The Teahous e of the August Moon Op ens Fourth Sp rin g Arts Festi val The Fourth Annual Spring Arts Festival opened last night with the Bloomsburg Players' presentation of John Patrick's comedy, "The Teahouse of the August Moon." Two more performances will be given at 8:15 pm tonight and tomorrow evening. This presentation initiates a week of effort to bring the students of BSC into closer contact with cultural opportunities on the campus. Each year, care is taken to represent all the facets of the fine arts so that no field is neglected. This year drama is being represented by two presentations, one in the form of "The Teahouse of the August Moon" as mentioned above, and the other in a drama lecture by Gerald Weales who will talk on "Arthur Miller and the Name Game" at 8:15 Wednesday evening. Presentations by Jack Bookbinder on Monday, at 8:15 pm, and on Tuesday at 2:00 will encompass the field of art. He will speak on "The Roots of Modern Art" and on "The Art of This World." There will also be an Exhibition of Paintings in the Lobby of Waller Hall by prominent artists from the collection of the Open Council Meeting Features Discussion of Griev ances wa* Approximately 200 BSC students attended the 13th regular meeting of College Council on Monday evening, April 12, in Science Hall. This was a regular scheduled mooting and was open to all students. Although some old business was discussed, the meeting was concerned mainly with grievances arising from the sit-in of April 9. President Thomas Miller opened the meeting with a short welcome and stated that all future meetings of College Council will be open to the student body. He stated that th ere will be no more "closed door" meetings, but instead open meetings, probably in Carver Hall if possible. He also laid the ground ru les f or discussion, stating that members of the student body may take part in discussions but only Council members would be allowed to make motions and to vote on issues. Old Business Miller then opened the meetin g to old business. Gil Gockley gave a report of the Big Name Enterta inment Committee , stat ing that a $1800 profit has been shown thi s year throu gh Big Name Entertain * ment. He made a motion that tickets for the Sprin g Concert of Dick Gr egory and the Four Lads be set at $2.00 general admission and $2,50 reserved seats. Discussion centered on what has been done with the pr ofits of previous years. It was explained that half of the mone y is placed In a general fund and the other half is placed in the Endowed Lecture Series Fund. The motion was passed. New Business The meetin g then turned to new business. Mike Fitzpatrick, speaking for the pledge class of Alpha Phi Omega, sought approval from Council for the fraternity to conduct an Ugliest Man on Campus contest. (Actually, he would be the most popular man on campus.) Each organization on campus would nominate a candidate and campaign for him. Voting would be by money —lj if for each vote. The winning candidate's sponsoring organization would receive all the money collected in votes on his behalf. The remainin g money would be divided —25% to the United Fund , and 75% to the fraternity 's scholarshi p fund . The winne r 's name would be engrave d on a permanent plaque and would be announced at the Spring Concert. Council approved the contest. Ray Gross then gave a report on the second election for CGA and class officers. He showed how the mach ines served as a d ouble check on voting, and stated that 1235 votes were cast. Husky Loun ge Profits It was announced that profits from the Husk y Lounge may be' used for inj uries to BSC athletes. A motion was passed that the President of the College release $5,000 to cover inj uries to Thomas Carr , freshman wrestler injured in a Februar y accident. The sub j ect of the marrin g of Dr. Andruss 's p ortrait was then brou ght up, Students were ur ged to sign the petition of apology for the action of "an immature individu al." New Librar y Policy Dean Hoch then announced that , because $10,000 worth of books disappeared from the librar y last year , a new policy of checking books will be initiated. Tables manned by members of the service organizations will be set up near the door to see if books leaving the library are properly checked out. Electrical equipment, basing detection on metal plates in the books will be installed. Sit-in The meeting then turned to a discussion of the sit-in held the previous weekend, and of the grievances growing out of it. President Miller remarked on the sit-in, saying that it was caused mainly by social restrictions on BSC students. He gave the opinion that students would have been better off to go inrou gn me proper cnann eis of complaint. He rebuked the student body for complaining among themselves but not voicing these complaints. He stated that both students and faculty are to blame if conditi ons are p oor. Dean Hoch's Statement Dean Hoch th en read a st atement in which he attem pted to point out the blame for the situation. He stated tha t the administration definitely was partl y to blame, but he