Senior Class Hold s First
Meeting To Discuss Budget

/

The Senior Class held its first
meeting Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1953.
President William Jacobs presided,
and introduced the officers to the
class. Roll call was taken by VicePresident George Kallenbach.
Copies of the proposed Senior
Class Budget and proposed expenses for the Senior Banquet
were distributed among class members. The proposed budget was
accepted unanimously with the exclusion of the January Banquet
Budget. After the meeting there
was a discussion among the fourteen January graduates if it was
advisable to hold a banquet. Since
the group is so small and expenses
would be so high, it was decided
not to have a January Ball and
Banquet.
*Arrangements were also made
for Senior Class pictures. Seniors
are scheduled to have their pictures taken in the Obiter office

student, he may have them taken

graduates will have their ObltorH

A Sta tement of Polic y . . .
With this , the first issue of the Maroon and Gold , we off er
a statement of policy which shall be the guide of this publication
throughout the school year. As a studen t at B.S.T.C. you have
a clear and decisive say in your pap er , paid in large part by your
money, and aimed in main for your enlightenment , interest , and
entertainment. You are urged to bring to our attention suggestions, ^disagreements, or any discussions of policy in which you
wish to indulge.
We welcome any criticisms and though we will not please
all the people all the time , our goal is toward that encL
Our policy is t h is:
1. To publish college news.
Because a newspaper should be jus t that , in every sense of
t h e word , college news shall take precedence over all other material submitted for publication.
2. To be an organ of communication between students , faculty ,
and administration.
Since the paper is a part of a very closely integrated social
,
unit it* should be its duty to inform each group abou t the interests ,
activities, and desires of the other.
3. To provide information concerning activities in other colleges.
Toward this purpose an exchange staff is maintained.
4. To*provide journalistic experience for any qualified interested
students.
Realizing that many new teachers are expected to take over
such extra-curricular activities as yearbooks and school newspapers , we feel that work on the M & G should be of valuable
assistance.
5. To provide posterity with authentic college history.
The college library preserves bound issues of the Maroon &
Gold accumulated since the first paper was issued almost thirty
years ago.

Placement Studies and Surve ys
Certain Pennsylvania Legislative Committees have raised questions
regarding what happens to the graduates of State Teachers Colleges.
Therefore, on October 1 of each year, Pennsylvania collegiate institutions educating teachers file with the Teachers Bureau of the State
Department of Public Instruction a report , covering the placement of
their graduates of the previous year. This report , among other things,
gives the total number of teachers certified and the total ni mtjer of
teachers employed at that time.
In order to supplement these annual reports made to the Department of Public Instruction, there have been several studies made ; two
of which are PLACEMENT STUDY OF GRADUATES OF A STATE
TEACHER S COLLEGE, 1931-1948, by Harvey A. Andruss and TENYEAR SURVEY—PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES OF A TEACHERS
COLLEGE by Earl N. Rhodes.
The sources of data for these studies came from several different
places. In the Ten-Year survey, data was gathered from a questionnaire
mailed to the graduates of the classes 1931 to 1940 inclusive and from
placement records. The sources of data for the Placement Study survey
were gathered from previous studies that had been made.
The general purposes of both studies are similar. First, to secure
accurate data as to the proportion of graduates who have taught at any
time since they completed their college work ; second, to determine what
proportion are employed in occupations other than teaching; third , to
check information secured on the questionnaires against the data of the
college placement records; fourth , to calculate the average number of
years of teaching service of its graduates; fifth , to determine the high est, lowest, and average salaries of teacher graduates, and also determine any differences which may exist in the salaries paid teachers on
account of sex or curriculum; sixth, to determine the places of employ ment for graduates in terms of Pennsylvania or elsewhere.
In both cases questionnaires were sent out. The number of replies
to the questionnaires was very gratifying indeed. One reason for this
might well be the careful way in which it was constructed. There was
persistence in searching for the whereabouts of graduates and their
activities and this was j ustified in the results. These replies supplemented the placement office's knowledge of graduates, brought to light
many placements not known to the College authorities, and , in general ,
brought placement records up-to-date.
Some of the questions included in the questionnaire were: Name,
Address, Year of graduation, Curriculum completed, fields of certification. Have you ever been regularly emp loyed as a teacher ? How Long?
It also inquired as to teaching salaries In the first year and current year
of teaching along with first and current year salary of those engaged in
other employment. There was also reference to graduate work.
Studies, such as have been briefly outlined here, presented under
the direction of the College Placement Service arouse an interest in
graduates, alumni, members 'of the faculty and student body. Too, there
is the eff ec t ot making the mailing lists of the College and the Alumni
Association more accurate. Also, to the State Teachers College, the
securing of definite information relative to its graduates for any long
period of time is most gratifying and a source of satisfaction.
In the guidance of present and future students who expect to be
teachers, it can be pointed out that progress has been made in the
economic awards for teaching and that placement opportunities have
continually improved over a period which included depression , recovery,
pre-war, war, and post-war conditions.
It is through surveys of this type that such information is obtained.
Therefore, such surveys are necessary to the proper function of any
institution of higher learning.
In the event of the pre-stated facts, it seems justified to draw the
following cpnclusions:
Periodically, a long-term survey of the placement of graduates
needs to be made to bring to light a considerable number in the teaching profession not disclosed by an annual study.

