Bloom Players To
Present Broadway
Hit "Our Town "
The Bloomsburg Players have
j ust announced that their major
produ ction for the vear will be the
three-act play by Thornton Wilder ,
"Our Town " which ' will be staged
on April 17, in Carver Auditorium.
"Our Town," which will be staged
Broadway «v several seasons ago,
where it met huge success. Said
the iNew York Herald Tribune's
drama critic, "Clearly one of the
events of the season—'Our Mown '
is both beautiful and touching. "
When the pJay toured to Washington , D. C, the Washington Daily
News reported , "Poignancy, plentiful humor, unwavering interest
—one of the season's most curious
and satisfying experiences. It has
only been lately that "Our Town "
has been released for amateur
theatre. Since that time, however ,
the _ play has been very popular
with" college and university dramatic groups all over the country .
The last few weeks have been
busy ones for casting of the production. Among those who will be
in the cast are; Bud Herman, Bob
Jewell , George Blyler, Oren Baker , Calvin Kanyuck , Jim Ciavaglia,
Robert VonDrock, George Smith ,
Frank Dean , Tom Anthony, Nancy
Unper, Jeanne Ru ckle, Laura Philo, Joanne Cuff , and Smoky Laubscher. The entire production will
be under the direction of Miss
Johnston.
The cast began rehearsals on
Monday.
Senior Brochure
Is Released by
Placement Bureau
The third annual placement brochure of B.S.T.C. seniors was delivered to the school administration officials during the past week.
The booklet presents one hundred
sixty-four seniors — fifty in business, forty-three in elementary,
and seventy-one in secondary education.
This year 's brochure is probably
the most attractive one published
by this school. The cover is a brilliant yellow and has an inset
showing 'Dr. Kuster and a group
from his vertebrate anatomy class
carefully examining the delicate
innards of the dog-fish shark.
The idea of such a publication
originated with President Harvey
A. Andruss three years ago. Since
the n, it has become an annual affair. Credit must be given to the
Obiter staff , especially Marie Mattis who secured and set up the
pictures of all the seniors. Along
with each picture, there is a list
of the activities in which the student participated while at Bloomsburg.
A thousand copies of the brochure are now available for distribution through the placement
service. Dr. Ernest T. Engelhardt
has announced that copies have
been sent to all school administrators in the service area of this institution. Other copies are furnished , upon request, to other employers.
We can all be j ustly proud of
the Bloomsburg brochure this year,
because it is, without a doubt , the
best in this state and one of the
best in the country.

The Origin of Valentine 's Day
A special day amon g the young and old in the early fourteenth century is still celebrated today in much the same way.
What special day am I referring to? St. Valentine 's Day, usually
known as just Valentine 's Day.
Althoug h its origin is uncertain , it is believed that in early
Roman times lads and lasses placed their names in a large box.
They then drew names and it was "suggested" that a love affair
should qrow out of their association during the year.
When the Christian era came , this practice grew to be considered unchristian. A clergyman suggested that they substitute
names of saints and match pairs that way. The youth and lass
who were paired by this drawing method exchanged gifts. Later ,
the youth only gave a gift to the girl. It was at this point that the
custom of sending cards came into effect,
At first , only a few were sent, but now hundreds of thousands
travel the world around, Valentines range in sentiment from expressions of deep devotion to the modern "comics ," which often
approach cruelty in their brisk verses, Whatever the feeling,
valentines have become our universal way of celebrating the birthday of this patron saint,
Stresses Need for Great
Moral Principles in
Present World Situation
Forty graduates of B..S.T.C, received the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Education at the midwinter commencement held in
Carver Hall auditorium, Thursday
evening, January 18. The invocation was given by Fred W. Diehl,
vice president of the Board of
Trustees. Mary Lou Todd, accompanied by Mary Grace Aimers,
sang "This Day Is Mine." Dr. T.
P. North, Dean of Instru ction ,
presented the candidates to Dr.
Harvey A. Andruss, College President, who conferred the degrees.
Mr. Charles H. Henrie led in the
singing of the Alma Mater. Mr.
Howard T. Fenstemaker was at
the console.
The graduation address was delivered before a capacity audience
by Philip F. LaFollette, former
governor of Wisconsin, who used
the them e "What of Our Future?"
His message for the class was
"Have faith in yourself , be openminded, think for yourself , and
then stand by your decision."
LaFollette blasted the repudiation of moral principles by our
leaders since World War I, praised
our Far-Eastern policy, and asserted that while he is a foe of
communism he is more concerned
about the men in Washington than
about the men in the Kremlin.
"Despite the frustrated world
today, " said Mr. LaFollette , "I
look to the future with confidence.
The troubles we have today are
the products of yesterday's mistakes."
He asserted that the world we
shall have tomorrow is the kind of
world we are making now. The
world needs leadership and the
things which make this are courage, understanding, and , most of
all, perspective.
"Great material power without
great moral principles cannot succeed," he continued. The frontier
of our age, he said, is atomic energy, but he condemned the stress
placed on destructiveness rather
than the constructiveness of atomic oower.
"Poverty, " said LaFollette," is
inexcusable in an atomic age. Given the leadership, world peace can
be achieved by the constructive
use of this power."
The speaker said that world
leaders have given evidence, in all
international relations since World
• War I, of the repudiation of great
moral principles. In illustration ,
he pointed out that Wilson 's 14
Points were nullified by the Versailles Treaty and the four freedoms of the Atlantic Charter were
revoked by the Potsdam, Yalta ,
and Teheran agreements. Continuing, he said "Wo will lose our
freedom only If we tolerate conditions that produce dictators , "
One place in which America has
been true to our principles is in
the Far ' East, he pointed out. This
policy was begun in 1898, following the conquest of the Phllip( Continued on page 3)
Dr. and 'Mrs. Harvey A. Andruss

