Marietta Council votes
to close unnamed alley
Ten Cents
Vol. 75 No. 24 June 18, 1975
Drivers were a little startled last Saturday when they were
flagged down in Maytown Square by Uncle Sam waving an
American Flag. Most of them knew it was Flag Day but few
could tell Uncle why Flag Day was observed on June 14.
Uncle Sam informed them that this was the day that Betsy
Ross finished the first American Flag and also the date the
first Continental Army was organized. Uncle Sam (played by
Chris Leese) then asked the drivers for a contribution to the
Maytown Softball Club.

State teaching award
the fourth member of the

and the first woman.
Mrs. Bleau,who is an
assistant professor of ma-
thematics, was selected by
the students, who first
nominated candidates, then
voted for the nominees,se-
lecting six finalists, and was
then interviewed by a panel
of students from all depart-
ments at Capitol Campus.
In response to a question
asked by the Bulletin, Mrs.
Bleau said she did not have
any particular philosophy of
teaching.
Her husband, Edward R.
Bleau, who is assistant
professor of economics at
Elizabethtown College, was
asked why his wife was
‘““such a good teacher.”’
Bleau stated that he has
seen her teach, and was
impressed with what he
saw. He said that a female
student of Mrs. Bleau’s at
Capitol Campus said that
Mrs. Bleau was ‘‘the most
feminine professor she had
ever seen. The average
female professor attempts to
be masculine in her ap-
proach.”
Bleau said of his wife’s
teaching, ‘‘She’s very lady-
like. It’s that quality that
typifies her teaching.”
In other business: Council
exonerated two persons
from per capita tax; issued 9
building permits; hired two
part-time policemen; Jay
Roberts and Ken Barringer
and one special policeman,
Robert Homsher.

Mayor B. McDevitt stated
the 25 mile per hour speed
signs have had a great effect
on the public. Speed checks

The Lancaster County
Boroughs’ Association met
at Mr. Lacy’s Lounge, June
12. Marietta Council was

The summer garbage
collection schedule is now in
effect with pick-ups Mon-
days and Thursdays.
Without commenting,
Mrs. Bleau gave the Bulle-
tin permission to publish her
husband’s analysis of her
teaching.
Mrs. Bleau studied at
Ohio Wesleyan University,
Case-Western Reserve Uni-
versity, from which she
received an M.A., and the
University of Illinois, where
she is a candidate for a Ph.
D.
Before coming to Capitol
Campus in 1972, she taught
in high schools,Baldwin-
Wallace College, Marshall
University, and Dickinson
College.
She is a member of Kappa
Mu Epsilon, an honorary
mathematics society and of
the Mathematical Associa-
tion of America.
She and her husband have
lived in Mount Joy ever
since they started teaching
at Capitol Campus and
Elizabethtown, having lived
previously on Delta Street.
They say they are delighted
by Mount Joy, have fine
friends, and think it is a
warm community. It is not
the most central community
between Middietown and
Elizabethtown, but living
here is worth the twenty-
mile drive to the Capitol
Campus.
