Lee, both of Lehigh University,
tied for first and second place in
the annual Pennsylvania Individual College Chess Championship

they will share the Bill Ruth Trophy for the year.
The winners were far ahead going into the fifth and final round
as they had beaten all opponents
except for a draw in their individual encounter. Though Lee lost to
Kenneth Florey, Lafayette College,
in the last round and Stetson was
outplayed by Gary Deets, Bloomsburg .State, they were still able to
tie for the title with 3%-l % scores.
Five players had 3-2 scores but
ties here could be broken by the
Selkeff system in which the scores
of the players opponents in a Swiss
system chess tournament are totaled. Thus, Gary Deets, BSC, took
the third place trophy, Scott Riley,
Lafayette College was 4th, ahead
of Kenneth Florey also of Lafayette. In sixth place was Dean Lenz
who travelled all the way from Edinboro State College in Erie and
seventh was Stephen Wilmore, Lincoln University. Those in fourth to
seven th places received chess books
as prizes. James Sahaida ( Hazleton) and Danny Storaska (Bloomsburg) also represented BSC.
This event is sponsored by the
| Pennsylvania State Chess Federation under its college program
headed by vice-president Kenneth
i Florey. The Pennsylvania College
Team Championship will be held
next April at Penn State. Chess
Master Emeritus William Ruth
was present for the tournament
and awarded the prizes; he donated a chess set and board to the top
player from the Eastern Pennsylvania College Chess League. This
was also shared by Anthony Lee
and Robert Stetson. The tournament was directed by Mordecai
Treblow and Durwood Slusser of
Bloomsburg SC. Spectators were
able to follow the first board contests in the last two rounds on the
wall board monitored by Kathie
Bitterman and William Gering.
The novice debaters entered a tournament at Temple
weekend competing with Temple, Cheyney, Rutgers, Columbia, American
University, and William and Mary College.
The debaters for the affirmative team were Feme Rarig and John
Taylor ; Wally Kahn and Donna Smethers took the negative side. The
teams finished with a total of 4-4.
This is the third year of participation and each year the returns have
been 4-4.
Wins for the negative team were Columbia University "A" team,
Rutgers University and Cheyney State College. The affirmative team
defeated American University. Impressive wins were scored over Columbia University and Rutgers University.
On November 22 and 23 the BSC debaters John Wilcosky, John Nattross, Carol Raynock , and Fays Leiby took part in the Villanova "Switch"
Debate Tournament. This is the first time for the Bloomsburg Debaters

The Golden Curtain Quartet will appear in Carver Auditorium on
January 10 at 8:15 pm. The group is sponsored by the Civic Music Association. The group is comprised of Madeline Stevenson, June Genovese,

Madeline Stevenson made her debut with the Philadelphia Lyric

Highlights of BSC
Christmas Season
Experimental Plays
By Directing Class
A group entitled Experimental
Theatre Productions, operating
under the supervision of Mr. Robert D. Richey of the Speech Department, is now on the campus
of BSC. The group is concentrating on an attempt to Introduce on
our campus the works of the playwrights of the new Avant-garde
Theatre,* sometimes called the
Theatre of the Absurd.
From Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd, we learn that
absurd in this sense means out of
harmony with reason or propriety;
incongruous; unreasonable; illogical. In the Theatre of the Absurd,
man is cut off from his religious,
metaphysical, and transcendental
roots; man is lost and all his actions become sensel ess, obscure,
useless. Playwrights of the Absurd
attempt to express this senselessness of the human condition and
attempt to show the inadequacy of
rational approach.
The students participating in
ETP are members of Mr. RJchey's
play direction class. Albee's The
Sandbox, The Zoo Story, The
American Dream; Ionesco's Rhlnosoero*; Beckett's Waiting; for
Godot; Schisgal's The Typists and
The Tiger are some of the plays
which will be presented on January 13 and 14.
Micaela in "Carmen. " Praise for
her interpretation was unanimous.
Mezzo-soprano June Genovese, '
who hails from the mid-west, a
finalist of the Metropolitan Opera
Auditions, will appear this season
with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Erich
Leinsdorf.
Don Marek, third member of the
quartet is, in spite of his youth, already a veteran of coast-to-coast
concert tours. Featured tenor of
the Karlsrud Chorale, he has assumed similar roles with the Ralph
Sunter chorus, and has made many
New York appearances, both in recital and with the New York City
Opera Company.
Ever since winning the American Opera Auditions in 1958, baritone Gene Boucher has bean in
wide demand as one of the most
talented of the young American
singers. His career has been
marked by concert tours with several of the noted groups in the
cou ntry, two appearances at Carnegie Hall in 1953 and an appearance as baritone soloist in Virgil
Thomson's "The Mother of Us All,"
with the Orchestra of America.
The names of these four young
artists are on the way to being

