Attendance sparse „ Rally in defense of state colleges by Bill Troxell A student rally was held last Thursday night in Haas Auditorium at 7% Among those who spoke were Jeanette Riebman, a member of the Pennsylvania State Assembly, and Martin Morand, director of APSCUE (Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty). The rally was held to inform interested students on some of the problems that the state colleges are facing. The subject matter consisted of topics such as retrenchment, tuition increase, college community relations, and the "Kies Memorandum. " The key speaker, Jeanette Riebman, was on the BSC campus for most of the day. She is also in the process of campaigning for one of the Pennsylvania positions in the U.S. Senate. Due to the fact that she had another engagement later in the evening at Lebanon Valley College, she gave a short but concise speech to the students and faculty that were present. Her main point of stress was that students should become active. "It is important to have student strength ," Riebman said. She insisted that students register to vote even though newly-elected County Commissioner Bill Kile refused to let the registrars come up on campus for voter registration. When this subject came up she stated, "Don 't be apathetic , register to vote, get involved : only we can do it! " Riebman spoke mainly on the problems of retrenchment and tuition increase. She has been serving as the Chairperson of the Education committee in the State House and Senate. She stated that we should have "a quality education at a price that can be met." Riebman came up with several statements on how students can aid in solving our problems. "I challenge students not to sit and take it.... It is your responsibility to speak to your Representatives," she said. Another topic that Riebman stressed was the problem of political bureaucracy in the educational systems. To this she remarked : "Every thing is set by politicians, don't let others ¦mxraj|3 ¦BB^^HI^^^H^HBBlBHBHBHiHBBHBBBHHHB ^^Hi^HBI^^^BHWHOBHBHCKiiSHHHHIHBBHWBBi ^BBBBHI^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w Beautification program awarded $30,000 by CGA by Diane Abruzzese Campus Beautification , new CGA vehicles, and a concert on March 10, were the headlines of the first CGA meeting this semester, held Monday night. CGA approved a motion to allocate $30,000 to the Campus Beautification project. The money will be used to install basketball and volleyball courts above Luzerne, where the parking lot now stands. Grass will be planted to surround this area , and according to Dr. Thomas Manley, this area could possibly be flooded for ice skating in the winter. Another aspect of this project includes a picnic area behind Columbia which involves finishing the lawn and landscaping, About $15,000 of this money will be used for the Haas Auditorium Plaza Complex. Drives , walks , and patips . wmijd be installed , ass well as all the ground-work necessary for the completion of the fountain outside of Haas. The actual restoration of the fountain will be funded from other sources. When questioned about the logic in spending so much money for trees, landscaping, etc., Dr. Manley replied that it is difficult if not impossible to put a value on an esthetic quality such -s beauty, and that the increased beauty of the campus would be an asset in attracting new students. Right now, CGA owns a school bus, which students have seen parked behind Centennial Gym. Members voted to sell this bus because a licensed bus driver is required to drive it , and the bus is expensive to operate. Two 15-passenger vans will be purchased from Gay Car Sales in Berwick , at $6,800 apiece , pot; Including :salesitax. Stan Toczek, CGA President , pointed out the practicality of these vans for use by the athletic teams for transportation to away games. Previously, these teams had to take one 12-passenger van plus another vehicle in order to move all equipment. Proceeds from the sale of the CGA bus will go towards the purchase of these two vans. The BNE committee reported that on February 10, in Haas auditorium ,, there will be a concert featuring "Kansas". Tickets will be $3.50 for students. Another concert is planned for April. According to reports given at the meeting, CGA cannot afford to lose more than $3,000 on this concert. The council voted to accept Matthew Connell as off-campus representative for CGA. He replaces Kelth .Hetsko , make decisions that will not satisfy you." By this time the crowd was very excited Riebman changed her topic around from what the problems are and how they can be solved to why she should be elected as a Senator to help the students. She gave these reasons : "I am running for the U.S. Senate because I think it is time that we get politicians that care about public interest, instead of small self interests." She then went on to say, "Elect people to offi ce that give a damn," and ended her speech with, "If you are concerned about your community give me the chance to prove myself. " At this, Riebman received warm applause and was escorted out of the building. The next speaker was Mr. Marty Morand , director of APSCUE. He went to school and is a personal friend of Riebman. Morand gave a long speech which covered mostly the same material that Riebman's speech did, but in more detail, especially with regard to the Kies Memorandum. This memorandum was made up by a woman in Harrisburg named Kathleen Kies. Morand said that Kies, for some reason or another, had a great deal of influence and power in H a r r i s b u r g , but to his knowledge, had no experience with college-level education. The memorandum basically states that in order to maintain any college system in the state of Pennsylvania the following must be done ; first of all student tuition increase which could raise the cost of tuition next fall to $990. Also, a "longer term " action cutbacks in brograms will occur at each of the 14 state colleges. The cutbacks will be made in the following manner; Each respective college will only offer certain degree programs, (i.e. English at BSC, history at ESSC and earth space science at Slippery Rock. ) This would mean that if a student decided to change his or her major , a transfer to a different college would more than , likely be necessary. This could severly hurt students financially especially those who commute to college because they lack the funds required to reside away from their home towns. Mr. Morand, with regard to the whole subject gave this hypothesis: "I believe that Pennsylvania can't afford to cut back in education because it is historically so small that it would completely delete it." After this statement he also changed his subject to cam paign- ing for Riebman with these statements; "I'm not ready to sit back and support s o c i a l i z a t i o n for the rich...Jeanette may be able to change this, but whether or not she does, she will do her best. " The attention the turned to some of BSC's own speakers. Pierce Atwater who spoke on the petitions that were posted outside the lobby. These were two petitions. One called for the signatures of 100 registered voters to get the county registrars back on campus and the other was for a general reduction in tuitions without program cutbacks. Atwater in a short talk,»urged students and faculty to sign the petitions and to urge other students not present to become involved and active in fighting the problems. - Next to speak was Tom Mulhern, who is the coordinator of CAS (Commonwealth Association of Students) here at BSC. He explained the CAS as a state-wide organizat- ion od students (20 ,000) whose sole purpose is to unite as a group to put pressure on the state and to help resolve problems in the upperlevel educational programs in Pennsylvania. He gave one example of what the group can do by recalling that CAS stopped a $60 tuition hike that would have occured last fall. He ended his spot by urging the audience to join CAS. The last speaker of the evening was Stan Toczek CGA president. He urged students to get with it and become active in trying to solve the problems that the college now faces. He also recounted an incident that has occured prior to the rally. Toczek attended a dinner with Jeannette Reibman, Bill Kile and others. Now that Bill Kile has been elected to C.G., he strongly opposes the student vote and feels that students should register at home. Toczek expressed his disgust at Kile 's attitude and urged those present to register and vote this spring. W a n t e d ! ! !

