runs high as BSC prepares to greet
Johnny Mathis, one of the most
outstanding male vocalists of cu rrent international fame. The climax of the excited anticipation
will bo reached Tuesday, Novemb er 19, at 8:30 pm as the event be- '
comes a reality in Centennial
Gym.
F r o m a rather inauspicious
birth , a combination of talent ,
t r a i n i n g , encouragement, and
chance have "brought Johnny Mathis to the position of a recent
commemoration with eight gold
records for his four super-selling
albums on the market at the same
time. Johnny was the fourth of
seven children born to Clem and
Mildr ed Mathis who lived out as
chau ffeur-butler-cook team. Clem's
success as a vaudeville song and
dance man was not great enough
to support his growing family, but

his enthusiasm for show business
was passed on to his children.
Early Training
When Johnny was 13, his father
took him to Connie Cox, a local
vocal teacher, who had a reputation of helping talented youngsters, regardless of their financial
positions. Miss. Cox believed so
strongly in his ability that she
coached him for the next five years
free of charge,
Despite Miss Cox's faith and tutoring and his obvious talent
Johnny was wary of pursuing a
singing car.eer. More than anythi n g, he aspired to the financial
security of a physical education
teacher. His qualifications for this
profession were not wanting either.
Johnny had made athletic history
at George Washington High School
and by the end of his freshman
year at San Francisco State Col-

lege sports enthusiasts were hailing him as a future Olympic star.
Chance Discovery
Johnny's second change in plans
came with a chance visit to an informal Sunday afternoon j am session. While Johnny was contributing a song, Helen Noga, a
shrewd businesswoman, who copiloted with her husband John,
two of the Bay Area's most successful niteries, was thoroughly
impressed and presently was Johnny 's manager.
But Johnny is still very athletically-minded—he keeps himself in
top physical shape with tennis,
basketball and swimming. However, his physical strength is
matched by a weakness—sweaters.
No mat t er where he is, or how
tight his schedule, if a sweater in
a store window catches Johnny's
eye, he dashes in to buy it.

No Rock and Roll
Perhaps one of the most outstanding things about Johnny's
career is the fact that during the
inundation of the world by "rock
'n r oll" John n y Mathis has succeeded in becoming one of the alltime great vocalists without ever
singing rock and roll tunes. Perhaps this is a result of his initial
training being exclusively in classical music.
Prior to his appearance here,
BSC has had to go to many extra
preparations, some .of th em bei n g
the hiring of a grand piano and Hi
Fidelity sound system, purchase of
new lights, a speci al st age, and an
intercommunication system, and
many more. Has all this been worth
it ? You'll see Tuesday night.

CGA Campai gn to Keep Husky Clean

Help keep Husky Lounge clean! Everyone cooperates by contributing
to the United Fund , to maintain the supply of needed plasma in the Blood
Bank and to help sanitation engineers keep our cities beautiful. Bloomsburg is now asking you , the citizens of BSC to do your part in keeping
Husky Lounge clean.
Deplorable Condition
It has been brought to the attention of College Council that the conditions existing in Husky Lounge from the hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. are
deplorable. The edifice is literally strewn with trash from top to bottom.
Many suggestions were placed before Council to try and eradicate this
situation , including placement of additional trash containers , securing
the services of a studen t worker to keep the Uoor clean , encouraging
student drives, etc. All these stops seem to be unnecessary. After having
a snack or eating lunch , students should take it upo n themselves to deposit their own trash in the proper container.
CIohcmI for Cleaning
The Husky Lounge has always boon the center of student activity
during the day, and unless students take It upon themselves to keep
their lounge clean, action will bo taken to close it for one hour during
the afternoon for the purpose of cleaning the refuse from the floor. This
would undoubtedly be to the dismay of the many students and faculty
members who enj oy an afternoon "break." The problem la big: the answer 1h ftlmplo — clean your own mesa I

BSC & MSC Give
Combin 'd Concert

Rehearsals are now being held

the Maroon and Gold Concert Band
on December 7 at Millersyille and

half-time at football games.
The concerts will be conducted
by Mr. James Zwally, dire ctor of
the Millersville State College
Band; Mr. Nelson Miller, director
of the Maroon and Gold Band ;
and Dr. Charles Carlson, assistant
director of the M&G Band.
Following football season, the
M&G Band re-organizes into the

hours per week with school-owned
instruments available to all. Anyone with ability is urged to join.

