(Millcrsvillc STC Snapper adaptation) At the present, there is a bill
in the state legislature which, if passed, would change the name of
Bloomsburg State Teachers College to Bloomsburg State College. The
change would apply also to the remaining Pennsylv an ia stat e teac h ers
colleges — except Indiana State-Teachers College, which would become Western State University.
Now , one might ask, "Why the
change?"

Dean Announces
Summer Schedule

According to a statement from
John A. Hoch , Dean of Instruction ,
the 1959 Summer Session of the college will begin June 8, and continue
until August 29.
.j
Fees for these courses will amount
to $11 per semester hour plus a $3
activities fee.
Resulting from the present statewide emphasis in the program of
Special Education , a workshop for
the mentally retarded, directed by
Dr. Maietta , will be offered during
the second session.
Royce O. Johnson will also conduct a workshop on the current
practices in elementary education .
Emphasis in history this summer
will be in the field of American history. New courses in twentieth century American history, social and
c u l t u r a l h i s t o r y of the U n i t e d
States, and economic history of the
United States are being offered.
O£ special interest to teachers-inservice is a new course of demonstrations in physics and chemistry.
Dean Hoch also stated t h a t
a r r a n g e m e n t s to attend summer
school should be completed before
May 1.

Where 's the STUDENT?
Perhaps if the ballot box were placed at the snack bar in Husky
Lounge, instead of out in the hallway, more students would find time
to vote.
Recently there has been much criticism about the way this college is
run, and much controversy as to who runs it . All of this has been in the
form of talk; not action !
To be specific, during the primary election of CGA candidates the
election committee had to actually hand the ballots to students as they
passed by. Only 60% of the college community voted and the voting
time had to be extended an additional day to reach this quota. Would
you call this action ?
In February you defeated the referendum ; not because you voted
against it, but because you didn 't vote. Last week 553 persons voted for
a j unior girl to represent Bloomsburg in the Laurel Festival. Maybe the
girl who won the election is the most beautiful , but apparently 61% of
you don't care who won — because you didn 't vote.
There seem to be two possible solutions to this problem: Either you
put the STUDENT back in student government by voting, or else have
y our president of CGA, your campus queens, and class officers appointed
by the administration.

j lt sJWake-upgTime

Several times during the school year students representing various
organizations have made radio appearances on WCNR' s Bre akf ast Club
program, broadcasted every week-day morning from seven-thirty to
eight o'clock. The hosts, Bob Hilber and Jim Lehman, seem t o h ave an
easy-going way that m akes it fun to "tune-in " while getting ready for
that eight o'clock class. However, there is one question that is always
asked of those appearing on the show : "Did they really serve you
breakfast?"
Well , the Maroon and Gold editors now have the answer. Bob and
Jim of the Breakfast Club extended an invitation to the Maroon and
Gold to come down to the studio and "have breakfast ," and those eggs
and sausage that they talk about every morning were just too tempting.
So, a group from the editorial staff decided to take advantage of the
invitation , just to see if all that talk which the pair of announcers go
through each morning about cooking (that is Bob's 'cooking) on the air
was really so.
Now there 's one thing to report: they do serve breakfast, and Bob is
really a good cook. The editors were greeted by the smiling "thin-man "
(as Jim calls him) and given seats at a table set in the larger studio.
And then with Jim's cheerful, "Good morning, it 's breakfast time!", the
action started.
Bob does his cooking on an electric hot plate, and keeps in tune with
Jim by wearing set of headphones. Jim, who really isn 't as "big " as they
j oke of his being, holds down a spot between two turntables in front of a
maze of dials and controls. They chat back and forth , take tur n s on
commercials, and Bob serves the breakfast and Jim serves the music.
As for scripts, "there just ain't none."
Well, that' s j ust about the story. Oh, and one other thing, the breakfast ; it was delicious! And, as we said , Bob and Jim usually have guests
on the show who want to promote some activity, organization, or coming
event. The morning the Maroon and Gold staff went to breakfast , the
guests on the program were three gentlemen who were there to put in
a plug for the Cancer Crusade. It was a good way for the men to boost
their cause, and they, too , were served breakf ast. In plain words, they
were having fun!
After Jim 's voice came over the monitor, saying, "This is the Columbia-Montour Broadcasting Corporation ," the editors asked who had to
do the dishes. The fellow behind the hotplate removed his headphones
and gave a skinny grin. "Guess who," he said.
Forget it girls! He's married.

