Miss Locke, who was crowned queen

a Yuletide not so peaceful as this
year's? Possibly within the next few
years. With the new scientific developments being put into use
every day, it might not be too long
before the urge for progress overr
shadows the concern for humanity.
During this holy season of the year
everyone should meditate on the
true meaning of Christmas Spirit.
This abstract quality can be interpreted to stand for many things :
concern for humanity and their
manners and morals, charity and
benevolence toward our neighbors,
and an odd exhiliration which
makes us feel as if the world is perfect.
There is no reason why this spirit
cannot prevail throughout the
year. Why abandon it like you do

Fike, Seniors Plan
Educational Tour
Twenty seniors from the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, accompanied by Dr. George Fike, Professor of Education, will leave
Bloomsburg Thursday morning, December 12, for a two day trip to
Washington , D.C. Members of the
group are presently doing practice
teaching in either Berwick, Danville, or Central Columbia high
schools.
The itinerary includes visits to
the United States Office of Education and the headquarters of the
National Education Association.
The students will tour the physical
facilities used by each organization
and will hear lectures by various
departmental heads. Following the
tours and lectures, Dr , Fike and the
students will hold seminars to discuss and evaluate what they have
seen and heard.
During the visit to N.E.A. headquarters, the students will be divided into groups according to their
maj or areas of study such as science, mathematics, social studies,
languages, etc. At these meetings,
the students will visit their particular classroom departments, and will
receive valuable teaching aids and
materials, plus information as to
sources of other materials and
techniques to be used in their respective fields.
Student committees, supervised
by Dr. Fike , have made all arrangements for housing, transportation,
and visits to the N.E.A. and the* Office of Education.
Annual Cotillion

On December 6, 1957, appr oximately 150 couples spent the evening "Deep In A Dream," which
was sponsored by the Sophomore
Class. Music was furnished by Buddy Karl and his orchestra.
The decorations were quite elaborate with a dropped celling of blue
and white crepe paper adorned with
silver stars. A Christmas tree decorated with blue angel hair set off
one end of the gym while the moon
itself over-looked the entire scene
from the other end. Tables which
were decorated with centerpieces of
blue and white bottles serving as
candle holders, encircled the dance
floor.

Dear Diar y ,
Honestly ! I just cannot believe
it is Christmas time already. Last
Christmas seems such a little time
away. I remember it so clearly! I
j ust hope I don't have ,as much
trouble doing my Christmas shopping this year as I had before. Last
year I bought a fur piece for my
aunt; as I picked the little beggar
up, it bit my finger !Oh well — after
that I decided to buy some harmless
little toys for my harmless little
niece and nephew. So after a good
deal of deliberation , I decided to
get my nephew a bow and arrow
set. Naturally , I tried it ou t , and
shot myself through the foot—and ,
since I was wearing it, I had to buy
it! Next, I looked at a Jack-in-thebox for my niece. I guess I looked
too close, cause the darn thing gave
me a beautiful shiner.
My roommate was next on the

of her . So I gave her perfume —
"Nuit d' Horror" it was. Before I
got it wrapped, tho — I broke the
bottle, dousing myself quite liberally. Consequently, since I'm allergic
to almost everything, I broke out

I didn't become too panicky about

The Christmas season is a sentimental , mellowing time — not a very
good one for vitriolic or pedantic editorials. And right about now everybod y is working very hard in both academic and extra-curricular projects. So we'll save som e of our comments on college affairs for the postholiday issues and say a few nice things about people for a change.
If we were to follow Mrs. Hoke's example (she gave all the Waller
Women gold stars for holiday room-check). We might give as Christmas gifts a few bad ges of merit to some of the following :
Miss Zinn : This teacher and assistant Dean entered right into the,
spirit of the girls dorm party last Sunday night by performing in one
of the most appreciated skits we've seen here at Bloom. Dressed as
a littlfe girl, she skipped rope and pantomined the recording of "I'm
Going to Lasso Santa Claus." She brought down the house with her
Imogene Coca-like performance. As Dr. DeVoe might say—Damnably cute !
Dee Panzitta : As Santa Claus for the dorm party, Dee almost made
the "tired and twenty-one" girls believe in the old fellow again.
Barby Hockenberry : The girl responsible for the party as Social
Chairman of Waller Hall, Barby did a magnificent job — as she has
done all year. We think she is just about the cleverest artist on camp- oio conuSnc

On Monday evening, December 2,
the Canadian Players presented
George Bernard Shaw's Man and
Superman in Carver Auditorium .
This group is the first to represent
Canadian theatre throughout North
America and originates in the world
renowned center of drama at Stratford , Ontario.
The Canadian Players was originated in 1954 and has been overwhelmingly received by audiences
from California to Nova Scotia and
from Florida to Alaska. In the summ er of 1957, they became the first
group chosen by the recently formed Canadian Council to receive a
grant from its fifty million dollar
endowment fund . This is additional
evidence that this group is rapidly
becoming Canada 's foremost touring company.
Each year, t wo plays, one representing tragedy and the other comedy, are presented. This year
Shakespeare's Othello and Shaw's
Man and Superman constitute their
nrnpr ram.
"Man and Superman" is a comedy in which Jack Tanner, the leading character of the play, is trapped
into matrimony by the leading
lady, Miss Ann Whitefield. Miss
Whitefield takes no chances in carrying through her carefully laid
plans which do not include Jack's
best friend, Octavius Robinson, who
loves and idealizes her. The resulting confusion and additional complications make this a play of almost
universal appeal.
Shaw is, as usual, a master of
satire, as he attacks both the upper
and lower classes, politics , materialism, and Americans. But his main
criticism is directed toward Victorian notions of sex. Jack Tanner is
magnificent as he ridicules the
prudish and hypocritical attitudes
of his contemporaries. However, it
eventually becomes apparent to

BASKETBALL
Now it is December and another football season has come to BSTC
and slowly drifted away until only memories remain. In the Husky
Lounge football players can be heard retelling and probably exaggerating their football tales of the past season. Up on Mt. Olympus things
look bleak. For Mt. Olympus has been deserted until spring when the
rattle of baseball spikes will re-awaken it.
Attention has gone from football to basketball and wrestling where
we find the Bloomsburg STC cagers and grapplers preparing to meet
the t oughest part of their schedules.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers College basketball team will play
seventeen games this season. The Huskies will play thirteen conference
games and home-an-away contests with both King's College and Lycoming College. Against the same nine court opponents, the Huskies won
nine and lost eight in the 1956-57 season. Husky mentor, Harold B.
Shelly , is beginning his second quarter century in the coaching ranks,
and for the past eight years at Bloomsburg, Shelly has not had a losing
season. During the 1952-53 season his charges won the Conference
Ch ampionship with a 10-2 record , and another crown would not make
the affable tutor an unhappy man.
WRES TLING
The Husky matmen will open their season at home on Wednesday,
January 8 against Shippensburg. Coaching the Maroon and Gold squad
will be Russell Houk who had completed five very successful seasons at
South Williamsport High School and Muncy High before j oining the
Bloom sburg faculty in September. The Huskies, who won 6 meets and
lost 3 last year, will meet the same opponents with the exception of the
Pennsylvania Military College which' was dropped from the schedule.
Harry Hughes, big gun in the heavyweight division , graduated in
May and left a gap that will be hard to fill , but five of the eight are back
vying for berths this year. The Huskies look strong in the 123, 130, 157,
and 167 pound divisions, and with a lot of hard work should improve
their st anding in some other brackets. Coach Houk has 14 freshman
candidates who need more experience, but he is hoping to use them as
the nucleus of a strong building program for next year. The Husky
wrestlers will compete in nine meets including the State Teachers College Wrestling Championships which will be held at Lock Haven STC
in February.
QUICK PICK-UPS
Dr. W. Glenn Killinger recorded his third undefeated, untied season
as West Chester's coach and it was West Chester's fifth perfect season.
Coach Killinger, the last of the STC "veteran " mentors , has an all-time
record of 133 wins, 35 losses and 11 ties in 20 seasons. STC teams won
21, lost 20 and tied 1 against non-conference liberal art college teams
during the 1957 season.

