two historical factors.

Colleges and universities began as
academies, seminaries, or institutes
sponsored by the various religious
groups who came to a colony where
religious toleration existed.
In time,
these early academies became colTheir origleges and universities.
inal purpose of training ministers for

good for the shepherd was good for
the flock.

ministers or missionaries. This early
start of private colleges gave status.
Thus the general opinion that private
education was better than public education.
It was assumed that since
there was a direct outlay for tuition,
private education was worth more.
The second factor affecting the
development of the State Normal
Schools (1911), now State Colleges,
was the fact that they were, by law,
part of the public school system.
Public Schools in Pennsylvania began, as in England,
as
“pauper”
schools. As early as 1790, there was
a provisional law which read: “The
legislature shall provide by law for
the establishment of schools throughout the state in such a manner that
the poor may be taught gratis”; included was the clause, “As soon as
conveniently may be.” James Pyle

Wickersham

writes,

“Such a system

of class education necessarily failed
in a state where the
doctrine
of

equality had always been strongly
held.” He further states that, “The
idea that public schools should be
open alike without disrimination or
partiality to all children of all classes and condition of men” continued
with the passage
of
the

of

1834.

The early Normal Schools, sometimes organized on a county basis,
were operated for short periods of
time; finally, after 1857, they were
authorized by the State. These two
historical factors, namely, the status

private colleges and universities under
church sponsorship, and the identification of the Normal Schools with
the public schools which were organized for the poor, continue to linger in
the minds of the citizens of Pennsylvania.
It is against this background that
educators of other states question,
and sometimes are amazed by the reof
luctance of the Commonwealth
Pennsylvania to educate as large a
number of its young people beyond
the age of eighteen years as is done
by many other states in our country.
On the other hand, it can be argued,
and with basis, that the western migration, after 1800, caused populations

had a clean slate. Since there was
no private higher education, they
were forced to provide Universities,

Land-Grant Colleges, Normal Schools,
and later, State Teachers Colleges.
However, it must be urged that only
an increase in public higher education
enable the Commonwealth

These comments are personal in nature, and limited in scope

years (1948-1968), although the general framework is that of the original dissertation.
Certainly, the State Superintendent

When these institutions became
State Teachers Colleges in 1927, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
was Dr. John A. H. Keith, formerly
Principal of the Indiana State Normal
School. His experience, as a member
of the faculty of Columbia University,
as head of a campus training school
at DeKalb, Illinois, and as President
oi a college at Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
fitted him for the administration of
the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges.
The building oi several campus laboratory schools during his administration is a reflection of his interest in the student-teaching activity.
Many of the decisions made during
his administration regarding the organization of student government associations and the operation of college
bookstores are still in effect. Faculty
policies, such as salary
schedules,
leaves of absence every third summer with pay, and sick leave policies,

were originally developed during the

Under the administration of Dr.
James N. Rule, the difficult problems of trying to adjust the institutions to decreased state appropriations were faced, and the first system of student fees for instruction
was inaugurated. Salary schedules

and has only been approached at
Bloomsburg by that of Dr. David J.
Waller. Jr., who served as Principal

of the Bloomsburg
School for two periods totalling 27
years. Before coming to Bloomsburg
as head of the Business Department
in 1930, Dr. Andruss was for three
years in charge of the Accounting Department at Indiana State Teachers
College which is now Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

the

Commonwealth

He has served

of Pennsylvania a

total of 43 years.

A

native of Texas, Dr. Andruss was
raised and educated in the state of
Oklahoma. He earned the Bachelor
of Arts degree at the University of
Oklahoma, the Master of Business Administration degree at Northwestern
University, and the Doctor of Education degree at The Pennsylvania State
University. His service to education
spans a period of 46 years, including
four years as a teacher and administrator in the public schools of Oklahoma, as a special lecturer at some
of the nation’s leading
universities,
and as the author of a number of text-

books which have been widely used in
business education.
During his Presidency, a number of
significant changes took place in all
phases of the academic and physical
aspects at Bloomsburg State College.
Bloomsburg, as a teachers college,
granted only the Bachelor of Science
degree in education until 1960.
It
now grants the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Business
Administration,
the Master of Education degree, and
recently authorization has been received to grant the Master of Arts
degree in certain fields.
Dr. Andruss, in cooperation with the
college Board of Trustees, developed
the first approved campus plan for a
Pennsylvania State College. In the
past 10 years, a continuous building
program has been under way at
Bloomsburg. The present and proposed building program at the college will
cost more than $40,000,000.
During his administration, the enrollment at the college increased almost seven times. The total enrollin September 1969 will probably
exceed 4.500 students including 3,700

undergraduates.
Accomfull-time
panying the increases in student enrollments, there has been a corresponding increase in faculty and noninstructional personnel.
On his retirement. Dr. Andruss can
look back with pride to the facilities
and opportunities in higher education
that B.S.C. has made available to the
students of the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF TEACHER
EDUCATION AT BLOOMSBURG - 1869-1969
The basis for teacher education at
Bloomsburg was laid by chance in
the autumn of 1867 when the then
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
T. P. Wickersham, passed through the

town by train and saw the newly
on the hill
erected Carver Hall
“ablaze with light.” The location of
a new Normal School in the Sixth
District was under consideration; so
Wickersham returned to Bloomsburg,
addressed a meeting of the citizens,
and said that the Literary Institute
location would be ideal for a State
Normal School. The Board of Trustees
concurred, and on March 9, 1868, the
following

resolution

was

adopted;

“Resolved that the Trustees of the
Bloomsburg Literary Institute agree to
establish in connection with the same
‘A State Normal School’ ...”
Establishment of the Normal School
necessitated the erection of a dormitory, and plans for the building were

submitted by Principal Carver on
April 15, 1868, which called for an estimated cost of $36,000. The laying of
the cornerstone on June 25, 1968, was

a memorable occasion. Prayer was
offered by D. J. Waller, Sr.; Governor Geary laid the cornerstone and
made an appropriate address. Other
participants

included

Superintendent

Wickersham, Principal Carver, and
the Honorable William Elwell, President Judge of the County Courts.
Early in February 1869, the trustees
requested that a committee be appointed under the Act of 1857 to consider chartering the Literary Institute
as a State Normal School. On February 18, the committee examined facilities and the proposed curriculum
and the next day submitted a favorable report
and
recommendation.
Thus February 19, 1896 can be considered the birthday of Teacher Education at
Bloomsburg, although the
proclamation of the State Superinten-

dent was signed and sealed three days
later, and the first prospective teachers were not enrolled until September.
At first the curriculum consisted of
the traditional high school subjects
supplemented by courses in the methods of teaching. Normal School students did not even have to be
high
school graduates. But, as time went
on, the required terms were increased
from 21 to 42 weeks, high school graduation was made an admission requirement, and “professionalized content” courses were introduced.
A
Model School was opened relatively
early in the program and existed in
various locations until the opening of
the

School in 1930.

the institution was to be Bloomsburg
State Teachers College.
In many ways the history of an institution and its functions reflect the
personalities and leadership of the
men at its head. With rare exception
Bloomsburg has enjoyed enlightened
and progressive leadership from the

indomitable Henry Carver, who starts
ed the Normal School movement, to
Harvey A.
the present President,
Andruss.
Carver was followed by
two short-term Principals, Charles G.
Barkley and John Hewett, each of
whom served a year. Hewett was
succeeded by T. L. Griswold, who
served four somewhat controversial

and stormy years.
In 1877, at a low point in the schools
morale and prestige, D. J. Waller,
Jr., assumed the Principalship and
lifted the facilities and the curriculum
to a new and more progressive plane.
Waller served until his appointment
in 1890 to the State Superintendency
and retur-ned in 1906 to serve through
the maturation of its teacher educathe
tion programs and its sale to
State, retiring in 1920. Judson Welsh,

a Bloomsburg graduate, succeeded
Waller in 1890 and served until Waller’s return in 1906, his tenure marked particularly by the addition of several buildings to the

campus.

most and major changes have taken
place.

