SATCHMO SINGS
AND

SWINGS
Yes, we've got Louis Armstrong . . . on campus . .. November 23.
The question "Where's Louis Armstrong?" was asked in this column
last year. At last we can answer this question. The social recreation
committee, in spite of all the red tape involved, h as ma naged to secure
a big name on our campus.
This announcement will undoubtedly be responsible for great anticipation on the part of BSTC students. But we, in our editorial capacity,
wi.sh to insert a sobering thought.
This year an allocation of twenty-five hundred dollars was given to
the social recreation committee to secure top entertainment on campus,
with the stipulation that this enterprise must prove successful. If the
attempt is well received, this will become an annual event. If the project is a financial failure, it will be the last time that consideration will
be given to such an idea.
In theory 1250 tickets must be sold at $2.00 each to break even on
an event such as this. This is a considerable number of tickets to be
sold for a performance on a Monday night. Considering the fact that
almost half of our college commutes, and many seniors are student
teaching in distant communities, the college is gambling against odds.
An attempt of this sort is a fine idea , but must be supported by the
entire college community. It takes more than the social recreation committee to endorse the idea. Each and every student must co-operate
to make this venture successful. Save your dollars to see Satchmo sing
and swing !

WITH THE GREEKS
Last spring at the State Teachers College Government Convention
at Slippery Rock STC social fraternities were discussed and rediscussed.
It was decided that the State Teachers Colleges, as a whole, we r e not
read y to accept social fraternities as a part of their college life.
In the near future when some of these schools offer graduate work ,
we feel that the honorary fraternities now on the campus may pave the
way for social fraternities.
Fraternities, whether social or honorary, should be the mainstay of
campus activity. This is not the case at Bloomsburg. At the risk of
mentioning names, we must give a vote of thanks to Sigma Alpha Eta
and to Phi Sigma Pi for sponsoring at least one activity a year. Those
fraternities not mentioned may be working within the confines of their
organization ; however, we believe tbat they should take a more active
part in campus life . This does not mean that these groups should put
themselves in debt to insure the college community of a splashy social
aflair. We are merely suggesting that they undertake some activity
beneficial to the college community.
Since organizations are best equipped to incite activity, they arc by
their very nature responsible for doing so. Unfortunate ly for the college, this responsibility is not recognized. We feel it is time for them lo
wake up and assume the leadershi p which they possess.

The further adventures of the
Commuters are brought to you
thro ugh the cooperation of Lois
Carpenter , who has agreed to pick
up anywhere we leave off and type
the result. A service key for Lois!
We were on campus for the first
time this year to attend the senior
meeting. ^They 're n ot at all su re
we're graduating, but at least we're
going through the motions of being
seniors.) Have you noticed we're
teaching a unit on parenthesis ?
Anyw ay , as we started to say , we
were on campus for the first time,
and we've never seen so many unfamili ar faces in all our 42 years
(we ' ve aged considerably during
the past few weeks) . Either the
war baby boom has reached the college level or else the plastic surgeon people did a remarkable business this summer.
Did you know there is a little old
lady at the PSEA building in Harrisburg, whose j ob consists of
counting $2.00 bills received from
the affl uent members of the 14 senior classes.
Guess who is going to be the next
governor of our commonwealth ?
We refuse to discuss this matter
further since hearing the NEA's
case study on politi cs in the classroom.
Most controversial question of
the week! Would Sigma Alpha Eta
really make more money at the fair
on a girlie show ?
We 're doing so well that our students may even make us honorary
patrol boys.
Well, we gotta attend P.T.A.
(party time again.) Lotsa Luck,
Lois (nex t unit—alliteration.)
If penmanship is offered as an
elective for secondary students
next semester , Robin—please enroll . My eyes are blood-shot from
trying to read your "scratch " copy.
The skirt styles this year on campus are short . The story goes a little
differently for downtown student
teachers. It seems the administration feels the rising hemline is a
bad influence on the morals of the
grade school child.
Next year the Commuters are
going to make some money at the
fair . We have one special feature
set up already—Sandy Clark' s car
does the "shimmy " at 40 miles per
hour.
Commuting is fun when you have
a chauffeur—gives you more time
to survey the troops.
Before closing, let's have a moment of silent prayer for all commuters who are student teaching—
and especially for Robin and Nikki.
Thanks to Carol Housenick and
her transferred WILSON talents
and yo u, too , Clark.

