Skehan dismissed as trial is ended Dr. Joseph Skehan, fired and then financially reinstated at BSC, is recommended for dismissal again, it was confirmed Monday, according to a recent Morning Press article. Although college administration sources confirmed that the committee finding went against Skehan , neither the administration nor a spokesman for the committee would make public the report which allegedly includes "findings of facts" reached by the committee. The committee's recommendation had been sent to Dr. James McCormick, college president, a week earlier. The president's office said the report had been referred to Glendon Frank, deputy attorney general whoseservice area includesBSC. It was indicated Dr. McCormick was awaiting Atty . Frank's review of the report. Skehan , it was reported continues to receive his salary reputed to be about $17,000, although he is not teaching. Skehan's salary reinstatment came as the result of an order by U.S. Judge Malcolm Muir who also ordered the committeereview. The panel of Skehan 's college peers bega n its session on Jan. 14 and held numerous hearings. Skehan never appeared before the committee other than to challenge its authority. He did not testify nor submit to examination. The case stems back to the days when Dr. Robert Nossen was president of the college and Skehan was fired for not following orders to meet and teach classes in accordance with the administration's schedule. Deake-G. Porter, with whom Skehan was associated at the time in the Economics Department was also dismissed then. BSC revives olden king by JULIE STAMETS The famous "handwriting on the wall" will mysteriously appear as the Music and Theatre Departments of Bloomsburg State College present "Belshazzar" an operaoratorio by George Fredrick Handel, April 28-29 in Haas Center for the Arts. Curtain time is 8:15 p.m. This fully staged production is based on the Old Testament Book of Daniel and tells the story of the fated King Belshazzar, of Babylonia, who held the Hebrew nation in captivity. The upcoming BSC performances of "Belshazzar " are among the very few ever presented in the United States. Perhaps hot as famous a work as "Messiah ," "Belshazzar" is considered by many to be Handel' s finest ' oratorio. Because Handel himself included many stage directions in the musical score, it is assumed that he wished for the work to be fully staged. William Decker, Chairman of the Bloomsburg State College Department of Music, will conduct a Chamber Orchestra which will include John Couch as harpsichordist. Belshazzar"'is also under the stage direction of Frederick Roffman, and choreography is , by Michelle Stehlin. Roffman studied directing at Boston University and conducting at Peabody Conservatory. While at Peabody he served as a graduate assistant and taught in the opera department. Presently he is teaching an advanced scene study class in New York. Stehlin has performed in nightclub reviews, dance companies and in legitimate theatre productions. In summer stock she has appeared in over 12 musicals such as "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Oh, What a Lovely War. " Among her favorite roles are Ado Annie in "Oklahoma!" and Irene Malloy in "Hello Dolly. " The Bloomsburg State College production of "Belshazzar " will feature scenery by Hitoshi Sato. The set, designed by Sato also, will be the largest set ever used in a BSC production. The set will include an extended stage and various levels of towers depicting biblical castles and temples.

Change causes trouble Students may not be any more mobile than other people but it seems so when you are mailing checks to some one million of them monthly, the Veterans Administration says. Some 160,000 GI Bill students filed change of addresses with VA last month and VA computer programmers are happy about it. It's those who failed to notify the agency after a move that VA Administrator '. ' Max Cleland worries about. "A late check can be disastrous to a veteranstudent's budget," Cleland said. "The risk of missing a check can be avoided with a change of address n^ice. " "Students 'Svho move," The VA chief said, "and alert their VA on-campus reps or local VA office will get their checks at the new address." The biggest problem in misdirected checks comes at the end of a semester. For example, if the semester ends in May, the student may leave campus before his check arrives. A change of address notice can solve this problem. VA takes pride in its overall record of getting benefits to the right person at the right time, at the right place, according to Cleland. "Veterans can help us trim our mistakes," Cleland said. A change of address can be executed by using th£ form included with every mailed check or the form, available at the local on campus Veteran's Office.

Asian combat skills a self-defense sport byJEAN KRAUS Choosing classes to match ones' interests and requirements can be one of the biggest hassles of the semester. Reading and rereading the master schedule guide to find those classes can almost become a daily habit, but wait!

Now, if you feel you don't want a course in combat skills, read on; you really don't understand the purposes and accomplishments of jud o. More than a sport of self-defense, judo offers individuals an opportunity to enhance their physical fitness and agility while becoming more aware of their bodies. Judo also offers individuals a means of recreation and competition. B-ut what exactly is judo? Judo is generally defined as a modern sport in which throwing and grappling are the principle techniques. When used in selfdefense, judo includes certain hand and foot blows, holds and escapes. Although judo requires hard work and patience to be mastered, students who hadthecourse enjoyed it and even recommended it to others. Students also stated that the course is not hard to grasp, for Mr. Sanders, the judo instructor, teaches the course in a gradual process. This process includes: getting students into shape by running and calisthenics, mastering correct ways of falling to assure safety, learn ing basic standees and then gradually learning moves and fourteen various throws. Sanders will again teach this course next semester in four sections. Classes will be held in Nelson Field House on Monday and Wednesday (10 and 11) and Tuesday and Thursday (lan d 2). If you're looking for that one class which will highligh t your day or if you just wan t somethingdifferent , judo is the course to choose.

Morals (continued from page two ) Professor Watts mentioned three of the following: Corporations should devise a contract of moral conduct to be signed by business employees. Higher risks of getting caught should be enacted by all businesses. Businessmen should believe in what he is doing rather than in what he is getting. Ethics, as a major part of the business world, requires indepth study to be understood and improved. Perhaps the future will hold the answers of businessman today.
