Toczek disillusioned Rep assembly a sham? CGA president Stan Toczek discouraged by the lack of student representation at first Representative Assembly meeting last Tuesday. (Photo by Hough) _ by JACK FURNISS The first meeting of the newly-formed Representative Assembly was held last Tuesday, March 23, in the Multipurpose Room of the Union at 3:30 p.m. The highlight of the meeting ironically turned out to be a lengthy discussion on whether or not smoking should be permitted during the course of the meetings. The major event occurred when chairperson , William Acierno, received a motion from Michael Gaynor, a representative of the Psychology Department to ban smoking during further meetings of the assembly. The motion was voted on by those present and the restriction was put into effect. The matter was reopened when Robert Ross, of the Economics Department , suggested that a study be done to determine whether the smoking members could perform effectively without the privilege. For his active interest Mr. Ross was appointed chairperson of a special committee to investigate smoking. His report is due at the next meeting scheduled for April 13 at 3:30 p.m., in Carver Hall Auditorium . The meeting opened with greetings given by representatives of the various constituencies. Among them was President James McCormick who spoke of the importance of collegiality. McCormick stated, "The Representative Assembly provides a vehicle for the collegial approach." Stan Toczek, CGA president, also welcomed the new organization asserting, "Even though students are not proportionately represented, they are in favor of the assembly." Jerrold Griff is, Vice President of Student Life, then gave his report concerning nominations and elections. He said that those who wished to make a nomination had to have beforehand consulted their prospective nominee. This caused a discrepancy among the students because they were unaware of the ruling and therefore were not permitted to engage in the election process. Chairperson Acierno, after being approached by students at a later date with complaints, allegedly nullified the results of the election and scheduled another to be held at the next meeting. Dayton Pickett , Vice President of Academic Affairs, addressed the assembly 'on behalf of the rules and procedures committee. He explained how many are only holding interim appointments and that the only bonafide members are those elected as representatives of the constituencies and those appointed as a result of their professional standing at the college. Student members have been elected only for the remainder of the year with elections taking place again in September and once each year thereafter. The meeting was concluded with a discussion of meeting places and times; On Tuesday April 13 at the next meeting a vote will be taken on whether the meetings should be held in the Mul tipurpose Room or Carver Hall ( the historic meeting place at BSC) . The third and last meeting for the schoolterm will take place May 4 at 3:30, at whichever site is agreed on at the next meeting. by JOE SYLVESTER "It's too early to guess who will be the presidential nominee for the Democratic party. It's like trying to call a basketball game after the first five minutes". That is how Senator George McGovern (S-S.D.) described the democratic presidential campaign at a press conference held previous to his speech on Thursday night in Haas. The conference, held in the Green Room of Haas auditorium, centered primarily around the campaign and politics in general. On the campaign, Senator McGovern , in responding to questions from reporters , stated first of all that he is not a candidate for president. Rep. Morris Udall (D-Arizona) is the candidate he supports because Udall's views are closest to his. Seantor McGovern went on to say both parties are "in trouble with the electorate" and as far as the Democrats are concerned , "many candidates make it difficult to make a united stand". When asked if he would ever run again , McGovern disclosed that he wouldn't rule out running again ; it depends partly on what happens in '76. The Senator was then asked if he would want to be VicePresident. He remarked that he would rather be a senator because he wants to "say what he thinks without clearing it with anyone." However if it made the difference between winning and losing, he would. In answering questions on the economy, Senator McGovern indicated that it is improving but not at an adequate pace. He added that President Ford is illadvised and that his "trickle down theory" doesn't work very well. . Seantor McGovern, in answering questions about politics in general, stated : that the United States was never designated as the policeman of the world - we selfappointed ourselves to this position. that , it's a cheap shot for candidates to imply they're against the government. that politics isn't anymore as hazardous in losing moral standards than any other field. that we must follow a more or less even handed approach in the Middle East that Scranton appointment to the U.N. was a good one and that it would be surprising if government people were involved in the JFK assassination but not if Oswald was involved in a conspiracy . —™nrara^ra Too early to tell McGovern talks politics by BILL TROXELL Senator George McGovern was the main