Why Are You at Bloomsburg?

Why did you come to* Bloomsburg ? For some of us, that
may be a difficult question to answer. To get an education , is t h at
your answer? Well yes , by coming to Bloom a person can get a
fine education if he puts effort and a conscientious attitude behind
all his work. Our teachers hel p us to a great extent , but education
depends mostly on our own personal interest and participation in
class.
"Are you getting the kind of education that you want?" is
anot her question to be aske.d of students. If the answer is no ,
w h ose f au l t is it ? I t may b e t h at t h e sch oo l is in error , but nine out
of ten times the fault is our own neqliqence.
Our education should include many subjects , some e»f which
appea l to us while others may seem boresome and a waste of time.
Althoug h they seem tiresome , those particular courses may be the
ones which will build up our cultural back groun d. Our fine arts ,
such as music , art , dramatics, and literature help in the developing
of well-liked personalities. To be successful in later life , we must
h av e k now l ed ge in many fields.
Here at Bloom , there are many opportunities to broaden and
en h ance our cu l tura l b ac kgroun d. We are given the wonderful
privilege of attending concerts without cost to us. Yes , we ar e
paying for the concerts through our activities fees, b ut h ow many
of us really take advantage of this opportunity to have an enjoyable evening ? Much of the world was built on music , and an increasing interest in it will enable you to lead a richer and more
satis f ying life.
Have you passed up some of the assembly programs? The
top ic may be deceiving, as many realized after hav::ng missed the
ch ance of he aring a spea ke r or enjoy ing a well-planned performance.
Build up your cultural background ; it makes up a large part
your
education. Books and schooling don 't cover all of it. By
of
ta k ing t he op p ortuniti es pres ente d to you , you will leave Bloomsburg with an increased knowledge. With such an education and
knowledge , you will not have far to go to get that coveted position
(A.G.)
in the 'world of today.

Election Cancelled

In order that the most capable candidates may be chosen for
the offices of the C.G.A., President Andruss has declared that the
faculty alone will choose those persons who will represent the
student body at the group 's meetings.
Of course you know that the above paragraph which you
have just read is NOT TRUE, but what if it were? What would
you as a member of the student body do?
Every girl and boy at B.S.T.C. would be up in arms because
they had lost their privilege as voters. They would shout that they
had lost their place in the democratic governmen t of their school.
Rallies would be started , signs constructed , meetings held , and
speeches offered in defense. All these actions would combine to
create a minor rebellion.
Everyone will agree that these reactions are only normal , but
must they occur only in defense of a wrong? Let 's have rallies
started , signs constructed , meetings held , and speeches offered ,
not for the right to vote; but to create support for your candidate!
Think , for just a moment , erf the wonderful opportunity each
person has to elect his chosen representative to office. Yet there
are those who do not use this privilege, To be sure , they are the
ones who would cry loudest about the injustice done them if their
privilege to vote were taken away,
This C.G.A , election is expected to be one of the biggest and
most successful ever held here. Every student is urged to come
out and support his favorite candidates and to witness the actual
use of a votin g machine contributed by Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
Let 's have the choice of the students elected to the offices of
C.G.A, Get out and vote for your candidates on March 13.

He was indisposed . . .
No reflection on C.G.A. in tended
by .last week's Silent Suzy operation. Great effort was made to
have Suzy put them into serviceable condition. Tony Grabowski,
President, made bi-weekly visits
to Shamokin, at an expense (to
himself) of about $2. per trip. Mr.
Vumbico was usually not at home.
Tony phoned him at least four
times weekly (at his own expense). Mr. VumToico was usually
indisposed. By the time last week's
column went to press, the C.G.A.
had notified Mr. Vumbico that he
had breached the contract and
would be paid no more for the
services of silent Suzy. It was he
who hi-jacked the defunct j ukebox two Saturdays ago. The C.G.A.
is now attempting to convince Mr.
V. to reimburse us to the tune of
$35. or suffer legal repercussions.
The latest contestant for the juke
box parade is rather boxy but not
too j ukey. When installed it was
supposed to be fool proof , but
some fool found proof that it
wasn 't. It has gone down for the
count twice already and Mr. Kimmel, of Bloomsburg, who has our
new j uke-box contract, ( poor man )
says that if the wooden box
doesn 't discourage tinkerers, he 's
going to install a steel vault.
Campaign Quots . . .
Charles Brennan : "A campaign
speech is like a steer; a point
here , a point there , and a lot of
bull in between."
Henry Marini : "Help!"
Thom as An t hony : "I know what,
you 're thinking— "
Russell Looker : "There are t wo
obstacles in my life—Anthony and
Sheehan."
Francis Sheehan : "Co-eds will
be inspected , the undesirable will
be re-arranged. "
The views expressed herein are
not necessarily those of this paper

