Clifton speaks at Ed. Conference "Who Cares " was the topic of a speech by Dr. Donald O. Clifton at the General Session of the Education Conference last Saturday, October 7 in Haas Center . In addition to Dr. Clifton 's talk the conference included workshop 's, seminars and various educational materials exhibits in the Centennial Gym. "We need people-oriented schools instead of curriculumoriented schools," stated Dr. Clifton , emphasizing the importance of individualized perception. He para lleled this idea to medicine: ' Suppose machines Mr. William Acierno , president of the BSC Chapter of APSCUF/ PAHE, as he addressed Colle ge were invented to make the ' Council Monday night .

Clifton claims that all people are equip ped with buckets and dippers . What the buckets contain and the dippers dredge up is not definite , but according to Clifton , it is something of worth. For example , Df. Clifton said , "If you walk up to someone and say hi , you fill their bucket a little. If you use their name , you fill it more and if you take time to speak concise, the bucket gets even fuller. " Manv DeoDle mistakenly dip into others ' buckets attempting to increase their own contents but "You can only fill your own bucket by filling someone elses."

Up until now, it was so well-hidden away in the bowels of Bakeless, one had to stumble over a dead janitor to find it... and to find out what was going on. Last spring, the campus population had a rare opportunity when the final sculpture criti que was held outside of Haas Auditorium. But just as quickly as the artwork materialized on the green , so did it disappear. The students would have to wait another year to see any sculpture. Right? Wrong. The sculpture dept . is making itself known. The studio still remains (along with the dead janitors ) in Bakeless Dungeon But the pieces are appearing outside. The green in front of Haas was recently inhabited by three metal sculptures, among them a Tom Schofield alligator constructed from tin cans. A fourth piece now stands behind Bakeless and two more are under construction there. The loading dock leading to the studio is the site of several large wooden pieces which were started last week. People are beginning to notice that BSC does offer courses in sculpture and that students and faculty are doing serious work . Many of the reactions have been negative , som e of them scathingly so . Disparaging comments have come from the inevitable amateur traditionalist art critics, among them students , faculty and one janitor (who might spend just a bit more time w orking and a Jittle Jess time estimating the aest.het.j c wort h of sculpture ) . On the- other hand . there have been many positive remarks about the work being done The point is this : any comment , good or bad, is fine ... because people are noticing . Many of them didn 't even know the scul pture dept . existed . But there is one black spot in this whole affair and it disgusts me. Schofield's alligator wasn't out in the open for verv lone wmmmmm ^^ H / * "~ J\ | ¦ ert*oH \ | I X u, A*A / A U R\6rt T , ft ^ R on '. \ > *JHo DtD a ?.'. *H <3 \ °\ ¦ ^ W° ™ / > ¦ d \ ^M before certain people (who remain ignominiously anonymous) began taking free kicks at it , knocking some of its scales asunder. Later on, the 'gator disappeared mysteriously. One of the sculpture students discovered it in a rest area on Route 80. Unfortunately, this wasn 't the only incident . Someone attempted to bend one of the other metal sculptures out of shape and half - succeeded in his endeavor. This is totally senseless. Before long, the pieces will have to be electrified to prevent their damage or loss. The Neanderthals who do these things are not only displaying their own low intelligence , t hey 're giving the rest of the college community a bad name . If they don't like our sculpture , t hey can say so. But they have no right to damage or steal. The fine artists and the ripoff artists can co-exist peacefully onl y when the rip-off artists change their medium. And the time to change is now. I y^ CTJ W»MT WHO N n UcHEa ,hd1 n Vn»v^ l y^i^??,?^ bears witness to this. And to be realistic , (here will be a lot of stoned people at the J. Geils concert. Now smoking cigarettes is not bad if someone enjoys it , but it poses a problem at this concert. A high pressure approach to this problem can be bad news. Penn State had a similar problem last year (they use a gym too ) and rigid securi ty failed to solve it. They did find a solution but only after two more tension producing concerts. I've heard reports that security at the concert will be rigid. My recommendation to BNE is to take the Penn State a pproach to the smoking problem. Simp ly use a small group of student marshalls with a low key approach to smokers. A few words spoken to the fan politely and on a one to one basis usually stops him . It worked with eight or nine thousand at Penn State's Richie Havens concert , making it the least tense concert they had last year. It could work here. Tt ie olen m\r Vmno that ctllrf pnts will avoid smoking during the show. If the new gym hadn 't been used, the J. Geils Band would never have been booked. If the gym is kept in good shape, the use of an area that can house large, popular and good groups will be insured. As far as non-student concert goers are concerned, a good idea would be to have security officers and students posted on Light Street Road and in the lower campus parking areas as guides. If they are directed toward the parking areas and aimed in the direction of the new gym , chances are that non-students will appear at future BSC concerts. Admittedly, they'll still have a hassle, but the confusion can be lessened. ^ ^\r~^ f) \ tnn Wcallicr suij ra iim.c wuo w e e n, tuc school should consider the use of the incomplete practice field for parking. If the ground is hard enough, this is a feasible notion . The only indefinite is the fickle Bloomsburg weather. This idea should at least be considered and tentatively approved , with regards to the elements. Like I said, survival at BSC is highly dependent on making do with what already exists. I m going to see J. Geils and I hope that the turnout is high and the crowd stays cool. We could have a real whammer jammer every time if cooperation between the BNE committee, the college and students takes place. The responsibility lies on all three.

