tion for the first semester of the
1957-58 college year was completed
late last week.
College officials said that advanced registration has passed the
1200 mark, although they declined
to predict a final figure. The previou high of 1078 was recorded during the first semester last year.
Nearly 375 new students, including 340 freshmen, registered Wednesday, September 4, while upperclassmen and former students, returning to college folowing service
in the armed forces, completed
their registration requirements
Thursday, September 5. Classes began at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning.
This year's Freshman Class was
selected from nearly 1000 applicants, each of whom was required
to meet certain academic standards
on the basis of qualifying examination. This examination was used by
the fourteen Pennsylvania State
Teachers Colleges this year for the
first time as one of the requirements for admission.
In view of the critical shortage
of dormitory space on campus, it
has been necessary to house a maj ority of men students in homes in
the town of Bloomsburg. Local
householders have provided space
for nearly 300 men, double the
number who were housed offcampus last year. North Hall provides accommodations for seventyfive men . but Waller Hall is being
used exclusively for women students with 425 women housed
there.

Teachers Colleges

The Dean of Instruction of the
college, Mr. John A. Hoch, has released the following names of students, who have qualified for the
Dean's list for the second semester,
1956-57. These students have a
quality point average of 2.5 or better for the second semester, 195657, and an accumulative average of
at least 2.0 while in attendance at

Customs Committee
And Upperclassmen
Initiate Freshmen

On Monday, September 9th,
BUTTONS FROSH rang across the
campus once again and freshmen
of Bloomsburg State Teachers College embarked on the first important phase of college life—
freshmen customs. Customs, a
great tradition of our college, have
been established to orient these
newcomers to college life and to
the college community.
Throughout Monday mdrning
and afternoon antennaes perched
gaily atop maroon and gold dinks
floated through the air. "Science
Fiction Day" was strictly observed
and as darkness set in a brilliant
bonfire could be seen near the
Benj amin Franklin School playground. Along with the lights of
the fire were the sounds of unaccustomed voices vigorously proving their ability to sing the Alma
ivxaici .

Tuesday had been designated as
"Rain Day", but due to unforeseen
circumstances over which even the
weatherman had no control, this
day was postponedbecause of rain.
Instead, whistles blew, sirens
roared, books dropped, and heads
became metal waste paper cans as
"Civil Defense Day" went into effect. The frosh proved that they
could protect themselves from the
enemy. "Sacrifice Night" was observed on this date with Leo and
Leona, our College Lions, supposedly watching sentimentally as memories of high school days were
thrown into the flames to be burned
forever.
Wednesday was a day for nonsense from dawn till dark. The entire day was dedicated to the "Kiddies" who appeared with bows, pigtails, short skirts, short trousers
and (something special to keep
them happy) balloons. The evening
brought bagsful of goodies and
ertfts.

"Rain Day" was observed on
Thursday with raincoats, umbrellas, extra shoes, and bewildered
frosh drifting about the campus.
The evening hours found them with
no way to turn as the* "Trial" got
under way. It was on this particular night that the upperclassmen
were entertained with stunts performed by freshmen customs violators.
Friday produced cleaning men
and women prepared to brush
clothes and shine shoes at the requ est of upperclassmen. It was a
weary class of frosh who laid their
dinks to rest that night after a long
week of singing, making speeches,
dressing like outer-space creatures,
and entertaining interested upperclassmen. The frosh fell asleep Friday night with a sigh of relief and
the sounds of BUTTONS FROSH
still ringing in their heads.

