C.G.A. Nominees Named at Meeting
During Tuesday's General Assembly
M arine Corps Off icer
To Interview PLC
Applicants March 24

Capt. Murray O. Roe, Marine
Corps representative for the Platoon
Leaders Class program will visit the
State Teachers College in Bloomsburg on Friday, March 24, to interview and screen applicants for this
year 's summer training program
leading to regular or reserve commissions in the United States Marine
Corps.
Eligible for training under the PLC
program are college freshman and
sophomores who have reached their
17th birthdays and who will be under 25 years of age on July 1 of the
calendar year in which they will receive 'their baccalaureate degrees.
The PLC, a Marine Corps officer
procurement program established in
1935, was resumed in 1947 after interruption during World War II. Unlike the Reserve Officer Training
program, Platoon Leaders do not
take military subj ects during their
academic year. They receive all military instruction during the summer
periods of six weeks each at Quant ico, Va.
Members of the Platoon Leaders
Class are paid while on active duty
t raining, receiving $95.55 a month
during the first summer period and
$117.60' a month during the final period. They are housed and subsisted
during training and also receive
clothing, medical care and transportation to and from their homes.
During the first junior class, emphasis is placed on basic subj ects and
indoctrination, while the second year
senior class stresses tactics, qualifying the graduates as infantry troop
leaders.

Regular Meeting of
Methodist Fellowship
The Methodist College Fellowship
held a regular meeting in the social
room of the church Monday, March 6.
The theme of the evening was the
Problem of Socialized Drinking.
Natalie Laubach had charge of
the devotions which introduced the
theme. Robert Laubsher led the discussion of the pros and cons of socialized drinking. The group decided that
the reasons against drinking outweigh the reasons for it. The greatest evil of drinking is the effect on
you and others.
The fellowship was served a delicious luncheon by the Ruth Pooly
Sunday School Class. Games were
played under the direction of Lola
Deibert. Mr. Charles Henrle baffled
the students with a mental telepathy
trick with the able assistance of

Fifteen Candidates Seek
Election to Five Offices
In Forthcoming Election
Demonstrating a level of student
enthusiasm reminiscent of last year 's
hurly-burly campaigning, the 1950
C.G.A. nominations'were opened during the morning convocation last
Tuesday. Though the number of office-seekers in general was few than
expected, veteran observers feel that
a hard fought primary election looms
near on the political horizon.
Nominations for the various Community Government Association offices were as follows: Tony Grabowski and Calvin Kanyuck, president ;
Tom Anthony and Dick Kressler, vice
president; Clair Davis, Laura Philo,
Marie Mattis, Lillian Mlkvy, and
Joyce Macdougal, secretary; Alfred
Marsilio and Jim Whitney, treasurer ;
John Ryan, Bob Merrifield , Rich ard
Knause, and Barbara Johnson, assistant treasurer.
A surprise was thrown into the
nominating procedure when Don Butcofsky obtained the floor early in the
meeting and made his "beware of
false issues" speech in behalf of candidate Grab owski. Butcofski pointed
out that the real issue centered itself
neither on "banj o playing" nor on
deciding "which twin has the Toni."
He concluded his speech by presenting Grabowski as the "man of the
year." Following the nomination of
Grabowski, Max Kaplan nominated
Calvin Kanyuck and accompanied
the nomination with a brief speech
outlining the qualifications of Kanyuck.
An unusual situation exists due to
the fact that only two candidates are
seeking election to the offices of
president, vice-president, and treasurer. With regard to these offices the
primary election will be merely a
formality. The primary competition
will center itself on the offices of
secretary and assistant treasurer,
with the latter listing five candidates, and the former, four.
The meeting was presided over by
Dick Wagner, C.G.A. president. Prior
to the meeting a short educational
film entitled "Better Schools for Our
Children" was shown.

Newman Clu b Meets
At St. Columba 's Hall
The Newman Club held a meeting
Monday, March 6, in St. Columbia 's
Hall, with John Burns, president, presiding over the activities.
After a short business session,
Thomas Concannon, of Bloomsburg,
gave a review of Father Keller 's newly published book, YOU CAN
CHANGE THE WORLD.
A social hour followed the evening 's
program. The committees were as
follows : Decoration: Eileen McHugh ,
chairman ; Mary Condon , Don Welker,
Robert Burns, and Santo Prete ; Publicity : Mary Lou Todd and Kathryn
Graham; Entertainment: Joe Repash ,
chairman ; Paul Plevyak, John Shennahan, Joan Greco, Rosie Domaleski,
and George Rassner; Refreshments :
John Ryan, chairman; Edward Vaulau kus, Gerry Radzai, Joan Cuff , Alice
Gouba, and Peggy Fitzsimmons;
Spiritual Bouquet Committee: Alfred
Marsilio.