stardom in his chosen field.
The holiday spirit is rapidly
growing on the BSC cnmpus. It is
immediately evident as Carver
Hall is approached from the bottom of College Hill. It is traditionally decorated with the two trees,
lights and the proud BSC lit from
the base of the dome.
The two dorms display the
Christmas spirit with an abundance of gay decorations. The
whole campus is alive with the excitement and sounds of the season

Sunday, December 15, should
prove to be the highlight of the
Christmas season at BSC. Several
activities have been planned to
help us capt ure the spirit of the
season.
The residents of Waller Hall
and New North Hall have been
busily preparing the dormitories
for the Open House on Sunday afternoon from 3-5 p.m. Bright, festive decorations adorn the doors
and smoker areas. The womens'
town residences will display their
handiwork from 2-3:30, allowing
them an opportunity to visit the
campus dormitories and participate in the activity.
Also, between the hours of 3-5
p.m., the Community Government
Association will sponsor the Annual Christmas Tea in the College
Commons. The CGA would like to
stress that all faculty and students
are invited. It is hoped that day ,
students as well as men and women residents will j oin us in this
holiday activity.
Later that evening the Husky
Lounge will be the scene of the
Waller Hall Association Christmas
Dorm Party. Fun and entertaJpment will be provided by the women residents. Plenty of food will
be on hand for that welcome midnight snack. Gifts for the children
of one of the town families will be
presented at that time.
Preparation for these activities
have been under the guidance of
Dean Ellamae Jackson and Dean
Elton Hunsinger. Assisting them
were Mrs. Althea Hoke, Miss Mary
Macdonald, and Dr. Ralph Herre.
Marilyn Sheerer, president of the
Waller Hall Association acted as
chairman of a committee composed
of the presidents of the associations involved in the preparation
of these activities.

Dr. Martin A. Satz, Professor
of Psychology, is now completing
three years as psychological consultant at the School of Hope,
Williamsport.
The School of Hope, begun by
citizens aware of the need to serve
children who are moderately or
severely retarded, has an enrollment of 55 pupils from two to
forty-four years of age.
The principal service rendered
by Dr. Satz is that of testing children to determine their capabilities,
discussing teaching approaches for
individual pupils, and counselling
with parents. The latter has proved
particularly significant in view of
the feelings and frustration frequently experienced by parents of
the mentally retarded children,
particularly those who have brain
damage.