Don 't Look Now . . . but
It 's Sept ember
Onotha cotton pickin' yeah, as the rebels might say. And most of us
arc either very glad or very sad about it. But perhaps that's better than
being blase and oh-is-it-that-time-again over the whole thing.
By now, things are pretty much back to normal. Poor Henry's preLabor Day Tide-clean Husky Lounge has that lived-in look again.
Another Freshman Class is getting its perccntiles analyzed. Upperclassmen are stuck with last year's first edition texts that they had hopes of
selling until the booklist in their hot little hands listed second editions.
And la,st year's frosh are having the time of their lives leading this
year's frosh around by the buttons on their dinks. The girls still can't
understand why they shouldn't wear Bermudas. And with the economy sized enrollment of new students, affable, balding seniors like us
are finding it difficult to recognize a familiar "face in the crowd."
It's a good time, September. Spirits are high, minds are refreshed ,
nerves are whole again. But it's a challenging time, too. Officers elected
last Spring to campus organizations now face the responsibilities that
go with the now-forgotten honors. We all remember the tussle among
the CGA candidates this past semester. Now let's not forget to insist
on sound and inspired leadership from our officers—the leadership
we would have expected from their competitors had they been elected
instead.
And challenging, too, are the freshmen whom we've all tried so
hard to impress. Within the few days they have been with us, we've
done our best to convince them that Bloomsburg is a-pretty darned
good get-up-and-go-college, and all that. And in their innocense, they
are convinced, Bless 'em. Now we have all year to sustain their confidence in us. For, as Dolores Panzita said in the Olympian, "It's a
serious thing to be disenchanted."
On the whole, it looks like it should be a good year. All the CGA
committees seem to be perking with new ideas and much -welcomed
enthusiasm. The faculty is dotted with new members, bringing with
them fresh personalities and experiences. Various fraternities on campus show signs of waking from a kind of beauty rest. (Who says we
need social fraternities and sororities? The Freshman Rush is on!)
And we can't see any reason why the social calendar shouldn't be
as filled as a debutante's dance program.
And so, for this promising new 1957-'58 College Year we'd like to
recommend a motto (good for a teacher-factory) suggested by one of
our favorite professors—Pure Living and High Thinking. Or viceversa, and someone said.
Win you forgive our lack of punch in this first issue? The warm ,
lazy summer days have mellowed us. But , conies the nippy tingle of
autumn winds . . .

Incr eased Student Enrollment Pro gram Warrants
The Addition of Eight Me mbers to BSTC Facult y
Over the summer months many
new faculty members have been
added at Bloomsburg State Teacher's College. Partially responsible
for this increase has been the increased student enrollment to the
college. Elementary, secondary and
business curricula have all received
new representatives.
The new faculty member who is
probably most familiar to the student body is Mr. Russell A. Houk,
Assistant Dean of Men, and Assistant football coach. Mr. Houk was
introduced to the student body in
the last spring issue of the Maroon
and Gold.
In the business field we have Mr.
Edward Van Norman, Assistant
Professor of Education. He has
taught in the State College high
school for the past five years. After
Mr. Van Norman received his Bachelor of Science degree in Education
from the Pennsylvania State University, he worked in the Visual
Products Division of the Radio
Corporation of America. Here he
observed the practical applications
used by industry in the field of sensory learning. He later earned his
Master of Education degree and has
continued his graduate work largely in the field of audio-visual education. He assumes the duties of Director of Audio-Visual Education
here at Bloomsburg.
Another newcomer to the Business Department is Francis J. Radice. Mr. Radice, however, is only
a newcomer to the faculty, having
pursued the business course here at
BSTC prior to receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Education
from Bloomsburg. A former member of Williamsport High School
faculty, he has been appointed Assistant Professor of Business Education. Mr. Radice received his
Master of Education degree in Business Education and School Administration from Pennsylvania State
University and is qualified as a secondary school principal and as a
supervising principal.
Stepping into the Elementary
Department is Associate Professoi
of Education, Dr. Gilbert R. W.
Selders. Dr. Selders was previously
a member of Pennsylvania State
University faculty, directing a program in reading speed and comprehension on Penn State campus on a
wide scale. He received his Bachelor of Arts, Master of Education,
and Doctor of Education degrees
from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Selders has also taught

courses in elementary education
and extension courses for teachers*
in-service. He has been a member of
Phi Delta Kappa, national professional education fraternity, for the
past eight years.
Added to the faculty of the Secondary Education Departments is
Mrs. Grace Clinton Smith as Temporary Instructor of English . She received her Bachelor of Science degree from Carnegie Institute of
Technology, and later served as circulation assistant in the. Carnegie
Tech library where she taught
Freshman classes in Library Science. Prior to her appointment at
Bloomsburg, she had been teaching
in the city schools of San Diego,
California. Mrs. Smith will serve as
advisor to both the College Players
and the Alpha Omicron chapter if
Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatics fraternity.
Another new face is that of Mr.
Donald D. Rabb, Assistant Professor of Survey Science. Mr. Rabb is
a graduate of Bloomsburg State
Teachers College with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Education, and
has completed requirements for
Master of Science degree in*Education at Bucknell University. He has
since done graduate work towards
a Doctor of Education degree.
While a student at Bloomsburg, he
maj ored in science and mathematics and was a member of the soccer, baseball, football, and track
teams.
Also teaching in the secondary
department is Henry R. George, Assistant Professor of Social Sciences.
Mr. George, a veteran of World
War II received his Bachelor of
Arts degree from the University of
Pittsburgh. After a year of graduate work there he accepted a position with the United States Steel
company and later worked for the
Saudi Arabian government at Jeddah. In 1956 he was awarded the
Master of Letters degree by the
University of Pittsburgh. In addition to extensive traveling in the
United States, Canada, Europe,
Africa, and the Arctic, Mr. George
has had lecturing appearances before social , religious, civic, education and business groups.
The women on campus were probably most interested in the appointment of Miss Eleanor Wray as
Assistant Professor of Physical Education. Miss Wray, a graduate of
Lake Erie College, was awarded
her Master of Science degree in
Education at Pennsylvania State

