Grade Analysis
Exemplifies Need
For Harder Wo rk

Do you want A's and B's ? If you
do , you must work harder than
ever, stated Mr. John A. Hoch ,
Dean of Instruction. He said that
the percentage of A's and B's h as
been slowly decreasing while the
number of D's and E' s is steadily
increasing. This trend is contributing to a more equitable distribution
of grades.
At the end of each semester the
office of IVre Dean of Instruction
prepares an analysis of all the
grades given by the faculty members for that semester. This analysis is distributed to the faculty
for their information and consideration. The results of the analysis
for the second semester of the 196162 term show the trend.
There were 10,408 grades used
in this study. 12.1% were A's.
30.3% were in the B range. 41.1%
f all ' into the C category. 10.7%
were D's and 3.1% were failures.
An additional 2.7% fall into the
category of condition s, incompletes
or withdrawals. The total D's, E's,
conditionals, incompletes, and withdrawals is 16.5%. This is the largest percentage of these grades for
the past 10 years.

Kehr-Ward Fund "BOOK OF JOB" WILL BE PRESENTED TONIGHT
To Be Increased

The Kerr-Ward Loan Fund has
been increased from $825 to $1,000
pending approval of . the administration. The increase of $175 was
taken from the parking violation
fund so that more students can receive aid instead of a smaller
amount of students borrowing more
money.
The Ward Fund was established
in memory of Miss Irma R. Ward
by alumni who worked in the dining room while she was college dietitian (1924-1939) and Dr. Marguerite W. Kehr, who served as
Dean of Women for twenty-five
years. Because of the outstanding
work of Dr. Kehr, the fund was
renamed the Kehr-Ward Fund upon her retirement.
This fund is available for small
temporary loans to meet emergencies. The loans are limited to a
maximum of $50 per individual for
a period of thirty days, with the
privilege given for a renewal of the
note for thirty days when approved
by the social dean involved. Applications should be made to the Dean
of Students.
All emergency loans made to
Sophomores and Juniors shall be
paid before the end of the college
year. Loans made to Seniors must
be paid before graduation.

False Rumor on
Second Semester
Class Schedules

Teapot 's Tempest

It seems as if there has been somewhat of an uproar raised in a few
circles concerning the "Letter to the Editor" in the last issue of the
Maroon, and Gold. Somehow we cannot help but feel that the proportions
to which the issue has been blown is anything short of ridiculous.
The entire argumen t of those who chose to take the articles as a personal affront lies in their belief that the letter was too broad and was
directed to the entire resident male population. We must here look at the
letter and cite a few of the phrases such as "some of the manners," "some
of the male population," "some of the 'animals,'" "There are the Fellows," "on one occasion," "one of the tables," "a person," "Fellow," "those
of ignorance," and "these fellows." Qualifying statements such as these
should be sufficient evidence that the letter was not directed to the whole,
but rather to the minority of the students who are guilty of these deeds.
A headnote stating this fact may have been in order but we really think
that students on the college level should be able to discern something such
as this without being led by the hand into it.
In addition to this argument of somewhat questionable plausability
lies the question of just who submitted the letter. The indignation was
especially strong when it was found that the person writing it was a male
student. Could it be that the venom of truth in attack seems all the more
lethal when it is inj ected by a member of one's own sex ? One can only
gaze in profound amazemen at the tactics being utilized by a small group
of men as they piece together insignificant bits of fact and fiction and
then proclaim the M & G staff incompetent.
At this point we find only one valid point of argument from the male
student population. This is that the letter was aimed at the men's offences
and nothing was said about a few of the girls' improper conduct. Well, all
that can be said here boys is, "Why don 't you write a letter to the Editor?"
For the most part though, resident women have been approaching me
personally and stating that it was about time something was done. We
have an exception to this too though. Ann Edwards, President of the
Waller Hall Association has requested that it be mentioned in the M & G
that it was riot a resident woman who write the letter.
In the long run , we think the entire point of that issue's editorial page
was missed. We presented two articles, one on an examin ation week and
the other on the Cuban situation , with the hopes of stimulating some intellectual discussion. However, except for a few admirable cases, these
issues of gre ater importance were passed over lightly.

