Austrian Student Two Teachers Added to Facu lty

Evening Program

A ustria will send her most
•har ming ambassadors, music and
'outh , to1 B.S.T.C. on Th ursday,
Febr uary 7, when 18 students on
ca ve from Austrian universities
)re sen( a musical show of gay
A ustrian melodies, folk dances and
yodeling at 8 p.m. in Carver Mall
\ uclitorium.
The group, which will arrive
ibo ut noon on Thursday, will sleep
n the dormitories and stay on the
B .S.T.C. campus until they leave
on Friday morning. Entertainment
for them is being planned by some
of the campus organizations, since
one of their primary aims is to
neet and learn to know American
students at firsthand.
These young Austrians are on
m eight-months tour of United
States cities and universities in a
mique gesture of international
goodwill. By means of the tour ,
the student ambassadors who created the show hope to introduce
Americans to the colorful culture
of Au st ria , and at the same time,
to learn for themselves about life
in America so they may write and
lect ure about it when they return
home.
All young university students or
school teachers, the 8 girls and 10
boys represent as many regions of
Austria as do the songs and dances
th ey perform in their show; they
come from the Alps, the Tyrol,
Carinthia, Styria, Upper and Lower Au stria , Innsbru ck , Gra z, Salzburg, and legendary Vienna.
Experts in the songs, dances,
and musical instruments of their
regions, the student ambassadors
were selected for this unique production by the "Amt fu er Studentenw ander u ng en ", an organization
found ed after World War I by Dr.
Oskar F. Bock, lector at the University of Vienna. This "Offi ce for
Studen t Tou r s" was formed as a
token of gratitude for aid rendered Austrian students by the college students of the United States
and Great Britain.
In their fields of study, the Austrian students resemble any American university group. Among them
are students of modern languages ,
engineering, law, physics, history,
music, dramatic arts , education ,
banking, commerce, economics,
agric ulture , and forestry.
While on their tour of American
cities a nd u ni ve rsi t ies, the cast
hopes to become thoroughly acquainted with the American way
of life and to write and lecture
about it when they return home.
To the accompaniment of the
harp, zither , guitar, and accordion ,
a profusion of rollicking songs,
dances, and yodeling numbers ,
culled from the folkways of all
Austria will fill the lively twohour program. The troup's brilliant and authentic costumes have
been loaned by the provincial
museums of Austria.

Beware of Smudges:
Jo hnny 's upturne d face was stained with tears, an d an expression of defeated disgust, had chased away his usual sunny
smile. Before him on the desk lay a picture of a rather ill-shaped
dog. whose features had been erased and made over 'so many
times that it was difficult to tell just what kind of dog Johnny had
in min d when he began putting marks on his paper. "What 's t h e
matter . Jo hnny ?", asked the teacher in a quiet voice.
Between his sobs, Johnny managed to tell her , "M y p icture s
• so badl y spoiled *t h at I can 't fix it anymore , an d I wanted to make
a rea l pretty dog. "
The teacher smiled as she gave him a fresh sheet of paper
and told him to forget the old picture an d make a brand new start.
You know , that 's just about what is happening here on
campus as a new semester gets un derway. Of course , we h aven 't
seen the tears , if there were any, b ut we've observe d severa l
worried expressions , an d overheard a number of students exchanging such remarks as "I just hope he passes me ", and
"Mot her and Dad will be furious if I fail that course. " There
isn 't really too much we can say or do about the semester that has
now passed into history. If you 've spoiled it beyond fixing , you
may find the consequences a bit more serious than those of
Jo hnny 's ruine d picture , b ut you can ' t do much more about it.
The opportunities you left outside in the cold , while you were too
b usy to answer t h e d oor , got tired waiting and moved on .
But just as little Johnny made a brand new start , so can you.
Here is the beg inning of a new semester and your paper (or
should we say your record in the office ) is still clean. You may
d raw a "pretty " picture i f you like. The smud ges you put on last
semester 's recor d won 't show on the one ycu walk away with
next spring. However , if you want t h at recor d to b e any b etter
t h an t h i s semester 's, t h en you can 't allow yourself to make the
same mista k es , or t h e same old smu d ges will be smirking up at
you when you finish. Doesn 't it seem a shame to think of spoiling
that nice clean record?
Maybe you 're one of the many who think ithat now is the
tim.e to breathe easy and relax a bit. After all , there 's still lots of
time to get down to work. Wh y start so soon? Well , t h at 's a
pretty good argument until you take a close look at it. Just a
slig ht reminder of those long nig hts you spent preparing f or a
hovering exam a few nights before you came face to face with
said exam , should be sufficient proof that a semester can slip by
wit hout you ever getting started on all that work you p^ lanned
to do. We full y believe , that just like Johnny, you wanted to
ma ke a pr e tt y recor d , but somewhere along the line something
went "haywire ". N ow , if you 'd rather not have a repeat performance , let us whisper a word of advice in your ear. "N ow is
the time for all go od stu d ents t o com e to g ri ps with their studies. "

