Approximately one-third of BSC

The probat ion report, issued by

being in college," Dean John Hoch

Common Sense and
Social Fraternities
Isn't it about time we separate some of the sense from the nonsense
about social fraternities? Later in the year a more detailed study concerning the beneficial and harmful effects of social fraternities will be
presented , but , before any useful criticism can be made, much of the
Lounge talk about fraternities must be dismissed from consideration.
Among advocates of social fraternities, a common phrase, "Bloomsburg is read y for social fraternities/' is often heard. Ready implies
progress. But would the introduction of social fraternities on campus
really be a progressive move?
Many of the top schools in the country prohibit social fraternities,
and in some large universities, where socials have been in existence for
many years, efforts are being made to curtail the influence and power
of the fraternities. One cannot truthfully say that the introduction of
social fraternities would be a forward move. Change is not necessarily
progress.
Another thought ot the pro-socials has been expanded to the point
of the ridiculous. The Ratsheet stated , "The humorous part about the
matter (the Spartans, Rangers, etc.) is that these groups are smiled
upon by the front office when social fraternities are condemned as
cliques." Equating the Spartans and Rangers with the embryonic
forms of social fraternities is erroneous. They are excellent organizations for increasing school spirit, but they are little more than that. We
can hope that they will appear each football season, but we can expect
that they will disappear when the season closes, i
Social fraternities arc praised as the panacea for what is termed
""BSC's social problems." But would fraternities solve the "problems,"
or is it possible that they might cause more problems than they solve?
This is one of the real questions which must be answered objectively
and carefully.
m
Scores of similar questions also deserve thoughtful answers from
students who are willing to examine them rationally. Those who cry,
"Bloomsburg is read y for social fraternities" and "We already have the
beginnings," should be ignored. Only those willing to weigh the pros
and cons before making a decision show any knowledge of the problems
involved.

WITMER'S WHIMPERINGS

by MYLES ANDERSON

Amahl and the Nig ht Visitors, presented by the Choraleers and
the Bloomsburg Players, was a welcome contribution to the Christmas
season at BSC.
Although the Players cooperated, the Choraleers deserve most of
the credit for the quality of the performance. Their hard work resulted
in an outstanding production .
Bloomsburg is usually not considered a center for musical theater,
and this one performance does not establish it as such. Amahl, however,
could be the start of a program to present one musical, not necessarily
an opera annually. Popular musical comedies draw large crowds, and,
though they do not always have the merit of less popular drama, they
are usually good publicity for the school and for the drama group.
Mansfield and Indiana State Colleges have realized the appeal of
musicals and have added yearly musical productions to their theater
season. Mansfield and Indiana have strong music departments, but
Amahl has proved that Bloomsburg has interested students and qualified faculty members who are prepared to meet trie additional obstacles
of musical presentations.
To all who played in or worked for the production we offer our
congratulations.

This is the first message for '61
and I would like to utilize the following space to discuss some of the
facts and figures concerning Spring
Week-end which will be taking
place March 10th and 11th. As most
of you know by now, the space for
the concert on Friday evening has
been filled by The Brothers Four.
The concert will" run from 8:30 to
10:30 p.m. and will be produced in
the Round. The Brothers Four's fee
for this engagement is $1,750.00
plus the privilege of 50% of the
gate receipts.
uoiiege uouncn pians to nave a
House Party in Husky Lounge on
Saturday afternoon from 2:00 to
5:00 p.m. The entertainment for
this activity has not been chosen
as yet but Council expects this
event to cost approximately $200.
On Saturday evening there will
be a semi-formal dance from
9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The music
will be provided by the big band of
Bu ddy Morr ow, which will cost
$1,800.00. So if you go back and add
the financial account j ust presented
and tack on $250.00 for publicity
expenses you should get a total that
ne ar s $4,000.
What About Money ?
Now you are probably asking
yourself "Where in the world is all
the money coming from to pay for
such a week-end ?" Well the answer
is that all the money must come
from the sale of tickets. The price
of admission to each evening performance is $2.00 per person if you
bought separate tickets for each
event . But Council has made it possible for students planning to attend everything during the weekend to-buy a week-end ticket for
only $3.00 per person. To make this
week-end a financial success we
must sell 600 week-end tickets at
$3.00 each and 1,100 concert tickets
at $2.00. The dance on Saturday
evening is only open to students
and their guests. If it becomes financially necessary, we will have to
open it to the public. You can easily
see that to raise the amount of
money needed it will require a lot
of work and support from the student body.

