Fact or Fa llacy: . Unidentified Flying Objects over BSC? Recent photos taken in the fields near Bloomsbur g may or may not show vehicles from for eign pla nets , but they are unidentified flying objects . The question is, where did they come from? (Untouched photos by Bob Oliver ) By Barb Wanchisen "I believe that UFOs exist. When I was in the service some of the guys I knew were scope operators and they tracked some things they weren't sure of...like objects traveling around 5,000 miles per hour that would suddenly drop dead." This was related by Jim Parker , a BSC student. Another ^barrage of UFO sittings were reported over the United States as well as the Soviet Union at the end of last month. This recent occurance is somewhat similar to the UFO reports of 1968 when many people saw • unexplained flashing lights in the sky around the same periods of time. This renewal of interest over this controversial subject has brought a diversity of opinions on camDus. "I won't believe in UFOs until I actually see one. I think there are so many physical explanations about these things....I don't know, there may be something to it but I'm not convinced that all these things people see are UFOs," stated Mr. Lauffer, Assistant Professor of Geography. Some Students May Have Sighted UFOs A few students believe that they may actually have seen UFOs first-hand. "When I was in eleventh grade I saw pulsating flashing lights disappear over a hillside—I saw it for 'about five seconds. Other people saw it too and they couldn't explain it either. There are a lot of case histories and I guess I do believe in them because there is too much positive evidence pointing towards UFOs," related Randy Gathman. Howard Blanck is another student who believes he may have seen a UFO. "'I saw a bunch of flashing lights in the sky once but I'm not sure if they were UFOs. I do believe in them • — I believe that there 's definitely life on other planets." Many UFO sitings have been proven by the Air Force to be balloons, radar quirks, optical illusions and other natural phenomena ; However , there have not been explanations for the sitings and it is this factor that leavesthe question opened as to whether they exist or not. As Dr. Carlough, Department Chairman of Philosophy, stated, "I am a product of -a scientific age and I believe there are rational explanations for UFOs. However, many of these reports have not come from easily-excitable people and I can 't reconcile these two factors....! don't find it inconceivable that there is life on other planets." Inside : 2.

Fall Husk y | Wrap up I CGA Appr oves Community Activities Fee Increased for 1974-75 By Kim McNally Few things have been able to escape the inflationary rise in prices over the last ten years and now the BSC student' s Community Activities Fee is no exception. Fee raised At Monday's meeting of the Government Community Association, it was voted that the present yearly fee of $50 will be raised by ten dollars for the academic year of 1974-75. CGA Vice President John James presented the proposal, stating that "while the population of BSC has stabilized , the activities and programs here have continued to grow." Treasurer Bob Oliver continued by reporting that more money was needed "just to keep up" with expenses, without having to resort to "cut-backs in important areas." Nine dollars of the hiked fee will go toward community activities, while the remaining dollar will contribute to the Commonwealth Association of Students, a union formed by the 14 state colleges to lobby for state schools in Harrisburg. Security Sa lary hike Another matter brought up at the meeting was a wage increase requested by BSC's security personnel. Don Springman, Vice President for Administrative Services, spoke to the association on this matter , presenting the problem as being in "the area of collective bargaining." Dr. Springman continued by stating that the .requesting four dollars an hour for security men was "not bottom line ," and that "nothing is getting cheap." "This is a labored negotiative situation ," he reported , "as are almost all such situations , now that evervone is in a union ." During discussion of the topic, the possibility of a student auxiliary security force was brought up, but ended in the decision that "responsibility should be put in the hands of those who are liable." Steve Andrejack , President ol CGA , com mented on a bill • currently before the state legislature which would provide state funds for the security of priv ate colleges in Pennsylvania and its subsequent unfairness to (he state school . After the decision to hire only the specific , minimum number of security personnel at the raised wage. Dr. Spingman that stated his belief "prevention is the best cure" and that he was prepared to "stand ready to explain his rationale " in any security situation. Park dona tion The CGA also voted the donation of $300 to the Town Park Association as a "token public relations move" and in appreciation of student use of town park facilities during the course of the school year. During discussion of this motion , it was also suggested that a committee be formed to make more BSC facilities open to the townspeople. For the first time in recent years, the CGA decided not to accord money for the purchase of (he sixty some campus Christmas trees. John Mulka , Director of Student Activities and the College Union , proposed that a committee be formed to find out how many trees were actually needed and if dorms and other campus organizations would donate money for trees. Dr. Donald B. Springman , Vice-President for Administrative Services (seated at left ), was a guest at Monday eveni ng 's CGA meeting. Springman spo ke on a wage increase requested by BSC ( Photo by D. Schneider ) securit y personnel. Items of Interest Calenda r endor sed Next year 's calendar was endorsed by the CGA as presented by Bob Oliver as a member of the Senate Calendar Committee. This calendar provides for school to open after Labor Day next year and the academic year to close a week earlier in the spring. In other matters , it was moved that fifty complimentary tickets be alloted to the area jayce es for each of two home basketball games, one wrestling match and one - football game. These will be for non-peak games. OBITER PICTURES Only a short time remains to sign up and have pictures taken for the 1974 Obiter. If you have not signed up by now , please do so by November 30.

