Meeting Is Held
By Senior Class
To Pick Memorial
The Senior class held a meeting
the morning of March 20, beginning at 9 A.M. The secretary of
the class read the minutes of the
previous meeting, reviewing the
previous work of the class.
The first hour was concerned
mainly with selecting a class
memorial. Leonard Galiley, chairman of the committee, reported
on the work of that group, giving
details concerned with each of the
memorials suggested at the last
class meeting.
The class had voted three hundred dollars with which to give a
class memorial. Among suggestions made were : a scholarship,
a bronze dog, stage curtains, a
college lodge, and money for the
maintenance of soccer. Most of
the suggestions, Galiley stated,
were either impossible or hampered by the small amount of money
available.
Stage curtains would cost well
over a thousand dollars; soccer expenses would be far beyond the
money allotted by the class. A
college lodge would necessitate
putting the 1952 money into the
general fund already established
for that purpose.
As for the bronze dog, bronze is
extremely scarce now, and the
committee was unable to obtain

The Gay Young Blades
The cold winter months have come and gone; now is the time a
young fella 's thoughts turn seriously to what he has boon thinking
about, all winter long. Yes, sir, soon the girls will begin wearin ' those
teasjn ' ol'f-the-shoulder jobs, and the guys will wear T-shirts to show
off their biceps ; soon there may bo a kind of grassy velvet carpet across
the campus. That's right , I said "maybe." Why, it was j ust the other
day that I saw several students hop over a fence and tramp on that
ground whore I'd like to sec some grass growln '.
In addition to those little white fences (which , by the way, belong
with little cottages and not with college campuses) there should bo a
sign saying, "Please do not kiJl the gay young blades." I wonder if
that would make any difference.
The students of B.S.T.C., eager beavers that they are, must rush to
class. Since they wait until classtime before leaving the Old Gym ,
they 've simply got to take a short cut. Why, they must save at least
half a minute by j umping those little white rails instead of walking all
the way around on the pavement !
Half a minute might make the difference between an ordinarylooking campus and n campus that is sometimes special, The men
employed to take care of the campus have done tholr share; instructors
have spent hours choosing trees and plants to make the campus more
beautiful; why can't wo help ? All it takes is half a minute from all of
us — half a minute to walk around the sidewalks, Why not help our
"gay young blades" to bo tho gayest nnd the greenest we've over seen

proved their wort h to the threetime champions . The infield will
see Joe Collins playing first base
again , the perennial Yankee snro
spot, Gil McDougald at second
base, Scooter Rizzuto at. shortstop,
and rookie Bob Carey at third
base. Yogi Berra will again be the
work horse behind the plate. Starting pitchers are Vic Raschi . Ed
Lopat , Tom Morgan . Allie Reynolds, Jim MacDonald , and a new
requisition from the St. Louis
Browns. There are also a few good
rookie pitchers playing with the
team , including Ed Miller up from
Buffalo. If several of the new men
come through in typical Yankee
style, there is no reason why
Casey Stengel cannot once again
bring the pennant to New Bronx.
The C l e v e l a n d I n d i a n s with
their superior pitching staff of
Bobby Feller, Mike Garcia , Early
Wynn , and Bobby Lemon will
again bo a contender. If their outfield can be strengthened by the
addition of a long ball hitter to
support Larry Doby and Dale
Mitchell. Then , together, with the
slugging of Luke Easter and Al
Rosen together with tho steady
play of Bobby Avila could prove
trouble to the Bronx Bombers.
The league standing at the end
of September should look somcthing like this:
New York
Cleveland
Chicago
Detroit
Boston

B.S.T.C. students are sighing this
week as they undergo their Instructors test at the college pool.
Giving the tests every day from
3:00 to 5:15 is Mr. Bud Barley,
and his assistant, Mr. Bob Spade,
of the American Red Cross. The
period starts every day with two
of the students teaching a water
game to the group ; this is to give
the students experience in teaching water sports. After the water
games, the students swim many
laps of the pool.
The Instructors course consists
of studies .of various test books
and many lectures. If each student
completes his test successfully he
will be presented with a Red Cross
Instructors Badge.

