It has been announced that Selective Service will not make any
special provisions to give students
30 days after the end of their
academic year to enlist in the service of their choice. Such arrangements are not necessary this year
as the 1951 amendments to the
Selective Service law provide that
students are henceforth to be deferred instead of having their
induction postponed. They will,

Education — U. S. Style
A statement in a recent newspaper editorial is indicative of
t h e sort o f t h ing t h at h elps to create distrust and lack of faith in
American schools. The statement read: "One thing more would
be to insist upon some standards of teaching in order that young
peop l e wi ll get an education instead of wasting a good bit of time
they spend in the classroom. "
There are two kinds of criticism being hurled at the schools
today, destructive and constructive. The firs t kind merel y finds
fault , f requent ly reaching a conclusion without a knowled ge o f
the facts. Constructive criticism , on the other hand , not on ly
points out defects based on a knowledge of all the facts but also
of f ers a b etter p l an to rep l ac e t h e one t h at h as b een prove d to b e
ineffective. Anyone will welcome this kind of criticism since it
leads to progress instead of destruction.
There is nothing more disheartening to a teacher , especia ll y
a new teacher who has chosen the profession as a life 's wor k , to
see education ridiculed by a press an d public unfamiliar with the
techniques and goals of teaching. What more is needed to turn
teac h ers sour an d cynica l, to sti fle enthusiasm and initiative , t h an
a pu bl ic an d press unappreciative o f t h e teac h ers ' constant eff orts
to teach the democratic processes , to instill ideals in the receptive
mind of yout h , to ma ke him a courteous person , to g ive him a
feeling of security and success as he gropes to find his place in
an insecure world?
I f the more than one million school teachers in our nation do
not feel confident that what they are trying to do is worthwhile , if
t h ey become resi gne d , pessimistic, unappreciat ed, you may be
certain that it will not be long before corruption and communism ,
t he two-headed frankenstein now seen in hi g h places , will eventuall y displace decency and democracy, the i:win virtues teachers
are emp hasizing throug hout the land today.
Let those who so gladly critici ze find and face the facts before
they write; let them think twice before they speak. Such peop l e
forget that democratic education is fundamentall y a tria l and error
process which forges the character of leadership in the give and
take of school life. They forget that school !s a place where stu,dents must have practic e in the art of self-expression , constructive ly guided. Mistakes will be made but these will be natural
mist akes made in any democratic society from which self-improvement an d group benefit will be derived.
We full y realize that teachers are human beings engaged in
t he noble and never-ending task of preparing the children of
America to be informed persons ; however , l et us not f org et fo r a
mom ent that this is onl y the beginnin g of our task, that teachers (Continued on page 4)
Hav e College Women Let Us Down?
Have Colleg e Women Let Us Down? is an interesting question that Howard Jones answers with an indictment in the January
issue of Mademoiselle.
Mr. Jones , Harvard English professor and president of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences , finds a "withering away
of the sense of intellectual adventure , of individual inquiry among
American college women. " No longer is the campus a bastion of
causes and movements. Instead , the prevalent belief is that security is the end-al] of existence.
"In a nation in which security has become an obsession ," Mr.
Jones says , "the result is, naturall y enoug h , that kind of genteel
self-absorption , that waning of civic spirit characteristic of the
present generation of young American girls in college. " Nor has
this girl "the foggiest suspicion of the truth that to maintain the
security she takes for granted , she may have to do something
more about it than she does. "
She wants a job but not a career. She wants a white-collar
husband , but also a ranch house, "interesting " neig hbors, and an
income of $10,000 a year ten years after college. She gets her
lessons without apply ing her mind. She is not one whit interested
in the world around her : in modern art , literature , music or
philosoph y, "A dark unreasoning fear has her in its grip. This
is her fear of the future— dominated by the atom bomb, " Jones
says . She is pessimistic and confused, but she is unwilling to act.
"The world , for the college girl , is teetering on the brink of
change , it is going to teeter there for the next few decades, and
that 's that. "
"I suppose this mood will pass, " Professor Jones says.
"Neither the nation nor the colleges can live indefinitel y in negativism , . , Quite possibly the listlessness now evident among
college girls in America may be scattered overnig ht by some
dramatic turn in history. Meanwhile the colleges are playing it
safe, and so are the girls. "
WALLER HALL
In a recent election the freshman girls of Waller Hall chose
Janice Bower and Cora Gill as
t heir representatives to the Waller
Hail Governing Board .
The Christmas spirit pervaded
in the dorm during December, and
the girls once again competed for
prizes in the Christmas Door Decorating Contest. Three prizes were
awarded on each "floor. On second
floor Lynda Bogart and Alice
Fisher won first prize for their
miniature Christmas tree. The
girls took a pine branch , decorated
it with colored balls and silver
tinsel , and topped it off with a
big red bow tied at the tip of the
branch. Second pi'ize wen t to
Bernice Walters and Shirley Tregellas, and third prize was won by
Madge Felker, Doris Paternoster ,
and Loretta Formulak.
Sherrill Hiller and Jeannetta
Mincer, first prize winners on
third floor , covered their door
with light green papey and placed
on this paper silver letters spelling
"Season's Greetings." They then
placed on a platform on the door
a big Santa Claus and a fireplace
complete with the C h r i s t m a s
stockings and toys. The otherprizes on third floor went to Betty
Hoover and Janet Hughes, second
prize, and Myra Albertson and
Phyllis Paige, third prize.
Up on fourth floor , first prize
went to Ruth Paul and Janet
Wagner, who used blue paper as
a background , on which they placed silver stars and snow. To make
it vei'y Christmasy, the girls used
Santa and his reindeer, two snowmen , and a Christmas tree. Jane
Seeley and Martha Steiner won
second prize and Elizabeth Hall
and Mary Ellen Henning won
third prize.
We extend our best wishes to
the Waller Hall girl§ who came
back from Christmas vacation
wearing diamond rings. Joan Enama is engaged to Lawrence Bott
of the U. S. Navy ; Nancy Unger
is engaged to Norman Keiser ;
Nancy Heebner received a ring
from William Herr ; and Ruth
Glidden , a senior now teaching at
Williamsport, has announced her
engagement to Rom Radicci. Wilma Jones and John Kennedy , two
j uniors on campus , have announced their engagement. On Februai-y 2, Irene Eckert , a January
senior, will become the bride of
William Harrison.
Occupation Out look
All students — and especially
those who arc undecided about
the selection of a major or of
next-semester courses—can get a
great deal of helpful information
in the 1951 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
This publication , prepared by
the U. S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the Veterans Administration , contains up-to-date
information on the facts needed in
career planning for more than
400 occupations. The dat a on immediate and long - range employment outlook is of special interest
to college students since America's
mobilization efforts in the last
year have changed employment
prospects for nearly every j ob in
the country, whether or not it is
related to dqfense. These data ,
together with those on training
requirements, may help students
make a wiser selection in their
curriculum.
Following are a few highlights
from the Handbook:
More than 75,000 new elementary school teachers were needed
for the 1950-51 school year and
only 35,000 persons qualified for
regular elementary teaching certificates in Juno, 1950,
There is a shortage of scientists
( particularly of those with advanced degrees) for basic and
b ackgroun d researc h , developmental and applied research , and
teaching.
In television, the workers in
greatest demand arc the technici ans , especially those who have a
good knowledge of mathematics
an d electronic theory.
Employment opportunities for
ra dio announcers , newspaper report ers , and photographers are
expected to bo limited for the nexi.
several years.
The need for additional trained
women is great inall the occupations in which women have led in
employment: in nursing, dietetics,
physical and occupational therapy,
social work, and library work.
There is a shortage of personnel
trained for laboratory work, especially in pathology and bacteriology, and additional openings arc
expected in the near future.
More accountants arc needed ,

