CC.G.A. General Election
The M&G photographer records a snatch of the nightly rehearsals
annual production of the Bloomsbu rg Players to be presented April 1.
Yesterday's assembly saw the
Nominees for the offices of president and vice-president give
speeches on their behalf to the
student body.
Edwin Cunfer, in his address,
explained briefly to the audience
that he had set three main goals
for himself. The first was to become a good teacher like that of
Mr. William Horvath, a past president of the C.G.A. and also pne of
Ed' s high school teachers. The
second was to attend Bloomsburg
State Teachers College and the
third was to win, like Mr. Horvath, the respect and good will of
the college community and become C.G.A. president.
Mr. Cunfer went on to say that
experience has shown that promises and platforms are only a
being held*in preparation for the means
of getting votes and do not
represent the true worth of the
individual or party. If elected, he
said, he would promise the community two things: to represent
the students' interests in the College Council; to do his best in
everything he sets out to do.

Dr. North Wants Players Rehearse Awards Presented
To Students by
For "You Can't
Masters To Be
Granted by S.T.C* Take It With You" Walter S- Rygiel
"The upgrading of the teaching
profession could be expedited to a
considerable extent if the State
Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania
were authorized , as is the case in
several other st ates , to gr ant the
Master Degree in Elementary Education," Dr. Thomas P. North,
dean of instruction , told representatives of the Southern Convention District of the Pennsylvania
State Ed u cation Association at a
conference held today at Hershey.
Dean North , who is chairman of
the state-wide commission on
Teacher Education and Professional Standards, gave the keynote
address on the subj ect of "Teacher
Education and Professional Standards."
Dr. North said, "The teachers
colleges of this state have on their
camp uses excellent l a b o r a t o r y
schools for elementary children
and many other facilities necessary for an adequate program of
graduate work for the Master 's
Degree in Elementary Education. "
During the course of his address, Dean North pointed out the
chief obj ective of a teachers college or department of education
should be the preparation of competent teachers. The program of
education must be balanced with
respect to general education , speciali zed fields , professional education , and opportunities for broadening activities and elect ive courses.
"The faculty should be comprised of Master Teachers, well prepared in subj ect matter and with
an up-to-date understand ing of the
needs of teachers ," Dr. North
pointed out.
In concluding, the Bloomsburg
dean stressed the point that teacher education , to be good, requires
constant alertness and hard work.
WAC Commissions
To Be Available
Qualified women college graduates and prospective graduates of
1952 interested in obtaining a
Regular Army commission in the
Women 's Army Corps must apply
before an April 15th deadline ,
P e n n s y l v a n i a Military District
Headquarters announced today.
Eligibility for commissions is
based on interviews, investigations, examinations , and a review
of college records in addition to
the following qualifications :
College graduate or prospective
graduate in her senior year; attained her 21st birthday but not
have passed her 27th birthday; be
a citizen of the United States; bo
unmarried ; be oC good moral character, and other requirements.
Applications should be submitted through the Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the
college of the applicant or should
be mailed to the WAC Staff Advisor, Headquarters Second Army,
Fort; George G. Meade, Maryland.
More than 100 women were selected last year and completed
their training at the WAC Training Center, Fort Lee, Vn. on February 1st.
For the past three weeks, rehearsals for the public play of the
year have been going on steadily..
This year the Bloomsburg Players
will present, "You Can 't Tak e It
With You," written by Moss Hart
and George S. Kaufman. The production was a Broadway success
in its early years and later was
adapted by the motion picture industry into an outstanding film.
Unnoticed by many students,
Miss Stolp, the director of the
Dramatic Club, and her chosen
group of thespians have been rehearsing continuously both day
and night for the spring production.
If y ou happened to overhear the
acti vity at one of th e rehearsals ,
you may have been dubious as to
whether it was a practice session
or a meeting of the U.N. For down
from the stage come the ravings
of Russian dialect , comedy of Italian aloofness, and chuckles of
N egro humor. All thi s, mingled
with amazing props such as fireworks and snakes, attest to the
fact that everyone can expect an
enj oyable and fine production on
April 1.
A complete cast has been chosen
and consists of: Penelope Sycamore—Jean Miller; Essie—Mary

Dr* Bernreuter
Advises Students
On Personality
As a part of the Annual Retail
Sales Conference , a special afternoon assembly featured Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, director of the
psychological clinic of Pennsylvania State College. Dr. Andruss
introduced Dr. Bernreuter as both
a teacher and a salesman ; his
topic, "On Developing Your Personality," brought out the relationship between t e a c h i n g and
selling and the importance of personality to both.
He observed that one of the r
greatest tasks of a teacher deals
with helping others to develop
their personalities. He defined personality as "the effect one person
has on those with whom he lives,"
and emphasized that "if you notice
a person and respond to him, that
person has a personality. Whether
it is a pleasant kind of response or
not depends upon the situation. "
. Dr, Bernreuter listed annoying
traits characteristic of teachers :
general attitude expressed toward
pupils, poor speech habits, general
classroom behavior, carelessness
about personal appearance, and
poor techniques of teaching. Each
of these has ah adverse effect on
the program of children In the
class,
"It pays to develop your own
personality as well as you can ,"
Dr. Bernreuter advised. To Improve a negative personality, ho
suggested * that the Individual do
all he can to eliminate superficial
defects and that he consult an
expert to help correct deep-rooted
defects,

