EDITORIAL
Most of the members of the College Choraleers, one of the largest
organizations on campus, have been quite concerned lately with the interruption of Monday night Chorus meetings. The administration has
refused to sanction large evening activities other than maj or dances
and sports events on weekdays until the problem of an overcrowded
calendar is settled. Dean Hoch reports that several former College
policies governing the scheduling of calendar events have been overlooked and discarded in recent years. An attempt is now being made
to reinforce these lax policies.
Since Chorus practice on Monday evenings, (although approved by
Dr. North, our former Dean of Instruction) was never within the framework of College policy, it is now prohibited. Chorus might, it was informed, reschedule its meetings to any day between the end of classes
at 4 o'clock and dinner. But no other time convenient to Mr. Miller,
the director, and all the members of the organization has been found,
and Chorus is therefore inactive.
Intram u rals, too, were suspended for the rest of this semester, partly because of insufficient attendance. An attempt is now being made to
reschedule the women's sports activities for next semester, sometime in
the afternoon under the direction of Mrs. Sutliff.
Dean Hoch summarizes the Calendar problem in this way :
1. there are a large number of students on probation.
2. the College Calendar is crowded with social and athletic events.
3. the social Recreation Committee has requested more money in
order to develop still more social events which would further
crowa tne caienaar.
The number one item on this list—the large number of students now
on probation—seems to be, at the present time, one of the maj or concerns of the administration and some faculty of Bloomsburg. Despite
promise of a 50% reduction of the probation list at the end of the semester, the fact remains that over 300 students have betoy a 1.0 average,
the largest number in Bloomsburg history. Even more disturbing is the
realization that the freshman class, reputed as being one of the choicest
groups to enter BSTC, makes up over half the number of failing studdents. As for grade distribution , 18.8% of all letter graces given at the
mid-semester, were either D's, E's, incompletes, or withdrawals, indicating that there is a large number of people in academic difficulty.
It is suspected that part of the trouble lies in too many extra-curricular activities, especially on weekday evenings ; thus, tb ; reason for the
administration's tightening up on college calendar policy.
Probation is a real problem. But we can't help feeling that it is a
problem which won't be solved by eliminating one or two activities on
weekday evenings. A student need not make a choice between recreation and study. If he wants to, he has enough time for both. And recreation oftimes aids study by releasing tensions and nervous fatigue. Some
students with low grades will flunk out regardless of what is done; they
are not college material. But certainly this cannot apply to 300 iiT a
school as small as Bloomsburg. Those that do have the ability and are
not making the grade obviously aren't working, for we think we can
fairly say that relatively little work is required by a person of average
intelligence to make at least a "C" in most courses. Certainly, stopping
a few activities during the evenings isn't going to make these people
work any harder. Many factors contribute to a student's failure ; some
may be emotional problems of the student , others may be deficiencies
within the courses. And, although every school must set up certain regulations, it is a pity that any one of them should be so unyielding as to
be partly responsible for the inactivity of an organization as diligent ,
worthy, and useful os our College Chorus. This is epecially true when
we consider that Wednesday night dances, numerous evening fraternity
meetings, and other activities are allowed to continue.
Although we don't believe that a tightening of the weekday calendar
will help the academic problem very much, ( that problem will probably
straighten itself out gradually) we do feel that , with certain conditions
it could help the students as a whole in forming better study habits. The
new—or rather, renewed—policy of limited activities on school days, if
supplemented with full, busy, enjoy able weekends, might be of value to
everyone. It would be of value by creating a serious atmosphere of study
during the week and by relieving tensions and refreshing minds through
recreation on weekends. Students would be encouraged to work hard
during the week and to play hard on weekends—a much more natural
and profitable system , we think , than the present one of haphazard study
continued through the entire week. And, too, students would more apt
to stay on weekends if those weekends were more eventful.

Students Enroll
In Spring Semester

Although the original enrollment in September, 1956 was 1097,
only 947 BSTC students may register for the 1957 spring semester.
Roughly one-third of this total are
in each curriculum. Various reasons prevent some students from
registration. Strict academic probation this school year has taken
toll of a number of former students. Those who still have library
obligations will not be permitted
to register. Some would-be teachers have not satisfied certain
health recommendations made to
them, The last reason for a few
students not being able to register
has to do with business office obligations which are due.
Over 500 have pre-reglstered on
the 14th, 15th, 16th of this week.
Fifty new faces and spirits will
enter into schoolwork and campus
activity in this, the first semester
of 1957. Those who have not taken
advantage of pre-registration this
week will be required to register
on Monday, January 28.

