Shapp ret urns Fay , Nespoli Frank Fay and Joe Nespoli, removed by Governor Shapp from their trustee positions on May 4, have been reinstated. In letter seat to the two men dated May 16, the Governor explained that the previous letters of dismissal were "inadvertently issued." Bob Hoagland, and Bessie .Ann Cicero receive d a check for $338.00 from Rick Heil, presiaenr of Beta Sigma Delta, for the newly established HELPLINE. Helpline receives money from frat Beta Sigma Delta social fraternity made a donation of $338.00 to the recently established HELPLINE operating downtown to try and serve the needs of the student body. Rick Heil, president of the 37 member group which chartered i n 1966 , said the fraternity "decided to combine a fund raising event with a service project to raise money for the Helpline1'. One of the events held was the popular Donkey Basketball Game. HELPLINE, in the words of the students involved , "wants to listen to anyone with a problem who wants to talk, or who needs information. The HELPLINE number is 784-8106. The coordinators and staff members are all BSC students who have completed a six week training session and are interested in clarifying problems and passing on pertinent information to help people avoid possible "crisis situations". The service is rigidly confidential. HELPLINE has professional backing and referrals agreements with doctors, drug centers, psycologists, and social workers. HELPLINE is in operation from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Again, the number is 784-8106, give 'em a call.

You see, after working our little fingers to the bone all year, reporting , writing and gener ally carrying on in the finest tradition of collegiate Journalism, we decided that it was time to have a little fun .

In His letter, the Governor explained that he was withdrawing his first letters and that the two men's terms would continue. "I am sorry for any inconvenience and embarrassment it may have caused you," Shapp concluded. A Shapp aide described the first letters as an "administrative mixup."

Coun cil approves '72-73 bud get Mike Meizinger The Community Activities Budget for 1972-73 was approved at a special College Council meeting held on Wednesday; May 10. The only changes made in the proposed budget were in regard to the Maroon and Gold and the Olympian. Dr. Griffis, chairman of the Committee, CGA Budget presented the budget to the entire Council, at the request of Mike Siptroth, president of CGA. Dr. Griffis noted that the committee had been working on the budget since March 2. The budget committee was praised by Dr. Griffis for the amount of time and effort that they put into the budget. He informed the members of Council that many people were called in and asked to defend their various requests. ATHLETICS The athletic and recreationportion of the budget was discussed at great length. The committee met with Dr. Bresett and some of the coaches on a number of occasions. The committee recommended that the budget be decreased $12,000 because it did not conform to the general budgetary policy set up. This was done within the department and Dr. Bresett returned with what the committee thought was a sound financial request. There was a minority feeling in the committee that the athletic budget should be withheld until the ad hoc comm ittee report of June, 1971 is implemented. The College Council * voted to approve the atliletic portion as presented, af ter a motion "to approve 50 per cent of the athletic bu dget an d give the Executive Committee of CQA the power to release the remainder" died because of a lack of a second. The total Athletic budget amounts to $80,948, with a large portion of the money going to new programs involving women. PUBLICATIONS When the budget was presented to College Council, there was no money allocated for the Olympian, the only literary magazine on campus. The majority of the budget committee felt that there was not enough interest to warrant the request. At the meeting, John Andris moved that the Olympian be allocated $900, because of the interest of the new editor and also because the Olympian will be coming out at an earlier date next year. This motion was approved. The Maroon and Gold was given an increase of $400, making their total budget $12,300. The reason for this increase is due to the $400 raise in estimated income, which comes from their advertising. The following is a summary of the 72-73 Community Activities Budget: The Athletic and Recreation portion totalled $80,948, with the football program receiving the largest sum , $15,337. Women's varsity sports were allocated a total of $6,421 to be divided up among basketball, tennis, andfield hockey. Also, the wrestling program was allocated $6,740, The Artist and Lecture Series was given the sum of $15,500, which will be shared between the Arts Council and the Civic Music Association. The section pertaining to College and Community Service is to receive $104,235. Under this category are . the campus publications , Big Name Entertainment , Freshman orientation, and various other items. In the approved budget, it is recommended tMat $12,050 be given to the various music organizations on campus. Also, in the-area of publicity, the amount of $4,075 was recommended. The various organizations on campus will receive a total of $50,359. Of this amount the Student Union was allocated $17,440. editorial I was going to write one of