BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania 17815 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Alumni The following comments are excerpted from my opening presentation on our Program Budget review, January 25, 1972. Bloomsburg State College is making every attempt to keep abreast of meaningful changes, to develop long range plans, and to offer valid p\iblic higher educational opportunities to citizens of the Commonwealth at the lowest possible cost both to The past two years have seen a the individual and to the State. broadening of the governance process including the development of a College Senate, further decentralization of decision-making process through strengthening school and departmental organization, more flexible approaches to curricula and programs, the close evaluation of all offerings and the development of new instructional methods. , , The College does not consider size as a meaningful objective in itself; growth in numbers is directly relative to support and to mission. Demand for admission continues to increase, but plans for the coming year do not, at this point, include expansion, in keeping with our understanding of the Governor's guidelines for State-owned institutions. The College plans to concentrate in the current decade on serving the needs of the Commonwealth in the following specific ways: to continue to develop elementary and secondary teachers of quality, and teachers of Special Education areas for which the need remains significant; to meet some of the manpower needs of the Allied Health fields, a particular mission of this College in view of its proximity to and Cooperation with The Geisinger Medical Center; to continue, through the Arts and Sciences, the development of young men and women capable of fulfilling roles of citizenship, roles of leadership, and lives with meaning; to offer strong programs in both Business Education and Business Administration, and possibly other occupation-oriented fields, to utilize its facilities and its resources for purposes of Continuing Education so that life-long learning opportunities may be available to the people of this area; to provide within its resources, opportunities for those with ability not identifiable through traditional procedures of evaluation; and to offer graduate programs in selected areas within its resources, mission, and capabilities. For three years players and spectators alike could usually find out where the ball was by watching B.S.C.’s big No. 47 Bob Warner. An All-Conference back for two years, Bob has been drafted by the Denver — Bronchos. Warner Is Drafted by Denver; Tucker Top Pass Receiver For two years Bob Tucker was the BSC alumnus in pro football. Next season he expects to have com- only pany. Soon after Tucker became the first end in National Football League history to win the pass receiving title, tight Bob Warner became the first BSC football player to be drafted by the pros. Warner was the 13th-round pick by the Denver Broncos. Tucker came up the hard way, spending two years in the Atlantic Coast league before catching on with the New York Giants In 1970. He had failed in previous trials with the Boston Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles. “The hardest thing is experience,’’ he commented. “You have to gain the experience and I didn’t have it.’’ Those two years gave ’Tucker the A’TTENTION— 1971 GRADUATES The August, 1971, graduates of BSC were omitted from the mailing of the 1971 Obiter because the list was not included with the maiding labels suppled to the publisher. A special mailing of Obiters to the August graduates is now underway. Any 1971 January or May graduates who have not yet received a copy of the 1971 Obiter should advise the staff by writing to Box 219, BSC. It should be noted that addresses for mading are provided by the computer center, and are those addresses of record prior to graduation. In most cases the addresses are those of parents, and a check should be made with parents or at former addresses before reporting the Obiter has not been received. MARCH, experience he needed, and in his first season with the Giants he caught 40 passes for 571 yards and finished fourth in the voting for NFL rookieof-the-year honors. His 6’3’’ 230-pound frame helped, because a tight end also has to block big linemen and linebackers. Warner is almost the same size as Tucker, and the BSC coach thinks he might also wdnd up as a tight end. “With his strength, hands and blocking ability, he would make an excellent tight end; his quickness, size, upper body strength and football Instincts give hie the qualities of a great outside linebacker,’’ Sproule says. But at Bloomsburg Warner was a running back, one of the top Penn Conference backs for three years. He played his high school football at — and the Administration building on the site of the former Dillon House. It is hoped that both will be ready for inspection by visiting Alumni on April 22.

The Broncos appear to be interested in Warner as a running back. Coach Sproule points out. He says Denver is looking for a big running back and that Bob is well above the average size for running backs.

Is READING CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN MID-APRIL Now An Teaching Deaf Dance Group By Karen Keinard, B.S.C. Student Piilfillment is something strive for, but few of us find daily work. we all in our it Dr. Peter Wisher, originator of the deaf Gallaudet College dance group appeared at Bloomsburg State College in February is one who has that found great personal satisfaction in his profession. Orginally from Frackville, Wisher coached basketball at Bloomsburg High School and later at BSC. He then moved out of the area to Penn State and the University of Maryland. He has coached basketball, gymnastics, soccer, and swimming, and he developed a sign language for frogmen while in the Navy Reserves. Now, as Chairman of the Gallaudet College Department of Physical Education, Dr. Wisher is happy working with an all-deaf student enrollment. The curriculum at Gallaudet is basically the same as at other liberal arts colleges, so he doesn’t find the situation much different from some of his past teaching and coaching experi- ences. Gallaudet College is the only college in the world devoted exclusively to the education of the deaf. It has an enrollment of about 1,000 students in There are a 50-50 male-female ratio. ten sports in their athletic program which they play with all-hearing colleges. Dr. Wisher has been WIDOW OF DR. around the HAAS DIES AT HERSHEY Mrs. Miriam Rider Haas, 78, widow of Dr. Francis B. Haas, former president of Bloomsburg State Teachers College, died recently in Hershey. Mrs. Haas was a resident of Bloomsburg from 1927 to 1939, the years her husband was president of the college. Dr. Haas, for whom the Francis B. Haas Center for the Arts on campus was named, twice served as superintendent of the state Department of Public Instruction, under which state teachers colleges operated. He held that post from 1925-1927 under Gov. Gifford Pinchot, and following his tenure as president of BSTC, returned to it in 1939 and continued as superintendent untU 1956. He served in the Department of Public Instruction world, and has had many career opportunities. StiU he finds his greatest satisfaction at Gallaudet, “I would not trade my job for anything,” he says. What does he find at Gallaudet that keeps him there? How can he enjoy working with people who cannot hear? Wisher admits that when he was first offered the position at athletic director, he had a few reservations. How ever, since it was a job, and it was a change he tried it out. There have been a few problems. When he arrived at Gallaudet they gave him a two-week course in communicating and then he was sent straight to work. It wasn’t easy. He admits he got his signals crossed more than once while attempting to explain a technique. There are other problems little that pop up now and then, too, especially during the group’s travels. Getting them up in the morning is an example. What can he do when he’s on the other side of a locked motel door? Knock? He has to find a maid or motel employee with a pass key. Imagine a deaf girl walking into the ladies the flight room at the airport just as . . occasional difficult situations, there is no place in the world he would rather be. “They are the kindest most humble people I have ever worked with. They appreciate what it means to be alive more than the average person. They are average people who happen to be deaf, not deaf and dumb. A deaf person is just as human as one with normal hearing, a fact that too many people refuse to recognize,” he said.

Faculty “Our Republic is in trouble and we can no longer sweep the pieces under the rug and hope the trouble will disappear, because this time it will not disappear,” The Honorable Shirley Chisholm, first black Congresswoman in the United States and candidate for her party’s nomination as President of the United States, told an at applauding crowd overflowing, Bloomsburg State College, February 14, in an address sponsored by the Black Student Association of the Col- lege. Receiving a standing ovation when she entered the auditorium and again when she was introduced, Mrs. Chisholm explained why she, a black woman, was defying tradition by running for a position that has been dominated by white males. Her decision is her response to the confusion throughout the land that afflicts us all. she said. Moreover, it is a response to the confusion specifically among the blacks, women, chicanos and the Finally, she said, it nation’s youth. is response to the greatest enemy confronting the U.S. today, “not the Viet Nam war but racism.” “Fighting Shirley,” as she likes to refer to herself, then went on to say that blacks in this country have reached the tolerance level. “We are sick of tokenism. We want our just share of the American dream and we want it now. What do we black people want now? No more nor less than what every ethnic group came here for. To realize some of the hopes and to achieve some of the aspirations promised by this land of the free and home of the brave.” Continuing, she said black people cannot realize why the American dream should be denied to them simply because they lack the passport of those groups who came from Europe ... a white skin. During the course of her talk, Mrs. Chisholm admitted her hostility toward the concept of “Brotherhood Week.” “If we have a democracy, if we believe in the Judeo-Christian doctrines that we mention so much in our rhetoric, why do we need ‘Brotherhood Week’? I’ll tell you why. We need it to assuage the consciences of those who practice brotherhood during ‘Brotherhood Week’ and racism the other 51 weeks of the There is shame and hypocracy in this approach,” she said, and added, “this is one reason why foreign countries, into which we pour millions year. no longer respect us. living a lie.” In explaining why she was running for the nomination for presidency. Mrs. Chisholm characterized her candidacy as a combination of the roles of spokesman and instrument. “I am running,” she said, “to speak for the brilliant blacks, women. Indians and Chicanos. so long ignored, but who now should get to operate the ship of of dollars of aid, They know we are MARCH, 1972 state. For these groups realize the is in danger and feel they Republic can give the sense of direction that She also said, “I am the is needed.” instrument who, with these people and on teir behalf, will go to the Democratic Convention. This coalition of blacks, women, Indians and Chicanos v/ill point out to the Convention that this is a government of the people the people, not bosses. That it is government by us and for us.” Referring to past practices at presidential nominating conventions, Mrs. Chisholm said; “No one consulted the blacks when putting together a presidential ticket. The women were not consulted, either. And the Indians have not even gotten into the Conven. . . tion as yet. This time,” she promised, “we can go to the convention, not asking for crumbs while others are having a banquet. This America is ours! I am going to the convention to see if we can turn that convention around.” Mrs. Chisholm attacked the other presidential candidates in her party for their “Madison Avenue” approach as well as for their appeals for votes. “Now that they want votes these candidates are for women’s rights, for the young, as well as for others. Where were they before? What did they do for these ignored groups in their public roles before this election year,” she asked caustically. She admitted her candidacy was “I know not without its handicaps. I am a dark horse, figuratively and literally,” she quipped. The problem arises due to what she referred to as the psychological shock that afflicts people when a black woman seeks to enter the white male’s domain of the presidency. “Under the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to run,” she said. In her appeal for help, Mrs. Chis- holm made a special plea to women, admonishing them to participate by starting to run for political office under the slogan, “Save America’s Chil dren,” adding that she needed their help in Congress “so men won’t sincker when I get up to talk for day care centers.” She said if women could have accompanied her on trips to Appalachia and have seen the under-, nourished children while the political system responds to vested interest groups, they would not be content to talk a lot and then vote for the candidates promising “warmed-over” pro- grams. She also directed a special appeal to the young who are disenchanted with the system, and who say it should be destroyed. “I am the system.” she said, “but I am patient. In the system you see its weaknesses as well as the tactics of those the system rewards,” she said, “and now I am pointing out the weaknesses and using the tactics on behalf of ignored groups.” She pointed out that though she is part of the system, nevertheless, she Shirley Chisholm change and not in the traditional “I am a shaker-up of the system within the system.” To suggestions that she should withdraw so as not to divide votes that is for way. might go to Senators McCarthy, McGovern or Mayor Lindsay, Mrs. Chisholm said it was “always easier to ask the black one to get out.” Her reply was that those three candidates “Since I am the all look the same. only unique one, why don’t one of them get out?” she asked. In the brief question and answer period Mrs. Chisholm said she favored legal and therapeutic abortion. This she said was her feeling because wherever you have women there will be abortions. Without legal abortion aid. many women will die or be maimed by “quacks.” Therefore, she said, abortion should be available to any women seeking it. Those whose religions or consciences repect abortions, she said, would not be forced to have abortions. “These same people,” she said, “should not dictate that their values should bind other people.” Concerning the war in Vietnam, she said as President she would “end the war forthwith.” She was applauded as she answered: “We have lost too many good men in that war. We have made an error by getting into it. Let us admit it and get out.” EARN MASTER’S DEGREES BSC graduates who earned master’s degree at Shippensburg State College on August 6, 1971 are: Dana R.

During the last year (1967) of the existence of the campus laboratory school, locailly known as the “Training School”, he traced the history of the training of teachers and the education of children on the campus of Bloomsburg. This encompassed a period from 1867 to 1967, a full century of teacher education. He also recorded the history of the Benjamin Franklin P.T.A., both compilations appeared as publications in the Morning Press and the BSC Alumni Quarterly. Other publications were “Soliloquy of a Slow Learner” in the PSEA Journal, and “Organiza- Progress” in the Pennsylvania Elementary Principal. Professor Roberts is currently teaching social studies in the curriculum block in the Elementary Education program. He is co-advisor to the College Chapter of the Student Pennsylvania State Education Association, acting advisor to sophomores who have elected Elementary Education as a major, advisor to graduate students, and assistant chairman for the Annual Reading Conference. Roberts opines that he would like to occupy his time after retirement in a manner somewhat removed from teaching such as carpentry, block or bricklaying, or possibly catching up on reading some good down-to-earth adventure novels. Professor Roberts is married to the former Betty Vanderslice: they have three children. Jack, Tferry, and Barbara (Mrs. Ray Crawford), and four grandchildren. The Roberts reside at 350 Market Street.

Page five Luptowski Missed Out He Has Made But It Big By Barbara Gillott Maroon & Gold Reporter What happens to a 5’5” junior who is cut from his high school basketball team? In the case of Bloomsburg State College’s Arthur “Artie” Luptowski, he grows up to be a 5’10” college varsity star. Artie has been honored twice by the ECAC in recognition for his outstanding jobs on defense (13 steals against BSC high). In adWest (Chester dition, Artie holds the BSC record for assists in a game (18 against West Chester) and has consistently scored in the double figure column. Luptowski was a junior at Ridley Pai'k High School with an enrollment of approximately 500 students when it consolidated wnth another school district and he failed to win a varsity berth. — “Maybe I just wasn’t good enough,” recalled Artie, “but being cut didn’t really discourage me; if anything ir made me work all the harder.” Artie became a sort of basketball fanatic. He practiced hours at a time. “People got so used to seeing me practicing all the time, that when they saw me, the first thing they’d ask me is ‘where’s your basketball?’ ” The kid with the basketball tried again his senior year in high school but once again failed to make the team. It still didn’t dim his hopes of becoming a good basketball player. The summer before entering BSC, Artie practiced diligently at what has popularly been In termed ‘street ball’. As Artie explains. “Street ball is just messing around with a group of kids. Half the time, the rules are flexible and so are the teams. You just play for the sake of playing. I’d usually go home to an outdoor court w’ith lights afterwards and shoot up ’til one or two in the morning.

Cluly, 115 Terrace Ave., Upper Darby, Pa. 19082 Box 34, Kinterville, The emergence of “the New Blacks”, educated, informed, and aware of the awesome task before them was an important theme in Dr, Lincoln’s paper. He said that this new emergence was the result Black American’s “discovery of the of his own ego.” Dr. Lincoln described the essence of the Black ego as Soul. “Soul is the Black man’s most positive estimate of himself .It is the connective skein that runs through the totality of the Black Experience, weaving it together and infusing it with mean. . ing.” The New Black’s definition of himand his awareness that his heritage is good and therefore a source of pride and strength is a starting self point for a Black Revolution. Dr. Lincoln stated that this Black Revolution “intends to change the image of the American society by changing or destroying many of the concepts and attitudinal strategies which function to perpetuate the submerged status of the Black people ... I see the Black Revolution as the united expression of 30 million Blacks in search of identity, status, privilege and responsibility,” During the question and answer period following Dr. Lincoln’s presentation, he was asked how long it would be before Black’s got full equality. He stated that equality can only come about when people who have LINCOLN SAYS BLACKS ARE SEARCHING FOR THEIR IDENTITY DR. power concede These dramatic words brought to a climax a paper entitled “The New Blacks in Search of a Self” presented by Dr. C. Eric Lincoln at the first session of the Colloquim on the Black Experience sponsored by the Black Student Society at B.S.C. In his paper. Dr .Lincoln, who is a professor of sociology at Union Theological Seminary, examined some cultural, social and historical aspects of Blacks in American society. Commenting on white America’s characterization of Blacks as a collective problem. Dr. Lincoln related the story of a woman who asked him for some material on the “colored situation”. “ I sent her a “colored” paint chart from the hardware store,” he said, “it was the only ‘colored situation’ she could handle in her thinking,” Dr, Lincoln stated that many of the problems that Blacks have trouble coming to grips with stem from their . problems of identity, “The un-bridged chasm between who they were in Africa and who they are in America has crippled the minds, clouded the dreams, dulled the ambitions and bowed the heads of countless generations of men and women who were made to cringe like slaves, when in a free democracy they should have been able to walk like princes,” Page twelve voluntarily involuntarily. “And”, he said, “power concedes nothing.” Commenting on the meaning of “Look at me! I want to be recognized! I want you to reinforce my own self-conviction that I am somebody. That I make a difference. That I don’t have to look like you to be a person of dignity and worth!” . either or By James Sachetti Editor, Maroon & Gold . it, racism. Dr. Lincoln said that racism implies insecurity on the part of the people who have power. “It’s knowing who’ll win before the race is even run”, he said. Asked why more Blacks weren’t behind the Presidential campaign cf Shirley Chisholm, Dr. Lincoln said that it was because too many whites were. He later elaborated on the point by stating that Blacks weren’t interested in Women’s Liberation because Black women will only be liberated when their men are. He observed Black movement momentum, whenever the America gathered that in some other movement appeared to divert power and energy away from it.

Ireland, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Bloomsburg State College, has been informed that his article, “Education for What?: A of the Education of Black South Africans and Black Americans,” has been accepted for publication in the summer issue of the “Journal of Negro Education,” the most out- Comparison standing journal in The article tional policies its field. shows how the educaand practices of the two countries are affected by their basically different socio-political ideologies. The history of the education of the Blacks in the two countries is traced over three centuries. Dr. Ireland has long been recognized nationally and internationally as a scholar and researcher in the field of race relations. Eighteen of his thirtyfive articles and monographs, which have been published in many noted professional journals, have been devoted to various aspects of racial and minority group relationships. His interest in this area extends back to 1951 when the “Journal of Negro Education” first published two of his articles. He is one of a very small handful American scholars who have been of in- vited to the Republic of South Africa as guests of The African Institute of South Africa because of their reputations as researchers. While in the country Dr. Ireland concentrated on the government’s educational policies and practices with respect to the four major racial groups: the Bantu (Blacks), the Asiatics (mainly Indians), the Coloureds (mulattoes), and the Whies. Since his return he has published six articles dealing w’ith the education of these groups. Dr. Ireland has had another article , “American Teen-Age Marriages: Some Facts and Fallacies,” accepted for publication in the INDIAN JOUR- NAL OF SOdAL RESEARCH, This journal is one of the most prestigious, scholarly publications in the Far East. The article reviews the situation regarding teen-age marriages in America since World War II. The point is stressed that, all too frequently, such authorities as family -life educators, marriage counselors, sociologists, social workers, clergy, and school administrators and teachers have made sweeping conclusions regarding teen-age marriage based either on their own value judgements or, at best, very little factual information. Dr, Ireland concludes that despite the many yardsticks that are used to predict success or failure in teen-age marriages, not all of them have been proven by research to be effective predictors, “It is more accurate to say that people with the poorest chance of making a good marriage are most likely to marry early than to say that early marriage causes fail- ure in marriage. There is no evidence that these people would make better marriages if they w'aited for three or four years beyond their present early age.” THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY EDITOR — Boyd F.

Permit No. 10 THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE constantly to understand a complex and difficult world, who seek and evaluate and reason and argue, hoping that somehow out of their common efforts man will gain new insights into truth. I am indeed pleased with many of our accomplishments, critical ones at this stage in the history of the College, and basic ones relative to higher education within Commonwealth and the the nation. A brief look at the current catalog will provide sufficient testimony to much that has been done. We underwent complete administrative reorganization, and emerged with a sound structure, placing needed emphasis upon decentralization of authority and To the Alumni: September 1, I will terminate my association with Bloomsburg State College. This, then is my final opportunity to share with you this page of the “Quarterly.” For it, I have chosen excerpts from some of my comments made during the past few weeks. Elffective Three years ago I came to this campus holding certain assumptions: that there w’as a significant degree of sophistication on the part of faculty relative to participation in governance and in academic affairs; that I could de- pend upon those with the loyalty and integrity; academic community for people placed educational values transcendent over personal ones; that I W’ould indeed err in my efforts to do what was needed, but that such errors would be met with tolerance and understanding and constructive guidance. And I found all of these things in many of you. There are indeed those on this campus who have worked with me to assist in our struggles to achieve a new spirit of academic standards and institutional viability. Such individuals I will not and cannot forget, nor shall the passage of time lessen my thanks to them. their that professional But if there are so many who have lived up to professional expectations and responsibilites, there are, regrettably. those who did not: w^hether as a result of personal weakness, academic ineptitude, ignorance, or some unknow’n combination of factors. There is no room in the academic community for gutter fighting, for plotting and conniving, for the selfish and the cunning, for the semi-educated or the miseducated, for those who do not understand the delicate balance w’ithin the academic community among disciplines and scholars w’ho struggle specific assignments of responsibilities. We re- structured our General Education program, with emphasis upon flexibility and extended student options. We developed a viable College Senate, encompassing all segments of the college community; expanded the Educational Opportunity Program; promoted a full revision of all student regulations in order to establish a fair, equitable, yet educationally meaningful student program; and we substantially improved the quality and the accountability of faculty. The Bloomsburg Foundation was formulated to solicit and to utilize private funds in support of many college programs. Continuing Education programs have been expanded; relationships with and services the public schools have been enhanced; cooperto ative relationships wdth the Geisinger Medical Center have been established. And, perhaps of most importance, we have instituted sound budget management practices, including full inventory control, internal accounting procedures, and similar measures. To these and to other factors I point with a high feeling of accomplishment, not as a unilateral effort, but as symbols of successful leadership. am I leaving to assume duties at a major university, then, with a high feeling of positive accomplishment, and certainly with every hope for the future of the College. But Bloomsburg indeed needs your help. As with students and faculty, all too many alumni allow a few to become their spokesmen. The College faces, perhaps, the most critical period in its history during the immediate two or three years ahead. It needs your support, your considered opinion, your understanding. My thanks go to the many of you me towards the advancement with w'ho tried to and work maturing of Bloomsburg State College. President. Bloomsburg State College At $24,000 Carver Real Bargain By Dennis Guyer When ’74 many new buildings that dot the camIn 1867 Henry Carver needed pus. only $24,000 to build it. Today $24,000 would hardly pay for an 800 square room in Hartline During his tenure first principal of the Science Center. as the of office Bloomsburg Lit- erary Institute, now Bloomsburg State College, Carver actually helped erect the building which bears his name. It was designated “to accomodate 300 students at a cost not to exceed $15, 000,” but even in those days estimates were sometimes too low. Professros and students no longer help erect buildings, but they do partScience icipate in designing them. professors sat down with the architects to help design Hartline Science Center; more than a dozen girls helped draw plans for Columbia Hall, B.S.C.’s newest dormitory; and administrative personnel helped design the new administrative building. Carver Hall hides its age well - 105 years last April 4. There have been many changes over the years so it has not outgrown its usefulness. Modeled after PhUadephia’s it was originally Independence Hall, a two-story red brick structure with three porches. On the first floor were five classrooms and a cloak room while the second floor was a study hall.

