We Wan t Peace And We Want It Now !
Wednesday, May 5 was "May
Day " across the nation , It was
the result of the collective efforts
of thousands of Americans from
every walk of life. Washington ,
D.C. was the site of a new kind of
dissent. As many as 500,000
people went out of their way to
show their dissatisfaction with
the way America has made the
war or ignor ed it for "Business as
Usual " .
On the campus of BSC it was
the Second Annual Rally , or t o
some-thoug h not most , in my
est ima ti on , second Spr ing Break.
While framing pictures , I noti ced

The largest crowda appeared in
the early afternoon , none aa lar ge
as last year. Excitemen t was not

in the air , b u t f or a f ew momen ts ,
notably during the speech
presented by Dr. Jordan Richman , the artists and sunbathers
looked up to see wha t all the
shouting was about . At firs t
glance , it seemed that few were
in ter est ed i n t he cause at hand.
On ly after an hour or more of
eyei ng t he au di ence d id I change
my initial reaction to the event.
Earlier in the day, t he laugh ter
f rom the back of t he crowd had
rivaled the speakers for my attention . By late aftern oon an
eer ie silence had f allen over t he
rema i n i ng hundreds. At one
point , I t urned t o f ind out where
ever yone had gone. Expecting to
see a handful of sp ecta t ors , I was
shocked to find at least five
hundred people LISTENING
ATTENTIVELY to the soft

Hard l y a soul mov ed , classes

Columbia or Berkeley , its good
old Bloomsburg. We aren ' t social

one's who remember Mother 's

Day and will take care of you

when y ou 're old and grey .
Sa t urda y I was shocked by t he

attitude of someone totally unfamiliar with BSC . A guest at the
Foreign Language Internationa l
Day was sitting alone outside
Hartline 83. When I asked the
lad y wha t had ha pp ened t o t he

was t old tha t t hey had moved t o
Columbia Hall for the presentation of awards. She told me she
was afraid t o walk t he cam pus
alone and was wai ti ng for t he
school bus t ha t brough t her grou p
to BSC.
As straight-faced as possible, I
informed her t ha t t here was litt le
to fear , since Columb ia Hall was
only a shor t distance and accompanied her ther e . I wish there
was some wa y t o t ell ever yone
el se t ha t when there is a

isn 't un-American (and be

same t hings t hey have been doing
for y ears , telling t he country
where it strays from its ideals.
No person , nation , or thing is
perfect. Why can 't everyone
acce p t t ha t ?
Pea cemakers , the cause is still
there. Though the predomin ant

philosophy acro ss the coun try
has change d t o agree t hat we

rally was still necessary because
we are still ther e .
If you could see their faces at
the rally you would understan d.
Maybe next year we won't need a

Where were the 500 or so
students who showed up for last
May's rally? Where was the
spirit, the atmosphere of concern...of purpose? Where was the
seriousness of last year's event?
A year ago, no one sang funny
songs or delightedly screamed
"F-U-C-K." But last year, there
was Kent State and Jackson State
to protest. There were no student
killings this year and there's
nothing like six coffins to instill
some concerned interest in
people. But the flag-draped
coffins from Viet Nam haven't
stopped . What about them? "It
doesn't do any good...it's all been
said before ," one girl told me.
Maybe. But who was listening
before. Who is listening NOW?
The morning after the rally, I
was awakened by the sound of a
cracked voice coming over the
radio , saying how college
demonstrators bring down
"academic standards" and how
they should be lined up
against a wall and shot. But I
wa sn't angry . Those people were

we had enough student support ,
enough interest , and enough
passionate, intense belief in what
we were fighting for that we were
even w illi ng to go t o the extremes
of marchi ng on the town and
causing disruption to prov e our
point. We didn 't fulfill their expectations and in a way, I think
they were disappointed . SuperRadical at B.S.C. is a myth. If
there is ever another rally (i.e., if
we're handily provided with a
dead student or two ) , don 't myth
it. If you ha ve enough stamina to
drag y ourself out of bed to attend
some stupid tug-of-war , you
should be able to show enough
concern to protest a REAL war.

