The Final Survey . . .

In reading over Dave Newbury 's final column for the Maroon
and Gold , you will notice his catch p h rase "Two Years Before
the Task". Borrowinq from "Currents ", t h at p h rase can a l so
app ly to your editor. This issue of the Maroon and Gold is the
last one this semester for general distribution to the student body;
a special Alumni issue will be circulated on Saturday, May 23.
The paper you are now reading is the thirty-sixth issued under
supervision of this editor; with one exception it is also the last.
If something must be said of the Maroon and Gold after this
two-year span , at least let it be mentioned that it was different.
Rat her than coming out at regular intervals whether it was worth
t h e eff ort or not , tne paper was staggered to meet the availability
of material. The six page issue was periodicall y reinstated after
severa l years absence to better cover events worth covering. When
t h ere were no events , there was also no paper.
Wor king on the princi ple that everyone likes to see their picture in print , an d a l so t h at p eople wou ld rat h er l oo k t h an rea d any
day, the total number of pictures used in the Maroon and Gold
jumpe d over fifty percent. An attempt was made to ali gn f eature
stori es wit h peop le and places on ca mpus . Throug h Maroon and
Gold research , the most intensive survey to date of your Community Government Association and College Council was printed
in the C.G.A. election issue. The whereabouts and doings of past
C.G.A. presidents was also included.
Although hampered by deadlines and news availability, the
Maroon and Gold managed to be a newspaper in the dail y sense
of the word at least once a year when it issued the election results
within three hours after the polls closed. The remainder of the
tim e, it had to be conten t with recording fact rather than breaking
news. But this too is an essential part of a coll ege paper . Hoping
t o reac h more people, the tradition of eternally b eing issued on a
Friday was broken in favor of days earlier in the week.
Along with the better things, the Maroon and Gold had beyon d doubt its goodly share of trials and errors. Known to those
who wish to know , they are better left unsaid. Where inexperience and lack of good jud gment resu lted in inferior issues, t h is
editor can only hope that sufficient later issues involving l ong
range planning and hours of work at least served to balance the
scales.
In College Council , the representativ es ' of the Maroon and
, . Gold twice foug ht against use of petitions in C.G.A. elections.
A t no tim e was t he f ig ht to retain open nominations based on
personal motives, but rather a sincere opinion that plans offered
were unworkable and written looking back rather than ahead.
This opinion still stands. All other measures were also voted upon
with the good of the student bod y in min d.
«
No publication can be run without the aid and support of those
around it. The editor wishes to take this opportunity to thank a
few of those who gave the paper these essential elements.
Mr. Edward T. DeVoe: an adviser of a publication unfortunatel y receives the most attention when there are problems to
solve and troubles from which to escape. Mr. DeVoe has received
quite a bit of attention. His countless hours of laboring, advising,
planning, w orr ying, and soothing have been greatl y appreciated.
Dr . Harvey A. Andruss : the Office of the President was
one always open to the problems of the Maroon and Gold. This
editor deeply thanks the President for his patience , advice, tim e,
and ideas,
Dr. Marguerite Kehr ; a person to whom you can always
turn for help is hard to find . The Maroon and Gold's condolences
go to future editors who must plod along without Dr. Kehr. For
rilling countless column's minutes before a deadline , fo r constant
leads, tips , and stories, for doing research and providing materials
for it; for a wonderful memory of people and places, and last but
not least for an office with a telephone in which you needn 't put
dimes , our heartfelt thanks ,

Pin k Pigs and Vaselin e Vases

The hobby of collecting antique glassware has aroused considerable
interest on the campus of B.S.T.C. Here, many faculty members have
considerable glass collections which they exchange, sell, and add to
zealously. Beyond doubt the "Dean" and top authority of Bloomsburg's
hobby is Miss Ethel Ranson, head of the Mathematics Department at
the college. Having made an extensive study of glassware, she has become an enthusiastic and extensive collector. Her home is a virtual
showplace, containing thousands of beautiful specimens. Her collection
overflows from the attic, which was remodeled for the purpose of storing
glass, down to numerous shelves and showcases in the lower portion of
the house.
Glassware, according to Miss Ranson, cannot be properly collected
without some study. Six books alone have been written on j ust the
patterns of glass pitchers, each book describing two different specimens.
Glassware has historical value, telling the story of life in another day.
Each piece of antique glass has a different value, depending on location
and supply. It is more than easy to be "took" in glass buying and
selling. There are many reproductions made which are difficult to
distinguish from the antique unless you know the "feel" of old glass.
While collector's items can be easily acquired from dealers or
private individuals , many fine pieces can be obtained at public auctions,
often at prices well below the market. Notices of auctions frequently
appear in newspaper advertisements; notification will come directly to
you if you leave your name with a few well-known auctioneers. On
Memorial Day alone, hundreds of collectors from all parts of the country
congregate near Bloomsburg for the annual Roan Auction Sale, bidding
against each other for prize offerings.
"Certainly women are not the only ones who collect glassware,"
Miss Ranson stresses. Many men fancy flasks , bottles, steins, and
antique lamps . Even children like to collect bottles and miniature china
and glass. They love such things as animal dishes and such unusual
flgurenes as the one entitled "Pink Pigs on a Green Background."
Definitely one of the nicer things to which glass collecting lends
i tself is the art of making friends. Dealers and collectors are forever
writing one another in search of additions to their collections. More
1han a few close friendships have arisen among people who have never
met previously.
Pennsylvania, being an old state, is especially well provided with
a stock of antiques. While the state has been combed over and over,
new specimens keep appearing. What might start out as a hobby can
well develop into a profitable business enterprise. Miss Ranson , although
now collecting antique glass, china and bisque as only a hobby, fully
intends to become a dealer upon her retirement; from teaching.
So if you desire a hobby, a relief from the trials of teaching, a
profitable enterprise, or only a few new friends, try collecting antique
glass, china and bisque. Happy pink pig hunting!