Methodist Fellowship

The bi-monthly meeting of Methodist College Fellowship was h e l d
Monday evening from 7:30 to 10:30
in the social rooms of the church.
The theme of the program was "Social Alcoholism," The discussion was
led by Bob Laubscher. After the
meeting, recreation and refreshments
were provided. Approximately thirty
students attend these meetings regularly.

College Stude nts Without Blood? . . . .
Just about twenty-five members of the college community have
given their pledge to donate blood to the Red Cross. Certainl y, more
members of the college community should be willing and able to contribute to such a worthy cause. Any in divi dual between t h e ages o f
15-60 in good physical condition may donate blood. Of course, it will

Wh y not r eg ister t od ay ? All you simply have to do is fill out a card
which may be secured from Dr . Satterfield upon request.
It will interest you to know that the Red Cross sets up a Blood
Donor Bank once every two years in a specific community. The Elk's
Auditorium has been chosen as this year 's site. All donations received
will be taken to Wilkes-Barre Center where they will either be used
as whole blood for transfusions or be broken down into certain blood
derivatives for use in special cases.
Without question , many lives can be saved with your small contributions. It is not necessary to donate a full pint. Remember , also ,
that you are not obligated to fulfill your pled ge even t h o u g h you h ave

So do not delay any longer. There is nothing to the actual
"doning. " Sign up today by contacting Dr. Satterfield at any reasonable time, (dp )

Getting Your Money 's Worth . . . .
Whenever we buy something we always want the most and the
best for the amount of money we pay. To do this we always shop
around finding the best bargains before we buy, endeavoring to stretch
the American dollar to its elastic limit. The opinions of our friends
very often have a large influence upon the decisions of our purchases ,
hoping to profit by their experiences. One of the statements a salesman hears very often is, "I want nothing but the best. " The American
people have become so quality conscious that laws are enforced demanding the quality to be marked on many products.
Quality is also a big factor in buying, sin ce everyon e wants t h e
most for their money; we always check closel y to be c ertain w e h ave
all we deserve.
This however , is not true of education since we seldom get our
money 's worth of that. Most of us came here only al ter we had
closely checked this college against other colleges. Information for
this was gathered from various sources. Since we chose to come here
after a reasonable investigation the quality of education that can be
attained here is evidently satisfactory. The policy of getting the most
for our money, that we follow in purchasing, is not followed in education. No one ever gets their money 's worth in education since the
amount of knowledge that may be acquired by any student depends
not upon the institution but upon the student. We would rather cop>{.
an assignment , so we could keep that date tonig ht, than we would di g
it out for ourselves and learn something. All of us have been guilty
of this at one time or another.
Unlike material things, knowledge cannot be taken from us. It is
a treasured possession which never decreases in value, The onl y keys
required to unlock the vast store of knowledge which has accumulated
throug h the ages are time , thoug ht , and effort. The next time you
allow knowledge to pass you by, remember the future belongs to those
who prepare for it.

By walloping the Wilkes College Colonels 83-59 last Saturday night in
Wilkes-Barre, the Husky Courtmen concluded their 1949-50 season with a
record of twelve wins and seven losses. The power-laden Jayvees also
copped their twelfth decision against three setbacks in drubbing the home
team frosh 60-38. It was the Pups ninth straight success . . . . Since the
Frosh Dribblers sported such a fine record for the past season, Mr. Shelley's
jo b should be a much easier task come next season with such fine reserve
strength . . . . Final season figures on every player will be listgd in either
this week's issue or next week's p a p e r . . . . In looking over the past season's
losses, only two were lost beyond hope — those battles with high-riding
LaSalle and Temple. All the other five defeats were by narrow margins and
could have gone either way. In all five cases, the victory wasn't posted on
our side of the ledger . . . .
National News . . . . Holy Cross, the nation 's previously only undefeated
floor quintet, tasted their first loss last Saturday night at the hands of
upset-minded Columbia. It was the Crusader 's first setback in twenty-nine
games . . . Wilkes College, Maroon and Gold rival, broke ground for their
new $250,000 gymnasium this week. Previously, Wilkes used the Y.M.C.A.
for their basketball tilts . . . Major League training camps are now in full
swing for all sixteen clubs. With still plenty of time before the mid-April
opening tussels, the same stars who continually shove their teams to the top
are performing magnificently already . . . . San Francisco, last year's
N.C.A.A. tourney champs, will get another crack at the New York playoffs
next week. The Pacific Coast squad was the eighth team to be invited for the
championship frays . . . . According to pre-season experts, the Diamond
Crowns for next October 's World Series will be placed on the Dodger 's and

