"Annie Get Your Gun" Highlights Madri gal Perf ormance Musk ieSp eaks In Shamokin PledgesOpportunity In America by Michael Hock This week in a speech in New York City, President Johnson compared the Democratic and Republican parties. He said , "Democrats face problems and Republicans defer them." . Last Thursday, October 24, 1968, Senator Edmund Muskie , The Democratic party's nominee for Vice President spoke in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, and attempted to prove the validity of LBJ's statement by expressing his views on the issues pertinent to this year's political campaign. Democrats O.K. Muskie, the son of a Polish immigrant, was enthusiastically received by a large segment of Shamokin's population , many of whom share a similar ethnic background to that of the Maine Senator. He focused the body of his address to those problems facing that coal mining community. He said , "I've been aware over the last few years of the problems you 've had in this area adj usting from a coal based economy to something different which would provide the jobs and opportunities that every American seeks. I've traveled all over the country and it's been very reassuring to me to find that in spite of differences, in spite of the difficult problems we face , in spite of the unrest that causes some Americans to distrust other Americans , we are still basically one country, one people, looking for the same things out of life —decent j obs, decent homes, an opportunity to raise our families and opportunities to educate our young people. This is what we've been trying to do for the last eight years. The Vice-Presidential candidate went on to out line the accom plishments of the democratic administration the United States has experienced for the past eight years. He com pared these accomplishments with tho se of the Elsenhower Administration previous to 1960. Kenned y," he stated , "John "camo down th rou gh this are a in 1960 asking for your help in gettin g tho country moving again. At thnt time we had eight yoars of Re publican Administration in which Mr. Nixon was Vico President. " Boos For Nixon Tho crowd , thinkin g in retrospect to tho Eisenh ower years , expressed thoir dian pprovnl and partialit y by Interru ptin g Musklo 's dlscourso • with boos and jeors. "And duri n g thoso eight yoars wo had th roe rocosslons which cost - us 175 billion dollars in production. When he (Nixon ) left office as Vice President there were five million Americans unemployed," he declared. "John Kennedy," he continued, "promised ,if you would help him achieve the office of the presidency, that he'd work to change all that and keep that promise. What's happened in these last eight years? Our national production has grown. It is four hundred billion dollars greater than in 1960. The five million unemployed has been reduced to two million. The twelve percent unemployed in this area has been cut to three percent. These are important figures to talk about... Thomas Jefferson said a long time ago that the purpose of government in our society is to make it possible for people to achieve happiness. This is what we (Humphrey, Muskie ) have undertaken to do." Mr. Muskie then made an attempt to apply these nationwide figures to the economic group living in the Shamokin-Mount Carmel area. "We of immigrant stock understand the meaning of all this because it's what we came here to fight for, came here to get, and what we came here and found," he said. "So, we want to continue this kind of goal for this kind of purpose, for this kind of goal in the years ahead, to build a greater America, a growing America of opportunity for every American. And when we achieve that we can have the kind of peace and harmony that we all want in our communities. So I ask that help to do that j ob. I ask for the kind of help you gave John Kennedy and if you give us that help on November fifth it will be a great victory of the American people." Down Wit h Wallace A small group of George Wallace supporters inconspicuously displ ayed banners among the man y Hum phrey-Muskie signs. The Senator noticed the grou p and rerouted his address to cover the Wallace threat . "I get some idea from your response if I am oh the right track , if I' ve got the right message. " Pointing at the Wallace group he said , "And I say to you , it' s a message of freedom. It' s a message of opportunit y. And it is so much bett er than the message of fear that this man Wallace is tryin g to sell. I remember the New England of the nineteen twenties when those of us of immigrant stock were still regarde d as foreigners by a lot of native Americans. The Klan came out of the South , the some Klan that backs Wallace , and came up to New En gland to figh t who? Us foreigners, that 's who they were fighti ng back in the twenties . Yes, tho people who made it possible for you to bo here youn g man. " flrticulate Liberals Go Nuts! "We understand this message of fear and hatred. "We rej ect it and the American people will rej ect it on November fifth, so soundly that it will never rise again. Because, those who came here came to escape fear, escape hatred. They came here to find opportunity for themsel ves, not to deny it to others. And we learned that here , the hard way." Muskie concluded by sustaining hope for America. He spoke of the effect George Wallace's type of policy has had on the history of the United States and vowed to stop this sort of threat. His concluding remarks were, "I'm old 'enough to remember how hard it was to fight these people who wanted to throw us out. We made it in spite of the Wallaces of that time and Americans today are going to make it in spite of the Wallaces of our time. We're going to continue to build America in a way that George Wallace completely misunderstands. The right way ! The way that taught Americans to work together. That's what made this country what it is in this year of 1968. And to you young men carrying the Wallace banners, we're going to keep it that way!" The BSC Madrigal Singers made several appearances in the Philadelphia area this past Monday and Tuesday (October 28-29). They gave performances for the Convention of the Pennsylvania Nurses Association at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel; the Academy of the New Church , at Bryn Athyn where they presented their Evening Entertainment Series. At the concert for the Nurses' Convention they staged the highlights of Annie Get Your Gun. * * * In addition to the regular Madrigal Singers , there is now a group of four singers known as the Mad- Studen t Charged Timothy Mooney, a twenty-yearold j unior at BSC, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and driving while under the influence of alcohol. These charges were lodged due to an automohile accident- which took the life of another student , Timothy Lavelle, last Sunday. State Police of the Milton barted that the vehicle, opracks repor erated by Mooney, went out of control on Interstate Route 80, throwing Lavelle, a