C.GA. Elections Close with.
Great Show of Enthusiasm

The fin al seven day round in the race for the presidency of C.G.A.
saw David Skammer eliminated in a primary election held after campaign speeches were given in Carver Auditorium. The presidency being
the only office at stake in the primary, it was not until the final week
before the election that campaigning started on a full-time scale. Being
mainly restricted to the old gym, every available space was used to
advantage to display the talents of some particular candidate.

In the pre-primary campaign speeches given by candidates for
President and Vice-President, it was the first time in many years that
all five candidates actually stated that they wanted to be an officer of
C. G. A. and needed the vote of the students. "I am here for one reason
only, for y our vote," stated Albert McManus, the first to deliver his
speech , "I want your vote, I need it, and I sincerely ask for it."
Mr. McManus believed a candidate for president must have a
high average, be interested m
everything going around the campus, and haye experience in as
many activities as possible. He
believed the power of the president is limited to a leader with
ideas, not that of a commander or
dict ator . While the president
should have experience on council,

Your CG-A
Off icers

No organization , no matter how
well-planned and organized , can
function properly or accomplish
what it does without proper leadership and guidance. Student leadership in C.G.A. is entrusted to
five people, ranging from a president to an assistant treasurer.
President
Edwin Cunfer
Mr. Cunfer, as executive head
of an all-college organization , has
definite and precise duties to perform. He has to call and preside
over all C.G.A. and College Council meetings. He is the most im-

It 's All Yours . . . Again . . .
C.G.A. elections are over. The crepe paper , si g ns , matc h es,
chewing gum , posters, rumors , an d button-holing tactics will soon
be carefully packed away for another year. It probably h as not
been the most exciting election the campus has seen , but it beyond
doubt was not in the least dull. Whether you campaigned for a
certain can didate , or just sat back and smiled at it all , it was fun ;
something you could count on to break the occasional monotony.
This year the Maroon and Gold has again attempted to bring
t he el ection resu l ts to you , the student body, at the quickest possible moment following the election . This was done with the idea
that one of the ultimate purposes of a college newspaper is to
carry official announcements and records of important college
functions and events. It was assumed that the college community
is interested in knowing the results of its elections as soon as
possible.
Now that everyone knows who will reign as heads of your
C.G.A. next year, if history can be said to repeat itself , B.S.T.C.
will settle down once more and plod along as usual. The annual
revival of interest in the political affairs of the college will subside
an d ennui will prevail where enthusiasm so lately sparkled.
I f that is the case, then it will be your own personal fault ,
an d no one el se 's. You have just finished voting for five people
who have told you or let it be known to you at one time or another
during their campaign that they would serve you. If the candidate
for whom you voted did not win, the person who did is still in
office to serve you. He can do a good job; his capability is b eyon d
qu estion. But he cannot succeed without your support. C.G.A.
officers and representatives are delegates whom you have sent to
look after your affairs.
If you want a council to serve you , you must give it your full
cooperation and support; you must express your faith and confidence in it. It is the best council you wili find in any State
Teachers College in Pennsylvania . Were the candidates for
whom you voted elected? Good; since you helped put them where
they are, you are as much responsible as they for their future
success. Were your candidates defeated ? Then all the more
reason why you should work to support the organization . If you
feel that the officers are unwise choices, the responsibility rests
more directl y on the individuals in the group.
There are those who habituall y criticize the C. G. A. and
college council. Upon closer examination , it will be found that
while many of these criticisms are in part justified , otlhers are
made by self-appointed critics. They do not know or realize any
difference between C.G.A. and college council , when it meets and
what it does, This issue of the Maroon and Gold should make at
least a few of these points clear. This editor at least hopes so.

of trying to please everyone at the

by the television , lounge , and evaluation committees. He must and
does take suggestions offered him
before Council and presides over
discussions on those suggestions
with no show of favoritism. He
represents the student body on
public occasions. This year , among
other things, he was the delegate
to the Pennsylvania State Educational Conference at Harrisburg,
and testified at a court hearing in
Scranton in favor of the Greyhound Bus Lines, who wished to
obtain a franchise from any two
points within Pennsylvania outside the fifty mile radius limit.
Then there are the special
things, the extra bits of work that
constantly go on with few hearing

Mr. Crisci to apooint the chairmen of all standing committees ,
and to supervise their work and
progress. He must represent these
committees in council , and serve
on committees which affect their
action. As vice-president , he must
be prepared to serve as presiding
officer of C.G.A. in the absence of
the president. As a regular Council member, he too represents the
interests of the student body and

which he is assigned. He too may
be requested to represent the
C.G.A at conventions, such as the