Hazleton High School, he received a double degree - B.A. in Chemistry and B.A. in Biology - from BSC at the May, 1972 Commencement. Sepbert has been awarded a three year graduate fellowship by the National Science Foundation to pursue predoctoral studies at a graduate school of his choice. He will utilize the felowship, the first to be awarded by NSF to a BSC graduate, when he enrolls in studies leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the field of Biochemistry at Cornell University September, 1972. During the summer of 1971, Seybert was selected for and participated in the Savannah River Undergraduate Research Participation Program, under support of the Atomic Energy Commission at Aiken, South Carolina. At BSC, he has participated in undergraduate research under NSF support in JUNE, 1972 Was Built in 1867 mains Carver Hall, B.S.C.’s oldest building, is an interesting contrast to the foot Hall of the three porches, but a clock tower and balcony were added. Outside fire escapes had been added, but they were replaced by the present inside stairways. In 1954 the red brick entrance was replaced by the present limestone entrance. Inside, changes included an $80,000 remodeling of the first floor for offices now used by the president, the busi- ness manager and the vice president The sefor administrative services. cond floor is now an auditorium with a rebuilt stage and seats for 900. The cost of the second floor changes was $30,000. Some of the newer buildings on campus such as Elwell Hall, the parking garage and the Student Center now under construction, have a life expectancy of 60 years and it will be difficult to make changes later. There will be no space to build outward, and the structural design will not permit adding stories. When Northumberland Hall and the Student Center were in the design stange, the college requested a structural design that would permit adding other stories. The State denied the request. Carver HaU has undergone change and numerous activities have occurred throughout its history that speak of change. It remains in many people’s minds and in structure as a symbol of the growth of Bloomsburg State CoUege’s educational program. in the field of synthetic and mechan- organic chemistry. Seybert has served as President of istic the American Chemical Society Student Affiliate Chapter at BSC. He has been selected for listing in the 1971-72 edition of “Who’s Who Among Students in American College and Universities”. He has participated in the Phi following additional activities: Sigma Pi honorary professional fraternity), Maroon and Gold Band, Studio Band, Biology Club, and Science Club.

ART CLASS MAKES WORK IT On Wednesday, May 10, a strange gathering was seen on the shores of Lake Pinecrest near Town Hill, about a half-hour drive from Bloomsburg. Perhaps the strangest thing about the group was a bobbing, swinging weather balloon rising above a glob of color to which it was attached. The group of about 20 was a Bloomsburg State College class, meeting as part of a course requirement for the general crafts course taught by Kenneth Wilson. The glob of color was a sheet stuffed with colored balloons. The weather balloon and two smaller colored balloons caught the air and pulled the “craft” over the waters of Lake Pinecrest. This was only one of the sailboats made by students in the class. Of course, the others tended toward more conventional lines than Ed Horvath’s balloon boat. Of the 20 crafts constructed of wood and tin and other odd asscntments of materials, not many proved as successful in the water as they were in appearance. The sailboat endeavor ended with successes and faiures, but aU parties seemed to enjoy the excitment work to the test. students have explored several other media beyond construction of their sailboats. “I feel that if a thing has been done well then it used the medium to its best advantage.” These words of Mr. Wilson’s are often repeated by him during the three class sessions which are used as workshops. The students began the course by working in the three-dimensional realm of mobiles. From there work is focused on carving a wooden tool to satisfy the requirements of usefulness and a good feel of handling. Students turned out everything of putting their The crafts from shoe horns to magic wooden sticks. Wall hangings used the concept of stencils in creating patterns of color and shading. Leather belts were made and tooled by each member of the class. Mrs. Wilson, who has done leather work herself, helped by giving pointers on methods of using leather tools.

Reading prob- lems can be basic to a child’s overall performance in school because every subject requires certain skills in reading. Dr. Margaret Sponseller, administrator and director of B.S.C.’s reading program, has spent ten years working to expand the program to keep future teachers abreast of the new techniques being developed to improve the teaching of reading. During most of that time, however, only the basic elementary education requirements, “Teaching of Readineg in the Elementary Grades,” has been available to stndents because of what Dr. Sponseller explains as “inadequate staffing.” Four years ago she started a remedial reading clinic which now can accomodate approximately 40 clients. She uses the word ‘clients’ because the clinic not restricted to children. 44-year-old client made use of the clinic’s services, and this past year the ages ranged from seven to 28 years. “The clinic is the only one of its kind in Eastern Pennsylvania with facilities to handle as is One year a This past year Dr. Sponseller took on the duties of teaching an additionreading course, “Diagnostic and al Remedial Reading.” Her main goal in the course, she says “is to put teachers into our schools who are concerned with kids ...

The national attrition rate for four- year colleges is gvien as 48 per cent. At B.S.C., over a three-year period, the attrition rate for freshmen has been 30 per cent, for sophomores 25 per cent, for juniors ten per cent and for seniors two per cent. During the Spring semester 33 students dropped out. But even though the B.S.C. attrition rate is below the national average. the problem is not being ignored. Most students hesitate to give their reasons for leaving and those given are often incorrect, but financial and medical reasons are those most frequently listed. Lack of interest rates third and this is the reason more frequently given by freshmen. Walter Williams, a junior majoring in Secondary Education, had earned 84 credits when he decided to leave school early in the Spring semester. “My reasons for leaving are partly financial.’’ he explained. “I had to attend a State College for financial reasons, and I liked Bloomsburg the best. I was limited in my choice of a particular field and I chose to major in Education. But I don’t want to be a teacher, so I’m leaving.” A transferring sophomore commented “I feel there must be more somewhere. The kids are great here and I suppose that’s what I’ll miss the most.

Others come expecting a great intellectual experience and are disappointed. A good number of students become disillusioned about their capabilities and simply reach a point of disequilibrium where they become aware that their abilities do not match their aspired goals.” Walker sees frustration over careers as the first step in leaving school. Bloomsburg State College, for the most part, has been training its students to be teachers. Yet it is estimated that there will be 26 appli- cants for each teaching vacancy by the late 1970’s. Now the field is tight and the competition is tough. The moving vocationai trend is towards trade, industrial and technical fields, but just a slight change in our economy could alter the whole job picture again and the students are constantly aware of this, he points out. The disiilusioned student may find some consolation in knowing that he isn’t being ignored. One of the latest programs established for such students is the, “Leave of Absence Policy.” Under this policy, a student may request a leave of absence by application and provided he is in good standing at the end of the semester, he will be allowed to leave and be assured accommodation the semester he is designated to return. Dr. Edson J. Drake, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, said that the administration is considering the idea of “Interdisciplinary Courses”. In such a field of study, a student majoring in French, for example, would learn not only the language but also the history and culture of the country. This would enable aU the educational department to work together as a unit to insure a better all-around education for the student. To help alleviate career frustration, the Counseling Service is trying to steer students in educationai studies to other fields with more appeal for them and a greater job market. A program of Professor Evaluation being considered, whereby the student would be given the opportunity to evaluate his professors and the porfessors would be informed of the results. This plan is aimed at improving the attitudes of teachers and their ability to make their courses meaningful. Since questions concerning careers are so important, Mr. Walker has suggested what could be termed a “Career Counseling Library.” opened to all students and devoted solely to the purpose of publicizing important is planning. satisfied on career guidance Too many students are and leave school with and dis- no other alternatives in mind. A library such as this could be an educational experience in itself. If a student is unhappy in his field, he can decide to change and know exactly w'here he’s heading. Everyone seems to agree that there will always be a disillusioned student but to ignore the problem would be a mistake. The most important task of administrative leaders is to initiate programs to keep up with the needs of a changing society before student’s stress becomes great enough to interfere with an orderly program of professional studies.

Without this support, it will not be possible to send the Alumni Quarterly to all graduates whose correct address is in our files. It will also be impossible to maintain the Alumni Office. The Alumni Office has many functions: 1. It is the channel through which all deaths, changes of address, and other important statistics are recorded in the Alumni files. 2. It is the channel of communication with the representatives of the classes in reunion. It is the agency which grants all Alumni Loans. 4. It is the agency which administers all the Alumni Scholarship Funds. All of these activities require the services of a full-time secretary. The expenses incident to these activities are budgeted and the funds for these expenses are transferred from the Bloomsburg Foundation to the Alumni Association. 3. Therefore, it is essential that all Alumni, through the Foundation, support the Association, at least to the extent of the five dollars annual dues. These are difficult days at BSC. Please do not let the College down! President, Alumni Association ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE BLOOMSBURG, PA. 17815 Address Correction Requested Non-Profit Org. U. S.

FALL, 1972 THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE Recently, E. Alden Dunham authored “Colleges of The Forgotten Americans,” a profile of state colleges and regional universities, for The Carnegie Commission on Education. Addressing himself to educational pressures, Dunham submits that state colleges are experiencing all sorts of strain in their network of relationships in deciding just what the function of state colleges ought In essence, state colleges are suffering an “identto be. Higher ity crisis.” As we all know, Bloomsburg State College is one of 14 state-owned institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As such, its broad functions are in the areas of teacher education and in the Arts and Sciences. Very often we still have people inquire about “The Normal School” on the hill, or address correspondence to “The Teachers College.” It is important for all to realize that Pennsylvania’s former collection of teachers colleges has moved rapidly along the spectrum from single to multipurpose Institutions. As we begin this 1972-1973 academic year, with our total enrollment exceeding 5,000, we find, indeed, that Bloomsburg State College is providing a diversity of edu- cational opportunities. Our undergraduate students are enrolled in three schools of the College: Arts and Sciences, Professional Studies (teacher education, special education, communication disorders, and dental hygienist), and Business (business education and business administration). Our graduate students, enrolled in the Graduate School, are working toward M.A., M.S., or M.Ed. degrees. In addition, opportunities are provided in continuing education both credit and non-credit, as well as conveniently scheduled courses for teachers-in-servlce. Viewed at this time in our history, Bloomsbttrg State College is full of vitality, enthusiasm, and dedication. Surely as we continue along the spectrum of development, each academic year will contribute to the identifiable and unique personality that is Bloomsburg. Acting President Bloomsburg State College a Dr. Carlson Acting President Other Staff Changes Are Made Dr. Charles H. Carlson is serving as Acting President of Bloomsburg State College pending the appointment of a permanent President to succeed Dr. Robert J. Nossen who resigned after filling the position for three years. Dr. Carlson was appointed Acting President by Gov. Milton J.

Pickett, formerly Associate Vice-Chancellor at the University of Illinois, has been appointed Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculties. He replaces Dr. Hcbar: F. Heller who served last year following the resignation of Dr. John A. Hoch. Dr. Heller, who came to BSC as prcfessor-at-large in 1970 follow’Lng retirement as Vice-President for Academic Affairs at Eastern Illinois University and several years cf service with the Department of Education at Harrisburg, will serve this year as Acting Dean, School of Graduate Studies.

If the victims of Anges’ WTath could be called “lucky”, then those from the greater Bloomsburg area who were evacuated to Bloomsburg State College could be classified as such. ly 2.000 In comparison to evacuees in some disaster areas, those at Bloomsburg State were going first class from every conceivable angle housing, food and, would you believe entertainment? When the anti-Agnes action started on campus just before noon on Thursday, it appeared that the number of evacuees arriving would be accommodated quite easily. They were shuttled from the administration building to Columbia Hall where they were assigned rooms along with the coeds already living in the building. — Keep Coming For awhile it appeared as though it was going to be a ho-hum day. However, as the rains continued and afternoon became early evening it became apparent that Agnes was a liberated lady who was disdainfully showing us the power of a woman. By 8 PM on Thursday the number of arrivals seeking refuge has escalated to the point where they were being housed In Luzerne, Mor/tour and Schuylkill residence halls and they — kept coming. At 10 PM the decision was made to open the doors of the largest residence hall on campus. Elwell Hall with a capacity of 700 was opened and by midnight three of its floors were occupied. The remaining four floors of “Elwell City” (as the students refer to it) were filled Friday afternoon as residents of Sherwocd Village, Espy, Lime Ridge, Fernville and the lower areas of Bloomsburg etc. were ordered to evacua+e.

Like to dog that had been raised in a ranch-type home and didn’t know what stairs were until he arrived at the dormitory. When the elevator wasn’t available the master cbligingly carried the dog up several flights of stairs. When the evacuees registered at the residence halls on campus, they were greeted by smiling student volunteers who helped them to their rooms. However, probably none of them were aware of the tremendous effort w'hich was required to get the college on the hill ready for the invasion it really wasn’t done by the local Guru as some might believe. In many instances the — working groups were short-handed but they managed to suck it up and give a little extra in all departments in order to minimize any discomfort for people who already had their share of it.

However, the BSC food ser- vice which is catered by ARA Services rose to the occasion. They got their adrenalin flowing and with the assistance of student and faculty volunteers.

There were also those who were a bit “hyper” beof cause of their apprehension for the condition of the hemes they vacated and perhaps having to be around their youngsters all day. Most ‘Happy’ Nevertheless, 99 per cent of the happy guests at BSC were thankful and seme of them expressed their gratitude by volunteering for various chores like cleaning the bathrooms, operating elevators, carrying food to the elderly, emptying trash containers, dogsitting, etc. Most of the temporary campus residents returned to their homes by late Sunday evening and on Monday the 400 remaining were consolidated in Elwell Hall. Seme of them stayed there for awhile as they shuttled back and forth to their homes in operation clean while others were involved in hunting for new places in which to take up residence. Meanwhile, among the departees where people were saying to each “haven’t seen you in a dog’s other age. It was nice seeing you again.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 4 B. S. C Building Projects Completed During the spring and summer of a now adnumistration-supply building, a new gymnasium (Upper Campus), a new Recreation Area, and completely new underground utilities (Upper Campus) were completed at 1972, a cost of $15,335,000 in preparation for the beginning of class in September. Each project will play a vital role in a variety of ways in the entire college community. Construction continues on the Student Center and the completion date is estimated at sometime during early 1973. The cost of construction, furnishings, and movable equipment will be approximately $1,500,000. It is expected that constnjction will begin this fall on the new football field, track, and baseball field as well as the air conditioning of Sutliff Hall. Low bids for the Athletic Fields w'ere $725,274 and those for Sutliff Hall were $138,000. Design work has begun on a new dormitory to replace Old Waller Hall. Because of its age and condition. Waller Hall has not been used to house students for several years. The new structure is expected to house 250 students at an approximate construction cost of $1,955,0(X). In order to provide adequate heat, hot water, and in several cases airconditioning (steam absorption method) for existing and new buildings on the Lower Campus, a new boiler is expected to be installed at the college heating plant along with major alterations to existing boilers. $2M,000 has been allocated for this purpose. The design In plans for new and Improved utilities on the Lower Campus is expected to begin shortly. An amount of $400,000 has been budgeted for this project.

An example that comes to mind is the way in which literature in general poetry, drama, novel and biography has been affected in form and content by new insights in psychology. On the other hand, many innova- — time like us a feeling, thinking human being, suffering our common fate. think that is what attracts us to biography. As Dr. Johnson has put it; “We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by dangers, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure.” The subjects of biographies have generally been gi'eat, infamous, or otherwise distinguished persons. But such is our interest in man that many successful biographies of lesser or even obscure men have been written, I among them “John Ster“Father and Son,” and White’s “Autobiography of Mark Rutherford.” Johnson goes so far as to say that “there has rarely passed a life of which a judicious and faithful narrative would not be useful.” And, Carlyle’s ling”, Gosse’s when Boswell relates that after Johnson’s urging him to keep a journal of his own life, Boswell mentioned that he was afraid to put into his again, facts, even though dull, are everything, because they are trustworthy in the direction of what he calls truth. (It is only fair to say at this point that DeVoto himself is seldom dull.) Why, for instance, “literary people” are more prone to indulge in psychoanalysis than others he never makes clear. Lord David Cecil appears to be somewhere in the middle of all this. For him, biography is not an important form of literary art, The modbut it only a new form. ern biographer, he claims, strives to make his product a work of art. His assertion that the aim of earlier biographers was not artistic may be true, but one thinks of Plutarch, Boswell, and even Walton as artistic in aim and accomplishment. Cecil’s claim that earlier biographers strove to give people information, to tell the truth, The proper is only generally true. biographer then, in a literary sense at least, is an artist who aims at truth to fact. Regarding the question of literary purity, in the sense of genre, I think we can admit biography as a depart- appear to have no justification whatever. Such new “courses” appear to be spawned in the following manner: in a given course a problem of seeming importance arises; why net deal with this problem more fully in a newly-created course? Such a process might weU be reduced to the Johnson replied, ies absurdity of generating new courses every time a problem arises. And the “problem”, greatly magnified, often turns out to be ephemeral. The danger, as I see it. is that while for good reasons, regrouping of courses may lead to more integrated knowledge, a contrary fragmentation may also be taking place. As a consequence of the foregoing considerations, one needs to be cautious about making claims either for or against inclusion of courses in biography in the college undergraduate curriculum. Perhaps we might see the problem more clearly by addressing to ourselves a few questions about the nature of biography and its place a creature as Man.” Generally speaking, a pure biography is written about a person whem writer and reader can fundamerially respect. My second question is. To what extent is biography a literary genre?

Harold Nicolson has said that since the only certain factor in life is death, our response is the instinct of self-preserHowvation to defy annihilation. ever. while we all share in the commemorative instinct, it is this very cenotaph urge which Nicolson believes has falsified the art of biography: “Myth, legend, epic, elegy, have prospered on this very soil, but biography has merely run to leaf.” Perhaps that is why we find so few great biographies; since we all more or have the fictionalixe fact, we run the danger always of falsifying our account of the single, less instinct to person about whom we are writing.

An extreme view is presented bv the crusty Bernard DeVoto, who believes ment of literature. Not all biographpresumably belong here in the course of literary study. But no matter whether the subject is a political, military, or literary figure, his biography has a just claim to our consideration, so long as he appears both through the facts and through their artistic ordering as a human being sharing our common humanity. Such a position might seem to offer too much we own warm humanity. Lord Herbert both offer Cellini many and fabri- own power and whether or not these conscious distortions, we have cations about their achievement; are again life-size portraits artistically arranged, and we have to leave facts out of mind for the moment. We can do this because, while aware of the demands of factual truth, we are responding by a kind of concession to fiction. All this leads us to our third question; What are we now prepared to accept in the presentation of biograph- cal subject-matter? There is a greater demand for fact at present than in earlier centuries, yet there are still many biographies that are half Much depends on the avowed purpose of the biographer. If the biographer seriouslv claims to give us the facts and fails to do so when they are to his knowledge available, he has performed a disservice to both We need to history and literature. be on guard against what seems delifictional. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY berate distortion of facts to suit the biographer’s prejudices. Marchette Chute cites the not-infrequent case of a biographer’s seeing that A, B, and D fit well. He now must find C, which he may well try to force into alignment with the others, even though the process is a distortion. I can think of other instances of su.spfcOt method from my own limited experiences as a biographer.

