If the Shoe Fits

In the past , several hi gh school administrators have become increasingly more sensible about the practice of hazing for initiates in
the clubs in the nation's secondary schools.
Tri-Hi-Y's, Hi-Y's, and pep organizations in some hi gh schools
were once known primaril y for initiation practices, but now that their
hazing privileges have been removed they have been able to devote
themselves to more worthwhile programs.
Administrators have realized that initiations designed mainly for
publicity and the pleasure of regular members hardly promote the
ideals which the clubs claim.
^ v "Indian Day," "Artists' Day," and other days for weird costumes
and strange behavior are a thing of the past at most secondary schools.
One club is no longer able to "run" school life for a week a year.
We can be glad at BSC that foresighted policy-makers included
the following statement on page 104 of the Pilot:
Mock initiations, "Prep Week" activities , etc., are contrary to the
aims and purposes of honorary and professional fraternities and participation in them automatically terminates membership and recalls
all insignia.
Perhaps enforcement will follow shortly.

The Elections

Hindsight

The recent CGA elections created quite a controversy on campus.
The discussions were centered upon the candidates and their campaign tactics and upon the Community Government Association itself.
A closer examination of the facts, however, indicates that the controversy had its beginnings even before the campaign speeches were
given. It appears that several weeks before the election , there was
only one candidate who was willing to run for the office, of president.
Several likely students were approached , but all refused to be drafted
for nomination. Finally, two well-qualified candidates were drafted,
and the nominations were held. This leads us to pose the question :
WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO FIND STUDENTS
WHO ARE WILLING TO RUN FOR CGA POSITIONS?
The campai gn speeches led to heated discussions by the student
body as to whether or not the CGA had satisfied the needs of the entire
student body during the past year. The CGA defended itself in an
ill-timed letter , released to the student body the day before the election was held. Most students agreed that the letter was valid , but
many also wondered why the letter was not held for release until after
the election, if, as it stated , it was written in defense of the CGA activities throughout the last year.
Both candidates should have had "equal time." Both men gave
campaign speeches, and therefore if one man could be supported in
a letter to the student body, the other should have been given the
chance to reply. Obviousl y, this was almost impossible because less
than twenty-four hours remained in which to compose and distribute
a reply.
If the Maroon and Gold were given the opportunity to prin t the
news contained in the minutes of CGA immediately following a meeting, the students might be better-informed as to the action taken by
Council , the eliminating the need for the distribution of letters by
the CGA.
Because of the breakdown in communication between Council and
the student body, candidates who have not previously served in Council are often misinformed—and subject to attack for their lack of information. "Council experience" is consequently given weight which
it does not deserve.
,
, .. What can be done to correct the present situation ?
(1) Lines of communication between Council and students should
be improved. Frequent reports to classes by representatives have been
suggested , but the suggestion has not been followed up.
(2) Representatives should be contacted and pressured by students to introduce worthy programs.
Council and the student bod y must work together to builcl student
government at BSC. As things now stand, the power of Council is increasing yearl y, but its presti ge is declining.

"Glamour " Runs Contest
Each year Glamour magazine invites numerous colleges and univers i t ies in the Unit ed St a te s to
pick a best-dressed coed and enter
this nationwide contest. The editors of Glamour then choose the
ten best-dressed coeds in the nation , and these lucky girls are
guests of the magazine for a twoweek stay in New York. Last year,
Bloomsburg 's Carol Housenick was
one of the ten chosen from all the
schools which entered the contest.
Sponsored ByM&G
The contestants were chosen by
a commi tte e h eaded by the Maroon
and Gold. The other contestants
were Betsy Whiteriight, a freshman from Bloomsburg; Lois Detato, a sophomore from Pittston ;
Linda Dennison, a sophomor e fro m
Zion Grove; and Carolle Jones, a
j unior from Plymouth. The girls
were chosen because they have
good t ast e in clothes , practice good
grooming, know how to use makeup and accessories effectively, and
are in line with Bloomsburg 's own
fashion dictates. The three outfits
which Stephanie modeled, an oncampus oufit , an off-campu s outfit ,
and a party dress, will be photographed and sent into the magazine .

her spare time , which Stephanie

While she was in high school,
Stephanie got her first taste of

her to start teaching dancing when
she was 12 years old. After a year
of student teaching she became a
regular teacher. »

What' s the Problem?

