¦ May 2-6, 1962, will see the plans
for BSC's first Spring Arts Festival become a reality. A planning
committee for this revolutionary
event announced a schedule that
includes May 2 as Art Exhibition
and Reception 'Day in Sutliff Hall;
the works of Emlin Ething will be
on display. On May 3, an Art Lecture Demonstration will be held in
Carver Auditorium at which time
Mr. Ething will speak. May 3 and 4
the Bloomsburg Players will interpret art as they present Moliere's
"The School for Wives" under the
direction of Miss Mary Homrighous
at 8:15 in Carver Auditorium.
On May 5, members of the Health
and Physical Education Department from Penn State University
will present a dance-lecture-demonstration in Centennial Gymnasium directed by Mrs. Diane Gaumer .
The Festival will end May 6 at
3 p.m. in Carver Auditorium with a
musical program consisting of an
instrumental Chamber Music trio
with vocal chamber and Madrigal
music by a group of BSC students,
both under the direction of Miss
Mildred Bisgrove.
Chairman of the committee coordinating the activities is Mr. William C. Cope. On the committee are
Miss Gisgrove , Miss Rusinko, Miss
Homrighous , Mr. Harris and Mr.

The administration of BSC is now
preparing a statement describing
methods of dealing with a future
collegiate advanced program. Each
of the 14 state colleges has been
requested by the Penna. Department of Public Instruction to prepare a similar report. Upon completion, BSC's statement will be
distributed to the guidance personnel of all the area high schools.
Under this program of advanced
placement, 141 second ary schools
in Pennsylvania are now off ering
accelerated work in English, mathematics , and science. These courses
are offered to the capable students
and are equivalent to those on the
college level.
After the high school student
graduates and applies for admission
to college, there are two methods
by which he may obtain college
credit for the advanced work he
has done. A special examination
prepared by the Collegiate Educational Examination Board of the
Princeton Educational Testing Service may be taken: if the student
proves his competency through this
test he will be granted the course
credits. The alternative is the development examination administered in the student's local area. When
this program is introduced at BSC
the credit will be granted in a manner similar to that used by Penn
State University. The student will
be granted credit on the basis of
his scores in the College Board Examination.
The introduction of this program
to BSC will be one more step in
keeping apace with the developments in modern education.
BSC Host to Geography Conference;
Faculty, Students To Participate
by Randy Romig and Bob Fleck
The Ninth Annual Spring Conference of the Pennsylvania Council
for Geography Education will be held at BSC on Friday and Saturday,
April 27 and 28. The theme for this year 's meeting is "Geography — A
Key to World Understanding. "
Dr. Bruce E. Adams, professor of Geography at BSC and a member
of the Executive Board of the state council, is serving as the local coordinating officer for the conference. Assisting him , in addition to the
faculty of the Geography Department , are the members of Gamma
Theta Upsilon, BSC's chapter of the national professional geography
fraternity of which Dr. Adams is the faculty advisor. These students
will serve as guides, help with registration , and provide information.
Schmidt, Gibboney Speak at Sessions
Speakers for the two general sessions, one to be held at 8:00 p.m.,
Friday, and the other to be held at 8:45 a.m., Saturday, will be Oswald
Schmidt , University of Pittsburgh , and Richard A. Gibboney, Director
of the Bureau of Curriculum Development , Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg. Mr. Schmidt, will present an illustrated lecture
on "East Pakistan: A Rich Land of Poor People ;" Mr. Gibboney will
discuss "The Pennsylvania Public Schools Curricula. " BSC's Choraleers ,
under the direction of Miss Mildred Bisgrove, will entertain at the
Friday session.
Band Will Present Concert Saturday
On Saturday morning, Mr. Nelson Miller will direct the Maroon
and Gold band as they present a "concert . After the regular session, a
number of sectional meetings have boon scheduled , starting at 10:30
a.m. During the luncheon meeting, which will be held in the College
Commons at 12 noon , Dr. E. Willard Miller , Professor of Geography at
Pennsylvania University and President of the Council, will discuss
"The Future of the Pennsylvania Council for Geography Education. "
Another feature of the program is a series of three field trips Saturday afternoon , designed especially to meet the interst of the state's
geography inst ructors. The tours, coordinated by Mr. John A, Enman ,
will Includo Dillon 's Flower Growers, The Mageo Carpet Company, and
the Physiograph y of the Bloomsburg area.

Additions to Curricu lum Are Needed
by Blair Hartman
Dr. Charles H. Boehm , State Superintendent of Public Instruction ,
and the State Council of Education are studying the transition of Teachers Colleges in Pennsylvania to State Colleges. This will be accomplished
by additions to the curriculum in the fields of arts and sciences, leading
to a b achelor 's degree.
This general plan for higher education involves more than 120 institutions in Pennsylvania and thus presents a complex problem. The construction of a general plan becomes complicated by the extent to which
private institutions — whether sponsored by churches, school districts ,
or municipalities — will expand to meet the needs of students desiring
more than 12 years of education.
The number of Pennsylvania