Out in the cold again . . .
The staunch supporters of the

theme song. For years this group

hope in some

will kill the is,sue permanently.
Now comes the
acid test for its
backers. If they
have g u t s , and

conviction that ii
is one thing Bloomsburg needs,
they 'll be heard from again. Stick
with it; it's always darkest before
the dawn.
Use your imagination . . .
What is so rare as a day
in June ?
An active Sunday afternoon.
For some time now, we've been
hearing about the lack of weekend activities for those unfortunates who find themselves confined
to Bloomsburg, the virtual beehive
of weekend activity. This problem
is similar to the one concerning
the weather—everyone talks about
it , but no one does anything about
it. In most cases, one must have
an excellertt imagination and be

If any of you potential 1953
seniors desire to aspire for the
position of C.G.A. president , I'll
tell ya what I'm gonna do. For a
slight, paltry fee, I'll let you have
a grade A, choice, number one,
second hand , used c a m p a i g n
speech. It's condition can not be
appreciated until seen and read.
W hy, it's in such good condition
(hat the glaze is hardly worn off
the paper. Therefore , I say to
you , "If you want an early start ,
if you want to be in on the ground
floor , and if you want to purchase
a finished product , I can furnish
it." Furthermore, I guarantee you
will collect at least 57 votes. It's
first come, first served on this
bargain.
It all comes back to me now . . .
As I look back over seven semesters spent at Bloomsburg, I find
that I have many regrets. Probably my biggest one is that I
didn 't realize a good business
proposition when ] saw it. I wish
now that I had established a
corner on the corner market. Had
I done this, I'd need not worry
now about, my financial condition.
Little did I think that B.D.D.J.—
Bloomsburg's Dashing Don Juans
— would establish themselves in
choice areas, thus offering a
source of income. Picture if you
will the large neon sign in front
of my office intermittently flashing a brilliant orange K.K.K. —
Kanyuck'H Kozy Kreviee. (See,
Senator Kefauver, I told you I
wasn 't a clan member.) For slight
fees, certain positions would be
offered to select customers. Well ,
it' s too late to cry over spilled

From here and there . . . next year 's grid schedule is just about
to be released. Probably four new foes will embrace the eight game,
very attractive card. Four games will be played at home with the
same number of tilts away . . . Lanky Doug Erickson has once again
donned the Maroon and Gold hoop togs after an early December seige
ol' yellow j aundice. Without a doubt, his return will bolster the Husky
five. Slowly but surely the Husky gridders will have their new jackets,
awarded the team for their undefeated campaign. Part of the shipment
has arri ved with the remainder due here within the next few weeks . . .
watch for Farrell to win the State basketball championship this year
as was predicted by this corner last year. Thus far , Farrell has made
all opposition look sick out in the western part of the state where the
high school power seems to be this season. If you don't believe me, ask
Swoyerville who received a lesson in hoop tactics from a so-so Ford
City quintet . . . did you notice in the recent bowl games the great
number of Pennsylvania gridders on most all of the major teams ?
Maryland University who easily won the battle with undefeated and
wrongly-ranked Tennessee on New Years Day could well be called Penn
Prep . . . this year Pennsylvania has more than its share of fine big
college quintets. Duquesne, La Salle, Westminister, Villanova, St.
Fr ancis , and a few other look like good early season tourney bets . , .
An unusual thing happens once in a great while in a football game
and probably few of you sports fans have ever seen it happen. So what
do you think happens in a case like this ? Team A kicks off to team B.
The ball soars into the end zone, then bounces out to the two yard line
and rests there . Now, does the ball go to team B on the two yard line,
do they get the ball on the twenty yard line, or does team A kick over
to team B?
Just such a situation took place in the recent Pitt-Penn State
game. Pitt kicked off to State and the ball went into the end zone and
rolled out to the two yard line. That is where the play began from .
B.S.T.C. Resolutions for the New Year . . .
1. more undefeated grid teams for the Huskies.
2. better student participation.
3. future success for the Shelly cagers.
4. a trophy to be given to the State Teachers Conference winner next
time.

