GETTYSBURG, Pa. (I.P.)—A Stu-

dent Committee on Conduct and
Activities has been formed on the
campus of Gettysburg College at
the suggestion of President Willard
S. Paul to handle all discipline cases
involving major violations of school
policy and to discuss current campus problems.
This committee will replace the
Student-Faculty Discipline Committee. The new student body will
handle all cases involving violations
of school policy — drinking, cheating, and immorality — and all cases
involving violations of town, state
or federal laws, which shall be called majo r violations. If an honor
system is instituted, the student
body will choose the method of
hearing cheating cases.
Another Junction of the committee will be to discuss current campus problems and to suggest ideas
for improving Gettysburg College.
This committee shall function on a
trial basis for a period of one semester, after which the student body
would vote on its retention.
Clearly defined cases of minor
violations will be referred to the
chairman of this committee who
will delegate cases to the organization concerned. Cases not clearly
defined will be brought to this committee by the chairman for delegation to the concerned organization.
This committee will follow the
same procedure used by the Student-Faculty Committee on Disciplin e, and will abide by minimum and
maximum penalties set down by the
Faculty Committee on Student
conduct.
Results of cases handled will not
be revealed until the case has been
reviewed and passed. The Dean of
Men or Dean of Women will be
present at all trials to represent
the defendant and will have no vote.
The committee's deliberations on
cheating will be reviewed by President Paul and his faculty advisers.
Action taken on other major violations will be reviewed by the president and the deans.

H OLLIN S, Va. (I.P.)—The maj ority of students at Hollin 's College
feels that social privileges should
be devoiced from academic achievement. They maintain that no extra
privileges should be attached to the
attainment of a 2.3 average. Some
students, however, feel that abolishing the privileges connected with
the Dean 's List would affect the
number of students attaining this
average. The students advocating
the separation of social Privileges
from the Dean 's List would rely on
the maturity of the students and
would give them unlimited overnights instead of awarding unlimited overnights to those with the
2.3 average. This point of view,
which places an emphasis on the
and good judg ment of the
¦ maturity
individual student is consistent
with other recent reforms such as
allowing class cuts.

The Carver Auditorium lights
will be burning nightly for the next
few weeks, signaling rehearsals for
the annual Freshman Talent Show.
The Class of '61 has a lot of good
talent to present in hopes of entertaining our student body. From all
indications the knitting needles will
see little action.
Under the direction of Pat Antonio and Carl Janetha, student advisors , a group of zealous f rosh called script writers are now busy
working on a theme based on a
Paris cafe scene. Everything but
the condiments is being included in
the script. The group mentioned
above includes Peggy Ardoline, Ed

fourth annual Freshman Parents'
Day to be held here on Sunday,
September 29. Total reservations
are expected to be far greater than
the record-breaking group of six
hundred who attended last year.
The meeting of parents, Freshman students, faculty , and administration was started four years ago
in an effort to improve communications and general understandings
among the various groups. Past sessions have met with such an enthusiastic response that the meeting has become a permanent part
of the college calendar.
Invitations have been extended
to parents of Freshman students to
attend the church of their choice in
Bloomsburg on Sunday morning.
The Bloomsburg Ministerium is
planning to give recognition to the
visitors during the services. Freshmen and their parents will be the

Read and Heed the Ups and Downs

"Wet Paint"... Why is it that each time we see a sign bearing these
two words we must try out the object and see if the warning is valid,
usually with the same results ? There have been around us for some
time other signs bearing two words of advice which have also been tried
out with undesirable results. Here our neglect causes all of us discomfort
and delay. The two words on these signs are "Entrance Only," "Exit
Only, " "Up Only, " and "Down Only."
Now that we've all tried entering and leaving buildings through the
wrong doors and going up the down-stairs and down the up-stairs, we
should have our fill of fingers smeared with the paint of loss of time and
patience.

In Science and Navy Halls, systems of going from class to class or
in and out of the buildings have been carefully planned. Let's each do
our j ob, even if it does mean a few extra steps and a little observation,
and obey the signs. They 're there for our convenience. Remember: the
paint under the sign usually Is wet; why continue to smear your fingers ?