Washin gton , BSC

A week ago today there was a
rally for peace held on the
terraces of BSC. But many miles
away in Washington other BSC
students were showing their wish
for peace in a far more relevant
manner. Of the 12,000 protestors
arrested for blocking the streets
of Washington , a number were
BSC students. Two of these were
kind enough to give the M&G an
account of their hectic days in the
streets of Washington .
Saturday, May 1. After hitchhiking down to Washington,
our BSC students went to West
Potomac Park where a permit
had been secured for the use of
the park until May 9. There were v
rallies being held and leaders of
the protest spoke to the kids.
Each area in the park was
marked according to the home
location of the group, and so BSC
was assigned to Central Pa.
There were also representatives
from Gay Lib., and the Women's
Liberation Movement . There
were a lot of rock groups performing and it seems that a lot of
the kids who were there that
afternoon were there for the fun
nf it

That night , Bloomsburg's token
few spent the night with a couple
from Washington , D.C., who
welcomed them with open arms.
This made them lucky , since the
majority of the kids had to spend
the night in the park .
Sunday, May 2. Reports came
back that at 6 a.m. that morning
the park had been buzzed by
police helicopters. It seemed that
the permit had been revoked
and the kids had to be out of the
park by noon. It is believed that
this was done in order to break up
the organizational meetings
which were scheduled to take
place that afternoon. All of the
kids left except for a group of
approximately 150 who chose to
be arrested .
Sunday afternoon most of the
kids
wandered
around
Washington trying not to get
picked up. That night they went

over to George Washington
University and arbitrarily called
coeds at the college and asked
them to put them up. They
weren 't the first, so it took them a
while, but they finally got room .
It seems that most of the citizens
of D.C. were really friendly about
the whole thing, and really
wanted to help. At their
organizational meetings that
afternoon they had decided not to
change their original tactic1.,,
although their plans on where
they planned to attack had been
published in the Washington
newspapers. They saw no reason
to change since they felt that
information would leak out , too.
Monday, May 3. Early Monday
morning our BSC demonstrators
found themselves at their
destination — the intersection of
Pennsylvania and Constitution
Avenues, where the representatives from Central Pennsylvania had been assigned to go.
They were promptly arrested ,
maced (sprayed with a type of
gas which will blind if not washed
off immediately)) , herded into
char tered buses and maced
again.
They were then taken to what
they and others had properly
named a "concentration camp";
a football field with barbed wire
around the fences. Here they had
onl y the barest of sanitary
necessities and were not fed until
3:30 in the afternoon . They had
makeshift toilets and makeshift
tents, and even these were not
provided until late in the afternoon . They met some of the
kids who had been beaten by the
police, and were surprised at the
amount of bandaged heads. The
best thing about the camp,
however, was the attitude of
the kids. When they first arrived , they were greeted by a long reception
line of those who were
already there. They shook their
hands , introduced themselves
and led the group in singing and
chanting "Power to the People."

The overall feeling was one of
unity and sharing.
At 8:00 that night, they were
removed by paddy wagon to a
huge footbal l stadium , The
Coliseum. There were National
Guardsmen stationed, every five
feet around the arena , carrying
containers of tear gas, pepper
gas and mace. Also, on the sides
of the stadium were metal cages
which, I'm told v gave the impression of holding lions ,
characteristic with the name of
the stadium .
Tuesday, May 4. This day was
spent in the Coliseum. The
conditions were poor, but first aid
was brought in by the Red Cross.
They were fed baloney sandwiches three times that day,
which were thrown in on top of
the crowd . Water was scarce.
Wednesday, May 5. Very , very
early, at 3:30 a.m. they were
finally processed and permitted
to
leave ,
after » being
photographed and fingerprinted,
but not required to pay bail.
From there they went to spend
the night in the Union Methodist
Church. Later in the morning
they started for home and hitchhiked the distance in eight
hours. They had no trouble
getting rides , people were
friendly and interested in hearing
what had happened .
Today, May, 1971. It's all over
now, and the kids have had their
say. Twelve thousand were
arrested , and countless more
roamed the streets of Washington
during the period from April 24
until now. Comments made by
the two of BSC's participators,
were, "I'm not sure if it will
affect the government, but it
showed them that people were
willing to do more than just go to
'fun ' peace rallies." "If that
didn 't affect Nixon, nothing will."
"We didn't think it would work ,
but we had to try ."
But remember one of the
people's favorite chants, "You
can 't jail the revolution!"

