Saspar illa
Speaks . .
or

A Squirrel's Eye
View . .
Hey there, I'm Sasparilla Squirrel, an old-timer around this place.
Why , my family "tree" goes way back to Normal School days — not that

it's not normal around here now, but life is just moving faster these days.
Why just last week, Elaine Jakes and Mary Heatley trampled my tail on
their mad dash to an eight o'clock class. Maybe I can get some of that
burnt toast Mr . Blair has been throwing away lately to give my tail a
curl again.
And progress! On Return Day, or whatever they call it, Inoticed
some alumni hurrying to see the new cafeteria. But it was closed—the
order of cold cuts didn't come in.
Mr. Henrie and his company of upper-trip-tever proj ectionists have
been keeping the Audio Vis. Ed. rooms in a hubub lately. The two-minute
projector test was scheduled for last Tuesday. But the pay-off came
when both projectors accidently ( ? ) broke down.
Last month I was startled about the renaming of Waller Hall. I overheard some co-eds saying that one of them wrote letters to a friend back
home with Waller Hall as the return address. After seeing these letters
about the house quite often, the girl's mother asked, "Who is this Walter
Hall who has been writing to you?"
I was thrilled last weekend when I heard that Mae West, Tab Hu nter ,
Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley were on campus. I didn 't get to see
them in person but I did get their autographs from those weekend meal
tickets they signed.
Never will I forget the Saturday morning I peeked in on two 4th floor
girls asleep at 9 o'clock. They invited a knocker to come in and then
ducked under the covers. Guess they didn 't t hink the workmen wou ld
come to put in the screen so early on Saturday.
Do you know what I thought was the sweetest thing on Welcome
Day ? The candy that Gus Spentzas and Joe Dekutoski had ready for
visitors ( some were chocolate-covered nuts).
We haven't been treated by the bobby pin brigade lately. It pays to
hang around near short, I mean long, porch on fire drill nights. It is a
good thing you men can't see the women in those situations—drooping
eyelids, chin-straps, mud-packs, and long woolies under a coat !
Well, # Fve kept quiet all these years, but I thought it was about time
to speak up and tell you kids about some things that only the squirrels
notice.
Signed,
Sasparilla Squirrel , Esquire

ALPHA PSI OMEGA
The Alpha Omicron chapter of
the co-educational dramatic fraternity met on Tuesday , October
16, for an informal initiation of
new members. This year's pledges
are Alice Faux, Donald Schlauch ,
Robert Ebner, and William (Bud)
Sheridan. Formal initiation will
take place on October 23, immediately following the regular
meeting of The Dramatic Club.
Officers of the fraternity and
their adviser, Mr. Boyd Buckingham , have been invited to be the
guests of the "Players" of Susquehanna University. Along with
dramatic groups from five or six
colleges of this area, they will attend the "Players" production of
"The Heiress". Immediately following the presentation , a social
hour has been planned for the entire group.

and by our own Maroon and Gold
Band who presented a special tribute to the alumni in the form, of
a story about "the lives of two
alumni. "
An informal get-together was
held after the game in the Waller
Hall lobby. Coffee, doughnuts, and
cider were enj oyed while everyone talked over "old times" with
classmates and friends.
Following the Homecoming
dinner, many enjoyed dancing to
Gerry Kehler 's Orchestra at Centennial Gym . Thus ended a busy
day, as the alumni left the campus, looking ahead to the thirtieth annual Homecoming.

Programs have been planned for
the entire year with guest speakers as the main feature,

The Frosh are stealing the show
again. But it's okay because this
one is theirs—Tuesday in assembly they 'll present a medieval
Minstrel show, their contribution
to the annual freshman talen t
shows. For many weeks in the
half-lighted auditorium , Jack Herman and Sandy McBride, student
advisors, have selected, coached,
and encouraged the performers. A
little row of j udicial-looking freshmen have reviewed them, making
notes for costumes and script.
They themselves have practiced,
revised , and practiced again their
acts, until they are ready to present to you a show filled with
professional music, frivolous songs
with some new twists added , serious drama , and spicy humor.
Some of the acts include Susty
Wood who twirls her baton to a
rock 'n roll beat, a sultry interpretation of the famous M M by
Virginia Deibort , and a soul-shaking oration by Maureen Barber.
And the comedy high spot is a
group of lovely BSTC "gals" who
do a coy song and dance routine
that's one of the funniest we've
ever seen.
So on Tuesday in assembly,
Sandy and Jack will be back stage
with their fingers crossed, Suzy
will bo flashing her baton Jn the
spotlight, and (if you 're smart)
you'll be In the Carver Auditorium