Not only was the program for business teachers inaugurated and it and
all other areas consistently strengthened dux-ing these years, but the special challenge of World War II was
met and the survival of the college assured. With only a handful of women
as a nucleus in teacher education,
Andruss assured the use of facilities
and the maintenance of faculty by obinstructional

taining

assignments

from the Navy in its V-5 and V-12 programs. Thus, the plant and faculty
were intact to service not only the
post-war flood of ex-G.I.’s, but even
to instruct several sections of Penn
State freshmen. The years that followed have shown this same foresight
and dedication to the future of the

college.*

that World War II intervened during
this period, and it was proposed that
some of the colleges be closed, or
converted to other uses.
This was a period of consolidation
of the gains previously made, rather
than launching into new areas. During this period, the faculties of the
State Teachers Colleges were organized as an association which sponsored the first legislation governing salqualifications,
rank,
aries, faculty
promotions, and, in subsequent years,
leaves of absence and sick leave.

in recent years was launched during
the administration of Dr. Charles H.

greater emphasis is being given to
planning and budgeting. To some extent, this is made necessary by the
change of the fiscal year of the Commonwealth from a biennial to an annual basis. Faculty salaries have
been augmented on three occasions
by two increments by action of the
Executive Board of the Commonwealth.
Increases in student fees
along with increases in appropriations
are other evidences of the concern of
the present administration with fiscal

and budgetary affairs. An association of alumni has been set up on a
state- wide basis, and the overall organization of trustees, faculty, alumni,

are able to make certain com-

ments and possibly hint at certain
seven-year
conclusions when these
stages of development are viewed in
relation to the following five educaand
tional factors: 1) Organization
Control, 2) Financial Support, 3) Students, 4) Faculty, and 5) Curricular
Offerings.
Organization and Control
The organization and control of the
Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges,
for the first twenty-one years of thenexistence, changed only to the extent
that provision was made for overlapping terms for the members of the
Board of Trustees. Originally, the
Governor appointed the Trustees with

influence in suggesting, urging, or, in
fact, nominating persons appointed to

the Boards of Trustees.
the senator of a local district also had,
and in fact still has, the veto power
in this area.
For these and other reasons, various proposals have been made to constitute

a new policy-making body for

fourteen institutions, known as the
State Board of Regents, Trustees, or
Directors, which would limit the fourteen local Boards of Trustees to a
consultative or advisory basis. At the
same time, it was recognized that
there was a need for greater autonomy at the local level. For too long
the State Colleges have been subject
to the same budgeting,
purchasing,
and other administrative procedures
developed over a period of time for
prisons, hospitals, or mental institutions. Since students provide the fees
in an increasing amount for instruction, housing, food, and medical services, the State Colleges cannot be
administered in the same way as institutions for inmates, patients, and
prisoners. Little or no progress has
been made in developing new organizational and control patterns for the
State Colleges in the last forty years.
This is a matter of prime concern, as
these fourteen institutions are serving
fifty or sixty thousand students, and
all

will

probably double in enrollment in

the next decade.

Financial Support

The increasing reliance on local fees
collected from students is the chief
characteristic of the financial basis
of operation.
Only recently has the
State appropriated more money than
the institutions have collected from
students under one guise or another.
A general guideline or polilcy needs
to be developed so as to determine the
portion of the total cost to be borne
by the students, with the remainder to
be appropriated by
the
Commonwealth. Probably, auxiliary

crease in student fees ($250 to $350)
at State Colleges, with a corresponding reduction in state appropriations
requested by the institutions, cannot
be continued as a device for balancing
the State’s General

Fund Budget.

Students

A

more or less uniform statement
for admission of students to the State
Normal Schools was formalized in
1920.
It was reviewed again in 1927,
and the admission policy continued to
attract greater attention; but numbers
had been limited by the capacities of

Rank in high school
the colleges.
graduating classes and college board
scores seem to indicate that the abilities and achievements of the students
admitted to the Colleges have been
slowly improving. Five or six times
as many applications are received as
the number of places available for the
entering freshman classes. Academic
and graduation requirements have
been gradually improved; and the student-teaching experience in the senior
year has moved from the campus to
cooperating public schools located, in
many cases, beyond the commuting
area of the college.
With the great pressure for admitting increasing numbers of students
to public institutions of higher education, the balance between the number
of students and the number of available faculty can only be maintained
on the basis of a reasonable studentfaculty ratio. This means restricting
the enrollment of students, or overloading the faculty either by increasing class sizes or by increasing the
number of classes. These choices must
be considered along with a program
for new buildings, which is usually
delayed beyond the planned completion dates.

Sometimes plans

for a building procoordinated with the
concurrent completion of classrooms,
dining halls, and dormitories. There
have been attempts to accomodate an
ever-increasing number of students in
or near the towns in which the colleges
are located, through the building of
private dormitories, and, in
a few
cases, private dining halls.
Faculty
With the growth in enrollment, the
number of faculty has increased more
rapidly than the number of students.
This increase has also been marked
by an improvement in the degree-holding status of the faculty. In other
words, there are more who hold the
doctor’s degree, and fewer holding just
bachelor’s degrees. The present law
provides standards for academic rank.
Accrediting agencies evaluate the institutions in terms of the degrees held
by faculty members and their graduate preparation along with teaching
and/or related experience, which is

In the 1967-68 college year, there

were 659 Professors,

Professors, 995 Assistant Professors,
and 491 Instructors in the Pennsylvania State College system. The last

basic amendment of
State College Salary Act was approved July 30, 1963, and since that time
there have been upward revisions of
the salary schedule by the Executive
Board of the Commonwealth. Although
in each session of the legislature the
Pennsylvania
State
Association of
College and University Faculties, has
caused a bill to be introduced to in-

crease salaries, Pennsylvania ranks
high only in salaries paid to Instructors. Needed improvements in salaries are overdue.

Another problem is that when
increases have been granted in the
past they have become effective so
late in the academic year that while
providing more compensation for faculty members employed the previous
year, they have not been available to
attract new faculty members at the
time when the employment process is
in full swing.
With budgets in the process of being
reviewed, and in many cases reduced
in amount, either in terms of dollars
available or number of new employees
allowed, adminisrators are left with a
great number of vacancies to fill even
after the college year is opened. This
means that there is a difficult choice
between filling positions with applicants who are available late in the

pointments means choosing between

expected
enrollment,
creating a faculty overload by accepting a pre-determined number of students, then not being able to employ
the authorized number of faculty.
Curricular Offerings
The transition from the two-year
enrollment curriculum to the four-year
baccalaureate degree program was
made by authorizing a new grade of
teaching certificates which permitted
the student to teach in the elementary
schools at the end of two years of preparation, but required the earning of
a certain number of semester hours
sessions,
of credit during summer
through extension courses, or in some
other part-time manner.
Later the
level of preparation for those beginning to teach in
the
elementary
schools was raised to three years. The
general effect was to expect a certificate holder eventually to
earn a
Bachelor’s degree and become eligible
for the issuance of a college provisional certificate.

The same procedure was followed
when the four-year level of prepara-

tion, an alumnus of a State College,
in addition to his teaching, must earn

to qualify for a permanent teaching
certificate.

Master of Education
Since the
degree began to be offered by the
State Colleges, a great preponderance
of public school teachers have chosen
to earn the additional semester hours
along with a thesis, or other requirements, to receive a Master’s degree.

The net result is that all the State
Colleges offer a Bachelor of Science in
Education degree in the elementary
and most of the secondary subject
matter fields; and almost all offer
the Master of Education degree in
certain specified areas. Some are now
offering the Master of Arts degree in
subject matter fields.
This is a far cry from the threeyear Normal School that would accept
students from eighth grade, and graduate them in three years with a normal school diploma, or high school
graduates who would complete the requirements in two years. All of the
colleges are now accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher
and the Pennsylvania
Education,
State Board of Education.

Summary
Broad generalizations are difficult
since there are many exceptions. However, one cannot avoid having impressions spanning four decades; the
State Normal School, the State Teachers College, the State Colleges, and
instituthe emerging multi-purpose
tions as universities.
While there has been a decided improvement among students, faculty,
and curricular offerings, there has
been a lag in the State’s financial support; although support has improved
in recent years, this area needs further attention. Unless larger amounts
of money are available in the form
of
increased State appropriations,
more students cannot be accomodated. If these increased appropriations
are to be made effective for educational purposes, the influence of the
governing bodies, be they known as
Trustees,
Regents, Visitors, Overseers, or Directors, must be limited to
the development of policy.
The organization and control of
Pennsylvania State Colleges has not
changed in any perceptible degree in
the last half-century; though the matter of organization and control has received some attention in the last decade, attempts at change have been
more or less unsuccessful.
Overlapping terms for members of the
local Board of Trustees are only partially successful, since the filling of
vacancies has sometimes been delayed to the point that the majority of

Four decades

of

vania’s State Colleges, I am naturally
tempted to look backward. Though
it has been said that we talk about the

of time when we have nothing
else to talk about, there is value as
well as satisfaction in recalling the
past.
So let us only glance back at where
we have been to credit those to

due, but let us look

forward in terms of where we are now
and where we want to go.
Someone has said that the Andrusses
are a State College family. The father
and mother of Mrs. Andruss were both
graduates of the old Indiana State
Teachers College; in fact, he was the
first trustee to be appointed from outside the town of Indiana. My brotherin-law, the husband of my wife’s twin
sister, was for twenty-five years Dean
of

Men

and, later. Dean of Instruction,

Pennsylvania from Illinois in 1926
and joined the faculty of the then InFour
diana State Normal School.
years later, I moved to Bloomsburg.
Since I have mentioned my wife, let

me say this before I turn to other
matters: No man can succeed without
a good wife. I have been particularly
fortunate. Since she grew up near a
college campus, my wife played college girl in the classrooms before she
went

to public schools. Over the decades, her kindness, sympathy, sense
of social values and unwavering loyalty to Bloomsburg State College, its
President, and its students has been

most noteworthy.

all.

There have been many changes

in

the State Colleges over the past fortythree years, and though almost all of
them can be pin-pointed as progressive, there are certain general attitudes on the part of the public (i. e.,
taxpayers, citizens, and
politicians)
that still prevail and color comments
that are made from time to time.
1. Since public education in Pennsylvania in the lower schools was meant
for “paupers,” or children of the poor
who were unable to attend private
schools, the general consensus is that
private education is better because it
costs more.
2. Since the normal schools were an
extension of the State public school

system, and were one-purpose

institutions originally for training only ele-

mentary school teachers, they became

known as

Bloomsburg is concerned, the oft-quoted advice that one should “Be not the

sound and appropriate.

