NANCY UNGER
Nancy Unger, B.S.T.C.'s "Coe d of

and a sincere and charming personality that reflects itself in her engaging smile. Though she was born in
Kingston, Nancy has lived the greater part of her nineteen years in
For t y For t , and graduated from
For t y Fort High last year. At present she is a freshman in the elementary curriculum.
"A f unny feeling, a sort of sinking

her name announced as the wfriner
of the coed of the Year Contest. She
said , too, that she felt "pretty nervous" when she went up to the platform, to be presented with the Phi

Speaks at Bus iness
Educ. Club Meeting
Mr. Edward F. Schuyler, editor of
the Morning Press, spoke at the regular meeting of the Business Education Club on February 16 in Navy
Hall auditorium. Mr. Schuyler was
graduated from Bloomsburg State
Teachers College in 1924 and is a
well-known member of the Alumni
Association.
He explained to the members of the
Business Education Club the various
duties of reporters, proof - readers,
and printers. The students participated in an informal discussion of
methods of selecting and setting up
news for the press. He described a
typical day at the Morning Press
office beginning with machine operation on special features, advance
sports , and display composition at
8:30 A.M. The wire editor and reporters begin the make - up in the
af ternoon which may be changed until after midnight. Their mail starts

A report was given by Miss Mlkvy

Club and Pi Omega Pi are planning
to have published this year,

The final concert of the series presented by the Civic Music Association
was exceptionally well received by an
enraptured audience last Thursday
evening in the Bloomsburg High
School Auditorium. The violin and
piano duet given by Benno and Sylvia
Rabinof proved to be one of the outstanding musical events of the year.
This season marks the thirteenth
coast-to-coast U. S. concert tour of
Benno and Sylvia Rabinof who , upon
their return from their recent tour
of Eu rop e, were met with critical acclaim and audience ovations that exceeded all previous ones.
Featured Soloist
Benno R'abinof has been featured
soloist with the leading symphony
orchestras of the United States , Canada , and Europe and has made regular radio appearances over national
network s NBC, CBS, and ABC. His
wife, Sylvia Rabinof , an ex cellent
pi ani st , accompanies him entirely by
memory, an uncommon achievement.
Bef ore her New York debut in Town
Hall , she concertized widely in Paris
and Switzerland where her work on
the radio and with maj or orchestras
was enthusiastically received.
Present Well-Rounded Program
The couple presented a well-rounded program which opened with Mr.
Rabinof s own arrangement of "Air
for the G String" by Bach. The first
section of the program consisted of
three violin and piano duets ; the
second of three selections on the
pi ano by Mr. Rabinof , and the final
section consisted of violin solos. In
the course of the program, Mr. Rabinof exemplified his deft command of
the violin by imitating various string
and wind instruments. As encores he
played his arrangement of the "Fligh t
of the Bumblebee" and "Ave Maria."

a permanent part of the furnishings
of her room at home, where, she said ,
she'll look at it every time she goes
home "just to make sure all of this

During her sophomore year in high
school Nancy says she entertained a
vague notion that she should one day
like to become a model. But , to quote
her, "by the time my senior year had

that I wanted to become a teacher. "

Four-Hundred Patrons Fill
"Cafe Antoine" to Witness
Contest's Colorful Climax
Lanky, Lincolnish Tom Anthony
arrived early at Centennial Gymnasium, wearing a natty pin-stripe suit
and a worried look. The stage was
set for what the sophomore president
hoped would be "the dance of the
year." The spacious gymnasium was
lavishly decorated with streamers of
red and white crepe paper which ran
overhead and down to the floor on
all four sides. The night club illusion
was perfect. A double row of tables
circled the dance " floor, giving the
"Cafe Antoine" a final touch of continental atmosphere which was considerably strengthened by the Eiffel
Tower backdrop on the bandstand.
As nine o'clock approached , the
furrows in Anthony 's brow grew
deeper. The advance sale of Cotillion
tickets had been discouragin g despite
t h e intensive publicity campaign
which had heralded the dance for
more than a week. A few earlycomers drifted in. The Lee Vincent
orchestra tuned up and got ready for
the first number. Anthony 's apprehension was justifiable. It looked as
if th e "dance of the year" had turned
into t h e "egg of the year."
Then, suddenly, things began to
happen. A line began to form at the
ticket booth , and a continuous stream
of automobiles poured into the parking lot. The line grew longer at the
ticket booth, and within the next half
hour nearly a hundred additional
tickets had been sold. By ten o'clock
all available table space had been
taken, and a number of "Cafe Antoine" first-nighters had to find seats
in the bleachers.
As intermission approached , an
hour of continuous j ingling in the
cash box had entirely dissolved class
president Anthony 's earlier appre hensions. He was out of the red .and
what was more, he was climbing
steadily into the blue.
With the conclusion of the last
dance before intermission came a
fanfare of trumpets announcing the
program which was to reveal the
winner and the runners - up in the
1950 Obiter's Coed of the Year Contest. Joe Curilla, Obiter editor, who
displays a native talent for emceeing
along with a curious predilection for
crew haircuts and bow ties, presented
each of the twelve contestants to the
audience amid the glare of motion
picture lights and flash bulbs. Curilla
then turned the program over to Don
Butcofsky, contest chairman , who
named Polly Cooper, Jane Keller ,

