FRIDAY 13: SORCERER'S BALL
Bud Sheridan Emcees
All College Talent Show
In Carver Auditorium
Int roducing Bud—"He may not have Godfrey's money, but he's got
his red hair!"—Sheridan, as Master of Ceremonies for the All-College
Talent Show held in Assembly, March 27, 1956.
To begin the show, a sextet composed of John Seaman, Al Nuss, Bob
Biever , Dotty Horning, Carol Nearing, and Nancy Pearce put their
heads together, as well as their voices to produce fast moving harmony
to "Do You Know Where God
Lives?" Helping to create that

Dr* Paul Wagner
Completes Study
Of Freshmen
Dr . E. Paul Wagner, Professor
of Psychology, has recently completed a two-year study of Bloomsburg students entitled "The SocioEconomic Background of 1952
BSTC Freshmen Compared with
1949 BSTC Freshmen and Thirteen
Other Teachers Colleges' 1949
Freshmen".
The purposes of this study are
(1) to survey home environment
and parental background—those
factors beyond the control of student s, (2) to show the cultural,
educational , and social characteristics of B.S.T.C. students—factors
which are within the control of
students and which stem frosn
their environment , (3) to take the
data of socio-economic background
of 1952 freshmen and make possible comparisons with findings of
other studies. Also, to point out
the progress, changes, and trends
indicated.
The findings of the study are
exhaustive and detailed. Copies
will be placed in the near future
in the College library for anyone
interested, but for your immediate
information we will include some
of the more interesting facts about
the 1952 Bloomsburg freshman.
The male population had an
edge on the female (58% to 42%),
but all were between the ages of
seventeen and twenty-eight with
the median age 18.7 years. Most
of them were born in Pennsylvania, and all were natural citizens of the United States, with
German, Engli sh , Scotch, and Polish heading the list of parental
nationalities.
Thirteen per cent of their fathers graduated from college out of
the 21% that attended , and the
median income of parents in 1952
was $4380.
Most fresnmen came rrom communities having a population of
5,000 to 30,000. A study of the
types of high school curriculums
attended reveals the academic
curriculum far in the lead. High
school subj ects most liked were
social science and English, while
those least enj oyed were math and
natural science.
Types of work which the students engaged in previous to coming to college included a wide and
diversified number , but those relating to the teaching profession
included clerical, playground, and
Sunday School work.
One of the main reasons for
choosing teaching as a career was
the desire to work with children ,
while nearness to home and low
tuition rates helped to make
Bloomsburg the desired college.
Students obtained the money for
their educational purposes from
parents, personal savings, parttime jobs, the G.I. Bill, and, last
and least, scholarships.

ALPHA PSI OMEGA
The last regular meeting of Alpha Psi Omega was held March 13
in Carver Auditorium.
The program for the evening
consisted of the initiation of four
new members: Kay Kerl, Barbara
Brunner , Margaret Wilkinson and
Nancy Homsher. A social hour in
the social rooms of Science Hall
followed.
Alpha Psi Omega had cooperated
with the Dramatic Club in presenting their three act public play,
"Guest in the House" presented
April 10.
The VA has recently disclosed that the college campus is attracting
one out of every two Korean veterans training under the Korean GI
Bill. This 50-50 proportion marks a different trend from that established
by the World War II GI Bill, under which less than one-third of all
veteran-trainees attended college.
By t h e end of 1955, veterans who had taken Korean GI college training numbered two-thirds of a million, or 51 percent of the total of
1,300,000 veterans who have received all types of Korean GI Bill training. On the other hand, college-trained World War II veterans totaled
more than 2,000,000—a much lower proportionof the 7,800,000 who took
all types of World War II GI training.
The VA also disclosed that the average Korean veteran probably will
receive as much training as the average veteran of World War II, despite the fact that the Korean veterans cannot build up as much entitlement as their fellow-veterans of World War II were permitted by law to
accumulate.
Based on experience to date, the VA said Korean veterans are expected to use about two-thirds of their average available entitlement of 31
months—which would mean about 20 months. World War II veterans
average 40 months of GI entitlement, and used half of it—also 20
months.
The VA survey revealed a growing tendency for newly discharged
Korean veterans to begin GI training shortly after their return to civilian life, without wasting much time. In 1953, nearly 12 percent of the
new Korean veterans started their training during the year of their discharge. In 1954, the proportion rose to 15 percent, and in 1955 it exceeded 16 percent.
Those who enroll in colleges and universities and those taking j ob
training act the fastest, starting within six months after donning civilian
clothes. Those enrolling in schools below the college level wait an average of nine months before they begin. This is an important point when
we realize that the Korean GI Bill deadline for starting is three years
from the date of discharge.
Those now entering the speech
field are getting in on the groun d
floor and can be of great service
to society.
Mr. Brooks urged that graduate
work be taken when at all possible. A few of the fields in which
one can do work at the Penn State
Clinic are aphasia, cleft palate,
and stuttering. Mr , Brooks stated
that there are two types of degrees which one may acquire, a
Master of Education and a Master
of Science. The Master of Science
degree requires the writing of a
thesis on an original subj ect , or
one that has been written but is
open to question. The masters degree requires 30 credit hours,

