In this general election they will decide if "Proj ect 70" is to become a reality. "Proje ct 70" consists of securing bonds amounting to seventy million dollars for the acquisition of land for state parks, reservoirs, and other conservation, recreation and historical preservation purposes. If the bill should be passed, "Project 70" will ultimately result in such benefits as regional and community parks. Better hunting and fishing facilities will also become available. John A. Hoch, Acting President , has appointed a special committee to determine the various areas in which the College can be of benefit to "Proj ect 70." Members of this committee " are Mr. Thaddeus Piotroski , Assembly projectual; Mr. Gerrold Hart , Bulletin Board Display; Mr. Kenneth Wilson, Benjamin Franklin Elementary Laboratory School — Art ; Dr. Royce Johnson , Benj amin Franklin Elementary Laboratory Unit; Dr. Bruce Adams, Assembly ; Dr. Mary Homrighous, Assembly ; and Bruce Dietterick, Public Relations. The plan of "Project 70," In brief 'is: To acquire land for development of new regional State parks in 43 critical urban counties. To acquire wooded land and stream valleys, and thus ini crease fish and wildlife. • To enable local communities to provide additional open space i'or recreational and scenic purposes. To encourage and assist development of three new Federal recreational facilities , each containing large man-made lakes. To provide .' sites for future construction of multi-purpose reservoirs necessary to protect Pennsylvania's water. To stimulate further development of resorts and vacation areas, and thus increase Pennsylvania 's potential as a vacationland. To preserve the many historical landmarks In which Pennsylvania is so richly endowed to the cultura l benefit of All Americans as well as our own residents. Bloomsburg State College is giving its full support to "Proj ect 70" and is urging that you , the students, provide your support for the referendum, November 5. If you are not eligible to vote, it is urged that you contact your friends and relatives asking that they support the referendum when they cast their ballot, • Don Hopkins Research Pap ers F iled In Libra ry Research proj ects written by students working on their Master's degree are on file now in the BSC Library. In partial fulfillment of the requirem ents for obtaining a Master of Education degree, each graduate student must write a research proj ect on some problems of education or of a related academic field. Upon receiving his degree, the student must leave with the college three copies of this research proj ect, two of which are bound. One of these copies is placed on file in the graduate office while the other is placed in the library. BSC's library has begun its collection of these research projects. The first of these was written by Arthur Hontz, who received his degree in May. Since then, seven of the twelve which were written by the students who received their degrees in August, have been added. For your convenience, these books will be kept on permanent reserve. Wool Tapestries Bear BSC Shield Two new wool tapestries featuring the unofficial coat of arms of BSC can be seen in the Alumni Room. The rugs were made by the Magee Carpet Company at a cost of $500. Each rug has an overall size of 7x7 feet , while each shield has a diameter of 5 feet. Emblems on Shield Outstanding emblems on the shield are the William Penn ship "Welcome," a plow, and sheaves of wheat emblematic of Pennsylvania's participation in agriculture and commerce. The crest is flanked by an olive branch and a sheaf of wheat with the Eagle emblem on top. Mrs. Eleanor Herre, wife of Dr. Ralph S. Herre of the BSC faculty and designer at the Magee Carpet Company, made the design from a detailed drawing by George Stradman of the BSC faculty in 1960, production of the year, "Little Mary Sunshine," ;s nearing its final stage of perfection as opening night approaches. The player personalities include the following: Karen Hoffman (Little Mary Sunshine) is a senior elementary maj or from Quakertown and has previously appeared in "Plain and Fancy." Robert Hensley ( Captain Big Jim Warington ) has already displayed his talents at BSC in "Skin of Our Teeth," "Crucible," "Plain and Fancy," "School for Wives," "Wh at Every Woman Know s," "W arm Penins u la," and "Ghosts ,"; Bob is a chemistry major. Pris cilla Gr eco, an English maj or, is co-chief of stage crew and will be appearing as Nancy Twinkle (Little Mary 's Maid). During past seasons she has appeared in "What Every. Woman Knows, " a nd the "Warm Peninsula. " Don Hopkins ( Corporal