Nossen's house vandalized for
third time since last spring ;
tires and windows damaged
A brick crashed through the
patio window of the residence of
Dr. Robert J. Nossen for the third
time since last spring, Sunday
night.
Glass splattered all over the
patio and dining room floor from
the brick's impact but no one
was hurt. Dr. Nossen and his
wife, and several students had
just left the patio shortly before
the brick was thrown. The
Nossens had been entertaining
community guests at their home
earlier in the evening.
Dr. Nossen said this is the third
time since last SDrine his home
has been the scene of vandalism.
The brick throwing he said, "has
nothing to do with hating me".
"The action shows a lack of
simple, common decency . It is
childish and immature," Dr.
Nossen said. Pointing at the glass
littering his patio floor and living
Dr. Robert J. Nossen and Trooper Seibert examine the broken
windo w and the brick thrown by vandals. Sunday night marked the
third time since last spring vandals struck the Nossen residence.

Hinkle comments
on wrestlers
Mr. Hinkle, wrestling coach,
supplied the M&G with some
personal comments on the
present situation concerning the
wrestlers' decision not to participate in college sports
prog ram.
The full text of his remarks
follows :
Some time before my appointment as interim mat coach,
the members of the wrestling
team and Dr. Bresett were
confronted with making a
decision on this year's wrestling
season. Houk resigned as head
coa ch w i t h a late not i ce to t he
Athletic Department, leaving a
void to be filled.
A d ecision was made , someone
had to assume the responsibility
unt i l a decision could be made on
Houk' s replacemen t . I do have
sufficient
background
experiences as a coach and participant in the area of wrestlin g.
Of course, it' s obvious that I do
not have t he num ber of y ears
ex p erience Houk possesses.
The wrestli ng team had been
work ing out under the supervision of Dr , Bresett until I
b ecame available at the end of
the fre shman footbal l season .
H owever , their decision concernin g a facult y member ' s
re sponsibilit y did not come until
mid way into the football season.
I wa s no t p resent when the
decision was made , nor did they
know I woul d be appointed when
the decision was made.
At the very onset of my appearance at wrestling practice , I
received mixed emotions . I asked
the two team ca p tains to visit m y
office to discuss their philosophy
involving wrestlin g per se and
our plans for the season. Ron
Sheehan clearly exhibited his
resentment to me being involved ,
stating; "I hate your guts..."
Being completely unaware of

past experiences here, I knew at
this point things would be difficult.
Dr. Bresett and I conferred and
thought it best that under the
circumstances existing James
McCue, Floyd Hitchcock, and
Ron Sheehan would handle the
practice routine. My duties would
remain administrative until
needed. Let it be understood that
administrative duties encompass
school procedures and policies
which on ly a faculty member can

I t was evident t h at Ron
Sheehan and Floyd Hitchcock
resented my concern over the
equipment room , stat i ng ; "I was

that were present when Houk was
here." Its obvious Houk isn 't

room rug , Dr. Nossen said, "this
is nothing, someone could have
been killed ."
The BSC president also said the
repair bills for acts of vandalism
such as this do not come from his
pocket but from the state funds.
"Every nickel that goes to repair
windows here can't be used in the
college instructional program ,"
he said.
Other damages included a
shattered window adjacent to the
window punctured by a brick.
One of the bricks did not enter the
patio but did break glass. A small
piece of shale also shattered a
bathroom window on the second
floor of the residence.
Three tires on Dr\ Nossen's
personal car and one tire on a
state owned vehicle had the air
released from them by the
vandals. No other obvious
damages were reported by the

state police as of Sunday night.
No one in the immediate area of
the Nossen residence reported
any noise from the tampering
with the tires. Officer Ruckle of
the

discov ered that the air release v
valves of the tires were pulled out
eliminating most of the noise.
A number of obscenities
referring to Dr. Nossen were
painted across the front door and
along two sides of the residence
with red spray paint in large
letters.
As a finale to the chain of
damaging events was the' explosion of a cherry bomb placed
near the back door of the home.
Chief Haggarty of the local
police force, who happened to be
visiting across the street from the
Nossen residence, reported
seeing three figures in the
vicinity of the broken windows.