For example, I found that in the nineteenth century a claim was made that a certain printed letter was a forgery, and not authenticated by manuscript, claim of forgery was unquestioningly accepted by everyone until it was shown that there was no forgery. These are some of the things that we must be aware of in reading biography of the kind that makes claims to ^e truth-of-fact. need to be aware of the attitdue and tone of the biographer. It is all to the good that we have largely left We behind the hagiography of the past and have sought more for factual evident in many modern biographies, as it almost never was in the past. Hrtschmann’s "Great Men; Psycnoanalyuc Studies,” despite the sometimes heavy-handed treatment and the authself-assurance, offers strong ground for the claim of Narcissism in Geo the, who held always betore him the ideal of perfecting his peror’s sonality. And Goethe in turn is shown as a sort of father-figure to his adoring young friend Eckermann. One of the classic examples of psychological insight into the significance of child- hood biography is Erikson’s “Young Luther.” In his “Literary Biography” Leon Edel gives us an account of the biographical facts that shaped Willa Gather’s “The Professor’s House” and to considerable degree inspired the artistic unity (and disunity, as well) of that novel. Edel provides in this instance a brilliant example of psychoanaylsis and biography working in the serevice of literary criticism. These are only a few examples of the range and diversity of modern biography. With perhaps a fuller recognition and understanding of what is the interest and attraction of biography, what are its claims as literary art, and what we are prepared to expect and accept as biography, we now return to the first question: the place of biography in the undergraduate curriculum. Biography obviously has a popular appeal, perhaps because it satisfies the need to balance fiction with fact. in Man when “warriors” were indeed in undress. The ugly tacts may be so The Sunday Book Review in the New York Times regularly provides almost as much space to reviews of biographies as of novels. Such widespread interest and acclaim requires that some attention be paid in the nation’s classrooms to two aspects in arranged as the study of any biography: But attitude can still determine a tone that shapes facts in a certainty. way was that leads to distortion. ’There at the turn of the century a per- iod of blunt, crude to give trait of the subject. muckraking, a misleading por- And there another quality that needs to be noted, is the reof its method and its achievement as art. Some discipline must be devised to prevent the uncritical acceptance of just anything read as liability even in such a great biographer as Lytton Strachey, notably in his “Eminent Victorians.” This is the tone, biography. perhaps aim arising from self-esteem, that belittles the subject in a way that just misses being a sneer. As we have seen, there has been range and diversity of attitude in the biographer, especially in more recent times. The examination of the subject has been more concentrated, and there is an increasing interest in the inner man, what made him act as he did. Of course such a purpose is evident in earlier biographers too, but not with such singleness of aim. Thus Emil Ludwig was saying in 1927 that the biographer’s problem is nothing less than the human soul a big Darwinian environment to the individual psychology. The question now becomes, says Ludwig, not so much — “how did the individual harmonize with his world” as “does he harmonize with himself?” 'This psychanalytic approach to the study of biography, while often misapplied, has produced many new insights in our understanding of the subjects of biography. Ernest Jones’ “Life of Freud” is an example of how facts may provide the ground for a psychoanalytic attempt to understand the man. And is has been psychology that has taught us as never before the importance of childhood in all men. This attention to childhood is FALL, 1972 One important established teaching of literature in our schools implies this very thing the cultivation of taste and discrimination in our young people. of the A fuller inclusion of biography in the curriculum would also strengthen the perennial need ^by no means a recent one for interdisciplinary studies. The opportunity for such studies is inherent in the very nature of biography. We are not to suppose that there in anything novel about biography as a course of study. It has long been included as a part of our curri- — — culum, although lately it seems to have fallen into disuse as an organized department of study, except for the Master’s and Ph.D. programs which to considerable extent consist of literary biographies of specialized kinds. In many college undergraduate programs a course in biography is still offered. I propose that such a course be made more to aU college students possible biography have some representation in a genre course. The choice of works would be left to the judgment of the instructor who should be cautious about including biographies of contemporar- visible and that if heeding Addison’s comment on and careless popularizers, “the Grub Street biographers, who watch for the death of a great man. ies, the glib like so many undertakers, on purpose to make a penny of him.” And in the various courses within we might well spend more time in directing our students in both college and high the curriculum a little school to carefully check biographical matter for verification and to encourage in them an appreciation of what is good taste in the biographer. I can think of no better guide in this respect than Edmund Gosse, who holds that the writer of biography must make up his mind about the commission of certain sins of indiscretion: “He need not tell his story if his only solicitude is to give nobody cause of offense. The closer we come to the subject the more we wish to avoid the indelicate, and this sometimes leads up to teU lies. Of course we need good taste, but the rule should be ‘how to be as indiscreet as posgood sible within the boundaries of taste and kind feeling.’ ” These are values of which the student can be made aware by the study of biograr phy. The sadder aspects in the lives of Coleridge, Lamb, Burns and Poe should be dealt with for their sobering and humanizing effects on the reader. In summary, biography which has in literature, should be made visible in the curriculum, in the form of elective courses and of inother creased emphasis in various courses in literature. Biography, itmythself net without examples of making, has generally tended to work a place more against myth, by its close attention Yet the psychoanalytic biography itself may be seen as a sort to fact. myth-making in its effort to seek an explanation of what are sometimes dark and obscure matters in a human soul. These varied aims and methods of biography need to be brought to the student’s attention through informed instruction. of ON B.S.C.

Are B.S.C. students of recent years smarter than their counterparts of the late 50’s, or are the professors becom- more lenient with their grading? This is one of the questions raised by a comparative study of grades issued recently by Dr. M. W. Sanders, Director of Institutional Research. One general observation made in the report is that only the Fall term of 1969-70 has a mean grade point average (2.47) as low as any in the fiveyear period from 1956 to 1960. By coming parison, the mean grade point average for the Spring term, 1971-72 was 2.68. For the year 1956-57 it w'as 2.41. One faculty member, referring to a recent New' York Times article, asks “there is an inflation of grades.” reported that he believes his own grades to be higher than those five years ago. During the five-year period, 1956-60, the percentage of A’s ranged from 10.8 to 14.3; B’s from 30.9 to 32.9; C’s from 40.4 to 43.0; D’s from 7.5 to 10.2 and E’s from 1.6 to 2.5. Last year the A’s averaged 16.9 per cent; B’s 37.5; C’s 31.4; D’s 6.5 and E’s 1.5. Withdrawels from courses last year amounted to 5.5 percent, more than double those of any year back in the if He late 50’s. APPOINTED Dr. H.

It was during that period, and while she was teaching art at the university that Mrs. Ancker became increasingly interested in fine art, and in her spare time studied water color, oil paintings, and lithography. In the early 1940’s while studying at Columbia University she came under the influence of the late American sculptorer, Oronzio Maldarelli, who persuaded her that her future lay in sculpture. In 1950 she began exhibiting her sculpture, winning an award at Washington, D.C. in her first competition. Success after success follevel lowed A graduate of the old Bloomsburg Normal School, Mrs. Ancker is a native whose ancestors were among the first settlers of Bloomsburg in 1810. In 1839, Daniel Snyder, her maternal great-grandfather, donated “10 or 15 acres” on what is now College Hill as the site for Bloomsburg Academy, of which BSC is a direct outgrowth. In 1964, in connection with the Tercentenary celebration of New Jersey, where Mrs. Ancker lived for a number of years, the literary quarterly “University Woman” cited her as “one of the outstanding women in New Jersey history.” and in 1967 the BSC Alumni Association presented her with its Distinguished Service Award. Her late brother, Robert Hutton, was for a long time a teacher of geography in the Bloomsburg Area Schools. She is an elected member of the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the Painters & i^ulptors Society of New Jersey, and the National Society of Arts and Letters.

Dr. Craig Newton, History Department, has been appointed Curator of A DEVOTED ALUMNUS the B.S.C.’s role in aiding victims of the June flood continued long after the flood waters subsided. In fact, a portion of the campus will be used to aid persons made homeless by the flood for at least another year. Governor Milton Shapp has approved use of a portion of the ‘upper campus’ as the location for approximately 90 mobile home units to be provided homeless flood victims. The 103-acre upper campus area was originally planned as a second campus, but at present only the new field house is located there.

One of the foremost educators in the nation in the field of physical education and holder of the degree from the University of Michigan, the AB ME from Harvard and the Ph.D. from New York University, Dr. Nelson’s allegiance to Bloomsburg was total throughout his life. He was a leader as a student in campus activities and in athletics: he was an able, inspiring and dedicated instructor as BSC director of health and baseball coach from 1924 to 1945, and the enthusiastic and capable president of the BSC Alumni Association from 1946 until his death. education Dr. Nelson was held in the highest regard by students, graduates and all who in any way were in contact with the College or had knowledge of its progress. its programs and By resolution at the time of his passing the board of trustees. Judge C. W. Kreisher, president, and Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, College president, asserted Dr. Nelson “represented much of the best that is Bloomsburg” and spoke of him as “a man who was esteemed by his associates, loved by his friends and respected by all.” The late Dr. Francis B. Haas, form- er president of the College and for whom Dr. Nelson served as chief of health and physical education, Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction, in a tribute at the time of “His Dr. Nelson’s death penned: many interests touched, vitalized, and strengthened every phase of our American life through his interest and work in religion, in education, in civic and family life, in fraternal activities, in physical welfare and in the progress and succes of his students.” Fatally ill during the spring of ’61, Dr. Nelson nonetheless directed the plans for the fiftieth year reunion of his class of 1911. His death occurred less that two weeks after that event was held. We sincerely believe, and know that a legion of alumni share the belief, that mature and deep consideration should be given to naming the new field house on Bloomsburg’s upper campus for Dr. Elna Harrison Nelson.

Our mid-year Commencement was held in the evening for the first time in the history of Bloomsburg State College. Members of the Board of Trustees, students, family, and friends joined with us in this very important event. The major address was given by Dr. C.

I was given the title of Executive Associate and assigned to coordinate special projects along with assisting in the development of the selection process for teachers, school administrators, law enforcement officers, and house parents for residential schools. I coordinated cessful college faculty and/or administrators. The possibility that area schools might also be interested in the system as it would apply to selecting the best teachers, now that teachers are plentiful in most fields, was also considered.

Some staff members are part time but all are dedicated to constructive use of psychological knowledge to develop human potential. They provide guidance in identifying and devloping potentiality in prospective staff members (or staff members) in schools, businesses or industry and other civil agencies.

Suggestions for improvement were freely offered and accepted but more often, and more important, work well done was recognized. Thus, it was a good demonstration of an ideal working situation, with work efficiency and team work. The key to this arrangement was in selecting the right people: people who are well adjusted, who relate easily to others, who can determine priorities and set goals, and who can adjust to change.

The demonstration was offered in four programs sponsored by the Bloomsburg State College Institute for Social Studies Teachers under the direction of George A. Turner, associate civics professor of history. The conference dealt with Project 18, a new and u- nique course on politics developed by Dr. John Madden of Lower Merion School District in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the League of Women Voters. The demonstration concerned an analysis of 18 excerpts taken from speeches of presidential candidates and teachers present were asked to identify the author of the quote and to speculate about the nature of the group to which the candidate was appealing. The lesson was designed to demonstrate to students that candidates appeal to group interests, hoping to win their support. “Behavior of a Politician: an Interview with Richardson Dil worth.” was the second demonstration and was conducted via video tape. Mr. Dilworth gave his candid views on such things as pressure politics, campaign contributions, honesty and dishonesty in politics, and the influence of youth at the 1972 National Democratic Convention. He also discussed ways of first getting involved in politics at the ward level, the nature of political machines and his impressions about recent political The campaigns. third demonstration was enti- tled “Political Action Tactics,” and dealt with tactics as organization, ap- plying pressure, lobbying, propagandizing, etc., as occurred in Philadelphia with the black political organization. The fourth demonstration dealt with “The Person as Voter: Expanding the Franchise.” It involved a candid look at the way voters are disenfranchised by illegal and legal means. Devices used to discourage voting were discussed and students were motivated to devise tactics to counter such disenfranchising tactics. The final sesion was an evaluation of the demonstrations and the entire program of study and action. Dr. John R. Madden. Project 18 director, informed his audience that the first evaluation concerning Unit One of the course by the students involved was a 4.6 on a possible 5 point scale. Project 18, designed to combine good pedagogy with a realistic picture of the nature and process of politics WINTER, 1972 as it is, not as it at ought to be ideally, was developed by experts in education, political science and communications under a $100,000 grant received under Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The program, which seeks to balance student involvement with the transmission of the substance of politics, is currently being tried in 12 urban and rural school districts throughout the state and preliminary evaluations by the students taking the course indicate that it will be successful. Designed as a one-semester civics or problems of democracy course, Project 18 takes the approach that politics is the way political leaders distribute advantages and disadvantages, usually in response to certain demands by groups having resources such as organization, money influence, etc. that enable them to use tactics that make the political decision makers respond to their demands. The course divided into six units, all of which combine student participation, audio-visual aids, and simulations. The units are: “Politics Who gets is — What and How,” “The in Government: Citizen’s Role Exercise in Practical Political Action,” “The Structure and Function of American State and Local Political Institutions,” “How Political Elections and Voting,” “Characteristics Influencing American Political Attitudes and Behavior,” and “Evaluating Political Strategies.” In each of the units, students are urged to get involved in the political decision-making process by articulating their demands and designing strategies and tactics to achieve them in consultation with a “resource person” from the locality, always in terms of a cost-benefit analysis. Accompanying the course, in addition to film strips, including an interview with Richardson Dilworth, former mayor of Philadelphia and Democratic candidate for Governor, are resource books for the students and the teachers, a practical work book for students, and a simulation that mirrors the structure of the state and forces the students to play the roles of people from each of the state’s districts, seeking policies from the state government that further their interReadings in the student reests. source book are designed to give a realistic picture of politics and the bargaining, compromising, and accommodation that goes on usually among groups with the necessary resources required to bargain.

A middle-aged ’73 mother school-age children says six of “It’s a ter- rible idea.’’ A twelve-year elementary teacher “I prefer the old plan. comments We’ve always done A it that way.” nine-year old fourth grader says “ugb!” simply The ‘terrible idea’ is the yeai- round school concept being considered by many educators as a replacement for the traditional nine-month school year with its three-month summer vacation. School systems in 12 states are now offering some form of year-round education and many others are either studying or testing such programs. ’There are several variations of the extended school year but two foirnis are currently receiving the most attention. The plan most popular in high schools has a schedule of four 12-week terms. Under this plan the student attends three of the four quarters each year. The other plan receiving considerable attention is known as the ‘4515’ plan. Under this schedule each four groups of pupils attends classes for 45 weekdays and then has a 15-day vacation. The schedule is staggered so that only three groups are attending classes at any one time. Efforts are made to give members of the same family and residents of the same neighborhoods the same vacation periods. of The year-round system has been found to cost less, after the initial expense, and it alleviated problems of accomodation and shortage of facilities by making the maximum use of buildings and equipment. Teachers can benefit by having the opportunity to teach for the full year if they wish. For the students, actual time in .school would be no greater under any of the proposals than it is now 180 school days. Year-round curriculum expansions are likely to be made slowly and only after careful study. The many problems involved, especially for the smaller districts, prevents any rapid conversion to a 12-month school cur- riculum Dr. Craig Himes. B.S.C. professor and a member of the Central Columbia school board, sees bus transportation as an insurmountable problem under existing laws. ’The same number of buses would be required for the district but each bus would carry fewer children on each trip. The state reimburses 65 per cent of bus costs if the bus has 80 per cent occupancy. If there is less the district is not eligible for the state appro. position to year-round school. It is innovative, but it affects our greatest resource, our children, so it would consequently need a period of acquaintance and adjustment for the public, he points out. “The decision should be left to the taxpayer,” says John Dennen, another B.S.C. professor and Warrior Run School Board member. He add- ed that the school board is aware of changes taking place in education but that any developments they make will be “service for and by the the taxpiayer.” Edwin L. Hoffman, Jr.,, a member cf the Berwick School Board, recently served as a member of an ad hoc Educational Committee of the Pennsylvania State Chamber of Commerce organized solely for the purpose Mr. of studying year-round school. Hoffman views year-round schools as an asset to education, financially scholastically. The findings of and his committee are favorable but he is opposed to any school district adopting full force experimental programs unless they are sure of the attitudes and the consequences of the program for that area. While there are arguments for and against the year-round schools, they are what is currently happening in education and it seems they will be here eventually. of the people BSC HOSPITALITY SUITE IN ATLANTIC CITY For the second consecutive year Bloomsburg State College will maintain a Hospitality Suite at the Marl- during the School Administrators’ annual conference, February 24-27, 1973 in Atlantic City.

Sports Penalties imposed on varsity athletteams at Bloomsburg State College by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in August, 1972, have been eased and several charges of violations have been removed from the oric NCAA iginal report. All varsity athletic teams except wrestling became eligible as of Oct. 24, 1972, to participate in post-season championships or tournament play. The ban against post-season comperemains in effect for the wrestteam, but the ban may be lifted during the 1973-74 academic year. The adjustment of penalties was announced by NCAA Assistant Executive Director Warren Brown in a letter to ESC’s Acting President Dr. Charles Carlson in November. Dr. Carlson had appealed to NCAA for a review of the case after several charges of violations had been retracted. Charges of changing high school tition ling records of prospective student^athletes against the then director of admissions. alleged to have occurred prior to the 1965-66 academic year, and charges of paying athletes who did no work were found to be untrue and were dropped. The original charges had involved the then dean of students and the director of athletics. Brown’s letter, and a subsequent clarification, dearly exonerates Dr. C. Stuart Edwards and Elton Hunsinger from any charges of violations of NCAA regulations. At the time the alleged vio- were originally charged to have occurred, they were respectively director of admissions and dean of students. Brown’s clarification states: “Accordingly, the Resolution adopted August 18i, 1972, by the Council (NCAA) should be altered by removng the words ‘director of admissions’ and ‘dean of students’ from anv find- lations ings involving the principles of ethical conduct.” The college remains on probation for two years beginning August 18, 1972. and the penalty imposed on the wrestling team prohibiting post-sea- son competition remains in force. 'The findings of the original NCAA report charging changing of grades of certain student-athletes by the then Dean of the Faculties for several years prior to and ending with the 1968-69 academic vear remain unchanged. Other findings remaining unchanged are charges of alleged violations pertaining to recruitment of high school athletes and of violations involving financial aid given to athletes from funds not administered by the college.

Competition for the Berwick High School star included just about every football power in the East and Midwest, including Nebraska and Notre Dame as well as Penn State.

WINTER, 1972 Page seven B.S.C.’s Winter Sports Teams Have Good Reasons The outlook for the three winter varsity sports for the 1972-73 college year appears bright. Although all teams face extremely tough schedules, they should have winning seasons. Possibly the one most in question is wrestling due to the college not fielding a team last year because of from coaching the problems resulting assignments and injuries. BASKETBALL Coach Charles Chronister has perhaps the best material the college has had in a number of years. Returning lettermen are 5T0” captain Art Luptowski, pershaps the best ball handler and playmaker in BSC’s history; 6’8" John Willis, an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American as a sophomore; and two speedsters with fine shooting ability, 6'0” Gary Choyka and 510” Tony DeRa. Complementing these four will be sophomores 6’4” Gary Tyler, 6’4” Dick Grace, 6’6” John Kessge, 6’4” Ron Keller, 511” Mike Ognosky, and 511” Joe Woods, along with transfer Joe Kempski from Wilmingdale Community College, L.I., N.Y., and 6’6” Gary Beatty, who sat out last season due to an injury. In addition to the regular schedule, the Huskies participated in the Christmas Tree Tournament at Indiana University and traveled to the College of the Virgin Islands on January 3. They hope to participate in the Penn sylvania Conference and NAIA District 19 playoffs. SWIMMING Blessed with a nucleus of seven returning lettermen and a fine group of freshmen.

Creasy, Chairman. Invitations were extended to the seven candidates to visit the campus during February to view the campus meet members of the college community and have formal interviews with the Search Committee. facilities, The committee expects to narrow its selection to three candidates, but will give a full report on all leading candidates to the Board of Trustees at BSC, Creasy stated, “The Committee is keeping to its planned time schedule of using January and February for final interviews so that a report and recommendations can be made to the full BSC Board of Trustees in March, 1973.” When the Presidential Search Committee was appointed in May, 1972, it was charged by the Board of Trustees of BSC to follow procedures developed by the Board of State College and University Directors and the Secretary of Education, John Pittenger, in conjunction with Act 13 of 1970. Additional procedure calls for the BSC Board of Trustees to submit its report and recommendation to the Board of State College and University Directors, who, after consultation with the Secretary of Education, shall submit the report of the Board of Trustees to the Governor and shall advise him thereon. If the Governor selects one of the three recommended candidates to be president, after notification by the Secretary of Education to the Board of State College and University Directors, the Board of Trustees, and the candidate, the Governor’s office will make the public announcement of the selection. However, it should be pointed out the Board of Directors acknowledges that the final responsibility for the selection of a president of a state college rests with the Governor, and that the Governor may, if he chooses, depart from the above procedures.

All details of the trip were carefully planned, and naturally, the first leg Departure got off to a bad start. from Bloomsburg was delayed 20 minutes because the team trainer was still grabbing Zs at departure time. Then we were side-tracked in Philadelphia because of faulty directions provided by one of the players, a native Philly kid. The first big thrill was at the Philly airport, where we saw a man who had a body guard as a companion. Really, it was difficult to believe that Muhammed Ali needed one, but there Muhammed looked more was. a business executive than a boxer. Soon after takeoff at 10:30 a.m. the routinely classy stewardesses began taking orders for beverages and believe it or not, some passengers (not our group) were already shooting Three hours later double martinis. we touched down at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and were exposed to our first warm rays of sunshine. If you have never been south in January, the weather is best described as a wonderhe like warm, humid 80 degrees. The beauty of the foliage on the tropical was momentarily minimized by Mother Nature who presented a short shower of rain followed by a most magnificent rainbow. Perhaps it was the flower in the sky for that baseball great, Roberto Clemente, whose plane left San Juan the day before, never to trees return. A 20-minute flight landed us at Thomas where an old friend St. who had graduated from B.S.C. in 1967, Harry Saxton, greeted us. He is an accountant at the College and his wife, Harriet, who hails from Pottsville, is on the staff of the College’s Public Relations department. They were very cordial and helpful hosts during our visit. Since the Huskies were to play a basketball game the next evening, Coach Chronister scheduled a team meeting which was to be followed by a practice session. However, at the meeting he dismissed the thought of practice and told the team to relax and have fun “but don’t get sunburned because we want everyone healthy for the Mansfield game,” On the day of the game when the team checked in for the pre-game meal one sensed that all was not well with the “Hustlin’ Huskies”.