Can you run ? Can you jump ?
Can you push weights tremendous
distances ? If you can answer the
above questions in the affirmative,
then head for Mr. Shelly's Centennial Gym office on the double. He
needs you !
The track and fiel d team practices are now in progress, and it's
with some misgivings that Mr.
Shelly looks into the coming cinder season. A green , inexperienced
group, with only a sprinkling of
veterans, is now working out in
the gym and, when the weather
permits, out on the Navy Hall
cinders. Back from last year's
team we see fleet-footed Joe Feiffer , Mt. Carmel middle-distance
man , Russ Verhousky, versatile
Coaldale Athlete who broadjumps
and highjumps, and Jerry Kopec,
Forty-Fort dash man.
Shelly faces his biggest loss in
the pole vault , where graduation
removed the State Teachers record-holder, F r a n k Womer , of
Pottsville. Womer's first place
points were almost authentic as
he won over most state competition. Other key members of last
year's team are gone, or are varying their interests and are turning
to baseball. Tommy Goodwin , tow
headed dash man , Dave "Dumper "
Evans, Reading shotput artist , and
Bill Radzwich , West Hazleton's
cinder flash , are all on the campus
but have not reported for the running sport. Charlie Brennan and
Jack Schaar, distance men, are
still undecided as to what action
they will . take. In place of the
missing Tom Spack we find West
Pittston's John Scrimgeur taking
over the javelin ; he may also enter
some other events.
It's impossible to teJ ] what the
outcoming freshmen have to offer ,
as there have been no time trials,
but it must be pointed out that the
burden of the season will fall
mostly on their shoulders.
The Huskies' season schedule is
again loaded with some of the best
in the state. They will meet Shippensburg, Lock Haven , and West
Chester, who all boast top rank
teams. They are also entered in
the famous Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the State Teachers
meet.

The Price is Right . . .
Now and then there comes a semi-formal dance which really has a
selling point. Such a one is the Day-Dorm Dance to be held on the 28th.
The selling poin t is the price—it's free. Free! Free! (This not only
means I appreciate the idea , but it also increases my word count .) What
a lot of us don 't realize (when we stop to; if we do) is that our Day

The Sons of the Sackbirri . . .
Careful investig ation over a long period of time (five and a half
semesters ) has led to the conclusion that the maj or extra-curricular
acti vity is not playing Hessian , or dating, or even . . . eating. It' s sacking! This is sometimes Called the "rest cure." It consists of spending
all your waking hours sleeping (a difficult trick. ) Some students are
maj oring in it and have already completed a course in Sack III. One of
the maj or exponents of this fine skill (He will soon be available as an
instr uctor) is George "Rip Van Winkle " Kallenba ch. George even sleeps
through Sunday dinners. Many of his close companions thought he was
suffering from an attack of Trypanosoma gambiense (sleeping sickness

By the time this conglomeration is available to my avid ( ?) fans
(or critics) there will only be ten days until Easter Vacation. This
means the numerous gals will be picking a new hunk of millinery and
numerous guys will be wondering where to get the jack to take out the
girl at home who is never mentioned to the girl at school. Spring should
be in the air someplace by tha't time and everyone should be planning on
going to the Junior Prom on April 25. After vacation there will be only
28 days of classes left for everyone who doesn't have Saturday classes.

Elections in Retrospect . . .
. Since all the elections will be over by the time you all read this ,
what I have to say will carry as much weight as Congressional advice
to Harry S. The primary election returns showed a decrease from last
year with 739r of the students voting; there should be an increase for
the general election. (This thing of writing while looking backwards is
difficult.) The faculty interest in the primary was fair with twenty-one
out of forty-eigh t voting. The President of the C.G.A. will be an accomplished fact by this time ; I hope no one became confused by all the
publi city and stuff. Whoever is President next year should be glad we
have a system where the whole group follows the will of the maj ority .

Last week was the occasion for another Athletic banquet for the

concerned with sports. I didn 't count the number of banquets this makes
for our footballers , but I know that it was a lot and they deserved 'em.
(Yes Harold , th e basketball men definitely merited the vitamins also.)
One thing sure, unless something miraculous happens , the schedule next
year plus the fact that point averages took out of our backfield will
make victory banquets a lot harder to come by.

