JOHN CHOYKE CGA Vice-Presiden tial Cand idate JANET BOYANOSK I C6A Presid ential Candidate Ed. Note : Janet Boyanoski, John Choyka, Mary Ellen Zukas, Skip Wills, and Linda Zyla, candidates for CGA president, vice president, recording secretary , treasurer and corresponding secretary respectively, have submitted the following open letter to the college community stating their objectives . TO THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY: As free-thinking, independent students at this institution we feel the need for a change. So much is wrong, so much is confused. In an effort to remedy this situation we are offering our time and our energy . We are ready to work "independently together" for the betterment of BSC. The purpose of this letter is to present our platforms—or the objectives for which we will work should we be elected. Actually, it is impossible to list all the things on this campus that need change, so we will just attempt to highlight those items which we feel need most work. First and foremost is CGA itself . As an efficient, working body it leaves much to be desired. We need a complete standing committee reorganization. We need to add some committees and delete others. With our college rap idly growing to attain university status , we must constantly update the rules which govern us. Thus the need for a constitutional review committee. Also , a standing budget committee would be a worthwhile aim. They would be responsible for keeping the rest of College Council aware of exactly h ow our activity money is being spent.

This would not only shorten the discussions at the actual CGA meetings, but also present a more honest and truthful view of the situation. But most importantly, we need a strong executive committee. By taking all decision-making power away from "ihe executive council" we are actually weakening ourselves. These are, obviously, some decisions to be made between meetings, usually on the spur of the moment. Since MEET THE CANDIDATES MIKI SIPTROTH CGA Presiden t Candid ate for (USP) MARY ECLEN ZUKAS CGA Recordin g Secreta ry Candid ate the constitution does not provide for these situations, what happens? Nothing? We feel we can hardly remain an effective body as long as we are to function only on Monday nights. Once we do get the committee situation organized , we then need people to operate under them . This ia why we would like to initiate some committees consisting primarily of freshmen. If we can create an interest in Bloomsburg in these students as soon as they arrive, it may be easier to hold their interest , throughout their career here. Another aspect for consideration is CGA and the Senate. Unless we straighten out our problems - and soon - and unless we begin to work unitedl y towards some goals and forget about petty problems and per- LINDA ZYLA CGA Cor respond ing Secreta ry Cand idate sonality differences , we will be rendered useless. The Senate, as it now stands, will be capable of usurping whatever little decisionmaking power we have left. What becomes, then of student voice and student opinion? We've got to unite now-while there's still one last hope of receiving College Council. We will not be so immature as to think all our successes will be immediate. We realize there will be setbacks and obstacles to overcome. Growth and change come but slowly-and we are willing to give a little patience and a lot of hard work toward these goals.

If I said , "I am a Communist" (which , for the record, I' m not) , there are those people who w ould only have to look as f ar a s my cartoons, letters, and hair, before nodding in grimly sage affirmation. The coin has two sides...if I fabricated a list of unbelievably horri d atrocities that were supposedly being committed upon North Vietnamese prisoners by Allied interrogators , I can be sure that many peop le would accept my accounts as being tr ue (however , I don 't hav e to make any fabrications abo ut atrocities being committed in Vietnam. No one has to, because they ARE being committed — by both sides). But all this didn 't surprise me because it' s been happening for a long time . The hard-hat syndrome , which is charac terized by ext reme aut horit arianism, has played a large part in politics. The construc tion workers who attacked anti- war demonstrators in New York City and the outraged smnU-town citizens who called into t he radiostat ion think in a bsolutes.

The latter purpose was definitely j us t ified , since t he Oakland Police Department was never known for its benevolence toward the black commu nity. Naturally , the police got uptight and indignant. Wh o were these uppity niggers who had the goddamn gall to maintain surveillance on the law enforcers? They didn 't allow Civilian Rev iew Boards to play watch dog since , as one police officer maintained , " ail reports of police brutalit y are figmen ts of their imaginations ." So why should they allow the Pan thers to watc h them? that. For all these hundreds of years black people have had the thrust of their hear ts against racism , because racism has been what has been murde ring them. So black people oppose racism.

