Pat Murphy KROSCHEWSKY SPEAKS. Dr. Julius Krochewsk y, president of BSC's faculty union, presented the faculty position on the hike. By ROBERTA CLEMENS "If the $75 is not realized, we will be faced with a serious deficit," Dr. Larry Jones, vice president for academic affairs, explained, concerning the surprise $75 tuition increase BSC students got over Christmas break. Jones spoke at a press conference held today in the Kehr Union on the campus of Bloomsburg State College. It was sponsored by the Commonwealth Association of the students (CAS), which is the lobbying group of the 76,000 students at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned institutions, which is opposing the hike. According to Dr. Julius Kroschewsky, president of BSC's Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) , the surprise tuition increase was the responsibility of the Pennsylvania Department of Education. He explained that in 1978, the professors at the 14 state institutions were entitled to a salary increase which was denied by the state. Kroschewsky said that APSCUF took this case to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and eventually to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In December of 1981, the Supreme court ruled in favor of APSCUF,. requiring the state to grant the back pay. According to Michelle Kessler, CAS coordina tor at BSC, the state college and university directors, at the recommendation of Secretary of Education Robert Scanlon, decided the salary increase would come from a $75 tuition increase ($130 for out of state students) for the 1982 spring Roger Cheney ¦ iprrii i .„ LISTEN UP, DICK ! One BSC student issued *his plea to Governor Thornburgh. semester. Tom Gordon, a student representative on the BSC board of trustees, expressed concern as to what this increase has done for future students. He stated "It's not that the $75 is the whole package. What is going to happen next year? " He also said, "Most, if not all, students were not even at BSC in 1977, and that's why it's so unfair." He explained he is basing his facts on what he has experienced as a student. He said; "I am going on what I have seen since I've been in school. Tuition has gone up 43 percent since then." • Kessler explained that it was sta ted in the Chronicle of Education tha t Pennsylvania has the highest state college tuition in the country. She explained that CAS wants to- keep the tuition down and they want the professors ' salaries increase to come from somewhere else. Dr. Jones and Dr. Frank Davis, assistant vice president for administration, explained that the money would come out of the BSC general fund. Jones said, "If the money comes out of our current operating budget, library hours will be cut, students might be turned away, the number of students in classes will be increased, and the number of sections reduced." Davis said, "The money will eventually come out of the budget. We would have to roll over a sizeable deficit for next year." Kessler also commented that CAS was not responsible for the morning's bomb scare. Pat Murphy V.P. READS OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

St udents take the protest down College Hill. Roger Cheney Letters to the Editor Vandals Respond Dear Editor, By now the entire school knows the story of the four college students who vandalized downtown Bloomsburg. Indeed , it was a stupid , idiotic, and asinine thing to do. There are no excuses to be made; what's done is done. Each one of the people who was a part of that night feels worse than anyone else possibly could. We know what we did is wrong and we are taking full responsibility . We turned ourselves in , and we have co-operated fully. There are a lot of reasons for what happened that night , some that might be obvious , others that might not. None of us has ever been in trouble before , and there is a good chance that we never will be again. It is our hope that those of you who know us will not judge us on the basis of this one night. If we have lost your respect , then we still have our own. Our heads won 't be buried in the sand. ' One who was there Funds Explained Letter to the Editor: We are writing in response to the recent controversy regarding the allocation of funds by CGA to the Campus Voice. The Campus Voice receives $15,200 yearly from CGA, the third highest of any studen t organization. It is the responsibility of the Campus Voice staf to keep within the boundaries of this allocation as stated in Part I of the Community Government Association budgetary policies ; "The designated allocation covers the entire expenditures for the current fiscal year in any named activity. No additional funds will be allocated after the close of the budget committee hearings in the spring of the year...". The problem started when the Campus Voice began the year by taking $1100 from the 1981-82 budget to cover salary expense incurred in 1980-81. Last week the Campus Voice staff approached the Finance Committee requesting $2000 ($1400 of which to be used for Spring 1982 salaries.) It is our policy that any salary expense which the Campus Voice deems necessary to pay is to be taken out of advertising income, not from students ' money ; CGA , therefore , denied their request for $2000. The Campus Voice then returned to the Finance Committee" requesting $600 solely for . the purpose of continued printing for the rest, of the semester. Their request stated that "... the staff feels that the . newspaper and the opportunities it provide are more important than the monetary reward ; therefore, they are willing to sacrifice all salaries.' This request was approved unanimously. CGA attempts to be sympathetic toward all organizations and their needs, however , CGA as an organization itself must stay within their reserve which is used for allocating funds to organizations. Karen T. Chawaga , CGA President Paul D. Stockier, CGA Treasurer Vick y Lysek , CGA Representative On-Campus Situation Dear Editor: I would like to respond to the off-campus students' protests concerning laundry room restrictions in the residence halls. First , I would like to make it clear that the cost of maintaining the laundry faciliti es comes out of the room fee charged to resident students , and not from tuition or activities fee. Many off-campus students apparently feel that this new policy is a