The administration of BSC has
received notification from the State
Council of Education that it is now
q ualified to offer a graduate program in Special Education for the
Mentally Retarded and Speech Correction. The announcement from
Dr. Harold F. Alderfer, Secretary
of the State Council of Education
marks the climax of twenty-five
years of growth in the field of Special Education at BSC.
The Special Education Program
was established in 1937, shortly after Dr. Andj -uss became Dean of
Instruction , as a variant to the Elementary and Secondary education
curriculums. Later, as a result of
the passage of legislation concerning special class program, Dr. Andruss created the Division of Special Education and appointed Dr.
Maietta as the first Director. In
1958, BSC became the firs t State
College in Pennsylvania to estab-

lish a student teaching program
Special Education students .
Two years later, a new curricular
program leading to a Bachelor of
Science degree for teachers of the
Educable Mentally Retarded or for
Teachers of the Speech and Hearing Handicapped was devised. After the opening of the new Special
Education program in Navy Hall,
BloomsbuYg became the first State
College to establish a full-time residential program for adult trainees.
The opening of the graduate program this summer will be another
first for BSC. Dr. Maietta , Director
of Special Education , reports that
the program is presently under development and will be submitted to
the Graduate Council of the College for approval. It was also announced that preliminary circulars
will be published for distribution to
Teachers of Special Education who
want to extend their certification
to a master 's degree in their field.

Englehart Attends
State Curriculum
Project Meeting

I ncrease Program
On Graduate Level

Dr. Ernest Englehart, Director
of the BSC Department of Education and Psychology, recently attended a meeting of the Bureau of
Curriculum. Development, an affiliate of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction. Dr.
Englehart, representing the North
Eastern District , was one of twelve
area co-ordinators present.
The purpose of the meeting was
to consider the curriculum projects
th at are now being developed by
the bureau for the improvement of
those presently in use throughout
the state.
One of the five projects considered was advanced placement and
programs for th e gifted child. This
does not refer to the method by
which a child was advanced a grade
in school thus enabling him to
graduate at an earlier age ; instead ,
it is a plan to offer high school
courses on a college level to those
who have the ability to take them.
A second question considered
was the .introduction of science to
students still on the elementary
level. This is in conj unction with
the modern trend to begin science
on a lower level so that the student
will have a good background and be
better prepared for this study on a
high school level.

August 10.
A workshop, New Horizons in
Teaching High School Physics, will
be designed primarily for teachersin-service. Its purpose is to aid
them in developing original programs of instruction as recommended by the Physical Science
Study Council. A workshop in Analytical Chemistry will offer credits in two of the following courses:
quantitative inorganic chemistry
and qualitative inorganic chemistrv.
A seminar in theory and techniques of teaching modern foreign
languages in another feature of the
program. A course in methods and
organization in the elementary
school offers a rich source of new
ideas for improving instruction on
the elementary level. This class is
being offered in response to the request of many teachers-in-service.
The workshop in selected topics
in college mathematics will carry
credits in two of the following
courses: College Algebra, Advanced College Algebra , Trigonometry,
and Analytical Geometry.

As a new fe a ture , the Maroon and Gold, presents the first of a series
of articles spotlighting outstanding campus personalities, both individual and collective. This issue we bring you — "The Bench Warmer."
In order to set the proper scen e for our discussion, we offer the following from Webster 's New Collegiate Dictionary.
"Bench"— a long seat for two or more persons; a platform
on which a dog is placed; a seat where the members of

of the "bench" as it is used at B.S.C.

No one can argue that our benches do not serve a functional purpose,

In the foll owing interview , Mr.
Treblow discussed chess and its
place on the college campus today.
Question: Why do you play chess ?
As a chemist, do you find chess
appropr iate to the scientific temperament ?
Answer: "Since I use my mind a
great deal in my work I find
chess relaxing and mentally stimulating. I consider chess the most
ingenious game invented by
man."
Question : What is the popular understanding of chess in this country ? .
Answer: "In the past years people
thought that chess was very difficult to learn and that it was
played only by geniuses. Today
many people are taking more interest in chess and it's play ed by
all age groups. Actually, contrary to what many people think,
th e elements of chess are relatively easy to learn.
Question : Is there a renaissance of
chess interest in the United
States today ?
Answer: "Yes. The membership in
the U.S. Chess Federation has
doubled in the past four years.
Through newspapers, magazines,
etc. interest has greatly increased. Another reason would be the
success of American players such
as Bobby Fischer and the United
States Chess team , which recently won the world championship."
Question : Why do the Russians
comma nd t he chess world ?
Answer:"Chess is highly supported
in Russia, both financially and
spiritually. For instance, when
the world champion plays in a
tournament the government supports him financially and also
sends a team of players along to
analyze the games."
Question : You recently helped introduce chess as a varsity sport
at Penn State. Do you think
chess should be made a varsity
sport at all interested colleges
and universities ?
Answer: "Definitel y! Given a place
in college life, chess would benefit both the students and the
school. Chess develops competitiveness, loyalty, and character
in general.
Question: What are your first impressions of chess activity among
Bloomsburg students ?
An swer: "I am impressed with the
progress your chess club has
made in one year. I would also
like to compliment the faculty
members who participate and
contribute to the success of the
club."