Since the most insidest thing inside C.G.A. is College Council ,
that's what most of this is gonna
be about. Keeping in mind that a

reading anything too drastic—unless I think I can get away with it.
As a unified body, C.G.A. cooperates with the administration
in promoting persona! and group
responsibility in guidance and regulation of student affairs and activities. When enough people are on
their toes, C.G.A. can really mean
confidence, go-getter, and action.
A greater part of the functions of
C.G.A. are entrusted to the Council. You Frosh will send delegates
to it after the nine week grades
are in. These will participate in
formulating and administering policies along with upperclassmen and
faculty members. In Council student desires and responsibilities
are clearly defined. If you want
something done, here's where you
should have it done—through your
representatives.

Huskies Chalk Up Second Half Rally
Bloom Triumph
First League Win Sees
The Bloomsburg Huskies started

Coach Jack Yohe's win-hungry
Huskies made it two in a row last
Saturday when they traveled to
Mansfield to play before a Parents
Day crowd of about 1000. The
Huskies' defense was as tough as
the Rock of Gibralter and their
backs had pretty much their own
way too, in jo lting their up-state
teacher rivals 26-7.
Once again Coach Yohe cleared
his bench in an effort to hold the
score down and at the same time
watch his many green players
under game pressure. Twelve backs
in all took their turn at luggin'
the leather.
The game was only minutes old
when Sophomore Quarterback,
Lashendock shot a perfect strike
to the Mechanicsburg Speed-Merchant, Jimmy Browning in a play
which covered 35 yards and a resulted in a Bloom T.D. Charlie
Casper's boot sp lit the uprights
and the visitors led 7-0. Bloomsburg continued to keep possession
of the ball for the remainder of
the first half , but was unable to
push across any further scores.
On the Mansfield side of the ledger, the firs t half was somewhat
of a nightmare as their backs were
only able to garner minus yardage
and never once see the Bloomsburg
side of the fifty yard stripe, or
even register a first down.
The Huskie's line play was outstanding, led by Ding Persing, a
rugged 200 pound gu ard who once
captained the Greyhounds of Shamokin and Big Don Thomas another former Greyhound, who played havoc with the would-be ball
carriers of Mansfield all afternoon.
At the start of the second hall,
the boys from College Hill set in
motion their lightning-like attack
in making way for Barney Osevala
to ram across with their second
score of the afternoon.
It was after Bloom led 13-0 that
Mansfiel d fought back and took the
liberty of crossing the fifty-yard
lirffe into Huskie territory and forcing the issue to as far as the
Bloomsburg five yard line via the
forward pass. Mansfield then tried
to run a good thing into the ground
by trying to score when Williamsport's Bob Groover thought things
had gone too far and grabbed a
Mansfield forward in the end zone
and raced the distance to make
the score read Bloom 19, Mansfield 0.
But Mansfield was not to be denied a goal and they certainly
tried hard enough when their efforts were rewarded with a touchdown pass and an extra point. This
finally gave their faithful something to stand up and cheer for.
,Their cheers were short-lived as
Huskie wingman Sammy Belle
jumped on a fumble that was set
up by the hard chargin g Huskie
line. Seven plays later, Big Les
Shuda pounded over with the
game's final tally, and the Huskie's
first league win. '
Life is very simple. It merely
consists of learning to accept the
impossible, how to do without the
indispensable, h ow to endure th e
insupportable.