Newspaper Reading Can Be What's New? The M & G Takes Endless Effort
Question
Improved By Understand 'g Weekly
Of News Editor Exec, Staff Confronted With Many
by Teresa McDonald
Do you know how to read a newspaper?
This sounds like a silly question to be asking college students, but
basically, many people have never been acquainted with this procedure.
The most important news story is always found in the right hand
column. The second spot is the outside column on the left of the page.
Newspapers are usually folded into quarters and these top spots are
the first to be seen by the reader. The most important news is always
found on the upper half of the page.
Let 's Read
Now that we have placed the news on the paper — let's read it!
1. The headlines are a convenience. They serve to draw your attention to a story. Little space is allowed for them because the news in
the story is what is really important. Nevertheless, these "heads " must
meet certain standards. They 've got to be brief but yet have eye appeal.
The Maroon and Gold usually allows 16 to 20 letter spaces to a line headline. Try your hand at writing a
headline in so few spaces. It 's kind
of tricky, isn't it?
2. A story is based on a policy of
the five "W's" and "how." The reporter must decide when he is getby Shirl ey Sejjin

The position o*f News Editor is
located somewhere in the midst of
the long procession from reporter
to Executive Editor. There are aspects of the position that are entirely mechanical and others that
are completely unpredictable.
"Nose for News"
The initial steps are th e most
mechanical ; I notify the reporters
th at their material is due and give
them any news tips that I have
found. Although we have been successfully employing the beat system for three semesters a "nose for
news " always helps in this very important step.
After the news is received, the
executive staff and several of our
more energetic reporters are subj ected to that honorable in stitution
known as "worknight ." Here is
where the reporter 's ability is subj ect to the acid test ; if he doesn 't
pass, the blue pencil takes over.
Time-consuming; Nerve-wracking
Proofing the work and preparing
it for the printer is a time-consuming, nerve-wracking j ob and if the
reporter hasn't done his j ob well
this problem is magnified. It is for
this reason that we must weed out
anyone who isn 't doing his job.
Through this process of elimination
we have narrowed the reporting
staff to 13 students, and, strange as
it may seem, they accomplish more
than th e original staff of 28 did.
Some Rewards
It isn't all "sweat and tear s"
though — there are rewards — and
very gratifying ones at that. The
reporter, through a slow and somewhat discouraging process of trial
and error, is learning to express
himself. This is one compensation
that few org anizations can offer.
Through his duties he is in constant contact with the members of
the college faculty and administration. The effect of these meetings
is seen in his increasing confidence.
My rewards are undefinable. It's
a lot of work; homework goes undone — there 's constant criticism,
and people say we are insane to
continue in such a thankless job.
B u t I lo v e it and wo u ldn 't trade it
for any do-nothing club on campus.
Problems - Confusion to Conclusion
by Kathy Krelsher
Every organization has those
who are the first to come and the
last to leave. Arriving first , the
executive staff is ready to hand out
assignments the moment anyone
walks into the office on a worknight. There is tedious work to be
finish ed and a minority of help
available. Thus, its first to the copy

empty... and proofing takes place.
This pasti me requires one red pencil and an eye for grammatical errors (this includes the spelling and
checking of names; punctuation —
elimin ating "salt and pepper" commas , etc....; and sentence structure — to shorten or not to shorten.) After the copy has been thoroughly proofed it must be retyp ed.

After many weary, intense hours,
the target is in sight — layout!
This problem is solved on Monday.
"Where does this article go and
how long should it be?" are the
questions of the evening. In layout , it is often necessary that many
articles are cut or lengthened —
this comprises a large part of another evening. Before the fin al approval of an article, it receives a

in one hand , copy in the other, and
a pencil (red and black) over each

the paper takes a time-consuming

I Lead 3 Lives As a Reporter *
Stud ent , Snoop and Scoop
by Ken Muttsleinan
Many people have often heard and repeated the story of an assistant
New York Times editor who got over-inspired with his work , bought
safari gear, and went to Africa to find information about one of those
cannibal tribes for use in a feature article. After some time at sea and
weeks of struggling across Africa , tho American found a cannibal village , entered triumphantly, and was greeted by a hungry-looking chieftain: "Who are you?" The nowspapor disciple nervously gasped his
name and said ho was assistant editor for the New York Times. Tho
chief exclaimed through a watering mouth , "Tonight you shall be editorin-chief! "
Warm Hand Extended
Fortunately for members of the Maroon and Gold , there need be no
such excursions into tho "Dark Continent. " Another consolation is that
those professors and students who contribute news to this paper seldom
greet, reporters and representatives of tho paper with a watering mouth
and sharpened tooth. Finally, a third virtue of the Maroon and Gold is

The Adventures of '
Wordo Jones
by Sue Halkyard
The setting: Office of Bumpkin
College newspaper , The Black and
Blue, on work night. Members of
the staff can be seen dimly through
the thi ck blue haze and stacked
coffee cups. Papers clutter every
available desk and much of the
floor. The steady clack of typewriter keys is lost amid the jumbled
cacophony of voices. Suddenly one
voice is heard above the clamor —
Miss Lotta Prose , Feature Editor ,
screams to a non-descript figure
who appears to be scratching out
line after line. The victim , hearing
Miss Prose's dulcet tones, turns toward her with an apprehensive air.
Miss Prose (speaking with authority) : "Hey ! Wordo, how about
writing me a feature about 2 %
inches long ? I need a few lines to
finish my page."... and so it goes...
A Little Spice
The feature writer is that poor
specimen of humanity who once
upon a time (he can no longer remember when) remarked, "What
this paper needs is a little spice —
something to give it zip! Let's get
away from this deadly didactic
prose and give the readers something 'out-of-the-ordinary.' " Th u s,
poor Wordo Jones, amateur j ournalist , became "Wordo Jones, Feature Writer."
Mademoiselle Flame
The feat ure writer must have the
ability to differentiate between
what, is a straight news item and
what would lend itself to a more
creative treatment. He must be an
"idea man " and possess a flair for
the unusual. For example, the news
rep or ter wo u ld write: "Bridgette
Flame, movie actress, will make a
personal appearance at Bumpkin
College ... etc." The feature writer
might put it this way: "The sexkitten par excellence, Mle. Brigette Flame, will illuminate these
dismal staid halls on ... etc." Judge
for yo u r se lf , dear reader , just
which one of these openings would
generate the most interest in you !
Public Censure
If , as a feature writer , one expresses a contradictory viewpoint ,
makes an accusation , or oven gives
by implication a generally unaccepted connotation to what the
public believes (or wants to boliove), ho must then bo prepared
to defend himself against, tho onslaught of public censure which is
sure to follow. Take poor Waldo
for instance —- early in his career

