With a commitment to provide a quality, affordable education for all qualified students. Bloomsburg combines the tradition of an institution founded in 1839 with modern learning, living, and recreational programs and facilities. Commonwealth funding provides 55 percent of Bloomsburg's annual operating budget. Undergraduate students may enroll in degree programs in 64 areas of study in the arts and sciences, business, teacher education, nursing, and health sciences. A program in engineering is offered in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University, and preparation for post-baccalaureate study at professional schools is offered. Unique educational opportunities are available through advanced placement, study abroad, professional practicum, internships, independent study and the Center for Academic Development programs. At the graduate level, the master's degree is offered in 25 areas of study and there are 10 supervisory certification programs in the field of teacher education. Extended program offerings provide continuing, life-long learning opportunities for people of all ages and educational interests through non-degree courses, non-credit mini-courses, international studies and exchanges, cooperative education, courses offered at off-campus locations and by public service television, and credit for work experience. Enrollment for the Fall semester, 1982, totalled 6,240 students. There were 4,879 full-time and 867 part-time undergraduates, and 105 full-time and 389 part-time graduate students. Instruction is provided by a 350-member faculty. The University's 173-acre campus overlooks the town of Bloomsburg and the scenic Susquehanna Valley. Carver Hall, built in 1867, provides a contrast with the modern facilities that include seven residence halls, a library, a 2000-seat auditorium, student union, dining hall, gymnasium, administration building, four classroom buildings, athletic fields, and recreational areas on the lower campus. An athletic complex and recreational area occupy the school's 100-acre upper campus. In addition, the James H. McCormick Center for Human Services is currently under construction on the lower campus. Located less than two miles from an Interstate 80 interchange, and 22 miles from Interstate 81, Bloomsburg is within one hour's driving time from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Hazleton , and Williamsport, 1 ½ hours from Harrisburg, 2½ hours from Philadelphia, and 3 hours from New York City. The community is 45 miles from the Avoca International Airport and is serviced by major bus lines. Bloomsburg has an enviable placement record. Of the 1,127 who graduated in the 1981-82 academic year, 80% had meaningful employment or were in graduate school one year later. Active files of over 25,000 living alumni are kept by the college. Graduates of BU have distinguished themselves in areas including law, medicine (one is a Nobel Laureate), science, architecture, education, industry and research. The Bloomsburg University is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Pennsylvania State Board of Education. Spring Outlook While having their youngest team in history, the Huskies may also field one of their most talented squads ever to perform at the school. The lineup will most likely include at least two freshmen and several sophomores. There are no seniors and just two juniors listed on the 11-man roster. As was the case in the past several seasons when the team could be considered "top heavy", such is not the case in 1983-84 as depth will be BU's forte' and could be the best ever. During the fall season, the Huskies posted a 5-0 mark extending their fall unbeaten string to 54 matches and also made three tournament appearances. Although Bloomsburg did not place among the leaders in the events, the young team showed the potential to be competitive with the many strong teams on its spring slate. In its own invitational tourney, Bloomsburg finished tied for sixth and following that, the Huskies made their second appearance in the prestigious Navy tournament where they finished eighth. For the fourth straight year, Bloomsburg was the only NCAA Division II school to receive an invitation to the ECAC's Fall Division I Championships. The team tumbled to a 14th place finish in 1983 after finishing 10th in each of its first three visits to the event. The schedule for the spring, although possibly not as strong as in the past few seasons, will more than test the young team. The match slate includes nine Division I opponents, as well as two perennially strong Division II squads in Hampton Institute and Mercyhurst along with the usual Pennsylvania Conference opposition. Coach Burt Reese's unit will be out to achieve three major goals as the season rolls around with the annual "southern swing" in midMarch. In addition to a "solid" dual match record, BU will be seeking its sixth straight PC title and have one or more players earn an invitation to the NCAA Division II Championships for the seventh year in a row. +· i' t • .,, +·~ ... .... . t. .. ,,1-,•t:~ ,. ,..