off their 1953 football season in
grand fashion with a 27-6 victory
over the Wilkes College Colonels.
Held to a 6-6 tie at half time the
Huskies came back with threg
touchdowns in the second half to
pain their initial win.
Bernie Mont kicked off to
Wilkes to open the game and three
plays later Tait fumbled a punt
and Bloomsburg recovered on the
Wilkes' 15 yard line. On third
down Barney Osevala, Husky fullback, crashed over for the touchdown. Mont's conversion was blocked and Bloomsburg led 6-0. After
Mont's kickoff Wilkes started a
passin"- attack which was clicking
as Eddie Davis hit Ron Fitzgerald
on a beautiful 50 yd. pass. Davis'
next pass was intercepted by Mike
Lashendock in the end zone to stop
the threat at the quarter. B.H.-6
W.C.-0.
Midway through the second
quarter Andrew Breznay intercepted one of Lashendock's passes at
midfield and returned it to the 30.
On the next play Davis hit end
Paul Gronka in the end zone for
the T.D. to tie the score. The conversion by Davis was wide. B.H.-6;
W.C.-6. After Davis' ki ckoff t he
ball game settled down to a midfield affair until half-time.
The Huskies came out growling
for the second half and it semmed
to pay off as Hont carried Davis '
kickoff back to the midfield stripe.
On the play Wilkes lost Captain
Ed Davis with a broken leg. Two
plays from scrimmage garnered
12 yards and there Osevala shook
loose for 38 yards to the 10 yard
line where Bernie Mont, Lehman
halfback, made the touchdown,
line plunge for the extra point
was good to make it B.H.-13; W.C.-6.
On the first play of the final
quarter, Fitzgerald galloped forty
yards to the 50 yard line only to
have it nullified for clipping which
put them back to the 6 yard line.
Two plays failed to click and Tait's
punt went off the side and out of
bounds on his own 30 yard line
where the Maroon and Gold took
over. Groover netted one off tackle and Charlie Casper, Belfonte
halfback, scampered off 11 yards
to the 18. He then raced around
left end for the Huskies 3rd touch down and then proceeded to kick
the extra point. B.H.-20; W.C.-6.
Cumens kicked off to Elias of
Wilkes and 4 plays later the Coat—
esville end recovered a fumble, his
second one of the day, on the 45
yard line. Bob Dippi went back to
pass on the first down and threw
to Cumens who made a sensational
catch on the Wilkes' 20 yard line.
Bob Tilberg, freshman halfback,
picked up four yards through the
middle and then galloped around
left end for 18 yards and Bloomsburg's fourth touchdown of the
ball game. Casper's placement was
good and the Huskies led 27-6.
The game ended a few plays later
with Bloomsburg in possession at
midfield,
Coach Jack Yohe used his men
freely throughout the game with
many men seeing action even with
the new rule which puts a check
on substitutions.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT
by BILL BITTNER
LINC STILL, THE "QVD PRO" . . . . Dave Linkchorst, as good an