So, white America , we can rant and rave all we want about the Panthers and their violence, but one fact remains and that is: we MADE them that way.

I think the questionaire shows the interest of students toward the "accurate and interesting articles " of the M&G. Why has this informa tion been suppressed? Could it be that the editors are afraid to release the startlin g news tha t very few people give a — for our "school newspa per?" Certainly the studen t body knows this. How abou t the editors? David Kistler i Mr. Kistler : Several months ago the M&G had a run-in with a petition to stifle its existence. You were one of the perpetrators. The petition got about 80 signatures . Which is about how many responses we got from the questionaire , plus another 45. We learned that people turn to the news page first (naturally , it' s page one ) , that they rea d the features , the sports . _ We learned that some people don 't like "obsceni ties," while others could care less, while others say they object to fourletter words and then answer that what the M&G needs most is, you got it , more four-letter words . The resp onse was great enough to be indica tive of somethin g, but we don 't know what , but we didn 't , at the beginning or anyti me, say a thing about publishin g the results , as the questionaire was run as a seeking out of opinions and nothin g more. (So, there was little information to BE "suppressed. ") Okay, Mr.' K., you say very few people care about our "school newspaper ". But even you cared (ahem ) enough to circulate that petition. So ya see, the editors don 't feel tha t no one, as you so vividly put it , gives a — for us, because this semester we've got more letters and articles anc responses than ever. To Mr. Greg Johnson : My congratulations , Mr. Johnson. You are the first person who wrote against me who made some sense and who wrote maturely and with intelligence . You made some good points and I can understand how you came about them. I myself have asked if it all was necessary ; if it all was a waste. As Mr. Geary pointed out in an earlier issue, we have a no-win war policy. But to quit now, would be suicide , to this nation. Unfortunatel y, Mr. Johnson , you are a quitter.

The drug store steps and c o m i c book world were much more successful. Even walks , on breeze-kissing days when you could smell the grass, were better than the dim and solemn edifice, that dim and solemn ceremony that signified CHURCH.

He ma kes 'sense, this Jay Rochelle. Although I still have dreary connotations of ministers preachers, and men-of-the-cloth in general , people who make sense, like Mr. Rochelle and, in other, different contexts, the Berrigans , are reshaping my image of the clergy . It is not at all good to stuff human beings in cubby holes, labeled, prejudged boxes, and it is good when someone like Mr. Rochelle comes along and rips the nails out of your boxes. Portions of Mr. Rochelle 's "thing, " as he calls the worship guides he includes in "C&C". are still tied to the traditional church, and these are a bit heavy for my own, admittedly unchurch-like tastes, but I like the style, the mood, and the atmosphere, of his f olk masses, hymns, songs, and r esponses , even when their content seems heavy staring at you from a printed page. Besides, the spirit of JR' s ideas comes1 across with a ZAP of energy as potent as those good old Cap tain Marvel bounced off his chest in the comics. And, af ter , all, in the Rev. Mr. ' Rochelle's line, it's the spirit of things that count. Bill Glass Crusades Bill Glass, former defensive back for the Cleveland Browns when they were NFL and division champions , was on campus Saturday March 20. Glass played football for 22 years including his years at Baylor University, where he graduated with a B.A. in 1957. In 1963 he received a B.D. degree from Southwestern Seminary, and afterwards played pro ball until June 1969 when he retired from the game. Bill Glass first became interested in evangelistic work while playing in the NFL, and concentrated on this in the offseason. As a result, five years ago he was invited to go all over the country and speak on his Christian experience. The main purpose for Bill Glass being here lies in the Susquehanna Valley Crusade for Christ. This program started Saturday with a leadership banquet and preparations will continue until September 5, when the Crusade begins. During this summer , volunteers from churches of all denominations in the valley will make commitments to Christ and be trained in showing others the way. This part will consist of a series of Spiritual Preparation Rallies which will last un til the end of August . The actual crusade will start September 5 and continue til Sept. 12. After the crusade is over, those who made commitments participate in a seven week follow-up program . An interesting fact here is that 40 per cent of those who do make commitments ha ve no church affiliation. Alter the banquet, Bill Glass spent the rest of his limited time on campus speaking to students in Carver Hall. A lively discussion evolved in which Bill explained how Christianity is a way of life and not a religion. It becomes part of your everyday life and it is just not something Black Stude nt Society Meets with Eng. Dept. Bill Glass you put on Sunday mornings . Some people came with the attitude of refusing to believe in Christ's existence but Bill Glass made them think a little bit about it and showed them a different view of Christianity .