concluded that Council was also at fault. He said that Council has not served it s pur p ose as a sounding board fpr student complaints , and there fore must share the blame for the breakdown of the orderly pro * cess of student government He said that Council has failed in its duties . Vice President Gil Gockley then stated that, although a number of grievances listed had not been brou ght before Council , the main reason for the demonstration was Master Schedule Chan ges Listed Newspaper Purpose Clarified: Journalistic Rules Important It has been brought tp the attention of the editorial board of the MAROON & GOLD that the BSC student body feels that this newspaper is not providing the college community with the complete news coverage that is deemed desirable. At this time we would like to clear the record and state again our purposes, policies, and our problems involved in keeping the college community informed of the happenings on this campus. Purposes According to our constitution, and we quote , the general aim of the MAROON & GOLD "...is to gather and edit all news pertaining to Bloomsburg State College which will be of interest and value to the students, faculty, and administration and to publish this news in accordance with the principles set forth in the Editorial Policy of the MAROON & GOLD. "The more specialized aim of the publication shall be to serve as a training laboratory which, as a part of the educational aims of the college, will offer students the opportunity in both editorial and business departments to gain some professional experience and above all to learn the meaning of that responsibility to society which is a fundamental part of newspaper publishing." Policies Our policies in the area of newspaper content are determined by the timeliness and importance to BSC students of the items under consideration during any given time. Some students feel that there is too much space devoted to such articles as civic music and spring arts programs. Yet why shouldn't the student' newspaper cover these items carefully? It is you the students who are paying for these events in the first place, and such events have both significance and interest for the campus community. The money to pay for such events comes from the Community Activities Budget which in turn is made up of your $50 Activities Fee. In connection with this subj ect of content the staff of the MAROON & GOLD analyzed the content of the newspaper and came up with the result that approximately two-thirds of the paper is composed of articles and news items that are directly or indirectly related and due to the efforts of our student government. (See individual article for results of survey.) In answer to the question of why this paper didn't cover the recent sit-in, we believe we have a justifiable answer. The paper wasn't scheduled to come out until after Easter vacation and, therefore, couldn't very well cover the event. Other items to consider here are the contract with the printer and our budget. The contract for printing says that copy must be in their hands Tuesday for a Friday publication. Thus we can't sit down and compose a paper and have it printed the next day. The second item, the budget, is Dust large enough to allow for 25 issues per year (possible 26 if we can keep expenses down). We try to schedule these issues over the year in order that we can provide the best possible coverage of all campus events. Until we get more money, this is the best coverage we can provide, i.e., 25 issues per year. Thus far, we have not said anything about censorship or ways to change the policy of the MAROON & GOLD. First let's consider censorship. This paper is not censored. The content of the paper is not read prior to publication by any member of the faculty or administration. However, we are subj ect to the rules of good j ournalistic taste and style and to the responsibilities to the administration and board of directors which every campus publication should assume. When there are questionable articles, the editor asks the adviser to read them and to O.K. them, or suggest changes. The fact is that all newspapers are ultimately subj ect to some kind of control. Reporters for the NEW YORK TIMES are not free to write stories suitable to the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS— and vice versa. A campus publication is in much the same relation to jthe administration and board of trustees as is a metropolitan daily to its owner and publishers. Without policy control a newspaper would fail. For changing the policy of the M&G the correct procedure is to go through College Council which in turn will discuss the problems with the paper's adviser and staff to resolve the problem. It is hoped that this article will clarify some of the questions that are prevalent within the student body. If there are still questions about the paper, we shall be more than happy to answer them. We realize that our purpose is to serve the college community, but we ask you to remember that we must abide by the rules of good j ournalism. Gamma Thet a Upsilon.
