the institution which bears the
name of Bloomsburg State College
have three members of a family
served on the Board of Trustees.
The recent passing of Mrs. Elsie
Yorks Jones, who was a member of
- the Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College from 1947 to
1959, brings to the minds of those
interested in the history of the
Normal School and the Literary Institute that her father , F. G. Yorks,
was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Normal School,
and her brother, Milton K. Yorks,
was a member of the Board of
Trustees from 1940 to 1947.
Board Passes Resolution
The Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College, at a recent
meeting, passed the following Resolution relative to the service of
the members of the Yorks family
as Trustees:
WHEREAS, the f ather and brother
of the late Mrs.Elsie YorksJones
served as Trustees of this institution, and
WHEREAS , Mrs. Jones was a
member of the Board of Trustees
f rom 1942 t o 1957, during which
period she was in regular attendance at all meetings, and
gave of her advice and counsel
to the administration, and
WHEREAS , during the period of
the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College continuing to educate
teachers during the period of
World War II, along with a series of programs which trained
Aviators, Nurses, and Naval Officers to aid in the winning of
this war,
BE IT RESOLVED that such a
spirit of sacrifice of time and attention on the part of Mrs. Elsie
Yorks Jones shall not go unnoticed, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that copies of this resolution appear in copies of college publications, and also shall be sent to
her surviving relatives.
No matter what your age, the
years have got you down when it
takes you longer to rest up than it
did to get tired.
Much Tampering
Seen On Boards
'measure of acclaim as a soloist ,
Earl Wrightson aad Lois Hunt presented their evening of music from
the theatre and operetta at BSC
on Wednesday, April 8, at 8 pm
in Carver Auditorium. This ' was
the annual Endowed Artist and
Lecture Fund program of BSC.
Both veterans of Broadway and
national tours (Miss Hunt most
recently in the Rodgers and Hammerstein smash, "Sound of M u sic,"
and Mr. Wrightson in such hits as
"New Moon"— whose recent revival had him in the starring role),
they have also scored resoundings
successes in stock and on tour.
Notable Recordings
Perhaps best known via their
notable Columbia recordings, Mr.
Wrightson and Miss Hunt have
scored sensationally in the LP
fi eld , their albums such as "A
Night With Sigmund Romberg,"
"A Night With Jerome Kern " and
the new "Kiss Me Kate" recording, selling in the hundreds of
thousands.
Their program offered outstanding interpretations, of music from
the theatre, opere tta, and Tin Pan
Alley.
Honors Bestowed
Former* Professor
Samuel L Wilson, seventy-four,
retired professor in the English
Depart m ent of BSC, died April 1.
He had retired nineteen years ago
because of ill health.
Professor Wilson was honored
by the Class of 1931 during the
Alumni Day festivities at BSC last
May, at which time a portrait was
presented to the college by many
faculty and faculty emeriti.
One of Greatest Teachers
In the acceptance on behalf of
BSC, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President , spoke of Professor Wilson
as "one of the greatest teachers I
have ever known" and said the
portrait was presented by former
students and colleagues as an expression of love for him as a man,
respect for him as a teacher, and
regard for him as a friend.
Happiest Years at BSO
In his response, the popular educator said "twenty-eight of the
happiest years of my life were
spent as a member of the faculty
of this institution. "
He said in that period he had
not had one unpleasant experience
with a faculty colleague or student and said, "It is a wonderful
feeling now that I realize I will
be looking down on incoming and
outgoing classes and will view the
progress of the institution."

Liberal Arts Educ ation Important
In Developing Scientific Creativit y
Tht flowing « the f irst of a stria of articles on liberal education . The
author is John Gaoodzinski, a Bloomsburg State College freshman.
Let me first be clear about the meaning of the liberal arts and liberal
education. "Hie liberal arts are traditionally intended to develop the
faculties of the human mind, those powers of intelligence and imagination without which no intellectual work can be accomplished. Liberal
education is not tied to certain academic subj ects, such as philosophy,
history, literature, music, art , and other so-called "humanities." In the
liberal-arts tradition, scientific disciplines, such as mathematics and
physics, are considered equally liberal, th at is, equally able to develop
the powers of the mind.

