H*S. Seniors Guests
At BSTC Experiment

A group of nearly fifty Pennsylvania high school seniors , who had
been selected at random from almost one thousand applicants for
admission to the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College in September ,
1959, parti cipated in an experimental testing program on Friday
and Saturday, January 9 and 10, on
the College campus.
The two-day program is part of
the continuing effort to improve
Bloomsburg 's procedure of selective
admissions for young men and women who have indicated a desire to
receive an education which will
qualify them to teach in the public
schools of the Commonwealth.
The group arrived on campus
shortly after noon on Friday, was
housed in campus dormitories, and
took a new type of qualifying examination from 1:00-4:00 p.m. Th ey
were guests of the college for dinner Friday evening and for breakfast Saturday morning, and were
in vited to attend a Friday night
record dance in the Husky Lounge,
sponsored by tho College Social and
Recreation Committee.
On Saturday, at 9:00 a.m., thes e
students jo ined more than a hundred other students to take the
present qualifyin g examinations ,
given by the college.
An analysis of the results of the
two different examinations, given
to thi s group, will be used by college admissions officials to determine the effectiveness of the new examination in predicting success in
college ,
The random selection brought to
the campus students from sixteen
counties in Pennsylvania including:
Northumber land , Bucks, Delaware,
Lackawanna , Lycoming, Montour ,
Columbia , Luzerno , Dauphin , Wyoming, Montgomery, Berks , Lohigh ,
Schu ylkill , Carbon , and Elk.
The program is being co-ordinated by C. Stuart Edwards , Director
of Admissions, with the assistance
of Dr. E. Paul Wagner , college psychologist ; Mrs. Elizabeth Miller,
Dean of Women; Mr. Walter Blair ,
Dean of Men.

A Safe, Sober Semester f amionflares The OLD PHILOSOPHERS -~-

Maybe you were one of the hundreds who lost a member of your
family or a friend in a traffic accident over the holidays. Maybe your
own car was wrecked or demolished by a careless or drunken driver.
Possibly, you caused an accident. Whatever the case may be, it is time
that you were shocked into realizing the tragic effects of death on the
highway.
An attractive 16-year-old girl who had everything to live for is now
crippled and disfigured for life. The mother of four young children is
killed instantly in a head-on collision. The wage earner of a family is
disabled and a little boy spends his vacation in a hospital ward.
There must be an answer to this problem of highway fatalities — and
there is. Safe Driving. Driving under 60 miles an hour on an open highway, passing only on a broken line, stopping at stop signs, and obeying
traffic rules and regulations.
The axiom that drinking and driving don 't mix is commonly disregarded by drivers who think they can handle a drink and a car at the
same time. Facts prove that they can't. Witness the scores of recent
news stories about the automobile disasters in the vicinity of our college.
During the winter months when driving is particularly hazardous,
added caution must be taken. Few stop to think about it, but safety
experts back up the statement: Slippery highways can't cause accidents,
it's driver 's error and mechanical failure that are really to blame for
the mishaps attributed to slippery roads. Your safety rides on the depth
of tread in your tires, your knowledge of winter driving techniques, and
how much you care to use this knowledge.
Very shortly your semester break will begin and you will once again
be behind the wheel, holding life in your hands. Don't be responsible for
adding your name or another person 's to the fatality liat. It is better to
be safe and sober, than not to be at all.

