The C o m m o n w e a l t h
Association
of Students
(C.A.S.), the statewide student
advocacy for the Pennsylvania
State Colleges and University,
will hold its second weekend
conference of 1977 during the
weekend April 1,2,3. The conference will be held in Kehr
Union on the Bloomsburg State
College campus.
At the Saturday noon luncheon at the Hotel McGee, guest
speaker Caryl Kline will give
the Keynote Address. Ms. Kline
is the Director of Continuing
Education Programs for
Women at the University of
Pittsburgh. She currently holds
a seat on the Pennsylvania
State College and University
Directors Board, and is a strong
candidate vieing for the
Secretary 's post- in the
Department of Education. The
present Secretary of Education
is Acting Secretary Robert L.
Hendershot.
Other guests include Pennsylvania Senator Franklin
Kury, Representatives Ted
Stuban and George 0. Wagner,
Democratic Chairman of
Columbia County Richard K.
Walton, Republican Chairman
Edward Hermanski, President
McCormicH of the College,
along with other college officials and the student trustees
around the state, An appearance by U. S. Congressman
Dan Flood is not definite, but
could occur.
A topic to be discussed at the
conference will surely include
discussion on the severe tuition
crisis the state college system
faces for the upcoming year.
Workshops taking place during
the conference include a
seminar of Student Consumerism from 3-4 pm. This
will bo conducted by Elaine ElKhawas from the American
Education ,
Council
of
D.C. ;
Dick
Washington
from
the
Dumeresque
Department of Education and
Cathy Downey, Chairperson of
the Board of Student Government Presidents,

According to Matt Connell,
vice-president fo CGA , the
Bloomsburg State Concert
Committee had tried to
reschedule Al Stewart since his
cancellation last February.
Unfortunately, Stewart plans to
appear on Saturday Night Live
and weekend the BSCC slated
their concert.
The rock group Heart was
considered, but dropped. Heart
broke off their, touring
engagements recently.
Renaissance was also thought
upon. However, Bucknell
University scheduled them
after an offer of $12,000. BSC
can only pay up to $10,000 for a
group.
Joel,, who - appeared at
Bucknell last December, had
his concert schedule for 1977
previously , made. The night
BSCC needed a group, however,
was open on Joel's schedule.
Therefore, he opted to perform
at BSC. A major benefit for the
college is that Joel reduced his
price from $10,000 to $8,500 for
the BSCC.
Ticket prices have also been
reduced for the concert. Tickets
will be $3 with a student ID card

and $4 without — a dollar less
than the usual concert ticket
cost.
There are two reasons for the
reduced prices, according to
Connell. BSCC has a subsidy
which will be used to pay the
dollar reduction. Also, the BSCC
reduced the rate in an effort to
make up the students for Al
Stewart's cancellation.
BSCC contacted Billy Joel
through Harris Goldberg, an
agent from Woodstock. A
written contract is being
prepared and should be^ signed
by Joel this week.
When asked if Joel's previous
concert at Bucknell would
hinder its success at BSC,
Connell thought not; rather, he
considers the students who saw
Joel at Bucknell an asset, since
most of them enjoyed the
concert and, by word of mouth,
told friends of the cbriceft.
Joel will be at Nelson Field
House on April 21 at 9 a.m. The
concert should be a sell-out,
according to Connell. However,
one hindrance still remains —'
Renaissance will be at Bucknell
the same evening. Decisions,
decisions.