athlete as Bloomsburg has ever enjoyed, has signed with the Boston
whirlwinds to play professional basketball. This team will tour the Far
East playing against the world-famous Harlem Globe Trotters. The
"Old Pro," as he was tabled by his teammates, heard a lot of whistles
toot while he displayed his athletic ability on College Hill, in becoming
the first Husky to win a varsity award in every sport for four years.
Dave j oined the team in Chicago last week.
YOHE EXHIBITS STRONG BENCH . . . . Coach Jack Yohe has won
the admiration, to say nothing of the gratitude, of his opponents in the
first two games of the season as he has cleared his bench in an effort
to hold his teams scoring to a minimum and at the same time allowing
his charges to post an enviable record. Yohe has not let his first string
backs parade too freely for touchdowns as in evidence of the scores
made by Casper, Tillburg, Groover and Shuda, all reserve ballcarriers.
These scores represent exactly one half of the Huskies' output of T.D.'s,
the other four being counted for in the persons of Misters Mont, Browning, and Osevala ( twice). Going still further in the scoring department,
we find that Casper has booted four extra points to put the Husky
Bench, Inc. up in the scoring department. In both the Wilkes and
Mansfield games, Yohe has called on no less than four (if you don't
believe me, count 'em yourself) quarterbacks — Lashendock, Dipipi ,
Reese and Kwaitkowski — to run the club on the field. Now if you
don't think four is a lot of quarterbacks, just sit down some Sunday
morning, take out your favorite sports page and look for some teams
that use four quarterbacks in one ball game. They are about as scarce
as people who want to bet on the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the World
Series.
MONT SIDELINED . . . . Bernie Mont, the Lehman Township triplethreat halfback, aggravated an old football inj ury to his shoulder that
will keep him out of the line-up for at least two weeks and maybe
longer. It is the hope of the team that Bernie will be ready for call
next Saturday when the Huskies lay their 24 consecutive wins on Mount
Olympus before the powerful Scranton Royals, a team which played
their best ball of the season last year when they turned the College
Heroes back at Scranton by the score of 33-7. Mont was the third best
punter among the nation's small colleges last season and is a good bet
to make a birth on the All State Teachers College team this season.
FRESHMAN TALENT SHOW . . . . Of the forty-five men that comprise the 1953 edition of the football Huskies no less than twenty-one
are freshmen. Last spring, graduation took Russ Verhousky, an All
State end; Charlie Brennan and Gene Morrison, two more outstanding
ends ; hard charging Ardell Zeigenfuse, a rugged guard ; and quarterback Dave Linkchorst. But this wasn't all, Uncle Sam decided to issue
the call to Tony Dipaulo, Morie Shultz, Bob Bottorf , Ted Rainey and
Bo Rainey to make an even deeper mark in the Husky roster. With all
these important names in the '52 season gone, Coach Yohe has had to
call on many of these newcomers for key assignments in order to keep
the wheels of his grid machine meshing in proper order. A few of the
outstanding plebes who have come to our attention are : Harry Hughes,
Williamsport tackle looking good on defense; Les Shuda, a tank-like
fullback from Mt. Carmel; Charles "The Friendly Ghost" Casper, a
hard running scat back from Bellefonte; Bob Tillburg, another goodlooking Kane prospect; and Bob Dipipi, an Old Forge signal caller just
to mention a few of the new Husky hopefuls.
A LOOK AT TRENTON . . . . The Bloomsburg Huskies will toss their
most cherished record, of not having been beaten in the last twentythree meetings on Mount Olympus, right into the laps of the visiting
Trenton State Teachers College in an effort to extend the streak that
has been mounting since post-war days. There have been no marks on
the loss side of the Husky ledger since football was resumed here at
the college in 1946, with the exception of the one registered by Coach
Vincent Rambo's Red Raiders from Shippensburg, but that was played
at Athletic Park here in Bloomsburg.
Last Saturday the Trenton Teachers held a weak New Briton team
to a 6-6 tie, at which time they exhibited a slow, hard-running backfleld
and & rough playing line. Player for player, they will be older and
heavier than the locals but are still rated a three-touchdown underdog.
SCRANTON NEXT???? . . . . The way it looks from here, Coach Pete
Carlesslmo will be the most serious threat to the Husky win streak
when he imports his University of Scranton team here next Saturday.
He will bring with him Sophomore Jim Lavory, 180-pound sprinter who
forces the issue from a half back slot. Lavery produced the Royals only
TD two weeks ago when they were turned back by Youngstown College
at Scranton by the score of 12-7. Another man expected to make the
trip, and it won't be just for the ride, is Big Sam Just, the 240-pound
tackle who was a defensive star against Bloom last year. The quarterbacking will be handled by Joe McGlyn, who will have his mates operating from the T formation. McGlyn is the only signal-caller ready for
action because of inj uries to his two replacements who are reported out
for the season, Last week the Royals were idle, but they will traveV'to
La trobe on Sunda y to play St. Vincent' s.

