1956 Scholarship Awards
Presented to Students
In Assembly Program

As Dr. Kimber C. Kuster presided over Assembly, Thursday, April 1J,
1956 scholarship awards were presented to a number of college students.
The first award was presented by Mrs. Cecil Seronsy, r epresenting the
American Associa tion of University Women, to Sandra McBride. Mrs.
Seronsy explained that a combination of three factors constituted the
basis for the award (1) scholarship, (2) completion of one-to-three
semesters of college work, and k6)
a desire to continue educational
work.
The second award, attributed to
student attendance in church, was
presented by the Reverend James

Sally Senior Impatient
To Begin College Career
Dear Diary, '*
I received an invitation to come
to "Visitation Day " sponsored by
the Future Teachers of America
at Bloomsburg State Teachers College on April 21. I waited anxiously for that day to arrive ; it finally
did. It was a beautiful spring day,
but there was a slight chill in the
air. I arrived at the "Friendly College on the Hill" at 9:15, and registered along with 205 others in
the newly renovated Waller Hall
lobby.
At 9:45 I was directed to Carver
Hall where Mr. Tom Higgins, President of the Bloomsburg Chapter
of F.T.A., opened the program. He
introduced the President of the
College Government Association,
Mr. Bob Evans, who gave us the
highlights of C.G.A. Bob, in turn ,
introduced the president of the
college, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss.
Dr. Andruss welcomed us to
Bloomsburg and related to us the
importance in the decision of becoming a teacher.
Following Dr. Andruss' welcoming address, a film taken of actual
scenes on campus was shown. It
was narrated by Mr. John A. Hoch,
Dean, of Instruction. Mr. Howard
Fenstemaker added his very effective touch of background music
to the film.
At 10:30 there was a panel dis. cussion. This was quite different
from the usual dry panel discussion ; this had action ! Mr. Buckingham introduced Mary Grace,
chairman of the panel, who, in
t urn , introduced the members:
Marcia Storm, Phil Waldron, Ann
Beeson. and Allen Nuss. Marcia
and Phil spoke about clothing
worn about campus and they had
six very capable models: Mary
Jane Barnisky, Joan Rider, Sandy
Lewis, Jim Long, Tom Garr et , and
Bob Gower. Ann and Allen told us
about the numerous clubs and activities on campus.
xnen someuung unusual came
on stage. It was only Bud Sheridan. You see, I was wondering why
he had those crazy signs in lipstick on his forehead, but Bud
then explained why ; he's pledging
for an honorary fraternity on campus, Phi Sigma Pi. Norm Balchunas, Jim Vowler, and Ray Hargreaves displayed their instrumental talent by jazzing up "Five Foot
Two". Deanna Morgan then sang
a medley of tunes from the popular "Carousel". A sextet composed
of Carol Nearing, Rusty Miller,
Dotty Horning, Allen Nuss, John
Seaman, and Bob Biever sang
"Dream". Another soloist was
Alycia Racht, who sang "Temptation". I always wondered if college
men actually do study. They have
very good intentions, but it was
shown to us in a skit that ended
with a polka party. This was portrayed by the men ( ?) of North
Hall. To close the variety show,
the sextet sang "Why Do Fools
Fall in Love" (Why do they?).
I then had an opportunity to
talk to other incoming freshmen
and upper-classmen while on tour
of the campus and dorms. Of
course 'being a female, I was only
allowed to tour the girls' dorm.
After that long walk around campus, I was quite hungry, but It was

Bloomsburg Players
Name "Pi cnic " Cast

At a recent meeting of the
Bloomsburg Players, held in Carver Auditorium, the cast was
selected for the work-house presentation of the third act of "Picnic," the popular play which was
recently produced in a movie version. The play will be presented
May 8th for the enjoyment and
criticism o£ the Dramatic Club
members.
Aiycia Racht ( Madge), and Joe
Andrysick ( Hal Carter) , have the
leading roles, while Deanna Morgan (Rosemary) , Tony Aiello
( Howard) , Audrey Bamback (Millie), John Dennion ( Bomber), Elaine Yawers (Mother), Ron Schurer (Alan), Peg Wilkinson (nextdoor neighbor) , Fran Myers and
Connie Schreader (school teachers) complete the cast .

On May 9, Miss Joan Christie, a
Senior business student from Shenandoah, will be in the spotlight
when she reigns as Queen of the
colorful May Day Festival to be
held on the beautiful college terrace adj acent to the Hu£ky
Lounge. The Queen of Queens,
Joan was recently chosen by election of the student body from a
list of sixteen lovely senior co-eds,
eight of whom will add to the
regal splendor of the occasion by
serving as the Queen's Court.
These Royal attendants are
Barbara Bennett, an Elementary
student from Plainsville; Wylla
Mae Bowman, Elementary, from
Berwiak; Joanne Hester, Business,
from Watsontown; Doris Kryzwicki, Elementary from Plymouth; Patricia O'Brien, Business,
from Bloomsburg; Judy Stevens,
Business from Ardmore; Tina Valen te, Elementary from Hazleton ;
and Jean Zimmerman, Elementary
from Berwick.
Although May Day seems to
most of us a new social event on
our campus, it is reminiscent of
the first May Day Festivals at
Bloomsburg Normal School when
the queen and her comely attendants were members of the sixth
grade at the Benjamin Franklin
Training School, and when the
themes of the spectacles were
Snow White and other fairy tales.
Lacking in stature, but not in
dignity, the little queen was
crowned in the grove with the
white pagoda as her throne. The
fete at first was presented for the
enj oyment of the children and
their parents, but increased interest on the part of the college students and townspeople forced the
dancers and May pole winders to
more spacious grounds.
We think May Day, with its
regal beauty and carnival like
atmosphere will be here to stay
this time.