those big , long, year end summary, swan song , so long we'll see you again editorials . But after sitting in front of this damn typewriter for the better part of three nights , I' ve finally come to the conclusion that there wouldn 't be much point in it . We all know what 's gone on this year , we 've all formed our opinions , and besides , the weather is getting much too nice for deep thought . Unfortunately , however , I can 't just mar ch off into the sunset withou t getting a few final thoughts sff my chest (verbosit y, the plight of us writer- type people ) . You see, I' ve learned too much , foun d too many fr iends and made too many enemies while playing boy-editor of the M&G for a year to let them all go unnoticed . So without any further ado , I 'd just like to say... Dr . Nossen resigned about thre e weeks ago . The str eets on campus still haven ' t turned to gold . He did some bad things , there were times when he didn 't comprehend the meaning of the words discretion or tac t , and he overestimated the ability of his subor dinates to res ponsibly exercise the authori ty he gave them . But he also did a lot of good things ; things that the same people who cried for his skin this year should have been thanking him for . He was a good administrator , a lousy politician , and a man who deserves our criticism , but also our thanks . Mr. Russ Houk is a great wrestling coach . He has also almost single handedly ripped this college apart . In addition , he has built up a power base which threate ns to keep agitating until he has his way. He would do himself and the college well by spending his summer job hunting elsewhere . As far as I' m concerned , the Wilder Repor t stands . Mr. Hunsinger is. . .(to hell with it). As far as I' m concerned , the Wilder Report stands. And now , surprise of surprises , I' ve got a kind word for the Boar d of Trustees. . .but not too kind. I hav e come to conclude that the Board can indeed be viable. With some knowledge , and with some honest concern for the good of the college rather than the good of their friends , the trustees could function as the onl y independent thorn in the side of the giant state educational bureaucracy. They could serve as an independent board of review , handling any and all cases in which there is a chance that the multitude of review boards and rule s failed. It would take a hell of a lot of integrity on the part of the trustees (few of the presen t trustees would do) , but it could ha pp en . And now , a personal aside to Mr. Deake Porter , Mr . Ralph Smiley and Mr. John Williman. Thank you for your lett ers. They ' ve taught me mor e about human nature than I ever wanted to know. The preced ing paragra ph was the last wri tten by the editor of the 1971-72 Maroon and Gold. He no longe r exists. Only I' m left behind , and he 's starting to look like some fading memory to me alr eady. So before he gets too far away, I'd better pa y our debts. We thought The 1971-72 M&G was the best newspaper this campus ever had. And we want to thank all the people who loved it and hated it and read it. It was only a newspaper , and as long as you picked it up, read it , re acted to it , and threw it in the nearest trash can , we were hap py. And we want to thank all the people who aided and abetted us in getting it out . Our humble thanks to our office staff and reporters , to the people at the Danville News , to Mr . Trathen and to CGA. Well , the editor 's getting along now , and I guess I'd better be too. But before I go, I' ve got to turn to Bob Dylan for a few lines, because words fail me whenever I try to put things I feel in my heart down on paper. So "I wish for just one time , you could stand inside my shoes " . . .then maybe you'd know all the friends I 've made , all the th i ngs I' ve learned , and all the people who have been my teachers . The good profs , they know who they are , and all the friends I ' ve made whom I 'm afraid to list for fear I 'd miss someone ; but they too know who they are . And then if you could be, for a momen t , inside my head , you 'd know my staff. . .Frank Pizzol i, the best news editor this paper has ever had ; you 'd have heard Jody Dempsey 's grea t stories ; you'd have seen Mike Meizing er get madder than hell at the Trustees ; you 'd know how much Karen Keinard , Carol Kishbaugh , Nancy Van Pelt and Linda Ennis contributed . You 'd know how hard Dan Maresh worked . And then maybe you could understa nd how I feel about Joe Miklos , resident record reviewer and friend , and Bob Oliver , who walked in out of nowhere and did an unbelievably good job as Sports editor . You 'd know how much Tom Schofield and Denise Ross taught me about people, and you 'd know what it 's like to see Elaine Pongratz and Ellen Doyle smile . You 'd be able to appreci a te John Stugrin 's artwork as much as I do. You 'd know how much Mike Hock , dor Remsen and Bill Teit- sworth taught and encouraged me. And you 'd have the privilege of having Al Maurer for a teacher and friend . You 'd understand what a really great man Mr. Ken Hoffman is. You could understand and be grateful to Sue Sprague for everything she 's done tor me , and finally , you could have your own personal hew>, friend , and yes , brother , in Terry Blass. If you could stand inside my shoes, you 'd be very happy. Well , I guess I 'll be going too. So Thank You friends. Thank You ladies and gentleman of the audience.

