Davis. In- -an ' interview Tuesday morhing, Davis expressed his concern over rumors which have developed during the period after he made his initial decision in August. At that time Soccer. Coach Louis V. Mingrone was notified that because of recent re-sodding his team would not have use of the stadium , as had previously been planned. Mingrone advised his players of the change, which meant playing all home games on the practice field. The players have since gone to CGA President Joe Surdoval, who heard their grievance and, promised action. CGA allocated $2,100 for conversion of the stadium in April '76; the funds going for an artificial playing surface to enlarge the area to soccer dimensions. Surdoval expressed concern over Davis' handling of the affair,, paying : "I don 't think he deliberately withheld the information from student leaders, however I hope that in the future students are informed before the decision is actually made. " • Davis commented that his decision is based on financial considerations, adding that "we have a one year bond with the con tractor , Robert Hum m er." He emphasized the costliness of ro-sodding, which was quoted at $10,000 - $15,000 a clip. "If we go easy on the field this year it will last another ten years in all probability , and that's¦ quite a sayings,".

After speaking with Hum mer, Davis feels an additional soccer game might be possible. He consulted with Surdoval and a meeting between Mingrone, Coach Ron Puhl, and Cecil Turberville, BSC Athletic Director, is in the works. Toward the end of the interview, Davis took time to point put how fortunate BSC is to have the re-surfacing accomplished in time for this year's athletic schedule. "The conditions of the stadium warranted immediate action," he added, citing the ruined grass in the end zones and the deplorable state of the field itself. Davis recognized the inconvenience, his decision would have on the sports program and its participants. "But if we hadn't done it , this, year we'd just have to go through it all again next year."

Exec Council by CATHY LUCREZI Voter registration , the Homecoming concert, and the Knoebel's Grove picnic were discussed at the CGA Executive Council held at 6 p.m . on Monday, September 12 in the CGA Office. To encourage students to register to vote , it was suggested that a discount on concert tickets be offered to all registered student voters. Therefore, ticket prices would be $5 for students without ID, $4 for students with ID, and $3.50 for registered voters with ID. This motion was defeated due to BSC coeds In search of now and original crofts brouso th> array of Jamboree '77 Goodlos. Last weekend's festival drew inquisitive crowds. several members who felt that there was too much confusion involved in the process and some members who did not want students registering to vote because of a gimmick.

The CGA elections are. next week and if you/re a chronic complainer of campus activities and bank rolls, it's time to get involved baby! The CGA is the bank of the students, among other functions, that handles your activities fee and if you don 't want to see it thrown away on' unusual events or projects that sink like a lead balloon, then do something about it. Either get off your duff and get a petition to get elected (if it's possible by 4:00 p.m. this afternoon) or else put your faith in someone who you CAN put your faith into. Your money is a valuable fund which you must entrust to other people's whims. Don't vote for a whimsical person you don 't know.

Oh well you might as well because ther e's nothing to do in ^ Bloomsburg on the weekends anyway right? Ah no- that 's where people are wrong.. The town of Bloomsburg itself may not be jumpin' with things to do and if you 're waiting for someoneto have things planned for you to do, you better not hold your breath. Oh sure we have a wonderful fall calender all set up for the students with things to do, but there are other alternatives ya know-or do you? If you have a bike or even if you only have two feet, many of these alternatives are just waiting for you. Take for example the mountain range on the other side of the river. Have you ever thought of taking a walk or ride over there, probably not. This area is a place where you can walk for miles on end with no one around and no one to bother you. For* the junk collector this area is moderatel y endowed with various types of junk. Glass electrical insulators atop the telephone poles add an antique look for your collection, or if you're really lucky you may find the remains of an old home with various odds and ends lying around. For the amateur rock climber this area provides good practice/There exits easy rocks to climb and some that aren't so easy, even dangerous, but still exciting. ' If by chance you follow the railroad tracks to the right of the bridge — sooner , or later you'll come across a not so familiar site these days — that being the covered bridge at the edge of town. The realization that this is truly a work of art will come when one notes its enormous beams of wood which have been bent, shaped, and contoured to fit perfectly so as to make a sturdy framework — yes it is quite beautiful — but many people are just too lazy to walk a few miles. What a shame. Heading the other way out of town beginning atop Turkey Hill, the knick knack collector will do well if he or she veers to the right and down the hill. The area is full of fossils imbedded in the rocks. One may find leaf markings, old shells, or even a trilobite or two. A fine collection can be found here or even in the town of Lightstreet in a few oij the hills on the outskirts of the! ' town. Speaking of Lightstreet have you ever seen the animal farm, its not like a zoo one would see in Philadelphia , or Washington, D.C., but there are a variety of animals ranging from peacocks to a buffalo living here waiting for people to view them. The list goes on and on for example canoeing, backpacking, Quest activities, which over the last four years has become a main focal point of BSC. The town park, although small, offers quietness, combined with a nice surrounding, but you're going home again sol I guess you'll never experience or appreciate the beautifu surroundings we have aroun< us. Let's look at our exciting fal calender - we have movies chess tournaments, book sale: in the college store ending, an< even mid-term coming up, ant to think you only have to walk ; ; couple hundred yards to have i great time.