Celebrate An Old Tradition

Our American Thanksgiving is the first such holiday in the world to
become legalized . Yet, like most other American customs, it is a fusion
of the customs of many countries.
Thanksgiving is usually associated with the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony and the American Indians. However, the actual idea of celebrating
the harvest is very old. In ancient Greece, a nine-day celebration honored
Demeter , goddess of the harvest. The Romans honored Ceres with an
Ingathering Festival.
Jewish Festival Is Oldest
The oldest harvest festival is that of Succoth. After the Hebrew tribes
had left Egypt, they wandered for forty years before reaching the Palestine. During this time they lived in lattice huts in the desert. When they
fi nally reached their destination , they wished to show gratitude to God.
In order that they would not forget their troubled times, they lived in
small huts each year for a period of seven days of prayer and feasting. The
Jewish people of today still observe this occasion with thei " Feast of the
Tabernacles.
Harvest or Ingathering Feasts have been celebrated for hundreds of
years in the farming sections of Lithuania , Poland , Czechoslovakia and
other European countries. In Russia , in old en ti m es, the harvest festival
was a joyous time for the peasants. Before the actual celebration , the
young Russians observed a solemn ritual to bring good luck to the household. Carrying wreaths made of wheat , rye, barley, and oats, they would
walk slowly to their homes; the old wreath of the previous year was taken
down and replaced with the new one. Afterwards come the feast and folk
dance, the "khorovad ," which depicts the harvest routine.
The Festiva l of the Harvest Moon is China 's contribution to the cus*.
torn of Thanksgiving. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the harvest moon reaches fullness on the fifteenth day o[ the eighth moon. This
is called the Moon 's Birthday.
America Thanksgiving Evolved
Thus, it is seen from these ancient customs and festivals evolved
Thanksgiving Day in America. It took many years for Thanksgiving Day
to become a regularly observed holiday. The custom was celebrated sometimes on a statewide basis and sometimes on a nationwide basis until
President Lincoln made the last Thursday in November an annual , national Thanksgiving 'Day. In his Proclamation , Lincoln stated :
"The year that is drawing to a close has been filled with the
blessings of fruitful skies... It has seemed to me fit and proper
that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the American people."

by Diane Emorich
As I have been sitting here in my
dark and dreary imprisonment ,
knowing that any time I will be
taken away and killed like the rest
of my friends, I can't help thinking
about my life.
There is li tt le room to m ov e, and
I find it difficult to breathe. I'm
developing a pain in my . left leg
and a crink in my neck. If I could
only get out , the Srst thing I would
do is run and run until I was so
tired that I couldn't run anymore.
There is one consolation — I have
food in front of me all the time ;
however, the food consists of mere
staples and water.
Pleasant Memories of Famil y
I have pleasant memories of my
family and friends as I wait for my
doom. I'm wondering if they have
been taken away and are being
treated as cruelly as I have been.
Oh , why am I here? What have I
done to deserve this ?
I hear voices ; th ey 're approaching me. They 're opening th e door
and taking me with them. Where
are they leading me? Please, I'm
innocent! I'm innocent! But it' s too
late , I feel myself passing into another world. What was that they
said? Oh yes, something about how
fine a turkey dinner I would make
for them tomorrow, Th anksgiving
Day.

A Commons'
Thanksgiving

by Linda Williams
Although the real "Turkey Day "
isn't until November 22, students
are looking forward to their meal
in the Commons on the Tuesday
before Thanksgiving. The boys especially are awaiting that fateful
eve. After attentively listening to a
lecture on "How to Carve a Turk ey, " watching a demonstration of
th a t fine art , and diligently taking
n otes , these fellows are all hoping
for the chance to try their skill. We
see quite a few young men walking
around campus with a notebook in
hand , muttering, "Let's see—place
lef t hand firmly on bird. Grasp leg
with right hand and pass said leg
to left. Next , carefully ... .Hmmm.
What is next? "
Carving- Part of Education
The girls are thankful that "Sadie Hawkins Day" didn't come on
Thanksgiving. The boys aren't
thankful at all ; they're too busy
carving. Don't worry, boys. The
Slater representative can tell you
that its good experience — a part
of your education. Just keep telling
yourselves that. Statistics show ,
however, that 75% of the Slater
fowls land in the server's lap. Who
will be the lucky ones this year ?
But girls, don't relax — the meal
is not completed by the turkey
carving. Some of you are going to
be faced with the formidabl e task
of cutting and serving — of all
things — a pumpkin pie. They don 't
even offer a course in that.
Slater Walters Praised
Last, but not least, for we would
not, eat without them , let's not forget the Slater waiters. These industrious young men and women
must make over fifty trips to the
kitchen with an average load of 50
pounds a trip. Then there is the
kitchen staff who go out of their
way to decorate our food with that
little "touch of greenery " — the
over-present parsley.
This year let's celebrate Thanksgiving by giving thanks to the gentleman who carves your bird, the
gal who cuts your plo, and the
waiter who frantically serves you,