The problems involved
development of a second, or
upper, campus at Bloomsburg, not the
least of which is the number of students enrolled, will be met and solved.
Access is important; Roads to and
from this campus must be of sufficient
width to accomodate traffic to a campus accomodating 6,000 or more students in a town where the present population, including resident and college
students, is only 10,000. The kind and
the

type of building to be constructed onl

of the institution and expressed gratitude to the founders and contemporaries at the college, the residents and

since resided in this community.
A member of the Presbyterian

also more students.

The first in a series of three planning conferences for seven new buildings which are to be constructed on
the campus
of
Bloomsburg State
College was held in the Alumni Room
at the college.

The seven projects include a classroom building, two residence halls
for women, two residence halls for
men, a dining room-kitchen, and a
maintenance building-garage.
Five of these structures are to be
located on the upper campus, formerly the Bloomsburg Country Club and
the other two, a classroom
building
and a dormitory for 300 women are
to be located on the lower campus.
The estimated construction cost is $9,738,600, according to Boyd F. Buckingham, Director of Development at
BSC.
The primary purpose of the preplanning

conference

was

to

gather

and discuss information regarding the
proposed site of each building and the
availabililty of necessary utilities.

The members of the Alumni Association salute the retiring President, Dr.
Harvey A. Andruss, and thank him for a job well done. Your Alumni President
was a member of the faculty when Harvev Andruss came to Bloomsburg to set
up the newly created Division of Business Education. We cannot forget the
days of World War II, when three Navy programs were initiated, nor the days
after the war when, for a short time, there were 153 students on the campus.
Since that time, the growth of the College has been phenomenal. Not only has
there been enormous growth in the student body and the faculty, but there has
also been a great broadening of the educational facilities of the College.
Ten
new buildings have been erected, and three more are now under construction.
President Andruss has shown a great capacity for seeing future trends, and
being prepared to meet those trends when they materialized. Therefore
BSC as it is today stands as a lasting memorial to a great administrator.

OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

special

In September the Bloomsburg State
College initiated an Educational Opportunity Program for high school

graduates from economically deprived
backgrounds.
The group admitted
consists of approximately twenty-five
individuals, both Negro
and white,
who have been selected by the college
in close cooperation with high school
guidance counselors.
Plans for the Educational Oppor-

Program were initiated in August, 1968, when a special committee
was appointed by Dr. Harvey A. Antunity

druss,

president of the

College,

to

“survey and make recommendations
for promoting more opportunity for
economically deprived
students
at

Bloomsburg State College.”
The committee consisted of Dr. John
A. Hoch,

Dean

of Instruction; Dr. H.

M. Afshar, chairman. Department of
Education; Dr. Lee E. Aumiller, Coordinator of Field Experiences;
Dr.
Robert Miller, director of federal programs; John Scrimgeour, director of
student financial aid, and John Walker, director of admissions. This committee met bi-weekly throughout the
winter months to consider all aspects
of the program.
In order to have a
better overall evaluation of prospective students, it was decided that insofar as possible all students would
be contacted through high school guidance counselors.

program will
be
partially
funded with Economic
Opportunity
Grants.
Work-study programs, provided by the college, will be initiated
during the summer of 1969. Special
courses to improve communication
skills will be available during the summer, and tutorial services will be
available if requested.
All students admitted
under the
Educational Opportunity Program will
be required to maintain the same academic standards as other students, although the time usually required for
completing the degree programs may
be extended from four to five years.

A statement at this time does not indicate any special concern in regard to possible activities on our campus such as have been witnessed
on college campuses across the country. However, in view of the temper of the
times, we believe it proper to reassure our students, faculty, alumni, and friends
by a clear statement relative to the following:

Board of Trustees.

Bloomsburg State College proudly affirms its belief in, and support of,
the philosophy of individual freedom and responsibility. Acadt mie freedom is not academic license, and the right to criticize and protest is not
the right to disrupt or interfere with the freedom of others. Bloomsburg
State College believes in a government of law and not of men.
It is the
right of any citizen to criticize, protest, and attempt t6 change the law in

He applies presumably because he wishes to further his education and because he believes Bloomsburg State College, with its traditions and reputation, is capable of advancing his intellectual development. Any student who is not in agreement
with the rules and regulations, traditions and policies of the College is
always welcome to suggest changes in an orderly manner; however, having been accepted and having decided to enroll, he is expected to abide
by the laws of our nation and comply with the rules and policies of
Bloomsburg State College until change is accomplished by proper pro-

Moreover, the administration of the College pledges unequivocally to
give full and prompt attention to proposals presented in a serious and
orderly manner. The use of violence, disturbances, or force of any kind
—whether bv a single student, a minority or a majority group— will not

be

tolerated.

Accordingly, the Board of Trustees formally announces this College offers
no sanctuary to anv individual or group which condones, advocates, or exercises the taking over, or damaging, of Commonwealth property or the use of intimidation or physical force. Any who engage in such activities will be held

and individually responsible. Corrective steps may include suspension,
expulsion, and/or prosecution in the court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Not very many years ago, a state college essentially served a limited geographic region, its graduates were prepared for a single occupation, and for the
most part they continued to live in the area served by the institution.
Currently, of course, virtually every state-operated college recruits its students from
a wide population, prepares its graduates for diverse roles in society, and finds
its alumni scattered throughout the nation.
The era, therefore, of cohesive
alumni units is gone; it has become increasingly difficult to establish and to
maintain traditional alumni loyalties. Contact, for the most part, is continued
through publications such as this.
If, however, close community of interest has faded, there remains for every
graduate a responsibility for participating, even remotely, in the continuing
operation of his college, by supporting alumni programs.

One need not be reminded of the rapid rise of costs for higher education;
yet even with increased fees, the current student pays less than 25% of the
annual operating costs for Bloomsburg State College, exclusive of capital construction.
In all probability, you paid a lower percentage of the instructional

abated; rather, the need for scholarship aid, loan funds, and grants-in-aid
becomes increasingly important. Today’s student should be able to look to
alumni for such assistance, as they, in turn, should help those who follow. Again,
with needs for more sophisticated facilities and equipment, essential for effective
and efficient operation, and with necessary limitations imposed upon the use
of available state funds, the need for unrestricted, discretionary funds becomes
increasingly important. The college itself should be able to look to alumni for
such assistance.

BRINKLEY SPEAKS AT

COLLEGE CONFERENCE
“The answer to our problems is reform within the existing structure; we
need a peaceful resolution to make
the present system work because it
is still

the best in spite of

its

faults,”

David Brinkley, nationally known
news analyst and commentator, asserted at Bloomsburg State College
recently.
He addressed around 1,500 educators in Haas auditorium on
the BSC campus.
Brinkley’s address was a highlight
of the Twenty-Third annual Conference for Teachers and Administrators
sponsored by the College. He spoke
on “The State of the Nation.”

Nossen Outlines His Policy

Dr.

Asserting there is no standing still.
Dr. Robert J. Nossen, new president
of BSC, addressing the members of
the faculty and administrative staff
asked that faculty and students join
with him in a review of every phase
of the operation of the College.
The educator said he will review
some of the more pressing problems
of education including the “so called

campus

unrest,

its

causes and factors

involved in resolution, society’s expectations from the colleges and universities and the responsibilities of
higher education to society. Finally,
1 will review the possible application
of some of these to Bloomsburg.”
Tribute was paid to the marked
advancement of the college under Dr.
Andurss by the new president who
declared “The roles that this College
must play must be factored into its
long-range academic plan, and that
plan must be up-graded at least annually.”
Dr. Nossen prefaced his remarks
with this statement, “I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of
Trustees, for whom I hold great respect; to the faculty members and
students who worked with the trustees during the long, difficult,
and
sometimes tedious process of selecting a president; and to all
and
they are encouraging, numerous, and
from all areas of the College and the
region
who have made us feel fully

—

welcome

to

Bloomsburg.

“I am indeed pleased and proud to
be a part of BSC and the Bloomsburg
Area community. We have not been
here long, yet we already feel close
to both.”
Dr. Nossen continued his address
by noting that, “Dr. Andruss accomplished many things during his tenure: the College will long be grateful
for his years of effort, but I most appreciate his leaving a campus well
alone in the making, the buildings
and grounds that reflect care and nurturing and, above all, a fine staff with

“Assuming a new

is

easy: the difficulties

“The past decade has been one of
lapid change in higher education, and
Bloomsburg State College reflects, in
many ways, the nature of such
change. There is no standing still,

even though some find comfort

in

a

status quo.
“I ask only that faculty and students join with me, and let me join
with them, in reviewing every phase
of the operation of the College, every
practice, every tradition, every concept.
When a new approach seems
warranted, let’s approach it carefully,
but deliberately; whatever
doesn’t
fulfill our expectations, let’s discard

and try an alternative.
“There are a number of areas
which I hope will be among our priconsiderations. Many of these
have already started and this statement will simply be a reaffirmation;
others will demand new consideration
and,
perhaps,
renewed tolerance
from you.
“Full procedures for faculty participation in goverance, the role of
students in College operation, curricula revision, the use of Library of

course, challenge procedures and an
administrative reorganization are just
a few of the considerations we must

a visit to the BSC campus recently,
and among the various features was
a press conference. Because, as is
usually the situation in such circumstances, things were behind schedule
and the hour conference was limited

The Questions were in the usual
areas. Sincee he was at a State College most of the student queries
were similar to those asked by students on campuses of similar instituWhen the reporters had their

inning their questions were built largely around things they usually inquire about.
The tenor of the session was made pertinent by question that were formed so they included
current developments.
As to a query about putting all the
State Colleges under one board of
trustees, the Governor does not believe that this would enhance the poliHe
tical influence of appointments.
said there would be no basic change
in appoinment which would continue
to be made by the Governor and approved by the Senate. He felt mentioned amendments would cause non
basic change and mentioned an act
of earlier in the day of placing the
student
government presidents of
each college on the board of trustees,
a move he holds will be a step toward
the eliminating of lack of understanding and communication.

