Up and down they go, and much is at the whim of the distributor and record store chains. But , and this is a mighty big but , in the past year at Bloomsburg, the consumer has been at the mercy of a record war. For a while the competition made things reall y good. Prices were down to what would be considered normal in a bigger city. Until the rumors started flying sarrumH It seems that the three major record stores in Bloomsburg, Arcus Brothers , Pandemoniu m and the Record Ranch , were engaged in some behind-thecounter cut-throating. There was an alleged agreement between the Record Ranch , which is a chain store , and Arcus Brothers to drive Pandemonium out of business last January. , This alleged agreemen t was a failure. For one thing , Pan- Th ese p eo p le have gi ven willingly of their time and effort t o the band.

He probably never numbered more tha n a few thousand at any one time while he was surrounded by species more numerically prolific and far better ada pted to local en\ironments than he was. His relatives among the tro pical and outmid-latitude animals numbered him , and many of extended graduall y tli em themselves into distant regions of the colder temperate climates while man remained huddl ed along the African grassfields in small , scattered groups for millions of years. Man 's w«k» ^ h«w%«fc#«frf« |A UafJCVtO urc »uiuuic i . *. «»o prices over also appeared to be a good move, for Pandemoniu m still had the selection and the Record Ranch had a number of rare albums and a damned good orde ring service . In the past week, however , the clincher has made itself evident. Record prices in all three stores have stabiliz ed ; the ru mors have it that Arcus Brothers and Pandemonium agreed to meet roughly equal prices with the Record Ranch. "Good!" you think. Wrong, because the prices have stabilized at the same above average prices in all three stores. It appears tha t the owners have re ached an agreement of sort s that keeps them off of each others backs. The only t hing wron g is that the consumer is getting screw ed. Most of the business received by "record st ores in town com es from college students. We ar e the ones who ha ve to pay high prices th at we normall y w ouldn't pay elsewhere. And there ' are only three stores in Bloomsburg that have any kind of selection . The r esult? The avera ge consumer is the victi m of a clandestine sort of price fixing. The other thing to be aware of is the fact that these .acuons violate me price ireeze. If an agreemen t, alleged or otherwise , must be made , the result should have been lower prices. But the market is closed. I, for one, will not be buying records in Bloomsburg until prices are down again. My pocketbook is too lean to be played games with .

From one pers pective , the world — its land , its seas, its air — would be better today if that creature which survived had been stam peded into extinction along with his notor ious cousins. Only Man believes in the efficacy of his survival , but in the process he has dealt harshly with other animals. But it is particularly , man 's relationship with plants which is the genesis of the human population problem , and thus the "problem " for all living thing s. Committed for hundreds of thousands of years to the life of wandering, man settled down for the first time 10,000 years ago when ' he learned to satisfy his hunger by growing most of his food. The domestication of plants created a new life of food abundance but inexorable altered forever the essential relationship between man and nature.

