Scranton , Governor of Pennsylvania from 1962 until 1966 , according to Mr . William A. Lank , President of the College Board of Trustees . In a letter to Mr . Lank expressing his appre ciation and in accepting the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Trustees , former Governor Scranton wrote , "I am most gratef ul although , as you know , I am not one of those who is looking for memorials or plaques or dedicatio ns . _ It w.as a great honor to be the Governor of Pennsylvania and to have the opport unity that this job gives anyone . " Expected to be read y for occupancy by February, 1970, pre sent plans call for the facility to be dedicated dur ing the week of April 12-18 , 197 0, in conjunction with the Inauguration of President Robert Nossen , and will be officially designated the William W . Scranton Commons . Former Governor Scranton has been invited to participate in the dedication and the Trustees are hope ful that his calendar will permit him to be on campus at that time . The new Commons will include two large dining areas which can be divided into four smaller areas , each having its own serving equipment . The seating capacity willaccom odate 1,000 students and the food preparation area is designed to serve 2,000 students at each meal . The Commons also includes several offices , lobbies , a dinin g r oom for facult y and another for food service employees , a bakery, walk in refrigeration storage units , a loading dock and receiving area , employee locker rooms , and general stora ge areas. All areas except the kitchen are air-conditioned. The cost of construction is appro ximatel y $1,645,000. Mr . Lank , in commenting on the action of the Boar d of Trustees stated , "G overnor Scranton , in 1964, recognized the abs.olute need for a new dining hall at BSC to provide food service for students occupying newly constructed residence halls. After conferring with college officials , the Governor was instrumental in providing the necessary authorization for design and construction funds in the Capital Budget . " While thepresent C olle,ge Coriimons will be continued in use on a limited basis , the new facility will enable the College to extend food service privileges and also permit student activities to be scheduled in the present Com mons until a student union building Is constructed .

Car */ of Jkan ks Af/y C/p en rJL ett er An Open Letter To Governor Shafer: During your recent visit to Bloomsburg State College, I had the opportuni ty to raise a question about your administrations ' efforts to enforce the State 's regulations concerning the operation of migrant labor camps . You replied In part by saying that you helped pass some line pieces of legislation benefiting migrants while you were a member of the State Legislature and that the State has been praised for its record on migrant affairs. More over , you invited me to pr ovide you with information about any alleged violations that I was aware of. Since the format of the question and answer period did| not allow me to respond to your re ply, I am writin g this opem letter . In the first place it seems in* consistent to me for one to help put laws on the books and then fail to enforce them. It' s like saying you are for one thing and doing another. Laws not effectively enf or ced are worse t ha n n o laws at all, for they give a false sense that all is well. But , G overnor Shafer , all is not well in the Migrant Cam ps of Pennsylvania. The laws are on the books and you can poi nt to the m to satisfy those who axe concerne d about the welfare ot the migrant labor , and on the other han d , you can point to lack of effective enforcement to satis fy those who have to make a capital outlay to brin g the se ca ps up to State standards of health and sanitation .

By subscribin tc the idea of collective guilt Dr . Primack exonerate s the individuals directl y responsible and plac es the blame on the American people : "For the guilt of Pink ville is a collective guilt . All of us who have quietly and caut iously enjoyed the goodies of American life while Pink ville and the bombings were happening are MORE guilty than Lieutenant Calley. " By. the same logic the civilians of My Lai are rightf ully condemned by the American soldiers for their collective guilt in supporti ng the Viet Cong . Dr . Primack is right in reminding us that the nature of modern war fare does not make distinctions between combatants and non-com batants in air raid attacks . But given the insanity of war there is still some apparen t sense in tryin g to impose restrictions on such weapons as gas or the use of atom or germ warfa re , as well as the reprisal raid which My Lai seems to have been , since these weapons and modes of war fare bring us In closer step with the tactics followed by Hitle r 's SS tr oops. But the bigger issue is that of collective guilt , an idea which has been used by the Christian world against the Jews and the allies against Ger mans since the Second World War . What the Vietnam War has demonstrated is that the Germans rather tha n being inherently disposed toward fascism were its earlier victims . Our society is attempting to fight the same disease . Dr .