Support of Colleges
that he had proposed

He mentioned

millions for the State Colleges
and the Legislature had cut that to $68
millions.
As to why this Commonwealth gives so much aid to private
institutions, he said this is unique in
Pennsylvania and he believes it is
sound. The Governor said that state
has more private colleges, on basis
of population, then any other state
and “it makes sense to aid them to
keep operating and is certainly cheaper than to build state schools from
$83

scratch to replace them.”
Complaint was raised about segregation in the state colleges.
Showing a slight irritation at the statement
Shafer replied that any who held that
opinion was “either misled, misguided presenting a wilful untruth.” He
said the Colleges are not segregated
or separated. He said it is a fact the
Negro enrollment is low “but we are
attempting to bring more blacks in.”
A student brought up the matter of
individual rights believed violated at
the College and the Governor told
him “I just don’t believe it.”
He
added that there are local rules at
institutions and when an individual
enrolls he must accept them “and if
you don’t like them then work to

change them.”
Future Tuition Increases

NAME DINING HALL AT
BSC FOR SCRANTON
A new

dining hall nearing completion on the BSC campus will be named for William H. Scranton, Governor of Pennsylvania from 1962 until
1966.

Expected to be ready for occupancy
by February. 1970, present plans call
for the facility to be dedicated during the week of April 12-18, 1970. in
conjunction with the inauguration of

President Robert Nossen, and will be
officially designated the William H.
Scranton Commons.
Former Governor Scranton has been invitd to narticipate in the dedication and the trustees are hopeful that his calendar
will permit him to be on campus at
that time.
The new Commons will include two
new large dining areas which can be
divided into four smaller areas, each
having its own serving equipment.
The seating capacity will accomodate 1.000 students and the food prepration area is designed to serve 2.000 students at each meal. The Commons also includes several offices,
lobbies, a dining room for faculty
and another for food service
employees, a bakery, walk-in refrigeration storage units, a loading dock and
receiving area, employe locker rooms,
and general storage areas. All areas
except the kitchen are air-conditioned.
The cost of construction is approximately $1,645,000.

President of Bloomsburg State College Saturday afternoon. April 18.
Presiding since September 1969. he
was formally installed during cereconflict

monies conducted by
Pennsylvania
of Education
David
H.
Kurtzman.
Dr. Nossen built his address around
the word “Tensions,” stating “Conflict must be constructive.
It must
be based ultimately upon mutual resSecretary

pect within the academic community,
tolerance, and understanding.”
He added, “There is as little justification to adopt policies or practices
based upon immature or irresponsible demands as there is to retain a
status quo for fear of changes.”
He
pledged his use of college resources
to reach educational goals as efficiently as possible.

Dr. Oscar Lanford, President
of
State University College,
Fredonia,
N. Y., stated, “Although higher education in the decade of the sixties can
be characterized by the word ‘change’
it
has changed perhaps less during
the immediate past than many other
aspects of our society.
“If higher education is to continue
to be one of the main driving forces
of our society, then it must change
much more rapidly in the decade
ahead than it has during the decade
just entered. Critics of higher education. both friendly
and otherwise,
have asserted that while colleges and
universities have been the principal
agent in social and political reform,
the University itself is very slow to
change or as one has put it
wellnigh impervious to change.
“It is clear that the demands for
reform of higher education are to a
considerable degree justified. Questions concerning the objectives of various levels of education; the varying
of abilities, motivation, and learning
methods;

courses examination procedures; the
maturity of today’s high school graduate; and the intergrading of constituent groups of college communities

“We have much to do as we settle

We will have conflict leading to inevitable tensions during those years

ANDRUSS NAMED

PRESIDENT EMERITUS
“No governing body of this college
has been faced with more problems
then the present Board,” Dr. Harvey
A. Andruss declared as Bloomsburg
State College bestowed the
title
of
“President Emeritus” on him.
In his response he said “
I
fervently beseech every one to support
the new administration and the Board
of Trustees from this day forward so
that Bloomsburg, as it becomes bigger

better.”

Dr. Andruss w'as honored in the climaxing event of the first day’s activities marking the formal inauguration
of Dr. Robert J. Nossen as new president of the college.
Dr. Andruss was cited during an

Awards Convocation in Haas auditorium in a ceremony in which over 100
students were recognized for
their
achievements at the college.
The
title was bestowed on Dr. Andruss by
William A. Lank, president of the
Board of Trustees who gave Andruss
“most of the credit for the development and expansion of a small teachers college into a substantial institution of higher learning.
“Under his guidance and foresight,”
Lank said, “our college has grown to
a multi-million dollar educational institution, supported by a faculty of approximately 275 members and serving
as a medium for the training and development of 3,700 members of the student body.”
In his response, Dr. Andruss said he
was “duly impressed” noting that the
only other recipient was the late Dr.
David J. Waller who had served the
former Normal School a total of 27

for this consideration and max-k of
continuing confidence. No governing
body of this college has been faced
with more problems than the present
Board. These Trustees inspire trust
and merit the confidence of the college community.”
Dr. Andruss pointed out that in the
last three decades there have been 30
or more trustees who were all good
men, putting the college and its policies above personal or private considerations. He indicated many of them
have given not only their time, but
also their means to serve the college.
Dr. Andruss mentioned that the late
Reginald S.
Hemingway Esquire,
Judge C. William Kreisher, Superintendent Fred Deihl, all past pi'esidents
of the Board of Trustees and
Lank,
the current president, deserved special
commendation from everyone. He said
that he was happy to have the opportunity to voice it publicly.
Dr. Andruss continued, “A few days
ago. running my finger along a set of
books, I paused at the Russian novel
Turgenev’s ‘Father and Sons’ written over 100 years ago. The title recalled to my mind the modern ‘generation gap.’
More than that, it
brought to mind the use of the term
‘nihilist’ in the present day in conjunction with some of the younger
generation. Turgenev did not oi-iginate the epithet ‘nihilist’ but he did
give it more than the usual political
connotation in Russia at the time the
freedom of the serfs was about to
take place. Nihilist as a word can be
defined in almost as many ways as
those who try to give this Latin word
modern meaning.
Orignally, nihil
meant ‘nothing’ so those youth in
Tui’genev’s day were said to ‘accept
nothing’

THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE
The summer months have been particularly full ones.
Once again, the
college offered three sessions, and enrollment in each continued to increase
over previous sessions. In addition, the college welcomed about 250 students
representing the Pennsylvania Association of Farm Cooperatives, two groups
from abroad representing the Experiment in International Living, and four
groups of incoming Freshmen, with their parents.
Summer sessions provide an excellent opportunity for acceleration, for
make-up, and for enrichment. Starting this year, each offering is calculated
to meet a specific student need, and is being integrated into a two-year plan
Insofar as is possible and feasible, professors

from other campuses are brought in for these sessions to provide a greater
breadth of learning experience.
Once again, the college offered a wide range of summer lectures and artists.
Of special significance was the appearance in July of Miss Lynn Bari in a
production of The Little Foxes, and of David Bimey in Hamlet. These, like
productions of previous summers, were directed bv a member of the college
faculty and, except for the lead, utilized college players.
The Farm group spent four days on campus in early July. Highly select
ed, highly motivated, these young people were capable of restoring anyone’s

cooperation, they demonstrated the pleasures such a group can derive from
learning together, working together, singing together, and losing themselves
completely in an array of activities. Ah who had any association with this
group hope that the organization will return to the Bloomsburg campus in
subsequent years.
Bloomsburg State College has become increasingly concerned with International Education, and, therefore, particularly welcomed the first two foreign
groups to visit the campus through the Experiment in International Living.
The initial group included eleven students and teachers from Japan; the second,
a group of thirteen teachers from Germany.
Each attended classes of their
choice, visited a number of faculty homes, and lived with and studied with
regular Bloomsburg students.
All reports verified the success of the program
both for the visitors and for our own campus community.
And, finally, the college initiated this year Freshmen Summer Orientation.
Replacing the usual rather hectic and certainly crowded, traditional fall Orieri
cation, students and their parents were invited to the campus for a three-day
period in groups of about 250. They were addressed by members of the Administrative staff and faculty, engaged in a number of activities, underwent the
usual testing, and were assisted in preparing their fall schedules.
Special
programs were held for the parents with emphasis upon student personnel
services.