In other words , folks , I am leaving . I came here three years ago wanting to be either Lenn y Bruc e or Bob Dylan . I leave her e wanting to be left alone . I came here when everyone was all agog with peace, love, flowers , and a smooth -talking liberal college President named Bobby Nossen . It is no mean coincidence that the number one fave gear rave grou p at the time was one called Blind Faith. I leave here as everyone seems all but lobotomized. I want to get out before the rot really sets in. Maybe I' m overly pessimistic. But I 've seen this school sink from a mediocre reputation to a downright shabb y one . I 've seen too many professors , " tea chers " they call themselves , who don ' t even like kids. I 'm disgusted by " teachers " who like to yell down girls for the fun of it , and I 'm disgusted by "te ach ers " who like to look up and down girls for the fun of it.

Some gains were made artistically, but not much new , different or thoroughly exci ting has happened in the world of Rock . James Taylor and those of his ilk dom inated the charts , and soon people got fed up with being cried at . Fortunately, Cat Stevens made some very pleasant and interesting * pseudo folk . Nothing outstanding, but he was interesting and soft . America came , and probably has left , as one-shot artists . The Who and the Grateful Dead came on with some good, footstompin ' rock and made a splash . Everything else came out as an amalgamation fuzz ad crunch . Humble Pie employed it quite effectively , Grand Funk conti nued to abu se it , and Led Zeppelin learned tha t smashing can result in good rock , if a little music is add ed and blended.

In other words , I am bored by educat ion as prac ticed at Bloomsburg Stat e College . I can ' t help it . I 've seen people get through the English pro gram up here without ever learn ing how to write a cogent sentence . I' ve seen guys who couldn 't even concentrate long enough to read the sex parts in "Dr. No " get teachin g jobs in Creative Writing . I ' ve sat and waited for the intelligentsia to do something (read : speak out ) for three years , only to see it finally happen when the President is gone and no one It' s the people here who were interested in what makes me schtick that 1 want to tha nk (the rest can skip this part ). There 's Al, for getting me into this ; Myrr for a good story ; Dick Savage for patience ; Ferdie for the good advice . There 's Mr. Hoffman , who , let' s not be frank (pun .) , is the best thing that ever happened to the M&G , and one of the two men I've known worthy of the title " teacher ." There 's Sue , who 's since found better ways of getting her kicks , and Snod, for getting me through some roug h ones. There 's Joe , who has a good nose for bullshit and Muffinburgers , and Sherm ju st because I know he 's reading this . And of course there 's Johann a . Last but not lost is Jim . I never told anybody before , but Jim is really my brother. So, I am getting out . At the very least you 've seen my last breath as feature editor . I might write more from afar , I could stick around a while for my friends . Things aren 't sure . All I know is, there 's a guy. by the name of Theodore Sturgeon who said he's waiting to see my name in print . And don 't you worry . I 'm prepared for the worst . Just in case nothin g works out , I' ve put in an application for a really great-sounding job. As a porter in. Berwick . So, if ya ever want to look me up, I 'll be around , somewhere. I' m elusive, but easy to find . My friends always know where I am. ( Some things remain constant. ) You can be sure I'll have changed somewhat , but there still won 't be anything important enough for me to take completely seriously .