J or dan Richman English Department ff / an y ZJhanhs Dear Members of BSC Commun ity, Many thank s for your concern , interest and support in my VISTA project. Your backing has encouraged me mor e than once , when I thought all was hopele ss. The respon se has been unre al — and many have benefited . Not only has your support encouraged me , but also the other 23 VISTAs in Wilcox Count y, You have of course aided the people in need her e. But , prob ably as important , is the fact that you have helped your self ^- you have become involved— you have become a part of the solution rather than remaining a part of the problem. I thank you , and we all thank you, Progress is slow, frustrations are many— but rewards are pr iceless. My experience with VISTA has been worth 10 college educations. Practical experience inevitably surp asses classroom work. I' m not downgrading BSC or any college institution , but there are simp ly things that cannot be taught— they must be learn ed— through our own individual efforts . f hope this letter arrive s before your Christmas vacation — I want to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Chris tmas and a Happy New Year. My thoughts will be with you . Best wishes , Connie Fike ZJIi e M laSSacre To the Editor: I would like to take issue with Dr . Primack' s remarks (Forum , Dec. 10 , 1969) concernin g the atrocities committed at Song my. The central point perhaps is Dr. Primack 's astoundin g remark , and I quote , "You cannot consiste ntly maintain both that the continued involvement of Amer ican militar y forces in Vietnam is right and that Pinkville is wrong ." Unpacked a little , the statement means that if you suppor t the war , the alleged action s were ration al and perha ps moral , and that if you were against the war , the slaugh ter at Songmyw as no more abominable than any of t he other ac ts of war un derta k en by Americans In Vietnam. This position seems so pat ently false that it might be instructive to look at the reasons Dr . Primac k offers for it. Dr . Primack does not seem to be saying (although I am not sure of this) , that from the point of view of one who supp orts a war there is no suc h thing as an atro city . There are some , I know , (not many) who at least have the mor al coura ge to condemn the i mmense slau ghter of civili ans by the Viet Cong as atrocitie s, (without engaging in the sophistr y of remar ks about selective political assass ination) and still find their cause mor e ju st than ours. In other wor ds it' s reasona ble , and not ver y pr ofound , to assume atroci ties can and will be committed In wars , whether war is justified or not . If Dr . Primack agre es with the above , then his remarks reduce to saying that the alleged acti ons by American s at Songmy do not constitute an atrocity . And thi s is an ama z in g view, at least in the context of the reas ons Dr . P rimac k offers for justifying it. Are we to believe that because there was a "f ire-free zone " at Songmy, that it was "rat ional and right" to shoot old men and women with bab ies in their arms? Are we to take the view seriously that because babies might grow up to fight against us that it is "ra tional and right* 1 to slaughter the m ?

