Studentsshow importance to town economy
by BARB FAHEY

"This week is Campus Cash
Week , " announced
CAS
President Nancy Oliver at a

recent meeting of the generaJ
body of the Commonwealth
Association of Students.
CAS urges all students who
received the Campus Cash in

their mailbox to help demonstrate to the Town of Bloomsburg just how important
students are to the economy oi
the town. On the Campus Cash

Ry BARB HAGAN
Non-renewal of the 1971-72
teaching contract of Dr. Joseph
T. Skehan , former Economics
professor at BSC, was declared
as a violation of his academic
freedoms acco rding to the
Committee on Professional
Affairs which met last week.
By a unanimous vote of 9-0 the
committee passed the following
motion formulated by. committee member P. Joseph
Garcia and reads as follows:
"After
reviewing
the
evidence submitted to this
committee ( CPA ) we are of the
opinion that the decision not to
renew Dr. Skehan 's contrac t
was for reasons wh ich were
violative of his academic
freedom.
Further the committee has
seen no convincing evidence
that Dr. Skehan would not have
been rehired had he remained
silent.about campus issues.
Furthermore the committee
has seen written evidence at-

testing to Dr. Skehan 's ability
as an economist and educator
written by his department
chairman and others.
The committee also has
testimony from a former
member of the Board of
Trustees that the board was not
aware of all the facts in the case
of Dr. Skehan before action was
taken.
Therefore the committee
recommends that the nonrenewal of Dr. Skehan 's. contract be reconsidered; meanwhile he sh ould be removed
from suspende d status , be
placed at full academic status
and he given a teaching
assignment in the department
of Economics.
In conclusion the committee
sees no need for institution of
formal proceedings to reconsider the non-renewal of Dr.
Skehan ." '
The recommendations of the
committee now is forwarded to
President McCo rmick who

must act on this decision within
10 days. McCormick can approve the committee's decision
or he can call for the form ation
of an ad hoc committee to
further investigat e the case.
Formation of an ad hoc committee will call for witnesses
and be a formalized procedure
as . o pposed to the above
preliminary hearing. :
Representing the state in
opposition of Skehan , Howard
M. Levinson. Deputy Attorney
General'from the Department
of Justice in Harrisburg plans to
appeal to the president that
formal hearings be convened in
this case. He feels the committee has taken one man 's
word as absolutely final and has
not given the opposing parties
involved a chance to present
their side through testimony.
Levinson also feels that by the
absence of a formal hearing the
committee
could
have
fo reclosed others with opportunity. In general Levinson
does not feel that the committee
considered there was another
side to the story. He also noted
that in his opinion it was not the
role of the party presenting
Skehan to present witnesses
during a preliminary hearing.

as academically violated

"Campus Cash is designed to increase the awareness of the interdependence between the college and the town ", explained CAS
coordinator Jeff Hun sicker.
Campus Cash is a CAS - APSCUF project geared to show the
financial impact of BSC in the town of Bloomsburg in hopes of
gaining more support from local merchants in the assistance for
financial help for higher education from the state legislature. It will
run December 5 throug h the 10th.
This project consists of students and other members of the
^
college
community passing "Campus Cash " dollars to merchants
along with actual payment for any purchases made off-campus.
The message on the Campus Cash is: "When tuition is increased
fewer students can afford higher education , fewer dollars get spen t
in this commun ity, and I woul d not be h ere to make this purchase".
According to Hunsicker this is an effective way to dramatize the
tuition plight to local merchants.
Students will be receiving a letter in their mail box explaining the
project along with some campus cash .
Nancy Oliver , President of the local CAS chapter states that "it's
up to students to show that they can move as a un ified student body.
We at CAS can only do so much , the rest is up to the students. It is a
simple and effective way lor students to fight tuition hikes. Our
main weapon in the past has been lobbying by the local CAS
chapters. Campus Cash is the type of project that we need student
help in , we can 't do it ourselves ".
'According to Oliver the response from the local merchants that
they have tal ked to so far has been very cooperative and very good.
Campus Cash is reminiscent of another similar project of about
throe years ago when students were given silver dollars to make
thejrlpurchases wit)vTMs;P^
sfucleht, spending has on tho community;

