Many Alumni Attend
Homecoming Activities

Campus Organizations

DRAMATIC CLUB PREPARES
FOR MAJOR PRODUCTION
The sejBond meeting of Bloomsburg Players was held in Carver
Hall on October 1. The main event
was the initiation of the new members. At the present time, the club
has about 85 members which will
aid in the search for talent for the
maj or production.
The club has a new advisor, Mrs.
Smith, who is already discussing
plans for the major production
which takes place every year.
The members have planned 'shop'
plays for the semester, and the club
should provide interesting activities
in this line.
ATHENAEUM CLUB PREPARES

Today, many alumni and friends of the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College have returned to the campus to enjoy the festivities of the
Thirtieth Annua: Homecoming.
Alumni have returned to the campus in increasing numbers during
the past decade. The large crowd attending this year's event, will see
a considerable number of changes and , in some cases, a preview of
changes to come.

Masquerade is
Planned , Oct- 30

FOR HOMECOMING

The Athenaeum Club held its
secend meeting of the year on October 2, in Science Hall. Plans for
the 1957-58 term were initiated.
President Jane Martini is enthusiastically planning a field trip,
which the club will go on later in
the semester. Plans were discussed
concerning the club float , which
will be entered in the Homecoming
Day'Parade. The Club is endeavoring to present something different
in a float — something interesting
and new.
SCA PLANS

RELIGION-IN-LIFE-WEEK
The second meeting of the Student Christian Association was
held Wednesday, October 2, in Science Hall. A worship service preceded the meeting.
Donald Nice, Chairman of Religion-in-Life Week, announced that
the theme will be "To Listen, to
serve, and to learn." Committees
are being formed to promote this
year 's event. There will be three
speakers as representatives of the
Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant
denominations.
The members have been divided
into four commissions: Social Responsibility, Christian Heritage,
Personal and Campus Affairs, and
World Relatedness, a plan which
was suggested by the national organizations.
NEWMAN CLUB INITIATES
NEW MEMBERS

On October 9, a meeting of the
Newman Club was held in St. Columba's Hall. Msgr. Burke addressed the group, which was followed
by the formal initiation of new
members. The initiation consisted
of promises made by the students
and an explanation of how the club
was formed.
Mr . Walter Rygiel spoke to the
group on character and personality.
It was then decided that the club
should have a record dance In St.
Columba's Hall in the near future.
The meeting was then adj ourned
and the students present enjoyed
cider and doughnuts.

Welcome to the Thirtieth Annual Homecoming :
You will find many changes in your Alma Mater. Some will
be evident as you wander about the campus or through the
corridors of Carver and Waller Halls. Certainly you will want
to have lunch in the new College Commons.
Two new buildings are in the advanced planning stage — one
a dormitory to accommodate 200 men — the other a classroom
building to contain six Science Laboratories and eight Business
Education Classrooms.
However, we realize that people are more important than
plant, and we hope that your Homecoming stay on campus will
give you an opportunity to meet many of your former classmates
as well as members of the present College Community, and
among them
^^ ^So ^^ J^^t^t^^^ s^rf^-President.

Chicago, 111. (I.P.) — A group of
Illinois Institute of Technology students spent an average of 25.9
hours per week in study during one
week of the 1956-1957 academic
year, according to a survey on the
use of student time. The amount of
time spent in study during the week
varied greatly among the students.
The largest number of study hours
was 57 and the least number was
5V2 hours. The distribution of study
time among all the students in the
survey group was as follows: more
than 45 hours per week was 3%, between 35 and 44 hours was 17%,
between 25 and 34 hours was 28%,
between 15 hours and 24 hours was
35%, less than 15 hours per week
was 17%. In general, it appeared
that there was little relationship
between grades and amount of
studying time. It also appeared that
there was little relation between
place in school and amount of study
time. Freshmen spent the least
time in study, and sophomores
spent the most time,

The newly constructed tunnel between the Waller Hall Lobby and
the new dining room lobby is nearing completion. The official opening
of the passageway, however, is not known ; but according to Mrs. Miller,
Dean of Women, it will not be opened for about a month.
This late opening is due primarily to the electric wires hanging from
the ceiling. These wires must be properly taken care of before the ceil? * *

According to Dean Stewart, the

normally in math, and biology and
develop greater capacity for selfdirected study if they work independently for one-third of the college year.
The experiment will have two experimental and two control sections in math., with two instructors
each teaching an experimental and
a control section. In biology the experimental group will contain 30
students, all of whom will be members of the mathematics group.
The experimental groups will
have class Instruction for twothirds of the year, and will study
independently for one-third of the
year.