Mainly because the theatres were filled with Christmas epics such as " Santa Claus Conquers the Mar tians While His Elves Strike For Legalized Marijuana at the North Pole and Donner and Blitzen Write a Nixon Speech" . But I fasted and prayed and mine eyes were soon directe d to you hometown newspaper where I noticed an ad for a movie billed as the "in Western of the Year ." Curious as to how a horse-opera cou ld be "in ," I donned my galoshe s and was off to catch the 6:55 show . Well , the 6:55 satisfied my cur iosity , but I sta yed to see the 9:20 just to be sure that all those amazin g things I had seen had rea lly happened. NEWMAN AND REDFORD What made this shoot- 'em-up better than all the others? First there was Paul Newman as Butch Cassld y, notor ious (?) leader of the Hole in the Wall gang. Pr obably the only outlaw you 'll ever see w h o can 't shoot , fight , drink or gamble ("You just keep thinkin ' Butch , that ' s what you 're good at "). Newman , pro bably the most versat ile actor in motion pictures today, is a very cool and Incredibly funny Cassidy . He knows he 's the best outlaw in the whole world , "I' ve got vision wh ile the rest of the world wears bifocals. ") and he never lets his little handicaps get in the way of his belief . And the reason he doesn 't is becaus e his partner is the Sundanc e Kid , a stron g, silent type who can do all those things Butch can 't plus make love to Katharine Rossfr emember The Graduate ), Robert Redford If the Kid and he ZJn e Sundance ^J\id reminds me of Clint Eastwood as "th e man with no name " in those Italian Westerns. It appe ars that Redfor d and Eastwood have cor nere d th e mar ket on poker faces and guttural replys . But teame d with Newman , even some of Redford' s one- liners come out funny. T ake fe r instance , t he scene in which Butch gets shot up running for ammunition while the Kid is supposed to be covering him. Back in safety, N ewman gasps : "Is that what the hell you ca ll cover ." And Redford , still with no trac e of facial expression , comes bac k with : "Is that what the hell you call run ning." Completing this Bonnie and Clyde gan g is Miss Ross as Etta , the beautiful school marm who sleeps with Sundance but who' s heart belongs to Butch. But even if that sounds hard to understand , you 'l l still love her and Butch riding a bicycle while B. J . Thomas sings "Ra indro ps Keep Falling on My Head ." Etta too is an out law of sorts ; a rebe llious soul who , when aske d by her lover (s) to go to Bolivia to rob banks , , replys: "I' m 26 , single and a school teacher and that' s the bottom of the pit ." LAST OF THE OUTLAWS The story is different from all the other cowboy outlaw stories you'll ever see because Butch and the Kid are the last of the out laws . The Spanish-Americ an War has already begun and the bicycle threatens to replace the horse , so Butch and the Kid are fighting more than the law, they are fighting the future . And it is their devil-ma y-care , the-future * can-so-to-hell attitude that makes them so unfor gettable . While robbin g trains or fleeing into the hills , they are always , ( con t inued en p a ge five ) y Jb s e r v a t i o n by Tom Brennan The visit of G overnor Ray mond P. Shafer to the Bloomsburg Stat e Colle ge campus was significant in the .sense that he proved himself concerned enough to talk with students and listen to their probl ems and questions , bul at the same time several inconsistencie s turned up in his remarks . The grea test and most glaring was his contenti on that the Penn sylvania State College system is not racially segreg ated. The Governor based this conten tion on the prem ise that blacks students can be admitted to any one of the fourteen state colleges , not only to Cheyney , and that no outright segregati on is practiced by the other thirteen lily-white colleges. However , the governor didn 't take into account the matter of DE FAC TO segrega iion , whereby black studen ts are subtly clued into the fact that Cheyn ey is the best place for Afro -Americans to be, which really amounts to a state -enforced and funded " stay in your place " doctrine . The other colleges have done little or nothing in the past to provide a viable and livable black community , which has been the case here at Bloomsburg . The disturbin g factor was , that in speaking of Pennsylvania non-segregation , Mr. Shafer ignored the Department of Health , Education and Welfare prono uncement that "the State of Pennsylvania is operating a system of higher education that is racially segregated on a state-w ide basis /1 and his own Secretary of Education admittanc e of thi s condition by re . marking , In answer to HEW that "something should be done. " The fact is that nothing of substance has been done during Shafer 's reign durin g the