Pardner ! I want to tell you something you just won't believe. No
siree, I ain 't ever seen nothing like it a'fore in my life. Now, youse just
pull up a seat and listen to what I'm agona say.
Enter Cowpok© and Co.
It was during last round-up time, and me and the boys had j ust delivered the herd from Bar-B-S-C to the train and we was aridin ' h ard
back to the ranch. Well sir, about sundown we ride into a little cowpoke town'called Bloomsburg, and we look around for a place to rest
for a while. One of the cow hands, a lad by the name of Ozmanski, set s
his sights on this little red building with the numbers 1889 apointed
on the front , and he won't go no further lessin ' we do n't go in this here
place and see what it's like. Lash Ozmanski says that any place that's
been in business since 1889 jes' has to be a good place to deal.
The Plot Thickens
.So while Tex Morrissey watered down the horses, th e rest of u sins
ambled into this here little building. It was so dark that I couldn't see
awhere we was aheaded. Well sir, first thing I knowed we bumped into
this here wall, but it only came half-way up and there was a ledge all
around it. I placed my hands on that ledge and right aways something
or somebody put a teeny glass in my hand. Well sir, I adrunk it down
and it wasn't bad at all. By this time, me and the boys got used to the
darkness and we saw other people in this here place.
We ciphered for a spell, and we figured that the place was owned by
a Buffalo Bill Hess. He was a right nice feller, but he was always walking around asking people for some kind of little card, and the people
didn't like it at all—'specially the ones who didn't have no little card !
Three cowpokes were behind that half-wall I told youse about—one
went by the name of Fighting Frank , another was called Six-gun Howie,
and the last one was called Two-gun Tom. Now, don't ask me how Howie
had four guns more than Tom. I figered that when any cowboy is acarryin ' six guns, I ain't agoin 'a ask any questions.
Aft er a spell, there' was this little blond haired marm' who came
adashin' into this place, making all sorts of motions to the rest of the
people and atalkin' real f ast and excited like, causin ' a great commotion. The way she was atalkin' I thought for sure the bank had been
robbed , or something just as bad, I heard Buffalo Bill say to Fighting
Frank, "Miss D. wants to borrow a eigareet"!
They Ride Away in the Golden Sunset
Well , sir , after that , we lef t, and I got to thinkin' that that was sure
some experience, and I bet you'll never meet any other folks like those
down in that little red building in that town called Bloomsburg.

We 're not sure exactly how the letter goes, but some of the vets at

become quite explosive with Castro in Cuba and his colleagues in
Laos. Many vets have been trying

Let' s face it students! It's that

time again. Dig deep into your parents' pockets for registration fees;
if you 've already spent that , perhaps you had a good Christmas and
can pawn your typewriter or
watch. Remember the dates: Jan.
16, 17, 18 for advanced registration.
Final registration is on Tuesday,
Jan. 31.
Are you having trouble arranging a* suitable schedule for next
semester? So are we! May we suggest that an information booth be
placed in Waller Hall Lobby with a
well-informed instructor in attendance ?
Kiddie Books Moved
The library is in the news again.
We hear that the juvenile section
has been moved to the training
school . That should make it handy
for the kiddies. It will also make
more room available for our rapidly
expanding curricula. Dr. Seronsy is
working frantically to eliminate
the excuse that "There aren't
enough books on that subj ect in the
library." He's responsible for 3500
books for the English Dept.
Does anyone need a mummy?
We understand that student teachers Barb Uram and Bill Price have
an extra one that takes up too
ivuch space. Keep them in mind,
you may just need a mummy.
We the commuters are determined to get to BSC regardless of
road conditions. College Hill reminds us of the old fairy tale "The
Princess of the Glass Mountain."
Obtaining an education is simple
compared to the problems we encounter trying to get to the institution of higher learning.