Know Your C.G.A.
A great deal of the work of the
C.G.A. is carried on by committees
whose chairmen are chosen by the
C.G.A. officers.
The new furniture which has
just arrived for the small Lounge

N.S.A.—Every Student Benefits
There are very f ew stu d ent s on t h is campus wh o k now wh at
the letters N.S.A. stan d for, wh at it i s, and what it means to him.
N.S.A. stands for National Student Association; and whether
you k now it or not , you are a member. The very f act t h at you are
a student at B.S.T.C. makes you a member of this association of
thousands of students in all parts of t h is country an d a num b er
of forei gn nations.
Membership to this progressive organization is not enjoyed by
every college; many have failed to see the advantages of N.S.A.,
an d some have not used it to itg fullest advantages. B.S.T.C , in
keeping with its tradition as a progressive institution , is at this time
the onl y state teachers college in Pennsylvania belonging to
IN. o.J\ .
¦ The chief aim and advantage
of N.S.A. is *a continuous flow
o f interc h ang ing ideas among different colleges. In this way it is
^possi ble to discuss problems with students of other colleges in an
effort to gain valuable information on how these problems are met
on other campuses. It also hel ps to keep a fresh flow of information on stu dent activities and entertainment coming on the campus.
The principle of N.S.A . is to serve the educational community
t h roug h t h e stu d ent government .
N.S.A., a l t h oug h still a very young organization , h as earne d
the respect of UNESCO , NEA , an d ot h er ' educational qrouns.
The advantages of N.S.A. are as limited as the students on
an y campus make them .
The members of the N.S.A. committee on this campus have
many ideas gained at a recent convention at Philadel phia that
would do a great deal to improve B.S.T.C , but they can do nothing without your hel p. Whenever they ask your cooperation in a
matt er , do your best and you will find it will be to your own
advantage.
Internatio nal Union of Students
In December of last year an international student conference
was held m Stockholm , Sweden. Representatives from twenty-one
nati ons met to discuss means of international cooperation and
ways to obtain closer contacts with students of Asia , Africa , an d
South America. At this conference, Allard K . Lowenstein , president of the National Student Association , represented almost a
million American college and university students. In an addressto conference leaders , President Lowenstein asked students of the
free world to join in a program of cooperation among themselves
and with students in colonial areas. The following paragraphs
summarize the salient points of President Lowenstein 's Stockholm
address :
The international conference was designated a "practical "
conference and was dedicated to the formulation of means to increase cooperation among students of the world and , through
them to increase "good will and understanding among the peoples
of the earth. " Mr. Lowenstein stressed the need o\ considering
the political reality of world situations while trying to carry out
"practical " proj ects.
Conference delegates were asked to work toward making a
contribution to peace in the world , since all the nations represented
were peace-loving nations ; but they were urged to beware of that
illusory peace which means only the absence of more violent forms
of war .
The International Union of Students was demerited for
spreading untruth s and breeding confusion in the minds of peoples
who live in backward areas where communication and government
are undeveloped, Once seekers of freedom, these peoples, after
being tilled with the distortions of the IUS information program , turn against freedom, All attempts at negotiations by students of freedom-loving countries with students of IUS end in
failure. The IUS, whose policies are determined by the Soviet
Unfon , cannot let negotia tions succeed because such action would
challenge the sway of the Soviet Union in areas of the world
where student opinion is especially crucial and where national
destiny is not yet decided, The policies of the IUS give no promise of changing as long as the foreign policy of the Soviet Union
does not change.
Lowenstein stressed the need of education to instill into students ' lives those values that will put our great technical "knowhow " and modern scientific achievement to work as weapons for
the amelioration and enrichment of lives of human beings throughout the world, He called on peace-loving students of the world
to "meet terror with honor , malicious attacks with facts, and force
with the weapons of truth , "

of John Dobriboli , the Lituanian
immigrant. A few B.S.T.C. students , among them John Buynak
and John Klotsko, have , in the
past, amused their listeners with
the Dobriboli epic. We feel that
under the pen of a skillful writer
who knows him and speaks his
language, John Dobriboli will be
able to take his place next to Hyman Kaplan and other classic, humorous, immigrant , literary personalities. If you haven 't heard
about John Dobriboli from the lips
of Buynak or Klotsko , you have
missed something really entertaining. We here attempt to tell you
something of his story, in his own
words , as related to us by John

Labor men charge that the Soviet Embassy in Wasliington employed non-union plumbers. We
suppose that the Soviet defense is,
of course, that the plumbers were
volunteers, that they came into
the Embassy in the interest of
peace, and that there can be no
further discussion of the matter
until the union leaders withdraw
from the picture.
While on the subj ect of volunteers, we doubt that all of those