Look ing Towa rds Election
How politically-thoughtful is the average BSC student ?
The college campus can and should be a political training ground
for United States citizens since most colleges have an organized form
of democratic government. When you enter BSC you automatically
become a citizen of the college community and thus the Community
Government Association. You also receive a community citizen 's responsibility to support the CGA Council and the privilege to vote in
elections.
But if there is only a bare minimum of political interest on campus
during the year, how can the college election board solicit the needed
50% of students to vote to make an election valid? Their attempts to
have an even greater total number of votes seems almost futile. It is
even rather discouraging to note that we have to seek out candidates
for CGA Council offices. And the actual voting is just not what it should
be. We often find the election board giving a repeat, performance when
50% of the st udents do not cast a vote. Is there a logical reason for
thi s political apathy ?
Numerous CGA Achievements
An argument stating that College Council has achieved little benefitti ng the student wouM have no factual basis. In a short survey of
th e social activities and improvements in 1961-62 we find that most;
student complaints and "agitated" ideas have materialized through
the efforts and interest of Council — the executive leadership of CGA.
Here are some of the activities and improvements, old and new that
Council has conducted to date this year: Freshman Customs and Parents Day; approval to purchase eight new tapes for College Commons;
Homecoming Weekend with Big-Name entertainment and activities;
purchase of much-needed Choraleer gowns; extension of library hours;
committees under Council prepared the Pilot and Calendar ; created
Husky Lounge and t>ecoration Committees; for the Spring Arts Festival; approved constitutions of Circle K Club, Le Cercle Francais , the
Amateur Radio Club ; Christmas tea; took a poll and contracted Dave
Guard and Kai Winding for Spring Weekend; installation of coinoperated washers and dryers for North Hall; dances with the Jones
Boys, the Kasuals, and Royal Aires; Christmas decorations ; pep rallies,
co-ed swimming.
Student Support Needed
The College Council is more than a group that meets bi-monthly
behind closed doors and whose officers can be seen rushing to and from
the Council Office . Students conduct 90% of non-academic activities
through College Council. And as one can see the Council has served the
college community well. Is it too much to ask that all students reciprocate in a small way ? A manifestation of political interest does not
require the spectacle of soap-box oratory, parading, dinners, banners,
posters, and other facets of full-time campaigning. However, students
should give thoughtful consideration when choosing student leaders.
The candidates for Council need your vote and support — and we trust
your sound j udgment.
BSC Comes Alive
It appeared for a while that the
school spirit on the BSC campu s
was declining. When a person attended a b asketball game or a
wrestling meet in Centennial Gym ,
he could hear cheering and applause for the team members , but
this cheering was nothing compai'ed to the display of school spirit
witnessed last Saturday evening
during the State Wrestling Tournament held at Lock Haven State
College.
Small In Number , But Not Spirit
A good number of BSC fans,
about one-quarter the number of
Lock Haven fans , entered Thomas
Field House at Lock Haven when
th e doors opened at 6:30 p.m. The
BSC fans assembled and began to
cheer their team an hour and a half
before the meet began. The fans
sang " My Gi r l' s A Hullaballo" and
shouted school cheers over and over
again. Although the BSC fans were
smaller in number , they displayed
more spirit than their opponents.
Although no Huskj* matmen took
first place during the first seven
matches, the Husky fans did not
lose any hope or enthusiasm for
their team. The Lock Haven fans
were sure of winning the championship by now and told us so, but this
did not bother the Huskies for they
contin ued to fight for that firs t
placo. Then a Husky grappler took
a first pla ce, and th e BSC fans responded with shouting and applause. It is interesting to note
here th at the Lock Haven fans immed ately became very quiet and
apprehensive ; they know what the
result migh t be (and what did happen) .
1 To 3 and Title
The fi rs t pl ace wi n w a s foll ow ed
by two more first place wins to give
the BSC team the title of State
Champions. After this last match
the Huskies stood and cheered with
unlimited enthusiasm until they
were finally asked to stop so that
the awards could be made. After
the presentation of awards, BSC
students again released a great
amount of energy in the true spirit
of victory. A feeling of happiness
for the victorious Husky matmen
filled the gym.
Wo would like to thank all fans
who traveled to Lock Haven to support the team. But wo would especially like to thank and congratulate Coaches Mr. Russell Houk
and Mr. Michael Flanagan and the
team members for their fine performance during the past season.
Congratulations , State Champs!!

