Bloodmobile On
the Move At BSC

Pr eparations are well under
way for the 18th annual Ameri can Red Cross Bloodmobile visit
to the campus of Bloomsburg
State College in Centennial Gymnasium on Thursda y, March 12,
1970, from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45
p.m. The Bloodmobile Committee , under the co-chairmans hip
of Anthon y Kohl , Nort hampton ,
and Mrs. Karen Bloom , Bloomsburg, launched its campaign this
weak to solicit students , faculty ,
and non-teachin g personnel to be
donors. The committee hopes to
at least matc h the 496 pints of
blood donate d at last year 's
bloodmobi le visit , accordin g to
George G. Stradtman , facu lty coor dinator .
A substantial turnout of donors
on the March 12 visit could assure the Bloomsburg area Priority 1 status. Over the years ,
partici pation has been largely
responsible for the Bloomsburg
area remaining in Priorit y 1

status most of the ti me. Since
the first bloodm obile visit to
the BSC campus on Februar y 12A
1953 , when there were 183 pints
of blood collected , there has been
a total of 5,121 pints collected
from college community parti cipants.
Strad tman indicated that a
booth will be set up outside of
Husky Lounge to enlist the name s
of students who intend to donate
blood and faculty members wiU
be solicited through inter-col lege correspondence. An impor tant change starting with thi s
visit is that it is no longer necessary for a student under 21
years of age to have a signed
parental slip indicating permiss ion to donate blood.
In addi tion to the response
that is expected from the college community , it is hoped that
a substantial number of walk ins , compr ised oi residents of
the Bloomsburg are a , will par ticipate in the March 12 visit .

Last week we conducted a last
ditch effort to find support for
a Junior Prom , by circulatin g a
questionairje . Out of a class of
about 750 students , we received
31 replies. Even tak ing into account the fact that some people
would not be aware ot the ques tionnaire and that others would
simply not take time to return
it , we still believe that 31 people is a pretty poor response .
If we wer e to disregard the
appare nt lack 'of interest and go
ahead and plan the prom , we
would have to make arran gements
for the entire class . It would
mean a tremendous loss of money to the class if we then did
not receive a major ity support .
We therefore have decided that
it would be foolish to go on with
any plans for this year , and in*
stead will try to learn from
this lesson and start planning
the prom for next year . To those
of you who said that you might
be able to help on a prom com*

In Memory Of

Malcolm X

On a Sunday afternoon in New the shor t life of a powerful and
York City , February 21 , 1965 , respected black man . Some said
a hail of assassins' bullets ended that he deserved it,. Others said

that he was a black racist. Still
others said that he wa s a friend
to all. This man, who at his
death had in his pocket a list
of persons seeking to kill him;
this man , who fought ardently for
the black man in America ; this
'man , who had sacrific ed all for 1
his beliefs; thi s man was M alcolm X.
But wasn't he a Elac k Muslim? Didn 't he advocate separation of the races? Didn't he call
us white people the "white devils? " Didn 't he reject the middle class or bourgeoisie Negroe s who were trying to find a
place in society? Didn 't he advocate a type of violence ? The
answer to all of these que stions
is a yes but with some reserva nuns.

Wasn 't he a Black Muslin? Yes,
Malcolm X was a Black Muslim.
He devoted twelve years of his
life to preach ing the words and
teachings of Mohammed . M alcolm became second in line , only
inferior to the soleailed honorable Elijah Muhammed , leader
of the Musli m movement in America. After condemning Elijah Muhammed for disob eying many of
the devout Islam rules , M alcolm
X was banished from the organization. He then Initia ted his own
blac k organization known as the
Organization for Afro -American
Unity. To its members he pre ached the true Islam religion and
joined in praying to their one god
Allah . The dominant theme of the
true Islam religion was the common brotherhood of all men. Does
being a Black Muslim condem n
a man ? H ardly .
Didn 't he advocate separation
of the races and disapp rove of
integration? Again , yes. But was
this really bad? The white man ,
has been separating races tor '
centuries. The whit e society has
been seemingly functi oning alone
and not worrying about the red ,