Wild About the Wash ing Machine . . .
This editorial mig ht better be titled "Ode to a Washing Machine
—In Prose. " However, for the sake of brevity I have substituted the
title which appears above.
Now about this washing machine . . . It seems that on the third
floor Waller Hall ( girls side ) there is a decrepit , anti quate d , and by
far too noisey machine which chug-chug-chugs from earl y morning
'tiMate at night. It performs a variety of duties, chief among which
is "rinsing out " females unmentionables. This is a laudible and commendable task , and cannot be dispensed with. However, for the benefit of the dorm men who have to suffer hour after hour listening to the
un sweet strains of a combination of "Rag Mop " an d "Cow Cow
Boogie ," I would advocate the purchase of a muffler for the machine ,
or a schedule of hours with regard to the operating of it. This schedule
Would specif y t h at t h e g irls do their wash sometime during the day, or
else send it to the laundry on Sunday evenings as the men do.
Since enough gentlemen are not affected by the screeching noise
which emanates from the "pre ss room " I doubt very much if 'official
action will be taken on this matter. However, since each one of us has
within his scope certain unalienable ri ghts to life , liberty, and the
pursuit of education (and sleep), I sincerely urg e some action on this
matter. Per haps , the installation of equall y noisy room on the men 's
side of Waller Hall , b y w h ich we mi ght retaliate against the women,
would be the simplest and most practical solution to the problem. This
is a somewhat stern course to take , h owever , and we are hoping that
a more suitable and adequate solution may be found, (fd )

Stop, Look and Think ! . . .
According to the time-tested gem of philosophy, "You can give
advice, b ut you can 't inspire it. " Very little medita tion on the part of
the reader , no d ou b t , will lead him to the realization that this simplified
bit of observation is actually a universal truth. With very little imag ination-stretching, t h e rea d er can a ls o f oll ow t h e arrow of reason
and apply this bit of reasoning to some of his own personal pro bl ems
of life and social conduct in general. Perhaps it would even be possible to clear up a few of the campus ills that are prevalent at B.S.T.C.
today. All well and good — but , it doesn ' t take one long to recognize
the fallacy in the aforequoted quote. It should be quite evident to
everyone. Therefore , no embroidering on the subject is needed. However , a word to the wise should be sufficient. The alternative reasoning theory is, "I f they can 't listen to what they 're told , let 'em feel . . ."
or something to that effect.
In closing then , be careful where you set your footsies down
when strolling about the campus; put your cigarette butts in the ashtrays; and keep your feet off the furniture! In shorter terms: Stop,
Look, and Think! before you do it. (je)

Poetry Club Pr esents
^College Hour * Program
The Poetry Club, an extra-curricular organization on campus, presented an interesting program on the
College Hour, Tuesday, February 28.
Miss Alice Johnston is in charge of
the weekly college programs.
The program presented an example
of what goes on at a Poetry Club
meeting. The theme of the program
was a round-table discussion on poetry conceptions and the works of MacLeish, Whitman, Woodsworth and
Kipling. Those members of the club
participating included Priscilla Abbott , Marilyn Evans, Max Kaplan ,
Marie Mattis , and Alice Quick.
Miss Catherine Zealberg is the faculty sponsor of the organization.