Don 's high school days were interrupted when the 5' 2" speedster
answered the call to colors and
j oined the United States Sea Bees
for a five year hitch. After his
discharge he went back to Warrior Run and finished his high
school education in the spring of
1948.
Don 's main assets are in the
field of baseball. His versatility in
this sport marks him a coach's
dream. He can play infield positions and is at his best when he
is patrolling the center garden in
the outfield. At the plate, he h as
led the Husky attack for three
years. Playing with the undefeated
squad of 1949, Butler clouted the
ball to all corners of the field and
has continued his assault during
the past two seasons.
In basketball, Don 's driving on
offense and his rebounding prowness on defense provide many
moments of relief for hard wood
mentor—Harold Shelly.
This being Don 's Senior year,
we hope that his future will be
marked with success.

A Clean Home Record Is
Sought by Shelly 's Cagers
Tomorrow evening, the Huskies
play host to a surprising strong
Wilkes team at the Centennial
Gym in what should prove to be
quite a ball game. So far this
year the Husky . home record is
unblemished; the Shellymen hope
to keep it that way although
Wilkes is invading the Husky lair
with an entirely different perspective.
The pace that the visitors have
been setting in their last few
games, h owever , indi cat es that
they will be mighty difficult to
beat. The Colonels record stands
at four wins and four losses. This
is not indicative of their potentialities since three of their four victories have come in the last three
games. In their last three outings, the Wilkes Cagers dumped
Mansfield , Harpur, and Moravian
with comparative ease. The remaining Wilkes win was over East
Stroudsburg, alway s a strength in
Teachers College ranks, and was
achieved >mainly by spectacular .
foul shooting. The charges of
Coach George Ralston made good
on every attempt from the free
throw line, 14 f or 24, a National
Intercollegiate record.
The Wilkes attack features Len
Batroney and Bob Benson with
valuable assistance from John
Milliman and Jim Atherton. Batroney has been the big gun and
is leading- the team with a 17
point per game average. Benson
follows closely with a 14 point
average.
One interesting note about Benson is that every time lie scores
a point he sets a new all-time
Wilkes record. In two years of
basketball he has racked up a
total of 549 points; this year in
six games he has an additional
100 points.
The Huskies must definitely
stop Batrony and Benson if they
intend to keep their home record
clean. In recent games Coach
Shelley has been experimenting
with some of his reserves and they
have been showing up well. This
newly found reserve strength plus
the addition of lanky Doug Erickson has added much to the Husky
attack in recent games.
Both games that the Huskies
have lost are attributed to the
fact they were unable to take
their share of the rebounds, thus
reducing the number of shots they
could take and subsequently their
point total. From here on in the
Huskies should be able to hold
their own in this department, a
must for the winning team. It's
an ybody 's game as the whistle
blows!

Dave is a leading assist artist in

Link is a versatile ball-player,
for he covers lots of third base
for the college nine and he is also
a member of our undefeated football squad. Last season he kicked
27 points-after-touchdown to set a
new Bloomsburg record. Dave, a
stellar defensive back , is one of
the main reasons why the opposition completed such a miserably

der the expert tutelage of Coach
Bernie Gazan, Link developed a
deadly one-hand push shot from
far out in addition to a good set
shot. He was named on the AllLeague team for two consecutive
seasons. Dave also participated in
football and baseball at Mahanoy
Township High. There he won a
total of nine sports letters before
he graduated. Quite an accomplishment!
Link, a j unior in the elementary
curriculum , is playing his third
year as a starter at the guard slot.
Before he came to Bloomsburg, he
served sixteen months in Japan
with the Army O c c u p a t i o n a l
Force, Dave is a leading converter
of foul attempts on Coach Shelly 's
cago squad. Last year he had an
amazing 80% completion record ,
and so far this season his average
is even higher. Keep up the good
work Link!

•lust in Between . . .
No use for me to say welcome back from Christmas and New Year 's
vacation (Maybe the Christmas colors should be changed
from red and
green to bloodshot and green—check with John Burns) because by the
time tnc "wcl" was out everybody would be home on mid-semesters
vacation. So, Merry Christmas everyone ! (I know it doesn 't fit in here
but now I've scooped everyone for next year) .
Well , They aren 't Flying Saucers . . .
Pinochle is a desperately serious game at best and here on The Hill
they play it for blood (better look into this "Doc"). The game reached
a feverish peak the other day (accordi ng to rumor from the "Green
Room "—Old Gym Lounge to you ) when a male and female student
decided to dump ash t rays on each other 's heads. Not satisfied with the
hermit-like result , the female flang (I know E. T., but it looks like past
tense) the tray at the male ; being a gentleman he couldn 't allow the
act to go unrewa rded . Another tray split the smoky atmosphere, this
time showering ashes in the feminine direction. A-fter such a good start
all that happened was that everyone apologized promiscuously and decided they 'd play "War " from now on .
Double or Nothing; . . .
Apparently the only suggestions that are ever gotten around here
are under-the-breath mutterings. There is not only one Suggestion Box
in the Old Gym but two. The college is well covered ; there are boxes
on both sides of the window sill back of the trash can. If yo u can 't
writ e a coherent suggestion at least mutter it in the direction of your
C. G. A. Representative.
Erieson Back on the Boards . . ".
Just want to extend the Current Cu rrents Court Congratulations to
long "Doug " Erieson who played his first game of the year against
Kutztown last Saturday . Although Doug had been very sick for some
time he made the "Dutchmen " look sick by controlling the bankboards
t hrough-out the game. He 's my kind of player—all play and no temperament .
Blood , Sweat , and Cheers . . .
With increased draft quotas iminent after the politicos soft soap us
into electing one of them, it would be a good idea to stop sweating
blood over the draft and start investing some. If the "ed" half of the
co-ods figure at all they'll realize that by giving blood in February
under the Wagner directed proj ect they are investing blood they may
be very glad to get back sometime.
The Memory Must Be Fadine . . .
Bob McNeilis of the West Chester Quad Angles got gutsy and said
(in reference to a pointed observatio n on how they hid the story of the
Husky mauling this year) that next year they 'd spread the story of
their victory across a couple pages. The timely advice would run thus :
Don 't count your victories before they arrive . Better save space next
year for black edging on the sports page. You boys better stay out of
Pretzel Bowls ; your ideas are getting a little twisted.
And They Forgot to Take Marshniallows . . .
It wasn 't exactly a hot ti me in the old town that night during
Christmas Vacation , but it was out on a mountain near Millersburg.
Two B.S.T.C. students, Bill Kline and Joe Kissinger, were attending a
stag party with some of their other-college friends when the kerosene
stove exploded in the cabin and caused a rush for the nearest and only
exit that would make a bargain day at Macy's look like a bunch of
snails on an upgrade. Ten burly boys packed up against a door which ,
th ey discovered , swung inward instead of outward—have a problem.
Anyhow , they man aged to get outside into sixteen inches of snow and
wat ch a good forty cent deck of cards and other more valuable articles
go up in smoke without any too serious personal damages. After hiking
a mile through the white and drifted in various stages of nocturnal
dress, the wounded were delivered into the hands of a minister of
medicine and the adventure ended. The moral of this story is: Don 't
buy such expensive cards if you intend to burn c.own a cabin to git your
name in the Harrisburg paper.
A Last Defiant Gesture . . .
It's been a hit and run battle all the way between me and my
buddy th e linotype operator. Trouble is he always has the last word
(if he can spell it without a mistake). I take this opporchancity to do
two things. ( 1) Point out that writers are not responsible for typographical errors, and (2) Express (after looking over the last issue )
my sincere sympathies to him on the loss of all those fingers.
Operator 's Note . . .
Thanks for the interest in my fingers. It was quite a loss to me, I
can assure you. I caugh t them on one of your split infinitives.