At BSTC the marking system is
based on the curve or scale, althpugh the teacher may vary his
method if he wishes. It is my object ive to point out the weak points
in this system and weigh them
against the strong, w ith a n int ent
to show the ineffi ciency of the present system.
If the scale is to be used properly,
there should be approximately the
same number of A's and B's as there
are D's and E's with the bulk in the
C section. In this first semester
there is reason for question ; this
applies especially teethe j unior and
senior years of college. When a student reaches this point in college ,
he is supposed to be the "cream of
th e crop." Why t he n , according to
the scale , must some students flunk ,
in order to offset the number of students who have A averages ?
Another important point to bring
out is that , when working under the
scale system , one does not receive a
true evaluation of his intelligence.
The student who has the most correct, answers is the A student and
the student who has the least correct is the E student. Actually,
what it comes down to is that each
student's knowledge is compared
with what the top man in the class
knows, instead of being evaluated
as an individual' s achievement.

student to receive a D or an E, if
someone in the class is vastly advanced in that field .
When the actual marking time
comes several other problems arise.
One of these problems may be illustrated by imagining a course In
swimming; in which , due to 10 tests,
a possible score of 531 points might,
have been attained. Harry D. had
427 points, which iuat gave him a
B, since the B's on the scale began
at 427. Jim B, had 425 points and
received a C. Is it fair to Jim B.,
whoso score was only two points
lower than Harry 's D, to receive a
C? The typical argument against
this is: "Well , the C and B line must
be drawn somewhere. " This Is true

by Mr. J . Scrimg eour

profession

At my pre sent lev el of experien ce , there is little that I feel qualified
to discuss with any authority unless it might deal with a person 's first
year of teaching. Having recently finished my first year, I have several
observations and suggestions which may prove helpful to any prospecti ve teacher.
The problems faced during the first year include everything from the
planning of lessons to, possibly, the taking of graduate work. In no one
place , however , is it more important to do a good job than in the classroom. The new teacher may be able to lead brilliant discussions in the
fa cu lty lounge , maintain high grades in graduate studies, and participate
ac tively in every Parent-Teachers meeting, but if he does not have the
respect of the students or cannot get his material across in the classroom, his success will be limited. It is to the classroom then that I will
li mit my discussion.

derlying thought which is appropriate in each case: "Plan Ahead. " I
found nothing to be more reassuring as a beginning teacher than to have
resolved a problem or bad situation largely as a result of having anticipated that such an incident might arise.
A thoro ugh, well organized lesson plan is a most important contribution to the building of confidence in those early days when one is
nervo us and not yet sure of himself. The plan is a handy reference when
that loss of words may occur or when care must be taken to state precisely a different point. A well-planned class period will minimize one
partic ular problem which always seems to rear its ugly head — discioline.
Wherever discipline is involved , each teacher must work out his own
solutions. What will work for one teacher will not work for another.
Again , haying a plan or having given some though t to the matter will
lead to quicker solution of problems and , in the long run, fewer problems. For instance, the new teacher might well give some thought to
what he will do when the first note is passed, the first paper-wad thrown ,
or the first gum is chewed. I think that the teacher should be prepared
th e first day to state jus! how he expects things to be conducted , what
he will allow, and what he will not allow.
Finally, I think that some sort of a plan in mind for marking and
| evaluating the students will prove helpful. School policy may enter in the
selection of a final plan to some degree, but having some ideas in the
beginning will still be to ones advantage. More than anything else, the
teacher should be able to ju stify whatever grade he gives.
It must be stated that the above remarks by no means construe that
the author experienced a A;ery successful fir at year of teaching, or even
followed his own advice.
Hind sight being better than foresight , much of the advice given

and i agree, it must be drawn somewhere. To find the point that disposes of this argument we must
again go back to Harry D. and Jim
B. Jim, with 425 points , two away
from a B, received his C. Now comes
the crushing blow to those who
idolize the scale system. Another
student with only 230, 195 points
lower than Jim , also received a C.
Now I ask you — where is the j ustice in this ? Should one student ,
striving lor a high mark , be penalized because he is two points from
j a B, while another student who is
197 points off — receives the same
mark.
The biggest argument for the
, curve is that it aids the average and
j ust-below-average student; thereby giving most people a chance to
obtain a college education. In this
there are fewer A's, but also fewer
D's and E's and a bigger bulk in the
C section , pushing more students
th rough college.
I am , n a t u r a l l y p rej udiced
against the curve system , so its case
has not been presented in too bright
a light. But , if you have come in
contact with the curve system, it is
assured that you can see my point
of view.
The solution to this problem lies
in the 100% marking system. Under this svstem. each test is worth