Humble Apology . . .
Abject
An
To Jimmy Johnson , that Mexican Irishman from Sweden , who is
head of the Benton B-Bar-B Boys, for using his favorite , origi nal , and
perhaps copyrighted expression , "Rid e hard , and shoot straight!" I
really don't wart to get a reputation for being a plagarist. (Mainly
'cause I'm not sure what it means. )
( Contin ued from page 2)
This sit uation could very easily
be corrected and while it would
involve some expense, the results
would more than offset this expenditure. With the great number
of students attending classes in
this building over a span of years,
the expense would be exceedingly
small in comparison with the- increase in learning. The class rooms
should be interchanged.
The equipmen t and classroom
facilities of the chemistry laboratory should be moved to the fourth
floor of the building ; likewise the
biological d e p a r t m e n t and its
equipment should be moved to the
third floor , leaving the two bottom
floors free for the classes of art ,
music , litera t ure , and geography.
Foul air and odors would seldom
descend to their quarters but could
be very easily dispersed into the
upper air. Dense clouds of smoky
haze would not fill these rooms on
the lower floors and consequently
the students could concentrate on
their instructor and on what he is
saying without outside interference .
A re-arrangement of this sort
could very easily be accomplished
during a summer recess. While
this would a ff ect the summer sessions in these two science departments , this would not seriously
handicap the school or the students. Instruction could , of course,
be conducted in some other building during this period .
The problem as it is found presently offers no alternative but to
make this adj ustment in class
room arrangement. With the high
cost of building prevailing today,
(he constr uction of another building to house these fine arts is out
of the question. But in order to
help students give their f ull attention to the fine arts field , they
should be given every available
opportunity by the college. Removing the interferences from the
science departments would be a
maj or step in this direction .
It's All Yours . ? .

The C. G. A. has many crit ics

By Senior Class
To Pick Memorial
The Senior class held a meeting
the morning of March 20, beginning at 9 A.M. The secretary of
the class read the minutes of the
previous meeting, reviewing the
previous work of the class.
The first hour was concerned
mainly with selecting a class
memorial. Leonard Galiley, chairman of the committee, reported
on the work of that group, giving
details concerned with each of the
memorials suggested at the last
class meeting.
The class had voted three hundred dollars with which to give a
class memorial. Among suggestions made were : a scholarship,
a bronze dog, stage curtains, a
college lodge, and money for the
maintenance of soccer. Most of
the suggestions, Galiley stated,
were either impossible or hampered by the small amount of money
available.
Stage curtains would cost well
over a thousand dollars; soccer expenses would be far beyond the
money allotted by the class. A
college lodge would necessitate
putting the 1952 money into the
general fund already established
for that purpose.
As for the bronze dog, bronze is
extremely scarce now, and the
committee was unable to obtain

operation at the present time. A
full report will be presented in the
next College Council meeting.
There were four panel discussions in all and every one was attended by some member of the
Bloomsburg delegation. Pat Boyle
was a member of Panel C on how
student government can take
steps in adequate counselling of
Freshmen by other students. She
presented some facts about the
methods used hero on our campus
such as the "Big Sister " program
Cor Fvoshmon girls.
Tho conference was well planned and provided many opportunities for students to exchange
ideas in informal get-togethers.
Some of the social funct ions included a trip 1o the DuPont Gardons am) rinnco in the evening of
March 7.
Tho conference speaker was Dr.
Roscol L. West , President of the

The Gay Young Blades
The cold winter months have come and gone; now is the time a
young fella 's thoughts turn seriously to what he has boon thinking
about, all winter long. Yes, sir, soon the girls will begin wearin ' those
teasjn ' ol'f-the-shoulder jobs, and the guys will wear T-shirts to show
off their biceps ; soon there may bo a kind of grassy velvet carpet across
the campus. That's right , I said "maybe." Why, it was j ust the other
day that I saw several students hop over a fence and tramp on that
ground whore I'd like to sec some grass growln '.
In addition to those little white fences (which , by the way, belong
with little cottages and not with college campuses) there should bo a
sign saying, "Please do not kiJl the gay young blades." I wonder if
that would make any difference.
The students of B.S.T.C., eager beavers that they are, must rush to
class. Since they wait until classtime before leaving the Old Gym ,
they 've simply got to take a short cut. Why, they must save at least
half a minute by j umping those little white rails instead of walking all
the way around on the pavement !
Half a minute might make the difference between an ordinarylooking campus and n campus that is sometimes special, The men
employed to take care of the campus have done tholr share; instructors
have spent hours choosing trees and plants to make the campus more
beautiful; why can't wo help ? All it takes is half a minute from all of
us — half a minute to walk around the sidewalks, Why not help our
"gay young blades" to bo tho gayest nnd the greenest we've over seen