BSC Student
Baseball Ace

Gary Johnson
With spring training for the maj or league baseball teams coming up
before too long, anticipation of the
diamond sport seems appropriate.
Although most Bloomsburg students don't realize it, we have here
on campus a young man who has
already received quite a bit of attention in the baseball world. Gary
Johnson, a 19 year-old sophomore
in the Business Curriculum, has received offers from 15 of the 18 maj or league teams because of his
pitching ability. Although tempted
by sizeable bonus offers, the young
left-hander's intention is to complete his college education first.
Gary first came to the attention
of major league scouts while still
attending Shamokin High School,
where he racked up 16 wins and 2
losses during 4 years of varsity
competition. Included in those 16
wins were not less than two nohitters and four one-hitters. Gary
was an all-around sports performer
in high school. Although not large
in size, Johnson made honorable
mention, all-state in football. A
guard, he was named to both the
United Press and A ssocia ted Press
teams.
No-Hitters
Using a blazing fast ball and sinkers a t varying speeds, Gary continued in the habit of throwing nohitters after high school. During
two yea rs of A m erica n Legion ball,
he had two more hitless games
while with Frackville in the North
Schuylkill League and another
with Shamokin in the Susquehanna
League. In non-legion ball, he recorded two more no-hitters with
Shamokin in the Anthracite League
to bring his promising career total
to an amazing seven.
While in high school, Johnson
averaged two strikeouts per inning
pitched. In one game in the Anthracite Valley League, he notched
an unbelievable 22 strikeouts. It
was reported in one of the metropolitan newspapers that the Baltimore Orioles offered him $35,000
to sign, but because of an agreement with the Orioles, he is unable to reveal the actual amount
he was offered.
Transfer Student
Gary, a transfer student from
Susquehanna University, had an
11-1 record in Legion baj l and over
all has had many wins. Perhaps
dwarfing his other feats on the dia-

swimming team made exciting history on February 14, when they
met the Morgan State swimmers.
The Husky mermen whipped the
Baltimore team 52-43, for their
first win in their three years existence. Putting in a tremendous team
effort, the Huskies took 9 first
places. Morgan State took the first
event, the 400 yard medley relay,
but the backstroke was then taken
for BSC by Don Watkins. Ron Lazarus then won the breaststroke ;
Harold Ackerman and Bob Rehkop
followed by winning the butterfly
and anchor free style respectively.
Morgan State won the 220 yard free
style which was followed by another BSC win in the 50 yard free
style by Don Young. The next three
events went to Morgan. Don Young
then took another first in the 100
yard free style and the 200 yard
backstroke went to Nelson Swarts.
A new record was then set by Bill
Billet in the 200 yard breaststroke;
his time was 3:8.7. In 4:9.5, the 400
yard free style team, composed
of Chuck Jasper, Hay den Jones,
Swarts and Young, wrapped up the
meet. Our swimmers then lost their
next meet to Lycoming on February 19.

Grapplers Win

Waynesburg (20-5) and Appalachian (22-6) in the past two weeks.
The Waynesburg squad , coached
by Bucky Murdock who possesses a
fantastic coaching record at the
school, was riding the crest of a
wave of eight consecutive victories
until Bloomsburg applied the skids.
Joel Melitski , who wrestled in
place of the inj ured Billy Hughes,
Jerry Wright , Dick Scorese , Dave
Steumple , Gene Dixon , and Bill
Garson all recorded decision victories. Ed Taylor lost by a decision
and Don Poust battled to a draw
with Bob Eckley, who was considered the best wrestler on Waynesburg's squad . Poust wrestled the
last three minutes of the match
with a deep cut over his right eye
that required three stitches to
close.
USMA

Last Saturd ay the varsity wrestlers traveled to Boone, N.C. and the
j unior varsity and freshmen teams
traveled to the USMA at West
Point. All three teams returned
with victories ; the varsity won 226; the j ayvees won 20-8, and the
freshmen defeated a highly rated
and unbeaten Army frosh team
with a score of 19-9.

basketball team has won all of its
last four games. Coach Bill Foster's
Huskies met Millersville away on
February 7, Lock Haven at home
on February 12, Cheyney on February 14, and West Chester on February 17. Our next two games will
both be at home. Tomorrow we
meet Millersville S.C., and on February 27, we play Lock Haven S.C.
in our last home game.
Millersville and Cheyney
The Huskies grabbed an early
lead at Millersville and stretched it
to a 13 point lead by half-time. Millersville players came closest to
our lead during the first 10 minutes of the second half , when they
closed the gap to 6 points. But the
Huskies put on an extra burst of
steam and won by a 15 point margin ; the final score was 79-64. Bob
Herzig, a frosh from Philadelphia ,
had 18 points in the first half and
finished with 26 for the evening.
Dick Lloyd was next with 21 tallies. A new record for assists was
set during this game by sophomore
Gary Rupert. Gary had 10 and the
old record was 9. The Husky team
also rewrote the school record for
total assists with 26 assists during
the game, the previous number had
been 22. The Husky Pups won their
game by a score of 87-61 as they
were led by Bob Kurzinsky who
scored 26 points.
The Huskies won their game at
Cheyney and by a 37 point margin.
The final score was 98-61, as Bob
Herzig and Dick Lloyd again set
the pace.
Two More Win s
Again, this time at Lock Haven,
the Huskies took an early lead. It
was held until 14 minutes were left
in the first half , but only for a few
seconds. Herzig hit with a field goal
and regained the Husky lead for
