CGA Amendment Proposed to Reduce
Number of Council Faculty Members
Rhodes Scholarships
Increase in Annual Value

Rhodes Scholarships to Oxford University have been increased in
annual value. Dr. Courtney Smith, President of Swarthmore College and
American Secretary of the Rhodes Scholarships , has announced that
henceforth 750 pounds sterling will be paid annuall y to Rhodes Scholars
in residence at Oxford. President Smith indicated that , considering the
purchasing power of the British pound , this increase of 150 pounds makes
the Scholarships sufficient for all necessary term-time and vacation
pxnpnsps

The announcement of the increased stipend comes as Institutional
Representatives in the colleges and universities and State Secretaries
of the Rhodes Scholarships are preparing to receive applications for the
1958 awards. Each year the United States sends thirty-two Rhodes
Scholars to Oxford University, the Scholars having been chosen from
hundreds of applicants endorsed by colleges and universities all over
the country . Recipients of the scholarships are announced in December
after selection by state and district committees which are composed of
former Rhodes Scholars under the chairmanship of prominent citizens
who were not Rhodes Scholars.
Rhodes Scholarships are granted in the first instance for two years
reside n ce at Oxf ord , with the possibility of a third year if it is the Scholar 's interest and if his first two years have been satisfactory. Applicants
must be of the age 18 to 24 on the 1st of October of the year in which
th ey apply, but time spent in military service after June 27, 1950, may
be taken into consideration. At least Junior standing at an approved
degree-granting American college or university is required.
Rhodes Scholarships were established in 1903 in the will of Cecil
Rhodes, famed developer of South Africa. In his will Rhodes stated precisely that the sort of Scholars he wished sent to Oxford should not be
"merely bookworms, qualities oi mannooa , irutniumess. courage, aevotion to duty , sympathy, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship must
be j oined with an exhibition of moral force of character and with physical vigor as shown by fondness for and success in sports. He wished a
Rhodes Scholar to have "instin cts to lead and to take an interest in his
schoolm ates, for those latter attributes will be likely in afterlife to guide
him to esteem the performance of public duties as his highest aim. " He
stated emphatically that "no student shall be qualified or disqualified
for election to a Scholarship on account of his race or religious opinions."
Rhodes, envisioning the f uture power of the United States and wishing
to foster unity among English-speaking peoples, was the first philanth ropist and man-of-affairs to use extensive educational exchange as a
means to international understanding. Since Rhodes, much has been
achi eved in educational exchange . One noted program is that of the Fulbright Scholarships , sponsored by the U.S. Government and conceived
by Senator William Fulbright , himself a Rhodes Scholar from Arkansas.
Rhodes Scholarships offer a unique opportunity for study abroad and
fo r intimate contact with British and Commonwealth students. The
Rhodes Trust provides for thirty-five annual scholarships (thirty-six in
alternate years ) from the overseas members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. For inst an ce, eleven Rhodes Scholars are named each

Applications [or the 1958 competition must be submitted to State
Secretaries no later than November 5, 1958. Full det ails concerning application can be most conveniently obtained from Institutional Representatives for the Rhodes Scholarships in the various colleges and
universities. State Committees of Selection will meet on December 17th ,
naming two representatives from each state to meet the District Committees on December 20th. For purposes of Rhodes selection the United
States is divided into eight districts, each of which names lour Scholars.
Rhodes Scholars elected in December of 1958 will take up residence at
Oxford in October, 1959.

As You Like It
To Be Presented
By Canadian Players

The Canadian Players will present "As You Like It" by William
Shakespeare on Friday, November
21 at 8-.30 p.m. in Carver Flail Auditorium.
AS YOU LIKE IT is one of t hose
delightful plays where everything
comes out right, in the end. A Duke
is restored to his Dukedom , the
right man marries the righ t girl ,
and all other characters are paired
off in marriage. Even the c] own
finds himself a wife. There are
songs and ballads and pretty
speeches and the fact that the plot
has a large number of quite illogical actions and solutions does not
matter in the slightest.
This play is presented most
amusingly by tho Canadian Players, a theatrical group which was
formed in Canada in 1954 by Tom
Patterson and tho brilliant , actordirector Douglas Campbell. Since
then it has become one of the most
vital touring companies in tho
world. In Its four years its plays
have been seen by audiences all
over the world. Recently, they wore
chosen by tho Canada Council to bo
the first recipients of a substantial
grant as tho most deserving of Canada 's cultural endeavors. Comprising the Canadian Players are actors
from all over Canada, including