past three years and not even since the command from HEW ( at the possible loss of federal funds). The state as a whole seems to be moving ver y laggardly . Campus Development In another area , in res ponse to a question asked In Carver Auditorium , Gover nor Shafer replied that the responsibility for the BSC architec ture plans lies with the college officials and hence they are the ones to blame for produc ing build ings which war m the heart of any good bric k- P IP M M I V P H * '^ " ^ '^ " " ^1 layer but leave something very much to be ' desired alon g the lines of aesthetics. H owever , in the past , state ments coming from the office of Boyd Buckingham , Director ot Development , have seemin gly implied -that the GenAuthority is the eral State culprit and the college must follow their wishes. Hopefully, clarification of this point will be forthcoming. • At the press conference immediately preceedin g the question and answer period in Carver , the Governor responded to a reporter 's questio concernin g a " hypothe tical take-over of a state college building with a rather hard core stand , saying that he would immediately act to re move those students . But in Carver , in answer to much the same question , Mr. Shafer was much more mellowed, speaking of taking various factors into considera. tion , tr ying to keep the lines of communication open, etc. These two reactions are understandable if one analyzes the audiences to which he was speaking: at the pr ess conference with three television cameras trained on him and four radio mikes in front of him , Mr . Shafer was speaking to middle -class America who would pr obably condome such a hard line stand , while in Carver he was speaking to an academic community which might be more sympathetic to the students and prone to more lenient action. This shifting of views is known as being a good politician , or ir a layman 's sense , talking out of both sides of your mouth . Discredits Question er Another observation of Shafer is th at when ask ed a question which he didn't want to answer or didn 't know how to answer he tried to discredit the questioner saying that the questioner 's facts were not stra ight or some other clever remark like that. Finally Shafer made some good remar ks on the fact that the laws must app ly to all , stu dents , facul ty and administrators alike. However it will be another thing for Mr. Shafer 's prono uncement on the general philosophy of the law to be implemented by a college administration that has been fit to Ignore its own document on tenure policies , and flaunt the constitut ion of both the United States and Pennsylvan ia . ""' Jim Bcrkhels or ( Felix, t he meticulous , malady half of fht Odd Couple ) "itolt the . show/ / ridden, wlfey Ed Morgan , Russ Griffith , and Tony Kohl ogle Velm a Avery in The Odd Couple . The length of her skirt leave plenty to ogle too. Velma also has a very special stag e charm that captu res aud- fence eyes regardless of her apparel though. It's our guess that BSC's stage (s) will see a lot of her. Play R eview The Odd Coup le ¦k. by allan maurer Michael J . McHale 's pr oduction of THE ODD COUPLE was good , light entertainment . It had the benefit of Neil Simon 's, lafflines, brevity , and BSC stage vet eran s in the major r oles . It had the drawbacks of being held in Carver— the small low stage and balcony suppor t columns strained the viewing comfort of much of the audience ; inexperienced actors in minor roles — they didn 't always wait for laughter to subside before ' blurtin g out new lines; and a somew hat barren , una ppealing set. But then James McCubbin has pro duced so many exquisitely effective sets that this one, a couc h and umteen doors, came as a shock. Performances in the Odd Couple ranged from excellent to adequate . Jim Berkhelser was consistently fine , Tony Kohl was good in sports , only adequate in others . Amy Raber and Velma Avery were neither spectacular nor were they poor . The poker players shared good and bad moments , but Neil Simon 's lines and what appeared to be good directin g always carried them. FELIX Berk heiser , who portrayed Felix, the meticulous , malady-rid den na g, dominated the show. He played Felix straight and be* lievably . In this show and others , Berkhe iser exhibited a flair for Art Carney-like comedy , elicting both sympathy and laughter from the audience . Berkheiser 's belivability as Felix added considerably to the shows ability to yank laughs from the audience . When his ears blocked up, my own popped , and the moss© call he did to unblock them was funnier than it might have been , because of Berkhei ser ' s ability to evoke rea lity and identification . When he nagged Oscar Crony Kohl), we laughed and felt sorry for Oscar . When Oscar threw the spagettiwhatever *lt -was