HONOR ROLL of HITS . . . . by annette In Fellowshi p
Since first things come firs t, a word must be said about one of the
finest purchases that College Council has ever made. If any of you have
been in the C.G.A. office lately, you know what we mean. We're referring,
of course, to a really beautiful 3-speed RCA Victor hi-fi record player.
It is done in light wood and has a very lovely appearance. But according
to informed sources, that isn't all. It sounds great, too.
This record player is to be used for Sunday afternoon listening, various
record concerts, and other special occasions. We're sure there'll be many
hours of pleasant listening from this, one of the greatest attempts to
stir music interests, both popular and classical, here on campus.
«
A word of praise to C.G.A.
Good words and high praise to the College Choraleers, also, for a fine
assembly program recently presented under the direction of Mr. Miller.
The program included "Madame Jeanette", "With God's Hand in Mine,"
"Onward Ye Peoples," "Let There Be Song, " "Lacrymosa ", a number of
spirituals, and two selections "From the Textbooks."
Turning now to music m a jugular vein, we see where Andy Griffith
has recently done a j ob on a few parodies recently. A number of local
disc-j ockeys have been playing portions of these take-offs which slightly
resemble something Stan Freeburg would come up with. Two of the most
unusual are "Carmen" and "Romeo and Juliet. "
For something a little different, Columbia has recorded a 12-inch LP
called "Music Until Midnight. " It is by Mitch Miller and his orchestra.
The unusual feature of this album is the predominance of two instruments seldom heard in our modern dance bands. They are the English
horn and the oboe.
As for Dixieland, Capitol has released one called "Sorta Dixie" by
Billy May. This album leaves tradition
and takes on an unorthodox
notion of Dixieland, using the motto, r'Let the two-beats fall where they
MAY".
a group or aioums ror tne j azz lover is a trio or Ufs recently recorded
for EmArcy label , a product of Mercury records. They are all by Lionel
Hampton, who is famous for his unusual styling on the vibraphone. The
albums are entitled "Hamp in Paris," "Crazy Rhythm ", and "Jam Session in Paris."
Another trio to watch are three classical recordings, also Mercury
releases. The firs t is by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Anatol Doratl. It is a record boasting of double enjoyment.
The first side is "Porgy and Bess" by Gershwin with its flip being
"Spirituals " by Morton Gould.
The other two are recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra , conducted by Paul Paray. One is the famous work of Richard Wagner,
"Lohengrin". The other is a combination of three popular works—
Ravel's "La Valse," "Pavane" by Faure, and "Psyche" by Franck.
Moving on to popular music, we find that our boy Eddie (Fisher, of
course) has a new hit on 45 entitled "No Other One".
Lately it seems that any gimmick, food, song, or artist recommended
by Steve Allen on his TV show, "Tonight", ju st naturally becomes famous over-night. Recently, his good word has been for his singing star
Andy Williams and his newest recording, "Walk Hand in Hand With
Me. Let's see If Old Steve's prediction follows through.
Other local hits of the past few weeks are "My Little Angel" by the
Four Lads, "Wild Cherry1' by Don Cherry, and "You're Mine" by the
Dreamweavers.
The song of the week is "Lovely One" by the Four Voices. So remember—Don't Step on Joe Johnson's Blue Suede Shoes.

NEWMAN CLUB

Matthew Miller, a stud ent f rom
Penn State University, was guest
speaker at the last meeting of the
Newman Club held March 13th at
St . Columba's social rooms.
Matt , as Student Chairman of
the Middle Atlantic Province of
the National Federation of Newman Clubs, spoke on the history of
the Federation from its beginning
up to present times, and ex pl ained
the annual Middle Atlantic Province convention to be held at Penn
State University this year on April 13th, 14th, and 15th.
Several Newman Club members
are planning to attend .t he convention, the theme of which will be
"Truth, the Guardian of Faith."
SPAGHETTI SUPPER

Last Thursday evening, a number of B.S.T.C. students enjoy ed a
real Italian spaghetti supper in
the social rooms of St. Columba's
Church .
The menu for the evening consisted of spaghetti and meatballs,
Italian bread, tea , coffee, and ice
cream , and was prepared and
served by the members of Newman Club.