The college has announced its new Administrative Reorganization. Following a year of study, a plan has now been developed which will provide a reorganization of responsibilities, the development of new titles, and a ffexibilitx
which should serve the college well during the coming years of expansion and
development. Further details will be carried in a future issue of the Quarterlv

The response for the class of 1970
was given by John M. Dalfovo, president. The benediction was offered by
the Rev. Vincent R. Siciliano, First
English Baptist Church.
Taking as his theme “It’s Your
Move,” Dr. Nossen stated in part:
“The American Bar Association in
its report of the Commission on Campus Government and Student Dissent,
included the statement ‘freedom of
dissent, freedom from disorder.’ We
are just now completing a spring that
has seen dissent, intensive dissent, unfortunately erupting in various forms
and degrees of disorder.
We have
been through not only a struggle to
establish a philosophy or ideology, but
a constant threat of or attempt to
force confrontation.
We have read
or received a super-abundance of
analysis or information, and
have
emerged, I am sure, with about the
same amount of confusion.

“Mr. Rubin said further, ‘The

We are going to

It is, indeed, your move.
“I have given and I believe that

But we had and continue to have, I

If you lack that faith,
the result will be simple and inevitable; as the country passes over into

really that simple; if you want to destroy America, you will have full opportunity when those of your generation control it.

He was ordained a minister of the
Congregational Church and went to
the Philippines in 1915. He taught at
in
the Union Theological Seminary
Manila and in 1929 he began his literary work with the Moro tribesmen.
Finding the Moros had no written
language, Dr. Laubach adapted the
alphabet into the Maranaw language
and started a folk school to teach
them to read. Within a few months,
there were 50 teachers on the staff.
During the Depression, the project
was threatened by lack of funds. A

This gave rise to the “Each

spread literacy to an estimated 70
to

million persons.
In addition Dr.

Laubach developed
teaching materials for use

in
countries and 312 languages.
Five
biographies were written about him
and he authored fifty-six books.
His
most recent, “Forty Years of the Silent Millions,” was released on June

He founded Laubach

with headquarters in Syracuse. Decorated
by two nations, he was
awarded seven honorary degrees.
From 1941 to 1954, he was missionary-at-large for the National Council

Churches and in addition did literacy work for the United Nations,
Scientific and Cultural Org. (UNESCO), the U. S. State Department, and
the Peace Corps.
Dr. Laubach’s “home church” was

COLLEGE INSTALLS NEW
SYSTEM FOR EDUCATION
The Department of Education of
Bloomsburg State College has installed an auto-tutorial educational media
laboratory in Hartline Science Center.
The system, which utilizes audiovisual material in a carrel setting w'ill
allow large numbers of students to
receive necessary instruction in audiovisual
machine
operation
and
production techniques. Teachers need
to be familiar with the latest equipment and materials in education and
the new sytem allow's each student to
receive
individualized
instruction
moving him at his ow'n pace.
The system is essentially a prog-

rammed

instruction system that utilfilms, and other visual media that are accompanied by
an audio tape. To learn a particular
machine or production procedure, a
student merely seats himself at a carrel, presses the appropriate buttons
and the program is delivered to him.
He may review the program as many

Although the concept is not new,
this system represents the first time
that such a system has been utilized

in

Bloomsburg State College.
The
system allows the student to come to

The particular system for Bloomsburg State College wr as conceived and

designed by Raymond E. Babineau,
assistant professor of education. Barbineau was a participant in an institute and wr as one of the members who
designed the proto-type for the carrel

His system incorporates 15 carrel

The installation of the system culminates a year of planning that commen-

specifically designed to enhance the
aesthetic qualities of the new center
and also provides wall space to be
used as an area for paintings. A portion of the building has currently been
designated as the center for the Columbia County Historical Museum,

NOSSEN ADDRESSES
FRESHMEN-PARENTS
DR.

“There are many who wish to give
you advice. A true test of wisdom is
how to choose your counselor wisely,”
Dr. Robert
Nossen,
president
of
Bloomsburg State College stated in an
address to freshmen students and their
parents during the seventeenth annual
freshmen-parents day activities in the
campus. Approximately 1,100 parents,
students, and faculty attended.
In a statement directed to parents,
Dr. Nossen added. “This is the most
important advice I can give young
people. I would urge you as parents
to be aware of it and to repeat it often.”

Speaking of those who counsel or
advise students, Dr. Nossen continued,
“There are those who come to the
campus to lead persons to take action
that the counselor wants them to take
for his own narrow purpose.
“There are those who print underground or unofficial papers in the hope
that they can influence students.
“There are those, well-meaning,
of really

good intent, who

will inter-

pert events at they see them, but
don’t understand them.
“All of these influences are on this
campus. Every student here will be
subject to them. The careful choice
of an advisor will be important to you
both now and for years to come.”
Dr. Nossen also discussed plans

the true needs of these institutions of
higher education.
Dr. Nossen noted that plans for Octrally in

ober 15 have been developed by
ponsible student leaders, spokesmen
res-

for the Board of Presidents, and perhaps, Gov. Shafer.
“It is a form of protest, but responsible and guided protest, to help others
understand the importance of these
colleges,” Dr. Nossen said.
“We will not close; we will not put
aside our academic program for any
reason over which we have control.
But in spirit, we will give our support
insofar as ends remain constructive
and means remain objective, responsible, and valid,” Nossen said.

Dr. Nossen expressed his faith in
Michael Pilligalli, president of the

community government association,
and other students at the college.
“They have given me little reason
to feel otherwise,” he said.
John S. Mulka, director of student
activities, presided during the pro

“For example, every human being
has certain rights and privileges, but
accompaning these are responsibilities
which must be fulfilled,” he said.
Michael Pilligalli, CGA president,
explained the October 15 student
movement referred to earlier by Dr.
Nossen.
Students are going to Harrisburg not
to protest or act unlawfully, but as
responsible adults who want to impress State officials with the need for
the State Colleges and Indiana University, he said.
Elton Hunsinger, vice president for
student affairs at the college, said,
college youth hold in their hands
three of the most important influences
of all times - love, understanding, and

of Graduate
Studies.
This is the
largest number of graduate courses
offered during the regular semester
of the college year.

At the present time there are 21 full
time graduate students and 341 part
time graduate students enrolled at
BSC, both of which are an all-time
high. This increase in enrollment is
largely due to more students being
interested in graduate work and the
addition of new degree programs on
the graduate level. It is anticipated
that this increased enrollment will
continue as
a result of the newly
created graduate programs.

cannot, unfortunately, yet make specific plans for enrollment for the
1971-72 academic year because of budget uncertainties. Demand for inclusion
in our entering class, however, continues very strong, and in fact, is running
well ahead of last year. The college hopes to be able to increase its enrollment
of community college transfers.
When the fiscal matters are settled, hopefully
in the near future, the college will again be able to make specific plans to assure
full utilization of its available facilities.
These facilities, by the way, continue
to improve; work is progressing very rapidly on the Field House located on the
new campus site; excavation has been completed and mechanicals are being
installed for the Administration Building; and the new multi-level Parking Lot

From 1942 to 1953, he was a United
States Air Force officer and a psychological Warfare officer.
The Commencement address delivered by Dr. Drake follows:
"A college is government under
law, not of men. If the latter were
true, we would have either despotism
or anarchy, each of which is equally
abhorent and ultimately
self-destructive.
College law may be couched in such euphemistic
terms as
statements of policy or
suggested
guidelines, but the essential purpose
and characteristics of law remain,
which, by dictionary definition, is a
rule of conduct, recognized by custom or decreed by formal enactment,
which is considered by an authoritatively constituted group as binding
upon its members. It is conceived in,
and dedicated to, the welfare of the

community: or as JereBentham would have stated it, it

“Lastly, I would emphasize the idea
of a college as a community of men.
Until now one might have been tempted to conclude that a college is an

good for the greatest number.
“Although college is a government
under law, it by its very nature cannot be a pure democracy since students outnumber the faculty and administration, 15 to 1, and thus colege
would become a government of, by,
and for the students
with hopefully
the rights of the faculty and administration guaranteed.
But to accept
this concept of a college as a pure
democracy would be to deny that faculty and administration have any es-

able voice. In this idea of a college
as a government under law and functioning as a participatory democracy,
we have a viable institution that defines the rights and responsibilities
of its members and provides the mechanisms for peaceful and orderly
change as change is desired or needed.
"When one thus considers the dual
concept of a college as a community
of scholars and a government under
law, it becomes manifest that violence and revolution, and even campus unrest, are antithetical to it.
Cries of ‘pigs on campus’ and taunts
of ‘Fascist’ or ‘Communist’ are not
rational and hence, not scholarly; the
bombing of campus buildings and the
barricading of classrooms are neither
rational nor legal. Less dramatically
the professor who refused to carry out
student
his assigned duties and the
who aids or abets him are likewise
acting neither rationally or legally.
“A college is also a functional society composed of students, faculty,
and administration; each with a function to perform for the common good
Reduced to the most elemenof all.
tary terms, the primary function of
the student is to learn; the faculty,
to teach; and the administration, to
manage or supervise. These three
functional groups are thus interdependent and, like the leaves of a shamrock, component parts of the whole.
To conceive of a college as an arena
in which students are pitted against
faculty and both are locked in mortal
combat, with the administration, is
to deny any understanding of the nat-

the most universal quality is diversity.’

