New Ruling Defers
Man y Students fr om
Pres ent Draft Law

On Saturday, M arch 31, President Truman issued a new proclam ation , temporarily def e r r i n g
many college students from the
present draft law . As the order
now stands , draft boards have
been ordered to pass over students
who rank high in their respective
classes or who pass a special aptitude test to be given in a thousand
testing centers throughout the
country .
To be deferred , a sophomore
must have been in the upper half
of his class during his freshman
year; a j unior in the upper two
third s during his sophomore year;
a senior in the upper three-lourths
of his j unior year. If these qualifications are not met , the studen t
will have to pass the test which
will be given free of charge onward from May 26.
At present, in computing the
male student's standing in his
class, women students are counted. However, it is expected that
eventually this plan will change,
thus allowing a chance for larger
deferments for the male students.
It is expected that the new policy will have little effect on college
enrollments. The number unable
to pass the test will probably balance the regular number of students who norm ally drop out of
college every year.
The qualification tests will be
given by the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, N.- J. The organization has conducted entrance
examinations for many colleges
and is of non profit nature.

Seniors Engage in
Spirited Argument
Over Class Memoria l

During a meeting held in Carver Auditorium on March 28,
members of the class of 1951 decided to hold their Senior Ball and
Banquet at the Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas. Dick Kressler ,
president of the class, presided
over the meeting.
Russell 'Davis, class treasurer,
notified seniors that dues must be
paid by April 7.
A lively argument arose in the
class meeting concerning the selection of a class memorial. Due
to the governmental restriction of
the use of bronze , the memorial
committee reported that the original class choice to have a bronze
husky dog could not be realized
but that a husky dog might be
made of marble and placed in
Centennial Gym. One faction of
the class obj ected and asked that
the class money be donated toward a college lodge. A vote was
taken but was disregarded in favor of a written ballot. Ballots will
be sent to January seniors so that
the tabulation will be valid.
Although the class has determined the site of the ball , the orchestra has not been chosen. Lee
Vincent will be invited to provide
the music at the affair; should he
refuse, Jack Melton will be Invited.
The 1951 graduates voted that
the manner of dress for men be
optional , either light or dark coats
with tuxedoes.
After reports by class committees, the meeting was adjo urned.

Famed Westminster Choir Presents
Concert in Carver Hall Auditorium
Receives Wide Acclaim
In Final Program of
Entertainment Series

On Monday, April 2, an ensemble from the famed Westminister Choir College of Princeton ,
N. J. presented a varied concert
in Carver Hall Auditorium as a
conclusion to this season's evening
entertainment series.
The Choir began the program
with a group of four religious selections ranging back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The songs expressed the great
formality and classicism of that
period of history. During the last
selection , Psalm 100, the Choir
broke up and sang against each
other by forming three separate
smaller contrasting choruses.
Following these numbers , three
violin selections were played by
Nicholas Harsanyi, head instructor of instrumental music at Westminster Choir College. He also
served as violin accompanist for
the group further in the program.
Following Mr. Harsanyi, the
Choir sang a group of four varied
songs. Among them were "The
Wassail Song, " an English folk
tune, and "Haste Thee Nymph ,"
by Han del , the tune and lyrics of
which proved greatly entertaining
to the audience.
Following the intermission, the
Choir, presen ted several unusual
numbers, among them being three
folk songs which were arranged
for the Choir by the famous ballad
singer , Tom Jones. The mood of
"Go Down Death ," a traditional
death chant , was set by a tomtom beating in the distance. "The
Creation," a spoken narrative accompanied by song, met with the
appreciative applause of the audience.
Concluding the section on American folk music , the Choir x'endered four better known selections,
among them "Skip to my Lou, " an
early American square dance, and
"Great Day ." The entire program
was vastly enj oyed by the audience.
This year marks the 30th season
that the Westminster Choir has
appeared before the concert public. The founder and present conductor of the Choir is John Finley
Williamson. He is also the founder
and president of the college. Mr.
Williamson first o r g a n i z e d the
Choir to serve as a volunteer chorus for the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Dayton , Ohio. Although the Choir is no longer
church affiliated , it has maintained the name as identification
through the years.
The first members of the Choir
were business men and women
and housewives who devoted their
spare hours to singing.
Today, Mr. Williamson has built
a highly trained group of singers,
selected from the college student
body of four hundred. The Choir
has sung throughout the United
States, Cuba, and Canada. During
two tours It sang in over fifteen
European countries, stretching
from England to Russia. It has
made over one hundred orchestral
appearances In the last ton years.
These included appearances with
the New York Philharmonic, NBC
Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra , Rochester Philharmonic, and
Baltimore Symphony .

