of the new contributors of
literary talent to the Olympian are
Lois Frantz, Ray Starr, and Max
Kaplan. Poetry, short stories, jokes,
a letter to graduates, and an illustrated article on the girls in the Co-ed
Contest are only a few of the many
things of interest to ail students in
the All-College Magazine.

Capacity Crowd Fills Carver
Auditorium as Artists Appear
In Last of Concert Series
An enthralled audience jammed
Carver Hall Auditorium last Tuesday
night to hear Evelyn MacGregor and
Norman Kelly, two nationally known
vocalists, who made the final program in the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Artist Series a most
memorable one. Miss MacGregor, a
contralto of outstanding ability has
a range extending from low d to high
b-flat. She is currently featured on
the "American Album of Familiar
Music."
Norman Kelly is a rising young
t enor who is now one of t he sta rs of
the internationally famous Philadelphia LaScala Opera Company. Mr.
Kelly has made many concert appearances across the United States
as well as frequent radio and television engagements.
Miss MacGregor displayed a most
magnetic personality both on the
stage and in later interviews. While
talking to a reporter, Evelyn MacGregor stated that she would rather
sing directly to her audience in personal appearances than over the radio. She added that appearing before
an audience such as ours, that displayed both cultural interest and
sincere appreciation , was indeed a
pleasure. Her advice to young singers
is to make as many public appearances as possible in order to get
accustomed to being in front of an
audience. "Do not be discouraged by
stagefright," she said, "all performers have it and few ever get over it."
When asked to describe the greatest moment in her life, Miss MacGregor told the following story.
"When I was j ust a young girl, a
girlfriend and I attended El Trovatore in our hometown. I was so im(Continued on page 2)
Phi Sigma Pi To Award
At Sophomore Cotillion
At a recent meeting of Phi Sigma
Pi , Iota chapter, members of the fra-
ternity reached a decision to make
available a trophy to be awarded to
the winner of the OBITER 1950
Campus Coed Contest. The trophy,
in the form of an "Oscar" is to be
selected by a committee of members
of the fraternity, working with Don
Butcofsky who has been serving as
general chairman and publicity director for the event. The "Oscar"
will be presented to the winner, the
choice of John Robert Powers, when
the announcement of the selection is
made at the Sophomore Cotillion on
Friday evening, February 24. Edward
Kreitz , president of the fraternity,
will make the presentation.
CG,A- News
At a special meeting of the C.G.A.
held February 6 in room L, the issue
of having a piano in the lounge was
discussed thoroughly.
The president , Richard Wagner ,
received a letter submitted by several students listing reasons why a
piano should not be moved from the
dining room to the lounge for a trial.
There seems to have been a misunderstanding about the piano; the
C.G.A. voted to move the piano from
the dining room to the lounge for a
trial of two weeks, if during this
course of time anything happened to
the piano another one would be purchased to replace the one in the
dining room.
The Community Government voted
to uphold their measures with consideration for those who submitted
the letter.