Snack Bar Service Causes Complaint
by DIANNE CAMPBELL

"Lack of space is cited as the
majo r reason for the slow service
at the Snack Bar, says Mr. Willia ms. For every two people taking
orders there must be one person
making them. Because of the small
working space there can be a maximum of only six people working behind the snack bar. If there were
more, there would be a great deal
of confusion and service would be
slowed even more. This is the problem that prevails.
A hungry student is a crabby and
unreasonable student and because
he has to wait for service a great
deal of complaints are made. This
situation cannot be alleviated while
the snack bar is situated in its present location. We'll have to grin and
bear it.
A little reflection on the subje ct
will reveal that in 1958, when the
lounge was first put into use, the
facilities were more than adequate.
However, in the following years the
college population has increased
considerably, causing not only
crowded dorms but also a crowded
snack bnr.
The money for the building of the
lounge wns taken from the profits
of the old book store for a period of
over fifteen years. When $30,000
hud boon accumulated , Ih o building
began.
When the students enmc back
I'vom (holr Christ nu\s vacation In
Jnmmry 1956, they found iho doors
to lhc» lounge open. This was the

first time anything like this had
ever been done on campus and the
appreciation of it was clearly
shown on their faces.
The Husky Lounge has now become commonplace to BSC students. Some students fail to remember that the snack bar and
book store not only serve in making purchaseable items more convenient , but also render a monetary
service. In the 1960-61 term alone ,
$6,150 has been given to student
benefits. This, broken down, amounts to $2,700 for the wrestlers'
trip to Denver and $3,450 which has
been deposited into the National
Defense fund for loans. Also, the
costs of repairing tables, chairs and
booths , the replacement of broken
glasses and the employees pay are
taken out of the profits.
As you can see, this is a rather
complex concern. It not only pays
for itself , but also makes funds
available for student use. The student is aided by the convenience
and donations , therefore, he has little reason to complain about the
minor inconvenience of waiting to
be served.

Who Is Your Ideal
Man or Woman?
by ELAINE CHUTE

Last semester Mr. Bashore, conducting a survey in his psychology
classes, asked his students to list
the attributes of their Ideal Man or
Women . No clues as to expected
answers were given. Of the 100 students who participated, 55 were
men and 45 were women .
Women List Personality
The women listed 83 separate
items, most of which were personality factors. These most frequently mentioned were : considerate and
thoughtful; warm, pleasing personality ; fond of children and animals ;
ambitious ; and kind. The women
listed only general physical qualities of their Ideal Man. General
comments made by the women
about their Ideal were: "What
other woman want but I have; one
who respects my intelligence; one
who is capable of total love ; and
one who is genuine."
The men listed 120 separate
ite ms , most of which were physical
features. The male concepts of the
Ideal Woman include : warm, pleasing personality; good looks; understanding; blonde or brown hair;
sexy or relatively so; 110 to 115
pounds ; slim legs; perfect teeth;
and vital statistics of 36-22-36.
General male comments included:
"One who treats me as though I
were the only man in the world ;
one who lets me be boss; and one
who is warm and sensitive."
The most freqently mentioned
attributes, male and female, were:
warm and pleasing personality,
considerate and thoughtful, sense
of humor, and fondness of children
and animals. This survey seems to
prove the old adage, "Beauty is only skin deep."

Di\ Maiett a Speaks at

The recent trip of Dr. Maietta to
Gallaudet College for the *Deaf in
Washington , D.C. was the feature
of a recent meeting of Sigma Alpha
Eta. The students heard Dr. Maietta's experiences and observations
at this convention. A forum-type
discussion concerning the problems
of the students was also conducted
at this time.
Following the business meeting,
Bob Anthony showed films which
had been taken at this year's
Christmas party for children in the
Speech Clinic and those In special
classes at Ben Franklin School and
Sellnsgrove State School. Pictures
of the hoagle stand at the Bloomsburg Fair were also seen.

49 and 67 per cent respectively.
Gary also had the second highest

Gary says the game that he'll
always remember is the final game
of the season against Lock Haven.
He scored nine points in the last
overtime and 25 points for the
game as he led the Huskies to a
112-103 victory over the Bald

Japanese Instructor Presents Views on TJLS*
Humanism of West
Contrasted With
Oriental Tradition

1 riese are the impressions of a J apanese Fulbri ght Fellowship student in
America, Toshihazu Niikura. Mr, Niikura is an instructor in the English Department at Meiji' Kakuin University
Tokyo, J apan .
The translatio n is by Doroth y L.
Schmidt, an alumna of BSC. Miss
Schmidt is a p rofessor of English and
educational psychology at Meiji Kakuin University.