With the re-sodding of Redman Stadium, the soccer team was told at summer camp that their '77 season could not be played on the stadium field. The reason for this decision was to preserve the longevity of the field in the future. According to Frank Davis, the soccer schedule was too intense to be accommodated in the field without causing permanent damage to the $25,000re-soddingjob. As is stated in the relatedsoccer story on page one, the decisionis being reconsideredby Davis. Widespread rumors throughout the BSC campus have warrantedan in-depth lookat the soccerdecision. In an interview with soccer Coach Louis Mingrone I found a most unhappy coach and equally unhappy and concernedplayers. After speaking with Mingrone and examining the soccer schedule, the October 15 game stuck out as a date that the soccer team should be able to play on the stadium field. On this day the football team is away and it is far enough in the future so mat the sod will be rooted deeper.Mingrone and his players will be happy to play just this one game in the stadium. With the date October 15 and further information concerning the decision, Davis was again approached. Right here is where a problem arose. Davis had not been informed of this date as it does not appear on the printed soccer schedule. This basic lack of communication made it hard for any reconsiderations to be made on Davis's decision. Of course, once the decision had been made and appealed to Davis by Mingrone, any further efforts seemed fruitless. But with this new date in mind, Davis has promised to look into the possibility of the soccer team playing in the stadium. Davis also noted that Robert Hummer. the contractorwho re-soddedthe field had no objections to a soccer game being played. , With all this in mind the soccer team may not be in for the unfair treatment that seemedapparent over Qie past few weeks. So long as everyone remains informed on issues and studentsas well as faculty take the initiative to raise questions when they feel a decision is unwarrantedas seemedapparent in the soccer decision, BSC will be a fairer place to live. FBI Star Wars again by DUANE LONG, Don 't you hate it when people tell you all about a movie that you're seeing for the first time? We sympathize, but here is our prediction for theplot of the upcoming Star Wars II. In the sequel emphasis is placed on the "Force", rather than the missing/Death Star plan s. As any SW fan can tell you, the Force is what gives a Jedai Knight his power, ft is an energy field that pervades and binds the universe, and is best likened to Esoteric Taoism, where the power of yin and yang clash in eternal opposition. Unlike Oriental adepts (who are content with the Tao 's rapture) , Jeadi Knights are spiritual samurai capable of tapping and man ipulating the psychic energy of the Force, We'll not only see some fancy shooting, but we'll glimpse a few other tricks up the Jedai 's sleeves that make Luke 's Death Star shot look like penny arcade stuff. THE FORCE The storyline picks up where Star Wars ended. Darth Vader has spiralled-off through inter-stellar spac e while the Empire's battle station is destroyed. An ensuing victory celebration is held on the rebel ^ plan et, with our war-weary heroes Luke, Han , and Chewbaca partying it up in the Princess' palace among the ruins. Meanwhile Vader is picked up by a Corellian starship which detected the Death Star 's explosion, and issues orders to h ead for the Emperor 's planet, Imperia. On the ship Vader reveals that his assignment aborad Death Star was as an observer to report on th,e station 's effectiveness — an assignment rendered academic by its > destruction . (continued on page' three ; Marching band works for entertainment by JAN AAGAARD An organization we should not take for granted is our very own Maroon and Gold Band, one of the most active and hardworking organizations on campus They have an impressive schedule of events lined up this season which began on August 27, with a week of intense practicing in preparation for the Labor Day parade in Ashland This parade was one of the six parades that they will be participating in this season. Band Day on October 1 will feature four high schools : Stroudsburg, Athens, South and - North Williamsport Schuy lkill. The combined performance of the groups will be televised with the game on WNEP channel 16. Each band in turn will do a 10-15 minute postgame field exhibi tion for which it is hoped the fans will stay. You may have noticed at the game this past weekend that the band has increased its membership, which means that it is the largest that its been in ten years. There are thirty freshmen in the playing band and about sixty percent of the band f^ont is composed of freshmen. As a result they are short on raingear and a few items. However , the Community Government Association has always been very generous about necessary funds for instrument repair and uniform replacement, as well as the cost of transportation and meals at all of the