1956-5 7 Budget
Lists Increases

President Andruss has noted,
several important changes in the
1956-'57 budget. Four of the five
athletic teams are receiving increases as follows: football, $6400
to $6500; baseball, $1200 to $1850;
an additional $200 to the basketball team, which brings their budgets to $1900; $350 increase in
wrestling budget to raise their
amount from $850 to $1200. Their
necessity for uniforms and equipment has stimulated these increases.
Regarding the more cultural
vein, $500 has been set aside to
further those evening programs,
sponsored by Bloomsburg, The
Morning Assembly Committee,
which now receive $1500,! will receive $2500 in the coming college
vear.

The Maroon and Gold Band will
receive $750. A sum of $2000 has
been alloted for organ repairs.
College Council, which now receives $1200 annually, next year
will receive $1600.
These increased allotments are
coming from the increased semestor activities fees, which will be
$20.00 per student ' starting September, 1956. This means that
$10.00 more annually will go toward the student activities; however, of this $10.00 Increase. $2,00
will go to the Obiter, $1.00 to the
respective class treasuries, and
$1.00 to the Dormitory or Day Associat ions, thus eliminating the
necessity of paying these fees separately at the time of registration.
There will be 1100 student* on '
campus next year—and each one
should experience a biggest and
better Bloomsburg!

WHY EVALUATE?
Evaluation is a word that has been tossed around in the field of
education. We, as students in a State Teachers College, are familiar
with the sound of the word . Are we familiar with its depth of meaning and application?
In education evaluation is most important, as a good teacher evaluates each day's work both on the part of the children and herself.
Therefore, we, as future teachers, should be concerned with evaluation.
We must learn to condition ourselves and our actions in order to be
receptive to evaluation.
A job done well has as its final step the evolution of the work. As
we near the end of the school year, each of us should take a backward
glance at what we have accomp lished. Our hopes and ambitions will
not all have been attained but a certain percentage should have been.
In looking back we should not onl y be concerned with our scholastic
development but also think of the social and cultural advancements.
Each student should develop in the manners which are most advantageous for him. When evaluating a year spent in college preparing
to educate our nation's youth, many factors must be under consideration.
Yes, now is your opportunity to reminisce and evaluate this college
year. Make the word "evaluation" have meaning for you and apply it
to your life. It is a sure way of assuring yourself that your time will
be wisely spent.

HONOR ROLL of HITS

Here it is—May, already ! Seems
as if it were only a few weeks ago
that September was here, and we
were just starting out this new
school year. But now it's nearly
over, and we'd like to refresh your
memories a little.
Do you remember what was the
biggest hit of September? Or what
was so very popular way back in
January ? If not , we'd like to mention some of the biggest hits of the
past school year.
Of course, these are all from
the popular field , which is the
point of interest of today's column. And they're not in the order
of their popularity.
Do you remember: "Unchained
Melody," "Autumn Leaves," "Suddenly There's a Valley," "Lisbon
Antigua," "Memories Are Made of
This," "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing," "Cry Me a River, "
"No, Not Much," "The Poor People of Paris," "The Man With the
Golden Arm," "Heartbre ak HOtnl

Well, probably most of you remember them, but ju st as a matter of history, your reporter did a
little research and found some interesting news an the "top ten " of
five years ago, when most of us
were enjoy ing our high school
flings. Think back to the good old
days of April, 1951, when the most
popular tunes were: "Mockingbird
Hill," "If , " "Aba Daba Honeymoon," "Be My Love," "Would I
Love You", "Sparrow In the Treetop," "How High the Moon," "On
Top of Old Smokey, " "Tennessee
Waltz," "I Apologize."