A series of five bomb threats over a period of 15 days has
resulted in an extensive disruption of classes. To minimise fur*
ther interruptions in case of future threats the following
procedure has been adopted by the College Division of Safety and
vSecurity .
Any building involved in a bomb threat is to be evacuated at
least one half hour before the time mentioned in any threat.
Classes will be rescheduled whenever possible, and a revised
listing of rescheduled classes will be posted at ihe building entrances. The Security personnel will assist in providing
rescheduling information whenever possible.
"The students are the losers in this type of situation," Dr.
Frank Davis, assistant vice-president for administration commented. "Unless the class can be rescheduledon short notice, the
instructional period is lost. The work cannot be made up. When a
laboratory period is involved it is especially serious. Because of
the insensitivity and thoughtlessness of some studentor students,
more than 3,000 student hourshave already beenlost."
Davis said the major concern of the college in any bomb threat
situation is the safety of the students. He added that although
many believe the threats are merely pranks and that thereis no
real danger, the collegewill not take any chances.
Richard Neufer, director of safety and security, pointed out that
bomb threats are a violation of State law and that legal actionwill
be taken against anyone identified as being a party to such a
"terroristic action."
. He added, "The legal ramifications of what might be intended
as a prank are enormous."
The college urges anyone who might have information concerning the source of any of the threats to contact Chief Neufer at
the Security office, extension 2617, or Dr. Davis, Waller Administration Building, extension 2115.
All information will be handled with strictest confidence.

Siblingstake to the air via kites

by GENE W. WALTERS
Bloomsburg 's first annual
Kite Contest opened Saturday
afternoon at Redman Stadium.
Highlighting the activities were*
a skydiving demonstration , and
the flying of dozens of fancy
kites sailing in the ciisp spring
wind.
Dave Kellner, Craig Conway,
Neil Tomasetti and Larry Croll
jumped from 7,500 feet above
the stadium from a Cessna 180
aircraft. For a 30 second free
fall dive, the fowr accelerated
toward the ground at about 120
miles per-hour. The four men
landed in the pre-designated
area, adjacent to the baseball
field.
Kellner, team leader of the
"Rip Chords" skydiving club of
^northeastern Pennsylvania ,
called his free fall dive "dead
silence ... where you are alone

by yourself." He said "there is
always a risk when plunging
through the air at around 100
miles an hour." "

In 25 years of skydiving,
Kellner has made over 3,500
jumps, and his group jumps
regularly, usually meeting
every weekend.

USPA establish standards for
training, safety and equipment
necessary for anyone who
participates in skydiving.
Fabric, homemade, plastic
and commercial kites were
flown around the stadium area
and playing field . About 300
people were on hand to see the
skydiving and kite fliers.

Nearly two dozen prizes were
awarded by student judges to
the young and old competitors.
Some of the more unusual
awards went to: Susan Bernhart and Johnnie Garvey ,
youngest kite fliers; Bill Hess
and Gene Burns, oldest kite
fliers ; Brian Reidy, kite with
the longest tail; Laura Mc-

Corsh, nicest homemade box
M.
and , ' Karen
kite;
Neisenheimer and Mike
DeMarco for the most spastic
kite. Dave Bechtel, on hand
with a hang gliding demonstration said that he will be on
BSC, April 4 for enrolling people
who are interested in a hang
gliding course.

Jerry Fachet, public relations
man for the "Rip Chords " said
the group dives "just for fun. "
So far, the group has demonstrated their aerial skill in New
Jersey, Ohio, New York and
elsewhere in northeastern
Pennsylvania.
There are 20 to 30 "hard core
jumpers" associated with the
Rip Chords," Fatchet said.
Skydiving is a high risk sport,
rigidly controlled by the FAA,
and the US Parachute
Association. The FAA and

