Welcome to Bloomsburg University. What a year! Everywhere we looked there was some sort of construction going on. The year started with a face-lift for Carver, pipe laying on College Hill and Second Street, and the groundbreaking for the new recreation center. Construction will continue on the upper part of campus as the rec. center works toward completion for January of 1995 and the new Library construction gets With underway. of the dumptrucks, jackhammers, cement pipes, all backhoes, and roadblocks it was almost impossible for students and faculty to find parking on campus.

But somehow, morning always seems to creep in. •*i». 24 25 26 I Money, MAC, and Wash What's made out of paper, green with pictures on the front, and always in demand? MONEY!

And how many times have you had to go through all of your pockets scrounging for quarters for the washer to do that dreaded choreof former presidents laimdry? Well, just think, before we know it we'll be out in the real world, earning some real money (hopefully)!

As they walk dowTi the tree lined streets, students come across a wide range of shops including the Que Pasa Boutique, which has all the latest fashions; the Costume Shop, and the Husky Comer Mall which is complete with a tanning spa, fitness center, and the Good Lookin' Salon. Of course, shopping sprees students replerush MAC machine and then it's off to CVS for those personal needs.

Located on College Hill above the "only town in Pennsylvania", B.U. covers 173-acres of the Appalachian foothills of north-central Pennsylvania. The atmosphere of the campus is created by the imique blend of historic and modem buildings. Currently our campus is also going though a growth spurt. With the addition of a new recreation center and a new library soon to come, we can only imagine the change that has overcome Bloomsburg University from it's original start in 1839 as a Commonwealth of Pennsylvarua normal school for the education of teachers. ^J(^''„Mt**<»- 32 33 Winter Wonderland No one will forget the winter of 1993-94. Mother Nature pelted us with a great amount of snow. Waking up every morning and checking the local delayed openings and school closings almost became a ritual. Many faculty, staff, commuters and off-campus students had to start out their days by shoveling and preparing for a long trip to campus. For those students already on campus, extra time had to be made for the journey out into the cold to get to classes. This year, Bloomsburg started the first condensed schedule to try to help alleviate some of the stress and strain of continually missing the same classes over and over. This schedule reorganized the daily calendar to hours later and fit all classes in into a shorter time period. The Town of Bloomsburg covered in a fresh coat of snow is definitely a beautiful sight, but now that we've made it through the winter of 80 plus inches let's keep our fingers crossed for a calm winter next year. 34 start 2 .^^ M '%. ^', 35 The Bloomsburg Fair The Bloomsburg point of every Fair fall is looked upon as a high semester.

Students across campus decorated their residence hall windows to show support of homecoming, and to compete for prizes. The celebrations started on Thursday, October 21, with the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble's production of the comedy 'The Foreigner' at the Alvina Krause Theater in town. Kenneth Gross was the marshall for the homecoming parade, which began at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 23. The Bloomsburg Huskies football team played the West Redman Stadiimi.

I enjoy helping students learn the intricate detail of music." -Stephen Wallace, D. Ed., Chairperson Music requires self discipline. Musicians have a responsibility to prepare properly. They must love what they're doing and be willing to devote countless hours perfecting their skills. The Department of Music offers opportunity for creative activity and self-expression as well as the cultivation of student's talents. Students receive an education that prepares them for varied professional opportimities. The bachelor of arts degree in music allows the music major to select one of two music history-literature or applied music-voice, piano, organ, strings, or brass.