Grid Season
Ends at BSTC
The 1957 footb all season at BSTC
is now history at basketball and
wrestling vie for the sports spotlight. Although .it's all over , the
showing that the Husky gridders
made will not be forgotten.
The BSTC won-lost record was
nothing to brag about (2-5) , but a
few facts have to be taken into consideration befor a true analysis can
be given. First, there were inju ries
to such stalwarts as George
Chaump, Bobby Rohm, and Woody
Rhoads. Second, this was Coach
Blair 's first year at the helm, and
finally , as Coach Blair pointed out,
there was the lack of prior varsity
competition.
The Huskies first game with Lock
Haven showed the lack of game experience, and the frequent fumbling
proved to be the deciding factor in
Lo ck Haven 's 13-6 victory . Next,
they encountered a good Delaware
Sfate team, and once again, with
seven fumbles, the Husikes went
down to defeat by a 13-0 score. The
third game proved to be just as disillusioning as the Huskies bowed to
a powerful Cortland eleven by a
score of 42-12.
Finally, after the Cortland game,
Bloomsburg came into its own.
Sparkling offense and fine defensive
play stood out in the remaining four
games as the Huskies managed to
sweep two victories. BSTC began
the rejuvenation by trouncing the
Mountaineers of Mansfield 33-6.
Next came a heartbreaking Homecoming loss to Shippensburg by a
20-19 score. The Huskies bounced
back after this loss, trimming the
Vulcans from California 26-12. The
final game of the season was with
the powerf ul Rams of West Chester.
The Huskies climaxed the season
with a terrific showing against the
highly favored Rams, but came out
on the short end of a 13-7 seor©,
Bloomsburg failed to capitalize on
one scoring opportunity as they lost
the ball inches short of the goal line.
As the game ended, the Rams intercepted a Bloomsburg pass in the
end zone that ended another Husky
drive, allowing West Chester to go
home with the victory.
Coach Walter Blair sums up the
season this way. "!Despite our poor
won-lost record, this was the finest
group of fellows and ballplayers I
have ever been associated with.
Their all-out effort and desire to
win rates them as high as any other
group. With a few breaks in their
favor, they could have been an outstanding ball club."
So, as we reminisce, we remember the brilliant running of Eddie
Watts , Jo nah Goobi c, Bike Bottorf ,
Gerry Wood, and Bobby Rohm, the
accurate passing of John Oustrich
and Oz zie Snyder , the sure-fingered
pass catching of Maurie Schultz and
Stan Covington , the rugged line
play of Frank Prusch, George
Choump, Tom Vaxmonsky, Leo
Mulholl and Chick DeFebo. Not to
be overlooked was the valuable advice, instruction , and planning of
Coach Blair and Russell Houk. Also,
remember the part played by the
managers and statisticians.
Two Bloomsburg STC Huskies
were named to the second team of
the Seventh Annual State Teachers
College Conference All-Star teams
as selected by the coaches through out the conference. The two BSTC
players named to the second team
were Eddie Watts, senior halfback ,
and Carl DeFebo, senior tackle.
Both players aided the inexperienced squad of Coach Walt Blair thruout the season and played a tremendous game in the thrilling contest against the Rams from West

Now that the 1957 football season
has come to an end, wrestling, along
with basketball, shares the athletic
spotlight here at BSTC. First year
coach, Russell Houk , is extremely
enthusiastic about the Husky matmen and their chances for success
in league and tournament competiti on.
Coach Houk is not making any
predictions ; but , when asked how
his wrestlers are shaping up, he
said , "It 's a young, enthusiastic
squad , with a lot of potential."
There are thirty boys trying to
make the squad , twelve freshmen ,
eleven sophomores, four juniors,
and three seniors. Eleven of the
players are returning lettermen
and consequently, most of the squad
is inexperienced in college competition.
Most of the starting berths on
the squad are being competed for
with great enthusiasm and Coach
Houk said that he could not name
one starter until the eliminations
are held December 11 and 12.
The first match is with Shippensburg on January 8 at home. One of
t he big events of the season will be
the Huskies competing in the
Wilkes Tournament on December
27 and 28. This is the largest A.A.U.
tournament in the country and
every major college in the East will
participate. Coach Houk feels sure
that entering the tournament will
provide the team with excellent experience.
Wrestling is unique in the tact
t hat the coach does not pick the
team ; the boys eliminate each
other. Competing for starting roles
on the squad are returning letterrnon Jack Chideser, Stan Elinsky,
Jim Garman , George O'Connell,
Frank Prusch , Dick Rimple, Bob
Rohm , and Bill Calderwood. Other
holdovers are Bob Asby, Dick Dapra, Pete Valanla, and Sam Haupt.

Huskies Seek First Win
In Kings Contest
This evening, December 12, at
8:30 , the Husky cagers invade
Wilkes-Barre where they will meet
the Kings College quintet in what
should prove to be one of the most
interesting games on Bloomsburg 's
schedule.
The Huskies will be out for revenge after suffering two setbacks
at the hands of Kings last year. In
the first meeting between the two
clubs last season Kings managed to
Hu sky Cagers Bow
To Shippensburg
hit the century mark in scoring, but
in the second game, played at Centennial gym, they just barely managed to eke out a victory, as Bob
Boyle kept their scoring ace, Wallace, in check throughout most of
the game.
Kings had a very successful 195657 season sporting a 15-5 record.
They will be strong again this year
although they will be without the
services of their high scoring forward, Wallace, who averaged 30.8
points per game.
Returning lettermen include Fosko, who is captain of the squad
and a great floorman and playmaker. Back for another year are
Simon and Davis who are always
tough under the boards. Rounding
out the starting five will be Hpban
and Bauchman who always turn in
outstanding performances. An interesting sidelight is the fact that
the five starters played basketball
in local high schools in the WilkesBarre area.
The Husky cagers should prove to
be a good match for Kings after
their first test of the season against
Kutztown State Teachers College
last Wednesday. Schaeffer and Snyder will give Simon and Davis plenty of competition under the boards
and with Swisher and Gustave scoring at will and Boyle displaying his
fine defensive talents, Kings can be
sure to expect a very tough evening.

Sports Supremacy
Important in USSR
The Soviet Union's drive for
world supremacy in sports is part of
a "sports and physical fitness boom
with an importance in Soviet life
which is unparalleled anywhere else
in the world today," according to
the December 2nd issue of Sports
Illustrated writer Jerry Cooke.
The most import ant reason for
t his boom , as stated by Mr. Cooke,
is the obvious one that the government support s it. Added to this is
the fact th at the universal eight
hour work day leaves plenty of time
for leisure ; the people have a passion for mass activity ; and excellent
facilities are available at no cost.
The writer was impressed by the
endless amount of practicing he saw
everywhere—i n gyms, in pools , in
th cparks. He met a man who was
em ployed as a "physical culture superintendent and whose whole j ob
was planning and supervising exercises in one factory.
Mr. Cooke found millions of Russians participating in every sort of
sport including tennis, steeplechasing, basketb a ll , and sailing. Individualistic sports as hunting and fishing are popular, according to the article , but they seem to be practiced
evasively because they are at odds
with the collective character of
Soviet life and are not government
sponsored,
Cooke says that participants
seemed "withdrawn , concentrated ,
even grim at their games, often as
much so as their top athletes in international contest." He felt that
nobody seemed to be enjoying themselves and that sport is , in fact , j ust
another j ob to be done.