To the Students
^ -w»--w ^ ^- v^- w -v^^^^v^^v^^^^^^^^^r^^
As editor of the Maroon and.
Gold, I am always interested in
comments made by the students
and faculty concerning the college
newspaper and appreciate your
criticisms and suggestions, because
without them the paper cannot do
a complete and thorough j ob of reporting the news, ideas, and opinions on our campus .
The last issue of the M&G began a new series of articles. I was
extremely interested in the remarks and comments that it would
receive. Conversations overheard
indicated that quite a few comments were made ; however, reactions of many of the students
were not to their credit. Would a
very, very brief explanation of this
be in the phrase "If the shoe
fi ts...?"
Many complaints were expressed
that were aimed at a specific staff
member. If you wish to disagree
with what is stated in an issue of
the paper , you have every right to
which you may do this — Letters*
to the Editor. May I say here that
the picture that ran with the article ott the Benchwarmers was
taken casually and with no intention to Implicate any one person.
However, to vent your ire on staff
members who are only doing their
j obs as they are told is unfair to
them. Specifically — Joe Rado was
criticized for taking a picture of
the "Bench-Warmers." If your criticism of him or of the ideas expressed is valid, I am sure it will
hold up in print, and I would be
happy to see that it is printed,
withholding your name if requested. — Macyle Phillips, Editor, Marnon and Gold

Did you ever go to a party and find yourself that lucky person <] M

it seems like I always am — loaded, that is! In fact, I am everyo M
clothes-rack, book case, garbage paid, and repository for the mis M

You see, I am truly a simple loving soul — one of those true hum M
tarians you are always reading about — "Service to others" is my im I
Granted that I am not always so swift in delivering this service — M
in due course of time I manage to perform some of the most import M

services at BSC.
Who Else?

For example, who else has the answers to Section B's Aid-to-Vi j

that Mary Jones just this minute stole Janie Smith's boyfriend — on J

now only 10 a.m. and the 9 o'clock section j ust had one ) ? I can \ |
advice on how to prepare the most complete ( and fool-proof) crib-sh; |j
or even provide the simplified method of "how to get a C without re i|j
trying."

Perhaps my most important service is that of giving solace and |
laxation to the tired, test-worn, brain-picked, and generally overwor M
students. With me, one can learn to live again — to find that silver lir Ji
amidst the grey academic haze!

Dear Editor:
Has cheating so permeated this
campus that it stems from the administration down through the student body ?
In this statement, I am making
reference to the Sophomore Testing Program which is to determine
BSC's rating among the fourteen
State Colleges. I noticed two outward signs of dishonesty while a
participant in the testing program.
The firs t was the fact that there
were many juniors and even a few
seniors taking the sophomore tests.
I ask, "Why?" Was the amount of
credits necessary to be excused
from taking the tests raised to include those accelerating students
in an effort to raise our standing?
The other was the fact that we
were given numerous "sample"
questions. There was "one free answer" offered for practically every
part of the test. I don't think we
need that many "samples." ?
were told that if each student 1 "i
answered two more questions t
rectly in the last testing progn ;
we would have "ranked one-two
stead of eighth." Was this "ass
ance" an insurance that we we
answer a few more questions <
rectly ?
I sincerely wish that some* ]
would answer my questions •>
cause at the moment, I can o !;
answer ' them with "cheating" f 5
]
"dishonesty."
r«
If perchance BSC should

ost principle In the heartH of j ournalists, whether they bo students or
professional ncwamcn. But f reedom
must not degenerate Into license.
Making this clear to students is a
most important function of the advisor. There is no censorship In
American newspaper editing. But
if a newspaper allows Itself license
and violates certain legal principles
affecting individual rights, then it
is held accountable in courts of law.
But in every case, action is taken
only aft«r the material is published.
If college newspaper work is to be
valuabl e to young adults, this same
prin ciple must operate in their own
editing responsibilities. And happily it does operate in more than 90
per cent of college and university
publications.
It is the uniq ue responsibility of
college newspaper reporters and
editors that their decisions often
affect a large number of people and
on very important matters. It
would be "safer" to have the advisor make these decisions. With
his experience and better judgment
many errors could be eliminated.
But it is also well to remember
that the best part of the newspaper
training for the students wquld
then also be eliminated. The role
of the advisor is to try to educate
the students in order to decrease
these errors, but to educate in such
a way that he does not become an
editor of the paper himself and so
invalidate the greater education
that goes with the mature assumption of responsibility in an imports
ant field of student effort .
Patience and understanding is
needed to help these students who
work extremely hard at an activi ty
that does not bring with it the rewards of applause and relaxation
that so many other activities do.
Most of the newspaper staff do not
look for personal glory, but have at
heart only the service which the
newspaper can be to the college
community. It is an immensely important service, and an understanding of the problems involved is
needed. I think that here at BSC
this understanding generally does
exist, and we — advisor and newspaper staff—appreciate it and hope
for a continued understanding of
our work.

