Recent Elections

There's no doubt that the student body at B.S.T.C. is a forward-looking group, and here's
even more proof—each class has
already elected officers to serve
for the coming year. With much

small-scale politicianship, the re-

section contains appropriate graduation messages from prominent
leaders of the Commonwealth and
College. Names of graduating seniors appear for the first time under their pictures for easier identification. The block system of
grouping senior pictures has also
been eliminated for the same
reason.
The "Who 's Who" section has
been expanded to its due importance. A new plan of having separate pictures of organization officers and advisers has been partially put into effect. In all, a total of
over 700 pictures appear in the
publication. For the first time, the
yearbook is being circulated to the
entire student body, faculty, and
administration. By increasing the
amount of books sold, the price
per book was lowered from four
dollars to one and a half.

The huge diamond on her left hand sparkled 'fiercely as Alieta impatiently smoothed the wrinkles from the billowy skirt of her diaphanous traveling dress. The irridescen t folds glimmered and shone in the
gold-orange light that is commonly found on the planet Venus. A quick
glance at her space calendar reassured her, as did the one she darted
at her platinum wrist chronometer. Yes, today was Hesperus 57th, 1257
A.D., and the time was 26:71 V. S. T. She had only 16 Venusian minutes
to wait until the space ship on which she had a reservation would blast
off — its destination, Earth !
The ultra-modern interior of the Trans-Planetary-Airways terminal
reflected the same orange glow that shimmered upward in diszying
waves from the rock-based runways outside. Spectacular posters along
the walls urged all space travelers to spend their vacations on beautiful
Venus, only sixty-seven million miles from the sun . . . for the sunbath
of their lives, for the tan of their lives, for the rest of their lives.
Crowds of people milled about, securing reservations, checking luggage,
buying space helmets at the last minute, and making sure of tickets.
Suddenly a piercing voice cut through the confusion.
"Rocket 247 now loading on runway 6. Blast-off time — three minutes. Last call! Please report to runway 6 — Rocket 247 preparing for
departure to Earth."
In the mad rush immediately following the announcement, Alieta
found herself carried by the surging crowd up the ramp to the rocket.
In a few seconds she was comfortable settled in the proper seat, breathing a sigh of combined relief and apprehension.
To herself she thought, "Earth, here I come, ready or not. Eons
and eons I've waited for this moment, and now I'm on my way — and I
almost can't believe it. What will it be like — will I be happy — will it
look like my dreams?" These and other fragments tumbled through
her voune mind.
Actually it had been only three Venusian years ago that the handsome young space pilot from Earth had saved her from being bitten by
a hydra monster. Now she was on her way to become his bride, h appy
and excited at the prospect of the glorious days ahead of her, her
youthful soul overflowing with enthusiasm.
She opened the crystal compact Roger had sent her last year to
celebrate the complete eclipse of the moon. Her rosy skin and violet
eyes contrasted beautifully with the white-blond hair which hung in
waves to her shoulders. A picture of warmth and loveliness to greet a
promising young man.
The 26 million miles sped by, and with only 40 thousand miles remaining, Alieta reached for the shawl her mother had carefully woven
from the fine white feathers of her pet egret, Mercury. She shivered a
little, and a tremor of nervous tension skittered up her spine. In her
state of excited anticipation, she failed to notice the increasing, stiffness
of her usually flexible f ing ers.
They found her sitting in the same position later at the T. P.A.
spaceport on Earth — Roger, worried when she failed to appear, and the
capt ain , who wanted no difficulty concerning his passengers.
The coroner in his official report stated that "the young lady obviously succumbed due to an insufficient amount of heat for the maintenance of normal body temperature."
,
"It 's a pity," went the gossip.
"They say her skin was completely blue," continued the whispers,
"and she was frozen solid, like ice !
"That's what he deserves, if our Earth girls aren't good enough for
him," said the more vicious. "Serves him right, importing a girl from
Venus. He should have known what would happen — hmmmph, 26 million miles farther away from the sun. No wonder she froze."
And Roger could only think, "Ice — cold, blue, and stiff. My fault.
But it happens so rarely. Why did it have to be Alieta? Oh, my darling,
why you?"
But Alieta would never answer, lying deep within the walls of her
eternal earthen home. The only thing left now was the massive diamond
resting in the palm of Roger's hand, burning even more fiercely than
before, holding within itself the beautiful frozen fires which were as
cold and lifeless as the girl herself.