P' ublication Edi tors
Nam ed f or Next Year

At a recent meeting of the Publications Committee, appointments
were made for student publications for the College Year 1956-57.
Appointed as Editor of the Obiter was Suzanne Osborn, who will
be capably assisted by Marilyn

Well, stretch your memories a
little further—way back to April
1941, and the top ten of that period , when many of us were still
in grammar school. The big hits
of that day in order of their popularity were: "Oh!" "What It
Seemed to Be," "One-zy-Two-zy, "
"You Won't Be Satisfied ," "Personality," "Day By Day, " "Shoo
Fly Pi e a nd Apple Pan Dowdy ,"
"Laughing on the Outside," "Doctor, Doctor, Lawyer, Indi an Chief ,"
"Sioux City Sue," "Prisoner of
Love."
Enough for the pop hits of the
past—let's take a look at the
present! There have been an unusual amount of released recordings to hit popularity in the past
two weeks. Some of these are :
"Just as Long as I'm With You ",
Pat Boone; "In the Mood," The
Mattox Brothers ; "Church Bells
Will Ring ", The Diamonds; "The
Happy Whistler," Don Robertson;
"Standing on the Corner", The
Four Lads; "The Wayward Wind ,"
Gogi Grant.
Usilally we mention the hit song
of the week at the close of each
column, but since this is the last
for the year, we'd like to name our
choice of the top tune of the year.
It's a difficult job to say which of
the many tunes have been most
popular on campus, but we have
noted "Autumn Leaves, " by Roger
Williams as the all-time favorite
of '55.
Well, that's it for this year, but
it's going to be a great summerso keep listening,
— Nettie
The Maroon & Gold will be
handled by Ray Seltz with Mary
Galatha as his assistant.
The Literary Publication, The
Olympian will be edited by Mae
RomJg, who will have as her assistant Irene Zielinski,
These appointments were approved by President Andruss, and
already the various persons are
busy making plans for their various publications.

Well, here it is the end of the
year . Can you believe it is time to
leave the friendly institution on
the hill ? It has been a nice year,
hasn't it ? Just think of all the fiin
we have had. In case any parents
might be reading this, I will say
that we have done our share of
work, too. But I guess I should
stick to the business at hand and
leave this sentimentality for Long
Porch on the afternoon of the
24th!

As for fads and fashions this
year, we have had our share. I
don 't mean to steal from "Th e
Male Scene ", but I really believe
that the male fashions have been
more changeable than those of the
female world . A good example is
kakhi slacks. First they were seen
in the kakhi color they were intended to be. Before too long, however, they appeared in black, sporting the Ivy League mark of a
buckle in the back. Now, by the
end of the year, 'kakhis have made
a third appearance, this time in
olive green . Along the sweater
line, crew n eck sweaters almost
caught up to the V-necked variety in popularity. Belts switched
from plaids to diagonal stripes.
Men seen in Bermuda shorts were
few and far between, but maybe
by next year we will have more
brave souls.
I know this sounds like I am
st ealing Tom's thunder, so I'll
move on to the female line. Before
I do, though, I want to say "hats
off to a group of stylish fellas."
No wonder Bloomsburg will be predominately a girls' school next
year. You men have undoubtedly
been part of the attraction.
It's hard to know where to begin in the female world. Bermudas have been topg again this year.
Believe me, the one thing they
will never have to fight for is
popularity among the coeds. I hope
we will see more of them around
the campus next year.
Kakhi has definitely found a
place in our wardrobes. Thanks
to the fellas for that, along with
the traditional buckle in the back.
Come to think of it , we haven't
had too many elaborate fads this
year. I guess the most popular one
was trying to stay off probation!
Before I forget, I must get a
plug in for the big shin-dig on
Saturday night. Here is your
chance to cease those frustration
bl u es, girls. Let' s give the fellas a
break and treat them to a real
Sadie Hawkins affair. They really
deserve a treat. Anyway, the Sophomores are going out of their way