Co-ecFs Interests
by Jennif er Smith
Skydiving and painting — these
are two of the interests in which
Mary Lou Buck, a senior co-ed
from Danville, ha s displ ayed, ability and talent. Mary Lou has successfully combined these two diverse interests with her work at
BSC, where she is maj oring in
Special Education.
Paints As Hobby
M ary Lou, a fino artist , states
that she paints only to express
h erself , in the same way that
other people write or compose
music. She considers the development of technique important , but
concentrates more on the subj ective elements of the painting. The
technique which Mary Lou most
admires is that of the great French
impressionist, Degas. Currently,
her work is on exhibit in the offi ce building of Smith and Hess,
architectural engineers, in Westport, Connecticut.
Medieval Origin
The liberal-arts tradition goes back to the medieval curriculum. It
consisted of two parts. The first part, the trivium, was comprised of
grammar, rh eto r ic, and logic. It taught the arts of reading, writing,
listening and speaking, and of sound thinking. The other part, the quadrivium, consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music (not
audible music, but music conceived as a mathematical science). It taught
the arts of observation, calculation , and measurements—how to comprehend the quantitative aspect of things. Nowadays, of course, we would
add many more sciences, natural and social. This is just what has been
done in various modern attempts to renew liberal education.
Liberal Education Essential
Liberal educa tion , including all the traditional arts as well as the
newer sciences, is essential for the development of top flight scientists.
Without it, we can train only technicians, who cannot understand the
basic principles behind the motions they perform. We can hardly e"kpect
such skilled automatons to make new discoveries of any importance. A
crash program of merely technical training would probably end in a
"crash-up " for basic science.
Scientific Creativity
The conviction of liberal education with scientific creativity is not a
mere speculation. It is a matter of historical fact that the great German
scientists of the 19th century had a solid background in the liberal arts.
They all went through a liberal education which embraced Greek, i^atin,
logic, philosophy, and history, in addition to mathematics, phy sics, and
other sciences. Actually, this has been the educational preparation of
European scientists down to the present time. Einstein , Bohr, Fermi , and
other great modern scientists were developed not by technical schooling,
but by liberal education.
Russian System
Despite all of the rantings and hullabaloo since Sputnik I was propelled into the skies, this has been broadly true of Russian scientists too.
If you will ju st note the birth dates of the men who have done the basic
work in Sonet science, it will be apparent that they could not have reMary Lou Buck

Lackawanna County Lends Machines
On the recent C.G.A. election, the BSC community had the opportunity of participating in a realistic voting situation. This was made
possible by Lackawanna County's generous gesture of lending us four
regu lation voting machines. BSC students thus had the chance to vote
for Community Government officers in the same manner in which they
will some day vote for local, state, and national officials.

Letters T6
The Editor /
(Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's opinion
and do no t necessar ily reflect th e views
of the newspape r.)
Dear Edi tor:
In the past , other letters have
appeared in the MAROON AND
GOLD concerning assembly con^
duct. The various complaints have
ranged from talking, to let t er
writing and knitting. A stricter
program concerning this program
has been initiated by.the assembly
committee.
Big Brother's Watching You!
Students beware ! Numerous
pairs of eyes are constantly scrutinizing the student body, watching for some kind of movement
which can be called poor assembly
conduct. If no subversive actions
are observed, they seem to appear
as mirages do—out of thin air. On
M ar ch 10, several of these mirages
occurred, and it was a cool rainy
day, too. From this day forth , students will have to behave perfectly, like little wooden soldiers if
they wish to gain credit for assembly attendance.
Double Cut
At the above mentioned assembly , several people unjustly lost
their assembly cards. Remember
fellow students, this constitutes a
double assembly cut. Discipline
may be needed in our assemblies,
but why does the innocent bystander have to pay the penalty
inflicted by an enraged assembly
committee ?