Band Conc ert

A powerful squad of Red Raiders from Shippensburg STC will
take to the gridiron at 2:00 p.m.
today to meet the Huskies after a
five year absence from Mt. Olympus. The Raiders dumped the
Huskies in a Homecoming Day
game at Shippensburg last year,
and Coach Blair's gridders are
anxious to avenge the defeat. The
Shippensburg Band will present
part of the 20 minute program
during the halftime period, and
members of Phi Sigma Pi have arranged a coronation ceremony for
the Homecoming Queen. Following the game, refreshments will be
served at an informal get-together
in Waller Hall Lobby and Corridor.
Dance to Climax Day's Events

Gerry Kehler's Orchestra will
provide music this evening at 8:30

held in Centennial Gymnasium.

No Open House

By Tuesday noon, October 15,'
over eighty women of Waller
Hall had already been sent home
with what has been termed an
"airborne virus". As a result, the
annual room-judging in the girls'
dormitory which was to be held
Thursday was cancelled. Today's
open house, a traditional highlight of Homecoming activities,
has therefore been cancelled
also.

Tell It To The Marines
Have you a problem concerning campus activities? Do you tell it
to your roommate or take it to the lounge? You mi ght as well tell it
to the Marines!
Some students don't seem to recognize the futility of discussing
campus problems with persons who are in no position to do anything
about them. The pulse of the campus cannot be felt by any few
individuals. It is very foolish to defeat the purpose of CGA officers
and representatives — they are the representatives of the student body.
And if that student body chooses to keep from these people the matters
it takes issue with , then there is no justification for democratic representation.
Your class representatives , class president , and CGA officers arc your
voices. If you give no thought to your voice, it has no function — it
is useless! .. . Don't allow your representatives to sit in Council without knowing your convictions. They are your means to voicing an
opinion. Use them!
And , too, some are of the erroneous opinions that their elected representatives are powerless in student government unless they are constantly usurping power from the administration. Give your representatives reason for being in Council by voicing your opinions to them
and by standing behind them, ready to defend those convictions. CGA
members have more to do than be mute fixtures standing in for student
apathy !
If those problems of your were removed from over a luke-warm
coke to inside a red-hot Council meeting, something just might be
done about them. You might give it a try !

I Among the Dying
The Ma roon and Gold staff extends a somewhat feverish
welcome to Alumni , Friends, and Relatives on this, our
Thirtieth Annual Homecoming. We're sorry we couldn 't
give you an honest-to-goodncss bang-up howdy-do and all
tha t, but even hard y souls like us who have printers ink
vaccines regularl y administered must bend a little under
the fury of the virus scourge.
The entire college , we're sure, would like to be on hand
to help you enjoy your visit here as much as possible, but
(Alas!) the law of the Survival of the Fittest seems to have
taken over. And it 's beginning to look like not even the
fittest are very fi t.
It's really a pity that this old bug couldn 't wait until
Homecoming was over. Poor Bloom had such grand plans
and enthusiasm for this weekend! And then , who were hit
the hardest — football p layers, float committee chairmen ,
band members, cheerleaders . . . newspaper editors!

Oh , Woe!
We must confess that we almost didn 't have an issue this
week, due to the heavy Maroon and Gold casualty list. But
Whitey Farrow decided we'd better publish what wo could
so that the Alumni would be provided with at least the
correct date for today.
We're just joshin. We don't feel bad at all. Wh y, wh en
we see all your smiling, fresh , picture-of health faces er —