Fm Brainwashed

Feeling depressed about exams?
Atmospheric pressure getting you
down ? Constantly tired after that
hectic holiday ? Perk up with a
"Half-past Winter Refresher ".
Revive your stagnant wardrobe.
Utilize the effectiveness of bright
colors, a change in your hairdo, or
new accessories.
Bounce fine qualities back into
your clothes, restor-e lost glamour
to a dark winter coat with the addition of colors like bright yellow,
flippant orange or ashy brown-biege
—parchment.
A dress with a drawstring waist
in a lively color will suit your every need. A loose fitting jumper in
a bright plaid might be just the
thing. Do you have a very basic
dress ? Add a long knitted cardigan
coat in brazen stripes. An old skirt
lacks something ? Try a sweater
overblouse in virgin wool, lambswool or any of the synthetic fabrics. Or, perhaps, a crisp blouse
fashionably draped wth beads and
pin may annex an ensemble to your
wardrobe. As extra fresheners,
printed blouson tops and smartly
trimmed long cardigans are superb.
There are many new hair styles;
one of them may perfectly accent
your finest assets. Choose a new
hat which flatters yours latest hairdo. Make sure it appears as though
the hat were styled just for you.
Get away from old favorites; try a
saucy beret or one of the latest
twists in coiffure caps.
Soft , kid gloves in stark white,
j et black or sandy biege may add
the final touch to a specific outfit.
Silver or gold bangle bracelets, circle pins and lengthy beads are
necessities; but for diff erent effects
wear the beads caught up on one
side with a pin, include in your collection some jewelry with a modernistic slant, wear a mosaic pin or
bracelet with that basie dress, A
gaily printed carpet tote-bag is all
you'd need to liven that dark casual coat. Experiment with new
shades in lipstick.
Now there is one prerequisite for
this "Half-past Winter Refresher "
— get an adequate amount of sleep
so you'll look refreshed.

If we sound somewhat cool, it's because we are bitter-cold, th at is.
Here we are in the Husky Lounge fresh back from our warm homes and
spirit-filled visitations. We can't help but admire the warmth that the
fireplace seems to suggest. Too bad its suggestiveness isn't an actuality.
Even the slightest bit of heat would be welcome in the Lounge.
It sounds almost unbelievable, but we're convinced that the faculty
had a more difficult time adj usting to the drugeries of class than the
students. It migh t make interesting reading on how they spent their
vacations. We know of one of our faculty who.had one disheartening
experience — Miss Metier j ust finished decorating her Christmas tree,
stood back to admire it and T-I-M-B-E-R! Down it came on top of her.
Fort un ately , ther e w asn 't any serious damage.
Many of our students had interesting experiences, but we think Paul
Spahr 's being held up at gun point was one of the most unique. The City
of Bortherly Love was its usual self despite the Christmas season. Right ,
Paul ? Probably the most useful of all gifts received was Mary Ann
Thornton 's present from her grandmother — a safety whistle. So as not
to steal the thunder of a possible editorial , we will not elaborate.
'Do you think Dr. Serff gives "qu i ckies" to his Sunday School Class?
Imagine if Dr. Shockley taught such a class. Couldn't you see her prepariner a legal brief on Christianity vs. the Roman Empire.
Thinking over some of the gift s — money, cloth es, cigarettes, ligh ters,
pipes , diamond rings — we've decided that much better gifts could be
given to college students — a semester supply of excuse blanks, subscription to Playboy or the Manchester Guardian, a week-end gas expense account, or a supply of no-doze. Just think of the benefits which
could be, derived from these to help students further their education.
We hear the "Pray For No Snow Friday " Club unanimously decided
at. the last meeting of the Bloomsburg Chapter of the United States Colleges and Universities Association of Weekenders to change the name of
their organization to "Pray For No Snow Saturday " for next semester .
Imagine what would happen if 8 o'clock church was made compulsory
next semester. One of our students complains that he isn't dissatisfied
with his schedule, but after all, he worked for three years prior to enrolling at BSTC and in all those years he never once had to get up on a
Saturday morning at 8 for work. "If this keeps up, " says our associate,
"Jim Hoffa might have better success organizing a union of college students than he had with the police forces." Another student complains
that he has one instructor for so many courses his schedule sounds like a
New York law firm , Thoenan , Thoenan, Thoenan, and our Friend.
The students who have classes in Navy Hall have decided upon "Don 't
Fen ce Me In " as their song for '59. And, contrary to the librarians ' attitude, the administration is not trying to discourage using the library
lacinties. •
We would like to start the New Year out right by extending our congratulations for the fine job Mr. Vanucci has done for Slater Caters at
College Commons. Keep up the good work in '59, Big Daddy. We 're also
sorry to see Mr. Cooley leave, but being familiar with the campus business environment we know one must keep striving. Welcome Mr. Eberhardt and best of luck !
The present structure of the new men 's ( subj ect to change) dormitory
inspired one of our special education students to inquire if it was going
to be used for psychological experimentation with "Willy the Mouse."
Another prospective student asked if the several steel girder constructions were for amusement rides. Dear Boy — Disneyland is in California
(not the state teachers college — the state. )
The Mann Act (with which "Big Brother" Horace had nothing to do)
was a recent question under survey in a California city. However, a
campus discussion of the same Act proved a little more amusing than
was Times account of the West Coast incident. If interested, contact Ed
Adams, because even though it isn 't , it would be called too risque for our
sheltered community to read in the Maroon and Gold.
When asked to name a famous American ship in a test, on e of ou r
historically minded students wrote. The Flagship, manned of course by
the King 's Men. Incidentally, historical moments occur every hour on the
hour in Husky Lounge when "the plain clothesmen " make the rounds
with clip board, pencil and alarm clock. The purposes are to make sure
students are at arm's length and that at exactly 10:00 p.m. dear little
freshman girls are nestled in their cozy beds. Now dears, please realize
we are informing you of this for your own good. We wish we could also
inform some recent prospective students who are under the impression
th at they will be majo ring in football that such isn't the case.
An employee of Slaters went to the Snack Bar and some disgruntled
student asked him for a note from Big Daddy giving him permission to
eat and drink in the Husky Lounge. We think the snack bar's receipts
would increase if they offered "a coed's lunch" — manhattans and meatball sandwiches. If they do it at Leiby 's, why not on Campus ?
It's time for this optimistic two to sign off with a Shulman reminder—
"Fling and Flex With Oedipus Rex." Two tests in one day might be the
reason "Why John n y Can 't and Ivan Can Pass." Keep you r Chin an d
grades up and Smile! Smile! Smile !—M & D