The Black Student Society , in the spirit of this statement by its presiden t Glenn Lang, has taken another step toward a more relevant academic program at BSC. On March 18, the Society met with the English Department , to introduce ways in which English courses could reflect the aims and accomplishments of the black man in literature. Opening lines of communication between the students and the Department was another stated aim of the meeting. Dr. Louis Thompson , Department Chairman, introduced the members of his department and the thirteen representatives of the Society, and together wi th Lang, presided over the discussion . He asked if the Black studen ts had encoun tered any myths or stereotypes in the BSC community . Several members of the Society said that they definitely had, and that it was their hope that the English Department could help destroy these fallacies. The students felt that Freshman Composition courses were one area in which this could be done. They urged the acceptance of the black dialect and terms in their writing, and asked for more relevant composition topics. Department members suggested that use of the black dialect , as opposed to formal English , should be worked out between the individual student and instructor . Glenn Lang stated that the purpose of the meeting was to avoid such confrontations by making the department aware of writing from the black viewpoint. He suggested that the department members familiarize themselves with a Dictionary of Black Slang which would aid them in properly evaluating the students ' writing. The idea of Black relevance in other courses was also discussed . Given a short two days notice, the Society compiled a list of over 350 books and anthologies which they presented to the department. The list included the works of black writers which could be used to supplement courses in American Li terature , the Short Story , Drama and Poetry . The instructors teaching these courses informed the society of the wri tings by black authors alrea dy in use and expressed their willingness to consider the Society 's list. Later , in response to Dr. Thompson 's statement that the department couldn 't change overnight, Howard Johnson said , "All we're saying is that you start putting ( the material ) in. " Glenn Lang added , "We're not the ultimate saying these are things^ but this is an opening up. This is a step toward an understanding of Black Consciousness ; a w a y of getting the true Black experience through Black eyes." In summing up the meeting Dr. Thompson called the discussion "a valuable experience." He said that his department wanted to keep meeting and cooperating with the Society as new problems came up. The formal discussion gave way to a room full of informal raps between students and profs , evidence of the openness and desire of the Black Students and the willingness of the department to cooperate in moving toward a more relevant B.S.C. j.p.s.

Two well known potters, Karen Karnes . and Paulus Berensohn, will be directing workshops and demonstrations on "throwing " on the potter 's wheel and various forms of handbuilding with clay. Thomas Gentille, noted New York goldsmith, will also have his works on display. It is expected that he will ha ve nineteen pieces of cast and hammered gold jewelry . Donald Wycoff , Executive Vice President of the American Crafts Council , will deliver the main address entitled "The Role of the Potter i .n a Contemporary Societv ." Karen Karnes is a native of New York City and has studied at Brooklyn College and in Italy . Her pottery has been exhibited widely including the Museum of Contemporary Crafts , N.Y.; Victoria and Albert Museum , London; International Trade Fair , Munich ; and other museums and galleries in the United States. ' She has been the recipient of a Tiffany Fellowship as well as a Silver Medal at the 13th Trienale de Milano. Miss Karnes has taught at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and Penland School of Crafts. A self-employed potter for many years, she operates a studio at Stoney Point, New York. Paulus Berersohn is widely known as a potter and a teacher. He taught at Swarthmore College for four years and was the founding director of the Wallingford Potter 's Guild. He has, in recent years, led pottery workshops all over the United States and Canada , including Greenwich House Pottery in New York City , the Kiln Club of Washington , D.C , the Penland School , the University of Georgia , the Visual Arts Society of Montreal , the Baltimore Potters Guild , and others. During the academic year 197071, Mr. Berensohn is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts, a Penland School grant to write a book to be entitled "Finding One's Way With Clay." Paulus works primarily with hand forming techniques and has spent a good deal of time working on expanding the pallette of clay color. But at the core , he is deeply concerned with the relationship between person and the pot he makes ; in the growth of the forms and the nature of just who we are. The schedule of events from March 29 to April 1 are as follows : March 29-9 a.m., Jewelry-slide presentation by Thomas Gentille. 2-5 and .6:30-9:30 p.m., pottery workshop by Paulus Berensohn.