the class will attend two summer
trainin g periods of six weeks each
at Quantico, Virginia. After successfully completing the 2 courses,
and upon graduation from college,
the women candidates will be appointed second lieutenants in the
Marine Corps Reserve. Women
who are already college graduates
may complete both courses in one
summer and receive commissions
immediately.
Women Marine officers receive
the same pay and allowance as
male officers. Current base pay
for a second lieutenant is $213.75
per month , A monthly food allowance of $42 also is paid, and if
qu arters are not furnished , the
second lieutenant without dependents receives an additional $60 per
month.
Marine Corps reserve second
lieut enants are given an initial
cash reimbursement of $250 for
the put'chase of uniforms. Other
compensations include free life insur ance , medical and dental care,
and post exchange, commissary
and recreation privileges.
Women Marine officers are assigned most duties now performed
by male officers except tactical
control of troops. These include
such fields as administration , aerology, communications, disbursing,
instr uction, post exchange, public
inf ormation , special services, and
supply. A. limited number are assigned to duty with the Fleet
Marine Forces Pacific headquarters in Hawaii.
Lt. Jane Pratt will visit this
campus January 30 and 31 to
speak with and interview any
women st udents interested in the
program. Lt. Pratt entered the
Marine Corps in June 1951. and
received her commission in September after completing the two

"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 he
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 game took place, Bill's smile
of confidence was present at the
pep rallies and parades. No matter
wh a t the event , whether a social
affair or a n a thleti c con t est , we
could always count on Bill's presence. In short , whatever involved
the st udents of B.S.T.C. also involved Bill Trump.
"The Waller Hall girls will never forget the many things that
Bill did fo r them during the years
that he was here with us. In addition to his regular duties , he found
time to chase away an occasional
bat that had invaded the dorm , or
get rid of a few mice that had
established a reign of terror in
Waller Hall , or to take care of a
flooding lavatory . When the lights
suddenly went out or a similar
emergency occurred , the first person we went in search of was our
friend Bill 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. Ho realized how much those
letters meant to the girls and his
han d placed thousands of them in
the mailbox. These were all little
things, but they were the things
which endeared him to the students.
"Mr. Trump 's death , on February 21, 1951, brought his long
period of service to B.S.T.C. to a
close.

o t h er hand is a "one-shot" proposition designed only to allow those
students who do not have eligibility for consideration for II-S deferments, and who have n ever
bef ore received a student deferment or postponement to complete
their current academic year.
A student who receives a I-S
deferment until the end of his
current academic year may in
some instances receive a II-S deferment for the next year. If during the academic year his work
was such that he is in the prescribed upper portion of his class,
or if he takes the Selective Service College Qualification Test and
makes a score of 70 or better , the
local board can consider him for
a II-S deferment for th e following
academic year,
Local boards generally determine during the summer months *o
whom II-S deferments shall be
granted for the next academic
year. In making their determination , they consider the student's
class standing for the previous
academic year as furnished by the
school on Selective Servi ce Form
109. For example , a freshman student with a I-S deferment may
keep his class work to a point
where he is in the prescribed
upper portion of his class at the
end of that academic year or during the year take the College
Qualification Test so that he
there by becomes eligible for consideration for a II-S deferment for
the next year.
Although the Selective Service
law allows a man to enlist at any
time until ordered to report for
ind uction , the Army, Navy, and
Air Force , in J uly 1950, agreed not
to accept any man for enlistment
in any of the services after he has
been notified to report for his
Selective Service preinduction
physical examination. In June
1951, the Department of Defense
rescinded the interservice agreement and have periodically extended the period until March 31,
1952. Therefore , any student desiri ng, in January, to enlist in the
service of his choice will have the
opportunity,

It has been announced that Selective Service will not make any

academic year to enlist in the service of their choice. Such arrangements are not necessary this year
as the 1951 amendments to the
Selective Service law provide that
students are henceforth to be deferred instead of having their

