llis'cfis the Voice: Thought for the Day Ski Racing Team FormsPage 5 Wrestling Team Wins Four Matches Page ? "It is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest." . Abraham Lincoln Students Urged to Attend Rally <• Solidarity bay is Feb. 11 and for those students who don't know what the day is for, it is a day when students get together as a campus and protest the $75 tuition increase, delegated by the state. It is a day when students can show that they don't want their rights violated. Early dismissal urged Dr. Julius Kroschewsky, president of BSC's APSCUF, sent letters to the faculty last week, encouraging them to let students out of classes fifteen minutes early at 12:00 to attend the rally. Students are reminded that Solidarity Day is not a day to boycott classes.. This would only defeat the purpose of protesting the unfairness of a tuition increase, which harms students education. If you have a 2:00 class don't miss it, just do your share of protesting at 12:00. We the staff , would like to encourage students to take Solidarity Day seriously. An increase of $75 is more than a lot of students paying their own tuition can afford. Some students have even been forced to drop out because of the expense. Also, parents may TDC put in a bind because of this. While CAS (Commonwealth Association of Students) has organized the rally and Solidarity Day, students and their concern has made this an issue. Over 100 students attended "Fight the BSC students arrested Hike" night two- weeks ago, and about 20 students got together last week to make posters for the rally. This shows that some students at BSC care about the cost of their education. Solidarity Day is the time for other students to show their concern. Four charged For Va ndalism Press Conference io be held A Press Conference will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 11 and those students who do not have classes at this time are encouraged to come and listen to the speakers outside of the Union. Guest speakers will include: Representative Ted Stuban, John Walker, Executive Assistant to the President ; Ken Hoffman , Special Assistant of College Relations; Frank Davis, Assistant VF for Administration; Karen Chawaga, president of CGA and Tom Gordon , the student trustee. Phone-in to Hotline 'Starting at 1:30 there will be a phone-in to Governor Thornburgh's Hotline. Details will be given at the rally. Students must make themselves heard on Solidarity Day or the $75 hike will remain intact , , Remember, Feb. 11 is only what students make it. Debbie Berklej Executive Editoi vandalism spree. Seventy-two windows were smashed and doors kicked in, including 35 smashed windows at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church and another 22 at the middle school. "It's crazy what they ( the vandals) did, it almost leaves you speechless," said Smith. "Every week we get vandalism like broken antennas, but when you get property damage to a church and school...it's sick," he commented. Smith praised the efforts of police officers in their investigation of the vandalism. Four Bloomsburg State College students were arrested last night and charged with criminal mischief and criminal conspiracy in connection with Saturday's vandalism at 12 different locations in town. Charged were Abraham J. Simon, 21, Daniel Myers, 21, Andrew G. Peters, 20, and Jeffrey Baskih, 20, all of 235 W. Main St., Bloomsburg. Police Chief Larry Smith said the men could face jail sentences and or fines if convicted. Approximately $2,600 in damage was caused by the Reorganization Presented To Rep. Assembly By ANGEL GRASSO President 'McCormick and several other BSC administrators outlined their reorganization of Academic Affairs during the Feb. 3 meeting of the Representative Assembly. "We have a tough decade ahead and we can't rely on government for help," said McCormick, "We must make a major thrust in institutional development to be stable for the '90's." The reorganization plan began a year and a half ago and is now in place, said McCormick, although there are still a number of positions to be filled. He said the purpose of the plan was to strengthen and help the Academic Vice President Larry * jones. New Structure of Academic Affairs The reorganization , which was approved by the Board of Trustees,, will consolidate two departments: Graduate Studies and Extended Programs, and will create a new position of an Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs. One position will be transferred from Student Life to Academic Affairs and become Assistant Dean for Graduate Studies and Extended Programs for a one year trial appointment. The duties of the two Assistants to the Vice President will be combined under the new office - -of Associate Vice President. A nationwide search is also underway for a Dean of Instructional Services, whose duties will include the selection and purchase of instructional equipment for the Human Services Center. The Athletics Department has been moved from under the Dean of Arts and Sciences to the Dean of Student Development. Concern was raised by several faculty members about the actual power of the Assembly when a Gifted Program was presented as an "We Have a tough decade ahead and can't rely on the government for help. " said Dr. James McCormick informational item rather than an action item. The program was approved by the Executive Committee of the RA before presenting it to the RA for recommendation. "This body should have an opportunity to make recommendations," said Dr. Craig Himes, who also felt that it was unsafe for merely a committee to approve degree programs. Several faculty members pointed out the heed for a faculty organization to review .such programs, since the faculty award degrees. Elections were held for two students openings in ' the Coordinating Committee on General Administration and the Executive Committee. Natalie Udovich was elected to the Executive Committee, but the position in CCGA remains open due to lack of nomiantions. Editorial It comes as no real surprise that student housing is sometimes below, standard and often neglected by landlords. But it is a surprise for students to come back from break and find their semester)/ homes in unliveable conditions. This happened to quite a few students after the Christmas break. On Lightstreet Road , fourteen TriSig sisters returned on January 16 to find water pipes burst and their oil burner empty. According to a recent article, the students in this instance took legal action against their negligent landlord, but how many other students found their homes in a frozen mess after break and never took any kind of legal action? Granted, some landlords do take care of the mess after students complain, but the inconvenience would not have occured if heat in the houses wasn't turned down too far or turned off completely. A house on East Third Street had a pipe come through the downstairs bathroom ceiling after breok. On the day students returned , one tenant decided not to rent there for the semester, so the negligent landlord was out $500 rent. The other seven tenants were forced to share one upstairs bathroom for a week before anything was done about the other bathroom. None of the remaining tenants paid their spring rent until the damage was repaired, forcing the landlord to rectify the situation. At another student dwelling, located on Fetterman Avenue, five students were forced to find other residences because the landlord let the oil go out , freezing and bursting water pipes two weeks after the Spring semester started. The landlord tried to appease them by providing kerosene heaters, but that didn't change the fact that there was no hot water. These students are currently seeking legal counsel. We the staff , would like to encourage other students who were the victims of landlord negligence over break to get advice either from a public defender or from the campus lawyer. Landlords have an obligation to their tenants to keep their housing in liveable conditions , and students should not allow landlords to take advantage of them.