FEDERAL BENEFITS FOR VETERANS
Civilian Insurance — Payments of premiums on non-government insurance which were waived during active service under the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Civil Relief Act must be resumed within two years after discharge or release from active service:
Discharge Review — Apply within 15 years after June 22, 1944 or after the da te of discharge, whichever is later.
Education, and Training — World War II G.I. Bill will draw to a close
on July 25, 1956 for all ex-servicemen enrolled under this plan.
Exception : Those enlisted or re-enlisted ( under Public Law 190, 79th
Cong. ) between Oct. 6, 1954 and Oct. 5, 1946 have nine years from term ination of first enlistment or re-enlistment. Under the present law only
a handful of World War II veterans will be eligible to continue their
training under this law at government expense.
A question asked was: "If I have unused G.I. training entitlement ,
can I use it after July 25?" The answer is , "No, even though the veteran
has remaining entitlement. "
Another question is: "If a veteran is in the middle of a summer term
at school, can he complete it even though it would carry him past July
25?" V.A.'s answer is "No". The government assistance ceases on July
25 and does not make provision for veterans who may be in mid-course.
The other exception is: ( Korea G.I. Bill) Education must be initiated
by Aug. 20, 1954, or three years after discharge or release, whichever
is later. It must be completed by Jan. 31, 1956 or eight years after date
of discharge or end of basic service period, whichever is earlier.

The Old Philosopher

Newman Club

At a recent meeting at St. Columba's Marion Hall, approximately seventy members were initiated
into the BSTC Newman Club. The
marshall oriented the candidates
and presented them for initiation.
The rituals were led by the president , Edward Braynock, with
three lessons read by the treasurer , secretary and vice-president.
The chaplain, Monsignor William
Burke, then led the group in prayer to complete the service.
After the ceremony, a bu siness
meeting was held. Plans were discussed for the Christmas dance,
and chairmen were appointed for
the various committees. It was announced that the delegates to the
Pre Cana Conference held at Harrisburg would speak to the group
at the November meeting. Mr. Rygiel, sponsor , welcomed the group .
After a motion for adj ournment
was passed, Monsignor Burke said
the closing prayer. Refreshments
of cider and donuts were served
afterwards.

KAPPA DELTA PI

Kappa Delta Pi held a special
meeting on October 15 at 4:00 for
the orientation of the new members.
Ed Augustine, president , explained the function of Kappa Delta Pi.
Qualifications for this society
are a 2.5 average for the second
semester of the sophomore year
and an accumulative average of
2.0 for four semesters.
The new members are Edward
Braynock, Bettie Cobley, John
Ford. Mary Galatha , Betta Hoffner, Richard Mease, Nancy Suwalskl, Annette Williams, George
Wynn , James Creasy, and Dale
Springer.

Commander Irving Johnson provided a most interesting program
Monday evening in Carver Auditoriu m with t a les of his t r avels on
the "Y ankee." Because of his expen sive working knowledge of the
Sou th Seas , he proved to be of
great value to the Navy .
The crew of his "Yan kee" consisted of 18 young men and women. Through the descriptive pictures, the audience visited a South
Sea Paradise. On the Galapagos
Isla n ds, fishermen 's dream s were
realized, for men went whaling,
and swimmers captured live sea
turtles by j umping on their backs.
Pitcairn Island represented a
Garden of Eden—noted for its
abundance of fruit. Near Tahiti
the audience became excited by
the setting of cocoanut palms and
hula girls. On remote coral atolls
were children playing in the
water with huge sharks.
The climax in the crews adventure came in New Hebrides. On
Pentecost Island the natives dived
off a tall j ungle-built tower headfirst onto the ground below from
a height of 78 feet . At the last instant they were saved from suiside by long vines attached to
their ankles which tightened with
a snap as their heads struck the?
ground.

