"Dismissed "
Speak Out
On Radio

by F. Pizzoli
and J. Sachetti .
The following excerpts are
from a radio broadcast , aired
over WHLM on Thursda y May 13,
1971.These remarks were made
during the Pennsylvania State
Education Association 's campus
radio program , Monday through
Thursday at 7:40 pm. For this
particular
program , Ray
Seigfried , studen t director and
host, decided to deviate from the
show 's standard music and
campus news format to present a
panel of thre e controve rsial
figures , Mr. Deake G. Porte r , Dr.
Joseph T. Skehan , former BSC
pr ofessor s, and Mr. Dan Skok ,
dismissed student.
Mr. Porter opened the program
by replying to charge supplied by
an unidentified woman that he
is
a
communist.
Mr.
Porte r 's
rep ly:
"Ray,
(Ray Seigfried , the host)
you can tell your lady friend I am
not a Communist. Tell her I' m a
Democratic Cap italist , if she
knows what that means . Communists believe in socialism ; I
believe in capitalism. Communists believe in dictatorship; I
believe in democracy . It would be
hard to be more opposite to a
Communist. "
Mr. Porter also expressed his
firm belief in the American legal
system. Continuing his remarks ,
Mr. Porter added : One of the
great laws to protect the individual from a tyrannical
government is the ancient law of
Mandamus. If a government
official denies a person his legal
rights ; for instance , his right to
be fired according to the rules
instead of at some bureaucrats
pleasure ; then the ind ividual can
ask the courts to command tha t
the bureaucrats follow the rules .
On April 15, 197 1, Por t er a sked
the Commonwealth Court for a
judgment against the college
which would resul t in his reinstatement.
" How can Deake Port er ,
as one individual , fight City
Hall?"
His answer
is that he is not by himself , and that in America the

Dean Jackson Honored

Miss Ellamae Jackso n , Dean of
Students for Women at BSC, was
guest of honor at the AWS
banquet held last Wednesday
night at the Magee Hotel. The
annual affai r was used to present
a "This is Your Life " in honor of
Miss Jackson upon retirement.
Emcee 'd by outgoing AWS
presiden t Bev Jun gmann , the
presentation included people
from Miss Jackson 's ten years at
BSC. Included were Dr. and Mrs .
Harvey

assistant deans of women here at

individua l has the law on his side,
which is a pretty powerful ally.
Should the reques t for
judgment filed in the Commonwealth
Court
be unsuccessful , Mr. Porter plans to
carry legal action onto the
Supreme Court and if necessary
the Federal Courts .
Dr. Joseph T. Skehan , next on
the program to speak , stated tha t
within 5 months Dr. Nossen the
new BSC President twice tried to
fire him summari ly. Tha t is,
ignoring all the procedu res of
BSC and the laws of the Commonwea lth of Penna .
Dr. Skeha n went on to state

BSC, one of Miss Jackson 's
friends for whom she stood as a
bridesmaid , and one of her former students from Penn State ,
who was also guest speaker.
Some tears were shed toward
the end of the evening as Bev
Jungmann presented the final
honor they could bestow upon
Miss Jackson , a continuing
memorial , The Ellamae Jackson
Award to be given to a BSC coed
who best exemplifies her ideals.
This award is to become a
tradition of AWS in honor of Miss
Jackson 's long serv ice at BSC.
Her service in Student personnel
also includes 11 years at Mansfield State College.
Seniors should pic k up their
tickets for the Senior Dinner-Danc e this week if possible.They can be pic ked up

"orderly proced ures " I could
take to prevent " capricious
academic ev aluations " by one of
my professors. After leafing
through the Join t Statements and
the Judicial System , Mr. McCubbin rep lied, "there is none ."
In essence there is no protec tion
for the studen t from "capricious
academic evaluation. " This
makes for a convenient tool to be
used by the adm inistration and or the faculty to dismiss certain
students.

On January 22, 1970, I was

not understand how that could
happen.
On January 25, 1971, 1 met with
Mr. Solenberger at his office. I
was told lhat I failed the final
exam . Tha t was not a big surprise since I never saw such
cheating in 14^ years of
teaching. Mr. Solenberger
confiscated three exams during
the final that students were using
from last year. Students used
cheat sheets , wrote answers on
pencils, and even shouted across