The festive dinner by candlelight,
held prior to the Thanksgiving holidays, will long be remembered by
all. The Christmas dinner which is
being planned should please both
faculty and students. These meals,
as well as the regular meals, are
planned a week in advance, and are
designed with forethought as to nutritional value, balance, interest
and color scheme.
With such a vast improvement in
both quality and service BSTC
takes pride in its College Commons.
For the first time in the history
of Bloomsburg, the dining facilities
are being operated by a catering
service. Milton W. "Scotty " Wood ,
of Allentown , has built a small business endeavor into a top food organization. Apart from catering for
BSTC , the Wood organization holds
contracts for food service at Lehigh
University, Cedar Crest College,
Kutztown State Teachers College,
and many large business concerns.
The company employs managers to
supervise every meal, chefs, cooks,
kitchen helpers, dishwashers, waitr esses , office personnel, and truck
drivers.
Through the combined efforts of
Mr. Bierly and Mr. Sellers, two men
of exceptional managing ability, the
College Commons has earned a reputation for excellent food and service. This operation is similar to the
assembly line of any large business
concern , each employee having his
own area for his particular job.
Another innovation in the dining
hall this year is our own baker, Mr.
Paul, who has surprised the students and faculty with such treats
as home made breads and pastries.
Meal time in the modern Commons refle cts anticipation of good
food, an attractive dining room, and
a relaxing atmosphere. From the
stainless steel stoves and sinks to
the comfortable lounge adjacent to
the dining room, the Commons emphasizes up-to-date design for modern living.

Statisticia ns Men
Behind the Scenes

A maj or factor in the success of
college sports is the part played by
the statisticians. Bud Sheridan and
Joe Zapach do the statistics work
at BSTC.
Their duties consist mainly of
compiling statistics in football ,
baseball, and basketball for the
NCAA and the Pennsylvania State
Teachers College Conference. The
j ob they do is not only necessary to
STC public relations but it is a valuable help to the coaches of these
three sports. For instance, suppose
a coach wanted to evaluate the abilities of a certain football player . By
looking at the charts of statistics
that Bud and Joe have made, a player's offensive and defensive abilities , number of tackles he made ,
and the number of yards he gained
rushing can be ascertained. Likewise, in baseball and basketball, a
'coach can determine whether or not

of this statistics duo, is now serving

this step will decidedly improve the
quality of the program offered to
prospective teachers.
The board also gave its approval
to a faculty recommendation that
candidates for admission be required to present scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test, both verbal and
mathematical sections. In past
years , Wilmington has conducted
its own pre-testing.
Officer Procurement representatives of the U. S. Marine Corps will
conduct student interviews here on
December 12.
Captain G. J. DeLong, USMC, officer in charge, announced that applications will be considered for the
Marines' Platoon Leaders Class and
for the Offi cer Candidate Course.
Both are reserve officer training
programs which lead to a commission in either ground or aviation
component s of the Corps.
The Platoon Leaders Class is offered to male freshmen, sophomores , and j uniors who want to
serve as an officer with the Marine
Corps after graduation . Commissions are earned by training at
Marine Corps Schools, Quantico,
Virginia, during the summer for a
total of two six-week periods. Applications may be made for either
the ground or aviation commissions.
The Officer Candidate Course,
which is designed for seniors and
recent graduates, consists of ten
weeks of precommissioning training at Quantico following graduation.
According to Captain DeLong,
current officer agreements establish an active duty tour of three
years of ground officers and two
years (after a 15 to 18 months
flight course) for pilots.
He listed as general qualifications
for the programs : United States
citizenship between the ages of 17
and 26, sound physical and mental
health ; at least a "C" average, and
leadership potential.
Marines on Camp us
The U. S. Marine Corps has announced an Officer Candidate
Course for mid-year graduates
which convenes at Quantico, Virginia, on March 24th.
The 10-week O.C.S. results in a
reserve commission as second lieutenant followed by three years of
active duty for the ground officer
and two years after flight school
for the aviation officer.

All that day he sat there like many before ,
His arms were all cramped and his back, Oh, so sore!
The belt was too tight, and the britches too short,
The mustache and beard were the long scratchy sort.
His knees were near broken from children who sat
Upon them for hours, both skinny and fat.
A department store Santa Claus that's what he was
And he hated the children, the fuss and the buzz.
But uppermost in mind lay the profit it brought,
And money, more money was what he had sought.
'Twas the day after New Year's and all through the house
All the creatures had hangovers — even the mouse.
The children were admonished not to make noise
And sat meekly playing with sound-proofed toys.
And Ma in her housecoat and Dad still abed
Were moaning and wishing that they could be dead.
Then up on his knee climbed a dear little girl,
With dimples so merry and hair all a curl ;
She crept very close and then into his ear
Whispered quite gently words that were dear.
"You see, I' ve a Papa who says you're not real."
He says, "Christmas Spirit's not something you feel,
But a great lot of nonsense to put it quite plain ;
And those who believe it are really not sane.
But Santa, please don't think my Papa 's not good,
He's bought me each doll and each dress that he could.
Bu t nev er, not once, has he said a kind word,
And all he will say to my thoughts is 'absurd'.
So, Santa, I ask you to put into his heart.
The love and goodwill that is Christmas in part."
She clutched his hand tightly, then scampered away,
Trusting all to dear Santa till that Christmas Day.
When out on the porch there arose such a clanging,
The celebrants felt that their eyeballs were banging.
They crawled to the window, for they were not hardy,
Tore open the shutters — threw up — what a party !

The Melancholy Lackluster
From the December NEA Journal—Natural habitat is a rut. Hasn 't
varied its fligh t pattern in years.
Classes generate excitement of a
dish of warm jello. Most important
classroom furniture is a clock which
it watches closely. Would be j ust

