It's because you didn't tell it to print anything.  Look at the code, 
you read the input (call 'nextLine' on the Scanner) before you print 
anything.  I'd suggest you add a prompt before each use of a scanner 
method to give you a hint when the scanner is waiting for input.

Here's an example:

        System.out.println( "Enter your name:" );   // add this
 >      String Name = scan.nextLine();

Then you will see some output before the program waits.  Add an 
appropriate println before each use of a scanner method and the program 
will be easier to use.