away games. Last year .CGA provided the band with 100 new uniforms. Competition is downplayed among collegiate bands because of the wide disparity in the music departments of the colleges, and the time investment that would be involved. As it stands now the members spend quite a sizable amoun t of their time in diverse activities. Mr. Wallace, the band director , has the job of organizing the shows, which is a creative but time-consuming task. The current theme of his the services that the members of the National Band Service Fraternity provide at many of the campus' cultural events. At the close of the football season the marching band, which contributes to the larger concert band, will present two spring concerts ; one with Mr. shows center on love songs. In his drills he emphasizes good playing and good spacing, rather than constant motion. The school's spirit, it may be noted, could use some doctoring. Perhaps the words to the Alma Mater, which are virtually unknown, could be passed out to interested people entering the stadium . In the planning stags, is the organization'of a student cheering section to back up the cheerleaders, whose cheers, as of yet, are not very well known. In the summer of 1973 the band spent two weeks in Spain, where they played live on Spanish television in front of 12 million viewers. This summer they have tentatively planned a trip to Rome with the Lock Haven State College band , for which the members will pay their own way . Other activities that the members are involved «n are : the selling of football programs, the construction of their homecoming float , as well as Star Wars again SAGA Accommodating the masses by SUE LONG Wondering why there are such long 1 lines at the Commons? Want to know why and what you can do about it? Read on . . . enrollment , Bloomsburg unlike most colleges, has remained at capacity level. In 1975, there was a total of 2,341 campus and off-campus students on the meal plan. Now that Lycoming Hall has been built, there are over 2,540 students on campus alone, all who are required to purchase meal tickets. Because many students are forced to live offcampus in their junior and senior years due to the housing shortage, the Saga Food Service and the college administration feel it necessary to help these students financially as much as possible. The meal ticket is one of these ways. Saga is one of the "most reasonably priced food services around." Where else can one eat nutritionally - sound meals for under $13 a week? Brian Sarris, the Director of the Saga Food Service pn campus, has done;everythinghe can . to alleviate the problems caused by the excessive number of students on the meal plan. His staff has been working extra diligently to serve the ten - people - per - minute - per - line which they are capable of doing. Leaflets have been distributed in an ali-out Saga effort tc please the students. As an experiment, different colored meal tickets have been isj sued to some students , limiting them from eating between the busy hours of noon Un i ted kick off by DEBBIE HEIM On September 12; Columbia County announced its official kick-off of the United Fund Drive. The Bloomsburg College Community Drive, will be held in late September or early October. John Scrimgeour, chairman of the drive for the college is faced with a real challenge since Columbia County has not attained its goal in the last four years. When asked how he felt about" this year's driveScrimgeour said, "I am excited...and part of the reason for my being excited is the willingness of people to help." With every contribution, organizations within your community are being supported. Recipients of contributions from Columbia County are: The Salvation Army, Home Health Services, Family Planning, Family Counseling and Mental Health, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, Bloomsburg Library, Catawissa Area Recreation, U.S.O., Millviile Recreation, Orangeville Library, Benton Recreation, and Child Welfare. Last years contributions from Bloomsburg College amounted to $6,804. This total was down from the previous two years.Scrimgeour said, "I do not feel that it would be unreasonable to double last year's figure." That would make the goal for this year over $12,000. Scrimgeour has sent a slip in each payrollurging for contributions, He said that it was time for the college to send a message to the town saying that we are here and do care and are "one with the community," But in the long run the idea behind the United Fund Drive is not to show the town that we can donate some money but to help people who need our help. So when you are asked to donate, show them you care — give to the United Fund , it's workingl Couch of the . Music Department, and another . with Lock Haven State's band. In conclusion, it may be stated again that you ought not to miss Band Day, either on TV or at the'game, and try to Go your part in revving up our school spirit. ^ and 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. t