With Five Smashing Victories
The Husky cagers finished the
season with an overall record of 16
wins and 3 defeats. During the past
two weeks, BSC has knocked off
Shippensburg, Mill ersvill e, Lock
Haven, E. Stroudsburg, and Kutztown state colleges.
At Shippensburg, the Huskies
won 71-58; high scorer for the evening was Dick Lloyd with 28 points.
Marauders Visit
On February 24, the Hu skies met
the visiting Marauders of Millersville and sent them home with a
loss of 80-64. The Huskies employed
the services of starting unit Dick
Lloyd and Bob Herzig at forward
position , Ed Beck at center , and
Fran Curran and Gary Rupert at
the guard shots. During the first
half , the lead seesawed back and
forth between the two teams and
came to rest at 34-31, in favor of
Millersville at half time. The pace
was fast throughout the game and
with about 15 minutes remaining to
be played , BSC took the lead and
held it until the game's end. Herzig
was high scorer for the night with

team has seen a tremendous amount
of improvement throughout the
season and tucked away their first

The administration of BSC is now
preparing a statement describing
methods of dealing with a future
collegiate advanced program. Each
of the 14 state colleges has been
requested by the Penna. Department of Public Instruction to prepare a similar report. Upon completion, BSC's statement will be
distributed to the guidance personnel of all the area high schools.
Under this program of advanced
placement, 141 second ary schools
in Pennsylvania are now off ering
accelerated work in English, mathematics , and science. These courses
are offered to the capable students
and are equivalent to those on the
college level.
After the high school student
graduates and applies for admission
to college, there are two methods
by which he may obtain college
credit for the advanced work he
has done. A special examination
prepared by the Collegiate Educational Examination Board of the
Princeton Educational Testing Service may be taken: if the student
proves his competency through this
test he will be granted the course
credits. The alternative is the development examination administered in the student's local area. When
this program is introduced at BSC
the credit will be granted in a manner similar to that used by Penn
State University. The student will
be granted credit on the basis of
his scores in the College Board Examination.
The introduction of this program
to BSC will be one more step in
keeping apace with the developments in modern education.

by additions to the curriculum in the fields of arts and sciences, leading

This general plan for higher education involves more than 120 institutions in Pennsylvania and thus presents a complex problem. The construction of a general plan becomes complicated by the extent to which

Newspaper Reading Can Be What's New? The M & G Takes Endless Effort
Question
Improved By Understand 'g Weekly
Of News Editor Exec, Staff Confronted With Many
by Teresa McDonald
Do you know how to read a newspaper?
This sounds like a silly question to be asking college students, but
basically, many people have never been acquainted with this procedure.
The most important news story is always found in the right hand
column. The second spot is the outside column on the left of the page.
Newspapers are usually folded into quarters and these top spots are
the first to be seen by the reader. The most important news is always
found on the upper half of the page.
Let 's Read
Now that we have placed the news on the paper — let's read it!
1. The headlines are a convenience. They serve to draw your attention to a story. Little space is allowed for them because the news in
the story is what is really important. Nevertheless, these "heads " must
meet certain standards. They 've got to be brief but yet have eye appeal.
The Maroon and Gold usually allows 16 to 20 letter spaces to a line headline. Try your hand at writing a
headline in so few spaces. It 's kind
of tricky, isn't it?
2. A story is based on a policy of
the five "W's" and "how." The reporter must decide when he is getby Shirl ey Sejjin

Uy Dlanno Campbell
The position o*f News Editor is
located somewhere in the midst of
the long procession from reporter
to Executive Editor. There are aspects of the position that are entirely mechanical and others that
are completely unpredictable.
"Nose for News"
The initial steps are th e most
mechanical ; I notify the reporters
th at their material is due and give
them any news tips that I have
found. Although we have been successfully employing the beat system for three semesters a "nose for
news " always helps in this very important step.
After the news is received, the
executive staff and several of our
more energetic reporters are subj ected to that honorable in stitution
known as "worknight ." Here is
where the reporter 's ability is subj ect to the acid test ; if he doesn 't
pass, the blue pencil takes over.
Time-consuming; Nerve-wracking
Proofing the work and preparing
it for the printer is a time-consuming, nerve-wracking j ob and if the
reporter hasn't done his j ob well
this problem is magnified. It is for
this reason that we must weed out
anyone who isn 't doing his job.
Through this process of elimination
we have narrowed the reporting
staff to 13 students, and, strange as
it may seem, they accomplish more
than th e original staff of 28 did.
Some Rewards
It isn't all "sweat and tear s"
though — there are rewards — and
very gratifying ones at that. The
reporter, through a slow and somewhat discouraging process of trial
and error, is learning to express
himself. This is one compensation
that few org anizations can offer.
Through his duties he is in constant contact with the members of
the college faculty and administration. The effect of these meetings
is seen in his increasing confidence.
My rewards are undefinable. It's
a lot of work; homework goes undone — there 's constant criticism,
and people say we are insane to
continue in such a thankless job.
B u t I lo v e it and wo u ldn 't trade it
for any do-nothing club on campus.
Problems - Confusion to Conclusion
by Kathy Krelsher
Every organization has those
who are the first to come and the
last to leave. Arriving first , the
executive staff is ready to hand out
assignments the moment anyone
walks into the office on a worknight. There is tedious work to be
finish ed and a minority of help
available. Thus, its first to the copy
desk... literally any chair which is
empty... and proofing takes place.
This pasti me requires one red pencil and an eye for grammatical errors (this includes the spelling and
checking of names; punctuation —
elimin ating "salt and pepper" commas , etc....; and sentence structure — to shorten or not to shorten.) After the copy has been thoroughly proofed it must be retyp ed.
This in itself is another task for
many times when the article is

Sight Target
After many weary, intense hours,
the target is in sight — layout!
This problem is solved on Monday.
"Where does this article go and
how long should it be?" are the
questions of the evening. In layout , it is often necessary that many
articles are cut or lengthened —
this comprises a large part of another evening. Before the fin al approval of an article, it receives a
head, which must be counted until
j ust the right amount of letters and
blank space ,fill the line. Now j ust

The call "back to work" requires
a few other essential tools. This
time we may be found with a ruler
in one hand , copy in the other, and
a pencil (red and black) over each
ear. The paper is scattered over every available space as we measure,
count , re-measure, re-count. At last
the paper takes a time-consuming
stretch and goes to bed... in the
hands of the printer.

