"Amahl and Night Visitors" Open Tonight in Carver
Ben Franklin Second Graders Learn
French Rapidly and Naturally

French students—are you having
diffi culty learning French ? Shame
on you. The children of Benj amin
Franklin Elementary School learn
French as early as the second
gi uui -.

The teaching is conducted on an
aural-oral basis. The childre n don 't
see the words, but learn by watching the teacher 's lips and by lisiening very closely. When we learned
to speak English , we learned by listening, not by grammar and vocabulary lessons. This is the basic principle in the teaching of a foreign
language in the elementary school
—learning the speak the "nat u ral "
way. This not only teaches another
language, but also develops better
listening habits on all levels for the
child. Sounds must be heard many
times for both better understanding and appreciation.
Students "Think French"
During a French lesson, expl anations and commands are given in
French. This instills an attitude of
"think French." The children can
successfully count from one to one
hundred in French. They know the
French alph abet, the names of articles in the classroom as well as
parts of the classroom, how to say
their names in French, five French
songs, seasons of the year, days of
the week , months of the year, polite words, greetings, and m any
other phrases and sentences.
Last year the children presented
a French Christmas program for
their parents and plan another one
this year. Other activities have included a P.T.A. French program for
parents and French demonstrations
for several college classes.
May Begin Second Language
This program initiated last year,
has been acclaimed as highly successful, and it is felt that the children are ready to begin study a second foreign language.
The need for better global understanding necessitates a knowledge
of at least two languages.

Opportunity Wast ed

by MYLES ANDERSON

During 1959-60 a total of 2000 tickets was available for the Civic
Music Series ; 500 for each concert. Of these 2000 tickets, 1107 were
unused. For last year's series $1500 was donated by College Council to
the downtown fund. Thus, each of the 893 tickets used cost $1.68.
An unfavorable conclusion about BSC students could easil y be
drawn from the attendance figures quoted above. We would prefer to
think that the concerts were scheduled during exceptionally busy
times — but not one of them was presented during a major exam or
term paper period , and no all-college function is permitted on the
night of a Civi c Music concert (thoug h one was conducted several
weeks ago when Walter Hautzi g appeared.) We would also like to
presume that the artists did not reach Bloomsburg standards — but
the Serenaders, Maria Svetlova , Amparo Iturbi , and Henri Noel are
recognized elsewhere as outstanding performers.
Perhaps clearer thinking would reveal a lack of student interest.
Why this lack of interest we do not know , but the Civic Music Series
is worthwhile — and relatively inexpensive. Perhaps attendance figures
will rise this year. It would be a good sign.

Time for a Change
It's time for a change in Maroon and Gold policy.
Please note that no Letters to the Editor appear in this issue. This
is a result of a decision by the Maroon and Gold staff to reduce the
number of unsigned letters. We hate to see the column empty because
it can be one of the most interesting and provocative sections of a
college^ newspaper, but an improvement was needed in the Letters
department.
During the first quarter of this year we had been printing letters
with names withheld by request. This practice will be continued —
but only if the writer can present sound reasons wh y his name should
not be attached to the letter published. The Maroon and Gold will
no longer be a shield for cowardice.
Thoughts

Flee

Heated discussions often flare up in Husky Lounge. Constructive
and practical decisions are sometimes reached . However, put a pen
in the radical thinker's hand and his thoughts seem suddenly to have
left him. When we ask a student to write a letter to the M and G
about the subject he has been discussing for the past half-hour , we
usually get a repl y, "Do you think I don't want to graduate?"
This is nonsense ! Please remember that BSC students are supposedly
in the free-thinking atmosp here of a college. There is no penalty for
logical and just criticism. The administration is not a censoring or
penalizing bod y. It is as interested as students in the improvement of
the school. However, the points of view are somewhat different. Administrators are usually more concerne'd with the academic life of the
college, and the students discuss the social life of the institution.
Trials and Tribulations

