Council establishes parking ordinance by SAM RUBBICO ." TheTown of Bloomsburg has established Ordinance 642 with a T>-2 vote s, of Town Council Monday night. This ordinance prohibits parking in the defined areas unless there is a decal on the bumper of the car. Outsiders are hot allowed to park their vehicles on these streets between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday excepting holidays and commercial vehicles loading or unloading. Under this ordinance, parking permits will be issued free of charge, to any resident of the said area. Stickers will be free for two cars, but each additional sticker costs $60 annually. The penalty for violation of Ordinance 642 shall be $10 for the first offense and $25 for all subsequent violations. Vehicles will - be towed away at the owner's expense if the car is parked for more than three days in that area. ; Upon , adoption ot this ordinance, there was a town meeting Oct 23. A number of peopleprotested the ordinance. They said it would not benefit 'them. One argument came from a woman who owned a small business. She said there wouldn't be any place for the customers to park without ¦violating the ordinance. Others jpushed for the approval, .however. iTwenty-f our of the towns-i people affected by the ordinance voted in favor of the pact. Only eight opposed. A motion was made by the council. It was seconded. The new ordinance was accepted after a vote by the council. It will be a while before it takes effect as signs have to be posted and stickers distributed. It should be in use by January 1, 1979, as decided by council. An issue brought up by the in this area were walking council displayed the college's i throughyardsand leaving-their significance; This was the ' cars therefor a week at a time. The collegeput forward some movementof boys out of Elwell Hall. Since many boys had cars, general provisions which inthey found it convenient to park, cluded Article 1, Section 101 on the streets behind Elwell. I (Eligibility). It states, "Fresh) men and sophomores living on Along with Ordinance 642, 'campus are not eligible to BSC played a prominent role in ; operate and - or park a motor alleviating the problems that vehicle on the campus of residents had. The town council, Bloomsburg State College at any time, reserves the right to terminate Ordinance 642 if it is decided it is not actually heeded. unless special permission has been granted by the Traffic x Committee." This provision itself cancels out one-half of the student body. . If the Traffic Committee does give permission, you must park ' in the designatedarea assigned; to you. Parking anywhere else ; on campus would lead to a? ' - ' . .; ticket. The problem was mainly the section of East Second Street, East Third, East Fourth, Oak Lane, and Spruce Street. The people in this area have drawn up a petition to put a stop to commuters and college students parking in front of their houses because the residents cpuldn't find a parking place. Also, the people who parked Surdoval explains bus system The idea of implementing a shuttlebus system for college students came about as the result of three separate surveys which indicated an interest by the student body in persuing it. The referendum that was held in September was put on the ballot in good faith. The idea was to "let the students decide" if having the shuttlebus system was worth the $63,000 that Catawese Coach Lines ( the bus company that has the rights to mass transit systems in this area ) quoted as the price of such a system. _ The method of funding and exact routes and schedules were then to be decided by College Council after a series of public hearings if the referendum passed. The referendum did pass. Unfortunately, there was not enough publicity before the referendum (in the minds of most students, including myself) . to legitimize the results. If students want-to help the student body they should channel their energy towards finding a solution. Nothing is happening with the referendum because Catawese has since raised the amount the College Council has not appropriated funds from any account. I think this gives us a golden opportunity to hold off on any hasty action and instead investigate other alternatives such as looking into possible state and-or federal funding of such a system. This idea was suggested by County Commissioner Carol Hidlay. Tfie Alliance of Student Voters proposal Was not passed in the referendum. The wording of the question only called for a shuttlebus system. Therefore, an alternative proposal to implement routes outside of a one-half mile radius would have been and is still just as much in iorder. i I would like to appoint a 'committee of dedicated people 'to ,-seriously explore all possibilities and recommend a proposal. This can only work if people that care about this issue will come forward and volunteer to serve on this important committee. s Persons interested may call I jthe CGA Office (389-3621) I look forward to a positive response. by MICHELLE A.

The problem could start as a small fire but turn into a disaster if the only solution is dependency on the Bloomsburg Fire Company, according to a spokesman of the Liberty Fire Co. on Leonard St. The spokesman said that there is faulty equipment, and that at a recent drill , out of seven pieces of equipment shown, three .have very shakey operational capacities. There is also a problem with a fire in a building over three stories high, 'because there is no .' truck available that can extinguish a fire over three stories. As of now, a 1963 G.M.C, pumper is in use. Also, the fire company cannot properly perform an emergency rescue because of a \lack of equipment.

SUKOWASK I Oct. 6 marks the day the fight for human dignity began by four unions comprised of 220 Wilkes-Barre newspaper employees. The employees were forced into the street by a New York based corporation, Capital Cities, pledging to return to their jobs only when their dignity is ensured. . When the publishing company was purchased in May of 1978, management started renovations. The installation of an eight foot chain link fence topped with barbed wire, the installation of surveillance cameras equipped for sound and the installation of shatterproof window glass were among these renovations.