This evening at 8:15 P.M.,
Centennial Gymnasium will open
its doors to Bloomsburg students
and faculty members who will be
attending the "All College Reception and Dance." This program
will provide an opportunity for
new students to become acquainted with faculty members and fellow students.
Guests will be introduced by the
Hospitality Committee to a receiving line consisting of Lu Natter,
president of CGA ; President and
Mrs. Harvey Andruss ; Dean and
Mrs. John Hoch; Dr. and Mrs.
Ralph Herre; Mrs. Elizabeth Miller; and Miss Mary McDonald.
Following the reception, music
for dancing will be provided from
8:30-11:30 P.M. by Chet's Quartet, a group from the Sunbury
area.
This evening of fine entertainment has been arranged by Robert
Leiss, Chairman of the dance.
Blanche Rozelle is in charge of refreshments.

This Is Sportsmanship

President, Student Council
State Teachers College
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania
Dea r Sir:
It was a real pleasure for our college to again act as host to your
te am , your band , and the visiting students on the occasion of the football
game last Saturday night. The firs t thing I noticed in the afternoon was
the football players taking a walk following dinner. They were appropriately dressed and seemed to be mature college students. We also
enj oyed the band at the game and the keen school spirit as evidenced
by the students in attendance .
The game itself was one of the best we have had in years. The teams
were so evenly matched that it was only by our good fortune that it did
not end in a tie. Naturally, we were pleased to have been able to defeat
Bloomsburg, but had it ended in a tie or another way, we would not have
felt bad because the sportsmanship, the spirit of the teams, and the
ability to play the game were clearly in evidence on both sides. When
we come to your school next year it is my hope that we can play as well
as this year and that our student body will be as well received in Bloomsburg as yours was here in Lock Haven.
May we wish you and your team much success for the remainder of
the season.
Sincerely yours,
RICHARD T. PARSONS
President (Lock Haven)

A Tribunal for BSTC?

Last Monday evening, College Council considered, among many other

items , a proposed student tribunal plan whereby a group of nine stu-

To be sure, the whole thing began
with the realization that we were
finally here and at last on our own.
With mother 's parting warnings
about smoking and taking vitamins,
we began the seemingly endless
task of unpacking. We all brough t
too much , but then , wha t if it got
cold and we were caught without
our fall wardrobes ?
Registration , a day like all days
except — endless lines, almost
100% humidity, a picky sweater ,
and the rude awakening that you
had five 8 o'clock and five 3 o'clock
classes.
On Friday, freshmen were easy
spot. Blank expressions, that frustrated look , and the asking of ridiculous questions belonged to us on
this day. We carried our tales of
woe about weekend homework assignments to sympatheti c upperclassmen. (Their wait-till-you-see
what's-coming expressions gave
them away.)
Thus began book buying. Forty
dollars clutched in our hot little
hands, we became fiendish book and
dink buyers.
Next we settled down to customs.

the lounge completed the fun picture. Umbrellas, waste cans, laundry bags and balloons are gone, but

mand the freshmen, while remembering how only a short time ago it
was I who wore the BSTC dink.
Although it was fun making
friends during my freshman year,
it is more gratifying to come back
to school and renew these friendoiiit' a.
Sophomore classes are different
from those of my first year. The
rooms and most of the professors
are now qu ite f amili ar, as are the
faces of many returning classmates.
It seems that the college routine
was never interrupted by the summer. But our attitudes were changed by our summer experiences.
The social events of last Thursday night through the week-end renewed old memories. Last year,
spontaneous cheering, pep rallies,
and college football games were
something new and exciting to me,
but ask any sophomore what he
thinks of these events and youl'
find a deeper feeling. For now we
are more a part of Bloomsburg and
one year closer to the alumni.