Kay Dismisse d For
Questionable Reasons

Dr . Michael Kay, a pr ofessor
at We st Chester State College ,
was refused continuous employment at tha t college due to circumstan ces tha t ar e cons idere d
questionab le by many student s
and faculty at West Chester and
other Penna. Colleges. The Kay
Case has prompte d a student sitin coordin ated by the student
governm ent and a nu mber of
C ourt cases involving faculty ,
administr ators , and most notably, college President Rossey.
M any students and faculty at
this college consider the West
Cheste r situation to be reve lent
to situatio ns at Bloomsburg, particularly that concerni ng Dr .
Maxwe ll Prim ack. The following
article , repr inted by special arrangement from the West Chester student newspaper , was wr itten by Student Government Pres ident , Larry D»Antonlo. It sxpr esses student opinion in regard to the Kay case :
Dr. Mich ael Kay Is a leading
historian . He is an authority on
Afro -American History and the
State of North Carolina. He is
the most published member of
the history department and is
currently working on a book to
be published soon. Dr. Ka.y is
considered a superior teacher
by a majority of the student s
who have had the good fortun e to
be in his class. He is superior , in that , he is relevant ; he
instills a desire to know the
truth in his pupils. He is a
man who is so consummately
concerned with justice , that he
re semble s an evan gelist.
In short . Dr . Kay is different.
Dr . Kay has been fired.
There is no doubt that fear of
Dr . Kay 's ideas and activities ,
on the part of the Board members and top level administrat ors , was the leading motivation
behind the dismissal. What the
hell else could it be? The reasons given by the administration
are invalid and an effrontery to
Dr . Kay 's dignit y . Rumors has
it that Dr. Kay is a Marxist ,
and if you ever want to scare
# someone , just say the word
"Marxist . "
Dr . Kay assiste d the Black students in their requests before the
administration. If you ever want
to give an "Amer ican Patriot "

yellow , or black man that may
get trampled in the masses. But
is the white man being assailed because of this separation ?
But why was he against integration ? Isn't it trying to help the
blac k man? Yes , it is trying,
but is it ra pidly succeedin g?
M alcol m X saw the slow progress
of integration and wasn't impressed . His people had been
waiting, working , and strivin g
for four hundred years and what
had it achieved — a seat on a
bus , a chanc e to drink the, same
w at er as ever y one else , a ch ance
to vote
Were these small
steps worth four hundred year s
of waiting ? Did the white man
make the Irish immigrant and
Polish immigrant wait four hun dred years and then begin to integrate them? How could Mal colm X not be disillusioned by
this phenomena called integra 11U11.

WHITE DE V I LS
Did n 't he call us white people

the "white devils? " Yes , but
can we really blame him? When.
Malcolm was four year s old his
house was burned to the ground
by a grou p of white men. Malcolm, at the age of six learned
of his father being kille d and
evidence pointed to a grou p of
white persons . He left school in
the eighth grade mainly because
a white teacher told him he must
adjust his life to prepare for.
the low level in which he must
live. M alcolm saw white social
and welfare workers take his
mother away to a mental institution . M alc olm had to steal to live
in a white man 's society and
then was placed in a white man 's
prison . Can we blame him for
callin g tho white man a "white
devil " . No , but that was just a
minority of white people that did
him dirt. We as members of the
good white race wouldn't do such
things. But our just being members of the white race make s
us guilty as the actual house
burner s, wh ite tea cher , etc. that
affected the life of Malcolm X.
Didn 't he reject even those middle class and bourgeoisie Negroes who were trying to establish
a place in society ? The answer
is yes, but why ? Malcolm said,
and with j ustification , that , man y
of these Negroes were just pup pets of the white man. In their
r ace to the top they tr ampled
some blacks and made it harder
f or man y oth er mem bers of t he
black rac e to achieve a place
in society. Too many Uncle Tom
Negroes were being; created . Can
we even begin to ar gue ?
Didn 't he advocate a type of
violence ? Again , yes but why
did he advoc ate this violence?
M alcolm X said ,
"I am for violence If nonviolence means we continue postponing a solution to the American
b lac k man 's pr oblems — just to
within the broad base guide lines
(for evaluation of professors.)
Q. " You have state d t hat you
ha d some I nf orma ti on concern ing
Dr. Kay before the report of the
evaluation committee was completed . In the pr ocedur e of appeal
concern ing the non -renewal of
contracts of untenured profe ssor ,
the president Is an appeallate
author ity. Do you feel that the in*
formation you had prior to your
decision about Dr , Kay in any way
compro mised or biased your
position as an appellate authority?"
A. "No , NOT in any way whatsoever. As a matter of fac t the

assum ing that when you are talking about prior knowled ge you are
saying of events that happened on

