This college had an ordinary arrangement , as far as colleges go. Students came , s pent one year each as a freshman , sophomore , junior and senior , attended graduation and went their merry way to attempt to seek employment. But somewhere between the end of their senior year and their graduation , there was a very stran ge disappearance which occurred regularly each year. Every graduating senior was required to turn in their class dues in the amou nt of six dollars . They were told that if they didn 't pay this fee, they would not receive their free yearbook (each graduating senior was entitled to one) and they would not receive their diploma. This was all very stran ge to the people in the Yearbook office , because they had never been notified of any list of recaltricent seniors. It was especially stran ge since they received their entire budget from the Community Activities Fee of $50 which was paid by every stude nt each spring. Another strange factor in the Case of the Mysterious Class Dues was that each senior had to pay $5 diploma fee in the spring . So the Dues weren 't being used to pay for diplomas. And each senior also had to pay a cap and gown fee, which meant it wasn't being used for that either. Very mysterious! The question arose : just exactly what was the money being used for? Approximatel y 800 graduating seniors multiplied by six dollars was quite a tidy sum. The search went on. Attempted questio nings of involved administrato rs (both student and facult y) resulted in some mumb led comments of "Senior Class Gift ," and "Senior Dinner Dance. " Was this the Senior Dinner Dance that was so poorly attended that for several years it had to be called off? What was this mysterious "Gift"? Who had chosen this gift, what was it, where was it now? The Pergola that stands classicly behind Montour Hall has peeling paint and lack of use to attest to the fact that it was the Gift of the Class of 1916. The Stone lions (Leo and Leona ) which once stood at the end of a stone walk next to Carver have long since gone into stora ge — much to the chagrin of the Class of 1912. The miniatu re of the future BSC when all hopes and drea ms are fulfilled still stands in Carver 's main lobby as tribute to the Class of ' 64.But what of all the intervenin g years? No pictures were taken of checks being handed out to deservin g organizations , no press releases were sent by the Senior Class officers. The money seemed to have passed into oblivion.

" Whatever , the Bach and Scarlatti pieces are masterpie ces of their period and Couch per formed them with precisio n and vitality.

Most people do notice those snapping shots at basketball games and wrestling matches but few know anything about those who fill the sports pages with such exciting news. Sports Editor Bill Sipler from Sharon Hill, Pa., heads the department since September, 1973. A part-time sophomore, he supplements his education by working at Carrol's. Bill transferred to BSC from LaSalle College in January 1973 and is working toward a double major in Political Science and English and a certificate in Journalism. An avid hockey nut , he also enjoys hunting, music and playing his guitar. Bill writes songs and poetry and has been recorded on London Records. From Stroudsburg comes Freshman Kim McNally, assistant Sports Editor. A Secondary Ed major in Communications, she worked as a proofreader for the Pocono Record one summer. Experienced in sports writing Kim served as Sports Editor in her senior year of high school. Her interests include horseback riding and the piano, as well as collecting antique junk.- As a tour guide for a two hundred year old Pennsylvania Dutch farm in the Stroudsburg area, Kim learned to milk a cow and spin flax into yarn, dye it and weave some original designs. The sports writing staff consists of two freshmen who both enjoy athletics. Dale Myers from East Berlin, Pa. is an English major with a concentration in Journalism. A sports reporter for his high school newspaper and a member of the basketball , football and baseball teams, he brings much athletic knowledge with him. Working with migrant orchard pickers during the summer, Dale has picked , canned and packed fruits. He also did landscaping work parttime. Craig Winters is a pre-med major from Holmes, who has a craving for journalism and might someday switch his major. His father, a chemist, influenced his choice in pre-med but Craig thinks he has more of a talent in writing. An avid athlete who enjoys fishing, bowling and intramural soccer, Craig was a member of his high school's cross country and track teams. Nat ional Lambs poon By Mark Haas Anyone who has read the book "Future Shock" knows how complex our life is being made by the continual flow of inventions.

The Huskies, led by John Willis who scored 28 of the teams 57 points, forced Mansfield to come out of their zone that had given BSC some problems late in the first half. The freeze BSC put on the ball lasted almost three minutes as they controlled the ball with crisp passing on the outside. Mansfield was forced out of the middle and the Huskies proceeded to put the game away. "They didn't want to play us man to man and we didn't want to play them zone," Coach Chronister stated after the game. "We had the lead so we could dictate the way the game was playod." The Huskies must have dictated fairly well as they overcame the stubborn Mountie zone when they spread it out. On the other end of the ceurt, the Huskies continued strongly on defense as they held Mansfield's top scorer, Walt Winch, to just six points, all of which came in the first half. Mansfield had only two players in double figures. Stanford Mahan had 13 and Leon Haskins had 12. Games Action > BSC opened the game by scoring ten points to four by the Mounties. However the largest lead of the half was only an eight point breach as the Mounties hung on and tied and then took the lead briefly around the six minute mark. The Huskies were able to seek out a lead of five points by the end of the half as Mansfield's shooting took a vacation. The Huskies lead at half time was a slim margin at 32-27. In the second half , using a slow deliberate offense coupled with Mansfield mistakes, the Huskies managed to get their game rolling. The largest lead, 16 points, was only achieved toward the end of the game but the Huskies had built it up throughout the second half. Net Notes Coach Chronister felt "that it' s the mark of a coop team to be able to come out and be able to change their pattern of offensive." He also felt that the officiating was on the poor side. Some of the calls were questioned by the fans as the game slowed down. The Huskies travel to East Stroudsburg tonight to take on the Warriors. J.V. action starts at 6:00 p.m. The J.V.'s are still undefeated. The next home game is February 20 against Cheyney. ¦ ;¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦ :¦ - ¦¦;..¦ . . . ¦ .¦:-, i. ¦ : - "¦¦ ¦/ ¦ '.