That is about the only thing you can do to avoid the transportation problem. Just leave the lower campus early enough; you may get a good seat. Another good idea would be for the college to look into a canvas floor cover. It's impossible to get one this late , but the use of canvas would cut down on the chances of fire damage by those who' insist on smoking at future concerts.

(What other station kept "Alone Again , Naturally" in the top 10 for over four months? ) That's why it seemed somehow appropriate, that as I was punching the buttons on my car radio in frustration , trying to escape the after-school glut of acne commercials, I came across a "Nixon for Youth" spot on ABC. Refreshing too in a way, because the 60 second collection of lies was the most stimulating commercial the station had offered in years. It got me so mad, I began to fear for the safety of any hapless driver who might innocently cross my path sporting a "Nixon Now" bumper sticker. The commerical contained any number of lies, but every now and then I'd miss one while I loudly vented my wrath on its predecessor. Try a few of these on for size, and see if you don't see what I mean: —Since President Nixon took office , more money has been spent on social needs than on defense. That is factually correct. When you add up all Federal, State and local revenues, more money has always been spent for social needs. But, when you consider only the Federal revenues, the onlv funds Mr. Nixon is directlv responsible for , you find that over 70 per cent is still being flushed down the Pentagon Port-O-San ; and that percentage is increasing every year. —President Nixon gave the 18year-olds the ' right to vote. Sure, after House and Senate Democrats pushed for its passage, they gave it to Nixon who practically had to have his arm twisted half way up his back before he'd sign it. Then he grinned, and turned defeat to victory by taking credit for it (the scenario was the same for the recent hike in Social Security benefits). —President Nixon cleaned up the environment by establishing the Office of Environmental Protection. That's like saying President Johnson eradicated all racial problems in America by signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. (Late Flash : Environmental Crusader, Richard Nixon, is doing his damnest to veto a $24 million water pollution bill passed by large margins in both the House and Senate.) There were more lies, but you get the idea. Those of you who have read George Orwell's "1984" will recognize this commercial as "doublethink." Those of you who haven't will still recognize Nixon as a liar. Vote for Nixon in November, and in four years he'll be telling you that Gilbert O'Sullivan and "Alone Again, Naturally" never existed. And if you're like most of the Nixon voters I've talked to, you'll think back and say: "You know, he's right. I can 't even remember how it goes." Four more years. Zombies beware. by Frank Pizzoli After rapping with some people the around here about Presidential Forum in the last issue we came to the conclusion that the article by Dr. Hans K. Gunther may have provoked prospective McGovern voters into an argument going something like this : "McGovern said this!", "No McGovern said THIS!", "Did so", "Did not", "Yes", "No" In other words Dr. Gunther the realities of national , state, local and neighborhood politics scare you off so easily. So unlike my editorial opponents I won't bore you with what Richard Nixon said on a Monday and what he changed it to on a Tuesday. Rather there are basic points of disagreement between the two candidates that maybe we have clouded in our minds. It is an election year and we usually let the issues get watered down as time goes on because we are saturated with them for so long. (Commercial : women and children still burn and die from napalm in Vietnam) First off , McGovern pledges as the first order of business, an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Indochina ; whereas Mr. Nixon refuses to accept terms that would in his words dishonor the country. Actually what he is trying to say is that he refuses to be the first American president to accept defeat. Then we have the fact that Mr. Nixon is irrevocably opposed to busing in order to achieve racial balance while McGovern views transportation as another tool to accomplish desegregation . To those who for reasons of conscience refused to serve in Vietnam War (incursion, conflict , or whatever) McGovern has stated his intentions to declare an amnesty . The present administration refused to grant amnesty to those who, in their eyes, have broken the law. Economic security is a matter of ngnt tor lieorge jwcuovern which means a job with decent pay for everyone willing and able to work and an adequate income for those unable to work. Mr. Nixon flatl y opposes programs which embrace the principle of a government guaranteed income. I won't go on. But if you have any questions or you think you have some good idea s about Campaign '72 call or drop by the Campaign Information Center, Ground Floor Elwell ; 389-2830, or Ward Jackson, box 2077 Elwell Hall.