The American League pennant
race again looks like a tight battle
between the New York Yankees
and the Cleveland Indians . Other
teams that could challenge the
fa vorites are the Chicago White
Sox, Boston IJed Sox, and the Detroit Tigers. As usual the perennial tail-enders will be the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Athletics , and St. Louis Browns.
The Yankees have a good outfield , fair infield , good pitching and
excellent catching. Tho oui fielders
include Micky Mantle, Hank Bauer,
Jacky Jensen , Gene Woodling, Bob
Cero, and possibly Archy Wilson.
All are gopd hitters who have
proved their wort h to the threetime champions . The infield will
see Joe Collins playing first base
again , the perennial Yankee snro
spot, Gil McDougald at second
base, Scooter Rizzuto at. shortstop,
and rookie Bob Carey at third
base. Yogi Berra will again be the
work horse behind the plate. Starting pitchers are Vic Raschi . Ed
Lopat , Tom Morgan . Allie Reynolds, Jim MacDonald , and a new
requisition from the St. Louis
Browns. There are also a few good
rookie pitchers playing with the
team , including Ed Miller up from
Buffalo. If several of the new men
come through in typical Yankee
style, there is no reason why
Casey Stengel cannot once again
bring the pennant to New Bronx.
The C l e v e l a n d I n d i a n s with
their superior pitching staff of
Bobby Feller, Mike Garcia , Early
Wynn , and Bobby Lemon will
again bo a contender. If their outfield can be strengthened by the
addition of a long ball hitter to
support Larry Doby and Dale
Mitchell. Then , together, with the
slugging of Luke Easter and Al
Rosen together with tho steady
play of Bobby Avila could prove
trouble to the Bronx Bombers.
The league standing at the end
of September should look somcthing like this:

Swimming, swimming, and more

B.S.T.C. students are sighing this
week as they undergo their Instructors test at the college pool.
Giving the tests every day from
3:00 to 5:15 is Mr. Bud Barley,
and his assistant, Mr. Bob Spade,
of the American Red Cross. The
period starts every day with two
of the students teaching a water
game to the group ; this is to give
the students experience in teaching water sports. After the water
games, the students swim many
laps of the pool.
The Instructors course consists
of studies .of various test books
and many lectures. If each student
completes his test successfully he
will be presented with a Red Cross
Instructors Badge.

Can you run ? Can you jump ?
Can you push weights tremendous
distances ? If you can answer the
above questions in the affirmative,
then head for Mr. Shelly's Centennial Gym office on the double. He
needs you !
The track and fiel d team practices are now in progress, and it's
with some misgivings that Mr.
Shelly looks into the coming cinder season. A green , inexperienced
group, with only a sprinkling of
veterans, is now working out in
the gym and, when the weather
permits, out on the Navy Hall
cinders. Back from last year's
team we see fleet-footed Joe Feiffer , Mt. Carmel middle-distance
man , Russ Verhousky, versatile
Coaldale Athlete who broadjumps
and highjumps, and Jerry Kopec,
Forty-Fort dash man.
Shelly faces his biggest loss in
the pole vault , where graduation
removed the State Teachers record-holder, F r a n k Womer , of
Pottsville. Womer's first place
points were almost authentic as
he won over most state competition. Other key members of last
year's team are gone, or are varying their interests and are turning
to baseball. Tommy Goodwin , tow
headed dash man , Dave "Dumper "
Evans, Reading shotput artist , and
Bill Radzwich , West Hazleton's
cinder flash , are all on the campus
but have not reported for the running sport. Charlie Brennan and
Jack Schaar, distance men, are
still undecided as to what action
they will . take. In place of the
missing Tom Spack we find West
Pittston's John Scrimgeur taking
over the javelin ; he may also enter
some other events.
It's impossible to teJ ] what the
outcoming freshmen have to offer ,
as there have been no time trials,
but it must be pointed out that the
burden of the season will fall
mostly on their shoulders.
The Huskies' season schedule is
again loaded with some of the best
in the state. They will meet Shippensburg, Lock Haven , and West
Chester, who all boast top rank
teams. They are also entered in
the famous Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the State Teachers
meet.

The Price is Right . . .
Now and then there comes a semi-formal dance which really has a
selling point. Such a one is the Day-Dorm Dance to be held on the 28th.
The selling poin t is the price—it's free. Free! Free! (This not only
means I appreciate the idea , but it also increases my word count .) What
a lot of us don 't realize (when we stop to; if we do) is that our Day
Men 's and Dor m Men 's Association are really active and powerful

The Sons of the Sackbirri . . .
Careful investig ation over a long period of time (five and a half
semesters ) has led to the conclusion that the maj or extra-curricular
acti vity is not playing Hessian , or dating, or even . . . eating. It' s sacking! This is sometimes Called the "rest cure." It consists of spending
all your waking hours sleeping (a difficult trick. ) Some students are
maj oring in it and have already completed a course in Sack III. One of
the maj or exponents of this fine skill (He will soon be available as an
instr uctor) is George "Rip Van Winkle " Kallenba ch. George even sleeps
through Sunday dinners. Many of his close companions thought he was
suffering from an attack of Trypanosoma gambiense (sleeping sickness
to you , Business, Elementary and Physical Scien ce maj ors.) At any rate ,