There comes a time in the life
of every columnist when she is
stuck, to put it bluntly. That is
the situation I am in tonight , (It
is fast approaching the hour of
midnight and this epistle is due
tommorrow morning. ) The cause
of all my woe is simply that there
is no news at all. Why ?—because
all the allowances are scraping
bottom and also because the blankety-blank weather keeps playing
"ding-a-ling switch" all the time.
Result—no new clothes to gab
about. So I am afraid any readers
who might accidently read this
column will have to take pot luck !
While waiting (!) in the lobby to
go to church this morning, I noticed some very attractive outfits.
Hats especially caught my eye. Renee Teraopolos was wearing one
of the prettiest hats I have ever
seen. It was a pink straw-picture
style, trimmed with pink chiffon.
A very pretty hat to contrast with
Rene e's dark , dark hair.

the fact that the sermon was exceptionally interesting, I paid close
attention. I must admit though,
that the h a t in front of me w as
very distracting. It was a clever
white picque creation with red
velvet trim. Under it was Dotty
Stoudt.
Pat Gernerd 's hat was much in
keeping with the bright sunshine
and "springy " feeling. It was a red
picture hat which completed a very
nice navy and red ensemble.

Second Graders
Follow Construction

For the last in the series of social programs for women students,
Mr. Henrie and the girls from the
Fashion Show presented a very informal program entiteld " A s
Others See You."
Mr. Henrie informed the girls
that "a new and becoming hair-do
combined with the proper make-up
are only a few of the many things
a girl can do to make herself interesting and appealing."
Doris Kryzwicki, discussing the
ever popular problem of good posture, offered many helpful hints
for establishing this rewarding habit. Even though clothes may be
inexpensive, good taste, good posture, and care create a fine appearance. Two freshmen models,
Sandy Lewis and Peg Markovci
demonstrated the "sway-bacy " and
the "C-body alignment. "
The next topic was that of dieting, which Barb Bennett discussed.
Barb emphasized the fact that
there are many individual differences to be considered When dieting.
Nex t, Judy Ulmer talked briefly on the proper hair styles for the
various facial types . Assisting her
were Sandy Lewis, Mary Grace ,
and Suzie Young. Judy 's final advice was not to try the lastest rage
merely because it is in style.
Judy Stephens presented the
various exercises intended to increase or decrease the figure . Demonstrating as Judy explained were
Mar cia Stor m, Sandy Lewis, Mary
Jane Barinsky, Suzie Young and
Peg Markovci.
Joan cnristie then presented me
topic, "Appropriate Clothing." She
offered various hints, the two main
words being cleanliness and neatness, Mary Heatley, Bobbi Roadside, Marcia Storm, Joan Rieder,
and Marta Dimon modeled the improper dress for class and social
functions. Bette Gibson and Carol
Ely then appeared in the proper
college wardrobe.

¦

"Let' s go for a walk", said Mrs.

Beckley. "We will see how the
new dining room is growing ".
When the children.returned they
talked about things that interested
them about the new building on
the campus.
"Your crayons are not getting a
chance to tell about the new building", said Mrs. Beckley. "When
you draw you can tell about the
big machines and the man in the
pink shirt".
The room was quiet as the pictures came to life on the papers.
David and Carter, being mechanically minded, drew a power shovel.
Construction interests girls as well
as boys. Ann drew men working
and the one with the pink shirt.
Sandra liked the men digging and
Jan Marie was interested in the
men laying bricks.
The teachin g of art in school has
as its prime obj ect the encouragement of confidence in self-expression, the encouragement of children
to be themselves, unique creatures
with an unmatched way of looking at the world.

During the past week Phi Sigma
Pi initiation activities were in full
swing once again. The pledgees
could be spotted almost everywhere with their fancy ties and
lipstick symbols printed on the
forehead ; and they did everything
from serenading the girls to cheerleading at the baseball games.
Those initiated were: Stan Okuniewski, William Kautz, James
Long, James Nicholas, Gus Spentzas, Joe Dekutosky, Norman Balchunas, and Bud Sheridan.
With the completion of the formal initiations on Tuesday, Apr il 24,
these pledgees became "honorable"
brothers of the Professional Education Fraternity. Elections were
also held at this meeting and the
final plans were made for the fraternity 's annual banquet.

He is one of the top men in his
fi eld , and he plans to leave soon
for England whore he will spend
a year in special studies at Cambridge.
The members enjoye d meeting
Mr. Duly and hearing his informal
discussion.
The next moeing will be held
April 30. All members and others