I Lead 3 Lives As a Reporter *
Stud ent , Snoop and Scoop
by Ken Muttsleinan
Many people have often heard and repeated the story of an assistant
New York Times editor who got over-inspired with his work , bought
safari gear, and went to Africa to find information about one of those
cannibal tribes for use in a feature article. After some time at sea and
weeks of struggling across Africa , tho American found a cannibal village , entered triumphantly, and was greeted by a hungry-looking chieftain: "Who are you?" The nowspapor disciple nervously gasped his
name and said ho was assistant editor for the New York Times. Tho
chief exclaimed through a watering mouth , "Tonight you shall be editorin-chief! "
Warm Hand Extended
Fortunately for members of the Maroon and Gold , there need be no
such excursions into tho "Dark Continent. " Another consolation is that
those professors and students who contribute news to this paper seldom
greet, reporters and representatives of tho paper with a watering mouth
and sharpened tooth. Finally, a third virtue of the Maroon and Gold is
tho warm hand it extends to now members of tho staff . Tho story thut.

The Adventures of '
Wordo Jones
by Sue Halkyard
The setting: Office of Bumpkin
College newspaper , The Black and
Blue, on work night. Members of
the staff can be seen dimly through
the thi ck blue haze and stacked
coffee cups. Papers clutter every
available desk and much of the
floor. The steady clack of typewriter keys is lost amid the jumbled
cacophony of voices. Suddenly one
voice is heard above the clamor —
Miss Lotta Prose , Feature Editor ,
screams to a non-descript figure
who appears to be scratching out
line after line. The victim , hearing
Miss Prose's dulcet tones, turns toward her with an apprehensive air.
Miss Prose (speaking with authority) : "Hey ! Wordo, how about
writing me a feature about 2 %
inches long ? I need a few lines to
finish my page."... and so it goes...
A Little Spice
The feature writer is that poor
specimen of humanity who once
upon a time (he can no longer remember when) remarked, "What
this paper needs is a little spice —
something to give it zip! Let's get
away from this deadly didactic
prose and give the readers something 'out-of-the-ordinary.' " Th u s,
poor Wordo Jones, amateur j ournalist , became "Wordo Jones, Feature Writer."
Mademoiselle Flame
The feat ure writer must have the
ability to differentiate between
what, is a straight news item and
what would lend itself to a more
creative treatment. He must be an
"idea man " and possess a flair for
the unusual. For example, the news
rep or ter wo u ld write: "Bridgette
Flame, movie actress, will make a
personal appearance at Bumpkin
College ... etc." The feature writer
might put it this way: "The sexkitten par excellence, Mle. Brigette Flame, will illuminate these
dismal staid halls on ... etc." Judge
for yo u r se lf , dear reader , just
which one of these openings would
generate the most interest in you !
Public Censure
If , as a feature writer , one expresses a contradictory viewpoint ,
makes an accusation , or oven gives
by implication a generally unaccepted connotation to what the
public believes (or wants to boliove), ho must then bo prepared
to defend himself against, tho onslaught of public censure which is
sure to follow. Take poor Waldo
for instance —- early in his career
ho onco wrote those "illiterate students, " when ho really meant
"those ignorant , students " (wo assume college students nro literate .)