attraction last Thursday as he delivered a speech to a capacity crowd in the Haas Auditorium. The well known Senator from South Dakota began by talking about the 1972 Presidential election. Other contents of his speech ranged from his political theories to the 1976 elections. "I was fully confident that the ideas we advanced in that campaign , as well as the procedures that we used, will one day be recognized favorably by the American people, " said McGovern when speaking about his campaign. He feels that although he lost in numbers, his campaign will be treated kindly by history because of his "grass roots, fully open campaign style". "We made some mistakes, no one regrets that more than I, and I take full responsibility for any tactical errors that were made. It is one thing to make some honest mistakes, but it is quite different to deceive the American people,,...we didn 't do that , and I'm very proud," proclaimed the Senator. He attempted to make the fact perfectly clear that his campaign was 100 percent honest as compared to Mr. Nixon's. McGovern spoke on how he feels political campaigns should be run . "The political campaign should be built on the hands and the hearts and the dollars of ordinary, rank and file Americans," said McGovern when airing his thoughts for campaign support. He believes that the campaign for President should be run by ordinary people from the financial aspect to the platform designing. One of his major points was honesty. He insisted that openness and honesty should be the most important factor in a campaign. Secondly, McGovern spoke on his belief in peace rather than militarism. "I would have never run for the Presidency if it had not been for my revulsion against the war in Indochina." He declosed that the war was the most unfortunate chapter in American Foreign policy. He considered it to be his campaign which pressured the government and Mr. Nixon into ending the war. McGovern pointed out that the foreign policy of Mr. Nixon was irrational. The Senator also spoke on economic justice with regard to tax reform. He felt that he took a chance during his campaign by speaking of tax reform , but he still feels that it is necessary to treat the American public fairly. With this, the subject changed to the present political scene. McGovern claimed 'that everyone seems to want to attack the American government with its bureaucries. "For 23 years I have loved the practice of politics ,", said McGovern. He stated that he likes the system and to work within it. He cited that it is necessary even though sometimes it can create problems. The Senator spoke of how George Wallace and Ronald Reagan seem to be campaigning with the impression of "anti-politics", "if they don't like it, let them resign from politics altogether , " empha sized McGovern. The Senator then spoke on President Ford. He said, "I like Mr. Ford, I have worked with him in congress for quite a few years, but I'm puzzled at the constant onslaught of the President against the Congress of the United States." He held that President Ford has over used his vetd power. The Senator gave example to this by referring to a bill that Ford vetoed because he thought it was inflationary. The bill was for Health care, and would have cost 250 million. The same week the President signed a bill to increase the military budget by 10 billion dollars. McGovern feels that the budget should not be based on the overall total cost, but to how this money is allocated. He would like to see the budget shifted from the military area to the human need area . After the speech, a short question and answer period was held. McGovern was asked who he will support in the 1976 campaign. He did not voice a definite answer but he said that he will go with either Udall or Church. He believes that Jimmy Carter is a nice guy and a very honest person , but he doesn't seem to want to tell the public what his actions will be on many of the important topics. McGovern feels that this is very important. He also believes that Udall and Church have the same political theory as him. The large crowd seemed to have enjoyed McGoverns somewhat humorous speech and gave him a good applause with a standing ovation. ROOM LOTTERY The room selection lottery for eligible resident students desiring residence hall accommodations for the 1976-77 academic year will be held on Tuesday, April 6, between 10 am and 7 pm in Columbia Hall (fo r women) and Elwell Hall (fo r men). Each eligible student wishing to participate in the room selection lottery and his her 1976-77 roommate should plan to attend the lottery together, bringing with them their residence hall contracts, w hich should be completed in ful l and stamped by the Business Office. Interested students should consult the room selection Instruction sheet for details. Ext ra copies of these Instructions are availabl e in the Housing Office, room 14, Ben Franklin Building. If there are any questions, ' they should be directed to John Abell, Director of Housing. A ft ""fflfl^n l'^M ^¦ Let's not blow it Student as token At long last, the students at this college have some type of legal service available to them for no charge. Last Tuesday night was the first in a series of four week sessions in which students can meet with a lawyer for legal advice. Tom James , not of the Shondells as many