Fa culty Member Has
Poem Published

The 1953-54 edition of the National Poetry Anthology compiled
by the National Poetry Association contains a poem, "Harvest ,"
by Russell Schlefcher, of the faculty of the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College. This is the latest of Mr. Schleicher's poems to
appear in print.
Last year, Mr. Schleicher's "Twilight" was published in "America
•• Sings," a publication of the National Poetry Association. These
publications are composed of materials submitted by college teachers and librarians.
In past years, the Harbinger
Press has published a number of
Mr. Schleicher's poems, while some
of his articles have appeared in
Nature magazine, Clearing House,
American Childhood, Journal of
Education, and the Pennsylvania
School Journal. At the present
time, Mr. Schleicher is writing
several articles for future publication and a children 's book is partially complete.

Alpha Psi Pled gees
Initi ated Recentl y

The social rooms of Science Hall
were the scene of the Alpha Psi
Omega initiation on Wednesday,
May 7, at 7 P.M. The national coeducational dramatic organization,
the local chapter of which is under
the direction of Mr. Boyd Buckingham, is an honor society for
those doing a high standard of
work in college dramatics for at
least two years and having a high
scholastic standing.
The initiates include: David
Hines, Doyle Lynn, Glenna Gebhard, Elizabeth Adams, Avery
Williams, Toni Czerwinski, Wylla
Mae Bowman, Jo Hester, and
Joyce Lundy. They were required
to know the Greek alphabet, 12
lines from Shakespeare, the names
of 25 chapters of the organization
in other colleges, and the names
and addresses of the national officers. After the old members were
convinced of the thorough knowledge of these facts by the new
pledgees, a formal initiation was
held with a ceremony and an
oath, The meeting was concluded
with refreshments.
The following evening, Thursday, May 6, at 6:30 the annual
banquet of the local branch of
Alpha Psi Omega was held at Pine
Barn Inn in Danville. Both old
members and initiates attended.

By Joan Curilla

Graduation weekend comes with
a swirl of gowns, black gowns
with mortar boards—and the others. Of course, we're interested in
the others. Yours truly, the roving
reporter, made a quick trip to the
dorm and elsewhere to bring yoti
a preview of senior ball attire.
White is traditional for graduation and we will see a beautiful
array of snowy puffs Thursday
night. Ann Gengenbach chose ballerina length with tier upon tier
of pleated net and eyelot organdy.
Judy Bauer turns sophistocate in
white lace over pleated tulle.
White paper taffeta made a hit
with Harriet Williams, whose gown
has the new pantaloon-puff hem,
and Janet Hughes, with sprinkles
of spring flowers. Nancy Tovey's
white gown has sparkling flecks
of gold on the bodice. Silver slivers brighten Jean Ann Evans'
white net. White net over yellow
t aff eta with sa tin ribbon trim
makes a dreamy waltz length
gown for Mary Ann Martz.
Let's not forget the men who
will be wearing white dinner jack ets with maroon bow ties. I could
write all the senior boy 's n ames
here, bu t it wou ldn 't be very practical.
We'll see daubs of color on the
dance floor too. Shirley Walters'
gown is definitely different in past el plaid , and Mae Neugard has a
beautiful rose print halter-top
dancing dress. Ann Bittner will be
wearing a bit of green fluff with
dainty ruffles on the skirt. Another beruffled dress is Rose Marie
Gran t's powder blue net. The bottom flounce turns up the back and
terminates at the waist.. Olive
Jean chooses olive green—Fedrigon will be outstanding Thursday
night in this odd colored satin and
tulle evening dress. Toni Czerwinski will be wearing a dress of
white net over wisteria. Powder
blue organdy embroidered with
white is the choice of Shirley
Rinehi mer. Mary Jo Williams'
gown is powder blue also—but is
all a-glitter with silver. Street
length blue net over taffeta will
be worn by Arlene Moyer. Marie
Parrish has a gown of shrimp net;
the skirt billows with three tiers.
Sarae Uhrich has a new handkerchief skirt on her powder blue
ballerina. Another blue will be
seen on a halter-top version on
Jean Newhart. Betty Hoover
Wolfe will be pretty in pink trimmed with black velvet straps.
Farewell to you, fair Seniors!
Have fun and lots and lots of
success.