His Life and Times

Four months after the State Council of Education changed the
name of the Normal School to Bloomsburg State Teachers College, a
committee of men and women students together with several faculty
members, were called upon to start on the first draft of the Constitution
of the Community Government Association. By February 22, 1928, nine
months after B.S.JST.S. became B.S.T.C, the constitution had the blessing
of students and faculty, and a Student Council was in operation, but in
need of a president. Since the constitution at that time provided that
Council was to nominate three candidates for each office, two boys and
a girl were appointed to run for the office of president. Thomas Welsko,
senior representative to Council, became the first President of C. G. A.,
today's winner becoming the twenty-seventh person to succeed him.
> The first Council was mainly concerned with organization, establishing Social, Fire, Lobby, Hospitality, Dining Room, and Grievance
committees. The North and Waller Hall Associations were made to run
smoothly, and the local chapter of Alpha Psi Omega was established on
campus. Through Council action, gravel was spread on our campus
paths and planned welcomes for visiting athletic teams were started.
Plans f or the first college handbook were made.
Succeeding Welsko as president was George A. Mathews, who with
Council strived to better and strengthen the workability of C. G. A.
Under leadership of Edgar F. Richard, the 1929-30 C.G. A. saw
professional fraternities firmly planted on campus to replace the discordant social clubs which were not helping to build student moral or
professional attitude. Work was done
on improving the relation between the

The war interrupted the reign
of Boyd Buckingham in 1943 and,
upon leaving college, he was replaced by the first woman president of C. G. A., Jeanne Fice. It
was not the last of Boyd Buckingham , however, for Miss Fice soon
became his wife. It was in that
year that the Navy V-5 program
began, football was discontinued ,
and a College Council of Defense
was formed;
Edward Manley was president
for the first semester of the 194344 school year, during the height

The first duty of the Pep Committee was to choose the new
cheerleaders for the 1952-53 season. The first meeting was held on
September 15, 1952 to make plans
for choosing cheerleaders and plan
a pep rally for the first game with
Wilkes College. The schedule of
pep rallies for the football season
was as follows:
Sept. 26: The rally was held in
the old gym. Songs and cheers
were led by the cheerleaders
and a pep talk was given by
Bells Colone. A bonfire was held
on the Ben Franklin Court followed by a parade through town
in which the Freshmen carried
posters they had made for this
purpose as part of Customs.
After the parade a dance was
held in the old gym.
Oct. 8: This pep rally was one of
the biggest of the year in preparation for Homecoming. The
rally started on the Ben Franklin court with a huge bonfire
complete with fire engine and
floats made by the various clubs
and fraternities on campus. Also, in preparation for this pep
rallv an assembly was held on
Oct. 2 in which freshman Customs violators gave a boost to
this gala event.
Nov. 18: This pep rally was held
before the West Chester game
and followed the same procedure as the others except for a
mock funeral and burial of a
huge paper Ram that had been
made by the Waller Hall girls.
A parade through town and
dance brought to an end the
football season.
Following football season, it is
the duty of the cheerleaders to
continue to boost the support of
the student body. The cheering
was improved and attendance
greater at the basketball games.
This will nrobably be true of the
spring sports also. A fine job has
been done by the cheerleaders and
the Pep Committee—let's support
them.

silver , and other kitchen equipment has been purchased to provide excellent facilities for any
party in the social rooms.
The third pr oj ect for this year
is in Centenni al Gymnasium.
Plans have been made to provide
a permanent backdrop for an orchestra and to purchase clip-onlights for the orchestra musicstands. Punch bowls and "booties"
for tables and chairs also will be
purchased.
The committee members are
Dick Hurtt and Nancy Williams,
co-chairmen, Jeananne Evans and
Malcolm Smith. Dr. Kehr is the
advisor.
A special planning committee
consisting of Nancy Williams and
Dick H ur tt , co-chairmen, Jeananne Evans, Mai Smith, Dave
Superdock, Hope Home, Ed Connolly, Shirley Eveland, and Alt a
Hermany has been formed this
year to draw up plans for renovating the lounge in Waller Hall.
The purpose of this plan is to provide students and faculty members with better lounge facilities
which will cover all interests.
These plans consist of having a
faculty lounge opposite the upper
deck, enlarging the canteen area,
providing lounge space which will
eventually house a portion of the
area for dancing, and having a
game room.
Mr. Johnson, Mr. Hinkel, Miss
Bower, Miss Wilson, and Mr. Henrie comprise the faculty committee working with the student committee.
The purpose of both the planning and./furniture committees is
to use allotted money in ways
which will benefit students and
faculty most profitably .

