Welco me Back to a Progress ive Bloo msbur g
Welcome, alumni, to a Bloomsburg that has been rapidly expanding since you graduated. Many new
things have been added in recent
years and many more are on the
schedule. President Harvey Andruss expect an enrollment of 2,000
by 1962 and BSTC is well on the
way with a possible enrollment of
1300-1400 for the coming Septem ber semester.
An approved campus plan for the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
provides for an optimum enrollment of 2,000 students, of which
1,200 or 1,300 will live in college
dormitories and in the Town of
Bloomsburg, and about half that
number will commute daily from
their homes.
This plan divides the campus into
three areas, the first area beginning at Penn Street and ending at
Spruce Street, bounded on the two
other sides by Light Street Road
and East Second Street, will contain administration building, heating plant, men 's dormitories, women's dormitories, dining hall, maintenance building, and laundry. This
is the living area.
The second area, Spruce to
Chestnut Street, bounded on the
other two sides by Light Street
Road and East Second Street , will
f u nd of $1,000,000 appropriated by
Of the present enrollment of 1,200 only 500 live on campus, with
300 in the Town of Bloomsburg,
and the remainder commuting distances up to forty miles each day.
Applicants for admission are
from two to three times greater
than the number that - can be accommodated. With a faculty of
only 60 for 1,200 students, the ratio of one instructor to 20 students
should be reduced to 15 students
per teacher, which means that the
number of faculty should be increased by twenty.
All this costs money. With $33,000,000 to be spent in the next year to educate 16,000 students in Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges,
the students and their parents are
paying almost half the cost with
the State appropriation of $17,000,000. This means that the State is
expending only $533 per year per
teacher educated.
If Pennsylvania is going to have
enough teachers for its schools as
its population of 6 to 18 year olds
increases, we must educate more
teachers and pay higher salaries in
Pennsylvania to prevent teachers
college graduates from going to
other states.
contain the classrooms, library, and
auditorium, as well as the Centennial Gymnasium. This is the learning area.
The Athletic and Recreational
area is bounded by Light Street
Road and Chestnut Streets , and at
the present time is now largely
farm land near the President's
House. In this area, a field house
will be built so as to be accessible
to parking areas, football field ,
baseball diamond and running
track.
One building, the College Commons (dining room, kitchen and
storage building) has been constructed, and funds have been allocat ed for two ot her buildin gs, a
men 's dormitory to be constructed
in 1958 on the sites now occupied
by the old barn and the caretaker 's
cottage, which will be demolished.
This building will cost $1,000,000
when fully equipped.
A new classroom building to contain six Science Laboratories on the
first floor and eight classrooms for
the Department of Business Educat ion on the second floor , costing
more than $500,000 will be constructed in 1958 on a site of three
of the present tennis courts near
the Centennial Gymnasium.
In order of construction, the next
buildings are an Auditorium to accommodate 2,000 students, located
at the end of Spruce Street, with
the back of the building to Light
Street Road , and a Library to house
100,000 volumes to be located on
the site of the present baseball diamond facing downtown Bloomsburg.
At the present time, the old dining room space has been renovated
to provide Library facilities until a
new Library Building is built. Book
stacks to accommodate 50,000 volumes are located in the old kitchen
and storage areas, and the second
floor space in Waller Hall, formerly used for Library, is being rebuilt
to provide dormitory capacity for
25 or 30 students. This area will
be available for use by September,
1958.
The over-all plan, subj ect to the
provision of funds by future Legislatures, provides for two women's
dormitories in addition to the present women 's dormitory, a second
men's dormitory, a maintenance
building, two additional classroom
buildings, and a field house.
The over-all plan assumed that
land will need to be purchased, and
the General State Authority has recently allocated $125,000 from a
the 1957 Legislature for the purchase of land for the use of the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
The Local Board of Trustees has
passed a resolution favoring the
purchase of land bounded by or adj acent to the present campus before other land acquisitions are
made.
Without detailing the general
picture of bulging college enrollments, President Andruss points
out that the present enrollment of
the college is double that of the average enrollment preceding World
War II. An enrollment of 1,200 is
being accommodated only by reducing the quality of educational service. With the Carver Hall Auditorium seating less than 900, it is impossible to have all students together for weekly assemblies.
While some use can be made of the
Centennial Gymnasium for this
purpose, it is not available during
Basketball Season. Classes are being scheduled through the noon
hour so that the class day may end
at four o'clock, otherwise 400 students would have to travel after
sundown over roads that would become icy and dangeous during winter months.

Nineteen members of the class of
1958 were presented Service Keys
Wednesday at the annual Honor
Assembly held in Carver Auditorium. The keys, the highest award
made by the college to its students,
are awarded each year for outstanding service to the college community ". Dr. John Serff presented
the group to Dr. Harvey Andruss
who made the awards to the following : Paul Anderson, Norman Balchunas, Rose Coulter, Gerald Donmoyer, Mary Galatha, Mary Grace,
Ray Hargreaves, Betta Hoffa, Walter Hutz, Teresa Julio, Eloise Kaminski, Catherine Kerl, Deanna Morgan , Luther Natter, Sarah Ridgeway, Mrs. Annette Roush, William
Sheridan, Constantine Spentzas
and Nancy Suwalski. Preceding the
presentation or service Keys J->r.
Andruss presented "Who's Who"
certificates to seventeen Seniors.
These students had previously been
designated by college officials as
outstanding students whose names
were to be included in the annual
publication Who's Who In American Universities and Colleges,
Lifetime passe to all college athletic events, given for four years of
participation in a varsity sport ,
were given to: Paul Anderson, Robert Boyle, Carl DeFebo, James
Gustave, Charles Loughery, James
Snyder , Edward Watts, and Gerald
Wood.
A policy originating from the
Board of State Teachers College
Presidents has been developed to
permit more local independence for
each of the fourteen state teachers
colleges in the state of Pennsylvania. This independence is concerned
with the revision of the college calendar, the curriculum, and the fees
of each individual college.
Previously each college was uniformly ' organized ; but beginning
with the 1959-60 term the colleges
will develop their own calendar, revise their own courses and determine their entrance fees.
The new curriculum will be based
on two requirements as set forth in
the bulletin from the Board of Presidents. There must be a minimum
number of semester hours in general education, professional education, and specialization, plus electives. The minimum requirements
for certification as determined by
the State Council of Education and
approved by the Department of
Public Instruction must be met.
As a basis for this change our
faculty is now studying all course
offerings to determine the general
nature of the course in relation to
its position in general education,
professional education, and speciala Pennsylvania writer, an d h er own ization. Dean Hoch stated that thisi
art icle, "Are You Afraid of Crea- faculty committee will then plan.
tive Art" recently appeared in a for a general revision of all curricnational magazine,
ulums offered by the college.

