OFFICE OF
THE PRESIDENT

To the Alumni

The following comments are excerpted from my opening presentation
on our Program Budget review, January 25, 1972.

Bloomsburg State College is making every attempt to keep
abreast of meaningful changes, to develop long range plans, and
to offer valid p\iblic higher educational opportunities to
citizens of the Commonwealth at the lowest possible cost both to
The past two years have seen a
the individual and to the State.
broadening of the governance process including the development
of a College Senate, further decentralization of decision-making
process through strengthening school and departmental organization, more flexible approaches to curricula and programs, the
close evaluation of all offerings and the development of new
instructional methods.
,

,

The College does not consider size as a meaningful objective in itself; growth in numbers is directly relative to
support and to mission.
Demand for admission continues to
increase, but plans for the coming year do not, at this point,
include expansion, in keeping with our understanding of the
Governor's guidelines for State-owned institutions.

The College plans to concentrate in the current decade on
serving the needs of the Commonwealth in the following specific
ways:
to continue to develop elementary and secondary teachers
of quality, and teachers of Special Education areas for which
the need remains significant; to meet some of the manpower needs
of the Allied Health fields, a particular mission of this
College in view of its proximity to and Cooperation with The
Geisinger Medical Center; to continue, through the Arts and
Sciences, the development of young men and women capable of fulfilling roles of citizenship, roles of leadership, and lives
with meaning; to offer strong programs in both Business
Education and Business Administration, and possibly other
occupation-oriented fields, to utilize its facilities and its
resources for purposes of Continuing Education so that life-long
learning opportunities may be available to the people of this
area; to provide within its resources, opportunities for those
with ability not identifiable through traditional procedures of
evaluation; and to offer graduate programs in selected areas
within its resources, mission, and capabilities.

For three years players and spectators alike could usually find out
where the ball was by watching B.S.C.’s big No. 47

A’TTENTION— 1971 GRADUATES
The August, 1971, graduates of BSC
were omitted from the mailing of the
1971 Obiter because the list was not
included with the maiding labels
suppled to the publisher. A special
mailing of Obiters to the August graduates is now underway.
Any 1971 January or May graduates
who have not yet received a copy of
the 1971 Obiter should advise the
staff by writing to Box 219, BSC.
It should be noted that addresses
for mading are provided by the computer center, and are those addresses
of record prior to graduation. In most
cases the addresses are those of parents, and a check should be made with
parents or at former addresses before
reporting the Obiter has not been received.

experience he needed, and in his first
season with the Giants he caught 40
passes for 571 yards and finished
fourth in the voting for NFL rookieof-the-year honors. His 6’3’’ 230-pound
frame helped, because a tight end also
has to block big linemen and linebackers.
Warner is almost the same size as
Tucker, and the BSC coach thinks he
might also wdnd up as a tight end.

“With his strength, hands and blocking ability, he would make an excellent tight end; his quickness, size, upper body strength and football Instincts give hie the qualities of a
great outside linebacker,’’ Sproule
says.
But at Bloomsburg Warner was a
running back, one of the top Penn
Conference backs for three years. He

College in February is one who has

in

his profession.

Orginally from Frackville, Wisher
coached basketball at Bloomsburg
High School and later at BSC. He then
moved out of the area to Penn State
and the University of Maryland. He
has coached basketball, gymnastics,
soccer, and swimming, and he developed a sign language for frogmen
while in the Navy Reserves.
Now, as Chairman of the Gallaudet
College Department of Physical Education, Dr. Wisher is happy working
with an all-deaf student enrollment.

The curriculum

at Gallaudet is basically the same as at other liberal arts
colleges, so he doesn’t find the situation much different from some of his
past teaching and coaching experi-

ences.

Gallaudet College is the only college in the world devoted exclusively
to the education of the deaf. It has an
enrollment of about 1,000 students in

of Dr. Francis B. Haas, former president of Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, died recently in Hershey.

Mrs. Haas was a resident of Bloomsburg from 1927 to 1939, the years
her husband was president of the college.

Dr. Haas, for

whom

the Francis B.

Haas Center for the Arts on campus
was named, twice served as superintendent of the state Department of
Public Instruction, under which state
teachers colleges operated. He held
that post from 1925-1927 under Gov.
Gifford Pinchot, and following his
tenure as president of BSTC, returned
to it in 1939 and continued as superintendent untU 1956.