B.S.T.C. Loses a Friend
The students of B.S.T.C. learned recently that William E. Trump,
night watchman at this college for the past twenty-seven years had
succumbed to a heart attack suffered Wednesday February 21, following
an illness of several weeks. To all of us here at B.S.T.C , Bill , as he
was known to his many student and faculty friends, was always a real
friend with a warm smile and cheerful word, no matter where or when
he met you. Consequently, we feel that in Bill's passing, we have lost a
truly fine friend.
Twenty-seven years is a long time and Bill shared a great part of
those twenty-seven years with the students of this college, for Bill was
a very important part of student life. He never failed to be on guard
at any type of athletic contest, and on the evening before the games
took place, Bill' s smile of confidence was never absent from the pep
rallies and parades. No matter what the event, whether a social affair
or an athletic contest, we could count on Bill's presence. The firs t person we went in search of when the lights suddenly went out or a similar
emergency occurred was our friend Bill. In short, whatever involved
the students of B.S.T.C. also involved Bill Trump.
The Waller Hall girls will never forget the many things that Bill
did for them during the years that he was with us. In addition to his
regular duties, he found time to chase away an occasional bat that had
become annoying and to get rid of a few ra ts and mice that had established a reign of terror in Waller Hall. Perhaps one of the nicest things
Bill found time to do for the girls in the dorm was to collect their letters
during the night. He realized how much those letters meant to the girls
and his hand placed thousands of them in the mailbox for them. These
were all little things, but they were the things that made him beloved

As a small token of their appreciation for the things that Bill had
done for them, the Waller Hall girls sent a beautifu l basket of red
snapdragons and yellow daffodils to the funeral home. The Community
Government Association also paid tribute to their friends with a handsome spray of red and yellow gladioli, which was sent on behalf of the
student body. On Friday evening a group of students called at the
funeral home.
Bill' s friends cannot be listed in numbers, for it is impossible to
count them, but we know that wherever there is a man or woman who
was a student at B.S.T.C. during the past twenty-seven years, there
(AB )
also is a friend of Bill Trump.

William Kline Wins )
Chemical Rubber Co.
Award in Chemistry
Last year Mr. Lanterman was
sent a letter regarding the possibility of handling the program of
awards on the part of the Chemical Rubber Company of Cleveland,
Ohio. This concern is the sole
publisher of the very important
and useful "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics." The handbook
is often referred to as "the engineer 's bible " because it contains
so much information concerning
the scientific field. It consists of
almost 2,000 pages and sells for
$7.50. It is issued yearly .
Each year a copy of this publication is awarded to the person
making the highest grade in
Chemistry I. The leather cover is
engraved with gilt letters reading:
Complimentary award—Sponsored
by the Chemical Rubber Company
of Cleveland, Ohio — to B.S.T.C.
for the year 1950-1951.
Last year this handbook was
won by Hugh Elliot of Shickshinny. This year it was awarded
to William Kline , a sophomore.
Since both of these students are
science major s, the handbook will
undoubtedly prove most valuable
to them.

examples to the audience that by
working with the administration
more could be accomplished than
by working in opposition to it. In
conclusion, he stated "If there is
anything that the college hasn't
received, it is the students' fault ,
not the administration's. The voting today will decide whether this
statement will hold true."
Russ Looker was next introduced as a candidate for the presidency of C.G.A. His speech was
precise; he ended by stating, "You
are the judges. I now leave the
matter in your hands." His speech
was followed by the playing of a
campaign song.
The final c a n d i d a t e for the
office of president was Francis
Shoehan. The candidate promised
to be conscious of the needs and
desires of the students. In addition, he promised to publicize the
minutes of C.G.A. meetings where
everyone might see them. Two
cheerleaders led the singing of a
unique Sheehan campaign song,
Final C.G.A. elections will be
held next Tuesday,

health and health habits in the
athletic program. Carlson is wellqualified in this field , since he was

McMillan was , the next speaker
on the agenda. "Bo" t alked on
the necessity of the love of sports,
emph asizing the fact that the
mere ability to play in an athletic
contest is not enough ; rather, a
true love and interest in the game
are the prime essentials for successful sports competition. An ardent desire to win, to compete

the final wire is the most important trait in an athlete.

