Voting procedures outlined by SUE POTTER ^ Do you know who determines what kind of education you get? Do you carte? This second question is directed at each of you — students within the state college system-. As a student at BSC and a resident of Bloomsburg, it is your responsibility to vote on Nov. V, 19^8 for the candidates who will best support your college, "J, : David Greenwald, Professor of Sociology, remarks "by not voting you are casting a vote to show that you don't care. They can walk all over you." The candidate you vote for has an important effect on your education since the governor appoints the people who run the state college system: secretary of education, commissioner of higher education, president of the college, and, he proposesthe budget which determines the tuition that you pay. The state representative is also of major importance to state college students since he fights for money , and improvements (smaller classes; larger, faculty) while he is also in a positionto work against you if he feels that you don't care. To those of you with PHEAA grants, voting , is of grave importance. The state funds your grant and if your representative does not fight for these grants, you may not get them! While you are . a college Colleges to obtain legislative support Bloomsburg State College is participating in the effort of the Pennsylvania State Colleges and University to obtain legislative , support for a deficit appropriation bill and for a Capital Budget bill: Ms. Marian Schalm Furman; of Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania Association of State Colleges and University Faculty legislative coordinator; Dr. Robert Gates, of Edinboro State College; and Michael Sommers, also of APSCUF, visited Bloomsburg Tuesday for a conference with college administrators and union representatives, to discuss the college's financial problems that have resulted from underfunding. 1BSC President James McCormick is chairman of the Coalition Committee organized by the Commission for. Pennsylvania State Colleges and University to plan the legislative appeal. Information concerning the needs of the 14 state-owned colleges and universities will be presented to the legislators November 14. The goal is to obtain passage of House Bill 2834 which would provide a deficit appropriation of $16 million for the State Colleges and University, and of the Capital Budget Bill. The Capital Budget Bill would provide funding for a new . Human Services building as well as for other badly needed projects. Students and parents are being asked to join the effort, by writing to their legislators or by contacting them to urge support for these bills. student, the results of state and local elections have more effect on your life than does a presidential election, simply because the state representatives deal directly with state colleges and the president is quite removed from the situations here on campus. , The voting procedure will be similar to last year's sgorting a less complex ballot. Directions for voting, as presented'by the election board, follow : After you have stated your name, you will be given an IBM card to sign. The election officer will . compare the signature on the card with your signature in the register. If they are the same, he-She will make an entry on your registration card, and you will be allowed to vote. You will receive a folded paper ballot. When you go into the voting booth, be careful to mark it exactly according to instructions -r If you make a mistake, do not erase. Instead, give the spoiled ballot back in return for another one. After you vote, refold the ballot, and BE SURE TO TEAR THE NUMBERED STUB OFF.

