G. Porter The Board of Trustees on July 7, 1969 published a statement informing students that << Bloomsbur g State College believes in a government of law and not men ". Students were furthe r advised in the statement that they were not to engage in violent demonstrations to pressur e men into chan ge but rat her were to change the laws peacefully if they didn't like things . Not liking things last year the students tried to get a new college law adopted called the Joint Statement on Students Rights. This winter thanks to Pres. Nossen the new law was adopted by the Board of Trustees. Unfortunate ly, a lar ge number of recent incidents make It clear that the College administration does not believe with the Trustees in a government of law but rather they obviously believe that me n (t hemse lves) are above the law. Dean Hunsinger on Feb. 16th , hearing that three students 60 miles away from the campus had allegedly gone on a drunken orgy of stealing and breakin g into cars , suspended the students for two weeks. By this single action he violated the Joint Statement in thre e different ways (cf. pp 15 , 19, 20). When the students returned to the campus on M onday March 2nd , they had a hearing before Dean Norton. He suspended them indefinitel y despite the fact that they had been cleared by the civil authorities of all char ges and had violated no college rules. Thi s action by Dean Norton involves six violations of the Joint Statement (cf. pg. 17). Even thou gh the parents of the boys questi oned his action they did not receive a hearing befor e the Student-Facult y Judiciary but were instead told to take their appeal to Dean H uns inger (a p roce dure now h ere prescr ibed). Another violation of the Joint Statement (cf. pg. 20) Dean Hunsinger told the boys they could come back in Septem ber. The result of all this for the boy s? P arents an d towns peop le are making them pay In shame for what they did on Feb. 14th but on top of thi s they are to lose ti me on their education and suffer exposure to the draft. Norton misinformed the boys when he told them that they would rece ive the same punishment from the Student-Facult y J udiciar y as they would receive from him and Dean Hunsinger. Nor ton had just the pre vious weekl FRIDAY. MARCH 13> 1970 BLCEOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE J ^BpBBY ed.au/... seen the S-F Judiciary throw out a case against Elmer Chase becaus e the Deans had violated the Joint Statement. The S-F Ju diciary doesn't want to be sued. Dean Hunsinger misinforme d me when he told me I couldn 't accompany the boys (at the parents request) into a hearing before him. He told me that it wasn't a disciplinary hearing, that no disciplinary action was to be taken. Then he suspended them unti l Son*- Pres. Nossen (sorry kids , no "new er a of J ustice") sent me a memo onv March 4th reporting on his investigation of the affair. In it he said the Executive Coun cil of the Student Affairs Committee had decided that disciplinar y action was to be taken against the three boys. Accord ing to severa l members of the E xecutive C ounc il they made no such decision. Obviously someone on ine Dean of Student' s Staff is giving falae information to the President. This is a practice of some members of that staff of which the President has been apprised over this past year by several people including myself. I think there is a State law which says that public officials must not consciously utter untrut hs and must correct , publicly, untrut hs which they Inad vertently spread.

Th e system or the est ab lishment which Is run by these pigs, is wron g and must be chan ged , by force if necessary. " These are Just a few of the remarks indicitive of tho se made by the Insurrectionists who wer e recently found guilty in the Chicago riot trial s. They made a complet e mocker y of our court system and ' a duly constituted official of the court , the Honorable Juliu s Hoffman. Yet in spite of the contem pt in which they hold our system , they are free today because of this ver y system which they so despise . Judge Hoffman should be commended for the strict manner in which he conducted the trial in view of the extenuating cir cumstances which engulfed the courtr oom. He was definitely J ustified in sentencing these crimin als to J ail for contem pt of court and that is where they should have *• stayed. They openly advocate d the overthrow of our government and should be regarded , as Judge Hoffman classified them , as detrimental to the wellbeing of our society. But as been so unfortunate with similar cases in the past , these ra dicals have been released by some high-up court official who is apparently listening to the whims of this vocal minority of troublemakers , who inter pret the idea of personal rights beyond the point of sensibility, instead of doing what Is correct. It is because of soft court officials and laxtdaslcal state and local administrators such as these that our society is in the disheaveled condition that it is today. If after being proven guilty by trial by Jury, punish ment f or these cr iminals was swift and severe , I believe that our entire society would be stren gthened. I believe that this same "gettough** policy should be applied , to colleges where proven nondesirables and radical Insurrec tionists detrimental to the good of the entire community should be gotten rid of. This policy should be applied to be the students and facult y. At times dissent is necessary for it keeps those who are in power on guard against being corru pted by power. But those who advocate and take part in the overthrow or the attem pted over thro w of our way of life , a son ponent s to such an extent that it would seem VP Hag new (a rare Afr ican anima l of some sort or another) and Bean Dungslinger have finally met their matc h (a real flamer) .

Yes, the type of Sillyglrly can be traced throu gh the all time great s of history; such as: Ivan the Terr ible , Attlla the Hun , C ortes , Genghis Khan , Fu Manchu , Richard Nixon, and Benelux the Inco mpetent .

(continued from page one ) llnrnef I would like to set up this committee to help talk about the problems you find on the Bloomsburg Campus. This committee would set up meetings twice a month where students , faculty and administration could all come together and expres s their views on the Bloomsburg campus . The committee would take decisions made at these meetin gs and brin g them before the college council where action will be taken . This would be an official standing committee of College government . 5. Community Government to Student Government This will be the biggest change in the government of the college I will work for . Since the faculty will soon be under its own constitution there is really no need for our present community government association but rather a document should be drawn together uniting the students into a governing body with powers to legislate policies involving the students . At present administrators sit on council with voting privileges . This is ridiculous and must be stoppe d. This is my platform probabl y scary to the conservatives and not enough to the radicals , but to go along with my platform is a justification of my policies through my opinion of the relationshi p I see between the school and the student . in early periods of American history the school was an authoritarian institute . The leaders realized what an important fac tor education would play on the existence of the nation . Because the people wer e all wra pped up in self survival they had no time to think about going to school therefore rules had to be made to force a boy or 'girl to go to school . Once the student was there strict rules had to be established to keep him there and make him learn. Since then we have come a long way . No longer does today 's student need that force placed on him. He realizes the need for education and pursues those goals. Now the school is a politi cal organization and must not hinder the students educa tion . He has the right to decide wher e he wants to go to school and what he wants to study. The school s pur pose is to teach him what he wants to learn. The school s pur pose is not to tell you where to eat , not to tell you where to live , not to tell you what you must study, not to tell you what to do with your life out of the classroom . The students purpo se is to get an education and make sure he learns what he wants to learn. If he is being inhibited in any way, act ion must be ta ken to stop t he authority involved and open the pathway to knowledge .
