NORML sums up plans by LENORE FIRSCHING "We've establ ished an organization and made a name for ourselves; we've '. raised consciousness in the people around us." These were* the feelings of Scott Blair, BSC Coordinator for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (N0RML) , when asked to sum up NORML's progress since the beginning of the fall semester. He feels that it has been, very successful.

NORML's first and foremost •; objective — gaining support of the legislators — has been obtained; ' Frank Kury and Ted Stuban have stated on record that, they will vote for a decriminalization bill when and if it coi3ies up. "We got a'lot of hew input from the legislators," Blair said. The bill has been put through a series of delays due to problems with the budget; since the budget was passed December 8, Blair is hopeful that the bill may come up sometime this semester. When asked about NORML's plans for next semester, Blair was optimistic. ''We've started the organization; now we're going to maintain it," he said. "We've got some excellent people jn charge. " Blair hopes'to take another lobbying trip this semester and to take a group to the Northeast Regional Conference in New York this spring. : Blair said that most importantly, he atten ded the National Convention where he learned that lecture) tapes are ^available for workshops; he hopes to plan a 'continuing education referral service for NORMI^.

Organization aids in book sales By LENORE FIRSCHING Textbook-buying time will soon be upon us, and for those who wish to buy or sell used books this probably means the hassle of searching through thousands of sheets of paper on the bulletin board to find the book you want.

On Sunday evening, November 27, Mrs. Mong and myself were traveling along route 80 from New York City to our home in Warren , Pennsylvania. Like hundreds of other travelers, we found ourselves caught in a severe snow and ice storm. Several students from your Bloomsburg State College literally saved our lives by pulling us from our automobile and to an embankment to safety. These concerned and brave young people then proceeded to help others in a situation which proved to be disastrous. I do not know the names of the students which helped us> but I want you to know that you do have hundreds of wonderful and helping students at your college. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to all the special young people at Bloomsburg State College. Sincerely, J. Larry Mong, Principal Market Street School Home Street School Parkingproble ms Dear Editor : Frustrated and tired of hassles, I am writing this letter in the hopes it will enlighten BSC students on the parking situation. First of all, I am also a BSC student and very well aware of the limited parking spaces available on campus and the surrounding areas. But, I am also a property owner in Bloomsburg and very tired of the arrogant and insolent attitude of students when it comes to parking. I want someone to tell me where it says students are allowed to park anywhere they please regardless of the parking laws and private property. t ..All last semester and now again this semester students have constantly been parking on my private property . When asked to move their cars they become very arrogant and act as if they are being deprived of a right . A student, I would hope, is a responsible adult and as a car owner he has additional I responsibilities. One of which is to obgy all traffic laws including the prohibition of parking in certain areas and specific times. But more importantly is to respect the right of private property. It is illegal to park on private property without the permission of the owner for any reason. Regardless if it' s for 5 minutes or an hour or more, if there are signs which say "private property ", "no trespassing", and "no parking" then parking in that area is prohibited. The only excuse for the continuance of parking in this area would be that these arrogant insolent students never took the time to learn to read. Name withheld Marston case To the Editor : The reason I'm writing this letter is to make students more aware of a recent controversial issue. It involvesthe removal of David W. Marston, the U. S. Attorney for eastern Pennsylvania. Under the spoil system the Carter Administration has the right to replace Marston . But why has Attorney General Bell waited so long? Marston, a Republican, has successfully prosecuted two of the most powerful Democratic politicans of the la*stdecadev Herbert Fineman, and Henry J. Cianfrani, on corruption charges. Marston 's past record is indicative of his ability as a U. S. Attorney. Ironically, it was President Carter who a number of times vowed to keep politics out of Justice Department appointments. It is my opinion that Marston will be replaced, not because of his so called "incompetency , " but because of his current investigation of Rep. Joshua Eilerg law firms ' financing of a Philadelphia hopsital. It was Eilerg who told President Carter: j -You've got to replace Marston . Anybody but Marston. And it's got to be gast." And besides, this is a election year and'futher convictions and investigations are something the Democrats can do without. Donald R.Beaver Hidlay ouster * To the editor : University Women notes the allegation made by you that membership in the same organization by two persons who work together constitute a conflict of interest and deplore to our its application organization which is an educational organ ization. Taken to its ultimate conclusion, this would prohibit two members of the same service organizations and - or church affiliations ; i.e., KIWANIS , ROTARY , BPW , WOMEN'S CIVIC CLUB, .AMERICAN LEGION , VFW , CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS, etc., from serving on any committees together. It is indeed regretable that a person in your position should use such a "reason" to justify the outster of Commissioner Carol Hidlay as representative to the Regional CETA Council — an action that would seem, in fact, to have no logical explanation especially when it is apparent that Commissioner unusually Hidlay is knowledgeable with regard to the CETA program. In addition , she has proved to be efficient, productive, and effective in fulfilling her responsibilities as County the Columbia representative to and the authorized President of the Regional CETA Council to the benefit of the community and county. Sincerely yours, Dr. Margaret J. Long President 100 E. Eighth Street I The Campus Voice will 5 hold another gala meetIing of the entire staff on JL Thursday, January 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Voice f ff office. This is a MANDAiTORY Meeting. y J 1 v I J by DEBBIE HEIM For three consecutive years the department of foreign language has noted a steady increase in the nurnber of its enrollments. Some of this added increase can be credited to "Roots", that is, people having a sincere desire to explore their ethnic backgrounds. Other explanations for the deman d of foreign language courses could be: people now have a desire to become more aware of other cultures both past and present, people are hopin g to show another dimension to a prospectiveemployer, or, maybe, people are just interested in commun icating with those millions of people to whom English is a foreign language. Would you like to be able to converse fluently in French, German , Italian , Latin, Polish , Russian , or Span ish? Well if any of these subjects sound interesting the foreign lan guage department at BSC has the course for you! "Our offerings, " stated Allen Murphy, department chairman, "are supportive of a new effort to increase the study of foreign lan guages throughout the country." Undoubt edly BSC is doing its share to help, Italian made its debute in the college curriculum in the fall of '76. For the first time in the history of BSC, Polish is being taught this semester. Latin, which has been absent from course offerings since.before World War II , is making a reappearan ce. The response of students has been most favorable and indicates that these newcomers to the lan guag e program are strong and welcome additions. While only the first year courses are offered , intermediate courses may be taught if student interest is indicated. French , German , Span ish — the more commonly taught lan guag es have broaden ed their offerings over the past few years. In all three lan guage courses are now offered in conversation, culture or civilization , literat ure in the lan guag e, and literature in English translations. At a foreign language conference held in Wash ington Paul Simon (D-Ill.) announced the concern of President Carter for an increase, in this coun try, in the study of foreign lan guages andculture. Bloomsburg State College is definately doing its share to help.

