1949 Class Memorial
Un d er C onstruct i on
In Inner Court
Undoubtedly everyone has noti ced the uprooting of the flower
bed in Inner Court and the beginning of the erection of "something
new." This "something new " will
be a fountain , presented by the
Class of 1949 as a memorial.
Th e design will bo a circular
cement pop) with brick veneer. It
will be a color-change fountain ,
changing the water color to blue ,
amber, red , and green , with three
heights of water shooting upward.
The source of the water is to be
found in a circulation pump located in the basement of Waller
Hall. The water works in a circular motion ; after f alling to the
bottom of the pool, suction conveys it back to the pump, where
it is used again.
The fountain was designed by
Mr. Sharretts, Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds, a nd the
work is being done by the college
maintenance department.
It will not be in operation until
next spring, although the cement
pool will probably be completed
before very cold weather commences. The date of dedication has
not been definitely set because of
uncertainty of getting materials.
The Class of 1949 has given $500
for this memorial, although the
actual cost will be approximately
$750.
Class in Ethics
Conducts Project
On Lounge Problem
The Ethics class of the college
is currently conducting a survey
to consider the problem of misuse
of f urniture on the college lounge.
Dr. Marguerite Kehr is the instructor for the course.
The survey will be made through
a poll of as many students as can
be contacted by members of the
class. The poll bears such questions as the following :
Are you satisfied with the general condition of the lounge ?
Have you been guilty in any
way for misuse of the lounge ?
Would you be willing to serve
on a com m i t tee to restore law and
order to the lounge ?
Should destroyers of property
be punished ?
Where do you think the money
comes from for the furnishings of
the lounge ?
Who do you think should be responsible for reporting offenders ?
Why do you think that people

L.SA* Holds Party
And Scavenger Hunt
On Monday evening, October 30,
the Luthera n Student Association
held a Halloween Party for its
members. Games, including a scavenger hunt , were played. Among
the items on the list for the hunt
were a pair of men's orange socks,
a yellow bathing suit , license plate,
an ant , and autographs from the
school librarian on duty .
The committees in charge of
the affair were as follows: entertainment , Calvin Kanyuck, Gloria
Benner, Marilyn Kuschel, Janice
Pugh ; decorations, Dick Kressler;
refreshments, Eleanor Johnson ,
Marie Parrish , and Lorraine Wagaman.
The Business Education Club
held its regular meeting on Thursday, November 2, 195U, in Navy
Hall Audrtorium.
Mr. Martin Stewart , Personnel
Manager of the Magee Carpet
Company , told the club what business expects of an employee, and
he also explained how one snould
apply for an office position. He
shocked the club by stating that
he has actually had girl s come in
to apply for an office position, with
their hair in pin curls, and some
fellows have come in wearing blue
j eans and polo shirts. Of course,
students from our Business Department know better, as Nancy
Swartz demonstrated in a mock
interview with Mr. Stewart on
"How to Apply for a Position. "
Mr. Stewart' enlighten ed the
club with the other side of the
picture — what the company, in
this case the Magee Carpet Company, does when someone applies
for a position ; having applicant
fill out application blank; interviewing the applicant ; calling of
applicant when opening is present; giving tests, such as were
used in the Armed Services;
checking as to references; and
passing credentials through several hands before final choice is
made.
The session ended with Mr.
Stewart's a n s w e r i n g questions
from the floor, clearing many of
the club's queries pertaining to
general business.

Added to Faculty
Of Training School
Russell F. Schleicher is the new
fifth grade teacher at the Benj amin Franklin Training School.
He comes to Bloomsburg from
Palmerton where he was principal
of the Elementary School.
Mr. Schl^j cher graduated from
Kutztown State Teachers College
in 1927, taking a two year elementary course. He began teaching at
the age of eighteen. Taking post
graduate work at Pennsylvania
State College, he received his B.S.
d egree in 1934. In 1948, he received his M.A. degree from Lehigh
University.
Mr. Schleicher en j oys teaching
in the training school because it
offers freedom to both teacher and
children. The teacher is allowed
more freedom in methods of teaching; the children are less restricted than in a traditional elementary school. He thinks the idea of
observation is good because it
helps the pupils to realize that
other people are interested in
them.
Mr. Schleicher likes the town of
Bloomsburg. He says, "It has a
distinctly different flavor from
towns."
The instructor is married and
has three children.

Phi Sigma Pi, national honorary
educational fraternity for men,
held its informal initiation on November 8, 1950, in the old gym.
Seventeen pledgees participated in
the program. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Robert Sickinger.
The first pledgee to take the
spotlight was Mike Dorak, who
gave a discourse on marriage. Mr.
Dorak offered some "helpf ul advice" to prospective husbands and
wives. The oration gained a round
of applause.
Don ald Cesare contin ued the
ceremonies with a recitation of
"Trees " by Joyce Kilmer. He was
followed by Jack Williams, who
literally brought down the roof
with his imitations of a. "dummy."
The audience went into riotous
laughter when Walt Troutman
presented his imitations of prominent personalities.
Charles Brennan sang his own
version of "Mammy." Next, Harold Carey, dressed for the occasion, gave the audience a glimpse
of "Life in Greenwich Village."
Vincent Nawrocki made his debut as a ventriloquist. Edward
Slikes gave his performance by
proposing marriage to Maynard
Herring. George Baksi acquainted
the student body with some new
points of view on education when
he delivered his philesephy on
B. S. T. C. James Creveling completed the round of solo performances with an entertaining act.
A burst of applause arose in the
gym when the Phi Sigma Pi Chorus* Line made its appearance. The
quartet composed of Homer Zeigler, Henry Hurtt , George Reck,
and Claude Renninger, brought
the program of the evening to a
close.
The formal initiation of the
pledgees took place the following
evening in the social rooms of
Science Hall.
The obj ective of the fraternity
is to maintain a professional educational fraternity for men in
teacher-training institutions. It endeavors to advance ideals of education , promote fellowship, improve the quality of teachers, and
uphold justice and efficiency of
government. Officers of the group
are Gerald Bacon, president; Merlin Beachell, vice-president; James
Whitney, secretary ; and Lewis
Ballantine , treasurer.
Students Hold Big
Rally and Parade
Before Wilkes Game
The town of Bloomsburg knew
there was a college on the hill on
Friday, November 3, when BSTC
held a pep rally with all the trimmings: cheerleaders, a bonfire , a
parade of fraternity pledgees, and
an automobile parade and snake
dance led by a lovely Queen. The
affair wound up with a square
dance, sponsored by the Day Men 's
Association, in the College lounge.
The pep rally was held in anticipation of the BSTC-Wilkes College football game, which was
played on Saturday afternoon ; and
college spirit reached a new high
as the Huskies neared the end of
the 1950 gridiron season.
The rally opened on the Benj amin Franklin School playground
with a bonfire and a parade of Phi
Sigma Pi pledgees; the cheerleaders, assisted by the Maroon and
Gold Band , led the assemblage in
college cheers and songs. Coach
Redman made a few brief remarks; then the lovely Queen of
the pep rally, Joan Enama , was
introduced.
The group then adjourned to the
Colonnade, where the automobile