business, secondary, and elementary education departments at the
College, attended the Central SubRegional District Meeting of the
Pennsylvania Association for Student Teaching at Bucknell University on Saturday, November 1from

Senior President
Favors Proposal
by Donald Kerr

Senior Class President
Because of the increased enrollment and the consequently larger
volume of work demanded of curriculum heads and professors, there
has been a proposal that the section
of the C.G.A. Constitution dealing
with the number of faculty members on College Council be changed
so -that the faculty representatives
in Council would be in the persons
of the Dean of Instruction , the
Dean of Women and the Dean of
Men only . This would relieve from
Council obligations all other deans
and department heads presently
part of Council.
.Soon the student body will vote
on the proposed change and it
should be thinking about it . With
the preponderan ce of College Council being students, the part played
by them in the running of Council
would increase and student representatives would be less reticent
about saying what they think.
The main point on the other side
of the ledger is th at council would
lose the benefit of many years of
experience embodied in present
faculty representation.

Sophomores Suggest
Council Compromise

Yesterday at the firs t Open Community Government
Association meeting held in Centennial Gymnasium, the
student body was informed of a proposed amendment to
the C.G.A. Constitution. The section of the Constitution
under discussion is Article VI, Section 4, Part f. Article VI
deals with The College Council. Section 4 says, "The College Council of this Association shall consist of the following
members :". Part f reads, "The Dean of Instruction, the
Deans of Women, the Deans of Men, and the Directors of
Business, Elementary, Secondary and Special Education."
The proposed amendment would change Part f to read,
"The Dean of Instruction, the Dean of Women and the
Dean of Men," thereby eliminating the Dean of Day Men,
the Dean of Day Women, the Assistant Dean of Men and
the Directors of Business, Secondary, Elementary, and Special Education. Instead of the present faculty representation
of ten members on College Council, there would be three
administrative heads remaining.
In order for this amendment to be added to the Community Government Association a two-thirds vote of the quorum
of the C.G.A. is necessary. A majority of the members constitutes a quorum. The proposed amendment will be referred to the Community Government Association for their
approval or disapproval this Tuesday, November 18th.

For Amendment-

Record of Enrollment
For Fall Semester

John Hoch, Dean of Instruction
Enrollment at Bloomsburg State
Teachers College set a new record
when first semester classes got under way during the second week of
September. A total of 1379 men
and women completed their registration requirements and began
their program of studies under the
direction of a staff of faculty and
administrators of 67 persons . The
addition of 13 new staff members
provided a measure of direct relief
to over-sized classes, but the present ratio of 21 students to one faculty members is still a pressing
problem.
The overflow enr ollmen t of 432
new freshman students is reflected
in the large size of all freshman
sections with the exception of English I, for which special prepara tions had been made. However,
overcrowded classes in the first
year basic courses is the rule, not
the exception.
The increased size of the student
body is also reflected in the large
number of members in extra-curricular organizations; also in the
number of problems which must be
solved by faculty and administration. Moreover, the entire instructional program of the college and
the curricular offerings are now
being reviewed by the faculty in
the ligh t of new certification proposals submitted to the Board of
State Teachers College Presidents,
the State Council of Education , and
the Department of Public Instrucwun.

The college is also developing
plans for the re-accreditation of the
institution in 1960 by the Middle
States Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges and the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education. This study and
comprehensive self - evaluation
must be completed by January
1960.
In the light of these maj or developments and increasing demands
being made for faculty time outside class, it was deemed wise to
ask College Council to consider the
revision of the constitution of the
Community Government Association to decrease the present number of faculty members on College
Council to three—the Dean of Instruction, Dean of Men , and Dean
of Women.