Books Are Souglit BSC To Be Back ;
For Education
In Swing Again
by Kathy Rosolli
In Philippines
publication of the ar-

Working in the Peace Corps does
not consist solely of living in the
j ungle and fighting wild animals. A
very important part of the work
consists of teaching the young
children of the various countries
served. Teaching cannot be done
without books and here is where
the non-peace corps members can
assist the Peace Corps efforts.

Linda Henry
Miss Linda Henry, a correspondent of a BSC student and present
member of the Peace Corps, m ade
the following statement about the
need for books in the Philippines :
"You should see our tiny houses
filled with several dozen children
from first grade to senior high
school every day from six in the
morning till seven at night, ex cept
when they are in school , reading
and borrowing our meager supply
of books. We could use many
thousand more books. None of
these children have been to a library before and few have ever had
a book they could take home. There
are no town libraries, no school libraries and in fact , textbooks must
be shared by at least five children
in the classroom and m ay n ot be
taken home. We would a ppreciate
any kind of books — Golden Books,
school reader s, novels, coloring
books , science m at eri al , t ex tbooks ,
and other books at any level of
learning, etc."
Miss Henry is undertaking the
project of establishing a library in
their area of the island and are in
dire need of books. She is asking
the various campus organizations
if each of them would undertake
the small project of sending her at
least one box of books. If an organization does undertake this project ,
it will be solely responsible for the
collection of the books collected
from the members , the packaging
of them , and the small expense involved in their shipment.
Dr. Lanterman has donated suu
books and Dr. Custer also has donated books for the purpose . Th( .'
following clubs have responded
favorably to the sending of books :
Pi Sigma Pi , Science Club , International Relations Club , Kappa
Delta Pi , Pi Omega Pi , and the
Athenaeum Club. Mr. Himes also
stated he has several boxes of
books for a club if they will be responsible for sending them.
So students here is a good way
of advertising our democratic way
of life. If this program is successful
on ' our campus, Miss Henry will
mnke contacts in other schools to
contribute books for her proj ect.

BSC 'Designated As
NROTC Test Center

Bloomsburg State College has
been designated as one of the centers to administer the seventeenth
nnnual national competitive examination for the Naval Reserve Officers Training Cprps. The examinations will be given on December
8, 1962, according to Dr. E. Paul
Wagner, Professor of Psychology
at the college,

Since the
ticle, "The Snip and the Pendulum,"
in a recent issue, the Maroon and
Gold has been deluged with queries
concerning the. whereabouts of
Foucalt's familiar experiment.
Such remarks as, "I knew there
was something different about Science Hall. " or . "Do you think the
pendulum was stolen by a Communist agent in an effort to weaken our morale?" were heard , or
r ath er overhe ard , by our on-thespot reporters.
Campus Searched
In an effort to quell this campus
chaos, the Maroon and Gold has
effected a campus-wide dragnet.
Bowling fans, weight-lifters, and
shot-put enthusiasts were fingerprinted and mugged. Both students
and teachers were questioned as to
when they last saw the mysterious
bob. No clue was left unpursued;
these efforts, howev er , proved
fruitless.
One afternoon , h ow ever , after
we had "grilled" two elementary
maj ors with areas in science, one of
the alert reporters suggested that
we question Mr. Gorrey. "Oh, the
Superintendent of Building and
Grounds wouldn't know anything
about a missing pendulum," was
the brilli ant reply. We decided,
nevertheless, to follow this absurd
clue.
Gorrey Solves Mystery
Shades of Foucalt I Here was the
answer! "The pendulum?" r eplied
Mr. Gorrey noneommittedly. "Oh
yes, we took that down before the
frayed wire snapped." If that wire
had broken, the bobf could have
ricocheted and knocked some sense
into a student's head; this really
could have been disastrous.
With Mr. Gorrey 's promise that
the pendulum would be replaced ,
we rushed back to our office , eager
to prin t the news that would restore BSC's equilibrium.