'i ': ' ' ¦ ¦ ' "¦ H^KttillH Vote Tuition raised to $990 per semester? Impossible to change your maj or? These questions could be a reality for BSC as well as the other state colleges. What's happening in Harrisburg these days? At the recent rally in Haas, Marty Morand, Executive Director of APSCUF, pointed out that Harrisburg views women as a bad investment and since state colleges have a significantly higher percentage of women to men, it is here that budgetary cuts are to be made. It is in the state colleges where the evils of retrenchment and tuition increases hang over student's heads. And the latest brainstorm is to isolate each college for specific majors - should you decide to change your major , hence necessitating enrolling in a different college, you can't! And what of the students who are forced to choose a college for its proximity to home? If that nearby college doesn't offer what you want to study then you 're out a college degree. Take this along with the tuition increase and you'll see a lot less people able to attend college at all. So where can you help? As Pierce Atwater stressed at the rally last Wednesday, you should register to vote - elect candidates who want to help the state college system, not destroy it. Stan Toczek, our C.G.A. President, spoke out at the rally about the importance of voting by relating an incident he encountered at the recent dinner with Bill Kile, newly-elected County Commissioner (see news story , pageJ). This frankness on the part of Toczek is a very positive step forward - it gives a direction for the student body to follow : don't let anyone stop you from voting. If Pierce Atwater and other student activists can not get town registers set up on campus, then it is your duty to get down to Town Hall and register on your own. And, as Tom Mulhern, CAS coordinator at BSC , pointed out at the rally, perhaps you should consider supporting CAS with your dollar to keep a lobbyist for the state colleges right where the action is in Harrisburg. Just don't sit back and let the state college system dissolve. There are some students on this campus who are working hard to save BSC and the rest of the state college system - but they need your support. Don't wait until everything goes down the drain - now is the time to act. Register and be sure to VOTE.

Now that we're here, what are we going to do about celebrating 200 years of United States history? We could all go on pilgrimages to the most famous of historic spots: Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. But since we all have limited incomes these days, I suggest staying on campus and seeking out our own brand of Bicentennial observations. BSC & TheBicentennial Yes, take a look at the Campus Calendar and you'll find that a lot of organizations are concerning themselveswith the celebration. One of the most rewarding events promises to be the return of last year's popular Dance Marathon ; 1976' s marathon will be. memorable for it's patriotic theme. It will be interesting to see how the marathon participants dress-up tennial Committee is accepting ideas for flower beds and fire hydrant decoration to display Bicentennialism. A flag mall is also in the planning stages for display in '76. It is also hoped that a historic campus fountain can be resurrected for a permanent addition to- BSC. Newlandscaping outdoor eating areas, play areas, and simply beautiful areas are all being planning for campus improvement. Literary history The Arts Council is one of the most ambitious campus organizations in regards to Bicentennial recognitions. This week (Thursday and Friday ) they are featuring a Faulker symposium. William Faulkner, of course, is recognized as one of the U.S.'s most celebrated authors. Faulkner 's nephew and biographer will be on crmpus to provide our community with movies, slides and insights to this ' famous American. for dancing: each dancer is required to enter the contest in garb which is representative of one of the 50 United States.

