Newspapers Editors
Attend Governor 's
Press Confer ence

Members of the editorial staff of
the Maroon and Gold attended a
press conference held by Governor
William Scranton in Harrisburg on
November 20. Among the 103 college students present were C.
Blair Hartman , editor ; Chuck
Smith; Kathy Roselli; Jennifer
Smith; and Mr. Richard Savage,
advisor.
Thirty-seven colleges and universities from Pennsylvania were
represented at this question and
answer session. After a brief welcom e, Governor Scranton opened
himself to any questions which the
students had to ask.
Loans and Building:
The session proceeded with questions of local importance concern ing government loans to colleges
and college students, and the future of the building program for
state colleges.
As the conference continued,
questions of national importance
were brought up. Governo'r Scranton declined any thought of being
drafted for candidacy to the office
of Vice President and then commented that Margaret Chase
Smith, if nominated, should be
considered for her capabilities for
office and not her sex.
Text Book Tax
Concerning taxes on text books,
Governor Scranton thought that
this question would be presented
before the legislature sometime in
the future. When asked about "wet
s cho ols" he commented that the
newly enacted legislation was not
directed toward them, but to all
persons under the age of 21.
At the conclusion of the conference, Governor Scranton extended
an invitation for the possibility of
a future conference.

Cam pus Reactions to An Untimely Trag edy

The sad news of the death of
President John F. Kennedy came
as a great shock to the BSC campus, as it did to the rest of the
world.
As *students were coming from
their classes, they were told of the
tragic event; and at the time this
news was received very lightly, as
if .this were some horrible joke or
rumor someone had started. The
entire campus population gathered
around televisions and radios only
to hear the sobering statem ent,
"The President is dead."
The MAHOON & GOLD questioned a cross section of students,
faculty, administrators, and noninstructional personnel in order to
learn what reactions or feelings
they had upon learning of the
death of tho President:
Ann Edwards: In spite of the
horror which gripped American
hearts everywhere, I can't help

can do this, nothing will change.
We will continue to be the greatest country in the world.
Hazel M. Frye: In common with
people throughout the world, the
tragic death of John F. Kennedy
seem's to me to be a needless waste
of a brilliant life. Through the
media of radio and television we
felt that we knew Mr. Kennedy,
and his murder was a personal tragedy to all. At the present moment
it would seem that this assassination has served to bring the people
of this country together, as no
other happening has done for many
years, In order that his short life
was not lived In vain, we must
unite to see that the policies In

carried out.

Upon arriving in Washington, Gary said they found that the people
were stretched out for three miles and were eight deep waiting to" enter
the Rotunda of the Capitol where the body of the President laid in state.
They entered the Capitol building at 4:30 am after waiting in line for six
hours; they also stated that there were approximately 120,000 people in
line behind them waiting their turn to pass by the President.
On Monday they were among the 800,000 people who lined the streets
of Washington to view the procession as the President was moved from
the Church to Arlin gton National Cemetery. They stood at the corner of
Con stit u ti on and Bacon Avenues and were f ortu nat e enough to be at the
front of the line. Here again the wait to see the cassion was almost six
hmirs .

During this time a member of the group had the opportunity to talk
to one of the F.B.I, agents assigned to help cover the route of the procession. The agent told him some of the many precautions taken to insure
the lives of the various dignitaries and heads of state present for the
services—the fact that there were thirty-two men alone assigned to cover
the bullet-proof car of Charles DeGaulle, President of France. The other
bullet-proof car carried President Johnson and it was covered by 28
special agents. The F.B.I, agent also pointed out that all drains had been
checked for bombs and that all buildings on the route had been completely searched one hour before the procession began.
Gary also noted the very impressive array of 50 j ets passing over after
the procession had arrived at Arlington National Cemetery. They further
noted the complete respect and admiration of the people for Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy as well as the fact of complete peace among the peoples
of Washington itself , especially in consideration of the ever-growing
racial problems.