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT |H
by BILL BITNER

A LOOK AT THE SAYLOR SYSTEM . . . As we have mentioned
from time to time the fortunes of the Husky athletic teams depend for
the most part on the working intricacies of the often misunderstood
Saylor System, This system is a mathematical device designed to give u
teams standings in a conference which for one reason or another finds
it impossible to schedule every team. The system was a doctoral study
of t>r. John Saylor, a professor at Pennsylvania State University.
The fourteen state teachers colleges banned together in 1950 to form
a conference which could serve to regulate, supervise, and control athletic contests between tutor institutions . They also threw in some high
sounding phrases concerning the desire to maintain athletic activities
on an ethical plane which woud be in keeping with the dignity and high
purposes of education and teacher colleges. Whether or not they have
f ulfilled their purposes is not the point of this article, the point being
they formed a conference and set down rules to govern their membership.
In order to be considered eligible for a conference championship each
member college must play four conference football opponents, a basketball schedule will have eight conference games, baseball at least four
j games, wrestling at an annual tournament, track at an annual tournament, and three conference matches each for soccer, t ennis, golf and
swimming. It further states that a conference will operate in any sport
in which four or more members of the conference have teams.
To determine the conference champion, member schools shall be rated
on the basis of the minimum number of conference games required for
championship honors, or any number of games greater than the minimum. However, the system does require all lost and tied games shall be
counted and as many wins as will give the school its highest rating.
Schools shall be divided into three groups as follows :
a. Group 1 shall contain all schools who have won more than two/thirds of their games.
b. Group 2 shall contain all schools who have won two/thirds or less
of their game and one/third or more of their games.
c. Group 3 shall contain those schools who have won less than one/third of their games.
d. To determine a place in these groupings, tie games shall count as
half game won and half game lost.
POINTS shall be awarded as follows :
a. for defeating a team in group 1, a school shall be awarded 300
points.
b. for tieing a team in group 1, a school shall be awarded 200 points.
c. for losing to a school in group 1, a school shall be awarded 100
points.
d. for defeating a team in group 2, team shall receive 250 points.
e. for tieing a team in group 2, a team shall receive 150 points.
f. for losing to a team in group 2, a school shall receiye 50 points.
g. for defeating a team in group 3, a school shall receive 200 points,
h. for tieing a school in group 3, a school shall receive 100 points.
i. for losing to a school in group 3, a school shall receive 0 points.
A school's rating shall be determined by adding the points it has earned
from games played with schools in the conference and dividing by the
number of games upon which the school is being rated.
This seems to some to be a very complicated approach to the problem
but with the geographical area of the conference being such a factor
this seems to be the only feasible answer.

Huskies Win Over
Mansfield 5-1

The Huskies opened the defense
of their half of the State Teachers
College Championship with a 5 to
1 victory over the visiting Mansfield STC. In their initial outing
the team worked smooth and it
looks as if Coach "Doc" Wagner
has filled the vacancies that plagued the squad at the beginning of
training.
The two starters from last year 's
nine who opened this season were
Ed Shustack and Chuck Casper
playing in center and left field
respectively. Jim Snyder, "Tiger"
Denoy, John Oustrich, and Bob
Boyle filled positions at firs t, second, and third bases, and in right
field . Joe Malcyck caught and Jimmy Joy pitched and represented the
Junior class along with Casper and
Shustack. Rounding out the lineup was Joe Pendal, a freshman,
playing shortstop.
The Mountaineers opened the
scoring in the fourth inning on a
single by Joe Zimmerman, a stolen
base, and two over throws, one by
pitcher Jimmy Joy and Center
fielder Shustack. The only other
time the visitors threatened was
in the eighth when a man reached
third via a walk, a stolen base, and
another error . Here relief hurler
Charles Kwiatowski settled down
and struck the next batter out and
made the last man fly out.

when Casper led off with a single,

The remaining runs came in the
seventh when the Huskies got to
starter Bill Williams and reliefer
Jim Walters for four runs. The
tallies came on hits by Goobic,
Boyle, and Shustack, a sacrifice by
Kwiatkowski, a hit batsman, Casper, and an error . This was all
Bloom needed to finish the game
victoriously.
In the hit department the Huskies collected eight, all singles, as
Mansfield could only manage three
singles off starter Joy. Jimmy
struck out five In five Innings and
Ski sent five down swinging in

We Are Living
In An Atomic Age

We are living in an Atomic Age.
Teachers of all levels of education
—Kindergarten, Elementary, Secondary, and college—should be
aware of the potentials of the lowly atom, both as a blessing and as
a curse to mankind. It is only
through knowledge and insight of
these diametrically opposite potentials that society can direct the
future efforts of civilization toward the use of atomic energy,
that it might be a blessing rather
than a curse.
To develop insight as to the
nature of the atomic structures
and appreciation of atomic energy
as a potential for good in our
civilization, students of Mr. Stradtman's Physical Science course prepared atomic models. Individuality
and ingenuity were encouraged in
this modeling, and the latest scientific information pertaining to
knowledge of atomic structures
was applied . Each student modeled three different atoms; one of
a metallic element, one of a nonmetallic element, and one of an innert gas.
The models proved to be colorful
and attractive as well as educational. A selection of them has
been placed in the library for inspection by the public as wells as
' '
by students.

