Photo by Martin 1 Letters To the Editor Dr. John Pittenger , ' Pennsylvania Secretary of Education , has promi sed the Committee to trv everv way available to get the NCAA' s "censure ", probation ," and report on BSC, vacated.

Dr. Josep h T. Skehan Spokesman for the Committee of Concerned Americans Record Review A Lightning Rod by Joe Miklos All Together Now...Argen t Some people like to boogie and stomp no matter how bad the music is. And some people like music that is technically good, and continue to like it despite the fact that it has absolut ely no punch or driv e. In either case the average listener usually runs with ears covered to greener pastures . With either extreme there is nothin g to make the music memorable. The point is, there are some bands that can combine techniq ue and power with wondrous skill and Argent is one of these. The group derives its name from keyboard man Rod Argent , formerly lead singer with the Zombies . Rod Argent is heavily influenced by the classics but can rock ; a promising sign having been that since their inception Argent has steadily gott en heavier and heavier. All Together Now is undoubtedl y their heaviest effort to date. By now just about everybody has heard the hit "Hol d Your Hea d Up. " The single is cut down somewhat , but has all the power of the longer album version. It' s a shame t hat some of Rod Argent' s organic gymnastics were cut out . The song sets the mood for the rest of the album. Notable is the song "Tragedy. " It' s a motown ra veup of the sort t he Yardb irds made standard with English heavy metal bands. (To give you an idea , Argent wrote "Liar " , la t er made popular in a weak cover version by Three Dog Night. ) "He 's a Dynamo " and " Kee p On Rollin '" are ot her cu t s of t h is genre . The res t of the album is class ically orien ted in the manner of Keith Emerson and com pany, but without the pretentiousness . The "Pure Love " quartet is a Bach inspired long cut tha t degenerates to a crunch y blooze and later returns to the original theme , albeit crunch intact. "I Am The Dance of Ages " could very well be from ELP 's Tarkus , except that it Isn 't overdrawn or aspirin g to be something it isn 't. Argen t simply cuts the theatricali ty and keeps things balanced. Now despite my compariso ns , Argent is a highl y origina l band. Several thin gs make this so, one being Rod Ar gent' s voice , which is both disti nctive and carries a wide range. Another fact or is the guitar work of Russ Ballard , who generally keeps things simple but knows how to use power and complexity at just the right times . The rh ythm section is also talented and subdued , saving exp loration for the optimum moment , and generally keeping the background solid . Much as the liner notes deny it , Ar gent is built ar ound Rod Argent. He is the star of the show , but he mana ges to keep things balanced , forcin g the rest of the band to push their skills to the limit. Rod Argent is the idea man , the band is a whole with no one member oversteppin g his bounds. For once a classic rock fusion works well withou t the rock part suffering. As a matter of fact , this time the classical takes a relentless beating. The postBeatle Zombie roots win out. Mos t of the songs were written by Rod Argent in collaboration with producer (also ex-Zombie ) Chris White. Russ Ballard pens a few of which "Tragedy " is the most outstanding. The production itself is up to par with the rest of t he al bum. Argent compounds things for those who like to boogie and those who like to hear good musicians get it on. That' s wha t good rock has alwa ys been about. Hands of Ruth In the Ruth Hutton Ancker Reprospective Exhibition in the Haas Center for the Arts at Bloomsburg State College , an exhibit that attracts much attention and raises many questions is the photograph of a sculpture of two hands , a man 's and a woman 's. It is identified only as "Hands ", commissioned by Mrs . M. Belmon t VerStandig for eventual casting in silver . "Tha t was a rather odd experience , " commented the Bloomsburg native who has become an internationally known sculptor. "Mrs. VerStandig, president of Wellington Jewels , a coast-to-coast chain of stores selling what she calls 'counterfeit diamonds ', has been a friend of ours for years. "One day she told me of meeting an old gypsy woman in Granada , Spain. This woman told her about a custom that she said had been handed down in her tribe since before the Christian era . Part of the tr ibe 's marriage ceremony consisted of presenting the couple with a candle holder ot interlocked hands , on the base of which was inscribed "Once and Forever " . If the couple should ever quarrel , they admonished not to engage in a verbal battle , but to light the candles and sit quietly, thinking things over , until they burned d6wn. This way, the legend held , they could resolve their differences without acrimony . "Mrs. VerStandig asked me to create such a candle holder for her. She said that she would have it cast in silver and sell reproductio ns , along with a scroll ( going to want it for silver casting. "No , as far as I know , nothing more has been done about that project. I sculpted the hands and somebody wrote out the legend . It was an interestin g experience and I think that the whole idea of the candle holder has psychological merit" , said Mrs. Ancker . What To Do By Donald G. Enz The school yea r has begun . The students are happy and textbooks are again sitting quietly on the shelf waiting to be read the night before an exam. But is everything really in order among the students? Some students , mostly freshmen , have already decided to look for another school . To me this seems a shame because they undoubtedly haven 't given BSC a chance to prove itself. Perha ps they were disillusioned by the catalog , orientation or just the drea m of college life as opposed to highschool. But whatever the cause of their disgust , they want out. Unfortunately , they are forgetting common sense which sh ould t ell them th a t even t hou gh BSC has a lot to be desired , other schools are in the same condition. It is to these students tha t I recommend t hey give BSC at least a chance to show what it is. I'll agree that BSC is a horrib le place at t imes , but it is mostly the students faul t for makin g it so.