Dr* Eric Walker
January Speaker
Dr. Eric Walker, President of
Pennsylvania State University will
be the featured speaker at Commencement, January 21.
Well known in the fields of administration and engineering, Dr.
Walker is a native of England. He
earned his BS, MS and SCD degrees from Harvard University.
His positions include head of
the Electrical Engineering Department at Tufts College followed by
a similar position at Penn State,
serving simultaneously as Director
of The Ordnance Research Lab.
He became Dean of the School of
Electrical Engineering in 1951 and
Vice President in 1955. He is currently serving as president.
The administration has announced a new procedure for
payment of fees and registration. In this procedure the student will receive a special card
sometime between Christmas
and New Year's Day which will
have the specific instructions
for filling it out. With this procedure the student will thus tell
the Business Office what fees he
is going to pay; in this way it is
hoped to avoid conflicts that
have previously occurred.
The student must return this
card to the Business Office on
or before noon of January 18,
1964 in order to be eligible to
register on Monday, January 27
between the hours of 8:30 am
and 4:30 pm.
Cherry Orchard
Plans Under Way
The Bloomsburg Players have
begun work for their forth-coming
production, Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekov. Tryouts were held
Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
Modern Classic
The Cherry Orchard is a modern
classic portraying Russian land
owners who are unable to face the
changing times. The conflict arises
in a dispute over the famous cherry orchards. The aristocracy finally loses out and their land is divided into many estates.
The orchards themselves signify
the aristocracy, for both were very
rare in Russia. The particular orchard in the play was of considerable size and of great renown. The
changing way of life and the
emergence of a new Russia is
brought out by the destruction of
the orchards at the end of the play.
Laugh or Cry
Chekov tells us that we must
either laugh or cry with these
pe ople ,
The production will be presented
February 13-14 under the direction
of Dr. Homrighous. Mr. McHale
will supervise the business aspects
of the show with Mr. Richey as
technical director.

two occasions last week, emerging

The diffi culty of Coach Norton's

Huskies Defeat Cheyney
Last Thursday the Huskies traveled to Cheyney to do battle with
a much improved Wolverine team.
Defense was the key to the ball
game with neither team managing
more than a three point edge until
the fin al seconds. Bob Herzig and
Ed Be ck , both Philadelphia junior s, kept control of the backboards but the Huskies high gear
offense couldn't get moving.
A driving layup by Bob Herzig

The Huskies didn't take the lead
until the final seconds of play when
Ed Beck sunk a field goal and a

The contest was all Shippensburg in the first half with the

the ball from Shippensburg possession, and Herzig vaulted high

BOTTOM COLLEGE HILL
by Fred Saxton
After a slow, sluggish start, the
BSC dribblers came on "strong" to
defeat a stubborn Shippensburg
fiv e " last Saturday night. To say
the least , the Huskies were "cold"
— they just couldn't get going.
Shots wouldn't go in , passes went
astray, rebounding was way below
par, and, with twelve minutes left
in the contest, the proteges of
coach Robert Norton found themselves on the short end of the score,
trailing by 13 counters.
There were many in the stands
who had given up hope and claimed
the Huskies were suffering defeat
number one. One fan remarked :
"It 's gonna be a long season!" The
crowd was feeling mighty low.

Many surprised and happy fans
filed out of Centennial Gym after
the contest — and they weren't
from Shippensburg. To the surprise and delight of many, the BSC
cagers had come through. Late in
the contest, they came to life and
escaped with a 59-58 win.
Their performance was way below par ; even when they overcame
the Red Raiders, t heir play w as
not exceptionally fine. However,
they did a commendable job ; it
was a great effort on their part.
They didn't give up, despit e the

Huskies and Coach Norton for victory number three of the young

Christmas Season
Experimental Plays
By Directing Class
A group entitled Experimental
Theatre Productions, operating
under the supervision of Mr. Robert D. Richey of the Speech Department, is now on the campus
of BSC. The group is concentrating on an attempt to Introduce on
our campus the works of the playwrights of the new Avant-garde
Theatre,* sometimes called the
Theatre of the Absurd.
From Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the Absurd, we learn that
absurd in this sense means out of
harmony with reason or propriety;
incongruous; unreasonable; illogical. In the Theatre of the Absurd,
man is cut off from his religious,
metaphysical, and transcendental
roots; man is lost and all his actions become sensel ess, obscure,
useless. Playwrights of the Absurd
attempt to express this senselessness of the human condition and
attempt to show the inadequacy of
rational approach.
The students participating in
ETP are members of Mr. RJchey's
play direction class. Albee's The
Sandbox, The Zoo Story, The
American Dream; Ionesco's Rhlnosoero*; Beckett's Waiting; for
Godot; Schisgal's The Typists and
The Tiger are some of the plays
which will be presented on January 13 and 14.
Micaela in "Carmen. " Praise for
her interpretation was unanimous.
Mezzo-soprano June Genovese, '
who hails from the mid-west, a
finalist of the Metropolitan Opera
Auditions, will appear this season
with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Erich
Leinsdorf.
Don Marek, third member of the
quartet is, in spite of his youth, already a veteran of coast-to-coast
concert tours. Featured tenor of
the Karlsrud Chorale, he has assumed similar roles with the Ralph
Sunter chorus, and has made many
New York appearances, both in recital and with the New York City
Opera Company.
Ever since winning the American Opera Auditions in 1958, baritone Gene Boucher has bean in
wide demand as one of the most
talented of the young American
singers. His career has been
marked by concert tours with several of the noted groups in the
cou ntry, two appearances at Carnegie Hall in 1953 and an appearance as baritone soloist in Virgil
Thomson's "The Mother of Us All,"
with the Orchestra of America.
The names of these four young
artists are on the way to being