Campus Kept Informed
By Community Criers
Singing out the news of the campus every Tuesday and Thursday
morning in Chapel is the livewire
team of Kanyuck and Kaplan. Since
both come under the tutelage of Miss
Johnston , perhaps her "I must talk
slowly, then I can talk well" technique is taking their effect. At any
rate, the boys are doing a commendable j ob in fulfilling their duties as
Campus Criers, especially when it is
considered that most of their announcements are handed to them
split seconds before "air time." The
theme song of the duet is "I Cried
for You," and the college community
certainly appreciates their efforts.
"Cal" Kanyuck hails from Glen
Lyon, Pennsylvania. He arrived on
the campus in September , 1948, as a
transfer from Wilkes College. Sci- 1
ence and mathematics interest him
most , and It is in these fields that he
has decided to concentrate. Calvin is

Lycoming Fro sh Fal l
Before Husk y J .V.'s

Locker |R|-Lingo .

*

After copping their tenth floor success last Saturday night in Centennial
Gymnasium, the Husky cagers at least assured themselves of a better than
500 percent for the entire season. With but two games remaining, the
Maroon and Gold holds a ten won and seven lost record at the present time.
No matter what the final results are, the entire squad , both JayVees and
varsity, deserve a big shout of praise for their fine performances. Few
coaches could mold a squad into a winning ball club during the first year
like Mr. Shelley did , so to everyone concerned , we can be proud and point
l.o future years and future success . . . . A few interesting notes on the
;ading basketball season as of last Monday finds the Huskies have copped
all but c/ne home game. Only the early season drubbing by powerful Temple
-n ars the perfect record. Also the local Stale.Teachers College record for
:he same period lists 6 su ccesses against 4 setbacks. No teacher rival topped
the Maroon and Gold in both meetings . . . . In meeting Wilkes on the
"oreign court tomorrow evening, the planksters campaign will draw to a
:lose, so let 's have some representation at the brawl. Last January, Wilkes
j ell to the Shell eymen 68-38, but since- that time, t h e rivai Colon els h ave

National News . . . . Pie Traynor, one of past baseball's greatest third
baseman suggested the other day that players be selected for the Hall of
Fame when they are alive rather than when their glories along with life is

York Yankees penned another contract with the big city club for a reported
$35,000. By the way, this is the highest salary ever to be paid a Yank
pitcher . . . As of February 16th, the Dunkel ratings listed these teams as
the top ten in the nation: 1. Holy Cross, 2. Ohio State, 3. Bradley, 4. LaSalle,
5, Western Kentucky State, 6. U.C.L.A., 7. Duquesne, 8. Indiana, 9. St. Johns,
10. Kentucky. According to these ratings, Holy Cross, with a 19.1 rating
would be a 35 point choice over Bloom. Is that possible? . . . . Four of
Temple's stars who helped to dump the Huskies will be lost by May

At Centennial . . . . The coming high school basketball tournament to
be held up at the gym should really prove to be a real ballyhoo of entertainment. Some of this area's best interscholastic teams will compete for
trophies provided by the college . . . . Only six of seven weeks before the
B.S.T.C. diamond season begins. Along with an attractive schedule throughout the spring months, there will also be a top notch battle come Alumni
Day. This fray will commsnfie the baseball activity for the year . . . . withir
the n ex t f ew weeks, the annual All-State Teachers College team will be
selected. Several Huskies certainly deserve recognition. Let's hop e they
get it . . . . After a terrific grind for weeks, a group of B.S.T.C. students
survived the strain to pass the life saving course held in Centennial gymnasium pool. Congratulations . . . . Tomorrow evening, the Jay Vees will
conclude their 15 game court campaign with a battle against the Wilkes
frosh in the prelim to the Shelleymen-Colonel fracas. Protecting their seven
game winning streak should really be a task against the ever - surprising
Wilkes-Barre aggegation . . . . Now that the idea has been presented in last
week's issue, how about a game between the varsity and the male faculty
members, or the frosh. What do you say, Mr. Shelley ?