Mr. William Decker, a newcomer
to the Bloomsburg State College
music faculty, will take a prominent part in the coming Spring Arts
Festival, April 26 to May 3. Besides making arrangements for
the appearance of the well-known
Curtis String Quartet, he is composing incidental music for the
Players' Shakespearian production.
He is also in charge of the choral
program for Sunday, May 3, which
will feature the Choraleers, the
Madrigal Singers, and the Men's
Glee Club.
fine music ittacK gruuna.
Mr. Decker has a background in
music which speaks for his role
in the Festival. A native of New
Kensington, P enna ., he received
his degrees at the Eastman School
of M u sic, Rochester, New York.
Before j oining the BSC faculty, he
taught two years in the public
schools of Rochester and four
years at Wharton Junior College,
Texas. At the latter school, he tells
us the credit course in choir made
excellent voice groups constantly
available. Mr. Decker has been directing choral groups for six years.
To Direct Choral Program
Mr. Decker's musical role in The
Taming Of The Shrew, April 28th
and 29t h , consists of working with
Mr. McHale and the Bloomsburg
Players "to add to the drama and
achieve an original interpretation
of the play." Later in the week,
he will direct a choral program of
sacred music. This two-part program will feature Bach, Brahms,
and other great composers in one
phase and Negro spirituals in the
other. Of the entire Festival, Mr.
Decker says, "It is an excellent
idea . I hope the students will take
advantage of the opportunities
available to them ."

words never asks for seconds."

At Convention
Mr. Robert Solenberger of the
BSC social studies department recently attended a convention of
the Society for International Development in Washington,D.C. The
key speaker of the program was
Mr. Paul Hoffman of the United
Nations Technical Assistance Program,
An anthropologist, Mr. Scienr
berger believes that anthropology
has an important relationship to
foreign aid and technical assistance. In fact, one of the main ideas
brought out during the convention
was the point of view that one of
the best types of aid we can give
underdeveloped peoples is helping
these countries to help themselves.
Anthropologists should work in
conjunction with technicians in
encouraging people of emergent
nations to learn to utilize their
own environment and resources
more efficiently.
The Annual Fashion Show will
not be held this Spring. One of the
main reasons for the cancellation
is that the number of participating merchants has dropped off , because of the closing of two Bloomsburg stores.

Bill Robb,Dick Scorese,and John
Owen carried the BSC wrestling
laurels to a new high in the 1964
NCAA championships at Cornell.
These three Huskies gained 14
points for a 14th place tie with
Syracuse and Cornell as they competed in what has been termed -the
finest field of wrestlers ever assembled for this event.
Robb, finishing in 4th place, took
the highest position ever achieved
by a Husky. Bill turned in three
days of brilliant wrestling and
captured 4th place in the tourney 's 130 pound class gaining 8
team points. Displaying the finest
performance of his wrestling career, Robb met and defeated many
of the best wrestlers in his weight
class. Bill lost the third place
crown and a chance to represent
the NCAA in the Olympic tryouts
when Mark Piven of Penn State
scored a 3-0 triumph.
Dick Scorese was sixth in the
137 pound class having to stop in
the last period of his Saturday

The BSC Golf team is beginning
to shape up for the coming season
which will start at East Stroudsburg, today. Starting time will be
one o'clock. The men are already
showing a great deal of determination for they started their qualifying rounds during some of our
cold spring weather. They played
in snow, rain, and mud just to
make a place on the team.
The first five men have been
chosen and they are: (1) Bill
Bloom, (Soph.) and letterman of
last year, (2) John Kivasnaoski
(Fr.) , (3) Philip Haile (Jr.) , (4)
George MiUer (Jr.) two year letterman and this year's captain,
(5) Ray Hebert (Jr.). The sixth,
seventh, and eighth men haven't
been chosen yet. The four contenders for these three positions

Last Sat urd ay aft ernoon, the
Husky track team opened its season by walloping Kutztown State

form for th e first meet and should

like to list some of the conditions
which teams have to cope with
\vhen they run our diminishing obstacle course. First, we have the
only 100-yard dash in which the
last ten yards are up hill. Distance
runners have to watch for flying
j avelins in between the frequent
turns on our pint-size track. Second, shot-put participants have \ to
throw in between trees. Last year,
Gary Edwards had one of his best
shots ruined by a branch. Third,
high j umpers have to cope with
swamp conditions which make it
hard to get off the ground and
pole-vaulters have to watch for
holes in the runway.
These are just some of the
tougher conditions which trackmen face when they run at BSC.
What should be done ? Maybe we
could run up the middle of the

