would like to welcome back to a

of 1960. Your fresh new faces
and personalities also help to
make BSTG what it is by giving
us "old" ones the opportunity to
make new acquaintances and keep
that friendly spirit alive.. The
MAROON AND GOLD joins
the rest of the College in wishing.,
you a successful first year. We are
sure that in a few short weeks
your class will be an integral part
of our school.
The various committees of both
faculty and students have com1
bined their efforts to make the
new students feel a part of the
student body. By necessity, the
first week at any college must be
one of procedure and academic
purpose. It must be the "extras"
in the program of the opening
week that create that "at home"
feeling . With this in mind , the
program committee prepared this
week's activities. Below are the
results of their planning.
Tuesday
To lend an informal atmosphere
helpful to forming new friendships
and relationships, the first big occasion was an old-fashioned square
dance on Tuesday night. The plan
became a success as the "new" and
the "old" mingled together so well
that at the evening's end, they
could hardly be separated into
these classes.
Wednesday & Thursday
Since the firs t days of placement
tests are rather hectic for the
freshmen, the committee felt that
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
should be comparatively light.
Wednesday evening the Student
Christian Association held a short
welcoming party for the new students . The students received information concerning the local
churches and the various church
organiaztions on campus. After
this program, the lounge was available for card games, gossip, and
general tete-a-tetes. This evening
the men are holding a smoker Jn
the Husky Lounge.
Friday
Friday will be the beginning of
classes for freshmen, (Other students are well on their way by
then). Yet, the real fun will just
begin . Friday nigh t, with the first
day 's classes under his belt, everyone will be able to enj oy the Social Recreation Committee's first
game night. There will be* enUertainment for every taste, with facilities for dancing, cards, scrabble,
monopoly, and group singing provided .
Saturday
Saturday afternoon should be of
interest to everyone, for our 1956
football squad will have it's debut.
A scrimmage with Bueknell University is scheduled. Freshmen will
be given a chance to see how our
team compare s with a team out of
its class (supposedly) . The upperclassmen know the truth about the
matter. The only annual followers
of these scrimmages who go away
surprised are a few sports writers;
they are hard to convince.
Saturday evening has been left
open for at least one reason, Those
frosh successfully oriented will be
able, by then to provide for their
own entertainment, *

EDITORIAL
Our college has set an all-time high in enrollment this year, with
1075 students now attending classes. As a consequence of this record
enrollment , there are many problems to be met academically and
administratively. But foremost in our minds—the problem the editors
are confronted with—is that of our newspaper. The Maro on and Gold
has never had so large a circulation. It must now serve many more
readers, and, as a result , must satisf y more varied interests. If we arc
to create an informative newspaper—one that will report all news
accurately, concisely, and originall y; stimulate interest in college and
community affairs; and yet be entertaining with informative feature
stories—we need your help.
You can hel p us physically, by digging out stories, typing, copyreading, etc. You can help us spirituall y, by giving us moral support and
any constructive criticisms involved. The latter is what we are asking
for now. It is important for us to know your opinions, suggestions and
ideas. Feel free to drop in at the Maroon and Gold Office any time it"
is open, and give us a reader's view of the readers' paper.
This invitation is also extended to faculty members.
Our problem, in short, is soliciting enough interest and enthusiasm
among our readers to make our paper—your paper—a success. We
ask again for your co-operation.

"How much do we get this summer?" "Will our checks be reduced
during summer school?" "Why do they deduct a month from us when
they pay us for only half a month? "
These are but a few of the questions which swamped Dean Hoch's
office this summer, and gave many a G.I. heartburn. Since questions such
as these are continuously being asked, and since the school has no direct
facilities for the latest information pertinent to "college-going" G.I.'s,
this column has been requested.
A large percentage of BSTC's student body is composed of you G.I.'s.
This is your column, dependent upon your support and your co-operation.
The questions you have are important , for if they 've occurred to you,
othes too may be concerned with them. We can 't know too much about
our rights and privileges as G.I.'s, and yet it could be very costly to us
not to have been informed.
Your questions, unless otherwise stated by you, will be published in
this column followed by the correct answer as obtained from the Veterans Administration . Information concerning both World War II and
Korean G.I. Bills, in addition to questions of insurance or compensation ,
will be published in response to your requests.
The aoove paragraphs may sound familiar to some of you G.I.'s for
they have been quoted from the first Veteran 's Pipeline article published
in this paper November 18, 1955. Since that time this column has attempted to bring you the latest and most pertinen t information necessary to "college-going" G.I.'s. Although handicapped by infrequent
responses, this column has varied its information in hopes of meeting
the needs of its silent public. It is encouraging to learn that even though
its readers are silent many of them have by way of the "grapevine",
expressed their interest and hope that the column will be continued
throughout the new college year.
This is the question which must be answered by you G.I.'s In an
effort to learn the consensus of the st u dents , a notice will be placed on
the bulletin board in the Day Men's Room from Sept. 12-Sept. 19. All
interested persons are urged to sign their names in favor of continuing
or discontinuing Veteran's Pipeline. In addition , space will be provided
for any suggestions which you G.I.'s may have concerning the present
column or other related information.