deed t a timel y one. During the World War , we made our battlecry "Make the world safe for democracy " but now we know only
the strong can survive and that no democracy is safe unless the
people of that democracy are strong.
A fundamental step in making America strong is the building
of physical fitness. Selective Service has called to our attention
some of our physical defects. The encouraging fact that today
we are in better physical condition than at the time of the World
War shows that our education is producing results. Since much
of our lack of physical fitness is caused by an inadequate diet
due to poor earning power , it is our duty to strive for the economic
well-being of the nation, This should be no nation where wealth
accumulates and men decay. Once the economic insecurity of
society is overcome, the main threat to emotional stability will
have keen removed.
Once the people are physically fit and emotionall y stable , we
have gone a long way toward strengthening national morale, It is
our schools ' duty to give the children daily experiences in democratic living so that they may see the advantages of perpetuating
this form of government regardless of the type of government
predominating in the ' world outside our nation. Through education we must build up a morale which will be unshaken no matter
what crises arise.
Another problem in building a strong America is the safeguarding of school support. In times like these there is always a
tendency to curtail expenditures and the schools will be the first
to suffer unless we can justify the cost of the schools by showing
their value in maintaining a aemocracy,
The last problem in building a stron g American is insuring
the cooperation of home and school . These two things , more than
all other factors , mold the lives of the youth of America, When
they are working hand in hand , we shall have a sound basis upon

Glances Behind the Scenes
In the Day Men 's Room
To the students of this school who do not recognize those
strange characters that appear in miscellaneous classes , let us tell
you about them. They are the forgotten people who are called
day men.
These people arrive here at the college from communities
such as Shamokin , Catawissa , Danville , an d other out-of-the-way
places. They travel in luxurious limousines or beat up jalo pies
from their respective haunts and then converge in a place called
t h e d ay men 's room in Noetling Hall.
These people, some three hundred strong, are led by Jim
Cannon , who is the president of the Day Men 's Association; John
Seebold, who is vice president; George Young, secretary; and
Robert Hileman , treasurer.
Let us look closer into the haunt from which these day men
emerge. We will see upon entering the door a room which has
many tables. On these tables may be found collections of books ,
bottles of soft drink , a ch ess or ch eck er boar d , or a part ly consumed lunch. Around these tables in all probability we would see
some day men in a discussion which migh t center upon an invo lve d
probl em of calcu l us , a well-delivered opinion about some faculty
mem b er , or oration on why the Phillies are the best baseball team.
The average person might obtain a well-rounded college education
by listening to the cussings and discussions of these square-table
conrerences.
In furthering our investigation , we mi gh t see at a ta bl e two
fellows who seem to be doing imitations of "The Thinker "; but , in
reality , they are absorbed in planning an intricate maneuver in
chess. We might also see an amateur two-some playing checkers;
t h ese are f res h man an d k now no bett er .
A t on e en d of t h e room , the brash beat of boogie or the restful rh ythm of the classics wells from the small radio and , upon
occasio n , Jo hn 's Other Wife sneaks across from the speaker. At
times , an eager group of Philly fans are hunched about the set in
nervous anticipation. From the other end of the room we can hear
the staccato of a snore from someone assuming a prone position
on one of the four soft sofas.
The noon hour brings the assorted members of this organization trooping into the room and every chair and sofa is quickly
occupied. Here the great moment arrives . . . from the well equipped kitchen comes the appetizing aroma of coffee such as onl yGeorge Young can brew. Lunch is served by digg ing into homeprepared lunches and washing the sandwiches down with the delicious coffee. Then the square-table discussions start anew and
are only quieted by the ringing of the class warning bell. The
occupants of the room disperse and are engulfed by various classrooms.
At the stroke of four, they scurry off to their abodes in
Shamokin , Catawissa , Danville, and other outlandish places. The
day room is deserted, but tomorrow they will be back full of desire to learn jus t a little more.
There are other things which the day men do to bring credit
to the school. For instance , this year they have held a square
dance; and later on they will sponsor a student smoker. In this
way, they contribute generously to student activities. In the future,
they plan to participate more full y in the college program by setting up a scholarship for some needy student.
So fellow students, if these strange characters-appear in your
classes, don ' t worry because they disappear from this community
dail y at the four o'clock bell.