Dear Diary
I'm so excited that it's Home-

coming! I j ust love to see all the
kids again. I do miss them this year.
I got so carried away, I even wrote
a poem! It's entitled "A Short Ode
to Returning Alumnae: '
The old place seems the same
again
You're back, it' s tho ' you 've
never been.
Your former students j ust can't
see
How we miss yo u and want
you to be
Here with u s, mid smiles and
. tears,
And down at Hess's drinking
beers.
Of cou r se I'm just kidding—about
Hess's anyways. It really is neat to
see everyone.
There 's some happy little critter
running around greeting everyone
with "How are ya fixed for germs ?"
Sadist! It's really a shame about
that old bug that's been running
around. My cousin wrote and said
her f avorite Japanese servant left.
She told her husband and he said,
"Well my dear, since you have such
a contagious cold, your Asiatic
flew. " He's a terrible bird for punning. Of course, I'm j ust j ealous.
I think that Don Coffman should
receive one huge orchid for standing up in open C.G.A. meeting last
Thursday. I wonder how come no
one ever seems to say anything
when they have an opportunity.
These people that congregate in
their own little groups to complain
about the way the school is being
run make me ill! If they don 't like
the way "a few people" run this
school, why don 't they do something about it? Oh well — maybe
they j ust aren't mature enough to
realize they could voice an opinion
once in a while when it would do
some good.
I wonder what Phisig Mapi
means. I don't think that so many
frosh could have the same name;
and I'd sure like to see the gal that
kisses them on the forehead. She
sure must have had shaped lips to
leave a mark like she does! Or am
I being dense again ?
Poor Jack Stinson — he's almost
dying of the flu and he thinks all
these miserable little flies are the
cause. That's why you see him dashing madly around trying to kill
them. He even had special shoes
made so he can creep up behind
them on the ceiling.

Well, football season is almost
over; the leaves are beginning to
fall and the old Grads are coming
home.
Ah Homecoming! Remember ye
good olde days when we came to
the Normal ( ?) School in our surreys with the fringes on top. (No
trouble with windshield wipers
then). Our problem wasn't parking
space either although we did have
some trouble with the two-hour
hitching post.
Another problem we didn 't have
to contend with was the filing of
license numbers. Course, filing the
brands was j ust as bad , I guess,
cause there was always someone
trying to burn them off with a curling iron.
Enough of the mellow past and
now to the vivid present.
Speaking of harrowing experiences, if we weren't we are now !
Have you ever driven on the cow
path behind the laundry ? We have !
It all started over our neat little
monogrammed parking place behind North Hall. Last Thursday we
had an audience with Dean Blair
and received a parking violation.
Nothing harrowing about that, just
file it under V and repent, So we
repented and went to move the car.
As we came out Agony Alley by the
dining room, what to our wondering eyes should appear but a furniture truck in parking gear. The
driver told us he would be blocking
the exit for two hours and that we
could drive out by the laundry. Unsuspecting fools that we are, we
tried it. Before we knew it we were
wedged between a mighty oak and
the 50 foot cliff overlooking Lightstreet Road. Since we've n ever

A college fashion ? Certainly, a raccoon coat that has been with us
sin ce the 1900' s is! But it takes coeds like our Barby Hockenberry to
dig it up from the bottom of an old attic trunk and bring it back into
style. To Barby, this very gentle raccoon, as she calls it, has become her
pet. She even named him Herman. Barby considers herself a pretty
lucky girl because Herman doesn 't even have one little moth hole. She
surely won't freeze as long as she has Herman 's long shiny fur to keep
her warm during those chilly football games. Lord and Taylor of New
York has advertised 300 of the most moth-eaten-but distinguished raccoon coats as items in magnificent disrepair. Responding to the call, the
coeds of the nation set the fashion world on a quest for raccoon, which
has resulted in the raccoon accent from head to foot this fall.
BSTC doesn't have a monopoly on that little animal's fur. Following
is a "Rah-Rah Raccoon article from The Crestiad, Cedar Crest College,
Allentown.