admitted to me tha t he weighed
the final exam one-half. In his
class we had one mid-year , thre e
book reports , and a fina l exam .
Since the fina l cannot be coun ted
more than one half , I suggeste d to
Mr. Solenberger that he weigh
each of the three parts one third .
His reply was "I can 't do that. It
would require my rearranging
the entire grading system I' ve
worked out ." He refused to follow
the Senate regulation . On thr ee
occasions I made these request s
to him and each time he said he
wouldn 't.
On Friday, February 12, Mr.
Solenberger told me his department chairman , Dr. Ireland , told
him to weigh the final less and the
book reports more . In his opinion
my grade would not be affected. I
then told him for the third or
fourth time that I would make a
formal complaint.
On Frida y, February 2 at 9:30
p.m., Mr. Solenber ger called me
at my home. He told me that after
following Dr. Ireland' s advice , he
rearranged his grading system
and that I would get the grade
change I felt entitled to. The new
gra ding system he used was the
same one that I asked him to use
in the first place.
On February 15 I called Mr.
Solenber ger about the progress of
the grade chan ge. Incidentally
the grade change would give me
avera ge the college
the
demanded for my continued
enrollment at BSC. Mr. Solenberger told me that Dr. Ireland
had the grades. Later that day I
went to see Dr. Ireland . He
assured me that Dean Hoch
would have them that afternoon.
Later that day Mr. Solenber ger
called me to tell me that Dr.
Ireland ran into some trouble
with Dean Hoch. Dr. Ireland and
Mr. Solenberger were to meet
with Dean Hoch the next mornin g
with my grades. Dr. Ireland
wanted to see me after the
meeting with Dean Hoch. A time
was set at 10:00 for me to see Dr.
Ireland.
I later called Dr. Ireland for a
postponement of the meetin g
until 11:00. He told me tha t Mr.
Reeder was going to be there and
he could only meet me at 10:00. 1
tol d h im I wan ted some more
time to call my lawyer but I
agreed to hold the meeting at
10:00 and that I would call my
lawy er earl ier. I t hen a sked wh y
he wanted to talk to me. He told
me he woul d know wha t would be
done a bout my grade change by
then.
After talking to Dr. Ireland I
called my counsel. H e adv ised
me not to discuss my court action , t o t ake someone along w it h
me since Mr. Reeder would be
there , and t ha t there was no real
need t o d iscuss a grade change
since it is either approved or not
approved . I then tried to get a
member of t he Sociolog y
Depar t men t to go wi th me. Since
the professor had a 10 :00 class he
could not come. I then called Dr.
Shehan and asked him t o go with
me. I knew the situation would be
inflamed with Dr . Skehan but I
had no other choice. Dr. Skehan
was k i nd enou gh t o agree t o go
wit h me.
At 10:05, Feb. 19, Dr. Skehan
and I met with Dr. Ireland outside his office. Mr. Reeder was

Cindermen Place
Third At Penn

Conference

BSC's track and field team
concluded the most successful
season in the history of the
college, establishing sixteen new
BSC marks.
The Huskies ' final competition
was a third place finish (5 points
behind
the second place
Millersville ) in the Pennsylvania
Conference meet last weekend .
Coach Ron Puhl 's team was
hampered with injuries at the PC
meet , but still had an outstanding
showing. The best BSC performance was by sprint star Jim
Davis , who tied a conference
record in the 100 yd. dash at 9.6.
The 440 rela y team didn 't qualify
when third leg runner Rick
Eckert reinjured a hamstring
muscle, and the 1969-70 triple
jump champion Steve Ryznar
participated in that event with a
sprained ankle , but still captured
fifth place . Shotputter John Ficek
had trouble hittin g form and his
best competitive throw was
several feet under his BSC
record .
Bloomsbu rg has captured six
PC titles over the years (last in
1963), but none of the performance s of those prio r
aggre gations came near the
overal l performance of the 1971
squad.
The new BSC records
established this year were as
follows : 100 yd. das h—9.6 — Jim
Davis, Kingston; 440 yd. dash —
49.8 — Bruce Bittner , Catawissa ;
880 yd. run 1:53.5 — Larry Strohl ,

fair ratin g. Eighty-four percent
of the editors disapproved of

the editors surve yed responded
with either a fair or poor negative
evaluation , with 6 percen t rating .
Nixon's job here as excellent, 13
percent as good, 23 percent as
fair , and 58 percen t as poor. The
editors also disapproved of
handling
of
Nixon 's
Congressional Reform and the
war t h r e a t in the Near East ,
though w i t h regard to the
threat of war in the Near East 34
percent of the editors responded
positively and expressed their
highest approval of Nixon's efforts in this area .

Accordin g to a survey conducted by the Pennsylvania
Collegiate Press Association of
Pennsy lvania 's collegiate
newspaper editors between
March 24th and April 26th, 81 per

Nixon was doing either fair (39
per cent) or poor (42 per cent).
In addition when asked to rate
the job Congress has done in the
last year 79 per cent of the editors
responded Congress was doing
either a fair (56 per cent ) or poor
(23 per cent) job.
Regarding
Nixon 's performance the editors responses to
six more specific problem areas
provided further evidence of an
overall negative evaluation of the
administration. Nixon's handling

several att emp ts to explain wha t
my counsel had advised me to do.
Not being able t o explain , I st ood
quietly as Dr . Ireland continued
his ran ting. I asked Dr. Ireland ,
during a lull , if t he grade change
was approved. He refused to
d iscuss i t un til I en tered the office
" alone . " I told him I saw no need
to discuss it. He continued to
refuse to answer my question.
Dr. Saini came out of his office, I
presume
to evaluate
the
situ ation . He then returned to his
office. Dr. Ireland and I then
ended our conversation . As Dr .
Skehan and I were sea t ed in the
lobby discussing our meeting ,
three security guards came by.
Armed with walkie-talkies , they
went in search of Dr. Ireland 's
office. Who called them and for
what purpose? GUESS.
Feeling safe from Dr . Irelan d's
ran t ing in the Union , I asked him
if he had submit t ed the grade

changes to Dean Hoch and did he
approve them. Dr. Ireland said
there were no grade changes
submi tted . I asked him if Mr.
Solenberger gave him a grade
change for me. Dr. Ireland told
me that if I questioned his wor d I

should ask his superior

Solenberger called all the grade

that

do with them .)

The puzzle fell into place. It

appeared that Dr. Ireland and
Dean Hoch were playing games
with my future and they were
using Mr . Solenberger as a pawn .
Dr . Ireland said I was playing

gone on record saying tha t I DO

His first words were in ang er ;

down and t old me he wan ted t o

talking to the wall but at t he time
Dr. Ireland sounded concerned .
He felt I had a grievance and to
help me the best he could.
Needless to say it' s taking a long
time , three months.
I then went to Mr. McCubbin
(see paragraphs one and two.)
He told me to go back to Dr .
Ireland . At this point you know
what I think of Dr. Ireland . For

him again . He gaye me nothing to
