Summer Workshop
Planned in Typin g
And Shorthand
One of the most interesting feat u res of the 1951 su m mer season
at B l o o m s b u r g State Teachers
College will be a combined Shorthand and Typewriting Workshop.
The purpose of the course will be
to enable seniors and graduates to
meet requirements for certification iin these subjects. Students
will be able to earn eight semester
hours credit in shorthand and four
semester hours credit in typewriting.
The Workshop will begin on
June 4 and continue through the
twelve weeks of the summer session. It will meet five hours daily,
with two sessions of ninety minutes each in shorthand and two
sessions of sixty minutes each in
typewriting. Gregg S h o r t h a n d
Simplified will be taught.
To be eligible for enrollment in
the workshop, one must be a senior or a graduate of an accredited
college , with a minimum of three
semester hours credit in shorthand
and two semester hours in typing.
Students meeting only this minimum will enroll for the entire
twelve weeks and will receive
ci'edit only on completion of the
course. Students with six semester
hours in typewriting will enroll
for a minimum of nine weeks in
the pre- and regular sessions;
their nine semester hour credits
will be distribu ted between short
hand and typing according to their
needs.
The course will be offered only
if twenty enrollments are received. Any interested persons, therefore , should notify the office of
the Dean of Instruction of their
desire to enroll.
Senior Ball Program
Committee Selects
Dance Programs
The choice of a dance program
for the Senior Ball has been announced by the Dance Program
and Distribution Committee. The
lucky girls going to the Senior
Ball will receive as souvenirs lovely dance programs consisting of a
mother of pearl-like cover with a
bright green paper backing, and a
green and white tassel. There are
two figures on the cover dressed in
a colonial fashion—the young lady
in a wide, hooped skirt, extending
her hand to a gentleman with a
military air , who is gallantly bowing over to kiss the damsel's little
dainty. The members of the Dance
Program and pistribution Committee are Merlin Beachell, Bloomsburg; Carleton Ermish, Berwick;
Max Kaplan, Bloomsburg; and
Nancy Powell, Scranton.
Dr. E. Paul Wa gner
Has Article Chosen
For Publication
An article by Dr. E. Paul Wagner, of the B.S.T.C. faculty, has
been selected by the Research
Council of the American Association for Health , Physical Education , and Recreation, for microcard publication. The article is
titled "Present Status of Required
Physical Education Programs for
Men in Colleges and Universities
Enrolling More Than Five Thousand Students." It was written as
a doctoral dissertation.
Microcards, published by the
Springfield College Research Council, are made of an article when

Above are several of the nearly two hundred couples who turned
out to attend one of the most successful proms held here in recent years.
E arly Response to
Commercial Contest
Pro mises Success
The annual Commercial Con-
test , sponsored by the Business
Education Club, will be held on
Friday, May 4, and Saturday, May
5, in Navy Hall. Eighteen schools
and over eighty-five contestants
have already entered the contest.
An announcement blank was
sent ou t , and the response to this
preliminary announcement was
considerably larger than in previous years. It is interesting to
note that many of our recent
graduates who are now employed
as teachers have expressed a desire to enter their students. Most
of the contestants already entered
in the contest are students of
B.S.T.C. graduates and students in
schools entering the contest for
the first time. Schools that have
been in the contest since its inception usually wait for the deadline before entering.
Committees have been appointed for the affair , and a contest
booklet has been prepared.
With one or two exceptions, all
of the exhibitors at the machine
show in 1951 have indicated that
they will be here again this year
unless conditions arise to prevent
their attendance. This show was
one of the most interesting features of the Commercial Contest
last year.
The contest will consist of tests
in typewriting, shorthand , bookkeeping, and business mathematics. At the present time, the
number of entrants in the business law examination is too few
to warrant holding an examination
in this subject. However, it is
hoped that the later entrants will
include a sufficient number of law
contestants to hold a contest in
this field as well.
The contest will begin with registration on Friday afternoon , May
4, from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. and Saturday morning from 8:30 A.M. to
10:30 A.M. The examinations will
be given from 11 A.M. to 12 noon.
The machine show and book exhibits will be held from 9 A.M. to
2 P.M. Contestants will eat luncheon in the college dining room at
12:45.

