Several competent swimmers such as Steve Packer, George King and Jim Campbell didn 't return to the team this year; some excellent swimmers quit during this swim season ; Curt Moore was thrown off the team ; and several swimmers don't plan to return next year if McLaughlin is still coaching. According to the swimmers interviewed , McLaughlin is strictly rule oriented and keeps tabs on his swimmers' social lives. His training rules, as stated by team members are "no alcohol ; no intramurals ; (to prevent unnecessary inj uries), no skiing; ( for the same reason), to bed by 11:30 every night includin g weekends; no parties, dances are o.k. as long as you get to bed on time. " The upperclassmen feel McLaughlin favors the younger swimmers; during recruiting they reported , McLaughlin told the prospective young swimmers to stay away from the older team members because "they 're troublemakers. " The underclassmen also feel they 're discriminated against and that the only ones who really are in his favor are the super " swimmers that pretend to be the "All-American boys." One freshman said: "He never values freshmen's opinions...he ignores you and walks away ". " As long as the swimmer is doing top work, he is held in high esteem, but as soon as he has an off-day, that swimmer is ridiculed in front of the group, " was the feeling of most of the swimmers. The swimmers feel that McLaughlin is living in the past, when what a coach said was absolute law. Now the swimmers are looking for more than that; they want better communicatio n where suggestions are welcomed and they are understood and respected as people, not just as performers. This is the reason that Stu Marvin , Doug Thran and Rick Kozicki cited for quitting the team. Various members had positive suggestions to offer the coach, but when Marvin , the spokeman for the group, confronted M cLaughli n , he maintained it was "like talking to a brick wall. " The coach, said Marvin , then gave the ultimatum to either abide by his rules or get out. Those swimmers who left felt that they had no choice but to quit. The team held a meeting and the remaini ng swimmers decided to try to talk to McLaughlin. However, said Steye Ki'cwson, one of ttye ^ younger members, "he just wouldn't listen..he started a long lecture and then said, 'and that's it. We 're not talking about it anymore. '" Some swimmers said McLaughlin does not stay at the practices to give the team the needed incentive. According to their report, he writes a workout on the board and then goes into his office to take care of paperwork. The only days that he stays with the team, they said, is when he has something specific to work on. They claim that at swim meets the coach runs around to check the comfort of the fans and to check the times. Team members stated that although they try to get each other "psyched," they have found it difficult after a while because of the tension. The BSC swimmers added the McLaughlin experienced "emotional outbursts" during the practices and meets, which they claim has aliented most of the team from him. According to some of the swimmers, "If we hadn 't had a coach, we would've won three more meets. " Curt Moore was kicked off the team approximately two weeks ago, allegedly because he disqualified in some races and because he was late or missed several practices. It was also reported that he had conflicts with the coach as well as with other team members. . . . , Cont'dpn pg. 4 by Diane Abruzzese on Feb. meeting At the CGA three years).

Dorm realignment More coed living After giving careful consideration to the opinions of staff and students regarding the merits of several realignment proposals, the Residence Life Staff announces the adoption of the following realignment plan for the 1976-77 academic year. Effective next September, Columbia , Luzerne, Northumberland and Lycoming ( the new dorm ) will house women, while Elwell Hall will continue to house men. Montour and Schuylkill Halls will become coeducational facilities. In the judgement of the Residence Life Staff , this realignment pattern will best meet the needs of the College and its resident students. The plan yields a better balance of triples between rnen and W/ HF - •'.