Ground Hog Prefers Sleep to Shadow Hun t
The king of American weather prop hets—the ground hog —
should be dethroned! Heaped with honors he does not deserve ,
credited with powers beyond his abilities , the ground hog repays
man by refusing to work on the one day it is expected of him.
Tradition demands that he come out of his den on February 2 to
look for his shadow. Failure to cast one is said to mean an earl y
spring; the sig ht of it, six weeks more of winter.
What does the furry little animal do instead? He sleeps!!
What 's more , he normall y keeps on sleeping until around St.
Patrick' s Day, when almost anyone can tell that spring is at hand.
Then , without a thoug ht to the weather , the ground hog emerges
for his annual war on vegetation , including the crops of his human
neig hbors.
One of these phony prophets can consume half a ton of
alfalfa in a season or eat rig ht through a family bean patch at one
sitting. Numbering an estimated 200,000 in New York State and
New Eng land alone , the greed y hog is in cultivated areas a
menace to America 's food supply. Yet , he is almost the onl y
animal in this country to have a calendar day named especiall y
for him .
Although far from harmless, the ground hog or woodchuck—
a specie of marmot— is not altogether to blame for his failure at
weather prop hesying. He was never more than a new World
deputy for the European hedgehog ( porcupine) , ori ginal character
in the quafnt superstition about shadow casting on Candlemas
Day.
While the hedgehog sleeps only lig htly and can be seen