Miss Edna J* Hazen, Director of
Elementary Education Retires
A teaching career of four decades
in schools and colleges of Pennsylvania will be climaxed in May with
the retirement of Miss Edna J. Hazen, Director of Elementary Education and Principal of the Benj amin
Franklin Laboratory School, at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Miss Hazen jo ined the college
staff in 1927 as Director of Intermediate Education, was appointed
Director of Elementary Education
i n 1940, and Laboratory Principal
in 1943.
Miss Hazen began her education
in the public schools of Erie County,
her birthplace, and later completed
graduation requirements at the
Edinboro State Normal School. She
has earned the Bachelor of Science
and Master of Arts degrees at
Teachers College, Columbia University, and has studied at Allegheny College and New York University.
A rural school in Erie County
was her first teaching assignment ,
followed by positions in Elk Creek
Township High School and in a
Cleveland, Ohio, elementary school.
Miss Hazen served for a year as a

critic teacher and junior hi gh
school principa l at the Edinfcorq
Normal School, and complete } a
four-year appointment as Assistant
Superintendent of Erie County
Schools before coming to Bloomsburg. She has taught during college
summer sessions at Edinboro and
Slippery Rock in Pennsylvania , and
spent one summer on the faculty of
the University of North Carolina.
Her teaching career has been
supplemented by active participation in many professional and community organizations and activities.
She has served as President of the
Faculty Association at the College,
as Secretary of the Teacher Education Section of the Northeastern
Convention District of the P.S.E.A.
as a speaker at sectional meetings
and state conventions of the
P.S.E.A., and a member of the state
committee of the Future Teachers
of America. For many years, she
has been a member of the Pennsylvania State Education Association , the National Education Association , and the American Association of University Women. She is a
charter member of Sigma Chapter
of Delta Kappa Gamma, a national
honorary organization for women
leaders in education , served as its
president for two years, and is currently a member of the State Committee on Fellowships and Scholarships. Many of her former college students remember her as their
teacher in the College Girls' Class
at the Methodist Church.
For more than twenty years,
Miss Hazen has made trips by auto,
boat, and plane to Canada , the Caribbean Islands, South America,
and the British Isles. During her
sabbatical leave several years ago,
she spent three months traveling
through the Middle East and the
islands of Rhodes, Crete, and Cyprus. By means of colored slides
and lectures, she has shared her
travel experiences with numerous
groups.
Miss Hazen was honored recently
at a dinner meeting of the College
Faculty Association. She plans to
continue her interest and work in
education when she goes to California in September.
Bloomburg is definitely a pro- 1
gressive college. Evidence of this
can be seen everywhere, in various
departments, in enrollments, and
improved buildings on campus.
The most recent development is
the new location of the college library. The library was formerly located on second floor of Waller
Hall. With the construction of the
College Commons, the former dining area was renovated to serve as
the site of the library.
With the cooperation of the student library staff , th e m ain t enan ce
crew, and the college students, the
moving of books was accomplished
in three days. The procedure was
under the organization and direction of the librarians Miss Keefer,
Miss Reams, Mrs. McNeal and the
Dea n of Men , Mr. Blair. The moving is now completed with the exception of some bound volumes
which are in storage.
Approximately 100% more shelving space is now available and the
card catalogue is double in size.
This provides for the expansion of
library facilities. One of the new
features is the partitioned j uvenile
section. A folding door is provided
which will be used when pupils
from the training school utilize the
library. All magazines are now
placed on horizont al racks which
makes location of the issues easier.
Both collective and individual biography are in open stacks. Tables
are located near the center for the
exclusive use of periodical indexes.
A large atlas stand is also among
the new features.
Another addition is tne drinking
fountain which is now being connected. Picture and pamphlet files
are ordered and new furnit ure has
been requisitioned. For the returning of materials when the library
is closed, a book bin will be used.
Materials are deposited in the door
slot at the main entrance and will
drop into the bin .
These features plus the large
windows and glass doors, flo urescent lighting, peaceful decor and
the absence of class bells provide a
relaxing atmosphere for study. The
only outside noises which will disturb this will be the fire alarm
bells.
Improvements have also been
made in the work areas. More spacious and adequate conditions facilitate maintenance of library materials. Individu al offices for the librarians, a lavatory, and storage
rooms have also been added.
New Contr ibution
byM. A. THORNTON
Late in the year 1957 Random
House published the DICTIONARY
OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN USAGE. The authors are Bergen Evans and his sister, Cor deli a
Evans, who have had extensive experience in teaching, writing and
editing. They have designed this
dictionary for people who speak
standard English but are uncertain
about seme details. They attempt
to list some questions which are
most frequently asked about what
is now good practice, and to give
the best answers available. The
Evans' operate on the principle that
one can use good English without
understanding the mechanics.
Information given in the individual word order entries is derived
partly frrom the OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY, the sevenvolume grammar of Otto Jespersen,
and the works of Charles Fries.
However, forms used by the great
writers of English are preferred to
the forms found only in technical
j ournals.
Examples used in this novel dictionary are taken from present-day
speech and writing. Many cliches
are given. "Tarred with the same
brush ", "let the cat out of the bag",
"lend an ear", and "every mother's
son " are j ust a few. The authors
have this to say about the shopworn phrase "something rotten in
the state of Denmark"—"it . . .
gives off a faint odor of decay all
Ifo nwv * "
There is a very interesting and
amusing discussion of the word
"semantics" in the Evans' book. It
is traced from its origin with Korzybski to its present-day use by
Harry Truman (speaking of an imaginary cabinet), "I have appointed
a Secretary of Semantics—a most
important post, He is to tell me how
to say yes and no in the same sentence without a contradiction. Ho
Is to tell me the combination of
words that will put me against inflation in San Francisco and for it
in New York. "
Related words are listed on the
some line. Discussions are In sentence form , not in the brief phrases
usually found in dictionaries. The
words "scull" an d "skull" are listed

spacious work room provides'ample space for maintainance of books.
The desk of the secretary is located in this area.
Juvenile section features low shelves for the convenience of children
using the facilities of the library. A large folding door separates this
section from the main library and will be closed when students from the
training school visit the library.
Alumni to Decide
Fate of Roongo
Since the Alumni Association
gave up the custody of Roongo over
six months ago, there has been a
continual controvsersy over what
was to happen to our mascot. Different organizations on campus offered to take care of the dog, and
many other plans have been proposed for his keeping, but all plans
have met with disapproval. For the
past six months Roongo has been
fed by generous donors who have
an interest in our mascot, but his
main diet has been scraps from the
dining room. At the present time
the future of Roongo is still unknow n , and the question is to be
put before the Alumni Asociation
at their annual meeting today.

side by side. The complete definition of "scull" is given , followed by
a paragraph in which "skull" is defined. Another section reads , "Scull
was so named from the dishlike
shape of the spoon-bladed oar.
Skull may be derived from the
same word (escuelle, dish , from the
Latin scutela). Related words are
scullion (but not scullery) and skillet," This method of word ordering
acquaints us with related words we
migh t otherwise ignore.
A DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN. USAGE is a
guide to current English. It deals
with both British and American usage, but alwavs from the viewpoint
of the American speaker. I think
this is the main reason why this
dictionary will prove to be a very
valuable source of Information.