StiU he finds his greatest
satisfaction
at
Gallaudet,
“I
would not trade my job for anything,”
he says.
What does he find at Gallaudet that

keeps him there? How can he enjoy
working with people who cannot hear?
Wisher admits that when he was first
offered the position at athletic director, he had a few reservations.
How
ever, since it was a job, and it was a

change he tried it out.
There have been a few problems.

When

he arrived at Gallaudet they

gave him a two-week course in communicating and then he was sent
straight to work. It wasn’t easy. He
admits he got his signals crossed
more than once while attempting to
explain a technique.
There are other

is no place in the world he would
rather be.
“They are the kindest
most humble people I have ever worked with.
They appreciate what it
means to be alive more than the average person. They are average people
who happen to be deaf, not deaf and
dumb. A deaf person is just as human as one with normal hearing, a
fact that too many people refuse to
recognize,” he said.

Shirley

Chisholm Challenges

Traditions

About Presidency

By Martin Gildea
B.S.C. Faculty

“Our Republic is in trouble and we
can no longer sweep the pieces under
the rug and hope the trouble will disappear, because this time it will not
disappear,” The Honorable Shirley
Chisholm, first black Congresswoman
in the United States and candidate
for her party’s nomination as President of the United States, told an
at

Bloomsburg State College, February
14, in an address sponsored by the
Black Student Association of the Col-

lege.

Receiving a standing ovation when
she entered the auditorium and again
when she was introduced, Mrs. Chisholm explained why she, a black woman, was defying tradition by running for a position that has been dominated by white males. Her decision

is response to the greatest enemy confronting the U.S. today, “not the Viet
Nam war but racism.”
“Fighting Shirley,” as she likes to
refer to herself, then went on to say
that blacks in this country
have
reached the tolerance level. “We are
sick of tokenism.
We want our just
share of the American dream and we
want it now. What do we black people want now? No more nor less than
what every ethnic group came here
for. To realize some of the hopes and
to achieve some of the aspirations
promised by this land of the free
and home of the brave.” Continuing,
she said black people cannot realize
why the American dream should be
denied to them simply because they
lack the passport of those groups who
came from Europe ... a white skin.
During the course of her talk, Mrs.
Chisholm admitted her hostility toward the concept of “Brotherhood
Week.” “If we have a democracy,
if we believe
in the Judeo-Christian
doctrines that we mention so much
in our rhetoric,
why do we need
‘Brotherhood Week’?
I’ll
tell
you
why. We need it to assuage the consciences of those who practice brotherhood during ‘Brotherhood Week’
and racism the other 51 weeks of the

In explaining why she was running
for the nomination for presidency.
Mrs. Chisholm characterized her candidacy as a combination of the roles
of spokesman and instrument. “I am

This time,” she promised, “we can go to the convention,
not asking for crumbs while others

are having a banquet. This America
is ours!
I am going to the convention
to see if we can turn that convention

around.”
Mrs. Chisholm attacked the other
presidential candidates in her party
for their “Madison Avenue” approach
as well as for their appeals for votes.
“Now that they want votes these candidates are for women’s rights, for the
young, as well as for others. Where
were they before? What did they do
for these ignored groups in their
public roles before this election year,”
she asked caustically.

She

her

candidacy

was

“I know
not without its handicaps.
I am a dark horse, figuratively and
literally,” she quipped.
The problem
arises due to what she referred to as
the psychological shock that afflicts
people when a black woman seeks to
enter the white male’s domain of the
presidency. “Under the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to run,” she
said.