A JUNIOR

Part of the novelty of college life
has worn off , and you haven 't
found it difficult to get back into
the old routine again. A certain
feeling of success is present when
you hit the "turning point" of your
college career. Now, you 're past the
halfway mark , just one step from
the top ; but it looks as though that
remaining step is going to be a big
one.
In your Junior year, you miss the
familiar faces of the upperclassmen
who have graduated — with their
absence and the presence of the

dents would act as a judicial body, reviewing and passing sentence upon
infringements of rules, poilcies, and ethical standards of BSTC. Since
most of us are unfamiliar with the proposal, we would like to present
it here for your study and consideration. It is not mainly a punitive body,
but would exist for these reasons.
1. It would provide an additional opportunity for participation in
learning and practicing self-government.
2. A student tribunal allows a source of relief to students who have
valid complaints.
3. It assure us that we will be judged by ether students who understand our problems.
Naturally, the tribunal would not be instituted in its entirety at once.
It would grow gradually, beginning a trial run with authority over only
a few of the school problems at first.
Of course, there are many arguments against such a revamping of
school authority . Many, many factors enter into the problem. And, too ,
the constitution of CGA would need to be amended in order to legalize
such a program. A proposed amendment is also presented below.
In our next issue we will attempt to present the pros and cons of the
desirability of such a tribunal. Now we include the complete proposal

your Junior year is a busy one.
There's so much to learn !All in all,
being a Junior is a good feeling —
only now, I'm wondering what it's
like to be a senior.
— by Carol Yost
A SENIOR

Don't look now, but I'm a Senior!
Yes, after three eventful years, I
fin ally made the grade and believe
me, there is nothing quite like it. •
Now I can look back over the past
few years and realize just how
much fun they were. Ah—memories
are so much fonder than the actual
event.
I know some of us will always remember the Freshman Hayride at
Art Lesher's farm , our first dance
"An Evening in Central Park ," and
that wild toboggan ride at Eagles
Mere. Those were the days when we
weren't thinking about where in
the world we'll find a teaching job
or on what to write a lesson plan.
Now as I look around in the
lounge I keep searching for those
old familiar faces of upperclassmen,
and I have to think twice to remember that there are no upperclassmen—I'm at the top now and believe me its a weird feeling. I find
myself trying to pick out this year 's
crop of BMOC's, and surprisingly
enough I can't do it. I guess things
j ust look different when you 're a
Frp shman.

Those days really seem like ancient history now — remember
when the lounge was a big- empty
room with wooden benches down
the sides, the year the post office
and bookstore were in Navy Hall
and the "passion pit", commonly
known today as Firetower A. ? ?
Well , I hope I haven't bored
everyone with my reminiscing, If
you really want to know what it's
like to be a Senior, I can sum it up
in a few w ords , "It' s out of this
world!"

Pros and Cons on Customs

i*-**™*

Joe Thompson, Freshman: "BSTC
is known for its friendliness and
spirit so I think customs play an
important part in the life of the
newly arrived 'Freshmen '.
I believe with all fairness that
customs are necessary and a heck
of a lot of fun. "
Sandra Lynn, Freshman : "I feel
that customs are a necessary part
of getting adjusted to college life.
I made many friends and really
learned my way around campus
during that week. It helped me forget home and get acquainted with
my new envir onm ent , besides being loads of fun. "
Ann Crandall, Freshman : "Customs
are a very important part of college
life , especially to freshmen because
it breaks the ice for them. It helps
them get acquainted with their fellow classmates and also the upperclassmen."
Anne Sprowls, Freshman :"As most
of us were high school seniors last
year we were the 'important people' of our school . Customs should
have taught us that , to be accepted at Bloomsburg, we must adhere
to social codes without considering
them ridiculous or beneath our
former positions in high school. "
When you meet stupidity head
on , there is nothing to say, so you
might as well retreat.

HI-LITES.. In Saturday's Gridiron Clash

by JIM WAGNER

What is more important — playing a game just for the sake of winning or playing a game to the best of your ability whether you win or
not ? Iowa's gridiron coach, Forest Evasheyski, claims that today the
whether it be by fair or
J most important element in football is winning
i foul means. Evashevski states that all the symbolic and intrinsic values
of the game have been removed. Now if the values of the game were
removed , what would motivate players to continue participating in the
great American game of football ? No one on this campus after seeing
our Huskies lose a hard fought game to Lock Haven can take the same
stand as Evashsvski and say that these previously mentioned values of
the game have been removed. Our team spirit and moral support was
overwhelming. These alone, are two of the values of the'game which
can never be removed.
Just what is good sportsmanship? We must admit it is rather hard
to explain. It's one of the symbolic features of sports which has come
down through generations and has been taken for granted by many of
us. It is a combination of qualities and behavior patterns befitting an
athlete. Included in this is the desire to win by abiding within the rules
©f the game while going all out in effort.
A coach is not to be thought of as a builder of men in college, nor
does he teach his players the fundamentals of good sportsmanship. Of
course, he can temper them to a certain degree, but not very much.
It is a few years too late to make any deep personality changes in col-