may have thought, but a lawyer in a firm downtown was on the campus for three hours consulting with several students on problems germain to their specific interest. Although only eight or ten students showed up at the general session conducted by James , and eight students consulted with him privately the range of problems and areas of interest proved to be of a wide variety. Housing seems to be the major area of legal interest to students, however this was not the only item with which the lawyer dealt or can deal. Criminal law , tax law , residency requirements and patent law were also problems which appeared. The most cliche phrase in the world concerning college campuses is "student apathy" . What is the actual basis for this supposed apathy? Simply, it is the knowledge that if a student does become involved in some committee or other it will be a token position and will add up to wasted time. This is unfortunatel y true and students are notably reluctant to sign up for committees through C.G.A. So, what of student representation? If C.G.A. President Stan Toczek does not personally heed the call for student input on committees , then there usuall y is none at all. Toczek related, "I attend many meetings each week in which faculty, administration and non-instructional personnel are present. I sometimes evaluate my input into committee discussions and often find that I am just filling a vacant seat. There are 5 ,000 students on this campus and only 30O faculty and many meetings are lopsided because there are more faculty members than students present. I feel students should have proportionate representation as faculty , administration and non-instructional personnel. " This observation piognarmy indicates the reason for student apathy —student input at best is tokenism. A new organization was born last week which has been named (or, more accurately, misnomered) The Represent'United ative Assembly. This is ideally comparable to the is " in supposedly that each faction of the campus Nations represented to air their views on various matters. (See news story on page one) Great ! We direly need this; but the students are -substantially outnumbered by the faculty and administrative factions. In order to truly represent the college community , the students should be represented proportionall y in terms of the rest of the Assembly. The saddest part of all this is that the students presently involved in the Representative Assembly will become disillusioned by their miniscule voice. And the Assembly will be just another activity to go down on their college records as "involved students ". Barb Wanchisen It is important to understand that the lawyer can deal with many problems, not only those where students feel they are facing impending doom. Even if you feel like you might have a problem where legal consequences might be involved but you're not sure you could come and talk to Tom James. He's not just there for the purpose of seeing if you can sue somebody, or if somebody can sue you. Many students have been very blatent in emphasizing the need for a lawyer , either fulltime or on retainer. Here is a chance to show your interest. One almost gets sick of belaboring the point, but it is so important, for all of use, that to let an opportunity such as the one CGA is providing right now slide by is almost unthinkable. This series of advisory meetings with James is the means by which CGA is going to ascertain the need for a lawyer. The only way we're going .to get a lawyer is if we step right up and let CGA and the administration know our ap- Mike 's Hat b* L*n»y Blaz lck Masque:A nice surprise mediately grabs your attention .

One of their primary platform proposals was to hire a full-time lawyer for students, so there must be more than ten students here that feel we need a lawyer. If only a few people come to these sessions with James, the whole idea of a lawyer will fall by the wayside and be buried under a mass of less important items. SVU made the proposal, we elected them , so it should f ollow that we must hold them to their platform. The sessions with James are currently being held in an office on the second floor of Kehr Union next to the Campus Voice office. They run 15 minutes a piece, for private consultation from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday nights, and only two three hour meetings remain. This will probably be the last chance students have to even come close to getting a lawyer. Let's not blow it! the album.

File your application By JACK FURNISS Applications for the PHEAA State Grant should be in before May 1, 1976. The Parents Confidential Statement (PCS ) must be prepared in order to be considered for financial aid. The BEOG Federal Grant applications have to be submitted immediately. The Financial Aid Office is wai ting for reports from Washington and Harrisburg as to how much the PHEAA and BEOG grants will amount to for the upcoming academic year. According to Robert Duncan, Director of Financial Aid , PHEAA scholarships have aided 1633 students totaling almost $700,000. The BEOG grants helped another 722 students for nearly $600,000. Mr. Duncan added that financial aid here at BSC for the 75-76 school year is approaching a total of 3.5 million . Starting next year the BEOG will be available to every college student having need.