A Little Goes So Far . . . To Do So Much
Mary Lou Todd
"Hai r— 'tis tho robe which curious nature weaves to hang upon
the head. When wo were born ,
God doth bestow - that garment ,
when we die, then like a soft and
silken canopy it still is over us. In
spite of death , our hair grows in
the grave, and that alone looks
fresh , when all our other beauty is
gone. "
This particular quotation comes
from the great English Dramatist ,
Thomas Decker. I've cited it in
order to stress the importance of
hair in the life of a woman. But
more about that later. Right now
let' s turn ou r a ttention to some of
the styles on campus.
Sara Jane Hoffman is well protected from rain , snow , sleet , and
hail in her full deep purple raincoat. The collar is trimmed with
gold velveteen , and has an added
section of purple attached by two
buttons to hold the collar up when
you want to protect your neck
from the wind . Now add three
large buttons sewn with a star in
the center, and complete the coat
with raglan sleeves having large
pointed cuffs. This is really an
asset in any girl's wardrobe .
Grey seems to be one of the
most popular colors this year.
Many of the outfits are two-toned
while a famous popular combination is grey with a touch of red .
Nira McQuown wore a neat looking suit the other day . It was deep
grey accordian pleated skirt with
a waist-length j acket also in grey
but showing a dash of red corduroy binding. The peter pan collar
also had red binding. The j acket
had three-quarter length sleeves
with a cuff. Sounds pretty nice,
doesn 't it?
Perhaps you may have noticed
that it takes more than j ust yards
and yards of material to make
that fitted coat stick out in the
skirt. There is a secret and it can
all be summed up in two words—
padded hips. Back in grandmother's day this was quite the
fad. In fa ct , it was a definite necessity. It seems a little odd that
we do go back in style in many
diffe rent ways. I have in mind
right now the idea of the longer
skirts and the bustle back dresses.
Many of the suits we purchase today have a piece of stiff material
in the hips. I don't know j ust what
the material is. Perhaps, just
crenolin e. I've noti ced also that
these fitted coats ha ve the added
attr action all around the waistline. What will they think of
next ?
"Here , FlUffy" seems to be one
of the favored expressions on campus today what with the few
poodle cuts we do have. Yes, it
looks like th ey 've done it againinvented an extreme hair style
that emphasizes curls , curls, and
more curls all over the head. In
ca se yo u don 't know how it' s done ,
I'll try to enlighten you on the
subj ect by putting together Caryl
Richards' advice plus my own experience.
The best hair style , or course, is
the one that is becoming to you.
It should also be easy to care for
and should be adaptable to a
variety of arrangements. Probably
that is the reason why the poodle
cut has become so popular. It's
becoming to most women, looks
equally well with formal or casual
clothes, and , aside from the setting you will give it after each
shampoo, requires only a daily
brushing. The poodle should have
that "brushed up " look that is
fresh and youthful.
There are many versions of the
poodle cut. Tho basic idea being
cutting tho hair, putting in a soft ,
cold wave with large curls, and
then cutting the hair again. After
this is done , you may set it any
way you like. Some prefer a wavy
crown ; others with the curl toward the face; and still others ,
away from the face. May I warn
you, however, that a thin face and
a poodle cut do not go together.
Always keep in mind that , regardless of what the fad is, you'd do
best to have the hair-style that is %
becoming to you as an individual.
• That's about it, girls. Oh! I almost forgot. Several of my faithful readers felt very slighted that
I couldn 't mention any of their
outfits. Nevertheless , I'm quite
certain we have all noticed tho
stylings of Harry Brooks, Don
Caosaro, and Jack Rlttenmoyor.
See you next week!

YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE . . .
Once again the members of our College Community are asked to
contribute to a worthy cause. We are not asked to contribute dollars !:
or something that is irreplaceable, but are asked to contribute the flow /
of life—blood. There is no better way to show charity to your friends,
neighbors, and relatives than by donating a pint of your blood to the !
local blood drive to be held on campus, February 14, Valentine's Day. I
Years ago people longed to find a means to save the lives of their ?
friends and relatives. At that time there was little the average person I
could do to save the lives of his fellow men as compared with our i
methods of today. The method then employed as a cure-all was "bleed- 1
ing ". Today we recognize that such bleeding places the individual in aweaker condition than he was in before the bleeding and realize that ;
it presents another hurdle to j ump on the way to good health. Taking '
blood , the life-giving fluid , from weekened men is almost the same as I
taking part of their lives away because, most assuredly, they cannot
afford to lose the little strength they do have.
;
Today we recognize the need of blood for life more thoroughly and
have taken the oppo site attitude—that of taking blood from the healthy ;
and giving it to the needy. Here the balance is more evenly distributed.
The average individual can donate a full pint of his blood and will ;
feel none the worse for wear after it. In fact , psychologically he will
feel much better. What inflates your ego more than knowing that you ;
have saved a life ? Within a short time, when the blood supply is re- \
built , this same individual will be back ready to donate another pint of '
blood. This person realizes the true purpose of the Blood Donor program and recognizes its value to society.
When an individual contributes his blood to the Red Cross, he is ¦!
assured that it will be carefully preserved and guarded. A well known
story is th at of a soldier in Korea, who as a civilian gave his blood to
the local Red Cross. He had a rare type of blood and was only too glad ¦!
to do his part. A year later he found himself lying on a table in Korea—|
a wounded man needing blood for life. His greatest surprise came when i
he saw his name on the bottle of plasma flowing into his veins. Unusual ,. !
yes, but true. He had saved his own life.
•
The civilian can do his part in this Korean War. His charity is not }
limited , h owever , to wounded soldiers. Men, women , and children—ali i
may need help in a time of crisis. There is nothing so discouraging and i
disheartening as to realize that had you had the particular type of j
blood needed already on hand , your child , friend , or relative may have j
been alive today. Your type blood is needed desperately. Help your ]
neighbor. Help yourself — contribute to your local Blood Drive on i
February 14. SAVE A LIFE TODAY.