.. SPORTS HI-LITES ..
by Jim Wagner
Shelly, Blair and Houk Guide Athletic
' Teams Throu gh Successful Sports Season
Welcome back alumni ! The sports department of the Maroon and
Gold extends their sincerest wishes for a pleasant and enjoyable day at
the friendly college on the hill. Those of you who have gone before us
now return and exclaim how much things have changed since your college days. True, several things have changed , a new dining hall and
library have been added to the college's facilities, the entire Waller Hall
is now devoted to the girls' dormitory , and there have been several other
changes.
But one thing that changed the least, if a t all, is Bloomsburg s participation in athletics, by not only the players and coaches , but by the
entire student body. Many of you will recall the rousing pep rallies
bef ore the annual meeting of West Chester on Mt. Olympus. By this I
mean, we still uphold the traditiona l BSTC spirit; the spirit which carried the past , the piaesent, and will continue to carry the future Husky
athletic squads to many victories. This is something for which you, the
alumni , have reason to be proud. For it was you that started this motivating feeling and helped continue it , until it was deeply engrained
as part of the college mores. We are proud of our heritage and you can
rest assured that this spirit will not die for many, many years to come
here at Bloomsburg STC.
The core of the athletic program has not changed too much during
the past several decades. We have dropped some sports such as soccer
and cross-country, but in their place we have picked up such ever increasing sports as wrestling and a new intramural sport , bowling.
Speaking of intramurals, as you walk past the Navy Hall Track field
the tenn is cou rt , Mt. Olympus and Centennial Gymnasium you will
probably recall your days in intramural softball , basketball and football. As was in the past, this is the chief pastime for students on campu s
other than their frequent Saturday afternoon visits to the famous
Bloomsburg Sand and Gravel Cmpany.
What I have been trying to point out in the precedin g paragraphs is
that although changes in sports may seem radical to you, they actually
aren 't; it is merely a newer way of doing older things.
FOOTBALL
The future of the BSTC grid squad had far from cheerful implications for the new head coach, Walter Blair, as he was faced with the
task of drilling the most inexperienced team since the end of Wcrld
War II. However, despite the loss of seasoned veterans, the Huskies
came through with a record of two wins, three losses, and one tie to
cop seventh place in the State Teachers College Conference with a 150
ratine.
The first three encounters, which were played on foreign soil, proved
disastrous for the win-hungry gridders as they bowed to Lock Haven,
Delaware St a te , and Cortland. The initial, long-awaited victory of the
season saw the Huskies come through in fine style with a 33-6 win over
Mansfield , to put a damper on their Homecoming festivities. The smiles
turned to groans, however, as, in turn , a damper was put on our own
Homecoming festivities by Shippensburg, as they edged us out, 20-19.
The Kings game, which was scheduled to be played at the Bloomsburg
Athletic Park was cancelled because of the flu epidemic. The Huskies
unleashed a fury of touchdowns when they defeated the Vulcans from
California on Mt. Olympus, 26-12. In the traditional game with West
Chester, the odds were again against the Huskies as they battled valiantly before losing, 13-7.
Final statistics for the season showed the Huskies scoring 10 touchdowns to their opponents 15, and gaining 1353 yds. to their opponents
1285. The breakdown, according to ground, air, and punting yardage,
showed Eddie Watts the leading ground gainer with 526 yds., Johnny
Oustrich compiling 402 yds. to lead the Huskie air attack, and St a n
Covington punting a total of 912 yards.
Eddie Watts, senior halfback , and Carl DeFebo, senior t ackle , wer e
named to the second team of the Seventh Annual State Teachers College
Pr\nforon/ifl
BASKETBALL
Coach Harold Shelly had only eight returning lettermen out of
which to mold the nucleus of his cage squad , but as always, he and his
boys had a banner season, coming through with 10 wins and 6 losses.
Getting off to a slow start, the Husky courtmen won 7 out of their
last 9 games. Bill Swisher was the high man for the season with 345
points, while Jim Gustave was a close second with 339 markers.
W RESTLING
Coach Houk's pre-season prediction for his grappling squad sounded
like this: "It 's a young enthusiastic squad with plenty of Potential."
Potential , indeed! Not only did his squad come through with an enviable 5-2 won-lost slate, but it succeeded in renewing the interest in
the mat sport here at BSTC. Attendance records in many instances
outnumbered the basketball attendance tally.
Led by James Garman, our All-State Wrestler, the Husky grapplers
scored wins over Shippensburg, Indiana , East Stroudsburg, Lincoln, and
Lycoming, while suffering only two setbacks at the hands of Millersville and Lock Haven. German , Rohm, and Rimple enjoye d undefeated
seasons.
In post-season competition , the Huskies also came through in fine
style, coping third place in the State Teachers College Tournament. In
the Four "I" Tournament, held in Cleveland, Dick Rimple was the top
point getter, taking third place.
Coach Houk's first year as head wrestling coach was a profitable one.
His sincere interest in the mat sport will manifest itself in a bigger and
better wrestling program for BSTC.
Huskies Defeat
Kutztown Nine
The Huskies gained revenge on
the Golden Avalanche from Kutztown State Teachers College by defeating them 10-6, last Thursday on
Mt. Olympus. The Franklin brothers, Dale and Paul, combined their
efforts to subdue their opponents ,
who had defeated the Huskies 7-5
at Kutztown earlier in the season.
Kutztown drsw firs t blood in the
second inning when Yaklick walked
and Dunkleberger was safe on a
sacrifice, A bunt moved both runners up and then Bob Kauffman
collected the first of his three hits
to drive in two runs. Bloomsburg
quickly erased the lead in the third
inning on a combination of hits,
walks, and KSTC misplays. Bob
Boyle 's bases loaded single was the
big blow in the four run uprising,
After going ahead in the third , the
Huskies never trailed thereafter as
they added a single run in the
fourth , two in the sixth and three
insurance runs in the bottom of the
eighth. Kutztown 's other runs came
in the fourth , highlighted by a tremendous three run homer by Kauffman.
Tiger DeNoy and Johnny Oustrich were the leading batsmen for
the Huskies as they collected three
hits apiece. Kauffman led Kutztown in a losing cause with three
solid base hits.

Rodents Capture
Softball Title
Because of inclement weather
conditions, the softball intramurals
suffered many cancellations this
season. Due to these postponements
a "sudden death" schedule was proposed with the two top teams destined to meet in a three game series
to decide the championship.
The two teams that ended up "on
top of the heap" were the Unknowns and last year 's defending
champions, The Rodents. Both
teams were at full strength for the
first encounter, but the Rodents
proved to be superior at bat and in
the field as they came out on top
with a 9 to 3 victory. The second
game, the Unknowns knew that
they had to-win "to stay alive ". Bob
Leis and Paul Anderson settled
down to a tight pitching duel, but
sloppy fielding on the part of the
Unknowns proved to be the deciding factor as Paul Anderson and the
Rodents walked off with a 4 to 2
victory and the championship for
the second consecutive year,