Shapp appoints 18
year old to board
Michael A. Simmons, after
taking an oath administered by
Gov . Milton J. Shapp, recently
became the first 18-year old in the
nation ever appointed to a local
dra ft board.
The appointment of Simmons,
Marysville, was made possible
by recent amendments to the
Selective Service Act which
lowered the minimum age from
30 to 18 for membership on local
boards.
At a news conference following
the appointment, Shapp called
the appointment "the most
dramatic change in the history of
the selective service system.
"I n contrast to ot h er
or gan izat ions t hat deal wi th one
particular segment of our
population , the Selective Service
has never included in the decision

who were directly affected by the
sy stem," Shapp noted.

young men affected , was to

"I am delighted that Penna.

said. "And in the future we will

Simmons, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Susquehanna High School in
Duncannon , Perry County.
He is presently employed by

Chutzpah ,

There's not much you can do

Chutzpah is aki n to a social
disease — it can eat away at you
inside for a long time and you
never know it's there. But , also
like a social disease, chutzpah
reaches a terminal stage.

At this stage even the poor

Editor,
I would like to comment on the
editorial that appeared in the
Dec. 8 issue of the Maroon &
Gold. I personally feel that it was
written in poor taste, contained
many wrong assumptions, and
that the author, Sue Sprague,
failed to do anything constructive,
by writing it. I myself am a
member of the former wrestling
team and I can honestly say that
the entire editorial doesn't have
one fact in it. Lately everyone
wants to know real facts, and
believe me, there are only 15
individuals who know the real
facts about the wrestling
situat ion — that is, the 15
wrestlers. We have made
numerous attempts to let the
pu blic kn ow ALL the reasons for
the decision and as usual , there
are a few who form an opinion
without trying to learn the facts .
If Miss Sprague had made an
attempt to read about , listen on
the radio, or talk to any wrestler
about the problem she never
would ha ve wr i tten the editorial
she did .
To begin with , this is not a
protest , for if it was we would
have qui t the season from the
start. The members of the
wrestling team do not need to be
reminded of anything — you have
to be reminded that the students
are supposed to support US.
Many of the wrestlers have
wrestled for BSC in the past — I
myself for three years and
believe me the situation this year
is impossible. Anyone who ever
competed in intercollegiate
sports knows that even though
you wrestle as individual s, you
ALWAYS represent BSC. When
you read the account of our
decision you left out 99 per cent of
the rea sons. As far as personal
records go, everyone has bad
seasons and they don 't quit — I
myself have lost many matches
and its no disgrace. By the way,
sportsmanship has nothing to do

with wrestling or not . Your
analogy of a little boy onlv shows
you lack sensible reasoning
ability . We are not ^children as
you believe — if you get enjoyment out of belittling athletes
in print , and by abusing vour
position as an editor — then I
doubt very much if we would
have satisfied you no matter
what we did. It you want the
facts, contact me personally or
any other wrestler, we'll give you
the real facts.

Students and Administrators :
This article concerns the
Psychology Depar tment : the
problem and the possible
solutions . Getting right to the
point: the Psychology Department is understaffed — greatly
so! There are too many students
in Psychology classes and not
enough teachers . Take for
example, General Psychology ,
Child Psychology and Experimental Psychology classes.
More teachers would mean
smaller classes and therefore, a
better learning situation and less
work for the professors. If the
classes were smaller , the student
would be in con tact with the
professor more frequently and
consequently the student and
teacher rapport would acquire a
better relationship. No more
"just a number . " Closeness
results in an increase in
motivation to learn , therefore
raising the quality of education .
Solutions? Before that is
discussed , it must be noted that
Harrisburg has halted the hiring
of more faculty members.
Reasons for this (I have concluded ) are : first , if Harrisburg
doesn 't shell out any more
money , it will make the Governor
look good at the end of the term .

I started thinking. And first
thing I remembered was how the
night before Jean started crying
in bed about whether or not the
world was safe to bring Joey

started thinking this over again.
Started thinking about war.
Started thinking about politicians

fast women while they keep
sending youngsters off to die. Not
just our government, either. All
of them. Started thinking about
all the babies that will grow up
just to die — I got sick.