Summer Sessions All undergraduate students presently enrolled at BSC who are planning to attend the 1971 summer sessions (Pre , Main , and or Post) must pre-register during the week of April 26 through May 1. Pre-registration will be conducted in the Student Union Lobby during the following hours : April 26 through April 30... 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. May l 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Students will not be required to pay fees at this time. Fees are payable at session registration on the Saturday afternoon before the opening of each session . It is important for students to preregister to insure a place in the classes they desire to schedule and a lso to f acil i tate reg istra ti on b e f o r e each session. Studen ts are reminded that insufficient enro ll men t ma y result i n course cancellation and conversely, h i g h demand may result in closed classes. During the hours of preregistrat ion , stu dents w ill secure a registration card and the official Summer Bulletin in the Student Union lobby.

Hambro Speaks on UN Dr. Edward Hambro, Ambassador from Norway and President of the United Nations General Assembly spoke on "what he termed "The Crisis in The United Nations " on Friday at 8:45 p.m. in Carver Hall . Dr. Hambro stated that "there is a continual crisis in the U.N." One of the problems lies in the fact that certain members would rather by-pass the organization than go through the necessary channels. The smaller nations realize that it is for their own advantage to be in the U.N. due tc insecurity . A second weakness is that the most important issues in the world are not discussed there. He said that the chief purpose of the U.N. should be to save nations from war , but that its decisions were not well favored . There is also a financial crisis in the U.N. Dr. Hambro pointed out that the U.S. is not helping in this aspect nor is it helping to provide moral support for * this institution. The total budget is 11000 of our defense budget or 200 million. The ocean floor is another topic at the U.N. The resources of the sea are just being realized. At the 25th session of the General Assembly in Geneva the riches of the ocean were declared the "Common heritage of Mankind" and should not be exploited by any on i country . The final crisis of the U.N. involves the struggle to save the human " environment. He stated that pollution has no boundaries and the problem will have to be solved by international cooperation . Dr. Hambro concluded suggesting we be optimistic in that pessimism leads to few accomplishments. session cards must be returned by Wednesday, May 5, 1971.

That wasn't the season, Yarmey , it's a possible outcome. Threats of right-wing violence and inciting-to-riot penalities were real. People on my floor were suggesting, "Let's go start a fight with 'era (an tiwar group)," and inciting-to-riot laws cover any situation where a large group get together (except perhaps hardha t marches). Can Yarmey prove the accusations he made about the predemonstration meeting? As for his "fanny cracking " fetish , as noted in the movie "if", fanny cracking does not always work the way the crackers would like it to. Yarmey states that his idea of a good time does not consist of bobbing up and down with a weed cupped in his paws, but then, who is he to object to the good times of others even if it does consist of these things . And what is a teenybobster? A cross between a teeny-bopper and a lobster? And how can someone sitting lower than the first row seats obstruct your view? And what is music for if you can 't "jiggle" to it? If you want to sit like a stump throughout a presentation, go tisten to a grandfather 's clock. The moral , faithful reader?

The question of public maturity does not lie in the hands of Mike Yarmey . I, like many others, am tired of being slandered with attacks of immaturity and irresponsibility. The game of illiciting responses was over years ago. I wonder if it's immature to think everyone at Bloomsburg is immature. It is time, I believe, to have, as your suggest, an open mind to the following facts. 1. There is a power structure at this institution. The Administration , the Faculty, the Students , in that order , compose it. 2. Students are forced to take teachers, and times, which does . mean their freedom of choice has been taken away, 3. There are inferior teachers in any college. Don't be naive enough to believe they're all excellent as I don't believe all the students are excellent. 4.