What Is a Racoon Coat?
"Out of the moth balls in mother's trunk comes the current campus
craze — the raccoon coat.
Raccoon coats come in all sizes, shapes, and colors, with a darling
little tear here and there, in a state of magnificent disrepair!
Raccoon coats can be found everywhere — in closets, attics, blanket
boxes, cedar chests, Lord & Tayl or 's, Macy 's and Hess Brothers.
It is snobby seediness with a 1927 Yale-Harvard football ticket in the
pocket. It is dignity with an over-sized collar and it's all yours for
$22.09 and up.
Mothers despise them , f athers won 't pay for them, younger brothers
and sisters mock them and college girls purr over them.
Frantic furriers are again stocking coonskins for the fashion conscious. The revival has forced the design and manufacture of the contemporary raccoon coat that can be purchased for a mere $200, plus tax.
These shaggy shades of the 1920's will make their first appearances
on small girl's college campuses, then debut in the coed university
environs and finally arrive at inter-school activities — especially at
fall grid clashes.
The more, courageous student will wear the coat every day everywhere. But the most valuable asset of the furry monstrosity is the
great warming effect. In this capacity it will be seen most often on
its way to an 8 a.m. class.
Undoubtedly these beat-up old relics of the Charleston era will be
scorned by some — a prof may lock them out of class but you can't
lock them out of your wardrobe.
—" '

learned to drive in reverse very
well, the on ly alternative was full
speed ahead. When we finally
emerged at Navy Hall we stopped
and paid homage to Serbalke, the
Greek God of Commuters.
Did you know the commuters
from Shamokin came to school in
relays? Last week the car they
started out in got a flat tire so
some other kind soul picked them
up. They ran out of gas. (Told you
we commuters have fun) .
Last but not least , they went to
a neighboring farmhouse and the
grabious owner took them to school.
(Half the fun is getting there ? ?)
Have you noticed the two-tone
blue and white Ford from "up the
river" ? The left side, blue — courtesy oi a passing truck and a nearsighted driver. (Cheer up kids it's
all part of your education.)
Bet that nasty man (course it was
a man) who parked in front of us is
sorry. We didn 't reoprt that your
two-tone green Chevrolet (1956),
license number AB1 32, didn 't have
a permit on, but if you do that
again we are going to have to make
it known to our friend Dean Blair.
Well, guess we'll sign off and
start digging for our raccoon coats,
They 're In style again you know.

Husky Gridders Festive Spirit

Now that the World Series is over and the Milwaukee fans are still[
sobering up, we can see the Yankee lovers slowly creeping out of their.i
holes after a week of lon g suffering. Across the nation the talk is and
will be for the next few weeks, "Did the series go the way you wanted1it to?"
Here at Bloomsburg we have our own talking to do. Jubilant busloads of students were the first to announce the impressive Husky victory over Mansfield STC last Saturday. Although it was our first victory '
in four attempts, it is a start. We have four games remaining to be
played at home, and should we win the three conference games, we>
could become the conference champs . The victory path will be rough,.
but with the initial victory under our belts, it may prove to be the shot-•
in-the-arm that would send our die-hard Huskies off and running tc1
successive victories.
Today is Homecoming and we play host to the Red Raiders from {[
S'hippensburg STC. It is our first home game of the season and with
this in mind, any BSTC student who has just a trace of what we term
as college spirit should feel obligated to stay here for this week-end.
Today many of you will see the Husky squad in action for the first time.
Even though our record is not too impressive , the Husky gridders are
a sigh t to behold, whether they win, lose, or draw.
Coaches Blair and Houk and the rest of the coaching staff have endeavored and succeeded in putting a team on the turf to represent you,
the students of BSTC. Let's all plan to actively participate in the gala
aff air, Homecoming. If we do this, I can say that after the game the
Red Raiders will know that they played a student body of a college
and not j ust eleven men in uniforms. So come on you Huskies, grit you r
teeth, and mosey on up to Mt. Olympus today at 2 P.M.
STC CHATTER

Whether or not the two cancellations for the weekend of October 5
in conference play will hinder the chances of Lock Haven STC and
Edinboro STC to win the State Teachers Colleges football championship
depends upon the outcome of the games played throughout the season.
Lock Haven cancelled its game with California, and Edinboro was asked
to cancel its game with Indiana STC due to an outbreak of the flu. Both
Lock Haven and Edinboro play enough games, (minimu m of four STC
opponents) and could have used these games to an advantage under
th e conference's Saylor-system of ratings. Last week's results in conference play are: Slippery Rock 7, Indiana 0; Shippensburg 20, California 13; Lock Haven 16, East Stroudsburg 6; Millersville 45, Cheyney 7.
QUICK PICK-UPS
In its weekly Pennsylvania college football roundup story, The Associated Press this week rates West Chester as tho state's top small
college team. The Rams remained undefeated in three games by a surprising romp over New Haven State Teachers College by a 47-7 margin.
Using the method of comparative figures (which don't mean a thing at
game time, ) West Chester is 40 points better than Shippensburg as
the latter was held to a 6-6 deadlock by New Haven. Again using comparison, Shippensb urg STC is 21 points better than Edinboro. Shippensburg def eated Shepherd , 27-7, while Edinboro lost a close one to Shepherd, 7-6.

