Freshman Parents'
Day Big Success!
More than 250 parents attended
the second annual Freshman Parent's Day held at Bloomsburg
State Teachers College on Sunday,
Ortrv ber 3.
The initial gathering held last
year, proved to be popular and
successful with parents, Freshman
st uden ts, faculty, and the administration of the college.
Invitations were extended to
parents of freshm an stu dents to
attend the church of their choice
in Bloomsburg on Sunday morning.
The Bloomsburg Ministerium gave
recognition to visiting parents
during the services. Members of
the faculty served as hosts and
hostesses when dinner was served
at twelve-thirty p.m. in the college
dining room to students and their
parents.
The general ' convocation for
parents, fre shmen , faculty, and administration was held in Carver
Auditorium at two p.m. During
this time a panel of faculty and
administration members discussed
general college problems and
answered questions.
Following this assembly, members of the various groups had an
opportunity to become better acquainted at an informal gettogether in the newly-decorated
Waller Hall Longue.

Maroon and Gold Band in an entirely different light. Perhaps the
most noticeable change in the
band this year is its size. The
organization has grown to 70
pieces, making it the largest band
since the inception in 1947. This
growth is attributed to the freshman class who have contributed
37 new members.
Accompanying this increase in
size was the problem of providing
the organization with uniforms. It
was found that twenty additional
uniforms would be needed, and,
through the efforts of many individuals and the C.G.A., approval
was given and additional uniforms
have been ordered.
Another new feature of the
band this year will be unveiled
when it makes its first appearance
at Homecoming. This year a drum
major will lead the band for the
Irst time. For this, we are indeed
ortunate because in Donald Schlauch, we think we have one of the

Pi Omega Pi Plans
Future Projects
The first meeting of Pi Omega
Pi was held on September 22, 1955
at 6:00 p.m. in the form of a picnic at a grove near Mainville.
The "Project of the Year" was
decided upon and it is to be the
cleaning of the files in Mr. Gehrig's
office , where the fraternities materials are kept. This committee is
composed of Evelyn Kilpatrdck,
chairman, Theo Jones, and Miriam
Miller.
Teachers' Day was also discussed. It is to be held at the
college on November 5.
This year's officers are: President, Connie Ozalas; Vice-President, June Reese; Secretary, Mim
Miller; Treasurer, Mary Lou
Thornton ; Historian, Evelyn Kilpatrick; and advisor, Mr. Gehrig.
The Friday before customs
found all of us freshmen buying
dinks—many too small, many too
large, but nevertheless they were
maroon -and gold.
Monday morning round everyone tired-eyed from being up way
past twelve getting things ready
for "Kiddie Day ". The girls wore
their skirts above their knees,
combed their hair into pigtails
which stuck out in every direction ;
the boys rolled their trousers up
above their shapely knees and
sported a darling green bow pinned at their necks. Everyone had
a large supply of balloons on hand
because as soon as we had blown
one up, a kind upperclassman came
along and accidentally, of course,
brushed against it with his cigarette, and then BANG! Naturally
this "get-up" was accompanied by
those stylish maroon and gold
dinks that you have seen around
campus and by our name signs
which we must wear until Thanksgiving. Everyone was in tears on
Monday night when we sacrificed
a dear high school souvenir to Leo
and Leona.
xi was evident mat an or tne*
Frosh were j ust dying for rain
because on Tuesday, we all went
out prepared—raincoats, boot s,
and umbrellas. We even went as
far as praying to Bob, the God of
Rain , and finally, after much
pleading, our wish was granted.
The upperclassmen delighted in
emptying their waste cans filled
with water, not paper—that night.
Wednesday, we turned to beggars, and during the day, everyone
asked us if we were coming or
going. Each girl donned an upperclas sman 's shirt and tie, buttoned
down the back, and each boy wore
a head scarf borrowed from an
upperclasswoman and a sign giving
the owner 's name. Beggar's Day
climaxed by a record dance in the
lounge where every girl took a
bag of "goodies". These gifts were
placed in a pile and chosen by a
boy who, in turn, gave the girl a
nonsense erift.
Thursday! was rather difficult
for many of us Frosh, as this was
Civil Defense Day, and we weren't
allowed to talk. I think the upperclassmen enjoyed this day particularly. The members of the
customs committee had a bad
habit of blowing whistles all day,
whereupon all Frosh in hearing
distance threw their books out of
their waste cans, got down on the
ground, put their waste cans over
their heads, and made a noise like
a siren . This was also "Be Kind
To Upperclassmen Day". The
girls carried farmers' matches to
light the cigarettes of the upperclassmen, and the boys carried
Kleenex for the upperclasswomen.
Friday was known as Time
Check Day. Upon the request of an
upperclassman, each Frosh had to
repeat the time check without
error. Each boy and girl also
carried an extra pair of shoes with

Omega was held in Carver Hall
Auditorium on Tuesday, September 20, 1955. Future plans are
now being made for a trip to New
York City to attend a current

