Reasons for voting down the proposal were with reference to the parking problem on campus and the recurrent steamline troubles. CGA, however, chose to continue student support of the Beautification Projects by agreeing to let the student money ride in the Beautification Fund while the various alternatives to the proposal are discussed. In other busibess, the council passed a motion to send two members of the senior class to the Second annual Citadel National Student Conference. This year 's conference will be held in South Carolina and will concentrate on the theme of political violence. A list of possible names is to be presented to President McCormick by Tom Mulhern, CGA president. McCormick will then select from that list, two choices, pending approval by CGA. The trip will be in the form of an award to the two seniors selected who display qualities that merit recognition. General council members were informed that Randi Matson and Pierce Atwater are planning to attend the Pennsylvania Student Lobby at Penn State, tentatively scheduled for .December 10 and 11. The conference of student leaders is attempting to get a statewide lobby in addition to CAS, drawing support from private institutions across the state, as well as the state/ supported schools. CGA congratulates Town Secretary, Jerry Depoe, for his efforts in connection with the overpass question. Town Council is behind the students in their concern and is willing to help with some short-range programs to alleviate at least part of the danger. These interim projects include : A painted crosswalk, State Police crackdown on speeding, (enforced with radar) , and a proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Penn Street and Lightstreet Road. The Overpass Committee is sending out bids to local engineering firms to conduct a feasibility study, deemed necessary by the Planning Commission. The Commission Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) cheeks will bo available until December 15, 1976. Chocks may be picked up at the Business Office, Waller Administration Building.

Are your plumbing, electrical or structural facilities faulty? And is your landlord charging you an outrageous rent for thesetypes of conditions? Well , there may be some relief in the offing if a new occupan cy permit ordinance now before the planning commission is passed by the town council. "The new occupancy permit ordinance would require landlords owning certain types of dwelling units to apply for occupancy permits once a year and would require annual inspections that would check for plumbing, electrical and fire-prevention code violations," stated Mr. Gerald Depo, Bloomsburg Town Secretary. "Right now the town doesn't have an annual required occupancy permit. The town has an ordinance which deal with the number of people who live in a dwelling unit. You have to have so man y square feet per occup ant. Of course if we would strictly enforce this ordinance then possibly a fair number of people might have to look for housing elsewhere. We don't have enough dwellings to enforce the square foot requirement." Depo said that other codes deal with electrical, plumbing and fire-prevention. "In essence what we have presently is everything except the annual inspection and the yearly occupancy permit. What we would mainly look for in these inspections is proper electrical , plumbing, fire-prevention and property maintenance." Depo defines a dwelling unit as a whole house or apartment arid they would have to come up to par in the annual inspection. Right now the annual inspections are at the discretion of the town council. "Lan dlords look at thisnew ordinance negatively," stated Depo "Hook at it positively.They will have to keep their dwellings up to liveable standards which will enhance the value of the dwelling arid the property and it will add to the appearance of the neighborhoods. A smart landlord will continue to put money into his dwelling so that he won'thave to pay rising upkeep costs." "Some isolated areas in Bloomsburg that are run down are in this condition becausethe landlords have not seen fit to keep up their dwellings. The proposed ordinance would help correct the situation." Depo said right now the responsibility for seeing that their property is properly maintained is with the landlord. The proposed ordinance would 'mate the;.Iandlord even more responsible by haying to get an annual occupan cypermitand the landlord would have to assume more responsibilityto see that their dwelling is able to pass the annualinspection. "I think when students rent from landlords they should read over their leases very carefully and check for unreasonable provisions in them. If the leaseis a good one then both tenant and landlord should live up to their side of the lease, " said Depo. Depo finished by saying, "I think the proposed ordinance would go a lon g way in solving some of the housing problemsprovided the annual inspections are made. I'm in favor of this ordinance." CAD hires students to promote awareness by LENORE FIRSCHING Three students have been hired by the Center for Academic Development to assist in functions of the counseling center . These students are Anthony Montouth, a junior , and Eluid (Leo) Rodriguez and Geneva Smith, sophomores* stated Ms. Joan Brown of the Counseling Center. CAD USES ACT 101 FUNDS According to Brown, the CAD, which disperses funds of Act 101 (The Higher Education Opportunity Act), has hired these students as program assistants in hopes of promoting better understanding and awareness of the CAD program and as a sort of liaison between CAD, the students, and the faculty . Brown said that by choosing these students, the center hopes to eliminate misconceptions that CAD students have it easier than other students and don 't have to work for their education; though many minority-group students enter BSC through this program, it is not primarily intended as a minority program (at least 25 recruits for the summer will be white). Also, Brown feels that the hiring of these students will help to enlighten awareness and break down stigmas or differences in expectations of the abilities of CAD STUDENTS AND STUDENT FUNCTIONS "Montouth, Rodriguez and Smith, all CAD students, will perform peer counseling functions, make referrals, and help in counseling incoming Act 101 students," said Brown. "She went on to say as part of their training they were given lists of hypothetical students and asked to discuss whether or not they would accept these students; if so, they determined what other academic, emotional, or survival needs they may have and what supportive services these students may need." The CAD accepts students with educational and academic disadvantages ; these students take developmental courses in their areas of deficiency (such as reading or writing) during the summer. These courses are taught by CAD. Some students finish this course and go on for three more weeks of regular credit courses; others who are not ready go home after six, weeks and return in the fall , explained Brown. TUTORIAL SERVICES Tutorial services are also available not only to CAD students but to regular students as well, such as chapter outlines in General Biology or help in Introductory Psychology, said Brown. Brown hopes that by hiring the program assistants, pride will be established in the CAD program for both CAD students and also in BSC as a whole. The program will also serve as a means by which students become a part of the counseling center. 'Hopefully, there will no longer be a cause for hesitancy in being a CAD Act 101 student, according to Brown.