STRAIGHT from the HORSE'S MOUTH
:

. . by MARCIA STORM_

As I tried to recall some of last year 's even ts for this art icle, I realized
that it' s a whole year since we as freshmen doffed our dinks at the
familiar cry, "But tons. Frosh!" Time has passed rapidly, and now I'm

here to try to give you a glimpse of what lies ahead by reminisceing a
little.
Our first day at BSTC was seasoned with confusion and frustration as
we handed our hard-earned cash to the unfamiliar faces of the faculty
and upperclassmen. I can't think of a quicker way to spend several hundred dollars in a half hour.
We doled out all that money and expected in return a complete education in the space of two days—but the faculty did a turnabout by trying
to learn things from us in Placement Tests! But we did meet our classmates in Carver Auditorium those three days (the student proctors who
helped monitor the tests were worth knowing, too.)
Af t erwards, we donned j aunty Maroon and Gold dinks, memorized t he
Alma Mater from top to bottom, and wore childhood ribbons in our hair.
Customs was one of the best times of the year . I can recall vividly the
rain-coated frosh praying to Bob (Rain God) Asby as the prayers were
fulfilled by the upperclassmen. That's one time it literally rained buckets.
Classes began in a short time and we became acquainted with the
faculty. We also started boning up a bit in order to have that "straight
A" report sent home at the nine weeks period (well it does take a few
months to adj ust—they told me).
Freshman Trials ended the orientation of the new students—ended it
with a bang. I recall vividly Charlie Riegel and Joe Pendall racing to
empty their baby bottles before the others, and Jo Bechtel trying frantically to assemble the jumble of equipment called a football uniform.
The Freshman Talent Show and Hop gave us, as a group, an opportunity to display our talents and originality. By this time we were a
smoothly organized part of the college.
There were many more activities that kept us busy throughout the
year, (like Homecoming weekend, the Battle of the Classes, the President's Reception) offering more opportunities for social and mental
growth. You might call it social and mental "broadening" but that only
reminds us femme fatales what that regular, balanced diet did to our
girlish figures.
All these moments and events are written in our diaries, scrapbooks,
or j ust memories. They are over, part of the past. We are fortunate in
having experienced them, but we might say that you are even more
fortunate, for a year of impressions, elations, mysteries, and friendships
are yours yet to discover.

HONOR ROLL of HITS

i^nette

W ell, Hi again! Here we are once more at BSTC and all ready to
begin another semester of college life. The summer has hurried by, but
musically speaking, many hit records have remained.
Many of these are in a classification all their own. We can't exactly
classify them for you, but we must admit that "Flying Saucer," "Stranded In the Jungle, " "Ape CalJ , " and "Transfusion " have hit the top.
"Why?" you ask. You tell us!
And another question . Can anyone explain the phenomenal success of
Elvis Presley, who is hailed the greatest thing to come out of Tennessee
since Daniel Boone. Whatever your personal opinion of Mr. Presley may
be, you have to admit one thing: he certainly is getting rich.
However, it may interest you to know that in a recent newspaper
interview, the son of Democratic candidate, Adlai Stevenson, was asked
what he thought of Elvis Presley. "Who?" ho asked, "I've never heard
of him." Irate teenagers j ustified the statement by replying that it could
be expected. Young Stevenson has been at Harvard two years.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS for 1956-57

i

]