¦"^-Rumor hath it that the faculty is increasing by leaps and bounds. We
shall be the very first to either confirm or disprove i this' rumor, as soon
as we get around to attending classes this semester. Until such time
as we can grant our perso nal worfis of welcome to new members of the
faculty, may we extend our heartiest congratulations — and welcome to
Pandemonium ! ( Also: No butting of cigarettes on the floor of Husky
Lounge!)
•^SIGNS OF THE TIME, or The Handwriting is on the Wall:
The faculty has been increased; the student body has been increased;
the price of books has been increased; the Basic Fee has been increased ;
the general confusion connected with college "lif e" has been increased.
Students of the world , unite! You have nothing to lose but your Activities Fees. (Subj ect to increase at any time.)
EXCLUSIVES ( a copyrighted feature of this often mis-quoted column) :
For a blurred-eye view of the Fair, see Rich Wolfe. At last sighting
he still thought Cai'rie Nation was one of Bubbles ' girls.
All Seniors guilty of not paying their PSEA dues will be denied the
rare privilege of reading Dave Laubach's poem of protest, "Gullible's
Travels. " It will appear in Miss North's column in a future issue.
What fraternity on the campusphere has decided that their Annual
Jazz Concert has become a little too annual for comfort ? Seems they
are now open to suggestions for an alternate event. It has been suggested that the Phi Sigma Pirates sponsor an annual lingerie raid ( the
terminology is a special courtesy for female readers.)
Council has toyed with plans to bring in the Kingston Trio for THE
event of the semester. For a while the proposal had tough sledding. It
was fin ally discovered that Mrs. Miller was not employing her veto
because she hates music; she simply could see no reason for paying $1500
j ust to bring three men down from Kingston. * "
Was Centennial Gymnasium so named because approximately every
one hundred years something noteworthy happens there ?
ATTENTION MEMBERS OF MEMORIAL COMMITTEE!!!! It js
possible for the Class of 1960 to establish a greatly needed student aid
fund; the dividends from a $700 block of stock in Jamaica-Bermuda
Sports Clothes, Ltd ., would easily pay for the establishing of a rotating
scholarship for bow-legged students who don't intend to teach anyway .
ATTENTION STATUS SEEKERS — and all off-campus students
who still haven't found rooms or apartments in the gateway to scenic
Pennsylvania!!! Bill Hess has also felt the effects of a crowded college
community. He has been forced to increase the facilities of "The Little
Red Schoolhouse. " (Bill's policy — since 1889 — Please Pay When
Served.)
The epidemic of sleeping sickness has hit BSTC, in the form of Pedagogical Lag. The College Infirmary is in a dither after discovering that
this is one fatal disease which even APC' s can't touch.
Af ter much deliberation , we have decided upon a recipient for our
Semi-Monthly Laurels Award. (This award has been half-heartedly
established in reply to our critics, who say The Old Philosophers never
say anything good about anybody!) To Marty, who replaced Cephus,
who replaced Henry, who came with Husky Lounge: We never had it so
clean!
To Sandra Moore : we, the undersigned — if we're lucky — award the
social Kiss of Death (In answer to our critics, who were right!) Sandy ,
we feel hurt. Hurt , do you hear ? Hurt, hurt, HURT! Even Walter Winchell gets a by-line!
Until our heads return from the rabies laboratory — Excelsior!

* Dr. Seronsy could see no reason either. He says that most ignorance
is a temporal, relative thing. Who, for instance among the student body
has heard of Ann Corio ?

by JIM BRAY
As the second week of intram ural
bowling comes to a close, much
enthusiasm and spirit is being
shown by the boys. The Dutchmen
and the Sober 5 are tied for the
lead with four points each.
For the first two weeks of the
season, Wagner holds the high ayerage with a 170. The high scoring
for an individu al game goes to Hoffman with a 230, while the high
scoring for a three game series
go es to Wagner with a 526.
The Dutchmen hold the record
for the most pins in a single game
with 848. The Snappers hold this
lead in a three game series with
2407.
We are looking forward to a
great semester of bowling. I have
been told by many fellows that this
year 's bowling has been the best
that has hit the campus in a long
time. Bowling is a clean sport enj oyed by both its participants and
observers. So, bye for now and
we 'll be looking for you Wednesday