The Male Scene

For summer days, summer suits.
Here in capsule view is what we've
heard.
You need a loose weave so that
air can pass through readily. For
example, stay away from gabardine, for it is about the tightest
of woven fabrics. A nine-ounce
fabric of great popularity is the
55% dacron-45% wool combination .
The cord suit is in for another
big showing this summer. The
amount of cotton determines how
this suit looks, and it usually looks
casually crushed. You can purchase blends of 75% dacron and
25% cotton all the way down to
all cotton models. Some men wear
cotton cords immaculately; others,
oh well!
For almost pressing-free comfort from Palm Beach comes a
fabric (25% dacron , 15% mohair,
and 60% viscose ) that has a linenlike appearance and can be had in
a full range of colors. The Springweave line by Palm Beach has the
look of a tailored tropical worsted
with a fabric blended of wool and
mohair.
To look like a million bucks,
crawl into a coveted silk suit . It
creases like mad, but it feels and
looks great .
We have "hemmed and hawed"
for a year now and we rather
lik ed i t . We sincerely hope you enj oyed it, too. We have tried to
keep you up-to-date on styles,
colors, and fabrics. We 've thrown
a few digs here and there because
of personal feelings toward some
new styles. We will probably fall
in line with these new fads, so
nothing was really meant except
that we are sometimes conservative. We look at It this way : if it
is appropriate, looks well, is comfortable and accessoried to your
individual taste, who the heck
cares, and you will feel like the
top ten well-dressed men,
That's the way we think . Have
a carefree vacation ; school begins
September 11.

Hillto p Hi-Lites '' " S"
Take a walk on some warm summer's night
When the moon and the stars are j ust right
Til you come to a comfortable nook
(Th e type that belongs in a book!)
Then sit down, and relax, and review
What has happened to you and your crew.
For baseball we had a great team
Doc Wagner walked around in a dream
Eleven-to-nothing brought us our fame
Killinger's still singing "Ain't That A Shame."
If th ey did give out trophies to put in a case,
This year 's teams would need the most space.
We know that you 're not going to grieve
On the day that you 're planning to leave
The campus that's nothing like home;
And so we're writing this poem (?)
To tell you to have a good time,
But stay away from bad places and wine.
You think it was fun to wind a may pole ?
Frankly, we'd much rather fall in a hole.
Remember the travelers from old Arkansas ?
Didn 't Arnie Redboard make a cute maw ?
Did you notice the holes in Phil Mosier 's pants ?
He may not be graceful, but he still did the dance.
Then there was Herman with the rose tatoo—
By the time he was finished , it was covered with dew.
A few student teachers had some hard times.
I hope we can think of something that rhymes!;
Eyebrows are something Buzzy Wool needs,
'Cause Martha's been up to her dastardly deeds.
Bubble gum's usually a harmless thing —
But not in the hands of Martha Persing.
"Plain and Fancy " was a high-class show,
But some of those clothes have got to go!
Sure all the models looked nice and cute
But give us a man in a gray flannel suit.
Now we're only speaking for the girls of the college
Who are looking for men as well as for knowledge.
On top of old Carver all covered with tin
There sits an old bottle of powerful gin.
After a test we were having a party.
The j okes were off color, the laugh's were hearty.
Al Hoffman suggested "Let's think up a scheme
To prove that this session is not just a dream."
We thought of a trophy, or maybe a plaque,
Or kidnapping Roongo and painting him black.
Nothing quite suited the gang that was there;
Then Jakes thought of a plan that curled our hair.
We took the last bottle without wasting time
Over to Carver and started to climb.
Now there on the tower—right under the clock
Stands the bottle of gin and Gary Yohe's sock.
So we've completed another year
And for you all we shed a tear
Because next year we may not see
The kid who sat by you or me.
The reasons are not hard to find ,
So we will not bring to mind
The list that tells of every grade
And of fees that won't be paid.
Just remember that you 're better off
With measles or with whooping cough
Than to have received a dirty "E"