VETERAN'S PIPELINE . b y

richard mease

"Pointers for the Veteran Homeowner," a 22-page guide for veterans
who have purchased homes with the aid of GI loans, is now available at
all Veterans Administration offices. The VA said the pamphlet is designed to help World War II and Korean veterans avoid some of the
pitf alls of home ownership.
"To the Home-Buying Veteran," a 32-page guide for veterans planning
to buy or build homes with GI loans is also available at all VA offices.
This pamphlet is designed to help the veteran who is planning to buy or
build a home in contrast to the other which is specifically aimed at the
veteran homeowner.
The pamphlets can also be obtained from the TIMES at no charge
by writing to:
At Your Service Department
Army Times Publishing Co.,
2020 M St., N.W.,
Washington 6, D. C.
The homeowner pamphlet discusses the obligation of veterans under
terms of the GI mortgages, how to protect their investment, and the
importance of regular payments. It also covers advice to veterans who
have trouble making their payments and warns them against sharp real
estate practices.
The responsibilities of the ex-GI who sells or rents his home before
the GI loan is repaid also are outlined. In addition, the pamphlet advises
veterans what to do if they are recalled to active military service while
owning a GI home.
The home-buying pamphlet discusses what a veteran should look for
in selecting the neighborhood, lot and house itself. It also covers the
cost of home ownership, the contract of purchase, final settlement or
closing the loan, and what to expect bef ore and after moving into a
new home.
The responsibilities of the GI homeowner and what VA can and cannot do to assist the veteran are also detailed. A copy of this pamphlet is
sent by VA to each veteran applying for a certificate of eligibility for a
GI loan. Copies of the home-owner pamphlet will be sent to each veteran
who closes a GI home loan in the future and to each ex-GI who has obtained a VA direct loan. Either pamphlet can be obtained by writing to
the nearest VA regional office.

In view of the forthcoming Senior Ball, let's talk formal wear.
We realize that most of the tuxedos will be rented, but, golly whiz,
we have run out of things to write
about. So if you ever have occasion
to buy formal wear, here goes.
Today 's tuxedo is cut very much
like your newest suit, except for
the collar and lapels. Here you
have a choice among the slim,
traditional shawl collar done up in
satin or the newer, floor-level
peaked lapel , or an even newer
style has a high notched lapel with
rounded points.
Dinner suits should be singlebreasted in midnight blue or black
with the natural shoulder , center
back vent, flap pockets and plain
fron t , pipe stem trousers with
braid at the side seams.
The latest fabrics for formal
wear feature orlon blends, dacron
blends, mohair blends, silk blends,
rayon blends, pure worsted, impure worsteds, doggone, downright
smutty worsteds—an unlimited
variety abounds. If you ever buy,
choose a fabric that offers lots of
bounce so you can avoid thp.t
"rung-out dish 'rag look" at midnight.
Formal accessories—Soft , pleated-front dress shirt with collar attached in a fine Pinna broadcloth,
or man-made fibers with French
cuffs; bow ties should be black or
midnight blue to match the suit
shade; suggested hat of black
suede felt with a snap brim; shoes
must be patent leather oxfords or
highly polished calfskins worn
with black silk or nylon hose;
outercoats should be a dark, solid
shade accompanied by gray snapon gloves and a white silk scarf ;
cummerbunds in a variety of plaids
and patterns are very smart right
now.

HONOR ROLL of HITS . . . . by annette In Fellowship
NEWMAN CLUB

Since first things come first , a word must be said about one of the
finest purchases that College Council has ever made. If any of you have
been in the C.G.A. office lately, you know what we mean. We're referring,
of course, to a really beautiful 3-speed RCA Victor hi-fi record player.
It is done in light wood and has a very lovely appearance. But according
to informed sources, that isn't all. It sounds great, too.
This record player is to be used for Sunday afternoon listening, various
record concerts, and other special occasions. We're sure there'll be many
hours of pleasant listening from this, one of the greatest attempts to
stir music interests, both popular and classical, here on campus.
•
A word of praise to C.G.A.
Good words and high praise to the College Choraleers, also, for a fine
assembly program recently presented under the direction of Mr. Miller.
The program included "Madame Jeanette", "With God's Hand in Mine,"
"Onward Ye Peoples," "Let There Be Song," "Lacrymosa ", a number of
spirituals, and two selections "From the Textbooks."
Turning now to music in a j ugular vein, we see where Andy Griffith
has recently done a job on a few parodies recently. A number of local
disc-jo ckeys have been playing portions of these take-offs which slightly
resemble something Stan Freeburg would come up with. Two of the most
unusual are "Carmen" and "Romeo and Juliet."
For something a little different, Columbia has recorded a 12-inch LP
called "Music Until Midnight." It is by Mitch Miller and his orchestra.
The unusual feature of this album is the predominance of two instruments seldom heard in our modern dance bands. They are the English
horn and the oboe.
As for Dixieland, Capitol has released one called "Sorta Dixie" by
Billy May. This album leaves tradition and takes on an unorthodox
notion of Dixieland, using the motto, r'Let the two-beats fall where they
MAY".
A group of albums for the jazz lover is a trio of LP's recently recorded
for EmArcy label, a product of Mercury records. They are all by Lionel
Hampton, who is famous for his unusual styling on the vibraphone. The
albums are entitled "Hamp in Paris ," "Crazy Rhythm", and "Jam Session in Paris."
Another trio to watch are three classical recordings, also Mercury
releases. The firs t is by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Anatol Dorati. It is a record boasting of double enjoyment.
The first side is "Porgy and Bess" by Gershwin with its flip being
"Spirituals " by Morton Gould.
The other two are recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Paul Paray. One is the famous work of Richard Wagner ,
"Lohengrin". The other is a combination of three popular works—
Ravel's "La Valse," "Pavane" by Faure, and "Psyche " by Franck.
Moving on to popular music, we find that our boy Eddie (Fisher, of
course) has a new hit on 45 entitled "No Other One ".
Lately it seems that any gimmick, food , song, or artist recommended
by Steve Allen on his TV show, "Tonight 1', just naturally becomes famous over-night. Recently , his good word has been for his singing star
Andy Williams and his newest recording, "Walk Hand in Hand With
Me. Let's see If Old Steve's prediction follows through .
Other local hits of the past few weeks are "My Little Angel" toy the
Four Lads, "Wild Cherry7' by Don Cherry, and "You're Mine" by the
Dreamweavers.
The song of the week is "Lovely One" by the Four Voices. So remember—Don't Step on Joe Johnson's Blue Suede Shoes.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT H9
by BILL BITNER