on the out of sight wall and Felix cried out , ; "I' m going to clean it up, " believing he really could not stan d havin g it "slide down the wal l," was funn y, whereas his simply saying he would like to clean it , without belief, would lack humor . Furthermore , Felix's spasmo * tic movemen ts and odd physical quirks could have been easily over d one . They seemed to come rather naturall y to Berkhe iser 00. Tony Kohl as Oscar , the cynl* cal other half of the odd couple, gave a good but somewhat uneven K performance . A smile (cynical? ) accompanied most of his lines and I' m still not sure whether it was a part of his characterization or just nervous ener gy. Kohl had excellent moments thou gh. The scene near the show 's close, where Felix states , "th e blame is on your head Oscar ," ¦ and Oscar (Kohl), paces the stage mumblin g "t here' s somethin g on my head . He put it there . I can feel it .'' The ubiquitous smile was gone here . He took the part seri ously and the audience broke up (with laughter and odd and sundr y chuckles and even a clap or so). Tony 's desire to have the Pigeon girls come to the apart ment for dinner . . .and things , was also believable . And, when the girls made their entranc e (Amy Raber , Velma Avery ), his desire was quite understandable . That the girl' s per formances distracted my attention from their strate gically exposed anatom y is a compli ment to those per f ormances . I did see a male head here and there that was distinctly aimed at one spot (or two, or so) for the duration of the girls ' scene. Seriously, Velma and Amy both seemed to overdo the giddy , giggly, gamey gal bit . Still , it was never irr itatin g, totally. Velma seems to have a knack for this sort of farcical com* edy. Her voice , movements , and expressions express hilarity with smooth ease. Amy, who is a more subtle actres s, and who was off to the right (from my seat) and outflanked by Velma who had center stage and the bright lights , nonetheless acted as if the world were watching . There is a trick to enjoyin g Amy 's performanc es thou gh. Watch her face . She acts as much with her eyes , her lips, droo py expressions and lackada sical grins as she does with her voice and her body (neither of which , might I add , suff ers from underdevelppment — per haps I should say she is well balanced ? Perhaps I should get out of these pare nthesis. It' s getting stuffy in here .) The Poker Players (Carl Rosa . Russ Griffith , Ed Mor gan, Alan Klawiter ) all had good moments , and all appeared at times unsure of themselves. ALL IN ALL Rosa 's blank stare as another player smooshed him in the mug with a banana , Klawiter 's bathroom exit , Griffith' s ever smoking pipe , and Ed Morgan ' s real ly hilarious Murry , the cop, saved the poker scenes fro m being merely a recital of lines. I think one can safely say Director McHale is far better when doing strai ght drams , but his efforts at modern comedy, although impro ving, show some discomfort with the genre .

The buildings In this camp are unheated , and as a re sult when you ar r ive th ere on a chilly fall morning you'll sometimes see children shiver ing around a wood fire in thei parking lot . Some of them , I' ve heard , have been seen sleeping between two m attres ses f rom a lack of blankets . Many screen doors are torn and windows brok en. Some are covered with cardboard in a vain attempt to keep out the cold and flies. On hot after noons you notice first what strike s your nose. You see, the wor ke rs at the camp seem to use chamber pots and toss their content s out the door where children often play in bare feet. I infer from this that toilet facilities may not be adequate at Seescholtz. Now the State , I understan d , requires camps to be heated , to be in good repair , that blankets be provided , that there be adequa te toilet facilities , and that sanitary conditions be maint ained. I've heard that not all camps , fortunately , are as bad as Seescholtz and that some are compar atively good , so it's not my pur pose to condemn the opera tion of all emps . Still some may be as bad or worse , but it is hard to say since the operators , of some camps bar entry to outsiders and sometime s go to the length of posting guards to turn people away , or so I've heard. One wonders what they are hiding. (No guards , I hope , will be posted outside of Seescholtz as :, a result of this lett er.) As a citizen of the Common wealth , I'm ashamed that camps like Seescholtz are allowed to operate, and I hope that you will To the Editor: take swif t act i on to upgr ade not only t h i s camp, but others throu ghout the State. Only then will the camps be as good as our laws. Sincerely yours , Oliver J. Larml Fina ncia l Aid (contin ued fro m page one) "T his is the nature of the news media.