. . B.S.T.C. and You . J
Before you came to B.S.T.C., you probably spent many hours won-|
dering what college life would be like. You had pictures in your mind
of all the things you would do in four years of campus life. Perhaps
your thoughts went further ahead into the future. You thought of what j
you would do after graduation. You wondered what kind of courses you ]
would study, what kind of instructors would teach these courses, andj
perhaps, most of all , you thought of the many friendships you would 1
make. Subconsciously, you sot up certain goals which you hoped tojs
attain in four years of college.
I
Now that you 've been at college, it's time to think of these goals \
which you set up. Is college everything that you hoped it would be?t
Most assuredly, B.S.T.C. has had some effect on your life. Think about!

it! What has B.S.T.C. done for you ?
..
questions
Here are a few
which you should ask yourself before j
reading the remainder of this article:
1. Is B.S.T.C. giving you the type of education that you want?
2. Is it preparing you for the future ?
3. Has college life had any effect on your personality ?
^
Is life here at Bloomsburg educating and preparing you for a future :
in a world that is moving at a last pace ? After you leave B.S.T.C., you
will have to take your place in this ever-changing world. You will have ;
to cope with many situations which arise in the course of time. College
life should train you to meet these situations. When you graduate, you '
will be considered an adult. Is college life helping you cross the bridge !
from adolescence to adulthood ? Whether or not you realize it , while
you arc at B.S.T.C. you are faced with daily decisions which will have ji
a definite effect on your future.
Has college life had any effect on your personality ? While you are ;
a student hero , you come in contact with many different types of individuals. You meet people of many different nationalities and various
religions. From these people you will choose your best friends. The
friends you choose will exort a definite influence on you. If there were
any "rough spots " in your personality before you came to college, the
right acquaintances may help overcome these weaknesses. You will
soon become associated with the people whoso company you keep. Living
and working with a cross-section of people will have an influence on
your personality.
College moans not only attending classes day after day, doing homework night after night , and at the end of four years receiving a slip of
paper saying that you have met certain standards required for graduation. It moans much more than that. It means that you have spent
four years receiving an education which will prepare you to take your
place among the ranks of people who are competing in the world. You
will find that not all of this education came from books. A largo percentage of this education was attained through working with others.
After four years at B.S.T.C, you , without your realizing It , have learned
to bo an Independent Individual with certain rights and duties to perform. You have learned to stand on your own two foot. This is what
four years at B.S.T.C. can do for you. Opon the door while opportunity

Hu skies Face Tough
Fight on Home Court
Against Marauders
Bloomsburg State Teachers College will play host to Millersville's
fine b asketball team in Centenn ial
Gymnasium tomorrow night at
eight o'clock. The Husky hoopsters aim to repeat last year 's upset victory on their home court
over the visiting Marauders, while
atoning for an earlier 64-60 defeat
this season at Millersville. This
will be a difficult assignment, for
the Marauders lead in Teachers
competition with a mark of seven
wins and no losses. Bloomsburg's
record , on the other hand, stands
even with three victories against
a like number of defeats. The
Husky quintet, h owever, will have
added incentive for victory. They
will attempt to keep up their winning ways at home. So far this
season, the team has been victorious in all f our of it s con tests on
the home floor.
Millersville has been considerably strengthened this season by

The Turnover Increases . . .
With the folding of Miss Johnston's tent and the silent stealing
away, a few observations popped into the murk I call my mind. It
seems like time is catching up with some of the established elements
in our faculty. Six gone in two years indicates a trend of some sort.
Pensions are creeping up on some of the old faithful , and no matter
how good the replacements are they don't fill the void for awhile. So
get the most out of the instructors while you have them.