In the summer of 1957 I went to
the University of Minnesota. Until
that time I had never been to the
United States. The first thing that
I noticed at the University was the
college students dressed in clothes
of their own choice leisurely sitting
about on the beautifully kept campus. Even in the classrooms the undergraduates wore colorea shirts
and sweaters as their ordinary
dress. This expresses to me the
kind of people Americans are—informal and candid. Americans
seem to mature more rapidly physically enabling them to become
members of society in general
more quickly. For instance, the
American college girls are already
responsible ladles. In the case of
American men students, in the
realm of knowledge they are Immature but in the realm of social
life they are grown-up and compared with Japanese students they
are far more mature.
However, there is an ill effect on
these American students who are
so socially conscious. To me, it
seems as if they they have skipped
the stage of inner searching before
• they arrive at maturity. Generally
speaking, Amer ican stu dents do not

read books of other cultures (especially philosophical) and in this respect the Japanese are more informed about the thinking of other
peoples of the world. The reason is
that American students are so busy
with examinations, assignments
and required papers for their
course. I understand that in European universities there Is no need
to write papers until a designated
time, but in American universities
there is detailed guidance given by
the professor such as is given to
high school students. But even a
more fundamental reason is that
America n life is based on pragmatism and the enj oyment of the
pleasures of this world. In spite of
being over-burdened with the above
mentioned papers and assignments,
American students in reality seem
to utilize their time to the best advantage.
I lived in a dormitory and observed that students when they returned to the dorm took a hurried
shower, changed their clothes, and
went out on their dates. Especially
on weekends those who were left in
the dorm were thought to be "peculiar " individuals.
In Japan , the custom is for parents or friends to choose the partner for a marriage. In America, the
young people of marriageable age
must choose their own partners so
they are ever on the look-out for a
mate. For Japanese, this would be
something of an embarrassment. In
America this is a natural thing for
the young people to assume their
own responsibility in society. Moreover, if they don't find a partner
they are somewhat embarrassed, I
imagine.
In Japan when I attended foreign movies and saw the "love af-

fairs " of Americans and Europeans

Ididn 't notice anythin g different,

but since I've had the actual experience of living in America, 'Ive
discovered that these "love affairs "
are a part of the pattern of daily
life. Compared with the Japanese
who express this love publicly once
in two or three years or only once
in a life time, I've once more come
to realize the difference between
the attitudes of daily living in the
two countries. The contrast between the humanism of the West
based on the idea of free expression of huma/i feelings and the
Oriental tradition of the Japanese,
that of denial of human feelings,
is quite apparent.
However, if this free human expression has no concern for society
it will end in only satisfying the instincts and living for the pleasures
of this present world. Compared
with the youth of France and other
countries of Europe, the present
generation of Americans seem to be

lives.
The United States is so big and
economically stabilized that , in
reality, the average American -has
little concern for the affairs of oihei
foreign countries. So It seems to me
that they are only interested in
their own features and in their love
affairs. This is not only my own .
personal opinion. As proof of this,
a TV program (A Generation Without Social Consciousness) at the
beginning of 1959 in which the
American students examined their
own generation, pointed out the
same thing.
The title, "A Generation Without Cause" which is applied to the
American students of today, seems
to sum up what I've been saying.