Student Teachin g . . .
Student teaching h as its goo d points as well as its bad. Have
you ever serious ly thoug ht of it , an d come to a decision as to
which side of the fence it is classified in your books? Good versus
bad.
Many stu dents ask wh y. Why even have student teaching ?
Their argument seems to hinge on the idea that it will either "ma k e
or break " the student teacher. This may b e true in some" aspects,
but on the whole it hel ps develop what we hope will be the best
teachers produced in this section of the state. Far too many persons are un der the impression that student teaching is a resting
period. A sing le glance at one of these student teachers will disprove t h is t h eory comp l ete ly. Most of the time , t h ey are l a d ene d
down with books, searching fhe library shelves for additional
materia l , an d working themselves into a frenzy over lesson plans.
However , stu dent teachers develop an entirel y new out l oo k
an d attitude toward their work when they run into the everyday
problems of teaching. All the little teaching techniques they
picked up during their own college daze come into use. A more
pro fessional style and attitude emerges as the teaching advances.
The student teacher can obtain that air of confidence so necessary
on the first day of real teaching, for if this surety and confidence
is lacking, t h e pup ils will notice it immediatel y an d cap ita lize on
your weaknesses.
If the teacher doesn ' t gui de the class , the students will take
over t h e reins an d h avoc wi ll rei gn. Throug h student teaching,
you l earn to contro l , teac h , an d fascinate the men and women of
tomorrow. Ev eryone knows that a course can be one extreme or
anot her— dull or interesting. If cooperation means graduation , a
plan must be worked out between the teacher and student. That
is , i f you h ave a h ar d wor k ing cl ass , be fair and friend l y. A
co-operative class can be marked down in the dream section while
the non co-operative would fall under the nightmare category.
Have you any i d ea w h at t h ose "little monsters " or chat "mo b", as
some disgusted students are bound to say, can do to a poor frusj
trated student teacher?
Throug h student teaching you can find out what kind of a
teacher you will be, h ow y our p u p ils react to your methods, and
learn all the "tricks of the trade ". You may be puzzled as to that
last comment, yes , there are tricks in teaching. By the do or die
method which is student teaching , we here at Bloomsburg can
achieve our goal, that is , to produce the best teachers, so t h at t he y
in turn may produce a group of people with a new and brighter
(A. G.)
outlook on life , as well as a well-rounded education.
Dear Diar y . . .
"March 25, 1952
Today was the date of the C.G.A. elections here on the campus of B.S.T.C. Along about eleven o ' clock this morn ing, I made
my way to the election booth to cast my most important ballot.
There sat the entire election board , looking quite efficient and
supposedly watching to see that all was fair. From a distance ,
things looked quite the same as usual. But just as I approached ,
a gentle hand grasped my arm and pulled me aside. Looking me
strai ght in the eye, the owner of the aforementioned gentle hand
said in a voice that I knew very well meant business , I j ust want
to remind you that
•. . . is going to be elected today.
Don 't make any mistakes. Understand/ '
"Of course , I understood. I knew all too well that it wouldn ' t
be possible for me to make a mistake in marking the ballot that
someone handed me. How could anyone make a mistake with a
thousand eyes watching to see that I didn ' t? Anyway, it wouldn ' t
do me any good if I did manage to put an "X" beside the name I ,
myself, had chosen. While the votes were in the process of being
counted, my unfortunate little ballot would have a little candidacy
of its own; namel y, running for the office of waste basket filler.
Need I tell you that fhe election would be quite unanimous?
"However , I am very thankful that , at least, I can still pretend
I am voting. It gives me the feeling that one day out of a year I
am entitled to personal instructions pertaining to how I should
conduct what was once my own private affair. And , if someday
they should decide to just mark the ballot for me , I don 't suppose
I can complain, They will be merely saving me some precious
time that I can devote to doing something else those "elected"
persons have cooked up. "
Thank goodness none of you will be making such an en try
in your diaries next March 25, In America secret ballots are part
of our heritage ,
Voting is not a duty which you are required to perform ; it is
a rig ht which you are entitled to exercise as you see fit, The way