Lett er

. . to the Editor

The letter below was presented
to the College Council at the meeting that was held November 12.
In behalf of the 1100 men of
Bloomsburg State College, the Men
Resident' s Council wishes to officially protest the "Letter to the Editor " article as it appeared in the
last issue of the Maroon and Gold.
We feel this article was completely uncalled for in every way,
shape and form. To attempt to generalize the men on our campus as
animals could result in serious
complications.
We feel a close investigation '
should be made into the type material printed and the result it has
on the student body. ¦
Please give this every consideration.
Very truly yours,

A People-to-People Conference ,
'whose aim is to set up closer understanding between other nations
through students, was recently
held in Harrisburg, Pa. The Conference had representation from
every college, university, junior
college, technical school, and conservatory in the state. Mr . Myles
Anderson, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, and John Kn oll , student representative of BSC, w ere
present at the Conference.
The organization had its beginning when th e students of the University of Kansas saw a need for
better international relations on
the campus level. They solved the
problem by helping the foreign students find summer jobs to help finance their education.
It was brought out in the Conferen ce th at f our basic committees
should be formed if a college plans
to have foreign students. They are :
hospitality, forum , employment ,
and student abroad. A suggestion
was made that a small International Relations Committee be set up
as part of the Community Government Association to gain more information about People-to-People.
Anyone wishing to contribute
toys or clothing for children of
the Fernville School .for the
Mentally Retarded should contact any of the following: P.O.

Pumpkins In The Bathtub

"Pumpkins in the bathtub—" Such a thing could only happen in Hassert House, Waller Hall's newest offspring. Hassert House is actually an
annex of Waller Hall. It is located on East Second Street and accommodates the overow of women students admitted to Bloomsburg — mostly
freshmen girls, but with a few upperclassmen here and there to set a
good example. ( ? ? ? ? )
Those who see our new home are usually quite impressed. With all
new furniture — wide twin beds with white cushioned headboards, desks,
dr essers , contour chairs, pole, lamps, and floor-length mirrors — it seems
to be the epitome of comfort and convenience.
Not Always So Comfortable
But, all was not quite so nice at first. In fact , the situation was a bit
disheartening. The first day of the first year of college, twenty-nine enthusiastic, eager to please, and extremely confused freshmen girls and
transfer students see for the first time their new home. "Looks all right
from the outside. Let's see our rooms — Oh — the floors were just varnished , and they're still sticky. Well, here are the beds — hmmmm, nice.
But , what about dressers, and don't we get desks and chairs? They haven't
arrived yet ? Oh — yes — we understand. We'll try to make the best of it."
Make the best of it. We tried. And looking back, it was a hilarious
situation. At the time we might have thought : "Oh , no , things like this
j ust happen in the movies." But, here we were — twenty-nine girls with
no dressers, desks , or chairs. For two weeks we lived out of suitcases.
You could always tell a Hassert House girl by the cut of her clothes.—
generally wrinkled and rumpled.
Furniture Supplied
By degrees, the furniture arrived. The dressers came first , then eventually the desks and chairs came, and finally the floor-length mirrors.
Comment by one of the girls after the much-valued mirrors came: "Thank
goodness. I've forgotten what I look like." With new furniture nicely
arranged in our rooms, we began to live like "normal Bloomsburg students"— well, almost.
Unusual Happenings Result
With twenty-nine girls living under such novel conditions, anything
can happen. And it usually does. There was the time you couldn 't t ake a
bath, because the tub was filled with pumpkins; they were eventually
used for Halloween decorations. One telephone in the house proves a
gross underestimation of woman's capacity for speech. It is also interesting to watch the "mad rush" to answer the phone. Because of limited
bathroom facilities — ten girls to a bath — we have found it advisable
to make reservations well ahead of time, sometimes as early as six in the
morning.