It proved to be a painful experience Sea urchins are ball-shaped creatures with a multitude of spines projecting from their bodies. The spines are composed of calcium carbonate and since they are extremely brittle they break off after pentrating and fragment easily when tweezed. Thus they could not readily be removed from the feet of the two athletes. At the hospital emergency room Artie and Ron were greeted like old friends by the nurse, a former resident of North Wales, near Lansdale. The attending physician prescribed treatment that simply involved soaking the feet in warm water laced with vinegar: if vinegar were unavailable the soaking could be done using urine The rationale for the straight up. treatment is that the acid dissolves the carbonaceous spines in a couple of days. Well, there was a game to be played, and even though he lacked immediate relief. Captain Luptowski, leader that he was, bit on the bullet and played with pain as he directed the Huskies to a 30-point winning margin. The game itself was played under International Rules which were presented to the team and staff in a mini lesson minutes before tap-off time. The most significent aspects of the rules involve wider foul lanes somewhat triangular in shape; no back court ten-second violations called until the last three minutes of the half; and no fouls shot until the last three minutes of the half. Thus, with so little to be concerned about, the two officials simply closed their eyes to the ensuing mayhem while everyone on the Husky bench hoped no one would get hurt. It was so brutally phvsical that even the Philly kids admitted it was rough. However, it was the kind of officiating John Willis loves because he played the entire game and was called for only one foul as he took his defender to the hole time after time. Some of the fouling by the host Bucs was so violent it resulted in some players standing around temporarily not knowing which end of the court was theirs. After the game, which was played 85-degree heat, the team was dehydrated, parched and looking for in some tall relaxation. They were also pretty thirsty and with the legal drinking age on the island being 18 they went off in quest of their favorite beverages. A sixer of Millers was only a dollar while soft drinks were $1.20 so their choice was obvious. TTie next few days were spent on the beach ogling bikinis, shopping and sightseeing.

More than 4,000 fans attended the East Stroudsburg and Cheyney games on the hill. The Husky cagers topped ESSC but suffered the season’s first loss against Cheyney. The Huskies had three other losses, all on the road, at the close of the season to finish with a 19-4 record.

However, Floyd “Shorty” Hitchcock regained his 190-lb. state title in the Pennsylvania Conference ing two championships. Edmonds Ron Sheehan and Lon lost title bids in the finals. SWIMMING Coach Eli McLaughlin successfully concluded his eighth consecutive winning season with a record of 10-3. Led by his senior All-American freestyler Dave Gibas and a group of fine up- coming freshman headed by distance freestyler Rick Kozicki, the Huskies climaxed their season by upsetting West Chester State 60-53. It was the second time over the years that Bloomsburg has beaten West Chester. In addition to Gibas, other seniors completing their college careers in dual meet competition were Doug Yocum, Jon Stoner, Jim Koehler, and Steve Coleman. Sophomores who performed well through the year were Dale Alexander and Eric Cureton. Numerous BSC team and Nelson pool records were set by this year’s team.

In May, 1972, a three-member com mittee from the Middle States Association came to the Bloomsburg campus to check with college personnel concerning details in the progress report. At the time of their visit, controversies on campus attracted the attention of the committee and their report expressed three central concerns, namely, (1) vacancies in top administrative positions, (2) faculty morale generated by the general unrest on campus, and the relationship of the college (3) Board of Trustees to total college governance. The three-member committee, as a result of their findings in May, 1972, recommended that a committee visit the Bloomsburg campus again during the fall of 1972.

Hoffman, Class of 1930. It is being reprinted in its entii'ety so that Kaiieen may share her experiences with her classmates and friends: To my good Chinese friends 1972 was the Year of the Rat but to me it was a year of great adventure. In addition to being interviewed by newspaper reporters on two foreign continents and having my picture as well as words recorded in those faraway places I was televised in my own apartment in San Diego. Guess who was one of the passengers when the Lindblad Explorer was shipwrecked in the Antarctic and later among a group attending Soochow University in Taiwan. But before these events Elizabeth and I had the fun of celebrating the holiday season South of the Border. Never have I seen decorations to compare with those in Mexico City nor a more exuberant crowd on New It was a pleasure to Year’s Eve. watch as entire families spent this evening together the children adding much to the fun and gaiety. The latter part of January I flew to Ushnaia, Argentina to begin what I thought must be the most remarkable — was possible to take in this world. I was thrilled with the idea trip it of going to Antarctica, to sail across the Antarctic Circle, to visit the scientific stations, to hear of the studies being made there, and to visit hundI had all reds of penquins. Well this and then in the early morning hours of February 11th the word ad- — venture took on a different meaning as I heard those formidable words ABANDON SHIP! In surprise I thought this may be IT but it has been a good life. I had a few anxious — moments as I gazed down the icy slippery steps to the lifeboat bobbing like a cork in the rough sea but I crept down and safely embarked for a three and a half hour cruise on the rough sea in a blizzard. Can you imagine the wonderful feeling to step on the deck of a rescue ship and be safe in the arms of the Chilean Navy!

During July and August another adventure as I wandered back into the life of a coed with all the various experiences of living in a college dorm and eating Chinese college meals Then on to classes where the five thousand years of history and culture of China made an interesting course with outstanding authorities to guide in the study. A very comprehensive course on Chinese Art in the fabulous National Palace Museum followed by hours of enjoyment admiring the wonderful collections was really super. Sightseeing included all the usual tourist spots plus visits to Congress, acupuncture clinic, Chinese operas, the gorgeous Chung Shan building and climaxed by an eight day tour around this beautiful island. However, my greatest pleasure came with the opportunity to get acquainted with the generation both Chinese and AmeriI can. was impressed with their ideas, opinions and ideals and feel that with such fine youth this world has a great future and that tomorrow will be a better day.

Her concern for student welfare is still reflected in the Kehr-Ward Emergency Loan Fund which she helped establish and direct. In her firm but gentle manner, she was a scholar and a true friend of humanity, and she labored tirelessly which to preserve those traditions were good and useful at BSC. “Dr. Kehr earned the Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Tennessee. the Master of Arts degree at Wellesley College and the Doctor of Philosophy degree at Cornell UniverPrior to coming to Bloomsburg, sity. she had been Dean of Women at Lake Dr. Marguerite Kehr Dr. E.

The new administration building was named in honor of Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., whose many contributions to education were described in the following remarks by Dr. C. Stuart Edwards, ’41, Dean of the School of Professional Studies at BSC. “It is particularly significant that we name for and dedicate the new Administration Building to David J. Waller, Jr., It serves as an affectionate link with the past, maintaining a continuity going back to the original Academy which was the parent institution of Bloomsburg State College. “Waller became Principal of Bloomsburg State Normal School at the age 5, 1973. of 31 at a time when it needed strong and devoted leadership. This he gave for 13 years until appointed Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Commonw'ealth of Pennsylvania in 1890. After leaving that position and serving as Principal at Indiana State Normal School for 13 years, he returned to his “Alma Mater” as chief administrator for 14 years more, until his retirement in 1920. “The year he graduated from this institution - 1869 - Institute Hall, now Carver Hall, was completed, and he and two classmates in one day raised $1,200 to pui’chase the tower bell solid brass and as good as the one in the Presbyterian Church. In 1939, at the age of 93, he rang the bell on Alumni Day to call the community to the campus for the culminating activities celebrating the institution’s centennial year. “D. J. Waller, Jr., earned his A.B. and M.A. at Lafayette College, a Bachelor of Divinity at Union Theological Seminary, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from Juniata College, and an honorary Ph.D. from Lafayette. His abiding impact and influence are demonstrated by a comment made about him in the Morning Press at Page two the time of his retirement by a facmember and former student: ‘In October of 1878 that young principal at once won my respect, confidence, and affection because of his love for the work, his skill as a teacher, his personal interest in each student, and his exalted standards of character. And so the quiet influence of his life, his living, his standards became the ideals of those living under him, a subtle influence that continued to transform the lives of his pupils long after school days ceased.’ “All of this is summarized on the plaque, presented by the Alumni Association in 1922, which has hung for over 50 years in the soon-to-go old Waller Hall and which will become part of the new Waller Administration Building Truth and Virtue Presented to the Bloomsburg State Normal School by its alumni to commemorate the graduation of its 50th class of teachers and the 44 years of educational service to the Commonulty wealth of DAVID JEWETT WAL- LER, JR. as Principal of the State Normal Schools at Bloomsburg and Indiana and as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. “What better inspiration is there for men and women who work in this building and the students who are helped there than the life of the man for which it is named and to whose memory its function is dedicated.” Dr. Marguerite W, Kehr Dr. Marguerite W. Kehr was present for the ceremony in Haas Auditorium as the new College Union was dedicated in her honor. Boyd F.

Guy Bangs, of Orangeville R. D. 1, and Judge George Heffner, of Pottsville, whose terms have the to expired. The appointments are subject to confirmation by the State Senate. Kubeika lives in St. Clair, Schuylkill County, and is the Democratic candidate for mayor in that community. James A. Magee, President of Magee Carpet Co., and Dr. Charles Carlson, Acting President of Bloomsburg State College, are shown with the tapestry of the BSC seal, which has been donated to the college by the trustees of the 'Magee Museum Trust following the announcement to close the local Magee Museums. The college has two more identical tapestries that have hung in the Alumni Room in Waller Hall for many years. At the time the tapestries were designed by Mrs. Herre and made for the college, the Magee Carpet Co. decided that the seal came out so well that an additional one should be made for advertising purposes in conjunction with its custom tufting business. When the latter manufacturing process was phased out, the tapestry was put on display in the Magee Museum. The only stipulation made with the presentation was that the tapestry be retained by the college and under no conditions should it be sold to any individual or organization but to remain the sole property of the institution. It has been placed in (left), the large conference room in the new Waller Administra- tion building. When old Waller Hall is razed in the near future, the other two tapestries will be placed in a new area selected for the Alumni Room.

Spring Sports Teams Round Out Successful Year Three of the four men’s varsity spring sports teams at Bloomsburg State College had either winning or break even records. The baseball team of Coach Clark Boler, which at one point was probably more in contention for a Pennsylvania Conference title than any of the other sports, finished the season with a 9-9 overall record and a 8-6 conference record including the playoff losses. Huskies got off to a fast start and then were slowed down later in the season but made it to the post^ season PC Tournament. In the playoff, Bloomsburg dropped a 5-2 contest to Indiana in the first game and was nudged by Millersville 3-2 in 12 innings in the second which knocked them out of the double-elimination event. Indiana went on to win the conference title. BSC had one of its better tennis in recent years, finishing the season with an 8-3 record. For the first time in the history of the college, Bloomsburg hosted the Pennsylvania Confernce Championships which were played on the new grasstex complex located adjacent to the President’s Residence.

SUMMER, 1973 From instructor to pro- assistant : Judith A. Konscol and Harry Page C. fire SPEECH. HEARING AND LANGUAGE department of commumication Speech, Hearing Clinic on Wheels Helps Solve Communication Problems There have been many new developments on the campus of Bloomsburg State College since the beginning of 1973. But perhaps the most unusual is the extension of Navy Hall form of a mobile speech, hearing and language clinic. The Department of Communication Disorders has added a specially equipped bus to its facilities, enabling the college and surrounding community to benefit directly from their services offered. This van travels extensively in the area surrounding Bloomsburg, in the taking personnel to schools to ermine commmunication det- problems of public school students. A grade teacher in Berwick might glance out the classroom window one morning and see the huge white vehicle parked in front of the school. Maroon and gold letters on the side of the bus announce “Bloomsburg State College, Speech, Hearing, and Language Clinic, Department of third Communication Disorders.” The most unusual feature on the exterior of the bus is the flying wing in the rear. This special provision in the body of the van accommodates a sound-proof auditory testing room in the back, enabling clinicians and clients to stand up in this section. A typical six-hour day may see 400 to 500 youngsters go through the speech bus. Their teacher or school nurse monitors their entrance. WhUe inside, they are given a hearing test, mandatory for grades 1, 2, 3, 7, and 11. Approximately six undergraduates of BSC administer these tests, for- merly given by the school nurse. In future months the mobile unit will be used to diagnose language disorders. The front part can be divided into three small chambers by sliding suitable for administering tests. The air-conditioned vehicle is also equipped with partitions, speech screening two TV cameras and Page six a one-way mir- to be used in video-taping private therapy sessions without disturbing clinician or client. An International Harvester truck chassis is the basis for this customdesigned bus. Under Program Director Dr. James D. Bryden, Chairman of the Department of Communication Disorders, plans were initiated in September, 1971. G. Donald Miller, assistant professor of Communication Disorders, designed the auditory facilities. Miss Colleen Marks, assistant professor of Communication Disorders, supervised the language therapy aids. Robert S. Asby acted as program conror, sultant. Currently under the fulltime supervision of Ned Kramp, and parttime direction of Miss Marks, the speech bus has been on the road since the beginning of February. Federal funds made available through the Elementary and Secondary Educational Act (ESEA) Title III financed the construction and maintenance of the vehicle. Its use has been widespread in the past three months, serving more than two thousand school age children from kindergarten to twelfth grade. Intermediate Units 16, 18, and 29 actually own the bus but it is on “perpetual loan to Bloomsburg State,” noted Dr. Bryden. Although the main purpose of Title III was to promote innovative educational projects in public school districts and to change the country’s attitude toward the general scene of American public education, the speech bus provides other valuable services to the eight-county area surrounding The vehicle is an informative center for student speech clinicians and audiologists, providing Bloomsburg. training in diagnostic testing and therapy. The TV cameras videotape therapy sessions which are later used as teaching aids in Speech Pathology CLINIC disorders classrooms. There is a possibility that in the future industrial hearing tests will be administered from the van. Mr. Kramp hopes to accommodate the vast number of demands for service that have occurred since the first appearance of the curiously shaped speech clinic. Educators in the eastern central part Pennsylvania will become more with BSC’s newest mobile facility in the near future as the Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic hits the road again. of familiar The mobile Speech, Hearing and Language Clinic of BSC’s Department of Communication Disorders is shown at top of this page.

Because he is now firmly committed to the fight against drugs, Michael tells his story, the story of how a typical “nice boy” from a small town becomes part of the drug scene. When Michael was in high school, “drugs” were something taken to cure an illness. But at College, the word “drugs” took on a new meaning for the youth. “I started using ‘speed’ or ‘Bennies’ to stay up all night to study.

I liked it, but I was still not ‘psyched up’ about it,” said Michael. But, for Michael, that was the beginning of his drug habit. He soon graduated to stronger drugs. When a friend brought him a tab of acid from Philadelphia, Michael took it back to his hometown where he decided to ‘make the trip’ in his bedroom. He describes that first encounter with acid in this way: “I decided to make it a musical trip. I remember grass’. Page eight communicate with others.” possible to commented Mike.

I did as he asked, not gan turning money, but for my supply.” Mike admits that he smoked grass and hash every day for four months and also “tripped on acid” every oncefor He admits in-awhile. the point that he got to where drugs were a crutch. “At first, I thought I was being intellectually stimulated by drugs— that they helped me be creative and understand myself and others better. But slowly I realized that pot made me psychologically dependent in that drugs were taking over my personalSmoking pot made me physicality. ly sluggish and turned me into an introvert, which normally I am not. I was at the point where I cut 75 per cent of my classes Mike. “I began to realize that drugs weren’t helping me with my real goal to help people drugs were just messing up the works! It was then that I began to see the dope pushers for what they were and to hate them for it. They weren’t interested in me as an individual just in making a buck,” he added. When a dealer at school again asked Michael to take hash to sell in his home town, he turned it down. He told the dealer he was through with drugs. Then he went to his pastor for in school,” said — — that just when I the state and local police appeared at his door with a search warrant and an order for his arrest. Their search turned up three tabs of mescaline, a hallucinatory drug, in Mike’s closet. It seemed that one of the boys to Mike had earlier sold drugs whom really a narcotics agent. Mike spent the night in jail until his grand father could provide bail. The following weeks Michael spent home in isolation, trying to pick up the pieces of his life. He painted, read, and buried himself in his college textbooks. But, his fight with drugs was not over. “It was a real struggle between my drug personality and the real me. I knew I should stay off drugs, but something kept pounding in my head saying: One more time Mike admitted just one more time Mike. was . . . ’ a little bit with it.” But, after several hours, he began to “come down.” He explained that with acid, a user comes up slowly, reaches a peak, then levels down.

Mike said that when he the was decided to quit the drug scene, I got busted,” said Mike. He recalls that one Saturday night as he sat in his room at home typing a term paper . A friend ended the struggle. He supplied Michael with a “four way paper” (acid that should be split four ways). After taking most of it, Michael went on what is known as “a bummer.” “The bummer really hit me hard.” he said. “I was feeling higher than ever before. When I started to bum, I actually felt my mind leaving my body, as if I were getting closer to death. I couldn’t count to ten. All of a sudden, muscle spasms took over my entire body, I tried drinking a lot of water to get the acid out of my system. I remember feeling as if I could really distinguish between my soul and my body, like I was actually dying.” “I decided to force my mind to do something.

Michael was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment where he lingered for days between life and death. “With the help of doctors, the nurses, and a lot of self-determination, I finally pulled back together. That one bum trip taught me more about drugs than I’ll ever care to know about them,” said Michael, “Believe me, never again. Never!” firmly avowed Michael at that time about drugs.

The new baseball diamond has been named Daniel W. Litwhiler Field. Litwhiler was an outstanding diamond performer at BSC during the late thirties when he played for Dr. E. H. Nelson. Danny played with a number of major league teams, including the Philadelphia PhUlies, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Boston Braves before accepting a position as head baseball coach at Florida State University. Following a very successful tenure there, he was named head baseball coach at Michigan State University. Both projects are expected to be completed early in 1974. The base ball diamond and track should be ready for use that spring, and the football field that fall. The project also includes three practice fields. RECEIVES Ph.D. Michael M.

The new Nelson Field House has given the college a most successful winter sports season. Not only has it served as an adequate area for the winter sports from a campus standpoint, but is has provided thousands of area residents with entertainment. And this should be the case with a state institution. The basketball, swimming, and wrestling squads all matched the class of the new field house. It was a pleasure for fans to view the sports events in a spacious, well-lighted facility. The new football stadium is expected to be used for the first time in September, 1974. This will certainly be an improvement. The other outdoor teams will also taste the new areas for the first time during that school year of 1974-75. Anyone who is affiliated with sports knows of the problems which the coaches and athletic staff encounter when teams must be shuttled off campus Fans feel they are infringing upon student space if they for practices. attend the contests which are held in areas which seat a small number. This was proven last winter when a basketball game was played while students were away. The field house was practically filled as the entire area rallied to replace the students who were not there. If the outdoor areas can meet the quality of the new field house, then Bloomsburg State College will have athletic facilities which are deserving of a school with such an excellent academic record.

Permit No. 10 THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE It is a pleasure to greet you, the alumni, the fourteenth President of Bloomsburg State College. I am honored by tlie recent appointment and welcome this opportunity to provide leadership for the college in these challenging times. I pledge my unstinting efforts to provide a focal point for academic excellence and managerial competence as we work together to meet the challenges of the years ahead. In this effort your support is of prime importance. The neritage and tradition of the Pennsylvania state colleges is very much a part of my background. Three generations of my family are products of Pennsylvania state colleges. For the past eight years, I have enjoyed the privilege of serving Shippensburg State College in a number of capacities. This background of tradition and experience has provided me with a firm understanding of the Pennsylvania state college system, its historical heritage, and its mission for today and the years to come. The Pennsylvania state colleges have experienced an exciting period of growth and change during the 1960’s. It is my feeling that, during the 1970’s, they will continue in a dynamic way to revise their goals and objectives, to broaden their missions and to continue to increase the quality of their educational programs in a way which will enable them to better serve the society which created and supports them. Further, I believe in the future of public higher education in Pennsylv'ania and that these institutions will be involved in a creative, challenging and exciting experience in the next decade. This administration at Bloomsburg \vill be committed to the idea that the college must serve the eitizens of the Commonwealth as a multi-purpose insti- as tution. Economic and social pressures throughout the country are exerting tremendous influences on educational institutions for new services to meet changing needs. The total program of our institution’s academic, cultural, and social goals must be upgraded and expanded to meet these needs. Teacher education remains a major function, but other possible cmricula must be explored, developed, and expanded. Because the college is situated in a growing area of the Commonwealth, it must continue to develop and improve its services as a multi-purpose institution in order to meet the needs of the students and the region it serves. I firmly believe that the state college and university system in Pennsylvania has a vital role to play and a tremendous contribution to make to the eitizens of the Commonwealth. This contribution encompasses not only quality undergraduate and graduate programs but cultural activities, in-service programs, continuing education programs and athletic activities for the regional comunity as well. Tims, the mission of Bloomsburg State College is a changing one. It is important that you, as alumni, are involved in and aware of the changes. As alumni, you can play an important role as “good will ambassadors” for Bloomsburg. Through your efforts, we will be able to reeruit more students, share important information about the college with community groups, and support More than ever, Bloomsburg needs her alumni to know and vital programs. understand her mission — we welcome your help in telling the Bloomsburg story effectively! Mrs. McCormick and I look forward to meeting and greeting personally in the near future. many Bloomsburg State College of you James McCormick Dr. Dr. James H. McCormick, newly president of Bloomsburg State College, believes that a large measure of the success of a college president depends on the degree to which he “can envision new horizons appointed for his institution, and can persuade others to see them and work toward them.’’ “As the chief planning officer of the institution,’’ he has stated, “the president has a special obligation to in- novate and He must assume initiate. responsibility for the direction of cur- rent and long-range planning related to institutional goals, academic programs, teaching approaches, public service, enrollment projections, and physical development.” He added that the president must actively involve all members of the college community in such planning, and he made it clear that he considers the Alumni a constituent group in the college community. Following the announcement of his appointment July 30 by Gov. Milton J. Shapp. Dr. McCormick pledged that “I have a committment to the principles of old-fashioned honesty, openness and truthfulness, and these will be the hallmarks of my administration.” Dr. McCormick, 34, was in California on leave from his duties as Vice President for Administration at Shippensburg State College when the appointment was announced. He was traveling throughout the United States under the auspices of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, visiting selected colleges and universities to study personnel practices and the administrative organization of those institutions. He terminated his trip immediately and returned to Pennsylvania in August to arrange to assume the BSC presidency September 1. He will succeed Dr. Charles Carlson, who has been Acting President the past year. In a statement issued on campus after the appointment was announced. Dr. McCormick AUTUMN, 1973 New President “I am deeply grateful for the honor bestowed upon me by the appointment and welcome the opportunity to pro- vide leadership for Bloomsburg State College. I pledge to all members of the College community my unstinting efforts to provide a focal point for academic excellence and managerial competence as we work together to meet the challenges of the years ahead. In this effort I ask for support of the faculty, the students, the administrative staff, alumni, the Board of Trustees and the citizens of the Bloomsburg area. “It is essential that any college president be able to work in harmony with the many constituent elements of the college community. I have a strong commitment to the collegial concept of administration and believe that the president must confer regularly with colleagues from each of the constituent groups, including the alumni and the Board of Trustees, so that ideas can be discovered, discussed and developed for the improvement and advancement of the institution. In keeping with this collegial concept of administration, I hope to involve the faculty and students as well as members of the administrative team in the process of institutional governance. “Personally, I have been most impressed with the selection process employed by the Presidential Search and Screening Committee. The active involvement of faculty, students, alum- and representatives of the Board of Trustees in this endeavor indicates to me a healthy willingness to work together in harmony for the ultimate best interests of the college.” Educational Background Dr. McCormick has an extensive ni Of B.