Science Club Plants
Redwood Trees Again

Again the Science Club has
sponsored an attempt to grow California Redwood trees on our campus. Ten Sequoia Redwood, five
Sequoia Semper Virens, and five
Sequoia gigantia have been placed
in various spots on the campus.
It is hoped that at least one of
each variety will survive our climate which is normally rather inhospitable to Redwood trees.
The Science Club held its last
meeting of the semester in the
form of a weiner roast at the fire
place on Navy Hall field. President
Oren Baker presided at the business meeting at which elections
were held. Those elected were:

She became engaged this past
weekend. Loads of happiness, Alta.
Another coed who has recently
become engaged is Peggy Gearhart. The best of everything in
the future .
More birthdays this week. Two
girls who are going to stop counting the years after this birthday
because they feel twenty years
are quite a number of years are:
Joan Rabb and Muriel Neilson.

many of these girls have already
signed contracts for September
j obs. Here's wishing our seventeen

Bloomsburg Road 1954 Track Team
Efforts in Vain
Against Colonels

The Huskies continued their
road efforts when they met the
Colonels of Wilkes College at
Wilkes-Barre May 6. The Huskies
apparently hadn't forgotten what
they did the day before against
Mansfield as they committed five
errors, but were out hit in a chilly
May afternoon contest dropping a
9-5 decision.
" Charley Kwiatkoski, after pitching a very effective relief stint
j ust six days before at Millersville,
got the mound assignment, but
found rough going right from the
first inning. In the first stanza ,
Rick Ferris led off with a line
single; Richards, in an attempt to
advance Ferris, laid down the
bunt. Ski came in to field the
sacrifice and couldn't find the
h andle, so all hands were safe.
Len Bartroney then singled home
Ferris, and the Colonels established a lead they weren't to give up
until the Huskies' h alf of t he
third. Ski walked in the top of
the third and was advanced to
second on Terry Zackowski's sacrifice. Chuck Casper then got a
free ticket to first as Joe Sikora
hit him on the foot with a pitched
ball. Bobby Cumens then came
through with one of the three hits
he was to collect for his afternoon's efforts. With the bases
loaded and 2 down, Jimmy Starr
lined a single to left and Dick
Moss tried for a shoe string catch,
but missed it, and three runs
scored. Wilkes came back in the
bottom of the fourth as Rick Ferris led off with a ball that was hit
right back to Ski ; again he wasn 't
able to field it in time, so Wilkes
had a base runner with nobody
out. Ski got the next two men
without any trouble, but Trosko
and McNew followed each other
with slashing singles, and Wilk es
narrowed the lead to 3-2.
The Wilkes half of the fourth
was slightly less than fatal. Eddie
Davis led off with a sharp single
to left , and was followed by another hard hit single by Moss. Ski
then got Sikora on a pop-up to
Cumens. Ferris, who had been on
twice before, was purposely passed
to set up the possible double play.
Richards hit the ball to shortstop
Chuck Casper, who had only one
play, and that was at third allowing one run to score. With two
down and the score knotted at
three all, Bartroney singled scoring two more. This was followed
by a single by Trosko, putting runners on first and third. McNew
set the final blow when he cracked
a tremendous triple over Starr's
head, scoring two more, and
Wilkes led 7-3.
Ski held on retiring the side and
giving Bobby Dipipi a chance to
warm up to come on in relief in
the fifth. In four innings Ski was
hit hard , giving up nine hits, while
the only walk he gave was the
intentional pass, and struck out
one. Dipipi gave only three hits in
the next four after having pitched
better than six innings the day
before.
The locals gathered ten hits off
two Wilkes pitchers : Joe Sikora
pitched into the seventh when he
was relieved by Ken McNew. All
ten hits were off Sikora. Chuck
Casper and Bobby Cumens had
three each. Ron Steinbach, Jimmy
Starr , George Derk, and Bobby
Dipipi had one each to aid the
locals' fated cause.

Powerful Scranton
Team Downs Huskies

The powerful Scranton Royals,
grabbing 11 of 14 first places
handed the Bloomsburg Huskies
their first loss of the track and
field season. The B.S.T.C. lads just
didn't have the depth to contend
with the speedy upstate boys.
The Huskies could capture only
two first places and a tie for another. Keith Weiser took the high
j ump without much opposition, and
Jerry Kaufman got off a beautiful
44 ft. heave of the 16 lb. shot put
to earn himself the other first
place. Larry Bush was held to a
three-way tie for first with two
Royals at a 10 ft. height. The
Huskies came up with five seconds
though and with a little more
effort could have been first's —
Jerry Kaufman was the leading
point getter for the Huskies with
a firs t and a secon d for eight
points.
The Huskies next meet is with
Cheyney down there and it looks
to be an exciting meet.

