Varsit y Queen at Danc e
Jazz Concert to
Be Presented by
RCA's Kaminsky
Sp okesmen for the SocialRecreation Committee announced
last week that plans are well underway to command the talents of
recording , artists Max Kaminsky
and his All-Stars—Jazz virtuosos
—for a concert and dance here
on February 1, 1955. Dick Bittner
and Mary Hoffecker , co-chairmen
of the committee, declared that
the contract is at the signing
stage.
Max Kaminsky, a he adliner in
the show-world, has been a featured artist with such outstanding
name bands as Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller and Benney Goodman. His band has played the top night clubs across the
country.
Kaminsky, oft en referr ed to as
"Mr. Jazz," has been acclaimed for
his exciting new interpretations of
standard j azz numbers, and has
played with every top jazz man in
the world. A famous trumpeter, he
has starred on many of Tommy
Dorsey 's RCA waxings, including
"That's a Plenty," "Ju da ," and "At
the Codfish Ball." His famous
trumpet was also heard on Artie
Sh aw's hit recording of "Begin
the Beguine."
Max formed his own all-star
group in 1945 and played the
country 's most famous music spots
such as the Savoy and Eddie Condon's club in Greenwich Village.
While playing at the Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village, he
almost single-handedly made "The
Saints Come Marchin' In " — the
very national anthem of Dixieland.
His designation of "Ivy League
Jazz Favorite" was the result of
his phenomenally successful concerts at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and other maj or colleges and
universities.
Kaminsky, the popularizer of
the original Dixieland Band, gave
many a disc j ockey his signature
theme in the national favorite recording of "Muskrat Ramble." He
has recorded with his all-star
group on Decca, Columbia, and
RCA Victor.
Max is known as the man who
brings his pulsating jazz beat to
music lovers exactly the way they
want it, with fire, drive and imagination. And Max Kaminsky and
his All Stars will be here at BSTC
on February 1, 1955.
In order to ensure each BSTC
student one of a limited number
of tickets available , the SocialRecreation Committee members
will soon begin to accept one half
of the one dollar admission fee
for this two-hour Jazz Concert
and Dance, as a guarantee on the
ticket. All students are urged to
pay their fifty cents as soon as
possible for a front row seat to
what promises to be the event of
the school year.

Day Women Hold
Buffet Luncheon
On Wednesday, October 27, the
freshman day girls were introduced to the wonders of a Day
Women 's Association buffet luncheon. They soon learned that since
the seniority rule is in effect , a
poor freshman has a mighty good
appetite by the time she reaches
the buffet table, which only makes
her appreciate the food more.
The luncheon, planned by Social
Chairman Shirley Redline and her
committee, was certainly worth
the long wait. About 60 girls enj oyed the delicious meal, with dinner music from Pat Dorsey's record collection, adding the finishing touch. The special guest at the
luncheon was Mrs, Elizabeth Miller, Dean of Women.
A party was held Wednesday,
November 3, honoring Shirley Redline on her 20th birthday . Dlann
Jones, Peggy Bartges, and Bertie
Knouse j oined in singing "Happy
Birthday1' to Shirley over birthday candles.

Chest X-R ay Unit
Again on Campus
On Wednesday, December 1, the
Department of Health Portable
X-Ray unit visited the BSTC campus to provide free X-Rays to all
who desired one. The unit operated from Navy Hall Auditorium
from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 and from *
1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Business
students aided in speeding the
flow of people through the auditorium and out to the mobile unit.
Cards were distributed in Freshman Health classes and were made
available at the Book Store to all
students desiring an X-Ray. Other
students who could not be present
at the stipulated times were asked
to contact Miss Mettler as every
effort was made to accommodate
all students.
All Seniors who were not XRayed last year, all Juniors, all
Freshman , and all other new students who were on the campus for
the first time were required to
have an X-Ray.
The only requirements made
were that people being X-Rayed
remove medals, necklaces, and
other metal that would show on
the X-Ray and that they did not
wear clothing with large metal
buttons.