Look ing Towa rds Election
How politically-thoughtful is the average BSC student ?
The college campus can and should be a political training ground
for United States citizens since most colleges have an organized form
of democratic government. When you enter BSC you automatically
become a citizen of the college community and thus the Community
Government Association. You also receive a community citizen 's responsibility to support the CGA Council and the privilege to vote in
elections.
But if there is only a bare minimum of political interest on campus
during the year, how can the college election board solicit the needed
50% of students to vote to make an election valid? Their attempts to
have an even greater total number of votes seems almost futile. It is
even rather discouraging to note that we have to seek out candidates
for CGA Council offices. And the actual voting is just not what it should
be. We often find the election board giving a repeat, performance when
50% of the st udents do not cast a vote. Is there a logical reason for
thi s political apathy ?
Numerous CGA Achievements
An argument stating that College Council has achieved little benefitti ng the student wouM have no factual basis. In a short survey of
th e social activities and improvements in 1961-62 we find that most;
student complaints and "agitated" ideas have materialized through
the efforts and interest of Council — the executive leadership of CGA.
Here are some of the activities and improvements, old and new that
Council has conducted to date this year: Freshman Customs and Parents Day; approval to purchase eight new tapes for College Commons;
Homecoming Weekend with Big-Name entertainment and activities;
purchase of much-needed Choraleer gowns; extension of library hours;
committees under Council prepared the Pilot and Calendar ; created
Husky Lounge and t>ecoration Committees; for the Spring Arts Festival; approved constitutions of Circle K Club, Le Cercle Francais , the
Amateur Radio Club ; Christmas tea; took a poll and contracted Dave
Guard and Kai Winding for Spring Weekend; installation of coinoperated washers and dryers for North Hall; dances with the Jones
Boys, the Kasuals, and Royal Aires; Christmas decorations ; pep rallies,
co-ed swimming.
Student Support Needed
The College Council is more than a group that meets bi-monthly
behind closed doors and whose officers can be seen rushing to and from
the Council Office . Students conduct 90% of non-academic activities
through College Council. And as one can see the Council has served the
college community well. Is it too much to ask that all students reciprocate in a small way ? A manifestation of political interest does not
require the spectacle of soap-box oratory, parading, dinners, banners,
posters, and other facets of full-time campaigning. However, students
should give thoughtful consideration when choosing student leaders.
The candidates for Council need your vote and support — and we trust
your sound j udgment.
BSC Comes Alive
It appeared for a while that the
school spirit on the BSC campu s
was declining. When a person attended a b asketball game or a
wrestling meet in Centennial Gym ,
he could hear cheering and applause for the team members , but
this cheering was nothing compai'ed to the display of school spirit
witnessed last Saturday evening
during the State Wrestling Tournament held at Lock Haven State
College.
Small In Number , But Not Spirit
A good number of BSC fans,
about one-quarter the number of
Lock Haven fans , entered Thomas
Field House at Lock Haven when
th e doors opened at 6:30 p.m. The
BSC fans assembled and began to
cheer their team an hour and a half
before the meet began. The fans
sang " My Gi r l' s A Hullaballo" and
shouted school cheers over and over
again. Although the BSC fans were
smaller in number , they displayed
more spirit than their opponents.
Although no Huskj* matmen took
first place during the first seven
matches, the Husky fans did not
lose any hope or enthusiasm for
their team. The Lock Haven fans
were sure of winning the championship by now and told us so, but this
did not bother the Huskies for they
contin ued to fight for that firs t
placo. Then a Husky grappler took
a first pla ce, and th e BSC fans responded with shouting and applause. It is interesting to note
here th at the Lock Haven fans immed ately became very quiet and
apprehensive ; they know what the
result migh t be (and what did happen) .
1 To 3 and Title
The fi rs t pl ace wi n w a s foll ow ed
by two more first place wins to give
the BSC team the title of State
Champions. After this last match
the Huskies stood and cheered with
unlimited enthusiasm until they
were finally asked to stop so that
the awards could be made. After
the presentation of awards, BSC
students again released a great
amount of energy in the true spirit
of victory. A feeling of happiness
for the victorious Husky matmen
filled the gym.
Wo would like to thank all fans
who traveled to Lock Haven to support the team. But wo would especially like to thank and congratulate Coaches Mr. Russell Houk
and Mr. Michael Flanagan and the
team members for their fine performance during the past season.
Congratulations , State Champs!!

To the Students
^ -w»--w ^ ^- v^- w -v^^^^v^^v^^^^^^^^^r^^
As editor of the Maroon and.
Gold, I am always interested in
comments made by the students
and faculty concerning the college
newspaper and appreciate your
criticisms and suggestions, because
without them the paper cannot do
a complete and thorough j ob of reporting the news, ideas, and opinions on our campus .
The last issue of the M&G began a new series of articles. I was
extremely interested in the remarks and comments that it would
receive. Conversations overheard
indicated that quite a few comments were made ; however, reactions of many of the students
were not to their credit. Would a
very, very brief explanation of this
be in the phrase "If the shoe
fi ts...?"
Many complaints were expressed
that were aimed at a specific staff
member. If you wish to disagree
with what is stated in an issue of
the paper , you have every right to
which you may do this — Letters*
to the Editor. May I say here that
the picture that ran with the article ott the Benchwarmers was
taken casually and with no intention to Implicate any one person.
However, to vent your ire on staff
members who are only doing their
j obs as they are told is unfair to
them. Specifically — Joe Rado was
criticized for taking a picture of
the "Bench-Warmers." If your criticism of him or of the ideas expressed is valid, I am sure it will
hold up in print, and I would be
happy to see that it is printed,
withholding your name if requested. — Macyle Phillips, Editor, Marnon and Gold

Did You Ever?
Did you ever go to a party and find yourself that lucky person <] M
gated to collect and deposit all coats, ladies purses, and other cum! WL
some paraphernalia ? Were you loaded ? (figuratively speaking) . \ m
it seems like I always am — loaded, that is! In fact, I am everyo M
clothes-rack, book case, garbage paid, and repository for the mis M
laneous. Do I have a right to complain — or do I ? ?
1
You see, I am truly a simple loving soul — one of those true hum M
tarians you are always reading about — "Service to others" is my im I
Granted that I am not always so swift in delivering this service — M
in due course of time I manage to perform some of the most import M
'%
services at BSC.
Who Else?
I
For example, who else has the answers to Section B's Aid-to-Vi j
(or is it Audio-Visuals?) test before it is administered? Who else kn J
that Mary Jones just this minute stole Janie Smith's boyfriend — on J
th e 12 o 'clock section of Civ. II is going to get a quickie (because f
now only 10 a.m. and the 9 o'clock section j ust had one ) ? I can \ |
advice on how to prepare the most complete ( and fool-proof) crib-sh; |j
or even provide the simplified method of "how to get a C without re i|j
trying."
|
Perhaps my most important service is that of giving solace and |
laxation to the tired, test-worn, brain-picked, and generally overwor M
students. With me, one can learn to live again — to find that silver lir Ji
amidst the grey academic haze!