I ¦ ¦ ., , 1 ¦¦ ¦ •• I ,_ I ^ Dear Editor: Most of us are now aware of the problems BSC and the other state colleges face, problems which threaten the welfare of all segments of the college community. The recent Kies memorandum shows just what the Department of Education wants to do to us, jack up tuition and fees, freeze enrollments, cut back programs, and fire faculty, administration, and staff. We are all in this together, and we all need one another's support. Our problems are almost entirely political . Presently we in the state colleges lack the clout to defend our interests as effectively as Penn State and the private schools defend theirs. The situation is not hopeless, for we have a weapon available to us:; the vote. THE. O N L Y W A Y WE C AN DEFEND OUR INTERESTS IS TO REGISTER AND VOTE IN L A R G E N U M B E R S , IN BLOOMSBURG. The coming primary election Apr. 27 is especially crucial. Sen. Franklin Kury is running for reelection. In the past he has been on our side, but , if he knows he has a large student constituency he must listen to, he is going to fight a lot more vigorously for us. Rep. Kent Shelhamer will be leaving the General Assembly to become State Secretary bf Agriculture. This means that the race for his House seat will be wide open , and a large student vote could determine the outcome. The winner then would have to work hard for us or risk losing our support in the next election. Unfortunately , we have met s e t b a c k s . One C o u n t y Comissioner appears quite hostile to student's voting, and plans for combining voter registration with registration for class fell through. It is still possible that the registrars will come to campus later this semester, but don't count on it. So, if you are still not registered you will have to walk a few blocks to the courthouse ( the red building across from the Magee Hotel) . YOU CAN REGISTER ANY WEEKDAY SIMPLY BY WALKING DOWN TO THE COURT- HOUSE. Get most out of your vote Unless you are a commuter, BE SURE TO REGISTER HERE IN BLOOMSBURG , WHERE YOU VOTE WILL DO THE MOST GOOD. Don't let anyone talk you out of it. This is important. If you vote by absentee ballot in your hometown, your vote will be dilut- ed and ineffective. Here in Bloomsburg your vote will be part of a huge bloc, which the politicians must pay a t t e n t i o n to. Remember : IF YOU LIVE IN BLOOMSBURG, YOU CAN VOTE IN BLOOMSBURG , E V E N IF Y O U H A V E ALREADY REGISTERED SOMEWHERE ELSE. Simp- ly reregister here, and forget all about your other registra tion. Of course you can only cast one ballot. Be sure to register WITH A POLITICAL PARTY. If you don't, you forfeit half your rights, because tou won't be able to vote for most candidates in the primary or elect members of your party committee. If you are really into politics and want to influence things, consider running for your party committee in your ward . Go to the County Board of Elections in the court house, get a nominating petition , and get the necessary s i g n a t u r e s of registered members of your party in your ward , notarize it, and return it between Jan. 27 and Feb 17. Your name will be on the ballot in April.

Last month, a details. meeting was held involving doctors, two resident deans, four members of the Counseling Center and Dean Norton. What came out of that meeting was the realization , by those attending, that the attitude of the students concerning the hospital and is staff was quite poor and that certain measures must be taken in order to remedy the situation. Among the changes made was the provision for the students to make a choice of If you 've got \t , prove it If you want doctors If one of the college jt , work for it.

TO • I, , • r. ; . . ,, iO I than the hospital's doctors , the Educational Testing Service (ETS) reports several major changes in two national testing programs whose scores are used as part of the admission process in many of the nation's graduate schools. Both programs, the newlytitled Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and the Graduate Record Examination ( GRE ) together test more than 400 ,000 prospective graduate student every year. ETS . says the changes were made to help simplify the test-taking process by making it more accomodating for student candidates. The GMAT formerly was called the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. The new name parallels a similar change in the sponsoring council' s n a m e , reflecting a trend among graduate business schools to broaden their curricula and degree titles to include other areas of administration, as well as business. The program is developed and conducted by ETS for the Admission Council for G r a d u a t e Study in Management , a group representing 43 graduate schools of management. Another significant change in the GMAT is an expanded admission ticket correction form that allows the candidate to ^ verify , and correct if necessary, the accuracy of the information he or she provided ETS on the registration form.

James Faulkner, 52, is the nephew of the late author. He w a s b o r n in O x f o r d , Mississippi, and graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1947. He wasf a fighter pilot in the Pacific during WWII and the Korean War , and retired at the rank of colonel. His stories have been published in the Southern Review, Delta Review, Delta Heritage and in the Mississippi Review. He is married to the former Nancy Watson and they have three children. Joseph Blotner was born in Plainfield, NJ in 1923. He g r a d u a t e d from Drew University in 1947. received his [' Aat Northwestern and earned his doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania in 1951. Most of his work has been as a teacher at the University of Idaho, University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He attained the rank of 2nd lieutenant while serving in the U.S. Army Air Force and received the Air Medal. He has written six books, three of which deal with Faulkner , including "Faulkner : A Biography " a two volume work published in 1974. He has also written numerous articles, essays and reviews. He is married to the former Yvonne Wright and they have three daughters. The program will consist of slides, a film and a lecture on Thursday at 8:15 p.m. in the Haas Auditorium. The next day at 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., 'there will be a coffee hour and discussion in the ' Bakeless Faculty Lounge. On Friday afternoon , Faulkner and Blotner will give a join lecture at 1:15 in Haas Auditorium. The public is invited and there will be no admission charge for any of the presentations. Hospital responds to complaints answer was, "You ( the college ) never asked us before." Dean Norton also mentioned that the production line style of medical treatment made the hospital "like a meat factory" and that from npw on, the service will be more personalized and the student shouldn 't have to wait more than 15 to 30 minutes before receiving medical attention . Also, in order to see how the students view the health service, the hospital now has evaluation forms in which the student may fill out and write their comments down. Although he believes that "the system is good" and possibly the best in the state college system, Norton knows that changes need to be made and that students will continue to make criticizisms. He urges students to let him know of any m i s t r e a t m e n t and asks students to contact Stan Toczek (CGA President) if they are interested in serving on CGA's Health Committee. New mini courses offered at BSC Computers Two non-credit mini courses titled "An Introduction to Computer Programing " and "Italic H a n d w r i t i n g for Beginners" will be offered by BSC during the early part of the Spring semester through its Continuing Education program.

Page Five Photo Forum What do you think of the CGA ? by Randy Mason Anne Moersh- I really don't hear too much about CGA. As far as I'm concerned, an organization as important as this should be more publicized. I don't think they involve enough of the students on campus. It's more of just a select group of students. Larry Nestor- 1 think CGA is a most important channel through which college decisions must go. 1 don't necessarily agree with all of their decisions, but I think they continue to move in the right direction. ^ Raline Mastruzzo- CGA is effective in certain areas of college life, ~but I think they should have more support of the students and eliminate some of the red tape they must go through to get a decision passed. JtoCKy- Being a transfer student and seeing how other schools work using approximately the same budget as BSC, I feel that the CGA does a very poor job of allocating funds. As far as entertainment is concerned, perhaps CGA could poll students to see what they want. § Like to Bowl | Bowling Leagues are being H organized for all Student 1| ! f§ U Organizations ; Fraternities ,]! clubs, etc., Dorm i H Sororities, Residents, and Faculty and l p It Staff members.