Remember when the Pax broke

Asian conflict ended —
everybody tucked in their

and turned the settlement of their
disputes over to the Vatican. And
then the President announced he
was moving out of the White

by Joe Miklos
This is a very biased review .
You see, I have it in for "heavy"
music, because said heavy music
has gone from an exciting form to
commercial
garbage
and
creativity has been traded in for
noise. After a very successful
first album , Led Zeppelin fell into
this sort of thing. It was
almost
predictable.
Consequently , "Led Zeppelin II"
scared rne off from buying "III".
I happened to borrow this copy of
"IV."
I'm more than a little surprised. Something has happened
to Led Zeppelin. They've become
mellower, subtle-er. The faults of
the Zep are a little less obvious,
the music is a little quieter, and
vocalist Robert Plant has cut out,
to some extent, that ear-piercing
screeching. One thing to be said
— the Zeppelin isn't batting you
over the hea d with the same two
or three chords the whole playing
time on this album .
Not to say that Led Zeppelin is
any less heavy. It's just that
perhaps they 've discovered that
a lot more can be said if the
music is less noisy and more
complicated. The music retains
DRIVE , which is what really
makes heavy music heavy.
After the taming of Plant, one
can look at guitarist Jimmy
Page. He still hasn't refined his
guitar sty le, but is a bit more
flamboy an t with the technique he
alrea dy has. He seems to be
making up for the sloppiness he
put on display on "Led Zeppelin
II. " John Bonha m , the underrat ed d rummer , is a driving force
—he possesses a smoothness that

keeps the record moving. Bassist
John Paul Jones is not very
revolutionary , but remains (as on
all the other Zep albums) very
simplistic. He's the real weak
point of Led Zeppelin.
There are a few soft sones on
the album , not surprisingly, for
Page always has had a knack for
doing tha t stuff (see "White
Summer" on the "Little Games"
album by the Yardbirds) . "The
Battle of Evermore" features
guest vocalist Sandy Denny,
formerly of folk-oriented bands
Fairport Convention and Fortheringay. A female voice...with
Led Zeppelin? ! It works, which is
an even bigger eye-brow raiser.
"Stairway to Heaven " and
"Going to California " are also
soft and workable. "Stairway"
builds from soft to loud very
effectively , a nice transition in
dynamics. Plant for once doesn 't
scrape your inner ear.
Now for the traditional heavies.
"When the Levee Breaks" is a
return to big bad blues, with an
excellent harmonica part and
some slithery slide guitar. The
other stuff falls into the realm of
non-obnoxious loudness but
retains changes that a r e interesting instead of redundant..
Listen to the chords Page flings
around in "Four Sticks, " a song
that has a riff that otherwise
would be extremely repetitive.
"Led Zappelin IV" is an interesting album . It's heartening
to see a commercialized band
^
transforming itself into
a
mutable and seasoned collection
of music makers. The loudness
isn 't bothering me this time

Women in Politics
by La Walsh
and Mary Pat Treuthart
Last week at the Emergency
Conference for New Voters , the
Nationa l Women 's Political
Conference
presented
a
workshop entitled "Women in
Politics. " It was stressed that
women comprise more than half
of the American population ,
but the numerical advantage is
meaningless unless we utilize the
potential of our political power.
Sympathy for the feminist
movement
has
inspired
thousands of women to vocalize
their demands : the need for child
car facilities , equal pay,
educ ati on and emp loy men t, and
the right to abortion. Howev er ,
these demands are being heard
only by the \yhite male oower
stru ct ur e and accord in g to New
York Con gresswomen Bella

districts where any fam iliari ty

tier talk concluded by stressing
the importanc e of challengin g
issues one does not agree with
'and following through on that

of "merely stuffing envelopes."
She emphasize d when one

State representative , decided to

Mrs. Farenthold , women mus t
often work harder to sain
political office, but the task is
often deviated due to the fact
"the WASP incumbents do not
consider women formidable
opponents and thu s fail to do their
homework . " She advocated
utilizing the medium of television
and challenging opponents face-

to-face.
How does this conference and
the topics discussed apply to the
women at BSC? The obvious
inequities such as hours and
housing should make us aware
that we must reckon with these
campus issues of national concern to women.