activities have been planned to
help us capt ure the spirit of the
season.
The residents of Waller Hall
and New North Hall have been
busily preparing the dormitories
for the Open House on Sunday afternoon from 3-5 p.m. Bright, festive decorations adorn the doors
and smoker areas. The womens'
town residences will display their
handiwork from 2-3:30, allowing
them an opportunity to visit the
campus dormitories and participate in the activity.
Also, between the hours of 3-5
p.m., the Community Government
Association will sponsor the Annual Christmas Tea in the College
Commons. The CGA would like to
stress that all faculty and students
are invited. It is hoped that day ,
students as well as men and women residents will j oin us in this
holiday activity.
Later that evening the Husky
Lounge will be the scene of the
Waller Hall Association Christmas
Dorm Party. Fun and entertaJpment will be provided by the women residents. Plenty of food will
be on hand for that welcome midnight snack. Gifts for the children
of one of the town families will be
presented at that time.
Preparation for these activities
have been under the guidance of
Dean Ellamae Jackson and Dean
Elton Hunsinger. Assisting them
were Mrs. Althea Hoke, Miss Mary

Marilyn Sheerer, president of the

of these activities.

Dr. Martin A. Satz, Professor
of Psychology, is now completing
three years as psychological consultant at the School of Hope,
Williamsport.
The School of Hope, begun by
citizens aware of the need to serve
children who are moderately or
severely retarded, has an enrollment of 55 pupils from two to
forty-four years of age.
The principal service rendered
by Dr. Satz is that of testing children to determine their capabilities,
discussing teaching approaches for
individual pupils, and counselling
with parents. The latter has proved
particularly significant in view of
the feelings and frustration frequently experienced by parents of
the mentally retarded children,
particularly those who have brain
damage.

Dr* Eric Walker
January Speaker
Dr. Eric Walker, President of
Pennsylvania State University will
be the featured speaker at Commencement, January 21.
Well known in the fields of administration and engineering, Dr.
Walker is a native of England. He
earned his BS, MS and SCD degrees from Harvard University.
His positions include head of
the Electrical Engineering Department at Tufts College followed by
a similar position at Penn State,
serving simultaneously as Director
of The Ordnance Research Lab.
He became Dean of the School of
Electrical Engineering in 1951 and
Vice President in 1955. He is currently serving as president.
The administration has announced a new procedure for
payment of fees and registration. In this procedure the student will receive a special card
sometime between Christmas
and New Year's Day which will
have the specific instructions
for filling it out. With this procedure the student will thus tell
the Business Office what fees he
is going to pay; in this way it is
hoped to avoid conflicts that
have previously occurred.
The student must return this
card to the Business Office on
or before noon of January 18,
1964 in order to be eligible to
register on Monday, January 27
between the hours of 8:30 am
and 4:30 pm.
Cherry Orchard
Plans Under Way
The Bloomsburg Players have
begun work for their forth-coming
production, Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekov. Tryouts were held
Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
Modern Classic
The Cherry Orchard is a modern
classic portraying Russian land
owners who are unable to face the
changing times. The conflict arises
in a dispute over the famous cherry orchards. The aristocracy finally loses out and their land is divided into many estates.
The orchards themselves signify
the aristocracy, for both were very
rare in Russia. The particular orchard in the play was of considerable size and of great renown. The
changing way of life and the
emergence of a new Russia is
brought out by the destruction of
the orchards at the end of the play.
Laugh or Cry
Chekov tells us that we must
either laugh or cry with these
pe ople ,
The production will be presented
February 13-14 under the direction
of Dr. Homrighous. Mr. McHale
will supervise the business aspects
of the show with Mr. Richey as
technical director.