violation of their rights as a B.S.C. studen t and don 't understand why they are being inconvenienced. The purpose of the restriction is to alleviate the inconvenience to resident students, many who have resorted to doing laundry at late night or early morning hours to avoid overcrowded conditions. The rule does not violate off-campus students ' rights, and it was not our intention to inconvenience them , but simply to allow residents more convenient use of the laundry room , since they pay for this right. I realize the weekend is the prime time for off-campus students to do laundry. This is the prime time for EVERYONE to do it. Also, it is true that students with a certain number of credits must move offcampus, but everyone is informed of this at freshman orientation , if not before , and they should realize that they are not guaranteed use of dormitory facilities when they move oif.. Dear Chris In reply to the "Offended OffCampuser", you may not object to dorm students frequenting "your" off-campus streets, but you probably would object if they walked in to use an appliance, in the apartment- you rent. I do not mean to imply that off-campus students are not welcome in the dorms, but I feel ¦they should realize that the residents who live in the dorms are entitled to the enforcement of some restrictions concerning non-residents. El well Hall is not the Kehr Union. People pay to live here. . Hall staff members are not rude to off-campus students, and they do not enjoy asking them to leave, but it is the staff's job to enforce rules within the hall. Finally, I would like to remind off-campus students that they have not been completely forbidden to use hall laundry facilities. They have simply been asked by two of the seven residence halls to come on a specified day. This is not an unreasonable request , and it certainly is not a violation of anyone 's rights. I hope the off-campus people who protested will now examine the facts, realize that their complaints are not justified , and be more willing to cooperate in the future. Doreen Drack Senior Resdient Advisor, Elwell Hall No Connection There Dear Editor, Last Thursday, the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS) sponsored a Solidarity Day press conference and rally to fight the $75 tuition hike. On that day, someone called in a bomb threat claiming affiliation to CAS. Obviously, this was an attempt to undermine the day 's activities. CAS had nothing to do with the bomb threat. We consider the action deplorable and counter-productive. Some people on campus have the wrong idea of what CAS is. They consider us leftwingers and radicals. These people should wake up and take a close look at what we've been doingfighting an unethical tuition hike through letters , phoen calls petitions, rallies, press conferences and , also, through a class action suit against the state. We nixed the idea of a Boycott of classes on Solidarity Day, because we knew of the neyauvf iceuudCK a boycott (Continued on Page 4) 8 • S a f or Our heartfelt wishes | I I speedy recovery go out to I I ~~——Mr. Richard Savage^ —~~ I I - The Staff i Dear Readers: . • I have been at>BSC lor trie past few years. During this time,"! have experienced a few problems of my own and listened, to many other peoples problems too. It has been my experience that it often helps to communicate with someone who can be unbias and remain open-minded. I am offering my services and hopefully will enable my readers to see their problems in a new light. My responses to incoming letters will be suggestions and ideas that may help you find your answers. Dear Chris: I came to BSC as a freshman in August. I like the campus and my classes. My only problem involves my roommate. Don't misunderstand me; he is a really nice guy, we're just different. He constantly "borrows" my clothes, shampoo, deodorant and money. I know he doesn't intentionally want to annoy me, it is the way he is (or I am not). He sees nothing wrong with borrowing my things without asking. Rather than say something and risk having him mad at me, I say nothing. Please print this and maybe he'll read it and get the hint. BSC Lending and Loan Dear BSC Lending and Loan: It sounds like your roommate needs a lesson in respecting other people's personal property. Even though he is a nice guy you have your right to privacy and personal property. Don't rely on his reading this column to solve your problem; The best way to handle such a situation is by being more assertive. Without condemning or criticizing your roommate and without allowing yourself to be intimidated, explain to him that asking permission is a prerequisite for borrowing. A good approach might be, "Listen Joe, I really don't mind if you borrow my shampoo, but I would really appreciate it if you could ask me first." This communicates your thoughts, allows you to stand up for your rights and doesn't put your roommate on the defensive. Dear Chris: I am concerned about one of my friends; she is a freshman and has been very lonely here. She constantly complains that she has no reason to be here or anywhere else. She doesn't leave her room and isn't involved in any student activities. She goes home every weekend and when she comes back she is worse than before. Two of her sisters also go to college (not at BSC ) and they enjoy it. She says her parents don't understand why she is different. I am afraid that my friend will really give up on herself. I've tried to help, but I don't know what else I can do. Can you please help? ' Concerned Friend Dear Concerned : Relocation is a major change in any individual's life. Every person has his-her own way of reacting to major changes in life. Many individuals, when faced with a change of location, as in entering college, experience some form of loneliness. One of the easiest defense mechanisms to such a change is to shut oneself off. Seclusion, lack of energy, and depression are all symptoms of loneliness, which is often a common reaction to being placed in a new environment. This is often compounded when the individual has strong attachments back home. It appears that your friend's support system is back home. This would explain her heightened feelings of loneliness after the weekends at home. It is important that your friend learn to function away from home. The best way to accomplish this is to talk to someone.