ANNOUN CEMENT
A BSTC sophomore, Gary Zimmerman, became engaged to Barbara Elaine Trump of Harrisburg on
November 17, 1957.
A tear found its way down the mean, stubborn face.
The heart once so cold was no longer the case,
For this curly-haired girl was his own little child,
And his heart , once so hard, stirred with love—and he smiled.
Lu says he caught his finger in
the Council door, but we know better.
The Man in the
Manhole . .
With the new year practically
upon us, your friendly, jovial roving
reporter is here with this year's list
of resolutions. On my numerous excursions around the campus I came
in contact with many bright eager
young students j ust bursting with
good cheer and resolutions.
Judy Witmyer: I resolve to try to
get out of the dormitory more often and be more active socially. I
have been studying much too
hard.
Ginny Hardy: Stop being a curve
breaker in all Dr. Bahlke's literature tests.
Whitey Farrow: I resolve to stop
dating girls in 1957 and start taking out women.
Lu Natter :Resolved — to stop stepping on my fingers.
Dean Hoch: I resolve to have fewer
freshmen on the probation list.
(He'll do it one way or the other.
Frosh )
Mary Galatha: I resolve to let my
hair grow and dye it blonde and
never learn to swim or play tennis.
Frank Prusch: I resolve to spend
less time in the gymnasium parking lot.
Bob Gower: I don't have to make
any resolutions, I never do anything wrong.
Judy Moore: To change my curriculum to an accounting maj or.
Harold Giacomini: I resolve to take
at least five courses from Dr.
Seronsy next semester.
Joe Panichello: Resolved — to give
up parachute jumping.
Well, that's it for this year, lots of
luck on the resolutions and Merry
Christmas everyone!
The Old Philosopher
Hello ther e, friends, welcome back from Thanksgiving vacation. Don't
you just love being back All you ? had to do at home was eat, sleep,
drink, spend your folks ' money and go out with your lovers. Boring,
w asn't it ? ou say you're just as happy as can be, doing your four term
papers, six units, and taking your eight tests — so relaxing.
You say you need extra money — why not rent your pick-up truck to
the faculty for transporting term papers — usual school wage, however,
$.60 an hour.
You say your name is Tom Quigley and you 've celebrated your birthday four times this semester? Well, now that you're twenty-one, you
can join the Sunshine Club.
You say you finally got a job for the holidays helping Santa compile
his Christmas list: Dean Hoch, an IBM Schedule Maker; Dr. Seronsy,
complete works of Arthur Miller; Dr. Bahlke, subscription to Readers
Digest; Or. Selders, some "D" students; Dr. Herre, a gross of deficiency
slips; Mr. Stradtman, a new flashlight ; Miss Mettler, 1200 flu shots; Lu
Natter, a mirror; Cap Parry, an Oriental (rug, that is); Don Ker, sun
tan lotion; Ellen Drumtra, a date with Elvis Presley ; Mary Galatha, a
j ob on the Daily Worker ; Tom Fleck, a deck of pinochle cards; Student
Body, some passing grades; Freshmen, sophomore class membership;
Sophomores, more successful dances; Seniors, a good time in Washington.
You say you really enjoyed the Waller Hall Tea and think the Wood
Catering Service would make Elsa Maxwell green with envy, and speaking of tea, you'll be living on it now that your grades arrived before your
parents mailed your allowance check. We'll miss you at Hess'.
You say you feel brain washed because you belong to the Poetry Club
and Dr. Bahlke entertained you Tuesday night ; and you have Dr. Seronsy
for Pre-Shakespeare and he entertained your class. (Chaucer readers and
all) on Wednesday night. ( Even though the events were informative,
everyone still had a good time).
You say you are a business student and you're so glad you have one
social studies course this semester—now you 'll have something to do over
the Christmas holidays—a term paper. And Delores Regan, who seems to
be typing everyone's term paper, should get the golden award, "Miss
Term Paper Typist of '57."
You say you are a Freshman and you're learning the words to "Why
Don't They Understand" in anticipation of your probation meeting, but
you'll probably come out singing, "Blue Feeling." And you're wondering
what Ent's put in their coffee which makes certain people on campus enj oy it so much—we'll never rat—will we, Ed Adams ?
You say you used to room in Waller Hall and you went to see your old
room on Sunday and felt terrible seeing all those fancy, frilly curtains,
the neat, orderly appearance and a picture of another guy in your girlfriends room. You say you were disappointed , because they didn't give
an award for a room that looked "lived in ". Keef and Helen would have
coped first prize in this category—or was that the freight elevator we
were in? And in case you were planning to stay over vacation and do
some research, we remind you that the library won 't be open during

THE CLINICIAN
"Mend your speech, lest it mar your fortunes." — King Lear
He's happy ; he 's worried he doesn't know all.
He studies and studies, just can 't grasp it all.
He's in and he's out as a room known as "E",
He scurries and flurries around like a bee.
*•
His clients are people, some old and some young.
He finishes work that's not even begun,
He wears a broad smilo that's quaint in a way,
But some of his thoughts he would rather,pot say.
Monday 's and Wednesday 's are days that are filled ,
With lessons and therapy requiring skill.
Tuesday 's and Thursday 's are days much the same;
When Friday arrives he is almost insane.
His work doesn't stop with the Friday nite bell,
There's Saturday clinic he attends just as well.
Audiometer, Voice, Articulation exams.
Testing and testing 'til he can hardly stand ,
At Saturday noon he's relieved of his plight,
Then Sunday arrives with such peace and delight.
Upon the pillow he rests his head,
Dreams of Monday and work ahead.

Shortage of
College Professors
A beginning deterioration in the
quality of college teaching staffs—
with science bearing the major
brunt—was reported in a new study
released in Washington received by
the National Education Association.
Research polls have shown that
fewer and fewer new doctor's degree graduates have been j oining
teaching ranks in colleges and universities even though the number of
those receiving doctorates is four
times greater than it was ten years
ago . Most of these new graduates
are turning their backs on teaching
and are taking j obs in business and
industry.
Science teaching is hardest hit,
with three out of every new Ph.D. 's
accepting lucrative j obs outside the
teaching profession.
The study also discusses possible
sources of college teachers and investigates the supply and demand of
administrative personnel in higher
education.

All-College Tea
Held December 8
The annual all college Christmas
Tea was held Sunday, December 8th
at 3:30 p.m. in the Waller Hall Lobby. Since this was the first tea to
be held in the Lobby this year, many
changes were observed from last
year 's teas. Along with the new setting, brand new ideas in decorations
and refreshments were introduced .
Mr. Sellers, of the College Commons, supplied the refreshments.
Elaborate state silver tea service
and candleabra were used for the
occasion. In the background, Christmas music added to the Yule spirit
felt by everyone in attendance. The
holiday dress of the students and
f aculty further added to the Christmas scene. Peggy Dragna was
chairman of the tea.
Preceding the tear open house was
held in Waller Hall. Because of the
College's bout with the flu during
Homecoming weekend . Open House
had been postponed until Sunday.
Many educators who are interested in foreign teaching positions wait
until it is too late to investigate the
opportunities available to them
overseas. As a result , they often
have to wait an entire year to complete their applications.
The Advancement and Placemen Instit u te , a non-commercial
professional and advisory service
for the field of education , has been
publicizing foreign teaching positions in its monthly non-f ee placement j ournal, CRUSADE , since
1952.
The Institute urges every American teacher who is able to do so to
take advantage of opportunities to
teach in foreign lands both for the
contribution they can make in interpreting our country abroad, and
for the enriching experiences in international understanding they can
bring to our students in this country upon their return to the schools
of the United States.

Value of Teaching
Abroad Explained
"Peace on earth, good will
toward men" is all very well, but
another sound philosophy is "peace
on earth to men of good will". A
man of good will is a rare item in
our time. Probably because the
sincere man of good will is so faithful , open-hearted, and unselfish
that he is unwilling to be credited
for anything he does. The world
may never appreciate his goodness,
but God takes care of his children,
and the man of good will shall
have peace on earth and rewards
in Heaven. During the holiday season we are reminded that life holds
much happiness for the one who
takes more pleasure in giving than
in receiving. Maybe 1958 shall be
your year for having more "Peace
on earth" because you were a
"man of good will."