The College Hour
If you happen to hear familiar voices over the local radio stations
• in the weeks to come, don't be alarmed. B.S.T.C. has begun a series of
radio broadcasts that will take the classroom to the people. Since we
will someday guide the younger generation during their most valuable
years, it is only natural that parents should be concerned about the
activities here at Bloomsburg. Therefore, they should be given the
opportunity to know what the faculty and students are doing. By broadcasting over the radio , Dean Hoch and Miss Stolp believe they will
contact many parents who can 't follow college activities otherwise.
Our athletic programs, the annual sales conference, the basketball
tournament , and the everyday contacts our students have with the
public can and do create good will with parents and promising teachers.
Although some of our activities are to establish an interest in the college
and teaching profession , they also aid in giving the community a better
understanding of our education here at college. Our dean of collegecommunity relationships , Mr. Hoch, has been the mainstay of our college
activities. To Mr. Hoch and Miss Stolp, our new faculty member , the I
Maroon and Gold give credit for this new method of achieving the goal 1
of bet ter relations.
The new method is the "College Hour ", a weekly broadcast featuring students from B.S.T.C. under the supervision of Miss Stolp, the
faculty advisor. The "College Hour " is a half-hour weekly broadcast
designed to acquaint the radio audience with the classroom work and
activities at B.S.T.C.
The first of the series of broadcasts was given on March 4, 1952.
The "College Hour " will be presented over both the local radio stations ,
WCNR and WHLM on alternate weeks. Beginning with the broadcast
on March 4, the program on WCNR will be heard every other Tuesday,
from 2:30 to 3:00 P.M. The day and t ime of broadcast over WHLM has
not been decided upon as of the time this article was written.
The first broadcast over WCNR featured some of B.S.T.C.'s most
talented musicians, most of whom we have heard in Chapel. The
program was as follows :
'Dick Powell, senior from Pottstown, sang Hammerstein and Wilkinson 's, "Because of You."
John Bogdan , a j unior from Philadelphia , played Robert Schumann's
"Traumerei" on the violin.
Mary Ann Fink , a sophomore from Berwick, sang Rudolf Friml's
"Some Day."
Mary Grace Aimers played Schonberg, Coburn , and Rose's "Whispering" on the organ.
Pavil Franks, freshman, from Girardville read Kipling, and sang
"On the Road to Mandalay."
Mary Joan Williams, a sophomore from Trucksville, played Claude
Debussy 's "Clair de Lune" on the piano.
Mary Lou Todd, a j unior from Bloomsburg, sang "My Hero" from
the "Chocolate Soldier" by Oscar Strauss.
Thomas Anthony, senior from Shamokin, sang Henry Blossom and
Victor Herbert's "Thine Alone."
Mary Joan Williams accompanied Dick Powell , Mary Ann Fink ,
and Tom Anthony. Mary Grace Aimers accompanied John Bogdan , and
Myra, Albertson , sophomore, from Dewart , accompanied Paul Franks.
Karol Ruppel was the student announcer for the program.
The second program planned to be presented over WHLM is the
old time story, a favorite of both young and old , "The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow," by Washington Irving. The story will be dramatized here at
B.S.T.C. and put on a tape recording, so it will be ready when WHLM
wishes to broadcast. The drama is under the student direction of Laura
Philo. Members of the cast are : Joanne Cuff, Teresa Guinard , Karol
Ruppel, Gerald Houseknecht, Lee Denner, Alex Kubic, Al Chiscon, and
Frank Vacante. Mary Grace Aimers will play the musical bridges on
the organ.
Other programs to be presented are being planned and will be
announced as soon as the schedule is completed. These programs furnish
our students with an opportunity to gain experience and help the standing of our college. No activity can be a complete success without the
cooperation of the faculty and student body, so it is the duty of every
student to help these radio broadcasts. Tell your friends and parents
about these broadcasts, so they can enjoy college talent at its best.
A special word of appreciation should be given to Miss Stolp for her
devoted attention and interest in these programs. As faculty adviser,
Miss Stolp can give the students experienced leadership. For the short
time Miss Stolp has been with us, she has certainly proven her interest
in our college. It proves that our faculty is sincere in giving us opportunities to broaden our education.
Tins week I noticed many outfits which were quite clever , in my
estimation. Much to my amazement , many of the outfits had a
touch of red.
One of these outfits is worn by
Nellie Swartz. It has a red woolj ersey three-quarter length sleeved blouse with two V-shaped overlapping designs. Nellie trims the
peter pan collar by adding a gold
medallion. Now for her skirt . . .
It is a dark plaid of navy, rust ,
red , green , and purple. I might
also add that it has those helpful
m u s h r o o m p l e a t s which hide
*
wrinkles.
For another bright shade of red ,
we turn to Janice Pugh in a red
cotton blouse with full three-quarter length sleeves ending in a tiny
cuff. A peter pan collar, and five
white pearl buttons are a few of
the other noticeable characteristics. Janice tops off a salt and
pepper grey full skirt with approximately 10 unpressed pleats
with a wide black leather belt
with double buckles in the front .
Sound refreshing ?
Now we turn to Jeanne Skeeba
in navy, from head to toe. Jeanne
wears a navy cotton jersey blouse
with a round rolled sweater collar
and short sleeves. I have been informed that there is a detachable
white linen peter pan collar which
is easy to add by just buttoning it
on. Scatter three gold pins of
heart - and-arrow s t y l e on t h e
blouse. A navy skirt with 9 sets
of double pleats is topped with a
natural colored bel t with a gold
medallion in the front and the
buckle in back. A pair of white
ski socks with a figure in blue
w e a r i n g red skiis c o m p l e t e
Jeanne's outfit. Re'ally cute!
Marg Shultz always looks fine
in any of her sport clothes. One
of my favorites is a straight navy
skirt which zips up the back and
has two large pockets running
around each hip. Marg tops this
with a luscious navy, red, and
white elbow-length sweater. We
might claim navy as the background and then add a thick red
stripe in a banner position followed by another in white. A touch of
white is also repeated around the
sleeve cuffs and the waist. While
we're still looking at the same
person , I think the hair-style
should be mentioned. This is, in
my estimation , one of the most
flattering on campus. Of course,
any of you that know Marg real
well, will know to whom she attributes this striking style. It
must be nice!

Th us far , th e high school basketball tournament has been one of
the most exciting fracases for years, as the big event opened with a
bang-up card of thrilling battles, and has continued right through during
the week' s tilts . Also in the fa vorable department is the fact that
att endance is higher so far this year than last , and with plenty of action
to come, the crowds will probably exceed last year 's grinding of the
turnstiles.
Last week we took a brief look at the National League, a n d this
week with4 the major league exhibitions in full swing, we will now give
a quick preview of the American League.
CLEVELAND INDIANS — The Indi ans look like the team to beat in
the American League this year. Lemon is almost sure to regain his
brilliant form of the 1950 season and the few years before that. This
plus equally good pitching from Garcia , and possibly the aging Bobby
Feller who is far from washed up, should make the Indians first place
bound.
NEW YORK YANKEES — some of the Yankee pitchers have seen their
better days and will wish they were five years younger come the middle
of hot months this year. This fa ctor plus the spirit and good playing
th at DiMaggio instilled in the club before he retired , should keep the
Yanks from winning another title .
BOSTON REDSOX — they have been picked and picked again , but not
too many fans will have faith in this team this season. They haven 't
aided their cause a great deal by any remarkable change in personnel ,
so they, too , can look to the f utur e for a pennant.
DETROIT TIGERS — this is a club that can end up in the first division
or in the tail-end of the second division if they don't watch their steps.
Their heyday of stars has long since passed, but those few good ball
players still around Briggs Stadium may make or break the club—their
supply of rookies won't.
ST. LOUIS BROWNS — watch the Browns move this year. They have
found the basement a very damp spot in the past few years, and now
behind some good rookies and Bill Veeck's heavy purse, they will climb
out of the doldrums arid scare a few teams before October rolls around.
CHICAGO WHITESOX — they looked their best in last year 's sea son
and they don't figure to repeat with such spotty talent this year. The
Sox have a good hitting club and also dependable fielding, but their
pitching is erratic, and will crack up just as it did last year. They are
good for a four th or fifth spot , depending on the Browns and Tigers
power.
PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS—the A's will have a struggle all season
keeping out of the basement, and they are lucky that Washington is in
the league or that is exactly where they will end up.
WASHINGTON SENATORS — about the only thing the Senator f ans
will have to cheer this year is the campaign speeches in their fair city.
The Sens look like one of the worst, if not the poorest club in- either
league. If they are lucky and get a few breaks which doesn't seem
likely, they may end up in seventh place. But as it looks now, Griffith
Stadium will house the cellar-kings of the American League.
Baseball S ide lights ? ? ?
This week the picture is a little different in the diamond situation.
The snow is gone and March winds are howling their way over the land,
but we still have to peek into Ben Franklin gym to follow the activities
of the 1952 Spring edition of Bob Redman's baseball team.
'Due to this cramped position we can not see the whole team work
out in one night . Coach Redman casi s his critical eye on the outfield
candidates on Monday and Wednesday and then on the infield aspirants
on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons while,, mound staff works every
day. Friday is a day of option for everyone and they may come out or
not as they see fit. Even handicapped by the space situation , Redman
carries on many activities and keeps all of the attending men busy for
the one hour period that they work out.
A typical workout would run something like this: A short limberingup period , consisting of many exercises used to develop leg, back, and
arm muscles. This "relaxing" is led by Catcher George Lambrinos and
lasts for about 5 minutes. Coach Redman then disperses the men to
different locations in the gym to work at various things. Six pitchers
and three catchers loosen up and throw and the remainder of the staff
j ump rope, squeeze rubber balls, swing bats or toss medicine balls. The
outfield or infield men , whoever is there , throw "grounders " or practice
batting stances or they work on defensive technique such as running
clown a picked-off runner. Each activity is limited in its time so that
all the members of the squad got in some work at the main things
concerned with these inside practices.
Mr. Redman is aided in this jo b by Head Manager Bill Stoutenburgh
of Hatboro and Merlin Jones , football guard from Wilkes-Barre. These
men are in charge of all equipment and must see that buttin g boxes and
plates are marked and the most important thin g is to see that anything
breakable ov chippable is covered by mats so there won't be any damage
done by the wild throws of the winter cramped arms, When the team
moves outside these same men must convert into watchdogs and retrievers as they must keep an eye on the foul balls and also on tho
home run balls. (Ca n 't you see Stoutie as a dog, CC?)
The Huskies dropped Kings College early last week, quickly filled
the gap by scheduling Harper College of Endicott , New York. This
keeps the season total of games to 16.