During the first several months of her sabbatical, Lauer remained in the U.S. studying Judith Wright's poetry- the object of her research. In April, Lauer travelled to Australia where, in her studying, became aware of the greatness of another Australian poetKathlyn Walker. Therefore, not only did Lauer visit with the poet Wright, but also was delighted to have an extended personal relationship with the fa m ous poet Walker. Kath Walker has the title as the first published Aboriginal poet. During her several day visit Put on those dancing shoes by LENORE FIRSCHING Preliminary registration has begun for the Dance Marathon to be held here on January 27, 28 and 29 in Kehr Union. This year's theme will be "The '60's" and will provide many opportunities to win cash and prizes . This year's marathon will have some significant changes from last year 's. Three marathons will be held simultaneously: A fifty-hour marathon starting at 8:00 a.m. on Jan. 27, and two minimarathons which will last from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28. One twelve-hour marathon will be open to anyone who wishes to dance, and the other will be open to high school students in grades 912. The 50-hour marathon is open to anyone who has the ambition to last. This year, individual dancers will have an opportunity to win prizes as well as couples. First prize for the intact couple who dona tes the most money and last 50 hours will be $150 and trophy ; however, if one parcflr drops,, out , ''the" otlier dan continuc dancing and will win $75, Dancers can register either as individuals or as couples. A $75 first prize and a $25 second prize will be awarded to the couple or individual who turns in the most money prior to the start of his marathon ; this includes participants of all three marathons. A $125 cash prize and trophy will be awarded " to the individual or couple who has danced at least 20 hours and turned in the most money by 4:00 p.m. February 10, 1978.

Anyone having questions concerning the marathons can call the Information Desk (3893902) , Marianne Montague ( 3893502) , John Trathen ( 389-3723), or any member of the Kehr Union Program Board. with this poet, Lauer was given tours by her generous hostess. Walker also lent some of her unpublished works to Lauer to read and to study. Lauer really enjoyed her stay in Australia and said, "I learned much more than I had expected." Lauer's study in Australian Literature is only one account of the many opportunities open to the professors who meet certain criteria. After seven years of successful full-time teaching, a professor may apply for a sabbatical leave of absence from the college. One of the four following reasons must be intended in order to be granted a sabbatical: 1) restoration of health, 2) travel, 3) study 4) research. Included in this grant is one semester leave with full year salary or under certain circumstances, one full year leave with half salary. To receive this opportunity, the eligible professor must first submit an application a year in advance, stating the specific purpose of the leave, how it will serve the college and benefit him as an individual. Since no more than five percent of the BSC faculty can be granted a sabbatical in any one giveri year, committees examine the applications to decide who will receive the grants. From there, applications proceed to the President who ultimately approves the sabbatical. i PRIVATE PILOT GROUND SCHOOL i 1 ^^^" *^Sf ^^ BEFORE The Good 1 H . •!© Week Course Begins Wed.