Kennedy Leaves Legacy Of Courage

A man is dead ; a nation mourns; the world squares its shouders and
prepares to bear the burden of grief which has been thrust upon it by
the hollow sound of a rifle cracking in the crisp sunlight of a Texas
afternoon. The warmth and laughter which normally fill the holiday
season were absent this year, while Americans, searching for words to
answer the awfu l "Why?" reaffirmed this nation's goals and principles.
A Legacy
It is an unhappy truth that some good must come from sorrow, and
the knowledge that with the end of President Kennedy's life came, not
anarchy, but a new leader. Lyndon B. Johnson's first hour in office was
a fulfillment of the basic tenet of President Kenned y's administration—
America must move forward. Thus , Vice President Johnson became the
first beneficiary of the legacy left to the United States by its 35th President.
Man Of Courage
Mr. Kennedy?s bequest to the country for which he died is a simple
one which touches every citizen. More important, it reaches across national boundaries and provides inspiration to all who would honor his
memory. It is the gift of a man who loved liberty as he loved life, who
admired courage as he was courageous, and who endured the. pain of
the presidency with the same fortitude with which he endured the
physical pain of an injured back. Both Were constant.
To his successor, Mr. Kennedy left the faith and determination
which must guide Lyndon B. Johnson through a trial by politics, the
strength to see him bear his office with dignity, the inspiration to call
upon his countrymen to "banish rancor from our words and malice from
our hearts. . .." to meet the "tomorrow which is ours to win or to lose."
Future in Youth
It is not improper for youth to think of that tomorrow as our property, for it was the youth of America which President Kennedy called
this nation's most valuable natural resource. What greater memorial can
we give that vital, perceptive young man than a pledge that we will
square our shoulders to meet the "tomorrow which is ours to win or
lose."
We of the MAROON AND GOLD would like to join in expressing
our grief and sympathy to the Kennedy family. We express the sorrow
felt by the entire campus population.

Conf erenc e Benef icial To The Public

Any day that an individual picks up a daily newspaper he may read
that any number of public officials have held a press conference. Late
last month the MAROON AND GOLD had such an opportunity to
attend a press conference with the Governor of Pennsylvania, William
W. Scranton.
Open Questioning
The invitation of the Governor at the beginning of the conference
to "open with anything you want to ask" was very symbolic of our government and its way of operation. The college representatives present
spent a great deal of time on issues concerning the many aspects of education as well as questions on various other political issues. All questions
were presented in good faith , and the Governor did his best to answer
all of them. There was very little diversion from the subject matter
presented.
Privilege of People
Our system of government is run on the basis of what the people
desire and need. Press conferences of this type are one means in which
the governing body and the people know exactly what is being done by
their elected representatives.
It is a privilege such as this — that of questioning public officials —
often it is not used to its best advantages. It is a custom that should be
continued as. a benefit to American citizens.

Literary Material Requested for Olympian

The Olympian, BSCs annual literary magazine, is now accepting
material for publication in this
year's issue. This publication,
which is put on sale each year for

Martin J. Bane

BSC Student Active
In Communications

by Kathy Roselli

The field of modern communications is vast and dynamic. Today,
men are only a fraction of a second
away from the news of important
national or international occurrences. This "communications miracle"
has been made possible largely
through the media of newspapers,
radio , and television. Martin J.
Bane, a j unior at BSC, has had experience in two of the most important of these fields—the newspaper and the radio.
Interested in Technical Areas
Marty 's associations with newspapers have been in the highly interesting, but little known, mechanical area. While still attending Ashland High School, Marty
worked as a pressman on the Ashland Daily News. His interests in
the mechanics of putting out a
newspaper grew, and upon grad uation from high school, Marty attended the MurgenthaJer Newspaper School for one year in New
York City. At Murgenthaler, Marty
was instructed in such finer areas
of newspaper printing as—typography, set type, and the graphic
arts. Working simultaneously as a
"d evil ," a printer's apprentice, on
the New York Times gave Marty a
deeper insight into the art of printing.
Linotype Operator
Although presently attending
BSC, Marty has not lost interest
in newspaper printing or the field
of journalism itself. During summer vacations, Marty is employed
by Seid er 's Pu bli shi n g Company in
•Pottsville as a linotype operator.
. When queried concerning the relationship between the mechanical
and journalistic ends of the newsp aper , Marty replied that , on the
whole, "a mutual respect" exists
between the two areas. It is true,
^ often
he stated, that type setters
complain that reporters are too
fussy about their stories; reporters, on the other han d, feel that
those associated with the mechanical end are not careful in setting
up their articles. In the final analysis, however, both reporters and
type setters admire the skills and
abilities of one another.
DIsc-Jockoy and Newscaster
Closely associated with today 's
newspapers is that widespread
media of communication—radio.
Marty Bane is also well-acquainted
with this field. Presently, he is a
disc-j ockey and news commentator
with WMBT in Shenandoah. A radio news commentator, Marty remarked , must gain the ability to
be versatile—to adapt himself to a
variety of situations. During this
summer, for example, Marty was a
part of the WMBT team that covered the Shepton mine cave-in.
While working at this location ,
Marty felt he gained a great deal
of valuable experience in "on-tho
spot" radio broadcasting. Marty also appeared in the newsreels of the
Huntley-BrJnkley Report and CBS
Reports while he was broadcasting
from Shepton.