Summary of Early Games
Invitational Basketball Tournament
Branch Twp. 52 — Locust 50
Locust Township High Buffaloes
started slow and ended in the
same manner, as they dropped a
close decision to Branch Township,
lo ca t ed at Llewellyn , near Pottsvill e, 52-50.
The Branch boys racked up nine
points before the Buffaloes found
the range. Then Johnny Hughes '
lads started hitting and gained the
lead shortly after the third session
began. Their in ability to control
th e boards in the last period proved their downf all as the Branch
cagers made a belated rally.
The Branch attack was led by
House and Buber with 20 and 15
points respectively, although it
was Al Heiser, a substitute guard
who dropped in the winning goal.
Fleming led the Buffaloes in scoring with 13 points and received
valuable aid from Petuskey with
11 and P. Lindemuth with 10.
Branch Twp. 16 11 11 14—52
Locust Twp.

Rock Glen 43, Huntingdon MiUs 41
A small but speedy Rock Glen
team took a five point first quarter lead and managed to hold it
throughout most of the remainder
of the game as they downed a
much smaller Huntington Mills
foe.
A freeze in the waning minutes
of the game broke up a determined rally by the Hunters, and assured victory to Rock Glen. The
keynote in their win, however, was
their ability to effectively throttle
Francis Gearhart. the big gun in
the Hunters attack. Gearhart was
high scorer for the game, but he
was able to garner only eight of
his sixteen ooints from the field.
The Rock Glen attack was pretty
well balanced with Pekala 's 12
points being tops.

Butler Twp. 77 — Dallas Twp. 51
Butler Twp., led by big- Ronnie
Bush, an All-Tournament selection
last year, compiled an immense
firs t half lead and proceeded to
coast the rest of the way as they
outclassed Dallas Twp., 77-51.
Most of Butler Twp. 's scoring in
the firs t half was in close as they
utilized a fast-breaking offense
that featured good passing and
good shooting. In the meantime
an all-court press by the victors
befuddled the Dallas passers, and
the result was an ineffective offense which produced only 21
points by half-time—27 points less
than Butler.
The second half was evenly
matched with the Butler reserves
holding their own against a rej uvenated Red and White quintet.
Ronnie Bush emerged high scorer
with 18 points and teamed up with
E. Beecroft, who tallied 12, to
lead the Butler attack. Harris
wit h 17 and Kozick with 16 wer e
high for the losers.

Dallas Twp.
Tremont 40 — Westmoreland 38
The final erame of the evening
oitted a well-balanced Westmoreland team against a surprisinsly
strong Tremont five led by Willie
Jones , a high scoring center. The
result was a nip-and j tuck affair
throughout with the excellent
shooting of Jones proving to be
the decidi ng factor, as Tremont
prevailed 40-38.
Neither team enioyed a sizeable
lead at any time during the fray,
and the score at the end of 32
minutes was as close as it could
be—38-38—a tie ball game. Both
teams went scoreless in the first
extra-period, and the second extra-perisd was nearing a close
when Jones sank a j ump shot from
the foul line to decide the issue.

You and Elections . . .
The old Gym has blossomed out with more banners and signs than
a burlesque show. Those signs are a healthy sign ; shows interest and
such. Some colleges consider themselves doing well when 507r of the

candidate wants your vote it must be worth something. Use it 1
The other side of it . . .
Yores trooly probed around and found out a coupla things on this
fire-tower fraternizing deal of recent interest. Seems that no one is
trying to buck human nature (as if such a thing is possible) , it's just
the location of the amorous pursuits which causes the problem. So if
we can just hold off till a kissin ' policy is arrived at , this thing will
iron itself out yet, (Note to E.T.D. : Don 't tear your hair; I can write

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder . . .
With mid-semester tests wreaking havoc among the burners-of-thecandle-at-both-ends, it becomes obvious that the instructors also can
decorate people with green (slips, that is) and not necessarily for St.
Patty 's either. Actually the only thing burning a candle at both ends
does is use it up faster . So, with tests over, and a profound sense of
personal ignorance, I am snuffing out my candle. When that roll is
called up yonder, most of us would still like to be here to answer "Yo!"

know the full scoop, but I do know the Seniors are trying to get unscrambled in time to have an election. I would like to suggest that
should it turn out that there are twenty candidates and no contest , we
could elect a Might Have Queen instead of a May one. If this isn 't

is) and received two sour grapes. I understand Dewey is sending clippings off his mustache to use as watch charms. (Watches are all he
can charm ; as the last few elections proved. ) Actually, though , there
is a terrific amount of interest being stalked up in this thing, and it
looks like a big day on the Hill when it breaks. Till then C. C. will