Help lin e , May I Help You ?

These are the key words of a
n ew prog ram soon to be started
in this area .
Since my background has been
clinical and practice-oriented ,
one of the first areas of concern
- - when I arrived at Bloomsburg
were the services being offered to
the students. It was not long
before I, as others had before me,
became aware of the shocking
lack of student-oriented services.
It's true that the Bloomsburg
aFea has the typical array of
community services and that the
college has its Counseling Center ; but these services, as good as
they may be, are not and have not
met the growing need that the
students, as people, are expressing.
Commun ication with students,
faculty members and other interested individuals left the
following realizations , the
students are feeling more and
more the need for some type of
concerned, understanding and
realistic services; and that the
faculty holds in its midst several
well-trained, but non-practicing
people who could offer their
services.
As in any other community,
their seems to be a fear, a
hesitancy or a denial on the part
of the individual to admit that he
has a problem "severe" enough
that he needs to utilize an existing
service. This tends to happen
with people of all ages who are
"temporarily " struggling with a
"crisis" situation. It may be
death , lonliness , fear of
pregnancy, drugs, concern for
the future or a host of situations
which one does not normally view
as "serious " or "severe "
problems, but they create an
uncomfortable period in his life,

Part 2

which it not solved may result in
future and more serious crisis
situations. The problem here is
doubled by the fact that the
college is a separate community
and not totally accepted by the
Community - at - large. Fear and
resentment exist. Real or not, the
attitude persists- and as a result
the student is hindered in an
effective utilization of local

The student then has limited
resources and his problem may
continue until it has reached a
point where he feels it is
"serious". At this point he is lost.
Keeping this in mind , while
viewing the "problems of
wrong ", one realizes that services have to adapt to the people
rather than wait for the people to
adapt to the services. A new
flexible and interventive type of
program is needed to fill this gap.
With the co-operation of some

faculty members and the campus
minister, Jay Rochelle, the idea
of incorporating an emergency
phone system was initiated.
The purpose of such a service is
to be available in a crisis
situation, large or small, via the
phone, and offer help on a "here
and now" basis with the eventual
goal of veducing the crisis ,
building a liason between the
students and the existing
agencies, and offering a referral
as needed. This is done by a
group of trained volun teers who
listen to the individual calls, help
him clarify his situation , and
otter alternatives to his situation .
The basic philosophy is tha t
crisis situations occur indiscriminately affecting all and
respecting none. A crisis
situation arises when a person is
unable to handle a particular
situational event by any of his
known and tried copying

true. From the'very start of the
program I had no responsibilities
other than administrative. I'm
sure it is evident that my duties
were not in the coaching
category. In matters concerning
accountability, can students
assume total responsibility over
matters involving more than
practice sessions alone. Maybe
it's time for coaches to stand
aside.
Truly it's extremely difficult to
wrestle or supervise under these
adverse conditions, for it is a
mutual concern. Participation
with the wrestlers for approximately a 4 week period left

me with little information concerning their personalities, they
hardly know who I am. As far as
voting not to play for Coach
Dendstorf f , I haven 't any
association with these past
matters. Bear in mind that these
students did vote to continue the
wrestling season with full
knowledge of the prevailing
conditions, not alone a small
squad to start out with. As far as
what has happened before and
the refusal to play for another
coach, I am sure I have been
made .a scapegoat. It's sure
amazing, there wasn't any
trouble before!

mechanisms. The crisis may be
as seemingly simple as a "loversquarrel" or as obviously complex
as a contemplated suicide. Intervention at this point may save
a person from going through
untold anxieties as well as save a
life. This is the purpose of a
Helpline: To offer * assistance to
those individuals who need help
in deciding what to do or where to
go, when perhaps all other lines
of communication are closed to
them.
Commun ication then being the
Helpline 's first
k e y, the
responsibility is to the Caller —
of fering sincere, warm interest in
him as an individual , while
helping to clarify his situation
and objectively considering and
evaluating various alternatives
with him. The goal is not to solve
but to reduce crisis so that the
caller will be better equipped to
see his own conclusions and act
accordingly to alleviate or solve
his uncomfortable situations.
Since the success of such a
program depends on the
volun teers, the second responsibility is to them to prepare
them to carry out the programs'
objectives as effectively as
possible. The volunteers must
become aware of the problems
a ffecting the College Community
as well as their own personal
feelings and attitudes regarding
these. In this manner they will be
better equipped to handle the
calle.r 's difficulties without
imposition of their own attitudes
and values.
We are aware of the difficulties
inherent in such a program and
also its limitations at this point.
This kind of service could
feasibly be the hub of ever expanding student - oriented help