Lycoming F ive Drops
65-45 Encounter with
Fast-Breaking Huskies
The Huskies had a minimum of
trouble breaking out of its most recent slump, Saturday evening, at
Centennial gym , trouncing Lycoming
College, 65-45.
A deadly fast - break entertained
the average sized crowd and broke
the backs of the Warriors. The Huskies used the breaking offense more
Saturday night than in any previous
game this season. Most of the reason
w as slipsh od passing by the visitors,
passing which more often than not
ended in a Bloomsburg hand and set
the break into motion.
Jones Starts Fast
The Huskies were off to a big lead
in the opening moments. Ed Jones
tallied nine of his dozen points in the
opening quarter and that sparked the
winners to a big 22-9 gap at the end
of the first ten minutes.
Bill Bartleson paced the scoring in
the second period when the Huskies
extended their margin to 37-19.
The second half was more even,
but it took a last minute rush by the
losers to make the score as presentable as it was.
Andrews Sparkles
Bob Andrews turned in one of his
best games of the season for the
Huskies. In addition to pumping in
13 points, the Johnstown veteran
took command of the Bloomsburg
offensive and alternately slowed down
and speeded up play as the occasion
demanded.
The Huskies held high-scoring Billy
Graff to j ust nine points , although
Graff did not concentrate on shooting
until the final period when he got his
only three field goals of the evening.
Jim Brodmerkal was the big scorer
for both teams with 19 points.
One of the" reasons Lycoming stayed fairly close to the Huskies was
foul shooting. The visitors plunked
17 for 18 from the foul line. Meanwhile, Bloomsburg converted 15 of
27.
Banull Passes 200
Walt Banull became the first Husky
to pass the 200 mark for total points
this season , his 15, Saturday, giving
him 208. Lycoming concentrated on
stopping the Husky plays that originated from Banull in the pivot , but
the ganging up proved only moderately successful.

Andrews and Banull Are Top
Husky Scorers in 80-66 Tilt

Victory number eleven rolled into
the records Wednesday evening for
the College as the Huskies blasted
Mansfield , 80-66, in Centennial gym
before a fair crowd.
Each team had four players in
double figures in the high - scoring
fray. Smoky Andrews and Walt Ban-'
ull were the top gunners for the
Huskies with 19 and 18 points, respectively. That represents Andrews'
high mark for the year.
The Huskies never lost the lead
after the opening minutes and held a
nineteen-point bulge going into the
final moments.
Coach Harold Shelly used eleven
players in the last home contest of
the Huskies. Eight of them scored.
Bobby Kashner made his final home
appearance count for -12 points, a
total matched by Don Butler.

Powers Model Pr esents Gradu ation Activities
Final Lecture In
Planne d at Friday 's
"Fu ture Perfe ct " Series Senior Class Me eting

The "Future Perfect" series of lectures by Powers models was completed on Wednesday , February 22,
with a talk by Miss Jane Abbott entitled "You and Your Wardrobe."
Miss Abbott stressed the fact that
one's wardrobe should reveal personality, not bank account. This is done
through the use of simplicity anc
originality. This means that- one
should meet the fashions halfw ay.
don't go overboard for anything
which is not becoming to you ana
your figure. Consider your figure. Ii
a style is agreeable, adapt it to yourself; if it is not agreeable and cannot
be adapted, do not try to wear it.
Always remember : it's not t he N ew
Look — it's the You Look that's important.
According to Miss Abbott , the girl
with a well-chosen basic wardrobe of
six pieces can be the envy of the girl
with a closet full of clothes. In planning a basic wardrobe, the first thing
to do is to choose a basic color. For
winter this should be black, brown,
or Navy; and for summer, it may be
white or a pastel.
First consideration is the selection
of a coat, which should be in the
basic color, f u ll length , and with selfcovered buttons. Next comes the suit ,
in the basic color, simple (this means
with no detail, but not necessarily
man-tailored), with self-covered buttons. The dress should be, again, in
the basic color ; it should be very
simple, with a high round neck ,
straight sleeves, and with a straight
skirt. It should be completely lacking
in detail.
Accessories may be of leather for
day and suede for evening. Th ey
should be very carefully chosen, as it
is these which make or break the
eff ect of the whole. A strict rule for
accessories is that shoes and bag
should always match in color and
fabric, and should be as dark or
darker than the outfit.
Another dress or suit in a high
color will add sparkle. This could be
in wool or crepe for winter , and
rayon print or crepe for summer.
This dress also should be very simple.
A list of accessories which would
give variety and versatility to such a
wardrobe would include scarfs , flowers, a collection of gloves, pearl choker and earrings, gold choker and earrings, scatter pins, stoles and shawls,
collars and cuffs , blouses , sweaters,
vests, overskirts, and panels.

BELLS AND BELLES. Whil e Mr.
Hinkle was completing a lecture to
his eight o'clock Tests and Measurements class one day last week, Rita
Dixon . . . industriously scanning a
textbook . . . entered the classroom.
When she had walked some distance
in to the roo m, Rita looked up and
discovered that she was somewhat
early f or h er nine o'clock class.
A few days later two freshman
girls who thought they were late for
their n in e o'clock class interrupted
another of Mr. Hinkle's classes.