dollar is a statement which
rea»ds as follows:
When tuition is increased:
— Fewer students can afford
higher education
— Fewer dollars get spent in
this community
— And I would not be here to
make this purchase.
"The point of Campus Cash is
to make influential merchants
aware of the amount of money
students bring into this town so
that they, too, can work with us
to stop any increases in
tuition," says Coordinator Jeff
Hunsicker.
Also announced at the
meeting was the official
resignation of Hunsicker as
Coordinator for the BSC local
chapter of CAS. He announced
that he will be moving up to a
state-wide , off ice, Chairman of
the Board of Coordinators.
Elyn Rysz , CAS VicePresident , was approved by the
general body to move up to the
position of Coordinator, as is
designated in the CAS Constitution.
"A new vice president will be
semester ,"
needed next
reported Oliver , "and a new
historian since we are losing
ours to student teaching. "
Anyone interested in these

positions should leave their
names at the CAS office.
NORML reported that HB 904,
which
calls
for
the
decriminalization of marijuana ,
is still sitting in the House
Judiciary Committee. "No
one's getting busted, there 's no
pressure from outside people to
get the bill out of committee and
out on the floor, " reported
NORML chairperson Scott
Blair. He also reminded people
that even though the law is not
being enforced strictly now,
that as long as it is on the books,
the threat of being busted is still
real.
Blair also said that NORML
T-shirts and other products are
still available, and that they'll
make
great
Christmas
presents.
Hunsicker reported that the
escrow plan has been dropped
because there is no legal
precedent which can offer
protection to students. "We
can 't risk someone's education
by letting them be thrown out of
school, " Hunsicker stated.
Before adjourning
the
meeting, Oliver thanked
everyone who worked so faithfully all semester ', giving
Bloomsburg one of the best CAS
chapters in the state.

causes problems, . and the
reason we fail to relize it is
because we don't consider it
abnormal.
Noted
also was that
alcoholism is a family disease
and the non-alcoholics become
sicker than the alcoloics
family
themselves.
The
members must try to make the
alcholic responsible.
The most important point
mentioned was that of confronting the alcoholic. If we
were aware of the right place
and the right time to confront
the alcoholic, we could save a
nation ; however we don't know
the right time or place and it's
up to us to offer possible
solutions. The most interesting
yet depressing thoughtjwas that
of the alcoholic dying and
buying sobriety for the rest of
society.

by ROBERT STILES •
— Ghosts, apparitions and
OBES.
—
Pliantom-marchers ,
haunted houses and groupghost^scenes.
Those were the topics
discussed by Mr. Donald
Bashore in his recent lecture
entitled: The Occult. By
combining definitions , explanations
and
amusing
anecdotes, Bashore gave an
elementry, abbreviated and
interesting lecture. "The occult
is that which is mysterious,
esoteric and beyond present
human understanding," said
Bashore.
Bashore gave three reason for
the existence of ghosts on
earth :
— first, the spirits may have
an unfinished job or task that
they wish to complete before
going to wherever they usually
go.
— second, ghost are here
because those that are left
behind won't let them go. They
wish the ghosts to stay* with
them.
Bashore said that one of the
biggest disservices we can do a
dead love one, is make them
stay with us on earth. He said
that we are cheating the ghosts
by stopping them from going on
with their new life.
— third , some souls will not
accept the fact that they are
dead. Many of these souls are
war victims or accident
fatalities who believe that they
were unjustly murdered before
their time.
GHOSTS are the supernatural
appearances of a stranger
perceived by a person who is
unawa re of the spirit's identity .
Perceivability through one of
the five senses is important,
because not everyone perceives
ghosts. Some people live an
entire lifetime without being
aware of a ghost's appearnace.
Other people perceive ghosts
continually. No one fully understands why .

This year as in the past,
A.R.M. and A.W.S. will be
sponsoring a Toys - for - Tots
drive. The groups plan to visit
the different hospitals in the
area , and distribute the toys
collected from students and
department stores.
The drive will last two days,

December 7 and 8. In this time
they hope to accomplish all the
goals set; to bring happiness to
the children they come in touch
with in the hospitals. , ,
Special thanks should be
given to Nichols, Mid-way, and
Zayre's department stores for
supplying us with toys.