Announce s Plans for
Fashion Show
Mr. Charles H. Henrie, director
of the annual B. S. T. C. Fashion
Show, has announced that preparations for this year's aff air is
now in full swing.
Tryouts and several practices
have already been held. From over
thirty girls who tried out , approximately twenty-two models have
been selected.
Miss Nancy Swartz will be the
fashion co-ordinator, taking Nancy Wesenyak's place; and Lillian
Mlkvy is assuming the responsibility of store co-ordinator since
Miss Betty Ridall has graduated.
At a recent dinner meeting of
the Planning Committee, composed of merchants, students, and
members of the faculty, the following students were chosen to
act as store co-ordinators : Lillian
Mlkvy , Ka t hryn R hin ar d , Shirl ey
Ashner, Michalene Casula, Marie
Grazel, Jo a nn e Cu ff , Irene Eckert ,
Eleanor Bolinsky, Barbara Harman , Laura Philo, and Olive Hunter.
It was decided that a dinner for
the participants in the show should
be held some time after the event.
The dinner is provided each year
by the merchants who have merchandise displayed.

B.S.T.C. Student
Plans Summer Trip
To Central Europe
Miss Ann Gengenbach , a very
lucky freshman here at B.S.T.C,
is planning to spend her summer
vacation touring Central Europe
with her family.
The tour begins on June 7, in
New York when they will sail on.,
the "Mauritania, " one of the Cunard luxury liners and will include
tours through Paris, Austria , and
Switzerland. Approximately one
and a half months will be devoted
to extensive travel throughout
"Free Germany ." By free, Ann
moans those parts unoccupied by
Russia,
An interesting incident is that
• Ann and her sister, who were both
born in Philadelphia , had more
red-tape to go through in order to
got their visas than their naturalized parents.
Several points of Interest which
she and her family plan to "take
in " are : The Eiffel Tower, Arch
do Triumph , the Industrial Arts
Exhibition in Berlin, just a short
distance from the dreaded boundary Into the Russian zone, and the
well-known Passion Play held
each year at Oberamagua.
The trip, which will end on
August 17th, will be curtailed considerably as both girls will return
to school in early September.
Charles L. Maurer , of the faculty of Temple University High
School , in a letter published in
the Pennsylvania School Journal,
for M ar ch 1951, relates a revealing anecdote about Dr. William B.
Sut liff , Dean Emeritus of Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
Arguing for more sympathy and
appre ciation by teachers of students' work , Mr. Maurer tells of
this incident as an illustration of
the poin t he makes. "Many years
ago," writes Dr. Maurer, "a country boy. a t t e n d i n g a Normal
School, was struggling at a blackboard with a problem in algebra.
He was somewhat bewildered and
considerably discouraged. The instructor noticed that the student
was having trouble. He stepped to
the board and pointed out a simple error. The instru ctor might
have made some sarcastic remark,
but , instead , he put his arm
around the shoulders of the student and said in almost a whisper,
'It wasn't as hard as you thought
it was."
"Today, I remember this incident as vividly as though it had
happened to me yesterday; the
building, the room, even the blackboard beside the door. It has been
a cherished memory. Throughout
many years, at every opportunity,
I have retold the incident hundreds of times in my classes.
Judging by the rapt attention of

Curtain Time Set
For 8:15; College
Community Invited
The audience will be part of the
cast of the forthcoming presentation of the Bloomsburg Players ,
"Our Town ," to be staged in Carver Auditorium on April 17. Due
to the unique qualities of this
play, such as the .absence of any
stage set , the audience will become instrumental in creating the
total effect.
Thornton Wilde r ' s or igin al
Broadway version of the play received many commendations from
the New York press . . . "Warm
with gentie humor" . . . "Endlessly
entertaining" . . . "Unconventiona l
and intriguing" . . . "The life of
any town , of any human , from the
cradle to the grave." The last
quotation sums up "Our Town"
very well; for it is, in fact, the
story of small town America and
small town people — the kind of
people most Americans are ; and
all Am eric an s know . Th e li t tle
things that make the big thing
called "Life" are the subj ect of
this vivid dramatic cross-section
of h uman nature.
The preparation for "Our Town"
has involved the efforts of every
member of the Dramatic "Club.
Miss Johnston , Club director and
director of the play, has even gone
to such detail as organizing an
"Emergency Committee." The personnel of the play are as follows :