“This quality of diversity thus be-

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933)
was a major innovator in stained
glass design, and according to Dr.
Percival R. Roberts III, Chairman of
the Art Department at Bloomsburg
State College, began his career as a
painter, the training of which permitted him to think and design in terms
of plastic forms, color and texture.
Tiffany experimented widely with various effects. His own romantic originality combined with his almost sensuous regard for the preciousness of

medium,

glass and its decoration,
contribute to the remarkable efthe incifectiveness of his work
glass
dental effects and cased
techniques for which he is famous.
The splendidi specimen given to
the college exhibits all these fine qualities, the multi-hued layers of stained
glass, the three dimensional effect of
depth, the ripple glass and streaked
color create an almost mystical or,
by today’s optical standards, psychedelic effect. Dr. Roberts, who teaches
American Art History, finds Tiffany
convenient to lecture on, since stylistically and historically he represents
somewhat of a bridge between the
high Victorian tastes of his day and
the
more avant-garde tendencies
found in the emerging organic forms
oi the Art Nouveau with perhaps some
traces of inspiration from the Orient.
Dr. Roberts finds the subtle hues,
achieved by the use of copper to produce a soft luster, and the gentle
forms a pleasure to study. The overall quality he says is “not assertative,
it doesn’t dazzle but rather moves the
viewer with its diffused iridescence.”
The total mocd projected is one of
quietude without glaring, completely
in harmony with nature and the contemplative spirit one would expect in
a Humanities’ Hall.

Dr. David N. Newbury, 4852 Iowa
Drive, Warren. Michigan 48092, has
recently co-authored a book which relates teacher contract negotiations to
effective learning for school children.
The book is entitled, “Teacher Negotiations:
A Guide for Bargaining
Teams.” The guide was written in
collaboration with Dr. William C. Miller, who, like Newbury, is a Detriot
area school administrator.

The book is considered unique in
educational circles since it is one of
the first to attempt to connect the
growing practice of teacher bargaining with research on effective learning
of students.
It is published by the
Parker Division of Prentice-Hall Publishers and is aimed at the national
market of public and college educators, as well as school board members, who are concerned with teacher
negotiations.

Newbury has previously published
articles on such topics as the history
of iron mining at Danville, Penna.,
federal aid to education, science ed-

ucation, dropout prevention, and vocational education.
After military service in Korea and

Japan he completed a Master’s Degree at Bucknell University in 1956.

WHY A WILL?
Many alumni have asked why
Bloomsburg State College is interested
in informing them about wills and
estate planning. There are two simple answers to that question.
First, Bloomsburg State College is
an educational institution, and our
primary purpose is to educate. The
Bloomsburg State College experience
has already provided our alumnae
with their basic education, and we
are concerned with their continuing
education in matters which relate to
their personal well-being and that of
their loved ones.
A recent survey in the United States
came up with some interesting facts
about estate planning:
1.
Seven out of every adults die
intestate (without a valid will)
2. Less than 50 per cent of those
with estates of $60,000 or

idence Hall.
For nearly two decades, the Husky
Lounge in Waller Hall had served as
the center of student activities. However, as the student enrollment grew
steadily during the past decade, it became apparent that a completely new
designed
structure
and specially
would be needed to accommodate a
college enrollment of 5.600 - 6,000.
When plans were designed for a new
student center, the old Husky Lounge
occupied part of the site which will be
needed for construction. The student
union board immediately sought temporary headquarters to program student activities, and the former College

Commons, built in 1956, became available when Scranton Commons was

INCREASE IN TUITION
The Board

of Trustes of

Bloomsburg

State College, in its regular monthly
meeting held recently, approved an
increase in the basic fee paid by students from the present $350 to $450, an
increase of $100 per year; subsequently this fee increase has been approved
by Satte Secretary of Education. Increase is in keeping with action previously taken by a majority of the
Boards of Trustees of the thirteen
State Colleges and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and is essential
in assuring the funds necessary to
balance the operating budget of the
College for the 1969-1970 fiscal year.
The $100 fee increase for the 19691970 college year wall be paid by the
students of Bloomsburg State Collgeg
in the Basic Fee payment for the Sec-

ond Semester, which began January
1970.
Out-of-state students, currently paying $25 per credit hour, will
be charged $30 per credit hour; graduate students will have an increase
from $20 to $25 per credit hour, and
undergraduate fees for part-time students will be increased from the present $15 to $18 per credit hour. Sub26,

sequent semesters, however, will be
charged at the $50 per semester increase rate.
At its meeting on October 24, 1969,
the Board of Trustees had delayed
action on the passage of a fee increase, pending further study. During
the intervening weeks, a thorough investigation for the rationale of a fee
increase was made, exploring various
possibilities for avoiding it. On November 10, 1969, Board President William A. Lank and President Robert J.
Nossen met with College Council
members to review with them the current financial status of the College,
pointing out that the passage of the fee
increase at Bloomsburg was essential
to the current and future operation of
the College.
A report from the College Business
Manager showed that, withont the
increase in fees, the College would be

unable to meet its
ities for 1969-1970.
out that

fiscal

responsibil-

The report pointed
even though every step had

been taken to curtail expenses to provide reserve funds for necessary items
of instruction and operation, a sufficient amount did not exist to cover minimal operation for the balance of the
academic year without the above-mentioned fee increase.
It is pertinent to note that, cutbacks
notwithstanding, support of higher education within the Commonwealth has
risen over the past years more than
450%, and the budget figure for the
current year will well exceed six hundred million dollars. With the fee in-,
crease, the student share of operating
costs at Bloomsburg,
exclusive of
capital construction, will approximate

a

more than 25%.

Part of this
also covered by State Scholarships and other financial aids.
Following the November 21, 1969
meeting, Mr. Lank stated, “The
Board of Trustes of Bloomsburg State
College regrets the necessity for such
action, but it nevertheless, bears the
responsibility to the College in providing a sound fiscal operation.”
A recent survey made by the Office
of Institutional Research of the Association of State Universities and
Land Grant Colleges disclosed that
tuition charges at the nation’s major
public colleges and universities rose
this year at a record rate of 16.5%. It
pointed out that tuition and fees at 113
institutions belonging to the National
Association of State Universities and
Land Grant Colleges registered the
16.5% hike and 261 institutions affiliated with the American Association
of State Colleges and Universities
showed a 14% rise in these charges.

Yet in a world dominated

by the rapidity of communication, such is virtually inevitable.
In spite of difficulties in some areas, we have had a good year. The Senate
for the first time convened and brought together faculty, students, and admin
istrators to share a role in the governing process^. Initially, it reviewed the
myriad details and concerns that make up an academic community; it recommended policies from “moonlighting' to plagiarism; it established standing committees to assure orderly procedures for future operation.
Just this month we received notice of approval for our program leading to
the M.S. in Biology.
We have continued to review our curricular patterns,
broaden general education requirements, and consider each of our course offerings.
We shall continue for some time with this phase of our operation, establishing objectives, working to improve classroom teaching, keeping offering.;

might fulfill our responsibilities. We initiated, too, a program of Continuing
Education, and though modest at present, it should become of increasing concern
through the years ahead.
Perhaps the best way to assess the end of an academic year is to ask our-

And while we are concerned for survival, let us not forget that we must

therefore our touch wdth the past; we must remember history as group memory,
and philosophy as the art and science of reflection and of probing into the unknown.

Sir Philip Sidney wrote, we can explore not only what has been, what is, and
what will be, but also what might have been, what should be, and what could be.

a sequel to the association gathering.
Mr. Fenstemaker extended greetings and the invocation was offered
by Fred W. Diehl, Danville.
William H. Cluley, president of the
1971 graduating class, presented a
check to the alumni association and a*,
the same time issued a challenge to
the older alumni to “’try to understand” the involvement of students today and their concern ’’not only on the
campus but in the community.”
He cited student work in the fields of
pollution, special education, and efforts to "get down in the classroom”
and “help with the problem.”
Cluley advised, “Don’t accept any
person not willing to sit down and talk
over the confrontation of the prob-

lem.”

The Class of 1971’s check was for
more than required for association membership. This fact and the

$800,

fact that the class has also made a
contribution to the Bloomsburg Hospital was lauded by Dr. Robert J.
Nossen, president of the college, during his remarks later. He cited the
contributions as an indication of the
class’s civic-mindedness.

Dr. Kimber Kuster, chairman of the
association’s DSA committee, replied
briefly to Cluley, observing that his
generation was of the“same clay” as
others and that there was really not
much difference in the two age groups.

that the so-called “productive

Known facetiously as the Twilight
Years, the 70’s are associated with
sagacity, experience and indifference.
Such is not the case for Mrs. Kathryn Gronka Wilkie of 2122 East Main
Street, Glen Lyon.
At the age of 70, she has become an
authoress of a 550-page first novel,
“The Three Virgins,” which was released for publication Jan. 15, 1971, by
the Vantage Press Inc., New York
City.