Yellow Springs, O. (I.P. ) — The
practice of granting academic credit for attendance at assemblies at
Antioch College has been rescinded.
The idea was adopted by the Educational Policy Committee with the
concurrence of Community Council
and St udent Personnel Committee.
Although credit is not given under the new plan , it does state that
"attendance at assemblies of a variety of types and purposes, as selected by the assembly committee
(is) expected without credit. College assemblies are intended to be
educational in nature , and attendance is expected as part of the general education program.
"The number of assemblies should
not exceed six in any one quarter.
Students will be expected to attend
most of these assemblies as an obligation of citizenship . "

With last year 's 12-0 win over Millersville tucked snugly under their
belts, the Huskies are out for another tally in the win department of the
Millersville series next Saturday. Their j ob won't be an easy one. Although coach George Katchmer admitted early in the season that he was
thin at center, end and left halfback , he has now bolstered these positions and hopes to leave the field with the heavy end of the score when
the Huskies visit. Katchmer has altered his offense since the '58 season
from a regular multiple offense to a multiple slot with many variations ,
the straight T, split T, wing T, and single wing. This fall , he has the
personnel to run them efficiently.
Back from the '58 squad are twenty-six great veterans. On the line ,
Kat chmer has ends Jack Goodling and Jim Harf , and tackles, John
Pavlick and Dennis Telfer, with plenty of experience and drive. BSTC

course without grade system at
Wesleyan University has been
unanimously approved by every
teacher who has had a credit-audit
student in his class. The teachers
cited the system as a step towards
Wesleyan's aim for "learning for
learning's sake."
In a poll of all 35 of the professors who had students in their class
under the course without grade system, 80% of this faculty group telt
the privieleg should be excenaed to
honor students ot the sophomore
class and 39% felt that talon ted
freshmen should also reap the benefits of such a procedure.
The course without grade system , commonly but incorrectly
called the credit-audit system here,
was originally proposed by the student curriculum committee. Under
the system, each j unior and senior,
as a part of his regular quota ot
courses, is permitted to elect and
designate in each semester one
course for which he will be granted
the usual academic credit but without an official grade on his record.
This procedure has the following
provisions:
1. The course designated must lie
outside the student's Concentration
Program.
2. The student must have permissio n, in advance, of the instructor of the course.
3. The student should perform
the work and otherwise fulfill all
the regular requirements of the
course to the satisfaction of the instructor.
4. If the student fails to achieve
a minimum standing of performance sufficient for credit, the student would receive no credit for
the co u rse, but with the instructor's
approval, be recorded as having
audited the course.

..Freshmen and 53 a.te transfer from
other colleges and universities.
These students represent;142 different high schools located 'in 40 counties of Pennsylvania as i well as' the
Canal Zone, Delaware, New Jersey,
and New York.
Columbia County leads in Freshmen registration with ll2 si'udents,
closely followed by Luzerne (96 )
and Northumberlan d (74). These
co u nties , along with Montour (21),
comprise Bloomsburg's service area.
This total of 304 students from this
service area accounts for 53 per
cent of the new students. •
The remaining 47 per cent of the
new students come from Delaware
County in the southeast (13) to Allegheny in the southwest (2), and
from Wayne County in the northeast (2) to McKean County in the
northwest (4) . Other counties with
large representations are Schuylkill (37 ) , Lycoming (28 ) , Montgomery (22) , Dauphin (17), and Bucks
( 12).
Of th e 573 students studied , 68
per cent or 390 students were graduated in the upper two-fifths of
their high school classes. The median qualifying examination score
of Bloomsburg Freshmen appears
to be slightly above average compared to college freshmen across
the nation . Twenty-seven (27 ) per
cent fall in the category classified
above average or superior, while 59
per cent are in the interval embracing the average American college
freshman. Test scores for the remaining 14 per cent fall slightly below the latter interval, but , in the
Judgment of admissions offi cials ,
these students have academic and
personal characteristics which make
them good candidates for the teaching profession.