The changes slated for Montour and Schuylkill Halls will necessitate the relocation of the limited visitation areas for women in other buildings. The specific areas designated for limited visitation will be announced in the room lottery instructions to be sent to all eligible resident students in March. Persons with questions about the realignment plan should consult with their Resident Deans, the Director of Housing, ,or the Dean of Student iLlfe. " BSC swimmers drowning Read the news story about the BSC swim team on page one of this issue and you will find that a serious problem exists on this campus. Obviously, theswimmers need some outside help with this coaching controversy , but their situation points out a larger issue which must be dealt with. The college is supposed to be here for the students, but it is situations like the swim team is in that show how some people in power feel the reverse is true. When a substantial number of athletes object to their coach, as in this case, then something should be done to accomodate the students. Dr. Conrad Bautz, chairman of athletics, was recently made aware of the controversy through the efforts of CGA, to whom a few of the ex-swimmers explained their dilemma. Pointing out that six swimmers had walked out , Bautz was asked what he would do if ten more walked out : he replied that there simply would not be a swim team. Is McLaughlin so sacred as a swimming coach that he can 't be dealt with ? Viewing the facts, swimmers who want to compete don't want to do so under the present conditions ; does this mean "keep the coach and sacrifice the team?" The ex-swimmers have expressed a desire to swim again if they are given help in rectifying the situation ; surely there is some way to help the team pull back together , even if it means finding a new coach . This may appear to be a drastic solution , but it must be remembered that not only the ex-swimmers are unhappy ; a number still on the team have expressed dissatisfaction with the situation. A sense of team unity is essential for a good attitude towards any sport. The fact that the swimmers say McLaughlin doesn't remain with them is a serious charge. How can this be ignored? The larger issue at hand that must be considered is the philosophy that should be internal to any college : the students are important citizens of a college community, and their wishes should not be r ignored for the sake of pampering a faculty member. the situation ? The ace-in-theWhat if nothing is done to rectify hole is the fact that the swimming program is funded by the students through the CGA. Until a satisfactory compromise is met, funds should be withheld. This may seem to be a radical proposal , but it is one which would illustrate the students' power to directly influence their own affairs.

Atwater stated that several of the fraternities and sororities on this campus have purchased delegations, along with other groups and clubs, This is a good sign, but the convention is still in dire need of delegates, and more of the students of this campus should become involved. It only costs $1.50 to become a delegate, which includes a vote on all questions and candidates presented to the convention and a lunch on the second day of the convention.

If we want to draw attention to this school, it is only proper that the students here become involved in a activity which is going to be a major attraction in terms of public attention to this school. Of the 548 delegates which have signed up for the convention, 369 are from BSC and 179 are from other places. There are 5000 people on this campus and only 369 have become involved in one of the most noteable events which takes place here. The major complaint, in terms of becoming involved, is ignorance. This mock convention is exactly what the name implies. It is a simulation of the actual Democratic National Convention which will occur in August. Our convention will nominate a candidate for the presidency. It will be run in the same manner as the actual national conventions, with the ballots, demonstrations by delegations and all the other items which pertain to the party conventions. What is unique about the convention is that it is run by students and areas of student interest will be considered, as a Platform for Student Rights will be a primary item on the agenda. In addition to the convention itself , preliminary activities will also take place. Two films In 1968 and 1972 Bloomsburg State College was responsible for staging a mock convention. On April 9-10 of this year, the college will hopefully again be holding a mock convention. This convention is very important in that it will provide a meaningful political experience for students, giving them a chance to voice student opinions , bring loads of publicity to BSC, and finally be a lot of fun for the participants. As of the present, the convention is having som some difficulty in getting started. With the preliminary events less than a month away, only 548 of the 1493 positions for delegates have been filled. It is rumored that, if by March 1 all the delegations haven't been sold , there is a distinct possibility that the convention may be cancelled. Pierce Atwater, chairperson of the mock convention, feels that all the delegations can be filled by March 1, "if students get involved. " The students of this campus should get involved. It seems like we're always bitching about what a dinky place this is, so here is a chance to gain a lot of recognition for this school. Atwater noted, "Bloomsburg is well-known throughout the state, for having staged mock conventions in the past, and we need student participation, as delegates, to make this con- > • J 189-2791 \< A' Hubert Humphrey ; v,.. < • ¦ < \\) #! \£ &' Ted Kennedy [Hj Henry Jackson Eugene McCarthy John Heckman 138 Luzerne 389-2474 ''!'