By BILL KAU T Z
When the first whistle blows and the ball is put into play on Mount
Olympus this season a veteran backfleld will be absent. Losing a backfleld of four years experience is enough to give any football coach ulcers,
but losing a backfield that gave an excellent account of themselves both
offensively and defensively could cause more than ulcers. Mike Lashendock, quarterback ; Jim Browning and Bob Groover, halfbacks; and
Harvey Boughner, fullback, were all very good ball carriers. Coach
Yohe now has men that can replace them in the ball-carrying department , with the possible exception of an outside runner like Browning.
However ,the big j ob will be finding men that can move as fast on the
defense. In the past few years it can be said that a few of the Husky
victories came by virtue of the fact that the line backers caught many
a runner from behind . Among the missing on opening day will be three
standout line performers : Charl es Skiptunas, center and one of the best
linebackers in the conference ; Joe Kwak, guard; and Harrison Morson ,
end.
Returning lettermen should give a good account of themselves, although much will depend upon the large number of freshmen candidates.
One of jthe hard spots to fill will be the quarterback slot. There are five
freshmen candidates. One of the hard spots to fill will be the quarterback slot. There are five freshmen coming out this year that have been
quarterbacks in high school and Coach Yohe is looking for a man that
meets the qualifications of a college quarterback. Two returning men
played some ball at quarterback last year: John Oustrich and Oscar
Snyder . Oustrich saw a lot of action since Lashendock was inj ured early
in the season , and he will probably see a lot more action this year .
In all there are twenty-two lettermen returning to the campus this
year and all should see considerable action before the last whistle blows.
The Husky line should give a good account of themselves as almost all
are veterans. Ends Bob Strou p, Bob Asby and Dick Strine are returning
to Husky livery along with guards Frank Kaminsky, Joe Wescavage,
Frank Prusch and Ken Wood. Tackles Carl 'DeFebo. Harry Hughes and
also some sophmore'tackles will be returning to the campus. The center
spot which will be one of the hardest spots to fill has two veteran contenders. Bernie Zaborowski and George Chaump have both seen action
at this spot and both boys will be trying hard to fill the vacancy.
The defensive backfield will be Coach Yohe's biggest problem. There
are several fine running backs returning this season and all have had
their share of ball running time. There are also several men returning
from the service that earned letters on earlier Husky squads. Bob Bottorf , a back from Bellefonte won a letter under Coach Yohe in 1952, and
Morris Schultz an end from Plains also lettered the same year. Another
returnee, Jack Long from Shamokin lettered two years under former
Coach Redmen before entering the Armed Forces. All of these men
played service ball and should give a good account of themselves.
Quarterbacks Oustrich and Snyder mentioned before, and fullbacks Joe
Malczyk, Jerry Wood, and Woodrow Rhoades will all be returning. They
are all veteran Husky performers and will provide a nucleus for the
shaping of the 1956 backfield.
Coach Yohe, from his k nowledge ot our opponents, feels th at California
STC has the best championship potential . From my knowledge of Husky
teams of the past, I know that the rest of the State Teachers College
Conference will know that Bloomsburg is in there fighting to retain the
championship.

Huskies To Renew
Play with Eagles
Of Lock Hav en

Ensi gn George Derk
Graduate of BSTC
Makes Solo Flight

Competition to Resume in
Gridiron Activities in '57

BSTC—Aug. 18. Husky athletic
teams at BSTC will compete
against the Bald Eagles of Lock
Haven State Teachers College in
four sports during the current
year, including basketball, wrestling, baseball , and track. In addition , arrangements have been
completed to resume gridiron relations between the two schools in
the fall of 1957. The Eagles and
Huskies, who battled to scoreless
tie in their 1955 meeting when the
latter tearrt won the conference
championship, were unable to meet
this year because of scheduling
diffi culti es.
Present plans and arrangements
indicate that the Huskies will meet
Lock Haven, West Chester, Mansfield Shippensburg, and California
State Teachers Colleges in 1957
gridiron events. According to the
rotation plan, Coach Yohe's charges should be pitted against Kutztown , Millersville, East Stroudsburg, and West Chester in 1958. It
is hoped that the conference schedule will also make possible continuing play with Shippensburg and
Mansfield , and that gridiron relations with Cheyney can get underway during the 1958 season.
In past years, the Huskies have
often played three or more consecutive contests on Mt . Olympus
and an equal or larger number
away from home. When the rotating schedule is in full effect home
and away games should occur more
frequently on an alternate basis.

I guess you know Mary Jane and Charlie Casper are married. Well,
girls, here's something worth some concern—Jerry Wood married a girl
from home and Jim Browning got hitched to a Bloomsburg town girl.
What's wrong ? What's lacking in BSTC Co-eds?
Bo Rainey came back with a mustachio but had to shave it off because
Mr. Yohe stopped his food supply as a persuader.
One of our grads—Jack Koch—spent his summer on the other side of
the bar (the inside). He mu st've been a good mixer 'cause one of his
customers, who turned out to be one superintendent of a New Jersey
school system, was really impressed. (The contract was signed on the
bar and Koch is now a member of some New Jersey faculty.)
Look out English majors ! Our boys rented all the apartments in town
befor e ou r new Engli sh Prof , Dr. Bahlke, had a chance to look around.
He usea the old Redman apartment for a while and then Nancy Miller
came to the rescue with her summer cottage (NO HEAT). And we hear
there's an apartment for rent in October. (Is that when grades come

his hair cut (what hair cut?) George O'Connell started smoking a pipe
. . . is this another Donald MacLean ? And, oh yes, we can't let a column go by without mentioning the trim figures of Joe Johnston and Joe
Malczyk.
Dig these new football players! Except for Al Francis with a bum
knee and Branas with a shoulder inj ury the new ones are in great shape.
Joe Panichelia tells me he gets his energy from the Snack Bar food. (I
believe it!)
As for the older men on the team, note the limp in their walk and the
pain on their faces . Can practices be that rough or is age the problem ?
Really, tho—experience usually comes out in front.
The coaches and their pictures in the paper wearing, of all things,
shorts. Mr. Blair, our youngest, was wearing a shirt. (Mr . Shelly should
see the two Joe's about their dieting habits.) Looking closely at the
picture, I see a new coach, Mr. Horace Williams of Snack Bar fame.
Ask Mr. Williams for details on Lu Natter, his right hand man once