Inspiration is Forum , (May 7)
by John Stugrin. I was really
impressed. God bless you John
Stugrin , there is hope for the
world after all.
Anyhow , with inspiration in
hand, I think I'll talk a while. My
choice of topic for today is war ,
but before I get into that (Maybe
I shouldn 't , I noticed some people
have trouble getting out of it .)
I'm here listening to the news,
and it's almost funny , if you like
tragic comedy. The Mars space
shot, Mariner 8j was a failure
...and horrors , this may
delay
the
liftoff
of
Mariner 9, scheduled for May
18. For the mere cost of
$153 ,500,000 for both of them.
What a bargain! (with that
kind
of
money
we
might
have
been
able

to keep the war going a few more
years.) Anyhow I just thought
you might be interested in that bit
of trivia . ($153,500,000 worth of
trivia? )
I debated using this topic
because I heard a nasty rum or
that some people think that since
females do not fight wars, get
dra fted , nor huve the ability to
say "I was (here , war is Hell ,"
they should keep their high and
mighty opinions to themselves. I
decided to do it anyhow though ,
because a fter careful thought I
realized that the rumor doesn 't
have any bearing on me, for two
very good reusons — 1) my
opinion of war is not high and 2)
when you 're us short us I urn , you
really aren 't considered mighty .
Peace of mind prevails and I go

on.
War , there isn 't much you can
do with a word like that. It isn't
very impressive, in fact it's sort
of ughly. I guess that isn't a very
fair thing to say
the word
obviously
suffers
from
discrimination because of
definition . Maybe it is fair....after
all "A rose by any other name... "
(yeah you know how it goes) The
odor of this one would stink no
matter what you called it.

War affects women too . In
many ways. How would you like
to get one of those black edged
telegrams? Brother , husband ,
son. Our lives go on. With a big
empty hole in it. Deep, dark , and
infinite . You never qui te forget
and you never can quite figu re
out why...And it doesn 't have to
be a black-edged telegram. There
are still the helpless cripples , and
what about the girl who kissed a
beautiful , warm-hearted person
good-bye and got a cruel ,
sadistic , madman in return. Is
that fair?
Did you ever stop to think
what we may be losing? Definitely
too
many
lives.
But think about it. Maybe we lost the cure for
cancer , maybe we lost the answer to pollution problems and
overpopulation . We 'll never
kn ow. Who does know what was
in the minds of these who died
both willingly and unwillingly,
for a cause they did or did not
believe in? Nobody. Nobody
knows now and nobod y ever will.
It' s all gone , draped in an
American flag, (talk about
desecration — I don 't see

s .l .s .

anything more desecrating than
to cover someone who died for
something he didn 't believe in ,
with a flag. Desecration of the
character of the individual laying
beneath that flag and desecration
towards his family. "Here Ma 'm ,
sorry we took your son, but here's
a nice flag for you." Talk about
sick.)
We were asked once if the
American Revolution was right
or wrong. A conclusion was
drawn , most people feel it was
right. Why ? Because we won .
Will the Viet Nam war be
right if
we win?
and
tell
me , how
do they
plan on deciding whether we won
or not? Defeat the opposition?
Have the opposition surrender?
At the price we're paying is it
really winning?
I remember an idea from an
old "Hole in the Wall" column. It
concerned a boy asking his father
what school was and his father
explaining it. Well , I'm praying
for the day (and maybe it's too
much to ask ) when a child asks
what war was, and nobody can
explain it , because they don 't
remember