The "Weekly Jabberings " column by Peggy Moran states that she sees the SVU (Student Voters United) platform as unrealistic goals for one year. She is right! But the SVU platform never professed to complete the platform. It clearly states that we will work toward the achievement of these goals! SVU recognizes many needs and services desired by the students of the BSC community . I believe that with proper organization and delegation of authority to council members and interested students, such tasks are a definite possibility. If we cannot implement these changes, channels will be established for future college councils to work with. Hiring of legal aid, a new law enforcement policy, review of medical services, the creation of a budget committee, improvement in BNE , and p u b l i c a t i o n of F a c u l t y Evaluations can all be accomplished with the needed interest that we have. We'd like to answer the retrenchment issues,but we can't....what we can do is organize the channels for all interested parties to work in a single direction for the betterment of quality education , students , faculty , non-professional employees, administration and the town of Bloomsburg. Additional concerns deal with CGA internally and with representation. SVU has the support of interested students who would act toward the achievement ot our platform . It is the thinking of SVU, once elected, to go out and recruit students who wish to actively participate in the needs and services desired by all students! There also * exisfc many factions of students whose views and participation in CGA would work toward the total betterment of the Bloomsburg State College community and CGA policy. SVU hopes to accomodate this type of representation from PSEA > IFC, ISC, CARC, SSHA, CEC, and other organizations who make up well over 1,000 students. The SVU platform is just an outline of things we'd like to see done. The students representing the platform are very flexible and willing to work with any council the students elect in . CGA. We are also concerned with school-town relations, and cultural activities which play a vital role in any college environment. The SVU are not a facade of support! We represent all students! Barb Wanchisen mentioned that I was weak and not articulate. Surely if I did not offer any personal response I would be weak. As a newcomer to CGA last year, I pushed for a student lawyer and was intimidated by College Council; because I did not have all the answers, I appeared weak. Presently I'm involved in many committees on College Council. I also work closely with the political environment and state funding of higher education. As my knowledge and activities towards student concerns increase, so do my strengths. I will work for any cause. I care about all students. I know the Editorials are often controversial and I would never question the autonomy of editorialship. I respect the needs of a free press and the right of journalists to take a stand, Students: Sure, you can leave politics alone but politics will never leave you alone because it makes all of your decisions for you—let' s start making some of our own decisions! Thank You Everyone Vote Today Presidential candidate for CGA I i: under the SVU platform - ; Tom Mulhern disappointed by the poor quality of the article and by what seemed to be a lack of interest on your part. The photograph which was supposed to appear with this article as not even located on the same page. Concerning our January 29 demonstration in Haas Auditorium held with the purpose of promoting publicity, written publicity by the VOICE was totally ignored. This made it that much more difficult for us to inform the students of the club's activities and future plans. Your reply does not ju stify your negligencein that we are a club emerging in many activities, and your coverage is vital to the club's growth. DaveFox, President George Calisto, Vice-President Dear Editor, The Karate Club of BSC wishes to apologize for the February 12 letter which apparently offended the editor and staff of the VOICE. The letter was not printed with the club's approval. We were completely ignorant of the fact that one of our members submitted this article. Because the VOICE omitted the individual's name which was included with the article, it reflects on the club as a whole. However, with all personal criticisms aside, the individual did make some valid points which were not refuted by your editorial reply. The Karate Club feels the VOICE has not given us proper coverage and previous incidents support this. On our first attempt to receive coverage, we were Mike s Hat b* l«nn r Bl«fcfc Art Garfunkel "Breaks Away" Most of us have heard of Art Garfunkel; he was half of the team of Simon & Garfunkel, the minstrels of the late 60's. Simon provided the music and lyrics while Garfunkel amplified the sound with his warbling, falsetto voice. Art is probably most famous for his lead vocal on the S & G classic, "Bridge Over Troubled water. " At the zenith of their career, S & G decided to go their separate ways. Simon went on to become a major talent as a solo act, proving his musical mastery and dexterity. Garfunkel decided to try another medium — motion pictures. His work in "Catch-22" and "Carnal Knowledge" won him critical acclaim from the press. During this period he also released a solo album entitled "Angel Clare," but the overall reaction to the album was one of yawning interest. "Break Away ' is Garfunkel ' s latest effort , released along with Simon 's latest