I don't usually do movie reviews in my column, or anywhere for that matter, and I promise this will be my last one, unless of course someone in a high position recognizes my great talent and demands that I write another one. Over the weekend I saw the movie "Carrie" which is taken from Stephen King 's book by the same name. It is about a girl with the power to move things with her mind, or telekinesis as it is called, who had a mother who was a religious fanatic and high school peers who constantly abused her. It is a very feasible situation and the plot is simple enough. At times4 though, it reminds me of a disaster flick such as "The Towering Inferno" or "The Poseidon Adventure" for when Carrie 's classmates finally push her too far . disaster The sticky subject of campus beautification was, once again the major topic of discussion at the CGA meeting last Monday night. After nearly a half hour of pertinent discussion, the council decided to quash the bid for the construction of a recreation area between Navy and Ben Franklin, but also decided to leave the , $23,700, which the beautification committee now has under its auspices, to use for cheaper construction of that area. The } 23,700 is what the beautif ication committee has left from the $30,000, which was allocated to the project last year. Or the surface, using this money to construct a recreational area for students doesn't sound like a bad idea. However, at least for college council, their decision doesn't seem to make much sense. After they cut the proposal to build the area to shreds and defeated it, they turn ed right around and left the money to go to the campus beautification committee. Most of the members expressed a desire for needed recreational area for the students. This is indeed admirable, but CGA has a recreation committee. If they want recreation so badly, why don't they give the money to that committee, rather than to a group outside of CGA? This is CGA's and the students' money. CGA should be spending it. Some progress has been made on the total beautification project, but as for the $30,000 in student money, some of it has been used only for architecture plans. Last year, several administrative proponentsof the beautificationproject told students that $30,000would cover four projects. Now we fin d out that it will barely cover one, which is the recreational area. Again, if the students want this so badly, then CGA should take the responsibility of constructing the area, not the campus beautification committee. by DUANE LONG Orrin related the cause of his people's decline to us. For a long time we sat listening to the mournful account. When it was finished we came to know two things : that Akleos was inhabited by a society which became too practical, and that the Provider, that glistening crystal pyramid, had transported us here. "When it was learned that pur sun was dying, the Provider was constructed to revitalize it. My people chose to retain Akleos rather than flee to other worlds. You must realize that mine was a determined race. There was virtually no problem which they could not solve, and their, solutions were almost always permanent. Our leaders made that possible." u But How?" Clyde Burke asked. "Using a form of genetic control which enabled the state to determine and modify the genetic makeup of an individual , ideal proportions of workers , doctors , scientists, and leaders were developed.