The Golden Rule

What do I demand in return for these, my many good deeds ? I |
mand nothing. I only ask for consideration, courtesy, and a chana |
believe that most students are basically clean living, polite, and mat 1
Idon't want to point my finger and say (as mama does to her sev 1

Dear Editor:
Has cheating so permeated this
campus that it stems from the administration down through the student body ?
In this statement, I am making
reference to the Sophomore Testing Program which is to determine
BSC's rating among the fourteen
State Colleges. I noticed two outward signs of dishonesty while a
participant in the testing program.
The firs t was the fact that there
were many juniors and even a few
seniors taking the sophomore tests.
I ask, "Why?" Was the amount of
credits necessary to be excused
from taking the tests raised to include those accelerating students
in an effort to raise our standing?
The other was the fact that we
were given numerous "sample"
questions. There was "one free answer" offered for practically every
part of the test. I don't think we
need that many "samples." ?
were told that if each student 1 "i
answered two more questions t
rectly in the last testing progn ;
we would have "ranked one-two
stead of eighth." Was this "ass
ance" an insurance that we we
answer a few more questions <
rectly ?
I sincerely wish that some* ]
would answer my questions •>
cause at the moment, I can o !;
answer ' them with "cheating" f 5
]
"dishonesty."
r«
If perchance BSC should
;
first, I would say that the 4ioi j
would be meaningless when tin J
are those of us who have seen I' <
the tests were administered.
Very truly you I

WmIn short , th e maj or reward of collage newspaper work is the satisMction of shouldering freely the

Is much of what is going on at the

H What , then , is th e role of the

puty then to give advice on where

ost principle In the heartH of j ournalists, whether they bo students or
professional ncwamcn. But f reedom
must not degenerate Into license.
Making this clear to students is a
most important function of the advisor. There is no censorship In
American newspaper editing. But
if a newspaper allows Itself license
and violates certain legal principles
affecting individual rights, then it
is held accountable in courts of law.
But in every case, action is taken
only aft«r the material is published.
If college newspaper work is to be
valuabl e to young adults, this same
prin ciple must operate in their own
editing responsibilities. And happily it does operate in more than 90
per cent of college and university
publications.
It is the uniq ue responsibility of
college newspaper reporters and
editors that their decisions often
affect a large number of people and
on very important matters. It
would be "safer" to have the advisor make these decisions. With
his experience and better judgment
many errors could be eliminated.
But it is also well to remember
that the best part of the newspaper
training for the students wquld
then also be eliminated. The role
of the advisor is to try to educate
the students in order to decrease
these errors, but to educate in such
a way that he does not become an
editor of the paper himself and so
invalidate the greater education
that goes with the mature assumption of responsibility in an imports
ant field of student effort .
Patience and understanding is
needed to help these students who
work extremely hard at an activi ty
that does not bring with it the rewards of applause and relaxation
that so many other activities do.
Most of the newspaper staff do not
look for personal glory, but have at
heart only the service which the
newspaper can be to the college
community. It is an immensely important service, and an understanding of the problems involved is
needed. I think that here at BSC
this understanding generally does
exist, and we — advisor and newspaper staff—appreciate it and hope
for a continued understanding of
our work.

Basketball Team Completes Season
With Five Smashing Victories
The Husky cagers finished the
season with an overall record of 16
wins and 3 defeats. During the past
two weeks, BSC has knocked off
Shippensburg, Mill ersvill e, Lock
Haven, E. Stroudsburg, and Kutztown state colleges.
At Shippensburg, the Huskies
won 71-58; high scorer for the evening was Dick Lloyd with 28 points.
Marauders Visit
On February 24, the Hu skies met
the visiting Marauders of Millersville and sent them home with a
loss of 80-64. The Huskies employed
the services of starting unit Dick
Lloyd and Bob Herzig at forward
position , Ed Beck at center , and
Fran Curran and Gary Rupert at
the guard shots. During the first
half , the lead seesawed back and
forth between the two teams and
came to rest at 34-31, in favor of
Millersville at half time. The pace
was fast throughout the game and
with about 15 minutes remaining to
be played , BSC took the lead and
held it until the game's end. Herzig
was high scorer for the night with
26 and Lloyd followed with 18. The
JV's also won their game with a
score of 98-66.
Last Home Game
On February 27, Captain Lloyd
led his teammates to a 98-69 victory over Lock Haven. During halftime of the Lock Haven game,

Close Season
The Husky swimmers completed
their season when they met Lycoming College on February 19, and
Lock Haven on February 21. This
team has seen a tremendous amount
of improvement throughout the
season and tucked away their first
win which was over Morgan State
College, 52-43. The State Championship Meet will be held March 10,
at East Stroudsburg State College.
Expresses Appreciation
Coach McLaughlin , on behalf of
himself and the entire swimming
team , would like to extend his appreciation for student interest in
the swimming meets and he hopes
it will continue and grow in future
meets. He also would like to express his pleasure in working with
our swimming team this season and
describes them as "one of the finest
group of boys I have ever worked
with." Special gratitude is conveyed to his team managers, Larry
Tironi , Joe Casarella and Frank
Stoicheff , an d a lso to a l ot her s who
helped with the team and meets
throughou t the year.
Boyd Buckingham presented Dick
with the game ball. The Huskies
made most of their points during
the second half after a fairly close
firs t period. Curran and Herzig
contributed 21 points apiece to the
Husky cause. Before the big game,
the JVs won their game , 70-52.
The next game played was at
East Stroudsburg on March 1. It
t urned out to be a closer game
th an expected, th e final score being 74-71. At half time , Stroudsburg held a 10 point lead and at
one point in the game there was a
3 point gap. Lloyd score 22 points
to bring his Conf erence total to
395 this far and surpass Williams'