My How the Time Flys By . . .
By the time this conglomeration is available to my avid ( ?) fans
(or critics) there will only be ten days until Easter Vacation. This
means the numerous gals will be picking a new hunk of millinery and
numerous guys will be wondering where to get the jack to take out the
girl at home who is never mentioned to the girl at school. Spring should
be in the air someplace by tha't time and everyone should be planning on
going to the Junior Prom on April 25. After vacation there will be only
28 days of classes left for everyone who doesn't have Saturday classes.

Elections in Retrospect . . .
. Since all the elections will be over by the time you all read this ,
what I have to say will carry as much weight as Congressional advice
to Harry S. The primary election returns showed a decrease from last
year with 739r of the students voting; there should be an increase for
the general election. (This thing of writing while looking backwards is
difficult.) The faculty interest in the primary was fair with twenty-one
out of forty-eigh t voting. The President of the C.G.A. will be an accomplished fact by this time ; I hope no one became confused by all the
publi city and stuff. Whoever is President next year should be glad we
have a system where the whole group follows the will of the maj ority .

A Meal lor Musclemen . . .
Last week was the occasion for another Athletic banquet for the
boys from the College, downtown , and who knows where all , who are
concerned with sports. I didn 't count the number of banquets this makes
for our footballers , but I know that it was a lot and they deserved 'em.
(Yes Harold , th e basketball men definitely merited the vitamins also.)
One thing sure, unless something miraculous happens , the schedule next
year plus the fact that point averages took out of our backfield will
make victory banquets a lot harder to come by.

Humble Apology . . .
Abject
An
To Jimmy Johnson , that Mexican Irishman from Sweden , who is
head of the Benton B-Bar-B Boys, for using his favorite , origi nal , and
perhaps copyrighted expression , "Rid e hard , and shoot straight!" I
really don't wart to get a reputation for being a plagarist. (Mainly
'cause I'm not sure what it means. )
( Contin ued from page 2)
This sit uation could very easily
be corrected and while it would
involve some expense, the results
would more than offset this expenditure. With the great number
of students attending classes in
this building over a span of years,
the expense would be exceedingly
small in comparison with the- increase in learning. The class rooms
should be interchanged.
The equipmen t and classroom
facilities of the chemistry laboratory should be moved to the fourth
floor of the building ; likewise the
biological d e p a r t m e n t and its
equipment should be moved to the
third floor , leaving the two bottom
floors free for the classes of art ,
music , litera t ure , and geography.
Foul air and odors would seldom
descend to their quarters but could
be very easily dispersed into the
upper air. Dense clouds of smoky
haze would not fill these rooms on
the lower floors and consequently
the students could concentrate on
their instructor and on what he is
saying without outside interference .
A re-arrangement of this sort
could very easily be accomplished
during a summer recess. While
this would a ff ect the summer sessions in these two science departments , this would not seriously
handicap the school or the students. Instruction could , of course,
be conducted in some other building during this period .
The problem as it is found presently offers no alternative but to
make this adj ustment in class
room arrangement. With the high
cost of building prevailing today,
(he constr uction of another building to house these fine arts is out
of the question. But in order to
help students give their f ull attention to the fine arts field , they
should be given every available
opportunity by the college. Removing the interferences from the
science departments would be a
maj or step in this direction .
It's All Yours . ? .

C.G.A. HAS MANY
UNINFORMED CRITICS
The C. G. A. has many crit ics
among the st udent body, faculty,
and administration . Many of thr>
criticisms it receives tire j ustified,
but more often they are made by
self-appointed and appallingly uninformed critics.
Many members of the college
community are tot ally unaware of
the distinctions between the C.G.A.
and the College Council. Every
student and every fac ulty member
in this college is a member of the
Community Government Association . This Association is the college as organized for carrying on
its affairs.
Obviously, such a large group
makes business procedings slow
and unwieldy, so persons are chosen from the Community Government Association to represent it
and administer its affairs. These
p ersons c o mp r i s e the College
Council. "The College Council,"
states the Pilot , "administers the
affairs of the association , formulate its policies , and act upon
cases involving violations of the
Community Government Association 's regulations.

Other suggestions made at this

suggestion concerning floodlights.