twenty-one-year-old senior from Scranton , to the roadway. Officials at the Bloomsburg Municipal Hospital stated that the BSC student lived approximately one minute after arrival at the local institution. Mooney was charged before Justice of the Peace Lower of Danville and is scheduled for a hearing next Saturday according to the Danville Magistrate. Investigation is being continued by the Milton State Police. NX. Times On Muskie-Agnew John Adams once called the VicePresidency "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived." In an editorial on Sunday, October 20, 1968, the New York Times attempted to show the falsity of this statement. They said, "This was never a fair appraisal of the importance of the j ob. Adams himself stepped up to the Presidency from the Vice-Presidential position. It is less valid than ever today when the power of the American Chief Executive has vastly expanded and when the possibility of a sudden succession has been significantly raised by the increased strains and perils of the Presidency." This , year 's vice-presidential can- didates emer ged into national politics from similar beginnings . Both are sons of immi grants. Both have been the Governor of their home state. Althou gh the Times recognizes these similarities in ex perience, the y went on to point out why the y felt Mr. Muskie is the most qualified to hold this office. "Governor Agnew," the y said , has shown himself to be rash , maladroit , insensitive to the deeper problems afflicting the nation and quick to exploit public pre ju dices for political gain. He has dismissed student demonstrators as "sp oiled brats who have never had a good spankin g," has vowed to curb dissent , even nonviolent dissent , against unjus t laws; and has even accused Vlce-Prosldent Hum ph rey of bein g "soft on Communism ," an eco of McCarth yism he later rotracted , On tho other hand , they pointed out that , "Senator Muskie. ,. has emer ged as a leador of moderation , taste and sensitivity , n man of characte r who attackfl problems , not poopl o. He has won tho respoct of an gry youn g tnen by listenin g patiently to thoir ar guments and then o(To rin g his own in quiet , rational lan guage. Ho has defended tho "privilege of dissent" whllo urgin g tho "res ponsibility for resolving differences. " He has called on sec- ond generation Americans like himself to remember their own struggles for economic and social justice and to become more understanding of the aspirations of other minority groups. "Law and order cannot be had by a slogan and a stick," he has said. "That is like ordering the sick to be healthy." The Times then stated that at the time of nomination, the senator from Maine clearly had the edge in experience. They said, "As a VicePresidential candidate , Mr. Muskie has demonstrated he has what it takes to be president. Mr. Agnew has not."

'S<- ir "i yvj ^-.v- -!) t^i ^^ot^v^i^j ^'r ^^^r ^^M-mf ri^A Editorial . . ., . Left Tun Speaking before a student audience, at Kings College in WilkesBarre, Senator Joseph Clark said, "It is ironic that my opponent has claimed to represent young ideas and new directions and yet has seemed to arouse very little enthusiasm among the youth of Pennsylvania." There is little irony in Richard Schweiker's lack of youth support. During his campaign for Senator Clark's scat he has moved considerably to the right, playing politics rather than princi ple. He has reversed his congressional stand on gun oontrol (he was for it), made insi pid comments supporting J. Ed^ar l loow r. ami has attempted to form a coalition of Clark enemies rather than establishing positive alternatives to his positions. This kind of mm about does not win the support of our generation. Both presidential camitdates have indulged in it , and l ost by it; so has Mr. SchweiKer. Youth wants "new politics," and politicians who are versatile , not hypocritical. Senator Clark has shown the son of courageous independence and princi pled behavior we admire, never hesitating to speak out on important issues, even when it invited reprisal within his own party (i.e. Vietnam , Senate'Ethics.) Senator Clark has served two good terms, and deserves another. Letters . . . Dear Editor , In reply to the comment by Mr. O'Day on the editorial page of the M & G , October 23, I wish to comment Mark Piazza and company for the most successful homecoming in recent history. I feel that O'Day's criticism of the speed of the Homecoming parade and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen are completely unj ustified. As a photographer, I must remind Mr. O'Day that time does not wait; and that if a picture of an event is not recorded , a posed shot after the event is preferable to none at all. In conclusion I should mention The Morning Press column layouts on the Homecoming festivities in addition to several general college shots in the Homecoming edition. These could have been made available to the M & G on request. Thank you, Walter Cox I would like to answer Mr. Cox's letter. As a photographer I must remind Mr. Cox that we at the M & G arc not portrait artists. 1 like to think of myself as a news photographer , and I like to think that something like the Homecoming Parade is an event worthy of news coverage. If I were to wait until the end of events to photograph them, I wouldn 't consider myself to bo at the source of news. Times does not wait and spontaneity is important to my photography, I wou ld ha v e liked a pictur e of t he queen waving to the people along the par ade r ou te, not sitting on the car wondering when it was going to start raining. I now wonder whether the Morning Press has Mr. Cox pose all his pictures. If I am to believe what Mr. Cox says I guess it would be better for me to shoot artificial action instead of live action. I guess I'll never get a job with the Morning Pr£ss. Wally has their portrait studio all tied up. Mike O'Day Dear E dit or, May this letter be directed to those individuals who are the chronic eomplainers who have nothing to look forward to on weekends at Bloomsburg. Granted , everyone has their own interest, but how exciting is traveling home every weekend having to turnabout shortly after you have arrived there. If you live very far from Bloomsburg, there is little free time between unpacking and packing your wares. As an out of state student, Ido not find myself a weekend bagger. I feel that it is not worthwhile, and I find no reason to go home every weekend; I am among the satisfied students on campus, I have not, am not, and will not become bored at Bloomsburg. Some students are concerned in the social life rather than in obtaining a sound education . Social activity plays a very important role in college life , the two are inseparable , together they represent a growth in education. People are for the most part veiy diversified in their actions , their beliefs, and their interests, but even here , y es, here in Bloomsburg there are enough interests for a variety of people if you will take the time to look.
