All interested members of the campus are urged to attend . No polls on campus At a meeting held September 12, the County Commissioners refused a proposal to divide the 3rd voting ward of Bloomsburg an d to set up a vot ing place on campus. Mr. Richard Walton , Chairman of the County Commissioners, submitted the proposal with the rationale that the 3rd ward would have difficulty in handling the large numbers of voters. Presently , the num ber of voters in the 3rd ward is 956. Mr. j onn creasy, ana Mr. can C anouse , also county commissioners, voted against the proposal because they stated that there are larger wards in the county that have not been divided into districts. Another reason for the refusal , was the short amount of time available to initiate this new progr am. In a statement , Mr. John Creasy said that the idea is not dead and will be considered in the future.

I think, to begin with, the whole NCAA matter is under advisement which means that we are thinking about it in terms of its implications. A number of years ago this institutiondecidedto abide by the rules of the NCAA. The NCAA has made a jud gement on how we have responded in terms of following their rules and regulations, regulations that were established by the NCAA. They weren't rules that were established by the basic institution. So this is basically how I've come to look at the whole problem of the NCAA.

"At this point I really can't say. There are a num ber of f actors in terms of what you do when you open an investigation. The whole process took some 11 months to evolve. If you open up an investigat ion , do you accomplish anything? And these are all questions that are turning over in my mind in terms of which way we go. Basically the judgement is the NCAA's to make. The fact that an institut ion may ask that an investigation be opened doesn't necessarily mean that the NCAA will do it. It's their judgement in much of this and my overall responsibility is to ( continued on page four * SPONSORED STUDENTS Students sponsored by the B ureau of V ocat i ona l Rehabilitation must report to the Bureau Counselor , Mr. Sunday, in Room 204, Waller Hall, on Mondays of every month, between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. A thru E — 1st Monday of the month F thru L — 2nd Monday of the month M thru Z — 3rd Monday of the month Open and make-up — 4th Monday of the month Please bring the yellow carbon copy of your BVR authorization with you.

En z After a week of school it' s time to talk time. As you know , time is behind the clockwork of all school activities . And you will soon find out BSC 's clockwork doesn 't tick to the click of things the way it should. You may find yourself at a nine o'clock around ten . Or you may be twenty minutes earl y for a class you missed. The threat of being late , or early, f or a class is alwa ys in t he back of a student' s mind. You don 't want to be too early for a class because nobody is there. If you're la t e, everyone is there and they 're starrin g at you. But minu tes and hours are mere tr ivia when one conside r s the impact of missing a period. Ask any girl , she'll tell you , because i t seems girls are the ones always worried about it. The y don 't mind so much being earl y, or even la te, but to miss a whole period , and worse yet , two , is traumatic. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it depends on how you view the system , a guy doesn 't feel the same anxiety that a girl does about periods. For a guy to miss ten , fi fteen or even twenty periods means only that he isn't going to make the grade . And we must admit that grades are important if you want to come out ahead. called cheap wine. Most students resort to cheap wine in times of dire poverty and thus become familiar with only one or two brands. Being broke all the time, I've become acquainted with the most popular bran ds and can offer advice. Cheap wine in itself isn't a bad thing. It does have a few advantages over other beverages , the foremost being price. All the wines mentioned here run from about 85 cents to two dollars , well within the price range of the average student. It can also be fun and on rare occasions even taste good. There are brands to avoid , mediocre hranris anri a vtmi fouj annA nnos Needless to' say, one should avoid brands like Tiger Rose and Thunderbird. The effects, before ; and after , are miserable . Not only does the stuff taste bad , but leaves your mouth feeling like the entire Prussian army has camped inside , starting campfires , drinking beer and smoking cigars. On to the more popular stuff. One of the most maligned wines about the country is Ripple , the only grape wine in the universe never to have seen the likes of a grape. In part the reputation is undeserved. Ripple tastes awful , brand of Sant gria , a Spanish purpose wine , but of the white but that can be cured by letting citrus- grape mixture.