As more students get involved, more things would get done. But I don't feel its right for CGA to cut funds of certain athletic teams because of a few poor seasons. This is no way to improve the team; it will only hurt them. Tracy Jones- 1 have yet to see CGA work to its potential in representing the student interests. Its time for the students to elect CGA officials on the basis of what they've done for the students and not what fraternity they belong to. Barry Pearson- From what I've seen and heard of CGA this year, its been much more responsive to the needs of the students than in the past. All of the pleas for suggestions on how to improve CGA from the students , as well as its statement concerning final exam week last semester, point this out.

Photos by Wayne Palmer Give me the opportunity: to represent you "where the decisions ^ count," said Senator Jeanette Reibman at the rally Wednesday, Jan. 11. Senator Reibman hurried through her speech as she was due in Lebanon at 8:00. She stressed , to the small turn out of college students and people wanting to m ake the most of their potential, "Education has to have support. " Senator Reibman told the General Assembly what the college means to the economy of Bloomsburg by illustrating that the students buy merchandisefrom the stores downtown. She said that everybody is involved in politics; tuition is set by the political process, opportunities are set by (the political process, and prices are set by the political process. SenatortReibamn said that "politics is not a dirty word,# there are just sometdirty politicians." She was then hurried out the door and her. campaign( representatives attempted to arouse some enthusiasm from tfcfet audience. Martin Morand, Directobof th© Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty,rtook control of the rest of the program as it was directed partly towards a political rally. He said Senator Reibman should be elected to the United States Senate as the problems of school retrenchment need to be taken to the federal level ; Morand also told the audience that Bav heads the rest of the fifty states in its support and subsidizirig of private institutions. He said that in a private institution-a student receives per pupil two, three, or four times the funding that a student at BSC receives, using public funding. Also, he said that Pa; has the highest tuitions in the country which is supposed to be offset because Pa. provides state grants. He pointed out that the PHEAA grants go down year by year as the tuition goes up and that the student receives one third of what PHEAA expanded its program to includecstuderits in private schools. The registrar was notified during registration that the out-of-state rate for tuition credit rate graduate classes would go from $43 per credit an hour to $50. The reasoii« for this was that the universities complained because state colleges'; rates are so low that people are attending them instead of the universities. A special board was to be consulted about this rise in pericredit hour and was not, so Pittinger had acted illegally. His alternative was to lower the rate to $49, but to this date, no reduction has been met. Morand then told the audience about the Kies Memo which puts a ceiling on the enrollment in state colleges. Within the ceiling all programs must be balanced :wluch means that there will be a regionalization among the state colleges. Four or five colleges in eastern Pa. will have some but mot all of the present programs. Sputnik spurred;education forward in the U.S. More and more studints were encouraged to enter college. The cutback will be in areas where money is being wasted and there is no return. For example, when a person graduates, he gets a job and starts to pay taxes, paying the money back into the system. It is assumed that girls will not work at their chosen profession because sooner or later they get married. There are two ways to; handle this problem ; either find ways to use these people or cut-back on training these people and the state chose the latter solution . Morand discussed the Commonwealth University Bill which would give the state colleges a greater - degree of independence. State colleges waste time and money because they have to go through channels before they can gey anything accomplished. If a state college doesn 't spend all of its appropriation , it goes back to Harrisburg, but Penn State can keep theirs and use it to hire lobbyists in Harrisburg. One of the reactions to the rally was that students believed it would be more on an informative level.than on the level of a political rally. Others were disappointed that Senator Reibman wasn 't there longer. She was there approximately 15-20 minutes. The rally seemed to be a success as students that attended the rally know where Senator Reibman stands concerning the state colleges and are more aware of some of the problems confronting the state colleges. Marty Morand speaks to students at the rally on points such as the Kies memorandum and the importance of student voting. Margo Allman: designs in sculpture by JamesJohnStablnaki Margo Allman is an accomplished artist and personality.A visit to her exhibit of sculpture and prints in Haas Gallery is an experience that is delightful and inspirational. Touring the exhibit and seeing her art works was stimulating to me. I spoke to Margo Allman and asked some questions about her exhibit. It's nice to look at an art show and formulate your ideas, but none can compare to the actual sentiment that the artist feels in regards to their creation. When I was first introduced to Allman, her vitality and selfconfidence were immediately felt in her warm and secure handshake. Most of Allman 's works at the Haas Gallery are wooden sculptures. So, I asked her what the most important factor was in creating an art form. She said. " First of all, I have to have a piece of wood I respond to." This involves going into the woods and seeking out formations that are appealing. She also said, "I have lots of friends who do a lot of scouting and bring me pieces of wood they'd think I'd like." Allman's basic tools for her wood sculptures are a hammer and a sharp chisel. She said, "The technique is simply to remove the wood not wanted. The impetus for the forms comes from my personal search to create works with tension, expressivenesss, and power. " She told me that "each piece of s c u l p t u r e takes approximately a year to Spring Semester complete, from beginning to end. " Margo Allman has had six years of formal education. She attended the Smith College, the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, the University of Delaware, and the University of Pennsylvania. Her work has been on display throughout the New England States and Toronto, Canada. Some of her works are in the permanent art collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Delaware Art Museum. Currently, Allman's home and work studio are in West Gove, Pennsylvania. Margo Allman impresses me as an artist and friend. The warmness she generates from within her soul can be seen and felt in her Her ability to capture the lan dscape and other nature forms can also be easily seen. There are very few people in the world that have the expression and resoursefulness that Allman possesses. Anyone who is a connoisseur of art , nature, and life, should visit Allman 's exhibition. Works of hers such as "Womb Form," "Organic Growth," "Struggle ," "Landscape Form," and "Moon Growth," will revitalize an imagination and inspire a new avenue for releasing fantasies in your mind. Allman's exhibition will be on display until January 30 m the Haas Gallery. See it. Feel it. I can assure you the experience will enrich the nucleus of your inner most self.