Three, four and five final examinations on one day is too much ! It' s a
worthy theory to keep up with assignments, lectures and outside readings, as the semester progresses, so that you will be prepared for finals ,
but that's ALL it is — a theory. It will never be anything more, becau se
in practice it is virtually impossible. No matter how thorough a student
is, an exam covering all material taught , or not taught, over a period of
nine or eighteen weeks will require intensive review. Just as sometimes
it's necessary for teachers to take "refresher" courses, it' s necessary
for students to review before major tests. The knowledge of minute details contained in an exam can, and sometimes does, make a difference
between a good grade, a passing grade, and a failing grade.
As freshmen, my class was told that grades were not of primary importance. School superintendents weren't going to deny you a j ob because of a few C's. If your record of extra-curricular activities and
personality and citizenship traits was good, he would assume that since
Bloomsburg placed her mark of scholastic approval on you when you
received your degree, you were competent enough to teach in his school
district. It seems that the trend has changed. Grades are now THE
requisite for a teaching job. With the increased emphasis on grades, it's
only natural that every student wants a fair chance to do his best. The
student who has an unreasonable number of tests on tests on one day
doesn't have a fair chance. One or all of the subj ects are going to be
neglected to a certain degree. A sharp, clear mind is the biggest advantage when taking a test. How is a person expected to keep facts straight
and separate when he has three tests in the same area of study on one
day? Names, dates and theories are bound to become confused.
— Nikki and Robin
Is it asking too much to have a week set aside for semester exams ?