Ms. Ward taught at Bloomsburg from 1968-70. NEW RESIDENCE HALL FOR PLANNED 250 IS Nearly a century has passed since the first dormitory built at BSC was destroyed by fire. A year later, the first “wing” of what is now Waller Hall arose on the site of the old building. Two other “wings” were added, about 1890 and 1905, and Waller Hall has since occupied a large portion of the total campus area. Time and the elements, and a lot hard use have taken their toll, and “Old Waller” is scheduled for demolition to provide the site for a new of residence hall for 250 students. Design and planning are nearly completed, and unless costs increase too rapidly, could begin construction early in 1974 with an anticipated completion date by September, 1975. The new building will occupy a much smaller site than the present sprawling structure. As a result more area will be devoted to lawns, and more space will be available for the planting of trees, flowers, and shnibbery. This, in turn, will enhance the beauty of the south entrance to the Kehr College Union. Prior to the beginning of demolition of Waller Hall, new quarters must be found for faculty members, administrative personnel, student organizations, the college store, and the college security office. Some faculty members will be assigned offices for a limited time in the Waller Administration Building, pending the completion of renovations in Navy Hall and Hartline Hall. Others will be assigned to new office areas in Sutliff Hall; all classrooms and offices in Sutliff are air conditioned following the recent completion of a $138,000 project for that purpose. The college store and security office will be moved to the former College Commons. Student offices will move to the Kehr Union. In addition to the 125 student rooms, the new four story residence hall will have a resident advisor’s apartment, study rooms, lounge areas, a TV room, a project room, a laundry room, and storage areas. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY . . Kehr College Union Opens Fountain As Center For Student of Class of 1971 Activities A generous gift Is Gift from the Class of 1915 will enable the completion of a The Kehr College Union, the most recently completed building on the Lower Campus, is expected to become the hub of activities for the entire college community when all furnishings and equipment are installed. It is hoped that the Union will be in full service by the time alumni return to campus for Homecoming Day on Saturday, October 13, 1973. Although the Union was dedicated on May 4, Alumni Day, in honor of Dr. Marguerite Kehr, Dean of Women at BSC for 25 years prior to her retirement in 1953, general construction was not completed until August. The design and planning of the structure began more than five years ago; student leaders and student personnel staff members participated with professional consultants from the architectural firm of Valverde and Franco, Scranton, Penna. to determine the interior space arrangements and according to Boyd Buckingham, Associate Vice President for Development and External area allocations, F. Relations An attractive patio leads to the main entrance of the first level which faces the west end of the campus. This area includes the formal lounge; a game room; the mail receiving and distribution center (including mailboxes for all students who live offcampus); the college bank; a TV room; a locker room for commuting students; several offices; four bowling alleys. The second level is accessible from a patio area on the north side facing the terraces and Montour and Schuylkill Residence Halls. Specialized areas on this floor include a snack bar and dining area; a large multipurpose room which can be subdivided into smaller rooms by means of folding partitions; the college infirmary; a receiving area and loading dock; offices for the director of student activities and his assistant; an information center. The third level may be reached by stair towers on the north, east, and south sides. Offices for student organizations, offices and workrooms for student publications, a game room, conference rooms, and a listening room are among the featured areas on this level. The mechanical room, which houses all the equipment for air-conditioning the entire building, is also located on the third level. John Mulka, director of student activities, and his assistant, John Trathen, have been working for more than two years with the College Union Board to select and order carpet and equipment. The game room on the first floor, the formal lounge, TV room, the hi-fi listening room, and student and administrative offices, will have carpeted floors. The dining area and multi-purpose areas have specially designed floors of wood, impregnated with plastic. Floors in the other areas are either terrazzo or are AUTUMN, 1973 covered with asphalt-vinyl tile. The snack bar and dining area, the multi-purpose room, formal the lounge, and other areas will provide opportunities for students, faculty, parents, alumni, and other guests to meet together and share in a variety of activities. Originally, when the College Union was designed, the college store was to have been located on the first floor. When the equipment and activities are moved to the new Student Union from the temporary student center (formerly the College Commons) the building will be converted to provide attractive and more spacious quarters for the college store. Current plans call for the completion of the new store facilities during the latter semester first of the 1973-74 college year. AMAX GRANT RECEIVED THROUGH KAWNEER CO. For the second consecutive year, an unrestricted grant of $500.00 has been given to Bloomsburg State College by the American Metal Climax Foundation, Inc. on the recommendation of Kawneer Company, Inc., a subsidiary of American Metal Climax, Inc. The grant was forwarded to Dr. Charles Carlson, Acting President of B.S.C., by Robert I. Mendleson, Assistant General Manager of the Kawneer plant at Bloomsburg on behalf of F. Taylor Ostrander, President of the Foundation. In his letter, Mr. Ostrander stated, “This support is being granted as a contribution to your institution for the academic AMAX year, 1972-73.’’ In his expression of gratitude. Dr. Carlson noted that, “A contribution from a local industry such as yours is particularly gratifying since it ofers testimony to faith in the college.

The 1971 class alumni representative and former senior class president, William Cluley, established the initial sculpture fund and the guide lines for a Sculpture Acquisition Committee made up of the Chairman of the Art Department and the sculpture professor plus elected representatives from both faculty and art students. The 9’ Cor-Ten steel fountain sculpture selected by the committee was created by Odell Prather, a nationally known Philadelphia based sculptress, who has been actively engaged in art for architecture since 1953 including stained and slab glass work and free-standing creations such as the Cor-Ten fountain piece. Ms. Prather has studied at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, Tyler School of Fine Art and privately under the German artist Max Marcinie and the sculptor Ronald Darra. She is a member of Artists Equity Association, Guild for Religious Architecture, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance. Mr. Warren A.

Art must be allowed to touch anyone willing to take the time to behold it. And it is to this end that the Department of Art has embarked on a program to erect significant examples of outdoor sculpture on the campus of Blooms burg State College. — The commission completed last year was made possible through a gift from the senior class of 1971. It enabled the erection of a handsome oak structure located between the Bakeless Center for the Humanities and the Andruss Library. Weighing over one ton, the sculpture, entitled “Totem II,” was created by Thomas first Althouse, sculptor-in-residence at Lehigh University. The piece was selected by a Sculpture Acquisition Committee consisting of the department chairman, two members of the art department, and a senior art student. The second acquisition, also made by a gift from the Class of 1971, is in the form of a Cor-Ten steel fountain piece designed by Ms. Odell Prather, a sculptress from the Philadelphia area. This unusual outdoor sculpturefountain will be located in a specially designed reflecting pond constructed of concrete, faced with brick in the vicinity of the Andiaiss Library in an area that will eventually serve as a pedestrian mall between the library and Bakeless Hall. The most recent project consists of a pair of environmental “Tonal Sculptures” designed by Joseph Moss from University of Delaware who has been experimenting with auditory-kinetic sculpture for the past two years under the sponsorship of a university grant. Sensitive to sound and the interaction of people are two 9’ high black fiber glass reflectors on Cor-Ten steel bases located in front of the Haas Center for the Arts. Mosses’ works have been made possible through a grant by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, and represents the first grant of this type for a work of art in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sports fans had an opportunity for the first time this year to view a grouping of bronze “Huskies” installed in the entryway of the new Nelson Fieldhouse located on the upper campus. This project was funded through a class gift which paid for the bronze casting of this handsome sculpture by a former art department faculty member, Howell Pinkston. Members of the art department worked together AUTUMN, 1973 Schedules with the architect to install this onehalf ton wall relief. Small sculptural works located in various buildings throughout the campus include a brass and plexiglas sculpture by J. J. Kelly, author of “The Sculptural Idea” and a professor of art at Kutztown State College; a Cor-Ten steel wall relief by Arturo Bassols, a Cuban born sculptor called “Nereid” located in the foyer of Bakeless Hall; a luminetic “Light Column” by Dr. Walter F. Groer of CarnegieMellon University in Pittsburgh; and ceramic sculptures by Ronald F. Bower, a former Blooms burg State College art faculty member and Olen Bryant, a sculptor from Tennessee. In order to continue the acquisition of significant examples of sculptural work, the department of art needs additional funds. An account was established in the Bloomsburg Foundation in 1971 to accept and disburse monies for the acquisition of sculpture and a committee formed at that time to select appropriate works to enhance the campus. 9-15 9-22 9-29 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Shippensburg H *Lock Haven A Mansfield A Westminister H West Chester H 10- 6 10-13 10-20 Millersville 10-27 Cheyney 11- 3 Kutztown 11-10 East Stroudsburg A H A H 10-15 10-22 11- 5 Mansfield Shippensburg Millersville Kutztown COACH : Bill A A H H 1:30 8:00 1:30 2:00 2:00 2:00 1:30 2:00 1:30 1:30 3:00 3:00 2:00 Sproule X-COUNTRY PROSPECTS DEPEND ON FROSH Coach Clyde Noble has indicated the prospects for this season are somewhat vague at the present time due to the question mark concerning incoming freshmen. Noble has made a number of contacts with good runners who will be matriculating at Bloomsburg and who will hopefully report for the team during the first week of classes. The squad main 12-12 12-15 from last year’s is Terry Lee, an outstanding runner who graduated in May. Three loss — seniors will be in uniform this year Bob Quairoli, Mike Hippie, and Larry Horwitz, along with junior Bart Grimm. These four are steady performers and with the help of incoming freshmen, Noble should improve on last year’s 2-8 record. The Husky schedule calls for a quad-meet and two tri-meets at home and three single engagements on the road with the Pennsylvania Conference Championships to be held at West Chester on November 3.

The Board of Directors also discussed and emphasized that the McNinch Loan Fund has money available for students’ use. These funds are pai'ticularly for sophomores and juniors but under certain conditions freshmen are also eligible. This was emphasized in view of the recent rise in tuition at state colleges. A report was given on the recent plea for funds with which to operate the general fund in view of the fact that the Foundation, which has been rather dormant during the past year, has not been able to contribute money to the general operation. The emergency request in the spring Alumni Quarterly and a general letter in July Page eleven have brought in approximately $2,000. The cost of an Alumni Quarterly, the next one being published September Board members 15, is about $1,500. were urged to continue to request that Alumni members express their Cracken, 330 N.

Early returns from our recent plea indicate that the financial situation of the Alumni Association is vastly improved. To refresh our memories, the Foundation had taken over the Association’s financial responsibility, and promised to provide the necessary money to meet our budget. However, the Foundation met with some difficulties during the 1971-72 college year, was virtually dormant during the 1972-73 college year, and could not provide funds necessary for Association needs. During the latter months of 1972, officials of the Foundation and the Alumni Association agreed to have the Association resume its own fund-raising program. The cost of the Alumni Quarterly alone is a substantial figure. We hope that the summary which you received recently will explain how the money is spent. To those who have contributed, we issue a big “thank you.’’ If you have not found it convenient to contribute, we hope you will do so as soon as possible. Your Association needs you. Late news announced the appointment of Dr. James H. McCormick as the new president of BSC. We are happy to welcome him to our group, and we note that he believes the Alumni Association to be a very important part of the college community. The Alumni Association Board of Directors also desires to express great appreciation to Dr. Charles Carlson, who demonstrated a sincere interest in the Association during his time as Acting President. His was a real task, but he still found time to meet with our Board of Directors and with small special groups. Congratulations to both Dr. Carlson and Dr. McCormick. Cordially, C, (7 Millard C.

Bloomsburg State College BSC Looks Ahead and Outlines Neiu Goals The Pennsylvania Department of Education has directed each of the 14 State Colleges and University to establish a Presidential Planning Commission for the purpose of drafting a long-range plan for its role in meeting the needs of the future in higher education in Pennsylvania. During the Pall each institution submitted to the department an initial and tentative statement from the institution’s perspective concerning its concept of the institution’s role for the future. After review in Harrisburg the initial statement will be revis^ and used as a basis for a more detailed and comprehensive longrange plan. The final plan is to be in May. The following “Concept Document’’ was submitted by the BSC Presidents ial Planning Commission as its initr ial and tentative statement concerning the missions and future of the col- completed lege: Institutional Philosophy Bloomsburg State College is dedicated to intellectual and academic excellence. The college community seeks understand changing scientific, ecologic, and human needs in the world and, in order to achieve and maintain this excellence and to the imderstanding, the institution finds it appropriate to commit itself further to a certain set of beliefs: Eklucation consists of 1. much more than coursework assignments, degrees, and the simple gathering of facts. Rather, education is the maturing of the mind and the emotions, it is the acquiring of values and attitudes; it is a liberating process in which the interrelationships of all of life’s experiences become understand- able. Genuinely free inquiry has great 2. value. It also solves problems, helps in bringing about positive change, and is an important factor in the liberating process called educaintrinsic tion. 3. Every person is unique and deserving of dignity. Education should involve the whole person and should provide a life-long opportunity to pursue that special self-fuUfillment which education can bring. 4. Technology and its products have helped to solve maior problems over the years. However, the ability of people to deal with one another effectively and without rancor has not kept pace with the development of ON THE COVER B.S.C.’s new athletic are looking fields shown in this airview Center is the new football field, with 4,000-seat concrete stands which wUl be ready for the north. 1974 season. On new diamond and on the baseball the right is the behind the Nelson Field House, are new practice fields. left, that technology. Mankind has not yet learned to accommodate the results of advanced technology to the 5. continuation of a productive life. Education in general and institutions of higher learning in particular have important responsibilities in helping to develop that accommodation. Higher education is not an end in itself. Rather, it is a tool used for personal development and the impro- vement of human society. While the service area of Bloomsburg State College is in many ways as broad as society itself, the college recognizes a special responsibility to the people, organizations, and institutions in areas connected with it by virtue of tradition, transportation networks, geographical closeness, and special service relationships. These beliefs demand that the college continuously reevaluate its programs and its allocation of resources which support those programs. ’These beliefs also find expression in the following missions of the college. Missions 1. The college shall first serve the citizens of the Commonwealth by offering to all who seek it a liberalizing and general education. ’This liberal education lies at the heart of the institution’s efforts, and aU other missions of the college stem from this central core. 2. While continuing its commitment to the preparation of elementary and secondary classroom teachers of quality, the college will adjust the numbers of these teachers in the future in response to the needs of the Commonwealth and of this region. The college will continue to respond both to the desires of students and to the needs of society. The college’s preparation of teachers will continue its refinement on the basis of competency to teach. 3. It will continue to strengthen and will slightly enlarge its programs in business. Noticeable growth wUl occur in the areas of management, finance, marketing, and information systems. 4. It will strengthen selected graduate programs, will develop several new programs of graduate study, and will conduct and encourage instruction-related research by its student body and 5. means 1974 its faculty. will measurably expand, by of both interinstitutional co- operative efforts and independent initiative, opportunities for the continuing, life-time education of the citizens of this region. The extent tc which this function will become a major activity of the college can be seen under Objectives, which follow. 6. It will provide a responsive and resDonsible effort in serving the nublic of the region through the utilization of the college’s human, intellectual, professional, and physical resources. ’This service will be notable in its willingness to go to where the people are, in its resource-team approach to the problems of the region, and in its the WINTER, It departure from a dependence upon traditional evening course/con- ference efforts of the past, 7.

By the end of the next ten years, the number of baccalaureate graduates in business will have risen from the present 145 to approximately 200 annually. A number of sub-baccalaureate programs in this area will have been begun by that time also. The number and variety of workstudy and internship-type experiences win have increased dramatically within that same time span. Additional development of business executive preparation programs will occur within five years. With regard to graduate prothe college is currently reexamining the structure and qualtiy of its graduate offerings. It has sharpened its distinction between professional programs (for which there is an institutional res- grams and research, ponsibility for ensuring competence.) and those programs a in the academic “applied” nature (which programs are related more closely to individual student aims and faculty strength). Seyeral existing programs are under critical review. Several potential programs, such as those in economics, Ijuslof less ness, political science, earth science and psvchology, are being studied. Within five years the college will have Page two They quire an will become the responsibility of a new dean, that position to be established at the beginning of the 197475 academic year. Ten to fifteen percent of the institution’s budget will support these efforts within five years.

All of these programs are now, or win be in operation within five years. ity The college is now establishing an increased level of understanding, cooperation, and integration of instruction with the junior and community colleges located closest to Bloomsburg. As those conversations continue and as unmet needs surface during the next five years, the college will offer post-secondary programs with vocational goals. ’These programs will draw upon existing faculty 7. strength augmented by the efforts of resource persons in nearby communities 8. . The major new program of the the integrated program in college, health care deliyery systems, will be developed in three phases: A. During the first two years, consolidation and integration of existing programs in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre- veterinary medicine, medical technology, public school nursing, and dental hygiene will occur. In addition, formal and cooperative ar- rangements will be undertaken with area institutions delivering health care. B. Beginning at the same time but continuing into the future, additional baccalaureate and vocational programs in such areas as nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, cytotechnology, radiologic technology, electroencephalographic and electrocardiographic techniques and skills, medical and biological photography, hospital computer programming, medical records techniques, medical secretarial science, inhalation therapy, optometric techniques, and optician training will be studied and probably developed. C. In anproximately five years, these programs will be consolidated further under a major new organizational unit of the college. Additional facilities and staff, some holding joint appointment with area institutions, will be added. 9A. By the end of the next ten years, the college will have reached a level of 6500 full-time equivalent students, of whom only 4000 will be full-time re- and nondegree, mdividuaily-tanored programs m career reorientation, personal development, and other dissimilar activities.

Within five years the college will have completed its plan of establishing internship, work-study leave, and/or similar devices in virtually all programs of an “applied” nature. Further refinement and development will occur on a continuous basis. 9C. Although the nature of the institution’s student body will change during the next ten years, the need to maintain a responsive professional student life staff oriented toward nonclassroom education will continue. While no significant growth in size is projected for this staff, duties its will diversify. 9D. Within five years the viability of the college’s cultural and fine arts programs will be increased through appropriate reassignment of resources and efforts from within the college, and despite severe strictures placed upon the fiscal support of this activduring the current year, the aggressive and continuing development ity of Andruss Library wUl be in the summer of 1974. resumed 9F. Specific goals related to the affirmative action mission of the college can be found in the college’s affirmaitve action plan, established in accord with the recommendations of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. Rationale This document portrays a college conduct many of its programs along predictable development- which will al lines. No rationale is offered for these plans. But the paper also describes four major new changes in emphasis or direction for Bloomsburg State College: the significant reduction of teacher education degree recipients, the development of major efforts in continuing education and public service, the initiation of postsecondary vocational programs below the baccalaureate level, and the mounting of a major new and inte- grated program in health care delivery systems. These changes call for substantiation. Bloomsburg State College has had increasing difficulty in placing its teacher education graduates (except in such fields as business education, special education, and communication disorders) in the past few years. This factor, combined with national and Commonwealth manpower needs requires that the number of teachers prepared by the college be reduced. This institution will experience a reduction in the number of 18-22 year old applicants for admission in the immediate future. At the same time, the people of the Susquehanna flood plain will be experiencing those social studies, forces which demand retraining, en- richment, and career reorientation. As industry and communities continue to develop throughout the area, the skills represented on the staff of the college can be of increasing use in THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY ; that development. The program In public service and continuing education will be the institution’s reaction to these factors. No junior or community college lies within almost fifty miles of Bloomsburg. Further, those lying just outside that commuting radius offer a limited number of programs in vocational preparation. With its broader resources special physical plant and faculty resources, the proximity of several major health care delivery institutions, and the lack of comprehensive and integrated health care education programs in this part of the Commonwealth all argue for the development of a program such as the one outlined in this document. The college has received encouragment and support for its plan from the staffs of most neighboring health care institutions. Changes To Be Made Within Years 1-5 All objective statements above, with the exception of objectives 1, 9C, and 9P, contain descriptions of changes anticipated within this time period. Please refer to that section for those descriptions. Description of New FacUities Needed In general, the college’s plan requires no extensive new construction within the next decade. Better utilization of existing campus facilities and of land currently owned by state, county, and other governmental agencies (parks, state hospital, and municipal facilities and structures) can meet many of the facility needs of the programs outlined above. It is clear, however, that renovation, remodeling, redesign, and replacement of some existing facilities will be required as the internal functions of the college are realigned. Some rental or lease arrangements may also be required to support the public service and continuing education function. Due to the college’s intent to broaden and diversify its curricular approaches, a learning research center is advisable to implement greater inquiry into the learning process. ’The function of this facility would be that of Improving the teacher-learning process. Such a facilitv would simultaneously serve faculty research projects, student research, special projects and services, and projects involving members and agencies of the community. A precise description of this facility is not possible at this time. The principal facilitv required by the plans outlined in this document, however, is that required for the long-range support of the programs encompassed by the new organizational unit devoted to education In the health care delivery system area. The location and specific nature of this facilitv will be dictated bv the nature of the programs themselves, but the reouirement for a new and malor facilitv to support these programs is now annarent.