As the biggest weekend of the
college year is approaching, the
students have been captivated with
the idea of making this the best
Homecoming Bloomsburg has ever
seen. Parents and returning alumni, when they arrive for the festivities today, will witness the spirit
and loyalty that is the tradition of
Bloomsburg.
The football squad , with Coach
Blair at the helm , notched their
firs t victory of the season at Mansfield last weekend. Loyal Husky
supporters knew that our team had
the poterttial to win and were
patiently waiting for them to prove
themselves. Now that the Huskies
have had the sweet taste of victory,

they're determined to continue on
their winning ways.
Shippensburg, on the other hand ,
has no intention of losing. At the
time this article is being written ,
the Red Raiders had notched three
successive victories and were favored over California State Teachers'
in their fourth contest.
The Shippensburg lineup is expected to remain pretty much the
ssOne. Ron Rock and Bob Plotkin
give the Raiders two fine ends. Jake
Corwell will team up with Baker at
the tackle position, and Ron Lawhead and Don Trexler will start off
in the guard slots. Ray Mentzer
will round off the line at center.
The backfield will see little

Bloomsburg Scores Victory
Against Mountaineers, 33*6
The Mansfield Mountaineers had
a damper put on their Homecoming
Day festivities as the Huskies let
loose with a 33 to 6 victory on the
loser 's turf last Saturday.
A fired up Bloomsburg eleven
drew first blood in the opening
quarter as Eddie Watts terminated
a 30-yard drive by plunging over
from the three. Bloomsburg scored
again in the first period on a 28yard pass from Snyder to Schultz.
Manko kicked the extra point after
failing to split the uprights after
the first score.

Ju nior Varsity
Downs Lycoming

Last Thursday the Husky Pups
gained the first BSTC victory by
mauling a scrappy Lycoming College jayvee squad 26-0 on Mt.
Olympus. Under the direction of
Puckey and Francis, the Pups primarily engaged in ground manuevers which completely baffled Lycoming. This was evidenced by
Johnny Johnson 's 55 yard run on
the third play of the game for the
fir st of four BSTC touchdowns.
Although .we were greatly outsized, the j ay vees continued to
make sizeable holes in the Lycoming forward wall. Nick Volpetti
dashed seven yards for the second
TD, making the score at the half
12-0 with the Maroon and Gold out
in ironr.

Late in the third period the Lycoming eleven were forced to punt
from deep in their own territory. At
this point the promising back, Gerry Natishan grabbed the short punt
and returned the pigskin on a brilliant run to the end zone for the
third Pup TD. Gronka then converted the extra point.
With time running out the Husky
offensive unit began to roll. With
the ball resting on about the eight ,
Dave Gerber was called upon to
take a delayed hand-off around
right end for the final touchdown.
Barney Manko converted the extra
point making the final score, BSTC
26, Lycommg 0,
The jay vee 's were scheduled to
play Lock Haven at home on the
24t h, but previous reports were received to the effect that the game
had been cancelled. If this be the
case, the jay vees will resume and
conclude action on October 31, at
Lycoming.