We increased 5.5 percent while the national median was 23 percent. The second lowest increase was 11 percent which is alrnost double in Pennsylvania. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education , Pennsylvania has the highest tui tion for public higher education institutions in the country . Pennsylvania is the onl y state whose public higher education institution s are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education. This escalates tuition by increasing red tape. President Reagan has proposed a 12 percent reduction in federal monies for all higher education funds. The U.S. Senate has proposed .to eliminate Stale Student Incentive Grants (SSIG) for the capitol budget. This means PHEAA will lose 3.4 million for financial aid to Pennsylvania 's students. ' The 75 dollar tuition increase for all students at Pennsylvania 's State College and University (PSCU) institutions was proposed during the Christmas vacation without informing students. PSU students ' tuition increased 32 percent over the past two years. This translates to a $300 per student increase. Governor Thornburgh has continued to violate his campaign promises by imposing financial burdens on Pennsylvania State College and University students. Secretary Scanlon staled approximately 2 percent of Pennsylvania State College and University students will not be able to pay the $75 increase. This translates to roughly 1500 students. Tuition projections for • the 1982-1983 fiscal year range up to $350. Tuition already has risen over 171 percent wilhin the past . 10 years.

DECKER keeps his fingers in shape on the keyboard. Decker p lans full schedule Behind the door in Haas 216, a professor of music has been preparing for a high school choral festival comprised of over 500 high school students , a trip to Europe with the Pennsylvania Youth Chorale , a summer musical, and plans for a trip to France next year. In addition to taking French lessons, directing two college choirs and being director of music at a local church , Dr. William Decker is also arranging for Handel 's oratorio Samson to be staged in Haas Center for the Arts. "In an oratorio, the chorus is the most important part ," according to Dr. Decker, that is why the Concert Choir, under his direction has been rehearsing a number of selections since September , and will be the feature in the April 15, 16, and 17 production along with his wife Mary as Dalila .and a guest performer to be determined as Samson.. Dr. Decker is from New Kensington, Pennsylvania , near Pittsburgh. He received his Bachelors of Arts degree from the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York, in 1957. For two years, he worked for the Rochester Public Schools ; he and his wife received their , masters degrees during that time. For four years, he taugh t at a Junior College near Houston, Texas. In the fall of 1963, Decker became Bloomsburg 's fourth music instructor ; his offices and classrooms were in Old Science Hall. He served as chairman of the Departmen t of Music for ten years. Decker was director of the Madrigal Singers , but now conducts the Concert Choir and Husky Singers, the male chorus at BSC. In 1975, Dr. . Decker received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Temple University, Philadelphia. He has written numerous works, including a cantata for church, and has arranged 15 choral pieces. "I don't consider myself as a great composer," he says. From 1967, he has been a guest conductor for regional and county high school choruses all over the Commonwealth. Decker , along with Dr. Richard Stanislaw , recently hosted Bloomsburg 's Sixth Annual High School Choral Festival , February 16. The festival brought 9 high school choral groups from all over this state to perform individually. Currently he is serving his sixth year as Director of Music at St. Matthew 's Lutheran Church, Bloomsburg.