Up ( Up, and Aga inst the Wall P ART II by Blass , In answer to the oft-(twice) asked quest ion, whatever happened to the second half of Blass 's article on relevancy and comic books? : I had it all ready in my head and then they up and cancelled "Green Lantern " on me. But that' s getting ahead of my story. When we last saw Green Lantern , he had just been prodded into social awareness by a ghetto-dweller who asked him why he wor ked for the blue skins , the orange skins ,, but never the black skins. Green Lantern was then enlisted by the more worldly Green Arrow in a search Jor America...an d the world of comic books hasn 't been the same since. In the months that followed , Green La ntern and Green Arrow ran up again st archvillians of a new breed , evil men who wor e not long under wear but smiles , corrupt slumlord s , hardhead hardhats , bigots , politicians , and other kin ds of inhuman humanity . Why, it even turned out tha t the Guardians of the Universe , when irked , could put on a trial just as ludicrous as those held in Chicago and Harrisburg . For a comic book , "Green Lante rn " looked awfully believable. No wonder...the scriptor , Denny O'Neil , wrote credible dialogue. Sure , it was simplistic , far too dire ct to be used in anythi ng BUT a comic—but it was grea t comic book dialogue. And whatever O'Neil lacked , artist Neal Adams possessed . Adams , barel y out of his teens and almost universally recognized as the best artist in his field, went to no little pains to make the strip look authentic— when the script called for a ghetto scene, Adams went out to the neares t neighborhood ghetto , spent days snapping pictures and then drawing from them. Yes, O' Neil and Adams were quite a team ,..no wonder the competition started getting worried... Of c our se it all could have been coincidental ...a fter all , Marvel had been on top of the creativ e comics business for high unto ten years. And sales at Marvel were going well , despite the loss of artist Jack Kirby , who left the Stan Lee bull pen in search of more money at the DC corral. Whatever , Marvel started swinging as they hadn 't since Spider-Man first came onto the scene. Suddenly Captain A mer i ca , s taunch def ender of middle-class values and the A mer i can cur d, took on The F alcon , a black man , as a permanen t partner. The Black Widow , Marvel' s res ident lady in-leather , s tar t ed doing more and more undress ing scenes in which more and more undressed was seen. Iron Man star ted to get trouble from youthful protestors who disa greed w it h his al t er ego ' s line of work : i nventing and manufacturin g new wea pons for the militar y-industrial complex . Sub-Mariner started getting all hot and bo t hered by the pollutants mankind started dum ping on him and his under sea kingdom. And yet , s o mewhere , somehow , something was missing... Tha t missing something showed up in May of 1971 , with the 96th issue of "The Amazing Spider-Man. " Nothing looked much different at first glance , there was Spidey crawling up the usual wall to get away from the usual befuddled police. At second glance , t he blurbs began to look , uh , WEIRD-righ t in between "A Job for Peter Parker! " and "The Green Goblin Returns ' ." was "The Last Fata l Trip!" and "Mary Jane Knocks 'Em Dead!" At third glance even -the most casual of comic book readers couldn 't hel p but notice—absen t from the cover was that faithful righthand corner watchtower , the seal of approval from the Com ics Code Authori ty... Marvel was taking a chance , a big one , one that violated virtually the last (and stronges t? ) taboos—the one prohibitin g mention of danger ous drugs , their use and abuse . Publishin g a comic mentionin g meTe PILLS was tantamou nt to losing license—Marvel did it anyway, and Spidey fought the pillpushers for an epic non-sea l three issues. A rev olution was aborning, with or without the approval of a "self-censori ng " board... the question was, how would tha t board reac t? Mon ths passed . Spidey got his seal back on issue No. 99, and things looked norma l on the outsides. But on the insides...comics were changing... Superman lost his vulernability to Kryptonite , Robin went to college, Wonder Woman lost her original hotpants and her Amazon superpowers and went into a more modern Women's Lip-Emma Peel-t ype bondage , Harlan Ellison ( science fiction 's most honored writer ) did a script for the Incredible Hulk , Kirby started a Fourth Worl d at least as involved as Tolkien...things were changing , some "before Green La ntern 's crisis , some after...but the word got around , and the ball was rolling. September