Better Loung e Week
lhe College Council has finall y decided that the college
lounge problem can no longer be evaded. It is time to come to
gri ps wit h the matter.
Because of this important decision , members of Council recently selected a committee , advised by Dr. Kehr , Mr. Hoch and
Mr. Redman , of the faculty, an d Herbert Kerchner, of t h e stu d ent
body, to conduct a vigorous campai gn f or "Better Lounge Week."
"Better Lounge Week" will begin this coming Monday. It
will be highlighted by sev eral outstanding events. Among these
will be a poster contest, a quessinq contest, and an all 'coll eae
dance.
The ooster contest is open to all members of the college community. The artist drawing the best poster illustrating the purposes and theme of "Better Lounge Week" will be awarded a
prize. Jud ges for the contest will be Mrs. Olive Beeman and Mr.
Charles H . Henrie.
Everyone is invited to enter the guessing contest which will

furniture to be displayed in the lounge. The gir l an d b oy coming
closest to the correct answer will each be awarded a prize. Mr.
Hoch and Mr. Redman have contributed the awards for the
contest winners.
Two other features of the event will be a dramatic skit in

Track Team Travels
To Scranton for
First Meet Apr. 18
The B.S.T.C. Husky track combination opens shop on Wednesday, April 18, when the Shelly men
i rave! to Scranton to tangle with
the outfit from Scranton University. Scranton University was the
only college over which the Huskies gained a victory last year in
their six meet* schedule. Bloomsburg 's winning margin was only
5% points; the contest ending
with Bloom getting 681/3 markers
to 622/3 for Scranton .
Lit tle is known about this year 's
Scranton track aggregation ; but
from the Husky side of the picture
we can, by looking at past performan ces of returning lottermen
and at those performances expected of new men on the team, jud ge
what to expect in this year 's meet.
With out taking into account any
secret weapon, the Scrantonians ,
who may have acquired a quick
review of most of the coming
events might give us something
like this.
High Hurdles — In last year 's
meeting Frank Womer and Hal
Lundy grabbed first and second
places respectively for the Huskies. Although Lundy has left via
the graduation route , we can still
expect plenty from Womer.
100 Yard Dash — Coach Shelly
may find a winner in this event in
a trio of sprinters th at includes
Tom Goodwin, Skip Berry , and
Bill Radzwich.
440 Run — Opposing the Scranton outfit here will be possibly Bill
Gilbert and Johnny Schwartz.
220 Run — Here the Shellymen
will probably have to depend on
speedy little Tommy Goodwin who
won last year against Scranton
with a time of 26 seconds. Look
for him to repeat.
880 Run — Joe Fiefer, Husky
middle distancer breezed in with
a first place against Seranton in
this event last year and it can be
hoped he will again this outing.
His last year 's time 2:14.
Broad Jump — Womer brought
home the bacon in this event for
the Huskies last year and it's hoped he can repeat in this one. He
can expect some aid from newcomer , Radzwich.
Javelin—Scranton won this last
year with a rather mediocre 159
foot heave. Tommy Spack, another new trackm an , can better this
if he continues tossing as he has.
High Jump—Here again Scranton came out first as Pearson
leaped 5 feet 8 inches. Sophomore
John Scrimageour is the main
Husky hope in the event in this
year's meeting.
Pole vault — It was strictly no
go last year for the Scrantonians
in this event as they didn't enter
a man in this event. State corecordholder , Frank Womer, should
probably take this one easily.
Shot Put — Scranton grabbed
first and second place in this one
last year and won with a very
poor 37 foot toss. Let's hope that
bunch of husky Huskies working
in this event do much better than
that to win this year.
Discus — Al Eremich took firs t
position for Bloom in this one vs.
Scranton and we believe we can
count on him for another good
throw this time out.