I think it would be a lot safer.

name of Bloomsburg State College
have three members of a family
served on the Board of Trustees.
The recent passing of Mrs. Elsie
Yorks Jones, who was a member of
- the Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College from 1947 to
1959, brings to the minds of those
interested in the history of the
Normal School and the Literary Institute that her father , F. G. Yorks,
was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Normal School,
and her brother, Milton K. Yorks,
was a member of the Board of
Trustees from 1940 to 1947.
Board Passes Resolution
The Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College, at a recent
meeting, passed the following Resolution relative to the service of
the members of the Yorks family
as Trustees:
WHEREAS, the f ather and brother
of the late Mrs.Elsie YorksJones
served as Trustees of this institution, and
WHEREAS , Mrs. Jones was a
member of the Board of Trustees
f rom 1942 t o 1957, during which
period she was in regular attendance at all meetings, and
gave of her advice and counsel
to the administration, and
WHEREAS , during the period of
the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College continuing to educate
teachers during the period of
World War II, along with a series of programs which trained
Aviators, Nurses, and Naval Officers to aid in the winning of
this war,
BE IT RESOLVED that such a
spirit of sacrifice of time and attention on the part of Mrs. Elsie
Yorks Jones shall not go unnoticed, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that copies of this resolution appear in copies of college publications, and also shall be sent to
her surviving relatives.
No matter what your age, the
years have got you down when it
takes you longer to rest up than it
did to get tired.
Much Tampering
Seen On Boards
'measure of acclaim as a soloist ,
Earl Wrightson aad Lois Hunt presented their evening of music from
the theatre and operetta at BSC
on Wednesday, April 8, at 8 pm
in Carver Auditorium. This ' was
the annual Endowed Artist and
Lecture Fund program of BSC.
Both veterans of Broadway and
national tours (Miss Hunt most
recently in the Rodgers and Hammerstein smash, "Sound of M u sic,"
and Mr. Wrightson in such hits as
"New Moon"— whose recent revival had him in the starring role),
they have also scored resoundings
successes in stock and on tour.
Notable Recordings
Perhaps best known via their
notable Columbia recordings, Mr.
Wrightson and Miss Hunt have
scored sensationally in the LP
fi eld , their albums such as "A
Night With Sigmund Romberg,"
"A Night With Jerome Kern " and
the new "Kiss Me Kate" recording, selling in the hundreds of
thousands.
Their program offered outstanding interpretations, of music from
the theatre, opere tta, and Tin Pan
Alley.
Honors Bestowed
Former* Professor
Samuel L Wilson, seventy-four,
retired professor in the English
Depart m ent of BSC, died April 1.
He had retired nineteen years ago
because of ill health.
Professor Wilson was honored
by the Class of 1931 during the
Alumni Day festivities at BSC last
May, at which time a portrait was
presented to the college by many
faculty and faculty emeriti.
One of Greatest Teachers
In the acceptance on behalf of
BSC, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President , spoke of Professor Wilson
as "one of the greatest teachers I
have ever known" and said the
portrait was presented by former
students and colleagues as an expression of love for him as a man,
respect for him as a teacher, and
regard for him as a friend.
Happiest Years at BSO
In his response, the popular educator said "twenty-eight of the
happiest years of my life were
spent as a member of the faculty
of this institution. "
He said in that period he had
not had one unpleasant experience
with a faculty colleague or student and said, "It is a wonderful
feeling now that I realize I will
be looking down on incoming and
outgoing classes and will view the
progress of the institution."

Liberal Arts Educ ation Important
In Developing Scientific Creativit y
Tht flowing « the f irst of a stria of articles on liberal education . The
author is John Gaoodzinski, a Bloomsburg State College freshman.
Let me first be clear about the meaning of the liberal arts and liberal
education. "Hie liberal arts are traditionally intended to develop the
faculties of the human mind, those powers of intelligence and imagination without which no intellectual work can be accomplished. Liberal
education is not tied to certain academic subj ects, such as philosophy,
history, literature, music, art , and other so-called "humanities." In the
liberal-arts tradition, scientific disciplines, such as mathematics and
physics, are considered equally liberal, th at is, equally able to develop
the powers of the mind.