Masters of Modern Art, edited by
Alfred H. Barr, Jr. The pictures
are primarily to give pleasure, but
each painting, drawing, or sculpture is accompanied by a commentary on the work which explains
what the work is about. This book
can be found in the Reference section of the library.
Many of the work of Anton
Chekhov, although he is generally
considered one of the world's
greatest story tellers, have remained untranslated. The Unk n o w n. Chekhov presents Mr.
Chekhov in a new light; as a journalist and writer of non-fiction.
The sketches contained in this
book show Chekhov's remarkable
descriptive powers, and are also
an important record of Old Russia. Contained also in this book
is the short story, "The Peasants",
considered as one of Chekhov's
greatest which is made available
for the first time in its entirety.
The President of the United
States by E. B. Fincher was written for young people of high school
age to be used in conj unction with
their civics and social studies
courses. As future teachers of these
young people we can also find much
here that we may have known and
forgotten. Mr. Fincher first explains who may be President, then
goes on to describe the selection
of a presidential candidate and
presidential elections.
He also includes chapters on
the Presidential office and a description of the official family.
All these books are new to our
library. These, along with the
hundreds of others, are in the library for you, the students of B.
S.T.C.
In order to be admitted to the
pre-Easter Hat Dance, the students found it necessary to be
modeling what the theme suggested, or a reasonable facsimile. Even the snack bar "crew" and the
chaperones obliged , deserving the
round of applause they received
as they entered the lounge with
their creations.
As the maj ority of the students
danced and enjoyed the odd, curious, and strange hats created by
one another, the Starlighters, with
Bloomsburg's Chick DeFebo, played on whether it be a polka, bunny hop, fast or slow number.
Several awards were presented
by Miss Zinn and Mrs. Beeman
after they, the judges, assisted by
Kaki Crew, Jack Bushey, and Dick
Connelly, made a difficult deicsion
as to who should be the recipients.

Edible" hat which was a temptation to any vegetarian. On her

HONOR ROLL OF HITS
( Continued frompage 1)
An English recording company. Angel, that can really beast of a very
complete selection of classical music, has recently released a number of
fine albums. Some of these are "The New World Symphony " by Anton
Dvorak, Beethoven's "Symphony #3", "Eroica ", and the opera "Norma"
by Vincenzo Bellini . These are all recorded by European symphony
orchestras.
I
One of* the favorite popular artists here at B.S.T.C. seems to be Nat
"Kin g" Cole. Usually noted for his fine work as a vocalist, he has turned
the tables and made a LP album called "The Piano Style of Nat 'King '
Cole". It is a Capitol disc, and the background music is provided by
Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. A really popular single, also by Nat
"King" Cole is "Too Young to Go Steady ".
Hey look! Mercury has just put out and album for the boys of the
Valley! It is Lawrence Welk and "Music, for Polka Lovers". How 'bom
it, Leo?
On the popular side, we hear that Betta Hoffner's favorite is "Thirty
Days Has September", while her roomie, Nancy Suwalski, classes "Fooba Wooba John" right up there with the best of them.
The Four Freshmen have followed up their recent album, "Voices in
Modern," with another big seller for Capitol. This one is "Four Freshmen and Five Trombones".
Other pop tunes on the local disc j ockey shows this week are "Rock
Island Line*' by Don Cornell, "Standing on the Corner, Watching All the
Girls Go By" by the Four Lads, "Ivory Tower" by Gale Storm, and
"Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Priesley.
The Song of the week is by Theresa Brewer—"A Tear Fell".