IPCKER M§- LINQO
by Harry Brooks
The 1951 addition of the Maroon and Gold baseball season opens
tomorrow afternoon in Wilkes^Barre when the Redman Huskies jo urney
to the Hub to meet the Colonels of Wilkes College. Last year, the
Huskies had little trouble with the rivals from up the river, beating
them both on the foreign field and on Mount Olympus. Starting tomorrow 's game will probably be the reliable lefty, Buck Byham. Buck
was the backbone of last year 's fine mound corp, who lost but a few
games, and had run their streak to 18 consecutive victories over the
1949 and 1950 seasons. Redman is the first to admit that this year's
pitching staff isn 't as strong as it has been in the past two years, but
we can all hope for the best, and possibly get it if the new additions to
the team perform as well as the veterans of the past have done.
Shelly 's trackmen start their improved schedule in the middle of
the week. The B.S.T.C. thinclads will travel to Scranton to meet that
city 's university. Shelly has more material with which to work this
year, so an improvement in the record books is in the offing despite the
very difficult schedule which faces the team. In addition to the early
schedule released, Bucknell University will battle the Husky thinclads
on the Bison track on May 14th. This, by the way, is the first time in
the history of the schools, who are only some 30 miles away, th at t he
varsities of the two institutions have met in a regularly scheduled
athletic contest. In practice tilts, the Bloomsburg football varsity have
swamped the Bisons. In turn , the Bucknell Frosh have consistently
romped over the Maroon and Gold Freshmen on the basketball courts
during the past few seasons.
Maj or league activity begins next week, both in the National and
American circuits. The press writers are generally sticking with the
annual favorites, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees. What
do you think ?
Newly-formed Spring intramurals under the direction of Dr. Wagner will soon begin, with Softball , tennis, and possibly a few other sports
embracing the card. One thing can be said about this; if the intramural
Spring sports are handled in as fine a manner as the recent basketball
intramural leagues were, this will be the most successful program in the
college's history. Congratulations to "Doc" Wagner and his assistants.
They are really doing a swell job.
Absentee Voting
In the very near future there will be circulated upon this
campus a petition urg ing the State General Assembly to amend
the constitution allowing absentee voting. This petition is one of
many that will be circulated on various campuses in this State by
members of the National Students Association Committee.
The arguments advanced in favor of absentee voting are as
follows :
1, 43 states now have absentee voting in one form or another. Pennsylvania has none .
2, Most students are denied the opportunity to vote since
they can afford neither the time away from their studies
nor the expense involved in traveling home to vote.
3, Students nttending college are denied residence in their
college town , according to past court rulings,
(a) his attending school or working away from home ,
(b) being bed-ridden because of serious illness, or
( c ) fi g hting for his country in a time of emergency.
5, Absentee voting, by expanding the franchise, can be an
undisputable answer to Coiiumini.st charges that onl y the
privileged in America have a voice in Government.
If the petition should prove successful, it would be a major
victory for the student movement , in that it would set up machinery which would make it possible for students of voting age to
cast their ballots without having to make trips home.
There is no good reason wh y students, or anyone temporarily
living away from home , should be forced into the inconvenience
of a trip home in order to vote in an election. A system of absentee voting would be far better Hum a student holiday on election day, or the present practice of excused absences for students
going home to vote,
Every student of thi s institution should be ready and willing
to sign the NSA petition and to give It his support unti l the issue
is fought throug h to its conclusion, (SY )

School Spirit —Where Is It?
Not many weeks ago our boys of Bloomsburg State Teachers
College were out on the football field playing their hearts out for
their school. Not many days ago they were running their heads
off on the basketball court, Now they are at it again—th is time
on the track field— and presently on the baseball field,
Has it ever occurred to you what a discouraging blow it is to
be greeted, as a cheerleader , by nine or ten voices out of seven
hundred? Think of it—nine or ten voices willing to exert a little
effort to support their school!
No one will challenge your statement when you say that you
arc tired after a hard day of classes. Are you, however, so worn
out that you can ' t even open your mouth? Those boys out on the
court are worn out , too; they had classes jus t as you did , but they
are never too tired to let their alma mater down.
Think about what I have said, and try to cooperate with
YOUR cheerleaders a little— it involves your school's reputation
in the field of sports. (DD)