The mud-spattered Huskies emerged victorious from the muck of
Mount Olympus on Saturday morning, November 4, by giving Indiana State Teachers College a 6-0

Undismayed by the sea of mud
which covered the field , the Shellymen scored in the opening minutes of the game as Gearhart's
drive slid through the fingers of
the Indiana goalie. This ended the
scoring for the first half as the
water-soaked ball refused to be

ball into the cords, a nd a few
minutes later Bickert's penalty
kick followed it.
As the third quarter waned,
Purgele entered the scoring column by scoring from a touch line
kick that squirmed from the goalie 's fingers,
In the fourth quarter , Pague
tallied on a penalty kick as Coach
Shelly emptied his bench of substitutes. The clay-soaked ball was
again pounded through by Thompson in the last minute of the game,
leaving the Maroon and Gold with
a 6-0 win.
This game ended the 1950 season for the Bloomsburg soccer
squad. The Shellymen won four
games and lost three in a season
of hard games and tough competition.

Locker ¦!-Lingo

West Chester, here we come! Th at is the cry on the campus this
week as the Huskies prepare to journey to the downstate school for the
toughest battle of the season. Thus far, the Tutors, who will serve as
hosts, have lost, but one game ; that was to "big time" Delaware University . Last week they bowled over Moravian , 20-0, aiid attempted 32
passes in the process of the rout. The Huskies can expect an aerial
assault such as they have not seen all season. Student spirit here on
the Hill seems at an all time high , and Bloomsburg should have a
terrifi c backing at the tilt. See you at West Chester!
Last Saturday afternoon , Wilkes provided more opposition than
expected, and probably played their best game of the current campaign.
It seems that they were up for the game, and Maroon and Gold weren 't
as sharp as usual. Al Nicholas, speedy hack for Wilkes, was perhaps the
best runner that the Huskies have played against all season. The game
was a thriller all the way; and despite the 27-7 score, the Colonels provided the strongest opposition for the Redmen so far this season.
Stellar fullback Danny Parrell ran for his finest gain of the season
on the first play from scrimmage, racing 80 yards for his eleventh T.D.
of the campaign. Three cheers for Danny in another department: the
Hazleton Flash's smiling picture made the sports section of last Sunday 's Philadelphia Inquirer.
Coach Shelly 's soccer boys ended the season on a fiine note by
dribbling past Indiana Teachers, 6-0, for their easier win of the year.
Their final record stands four successes against three defeats. Now the
versatile Shelly shifts his attention to basketball; daily practice sessions
have been held all this week.
Apologies to Mr. Redman , who was one hundred percent correct in
stating that the Wilkes score would not be 40-7 as picked by this
crystal ball. Maybe the fog of the Huskies past record interfered with
a correct prediction. The wet field may have made a difference, too.
The state now has five undefeated grid elevens. Little Thiel College,
never mentioned heretofore as boasting a perfect slate had one all this
time and it hadn 't even been noticed. Here are the state teams that hold
unblemished records: Thiel, Lehigh , F & M , Carnegie Tech, and Bloomsburg. Drexel bowed for the first time this week to Western Maryland.
Thiel still leads the state in defense , having had only 13 points chalked
up against them, and the Huskies are still a close second, with 21 points.
The prediction corner now has a percentage of 800, having picked
fourteen out of fifteen last Saturday , and 28 out of 35 for the season.
This week's selections are as follows :

hallowed halls of Men 's Waller

housing shortage was so severe
that wo could not entertain one
"guest" f rom West Chester ; he

This reminder of the coming
grid battle with the powerful
Rams was conceived and constructed by two spirited sophomores of
Waller Hall, Henry Hurtt and Jim
Whlbley, with the cooperation of
the football managerial staff , who
produced the needed equipment.
The boys said the "guest" would

Coach Redman 's Huskies defeated a pepped-up group of Wilkes
' College gridders 27-7 at Athletic
Park last Saturday afternoon before a sparse crowd of loyal Husky rooters.
The play of the Maroon and
Gold , in sp ots , was very sluggish;
and time after time the Wilkes'
forward wall outcharged that of
the Huskies.
Dan Parrell , top scorer in the
state with sixty-six points, star t ed
things off with a bang on the first
play of the game with an 80 yard
touchdown run through the middle of the Wilkes defense. Tavalsky kicked the extra point, and it
looked like another romp for the
Huskies.
But Wilkes , ignoring the results
of the Huskies' previous games,
drove the ball with ease down to
the Bloomsburg 23 following the
kickoff. Here the attack stalled,
and the Maroon and Gold took
over.
After an exchange of punts, the
Huskies rolled to th e Wilkes 20,
only to lose the ball on a pass
interception on the Wilkes 14.
Wilkes pun ted out to the midfiel d, and on the first play, P arrell
fumbled. Wilkes took over and
also fumbled on th e first play,
with the Huskies' John Nemetz
re covering on the Wilkes 46.
Spa ck then attempted another
pass which was again intercepted,
this time on the Wilkes 20; it was
returned 34 yards by Nicholas, the
Wilkes backfield star , who played
brilli antly all afternoon. Nicholas
f umbled as he was hit, and , ironically, Spack recovered.
The Huskies picked up a firs t
down on the Wilkes 41; then
Spack faded back and hit end Ed
Tavalsky , who was alone near the
left side line, for a touchdown.
Tavalsky again converted the extra point, and Bloomsburg led 140. The half ended with no further
scoring.
Wilkes received the kickoff following the intermission and showed that the game was far from
over; they drove 74 yards to register what turned out to be their
lone tally of the game. The at, tempt for the extra point was
good , and Wilkes was back in the
game.
A few m in ut es l ater , Bob Lang ,
who played stand-out ball all day,
intercepted a Wilkes pass on the
Husky 40 an d , with some good
blo cks , returned the ball to the
Wilkes 43. This was the steppingstone to the third Husky score.
Spack , Osevala, and Lang alternated carrying the ball, and eight
plays later Barney (Osevala)
plunged over. Tavalsky again made
the conversion good , and things
were looking brighter for the Maroon and Gold.
After the ensuing kickoff , Osevala intercepted a Wilkes pass;
this time the attack was stalled
by a penalty on the Wilkes 19.
Wilkes fumbled on their second
play, and center Tom McLaughlin
recovered on the Wilkes 18. This
chance went for naught when a
fourth down pass was batted down
by the alert Wilkes defense.
Wilkes drove to the Husky 46
before Nicholas, a t t e mp t i n g a
fourth down pass, was thrown
back to the Wilkes 39.
In three plays the Huskies had
another score. Joe Kaprilick entered the Husky line-up and circled his own right end for ten
yards and very close to a first
down on the Wilkes 30. Osevala

