Voting Releases
Sanctioned By
College For Tues.
With an estimate by nationally
known opinion polls that more people
than ever before will be taking part
in the national elections tomorrow
the Pennsylvania State College has
issued a statment that students' of
eligible age and who are registered
may be excused to vote.
The high enrollment of veteran
students who are of the age to cast
a ballot has made this •move neces
sary. It has been pointed out, how
ever, that this accommodation on the
part of the administration is not to
be used as a "loop-hole" to get free
from classes.
Teachers have been notified to
pass this word on to their students
in the various classes. It is not be
lieved, however, that too many Ha
zleton Undergraduate Center stu
dents will need to be free from
classes since few students live very
far from the college.
Polling 'places will be open from 7
o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock
tomorrow night.

Students X-Rayed
For TB Friday
The mobilized photographic unit,
which is part of the Pennsylvania
mass x-ray program, was available
Friday to HUC students at. City
Hall. The students of the center were
given a chance to be x-rayed for tu
berculosis, according to a time sche
dule set up by the administrative
head.
These free examinations were
made possible through' the coopera
tion of the Middle Valley Tuberculo
sis Society and they were under the
direction of Syd Rudman, center ac
tivities head.
These examinations are being
sponsored on a region -wide basis and
entire communities are being exam

In this way the T-B preventative
society is hoping to cut the possibili
ties for the spread of the disease.
WOMEN'S HALLOWE'EN
PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night at nine o'clock the
Women's Organization held a Hal
lowe'en party in the Pardee Hall at
the Y.M.C.A. Attendance was re
stricted to the women and, their
guests. Plans included dancing, Hal
lowe'en and other novel games, and
refreshments were served.
There was no costuming. How
ever, decorations did, along with the
different games, provide an autumn
atmosphere.
N. L. Teams
Discussed By
Baseball Pros
When Danny Lithwiler's All Stars
played in Bloomsburg prior to ap
pearing at Cranberry Park October
24, a Bloomsburg State Teachers
College sportswriter queried the
team members on their opinions of
National League teams this year.
The ensuing story gives an insight
into a player's idea of the national
pastime.
Ron Northey and Billy Cox may
think the St. Louis Cardinals and
Brooklyn Dodgers, respectively,
were the best teams in the National
League this :past season, but Vern
Bickford, sensational rookie pitcher,
has proof that his Braves were the
pick of the crop.
"Sure," said Bickford in response
to Ron Northey's assertion last week
that all the clubs were as strong as
ever, "we're all good, but the Braves
led the league in hitting; we led the
league in fielding, and we had the
best pitching record. How can you
beat that ?"
"Cleveland," said Vern, "is a
good, sound ball club with a great
