, Huskies Rout Chevnev 73-63 By Dale Myers The Cheyney wolves chased their tails around the Husk y court during the basketball contes t last Wednesda y which was the turning p oint f or this y ear 's roundball conferen ce. With the final score of 73-63, t he H usk ies formed t he three wa y . tie with Ch eyney and M illersville , wh i ch was narrowed down to just the Wo lves a nd the Hu skies last Saturday night when Miller. sville lost to Mansfield. Ognosk y Went Wild According t o the pr ogram fea ture on Mike Ognosky, he "has proven to be an invaluable pla yer f or th i s year 's Husky basketball team. " To say the least, O gnosky went wild. The 5 11" junior from Moscow leaped off the bench midway through the f irst half and sparked the Huskies to their fantastic victory over Cheyney, before a standing room onl y crowd at Nelson Fiel d House. Joh n Willis, as the team 's leadin g scorer with 25 points , proved to be another spark i n t he Huskies ' flame . Willis also hauled down 13 rebounds , while guard Tony DeRe gave another solid performance meshing 14 points and showing some excellent floor pla y. Forwards Gary Ty ler and Rich Evans contributed stron g second half p erformances canning six and ten points res pectively, and also p laying the good defense needed to keep the explosive Cheyney offense at bay .. As a team the Huskies forced Cheyney into numerous turnovers with pressure defense. They were also able to get Cheyney 's 6*10" Bill Allen and 6'9" Vince Ellison into foul J ohn Willis muscled inside for a bucket. He also drew a foul on the play and converted the 3 p t . pla y to bring the Huskies within 5 at 20-15. Da Re netted a five footer and Ognosky again was good from t he foot of t he circle to pull the Huskies within one. This act ion ignited the crowd. The chant of "Defense, Defense" rocked the Field House. The Huskies rose t o the occasion with a tenac i ous 2-2-1 full court zone press to f or ce C he y ney into a t urnover and give the Huskies a chan ce for the lead at 4:22 . Ognosky drew a f oul and sw ished both ends of a 1 + 1 to give the Huskies a 25-24 lea d at 4:03 . Cheyney , no t to be denied , w orked to big man Vince E llison who rammed four straight poi nts to put the Wolves back in front by 28-25. Cheyn ey t hen scored two more f ield goals by By rd and Le on Bell wh ile holding the Huskies to but one foul shot to extend their lead to 32-26. Howeve r , once again Og nask y burned the cords from 18 ft. to pull the Huskies to within four at 32-28 as the first half bu zzer sounded . Second Ha If Action In the second half action , which was marred by five technical fouls , the Huskies got a break as Allen picked up his fourth persona l foul at 17:18. The Huskies took full advantage of this and worked inside to Willis . The Huskies cut the Wolves lead to 38-36 but Byrd fired in a 25 footer to give Cheyney some breathing room at 40-36. The Huskies then came right back as Willis scored on a nifty assist from DaRe and Rick Evans hit the offensive board hard for a tip-in to knot the score at 40. Cheyney 's Ellison then hit one trouble and then went to work of two from th e charity stripe to inside . give Cheyney the lead once Game (n Tight Zones again at. 41-40.