Last year the Maroo n and Gold ran an open letter on the sports
page about the "carry-all ," the slang term for the station wagon used
to transport athletes to away games. For this letter the M and G was
mildl y reprimanded in College Council. A reply from the newspaper
was made , and the matter , to our knowledge, was dropped. No action
was taken against Tom Gladsk y, the author of the article, or against
the paper.
On another occasion what should have been a letter from an officer
of CGA was unfortunatel y printed as an editorial on college policy .
Some of the points presented were worthwhile, but its publication as
an* editorial violated fundamental journalistic practices. Soon after
the issue appeared , the M and G received a memorandum cautioning
against the use of the editorial columns as a "wailing wall." This
situation has been corrected. Editorial comment is now reserved for
members of the staff BUT space in Letters to the Editor is still open
for all, CGA officers included.
Two anonymous publications have, at various times , appeared on
campus. With them we have no quarrel , but we no longer wish to
cloak opinion with anonymity.
The Maroon and Gold welcomes Letters to the Editor but does not
invite unsigned and cowardly attacks.

In this AD LIBing session my
thoughts center around the question of big name entertainment for
next semester. In the next few
inches I am going to -tell you some
of the people that were contacted
and the reasons for their not being
able to appear on this campus on
Marrh 10 anrl 11

Berman , Trio Unavailable
Fir st , let us start off with Shelly
Berman. Berman this year is only
touring during the month of February ; therefore, leaving him out of
the race. Another reason that it
looks very unlikely that we can 't
possibly get him is that he will not
fly on an airplane because of some
hazards that he has met in using
them. The Kingston Trio will be in
Australia for the month of March.
These guys are definitely too big for
us right now. Wh en I called their
agent about them the first question
he asked me was, "How big is your
arena at Bloomsburg?" The Trio
will not play more than three concerts a week and will not sing anywhere unless the place of appe arance seats at least 6,000 people.
Their price for a two-hour performance is $7,500 plus 60% of the gate
receipts. Fats Domino will be touring in the west and Louis Prima
and Keely Smith are not booking at
all for that month . Hampton and
Ellington will be in Las Vegas that
week-end. Bobby Darin is not making any personal appearances as far
as we know until he settles down
with his new wife, Sandra Dee.
Johnny Mathis is using that month
for recording and rest. Harry Belafonte is not sure if he wants to
lengthen his touring time, and he is
definit ely out of the question financially. Lloyd Price and his gang
will be touring the New England
coast that month. Mort Sahl is
booked up until September, 1961.
Stan Kenton hasn't made up his
mind as to what area of the country he wants to tour. The best offers will decide this.
The Voice Too Much !
Frank Sin a tr a 's pri ce i s $35 ,000
plus Nelson Riddle 's O rchestra or
Billy M ay 's big band (no comment.) Ella Fitzgerald will be in
Norman Grantz 's Jazz at the Philharmonic Tour throughout February and March. There are many
others that just, fall under the category "BOOKED." I hope that this
pen session of mine gave you some
info on why we can't get ju st every body to come to BSC.
Cool it till next year.

Auchinschlos s Continues Stu dy

BUMAS CIGARETTI DISCOVERED
by LINDA WITMER

\

by DOTTfE BORN, JEANJNE AYRES, PAT SEIBER

Bloomsburg students will be interested to find that the psychological
stu dy being undertaken on campus has now directed its attention to
Husky Lounge. At a recent interview, t h e h ead of t h e r esearc h team ,
Dr. Adolf von Auchinschloss, stated that the faculty is tremendously
interested in the activities of their students in the Lounge. Some faculty
members were reported to be somewhat disturbed about the fact that
their students prefer staying in "that smokey old lounge " rather than
going to classes. Dr. Auchinschloss assured those professors that he
would find the answer to this question.
Although the study is far from being complete, Dr. Auchinschloss
feels that he has uncovered some significant traits of the students who
frequent the lounge.