Yea, sure, maybe McGovern did try to play both sides against the middle so he could score a few extra votes. In this respect he's just like his opponent who gave us four long years of experience with a president who consistently said one thing and did another. I'm surprised that the political realities of the day are so very threatening and so very unaccepted bv some of us.

Eric Smithner And Ag ain.., Dr. Gunther in defense of the Nixon candidacy lists a num ber of wa ys in wh ich McGovern has changed his mind (for instance about tax ref orm and Tom Eagleton ). But isn' t the wa y Nixon seems to have changed his mind about peace far more serious? After all he did say during the last campaign that , "Those who have had a chance for four years and could not produce peace should not be given another chance." G unther seems to defend the President against arguments like this one by saying, "...it takes two to fight — or to make up, " suggesting that it is the North Vietnamese who are stubbornly blocking any peace settlement. But if that is true now , was it not also true in 1968 when Nixon wbb criti cizing the Democrats for not producing peace? Fur thermore , while it does take two to make-up , it A Credibil ity Gap by Frank Lorah The McGovernmentpolitiking is rapidly picking up momentum as November 7 approaches. Personal TV appearances , heavy campaigning in the big electoral states and a large mailing of fund-raising letters is reaching a peak — all in a last minute effort to dump Nixon. However plausible the McGovernomics may sound and unpaiaiaDie me past iour years seem to have been ," Mr. McGovern faces a dilemma far greater than the Presidential race against Mr. Nixon. He is losing his credibility with which scores of young Americans were won to his campaign wagon earlier this year. Mr. McGovern knows his credibility is under fire. He stated last week, "Inside, I've been alternately weeping and boiling for weeks. The Quality I treasure most is my credibility." However, all too often he has been caught with his foot in his mouth . For example, after clearly outlining specific plans for "an American economic recovery " before the City Club of Cleveland last week, reporters asked of McGovern why he had - not outlined his foreign policy in detail. Reporters were told that presidential candidates are "to speak in generalities and not promises." But Mr. McGovern is promising jobs , better education, housing and many other give-aways. McGovern's credibility is also questioned when such trashy , irrelevant movie documentaries like "Millhouse" are authorized for public viewing. Am I to believe that I should . vote for McGovern because some cameraman caught Mr. Nixon with a "funnie" expression on his face? If I am, then I am afraid for the future of the United States. Mr. McGovern (or a high ranking campaign aide) has aiso aucnonzea sucn propaganda as "Unemployment — Up"; "Inflation — Up." If a person reads the figures correctly, he would find the opposite true. Statistical records show a drop of one half percent in unemployment even after consideration of the increase in the labor force of 1.5 million people. The majority of nonpartisan economists around the nation insist that inflation is falling and even if it were still on the rise, inflation can not be attributed to one person. But McGovern 's political muckrackers thrive on the idea that the President is solely responsible for all the so-called economic ills of the nation. McGovern's credibility could be attacked on many sides for ill-timed statements and policies. However, now that the presidential race is getting down to the nitty-gritty, Mr. McGovern can be worried about keeping only one thing — his name on the Democratic Party ballot — for he has surely stopped worrying about maintaining his credibility. Drama Review Red Hot Love rs by Susan Sprague "To think that in a different age I would have gone to my grave ignorant of the beautiful knowledge that afternoons my husband is humping Charlotte Corman!" wailed Jeanette Fisher (played by Gail Lynch ) , the most outstanding character in the Players ' presentation of THE LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS. Miss Lynch's i nterpretation of the manic depressive who had lost her husband to the embraces of a buxom redhead was definitely the highlight of the show. The audience showed i ts appreciat ion of her talents by loud and sustained applause. Miss Lynch's f ema le "Paul Lynde" was without a doubt the best of th e f our character parts i n l ast week 's performances. Graduate student Tony Kohl did an admirable job as the inhibited Barney Cashman , his two best scenes being his "pot" scene with Bobbi Michelle (played by Brenda Walton ) , and his "attempted rape" scene with Gail Lynch. Mr. Kohl app eared nervous at the start of each act , but was soon able to warm to his part. It' s a shame he almost lost the first act to Miss Polier by permitting her to upstage him. a Maryclare Polier , newcomer to Haas Auditorium , seemed nervous in her interpretation of the oversexed Elaine Navazio. Her attem pt to play the part to the best of her ability resulted in an overonly takes one to end a fight — perhaps to be able to fight another day when it makes more sense. O. J.