CC.G.A. General Election
The M&G photographer records a snatch of the nightly rehearsals
annual production of the Bloomsbu rg Players to be presented April 1.
Yesterday's assembly saw the
Nominees for the offices of president and vice-president give
speeches on their behalf to the
student body.
Edwin Cunfer, in his address,
explained briefly to the audience
that he had set three main goals
for himself. The first was to become a good teacher like that of
Mr. William Horvath, a past president of the C.G.A. and also pne of
Ed' s high school teachers. The
second was to attend Bloomsburg
State Teachers College and the
third was to win, like Mr. Horvath, the respect and good will of
the college community and become C.G.A. president.
Mr. Cunfer went on to say that
experience has shown that promises and platforms are only a
being held*in preparation for the means
of getting votes and do not
represent the true worth of the
individual or party. If elected, he
said, he would promise the community two things: to represent
the students' interests in the College Council; to do his best in
everything he sets out to do.

Dr. North Wants Players Rehearse Awards Presented
To Students by
For "You Can't
Masters To Be
Granted by S.T.C* Take It With You" Walter S- Rygiel
"The upgrading of the teaching
profession could be expedited to a
considerable extent if the State
Teachers Colleges of Pennsylvania
were authorized , as is the case in
several other st ates , to gr ant the
Master Degree in Elementary Education," Dr. Thomas P. North,
dean of instruction , told representatives of the Southern Convention District of the Pennsylvania
State Ed u cation Association at a
conference held today at Hershey.
Dean North , who is chairman of
the state-wide commission on
Teacher Education and Professional Standards, gave the keynote
address on the subj ect of "Teacher
Education and Professional Standards."
Dr. North said, "The teachers
colleges of this state have on their
camp uses excellent l a b o r a t o r y
schools for elementary children
and many other facilities necessary for an adequate program of
graduate work for the Master 's
Degree in Elementary Education. "
During the course of his address, Dean North pointed out the
chief obj ective of a teachers college or department of education
should be the preparation of competent teachers. The program of
education must be balanced with
respect to general education , speciali zed fields , professional education , and opportunities for broadening activities and elect ive courses.
"The faculty should be comprised of Master Teachers, well prepared in subj ect matter and with
an up-to-date understand ing of the
needs of teachers ," Dr. North
pointed out.
In concluding, the Bloomsburg
dean stressed the point that teacher education , to be good, requires
constant alertness and hard work.
WAC Commissions
To Be Available
Qualified women college graduates and prospective graduates of
1952 interested in obtaining a
Regular Army commission in the
Women 's Army Corps must apply
before an April 15th deadline ,
P e n n s y l v a n i a Military District
Headquarters announced today.
Eligibility for commissions is
based on interviews, investigations, examinations , and a review
of college records in addition to
the following qualifications :
College graduate or prospective
graduate in her senior year; attained her 21st birthday but not
have passed her 27th birthday; be
a citizen of the United States; bo
unmarried ; be oC good moral character, and other requirements.
Applications should be submitted through the Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the
college of the applicant or should
be mailed to the WAC Staff Advisor, Headquarters Second Army,
Fort; George G. Meade, Maryland.
More than 100 women were selected last year and completed
their training at the WAC Training Center, Fort Lee, Vn. on February 1st.
For the past three weeks, rehearsals for the public play of the
year have been going on steadily..
This year the Bloomsburg Players
will present, "You Can 't Tak e It
With You," written by Moss Hart
and George S. Kaufman. The production was a Broadway success
in its early years and later was
adapted by the motion picture industry into an outstanding film.
Unnoticed by many students,
Miss Stolp, the director of the
Dramatic Club, and her chosen
group of thespians have been rehearsing continuously both day
and night for the spring production.
If y ou happened to overhear the
acti vity at one of th e rehearsals ,
you may have been dubious as to
whether it was a practice session
or a meeting of the U.N. For down
from the stage come the ravings
of Russian dialect , comedy of Italian aloofness, and chuckles of
N egro humor. All thi s, mingled
with amazing props such as fireworks and snakes, attest to the
fact that everyone can expect an
enj oyable and fine production on
April 1.
A complete cast has been chosen
and consists of: Penelope Sycamore—Jean Miller; Essie—Mary

Dr* Bernreuter
Advises Students
On Personality
As a part of the Annual Retail
Sales Conference , a special afternoon assembly featured Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, director of the
psychological clinic of Pennsylvania State College. Dr. Andruss
introduced Dr. Bernreuter as both
a teacher and a salesman ; his
topic, "On Developing Your Personality," brought out the relationship between t e a c h i n g and
selling and the importance of personality to both.
He observed that one of the r
greatest tasks of a teacher deals
with helping others to develop
their personalities. He defined personality as "the effect one person
has on those with whom he lives,"
and emphasized that "if you notice
a person and respond to him, that
person has a personality. Whether
it is a pleasant kind of response or
not depends upon the situation. "
. Dr, Bernreuter listed annoying
traits characteristic of teachers :
general attitude expressed toward
pupils, poor speech habits, general
classroom behavior, carelessness
about personal appearance, and
poor techniques of teaching. Each
of these has ah adverse effect on
the program of children In the
class,
"It pays to develop your own
personality as well as you can ,"
Dr. Bernreuter advised. To Improve a negative personality, ho
suggested * that the Individual do
all he can to eliminate superficial
defects and that he consult an
expert to help correct deep-rooted
defects,

