On March 8, 10, 11, and 16, 17, 18,
the twenty-third annual High School
Invitation Basketball tournament of
the Bloomsburg State Teachers College will be held in Centennial Gymnasium. More than one hundred and
fifty high schools from five P.I.A.A.
districts will soon receive invitations ,
and already interest is mounting in
the affair.
Since many of the schoolboy leagues do not wind up their activities
until late this year, the tournament
date is set later than usual. Several
league championships are not determined until the first week in March ,
so with these new dates, the committee hopes there will be no interference in the playoffs.
A new money gunrantee will also
be provided the teams that must
make more than one trip to Bloomsburg. A payment of 25c per mile is
to be allotted the visiting team toward their expenses, with a minimum payment of ten dollars guaranteed. For final-round contestants, a
rate of 40c per mile will be paid with
u minimum of 15 dollars guaranteed.
Guarantees will not be paid for opening-round or qualifying-round games
nor will mileage be paid for teams
that draw byes into the semi-final
round .
So Hint only top-notch basketball
will bo seen in the tournament , the
teams to be invited will be selected

Music Hath Charms . . . . ?
Your College Council was conducting an experiment last week
. . . . for your benefit. But said experiment rapidl y evo l ve d into open
war fare between piano-booing juke-box -ites and juke - box - booing
piano-ites which made for unhol y holocaust in our never-too-quiet
lounge. Anyone with normal auditory facilities and a certain amount
of college pride was chagrined at the juvenile racket with which some
students voiced their displeasure at the use of one or the other of the
music-ma kers.
P- S.—Just walked into the gym and everyone was listening with
rapt attention to the rendition of a semi-classical number on the piano.
They 'll do it everytime!

Gentlemen Are Made . . . .
The University of New Hampshire is planning to divide its
dormitory rooming assignments according to classes, i.e., f res h man ,
sop h omore , etc. The reasons given for this move were as follows :
(1) Transition from the high school to the college level presents
a vita l problem of readjustment.
( 2) Separate dormitory assignments for freshmen would tend to
identif y an d integrate the class into a more compact unit.
This broug ht a howl of disapproval from the freshmen , who conten ded that living with the upperclassmen was of distinct aid and
en couragement in their studies. The student newspaper , h owev er,
claimed that the upperclassmen had an undesirable influence on the
freshmen.
To this writer it seems that the New Hampshire plan is entirely
justifia ble , especially when a wide age and experience ::ange is in
existence, as is presentl y t he case at B.S.T.C. When such a situation
does exist , the "Law of Compensation " imme d iat ely beg in sto wor k,
the result being that the adjustment and integration proce ss is accelerated beyond .t he capacity of the individual. The final pro duct resulting in — to emp loy the vernacular — "wise guys " who know all
the answers.
The process of adjustment and integration knows no miraculous
catalytic agent which will guarantee 24-hour service. It simp l y can ' t
be accomplished over-night , or in a few weeks or months. When ,
colleges become entirel y cognizant of the dangers involved in trying
"to keep up with the Jones ' " in the dormitories , something will be
done. A college graduate ouqht to be a gentleman above everything
else. But gentlemen are made not born ; and the process is one of
supervised personality growth, not one of haphazard adjustmen t and
( dlb )
int egration.

A more glori ous pool there never was
That splashed o 'er crags and bouldered rock ,
And rippled tired in m ournful dells,

Through silent , barren hills it flowed ,

that lapping caused the thrush to

TIME on My Hands

There is a plot afoot to change the
calendar , and I want to go on record
against it.
Under the proposed system the
year would be divided into four quarters , with the first month of each
quarter having 31 days, and the remaining two, 30. That would total
up to exactly 364, leaving one day
remaining at the end of th e year.
This orphan of time would not belong
to any particular week , month , or
year; it would be known simply as
Worldsday and would be sandwiched
between December 30 and January 1.
If the plan were to go into effect
in 1950 the year would always end on
Saturday, but that Saturday night
would not be New Year's Eve, nor
would th e following day be Sunday.
To add to the confusion , our traditional celebration of New Year's Eve
would become a thing of the past. It
could not fall on December 30, since
the following day would not begin
the new year; nor could it fall on
Worldsday night , since the old year
would have ended the night before.
But it's not until you get around to
birthdays that the matter really becomes complicated. Suppose, for example, your birthd ay now falls on
May 2, the 122nd day of the year.
May 2 of the new calendar will fall
on the 124th day , so that couldn 't
possibly be your birthday . You would
have to move it back to the new
calendar equivalent of the 122nd day ,
which would be April 31. But since
you were born in May rather than
April , that couldn't be right either;
and , further , you would be celebrating your birthd ay on a day that did
not exist at the time you were born ,
since an extra day would be added to
April to begin the new quarter. The
upshot of it all would be that your
bi rthday would be lost in the shuffle.
It would be equally as bad for any
and vermillion twenties ? The answer
special days which now fall on the
31st day of either March, May, Aug-