Guidance —A Service to Students
By Michael Dorak
If you are one of the students who have a hard time finding
Num ber 82 Noetling Hall , the office of the Assistant Dean of
Wom en , Miss Mary E. Macdonald , it is at the end of Fisher 's
Alley ¦— one door from the office to which most studeijfs of
B.S.T.C. finall y find their way during their college career. In
a ddition to her duties as Assistant Dean of Women, Miss Macdonald is also concerned with the problems of the students, both
sch ol astic an d per sona l , in her capacity as Guidance Counsellor.
Graduating with a B.A. from the University of Michigan and
an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University, Miss Macd ona ld taug ht Social Studies and Languages ( Latin and French )
in the Plymouth Township High School for two years and in the
Berwick High School for nine years. From 1938 to 1942 , sh e was
[ ho. Student Personnel Counsellor on the staff of the Dean of
Women an d head of Residence Hall at Winthrop College, Rock
Hill , South Carolina. While employed in that capacity, sh e was
president of the State Branch of the Amgrican Association of
University Women. Although Miss Macdonald enjoyed her soj ourn in South Carolina , sh e con f esses of drea ding to h ear t h e
te l ep hone ring because of her inability to understand the different
Southern dialects of which , according to her , there are about nine.
Her next position was as head of residence in Hartl y Hall ,
Columbia University, but a call to the Navy in 1942 cut this
position short; she was commissioned a Lieutenant (j.Q. ) and was
stationed at Smith College , Stillwater , Oklahoma. While Lieutenant in the Navy, Miss Macdonald' s d uties were of a soci al
nature , being director of publication stock section at Pearl Harbor.
She was discharged from the Navy in 1946 and accepted a position as head of residence , Barnar d College , a post which she held
for three years prior to accepting the position as Coordinator of
Guidance Services at B.S.T.C.
Incoming freshmen get to know Miss Macdonald because of
her work in the Orientation classes and with the giving of the
placement tests, but there are many in the student body who are
not familiar with her work at B.S.T.C.
A typical interview with Miss Macdonald is set forth in the
following paragraph and can be had without the formality of
being summoned to her office. Incidentall y, students should have
no fear of seeing her when their names are placed on the bulletin
board requesting their presence for an interview , because those
who do very well in the placement tests are called in as well as
those students whose profile shows a lack of understanding or
weakness in the various fields tested.
When the studen t enters her office , the friendly nature of
Miss Macdonald is immediately felt. In order to relax the visitor
and otherwise make the student feel free to confide in her , small
talk is carried on; then the student 's profile is reviewed, in order
to show him the pattern of the test responses as well as the total
achievement. This of course does not mean that the total score
has not value, but by itself it is rather inadequate, especially for
guidance purposes.
The tests given are definitely not a waste of time and provide the administration and teachers with valuable information.
All students should be interested enough to seek information concerning their capacities in the various fields as charted on their
profile.
Miss Macdonald will welcome the opportunity to show students how they have done in the placement tests by means of their
charted profile, Her main interest is in students who do not use
their entire scholastic potential, It might be a step in the right
direction if you were to visit room Number 82 , Noetling Hall before the close of school and talk over your problems.

One^Point Decision
To Shippen sburg
Coach Shelley 's basketeers, playing without the services of Walt
Banull and Bob Andrews for the
[firs t time in four years, dropped a
tone-point decision to visiting Shipbensburg on Jan. 27 in an exciting
67-56 struggle on the Centennial

game the Huskies enjoyed a 12point lead. This was the result of
some very accurate shooting that
saw 5 of the first 6 shots drop
th rough the hoop. Then the height
of Bob Chubb began to show its
ad vantage and- by half-time the
Huskies lead had been chopped to
a mere two points leaving a score
of 28-26.
Immediately following the intermission the Raiders from Cumberland County took the lead and
were never headed after that ; the
Huskies did manage to tie the
score at 48 late in the game only
to see the Shippers prevail.
Bill Byham, with 15 points, and

of Byham 's seven field goals came
in the closing minutes of the contest and enabled the Huskies to
stay in the ball game. The foul
sh ooting of the Huskies was very
good , as they sank 10 out of 13 f<->"
one of their best averages of the
year at the penalty line.
Big Bob Chubb gave a good account of himself as he played his
last game before a Bloomsburg
crowd. He finished the game with
26 points and proved even more
valuable to the Shippensburg cause
by controlling both backboards.
The Huskies' record now stands
at 3 wins and 6 defeats, but this
should be improved, as all the
hardest games have been played.

Up to and including the Shippensburg game of January 27, the
Husky Hoopsters had massed a total of 495 points, or 55 marks per tilt.
In the meantime, the opposition had scored 555 points, or 61.6 counters
in each battle. While the Shellymen had copped only two of these decisions , three of the losses were inflicted by the margin of five points or
less. Had the Huskies been able to tally four goals in the two_ Shippensburg battles, they could have netted the victories in both games; the
final scores were 64-59 and 57-56, both in favor of the tall Red Raiders.
Also of note in the first nine games was the lack of scoring punch
against the powerful Bald Eagles from Lock Haven. In those two tilts,
the Maroon and Gold could hoop only 77 points, or 38.5 tallies per contest . Lock H aven , on the other hand, totaled 132 markers, winning both
decisions by twenty-five points or more. Reaching their scoring peak in
the fray with Harpur, the B.S.T.C. boys dumped in 75 counters for the
individual high season 's total. The lowest score of the campaign was a
32-point effort against Lock Haven, on the Centennial Gymnasium court.
Bloomsburg has little chance of finishing the season with more victories
than losses, but here's hoping the boys come through in the final battles