University, and has complet ed a
major portion of work leading to
the Doctor ;of Education degree
with major areas in Health and
Physical Education. She has served
as club director with the U.S. Army
Special Servic es. During the sum-

mer Miss Wray has acted as waterfront director in summer camps, as
head counsellor, planning and administering the camping program,
and supervising camp counsellors.

FOOTBALL
Now that September is here and the football bug has bitten all of us;
we find our new head coach, Walter Blair and his assistant Russell Houk
constantly drilling the raw and inexperienced Husky squad. Coach
Blair indicates that this year's team is the most inexperienced squad
ever to dig up the turf on Mt. Olympus since the end of World War II.
The loss of 24 members from last year's star-studded array and the
return of only 14 lettermen indicates that the lask of seasoned veterans
is the chief problem for the rookie mentors.
On Saturday, September 14, Coach Blair ' will have an opportunity
to feel out the potentialities regarding his gridiron squad when the
Huskies travel to Lycoming College for a pre-season scrimmage. In the
next two weeks Coach Blair will have to make important decisions in
selecting his starting eleven before the Huskies open with the strong
Bald Eagles from Lock Haven State Teachers College on Saturday,
September 21, at Lock Haven.
Coach Blair's line has suffered greatly through graduation, injuries,
and dropouts. Only two hardened vets return to the line with Frank
Prusch filling the one guard slot while there looms the possibility of
Chick DeTTebo being shifted from tackle to center. The remaining line
i and Houk, with student assista nt! Al Francis and
posts are to be vied for by letterman Tom Vaxmonsky, less experienced

rtoo

The moving of DeFebo to center was necessitated by the inj ury of
Woo'dy Rhoads, who was one of last year's outstanding center. Woody
was injured this summer while working in a foundry and will be out
for the entire season. To make matters worse for Coach Blair, Bernie
Zaborowski has reinjured his knee and it is doubtful whether Bernie will
see action this season. George Chaump is also on the injured list but
is expected to return to the active list around the fourteenth.
Eddie Watts, a fast, hard-running, experienced halfback and Johnny
Oustrick, our crafty quarterback will form the nucleus in the backfield.
Gerry Wood, who tor the past three seasons played in the shadow of a
former great, Joe Malczyk will be contending for a backfield position
along with Bike Bottorf, Carl Sweet, Jonah Goobic and Bobby Rohm.
Also, Freshman, Johnny Johnson can be expected to add additional speed
to the Husky backfield.
Two let termen, Morrie Schultz and Stan Covington return to the end
position. Despite the fact that neither of them broke the starting lineup
last year both showed a great deal of promise. In the phase of the line,
Coach Blair finds another problem in finding sufficient reserve power in
back of ' Schultz and Covington. Eddie Galitsky is one of the key contenders for that spot.
The Huskies play an eight game schedule and hope to better last season's record of 3 wins and 4 losses, which incidentally marked the first
losing season for the Huskies in a decade.
BASEBALL
Paul Wagner has resigned as head baseball coach of the BSTC Huskies. He has given way to Dean of Men, Walter Blair.
During the past two seasons "Doc" Wagner has piloted the Husky
diamondmen to an overall record of 15 wins and 8 losses. In 1956 "Doc"
Wagner engineered the Huskies to the State Teachers College Conference Championship with an 8 and 2 slate. Last season our Huskies came
up with another winning record of 7-6 which was good for a fourth place
in the conference.

raised to $6000, and the minimum annual increments have been

Associate professorshipminimum
annual salary has been increased
from $5000 to $5500 with minimum
annual increments increased from
$200 to $250 and the minimum number of increments decreased from

Superintendent of Public Instruction.
DAIRIES

The appointment of Mrs. Althea
S. Hoke as Hostess at the college
was approved recently by the
Board of Trustees. Mrs. Hoke's appointment is designed to meet the
need for supervision resulting from
the increased number of women
students living in the Waller Hall
dormitory.