college community here anyway,
and that was dismissal from the

exactly as you know the Irish ,
the Pole s, or the Jews would be
if they were flagrantly discriminated against . I am just as
they would ,be for violence — no
matter what the consequences ,
no ma tter who was hurt by the
violence."
Can Malcolm X be justifi ably
proved wrong for his belief in
violence? M ost likely not.
Malcolm X was trul y a messenger of and for the black race.
Although- many regarded him 'as
radical , his basic assum ptions
are hard to dispro ve. I , as a
member ot white society, feel a
shame and a guilt after realis ing the opp ression of 22 million
citizens of our countr y for so
many years .
Although Malcolm X honored
and solely respected and suppor ted most blacks and their
causes , he did have a few white
friends . He believed the white
man could help the black man
if only he (the white man) could
admit his guilt and regard all
people as human beings. Only
then can the white man begin to
better the lives ot all mankind .
Is it so hard for us to adn.it
our guilt ? Can we not start right
now and regard everyon e as our
brother?
Saturday , February 21 , commemorated the fifth year since
the death of Malcolm X. Can we,
the white society, not honor ibis
man with our admittance of shame
and guilt , and then set out to
strive for a better world for all
people ?
Yes , M alc olm X may be called
a radic al , but in the words of the
black actor Ossie Davis who
spoke at the funeral of Malcolm
X:
"Many will ask what Harlem has
to honor in thi s stormy , controversial and bold youn g captain. . ..They wiU say that he
is of hate — a fanatic , a racist — who can only bring evil
t o the cause tor which you strug gle !
"An d we will answer and say
unto them: Did you ever talk to
Brother Malc olm? Did you ever
touc h him or have him smile at
you? Did you ever listen to him?
Did he ever do a mean thin g?
Was he ever himself associa ted with violence or any public
disturbances? For if you did you
would know him: Malcolm was
our man h ood , our living black
manhood 1 This was the meaning
to his people . And in honoring
him , we honor the best in our selves. . .. .And we will know
him then for what he was and
is — a Prince — our own black
shining Prince! — who didn 't
hesitate to die , because he loved
us so."
Tom Henry
pro f essor . As a matter of proper
administra tive procedure this
case was reviewed many, many
times over as a result of our
antici pation of question s about
the decision. W e rev iewed I t as
a result of visitations I had with
members of the histor y department. Onc e again it was reviewed
and I feel that the entire matte r
of investigation , as far as the
president was concerned , uwiure
my decision was reached , had to
do solely with actions and pre formances on our campus alone .
Q, " Were any of the channels
of appeal blocked to Dr. Kay?"
A. "NO . "
Q. "Do you have any comment
of last night' s "Candlelight Process ion " (Wednesday, Jan. 7?)
A. "NO , TRUTHFULLY I did
not see it. The only thing I heard
about it was from Chief Ber ger ,
and he said it was very orderly. "
Q, "Would you consider action
by IGA or the students In general as a legitimate means of

showing suppor t for the rein statement of Dr. Kay?"

Policy
Stated

Editor 's Note: This memo was
received from Dr . Nossen concernin g the Dismissal of Dr .
Prima ck.
Because I have heard a number
of conflictin g reports concerning
appointment and re-a ppointment
pra ctices at this college, I am
offering the following synopsis
of prevailin g policies for the
information of all who are concerned . The full statement , as
adopted by the Board of Trus- ~
tees , dated April 26 , 1968 , is
available in the Library. It was
initiated by a faculty committee
and was approved by the faculty
during the Spring semester , 1968.
A new faculty member shall
receive an appointment for one
year , which MAY be renewed for
the remainder of the three -year
pro bationary per iod . During the
first academic year of the pr obationary per iod , however , the
President of the College shal l
infor m the faculty member at
least ninety days before the end
of the college year whether his
services will be desired for the
following academic year , September to May Inclusive .
Although not specifically writt en in the policies , it is generally
understood within the pr ofession ,
and accepted by outside pr ofessional organizations , that non-renewa l of a first-year ter m appoint ment need not be accomp anied by any state ment of justification .
After the expiration of the probationary period of three years ,
the faculty member may be granted cont inuous employment , subject to the ret irement policy
of the College , if , in the course
of the faculty member 's third
year of employment , the College
administration does not desire to
place him on continuo us employ ment , the President of the College
shall so notify the faculty member at least sixty days before
the end of that year , provided
that the Preside nt of the College
shall set up specific requirements on a yearly basis subjec t
to rev iew at the end of each
semester .
Bloomsburg state College observes the above procedures as
minimal ; whenever possible , it
exceeds the basic req uirements. Should a fac ulty member
at any time feel that his per sonal
or professio nal rights have been
violated , he has access to a
standing Committee on Profe ssional Affair s , consisting of elected teaching faculty, char ged with
the responsibility for hear ing ,
adjudicating, and recommend *
ing action on any approp riate
profe ssional matter brought be*
fore it .