Students Aid Hun ga rian
Ref ugees
by GLENN REED

In recent months, the plight of the Hungarian people in their struggle
for freedom has become a matter of concern to the whole world. Politically, nations have protested against Russia 's aggressive action, and
the Un ited Na tions' power and influence have been put to the test.
A direct outgrowth of this crisis is the problem of aid for the .ref ugees
who have escaped from Hungary. Immigration laws have been relaxed
to allow a larger number of these people to enter the United States,
Through the mediums of newspaper, radio, and television, appeals have
been made for money. Church groups have sponsored clothing drives,
and committees have been formed for the purpose of finding homes
and j obs for these people.
How does this concern the college student ? Should his interest in the
Hungarian crisis be confined to passive classroom discussion. If not ,
how can he learn more about it and how can he help?
These questions might effectively be answered if we consider the action taken by several colleges in and around Pennsylvania. For example,
Towson State Teachers College in Marylan d recently had as a guest
speaker, I
van Laszlo, a Hungarian student who is presently touring
American Colleges for the purpose of lecturing on political and economic
conditions in his country . Mr. Laszlo presented a first-hand account of
how the courageous Hungarians resisted the Russian army. His intent
was to give the students a better understanding of how and why the
revolt came about.
The administrators of St . Joseph's College in Phil adelphia have organized a Freedom Scholarship Committee which will award five or more
scholarships to refugee students. In harmony with this plan , they have
established a student-faculty committee to help these Freedom students
in solving their personal problems.
The students of St . Joseph's have further aided the Hungarian * Relief
movement by conducting contribution and clothing drives. In addition ,
they have expressed their sympathy for the Hungarian people in a message sent to them over Radio Free Europe.
A group of concerned students at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre
have petitioned their student council to finance a program whereby one
deserving refugee student would be able to attend their college. The
students in turn have sent letters to Senator Walter and Congressman
Flood in Washington seeking advice on this matter.
These colleges are to be commended for their active interest in the
Hungarian crisis, not only as a problem in international politics, but
also as an opportunity to do a humane service for a suppressed people.
Editor 's note:This article might well pose this question. "How willing
would the students at Bloomsburg be to help in this courageous fight
for freedom, and what could they do? " It's something to think about.

The Veep Speak s

b> tu natter

In recent meetings of College Council the
problem of what to do with our "Probies " was
brought up and discussed to a great length.
Probation is something that all shun away
from until it affects us as individuals. To stulents here at BSTC, it means that we have
failed to maintain a .80 average. To the faculty it generally moans that some of us
haven't produced as much as we are capable
of producing. To the administration it means
that steps must be taken to force the students
to pay more attention to their studies and
less to other activities. As a result, rumors
have begun circulating around our college,
Contrary to popular belief you DO NOT need
a 1.3 average to be allowed to go home on
week-ends, the Snack Bar IS NOT closing at
7 in the evenings, and the social activities ARE
NOT going to be eliminated, (this includes
Wed. nigh t dances. ) The fact of the matter is
and
the student committees formed to deal with
that both the faculty
this problem HAVE NOT made their reports as yet.
Now for some more good news : To the warblers here at College—
chorus hasn't been discontinued. It's only a matter of rc-scheduling the
meetings to fit in accordance with the present college policies.
To the Resident men living off campus—check in the Business Office
for laundry privileges.
To the intramural players—intramurals will be coming up in the near
future. For both men and women, again the problem of scheduling has
arisen but will soon be overcome; however lets have some more interested students taking a part , so as to make them a success and not a
failure ,
In closing let me say that if we as mature students learn to budget
our time, wo wouldn't have to worry about probation and the rumors
hat go along with it. Let's hit the books and prove that we CAN and
WILL stay off of probation,