I had accomplished something during

teaching thousands in the Newport

THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE
In 1966, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
brought out its first comprehensive Master Plan
for Higher Education, and at that time called
for a review and a revision within four years.
During these past two years Task Forces and
other groups worked towards the development of
that Plan, and a short time ago, the 1971 version

appeared. Some of the more significant parts
are the following.

be hoped, however, that loan
who have
provisions and scholarship provisions will be such that those students
sought, through public institutions, both social and vocational mobility, will not be
hampered. The Master Plan ultimately should come forth with a meaningful philosophy of public higher education, in addition to its concern for independent institutions.
The Plan calls for greater emphasis on Continuing Education. During the past
year, this College appointed a Director of Summer Sessions and Continuing Education,
and tried to take its part in this vital area of educational concern. In a world in
which occupations are changing rapidly and radically, the major hope for man:
individuals is flexibility achieved through a continuing process of learning.
The Master Plan is cognizant of the need for further educational opportunities for
the disadvantaged. Bloomsburg has assumed responsibility for trying to provide such
educational opportunities but the process is costly, and financial support has not
been forthcoming. Nevertheless, this College will continue to do what it can to provide
meaningful opportunities.
There has been emphasis upon the need for cooperative endeavors regionally
with public and private working together. This past year has seen meaningful cooperation among all segments of higher education, a degree cf corporation w’hich, heretoMore, of course, is needed, but the coming era will

receiving an

is to

see the emergence of regional consortia.
Finally, the Master Plan calls for a Board from the various segments of higher
education to advise the Council on Higher Education. I have, I am pleased to say,
been asked to serve in this capacity. This is a meaningful step towards better communication among all segments of higher education, and among the institutions, the

and the legislature.
The Master Plan indicates the need for private support of public education. As I
am sure all of you recall. The Bloomsburg Foundation was established during the
past academic year in an attempt to gain private funds for those things that the State

public,

either cannot or should not undertake.

In keeping with the efforts of the Foundation,

Alumni Association has turned over to the College all fund-raising activities. You
will be hearing more about this; the need is great to provide many of the educational
the

services for which only private monies can be used.

CAMPUS BUILDING
PROGRAM CONTINUES
by Boyd F. Buckingham

Alumni returning to campus for Homecoming Day
Activities on October 9 will notice several changes in
both the Upper and Lower Campus areas.
Six new projects are curently under construction at an
estimated cost of $7,200,000, and several others are in
either the planning or design stage.
The new Gymnasium on the Upper Campus is expected
to be completed before the end of this year at a cost of
$2,435,000. The gym will provide areas for varsity basketball, wrestling, and swimming as well as health and
physical education classes and intramural activities.
Nearly $200,000 worth of movable equipment must be installed before the gym will be completely ready for use.

$1,000,000 is being spent to install utilities,

roads, and parking areas on the Upper Campus. Although
this project will not be completed before July, 1972, it is
expected that a 350,000 gallon reservoir and utilities in
some areas will be finished earlier to accomodate the
the new gym next spring. The utilities will be installed in
sites, wiiere new' classroom buildings, residence halls, a
dining room, and other projects are to be constructed in
the future.

Bloomsburg State College

Someone once asked Ernest Hemingway, “What is the best early trainHemingway reing for a writer?”

“An unhappy

childhood.”
childhoods are unremarkably uniform these days, teachers of composition face a tough challenge. It isn’t like the good old days
when Lafayette College threw out
Stephen Crane and Lehigh University bounced Richard Harding Davis.
Bloomsburg State College this year
launched a new idea in teaching composition that may not produce Stephen
Cranes or Hemingways, but it won’t
discourage them, either, and it will
save the patience of everyone.
What Bloomsburg found in its freshmen is puzzling, yet true. Because of
higher admissions standards and better high schools in Pennsylvania, the
quality of writing composition by the
average freshman is up. Certainly
there are fewer F-rated writers getting into college. However, the reading background of freshmen has not
improved that much, if at all. The
paradox is that so many college freshmen are half-decent writers but indifferent readers.
The Bloomsburg English Department of 25 professors decided to junk
the worn-out system of inflicting a dull
English Composition course on everyone. Now tests are given, and at least
half the incoming class goes right into

a small number of students
have begun their college experience
at

Bloomsburg State in late June.
In the summer freshman program

at

BSC a student begins college dursummer main session, taking a

math and an English composition
course. He also takes a course of his
choice during post session, which begins in August, then returns to school
on a regular basis in January if he
meets the requirements of the sum-

the program was aimed
giving students with a scholastic
weakness, who would not otherwise
be admitted to college, a chance at
higher education.

Current Director
of Admissions, T. L. Cooper, presently
in charge of the program, stated “as
the program has grown, the quality
of the incoming summer freshmen
has improved.”

Cooper
noted,
the
summer freshmen were referred to
as “trial freshmen” or as “probationary freshmen,” which as things
go on campuses, led to somewhat
derogatory nicknames like “proby.”

These factors. Cooper said, aid the
student in doing as well as he can.
Residing on campus, for instance,
provides easy access to the library,
the help of other students, and morning classes.
Prohibiting autos can
aid in keeping the student’s mind on
studying.
Requiring a “C” average
keeps the student from starting off on
the wrong foot, builds his confidence,
and helps him when he enters the

Researching ‘Success’
John L. Walker.former director of

indicates the program has been successful.
Walker noted that a study

“We

live in an age of mediocrity
widespread mediocrity in key
places in business or education and
even in the armed forces, can be deadening, even destructive, to any country,” Dr. John A. Hoch told the grad-

and

uating seniors of Bloomsburg State
College at the May 30 commencement
exercises held at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds.
Dr. Hoch, Vice President and Dean
of the Faculties, said a few of the
causes of mediocrity in many instances are the result of labor union regu-

by seniority of
unqualified politicians and non-interested voters, broad results of taxation
policies and the adjustment of school
curriculum to the ability of the average or below-average pupils.
“We have moved almost unconsciously toward achieving the greatest
good for the greatest number,” he
said, “but we have neglected that

in the past been attainable and attained. For Americans it is at the moment vital to provide a cultural climate

culture.”

Following the awarding of degrees,
which included 23 Master of Education
degrees and 491 bachelor degrees,
William A. Oluley, President of the
Class of 1971, delivered the response.
He pointed out that as a result of the

but two hills.
He also cited the growth of the college in terms of enrollment and in the
development of the fraternity and
sorority system, but said it is not
on these that B.S.C. should place its
greatest emphasis.
“In the final analysis” he declared
“any college must stake its reputation

the community and the alumni.
Every
policy, every procedure, every phase of
our operation will be open to question and evaluation; planning, specifically,
will be directed towards the years 1975, 1980, and 2000. Hopefully, accumulated

this is not conductive to sound learning experience.
College students and faculty need a

break between New Year’s and June.
It would be advantageous to have this
break come between two terms rather
than within a term. Furthermore, as
a college grows, more time is needed
between terms for the processing of
grades; as a result, this requires a
recess between terms. It is economical to have such administrative vacations coincide with natural vacation
periods.
Under the semester plan which
Bloomsburg has followed, the student
carries five, six or even seven courses
at one time. Since most courses meet
three hours a week there is a tendency
to concentrate classes on
Monday,

Wednesday and Friday. As a result,
the Bloomsburg calendar discourages
an even flow

and student

energies through the week, and it requires that both faculty and students
handle more courses at one time than
can be dealt with efficiently.
These and other considerations
might make it desirable to have a
calendar which divides
the
nine
months into three terms, with a vacation at the end of each of the terms. In
such a calendar a student and a faculty member would be responsible for
fewer courses in any term.
The
quarter system can achieve this, but
it requires
a late fall start, and a
spring term which closes well into
June, if a term is to close at Christ-

A

modification of the quarter sys-

is under discussion, one which
might provide a solution; but it is at
the sacrifice of symmetry.
The final examination periods under
such a plan would be shorter in duration, yet provide more time for serious preparation. Because of the reduced number of classes carried by a
faculty member, there would be more

efficient opportunity for utilization of
faculty energies in examinations.

The semester hour is a common
measure of courses; the semester hour
traditionally represents a class exercise of one hour per week for a semester.
Traditionally, a semester represents half of a nine-month academic year.
After deducting holidays,
vacations, registration periods, examination pericds and other necessary
activities, a nine-month period nets

final examination for each semester

the viewpoint regarding a semester

Other principles to be observed in

if the term

A student should not have too many
courses at one time.
Students at
Bloomsburg have had five, six or even
seven courses; three or four courses

Robert B. Casey, state auditor general, has agreed to a suggestion by
Dr. Robert J. Nossen, BSC president,
that “it would be helpful to hold an
early meeting of representatives of
the several state college foundations,
and other appropriate state officers
to review the functions of the foundaestablishing
tions with an aim of
proper guidelines for their operation.’’
Dr. Nossen’s suggestion followed an

exchange of letters concerning recommendations made by the auditor
general’s office in a report of an audit of the Bloomsburg Foundation in
first state

It was the
audit

of

and the report stressed the legal
questions concerning interpertation of
the law as it applies to foundations.
It also recommended action to prevent the possible co-mingling of College and Commonwealth funds.
The auditor general stated that “the
Foundation, as a separate and distinct
legal entity, is entitled to receive
gifts, grants and other moneys it applies for, solicits, or receives in its
own name.” He contended, however,
that “any gifts or grants received by
the College in its own right should remain within the control of the college.”

grantors.
The audit report also recommended

report recommended that a distinct

The auditor general suggested also
that a legal ruling be obtained on
whether Federal grants could be placed in the Foundation account or whether all such grants should be transferred to the Commonwealth.

office.