'SandsationaT George
mystifies multitude
by STUART DUNBAR
saying
- The old
"the hand is quicker than the eye" somehow
seemed true last Tuesday evening in Carver Hall, as George
Sands alias "Sandsational George" did his thing, that being
magic, in front of an audience of approximately three-hundred
people.
Clad in a hot pink ruffled shirt and a blue crush velvet suit,
Sands performed tricks that left young children in what seemed a
state of shock, as their eyes lit up and their mouths hung wide
open, waiting for more. The adults also seemed somewhat
bewilderedas to how it was possiblefor this man to perform so
many tricks and not make a mistake once.
For an hour and a half Sands performed some of his tricks that
he did whilest going around the campus such as rope tricks, and
various card tricks. ESP was included in Sand's as he read the
mind of a girl holding a one dollar bill then proceeded to write
down the serial number of the dollar bill of which he had never
seen. Other ESP tricks were readin g the mind of a girl who was
holding a book in her hand and telling the audience what the
words on the fifth line of a certain page were, and once again he
did all theseparts of theshow without mistake.
Being the author of two books on balloon sculpturing Sands
included this into part of his show. Taking challenges from the
audience he manipulatedlong thin balloons into various animals
such as a aardyark, camel parakeet, monkey, and even a giraffe.
Sands incorporated many people from the audience during his
show, and with his final act there were approximately fifteen
people as hypnotized them on state. Using only people eighteen
years or older Sands put these people to sleep and had them do
short skits such as stirring batter, catching birds and petting
them, and two girls from another planet ended up talking in a
foreign nonsensical language from their plan et.
Everyonein the audiencewas pleased with the show an d left the
auditorium the same way as when the show began, amazed and
bewildered.

Choir presents
Gershwinconcert
by LENORE FIRSCHING
'SwonderM! 'Smarvelous! 'S an all-Gershwin concert , to be
presented by the Bloomsburg State College Department of Music
on April l! Dr. John Master will "Strike Up the Band" at 8:15 p.m.
in Haas Center to begin an evening of entertainment devoted
entirely to the music of composer George Gershwin.
The concert will feature BSC's Concert Choir, directed by Dr.
William K. Decker, the College-Community Orchestra, directed
by Dr. John Master, and four faculty soloists.
George Gershwin, born in Brooklyn in 1898, became one of
America's most prominent and best-loved composers. His works
include the orchestral symphony "An American in Paris",
"Rhapsody In Blue ", and the American black opera "Porg y and
Bess", which did not become widely famous until after Gershwin's death in 1937.
Highlights, of the concert will be selections from "Porgy and
Bess" and several of Gershwin's famous Broadway musicals.
The four faculty solos featured will be "Rhapsody In Blue", a
piano solo by Mr. John Couch; "My Man 's, Gone Now" and
"Embraceable You" sung.by Mrs. Harriet Couch; "I Got Plenty
O' Nuttin"', sungby D.r Richard Stanislaw; and "Summertime"
and "Someone to Watch Over Me", by Miss Verity Bostick, who
has sung leading operatic roles and has done solo work with
various opera companies.
The College-Community Orchestra will play highlights from
"Porgy and Bess" and "Lullaby for String Orchestra" under the
direction of Dr. Master; the Orchestra will also accompany the
Concert Choir throughout the show under the direction of Dr.
Decker. . '""
The Concert Choir's repertoire will include selections from
Gershwin's Broadway musicals such as "Mine", "Swanee",
'"Sworiderful", and "Strike Up the Band" (complete with
kazoos!) Three selections from "Porgy and Bess" — "Bess, You
Is My Woman Now", "Oh Lawd, I'm On My Way ", and"It Ain't
Necessarily So" — will also be included.
If you're looking for an evening of fun and good entertainment,
tickets can be purchased at the box office for $2.00. The public is
cordially invited to come and spend an evening reminiscing with
America 's favorite composer!