Nina Dova Prese nts
Program of Folk
Music for Assembly

Carver Auditorium resounded
with the warm mezzo-soprano
tones of Miss Nina Dova as she
presented a program of folk music
to the assembly. Accompanying
herself on the guitar , Nina Dova
introduced songs of Spanish ,
French, and Italian origin. Miss
Dova's explanations of the music
enlightened the audience while
costume and accessory changes
added color to the musical interpretations. Included in the program were classical Italian pieces,
lusty French folk tunes and haunting Spanish melodies.
In capturing the varying moods
of her selections. Miss Dova drew
on her intensive training in music ,
singing, and dancing. To collect
her repertoire Nina Dova has tra veled extensively in many countries.
Presenting a unique approach
to song recitals, Miss Dova has appeared on the television shows of
Ed Sullivan nnd Arthur Godfrey,
and has given recitals in New

Tomorrow evening the Huskies will be entertained by the Monarchs of Kings College in
Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium; however, we
hope that the Huskies will be doing most of
the entertaining. They did j ust that on their
last appearance in Wilkes-Barre, as you all
may remember two years ago when Jim
Browning and Company ran wild with a 49-0
romp.
The Yohemen will be bounding back after a
stunning defeat at the hands of the Red Raiders of Shipp ensburg last Saturday afternoon.
It was definite in all quarters that the Raiders
were underrated. Not too much was known of
their potential, which the Huskies discovered
last week-end. Shippensburg had been defeated in th eir first contests. Looking back, we
may notice that their first opponents were
Shepard State and East Stroudsburg STC.
Examining the records, we find that Shepard State, West Virginia , was
undefeated last season and has proven to be one of the "powers" in
eastern small colleges.
East Stroudsburg Heading for Crown
Shippensburg 's other worthy opponent was the Red Warriors of East
Stro udsburg STC. East Stroudsburg has emerged from the ranks of the
unknown to the ranks of the mighty in the course of three or four weeks.
By defeating Lock Haven two weeks ago, the Warriors upset the standings and vaulted into first place in the conference. Last Saturday, the
Warriors entertained their Homecoming crowd with a 42-13 victory over
Mansfield. It is certain that if the Warriors are expected to go all the
way they will have to defeat their perennial rivals, th e Golden R ams of
West Chester, tonight. They did j ust that two years ago when they
earned a share of the crown with West Chester and Bloomsburg. The
Warriors from East Stroudsburg have a few other tilts to score before
the final curtain is lowered; but , it appears that the crown will already
be on the heads of the Warriors if they should succeed in stopping West
Chester this evening. Stroudsburg plays seven conference games this
year. Besides their victories over Shippensburg, Millersville, Lock Haven,
and Mansfield , they play West Chester, Cheyney, and Kutztown. It is
definite that this evening's contest will be the most crucial tilt played
in the conference this year.
West Chester Hasn't Given Up
The entertainers, We st Chest er , have not given up hopes for the
crown , however. With an upset over East Stroudsburg, they would be in
the reigning position. East Stroudsburg does not play another serious
contender, but the Rams still have our Huskies on their schedule. The
Rams opened their conference play last week by spoiling winless California 's Homecoming, 26-7. The top-seeded Vuleans have already been
dropped from the conference picture.
Bloomsburg Still Has Hopes
Where does all this leave our Huskies ? The Husky hopes will ride on
the all-important contest in West Chester this evening. If West Chester
should emerge victorious, we still have our hopes!
These hopes and expectations, however, rest in our hands as loyal
Husky supporters. The student body is to be congratulated for their
splendid support at Shippensburg last weekend. Naturally, the Maroon
and Gold band was the strongest support, but the student body backed
the team superbly. Remember our game tomorrow night in WilkesBarre. Let's keep up the fine spirit.