I did , and had three plaster casts made , two of which I gave to Mrs . VerStandig. But these were stolen from her office, so mine is the only casting available. I didn 't put it in the show because plaster is ver y fragile , and sooner or later I know that Mrs . VerStandig is ______^_ ._ J- _ organizations of limited versatility and social assimilation . The students stagnate themselves in front of a dormitory television set or gather in a dorm room and complain because they don 't get a date for Saturday night. Well student , if you don 't expose yourself you won 't meet anyone. And hidin g behind a shield of dormitory walls and social clubs isn't going to help your attitude toward the school . You're blaming your disgust in your habits upon the school which isn't at fault. An argument against my statements is tha t there isn't anything to do; tha t this campus is a bore and the students are clique-ish and snobs. Well , the Volunteers Needed Do you have excess energ y t ha t you want to put to good use? Then being a volunteer work er hel pi ng t he men tall y ill patien ts a t the Danville State Hos pi tal is the th ing t o do. V olunteer workers are an essen ti al part of the t reatment pro gram because of the serv ices t hey perform for t he pa t ients and also because they help to bring the commun i ty in closer contact - students are more than intelligent enough to think of things to do; it isn 't up to the school to fill your work and leisure hours both . And there are cliques and snobs , we're all that way to some degree , but if you want to meet people get out and say hello. Another evident problem is the ratio of women to men . It' s grea t to be a guy because you have your choice of any type of girl you want , but what the admissions office fails to cope with is what happens with the girls withou t dates . Th is weekend I saw a number of groups of three to five girls (continued on page four ) with the operation of the institution. Ther e are man y varied serv ices volunteers can perform and because of that the hospital is hoping to recruit students of Bloomsburg State College .

Red Raiders Dump Huskies in Grid Opener The BSC Husky Football team made the long haul to Ship- pensbur g State College Satur day to play in the Red Raiders new $700,000 football complex , only to be trea ted to "unhostmanship '' — they handed the Huskies the loss. The Huskies , sluggish throughout the first half , were hit hardest by the Raider frosh—as John Seigle, a frosh back sped to a ground total of 104 yards , and three TD 's, while another freshman , Rick Moore added the extra points . 46, Husky QB J oe Geiger pitched out high to run ning back George Gruber .

Again the Hu skies kept to the ground with Geiger running the offense in the wishbone formation near midf ield , on second BSC received the openin g kickoff and was moving well on the ground until , when on the SSC down , he runs into trouble and makes a risky pitch which , when fina lly ran down, amoun ted to a 16 yard loss. Line Welles had to punt , and after some midfield handlin g by both teams , SSC scores again . The Huskies seemed nervous through out the first half, which might explain the mistakes on ferent Husk y team in the second half — same players , but they played different. Grub er carried the brunt of this halves Husky attack , gaining over 90 of his 110 yard total , as well as scoring a touchdown .