by Jennifer Smith
"What do you find between an
elephant's toes ? A slow-running
native." This joke can be said to
epitomize college humor: it's not
only an elephant joke; it's also a
sick elephant j oke. Sick j okes and
elephant j okes—as anyon e who
has ears already knows—are the
latest aberrations in humor.
Jokes Evolved
Sick j okes, of course, are the
earlier form. They evolved some
years ago and have been on the
scene ever since. An early form of
this species of j oke is, "What are
we having for supper, Mommy?
Shut up and get back in the oven!"
Riddle Form
Sick humor has undergone a
subtle change, however. A more
recent version is often in the form
of a riddle; for instance, "What's
green and lies in the grass ? A
dead Girl Scout." These j okes specialize in taking a crack at such
respected American institutions as
the Girl Scouts, Forest Rangers
and school buses, apparently with
the purpose of showing that they 're
not as sacred as they 're set up to
be.
WKBW and Elephants
The germinating force of the
elephant j okes seems to be WKBW ,
a radio station which sets as its
goal bedlam in one form or another. They regale their audience
with gems like "What's the difference between an elephant and Joey
Reynolds?" (heir apparent to the
throne of Dick Biondi.) Answer:
"two pounds." Reynolds is highly
vocal about taking credit for starting this epidemic of elephantitis;
he even tried to do the same for
the buffalo; he was conspicuously less successful in this endeavor.
These j okes become highly complex, as in the case of the flat-footed elephants. "Why do ducks have
flat feet ? From stomping out for-'
est fires. Why do elephants have
flat feet ? From stomping out burning du cks." The less said about
that the better.
Nonsense Joke
Another phase of modern humor
is the nonsense j oke, which of t en
becomes absolutely surrealistic.
While an elephant jok e usually has
a painfully obvious answer, this
type of j oke will have an ending
th at is nothing short of bizarre.
One of these—inspired by Heaven
knows what—goes; "Wh at is yellow, lives in the forest, and is very
dangerous ? A man-eating banana."
Another product of psychological
disorder is "What is purple and
puts out forest fires ? Smokey the
Grape."
Basis for Jokes
What is the fascination which
these jokes hold for adolescents ?
Their charm seems to lie in the
fact that they 're utterly unrealistic, which allows one to momentarily forget anything which happens to be annoyingly realistic. As
one elephant said to the other,
"Have you heard any good people
j okes?"

Highest Form of Expression
The newspaper and the radio ,
however, are not the only areas of
communication which attract Marty Bane. An English major, Bane
has great interest in one of the
highest forms of man 's expression
—poetry. Marty, editor of the
Olym pian , considers poetry to be
"the zenith of man 's expression. "
Modern trends in poetry, he feels,
are "Ginsbergian " in nature. Today 's pools are preoccupied with
the "posKitnlallc, dark side of life. "
They fail , in Bane 's opinion, to
capture "the boauty and laughter "
inherent in man 's existence. Nevertheless, Marty feels that men
should express their deepest feelings , and highest thoughts through
such means as the poem, the short
story, etc. "Tho Olympian , he Biated, is a fine medium in which BSC
students may share their literary
and artistic achievements with

others,"

Distances

"THE LIGHT WITHIN US"
\/

Shot — the word we had not dared
to hear
sped the electric distance from the
hot South
to our breathless Pennsylvania
pause like a pulse
stung with surprise. There, in our
darkened mouths,
it died. Distantly a light went out.
A long j ourney, the boy to the
green sea,
the green boy to a man. And seas
are m en:
O lad drowned in a sea of men,
the same sea
bore you once ; the distance you
swam then
with vigor, how many men"m u st
swim again ?

__

Is voice the wave that washes men
from men ?
Surely, only the heart's silence can
tell
the distance of the mind. Open your
eyes,
tell us th at on ce, before your Aves
dried,
once, once again you braved the
darkening skies
and found the long journ ey worth