Speech Clinic Opens Its Doors ? ? ?
On November 10, 1954, the Iota Chapter of Sigma Alpha Eta , National
Speech and Hearing Fraternity, sponsored its first annual Open
i
i House in the college's Speech and Hearing Clinc.
.The affair , consisting of hourly tours and half-hour movies, attracted an estimated one hundred and sixty people, including college students,
faculty members, (some of whom brought their elementary curriculum
classes), and high school potentials for a career in speech correction.
The tours, each of which was conducted by a speech clinician, consisted of valuable glimpses behind the scenes of clinical practice. Informative talks about case histories, hearing, sound recording, and the
I "one-way screen " were given; these were supplemented by the use of
: attractively arranged and completely employed audio-visual materials.
Under the chairmanship of Bob Lyon, the committees designed the
displays to make the public more fully aware of the numerous materials,
both scientific and literary, necessary to conduct a sound corrective program.
This writer took a late afternoon tour which started with a general
orientation by Avery Williams and a demonstration of the "one-way
screen " by Paul Volkman. A briefing of the displays ol various devices
employed was given by Doyle Lynn before we were escorted to a higher
level of-the Clinic where Alice Swartz explained the forms which make
up the "Case" folder . This accomplished discourse was followed by Charlotte Rummage 's verbal and applicatory demonstrations of the audiometer, as well as the newest type of hearing aid. The latter of these was
provided by Harry Beckley, owner of a hearing aid firm in Bloomsburg.
The oscilloscope, an instrument showing visually the changes ih a
varying voice current , was a highlight of the final circuit of the tour
to the sound recording department, where Al Davis gave an interesting
exposition on the instrument and on voice recording by tape and disc.
The oscilloscope was acquired for exhibition through the co-operation of
physical science instructor Dr. Harold H. Lanterman.
Two half-hour educational films, Your Voice and The Ears and Hearing, were supplied by Mr. Charles H. Henrie, head of the Audio-Visual
Library. Mr. Henrie also provided the projectionists from his audio-visual classes.
Much thought and spirited undertaking went into making the Open
House a successful venture. Special mention must be given to Mr. Herberholz, whose art department's colorful posters played a large part in
attracting visitors to the Open House.
No small measure of merit must go to Miss Clara Weir, adviser for
Sigma Alpha Eta and head of the Speech and Hearing Clinic. Her untiring effort in, and sincere dedication to, promoting the understanding
of speech and hearing therapy played a maj or part in one of the most
activities of the school year thus far.
TOP to TOE
BY TUCKEY
As always, a special occasion
brings out the special attractions
in the female wardrobe. 'Twas so
at the Varsity Club Dance. Many
taffetas; failles and tissue-paper
taffetas, all displayed in beautiful
shades, caught one's eye as the
girls whirled around the dance
floor.
Scooped neckes, V-necks, f u ll
skirts and three-quarter-length
sleeves seem to be the style this
year.
Sue Hoffman was the perfect
example of -this in her deep wine
velveteen dress with an empire
waistline. Her very full skirt
stood way, way out and looked
especially nice on such a small,
petite freshman.
Speaking of velvet, Ja n Fer en ce
made a beautiful picture in her
bright red dress. The scooped
n eck , empire waist and small capped sleeves were highli ghted by
one of the fullest skirts ever seen.
Jan topped her gorgeous dress
with a small band of the same
shade of red at her throat ; that
gave her outfit just the right
touch.
An attractive winter white
dress with gold brocade through
it looked very sweet on Shirley
Seiler. A pair of shoes to match
certainly gave Shirley's outfit acclaim.
Our own editor, Jo Hester ,
wore a stunning shade of turquoise blue. As she moved, her
dress changed from light to dark
tones of aqua throughout.
Judy Ulmer was another who
looked adorable. Judy 's delicate
pi nk dress was scoop-necked and,
contrary to the ones mentioned
above, fell into a straight skirt.
Many of the girls looked stunning in dresses displaying a type
of design, Barbara Bennet and
Sally Stallone were two examples
of this. Both of their dresses had
dark backgrounds with small , intricate designs.
And last, but certainly not
least, our very sweet and pretty
Varsity Queen, Barbie Lentz,
looked adorable in v her slate-grey
dress. A slight V-neekline, empire
waist and full, full skir t, on Barbie, looked j ust right. Her dress
was highlighted by a black band
of velvet ribbon twining in and
out just below the bodice and tying in a small bow in the front.
Congratulations, Barbie, a sweet
dress for a sweet girl.
There certainly were many
more beautiful and original dresses at the dance, but if I mentioned
all of them, I would be writing
for a week. Here are my complim ents , co-eds, on your choice of
outfit to fit your own personalities
and the occasion. I'm sure everyonce will agree, they are j ust perfect!
Editor 's note: Modesty and politeness have prevented Tucky from
describing her own lovely dance
dress of "coolest" ice blue. That
long torso look and full-blown
skirt swirling below certainly put
it in the outstanding class with
the ones she has mentioned above.
Our compliments to you, Tucky,
for always looking so fashionable,
yet never once mentioning your
own stunning outfits .
Behind Closed Doors
by Ken Weir
Dixieland Jazz has been the
main topic of discussion in College
Council for several weeks now. It
all began when a very persuasive
Mr. Brenner, contacted Dick Bitner (h e's chairman of the Social
and" Recreation Committee, you"
know ) and made available a New
York jazz group for a concert
here. Mr. Brenner left some really
terrific records made by the group
and enough data to make us believe that Max Kaminsky and his
All Stars were the greatest thing
in j azz. Believe me, after hearing
those RCA records, you 're convinced they are all Mr. Benner
said , and more.
Now the only problem seems to
be that we need a big down payment when we sign the contract.
Therefore we adopted the suggestion , made by Dr. Martin , that
students should pay a fifty cent
deposit on a ticket for the two
hour j am session to be held early
in February. The second fifty
cents could be paid at a later date,
thus bringing the total price of admission to one dollar. To us it
sounds like a real bargain when
you pay a high as $4.50 per person
for a two hour j azz concert in
some of the large cities. I am sure
that Mary and 'Dick won 't h ave
any trouble getting us to buy
tickets.
The committee investigating
customs at Bloomsburg, with Ed
Chase as chairman, has made a
report on the survey made among
a cross section of our students. It
seems that the lack of cooperation among the upperclassmen is
the item at the top of every list
of complaints. Ed agreed to examine the policies concerning customs at several other Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges and
to report back in the spring.
Whenever a new activity is
added on campus, i t sometimes
takes quite a bit of planning to
find the necessary funds with
which the new activity will operate. Last spring, and this fall
when a Religion-In-Life Week
was being considered, it meant to
some of us just one more item to
be included in the activities budget . I feel sure that next spring
when the budget is being planned
no one will think of Religion-InLife Week as "j ust another activity." It proved to be beneficial and
showing much promise for further
development. Congratulations to
the Student Christian Association !
The Frosh are concerned j ust
now with finding some class leaders. Let's hope they do ju st that—
find leaders!!

HONOR ROLL
OF HITS
THE WINNER — Rosemary
Clooney's "HEY THERE" from
the Broadway production, "Paj ama Game" is the first musicalcomedy tune to hit a million in
sales... Don Cornell sings a very
beautiful and romantic version of
"HOLD MY HAND" on a Victor
label. As prospective teachers, we
can perhaps gather a few "methods" from the DeCastro Sisters'
recording of "TEACH ME TONIGHT". It seems that Doris Day
scores a hit everytime she vibrates
those gold-plated vocal chords.
This time her success centers
around Columbia's "IF I GIVE
MY HEART TO YOU". Louis
Armstrong belts out with the
"MUSKRAT RAMBLE" (wi th a
small j azz combo) , and his very
own "SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE
SORRY" with the Commanders.

bit of advice entitled "COUNT

the soundtrack of his latest film
"Whit e Christmas".
Maggie loves mambo—Holmes

—even "PAPA LOVES MAMBO"
says Perry Como on a Victor waxing. Now Billy May's at it with
the "RUDOLPH THE REDNOSED REINDEER MAMBO" .
Poor Rudy ! Last year all of the
other reindeer used to laugh and
call him names; this year, they 've
got the poor animal dancing.
Jackie Gleason is at his musical
best in one of his latest record
albums entitled "MUSIC, MARTINIS , and MEMORIES". Gleason 's rich orchestration of memory provoking melodies provide us
wi th su ch favorites as "ONCE IN
A WHILE" , "I'LL BE SEEING
YOU", "SOMEBODY LOVES
ME" , and "UNFORGETTABLE".
Jackie again features your favorite trumpet stylist, the incomparable Bobby Hackett. Bobby 's easy
phrasing and improvision give the
albums their gentle melancholia
and lonely sounds.
I had the very best intentions to
write up Eddie Fisher 's recording
of "I NEED YOU NOW" , in today 's column, but since a certain
"Arab" has one such a magnificent
j ob of interpretation I shall simply state the following : According
to the popularity that song is receiving on the college campus, it
may eventually be substituted for
our "Alma Mater. "
Let's see what is spinning off
the Bloomsburg reels this week.
The Capitol Theatre will feature
"DESIREE" , a Napoleonic romance, December 5-8. Marlon
Brando enacts the role of Napoleon with Jean Simmons as Marseilles. The Columbia will run a
Western story entitled "CATTLE
QUEEN OF MONTANA" starring Barbara Stanwyck as Sierra
Nevada Jones ( YOW!, I t hou ght
Zachokowski was bad) , and Ronald Reagan as Farrell. The dates
for the feature will be December
3-6.
Prof ile o the Week
Amid the hustle and bustle of
countless activities, dorm students
sometimes forget that many of
B.S.T.C.'s busiest and most versatile students are not Waller or
North Hail residents.
One girl who proves this point
beyond a doubt is Bertie Knouse,
whose activities and interests are
as extensive and varied as any
dormitory girl you can think of.
Bertie is proud to claim Bloomsburg High School as her alma
mater and she is still remembered there for her fine work in
G.A.A., school paper, Tri-Hi-Y ,
and National Honor Society.
As treasurer of the Dramatics
Club, historian of the Assembly
Committee, columnist on the Maroon and Gold, chairman of the
C.G.A. Awards Committee, and
member of Day Women's Association , F.T.A., and Kappa Delta Pi ,
Bertie is kept j umping. And yet
she manages to keep her grades
on a Dean's List level . . . which
is a feat for any student,
Bertie's main hobby is French
, . , which is quite natural when
one considers that she is language
maj or in the Secondary Department. She spends a great deal of
time reading books about France,
and her lifelong ambition Is to
visit Paris some day . . . and who
wouldn't like to go along?
After graduation in 1956, Bertie
plans to teach, but preferably not
In Bloomsburg. A French class In
an elementary school is her idea
of a "really good" jo b ... and it's
also the modern educator's dream
of a vastly improved school system.
Thanks to you, Bertie Knouse,
for proving that a Bloomsburg gal
can be one of the most popular at