What type of a year was 1956 in sports here
on the local campus ? Were any records
smashed ? Were any big upsets recorded?
Were there any disappointments and heartbreaks? The following are a few of the many
sporti ng highlights that occured here on College Hill during the year of 1956:
1956 was the year that the Husky matmen
turned the tables against th eColonels of
Wilkes College in one of the most controversial sporting events in the history of BSTC.
It was a protested match marred with eligibility rights and disqualification , which ended
in a 16-15 victory for the Huskies, and infli cted the only defeat on the Colonels for the
entire season.
1956 was the year that the Huskies reached
the century mark in basketball by defeating
the West Chester Golden Rams 102-81 in the
season 's fin ale at Centennial.
195b was the year that Jim Garmen, alter an undefeated season in
dual meets, earned second place in the State Teachers College wrestling
finals at Lock Haven , and Harry Hughes, who thrilled the local fans all
year with his fast pins, garnered third place by pinning his opponent in
20 seconds in the consolation bout.
1956 was the year that John Huda opened the baseball record books by
turning in a masterful no-hitter against Kutztown , after striking out the
unbelievable total of 22 batters.
1956 was the year the Husky gridiron crew thrilled the Homecoming
Conference crown for the second straight year, but only after they won
a brilliant 11-0 victory at West Chester, highlighting a most successf ul
sporting campaign over our arch-rivals with victories in basketball, football , and baseball.
1956 was the year that John Huda , on May 26, signed with Corpus
Christie of the Texas League, a farm team of the Milwaukee Braves, to
launch what we hope to be a fine career in baseball.
1956 was th eyear the Husky gridiron crew thrilled the Homecoming
crowd to a pleasing 38-6 victory over Mansfield STC.
1956 was the year that Jim Gustave set a new Husky basketball record
by dunking 37 points at Cheyney, a record which was previously held by
Joe Ondrula .
1956 was the year that the Mauraders of Millersville were finally upended in basketball by West Chester after 42 consecutive wins in conference play. The Huskies fell prey to the Mauraders six times during

college career in basketball this

1956 was the year that disappointment and heartbreak hit the local
campus, after the planning of a great West Chester weekend, the Golden
Rams capured the STC football championship against our local Huskies.
Yes, 1956 had its many thrills and record-breaking actions; but 1957
should prove to be another great year. Already in 1957 the Huskies have
captured a spine-tingling 102-61 victory over Cheyney in basketball, and
in wrestling a 20-8 victory over Shippensburg.

Garmen kept intact his undefeated
dual competition record by decisioning his opponent 8-0.
Only in the 123 and 167 pound
classes were we out-pointed ; the
latter by the small margin of one
point on riding time. The complete
summary is as follows :

Huskies Win Streak
Extended to Three

The Huskies basketball squad
won their third straight game of
the year as they trounced Cheyney
102-61. It was their third victory
of the year against two defeats
and the second win over Cheyney
in this campaign.
From the beginning of the game,
it was apparen t that the Huskies
were going to have a great night
in the scoring column. Led by Jim
Gustave, who couped the team 's
first nine points, the Huskies piled
up 13 straight points before Cheyney finally dropped one in from
the foul line to make it 13-1. The
Husky quintet raised the score to
32-2 bef ore Cheyney hit from the
floor with 8 minutes gone by in the
game. Jim Gustave paced the
Huskies during the first half of
play by notching 20 points and the
Shellymen walked off the floor at
half-time with a 55-21 advantage.
In the second half the sharpshooting of Bill Swisher kept the
score constantly rising as the
Huskies slowly approached the
century mark . Bob Boyle, who

After a successful high school
career, Len came to Bloomsburg
and entered the Secondary curriculum with a major in Social Studies and a minor in Geography. Len
has played ball for the Huskies
during his entire college career.
Len lists as his most momentous occasion his first game as a
freshman, when he played on the
varsity against Wilkes College. Also, when Jim Gustave scored 37
points against Cheyney this year.
To Len, sports—all sports—is his
hobby.
Len has not centered his entire
college life around basketball,
however, for he has been an important mainstay in the present
senior class activities.
After graduation , he plans a
short stay with the Armed Forces,
probably the Air Force, and! then
back to teaching and coaching
high school ball.
He points out Fred Betz, Keith
Weiser, and Jim Gustave as the
finest ball players that he has had
the opportunity to play with.
We wish the best of everything
to Len in the future , for we know
it will be a good one.