Great Potentia lity

During the 1956 season, Coach
Harold Shelly 's track men encountered some good competition
and managed to come out with
one win in three meets. The lone
victory , away from home, was one
in which th e Hu skies came ou t on
top with a 66-61 score. In their
own back yard, the Huskies were
less fortunate, bowing to Lock
Haven 72-49 and East Stroudsburg
71-55.
•Despite the .333 average, many
of the tr ackmen tu rn ed in fine
performances. John "Buzz" Wool
was the outstanding distance man,
nabbing three first places in the
mile and two firsts in the half
mile. Al Tucker, also a senior,
took three first places in the 100
y ard dash, although he did get
some very good competition from
his own teammate, Jim Browning.
One of the most consistent performers was sophomore, Charlie
Loughery, in the high and low
hurdles. Charles displayed much
talen t and seems to have a very
good future ahead of him as a
track man here at B.S.T.C.
Other performers that showed
plenty of ability and consistency
were: Gerald Wood, discus; Jim
Gusta ve, high jump; Ed Watts,
440; and Frank Kren, pole-vault.
Kren , although handicapped by a
football inj ury, displayed driving
spirit by giving all he had in his
appearances.
During the course of the season, the Huskies sent four aces to
the Penn Relays in Philadelphia.
Jim Browning, Charlie Loughery,
Buzz Wool, and Ed Watti all made
the trip and as a team, finished
sixth out of eight entries.
At the State Teachers College
Meet at West Chester , Gerald
Wood . Charlie Loughery, and Al
Tucker displayed their abilities as
they took fourth , two thirds, and
fifth places respectively.
P r o s p e c t i v e trackmen that
showed plenty of potentiality
were : freshman . Ken Wood, and
sophomore, Ed Mugayero, javelin;
freshman , Stan Covington, shot
put; and sophomore, Dick Kressler, broad jump.
With the varsity letter winners
and other fine prospects joining
forces, Coach Harold Shelly's cindermen have something to look
forward to next track season.

Q, I am a veteran attending the second semester of college under the
Korean GI Bill. If I stay out of school next semester to work, will my
GI Bill be void if I apply for school again the following semester ?
A. No. Veterans are permitted to suspend their GI Bill training for
up to 12 months without VA approval and without losing further entitlement. Continuous pursuit of a GI Bill course is not required before the
cutoff date—thre e years after discharge. However, a veteran must be in
actual training on that date, except where he interrupts for other reasons beyond his control , or under conditions deemed by VA to be otherwise excusable.

Courses in Swimming

Water safety here at Bloomsburg has taken two steps forward
in the courses offered. In September the Senior Life Saving Course
was given to 33 people out of
which 21 passed. Instruction was
given every Tuesday for 2 hours.
The Senior Life Saving certification must be renewed every three
years. Those who passed the Red
Cross Life Saving course are Barry Beilharz, William Calderwood,
Gary Egli, Fern Goss, Ivan Hartman, Emma Kovalevich, Jane
Martini, Molly Mattern, Julia Ann
Muir, Kay Nearing, Jane Neff ,
Jane Ott, June Pope, Linda Rug^
gieri , Matthew Sasso, Sally Ann '
Smith, Marcia Storm, Ronnie Taylor, Mary Ann Thornton, Ralph
Wetzel, and Willard Ziegler. The
possibility of going on to the Instructors course was determined
by two qualified people here on
campus, Don Alter and Margaret
Brinser.
Persons who show ability are
recommended for the advanced
Instructors course. As a result of
this course, there are 17 persons
who are certified Red Cross Water
Safety instructors. Part I of the
course was taught by Don and
Margaret. Part II entitled—Final
Exam—was handled by Mr. Z. V.
Harkleroad, the eastern safety
services representative of the American Red Cross. The following
people successfully completed the
two parts of the Instructor's
course. Robert Asby, Barry Beilharz, William Calderwood, Gary
Egli, Larry Fisher, Emma Kovalevich, Jane Martini, Molly Matt ern . Julia Ann Muir, Kay Nearing, J ane Neff , Jane Ott , Matthew
Sasso, Sally Ann Smith, Mary
Ann Thornton, Ralph Wetzel, Willard Ziegler, Margaret Brinser
and Mrs. Mary Lou Thomas. The
last two people were re-certified.
Don Alter , a Junior from Danville, is also a certified Red Cross
Water Safety Instructor in this
area , and it was his responsibility
to teach and test the trainees in
the first two courses. He has been
engaged in this type of work for
more than five years. During that
time , his duties included teaching
survival swimming to navy personnel at both the Newport Naval
Base in Rhode Island and the
Naval Reserve Training Center in
Williamsport. This summer Don
plans to teach swimming courses
at the Sunnybrook Farm in Danville.