CINCINNATI , O. (I.P.) — For
the eighth consecutive year, enrollment of full-time students in American accredited universities and
four-year colleges has increased.
There are well over 2 million fulltime students this fall compared
with the 1,973,948 which were reported in 1959 as their fin al totals
by 995 institutions of higher learninof

These facts are indicated by returns based on estimated enrollment figures from more than 600
institutions received by Dr. Garland G. Parker, University of Cincinnati registrar and central admissions officer . Dr. Parker predicts total full-time and part-time
enrollment in the nation's accredited universities and four-year colleges will "probably be around 2.9
m illion" when final totals are
known later. In 1959 the figure was
2,811,704.
Since their number presages future total enrollments, Dr. Parker
sees significance in the fact that increases in freshman students were
noted by seven out of each ten reporting institutions. Arts and sciences colleges generally indicated
freshman increases, often very substantial . . . Many are private or
church-related colleges.
"It is heartening to note that enrollment of full-time students, including freshmen , has increased in
most of the teachers colleges and
engineering c o l l e g e s reporting.
These ore areas of great national
need where we have been falling
short in recent years," he said.
"While the upward student surge
this fall appears larger than many
had expected, the big bulge in collegiate enrollment will arise a few
years hence when the present elementary school pupils become college students," Dr. Parker comments.
The Brothers Four have been selected as one of the entertainment
groups to appear in March and
early reactions to the choice seem
quite promising.
There are people with problems
and there are people with PROBLEMS ! We have been appointed to

January, when the wind is rattling t h e windows in Husky

Co-eds Are Eligible
To Enter Competition

All undergraduate college girls
between the ages of 17 and 22 are
eligible to compete for a national
crown and $5,000 in prizes in the
National College Queen Contest.
Free entry blanks and complete details can be obtained by writing to:
National College Queen Committee,
Paramount Building, 1501 Broadway, New York 36, New York. Any
co-ed interested in entering the
contest may be nominated by herself or by classmates.
Judging will be based on attractiveness, personality, scholastic accomplishments and campus activities. The board of judges does not
seek a "beauty queen." Instead , it
searches for a truly typical college
girl.
Included in the prizes are a twoweek tour of Europe, a complete
wardrobe, other merchandise gifts,
and , if the winner is interested in
theater, a $1,600 scholarship in the
Dramatic Workshop in New York
City.
The National Finals will be held
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in
April, 1961. Regional contests will

Remley
The Europeans Bill remembers
best are law students in Munich ,
students with whom he spent many
hours of congenial, open-minded
discussion on the problems students 'round the world face. In discussions elsewhere in Europe, Bill
did detect some degree of antiAmericanism. The attitude was especially evident in Austria.
Certainly Bill Remley's memories run deep. To print them here
would be an impossibility—but
talking to Bill is not an impossibility, and it could prove very interesting.

Departments Compile
Extensive Book Lists

Several of the departments of the
college are in the process of compiling extensive lists of books for
the library or are planning to do so.
The department of communications, consisting of English, Foreign
Languages, and Speech has brought
its compilation almost to an end.
Several other departments are beginning work on the same project.
Within a year 's time a large number of these books should be on
hand for use, and thereaf te r th ere
will probably be a steady flow of
such additions to the library.