ARAB SITUATION DISCUSSED BY
HASAN DURING VISIT TO BSC

Mr. Saddat Hasan spoke to several social studies classes on the
subj ect of "Cultural Contributions
of the Arab World to the Modern
World" during a two day visit to
BSC. Mr. Hasan , chief of Press and
Public Liaison of the Arab States
Delegations Office in New York
City began his discussions by explaining th at "Arab" is not a racial
term or religious term but is similar to the term "American " ex cept
that the Arabs cannot definitely
trace their ancestry. The Arab
states have the components of a
nation in theory only. In reality a
nation, under one government ,
does not yet exist. The Arab
League is now trying to bring
these stales together under one
government comparable to our
early form of government under
the Articles of Confederation.
Hasan Discusses Arab Problems
Mr. Hasan held a two-hour discussion in Waller Hal] Lobby in
the evening during which students
could ask any questions concerning the problems f acing the Arab
world today. The first question
posed the problem of the existence
of the Arab States and Israel together in the Middle East . Mr.
Hasan explained that the proper
atmosphere of peace must firs t be
* created. This would involve consid-

eration of Israel as a nation with
fixed boundaries instead of being
a homeland for all Jews. He also
explained that Israel must discont inue its policy of expansion. About
one-third of the population of Isra el, mostly government officials ,
are avowed to this expansion policy. Also border incidents, particularly those planned and carried
out , must stop. Mr. Hasan stated
th at the Arabs will not start a
conflict with Israel , but will not
stand for an Israeli attack either.
U.S. Cannot Bo Impartial
Mr. Hasan feels th at the United
States cannot enter into the ArabIsraeli conflict in an impartial
manner because the political parties of the U.S. pla n their policies
to gain the Jewish vote. .Until this
situation is alleviated , the Arab
states will look to other nations
for help. The Communists look
upon this situation with favor because it gives them a chance to
gain a strong foothold in the Arab
states.
Communism Less Prevalent
At the present time Mr. Hasan
considers the Communist element
in the Arab states to be less prevalent th an in the United States.
According to Mr. Hasan , the Arab
st ates are neutral in the cold war
between the East and the West ,
but they are not neutral when it
comes to ideology of the word
"neutral." Neither are they neutral with regard to Communism
because they are, in theory, opposed to this type of government.
The Arabs have strict laws which
exile anyone convicted of Communistic practices. However, Mr.
Hasan told the group that the top
students are sent to Russian as
well as American universities. He
also states that the Arabs are recipients of Russian loans (Aswan
Dam ) and commerce.
Studied in U.S.
Mr. Hasan was born near Jerusalem, educated in the American
Boys' School in Ramallah , w orked
with the Department of Statistics
in Pa lestine , and taught Ar abic to
British Army offi cers. Later he returned to the school from which
he graduated to teach chemistry
and math. He received his Bachelor 's and Master's degrees in

"A thing of beauty is a j oy forever." This statement describes
many of the bulletin boards posted
in Noetling hallway. The active
imagination and creativity of the
students illuminates an otherwise
dismal area. The variety of themes
is refreshing and stimulating. Behind each project, however, a number of headaches occur.
The initial problem is topic selection or basic theme. A wise
choice here often reduces other
problems. The topic must be original, unique, and applicable to college students. The main factor at
this stage is unity . Then , a caption
which will intrigue, enchant , or
motivate must be selected. After
this, the materials that have been
gathered must be artistically arranged. Color, balance, tex ture ,
clearness must be considered. The
lettering also must effectively tie
the board together. Finally, evaluation of the executed project should
be given. Hence, a' project is comnlotoH