Billy Jester) is a senior English maj or and a veteran of the BSC stage, appearing in "What Every Woman Knows," and the "Warm Peninsula." Henry Fetterman will be appearing as Chief Brown Bear, chief of the Kadota Indians. Former plays he has appeared in include "Crucible," "What Every Woman Knows," "Warm Peninsula," and "Ghosts." Henry is also chief of the poster crew. Carole Carter will portray Madame Ernestine Von Liebedich, an opera singer. A math and physics maj or. Carole first appeared in the Freshman Talent Show and has had numerous area engagements singing, including performances at Eagles Mere. Technical Crews Include: Costume Crew—The costumes for the play have been designed by Jen n if er Smith , who also is serving as crew chief. In the making of forty costumes, she has been assisted by an able and hard-working crew. Stage Crew—Headed by Donnalea Van Pelt and Priscilla Greco, this crew has made a tepee, totem poles, a replica of the Colorado Inn , and other set pieces. Property Crew—Betsy Harder has Maietta To Attend ASH A Convention Dr. Donald F. Maietta, Director of Special Education, will arrive in Chicago by TWA on November 3, to attend the American Speech and Hearing Association Convention. .

Why do we come to college? This is a question frequently asked' by many students after they have begun their studies. There seems to be a gradual development of discontentment with college even though the individual student may enjoy college life. A number of factors may contribute to this situation. Student Suicide All over our nation the many demands — intellectual pursuit and emotional — are taking their toll j n the increasing number of mental breakdowns. In some instances, youthful suicides. A recent survey at Yale showed that suicide is the second most common cause of student death next to accident. Nationally, suicide is the sixth most common cause of death among people of the same general age group. Pressures and College What causes these many disturbances among our college population ? Many new pressures have been put on students by the American dream of education itself. The idea of college for everyone and the importance attached by our society to a college degree have created a whole new set of pressures on young people. Parental "Push" Many parents are guilty of enforcing this new trend. In their eagerness to have their children succeed, they may fail to hear the cries of distress against the plans they have for their children. This is illustrate d by the fact that many parents try to dictate the child's choice of career. They claim that they "know what is best" for their child. Th ese same parent s do n ot rea li ze t h at it is th e vocat ion h e will h ave f or th e rest of his life ; therefore, he should choose "it on his own from his interests and abilities. Higher Standards Competitive pressures are also causing many students "to break." Colleges themselves are responsible for this situation by raising the admission stan dard s, increasing the course requirement, t h us encoura gin g a genera l tone of intense competit ion amon g stu dents to remain , for at t imes a quota is pl aced on t h e number of students t h at will rema in i n college. This increased academic competition harms the extremely bright students as well as the less able ones. A more cooperative , permissive , or int imate atmosph ere i s need ed rat h er t h an a highly compet i t ive one which may become unendurable. Student Identity A crisis also arises when a student is unable to identify himself. The studen t must choose a curriculum in which he can do well in order that he may identify himself with a positive achievement. Also along the lines of identity, social activities must be chosen so he may again identify himself as a person in our society. Th e youn g coll ege stu dent of today must t h us be rea dy to face t h ese along with many oth er probl ems in or der to answer t h e quest ion "Why do we come to college ? " Rally 'Ro und Some Rowdy "Rah - songs" Sprites , Spooks Inhabit Stac ks? by Kathy Roselli The season of spooking and spirits is upon us again. To the typical "professional-minded" BSC student, t h e custom of Ha lloween i s relegated! to the pre-adolescen t segment of the subconscious. There are still a few individuals left , however, who desire to observe the Gothic rites involved in the celebration of the "bewitching time" of year. Spooking in the Stacks How, however, can t h ese poor sentimentalists fulfill their love of my st i ci sm an d su p e r n a t u r a li sm without committing "the unpardonable sin" of being "unprofessional?"