Dirt Band Revi ew By Pat Farnack To anybody who missed the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at Susquehanna University Chapel , Sunday night — you missed a very fine show. The chapel , acoustically speaking, was far more effective for this band than any gymnasium could have been. The size of the crowd and the auditorium was intimate enough to promote maximum rapport between band and listeners. A three-man band , the "Heavy Metal Kids ," played warm-up. Harmony stood out on a few of the lesser-known Neil Young tunes and their nimblefingered feature guitarist ' was worth y of note . Their best number , an original enti tled "The American Image ," told of how people overseas look at the American and showed a-band with definite potential. Either microphone or voice projection pro blems , however , made a f ew w ords and commen ts barejy a udible at s pots. The cr owd waited for 15 minut es before t he entrance of the feature act — the Dirt Band. They started off slow with a nottoo-impressive 50's golden — "Ra inbow ." After that , the ir pick-up was quick and evident. The wav the erouD members ro t ated the i r i ns t ruments , rem inding me of rotations in a vo ll ey ball game , reall y showed their i ncredible versat i lity . momen t There was never a dull — -.. —m-n, ^^ = — . . . as their act included comedy, a fantastic array of musical showmanship and even a serious meditative piece, as the bass-mandolin-banjo player went solo with a recitation of a Stephen Vincent Benet poem to banjo accompaniment. a iew oi ineir numDers included Mike Murp hy's "Cosmic Cowboys, " their f amous Jerry Jeff Walker tune "Mr. Bojangles " ; (minus their accordionist , which I never missed) and thei r other hit single "House at Pooh Corner.