The Gro und Hog Legend . . .
February 2nd of every year is set aside as "Ground Hog Day. "
According to the old fable— if you believe it— should the woodchuck
see his shadow on February second , h e wi ll jump back in his hole and
six more weeks of winter will follow. For this year of 1950, h owever ,
we need not prepare for six weeks of additional winter weather as the
secon d was a dull day permitting no sunshine to cause shadows.
Therefore , Spring is nearer than you might think.
How did this whole story originate? It all started with St. Bride,
or St. Brid get , of Ireland , who lived fifteen hundred years ago under
a huge oak tree. February 1 , is St. Bride 's Day an d Feb. 2 ,* Candlemas, or the day Christ entered the Church. The English and the
Scotch took to this patron of fertility and made her responsible for an
ear ly spring. February was a good month because it was the last
whole month of winter.
Farm folk would observe the custom simply b y placing a bed of
corn an d hay near the door of a home. Then someone would say
"Bri dget, Bridget come in. Th y b ed is rea dy. " The spirit of St. Bride
was supposed to accept the invitation and be reminded that it was
time to start thawing things out for a good early crop. This happened
on February first.
The following day was Candlemas and the day to see if Bridget
had taken the hint to produce a thaw. A bfighf dear day weald * be
typ ically winter weather producing shadows and meaning that Brid get
refused to end the winter. The European animal resembling our woodchuck , the hed gehog, was probably t h oug ht by the farmers to come
out to see how much longer he should sleep. The Europeans transferred the test on coming to America to the most common hibernator
at that time , the woodchuck.
Thus , the woodchuck , though he is bored with the whole proce d ure , owns February second. 111 bet he 's cussing Brid get w h enever
some slap-happy person starts prodding him out of hibernation on
February 2nd. (me)
Why I Want to Teach . . .
Deciding what occupation one wants to follow when he grows up
is a joy of all youth , and for a time at least a child "wor ks;" at anyt hing
from the local storekeeper to President of the United States. The
decision is not so easily made when the time for deciding is at hand.
Sometimes a vocation is decided for you; or you just happen to take
a certain jo b a n d t h at 's it. More often "this " or "that " field appeals
to you and you decide upon that kind of work.
While serving in the Army with the occupation forces in Italy
after the war , I had an opportunity to witness ( perhaps not under the
best circumstances ) how Americans react to many things. Living with
y oung men 'from all over the country gave me an opportunity to learn
what their attitudes were toward life. I was able to learn of their
beliefs and share their feelings. I saw how they enjoyed themselves;
I saw how they did not enjoy themselves. At times I was proud to be
an American ; at times I was not. Oh yes, I know the boys were away
from home and were merely looking for entertainment ; but to me it
seemed deeper than that. When we speak of evils we are, of course,
speaking of a minority whether that evil is in people or in the institutions of society.
Man y American Soldiers whom I saw and knew were not sure
what life ought to mean to them. There are many pattern s of life
which are good and productive , and who can say otherwise.
A few basic principles must be applied if a person is to raise
himself and his fellow men above a people who see life as a day-today strugg le for physical pleasure to be tasted and then forgotten.
This kind of activity is not happiness , nor is it purposeful.
Can you imag ine what life would be like if everyone set for his
sole purpose in life these day-to-day pleasures with no regard for
contributing anything but onl y to receive; or a community in which
man does not strive to grow spiritually and intellectually for his own
sake and for the betterment of the community ?
If these conditions did exist, the attitudes of the people who
would have a part in it would not have been born with these false
ideals of living. Rather , these ideals would have been learned and
,
perhaps taug ht.
Unfortunatel y we have not yet found a simple formula for good
living which can merely be injected into the arm of a ( suffering individual, Where concepts, prejudices , attitudes, and the "art of living "
is the sickness , the cure is slow and sometimes painful.
For me , life must be (if I am to be happy ) an unselfish endeavor
to make young people aware of these cultural values in life and give
them the kind of pattern of Jiving that will encourage them to grow
into useful and happy citizens with a real contribution to make to
society.
Cultural improvement is a slow process. So slow , in fact, that in
our fast changing world real sound values and God fliven gifts , which
are always present , seem to be lost in the confused efforts for material
success. "First things must come first. "
What our students will become , how happy they will be, and
what they will do to make our world a better place in which to live, is
largely the responsibility of the teachers in our schools. To bring
about the best possible results with these opportunities is my creed,
"Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twi fl is ben t the
tree 's inclined. " ( cwk )

CHARLEY, My Boy ! J
Charley is a typical college stu- I
dent. At the beginning of a semester , \
he is persevering in his studies in an 1
attempt to get off to a good start, j
He realizes he is in college to ac- I
quire an education , in the process of I
which he must sacrifice a reasonable j
amount of time and energy. He \
knows , also, that once he "lets }
down," it will be that much harder |
to get back on the right foot. So he
"hits " his books, and "hits" them ,
hard .
After a while, though , h e is apt to
relax his perseverance to a considerable extent. He plays pinochle when
he should be doing his Accounting.
He goes to the movies when he
should be completing an assignment
in English Literature. He takes part ¦
in a "bu ll session " when h e sho u ld be
studying his Botany. He knows it is
wrong, but he goes ahead and does it
anyway. Why ? "I've got to have
some relaxation , " he says.
It is all a part of college life. All :
this wasting of time, all t his "cram- .,
ming" before a test conforms to the
normal. The student who "hits " hi s
books day after day, with never a let- \
down in diligence and perseverance \
belongs to a small minority. Charley ;
isn 't part of that minority. He plays ;•
cards; he goes to the movies; he
wastes time; he procrastinates ; he :

I last-second third quarter shot proved that Frank Merriwell's do happen

of statistics provided by Coach Shelly. Some really remarkable facts and
figures concerning the varsity are presented . . . With the signing of several
big league stars and newcomers to the ranks of professional baseball early
this week, a special kind of initiative is offered many young high school and
college diamond aspirants by the attractive salaries. One youth signed with
one of the National League clubs for a sum comparable to the price of an
H-bomb . . . Incidentally, although Bobby Feller took a pay cut for the
doming season, each of his mound victories will cost the Cleveland Indians
a mere $5,600 . . . .
The varsity racked up 134 points last week in two frays while the pups
fiit the hoops for 145 markers . . . Witli the season fading, a real drawing
card for the local fans would be a battle pitting: the varsity against the VJ's