Planned in Typin g
And Shorthand
One of the most interesting feat u res of the 1951 su m mer season
at B l o o m s b u r g State Teachers
College will be a combined Shorthand and Typewriting Workshop.
The purpose of the course will be
to enable seniors and graduates to
meet requirements for certification iin these subjects. Students
will be able to earn eight semester
hours credit in shorthand and four
semester hours credit in typewriting.
The Workshop will begin on
June 4 and continue through the
twelve weeks of the summer session. It will meet five hours daily,
with two sessions of ninety minutes each in shorthand and two
sessions of sixty minutes each in
typewriting. Gregg S h o r t h a n d
Simplified will be taught.
To be eligible for enrollment in
the workshop, one must be a senior or a graduate of an accredited
college , with a minimum of three
semester hours credit in shorthand
and two semester hours in typing.
Students meeting only this minimum will enroll for the entire

Above are several of the nearly two hundred couples who turned
out to attend one of the most successful proms held here in recent years.
E arly Response to
Commercial Contest
Pro mises Success
The annual Commercial Con-
test , sponsored by the Business
Education Club, will be held on
Friday, May 4, and Saturday, May
5, in Navy Hall. Eighteen schools
and over eighty-five contestants
have already entered the contest.
An announcement blank was
sent ou t , and the response to this
preliminary announcement was
considerably larger than in previous years. It is interesting to
note that many of our recent
graduates who are now employed
as teachers have expressed a desire to enter their students. Most
of the contestants already entered
in the contest are students of
B.S.T.C. graduates and students in
schools entering the contest for
the first time. Schools that have
been in the contest since its inception usually wait for the deadline before entering.
Committees have been appointed for the affair , and a contest
booklet has been prepared.
With one or two exceptions, all
of the exhibitors at the machine
show in 1951 have indicated that
they will be here again this year
unless conditions arise to prevent
their attendance. This show was
one of the most interesting features of the Commercial Contest
last year.
The contest will consist of tests
in typewriting, shorthand , bookkeeping, and business mathematics. At the present time, the
number of entrants in the business law examination is too few
to warrant holding an examination
in this subject. However, it is
hoped that the later entrants will
include a sufficient number of law
contestants to hold a contest in
this field as well.
The contest will begin with registration on Friday afternoon , May
4, from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. and Saturday morning from 8:30 A.M. to
10:30 A.M. The examinations will
be given from 11 A.M. to 12 noon.
The machine show and book exhibits will be held from 9 A.M. to
2 P.M. Contestants will eat luncheon in the college dining room at
12:45.

Announce s Plans for
Fashion Show
Mr. Charles H. Henrie, director
of the annual B. S. T. C. Fashion
Show, has announced that preparations for this year's aff air is
now in full swing.
Tryouts and several practices
have already been held. From over
thirty girls who tried out , approximately twenty-two models have
been selected.
Miss Nancy Swartz will be the
fashion co-ordinator, taking Nancy Wesenyak's place; and Lillian
Mlkvy is assuming the responsibility of store co-ordinator since
Miss Betty Ridall has graduated.
At a recent dinner meeting of
the Planning Committee, composed of merchants, students, and
members of the faculty, the following students were chosen to
act as store co-ordinators : Lillian
Mlkvy , Ka t hryn R hin ar d , Shirl ey
Ashner, Michalene Casula, Marie
Grazel, Jo a nn e Cu ff , Irene Eckert ,
Eleanor Bolinsky, Barbara Harman , Laura Philo, and Olive Hunter.
It was decided that a dinner for
the participants in the show should
be held some time after the event.
The dinner is provided each year
by the merchants who have merchandise displayed.