of 1971 the ball; bounced. Sky-high. Greens ' Lantern and Arrow , fresh out oi featurin g overadventures populated planets , W omen 's Lib ' monsters , plastic people , and the dreaded Spiro Agnew , now faced an even deadlier foe than the one Spidey brought down in 96-98— heroin. GL No. 85 s cover blazoned with heads , with blurbs like "The Shocking Truth About Dr ugs!" and "DC attacks youth' s greatest problem... drugs!" To one side stood Lantern , pointing, saying "You alwa ys have all the answers , Green Arrow ! Well what' s your answer to that—?" In the foreground , a boy named speedy , married to the needle and the spoon, clu tched his arm . To the right , G reen Arro w , shocked , his only answer a stricken "M y ward is a JUNKIE!" And , in the upper right corner , t he answ er , the compromise , the sign of hope— the Code of Approval. The s t or y was called "Snowbir ds Don 't Fly. " The firs t pi ece of di alo g ue was a frighten ed junkie kid saying "Man , I' m scared spitless ." May be he was , but Denny O'Neil wasn 't,..the story was concluded i n t he nex t issue , entitled "They Say It'll Kill Me...But They Won 't Say When!" The second part not onl y had t he App roval , it also included filthy rich pushers , dea t h by overdose , and hones t moral izing, all of which earned a congratulatory message from John Linds ay. History had been challenge d, and made. And wouldn 't you know , after winning all sor ts of awards , breakin g dow n enough barriers t o ge t the C ode rev ised . Green Lantern got cancelled . The last issue, No . 89. has Green Lantern turning his ring on a nine-million dollar supersoni c aircraft and blowing it up. His final comment before finishing into literar y limbo ? "Send me a bill. " No , it wasn 't the Comics Code that killed the mag. And it wasn 't rednecks outraged by issue No. 87. whic h featured a BLACK Lantern—alth ough Gree n distributors south of the MasonDixon hurt sales drastically by refusing to stock the mag. Wha t happened was—Ne al Adams refused to make the deadlines , so the series had to be killed. But the influence lives oh... • But not at DC. DC is run by old men , men who have been there since the '30' s. You can tell by the way everybod y in the DC mags says "Right on" and "Outta sight. " Without Green Lanter n, and excludin g the three Kirby mags , DC is hurting both itself an d its readers. Not so with Ma rvel. In the last has Ma rvel few months unleas h ed al l sor t s of new goodies. Let' s see, t here was t he Kree vs. Skru ll War in "The Aven gers ," a galaxy-spanning s t or y wh ich las t ed at leas t seven issues , and last month' s H arlan Ellison adapti on. There was the return o! Dr. Strange , who's al ways chan ging sides (and artists ). Thor is getting closer and closer to Norse mythology , and topping the originals. The swords and sorcer y nuts have Robert E. Howard' s K i ng K ull again , and Conan the Barbarian has re turned to a monthly basis. Warlock is Rettin g his own mag now , proving that any science fiction comic whose six-monthold premiere is alread y worth $5 . 00 can 't (and won 't ) be ignored. The horror fans , now free of the E.C. inspired Comics Code, have their own "Tomb of Dracula " and "Were wolf by Night. " And there is finally confirmation of the rumor I first heard at the Lunacon—Mar vel is going to do DC's new Edgar Rice Burroughs kick one better by introducing Doc Savage to comics. All of which shows , Marvel has the youngest and most talented wri ters and artists , and they take risks , do new things. And when Mar vel' s people REALLY get relevant . God knows what will happen...you see. already Green Lantern ' s p lace has b een somewha t taken by Marvel 's "Luke Cage. Here for Hire. " You see. whereas Cap tain America ' s buddy is black , he' s also named Tom. and he ' s a s oc i al worker...not to mention tha t whenever trouble erup ts in the ghetto Cap and the Falcon find out it was all started by the Red Skull, an ex-Nazi . Luke Cage is a black man w ho esca pes f rom a prison (he was framed ) by means of a newly acquired superpowe r, barely hinted at in the first editor s ' not e : O ver t he course of a long year we ' ve all done a lot of work and experienced a lot of things . We've all helped bring the M&G t o a point where it is serv ing t he student body as a real news paper instead of as a bulletin board. And all of t ha t is t hanks to one guy : Jim Sachetti. Being Editor -in-chief of the M&G is no fun job. take our word for it. It ' s a lo t of work and swea t wi thout much thanks . So any t hing you get out of being an ed it or is j us t t he p ersonal satisfaction that