Completes Study
Of Freshmen
Dr . E. Paul Wagner, Professor
of Psychology, has recently completed a two-year study of Bloomsburg students entitled "The SocioEconomic Background of 1952
BSTC Freshmen Compared with
1949 BSTC Freshmen and Thirteen
Other Teachers Colleges' 1949
Freshmen".
The purposes of this study are
(1) to survey home environment
and parental background—those
factors beyond the control of student s, (2) to show the cultural,
educational , and social characteristics of B.S.T.C. students—factors
which are within the control of
students and which stem frosn
their environment , (3) to take the
data of socio-economic background
of 1952 freshmen and make possible comparisons with findings of
other studies. Also, to point out
the progress, changes, and trends
indicated.
The findings of the study are
exhaustive and detailed. Copies
will be placed in the near future
in the College library for anyone
interested, but for your immediate
information we will include some
of the more interesting facts about
the 1952 Bloomsburg freshman.
The male population had an
edge on the female (58% to 42%),
but all were between the ages of
seventeen and twenty-eight with
the median age 18.7 years. Most
of them were born in Pennsylvania, and all were natural citizens of the United States, with
German, Engli sh , Scotch, and Polish heading the list of parental
nationalities.
Thirteen per cent of their fathers graduated from college out of
the 21% that attended , and the
median income of parents in 1952
was $4380.
Most fresnmen came rrom communities having a population of
5,000 to 30,000. A study of the
types of high school curriculums
attended reveals the academic
curriculum far in the lead. High
school subj ects most liked were
social science and English, while
those least enj oyed were math and
natural science.
Types of work which the students engaged in previous to coming to college included a wide and
diversified number , but those relating to the teaching profession
included clerical, playground, and
Sunday School work.
One of the main reasons for
choosing teaching as a career was
the desire to work with children ,
while nearness to home and low
tuition rates helped to make
Bloomsburg the desired college.
Students obtained the money for
their educational purposes from
parents, personal savings, parttime jobs, the G.I. Bill, and, last
and least, scholarships.

ALPHA PSI OMEGA
The last regular meeting of Alpha Psi Omega was held March 13
in Carver Auditorium.
The program for the evening
consisted of the initiation of four
new members: Kay Kerl, Barbara
Brunner , Margaret Wilkinson and
Nancy Homsher. A social hour in
the social rooms of Science Hall
followed.
Alpha Psi Omega had cooperated
with the Dramatic Club in presenting their three act public play,
"Guest in the House" presented
April 10.
The VA has recently disclosed that the college campus is attracting
one out of every two Korean veterans training under the Korean GI
Bill. This 50-50 proportion marks a different trend from that established
by the World War II GI Bill, under which less than one-third of all
veteran-trainees attended college.
By t h e end of 1955, veterans who had taken Korean GI college training numbered two-thirds of a million, or 51 percent of the total of
1,300,000 veterans who have received all types of Korean GI Bill training. On the other hand, college-trained World War II veterans totaled
more than 2,000,000—a much lower proportionof the 7,800,000 who took
all types of World War II GI training.
The VA also disclosed that the average Korean veteran probably will
receive as much training as the average veteran of World War II, despite the fact that the Korean veterans cannot build up as much entitlement as their fellow-veterans of World War II were permitted by law to
accumulate.
Based on experience to date, the VA said Korean veterans are expected to use about two-thirds of their average available entitlement of 31
months—which would mean about 20 months. World War II veterans
average 40 months of GI entitlement, and used half of it—also 20
months.
The VA survey revealed a growing tendency for newly discharged
Korean veterans to begin GI training shortly after their return to civilian life, without wasting much time. In 1953, nearly 12 percent of the
new Korean veterans started their training during the year of their discharge. In 1954, the proportion rose to 15 percent, and in 1955 it exceeded 16 percent.
Those who enroll in colleges and universities and those taking j ob
training act the fastest, starting within six months after donning civilian
clothes. Those enrolling in schools below the college level wait an average of nine months before they begin. This is an important point when
we realize that the Korean GI Bill deadline for starting is three years
from the date of discharge.
Those now entering the speech
field are getting in on the groun d
floor and can be of great service
to society.
Mr. Brooks urged that graduate
work be taken when at all possible. A few of the fields in which
one can do work at the Penn State
Clinic are aphasia, cleft palate,
and stuttering. Mr , Brooks stated
that there are two types of degrees which one may acquire, a
Master of Education and a Master
of Science. The Master of Science
degree requires the writing of a
thesis on an original subj ect , or
one that has been written but is
open to question. The masters degree requires 30 credit hours,