Mae Bowman, and Elizabeth
Adams.
The first initiation of the year

Dramatic Club have sufficient
points to qualify for membership.
New Trio To Give
More Husk y Support
Three cheers are offered to a
robust trio of lovely coeds whose
pep and personalities have caused
them to win a decision over thirty
other girls competing for the
position of cheerleading.
These recently chosen rah-rah
gals consist of Annette Williams,
Sophomore; Marjorie Morson and
Anne Beeson, frshmen members.
Little "Netty" Williams is enrolled in the Secondary Curriculum, and hails from. Buttonwood, Pa., (for all of you folks
who just aren't in the know,
Buttonwood is located three miles
from,Wilkes Barre. ) Annette was
a cheerleader for three years at
Hanover Twp. High School, and
was chosen captain of the squad
in her senior year. Here at Bloomsburg, she is a member of the
Science Club, (Secretary for the
past two semesters), Maroon and
Gold staff, and Mixed Chorus.
Nette is an ardent sports fan;
she's "just crazy" about Bill Haley
and his Comets, and states, and I
quote, "I'm 100% for the Valley."
Her ambition is to spend those
leisurely summer months between
teaching semesters vacationing in
Latin America.
Then there s Margie Morson
from Bryn Mawr. Margie really
displayed a great amount of
"spunk" at the Freshman Reception. She and Don Holmes were
the center of attraction; they were
doing the Mambo ! ! Her sweet
and perky personality supports the
fact that she has been a cheerleader since grade seven (captain
of J.V.'s). Also among her high
school activities we discovered that
Margie was Vice-President of both
the Radnor High School Student
Council and the Athletic Association. She was an officer in
the Tri-Hi-Y, and a member of
the chorus. Her main hobby is
sewing (she gets lots of practice
sewing athletic awards on brother
Moe's j ackets, I'll bet.) Among
her pet peeves, Margie lists 8 a.m,
classes. A few of her likes consist
of animals and Mr, Sterling's
j okes ? ? Her foremost ambition
is to be a good "Bloomsburgite".
If more students would take that
same attitude, we could continue
to do even more to provide for a
better Bloomsburg!
Valetta, alias Ann Beesofi, is
the second member of the fresh man cheerleaders. Ann is an
especially proficient cheerleader
from Glenside, Pa. While attending
Abington High School, Anne was
a cheerleader in her junior and
senior years in high school. She
was also a member of the basketball team and was a student
council representative. Sewing,
reading, and sports captivate
Ann 's interests, and when asked of
her likes and dislikes, she replied
"I suppose I like everything really,
but like most people complain
about everything." Her ambition

Ten Commandments On
How To Get Along With Other People
1. Keep skid chains on your
tongue; always say less than
you think. Cultivate a low persuasive voice. How you say it
often counts more than what
you say.
2. Make promises sparingly and
keep them faithfully, no ma tter
what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity pass
to say a kind and encouraging
thing to or about somebody.
Praise good work no matter
who did it , if criti cism i s needed,
give it helpfully, never spitefully.
4. Be interested in others—their
pursuits, their welfare, their
homes and families. Let everyone you meet feel that you consider him a person of importance.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners
of y our mouth turned up. Hide
your pains, worries and disappointments. Laugh at good
stories and learn to tell them.
6. Preserve an open mind on all
debatable questions. Discuss,
but don't argue. It is a mark
of superior minds to disagree
and yet to be friendly.
7. Let your virtues, if you have
any, speak for themselves, and
refuse to talk of another's vices.
Discourage gossip. Say nothing
of another unless it is something
good.
8. Be careful of feelings. Wit at
the other fellow's expense is
rarely worth the effort, and
may hurt.
9. Pay no attention to ill-natured
remarks about you. Simply
live so that nobody will believe
them.
10. Don't be too anxious about your
due. Do your work, be patient,
for get self , and you will be rewarded.

The stage was set for the
faculty and student participation
in your College Council. To all
of you freshmen who don 't know,
this College Council is a cooperative venture by student and
faculty to provide and improve
facilities and relationships within
the college.
Congratulations to faculty, administration, and students for
making Parents' Day the big success it was. This was a fine way
to start the year.
A bouquet, also, to all who attended and enj oyed the President's
Reception and helped maintain
the friendly atmosph ere of the
"College on the Hill".
The prospects for the installation of a drinking fountain
outside the Day Men's Room look
good. This would be an advantage
for the t>ay Men and for all you
library "goers".
I Know we'll all agree with
College Council that Ed Siscoe
and his staff deserve a note of
appreciation for their hard work
on the "Pil ot". Just like everyon e
else at BSTC, the "Pilot" too is
bigger and better this year.
For all of you soft drink lovers,
there's a possibility that the soft
drink dispenser may be located
in the new lounge.
It looks like the band will be

FADS 'n FASHIONS Honor Roll of Hits
by SANDY
After attending the All-college
Reception, it was no problem, at
all to find material for my column.
Anyone would admit that fashion
certainly predominated.
Did n't the freshman girls make
a pretty picture in their multitude
of pastel gowns ? There were so
many attractive outfits that it is
hard to choose a few to describe.
We may have a new female fad
at B.S.T.C. in the form of tiaras.
I am sure that everyone noticed
the sparkling rhinestone tiara set
in the dark curly hair of Renee
Terzopolas. It certainly made a
striking contrast, as did her dark
ihair with her frilly white net
gown.
Turning from brunettes to
blondes, I think of Suzie Young
and "Honey " Pomes. These girls
really took advantage of their
ability as blondes to wear pastel
shades. Suzie wore a very unique
dress of velvet and chiffon. The
top was deep purple velvet and the
street-length skirt was made of
liliac chiffon . A very pretty outfit
with lilac slippers. In another
street-length dress was Honey
Pomes , lqokimg exceptionally
striking in her blue lace princess
style creation .
Vivacious Margie Morson received many compliments on her
halter-necked dress of yellowgreen nylon.
One of the most outstanding
dresses at the dance was Beth
Sprout's ballerina-length gown of
many colors. It had two layers of
black and pink net over an aqua
skirt. Multi-colored spangles decorated the bouffant^'skirt.
Another blonde looking very
attractive in pastel was Marion
Feraslpr in a full-length lavender
gown. She topped off her outfit
with a short silver evening j acket.
From top to toe, Betty Boop
looked sweet in her full white
gown trimmed with tiny pink
rosettes.
Another perky frosh , Weppy
Washington, looked so cute in her
blue net ballerina gown—very
simple and sweet.
inese are out a rew oi tne
many, many attractive outfits that
were seen at the reception. My
sincerest compliments to the freshman class for bringing many
pretty girls and sharp fellows to
our campus.

boxes are blaring wildly with such
songs as Seventeen, by Frankie
Laine, Gum Drop by the Crew