Carrie can take no more and the ,good time ends abruptly. Overall, the movie is not one of the scariest nor one of the greatest ever produced. There is more gore than scare, If you like blood, there's plenty of it in this movie. However, the ending makes your stay in the movie theater worthwhile. You won't easily forget it. If there 's a lesson to this fastmoving flick (which 1doubt) it's probably that we should tell our kids the facts of life or that we should not allow school kids to tease other school kids. Oh well, they tried. DUANE LONG Not to say that campus beautification wouldn't be a nicething to have, but why should $23,000,dollars be given to it. With the housing problems, it would seem that this money could go for a more reputable service than basketball and volleyball courts. Also, if feasible, this money could be used to improve the situation at Light Street Road. Funds for beautification should come from other sources, rather than having the bulk of them come from the students. With the $23,000 still in the hands of the beautification committee, none of theseother things will be easy to accomplish. It's very hard to understand why college council doesn't want to take this money back and spend it themselves.Then if they want recreation they can have it their way, which should be the students' way. They could also ascertain exactly how much they want to spend on recreation an 4 perhaps some would be left to improve what could be considered more important problems. i»::::::::%:S^^ results. Her mother never inform s Carrie on one of the facts of life probably because she doesn 't believe it is a fact at all but the result of the Sin of Adam and Eve. When Carrie menstruates for the first time in gym class and doesn't realize what is going on, her classmates jump on the opportunity to give her some first-rate abuse. However, one of the girls feels a bit guilty about the incident and persuades her boyfriend , a star athlete, to ask Carrie to the prom. This takes some coaxing on the boyfriend's part who really didn't want to do it anyway. Carrie at first believes she is being tricked but after her doubts are dispelled she consents and goes to the prom despite the pleas of her mother not to. i i i .. i Tha Camput Volca of fleet ara locotad on tha teeond floor of tha Kahr Union.

Economic and political stability soon followed since the population of wage earners was held constant under genetic and conditional career control. Perhaps pur society would be in existence today had the leaders of our planet stopped at that point." "They were not satisfied, however, at merely regulating the temperament of the individual. By instilling the seeds of purpose in a newly fertilized egg, they succeeded in making the individual a doctor , worker, or whatever, but they had not satisfied themselves that the inspirational control was enough. What good was a worker who possessed a superior intelligence? His mind might surpass the thinking of any of the state advisors, yet because his purpose was to build dwellings, his thoughts would be accessible. That keen mind would be devoted to other ways of constructing the dwellings, which would conflict with state practices, yielding conflict and frustration. In short , my , people 's leaders wanted to have full access to the thoughts of Aklean wise men." "In this latter regard the leaders used genetic control to ensure that no "working genius" would ever be possible. All those who possessed any capacity at all for intellectual thought were the members of the government , and their advisors. It was quite practical for the total intelligence of Aklcas to exist within the confinds of the council chamber, but somewhat stifling to creative thought among the people themselves. One could argue that this lack was penciled by the extreme brilliance of the advisors. Their minds were such that they could telepathically commune with our computers whenever they wished to consult with them." "The advisors provided the solutions to any.problems which were beyond the capacity of our leaders to solve. The death of our sun was just such a problem. SemO Alar , the greatest of the advisors devised a plan to restore the sun's waning energy. My people chose his way; a proposal which stated : "To ensure the survival of Akleos, I have developed a plan to bring life back to our sun. A device will be constructed that will draw antimatter from another dimension and combine it with the matter of our world. The energy which will result will benefit the future of Akleos, and correct the defect of the sun. There are other energies which it shall restore, but those are such that we will never live to sec. Our race 's future must be preserved. In this way it shall. " "The Provider is that device?" I asked. "Yes, Orrin replied. "I am one who was placed in suspended animation ; a mechanical sleep which has kept me frozen for nearly fifty thousand of your years. There are thousands of us frozen underground. We service the machinery to ensure that the provider will continue to function for an eternity. " "How could your people be destroyed by such a device?" Clark wondered. "They are both destroyed , and preserved. " Orrin explained. "The device absorbed matter from your dimension, and used it for fuel in an antimatter reactor . The energy was then beamed into the sun.