Sincerely, James H. McCormick P res i dent Mor a l of Bill y Jack By Tim Bossard So much of "Bill y Jack " is sc good, so potentially incisive and moving, that the inferior treatment it receives is almost a crime. It' s aim , I think , is to build a kind of folk hero who arises out of a need crea ted by the contemporary American "Zeitgeist" and who appeals-to j a certain feeling of helplessness 'in all of us toward society in general . Yet the film suffers a basic hypocrisy : it is a didactic film , intent on telling us what its moral is, while at the same time it shows us a moral tha t it is in direct opposition to the sta ted one. As many know , "Billy Jack" concerns the efforts of a southwestern free school to survive in the midst of local redneck opposition . The conflict is triggered when the pregnant daughter of a local deputy sheriff flees to the school for emotional help. Billy Jack , a half-breed Indian who materializes from nowhere to protec t the much-abused school kids, takes the already corrupt law into his own hands , dealing out justice as he sees fit. The ensuing struggle for the runaway girl results in assorted quarrel s, beatings , rapes and murders . At last , having vengefully slaughtered a particul arly hateful townsman , Billy J ack is cornered by local and stat e police. He surrenders , on the condition that the school is allowed to continue - uninterrupted. The moral , as point ed out in numerous discussion , is that one's impulse to hate must be conquered by love to make the world habitable . , If this resolutio n sounds simplistic , I suspect it is because the producers were so concerned with filling the film ful l of violent , ticket-selling action that they neglected to think it through. I came away feeling, as many did , that I'd enjoyed the film , that I empathized with the free-scho olers the picture 's and that popularity was a result of massiden tification with the love-andpeace tenets of the kids. But was it? Is the picture 's popularity due as much to a pacifist philosophy as it was to the scenes of Kun g-fu, - flesh- ¦ ¦ BBi aiiMaBHiiH m ^h^h ^^ vaH ¦ ¦ ¦ « ^m^m ^"^ « w^^ mm w^mm ^^^ b m i wm^m so important , so lnaisp ^nsaoie , to show us the close-up of the deputy with a bullet-hole in the face after we already know he's dead? This is the hypocrisy of "Bill y Jack ." Would the film be so well-received by the public if all of the violent action were omitted? Technically , the movie is amateurish . T. C. Frank overdirected outrageousl y, shooting every scene from every possible (please turn to page eight) Simpso n Curse By Duane Long Dr. Blake had come all the way from Dover , England to uncover the probab le cause of Charlie 's death. He became aware ot Charlie 's writi ngs through hjs daughter , with whom Simpson corres ponded. Blake was now 87 years old. His health was failing but he would not rest until he was certain that the superna tural was not involved. If it was involved, We Wo n't Stop By Mark Haas So BSC is facing a financial crisis similar to many factions of the U.S. This became evident to me when 1600 people turned up in Haas Audi torium one night. (The last time Haas had a crowd that big was when Elvis Presley 's gardener gave a talk on the nightlife of geraniums. ) Before that eventful evening, I did not realize the magnitude of the problem we were facin g. A few days of concentra ted thinking on this subject aw a kened w it hin me a plan to p rocure t he sorel y neede d money . If the students , facult y and all concerned follow my careful ly-guided plan , the allev iat ion of t his immense pr edicament w ill b ecome real ity in a ma tt er of days. Plan 1. First , we must pool all availabl e mone y from individuals associated w ith the college. This money will be channeled toward the Berw ick Lumber Yard , where we w ill purcha se enough lumber to bui ld a Tro j an Horse , 800 feet high and 300 feet wide. The thum ping action ? Is Billy Jack admired because of his intelligence and love or because he is handy with his fists ? Why did I feel, when a deputy sheriff was* killed , that the dirty sonofabitch got jus t what he deserved? Less , I suspect , because I am prone to such feelings than because I was coerced by the film into feeling them. Why, for instance , was it horse will have a face similar to Richard Nixon 's and a body such as Sophia Loren 's. When finished , the horse will be wheeled to the White House to proclaim BSC' s allegiance to the Presidenc y. The White House , so overw helmed by this showing of patrio tism , will adopt the horse as a symbol of democrac y. The apparently solid horse will have inside seven carefull y selected men from the college. Their qualifications will be tha t their last name begins with a Z and that they have had an ear infecti on within the last year. Th ese seven men w ill under t ake a most darin g heist. They will secre tly gain ent rance into the W hi te H ouse and steal t he two missing Wa tergate Tapes. These t apes w ill be used as ransom ; the sum of money will be staggering and old BSC w ill have enough green backs t o keep Jt ru nning for 100 years , Plan 2. Any knowledgea ble stra tegist alwa ys has an alternate plan. This is mine. W e however , he would see it destroyed. Blake sipped a cup of tea and chatted with Reyburn , as they sat at the table at a small cafe in Scranton. Blake told Al about the creature called Markos . One , item which was not included in Robert Simpson's diary which concerned Markos was the abduction of a young girl from a neighboring village. The girl' s name was Cynthia Bower and the description of her captor matched that of Markos. Over 20 years after the death of Markos and Robert' s departure , mass murders occurred in Yorkshire County, England. The condition of the bodies found after the murders was iden tical to the condition of the besieged Simpson 's dead. Authorities were hesitant in laying the blame on the Simpenn e Similar murders occurred in Edinburgh , Scotland, Londonderry, Nort hern I rela nd and Belfast , I rela nd , over a 30 year span following the Yorkshire killings. Eyewitness reports described a young woman dres sed in black velvet . The descr iption matched that of Cynthia Bower , even in the most recen t set of murders which occurred in 1969, dur ing the rel igious fighting which was tak ing place in Belf ast. Dr. Blake pulled a report from his brief case and ha/ided it to Al. It contained the 'transcri pts of auto psies performed on seven murder victims. Dates ranged from September 18, 1938 to April 29, 1969.