Chairperson Lucille Gambardella , the investigation will determine how many students were involved, and the results should be available at the end of this week. Last semester 's grades are being withheld from several sophomore nursing students You know , I came- back from winter break and found my apartment frozen over and these two rats huddled over a sterno cannister keep ing warm! . . Dear Editor: The recent Dance Marathon held at Bloomsburg State College's Centennial Gym raised over $8,000 in pledges for the American Red Cross Bloomsburg Chapter. On behalf of the Kehr Union Program Board and Bloomsburg State College, I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way. This was the eighth marathon we have held, and the 50 hour and 12 hour mini marathons had a total of 201 people dancing. Of this group, ninety-seven were from the college, 82 were high school students and 22 were people from the surrounding areas. This provides some idea of the broad-based support we received this year. It's hard to individually thank everyone who had a part in the marathon. Over 175 people helped set up and run the marathon , with another 201 actually dancing. Thousands of others visited the gym and provided moral support and pledged funds to the dancers. Many of the local merchants and restaurants donated prizes, and the media strongly promoted the event. This is a community event which can , only function , ;if , everyone' cooperates: Its ' su'tf- '¦ cess indicates that there are still an awful lot of people who care about what happens and who are willing to lend a helping hand. John Trathen , Director Student Activities and Kehr College Union Where are buses? Dear Editor, I was planning on catching the bus up to Nelson for the basketball game on Saturday night, but because of a long distance phone call I was delayed. I got to the bus stop at 8:10 and a crowd of people were standing around waiting for the bus to make another trip. Well, the bus never came and I was forced to walk up Nelson hill in the windy cold, as were others. I think they should run buses up on nights of the game until at least" 8:30. Is there some problem with that? Marcy P. Need for typewriters Dear Editor : I hope that the $75 increase that we are being charged will hielp make facilities more accessible . to, students; , To t be v specific ,' the ? availability' of ' typewriters. As it is right now, there are only two typewriters available for student use in Kehr Union. Many times the ribbon is too light or certain letters do not reproduce. To type in the business education typewriter rooms special permission must be ascertained. Any thought of buying a typewriter of my own went down the drain because of the increase. I don 't have enough money to pay for everything, and I am sure that I speak for many students. It's a hassle trying to borrow a typewriter, especially when all your friends have papers due at the same time. It is my hope that the money collected from the tuition increase will help to pay for more, typewriters for students. There . should be facilities available for all aspects of student life - including the written word. PatMillef CAMPUS VOICE MEETING Solidarity Day Studentsand Faculty Air Views on Tuition Hike By By ANDREW MCCARTHY Bill McNett, senior, Business: "I think the increase was bound to happen in one form or another. Even with the increase I feel that we're getting a good education." Gary Fetter , Senior , Accounting: "The timing was horrendous. It's an unjustified permanent increase in tuition." Glenn Bromley, freshman, Business: "It's the fact that the hike was put on after 'tuition bills were sent out. It's like purchasing an item in a store - and having to pay an additional $50 after getting home with it. " Paul Frank , freshman , Political Science: "It's crummy getting hit between semesters with this, but it's still cheaper here than at private schools." Tom Henninger, sophomore, Special Ed.: "I think it's totally outrageous due to the timing." Jose Corrales , senior , Geology : "The hike is definately unfair. Students should be more aware of what this is all about. " Sharon Mohrey, sophomore, Com.-Dis.: "It's really tough on students who have to pay their way through school by themselves. I'm annoyed at this-slap in the face". Lori Waliis, freshman , Accounting: "I think that if the Administration is going to keep up their poor planning and short-sightedness, then we should look into a new Administration". Kim Smith, sophomore, El. Ed.: "I think it's unfair that we should have to make up for past mistakes. Our bill money is already figured out to the tee. This messes up a lot of other people's situations." George N e u h a u s e r , Management: "A lot of people probably feel helpless because it is an issue against the State and the State is pretty powerful. The State doesn't give a damn and neither do a lot of other people ". Mrs. John , Foreign Languages: "I don't think this hike is a good idea. I feel that the State should do all they can to support higher education and the philosophy behind this is very short-sighted." Dr. Louis Thompson , English: "I'm against it. The state should have taken action back in 1977. Now they're finally getting around to it. This action is very destructive for a goal of having good inexpensive public education in the state of Pennsylvania. President Reagan's cutbacks on student aid don't help matters either." Dr. Ralph Smiley, Mass. Comm. and Speech: "I criticize the State for not covering this award in a timely fashion. The money was ours and the court said so. But, in my opinion, we are a well-paid faculty. I could live very well without the increase. ., RUSH h <% MEETING f Phi Sigma Pi National Co-Ed I Honor Fraternity 9:30 Pres.