Progress Is Our Plea

We, the Women of Waller Hall , in order to have a more perfect
social life , establish a new tradition , and insure comp lete comfort for
ourselves do hereb y plead for the privilege of wearing bcrmuda shorts
on campus.
While skirts and dresses are proper classroom attire , it is most inconvenient and uncomfortable for us to wear them at all times. We
wear bermudas while stud ying in the dorm ; but if we want to take a
short break and come down to the lounge , we supposedl y h ave to
change our clothes. Everyone knows that a girl walking i nto t h e l ounge
wearing a raincoat , buttoned to the neck , on a perfectl y beautiful fall
eveni ng is onl y try ing to hide her "indecent " att ire.
In most colleges throughout the country , bermud as are a cce p te d as
standard attire. Progress seems to be the policy at Bloomsburg- State
Teachers College. If we can have modern buildings and modern facilities, wh y must our dressing standards be out-dated ?
We realize that we are here to become future teachers of America
and that we should act and dress accordingl y, b ut must we d ress lik e

Congratulations go to the faithfu l followers of the Husky eleven ,

to the members of the CGA Pep Committee. The spirit evidenced by
the group headed by Bob Stish is an insp iration for the most apathetic

they have made the word "defeatitis" stand , not for an attitude of
defeatism , but for an attitude of defeat. Defeat Shippensburg, defeat
Kings, defeat Manseld , defeat Cortland , defeat Millersville, defeat
East Stroudsburg, and defeat West Chester! This is the kind of attitude
that should be developed on this campusp here more often . The spirit
of the above mentioned groups and of the loyal student followers of the

"Don't let term papers and studying for your tests go until the last
minutes." This is the usual advice of our dear profs, but, nevertheless,
•they failed to practice what they preached. The number of tests scheduled for this past Friday is evidence enough of this situation. We know
of no one who had less than three tests on "Black Friday ". This same
Frid ay evening also had another fascinating aspect — the Halloween
Dinner at the College Commons. Careful — we see through your scheme.
Instead of disguising the food you disguised those serving to distract us.
We wish that we had such a course of deception as Penn State 's, Mr ,
Ve nu cci . Dave Barnhart. dreamed he was a waitress in his maiden form
bra , and had several oilers of dates before it was realized that she was
a he. Oh! th e pain and agony of trick or treat . Incidentally, have you
noticed how much of ono 's personali ty is revealed by the costumes they
wear to Masquerade 'Dances ? And those daring Frosh girls, Elaine Anderson and Nancy Engle managed to visit such notables as Dr. Andruss ,
Miss Zinn , the Buckingha ms, etc. as they rode through the Hallowe 'en
Eve 's brisk air on their broomsticks in their beautiful sacks.
Chuck McDonald informs us that Cool, Calm , and Collected Mr. Ulmer wasn 't his usual self when he became a father — he fainted. Frank
Bendinsky has a pi'oblem when he goes to the Snack Bar. He doesn 't
know whether to order peanuts or coffee because they taste so much
alike. Glenn Reed and Mari e Walsh are in mourning over the loss of their
dear friend "Mad Hattie ".
Have you noticed : that the librarians ' shoes speaki ng is louder than
their shushing; that electrographic pencils were conspicuous by their
absence in the recent Philosophy test; that one of the cats from the
Senior Walk is still among the missing; that students still haven 't started their term papers which are due Monday ; that Rebel is starting his
Hope Chest with a red checkered table cloth ; that excuse blanks are
number one on the College Book Store's best seller list ; that th e record
machine at the Little Red Schoolhouse has been repaired, th us ending
four hou rs of music for a nickle ; that week-enditis is approaching epidemic proportions; that many students took last week's editorial to
heart and reluctantly missed their Tuesday classes to vote (age made
no difference to these dedicated Americans).
We had a quote of the week but Bob Stish didn 't think Mrs. Mussolini
would like it , so we decided to omit. Keep watering those plants Stisherino; your grade is in j eopardy.