B.S.T.C. Student
Plans Summer Trip
To Central Europe
Miss Ann Gengenbach , a very
lucky freshman here at B.S.T.C,
is planning to spend her summer
vacation touring Central Europe
with her family.
The tour begins on June 7, in
New York when they will sail on.,
the "Mauritania, " one of the Cunard luxury liners and will include
tours through Paris, Austria , and
Switzerland. Approximately one
and a half months will be devoted
to extensive travel throughout
"Free Germany ." By free, Ann
moans those parts unoccupied by
Russia,
An interesting incident is that
• Ann and her sister, who were both
born in Philadelphia , had more
red-tape to go through in order to
got their visas than their naturalized parents.
Several points of Interest which
she and her family plan to "take
in " are : The Eiffel Tower, Arch
do Triumph , the Industrial Arts
Exhibition in Berlin, just a short
distance from the dreaded boundary Into the Russian zone, and the
well-known Passion Play held
each year at Oberamagua.
The trip, which will end on
August 17th, will be curtailed considerably as both girls will return
to school in early September.
Charles L. Maurer , of the faculty of Temple University High
School , in a letter published in
the Pennsylvania School Journal,
for M ar ch 1951, relates a revealing anecdote about Dr. William B.
Sut liff , Dean Emeritus of Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
Arguing for more sympathy and
appre ciation by teachers of students' work , Mr. Maurer tells of
this incident as an illustration of
the poin t he makes. "Many years
ago," writes Dr. Maurer, "a country boy. a t t e n d i n g a Normal
School, was struggling at a blackboard with a problem in algebra.
He was somewhat bewildered and
considerably discouraged. The instructor noticed that the student
was having trouble. He stepped to
the board and pointed out a simple error. The instru ctor might
have made some sarcastic remark,
but , instead , he put his arm
around the shoulders of the student and said in almost a whisper,
'It wasn't as hard as you thought
it was."
"Today, I remember this incident as vividly as though it had
happened to me yesterday; the
building, the room, even the blackboard beside the door. It has been
a cherished memory. Throughout
many years, at every opportunity,
I have retold the incident hundreds of times in my classes.
Judging by the rapt attention of

For 8:15; College
Community Invited
The audience will be part of the
cast of the forthcoming presentation of the Bloomsburg Players ,
"Our Town ," to be staged in Carver Auditorium on April 17. Due
to the unique qualities of this
play, such as the .absence of any
stage set , the audience will become instrumental in creating the
total effect.
Thornton Wilde r ' s or igin al
Broadway version of the play received many commendations from
the New York press . . . "Warm
with gentie humor" . . . "Endlessly
entertaining" . . . "Unconventiona l
and intriguing" . . . "The life of
any town , of any human , from the
cradle to the grave." The last
quotation sums up "Our Town"
very well; for it is, in fact, the
story of small town America and
small town people — the kind of
people most Americans are ; and
all Am eric an s know . Th e li t tle
things that make the big thing
called "Life" are the subj ect of
this vivid dramatic cross-section
of h uman nature.
The preparation for "Our Town"
has involved the efforts of every
member of the Dramatic "Club.

director of the play, has even gone
to such detail as organizing an
"Emergency Committee." The personnel of the play are as follows :

Better Loung e Week
lhe College Council has finall y decided that the college
lounge problem can no longer be evaded. It is time to come to
gri ps wit h the matter.
Because of this important decision , members of Council recently selected a committee , advised by Dr. Kehr , Mr. Hoch and
Mr. Redman , of the faculty, an d Herbert Kerchner, of t h e stu d ent
body, to conduct a vigorous campai gn f or "Better Lounge Week."
"Better Lounge Week" will begin this coming Monday. It
will be highlighted by sev eral outstanding events. Among these
will be a poster contest, a quessinq contest, and an all 'coll eae
dance.
The ooster contest is open to all members of the college community. The artist drawing the best poster illustrating the purposes and theme of "Better Lounge Week" will be awarded a
prize. Jud ges for the contest will be Mrs. Olive Beeman and Mr.
Charles H . Henrie.
Everyone is invited to enter the guessing contest which will
involve guessing the price in dollars and cents of a new piece of
furniture to be displayed in the lounge. The gir l an d b oy coming
closest to the correct answer will each be awarded a prize. Mr.
Hoch and Mr. Redman have contributed the awards for the
contest winners.
Two other features of the event will be a dramatic skit in
assembly and an all college dance to be held Wednesday night
in the Old Gym.