Co-ed From Hawaii
Likes BSC Show

Without a modicum of doubt,
winter is here. The groans of students resound throughout the BSC
campus as they drag out their high traction snow shoes, their ultrainsulated underwear, and their
emergency iceberg kits. There is,
however, one individual in this collegiate community who actually
exhibited signs of glee as the first
snowflakes stealthily descended
upon BSC!
First Impressions
Leatrice Sunaoka, a native of
Hawaii, has seen her first snowfall.
Much to the disbelief of the many
veteran s of Pennsylvania snowstorms, Leatrice stated that she
wished "it would snow more" so
she could make a snowman. Although she might not be able to
create the desired snow sculpture,
Leatrice has already engaged in
the Ail-American winter sport—a
snowball fight. This Hawaiian coed reported that she made an icy
"bulls-eye " on the back of an unsuspecting BSC male. That's pretty good for a novice in this intricate art.
Aesthetic Beauty
Besides noting the opportunities
for pure enjoymen t offered by
snow, Leatrice was also impressed
by the aesthetic side of the meteorological phenomena. She was particularly impressed by the fragile,
picturesque boauty of the snow
which gracefully decorates the
evergreens and houses in Bloomsburg. A note of practicality, however, was detected in Leatrfce 's
voice when she glumly stated that
she did "have to buy boots."
"When you ore young you do a
lot of wishful thinking. When you
are old you do a lot of thought ful
wishing."
'Don 't, resent growing old. A groat
many are denied the privilege.
They say life, has but two blessings , the art of life and the love of

art.

Donna Van Pelt: Americans and
people all over the world have attempted to express their shock,
thei r grief , and their sympathy;
many only to find themselves at a
loss for words. But is this expression enough ; is not more required
of Americans than a mere statem ent of shock , grief , or sympathy ?
In the past days, we h a ve h eard
much about a permanent memorial to John Fitzgerald Kennedy ;
and perhaps Americans will realize
tha t , they can help erect such a
memorial by giving to the President of the United States the respect th at he deserves, regardless
of who he is or his political party.
With this respect for the President
there migh t also develop an underst anding and respect for all men,
regardless of race, color , creed, or
religion. If Americans can develop
such understanding and respect
for the President and all mankind
in their everyday lives and attit u des , hate will disappear from our
world , we will be truly civilized,
and there will be no reoccurrance
of the tr agedy of November 22,
1963.
Dr. Barbara J. L.. Shockley : The
tragedy is that no one knows exactly why Lee Harvey Oswald—if
he is the person who fired the fatal
shot—committed such a deed. If
he sought to abolish the executive
branch of the Government of the
United States of America, he did
not succeed. The office of the President of the USA "shall devolve on
the Vice' President" says Article
II , Section 1 (5) of the US Constitution. We can indeed be thankful
that we in the USA have a constitu tion which provides for the continuance of the office of the President even though the incumbent
be removed by fair and constitutional means or by means far from
f air and assuredly foul. BSC students and teachers can and must
assume leadership and responsibility for explaining effectively and
understandingly to others as well
as to ourselves what the American
form of government is and . how it
operates.
Gerald Howard : When an element of our society preaches violence, and is allowed by society to
survive and in some instances
flourish , I believe that it is time
for 1,he people to take action. We
can no longer put up with that
part of our populace that would
advocate the assassination of our
President. I believe that the greatest possible living memorial to John
F. Kennedy would be the.abolishing of that element of hate and
violence that exists today in the
United States.
Joan Stackliouse: The untimely
death of President Kennedy has
been the most tragic event so far
in my life. I j ust stop and try to
figure out what we Americans are
coming to. I think it will make
most*Americans aware of the hate
and violence in our American society, and most certainly we will
want to do something about it.

The assembly committee has
planned a brief Christmas program
following dinner on Monday evening, December 16.
Organ selections will be played
in Carver Auditorium from 7:45 to
8:00 at which time a processional
will be sung by the Choraleers and
the audience. The Christmas story
will be presented by the CGA officers , followed by selections by the
Madrigals.
The program will conclude with
a solo, and everyone is invited to
sing carols outside Waller Hall

combined assembly, "The People's
Role in Foreign Affairs." In his capacity as a member of the Library
of Congress, Dr. Olson has gained
extensive knowledge on diplomatic
relation.
He cited several examples both
pro and con as to how secret foreign affairs should be kept. Since
92 countries were represented at
the funeral of the late President
Kennedy, Dr. Olson felt that they
acknowledged him as their leader
and would be looking to the United
States in the future for leadership
and guidance.
For this reason he felt that foreign policy should be made a public issue, and that diplomatic affairs should be decided upon by the
people of our democratic society.
Others feel that a democratic foreign policy would fail because we
are too democratic. Dr. Olson expresses that if a democracy is to
survive the people must face the
issues before them.

Bette M. Dushanko: It seems a
shame that we do not realize how
much America, its democracy, and
freedom means to us until a tragedy, like President John F. Kenn edy 's assassination befalls us. As
students of BSC, we cannot comprehend the seriousness of our role
as teachers of the future leaders
of our great nation until we see
the expressions on the faces and
the tears in the eyes of our students when they learn of the death
of their beloved President. No
emotion is as great as that expressed by a child. The United
States must live on and although
we will never know what contribution John F. Kennedy could have
made, we know that he made the
supreme sacrifice—his life.