"Fanny 's First Play "
Praised by Campus

Congratulations are in order to
the cast of the Maj or Production
for giving a superb performance of
Bernard Shaw's "Fanny 's First
Play."
Although the "pl ay withi n a play "
technique used by Shaw proved to
be a slow beginning, Fanny 's own
play succeeded in pleasing the audience. The eqilogue was much more
entertaining than the prologue;
probably because it discussed the
stereotyped critic in a subtle sense.
Most outstanding in the role of
Margaret Knox, Mary Frances
Downey captured the audience
when she walked onto the stage.
Her vivaciousness as she lived the
part carried the play through its
deeper parts.
Those who saw the play realize
how vividly and hilariously Lorraine Morlock enacted the role of
"Darling Dora." Accepting the part
shortly before the play was presented , she did an amazingly fine
job.
The appearance of Bob Stish in
his Oxford-like sweater and knickers added more comedy than was
actually intended. His own personality elevated the role of Bobby
Knox in the production.
The typically proud parents portrayed by Bob Stelnruck , Lydla
Gobbi , Carol Mazza and Don Harsch
and the other players of the comedy were exceptionally well-cast.

The intra-mural basketball program is underway, and it looks like it
may well turn out to be one of the best the college has sponsored for
some time. There seem to be enough well-balanced teams to make the
race for the championship an interesting one. Coach Heilman is the
faculty member in charge, and Bobby Warren is doing a fine job as
student co-ordinator,
As for choosing a top team , we feel it might be better to wait until
the program progresses a little further before committing ourselves. It's
a tough job to do any predicting with such standout performers as "Bob"
Roy Shifflet, Johnny "Quick" Seamon , and Tom "Thundercloud" Wagner
all mixing it up from different angles.
GOOD FOR ANOTHER YEAR
<*
A recent publication pictured on its front page a high school gridder
crossing the goal line in one of the final football games of the season. As
for this part of the pix, there was nothing so unusual , but the thing that
was a little different about it was that the referee, who had raced into
focus also, was crossing the double-stripe about two steps ahead of the
ball-carrier. From where we were sitting in class when the picture was
being shown, we cou ldn 't determine who the official was, but his hands
were thrown up over his head indicating the touchdown , and he looked to
be in great physical condition , young and trim , and fit as anyone has
ever been for another year of officiating.
BSTC FIFTH IN WILKES TOURNEY

Husky matmen turned in a brilliant performance at the Wilkes Collegiate Wrestling Tournament held in Kingston over the Christmas
vacation. Many of the maj or wrestling powers in the country were
represented including Maryland, Pittsburgh , Michigan State, and BSTC.
Lock Haven , a team the Huskies will meet in Centennial Gym the 29 of
thi s month , placed third in the tourney.
These grapplers of Coach Houk have shown us plenty of spirit and
eagerness to win. They go under the lights of Centennial against Millersville tomorrow night and we're sure that a good crowd will be on hand
to see them crack the whip for the fourth time this season.
WILDLIFE WELL PROTECTED

The Commonwealth's wildlife was well protected this hunting season
by many fellows who are attending BSTC. We didn 't get a chance to
'
talk to Eddie Blackburn , but we imagine th at he downed his usual
I¦ amount of game. Ed is an expert squirrel hunter from 'way back.
Bobby Machamer, a sophomore from Williamstown , is the only one
I on campus who bagged a wild turkey so far as we know. His only yarn
I connected with hunting deer was that he fell out of a tree on his first
1 trip to the mountain and lost sleep for about a week thereafter due to
'
a stiff back.
I
Ron Hileman , a j unior, shot a seven-point buck on the opening day of
1 the season. He made the kill at two miles with a German pompom.
Art Ohl , a j unior, and this writer , did a little hunting together in small
game season. Art alway s knew where the pheasants were hiding. Both of
us were successful in knocking down quite a few. Hunting for big game
was a different story. The one writing this story shot a buck all right, but
? the antlers were just short of regulation and it brought a fine of $25.
i Our score for the late season on cottontails was three for six.
]
Well, the game is safe for another year, or was it safer during the
1 season ?