(Photo by Mprk Work) "National sorority formed" Tau Sigma Pi sorority has begun steps toward being a national sorority, Alpha Sigma Tau. Since Oct. 3, Alpha Sigma Tau has been national as far as the campus goes, buf it's still a colony as far as the rest of the country, said Alpha Sigma Tau president Tricia Grosse. We feel that the move would benefit the sorority, spread it throughout the country with alumni groups so that sorority life wouldn't end at graduation, said Grosse. The sorority will be a colony for six months and then will go through initiation to become a nationalchapter, Grosse said, and the sisters will become the founding sisters. This semesters pledge class will be the first for the new sorority. An alumniadvisor from Shippensburg'State College will be their colony advisor along with their present advisor. Parties involve liabilities by MIKE MIXELL Off campus parties have been the subject of much interest recently. Students who have parties must keep one very important point in the back of their minds: If you serve a drink to a person who is visably intoxicated, you can be held liable for , damages caused to third persons by the intoxicated person. In Pennsylvania the law used to state that only bartenders or people selling liquor were liable, for damages caused by a person served intoxicants while that person was visibly drunk. The responsibility has now. .. been extended to any person- who serves a visibly intoxicated person. The effect of this law places a tremendous burden on anyone giving anybody a drink. The case that extended this responsibility to private persons was Gardina V. Soloman. It is worth mentioning because a social fraternity which allegedly served liquor to an intoxicated minor was held civily liable for injuries to a third person allegedly caused by the intoxicated minor. It was not important that the in-, toxicated person was a minor, the point is that he was served while being visibly intoxicated. The college community must be aware of this liability for self-protection. If you do have a party, keepan eye on the people present. You will benefit in the long run by sending someone home early; as opposed to being sued when the drunk person damages someone or something. by BARB HAG AN Be ready to. grab rakes, shovels and trash . bags as Bloomsburg State College students, f a culty, a dministration and staff are ready for a day's work during BSC's first clean-up day ! On Sunday, November 12 beginning at 1 p.m.,-BSC members will take equipment in hand and help clean-up debris left by the fall season. The project, organized by a group of interested students and staff , will involve all BSC members in a voluntary cleanup of campus grounds. Some of the tasks to be done by those participating include: removing stones from team practice , fields, raking and bagging leaves , removing debris from drainage grates and the Redman Stadium football stands, and the cleaning-up of the Tri-Level Parking Lot area. The organizing group ( Cleanup Committee) hopes that students will leave their studies for a few hours to particpate in this worthwhile outdoor activity. All those interested in particpating in the clean-up are urged to meet in the Waller Administration Building Parking lot at 1 p.m. on Sunday November 12. The various tasks will be assigned and equipment distributed at this time. All BSC members are asked to contribute whatever time they can to this all out clean-up effort.

Guberna torial race
A look at the candidates
Dick
Thornburgh
the
Republican candidate for
governor is 46 years old and' a
native of Pittsburgh.
He was the U. S. Attorney for
Western Pennsylvania from
1969 tO 1975. In July 1975
President Ford named him
Assistant U. S, Attorney
General. .
According to a recent AP
report , the former federal
prosecutor needsa strong crossover vote to win because the
democrats outnumber his party
by a 824,000 registration
margin.
His campaign theme is "The
only way to clean up Harrisburg
is to clean it out And you can't
trust any Democrat to do it,"
Thornburgh's running mate is
Bill Scranton, 30.
The Republican candidate's
stand on some of the issues of
the election are as follows:
Thornburgh says, the state
should "help employers meet
environmental standards in
addition to enforcing those
standards.
As far as the issue of
marijuana goes, Thornburgh
says he would not support such
a change, but he would not
make possession of marijuana a
top law enforcement priority.
Thornburgh wants to lower
the drinking age, but the change
must be coupled with stricter
enforcement of drunken-driving
laws and he is against the sale
of beer in grocery stores.
Dick Thornburgh
We urge you
¦ to.
Peter Flaherty
State rep resentatives
Pete Flaherty the Democratic
candidate for governor is 53
years old.
He was mayor of Pittsburgh
for seven years from 1969 to
1976. In 1977 he was appointed
Deputy U. S. Attorney General
by President Carter.
According to a recent AP
report, Flaherty has scorned his
own party because outgoing
Governor Milton Shapp "has
seen scores of underlings in his
democratic administration
found guilty of wrongdoing in
office.
The former Pittsburgh mayor
said his first priority is "to fire
Shapp's pals and cronies."He feels his biggest asset is
his administrative experience
as chief executive of the state's
second largest city.
Flaherty 's running mate is
Robert P. Casey.
The Democrat candidate's
stand on some of the issues of
the election are as follows: .
Flaherty has called for more
r ealistic environmental
programs recognizing the need
to.preserve jobs as well as the
need to preserve the environment."
Legislative
making
possession of small amounts of
marijuana a civil offense
punishable by a small fine
would be supported and signed
by Flaherty.
Flaherty favors retaining the
current legal drinking age of 21,
and he is undecided about the
sale of beer in grocery stores.
Integrity a major issue
Ted Stuban, Democra t
candidate for re-election to the
congressional seat of the 109th
District, is 50 years old. He went
to Berwick High Schoor -and
Wyoming Seminary.
In an interview with a panel of
Press-Enterprise reporters, the
freshman legislator said the
interest in restoring integrity is
reflected in the number of
reform-type bills brought
before the house. These reform
bills stemmed from the
widespread corruption present
within
the Shapp administration, :
,iv
•,
Stuban sees a".* need! Jfor
Bloomsburg and Berwick to jo in
forces in an effort to draw industry into the area.
During the last budget crisis,
Stuban voted for passage of the
final budget, although he had
previously voted against tax
increases, Stuban said he voted
for the financial plan because it
had been proposed as a no-tax
budget and it contained items
beneficial to the district _
He said some of the beneficial
items were redevelopment
money, school supplies, court
costs, and Bloomsburg State
College appropriations. "It was
a good budget as far as I'm
concerned."
T0d Stuban
Republican David Millard
was born in 1953 in Columbia
County. He was educated in the
Bloomsburg Area Schools and
attended BSC until 1974 when he
accepted- a position at the
nuclear power plant..
. The flood of 1972 and sur>
sequent dealings with governmental red tapeare two major
reasons Millard is seeking this
position. .'„
The 25 year old Republican
told a . panel of Press - Enterprise reporters that the key
issues facing the district are
flood control and attracting
industry which he believes are
related.
Integrity is also a major issue
with the voters, Millard said.
"I'm just a common person.
I'm interested in government. I
believe in honest government
and I am honest."
DavidMilla rd
The former BSC student said
a fairer system of determining
college appropriations is
needed. Using BSC as an
example, he said that while BSC
has more students than many
other colleges, they do not
receive proportionate funds
from the state. Millard said
state funding should be
allocated on a per-student basis.