Track Team Travels
To Scranton for
First Meet Apr. 18
The B.S.T.C. Husky track combination opens shop on Wednesday, April 18, when the Shelly men
i rave! to Scranton to tangle with
the outfit from Scranton University. Scranton University was the
only college over which the Huskies gained a victory last year in
their six meet* schedule. Bloomsburg 's winning margin was only
5% points; the contest ending
with Bloom getting 681/3 markers
to 622/3 for Scranton .
Lit tle is known about this year 's
Scranton track aggregation ; but
from the Husky side of the picture
we can, by looking at past performan ces of returning lottermen
and at those performances expected of new men on the team, jud ge
what to expect in this year 's meet.
With out taking into account any
secret weapon, the Scrantonians ,
who may have acquired a quick
review of most of the coming
events might give us something
like this.
High Hurdles — In last year 's
meeting Frank Womer and Hal
Lundy grabbed first and second
places respectively for the Huskies. Although Lundy has left via
the graduation route , we can still
expect plenty from Womer.
100 Yard Dash — Coach Shelly
may find a winner in this event in
a trio of sprinters th at includes
Tom Goodwin, Skip Berry , and
Bill Radzwich.
440 Run — Opposing the Scranton outfit here will be possibly Bill
Gilbert and Johnny Schwartz.
220 Run — Here the Shellymen
will probably have to depend on
speedy little Tommy Goodwin who
won last year against Scranton
with a time of 26 seconds. Look
for him to repeat.
880 Run — Joe Fiefer, Husky
middle distancer breezed in with
a first place against Seranton in
this event last year and it can be
hoped he will again this outing.
His last year 's time 2:14.
Broad Jump — Womer brought
home the bacon in this event for
the Huskies last year and it's hoped he can repeat in this one. He
can expect some aid from newcomer , Radzwich.
Javelin—Scranton won this last
year with a rather mediocre 159
foot heave. Tommy Spack, another new trackm an , can better this
if he continues tossing as he has.
High Jump—Here again Scranton came out first as Pearson
leaped 5 feet 8 inches. Sophomore
John Scrimageour is the main
Husky hope in the event in this
year's meeting.
Pole vault — It was strictly no
go last year for the Scrantonians
in this event as they didn't enter
a man in this event. State corecordholder , Frank Womer, should
probably take this one easily.
Shot Put — Scranton grabbed
first and second place in this one
last year and won with a very
poor 37 foot toss. Let's hope that
bunch of husky Huskies working
in this event do much better than
that to win this year.
Discus — Al Eremich took firs t
position for Bloom in this one vs.
Scranton and we believe we can
count on him for another good
throw this time out.
Mile Run — Joe Feifer came in
with this first place for Bloomsburg last year and Chuck Brennan
brought third place honors over to
the Husky side of the scoring
ledger. Both boys are back running in the event again this year.
Everything considere d , Coach
Shelly and his team have a fine
chance to take the measure of the
Scrantonians again and make it
. four in a row as the Huskies tri" umphed over S.U. in 1949 by a
count of 80 to 46 and in 1948 by a
78 to 48 score.
Saturday, April 14, the trackmen will play host to Williamsport
High School for a practice meet
with that group that will be more
in the form of a time trial outing
for the locals than a regular meet.
The schoolboys will throw the 12
pound shot while the Huskies use
the 16 pounder and they will use
the standard scholastic discus
while the Huskies toss the collegiate discus. In all probability, the
showing made here by the various
Husky thinclads will decide in
some measure who will start each
event against Scranton.
With the coming of better