building, hence, the mysterious
name) and replace the parking
area with two full basketball
courts and one volleyball court
and 20 feet of grass and flowers.
And so begins, or continues,
the one problem — parking.
When the barriers went up a
week or so ago North residents
were panic stricken. Just how
do 500 girls move in and - or out
of dorms on one road thatjeads
only to a "recreation area?"
Very simply, they don 't ,
becausethe road will be closed
off at the foot of the hill. So,
access to ,these dorms will be
uphill on foot. Actually, the
administration did think ahead
on this proj ect: the poles will be
removable, but only during
moving periods.
Assistant Vice President of
Administration , Frank Davis
explained that this is all part of
the "Master Plan" initiated two
years ago. The plan basically
consists of moving the traffic to
the outside of the campus.
This has some faculty
members upset because of the
inconvenience. Davis said this
was also put into perspective.
The iivemding consideration
of the Master Plan was the
student recreation aspect. Or,
as Boyd Buckingham, Vice
President of Administration
laughingly explained , the
recreation area will give
students a place to blow off
steam (without blowing up the
rest of the campus).
The recreation area will be
accessible to 40-60 students at
any time. It can accomodate
four games of half court
basketball, a volleyballgame as
well as sunbathers or outdoor
study (ers).
The thing to remember while
contemplating where to park, or
how you are going to lug those
bags of goodies from home up to
the dorm, is the fun you'll have
playing games.

Two major rallies this past
week have kicked off the "fees
freeze" drive by the Commonwealth Association of
Students (CAS) at the state
colleges and university campuses.
Over a thousand , students at
Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Saturday, and five
hundred at Edinboro State
College on Thursday, demonstrated against proposed fees
hikes. The rallies, sponsored by
CAS in conjunction with, the
student governments, were the
first in a series of rallies to be
held in the next few weeks at all
fourteen campuses of Pennsylvania 's institutions of public
higher education.
"We're having these rallies at
the campuses, " noted CAS
Executive Director Eugene T.

the highest public college fee
rates in the nation .
CAS, the statewide student

"The money to pay for this year

WARMING UP FOR A BIG SEASON ~ That 's what these members of the Bloomsburg
State baseball team are doing as the 1977 season approaches.

O'Hora becomes Isf
female all- american

by BONNIE EPLETT
Tina O'Hora became the first
female swimmer in the history
of Bloomsburg to become an
All-American. O'Hora did this
last week when she took twelfth
in the nation in the 50 yd. Back.
To be an All-American, one
must place somewhere in the
top six in either the tinals or
consolation finals. This may
sound easier than it really is
because a swimmer must
compete in various heats for
elimination before she can
move onto finals. The finals
events are always very close
races, and O'Hora's race was no

different. Her time of 30.07,
which gave her twelfth, was
only .4 seconds slower than the
sixth place finishing time.
The All-American from Clark
Summitt felt, "The Nationals
(held at Clarion this year) were
very organized. There was
equipment bought just for the
meet and the atmosphere was
very nice, not tense at all. What
was really neat was different
colleges in the same state were
cheering for each other, it
almost became a state against
state meet."
As far as the Bloomsburg
team is concerned, O'Hara

says, "everybody really swam
hard , and lowered their old
times and they were breaking
records left and right. "
Although the score didn't show
it, Bloomsburg did very well at
Clarion. All nine of the swimmers who went placed in the
teens. "In fact," said O'Hara,
"I'd say the average place we
took was somewhere around the
fifteenth, it seemed everyone
just missed qualifying ".

line" during the summer.
"If fees are increased," he

mean disaster for them. "

students from returning to the
campuses in the fall. CAS
submitted written testimony to
the Appropriations Committees
of both the House and Senate
during that week, as well as
bringing over a hudnred student
leaders to the state capitol to
talk to the legislators.
"Our entire efforts are geared
towards coalition-building, "
said Carroll, noting that several
days before the hearings, CAS
organized a statewide meeting
of the state colleges and
university, presidents, the
student government presidents,
and the campus faculty union
presidents. That historic
meeting — these leaders had
never before met together at the
statewide level — was termed a
success by the participants, and
resulted in all three groups
presenting similar data and
requests to the legislators.
in addition to the series of
rallies at the campuses, and the
constant lobbying efforts by the
CAS staff and leadership in the
state capitol, the student advocacy is now organizing a
statewide coalition of interest
groups to work for better funding, and a freeze on all student
fees, for the state colleges and
university.
