Policy changes desira ble . by MARY WRIGHT BSC faculty are overwhelmingly in favor of maintaining the policy of general education requirements in the college curriculum , though most feel that present policies should be examined and modified. These findings are revealed in a faculty, survey recently completed by Dr. John Baird , Chairman of the Department of Psychology. In evaluating the current general education requirements in the BSC curriculum, while 90 percent of faculty members are in favor of some requirements, 85 percent feel that changes within the system are desirable. Fewer than 10 percent favor dropping general education requirements altogether. In response to more specific questions on G.E.R. content, opinion was more divided on what modifications were desirable. Retention of current requirements to ensure proficiency in English was most heavily stressed, with 74 percent voting to retain English 101, and 63 percent to retain English 200 or 201. In Health - Physical Education, while 50 percent of faculty members favor full retention of the current requirements and another 26 percent favor continuance of a modified program, 45 percent favor discarding the swimming proficiency requirements. While 55 percent of the faculty favor retention of the current Special ElectiveS Group Concept (Humanities and Arts; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Natural Science and Mathematics) , 52 percent would like to see the 15-12-12 semester hours division within this grouping modified with 58 percent favoring retention of the requirement that at least two departments be represented within each grouping. Opinion.was almost evenly divided on the question of a student's major discipline being additional to these e d u c at i o n general requirements. Opinion was also evenly divided on the question of minimum number of semester hours required for general education r e qu i r e m e n t s (currently 58) , and also on the question of whether such courses should be strictly defined such that only a few courses in each department would qualify, or broadly defined such that most courses would qualify. The final question concerned the course numbering system, with two-thirds of faculty members favoring a standard system based on general content and difficulty,' to be applied to all departments. Assortment of exciting travel "OKAY, YOU GOT ME"...One of Bloomsburg's police officers was issued a ticket for a parking violation on campus grounds Tuesday. (Photo by Work) by JULIE STAMETS The Kehr Union Travel Service, in an attempt to expand the variety of trips offered to students, staff , and faculty, will be sponsoring many trips in collabora tion with Catawese Coach Lines. The Fall semester 1978 holds many opportunities for those who wish to travel. Such ex- Coalition for med by CAS The formation of the Coalition Against Discrimination (CAD) was the major achievement at the Commonwealth Associa tion of Students (CAS) legislative conference last weekend at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "It is a landmark step, " said CAS Minority Board Chairman Clarence Carter , of IUP, who played a major role in the formation of the coalition. "The only way it will work is by a total commitment by all four task forces involved and total understanding by the legislative body as a whole." The CAS board of minority representatives, in an historic compromise involving three other task forces, formed the coalition with one stipulation. CAD reserved the right to be sole reviewer of itself after a one year probationary period, with the power to reject the coalition and search of an alternative structure, or continue with the CAD in its existing form. The other task forces involved included representatives of women's, gays, and han- Break-in underinvestigation A break-in occurred at the College Store Wednesdaynight after midnight. According to Security Chief Richard Neuffer , "Sometime after midnight a person or persons entered the College Store through a window on the east side of the building. At the present time, nothing is known to be taken, pending an inventory." Neuffer added, "An investigation is continuing and the Pennsylvania State Police have been called In to assist." "Anyone having any knowledge of the break-in is asked to contact the security office at 389-2617. All information will be held in confidence," Neuffer added. dicapped students. TheBoard of Minority Representatives, onethird of the legislative body of CAS under the old structure, gave up some of its voting power in favor of creating a coalition which would give "better representation to other minorities being discriminated against," said CAS staff intern, Chris Leavey, of Slippery Rock State College. there were two arguments against formation of the CAD. One concern was voiced by the Board of Minority Representatives who felt it would be sacrificing its voting power. cursions as the Ice Follies in Hershey and a tour of Longwood Garden are being offered. Shopping tours to Reading and Plymouth Meeting Mall are also on the tour schedule. The Broadway show "Beatlemania" is another trip which may interest students. According to Mike Sowash, Operations Manager at the Kehr Union, sign up for all trips is at the Information Desk at which time the total cost must be paid. Those trips which are solely sponsored by the Kehr Union and not in conjunction with Catawese Coach Lines will depart from the front of Elwell Hall. Those associated with Catawese will leave from the A&P parking lot. Sowash stresses that if there is not an ample number of BSC par ticipants signed up for a pai ticular trip, the . Catawese departure point as well as the times may vary. The minimum number of participants is 20 for a Catawese trip to take place. The Kehr Union Travel Service will also be sponsoring a trip over Spring Break 1979 (Feb. 24 - Mar. 3) to Montego Bay, Jamaica. The cost will be $269.00 for eight days and seven nights. Information on this trip can be obtained by contacting Frank Lorah in the Community Activities Office. It is very important, according to Sowash, that all interested people sign up for a trip as far in advance as possible, due to the number of seats available. While the Board thought the concerns of women, gays, and handicapped were important and worthy of representation, it felt this representation should not come at its expense. Shippensburg Women's Task force Coordinator Patti Couch, serving as Minority Board proxy, said, "the CAD will have difficulty finding common ground. Each of the four groups have separate problems. The only thing we have in common now is discrimination," she added. COULD YOU ESCAPE SAFELY FROM THIS DORMITORY IN CASE OF HRE?T..Tbls hazard which hat boon brought to the attention of many has still not boon acted upon. Soo editorial for moro Information. (Photo by Staff) ^ A, C^dltorial ' Ends Odds N A burning question Hove you ever wondered what would happen in a town the size of Bloomsburg if there were a major fire? More specifically, what would happen if you were above the fourth floor of any building? Could you get out without being burned or