The Huskies scored two more
touchdowns in the first half. Gerry
Wood running from the full back
slot, broke loose for a 54 yard
scamper and the third TD of the
afternoon. After kicking off , the
Huskies recovered a Mansfield fumble on the 28. Capitalizing on this
miscue, the Huskies again hit pay
dirt with Goobic crashing over from
the four. The half ended with
Bloomsburg out in front 25 to 0.
The scoring was somewhat slower as the second half got under
w ay, but the Huskies did manage to
push across another TD and add
a safety just for insurance.
The final BSTC touchdown was
set up when Snyder intercepted a
pass on his own 27-yard line. After
a sustained drive which was highlighted by a beautiful Snyder to
Schultz pass, Goobic hit pay dirt for
his second touchdown of the day.
Again the P.A.T. failed and the
Huskies led 31 to 0.
The Maroon and Gold threatened
late in the period, moving the ball
to the one-yard stripe. At this point
Snyder fumbled and Mansfield gained possession of the ball. It w as to
no avail, however, as the Maroon
and Gold stalwarts on the second
play from scrimmage, swamped a
Mansfield back in the end zone for
a Husky 2-pointer.
The final score of the game came
in the last quarter as the Mansfield
eleven fin ally managed to hit paydirt. A screen pass good for 44
yards and a TD was the lone Mountaineer tally of the day.
The finalminutes of t he fou rth
quarter showed plenty of action
with the Husky scrubs proving that
they knew what the game was all
about. Coach Blair cleared the
bench , and the boys gave it all they
had. Dave Gerber, Bloom halfback ,
brought Husky fans to their feet
with a beautiful run just before the
final whistle blew. Credit should
also be given to Freshman Johnny
Johnson who gave a fine display of
broken field running throughout
the entire game. The inspired Huskies were too much for the Mountaineers with the final score reading 33 to 6 in Bloomsburg 's favor.

This year's team packs the punch
to be another top-notch ball club.
They do not see anything to stop
them from completing a perfect
season. However, they first have to
get past our Bloomsburg Huskies.
As previously stated, the Maroon
and Gold squad has showed the potential to win all season. Some bad
breaks, inexperience and over anxiety along with a few injuries, have
hampered the team to some extent.
However, if these incidentals iron
themselves out, the Red Raiders
can expect to be in for a rough
afternoon.
The Huskies, with Oscar Snyder
at quarterback, handed the Mansfield eleven a stinging set back on
Saturday. Some fine running by
Freshman Johnny Johnson, and
some vicious line play by the Husky
forward wall showed the studentswho attended the game that the
Huskies are going to add a few
more victims to their list before the
season ends.
The Bloomsburg, Shippensburg
rivalry started many years ago with
the two teams having met twentyeight times. The Red Raiders hold
the edge over the Huskies with sixteen victories to their credit while
Bloomsburg has been able to come
out on top only twelve times. Last
y ear the Red Raiders were also victorious, handing' our team a 20 tn 3
defeat.
This year we are hoping that the
outcome will be a little different.
Our Huskies have been improving
since their first game, and the spirit
at the "College on the Hill" is really high. This will be the team's first
appearance on friendly Mt. Olympus this season. The Blairmen have
been working hard for this one —
so the t eam, oaches, faculty , students, alumni and visitors will all
be looking forward to a victorious
Homecoming.

A Letter ? ?
To the Editor

Our right and responsibility .in

Hail! Hail! th e fl u 's all here. Once again we come to you from the accepting a student tribunal seems
Hut , overlooking the Bloomsburg S.D.P. (sewage disposal plant) in to be something completely remote