Project H.O.P.E. concluded
its student development
program last Thursday with the
final workshop which dealt with
a subject that college students
have been experts on for
decades-Alcohol Use and
Abuse.
With members of the Four
County Drug and Alcohol
System attending, the program
was concentrated on the attitudes people take towards
alcohol and alcoholism. The
main thrust of the workshop
was to acquire the proper attitudes people take towards
alcohol and alcoholism, because
the "attitudes we take are the
father of our actions."
It was pointed out that we look
at alcoholism as a disease but
society is still judging , it
morally. This tends to stem
from the . attitudes that are
formed from parental and
religious influences, along with
the experience attained from
race, culture and society.
Many of the mistakes about
alcohol are made on what we
don't know about it. We should
be able to recognize the disease
symptoms.

Generally defined, an alcoholic

Contrary to T.V. shows ,
ghosi!s do not talk to people.
They are content in performing
ritualistic actions.
If a person sees a ghost
reading a book , the next time
they see him , he will be reading
a book. If a person sees a ghost
sitting in a chair , the next time
they see him , he will be sitting
in a chair.
It is a rarity for people and
ghosts to interact. Many times
ghosts make their presence
know n by sounds or odors. An
interesting anecdote about such
ghosts, was Bashore's story
about the singing soprano.
Bashore described an evening
when he was playing the piano.
While playing, he heard the
voice of one of the * most
beautiful soprano voices he had
ever, heard. He turned around
and "saw nothing. He continued
to play, and the voice continued
singing. The voice came once
more, and was never heard
again by Bashore. Bashore
* called the soprano a ghost.
An APPARITION is a
supernatural appearance of
someone that is instantly
recognized, such as: a father,
mother , sister, brother , or
friend.
Apparitions usually appear
during times of crisis or death,
and generlly appea r only once.
Unlike ghosts, apparitions
will talk to people. Bashore told
a story about a rich miserly old
man who spent most of his life
hoarding his money. He dies,
and after his funeral, the family
examines his will and bank
records hoping to receive
something from his estate. The
old man's records showed that
there was barely enough money
to bury him.
The family inquires into the
whereabouts of the money.
They finally come to the conclusion that there were two keys
in the old man's possession
which would solve the mystery.
But they could not find where
the keys fit.
For the last year-and-a-half ,
the old man had been living with
his son, daughter-in-law and
grandchildren. During his stay,
he spent most of his time in his
bedroom.
About two or three months
after his death, his five-year-old
Sre vj e

granddaughter was playing in
her grandfather's room. Suddenly she turned around and
saw her grandfather. She ran
down the stairs in terror. She
told her parents what had
happened .
She said, "I went up into my
grandfather 's room and when I
turned around , there he was
sitting in his favorite chair...
and he talked to me and he said,
'Come here honey, I have
something impor tant to tell
you.'"
Bashore felt that the old man
was trying to tell u.e girl where
the money was.
OBES are the projection of
the mind and body out of the
body into another place.
Bashore told a story about a
husband and wife who lived in
the south. The husband got a job
in Washington D.C. The
husband and wife went househunting around D.C, During this
time, the wife had told her
husband and some friends about
a house she had seen in her
dreams. While hunting, she sees
her house, walks up to the front
door, knocks, and the woman
who answers the door says that
the woman from Alabama is her
ghost.
For anyone interested in
OBES, Bashore recommended
contacting Dr. Eugene Bernard, a professor at N. Carolina
State in Raleigh.
Another anecdote is the story
about
the
PHANTOMMARCHERS-O F CRETE.
From late May to early June, a
group of marching soldiers
appear. Historians have been
unable to tell from what time
period these ghosts belong.
When Turkey firs t ruled
Crete, a Turkish outpost sawy
the
PHANTON-MARCHERS
and called out the army to fight
the ghosts.
GROUP-SCENE S-OFGHOSTS can be seen in the
Phantom Battle of Edge Hill.
The actual battel took place in
October 1642. On Christmas Eve
of 1642, the natives of the town
heard the battle taking ' place
again. Wha t they heard was a
re-enactment by ghosts of the
actual battle. The ghost-reenactment continues to this
day.