To the Bill Sanders: Obiter The high and exulted office of the OBITER wishes to express its desire that all people who have legitimately purchased a 1969 OBITER proceed without delay to this office and procure their book of artistic creativit y. Also, the aristocracy of the year book reques tsthat all humans who have any desire to purchase the 1970 OBITER do so at once. The benevolent editor of this book of remembrences has advised me to relate to you information of the price of the 1970 OBITER. So, hereby and forthwith , until date ot Januar y 31 , 1970 , all yearbooks will be sold at the wholesale price of eight dollars , approx. three pounds , five shillin gs and ten pence sterling for those of you who understan d only the British curren cy. After this date the yearbook shall skyrocke t to the inflationary price of ten dollars (four pounds , three shillings). In additi on to this , after the date of February 10 , 197u , the office of the OBITER will no longer accept orders from the populace. Massacre Lette r (continued from page two) but usuall y in Introduction to Philoso phy classes.) Are we to .suppose that revenge against the relat ives of the Viet C ong constitute a rea son "rational and right" for her ding them in ditche s and gunni ng them down? After all, as has been done elsewhere , the villagers rema ining could have been taken to camps. If we accept Private Meadlo 's testim ony, ' when ordered to "take care of them " he assumed it meant keep the m together until they could be taken to a camp. What makes the events more ghastl y, is that there is some evidence that the villagers who were eventually slaughtered had gathered in the t square , assuming that J s where they would be safe. (Eelievin g it was American practice not to har m those who came out in the ovdn.) Dr. Primack , himself said , "The survivors are now in a refugee camp. " He meant , of course , the survivors of the massacre. Strange that it did not occur to him that all could have been taken (as Meadlo assumed they would be) to refugee camps. Dr . Primac k's reasoning then , seems specious. At this junctur e, it appears that the particular evil at Songmy is not re levant to the question ofviiether the Americans are justified in fighting in Vietnam . The evil of Songmy is not merely an inherited evil from the war. It is then perfectly right (and must be done) to punish individuals who were involved. (Although this might unfortunately involve a whitewash of the war itself.) It is also right to pr aise those soldiers who refused to obey orders , and those (if this is true) who intercede d in an atte mpt to save lives. i As for the motives of those involved . Hardly (except for some semantic juggling) "rational and right. " Why not accept Private Meadlo 's test i mon y as somewhat par adigmatic here . Confusion , reven ge , per haps racism , and ORDERS ; these were involved. We should not overlook the power of the command.

Many respected scientists and national leaders have indicated that althou gh some positive steps have been taken , toxic, persistent pesticides are still accumulatin g In the world environment , reakin g destruction on fish and wildlife and threat ening man himself . Is the price we pay for these products in terms of their effect upon our environment wort h the benefits we obtain from them? The pollution of our rivers and lakes , and of the air inour urban areas continues to accelerate . Suburban sprawl continues to destr oy vast scenic and recreational resources , with little heed being given to pl ans to create workabl e environments. And the millions tra pped in our ur ban and rura l ghettos continue to su ffer the worst of the massive air , water , land and noise polluti on . Who will finally bear the brunt of this tra gic Irresponsibility ? The new generation now in school , the generation which will soon Inherit the wor ld environment . The time has come for all citizens to begin thinkin g about the basic questions raised by technological advances and environmental degradation . Students in America and the world , who are deeply concern ed with the hard choices which t h e i r generation faces , are uniquely well suited to take Initiatives in explori ng with all citizens the pro blems created by man's growing Impact upon his environment; In addition to bringin g this widespread Involvement , the tea ch.ln* would present information , draw the Issues , stimula te plans for action , and demonstrate the strength of concern for a liv able world . Furthermore , the environmental teach-ins present an unprecede nted opportunity for the involvement by student initiative of communities , organizations , lead er s , and concerned citizens of all gener ations in a common , nonpart isan effor t to meet a problem of far-reaching consequenc e. Thus , we are wr iting this letter to urge that all campuses in America participate in a br oad-based , student-led teachin effort , involving all individuals and groups who share this concern. Alr eady, the student response to this idea has been one of overwhelming support , and a number of campuses are now we ll into the process of plannin g April 22 teac h-ins . At the University of Michigan , a mass meet ing was called by an ad hoc stude nt committe e to plan a teach- in. More than 350 people showed up, and the plan is now ' well under way . University officials and faculty were also contacte d by the students for their support and advice, a step which we believe is important for suc cess. We look forward to the April 22, event and ask your support and leadership. We are convinc ed that , if young people put their ener gy, imagination and Idealism to wor k on this issue they will help wr ite a bri ght new chapter in the struggle for a livable wor ld.