album, 'Still Crazy After All These Years." Both albums contain the hit single "My Little Town," heralding the return of S & G as a performing unit. The strongest instrument on Garfunkel's album is his voice; it's simply beautiful . Reflecting this, most of the songs on the album are sentimental, romantic ballads. If there is a weakness with the album it's Richard Perry's production. At times handed it's just too heavy and dramatic, although he probably felt justified concerning the nature of the songs. Side one beginswith a Stevie Wonder tune, "I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)" and Art delivers a very nice rendition of one of Stevie's best songs. "Rag Doll" continues the first side and Art still relaxes the listeners with his silky voice. "Break Away" is one of the faster-paced songs on the album ; it is not as heavily orchestrated and the backing vocals of David Crosby, Graham Nash, Toni Tenille, and Bruce Johnston add immensely. "Disney Girls," a Beach Boys' tune penned by Johnston is a sugary-sweet tribute to the 50's and Art's voice remains flawless. "Waters of March" just doesn't fit into the frame of this album; I don't like thie song. "My Little Town" begins side two and one can see the difference in the styles of Simon and of Garfunkel. Simon is definitely the artist and musical genius of the two; Garfunkel is a vocalist. "I Only Have Eyes For You," a 50's tune was a single f r o mthe album and I really can't complain about the treatment which Garfunkel gives the song. The song is very pretty and Garfunkel's voice only enhances the b e a u t y . "Looking For The Right One," "99 Miles From L. A., " and "The Same Old Tears On a New Background" finish the album in the same style already established throughout the album. Although the album is a bit overproduced, the overall effect is very relaxing and sensuous. Garfunkel 's voice could make "Workin' On the Railroad" sound like a love song. I guess one has to be in the mood for this album ; if you 're up to settling down with someone you enjoy being with in front of a fireplace, sharing a bottle of wine, then I think you 'll enjoy it also. the campus voice EdltoNn chief- Barb Wanchisen Production Manager- Vickie Meat?

The entry of women into the Army ROTC program has caused some major differences in the way nurses will enter the United States Army as officer nurses. In the past, nursing students could compete for two seperate, fully funded programs that could qualify them as officer nurses. Once such program was the Walter Reed Army I n s t i t u t e of N u r s i n g (WRAIN) , and the other was the Armv Student Nurse P r o g r a m ' (A S N P ) . Both programs have presently been suspended, with their final graduates entering the Army in 1978. The Army will continue its direct commissioning program, but on a lesser scale as the Army ROTC program provided more graduates. The recruiter said that Army ROTC graduates will be first in line to receive appointments for Army nurse vacancies. Since BSC will graduate its first nursing class in May, 1979, those students participating in nursing and the ROTC program will land a job as an officer nurse earning over $10,000 per year in the United States Army . To be a nurse in the United nursing from a school that is accredited by the national professional agency recognized by the U.S. Commissioner of Education and be licensed to practice as a registered nurse in one of the states , the District of Columbia , or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The Bloomsburg State College Nursing Program plans to receive this accreditation in 1979. According to the program director, Dr. Flynn, this willbe accomplished, and students " completing the nursing program will have little difficulty with liscensing board exams. Dr. Flynn has been a Navy nurse, with a multitude of experiences working in nationally accredited nursing programs. The progreesion in the ROTC program for a nursing student would look like this: Enroll for ROTC taking one course per semester for four years and attend one six week camp between the Junior and Senior year. The first two years have no committment to continue in ROTC, but a BSC cadet may compete for a full tuition scholarship during the freshman , sophomore, or junior year. At the beginning of the junior year, a contract is signed with the Army . Scholarship students receive a $100 per month, non-taxable stipend during the school year in addition to tuition , books, lab fees, etc. After signing the Army contract, junior and Team blames coach from pg. 1 Cont'd Moore is pledging a fraternity which he believes McLaughlin is completely opposed to, and feels that this had a lot to do with the coach's decision. Moore admits that he had two absences, but he feels that one was due to a lack of communication and that the other was due to a sickness which he claims McLaughlin knew about and advised bed rest for. A lateness, Moore added, resulted because of a swimming course that he was helping McLaughlin instruct at Nelson Fieldhouse. According to Moore, the coach claimed he forgot to give him a ride to swim practice at Centennial Gym. However , Moore reportedly received feedback from the other team members indicating that McLaughlin commented to the effect that "Curt is late, because he has to take his brick to the frat house. " Before his coaching days, McLaughlin reportedly competed in boxing and football , but never in swimming, which the swimmers feel is a ~ [? , "The Best For Loss " • HARTZELL' S MUSIC S T O R E H N.