In her appeal for help, Mrs. Chis-

holm made a special plea to women,
admonishing them to participate by
starting to run for political office under the slogan, “Save America’s Chil
dren,” adding that she needed their
help in Congress “so men won’t sincker when I get up to talk for day care
centers.”
She said if women could
have accompanied her on trips to
Appalachia and have seen the under-,
nourished children while the political
system responds to vested interest
groups, they would not be content to
talk a lot and then vote for the candidates promising “warmed-over” pro-

grams.
She also directed a special appeal to
the young who are disenchanted with
the system, and who say it should be
destroyed.
“I am the system.” she
said, “but I am patient.
In the system you see its weaknesses as well as
the tactics of those the system rewards,” she said, “and now I am pointing out the weaknesses and using the
tactics on behalf of ignored groups.”
She pointed out that though she is

part of the system, nevertheless, she

ask the black one to get out.” Her
reply was that those three candidates

only unique one, why don’t one of
them get out?” she asked.
In the brief question and answer
period Mrs. Chisholm said she favored legal and therapeutic abortion.
This she said was her feeling because
wherever you have women there will
be abortions. Without legal abortion
aid. many women will die or be maimed by “quacks.” Therefore, she said,
abortion should be available to any
women seeking it. Those whose religions or consciences repect abortions,
she said, would not be forced to have
abortions. “These same people,” she
said, “should not dictate that their values should bind other people.”
Concerning the war in Vietnam, she
said as President she would “end the
war forthwith.” She was applauded
as she answered: “We have lost too
many good men in that war. We have
made an error by getting into it. Let
us admit it and get out.”

Luptowski Missed

Out

He Has Made

But

It

Big

By Barbara Gillott
Maroon & Gold Reporter

What happens to a 5’5” junior who
is cut from his high school basketball
team? In the case of Bloomsburg
State College’s Arthur “Artie” Luptowski, he grows up to be a 5’10”
college varsity star.
Artie has been honored twice by the
ECAC in recognition for his outstanding jobs on defense (13 steals against
BSC high). In adWest (Chester
dition, Artie holds the BSC record
for assists in a game (18 against
West Chester) and has consistently
scored in the double figure column.
Luptowski was a junior at Ridley
Pai'k High School with an enrollment
of approximately 500 students when it
consolidated wnth another school district and he failed to win a varsity
berth.

—

“Maybe

I

just wasn’t good enough,”

recalled Artie, “but being cut didn’t
really discourage me; if anything ir
made me work all the harder.”
Artie became a sort of basketball
fanatic.
He practiced hours at a
time.
“People got so used to seeing
me practicing all the time, that when
they saw me, the first thing they’d
ask me is ‘where’s your basketball?’ ”
The kid with the basketball tried
again his senior year in high school
but once again failed to make the
team. It still didn’t dim his hopes of
becoming a good basketball player.
The summer before entering BSC,
Artie practiced diligently at what

has

popularly

been

In

termed

‘street
ball’.
As Artie explains. “Street ball
is just messing around with a group of
kids.
Half the time, the rules are
flexible and so are the teams.
You
just play for the sake of playing. I’d
usually go home to an outdoor court
w’ith lights afterwards and shoot up
’til one or two in the morning.
Street
ball is definitely great, though, because there isn’t any pressure put on

you.”

The
emergence
of
“the
New
Blacks”, educated, informed, and aware of the awesome task before them
was an important theme in Dr, Lincoln’s paper.
He said that this new
emergence

was

the

result

Black American’s “discovery

of the
of his

own

ego.”
Dr. Lincoln described the essence of
the Black ego as Soul.
“Soul is the
Black man’s most positive estimate
of himself

is the connective
skein that runs through the totality
of the Black Experience, weaving it
together and infusing it with mean.

ing.”

The New Black’s definition of himand his awareness that his heritage is good and therefore a source
of pride and strength is a starting
self

point for a Black Revolution. Dr. Lincoln stated that this Black Revolution
“intends to change the image of the
American society by changing or
destroying many of the concepts and
attitudinal strategies which function
to perpetuate the submerged status
of the Black people ... I see the
Black Revolution as the united expression of 30 million Blacks in search
of identity, status, privilege and responsibility,”
During the question and answer
period following Dr. Lincoln’s presentation, he was asked how long it
would be before Black’s got full equality.
He stated that equality can only

come about when people who have

These dramatic words brought to
a climax a paper entitled “The New
Blacks in Search of a Self” presented
by Dr. C. Eric Lincoln at the first
session of the Colloquim on the Black
Experience sponsored by the Black
Student Society at B.S.C.
In his paper. Dr .Lincoln, who is a
professor of sociology at Union Theological Seminary, examined some cultural, social and historical aspects of
Blacks in American society.
Commenting on white America’s
characterization of Blacks as a collective problem. Dr. Lincoln related
the story of a woman who asked him
for some material on the “colored
situation”. “
I sent her a “colored” paint chart from the hardware
store,” he said, “it was the only
‘colored situation’ she could handle in
her thinking,”
Dr, Lincoln stated that many of
the problems that Blacks have trouble
coming to grips with stem from their
.

problems of identity, “The un-bridged chasm between who they were in
Africa and who they are in America
has crippled the minds, clouded the
dreams, dulled the ambitions and
bowed the heads of countless generations of men and women who were

made

cringe like slaves,

in

a free democracy they should have

“And”, he said,
“power concedes nothing.”