Education — U. S. Style
A statement in a recent newspaper editorial is indicative of
t h e sort o f t h ing t h at h elps to create distrust and lack of faith in
American schools. The statement read: "One thing more would
be to insist upon some standards of teaching in order that young
peop l e wi ll get an education instead of wasting a good bit of time
they spend in the classroom. "
There are two kinds of criticism being hurled at the schools
today, destructive and constructive. The firs t kind merel y finds
fault , f requent ly reaching a conclusion without a knowled ge o f
the facts. Constructive criticism , on the other hand , not on ly
points out defects based on a knowledge of all the facts but also
of f ers a b etter p l an to rep l ac e t h e one t h at h as b een prove d to b e
ineffective. Anyone will welcome this kind of criticism since it
leads to progress instead of destruction.
There is nothing more disheartening to a teacher , especia ll y
a new teacher who has chosen the profession as a life 's wor k , to
see education ridiculed by a press an d public unfamiliar with the
techniques and goals of teaching. What more is needed to turn
teac h ers sour an d cynica l, to sti fle enthusiasm and initiative , t h an
a pu bl ic an d press unappreciative o f t h e teac h ers ' constant eff orts
to teach the democratic processes , to instill ideals in the receptive
mind of yout h , to ma ke him a courteous person , to g ive him a
feeling of security and success as he gropes to find his place in
an insecure world?
I f the more than one million school teachers in our nation do
not feel confident that what they are trying to do is worthwhile , if
t h ey become resi gne d , pessimistic, unappreciat ed, you may be
certain that it will not be long before corruption and communism ,
t he two-headed frankenstein now seen in hi g h places , will eventuall y displace decency and democracy, the i:win virtues teachers
are emp hasizing throug hout the land today.
Let those who so gladly critici ze find and face the facts before
they write; let them think twice before they speak. Such peop l e
forget that democratic education is fundamentall y a tria l and error
process which forges the character of leadership in the give and
take of school life. They forget that school !s a place where stu,dents must have practic e in the art of self-expression , constructive ly guided. Mistakes will be made but these will be natural
mist akes made in any democratic society from which self-improvement an d group benefit will be derived.
We full y realize that teachers are human beings engaged in
t he noble and never-ending task of preparing the children of
America to be informed persons ; however , l et us not f org et fo r a
mom ent that this is onl y the beginnin g of our task, that teachers (Continued on page 4)
Hav e College Women Let Us Down?
Have Colleg e Women Let Us Down? is an interesting question that Howard Jones answers with an indictment in the January
issue of Mademoiselle.
Mr. Jones , Harvard English professor and president of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences , finds a "withering away
of the sense of intellectual adventure , of individual inquiry among
American college women. " No longer is the campus a bastion of
causes and movements. Instead , the prevalent belief is that security is the end-al] of existence.
"In a nation in which security has become an obsession ," Mr.
Jones says , "the result is, naturall y enoug h , that kind of genteel
self-absorption , that waning of civic spirit characteristic of the
present generation of young American girls in college. " Nor has
this girl "the foggiest suspicion of the truth that to maintain the
security she takes for granted , she may have to do something
more about it than she does. "
She wants a job but not a career. She wants a white-collar
husband , but also a ranch house, "interesting " neig hbors, and an
income of $10,000 a year ten years after college. She gets her
lessons without apply ing her mind. She is not one whit interested
in the world around her : in modern art , literature , music or
philosoph y, "A dark unreasoning fear has her in its grip. This
is her fear of the future— dominated by the atom bomb, " Jones
says . She is pessimistic and confused, but she is unwilling to act.
"The world , for the college girl , is teetering on the brink of
change , it is going to teeter there for the next few decades, and
that 's that. "
"I suppose this mood will pass, " Professor Jones says.
"Neither the nation nor the colleges can live indefinitel y in negativism , . , Quite possibly the listlessness now evident among
college girls in America may be scattered overnig ht by some
dramatic turn in history. Meanwhile the colleges are playing it
safe, and so are the girls. "
WALLER HALL
In a recent election the freshman girls of Waller Hall chose
Janice Bower and Cora Gill as
t heir representatives to the Waller
Hail Governing Board .
The Christmas spirit pervaded
in the dorm during December, and
the girls once again competed for
prizes in the Christmas Door Decorating Contest. Three prizes were
awarded on each "floor. On second
floor Lynda Bogart and Alice
Fisher won first prize for their
miniature Christmas tree. The
girls took a pine branch , decorated
it with colored balls and silver
tinsel , and topped it off with a
big red bow tied at the tip of the
branch. Second pi'ize wen t to
Bernice Walters and Shirley Tregellas, and third prize was won by
Madge Felker, Doris Paternoster ,
and Loretta Formulak.
Sherrill Hiller and Jeannetta
Mincer, first prize winners on
third floor , covered their door
with light green papey and placed
on this paper silver letters spelling
"Season's Greetings." They then
placed on a platform on the door
a big Santa Claus and a fireplace
complete with the C h r i s t m a s
stockings and toys. The otherprizes on third floor went to Betty
Hoover and Janet Hughes, second
prize, and Myra Albertson and
Phyllis Paige, third prize.
Up on fourth floor , first prize
went to Ruth Paul and Janet
Wagner, who used blue paper as
a background , on which they placed silver stars and snow. To make
it vei'y Christmasy, the girls used
Santa and his reindeer, two snowmen , and a Christmas tree. Jane
Seeley and Martha Steiner won
second prize and Elizabeth Hall
and Mary Ellen Henning won
third prize.
We extend our best wishes to
the Waller Hall girl§ who came
back from Christmas vacation
wearing diamond rings. Joan Enama is engaged to Lawrence Bott
of the U. S. Navy ; Nancy Unger
is engaged to Norman Keiser ;
Nancy Heebner received a ring
from William Herr ; and Ruth
Glidden , a senior now teaching at
Williamsport, has announced her
engagement to Rom Radicci. Wilma Jones and John Kennedy , two
j uniors on campus , have announced their engagement. On Februai-y 2, Irene Eckert , a January
senior, will become the bride of
William Harrison.
Occupation Out look
All students — and especially
those who arc undecided about
the selection of a major or of
next-semester courses—can get a
great deal of helpful information
in the 1951 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
This publication , prepared by
the U. S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the Veterans Administration , contains up-to-date
information on the facts needed in
career planning for more than
400 occupations. The dat a on immediate and long - range employment outlook is of special interest
to college students since America's
mobilization efforts in the last
year have changed employment
prospects for nearly every j ob in
the country, whether or not it is
related to dqfense. These data ,
together with those on training
requirements, may help students
make a wiser selection in their
curriculum.
Following are a few highlights
from the Handbook:
More than 75,000 new elementary school teachers were needed
for the 1950-51 school year and
only 35,000 persons qualified for
regular elementary teaching certificates in Juno, 1950,
There is a shortage of scientists
( particularly of those with advanced degrees) for basic and
b ackgroun d researc h , developmental and applied research , and
teaching.
In television, the workers in
greatest demand arc the technici ans , especially those who have a
good knowledge of mathematics
an d electronic theory.
Employment opportunities for
ra dio announcers , newspaper report ers , and photographers are
expected to bo limited for the nexi.
several years.
The need for additional trained
women is great inall the occupations in which women have led in
employment: in nursing, dietetics,
physical and occupational therapy,
social work, and library work.
There is a shortage of personnel
trained for laboratory work, especially in pathology and bacteriology, and additional openings arc
expected in the near future.
More accountants arc needed ,
especially cost accountants and