(Photo by Staff ) Wres lting Notes By Bill Sip ler The Grapplers of BSC upped their record to 15-3 with their win over Lock Haven last week in what might be termed a sweet victory. The Huskies suffered what Coach Sanders felt was their worst beating by any team. The fact that the Huskies downed Lock Haven in their own gym made the win so much better. But making the fact sweeter was that Dave Brandt returned to action following a knee injury early in the year . Brandt wrestled fairly well , even through he is not completely up to par. Coach Sanders is unsure if Dave will be able to wrestle at the conference meet but he has been getting excellent wrestling from Bill Kaercher , so Brandt will have to improve himself in good style. Bernie Biga is still out with bruised ribs. The Husky Heavyweight might have cartilege damage in the rib cage. Coach Sanders feels that it has been a great year so far and he hopes it will continue in the same vein. The team has put up with a heavy burden in that they practice daily including Sundays, but the outcome has been worth it. The Huskies are ranked forth in the nation in College Division II and seventh over all in the east. I Mike Ognot ki fhoott out off tht cor ntr •• tht Husklti won in a ~ slow down ov« r M«nsfleld .

The I loss dropped the Huskies ' ¦record to 7-4 overall . I The Huskies were paced in I the losing cause by Stu Marvin , ¦ a three event winner and Rich I Kozicki, two firsts and a second. I Marvin triumphed in both the 50 I and 100 yard freestyle events ¦ and combined with Kozicki, I Paul Richards and Dave Slade I to make up a winning 400 I freesty le relay team. Kozicki, in I addition to his role on the 400 I free - relay team, won the 500 yard freestyle and placed I , I second in the 200 yard free. I Oneota I Oneota won the meet in a I simply overwhelming fashion I as they allowed BSC comI . petitors only 4 first place I finishes .on the pay. They also I compiled 4 seconds and 5 thirds I in addition to the 9 firsts to give I them their 64 points. I Oneota's National Champion I Breast stroker, Nido, set a new pool record as he pulled away from the pack to finish in a time of 2:21.69. Nido also took a third in the Individual Medley and swam on the winning 400 medley Individual Medley and swam on the winning 400 medley relay team. Husky Finishers While Marvin and Kozicki accounted for the only individual first place finishes, the Huskies provided the fans with some exciting moments. Team captain Bill Ewell swam a strong ra ce but couldn 't catch Oneota 's O'Donnell in 1000-yard freestyle. Ewell also took a third in the 200 yard Butterfly. Other Husky finishers were Dave Slade, with a second in the 50 freestyle and a third in the 100 free ; Paul Richards, second in the 200 yard Individual medley ; Jim Campbell , third in the 200 yard backstroke; Steve Packer , third in the 200 breast; Eric Cureton , second in the two one meter events and Rich Walters, third in the one meter events. Huskie fans have some more reason to be happy as Dave Thran kept up with Nido in the 200 yard breast. Nido 's quality helped him pull away but Thran shows promise for the future. Swim Notes The Huskie's next home meet is Friday night against West Chester at 7:00 at the Nelson Pool. The meet against Oneota included two one meter events, one required and one optional dives. Each diver had to do five dives during the required event and had his choice of five dives he could do in the optional event.

Women l ose fi rst By Kim McNally at L v com i na BSC's women's swim squad took home their first loss of the '74 season last Saturday but as they left Lycoming College's . .pool under a 53-42 decision, it didn't seem as though the Huskies had lost. One of the main problems for the team was what one of the swimmers termed Lycoming's "crude pool ." Being under regulation length and width , the pool was too small for 200 and 50 yd. events, (160 and 40 yards were swum instead) and an extra lap had to be taken for the 100 yd. matches. Also, due to the four-lane width of the water, only two swimmers from each team could be entered in each event. The Huskies' Tina deVries pulled in the only individual swimming wins of the day for Bloom, as backed by Mary Ruth Boyd and Sue Nickum res p ect i vel y , she took both backstroke events. Tying the pool record with a 25.3 in the 40 yd. event, Tina established a new record in the 160 and left RSf.'s mark at I.veomine with a I I I I ..

BSC's big win event was the one meter diving competition. Although Lycoming's board was set on unfamiliar concrete blocks with no fulcrum control and a shallow eight foot diving depth, Huskie divers Sue White and Pat Seither, backed by novice diver Mary Ann McGuire, took first and second places, gleaning eight points for Bloomsburg. The 100 yd. Freestyle race, which called for five lengths of the short twenty yard pool and a finish at the opposite end , gained four points on the Scoreboard for Bloomsburg, as Linda Williams and Elaine Morenko placed second and third. the Kozicki , Roseann Huskies ' premiere breastst roker , took a second and then a third in the 40 and 100 yd. events, backed by BSC's Babby Buckham.

Connie Corso, Sue White, Linda Williams and Rose Lane, entered in the final event, took seven points for the maroon and gold waterwomen in the 160 yd. Freestyle Relay, thus closing the meet with a victory for BSC. After the meet, Coach Mary Lou Wagner of BSC told the team tha t due to what she termed "lack of proper timing and judging, " the Huskie women wouldn 't sw i m at Lycoming again. "The meet wasn't officially run ," commented Mrs. Wagner. "If Ly com ing wants to come to our pool, we'll welcome them , but as f ar as Bloomsburg is concerne d, it shouldn 't be considered an official meet."