Rob Brown , a representative of Wainwri ght Travel Service talked to students earlier this week about Spring Break trips. Florida Trip Discussed On Tuesday, February 2, at 8 p.m., the Kehr Recreation and Leisure Service held its third annual Travel Night in the President's Lounge in the Kehr Union Building. (Picture above ) Travel Night is an informative meeting concerning the yearly trip to Ft. Lauderdale over Spring break. This year over 200 Bloomsburg State College students are planning to venture to the college vacation capital of the world on Saturday, March 6 and return on Saturday, March 13. Wainwright's Travel Service, the travel company that is offering the trip, was represented by Rob Brown at the meeting. Students eagerly asked questions concerning flight arrangements , car rentals , hotels and nightspots in Ft. Lauderdale. Participants were surprised to find an added option for their Florida trip. Brown announced that Wainwright's is offering a one day trip to the Bahamas. This package includes transportation on a cruise ship and three gourmet meals. The price of this option is $69 per person. At the conclusion of the meeting refreshments were served , and everyone left counting the days until departure. By NANCY J. FLEMING BSC has something new this year besides a $75 tuition increase. It's the ski racing team which finally got underway after two years of talk and planning. The BSC ski racing team is affiliated with the ski club, but by next year the racing team plans to form its own club. Currently, the racing team consists of 28 men and 7 women. Bill Bent and Kevin Reese organized the racing team and were elected captains of the male team. The female captains are.Adrienne Graybill and Anne Wick. The ski team races in two leagues. A Tuesday night collegiate cup series, and the National Collegiate Ski Association, (NCSA), sponsored by Miller Lite. The Tuesday night league is held at Big Boulder , BSC currently holds first place against ten teams. The NCSA consists of twelve leagues. BSC is in the eastern division of the Allegany Collegiate Ski Conference, which races on weekends at various ski resorts. BSC's ski team is presently Z\ TT DELTA - PI RUSH MEETING : Wednesday, Feb. 17th KUB Coffeehouse at 8:00 p.m. •Refreshments served •Rides provided to the H ouse second in the eastern division. Penn State is first. Other racing teams in the. eastern division include Kutztown , Buckneil , and West Chester. The ski racing team is doing very well for its first year of racing, but its biggest drawback is funds. Because it is only a team, the races receive no financial assistance from the school. The racers must provide their own transportation , money for racing entrance fees, lift tickets, meals and equipment; total costs run about $30 - $50 a week. the Currently, racing team consists of 28 men and 7 women. Once the racing team becomes a club, if the constitution is approved , CGA may provide funds to help pay for transportation; the ski team will then be able to organize its own fund-raisers. The racing team isn't allowed to have fundraisers unless qualified as a club. The ski captains believe more people would go out for the ski team once it became a club. "It wouldn't be as expensive to be involved as it is this year ," Wick said. "The money is really the biggest problem ." Recently, the ski team raced at the NCSA Penn State Invitational sponsored by Miller Lite Jan. 30 - 31 at Oregon Hill. The ski team placed second in the Giant Slalom and fourth overall. On an individual level, Bill Bent, who has been racing since he was eight-years-old, placed first in the Giant Slalom and Slalom race , and was the overall winner of the races. Kevin Reese placed seventh in the Giant Slalom, and third in the Beer Slalom. Anne Wick was the first girl from BSC to gain individual earned conference points. None of the girls on the team have ever raced before. Their primary goal is to gain experience for next year. The ski team 's goal now is to reach ACSC regionals: ACSC regionals will be held at Elk Mountain, Feb. 28. The top three teams of" the eastern division and the top three,teams of the western division will race for Nationals which will be held at Malco, Idaho, March 3-5.