Bob Jacob, who made the trip
possible.
Maybe we're just a bunch of
idealistic kids. How can we stop a
political machine that erects
roadblocks where and when it
wants tol How can we esta blish
anything meaningful with those
damn TV cameras looking over
our shoulders; waiting to record
anything we accomplish, waiting
to tape it, edit it, put it on the 11
o'clock News and filter it
through the minds of 50 million
Americans where it will die for
lack of interest.
I hate machines that act nice
humans , but as I watch the 3,000
E m e r g enc y C o n f er e n c e
delegates f i le i nto the first
general meeting in the Loyola
gym , I wish those TV cameras

could record more than faces. I

wish they could record the op-

t imism , the anticipation , the hope
inside these 3,000 idealistic kids.
The meeting gets off to the
expected rhetorical start — "We

are here to put an end to the
manipulations of political parties
that put men like Lyndon Johnson
and Richard Nixon in the White
House. " Ever yone applauds ,
th ings are looking good.
But not for long; the first sign
of dissension, in the form of an

angry young man by the name of
Antonio Chavez , takes the stage.
Like vultures , the TV men sense
trouble and the spotlights go on.
"The Chicano caucus is not
happy with the Conferenc e. Why
were there no Chicano speakers?
Why were no efforts made to
bring a larger Chicano delegation

to the .Conference?" The
Chicanos cheer, the rest of the
delegates are silent except for
that undercurrent of discussion
that runs through any large
group when someone drops a
bombshejl in its midst.
Duane Draper, chairman of the
meeting, apologizes and tries to
explain the oversight. This
doesn 't do much to please th e
Chicanos but the meeting goes
on.
a grey na trea man in a gray
suit takes the stage. Except for

time Mr. Rauh has finished his
vivid description of the reactionary Mr. Rej inquist, I' ve made
a mental note t o withhold my
judgment of speakers until I' ve
seen the color of their neckt ies.

emerge as several sp eakers
address the crowd — dum p

and round , dressed in a black suit
with a dark wide-brimmed hat ,
she looks like anyone 's grandmother. But she launches into her
speech with a ferocity that must
send chills down the spines of
"the white , male, elitists " in
Congress.

"To prove to me that women
are inferior", she tells the crowd,
"the 82 year old head of the New
York House delegation pointed
out the fact that there were no
women at the Last Supper. Well I
told him , 'We may not have been
at the last one, but you can b e
da mn sure we'll be at t he next

feet and applauding wildly. They
love her. Grandmothers are
beautiful and kind and understanding and Bella Abzug is a

CAGERS SQUEEZE BY RAMS

The Husky basketball team ,
playing sluggish throughout the
first three and a half minutes,
jumped out in front of the Wes.t
Chester State Rams (0-4) and
held on to a 69-61 victory at the
West Chester field house.
The Husky surge started at 9:30
left in the game when Dennis
Mealy, who had 14 pts, hit from
the corner, then forced a W . C,
turnover a few seconds later.
W.C. got the ball back , but Bob
Consorti stole it and scored on a
layup . As W.C. brought the ball
upcourt, Art Luptowski made a
steal and cruised in for another
layup, giving Bloom a 51-46 lead
with 8:08 left in the game. Bob
Consorti stole another and hit
Howard Johnson for two, giving
Bloom a lead they never

Until the Huskies spurted ,
three fourths of the way through
the game, it was a nip-and-tuck
affair , with no team building up
more than a few points lead.
Garry Choyka started off cold,
but came around for two quick
baskets around the ten minute
mark of the second half.

the score 57-53, BSC on top.