SOME NEW PROPOSALS FOR TEACHERS' CONFERENCE . . . .
On Monday, May 3, representatives of ten of the fourteen State Teachers College conference met in Harrishurg to discuss the eligibility rules
of the conference. Bloomsburg and only three other Teachers Colleges
belong to the NCAA which sets up strict rules governing the eligibility
of athletes. In the case of some of our Tutor rivals, they were counting
only the actual semesters, or years of competion , as the years of used
up eligibility. For instance, if a player were to get injured before the
first game of a particular athletic campaign, and did not compete during
that season, he could remain in college another semester and compete
for the season he was sidelined because of inj ury; this would give hifcn '

experience without playing. So after their fourth year of -college had
been completed, they could remain for another semester and still be
eligible, this semester actually being their ninth semester of eligibility.
Under the new proposed rule which needs only to be approved by the
Board of President of the Teachers Colleges, the conference will limit
each boy to eight semesters, regardless of the circumstances he might
encounter in college. This rule would prevent the freshman year from
being a prepping year for varsity competition, and at the same time not
counting as a year of used-up eligibility. This of course would be in

I guess for the maj ority, this will be the last column of Under
Currents you'll be reading for this year, (stop smiling) Although one
will come out on Alumni day, most of you will be home in the nice warm
sun, and those lucky enough to have gotten a j ob will be hard at work.
For a slight fee of $3.98, I will see that the last issue is sent to your
door. Be the first in your neighborhood to get one, be the envy of your
pals. Send for your copy of the M. & G. now. Offer not good outside
vj *O»x \..

To the Seniors. Certainly we're going to miss you all. With the
brand of teaching we know you're going to turn out, it will be about
87% easier for us to get job s. With such people as Chiscon, Crisci,
Jacobs, and Andrews, and the rest, Bloomsburg can't miss getting a
good placement percentage in the armed forces.
I want to thank two persons without whose help this column never
would have been possible. Their cute little ways of messing things up,
and their genial manner after being jerked about it made fine material.
Now you know and I know that I've exaggerated a lot of things, and I
hope you haven't gotten the wrong impression of two great guys, my
buddies, Angus and Panichello.
Now for some current affairs. For you who missed the comedy of
errors, the third floor girls dropped a close decision to the prospective
teachers from 4th floor by the amazing count of 23-22 in the first girls'
softball game of the year. I hear the alcohol (rubbing), hot water
bottles , and ice packs were really in evidence that evening.
Wish you could have seen the look on Dr. Englehardt's face when
Mrs. Beeman came into our Problems of Secondary Education class, and
searched under all the desks for her prodigal turtle which hadn't returned. It must have been a fine animal because she said she would
gladly trade two fine snakes for it.
Thanks to everybody who came to the Junior Prom and made our
male co-ed of the year crowning a success. When they chose a fellow
for personality, scholarship, athletic ability etc. believe me, they
couldn't have picked a better guy than one Bobby Cumens. (Good thing
looks did n't have anything to do with it or I'd have edged you out
Robert!!)
Who turned de hose on ? That was the theme song in Waller Hall
last week after the softball game. Investigation went on, but no one
had a point of order so the hearing's were closed. Nobody was found to
be a Red but I hear a couple people saw red. That roof needed washing
anyway.
They must have been using a two headed coin at the state track
meet because a lot of times our boys had to flip with a West Chester
trackman for a second or third place medal and you'd think out of about
five flips one might win one but we didn't.
At the time of this writing we (the Big Boys) j ust got finished
beating the Whiz kids in the semi-finals of the softball play-offs. I wish
I could say we'll beat Norwall, but the way Tuck's pitching it'll be
tough. ( Big Ed hasn't hit as far, I hope he starts.)
From what I hear, Joe Kwak has received threatening letters from
a secret society who thinks he has been too rowdy lately. They said
they were going to "take him for a ride." Joe retorted, "If I ever hit
those guys, they'll think they've been run over by a mob." Joe's about
ak big as a fair-sized mob, too.
To Jo Graeber, loads of luck with your turtles. I certainly hope
they came through the ordeal all right. Name one U. C. What is this
column coming too? Having to turn to turtles for materials.
Well , I guess I've written enough for this year, but before I close,
I want to thank each and everyone of you who has suffered through
these weekly or semi-monthly sessions with me. Thanks especially to
youse who were brave enough to tell me you liked something, even if
you didn't, and next year, with the help of Uncle Sam and Dean North
and Dean Hoch, I hope to be back with a few digs and puns for :he new
freshmen who might, perchance, read the first article anyway. I leave
with one fervent prayer. Please Angus and Panichello, come back, I
need you.
Till September