WAYN E T. MORRISSEY

T,p get every student on campus engaged in intramural activities is
the goal of Coach Ziegler, head of our Intramural Program.
To reach this goal, activities suited to every interest and talent
have been started or will be within the coming months. Mr. Ziegler is
willing to start any league or tournament at any time. All he requires
is interest.
So far , his program has included touch-football, wrestling, basketbal
l , and volleyball. Organized and ready to roll is a table-tennis tournament and a softball league. Planned for the future are such activities
as archery, a swimming meet and a track meet.
At the present time "sweat shirts " are being presented to the winners, but Mr. Ziegler feels that in the future , trophies could be pre sented on a one-year basis to the winning teams. He
on expressed a desire
compete
consecutive years
that
wil^
organize
clubs
for people to
"
"
for the coveted "cups." In this case, a group winning a cup for three
straight years would be able to retire it .
Without a doubt, this is a worthwhile program set up by Mr. Ziegler and should present many enjoyable hours for those participating in
it. But as you can imagine, the program requires much work such as
scheduling of tournaments, setting up a playing schedule and acquiring facilities for the teams to use. Mr. Ziegler would appreciate help
in this respect and would appreciate those interested in organizing
and planning leagues to contact him.
(M en, this is your chance! Help Mr. Zeigler to help you have some
fun and recreation. Don't be afraid to ask him if you can have any sport
on campus. If the interest is there, chances are he'll find a way to get it.)

The Intr amura ls
by BILL GINTY

The Intramural Wrestling Tourney was completed recently with 18
men competing in the finals.
All Intercollegiate rules were
observed except for the weigh-in
where each wrestler had an allow-'
ance of three pounds and the time
of the periods which were only
two minutes long to allow for the
condition and experience of the
contestants.
Experience was lacking in the
case of ten of the contestants, but
it didn't hinder them from giving
their all or from putting on a fine
show.
Smith at 12S
. John Smith opened the program
by defeating Bruce Retteor 8-4 in
the 123 lb. class. That match was
followed by Terry Engelman, local
track star, pinning John Thomas in
the 130 lb. class.
John Rakish, using his 4 years
experience to advantage, pinned
his opponent , Evariste Vieira in the
137 lb. class, but it took an overtime period for Lynald Sillsburg to
decision Dick Rohrer 1-0 in the 147
lb. division.
Millw at 157
In the 157 lb. and 167 lb. classes
there were pins. Ken Miller dropped
Rhys Phillips and Larry Dombek
downed Dale Anthony.
The 177 lb. and 191 lb. classes
had all inexperienced contestants
but were both won by pins. Bucko
Davala fell Moses Scott in the 177
lb. class and Gary Stackhouse
pinned Stan Beiter in the 191.
In the battle of the big boys,
Gary Barnaba decisioncd favorite ,
Frank Sorochak, 4-1.
Bob Craig, Husky wrestler, officiated .
Volleyball Also

Elsewhere around the intramural scene can be found the Volleyball Tourney which is in the
semi-final round. The finalists include the "Big Six ", "The Frosh" ,
"The Studs," and "Y.M.P.A."
Right after Easter the Softball
Tourney will get under way with a
large number of entries expected.
After a preliminary survey made
of the course needs for 1961-62,
committee of Department heads is
planning to add eleven faculty
members to the staff next year,
boosting the faculty to 117. An enrollment of 1900 is expected for the
coming term.

Matm en Finish 5th
Garson , Dixon
Win lnNAIA

The Husky grapplers finished off
this year 's campaign with a trip to
Colorado and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
Championships in which t h e y
placed fifth in a field of thirty-five.
The team made a creditable showin g, since a bare ten points separated them from champion Lock
Haven.
BSC secured two individual
championships in the 167 pound
and 191 pound weight class. The
NAIA championships were won by
Gene __>ixon and Bill Garson who
are also PSAS champs.
Looking ahead to next season ,
Coach Houk predicts that once
again the Huskies will be back on
top. Unfortunate accidents greatly
hampered the team's effort this
year, but its true strength should
be evident next year.

Swimmers Place
4th In State Meet

The Husky mermen completed
their season recently with a fourth
place finish in the State Swimming
Meets at West Chester.
Leading the pack for the Huskies
were Nelson Swartz, who placed
fourth in the backstroke, and Don
Young, who placed in both the 50
and 100 yd. freestyle events.
The Relay Team comprised of
Don Young, Nelson Swartz, Tom
Little and Ron Jaspers also pulled
a fourth and helped the locals edge
out Lock Haven and Millersville^
who had defeated them in regular
season competition.
The winner of the meet was West
Chester followed by Slippery Rock
nnd East Stroudsburg.

Probation Repor t
Shows Decrease

The probationary list that has
been recently released from the
Office of Dean of Instruction includes the names of 289 students.
Of this number 150 students are
freshmen. This represents a 45%
decrease over the number of students on the first semester probation list.
During the next few weeks, letters will be sent to the parents of
these students, and they will meet
with a faculty committee to discuss their situation.