Cage Opponents ,
Please Note
Coach Harold Shelly, basketball mentor , reported that he
has 16 captains of high school
teams among the aspirants for
positions on the Husky basketball team this year. This should
prove to be both good and bad
news — good for Bloomsburg
and bad for Its opponents.
This Is the first time in a
number of years that material
of this caliber has been available to our coaches. We should
bear in mind that team captains are "usually " rated as
one of the best players of their
particular squads.
Many Students Leaving
Campus to Attend Season 's
Big Gridiron Attraction
It may be the eve of Armistice
Day, but you 'll n ever know it tonight when the undefeated Bloomsburg Huskies clash with the oncebeaten West Chester Golden Rams
in the game which has been termed "the Battle of the Year." All
past records and predictions will
be cast aside as these two j uggernauts meet, and you can bet that
coaches Bob Redman , of the Huskies, and Glenn Killinger, of the
Rams, will use all their wiles and
material in an effort to win.
A general invasion of the West
Chester campus will take place as
the Maroon and Gold Band and
che erleaders will lead many
Bloomsburg-bannered cars to the
scene of the struggle. This army
of students will undoubtedly provide great moral support to the
drive of the Huskies. Coach Redman 's statement that "the spirit
of the team is lifted by the following and spirit of the students" will
certainly be proved at this gigantic contest.
Meanwhile, commanding ueneral Redman has been drilling his
charges arduously the past week.
Following the hard-fought victory
over Wilkes , the coach has had to
patch up many bruises and wounds
in both his men and his attack ;
and when the golden-clad Huskies
take the field tonight, their ground
and aerial attack will be at the
highest possible peak.
The professor of the gridiron
will open with the same offensive
unit the past six contests have
seen. His defensive unit will show
a sligh t variation from the offense,
as John Nemetz and Russ Looker
will move into the tackle slots and
possibly the inj ured "Ziggy" Ziegenf use will occupy one of the
guard spots. In the defensive backfield , safety-man Dave Linkchorst
will move in along with B'arn ey
Oseval a, who is also a terrific
scoring punch on the offense when
relieving fullback Dan Parrell.
From the West Chester camp,
the report comes that General
Glenn Killinger 's Golden Rams escaped any serious inj ury in their
conquest of Moravian College last
week and will be at full strength
for tonight's contest. His offensive
u nit , revolving around the quarterbacking of senior Wayne Schneider, will show speed and hard driving play. The Husky defense will
bang helmets with big Jack Eutsler, who will anchor the line at
center. He will be flanked by cocaptain "Beef" McKenzie and the
fast-charging John Pancelli at the
guard positions. The tackle slots
will show Charlie Weber and 250pound Bill Foltz; at the terminals,
Bill McLarnon and Chuck Reese
will show their wares.
Besides the crafty Schneider,
the backfield will find three of the
best backs the Huskies have met
this year. Co-captain "Roundy "
Waldman , rated one of the greatest backs ever to don a Ram suit,

Max Kaplan 's 1937 sedan had
another dent this week !
Sunday night , about 7:30 P.M.,
on the outskirts of Berwick, Max
Kaplan made a quick stop. The
truck in back of him didn't.
Max and his wife were on their
way home fiom Port Chester, New
York, where they had gone to attend the wedding of a friend. Just
twelve miles short of their destina t ion , on the road to Bloomsburg,
the car in front of them came to
a sudden halt. ' Max applied his
brakes. The cattle-truck right behind him , unable to make a quick
stop, tried to avoid an accident by
swerving to the right. He was almost successful, but not quite. His
left front tire collided with the
right rear fender of Max 's sedan ,
fla ttening it considerably .
Max and Mrs. Kaplan escaped
inj ury, and so di'd the cattle. The
driver of the cattle-truck was

Three Types . .
by Ann Gengenbach
There are two ways to enter a
class; one way is with an open
mind and the other is with a pre judiced one. Have you ever heard
anyone murmur , "I j ust hate this
class " before crossing the threshhold into what seems eternal boredom ?
Our minds should be cleared of
all past experiences upon entering
such a class. Think to yourself , "I
could enj oy this class, if I t ook a
little interest in the mater."
If you j ust sit in the class, not
entering into the discussion , naturally the subj ect will seem boresome and tiri ng. All of us have
noticed the person , who, a fter
prancing around town until all
hours, sits in the back of the
classroom "dozing."
Then there is th e type which
sees nothing but the clock. They
just about count the seconds in
each minute. One , two, three , (oh ,
there I go again) at last fifty
minutes are up. "Class excused"
seems to be music to their ears.
"I' m forever blowing daydreams "
seems to be the third type 's
theme. He j ust sits and stares.
Stares at nothing !
A little more interest and participation in class will help make
it a much more bearable, oops,
understand able one.
A Note of Tha nks
Orchids to those who serve us.
By serving us, I mean those who
cater to us in the dining hall. It
isn 't as easy as you think to carry
those tr ays. There are many qualities which help make good waitresses or waiters, such as speed,
cleanliness , efficiency, and courtesy. Do you thank your particular waiter for serving you properly ? It will make him feel good
inside if you do. After all, he is
serving you!
According to information received from the President's office,
there are 134 students employed
by the college. Twenty-seven are
clerks in t he offi ces, forty-two are
waiters in the dining hall, fortynine are helpers in the kitchen
and cafeteria , and sixteen work as
laborers. No student is allowed to
work more than 25 hours a week.
Pay ranges from 35 cents to 50
cents an hour. President Andruss
estimated a student payroll of
$3,000 dollars a month.
This does not include the students who work in town or at
private homes.