The Huskies ended a four game
losing streak on January 17 when
they defeated a scrappy Harpur
quintet 75-68 at Centennial Gymnasium. The teachers garnered
twenty-six counters in the third
period which provided the necessary needed for victory.
Chuck Daly racked up 20 points
to pace the Huskies in scoring. He
scored five of his 10 field goals in
the third quarter. Dave Linkchorst
and Buck Byham were the other
two Shellymen who hit the double

season without the services of
Walter Banull and "Smoky " Andrew s, who strolled the graduating path during the semester layoff.
For the first nine games this

On Saturday evening, February
3, the Huskies j ourneyed to Mansfield to meet and defeat the Mountaineers on their home court, 7266. Paced by Don Butler's fine 26
point effort, the Shellymen trailed
only in the first half , then put on
the pressure in the third and
fourth stanza to cop their fourth
decision in ten starts.
Mansfield opened the first canto
with an outburst of goals which
netted them a 24-13 advantage at
the end of the first quarter. With
Jimmy Thompson and Butler ripping the cords during the second
frame, the Huskies closed the gap,
and the Mountaineers trotted off
the floor at halftime with a 35-32
lead.
With Butler and Thompson again
shining in the third quarter, the
Maroon and Gold dumped in 26
markers to Mansfield's eight to
take the lead, 58-43 at the end of
the quarter. Of the 26 Husky
points tallied, Butler and Thompson tallied all but two.
In the last six minutes of .the
battle, Coach Shelly sent in the
second team. Mansfield promptly
cut the lead to 11 points with two
and a half minutes remaining in
the fracas. At this point, Bloom
tried to freeze the ball, but was
unsuccessful. The Mountaineers
rallied to creep within six points,
but the game ended, and the
Huskies walked off the floor with
the decision their first in three
weeks.
In the preliminary battle, Doc
Wagner's proteges continued their
winning ways by trouncing the
Mansfield Frosh by a 50-39 count.
Kopec led the local pups with 19
tallies.
On Saturday night the Shellymen will travel to meet Kutztown.
The powerful down-state squad
has been winning consistently so
they should provide much opposition for the Huskies.

Banull Playing for
Williarns port Pros *
Walter Banull , former Plymouth
High School athlete and star for
the Bloomsburg Huskies for the
past four years, signed with the
professional Williarnsport Billies
last week.
Walt , as versatile a player as
ever donned the Maroon and Gold
basketball togs, led the way alon g
with Ed Jones to the Huskies successful campaign last year, and
before his graduation last month,
he consistently made the Shellymen a threat on the basketball
courts throughout this section of
the state.
In his debut on Saturday evening, February 3, Banull was held
scoreless but was used for only a
part of the Billies game. Here's
hoping that Walt will make his
pro career as successful as his past
college career here on the Hill.

The ¦'revolt at the small mid.western college had been a complete • success, and Joe Cram complacently chuckled to himself. He
had led the students in an uprising
and they had overthrown and conquered the fiendish enemy of all
students—the faculty. Now things
would be different , thought Joe, as
he lit a cigarette with nis economics report.
Joe propped his feet on the desk
of the former president , leaned
back in his chair, and blew smoke
into the president's face. He then
told the peasant president that he
was dismissed until 4 a.m. At 4
a.m. Joe wanted his nails manicured.
Joe then started his inspection
of the school under the new regime. First he strolled up to the
typing room where the typing instructor was surrounded by a
group of students, who were rolling his nose through a typewriter.
They then typed out FACULTY
on his nose, so that everyone
would recognize "what an uncouth
heine he was.
Joe then ambled toward the Biology lab. On his way he met the
ex-dean. He returned the dean's
salute, and walked into the lab.
He found two lab instructors frying the lab lizard. "What' s going
on here," screamed Joe. "We're
j ust hungry, we haven't eaten for
five day s," one instructor meekly
said. "All right, but remember if
you step out of line your limbs get
stretched on the rack," said Joe
with authority.
The school has improved a great
deal, mused Joe as he started toward Hapless Science Hall. "Faster," he cried, as he put the whip
to another instructor who was
carrying him piggy-back. The instructor quickly responded and
they galloped down the path to
Hapless Hall.
Joe hitched the instructor to a
tree, and sauntered into Hapless.
He saw an English instructor digesting Homer. He was on page
234. He, too, must be hungry,
thought Joe.
Joe leisurely strolled into the
auditorium where a psychology instructor was the guinea pig for an
e x p e r i m e n t called "HOW TO
STUDY with only your shorts on."
Joe cackled with delight.

"THE KEYSTONIAN"
The question this week deals
with a newcomer in the wild blue
yonder : "What do you think about
the so called 'Flying Discs' or
'Saucers'."
James Ferdinand—"I think they
are secret weapons—yet to be disclosed by the war department."
Graydon C. Wood—"If the 'Flying Discs' are real, they are the
best guarded secrets the United
States has."
Herman Funlt— "There are a lot
of planets in the universe and
some of them may have people
that are more ' civilized than we
are. Flying Discs could be j ust
plain visitors."
Thomas Johnson— "Read Frank
Scully's book, 'Behind the Flying
Saucers,' for the answer. They are
real. "
Ray Wagner— "Did you see the
picture in the Columbia Theatre ?
To me the Flying Saucers are real.
Why would the air line pilots lie
about such fantastic discs if they
did not see them."
Stan Aagiuird—"The people that
saw them make me feel as if they
are real. I think that they will be
the planes of the future."
Howard Marr — "The hundreds
of people that have seen these
discs can 't be mistaken. Therefore ,
if what they say is true, I believe
these saucer-like objects will prove
to revolutionize our mode of air
travel or cause our destruction."
June Long— "I t ' s extremely hard
to tell. There are so many views
and ideas. I am more inclined to
agree with many that they are
military secrets and actually exist."
"You don 't love me as much as
you did — lately you leave before