Representative With the dawn of Bicentennial 1976, 1am pleased to see that students are taking the initiative to organize against those matters which determine their fate at Bloomsburg State College. The new figure of 500 plus members into the Commonwealth Association of Students (C.A.S. ) is a credit to Bloomsburg and all state college students of Pennsylvania. I cannot stress the importance of membership in an organization such as C.A.S., especially when one considers the present status of the Pennsylvania state owned institutions. Talk about higher tuition 990.00 , talk about ceilings on enrollment , talk about program cuttings , talk about regionalization of course offerings , talk about deficit funding, thus larger classes and poor quality education just about sums up the present status of the state owned Institutions , as dictated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education . Students are finally realizing that their education and that of their younger brothers and sisters are sharply being curtailed. Yet we as students are now beyond the questions stage and are looking for positive., aff lmMnf tof rf iW problems., )n answer « t*>.qll f it the above is where C.A.S. comes in. We are in a critical political year with many public positions being desired for by influential people. If C.A.S. had the support of all 80,000 students that it represents candidates would come to us and ask us what we want. Remember : they work for us. At present this situation does not exist. Without the support of the constinuency C.A.S. represents much of what is before mentioned could become a reality. We are all students w i t h common p r o b l e m s desiring the same answers. The C o m m o n w e a l t h Association of Students is the only member organization that represents - all state college s t u d e n t s .

JOHN'S FOOD MARKET Located on the corner Leona rd and Main St. Bloomsburg * Open Daily 7 days a week ^'¦fl ^' ftK uV* P^A^u Male homosexuals speak out Straightf acts on gay s W BSC by Barb Wanehisen EDITOR'S NOTE : Last semester the "Campus Voice" featured a Photo Forum dealing with the question of homosexuality of the BSC campus. Since that time, a number of male homosexual students have offered their experiences and help in the compilation of facts about the malehomosexualat BSC. It's difficult to ascertain the number of gays that there are on the BSC campus. One male gay suggested that 10 r cent is a moderate estimate as this is the nation figure for college campuses. Another bluntly noted, "I could probably name about 200 that I know on this campus right now." Why is it that this figure seems somewhat surprising? One gay explained that people generally assume "you 're heterosexual until proven guilty ". The percentage of gays is higher on campuses than in the world at large. As one homosexual pointed out , colleges are ideally institutions that provide freedom of expression; peers tend to be understanding of different lifestyles. Do homosexuals find it important to be accepted? The gays supplying the background for this article noted that when- their homosexuality is discovered by male friends, the friendship usually does not suffer for it. Only one gay was outspoken in the opposite viewpoint: he related several counts where friendships with other males were destroyed once his homosexuality was discovered. The standards of today;s society seem to be an important factor in regard to this touchy subject. A heterosexual fears to be seen with a homosexual for fearof others believing him to be gay as well. The gay who shared his experiences of broken friendships attributes this "guilt by association" as part of the answer to the breakups. Concert Choir andBSC Players questioned Another facet of guilt by association is the stigma hich seems to be attached in belonging to such campus organizations as the Concert Choir and the Bloomsburg Players (the theatrical group on camous). b**•""*Bie?,ck Mik e 's Hat NGBD ¦Better than ever Symphonium Dream - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (United Artists, 1975) The NGDB are one of the most durable, entertaining, and enterprising bands around today. The Dirt Band consists of Jeff Hanna, Jim Ibbotson, John McEuen, and Jimmie Fadden ; all four play a variety of instruments and Jim, Jeff , and Jimmie handle the vocals. In concert the Dirt Band put on one of the most enjoyable live shows that it has been my pleasure to • see. Their versatility comes across quite well (McEuen played banjo , fiddle pedal steel, mandolin, acoustic* quitar , and even recited poetry) ; other than their musical talents they are a very likeable, affable group of guys. I happened on their first album, "Uncle Charley & His Dog Teddy" by chance a few months ago and I'm glad that I did ; I haven't seen it around in many record stores at all. Their other albums have been far and few between. The NGDB have only put out a total of five albums over the span of a 10 year career. Their masterpiece has to be ,lwm The Circle Be Unbroken ", a 3-record anthology with many country greats (Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, Roy Acuff) . Now comes "Dream " and I consider it to be one of the better albums that I have bought in the past year. It is a well-produced, tightly-knit album which features the Dirt Band at their varied best. Side one begins with a wind harp piece, "Wlnterwhite", which reminds me of something that Todd Rundgren might do these days. This leads into "Raleigh-Durham Reel", a nifty instrumental which features all four members. Next in line is ''Battle Of New Orleans" and the Dirt Band gives the song a sparse, feicmSrly ^en^^^ cussion on this song. "Bayou Jubilee" is terriffic! What a song! It's a cajunflavored ditty dedicated to Doug Kershaw and the state of Louisiana and both should be honored. Another high-spirited instrumental, "Sally Was A Goodun" follows. "Hey Good Lookin"' features Linda Ronstadt, the best female vocalist around today in the country-rock field. John McEuen then performs some fine banjo picking (classical) ; at firs t it f elt out of place to me, but the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. "Daddy Was A Sailor", an uptempo, yo-ho-ho, sea tune rounds out the first side along with some side effects. Side two is worth the price of the album alone. "Ripplin ' Waters" is one of the most relaxing, soothing, peaceful songs that I have ever heard. One can tell that the Dirt band have been living in Colorado for the past few years by the beautiful lyrics; the guy 's wives add some vocals on this track. "(All I Have To Do Is) Dream", the old Everly Bros, tune is given an excellent rendition by the boys. This was the single from the album but it didn't meet with much success. "Mother of Love" continues the pace of the second side with a soft-rock tune very nicely. "The Moon Just Turned Blue" is a country-boogie tune which features some suburb piano w o r k by P a u l H a r r i s (Manassas, Souther, Hillman, Furay Band) . "Gotta Travel On", another instrumental is next and "Joshua Come Home" is the band's reggae-flavored song on the album. Again the Dirt Band handles this style quite well and Leon Russell plays a few instruments on this one. Some more wind harp and sound effects finish up the album. Symphonium Dream is an excellent album. The NGDB have captured some of the finesse that they generate on stage and managed to place it on plastic. The various ARPs, accordions, symphomiums, etc. only serve to enhance the already unified sound of the Band and make this album a pleasurable listening experience. Hitter's Office Supply 112 E.