I am only concerned with the part Financial Aid plays in making ou., pay cards for those employed on campus and paid by the state. It . is quite frustrating to apply for your pay card and find that after 2 weeks it still has hot been sent to you or your employer. It seems the person or persons involved in doing the pay cards likes to wait until there are many cards to do. Now it takes 3 or 4 weeks to be paid once your card is sent so every day counts. In my own personal experience I have been forced to wait long periods of time, much longer than needed m receiving my pay card. If a person is working it is common sense that, they need the money. The Financial Aid Office hinders payment of individuals by not getting their pay cards out to them in a reasonable amount of time. I ask you, is it too much trouble for the persons ,involved in pay cards to do them more often? I feel the people being forced to wait are being ripped-off. I personally need the money I work for and find it most annoying to wait added weeks to receive it because some people are not doing their jobs correctly. I hope this letter will open the tyes of certain office personnel. Thank you. Frustrated and Broke To the Editor: When our Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment to the Constitution : "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" they were trying* by keeping government neutral between religious sects, to save us from the religious civil wars which tore England and Ireland r (and most of Europe), apart in the 1600's, and which are tearing Northern Ireland, Lebanon, Pakistan, and other countries apart today. On the other hand, there were no massive public school systems or taxpayer supported colleges in 1791, as there are today, when citizens of very deep religious convictions, such as Fundamentalists, Catholics, Orthodox Jews, etc., find that the "free exercise" of their own religions , (in which God demands a very extensive, and, therefore, expensive, religious education of their own children) , is effectively "prohibited", because the high taxes needed to finance the public schools and colleges don't leave them with enough money, (economic freedom), to support their own ' schools, required by~ their religions. I am sure that if Jefferson , (who was also the founder of public education in America), were alive today and could see what a monstrous, multi-billion dollar failure the public school and college system is, in getting children to be able to read, (even comic books , or to write intelligibly, or to calculate, or reason logically, or to develop any moral values, he would be the severest critic of his brainchild , and he would be proposing an alternative to make it possible for all parents, (not just the deeply religious ones), who want their children to enjoy learning, to have the freedom , (money) , to set up their own private, (accredited), academies, by doing away with the biggest example of Socialism.in this Country; the failure-ridden, strike-ridden, government . owned and operated schools and colleges. (We have as high a percent of Socialism as the British because we have a much higher percent of our population working for the Government in Education.) Over 25 years ago, Milton (Goldwater 's Friedman , Economic Advisor), came up with what I am convinced would be Jefferson's solution to the 4 problems of how to continue to offer educational opportunity for everyone and still raise the quality of that education ; and how to keep government out of religion without causing the death of certain religions. That Friedman-Jefferson solution, of course, is called the "Voucher System," or "GI Bill for Everyone," under which government owned and operated schools and colleges, supported by State and local taxes would be done away with, along with all State and local taxes for education. Instead of paying local, regressive, school taxes on real estate, and paying regressive State sales taxes to finance education , parents would pay, (probably a lesser; total amount), in progressive income taxes to the Federal. Government, and, then, receive; back, from the IRS, a "voucher," (an Education Stamp, like a Food Stamp) , worth around $2,000-year for parents with an average income of $12,000, ($3,000 if family income is less than $6,000-year; only $1,000 if income $20,000year and up) , for each school and college aged child listed on their Income Tax return. The Fundamentalist, Catholic, or Jewish parent, who believes his child should have a religious education, would men have the economic freedom, (money), to pay tuition to a religious school, just , as the Veteran has the freedom to spend his GI Bill "voucher" on a religious college, if he wants to. I would welcome an opportunity to debate the many other merits of this system over the public school and college system; particularly before groups of public school teachers. I f e e l so strongly about the need for the Voucher system that I am willing to antagonize the large number of local opinion makers employed by the public schools and colleges, and, thereby, possibly destroy what little chance T may have had for election as Representative.