Present Broadway
Hit "Our Town "
The Bloomsburg Players have
j ust announced that their major
produ ction for the vear will be the
three-act play by Thornton Wilder ,
"Our Town " which ' will be staged
on April 17, in Carver Auditorium.
"Our Town," which will be staged
Broadway «v several seasons ago,
where it met huge success. Said
the iNew York Herald Tribune's
drama critic, "Clearly one of the
events of the season—'Our Mown '
is both beautiful and touching. "
When the pJay toured to Washington , D. C, the Washington Daily
News reported , "Poignancy, plentiful humor, unwavering interest
—one of the season's most curious
and satisfying experiences. It has
only been lately that "Our Town "
has been released for amateur
theatre. Since that time, however ,
the _ play has been very popular
with" college and university dramatic groups all over the country .
The last few weeks have been
busy ones for casting of the production. Among those who will be
in the cast are; Bud Herman, Bob
Jewell , George Blyler, Oren Baker , Calvin Kanyuck , Jim Ciavaglia,
Robert VonDrock, George Smith ,
Frank Dean , Tom Anthony, Nancy
Unper, Jeanne Ru ckle, Laura Philo, Joanne Cuff , and Smoky Laubscher. The entire production will
be under the direction of Miss
Johnston.
The cast began rehearsals on
Monday.
Senior Brochure
Is Released by
Placement Bureau
The third annual placement brochure of B.S.T.C. seniors was delivered to the school administration officials during the past week.
The booklet presents one hundred
sixty-four seniors — fifty in business, forty-three in elementary,
and seventy-one in secondary education.
This year 's brochure is probably
the most attractive one published
by this school. The cover is a brilliant yellow and has an inset
showing 'Dr. Kuster and a group
from his vertebrate anatomy class
carefully examining the delicate
innards of the dog-fish shark.
The idea of such a publication
originated with President Harvey
A. Andruss three years ago. Since
the n, it has become an annual affair. Credit must be given to the
Obiter staff , especially Marie Mattis who secured and set up the
pictures of all the seniors. Along
with each picture, there is a list
of the activities in which the student participated while at Bloomsburg.
A thousand copies of the brochure are now available for distribution through the placement
service. Dr. Ernest T. Engelhardt
has announced that copies have
been sent to all school administrators in the service area of this institution. Other copies are furnished , upon request, to other employers.
We can all be j ustly proud of
the Bloomsburg brochure this year,
because it is, without a doubt , the
best in this state and one of the
best in the country.

The Origin of Valentine 's Day
A special day amon g the young and old in the early fourteenth century is still celebrated today in much the same way.
What special day am I referring to? St. Valentine 's Day, usually
known as just Valentine 's Day.
Althoug h its origin is uncertain , it is believed that in early
Roman times lads and lasses placed their names in a large box.
They then drew names and it was "suggested" that a love affair
should qrow out of their association during the year.
When the Christian era came , this practice grew to be considered unchristian. A clergyman suggested that they substitute
names of saints and match pairs that way. The youth and lass
who were paired by this drawing method exchanged gifts. Later ,
the youth only gave a gift to the girl. It was at this point that the
custom of sending cards came into effect,
At first , only a few were sent, but now hundreds of thousands
travel the world around, Valentines range in sentiment from expressions of deep devotion to the modern "comics ," which often
approach cruelty in their brisk verses, Whatever the feeling,
valentines have become our universal way of celebrating the birthday of this patron saint,
Stresses Need for Great
Moral Principles in
Present World Situation
Forty graduates of B..S.T.C, received the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Education at the midwinter commencement held in
Carver Hall auditorium, Thursday
evening, January 18. The invocation was given by Fred W. Diehl,
vice president of the Board of
Trustees. Mary Lou Todd, accompanied by Mary Grace Aimers,
sang "This Day Is Mine." Dr. T.
P. North, Dean of Instru ction ,
presented the candidates to Dr.
Harvey A. Andruss, College President, who conferred the degrees.
Mr. Charles H. Henrie led in the
singing of the Alma Mater. Mr.
Howard T. Fenstemaker was at
the console.
The graduation address was delivered before a capacity audience
by Philip F. LaFollette, former
governor of Wisconsin, who used
the them e "What of Our Future?"
His message for the class was
"Have faith in yourself , be openminded, think for yourself , and
then stand by your decision."
LaFollette blasted the repudiation of moral principles by our
leaders since World War I, praised
our Far-Eastern policy, and asserted that while he is a foe of
communism he is more concerned
about the men in Washington than
about the men in the Kremlin.
"Despite the frustrated world
today, " said Mr. LaFollette , "I
look to the future with confidence.
The troubles we have today are
the products of yesterday's mistakes."
He asserted that the world we
shall have tomorrow is the kind of
world we are making now. The
world needs leadership and the
things which make this are courage, understanding, and , most of
all, perspective.
"Great material power without
great moral principles cannot succeed," he continued. The frontier
of our age, he said, is atomic energy, but he condemned the stress
placed on destructiveness rather
than the constructiveness of atomic oower.
"Poverty, " said LaFollette," is
inexcusable in an atomic age. Given the leadership, world peace can
be achieved by the constructive
use of this power."
The speaker said that world
leaders have given evidence, in all
international relations since World
• War I, of the repudiation of great
moral principles. In illustration ,
he pointed out that Wilson 's 14
Points were nullified by the Versailles Treaty and the four freedoms of the Atlantic Charter were
revoked by the Potsdam, Yalta ,
and Teheran agreements. Continuing, he said "Wo will lose our
freedom only If we tolerate conditions that produce dictators , "
One place in which America has
been true to our principles is in
the Far ' East, he pointed out. This
policy was begun in 1898, following the conquest of the Phllip( Continued on page 3)

Know Your C.G.A.
A great deal of the work of the
C.G.A. is carried on by committees
whose chairmen are chosen by the
C.G.A. officers.

