To the Student Body
Official announcement of the results of the recent C.G.A.
general election reached the hands of the student body by means
of the Maroon and Gold only two hours after the polls closed.
This is the fastes t that this service has ever been rendered by a
publication in any election in the history of the college.
Rendering you this service required the work of eleven people
for over two hours. Seven members of the staff went without
dinner in order to do thi s work in the shortest possible time. The
student body would scarcel y tolerate even this slight delay, as
evidenced by the literall y dozens of people banging at the doors
before the results were made public. Ite was after 11:00 p.m.
when the work was comp letel y finished.
The Maroon and Gold tried to anticipate the election results ,
not in the headlines (which were chosen so as to run a ticket
rath er than to split a ticket), but in the box giving the official
voting figures. The name of onl y one candidate who was elected
appears on the rig ht side of that box.
Filling in the complete headline after the election, which
appears to many to have been a more fair method , would have
meant work for 22 people for 2 hours , or else a 4-hour delay in
circulating the results. Does that sound fair?
The differences in the type used in the headlines was a
printer 's error caused by using material from two printers in an
effort to better serve you.
Printing a complete headline to be added after the election ,
would , furthermore , have caused an expenditure of at least $32
from M & G funds — in other words , a waste of at least $24 from
i/ our Community Activities fee.
We sincerel y hope that this explanation will clear up some
vit al points concerning Maroon and Gold coverage of the election.

We 're all happy to say th at the
day-dorm dan ce was quite a gala
affair. Many of th e girls felt that
they didn 't want to wear gowns- I don 't know why, seems to r
oe it
was something about the Junior
Prom being so close --¦ so they
donned themselves in their best
street-lengt h dresses. Bla ck seemed to be the fa vorite color for the
majo rity of these dresses. I might
add here that , no doubt , they were
much easier to dance in. Yes sir,
it seemed like a pretty stabl e idea ,
if you ask me.
I noti ced Peggy Fitzsimmons in
a tangerine ballerina length dress.
Now I'm not certain , but I believe
it was a nyJon nc( ha ving a
taffeta underskirt . A l t h o u g h I
couldn 't get a close look at it , Peg
informs me that it had navy blue
in it giving it an almost plaid
effect. It was extremely full because of six panels in the skirt ,
and a pleat that slanted down
from her shoulder to the waist .
There were five pleats in the
sleeves, and five covered buttons
on the left side under the sleeve.
Oh , yes, I m u stn 't forget the neckline. Those of you who were fortunate enough to see it , will remember that it was an off-theshoulder affa ir. Peg really looked
dreamy whirling across the dance
floor.
And did you see Joyce McDougall's gown ? (Now I sound j ust like
a w oman , don 't I? ) It was a luscious shade of blue somewhat
darker than alice blue. The material was nylon net. It was strapless
with a stole. What really attracted
my attention was the daisies j ust
strewn all over the gown. They
were white velvet with a rhi nestone center. You can tell Joyce
used good taste in this selection
as usual!
Ruth Glidden is all set for
spring classes in a green and white
checked cotton blouse which buttons down the front, and has short
sleeves and a pointed collar . The
neckline may be worn buttoned ,
high if desired. Ruth wears a dark
green fl ared corduroy skirt to
complete the outfit . Pretty neat!
Peggy Bourdette looks sli ck in
a black gabardine straight skirt
with a kick pleat in front and an