HIGH SCHOOL TOURNEY
During the Christmas holidays the college initiated the staging of a
;
i high school wrestling tournament and it worked out rather successfully.
i Coach Russell Houk was the director, and he did a nice j ob of staging
some fine entertainment. The bouts were held in Centennial , with about
; twelve different schools participating.
i
Shamokin came out as victors, overpowering contenders in almost
i every class.

We bet anything that next year this tourney will be held on a date
! that will not fall during the Christmas vacation. We'r e su re if t his wou ld
] have been the case this year a much larger crowd would have been on
•: hand for the action.
UP AND OVER
I
i
"Up and Over" seems to be the word if you 're making the walk from
Noetling to Navy Hall for classes. Actually there's nothing to yell about.
You j ust hop from the parking lot to the top of the retaining wall, skip
over the hand rail , descend the steps, and you 're right in front of the
Navy Hall door. Now who should complain about that ? Wait until you
hear about the rest of the plan. Between Noetling and Science there will
soon be strung loops of barbed wire, and machine guns will bet set to fire
: at a level about three feet above the ground. Also, on the walk-way from
I Science Hall to Navy, a ten-foot board wall will be erected. In case this
i is too easy an obstacle for the Marines, they will be allowed to go handover-hand across the steel-work on the new dormitory.
The thought behind it all is to make better physical specimens out of
American students.
Oh , and by the way, you know we were talking a little bit earlier
about hunting; well don 't fail to ask Beau Hutteman about the quail he
nailed at fifty yards with his javelin.
KINGS TONIGHT
I
The cagers of Mr. Shelly bobbed into the victory column last Saturday
night with a win over Cheyney State Teachers College. The score was
close, but at any rate the Huskies pulled it out.
This year's basketball outfit appears to be a team that could turn into
a ball of fire at any moment. Sophomore, Norm Shutovich , and Bill Lloyd ,
a frosh sparkplug, put on a sparkling exhibition last weekend. These
fellows, along with veterans Swisher, Mascioli , Burger, and Francis
should round into a strong aggregation before the season progresses
very far.

Matmen Meet with
Millersville Five

Both Squads Enter Meet
With Clean Slates
Coach Russell Houk admits that
Millersville 's wrestling roster reads
like ,a "Who 's Who in Pennsylvania
Amateur Wrestling," but he feels
that with proper spirit and conditioning, BSTC's grapplers, also with
a number of title-holders, can topple the down-river visitors, tomorrow night.
In his first year at Millersville,
Coach Jim Mowery is no newcomer
to college wrestling. He wrestled
both at Lock Haven ( Houk's alma
mater) and at Penn State before
taking a coaching position , first , at
Stevens' Trade School, and later at
Millersville. While at State, he was
rated third in national wrestling
competition in his weight class.
Tomorrow nigh t, for the Maroon
and Gold, Jim Garman , a Sunbury
product, will face former teammate,
Wade Heath, in the 130 pound class.
Seeing action against MSTC's 123
pound Foller, a runner-up in '58' s
district meet, will be either Maynard Aungst, state high school 117
pound champ, or Bill Robb.
Mecio of Millersville, state high
school champ from Northampton
and a freshman STC conference
winner, will engage Dick Rimple in
what promises to be one of the liveliest matches of the night.
In the 157 and 167 pound slots,
both opponents may switch men.
For the Huskies, Bob Rohm and
Bob Asby will fill the positions, and
will probably be scheduled opposite
Dougherty and Koymeyer. Koymeyer was a STC conference champ
last year at 167, but won "4-1 Tournament" laurels at 157 and was entered in the Wilkes matches in the
li rrti f f l f /^ l t r i c i n n

The heavier weight classes are
unstable. Gary Allen, Stan Elinski,
and Jim Riegel are all contenders
for berths in the 177 pound and unlimited classes. Millersville will tab
Price , a j unior and two time STC
winner, for the 177 spot , and use
Pau l Baker , who placed second in
STC competition, in the unlimited
division.
BSTC students can expect to see
scrappy Husky matmen battle all
the way against a strong Millersville team.