Red Raiders Turn
Back Huskie s in
STC League Opener

On Saturday, O ctober 20, the
Huskies invaded enemy territory
for the first time this season and
were repulsed by the Red Raiders
of Shippensburg. This was the first
of four consecutive games the
Huskies must play away from familiar Mt. Olympus.
The game was played on an even
keel until Bo Rainey broke the
scoring ice in the second quarter
with a field goal from about the
eight. These three points looked
pretty good when the half ended
with Bloom ahead 3-0.
But the Raiders of Shippensburg
broke the game wide open with
three touchdowns in the second
half. The first came on a 38 yd.
run by Jack Conner; the second
was registered on a four yard
plunge by Percy Grimes; the third
and final score came on a one
yard plunge by Conner. To the
crowd of faithful Bloom followers,
it appeared that the Raiders could
do nothing wrong and the Huskies
could do nothing right.
It was a gloomy day all around
but we hope the Huskies will
shake off this defea t and brighten
things a little when they face
Kings tomorrow evening.

Huskies, Kings
Clash Tomorrow
Evening at W-B

When the Huskies meet Kings
College tomorrow evening, at
Wilkes-Barre , they will be facing
one of the strongest Monarch combinations to come out of that
school in some time. Head mentor , Jim Moran, and his assistant,
Bernie Millham, boast a team that
is well fortifi ed with veterans and
also with spirit.
For the second straight year ,
Coach Moran is fielding the same
starting eleven with the exception
of last ye ar 's starting tackle and
ca ptain , Carl Gulbish.
Then tnere's that boy Bernie
Koval! The lean aerial artist
turned in a brilliant performance
in his team's losing effort last year
on Mount Olympus, where the
Huskies won 20-19. Following the
Bloomsburg contest, Koval was inj ured and side-lined for some time.
Three of the four losses the Monarchs suffered occurred at this
time .
As a double threat this year, Koval is heaving his passes from
both the T formation and also
from a spread.
Rounding out the Kings backfield will be last year's leading
ground gainer, Jim Gorman , a 5'7",
155 pound halfback; Bob Trioani ,
a shifty speed merchant at the
other half , and Nick Charnichko
at fullback.
Starting at center will be Ron
Gallagher. Marty Roche and Bob
Mahoney, this year's captain , at
guard ; John Joseph and Cas Ruda
at tackle, and Con Adamchak and
Vince Shemanski at end.
End Vince Shemanski was rated
a picture along with a write-up in
the "Street and Smith's Football
Yearbook for 1956."
The Huskies will have to be
tuned to a high peak to stymie the
keen Koval aerials, and their offense will have to be rolling in
high gear to crack the veteran
Monarch defense.

Veteran Lineman

Huskies—No. 62—Joe Wascavage

Roong o 111, Husky Mascot

Roongo HI , shown above with his handler Charlie Lougnery, who
escorts the dog to home football games, is the mascot of all athletic
teams on BSTC' s campus. He is named after his pre decessors, Roongo I
and Roongo II. The name is derived from the words maroon and gold,
our school colors. The Husk y dog is an unusual mascot, and many students wonder why it was chosen. At the time when the school was picking a mascot , a former professor , now lion-tamer , Geor ge Keller , had a
Husk y pup. The students kept this in mind and after rulin g out other
suggestions, the aniprm -l native to Alaska was elected.

BSTC Defeats
Mansfield , 38-6

Joe , a 6 foot , 210 pound veteran
lineman for the Maroon and Gold
gridmen , will always be remembered for his sparkling interception of a Bernie Koval pass against
Ki ng's in last year's Homecoming
game. Upperclassmen will recall
that the score was 19-13 in favor
of ICing's, midway through the
final period when Joe snared Koval's aerial and raced to paydirt.
That TD, plus Rainey 's placement,
enabled the Yohemen to win , 2019.
Under Coach Elio Ghigiarelli at
Old Forge, Joe learned the grid
fundamentals. He brought that experience to BSTC and since then ,
has added power to the Husky forward wall .
Besides football , Joe enj oys
swimming and likes to participate
in other sports. He is enrolled in
the Secondary Curriculum with a
maj or in social studies and a minor in geography. Joe plans to
teach and coach after graduation.
Congratulations , Joe , and thanks
for your fine service to BSTC.