Co-ecFs Interests
by Jennif er Smith
Skydiving and painting — these
are two of the interests in which
Mary Lou Buck, a senior co-ed
from Danville, ha s displ ayed, ability and talent. Mary Lou has successfully combined these two diverse interests with her work at
BSC, where she is maj oring in
Special Education.
Paints As Hobby
M ary Lou, a fino artist , states
that she paints only to express
h erself , in the same way that
other people write or compose
music. She considers the development of technique important , but
concentrates more on the subj ective elements of the painting. The
technique which Mary Lou most
admires is that of the great French
impressionist, Degas. Currently,
her work is on exhibit in the offi ce building of Smith and Hess,
architectural engineers, in Westport, Connecticut.
Medieval Origin
The liberal-arts tradition goes back to the medieval curriculum. It
consisted of two parts. The first part, the trivium, was comprised of
grammar, rh eto r ic, and logic. It taught the arts of reading, writing,
listening and speaking, and of sound thinking. The other part, the quadrivium, consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music (not
audible music, but music conceived as a mathematical science). It taught
the arts of observation, calculation , and measurements—how to comprehend the quantitative aspect of things. Nowadays, of course, we would
add many more sciences, natural and social. This is just what has been
done in various modern attempts to renew liberal education.
Liberal Education Essential
Liberal educa tion , including all the traditional arts as well as the
newer sciences, is essential for the development of top flight scientists.
Without it, we can train only technicians, who cannot understand the
basic principles behind the motions they perform. We can hardly e"kpect
such skilled automatons to make new discoveries of any importance. A
crash program of merely technical training would probably end in a
"crash-up " for basic science.
Scientific Creativity
The conviction of liberal education with scientific creativity is not a
mere speculation. It is a matter of historical fact that the great German
scientists of the 19th century had a solid background in the liberal arts.
They all went through a liberal education which embraced Greek, i^atin,
logic, philosophy, and history, in addition to mathematics, phy sics, and
other sciences. Actually, this has been the educational preparation of
European scientists down to the present time. Einstein , Bohr, Fermi , and
other great modern scientists were developed not by technical schooling,
but by liberal education.
Russian System
Despite all of the rantings and hullabaloo since Sputnik I was propelled into the skies, this has been broadly true of Russian scientists too.
If you will ju st note the birth dates of the men who have done the basic
work in Sonet science, it will be apparent that they could not have reMary Lou Buck

Lackawanna County Lends Machines
On the recent C.G.A. election, the BSC community had the opportunity of participating in a realistic voting situation. This was made
possible by Lackawanna County's generous gesture of lending us four
regu lation voting machines. BSC students thus had the chance to vote
for Community Government officers in the same manner in which they
will some day vote for local, state, and national officials.

Letters T6
The Editor /
(Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's opinion
and do no t necessar ily reflect th e views
of the newspape r.)
Dear Edi tor:
In the past , other letters have
appeared in the MAROON AND
GOLD concerning assembly con^
duct. The various complaints have
ranged from talking, to let t er
writing and knitting. A stricter
program concerning this program
has been initiated by.the assembly
committee.
Big Brother's Watching You!
Students beware ! Numerous
pairs of eyes are constantly scrutinizing the student body, watching for some kind of movement
which can be called poor assembly
conduct. If no subversive actions
are observed, they seem to appear
as mirages do—out of thin air. On
M ar ch 10, several of these mirages
occurred, and it was a cool rainy
day, too. From this day forth , students will have to behave perfectly, like little wooden soldiers if
they wish to gain credit for assembly attendance.
Double Cut
At the above mentioned assembly , several people unjustly lost
their assembly cards. Remember
fellow students, this constitutes a
double assembly cut. Discipline
may be needed in our assemblies,
but why does the innocent bystander have to pay the penalty
inflicted by an enraged assembly
committee ?