Sukowaiki) ^\ C^avtorval Odds N Ends Party policy unfair What are you doing Friday, going to a party? No, we can't party, the administration says so. What ! Since when can the administration interfere in our social lives? Well, it's a long story. Open parties are not a new problem in the Bloomsburg community. According to Jerrold Griffis , Vice President for .Student Life, "Due to concern expressed by the town, a committee was formed to propose an official college policy concerning off campus, open parties." > . . . Two points of the policy are as follows: (1) "Should a recognized organization conduct such a party, the case will be referred to a joint Stucjent-Foculty-Administration Hearing Committee which will impose appropriate sanctions. " (2) Students who are responsible for conducting (open parties) will be in defiance of college policy. When asked if the college was infringing on the fights of students as citizens of the United States in proposing such a policy, Griffis stated that he.was not sure. He outlined the following reasons for the drafting of such a policy: concern for town-gown relationships; the need to ,make students aware of their responsibilities as town residents; concern for liability of student officers ; concern for actions reflecting on the college — particularly recognized organizations. Griffis also made a point of the fact that fraternity and sorority leadership have expressed a concern and have assisted in drafting the proposed party policy. Whether or not the college administration is concerned about town-college relationships is not the problem of the party policy. The document suggests that the college is going to monitor the social life of students who live offcampus. Are students of the college allowed a home life, separate of the educational institution? Certainly the relationships of town residents and college students is and has been a delicate subject. However , just because students do attend the college does not permit them to be dealt with as second class citizens.Students concerned about their rights , even the right to attend parties, should not dismiss the proposed policy from their minds. When the college administration acts"to curtail even one aspect of the parties off campus, students should be concerned. Letters to the editor and photo forum are only a sampling of the feelings from students. Maybe parties should be controlled a little more than they are, but NOT by the administration. A social life is the business of the individual - whether he is a vice president, dean or student. If parties are a problem, the way to handle it is not to threaten students with records. If students are threatened in this manner, they should give their opinions directly to Student Life. After all, the silent majority can't be heard unless they make an effort. r 1 Ii 1 I I I I ^ . • .

As you can see I'm ready, but how about you ? Linus that world famous Peanuts character and devoted follower of the Great Pumpkin says, "Halloween is becoming a forgotten holiday. We dedicated followers of the Great Pumpkin (GP) must do something to rekindle the Halloween spirit. Let us not rest until the universe resounds with pumpkin carols!" Yes, there are such things as pumpkin carols and we followers of the GP must see that you Halloween celebrators are aware and that you will fjtt the earth with Halloween sounds on Tuesday. Halloween carols sound a great deal like Christmas carols except that the words are extremely different. For instance that old familiar tune, "I'm Dreaming of a Great Pumpkin," stirs fond memories in us all. You know the words : "I' m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin, Just like I do this time each year. When he brings nice toys To good girls and boys Who wait for him to appear, etc..." Naturally I don't expect you to know the words by heart now, but I will expect you to be singing them loud and clear on Tuesday. Not only do we Great Pumpkin followers sing pumpkin carols but we wait in pumpkin the GP until patches rises up out of the pumpkin patch and brings goodies for us all. I'm sure that many of you don't v believe in the Great Pumpkin, I guess you don't think there's an Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy either. Well anyway on next Tuesd*ay remember that in honor of all the GP followers around the world you must go to a nearby pumpkin patch and wait for the Great Pumpkin to appear. If you're too busy to bother than just remember to sing a pumpkin carol and pass it along to a friend. For your convenience I'm including a pumpkin carol hi its entirety and remember to really belt this song out ori Halloween. The song is Shivery Yells (Not to be confused with that popular Christmas Carol Silver Bells). I'm sure you know the tune ! ~ . ¦ by MARY WELLS How did spooky ideas begin? Almost every civilization has its own version of Halloween , stemming from the universal fear and mystery of death. Skulls, bones, skeletons and ghosts frequently symbolize the death festival. . Because the sun represents life and darkness represents death, there was much fear in primitive cultures surrounding the possibility of the sun going out altogether. When the sun "died" in the evening, there was fear it was murdered and would never be seen again. Each morning sunrise was reassuring. In ancient Egypt, a kind of Halloween was reenacted regularly by the death of Osiris, King of the Dead. In Mexico , the annual Halloween is celebrated by honoring the Day of the Dead, an old Indian practice. Thfe most generalized form of celebrating this day is what is know n as "calaveras" or "skulls", consisting in witty allusions or epitaphs or relatives, friends/or celebrities, well-known personalities in politics, sports or other spheres — written or drawn epitaphs..A possible modern example: Like the sweetest, __ or only the latest? You can. :have ;Jots, of, fun making up your own epitaphs about anyone you know — like the instructor who underrated you at midterm? A' delightful experience in Halloween fantasy can be had by reading Ray Bradbury 's The Halloween Tree. A juvenile story, it can nevertheless be enjoyed by anyone. It points1 up the antiquity and universality of preoccupation with death and the imaginative ways devised of copying with it. Meanwhile, have a nice Halloween. May the spooks and hobgoblins tickle your » • funny bone, but not scare you to death. We're on sidewalks, we're on porches, Dressed in costumes to scare. Through the city we're ringing, the doorbells.