A letter to the administration,
faculty , and students of
Bloomsburg State College:
A letter has been .sent to
President Nossen, Dean Hunsinger, Dean Jackson, and Miss!
Tolan concerning the Abolishment of Women's Hours. An
informal meeting with the administrators was also requested .
The letter was dated April 29,
1971. Now we can only await their
response.
Thank you M&G for making
this public.
Sincerely ,
B.F.; M.A.; S.G.; D.T.; M.E.;
M.Z. To: The Editor , Maroon & Gold
I enjoyed the punning title
"University Bound" of your 21
April 1971 Maroon and Gold
editorial on final exams. And
may I assure you that review of
the final exam policy, one of the
responsibilities of the Committee
on Academic Affairs, is on the
calendar for consideration. (The
present Committee will go out of
business as soon as a Senate
counterpart Committee is
elected. The successors will be
charged with picking up the
obligation.)
Your
editorial , though ,
describes the "order " to give a
final exam at a prescribed date
as "a typical act of a high school
administration closely 'riding
shotgun ' over the happenings and
procedures ."
Actually, whatever "ordering"
the Administration does in

regard to final

exams at

Bloomsburg State College, it is
only executing the will of the
Faculty.For the exam policywas
proposed by faculty members
some years ago (about 1965, I
believe) and prepared by a
faculty
committee
which
carefully considered opinions
expressed by all faculty members who chose to express
opinions.
Having just come to Bloomsburg State College from another
college where exam week wasthe
practice ; I was delighted in 1963
to find there was no such practice
here. I expressed arguments
against the proposal to create an
exam week but was out-argued
and out-voted by my. colleagues.
However, in this, as in. most
cases, policies are not all good or
all bad. I can live with this policy
because it has merit. So does the
practice of leaving the final
exams to the instructor.
At any rate, the policy was not
adopted capriciously by faculty
or administrators. It was thought
out , reasoned out , and decided
on.
As a corollary, I might observe
that your recomm endation for
Bloomsburg State College to
"lead the way" in creating a
"Voluntary final policy" really
means that we should gc back to
where we were in 1964, or
thereabouts. Perhaps we should.
Frequently in human activitie s
we go to the past to make
"progress."

the next night a Tug-of-War attracts a larger audience....
Yes, eight years is a long time.
Almost half your life. And your
life is threatened . The war has
saturated and drained you. You
find yourself thanking God that
your brother is so lucky, so
fortunate to have burned skingrafted legs with awful scars
...because that puckered white
purple skin is his ticket out of the
draf t . The war hits you at all
levels You get a far-too-low lottery number and find yourself
unable that night to make
love... may be because you feel
dead already , a ragged soldier
too physicall y emotionally
morally exhausted for ANY part
of his body to stand at attention...maybe you have died
already...and could be that the
war IS over , even though it will
go on forever , it is over...
A few years ago we had it
made. We were going to win. We
had our music, we had San
Francisco , Frodo and Bilbo ,
Dune and Stranger , our own
culture , a movement which
would shake the world before Mr.
Jones knew what was happening.
But Mr. Jones THOUGHT he
knew wha t was happening,
thought the world about to be
shaken over by freaks and
flowers and ( fer Chrissake )
LOVE , so Mr. Jones called his
Man and here we are...helpless.
Dead or dying. 45,000 of us dead
in a foreign land. Four dead here.
And those four are only the
WHITES...

Last year you had answers , you
thought. But both sides can make
mistakes , there are Weathermen.