you ' ve done a job, and done it to the best of your abili ty. Well, Jim must have a lot of personal satisfa ction , because he ' s damn veil done his best. Jim has the good or bad (i t' s all a ma tter of perso nal opinion ) charac ter trait of being able to see both fides of any given situation. Whethe r he agrees with you or no t . he 'll listen to you and let you try to change his mind. Oh. and if you make a good point , he 'll give you credi t for it . A nd that ' s wha t he' s t ried t o do all year. Show both sides . And when he gave people hell, he gave it to even-body. He has a lot of personal in t egri ty as f ar as giv ing a guy an even brea k is concerned . Oh. and he's got a lot of balls, too . He'd have to have them In order to have put up with all that he has t his year. Well, this could go on forever . so. to make things short , and to cut out the schmaltz , we. the editorial staff of the Maroon and Gold, want it to go on record that we think Jim Sachetti was a damn good editor — the best the M&G ever had. And we 'd like to tha nk him for letting us work wi th him. That 's all. The editorial staff . minus jim sachetti issue...he is his own man . he has no Capt ain America or Green Lantern to steal all his glory. And somewhere out in comic book land are rumor s of a stri p called "Blackman " ... What does all this mean? Can comics, which thriv e on fantasies of power , also nurture on relevancy , indeed litera cy? Can they educate the young they reach on thing s like* drugs and pollution , does it do any good when kids read that Superman is "streak ing thro ugh the smogridden skies"? For over thirty years comics were regarded as subliterate JUN K—what happen s if elementary teachers use comics to tea ch , to instill interest? Will comics ever be the same ?... Probably not. Green Lantern has left his mark. Young blood is breaking in! and comics will be an even better place for kids to learn how to read and enjoy it. That ' s how I started , and "I' ve rea d them all th e way through the Fifties anil into the Seventies , from the reign of stupidity to the dawn of relevan ce...

Houk , Hunsinger , Nossen — all you guys up against the wall. To hell with CGA. Get rid of Buckingham. Liberate the Pergola . Smiley and WilUman can 't write. Power to the Porter . Death to all those who whimper and cry . BSC. The Morning Press is censored. Peace. Love . Joy . Flowers . Aach , Blecch , Yecch. jlm sachetti Congratulations , Wrestlers ! Once again you 've shown great tea m spirit in an all-out effort to bring BSC to the very top . And this time it was the top of the top, to say the least . When the Bloomsburg boys take the NCA A title , you know that they 're doing somethin g ri ght. We all know wha t a tough season its been , and the long hard struggle tne Husk y matmen have been put through . A perfect allwin, no loss record is something to be pr oud of. But above all, the boys deserve p ra ise and commendat ion for their ab ility to face the* res igna tion of the ir coach , and yet go on alone , all t he way to the top. And I guess we all owe a special thanks to Russ Houk , 'cause even though we disagree w ith his politics, he did a damn good j ob of training those boys to perfection ! A special thanks to Shor ty Hit chock , who acted as student coach for the boys t his season , while Russ was out on the politica l front. And ano ther t hanks t o Mr. H inkle for ac ti ng as financial mana ger f or the season . All you fans who sa t in t he stands t hrou ghou t the season know wha t the boy s went thr ough in their diligent f igh t to pro t ect the proud name of the BSC Huskies. So I take the privilege of speakin g for a ll of Bloomsbur g in congra t ula ti ng our men in the ir man y trials and tribulations. And a little something special for our Associate Vice-President for Campus Services , El ton H uns inger , who we know wa s const an tly at t he boys' side, giving them pep talks and advice. We know he never missed a match . Once again , men , congra tulations on an unbelievable season ! sue spr ague THE GREAT BSC EXAMINATION AND QUIZ Despite the fact that a recently passed Senate policy expressl y, strictly and unconditionally forbids , under penalty of death , the administ ration of tests the week before finals, we have decided to flagrantly and publicly v iolate this eminent and f ine rule. Besides, 50 (coun t 'em) facult y members have courageously defied it already . So we forthwith and hereb y present , for your consideration and amusement , the GREAT BSC EXAMINATION AND SNAP QUIZ. No consultation with your neighbor. Don ' t start until instr ucted to do so. 1.