Mitche ll Leads in
Girls ' Intramura l
Basketba ll Lea gue

The four games played Thursday night , March 1, were the best
games so far during this 1951
to u rn ament , and they made a big
difference in team standings.
The first game of the evening
was between the two top teams,
those of Kitty Mitchell and Janet
Price, both of whom had won
three out of three and were battli n g for the number one spot.
From the first toss, the game was
full of action. This game was undoubtedly the fastest game of the
tournament. At the half the score
stood at 5-3, in favor of Mitchell.
The second half opened with its
usual speed , and when the third
quarter had rolled past, the score
had edged ahead to give Mitchell
a 5-point lead. The next quarter
found both teams very tired.
Price's forwards displayed almost
none of the kind of basketball
which had put them in a firstplace tie , and the beautiful dribbling of Winnie Sharkey was finding the weak spots in the zone defense of Price's guards. The end
of the game found Mitchell with a
16-8 win , putting them at the top
of the tournament ladder. Captain
Kittv Mitchell was high scorer ,
and 'Walters was high for Price.
The second game of the evening
was between Young, who was in
second place, and Baer , in last
place. Young's forwards handled
the ball during the first half , scoring 20 points to Baer's 2. Laura
Philo played excellent ball , making 18 out of the 20 points. During
the second half , Young's team
again took full possession of the
b all , with the final score of 46-2.
Philo, undoubtedly one of the finest ball players of the tournament,
made 33 of the 46 points.
The third game was between
Stec and Felker. Both teams play ed good ball throughout the game.
During the first half , Stec's forwards handled the ball most of
the time. Felker's guards played
close contact to the men they
were guarding; all of them played
good ball. A good little freshman
guard to keep your eye on is Mar
Wetzel; she's a good ball player.
The game ended with a score of
24 to 19, In favor of Felker. High
scorer on the winning team was
Korba, also one of the outstanding
forwards of the tournament , with
15_points out of the 24.
The last game of the evening
was between Thompson and Meier.
Judy Fry, who played on a championship basketball team in high
school, opened the game with a
lay-up shot, The first half of the
game was played fast, as both
teams needed this win to keep
them in the standings. Thompson's

Maroon & Gold photographer, Keith Smith, got an excellent shot of

The high school basketball tournament is now in full swing up in
Centennial Gymnasium. Over ten games have now been played in the
initial round of playoffs. Mr. Hoch reports that he has had trouble in
rounding up a fine selection of class A and B teams, but the tournament
will not lack the color and thrills that have so marked the event in the
last several years. The finals of the tournament will be held a week
from tomorrow night.
Does anyone know whatever happened to that wrestling team we
were supposed to have this winter ? ¦
The hit song: of some years back, "There'll Be Some Changes Made,"
will certainly apply to many of this year's major league baseball teams.
For example, the Pittsburgh Pirates are attempting- to make a first
baseman out of left fielder Ralph Kiner; the Cards plan to shift Musial
to center field for good ; there's a chance that Clint Hartung may play
the outer pastures for the Giants instead of pitching. The season really
looks as If It will be mighty interesting. And since everyone likes to
pick the race just as it will end up in October, how about putting- the
teams on paper the way you think they will end up ? The accumulative
results will be decided in this way : if you rank a team first , they will
be given eight points, and so on down the line. The total points of each
team will be added up, then published in the next issue. Put your selections in box. 254 before Tuesday noon or give them to me. Thanks.
The Husky Basketeers ended their 1950-51 campaign with a bright
68-57 victory over Kutztown's Golden Avalanche. The final season
record was nine wins against seven setbacks. Sophomore Chuck Daly
was high point-maker for the evening, with 23 markers ; he ended the
season as the Maroon and Gold scoring ace. Next year's Husky schedule
will have most of the same foes on it, with two possible exceptions. The
powerful West Chester squad will visit the Husky den , and the Shellymen will trek out to Indiana for their third battle with that school.
Last Thursday night's huge banquet at the Caldwell Consistory was
one of the best in the history of the nine year old affair. Over five
hundred eager sports fans attended the fete to hear "Doc" Carlson and
"Bo " McMillan. Each of the Husky gridders and courtmen were introduced by coaches Redman, and Shelly.
On the intramural scene, the Barons won a thriller a week ago
Wednesday, after a double overtime period. Thus far that team had won
two games as of last Tuesday. Another team to watch is the Harry E.
Coalers, who have also chalked up two victories.
Mr, Sholly 's coll for track aspirants has brought him a fine turnout of Interested boys. This year's track team should make a better
showing than did the squad last year. An almost identical schedule is
planned this year. Formal practice began last Monday, with more extensive drills to take place after the ground dries.
Bob Redman, head basketball coach, has had a fine reply to his
desire for pitching and catching talent. He has amassed over fifteen
prospects in the Benjamin School gym for preliminary practice.