Throughout the country, athletics continues to hold the spotligh t in college life. The same is
true here at Bloomsburg, as we are
quite proud of our football, basketball, baseball, wrestling and track
teams. However, everyone likes to
have a winning team, and in order
to have a winning team it is necessary to have good, responsible, intelligent coaching. Once again
Bloomsburg comes through in flying colors , as Husky fans are quite
proud of their coaches as well as
their teams.
Our senior mentor here at the
State Teachers College is our head
basketball and track coach, Mr.
Harold Shelly. Mr. Shelly came to
Bloomsburg at the beginning of the
1949-50 season and has been coaching Husky athletes for the past
eight years. His other athletic endeavors include assistant football
coach and trainer. Mr. Shelly has
always enjoyed winning seasons
here at the college and is one of the
most popular men on campus. During this year 's campaigns, Shelly 's
basketball squad enjoyed a 10 and
6 won lost record while his track
team won 2, while suffering 3 setbacks.
Serving his first year as head
football coach, Walter Blair worked with a "green" team to give
Husky f ans many thrills during the
gridiron season. Although the record shows that we won only two
games while losing five, it does not
give the true history of the campaign. The Huskies lost many hard
fought battles, j ust because of inexperience and a few costly "bad
breaks ", besides being plagued with
inj u ries throughout the season.
Next year Blair hopes to turn some
of those close losses into hard earned victories. Coach Blair also took
over the chores of Pr, Wagner as
head baseball coach this season.
After getting off to a slow start because of inclement weather, the
Huskies came through with flying
colors as the season progressed,
with a fine 7-5 overall record. Coming to Bloomburg in 1955 as assistant football coach under Jack Yohe,
Mr. Blair has come to know the
men of the campus quite personally,
as he also took over t he office of
Dean of Men. Well liked and respected, everyone is pulling for
Blair to come through with winning teams in next year 's campaigns.
Serving in the capacity of head
wrestling coach, is Mr. Russell
Houk. This is Mr. Houk's first year
on campus, and already the Husky
grapplers under the tutoring of
Houk had a winning season of five
victories against two defeats. Besides his duties as wrestling coach,
Mr. Houk serves as assistant football coach and is the Director of
Athletics here at the college .

Teachers Colleges
Need Increas ed Aid
A recent survey of three of the
Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges, located at Bloomsburg, Millersville, and Shippensburg, made
by a feature writer of the Hirrisburg Patriot-News, disclosed the
need for increased State appropriations, particularly in the construction of new buildings, and the proper maintenance of old ones.
State Teachers Colleges differ
from one another as do individuals .
Although the State supports them
through tax monies, plus student
fees, and ttiey have uniform curriculums and procedures, even a
casual observer can discover that
one institution has stressed one aspect of education, while another
may have stressed an entirely different phase of education.
One college houses students in a
dormitory almost a century old,
which could be described as a fire
trap ; another has remodeled an old
dormitory which now has stone
foundations which are settling.
Bloomsburg, this f all, will have to
house 300 men in town, and has
space for only 80 men on campus.
If all scheduled construction had
been completed by September,
many students would still have to
be turned away, and in most cases
old buildings would still have to be
kept in use.
To slash enrollments, so as to
vacate unsafe housing, would be a
brutal and simple solution to the
problem, which would result in fewer teachers beiiig graduated for the
public schools in Pennsylvania.
Some critics of Teachers Colleges
claim that "They spend all their
money on staff and supplies and allow their buildings to fall down."
Upkeep is important. Bloomsburg
deserves an "A". Between 1940 and
1955 the school spent about $1,000,000 for new construction and $75,000 on maj or repair proj ects. The
campus shows it; the buildings are
well kept ; inside, some look as up
to date as the problems today 's
teachers colleges are facing."
President Andruss admits that
more money is spent on maintenance at Bloomsburg than at most
Teachers Colleges. "While our expenditure is in the upper 25% of the
teacher training institutions of the
nations, we think it is important to
maintain the plant."
Although grandiose plans for future expansion have been drawn,
the target dates for completions
have not been set.
The present Legislature is in the
process of considering bills to make
General State Authority money
available for new buildings. However, the general question is—Does
Pennsylvania want its State Teachers Colleges to produce more teachers for its public schools? If so, the
answer is obvious; more money will
have to be appropriated.
Seven Senior s Receive
Band Awar ds
Seven Seniors received awards
for seven semesters in the band.
They were: Dale Biever, Roberta
Bowen, MaryBelle Lontz, Eunice
Miller, Dorothy Stoudt, and James
Vowler. Susan Hoffman received an
award from the band in special
recognition of her service as head
maj orette.
Senior Glass Memorial Announced
Raymond Hargreaves, Class President, announced the class memorial, a check for $600 to be used for
the purchase for books for the newly renovated library.
Approve Plans
For Dormitory
Another page was added to the
history and development of the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
recently when President Andruss
approved and signed architect's
drawings for a new dormitory to
house two hundred male resident
students on campus. The plans, prepared by Mr. Arthur Stabler of the
L. P. Kooken Company of New Oxford, were signed on February 19.
The new dormitory will have a
brick exterior, and will be similar to
the architectural patterns of existing buildings on the campus. The
cost of construction and equipment,
when the building is completed and
readied for use, will approximate a
million dollars.
The new building, the first on the
campus to be designed and erected
as a men's dormitory, will include,
in addition to student rooms, the
following areas: Dean of Men 's
apartment, administrative offices ,
recreation room, lobby, snack bar,
post office and boxes, student laundry , storage area, study rooms,
counselor's room, and lounges. The
dormitory will be located just north
of North Hall.
The need for additional dormitory facilities has been evident for
a number of years. For the past
two years, approximately 300 male
students have been housed in private homes in the town of Bloomsburg in addition to an equal number of men who drive to the college
each day from nearby areas.

Winters Sermon To
Be "Strange Values ''
Richard H. Winters, Dean of Students at Franklin and Marshall
College, will deliver the sermon
during the Baccalaureate Service,
Su nday, May 25, at 10:30 a.m.
(D.S.T. ) in Centennial Gymnasium.
The theme of his address will be
"Strange Values".
. A native of Smithsburg, ' Maryland, Dean Winters was graduated
from the public schools of Washington County before he began his
undergraduate work at Franklin
and Marshall . At the latter institution, he earned the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Philosophy in 1944, and,
a short time later, enrolled at the
Lancaster Theological Seminary
where he was awarded the Bachelor of Divinity degree upon completion of his preparation for the ministry. During the next four years,
he served Evangelical and Reformed churches in Allentown and
Hellertown, and completed a year
of internship as a hospital chaplain.
In 1951, he j oined the staff at
Franklin and Marshall as Director
of Admissions. After three years in
that capacity, he accepted a call
to become minister of The Abbey
Church in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. He returned to his alma
mater in 1955 to assume his present duties as Dean of Students.
An audience of nearly two thousand students, faculty, parents,
and friends are expected to attend
the Baccalaureate Service at
10:30 a.m. and the Commencement
exercises at 2:00 p.m. when Bachelor of Science degrees in Education
will be presented to 187 seniors
who will complete requirements for
graduation in May or during the
summer sessions.

The Senior Class of 1958 will be
graduated Sunday, May 25, at
2:00 p.m. in Centennial Gymnasium. The Reverend Imre Kovacs,
B.D., pastor of the East SixtyNinth Street Community Church in
New York City, will deliver the
commencement address. Rev. Kovacs will discuss "The Challenge of
Being an American."
Kovacs is no stranger on the
Bloomsburg campus. He made a
very favorable impression during a
previous address, just as he has
done in addressing more than five
million people in American communities from coast to coast, including an audience of tweniy-nvr
thousand at Madison Square Garuen.
A native of Hungary, Kovacs is
an authority on Central Europe
and the Balkan area. On occasion,
he has said that he is "Hungarian
by Birth , Yugoslav by Compulsion,
and American by Choice."
Education in the schools of Hungary, Germany, Rumania, and Serbia, he came to th.e United States
after World War II to complete his
education and training at Y ale University, Lancaster Seminary, and
the Julliard School of Music.
For a number of years, he represented the Young Men 's Christian
Association in Yugoslavia, and
travelled through nine European
countries, studying social and economic conditions. He returned to
the United States at the invitation
of the National Council of the
Y.M.C.A. for a lecture tour.
He is the only foreign-born
American ever to receive the National Best-Teller Award. He was
co-recipient of the Award with former Vice President Alben Barkley.
He now devotes most of his time to
spreading the message of toleranee
and democracy for the remedy of
the blind hatreds and prejudices of
the Old World.
During the commencement exercises, degrees will be conferred on
one hundred eighty-six seniors who
will complete the requirements for
the Bachelor of Science degree in
May or during the Summer Sessions.