Don't Stay Away Too Long, by
Eddie Fisher. A couple of other
hits on the pop discs that are
really going over great are: The

of artists, and My Bonnie Lassie,
by the Ames Brothers.
Recently, a number of motion

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT HI
by BILL BITNER
WBBM
THIS ALL-STAR BUSINESS . . . All-America is a word as closely
associated with football as the terms forward pass, block, and tackle.
Walter Camp, once a football player at Yale and perhaps this •nation's
strongest early-day (gridiron) voice, started this businessof All-America
picking in 1889. Because nearly all football was played in the East in
the early years of the game, Camp was able to see the important games
and outstanding players. His All-America teams in Collier's magazine
were considered official.
Mr. Camp died in 1925 and since that time, up until last year, the
All-America teams that carry the most prestige are the Associated
Press teams, which are picked by sports writers, and a team named
by the late Grantland Rice, who passed on in 1954. Grantland Rice took
Camp's assignment with Collier's but shifted to Look in
over Walter*
r
1948.
It is recognized that even the trained eyes of the many scribes and
experts that vote on these teams make faulty selections. No one can
watch evecy college team, or even a large portion of the maj or elevens,
should all the great players be on the maj or teams. But then some
writers make the saga of the All-America a little more ridiculous by
making their selections before the first game is even played. That is just
like saying "Look Mom, no hands." They make an All-America out of a
certain lad and then spend the remainder of the season justifying their
early selection and overlooking many others.
The Associated Press, in deference to the smaller schools, selects a
Little All-America team. Many of these players later become outstanding professional players. In fact, a relatively high percentage of the
successful professional players come from the small colleges not eligible
to land nominees on the All-America.
Every football writer (even Scuttlebutt) is involved in this all-star
team business either directly or indirectly, for all-star teams ( this team
includes all colleges in the Eastern part of the United States in our
case), all-state teams (a team which would be made-up of boys who
play for any college in Pennsylvania), and all-conference teams of which
there are three at present in the case of the Teachers College Conference,
Bloomsburg players have been named to all-state teams at least for
the last four years, and it isn't uncommon for the Huskies to have two
and three players named to the all-conference teams, but w e are now
beginning to wonder how much good this will bring our boys. Is there
really a point to all these "dream teams" Jimmy Browning for the last
two seasons was named to so many "all" teams th at even Jim wasn't
able to keep track of all of them. Does this help Jim every year when
he has to worry just like everyone else about making the team ? The
only thing- we can see is that it probably hurts the non-seniors when it
comes to living up to their sometimes too elaborate press build-up. Perhaps it would be a lot easier to name just seniors if this thing is a
"must". It seems as though the intense reader interest in these selections will insure the popularity of the idea for some time to come.
HUSKIES-START SLOW AT MANSFIELD . . . A good football writer may know enough to be a coach. By his close observations at practice and regular conversations with coaches and players he becomes
familiar with the games' many (intricacies). He may hear the coach
reprimand a tackle for a faulty block and observes while the mentor
g ives a demonstration of how it should be done. He watches as the
coach issues a set of passing patterns on the practice field and then
studies them in actual game use. When writing the football story it is
well to know why a play failed, or why it succeeded. With some of these
things in mind we feel somewhat justified in saying the Husky running
attack was slow to anger during the first half of the Mansfield curtain
raiser. The fellow who made the statement that the backs should pay
to get in to see the game didn't have the Bloomsburg backfield in mind
when he said that the Husky ball carriers not only provided the majority of the blocking, but they also made 47 per cent of the tackles during
the first half , so this might account for the time required to get them
into high gear last Saturday.
Husky backs were- able to muster 259 yards net, which is a nice
statistic in any league. They made 123 yards of their total in the third
quarter after a shake-up by Coach Yohe, and then settled down during
the final period with the green help getting most of the exercise. It must
be remembered that Coach Yohe had one of his best backs on the sidelines the whole game in the person of Harv Boughner. This of course
was to give the ailing Treverton Tornado more time to get his knee in
shape. It would have been poor business to send Harv out when he could
make it without him (the reason was to save him for some of the bigger
and we do mean bigger games ahead). Last year we lost Harry Hughes
and Bob Stroup in the Kings game because they wanted to play when
the score showed the Huskies with a commanding four or five touchdown lead. Save them Coach, we're going to need every one we can
muster before this schedule is prolouged.
This Saturday, we play Cortland, at Cortland. Cortland dropped a
12-0 decision to Alfred last Saturday at Alfred, but they looked good
in. going down so we are told. Cortland is a phys. ed. school and should
never be taken too lightly even if they had been beaten 5-0 the week
before. The trip is something that must be taken in consideration and
also the locals don't need to expect any favors on close plays from the
officials. Those of you who saw the Mansfield game know what it is like
when you are away from home. Our prediction — a tough game