Miss Walton giggled , sighed , sh ivere d, trembled and screamed at all t h e a pp ro pr i ate moments , giving a more than passable performance. The set and properties for the show were good , with congratulations in store f or both Lin Naylor and Mr. Sato. Mr. Robert Richey, director , should feel complimented on an admirable presentation of Neil Simon's play. If the audience came to find something to laugh at , I' m sure they found it, Mr. Simon's ability as a playwright being excellent. We are all, no doubt, looking forward to the Players' next performance.

Centerfold by Ellen Doyle View of the lower campus in 1929 showing Noetling and Waller Halls. BSC? Traditi on — that' s the stuff colleges suppo sedly thrive on: ivy cover ed walls am1 rah-rah school spirit ; Ivy Day* May Queens and Hom ecoming; the Alma Ma ter. Where an all these schmultz y traditi on s at BSC? They seem to be conspicuousl y absen t, the onh remnant of the "old days " being the Board of Trustee s. Our campus seems so modern am utilitarian that we forget that Bloomsburg state College's roots go back to th e Bloomsbur f Academy , started in 1839 — 133 year s ago. Have you ever wondered what things were like way back in th e good old days? I • Walking around the lower part of the campus you can get a vague glimpse of what it must have been like. The older buildings : Carv er Hall , Waller Hall and Old Science were all around then. The Pergola (behind Montour Hall ) donated by the Class of 1916, must have served a function once. Then ther e ar e the Long Porch and the fountain and the Memorial Pines behind Schuylkill. Or did you ever stop to think tha t most of the building s on campus were people once? Waller , Carver , Elwell , Haas , Sutliff , Bakeless, Hartline and Andruss are all men who contributed to the growth of BSC. The physical aspect of BSC ha s chan ged drastically. We have a lot more buildings and a lot less trees and grass (the green kind ). But the men ta l aspect has chang ed unbelievably St ud ents seem to view BSC as a backwar d institution , especially with regards to rules and regulations. But if you think we have it bad , imagine the kids "back in the good old days ", when BSC was Bloomsburg Nor mal School. Photos courtesy °f r Mr. Boyd Buckingham Waller Hall acquired a new stone porchaf ter this picture was taken in 1941. I What is now Waller Hall was known as "th e dormitory " and everybody , I mean EVERYBODY , lived there : students , ser\j»nts , faculty, and the President . The life style was designed "to be that of a famil y, tht boardin g pupils, with the Principal and his Assista nts meet around the same table anl conform their matte rs and intercourse to the usages of a refined family circle. " Can you imagine this cozy scene described in the college catalogue of 1873-1874 , occurrin g today? The college was run like a strict girls ' icademy. Students were warned in the same catalogue : "Th e young lad ies and gentlem an are not allowed to pause or loiter for a conversation with each other in the Hall , Socitty Rooms , Dining Rooms , or Parlors , unless in case of special permission . Neither are the; permitted to walk , ride or correspond by letter with each other. " They had a bedtime—thi retirin g bell rang at 9:00 p.m. but by 1887 the rules were so relaxed that studen ts didn 't h ve to go to bed until 9:45 p.m. Under no circumstances were students a, lowed to leave the grounds without permissi on. Once , when Barnum and Bailey 's Circus w a ; in town , twelve young men abandoned campus early in the morning to watc h them settin g p. Altho ugh Dr. David J. Waller , Jr., Pres ident at the time , stated that he could undei s and the boy 's excitement , a strict rule had , nevertheless , been broken. The boys were suspended for a year and Bloomsburg Normal School didn 't have a baseball tea m that \ ?ar. Memorial Pines (now know n as the big tr ees behind Schuylkill ) were planted in memory of th e school' s alumni who died in World War I. Again Waller and Noetling Halls. The Sc ranton Comm ons now domina tes this scene. Old North Hall, the only dormitory, burned down in the late 1800's Senior walk , in fron t of Waller Hall, ended