The first in a line of G.I. presidents of C.G.A. was William Horvath (1946-47). He was the first
president with a wife and child as
roommates off campus. Council in
'47 had to cope fully with a new
element — the returning veteran,
who expected far more from the
student.

HARRY LOGAN

5 W. Main St., Bloomsburg, Pa.

The 1953 High School Invitational Basketball Tournament is history now, but it will be a long time before most of the spectators will
have the privilege of witnessing as many exciting contests as there were
to be found in this year's classic. The tourney was one that was featured time and again with upsets galore. One night a team would look like
a world-beater, and the next time they would be j ust another ball club.
The sportsmanship displayed this year, whether a team was winning or
losing, was the best in the long history of the games.
In the Class C finals this year, a strong Rock Glen team that
featured speed and a fighting spirit appeared to have a decided advantage over a determined but not too potent Scott Twp. five . But Scott's
quintet played their hearts out, and to the delight of the crowd led all
of the way in downing the favored Rockets.
The finals in Class B also saw the underdog coming through with
the chips down to cop the crown. This time it was a sharp shooting
Minersville team that started fast and hung on to send the Preppers
from Freeland M.M.I. down to defeat, 63-61. It was a heart-breaking
defeat for the crowd-pleasing Preppers, who also dropped a one point
decision in last year 's Class B finals. At one point early in the game
the Miners held an 18-8 lead, which proved to be a maj or factor in their
win, as the losers came back strongly, only to have time run out at the
height of their drive.
The biggest and best treat of the entire tournament, came in the
finals of the Class A eliminations which pitted a fast , aggressive St.
Claire quintet, the f avorit e, against a tall, sharp-passing Weatherly five.
It was, in fact, a scoring duel between St. Clair's scoring ace, Joe Sninsky who tallied 36 points in his last outing and Weatherly's highly
touted Frank Romano, who had accumulated an astounding 900 odd
points this season. Powered by the uncanny shooting ability of Romano,
the Weatherly boys came out on top. The fans were left agog time and
again, as the slender Weatherly ace dropped hook shot after hook shot
"from every angle imaginable in as brilliant a shooting exhibition as has
ever been seen on the Centennial boards. Anybody can shoot a hook,
but to hit on three out of four is a trick that is to be applauded, and
applauded he was indeed. Romano finished the contest with 37 markers,
Sninsky totalling 22.
All-Tournament Team
At the completion of the evening 's contests the annual All-Tournament team was chosen, and the deserving All-Stars were given a big
hand by the approving crowd. The climax of the games was the awarding of the handsome Outstanding Player Trophy. There was no trouble
in deciding who deserved this honor.1 As Weatherly 's Frank Romano
was called forward the fans gave him the roaring ovation that he surely
deserved. Other members of the All Tournament team were: Sninsky,
St. Clair; Citro, Freeland M.M.I.; Quinn, Minersville; Kandra, Shamokin ; Kocick, Dallas Twp.; Bankek, Butler Twp.; Wanich, Scott Twp.;
McGlyn , Rock Glen , and Bach, Shickshinny.

Baseball Practice Begins

With Spring in the air it's time to take me out to the ball game,
and the 1953 edition of the baseball Huskies are the boys to watch.
Coach Jack Yohe in his first season as baseball mentor has had his
hopefuls working hard for the past few weeks on Mount Olympus to
decide which nine men will take the field in the season 's opener against
Wilkes College April 11.
As Coach Yohe looks over his veteran-packed infield he feels that
the hot corner will probably be plugged by the versatile Dave Linkchorst, who hit a smart .374 last season. Dave will be starting his
fourth campaign on the hill and will be a definite asset to the team. A
good standby for Link may be found in freshman George Parsell, the
very capable Orangeville slugger.
As we move over to shortstop, we can't help but notice the flashyfielding Kenny Mincemoyer. Mince hit from the lead-off slot last season
and did himself credit with a .285 average.
The job of playing the keystone sack is a hotly contested one.
Johnny Halcovich and Bob Cummins split the job last season, but nothing is definite thus far , as Ron Steinbeck is another man who has ideas
on the subj ect.
At firs t base the Johnstown Freshman, Bob Stroup, a 200 pound
ex-marine, has been showing his ability to hit the long ball and handle
his fielding chores with no trouble. This will probably force Coach Yohe
to move the popular Bill Bartelson , a senior flrst-sacker , to the outfield.
Another outfielder will be Joe Glosek, a good bet to be swinging
from the clean-up slot this season on the strength of a .395 batting
average last year, and .320 the year before.
Ron Girton, former Bloomsburg High School outfielder , and one of
their leading hitters iast spring, will be hustling for an outfield berth
with other promising flychasers such as Frank Janowicz, Joe Kinder,
and Ron Kelchner.
Coach Yohe finds himself with a real problem in deciding who will
don the mask and chest-protector in the opener. Those vieing for the
job of calling the pitches are John Panichello and Bob Aurand, last
season's substitute receivers, the hard-playin g Bernie Mont and freshman Joe Keefer.
The Huskie mound corps will feature John Angus, a burly righthander, who was ineligible last season because of the transfer rule but
should be a real asset this season. Rudy Holtzman, a portsider who was
a winning pitcher last year, will be tough to beat. Big Al Belinsky, a
converted outfielder , with a lot of side arm tricks should also prove to
be a dependable starter. Big things are also expected of Charley Kwlatkoski, the "Plymouth Playboy " who did a lot of pitching in the Navy
and will round out the front line pitchers.
», .
So as the Huskies are preparing to enter the 1953 baseball campaign with a few new faces and some old favorites, here's wishing them
luck and the support of the fans,