Student Teachin g . . .
Student teaching h as its goo d points as well as its bad. Have
you ever serious ly thoug ht of it , an d come to a decision as to
which side of the fence it is classified in your books? Good versus
bad.
Many stu dents ask wh y. Why even have student teaching ?
Their argument seems to hinge on the idea that it will either "ma k e
or break " the student teacher. This may b e true in some" aspects,
but on the whole it hel ps develop what we hope will be the best
teachers produced in this section of the state. Far too many persons are un der the impression that student teaching is a resting
period. A sing le glance at one of these student teachers will disprove t h is t h eory comp l ete ly. Most of the time , t h ey are l a d ene d
down with books, searching fhe library shelves for additional
materia l , an d working themselves into a frenzy over lesson plans.
However , stu dent teachers develop an entirel y new out l oo k
an d attitude toward their work when they run into the everyday
problems of teaching. All the little teaching techniques they
picked up during their own college daze come into use. A more
pro fessional style and attitude emerges as the teaching advances.
The student teacher can obtain that air of confidence so necessary
on the first day of real teaching, for if this surety and confidence
is lacking, t h e pup ils will notice it immediatel y an d cap ita lize on
your weaknesses.
If the teacher doesn ' t gui de the class , the students will take
over t h e reins an d h avoc wi ll rei gn. Throug h student teaching,
you l earn to contro l , teac h , an d fascinate the men and women of
tomorrow. Ev eryone knows that a course can be one extreme or
anot her— dull or interesting. If cooperation means graduation , a
plan must be worked out between the teacher and student. That
is , i f you h ave a h ar d wor k ing cl ass , be fair and friend l y. A
co-operative class can be marked down in the dream section while
the non co-operative would fall under the nightmare category.
Have you any i d ea w h at t h ose "little monsters " or chat "mo b", as
some disgusted students are bound to say, can do to a poor frusj
trated student teacher?
Throug h student teaching you can find out what kind of a
teacher you will be, h ow y our p u p ils react to your methods, and
learn all the "tricks of the trade ". You may be puzzled as to that
last comment, yes , there are tricks in teaching. By the do or die
method which is student teaching , we here at Bloomsburg can
achieve our goal, that is , to produce the best teachers, so t h at t he y
in turn may produce a group of people with a new and brighter
(A. G.)
outlook on life , as well as a well-rounded education.
Dear Diar y . . .
"March 25, 1952
Today was the date of the C.G.A. elections here on the campus of B.S.T.C. Along about eleven o ' clock this morn ing, I made
my way to the election booth to cast my most important ballot.
There sat the entire election board , looking quite efficient and
supposedly watching to see that all was fair. From a distance ,
things looked quite the same as usual. But just as I approached ,
a gentle hand grasped my arm and pulled me aside. Looking me
strai ght in the eye, the owner of the aforementioned gentle hand
said in a voice that I knew very well meant business , I j ust want
to remind you that
•. . . is going to be elected today.
Don 't make any mistakes. Understand/ '
"Of course , I understood. I knew all too well that it wouldn ' t
be possible for me to make a mistake in marking the ballot that
someone handed me. How could anyone make a mistake with a
thousand eyes watching to see that I didn ' t? Anyway, it wouldn ' t
do me any good if I did manage to put an "X" beside the name I ,
myself, had chosen. While the votes were in the process of being
counted, my unfortunate little ballot would have a little candidacy
of its own; namel y, running for the office of waste basket filler.
Need I tell you that fhe election would be quite unanimous?
"However , I am very thankful that , at least, I can still pretend
I am voting. It gives me the feeling that one day out of a year I
am entitled to personal instructions pertaining to how I should
conduct what was once my own private affair. And , if someday
they should decide to just mark the ballot for me , I don 't suppose
I can complain, They will be merely saving me some precious
time that I can devote to doing something else those "elected"
persons have cooked up. "
Thank goodness none of you will be making such an en try
in your diaries next March 25, In America secret ballots are part
of our heritage ,
Voting is not a duty which you are required to perform ; it is
a rig ht which you are entitled to exercise as you see fit, The way