The Bloomsburg Husky cagers
played hair-raising basketball on
two occasions last week, emerging
victorious at the final buzzer both
times; they downed Cheyney 38-34
and nipped Shippensburg 59-58.
The diffi culty of Coach Norton's
charges to solve the dilemna of
their opponents zone defense cut
down the Huskies' sharp shooting
off ense and accounted for much of
the problem.
Huskies Defeat Cheyney
Last Thursday the Huskies traveled to Cheyney to do battle with
a much improved Wolverine team.
Defense was the key to the ball
game with neither team managing
more than a three point edge until
the fin al seconds. Bob Herzig and
Ed Be ck , both Philadelphia junior s, kept control of the backboards but the Huskies high gear
offense couldn't get moving.
A driving layup by Bob Herzig
with 12 seconds lef t gave the Huskies a four point victory in the low
scoring event. Bob Blue, Mahanoy
City junior, was the pace-setter
with 11 points.

The Huskies didn't take the lead
until the final seconds of play when
Ed Beck sunk a field goal and a
foul to give th<? Huskies a 57-54
edge after a two pointer by Herzig tied the game.
The contest was all Shippensburg in the first half with the
Huskies hitting only 9 of 34 from
the floor and zero for 5 from the
free throw line. Control of the defensive backboards kept the deficit
down to 6 points at the half.

continued the attack in the second half and coined
a 13 point bulge with 11 minutes
remaining. Then the Huskies made
their move. A full court press
rattled the Raiders with Jim McKinley and Bob Farina leading the
Huskies; they continually removed
the ball from Shippensburg possession, and Herzig vaulted high
to steal rebounds. Ed Beck hit 5
field goals in 6 tries to lead the
late rally. Bob Blue sunk the last
basket attempt to give the Huskies
their narrow margin of victory.

BOTTOM COLLEGE HILL
by Fred Saxton
After a slow, sluggish start, the
BSC dribblers came on "strong" to
defeat a stubborn Shippensburg
fiv e " last Saturday night. To say
the least , the Huskies were "cold"
— they just couldn't get going.
Shots wouldn't go in , passes went
astray, rebounding was way below
par, and, with twelve minutes left
in the contest, the proteges of
coach Robert Norton found themselves on the short end of the score,
trailing by 13 counters.
There were many in the stands
who had given up hope and claimed
the Huskies were suffering defeat
number one. One fan remarked :
"It 's gonna be a long season!" The
crowd was feeling mighty low.
m
m
m
Many surprised and happy fans
filed out of Centennial Gym after
the contest — and they weren't
from Shippensburg. To the surprise and delight of many, the BSC
cagers had come through. Late in
the contest, they came to life and
escaped with a 59-58 win.
Their performance was way below par ; even when they overcame
the Red Raiders, t heir play w as
not exceptionally fine. However,
they did a commendable job ; it
was a great effort on their part.
They didn't give up, despit e the
"off-night"! Congratulations to the
Huskies and Coach Norton for victory number three of the young
campaign.

did some research to find j ust exactly where Spearfish is in South
Dakota. Our finding — it's just
north of Deadwood!

This year 's Husky cagers have
opened the '63 season with three
straight wins. The BSTC dribblers
of a decade ago weren't as fortunate.
The '53 Huskies dropped the
opener to Scranton U., dumped
Lock Haven , and were snowed under by the Golden Avalanche of
Kutztown State in their first three
outings.