In the past only on campus students were subjected to a trampling of their constitutional rights by the so called advocate of the students. (1 am of course referring to ^the infamous ''Administrative search warrant'') Now this same group of "student advocates" have decided to extend their moral fiefdom to the off campus students. (I refer to the off campus party policy as printed in this paper) . In Mr. MJxeU's article he pointed out Various reasons why this policy clearly violated our constitutional rights. I agree with these points wholeheartedly, and would also like to add that nowhere can I find any law allowing the college to enforce rules against anyone residing in a private residence. Apparently our friends who drafted this policy do not realize that we as students are not second class citizens, and that we do have the same legal rights of every other American citizen. Unfortunately for student life the Rights guaranteed us by the US Constitution do not end once we cross Light Street road and become college students. It would seem as though our beloved administration will find this out the first time they attempt to enforce this policy. Jeff Hunsicker Member BloomsburgState College Board of Trustees Surdoval on policy TO THE EDITOR In response to the excellent art icle written by Mike Mixell and published in .the October 20, 1978 issue of the Campus Voice concerning the proposed off-campus party policy, I would like to reply with the following observations and comments: 1. The "recent meeting of administration and interested students" was not publicized to the entire student body so that all students who wanted to could participate in the drafting of the policy. ' ' 2. The doctrine of in loco parentis is dead at all American colleges and universities. The courts did not exempt Bloomsburg State College ! Student Life, therefore, has no right to interfere in the lives and parties of off-campus students; nor does it have any jurisdiction oyer what on-campus stuaenis do when they are off college property. 3.

He was quiet, softspoken, with a natural friendly manner. At that time, Jim and his wife Elaine had their family Well underway, with three small children: Mary Beth, Jane, and Jeff. I remember well how these three kids were able to consume prodigious amounts of food, at all hours of the day, to the great amusement and satisfaction of their father. When our daughter Lisa was born the following year, the McCubbin family informally "adopted" her. Jim was a family man in the true sense of the word, and his home was a haven of love and security. The big fella (as I always thought of him) and I got along well from the start. Perhaps one of our bonds was our military service. He had been a Marine, and I had been a Paratrooper, and we were able to lose ourselves in our own world. The conversations in this context usually became quite earthy, but, then, these cultural periods of our lives had left their marks upon us. It takes only two soldiers to revive the camaraderie of those former days, and Jim seemed to relish these particular sessions. Jim's greatest asset was his sense of loyalty. Loyalty to his family, to his church, to his college, to the college teams, to his department, and to his students. He gave freely of his time and talents to his church, and each Christmas season Bill Hess's Tavern am!am\J ^&^^ ' played a prominent part in the religious pageants. He served on numerous committees at the college and within the department and always fulfilled these responsibilities most conscientiously. Jim was possibly the college's number one booster. He loved all types of sports and rarely missed a game or a meet. Not only did he attend all home contests but went to many of the away games as well. Jim approached his classes with great dedication. His preparation was thorough, and he expected much . of his students. I noticed that even though he demanded that his students work, few dropped from his classes. Yes, the big fella had many fine qualities, but perhaps the thing I'll always remember about him was nis ability to sense a man's* utter loneliness and his willingness to reach out and give you his friendship. On one occasion, Jim and I did a scene from Steinback's Of Mice and Men. Of course, he was Lenny, and I was George. In real life it was Jim who was always ready to help someone. The church was filled for the memorial service for.Jim. One was reminded of a line from Ingersoll's eulogy to his brother: "Were everyone to whom he had done a kindness to place a flower upon his grave, he would sleep tonight beneath a mountain of flowers." I'm going to miss the big fella. A friend — ' ..