Two New Bloom Book Stores Offer BSC Students Variety and Economy The hue and cry for a bookstore which stocks Plato , Ch aucer , Hard y , Tolstoy, an d Joy ce as well as Mich ener , O'Hara , an d not j ust obscure writers of pure sex an d near-pornography is finally answered. Bloomsburg can now boast of not one but two book stores whose emphasis is not upon deodorant , toot hp aste or sweatshirts but reading material. Meet Heading Needs In an M&G interview, the owners of Hehrie's Card and Book Nook and Husky Quality Books stressed t h e desire to meet t h e book needs of BSC students and reading townspeople. Accordingly, each will "go all out" to obtain any needed reading material. The owners also emphasized that neither store will be a profit-making venture for some time , but they feel that Blomsburg can gain from having stores which stress quality in their books.

The paper i l a member of the Columbia Scholastic Preis Association and the Collegiate Preis Service. All opinions expressed by columnists and feature -writers , Including lettert'tO'the-edltor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the Individuals. Nothing, however, adds more to , the ghoulish atmosphere of the stacks area than the "spirits" which inhabit it. These "airy spirits" have an astounding resemblance to college students. They are characterized , moreover, by the glassy "lost" look in their eyes. It is fabled that many of these sylphs actually become human beings if some kind soul will take them by the hand and guide them out of this tomb of tomes. SuiKM'liuma-n Fonts ? The spirits of the stack area, moreover, have been known to accomplish such supernatural feats as deshelving a 20-pound bound collection, of the New York Times Magazine, sneezing fifteen consecutive times, and balancing themselves precariously on a footstool. These supernatural beings also frighten very easily so it is recommended that you do not enter aisles stealthily—raise some havoc to let them know of your approach ! One s pi rit Is reporte d to be in a state o f by Jennifer Smith Among the things in which BSC is sadly lacking are 8. few really rousing college songs. We all complain because few people show up at pep rallies; perhaps if they were given something really interesting to say , more people would show up. A student must be able to identify wit h a song before he can really become involved in it. This is a little difficult , with a song such as "My Girl' s a Hullabaloo" inasmuch as most people don 't even know w h at a "hullabaloo" is. Rowdy' Renovations Bloomsburg might do well to h ave a few tru ly rowdy songs like "Rambling1 Wreck," which is from Georgia Tech. It's much more f un to sing I' m a rambling wreck fro m Georg ia Tech , and a hell of an engineer , q hell of a , hell of a, hell of a, hell of an engineer; Wh en stu d ents are f orced to si n g mild lines like As I grow older I shall grow bolder And I shall h old her Clove to my shoulder t h ey can 't be expected to sh ow much enthusiasm. Just consider the spirit with which the student body would shout "Like all good, jolly fellows I drink my whiskey clear." Lyrics such as these are close to a student's heart. Perhaps, we could develop something for Bloomsburg along these lines. An example might be: I'm a rattling crate fro m Bloomsburg Stat e, and a hell of a sandbox eng ineer! Quinn and Masina Excel In Stra da by Linda Williams La Strada, t h e stor y of a youn g girl, Geisomina, wh o h as never grown u p mentally , an d Zampano, a vagabond carnival worker, who li ves for hi s own interests, i s an extremely entertaining film. The plot is the ' relatively simple an d poignant story of the strange attachment which develops between Geisomina and Zampano. Geisomina and Zampano Geisomina realizes her feelings for Zampano and remains loyal to him through a series of events which illustrate Zampano's viciously brutal character. When Zampano kills another carnival worker , Geisomina is deeply affected , an d she strongly blames Zampano. Impatient with her, Zam p ano abandons Geisomina and resumes his traveling ,only to be haunted by the memory of this simple-minded, quiet girl. Severa l years later, when he learns of her death , he seems completely crushed , and he fully realizes what she ha d meant to him. Brilliant Acting Anthony Quinn as Zampano and Guilctta Manilla as Geisomina gave excellent performances. Even without an understanding of the Italian language, the viewer could sense the projection of character. Quinn is a savagely cruel , barbaric vagrant who is extremely selfish and his character contrasts strongly to that of Miss Masina 's, who is immediately felt to be a simple, . pathetic girl forced to live with Zampano against her will. Guiletta Masina also injects several touches of humor by her actions and facial expressions which were thoroughly enj oyable. traumatic shock because she was in the farthest niche of this catacomb when the ten o'clock "lights out" occurred. Thus, the BSC Gothic does not need such extras as a desolate moor, three witches, a cauldron boiling over with "baboon blood, " to set the mood of Halloween. All" they really need Is library card, an Inordinate amount of courage, and the stack area !