(Photo by Paglialunga) Thoughts f o r Lent "Something of value " by JAY ROCHELLE In Lent I often think of Nietzsche. Probably seems a bizarre combination but it's true. I think of Nietzsche's brilliance, a candle burning too quickly, and I think of his madness at the end. I think of Nietzsche, I think of me,.and I reflect on meaning. One searches in this bastion of higher education, possibly, for linchpins: those concepts and dreams and ideas which hold the whole of life together. None appears. Strange juxtapositions occur: in the midst of this academic enterprise with its supposed premium on thought and reflection, religions florish which are based on fear, antiintellectualism, and a search for nailed-down security. How does one hold these two enterprises together? What meaning does one shed upon the other? Nietzsche is a model for what life has become in many ways; he himself said it: "My time is not yet ; only the day after tomorrow belongs to me" (ECCE HOMO, p. 55;. Nietzsche apparently crumbled under two pressures : on one hand he never received' the support his wild 'genius needed to continue flourishing and was forced to support his own ego, which led to dissipation ; on the other hand, he moved so far outside the symbols of his day that most folk could not identify with his visions. In short , nobody knew .what the hell he was talking about . If any of this rings any bells among thoughtful , serious students of BSC, it might be because the day after tomorrow has come. There is very little way left to communicate mystery. The boundaries for this and most other colleges have to do with what can be measured , manipulated , mastered, and monitored by the human mind. We've been seduced by this viewpoint to the place where it appears that's all there is. But threats to this rationalistic boredom pop up: TM , astrology, perhaps drugs — all ways to enter a level of mystery beyond the calculable. All threatenbing to a lot of people who like the system the way it is. Nietzsche was beyond that constricted circle of reasoning. So, tod, were Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, Staretz Silouan , George Fox, to name a few. Nietzsche differs from these in one respect: he rejected the symbols they lived with and never found another way of adequately . expressing the scream and the laugh at the bottom of his soul. So in Lent I often think of Nietzsche and me, and wonder how (again ) to keep on reinvesting those old symbols I take as the base of my existence with the meaning that makes sense in this environment, But just to add the twist of lemon to this otherwise already dry toast , let me remind that the difference is this : when Nietzsche spoke, when he went outside the Christian models to express himself no one understood him. Today when one goes inside the Christian models, you run the risk of being considered the same kind of lunatic that Nietzsche wound up. i Skoal! To mystery, not just imastery.

Cianfrani , DPhiladelphia, is holding public hearings into Gov. Shapp 's proposed $5 billion general fund budget. The committee noted the governor's proposed $169.4 million budget for the 13 state colleges and Indiana University is double the figure of five years ago. The mood in the legislature is to constrain Shapp and his department spenders , considering this is an election year. "I want to set the tone right. There's some needless spending going on here," said Cianfrani, as the committee sat down t to question Education Secretary John C. Pittenger. Senate President protempore Martin L.

Carolina soap & candlemakers students show that they just don 't appreciate, the cheap education we are giving them ." Senator Edwin C. Holl asked, "Do the state colleges make any effort to acquaint the student with the total cost of his education?" Current tuition at the schools is $800 a year, while room and board costs nearly double that figure. Secretary Pittenger said the $800 tuition covers only 40 per cent of the full cost of educating a student.