And yet the Weathermen could
blow up every Capitol toilet in
existence and still not compensate for the OTHER side's
mistakes, what has been done to
villages ,, women , children... children...the little people with so
many questions to which we can
give no good answers...kinda like
you ,
no
answers...t h e
Weathermen aren't an answer ,
you know which way the wind
blows, it blows like that flag
sounding like a bombe r...and
peaceful demonstrations seem
just as ineffective, because those
little kids deserve something
better than what we got, a fear to
bring children into the world. ..
Answers? You don't kn ow any.
Maybe no one does. The answers
should be feelings, wanting to
help somebody, wanting to live
and let love. But not everybody
feels that way...some people
don 't feel at all . You got to
beware of those people, the
masters of war. There are 'man '
who bomb and pillage and rape to
earn medals. They
are the
reason for eight yearsof growing
up scared , scarred , they are why
you wake in the night with a start ,
they are the n igh tmares you had
us a kid , the nigh tmares t ha t
cause us to feel hop eless ,
helpless , victimized, shat on ,
disgusted, useless, t ired , conf u s e d ,
s c a r e d ,
pa ranoic.. .aged... .dying. ..dead.
(I don 't know a bout that fat frat
guy, his pals, or Nixon, but I want
to live. Want them to live too.
Long as they let me live...long as
they let that kid live...is that too
much to ask? to laugh and run
and cry and feel and breathe ?
I breathe out my life's blood; I
inhale apocalyps e.)

Time Of Your Life - May 13-15
The Bloomsburg Players will
present their final production oi
the season , The Time of Your
life, on May 13, 14, and 15in Haas
Center for the Arts. The Time ol
Your Life is under the direction of
Mr. Robert ' D. Richey and is
staged managed by Jean
LeGates, a sophomore majoring in theatre. Mr. Richey and the
stage manager work together to
maintain efficient rehearsals and
to improv e communication
between the director and the
cast. During the evenings of the
performances the stage manager
remains behind the scenes to
coordinate light , sound , and
acting cues and to keep
everything running smoothly .
I The Time of Your Life, is one of
I a series of plays written by
i William Saroy an aimed at
| presenting a different view of the
I everyday lives of everyday
| people in pre World War II
\ America. The play, therefore,
I does not present a theme as much
I as it projects a mood, the mood of
|the common people being con|fronted with the common
I problem of impending war .
I Saryan carefully reproduces and
, faithfully captures every nuance
1 and habit common to the time
m and depicts the feeling of popular
confusion that existed because of
the strained situation in which
the world found itself.
The Time of Your Life is also a
; comedy. It takes up the wonr derful nostalgia of the 1930's,
' ' displaying it through its
characters and episodes, and

and

lifestyle of the time as well as
reinforcing the total mood that
Saroyan is showing us and involving us in. The play is about no
one particular person , nor does it
describe one particular situation .
Instead , it uses many characters
in varying episodes to search for

an intelluctual theme that you
must work to discern . You won 't
. find it. Instea d, you will come
away feeling the theme. It is
something you will know because
you have lived it everyday of
your life.
The stage crew , under the
supervision of Mr. Harry
Berkheiser,, has produced the
set for this show . The scenery
consists of one set to which
furniture and props will be added
and removed . It is suggestive of a
typical waterfront bar in San
Francisco, complete with rickety
piano , jukebo x , and pinball
machine. The set Mr. Berkheiser
is using, was originally designed
by Mordecai Gorelik for the
production in Biarritz , France. It
is designed to convey selectiverealism , and , like a blooming
flower , the realism is concentrated in the center stage and
becomes more expressionistic as
it moves outward. The biggest
problem Mr. Berkheiser has had
so far was in locating an old
jukebox and pinball machine.
The difficul ty was solved through
the generosity of the Automative
Service Company .