Speaking of Operations News Notes
by Calvin Kanyuck
Out in the cold again . . .
The staunch supporters of the
N.S.A. ( Nationul Student Association ) on this campus have a new
theme song. For years this group
has been trying to foster the organization in this BM.O.T.H.F.T.P.
O.H.L. — Friendly Institution on
the HiJl for the
Purpose of Higher L e a r n i n g —
only to be set
back each time
the issue is presented. There is
hope in some
quart ers that this
recent s e t - b ac k
will kill the is,sue permanently.
Now comes the
acid test for its
backers. If they
have g u t s , and
tire firm in their
conviction that ii
is one thing Bloomsburg needs,
they 'll be heard from again. Stick
with it; it's always darkest before
the dawn.
Use your imagination . . .
What is so rare as a day
in June ?
An active Sunday afternoon.
For some time now, we've been
hearing about the lack of weekend activities for those unfortunates who find themselves confined
to Bloomsburg, the virtual beehive
of weekend activity. This problem
is similar to the one concerning
the weather—everyone talks about
it , but no one does anything about
it. In most cases, one must have
an excellertt imagination and be
a master of improvision to get
even the slightest amount of excitement from that dreaded Saturday and Sunday spent in this
burg. The problem really belongs
to those who stay here. May I
suggest that you create enough
agitation until something gets accomplished.
Yours for a Song: . . .
If any of you potential 1953
seniors desire to aspire for the
position of C.G.A. president , I'll
tell ya what I'm gonna do. For a
slight, paltry fee, I'll let you have
a grade A, choice, number one,
second hand , used c a m p a i g n
speech. It's condition can not be
appreciated until seen and read.
W hy, it's in such good condition
(hat the glaze is hardly worn off
the paper. Therefore , I say to
you , "If you want an early start ,
if you want to be in on the ground
floor , and if you want to purchase
a finished product , I can furnish
it." Furthermore, I guarantee you
will collect at least 57 votes. It's
first come, first served on this
bargain.
It all comes back to me now . . .
As I look back over seven semesters spent at Bloomsburg, I find
that I have many regrets. Probably my biggest one is that I
didn 't realize a good business
proposition when ] saw it. I wish
now that I had established a
corner on the corner market. Had
I done this, I'd need not worry
now about, my financial condition.
Little did I think that B.D.D.J.—
Bloomsburg's Dashing Don Juans
— would establish themselves in
choice areas, thus offering a
source of income. Picture if you
will the large neon sign in front
of my office intermittently flashing a brilliant orange K.K.K. —
Kanyuck'H Kozy Kreviee. (See,
Senator Kefauver, I told you I
wasn 't a clan member.) For slight
fees, certain positions would be
offered to select customers. Well ,
it' s too late to cry over spilled
milk. (If you've stayed with me
this far and don 't understand ,
allow me to inform you : I'm referring to our nightly doorway
escapades. )

From here and there . . . next year 's grid schedule is just about
to be released. Probably four new foes will embrace the eight game,
very attractive card. Four games will be played at home with the
same number of tilts away . . . Lanky Doug Erickson has once again
donned the Maroon and Gold hoop togs after an early December seige
ol' yellow j aundice. Without a doubt, his return will bolster the Husky
five. Slowly but surely the Husky gridders will have their new jackets,
awarded the team for their undefeated campaign. Part of the shipment
has arri ved with the remainder due here within the next few weeks . . .
watch for Farrell to win the State basketball championship this year
as was predicted by this corner last year. Thus far , Farrell has made
all opposition look sick out in the western part of the state where the
high school power seems to be this season. If you don't believe me, ask
Swoyerville who received a lesson in hoop tactics from a so-so Ford
City quintet . . . did you notice in the recent bowl games the great
number of Pennsylvania gridders on most all of the major teams ?
Maryland University who easily won the battle with undefeated and
wrongly-ranked Tennessee on New Years Day could well be called Penn
Prep . . . this year Pennsylvania has more than its share of fine big
college quintets. Duquesne, La Salle, Westminister, Villanova, St.
Fr ancis , and a few other look like good early season tourney bets . , .
An unusual thing happens once in a great while in a football game
and probably few of you sports fans have ever seen it happen. So what
do you think happens in a case like this ? Team A kicks off to team B.
The ball soars into the end zone, then bounces out to the two yard line
and rests there . Now, does the ball go to team B on the two yard line,
do they get the ball on the twenty yard line, or does team A kick over
to team B?
Just such a situation took place in the recent Pitt-Penn State
game. Pitt kicked off to State and the ball went into the end zone and
rolled out to the two yard line. That is where the play began from .
B.S.T.C. Resolutions for the New Year . . .
1. more undefeated grid teams for the Huskies.
2. better student participation.
3. future success for the Shelly cagers.
4. a trophy to be given to the State Teachers Conference winner next
time.