On Saturday the team travels to Shippensburg for an interconference battle beginning at 1 p.m. Last Sunday the team swept a doubleheader from Luzerne County Community College. On the mound in the first game Jim Perry, Joe Turri and Brent Bankus combined for a 7-6 victory. Craig Mensinger , Greg Oswald, Mike Broda , Bob Stackhouse, and fresh man Bill Pennesi each contributed two hits. Also, Gerry Jakubos made a spectacular diving catch in right field to thwart an early Lycoming rally . In the second game Richard White, Tom Sucher, and Bruce Wilson shutout the Minutemen 3-0 as Pat Predinger led the balanced hitting attack with two hits. The Huskies, coached by Clark Boler, will play 28 games this season. Last year the squad was 5-5 in the Eastern Division of the Pennsylvania Conference where they finished in a second place tie. Although the team has been hindered by bad . weather, particularly over Spring Break, they appear to be ready. Unfortunately, since a number of teams on their present schedule have traveled South over vacation , they are at a slight disadvantage this early in the season. Bob Stackhouse and Greg Oswald ( co-captains) will probably start at third and shortstop, while consistant Craig Mensinger and Pat Predinger are fighting it out for second base. At first are heavy hitters Tom Fulton and Scott Vercoe. Rounding out the infield are Charlie DeRenzis and Dick Rodgers . Tim Long, Bill Hessling, Don O'Connor, Dave Scanlon and Joe McDonald are on reserve. In the outfield Gerald Jakubos, surprise fresh man Bill Pennesi and Mike Broda are in contention with Ed Hess, Brent Bankus and Jeff Bildstein. On reserve are Norm Eckley, John Eichenlaub , Dave Divigelli, Tom George and Dan Gordon. A tough battle is being staged between Sam Crivellaro and Dave Hower for the catching job. Both have been pounding the bal l and playing solid defense. Tim Morris and Rick Duffy are on call along with Dan Keating and Scott Cox. Taking the mound are fireballers Bob Gibson, Joe Jacobs, Bob Crimian , and Jim Perry, Andy Hergan , Bruce Wilson, Joe Turri, and after a year layoff Richafd White is back. Plus, new editions southpaw Rick Budweg and Al Spradel.Greg Fair and Ed Whitehall wind up the list. Bob Crimian was incorrectly stated as a senior last week.

Coach Puhl feels that spring drills can be looked at in two ways: On the positive side, it e_bles the coaches to instruct his team on methods and techniques that will be used in the next season, it helps the team build morale by working together and getting to know each other, and it gives the coaches an opportunity to sort out the material available for the jobs available. On the other hand , some schools misuse their players as they tie them up for a full year. The players can suffer academically and suffer unnecessary injuries. It also gives the school extra costs. Coach Puhl would like to have held spring drills even though he Is tied up with track this semester. He feels that the team has a great amount of teaching to go through. The practice would also give Coach Puhl a chance to install his defensive offensive and systems. Coach Puhl is hoping that the football players will keep themselves up In their academic standards so that the team doesn 't lose anyone of academic because deficiencies. Coach Puhl expects that during the spring and summer the ball players will be disciplined athletes, they will maintain weights and increase their physical strength and also keep ,up their running. The hall players should be athletically sound and academically sound so that when the fall season roles around they are ready to go. Coach Puhl plans to do all that is humanly possible to accomplish what is necessary for meeting competition. Coach Puhl feels that, "A prime objective for any coach is to be honest and fair with his players". He is certain that the players will be fair with him on their increases in physical strength and therefore its his responsibjlity to make r*»-tein that the positionsare filled with the application of fair competition. He hopes to hold an open camp before the opening of fall camp. Coach Puhl feels that dignity, integrity and pride play a great part in winning attitudes. Win , lose or draw, if the team puts forth total effort , they will have played well and you can build momentum on that kind of effort. He feels that pride runs deep at BSC, from the college staff to the faculty, to the administration and to Dr. McCormick. He has seen quite a few players working out on their own but not enough to get the job at hand done. He feels that the men on the athletic teams do things if they want to and when they go about it with a positive attitude, they do a superb job. Coach Puhl is still looking tor people to help with statistics and team managers. He hopes he can start turning the football program around. This past weekend, the