Of Varsity's "Harvest Ball"
June Locke was crowned Varsity Queen at the annual Varsity Club
dance , held November 25 at Centennial Gymnasium. June is a sophomore
student from Chester and is majori ng in science and mathematics.
Joe Johnston , Master of Ceremonies, introduced the candidates for
queen and the Varsity Club members who acted as their escorts. The
candidates and their classes were as follows: Susan Loughery, a senior
from Sunbury ; Beth Sprout and Nancy Herman, both jun iors from Williamsport: Ann Spr awls, a freshman from Schuylkill Haven; and
Miss Locke, who was crowned queen
by Paul Spahr , president of the

a Yuletide not so peaceful as this
year's? Possibly within the next few
years. With the new scientific developments being put into use
every day, it might not be too long
before the urge for progress overr
shadows the concern for humanity.
During this holy season of the year
everyone should meditate on the
true meaning of Christmas Spirit.
This abstract quality can be interpreted to stand for many things :
concern for humanity and their
manners and morals, charity and
benevolence toward our neighbors,
and an odd exhiliration which
makes us feel as if the world is perfect.
There is no reason why this spirit
cannot prevail throughout the
year. Why abandon it like you do

Fike, Seniors Plan
Educational Tour
Twenty seniors from the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, accompanied by Dr. George Fike, Professor of Education, will leave
Bloomsburg Thursday morning, December 12, for a two day trip to
Washington , D.C. Members of the
group are presently doing practice
teaching in either Berwick, Danville, or Central Columbia high
schools.
The itinerary includes visits to
the United States Office of Education and the headquarters of the
National Education Association.
The students will tour the physical
facilities used by each organization
and will hear lectures by various
departmental heads. Following the
tours and lectures, Dr , Fike and the
students will hold seminars to discuss and evaluate what they have
seen and heard.
During the visit to N.E.A. headquarters, the students will be divided into groups according to their
maj or areas of study such as science, mathematics, social studies,
languages, etc. At these meetings,
the students will visit their particular classroom departments, and will
receive valuable teaching aids and
materials, plus information as to
sources of other materials and
techniques to be used in their respective fields.
Student committees, supervised
by Dr. Fike , have made all arrangements for housing, transportation,
and visits to the N.E.A. and the* Office of Education.
Annual Cotillion

On December 6, 1957, appr oximately 150 couples spent the evening "Deep In A Dream," which
was sponsored by the Sophomore
Class. Music was furnished by Buddy Karl and his orchestra.
The decorations were quite elaborate with a dropped celling of blue
and white crepe paper adorned with
silver stars. A Christmas tree decorated with blue angel hair set off
one end of the gym while the moon

were decorated with centerpieces of

Dear Diar y ,
Honestly ! I just cannot believe
it is Christmas time already. Last
Christmas seems such a little time
away. I remember it so clearly! I
j ust hope I don't have ,as much
trouble doing my Christmas shopping this year as I had before. Last
year I bought a fur piece for my
aunt; as I picked the little beggar
up, it bit my finger !Oh well — after
that I decided to buy some harmless
little toys for my harmless little
niece and nephew. So after a good
deal of deliberation , I decided to
get my nephew a bow and arrow
set. Naturally , I tried it ou t , and
shot myself through the foot—and ,
since I was wearing it, I had to buy
it! Next, I looked at a Jack-in-thebox for my niece. I guess I looked
too close, cause the darn thing gave
me a beautiful shiner.
My roommate was next on the

of her . So I gave her perfume —

got it wrapped, tho — I broke the

I didn't become too panicky about
this , I knew my hives would look

The Christmas season is a sentimental , mellowing time — not a very
good one for vitriolic or pedantic editorials. And right about now everybod y is working very hard in both academic and extra-curricular projects. So we'll save som e of our comments on college affairs for the postholiday issues and say a few nice things about people for a change.
If we were to follow Mrs. Hoke's example (she gave all the Waller
Women gold stars for holiday room-check). We might give as Christmas gifts a few bad ges of merit to some of the following :
Miss Zinn : This teacher and assistant Dean entered right into the,
spirit of the girls dorm party last Sunday night by performing in one
of the most appreciated skits we've seen here at Bloom. Dressed as
a littlfe girl, she skipped rope and pantomined the recording of "I'm
Going to Lasso Santa Claus." She brought down the house with her
Imogene Coca-like performance. As Dr. DeVoe might say—Damnably cute !
Dee Panzitta : As Santa Claus for the dorm party, Dee almost made
the "tired and twenty-one" girls believe in the old fellow again.
Barby Hockenberry : The girl responsible for the party as Social
Chairman of Waller Hall, Barby did a magnificent job — as she has
done all year. We think she is just about the cleverest artist on camp- oio conuSnc
us and should be encouraged in her work.

On Monday evening, December 2,
the Canadian Players presented
George Bernard Shaw's Man and
Superman in Carver Auditorium .
This group is the first to represent
Canadian theatre throughout North
America and originates in the world
renowned center of drama at Stratford , Ontario.
The Canadian Players was originated in 1954 and has been overwhelmingly received by audiences
from California to Nova Scotia and
from Florida to Alaska. In the summ er of 1957, they became the first
group chosen by the recently formed Canadian Council to receive a
grant from its fifty million dollar
endowment fund . This is additional
evidence that this group is rapidly
becoming Canada 's foremost touring company.
Each year, t wo plays, one representing tragedy and the other comedy, are presented. This year
Shakespeare's Othello and Shaw's
Man and Superman constitute their
nrnpr ram.
"Man and Superman" is a comedy in which Jack Tanner, the leading character of the play, is trapped
into matrimony by the leading
lady, Miss Ann Whitefield. Miss
Whitefield takes no chances in carrying through her carefully laid
plans which do not include Jack's
best friend, Octavius Robinson, who
loves and idealizes her. The resulting confusion and additional complications make this a play of almost
universal appeal.
Shaw is, as usual, a master of
satire, as he attacks both the upper
and lower classes, politics , materialism, and Americans. But his main
criticism is directed toward Victorian notions of sex. Jack Tanner is
magnificent as he ridicules the
prudish and hypocritical attitudes
of his contemporaries. However, it
eventually becomes apparent to

BASKETBALL
Now it is December and another football season has come to BSTC
and slowly drifted away until only memories remain. In the Husky
Lounge football players can be heard retelling and probably exaggerating their football tales of the past season. Up on Mt. Olympus things
look bleak. For Mt. Olympus has been deserted until spring when the
rattle of baseball spikes will re-awaken it.
Attention has gone from football to basketball and wrestling where
we find the Bloomsburg STC cagers and grapplers preparing to meet
the t oughest part of their schedules.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers College basketball team will play
seventeen games this season. The Huskies will play thirteen conference
games and home-an-away contests with both King's College and Lycoming College. Against the same nine court opponents, the Huskies won
nine and lost eight in the 1956-57 season. Husky mentor, Harold B.
Shelly , is beginning his second quarter century in the coaching ranks,
and for the past eight years at Bloomsburg, Shelly has not had a losing
season. During the 1952-53 season his charges won the Conference
Ch ampionship with a 10-2 record , and another crown would not make
the affable tutor an unhappy man.
WRES TLING
The Husky matmen will open their season at home on Wednesday,
January 8 against Shippensburg. Coaching the Maroon and Gold squad
will be Russell Houk who had completed five very successful seasons at
South Williamsport High School and Muncy High before j oining the
Bloom sburg faculty in September. The Huskies, who won 6 meets and
lost 3 last year, will meet the same opponents with the exception of the
Pennsylvania Military College which' was dropped from the schedule.
Harry Hughes, big gun in the heavyweight division , graduated in
May and left a gap that will be hard to fill , but five of the eight are back
vying for berths this year. The Huskies look strong in the 123, 130, 157,
and 167 pound divisions, and with a lot of hard work should improve
their st anding in some other brackets. Coach Houk has 14 freshman
candidates who need more experience, but he is hoping to use them as
the nucleus of a strong building program for next year. The Husky
wrestlers will compete in nine meets including the State Teachers College Wrestling Championships which will be held at Lock Haven STC
in February.
QUICK PICK-UPS
Dr. W. Glenn Killinger recorded his third undefeated, untied season
as West Chester's coach and it was West Chester's fifth perfect season.
Coach Killinger, the last of the STC "veteran " mentors , has an all-time
record of 133 wins, 35 losses and 11 ties in 20 seasons. STC teams won
21, lost 20 and tied 1 against non-conference liberal art college teams
during the 1957 season.