HbH

WmBBKBHm

A LOOK AT THE SAYLOR SYSTE M . . . As we have mentioned
from time to time the fortunes of the Husky athletic teams depend for
the most part on the working intricacies of the often misunderstood
Say lor System . This system is a mathematical device designed to give
teams standings in a conference which for one reason or another finds
it impossible to schedule every team. The system was a doctoral study
of !Dr. John Saylor, a professor at Pennsylvania State University.
The fourteen state teachers colleges banned together in 1950 to form
a conference which could serve to regulate, supervise, and control athletic contests between tutor institutions. They also threw in some high
sounding phrases concerning the desire to maintain athletic activities
on an ethical plane which woud be in keeping with the dignity and high
purposes ;of education and teacher colleges. Whether or not they have
fulfilled their purposes is not the point of this article, the point being
they formed a conference and set down rules to govern their membership.
In order to be considered eligible for a conference championship each
member college must play four conference football opponents, a basketball schedule will have eight conference games, baseball at least four
games, wrestling at an annual tournament, track at an annual tournament , and three conference matches each for soccer, tennis, golf and
swimming. It further states that a conference will operate in any sport
in which four or more members of the conference have teams.
To determine the conference champion, member schools shall be rated
on the basis of the minimum number of conference games required for
championship honors , or any number of games greater than the minimum. However , the system does require all lost and tied games shall be
counted and as many wins as will give the school its highest rating.
Schools shall be divided into three groups as follows:
a. Group 1 shall contain all schools who have won more than two/thirds of their games.
b. Group 2 shall contain all schools who have won two/thirds or less
of their game and one/third or more of their games.
c. Group 3 shall contain those schools who have won less than one/third of their games.
d. To determine a place in these groupings, tie games shall count as
half game won and half game lost.
POINTS shall be awarded as follows :
a. for def eating a team in group 1, a school shall be awarded 300
points.
b. for tieing a team in group 1, a school shall be awarded 200 points.
c. for losing to a school in group 1, a school shall be awarded 100
points.
d. for defeating a team in group 2, team shall receive 250 points.
e. for tieing a team in group 2, a team shall receive 150 points.
f. for losing to a team in group 2, a school shall receive 50 points.
g. for defeating a team in group 3, a school shall receive 200 points,
h. for tieing a school in group 3, a school shall receive 100 points.
i. for losing to a school in group 3, a school shall receive 0 points.
A school's rating shall be determined by adding the points it has earned
from games played with schools in the conference and dividing by the
number of games upon which the school is being rated.
This seems to some to be a very complicated approach to the problem
but with the geographical area of the conference being such a factor
this seems to be the only feasible answer.

Huskies Win Over
Mansfiel d 5-1

The Huskies opened the defense
of their half of the State Teachers
College Championship with a 5 to
1 victory over the visiting Mansfield STC. In their initial outin g
the team worked smooth and it
looks as if Coach "Doc" Wagner
has filled the vacancies that plagued the squad at the beginning of
training.
The two starters from last year's
nine who opened this season were
Ed Shustack and Chuck Casper
playing in center and left field
respectively. Jim Snyder, "Tiger "
Denoy, John Oustrich, and Bob
Boyle filled positions at first , second, and third bases, and in right
field. Joe Malcyck caught and Jimmy Joy pitched and represented the
Junior class along with Casper and
Shustack. Rounding out the lineup was Joe Pendal, a freshman,
playing shortstop.
The Mountaineers opened the
scoring in the fourth inning on a
single by Joe Zimmerman, a stolen
base, and two over throws, one by
pitcher Jimmy Joy and Center
fielder Shustack. The only other
time the visitors threatened was
in the eighth when a man reached
third via a walk, a stolen base, and
another error . Here relief hurler
Charles Kwiatowski settled down
and struck the next batter out and
made the last man fly out.
Bloom tied the score in the sixth
when Casper led off with a single,
was sacrificed to second by John
Oustrich, moved to third on a passed ball, and then stole home.
The remaining runs came in the
seventh when the Huskies got to
starter Bill Williams and reliefer
Jim Walters for four runs. The
tallies came on hits by Goobic,
Boyle, and Shustack , a sacrifice by
Kwiatkowski, a hit batsman, Casper, and an error. This was all
Bloom needed to finish the game
victoriously.
In the hit department the Huskies collected eight, all singles, as
Mansfield could only manage three
singles off starter Joy. Jimmy
struck out five in five innings and
Ski sent five down swinging in
four innings pitched . Four Huskies
were taken victims by the Mountaineer hurlers.
The Bloom fielding was sound
except in the fourth when Mansfield capitalized on a pair of
Huskie miscues but the boys did
come up with a set of double plays
to aid the cause,