100 points, thereby weighing each
st udent's knowledge on an equal ,
more fair scale. The teacher, too ,
will find it easier. There will be no
need for long hours spent making
out the curve; the marks are added ,
averaged and that's that . This elimin at es f a voritism , the necessary

for you, before you have a chance to speak for yourself. Our culture
demands that we look our best at all times. Looking your best includes
your posture, cleanliness , good grooming, and proper dress.
A host determines how much you value an invitation by the way you
dress for it; the college staff can tell how much you value campus living
by the way you dress for classes; an employer can tell how much you
respect your position by the way you dress for work.
Your effectiveness, your popularity, and your success do not depend
on good looks or expensive clothes. Making the most of your appeargfnee is not a matter of expense. It is a matter of time for grooming and
thought about what to wear. Let us consider appropriate dress.
What should we wear to classes ? Sport clothes, trim and sturdy, are
suitable for campus wear and for the classroom. Casual clothes, neat and
attractive with simple , tailored accessories, are inexpensive and easy to
wear. Suits , sweaters, blouses, skirts, or tailored dresses are most popular, durable and attractive for women. Sport jackets and sport shirts
with slacks or trousers suffice very well for the young men's college days.
Trim and sturdy clothes are not quite dressy enough for teas and
semi-formal parties. Dressy suits and fancy blouses do go to teas ; smartly styled afternoon dresses are appropriate. Accessories can dress up
nearly any tailored outfit to make it acceptable for small parties and informal social affairs. Men find these affairs less of a problem. A good
suit, shirt and smart tie, plus the usual shined shoes, will take a man
to any informal or even semi-formal party.
Many people lose the j ob they seek because of inappropriate dress.
What shall we wear for that important interview ? Men wear their
usual — a good, clean , well-pressed suit and an appropriate, conservative tie. Shined shoes are most important , as are well-groomed, clean
hands. Women are always appropriately dressed in a suit, hat, bag and
immaculate gloves. A good simple tailored outfit is proper. Last but not
least important, wear clothes in which you are comfortable; and be
sure that you look your best before you go for the interview, so that
when the important moment comes you can forget about your appearance and concentrate on the matter at hand.
You have your teaching position. What to do about clothes ? First,
consider the new situation. If possible, visit the school. What do the
other teachers wear ? Try to conform to the general tone of their fashion, making innovations gradually when they seem to be in good taste.
Avoid extremes. If you feel that something you want to wear may cause
unf avorable comment, do not wear it. There was a time when teachers
were expected to look drab and colorless, but teachers have come into
their own. They dress like people in other professions dress, they express
their own individuality. In fact , they bring forth the comment, "But you
don 't look like a school-teacher!"
Beginning teachers are te mpted to wear campus clothes in the classroom. If your clothes are appropriate to professional wear, and if they
give you a sense of well-being, wear them.But it is possible that you may
need the help of more mature fashions to help you obtain responsible
relationship with the students and with the community. You have a
right to be an individual, but you also have a responsibility to the group
with which you work.
Faultless appearance is not all that is required to give you poise and
self-confidence in your pre-professional or professional life, but confidence in personal appearance is a great asset. It comes with knowing
that all is well. If you have this confiden ce, you have come a long way
toward happiness and success.

Congratulations to the new officers of the Community Government
Association. As student leaders for
the 1959-1960 school year you are
faced with a mammoth j ob. There
are hundreds of students who are
willing to cooperate with you, however. Inj ect a little of your own enthusiasm into their bloodstreams
and you'll find many to be not only
good workers, but effective leaders.
More leaders are what Bloomsburg needs. The CGA you will lead