1949 Class Memorial
Un d er C onstruct i on
In Inner Court
Undoubtedly everyone has noti ced the uprooting of the flower
bed in Inner Court and the beginning of the erection of "something
new." This "something new " will
be a fountain , presented by the
Class of 1949 as a memorial.
Th e design will bo a circular
cement pop) with brick veneer. It
will be a color-change fountain ,
changing the water color to blue ,
amber, red , and green , with three
heights of water shooting upward.
The source of the water is to be
found in a circulation pump located in the basement of Waller
Hall. The water works in a circular motion ; after f alling to the
bottom of the pool, suction conveys it back to the pump, where
it is used again.
The fountain was designed by
Mr. Sharretts, Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds, a nd the
work is being done by the college
maintenance department.
It will not be in operation until
next spring, although the cement
pool will probably be completed
before very cold weather commences. The date of dedication has
not been definitely set because of
uncertainty of getting materials.
The Class of 1949 has given $500
for this memorial, although the
actual cost will be approximately
$750.
Class in Ethics
Conducts Project
On Lounge Problem
The Ethics class of the college
is currently conducting a survey
to consider the problem of misuse
of f urniture on the college lounge.
Dr. Marguerite Kehr is the instructor for the course.
The survey will be made through
a poll of as many students as can
be contacted by members of the
class. The poll bears such questions as the following :
Are you satisfied with the general condition of the lounge ?
Have you been guilty in any
way for misuse of the lounge ?
Would you be willing to serve
on a com m i t tee to restore law and
order to the lounge ?
Should destroyers of property
be punished ?
Where do you think the money
comes from for the furnishings of
the lounge ?
Who do you think should be responsible for reporting offenders ?
Why do you think that people

L.SA* Holds Party
And Scavenger Hunt
On Monday evening, October 30,
the Luthera n Student Association
held a Halloween Party for its
members. Games, including a scavenger hunt , were played. Among
the items on the list for the hunt
were a pair of men's orange socks,
a yellow bathing suit , license plate,
an ant , and autographs from the
school librarian on duty .
The committees in charge of
the affair were as follows: entertainment , Calvin Kanyuck, Gloria
Benner, Marilyn Kuschel, Janice
Pugh ; decorations, Dick Kressler;
refreshments, Eleanor Johnson ,
Marie Parrish , and Lorraine Wagaman.
The Business Education Club
held its regular meeting on Thursday, November 2, 195U, in Navy
Hall Audrtorium.
Mr. Martin Stewart , Personnel
Manager of the Magee Carpet
Company , told the club what business expects of an employee, and
he also explained how one snould
apply for an office position. He
shocked the club by stating that
he has actually had girl s come in
to apply for an office position, with
their hair in pin curls, and some
fellows have come in wearing blue
j eans and polo shirts. Of course,
students from our Business Department know better, as Nancy
Swartz demonstrated in a mock
interview with Mr. Stewart on
"How to Apply for a Position. "
Mr. Stewart' enlighten ed the
club with the other side of the
picture — what the company, in
this case the Magee Carpet Company, does when someone applies
for a position ; having applicant
fill out application blank; interviewing the applicant ; calling of
applicant when opening is present; giving tests, such as were
used in the Armed Services;
checking as to references; and
passing credentials through several hands before final choice is
made.
The session ended with Mr.
Stewart's a n s w e r i n g questions
from the floor, clearing many of
the club's queries pertaining to
general business.

Added to Faculty
Of Training School
Russell F. Schleicher is the new
fifth grade teacher at the Benj amin Franklin Training School.
He comes to Bloomsburg from
Palmerton where he was principal
of the Elementary School.
Mr. Schl^j cher graduated from
Kutztown State Teachers College
in 1927, taking a two year elementary course. He began teaching at
the age of eighteen. Taking post
graduate work at Pennsylvania
State College, he received his B.S.
d egree in 1934. In 1948, he received his M.A. degree from Lehigh
University.
Mr. Schleicher en j oys teaching
in the training school because it
offers freedom to both teacher and
children. The teacher is allowed
more freedom in methods of teaching; the children are less restricted than in a traditional elementary school. He thinks the idea of
observation is good because it
helps the pupils to realize that
other people are interested in
them.
Mr. Schleicher likes the town of
Bloomsburg. He says, "It has a
distinctly different flavor from
towns."
The instructor is married and
has three children.

Phi Sigma Pi, national honorary
educational fraternity for men,
held its informal initiation on November 8, 1950, in the old gym.
Seventeen pledgees participated in
the program. Master of Ceremonies for the event was Robert Sickinger.
The first pledgee to take the
spotlight was Mike Dorak, who
gave a discourse on marriage. Mr.
Dorak offered some "helpf ul advice" to prospective husbands and
wives. The oration gained a round
of applause.
Don ald Cesare contin ued the
ceremonies with a recitation of
"Trees " by Joyce Kilmer. He was
followed by Jack Williams, who
literally brought down the roof
with his imitations of a. "dummy."
The audience went into riotous
laughter when Walt Troutman
presented his imitations of prominent personalities.
Charles Brennan sang his own
version of "Mammy." Next, Harold Carey, dressed for the occasion, gave the audience a glimpse
of "Life in Greenwich Village."
Vincent Nawrocki made his debut as a ventriloquist. Edward
Slikes gave his performance by
proposing marriage to Maynard
Herring. George Baksi acquainted
the student body with some new
points of view on education when
he delivered his philesephy on
B. S. T. C. James Creveling completed the round of solo performances with an entertaining act.
A burst of applause arose in the
gym when the Phi Sigma Pi Chorus* Line made its appearance. The
quartet composed of Homer Zeigler, Henry Hurtt , George Reck,
and Claude Renninger, brought
the program of the evening to a
close.
The formal initiation of the
pledgees took place the following
evening in the social rooms of
Science Hall.
The obj ective of the fraternity
is to maintain a professional educational fraternity for men in
teacher-training institutions. It endeavors to advance ideals of education , promote fellowship, improve the quality of teachers, and
uphold justice and efficiency of
government. Officers of the group
are Gerald Bacon, president; Merlin Beachell, vice-president; James
Whitney, secretary ; and Lewis
Ballantine , treasurer.
Students Hold Big
Rally and Parade
Before Wilkes Game
The town of Bloomsburg knew
there was a college on the hill on
Friday, November 3, when BSTC
held a pep rally with all the trimmings: cheerleaders, a bonfire , a
parade of fraternity pledgees, and
an automobile parade and snake
dance led by a lovely Queen. The
affair wound up with a square
dance, sponsored by the Day Men 's
Association, in the College lounge.
The pep rally was held in anticipation of the BSTC-Wilkes College football game, which was
played on Saturday afternoon ; and
college spirit reached a new high
as the Huskies neared the end of
the 1950 gridiron season.
The rally opened on the Benj amin Franklin School playground
with a bonfire and a parade of Phi
Sigma Pi pledgees; the cheerleaders, assisted by the Maroon and
Gold Band , led the assemblage in
college cheers and songs. Coach
Redman made a few brief remarks; then the lovely Queen of
the pep rally, Joan Enama , was
introduced.
The group then adjourned to the
Colonnade, where the automobile