"Special Olympics"
Proves People Care
BY JOHN HOFFMAN
In a fast paced world , in which
overpopulation is causing increased alienation of people, an
event like the "special Olympics"
held on May 8th in Centennial
Gym Pools showed that people
still take time to care for others
less fortunate than themselves.
This "special Olympics" swim
meet for Northeastern Pennsylvania , embracing a 15-county
thirty -nine
are^ , enabled
youngsters, ages 10-19, to prove
that competency is relative.
The swimmers participating in
the four events , 25-yard freestyle,
25-yard backstroke , 50-yard
freestyle swim , and the 10O-yard
relay, were : GIRLS — Patricia
Block , Julia Bowman , Stacy
Compton , Vistella Heintzelman ,
Rose Hillien , Debbie Hissom ,
Linda Kircher , Alice Kratzer ,
Diane Matzura , Evelyn Morris ,
Rosemary Opp, Lynn Robinson ,
and Mardell Saunders . BOYS —
Rod Baker , Ed Bedford , Frank
Berry , Robert Bonser , Tim
Carter , Dennis Counterman ,
Gary Cutter , David Davi§, John
Davis, Robert Davis, John Deats,
Joseph Gross, Floyd Heft, Tom
Johnston , Robert Jones, John
Marzek , Kevin McNulty , Tom
Mizeck, David Robinson , Wayne
Sanders, Charles Sowan, Fred
Tayl or , Robert Trent , Dale
Vanderer , Wayne Wilson .
Ribbons of achievement were
given to all who swam in each
race , a different colored ribbon
signified different placements
(i.e., blue-first place, red-second
place , yellow-third p lace) .
However insignificant these
prizes may seem to the average
person, they meant the world to
these kids, who really felt as
though they had accomplished
something great , and they had.
They gained the self-confidence
and faith in themselves which is
quite important regardless of
age.

feature Slippery Rock and
Clasion State College.
Shippensburg golf coach , Dr.
Crist, noted that the "teams to
beat are Slippery Rock and
Clarion with Kutztown as the
dark horse."
A bit optimistic he also added ,
"though a young team , we should
finish in one of the top three
places."
Clarion officials are not as
optimistic as they report "the
team to beat is Slippery Rock,
and we should finish about fourth
or fifth. "
Also not to be counted out are
East Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg. Last year the ^Huskies
finished third with the Warriors
in fifth place.
The individual honors for the
tournament could go to any
number of ou tstanding competitors .
Shippensburg State 's John
Donahue "could win the tournament if he puts it all together
and plays up to his ability ,"
reports the coach .
On the other hand , Bloomsburg 's Jeff Hock and Ed Masich
are in contention "if they could
get their game together," added
their coach.
The top golfer for Clarion to get
a shot at the honor will be Scott
Smith while East Stroudsburg's
Tom Bartolacci is "potentially a
contender for the championship
honors" also.
Jeff Hock and Ed Masich will
be playing their last college
competition . Hock will graduate
in May and Masich in January ,
1972.
Both could be in contention for
individual honors with Rich
Jurbala also in contention . All
three are members of the Berwick Country Club.

Shabel said he and "the
committee feel fully confident
that Chuck will continue the
outstanding program built by
Dick Harter and his staff ."
Daley is a native of Kane, Pa.,
attended St. Bona venture and
was graduated from Bloomsburg
State, Pa. in 1952 with a degree in
Speech Therapy .
He received a Master's Degree
in educational administration
from Penn State in 1958 and also

Saturday, May 1, was a busy
day for the Brothers of Phi Sigma
Pi. Things started at nine o'clock
in the morning when the
fraternity held its annual Car
Wash at the rear of the Bloomsburg
Firestone
Center.
Throughout the day, until four in
the afternoon , students, faculty,
and townspeople brought their
cars for the Fraternity 's "SuperDeluxe" Car Wash. The Brothers
encountered a new experience
this year when a camper was
brought to the scene. Thanks goes
out from the Fraternity to all who
brought their cars to be washed.
It was a huge success. The
proceeds from the Car Wash will
help to support the Fraternity 's
foster-child , Stanli Gamhram , in