Don Thomas , 4-Year
Huskie Lett erman
Don Thomas, who came to the
B.S.T.C. Huskies from Shamokin ,
h as been an outstanding lineman
for the past four years. He began
his football career in Shamokin
Junior High School, where he lettered three years in the sport.
Th ree years on the varsity squad
in Senior High School gave Don
added experience before coming to
Bloomsburg in 1951.
Here at the "frie ndly college "
Don has been a varsity tackle for
four seasons, earning letters for
each of his years. He claims that
"Daddy " Lang was his most outst anding team-mate on the Husky
squad. The biggest thrill Don ever
had in his athletic career was the
touchdown he scored against Lock
Haven State Teachers College to
aid the Huskies in their quest of
the STC championship.
Don 's ambition in sports is to
coach a team of his own. We at
Bloomsburg are sure he will have
winning teams if his players show
the same spirit and enthusiasm
th at Don has shown the pigskin
fans who faithfully follow the
Maroon and Gold team.

This re-examination of the undercurrents leading to the war
for independence traces the irritants and counter-irritants that
disturbed British-American relations and led to an open struggle
for independence. Mr. Gipson sees
the period as one of "political
maneuver" with no accord between imperial responsibilities
and the nationalistic ambitions of
the American people.

Historical collections, unavailable to an older generation of
scholars, form the basis for Mr.
Alden's account of the military
conduct of the war, together with
the signiflcent political, diplomatic, economic, and social outgrowths of the war years. "The
thought and conduct of the American patriots," says Alden "are ultimately defensible ... the Declaration of Independence is in the
last analysis j ustifiable."
Woourow Wilson and the
Progressive Era (1010-1017)
by
Arthur S. Link
This volume considers the quandary which confronted progressives in the first Woodrow Wilson
administration and assesses the
President's program and achievements on both the domestic and
international scene. In the words
of the author , "This book represents an attempt to comprehend
and re-create the political and
diplomatic history of the United
States from the beginning of the
disruption of the Republican party
In 1910 to the entry ot the United
States into World War I in 1917."
HUSKIES GET A LEG OF THE CROWN ... By virtue of the
sound running attack that the Huskies displayed on the Lock Haven
High School field a couple of Saturday nights ago (they ground out 400
yards rushing), the locals were able to claim one-third of the coveted
teachers college grid crown. Of course,-the other two legs go to West
Chester (who took the Huskies) , and East Stroudsburg (who beat West
Chester, the firs t teachers college team to defeat the Rams at West
Chester in many, many moons). This, of course, leaves Shippensburg,
who posted a record of three wins, one loss (this loss being at the hands
of California , snapping a twenty-game win streak), in fourth place in the
final standings.
Despite the fact that this is the firs t time in the four-year history
of the conference that a team with a mark in the loss column has been
able to lay claim to the championship, Shippensburg has still been unable to be in for consideration. After the crown has been divided up this
year, it must be more apparent than ever to our good friends down Shippensburg way that it is almost impossible for them to ever annex the
title without playing either West Chester or Bloom. There is one other
possibility, however, that being, should West Chester and Bloom both
lose two games in the same season, and Shippensburg go undefeated.
Funny thing—that system that Mr. Saylor invented and so graciously
lent his name to, but that is the way the ball bounces.
Of course, when Shippensburg decided to drop the Huskies three years
ago (Bloom beat them 40-14), they probably didn't realize they were
committing football sucide as far as the conference was concerned. The
chances of Shippensburg and West Chester ever getting together are
also sl,im. A renewal of the Shippensburg-Bloomsburg series holds nothing for Coach Jack Yohe and his charges. Bloomsburg can win the conference without Shippensburg, and with Shippensburg on the schedule
it would be necessary for Bloom to post wins over both Shippensburg
and West Chester which would be only cutting our own throats. Shippensburg dropped Bloomsburg so it can be said that they not only loaded the gun, but they pulled the trigger too.
PERSING, BROWNING MAKE FIRST TEAM ALL-STATE TEACHERS . . . The Indiana "Penn" conducts a poll of the sports editors
of the 13 teachers colleges as to their choices for an all-conference
team. Tommy Persing, senior from Shamokin, was named to a guard
slot on the first team. Last year Persing was on the second team. Jimmy
Browning, a jun ior from Mechanicsburg, polled the second largest number of votes, ten. Spencer Keyes, of Shippensburg's Red Raiders, was
high vote-getter with twelve. Charlie Skiptunas, junior from Kingston ,
weighed in on the second team as the pivot man, with a total of five
votes to his credit. Harry Hughes also got a third team berth as a tackle by registering five votes. Harry is one of the few sophomores named
this year to the team. The Huskies were able to place still another this
man on the third team in Treverton's pride and joy , Harv Boughner.
Hary is a junior, played his first year at fullback and was good enough
in his first season as a fullback to have five votes cast for him. The Allstate Teachers College Team is as follows:

"Punch" Paninchello
The smiling face of "Big" John
Panichello will be long remembered by the students of B.S.T.C.
But the boy with the friendly attitude looked quite different to opposing backs as he slammed them
to the ground with vicious tackles.
"Punch", as John is commonly
called on campus came to Bloomsburg from Cheltenham. Although
he was unable to play football because of an inj ury, he did participate in wrestling and baseball for
Northeast Catholic High School in
Philadelphia.
John entered B.S.T.C. in 1951
and played on Coach Redmond's
undefeated squad. Since then he
has played for Coach Yohe until
he was sidelined this season with
a torn cartilage.
John has also been a letter winner in baseball as a catcher and
hopes to play again this year.
The greatest football thrill
to Punch, as to most linemen, was
the scoring of a touchdown. In the
Trenton 1952 game, he hauled in
a pass and raced twelve yards to
score.
Jini Lavery of Scranton University and Earl Hersch of West
Chester were two of the finer
players Punch has opposed. John
also has high praise for Bloom 's
Russ Verhousky and George Lanbrinos.
A Business Educat ion stu dent ,
John would like to teach and
coach after his time in the army.
He would also like to try his hand
at pro football, if he receives an
off er.
We here at the "friendly college" wish you, John Panichello,
the best of luck in the future.
You can't help being a success if
you continue your kind, winning
ways.
What's Your Opinio n?
We've all been clamoring for a
more active social life at B.S.T.C.
—some form of recreation to
break the monotony of the school
week. This year the C.G.A. took a
big step toward answering our demonds—the Wednesday night record dances.
"What do you think of the record dances ? Do the students look
forward to them with enthusiasm ?
Does the dance provide opportunity to become better acquainted
with other students?"
Chick DeFebo: "I think that
these dances are a very good recreational facility for the school.
They provide entertainment for at
least three-fourth of the student
body. It is a good opportunity for
the incoming freshman and transfer students to get acquainted
with the rest of the students in
the school (especially with the opposite sex). I know, because it
worked in my case, but I'll be
darned if it has affected my
roomie yet!"
Carolyn Bordy: "These dances
offer a swell opportunity to make
the 'friendly college on the hill'
even more friendly. They 're really going over great , bu t I'd enjoy
them even more if I didn 't have
a TEST every Thursday morning."
Jo Oraeber: "So you want my
opinion of the Wednesday night
dances—they 're fabulous ! They
give me something to look forward to in the middle of the week
to break the monotony of studying. And even the boys are dancing this year!"
Bob Blemesderfor: "It's difficult
to imagine that we didn 't hove
nnything like the Wednesday
night dances last year. I think the
Social and Recreation Committee
should receive an "A" for the
idea. It's a great addition to our
social calendar and perhaps with
this good start, it can grow into
something big. I know I look forward to the dance each Wednesday nl«ht."
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Huskies closed their 1954
grid card with a tremendous display oi offensive power in defeating the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven by a 40-13 count before a crowd
of some 2,00 fans at the Lock
Haven High School field.
It took the Huskies only seven
plays or three minutes and forty
seconds of playing time to register
their first tally of the evening,
with Bobby Dipipi going over
from one yard out. The Husky
drive was launched on the Bloom
35, w ith Har vey Boughner and
Alex Boychuck doing most of the
carrying. Bobby Cumens split the
uprights and Bloom had a seven
point advantage.
The second Bloom drive came
about when Lock Haven ran out
of gas in their own territory in
the second quarter and were forced to kick to the power . laden
Husky team that went into the
game with three fullbacks in .the
starting backfield. This time it
took 12 running plays to cover
the needed 75 yards with Boughner doing the honors from 10
yards out. The play was a fake to
the fullback and a delayed pitchout from quarterback Dipipi.
Boughner scored standing-up, and
Cumens' toe maintained its magic
touch for the necessary conversion.
At the outset of the third quarter Lock Haven got a drive moving that racked up two first downs
and carried them to the mid-field
stripe. It was from this point that
Harrison Morson intercepted a
Bald Eagle aerial on his own 38
and raced 62 yards for paydirt,
getting a key block on the ten
from Charlie Pope. Cumens did his
duty and the Huskies led 21-0.
Later in the third quarter a
Lock Haven drive was stalled on
the Bloom ten. From this point
Joe "the Truck" Malczyk broke
into the open but just couldn 't
seem to hold the post position as
he was hauled down from behind
after carrying 46 yards. With
Malczyk and Boughner carrying,
the Huskies had the ball on the
Lock Haven 25. Dipipi then hit
Bobby Goover with a perfect
strike in a play that put the pigskin on the three. Malczyk wasn 't
to be denied as he bulled his way
over, making point number 27.
Cumens' extra point made it an
even 28.
With a 28 point advantage
Coach Yohe flooded the field with
subs, and it took the Bald Eagles
only one play following the kickoff to register their first tally of
the evening. The play was a 67yard pass play from Hanson to
Connor for the score. Meyers' kick
was good and the score was now
28-7.
Jerry Natishan, standing in his
end-zone, punted to his own 38. A
fifteen yard penalty for roughing
was stepped off against the Huskies, putting the ball on the Bloom
23. Another Hanson to Connor
aerial put the ball on the five.
Hanson then hit Dick Kepler in
the end zone for the 13th and
final Lock Haven point.
Bloomsburg's first team came
back into the ball game and this
was no sooner done than they
were in the scoring column again.
This came about when Bobby Dipipi hit Mo Morson with a 40-yard
forward for a score. Bob Cumens
then missed his first extra point of
the campaign. He had made 21
straight up to this point.
The final Bloom tally came
when Morson intercepted another
Bald Eagle forward and ran the
ball to the 22 of Lock Haven. With
the ball on the 22 Charlie Kwiatkowski hit end Bob Stroup with a
seven yard pass; Stroup immediately lattereled to biff , Dan
Thomas on the fifteen. Thomas
ran with the determination of a
halfback for the remaining yardage and the final score.

H'lo and all that other salutatory nonsense.
Here it is, one o'clock after the Varsity Dance and Sally Stallone,
Barb Tuckwood, and I are sitting in the third floor smoker trying to
think of interesting oddities tor our respective columns. Not too male!
Procrastination, thy name is woman, judging from us.
Speaking of the dances, lots of congratulations to Barb Lentz, our
new V arsity Queen, and one of the sweetest gals on campus. I've never
seen a person as speechless as she was when ihe big announcement was
made. The world could use more people as sincere and unassuming as
this little lady . We love ya, Barb !
This must be the season for queens. The sophomore class j ust elected a lair monarch to reign over the big events or sophomore week. I predict that this will be one of the biggest things ever 10 happen at BS i C.
Take a look at the program and see tor yourself. We DU need your enthusiasm and co-operation, though, so why not go all-out ?
A gentle suggestion was made to some of the fellows (Weir, Groover, and ciwitzer, 10 pe exact) to wear white shirts under their V-necked
sweaters. Granted, it looks good, but how many times can one wear said
shirt without leeling somewnat grimy ? You 're right—once. So, it tigures
that the poor kids can t get mucn wear from their sweaters since they 're
restricted to a certain meager number of shirts each week at yonder
laundry. Any suggestions tor the speedy solution of this dilema? It's
typical of the proDiems arising within the hallowed halls which demand
speedy disposal.
I'm glad Tucky mentioned those beautiful sweaters in the last issue
because I've been admiring them, tor sometime now and hoping someone
would bring up the subject . Good taste these Bloomsburg men, wouldn't
you say ?
George Derk has an affinity for parking tickets. Remember the two

Have you gals ever started to put up your hair and forgotten to finish it ?
Lynda did. Two pincurls and she completely disremembered to do the
rest. We weren't TOO relieved to see her go. It's gotten back to normal
again, almost.
For the information and gratification of the general public, Mrs.
Roongo does have a name. She's the gal who helps Bxxzzy Wool take care
of our huskie, and she answers to Carol Shatter. Chances are if you see
a red bonnet around, she'll be under it. (Buzzy makes a dashing Mr.
Roongo, too!)
New flash! "Diamond Jim" Nicholas has been ousted as manager of
the Whiz Kids. Sources retuse to reveal reasons, but mental incapacity
has been mentioned. This, my friends, is the same young man who explains his irresistibility by stating, "Well, the sweet meac is next to the
10 the bone, and tnars me!"
Here's a suggestion for you. When you go into Assembly some morning, keep quiet lor a change and pay attention to Mary Jane Miller 's
organ music. That gal's terrific!
Jitter try counting the head waiters floating around the dinning room
at dinner ? There are scads, believe me. Someone gets plenty 01 supervision , anyway. No wonder we don't finish dinner until seven—wonting
waiter shortage, you know.
I j ust looked back over this, and it struck me as being somewhat
disconnected. Forgiveness, please . . . my mind is already on the coming
vacation and my powers of concentration have diminished considerably.
This is also more serious than I had intended, but occasional sobriety is
good for the soul.
Remember, Christmas is coming!

