Greetings:
I hope to welcome you personally to our campus sometime in September . After four years I hope I shall have the
opportunity of conferring your degree upon you. In the
meantime, we are glad you are coming to Bloomsburg, and
we congratulate you on your choice.
No doubt you have been busy unpacking your books,
clothing, and other personal belongings, but I am wondering
about your intangible luggage. Closed books standing on a
library shelf in neat compact rows are like closed minds,
they are not much good until they are opened and studied.
One of the intangibles we hope you have brought to Bloomsburg is an open mind.
We hope you have brought to the campus a lively curiosity. Curiousity is a necessity to an open mind. If your mind
is open and your curiosity is active during the tour years
you are at Bloomsburg, you will have at the end of four
years a basis for making intelligent decisions.
Now it is up to you.
Cordially yours,

Many Activities
For Freshm an Week

When the large group of students with that certain "Freshmen Look" began registering on
1Monday morning, they soon learned that they were beginning a
very busy week. "Have you had
your physical yet?", and "where
can I buy a Dink?" were the two
most popular questions on that
first big day. In the spanking new
College Council office , Joanne
I Graeber and Bob Ebner were
waiting to sell those important
dinks. Jody and Bob also were on
the lookout for talent, for they
will have the task of producing
\ the FRESHMAN TALENT SHOW
on October 27. The men gathered
on that first evening for a smoker
§n the Husky Lounge and later in
•the evening the women of Waller
lHall enj oyed the first , "Dorm Parity " of the new term. Bright and
¦early Tuesday morning the new
¦class reported to Carver Auditorium to meet the President of the
¦College, Dr . Harvey A. Andruss.
Later the system of placement
testing was explained by Dr . Paul
Wagner, the administrator of the
tests. Following the auditorium
session, campus tours were led by
Joan Reider and Bud Sheridan ,
the newly appointed Hospitality
co-chairmen. At 1:00 p.m. the
rroup returned again to Carver
¦Hall and with some reluctance
¦net the Customs Committee. At
¦this time the cheerleaders began
Ithe annual "Pep Fest for Frosh",
¦which is to help them learn the
¦many traditional songs and cheers
Ipf the college, Following the tak- Ing of the class picture, a tea was
meld for the commuting women.

Co-Pilot Is New
Dorm Handbook

Waller Hall women have been
sporting a new handbook—the CoPilot. Among its many new features are a smaller size, new name,
and a new cover. All of the information within the handbook has
been condensed and revised. The
hard-working staff is to be commended for its fine work : editorin-chief, Martha Starvatow; associate editors, Joan Koch, Nancy
Shipman, Evelyn Gilchrist; typist,
Miriam Miller .

1955 Pilot Has
Many New Features

By this time all have seen or .
should have seen the new 1955
Pilot. This handbook, an informa- ' '
tional aid for all students, is published by members of the Community Government Association.
The 28th volume of the Pilot was
compiled by a group of capable,
hard-working students under the
direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Miller.
The staff responsible for the outstanding result is as follows: Editor-in-chief , Edward Siscoe; Asst.
Editor; Carol Nearing; Art Editor,
Robert Arbogast; Editors, Curtis
English, Ray Hargreaves, Sandy
McBride, Deanna Morgan, John
Moss, Marj orie Meyers and Barbara Tuckwood.
The smaller size of the Pilot is
perhaps its most outstanding feature. A note to freshmen: It's easier to put into your pockets while
participating In those days of customs. For the sport fanatics a new
and complete athletic calendar
with a special place for game
scores is available. This! .rear's
copy of the Pilot has a good-looking, yet durable, covering for
those who are hard on book covers. All students, from freshmen
to seniors, will surely be interested in the detailed social calendar.
For the Pilot staff members, it's a
job successfully done; and for every BSTC student , IT'S A GOOD
THING I

A Statement 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 student at BSTC, you have a clear and decisive say in your paper, paid in large 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 may wish to indulge.
We welcome any criticisms and though we will not please all the
people all the time, our goal is toward that end.
Our policy is this:
1. To publish college news.
Because a newspaper should be just that, in every sense of t h e
word, college news shall take precedence over all other material
submitted tor 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 un it ,
it should De its duty, to inform each group about the interests,
activities, and desires of the other.
3. To provide information concerning activities in other colleges. Toward this purpose an exchange statf is maintained.
4. To provide journalistic experience tor 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 o£ valuable assistance.
5. To provide posterity with authentic college history. The college
library preserves bound issues of the MAROON AND GOi-D
accumulated since the first paper was issued almost thirty years
ago.

Polic y Governin g Fre shman Cus toms
"Customs" is a great tradition of this college. The purpose of this
program is to orient Freshmen into our college community.
While "Customs" is in effect, Freshmen will be subject to the provisions set up in this policy.

that helps students become adj usted to the social demands made upon
them.

DEADLIN E BLUES

Well, here I am minus news
I' ve really got the deadline blues.