The 1957 footb all season at BSTC

showing that the Husky gridders
made will not be forgotten.
The BSTC won-lost record was
nothing to brag about (2-5) , but a
few facts have to be taken into consideration befor a true analysis can
be given. First, there were inju ries
to such stalwarts as George
Chaump, Bobby Rohm, and Woody
Rhoads. Second, this was Coach
Blair 's first year at the helm, and
finally , as Coach Blair pointed out,
there was the lack of prior varsity
competition.
The Huskies first game with Lock
Haven showed the lack of game experience, and the frequent fumbling
proved to be the deciding factor in
Lo ck Haven 's 13-6 victory . Next,
they encountered a good Delaware
Sfate team, and once again, with
seven fumbles, the Husikes went
down to defeat by a 13-0 score. The
third game proved to be just as disillusioning as the Huskies bowed to
a powerful Cortland eleven by a
score of 42-12.
Finally, after the Cortland game,
Bloomsburg came into its own.
Sparkling offense and fine defensive
play stood out in the remaining four
games as the Huskies managed to
sweep two victories. BSTC began
the rejuvenation by trouncing the
Mountaineers of Mansfield 33-6.
Next came a heartbreaking Homecoming loss to Shippensburg by a
20-19 score. The Huskies bounced
back after this loss, trimming the
Vulcans from California 26-12. The
final game of the season was with
the powerf ul Rams of West Chester.
The Huskies climaxed the season
with a terrific showing against the
highly favored Rams, but came out
on the short end of a 13-7 seor©,
Bloomsburg failed to capitalize on
one scoring opportunity as they lost
the ball inches short of the goal line.
As the game ended, the Rams intercepted a Bloomsburg pass in the
end zone that ended another Husky
drive, allowing West Chester to go
home with the victory.
Coach Walter Blair sums up the
season this way. "!Despite our poor
won-lost record, this was the finest
group of fellows and ballplayers I
have ever been associated with.
Their all-out effort and desire to
win rates them as high as any other
group. With a few breaks in their
favor, they could have been an outstanding ball club."
So, as we reminisce, we remember the brilliant running of Eddie
Watts , Jo nah Goobi c, Bike Bottorf ,
Gerry Wood, and Bobby Rohm, the
accurate passing of John Oustrich
and Oz zie Snyder , the sure-fingered
pass catching of Maurie Schultz and
Stan Covington , the rugged line
play of Frank Prusch, George
Choump, Tom Vaxmonsky, Leo
Mulholl and Chick DeFebo. Not to
be overlooked was the valuable advice, instruction , and planning of
Coach Blair and Russell Houk. Also,
remember the part played by the
managers and statisticians.
Two Bloomsburg STC Huskies
were named to the second team of
the Seventh Annual State Teachers
College Conference All-Star teams
as selected by the coaches through out the conference. The two BSTC
players named to the second team
were Eddie Watts, senior halfback ,
and Carl DeFebo, senior tackle.

Now that the 1957 football season
has come to an end, wrestling, along
with basketball, shares the athletic
spotlight here at BSTC. First year
coach, Russell Houk , is extremely
enthusiastic about the Husky matmen and their chances for success
in league and tournament competiti on.
Coach Houk is not making any
predictions ; but , when asked how
his wrestlers are shaping up, he
said , "It 's a young, enthusiastic
squad , with a lot of potential."
There are thirty boys trying to
make the squad , twelve freshmen ,
eleven sophomores, four juniors,
and three seniors. Eleven of the
players are returning lettermen
and consequently, most of the squad
is inexperienced in college competition.
Most of the starting berths on
the squad are being competed for
with great enthusiasm and Coach
Houk said that he could not name
one starter until the eliminations
are held December 11 and 12.
The first match is with Shippensburg on January 8 at home. One of
t he big events of the season will be
the Huskies competing in the
Wilkes Tournament on December
27 and 28. This is the largest A.A.U.
tournament in the country and
every major college in the East will
participate. Coach Houk feels sure
that entering the tournament will
provide the team with excellent experience.
Wrestling is unique in the tact
t hat the coach does not pick the
team ; the boys eliminate each
other. Competing for starting roles
on the squad are returning letterrnon Jack Chideser, Stan Elinsky,
Jim Garman , George O'Connell,

Huskies Seek First Win
In Kings Contest
This evening, December 12, at
8:30 , the Husky cagers invade
Wilkes-Barre where they will meet
the Kings College quintet in what
should prove to be one of the most
interesting games on Bloomsburg 's
schedule.
The Huskies will be out for revenge after suffering two setbacks
at the hands of Kings last year. In
the first meeting between the two
clubs last season Kings managed to
Hu sky Cagers Bow

hit the century mark in scoring, but
in the second game, played at Centennial gym, they just barely managed to eke out a victory, as Bob
Boyle kept their scoring ace, Wallace, in check throughout most of
the game.
Kings had a very successful 195657 season sporting a 15-5 record.
They will be strong again this year
although they will be without the
services of their high scoring forward, Wallace, who averaged 30.8
points per game.
Returning lettermen include Fosko, who is captain of the squad
and a great floorman and playmaker. Back for another year are
Simon and Davis who are always
tough under the boards. Rounding
out the starting five will be Hpban
and Bauchman who always turn in
outstanding performances. An interesting sidelight is the fact that
the five starters played basketball
in local high schools in the WilkesBarre area.
The Husky cagers should prove to
be a good match for Kings after
their first test of the season against
Kutztown State Teachers College
last Wednesday. Schaeffer and Snyder will give Simon and Davis plenty of competition under the boards
and with Swisher and Gustave scoring at will and Boyle displaying his
fine defensive talents, Kings can be
sure to expect a very tough evening.
The BSTC cagers suffered their
second setback in as many games

After an even battle throughout

the Red Raiders came to life in the
early second half with Schmit and

Huskies were unable to match the
stunning accuracy of the Shippensburg five.

Sports Supremacy
Important in USSR
The Soviet Union's drive for
world supremacy in sports is part of
a "sports and physical fitness boom
with an importance in Soviet life
which is unparalleled anywhere else
in the world today," according to
the December 2nd issue of Sports
Illustrated writer Jerry Cooke.
The most import ant reason for
t his boom , as stated by Mr. Cooke,
is the obvious one that the government support s it. Added to this is
the fact th at the universal eight
hour work day leaves plenty of time
for leisure ; the people have a passion for mass activity ; and excellent
facilities are available at no cost.
The writer was impressed by the
endless amount of practicing he saw
everywhere—i n gyms, in pools , in
th cparks. He met a man who was
em ployed as a "physical culture superintendent and whose whole j ob
was planning and supervising exercises in one factory.
Mr. Cooke found millions of Russians participating in every sort of
sport including tennis, steeplechasing, basketb a ll , and sailing. Individualistic sports as hunting and fishing are popular, according to the article , but they seem to be practiced
evasively because they are at odds
with the collective character of
Soviet life and are not government
sponsored,
Cooke says that participants
seemed "withdrawn , concentrated ,
even grim at their games, often as
much so as their top athletes in international contest." He felt that
nobody seemed to be enjoying themselves and that sport is , in fact , j ust
another j ob to be done.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (I.P.) — The