I ¦ ^ ¦ r + •" Pic tures In A Galle ry b y the Coll eg e Comm unity Orc h es tra By Scott Zahm I wondered into Haas Arts Center several evenings ago. I was not seeking anything in particular, so when I stumbled upon Gentle John Master 's College Community Orchestra in rehearsal it was to my surprise and great pleasure. Somehow it is always a lift to discover that that nameless face across some crowded lecture hall has music or art behind it. And there were faces i nave seen over ana over through the semester steeped in concentration over intricate scores. There is a feeling of "suddenly I know something of someone I knew little of." Then the music is played and somehow one relates to it a bit more. Perhaps it is a capitalization on this sort of intimacy generated by the College Community Orchestra , maybe it is simply coincidence; but the music that will be performed in Monday's concert is in a large part composition of a style that is relevant to a collegiate audience. - For example, a fanfare from Aaron Copland, "Fanfare for the Common Man " is perhaps the most famous in existence today. But it is Copland himself , a composer who entered new frontiers of contemporary sound, to which the student will style, relate. Copland' s developed at the turn of the century, is only now being accepted and imitated by others. Shades of Copland can be detected throughout work done by groups more advanced in composition such as Yes, Emerson , Lake, and Palmer and the old B.S&T. Another tune the orchestra will perform has been recorded by Emerson , Lake, and Palmer on "Pictures at a Gallery." "The Great Gate of Kiev" was composed by a Russian , who was Moussorgsky, simultaneously an alcoholic and a dope addict. Many can undoubtedl y relate to the disillusionment evident in this composer's life and music. At the other end of the spectrum there will be a harp solo played . by Emily Oppenheimer and composed by an American named Grandjany . Grandjany might be called a harp advocate. He has devoted the greater part of his professional career to gainer popular acceptance of the harp. The College Community Orchestra was formed three years ago by John Master. It has progressed from the original seven members to the full-blown 60 member orchestra that exists today. Photos by It is interesting to note that John Master has taught eighty percent of the string section. Orchestra members come from the college community including student body, faculty and town. Rehearsals are weekly. Sectional and private instruction fall between formal rehearsals, in addition to much individual practice. There is a lot of work here. Paul Bixler Sto ry by Scott Zah m The CCO presents basically two concerts a year. The fall concert is to be held on Monday in Carver at 8:15 p.m.' In addition , a children's concert is held each spring. Last year's children's concert was played to an audience of two thousand spellbound kids. It was such a success that two Kiddie Concert performances are necessary this year to accommodate more children . The orchestra is looking forward to Monday in expectation of its best performance. A packed house is expected so it might be wise to get over to Carver early for a good seat. The concert begins at 8:15 p.m. and is free of charge to all.

Americans "mess ar ound " By Molly Dal to n Maurice Chew is a senior at BSC with a major in chemistry. However, there is one major difference where Maurice is concerned , his hometown is Hong Kong. This is Maurice 's fourth year at BSC. He plans to graduate in May and attend school in Canada . Maurice is a person who doesn 't like to stay in one place too long. He looks forward to graduation and moving on. During hj s stay in Bloomsburg he has found the people in this country very open and easy to get to k'now. In his capacity as Maurice Chew an R.A. in Elwell Hall he noticed that Americans have a greater tendency to "mess around. " In fact , their actions sometimes remind Maurice of things he did when he was in junior high school. On the whole, he has met many .fine people and likes the atmosphere of BSC. The town of Bloomsburg is too quiet for Maurice's tastes. Compared to Hong Kong with its millions of people, Maurice finds there is little to do in Bloomsburg. "There is not enough going on. " The financial crisis at BSC has affected Maurice also. One of his advanced courses in Chemistry may not be offered next semester due to lack of funds. If so, Maruice may not be able to graduate as planned in May.. He jokingly commented that it was not a good time to get someone's opinion of a place during a financial crisis. When asked about his job as an R.A., Maurice found the position favorable. He said he is a different kind of R.A. mainly because of the fact that in Hong Kong being a student is considered serio.us. He finds it hard to understand why students here have such a great need to let off steam . However , Maurice enjoys his job and feels he has accomplished something (please turn to page eight) Eric of Ghana active By Peggy Moran Fraternity brother, a student, newspaper reporter and radio newscaster all describe an involved student, but when he is an exchange student , from Ghana , you have got an extraordinary person on your hands.