When Coach Blair's Huskies clash
with the Delaware State eleven on
Saturday, they'll be meeting an experienced team which has been
picked by sport scribes to win the

CIA conference. Delaware has had
impressive records for the last two
seasons. They lost only one game in
1955, a 3-0 defeat to Maryland
State, and last year suffered only

icgc j/iaj rcio.

This column tends to take the viewpoint that sportsmanship is more
important than j ust winning. Of course it is desirable to win and all
coaches , players and fans want to be part of a winning organization. But
all teams no matter how great their potentials seem to be will have to
accept seasons of famine as well as seasons of plenty. It seems as though
we should get more satisfaction out of winning a game fair and*square
than winning a game through dirty and foul play. The real purpose and
value of football or any sport is to give the players the desire to win by
staying within the bounds of good sportsmanship.
However , we cannot overemphasize sportsmanship to a degree that
football stops being a rough game. When football is pinned down too
hard by NCAA rules and other organizations, it becomes comparable
in excitement to girl's hockey and even pinochle. By examining football
across the nation, we can see that not all or even a portion of the natura l
and symbolic values have been removed. It appears that the American
athlete feels better in losing a game without intentionally hurting an
opponent than in winning a game through unsportsmanlike conduct. As
long as the college on the hill remains standing, I am sure that there will
be at least one school in our nation that will place sportsmanship ahead
of winning a game by means of foul play.
Post-Game Comments
Anyone who witnessed the Lock Haven game will have to agree that
the enthusiasm was overwhelming. Never have I seen a group of students so keyed up about a game. Even after the game was over Husky
loyalists did not stop their cheering, in fact they cheered most of the
way home. This was a good exampl e of the traditional Bloomsburg
spiri t.
The fact that Lock Haven 's line greatly out-weighed our own forward
wall was a determining factor in the final score of the game. They were
able to open the holes for their own backs as well as to provide tough
opposition when they were on defense.
One of the brighter spots in the game was our fine passing attack.
Ozzie Snyder and Johnny Oustrich both hit with great accuracy and
mixed their plays so cleverly that they kept the opposition off balance
throughout most of the game. Our ground game should also be given
some praise as Watts and Rohm did a terrific job in moving the ball
every chance they got.

Touch Football,
Tennis, Resumed
In Intramurals

Judging by the vast turnout of
men interested in the men 's intramural program , this year's edition
should provide more than the usual
amount of thrills and spills. Mr.
John R. O'Donnell , associate professor at the Benj amin Franklin
training school and director of the
intramura l program, stated that
two new sports, touch football and

t ennis , which have not been played
here in the past few years, will be
resumed this year.
Six touch football teams, tot a li n g
seventy-five men , will compete in
league play ; tennis singles and
doubles, involving thirty men , w ill
be played on straight elimination
basis.
Mount Olympus will be the scene
of all action with the engagements
starting at 4:15. George Chaump is
student manager in charge of all
equipment and will be able to answer any questions interested persons may have concerning the present program.

The Huskies go into the first huddle of the Lock Haven-Bloomsburg
football fray.