downtown Bloomsburg. First of all; last week's column was NOT written by yours truly. Credit, whether good or bad , should be given to the
proper authors.
BSTC is following its Ivy League brother by having a queen at Homecoming this year. The candidates are:
Title
Home
Name
'
Dorothy Evans
Miss Piano Stool
Lester, Penna.
Margaret McCern
Miss Type
Underwood, N.J.'
Gwendolyn Reems
Catawissar, Louisanar
Miss Windswept
Mary MacDonald
Norfalk Naval Base, Va.
Miss Actually
Nell Maupi n
Near Miss
Little Rock , Arkansas
The UC selection for Home-going Queen goes to Miss Beatrice Mettler
for sending home 300 students suffering from Oriental Grip. (Fo r the
benefit of all business students we mean Asian Flu.) Tom Sheehan, a
noted science scholar, has been experimenting with various liquid vaccines in an attempt to find a cure. Evidently the results are fairly satisfactory because Tom is feeling pretty good.
Uncle Burly Grimes is back so this must be Homecoming. We understand he'll be staying at Hoch's Haven in the foothills of Espy. This
means Dr. Herre will have to move back to Light Street. Bud's father,
Bill Bitner , has returned to see if all things are well at BSTC. Ron
Behers is back but that's not news. He's been celebrating Homecoming
twice a week since school started. In fact , he stayed with us one weekend recently. During his stay he ate all our food and broke a sofa bed.
Probably many freshmen are wondering who the chu"bby private is with
Carol Yost ! The 1955 co-ed of the y ear, Bobbi Roadside , drove back to
the "hole on the knoll" in her new Pontiac. Bobbi tells us that one recent morning when she arrived in her homeroom there was a policeman to greet her. He was there to escort one of Bobbi's pupils to Reform School. Teaching is different! Number 64 on the football squad
should have an extra reason to play exceptional ball tomorrow. His
brother, John Panichello a '55 graduate, just came in from Germany via
Cheltenham; (incidentally, Mr. Shelly, Cheltenham is in the Suburban
League). Big and fat Jack Bushey made it down through the dirt roads
surrounding Sayre. For all geography minors Sayre, a small farming
community , is a suburb of Troy.
As a special service to the returning grads who are interested in the
careers of their fellow alumni, we investigated and found that: Joe
Kwalk is busy picking up empty beer bottles in Milwaukee; Buzz Wool
is teaching Roger Bannister how to run the mile in less than three minutes; Frank Kaminsky is teaching Russian to Hungarian immigrants ;
Bob Arbogast is instructing a weight-lifting class (they have no bar
bell , so the students use Bob). Ed Zaja czkowski is teaching the unemployment office how to spell his name; Al Hoffman , who was drafted
before he graduated, is instructing Charlie Pope how to peel potatoes
at Fort Gordon, Georgia; Oggie Koslowski is sleeping; Bob Stroup is
going to the movies so he can name his next child ; John Angus is dieting
so he can fit in the cockpit of his Navy j et; Thomas Reimensnyder is
principal, football coach, band director, and school nurse at Upper
Slobbovia High ; Bob Ebner is getting acquainted with the familiar
odor found in the Kennett Square area (yes Vowler, it' s manure). Tom
McDevitt is a member of the A.A. (ardent abstainers); Bob Biemesderfer is letting his hair grow ; and Joe Malczyk got married. For all other
alumni who we can not j erk; Have a happy Homecoming, go back to
your classrooms, and continue educating American youth.
The B Club sold mums again this year for Homecoming. All members were asked to solicit on their respective floors . One cute co-ed
from Jersey Shore, namely Jane Neff , was wondering whether to take
orders for the large or small. She was told they would be the same
size, so her j ob was made very easy. She did a fine j ob and the Club was
proud of her. However, her Mum orders were not for the flowers, but
for the deodorant. (We use Mennen for men even though we are boys).
Last week the Huskies brought home the bacon, and victory for
Bloom never tasted sweeter. Best of luck against the Red Raiders,
Fellas! Mr. Miller's Maroon and Gold Band deserve a lot of credit. Despite losses from illness, the M & G' s were quite impressive before the
Homecoming crowd at Mansfield.
We weren 't wondering who the Sweetheart of Ph.. Sigma Pi is. We
already knew and the choice met our approval. Attend the game and
dance today and you 'll know too.
See ya around campus!

from the student body. Our feelings
toward such a body may change
when we reach the point of realizing that we are thought of as men
and women, not boys and girls, by
our society.
If , chronologically, we have
reached the age of judging our
peers in a court of law ; of electing
men and women to represent us in
our government ; of raising a family
to be solid citi zens of ou r nat ion ,
then we should be mentally and
emotionally stable to judge ourselves in a student tribunal. As
Bloomsburg grows, so may we grow

To Dr* Andruss

My dear Dr. Andruss:
I regret that a complication of
commitments made it impossible
for me to attend the very fine assembly program which your college
brought here on October 8, 1957. I
have nothing but the most enthusiastic reports on the program, by
both faculty and students. Please
convey to Mr. Boyd Buckingham,
Dr. Maietta, and the six student
clinicians our deepest appreciation
of the well planned and well organized presentation of the work which
you are doing at Bloomsburg in the
training of speech therapists.
A group of our art education students are looking forward with
pleasure to their visit on your
campus on November 5, 1957.
My best wishes to you.
Cordially yours,
Q.A.W. Rohrbach