It' s 12:15 in the morning of November 22 and Dick Cavett and I are sick, AJ 11:30 we both tuned our TV sets to our local ABC stations , hoping to see the 90 minutes of stimulatin g conversation , interesting guests and brilliant entertainment we had come to associate with ABC late night TV. Of the two of us, only Cavett knew it wasn 't coming . As for myself , poor frustrated and manipu lated consumer , I could only sit and watch with a mixture of surprise and hor ror as ABC trotted out their forthcoming replacement for the Cavett Show. Billed as "a latevariety-en tertainment night show" (a media euphemism for "give the idiots somethin g simple they can understand "), the show failed at even tha t. The show is iron ically called "Let' s Celebrate " — I say "ironically " because there is nothing spontaneous , joyous or stimulatin g about it ; "ironic ," because the aDDearance of "Let' s Celebrate " heralds the death of what had to' be one of the finest shows the great god TV has ever seen fit to offer us. But there's no point in my catalo ging the fine points of "The Dick Cavet t Show", the Neilsen people aren 't going to read this anywa y . So let me warn you about this so-called celebration . I kn ew we were al l doomed the minute it started. Where I had come to expect a Bob Rosengarden dru m rol l and a wr y Cavett monologue, t here was only a face — a face (and you're not going to believe this) topped by curly hair and propped up by jowls which were exact replicas of the jowls which hold up the face of Richard Nixon. To quote , quite appropri ately, Jack Parr , "I kid you not!!' I considered the mass appeal of those jowls, how thousands of people would faithfully watch them because of the confidence they inspired , and decided tha t I was a victim of post-elec tion paranoi a. At least that' s what I thought until "jowls " star ted talking . Again , I kid you not , he kicked the show off with a rap about how certain people are always running around running everything down , "prophets of doom" he called them , and about how it was time that somebody started celebrating the good things about life here in America. Then it hit me — that IS Richard Nixon. The oV son-of-agun got bored with the presidency now that he can 't run for it anymore , so he decided to get into show biz before he lost his popular appeal . And they've taken Cavett off so that Pa pa Dick can entertain us for the next four years. Aargh! "GOODNIGHT, COLUM BUS!" As if that wasn 't enough to send me screaming mad into the corner , the chicks came on. Three of 'em. The first a dumb Tricia blonde , the next a chubby Julie , and the last a token Black who really doesn't fit into this ridiculous analogy I'm draw ing, but for the sake of logical writing, let's say that she was Pat Nixon, in colored dra g. The cast was rounded out by an older guy who wore a tur ban and talked to the fish in the bowl he carried (I figure him to be Bebe Rebozzo), and a sweet litt le guy with curly ha ir who had to be David Eisenhower with flats on. There was also a special guest , Christop h er Co lumbus , who appeared beca use the cast decided to celebra te the 500th anniversar y\ of his discover y of America (which actuall y won't happen until 1992, but the cast decided to "be differ ent" ). Chris ' discovery that America had not been named after him and his resulting state of depression served as the basis for most of the show's material. The cast spent the rest of the show trying to cheer Chris up, a task at which they failed miserably . In fact , the only thin g they succeeded in doing was making me feel worse than poor Chris . Their attem pts at gaiety involved inane comic spots , inane songs and the inane chubby Julie who walked around throwing confetti in the air (?). The whole thin g was a miserable bastardization of the "Laugh-In " format , an idea whose time had come and gone. There were no attempts to break new comic ground; the whole show was an attempt to make it with something safe , somethin g "tried and proven " in the ratings wars. As if that wasn 't bad enough, the writers had the audacity to include a spoof of TV talk shows. Once again , it not only failed to amuse , but only succeeded in reminding me that the week before , at the same time, I had been watching Cavett and David Halberstam discuss the letter 's new book on Vietnam. My heart Thea tre * instead ?" That about summed up the whole show's idiot mentalit y. The last high point (and I' m being serious now) involved the screening of two reels of an old Flash Gordo n serial . Since I had never seen a Flash Gordon serial , even "jowls " stupid suspensefilled questions at the end of each reel didn't bother me. But if you've seen Flash Gordon (or if you don 't really care to) you will find nothing here to celebrate. Instead , he trie d to give his aud ience something more than a mindle ss parade of giggling starlets and inflated old comics. He sought out guests ranging far fr om the en ter tainmen t business into such far flung fields as anthro pology, psychology , journalism , criticism , politics and the list could go on forever. Instead of forsaking controver sy for the sake of laughs (like a cert ain other late night I b^ & T>oA -cw j ekW^ i V. £OX ^ 1 sank deeper and I cursed ABC. The show "peaked" at two other points. The first was a spot called " Cap su l e M as t er pi ece Theatre. " It involved "jowls " sitti ng on a darkened sta ge, staring into the camera and summar izing "Gone with the Wind" in sixty seconds.

This is particularly true of man 's relationship to plants : his role has to be considered separa tely from that of any other influence in their envir onment. Man has, in effect, become a new force where plan ts are concerned. As long as man gathered food, collected the fruits of juresut ana me seeoj ana roots oi the fields, he did not differ from ant or squirrel as a par t of nature and his numbers wer e limited accordin gly. Food for the gatherer Is not very abundant. In any type of vegetation ther e are only relatively few plants which provide nourishment , the others are bitter , astrin gent, poisonous , low in food value or indigestible. Thus , the carr ying {capacity of natura l vegetation for man was, and still is, very low.

When Mr. Lau ffer mentioned it to our class at the sta rt of the semester, it seemed like a faroff dream not to be worried about for quite a while. And when the first trip went in October , it was still a month away and pot worth considering. But when November 13 arrived , and the trip was definite for that Friday, the sudden realization of a weekend in Delaware taking salinity readings was like a bucket of coldwat er. So with sleeping bags in hand , we met in Centennial parking lot onFridy, November 17. The trip included a total of sixteen stud ents and Mr. Lauffer.

No booze in the rooms, nomembersof the opposing sexes sharingquarters, no over-all hell-raising. But the legal drinkin g age in Delaware is twenty, so we could go into town for it. And by the way, we'r e going out on the boat on Sunday morning, so do your heavy drinking ,tonite. Fair enough. And three quarters of the student personnel headed downtown. DowntownLewesDelawareisn't toomuch, but it has a few good bars (and a few bad ones m I' told.

Breakfast was a quarter to eight with a full day ahead of us. W e spent the morningvisiting a variety ef places.First , we inspectedt he tide gageset up by the Consortium, and took salinity read ings over the side of the pier. These were to be compared withthe salt content invarying depths, which we took late r. Then we had a tour of the research vessel The Annandale . (It' s sur prising how many people can get seasick while they 're still in port! ) We inspected the entir e ship , f rom the bridge to the galley to the research labs. F rom there we went t o look at the f acilities used by the University of Delaware for oceanographic work, more salinit y readings , some informationon currents, * and then back for lunch. irito groups of four, with as fair a mixture as For Saturday afternoon we were split possible so that no group would get stuck with too many English or Soc majors. Then to the beach. Each grou p took measureme nts with a strange pair of sticks so that a graph could be made of the coastline. Fro m there we trav eled au the way around the tip of the cape so that we could compare the ocean coastline to the bay coastline. The bay side had more marine life and wind marks ripplin g the sand. Most of the students , however, were more interested in picking up shells and the Bio majors had a field day ! From there we proc eeded to anoth er coastline for more salinity read ings and a look at some sharks , then home to the fish factory and dinner. , _,, Saturday night was far less eventful than Friday.