What price beauty ? . . .
The future food consumption *in the college dining room is headed
for a very noticeable decrease. Analysis: Too many gals weigh too many
pounds from having eaten too many starches. Reason for the sudden
interest: Fashion show time is here ! No need to go "Europe for Coronation Year ;" our annual fashion show features exactly that theme, even
up to the showing of crown j ewel replicas. Over this year 's "T" ru nway,
incidentally, will walk some of B.S.T.C.'s shapliest girls. (So what if
they are the hungriest?)
All foolishness aside, though , this year 's show promises some of the
most attractive merchandise (both girls and clothes) ever presented in
one of Mr. Henrie's productions. And best of all, it's free—so bring the
family, won't you ?

A late but firs t rate "welcome back" to the two tourists of the
Freshmen class—Schultz and Starr. I recently came upon an article in
the Redbook entitled "Live While You're Young ;" Ihave a silght suspicion that it was written by these two fellows, because if a trip to
Florida during the middle of the school year doesn't signify that you 're
living while you 're young, do tell me what does!

.Showertime Serenade . . .
Opera fans may rave about Chopin and be-bop fans may thrive on
the music of "Doc Sausage " while show-goers croon to the tunes of
Hamm erst ein, but we here at Bloomsburg have among us two girls who
are headed for sure fame in the musical future. The girls, both inhabit ants of t hat f amous f ourth floor , Waller Hall , are known about campus
as Constance ( Con ) Wallace and Jean Ann (Answer the phone, Larry)
Evans. Without further adieu, I will present their composition for the
enj oyment of anyone on the hill who has ever suffered through shower
time. The song is to be sung to the tune of "They 're Either Too Young
or Too Old," and the words are as follows:
"Th ey 're either too hot or too cold;
They 're either too fast or too gosh darn slow.
What's good is in the other stall;
The ones we get don't work at all.
We 've looked the showers over, and lo and behold—
They 're either too hot or too cold!"

My slip is showing . . .
In my last column, you will recall that I dwelt on the subj ect of
short, shorter, and shortest nicknames of different individuals here at
school. To make a long story short, that particular bit of data was
lacking thee most excellent example of the name-dwindling devises of
humans. Many of you are unaware, as Iwas, that we have among us a
GUGLIELMO ALFONSO GUISEPPE CELESTO EDQUARDO OTTAVIANI. (48 letters— count 'em!) The punch line of the story is that
most of us know this person as Bill Ottaviani, the only one who can
answer that question in your mind: HOW DID THEY SUCCEED IN
DWINDLING IT DOWN TO JUST PLAIN BILL?

Who done it? . . .
T.V. is here to stay ! Among the most interesting programs televised by the Wilkes-Barre network is that stimulating program starring
Robert Montgomery. Television fans sit nervously in the lounge and
anxiously await the capture of the villain. They watch the Ace Detective or Snooper Brain line up the suspects and give an inspiring
account of the brainy strategy he employed to uncover the dirty villain.
The audience shifts positions impatiently as the sponsor says a few
thousand words about his product, and three minutes later they sit up
alertly as they hear those famous words. "It was . . . . you guessed it
. . . . the night watchman ! (No, no , he wasn't the villain ; he TURNED
OFF THE T.V. SET!) Yes, fellow students, television is here to stay—
.„, at least until someone moves the set to his room . . . .

Shades of spring . . .
With the coming of warm weather, the champion basketball team
will be sporting their new jackets. However, the general concensus of
opinion seems to be in favor of spring, even if one doesn!t happen to
have a new j acket. After all, it was a COLD winter up here on the hill ,
wasn't it, girls and boys?

During her European assignment, she traveled extensively