( Pic by S. White ) L ett e rs to th e Editor To the editor, On behalf of the Greeks on this campus, I feel a responsibility to respond to the editorial of last Friday 's M & G. As you mentioned, fraternities and sororities are old institutions here and maybe it is time you ask yourself why. As a member of a social sorority on campus, I feel qualified to speak on the many aspects of Greek life including the biannual month of pledging. In your editorial, you raised questions as to the relevance of the various pledging activities and traditions that go on; on this campus as well as on every college campus in the United States. To outsiders looking in , the reasons for such activities may seem vague , but one must real ly belong to such an organization to realize the full meaning behind pillows , paddles and bags , as well as t he pledges menial tasks sometimes perform . Sisterhood and Brother hood is way of life tha t often requires a the tolerance and acceptance of other 's ideas and beliefs as well as learnin g to do things for others , not because they ask you to. but because you wan t to do them. It is also a union of people with close ties , relatin g to each other as a whole , but more as individua ls. importantly, Pledgin g is a process by which these ties are acquired and only a person who has gone through this period can know you understand t he pur pose behi nd it . It is not a " well-kept secret ," for it is the pledge who sees and unders t ands the meani ng of s i s t erhood and br o therho od , and is striving to be a part of it. I n no wa y do t he sororit i es try t o imitat e their "male counas p ledgi ng ter parts. " processes between sor orities and frate rnities diffe r greatly in procedure. It is useless for an outsider to try to draw comparisons , conclusions and answers ab out the vari ous activ ities of pledging , because they sim ply cann ot be real i zed y unless experience d. The w orld does stru ggle with progress and problems but a G reek' s con t ribution t o th e world ahea d is more per tinent than som e people can see. Belonging to a sororit y or a fraternit y is much more than G reek letters on a j acket , a pillow, a paddle , or a task , althou gh we are proud of all of these. Havi n g a sister or a brother is the first step In total realization of what our human race is all about and the patience and understanding it often will take to succeed in it. And although there will always be those who doubt and ridicule, there will always be ten times as many who say GO GREEK '.!!!! Tricia Cove Inter-Sorority Council President. Dear Editor : This letter is in reply to the editorial that appeared in the February 13, 1974 issue of the Maroon and Gold, concerning Senior Class Dues. I feel it is my responsibility as President of the Class of 1973-74 to clear up the doubts raised by students who read the editorial. The Senior Class, like any other organization on campus, has a budget to work from which is audited every year by a College official. Ours is a large budget but it is a very tight one. In checking with College officials , no mishandling of funds has ever been revealed to the best of their knowledge. Any money left over after a class leaves Bloomsburg is automatically put into a fund to be used for Class Reunions. It is true that yearbooks are paid for out of Community Activities funds and not Senior Class Dues as stated in the August Newsletter. I have enclosed a copy of the budget of the Class of 1973-74 so everyone will be able to see exactly how the money is being used. I ho pe t hat th i s w i ll once and fo r all answ er t he man y quest ions concerning the use and val i dit y of the Senior Class Dues an d that the overwhelm i n g coo peration of Seniors thus far in paying their dues will continue. Sincerely . Pat K anous e Gas Shor tage not criti cal in Bloom By Karen Stork With the approach of spring semester break, many students are concerned with the area gas situation and getting home for the much-needed vacation . Prior to this year many of us took the availability of gasoline for granted. Nowadays we think twice about making unnecessary trips in the car or just cruising around. However, the gas shortage does not seem quite as critical in the immediate Bloomsburg area as in other spots in Pennsylvania. Students, hopefully, will be able to fill up their tanks before March break brings the long trip home. Some Bloomsburg stations are now temporarily out of gas until their monthly allocation arrives Thursday the 1st of March , in time for the mass student gas up before vacation. But the consensus of policy among the Bloomsburg service stations appears to be no rationing according to Governor Milton Shapp's designated rationing plan and no striking. Hours of sale have in many cases been reduced and sales are usually limited to $3.00 p e r customer. The current prices are 49.9 and 53.9. However , stations are authorized to raise pri ces one tenth of a cent with t he March all oca ti on. It seems impossible that only six months ago the price of gasoline was approximately 32.9 per gallon . The Bloomsbu rg Mobil service station on Lightstreet Road and Ma in Street has not complied with rationing or striking. Purchases are limited to three dollars. The station is closed on Sunda ys. G as is pum ped from 7:00 a.m. til 9:00 at nigh t, unt il the supply is exhausted.

To say the least , it was distracting. It was obvious that both Port and Flick were doing their best in the play; unfortuantely, their best wasn't good enough. Excellent in the supporting role of Aunt Ella was Graduate Assistant Becky Ermisch. Showing an amazing ability to carry a tune, in a soft but true soprano, Ermisch stole the show with her performance and her one song. Warm and comfortable , witty and coy, she portrayed the lovable Aunt Ella superbly. Also doing his usual fine job was John Robbins , a graduate of BSC, portraying the Syrian merchant. Robbins did a wonderful interpretation of the humorous shifty shyster.

But to Father Bernard Petrina of BSC and Bucknell University it is "a real commitment to give an explanation of the Catholic faith to those interested in listening." Recently appointed as Chairman of the National Board of Diocesan Directors of Catholic Campus Ministries, he believesthat his post represents "a Catholic presence to the campus that can be of benefit to its social and ethical wellbeing." According to Fr. Petrina , of the twelve regions of the country each chooses one rpnresentative to the National Board Father was first chosen as a representative of the Harrisburg area , then as representative of the diocese of New Jersey and Pennsylvania before being appointed to the National Board . The Board is a Hason between the Department of Higher Education of the U. S. Catholic Conference (which includes all the bishops of the U.S.) and the over 200 dioceses in the United States. The purpose , Father explained, is "to help the various regions of the U. S. promote programs which the bishops f eel are th e most i m portant i n expressing the faith ; also to ex press t h e v iews of t h e di ocesan di rectors to t h e bishops." As Cha irman , Fr.

Gary said , "The most intere sting thing was to see how . trial lawyers present evidence to try to sway the jury emotionally, instea d of just presenting the bare facts.