over the Mansfield Mountainers.
Bloomsburg dominatd the game
except for a brief moment in the
early minutes of the third quarter
when the upstate Tutors pushed
across their only score. It was the
only real threat they made all
afternoon. Bill Zimmerman took
the second half kick off and galloped 59 yards to the Bloom 36
before being hauled down from the
rear. After Bob Stroup dumped
quarterback Joe Zimmerman for
an eight- yard loss the Huskies
drew a fifteen yard penalty for
illegal use of the hands. This put
the ball in play on the Bloom 30.
Sparked by this break the
Mountaineers drove toward! the
Bloom goal. Mansfield moved to
the two where they had fourth
down and one for a first down. A
smash off tackle provided the
needed yardage and the Tioga
Countians were still in business
just inches short of paydirt. Th eir
first attempt for the six points
was stopped by the Huskie forward wall, but on the second try,
Vince Scircuse was- successful in
crossing the wide stripe. The conversion attempt failed.
The Huskies drew blood the
first time they were in possession
of the ball. After Bo Rainey picked
up 14 yards and 'a first down,
quarterback Lashendock tossed 15
yards to Mo Morson. Again Lashendock f aded back , but this time
he threw to Jimmy Browning who
snatched the ball from the Mansfield defender and then stepped
into the end zone. Bo Rainey's
conversion made the score read
7-0.
The Huskies struck again an the
first period. Morson's recovery of
a Mansfield fumble set up the opportunity. Lashendock first tried
to hit Rainey, but he overshot the
big halfback in the end zone. Mike
then connected with Morson, who
had eluded one defender and then
bulled his way over another to
score. Rainey again converted
making it 14-0.
The second quarter saw a seesaw battle with neither team being
able to substain a drive or capitalize on a break. Ken Wood, a
freshman from Mechanicsburg,
played a beautiful game; a guard
for the Huskie squad. Other notable performances were turned in
by Bo Rainey, who suffered a
shoulder inj ury but is expected to
be ready for the next weeek's
game. Bob Groover did some nice
ball carrying, and Charlie Skiptunas was a defensive rock.
Alter Mansneid opened the second half with their only touchdown the Huskies started to move
again. Groover and Gerry Wood
both picked up considerable yardage before Bo Rainey scored
standing up from six yards out. Bo
also added the extra point pushing
the score to 21-6.
A 55 yard scamper to the Mansfield 19 by Eddie Watts put the
Huskies in position for their final
tally. Groover, Watts, and Malczyk
combined forces to put the ball
on the 6. On fourth down Frank
Kren, a sophomore from Forty
Fort, crashed off tackle and battled his way across the goal. Irv
Alexander missed on his attempt
to add the point, leaving the score
read 27-6. At this time, Coach
Yohe cleared the bench in an effort
to give experience to the younger
boys.
Although the score is a little one
sided, there is no question that
the game was hard fought.
The Mountaineers had a larger,
more experienced line than Bloom,
but the Huskies are not to be
denied the fact that once they got
started, they outplayed their op- '
ponents. If this game is an indication of things to come, I'm
sure Bloomsburg fans and team
are in for a successful season of
football.

Hi all you glad-to-get-back-to-classes-after-vacation students! Gad ,
with a beginning like that, this could pass for the N.E.A. Journal. Don't
let it worry you gang, we're just trying to impress the freshmen. After
all, majority rules; and judging by the number of dinks walking around,
they seem to be the majority.
Speaking of dinks—is one of the town stores selling them ? We counted 34% dink-clad heads going into one of the ( pardon our French )
femme shows; and perish the thought, they couldn't have been frosh.
Our basketball players were pretty lucky this year at the fair. Bob
Boyle and Jim Gustav each won a Panda and it only cost them the low,
low, sum of $75.00. Let's see, that's only 6,000 cigarettes they'll have to
do without. How's that for figuring ?
While we were writing this piece of literature (?) in the Grille, we
heard a Bloomsburg High School boy telling his friend that he quit
school in ninth grade because his father was in tenth and he didn't want
to pass him. The other kid said, "That's nothing, I got kicked out of
fourth grade for not shaving." Oh, to student-teach in Bloomsburg High
School. Oh, for an extra hole in the head!!
There'll be no gloves this winter. At least not for Marlene Kostenbauder, Lois Gobrecht, Shirley Trego and Marion Walsh. Those rocks
on. the third fingers of their left hands are better than Anthracite. Don't
get shook; the girls with pins are still going to wear blouses. And that
little piece of info comes from an authority.
Question : Why was the Grille vibrating during fair week?
Answer: The overtones from Len Tone's comboin the little red school
house shook the whole town. But, what really drew the crowd
(so we're told) was the efficient waiter service of Charles Pucky
and John Villania. Wish we could've seen them in their little
white coats, don't you ?
We
ll, we messed up Mansfield. Chalk one up for us—only seven more
to go. Here's hoping.' With those new cheerleaders, Margie Morson, Annette Willi ams, and Ann Beeson plus the new coach, Mr. Blair, as inspirations, how can we miss ?! ? ?
Did Greek goddesses really wear cheesecloth? Or weren't those girls
Greek ? Anyway, thank heaven it was warm that night. Leo and Leona
must have been pleased with the sacrifices 'cause we haven't heard them
roaring lately. Is that a good sign?! ? ?
Did you hear the rumors about the freshman girls who went up too
many flights of stairs in firetower D? What do they think it is—Homecoming? More power to you if you can get away with it.
Everybody is picking on poor Alan Kleinshrodt—even Dean Hoch. We
overheard him telling Al that he was glad to see the Benj amin Franklin
school represented at the President's Reception. Last year it was Mr .
Yohe who wanted to ruin his swimming in the washbowl by pulling
the plug out of the drain. Honestly, it just isn't safe to be under 6'3".
Since we're under 6'3", we'll go into hiding for awhile and let Paul

Journalism J argon
As the clackity-clack of the
typewriter fills room four during
j ournalism class each day, some
of the strangest samples of the
English language are sent to and
fro in the air.
"You, as legman," says the editor-in-chief to a reporter, "should
look in the morgue when you want
dope for a follow. "
"O.K., I'll do that." comes the
reply.
"By the way, did my latest sob
story meet the cut-off test?"
"Yes," says the editor, "but it
was so padded that it had to be
jumped."
The preceding piece of j abberwockey is part of a fascinating
lingo known as "j ournalism jargon." It is a sort of code language
used by journalism students and
newspapermen when they refer to
obj ects and processes associated
with the press.
Some of the terms are:
legman—the reporter who gathers
the facts for a story.
morgue—place dn a newspaper office where reference material
and stories for future use are
kept.
dope—information or fects upon
which a story is based.
follow-story—giving latest facts
about an event that has already
been treated in previous editions.
sob story—a story that appeals to
the reader 's sympathy.
cut-off test—a story that meets
the "cut-off test" is one written
with the least significant facts
at the end, so that the last few
sentences may be cut from the
story without ruining its effect.
pad—to lengthen a story by elaboration or adding unnecessary
details.
jump—to continue a story on another page.
legend—written explanation that
accompanies a photograph or
cartoon.
dope—a story that by mistake appears twice in a paper.
kill—to destroy a story or a part
of it before it is published.
bullpup—early edition of a Sunday
paper that is mailed to distant
points.
cub—a beginning reporter.
dingbats—small ornaments placed
below headlines for decorative
purposes,
slug:—line of type set by a linotype