Christina

John Johnson, a hard-charging,
smooth-running fullback, has been
chosen by the Maroon and -Gold
Sports Staff as our "Back of the
Year" for his outstanding contributions to this year 's fine Husky
squad.
John is a 21 year old senior from
Bristol, Pennsylvania, and is enrolled in the secondary curriculum.
He will be student teaching at
Bloomsburg High School next semester.
This was John 's fourth and best
year on the varsity team. He averaged well over six yards a carry,
scoring six touchdowns for the
year. His brilliant running forced
the opponent defense to adjust to
the Husky style of ball. Coach
Blair , in fact, even devised a special play, "The Joh n son Jolter," to
take advantage of Johnny 's talents.
John says his greatest thrill in
football was something that ' happened back in his freshman year.
Playing against California, Pa.,
John entered the game in its waning moments. He took a handdff on
his own 30 and raced 70 yards for
a touchdown. It was a beautiful
run but, unfortunately, an infraction was committed and the play
was nullified.
J. J. lists as his favorites jazz of
any kind, sports events, and turkey
sandwiches. His pet peeve is East
Stroudsburg officiating.
John hopes to land a teaching posi t ion i n or arou nd Bristol . At the
present , h e has no intentions of
coaching and plans to devote himself entirely to his job .

Bob Christina, 5' 10" , 185 lbs.,
sophomore centar, has been chosen
as the outstanding lineman of the
year by the Sports Staff of the
Maroon ami Gold.
Bob attended West Hazleton
High School where he played three
years of Varsity football. Upon
graduation he enlisted in the Army.
After nine months of active duty,
Bob was sent to an Army prep
school where he received a Regular
Army appointment to West Point.
Bob played football with the West
Point plebes for about two weeks
when a dislocated shoulder forced

Bob came to us in January of
1959. As a freshman he gained the
reputation of an outstanding linebacker and the spark plug of the

About this time every year the "Christmas Spirit" is evident at BSC,
and all over the country people are making their Christmas lists to
"Santa." In order to keep things in step with this annual custom, I am
including our list of things which we would like to see the benevolent
"old soul" drop off at BSC.
1. A "Training Table." for the Athletes. I know that this is an "old
sore" around campus and that steps have been taken to make this comfort a reality , but before I graduate in 1963, 1 would like to see the athletes have more than five minutes to shave, shower , dress , and get to
dinner. (On e fellow complained to me that he lost more weight making
the dash from Centennial Gym to the dining hall than he did all week
wrestling. )
2. Continued Support of the Student Body. I know Coach Blair expresses his sincere thanks to the entire study body this year for their
fine support of both home and away games. I also believe that figures
will show that this year 's attendance was far better than last year's.
The idea now is to continue this support and recognition of your teams
in the fut ure.
8. Recognition to the All-Conference Selectees. Our congratulations
go out to Bob Warren , Moses Scott , Jimmy Conrad, Ed Cocco and John
Sills for being selected to thi s year 's All-Conference list. The fact that
five of our Huskies made the list lends further evidence to the fact that
we had a team that played as a unit and each and every individual did
his j ob well. I think the fact that we have these fellows on campus
should at lpast hp arknnwl prlcrprt in asspmhlv (if in no othf>r wavl

4. Good Marks for Moses Scott. We would sincerely like to see that
fellow wearing a Husky uniform next season. We would like the Phi
Sigma Pi tutoring service to look into this case.
5. Some new ends for Coach Blair. Maybe you don't realize it, but we
are graduating five of our seven varsity ends in June. The coaching staff
will probably be bringing up a couple from the J. V.'s, but unless someone grows a little, this only gives us four for next year 's squad.
There are a few other things the coaches would probably like tc
have: for instance, Tom Little would like a few more swimmers of the
Don Young caliber; Coach Foster probably wouldn't be perturbed if
he were given a couple of agile 6 ft. 6 in. forwards; and Coach Houk
would love to find another wrestler of the Gary Allen caliber.
I realize that we are making great demands of "Santa," but I believe
in "shooting for the moon "— "that way you can't overshoot your mark."