necessary. Unfortun ately he did
not .
President Nossen» s c olumn
was in resp onse to the following question from a studen t: "i s
it true that Dr . Prim ack of the
Philoso phy Departme nt is being
dismissed due to his political
activities? If not , wh at ar e th e
reasons for his dismissal? "
Rather than answer the question , President Nossen cr iticized
t h e stu dent who ask ed it for ask ing
it in in the first plac e. He went I
into considerable detail concer ning the motivations of the student in quest ion, and suggest ed that she , by asking her question , had implied that I was being fired for political reas ons.
I believe this was both unfair
and unfortunate. Unfair because
askin g a question need not imply any answer. The person who
asked the question may hav e simply wanted reassuranc e from Dr .
Nossen that I am not being removed from Bloomsburg for political reasons. Certainly many
of the readers of the M&G would
have appr eciated such reas surance. President Nossen's refusal to answe r the question prob ably create d doubts in the minds
of many where none had existed
before.
President Nossen , after point ing out that Bloomsburg has regular procedure s for faculty removal , asserted somewhat stridently (IN CAPITAL LETTER S)
that no faculty members with any
self respect or professionall y ,
would want the question to be
answered as stated .
I believe that President Nossen was making a special ref erence to me even thou gh my
name was not ment ioned. (Individuals may be talked about without any use of pr oper names .
As far as I am concerned use
of Innuendo is no virtue. ) In
t he context of President Nossen 's remar ks at the last Faculty Meeting, concer ning a certain
faculty member who was using
stu dents by di ctat in g letters of
supp ort (H ere again I was not
mentione d by name ) I inte rpret
t he upper case portion of the Presidential Hotline to mean that:
Since there are establis hed pro cedures for deciding whet her or
not a faculty member should be
remove d, it is impr oper for students to ask questions about such
matters. And all decent faculty

member s should disassocia te
th emselves from such student
efforts . This suggests that student questioning of decision pro cedure s fr om which thev ar e excluded constitutes a threa t to
t hose proce dures , and an intent tcforce decisions in some other
way. (I am not sure of this ,
but this is the only way I can
make sense of what President
Nossen said in capital letters.)
I agree with this , in part . Question s of facult y removal or retention should be settled by regular procedures. And at present
regular procedures
the
at
Bloomsburg State C ollege exclude student participation .Hopefully in the future this will change
and students will have a significant role In determining such
questions. (I say thi s even though
I failed to get a job at the New
School of San Jose State College of California , which has
student partici pation , because the
students felt I was too old and
conservative.) But the fact Is
that at present students at
Bloomsburg do not participate
in such decisions , and there is
realistically no way in which
this can be changed in time to
affect my case .
H owever , I do not believe that
because students at pre sent are
excluded from the decisions mak ing pro cess that asking questions
and expressing their views is
illegitimate , or that they are incapable of doing so at their own
initi ative.

ask whether or not any professor ' of • the school which she is
attendin g is being remove d for
reasons of his political activi ties even though she does not
partici pate in the pr esent decision pr ocess. She has a right
because such Issues are of concern t o ever y mem ber of the
Bloomsburg academic community , because it concerns the nature of BSC as an educational
institution and the quality of the
educ ation it pro vides. I would go
so f ar as to say that a lac k of
concern about such Issues is evidence of a stu dent' s disinterest
in his education .
Pres ident Nossen then goes on
to mak e a p ro f ession of hi s belief
in academic freedom and claim
that it exists on this campus. I
disagree. Academic freedom is
not guaranteed by rule s — although rules help. Academic freed om re quires a state of m ind,

Principal Nossen , excuse me ,
PRESIDENT Nossen (I keep thinking BSC is some sort of glorified high school , sorry ) has yet
to give any good basis for his
decision. Perhap s he would have ,
had he not had a meetin g to go to.
Perhaps . Maybe he just doesn't
have any. Maybe he 's just another
pawn in the game , a game of no
rules , a game of lies passing
as truths , of personalities ver sus authorities , of rumor s and
power and God knows what else .
Rumor s. They have it that the

F ootball has a lot less action
than hockey and basketball , accordin g to an article in the current issue of Sport Magazine .
The article reveals that the
ball is actually in play for less
than 13V2 minutes in a pro football game, or less than 9 per cent
of the '2V2 hours it takes to play
the avera ge game .
College football fares even
worse , according to the study in
Sport , with the ball in play less
than 8 per cent of the game .
Contrastingly, the puck is in action the full 60 minutes in hockey
and the ball is in play the full
48 m i nutes in pro basketball.