With the upcoming elections , how do you feel
about corruption in the government?
; Mr. William C. Zehringer.
part-timeEnglish instructor —
I think the most important Issue
is the restoration of public
confidence in elected officials.
The real cpst of corruption is a
loss of faith in representative
government.
Peter Prinz, freshman — The
problem is that there is too
much corruption going on
without too many people
knowing about it. The thing is
that it affects all on us, and it
will take all of us to dc
something about it.
George Calisto, seniory— *
Corruption does not solely exist
within the government. It also
finds itself within the apathetic
and sometimessqualid minds of
the general public.Debauchery
plagues contemporary society
in all respects.
Megen L. Wimams, j^njpi:
^
Everyone'in* politics today has
gotten somewhere by doing
something for someone, so
corruption is natural — to a
degree. Pennsylvania needs to
clean house , and a man like
Thornburgh has a better
reputation than others.
Tim Hough, senior, —To rid
our state government of
corruption would mean a
reevaluation of almost every
elected official and appointee
now in office , then start over
from scratch^
John Trathen , Assistant
Director of Student Activities—
It is unfortunate that we have
corruption in our government
•system. However, I'm glad to
see that steps are being taken
through our legal system to
reduce the problem. Perhaps if
we all express our concern via
the voting booth, we will only
have honest politicians in the
future.
"Mac " Robert Macintosh,
sopHomore r- I'm not going to
vote, because I feel it not worth
it. One vote won't really matter;

College Union buildings were
-new capital projects back in the
1930's. The students at B.S.C.
were no different from other
college students when they
asked the college
administration to build a Union in
1939. The solution as proposed
by Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, past
President of B.S.C, was ' to
invest excess student funds and
save for the future construction
of a student union. •
The decision to help with the
financing of a student union was
approvedby the College Council
of the CommunityGovernment
Association. This set the stage
for setting funds aside for the
future. Funding of this major
undertaking came from the
profits of the College Store and
one-half of the present day
Community~Activities Reserve

account.
After accummulating approximately $600,000 in 1969, a
request was submitted to the
Pennsylvania state legislature
in Harrisburg for a student
union building capital appropriation.
The
Commonwealth provided $650,000
toward the construction of the
Union. However, because the
time factor in requesting the
funds and approval was longer
than anticipated, the original
already
allocation
had
"shrunk" through infaltion.