suffocating from the fumes? On campus there are two buildings that come to mind when fire is mentioned — Elwell and Columbia , residence halls that together house over 700 women. In town there is the hospital, and the proposed housing for the elderly. There are monthly fire drills on campus. According to William Haney , chairman of fire and water for the Bloomsburg town council , water pumping equipment on campus is in good condition. The college just purchased three MSA's which are 30 minute air tanks", for rescue efforts. In a recent mock fire drill town fire fighters reached campus in four and a quarter minutes. How effective are all of these efforts in saving lives if people on the top floors of the buildings cannot be reached. Hypothetically, when an alarm sounds the buildings are evacuated. But what happens when there is a real fire? With all of the synthetic materials in buildings today, the toxic fumes will be more danger than the flames said Haney. What is needed , and what has been suggested to town council is the purchase of a 100 foot aerial rescue, truck at the cost of $230,000. Even though the truck could get people out , more importantl y it would get rescue in to those who could not be reached any other way. Even if funding can be found tomorrow , the truck would not be delivered for "14 months. According to Haney, council is now 'dragging its feet " until they hear about a loan for the purchase of the truck. In the past 2 years the town council has been putting $10,000 a year in an escrow account to go "toward the purchase of fire fighting equipment. The college has given $9,600 in the past two years "towards the purchase of fire fighting and/or rescue equipment for high-rise buildings. The figure repre- sents $4 per student as of September , 1976. Frank Davis, vice president for administration , has worked with the town council this summer. He said that althoug h the college has contributed in the past , they need to see "substantial progress " by the end of 1978. With this show of progress ,' it could be in the form of a letter of intent to purchase such equipment , the Board of Trustees will be more likely to agree to making an annual donation. At the September meeting, the Trustees questioned the progress of the truck by the town. Right now the necessity of purchasing the aerial rescue truck is being questioned by the town . The town of Danville, nine miles away , recently purchased such a truck. According to Haney, the Milton fire department said they could help with their aerial rescue truck in case of fire. But as Haney pointed out , the 25 minutes it would take them to got here would mean the difference of saving lives or losing them . The question that should be in the minds of the town council members and the college is not whether or not $230,000 is a lot of money, but whether the lives that could be saved are worth it. . Both the town and the college will benefit from the purchase from such rescue equipment . Action needs to- be taken by all parties concerned to insure the purchase of such a truck. Working together they will be more likely to find a source of funds . The sooner the purchase is made, the sooner a fire will be a situation that can be handled effectively. When considering the purchase of rescue equipment , the Trustees of the college shouldn 't just be questioning the progress of talks. The town and college shouldn 't consider who is going to benefit more, rather they should consider how many potentially lost lives can be saved. 9 Have you got the time? By BARB HAGAN "WHAT TIME IS IT?" Have you ever asked that question and received ten different answers simultaneously? Or have you ever traveled from one classroom to another within the same building and found extreme changes in time? Indeed the answers you receive depend upon the building and the classroom you're standing in when you ask it. If you're an off-campus student just forget it. There's no way that the time on the clock in jyour house or apartment is going to match up with the time indicated on the clocks in Bakeless, Haas, Kehr Union, or Carver Hall. 'Each building on the BSC campus contains within it, clocks who do their own thing. I never realized that when you travel up the hill from downtown you're entering a new time zone. That might sound a bit extreme but when you've been late for as many classes as I have you'll understand. EVery Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I come close to cardiac arrest as I reach Carver Hall and the clock reads U. The bell begins striking 11 and I race to make it to Hartline. The funny thing is that just as I reach the building 1 once again hear the ringing of 11. Sounds confusing but it's true. This would lead you to the obvious conclusion that I am on time for class BUT as I open the door to class I find that it has already begun. Try explaining that one to* me. When I do actually make it oh time to a class I receive strange stares from students who seem unfamiliar to me. Maybe that's because I've walked in on the earlier class. I give up. Let me give you another example of the demon-like behavior of clocks on this campus. Actually I do believe that they ( the clocks) have personalities all their own. The number one building for clocks with time deviations is Bakeless. (Maybe there should be an award for that highly coveted claim to fame). These clocks are known for their inaccuracies - every clock in the (continued on page four) Wax in my ears Technique adds to Lips by TOBY LOYD For all fans of contemporary acoustic guitar music, the name Leo Kottke should stand out immediately. He has won Guitar Player Magazine 's "Best Acoustic Guitarist" category for four years running. Kottke's music is as original as any being made today, and in most cases very much more so. Kottke himself is an absolutely spellbinding master of technique and expression, and his playing is so good it often scares me. His new album, "Burnt Lips" (he has a knack for coming up with some wierd titles) , like all his others, is simply incredible, and along with stunning instrumentals, contains the first vocal compositions he has written in three years. The album begins, unpredictably enough, with a Nick Lowe tune called "Endless Sleep." Kottke doing a Nick Lowe song? "Vive la 'diference!" At times Kottke's 12 - string sounds like a funky R&B string section. Very interesting stuff. "Sonora's Death Row", another first side highlight, (Actually every song on the album is a highlight, but space only allows me to drool so much) tells the story of a cowboy that flips out on mezcal and shoots his partner whom he thinks has robbed him As it turns out, he suddenly comes out of it and realizes that the mezcal was playing tricks (continued on page four) r^ TmcSBnTO' VOICE HI Ipt EH Business Manager Advertising Manager II News Editor I I I K| Feature Editor B Sports Editor Bloomsburg, PA 17815 Executive Editor John McGulre Ch.sley Harris Deb Ross , Mike Inclttl Jim Peff ley Elite Hatch Vol. LVII No. 11 "• ¦ j EiUen Callahan Photography Editor Mark Work Copy Editors Terry Sweeney, Sue Wright John Potrlello Circulation Manager .