Pending a very long-term solution such as an "overpass", a pedestrian actuated stop-light couldhave been installed in one day, (the poles are already in place), to prevent other students from being killed or injured. Instead of our beloved Town Council taking some quick, effective , life-saving action such as installing a light,.the only action taken was such as to greatly increase the danger of death and injury to pedestrians. They ordered the painting of cross-walk lines diagonally across the road, doubling the time it takes a pedestrian to get across Lightstreet Rd. and aiming the pedestrian-right into the path of trucks and cars coming down the steep hill! Council is liable for damages if anyone is hurt while walking within cross walk lines. BSC students are so docile and obedient to authority, no matter how stupid and viciously negligent, (it was 5 years before they, half-heartedly, protested against the Vietnam War), they are unlikely to walk outside of the lines and, thereby, save their lives by "jaywalking" across the Road along the quickest, right angle, route.

Dr. Commoner, an accomplished speaker with many credits and honors, is widely known throughout scientific circles in the U.S. He travels widely talking to diverse groups of people about problems we have with the environment, priorities in energy, and the role of scientists and government. Commoner's lecture in Bloomsburg will be, "The Poverty of Power." He is a man who doesn 't hesitate to challenge special interest groups. He has earned the ire of labor, management, government, and even some of his own colleagues. His major concern is that of the economics of a clean environment and what such an environment will mean in terms of jobs and security. He has lashed out at the nuclear power program as being one of excessive expense for the power derived from it. COMMONER'S GOAL Commoner's goal is hot to create a new economic philosophy but to point out a powerful and worrisome trend — the making of economic decisions for the public by private: interests. He admits that he steps on a lot of toes when it comes to his analysis of the problems in the United States. The fertilizer , automobile and petroleum industries do not find his criticisms amusing. He admits to having biases ; he has disliked nuclear power from the early days of fall-out. Simon Ramo, vice-president of the huge TRW aerospace conglomerate has said of Dr. Commoner, "A lot of people are concerned about Barry Commoner because he writes so much and he's so articulate." Commoner says, "My heavy schedule of speaking and writing is 'part of my job.'"

There were 61 debate teams in attendance representing 23* colleges and universities. Returning to campus with a trophy for doing well at the tournament and earning a perfectrecord of three wins and no losses was the team of Karen Lysholdt and Bonita Thomas. The girls scored victories over two teams from the University of Maryland and a team from Elizabethtown College. Alsc returning with a trophy for doing well was the team of Dave Eberly and Marie Persiano. v On Friday, Workshop Session I, dealt with resources for this year 's debate topic. Twc research librarians from the University of Maryland conducted the session. Workshop Session II concerned the theory of debate and Workshop Session III covered the practice of debate. Dennis Langley, debate coach from Catholic University, was in charge of these two sessions. Workshop Session IV, held Saturday morning, was divided into ten groups. Visiting debate coaches discussed debate cases with the debaters during this session. Professor Harry C. Strine III, BSC Director of Forensics , who attended the tournament with the students, was selected to lead one of the group sessions. Saturday afternoon the debaters competed in three rounds of debate. Following the debates came Workshop Session V which involved post-round analysis and discussion. The awards were then presented at 6:45 p.m. The next debate tournament that the BSC debaters plan to attend will be hosted by Shepherd College, Shepherdstown , West Virginia on 1 January 14-15, 1977.

In this way a specific problem can be approached from, many routes and solutions are based on the input from many sources. It is from these studies that Commoner speaks to society in pointing out the pitfalls of governmental decisions that do not include the public in their considerations. Barry Commoner has a lot to say to the people in this region. His lecture will be challenging, enlightening, and perhaps a little controversial.

WaSSfiw Shatner plans trek revival by DUANE LONG William Shatner , star of stage, screen, and television spoke of future plans for an upcoming Star Trek movie at a recent presentation. The talk, which took place oh the King's College Campus on Saturday evening, November 6, included Shatner 's portrayal of several scenes dealing with science fiction themes. When asked about the arrangements for the forthcoming film, Shatner replied that Paramount Studios has yet to find a suitable script. As he put it: "It's all still pretty much up in the air as to whose script they 're going to rewrite:" Gene Roddenberry, the series ' original producer, will retain that capacity in the movie even though his script was not ac- cepted by_ Paramount. mow to TV once more. Shatner opened his hour and Of greatest concern to those present at the program was the fifteen-minute program by question of> whether the original performing a selection of actors would be cast in all their poetry, prose, and play excerpts former roles. Shatner explained of the. science fiction genre* H. that he had just returned from G, Wells, Cyrano de Bergerac, four months on location" "but as Bradbury, and Shakespeare all far as I know everyone is came alive through is inlooking forward to making the terpretive performance of their movie." The film is scheduled works. Although remembered to start shooting in the spring, notably for his role as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, Shatner is a around April or May. According to Shatner, a series trained Shakespearean actor. spin off seems likely only if the He is currently engaged in a screen version is moderately tour of forty two American successful.