Hidden Talents in
BSTC' s Librar y

"Books, books everywhere and
not a one uninteresting." That
may be a take-off on a quote from
S. T. Coleridge's "The Ancient
Mariner ", but I bet there are dozens upon dozens of interesting
books in our library, which no one
has looked quite far enough or
long enough to find.
Did you know we have a book
of poetry about Pennsylvania written by a man from Honesdale ?
"Poems of Pennsylvania" by Irving Sidney Dix is right here on the
shelves waiting to be taken out.
Mr . Dix has sometimes been referred to as "the Poet of the Poconos". due to having depicted in
verse and rhyme the virtues of
rural life in that delightful region
of the state . He has given an intimate picture of the splendor of
Pennsylvania scenery and of the '
nobility of its pioneers.

ANSWERS YQUR QUESTIONS
Q. I am a student at BSTC. I
am president of my class, captain
of the football team , editor or the
school paper , and president of the
biggest fraternity on campus , Eta
Peeza Pi. My picture was in the
last issue of "Muscle Builder " because of my wonderful physique. I
go steady, I've dated the Snow
Queen, tne Coed of the *ear , the
Varsity Queen , and the May Day
Queen quite regularly. Last montu
I was voted the student most liKely to succeed. Where have 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
schabble. 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 pro bation for four
years. My cumulative average has
never gone above .002. Fran kly,
I'm' worried about my grades. The
teachers alwa ys, give me a hard
time in class period. I think they
are slightl y irri tated 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 stron g evidence of this. Who
else in your class has an avera ge
such as yours ? The fact that you
are on probation reveals that you
belon g to an exclusive group; you
are not part of the common mass.
The belligerent attitude of your
professors is simply a ease of re ^
verse psycholo gy. In realit y they
hold you in high esteem as a student Their irritation toward your
ukulele music is really their way
of expressin g their hunger for
musical talent such as yours.
When they give you an "E" , what
they trul y mean to say is, "We
like you."

myself a junior at BSTC. My cumulative average is 3.6 (I have never missed an assembly). I am en-

(plus expenses) for graduae work

I take this offer or should I stay

in the field you are now pursuing.
Science is dead, especially^ the field

Q. Three years ago I stopped
working in the coal mines to become a freshman coed at BSTC.
You see, my family is ver y, very
poor. During' the day my mother
drives a beer truck and at night
she scrubs all the floors hi the
Empire State Building. But she
doesn't complain. My father , however, refuses to work. He spends
the day throwing away mother 's
hard-earned money on cigarettes ,
rye whisk y, 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 these condi tions. Tell
me, Dr. Negative, what can I do?
A. You wicked girl. You are a
ver y 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 Dadd y beats her. She deserves it. I suggest that you tell your

mother to mend her ways. She is

the one who is causin g dissension
ana sorro w in your nome .
Q For the past fifty-five years I
have been teaching at BSTC. I
am also Assistant Dean of Night
Men. I am not happy. The students
in my classes are talking behin d
my back . They think I am unfair
in my test s. I do not! think my
tests are difficult or too long. Durin g the week, I gkve occasional
(three) quick- quizes which consist
of not over ten essay questions requiring a minimum of six pages
each to be correctly answered. My
mid-mid-semes ter exams (ever y
four and one half weeks) contain
eight hundred true-fa lse-both-neither questions, worth 4,000 points
combined with thirty-four essay
questions worth 18,000 points . fV
passing grade f or the complete test
requires at least 21,500 points (D).
The mid-semes ter 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 test ing period Is one hour
less twent y minutes (which is devoted to Instructions ), less ten
minutes (reviewing the preced ing
day 's assignment), and less ten
minutes (explaining the assignment for the following da y). Many
complaints about my testing program have been registered with
the Dean of Instruct ion. Do you