deed t a timel y one. During the World War , we made our battlecry "Make the world safe for democracy " but now we know only
the strong can survive and that no democracy is safe unless the
people of that democracy are strong.
A fundamental step in making America strong is the building
of physical fitness. Selective Service has called to our attention
some of our physical defects. The encouraging fact that today
we are in better physical condition than at the time of the World
War shows that our education is producing results. Since much
of our lack of physical fitness is caused by an inadequate diet
due to poor earning power , it is our duty to strive for the economic
well-being of the nation, This should be no nation where wealth
accumulates and men decay. Once the economic insecurity of
society is overcome, the main threat to emotional stability will
have keen removed.
Once the people are physically fit and emotionall y stable , we
have gone a long way toward strengthening national morale, It is
our schools ' duty to give the children daily experiences in democratic living so that they may see the advantages of perpetuating
this form of government regardless of the type of government
predominating in the ' world outside our nation. Through education we must build up a morale which will be unshaken no matter
what crises arise.
Another problem in building a strong America is the safeguarding of school support. In times like these there is always a
tendency to curtail expenditures and the schools will be the first
to suffer unless we can justify the cost of the schools by showing
their value in maintaining a aemocracy,
The last problem in building a stron g American is insuring
the cooperation of home and school . These two things , more than
all other factors , mold the lives of the youth of America, When
they are working hand in hand , we shall have a sound basis upon
which to build a strong America.

Glances Behind the Scenes
In the Day Men 's Room
To the students of this school who do not recognize those
strange characters that appear in miscellaneous classes , let us tell
you about them. They are the forgotten people who are called
day men.
These people arrive here at the college from communities
such as Shamokin , Catawissa , Danville , an d other out-of-the-way
places. They travel in luxurious limousines or beat up jalo pies
from their respective haunts and then converge in a place called
t h e d ay men 's room in Noetling Hall.
These people, some three hundred strong, are led by Jim
Cannon , who is the president of the Day Men 's Association; John
Seebold, who is vice president; George Young, secretary; and
Robert Hileman , treasurer.
Let us look closer into the haunt from which these day men
emerge. We will see upon entering the door a room which has
many tables. On these tables may be found collections of books ,
bottles of soft drink , a ch ess or ch eck er boar d , or a part ly consumed lunch. Around these tables in all probability we would see
some day men in a discussion which migh t center upon an invo lve d
probl em of calcu l us , a well-delivered opinion about some faculty
mem b er , or oration on why the Phillies are the best baseball team.
The average person might obtain a well-rounded college education
by listening to the cussings and discussions of these square-table
conrerences.
In furthering our investigation , we mi gh t see at a ta bl e two
fellows who seem to be doing imitations of "The Thinker "; but , in
reality , they are absorbed in planning an intricate maneuver in
chess. We might also see an amateur two-some playing checkers;
t h ese are f res h man an d k now no bett er .
A t on e en d of t h e room , the brash beat of boogie or the restful rh ythm of the classics wells from the small radio and , upon
occasio n , Jo hn 's Other Wife sneaks across from the speaker. At
times , an eager group of Philly fans are hunched about the set in
nervous anticipation. From the other end of the room we can hear
the staccato of a snore from someone assuming a prone position
on one of the four soft sofas.
The noon hour brings the assorted members of this organization trooping into the room and every chair and sofa is quickly
occupied. Here the great moment arrives . . . from the well equipped kitchen comes the appetizing aroma of coffee such as onl yGeorge Young can brew. Lunch is served by digg ing into homeprepared lunches and washing the sandwiches down with the delicious coffee. Then the square-table discussions start anew and
are only quieted by the ringing of the class warning bell. The
occupants of the room disperse and are engulfed by various classrooms.
At the stroke of four, they scurry off to their abodes in
Shamokin , Catawissa , Danville, and other outlandish places. The
day room is deserted, but tomorrow they will be back full of desire to learn jus t a little more.
There are other things which the day men do to bring credit
to the school. For instance , this year they have held a square
dance; and later on they will sponsor a student smoker. In this
way, they contribute generously to student activities. In the future,
they plan to participate more full y in the college program by setting up a scholarship for some needy student.
So fellow students, if these strange characters-appear in your
classes, don ' t worry because they disappear from this community
dail y at the four o'clock bell.