use at the University features a
shorter spring vacation, shorter
final exam weeks and a revised be-
The festive dinner by candlelight,
held prior to the Thanksgiving holidays, will long be remembered by
all. The Christmas dinner which is
being planned should please both
faculty and students. These meals,
as well as the regular meals, are
planned a week in advance, and are
designed with forethought as to nutritional value, balance, interest
and color scheme.
With such a vast improvement in
both quality and service BSTC
takes pride in its College Commons.
For the first time in the history
of Bloomsburg, the dining facilities
are being operated by a catering
service. Milton W. "Scotty " Wood ,
of Allentown , has built a small business endeavor into a top food organization. Apart from catering for
BSTC , the Wood organization holds
contracts for food service at Lehigh
University, Cedar Crest College,
Kutztown State Teachers College,
and many large business concerns.
The company employs managers to
supervise every meal, chefs, cooks,
kitchen helpers, dishwashers, waitr esses , office personnel, and truck
drivers.
Through the combined efforts of
Mr. Bierly and Mr. Sellers, two men
of exceptional managing ability, the
College Commons has earned a reputation for excellent food and service. This operation is similar to the
assembly line of any large business
concern , each employee having his
own area for his particular job.
Another innovation in the dining
hall this year is our own baker, Mr.
Paul, who has surprised the students and faculty with such treats
as home made breads and pastries.
Meal time in the modern Commons refle cts anticipation of good
food, an attractive dining room, and
a relaxing atmosphere. From the
stainless steel stoves and sinks to
the comfortable lounge adjacent to
the dining room, the Commons emphasizes up-to-date design for modern living.

The result is more efficiency in

Final week will be shortened rrom

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (I.P.) — All
examinations, term papers, reports,
laboratory work, and all homework

only past examinations. The faculty
has been instructed to inform the
students if they feel cooperative

Statisticia ns Men
Behind the Scenes

A maj or factor in the success of
college sports is the part played by
the statisticians. Bud Sheridan and
Joe Zapach do the statistics work
at BSTC.
Their duties consist mainly of
compiling statistics in football ,
baseball, and basketball for the
NCAA and the Pennsylvania State
Teachers College Conference. The
j ob they do is not only necessary to
STC public relations but it is a valuable help to the coaches of these
three sports. For instance, suppose
a coach wanted to evaluate the abilities of a certain football player . By
looking at the charts of statistics
that Bud and Joe have made, a player's offensive and defensive abilities , number of tackles he made ,
and the number of yards he gained
rushing can be ascertained. Likewise, in baseball and basketball, a
'coach can determine whether or not

this step will decidedly improve the
quality of the program offered to
prospective teachers.
The board also gave its approval
to a faculty recommendation that
candidates for admission be required to present scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test, both verbal and
mathematical sections. In past
years , Wilmington has conducted
its own pre-testing.
Officer Procurement representatives of the U. S. Marine Corps will
conduct student interviews here on
December 12.
Captain G. J. DeLong, USMC, officer in charge, announced that applications will be considered for the
Marines' Platoon Leaders Class and
for the Offi cer Candidate Course.
Both are reserve officer training
programs which lead to a commission in either ground or aviation
component s of the Corps.
The Platoon Leaders Class is offered to male freshmen, sophomores , and j uniors who want to
serve as an officer with the Marine
Corps after graduation . Commissions are earned by training at
Marine Corps Schools, Quantico,
Virginia, during the summer for a
total of two six-week periods. Applications may be made for either
the ground or aviation commissions.
The Officer Candidate Course,
which is designed for seniors and
recent graduates, consists of ten
weeks of precommissioning training at Quantico following graduation.
According to Captain DeLong,
current officer agreements establish an active duty tour of three
years of ground officers and two
years (after a 15 to 18 months
flight course) for pilots.
He listed as general qualifications
for the programs : United States
citizenship between the ages of 17
and 26, sound physical and mental
health ; at least a "C" average, and
leadership potential.
Marines on Camp us
The U. S. Marine Corps has announced an Officer Candidate
Course for mid-year graduates
which convenes at Quantico, Virginia, on March 24th.
The 10-week O.C.S. results in a

active duty for the ground officer
and two years after flight school

EVEN A CHILD bv CAROL GREENE
The Day After New Year 's
All that day he sat there like many before ,
His arms were all cramped and his back, Oh, so sore!
The belt was too tight, and the britches too short,
The mustache and beard were the long scratchy sort.
His knees were near broken from children who sat
Upon them for hours, both skinny and fat.
A department store Santa Claus that's what he was
And he hated the children, the fuss and the buzz.
But uppermost in mind lay the profit it brought,
And money, more money was what he had sought.
'Twas the day after New Year's and all through the house
All the creatures had hangovers — even the mouse.
The children were admonished not to make noise
And sat meekly playing with sound-proofed toys.
And Ma in her housecoat and Dad still abed
Were moaning and wishing that they could be dead.
Then up on his knee climbed a dear little girl,
With dimples so merry and hair all a curl ;
She crept very close and then into his ear
Whispered quite gently words that were dear.
"You see, I' ve a Papa who says you're not real."
He says, "Christmas Spirit's not something you feel,
But a great lot of nonsense to put it quite plain ;
And those who believe it are really not sane.
But Santa, please don't think my Papa 's not good,
He's bought me each doll and each dress that he could.
Bu t nev er, not once, has he said a kind word,
And all he will say to my thoughts is 'absurd'.
So, Santa, I ask you to put into his heart.
The love and goodwill that is Christmas in part."
She clutched his hand tightly, then scampered away,
Trusting all to dear Santa till that Christmas Day.
When out on the porch there arose such a clanging,
The celebrants felt that their eyeballs were banging.
They crawled to the window, for they were not hardy,
Tore open the shutters — threw up — what a party !