REMEMBER
WHEN?
by FRAN GUIDO

Homecoming is upon us and
many of the alumni are returning
to renew old acquaintances. While
nostalgia reigns supreme, th ese
words will be heard, echoing all
over the campus, "Remember
wh en . . .?"
Do you Remember When ?
Jim Gustav and Bobbie Creamer
reigned as king and queen of the
"Festival of Snow." The actual
snowfall that night caused many
cars to be stalled on College Hill.
The Husky Lounge consisted
mainly of hard , straight benches
and bleachers.
Gary Lynch claimed to have been
the first wearer of black denim
trousers on campus.
Keith Wiser scored 24 points
against the West Chester Rams to
close the basketball season.
The "biggest men" on campus,
Joe Worrell and Carl Stanitski, got
cold feet because their beds weren't
lon g enough .
Arnie Garinger, a customs violator, measured the length of Waller
Hall corridor with a six inch ruler.
Johnny Halcovitch paced the
Huskies at the bat with a .425 average.

Prospect s for 1957-58
Enrollment
The total enrollment for the first semester of the college year 19571958 will be more than 1,200 stud ent s, with a Freshman Class of 330. Of
this number, approximately 500 are in the dormitories, 300 men are
living in the town of Bloomsburg, and about the same number of men
are commuting to the college each day.
Faculty
A full-time faculty of 60 and a part-time faculty of 52 cooperating
teachers in student teaching centers, while ah increased number over
the previous year, still represents a student-teacher ratio which should
be lowered as soon as funds are available for the employment of an increased instructional staff.
In order that the 700 off-campus students may reach their homes as
easily as possible, classes are being scheduled for the period from 12
to 1 o 'clock, with a cafeteria mid-day meal hour running from 11:00 to
1:00. Otherwise, a large number of classes would have to be scheduled
on Saturdays, or the day would have to be lengthened so that a large
number of students would have class at 4 :00 and would have to travel
over roads which might be dangerous in the winter.
Faculty salaries have been increased by the granting of double increments varying from $400 to $600 per year to all those members of the
instructional staff who were employed here last year.
Facil ities

The College Commons (Dining Room, Kitchen , and Storage Building)
is now in full operation and is serving more than 600 students and
dining room employees. There is cafeteria service for breakfast and
luncheon , and table service for the evening meal, by an agreement
which has been signed with the M. W. Wood Company, of Allen town ,
Pennsylvania.
More than 100 students living in the town of Bloomsburg are availing
themselves of the opportunity to have their meals on campus.
The contract for the renovation of our dining room space, whi ch
will be available for use as a library, is progressing, and it is expected
that a large part of the old library equipment can be moved to this new
location during the Christmas Holidays. Stack space for approximately
50,000 books and bound magazines will thus be made available.
As soon as the old library space is vacated , dormitory rooms to accommodate 25 students on the second floor of Waller Hall annex will be
constructed and will be available for use before the end of the college
year. Total cost of this proj ect will exceed $200,000, and represents an
expenditure from the regular college budget.
New Building1 Program
The General State Authority is reviewing plans for (1) A New Men 's
Dormitory to accommodate 200 students, L. H. Hooken Company, New
Ox ford , Pennsylvania, Architects; (2) A Classroom Building to house
the Department of Business Education and the Science Department ,
John A. Schell, of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, Architect.
The total construction cost of these two buildings, plus furniture and
equipment, will exceed $1,500,000. However, when they are completed,
we shall only be able to offer an opportunity to two-thirds of the men
now living in the town of Bloomsburg to come on campus. When the
dormitory is completed , we shall be able to offer campus-rooming facilities to 700 and dining facilities to approximately 800.
While enrollment of 1,400 was planned for the college year 19581959, this will probably be impossible until such time as the two buildings presently planned are constructed and ready for occupancy.
Admission Problems
Two times as many student paid the initial admission fee than could
be accepted in the Freshman Class. Probably an equal number either
secured admission blanks and did not complete them, or requested admission blanks and were told of the overcrowding and did not follow
up their original intention. In other words, there were three applicants
for each student admitted , and this situation will probably continue.
No matter what plans are made for increasing the size of the campus
through land purchases or for building additional buildings, Alumni who
are interested in having students apply for admission to Bloomsburg
should advise them to do so as early as possible, with the understanding
that all students have to rank reasonably high on a qualifying examination, pass a physical examination by their family and college physicians,
and have a satisfactory interview with at least two members of the
college staff.
Bloomsburg has the same problems as other colleges in Pennsylvania
and your understanding of the conditions will be appreciated by
Harvey A. Andruss, President.