Visualize yourself in the midst of a fashionable city : you are walking
along the main street, half-way down a block you stop and you turn
around to view the moving scene. Your first impression might be—"What
a moving mass of Geometric Designs!" And rightly so. Fashions have
achieved boundless shapes, but that does not mean that you must be a
master geometrician to understand their fine qualities. Whether triangular , cylindrical or circular, they are all charmingly attractive.
Closets to the triangular design is the trapeze in genuine form or with
some modifications. If the garment is a dress, fullness will flow in folds
from shoulders to hemline; if it is a skirt, a soft flare will emanate from
the waistline. Elegant evening coats and enchanting cocktail dresses in
shimmering satins, brocades and silks are utilizing this basic design.
Sportswear too, has happily adopted this unirihibiting shape.
Chemises and fitted dresses take as their basic design the cylinder.
The former fit s loosely with emphasis placed on the hips and legs, the
latter is strategically nipped and tucked for closer fitting. The favorite
variation of this design is the blouson top. The basic dress which has
lives as multiple as a cat is a natural outgrowth of this comfortable Styling
Bouffant skirts that taper a bit at the knee for the tulip or bell shape
and fluffy harem-bottomed skirts represent the circular form. Dresses of
this sort are enj oying the season's full swing of social activities.
All of these are important innovations into the world of fashion , however we must not forget the great revival of the Empire styl e — called
back from the days of Napoleon. The belt line has been raised ; and ,
whether thin or wide, soft or stiff , these belts achieve dram atic effects.
The over-all look? — gracefu l, tall and slender.
Besides dresses and skirts , accessories have been exhibiting different
shapes — shoes are peaked, bags are flattened , beads are bunched , pins
are clustered —- to coordinate with the new designs.
Don't be afr aid of these extraordinary changes. Experiment with the
basic forms — you may reveal your hidden qualities.

Huskies Stay Unbeaten; Meet West Chester Tonight

Bob's By-Lines
It' s hard to believe that East Stroudsburg scored a 12-12 tie against
the Huskies last Saturday: a Maroon and Gold aggregation lha t walloped such teams as Cortland, N.Y., Shippen sburg and Mansfield to place
among the state's undefeated-untied ranks. As was said prior to the
contest , th ose Warriors have always boon a pesky bunch to Bloomsburg
athl etic teams. No matter what their record is going into the game, th ey
somehow manage to get higher than kites for the H uskies. This was the
case last weekend.
Of course , the big question asked by the maj ority of fans is "What put
Bloomsburg in such a low frame of mind?" Well , to begin with , that vyas
a might long bus trip to keep your mind on nothing but football , especially whan those seat cramps start to set in. Don 't misunderstand , we 're
not trying to make excuses for anything, but rather , we are j ust presenting a few circumstances that took place before the Huskies went on the
field which might have influenced the afternoon 's results.
It' s pretty tough to hop from a stuffy bus after riding three hours, eat
lunch , pull on a uniform and then go out on the field in a perfect frame
of mind to play high caliber football.
And then we must remember , the competition the Huskies ran into
two weeks ago, following a two week period of idleness, wasn 't the best
in the world. There was j ust nothing there to keep them sharp.
The all important extra point was probably one of the most talkedabout things on campus last Saturday evening. The post-game quarterbacks of course held the limelight. We hope everybody remembers just
one thing, and that is if the Huskies would have tried to run or pass for
that point-after , and missed, how many would have made their first cry
to the tune that they should have tried a placement. Anyone can second
guess.

By the way, this department has a friendly slap on the back for Joe
Gronka. We're sure nobody wanted to split those East Stroudsburg uprights any more than did this Husky halfback.
Our words concerning the episode over at Stroudsburg's Normal Hill
end right here, and we promise you th ere'll be no more said about that
(as the Huskies call it) 12-12 defeat. For some reason we have a funny
feeling that tonigh t some fellows wearing Maroon and Gold are going to
try harder than anything to show just how high they can really get.
Press Box GangUp behind the backs of the fans in the press box peer six pair of dark
beady eyes, carefully following every segment of the action taking place
on the field. Joe Zapach , the team statistici an, is there with his complicated maze of scorebooks, pencils, papers, programs and what have you.
He says he knows what he's doing !