NO RETRENCHMENT OF FACULTY NEXT YEAR The following “Statement of Mutual Understanding” was released early in December by Dr. James H. McCormick, President of Bloomsburg State College, and William Acierno, President of the BSC Faculty Association, APSCUF/PAHE. The state- ment was signed in Harrisburg by David W. Hornbeck, for the Commonwealth/Colleges. and Patricia C. Johnson, for APSCUF/PAHE. of the COMMONWEALTH/COLLEGES and of APSCU F/PAHE have met to discuss program Representatives changes having implications for retrenchment of some faculty members. In the spirit of cooperative concern with the development of excellence in the educational opportunities provided through the Colleges, the representatives herewith report on their discussions and express their mutual understandings of three maior conclusions. First, the COMMONWEALTH/COLLEGES announces that for the aca- demic year 1974-1975, no retrenchment will occur in the following groups of regular full-time faculty members: tenured faculty, first-year and secondyear faculty members eligible for re- newal: faculty members beyond the second-year who are eligible for re- newal and have not attained the age Furthermore, the contractual and legal rights of all employees of the Commonwealth will be observed. of 65. Evening Division Course Offerings Are Increased In an endeavor to provide increased opportunities for area residents, Bloomsburg State College plans to increase its evening division course offerings, to implement a pro- educational gram of mini-courses, and to allow attendance for self-improvement in certain degree classes this Spring semester. The Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with the Office of Continuing Education at the College acting as an intermediary for dissemination and planning in these programs as well as in future ones. Evening division credit courses are being increased from thirty-five offerings to approximately sixty-five. Introductory courses are being offered in most departments with a variety of courses available. A sample of offerings which may be of special interest to Chamber members includes Business and Professional Speech, Business Law, and Personnel Management. At the present time qualifications for enrollment as a continuing education student in the evening division are a high school diploma and completion of a two-page application form which may be obtained from the College Admission Office (389-3316). A complete list of course offerings may be obtained from the Office of Continuing Education (389-3300). Mini courses which are short-term non-credit courses are also included in plans for the coming semester. These courses are designed to serve specific needs or interests of the community. Far reaching in their scope, these can be further study of current issues, reviewing of previously developed skills, or retraining for new employment opportunities. Chamber members could utilize these as in-service programs, personnel management, furthering secretarial skills. Based on the assesment of business, professional, and industrial needs, the Office of Continuing Education is available for planning and implementing specific e.g. programs Certain regular college courses are being made available to any interested individual for self Improvement purposes only not for credit or audit. These are offered for a nominal fee and no admission requirements have to be met. ’This program is designed for those interested in increasing their own knowledge in a subject or field, without obtaining a grade or credit for — it. ’These modifications are part of the College’s effort to responsibiv .<;prve the public of the region through effective utilization of its resources. LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP Robert Richey, Dept, of Speech, has been awarded a Lifetime Membership in the Players’ Club Foundation. ’The Players’ Club Foundation is the oldest community theatre in Ohio and it presented Mr. Richey this Lifetime Membership on the occasion of the Club’s 50th Anniversary. Mr. Richey was director of the Columbus, Ohio Players’ Club from 1958-1963.

Page three : Norton, Koncsol, Hopple to Serve Neuf Posts for Balance of Year In Dr. Hopple Dr. Lee C. Hopple, professor in the Geography and Earth Science De- partment at Bloomsburg State College, has been a member of the faculty since September, 1961. Dr. Hopple is currently a member of the Long-Range Planning Commission of the college and is vice-president of the Association of State College and University Professors (APSCUF) and serves on the Executive Board of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). This past June Dr Hopple w'as the BSC faculty representative to the conference entitled, “Planning for Change’’, a higher education institute sponsored by tht Pennsylvania Department of Educa which was held at Millers ville. He also is a member of the Faculty Promotion Committee and recently completed a term on the Nomination and Elections Committee. A native of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Hopple received his Bachelor of Science degree in education at Kutztown State College and his Master of Science degree in geography at Penn State. He received his Doctor of Philosophy degree at Penn State in tion, Dean Norton The following Ms. Koncsol announcement was made by Dr. James H. McCormick, BSC president, in December: was the intention of this office to fill the vacant position of Assistant to the President as soon as possible. It was anticipated that the position title It would be changed to Executive Assistant to the President, and the responsibilities of the position would include one-half time as Assistant to the President and one-half time devoted to long-range planning and affirmative action efforts. As a result of the announcement, a number of candidates expressed interest in the position, and several persons were interviewed. Due to the current financial situation, however, it seems inadvisable to pursue efforts to fill the position with new personnel present time. Consequently, the following temporary appointments are being made Mr. Robert Norton, currently Dean of Student Life, will be appointed as Acting Assistant to the President. He wUl serve one-half time in the President’s Office and remain onehalf time in the Student Life area. Vice President Pickett will continue his resDonsibUities as Vice Chairman at the of the Planning Commission. He will be assisted in the planning effort on a part-time basis by Dr. Lee Hopple, Professor of Geography. It is essential that the Planning Commission many utilize the talents of members of the academic community. Earlier this year. Vice President Pickett assumed responsibility for affirmative action. Ms. Judith Koncsol. Assistant Dean of Student Life, be named Acting Affirmative Action Officer, responsible to Vice President Pickett in this area, but will also continue some of her assignments in the Student Life program. Our objective is to continue recruitment procedures during the Soring semester in order that the permanent appointment of an Executive Assistant can be made for the next fiscal will year.

ALUMNI DAY, APRIL 27, 1974 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY REPORT OF ALUMNI BOARD MEETING This is a report of the BSC Alumni Association Board of Directors Meeting held Saturday, December 8: Approval to begin a drive for funds to establish the office of an executive director and action to increase the number on the board of directors highlighted the meeting of the Bloomsburg Alumni Association College State board of directors in a busy session held in the Scranton Commons Saturday. It has been felt for some time by the board that an executive director is In order to attempt sorely needed. to carry out many of the programs which the various committees have recommended, it will be necessary to employ a full time director. In order to do that the Alumni Association (which numbers more than 14,000) will be asked to contribute to this fund which will make this a reality. Announcement will be made in the Quarterly which will be published Direct mailing will also in January. be used in order to inform the Alumni of the planned program. The board of directors hopes to expand due to the many areas which hopefully will be covered during the next few years. Francis Galinski, Doylestown, chairman; Dr. Frank Furgele, Glen MiUs; Dr. Alex McKechnie, Camp Hill; and Clayton Hinkel, Bloomsburg, are serving on that committee. This group will recommend the number of proposed increases in board membership plus a rotating system of serving on the board. Student loans were also discussed during the two and one half hour business meeting. The directors stressed the fact that the Alumni Association has money for student needs and loans are readily available through the financial aid office or the counseling office. Clayton Hinkel reported that two Distinguished Service Awards will be given at Alumni Day on April 27. Earl Gehrig, treasurer, reported on finances of the Association. Boyd Buckingham, Associate Vice President for Development and Public Relations at BSC, reported on the December 4 trip to Harrisburg by students of Bloomsburg State. He stated that the faculty who accompanied the group were proud of the conduct and appearance of the students. The Al- umni Association had financially aided in the cost of transportation. Buckingham also annuonced that the college will provide supportive services if and when the Alumni Association appoints an executive director for the group. In addition to the drive for this important office, the constitution committee (which brought forth this recommendation) also came up with some other recommendations for consideration among them. Alumni members hosting college functions organization of regional meetings; and methods of acquainting new students with the college. It was felt that many of these important ventures will depend upon the naming of an executive director.

As a result of experience, participants will be able to say, “I was there in Spain" and answer more questions relative to the people themselves and their way of life. Additionally, the student will gain a greater command of the Spanish language, since Spanish will be spoken by the group throughout the program. The program also includes trips to Toledo, Monasterio del Escorial, Valle de los Caidos, and Avila or Segovia.

Hartman 180 Crabapple Lane Bloomsburg, Pa. 17815 Volume LXXIV, Number 3, 1973 Class Appointee Winter, 1974 With this issue of the Alumni Quarterly 1 am officially announcing a revolutionary plan in the operation of the Bloomsburg State College Alumni Association as proposed by the Board of Directors at the December 8 meeting. It is planned to secure the services of a full time Executive Director of the Alumni Association and to considerably expand our operations. In order to accomplish all of this the directors decided to conduct an effective drive which will realize returns of approximately $50,000. I will hastily state that no money will be wasted. However, the committee on revision of the constitution took a long look at our operation and definitely felt that the Association should be attempting and accomplishing on a larger scale. In order to do this, a full time executive director is mandatory. The Board of Directors now serving are a dedicated group, and all have done well in their fields of endeavor. Without exception, this Board feels that Bloomsburg State was responsible for their start in the professional world, and they will forever be grateful. We hope that you feel the same way. Most state colleges have far surpassed Bloomsburg in the matter of contributing to the Alumni FYind, but prior to this venture, we have not felt the need for heavy solicitation. Much of the material in this Quarterly is angled toward this new movement. If you will help us in this endeavor, we are certain that we can produce results which will make you proud to be an Alumni Association member of the Bloomsburg State College. Sincerely, Millard C.

Since that time, seven writing task forces have been formed to develop and describe in greater detail how the missions shall be accomplished, and the human and fiscal resources and the physical plant needed to strengthen or expand existing programs as new programs. Approximately 140 faculty, students, trustees, alumni, and community leaders have spent countless hours preparing these reports and attending hearings to discuss and evaluate their work. A team of writers has integrated these reports and the expanded documents were submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education on May 1, 1974. This has been a very constructive, positive, and exciting example of the kind of college and communwell as to develop ity we plan to continue. we received the good news cooperation which Early in March, that the State Legislature had passed and Governor Shapp had signed a bill providing badly needed additional funds for the operation of the thirteen State Colleges and Indiana University during the 1973-1974 college year. Your alma mater received a sufficient amount to pay salaries and wages, to restore depleted inventories of instructional and maintenance supplies, to make a substantial increase in the purchase of library books, and to complete critical repair projects. During the March meeting of the Board of Trustees, we were encouraged by reports from both the admissions and placement offices. A detailed account of both reports are included in this issue of the Quarterly. We are expecting to maintain our current enrollment of 4,300 full-time undergraduate students for September, 1974. This is a positive reflection on the outstanding work being done by Mr. Tom Cooper and the staff of the Admissions Office, and the cooperation of faculty, students, and alumni who have aided in Our this effort. career counseling and placement office reports that 85 percent of the class, who were available for employment, have been placed in which they prepared at BSC. This is an improvement over last year’s record, and is a good omen for the Class of 1974. We feel that Mr. Thomas Davies and his staff are to be commended, as well as all alumni who have so favorably impressed their employers that the latter are willing and happy to offer positions to current graduates. Those of you who follow the fortunes of our varsity athletic teams will be happy to read of the very successful season experienced by the wrestling, swimming, and basketball squads, along with honors gained by several individuals. Team members and coaches are deserving of our support and appreciation for 1973 graduating positions for a job well done. We are having a very busy and very constructive year at your alma mater. what we have done and hope to do could not be accompHshed without your continuing cooperation.

There seems to be a continuing process of employ- ment throughout the year.” the Davies said the services of placement office are available to all a’umni.

I’d like to example, we could not get in touch with 18 of our 1973 graduates. Even their parents didn’t know where they were. If we could not locate them, we could not count them as being meaningfully employed.” The term ‘meaningfully employed’ is a criteria used by the placement office, Davis explained. It refers to career-tj^e positions. Persons who have part-time jobs, or are considered to be only temporarily employed, are counted as not being placed.

You can help, as many alumni are doing, by putting in a good word for B.S.C. and by with prospective students, sending the Admissions office the names of those students so appropriate information can be mailed to them. “Colleges and universities throughout the country are experiencing a decline in the number of applications admission,” Cooper explains. “Among the reasons for this are the end to the military draft, increased for cost, credibility for vocational training, declining birth rates, employment opportunities for college grad- uates, and changing cultural values.

In addition our Action Plan proved to be invaluable both in the final aration of our 1974-75 budget, and in the preliminary preparation of our get for the 1975-76 fiscal year. a Perhaps the most exciting and rewarding results of our planning effort were the selection of a Director of Nursing to plan for the implementation of a new program in Nursing, expansion of the School of Business, initiation of an Outw’ard Bound program, increased opportunities for citizens interested in l.ifelong Learning Experience and continued emphasis on the already existing programs of excellence in Arts and Science, Teacher Education and graduate stuay.

Dr. Andruss was BSC President from 1939 to 1969 and Howard Fenstemaker was President of the Alumni Association from 1962 to 1973. “Bloomsburg State College has always fielded great teams and we have done it again by pairing the talents of Dr. Andruss and Howard Fenste- maker lead the Association in reaching our goal of $50,000 during the next 18 months,” said Ludwig. to The campaign, to be launched this Fall, will consist of several phases of solicitation.

Nelson Litwhiler baseball FALL, 1974 Committee a Special Gifts make personal calls on a selected list of Alumni to ask “We can reach our goal with the help of every member of the Alumni Association,” said Fenstemaker, “and I don’t mean just dollars but volunteer help too. This is a big job and it will require the cooperation of several hundred individuals to achieve success. Please say yes, when you are asked to work in the campaign organization.” The benefits to each alumnus are very worthwhile and will put the BSC Alumni Association on an equal footing with other comparable colleges. For example, with a full-time Alumni Executive Director you gain: unified coordination of all alumni affairs, easy access to information on admissions, job opportunities, and help with class reunions. Further, your gift dollars will be directed to activfor gifts of $100 or more. During this period, class representatives will be signing appeal letters and assisting the Alumni office in reaching every member with information by mail. To wrap up the intensive effort next Spring, a series of “telethons” are planned in areas where there are high concentrations of BSC Alumni, ities and programs not funded by state money such as specialized learning equipment, an annual lecture series, special events and the expansion of our successful loan — erous subscription may be paid in installments over the next year and a half, to enable you to consider a gift in the range suggested below.

Lost from last year’s squad are 12 starters and three other seniors that saw considerable action. Included in the loss of players is the entire starting backfield. Sproule and his assistants plan on a number of offensive changes, including a muchimproved passing game. Returning quarterback Stan Gurecki, wUl be challenged for the number one signal Bill calling position by Ken Haynie and Gene Markoski. The BSC defensive unit came on strong towards the end of the season and Sproule feels that continued improvement is needed on defense in order for the Huskies to win consistently. Fortunately, many of the young players picked up valuable experience last year. Two main problem areas will be the interior offensive line and finding a big, tough fullback to replace George Gruber and John James. Two fine wide receivers, Joe Courier and converted quarterback Gerald Hoban, will help make the deep pass a threat. Other outstanding performers should be Charles Bender, defensive back. Line Welles, defensive back and punter, Dave Kelley, offensive tackle, and Gene Rejent, defensive end. Tricaptains are Bender, Hoban and last year, FALL, 1974 Reservations for overnight directly with the Magee Rejent.

FALL, 1974 Page seven Two-Year Action Plan During the past year nearly the encampus family of students, facperadministration and staff sonnel as well as alumni and community representatives participated in the preparation of a Two-Year Action Plan for Blooms burg State College. The plan, a road map into the future of for B.S.C. proposes refinement traditional curricula and development of new programs to meet the changing educational needs of a large, diverse student body and a rapidly changing tire ulty, , society. The document is print for 1974-1976. a working blue- Some of the pro- posed changes are being implemented this year. Two departments have been created in the School of Business; a Director of Nursing has been appointed to plan and prepare for enrollment of students in the Nursing curriculum in September, 1975; and the faculty in the Departments of Special Education, Communication Disorders, Phychology and Sociology have been strengthened. The summary that follows stract of the major ideas is an abin the action plan. MISSION I: Liberal Studies In general, instruction offered by the seventeen academic departments of the School of Arts and Sciences, whether applied by the student to his required effort in general education, an advanced major study for a B.A. degree or to an area concentration or to qualification for the various B.S. degrees and programs of the college, is interpreted in this report to be training in Liberal Education. Under this interpretation, at present, 75% of the instruction in the college and 67.2% of the effoils of the faculty are devoted to Liberal Education. Whatever plans are adopted future, this proportion effort required of the of the education in academic departments will very likely remain approximately the same. The primary goal of Liberal Education is to guide all the students of the college along the path towards rational self-determination, and to enable them to develop basic skills in the arts of thinking, reading and oral and written expression. The second purpose is to provide specialized training to those students preparing for professional courses in medicine, law, the ministry, the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sci- ences Although the general purposes of the . liberal arts program \^1 remain the same in the next five years, specific adjustments will be made in various categories of instruction offered by the college because of several relevant changes in the needs of the stu- dents and the region served by the Among these changes are an increased need for diverse study college. programs, a reduced demand for primary and secondary school teachers, an increased need for educated workers time in social in the Page eight services, general more leisure population, a Blueprint for B.S.C Future is greatly increased participation by minority groups and women in the general affairs of society, an increased need to respond to conditions produced by the recent accelerated growth of knowledge, and the rapidly increased rate of obsolescence in many occupations owing to technological and social change. In order to implement its continuing purposes more effectviely than it has in the past, and in order to accommodate the foregoing changes in educational needs in the liberal arts, the college proposes to encourage the expansion of faculty concern about problems related to the stduents’ facility in oral and written communications, to increase the emphasis in the liberal arts on the interrelated nature of the branches of knowledge taught in present courses of the vari- academic departments, and our with these interrelationships in mind to develop projects in several broad areas requiring interdisciplinary stu- — dies. More specifically, these course pro- programs would involve such diverse activities as Environmental Science, Health Care, integration of the library and computer science with other disciplines, establishing studies leading to positions in the governmental services and administration, expanding pre-professional programs, integrating quantitative methods with studies in the natural and social sciences together with those in humanities, extending support for the Center jects or Economic Education through new course alignments, integration of the study of foreign languages with other for disciplines, setting up programs in Human Sciences, establishing an interdisciplinary major in Computer Sciences, implementing an A. B.A. Program in Social Administration and Rural-Urban Affairs, organizing a Bachelor of Social Work pro^am in Social Welfare, and developing the Outward Bound program. Further proposals would call for expanding Blooms burg’s cooperation with other educational, medical, stateinstitutional and information-collecting and retrieving institutions in the College’s area of influence; and for extending the services of the College to a larger proportion of the citizens of the Commonwealth, including disadvantaged and minority groups, adults beyond the age of 18-22 years, and part-time students of all ages. To meet the needs of this redirection of effort and expansion of influ- ence, the College’s programs in liberal studies will require a moderate increase in financial support by the Comonwealth in the 1974-1975 academic year, and a further projected cumulative increase in each succeeding year for at least five years. Wherever possible, the College will seek grants and gifts to support its new expanded efforts in this area. If the College gains the required support and proceeds to develop its liberal studies programs along the general lines herein described, it will more effectively serve the Common- which the community toward energies are directed. and wealth its MISSION II: Teacher Education Most of the faculty of this College is committed to some degree to the instruction of students in teacher eduEven with an impending recation. duction in the number of teacher students, this effort will continue, for the education of a teacher involves not only preparation of a professional nature, but it also includes all of the spheres of recognized knowledge inherent in a liberal education. In the immdeiate future a decrease in the 18-22 year-old group of undergraduate students enrolled in teacher education in programs is anticipated, except in the areas of Communication Disorders and Special Education. Despite this decline, it is possible that associated staffing levels will not be reduced. Rather, they might be redir- ected toward (1) reducing excessive class size and overload; ing graduate programs (2) at support- a level more nearly in harmony with demand; (3) providing in-service educar tion for practicing teachers; de- (4) new undergraduate programs veloping Childhood education, ReadEnvironmental Education; developing training programs in Early ing, and and (5) for para-professionals. Although the college’s Reading Clin- sponsors primarily a graduate program, modest expansion in its facilities and personnel is projected in order to (1) accommodate the demands of an increasing number of graduate students; (2) make clinical practice a critical part of the experience of undergraduates in teacher education and (3) provide developmental (remedial) programs for undergraduate students in need in this ic ^ area. A clear commitment to Competencybased Teacher Education is part of this mission, with definite steps al- ready taken to move all programs from a time/credit base to a performance/credit base. The impliin this commitment include greater faculty and space flexibility. A natural outcome is the need for an Experimental Learning Center to house faculty, clinics, and other facilities for a transient student population of all ages in order to support research and experimentation toward a better understanding of the teaching-learning processes. ’The demand for this facility is now considered urgent. While each department within the School of Professional Studies has emphasized the need for the ultimate construction of the Experimental Learning Center, each of them also has some specific requirements for the period, 1974-76. ’The Department cations of by Elementary Education is hampered both advisement and class-size overloads in graduate courses. ’The need for an off-campus property to attain the goals of the environmental education program is a concern of those in both Elementary and Secondary Education.