Welcome, alumni, to a Bloomsburg that has been rapidly expanding since you graduated. Many new
things have been added in recent
years and many more are on the
schedule. President Harvey Andruss expect an enrollment of 2,000
by 1962 and BSTC is well on the
way with a possible enrollment of
1300-1400 for the coming Septem ber semester.
An approved campus plan for the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
provides for an optimum enrollment of 2,000 students, of which
1,200 or 1,300 will live in college
dormitories and in the Town of
Bloomsburg, and about half that
number will commute daily from
their homes.
This plan divides the campus into
three areas, the first area beginning at Penn Street and ending at
Spruce Street, bounded on the two
other sides by Light Street Road
and East Second Street, will contain administration building, heating plant, men 's dormitories, women's dormitories, dining hall, maintenance building, and laundry. This
is the living area.
The second area, Spruce to
Chestnut Street, bounded on the
other two sides by Light Street
Road and East Second Street , will
f u nd of $1,000,000 appropriated by
Of the present enrollment of 1,200 only 500 live on campus, with
300 in the Town of Bloomsburg,
and the remainder commuting distances up to forty miles each day.
Applicants for admission are
from two to three times greater
than the number that - can be accommodated. With a faculty of
only 60 for 1,200 students, the ratio of one instructor to 20 students
should be reduced to 15 students
per teacher, which means that the
number of faculty should be increased by twenty.
All this costs money. With $33,000,000 to be spent in the next year to educate 16,000 students in Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges,
the students and their parents are
paying almost half the cost with
the State appropriation of $17,000,000. This means that the State is
expending only $533 per year per
teacher educated.
If Pennsylvania is going to have
enough teachers for its schools as
its population of 6 to 18 year olds
increases, we must educate more
teachers and pay higher salaries in
Pennsylvania to prevent teachers
college graduates from going to
other states.
contain the classrooms, library, and
auditorium, as well as the Centennial Gymnasium. This is the learning area.
The Athletic and Recreational
area is bounded by Light Street
Road and Chestnut Streets , and at
the present time is now largely
farm land near the President's
House. In this area, a field house
will be built so as to be accessible
to parking areas, football field ,
baseball diamond and running
track.
One building, the College Commons (dining room, kitchen and
storage building) has been constructed, and funds have been allocat ed for two ot her buildin gs, a
men 's dormitory to be constructed
in 1958 on the sites now occupied
by the old barn and the caretaker 's
cottage, which will be demolished.
This building will cost $1,000,000
when fully equipped.
A new classroom building to contain six Science Laboratories on the
first floor and eight classrooms for
the Department of Business Educat ion on the second floor , costing
more than $500,000 will be constructed in 1958 on a site of three
of the present tennis courts near
the Centennial Gymnasium.
In order of construction, the next
buildings are an Auditorium to accommodate 2,000 students, located
at the end of Spruce Street, with
the back of the building to Light
Street Road , and a Library to house
100,000 volumes to be located on
the site of the present baseball diamond facing downtown Bloomsburg.
At the present time, the old dining room space has been renovated
to provide Library facilities until a
new Library Building is built. Book
stacks to accommodate 50,000 volumes are located in the old kitchen
and storage areas, and the second
floor space in Waller Hall, formerly used for Library, is being rebuilt
to provide dormitory capacity for
25 or 30 students. This area will
be available for use by September,
1958.
The over-all plan, subj ect to the
provision of funds by future Legislatures, provides for two women's
dormitories in addition to the present women 's dormitory, a second
men's dormitory, a maintenance
building, two additional classroom
buildings, and a field house.
The over-all plan assumed that
land will need to be purchased, and
the General State Authority has recently allocated $125,000 from a
the 1957 Legislature for the purchase of land for the use of the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
The Local Board of Trustees has
passed a resolution favoring the
purchase of land bounded by or adj acent to the present campus before other land acquisitions are
made.
Without detailing the general
picture of bulging college enrollments, President Andruss points
out that the present enrollment of
the college is double that of the average enrollment preceding World
War II. An enrollment of 1,200 is
being accommodated only by reducing the quality of educational service. With the Carver Hall Auditorium seating less than 900, it is impossible to have all students together for weekly assemblies.
While some use can be made of the
Centennial Gymnasium for this
purpose, it is not available during
Basketball Season. Classes are being scheduled through the noon
hour so that the class day may end
at four o'clock, otherwise 400 students would have to travel after
sundown over roads that would become icy and dangeous during winter months.

Nineteen members of the class of
1958 were presented Service Keys
Wednesday at the annual Honor
Assembly held in Carver Auditorium. The keys, the highest award
made by the college to its students,
are awarded each year for outstanding service to the college community ". Dr. John Serff presented
the group to Dr. Harvey Andruss
who made the awards to the following : Paul Anderson, Norman Balchunas, Rose Coulter, Gerald Donmoyer, Mary Galatha, Mary Grace,
Ray Hargreaves, Betta Hoffa, Walter Hutz, Teresa Julio, Eloise Kaminski, Catherine Kerl, Deanna Morgan , Luther Natter, Sarah Ridgeway, Mrs. Annette Roush, William
Sheridan, Constantine Spentzas
and Nancy Suwalski. Preceding the
presentation or service Keys J->r.
Andruss presented "Who's Who"
certificates to seventeen Seniors.
These students had previously been
designated by college officials as
outstanding students whose names
were to be included in the annual
publication Who's Who In American Universities and Colleges,
Lifetime passe to all college athletic events, given for four years of
participation in a varsity sport ,
were given to: Paul Anderson, Robert Boyle, Carl DeFebo, James
Gustave, Charles Loughery, James
Snyder , Edward Watts, and Gerald
Wood.
A policy originating from the
Board of State Teachers College
Presidents has been developed to
permit more local independence for
each of the fourteen state teachers
colleges in the state of Pennsylvania. This independence is concerned
with the revision of the college calendar, the curriculum, and the fees
of each individual college.
Previously each college was uniformly ' organized ; but beginning
with the 1959-60 term the colleges
will develop their own calendar, revise their own courses and determine their entrance fees.
The new curriculum will be based
on two requirements as set forth in
the bulletin from the Board of Presidents. There must be a minimum
number of semester hours in general education, professional education, and specialization, plus electives. The minimum requirements
for certification as determined by
the State Council of Education and
approved by the Department of
Public Instruction must be met.
As a basis for this change our
faculty is now studying all course
offerings to determine the general
nature of the course in relation to
its position in general education,
professional education, and speciala Pennsylvania writer, an d h er own ization. Dean Hoch stated that thisi
art icle, "Are You Afraid of Crea- faculty committee will then plan.
tive Art" recently appeared in a for a general revision of all curricnational magazine,
ulums offered by the college.