This is it—our farewell column. Next semester we are devoting all our
talents to student teaching and extra-curriculars . (Stop clapping! You
may be listed below!)
Among the important people we are about to mention is "Sure-Shot,
Nine-Yard Nattishan " who clobbered some poor little five-year old with
a snow ball. Rosie told him it wasn't very nice, but Jerry pleaded selfdefense. He said the kid fired the first shot and wounded his ankle. Ten
minutes later, Jerry started to limp. (Anything to prove a point.) By the
way—the kid's in the hospital with a fractured skull. Jerry cheated ! He
had a boulder in the snowball! !
Bo Rainey is publishing a brochure called "I learned to Tie a Windsor
Knot—the Hard Way." That's not propaganda either. He does it standing
on one leg. (Ha! Thought we were going to say on his head didn't you?)
Anyway, he uses the other leg as a neck. That's right; then he doesn't
have to us a mirror. Mirrors make every thing backwards, and Bo says
he can't do anything backwards. It work fine except that one end is too
long when he finally slips it off his leg and over his head. He has that
problem licked too; h e j ust cuts the long end off. (When the ties get too
short to tie around his leg, he gives them to Jimmy Gorman. Gorman 's
legs are thinner, but Bo won't admit it.)
Talk about frustrating situations! Ann Tooey and Suzy Woods swiped
Mary Lou Wagner 's big banana—the one she was saving to eat before
going to bed. First they stripped it and ate the fruit—the villians! ! Then
they stuffed it with T. Tissue and taped it shut with scotch tape and
put it back in Mary Lou's room . Passionately hungry, (she missed dinner) she grabbed the banana, peeled it, and found a note saying "Enj oy
yourself ; we did!" That, good readers, was the story of the shortest
friendship in BSTC history.
If you think television in the lounge is good, you should watch the
audience—its much better! Take for instance, the other day when the
Tide advertisement came on the screen. Hank Orbein turned to Joe
Panichello and said "Joey, next to you, I like Tide clean clothes best of
all." Then there's Marlene Kostenbauder shedding crocodile tears over
"Reunion Quiz." Chuck McDonald, Ray Shifflet, and Charlie Gasper
seem to like the programs about cooking. Charlie likes to take home
suggestions to Mary Jane. The others are writing them in a notebook
j lut xuiiut ;naggi ng.

Stosh Elinsky is giving Jonah Goobic competition for the boy with the
most bowed legs. We're sunk if they both play football next year. They're
good on offense; but on defense, they just can't close up the holes.
One of Bobbi Roadside's students asked her if she had ever had a Tom
Collins. She immediately began checking her role books for a student by
that name. The kid was amazed at her ignorance and explained that it
was a drink—alcoholic, no less! !That was quick thinking, Bobbi !
Did you notice the picture on the senior bulletin board- How appropriate can we get ? ? All classes must be alike—even as far back as 1904
they had a Ken Weir to pose, an oldster like Joe Malczyk, a Ron Beers
with a centennial beard, a little one like Kleinshrodt , and a girl like
Graeber to post a think like that. She doesn't want anyone to know who
didit , so please don't be a squealer.
War and Peace made qu it e an impression on everyone, but John Kaplafka got really carried away. He does a terrific take-off on a few of the
scenes. He made his first appearance on the night before Christmas vacation. He toasted Jack Burgraff and gracefully tossed the glass over his
shoulder. Needless to say, it broke ! !
We 're not saying this place could drive you crazy, but why else would
Lynda Firmstone wear two different shoes to dinner ? (Black and brown,
of all things!) The color was bad; what's worse, the heels were different
I* *¦*? fvVi + r.

It's good this is our last column 'cause we ran out of Grille money. We
usually write it here in the Waffle Grille and eat while we write. Ton ight
we had to bring our own sandwiches. It's good Mom carne through with
goodies from home.
To get serious for a minute—or for a couple of lines—we 'd like to say,
"It 's been fun." Thanks for reading our column, for not getting angry
when we japped yol, and for the many comments. If we mentioned your
name, you deserved it. If we didn't—more power to you, you sneak ! ! ! !
See you around the campii and loungii , you scroungii.

Robert Shaw, a successful writer
for radio and television, lectured
in assembly on Tuesday , January
8, on the topic, "The Monster in
Your Living Room ".

Jubilant Husky cheerleaders and fans leap with joy as the Shellymen
hit the century mark in their overwhelming defeat of Cheyney 102-61
last week. Cheerleaders shown are Ann Season, Sandy McBride, Ginny
Hardy, Marjorie Morson, and Annette Williams.
Mr. Shaw 's first radio work in
New York was in the publicity department of the National Broadcasting System. His interest in
radio and writing led him to write
daytime serials for radio. "Front
Page Farrell", his first creation
was an immediate success. Other
programs he wrote include : "Philo
Vance", "The Shadow ", and "Mr.
Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons".
Probably the most successful progr am he wrote for radio was "Mr.
District Attorney ".
With the introduction and growth
of television, Mr. Shaw turned his
talents to this new media. Today
he writes for two very popular
programs, the "Robert Montgomery Hour ", and "Schlitz Playhouse". He also writes the television serial "Valiant Lady ".
Mr. Shaw's lecture dealt mainly
with the problems of the television
industry and the means of solving
them. He pointed out the need for
better planning and more critical
selection of programs. He also
stated the need for more and better trained men and women in all
phases of television. He appealed
to television viewers to send in
new ideas to sponsors and criticisms of programs so that they
may be improved. Mr. Shaw is well
aware of his responsibility to the
public and does his best to provide
good entertainment.