Sexual relationships "Interactions are the same in the straight world as in the homosexual world; it's just a matter of sexual preference" noted one gay. This statement seemed to be accepted by other gays as well. Another gay noted that most relationships begin as an interest in getting to know another person. Sometimes this interest grows into a sexual experience, sometimes not. There was a definite interest on the part of all the gays in equate homosexual and heterosexual relationships. However, when asked about the situation of homosexuals searching public bathrooms for a mate, one gay nodded to the implied contradiction and dissolved it by saying: "Lonely single people hang out looking for a quick lay ; it's exhausting to look for an understanding lover. Whoisgay? Contrary to the notion that a gay can be spotted on sight, there is no cut and dry way to immediately recognize a a homosexual person. The gays interviewed for this article stated that the only way to ascertain whether a person is gay or not is through honest conversation. One gay pointed out that because of stereotypes, a straight person can be labelled "gay" is he has effem inate actions. Any type of stereotyping or generalizing is dangerous. There it is. It is hoped that because of the information provided, some misconceptions about homosexuality will be dispelled and mOre people will be enlightened on this controversial topic. wijj a If ^^ uiri calculators Va lentine cards cut-outs BLOOMSBURG .EBSKi. 7&U40 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Utfors Manuscript* Rasuirto* Vickie Mears , President of the Concert Choir , notes:how difficult it is to recruit men oh the campus to join and-or stay with the Choir, once they sense the atmosphere that comes with being a man involved in the arts . Because of some rash generalizations by others, this stigma turns off some ablevoiced males who do not wish to be regarded as gay. Another campus group which carries this stigma is the Bloomsburg Players. One "straight" male student related an incident that occurred to him at the campus Counseling Center. In the course of the conversation, after the student mentioned that he belonged to the Bloomsburg Plyaers , the counselor asked: "Tell me, are you gay?" To which the student quickly retorted, "No, are you?" Letting others know A major decision for a gay to make concerning his sexual status is what is termed his "coming out." This means telling people candidly about homosexual preference by socializing at gay bars and being open about his sexuality. There are several drawbacks involved in coming out; one is that the state can deny a homosexual j obs as policemen or teachers. This is particularly harmful on the BSC campus as a large percentage of students are involved with the teaching field. Another problem with coming out is family reactions of e m b a r r a s s m e n t and rejection to the gay 's frankness.

Q \ L P >* L P Radocha hits 1000 mark Cagers: 2-0 in tourney, bow to Gheyney byTimO'Leary The keystone Invitational Classic, recently held here at Bloomsburg, gave rise to some of the best basketball Huskie fans have seen this year. The tournament was played early last week and pitted Bloomsburg against Cortland College and Roanoke on respective nights. But even with the lull in the academic schedule, turnout for both games was poor. The first game of the tournament saw the Huskies handle Cortland College to an easy 9471 victory. The game provided little excitment in the way of basketball talent , as both teams Dlaved a verv conservative game. The big difference came on offense, as Bloomsburg hit well from everywhere on the floor, and Cortland didn 't. It was not a terrific night for the home team, but it added yet another notch in the win column. The Roanoke game provided a totally different style, as the Bloomsburg cagers worked up a very powerful offense, and gave the fans quite a game. The first half opened with Bloomsburg well in control , and ended with them on top by eight points. Jerry Radocha played a good game pulling down 11 of the teams 33 rebounds, and scoring 33 points on the night. But the second half provided yet another down, in the teams season of up and downs. From the very start of the half the Huskies seemed to fall apart , thier offense sputtered, and their defense let up 37 points. But Roanoke choked on the final shot, and as time ran out Jerry Radocha pulled down his eleventh board of the night and cleared the length of the court to end the game 70-69. A cliff hanger 'til the end. Moving beyond the Keystone Tournament , Bloomsburgs next big game was with one of the most powerful college teams in recent years- Cheney State. Although Cheyney has earned this reputation validly, the team they feilded last Saturday night did not deserve it. (It was probable one, of the worst teams Cheyney has sent onto the court in recent history.) The game went to Cheyney 59-55, but with a few breaks and a little more effort it could have gone the other way. On the brighter side of Bloomsburgs play , Jerry Radocha had an excellant game, scoring over twenty points and moving into by Bill Sipler Bloomsburg State College will see the institution of Ron Puhl to the head football coaching spot next fall. Coach Puhl replaces Coach Bill Sproule who resigned last semester after watching the Huskies turn in their second season in a row with only one victory. Coach Puhl currently is the varsity track coach at BSC, and in the ten years as head coach he has compiled a 94-24 record. He hopes to finish this year with over 100 victories on his record as he indicated he will probably step down as head track coach at the end of this season . Coach Puhl will be trying to put the BSC football program back on its feet next year in terms of its competitiveness; The Huskies have dropped to the lower half of the conference in the last two