An appeal to those who have not responded to their appeal letter, are asked to do so as soon as possible, to help finance programs for the coming year. Mrs. Gibbons states that this year the double-barjred cross rounds out seven decades as the official emblem of the fight for healthy lungs in the United States.

CEC is a campus club organized to work with all "special" children and their problems. . These "special" include the children " physically mentally retarded, disabled , or emotionally disturbed children. During the CEC meeting, activities were discussed for the remainder of the year. These activities include Christmas programs for the "special" children, juvenile delinquent projects, work with cub scouts, work "with Danville State Hospital, and the fundraiser for this year. The fundraiser decided upon was the "Penny-A-Pin" Bowl. Each bowler gets as many sponsors as possible who will pay him a penny for every point on his three-game average. This fundraiser will be held on December 4, 5, and 6, and is open to anyone who wishes to help. The money collected will be donated to United Fund, the Heart Fund , Muscular Dystrophy, SUNCOM; and Diabetic Association. tuberculosis, then America's number one killer. Today, the double-barred cross is a unifying mark for the affiliated associations across the~ country as they conduct the annual Christmas Seal campaign to raise funds for the prevention and control of lung diseases. Mrs. Gibbons said, "The double-barred cross is now the emblem of a modern-day crusade against emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma as well as the still present but vastly reduced threat of TB. In addition, it symbolizes the lung associations efforts to reduce the dangers , to the lungs from cigarette smoking and air pollution." Sometimes referred to as the "Cross of Lorraine", the double-barred cross of the Christmas Seals actually resembles more closely the Patriarchal Cross, also known as the Jerusalem Cross: "The red double-barred cross, in its earlier forms, a symbol of peace and brotherly understanding, is now a symbol of hope for those with lung disease and a call for help to protect the lungs of all people." Mrs. Gibbons said, "You can answer the call by answering your Christmas Seal letter...the one with the double-barred cross." VV ^BBB ^J""Jr**v.