All in all, it seems tha t jury duty is every bit as educational course. as a classroom Petrina resides at Newman House, located behind Elwell Hall. Newman House, acquired in 1971, is the campus headquarters of CCM and a gathering spot for students of all denominations to form discussion groups, study , watch TV or just relax. However, Father is quick to deny that Newman House should' be a club-like affair but should rather be "a ministry of persons serving other persons." As such, its activities are "not intended to be 'small group' programs but rather to give people the chance to encounter and resolve everyday problems of the campus. " In his newly-installed position , Fr. Petrina may recommend ideas and suggestions to be adopted by other campus ministries on the national scale. One of his suggestions has been "Feedback ," a once-a-year compilation of student and faculty opinions on issues concerning the Christian community . "'Feedback' gives the campus an opportunity to say something to the Church and gives the 'other side' a ch ance to know where the students stand on various issues." Past Feedbacks have included such topics as love and marriage, the changes in the Catholic Church and most recently, political questions. Copies are sent to numerous individuals and cam p uses an d h ave b een commended by Senators Schweiker and Curry and even by President Nixon . In addition to his roles as chairman and chaplain , Father is a consultor to the Bishop of Harrisburg. This job entails a 15 pr iest board of adv isors to meet with the bishop and discuss Church problems in Central Pa. He is also on the Advisory Board of the Diocesan Office of Planning, a 12 person panel which reviews individual parishes and organizational plans of every Catholic community over a two-year period. Some areas that this group investigates include social services, communications and 'CCM . Fr. Petrina is repor ted to be "still formulating idea s for the future " so if you 'd like to meet him come down to Newman House , behind Elwell. Bring suggestions, comments and an open mind , for he is always willing to listen . St udents in Harrisburg B e ne may stop at any point in the event. The organizers of the ride are appealing to the students here at BSC to look for sponsors during their Easter vacation. Sponsors may offer any amount of money per mile that the student participa tes. The money raised from the ride will be divided in two ways : thirty percent of the funds will be allocated to the statewide for Association Penna. Retarded Citizens , which see to it that the retarded in Pennsylvania are granted their rights as citizens. The remainder of the money will be used in aiding the retarded locally and in organizing an adult chapter of the Columbia Association for Retarded children in Columbia County, which at present is not available in the county. Funds from last year's ride will be used to organize a rubella immunization camDaien in Columbia County in the elementary and pre-school level this spring. Rubella is a significant cause of Mental Retardation , a needless one, because it can be eliminated through immunization. Campus organizations offering their services will be Alpha Phi Omega , the national service fraternity, Lambda Alpha Mu , service sorority and Youth Columbia Association for Retarded Citizens (CARC) , under the direction of Miss Barrall of the Special Education Department in conjunction with the Youth CARC at Bloomsburg High School. Further information about the ride will be given at a later date. But all we need to remember now is to be nice to the people at home during vacation . They might consider acting as sponsors. Any questions may be directed to Mary Ann McGuire at 389-2170 or Margaret Butera at 389-2777. y Val ry O'Con ll Students in most colleges usually find it hard to make ends meet and most decide to go the loan route to finance their education . But many problems sometimes arise, from a supposedly high family income to finding a lending institution that will provide the funds for the student. But the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has in the past provided a unique service in its financial assistance to college students, both undergraduates and graduates. Besides its Grant Program which provides outright gifts of money to needy students , the state has a Guaranty Loan Program in effect. This system makes available low interest loans for students whose family income bracket lies between $10,000 and $15,000 annually by paying the monthly interest premiums to the banks until the student graduates. House Bill 1751 makes a few revisions to this measure and Bloomsburg State College stu dents were present at a hearing in Harrisburg on Wednesday, February 20, concern ing this measure. Valery Charlie Bender , O'Connell and Sue Sweigart traveled to the Capitol as guests of Re p resentat i ve Ben j am i n Wilson , Chairman of the House Sub-Committee on Higher Education . They gave their su pp ort t o his p roposal after asking a few questions and hav i ng t hei r doubts resolved. The proposed measure empowers the Pennsylvania H igher E ducation A ssistance Agency wtyh the right to establ ish a central lending fund t o make direct loans. A t the present time a student may wish to borrow money for schooling but could be turned down by a local bank because he is not a regular customer. This problem occurs especi all y in metropolitan areas where there is a shorta ge fo money for any type loan. Also the bill will give a chance for students with a pa rental income between $15,000 and $25,000 per year to borrow funds but these students must pay their own monthly interest , The hearin g itself prov ided an ( pleas * turn to page eight) Chairwom an Mary Ann McGuire and Assistant Margaret Butera , are shap ing up for P.ide-A-Bike day on Sunda y, April 21.