Huskies Fight Back Against
Bald Eagles but Lose, 13-6

Trouble came in all forms Saturday night with fumbles proving
to be the most disastrous in Lock
Haven 's slim victory over the
Bloomsburg gridders. Three fumbles , two at cr uc ial moments , and
six penalties totaling 50 yards,
seemed to be the deciding factors
which caused the Huskies to go
down to defeat in their initial appearance of the '57 season.
Bloomsburg gained 205 y ards
rushing as compared to the Bald
Eagles 178 and gained 98 yards
through the air as- compared to
their opponents nine yards via the
aerial route. However, the Lock
Haven ground attack, spearheaded
by Dintiman, proved to be too much
for the inexperienced Huskies. The
Blair men also had some outstanding backs with Watts and Rohm
turning in some spectacular running and Snyder and Oustrich mixing their plays with brilliance from
the quarterback slot.
From the opening kick-off the
Huskies seemed to be headed for
paydirt as they drove to within the
twenty yard line. This attack was
spearheaded by a 30 yard Oustrich
to Schultz aerial. The drive ended
here when the Huskies fumbled on
the very next play. At this point of
th e game, Lock Haven proved that
they too had a great offense by
driving the length of the field. Dintiman completed this drive by plowing over from four yards out for the
firs t score of the game. Englert
booted the extra point, and the first
quarter ended with Lock Haven out
in front with a seven point lead.
Lock Haven kicked off as the
second quarter started , and the
Huskies began another sustained
drive. Once again the Huskies were
plagued with fumbleitis, and they
lost the ball to the Bald Eagles.
After gaining possession again late
in the quarter , the Huskies tried
the aerial route. This proved to be
in vain as Sealy intercepted an Oustrich pass and returned the ball to
the Bloomsburg 12 before being

stopped by Vaxmonsky. The Husky
line was unable to hold, and a few
plays later Dintiman plunged over
for the second Lock Haven touchdown. Magulick was unable to capitalize on the P.A.T., and the first
half came to an end with the Bald
Eagles on top, 13-0.
The Bald Eagles received the
second half kiek*off and moved the
ball downfield aided by two penalties against the Huskies. The Husky
line finally came to life, and the
Huskies took over on downs. The
Huskies with Snyder at the helm
proved to be a different team. An
18-yard sprint by Watts and some
fine broken field running by Rohm
gave the Huskies the lift they needed. Snyder, running the option play
beautifully and passing with deadly
accuracy, moved the ball to the
three yard line. At this point the
Bald Eagle line dug in and stymied
the Husky drive on the one yard
line. Lock Haven took over and
moved the ball out to the ten yard
line. The Husky line, disappointed
by their failure to score, began hitting so hard that they caused a
Bald Eagle fumble with Schultz recovering to give the Huskies their
only break of the game. On the
next play Snyder pitched out to
Watts who scampered around his
own right end to score. Chaump
f ailed to split the uprights for the
extra point, and the third quarter
ended with the score 13-6 in Lock
Haven's favor.
After Bloomsburg kicked off, the
Husky line showed its true greatness with it vicious play. Leo Mulhall who really played an outstanding game recovered a fumble on the
Lock Haven 40-yard line. With the
goal line in striking distance , Dintiman intercepted a pass and moved
the ball back to mid-field. The
Bloomsburg line held once again
and forced the Bald Eagle's to punt.
The Huskies knew time was running out , and with a staggering display of power broke through with
Covington blocking the kick. Snyder then completed a 14 yard pass
to Goobic for a first down. With less

one setback. This was a 13-0 defeat
at the hands of BSTC on Mt. Olympus in our season opener. Since this
was the only loss in what otherwise
would have been an undefeated season, they will naturally be out for
revenge.
Delaware is stocked with seasoned veterans. There will be only two
regulars missing from their starting line-up with twenty-three lettermen returning.Among these will
be Frank Pahr and Bill Murray who
gave stellar performances here in
last year 's game.
Bloomsburg, on the other hand ,
is virtually a brand new team. The
loss of many key personnel has
been partially off set by promising
underclassmen who have been trying hard to win all starting positions. The Huskies have the potential and the desire to field a winning
team , and what they lack in experience they have in determination...
The newcomers, along with the few
veterans that are returning, shou ld
give a good account of themselves.
With one game under their belts,
the Huskies, now know their weaknesses and should have ironed out
their mistakes. Delaware is still untested t hi s season , which should
prove to be in our favor.
The faculty and the student body
are one hundred percent behind the
team and with the spirit Coach
Blair and his staff have instilled in
the players, all we can say is that
Delaware had better beware once
the opening whistle blows.