They are exposed to unique opportunities and to a caring and committed faculty. Students learn about the diversity underlying all culture and come to appreciate people for who they are and what they do. Anthropology is the most liberating of all sciences. Students have the opportunity for a career where they are constantly involved in new discoveries and increased cultural understanding." Robert Reeder, M.S.,M.A., Chairperson Anthropology promotes global cultural awareness through classroom studies of cultures everywhere. Anthropology, the study of humankind, attempts to establish useful information and generalizations about people, their behavior and their cultural and biological origins, in order to arrive at the fullest possible understanding of human diversity. At Bloomsburg, anthropology is divided into three areas: cultural anthropology which studies ways of life in societies across the world; physical anthropology which traces human origins and biological variability; and archaeology which seeks to explain human behavior by studying material remains from past cultures. Study in these three disciplines is interwoven so students come to see the whole picture of humankind: how humans have evolved, what problems they face, what solutions are possible, and what the future might hold. — Department of Art "The most common motivation for students Our and we art faculty recognizes this who study structure our art is the desire for self-expression. program to that end." — Kenneth Wilson, chairperson "With courses in ceramics, crafts, design, drawing, photography, graphics, painting, and may pursue creative interests and skills that will be a source of deep personal satisfaction throughout their liftime." Complimenting the will to create is the desire to understand the history and principles of art, to gain an sculpture, art students with diverse professional aims appreciation of great works of art from the past and present, to appreciate the aesthetic and innovations of any given age, thus gaining an increased awareness of one's artistic and cultural heritage. Within the major there also is a strong undercurrent to perceive art as an academic discipline. Studio courses reflect and support this liberal arts purpose as well as building competence in selected media. Art history courses provide a structure for an understanding of the arts while developing the ability to research and write. The art program is consistent with the university's aim to be a center of learning in the arts and sciences. Through a finely tailored course of study, art students enjoy opportunities for advanced study and pursue specific career goals, preparing for careers as artists, art historians, museum curators, design and advertising consultants, urban planners, and educators. Students choose between two basic areas of study: art studio and art history. stylistic ^Q 61 ^ 62 College of Business Department of Accounting "We need to learn new information management skills and constantly evaluate our methods if we are to remain competitive. The intent of the program here at Bloomsburg to prepare our students not just to enter but to contribute to a professional area of accounting." Burel Gum, chairperson "Accounting is the language of business." Approximately 550 undergraduates are currentiy majoring in accounting, making it one of the most popular programs of study at the university. Housed in the College of Business, the degree program requires a total of 63 semester hours 27 semester hours devoted to accounting courses- and culminates in a bachelor of science in Business Administration. The program's curriculum is tailored to address the demands confronted by today's professional accountant. Students learn how to accumulate and summarize information, to anaylze and interpret results, and to present information which often becomes an important element in the decision-making process. The program also emphasizes the importance of communication skills, both written and oral. The successful accountant spends more time working with people than with nimibers, and more time helping others to reach decisions than tabulating figures. Accounting is an information system, not a mathematical system. is — — Department of Economics "The wisdom of how we use these scarce resourses will ultimately shape the quality life for the ourselves and for future generations."