Willard Bradley — I think that racial prejudice is something that we all are ignorant to. Racial prejudice exists, here at BSC because we all came here with our childhood indoctrination in which we are often not aware of. We deny or are reluctant to admit the fact that we are unaware of our specific assumptions about black people. However, I do feel that college is no better place for us to re-evaluate our assumptions about racism. J/J TjSeti Gallahue — I really naven 't viewed any racial prejudice here in so far as the social aspect exists. I don't know how the administration and educational values relate to the aspect of racial differences. . Joseph Scopelliti — From what I see on campus , there are no overt signs of racial prejudice. There may be misunderstandings in some instances, but this is inevitable, and they can and do occur between any and all people, regardless of race, status, age or sex. 214 EAST STREET - BLOOMSBURG v (^^^^It compiled by Wayne Palmer The lost day to withdraw from a course Is Wednesday, December 8 . Forms may be picked up ai the Registrar's Office. PANDEMONIUM TOO ROCK, JAZZ ALBUMS PhotoForum Cheryl Kitchens — Basically no. Due to the increase in minority groups on campus, more interaction is possible which can help minimize any prejudice that would be present out of ignorance. ¦ Bernadette Haas — No, I don't. At least not to the degree that it is on other campuses. I, personally, have never encountered it and if it is present, it is only with a minority of people. \ Bf Br sC&fCB ergorg I* ¦ I » ^*« ^* mM ¦ -OPIUM LETTUCE • JP^^r^pB^^^ " MAGAZINES fe Donna Axelrod — I haven't (noticed any racial prejudice, maybe because I haven't come in contact with it that much. Some people I've talked to seem to feel that, people do not like them because of their color. If you feel different from everyone, inferior, or if you yourself are prejudice d you probably notice it more and feel that people are against you. Prejudice is a state of mind. Chuck Mcachum -~ I haven 't seen or experienced any here. David Fox — Yes, I definitely feel that there is racial prejudice on and off campus. There is too much lack of understanding between the races. Before prejudice decreases fully (and it is on the way down) students are going to have to see from the perspective of the other person. Express boogies through Haas by STUART DUNBAR At 9:05 on November 20, the directionsfor the house lights to be turned down was give and the final sound check was made. The stage lights went on, and there stood the Stridors, a group consisting of seven males and one female. Dressed in various types of garb, ranging from TShirts to formal suits, and one dress, they began their show. As "Shakedown", a crowd getter song, began, a large curtaiii behind the drummer gradually dropped with STRIDERS written inside a giant foot. The female vocalist, Gail, wearing a dresswith a slit up to her hip, danced back and forth across the state. With a little break, they moved into "Love is Like a Lesson", a song featuring the fast brass playing of the group and good harmonizing of backround vocals The mood then changed, or so it seemed with a quiet organ beginning, then once again Gail, with the spotlight focusedon her danced back and forth across the stage as the lead male vocalist and she did a fast and good love song entitled, "You Are One", which sounded similar to something Average White Band would do. After a very short break they bagen "Loves a Mystery", once again featuring Gail and the lead male vocalist as they turned to each other and sang "Ooh lovely baby, your all I need". A song remsembling Bob Marley and The Whalers called "St. Thomas" a reggae song featured a short solo from each of the instruments. With a quiet red-orange setting, Gail did her version of "On Broadway", which was a bit slower than the original version, for which she received a big applause. A blue spotlight focused on the lead male vocalist who did a harmonica solo reaching ear piercing notes then was joined by the rest of the group to do "Everybody Do The Jungle Bump", with Gail running offstage into the aisles, then returning to the stage to finish the song and their well done act. At 9:25 an announcer for B.T. Express came onto the stage and welcomed everyone to the concert and said they were glad to be here. The seven male members of B.T. Express then came out clad in beautiful two-piece green suits with black, orange, green , yellow , and white stripes. A flashing sign hung above the group flashing B.T. Express.

Do it til your satisfied!" And Brooklyn Truckers Express did it last weekend. They played their old favori tes as well as songs from their later albums. The group of eight have been together for almost four and one-half years playing basically the same style as they started out with. Their next album being released in January is following the same pattern of disco. Bill Riserow, saxophone player and spokesman for the group, felt the small crowd of 450 was enthusiastic which, to the group, was more important than size. Several of the B.T. Express members are married and all of them now liye in Brooklyn and other parts of New York. When asked about the inconvenience " Call "Room Service (continued from page three) brigade. The rest of the story involves assortments of plots, which are schemes to get the play on the stage before the head of the hotel chain catches on to their secret, for they are actually living off of him and he doesn't know it. The other characters in the play are Christine-Diana Luhla, Hilda-Kimberly Powell, Gregory Wagner-Pat Healy, Sasha-Tom Pizont, The backer-Rick Burt, Collection Agent-Hank Burt, Hotel Doctor-Jim Pefflcy, Senator Blake-Mike Grasso, and the Bank messenger-Bill Cluley. All in all, theplay should prove to be very entertaining. The 1939 setting will make it a challenge for the actors, yet they are well rehearsed and ready for this weeks' performance.

With no break, and the introduction of the congos, B.T. did a disco song "Can't Stop the Groovin". "We don't want anybody to go anywhere, we just want your body to move", announced a member of the group and once again there was dancing in the aisles to "People Love To Dance", which contained a solo by all instrumentsand dancing of the group members. Another song featuring the brass was done entitled "Energy Level, Energy High", and a bit of old music "Give It What You Got", was also done. Slowing the pace, B.T. did "Close To You" with a quiet in the organ playing background, which to me came across better than when the Carpenters did it. Next came "Do It Till Your Satisfied", their ever popular song witr. Ritchie handling vocals and the crowd on their feet again. With a long sax solo and strobe flashing, B.T. did "I Like It No Matter What You Say", at the end of this song a twenty foot flame surprised many, and lead into "Here Comes The Express" with a train moving on the screen behind the band accompanied by a strobe and dancing. At the end of this song also occurred another flame, and after emphasizing partying, the group left the stage and did not return for an encore, tying, the group left the stage and did not return for an encore. B.T.