“Look at me! I want to be recognized!

implies insecurity on the part of the
people who have power. “It’s knowing who’ll win before the race is even
run”, he said.
Asked why more Blacks weren’t behind the Presidential campaign cf
Shirley Chisholm, Dr. Lincoln said
that it was because too many whites
were.
He later elaborated on the
point by stating that Blacks weren’t
interested in Women’s Liberation because Black women will only be liberated when their men are.

Dr. Ralph R. Ireland, Professor and

shows how the educaand practices of the two

countries are affected by their basically different socio-political ideologies.
The history of the education of the
Blacks in the two countries is traced

over three centuries.
Dr. Ireland has long been recognized nationally and internationally as a
scholar and researcher in the field of
race relations. Eighteen of his thirtyfive articles and monographs, which
have been published in many noted
professional journals, have been devoted to various aspects of racial and
minority group relationships. His interest in this area extends back to
1951 when the “Journal of Negro Education” first published two of his articles.

He

is

one of a very small handful

American scholars who have been

of
in-

vited to the Republic of South Africa
as guests of The African Institute of
South Africa because of their reputations as researchers.
While in the
country Dr. Ireland concentrated on
the government’s educational policies
and practices with respect to the four
major racial groups:
the Bantu
(Blacks), the Asiatics (mainly Indians), the Coloureds (mulattoes), and
the Whies.
Since his return he has
published six articles dealing w’ith the
education of these groups.
Dr. Ireland has had another article

,

“American Teen-Age Marriages:

Some Facts and

Fallacies,” accepted

for publication in the

INDIAN JOUR-

NAL OF SOdAL RESEARCH,

This
journal is one of the most prestigious,
scholarly publications in the Far
East.
The article reviews the situation regarding teen-age marriages in
America since World War II. The
point is stressed that, all too frequently, such authorities as family -life educators, marriage counselors, sociologists,
social
workers, clergy, and
school administrators and teachers
have made sweeping conclusions regarding teen-age marriage based either on their own value judgements
or, at best, very little factual information.
Dr, Ireland concludes that despite
the many yardsticks that are used to
predict success or failure in teen-age
marriages, not all of them have been

proven by research

to be effective
predictors,
“It is more accurate to
say that people with the poorest
chance of making a good marriage
are most likely to marry early than to
say that early marriage causes fail-

ure in marriage. There is no evidence
that these people would make better
marriages if they w'aited for three or
four years beyond their present early
age.”

To the Alumni:

opportunity to share with you this page of the “Quarterly.”
For it, I have chosen excerpts from some of my comments
made during the past few weeks.

Three years ago I came to this campus holding certain
assumptions: that there w’as a significant degree of sophistication on the part of faculty relative to participation in
governance and in academic affairs; that I could de-

was needed, but that such errors would be met with tolerance and understanding and constructive guidance. And
I found all of these things in many of you.
There are
indeed those on this campus who have worked with me
to assist in our struggles to achieve a new spirit of academic standards and institutional viability. Such individuals I will not and cannot forget, nor shall the passage of
time lessen my thanks to them.

w^hether as a result of
personal weakness, academic ineptitude, ignorance, or
some unknow’n combination of factors. There is no room
in the academic community for gutter fighting, for plotting and conniving, for the selfish and the cunning, for

developed a viable College Senate, encompassing all segments of the college community; expanded the Educational Opportunity Program; promoted a full revision of
all student regulations in order to establish a fair, equitable, yet educationally meaningful student program; and
we substantially improved the quality and the accountability of faculty.
The Bloomsburg Foundation was formulated to solicit and to utilize private funds in support of
many college programs. Continuing Education programs
have been expanded; relationships with and services
the public schools have been enhanced;
cooperto
ative relationships wdth the Geisinger Medical Center
have been established. And, perhaps of most importance,

we have instituted sound budget management practices,
including full inventory control, internal accounting procedures, and similar measures. To these and to other
factors I point with a high feeling of accomplishment,

leadership.