Future Freshmen See
Lock Haven Defeated

John Huda, ace southpaw from
Factoryville, turned in a blazing
performance as the Bloomsburg
Huskies registered their second
triumph of the season over Lock
Haven by the score of 8-to-0.
A large crowd, including many
prospective students enj oying Visitation Day, witnessed the contest
in which Huda gave a brilliant performance, allowing only three hits
while striking out 14 and walking
9.
Joe Pendal, the "Beaver Meadows Flash", was the big man
with the wood, belting a long home
run to right field and also blasting
a timely double in the big fourth
inning when the Huskies scored
six times. Jonah "Rifle Arm" Goobic and Ed Shustack contributed
two hits each in the victory, while
John Oustrich turned in a commendable defensive game at third
base.

BSTC Headquarters

SMOKER RING S
by PEGGY LYNCH

Here I am again sitting in the
smoker at 1 a.m. trying to think
up something about the Girl's
Dorm that might make interesting
reading. Of course, it's slightly
hard to concentrate because there
are about 20 girls in here reliving
tonight's Junior Prom, and Sally
Stallone has her record player going full blast to the tune of "The
Man With the Golden Arm." She
and Sandy McBrlde do an interpretive dance to the Golden Arm
that is really a sigh t to see. I'm
still waiting for the Assembly
Committee to ask them to do it in
assembly.
j.nu norm nas ueen a maunouse
tonight, as it usually is the night
of a big dance and from the appearance of things at the moment,
it won't quiet down for a few more
hours. Things start to liven up
right after supper, when the last
minute pressing of gowns begins.
Then there's the borrowing of
such indispensible items as earrings, bracelets, crinolines, stockings, perfume, and j ust about
everything imaginable. The showers are goinj; full blast all evening
and the telephone rings incessantly. Things were pretty lively here
in the smoker too, everyone has
to discuss v here they are going
after the dance and there are
always one or two girli worrying;
about whether or not ihe 'r dales
from home will make It on l ime.
Finally about 8:15 girls begin to
step out of their doors beautifull y
arrayed in thoi gowns, It's hard to
beHeve that these are ihe "nro
girls who were just wandering
around the halls with their hair
in pin curls.
After the dance, most of the
girls congregate in the smoker
again and relate the evening 's
activities. There are usually n
couple of impromptu dances and
songs, and then the crowd begins
to thin until only a few girls are
left and silence begins to settle
over t h e dorm.

Starr Sparkles
In Final Season

Jim Starr, a standout Husky
mound peformer for the past four
years, will leave the Friendly College via graduation this spring.
Jim calls Williamsport, Pennsylvania, home. While a student at
Williamsport High School. Jim began his athletic career. He played

of the basketball squad.
After coming to Bloomsburg,
Jim made baseball his maj or sport.
He has won three letters for four
years of varsity competition in the
diamond sport. He also played
football and basketball at BSTC,
winnin g a minor award in foo t ball
and a varsity letter in basketball.
Jim claims his biggest thrill in
sports is the enj oyment he gets
out of participating in them. He
cannot single out one event as the
most thrilling, but says that every
moment is a thrill.

Day Men Begin
Participation in
Baseball Pro gram

This organization can be proud
of the honor that goes with being
able to present not one, but two
scholarships to deserving students
during the past college year.
In the assembly held April 12,
1956, Donald Beck, President of
the Day Men's Association presented the second scholarship of the
year to Carl Shively, the person
chosen by the Scholarship Committee as the student meeting all
the requirements and being the
most deserving. When Dr. Kuster
commented in the assembly that
it was "through the efforts of Mr.
Beck" that two scholarships were
being donated by the day men, the
latter wittingly remarked that all
of the day men, not he alone,
should be given credit for their
fine generosity.