Another Line ? ? ? • ? • •

by Arnie Gnringer

Since this is the firs t edition of this so called column ( and probably
Iho last) , a small dissertation is needed to explain the reasoning used
to arrive at a satisfactory title. Since my predecessor, C.C., wrote one
of the finest columns anywhere, this one will be a little sub-par , so
Under Currents comes in handy. Another reason ; because this column
will be written on behalf of the minority, th e title can be beneficial to
non drinkers. For once you can say, "U.C. for me " and no one wiH hiss
or boo and think you mean some terrible beverage.
Well anyway, this lias been the first paragraph of the year , saying'
absolutely nothing and we're oft" to a dandy start.
First on the agenda. "Welcome home Grads." It certainly is swell
to see those familiar smiling fa*ces and those slightly balding heads.
Please keep in mind when and if you read this, ^.hat it doesn't mean the
school is going to the dogs. I'm sure if you'll make a closer examination,
that it isn't the column that's so poor, but the quality of paper they 're
using these days. One reminder. The dance tonigh t is held in your
honor. Let's see about 1400 ot you up at the gym tonight.
Let's talk for a bit on the sport that's on everyone's mind. That
grand old game called football. All you folks who haven't seen the
Huskies in action thus far this year are probably wondering how we'll
do. Well, just put your minds at ease because we have one of the finest
small college teams around and there has been word, by way of the
grape vine, that a certain coach at one of our sister institutions near
Philly lef t for Bermuda after the Mansfield game.
Right now might be a goad time to get something off one's chest.
Whoever played Taps for Eddie Davis of Wilkes, one of the greatest
competi t or s we've run up against for a long while, after he refractured
his leg which had j ust healed, should, have had both of his legs broken,
and that horn shoved down his throat. That's not the way we show
sportsmanship here at B.S.T.C. Try blowing it when the rest are, and
help matters a little bit.
We have some fast young gentlemen on our football team. Browning, Casper, and others, but concentrate on John Koch, for a while today
and watch him eat up those yards between the bench and the huddle.
Swivel hips, too.
Don't miss the West Chester game. A "Pete Ferrili Day" may be
planned, and Al Chiscon will don a band uniform and chase Roongo the
III the length of the field in memory of his old room-mate who did the
100 yd. dash in 9 see. flat.
To Betz and Angus: Don't feel bad. The darts were probably loaded.
Anyway next year Panichello Will run the fair right out of town for you.
(#%$&#" *, gimme my panda!)
Be on the lookout for Mr. Touchdown, U.S.A. because Uncle Burley
is back in full splendor to give the girls a thrill.
If there ever was a Sarg. in the army who had a headache, the one
at Camp Jordan in Georgia probably does, because all crowded into the
same camp (the name of which is being-changed to Hess') are: Jack
(All American) Klittenmeyer, Harry (Howdy) Brookes, Jim (in the
downtown auditorium tonight) Ciavaglia, Charlie (drink 'em down)
Pease , and Ted (blister belly) Rainey. How could we lose a war?
Congrats to the 50 odd Fans who drove, walked, or hop-scotched to
Mansfield and made more noise than our entire rooting section at the
Wilkes game. Maybe you think the boys don't hear the cheers, but look
what it did to Bob (104 yds.) Groover. By the way, how can a little guy
like Von Drach make so much noise?
One thing* has been bothering us up here at North Hall. It figures
that if a curtain is blowing in front of a T.V. set due to windy comyons, pulling: the window down would probably fix things sufficiently.
dit
Why then , did Panichello have to pound the window down on the curtains. All we want is facts sir, just facts, we're trying to say we're j ust
playing a hunch sir, just a hunch. This story was true. The names have
not been changed because John doesn't need protection.
Are Charlie Pope and "Starchy " Betz really trying to sue who can
do the most walking or are they trying to wear out the back streets
of Bloomsburg ?
Hats off to Barney Osevala, the old war daddy, who, despite a
painful leg injury, scored the second touchdown at Mansfield i and set
fi re to the (earn. Some of the kids might go the distance once, in' a while,
but if you want 4 or 5 yds, *per carry, give the ball to the Os.
It is rumored that Dave ( Joe Gillis) Skammer, and Mike Homick
are turning the Magee Carpet Co. into a brewery. They learned all
about the business this summer while working ?
Well, this has got to go to press Tuesday at 7 p.m. and it is now
Tuesday at 3:30 a.m. and the eyes no longer function so . . . . . . . . .
One more thing ; a lot of folks will probably say that U.C. is all
about North Hall people. Since that is where Yours Truly abides, that's
where the scoop comes from, so please, if anyone hears or sees anything
that can be told , get in touch with Room 195 and it shall be told.
Until next time,
Bo good to each other,
U.C.