"But ," they said, "he is a great recruiter , and has brought a lot of top swimmers to this school." That fact, however, has not helped him to keep swimmers on the team over the years, and he has allegedly lost men because they become disenchanted. Rick Kozicki , a senior who is hoping for a positive change for the future swimmers, said that Dave Gibbes , a former swimmer from BSC, refused to go to nationals because he was upset by McLaughlin 's coaching. Curt Moore stated that he knows six people who will not swim next year if McLaughlin is coach. Steve Krewson has decided to take this route. Marvin refuses to return under present conditions, but if positive changes are made in McLaughlin 's coaching style, he would be willing to try again. Coach McLaughlin would not accept an immediate interview on this subj ect , therefore his comments were not available at the time the paper went to press. Dr. William F.

Upon completion of the ROTC program and the receipt of a baccalaureate degree, cadets are commissioned as officers in the United States Army. Graduating nurses are then delayed from entry into the Army until exam board requirements have been satisfactorily completed. Officer pay begins whenthe new officer enters the Army, but the earlier commissioning date has an impact on future raises. New officers enter the active Army for two or more years depending on the type of commission received. The nurse recruiter stated the Army accepted 80 direct commissions and 300 from the formerly funded programs in Fiscal Year 1975. The Army expects 600 accessions through ROTC and the direct commission program in Fiscal Year 1979, the year of Bloomsburg 's first nurse graduating class. The ROTC program at BSC is operated through a crossenrollment with Bucknell University, with instructors teaching on the Bloomsburg campus. Dr. Ray Rost , Chairman , Educational Studies and Services, is the coordinator of the ROTC program on campus. I Super HoagiesYou'll Love Them!

The 177 pounder from Tri-Valley High School avenged a loss in last year's final to Randy Loudon of Slippery Rock by ripping Loudon. The Huskies had five other place winners during the tournament with heavyweight Tino DeMarco placing second to undefeated and top seeded Chuck Coryea of Clarion while freshman Dan Lechner at 150 placed third , Andy Capelli, 167, notched the fourth slot and Chris Poff( 158) and Brian Weigle each earned fifth place finishes. The GoldenEagles of Clarion notched their fourth team title in the last five years by defeating defending titlist Slippery Rock. The eagles recorded 133.25 points to 105.75 points for Slippery Rock. The remainder of the team standings included East Stroudsburg 72, Bloomsburg 71.75, Lock Haven 69.75, Millersville 68.25, Indiana University of Pennsylvania 53.25, California 41.50, West Chester 40, Edinboro 28, Shippensburg 23.25, Kutztown 17 and Mansfield 11.50. Dan Rohn of Clarion at 142 was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament as he captured his fourth consecutive state title. By decking Keitn Jeremiah of Slippery Rock in 6:56 in the final, Rohn became only the eighth man to capture four consecutive titles. Enroute to the title Rohn posted two pins and a 19-3 superior decision. After drawing a first round bye Scheib flattened Bruce Proud of Indiana in 2:16 in the quarterfinals and followed with a lightning quick fall over West Chester's John Lonsky in just 47 struggled through the first half with a lack of coordinated team effort , the second proved to be the game breaker. All the players meshed together into one unit and held on to win, 67-57. By the end of the first half the Huskies had managed a four point lead, 5551, and built it to ten points in the second half. With the win Bloomsburg not only finishes their season on a winning note, with a record of 13-10, but also ends Kutztowns winning streak at four . The junior varsity also rounded out its season last week, playing the same