Somebody 's Wasting Something . . .
I don't know whether its time, effort , skill or what have you , but
the jay-vee basketball situation strikes me as poor economics ( take a
bow Mr. Redman—Econ. 1). Fifteen reasonably skilled boys spend day
after day running around Centennial Gym ; working themselves into a
lather, and for what ? No games are scheduled ; they can 't play intramurals, all they get is a shower every day. I admit that I don 't know
the complete situation, but maybe they could play top intramural teams
or local high schools. Maybe there isn 't enough money for this particular kind of ball, but it sure seems a tremendous waste of manpower
or something. — Guess I better quit before somebody jerks the soapbox
from under me.

Febr uary 7, when 18 students on
ca ve from Austrian universities
)re sen( a musical show of gay
A ustrian melodies, folk dances and
yodeling at 8 p.m. in Carver Mall
\ uclitorium.
The group, which will arrive
ibo ut noon on Thursday, will sleep
n the dormitories and stay on the
B .S.T.C. campus until they leave
on Friday morning. Entertainment
for them is being planned by some
of the campus organizations, since
one of their primary aims is to
neet and learn to know American
students at firsthand.
These young Austrians are on
m eight-months tour of United
States cities and universities in a
mique gesture of international
goodwill. By means of the tour ,
the student ambassadors who created the show hope to introduce
Americans to the colorful culture
of Au st ria , and at the same time,
to learn for themselves about life
in America so they may write and
lect ure about it when they return
home.
All young university students or
school teachers, the 8 girls and 10
boys represent as many regions of
Austria as do the songs and dances
th ey perform in their show; they
come from the Alps, the Tyrol,
Carinthia, Styria, Upper and Lower Au stria , Innsbru ck , Gra z, Salzburg, and legendary Vienna.

Beware of Smudges:
Jo hnny 's upturne d face was stained with tears, an d an expression of defeated disgust, had chased away his usual sunny
smile. Before him on the desk lay a picture of a rather ill-shaped
dog. whose features had been erased and made over 'so many
times that it was difficult to tell just what kind of dog Johnny had
in min d when he began putting marks on his paper. "What 's t h e
matter . Jo hnny ?", asked the teacher in a quiet voice.
Between his sobs, Johnny managed to tell her , "M y p icture s
• so badl y spoiled *t h at I can 't fix it anymore , an d I wanted to make
a rea l pretty dog. "
The teacher smiled as she gave him a fresh sheet of paper
and told him to forget the old picture an d make a brand new start.
You know , that 's just about what is happening here on
campus as a new semester gets un derway. Of course , we h aven 't
seen the tears , if there were any, b ut we've observe d severa l
worried expressions , an d overheard a number of students exchanging such remarks as "I just hope he passes me ", and
"Mot her and Dad will be furious if I fail that course. " There
isn 't really too much we can say or do about the semester that has
now passed into history. If you 've spoiled it beyond fixing , you
may find the consequences a bit more serious than those of
Jo hnny 's ruine d picture , b ut you can ' t do much more about it.
The opportunities you left outside in the cold , while you were too
b usy to answer t h e d oor , got tired waiting and moved on .
But just as little Johnny made a brand new start , so can you.
Here is the beg inning of a new semester and your paper (or
should we say your record in the office ) is still clean. You may
d raw a "pretty " picture i f you like. The smud ges you put on last
semester 's recor d won 't show on the one ycu walk away with
next spring. However , if you want t h at recor d to b e any b etter
t h an t h i s semester 's, t h en you can 't allow yourself to make the
same mista k es , or t h e same old smu d ges will be smirking up at
you when you finish. Doesn 't it seem a shame to think of spoiling
that nice clean record?
Maybe you 're one of the many who think ithat now is the
tim.e to breathe easy and relax a bit. After all , there 's still lots of
time to get down to work. Wh y start so soon? Well , t h at 's a
pretty good argument until you take a close look at it. Just a
slig ht reminder of those long nig hts you spent preparing f or a
hovering exam a few nights before you came face to face with
said exam , should be sufficient proof that a semester can slip by
wit hout you ever getting started on all that work you p^ lanned
to do. We full y believe , that just like Johnny, you wanted to
ma ke a pr e tt y recor d , but somewhere along the line something
went "haywire ". N ow , if you 'd rather not have a repeat performance , let us whisper a word of advice in your ear. "N ow is
the time for all go od stu d ents t o com e to g ri ps with their studies. "