Jazz Concert to
Be Presented by
RCA's Kaminsky
Sp okesmen for the SocialRecreation Committee announced
last week that plans are well underway to command the talents of
recording , artists Max Kaminsky
and his All-Stars—Jazz virtuosos
—for a concert and dance here
on February 1, 1955. Dick Bittner
and Mary Hoffecker , co-chairmen
of the committee, declared that
the contract is at the signing
stage.
Max Kaminsky, a he adliner in
the show-world, has been a featured artist with such outstanding
name bands as Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller and Benney Goodman. His band has played the top night clubs across the
country.
Kaminsky, oft en referr ed to as
"Mr. Jazz," has been acclaimed for
his exciting new interpretations of
standard j azz numbers, and has
played with every top jazz man in
the world. A famous trumpeter, he
has starred on many of Tommy
Dorsey 's RCA waxings, including
"That's a Plenty," "Ju da ," and "At
the Codfish Ball." His famous
trumpet was also heard on Artie
Sh aw's hit recording of "Begin
the Beguine."
Max formed his own all-star
group in 1945 and played the
country 's most famous music spots
such as the Savoy and Eddie Condon's club in Greenwich Village.
While playing at the Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village, he
almost single-handedly made "The
Saints Come Marchin' In " — the
very national anthem of Dixieland.
His designation of "Ivy League
Jazz Favorite" was the result of
his phenomenally successful concerts at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and other maj or colleges and
universities.
Kaminsky, the popularizer of
the original Dixieland Band, gave
many a disc j ockey his signature
theme in the national favorite recording of "Muskrat Ramble." He
has recorded with his all-star
group on Decca, Columbia, and
RCA Victor.
Max is known as the man who
brings his pulsating jazz beat to
music lovers exactly the way they
want it, with fire, drive and imagination. And Max Kaminsky and
his All Stars will be here at BSTC
on February 1, 1955.
In order to ensure each BSTC
student one of a limited number
of tickets available , the SocialRecreation Committee members
will soon begin to accept one half
of the one dollar admission fee
for this two-hour Jazz Concert
and Dance, as a guarantee on the
ticket. All students are urged to
pay their fifty cents as soon as
possible for a front row seat to
what promises to be the event of
the school year.

Day Women Hold
Buffet Luncheon
On Wednesday, October 27, the
freshman day girls were introduced to the wonders of a Day
Women 's Association buffet luncheon. They soon learned that since
the seniority rule is in effect , a
poor freshman has a mighty good
appetite by the time she reaches
the buffet table, which only makes
her appreciate the food more.
The luncheon, planned by Social
Chairman Shirley Redline and her
committee, was certainly worth
the long wait. About 60 girls enj oyed the delicious meal, with dinner music from Pat Dorsey's record collection, adding the finishing touch. The special guest at the
luncheon was Mrs, Elizabeth Miller, Dean of Women.
A party was held Wednesday,
November 3, honoring Shirley Redline on her 20th birthday . Dlann
Jones, Peggy Bartges, and Bertie
Knouse j oined in singing "Happy
Birthday1' to Shirley over birthday candles.

Chest X-R ay Unit
Again on Campus
On Wednesday, December 1, the
Department of Health Portable
X-Ray unit visited the BSTC campus to provide free X-Rays to all
who desired one. The unit operated from Navy Hall Auditorium
from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 and from *
1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Business
students aided in speeding the
flow of people through the auditorium and out to the mobile unit.
Cards were distributed in Freshman Health classes and were made
available at the Book Store to all
students desiring an X-Ray. Other
students who could not be present
at the stipulated times were asked
to contact Miss Mettler as every
effort was made to accommodate
all students.
All Seniors who were not XRayed last year, all Juniors, all
Freshman , and all other new students who were on the campus for
the first time were required to
have an X-Ray.
The only requirements made
were that people being X-Rayed
remove medals, necklaces, and
other metal that would show on
the X-Ray and that they did not
wear clothing with large metal
buttons.