Enthusiastic Mu sicians Form New Grou p

Students and instructors have combined their musical talents to form
a new organization on campus, the BSC Combo. The group made its
firs t public appearance at the Christmas party sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children and Sigma Alpha Eta at the Memorial
School. The faculty is represented by Mr. Sam Shilling, who plays the
clarinet , and Mr. Robert Mease, the bass violist. Rose Marie Fisher, the
savaphonist, Don Denick, the accordianist, and Tom Hix on , pianist, are
the student members of the Combo. Janet La Coe, Dean McClauslin's
secr etary , is the vocalist for the group. The Combo is planning to play
for one of the Wednesday night dances on campus and is willing to accept more engagements. Any students or faculty members who are
musically inclined are urged to contact one of the members.

Husky Matmen Successful
Im Early Season Meets

Opening1 the season with a trip to the Midwest, the Husky wrestling
squad faced some of the stlffest competition they will undoubtedly face
all year. They came through in true Bloomsburg fashion though, and
Coach Houk was well pleased with his charges.
Two of the three matches were in Minnesota. The first was against a
very, strong Mancato team that is currently ranked among the top ten
teams in the nation. Still stiff from the long drive, the grapplers made
a valiant bid but dropped a 20-10 outcome to their hosts. Don Sarinelli,
Bill Hughes, Dick Scarese, and Don Poust were the chief point-getters.
Sarinelli won by decision and the others by virtue of a draw.
\Moving on to Winona, Minn. , the Huskies rebounded from their loss
by beating Winona State 18-12. Bill Hughes, "Otz" Gorant and Gene
Dixon defeated their opponents while Scarese, Poust, and Dick Stemfli
earned draws.
The next and last stop was at Wisconsin State where our strength
became evident by the lop-sided score 20-5. Hughes, Gorant, Scarese,
Poust, Dixon, Stemfli , and Garson all helped to insure the boys of a
nlpasant innrn ev hank to pamnns

We were glad to note the Husky
grapplers were highly successful
during the holidays while we were
home sipping on egg nog and what
have you. It appears as though Russ
Houk has come up with another
winner this year and excluding injuries, should be the team to beat
in the State Conference. At any
rate their impressive 20 to 8 victory
at Shippensburg last week should
be some indication of their power,
and should certainly attract a packed house this Saturday night at

Post Season Honors
We notice that the post-seasonal
honors are now complete with the
placing of Moses Scott and Bob
Warren on the honorable mention
All-Pennsylvania squad and the
placing of Stan Hugo on the honorable mention Little-American. This
is quite an accomplishment for boys
from such a small college. Congratulations men!
This column does not usually
print rumors, merely because of the
fact that most of those which we
receive are not worth printing, but
one has come to our attention lately that seems to fill the bill. We've
heard that. "Mr. Basketball," Dick
Lloyd , who eats, sleeps, talks,
walks, crawls, and dreams basketball, even dated basketball on New
Yea r's Eve. How about that Dick ?

New Swimming,Coach
We notice that there has been an
administrative change an the swimming team with Mr. Zeigler taking
over as head coach and Tom Little
being relegated to student coach.
This is indeed a break for the team
who are depending on Tom for distant swimming. This will give him
a chance to concentrate on conditioning himself , as I understand
that during the holidays his waist
jumped from 32" to 35". Lots of
luck with your weight problem
Tom.
Huskies Impressive
We were quite impressed with
the fine showing of the Husky "ballhawks" last Saturday. Their brand
of basketball seems much improved
over last year. This could be accredited to their new coach, Mr.
Foster , who has pressed the boys
hard since the beginning of the season. It also might be accredited to
the fine performances turned in by
newcomers such as Gary Ruppert,
and the continued success of last
year 's stand-outs, Dick Lloyd and
Norm Shutovich.
Well , that about wraps it up in
sports this week, but first one final
word. We are all pressed with this
three week grind of exams, but
most of us find time to support the
efforts of the Huskies. Make sure
you do too.