Four Veteran Hurlers
On Pitching Staff for
1950 Baseb all Season
When Coach Redman called for
baseball practice a few weeks ago,
seven pitchers were in the group reporting. Four of these hurlers are
veterans from last season. The other
three are freshmen, hoping to gain a
berth on a team that racked up thirteen successive victories last year
without a defeat .
Among the experienced men returning is Michael Evans. He is a
right-hander from Wilkes-Barre. This
is Mike's third season . Mike had five
wins during last year's campaign.
One outstanding feat of this hurler's
career took place in a game against
Wilkes College last spring. The
Huskies were behind 5-4 in the last
inning and had one man on base. All
Mike did was belt a homer and give
Bloom a 7-5 win.
Southpaw William Byham will begin his second year as a member of
the pitching staff. Bill hails from
Kane and recorded six wins last year.
Besides his pitching ability, Bill is
qui te a handy-man with a bat in his
hands.
Another southpaw returning to

Brunn who bails from Nanticoke.

Tournament for near-by high schools. Plenty of action has taken place this
past week on the Hill Court , and plenty more thrills are in the offing at this
week's tilts. In addition to giving the interscholastic boys something to aim
for at the end of the regular campaign , this tournament is also acting as a
fine ambassador of public relations for the College . . . Now that the Husky
cage season has ended , B.S.T.C.'s two maj or spring sports, track and baseball take the limelight in a few weeks. Both Coaches, Shelley and Redman
have high hopes that their squads will repeat or even better last year's
marks. Several new and attractive teams embrace both schedules , so we
can expect plenty of action on College Hill for the rest of the regular school
year. Mr. Redman has several boys out for the diamond squad, and expects
a few more since the basketball boys have called it quits. A more discouraging report comes from Mr. Shelley though — more signees are needed for
the track team if it too is to be a crack outfit . . . .

It is the opinion of this writer that the motion picture, "Hamlet ," should
go down in history as one of the screen 's finest. This man Lawrence Olivier
reveals in his superb abilities as an actor just how amateurish and ineffective
some (or most) of the other members of his profession really are.
Before seeing "Hamlet, " my ears pick ed u p the "opinions " of the various
critics running about loose. The picture was contrasted to "Henry V,"
;which I did see) starred in and directed by the same person, Lawrence
Jli v ier . Whereas "Henry V" was spectacle, background, and magnanimity,
"Hamlet" was sheer acting and portrayal genius. A man named Shakespeare
wrote both works.
"Hamlet," possibly Shakespeare 's greatest piece of work , was a natural
for cinema production. To obtain the right effect, the play could never be
filmed in anything but black and white. The scenes and sets never varied
greatly. In shor t, the picture is a success or failure purely on the capabilities
of its acting personnel. As I said previously, it should be rated as one of the
screen's finest triumphs.
When you stop to realize that Olivier starred in AND directed the
picture, it may strike you as to the fine abilities of the man. It has always
amazed me the way in which an excellent performer is able to let himself
fall naturally and effortlessly into such a dynamic, revealing role as the one
of the conflict-torn , wily Hamlet created by the master of them all, Shakespeare.
To those who have seen the picture and thought about it in all its phases,
which impressed you more, the superb presentation in acting and directing
by Lawrence Oliver or are you reminded once again of the competence and
style in the subj ect approach of the incomparable William Shakespeare?

Campus Talent Shines How It 's Done . . ?
On College Broadcast
Over Station W.C.N.R.
The weekly college hour broadcast
over st ation WCNR last Tuesd ay
featured a group of talented college
people who presented a well-balanced
musical program. The "College Hour "
is presented every Tuesday afternoon
from 2:30 to 3:00 p.m. over the local
radio station. Mi§§ Alice Johnston is
the faculty sponsor.
Those hearing the program would
find it very similar to that which was
presented in assembly on February
28 except for the fact that it was a
radio broadcast and therefore found
no need of being in a "su pposed" radio form. Thus, no "word from our
sponsor , The Nitecap Brewing Company."
Ben Burness was the college announcer. Those who participated in
the program include: Edgar (Sonny)
Coleman who sang two solos, a duet
by Joe Curilla and Claire Davis, and
also in the line of vocal selections
the "Campus Four," Dick Wagne r,
Charles Edwards, Emory Rarig, and
Jack Wintersteen sang a number. In
contrast to the vocal selections Emory Rarig played "The Triumph" on
the organ. Tom Jones, a .sophomore,
proved to be very versatile on the
mirimba accompanied on the piano
by Dick Wagner. This group of noteworthy artists are congratulated for
their fine performance.

Half-Century Athlete