From the national scene . . . Babe Ruth unanimously won the most
valuable baseball player award of the first half of this century, and rightly
so . . . Duquesne, with 16 straight court victories lost their firs t decision last
week . . . Shifting of coaching positions among intercollegiate circles recently have been numerous and surprising. Fortunately, Bloomsburg has no

basketball tourney 's are scheduled for the 15th of next month . . . Now that
N.Y .U. has a real leader at the helm of the gridiron ship, they should go

the Basketball world with 17 straight wins without a setback . . . .
Those Saturday swim sessions are made possible by Mr. I loch who

Are We Able To Recognize Communism?
by Jack Reese
Just how much Communism is
there in our American schools ? Far
be it fr om me to overlook or disregard any threat to our concepts of
education. Communism in our American school system is a problem , if it
is a problem , which has to be handled
with the proverbial kid gloves. If we
are positive that Communistic doctrines are seeping into the educational theories that we are presenting to
our future citi zens and leaders , then
by all means we must eliminate and
harshly eject such parasitic ideas.
Howev er , before we, as intelligent
and analyzing people, do any ej ecting
we must uncover these evil practices.
We must find out where the disease
is greatest , cut it out to relieve the
pain , and then go to th e source and
rip it out by the roots.
Eliminating Communism after it
has been uncovered is a difficult task.
It is exceeded in difficulty only by
the problem of deciding whether or
not Communism exists in a particular case. In my estimation , it would
be fat al to suspect and investigate
because of Communistic tendencies
only to find that such tendencies do
not exist. If , every time we bump up
against something we do not immediately or clearly understand , we are
to cry "Red" or Communism, our
attempts to stamp it out will end in
disaster. Gone will be our privilege
of free, unbiased thinking and actions. There will be widespread suspicion and insecurity. It will end up
with everybody holding his nose and
pointing to someone else. To dig for
Communism and not find it is almost
as bad as going after it and finding
it . The same results occur in either
case. These results would be mistrust
among the people who were investigated in addition to the ensuing
doubts as to whether it is a safe
place to be. Possibly there would be
a revamping of the operating procedure which could not be as effective as before. The actions of those
concerned would be shaky and unrelaxed because they received a scare
and are under suspicion of being unsatisfied with American ways and
ideas. The solution to this menacing
problem of outlawing Communism
th en is to be educated intelligently
and properly on the subj ect and in
such a way so as to recognize it at
once with positi ve confidence in your
suspicion. You can readily see where
this would eliminate those people
who go off half-cocked when they
encounter something which is not
clear in their m ind s a nd th ey ca nn ot
pin a label on it. Gone, once and for
all , would be that rapidly spreading,
asinine belief that because an individual expresses mild dissatisfaction with American capitalism or
free enterprise , h e is to be stam ped
with hatred and suspicion as a potential follower of the Cominform.
Allow me to turn flag-waver for a
moment and remind the reader that
our American democracy is founded
on the privilege of being freely able
and at any time to criticize and suggest those impro vements which do
not appear to be what we as American citizens , representatives , and voters want them to be. Therefore , our
main task at present is to educate
and be educated to recognize Communism and where it exists in the
various functions and institutions of
this nation. We should weed out the
persons who would disturb and unnerve those around them by pointing
out Communistic tendencies when
these s a m e excitable , u ninfo r med
ones do not know what Communism
act ually is, let alone be able to cl a i m
that it exists in a certain place or
agency. In other words, let us study
a suspected function in every sense
of the word and to the best of our
abilities before passing j udgment of
any nature.
In the realm of education there
exists an even more perplexing problem. Where does free, unrestricted ,
unhindered education stop and Communistic ideals begin ? Now it is
evident why the person who accuses
another of preaching Communistic
doctrin e must know without a question of doubt what he is saying and
doing. Let it not be said that we
mistake our professional education
procedure for Communism or anything else for that matter. Once the
ball is sta rted on a down-hill roll
about such a problem as this you
would no longer have earnest , unhindered education but rather a quest
for education from one viewpoint ,
that of your native land. Once student s, other teachers and professors,
and outsiders become accustomed to
hearing only dogmatic presentation ,
there would be no reverting to the
previous style of democratic, factf ul
education. There would be more and
more accusations as more and more
educators with foresight attempted
to break through the shrouding veil
of ignorance, fear, and cowardice.
Event ually, there would be no more
attempts to throw off the yoke. Then
we would have j ust what the enemies
of this nation and democracy want
us to h ave , suppression , feared complacency, and no yen for understanding the past. It is not entirely an
impossibility that such a thing as
this could happen in America. For
all we know , perh aps it is just what
some of our adversaries are waiting
for and hoping will happen. If we
are going to end anger our educational arrangement as we know it by
being afraid and over-cautious because of possible accusations of Communism, especially by those completely unqualified to riake such accusations or decisions , then American
education is in grave danger indeed.
If we are to be in any sense overcautious , the n let it be over-cautiousness concerning too hasty judgments
an d opi n io n s a bou t th e beliefs of
oth ers around us. It is always pos*sible that a hasty j udgment might be
directed towards an individual who
is merely more liberal and humanitarian than the ordinary. It is almost
to the point now where any spoken
statement or opinion concerning the
welfare of the common working man
or the control and safe-keeping of
farm lands by the government immediately points out the speaker as
a person with Communistic tendencies or ideals. Certainly we do not
want this idea to catch hold and
spread because it is much more difficult to make people forget than re-