Picasso, Mandrian, Bacon, Sanberg, and Talbot—Have you ever
wondered what possibly could have
been in the minds of these men as
they cheated their master-pieces?
To commemorate its twenty-fifth
anniversary, the Museum ot Modern Art has taken over three-hundred and fifty of its works of art
and reproduced them in the book,
Masters of Modern Art, edited by
Alfred H. Barr, Jr. The pictures
are primarily to give pleasure, but
each painting, drawing, or sculpture is accompanied by a commentary on the work which explains
what the work is about. This book
can be found in the Reference section of the library.
Many of the work of Anton
Chekhov, although he is generally
considered one of the world's
greatest story tellers, have remained untranslated. The Unk n o w n. Chekhov presents Mr.
Chekhov in a new light; as a journalist and writer of non-fiction.
The sketches contained in this
book show Chekhov's remarkable
descriptive powers, and are also
an important record of Old Russia. Contained also in this book
is the short story, "The Peasants",
considered as one of Chekhov's
greatest which is made available
for the first time in its entirety.
The President of the United
States by E. B. Fincher was written for young people of high school
age to be used in conj unction with
their civics and social studies
courses. As future teachers of these
young people we can also find much
here that we may have known and
forgotten. Mr. Fincher first explains who may be President, then
goes on to describe the selection
of a presidential candidate and
presidential elections.
He also includes chapters on
the Presidential office and a description of the official family.
All these books are new to our
library. These, along with the
hundreds of others, are in the library for you, the students of B.
S.T.C.
In order to be admitted to the
pre-Easter Hat Dance, the students found it necessary to be
modeling what the theme suggested, or a reasonable facsimile. Even the snack bar "crew" and the
chaperones obliged , deserving the
round of applause they received
as they entered the lounge with
their creations.
As the maj ority of the students
danced and enjoyed the odd, curious, and strange hats created by
one another, the Starlighters, with
Bloomsburg's Chick DeFebo, played on whether it be a polka, bunny hop, fast or slow number.
Several awards were presented
by Miss Zinn and Mrs. Beeman
after they, the judges, assisted by
Kaki Crew, Jack Bushey, and Dick
Connelly, made a difficult deicsion
as to who should be the recipients.
Harriet link wore the "Most

Completely baffled by their confusing complaint, he forked over the

HONOR ROLL OF HITS
( Continued frompage 1)
An English recording company. Angel, that can really beast of a very
complete selection of classical music, has recently released a number of
fine albums. Some of these are "The New World Symphony " by Anton
Dvorak, Beethoven's "Symphony #3", "Eroica ", and the opera "Norma"
by Vincenzo Bellini . These are all recorded by European symphony
orchestras.
I
One of* the favorite popular artists here at B.S.T.C. seems to be Nat
"Kin g" Cole. Usually noted for his fine work as a vocalist, he has turned
the tables and made a LP album called "The Piano Style of Nat 'King '
Cole". It is a Capitol disc, and the background music is provided by
Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. A really popular single, also by Nat
"King" Cole is "Too Young to Go Steady ".
Hey look! Mercury has just put out and album for the boys of the
Valley! It is Lawrence Welk and "Music, for Polka Lovers". How 'bom
it, Leo?
On the popular side, we hear that Betta Hoffner's favorite is "Thirty
Days Has September", while her roomie, Nancy Suwalski, classes "Fooba Wooba John" right up there with the best of them.
The Four Freshmen have followed up their recent album, "Voices in
Modern," with another big seller for Capitol. This one is "Four Freshmen and Five Trombones".
Other pop tunes on the local disc j ockey shows this week are "Rock
Island Line*' by Don Cornell, "Standing on the Corner, Watching All the
Girls Go By" by the Four Lads, "Ivory Tower" by Gale Storm, and
"Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Priesley.
The Song of the week is by Theresa Brewer—"A Tear Fell".