Maroon and Gold Band in an entirely different light. Perhaps the
most noticeable change in the
band this year is its size. The
organization has grown to 70
pieces, making it the largest band
since the inception in 1947. This
growth is attributed to the freshman class who have contributed
37 new members.
Accompanying this increase in
size was the problem of providing
the organization with uniforms. It
was found that twenty additional
uniforms would be needed, and,
through the efforts of many individuals and the C.G.A., approval
was given and additional uniforms
have been ordered.
Another new feature of the
band this year will be unveiled
when it makes its first appearance
at Homecoming. This year a drum
major will lead the band for the
Irst time. For this, we are indeed
ortunate because in Donald Schlauch, we think we have one of the

Pi Omega Pi Plans
Future Projects
The first meeting of Pi Omega
Pi was held on September 22, 1955
at 6:00 p.m. in the form of a picnic at a grove near Mainville.
The "Project of the Year" was
decided upon and it is to be the
cleaning of the files in Mr. Gehrig's
office , where the fraternities materials are kept. This committee is
composed of Evelyn Kilpatrdck,
chairman, Theo Jones, and Miriam
Miller.
Teachers' Day was also discussed. It is to be held at the
college on November 5.
This year's officers are: President, Connie Ozalas; Vice-President, June Reese; Secretary, Mim
Miller; Treasurer, Mary Lou
Thornton ; Historian, Evelyn Kilpatrick; and advisor, Mr. Gehrig.
The Friday before customs
found all of us freshmen buying
dinks—many too small, many too
large, but nevertheless they were
maroon -and gold.
Monday morning round everyone tired-eyed from being up way
past twelve getting things ready
for "Kiddie Day ". The girls wore
their skirts above their knees,
combed their hair into pigtails
which stuck out in every direction ;
the boys rolled their trousers up
above their shapely knees and
sported a darling green bow pinned at their necks. Everyone had
a large supply of balloons on hand
because as soon as we had blown
one up, a kind upperclassman came
along and accidentally, of course,
brushed against it with his cigarette, and then BANG! Naturally
this "get-up" was accompanied by
those stylish maroon and gold
dinks that you have seen around
campus and by our name signs
which we must wear until Thanksgiving. Everyone was in tears on
Monday night when we sacrificed
a dear high school souvenir to Leo
and Leona.
xi was evident mat an or tne*
Frosh were j ust dying for rain
because on Tuesday, we all went
out prepared—raincoats, boot s,
and umbrellas. We even went as
far as praying to Bob, the God of
Rain , and finally, after much
pleading, our wish was granted.
The upperclassmen delighted in
emptying their waste cans filled
with water, not paper—that night.
Wednesday, we turned to beggars, and during the day, everyone
asked us if we were coming or
going. Each girl donned an upperclas sman 's shirt and tie, buttoned
down the back, and each boy wore
a head scarf borrowed from an
upperclasswoman and a sign giving
the owner 's name. Beggar's Day
climaxed by a record dance in the
lounge where every girl took a
bag of "goodies". These gifts were
placed in a pile and chosen by a
boy who, in turn, gave the girl a
nonsense erift.
Thursday! was rather difficult
for many of us Frosh, as this was
Civil Defense Day, and we weren't
allowed to talk. I think the upperclassmen enjoyed this day particularly. The members of the
customs committee had a bad
habit of blowing whistles all day,
whereupon all Frosh in hearing
distance threw their books out of
their waste cans, got down on the
ground, put their waste cans over
their heads, and made a noise like
a siren . This was also "Be Kind
To Upperclassmen Day". The
girls carried farmers' matches to
light the cigarettes of the upperclassmen, and the boys carried
Kleenex for the upperclasswomen.
Friday was known as Time
Check Day. Upon the request of an
upperclassman, each Frosh had to
repeat the time check without
error. Each boy and girl also
carried an extra pair of shoes with

New Trio To Give
More Husk y Support
Three cheers are offered to a
robust trio of lovely coeds whose
pep and personalities have caused
them to win a decision over thirty
other girls competing for the
position of cheerleading.
These recently chosen rah-rah
gals consist of Annette Williams,
Sophomore; Marjorie Morson and
Anne Beeson, frshmen members.
Little "Netty" Williams is enrolled in the Secondary Curriculum, and hails from. Buttonwood, Pa., (for all of you folks
who just aren't in the know,
Buttonwood is located three miles
from,Wilkes Barre. ) Annette was
a cheerleader for three years at
Hanover Twp. High School, and
was chosen captain of the squad
in her senior year. Here at Bloomsburg, she is a member of the
Science Club, (Secretary for the
past two semesters), Maroon and
Gold staff, and Mixed Chorus.
Nette is an ardent sports fan;
she's "just crazy" about Bill Haley
and his Comets, and states, and I
quote, "I'm 100% for the Valley."
Her ambition is to spend those
leisurely summer months between
teaching semesters vacationing in
Latin America.
Then there s Margie Morson
from Bryn Mawr. Margie really
displayed a great amount of
"spunk" at the Freshman Reception. She and Don Holmes were
the center of attraction; they were
doing the Mambo ! ! Her sweet
and perky personality supports the
fact that she has been a cheerleader since grade seven (captain
of J.V.'s). Also among her high
school activities we discovered that
Margie was Vice-President of both
the Radnor High School Student
Council and the Athletic Association. She was an officer in
the Tri-Hi-Y, and a member of
the chorus. Her main hobby is
sewing (she gets lots of practice
sewing athletic awards on brother
Moe's j ackets, I'll bet.) Among
her pet peeves, Margie lists 8 a.m,
classes. A few of her likes consist
of animals and Mr, Sterling's
j okes ? ? Her foremost ambition
is to be a good "Bloomsburgite".
If more students would take that
same attitude, we could continue
to do even more to provide for a
better Bloomsburg!
Valetta, alias Ann Beesofi, is
the second member of the fresh man cheerleaders. Ann is an
especially proficient cheerleader
from Glenside, Pa. While attending
Abington High School, Anne was
a cheerleader in her junior and
senior years in high school. She
was also a member of the basketball team and was a student
council representative. Sewing,
reading, and sports captivate
Ann 's interests, and when asked of
her likes and dislikes, she replied
"I suppose I like everything really,
but like most people complain
about everything." Her ambition