Obviously, such a long-term survey makes available much information relative to terms of service, salaries, and likelihood of employment
and trends in employmest in various professional fields , all of which is
interesting and valuable in the guidance program of a teachers college.
Such a study brings together a body of information extremely valuable to the promotional program of the state teachers college, especially
in the reference to the legislative program relative to state teachers
colleges and the appropriation of state funds.
The foregoing outcomes would seem to j ustify the time, the money,
and the effort put into the years of work involved in such surveys. It
should be tho apparent duty, therefore, of both student and teacher
alike, to acquaint oneself with these studies and to know and appreciate
their value. Such an attitude will make for more efficiency in collecting
data and a better understanding of Placement Departments.

Miss Weir Studied in
Summer Workshop

Registration Day for freshmen
brought suitcases, trunks, and
more suitcases; what confusion
there was when everyone was trying to find what to do and where
to go. The poor, green frosh was
lost amid all this turmoil of moving into college. Finally an upperclassman came to his rescue ; arid
the "frosh", after stammering aa
while, asked directions to unload
his baggage. Soon the baggage was
taken care of and the freshman
was sent to Navy Hall to register.
Which one of these buildings is
Navy Hall? Up on the hill was a
group of people. Perhaps that was
the building. Yes, the rest of the
class was waiting here to go in
and be registered.
Since registration was entirely
new to most, everyone had to follow those in front. The registration consisted of filling out information cards and—paying money 1
Every freshman was baffled by
how quickly his money left his
wallet. His mouth hung open, because of the fact that he didn't
know where it all was going. But
with the little receipts given, everyone was able to check up on
his bank account.
Continuing through the line the
freshman was faced by members
of the faculty. How was he to act
in front of them ? What should he
do? Soon he got through that
part of the line, and it was all
finished—what a relief!
Next came getting into the full

wards, Historian.
was taken up ,by tests, parties, and
acquainting himself with college.
A few of the things that fascinated the freshmen were the rush at
mealtime and the rush at the post
office.
Within a few days, the "frosh"
walked around with-a little more
intelligent look on his face, because now he was oriented on location of places and what to do.
It was easy to learn about the
campus, because of the time spent
on ft. Kind, friendly, and genial
upperclassmen helped to acquaint
the freshmen in methods of procedure and behavior on campus.
The next week brought dinks,
customs, classes, and books ! More
confusion was evident on the part
of the freshman but that was soon
remedied. Short skirts, no makeup, and high heels consisted of the
fresman's dress for the two weeks
of specified customs. Still links and
signs are seen on freshmen walkin g around.
Is there a state of confusion
now ? Of course not, now the freshmen are beginning to act dignified
—like college students, Most confusion has been ironed out ond adjustments have been made. All the
freshmen on the campus give a
vote of thanks to the upporclaaBmen for the greatly needed help
and guidance. Their untiring efforts have helped us to make life
at Bloomsburg State Teachers College our home!