Mayor of Allentown
To Be Principal
Conference Speaker

On Thursday, March 29, the
Bloomsburg Civic Music Association presented the last of a series
of concerts to be held this season.
Featured on the program were
Francis Greer and Mario Berini ,
soprano and tenor members of the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
Performing to a capacity audience in the Bloomsburg High
School auditorium , Miss Greer and
Mr . Berini presented a variety of
musical selections, singing separately and in duets. Royal Hinman
was accompanist for the pair. Unfortunately, Mr. Berini had contracted a difficult case of laryngitis and , wishing to fulfill his engagement, was forced to sing at
times in a falsetto voice. This,
however, detracted little from the
performance as a whole, and Mr.
Berini was able to finish the progr am.
Miss Greer has long been included among the top ranking
singers on the American concert
and operatic stage. She has appeared regularly on radio, in summer opera, and in music festivals.
She is also a popular recording
artist and has appeared *as soloist
with our great symphony orchestras.
Mario Berini has travelled well
over a million miles in the course
of his concert and operatic career.
He too has had many engagements
on radio, with symphony orchestras , and as a recording artist. He
has starred in both the San Francisco and Metropolitan Opera
Companies and has given many
concerts in Carnegie Hall.

Oriental Theme and
Floor Show Pro mise
Unique Prom

The last all-college dance of the
school year will be staged this
evening in Centennial Gymnasium , when mem bers o£ the Junior
Class will hold their Junior Prom.
Dancing will be from nine to
twelve, with music provided by
Al Anderson and his or chestra.
The affair will have an Oriental
theme with the setting in an oriental garden, complete with pagodas , willows, lanterns, and dragons. Tables and chairs will be situated in various parts of the gym
so that guests can comfortably
rest while not dancing to the
pleasing strains of the orchestra.
An air of romance will be secured
by having a candlelight atmosphere.
A floor show that promises all
the glamour of an Oriental night
club is planned for the intermission.* The show, directed by Dick
Powell, will feature a chorus of
B.S.T.C. beauties.
The intent of the Junior classmen is to present an affair which
will linger long in the memories
of students of the "Friendly College on the Hill." With this idea
in mind, the various committees
have been working for some time
in preparation for the event. General chairman for the dance is
Joyce MacDougall. Clifton Clarridge headed the orchestra corn- ^"

Among wires , microp hones , and blinking lig hts , a dail y fifteen minute commentary called "Datelines " is presente d at 4:15
over WCNR . Playing a vital part in this program is Dr. Harrison
Russell's comm entary on the world news. "Views Behind the

Dr. Russell is head of the geograp hy d epartment h ere at

ra dio work is merely a side line and not another profession. Alt h oug h this work takes up a considerable amount of time , approximate ly five to six hours weekl y, Dr . Russell trul y enjoys it.
Dr. Russell has been ' on the air now for three years. He
first started broadcasting when two of his students were at
W CNR and happened to comment on the keen ability which Dr.
Russell showed while speaking on world affairs in his classroom.
Exact ly one day later Dr. Russell received a call from the studio ' s

Oratorical work in college broug ht much experience and confidence to Dr. Russell , an d he strong ly suggests that those interested in radio work should practice through public speaking and

35 Track Candidates
Report to Coach
Shelly for Workouts

Approximately thirty-five candidates have reported to Coach
Harold Shelly to begin training
for the 1951 track campaign. A
preliminary forecast reveals that
the following men will probably
be used in the various events. It
is much too early, however, to
make any definite statement;
practice has been hampered severely by bad weather, Rain has
made the practice field too soggy
and muddy for practice much of
the time , and the squad has been
forced to remain inside. We predict that the following trackmen
will be out for the positions listed:

As another track season rolls around , Husky fans look forward to
seeing more thrilling exhibitions from B.S.T.C.'s high flying pole vaulting champion , Frankie Womer. Womer set a Teachers College record
last year as he sailed over the, bar at the 12 ft. 6 inch mark. Frank is
looking forward to another banner season.