Shellymen Edge
Cheyney in 77-71
Close Contest

The Maroon and Gold Huskies
edged the cagers of Cheyney State
Teachers College 77 to 71 in a brilliant see-saw battle staged last Saturday night in Centennial Gymnasium. A large crowd of fans watched
the lead change hands time and
time again before the Huskies finally pulled the contest out of the fire.
Ch eyney 's Wally Harris turned in
a terrific performance, leading his
teammates in their losing cause
with 36 points. The Cheyney sensation dropped in 23 markers in the
first half of play. Following intermission the Shelly-men partially
checked his hot hand with a zone
defense, but he still managed to
cage 13 tallies.
Norm Shutovich , Husky sophomore, had his best night of the season as he netted 24 points, Dick
Lloyd was next in the scoring parade with 18 markers, and Bill "Red"
Swisher accounted for 15 Husky
points.

Huskies Fifth in
Wilkes Tournament

The BSTC wrestling team, coached
by Mr. Russell Houk, proved itself
an able tournament contender by
placing fifth in the Wilkes InterCollegiate Wrestling Tourney staged recently in Kingston. More than
fifty-five major colleges and universities were represented in the
two-day feature.
Jimmy Garman, 123 pounder for
Bloomsburg and defending State
Teachers College Champion, placed third in the tournament. Garman lost to Powell, University of
Pittsburgh, who for the past two
years has been national NCAA
champ. The loss was a tight 3-2 decision. Garman was on to rack up
four other bouts during the eliminations.
Maynard Aungst copped a tourth
spot , winning -three bouts and losing to the tournament champion, 7
to 4.
Twelve BSTC grapplers participated in the tourney and won a
total of seventeen bouts.
'Dale Sullivan , Bill Rabb, Dick
Rimpl e, Bill Moss, Bill Stevenson,
Bob Asby, Gary Allen, Charlie Riegel, and Paul Withers, all turned in
good performances.
In the consolation matches, which
were held on the second day of the
tourn ament , Garman defeated McGreary, Indiana STC, and Aungst
handed a defeat to Powell, Lock
Plaven , 3 to 0, and topped Campana
of Springfield , Illinoi s, 8 to 0. Dick
Rimple decisioned Cullen, Rochester Tech., 3 t o 0, and then lost to
Hildebrandt of Michigan, 6 to 3.
In final bouts, Garman dumped
Kro u se, Mi chigan , 3 to 0, to capture
third place, and Aungst, although
losing to Simon of Lock Haven, 8 to
5, held a claim on fourth spot in his
division.

In the last eighteen Mansfield vs.
Bloomsburg contests, Bloomsburg
has been victorious sixteen times.
Two of these wins were chalked up
in 57-58 play when Mansfield twice
fell prey to the Huskies.
On Saturday, January 17, the two
teams once again match forces on
M an sfi eld's home court. This year,
however , Mansfield is supposedly a
powerhouse. Early season predictions of this strength by coach Bill
Gibson fell, for the most part, on
deaf ears. But now, with six wins
and a carry-over of four straight
from last season 's final days, Mansfield' s opponents are closely following the results of the surpising
Mountaineers.
Mansfield proved its potential by
upending Millersville, one of the
top-rated STC conference teams, by
an amazing 77-49 score. Gibson
sometimes called out players Felt
and Zyga who together claimed 24
points in the smashing victory. Also
on hand for the slaughter were
Martini, former Berwick High star ;
Bishop, whose twin plays for Kutztown ; and Russell, an outstanding
freshman.
The Mansfield court can be a maj or handicap, as it must have been
for Millersville. The Huskies will
have to adjust to the high school
size floor , approximately 75 by 45
fe et .
The Shellymen have much in
their favor, however. They downed
King's 93-85, while Mansfield managed only a one point margin victory. Judgments from the Millersville game may not be accurate because they may not be the threats
they were originally considered.
They have been overwhelmed by
both West Chester and Mansfield.
Shelly hopes that his perennial
ball-handling troubles may lessen
before the seventeenth, and he has
little doubt about the effectiveness
of the Husky offense. The probable
starting* line-up will include Norm
Shu tovich , top rebounder; Dick
Lloyd, exceptional all-around ball
player, and Bill Swisher, redheaded
high scorer. Other positions are not
so definite. Stan Covington, Ray
Burger, and Carl Sweet are prospects for the key spots, and Jack
Mascioli and Al Francis are vying