The audit report

also raised the
question of interlocking directorships
and recommended that they be discontinued to eliminate any actual or potential conflict of interest.

The

inter-

locking directorships referred to concerned William Lank, member of the
Board of Trustees, and President Nossen, an officer and director respectively of the United Penn Bank, one of
the depositories for College funds.

Dr. Nossen informed Casey that
prior to his accepting a position on
the advisory board of the United
Penn Bank, he had consulted the office of the state Attorney General. He
said the then Deputy Attorney General William G. Williams had advised
him informally that he “saw no legal
difficulties.” Dr. Nossen also pointed
out that the United Penn
Bank is
only one of several depositories for
college funds, the major depository
is and has been the Bloomsburg BankColumbia Trust Co.

Dr. Nossen, in his letter to Casey,
stated that “we have believed, and
continue to believe, that the Foundaprovides the most efficient
tion
method for handing a series of heretofore scattered College accounts.
Casey’s press seretary stated that
the audit of the Blomsburg Foundation just happened to be the first one
made and that all State College Foundations will be audited.
Dr. Nossen stressed the need for
private funds to enable the college to
Alumfulfill several of its objectives.
ni gifts now are deposited directly
with the Foundation which, in turn,
guarantees operating capital for the
Alumni Association. Hopefully, alumni will respond to the basic need of

Dr. Nossen stated that the Founda"was deliberately established to

that could not otherwise be accomodated;

presentation of Dr. George B.
Redfern, Associate Secretary. American Association of School Administrators, speaking to school administrators
and supervisors meeting in a symposium on instructional accountability
meeting at BSC October 28 - 29.
Dr. Redfern, in promoting the concept of evaluation by objectives or
job targets, stressed the need to clearly understand duties and responsibilities. An analysis of the expectancies
of the position will reveal needs, areas that should be improved. This will
lead to the formation of specific per-

formance objectives.

Planned action

achieve the goals makes it necessary to tie supervision and assessment closer together. Goal assessment requires bi-lateral action by the
teacher and his evaluator, i.e. selfassessment and estimates of accomplishment by his evaluator. The entire
process culminates in an evaluation
conference by the two parties.
“Performance objectives evaluation.” said Dr. Redfern, “will necessarily change the roles of supervisors
to

and principals.” Uni-lateral onerway
assessments will be de-emphasized.
The evaluator will become less of an
“instructional umpire” and more of a
“diagnostician, coach, facilitator, exand helper.”
Some of the outcomes of evaluation
by objectives, concluded Dr. Redfern,
will be clearer understanding of Job
expectancies, more emphasis upon
professional growth and development,
better communication, higher motivation, and a closer coordination of objectives of the school system and the
personal and professional goals of the

Coaches Named For Wrestling, Basketball

Charles Chronister, former assistant basketball coach at Gettysburg
College, launches his career as a college head basketball coach, taking
over the reins at BSC from Earl Voss,
who has joined the Physical Education
Department at West Chester State
College as assistant basketball coach.
A native of East Berlin, Pennsylvania,
Chronister attended Bermudian
Springs High School where he was a
standout athlete. He matriculated at
East Stroudsburg State College, and
played varsity basketball and baseball for the Warriors. He earned both
his Bachelor of Science and Master
of Science dergees in Health and
Physical Education at ESSC.
Dring the 1962-63 season at East
Stroudsburg, he served as freshman
basketball coach and guided the team
to a 17-2 record. He went to Gettysburg after three successful years at
Hanover (Pa.) High School. At Hanover, his jayvee and varsity teams
were 59-9 while winning county championships and participating in the
PIAA District in Class A playoffs.
In addition to coaching the freshm'an
team at Gettysburg, one of his chief
responsibilities was recruiting talent
for head coach Bob Hulton. This aspect of his coaching career should enable him to oversee and participate in
the obtaining of future talent for BSC.
Chronister is married to the former
Carol L. Strausbaugh of Hanover, Pa.
They have two daughters, Lee Ann

age 4 and Garyn Lynn age

2.

The

Chronisters reside at 1248 Old Berwick

In analyzing the team’s prospects
at this early stage. Coach Chronister
feels that the Huskies will be right in
there fighting for the top spot in the

tough Pennsylvania Conference. “We
have the talent to do the job, providing we can put it all together,” he
stated. His main concern in the early
practice sessions

is for

the players to

adapt to his style of play, and learning the different strengths and attri-

Assisting Hinkle will be James McCue, a veteran wrestler during the
past four years at Bloomsburg. As a
sophomore, he was Pennsylvania State
College champion, and last year he

injured his shoulder and was unable
to continue in competition.
He remains at the college, however, completing degree requirements. Training
for the wrestling season is now under

BOR TUCKER ONE OF
NFL’s TOP RECEIVERS
By Tom Huntington
Sports Edi'or. Berwick Enterprise
Guess who is one of the tri-leaders
in pass receiving in the National Conference of the NFL?
It’s not Gene Washington of the San
Francisco 49ers nor Bob Hayes of the
Dallas Cowboys. It’s Bob Tucker of
Bloomsburg State College, Pbttstown
Firebirds and Hazleton vintage.
Tucker, the New York Giants’ tight
end, has 34 catches for 373 yards. Of
course. Ted Kwalick, 49ers, and Dick
Gordon, Chicago, have more yardage,
465 and 469 respectively, but they too
have 34 receptions which leaves the
three in a flatfooted tie.
However, of the three, Tucker came
into the NFL the less heralded.
Bloomsburg State isn’t the most famous name in college footballand Tucker stuggled for three years in the minor leagues, being rejected twice by the
Philadelphia Eagles, before the Giants recognized that here was an end
with potential.
One of the big knocks that the Eagles had against Tucker was that he
couldn’t run and he couldn’t block.
There was no question about his ability to snatch a football out of mid-air.
His acrobatic catches while at BSC
have yet to be duplicated.
Now, after four years of hard work
to improve himself, no one is saying
Tucker can’t block or run with the
football.
In fact, he’s being boomed
for All-Pro!
In an article which appeared in the
New York Daily News, written by

Larry Fox, Fran Tarkenton was quoted as saving:
“Without question, Bob’s the best
tight end in football,” Tarkenton said.
“There’s not one who can block with
him especially with the way he handles those big defensive ends like Eller
and Humphreys: he never drops the
football, and he can run with it once
he catches it.
“There he is, up there among the
leading receivers even though he’s
missed two games and even though
our opponents know I’m going to be
throwing to him. If he doesn’t make
all-pro there’s something wrong”.

Tarkenton is not an altogether disinterested observer.
Tucker is not
only his teammate and favorite target (twice as many catches as any
ether Giant), but also his roomie on
the road where they while away the
hours playing either a juvenile game
called Battleship, or chess. Tucker is
the chess master known for his nonstop series with on Johnson and he’s
initiating Tarkenton into the game.
Alex Webster seconds Tarkenton’s
of Tucker, pointing out that
“he can catch the football and also do
what a tight end has to do
block;
you get very few who can do both.”

recognize and include Afro-Americans
in the social studies curriculum.
The keynote address, “Introducing
Afro-American Studies Into the Curriculum for Teachers,” given by William Green, curriculum specialist in
African and Afro-American Studies
in the Philadelphia School District.
Green, in his talk, pointed out that
the history of Africans and Afro-Americans has been omitted, distorted
and presented in such a biased manner that myths and stereotypes have
become the central core of a racist
ideology which has denied a sense
of humanity to the person of African
ancestry.

my

personal sorrow for the recent loss of Dr. Kimfoer

C. Kuster.
I first

came

to

know Dr. Kuster

as a fellow student in the

fall

of 1910.

We

were both day students, and our headquarters were the “Check Room,”
a dingy area in the basement of Noetling Hall. I spent a week-end at his
home, and he, in turn, spent a week-ent at my home.
After graduation, our paths separated for several years, until he returned
Bloomsburg as a member of the faculty, following the retirement of
Professor Hartline.
We worked together as colleagues on the faculty, as members of the
same church, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Assn.
Dr. Kuster did a wonderful piece of work as Chairman of the Awards
Committee. He handled all of the countless details involved in selecting the
recipients of the Distinguished Service Award.
Dr. Kuster was also very active in community affairs. He served for
several years as Chairman of the Bloomsburg Chapter of the Red Cross. He
also was active in many other organizations in Bloomsburg.
We are happy that his name will be perpetuated in the Kuster Auditorium of the Hartline Center, thus joining the names of two persons who have
loomed large in the history of the Bloomsburg State College.
This is my personal tribute to a man whom I shall always remember as
a beloved friend.

At that precise moment a neighborly hare hounded him to have a race.
Reckless in his zeal to answer the challenge, the turtle neglected Mr. Aesop’s
appeal.
When he won the race against overwhelming odds, the Director of
Alumni Affairs had no biography for his 16-page, quarterly edition of the
Alumni Quarterly, and although the race became famous, the turtle did not.