Approximately28 students from BSC attended along with 41 students from Lycoming College, BuckneU, and Susquehanna Universities, Students departed from BSC by helicopter early Saturday morning. They were transportedto Camp Karoondinha, located about 45 miles west of Bloomsburg. The purpose of the weekend activity was to help ROTC students improve their military skills. Weekend activities included orienteering,ropebridging, physicaltraining,and a leadershipreaction course.Mini-coursesincamouflageandnight infiltration werealso ; conducted. Theorienteering exerciseconsistedof two courses, one designed for beginners and one for experiencedstudents. Each participant was given a compass and a map marked with the coursepoints. The goal was to find all the points on the map and arrive at the finish point in the least amount.of time. The night infiltration course demonstratedthe proper technique to use in approaching an unsuspectingenemy. Students were taught how to avoidtrapsset by the enemy andhowto crawl sothat the enemy neither sees or hears them approach.' Physical training was held Sunday morning before breakfast; Students did calisthenicsand ran one mile. The leadership reaction course consisted of seven different situations. Selected students were put in charge of a group ol people.Theleaders were responsiblefor successfullysolving each situation. One of the. situations required students to simulate escape from a POW camp. The weekend ended with an award ceremony. Two BSC teams tied for first place andanotherteamtiedBucknell in the leadership reaction course.Students on the winning teams received Military Achievement Ribbons.

Capital Cities said that the changes were for routine security but it is a known fact that according to union personnel, there have been no major incidents of vandalism at the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company. Members of the union believedthat the companywas preparingfor a strike. SECURITY GUARDS OBTAINED i ^ The above occurred in the early part of the summer, other incidents followed: variousemployeeswere asked to turn in their union cards and become part of management; ID cards were issued and employees had to be checkedin and out of the building; and, to top it off, a small army of Wackenhutsecurityguardswere obtained. When the strike occurred, the private army of Wackenhut * securityguardsswelledto a force of 100to 200men. Local peoplewere shockedby the actionsof Capital Cities. Tens of: thousandsof people cancelledthe Times-Leadersubscriptions, the newspaper of the Wilkes-BarrePublishing Company, and subscribedto The Citizens' Voice, the strike paper started by the Wilkes-Barre Council of NewspaperUnions. The Citizens' Voice plannedto publish30,000 paperson their first day cf publication (October 9) but theirfinal circulationfigure for the day was 45,000 papersbecause of the overwhelmingresponseof the residents of Wyoming Valley. VIOLENCE MARS STRIKE Violence has been a major factor in the strike. Late Monday afternoon (October 9) Wackenhut security guards hired by the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company sprayed a fire hose-and fire extinguisher chemicals outside the comapny's barbed wire compound with no regard for the safety of picketers, passers-by or children.The incident resultedin one striking employee being temporarily blinded when he was sprayed in the eyes and numerouspickets, passer-byand policemen falling victimsto the latest tactics by th^_company. Thelatest actsof violence on the picket line were in the form of a brawl and the burning of newspapers published by the WilkesBarre Publishing Company. The newspaperswere set afire by unknown persons. Because of thesr incidents of violence, the mayor of WilkesBarre, Walter W. Lisman,j issued an emergency order to curtail furtheracts of violence. COURTINJUNCTION DECLARED The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Companyowners filed for a court injunction limiting the numberof picketers. Ironically, the unions were allowed more picketers than theyalreadyhad in use. The harassment hasn't only been directed at the unions. Newspaper carriers aged 12 to 17 are being harassed by the company, Many of these boys andgirls arebeing reducedto the point of cryingby the cruel anticsof the employeesof Capitol Cities. GUARDS ARRAIGNED Various Wackenhut security guards were arraigned for crimes ranging from reckless endangerment to rape. John Berry and Smittie James (see photo 2) were arraigned on charges of reckless endangerment and simple assault when they ran downa picketer While the Citizens' Voice publisheda newspaper, the Times-Leader did not publish the first week of the strike because of acts of violence. Union andcompany officials are waiting for the federal mediator to arrive in order to resume contract negotiations. Union officials say, that it's going to be a long struggle but the people of the four unions are not going to give up until their dignity is ensured.

Main St. Bloomsburg 784-2747 "thestore with the dock P»t front " ( continued from page one) Since 1973, Liberty Fire Co., Bloomsburg has been waiting for a new truck with an 85 foot ladder and bucket to help handle fires in larger buildings. The most recent request was made again in .July 1977. Specifications for a truck were handed in, and at that time a truck would have cost $192,000.00. At this point the same truck will range about $230,000.00, with the price going up as of the first of the year. Every year, the Community Government ^Association of B.S.C. (C.G.A.) contributes $9600.00 to Town Council to set aside and help finance a new fire truck. The Liberty Fire Company spokesman said that there is mismanagement of the funds appropriated for the purchase of a new truck . Another attributing factor which can cause more of a problem is the dissention between the four fire companies, Liberty 40, Leonard -St ; Winonas 90; Center St. ; Friendship 10, 7th St. ; and Rescue 20, 5th St. The spokesmanpointed out that any lack of organization at a fire for example, could result in serious complications. To alleviate the situation, there should be more and constant public support, hi said. "It seems only a fatal fire will make the public aware of what's going on." He feels that the money is available, but that no effort is being made, including any by Town Council, to aid the fire company.