Starting at eight o'clock in the
evening, the Brothers held their

that abortion may lead to more
drastic means of population
control such as killing of the sick
and the aged , (4) the fetus is only
a part of the woman , making an
analogy with her other organs
such as tonsils, and if she wants
to, she can have it removed, and
(5) is abortion killing the innocent, only without malace?
Dr. Corson described some of
the methods of abortion. The first
one he said can be performed up
to the first 12 weeks of
pregnancy , and can be done in a
doctor 's office under a local
anesthetic. It is done simply by
dilating the cervix and scraping
out the placenta and other fetal
material. Another type of
abortion that can be performed
up un til 16 weeks of pregnancy is
one where the amneotic fluids are
removed from the baby's food
sac and a saline solution is introduced. The patient then goes
into a "mini" labor which is
followed by the expulsion of the
fetus and other birth material. A
third type is a hy sterectomy
which involves the removal of the
woman 's female organs as well
as the fetus and results in permanent sterility . Still another
type is something comparable to
a cesarean section birth, where
an incision is made in the abdomen and the fetus is removed.
This operation can be done after
12 weeks of pregnancy . Dr.
Corson believes that the Question
of abor t ion should be lef t up t o t he
pat ien t and her doctor with no
legal res traints.
Dr. Kroschewsk y outlined
some of t he stages of the
development of the human
embryo . He stated that at 8 weeks
the embryo can be recognized as
human ; at 9 weeks the internal

Two weeks ago, I did a column
on a little-known aspect of the
BSC
Teacher
Education
Program , namely Sophomore
Field Experience . The day it
appeared , Dr. Lee Aumiller,
director of the program , paid me
a visit. He tol d me that if I cared
to do a followup article on the
program , he'd be happy to
provide me with the information.
Recalling the fact that I had
never even heard of the program
until it was time for me to do it , I
decided to pay him a visit.
In case you don't know what
Sophomore Field Experience is,
be advised that it's an opportunity for Education majors
to get a first-hand look at what
teaching is all about—before they
have to Student Teach. It's a
chance to work with other
teachers, to get acquainted with

"Wha t Do You Kno w... "

Wednesday, April 28 at 8:00
p.m. in the Student Union , the
freshman class sponsored an
awareness lecture entitled "What
Do You Know About Abortion?" .
The panel of guest speakers included Father Petrina , Catholic
Campus Minister; Dr. T. Clark
Corson , Gynecologist; Mr.
Richard Brook , BSC Philosophy
Department ,
Dr.
Julius
Kroschewsky , BSC Biology
Department; Mr. Leonard
Majikas , Director of the
Columbia
County
Family
Counciling Mental Health Clinic ;
Dr. Michael Daly, general
practitioner of family medicine
at Geisinger Medical Center;
with Mr. Charles Thomas, BSC
Guidance Counciling Department
acting as the moderator .
The program was conducted in
three parts . In the first portion
the panel members presented
their opinions on abortion in
conjunction with their positions.
The second segment of the
presentation consisted of an
interaction of ideas among the
speakers. And the final part
consisted of questions and answers from the audience.
Several of the different views
on abortion that were discussed
were the theological , medical ,
legal, and moral standpoints ;
and a poin t was made abou t t he
u ndef i ned t erms rela ti ng t o
aborti on .
Common argumen ts per ta ining
to abortion were discussed also.
They are : (1) the discriminatin g
laws agains t the poor ; the rich
can obtain an abortion if they
want to inspite of any obstacles ,
( 2) the belief that easily obtained
abortions may open the door to
sexual promiscuit y , (3) the fear

sex organs are formed and organ
differientation is developing, at
11 weeks the fetu s can move, and
at 12 weeks higher functions
relating to the central nervous
system have begun. Prior to 16
weeks of pregnancy the mother is
unaware of the life inside her.
Father Petrina stated the
abortion is a matter of personal
conscience. His views included
the following: A human life has
ri ghts ; if something is not
human; it has no rights . The fact
that it was created by God gives
it rights beyond human law. The
relaxation of abortion laws in any
nation is wrong. The Catholic
attitude toward abortion is not
denominational , but is a feeling
shared by all of us who are
humanists at heart. We should
value the importance of life in all
forms and in all stages of
development.
It was brought up that the
question of abortion is social and
psychological . Will relaxed
a bort ion laws lea d to an eros ion
of respect of life in all forms?

guilt reactions and the inability to

Another