The College Hour
If you happen to hear familiar voices over the local radio stations
• in the weeks to come, don't be alarmed. B.S.T.C. has begun a series of
radio broadcasts that will take the classroom to the people. Since we
will someday guide the younger generation during their most valuable
years, it is only natural that parents should be concerned about the
activities here at Bloomsburg. Therefore, they should be given the
opportunity to know what the faculty and students are doing. By broadcasting over the radio , Dean Hoch and Miss Stolp believe they will
contact many parents who can 't follow college activities otherwise.
Our athletic programs, the annual sales conference, the basketball
tournament , and the everyday contacts our students have with the
public can and do create good will with parents and promising teachers.
Although some of our activities are to establish an interest in the college
and teaching profession , they also aid in giving the community a better
understanding of our education here at college. Our dean of collegecommunity relationships , Mr. Hoch, has been the mainstay of our college
activities. To Mr. Hoch and Miss Stolp, our new faculty member , the I
Maroon and Gold give credit for this new method of achieving the goal 1
of bet ter relations.
The new method is the "College Hour ", a weekly broadcast featuring students from B.S.T.C. under the supervision of Miss Stolp, the
faculty advisor. The "College Hour " is a half-hour weekly broadcast
designed to acquaint the radio audience with the classroom work and
activities at B.S.T.C.
The first of the series of broadcasts was given on March 4, 1952.
The "College Hour " will be presented over both the local radio stations ,
WCNR and WHLM on alternate weeks. Beginning with the broadcast
on March 4, the program on WCNR will be heard every other Tuesday,
from 2:30 to 3:00 P.M. The day and t ime of broadcast over WHLM has
not been decided upon as of the time this article was written.
The first broadcast over WCNR featured some of B.S.T.C.'s most
talented musicians, most of whom we have heard in Chapel. The
program was as follows :
'Dick Powell, senior from Pottstown, sang Hammerstein and Wilkinson 's, "Because of You."
John Bogdan , a j unior from Philadelphia , played Robert Schumann's
"Traumerei" on the violin.
Mary Ann Fink , a sophomore from Berwick, sang Rudolf Friml's
"Some Day."
Mary Grace Aimers played Schonberg, Coburn , and Rose's "Whispering" on the organ.
Pavil Franks, freshman, from Girardville read Kipling, and sang
"On the Road to Mandalay."
Mary Joan Williams, a sophomore from Trucksville, played Claude
Debussy 's "Clair de Lune" on the piano.
Mary Lou Todd, a j unior from Bloomsburg, sang "My Hero" from
the "Chocolate Soldier" by Oscar Strauss.
Thomas Anthony, senior from Shamokin, sang Henry Blossom and
Victor Herbert's "Thine Alone."
Mary Joan Williams accompanied Dick Powell , Mary Ann Fink ,
and Tom Anthony. Mary Grace Aimers accompanied John Bogdan , and
Myra, Albertson , sophomore, from Dewart , accompanied Paul Franks.
Karol Ruppel was the student announcer for the program.
The second program planned to be presented over WHLM is the
old time story, a favorite of both young and old , "The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow," by Washington Irving. The story will be dramatized here at
B.S.T.C. and put on a tape recording, so it will be ready when WHLM
wishes to broadcast. The drama is under the student direction of Laura
Philo. Members of the cast are : Joanne Cuff, Teresa Guinard , Karol
Ruppel, Gerald Houseknecht, Lee Denner, Alex Kubic, Al Chiscon, and
Frank Vacante. Mary Grace Aimers will play the musical bridges on
the organ.
Other programs to be presented are being planned and will be
announced as soon as the schedule is completed. These programs furnish
our students with an opportunity to gain experience and help the standing of our college. No activity can be a complete success without the
cooperation of the faculty and student body, so it is the duty of every
student to help these radio broadcasts. Tell your friends and parents
about these broadcasts, so they can enjoy college talent at its best.
A special word of appreciation should be given to Miss Stolp for her
devoted attention and interest in these programs. As faculty adviser,
Miss Stolp can give the students experienced leadership. For the short
time Miss Stolp has been with us, she has certainly proven her interest
in our college. It proves that our faculty is sincere in giving us opportunities to broaden our education.
Tins week I noticed many outfits which were quite clever , in my
estimation. Much to my amazement , many of the outfits had a
touch of red.
One of these outfits is worn by
Nellie Swartz. It has a red woolj ersey three-quarter length sleeved blouse with two V-shaped overlapping designs. Nellie trims the
peter pan collar by adding a gold
medallion. Now for her skirt . . .
It is a dark plaid of navy, rust ,
red , green , and purple. I might
also add that it has those helpful
m u s h r o o m p l e a t s which hide
*
wrinkles.
For another bright shade of red ,
we turn to Janice Pugh in a red
cotton blouse with full three-quarter length sleeves ending in a tiny
cuff. A peter pan collar, and five
white pearl buttons are a few of
the other noticeable characteristics. Janice tops off a salt and
pepper grey full skirt with approximately 10 unpressed pleats
with a wide black leather belt
with double buckles in the front .
Sound refreshing ?
Now we turn to Jeanne Skeeba
in navy, from head to toe. Jeanne
wears a navy cotton jersey blouse
with a round rolled sweater collar
and short sleeves. I have been informed that there is a detachable
white linen peter pan collar which
is easy to add by just buttoning it
on. Scatter three gold pins of
heart - and-arrow s t y l e on t h e
blouse. A navy skirt with 9 sets
of double pleats is topped with a
natural colored bel t with a gold
medallion in the front and the
buckle in back. A pair of white
ski socks with a figure in blue
w e a r i n g red skiis c o m p l e t e
Jeanne's outfit. Re'ally cute!
Marg Shultz always looks fine
in any of her sport clothes. One
of my favorites is a straight navy
skirt which zips up the back and

with a luscious navy, red, and
white elbow-length sweater. We
might claim navy as the background and then add a thick red
stripe in a banner position followed by another in white. A touch of
white is also repeated around the
sleeve cuffs and the waist. While
we're still looking at the same
person , I think the hair-style
should be mentioned. This is, in
my estimation , one of the most
flattering on campus. Of course,
any of you that know Marg real
well, will know to whom she attributes this striking style. It
must be nice!

Th us far , th e high school basketball tournament has been one of
the most exciting fracases for years, as the big event opened with a
bang-up card of thrilling battles, and has continued right through during
the week' s tilts . Also in the fa vorable department is the fact that
att endance is higher so far this year than last , and with plenty of action
to come, the crowds will probably exceed last year 's grinding of the
turnstiles.
Last week we took a brief look at the National League, a n d this
week with4 the major league exhibitions in full swing, we will now give
a quick preview of the American League.
CLEVELAND INDIANS — The Indi ans look like the team to beat in
the American League this year. Lemon is almost sure to regain his
brilliant form of the 1950 season and the few years before that. This
plus equally good pitching from Garcia , and possibly the aging Bobby
Feller who is far from washed up, should make the Indians first place
bound.
NEW YORK YANKEES — some of the Yankee pitchers have seen their
better days and will wish they were five years younger come the middle
of hot months this year. This fa ctor plus the spirit and good playing
th at DiMaggio instilled in the club before he retired , should keep the
Yanks from winning another title .
BOSTON REDSOX — they have been picked and picked again , but not
too many fans will have faith in this team this season. They haven 't
aided their cause a great deal by any remarkable change in personnel ,
so they, too , can look to the f utur e for a pennant.
DETROIT TIGERS — this is a club that can end up in the first division
or in the tail-end of the second division if they don't watch their steps.
Their heyday of stars has long since passed, but those few good ball
players still around Briggs Stadium may make or break the club—their
supply of rookies won't.
ST. LOUIS BROWNS — watch the Browns move this year. They have
found the basement a very damp spot in the past few years, and now
behind some good rookies and Bill Veeck's heavy purse, they will climb
out of the doldrums arid scare a few teams before October rolls around.
CHICAGO WHITESOX — they looked their best in last year 's sea son
and they don't figure to repeat with such spotty talent this year. The
Sox have a good hitting club and also dependable fielding, but their
pitching is erratic, and will crack up just as it did last year. They are
good for a four th or fifth spot , depending on the Browns and Tigers
power.
PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS—the A's will have a struggle all season
keeping out of the basement, and they are lucky that Washington is in
the league or that is exactly where they will end up.
WASHINGTON SENATORS — about the only thing the Senator f ans
will have to cheer this year is the campaign speeches in their fair city.
The Sens look like one of the worst, if not the poorest club in- either
league. If they are lucky and get a few breaks which doesn't seem
likely, they may end up in seventh place. But as it looks now, Griffith
Stadium will house the cellar-kings of the American League.
Baseball S ide lights ? ? ?
This week the picture is a little different in the diamond situation.
The snow is gone and March winds are howling their way over the land,
but we still have to peek into Ben Franklin gym to follow the activities
of the 1952 Spring edition of Bob Redman's baseball team.
'Due to this cramped position we can not see the whole team work
out in one night . Coach Redman casi s his critical eye on the outfield
candidates on Monday and Wednesday and then on the infield aspirants
on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons while,, mound staff works every
day. Friday is a day of option for everyone and they may come out or
not as they see fit. Even handicapped by the space situation , Redman
carries on many activities and keeps all of the attending men busy for
the one hour period that they work out.
A typical workout would run something like this: A short limberingup period , consisting of many exercises used to develop leg, back, and
arm muscles. This "relaxing" is led by Catcher George Lambrinos and
lasts for about 5 minutes. Coach Redman then disperses the men to
different locations in the gym to work at various things. Six pitchers
and three catchers loosen up and throw and the remainder of the staff
j ump rope, squeeze rubber balls, swing bats or toss medicine balls. The
outfield or infield men , whoever is there , throw "grounders " or practice
batting stances or they work on defensive technique such as running
clown a picked-off runner. Each activity is limited in its time so that
all the members of the squad got in some work at the main things
concerned with these inside practices.
Mr. Redman is aided in this jo b by Head Manager Bill Stoutenburgh
of Hatboro and Merlin Jones , football guard from Wilkes-Barre. These
men are in charge of all equipment and must see that buttin g boxes and
plates are marked and the most important thin g is to see that anything
breakable ov chippable is covered by mats so there won't be any damage
done by the wild throws of the winter cramped arms, When the team
moves outside these same men must convert into watchdogs and retrievers as they must keep an eye on the foul balls and also on tho
home run balls. (Ca n 't you see Stoutie as a dog, CC?)
The Huskies dropped Kings College early last week, quickly filled
the gap by scheduling Harper College of Endicott , New York. This
keeps the season total of games to 16.