• This was Bloomsburg's second

games. This tilt was the last home
game for the Huskies this .season,
as they go on the road for the remaining four games.
The Huskies showed true championship form both offensively and
defensively. Packing a powerful
scoring punch and displaying the
staunch defense which held Cortland STC in check, the Huskies
merely overwhelmed the Mountaineers of Mansfield.
A surprising factor in the f,ame
was the strength of the Bloomsburg reserves. Coach Yohe cleaned
the bench , and replacements continued the strong attack against
the Mountaineers. This is the team
that should go all the way to anohei- championship. "

His biggest sports' thrill came
during his freshman year in his

play of that game Chuck took the
ball , side-stepped opposing linemen, and headed for the goal. This
experience, plus Chuck's football
know-how, should prove to be valuable In future games.

Chuck can be seen roaming the

Chuck is pursuing a teaching
career in Elementary Special Education. He also hopes to coach

of luck and offer our thanks to
him.

Hi Happy Vacationers —
How are all the travelers from Suitcase STC. We should have a
Homecoming every weekend—without the alumni! Why ? Because these
weekends are so lonely without you. The lounge looked like Main Street
after the black plague. The little red school house just wasn't the same.
We were happy to see our old buddies at Homecoming—Mary Hoffeeker, Judy Stephens, Rusty Miller, Marty Persing, Arnie Garinger ,
anemic Jim Nicholas (Bob Arbogast's twin ) , to mention a few. An extraspecial guest was big spender, Uncle Burly Grimes, who got free taxi
service in Bill Hess' old Ford.
One grad who didn't quite make it from Germany was that handsome brute—John Panichello. (HA HA John—we know Joe sends you
the paper). He doesn't only send it 'cause we mention his name either.
He's a good boy, doesn't go in the lounge, studies 6 to 9 hours each night,
and never looks at girls. (We hate the thoughts of dying 'cause we know
where we're going!!!)
What brought on the new fad on campus—CHEWING ? If it keeps up,
Beech-Nut will go bankrupt and spittoons will be standard classroom
equipment. Right now the wastebaskets and ashtrays are taking an
awful beating. They smell like a track team—we even saw a fly gag the
other day. A word of warning: When you spit, don't spit against the
winrl H

She was only a bootlegger's daughter but he loved her "St ill" .
We overheard two catty co-eds "discussing" (to put it nicely) a third.
First one admitted, "She does have blue eyes." "Yeh" , said the second,
"if she wore her clothes any tighter she'd have a blue head!"
Massive Bob Zegley and puny Al Hoffman are working out together.
Rumor has it that they are going out for wrestling. Are they competing
for the same weight-class? Wonder who'll make weight—Vice or Versa!
We can 't wait to see Mr. Blair with gray hair.
By the way Mr. Blair congratulations. Now there are four women in
North Wall

We hear Arnie Redbord asked some Shippensburg fan whether he
could sneak in the dining room as a student. The fan turned out to be
the President of the College. Arnie returned to Bloomsburg—his face
very red, and his stomach very empty. ( Nasty break!)
Nobody can call Bloomsburg guys forward. In fact, t hey're backward
(in their schedules). Buzz Hendershot has a Hershey bar with almonds
for breakfast every morning. He's real burned at "Gabby" for eating his
breakfast in the middle of the day. Bob Polar eats hamburgers at 8:00
A.M. (Poor Lu!). That's nothing, though, Bashful Barney, Nine-yard
Natishin, Otchie Rich, and a few other teammates had spaghetti and
meatballs Sunday morning.
Ruth's Lingerie is making use of local talent. Mary Grace, Carol Ely
and Betty Gibson are modeling merchandise in the display window this
weekend (there 's an incentive to stay in town!) Jack Herman and
Bill Pohutsky already have their piece of pavement marked off. This
may prove to be worse than the "Holiday " rush!!
In case you 're wondering about the lounge being open during assembly, you can stop worrying. College Council is working on it. They may
not be speedy, but they 're important! ?
We saw Bob Mescan walking back-campus with one BSTC female
( after hours). We were going to tell him it was illegal, but why ruin
good column material ? (But we wouldn't jap a buddy—or would we?)
Ask Bill Calderwood what it is he likes about long porch—the privacy ? If he won't tell you, ask Al Miles or Jim Snyder. If they won 't , we
will—natch!! There's more than one way to beat the censors.
We better stop before somebody gets annoyed and starts beating us.
If you don 't like u s, don 't beat us , just give us bus fare home.
Bye Now,
