BLAUCH BSC students majoring in either Information Processing (IF ) or Computer and Information Science (CIS ) will encounter a new system for scheduling classes this spring. The new system, recently approved by the Data Processing Organization here on campus, will affect fall 1981 class schedules and will be initiated during this spring 's course selection period. Department chairpersons, Fred Bierly and Harold Baily, of IF and CIS respec:tivislyyjhay e been wdrkiiigritiff ieff iwsystem along with the IP-CIS faculty. The system entails several requirements which all IP-CIS majors must adhere to when scheduling, according to Baily. Firs t, each student will register for courses as usual in the spring after a session with his or her advisor. The schedules then received by the student will show all computer courses listed as "not scheduled. Next, all IP-CIS students second must attend a scheduling session on either Wednesday, April 22 , or Thursday, April 23. The sessions will be open throughout these two days from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hartline Science Center, Room 225. The student must bring his schedule form to the session as only IP-CIS maj ors will be scheduling during this time. Next, each student will sign up for each wanted computer C(jurse ;4in-ithepresence ^pf an IP-cW faculty member. These course selections will then be entered by computer into the student's schedule through the registrar's office! Finally, IP-CIS students are cautioned that no pink slips will be granted. Non-majors wishing to schedule a computer course may do so during regular schedule change periods. Again, no ink slips will (Continued on Pag* 5) Two proposals submitted by the Commonwealth Association of Students Foundation ( CASFOUND) Project Review Panel have been approved by the Representative Assembly thus far this semester. The first to be passed was the Course Requirements and Progress Information proposal. This requires faculty members to distribute, within the first full week of class, a written description of their individual grading practices, course requirements , attendance policy if it affects the final grade and the weighted averages of the various requirements for final grade computation. It also requires procedure include: ..;. 1. Taking grievances out of the Judicial System, where they are currently being heard, and placing them under the appropriate areas of jurisdiction. 2. Taking the Vice-President out of the informal channels so that his decision can be made on the basis of hearing evidence and the Grievance Board' s recommendation (although he does not have to implement this recommendation) . . 3. Establishing a Grievance Coordinator, who will be a contact person for students to find out their rights and responsibilities in filing . a grievance, and who will afsVbe (Continued on Page 6) Green Thumb promotes American Energy Week Green thumb ; employees uirbughout Pennsylvania will be gathering signatures for "A Declaration of Energy Independence " campaign during American Energy Week, March 15-21, 1981.

The most recent proposal to be passed was a new NonAcademic Grievance Procedure. This will replace the present Student Grievance process, and will be the system by which students may grieve "complaints of alleged injustices relating to violation, misinterpretation or discriminatory application of non-academic policies and procedures and - or the conduct nonprofessional , of professional and student employees."

Housing discrimination to be discussed T f Mp v .'--' -r-j ^i)(ii^L-" rI .QiTrL'I ^ In a recent off campus housing student survey , many respondents claimed to have been . the victims of discrimination while searching for off campus housing. This is not unusual in a rural college town the size of Bloomsburg. Discrimination in housing assumes many forms; some obvious , others more subtle. The best way for students to combat discrimination is to learn to recognize the various forms discrimination takes and to know how state and federal law protects them against such illegal practices. The college Housing Office has .arranged a prdgramtwhich^vitliiio'justjthat. This program , entitled "Discrimination in Off Campus Housing ", will be presented at 3 p.m. and again at 7 p.m . on Tuesday, March 24, 1981 in Multipurpose Room "B" of the Kehr Union. Mr. Henry Smith , a representative from HUD (Philadelphia office) is the featured speaker. His presentation promises to give us all a better understanding of discrimination and the remedies available to would-be victims. So don 't miss this opportunity ! Tuesday, March 24 -—a date to remember . Commencement sp eaker named Rise Stevens , internationally acclaimed opera singer and noted motion picture , television , and recording personality, will be the principal speaker at the Bloomsburg State College Spring Commencement Convocation on Saturday, May 16, at the Bloomsburg Fair Grounds at 2:00 PM. Her appearance on the platform will be particularly significant as the college will be graduating its first class of baccalaureate degree music majors . Miss Stevens has enjoyed one of the great careers in modern American musical history. Born in New York , as a young student she studied at the Juilliard School and was offered a contract at the Metropolitan Opera . However , she wisely elected to continue her studies in Europe and before returning to the United States made successful opera debuts in the Prague Opera in Czechoslovakia , the Vienna State Opera , the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, and the Royal Opera in Cairo. Her Metropolitan Opera debut was the title role of Mignon which she had so magnificently .sang at the age of 22 in her Czeckoslovakia appearance. In Hollywood Rise Stevens starred in the films "The Chocolate Soldier ", "Carnegie Hall" , and the Academy Award winning "Going My Way " with Bing Crosby . Her concert , television and radio appearances, as well as her recordings for RCA Victor and Columbia , made her one of the most popular "box-office " stars on the American scene. In addition to singing the first ROSENKAVALIER ever at the San Francisco Opera , she made her debut in the same work at the Paris Opera. She gave an historic performance in the title role of ORFEO in the shadow of the Acropolis at the Herod Atticus Festival in Athens. Certainly one of the highlights in the career was her debut in Milan 's La Scala when she created the role of Herodias , in Mortari 's LA FIFLIA DEL DIAVOLO. Miss Stevens ' artistic home, however , has always been the metropolitan Opera — "... for twenty-five gloriou s , magnificant years ... " according to New York Music Critics — where she sang fifteen starr ing parts .in four languages. Her complete recording of CARMEN for RCA Victor rem ains the biggest seller in that company 's (Contlnuttd on Pay* 6) IP /CIS maj or must sehedufefyvigmg(students) .

He thinks that a better priority system should be set up to ac* commodate the growing demand on the limited supply of "they are a team without a field ." athletic facilities. He said that first priority should definitely go to the varsity teams, but that clubs should haye priority over groups who reserve the facilities,,justJ to mess around. Instead! the clubs; -are 6ri the bottom of the list. Cecil Turberville , the BSC Athletic Director , said that the Lacrosse Club couldn't have a field because "We don't have one to give them . They have all been allocated to varsity and intramural sports." I : \/ 0 j /£$* mm ¦¦ ¦ ' When asked why clubs couldn 't use old athletic equipment ( the "V-Ball" Club : had requested use of old jerseys for use in the recent tournament) he said that they were not in use anymore because they were either worn out or it was illegal to use them. When asked why the lacrosse Club couldn 't become a male varsity sport , Turberville pointed out that no new sports were going to be added . He added that for ;a chib to^ecjome au varsity" s'p'ofTt'- the following must happen : 1. It must be accepted by the college administration, with a favorable recommendation from the Departmen t of Athletics ; • 2. CGA must agree to fund it? 3.The sport would have to get a percentage of the funds already allocated to athletics from CGA and the state budget for coaches, insurance, transportation and storage. He emphasized that it would have to be organized and "not a fly-by-night operation that operates out of the trunk of a car and where nobody knows who has the equipment." The lacrosse club has been in existence for four years. Last year 35 of the 40 who started ended up participating, and it is already getting CGA funds, as are the hockey and V-Ball clubs who, also have a lot of participants.