If you laid all the letters that Deake Porter submitted to the Fif th Co lumn by Mikloss To Thaddeus Fish : "You don 't love me no more than I love you if you ever did and that' s saying a lot about red haired Zan gorian women ." Things ain 't exactly on the up and up. I' m gettin ' tired of writing with a slant. Dylan didn 't say it, nor did Denny O'Neil. That doesn 't matter cuz Ca ptain America doesn 't need clothin g shields. Ah, a sweaty prob lem. They 're all your friends and you love 'em each and every one. That' s why you gotta cast lines like everything I' ve ever written. My purpose in life is ta shut people up, or down , especially at parties. See bein ' feature editor Andri s ( continued from page twelve ) Comptroller and Business Manager — Deake Porter — an M.A. in economics from Yale, why not? Director of Admissions — Dan Skok — he knows more about it than anyone else. In a statement just released , President Andris the Second said, "In making these appointments , I fully understand mat approval must come from the Senate of Bloomsburg State College. I have complete faith in President Reveremd Professor Doctor William L. Carlow of the Senate a nd the esteemed members of that body, the brother s of S.O.B., that my appointments will receive their unqualified endorsement. " The president' s special three person advisory committee (Professor Doctor Hans Karl Gunther , Tom Beveridge , and Bill Hess) have rec ommende d that all persons previousl y filling these positions "should hold only faculty teaching positions and should not hold any administrative posts. If this is not possible...they should resign as soon as possible." F.T.W. ain 't easy, so I gotta keep a stock pile of bad puns. They make good conversation stoppers. I only use them every other word...all this groaning is gettin ' to me. Gotta find a RE AL conversation stopper . Let' s see... Hey , you guys ! Ever wonder why I write about Waffies? Well, it' s to start cheezy rumors and spread them around. •Didn't work . These groans are almost as bad as the conversation . All they 're talkin ' about is politics anyway, and if I don 't like it , it's lousy conversation. Try again. What' s the latest in the Papal paternity suit? Oh, you're all atheists and you don't care... Who do you think is sexier , Carole King or Mark Farner? (I wonder who that funny lookin' guy in the corner who just pursed his lips is?) No, no I don't wanna see the mahvelus pehrshawn rugs in your simply too much apartment. Well, I ain 't never gonna ever not stop this conversation. So, in the tr ue tradition of a Filth Column I'll ramble ion for a while about some things that are thoroughl y unrelated to anything I' ve written. Yeah , I love 'em each and every one. That doesn't mean I have to put their stuff on MY page . Bla ! sssssssss! All these people buggin ' me. It ain't my fault. I mean I spend three years trying to put THAT word in my column and it' s a hard fought battle . Now some schmuch tries to print it every other issue. It conies with the quat , so to speak . Now I could drag this schtick out even if wood doesn 't stretch , but my co-editor keeps yellin' about how my article is too long. Looks 'bout normal size to me. Maybe he's trying to flatter me. I have no desire to pancake my talent. After all, I am the best editor even if I can't do headlines... Bob Dylan . So it doesn 't madder that I love 'em each and every one. Spiro T. Angry makes sure of that. It makes me want to go to Ire-land. What , all this has to do with conversa tion stoppers gets me? I'll unplu g it. Some prize , even in the winner months... editor end to end , they would stretch : a) 50 inches b) 100 inches c) over 150 inches d) tho truth • 4.

Ass't Vice Presid ent for B p ^-^ty i Within our sophistica ted, well mannered society there are persons of vulgar personality, indecent behavior and indelicate manner . Within this group of ignoran t individuals lies a very selective group of degenerate persons that "belley-up " every chance they get. These persons are undoub t edly the ultimate example of laxity in our social structures r igidity towards t he gross person. Seldom do you find one of these societal swines in jail. Rarely do you find one re pr imanded f or h is blurts against society. These devourin g persons care noth ing about time , place or circums tance , if they f eel in the mood to "bell y-up, " they do just that and usually with a disgusting air in their manner isms when doing it. These unintelligent sicklings of soc iet y are usually hard to distinguish from t he more learned , mannered ma jorit y, but they do have a few distinguishin g characterist ics : firs tly , the y are loud and gross in p ubl i c ; secondly, one gets the impression that they are filled with nothing but hot air ; and third ly, these hoggish p eons never excuse themselves. to "belly-up" m entireties ana places of business ; to blurt in such loud , unmannered gross f ash i ons ; t o do these things , and more , and walk awa y with a smile of pride from ear to ear is the height of social laxit y and should be remedied immediatel y. These persons should be fined, jailed and confined in such quarters as their manneris ms deserve.