Beau Hutteman . He j ust seems to have that knack with the lights. Mr.
Shelly's little javelin -thrower is thinking seriously about going professional.
Mr. Willia m s, old "Snack Bar Spirit" himself, is perhaps the favorite
pesonality in the press box. He's the provider of hot dogs at halftime .
We 're all trying to figure how Pendel always manages to get counted
twice.
The fifth member of the gang is very modest and would rather not
have his name mentioned. However, we 're sure everybody knows the

And then, looking on with the gang is this writer. It's an adventure.
Enough said.
Riding: the Bumps
Until someone tells us different , we're still under the impression that
Mr. Shelly is the person on campus fondest of riding in buses. He especially likes to sit in the back seat where the fumes can keep him company.
We guess it gives him that locker-room atmosphere.

Huskies Meet
Rams Tonight

The Bloomsburg Huskies come
up against one of their stiffest tests
of the season tonight when they
meet the Rams of West Chester
State Teachers College at West
Chester. The Huskies , with a record of 5-0-1, will meet a Killinger
eleven that has tasted defeat but
once, that coming against Villanova .
Coach Blair will probably go
along with the same starting team
that he has sent against earlier opposmon.
The powerful Rams, noted for
running up of high scores, especially on their home turf , will be
out to keep the tradition against
Bloomsburg. On the other hand, the
Huskies will be out to prove they
still have some of their early season spark th at has been lacking in
the last few contests.
Defensively, Woody Rhoads and
Bob Bottorf , both seniors, will be in
there to back up the line. Up front
will see Bobby Warren, Stan Elinsky, Hank Orband , Ed Galitsky,
Billy Morris, and Roy Shifflet.
Bobby Rohm, Bub Gruv er , Jim
Conrad, Walt Fake, and Joe Gronka will be among the defensive
back s
Buses carrying students to the
game will be leaving Long Porch at
three o 'clock for the trip.

Huskies Deadlock
With E,S, Warriors

The Warriors of East Stroudsburg pulled a big surprise last Saturday afternoon as they battled the
Huskies to a 12-12 deadlock in a
contest played at East Stroudsburg's Normal Hill field. Prior t o
the game Bloomsburg was among
the ranks of three unbeaten and
untied teams in the state.
East Stroudsburg pulled ahead
midway in the second period. Fred
Lupin, Warrior halfback , intercepted a Snyder pass on the Bloomsburg 40-yard line and dashed all
the way down to the 17 before he
was hauled down by Bobby Rohm
and Joe Gronka. On the first down
play quarterback R u m b e r g e r
tossed an aerial to end Ken Huber
who went into the end zone for the
score. German's placement attempt
for the extra point was blocked by
Gronka.
The Huskies, up to that date an
unbeaten and untied ball club, lef t
the field at intermission trailing
6-0.
Stroudsburg registered their second tally in the third quarter on
another pass play, this time from
Rumberger to end Ed Gromlich
who had found his way behind the
Husky defenders in the end zone.
Germ an 's placement this time went
wide of its mark.
Johnny John son t ook th e W a rrior
ki ck off on his own 5 y ard line and
ret urned it up to the Bloomsburg
29.
Huskies Strike Back
On the first play from this point
Ozzie Snyder rolled slightly out to
his right and heaved a pass to his
end Morrie Schultz who had evaded
defenders at his 45. The lanky
speedster snagged the ball and
measured off the remaining distance to the goal line for the Huskies' first TD. Stan Elinsky's boot

for the extra point was no good.
With a little less than four minutes remaining to be played in the
game, Walt Fake intercepted a pass
on the Bloomsburg 14 and was
dropped on the 16, where the Huskies put the ball into play. On the
fir st down a Snyder aerial fell incomplete. Then on the second play
Ozzie again found Schultz wandering free and hit him with a pass on
the 25. Moritz gathered in the pigskin and outran all of the East
Stroudsburg secondary to cross the
double stripe for the tying score.
The entire play covered a distance
of 84 yards. Joe Gronka's placement attempt w as wide, and the
score stood 12-12.