Voice gripe TO THE EDITOR : I am beginning to question the credibility of the Campus Voice. I found several misleading and poorly quoted articles as well as a general attitude designed to kill the Shuttle bus Proposal. In response to the editorial "$$$ Hinder Bus Plan" Willard Bradley was quoted as saying; "Council is not guaranteed busses from the Catawese Line." In interviewing Bradley, he told me that this quote is misleading: because "The fact is that Catawese Line has authority over the Bloomsburg area. " In other words, Catawese Lines has exclusive rights over Bloomsburg for mass transportation systems. These rights were given to them by the state. Therefore, we either pay Catawese Lines for a shuttle bus system or appeal to the state for a license. An appeal could take from one to three years. "The bus routes to be used are not known." Bradley told me At first glance, I thought it was a random sampling of BSC students, but apparently it portrayed only the opinions and feelings of the Campus Voice. Why were Gert McGoff and Kathe Sophy polled? They are CGA representatives and had already expressed their views and feelings about the proposal at the first College Council meeting on September 25. I would like to see the Campus Voice publish accurate and unprejudice articles in hopes that it will once again regain its credibility. JAMES R.

(continued from page two) building reads a different time. Excuse me, some of them read the same time but it's the wrong time. Boy that's confusing. Not only do these mechanical marvels indicate the wrong time but the hands of the clocks have exercises right in the middle of class. There's nothing like sitting in your 9:30 a.m. class and looking up at the clock to see its hands rapidly movmg around in all directions. By the time the clock has finished its routine it's 4:30 p.m. Well, not really but that' s what the clock indicates. Can't somebody somewhere please fix the clocks? I know I can't but there must be someone on this entire campus, filled with college graduates, who is capable of getting these clocks to keep the correct time. Heaven knows that not every clock will read the same time but the ones within the same building should. So without further examples I leave you with BSC's new theme song, "DOES ANYBODY REALLY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" I don't!

It's an interesting story, and Kottke's husky voice and lamenting slide guitar spin it well. "The Quiet Man", a classical instrumental , is another gem. It is a perfect marriage of brilliant technique, pure emotion, and simple beauty. Side Two opens with three instrumentals , the most memorable being "The Credits: Out Takes From Terry 's Movie." The opening melody is strange and dark , evoking visions of twilight over a quiet countryside. But gradually the mood changes and an uplifting' major melody energetically lifts the darkness, and the countryside is flooded with light and activity. But just as gradually as the light melted away the darkness, so it slowly fades, and the haunting twilight melody returns and then slowly drifts quietly away.