years and have lacked the aggressiveness of a competitive club. Puhl feels that he is returning to an area that he left unfinished. He is looking forward to the challenge of getting back into the ranks of the competitive clubs. One of the problems facing him as he goes about trying to bring about this change is the rebuilding of the team 's offense. BSC had problems putting points on the board and also hanging onto the ball last year , To change this, Coach Puhl feels that he will have to look over his players and see what they are capable of doing and applying his theories on offensive football in the directions that his players are capable of taking them . Coach Puhl was asked to apply for the position after it opened up last semester and he decided to accept the obvious challenge of trying to get the team back on the winning track. He is' optomistic at the possibilities of turning the team around and has a positive outlook that one hopes will carry over to the players. One Of the trademarks it seems of the track teams under Puhl's guidance is that they are competive and they have both a ginning attitude and tradition , something that has been lacking with the football squad in the past two years. It is hoped (hat this attitude and tradition can pass on to the members of the football team and they can be turned around in a winning direction. the prestigious 1,000 point club , an honor held by only three other players in Bloomsburgs history. Radocha, a junior , was already a member of the top ten scorers club and has a chance ot become the highest scorer ever to play basketball at Bloomsburg State. - Other outstanding players who deserve recognition would be Rich Evans who has scored 143 pts. and has a scoring average of 11.9. Lead guard Rich Yanni , who does not usually play that position, has played an excellant year and scored well over a hundred points so far this season. The scores Yanni has rolled up are especially a tribute to his effort , since he is trying to work from a new position. The remainder of the squad has spent the season on a severe note of inconsistency. Pictured above is one of Margo Allman 's sculpture's now being displayed in Haas gallery until January 30. (photo by Palmer ) Young team en thusiastic about upcoming season by Mary Pat O'Donnell Women 's basketball will start Jan. 26 in a game against Susquehanna University. This year Bloom has a rather young team with only six returning players from the last year's squad. Despite the fact that they are young in playing experience, the freshman group does possess a lot of varsity high school experience and appears to have been well* coached. Twenty -one girls . were selected to play on the -Women's BSC basketball team. Three are juniors and they are Ellen French , Sally Miller , and JoAnn Montecalvo. Anne D'Igazio, Cathy Mattews, Bev Marcy, Julie Ludrof , and Mary Balabah were the five sophomores chosen . The 13 picked from the freshman class are Deb Bartuch, Fran Bolger, Kimet Herder, Leslie Kulick, Sue Lincovich, Terri Mangino, Terry McHale, Sue McKeegan, Sharon Stachell, Candy Serafin, Lynda Wiest, Terri STahler and Donna SantaMaria. In regard to competition, the toughest challengers are expected to come from Luzerne County Community College, Keystone Junior College and Bucknell University . -A ; new competitor on the shcedule will be Vilianova University, which they also expect a tight game from. Last year in the Eastern Association of Intercollege Athletics for Women tournament, the team had the experience of playing Vilianova; It was a tough and competitive g««n 9^^4^&4S&*-fhUi} ed through ,entering into the winner circle. The Varsity game record for the 74-75 school year was 10-1, while JV's stood at 4-0. This year the Varsity will compete in thirteen games and the JV's have six to look forward to. Within the winter athletic schedule there is one change in the women 's basketball schedule. The game normally scheduled for Feb^ :28 with Luzerne County Community College will be played Feb. 22 instead. Coach Susan Hibbs has an impressive athletic record. Hibbs coached both varsity and JV high.school teams in New Hampshire participating in State Tournaments held there for the last three years. She has done extensive work in YWCA 'S and camps in basketball. While on a Graduate assistaritship at East Stroudsburg State College, Hibbs coached ah undefeated JV team for the ' 73-74 school year. The girls of the BSC basketball team are looking forward to v a successful, upcoming season . by Craig Winters The Husky grapplers split a pair of meets last Weekend in competition held at the University of Buffalo. The Huskies dropped the opener to host Buffal o 28-19 while rebounding to paste Oswego by a 33-9 count. The split evened the Huskies record at 5-5 while their Eastern Wrestling League record fell to 0-3, In the opening tussel with the Bisons of Buffalo , the Bisons dominated the lower weight classes and jumped t e a qqick 13-0 lead/ Supplying the early punch were Buffalo 's Tony Oliver!