King Kong or Something . . .
It has been brought ( dragged) to my attention that Miss Williams
is not the only one to be crowned for poise and beauty. Recently that
tall, suave scion of the basketball courts, one Bob Shuttlesworth by
nam e, has won new honors in being crowned King of the Ashland High
School Ball. Someone has started the evil rumor that the only reason
he was enthroned was because his lady of the evening was elected
Queen. C. C. would like to go on record for the students of BSTC in
saying that we think Shuttles is cuter 'n anybody (well almost).
Footprints in the Cinders of Time . . .
Of course, most of the time isn't too rapid but our trackers put a
gamey gob of guys out on the cinder path. So far in track B.S.T.C. has
been on the light end of the scoring against Shippensburg, Cheyney
et. al. Howsomever, our defending champion in the j avelin, ("Trowin*
na ' spear " as Shuey would say ) John Scrimgeour, has stayed on the
top of .the heap. The crowds have thinned out a bit at this event since
Roland "crook ed ru n" Schmidt nearly pinned a spectator to the turf a
couple weeks back. Joseph, formerly "wingfoot " Feifer, the State
Champion in the mile, pulled a muscle in practice and has needed a
handcar ever since. To Joe goes the C. C. Purple Heart in Athletics
for giving it the old college try. To look at "Dutch" Meters you would
think that he needed a ladder just to get a grip on the pole he vaults
with. "Dutch" has placed well in this event so far. ( Remember for his
size, he's a lot further up than the rest of the guys.) And so it goes:
Keith Weiser—high j ump, Larry Bush—pole vault, Tucker—the dasher,
but j ust not enough depth. Long as the cinders hold out we'll be there.

his column and became yearbook
head.

The Final Survey . . .
( Continued from page 1)

Mrs. Anna Knight: for that always cheerful smile that makes
the problems with which you dashed in seem not quite as bad ; for
i nf ormation , leads , and general help, our appreciation goes to Mrs.
Knight. Our thanks also to the Publications Committee: Mr.
De voe , Miss Waldron , Dr. Russell, Miss Keefer , Miss Bower.
Dr. Seronsy, for helpful and ever-read y advice. Thanks to College Council for the bulk of the funds with which the Maroon
and Gold is operated and the transference of G.I. mail expenses
to reserve funds.
The Maroon and Gold loses through graduation a number of
distinguished seniors. Dave Newbury, an Editorial Board member
last year , closes his two year old "Current Currents ". Dave has
written many fine stories for the Maroon and Gold , but it is his
column which will be remembered for some time to come. The
Maroon and Gold loses also its two Sports Editors , Harry Brooks
an d Gene Morrison . Harry has been with the paper since a freshman , writing a feature column, and then creating "Locker Lingo. "
Gene h as more t h an capa bly directed the third page of the
Maroon and Gold.
With gra duation go Alice Quick and Bessmarie Williams , two
. hard working members of the Editorial Board. The presence of
Alice and Bess at Tuesday night deadlines aided greatly in the
putting out of the paper. The circulation department will lose
Mary Kallenbach. Mary h as done a f ine jo b d irecting t h e paper 's
circulation. Betty Speal and Jean Skeeba , our two typ ing editors,
have also done much toward easing the deadline rush.
While they are not graduating, both credit and thanks should
go to: Harriet Williams for her hard work as Associate Editor ;
Albert McManus for somehow balancing our bud get and increasin g our a dvertising income by over three times; Charles Andrew s,
Betty Hoover , Stephen Wolfe , Ferae Soberick , an d Nancy Sue
Williams for their work on the Editorial Board; Bob Von Drach
an d Anna Bittner for their handling of news and feature ; Dee
Doyle for her column; Tom Johnson and Stan Aagaard for their
work on G.I . mail and circulation .
The list could go on and on. There are the news, feature,
sports , circu l ation , advertising, and typing staffs. And naturally
thanks should go to t h e stu dents an d f acu l ty for reading and
evaluating the paper.
All in all , a great many people fit into the final makeup of that
little four or six page issue you hold in your hands. We trul y
an d sincerely hope you enjoyed the Maroon and Gold and receive d somet h ing from it.