Miss Clara Weir, speech instructor here at B.S.T.C, spent her
summer studying and working with
speech and hearing cases at the
summer session of Syracuse Uni*
versity.
She attended a cerebral palsy
workshop headed by Dr. William
Cruickshank, professor at the University, and directed by other top
people in the field of speech and
hearing. It was one of five such
workshops in the United States
this summer.
Miss Weir was one of many interested teachers who worked in
the quarter of a million dollar
building for speech and hearing
and the exceptional child. Supplied
with everything in the latest machines and equipment, the group
worked as a team, checking and
interviewing, and sometimes examing children with unknown
complications, The place of work
was located near two hospitals and
had twelve medical doctors associated with it.
The workshop was sponsored by
the New York State Association
for Crippled Children, Incorporated. This was the fourth year in
which it has cooperated with the
National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults, Incorpora ted,
and Syracuse University in presenting the Workshop on Problems
of Cerebral Palsy.

Observe Traditional Customs

Once again , the u pper classmen
are sporting that fiendish look in
their eyes, as they gaze down upon
a motley crew of unsuspecting
Frosh—Customs are here, better
than ever!!
Since September 14, Fresh men
have been given "the treatment"
by an appointed Customs Committee, consisting of both day and
dorm students, with Roy Rosenberger and Judy Stephens acting
as co-chairmen.
From the childish foolishness of
"Kiddies' Day " to the unbearable
serenity of "A l>ay of Silence",
the avid plebes played their parts
admirably, much to the enj oyment
of the Upperclassmen. Some of
the Customs requirements were to
carry a toothbrush and tooth paste
in view, to sport an unbroken pretzel, to supply Upperclassmen with
Kleenex and matches, to reply
properly when questioned about
the time of day, and other noble
deeds the Frosh were just too
eager to do.
But for those poor unfortunates
who dared to defy the C. C.'s authority, a trial was held to determine their fate. Penalties brought
many a howl and scowl!! Tony
Christino, as h e di splayed two
pieces of bread, indicated on an
oversized sign that he was a "ham

sandwich", while Don Samsel wore
a sign insisting he was a "fourletter man—D-O-P-E." Because he
treaded on Senior Walk, two shoe
boxes covered the feet of "Buzzy " II.
Wool. In Assembly, Jack Fletcher,
The Kingston Kid, gave specific
directions on how to reach the III.
Kingston stadium, while "Deats"
Stanton and Suzie Hughes offered
the group an up-to-date picture on
what was showing at the local
theatres.
All violators who were n ot at
the private hearing will be dealt
with at a public trial which will
take place in the near future. The
annual practice of kicking "Tra- IV.
dition Tree", which is also on the
agenda, will officially close Customs of '53.
Customs Committee members include: Roy Rosenberger, Robert
Brush, Robert Shaneman, James
Nicholas, Donald Carey, Harvey
Boughner, Oren Baker, Joseph
Kinder, Donald Smith, William Jacobs, Richard Forschner, Robert
Oney, Robert Cummens, Robert
Garrison, Judy Stephens, M ary