Miss Edna J* Hazen, Director of
Elementary Education Retires
A teaching career of four decades
in schools and colleges of Pennsylvania will be climaxed in May with
the retirement of Miss Edna J. Hazen, Director of Elementary Education and Principal of the Benj amin
Franklin Laboratory School, at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Miss Hazen jo ined the college
staff in 1927 as Director of Intermediate Education, was appointed
Director of Elementary Education
i n 1940, and Laboratory Principal
in 1943.
Miss Hazen began her education
in the public schools of Erie County,
her birthplace, and later completed
graduation requirements at the
Edinboro State Normal School. She
has earned the Bachelor of Science
and Master of Arts degrees at
Teachers College, Columbia University, and has studied at Allegheny College and New York University.
A rural school in Erie County
was her first teaching assignment ,
followed by positions in Elk Creek
Township High School and in a
Cleveland, Ohio, elementary school.
Miss Hazen served for a year as a

critic teacher and junior hi gh
school principa l at the Edinfcorq
Normal School, and complete } a
four-year appointment as Assistant
Superintendent of Erie County
Schools before coming to Bloomsburg. She has taught during college
summer sessions at Edinboro and
Slippery Rock in Pennsylvania , and
spent one summer on the faculty of
the University of North Carolina.
Her teaching career has been
supplemented by active participation in many professional and community organizations and activities.
She has served as President of the
Faculty Association at the College,
as Secretary of the Teacher Education Section of the Northeastern
Convention District of the P.S.E.A.
as a speaker at sectional meetings
and state conventions of the
P.S.E.A., and a member of the state
committee of the Future Teachers
of America. For many years, she
has been a member of the Pennsylvania State Education Association , the National Education Association , and the American Association of University Women. She is a
charter member of Sigma Chapter
of Delta Kappa Gamma, a national
honorary organization for women
leaders in education , served as its
president for two years, and is currently a member of the State Committee on Fellowships and Scholarships. Many of her former college students remember her as their
teacher in the College Girls' Class
at the Methodist Church.
For more than twenty years,
Miss Hazen has made trips by auto,
boat, and plane to Canada , the Caribbean Islands, South America,
and the British Isles. During her
sabbatical leave several years ago,
she spent three months traveling
through the Middle East and the
islands of Rhodes, Crete, and Cyprus. By means of colored slides
and lectures, she has shared her
travel experiences with numerous
groups.
Miss Hazen was honored recently
at a dinner meeting of the College
Faculty Association. She plans to
continue her interest and work in
education when she goes to California in September.
Bloomburg is definitely a pro- 1
gressive college. Evidence of this
can be seen everywhere, in various
departments, in enrollments, and
improved buildings on campus.
The most recent development is
the new location of the college library. The library was formerly located on second floor of Waller
Hall. With the construction of the
College Commons, the former dining area was renovated to serve as
the site of the library.
With the cooperation of the student library staff , th e m ain t enan ce
crew, and the college students, the
moving of books was accomplished
in three days. The procedure was
under the organization and direction of the librarians Miss Keefer,
Miss Reams, Mrs. McNeal and the
Dea n of Men , Mr. Blair. The moving is now completed with the exception of some bound volumes
which are in storage.
Approximately 100% more shelving space is now available and the
card catalogue is double in size.
This provides for the expansion of
library facilities. One of the new
features is the partitioned j uvenile
section. A folding door is provided
which will be used when pupils
from the training school utilize the
library. All magazines are now
placed on horizont al racks which
makes location of the issues easier.
Both collective and individual biography are in open stacks. Tables
are located near the center for the
exclusive use of periodical indexes.
A large atlas stand is also among
the new features.
Another addition is tne drinking
fountain which is now being connected. Picture and pamphlet files
are ordered and new furnit ure has
been requisitioned. For the returning of materials when the library
is closed, a book bin will be used.
Materials are deposited in the door
slot at the main entrance and will
drop into the bin .
These features plus the large
windows and glass doors, flo urescent lighting, peaceful decor and
the absence of class bells provide a
relaxing atmosphere for study. The
only outside noises which will disturb this will be the fire alarm
bells.
Improvements have also been
made in the work areas. More spacious and adequate conditions facilitate maintenance of library materials. Individu al offices for the librarians, a lavatory, and storage
rooms have also been added.
New Contr ibution
byM. A. THORNTON
Late in the year 1957 Random
House published the DICTIONARY
OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN USAGE. The authors are Bergen Evans and his sister, Cor deli a
Evans, who have had extensive experience in teaching, writing and
editing. They have designed this
dictionary for people who speak
standard English but are uncertain
about seme details. They attempt
to list some questions which are
most frequently asked about what
is now good practice, and to give
the best answers available. The
Evans' operate on the principle that
one can use good English without
understanding the mechanics.
Information given in the individual word order entries is derived
partly frrom the OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY, the sevenvolume grammar of Otto Jespersen,
and the works of Charles Fries.
However, forms used by the great
writers of English are preferred to
the forms found only in technical
j ournals.
Examples used in this novel dictionary are taken from present-day
speech and writing. Many cliches
are given. "Tarred with the same
brush ", "let the cat out of the bag",
"lend an ear", and "every mother's
son " are j ust a few. The authors
have this to say about the shopworn phrase "something rotten in
the state of Denmark"—"it . . .
gives off a faint odor of decay all
Ifo nwv * "
There is a very interesting and
amusing discussion of the word
"semantics" in the Evans' book. It
is traced from its origin with Korzybski to its present-day use by
Harry Truman (speaking of an imaginary cabinet), "I have appointed
a Secretary of Semantics—a most
important post, He is to tell me how
to say yes and no in the same sentence without a contradiction. Ho
Is to tell me the combination of
words that will put me against inflation in San Francisco and for it
in New York. "
Related words are listed on the
some line. Discussions are In sentence form , not in the brief phrases
usually found in dictionaries. The
words "scull" an d "skull" are listed

spacious work room provides'ample space for maintainance of books.
The desk of the secretary is located in this area.

using the facilities of the library. A large folding door separates this
section from the main library and will be closed when students from the
training school visit the library.
Alumni to Decide
Fate of Roongo
Since the Alumni Association
gave up the custody of Roongo over
six months ago, there has been a
continual controvsersy over what
was to happen to our mascot. Different organizations on campus offered to take care of the dog, and
many other plans have been proposed for his keeping, but all plans
have met with disapproval. For the
past six months Roongo has been
fed by generous donors who have
an interest in our mascot, but his
main diet has been scraps from the
dining room. At the present time
the future of Roongo is still unknow n , and the question is to be
put before the Alumni Asociation
at their annual meeting today.