Why did Vince come to college? Well , to get anywhere in the business world nowadays one needs a good education.

The area he g rew u p i n wa s mounta inous; there were trees around and also many rivers and springs.

In some areas, Hilary explained there areji lot of differences. For instance, no tv's. When comparing schools though , she feels that the schools in Cape Town are basically like those here — a bit more advanced perhaps, and definitely not as expensive! "Back home, though, not as many kids go on to college." Living in a small town like Berwick cannot , of course , compare to living in a large city like Cape Town. Hilary likes them both for what they each offer.

Cecelia Chan Fall Spo rts Season En ds By Rill Sipler This year 's fall sports went from good to bad and had their usual miscues and hassels. It saw the football team turn in a conference leader , three 1000 yard career rushers and a 2000 yard career passer. The Women's Hockey Team had hassels about a coach and ended up the season with a third place finish in the S.F.H.A. tournament. Three members of the football team , Mike Devereaux , George Gruber and Joe Geiger , rushed for over 1000 yards each in their respective careers as the Husky Gridders posted a 4-5 record. Geiger also passed for 2000 yards in his career as the entire Husky offensive backfield closed out its career at BSC. Line Welles was the conference's leading punter. On defense , Charley Bender was the top pointman with 171 points. Members of the Cross country team during a meet. The Huskies rebounded from last years disastrous record to an even 5-5 record.

This may be easily done by letting out a news leak that Frank Rizzo deeps at night * with a teddybear. Knowing Shapp's warm relationship with Rizzo, he will rush down to BSC in an attempt to disprove our statement. He will give a speech in Haas Auditorium and only three people will show up; a student teacher, a prof with six years tenure and a corpse. They will explain to Shapp that the* lack of attendance was caused by the fact that 99 per cent of the students had to go home and work to help support their starving parents. This appeal of poverty will immediately cause Shapp to issue more money to our college. He will also buy a bottle of Clearasil to help ~improve the corpse 's disfigured face . He might even ask the student teacher to join his governing board. This move can only help BSC since this person will fight toward further fiscal allocations for the college. Plan 3. In the event that the first two fail , I propose that we turn the college into a large Dirt Band ( from page three) Their harmony was so clear and mellow ; their voices blended easily into one. Drumming was soft and easy with any hard-driving rhythm done by washboard bass, as in one Earl Scruggs number or carried away by wild fiddling, really made visual by their spastic fiddler. There was quite an array of instruments on stage Sunday night — mandolin , steel guitar , acoustic guitar, bass and regular fiddle, harmonica and a small portable organ. It was a long, appreciated concert — stretching out to over two hours.

Somehow the chosen mate of Markos had propagated an entire family of creatures, and these creatures had killed Charles Simpson, the one person who knew the most about them. Now the three remaining members of the Simpson family were threatened. Earlier that day when Al and Dr. Blake followed the trail of blood through the fields, they found nothing. They followed the trail into the twilight hours. It then became too dark to continue the search. They would set out for the mountains where the trail was lost at the morning light. In the meantime, Al would spend the night at the Simpson 's farm outside of Berwick. Before starting out for the' farm , Al visited a gunsmith by the name of Steve Hobbs. Hobbs cast him a box of silver bullets, and inserted some of them into his .357 magnum caliber Python service revolver. Reyburn then left the shop for the Simpson farm.