Ten Commandments On
How To Get Along With Other People
1. Keep skid chains on your
tongue; always say less than
you think. Cultivate a low persuasive voice. How you say it
often counts more than what
you say.
2. Make promises sparingly and
keep them faithfully, no ma tter
what it costs you.
3. Never let an opportunity pass
to say a kind and encouraging
thing to or about somebody.
Praise good work no matter
who did it , if criti cism i s needed,
give it helpfully, never spitefully.
4. Be interested in others—their
pursuits, their welfare, their
homes and families. Let everyone you meet feel that you consider him a person of importance.
5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners
of y our mouth turned up. Hide
your pains, worries and disappointments. Laugh at good
stories and learn to tell them.
6. Preserve an open mind on all
debatable questions. Discuss,
but don't argue. It is a mark
of superior minds to disagree
and yet to be friendly.
7. Let your virtues, if you have
any, speak for themselves, and
refuse to talk of another's vices.
Discourage gossip. Say nothing
of another unless it is something
good.
8. Be careful of feelings. Wit at
the other fellow's expense is
rarely worth the effort, and
may hurt.
9. Pay no attention to ill-natured
remarks about you. Simply
live so that nobody will believe
them.
10. Don't be too anxious about your
due. Do your work, be patient,
for get self , and you will be rewarded.

The stage was set for the
faculty and student participation
in your College Council. To all
of you freshmen who don 't know,
this College Council is a cooperative venture by student and
faculty to provide and improve
facilities and relationships within
the college.
Congratulations to faculty, administration, and students for
making Parents' Day the big success it was. This was a fine way
to start the year.
A bouquet, also, to all who attended and enj oyed the President's
Reception and helped maintain
the friendly atmosph ere of the
"College on the Hill".
The prospects for the installation of a drinking fountain
outside the Day Men's Room look
good. This would be an advantage
for the t>ay Men and for all you
library "goers".
I Know we'll all agree with
College Council that Ed Siscoe
and his staff deserve a note of
appreciation for their hard work
on the "Pil ot". Just like everyon e
else at BSTC, the "Pilot" too is
bigger and better this year.
For all of you soft drink lovers,
there's a possibility that the soft
drink dispenser may be located
in the new lounge.
It looks like the band will be

FADS 'n FASHIONS Honor Roll of Hits
by SANDY
After attending the All-college
Reception, it was no problem, at
all to find material for my column.
Anyone would admit that fashion
certainly predominated.
Did n't the freshman girls make
a pretty picture in their multitude
of pastel gowns ? There were so
many attractive outfits that it is
hard to choose a few to describe.
We may have a new female fad
at B.S.T.C. in the form of tiaras.
I am sure that everyone noticed
the sparkling rhinestone tiara set
in the dark curly hair of Renee
Terzopolas. It certainly made a
striking contrast, as did her dark
ihair with her frilly white net
gown.
Turning from brunettes to
blondes, I think of Suzie Young
and "Honey " Pomes. These girls
really took advantage of their
ability as blondes to wear pastel
shades. Suzie wore a very unique
dress of velvet and chiffon. The
top was deep purple velvet and the
street-length skirt was made of
liliac chiffon . A very pretty outfit
with lilac slippers. In another
street-length dress was Honey
Pomes , lqokimg exceptionally
striking in her blue lace princess
style creation .
Vivacious Margie Morson received many compliments on her
halter-necked dress of yellowgreen nylon.
One of the most outstanding
dresses at the dance was Beth
Sprout's ballerina-length gown of
many colors. It had two layers of
black and pink net over an aqua
skirt. Multi-colored spangles decorated the bouffant^'skirt.
Another blonde looking very
attractive in pastel was Marion
Feraslpr in a full-length lavender
gown. She topped off her outfit
with a short silver evening j acket.
From top to toe, Betty Boop
looked sweet in her full white
gown trimmed with tiny pink
rosettes.
Another perky frosh , Weppy
Washington, looked so cute in her
blue net ballerina gown—very
simple and sweet.
inese are out a rew oi tne
many, many attractive outfits that
were seen at the reception. My
sincerest compliments to the freshman class for bringing many
pretty girls and sharp fellows to
our campus.