.. SPORTS HI-LITES ..
by Jim Wagner
Shelly, Blair and Houk Guide Athletic
' Teams Throu gh Successful Sports Season
Welcome back alumni ! The sports department of the Maroon and
Gold extends their sincerest wishes for a pleasant and enjoyable day at
the friendly college on the hill. Those of you who have gone before us
now return and exclaim how much things have changed since your college days. True, several things have changed , a new dining hall and
library have been added to the college's facilities, the entire Waller Hall
is now devoted to the girls' dormitory , and there have been several other
changes.
But one thing that changed the least, if a t all, is Bloomsburg s participation in athletics, by not only the players and coaches , but by the
entire student body. Many of you will recall the rousing pep rallies
bef ore the annual meeting of West Chester on Mt. Olympus. By this I
mean, we still uphold the traditiona l BSTC spirit; the spirit which carried the past , the piaesent, and will continue to carry the future Husky
athletic squads to many victories. This is something for which you, the
alumni , have reason to be proud. For it was you that started this motivating feeling and helped continue it , until it was deeply engrained
as part of the college mores. We are proud of our heritage and you can
rest assured that this spirit will not die for many, many years to come
here at Bloomsburg STC.
The core of the athletic program has not changed too much during
the past several decades. We have dropped some sports such as soccer
and cross-country, but in their place we have picked up such ever increasing sports as wrestling and a new intramural sport , bowling.
Speaking of intramurals, as you walk past the Navy Hall Track field
the tenn is cou rt , Mt. Olympus and Centennial Gymnasium you will
probably recall your days in intramural softball , basketball and football. As was in the past, this is the chief pastime for students on campu s
other than their frequent Saturday afternoon visits to the famous
Bloomsburg Sand and Gravel Cmpany.
What I have been trying to point out in the precedin g paragraphs is
that although changes in sports may seem radical to you, they actually
aren 't; it is merely a newer way of doing older things.
FOOTBALL
The future of the BSTC grid squad had far from cheerful implications for the new head coach, Walter Blair, as he was faced with the
task of drilling the most inexperienced team since the end of Wcrld
War II. However, despite the loss of seasoned veterans, the Huskies
came through with a record of two wins, three losses, and one tie to
cop seventh place in the State Teachers College Conference with a 150
ratine.
The first three encounters, which were played on foreign soil, proved
disastrous for the win-hungry gridders as they bowed to Lock Haven,
Delaware St a te , and Cortland. The initial, long-awaited victory of the
season saw the Huskies come through in fine style with a 33-6 win over
Mansfield , to put a damper on their Homecoming festivities. The smiles
turned to groans, however, as, in turn , a damper was put on our own
Homecoming festivities by Shippensburg, as they edged us out, 20-19.
The Kings game, which was scheduled to be played at the Bloomsburg
Athletic Park was cancelled because of the flu epidemic. The Huskies
unleashed a fury of touchdowns when they defeated the Vulcans from
California on Mt. Olympus, 26-12. In the traditional game with West
Chester, the odds were again against the Huskies as they battled valiantly before losing, 13-7.
Final statistics for the season showed the Huskies scoring 10 touchdowns to their opponents 15, and gaining 1353 yds. to their opponents
1285. The breakdown, according to ground, air, and punting yardage,
showed Eddie Watts the leading ground gainer with 526 yds., Johnny
Oustrich compiling 402 yds. to lead the Huskie air attack, and St a n
Covington punting a total of 912 yards.
Eddie Watts, senior halfback , and Carl DeFebo, senior t ackle , wer e
named to the second team of the Seventh Annual State Teachers College
Pr\nforon/ifl
BASKETBALL
Coach Harold Shelly had only eight returning lettermen out of
which to mold the nucleus of his cage squad , but as always, he and his
boys had a banner season, coming through with 10 wins and 6 losses.
Getting off to a slow start, the Husky courtmen won 7 out of their
last 9 games. Bill Swisher was the high man for the season with 345
points, while Jim Gustave was a close second with 339 markers.
W RESTLING
Coach Houk's pre-season prediction for his grappling squad sounded
like this: "It 's a young enthusiastic squad with plenty of Potential."
Potential , indeed! Not only did his squad come through with an enviable 5-2 won-lost slate, but it succeeded in renewing the interest in
the mat sport here at BSTC. Attendance records in many instances
outnumbered the basketball attendance tally.
Led by James Garman, our All-State Wrestler, the Husky grapplers
scored wins over Shippensburg, Indiana , East Stroudsburg, Lincoln, and
Lycoming, while suffering only two setbacks at the hands of Millersville and Lock Haven. German , Rohm, and Rimple enjoye d undefeated
seasons.
In post-season competition , the Huskies also came through in fine
style, coping third place in the State Teachers College Tournament. In
the Four "I" Tournament, held in Cleveland, Dick Rimple was the top
point getter, taking third place.
Coach Houk's first year as head wrestling coach was a profitable one.
His sincere interest in the mat sport will manifest itself in a bigger and
better wrestling program for BSTC.
Huskies Defeat
Kutztown Nine
The Huskies gained revenge on
the Golden Avalanche from Kutztown State Teachers College by defeating them 10-6, last Thursday on
Mt. Olympus. The Franklin brothers, Dale and Paul, combined their
efforts to subdue their opponents ,
who had defeated the Huskies 7-5
at Kutztown earlier in the season.
Kutztown drsw firs t blood in the
second inning when Yaklick walked
and Dunkleberger was safe on a
sacrifice, A bunt moved both runners up and then Bob Kauffman
collected the first of his three hits
to drive in two runs. Bloomsburg
quickly erased the lead in the third
inning on a combination of hits,
walks, and KSTC misplays. Bob
Boyle 's bases loaded single was the
big blow in the four run uprising,
After going ahead in the third , the
Huskies never trailed thereafter as
they added a single run in the
fourth , two in the sixth and three
insurance runs in the bottom of the
eighth. Kutztown 's other runs came
in the fourth , highlighted by a tremendous three run homer by Kauffman.
Tiger DeNoy and Johnny Oustrich were the leading batsmen for
the Huskies as they collected three
hits apiece. Kauffman led Kutztown in a losing cause with three
solid base hits.

Softball Title
Because of inclement weather
conditions, the softball intramurals
suffered many cancellations this
season. Due to these postponements
a "sudden death" schedule was proposed with the two top teams destined to meet in a three game series
to decide the championship.
The two teams that ended up "on
top of the heap" were the Unknowns and last year 's defending
champions, The Rodents. Both
teams were at full strength for the
first encounter, but the Rodents
proved to be superior at bat and in
the field as they came out on top
with a 9 to 3 victory. The second
game, the Unknowns knew that
they had to-win "to stay alive ". Bob
Leis and Paul Anderson settled
down to a tight pitching duel, but
sloppy fielding on the part of the
Unknowns proved to be the deciding factor as Paul Anderson and the
Rodents walked off with a 4 to 2
victory and the championship for

Throughout the country, athletics continues to hold the spotligh t in college life. The same is
true here at Bloomsburg, as we are
quite proud of our football, basketball, baseball, wrestling and track
teams. However, everyone likes to
have a winning team, and in order
to have a winning team it is necessary to have good, responsible, intelligent coaching. Once again
Bloomsburg comes through in flying colors , as Husky fans are quite
proud of their coaches as well as
their teams.
Our senior mentor here at the
State Teachers College is our head
basketball and track coach, Mr.
Harold Shelly. Mr. Shelly came to
Bloomsburg at the beginning of the
1949-50 season and has been coaching Husky athletes for the past
eight years. His other athletic endeavors include assistant football
coach and trainer. Mr. Shelly has
always enjoyed winning seasons
here at the college and is one of the
most popular men on campus. During this year 's campaigns, Shelly 's
basketball squad enjoyed a 10 and
6 won lost record while his track
team won 2, while suffering 3 setbacks.
Serving his first year as head
football coach, Walter Blair worked with a "green" team to give
Husky f ans many thrills during the
gridiron season. Although the record shows that we won only two
games while losing five, it does not
give the true history of the campaign. The Huskies lost many hard
fought battles, j ust because of inexperience and a few costly "bad
breaks ", besides being plagued with
inj u ries throughout the season.
Next year Blair hopes to turn some
of those close losses into hard earned victories. Coach Blair also took
over the chores of Pr, Wagner as
head baseball coach this season.
After getting off to a slow start because of inclement weather, the
Huskies came through with flying
colors as the season progressed,
with a fine 7-5 overall record. Coming to Bloomburg in 1955 as assistant football coach under Jack Yohe,
Mr. Blair has come to know the
men of the campus quite personally,
as he also took over t he office of
Dean of Men. Well liked and respected, everyone is pulling for
Blair to come through with winning teams in next year 's campaigns.
Serving in the capacity of head
wrestling coach, is Mr. Russell
Houk. This is Mr. Houk's first year
on campus, and already the Husky
grapplers under the tutoring of
Houk had a winning season of five
victories against two defeats. Besides his duties as wrestling coach,
Mr. Houk serves as assistant football coach and is the Director of
Athletics here at the college .