Summary of Early Games
Invitational Basketball Tournament
Branch Twp. 52 — Locust 50
Locust Township High Buffaloes
started slow and ended in the
same manner, as they dropped a
close decision to Branch Township,
lo ca t ed at Llewellyn , near Pottsvill e, 52-50.
The Branch boys racked up nine
points before the Buffaloes found
the range. Then Johnny Hughes '
lads started hitting and gained the
lead shortly after the third session
began. Their in ability to control
th e boards in the last period proved their downf all as the Branch
cagers made a belated rally.
The Branch attack was led by
House and Buber with 20 and 15
points respectively, although it
was Al Heiser, a substitute guard
who dropped in the winning goal.
Fleming led the Buffaloes in scoring with 13 points and received
valuable aid from Petuskey with
11 and P. Lindemuth with 10.
Branch Twp. 16 11 11 14—52
Locust Twp.

Rock Glen 43, Huntingdon MiUs 41
A small but speedy Rock Glen
team took a five point first quarter lead and managed to hold it
throughout most of the remainder
of the game as they downed a
much smaller Huntington Mills
foe.
A freeze in the waning minutes
of the game broke up a determined rally by the Hunters, and assured victory to Rock Glen. The
keynote in their win, however, was
their ability to effectively throttle
Francis Gearhart. the big gun in
the Hunters attack. Gearhart was
high scorer for the game, but he
was able to garner only eight of
his sixteen ooints from the field.
The Rock Glen attack was pretty
well balanced with Pekala 's 12
points being tops.

Butler Twp. 77 — Dallas Twp. 51
Butler Twp., led by big- Ronnie
Bush, an All-Tournament selection
last year, compiled an immense
firs t half lead and proceeded to
coast the rest of the way as they
outclassed Dallas Twp., 77-51.
Most of Butler Twp. 's scoring in
the firs t half was in close as they
utilized a fast-breaking offense
that featured good passing and
good shooting. In the meantime
an all-court press by the victors
befuddled the Dallas passers, and
the result was an ineffective offense which produced only 21
points by half-time—27 points less
than Butler.
The second half was evenly
matched with the Butler reserves
holding their own against a rej uvenated Red and White quintet.
Ronnie Bush emerged high scorer
with 18 points and teamed up with
E. Beecroft, who tallied 12, to
lead the Butler attack. Harris
wit h 17 and Kozick with 16 wer e
high for the losers.
Butler Twp. 22 26 15 14—77

Dallas Twp.
Tremont 40 — Westmoreland 38
The final erame of the evening
oitted a well-balanced Westmoreland team against a surprisinsly
strong Tremont five led by Willie
Jones , a high scoring center. The
result was a nip-and j tuck affair
throughout with the excellent
shooting of Jones proving to be
the decidi ng factor, as Tremont
prevailed 40-38.
Neither team enioyed a sizeable
lead at any time during the fray,
and the score at the end of 32
minutes was as close as it could
be—38-38—a tie ball game. Both
teams went scoreless in the first
extra-period, and the second extra-perisd was nearing a close
when Jones sank a j ump shot from
the foul line to decide the issue.

The old Gym has blossomed out with more banners and signs than
a burlesque show. Those signs are a healthy sign ; shows interest and
such. Some colleges consider themselves doing well when 507r of the

The other side of it . . .
Yores trooly probed around and found out a coupla things on this
fire-tower fraternizing deal of recent interest. Seems that no one is
trying to buck human nature (as if such a thing is possible) , it's just
the location of the amorous pursuits which causes the problem. So if
we can just hold off till a kissin ' policy is arrived at , this thing will
iron itself out yet, (Note to E.T.D. : Don 't tear your hair; I can write

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder . . .
With mid-semester tests wreaking havoc among the burners-of-thecandle-at-both-ends, it becomes obvious that the instructors also can
decorate people with green (slips, that is) and not necessarily for St.
Patty 's either. Actually the only thing burning a candle at both ends
does is use it up faster . So, with tests over, and a profound sense of
personal ignorance, I am snuffing out my candle. When that roll is
called up yonder, most of us would still like to be here to answer "Yo!"

should it turn out that there are twenty candidates and no contest , we
could elect a Might Have Queen instead of a May one. If this isn 't

can charm ; as the last few elections proved. ) Actually, though , there
is a terrific amount of interest being stalked up in this thing, and it
looks like a big day on the Hill when it breaks. Till then C. C. will