Golly gee !!

I've gazed into the crystal ball
And com© up with, fa.shion
predictions for fall.
Last year it was knee socks and
Bermudas f or girls, " V-necked
sweat ers and ch arcoal su it s t or
fellas,. During the summer it was
matching bathing suits lor steady
cou pl es, Italian shirts .and kakhi
Bermudas. What will the newest
lads and fashions be? We 're sur e
that many new and different
styles will probably be tagged
with the '55- 56 look.
1 predict that again this season
the smart co-ed will cling to the
straight, up-and-down silhouette
in spor tsw ear and separates . This
is where those slim, slim skirts
come in. Also revived for a secon d
season are the flannel blazers. The
most popular styles hi the blazers
will again be the charcoal grey,
brown, navy or ivory ilannel. The
he-man shirt will appear again in
many popular styles.
Dyed-to-match separates are
also making news highlights for
fall. Darks combines with brights
.. plaids with solids.. and checks
with plain—all mixing and. matching.
High on the required list for
campus .wardrobes is a versatile
jumper that may be worn solo or
teamed up with jerseys, blouses or
sweaters. These boast many new
necklines and range from pencilslimness to full circles. Some
styles even have suspenders attached to a high-rise waistband.
For leisure time about the campus, Bermuda shorts will shine
again . I believe the knee sock fad
has diod out somewhat because
the summer trend was toward
shorter socks. Taking second spot
to flannel in Bermudas and slacks
will be the kakhi material that has
flourished this summer.
xn party dresses, it s tne long
lean waistline combined with bouifan t skirts. Crinolines will reign
again from study time to dance
time. They will be seen peeking
from under the wide, whirling
skirts to catch the eye—or perhaps heart—of that special guy.
Speaking of fellas, wh at seems
to be new with male fashions ?
The conservative but collegiate
look is featured again. I predict
that the popular V-necked sweaters are here to stay. Charcoal
seems to be tops again for suits.
Plaids are predicted to be a standout t hi s season , and we will see
them in shirts, sport jackets and
sweaters . One of the most popular
plaids for both fellas and gals will
be Black Watch , featuring blue,
green and black.
Even though Bermuda shorts
have been approved and accepted
by some men, I do not predict that
they will become a common sight
among the male populace of
Bloomsburg.
For t h e f ell as an d gals w ho are
wise in the winning ways of campus fashions, there is a full and interesting season ahead. But lets
wait to see whether my predict io ns are tru e. W h o can tell wh at
the newest fads and fashions will
be?

Welcome Freshmen
A hearty welcome to hew and

return in g dorm women ! To you , . ,
Freshmen , it is a new experience
an d to t h e u pperclassmen anot h er
year of study, fun , and excitement.
For al l dorm i tory women , if you

not to do, our new Co-Pilot is

your answer. The Co-Pilot tells

Governing Board, cam p us customs
and the constitution.
As there has been an increase in
t h e num ber of women livin g in
Waller Hall , thirty rooms normally reserved for men will be occupied by women. Another one of
the many changes is that of the
Dean of Women's office to the
first floor of Waller Hall near the
main lobby.
!

The first social event for the
women of Waller Hall was the
'Get-acquainted Big Sister—Little
Sister party " held on Monday evening, September 12 in Waller Hall

agenda is the "Get-acquainted
Tea" on September 26 in the Waller Hall lobby, second floor . Midway through the semester floor
parties are featured with food and
entertainment . The biggest event
of the year is the party honoring
the newly elected Governing Board
members. Speaking of Governing
Board, they are the girls who give
their time and energy for. the
benefit of the group. It's your responsibility to cooperate with
them in all ways to make living
together a pleasant and profitable
experience.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT HB