Physical Education Theory
states that the method of attaining a strong position in intercollegiate competition, in any
sport, is to first build a firm base
of classroom instruction. Next
the college must develop extensive intramural competition.
Then, and only then, does the
school have the right to field
extramural teams.
At BSC women's gymnastics is
about to enter the intramural
pha se. This school already has a
fine program of classroom in-

struction . In fact, any stunt can
be taught during classes. Unfortunately the time factor limits
indiv idual instruction to a minute
or two per class. This is where the
intramural program comes in.
The intramural program is
designed for people who want to
spend more time and gain
greater skill then they could
obtain with classroom work
alone. So far this year there have
been three two hour periods. A
fourth is planned for December
15 (see schedule on bulletin board
in Centennial gym for time). One
may ask how much more skill
can be gained in four two hour
periods. The answer , quite
bluntly, is not much. Mrs. Rost
relates that they are doing these

New courses Shapp nominates
student Trustees

Two non-credi t courses,
Federa l Income Taxes and
Creative Art Experiences, will be
available starting in February,
1972 , in the Continuing Education
evening courses being offered at
BSC.
.
Federal Income Taxes is a
course designed to provide an
understanding of the federal
income tax structure and to
provide training in the application of tax problems as they
apply to the individual taxpa yer.
Attention will be focused in those
tax problems and principles
which are relevant to individual
taxpayers.
The Federal Income Taxes
course will begin February 2,
consisting of five sessions on
Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to
9:00 p.m. at a fee of $10.
The Creative Arts Experiences
course will provide opportunities
in a non-structured atmosphere
for an exploration of various art ,
media , and styles. Emphasis will ..
be placed on a subjective exploration of the student's environment. The majority of the
challenges will be graphic with
some three-dimensional activities. Students will be encouraged to develop a personal,
style based on their preference of
materials and subject matter.
This course will consist of ten
sessions beginning February 1,
and will be held Tuesday
evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at
a fee of $25.

There 's got to be
a better way

In the past few years American
education has been on the firing
line and many new teachers are
screaming: "There's got to be a
better way!"
To cope with educational
change, the teachers of today
need to know the options that are
available to them. One way to
discover these options is to study
other educational systems. And
the best way to learn about them
is to live them.
Eastern Michigan University
offers you an opportunity to study
and live British education for a
summer through its Workshop in
British Education at the
University of Reading, Reading,
England from June 23 to August
18, 1972.

He can say, "Look at all the
money I saved you!". Second ,
Harrisburg believes that because
of student un rest on campus,
parents do not want to pay more
for tuition fees. The solutions
therefore are : first , do we have
any extra money in the college
budget? If we do, it could be used
to hire more professors — with
the approval of Harrisburg.
Second , if we have no extra
money in the budget , we would ,
therefore, have to cut back
somewhere, say, get rid of some
of the administrators — we don 't
need all of them. What we do need
are more facul ty members (not
only in the Psychology Department but other Departments as
well ) and less administrators .
The solutions are feasible and the

conditions "memory " and
"hope" lead us to the ultimate
questions : what is the meaning of
lov e and caring and awareness—
in short , the Presence of God —
for my life and my relationships?
Where do they come from ? What
do I do with them? How do I
respond to these gifts?
It is a Christian discovery that
every man is worthy of dignity
and honor, that each individual is
sacre d an d must not be ex ploi ted,
because he is radically accepted
by God . It is the Christian
proclamation that now, in this
p resent moment , w h erever y ou
a re si tt i n g or stan di n g , you can
strip to the core of your being and
find there not SILENCE but a
gigantic "Yes. " It is the
Christian proclamation that all
systems which obscure your love
a n d dam pen your awareness are
EVIL beca use they deny your
radical humanity . But so many
people get accustomed and
satisfied with being less than
fully human. Like robots in a
machine and plasti c culture , they

act AS IF they WERE human , not
BECAUSE they ARE.
Radical Christ-mass is the
unfolding of a great big "Yes" to
man 's true experience and
yearning and discovery of the
Divine in himself and his
relationship s with others .
Radical Christ-mass says "No"
to all systems and institutions
and people who want to
manipulate and exploit and put
others down. Radical Christmass says "God Is at the center
of life" when you strip away all
the things that' numb your ability
to receive and give love (because
it is harder to receive). Radical
Christ-mass says that God is