Note of Thanks ..

The administration would ime
to take this medium of communication to express their sincere
"thanks" for the fine cooperation
exemplified by the operators of
motor vehicles by compliance with
the newly Issued parking restrictions. Mr. Sharretts, head of
buildings and grounds, said that
forwards, Fry, Search, and Todd,
handled the ball with professional
skill. Jean Meier, captain , and Pat
Kistler played against a great
handicap, since their other forward was unable to make the
game. The final score was 15 to 5,
in favor of Thompson.

there has been but one violation
of parking restrictions opposite
North Hall since the "No Parking " signs have been erected. This
•response on the part of students
and faculty to this project will not
go unnoticed. The college will in
the near future begin construction
of a parking lot across the street
from Noetling Hall. The lot will
facilitate approximately 40 automobiles. Another proj ect will be
the hard surfacing of the parking
lot at Centennial Gymnasium.
These proj ects will beyond doubt
alleviate the trying parking situation which is present at this time.
However, until these projects are
completed, the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
hopes that the fine cooperation of
the student body will continue in
the future as it has in the past.

With the coming of Spring a
young man 's fancy turns to love
and young athletes' fancies to
baseball.

Redman has been working with
his aspiring candidates for the
past two weeks in the Benj amin

pleased with the progress of the
team so far, and he is especially
pleased with the eagerness of the
Freshmen try outs.

order to draw a composite conclusion.
Rev. James Robinson of the
Church of the Master, New Y or k
City, was the principle speaker at
a banquet held on Saturday night.
Rev. Robinson pointed out in his
speech, entitled "Does God Have
Anything to Say to Us in These
Chaotic Days?" that there is today, as n ever befor e, a greater
need for Christian living. As he
p u t it , people now are Christians
in name only. They fail to practice
all for which Christianity stands.
Rev. Robinson used America 's
racial problem to illustrate his
point. He stated that there are
over six million Negroes in America who are affiliated with no
church whatsoever, and the general attitude extended toward the
Negro is anything but Christ-like.
Rev. Fisher presented the second of his two addresses on "The
Living Word " on Sunday morning.
In this address, he elaborated
more f ully on the address he had
given on Friday.

What Do Yo u
Think?
by Robert Price
One advantage about being a
teacher is the vast working areas
from which one can choose to
teach. The question this week is,
"Where in the United States would
you like to teach, and why ? "
James Lesser — In New York
City because they pay considerably more money, and I like the
city better than the country .
Edward Gallagher—I n Pennsylvania because I like the tenure
act, and the salary schedule isn't
bad. The educational facilities are
fairly good, too.
Clem Makowski — Out West!
California. When school is over,
summer j obs are easier to get , and
teachers are paid better. The
climate is better and travel more
in teresting.
Harry Brooks — In New Jersey
or New York because the pay is
higher, and these places are more
centrally located. Their educational facilities are better.
William Radzwich—I would like
to teach in the Hazleton area because of the fine climatic environment. I'd like to be able to conduct a business outside of school.
John Kennedy — I would like to
teach around the Towanda area in
Northeastern Penna. because of
its small friendly towns.
Myrtle Megargel — I'd like to
teach in New York City because
it' s a nice place to live. You have
a great opport unity for cultural
advancement.