Mr. William Decker, a newcomer
to the Bloomsburg State College
music faculty, will take a prominent part in the coming Spring Arts
Festival, April 26 to May 3. Besides making arrangements for
the appearance of the well-known
Curtis String Quartet, he is composing incidental music for the
Players' Shakespearian production.
He is also in charge of the choral
program for Sunday, May 3, which
will feature the Choraleers, the
Madrigal Singers, and the Men's
Glee Club.
fine music ittacK gruuna.
Mr. Decker has a background in
music which speaks for his role
in the Festival. A native of New
Kensington, P enna ., he received
his degrees at the Eastman School
of M u sic, Rochester, New York.
Before j oining the BSC faculty, he
taught two years in the public
schools of Rochester and four
years at Wharton Junior College,
Texas. At the latter school, he tells
us the credit course in choir made
excellent voice groups constantly
available. Mr. Decker has been directing choral groups for six years.
To Direct Choral Program
Mr. Decker's musical role in The
Taming Of The Shrew, April 28th
and 29t h , consists of working with
Mr. McHale and the Bloomsburg
Players "to add to the drama and
achieve an original interpretation
of the play." Later in the week,
he will direct a choral program of
sacred music. This two-part program will feature Bach, Brahms,
and other great composers in one
phase and Negro spirituals in the
other. Of the entire Festival, Mr.
Decker says, "It is an excellent
idea . I hope the students will take
advantage of the opportunities
available to them ."

words never asks for seconds."

Bill Robb,Dick Scorese,and John
Owen carried the BSC wrestling
laurels to a new high in the 1964
NCAA championships at Cornell.
These three Huskies gained 14
points for a 14th place tie with
Syracuse and Cornell as they competed in what has been termed -the
finest field of wrestlers ever assembled for this event.
Robb, finishing in 4th place, took
the highest position ever achieved
by a Husky. Bill turned in three
days of brilliant wrestling and
captured 4th place in the tourney 's 130 pound class gaining 8
team points. Displaying the finest
performance of his wrestling career, Robb met and defeated many
of the best wrestlers in his weight
class. Bill lost the third place
crown and a chance to represent
the NCAA in the Olympic tryouts
when Mark Piven of Penn State
scored a 3-0 triumph.
Dick Scorese was sixth in the
137 pound class having to stop in
the last period of his Saturday
afternoon match with the score
tied at 4-4 when he suffered a neck

The BSC Golf team is beginning
to shape up for the coming season
which will start at East Stroudsburg, today. Starting time will be
one o'clock. The men are already
showing a great deal of determination for they started their qualifying rounds during some of our
cold spring weather. They played
in snow, rain, and mud just to
make a place on the team.
The first five men have been
chosen and they are: (1) Bill
Bloom, (Soph.) and letterman of
last year, (2) John Kivasnaoski
(Fr.) , (3) Philip Haile (Jr.) , (4)
George MiUer (Jr.) two year letterman and this year's captain,
(5) Ray Hebert (Jr.). The sixth,
seventh, and eighth men haven't
been chosen yet. The four contenders for these three positions

suffering his inj ury.
John Owen, a senior from East
Smithfield, Pa., also added two
points in the 157 pound division
before he was eliminated.

. . . SIDELINES
by John Murtin
Last Sat urd ay aft ernoon, the
Husky track team opened its season by walloping Kutztown State
College 105-35. Lettermen Gary
Edwards, Jan Prosseda, Joe Fazzari , and Jim Young were in good
form for th e first meet and should
improve even more as the season
progresses.
One more thing while we'r e on
the subj ect of track. I would j ust
like to list some of the conditions
which teams have to cope with
\vhen they run our diminishing obstacle course. First, we have the
only 100-yard dash in which the
last ten yards are up hill. Distance
runners have to watch for flying
j avelins in between the frequent
turns on our pint-size track. Second, shot-put participants have \ to
throw in between trees. Last year,
Gary Edwards had one of his best
shots ruined by a branch. Third,
high j umpers have to cope with
swamp conditions which make it
hard to get off the ground and
pole-vaulters have to watch for
holes in the runway.
These are just some of the
tougher conditions which trackmen face when they run at BSC.
What should be done ? Maybe we
could run up the middle of the
street downtown in between cars.
I think it would be a lot safer.
are, Jim McKinley (Sr.) , Rick
Heller ( Soph.) , Alex DubU (Fr. ) ,
and Lin Barlik. These four men
will qualify sometime before the