English Whafs Right With You? What's Right With America? — the culmination of many years of hard work, intense study, strict self-discipline, and total dedication to the attainment of a very major goal. Today we gather here to celebrate your achievements. America. In that spirit, let's celebrate you, your accomplishments, and this wonderful country Today is To the questions — what's right with you and what's right with America? — — I answer a resounding PLENTY! I recognize that there are the international students, America — has been I members who are from other countries. To in your experience at Blooomsburg hope that of the graduating class here today extend our best wishes and I — excellent. The vast majority of you receiving degrees today will take employment positions in this great country of ours and, if you are typical of previous graduates of the fourteen universities in the State System of Higher Education, about 72% of you who are Pennsylvaruans will remain in the Keystone State. your I hope you feel good about yourselves for you have an abundance to feel good about accomplishments and the fact that you live in the country with the greatest opporturuties, with the greatest respect for and protection of individual rights and freedoms on earth. We are a nation of people who have done more for ourselves and more for others around the world than in(ividually and collectively any other nation. You and your families are very representative of the good people that make up the — — — United States of America. I answer a resounding PLENTY! what's right with you? To the question There is an abundance of evidence that proves you have excelled in every phase of university Ufe. For example, at the Awards Luncheon conducted two weeks ago, today, 49 of you received magna cum laude recognition for having attained at least a 3.75 cumulative average on a 4.0 rating scale and 7 of you were recognized as summa cum laude for having attained at least a 3.95 cumulative average. WOW! the most prestigious award given to graduating seniors for Fifteen of you received service key awards and 51 individuals received Who's Who involvement and leadership in extra-curricular activities Certificates. This award is given to seniors demonstrating outstanding ablility in academic achievement, personal traits, leadership, potential usefulness in society and professional promise. A total of 195 awards were presented to students and many of the recipients are here today. It is exciting for me to see our students excel. Earlier today Roy A. Bunger, Michelle R. Getzy, and Kirsi F. Turbedsky were honored as the highest ranking candidates in the College of Arts and Sciences, as was Chad E. Gibble from the College of — — — — Business and Suzanne M. Urick in the College of Professional Studies. Each of us assembled here has been abundantly blessed. I encourage you to be thankful for not only those blessings that you cherish, but also for those that you may tend to take for granted. that you will never miss an I trust that as you pursue your own successes you will think of others opportunity to help people who have not been as fortunate as you. I know you will in the future because — you have in the past. You and hundreds of other Bloomsburg University students have actively participated service. Among your good deeds are: - The first annual Good Neighbor Day for University and Town citizens; - Participation in the Commonwealth's Adopt-A-Highway Program; -Mentorship and tutoring for area school students. - A University student organization, conducted this year's "If you can't wear START — share it" it, in community — Students Together Alleviating Racial Tension campaign, a clothing drive to benefit children in the Harrisburg schools. - The Intrafratemity and Panhellenic Council sponsored the annual Camp Victory Dance Marathon, fund-raiser to support a local ' -^^rt camp designed for handicapped children. of the Local Enterprise Assistance Project senior distance to existing a and newly formed small and graduate business students provided businesses, you have participated in the annual "Into the Streets" volunteer work sessions. This past Fall Semester, 631 students logged more than 7,000 hours with our SOLVE office (Students Organized to Learn through Volunteerism and Employment). Your good actions have touched the lives of many people in the community in very positive ways. In addition, your initiatives have included the University. This past fall the Community Government Association donated $75,000 to the Library Construction Campaign as a challenge to the faculty and staff. I thank you and all the students of Bloomsburg University for this gift. Your generosity is sincerely appreciated and means a great deal to me. These are just a few examples of your many good efforts. What's right with America? To the question I answer a resounding PLENTY! Especially, when you compare the United States with the rest of the world. What's right with America includes attributes such as, our constitution, the role we have performed in world leadership, the diversity in our society, and the great American dream. The list of what's right with America goes on and on; however, in the interest of time I will briefly cite just a few examples. In 1949, Senator Arthur Vandenburg said, "We cannot turn back the clock we cannot sail by old and easier charts. That has been determined for us by the march of events. We have no choice as to whether we shall play a great part in the world we have to play that part. We have to play it in sheer self-defense of our own interest. All that we can decide is whether we shall play it well or ill." Forty-five years after Senator Vandenburg made that statement, the record shows that America superbly played its role. As stated in the publication. The Vision Shared, "The half-century crusade of free nations to champion freedom and civilization against the scourge of totalitarianism was victorious because of the leadership and relentless dedication of America. The fall of the Berlin wall symbolized an epochal change in the way millions of people live and in the way those people think. A democratically elected Russian president sits in the Kremlin. Ukrane, Armenia, and the Baltic states take their rightful place among the family of nations. Israel and all of its Arab neighbors talk face to face for the first time. Nicaragua and Panama celebrate democracy. America led the free world to this great triumph." "With this victory for freedom we have begun a new and promising chapter in the epic of America and our role in the new world order." Austin Kiplinger, the publisher of the Kiplinger Washington Newsletter, recently said, "With regard to higher education, America is leading the way in developing new educational models that will meet the needs of new populations and new times. Forty percent of the world's