Valentines Day . . . .
The origin of Valentine 's Day is still questioned. Here are some
authentic facts on the subject , from which you may draw your own
conclusions.
In earl y Christian records there are two holy men by the name
of Valentine. Both of these men lived in the second half of the third
century. One was a Roman priest and the other a bishop. Either of
these men could have been Saint Valentine. Whoever he was , he
loved children , welcoming them to his home and joining in their games.
Tragedy struck the lives of his little friends when Saint Valentine was
sent to prison. Still faithful to their grown-up companion , the children
sent many cards to Saint Valentine who responded with notes which
were soon to become known as "Valentines. "
We have a number of other possible origins of this celebrated
day. February 14 was also the date of the ancient Roman festival
honoring Lubricus, Men paraded in goatskins and shot women with
thongs to assure them of having more children. This was a pagan
ritual of course, but the idea-was later modified and christianized. The
names of young men and women were put into a box and the young
man 's name which was drawn for a young woman determined her
boy friend for the next year.
The church did not approve of even the modification of the
Lubricus festival so in its stead they kept the name-drawing ritual but
the names drawn were those of Saints whose respective lives the
people were to follow for that year,
Another possible source of the word "valentine " may be a misinterpretation of the French word Galantine which means "a lover. "
So from one of these humble beginnings Valentine 's Day as we
know it now has evolved, Cupid' s holiday. The one day of the year

OUR CULTURE CAN'T
KEEP UP
Speaking not fr om a sociological ,
but from an aesthetic point of view ,
culture , in general, has no place in
contemporary American life. The average American has too omuch to do,
with too little time to do it in. He
is too busy in the pursuit of financial
security, his measure of success, to
engage in any pursuit of culture. The
truth of the matter is that people are
not interested in culture.
In New York City, millions of peopie are constantly in a state of "hurry-up." They r ush to work ; they
rush to lun ch; they rush to their
homes. Wherever he is going, everyone seems to be in a hurry . The only
culture many of these people are exposed to is the show at the Paramount Theater , with Benny Goodman , in person — "two shows for the
price of one."
How about the laborer ? After digging his heart out all week, come
Sunday, the coal-miner might like to
relax and listen to the Boston Symphony Orchestra — he might , bu t I
doubt it. Instead , I think he would
prefer a good polka band.
Our cultured literature makes a
small pile compared to the mountains of trash in circulation. Strange
as it may seem, more people prefer
to read Dick Tracy than Richard III.
It' s a fact. People will not accept
culture offered to them free, b u t w ill
go out of their way and pay plenty
for second-rate , mediocre entertainment. College students cannot take
time to attend a free concert, featuring a contralto singing in three different languages, but will make time
to attend a third-rate motion-picture
with an admission price of fifty-four
cents.
American life today is fast moving,
high-stepping; and our culture has to
keep pace with the times. Every walk
of American life has its own degre of
culture, but culture as we think of it ,
in the "high-brow " sense of the word ,
has little or no place in the average
American 's life. To appreciate culture, one must be exposed to it; to be
exposed to it , one must have the
time. The average American either
does not have the time, or will not
take the time because he feels that
he has other , more important things
to do.
To put it in hop - cat slanguage,
"Culture is definitely square, "

BABBLIN G BROOKS Former

by Harry Brooks

Enzo Robert Frosini, who graduated from Bloomsburg State Teachers
College in February, 1945, as a business maj or, is now in Florence, Italy.
Recipient of the Fulbright Grant
( Senator Fulbright , of Arkansas),
Frosini is in Florence helping the
people there to understand better
Americans a*nd the system of government under which they live. The
Fulbright Grant is one of the many
exchange p r o g r a m s in education
whereby American ideas and aims
are presented to the peoples of other
nations.
After completing his w o r k at
Bloomsburg, Frosini studied at Columbia University where he received
a Master's degree in psychology and
guidance work . Now 27 years of age,
Frosini sailed for Italy last November.
According to post cards sent to
President Andruss and Dr. Maupin ,
Frosini is very much impressed with