N.S.A.—Every Student Benefits
There are very f ew stu d ent s on t h is campus wh o k now wh at
the letters N.S.A. stan d for, wh at it i s, and what it means to him.
N.S.A. stands for National Student Association; and whether
you k now it or not , you are a member. The very f act t h at you are
a student at B.S.T.C. makes you a member of this association of
thousands of students in all parts of t h is country an d a num b er
of forei gn nations.
Membership to this progressive organization is not enjoyed by
every college; many have failed to see the advantages of N.S.A.,
an d some have not used it to itg fullest advantages. B.S.T.C , in
keeping with its tradition as a progressive institution , is at this time
the onl y state teachers college in Pennsylvania belonging to
IN. o.J\ .
¦ The chief aim and advantage
of N.S.A. is *a continuous flow
o f interc h ang ing ideas among different colleges. In this way it is
^possi ble to discuss problems with students of other colleges in an
effort to gain valuable information on how these problems are met
on other campuses. It also hel ps to keep a fresh flow of information on stu dent activities and entertainment coming on the campus.
The principle of N.S.A . is to serve the educational community
t h roug h t h e stu d ent government .
N.S.A., a l t h oug h still a very young organization , h as earne d
the respect of UNESCO , NEA , an d ot h er ' educational qrouns.
The advantages of N.S.A. are as limited as the students on
an y campus make them .
The members of the N.S.A. committee on this campus have
many ideas gained at a recent convention at Philadel phia that
would do a great deal to improve B.S.T.C , but they can do nothing without your hel p. Whenever they ask your cooperation in a
matt er , do your best and you will find it will be to your own
advantage.
Internatio nal Union of Students
In December of last year an international student conference
was held m Stockholm , Sweden. Representatives from twenty-one
nati ons met to discuss means of international cooperation and
ways to obtain closer contacts with students of Asia , Africa , an d
South America. At this conference, Allard K . Lowenstein , president of the National Student Association , represented almost a
million American college and university students. In an addressto conference leaders , President Lowenstein asked students of the
free world to join in a program of cooperation among themselves
and with students in colonial areas. The following paragraphs
summarize the salient points of President Lowenstein 's Stockholm
address :
The international conference was designated a "practical "
conference and was dedicated to the formulation of means to increase cooperation among students of the world and , through
them to increase "good will and understanding among the peoples
of the earth. " Mr. Lowenstein stressed the need o\ considering
the political reality of world situations while trying to carry out
"practical " proj ects.
Conference delegates were asked to work toward making a
contribution to peace in the world , since all the nations represented
were peace-loving nations ; but they were urged to beware of that
illusory peace which means only the absence of more violent forms
of war .
The International Union of Students was demerited for
spreading untruth s and breeding confusion in the minds of peoples
who live in backward areas where communication and government
are undeveloped, Once seekers of freedom, these peoples, after
being tilled with the distortions of the IUS information program , turn against freedom, All attempts at negotiations by students of freedom-loving countries with students of IUS end in
failure. The IUS, whose policies are determined by the Soviet
Unfon , cannot let negotia tions succeed because such action would
challenge the sway of the Soviet Union in areas of the world
where student opinion is especially crucial and where national
destiny is not yet decided, The policies of the IUS give no promise of changing as long as the foreign policy of the Soviet Union
does not change.
Lowenstein stressed the need of education to instill into students ' lives those values that will put our great technical "knowhow " and modern scientific achievement to work as weapons for
the amelioration and enrichment of lives of human beings throughout the world, He called on peace-loving students of the world
to "meet terror with honor , malicious attacks with facts, and force
with the weapons of truth , "

of John Dobriboli , the Lituanian
immigrant. A few B.S.T.C. students , among them John Buynak
and John Klotsko, have , in the
past, amused their listeners with
the Dobriboli epic. We feel that
under the pen of a skillful writer
who knows him and speaks his
language, John Dobriboli will be
able to take his place next to Hyman Kaplan and other classic, humorous, immigrant , literary personalities. If you haven 't heard
about John Dobriboli from the lips
of Buynak or Klotsko , you have
missed something really entertaining. We here attempt to tell you
something of his story, in his own
words , as related to us by John

Labor men charge that the Soviet Embassy in Wasliington employed non-union plumbers. We
suppose that the Soviet defense is,
of course, that the plumbers were
volunteers, that they came into
the Embassy in the interest of
peace, and that there can be no
further discussion of the matter
until the union leaders withdraw
from the picture.
While on the subj ect of volunteers, we doubt that all of those