ditional money for local student government activities. "
NSA has a tradition of voting a
dues reduction each year at the annual Congress, which this year will
be held Aug. 23-31, at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The Association operates on a
$33,000 annual budget. Each year a
greater share of the budget come
from revenue-producing proj ects and
a lesser amount from student governments. NSA's budget is 4 cents per
member-college student. Dues account for 2Vi> cents. The remainder
comes from proj ects of the Associati on , including the sale of publications, and advertising in the NSA
News.
The cutback would not affect dues

national dues make up the greatest
part of the cost of NSA.
Kelly pointed out that the increasing numbers of new NSA member

stable.
member such an outlook as this.
Once such an idea begins to be used
and formulated in conversation and
general talk , it will grow and enlarge
past the intended proportions.
My suggestions on this entire problem are merely those of an interested
observer. I have never been able to
understand people who express an
opinion on something they do not
wholly understand. Communism, from
my experience, is never discussed
merely for conversational purposes.
It is always discussed in forms of
unsure, half - baked opinions by almost everyone, and we know that
many people who venture to voice
these opinions would not even recognize Communism if they came face
to face with it. Instead of concentra ting on Communism, let us instead
concentrate on Democracy and recognize quickly and open - mindedly
those principles which are anti-democratic. In this way, we "can eliminate
Communism as an enemy and a political disease of the United States.

and B.S.T.C , have been identified as
Betts Rid all , Bill Romig, and Naomi

all Dick Farnsworth' s fault because
he didn 't make connections with the

improper is Bill's failure to get a
ride for himself and his colleagues.

group, including the twirlers and the
color guard, met in the auditorium of
Navy Hall to a setting of music and
colored lights. All those attending
enj oyed the music for dancing provided by the Hank Marini Combo and
the refreshments prepared by the
committee. Pictures of the group
taken for the 1950 Obiter were displayed by President of the Band,
Richard Schwartz , who announced
that the pictures were available for
sale to anyone who wished to order
them.
Band activities now are limited to
preparation of concert numbers for
the spring season. This does not bring
the group before the student body
but the auditorium of Navy Hall still

The secretary of the Commission
on Institutions of Higher Education
in the Middle States Association of
College and Secondary schools, has
designated C. M. Hetsbend, Wilson
State Teachers College, Washington ,
D.C., as chairman of the committee
to visit our college with a view to
accreditment in the association. Other
members of the committee designated
are Earle T. Hawkins, President of
State Teachers College, Towson,
Maryland ; Dean of Instruction, Dealton Partridge, State Teachers College, Mont clair , New Jersey ; Jane
Cort , Librarian , State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania;
and Carl Sapper, Steward , State
Teachers College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
The date for the visitation has been
tentatively set for March 27, 28, and
29. This is the first part of the first
half of the week preceding the Eastern recess. While the final acceptances have not been received from
members of the committee, the assembly of material for a questioneer
involving over 130 items is formula^
ting and when finished will give the
most complete picture of the college
that has yet been assembled under
one cover.
The statements will cover the following principles:
1. Properties
2. Progress
3. Significance
4. Facilities
5. Outcomes
Each faculty member will have at
least a personal page in the publication and this in itself will require 50
pages. When completed the bulletin
will be available for the Board of
Trustees, as w ell as the di ssensi on
committee and will form an administrative handbook for the faculty corresponding in some measure to the
Student handbook published annually
for students.
"Olympian " Is Big Hit
The Olympian, the college magazine, went on sale Jan, 30 immediately after assembly. The student body
showed their appreciation of the
magazine by purchasing over 250
copies the first day it was on sale.
For those unfortunate individuals
who didn 't get a copy, there are a
few left which will be placed on sale
soon.
Some of the new contributors of
literary talent to the Olympian are
Lois Frantz, Ray Starr, and Max
Kaplan. Poetry, short stories, jokes,
a letter to graduates, and an illustrated article on the girls in the Co-ed
Contest are only a few of the many
things of interest to ail students in
the All-College Magazine.