Teachers Colleges
Need Increas ed Aid
A recent survey of three of the
Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges, located at Bloomsburg, Millersville, and Shippensburg, made
by a feature writer of the Hirrisburg Patriot-News, disclosed the
need for increased State appropriations, particularly in the construction of new buildings, and the proper maintenance of old ones.
State Teachers Colleges differ
from one another as do individuals .
Although the State supports them
through tax monies, plus student
fees, and ttiey have uniform curriculums and procedures, even a
casual observer can discover that
one institution has stressed one aspect of education, while another
may have stressed an entirely different phase of education.
One college houses students in a
dormitory almost a century old,
which could be described as a fire
trap ; another has remodeled an old
dormitory which now has stone
foundations which are settling.
Bloomsburg, this f all, will have to
house 300 men in town, and has
space for only 80 men on campus.
If all scheduled construction had
been completed by September,
many students would still have to
be turned away, and in most cases
old buildings would still have to be
kept in use.
To slash enrollments, so as to
vacate unsafe housing, would be a
brutal and simple solution to the
problem, which would result in fewer teachers beiiig graduated for the
public schools in Pennsylvania.
Some critics of Teachers Colleges
claim that "They spend all their
money on staff and supplies and allow their buildings to fall down."
Upkeep is important. Bloomsburg
deserves an "A". Between 1940 and
1955 the school spent about $1,000,000 for new construction and $75,000 on maj or repair proj ects. The
campus shows it; the buildings are
well kept ; inside, some look as up
to date as the problems today 's
teachers colleges are facing."
President Andruss admits that
more money is spent on maintenance at Bloomsburg than at most
Teachers Colleges. "While our expenditure is in the upper 25% of the
teacher training institutions of the
nations, we think it is important to
maintain the plant."
Although grandiose plans for future expansion have been drawn,
the target dates for completions
have not been set.
The present Legislature is in the
process of considering bills to make
General State Authority money
available for new buildings. However, the general question is—Does
Pennsylvania want its State Teachers Colleges to produce more teachers for its public schools? If so, the
answer is obvious; more money will
have to be appropriated.
Seven Senior s Receive
Band Awar ds
Seven Seniors received awards
for seven semesters in the band.
They were: Dale Biever, Roberta
Bowen, MaryBelle Lontz, Eunice
Miller, Dorothy Stoudt, and James
Vowler. Susan Hoffman received an
award from the band in special
recognition of her service as head
maj orette.
Senior Glass Memorial Announced
Raymond Hargreaves, Class President, announced the class memorial, a check for $600 to be used for
the purchase for books for the newly renovated library.
Approve Plans
For Dormitory
Another page was added to the
history and development of the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
recently when President Andruss
approved and signed architect's
drawings for a new dormitory to
house two hundred male resident
students on campus. The plans, prepared by Mr. Arthur Stabler of the
L. P. Kooken Company of New Oxford, were signed on February 19.
The new dormitory will have a
brick exterior, and will be similar to
the architectural patterns of existing buildings on the campus. The
cost of construction and equipment,
when the building is completed and
readied for use, will approximate a
million dollars.
The new building, the first on the
campus to be designed and erected
as a men's dormitory, will include,
in addition to student rooms, the
following areas: Dean of Men 's
apartment, administrative offices ,
recreation room, lobby, snack bar,
post office and boxes, student laundry , storage area, study rooms,
counselor's room, and lounges. The
dormitory will be located just north
of North Hall.
The need for additional dormitory facilities has been evident for
a number of years. For the past
two years, approximately 300 male
students have been housed in private homes in the town of Bloomsburg in addition to an equal number of men who drive to the college
each day from nearby areas.

Winters Sermon To
Be "Strange Values ''
Richard H. Winters, Dean of Students at Franklin and Marshall
College, will deliver the sermon
during the Baccalaureate Service,
Su nday, May 25, at 10:30 a.m.
(D.S.T. ) in Centennial Gymnasium.
The theme of his address will be
"Strange Values".
. A native of Smithsburg, ' Maryland, Dean Winters was graduated
from the public schools of Washington County before he began his
undergraduate work at Franklin
and Marshall . At the latter institution, he earned the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Philosophy in 1944, and,
a short time later, enrolled at the
Lancaster Theological Seminary
where he was awarded the Bachelor of Divinity degree upon completion of his preparation for the ministry. During the next four years,
he served Evangelical and Reformed churches in Allentown and
Hellertown, and completed a year
of internship as a hospital chaplain.
In 1951, he j oined the staff at
Franklin and Marshall as Director
of Admissions. After three years in
that capacity, he accepted a call
to become minister of The Abbey
Church in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. He returned to his alma
mater in 1955 to assume his present duties as Dean of Students.
An audience of nearly two thousand students, faculty, parents,

The Senior Class of 1958 will be
graduated Sunday, May 25, at
2:00 p.m. in Centennial Gymnasium. The Reverend Imre Kovacs,
B.D., pastor of the East SixtyNinth Street Community Church in
New York City, will deliver the
commencement address. Rev. Kovacs will discuss "The Challenge of
Being an American."
Kovacs is no stranger on the
Bloomsburg campus. He made a
very favorable impression during a
previous address, just as he has
done in addressing more than five
million people in American communities from coast to coast, including an audience of tweniy-nvr
thousand at Madison Square Garuen.
A native of Hungary, Kovacs is
an authority on Central Europe
and the Balkan area. On occasion,
he has said that he is "Hungarian
by Birth , Yugoslav by Compulsion,
and American by Choice."
Education in the schools of Hungary, Germany, Rumania, and Serbia, he came to th.e United States
after World War II to complete his
education and training at Y ale University, Lancaster Seminary, and
the Julliard School of Music.
For a number of years, he represented the Young Men 's Christian
Association in Yugoslavia, and
travelled through nine European
countries, studying social and economic conditions. He returned to
the United States at the invitation
of the National Council of the
Y.M.C.A. for a lecture tour.
He is the only foreign-born
American ever to receive the National Best-Teller Award. He was
co-recipient of the Award with former Vice President Alben Barkley.
He now devotes most of his time to
spreading the message of toleranee
and democracy for the remedy of
the blind hatreds and prejudices of
the Old World.
During the commencement exercises, degrees will be conferred on
one hundred eighty-six seniors who
will complete the requirements for
the Bachelor of Science degree in
May or during the Summer Sessions.