Talking with the "victims " shows
th at the experience gained by such
a task is very beneficial. One student commented that he could now
truly appreciate the value of gaining this experience. It takes practice to prepare an effective display.
Another individu al replied that
trying to be unique in the display
utilized his repressed creative talent.
A positive aspect noticed by the
in structors is the influence of the
principles of art appl i ed from the
freshmen introd uctory course.
They feel that the art department
considers such applicational techniques in discussing art principles.
This previous training improves
the bulletin board displays.
Creativi ty in the displays has
ranged from the remote to the absolute. At times one wonders what
does it signify ; at other times, the
idea is clearly presented and executed. The topics have ranged from
the value of the oceans to getting
flu shots , from freedom of voting
to the thr eat of a tiny island dominating the world. Other topics
center around seasons, holidays ,
current news items, etc.
The effectiveness of these displays can be proven by the number
of students and faculty who pause
before the displays to examine and
remark on the ability shown by
some students to clearly express
an idea or fact. Also, visitors of the
school and members of conference
groups complement the administration of the creative talent of the
students. '

from Penn State University, recently lectured on "Alephatic Carbonium Ions" to college students
and faculty and students from the
local high school in an American
Chemical Society meeting of the
BSC Science Club.
The American Chemical Society 's further interest in the field of
science education h a s brought
about its sponsoring of "A Visiting Professor " program which has
been promoted nationally during
the last few years. While this pro gram has not yet been established
on this campus, it is the hope of
Dr. Lanterman, who is chairman
of th e Educational Committee of
the Susquehanna Valley Section of
this society, to provide this opportunity to BSC science students
during the spring semester through
the auspices of Science Club.
Speaker to Talk to Science Club
If such a program materializes,
a notable individual in some field
of science will visit our campus to
speak to Science Club, or speak at
other meetings, or to visit our science classes.
As part of the recent business
meeting, a committee was appointed to set up plans for the spring
semester field trip. The members
chosen for this committee are
Barry Smith, Jack Avery, Rose
Marie White, Carl Harnberger,
Larry Drumm, and Joseph Kupert.

Notes And Quotes — Larry Recla and Barry Grouse
For this issue, opinion of smoking in classes were gathered. The
purpose of this column , however,
is not to crusade, but to be informative. The general opinion of
| the "men in Carver " is that adequate facilities are not available
for classroom smoking, and it's not
worth the time and trouble to
make them. Student opinion depends greatly on whether or not
the individual student smokes.
Non-smokers are happy that there
is not smoking in the classroom ;
smokers wish there were. It was
int eresting to note that there was
almost a complete absence of
"radical" opinion. Students and
faculty alike, for the most part ,
had a preference, bu t no one
seemed ready to start a revolution.
Thanks to all those who expressed
their opinions for the column, and
especially to Mr. Bashore, who did
an excellent j ob of summing up
most of the arguments of either
side in his quote.
Yes , smoking should be allowed
in class, but only on the basis that
it would not interfere with the student's work.
Ted Roll, Sophomore
No, because it would be too distracting to everyone in the classroom. After all, nicotine does supposedly lower your thinking processes. Then too, it is difficult to
supply facilities for smoking without going through added trouble.
Joseph Nutaitis, Sophomore
No, because it has been proven
that smoking retards both mental
and physical activity. Also, it tends
to make our classrooms likeable to
a smoking lounge, and I think this
would be disrespectful to the very
principles of education.
John Skowronski, Sophomore
I definitely feel that if the proper facilities were available, smoking in the classrooms, of this college should be permitted. I believe
that most students would find any
given class more relaxing and feel
more at home if permitted to
smoke.
Thomas R. Ryan, Sophomore
I do not believe that smoking in
the classroom is necessary. A student has a great many other places
at his disposal where he can practice his habit. Also, no student in
the past has suffered ill effects
from refraining from smoking during class. I would hope that , u ntil
some great scientific breakthrough
proves that classroom smoking actually aids a student in getting a
"B" instead of a "C' , Bloomsburg
students will have the good sense
not to press the issue.
J. Robert Sands, Sopho m ore.
I think smoking in classrooms is
unnecessary. It would not only
cause irritation to the non-smokers, but it would distract one from
getting the full content and understanding from the instruction.
ivionika vizociiero , .j unior

I cannot agree that smoking in
class is a good idea chiefly, because
-it would not only be a distract ion
to the individual who smokes, but
it would certainly be an annoyance
to those people who don't smoke.
Even if the facilities were available, although I smoke, I wouldn't
make use of them. I feel it's hard
enough to be alert in the classroom
without having something to stink
and fog up the room. Besides, if we
let smoking start at BSC, the next
thing the students would want ,
would probably bo a half on tap to
koop them from being thirsty.
Martin J . Jliuw, Sophomore*
No, a smokey, stale smelling

Eight students enrolled in the
Division of Business Education
were formally initiated recently
into Alpha Delta Chapter of PI
OMEGA PI fraternity. The students had gone through a week of
pledge activities. Requirements for
admission are a cumulative average of 2.8 and two semesters in the
Business Education Club.