Add 3.75 faculty members in business and .25 faculty members in ester continue to enrollment in The need for college-prepared personnel to fill positions in management and accounting and in other businessrelated occupations has been expanding and is expected to continue over the next decade, according to both federal and state estimates. On the other hand, the demand for teachers is expected to increase only slightly in the same time period. Bloomsburg State College, with its tradition of excellence in business education, has responded to these demands and will continue to do so even more vigorously in the future. While continuing to maintain and improve its business education program, the School of Business at the College can be expected to direct the major portion of its efforts and the bulk of its resources to the further development of programs in business administration-related areas and in an attempt to serve better a number of constituencies. In this regard, a number of tasks have been proposed according to the following time sched- from three to six.

MISSION rV: Graduate Studies and Research The first graduate curriculum leading to the professional degree. Master Education, was established in 1960. for this correspond to areas of specialization in teacher education. More recently the College has established programs leading to the academic degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science in three disciplines, and the Secretary of Education has authorized the State Colleges to prepare programs leading to these degrees in any other disciplines in which there have existed specializations for the Master of Education degree. Programs are being prepared to impleof Programs ment this authorization. The number of Master’s degrees conferred increased from 12 in 1963 These figures, in adto 157 in 1973. dition to the opportunities made available to the College through state en- couragement promise substantial growth Bloomsburg. ture Among in graduate studies programs considered fu- at for implementation during the period 1974-76 is an interdisciplinary plan to lead to the professional degree of Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.). This program will use existing courses offered by the departments of Political Science, Sociology, Economics, and by the School of Business. The School of Business has proposed the establishment of a program leading to the professional degree of Master of Administration fM.B.A.) during this same period. To support that project, additional staff will be needed. During the period 1976-79 the Economics Department is planning a progi'am in Business Economics leading to the Master of Science degree. The plan will not duplicate that for the M.B.A. although instructional resources from both units will be interchanged partially to Business — support both programs. The Depart- of Economics is also planning a Master of Arts program to be initiated in 1974-76. The Department of Educational ment Studies and Services presently offers graduate courses in Guidance and Counseling (taken chiefly by master’s degree candidates in Elementary Education), which need only a few supplementary courses and modest clinical facilities in order to provide a Master of Education concentration in Guidance and Counseling that could lead to certification. ’This is planned for the period 1974-76. All such specific programs planned for the 1974-76 and 1976-79 planning periods will necessarily be guided and to some extent shaped by certain genEferal qualitative considerations. forts will continue to clarify the purposes of professional programs and academic programs, and the distinction between the two must be understood and accepted by the academic ’This process ought to community. sharpen the sense of the nature and direction of the college mission in graduate studies. ’The present advisement system needs reorganizing. Concentrations for the M.Ed. degree will likely be restructured in order to better suit the purposes of a professional program. The principal of interdisciplinary Master’s degree programs, such as those named above, will be explored and extended further into both professional and academic Master’s degree programs. The College is now instituting independent study and seminar courses designed for cooperation with in-service programs in public schools and intermediate units. Finally, it is intended that research be encouraged through the establishment of a budget (initial annual allocation to ap- proximate $5000) for disbursement by the School of Graduate Studies. ’This fund would be used initially to provide modest grants to partially support faculty research projects. Since graduate programs and their courses are not financed by budget allocations to the School of Graduate Studies but by the budgets of the schools and departments which offer the courses, most of the costs of graduate programs over the next two years is to be found in the estimates for those departments included in Missions I, II, and III. In addition, the College is considering the following internal appointments: a half-time assistant to coordinate the advisement in elementary concentration for the Master of Education degree a half-time specialist in elementary education to handle independent and seminar course experiences involving the coordination of in-service work with these courses the addition of at least one specialist in reading for the reading concentration. MISSIONS V, VI, Vn: Public Service new Several changed developments have concept of continuing the education programs at the College. Under the leadership of a newly appointed Dean of College Extended Pro- grams, the 1974-75 toward following objectives for life-long learning exper- Page nine iences will seek (a) to provide opportunities for self-development through college classes at nominal cost; (b) to provide opportunities for obtaining information and for developing specific skills in varied timelength non-credit courses; (c) to provide a complete and extensive program of evening division courses by increasing the number of offerings based on student needs; (d) to increase the availability of life-long learning experiences thruogh the establishment of off-campus instruction locations, and e) to provide the college service area with a program of life-long recreational and sports activities. During the 1975-76 academic year the Office of College Extended Programs also plans to establish a dayarea center for the clients of the college community and to offer collegelevel courses for the residents of the Dallas Correctional Institution within and outside that institution. The College will sharpen its sensitivity to community needs and formalize its delivery of public services through a monitoring system, it will strengthen the College service to the regional public schools by establishing a school study council, it will promote cooperation between the college and regional businesses and industries through an Institute for Administrative Services, and it will prvoide maximum public service by opening the College’s physical plant to the public. The College must commit its resources to the people, organizations, and institutions in the areas connected with it by virtue of traditions, transportation networks, geographical proximity, and special service relations. The development of sub-baccalaureate degree programs is in accord with the Normal School tradition of the College. With emphasis on assessment of needs, the College plans to form a consortium with the regional vocational-technical high schools for the purpose of analyzing the need for associate degree-level programs in the technical areas, and to develop and execute a needs-assessment of the service region in light of the occupational demands and vocational perceptions of individuals. This commitment to public service envisions the college as a resource center through which individuals of all ages and socio-economic groupings may pursue learning for their own enrichment, stimulation and professional advancement. MISSION VIII: Health Care Delivery A primary mission of the college is to establish and conduct a major educational program in physical and mental health care to meet the needs of the region and of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The impetus for mental health care delivery came with the passage of the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Act of 1966, which included a redefinition of discharge criteria from institutions so that more residents are now returned to their respective communities. The College’s programs which prvoide the foundation for additional activities in physical health care now exist in communication disroders, public school Page ten nursing, medical technology, and the pre-professional curricula. Bloomsburg’s location makes it ideally suited for offering health-oriented programs in affiliation with other nearby institutions. Personnel at Geisinger Medical Center, only several miles away, have joined with the Collgee in many health-care endeavors. In addition, the office of a four-county program is locatr ed less than 10 miles from Bloomsburg. In connection with the mission classroom and laboratory availability, equipment procurement and office space. The long-range support of these programs calls for a new building to house the health sciences, the location of which will be dictated by the nature of the programs themsel- development, a feasibility study was conducted to determine which programs are most needed in the region served by the college. Special consideration was given to those which provided therapeutic, preventive, con- mand MH/MR valescent or custodial services. New efforts recommended for initiation during the period 1974-76 include baccalaureate programs in nursing and mental health, and associate degree programs in respiratory (inhalation) therapy, medical secretary technology, programs to and be opticianry. Those initiated within the five-year period 1974-1979 are a baccalaureate degree curriculum in health services management and an associate degree sequence in mental health technology. All of the programs share five features: (1) they are needed in the region, (2) they are attractive to students with human service orientation, (3) they offer an expanding job market, (4) they necessitate a broad interdisciplinary approach, and (5) they can be initiated in affiliation with local health facilities. Bachelor of Science in Nursing: It important to have a strong, attractive baccalaureate program to serve as the main support for other educational endeavors in health care. The B.S.N. curriculum is such a program; it is a pivotal program from which other paramedical curricula can be generated through the establishment of new courses, through relationships developed with health care agencies, through the inclusion is of new health faculty care with specialties the in the only educational institu- Pennsylvania offering some tion in The baccalaureate curriculmental health win place emphases on institutional MH, industrial MH, and MH management. Although it is suggested that this program be the initial one developed, it is viewed as becoming part of a continuum in the training of professionals at a number of academic levels including, within a five-year period, a sub-baccalaureate and master’s degrees. The resources needed for each proin gram accompany the However, program des- apparent that in order to support and maintain the programs proposed in the areas of physical and mental health delivery systems, new facilities must be acquired.

MISSION IX: The College Community Mission IX is comprised of six separate sections, each devoted to various aspects of student life and concerned with student activities and programs outside the formal classrom experience. Organizing for Counseling and Advisement Section A states the need for an increased number of academic opportunities for both degree and nondegree students as well as an increased number of professional and life-time options available to participants in the College’s programs. As the educational opportunities at the College increase in number and complexity, with more mature students enrolling in less structured programs, it will be essential that the present programs of recruitment, counseling, — advisement, placement, and career reorientation be further improved to College’s academic goals fulfill the and to meet the changing needs of the growing student body. Academic Opportunities Beyond the Classroom fields, Health: criptions. Bloomsburg State College may well become in and perhaps through the eventual development of a graduate program in nursing. Of all the new programs described in physical health care, nursing has been identified as the program most needed in the region served by the College. Bachelor of Science in Mental um ves. Section to B recommends procedures expand the College’s present pro- grams of internships, cooperative education, study leaves, and work study. These various educational opportunities are planned to provide students with the chance to test their educational goals and academic expertise There has been in a work situation. a recent change in students’ needs and values. This is evidenced by a shift in enrollments from highly theoretical and abstract academic fields to those related directly to employStudents are ment opportunities. looking for experiences which wUl afford them more marketable skills. This section of Mission IX reviews past or existing prgorams in the areas of cooperative education, internships, study leaves, and work study. These work programs are a out-of-class valuable and legitimate part of the College’s educational mission. There are decided benefits to be gained from these progrmas for the individual participants, for the employers, for the people of this region. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY : Counseling and Guidance Services for Students Section C provides recommendations on many aspcets of student life outside the formal classroom experience, including academic advisement, career development, counseling serThe vices, and housing facilities. importance of college learning experiences which occur outside the formal classroom has been apparent to eduThe extent cators for many years. to which outrof-class activities reinforforce, complement, or obstruct mal classroom instruction may well be the determinant of an institution’s success in meeting its stated educational objectives. Although the programs dealt with in this section are presently considercurried to be outside the formal of the College, all relate to the culum curriculum in some respect. Some are introductory programs which provide information about the curriculum, some are educational programs curriculum, the complementing others are enabling services which help the student to take advantage of the of the curriculum offerings College and still others are designed to assist students in the application of their learning experience within a particular curriculum. Specific resources presently existing are: Residence Hall Programs, Union Orientation Programs, Kehr Program Board and its activities. Human Career Relations Training, Development Course, Academic Advisement Program, Study Laboratory, Sexuality Program, Student Student Services (Health Services, Bank, Post Office, etc.). Counseling ExperServices, Personal Growth ience, Financial Aid Counseling, and programs for commuting studSkills ents. If Bloomsburg State College is to emphasize the education of the total individual, it wUl be increasingly necessary to examine the traditional curriculum and its relevancy and to examine those areas outside the traditional curriculum with a view to- ward their possible inclusion. More specific attention must be given to the social, emotional, and less formal intelectual growth of young people. The view that students, faculty, administration, and staff are involved the educational process both as teachers and as learners should be promoted. If students are to be totally educated, the College must provide both information and experiences which will allow and promote growth in all aspects of life. Cultural Affairs Section D of Mission IX proposes recommendations and procedures to continue the development of the college as a cultural center for the region. Interest in enlarging the curriculum and enriching student and community life through the arts has ^ways been considered one of the important functions of Bloomsburg in State College. The cultural program of the College has its basis in the various academic departments Music, English, Art, and Speech and Theatre. Most of the cultural climate FALL, 1974 of the College and the community is established through them. Cultural events outside the classroom and the departments, i.e., the Artist and Lecture Series, are planned by the Arts Council and administered the by Director of Cultural Affairs. So that the arts program at the College may become increasingly more vital to students, faculty, and the people of the surrounding area, more promotion of the arts and more effort to involve and to educate all these people are needed. Bloomsburg State College needs to become a cultural center for our area. In order to develop the College as a cultural center, the arts programs must be developed beyond the Artist and Lecture Series concept. A fulltime Coordinator of Special Events must be employed to coordinate the cultural events on campus and work to achieve an expanding outreach neighboring regions. Further use and renovation of existing facilities, both on campus and in program into the area, will aid the arts program, as will a College-community organization for the arts and additional funding from various sources. Harvey A. Andruss Library/LeamIng Resources Center Section E recommends proposals for continuing the development of the Harvey A. Andruss Library/Learn- ing Resources Center. Presently, the Andruss Library has 196,282 cataloged books and bound periodicals, plus over 400,000 micro- microcards, nad microfiche) available to its users. In addition, the Learning Resources Center owns 5,684 films and filmstrips and 1,136 recording cassettes, tapes, and discs. So that the Andruss Library/Learning Resources Center can continue to fils, fulfill its mission of supporting present and planned instructional programs of the College, adequate financing must be provided for developing its collection of books, microforms, and audio-visual materials; for introducing new service technology; and for modifying the physcial plant as needed. With the notable exception of the fiscal year, the Library/ Learning Resources Center has for a number of years been developing its collections and expanding its services. It must resume such development present without further delay. A renewed committment to building collections of print and non-print materials must be made, needed personnel must be employed, and modifications to the facility must be made. Central to any institution of higher learning is library /learning resources center; other missions of the institution cannot be fulfilled without the support of an adequate library/learning resources center operated by sufficient qualified personnel. its Educational Opportunities for of Minority Groups Members and Women Section F of Mission IX recommends that the College should continue and increase its efforts to provide educajtional opportunities for qualified members of minority groups and women. The College, mindful of its responsincrease the number of students enrolled at this to ibilities minority state institution, has undertaken steps to accomplish this duty. A Director of Educational Opportunity Programs has been employed and he and his with the assistance of the College’s Affirmative Action Officer, will administer the CoUege-sponsored program of increased educational opportunities for members of minority groups and for women. staff, Equal Employment and Educational Opportunity Affirmative Action Plan Bloomsburg State College, although located in a rural setting, is not an isolated segment of society but part of the world environment. In its affirmative action thrust, the College accepts the academic, societal and employment challenges to maintain equal opportunity for all qualified persons who participate in and serve its educational processes. While the responsibility for formulating and implementing the College’s Affirmative Action Plan centers in the Office of the President and is administreed by an officer whom he appoints, an affirmative action commission provides counsel and guidance to ensure an awareness of its provisions and applications by college personnel as well as by outside vendors and contractors. AH contractual parties are required to submit written statements with employee data assuring that female, racial, ethnic, and, in fact, all minority-groups are encouraged as applicants through the contractors’ recruiting methods and policies. Equalare buUt stringent procedures ly into the recruitment functions in the employment of the staff of the College. An auditing and reporting system maintain a current inventory of employees in all categories and levels, from both internal and external employment sources, in order to place will inconsistencies into immediate focus. Qualification standards for testing and selecting personnel must undergo periodic review to keep them as free as possible from race, sex, and all other biases. Information regarding the affirmar tive action policies of the College will be disseminated to every known agency, organization and population center through the advertisements of the college and aU other means of communication available to it. The concerns of the College for fairness and equality of opportunity are also carefully extended into the areas of bargaining, promotion, training, and the resolution of grievances. The rights of aU minority groups, and of women are clearly stated in and protected by the stipulations of the affirmative action policy. Specific obectives include (1) extensive announcement of vacancies, (2) clear and precise job descriptions, (3) impartial appraisal of candidates, (4) elimination of illegal discrimination, and (5) the expansion of educational and career development plans. In its efforts to rectify dispropor- Page eleven — — — tionate employment, particularly at the higher administrative and faculty levels, the College has established goals for the recmitment of minority members and women within the limits of the available pool of The Acting Afqualified applicants. firmative Action Officer will conduct periodic briefing sessions with persons in leadership positions at all levels to keep those goals and policies before those who have authority over these matters. The college will take the initiative in identifying, contacting and informing recruitment sources in order to encourage applicants from minority group groups and women. Its recruitment procedure is so precise and direct that in the employment of personnel for administrative, faculty and support positions the provisions of the Affirmative Action Plan must be observed in the interest of absolute fairness to all who may aspire to serve in any of the positions the College has to offer. The Educational Opportunity Program, established in 1969, assures equal educational opportunity for all so that in recruitment and admission of students there wiU be no discrimination by race, color, or sex. The applicant should have either completed the basic high school courses or have satisfied supplementary nontraditional criteria. Freshmen in the program may carry a reduced academic load and take two non-credit courses to improve their skills. Financial assistance may also be provided. The director of the program coordinates it, engages in the recruitment and selection of students, nad helps develop appropriate ancillary programs. In order to ensure equity, the Office of the Vice President for Student Life serves as a clearing house for the application of the rules and regulations on residence halls and off-campus housing equally to all students. The same office requires that the Counseling Center staff provide opportunities for development of student potential and that the Place- ment and Career Development Cenbe available to all students. The ter same non-discriminatory practices apply to the Office of Financial Aid and to participation in student ac- tivities . Careful evaluation and monitoring procedures applying to the various aspects of student life wiU be established and operated by the Office of the Vice President for Student Life. Finally, no discrimination as to race, color, age, or sex wUl be applied in the recruitment and admission of graduate students. CLASS REPRESENTATIVES — 1905 — Mrs. 1903 H.

Prices firm to December 31, 1974 Personal 6% Initials; THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE Within the last decade, the critical issues in higher education have changed dramatically. In the early Sixties, colleges were faced with the problem of in overflow enrollments; the late Sixties, student un- and allied problems caused the pubhc to quesrest tion the value and health of our entire higher educawe wontion system. Now der how will weather the economic higher education storm! Often it seems as if the “crises” reported daily through our newspapers and other news media are trump^-up I assure you that the finanhigher education, for both public and private institutions, is a very real one! As Chairperson of the Budget and Fees Committee of the thirteen State Colleges and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I am constantly reminded through communication with the Secretary’s office, consultations with my fellow presidents and colleagues, and dialogues with legislators and other Pennsylvania Department of Education officials that the financial picture isn’t good — nor is it going to get any better in the near future. You all know the cause of the con- half trutns. cial crisis in cern. Double digit inflation and rising costs in all areas of the educational program have outstripped the funds available from tuition. State and Federal funds, and other sources. In addition, the decrease in the total student population and in the number of students seeking admission has, and will further, curtail income. The tell us that they are threatWell, public institutions are private institutions ened with extinction. There is widespread talk that all threatened too! students, including those in public institutions, must be made to pay more of the educational costs. Talk about extinction! The charge to students of full costs would end public higher education as we know it. We in public higher education rest upon the democratic principle that while learning helps the individual, it also directly benefits society, the government, the economy, and our culture. Tlius, we expect society to bear most of the cost of education. Abandoning this principle and requiring students to pay full costs would dramatically reduce our enrollments and would bring an end to the historic tradition of public higher education in America. To put it blundy, college administrators, both public and private, are “hard pressed” to balance budgets which are “cut to the bone,” much less to have the financial flexibility to add any of the extras which are vital to quality programs. And present indications are that, in the years ahead, there will continue to be a gap between income and expense — unless ways can be found not onlv to increase gifts and grants, but also to reduce the costs of operating our institutions. I believe that, in this time of increased gifts and grants and reduced operating costs, there is a direct correlation between increased gifts and grants and reduced operating costs. All colleges and universities must be increasingly accountable for more efficient management; for the full utilizaand human resources; and programs and services in keeping with contemporarv needs. Only when our educational and financial “houses are in order” are we in a position to begin to soheit funds. We have to face the fact that we do have a product to sell: in order to sell it, we must be able to make it salable. Through good business management, fiscal responsibility, economic administrative operation, and qualitv programs, our product becomes a positive one and therefore salable. I seriously doubt that any fund drive painted in black and dire predictions ever suction of funds, facilities, for the development of ceeded. The “give or else” technique simply doesn’t these times of tight money. are all, however, encouraged by good reports of what is being done and positive projections of what can be done if funds are available. Assume then that your alma mater has been able to pull itself together, to put its financial house in order. Your contribution has been solicited and delivered. How will it make a difference? What can your dollars do? There are many ways that private support can be used to enhance the quality of educational progress, to insure that “margin of excellence” which is so desirable. For example: 1. An “Eminent Scholars Program”. 2. Scholarships and loans. 3. Campus beautification projects. 4. Recreational and cultural facilities. 5. Better library collections, including rare and valuable editions. 6. Additions to campus art collections. 7. Broader educational opportunities. 8. “Venture Capital” to initiate new and e.xperimental teaching, research, and service projects. work 9. We in “Seed Money” to attract Federal funds and foundation money. Certainlv we must admit that one compelling reason for alumni giving is to provide the institution with the important “percent of response” figures. One of the criteria that some foundations use in granting funds is the figure which reveals how well alumni themselves support their alma mater. When alumni show good support, foundation funds may be more likely to be forthcoming. 10. Support of atliletic programs. 11. Support for alumni programs. If you look at each of our fifty states, you will not find any truly great college or university which has been financed entirely by State appropriations. Rather, you will find that all colleges and universities which we associate with excellence receive private support. Legislators traditionally build basically sound public institutions: priv'ate bequests, gifts, and grants aid in the addition of the “margin of excellence.” Certainly, alumni support will not determine whether the institution will survive, but it will certainly determine the degree of excellence which the institution is able to inject into the programs and facilities in the future. A recent ad by U. S. Alumni (a combined effort of approximately one hundred colleges and universities to enlist alumni support through national advertising) uses the “pride theme.” It says, “It is a good feeling to take pride in your accomplishments, your career, your education. But there comes a time when you can afford to take another kind of pride the pride that comes from “helping”. The- “percentage of response” criteria is still another important responsibility for alumni giving. The financial needs of our public institutions of higher education today are acute. They cannot survive in todav’s economic situation, maintaining past traditions of quality and excellence or projecting positive, worthwhile aspirations for the future on public funds alone. Thev will have to receive substantial financial support from outside sources, grants, foundations, and especially from the alumni. In addition to your monetary gifts, your friendship and support, and your owai personal successes speak well for vour alma mater. Essentially, each graduate is a public relations agent! Speak out for Bloomsburg State College and for public higher education! In large measure, the future hope of Bloomsburg State College and all other public institutions like her, rests upon her products of the past — her alumni. I am confident she is in good hands! . . .