Guidance —A Service to Students
By Michael Dorak
If you are one of the students who have a hard time finding
Num ber 82 Noetling Hall , the office of the Assistant Dean of
Wom en , Miss Mary E. Macdonald , it is at the end of Fisher 's
Alley ¦— one door from the office to which most studeijfs of
B.S.T.C. finall y find their way during their college career. In
a ddition to her duties as Assistant Dean of Women, Miss Macdonald is also concerned with the problems of the students, both
sch ol astic an d per sona l , in her capacity as Guidance Counsellor.
Graduating with a B.A. from the University of Michigan and
an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University, Miss Macd ona ld taug ht Social Studies and Languages ( Latin and French )
in the Plymouth Township High School for two years and in the
Berwick High School for nine years. From 1938 to 1942 , sh e was
[ ho. Student Personnel Counsellor on the staff of the Dean of
Women an d head of Residence Hall at Winthrop College, Rock
Hill , South Carolina. While employed in that capacity, sh e was
president of the State Branch of the Amgrican Association of
University Women. Although Miss Macdonald enjoyed her soj ourn in South Carolina , sh e con f esses of drea ding to h ear t h e
te l ep hone ring because of her inability to understand the different
Southern dialects of which , according to her , there are about nine.
Her next position was as head of residence in Hartl y Hall ,
Columbia University, but a call to the Navy in 1942 cut this
position short; she was commissioned a Lieutenant (j.Q. ) and was
stationed at Smith College , Stillwater , Oklahoma. While Lieutenant in the Navy, Miss Macdonald' s d uties were of a soci al
nature , being director of publication stock section at Pearl Harbor.
She was discharged from the Navy in 1946 and accepted a position as head of residence , Barnar d College , a post which she held
for three years prior to accepting the position as Coordinator of
Guidance Services at B.S.T.C.
Incoming freshmen get to know Miss Macdonald because of
her work in the Orientation classes and with the giving of the
placement tests, but there are many in the student body who are
not familiar with her work at B.S.T.C.
A typical interview with Miss Macdonald is set forth in the
following paragraph and can be had without the formality of
being summoned to her office. Incidentall y, students should have
no fear of seeing her when their names are placed on the bulletin
board requesting their presence for an interview , because those
who do very well in the placement tests are called in as well as
those students whose profile shows a lack of understanding or
weakness in the various fields tested.
When the studen t enters her office , the friendly nature of
Miss Macdonald is immediately felt. In order to relax the visitor
and otherwise make the student feel free to confide in her , small
talk is carried on; then the student 's profile is reviewed, in order
to show him the pattern of the test responses as well as the total
achievement. This of course does not mean that the total score
has not value, but by itself it is rather inadequate, especially for
guidance purposes.
The tests given are definitely not a waste of time and provide the administration and teachers with valuable information.
All students should be interested enough to seek information concerning their capacities in the various fields as charted on their
profile.
Miss Macdonald will welcome the opportunity to show students how they have done in the placement tests by means of their
charted profile, Her main interest is in students who do not use
their entire scholastic potential, It might be a step in the right
direction if you were to visit room Number 82 , Noetling Hall before the close of school and talk over your problems.

One^Point Decision
To Shippen sburg
Coach Shelley 's basketeers, playing without the services of Walt
Banull and Bob Andrews for the
[firs t time in four years, dropped a
tone-point decision to visiting Shipbensburg on Jan. 27 in an exciting
67-56 struggle on the Centennial

game the Huskies enjoyed a 12point lead. This was the result of
some very accurate shooting that
saw 5 of the first 6 shots drop
th rough the hoop. Then the height
of Bob Chubb began to show its
ad vantage and- by half-time the
Huskies lead had been chopped to
a mere two points leaving a score
of 28-26.
Immediately following the intermission the Raiders from Cumberland County took the lead and
were never headed after that ; the
Huskies did manage to tie the
score at 48 late in the game only
to see the Shippers prevail.

of Byham 's seven field goals came
in the closing minutes of the contest and enabled the Huskies to
stay in the ball game. The foul
sh ooting of the Huskies was very
good , as they sank 10 out of 13 f<->"
one of their best averages of the
year at the penalty line.
Big Bob Chubb gave a good account of himself as he played his
last game before a Bloomsburg
crowd. He finished the game with
26 points and proved even more
valuable to the Shippensburg cause
by controlling both backboards.
The Huskies' record now stands
at 3 wins and 6 defeats, but this
should be improved, as all the
hardest games have been played.

Up to and including the Shippensburg game of January 27, the
Husky Hoopsters had massed a total of 495 points, or 55 marks per tilt.
In the meantime, the opposition had scored 555 points, or 61.6 counters
in each battle. While the Shellymen had copped only two of these decisions , three of the losses were inflicted by the margin of five points or
less. Had the Huskies been able to tally four goals in the two_ Shippensburg battles, they could have netted the victories in both games; the
final scores were 64-59 and 57-56, both in favor of the tall Red Raiders.
Also of note in the first nine games was the lack of scoring punch
against the powerful Bald Eagles from Lock Haven. In those two tilts,
the Maroon and Gold could hoop only 77 points, or 38.5 tallies per contest . Lock H aven , on the other hand, totaled 132 markers, winning both
decisions by twenty-five points or more. Reaching their scoring peak in
the fray with Harpur, the B.S.T.C. boys dumped in 75 counters for the
individual high season 's total. The lowest score of the campaign was a
32-point effort against Lock Haven, on the Centennial Gymnasium court.
Bloomsburg has little chance of finishing the season with more victories
than losses, but here's hoping the boys come through in the final battles

The Huskies ended a four game
losing streak on January 17 when
they defeated a scrappy Harpur
quintet 75-68 at Centennial Gymnasium. The teachers garnered
twenty-six counters in the third
period which provided the necessary needed for victory.
Chuck Daly racked up 20 points
to pace the Huskies in scoring. He
scored five of his 10 field goals in
the third quarter. Dave Linkchorst
and Buck Byham were the other
two Shellymen who hit the double