All three Bloomsburg touchdowns came via the air lanes with

Dr. DeVoe Speaks
During Institute

'Dr. Edward T. DeVoe of the College English Department recently
addressed the English sectional
meeting of the Luzerne County Institute at its eighty-eighth annual
meeting in Wilkes-Barre, October
23 and 24. Dr. DeVoe spoke on the
subject , "The Challenge of Meeting
Requirements," and suggested that
achieving competence in the language arts is the long range goal of
any enlightened educational program. The speaker mentioned three
specific experiments now being conducted in the schools of Columbia
County which are designed to aid
the students in developing their potentional abilities in this field.
These experiments include a new
type of grouping Freshman English
students at BSTC, which may best
be described as vertical homogen eous grouping rather than horizontal homogeneous grouping according to percentile ranks as determined by the College entrance examina tions. The aim has been to prevent the stratification which appears to be a weakness of conventional homogenous grouping. The
second experiment concerns the use
of a writing resource teacher in the
senior English classes at the Berwick Area Joint High School who
works closely with college-bound
students in the field of writing. The
third experiment now being conducted in this area is the use of
special reading consultants in the
Bloomsburg Memorial Elementary
School who supervise the total
language arts program and integr ate it with the subj ects taught in
the elementary gr ades.
Louis J. Greco, of the Luzerne
County schools, acted as chairman
of the panel discussion which followed Dr. DeVoe's address.

rectly on any issue brought before
Council. Since I have been on Council, I can recall only once or twice
when this has happened. Ordinarily
Council's voting has been split with
some members of both faculty and
students on each side.
Let us not forget that expansion
of our school will also expand the
duties of Council in the future , and,
as much of the responsibility for
advising Council activities falls on
members of the faculty who are on
Council, this would tend to place
an even larger responsibility on the
Dean of Instruction , the Dean of
Men, and the Dean of Women.
There is left for us to determine
whether we want Council at its
present membershi p stat u s or if a
Council so greatly reduced by import ant members would be better
for us as a whole. Perhaps a more
moderate change might be desirable. Perhaps Council could work
j ust as efficiently without the directors of the departments. This
would be a matter for future consideration.
To conclude , Ife elthat al of u s,
from highest administrator to the
lowest subordinate in the school
must consider what is best for the
school from a long range point of
view, and not what would seem to
serve the best immediate or short
fut ured interests.

Cut Your Apron Strings

At four o'clock every Friday
afternoon, Long Porch at Bloomsburg State Teaches College reminds me of Grand Central Station
at the rush hour. What's ihe reason for this ? It is because dozens of
st u dents , suitcases in hands and
laundry bags at their feet, are eagerly waiting there, peering apprehensively up and down the street
for the magic carpet that will take
tnem nome.
Bloomsburg can be correctly called a "Suitcase College". On Fridays
the weekly home-bound students
run pell-mell from their three
o'clock classes to their rooms, and
within a few minutes have rushed
to the "weekend communters" departure place. Most of these students return to campus Sunday
night and are already planning
their next week-end at home.
After asking some students the
reason for their leaving the college
I received the following answers:
"I go home just to get away from
this place"; "Igo home to see my
parents and friends "; "I have a
steady boyfrien d (girlfriend) back
home and I have to go home to see
him (her) " . "There is never anything to do on campus over the
weekend" is the complaint of the
majo rity of the "Suitcase Sues"
and "Suitcase Sams". Last weekend there was a dance on Friday
night , a game on Saturday afternoon and another dance on Saturday night , not to mention two good
movies playing downtown. Is this
their idea of "Nothing to Do," to
coin a song phr ase ?
Not every weekend is as fully
scheduled as the one mentioned
above; however, if the students
would stay on campus for Saturday
and Sunday events, social event s
for these days could be planned.
Ru mor has it that next semester
all students will have Satur day
classes. If this is so, then those afflict ed with the disease of weekenditi s will have to cut their apron
strings and stay at Bloomsburg the
f ull week.