Editor 's Note: The M&G staff, knows there are many BSC students who write poetry ; we are inviting all student poets td> contribute their creative works not only to the Olympian, but also to this newspaper. Students who wish to contribute should please contact Kathleen Roselli, P.O. #277. A. A. STAGG MEDAL TO TOP GRIDDERS ( Continued from page 4) Stagg was selected for Walter Camp's first all American football team during his playing days, and at Yale, was named "Coach of the Year " at the age of 83. He introduced to football such basics as numbers on jerseys, the huddle, an d such scientific techniques as the T-formation. Medal To Be Awarded Durin g the pep rally on Novelnber 8, representatives of the M&G will present the Amos Alonzo Stagg medals to those Husky gridders who have been chosen "Player of the Week" by the Bloomsburg football coaching squad. The medal is on display in the trophy window across from the college post office. Right and wrong in human acts should be discussed in the same temper as good and bad in things. — Thomas Aquinas Some Drawbacks The plot was good and the acting was excellent. There were, however, several faults which were immediately evident to the viewer. The fact that the movie was in Italian was a definite disadvantage to the audience, and it decreased the enjoyment of the film considerably. The subtitles were not always realistic and they couldn't convey the true meaning of the spoken word. In several sections of the film , the subtitles were missing entirely, and the viewer was forced to guess at what was being said. The system of subtitling, however, is one of the necessary drawbacks in viewing a foreign film. La Strada, a typical example of Folllnf a artistry, was an excellent film. La Strada fits well into flne tradition of such FelUnl films as Boccacio 70 and La Dolce Vita , Letters To The Editor (Letters to the editor are an expression of the individual writer's opinion and do not necessarily reflect the views of the newspaper.) Dear Editor: I would like to comment on two points brought out in the letters of last week concerning the judging of th e "floats. " The first point concerns the complaint aimed at the criteria which the judges used in deciding the winner. Perhaps if the committee which chooses the judges would ask all the . judges, at the very least, one week in advance it would help stabilize the procedure. Furthermore if that same committee would notify the judges about the criteria for j udging a little more than five minutes in advance (perhaps*1adding that they should bring their own paper and pencil ) this too would help. The second point is actually the one which disturbs me the most. This is the implication shared by the writers that whatever takes longest and most work is then obviously the BEST. To me one object of an education is to teach people to do better things in a shorter amount of time. However, if I am wrong, then please allow me to suggest a specific set of criteria by which the entries may be judged in future y ears. Require each group to keep a detailed record on 1) how long they have thought about their floats , 2) how many hours each person has worked on t he flo at , 3) how much money was spent , 4) how may tissues were stuffed into how many holes, and any other categories which might be suitable. Then the judges would just have to add up all the totals and multiply by the number of wheels to find the winner—all very obj ective ! This fallacious emphasis on effort alone is dangerous in that it penetrates the classroom and encourages the students to believe that they should be graded on the time and effort spent on assignments rather than the quality and originality of their work. I fear that this may be indicative of the American system of education , if not of the American way of life. — Amy J. Short The results of the Otis Gamma Intelligence Test, administered to 767 Freshmen and transfer students during the placement testing program showed that the median IQ is 118, which compared favorably with other testing results. Forensic Society Include s Orat ory The BSC Forensic Society, which in the past has been concerned solely in debating, is now broadening its scope to include a division of oratory. The main obj ective of this new group is an Intra-college Oratorical Contest which will be held in December. The contest will be composed of two speaking categories, extempore and oral interpretation of both poetry and prose. Prizes will be awarded to the winner in each division. Meeting Planned Any person who would be interested in competing in either of these categories is asked to come t o Room 11 of Science Hall at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28. Previous experience in speech contests is not necessary. Information and help in these speaking areas will be given at the Monday meetings. If our college contest is successful, the society hopes to send speakers to some of the intercollegiate oratorical contests held at colleges and universities in the state. BSC Mad r igals Revise Pro gram ^^ The Bloomsburg State College Madrigal Singers have recently been reorganized under their new director, Mr. William Decker.