Bows To St. Joe's

The BSC Debating Team finished the LaSalle College Varsity
Debate tournament in early November with four wins and six
losses. The winning debates were
evenly divided between the affirmative team of Judy Applegate and
Edward A'zary and the negative
team of William Roweth and William Koutler. Each side handled
five rounds of debate.
The winner of the tournament
was St. Joseph's College (Philadel phia).
BSC's record of four wins and
six losses tied it with La Salle College (the host of the tournament) ,
Howard University and Wilkes
Colleee.
The next varsity tournament
will be on November 16 at Edinbourgh State College. Following
these tournaments BSC will be
represented at the Villanova varsity tournament by the affirmative
team of John Naltras and John
Witcoski and the negative team
of Carole Rannoch and Fay Lelby.
This tournament will be a "first"
for BSC In that each team must
debate both sides of the question
during the course of the tournamen t.

Number 10

Si Zentner to Appear Tues. ;
Add Life to Dance World
Appearing as the second half of
a double billing with Johnny Mathis, Si Zentner will be at BSC
Tuesday, November 19, at 8:30 pm.
Zentner 's appeal to both the
new and old generations of dancers
was initially brought about by his
rendition of Hoagy Carmichael's
"Up a Lazy River." The task of
combining an old song with a new
sound was necessitated by the fact
that , at the time of Zentner's rise ,
there was a new generation of
dancers being added to the already
existing one. The task was great
but , after some struggle, Zentner
overcame it.
Starts Career Early
Having a musical career was in
itself a difficulty for Si Zentner
right from his youth. From the age
of 4 to 15 he played the violin , and
in Bro okly n, that made life tough.
"I used to get clobbered when the
kids saw me with my violin case ,"
Si reports.
While Concef tmaster at Thomas
Jefferson High School he formed
his own dance band and began
playing other instruments, fin ally
forsaking his violin for the trombone which is now somewhat of a
trademark with him.
After six months on the trombone he won a coveted Philharmonic scholarship from the Guggenheim foundation which enabled
him to get special instruction from
Alfred E. Clark, first trombonist
with the New York Philharmonic
Oro hpstrn

As a teenager, Si began playing
professionally in the Catskill
Mountain Circuit with Danny
Kaye and Red Skelton. He then
played lead trombone with Les
Brown. Later he joined Harry
James and went to the West Coast
for the Chesterfield show and motion pictures.
Subsequently, Zentnev became a
featured soloist with Jimmy Dorsey, M-G-M Studios Orchestra.
During the time Si also featured
on many records with stars such
as Dinah Shore, Gordon MacRae,
Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra.
Signs with Liberty
When he signed with Liberty
Records their comment was that
in Liberty 's signing of the great
Zentner band ". . . We have jumped
into the big band field with both
feet . . . dancing feet to be exact.
Liberty 's policy will be to give this
great band every bit of promotional exposure possible,"
.

Si Zentner
Si Zentner h as made one of the
more persistent efforts to bring
new life to the dance band field.
The secret of his success has been
largely unmasked and it promises
continuing and growing popularity
. . . and with it, memories of the
d ays when "name" bands dominated popular music, are being hopefully stirred.