Presented by College Dramatists
Herbert Stover
Author of Many
Books, Stories

Unknown tu most B.S.T.C. st u-

dent s, Miss Stover, special educa-

tion t e a c h e r at the Benja min
Franklin Training School , ha s a
f amous and learned father . His
name is Herbert E. Stover, and he
is a very successf ul author. Perhaps some of our students have
read a few of his books; his favorite subj ect for writing is the great
outdoors.
Mr. Stover was bro ught up in
the lumber country of Pennsylvania . As a boy, he worked in the
woods , where he acquired his
broad background for the descriptive material in his writings. His
father , a lu mberman , passed on to
his son a good deal of the folklore
of that area. Mr. Stover also was
fortunate in having a forester
brother, who supplied him with a
knowledge of the outdoors. Love
for the out-of-doors seems to run
in the Stover family, for his father 's people were all lumbermen .
Herbert Stover started his writing career as a young boy. He
began in an interesting way, by
reading continued short stories in
magazines. When it was difficult
to obtain the next issue of tho
magazine to finish reading tho
story, he would write his own
endings.
Later Mr. Stover started to
write tales of the hill country
where he was born . His first book
was entitled A Change of Solution ,
which sold for fifteen dollars.
He also began his career as a
teacher about this time; while
teaching, he wrote The History of
Pennsylvania , which is now being
used in the public schools of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stover also wrote
numerous magazine articles, one
of which was published by the
Saturday Evening Post.
His teaching career included
such positions as: supervising principal , history teacher at Lewisburg
High School, and lect urer and
ex t r a - c u r r i c u l a r instructor at
Bucknell.
Mr. Stover gave up his teaching
career in order to devote his entire time to writing. Af ter he reti red in 1949, he wrote his first
full-length novel, which is entitled
Soii tf of the Susqui'huniia. It was
published in 1949. Following this
lie wrote Men in Buckskin, published in 1950, and Powder Mission ,
published in 1951. James Hilton
selected Powder Mission to be
presented on the Hallmark Playhouse, and it was broadcast from
Hollywood over W.C.A.U. on February 21, 1952.
Mr. Stover has moved back to
th e country of his childhood ; and
he now owns and operates a small
apple orchard , selling apples at a
road-side stand. He spends his
free time hunting bear , d eer , and
g rouse. He also fishes for trout.
At his present home he has no
telephone , which he claims would
only annoy him. His house is situated in a very-ouf-of-the-way sectio n of the state ; the interior is

Tourname nt Winners

Locker raw-Lingo
by Harr y Brooktt

With the weather getting warmer these fine Spring days, (we keep
telli ng ourselves) our t houghts turn to the baseball diamond and the
cinder turf. On the Maroon and Gold diamond , Redman and his crew
of talent ha ve been tossing the leather inside so long that they are
thinkin g of playing all baseball contests in the Ben Franklin gym. Few
breaks from the weatherman have forced the future nine into hiding
behind the walls of the Training School—but Redman hopes for better
things. Once a ray of light peeps through from the cloudy skys above
Mount Olympus, Bob and his buddies will be swatting the agate out of
the park in their initial Spring drills on the grass instead of the cement.
Mr. Shelly has been having the same problem. The cinders have
been so wet up in the track field that even the lightest runner on the
fut ure squad has been sinking in the ground two or three feet once
around the track. As soon as a minimum of sinkage takes place, Shelly
will direct heavy drill s in preparation for the middle-of-the-month
opener. At least one thing is certain this year—if B.S.T.C. doesn't have
q uality at least they will have quantity . Response to this racy Spring
sport has been better than usual.
Mr. Sharretts has been out feeling the ten nis courts. So far , not so
good. The clay is like soup (no aspersions cast ) but as soon as ihe sun
com es ou t , the ground crews around the campus will be patting the
courts into shape in preparation for a summer of long use.
From the athleti c office . . . Waynesburg, a very formidable and
friendly school out in the western part of the state wants a game with
the Husky cagers next year while they are making a road trip in this
area . The unfortunate thing about the whole deal is that they are traveling through on our Christmas vacation. Possibly a game will be arranged with them some time later in. the season . . . several players
who visited our campus during the recent Invitational Tournament here
on the Hill are interested in coming here. Redman has received applications from a few top boys from their respective high schools. Harold
Shelly has his ball eye on a few boys who played in the gigantic affair
also.