Capacity Crowd Fills Carver
Auditorium as Artists Appear
In Last of Concert Series
An enthralled audience jammed
Carver Hall Auditorium last Tuesday
night to hear Evelyn MacGregor and
Norman Kelly, two nationally known
vocalists, who made the final program in the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Artist Series a most
memorable one. Miss MacGregor, a
contralto of outstanding ability has
a range extending from low d to high
b-flat. She is currently featured on
the "American Album of Familiar
Music."
Norman Kelly is a rising young
t enor who is now one of t he sta rs of
the internationally famous Philadelphia LaScala Opera Company. Mr.
Kelly has made many concert appearances across the United States
as well as frequent radio and television engagements.
Miss MacGregor displayed a most
magnetic personality both on the
stage and in later interviews. While
talking to a reporter, Evelyn MacGregor stated that she would rather
sing directly to her audience in personal appearances than over the radio. She added that appearing before
an audience such as ours, that displayed both cultural interest and
sincere appreciation , was indeed a
pleasure. Her advice to young singers
is to make as many public appearances as possible in order to get
accustomed to being in front of an
audience. "Do not be discouraged by
stagefright," she said, "all performers have it and few ever get over it."
When asked to describe the greatest moment in her life, Miss MacGregor told the following story.
"When I was j ust a young girl, a
girlfriend and I attended El Trovatore in our hometown. I was so im(Continued on page 2)
Phi Sigma Pi To Award

CG,A- News
At a special meeting of the C.G.A.
held February 6 in room L, the issue
of having a piano in the lounge was
discussed thoroughly.
The president , Richard Wagner ,
received a letter submitted by several students listing reasons why a
piano should not be moved from the
dining room to the lounge for a trial.
There seems to have been a misunderstanding about the piano; the
C.G.A. voted to move the piano from
the dining room to the lounge for a
trial of two weeks, if during this
course of time anything happened to
the piano another one would be purchased to replace the one in the
dining room.
The Community Government voted
to uphold their measures with consideration for those who submitted
the letter.

CIBCULATION — 900 COPIES
The Gro und Hog Legend . . .
February 2nd of every year is set aside as "Ground Hog Day. "
According to the old fable— if you believe it— should the woodchuck
see his shadow on February second , h e wi ll jump back in his hole and
six more weeks of winter will follow. For this year of 1950, h owever ,
we need not prepare for six weeks of additional winter weather as the
secon d was a dull day permitting no sunshine to cause shadows.
Therefore , Spring is nearer than you might think.
How did this whole story originate? It all started with St. Bride,
or St. Brid get , of Ireland , who lived fifteen hundred years ago under
a huge oak tree. February 1 , is St. Bride 's Day an d Feb. 2 ,* Candlemas, or the day Christ entered the Church. The English and the
Scotch took to this patron of fertility and made her responsible for an
ear ly spring. February was a good month because it was the last
whole month of winter.
Farm folk would observe the custom simply b y placing a bed of
corn an d hay near the door of a home. Then someone would say
"Bri dget, Bridget come in. Th y b ed is rea dy. " The spirit of St. Bride
was supposed to accept the invitation and be reminded that it was
time to start thawing things out for a good early crop. This happened
on February first.
The following day was Candlemas and the day to see if Bridget
had taken the hint to produce a thaw. A bfighf dear day weald * be
typ ically winter weather producing shadows and meaning that Brid get
refused to end the winter. The European animal resembling our woodchuck , the hed gehog, was probably t h oug ht by the farmers to come
out to see how much longer he should sleep. The Europeans transferred the test on coming to America to the most common hibernator
at that time , the woodchuck.
Thus , the woodchuck , though he is bored with the whole proce d ure , owns February second. 111 bet he 's cussing Brid get w h enever
some slap-happy person starts prodding him out of hibernation on
February 2nd. (me)
Why I Want to Teach . . .
Deciding what occupation one wants to follow when he grows up
is a joy of all youth , and for a time at least a child "wor ks;" at anyt hing
from the local storekeeper to President of the United States. The
decision is not so easily made when the time for deciding is at hand.
Sometimes a vocation is decided for you; or you just happen to take
a certain jo b a n d t h at 's it. More often "this " or "that " field appeals
to you and you decide upon that kind of work.
While serving in the Army with the occupation forces in Italy
after the war , I had an opportunity to witness ( perhaps not under the
best circumstances ) how Americans react to many things. Living with
y oung men 'from all over the country gave me an opportunity to learn
what their attitudes were toward life. I was able to learn of their
beliefs and share their feelings. I saw how they enjoyed themselves;
I saw how they did not enjoy themselves. At times I was proud to be
an American ; at times I was not. Oh yes, I know the boys were away
from home and were merely looking for entertainment ; but to me it
seemed deeper than that. When we speak of evils we are, of course,
speaking of a minority whether that evil is in people or in the institutions of society.
Man y American Soldiers whom I saw and knew were not sure
what life ought to mean to them. There are many pattern s of life
which are good and productive , and who can say otherwise.
A few basic principles must be applied if a person is to raise
himself and his fellow men above a people who see life as a day-today strugg le for physical pleasure to be tasted and then forgotten.
This kind of activity is not happiness , nor is it purposeful.
Can you imag ine what life would be like if everyone set for his
sole purpose in life these day-to-day pleasures with no regard for
contributing anything but onl y to receive; or a community in which
man does not strive to grow spiritually and intellectually for his own
sake and for the betterment of the community ?
If these conditions did exist, the attitudes of the people who
would have a part in it would not have been born with these false
ideals of living. Rather , these ideals would have been learned and
,
perhaps taug ht.
Unfortunatel y we have not yet found a simple formula for good
living which can merely be injected into the arm of a ( suffering individual, Where concepts, prejudices , attitudes, and the "art of living "
is the sickness , the cure is slow and sometimes painful.
For me , life must be (if I am to be happy ) an unselfish endeavor
to make young people aware of these cultural values in life and give
them the kind of pattern of Jiving that will encourage them to grow
into useful and happy citizens with a real contribution to make to
society.
Cultural improvement is a slow process. So slow , in fact, that in
our fast changing world real sound values and God fliven gifts , which
are always present , seem to be lost in the confused efforts for material
success. "First things must come first. "
What our students will become , how happy they will be, and
what they will do to make our world a better place in which to live, is
largely the responsibility of the teachers in our schools. To bring
about the best possible results with these opportunities is my creed,
"Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twi fl is ben t the
tree 's inclined. " ( cwk )