As we get back into the swing

into the swing of popular music
here at B.S.T.C. The local j uke
boxes are blaring wildly with such
songs as Seventeen, by Frankie
Laine, Gum Drop by the Crew

Don't Stay Away Too Long, by
Eddie Fisher. A couple of other
hits on the pop discs that are
really going over great are: The
Yellow Rose of Texas, by a number
of artists, and My Bonnie Lassie,
by the Ames Brothers.
Recently, a number of motion

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT HI
by BILL BITNER
WBBM
THIS ALL-STAR BUSINESS . . . All-America is a word as closely
associated with football as the terms forward pass, block, and tackle.
Walter Camp, once a football player at Yale and perhaps this •nation's
strongest early-day (gridiron) voice, started this businessof All-America
picking in 1889. Because nearly all football was played in the East in
the early years of the game, Camp was able to see the important games
and outstanding players. His All-America teams in Collier's magazine
were considered official.
Mr. Camp died in 1925 and since that time, up until last year, the
All-America teams that carry the most prestige are the Associated
Press teams, which are picked by sports writers, and a team named
by the late Grantland Rice, who passed on in 1954. Grantland Rice took
Camp's assignment with Collier's but shifted to Look in
over Walter*
r
1948.
It is recognized that even the trained eyes of the many scribes and
experts that vote on these teams make faulty selections. No one can
watch evecy college team, or even a large portion of the maj or elevens,
should all the great players be on the maj or teams. But then some
writers make the saga of the All-America a little more ridiculous by
making their selections before the first game is even played. That is just
like saying "Look Mom, no hands." They make an All-America out of a
certain lad and then spend the remainder of the season justifying their
early selection and overlooking many others.
The Associated Press, in deference to the smaller schools, selects a
Little All-America team. Many of these players later become outstanding professional players. In fact, a relatively high percentage of the
successful professional players come from the small colleges not eligible
to land nominees on the All-America.
Every football writer (even Scuttlebutt) is involved in this all-star
team business either directly or indirectly, for all-star teams ( this team
includes all colleges in the Eastern part of the United States in our
case), all-state teams (a team which would be made-up of boys who
play for any college in Pennsylvania), and all-conference teams of which
there are three at present in the case of the Teachers College Conference,
Bloomsburg players have been named to all-state teams at least for
the last four years, and it isn't uncommon for the Huskies to have two
and three players named to the all-conference teams, but w e are now
beginning to wonder how much good this will bring our boys. Is there
really a point to all these "dream teams" Jimmy Browning for the last
two seasons was named to so many "all" teams th at even Jim wasn't
able to keep track of all of them. Does this help Jim every year when
he has to worry just like everyone else about making the team ? The
only thing- we can see is that it probably hurts the non-seniors when it
comes to living up to their sometimes too elaborate press build-up. Perhaps it would be a lot easier to name just seniors if this thing is a
"must". It seems as though the intense reader interest in these selections will insure the popularity of the idea for some time to come.
HUSKIES-START SLOW AT MANSFIELD . . . A good football writer may know enough to be a coach. By his close observations at practice and regular conversations with coaches and players he becomes
familiar with the games' many (intricacies). He may hear the coach
reprimand a tackle for a faulty block and observes while the mentor
g ives a demonstration of how it should be done. He watches as the
coach issues a set of passing patterns on the practice field and then
studies them in actual game use. When writing the football story it is
well to know why a play failed, or why it succeeded. With some of these
things in mind we feel somewhat justified in saying the Husky running
attack was slow to anger during the first half of the Mansfield curtain
raiser. The fellow who made the statement that the backs should pay
to get in to see the game didn't have the Bloomsburg backfield in mind
when he said that the Husky ball carriers not only provided the majority of the blocking, but they also made 47 per cent of the tackles during
the first half , so this might account for the time required to get them
into high gear last Saturday.
Husky backs were- able to muster 259 yards net, which is a nice
statistic in any league. They made 123 yards of their total in the third
quarter after a shake-up by Coach Yohe, and then settled down during
the final period with the green help getting most of the exercise. It must
be remembered that Coach Yohe had one of his best backs on the sidelines the whole game in the person of Harv Boughner. This of course
was to give the ailing Treverton Tornado more time to get his knee in
shape. It would have been poor business to send Harv out when he could
make it without him (the reason was to save him for some of the bigger
and we do mean bigger games ahead). Last year we lost Harry Hughes
and Bob Stroup in the Kings game because they wanted to play when
the score showed the Huskies with a commanding four or five touchdown lead. Save them Coach, we're going to need every one we can
muster before this schedule is prolouged.
This Saturday, we play Cortland, at Cortland. Cortland dropped a
12-0 decision to Alfred last Saturday at Alfred, but they looked good
in. going down so we are told. Cortland is a phys. ed. school and should
never be taken too lightly even if they had been beaten 5-0 the week
before. The trip is something that must be taken in consideration and
also the locals don't need to expect any favors on close plays from the
officials. Those of you who saw the Mansfield game know what it is like
when you are away from home. Our prediction — a tough game