The Melancholy Lackluster
From the December NEA Journal—Natural habitat is a rut. Hasn 't
varied its fligh t pattern in years.
Classes generate excitement of a
dish of warm jello. Most important
classroom furniture is a clock which
it watches closely. Would be j ust
as happy selling hardware.
ANNOUN CEMENT
A BSTC sophomore, Gary Zimmerman, became engaged to Barbara Elaine Trump of Harrisburg on
November 17, 1957.
A tear found its way down the mean, stubborn face.
The heart once so cold was no longer the case,
For this curly-haired girl was his own little child,
And his heart , once so hard, stirred with love—and he smiled.
Lu says he caught his finger in
the Council door, but we know better.
The Man in the
Manhole . .
With the new year practically
upon us, your friendly, jovial roving
reporter is here with this year's list
of resolutions. On my numerous excursions around the campus I came
in contact with many bright eager
young students j ust bursting with
good cheer and resolutions.
Judy Witmyer: I resolve to try to
get out of the dormitory more often and be more active socially. I
have been studying much too
hard.
Ginny Hardy: Stop being a curve
breaker in all Dr. Bahlke's literature tests.
Whitey Farrow: I resolve to stop
dating girls in 1957 and start taking out women.
Lu Natter :Resolved — to stop stepping on my fingers.
Dean Hoch: I resolve to have fewer
freshmen on the probation list.
(He'll do it one way or the other.
Frosh )
Mary Galatha: I resolve to let my
hair grow and dye it blonde and
never learn to swim or play tennis.
Frank Prusch: I resolve to spend
less time in the gymnasium parking lot.
Bob Gower: I don't have to make
any resolutions, I never do anything wrong.
Judy Moore: To change my curriculum to an accounting maj or.
Harold Giacomini: I resolve to take
at least five courses from Dr.
Seronsy next semester.
Joe Panichello: Resolved — to give
up parachute jumping.
Well, that's it for this year, lots of
luck on the resolutions and Merry
Christmas everyone!
The Old Philosopher
Hello ther e, friends, welcome back from Thanksgiving vacation. Don't
you just love being back All you ? had to do at home was eat, sleep,
drink, spend your folks ' money and go out with your lovers. Boring,
w asn't it ? ou say you're just as happy as can be, doing your four term
papers, six units, and taking your eight tests — so relaxing.
You say you need extra money — why not rent your pick-up truck to
the faculty for transporting term papers — usual school wage, however,
$.60 an hour.
You say your name is Tom Quigley and you 've celebrated your birthday four times this semester? Well, now that you're twenty-one, you
can join the Sunshine Club.
You say you finally got a job for the holidays helping Santa compile
his Christmas list: Dean Hoch, an IBM Schedule Maker; Dr. Seronsy,
complete works of Arthur Miller; Dr. Bahlke, subscription to Readers
Digest; Or. Selders, some "D" students; Dr. Herre, a gross of deficiency
slips; Mr. Stradtman, a new flashlight ; Miss Mettler, 1200 flu shots; Lu
Natter, a mirror; Cap Parry, an Oriental (rug, that is); Don Ker, sun
tan lotion; Ellen Drumtra, a date with Elvis Presley ; Mary Galatha, a
j ob on the Daily Worker ; Tom Fleck, a deck of pinochle cards; Student
Body, some passing grades; Freshmen, sophomore class membership;
Sophomores, more successful dances; Seniors, a good time in Washington.
You say you really enjoyed the Waller Hall Tea and think the Wood
Catering Service would make Elsa Maxwell green with envy, and speaking of tea, you'll be living on it now that your grades arrived before your
parents mailed your allowance check. We'll miss you at Hess'.
You say you feel brain washed because you belong to the Poetry Club
and Dr. Bahlke entertained you Tuesday night ; and you have Dr. Seronsy
for Pre-Shakespeare and he entertained your class. (Chaucer readers and
all) on Wednesday night. ( Even though the events were informative,
everyone still had a good time).
You say you are a business student and you're so glad you have one
social studies course this semester—now you 'll have something to do over
the Christmas holidays—a term paper. And Delores Regan, who seems to
be typing everyone's term paper, should get the golden award, "Miss
Term Paper Typist of '57."
You say you are a Freshman and you're learning the words to "Why
Don't They Understand" in anticipation of your probation meeting, but
you'll probably come out singing, "Blue Feeling." And you're wondering
what Ent's put in their coffee which makes certain people on campus enj oy it so much—we'll never rat—will we, Ed Adams ?
You say you used to room in Waller Hall and you went to see your old
room on Sunday and felt terrible seeing all those fancy, frilly curtains,
the neat, orderly appearance and a picture of another guy in your girlfriends room. You say you were disappointed , because they didn't give
an award for a room that looked "lived in ". Keef and Helen would have
coped first prize in this category—or was that the freight elevator we
were in? And in case you were planning to stay over vacation and do
some research, we remind you that the library won 't be open during
4-1.1 *. i-i^M *.

Well, folks, the Christmas Spirit seems to have taken hold of everyone, and the Old Philosopher 's are no exceptions. You young folks enjoy
yourselves over the holiday—live it up. Until we see you next year, this
is Razar Blade and Gas Pipe saying: Friends, it's not as bad as it seems.
So lift your head up high and take a walk in the sun, and say never give
up that ship! Smile, smile, smile!
THE CLINICIAN
"Mend your speech, lest it mar your fortunes." — King Lear
He's happy ; he 's worried he doesn't know all.
He studies and studies, just can 't grasp it all.
He's in and he's out as a room known as "E",
He scurries and flurries around like a bee.
*•
His clients are people, some old and some young.
He finishes work that's not even begun,
He wears a broad smilo that's quaint in a way,
But some of his thoughts he would rather,pot say.
Monday 's and Wednesday 's are days that are filled ,
With lessons and therapy requiring skill.
Tuesday 's and Thursday 's are days much the same;
When Friday arrives he is almost insane.
His work doesn't stop with the Friday nite bell,
There's Saturday clinic he attends just as well.
Audiometer, Voice, Articulation exams.
Testing and testing 'til he can hardly stand ,
At Saturday noon he's relieved of his plight,
Then Sunday arrives with such peace and delight.
Upon the pillow he rests his head,
Dreams of Monday and work ahead.

Shortage of
College Professors
A beginning deterioration in the
quality of college teaching staffs—
with science bearing the major
brunt—was reported in a new study
released in Washington received by
the National Education Association.
Research polls have shown that
fewer and fewer new doctor's degree graduates have been j oining
teaching ranks in colleges and universities even though the number of
those receiving doctorates is four
times greater than it was ten years
ago . Most of these new graduates
are turning their backs on teaching
and are taking j obs in business and
industry.
Science teaching is hardest hit,
with three out of every new Ph.D. 's
accepting lucrative j obs outside the
teaching profession.
The study also discusses possible
sources of college teachers and investigates the supply and demand of
administrative personnel in higher
education.

All-College Tea
Held December 8
The annual all college Christmas
Tea was held Sunday, December 8th
at 3:30 p.m. in the Waller Hall Lobby. Since this was the first tea to
be held in the Lobby this year, many
changes were observed from last
year 's teas. Along with the new setting, brand new ideas in decorations
and refreshments were introduced .
Mr. Sellers, of the College Commons, supplied the refreshments.
Elaborate state silver tea service
and candleabra were used for the
occasion. In the background, Christmas music added to the Yule spirit
felt by everyone in attendance. The
holiday dress of the students and
f aculty further added to the Christmas scene. Peggy Dragna was
chairman of the tea.
Preceding the tear open house was
held in Waller Hall. Because of the
College's bout with the flu during
Homecoming weekend . Open House
had been postponed until Sunday.
Many educators who are interested in foreign teaching positions wait
until it is too late to investigate the
opportunities available to them
overseas. As a result , they often
have to wait an entire year to complete their applications.
The Advancement and Placemen Instit u te , a non-commercial
professional and advisory service
for the field of education , has been
publicizing foreign teaching positions in its monthly non-f ee placement j ournal, CRUSADE , since
1952.
The Institute urges every American teacher who is able to do so to
take advantage of opportunities to
teach in foreign lands both for the
contribution they can make in interpreting our country abroad, and
for the enriching experiences in international understanding they can
bring to our students in this country upon their return to the schools
of the United States.

The Christmas dance is on its way,
And the only admission you must pay,
Is a little toy either old or new,
For some poor, little child, directly from you.
So come one, come all , and spread some joy
To some underprivileged little girl or boy.

The place Husky Lounge, so don't dare be late.

Value of Teaching
Abroad Explained
"Peace on earth, good will
toward men" is all very well, but
another sound philosophy is "peace
on earth to men of good will". A
man of good will is a rare item in
our time. Probably because the
sincere man of good will is so faithful , open-hearted, and unselfish
that he is unwilling to be credited
for anything he does. The world
may never appreciate his goodness,
but God takes care of his children,
and the man of good will shall
have peace on earth and rewards
in Heaven. During the holiday season we are reminded that life holds
much happiness for the one who
takes more pleasure in giving than
in receiving. Maybe 1958 shall be
your year for having more "Peace
on earth" because you were a
"man of good will."