"To look at Cuba is to see the
remnants of the past , the
struggles of the present and the
promise of the future, " stated
Robert Chrisman , publisher
and co-founder of The Black
Scholar , last Tuesday in Kehr
Union in his address on Cuban
history and " the culture of the
Cuban Revolution.
Chrisman
began
by
examining^ the history ol Cuba

from its discovery in the 15th
century to the present day. By
the year 1532 only 4,000 of the
original
200 ,000
Indians
inhabiting the island werealive.
This led the way for a massive
importation of African slaves.
Chrisman stated that at one
point the slave population
reached 62.5 percent of Cuba's
total population.

When a BSC student wins the national collegiate championship in riflery two years in a
row where does he go from
there? Where else but to
compete with the top high
power riflemen in the nation.
Carl Bernosky, a junior
majoring in accounting here at
Bloomsburg, became the
national high power rifle
champion late this summer at
Camp Perry, Ohio. Bernosky is
not only the first Pennsylvanian
to win this championship but he
is also the youngest person ever
to attain this title.
Bernosky finished with a
score of 1963 out of a possible
2000 and won the championship
in his second try, which in itself
is quite a performance. A
custom built, 308 Winchester
calibre rifle brought'Bernosky
his winning score.
A reigning state champion in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
and a winner of high match rifle
honors in Quantico, Va., Bernosky also has fired a perfect
score of 500 in a competition in
Reading. This perfect score has
only been acquired by one other
person in the nation . In the
Aggregate
Palma , Team
competition he won third place
with a score of 695 out of a
possible 700. Bernosky is also a
member of the Hardholders
East Gun Club. This squad, who
set a national record with a
score of 1979 out of a possible
2000, consists of the top shooters
residing east of the Mississippi.
Bernosky became interested
in riflery eight years ago when
his father, who competes in the
regional rifle league, taught
him about the sport. He began
competing with his father's .22
calibre rifle and didn 't begin
high power rifle competition
until two years ago.
Bernosky feels what has
gotten him so far so fast is selfmotivation. In this one - on - one

competition you have to
prepare yourself to think and
move fast in a given amount of
time.
Even though Bernosky has
just
begun
competing
nationally ; his record in the past
has proved him to be a top
contender in rifle competitions.

any time approximately 25
percent of the slaves owned by a
sugar mill were sick inj ured or
in some other way disabled.
Slaves worked seven days a
week, 16 to 20 hours a day. The
Cuban landowners believed that
it was cheaper to buy new
slaves from Africa than to
breed them. Few female slaves
were used because it was felt
that they were less productive
and that they were liable to
cause sexual conflicts among
the men.
In 1868 the first in a 'series of
revolts for independence from

abolition of slavery in Cuba. It
was not until 1895 that these

Bucknell answered back with
a field goal, but points were
hard to come by until mid-way
into the first half when both
teams held a shoot-out on the
court.
The lead see-sawed back and
forth with Bucknell holding a

in the half. John Bucher drew a

score at 30 by connecting on the

playing a tight zone defense.
The Huskies managed to get
inside and opened a 38-35 gap,
but Bucknell answered with two
quick baskets to lead by a point.
The Huskies battled back to
come within one, 43-42, but

Steve Bright and John Bucher
were forced to the bench with
four personals each. It was now
that the Bisons used their height
advantage to get key offensive
rebounds as they began to work
inside and penetrate the zone.
When Bucknell built a tenpoint lead at 58-48, mainly on
the shooting of sophomore
forward Al Leslie, the Huskies
started to come unglued. They
pressed on offense, committing
costly turnovers, and became
lackadaisical on defense
allowing the Bisons to roam
freely under their basket.
With a 12-point lead and the
game nearing a close, Bucknell
froze the ball and with it any
chance of a Bloomsburg victory.

Johnstow n last weekend to
participate in a preseason invi tational tournament hosted by

excellent fast-break that BSC
couldn 't control . High-scorers
for Bloomsburg were senior

Julie Ludrof with 21 points, and
senior Mary Balaban and
sophomore . Patty Lions with 10
points each.
On Saturday morning, the
Huskies defeated Clarion State,