"However , I'm happy to be able to watch it at all," she added. It was a differen t story last semester for some dedicated but unfortunate "Guiding Light" fans. "We didn 't have a picture on the television so we just listen ed to the sound ," said Diane , a junior. The reasons why people watch soap operas are as varied as there are shows. "If you watch them one day, then you want to see what happens the next day, " said Linda , a senior. Paula , a sophomore, said, "I've been watching them since I can remember, because my mom watched them. I guess I just got in the habit." Males have their reasons as well as females . "I don 't think they should be classified for females only," said Frank, a junior. "They are good shows and even better than some of the junk that is on at night," he added. "I watch them because my girlfriend watches them," said Bob, a senior. "We have a relationship of doing and sharing things together, and watching soap operas is one of them." One large criticism of soap operas is there is too much sex in them. How do the soap fans feel e bout that criticism'? "Sure there is a lot of kissing and bedroom scenes in . them, but the sex is all in the person 's imagination," said Kathy, a junior . "If you have a vivid and wild imagination you have a lot of sex. If you don't, you have a boring time. " Whether you are a dedicated soap fan or a dedicated soap critic, one thing is for certain Soap operas are a popular craze that isn't fading away very fast.

The personnel in the show consists of townspeople; high school and college students, and college professors. After the musical, Dr. Decker leaves with the Pennsylvania Youth Chorale, made up of the state's best high school choral singers, on a tour of Europe. It is his second tour with the chorale. Among all the projects being prepared , Dr. Decker and his wife are anxiously awaiting January 1983 when they will travel to France where Dr. Decker will be taking his A feeling of bewilderment was present in the dark , crowded , and very silent room in the Kehr Union. A light was shining from a corner , like some type of vision , and all eyes were fixed on it. A scream of "Oh, no!", and "Watch out!", simultaneously broke the silence. Then , dead silence again. In the basement of Elwell Hall four girls gathered around a malfunctioning television and let go with a series of kicks, punches , and screams that would have made Jack the Ripper back down. What is all the fascination and rage about? It is about soap operas, one of the largest crazes to hit college campuses across the nation. Soap operas, which got their name from being sponsored by soap companies in the early I930's, have students hooked in a way that drugs couldn't touch and professors only dream that their courses could. The soap operas which include "General Hospital," "All My Children," and the "Guiding Light," are serious business among Bloomsburg studen ts. In a recent random telephone and person - to - person poll of 100 BSC students, 90 percent of the females and 45 percent of the males watch at least one soap opera every day. Seventyfive percent of the females watch two or more a day. Other results of the survey revealed that SO percent of the females make some type of special effort to watch their program; 25 percent schedule classes around their favorite soap opera ; five percent buy a soap opera magazine; and among the majority "General Hospital" is the most popular. boap operas can start friendships as well as determine who associates with whom because that is the only time many people see each other . "That's the only time I see my two best friends because of my schedule," said Carol Osborn, a sophomore and "General Hospital" fan. "We try to get all the gossip in during the commercials," she added. In Elwell Hall the "Guiding Light" fans are forced into the basement where the only television set out of 14 available isn't tuned into the most popular soap, "General Hospital.

' -Pat meet between two of the nation 's top wrestling teams wasn't quite typical in one aspect - the outcome. The Huskies beat the Golden Eagles 20-19 - the first time a BSC team has beaten Clarion since Roger Sanders became a coach here and that was eleven years ago. "We 've beaten them in tournaments ," indicated a ju bilant Sanders. "But we couldn 't beat them in a dual until now," added Sanders. There was more than just the sake of a rivalry on the line Wednesday, however. Both teams came into the bout 4-1 in Eastern Wrestling League competition. The EWL is an eventual NCAA qualifier. Penn State is on top of the EWL with a 5-0 record. Bloomsburg came into the match ranked 25th in the nation (because of their loss to Lock Haven) and Clarion went into* the match 26th (because of their loss to Penn State.) Earlier in the season, the teams had been ranked as high as 18th and 19th respectively. Penn State is ranked 14lh in the latest Amateur Wrestling News poll. With the above stage set, the action started out quite predictable - in typical Clarion Bloomsburg fashion. The Huskies took a seemingly commanding lead , only to watch it evaporate right before their - and the huge crowds' eyes. Todd Cummings, as is accustomed, started things off at 118 pounds for the Huskies against Jamey Kasser. Kasser