He was selected by Coach Blair and his staff on the basis of the determination and dedication he has demonstrated for BSC throughout the season. Neil plays both offense and defense, going both ways against teams which use a platoon system. The platoon system is one in which a team alternates players on offense and defense in order to give each man a brief rest. By using this system, a learn can usually wear down a player who goes both ways. This year Neil, despite the odds of a platoon system working against him, has played a steady brand of good football. Second Year in Row Neil is majoring in Biology. He 'earned a Maj or "B" in football last year and i§ one of two players to be given a "Player of the Week" award for two consecutive years. He is also active in BSC's Intramural Wrestling program. BSC Girls Meet Fourth Downfall Av&Stagg pedal Marauders Top Bloom On a from the To Top GriMers SIDELINES . . . Fumble In the 3rd Quarter by Fred Saxton The Bloomsburg Huskies came out on the short end of a 6-0 defensive battle Saturday at Millersville. The winners capitalized on a third quarter fumble for the score. Neither team could mount their offense for a sustained drive ; rule infractions combined with fumbles and interceptions were the order of the day. On the first set of downs for the Huskies a Bob Kurzinsky pass was picked off and returned to the BSC 20; but , spirited line work stopped the Millersville drive and the Huskies took over. Relied on Short Passes Coach Blair's charges could not get their ground game rolling and relied mostly on short passes from quart erback Kurzinsky to Dick 'Davala and Wayne Thomas. When the Huskies went for the long bomb, the Marauders line, time and 'aeain. SDilled Kurzinskv for a loss. Scoring Opportunity The Huskies best scoring opportunity came early in the third quarter. Mechanicsburg senior Roy Peffer boomed a fantastic fortyfive yard punt, which rolled out of bounds on the Millersville six inch mark. Bloom's defensive efforts put the opposition in a punting situa'tion on their own twenty. And when a bad pass from center went over the head of the punter and out of bounds on the two, it looked like the Huskies ' ball; but , an off sides infraction gave the Marauders another chance to punt out of danger . The climax came with 14:13 left in the third period. Game Captain Peffer intercepted a Millersville aerial and returned it to his own 16; but on the second play from •ing bully, and the ball was passed down the field towards the goal.

Three plays later Marauder Captain Bob Misaros bulled the final six yards from his fullback slot for the score. The placement was wide but Millersville had scored enough for the victojy . The ' Huskies tried to come back as Davala made a circus catch at mid'field but a penalty on the next play moved the ball back again. Davala again made a grab good for twen ty yards but another Husky rule infra ction kept them away from the goal. Millersville's def ense held during the remainder of the fourth quarter to send the Huskies do\vn to their fourth defeat of the season. Around the BSC campus there seem to be many "Monday morning quarterbacks " who tell one .and all why the Huskies lost and how they could've won. These secondguessers are alw ays critical of Husky play but never offer any sensible solutions to the .problems they criticize. And , whenever the Huskies win, these grandstand coaches are not heard from—they have no congratulatory remarks to make. They sulk, anxious for th e Husky gridders to lose so they may "spou t off" again. * * * Because of these "Mond ay morning quarterbacks" there are many theories circulating around BSC portals explaining the dismal HusTennis ky record this season.