Had you done a little research into this subject , I am sure your biased article would not have been written. Your article should have shown that the Greek system here at .Bloomsburg and acros s the nation is not dying ; rathe r , it is growing . You might also have discovered that we Greeks do play a significant role in coUege affairs both socially and academicall y . Since your knowledge of Fraternities is lacking , a brief history of fraternities should preface the many misconceptions you have stated . Fraterniti es began on Dec. 5, 1776 at William and Mary College , when Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity ( the Mothe r of. all Fra ternitie s ) was formed . This socie ty began to grow rapidly, but because of the honorary nature of its membership, the establishment fraterni ties of other 1825, In begun were Kappa Alpha society was formed and recognized as the first social frate rnity . Short ly afte rwards , many more social fra ternities began to arise until the present day when there are now 59 national fraternities in existence and many hundreds of local fraternities. Contrary to popular opinion , fraternities are not dying ; a report put out by the National Inte rfra ternity Conference proves this : "Fraternity campuses in North America increased from about 300 to 567 in 1970, and chapt ers f rom about 3,500 to 4,500 in 1970." It is true that fraternities are young on this campus; but , as figures stat e, we are joining a growin g, not a dying TRY SLEEPING ON THIS! * " v. '»PtL. ^ ' * *7id system. Now let us hit upon your f allacies. 1) Joining a fraterni ty or soror ity is a way to ease insecuri ty. We form small cliques , share the same beliefs, the same dress sty le and physical attributes. This is not the case. Fraternities and sororities do not shelter the insecure ; ra ther , they stress to their members more active participation in the social and academic betterment of the institution at which they are located. This is the basic purpose of all fraternities and sororities. I feel Greeks are fulfilling this purpose here and across the nation. I shall state more about this point further under another of your fallacies . For your belief in Greeks being similar in beliefs, dress and physical attributes , I must say you are again totall y wrong. No two Greeks are alike just as no two people are alike. "You can 't lose your identi ty in a fraterni ty because fratenity members are as diverse in opinions and interests as the campus. In fact , you'll get to know and swap ideas with more different men in your fraternity than in most groups. " ( National Interfraterni ty Conference report ). This is true at Bloomsburg. We are educated people. We learn by sharing with each other our ideas. If you are an educated person , I' m sure you must agree with us that only by sharing ideas does one expand ones knowledge. 2) Greeks feel no need for friendship , because they have a clique of friends to lean on in time of loneliness. I know of no Greek on this campus or any other campus who can say all or even a majori ty of his friends make up his fraternity. The same holds true for sororities. This is an impossibility and a foolish one at that. We are human beings with the same social needs as anyone else. Those needs can only be met . by Greeks and even y ourself by meeting , playing and working with as many college students on thi s campus or any other campus as one can in his college career . This after all is part of the educational process . Do not trv to idealogies. Sincerely yours : James D.

I hope I haven 't bored the readers by naming these, but you Mr. Thinker are definitely 'lacking in their knowledge , so I ventured to state them . To say Greeks do nothing for the college or the town can only be presented as an out and out lie. I firmly believe that these above stated ac tivities also disprove the idea that fraternities and sorori ties are formed because we are afraid to associate with the opposite sex. Many times both groups get together to work on such projects as those mentioned and countless other projects. I have one last point to mention in this rebuttal that I feel is relevant. I have stated that Greeks aim at academic betterment besides social betterment. To prove this I quote a Commission on Fraternity research — 1970: 33 per cent of men on campuses without frate rnities will graduate 44 per cent of non-members on campuses with fraternities graduate 65 per cent of all fraternity members graduate. At the present time the general average of fraternity men is above the men's overall cum, and same holds true in regards to sororities in relati on to the women's overall cum. I would think loans, grants , and scholarship awards which encourage the Greek to graduate might be some of the reasons for this situation. Maybe it is not the Greek system which should be helped to develop the techniques that are necessary for enabling all people to live together peacefully and constructively, but you. I have written this letter for two reasons. One is to clear up the misconceptions you have presented concerning fraternities, and sororities. Yes, we have our faults. No organization can be perfect. Our system is not what you make it out to be. We are trying our best to fulfill the purpose of our organizations. My second reason is equally important. You have written a fallacious article about Greeks. What I fear is your past articles, and worse yet your future articles, will be more of the same — lies. Thank you, David F.