Shellymen Crush Kutztown, 87-33

Col e ' s Corner
Hero and There ...
The most dangerous intersection you can find on campus is at an
eight by five pile of sawdust on the track field. The broad j ump ends in
the lower part of the pile, the pole vault strip lies on the upper portion,
and the high jump uses the side entrance. Jerry Wright nearly became
a permanent part of the high jump when he pole vaulted onto the apparatus. Come now, we can afford more than one pile of sawdust, can 't
we? (And that brings to mind — anyone want to buy a two-piece pole
vault bar ?)
Mr. Shelly has announced to his track and fleld men that the sawdust
pit is not a spectators ' extension of the Husky Lounge. Some of them
agree. You can get in so much trouble at the Pits.
North Hall...
We hear 'Don Ker is soon to open the BSTC branch of Arthur Murray 's
School of Dance. And to think that a short time ago, Don was j ust a
humble Bloomsburg student giving cha cha lessons in North Hall. By
the way, any Waller Hall resident interested in taking lessons had better
sign up early — limited enrollment.
Talk has it that Social Rec. could save a lot of transportation money
on bowling nights if they would use the facilities already operating in
North Hall. Seems as though shaving cans and basebialls have been disappearing at a fast rate ever since the competition for the Midway Lanes
first appeared in the hall.
Have You Seen....
Have you seen the newest toy designed for intellectual college students ? It's called a wire recorder and will be demonstrated upon request
anyt ime, day or night, by its proud owner in North Hall. So far , three
occupants have fallen prey to the "electronic brain," starring Fred Fry
in closet.
What Happened To ...
— The girls who wanted girls' field hockey ?
— The coffee in the lounge ?
— The bananas served last Sunday ?
— All the books stolen at change of semesters ?
— The damaged TV set mentioned in Council ?
So You Think Tilings Are Bad Now Department...
"Girls will dance with girls and boys will dance with boys at all social
fun ctions except the Homecoming Dance, the Christmas Dance, and at
the picnic." So read the social rules in 1920 at BSTC.
In Bloomsburg Through the Years, Marguerite Kehr gathered notes
from school publications which pointed out interesting facts about student life at BSTC.
Did you know for instance, that:
In 1873, regulations stated , "The young ladies and gentlemen are not
allowed to pause or loiter for conversation with each other in the Hall ,
Society Rooms, or Parlor s, unless in case of special permission. Neither
are they allowed to walk, ride or correspond by letter with each other."
In 1894, a passenger elevator was installed in the dormitory. "Climbing stairs, which is always so difficult for the ladies, is now a thing of the
past, and rooms on the top floors are now sought in preference to those
below."
In 1905, smoking or chewing tobacco was prohibited. "A young man
cannot educate his mind while he is inj uring his brain and nervous system by taking poison in the form of nicotine."
And As For Tennis...
The mud field adjoi ning the new science-business building, formerly
known as the tennis courts, will be made suitable for tennis this summer.
Mr. Houk says the ground crew will do their bes" to put the courts in
shape for warm weather play.
In The Wind ...
The possibility of a golf team has been half-heartedly hashed over by
sports-minded faculty members.
Don 't look for new tennis courts this calendar year. Maybe two to
four within the next several years. Ten n is tea m s till ;a dream.
•It's New ...
The navy blue sweat suits for spring football practice.
Popular, popular records for record dances.
And why is it that not one telephone booth has been stuffed at BSTC ?
Rumor has it that Mr. Vannuci is an undercover member of the Newman Club. Doesn't it seem strange that the Commons served liver on the
same night as the Club's spaghetti supper, and that dinner hour was
moved forward to five o'clock ?

I GOT TAPPED

"B" Club Plans April 25
Trip to World's End Park

by
JIM BRAY

Four weeks left and it looks like
the Fireflies have it in the pocket—
the bowling pocket that is, with
their lead of thirty wins and six
losses. The team, headed by Fred
Conner, has instilled into the league
a real competitive spirit and a desire to win.
The Equalizers lead by Rod Ralston still have a good chance to turn
in an upset, and it may well Happen
because Rod and his team are a
hard working club and aren't finished until the last ball is thrown.
The Red Caps also stand a good
chance for the championship, but
they will have to do a good piece of
bowling in the few remaining games
to capture the title.
It is hard to say what the outcome will be and I am not going to
predict the future. But, Iknow that
whatever team does come out on
top, they will surely deserve it.
For you bowling enthusiasts who
didn 't have an opportunity this past
semester to participate, a program
for summer bowling is being considered. Those who are interested in
this program and feel that they
would like to participate should
contact Dave Stout of the Red Caps.