Self-Supporting Union
Offers Variety
The Kehr Union is a selfsupporting organization with
the Governing Board providing
for the Union's administration.
The associated pie charts on
this page show the relative
income and expense percentages.. The total operating
budget for 1978-1979 is $150,722.
Under expenses, the Program
Board is provided funds to
sponsor activities such as
dances, 'movies, tournaments,
and special events ~- Annual
Dance Marathon, Night at the
Races, Casino Night, Arts and
Crafts Shows, etc. Most events
held in the KUB are presented
by the Program Board.
Income is from various
sources ; most notably the
College Store. In order to
provide activities, the profits
from the College Store are
transferred to the Kehr Union.
Profits are made on nonessential items such as t-shirts,
mugs, and greeting cards. Most
educational items are offered at
a discount of between 5 and 20
per cent from the recommended
retail price. The Bowling Alley,
Games Room and Snack Bar
also generate income for use by
the Governing Board. The
budgets are presented in detail
on the bottom portion of this

With the $10 increasein the Community Activities Fee this year,
the annual operating budget for 1978-79 is $449,340. In addition, the
Reserve for Refunds and New Projects account has over $58,000

available are generated from activities fees. Other income
producting areas are admissions to athletic events, concerts, the
Bloomsburg Players productions, vending machine commissions,
interest from investments, chargesfor using C.G.A. vehicles, and
miscellaneous items. The vending machine income includes
machines throughout the campus except for the Kehr Union

facilities, the Arts Council programs, the college student
newspaper, the college yearbook, HomecomingWeekend, Parents'
Weekend, the All College Calendar, Big Name Concerts, the
Bloomsburg Players productions, all student musical

Using excess funds which are
not currently needed for
operations, all student funds are
invested in the B.SC. Investment Portfolio. By combining
excess funds, larger amounts
may be used to purchase
commercial certificates of
deposit, which musCbe in excess of $100,000 to be eligible for
higher interest rates.
The funds are divided into
approximately equal amounts
and one of the C.D.'s matures
each month to ensure funds are
available for the following
month's operating expenses.
The same day a CD.
matures, another one is purchased in order not to lose any
available interest. If $300,000 is
being invested at the current
rate of 8.2 per cent, $68 wouldbe
lost if there was a one day delay
between maturity and purchase
date.
The highest possible interest
rates are almost guaranteed by
allowing ten local banks to
"bid" on the CD. Whichever
bank is willing to give the
highest interest rate, that bank
is awarded the certifcate. If
two or more banks indicate the
same interest rate, the CD; is
divided equally provided each
bank receives at least $100,000.
If this is not possible, a rotation
process begins with the bank
not receiving a certificate
recently, being awarded the
CD.

Providing funds to the Kehr
Union is important, however,
service is still the keyword in
the College Store operation.
Many new services are added
each year and this year is no
different. The most noteworthy,
yet least known service, is the
use ,of the B.S.C computer to
aid the textbook buyer in
analyzing
the
textbook
requirements
for • each
semester. By using the computer as a storage and clearing
facility for the huge amounts of
information needed to order the
right number of books, the
process has become more efficient thereby causing fewer
last minute orders, "out-ofprint" books, and "out - of stock" books.As this system is

developed, the hope is to use the
computer for all phases of the
College Store management. y
Another service instituted
this year is mini-charge accounts for incoming Freshmen.
By making advance deposits in
an account, students were able
to "charge" for purchases of all
merchandise. Expansion of this
program is already being
considered to include upperclassmen and eventually to
where B.S.C. College Store
charge cards are issued as in
the case of VISA or Master
Charge,
If you would like to see a
product sold in the College Store
or if you need help in finding
merchandise, talk to the College
Store Manager, Mr. William
Bailey. He'll be glad to serve
you.