This album (and all of Kottke's) is not quite as accessible as what you may be used to listening to, but that shouldn't stop you from giving it a thorough listening. The rewards far exceed the effort involved, and once your ears are primed, get ready for some intense musical orgasms. Kottke's music feels that good. i (continued from page three ) Walking to and from classes from off campus is normally no problem; however, it is difficult to forget nearly getting frostbite due to exposure to the harsh, cold wind and snow.

"You haven't said a word since we left the concert," she said concerned. "Is something wrong?" "Yeah, there's something wrong. You're damn right there is. There's something wrong when you pay attention to an artist and ignore what art's all about. Isn't an artist supposed to portray life?" "Of course." "And doesn't life, after all, take precedence over art?" "I suppose so." "Then how do you justify what you're doing, Mary Ellen? Why have you become such an ideological antique collector?"

Like the man sang at the concert tonight: "Mache dich mein Herze rein — "Make thee clean my heart from sin," right? Jesus, you're so blind! Can't you see what you've done? You're a psychological whore, Mary Ellen. You've been so hot after Bach and Blake and Plato and Aquinas and Locke and God only knows who else, that they've made you into their concubine. In a spiritual sense, I mean. Don't you realize that in "straining out the gnats" of a way of life which you don't approve of, you've "swallowed the camels" of alienation?" "If I wanted to be psychoanalyzed I'd have gone to see a psychiatrist. And if I'd wanted a sermon I'd have gone to church." "Damn it, woman, I love you! I care about you. That's why I'm telling you all this. Please believe me, Mary. I wouldn't ever do anything to hurt you. All I ask is that you open your heart If not to me, then to life at least. To hell with the dead minds you cling to—Live!" Mary Ellen was silent, and so was Pete when he realized that he was only enriching the carbon dioxide content of the air with his talking. It was pointless to go on, he knew. She had had enough. He pulled the Mustang in front of Elwell and gently touched her shoulder as she turned to get out, feeling her cringe slightly. "There's a concert up at Haas Sunday night— Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Will you go with me?" "You have some nerve to ask me that , Peter," was all she would say. "Goodnight, then." "Goodbye, Peter." She hurriedinto the lobby, her face a mask of fury and indignation. When Mary Ellen walked past the young women in the booths She felt as if each time they laughed they were laughing at her—as if somehow versed in her private humiliation. A sense of shame took hold of her, making sleep difficult. Her roommates had never known her to talk in her sleep, but sometime that night heard her cry out in some sort of somnambulistic triumph: "Live!" -END PTV- patronize our advertisers EARN CASH — Just show our inexpensive , attractive jewelry to your fellow students , sells on sight.

The BSC junior varsity squad also earned a win with a score of 2-0. The records of the teams now stand at 7-1 (varsity ) and 41 (JV) . The varsity game was not one of Bloomsburg's better efforts. Susquehanna consistently out hustled BSC, and the Huskies had difficulty generating any unified play. Though the team was happy to come away with the victory, the game left much to be desired. The contest did, however, have some high points for the Huskies. Early in the first half , freshman Joan Mahoney put BSC ahead, scoring on a pass from Lauren May. Before the half ended, Bloomsburg took a two goal lead when Robin Maurer scored on a shot from deep in che right corner. The second half contained the same sporadic play that characterized the first period, but the Huskies managed to add two more goals while holding SU scoreless. Terry McHale slipped a shot past the Susquehanna goalie. Less than five minutes later, Mahoney scored her second goal of the afternoon , giving Bloomsburg the 4-0 win. The BSC junior varsity improved on the style of piety seen in the first half . Bloomsburg held a 1-0 lead at halftime after Jane Reed scored the game winner midway through the period. Peggy Holgar capped a strong rush by pushing the ball into the cage for BSC's second goal during the second half. Gridders f ace WC After routing the Wilkes College football team last Saturday by a score of 32-6, the Husky gridders are hungry for another victory. Considering that their next opponent, the West Chester State College Golden Rams, are 0-5, the Huskies just might have their appetite satisfied. Bloomsburg, now 3-2, will face the Golden Rams Saturday at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at West Chester. This game will mark the beginning of the second half of the season, during which the Huskies hope to maintain a winning record.

Then the excitement started. With only a one goal lead, and two minutes left to play, a foul was called against BSC goalie Horst Befnhard. A penalty shot was taken by York player Scooter Fariing., It soared past Bernhard.. v but fortunately for the Huskies, it didn't count, as the referee hadn't given the player the signal to kick.