CHARLEY, My Boy ! J
Charley is a typical college stu- I
dent. At the beginning of a semester , \
he is persevering in his studies in an 1
attempt to get off to a good start, j
He realizes he is in college to ac- I
quire an education , in the process of I
which he must sacrifice a reasonable j
amount of time and energy. He \
knows , also, that once he "lets }
down," it will be that much harder |
to get back on the right foot. So he
"hits " his books, and "hits" them ,
hard .
After a while, though , h e is apt to
relax his perseverance to a considerable extent. He plays pinochle when
he should be doing his Accounting.
He goes to the movies when he
should be completing an assignment
in English Literature. He takes part ¦
in a "bu ll session " when h e sho u ld be
studying his Botany. He knows it is
wrong, but he goes ahead and does it
anyway. Why ? "I've got to have
some relaxation , " he says.
It is all a part of college life. All :
this wasting of time, all t his "cram- .,
ming" before a test conforms to the
normal. The student who "hits " hi s
books day after day, with never a let- \
down in diligence and perseverance \

Cagers Nip Bald Ea gles
By Wide Mar gin In
Onesided Encounter
The Lock Haven quintet proved to
be. only a stepping stone in the Husky
victory string as the local cagers
clipped the Bald Eagles wings 62-47
last Saturday night on our home
court.
The Maroon and Gold basketeers
took command of the floor from the
time Banull took the ball on the
opening toss-up, until the final whistle. Despite their height advantage,
the visitors offered little resistance,
as the Shellymen dumped in two field
goals and a.foul shot in the opening
seconds. Smokey Andrews contributed eight of the 15 points before the
first period ended with the locals in
the lead 15-8.
Retrieving a maj ority of the rebounds, big Ed Jones and Don Butler
kept the Huskies ahead by the halftime buzzer, 25-16.
The last half was a listless affair
although the Maroon ' and Gold increased their lead to 43-26 count.
Just before the period came to a
close, Bobby Kashner tossed in one
of the longest shots ever seen in
Centennial Gym , hooping two points
from beyond center court.
Scoring laurels for the Huskies go
to Andrews and Jones who hit the
nets for twelve points each. Bartelson and Butler contributed 11 and
10, while the Bald Eagles, Miller and
Rimmey accounted for 13 and 10
markers respectively.