Three Prominent Lecturers
In Assembly; Dramatists
Present Shavian Romance
Thus far this year B.S.T.C. has
had three speakers in assembly
each of whom gave interesting, enlightening, and amusing addresses on subj ects pertinent to us as
colleg e st u dent s, as future teachers, and as cictizens of a democracy.
The first speaker was Frank
Rounds born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky . He attended Phillips Andover Academy at Boston,
Massachusets and later was awarded his B.S. at Princeton and M.A.
at Harvard. Mr. Rounds worked
on the staff of the United States
White House Correspondent. During the war he served as a press
offi cer in the Navy. After the war
he was the Far Eastern Correspondent of World Report. Having
such wide experience of world aff air , and a Knowledge of Russia
and its language, Rounds was
picked by Admiral Kirk and Ambassor Kennen for the position of
Embassy Attache in Russia. Having recenlty returned , Mr. Rounds
is lecturing, and is also working
on a book concerning his Russian
experiences. His lecture to our
student body dealt with his personal experien ces in Russia. This
subj ect gave the student body
grea t insight into life behind the
iron curtain.
Russell Curry is a facinating
lecturer on Social Etiquette. Using a light touch and a sense of
humor, the problems presented
were amusing as well as helpful.
Mr. Curry seemed to stress the
correct by adlibing and used caricatures for showing the incorrect.
Since he calls for questions from
the floor , the trend of the program may change from time to
time. Mr. Curry 's subj ect, "It' s a
D ate", concerned a boy-girl date
and it was very timely since the
Fresman Reception was held later
that week.
Jes se Et u art , one of the finest
and most original regional writero
of contemporary American fiction ,
told the students of his experience
in life and particularly of his
teaching days.
Mr. Stuart , the author of such
book s as "Good Spirit of Laurel
Ridg e", "Taps For Private Fussie ", The Thread That Runs So
True", and many poems is now a
foremost lecturer. In his message
to us , Mr. Stuart stressed the importance of the teaching profession. His yarns of teaching often
portrayed the biiter aspects, yet
in the end the good points of teaching stood out vividly. His final
comment about the preferred C
student with A character left us
all w i t h lifted spi r it abou t the
teaching profession.
On Tuesday, October 6, B.S.T.
C. was again entertained by the
Hedgerow Theatre Players. Tho
play presented was "Arms and
The Man " by Bernard Shaw.
This production of Shaw's ironic romance, directed by Rose Sch-

L5?ffiLG :«Ai: CM CMJi 'f iteS

ulman , contin ues t o be one of the
most popular plays of the Hedgerow repertory.
The voice of the arch satirist of
the modern stage is heard in light
and less • philosophical tones in
"Arms And The Man " th an in
many of the plays in which the
target of his wit is a subject less
serious than war.
His satire on heroes and hero
worship is nonetheless pjangent. In
the days when Shaw wrote this
play, war in the Balkans was
likely to be thought of as comical
or at least romantic, and his own
play was promptly seized upon as
the libretto for the Strauss musical, "The Chocolate Soldier ". That
we no longer regard war anywhere as particularly funny or
romantic adds point to the Shavian lines.
Rose Schulman has transformed and refreshed a jjlay that has
been in. the Hedgerow repertory
for a quarter of a century which
is worth studying. Her fertile dramatic inagination has discovered
new potentialities in the well
worn script, and her command of
the wellsprings of humor in various characters gives her most
daring innovations the validity of
authentic human life.

Inside C*G.A.

( Continued from ' page 2)
Hoch will serve as faculty sponsors. President Crisci also appointed a committee consisting of the
five C.G.A. officers, Merlyn Jones,
Hope Home, Dean Hoch, and myself to study the problems of collecting payments in addition to
Community Activities by students,
from students when registering.
In response to a request made
by the Pennsylvania Manufacturer s Ass ociation, Presid ent Cri s ci
appointed a committee composed
of William Jacobs , cha irm an, Edward Connolley, Har r iet Willi am s ,
Miss Macdonald, and Mr. Hoch to
select an outstanding Junior to be
guest of the association at a convention.
The problem of books being
missing from racks in the halls
was brought to Council's attention
by Miss Macdonald. It was felt
that the problem could best be
solved at present by pointing out
that the racks are lor c othintf
and not for books.
College Council recommended to
the administration that the proj ection equipment in Carver Auditorium should be repaired in order
that students might again enjoy
Friday nigh t motion pictures. An
affirmative answer was given by
President Andruss.
We envy other people their luck ,"
but congratulate ourselves on our
smartness.