schedule as the- varsity and finishing the year on a winning note with a record of 9-11. Husky hoopers finish season with two state college wins byTim O'Leary The Bloomsburg State basketball team finished out their season last week on a winning note, downing both Millersville and Kutztown State Colleges. On Wednesday the Huskies overcame their hosts at Millersville by eleven points, then on Saturday they continued their winning ways by defeating Kutztown by ten points. With these two last victories the Huskies raise their season's record to 13 wins and 10losses. The first game of the week saw Bloomsburg facing Millersville for the second time, and resulted in their second win over the Marauders. After several early tie scores, the Huskies built a four point lead, only to lose it minutes later as Millersville drove to retaliate and lead. The game was hard fought and Bloomsburg did everything they had to to beat the Marauders. The Huskies ran well with the quick Millersville offense and their coverage on defense gave no chance for high scoring. The defensive coverage , especially on Phil Walker, was probably what won the game for Bloomsburg. After several rallies by both t eams Bloomsburg managed to contain a reasonable lead by half time of 42-38. The second half gave rise to some excellent offense by the Huskies, which eventually took their four point lead and built It to the game winning margin of ten points. The last game of the season for Bloomsburg came last Saturday night at Kutztown State College. The Huskies had just broken a two-game losing streak and Kutztown was trying to build on a four game winning streak. With all of these problems facing the Huskies, the game proved to be quite an end to quite a season, From the opening tap it was destined to be a tough game and the winning team would have to be the team that put out just a little more effort. . Althou gh Bloomsburg seconds. In the final with defending champion Loudon, Scheib, the former PIAA champion from Tri-Valley High and fashioned a 6-2 lead late in the second period. Loudon staged a comeback late in the match, however, and trailed 7-5 evtering the final stanza. But, Scheib was not to be denied as he recorded an escape and a take down within the first 30 seconds of the period to ice the contest. The extent to which Scheib dominated the match was ' illustrated by his advantage time of 4:41. Freshman heavyweight Tino DeMarco impressed with a second place finish dropping only a 4-0 decision to defending champ Chuck Coryea in the finals. DeMarco, who posted a 16-1 season's record and was seeded second in the division forced Coryea to struggle to a tough 4-0 decision. The loss was impressive though for it was Coryea who handed DeMarco his only other loss, a :47 fall at Clarion. Dan Lechner (150) also fared well as he bounced back from a pin to eventual runnerup Gene Cpstello ot Slippery Rock in the quarterfinals. The Saucon Valley High grad posted decisions over Tom Formcola of Mansfield 6-2, Lou Lazzari, Kutztown 6-4 and Slippery Rock' s Gene Coleman 2-1 to nab third place. Freshman Andy Capelli ( 167) captured his first two bouts of the tournament, 7-4 over Glen Neff of Kutstown and 7-3 over Millersville's Curt Clark but dropped his next two bouts. The Husky grappler dropped a 10-4 decision to eventual champs Larry McCoy and then dropped a 2-1 heartbreaker to Clark in the consolation. Chris Poff at 158 won two early decisions but was ousted from the championship round by runnerup Chris Clark of Clarion. Poff then dropped another bout before crushing John Gehret of Slippery Rock 17-4 to gain fifth place. The Huskies, along with Clarion and Lock Haven, will be competing again next Wednesday in the first Eastern Wrestling League Tournament at Penn State. Others in the tourney include Penn State, Pittsburgh and the University of Buffalo. Winners and runners-up, plus seven wild card selections, will advance to the NCAA Division Championships.