A resident of Meadville, Pennsylvania for many years, Mrs. Hoke is
the widow of Dr. Samuel Hoke,
who, until his death, was medical
director of Allegheny College for
fifteen years.
Mrs. Hoke, the mother of two
children and a graduate of the
Housemother's Training School at
Purdue University, now resides in
the Waller Hall Dormitory in the
apartment used previously by Dean
Yohe and his familv.

by BUD and ANDY

This column is under new management, and is coming to you from
"The Hut" overlooking the Bloomsburg-Catawissa Bridge in downtown
Bloomsburg. At present, the former author, Ken Weir, is digging foxholes in Fort Gordon, Georgia—another sterling example of what a
college degree can do for you.
We have just consumed the results of our first culinary experiment
and though some may have their doubts, it was an excellent meal consisting of spicy meatloaf , heavily buttered baked potatoes, golden corn,
and garend fresh tomatoes. All this was washed down with iced tea?
For dessert our mouths watered over deep dish peach pie. We defy the
"College Commons" to match it. "Hence" to quote a noted historian, any
females interested in the preparation of epicurean delights should call
ST. 4-1057.
Since nearly all the men have been exiled from the campus and are
busy with housekeeping chores, our visits to the Husky Lounge will be
fewer than last year when we were rooming in Waller Hall. (Girls in
# 473, could we have our room back?) We have been able to get up to
the lounge once or twice, however, and as usual the freshman girls look

mut.

Once again the sound of "Hi Kids ! How was your summer?" is being
echoed all over the "Pill on the Hill." No one has bothered to hike down
here to "The Hut" to find out what we did so we'll tell you anyway. Bud
was a doorman at the largest outhouse in the world and Andy was the
head hopper cleaner.
How was your summer? Some of you really had a good time. Jim
Snyder played with the girls on the golf course; Nancy Herman patroled
the Ocean City Beach Patrol; and .Chad Wetzel helped drowning girls
at a New York swimming pool. The Bobbsy Twins, Jim Vowler and Bike
Bottorf , enjoyed a restful summer at the famous resort in the mountains
of Pennsylvania, namely Bloomsburg Summer School. Bob Boyle bought
shares of stock in Scranton City Hall by receiving many traffic tickets
while driving a Coca Cola truck. Phil Mosier and John Valenia haven't
made it back from the Poconos where they were tending bar. Jack Herman slaved in the steel mills earning enough money to pay for Carol's
ring. (Congratulations). Miss Mettler spent her summer nursing Joe
Butz back to health. He suffered severe shock when he found out his
apartment would cost him $100 a month. Frank Suntheimer lifted
weights all summer so that he could live with the athletes of North Hall.
(Seriously Frank, good luck in your pigskin endeavors). Lois Carpenter
spent her summer at Asbury Park eating pie ala mode and drinking
milkshakes. Larry Schell who was married in June, spent the summer
witVi Viic iXTifo

From. Wildwood we switch to Atlantic City where Lu Natter cleaned
fish at Hackney's; Peggy Lynch spilled prune juice at Child's; and
Carol Yost spent the night in jail. We hope everyone had an equally
pleasant summer.
By the time this issue comes off the press the freshmen will have
experienced their first week of customs. It seems just a short while ago
that we were obeying the command of "Buttons Frosh", Now these
things are in the past and student teaching is our prime concern. Though
we're not exactly old and decrepit, we feel that we have experienced
enough to pass down a word of advice to the freshmen; the more you
participate in customs the more enjoyment you will receive.
The 1957 edition of the Bloomsburg Huskies, coached by Blair and
Houk, promise to offer plenty of excitement when they open the new
season at Lock Haven on September 21. Let's support our Huskies as
much as possible and good luck to the Blairmen throughout the season.
See ya around campus!

the teacher training institutions of

Although grandiose plans for future expansion have been drawn,
the target dates for completions
have not been set.
The present Legislature is in the
process of considering Bills to
make General State Authority
money available for new buildings.
However, the general question is—
Does Pennsylvania wants its State
Teachers Colleges to produce more
teachers for its public schools ? If
so, the answer is obvious; more
money will have to be appropriated.