allowed only a first period escape, in beating Cummings 6l. Woody Fry was at 126 pounds for the Huskies this night - he and Troy Dagle have been sharing the 126 pound duties throughout the season. Fry scored four points in the first period on a takedown and backpoints. But Kraig Nellis, Fry 's Clarion opponent, reversed Fry with 50 seconds left .in the three minute first period. Fry gained an escape 44 seconds into the :two minute second period. But Nellis took down Fry with thirty seconds to go in the period to close the score to 5-4. During a brief injury timeout between periods, 16-year head coach Bob Bubb told Nellis, who would be int he down position to start the third period , that he "had to get up." It took him a while but Nellis finally did get up - with 12 seconds left in the match to make the score 7-7. Fry had gotten a point earlier in the period because of an illegal move by Nellis. Nellis won the exciting match with a takedown with two seconds left in the match. The number five 134-pounder in the nation - BSC's Don Reese totally dominated his match in winning 15-0. Reese had 6:31 in riding time (amount of time he was in control) and a match is only seven minutes long. This made the match score Clarion 6, Bloomsburg 5. Al McCollum , BSC's 142pounder , dominated his match lso, using a takedown , reversal , and riding time lo beat Clarion 's Ken Nellis, 5-1. Tom Fiorvanti continued the Bloomsburg onslaught with a third period pin of Clarion 's Jeff Alexander. Tom really got excited by a little out of bounds rough housing by Alexander after a whistle. Fiorvanti pinned Alexander in 5:32. Gibbes Johnson ended what Sanders called a "brief slump" against the defending Pennsylvania Conference Champion Rob Albert. Johnson received the Good as Gold award as the MVP wrestler of the meet. Johnson won 6-3, giving up three escapes. Tom Gibble won the last match of the night for the Huskies at 167 pounds when he beat Clarion 's Jay Saunders 8-4. Gibble displayed his usual aggressive style, gaining a 7-2 lead before being taken down with eight seconds left in the match. Gibble was going for a major decision which led to his being taken down at the end. This made the match score 20-6. . Butch Snyder stymied two time NCAA Division I runner up Charlie Heller for two periods, but Heller scored eight points in the final period to edge Snyder ' • ¦' •" ¦'' ¦'¦ 12-2. . Butch was successful in limiting Heller to a major decision as Heller tried everything he could to. get the one more point needed to get Clarion five match points instead of the four they got. This made the match score Bloomsburg 20, Clarion 10. BSC's Joe Wade and Clarion 's Mark Downing met at 190 for what proved to be the match of the night. You see, Bloomsburg 's heavyweight would be freshman John McFadden, a good wrestler. He had a 9-2 record , but he was going to be matched up against Clarion 's Curt Olsen, one of the premier heavyweights in the east, if not in the nation. So this made Wade's performance all the more important. Wade had beaten Downing earlier in the season in the BSC invitational 1-0 with a late third period escape. This time around , however, it was a takedown late in the third period that gave Wade the victory - no wait a minute. The takedown didn't give Wade the win - he lost 11-4. Then why was the crowd oh their feet and cheering at the top of their lungs? Because the takedown allowed Downing only a three match point decision, making the team score 20-13, insuring a Bloomsburg win - one that was long overdue if you are coach Roger Sanders. "It's been a long time in coming," said Sanders. "That was great wrestling." Wade 's takedown became even more important when Olsen pinned McFadden in 56 seconds. But to give McFadden credit , he did score the first 1 points of the match on a takedown of Olsen. But Olsen reversed McFadden at 48 seconds and pinned him shortly thereafter. The Huskies travel to Penn State on Thursday and then go back to State College the 26th and 27th of February for the EWL NCAA qualifying tourney. DEBBIE, Cupid did not forget. Happy belated "V" Day.

But the Raiders hung tough and fought back to take a 27-26 lead into the lockerroom. The final 20 minutes was much of the same, as there were eight tied scores and 10 lead changes in the see-saw affair. With BSC (railing 43-41, Jon Bardsley hit back-to-back jumpers to give the Huskies the lead. Tom Triggs tied it with a long jump-shot , but Bloom went ahead again on a Doug Greenholt basket. Brian Cozzins then scored the next four points to push SSC back in front , 49-47. Greenholt scored again before Cozzins made one of two fouls to make it 50-49 with 1:32 remaining. Barry Francisco gave Bloomsburg its final lead of the evening at 51-50. The Raiders then held the ball, winding the clock down for a possible last-second shot. But BSC's Mike Wenrich fouled Matthews and , after a Bloomsburg time-out , the forward sank both for the upset victory. The Huskies had a shot at pulling, the game out , however, a Bardsley attempt was offtarget and a Ken Casey follow also missed. Cozzins had a game-high 21 points. He was backed by Triggs with 12.

Barry Francisco's slam dunk at the 7:18 mark brought the Bloomsburg fans to their feet while giving the Huskies a 30-10 lead.