Dr . Russell Attends
National Meeting
In Philadelp hia

Dr. J. Almus Russell recently
attended the thirty-eight h ann ual
meeting of the Nation al Convention of the American Association
of University Professors, which
was held in the Bellevue-Stratford
Hotel in Philadelphia on March 28
and 29.
Numerous n a t i o n a l l y - f a m o u s
speakers addressed the conference.
Alexander M e i k l e j o h n , former
president of Amherst College, took
his text from the Constitution of
the United States and spoke on
the phrase "We , the people. "
Richard H. Shryock , pr esident
of the American Association of
University Prof essors and a member of the f aculty of Johns Hopkins University, emphasized the
"increasing growth and influence
of the association throughout the
United States. "
John W. Caughey , editor of The
Pacifi c Histo r ical Review , Los Angeles, u sed as his t opi c "Practical
Ways and Means of Achieving
Academic Freedom." This address
was of particular interest to the
members of the convention because Prof. Caughey is one of
fo r ty "D. P." members of the faculty of the University of California who were displaced because
of their refusal to take the Loyalty Oath required by the Board of
Regents of that college.
Of particular interest to faculty
members with children of college
age was a proposal already sanctio ned by the University of Rochester, Colgate University, and severa l others. This proposal involved
a reciprocal agreement among
colleges to provide for an educational exchange of faculty ehildz'en , so they could attend another
college and still retain the financial
benefits they would receive from
their home college,

RITTERS

Venetian Nights To
Be Theme of Prom

Plans are now almost entirely
completed for th e Junior Prom on
April 25 announced Larry Ksanznak , General Chairman. A number of class meetings have been
held at which plans for the Prom
were formulated and chairmen
apprised of their duties.
Since the Junior Prom is considered the biggest all-college dance
of the year the class is concentra ting on having an elaborate plan
of decorations. The theme of the
dance, "Venetian Nights," pro mises to be colorful and unsual , with
red , black, and gold being the
main color scheme. Gondolas, gondoleers, and , un usual lighting effects will be used to create the
striking motif.
Some of the services provided
at th e Prom will be the photographing of couples who attend as
a memento of the dance. This serv ice will be av ail able at a nomina l
fee. Anoth er service will be ushering and the checking of coats by
costumed attendants.
In order to carry out the idea
th at the Junior Prorn is the event
of t he year th e cla ss v oted to h ave
corsages. A plan is being investigated whereby corsages may be
ordered in advance by a ll st u den ts
f rom the sam e fl or ist in ord er t o
secure a discount. Results of this
plan will be announced in Assembly.
Tables will be reserved and advance sale of tickets will be available in the time preceding the
Prom.

But when she says she's speechless, then
Get ready to listen!

Contrary to most beliefs, there
are men running inside of the
Maroon and Gold sweat suits bearing the familiar "H u sky " etching
—the very same individuals that
Mr. Shelley will rely upon to fill
the many vacanies left by former
members of the cinder club. Only
th ree weeks remain to condition
the squad for a tough six-meet
schedule which will open on April
22 at Lock Haven State Teachers
College.
Inexperience will be the highest
hurdle to clear this year, as only
four seasoned veterans with high
school and former college experience will don the Husky garb. ,
Among them will be the former
Mt. Carmel speedster Joe Feif er,
who has set the pace for all competitors for the past two years.
Also heading the running events
will be Charlie Brennan whose
many abilities are well known to
most ' Husky followers. The field
events will find Mr. Shelley relying upon the services of John
Scrimgeour , a former West Pittston aggregate , to fill the vacant
gap left by last years j avelin
throwing ace Tom Spack and Russ
Verhousky to handle the broad
and high jumps.
Bolstering the running detail
[ov the '52 season will be a trio
of sophomores who made their
initial start on the cinder p aths as
Freshmen at the "friendly college."
They include Steve Wolfe and Dan
Trocki in the middle dist ances,
and Charles Yesson r u nning the
distan ce events. Roland Schmidt
will once again be heaving the
j avelin in an attempt to better his
last season markers. Lack of experience in this year 's squad certainly is not producing a lack of
interest. A wide array of men can
be seen daily at the Navy Hall
Field sprinting, j ogging, stretching, and loosening those muscles
in preparation for the opening
meet . Among them is a group of
fr eshmen whos e efforts may
strengthen the present and future
ranks of the Husky thin-clads. Included in the group of initial performers are Don Smith , who has
gained some experience at Forty
Fort High School, Gene Carol ,
George Herre, Fred Betz , Tim
Laine , Joe Kwak , Ted Rain ey and
several others. Other aspirants include Ron Cauch, Mike Crisci .
Fred Rummage, Joe Kissinger, and
Russ Hons.
A glance at the coming schedule
shows the Husky thin-clads are
not bogging out of tough competition , and head mentor , Harold
Shelly will have to use every
available effort to smooth a good
competitive line-up out of the experien ced group of men available.
YOUR LOVE