Husk y Booters Pile
Up 6-0 Score Over
Outclassed Indian a
The mud-spattered Huskies emerged victorious from the muck of
Mount Olympus on Saturday morning, November 4, by giving Indiana State Teachers College a 6-0
trouncing.
Undismayed by the sea of mud
which covered the field , the Shellymen scored in the opening minutes of the game as Gearhart's
drive slid through the fingers of
the Indiana goalie. This ended the
scoring for the first half as the
water-soaked ball refused to be
lofted any distance.
Rain fell as the second half
started , but the Huskies were not
to be denied. Conrad sailed the
ball into the cords, a nd a few
minutes later Bickert's penalty
kick followed it.
As the third quarter waned,
Purgele entered the scoring column by scoring from a touch line
kick that squirmed from the goalie 's fingers,
In the fourth quarter , Pague
tallied on a penalty kick as Coach
Shelly emptied his bench of substitutes. The clay-soaked ball was
again pounded through by Thompson in the last minute of the game,
leaving the Maroon and Gold with
a 6-0 win.
This game ended the 1950 season for the Bloomsburg soccer
squad. The Shellymen won four
games and lost three in a season
of hard games and tough competition.

Locker ¦!-Lingo

West Chester, here we come! Th at is the cry on the campus this
week as the Huskies prepare to journey to the downstate school for the
toughest battle of the season. Thus far, the Tutors, who will serve as
hosts, have lost, but one game ; that was to "big time" Delaware University . Last week they bowled over Moravian , 20-0, aiid attempted 32
passes in the process of the rout. The Huskies can expect an aerial
assault such as they have not seen all season. Student spirit here on
the Hill seems at an all time high , and Bloomsburg should have a
terrifi c backing at the tilt. See you at West Chester!
Last Saturday afternoon , Wilkes provided more opposition than
expected, and probably played their best game of the current campaign.
It seems that they were up for the game, and Maroon and Gold weren 't
as sharp as usual. Al Nicholas, speedy hack for Wilkes, was perhaps the
best runner that the Huskies have played against all season. The game
was a thriller all the way; and despite the 27-7 score, the Colonels provided the strongest opposition for the Redmen so far this season.
Stellar fullback Danny Parrell ran for his finest gain of the season
on the first play from scrimmage, racing 80 yards for his eleventh T.D.
of the campaign. Three cheers for Danny in another department: the
Hazleton Flash's smiling picture made the sports section of last Sunday 's Philadelphia Inquirer.
Coach Shelly 's soccer boys ended the season on a fiine note by
dribbling past Indiana Teachers, 6-0, for their easier win of the year.
Their final record stands four successes against three defeats. Now the
versatile Shelly shifts his attention to basketball; daily practice sessions
have been held all this week.
Apologies to Mr. Redman , who was one hundred percent correct in
stating that the Wilkes score would not be 40-7 as picked by this
crystal ball. Maybe the fog of the Huskies past record interfered with
a correct prediction. The wet field may have made a difference, too.
The state now has five undefeated grid elevens. Little Thiel College,
never mentioned heretofore as boasting a perfect slate had one all this
time and it hadn 't even been noticed. Here are the state teams that hold
unblemished records: Thiel, Lehigh , F & M , Carnegie Tech, and Bloomsburg. Drexel bowed for the first time this week to Western Maryland.
Thiel still leads the state in defense , having had only 13 points chalked
up against them, and the Huskies are still a close second, with 21 points.
The prediction corner now has a percentage of 800, having picked
fourteen out of fifteen last Saturday , and 28 out of 35 for the season.
This week's selections are as follows :

This reminder of the coming

Waller Hall, Henry Hurtt and Jim

the football managerial staff , who
produced the needed equipment.

Coach Redman 's Huskies defeated a pepped-up group of Wilkes
' College gridders 27-7 at Athletic
Park last Saturday afternoon before a sparse crowd of loyal Husky rooters.
The play of the Maroon and
Gold , in sp ots , was very sluggish;
and time after time the Wilkes'
forward wall outcharged that of
the Huskies.
Dan Parrell , top scorer in the
state with sixty-six points, star t ed
things off with a bang on the first
play of the game with an 80 yard
touchdown run through the middle of the Wilkes defense. Tavalsky kicked the extra point, and it
looked like another romp for the
Huskies.
But Wilkes , ignoring the results
of the Huskies' previous games,
drove the ball with ease down to
the Bloomsburg 23 following the
kickoff. Here the attack stalled,
and the Maroon and Gold took
over.
After an exchange of punts, the
Huskies rolled to th e Wilkes 20,
only to lose the ball on a pass
interception on the Wilkes 14.
Wilkes pun ted out to the midfiel d, and on the first play, P arrell
fumbled. Wilkes took over and
also fumbled on th e first play,
with the Huskies' John Nemetz
re covering on the Wilkes 46.
Spa ck then attempted another
pass which was again intercepted,
this time on the Wilkes 20; it was
returned 34 yards by Nicholas, the
Wilkes backfield star , who played
brilli antly all afternoon. Nicholas
f umbled as he was hit, and , ironically, Spack recovered.
The Huskies picked up a firs t
down on the Wilkes 41; then
Spack faded back and hit end Ed
Tavalsky , who was alone near the
left side line, for a touchdown.
Tavalsky again converted the extra point, and Bloomsburg led 140. The half ended with no further
scoring.
Wilkes received the kickoff following the intermission and showed that the game was far from
over; they drove 74 yards to register what turned out to be their
lone tally of the game. The at, tempt for the extra point was
good , and Wilkes was back in the
game.
A few m in ut es l ater , Bob Lang ,
who played stand-out ball all day,
intercepted a Wilkes pass on the
Husky 40 an d , with some good
blo cks , returned the ball to the
Wilkes 43. This was the steppingstone to the third Husky score.
Spack , Osevala, and Lang alternated carrying the ball, and eight
plays later Barney (Osevala)
plunged over. Tavalsky again made
the conversion good , and things
were looking brighter for the Maroon and Gold.
After the ensuing kickoff , Osevala intercepted a Wilkes pass;
this time the attack was stalled
by a penalty on the Wilkes 19.
Wilkes fumbled on their second
play, and center Tom McLaughlin
recovered on the Wilkes 18. This
chance went for naught when a
fourth down pass was batted down
by the alert Wilkes defense.
Wilkes drove to the Husky 46
before Nicholas, a t t e mp t i n g a
fourth down pass, was thrown
back to the Wilkes 39.
In three plays the Huskies had
another score. Joe Kaprilick entered the Husky line-up and circled his own right end for ten
yards and very close to a first
down on the Wilkes 30. Osevala