Chalk up victory number five for the local cagers after an easy win over
Lhe Lock Haven visitors . . . The Bald Eagles never showed much power, but
the Husky visit to their floor later this month may prove to be a different
story . . . The Maroon and Gold Jay Vees also copped another success with
un 83-point splurge for the high mark of the season . . . Bobby Kashner's
I last-second third quarter shot proved that Frank Merriwell's do happen
?ven in this day and age . . . Look for the opening whistle of the intramural
season this week. Several strong court quintets are set for the firs t tipoff ;
umong the group is the powerful Grimes Miners . . . According to a reliable
source, a swimming team is next on the agenda in the athletic setup of
B.S.T.C. When this will come is yet unknown , but after this project, a
wrestling team is in the offing . . . Speaking of wrestling, the Millersville
Marauders grabbed the Teachers limelight by twisting out their sixth mat
verdict of the season last week . . . Be sure to take a glance at the fine list
of statistics provided by Coach Shelly. Some really remarkable facts and
figures concerning the varsity are presented . . . With the signing of several
big league stars and newcomers to the ranks of professional baseball early
this week, a special kind of initiative is offered many young high school and
college diamond aspirants by the attractive salaries. One youth signed with
one of the National League clubs for a sum comparable to the price of an
H-bomb . . . Incidentally, although Bobby Feller took a pay cut for the
doming season, each of his mound victories will cost the Cleveland Indians
a mere $5,600 . . . .
The varsity racked up 134 points last week in two frays while the pups
fiit the hoops for 145 markers . . . Witli the season fading, a real drawing
card for the local fans would be a battle pitting: the varsity against the VJ's
or a group of male faculty members, anything for a laugh, how about It? . . .
From the national scene . . . Babe Ruth unanimously won the most
valuable baseball player award of the first half of this century, and rightly
so . . . Duquesne, with 16 straight court victories lost their firs t decision last
week . . . Shifting of coaching positions among intercollegiate circles recently have been numerous and surprising. Fortunately, Bloomsburg has no
complaints and if Mr. Redman continues his marvelous work here on the
hill , he 'll be welcome for a long, long time . . . One of the big national
basketball tourney 's are scheduled for the 15th of next month . . . Now that
N.Y .U. has a real leader at the helm of the gridiron ship, they should go
places. In the last couple of years, the Maroon and Gold could have given
(he big New York school a tough time . . . Holy Cross remains at the top of
the Basketball world with 17 straight wins without a setback . . . .
Those Saturday swim sessions are made possible by Mr. I loch who
devotes his time up in the gym in the afternoon for that purpose . . . The
mid-semester frosh class brought in some promising basketball talent, but
next year, most or the now boys will get their real chance . , . Graduation
will not hit Mr. Shelly 's squad hard this year, fortunately , . . Well, that's
all for this week except to say that at their present pace, the Husky plonksters should easily show a hotter record than last year, or for that mutter,
the last few seasons.