I ocker ^w " Lingo
by Harry Brooks
For the first time in many a year, or for the first time in B.S.T.C.
history, the Maroon and Gold baseball and track squads will compete
with several powerful teams from all over the state. For example,
Temple, formidable power of the eastern sector of Pennsylvania will
battle Bob Redman's nine in the middle of the forthcoming campaign,
St. Francis, tiptop small power of Loretto, Pennsylvania, will send its
track and diamond team to the Hill this year for battles with both
B.S.T.C. teams. A new addition in the form of Trenton Teachers will
also appear on the Hill for the first time. Perhaps this is the first step
of many of the state liberal arts colleges to drop their old policy of
playing only other liberal arts schools and show their willingness to
battle state schools. We hope so, anyway. This move would certainly
make for more attractive schedules here at Bloomsburg and at other
state teachers colleges.
Since everyone else seems to begin ju st about this time of the year
to predict how the major, league races will end up come next October,
this crystal ball will make a stab at the final league standings. Here
they are, my guess is as good as yours.
AMERICAN LEAGUE

1. Boston — the Redsox again look like the best team on paper, all
around that is, but in the last three years, this has been the case.
This year , they can't fail, it's against the law of averages.
2. New York — the Yankees will still be the team to beat, but weaker
pitching than last year might well put a damper on their pennant
dreams.
3. Detroit — the Tigers also have felt the draft blow away some of
their hurling power in the form of Art Houtteman. With little changes since last fall, they should play just about the same type of good
ball.
4. Cleveland — the Indians will be tough and probably give everybody
in the league trouble as usual. However , how far can you get with
a Lemon ?
5. Chicago — constant improvement where improvement is necessary
will make the Whitesox a formidable foe , not pennant material, but
a tough team.
6. Washington — where can you go without pitching . . . to sixth place
of course!
7. St. Louis — the Browns are improving from year to year with the
net result that they keep coming closer to the first division. This is
not their year to make the big hop.
8. Philadelphia — even some of the changes in the front office won't
net the Athletics much breathing room from last year's cellar position. About the highest they could hope to climb is to sixth place, and
the Senators and the Browns will have something to say about that.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
1. Brooklyn — the Dodgers late drive last season which scared the
Phils out of six year's growth and almost scared them right out of
the pennant will be enough along with the terrific team to shove
them to the top spot.
2. New York — the Giants wore a powerful club late last season and
should take over where they left off. If they get added pitching
strength , they could gvab the top bill.
3. Philadelphia — the uncertainty of Ken Heintzelman and the loss of
Curt Simmons via the draft has made the Phils much weaker. Also
the great standby, Jim Konstanty has had trouble during the Spring.
This could be cause enough to worry.
4. Boston — Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain, How long will they last?
5. St. Louis — the Cards have pitching but it is aging like the rest of
the team. With a few bad breaks they could easily end up in the
bottom of the second division , but t h ey h ave enou gh v eterans to k eep
them close to the money boys.
Pittsburgh
— they have added little in the wny of pitching and the
6.
catching Is a shak y situation. The only thine the Pirates have in
their favor is their frequent outbursts of hitting. This may be
troublesome for many of the topflighters , but it' s doubtful.
7. Chicago — the Cubs will still cause the Dodgers trouble, but they
have little more to offer than last year.
8. Cincinnati — there's little reason for the Reds to look forward to
the 1951 campaign. A few new additions here and there have not
ma de them much of a contender.
THE WARD FUND

The Ward Fund was established in memory of Miss Irmn It.
Ward by alumni who had worked
In the dining room while sho whs
college dietitian (1924-1939). Miss
Ward had been in the habit of
making small temporary loanR to
students and the dining room
alumni decided that a fund lo

make such loans would be an appropriate memorial to her.
Any student needing a small
loan to moot an emergency may
make application to Dean Kohr
who Is acting as treasurer for the
alumni committee. The Ward
Fund loans sums up to $25,00 lor
a period of time less than a somcster.

The H. E. Coalers defeated the
College Clowns in a knock-down,
drag-out affair in Centennial Gymnasium on Monday , April 2 to win
the National division and the right
to meet the Rambling Wrecks,
winner of the American Division,
in a play-off game to decide the
men's intramural basketball championship.
The game was a tight battle until nearly the very end, when "Big
John " Dietz was inserted into the
game. With seconds to go, Dietz
received the ball and by using a
series of contortions and gyrations, he threw the Clowns off balance. The effect was startling to
all the players on the floor , including Dietz. The result was that
"Big John " sprawled flat on his
face ; but before doing so, he let
go the basketball with a wild back
handed heave which plopped thru
the cords and scored the winning
fi eld ( ? ) goal.