Deans Discussed
College Pr oblems

Dr. J. Alfred McCauslin, Dr.
Ralph Herre, Dean Elton Hunsinger, and Mr. Myles Anderson represented BSC at the Pennsylvania
Association of Student Personnel
Administrators Conference held
November 3, 4, and 5 at Allenberry, Pa.
The central theme of the conference was that deans should' be
concerned with ami should take a
stand on national issues. The representatives also discussed the
question of government subsidy to
private colleges and the reduction
of the 50% rate of failures and
dropouts in colleges.
The program included several
lectures, a film , group discussions,
and panel discussions. The main
point derived from the conference
was how the many colleges meet
and solve problems.
Johnny Mathis : "I want my audience to listen to every word I
sing therefore the songs have got
to say something. That's why I will
not sing rock n' roll. I sing the
popular classics and I like jazz, but
none of that slam bang stuff. "

Oratoricl Contest Mathis Describes
Open To Everyone "His Kind of Girt"

The Forensic Club, first of its
kind at BSG, is sponsoring an orai torical contest in extemporaneous
and oral interpretative speaking.
The contest will be held at 7:30 pm,
December 11 and 12 in Carver Auditorium .
The contest Is open to anyone
who wishes to participate, dependent only on previous notification of
participation through Miss Short,
Club advisor , at Box 82; or any
member of the Speech Department, before November 20.
All speeches are to be limited to
5 to 8 minutes in length. Extemporaneous contestants will be notified November 25 of the general
topics for competition. Oral interpretation participants are limited
to English or American authors,
excluding drama, and are requested to submit titles by November
25.
The, contest offers an opportunity to all students to further their
speaking ability and to develop a
public-speaking manner.

Parking Problem
Nationwide

A survey of the college parking
problem indicates that' out of the
4.5 million undergraduates attending college this fall, 44% will report to classes on wheels. Quite in
contrast to the idea of most students struggling to keep in college
becau se of finan ces, the fact that
nearly two million cars will be
parked on campus this year makes
us wonder if money is the real
cause of most college dropouts.
Cars can also be a distinct factor
in low grades and bad study habits.
However, colleges as a rule do not
seem to object to cars on campus.
The unlucky students who attend
colleges which ban campus parking have to be content with racing
parking meters.
Colleges in general are tough on
student auto violations. A star
halfback at Dartmouth was suspended when caught owning a car
while attending school on financial
aid.
Northwestern University has a
very direct approach to student
driving, "Cars are still unnecessary to a college education."
"Augmented Roman Alphabet."
Dr. Wagner wishes to invite all interested BSC students to discuss
these reforms and trends with him ,
for they are movements in education which may have a decided effect on all future teachers.

and

It is the fortune —.and sometimes misfortune — of male showbusiness performers to find themselves surrounded by females at
stage doors, parties and the like.
None of us is so blase as to HATE
such attention , but there are times
when it gets pretty hectic and dis*
tressing.
"I have been asked to j ot. down
a f ew thou ghts on the kind of girl s
Ilike ," says Johnny Mathis.
Girls He Dislikes ,
"First , let me tell you about the
kind I do not like.
"I do not like the kind of girl
who brashly knocks on my dressing room door, looks me coldly in
the eye and says something to the
effect, 'Hi there, Honey, what are
you doing tonight?'
"I do not like the kind of girl who
looks lik e she's abou t to faint , and
who insists on running up to me to
mau l or kiss me or tear away at
my clothes, or do something similarly nonsensical.
Doesn't Blind Date
"Let me set the record straight :
I will never date a girl upon a firs t
meeting; I avoid meeting girls unless we are introduced by a mutual
friend. In other words, I db not
'blind' date.
"The reason should be obvious:
the easiest way in the world for £t
show business headliner to get into
real hot water is to say 'yes' to
any or every girl who knocks on
his door. I've learned , in short, to
be careful rather than impetuous,
"Now , what about the kind of
girls I like ?
"I suppose it's a cliche to say she
must have intelligence—but, nothing can be so boring as a person
who is empty-headed. I also like
girls who accept me as a fellow
human being rather than as a
showbusiness quote "star " unquote.
I like girls who are "happy," rather than morose; ladylike rather
than pushy ; soft-voiced instead of
loudmouthed. And, there are times
when every girl should stay silent
and let the fellow do the talking.
"Find me such a girl and she'll
be Mrs. Johnny Mathis. "