Students at BSC and colleges ail
over the United States are looking .
forward to Thanksgiving. To the
average college student Thanksgiving means a few extra days of
vacation , getting together with our
old friends f rom high school, and
really celebrating when mom goes
all out on the Thanksgiving Day
dinner . Holidays today have become so commercialized that we
forget their real meaning behind
them.
Th anksgiving should mean more
to us than that. We should remember the initial cause for which
it was set aside—to give thanks.
We can be thankful merely for the
fact that we're alive, thankful that
we are a little more fortunate than
others and have the opportunity
for an education. We should giv e
th anks th at we c an w alk , t alk , see ,
and hear.
So , on November 22, let us remember the pilgrims and their
reasons for the First Thanksgiving, and give thanks.

during the game he evaded the
Cheyney linemen and ran the ends

This year Bob has only played in
two varsity games, and as of now
his biggest problem is experience.

The Huskies of BSC lost their
third game of the season to a fired
up Kutztown State eleven , 12-6.
This was probably the biggest upset in the State Conference this
year. The Husky offense could not
move the ball on the snow covered
field , on the other hand Kutztown's
heavier backs moved the ball very
well.
The game was played in a driving snowstorm and by the time the
game was over there were over
four inches of snow on the field.
Not. only did the snow hamper the
running game of the Huskies but it
also stopped the passing of Dick
Rohrer.
Touchdown Pass
Kutztown was led by the fine
quarterbacking of Bill Wiggins
who threw three passes and completed two of them, one w as fo r a
touchdown. Ron Steigerwalt was
the workhorse of the Bears attack
as he netted 109 yards on the
ground , almost thr ee tim es as
much yardage as the whole Husky
team combined could gather.
Coach *Bud Heilman of Kutztown , who formerly coached here
at BSC a f ew years back , h ad his
boys really fired up. Kutztown has
a young club and they should be
one of the better teams in the
eastern conference next season.
Stroudsburg Game
On November 10, th e Huskies
came within one touchdown of
pulling the biggest upset of the
season as they dropped a 19-12 decision to East Stroudsburg State
College. By defeating BSC, the
Warriors wrapped up the eastern
title of the PSCC. Tomorrow they
meet Slippery Rock State College
for the State College title.
ESSC scored midway through
the first period on a 3-yard run by
Jan Beliveau, a big 15-y ard penalty
( called against the Husky bench)
was a fetor in this scoring drive
for ESSC. The Husky offense
moved the ball very well in the
firs t half but were unable to come
up with any real threats. In the
third quarter, ESSC scored their
second touchdown a.j Bill Lewis
passed to Toby Barkman . on a play
th at covered 34 yards. This was
perhaps the big play of the game
for ESSC as th ey needed 15 yard s
for a first, down when Lewis hit
Barkman for the TD. Lewis passed
to Barkman for the extra point
and the Warriors led 13-0.
*
Perfectly Thown Pass
After ESSC scored their second
TD, the Huskies came back to
score on a perfectly thrown pass
from 'Dick Rohrer to Moses Scott
on a. play that covered 40 yards.
In the 4th quarter the Warriors
scored on a 3-yard run by Jan Beliveau and led 19-6. Rohrer took to
the air again in the final period
and passed a strike to Tvlike Klembara for a 27-yard TD pass play.
down pass from Kurzinsky and set
up another by catching one on the
four yard line.
As for the Cheyney game, Di ck
was the leading pass catcher for the
Huskies. He has also caught the
most touchdown passes for a member of the team.
Dick is a junior , majoring in elementary education. His hometown
is Exeter, and he has j ust finished