Husky track team visited the campus of Delaware State College for the DSC Relays that BSC was invited to attend . The trip was not as prosperous as the team hoped it would be. The only winner from Bloomsburg was Tony Montouth in the triple jump leaping to an incredible 49'M>" thus beating his teammate Larry Dietrich , who jumped 48'8V2" while getting the second place spot . Other members "of the team that placed are: Fred Koetteritz in the Pole Vault, 4th, (12'6"); Jeff Carruthers, 2nd, (6'6") and Mike Kieper, tied for 3rd (6'4") both in the high jump; Mark ¦ ¦ ^ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ^ ¦ ¦¦¦ ^ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦^ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ^ ¦ ¦ ¦[• ¦¦ Bond, 3rd, 3200 Meter Run ; Howie Pillot, 3rd, 1600 Meter Run ; Gary Lausch, 4th, Steeple Chase; Two Mile Relay, 3rd, (Lonoconus , O'Brien , Patterson, Johnson) ; finally the Four Mile Relay, 3rd, (^inters teen , Eachus, Kantner , Brandt). These people plus others that didn't place but beat other BSC teammates established new records that will go down in the books recorded metrically. Even though it seems that BSC did alright in competition in Delaware, for the most part, mistakes were quite abundant. Most of these mistakes were technical errors that could be NFL film highlights A sports film festival sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) at BSC will be held in the Multipurpose room of the Kehr Union on Thursday, April 1, 1976 from 7:00 to 10:00 p .m.y The program 'will feature David Marcom , Director of Public Relations for National Football League Films.

Handoffs in the 400 and 800 meter relays did not turn out to what they were during the practice sessions this past week and this left the coach feeling rather miserable about the whole situation there. This weekend the team has the option of either going to a meet at Lehigh University with teams such as Yale, Temple, Trenton State and East Stroudsburg or go to a meet at Kutztown. With the way the team looks, it would seem better to get a moral victory, as well as point victory than to go and get stomped at a large meet with only a few individuals scoring points. The best solution would be to send the few fast individuals to Lehigh and let the rest of the team wipe up Kutztown.

By Tim O'Leary As the tennis team gets under way in the regular season , many fans see the experienced squad as one of the best that Bloomsburg has fielded in a long time. Under the direction of Coach Bert Reese the team has been conditioning themselves both physically and mentally for the season since early February . With no serious injuries to mar the performance of the squad there are strong possibilities for a championship season in Bloomsburg. The team travelled south over spring break for a preview of the competition they would face this season. The Huskies played six pre-season matches with different schools including N a v y , - Hampton-Sydney, Hampton Academy and North Carolina State. This was the first time that Bloomsburg has ever sent a team to compete in matches down south, especially in the preseason. Coach Reese later commented ; "The matches really helped us prepare ourselves. It gave the team a look at it's strong points and the competition showed us what we needed to work on." After last year 's disappointing season Coach Reese and the entire tennis team is looking forwar d to a good showing this spring. > So far this year everything is running according to schedule and the team is ready for the competition they face. Probably the toughest opponent the Huskies will meet this year will « As for the rest of the team 's schedule, the team appear s very confident in their ability. The goal set for the team this season is the State Championship, and their chances of winning it are very strong. Another goal set by the team would be only one loss in dual meet competition. That would mean that throughout the entire season Bloomsburg would allow themselves only one let down on their way to the championsh ips. Providing these goals are the players, who after many long weeks of practice are ready for the season. In the top three spots for the team are Drew Hostetter, Phil Christman and Bob Rosics, all seniors. Filling out the remainder of the top six seats are Jim Hollister, Jim Overbaugh and Mike Pitchola , respectively. The future of the team rests mainly on sophomore Dave Hamilton and freshman Pete Bowman , along with Mike Lanz, Bob Walp and John Olegnecker. The competition Bloomsburg faces includes Penn State, East Millersville, Stroudsburg, Haverford and Temple (wh o they just met with last Sunday) . With the strength and enthusiasm the team shows 1976 has the makings of an excellent tennis season at Bloomsburg. f>> <\6°^ lA.fr P -ec .^ 6 V^ V* t^ ¦ CAMPUS j VOICE H [ IS | I¦ I I " . I -i" J.