AS THOSE BACKS GO TEARING BY . . . With the first practice of
he '55 campaign scheduled to get under way the day after Labor Day,
:oach Yohe has under canvass no less than ten varsity letter winners
>vhich he has billed for his four ring extravaganza under the heading
'Husky Backfield 1955." To many people this may seem like a coach's
lream on a Saturday afternoon when you can't seem to run out of backs.
3ut Jack Yohe is cognizant of the problem a situation like this always
resents—Which quartet will get top billing, which four will get the
iod to strut their stuff on the Mansfield Midway come the season's
:urtain raiser October 1.
Sports are not any different than politics, business or what have you
n that nothing is ever a sure thing, but come what may a good bet to
¦<*
get an introduction with a note of
fanfare is the only returning monagram winner at quarterback,
Mike Lashendock. Mike, as a
frosh, understudied the Old Pro,
Dave Linckhorst, as the two helped Jack Yohe convert the singlewing Huskies into T-Formation
advocates. For the next two seasons Mike directed the Yohemen
almost without exception despite
the fact there were as high as
four other signal barkers seeking
his job . As a sophomore Mike was
named to the All-State Teachers
College eleven. Last season the
Little General tried 58 ariels in
the locals eight game card, and
made good on 27 of those, six of
these were for scores. Outside of
Coach Yohe no one knows the system any better than does Mike.
How well the former Kulpmont
star goes this season will undoubtedly tell, probably more than any
other single player, how well the
College Hill Lads will do.
If a pre-season poll were to be
I
taken of the coaches, scribes and
I
others connected with the Teachtrs College Conference as t© what baek has more potential than any
|>ther in the fourteen team loop our guess is the name Jimmy Browning
Ivould appear more often than any other. For the past two seasons Jack
frohe's great negro half-back was named to everybody's all-conference
; earn and was the most thoroughly scouted back in the conference The
'will-o-the-wisp" speed merchant from Mechanicsburg has improved
vith every game from his freshman year to the Kings game. After his
)ack-to-back exhibitions of running against Wilkes and Kings, Jim be. :ame the victim of the Huskies' opponents and their tireless hours of
icouting. It seemed as if they were expecting his every fake, and his
nates were helpless to spring him as they had so successfully done for
he past two seasons. But this year Jack Yohe won't be obliged to enteram his visiting scouts; waiting in the wings are other performers,
>erformers who have been tried and tested and can now ease the spotight off Mercury-footed number 55, and the producer-director of this
ear's extravaganza can blow his whistle and watch the runway unload
Jo Rainey, Harv Boughner, Joe Malczyk, Bobby Grover, Chuck Casper
Cddie Watts, Irv Alexander and Jerry Wood, to mention a few.
At fullback Coach Yohe's primary thought will be the who, where
Men and why angle that is supposed to be the guideposts of news rex>rting. At the outset of the '54 schedule the Husky mentor had a
seemingly unsolvable problem facing him in the question who would
ill Barney Osevala's fullback slot ? But Coach Yohe came up with not
>ne, but two answers—Harv Boughner and Joe Malczyk. Both of these
ell-for-leather number three backs made the Husky faithful conscious
>f the former Killinger understudy's ability to fit backs into a backfield
ike Sgt. Friday puts clues together to solve a case. Harv Boughner the
ersatile Treverton athlete, was a former half back in '53 but made the
witch and proved to be more valuable to the Yohemen at fullback than
le had been at half . He and Joe Malczyk ran a nip and tuck battle for
toe second and third places in the Husky rushing averages last season
aoe sat out a season in '53 because of the transfer rule, but in his first
year as a College Hill gridder he made many of the would-be experts sit
ftp and stick around for the second look.
1 To those fans that remember the Homecoming game of 1952 the name
Bo Rainey is a familiar one. Bo was the Husky running star of that
Afternoon. While he and Bernie Mont shared the halfback duties, Osefala was at full and Linck at quarter. Bo and his brother Ted answered
|he call of the khaki and were gone from Mt . Olympus for two seasons
Whey have now returned ready for another shot at the double chalk
mrks of collegiate goal lines.
With Bo Rainey, primarily a power halfback, back in the line-up,
I -oach Yohe has been pondering the possibility of putting Harv Bougher back at half and Joe "The Mule" Malczyk in at full as a softening
rocess. These three backs are as hard a running trio as the Teachers'
Conference will see in a long while. They could pave the way for the
ghtening-like Browning to come into a game and blind the opposition
'ith speed after they had been sof tened by the fire team of Sherman
anks.
.But maKing all these plans is like trying to pick a winner in the

Kentucky Derby of 1957—the field is too loaded, we are going to have
y have a look at a back who has been priming for the past three years
nd has always given us a good game despite his size, Bobby Grover It
lust be remembered that it was against Mansfield two years ago that
Bob turned in the longest run of the season for all small college backs
It. the nation—103 yard pass interception. Last year Bobby filled in for
ffbach Yohe time and time again at his half back slot and maybe this
Jill be the year for the lean Williamsporter. Chuck Casper, the former
Bellefonte grid star, is one of the hardest running backs, pound for
pu nd, in any league. He will be in tip top shape this season after being
lagued with a leg inj ury in '54. Chuck will either hold down or make
ome one else really hustle for a half back berth. The highly touted
enklntown flash, Eddde Watts, will be ready to exhibit some of his
igh stepping tactics after being hampered most of last year with an
nkle inj ury. Watts could be the perfect running mate for the "will-oj ie-wisp" should Coach Yohe try to soften his opposition with the BullOozer backfleld , then shut off the safety valve when the needle is pointttg toward danger, then let Browning and company use up the full head
V steam that is available.
i Of courso the parade of backs can continue with Irv Alexander and
erry Wood, the former one two punch of Johnny Fredericks at Mechnicsburg High School. Skip Sheridan, the only other returning quarterick, beside Lashendock, will undoubtedly be needed to spell Mike from
me to time and will need every moment of game experience he can
luster because of his position as heir apparent to the little General' s
Jrone. Then too the parade will never be complete until the frosh
acks have made their presence known along with the non-letter winers of a year ago,