basic research is done in American laboratories, principally at universities. United States' colleges and universities grant one million baccalaureate degrees and 1.5 million associate degrees every year, more than are granted in any other nation in the world." In agriculture, with three-tenths of one percent of the world's farm labor force, the United States' farmers produce the major portion of the world's food and fiber. That translates into your home budget in that the percentage of income spent by families on food in the United States is much less than other — — — — countries. — the Data recently reported by the press and available from the United States Bureau of Census Federal government's gatherer of statistics shows that Americans have plenty to cheer about. Very quickly I'U share with you five brief examples: -"We are healthier. The death rates from causes such as heart disease, automobile and on-the-job accidents have dropped significantly over the past 20 years. At the same time life expectancy for the average American has increased from 71 to 76 years." -"Our environment is cleaner." -"Talk of the disintegrating American family is just that. A surprising 73% of all children under the age of 18 still live with both parents." -"Americans dominate the world in science. Between 1976 and 1991, U.S. scientists won 63 out of a possible 102 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine. The closest runners-up, Germany and — garnered nine each." -"Americans are generous with their time and money. In 1989, 38 million people population pitched in to do volunteer work." Britian, — — 20% of the Ihe The total money donated to charitable causes came to a staggering $125 BILLION. And most of it — $103 billion ic from individuals, not foundations or corporations." good news continues regarding the future. Marvin Cetron, author of numerous books about the future, recently prepared a new report listing 74 trends and forecasts affecting the United States. Based on these trends, he anticipates a "renaissance" for America in the years ahead. Though he views himself as a realist, Cetron says that his findings make him very optimistic about Forecaster the future. America has been and still is the land of opportunity. From the early times of our nation to the present day, millions of Americans have attained success by working hard, working smart, and exercising self-discipline. In an article, published in the April 8th issue of USA Today, Senator George Mitchell, majority leader of the U.S. Senate, was beyond the Senate, beyond politics, even described as follows: "One of George Mitchell's greatest pleasures was to preside over citizenship ceremonies as a federal judge. At one of these ceremonies beyond sports a young man explained he had immigrated because 'here in America, everyone has a Senator Mitchell recalls chance. 'I know that's true,' says Senator Mitchell, the son of immigrants. 'I know that in America, you can go as high and as far as your talent and willingness to work will take you.' Senator Mitchell's talent and wiUingness to work as majority leader "As the apex of the United States Senate can go in the world of law and politics. high and as far as one about as have taken him just "Senator Mitchell was bom to an Irish father who worked as a janitor and a Lebanese mother who worked the — — — — — night shift at a textile mill. "'He is a guy from very — who obviously, by dint of extraordinary intelligence and hard work, has Warren Rudman. 'It's the great American dream story.'" Several years ago I had the privilege of hearing Alex Haley present the keynote address at a national meeting. Mr. Haley, who touched the heart of a nation with his book Roots said, "It took twelve years to write Roots... to understand what those stories meant that I had heard as a boy on my grandma's front porch. I dug and dug and kept trying to find a way to use all of the research. I was broke, down to 18 cents and 2 cans of sardines." Dr. Lamar Alexander, former President of the University of Tennessee, former Governor of Tennessee and former U.S. Secretary of Education said, "As Secretary of Education, I found opportvmities almost every day to pass along Alex's lessons. Sometimes I would produce for students a typed page of Alex's Roots manuscript, almost obscured by green ink corrections, and tell them what he told me: 'Some of those chapters I rewrote 15 times, 20 times, 25 times. I wanted it to be right.'" Lamar Alexander continued, my friend Alex Haley used to say, 'Find good and praise it.' He especially liked to say that to people who were busy finding everything wrong with America. It was a powerful message coming from the grandson of slaves, from the man who wrote Roots and The Biography of Malcom X." Dr Alexander said, "I used to think about it every time Alex told the story about John Newton, the slave trader, and how he saw the Ught and wrote one of the world's greatest hymns, 'Amazing Grace.' "I thought about it at the time an African flute played the melody of that great hymn and we buried Alex Haley next to the front porch where his grandma and great aunts first told him the stories that became Roots. "Then, on the piano," Dr. Alexander said, "I played 'Amazing Grace'." I am proud of you and I am proud of America. I wish you, the Class of 1994, the very best in all that you do. I am confident that, if you apply determination and perseverence to what you know and what you do, you will find the success and happiness you seek. You will find the great American dream. In closing I want to share with you one of my favorite stories. It is about a person by the name of Jeremiah O'Brien. Jeremiah would be my kind of person. He lived in Maine, and in 1775, rallied the people of his town to deny the British the lumber they needed for their troops in Boston. He led a group of townspeople in the fortification of a sloop which he then used to pursue the British Man of War, The Margaretta. Meeting her broadsides with musket fire, he lashed his sloop to The Margarette. He led his men aboard armed with pitch forks and axes. He and his crew of 35 farmers had battled for an hour and, when it was over, he had won. I can't help myself but marvel at the courage of that kind of a person but what makes it even more impressive and important to me is the fact that Jeremiah wasn't a regular member of any armed force. He was a citizen who saw something that had to be done and he did it! That trait is one that has always marked America. The citizen, seeing a job to be done and doing it. I don't mirumize the problems that face us as a nation, but I am confident in the future of America because I believe the spirit of humble origins risen to the very top,' says former senator — — — — — — Jeremiah O'Brien still walks our land, AND THAT YOU REPRESENT 1 l^^ess each and everyone of you, and God Bless America!