Don 's high school days were interrupted when the 5' 2" speedster
answered the call to colors and
j oined the United States Sea Bees
for a five year hitch. After his
discharge he went back to Warrior Run and finished his high
school education in the spring of
1948.
Don 's main assets are in the
field of baseball. His versatility in
this sport marks him a coach's
dream. He can play infield positions and is at his best when he
is patrolling the center garden in
the outfield. At the plate, he h as
led the Husky attack for three
years. Playing with the undefeated
squad of 1949, Butler clouted the
ball to all corners of the field and
has continued his assault during
the past two seasons.
In basketball, Don 's driving on
offense and his rebounding prowness on defense provide many
moments of relief for hard wood
mentor—Harold Shelly.
This being Don 's Senior year,
we hope that his future will be
marked with success.

A Clean Home Record Is
Sought by Shelly 's Cagers
Tomorrow evening, the Huskies
play host to a surprising strong
Wilkes team at the Centennial
Gym in what should prove to be
quite a ball game. So far this
year the Husky . home record is
unblemished; the Shellymen hope
to keep it that way although
Wilkes is invading the Husky lair
with an entirely different perspective.
The pace that the visitors have
been setting in their last few
games, h owever , indi cat es that
they will be mighty difficult to
beat. The Colonels record stands
at four wins and four losses. This
is not indicative of their potentialities since three of their four victories have come in the last three
games. In their last three outings, the Wilkes Cagers dumped
Mansfield , Harpur, and Moravian
with comparative ease. The remaining Wilkes win was over East
Stroudsburg, alway s a strength in
Teachers College ranks, and was
achieved >mainly by spectacular .
foul shooting. The charges of
Coach George Ralston made good
on every attempt from the free
throw line, 14 f or 24, a National
Intercollegiate record.
The Wilkes attack features Len
Batroney and Bob Benson with
valuable assistance from John
Milliman and Jim Atherton. Batroney has been the big gun and
is leading- the team with a 17
point per game average. Benson
follows closely with a 14 point
average.
One interesting note about Benson is that every time lie scores
a point he sets a new all-time
Wilkes record. In two years of
basketball he has racked up a
total of 549 points; this year in
six games he has an additional
100 points.
The Huskies must definitely
stop Batrony and Benson if they
intend to keep their home record
clean. In recent games Coach
Shelley has been experimenting
with some of his reserves and they
have been showing up well. This
newly found reserve strength plus
the addition of lanky Doug Erickson has added much to the Husky
attack in recent games.
Both games that the Huskies
have lost are attributed to the
fact they were unable to take
their share of the rebounds, thus
reducing the number of shots they
could take and subsequently their
point total. From here on in the
Huskies should be able to hold
their own in this department, a
must for the winning team. It's
an ybody 's game as the whistle
blows!

Link is a versatile ball-player,

a member of our undefeated football squad. Last season he kicked
27 points-after-touchdown to set a
new Bloomsburg record. Dave, a
stellar defensive back , is one of
the main reasons why the opposition completed such a miserably

der the expert tutelage of Coach
Bernie Gazan, Link developed a
deadly one-hand push shot from
far out in addition to a good set
shot. He was named on the AllLeague team for two consecutive
seasons. Dave also participated in
football and baseball at Mahanoy
Township High. There he won a
total of nine sports letters before
he graduated. Quite an accomplishment!
Link, a j unior in the elementary
curriculum , is playing his third
year as a starter at the guard slot.
Before he came to Bloomsburg, he
served sixteen months in Japan
with the Army O c c u p a t i o n a l
Force, Dave is a leading converter
of foul attempts on Coach Shelly 's
cago squad. Last year he had an
amazing 80% completion record ,
and so far this season his average
is even higher. Keep up the good
work Link!

•lust in Between . . .
No use for me to say welcome back from Christmas and New Year 's
vacation (Maybe the Christmas colors should be changed
from red and
green to bloodshot and green—check with John Burns) because by the
time tnc "wcl" was out everybody would be home on mid-semesters
vacation. So, Merry Christmas everyone ! (I know it doesn 't fit in here
but now I've scooped everyone for next year) .
Well , They aren 't Flying Saucers . . .
Pinochle is a desperately serious game at best and here on The Hill
they play it for blood (better look into this "Doc"). The game reached
a feverish peak the other day (accordi ng to rumor from the "Green
Room "—Old Gym Lounge to you ) when a male and female student
decided to dump ash t rays on each other 's heads. Not satisfied with the
hermit-like result , the female flang (I know E. T., but it looks like past
tense) the tray at the male ; being a gentleman he couldn 't allow the
act to go unrewa rded . Another tray split the smoky atmosphere, this
time showering ashes in the feminine direction. A-fter such a good start
all that happened was that everyone apologized promiscuously and decided they 'd play "War " from now on .
Double or Nothing; . . .
Apparently the only suggestions that are ever gotten around here
are under-the-breath mutterings. There is not only one Suggestion Box
in the Old Gym but two. The college is well covered ; there are boxes
on both sides of the window sill back of the trash can. If yo u can 't
writ e a coherent suggestion at least mutter it in the direction of your
C. G. A. Representative.
Erieson Back on the Boards . . ".
Just want to extend the Current Cu rrents Court Congratulations to
long "Doug " Erieson who played his first game of the year against
Kutztown last Saturday . Although Doug had been very sick for some
time he made the "Dutchmen " look sick by controlling the bankboards
t hrough-out the game. He 's my kind of player—all play and no temperament .
Blood , Sweat , and Cheers . . .
With increased draft quotas iminent after the politicos soft soap us
into electing one of them, it would be a good idea to stop sweating
blood over the draft and start investing some. If the "ed" half of the
co-ods figure at all they'll realize that by giving blood in February
under the Wagner directed proj ect they are investing blood they may
be very glad to get back sometime.
The Memory Must Be Fadine . . .
Bob McNeilis of the West Chester Quad Angles got gutsy and said
(in reference to a pointed observatio n on how they hid the story of the
Husky mauling this year) that next year they 'd spread the story of
their victory across a couple pages. The timely advice would run thus :
Don 't count your victories before they arrive . Better save space next
year for black edging on the sports page. You boys better stay out of
Pretzel Bowls ; your ideas are getting a little twisted.
And They Forgot to Take Marshniallows . . .
It wasn 't exactly a hot ti me in the old town that night during
Christmas Vacation , but it was out on a mountain near Millersburg.
Two B.S.T.C. students, Bill Kline and Joe Kissinger, were attending a
stag party with some of their other-college friends when the kerosene
stove exploded in the cabin and caused a rush for the nearest and only
exit that would make a bargain day at Macy's look like a bunch of
snails on an upgrade. Ten burly boys packed up against a door which ,