MAY 19, 1972 Bored of the Trustees -or seven to nine angry men by John Dempsey and Frank Pizzoli Once upon a time , in the gloomy land of Bloomsburg, there existed seven to nine angry members of the Bored of the Trustees. They had come ages and ages ago , long before recorded time, from a shadowy, misty land about 150 due southwest on Route 81, known as the burg of HARRIS . After a short time these seven to nine angry men made a home in the burg of . Bloom , each taking a nonpolitical job that gave them strange and mysterious powers in the area of politics. These seven to nine angry men looked upon their situation and their powers , and they saw that it was good , and they prospered. But then , when the sky was black and the wind was howling , a stranger came to town , a stranger who had "a lean and hun gr y look" about him, and who was BALD, and who went by the name of R obert J . N ossen. This st ran ger , called "N ossen " by his f r iends , was named Pres ident of the Ins ti tut ion t ha t the seven t o nine angr y men ruled over , k now n as Bloomsbur g St ate College, and the seven to nine an gr y men became even an gr ier. I t was soon to be real ized tha t, as the nat ives say, hell ha t h no fury like that of seven to nine angry men scorned. Tension bu ilt in this quite lit tle burg unt il even strong men feared to enter the conf ines of this institution and children , cats , and dogs dared not walk the streets alone. Libations were offered to the gods ever y evening at a local tavern that was called "Rocks " in the hope that peace would once again return to the quit e li ttle burg . Trag ically , however , this man known as "Nossen " found little favor with two of the knights of the Bored of the Tr ustees, knights known as Russell Houk , the hard to park their cars. These seven to nine angry men soon f ound themselves fi ghtin g a mongst themselves over bat tle tactics while the man known as "Nossen " retreated to his mighty fortress at 451 Buckalew Place and suffered through the battle silently, using only his mighty memos, delivered by bis trus ty page , Marilyn Muelholf , The Secretary, as his weapons. After a long time , the great white God in the burg of Harris , who was more or less responsible for this "whole goddamn mess," as the natives say, sent three of his most trustworthy knights, known as The Businessmen, to set the sun shining over them ole' cotton fields of Bloomsburg once more. The Businessmen looked at the situation and saw that it was not so good, and wrote a report which suggested that Russell H ouk, The Unbel ievabl y Good, Attila the Hunsinger , and Nossen, get t he hell out of Dodge, as the natives say. This re port hit the seven or nine angr y members of the Bored of the Trus tees like the Edsel hit DeBuke , Montana , and had the ef f ec t of a fl y speck on an elephant' s ass, as the nat ives say . The man known as Nossen realized that the time had come to fade back to the land from whence he came , which no one was really sure about in the . first place , and resigned. The seven to nine angr y men of the Bored of the Trustees did not agree with the suggest ions of the B usinessmen , however , and fought it wit h ever y ounce of their strength. The mighty God in the burg of Harris , Milton , the Marvelous , known to his friends as Uncle Milty, was not pleased. In fact , he was quite pissed, as the natives say, and took out his wrath on two of the seven to nine angry men , the two known as Frank Fay , The Awfully Silent, and Joe Nespoli, The Jewel , collectively known as The Not So - Well - Liked Knights. Milton 's mighty voice ran g out in anger and he threatened to banish the seven and - or nine members of the Bored of the Trustees back to where they whence came , which no one is too sure of, and the seven and - or. nine angry men stiffled themselves for about a week. once again , peace ruled over Unbelievabl y Good, and Attila the Hunsinger , and let it be known far and wide that he had found displeas ure with them. Soon , to use a folklore expression of the natives , the shit hit the fan and havoc was wrecked on the students , the town , and all living objects within a ra dius of ten to twenty miles. The battle stretched on and on. and the natives who speak of it the small burg of Bloom and the now refer to it as the awesome children , cats , and dogs took to "Three Year 's War. " As the war the streets once more. And , as the stretched on, the bodies of fallen natives have been known to say soldiers were littering the on occasion all' s well that ends streets , and the natives found it well.