Approval was granted after an exreview, covering several the B.S.C. Department of tensive years of Chemistry program by the Committee on Professional Training of the A.S.C. The review included an on-site inspection by Dr. David Hume of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In annoimcing the approval B.S.C. James President H. McCormick commended the chemistry department faculty and students for the academexcellence that has won national recognition and approval for the program of chemistry education. “This recognition, given only to a relatively small number chemistry programs across the country, is a credit to the excellent chemistry facof and their commitment to the program,” he said. “It is significant to the development of our Health Science program, and certainly is a ulty testimony to the excellence of our chemistry majors. We believe this national recognition of the program keeping with our total commits ment to quality education at Bloomsburg State College.” Students majoring in chemistry and is in the department faculty were guests of the College at a luncheon in the Scranton “Only more Dining Commons. approximately 500 of the than 2,000 four-year-degree- granting institutions in the national are on the approved list,” Dr. Norman E. White, acting department chairman, commented in explaining the signifcance of A.C.S. approval.” It’s more than an honor. Students who take chemistry courses in an approved department are assured that their program will be equivalent to that given in any other approved department: that the staff, facilities, library holdings in chemistry, and fiscal support are adequate for the training of chemists on the undergraduate level to enter the profession of chemistry at any starting point graduate school, industry, teaching or in anv of the medical sciences. “An additional advantage is that students majoring in chemistry will be eligible, upon graduation, for im- mediate full membership in the A C.S. Such students will find they can compete on even terms with graduates of any other College or University.” Dr. White, who joined the B.S.C.

Fulltime undergraduate enrollment is up 2.4% over last year at 4,417 students, while there are 50 full-time graduate students, an increase of 6.4%. Parttime undergraduate students is up at 41.2% at 476 students and part-time graduate students show an 18% increase at 538. The overall ratio of women over men of 1.4 remains relativelv constant over the two-year period. “At a time when many colleges are experiencing a decline in enrollment the percentage increases in all of BSC’s enrollment categories reflects the excellent diversified educational opportunities at BSC,” states Cooper.

The College has been notified by the Department of Education that a resolution calling for an increase in housing fees had been adopted November 21 by the Board of State College and University Directors. The resolution requires college presidents to raise the housing fee at least $36.00, but no more than $72.00, per year. It also stated that the increase could take effect as early as January, 1975 but no later than the opening of the fall semester 1975. The steady rise in charges for utilities and other housing costs was cited as the reason for the increase. B.S.C. officials decided to wait until the fall semester to make the mini$36.00 per year increase because they felt that a January, 1975 increase would be too short notice and possibly create financial hardships on many students.

Professor Creasy was awarded his Doctorate of Education degree this past June from Penn State and the above document is an outgrowth of his dissertation entitled, “A Descriptive Analysis of the Full-Time TeachColing Faculty in Pennsylvania’s Department Receives Charter, Has A student chapter of the American Society for Personnel Administration at Bloomsburg State College was presented its charter Monday evening, October 21 on campus by Wilson L. the National Nicoll, President of ASPA. Some sixty B.S.C. students were in attendance at the event, along with twenty members of the sponsoring organization, the Susquehanna Personnel Management Association, as well as BSC faculty members and several national ASPA officers. The student chapter was organized March, 197 through the efforts of Professor Bob Hutchison and Joseph Stauder, of Roselon Industries, Danville. These efforts were recognized by Susquehanna Personnel Management Association President, Roy Goodlander. The purpose of the student chapter is to acquaint students with all phases of personnel administration and industrial relations. It likewise serves as a window of the business world through which a continuing dialogue can be maintained between campus and industry. Nicoll, who is Manager of Employ- ee Community Relations for Colonial Pipeline Company, Atlanta, Georgia, stated, “Personnel management is the fastest growing of the manage- ment professions. Rapid technical advances in recent years have made definite changes in our ways of business and life. People’s attitude and values have likewise changed.

He has been defined as ‘the cataylst of change’ in his efforts to fit the man to the job and the job to the man. The human resource field presents great opportunities for creative, challenging and innovative people.” In the future, Nicoll sees more self supervision by the employee and self reliance of the employee along with more enriched jobs. BSC President Dr. James McCormick spoke of achievements and aims of the college, particularly the business community. He referred to the aims of interaction of the college in the local business community. He referred to the ii^ortance of “people to people relationships” that have been developed.

Russ Houk of the B.S.C. faculty and Chairman of the United States Olymanhas pic Wrestling Committee, nounced that the Soviet Union team will compete against a United States all-star team in BSC’s Nelson Fieldhouse on the evening of Wednesday, April 9. The match was scheduled through the joint efforts of Houk and organizations and businessmen of the greater Bloomsburg area along with the student C.G.A. The Soviet Union team, who have been Olympic and World Champions since 1956, will be in the United States to participate in the World Cup ConMarch 29-30 test in Toledo, Ohio, against Turkey, Iran, and the United States. The team will then make four United States appearances as part of the many cultural exchange programs between the Soviet Union and the United States. Following the World Cup competition, the Soviets will perform Jacksonville, in Chicago, Bloomsburg, and Madison Square Garden before departing for home. The world champs will be competing against U. S. all-star teams in each appearance. Houk, who served as manager of the U. S. 1972 Olympic Freestyle Wrestling team, indicates that he will bring a select team to Bloomsburg, including a number of the U. S. wrestlers who will be participating in the upcoming Pan-American games and the 1976 Olympics. “Probably never again will sports fans of this whole area have the opportunity to view such a spectacle which will include some of the best athletes of the world,’’ Houk “Freestyle wrestling, unlike the Roman-Grece performed by the Polish team here last year, is much more like our style of college wrestling,” said.

And darned if he didn’t giove that bail; she plopped into that mitt of his nice as a piece of cake. But when Danny set himself for the throw into the infield ahead of an advancing baserunner, his feet slipped out from underneath him. And ker-plunk. He dropped the ball. By Lynn Henning His forehead, caked with a mixture of dust and sweat, was a perfect match for the mud-spattered arms blending their muddiness with the baseball uniform (Philadelphia Phillies, vintage 1942). And even though his head hurt like hell, he was grinning. Moments earlier, Darmy Litwhiler had knocked himself unconscious in a wild scramble for home plate which resulted in a crunching collision with St. Louis Catcher Walker Cooper. Result: One lOin for the last-place PhUlies going nowhere on the last day of the season (the winning run, incidentally). Also, a forced playoff for the pennant between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cardinals, who won it minus Cooper out nursing a dislocated shoulder from the thump by Litwhiler. Another result; A red and gold World Series ring a year later. Litwhiler was playing for, of all people, the St. Louis Cardinals who were so impressed with his hustle on a last-place team, they quickly traded for him. Others over the years, too. have been impressed with Michigan State’s head baseball coach of the past 10 years. Among them, the Baseball HaU of Fame which displays Litwhiler ’s glove; Jackie Robinson for Danny’s help in breaking the major league color barrier, and one-time Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick who saw Litwhiler’s talent for teaching. If the muddy picture of Litwhiler doesn’t particularly stand out among the hundreds of others among the larger-than-life baseball college on his Jenison Field House office wall, its lesson does at least to his mind. “I teU my players that story a lot,” he concedes. (It actually put him into two successive World Series with the Cards.) — It must impress, too. because “Skip’s” MUS teams have plaved better than .650 ball over the decade. won the Big Ten championship in of 1971 the several and have never finished out first division.

It ers.” — So. you have Danny Litwhiler former major league baseball star, coach and teacher of baseball, and more: Inventor (one thing at a time, folks, we’U get to that later) and author. This then is not a fellow lacking confidence in his own capabilities. Even when he was in high school, Litwhiler knew that he would play in the major leagues. “O, j'eh,” he nods, “I went to New York and saw a baUgame between the Phillies and the Giants and I said if I couldn’t play in the majors, there’s something wTong. I figured I was as good as they were right then.” He State graduated from College his in Bloomsburg home state of Pennsylvania and broke the into “bigs” with Philadelphia in 1940. A year later he set a season fielding record: Fifteen errors, more than any other National League outfielder. In 1942 (what a year that must have been) he played everv inning of games and handled 317 — wdthout commiting a single error — to become the first major all 151 chances leaguer ever to plav an entire season without a single flub. He extended the errorless st’-eak into the next season whree it finally ended at a record 187 games. ’The errorless string almost ended prematurely on a rainy September They give ’im an error on it, too.

Immediately after the game he raced up to the press box, still in uniform, and challenged AUen and the official scorekeeper that it should have been niled a hit. Thus, Litwhiler’s perfect fielding record unknown to Allen and the scorekeeper was preserved. And Danny’s glove ended up in the for — — Baseball Hiu of Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y. He cherishes the record and its place in the Hall of Fame, the 1942 All-Star game he played in. the two World Series with the Cardinals 'he stm wears a World Series ring), but he treasurers the friendship most. One friend was Jackie Robinson. Litwhiler was playing for Cincinnati in 1947 when Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier. With its proximity to the Mason-Dixon Line, many Cincinnati fans were not enthusiastic about Robinson’s first appearance in Crosley Field, nor were some of LitwhUer’s teammates. “They’d aU be saying, ‘I’m not go- ing to play against them (blacks’,” “Particularly the recalls Danny.

Warren GOes Cincinnati President was and concerned level-headed asked Litwhiler (“a guy”) to pose for a picture with Robinson when the Dodgers came into town in hopes a display of welcome cou’d help quell negative attitudes. “I said fine, I’d be glad to do it.’" recalls Danny, adding with a smile: “T took a lot of flack over that.” TTie picture hangs in Litwhiler’s office today with this inscription: “Danny; Been a lot of water under the bridge since this picture was taken. Good to see you again. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY BY GIVING TEACHING TOP PRIORITY . . . Jackie Robinson, 1947-1967.” When he retired as a player in 1951 after 12 seasons, Danny became a minor league manager for five years. “I didn’t like managing pro ball,” admits the 57-year-old Litwhiler, ‘‘because they don’t believe in teaching, they believe in winning. That seemed to be the trend either win or else. My theory of baseball is ‘teach baseball and then win.” About this time Florida State University contacted Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick to recommend a man to set up a baseball program at the school. FSU was seeking a former player with professional managing experience who could also teach classes. Frick said Danny was their man, and in 1955 Litwhiler was a college baseball coach. ‘‘I would have coached for nothing at the time just to get started.” he — says. His teaching methods built a winner immediately and over nine seasons, Litwhiler ’s Florida State teams post- ed an 189-81 record and played in three College World Series. In 1963, the late John Kobs retired as Michigan State’s baseball coach Mrs. Reilly Life Director for a Biggie Munn Litwhiler Danny to take over. came up,” says Litwhiler, ‘‘liked what I saw and particularly liked Biggie. I knew I could work with ‘‘I him.” Litwhiler brought him his with then win” philosophy which complemented a host of his baseball inventions. For example, he designed an unbreakable five-foot by five-foot mirror for pitchers to check their motions. The idea was a result of an advertisement showing horseshoes being thrown against a glass that didn’t break. A five-man batting cage Litwhiler created allows a team to achieve as much live batting practice in one day as usually can be gained in five Several of his innovations have made their mark at the Major League level. ‘‘Diamond Grit,” used to dry baseball fields after rain, and ‘‘Diamond Dust,” used to recondition and dry wet baseballs, have been on the market since Danny and a chemist friend came up with the compound in 1956. ‘‘Diamond Grit” is used by ‘‘teach, dues Glimpse of College At Bloomsburg 75 Years Ago By Katherine Dalton Mrs. Isabelle Reilly, of Shenandoah, Pa., is ninety years old, a remarkable fact in itself. However, of most interest to students and alumni of Bloomsburg State College is the fact that she graduated from this school under her maiden name, Isabelle Mullahey, with the class of 1907. As you can imagine, life at BSC was very different in those days around the turn of the century. The trip from Shenandoah to Bloomsburg was a journey of 28 miles. Perhaps to the modern-day student the word journey is too strong to describe such a short trip. However, to Mrs. Reilly it was indeed a journey. She began by taking a horse and buggy to the neighboring town of Ringtown. From there she proceeded to Rupert by train. From Rupert, a shuttle was taken to Bloomsburg, where she was met by a bus from the school. She returned home only on long vacations because of the and Athletic was looking difficulty of the trip. At that time, the school was known Bloomsburg State Normal There were four buildings, Carver Hall used as a chapel and auditorium. Old Science was the as the School. with science building with a laundry in the basement. Another budding, which Mrs. Reilly thinks has since been torn down, was a library, gymnasium, and housed the practice teaching rooms. Present-day Waller Hall was the dorm and cafeteria which, interestingly enough, was coed at the time. Mrs. Reilly reminisces, ‘‘In those days at Bloomsburg we could enroll in one of two courses. One was a three-year teaching course. There was no SPRING specialization 1975 then. When you got your certificate you could The teach anything in any school. other was a one-year college prep course.” Mrs. Reilly enrolled in the teaching course and was instructed by some professors who are still remembered, including Professors Sutliff. Hartline, Bakeless, and Waller. Also, Tom Elwell, a student from the towTi of Bloomsburg, was here at that time. Student life was quite different in 1907. At 7:00 p.m. in the dorm a bell was rung signalling aU students to be in their rooms for the next three hours. At 10:00 p.m. a second bell rang which meant aU lights out. One of the devilish pranks played by students was to meet in one room at midnight for a feast. ‘‘I was caught once and hauled down to the President’s office.” The only special functions at the college were guest lec- turers and small concerts. A big treat for the students was to attend the local church suppers for a good meal. This was about the only contact the students had with the town of Bloomsburg itself. Money was scarce then too. As Mrs. ReDly remembers, ‘‘my only spending money was a dollar from Uncle Will on special holidays.” In 1907. there were two fraternities on the Bloomsburg campus. Mrs. Reilly remembers them as being very inactive, so inactive she could not recall their names. There were no sororities. Dress was formal by today’s standards and no girl dared to smoke a cigarette, let alone anything else. It was a five-dav school week, with no school on Mondays and classes on Saturdays. Science classes were most major league teams; the Chicago White Sox have used it since its inception. He also came up with a novel way to teach bunting. Applying knowledge of what it takes to bunt successfully, (‘‘You have to hit the top half of the ball with the bottom half of the bat”), Litwhiler carved a bat to those specifications, eliminating every part of the hickory stick which bears no value in bunting. took his disfigured bat to spring training and showed it to the late Cincinnati manager Fred Hutchinson, Yankee manager Casey Stengel and White Sox skipper A1 Lopez. AU were impressed with the results and asked He to make them some. ‘‘Made six for Lopez, six for Hutchinson and nine for Casey Stengel,” LitwhUer muses. ‘‘Two of them won the pennant and the other one was runner-up, so I guess it was all right.” The bats, incidentally, are still on the market bearing Litwhiler ’s patent. And now Danny LitwhUer is working on another invention, though not exactly a new innovation for him: Another Big Ten championship for Michigan State. Danny popular because the students were taken on field trips in the surrounding area. A popular pastime was to take long walks, some as far as five mUes. Isabelle Mullahey ReUly graduated in 1907 and taught in the Shenan- She doah schools for many years. also ran a brewery and beer delivery business. Today she is a grandmother and great-grandmother many times over. In recent years she has spent a lot of time in hospitals, but Loves to teU me, her granddaughter, of the days she spent learning on the campus at the present-day Bloomsburg State College. She tells me it was tradition that I chose BSC. My paternal grandmother, Hannah Scanlan Dalton, graduated in 1898, Mi'S. ReiUy in 1907, and my two aunts, her daughters Eleanor ReUly Doolphin and Rosemary ReiUy Flannery, in 1943. I guess you could say that Bloomsburg State is the ‘‘Ivy League” school of the Dalton-ReUly dynasty.

Recent events have indicated that BSC is being short-changed in many areas due to limitations placed by the state on budgetary items which don’t directly involve instruction, yet are most essential in the operation of the college. The Alumni Association has helped in some ways in the past, but it is we can be more helpful than we have been. Helping sponsor BSC sports events on radio, aiding the CGA in some endeavors, and finanour hope that which there is no state aid has been an enjoyable experience, but there is still much to be done. The entire campus needs beautification, including general landscaping and trees, and there is no money for this type of venture. If the Alumni Association realizes its $50,000 goal, some of that money of could be used for areas which would help the over-all development Bloomsburg State College. Otherwise, it just would not happen. BSC graduates used to think that because the college is a state school, no money was needed for the operation, since the state seemed to supply endless amounts. Really, this has never been true, and certainly it is not the case now. During this second semester, the college has been ordered to cut into its present budget in order to decrease costs in an ever-rising price cially providing for areas in market. Therefore, the financial help that you have given (or will give) will permit some of these dreams to become a reality as BSC continues to move forward !

We have a record-breaking enrollment, approximately seven percent higher than last year, with 4,747 full-time and 1,196 part-time students attending classes. Our freshman class includes some 60 students enrolled in the new program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. We have been notified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education that Initial Approval status has been granted for teacher education programs in Early Childhood education and Communication, and for a graduate teacher education program Education (Hearing Impaired). These significant accomplishments are the result of the important work of our Planning Commission, which included alumni participants, and of the dedicated efforts of our faculty and staff members in maintaining a high quality of education and in developing attractive programs attuned to the changing educational needs of people. We have a new residence hall under construction, and its completion next year will help relieve overcrowding in our residence halls. We have had an encouraging response to our plans for a new classroom building, and we hope also to obtain approval for a badly needed addition to the Andruss Library. As our building program nears completion, we are able to turn attention to a Campus Beautification project now underway with the help of funds provided by your Alumni Association. A landscape architect is developing a plan for the planting of trees, flowers, and shrubs, and for other projects which will make our campus more in Special attractive.

Each institution was assigned a share of that deficit, with Bloomsburg's share being set at $1,070,000. Originally, the institutions were directed to recover the entire amount by that tutions reducing personnel costs. This directive was later modified to permit the institutions to recover the target deficit through alternative budget savings, and Bloomsburg was able to reduce the number of employees to be retrenched by more than 50 percent. Despite our efforts to avoid retrenchment, it was necessary to notify 30 faculty and staff members that their positions will be abolished at the end of the current year unless more funds become available. Retrenchment planning was a distasteful task for everyone involved. The impact is tragic for individuals directly affected, demoralizing for others on our staff, and disheartening for all who have worked diligently to improve the quality of education at Bloomsburg.

In view of my manifold limitations and shortcomings with which I have come to be only too familiar, how could your screening committee have let its guard down to let my name slip through to be associated with the many giants and giantesses who have honored this ceremony by taking their deserved places in it? My only answer is to accept it with due, and I hope, becoming modesty, and to add a few tributes to my associates along the way. To modesty I have some claim as is suggested by this incident. Someone observed to Winston Churchill that his arch political antagonist, Clement Attlee, was such a "modest man." To which Churchill tartly retorted that he had much to be modest about. Abraham Lincoln yields another thought that can be a guide for me. The warning that I refer to is that "It is better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." From this I draw a corollary, "It might be better to let the observers have some question as to the suitability of the recipient of this year's choice than for me to open my mouth and arouse among my listeners acute misgivings, not to say consternation, as to the suitability of my having been chosen."

Your Alumni Office staff will assist Class Representatives or committees with mailing lists or other arrangements in order to make your Class Re- union pleasant and memorable. We suggest you begin those plans as early as 12th Annual Reading Conference at BSC will be held April 2 and 3, 1976. Theme of the Conference is Mainstreaming and Other Issues in Reading. possible. Your Alumni Association on the Move! The Bloomsburg State College Alumni Association recently took a bold, new step in improving its services to the College and its 16,500 members with the employment of a full-time Executive Director. Under the direction of Donald A. Watts, the new Executive Director, plans are underway to improve communications between the College and Association members through more timely newsletters, special bulletins, and the Alumni Quarterly. A concerted effort will be made to locate all "lost" members and to modernize the mailing procedures. When this is completed, a new Alumni Directory can be printed. The last Directory was issued in 1964. A primary objective will be the search for dynamic leadership to organize Bloomsburg State College Alumni Clubs wherever our graduates reside. Through these leaders and local clubs, many activities to assist the College can be developed — especially the recruitment of promising students and the development of a good public relations program for Bloomsburg State College. In addition to funds needed to support the Alumni Office, the Association provides scholarships, student loans, and financial support to numerous College activities not funded by the State. A "prestigious" college or university is prestigious only because its alumni (and faculty) made it so. We hope to awaken a new feeling of interest and pride among the Bloomsburg State College alumni. If you are interested in having a BSC Alumni Club in your area, we would appreciate a note from you with suggestions on the area to be served by the Club, places to meet, and names of persons who might assist with the planning and organization of a club. You may wish to call us at 717-389-3613. Several faculty members and administrators (including President McCormick) have volunteered 6 their services and will assist groups in any way possible.

Reibman, Pennsylvania Senator from the 18th District, delivered the Commencement Address. The Senator said, “The most basic belief to any society is the belief that people can, through deep personal commitment and sacrifice, master events and give some sense of shape to their collective destiny. Society must balance and regulate their levels of conflict and change. We need to educate people to see the value of opposing tendencies and to enable them to bridge the gaps that opposing movements can create." In closing the Senator said, "We live in a world of rapid change and turmoil in which politics plays an important permanent part. If we are to regain the necessary sense of balance and national well-being, we can only do so through participation in our democratic processes which require us to use conflict as a creative force in the lives of our citizens." Dr. Henry H. Hood, Executive Director of the Geisinger Medical Center gave the Commencement Address at the August 22 Graduation ceremonies in Haas Auditorium when 138 Seniors and 120 Graduate students received Degrees.