For the first nine games this

On Saturday evening, February
3, the Huskies j ourneyed to Mansfield to meet and defeat the Mountaineers on their home court, 7266. Paced by Don Butler's fine 26
point effort, the Shellymen trailed
only in the first half , then put on
the pressure in the third and
fourth stanza to cop their fourth
decision in ten starts.
Mansfield opened the first canto
with an outburst of goals which
netted them a 24-13 advantage at
the end of the first quarter. With
Jimmy Thompson and Butler ripping the cords during the second
frame, the Huskies closed the gap,
and the Mountaineers trotted off
the floor at halftime with a 35-32
lead.
With Butler and Thompson again
shining in the third quarter, the
Maroon and Gold dumped in 26
markers to Mansfield's eight to
take the lead, 58-43 at the end of
the quarter. Of the 26 Husky
points tallied, Butler and Thompson tallied all but two.
In the last six minutes of .the
battle, Coach Shelly sent in the
second team. Mansfield promptly
cut the lead to 11 points with two
and a half minutes remaining in
the fracas. At this point, Bloom
tried to freeze the ball, but was
unsuccessful. The Mountaineers
rallied to creep within six points,
but the game ended, and the
Huskies walked off the floor with
the decision their first in three
weeks.
In the preliminary battle, Doc
Wagner's proteges continued their
winning ways by trouncing the
Mansfield Frosh by a 50-39 count.
Kopec led the local pups with 19
tallies.
On Saturday night the Shellymen will travel to meet Kutztown.
The powerful down-state squad
has been winning consistently so
they should provide much opposition for the Huskies.

Banull Playing for
Williarns port Pros *
Walter Banull , former Plymouth
High School athlete and star for
the Bloomsburg Huskies for the
past four years, signed with the
professional Williarnsport Billies
last week.
Walt , as versatile a player as
ever donned the Maroon and Gold
basketball togs, led the way alon g
with Ed Jones to the Huskies successful campaign last year, and
before his graduation last month,
he consistently made the Shellymen a threat on the basketball
courts throughout this section of
the state.
In his debut on Saturday evening, February 3, Banull was held
scoreless but was used for only a
part of the Billies game. Here's
hoping that Walt will make his
pro career as successful as his past
college career here on the Hill.

The ¦'revolt at the small mid.western college had been a complete • success, and Joe Cram complacently chuckled to himself. He
had led the students in an uprising
and they had overthrown and conquered the fiendish enemy of all
students—the faculty. Now things
would be different , thought Joe, as
he lit a cigarette with nis economics report.
Joe propped his feet on the desk
of the former president , leaned
back in his chair, and blew smoke
into the president's face. He then
told the peasant president that he
was dismissed until 4 a.m. At 4
a.m. Joe wanted his nails manicured.
Joe then started his inspection
of the school under the new regime. First he strolled up to the
typing room where the typing instructor was surrounded by a
group of students, who were rolling his nose through a typewriter.
They then typed out FACULTY
on his nose, so that everyone
would recognize "what an uncouth
heine he was.
Joe then ambled toward the Biology lab. On his way he met the
ex-dean. He returned the dean's
salute, and walked into the lab.
He found two lab instructors frying the lab lizard. "What' s going
on here," screamed Joe. "We're
j ust hungry, we haven't eaten for
five day s," one instructor meekly
said. "All right, but remember if
you step out of line your limbs get
stretched on the rack," said Joe
with authority.
The school has improved a great
deal, mused Joe as he started toward Hapless Science Hall. "Faster," he cried, as he put the whip
to another instructor who was
carrying him piggy-back. The instructor quickly responded and
they galloped down the path to
Hapless Hall.
Joe hitched the instructor to a
tree, and sauntered into Hapless.
He saw an English instructor digesting Homer. He was on page
234. He, too, must be hungry,
thought Joe.
Joe leisurely strolled into the
auditorium where a psychology instructor was the guinea pig for an
e x p e r i m e n t called "HOW TO
STUDY with only your shorts on."
Joe cackled with delight.

"THE KEYSTONIAN"
The question this week deals
with a newcomer in the wild blue
yonder : "What do you think about
the so called 'Flying Discs' or
'Saucers'."
James Ferdinand—"I think they
are secret weapons—yet to be disclosed by the war department."
Graydon C. Wood—"If the 'Flying Discs' are real, they are the
best guarded secrets the United
States has."
Herman Funlt— "There are a lot
of planets in the universe and
some of them may have people
that are more ' civilized than we
are. Flying Discs could be j ust
plain visitors."
Thomas Johnson— "Read Frank
Scully's book, 'Behind the Flying
Saucers,' for the answer. They are
real. "
Ray Wagner— "Did you see the
picture in the Columbia Theatre ?
To me the Flying Saucers are real.
Why would the air line pilots lie
about such fantastic discs if they
did not see them."
Stan Aagiuird—"The people that
saw them make me feel as if they
are real. I think that they will be
the planes of the future."
Howard Marr — "The hundreds
of people that have seen these
discs can 't be mistaken. Therefore ,
if what they say is true, I believe
these saucer-like objects will prove
to revolutionize our mode of air
travel or cause our destruction."
June Long— "I t ' s extremely hard
to tell. There are so many views
and ideas. I am more inclined to
agree with many that they are
military secrets and actually exist."
"You don 't love me as much as
you did — lately you leave before