Speech Clinic Opens Its Doors ? ? ?
On November 10, 1954, the Iota Chapter of Sigma Alpha Eta , National
Speech and Hearing Fraternity, sponsored its first annual Open
i
i House in the college's Speech and Hearing Clinc.
.The affair , consisting of hourly tours and half-hour movies, attracted an estimated one hundred and sixty people, including college students,
faculty members, (some of whom brought their elementary curriculum
classes), and high school potentials for a career in speech correction.
The tours, each of which was conducted by a speech clinician, consisted of valuable glimpses behind the scenes of clinical practice. Informative talks about case histories, hearing, sound recording, and the
I "one-way screen " were given; these were supplemented by the use of
: attractively arranged and completely employed audio-visual materials.
Under the chairmanship of Bob Lyon, the committees designed the
displays to make the public more fully aware of the numerous materials,
both scientific and literary, necessary to conduct a sound corrective program.
This writer took a late afternoon tour which started with a general
orientation by Avery Williams and a demonstration of the "one-way
screen " by Paul Volkman. A briefing of the displays ol various devices
employed was given by Doyle Lynn before we were escorted to a higher
level of-the Clinic where Alice Swartz explained the forms which make
up the "Case" folder . This accomplished discourse was followed by Charlotte Rummage 's verbal and applicatory demonstrations of the audiometer, as well as the newest type of hearing aid. The latter of these was
provided by Harry Beckley, owner of a hearing aid firm in Bloomsburg.
The oscilloscope, an instrument showing visually the changes ih a
varying voice current , was a highlight of the final circuit of the tour
to the sound recording department, where Al Davis gave an interesting
exposition on the instrument and on voice recording by tape and disc.
The oscilloscope was acquired for exhibition through the co-operation of
physical science instructor Dr. Harold H. Lanterman.
Two half-hour educational films, Your Voice and The Ears and Hearing, were supplied by Mr. Charles H. Henrie, head of the Audio-Visual
Library. Mr. Henrie also provided the projectionists from his audio-visual classes.
Much thought and spirited undertaking went into making the Open
House a successful venture. Special mention must be given to Mr. Herberholz, whose art department's colorful posters played a large part in
attracting visitors to the Open House.
No small measure of merit must go to Miss Clara Weir, adviser for
Sigma Alpha Eta and head of the Speech and Hearing Clinic. Her untiring effort in, and sincere dedication to, promoting the understanding
of speech and hearing therapy played a maj or part in one of the most
activities of the school year thus far.
TOP to TOE
BY TUCKEY
As always, a special occasion
brings out the special attractions
in the female wardrobe. 'Twas so
at the Varsity Club Dance. Many
taffetas; failles and tissue-paper
taffetas, all displayed in beautiful
shades, caught one's eye as the
girls whirled around the dance
floor.
Scooped neckes, V-necks, f u ll
skirts and three-quarter-length
sleeves seem to be the style this
year.
Sue Hoffman was the perfect
example of -this in her deep wine
velveteen dress with an empire
waistline. Her very full skirt
stood way, way out and looked
especially nice on such a small,
petite freshman.
Speaking of velvet, Ja n Fer en ce
made a beautiful picture in her
bright red dress. The scooped
n eck , empire waist and small capped sleeves were highli ghted by
one of the fullest skirts ever seen.
Jan topped her gorgeous dress
with a small band of the same
shade of red at her throat ; that
gave her outfit just the right
touch.
An attractive winter white
dress with gold brocade through
it looked very sweet on Shirley
Seiler. A pair of shoes to match
certainly gave Shirley's outfit acclaim.
Our own editor, Jo Hester ,
wore a stunning shade of turquoise blue. As she moved, her
dress changed from light to dark
tones of aqua throughout.
Judy Ulmer was another who
looked adorable. Judy 's delicate
pi nk dress was scoop-necked and,
contrary to the ones mentioned
above, fell into a straight skirt.
Many of the girls looked stunning in dresses displaying a type
of design, Barbara Bennet and
Sally Stallone were two examples
of this. Both of their dresses had
dark backgrounds with small , intricate designs.
And last, but certainly not
least, our very sweet and pretty
Varsity Queen, Barbie Lentz,
looked adorable in v her slate-grey
dress. A slight V-neekline, empire
waist and full, full skir t, on Barbie, looked j ust right. Her dress
was highlighted by a black band
of velvet ribbon twining in and
out just below the bodice and tying in a small bow in the front.
Congratulations, Barbie, a sweet
dress for a sweet girl.
There certainly were many
more beautiful and original dresses at the dance, but if I mentioned
all of them, I would be writing
for a week. Here are my complim ents , co-eds, on your choice of
outfit to fit your own personalities
and the occasion. I'm sure everyonce will agree, they are j ust perfect!
Editor 's note: Modesty and politeness have prevented Tucky from
describing her own lovely dance
dress of "coolest" ice blue. That
long torso look and full-blown
skirt swirling below certainly put
it in the outstanding class with
the ones she has mentioned above.
Our compliments to you, Tucky,
for always looking so fashionable,
yet never once mentioning your
own stunning outfits .
Behind Closed Doors
by Ken Weir
Dixieland Jazz has been the
main topic of discussion in College
Council for several weeks now. It
all began when a very persuasive
Mr. Brenner, contacted Dick Bitner (h e's chairman of the Social
and" Recreation Committee, you"
know ) and made available a New
York jazz group for a concert
here. Mr. Brenner left some really
terrific records made by the group
and enough data to make us believe that Max Kaminsky and his
All Stars were the greatest thing
in j azz. Believe me, after hearing
those RCA records, you 're convinced they are all Mr. Benner
said , and more.
Now the only problem seems to
be that we need a big down payment when we sign the contract.
Therefore we adopted the suggestion , made by Dr. Martin , that
students should pay a fifty cent
deposit on a ticket for the two
hour j am session to be held early
in February. The second fifty
cents could be paid at a later date,
thus bringing the total price of admission to one dollar. To us it
sounds like a real bargain when
you pay a high as $4.50 per person
for a two hour j azz concert in
some of the large cities. I am sure
that Mary and 'Dick won 't h ave
any trouble getting us to buy
tickets.
The committee investigating
customs at Bloomsburg, with Ed
Chase as chairman, has made a
report on the survey made among
a cross section of our students. It
seems that the lack of cooperation among the upperclassmen is
the item at the top of every list
of complaints. Ed agreed to examine the policies concerning customs at several other Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges and
to report back in the spring.
Whenever a new activity is
added on campus, i t sometimes
takes quite a bit of planning to
find the necessary funds with
which the new activity will operate. Last spring, and this fall
when a Religion-In-Life Week
was being considered, it meant to
some of us just one more item to
be included in the activities budget . I feel sure that next spring
when the budget is being planned
no one will think of Religion-InLife Week as "j ust another activity." It proved to be beneficial and
showing much promise for further
development. Congratulations to
the Student Christian Association !
The Frosh are concerned j ust
now with finding some class leaders. Let's hope they do ju st that—
find leaders!!

HONOR ROLL
OF HITS
THE WINNER — Rosemary
Clooney's "HEY THERE" from
the Broadway production, "Paj ama Game" is the first musicalcomedy tune to hit a million in
sales... Don Cornell sings a very
beautiful and romantic version of
"HOLD MY HAND" on a Victor
label. As prospective teachers, we
can perhaps gather a few "methods" from the DeCastro Sisters'
recording of "TEACH ME TONIGHT". It seems that Doris Day
scores a hit everytime she vibrates
those gold-plated vocal chords.
This time her success centers
around Columbia's "IF I GIVE
MY HEART TO YOU". Louis
Armstrong belts out with the
"MUSKRAT RAMBLE" (wi th a
small j azz combo) , and his very
own "SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE
SORRY" with the Commanders.
Bin g Crosby records a beautifu l
bit of advice entitled "COUNT

the soundtrack of his latest film
"Whit e Christmas".
Maggie loves mambo—Holmes
loves mambo—Watts loves mambo
—even "PAPA LOVES MAMBO"
says Perry Como on a Victor waxing. Now Billy May's at it with
the "RUDOLPH THE REDNOSED REINDEER MAMBO" .
Poor Rudy ! Last year all of the
other reindeer used to laugh and
call him names; this year, they 've
got the poor animal dancing.
Jackie Gleason is at his musical
best in one of his latest record
albums entitled "MUSIC, MARTINIS , and MEMORIES". Gleason 's rich orchestration of memory provoking melodies provide us
wi th su ch favorites as "ONCE IN
A WHILE" , "I'LL BE SEEING
YOU", "SOMEBODY LOVES
ME" , and "UNFORGETTABLE".
Jackie again features your favorite trumpet stylist, the incomparable Bobby Hackett. Bobby 's easy
phrasing and improvision give the
albums their gentle melancholia
and lonely sounds.
I had the very best intentions to
write up Eddie Fisher 's recording
of "I NEED YOU NOW" , in today 's column, but since a certain
"Arab" has one such a magnificent
j ob of interpretation I shall simply state the following : According
to the popularity that song is receiving on the college campus, it
may eventually be substituted for
our "Alma Mater. "
Let's see what is spinning off
the Bloomsburg reels this week.
The Capitol Theatre will feature
"DESIREE" , a Napoleonic romance, December 5-8. Marlon
Brando enacts the role of Napoleon with Jean Simmons as Marseilles. The Columbia will run a
Western story entitled "CATTLE
QUEEN OF MONTANA" starring Barbara Stanwyck as Sierra
Nevada Jones ( YOW!, I t hou ght
Zachokowski was bad) , and Ronald Reagan as Farrell. The dates
for the feature will be December
3-6.
Prof ile o the Week
Amid the hustle and bustle of
countless activities, dorm students
sometimes forget that many of
B.S.T.C.'s busiest and most versatile students are not Waller or
North Hail residents.
One girl who proves this point
beyond a doubt is Bertie Knouse,
whose activities and interests are
as extensive and varied as any
dormitory girl you can think of.
Bertie is proud to claim Bloomsburg High School as her alma
mater and she is still remembered there for her fine work in
G.A.A., school paper, Tri-Hi-Y ,
and National Honor Society.
As treasurer of the Dramatics
Club, historian of the Assembly
Committee, columnist on the Maroon and Gold, chairman of the
C.G.A. Awards Committee, and
member of Day Women's Association , F.T.A., and Kappa Delta Pi ,
Bertie is kept j umping. And yet
she manages to keep her grades
on a Dean's List level . . . which
is a feat for any student,
Bertie's main hobby is French
, . , which is quite natural when
one considers that she is language
maj or in the Secondary Department. She spends a great deal of
time reading books about France,
and her lifelong ambition Is to
visit Paris some day . . . and who
wouldn't like to go along?
After graduation in 1956, Bertie
plans to teach, but preferably not
In Bloomsburg. A French class In
an elementary school is her idea
of a "really good" jo b ... and it's
also the modern educator's dream
of a vastly improved school system.
Thanks to you, Bertie Knouse,
for proving that a Bloomsburg gal
can be one of the most popular at
B.S.T.S.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT
by BILL BITNER
Don Thomas , 4-Year
Huskie Lett erman
Don Thomas, who came to the
B.S.T.C. Huskies from Shamokin ,
h as been an outstanding lineman
for the past four years. He began
his football career in Shamokin
Junior High School, where he lettered three years in the sport.
Th ree years on the varsity squad
in Senior High School gave Don
added experience before coming to
Bloomsburg in 1951.
Here at the "frie ndly college "
Don has been a varsity tackle for
four seasons, earning letters for
each of his years. He claims that
"Daddy " Lang was his most outst anding team-mate on the Husky
squad. The biggest thrill Don ever
had in his athletic career was the
touchdown he scored against Lock
Haven State Teachers College to
aid the Huskies in their quest of
the STC championship.
Don 's ambition in sports is to
coach a team of his own. We at
Bloomsburg are sure he will have
winning teams if his players show
the same spirit and enthusiasm
th at Don has shown the pigskin
fans who faithfully follow the
Maroon and Gold team.