Eight out of the 26 voting members of the . CGA presently are Greeks. For the past three years a fraterni ty man has been President of the CGA . ( Ron Schulz, Jeff Prosseda , and currentl y Mike Pillag ali) Among many of the other CGA officers and committees , Greeks have assumed responsibil ities. On 'nurnerotls ad hoc committees established by the administrati on and faculty Greeks can also be found in attendance . Many of our athletes at Bloomsburg are also Greeks. I would be a fool to say that only Greeks have been participating in these organizations in the last four years . What I am saying is that Greeks are interested and the proof as stated above cannot be disputed. But ,fraternities function in other manners also.

" But reall y they're onl y su gar , salt, bitter , and to ur solutions , all part of Kathy '* ex peri ment. "One of the basic weaknesses of the secondary teacher education program at BSC has been the lack of actual laboratory experience," claims Mr. Richard O. Wolfe. To solve this problem , he and the other instructors in the curriculum and instruction classes instituted an experimental program of microteaching three years ago. As it is now structured microteaching is a simple teaching experience for a short period of time before a small class. Formally it is "a series of minute lessons to be taught by college students using the teaching skills of establishing a mental set and closure of that set." Bloomsburg High School students forfeit study hall time to be in the four member class for several micro-lessons . The student teacher's room of the high school, equipped with a chalkboard , overhead projector, screen and desks for students and observers becomes the "first classroom". In the back of the room sit micro-teachers making last minute changes in their lessons or doing one of several types of evaluations learned in preparatory C&I classes. Mr. Wolfe gives time cues and operates the tape recorder for posterity while evaluating each lesson . Immediately following the experience a rap-session is held with the instructor and the "fiveminute wonders" to evaluate their performance and regain their composure. An important part of the experience would be seeing one's actions and expressions. To do this a video tape recorder with camera s and equipment is essential . The entire effectiveness of micro-teaching can be increased or decreased by the use of these materials. For now, the department is doing their best with a 35 mm. camera and tape recorder. Several lucky people get th eir lessons recor ded on'film and are presented to the following year 's C& I c lasses prior to the micro-teaching ex- perience. x Currently , two experiences , one at Bloomsburg High School and one at Central Columbia, are part of the 396 education course along with field trips and practical projects . Four were projected for when the microteaching became wellestablished . Among the many techniques the education department is experimenting with are team teaching and combining two courses (social foundations and curriculum and instruction) to allow for more involved experiences. What is micro-teaching? It is a term that was first coined in 1963. (The concept has never been static ; it grows, changes, and develops in focus and format.) It is an idea developed at Stanford University in 1963. It was designed to provide teachers , with a safe setting for the acquisition of techniques and skills of the profession. At the core of the idea are five propositions: 1. It is real teaching. 2. It lessens the complexities of the classroom . 3. It focuses on training for the accomplishment of specific tasks. 4. It allows for increased control of practice. 5. It greatly expands normal knowledge of results or feedback dimensions in teaching. It is one of the few experimental techniques which by its very structure encourages the combination of theory and practice, research and training, innovation and implementation . It is by this capacity for selfregulation that micro-teaching can perhaps revolutionize education . The teacher needs a safe setting for practice - law students have their moot courts, medical students have their cadavers , a n d make rounds in the clinic, and aircraft pilots have their link tra i ners , it is only reasonable to provide the teacher with his own setting. Student reaction to the program is a solid "yes." Micro- teach ers evalua te their poo rs while waiting to take over tho micro- class. Nervousl y? I hate to do th is but if s fo * your own fl ood.