BSTC Delegates to
YMCA -YWCA Conf.

Approximately 1,000 American
college students including Carroll
Kichline, Easton, Pa. ; Carol Higby,
Collegeville, Pa., students at BSTC,
met at the University of Illinois,
December 28, 1958, through January 3, 1959, to study urgent questions facing college and university
students today.
The occasion was the sixth National Student Assembly of the
Young Men 's Christian Association
and the Young Women's Christian
Association.
Four national leaders gave platform addresses during the weeklong program. They were pr. Mordecai W. Johnson , president of
Howard University, who opened the
assembly on Sunday night , December 28, speaking on forces involved
in community and campus life ; Dr.
Vera Micheles Dean, associate director of the Foreign Policy Association whose subj ect was the forces
involved in the international situation; Dr. Gardner Murphy, research
director of the Menninger Foundation, who spoke on the forces at
play within the individual ; and Dr.
Paul Lehman , of the Harvard Divinity School, who responded to the
other platform speakers with an application of the Christian faith in
understanding and dealing with
these forces.
At other points during the week,
students met in sectional groupings
to study the following issues: "Men
and Women in the 20th Century "
under the leadership of Dr. William
G. Cole, of Williams College ; "Work
and Vocation " to be led by Dr.
Prentiss L. Pemberton, of ColgateRochester Divinity School; "In
Search of World Community " under the leadership of Dr. Winburn
Thomas, of the Presbyterian Board
of Ecumenical Relations , and VOur
Concern for Interracial Relationships" under the direction of Dr.
Hans Adler, of the Anti-Defamation League and lecturer at Columbia College in Chicago, and Pestalozzi-Froebel Teachers College.
A special feature of the week was
the presentation on New Year 's
Eve of "Cry the Beloved Country"
by the Bishop's Company.
Faculty, members of the board s
of student YMCA' s and YWCA's
and staff met in special seminars to
review their role in relation to the
university and to campus Christian
Associations.
Conference participants also held
plenary meetings to determine policies and program for the more than
600 YMCA's and YWCA's and student Christian groups in colleges
and universities across the country.
Delegates looked to the Assembly to provide clarification and
deepened appreciation of the Christian faith and its relation to the
critical problems of the day and to
give a sense of direction for the

Many months of preparation by
Ken Swatt and his committees, and
perhaps four years of anticipation

of an banquet and dance, known to
us as the Senior Ball. The Banquet
will begin at 6:30 p.m., a nd the
dancing will commence approximately at 8:30. Lennie Kruk , who is
in charge of the orchestra arrangements,, has announced that the orchestra will be Lee Vincent's. For
some time, the Investigations and
Arrangements Committee, headed
by Irwin Parry and Joseph Richenderf er, have been looking for a suitable place to hold the Senior Ball.

Sigma Alpha Eta

A successful fruit cake sale,
sponsored by Sigma Alpha Eta, was
held during the beginning of the
holiday season. Dolores Waugh was
chairman of the project and was
assisted by members of the fraternity. The proceeds from this proj ect
were used to finance a Christmas
party for all the children who at*
tend the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Speech Clinic and their
parents. The feature guest of this
gala affair was none other than the
fraternity's own Santa Claus. Gifts
were distributed, games were played, refreshments were served and
then it was time to say good-night
to all the smiling children. We realized just how successful our party
had been, when several of the girls
and boys eagerly asked, "Can w e