Anyhow , they man aged to get outside into sixteen inches of snow and
wat ch a good forty cent deck of cards and other more valuable articles
go up in smoke without any too serious personal damages. After hiking
a mile through the white and drifted in various stages of nocturnal
dress, the wounded were delivered into the hands of a minister of
medicine and the adventure ended. The moral of this story is: Don 't
buy such expensive cards if you intend to burn c.own a cabin to git your

A Last Defiant Gesture . . .
It's been a hit and run battle all the way between me and my
buddy th e linotype operator. Trouble is he always has the last word
(if he can spell it without a mistake). I take this opporchancity to do
two things. ( 1) Point out that writers are not responsible for typographical errors, and (2) Express (after looking over the last issue )
my sincere sympathies to him on the loss of all those fingers.
Operator 's Note . . .
Thanks for the interest in my fingers. It was quite a loss to me, I
can assure you. I caugh t them on one of your split infinitives.

Marine Corps reserve second
lieut enants are given an initial
cash reimbursement of $250 for
the put'chase of uniforms. Other
compensations include free life insur ance , medical and dental care,
and post exchange, commissary

program. Lt. Pratt entered the
Marine Corps in June 1951. and
received her commission in September after completing the two
six weeks program.

word , no matter where or when he
met yo u.
"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 he
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 game took place, Bill's smile
of confidence was present at the
pep rallies and parades. No matter
wh a t the event , whether a social
affair or a n a thleti c con t est , we
could always count on Bill's presence. In short , whatever involved
the st udents of B.S.T.C. also involved Bill Trump.
"The Waller Hall girls will never forget the many things that
Bill did fo r them during the years
that he was here with us. In addition to his regular duties , he found
time to chase away an occasional
bat that had invaded the dorm , or
get rid of a few mice that had
established a reign of terror in
Waller Hall , or to take care of a
flooding lavatory . When the lights
suddenly went out or a similar
emergency occurred , the first person we went in search of was our
friend Bill 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. Ho realized how much those
letters meant to the girls and his
han d placed thousands of them in
the mailbox. These were all little
things, but they were the things
which endeared him to the students.
"Mr. Trump 's death , on February 21, 1951, brought his long
period of service to B.S.T.C. to a
close.
"And so, Dean Kehr , as a token
of our appreciation for his many
kindnesses we are happy to present to the college this memprial
of William E. Trump, "

method was sot up whereby students who are in the prescribed
upper portion of the male members of their class or who made a
score of 70 or better on the Selective Service College Qualification
Test may be considered by their
local board for deferment. The
Uiw provides, however, that local
boards are not required to defer
men who meet one or both of the
criteria. This is still discretionary
on the part of the board. General
policy is that students meeting
either or both cri teria will be deferred.
Many students have been confused in differentiating between
the I-S and II-S deferments. The
II-S deferment is considered on
the basis of class standing or
qualification test and is discretionary on the part of the local board .
It may be granted by the local
board each successive year, th u s
enabling students who meet the
criteria to complete their education. The I-S def erment on the
o t h er hand is a "one-shot" proposition designed only to allow those
students who do not have eligibility for consideration for II-S deferments, and who have n ever
bef ore received a student deferment or postponement to complete
their current academic year.
A student who receives a I-S
deferment until the end of his
current academic year may in
some instances receive a II-S deferment for the next year. If during the academic year his work
was such that he is in the prescribed upper portion of his class,
or if he takes the Selective Service College Qualification Test and
makes a score of 70 or better , the
local board can consider him for
a II-S deferment for th e following
academic year,
Local boards generally determine during the summer months *o
whom II-S deferments shall be
granted for the next academic
year. In making their determination , they consider the student's
class standing for the previous
academic year as furnished by the
school on Selective Servi ce Form
109. For example , a freshman student with a I-S deferment may
keep his class work to a point
where he is in the prescribed
upper portion of his class at the
end of that academic year or during the year take the College
Qualification Test so that he
there by becomes eligible for consideration for a II-S deferment for
the next year.
Although the Selective Service
law allows a man to enlist at any
time until ordered to report for
ind uction , the Army, Navy, and
Air Force , in J uly 1950, agreed not
to accept any man for enlistment
in any of the services after he has
been notified to report for his
Selective Service preinduction
physical examination. In June
1951, the Department of Defense
rescinded the interservice agreement and have periodically extended the period until March 31,
1952. Therefore , any student desiri ng, in January, to enlist in the
service of his choice will have the
opportunity,