Your love was like a sunny day,
That e'er so quickly passes way ;
For one bright moment you and I
Stood beneath a cloudless sky,
And felt that same old feeling

For me the sunny day is gone ,
And our affair has long been done;
The sky has turned to portent
gray,
Nowhere is seen even a ray
Of hope for love possessed before ;
The dream is gone forevermore.

goes without saying.

The 25th Annual High School
Invitation Basketball Tourney is
now a thing of the past. But*its •
place in history will be one of
importance as far as good basketball and crowd attendance is concerned. Never before has the
Tourney supplied such thrills and
good high school basketball and
these outstanding features were
never more in effe ct th an in the
last-night a c t i v i t i e s when the
champions of the competing classes were crowned by Tourney Dire ctor , John Hoch and his able'
assistants, Ed. Cunfer and Maynard Herring.
The opening game of the evening found the "dark horse" contender from White Haven pitted
against the experienced Butler
Township five. White Haven defeated five of their opponents during the tourney in thrilling . overtime contests in wfcich they were
forced to come from behind ; Butler Township's early-round conquests led the experts to predict
the Class "C" crown for them.
This final game was one of
many thrills. Both of the teams
were in good shape and both "up "
for the contest. White Haven's
Charley Feist and Milt Miller, and
Butler Township 's Ronnie Bush
held the individual spotlight , but
the scoring race went to the AllTourney selection, Miller, as he
hit for 20 points and scored a onehand push with 7 seconds to go to
give the Haven five a thrilling
42-41 victory. Thus , we find the
White H aven aggregation the
Class "C" Champs.
The second game of the night
was probably the best played in
the whole tourney as far as both
teams were concerned. Schuylkill
Haven led by All-Tournament and
Outstanding Player of the Tourney Roy Scott and All-Tournament Dick Sherry, edged out the
well-coached closely-knit Freeland
M.M.I., who were sparked by their
two All-Tourney selections, Mickey Citro and John Samatasky .
Freeland led throughout most of
the game, but Scott and Sherry
brought the two teams to a deadlock with one minute left. That
last circle of the clock saw M.M.I,
blow five foul chances while Scott,
cool an d calm , dropped in a charity toss with j ust 3 seconds left to
cop the contest 53-52. Sherry took
all scoring honors in this game. He
chalked up 24 points as he hit
consistently from all places. To
his teammate Roy Scott , w ent th e
Outstanding Player award ; the
runner-up to this coveted cup was
Freeland's wonderful crowd-pleaser , Mickey Citro.
In the fin al contest of the evening, anoth er "Dark horse" contend er , Ha n over , was matched
with th e powerful Black Diamonds
from Ashland. Hanover surprised
all tourney predictions by copping
a 5 point win over the confident
Danville Ironmen , and moved on
to wallop the local Bloomsburg
Panthers 84 to 54.