(118) , Ray Pfeifer( l2f> ) and ; Raymond Clark who pinned Scott Weitzel in 1:02. Tony Carayella temporarily halted the onslaught as he 'dedlsionod Gene''-Tuno^''8^ri-4iut--. ,i Btiftelo captured the next three con- tests clinching the contest. Down 28-3, the Huskies Erik Dragow , Tino DeMarce and Andy Capelli (pin ) captured victories to close the final deficit to 9. The latter match was a pleasant departure from the first as the Huskies limited Oswege to only 1 victory and two draws. After a slow start, victories by Don Lechner, Andy Capelli and a pin by Steve Scheib turned the affair into a rout. The fall by Scheib was the lone pin in the match but Scott W e l t z e l ( 1 3 4 ) and Tony C a r a v e l l a ( 1 4 2) n a r r o w l y missed superior decisions. Other Huskies gaining decisions were Andy Capelli(l67), Dan Lechner and Tino DeMarce as Dexter Derr and Dave McCellum battled to draws. Wrestling Swimmers fall short against Clarion by Bill Sipler The BSC Huskies fell short in trying to overcome both illness and a very strong Clarion team, 67-41, at the Nelson Field house last weekend. The Huskies had six swimmers suffering from viruses or ear infections during the week before,the meet. The Huskies jumpe d to a quick seven point lead as their 400 medley relay team squeaked by the Clarion entry. The team of Steve Price, Kurt Moore, Bill Ewell and Keith Torok came from behind to give the Huskies one of the few early, thrills of the meet. New poolrecords set Clarion established several new pool marks in their victory over the Huskies. The record rush was started in the 1000 yard freestyle when Hess turned in a time of 10:23:44 to set the new mark. Williamson of BSC finished third. Clarion continued to push at the pool marks as their divers gave BSC swimming fans quite a show on the one meter board as ' Tony Perriello turned in a Score of 272.55 points to take the contest. Gary Havens finished third in the one meter com- petition. . Clarion should be exceptionally strong in the diving competition at States again this year as all three divers turned in stellar performances, to the delight of the fans. The Huskies made a strong showing at the end of the meet, as with Clarion swimming exhibition the Huskies had several of the younger members turn in excellent performances. After Clarion picked up both first and second in the 500 freestyle to give them their final total, Curt Moore and Dan Steele took first and second in the 200 yard breaststroke. For Moore, his winning time of 2:28.8 was his personal best as a Husky. Gary Havens followed up their act by placing first in the three meter event with a score of 231.2. The final event of the day, the 400 yard freestyle relay was won by a team of freshman for BSC. The swimmers, Gary Oberly, Dan Danner, Dave Repetto and Curt Moore turned in a time of 3:36 to place first. The fact that they are all freshmen , should give Coach McLaughlin some good r ^PXSWkj T^mf *^JM by This year'sHusky track team is returning from last year's indoor and outdoor season plus a terrific cross country campaign. Head coach Ron Puhl and his assistants Phil Krause and Carl Hinkle all look forward to another eventful and productive season. Tonight will be the Husky's first meet of the season at Nelson Fieldhouse against Towson State College of Maryland and Essex College of New Jersey. BSC will be depending on the performance of the returning veterans and expects a good turnout from the freshman. The meet will be all relays, which means overall performance of the teams will be more meaningful than the individual output. Some of the returning people for the distance events will be Steve Eachus, Rob Wintersteen, Gary Lausch, Dave Howells, Jeff Brandt, Jim O'Brien, Spencer Niles, Aaron Johnson and R andy Griffith. Freshman distancemen joining the ranks are Mark Bond, Bob Kantner, and Al Lonoconus, all of whom run cross-country. The middle distance people will consist of John Bergen, Jay Wohlgemuth, Glen McNamee, Gary Snyder and many new people from both the freshman and upperclasses. The hurdles have a lot of new talent this year stemming from the freshman class, and they are Landis Hinson, Ken Curcio, Brian Laudy and Fred Koetteritz. Other hurdlers that will be called upon to run are Jim Craig, Larry Dietrich and myself. The sprints will be lacking some of the people it had last year, but there are some freshman trying to beat Barry Staton. The jumpers this year are many and have good quality Just like last year. The long jump will see the return of Tony Montouth, Barry Staton, Jim Craig and Larry Dietrich. The high jumpers have new freshman Mike Kieper, a proven 6' 10" jumper, to lead that contingent. Also, in the high jump, is Stan Kita, Dave Shoemaker plus numerous other freshman. In the weight events there is Gary Coldrin and Sean McBain leading the returning veterans. New comers Dan McCallum and Rocky Stallone are freshman who show promise in that department. The pole vault will miss that expertise of Eric Koetteritz (graduated) and there to take up the slack will be Brian Sullivan, Dan VanWyk and Fred Koetteritz. The trackmen are starting anew this year and would appreciate the support of the students, administrators and staff of BSC. Come watch the Bloomin' Track '76 start off right tonight at 6:00pm. ^^^B^^aW* A ^T ^ r * £ V '4 K ' *^^^"^A ^iwfl^^v^r 5r*^ Ck (\+ CiAhAm ^SF3P *^ **lZiZto k* f I I I I L t r £ & f iuuni j riiii I ' PW»W^P)WPPMI^^ ¦ ' ¦¦ ¦ -* QED? %ff ^tr ¦"¦ __ ' I j 'IF^h I ^^ ¦ /' W ^pj^ ~^S«1 ' WSL 9 ' ^e^e\~ JmMj & /<£ thoughts about his future squads.

Keith Torok added a pair of second place finishes in both the 50 and 100 free in the losing cause. Wayne Richards added two thirds for the Huskies in the 200 free and the 200 butterfly. Steve Price picked up two thirds in the 200 Individual Medley and the 209 yard backstroke and John Williamson added a third place finish in the 500 free to go with his finish in the 1000. Comments Coach McLaughlin was highly pleased with his teams efforts. He felt that their performances were fantastic in light of the past weeks illnesses and thought that they did an outstanding job despite the defeat. The Huskies travel to Shippensburg and Penn State and will be shooting to pick up Coach McLaughlins 100 victory as head coach. Following that, they return to the Nelson Fieldhouse for four tough meets with Temple, East Stroudsburg, West Chester and Oneata. 3 *£*$ ^Cr ^ ^ Rememberto call Dad to assure himyou ^Bw reallycanfind a place toparkon campus. «¦ 4M ¦ wL ' TJ^gSfiBZS^ i^^^ | Tell him not to worry about the I fenders He'll be glad you called. ¦ ' ' I ' ' And so will you. , , '¦ M ' / ^ ^ S^K^^\B*H °*i^niyWanliBi »i '¦ , """" ¦' i " ' ¦ H Scuttlebutt.....