J unior Varsity
Footb all Added
To BSTC Sports

Something new has been added
to the college athletic program.
Junior Varsity Football has been
introduced due to the great number of candidates Coach Blair has
witnessed here in previous years at
B.S.T.C. Unable to give all the gridders an opportunity to play, Coach
Walt Blair feels that by establishing a J.V. schedule, he and Assistant Coach Houk will be better able
to determine the potentialities of
their candidates. The Jay Vee team
consists mainly of Freshmen, Sophomores, and transfer students who
are ineligible for varsity play. The
boys will open up their four game
schedule against Stevens Trade
School Friday, September 27, at
Stevens Trade School . Also included on their agenda are Lycoming
and Lock Haven.

than four minutes left to play, a
mix-up in the Husky backfield
caused another fumble , and the
Bald Eagles regained possession.
Lock Haven took over, and two
plays later the final whistle sounded.
The final score was 13-6 as the
fighting Huskies went down to defeat at the hands of a tough Lock
Haven aggregation for the firs t
time in eleven years.

Foreign Student Airs Views

( ACP)—Foreign student Herbert
Morel—Seytoux wrote the following criticism of American and Americans for the Rocky Mountain
Collegian, newspaper at Colorado
A & M College, Fort Collins, Colo.,
where he attends classes.
Hardly was I landed, and maybe
my two feet were not yet on the
American land, than one asked me,
"How do you like it here ?" My first
thought, I must say, was, "What a
silly question!" This experience repeated again and again during my
first week... At that time I understood that the answer was "I like it
very much," and then conversation
goes on about a completely different subj ect.
That must be the first problem of
a student from abroad , I guess, to
find out when conversation is carried on a traditionally polite basis
or a really meaningful one. Most of
us coming here thought the U.S.
was a country without any tradition. To my amazement, I discovered that the social structure of American society was heavily loaded
with conformity.
What is the real meaning of the
so-much used, "Come and see us
sometime?" Should it be translated, "Go, if you want," or "We do
really love to have you come." I
must say since my arrival I have
not found yet which way it should
be understood. Some told me when
people say it they mean it, and
some agreed they had said it already to people they did not at all
enjoy to see. You who have invited
foreign students in that way, don 't
be surprised if they never came and
don't conclude they are'nt interested by your friendly approach.
When Americans ask you , "How
do you like it here ?" is it pure
formalism or are they expecting an
objective and positively critical
lecture on the United States ? Critical—here is the difficulty. Most often people don 't un d erstan d w hy
f orei gn stu d ents seem to express
more cr i t ici sm t h an a dh esion to t h e

Once more we find the Maroon
and Gold Marching Band practicing
daily on Mt. Olympus. The organization has twenty-five new members among a total enrollment of
sixty-five and function smoothly
under the guidance of Mr. Nelson
Miller.
Those who traveled to Lock Haven saw a display of precision marching to novelty music by the band.
With little time in which to practice, the band worked hard and was
able to perform efficiently.
The group plans to make the trip
to Mansfield in October and will
entertain at each of our four home
games. The first time the band will
perform on Mt. Olympus will be at
the Homecoming Game with Shippensburg on October 19. On the
night before the game they will
lead the Homecoming parade and 1
the Pep Rally.
After the football season, the
group shows its versatility by staging a concert in the winter and adding music to our May Day activities.

Tuesday morning, September 24,
BSTC students enjoyed an assembly program presented by two accomplished musicians, Dr. Hummel
Fishburn and Mr. Frank Gullo. Dr.
Fishburn is the head of the Music
Department at Pennsylvania State
University, and Mr. Gulo is his assistant. Both men are well known
in Pennsylvania and have presented
their program of piano stylings and
songs at many institutions throughout the state.
They first appeared on Bloomsburg's campus three years ago.
Bloomsburg students will also remember Dr. Fishburn as the author
of the text, Fundamentals of Music
Appreciation . With more than a
quarter of a century of choral work
added to their experience, they present an audience participation program which is in great demand.
Tuesday's program included a
medley of old favorites such as
"Daisy, Daisy," "East Side, West
Side," and "School Days." Also in- MEAL HOURS ON COMMONS