This article is an updating of
Athlete 's Foot Febr uary 27 , when
I pointed out the poor athletic
facilities at Bloomsbur g.
First , the new fieldhouse is
under construc tion and will be
finished July 15, 1971. The delay
on the gym has been caused by a
multitude of technicalities
in in Jun e. The
1969,
^irst bids came
but they were $560,000 over the
$1, 850 ,000 that the state had allotted . So, bids were sent out
again in October , 1969, but this
time they were $572 , 000 over .
The college then contacte d the
General State Author ity (GSA)
for the extra money from the unallocated sur plus . This is a "kitty " of unused funds when bids

tween drinking hemlock and being dismissed from this institution ," he said. Dr. Nossen told
Dr . Primack that he had not been
dismissed but had not been placed
for continuous employment. Primack then indicated that he was
unwii'Ingly leaving BSC because
n*> ivas considered to be detrimental to the Welfare of the college because he was a part of
some conspiracy to disrupt
college campuses. "Some, guy in
Chicago said, "Your assignment
i s BSC , Primack ," he facetiously remarked. Dr. Nossen indicated that these WERE NOT
the reasons Dr. Primack had
not been granted continuous employment . "I love to be wrong,*'
Primack then said. "I don 't want
to be right in this case."
CGA President Jeff Prosseda
urged the group to base opinions
on fact, not emotion. Dr. Nossen
thanked Jeff and left for another
meeting.
With Dr. Nossen1s exit , discussion was handicapped in regards to administrative "sides of
stories. " However, a number of
relevant remarks were made in
Nossen 's absence. Avarama Gingold of the Sociology Department
stated that dismissing a professor who has been favorably
evaluated by colleagues indicates
that the administration considers
only the dismissed professor to
be incompetant but also the col.
leagues who did the evaluating.
Subsequently, they offend students by indicating that they are
being taught by incompetence.
Michae l Hock added that administrators claiming that they
may remain silent on certain
issues further offened the students because, ''their opinions
are thus considered invalid and
their inquiries are considered
inpertlnant.
Tom Brennen , Editor of the
G ADF LY , in response to remarks
Dr . Nossen had made concerning vicious attacks made on him
by GADFLY , stated that he wished to publically challenge Dr.
Nossen to bring suit against his
publication.
At the end of the meeting,

Kay 's future at West Chester.
Last spring, a screening committee met on Dr. Xay and recommended continuation of contract. Dr. Carlson , Chairman
of the History Department, formed that committee , but Dr.
Carlson was on sabbatical leave
for the fall semester of this year ,
and Dr . Riley, the Acting Chairman , formed a new committee.
How could Dr. Hay possibly be
judged by his peers when most
of the members of this new committee do not have their doctorates ? Why was a new committee
formed when the old committee
had recommended continuation of
Dr. Kay 's contract , and when
more than a maj ority of the history department supports him?
These questions go unanswered .
President Rossey said he welcomed dissent. Therefore, if we
are to assume this is true , Dr.
Kay and President Rossey should
be best of friends. If President
Rossey welcomes dissent , he
should welcome Dr. Kay, because
he is a dissenter .
It may be that Dr. Rossey
hears, but never listens; talks
but never speaks , hearing only
what he wants to hear. The time
has come for the President to
"listen to the warm ," because
the heat's on. A general studentfaculty meeting should be called
by Dr. Rossey where this issue
could be debated on the stage
and from the floor of the auditoriumIn conclusion, the firing of Dr.
Kay has led to two serious consequences. Cne, many good
people may leave in Dr. Kay's
wake. Second , by dismissing this
man Kay, the President is responsible for what will be the
gr adual destruction of free
thought , dissent, and involvement. If it can be done to Kay,
or Owens, or Sykes, it can be
done to anyone. And you all know
that.
me mbers of the Philosopy Club
decided to for m "F act finding " committees to find if there
has been a breach of Academic
Freedom in the case of Dr .
Primack. Findings will be released later.