Ground Hog Prefers Sleep to Shadow Hun t
The king of American weather prop hets—the ground hog —
should be dethroned! Heaped with honors he does not deserve ,
credited with powers beyond his abilities , the ground hog repays
man by refusing to work on the one day it is expected of him.
Tradition demands that he come out of his den on February 2 to
look for his shadow. Failure to cast one is said to mean an earl y
spring; the sig ht of it, six weeks more of winter.
What does the furry little animal do instead? He sleeps!!
What 's more , he normall y keeps on sleeping until around St.
Patrick' s Day, when almost anyone can tell that spring is at hand.
Then , without a thoug ht to the weather , the ground hog emerges
for his annual war on vegetation , including the crops of his human
neig hbors.
One of these phony prophets can consume half a ton of
alfalfa in a season or eat rig ht through a family bean patch at one
sitting. Numbering an estimated 200,000 in New York State and
New Eng land alone , the greed y hog is in cultivated areas a
menace to America 's food supply. Yet , he is almost the onl y
animal in this country to have a calendar day named especiall y
for him .
Although far from harmless, the ground hog or woodchuck—
a specie of marmot— is not altogether to blame for his failure at
weather prop hesying. He was never more than a new World
deputy for the European hedgehog ( porcupine) , ori ginal character
in the quafnt superstition about shadow casting on Candlemas
Day.
While the hedgehog sleeps only lig htly and can be seen

A Little Goes So Far . . . To Do So Much
Mary Lou Todd
"Hai r— 'tis tho robe which curious nature weaves to hang upon
the head. When wo were born ,
God doth bestow - that garment ,
when we die, then like a soft and
silken canopy it still is over us. In
spite of death , our hair grows in
the grave, and that alone looks
fresh , when all our other beauty is
gone. "
This particular quotation comes
from the great English Dramatist ,
Thomas Decker. I've cited it in
order to stress the importance of
hair in the life of a woman. But
more about that later. Right now
let' s turn ou r a ttention to some of
the styles on campus.
Sara Jane Hoffman is well protected from rain , snow , sleet , and
hail in her full deep purple raincoat. The collar is trimmed with
gold velveteen , and has an added
section of purple attached by two
buttons to hold the collar up when
you want to protect your neck
from the wind . Now add three
large buttons sewn with a star in
the center, and complete the coat
with raglan sleeves having large
pointed cuffs. This is really an
asset in any girl's wardrobe .
Grey seems to be one of the
most popular colors this year.
Many of the outfits are two-toned
while a famous popular combination is grey with a touch of red .
Nira McQuown wore a neat looking suit the other day . It was deep
grey accordian pleated skirt with
a waist-length j acket also in grey
but showing a dash of red corduroy binding. The peter pan collar
also had red binding. The j acket
had three-quarter length sleeves
with a cuff. Sounds pretty nice,
doesn 't it?
Perhaps you may have noticed
that it takes more than j ust yards
and yards of material to make
that fitted coat stick out in the
skirt. There is a secret and it can
all be summed up in two words—
padded hips. Back in grandmother's day this was quite the
fad. In fa ct , it was a definite necessity. It seems a little odd that
we do go back in style in many
diffe rent ways. I have in mind
right now the idea of the longer
skirts and the bustle back dresses.
Many of the suits we purchase today have a piece of stiff material
in the hips. I don't know j ust what
the material is. Perhaps, just
crenolin e. I've noti ced also that
these fitted coats ha ve the added
attr action all around the waistline. What will they think of
next ?
"Here , FlUffy" seems to be one
of the favored expressions on campus today what with the few
poodle cuts we do have. Yes, it
looks like th ey 've done it againinvented an extreme hair style
that emphasizes curls , curls, and
more curls all over the head. In
ca se yo u don 't know how it' s done ,
I'll try to enlighten you on the
subj ect by putting together Caryl
Richards' advice plus my own experience.
The best hair style , or course, is
the one that is becoming to you.
It should also be easy to care for
and should be adaptable to a
variety of arrangements. Probably
that is the reason why the poodle
cut has become so popular. It's
becoming to most women, looks
equally well with formal or casual
clothes, and , aside from the setting you will give it after each
shampoo, requires only a daily
brushing. The poodle should have
that "brushed up " look that is
fresh and youthful.
There are many versions of the
poodle cut. Tho basic idea being
cutting tho hair, putting in a soft ,
cold wave with large curls, and
then cutting the hair again. After
this is done , you may set it any
way you like. Some prefer a wavy
crown ; others with the curl toward the face; and still others ,
away from the face. May I warn
you, however, that a thin face and
a poodle cut do not go together.
Always keep in mind that , regardless of what the fad is, you'd do
best to have the hair-style that is %
becoming to you as an individual.
• That's about it, girls. Oh! I almost forgot. Several of my faithful readers felt very slighted that
I couldn 't mention any of their
outfits. Nevertheless , I'm quite
certain we have all noticed tho
stylings of Harry Brooks, Don
Caosaro, and Jack Rlttenmoyor.
See you next week!

YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE . . .
Once again the members of our College Community are asked to
contribute to a worthy cause. We are not asked to contribute dollars !:
or something that is irreplaceable, but are asked to contribute the flow /
of life—blood. There is no better way to show charity to your friends,
neighbors, and relatives than by donating a pint of your blood to the !
local blood drive to be held on campus, February 14, Valentine's Day. I
Years ago people longed to find a means to save the lives of their ?
friends and relatives. At that time there was little the average person I
could do to save the lives of his fellow men as compared with our i
methods of today. The method then employed as a cure-all was "bleed- 1
ing ". Today we recognize that such bleeding places the individual in aweaker condition than he was in before the bleeding and realize that ;
it presents another hurdle to j ump on the way to good health. Taking '
blood , the life-giving fluid , from weekened men is almost the same as I
taking part of their lives away because, most assuredly, they cannot
afford to lose the little strength they do have.
;
Today we recognize the need of blood for life more thoroughly and
have taken the oppo site attitude—that of taking blood from the healthy ;
and giving it to the needy. Here the balance is more evenly distributed.
The average individual can donate a full pint of his blood and will ;
feel none the worse for wear after it. In fact , psychologically he will
feel much better. What inflates your ego more than knowing that you ;
have saved a life ? Within a short time, when the blood supply is re- \
built , this same individual will be back ready to donate another pint of '
blood. This person realizes the true purpose of the Blood Donor program and recognizes its value to society.
When an individual contributes his blood to the Red Cross, he is ¦!
assured that it will be carefully preserved and guarded. A well known
story is th at of a soldier in Korea, who as a civilian gave his blood to
the local Red Cross. He had a rare type of blood and was only too glad ¦!
to do his part. A year later he found himself lying on a table in Korea—|
a wounded man needing blood for life. His greatest surprise came when i
he saw his name on the bottle of plasma flowing into his veins. Unusual ,. !
yes, but true. He had saved his own life.
•
The civilian can do his part in this Korean War. His charity is not }
limited , h owever , to wounded soldiers. Men, women , and children—ali i
may need help in a time of crisis. There is nothing so discouraging and i
disheartening as to realize that had you had the particular type of j
blood needed already on hand , your child , friend , or relative may have j
been alive today. Your type blood is needed desperately. Help your ]
neighbor. Help yourself — contribute to your local Blood Drive on i
February 14. SAVE A LIFE TODAY.