with these stone steps — another traditi on lost to prog ress , in the shape of Scran ton Comm ons. And you might think BSC has administt ;i ive hassles now! Robert Nossen had a stormy term as president , but think of poor T. L. < iswald , president of the institution fro m 18731877. The dormitory, one of the three camp is buildings , was destroyed by fire during his tenure. A new dorm was built in its place (the original wings of the present-day Waller Hall. ) But in 1877 , Griswald was fired by the Hoard of Trustees because " apparent approval of clairvoyance and Spiritualism prevaile 1" at Bloomsburg Normal School. This was confusing the minds of the youn g innocents , who were supposed to devote themselves to the truths of the Scriptures. Hut the situation hasn 't improved entii 1' . In 1895, Bloomsburg Normal School had an Infirmary and isolation hospital on the top loor of the Employees dorm ( Hemloc k Hall - * located where Schuylkill Hall is now ). A full ime nurse staffed the infirmary. However , the catalogue was careful to sta te that student s rarely got sick because of the clea n, healthful lives they led. Today, BSC, whose stude nt >opulation has increased enormously, doesn 't have such a facilit y . And , as f ar as eq ualit y for women — forg( t it! The catalogu e of 1894-95 states: "The beds of gentlemen are made and thei r room s c ared for daily ." It was a pparen tl y taken f or gra nted that "ladies " could perform these ir enial tasks for themselves. In 1906, t h e use of tobacco was forbidd en because " a Y O U NG M AN cannot educat e his m ind while he is injuring his brain and nerv< us system with poison in the form of nicotine. " Apparently no one ever dreamed of a womai even considering smokin g. Besides the rule against smokin g, stud en s were also forbidden to use profane , indecent languag e and alcohol. But we can gain slight comfort that the stude nts were doing something. In 1873 , the Board of Trust ees brought lawsuits against the Forks Hotel for "selling liquors to minors and studen ts ". A t east we know that things weren 't all bad. One of the unique features offered by the I* ormal School was the " Washin gton excursion ". A week before the Christmas holida y, a I the studen ts who could affor d it , went to Washington , D.C. and Philadelph ia by sped al train . They toured historical sites for five days. The cost of the trip , everythin g inclu ded , " was not to exceed $ 16" . Well , I' m not sure what happened to all these rules and traditions. They were proba bly d r oppe d dur i ng World War II , when Bloom sburg State Teachers C ollege became affilia ted wi th the military and trained pilots. Pres um ably, no one ever bothered to reinstate the old traditions. But it Is interesting to look back and r ealise what things were like around here in the 19th century. I'd like to conclude wit h an old Bloomsburg song. Does anyon e actually KNOW BSC 'a A lma Mater ? g^^B^MMIPIIPIIIMMMMM ^M**''**'**''"1""' ¦ -n^wmwrr.-*".

Marsha Wannamaker , center half , was the outstanding defensive player for BSC . Ghe always seemed to be where the ball was and had good drives back to her forward line . Wilkes played a better game then the Huskiettes. Their forward line was setting the pace of the game. This plus a strong defense was the undoing of the BSC Hockey tea m . The Huskiette defense wasn 't used to pla ying against such an aggress ive forward line . Our forward line , in their desperation t o get a goal , found themselves crowding each other , especiall y within the circle . Because of our mistakes and their attacks the Wilkes team set the pace . Yesterda y our girls ventured to Lycoming College , a team which the y have defeated this season , for a practice scrimmage. Tomorrow they will go to the Un ivers it y of Scranton for ano t her p ractice scrimmage . A lthough the scrimmages will not alter the 2 win 1 loss 1 tie record , t hey will help the team to learn to work together more efficientl y. The Huskiettes ' next official game will be against Mansfield State College , Tuesda y, Oct. 24 on Bloomin ' beauties bull ying the ball. MansfieWs -Hockey field. Huskiettes battling for the ball.