College on Saturday, April 14.
IPCKER M§- LINQO
by Harry Brooks
The 1951 addition of the Maroon and Gold baseball season opens
tomorrow afternoon in Wilkes^Barre when the Redman Huskies jo urney
to the Hub to meet the Colonels of Wilkes College. Last year, the
Huskies had little trouble with the rivals from up the river, beating
them both on the foreign field and on Mount Olympus. Starting tomorrow 's game will probably be the reliable lefty, Buck Byham. Buck
was the backbone of last year 's fine mound corp, who lost but a few
games, and had run their streak to 18 consecutive victories over the
1949 and 1950 seasons. Redman is the first to admit that this year's
pitching staff isn 't as strong as it has been in the past two years, but
we can all hope for the best, and possibly get it if the new additions to
the team perform as well as the veterans of the past have done.
Shelly 's trackmen start their improved schedule in the middle of
the week. The B.S.T.C. thinclads will travel to Scranton to meet that
city 's university. Shelly has more material with which to work this
year, so an improvement in the record books is in the offing despite the
very difficult schedule which faces the team. In addition to the early
schedule released, Bucknell University will battle the Husky thinclads
on the Bison track on May 14th. This, by the way, is the first time in
the history of the schools, who are only some 30 miles away, th at t he
varsities of the two institutions have met in a regularly scheduled
athletic contest. In practice tilts, the Bloomsburg football varsity have
swamped the Bisons. In turn , the Bucknell Frosh have consistently
romped over the Maroon and Gold Freshmen on the basketball courts
during the past few seasons.
Maj or league activity begins next week, both in the National and
American circuits. The press writers are generally sticking with the
annual favorites, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees. What
do you think ?
Newly-formed Spring intramurals under the direction of Dr. Wagner will soon begin, with Softball , tennis, and possibly a few other sports
embracing the card. One thing can be said about this; if the intramural
Spring sports are handled in as fine a manner as the recent basketball
intramural leagues were, this will be the most successful program in the
college's history. Congratulations to "Doc" Wagner and his assistants.
They are really doing a swell job.
Absentee Voting
In the very near future there will be circulated upon this
campus a petition urg ing the State General Assembly to amend
the constitution allowing absentee voting. This petition is one of
many that will be circulated on various campuses in this State by
members of the National Students Association Committee.
The arguments advanced in favor of absentee voting are as
follows :
1, 43 states now have absentee voting in one form or another. Pennsylvania has none .
2, Most students are denied the opportunity to vote since
they can afford neither the time away from their studies
nor the expense involved in traveling home to vote.
3, Students nttending college are denied residence in their
college town , according to past court rulings,
(a) his attending school or working away from home ,
(b) being bed-ridden because of serious illness, or
( c ) fi g hting for his country in a time of emergency.
5, Absentee voting, by expanding the franchise, can be an
undisputable answer to Coiiumini.st charges that onl y the
privileged in America have a voice in Government.
If the petition should prove successful, it would be a major
victory for the student movement , in that it would set up machinery which would make it possible for students of voting age to
cast their ballots without having to make trips home.
There is no good reason wh y students, or anyone temporarily
living away from home , should be forced into the inconvenience
of a trip home in order to vote in an election. A system of absentee voting would be far better Hum a student holiday on election day, or the present practice of excused absences for students
going home to vote,
Every student of thi s institution should be ready and willing
to sign the NSA petition and to give It his support unti l the issue
is fought throug h to its conclusion, (SY )

School Spirit —Where Is It?
Not many weeks ago our boys of Bloomsburg State Teachers
College were out on the football field playing their hearts out for
their school. Not many days ago they were running their heads
off on the basketball court, Now they are at it again—th is time
on the track field— and presently on the baseball field,
Has it ever occurred to you what a discouraging blow it is to
be greeted, as a cheerleader , by nine or ten voices out of seven
hundred? Think of it—nine or ten voices willing to exert a little
effort to support their school!
No one will challenge your statement when you say that you
arc tired after a hard day of classes. Are you, however, so worn
out that you can ' t even open your mouth? Those boys out on the
court are worn out , too; they had classes jus t as you did , but they
are never too tired to let their alma mater down.
Think about what I have said, and try to cooperate with
YOUR cheerleaders a little— it involves your school's reputation
in the field of sports. (DD)