. . B.S.T.C. and You . J
Before you came to B.S.T.C., you probably spent many hours won-|
dering what college life would be like. You had pictures in your mind
of all the things you would do in four years of campus life. Perhaps
your thoughts went further ahead into the future. You thought of what j
you would do after graduation. You wondered what kind of courses you ]
would study, what kind of instructors would teach these courses, andj
perhaps, most of all , you thought of the many friendships you would 1
make. Subconsciously, you sot up certain goals which you hoped tojs
attain in four years of college.
I
Now that you 've been at college, it's time to think of these goals \
which you set up. Is college everything that you hoped it would be?t
Most assuredly, B.S.T.C. has had some effect on your life. Think about!
{
it! What has B.S.T.C. done for you ?
..
questions
Here are a few
which you should ask yourself before j
reading the remainder of this article:
1. Is B.S.T.C. giving you the type of education that you want?
2. Is it preparing you for the future ?
3. Has college life had any effect on your personality ?
^
Is life here at Bloomsburg educating and preparing you for a future :
in a world that is moving at a last pace ? After you leave B.S.T.C., you
will have to take your place in this ever-changing world. You will have ;
to cope with many situations which arise in the course of time. College
life should train you to meet these situations. When you graduate, you '
will be considered an adult. Is college life helping you cross the bridge !
from adolescence to adulthood ? Whether or not you realize it , while
you arc at B.S.T.C. you are faced with daily decisions which will have ji
a definite effect on your future.
Has college life had any effect on your personality ? While you are ;
a student hero , you come in contact with many different types of individuals. You meet people of many different nationalities and various
religions. From these people you will choose your best friends. The
friends you choose will exort a definite influence on you. If there were
any "rough spots " in your personality before you came to college, the
right acquaintances may help overcome these weaknesses. You will
soon become associated with the people whoso company you keep. Living
and working with a cross-section of people will have an influence on
your personality.
College moans not only attending classes day after day, doing homework night after night , and at the end of four years receiving a slip of

Hu skies Face Tough
Fight on Home Court
Against Marauders
Bloomsburg State Teachers College will play host to Millersville's
fine b asketball team in Centenn ial
Gymnasium tomorrow night at
eight o'clock. The Husky hoopsters aim to repeat last year 's upset victory on their home court
over the visiting Marauders, while
atoning for an earlier 64-60 defeat
this season at Millersville. This
will be a difficult assignment, for
the Marauders lead in Teachers
competition with a mark of seven
wins and no losses. Bloomsburg's
record , on the other hand, stands
even with three victories against
a like number of defeats. The
Husky quintet, h owever, will have
added incentive for victory. They
will attempt to keep up their winning ways at home. So far this
season, the team has been victorious in all f our of it s con tests on
the home floor.
Millersville has been considerably strengthened this season by

in basketball situations, made another right decision and got himself

The Turnover Increases . . .
With the folding of Miss Johnston's tent and the silent stealing
away, a few observations popped into the murk I call my mind. It
seems like time is catching up with some of the established elements
in our faculty. Six gone in two years indicates a trend of some sort.
Pensions are creeping up on some of the old faithful , and no matter
how good the replacements are they don't fill the void for awhile. So
get the most out of the instructors while you have them.

Somebody 's Wasting Something . . .
I don't know whether its time, effort , skill or what have you , but
the jay-vee basketball situation strikes me as poor economics ( take a
bow Mr. Redman—Econ. 1). Fifteen reasonably skilled boys spend day
after day running around Centennial Gym ; working themselves into a
lather, and for what ? No games are scheduled ; they can 't play intramurals, all they get is a shower every day. I admit that I don 't know
the complete situation, but maybe they could play top intramural teams
or local high schools. Maybe there isn 't enough money for this particular kind of ball, but it sure seems a tremendous waste of manpower
or something. — Guess I better quit before somebody jerks the soapbox
from under me.