BSTC sports a unique student
duet this year. The father ancTson
combination of Paul and Ray Burger is evidence for th e trut h of th e
old adage, "It's never to late to get
an education."
Both f ath er and son are in th e
junior class. The senior Burger is
majoring in math and minoring in
physical science while junior is concentrating on social studies and
minoring in mathematics. Ray is
pleased about his father's going to
college with him , but is afraid th at
Dad will outshine him in the academic average department.
Mr. Burger has recently retired
from the U.S. Army. He has served
twenty-two years and has retired
with the rank of Lt. Colonel. His
career in th e service h as taken him
to Japan , Germany, Hawaii, and
Korea. While stationed in Korea he
was awarded the Bronze Star for
service with the Korean Civil Assistance Group. Ray has accompanied his father to most of these duty
stations and has the unusual experience of graduating from high
school in Japan.
Upon graduation, Ray is looking
forward to teaching and his father
plans to attend Bucknell University
to obtain credits toward his masters degree.

A BSTC Landmark No More

Dear Di ar y , I sure did fool everyone—they thought I died. But it
was only that Stiney jilted me that
I felt so bad , and besides that ,
Charlie (my beautiful dog) died. I
thought I'd never recover.
My goo d ness , but it felt so wonder ful being back at good ol' Bloom.
Now I onl y h ave s ix more "y ear s to
ku.

At Bloomsburg, everybodywho is anybody reads the Maroon and Gold.

Hi Ho Hus k er inos ! Once again we come to y ou f rom t h e Hut locate d
in downtown Bloomsburg overlooking the Bloomsburg Fair. It' s that
time again when the carnies drift in from all over the East , the people
o f t he area get rea dy last y ear 's contest w inners , sc h ool s close t h eir
doors, kids go wild, and the college boys hunt for jobs, (while the student teachers loaf except for the unfortunates at Ben Franklin). We
were employed at the Fair this year by two rather dubious gentlemen
name d Doc and Mur ph, ( strictly non-ivy league). After putting in three
hours on Friday afternoon and receiving one lukewarm coca-cola, we
were rat h er dou b t f ul as to w h at a wee k ' s labor might bring ; so on Satur day aroun d noon , Bud went for a drink and Andy had to make a phone
call. We ended up at the Lock Haven game.
There (at Lock Haven ) we had the unpleasant experience of sitting
next to three rowdy rooters of the Bald Eagles who seemed to be suffering from an overdose of the amber fluid, Andy, w ho is an absta iner , was
nearly overcome by the fumes expelled by their boisterious jeering. On
the other hand , Bud did not seem to be affected until the fourth quarter
when he jumped out of the stands and asked student coach Al Francis
for a helmet. Our three friends from the town of Lock Haven (their
names "being Bert , Harr y , and Banana Piel) had bet their week's pay in
favor of Bloomsburg yet cheered vehemently for Lock Haven all night.
You fig ur e t h at one out ! We 're glad we don't drink!!
Walt Hutz and his pep committee deserve a real big hand for organizing the bus trip. The Huskies fought hard in their first encounter and
deserve a continuation of the support exhibited by a peppy crowd at
Lock Haven. Best of luck at Delaware State and Cortland fellas. Let's
have three wins by Homecoming.
Even t h ou gh sc h ool is three weeks old we h ave h ad few encounters
with the very much alive freshmen. We did notice that the famous
w hi stler , Cathy Neos, has been neglecting her studies before the 10 p.m.
curfew. Ann Sprawls, w h o s pent t h e summer at a Bo y Scout cam p, has
continued working on her after hours merit badge. One freshman girl
has already suffered an injury at the hands of the men at BSTC. How
did it happen Judy ? Joyce Morgan , an attractive freshman from Westfield , N ew Jerse y , has increased the voltage in one Norrnan Watts. The
h umerous ant ics o f Beau Hutteman , also f rom t h e gar d en , rem i nd us a
great deal of our former classmate, John Aitken, better k nown to seniors
as Arab. Many of you have heard his smash record "I Need You Now"
an d ho pe t h at Beau does not fo llow Ara b's footsteps.
Since most of the leading magazines are announcing their all-star

Women like men who are pleasant , courteous, and chivalrous, and
consequently take advantage of
them — that is the men.

People who are never puzzled and
have a ready answer, for everything
that comes up may do well for a
while. But when they do pull a boner, it's likely to be what the British
call a smasher.