over the Mansfield Mountainers.
Bloomsburg dominatd the game
except for a brief moment in the
early minutes of the third quarter
when the upstate Tutors pushed
across their only score. It was the
only real threat they made all
afternoon. Bill Zimmerman took
the second half kick off and galloped 59 yards to the Bloom 36
before being hauled down from the
rear. After Bob Stroup dumped
quarterback Joe Zimmerman for
an eight- yard loss the Huskies
drew a fifteen yard penalty for
illegal use of the hands. This put
the ball in play on the Bloom 30.
Sparked by this break the
Mountaineers drove toward! the
Bloom goal. Mansfield moved to
the two where they had fourth
down and one for a first down. A
smash off tackle provided the
needed yardage and the Tioga
Countians were still in business
just inches short of paydirt. Th eir
first attempt for the six points
was stopped by the Huskie forward wall, but on the second try,
Vince Scircuse was- successful in
crossing the wide stripe. The conversion attempt failed.
The Huskies drew blood the
first time they were in possession
of the ball. After Bo Rainey picked
up 14 yards and 'a first down,
quarterback Lashendock tossed 15
yards to Mo Morson. Again Lashendock f aded back , but this time
he threw to Jimmy Browning who
snatched the ball from the Mansfield defender and then stepped
into the end zone. Bo Rainey's
conversion made the score read
7-0.
The Huskies struck again an the
first period. Morson's recovery of
a Mansfield fumble set up the opportunity. Lashendock first tried
to hit Rainey, but he overshot the
big halfback in the end zone. Mike
then connected with Morson, who
had eluded one defender and then
bulled his way over another to
score. Rainey again converted
making it 14-0.
The second quarter saw a seesaw battle with neither team being
able to substain a drive or capitalize on a break. Ken Wood, a
freshman from Mechanicsburg,
played a beautiful game; a guard
for the Huskie squad. Other notable performances were turned in
by Bo Rainey, who suffered a
shoulder inj ury but is expected to
be ready for the next weeek's
game. Bob Groover did some nice
ball carrying, and Charlie Skiptunas was a defensive rock.
Alter Mansneid opened the second half with their only touchdown the Huskies started to move
again. Groover and Gerry Wood
both picked up considerable yardage before Bo Rainey scored
standing up from six yards out. Bo
also added the extra point pushing
the score to 21-6.
A 55 yard scamper to the Mansfield 19 by Eddie Watts put the
Huskies in position for their final
tally. Groover, Watts, and Malczyk
combined forces to put the ball
on the 6. On fourth down Frank
Kren, a sophomore from Forty
Fort, crashed off tackle and battled his way across the goal. Irv
Alexander missed on his attempt
to add the point, leaving the score
read 27-6. At this time, Coach
Yohe cleared the bench in an effort
to give experience to the younger
boys.
Although the score is a little one
sided, there is no question that
the game was hard fought.
The Mountaineers had a larger,
more experienced line than Bloom,
but the Huskies are not to be
denied the fact that once they got
started, they outplayed their op- '
ponents. If this game is an indication of things to come, I'm
sure Bloomsburg fans and team
are in for a successful season of
football.

feeling that the meetings are unfair. The punishments are not given so much in the spirit of good

for upperclassmen to haze Freshmen. Boys who have been tried by
the Tribunal and found to be guilty are given the paddle treatment.

Hi all you glad-to-get-back-to-classes-after-vacation students! Gad ,
with a beginning like that, this could pass for the N.E.A. Journal. Don't
let it worry you gang, we're just trying to impress the freshmen. After
all, majority rules; and judging by the number of dinks walking around,
they seem to be the majority.
Speaking of dinks—is one of the town stores selling them ? We counted 34% dink-clad heads going into one of the ( pardon our French )
femme shows; and perish the thought, they couldn't have been frosh.
Our basketball players were pretty lucky this year at the fair. Bob
Boyle and Jim Gustav each won a Panda and it only cost them the low,
low, sum of $75.00. Let's see, that's only 6,000 cigarettes they'll have to
do without. How's that for figuring ?
While we were writing this piece of literature (?) in the Grille, we
heard a Bloomsburg High School boy telling his friend that he quit
school in ninth grade because his father was in tenth and he didn't want
to pass him. The other kid said, "That's nothing, I got kicked out of
fourth grade for not shaving." Oh, to student-teach in Bloomsburg High
School. Oh, for an extra hole in the head!!
There'll be no gloves this winter. At least not for Marlene Kostenbauder, Lois Gobrecht, Shirley Trego and Marion Walsh. Those rocks
on. the third fingers of their left hands are better than Anthracite. Don't
get shook; the girls with pins are still going to wear blouses. And that
little piece of info comes from an authority.
Question : Why was the Grille vibrating during fair week?
Answer: The overtones from Len Tone's comboin the little red school
house shook the whole town. But, what really drew the crowd
(so we're told) was the efficient waiter service of Charles Pucky
and John Villania. Wish we could've seen them in their little
white coats, don't you ?

Did Greek goddesses really wear cheesecloth? Or weren't those girls
Greek ? Anyway, thank heaven it was warm that night. Leo and Leona
must have been pleased with the sacrifices 'cause we haven't heard them
roaring lately. Is that a good sign?! ? ?
Did you hear the rumors about the freshman girls who went up too
many flights of stairs in firetower D? What do they think it is—Homecoming? More power to you if you can get away with it.
Everybody is picking on poor Alan Kleinshrodt—even Dean Hoch. We
overheard him telling Al that he was glad to see the Benj amin Franklin
school represented at the President's Reception. Last year it was Mr .
Yohe who wanted to ruin his swimming in the washbowl by pulling
the plug out of the drain. Honestly, it just isn't safe to be under 6'3".

Journalism J argon
As the clackity-clack of the
typewriter fills room four during
j ournalism class each day, some
of the strangest samples of the
English language are sent to and
fro in the air.
"You, as legman," says the editor-in-chief to a reporter, "should
look in the morgue when you want
dope for a follow. "
"O.K., I'll do that." comes the
reply.
"By the way, did my latest sob
story meet the cut-off test?"
"Yes," says the editor, "but it
was so padded that it had to be
jumped."
The preceding piece of j abberwockey is part of a fascinating
lingo known as "j ournalism jargon." It is a sort of code language
used by journalism students and
newspapermen when they refer to
obj ects and processes associated
with the press.
Some of the terms are:
legman—the reporter who gathers
the facts for a story.
morgue—place dn a newspaper office where reference material
and stories for future use are
kept.
dope—information or fects upon
which a story is based.
follow-story—giving latest facts
about an event that has already
been treated in previous editions.
sob story—a story that appeals to
the reader 's sympathy.
cut-off test—a story that meets
the "cut-off test" is one written
with the least significant facts
at the end, so that the last few
sentences may be cut from the
story without ruining its effect.
pad—to lengthen a story by elaboration or adding unnecessary
details.
jump—to continue a story on another page.
legend—written explanation that
accompanies a photograph or
cartoon.
dope—a story that by mistake appears twice in a paper.
kill—to destroy a story or a part
of it before it is published.
bullpup—early edition of a Sunday
paper that is mailed to distant
points.
cub—a beginning reporter.
dingbats—small ornaments placed
below headlines for decorative
purposes,
slug:—line of type set by a linotype
( typesetting) machine.