We Are Living
In An Atomic Age

We are living in an Atomic Age.
Teachers of all levels of education
—Kindergarten, Elementary, Secondary, and college—should be
aware of the potentials of the lowly atom, both as a blessing and as
a curse to mankind. It is only
through knowledge and insight of
these diametrically opposite potentials that society can direct the
future efforts of civilization toward the use of atomic energy,
that it might be a blessing rather
than a curse.
To develop insight as to the
nature of the atomic structures
and appreciation of atomic energy
as a potential for good in our
civilization, students of Mr. Stradtman's Physical Science course prepared atomic models. Individuality
and ingenuity were encouraged in
this modeling, and the latest scientific information pertaining to .
knowledge of atomic structures
was applied . Each student modeled three different atoms; one of
a metallic element, one of a nonmetallic element, and one of an innert gas.
The models proved to be colorful
and attractive as well as educational. A selection of them has
been placed in the library for inspection by the public as well * as

by students.

Q. I am a student at BSTC. I
am presi dent of my dass, captain
of the football team, editor of the
school paper , and preside nt of the
biggest fraternit y on campus , Eta
Feeza Pi. My picture was in the
last issue of "Muscle Builder " because of my wonder iul physique. I
own. a 1957 MG. Althou gh I don't
go stead y, I' ve dated tuie Snow
Queen , the Coed of the Year, the
Varsit y Queen , and the May Day
Queen quite regularl y. Last month
I was voted the student most liKely to succeed . Where hav e I gone
astra y?
A. Do not be alarmed. There is
still hope. You must begin anew ,
however. Ignore your friends. They
are only trying to harm you. Stay
at home with your feeble mother
and lame dog; they need you most.
Above all, give up girls ; and taKe
up somethin g worthwhile—like
scrabble . Shape up. The wages of
sin are death !
Q. I don't know what to do. I
am a senior coed at BSTC, and I
have been on probation for four
years . My cumulative average has
never gone above .002. Frankly,
I'm worried about my grades. The
teachers always give me a hard
time in class period . I think they
are slightly irritated when I play
my ukulele durin g their lectures.
Do you think they are prejudiced ?

A. Do not be afraid. You are on
the road to success. Your marks
are strong evidence of this. Who
else in your class has an average
such as yours? The fact that you
are on probation reveals that you
belong to an exclusive group; you
are not parf of the common mass.
The belligerent attitude of your
professors is simply a case of reverse psychology. In reality they
hold you in high esteem as a student. Their irritation toward your
ukulele music is really their way
of expressing their hunger for
musical talent such as yours.
When they give you an "E", what
they truly mean to say is, "We
like you."

myself a Junior at BSTC My cumulative average is S.6 (I have never missed on assembly), I am enrolled In the Science-Math-Business curriculum. My minor credits

Ray Edwards; Invitation, Walt

Kramner; Registration, Marilyn
Friedman; . Variety Show, Helene
Stec and also the guides who showed us the campus.

Q. Three years ago I stopped
workin g in the coal mines to become a freshman coed at BSTC.
You see, my family is very, very
poor . During the day my mother
drives a beer truck and at night
sne scrubs all the floors in The
Empire State Building. But she
doesn 't complain . My lather , however , refuses to work. He spends
the day throwing away moclier 's
har d-earned money on cigarettes ,
rye whisky, and wild, wild women.
He beats my mother regularly,
and , if he is not too tired , he beats
me, too . It is difficult for me to
study under thes e conditions , ie..
me. Dr. Negative, what can I do?
A. You wicked girl . You are a
very selfish individual . You have
reserved all your love and devotion
for your mother who is so busy
earning a buck , so to speak , that
she completely ignores her family
responsibilities. No wonder your
dear Daddy beats her. She deserves it . I suggest that you tell your
mother to mend her ways. She is
the one who is causi ng dissension
and sorrow in your home .
Q. For the past fifty-five years 1
have been teach ing at BSTC. I
am also Assistant Dean of Night
Men. I am not happy. The students
in my classes are ta lking behind
my back. They think I am unfair
in my tests. I do not thin k my
tests are difficult or too long. During the week, I giv» occasional
(three) quick-quizes which consist
of not over ten essay questions requiring a minimum of six pa ges
each to be correctl y answered. My
mid-mid-semester exams (every
four and one half weeks) contain
eight hundred true-false-b oth-neither questions , worth 4,000 points
combined with thirt y-four essay
questions worth 18,000 points. A
passing grade for the complete test
requires at least 21,500 points (D).
The mid-semester exam is similar
to this except that it is twice as
long since it covers a nine week
period . The students have ample
time to complete their exams,
since the testing period is one hour
less twenty minutes (which is devoted to instructions), less ten
minutes ( reviewing the proceedin g
day's assignment), and less ten

I want to compliment Connie

cummerband circles the waist and
ends in a huge bow In the back.
It is truly one of the prettiest
gowns I have ever seen and I know
Connie can't help but have a fabulous time, knowing how nice she
will look.
Well, I am finally approaching
the end. I won't say if it is the
end of the semester, the column, or

think these complaints are justifi ed?
A. Absolutely not ! These impudent young upstarts are simply
trying to upset you. They obviousl y
do not know a fair test when they
get one . The instigators of these
complaints must be found and removed from the campus at_ once.
Do not give quarter to these rascals! Hold the fort!