Ramblin g Wrecks
Dump H. E. Coalers
In Title Match
The Rambling Wrecks, American Division titlists, put their undefeated string on the line yesterday into their loop title tilt with
the Harry E. Coalers, National
Section winners, and came out on
top to the tune of 39 to 31. The
Wrecks slowly built up a first half
lead, widened it in the third stanza , and held on to it to come out
on top and gain the loop crown.
After Reed of the Coaler five
scored the first bucket early in the
initial frame, the Wrecks came
back with one of their own by
Walt Montz to tie the game up
and a few seconds later took the
lead on a foul conversion by Mike
Durso. They never relinquished
the lead from then on , despite the
fact the Coalers only trailed by
one point , 7 to 6, as the first
period ended.
Scoring picked up in the second
quarter for the Wrecks. Led by
the fine shooting of Johnny Johnson and Gene Morrison who each
hooped two field goals, they boasted their half-time advantage to
six points, 18 to 12.
It was in the third period that
the Wrecks built up their lead until it was too much for the Coalers
to overcome, for , headed by Walt
Montz who hooped three field
goals and Johnny Dipico who got
two, they looped 14 markers while
holding the Coalers to 9, five of
which were coined by forward
Floyd Williams.
The Coalers may have been
down but not. out; for on field
goals by McLaughlin, Brennan ,
Williams, and Reed they came
back to outscore the victors 10 to
7 in the final frame and cut down
part of the eleven point margin
filed up in the first three periods
by the Wrecks.
Walt Montz for the winners ran
up the best individual total with
14 counters on 6 field goals and
two fouls while Charlie Brennan
with 11 and Floyd Williams with
8 were the mainstays for the
Coalers.
The victors scored 16 field goals
to the loser's 10 field goals. The
Coalers outscored the Wrecks by
tossing in 11 of 19 foul tries while
the winners made 7 of 12 tries
cood.

Motner .Nature continues to be

The main worry of the diamond
mentor is tne condition of his

sore arms. Seniors Mike Evans
and Don Kearns, veterans of the
squad, are Having shoulder muscle
trouble. Kedman hopes that both
pertormers can discard their ailments beiore tne opener at Wilkes
college on April 19.
So far the starting positions can
be only predictions on paper, but
unless there are startling changes,
the crystal ball sees the veterans
irom last year holding their spots ,
with very promising newcomers
moving into tne gaps left by graduation. \ve predict the lineup this
vvay : lanky Dick Ledyard will hold
down the initial sack, with Dick
j tiummel at second base and Jimmy Thompson at shortstop. Opening at third will be Dave Linkchorst, versatile Husky athlete.
The outer gardens prove more difficult to predict ; Don Butler, veteran of three seasons, is sure of
the center field j ob. He will be
Hanked by two newcomers to the
Husky diamond: Joe Glosick, a
hard-niting, strong-armed leftfielder from Coal Township, and
"Mousey" Babs, lefty rightfielder
from Bloomsburg. Opening day
will probably find stellar "Greek"
Lambrinos behind the plate receiving the slants of a probable
four-man pitching staff composed
of Mike Evans, Don Kearns, Danny Fitzpatrick, and Bill Byham.
T hese men are all being pushed
for their positions by other aspirants who are anxious to wear the
Husky togs. Danny Boychuck, a
first baseman, Stan LeVan, veteran catcher . Clem Makowski, Russ
Hons, and "Chub" Sanders, all
pitchers, and Joe Barkley, an outfielder, show great promise and
will keep the starters on their toes
throughout the 15-game schedule.

THE SERVICE MEN'S CORNER
In keeping with the policy of the C.G.A., copies of the Maroon and
Gold are being sent to those former students who have left for the armed services.
The response from the G.I.'s has been heartening. We have been receiving letters from all theatres of operations. We feel that by sending
the M. & G. to the servicemen , we are in keeping with the spirit of "The
Friendly College on the Hill ," and renewing old friendships.
This column is to be a regular feature in the M. & G. We are asking
those who have addresses of servicemen to give the addresses to Jeanne
Ruckle or Marie Mattis so that we can send the M. & G. to these men
and women.
We also would like to hear from those in the service, for we feel
sure that what they have to write will be of interest' to the entire college community .