Are We Able To Recognize Communism?
by Jack Reese
Just how much Communism is
there in our American schools ? Far
be it fr om me to overlook or disregard any threat to our concepts of
education. Communism in our American school system is a problem , if it
is a problem , which has to be handled
with the proverbial kid gloves. If we
are positive that Communistic doctrines are seeping into the educational theories that we are presenting to
our future citi zens and leaders , then
by all means we must eliminate and
harshly eject such parasitic ideas.
Howev er , before we, as intelligent
and analyzing people, do any ej ecting
we must uncover these evil practices.
We must find out where the disease
is greatest , cut it out to relieve the
pain , and then go to th e source and
rip it out by the roots.
Eliminating Communism after it
has been uncovered is a difficult task.
It is exceeded in difficulty only by
the problem of deciding whether or
not Communism exists in a particular case. In my estimation , it would
be fat al to suspect and investigate
because of Communistic tendencies
only to find that such tendencies do
not exist. If , every time we bump up
against something we do not immediately or clearly understand , we are
to cry "Red" or Communism, our
attempts to stamp it out will end in
disaster. Gone will be our privilege
of free, unbiased thinking and actions. There will be widespread suspicion and insecurity. It will end up
with everybody holding his nose and
pointing to someone else. To dig for
Communism and not find it is almost
as bad as going after it and finding
it . The same results occur in either
case. These results would be mistrust
among the people who were investigated in addition to the ensuing
doubts as to whether it is a safe
place to be. Possibly there would be
a revamping of the operating procedure which could not be as effective as before. The actions of those
concerned would be shaky and unrelaxed because they received a scare
and are under suspicion of being unsatisfied with American ways and
ideas. The solution to this menacing
problem of outlawing Communism
th en is to be educated intelligently
and properly on the subj ect and in
such a way so as to recognize it at
once with positi ve confidence in your
suspicion. You can readily see where
this would eliminate those people
who go off half-cocked when they
encounter something which is not
clear in their m ind s a nd th ey ca nn ot
pin a label on it. Gone, once and for
all , would be that rapidly spreading,
asinine belief that because an individual expresses mild dissatisfaction with American capitalism or
free enterprise , h e is to be stam ped
with hatred and suspicion as a potential follower of the Cominform.
Allow me to turn flag-waver for a
moment and remind the reader that
our American democracy is founded
on the privilege of being freely able
and at any time to criticize and suggest those impro vements which do
not appear to be what we as American citizens , representatives , and voters want them to be. Therefore , our
main task at present is to educate
and be educated to recognize Communism and where it exists in the
various functions and institutions of
this nation. We should weed out the
persons who would disturb and unnerve those around them by pointing
out Communistic tendencies when
these s a m e excitable , u ninfo r med
ones do not know what Communism
act ually is, let alone be able to cl a i m
that it exists in a certain place or
agency. In other words, let us study
a suspected function in every sense
of the word and to the best of our
abilities before passing j udgment of
any nature.
In the realm of education there
exists an even more perplexing problem. Where does free, unrestricted ,
unhindered education stop and Communistic ideals begin ? Now it is
evident why the person who accuses
another of preaching Communistic
doctrin e must know without a question of doubt what he is saying and
doing. Let it not be said that we
mistake our professional education
procedure for Communism or anything else for that matter. Once the
ball is sta rted on a down-hill roll
about such a problem as this you
would no longer have earnest , unhindered education but rather a quest
for education from one viewpoint ,
that of your native land. Once student s, other teachers and professors,
and outsiders become accustomed to
hearing only dogmatic presentation ,
there would be no reverting to the
previous style of democratic, factf ul
education. There would be more and
more accusations as more and more
educators with foresight attempted
to break through the shrouding veil
of ignorance, fear, and cowardice.
Event ually, there would be no more
attempts to throw off the yoke. Then
we would have j ust what the enemies
of this nation and democracy want
us to h ave , suppression , feared complacency, and no yen for understanding the past. It is not entirely an
impossibility that such a thing as
this could happen in America. For
all we know , perh aps it is just what
some of our adversaries are waiting
for and hoping will happen. If we
are going to end anger our educational arrangement as we know it by
being afraid and over-cautious because of possible accusations of Communism, especially by those completely unqualified to riake such accusations or decisions , then American
education is in grave danger indeed.
If we are to be in any sense overcautious , the n let it be over-cautiousness concerning too hasty judgments
an d opi n io n s a bou t th e beliefs of
oth ers around us. It is always pos*sible that a hasty j udgment might be
directed towards an individual who
is merely more liberal and humanitarian than the ordinary. It is almost
to the point now where any spoken
statement or opinion concerning the
welfare of the common working man
or the control and safe-keeping of
farm lands by the government immediately points out the speaker as
a person with Communistic tendencies or ideals. Certainly we do not
want this idea to catch hold and
spread because it is much more difficult to make people forget than re-

ditional money for local student government activities. "
NSA has a tradition of voting a
dues reduction each year at the annual Congress, which this year will
be held Aug. 23-31, at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The Association operates on a
$33,000 annual budget. Each year a
greater share of the budget come
from revenue-producing proj ects and
a lesser amount from student governments. NSA's budget is 4 cents per
member-college student. Dues account for 2Vi> cents. The remainder
comes from proj ects of the Associati on , including the sale of publications, and advertising in the NSA
News.
The cutback would not affect dues

national dues make up the greatest
part of the cost of NSA.
Kelly pointed out that the increasing numbers of new NSA member

stable.
member such an outlook as this.
Once such an idea begins to be used
and formulated in conversation and
general talk , it will grow and enlarge
past the intended proportions.
My suggestions on this entire problem are merely those of an interested
observer. I have never been able to
understand people who express an
opinion on something they do not
wholly understand. Communism, from
my experience, is never discussed
merely for conversational purposes.
It is always discussed in forms of
unsure, half - baked opinions by almost everyone, and we know that
many people who venture to voice
these opinions would not even recognize Communism if they came face
to face with it. Instead of concentra ting on Communism, let us instead
concentrate on Democracy and recognize quickly and open - mindedly
those principles which are anti-democratic. In this way, we "can eliminate
Communism as an enemy and a political disease of the United States.

Sue *Dreibelbis was bridesmaid. The
newlyweds will live near Lewisburg

Police — 3 college students , described by "Wanted" circulars as soliciting rides between Ent's Restaurant
and B.S.T.C , have been identified as
Betts Rid all , Bill Romig, and Naomi
Clark. From what we hear, it w as
all Dick Farnsworth' s fault because
he didn 't make connections with the
trio who were returning from Catawissa. What makes the hitchhiking
improper is Bill's failure to get a
ride for himself and his colleagues.
Such gallantry ! What's this old world
coming to?