Spring brings more than birds:
Besides turning numerous young men 's fancies lightly toward
thoughts of you know what , Spring also turns the efforts of Mr. Sharetts
and his boys toward trying to repair the ravages of Old Man Winter
about the campus. If any of you have ever been to any place besides
home and Bloomsburg, you may have noticed that here on The Hill we
have one of the best campuses ( sounds awkward doesn't i i? ) of any
small (or large for that, matter ) college in Pennsylvania. This sor1 of
thing doesn't j ust h appen; it takes lots of hard work. (Hard work—
what students have deluded themselves into believing college gets them
out of doing.) The next time you hear the chug-chug of a lawnmowev
or the putt-putt of the lawn roller , give the maintena nce men second
thought; they 're the ones who smooth the green carpet that welcomes
th at fickle dame called Spring.

Out of the .Smoke:
Out of the smoke of the Day Men 's Smoker on Monday nigh t comes
an obvious conclusion. You can commute, and not be cut off from
campus activities. It's good to see people who don 't live at the College
take an active interest in the college community. (Sorne of the weekend commuters don 't do as well. ) The combined operations of the Day
and Dorm Men in last Friday 's Day-Dorm Dance points up the point.
(And the attendance to the dance points up the comment in the previous
parentheses.)

A Record of Achievement . . .
Many of us wander for four years over "The Hill" and through the
hallowed halls and never know whereof , whyfor , or from whence came
a lot of the things that are Bloomsburg. Soon to be put in the hands
of all the students is an important addition to your Frosh "dink , " old
dance programs, newspaper clippings, and other memories you cherish.
It is called Bloomsburg Through the Years. A good pictorial and literary
summary of B.S.T.C. progress in past years, it will give you a new
insight into your four-year home away from home. Look for it.

* * * * *

The Last Round-up . . .
When the final basketball ( unlike Johnny Johnston 's head, this one
had air in it) ploched through the cords in the Intramural Circuit it
left the Coalers, tha t quintet with the built-in ego, feigning champs.
Maroon and Gold reversible sweat shirts (j ust think , with two sides they
won 't have to be laundered for two semesters) were given to the wi nners. A big C.C. goes to Dr. Wagner for handling the intramurals and
the students who kept the game to a minimum by acting as referees.
(I hear two of them are now collecting their Blue Cross payments after
reffing in the finals.)

It Can Happen Here . . .
I hope Dr. Andruss ' announcement about fire, destruction , and air
raids wasn't passed off as "assembly talk ." When that fire alarm starts
its measured clanging I suggest you do one thing--bail ! There 's something repugnant and sickening about the odor of burning flesh , especially
when its your own! So don 't stay in the sack when the bell rings cor a
fire drill; that extra sleep just may last a long time—say, like for an
eternity or two. A fire may never happen here, but it can. Another
angle is this air raid destruction training which a couple of students
are being taught, The opportunity to spread the know-how which can
be gotten from this training is nearly limitless . Those of us who go out
to teach will be able to take some practical (in these times) skills with
us.
* * * * *

And Some Moro on Conventions . . .
In order to get you all psychologically ready for the mock convention to be held on April 29 ( four days after the Junior Prom ) I'll try
to give you some facts, suppositions, and rumors (mostly the latter )
concerning the affair. Warren , Stassen, MacArth ur , Taft , and Ike will
be nominated by student speakers. The student body will be c ivided
into state delegations and may take part in the hoopla that goes with
conventions. Not only will this be a good practice and lots of fun , but
it will also be the nearest any of the st udent pretending-politicos will
come to m ink co a ts , deep freezes , etc.

His talks are designed to familiarize the Board with election procedures and help the m with any
problem that might arise durin g:
the elect ions at the college. I-lis
visits are welcomed and his assistance is greatly appreciated.
The Election Board goes through
all these steps of planning elections as sort: of a "dress rehearsal ."
It is an effort to make students

Odds and Ends and Other Odd Things , . .
Among the miscellaneous tidbits I picked up was this ( and I'm
quoting)— "Any inside dope on baseball, Mr. Redman?? " The Coach :
(confidential tone) "Welll, on April 19 the lineup for the game will
consist of nine men." (From now on , I make up my own stuff—this
question and answer routine isn 't too . . .)
You'll feel at loose ends if you don 't attend the big, best , beautiful