Cage Opponents ,
Please Note
Coach Harold Shelly, basketball mentor , reported that he
has 16 captains of high school
teams among the aspirants for
positions on the Husky basketball team this year. This should
prove to be both good and bad
news — good for Bloomsburg
and bad for Its opponents.
This Is the first time in a
number of years that material
of this caliber has been available to our coaches. We should
bear in mind that team captains are "usually " rated as
one of the best players of their
particular squads.
Many Students Leaving
Campus to Attend Season 's
Big Gridiron Attraction
It may be the eve of Armistice
Day, but you 'll n ever know it tonight when the undefeated Bloomsburg Huskies clash with the oncebeaten West Chester Golden Rams
in the game which has been termed "the Battle of the Year." All
past records and predictions will
be cast aside as these two j uggernauts meet, and you can bet that
coaches Bob Redman , of the Huskies, and Glenn Killinger, of the
Rams, will use all their wiles and
material in an effort to win.
A general invasion of the West
Chester campus will take place as
the Maroon and Gold Band and
che erleaders will lead many
Bloomsburg-bannered cars to the
scene of the struggle. This army
of students will undoubtedly provide great moral support to the
drive of the Huskies. Coach Redman 's statement that "the spirit
of the team is lifted by the following and spirit of the students" will
certainly be proved at this gigantic contest.
Meanwhile, commanding ueneral Redman has been drilling his
charges arduously the past week.
Following the hard-fought victory
over Wilkes , the coach has had to
patch up many bruises and wounds
in both his men and his attack ;
and when the golden-clad Huskies
take the field tonight, their ground
and aerial attack will be at the
highest possible peak.
The professor of the gridiron
will open with the same offensive
unit the past six contests have
seen. His defensive unit will show
a sligh t variation from the offense,
as John Nemetz and Russ Looker
will move into the tackle slots and
possibly the inj ured "Ziggy" Ziegenf use will occupy one of the
guard spots. In the defensive backfield , safety-man Dave Linkchorst
will move in along with B'arn ey
Oseval a, who is also a terrific
scoring punch on the offense when
relieving fullback Dan Parrell.
From the West Chester camp,
the report comes that General
Glenn Killinger 's Golden Rams escaped any serious inj ury in their
conquest of Moravian College last
week and will be at full strength
for tonight's contest. His offensive
u nit , revolving around the quarterbacking of senior Wayne Schneider, will show speed and hard driving play. The Husky defense will
bang helmets with big Jack Eutsler, who will anchor the line at
center. He will be flanked by cocaptain "Beef" McKenzie and the
fast-charging John Pancelli at the
guard positions. The tackle slots
will show Charlie Weber and 250pound Bill Foltz; at the terminals,
Bill McLarnon and Chuck Reese
will show their wares.
Besides the crafty Schneider,
the backfield will find three of the
best backs the Huskies have met
this year. Co-captain "Roundy "
Waldman , rated one of the greatest backs ever to don a Ram suit,

Max Kaplan 's 1937 sedan had
another dent this week !
Sunday night , about 7:30 P.M.,
on the outskirts of Berwick, Max
Kaplan made a quick stop. The
truck in back of him didn't.
Max and his wife were on their
way home fiom Port Chester, New
York, where they had gone to attend the wedding of a friend. Just
twelve miles short of their destina t ion , on the road to Bloomsburg,
the car in front of them came to
a sudden halt. ' Max applied his
brakes. The cattle-truck right behind him , unable to make a quick
stop, tried to avoid an accident by
swerving to the right. He was almost successful, but not quite. His
left front tire collided with the
right rear fender of Max 's sedan ,
fla ttening it considerably .
Max and Mrs. Kaplan escaped
inj ury, and so di'd the cattle. The
driver of the cattle-truck was

Three Types . .
by Ann Gengenbach
There are two ways to enter a
class; one way is with an open
mind and the other is with a pre judiced one. Have you ever heard
anyone murmur , "I j ust hate this
class " before crossing the threshhold into what seems eternal boredom ?
Our minds should be cleared of
all past experiences upon entering
such a class. Think to yourself , "I
could enj oy this class, if I t ook a
little interest in the mater."
If you j ust sit in the class, not
entering into the discussion , naturally the subj ect will seem boresome and tiri ng. All of us have
noticed the person , who, a fter
prancing around town until all
hours, sits in the back of the
classroom "dozing."
Then there is th e type which
sees nothing but the clock. They
just about count the seconds in
each minute. One , two, three , (oh ,
there I go again) at last fifty
minutes are up. "Class excused"
seems to be music to their ears.
"I' m forever blowing daydreams "
seems to be the third type 's
theme. He j ust sits and stares.
Stares at nothing !
A little more interest and participation in class will help make
it a much more bearable, oops,
understand able one.
A Note of Tha nks
Orchids to those who serve us.
By serving us, I mean those who
cater to us in the dining hall. It
isn 't as easy as you think to carry
those tr ays. There are many qualities which help make good waitresses or waiters, such as speed,
cleanliness , efficiency, and courtesy. Do you thank your particular waiter for serving you properly ? It will make him feel good
inside if you do. After all, he is
serving you!
According to information received from the President's office,
there are 134 students employed
by the college. Twenty-seven are
clerks in t he offi ces, forty-two are
waiters in the dining hall, fortynine are helpers in the kitchen
and cafeteria , and sixteen work as
laborers. No student is allowed to
work more than 25 hours a week.
Pay ranges from 35 cents to 50
cents an hour. President Andruss