uy
Lawrence Henry Gipson
This re-examination of the undercurrents leading to the war
for independence traces the irritants and counter-irritants that
disturbed British-American relations and led to an open struggle
for independence. Mr. Gipson sees
the period as one of "political
maneuver" with no accord between imperial responsibilities
and the nationalistic ambitions of
the American people.

Historical collections, unavailable to an older generation of

Alden's account of the military
conduct of the war, together with
the signiflcent political, diplomatic, economic, and social outgrowths of the war years. "The
thought and conduct of the American patriots," says Alden "are ultimately defensible ... the Declaration of Independence is in the
last analysis j ustifiable."
Woourow Wilson and the
Progressive Era (1010-1017)
by
Arthur S. Link
This volume considers the quandary which confronted progressives in the first Woodrow Wilson
administration and assesses the
President's program and achievements on both the domestic and
international scene. In the words
of the author , "This book represents an attempt to comprehend
and re-create the political and
diplomatic history of the United
States from the beginning of the
disruption of the Republican party
In 1910 to the entry ot the United
States into World War I in 1917."
HUSKIES GET A LEG OF THE CROWN ... By virtue of the
sound running attack that the Huskies displayed on the Lock Haven
High School field a couple of Saturday nights ago (they ground out 400
yards rushing), the locals were able to claim one-third of the coveted
teachers college grid crown. Of course,-the other two legs go to West
Chester (who took the Huskies) , and East Stroudsburg (who beat West
Chester, the firs t teachers college team to defeat the Rams at West
Chester in many, many moons). This, of course, leaves Shippensburg,
who posted a record of three wins, one loss (this loss being at the hands
of California , snapping a twenty-game win streak), in fourth place in the
final standings.
Despite the fact that this is the firs t time in the four-year history
of the conference that a team with a mark in the loss column has been
able to lay claim to the championship, Shippensburg has still been unable to be in for consideration. After the crown has been divided up this
year, it must be more apparent than ever to our good friends down Shippensburg way that it is almost impossible for them to ever annex the
title without playing either West Chester or Bloom. There is one other
possibility, however, that being, should West Chester and Bloom both
lose two games in the same season, and Shippensburg go undefeated.
Funny thing—that system that Mr. Saylor invented and so graciously
lent his name to, but that is the way the ball bounces.
Of course, when Shippensburg decided to drop the Huskies three years
ago (Bloom beat them 40-14), they probably didn't realize they were
committing football sucide as far as the conference was concerned. The
chances of Shippensburg and West Chester ever getting together are
also sl,im. A renewal of the Shippensburg-Bloomsburg series holds nothing for Coach Jack Yohe and his charges. Bloomsburg can win the conference without Shippensburg, and with Shippensburg on the schedule
it would be necessary for Bloom to post wins over both Shippensburg
and West Chester which would be only cutting our own throats. Shippensburg dropped Bloomsburg so it can be said that they not only loaded the gun, but they pulled the trigger too.
PERSING, BROWNING MAKE FIRST TEAM ALL-STATE TEACHERS . . . The Indiana "Penn" conducts a poll of the sports editors
of the 13 teachers colleges as to their choices for an all-conference
team. Tommy Persing, senior from Shamokin, was named to a guard
slot on the first team. Last year Persing was on the second team. Jimmy
Browning, a jun ior from Mechanicsburg, polled the second largest number of votes, ten. Spencer Keyes, of Shippensburg's Red Raiders, was
high vote-getter with twelve. Charlie Skiptunas, junior from Kingston ,
weighed in on the second team as the pivot man, with a total of five
votes to his credit. Harry Hughes also got a third team berth as a tackle by registering five votes. Harry is one of the few sophomores named
this year to the team. The Huskies were able to place still another this
man on the third team in Treverton's pride and joy , Harv Boughner.
Hary is a junior, played his first year at fullback and was good enough
in his first season as a fullback to have five votes cast for him. The Allstate Teachers College Team is as follows:

"Punch" Paninchello
The smiling face of "Big" John
Panichello will be long remembered by the students of B.S.T.C.
But the boy with the friendly attitude looked quite different to opposing backs as he slammed them
to the ground with vicious tackles.
"Punch", as John is commonly
called on campus came to Bloomsburg from Cheltenham. Although
he was unable to play football because of an inj ury, he did participate in wrestling and baseball for
Northeast Catholic High School in
Philadelphia.
John entered B.S.T.C. in 1951
and played on Coach Redmond's
undefeated squad. Since then he
has played for Coach Yohe until
he was sidelined this season with
a torn cartilage.
John has also been a letter winner in baseball as a catcher and
hopes to play again this year.
The greatest football thrill
to Punch, as to most linemen, was
the scoring of a touchdown. In the
Trenton 1952 game, he hauled in
a pass and raced twelve yards to
score.
Jini Lavery of Scranton University and Earl Hersch of West
Chester were two of the finer
players Punch has opposed. John
also has high praise for Bloom 's
Russ Verhousky and George Lanbrinos.
A Business Educat ion stu dent ,
John would like to teach and
coach after his time in the army.
He would also like to try his hand
at pro football, if he receives an
off er.
We here at the "friendly college" wish you, John Panichello,
the best of luck in the future.
You can't help being a success if
you continue your kind, winning
ways.
What's Your Opinio n?
We've all been clamoring for a
more active social life at B.S.T.C.
—some form of recreation to
break the monotony of the school
week. This year the C.G.A. took a
big step toward answering our demonds—the Wednesday night record dances.
"What do you think of the record dances ? Do the students look
forward to them with enthusiasm ?
Does the dance provide opportunity to become better acquainted
with other students?"
Chick DeFebo: "I think that
these dances are a very good recreational facility for the school.
They provide entertainment for at
least three-fourth of the student
body. It is a good opportunity for
the incoming freshman and transfer students to get acquainted
with the rest of the students in
the school (especially with the opposite sex). I know, because it
worked in my case, but I'll be
darned if it has affected my
roomie yet!"
Carolyn Bordy: "These dances
offer a swell opportunity to make
the 'friendly college on the hill'
even more friendly. They 're really going over great , bu t I'd enjoy
them even more if I didn 't have
a TEST every Thursday morning."
Jo Oraeber: "So you want my
opinion of the Wednesday night
dances—they 're fabulous ! They
give me something to look forward to in the middle of the week
to break the monotony of studying. And even the boys are dancing this year!"
Bob Blemesderfor: "It's difficult
to imagine that we didn 't hove
nnything like the Wednesday
night dances last year. I think the
Social and Recreation Committee
should receive an "A" for the
idea. It's a great addition to our
social calendar and perhaps with
this good start, it can grow into
something big. I know I look forward to the dance each Wednesday nl«ht."
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Huskies closed their 1954
grid card with a tremendous display oi offensive power in defeating the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven by a 40-13 count before a crowd
of some 2,00 fans at the Lock
Haven High School field.
It took the Huskies only seven
plays or three minutes and forty
seconds of playing time to register
their first tally of the evening,
with Bobby Dipipi going over
from one yard out. The Husky
drive was launched on the Bloom
35, w ith Har vey Boughner and
Alex Boychuck doing most of the
carrying. Bobby Cumens split the
uprights and Bloom had a seven
point advantage.
The second Bloom drive came
about when Lock Haven ran out
of gas in their own territory in
the second quarter and were forced to kick to the power . laden
Husky team that went into the
game with three fullbacks in .the
starting backfield. This time it
took 12 running plays to cover
the needed 75 yards with Boughner doing the honors from 10
yards out. The play was a fake to
the fullback and a delayed pitchout from quarterback Dipipi.
Boughner scored standing-up, and
Cumens' toe maintained its magic
touch for the necessary conversion.
At the outset of the third quarter Lock Haven got a drive moving that racked up two first downs
and carried them to the mid-field
stripe. It was from this point that
Harrison Morson intercepted a
Bald Eagle aerial on his own 38
and raced 62 yards for paydirt,
getting a key block on the ten
from Charlie Pope. Cumens did his
duty and the Huskies led 21-0.
Later in the third quarter a
Lock Haven drive was stalled on
the Bloom ten. From this point
Joe "the Truck" Malczyk broke
into the open but just couldn 't
seem to hold the post position as
he was hauled down from behind
after carrying 46 yards. With
Malczyk and Boughner carrying,
the Huskies had the ball on the
Lock Haven 25. Dipipi then hit
Bobby Goover with a perfect
strike in a play that put the pigskin on the three. Malczyk wasn 't
to be denied as he bulled his way
over, making point number 27.
Cumens' extra point made it an
even 28.
With a 28 point advantage
Coach Yohe flooded the field with
subs, and it took the Bald Eagles
only one play following the kickoff to register their first tally of
the evening. The play was a 67yard pass play from Hanson to
Connor for the score. Meyers' kick
was good and the score was now
28-7.
Jerry Natishan, standing in his
end-zone, punted to his own 38. A
fifteen yard penalty for roughing
was stepped off against the Huskies, putting the ball on the Bloom
23. Another Hanson to Connor
aerial put the ball on the five.
Hanson then hit Dick Kepler in
the end zone for the 13th and
final Lock Haven point.
Bloomsburg's first team came
back into the ball game and this
was no sooner done than they
were in the scoring column again.
This came about when Bobby Dipipi hit Mo Morson with a 40-yard
forward for a score. Bob Cumens
then missed his first extra point of
the campaign. He had made 21
straight up to this point.
The final Bloom tally came
when Morson intercepted another
Bald Eagle forward and ran the
ball to the 22 of Lock Haven. With
the ball on the 22 Charlie Kwiatkowski hit end Bob Stroup with a
seven yard pass; Stroup immediately lattereled to biff , Dan
Thomas on the fifteen. Thomas
ran with the determination of a
halfback for the remaining yardage and the final score.

H'lo and all that other salutatory nonsense.
Here it is, one o'clock after the Varsity Dance and Sally Stallone,
Barb Tuckwood, and I are sitting in the third floor smoker trying to
think of interesting oddities tor our respective columns. Not too male!
Procrastination, thy name is woman, judging from us.
Speaking of the dances, lots of congratulations to Barb Lentz, our
new V arsity Queen, and one of the sweetest gals on campus. I've never
seen a person as speechless as she was when ihe big announcement was
made. The world could use more people as sincere and unassuming as
this little lady . We love ya, Barb !
This must be the season for queens. The sophomore class j ust elected a lair monarch to reign over the big events or sophomore week. I predict that this will be one of the biggest things ever 10 happen at BS i C.
Take a look at the program and see tor yourself. We DU need your enthusiasm and co-operation, though, so why not go all-out ?
A gentle suggestion was made to some of the fellows (Weir, Groover, and ciwitzer, 10 pe exact) to wear white shirts under their V-necked
sweaters. Granted, it looks good, but how many times can one wear said
shirt without leeling somewnat grimy ? You 're right—once. So, it tigures
that the poor kids can t get mucn wear from their sweaters since they 're
restricted to a certain meager number of shirts each week at yonder
laundry. Any suggestions tor the speedy solution of this dilema? It's
typical of the proDiems arising within the hallowed halls which demand
speedy disposal.
I'm glad Tucky mentioned those beautiful sweaters in the last issue
because I've been admiring them, tor sometime now and hoping someone
would bring up the subject . Good taste these Bloomsburg men, wouldn't
you say ?
George Derk has an affinity for parking tickets. Remember the two

able to paper your walls with the nasty things.

Have you gals ever started to put up your hair and forgotten to finish it ?
Lynda did. Two pincurls and she completely disremembered to do the
rest. We weren't TOO relieved to see her go. It's gotten back to normal
again, almost.
For the information and gratification of the general public, Mrs.
Roongo does have a name. She's the gal who helps Bxxzzy Wool take care
of our huskie, and she answers to Carol Shatter. Chances are if you see
a red bonnet around, she'll be under it. (Buzzy makes a dashing Mr.
Roongo, too!)
New flash! "Diamond Jim" Nicholas has been ousted as manager of
the Whiz Kids. Sources retuse to reveal reasons, but mental incapacity
has been mentioned. This, my friends, is the same young man who explains his irresistibility by stating, "Well, the sweet meac is next to the
10 the bone, and tnars me!"
Here's a suggestion for you. When you go into Assembly some morning, keep quiet lor a change and pay attention to Mary Jane Miller 's
organ music. That gal's terrific!
Jitter try counting the head waiters floating around the dinning room
at dinner ? There are scads, believe me. Someone gets plenty 01 supervision , anyway. No wonder we don't finish dinner until seven—wonting
waiter shortage, you know.
I j ust looked back over this, and it struck me as being somewhat
disconnected. Forgiveness, please . . . my mind is already on the coming
vacation and my powers of concentration have diminished considerably.
This is also more serious than I had intended, but occasional sobriety is
good for the soul.
Remember, Christmas is coming!