then, with a high feeling of positive accomplishment, and
certainly with every hope for the future of the College.
But Bloomsburg indeed needs your help. As with students
and faculty, all too many alumni allow a few to become
their spokesmen.
The College faces, perhaps, the most
critical period in its history during the immediate two or

ON THE COVER

BALLOON SAILBOAT?
ART CLASS MAKES

WORK

IT

On Wednesday, May 10, a strange
gathering was seen on the shores of
Lake Pinecrest near Town Hill, about
a half-hour drive from Bloomsburg.
Perhaps the strangest thing about the
group was a bobbing, swinging weather balloon rising above a glob of color
to which it was attached.
The group of about 20 was a Bloomsburg State College class, meeting as
part of a course requirement for the
general crafts course taught by Kenneth Wilson. The glob of color was
a sheet stuffed with colored balloons.
The weather balloon and two smaller
colored balloons caught the air and
pulled the “craft” over the waters of
Lake Pinecrest. This was only one
of the sailboats made by students in
the class. Of course, the others tended toward more conventional lines
than Ed Horvath’s balloon boat. Of
the 20 crafts constructed of wood and
tin and other odd asscntments of materials, not many proved as successful
in the water as they were in appearance.
The sailboat endeavor ended
with successes and faiures, but aU
parties seemed to enjoy the excitment
work to the test.
students have explored
several other media beyond construction of their sailboats.
“I feel that
if a thing has been done well then it
used the medium to its best advantage.” These words of Mr. Wilson’s
are often repeated by him during the
three class sessions which are used as
workshops. The students began the
course by working in the three-dimensional realm of mobiles. From there
work is focused on carving a wooden
tool to satisfy the requirements of
usefulness and a good feel of handling.
Students turned out everything
of putting their

Wall hangings used the concept of stencils in creating patterns of
color and shading. Leather belts were
made and tooled by each member of
the class. Mrs. Wilson, who has done
leather work herself, helped by giving pointers on methods of using
leather tools.

“The teaching

who have been within its ranks for
more years than they care to admit,”
Dr. Sponseller says. “With the knowledge of the tremendous bearing success or failure in reading has on

Reading prob-

lems can be basic to a child’s overall
performance in school because every
subject requires certain skills in reading.

Dr. Margaret Sponseller, administrator and director of B.S.C.’s reading program, has spent ten years

working to expand the program to
keep future teachers abreast of the
new techniques being developed to
improve the teaching of reading. During most of that time, however, only
the basic elementary
education requirements, “Teaching of Readineg in
the Elementary Grades,” has been
available to stndents because of what
Dr. Sponseller explains as “inadequate staffing.”
Four years ago she started a remedial reading clinic which now can

accomodate approximately 40 clients.
She uses the word ‘clients’ because

“The children have generaUy

failure that they can rarely be helped in the regular classroom,” Dr.
Sponseller explains. “These children
need to know they can succeed. Perhaps the clinician’s biggest job is to
somehow help these children to like
themselves again so they can tackle
reading with some degree of confi-

Dr. Sponseller hopes to continue to
improve the reading program by reinstating two courses “Foundation of

The national

attrition rate for four-

year colleges is gvien as 48 per cent.
At B.S.C., over a three-year period,
the attrition rate for freshmen has
been 30 per cent, for sophomores 25
per cent, for juniors ten per cent and
for seniors two per cent.
During the
Spring semester 33 students dropped
out.
But even though the B.S.C. attrition rate is below the national average. the problem is not being ignored.

Most students

medical reasons are those most frequently listed. Lack of interest rates
third and this is the reason more frequently given by freshmen.
Walter Williams, a junior majoring
in Secondary Education, had earned
84 credits when he decided to leave
school early in the Spring semester.
“My reasons for leaving are partly
financial.’’ he explained.
“I had to
attend a State College for financial
reasons, and I liked Bloomsburg the
best.
I was limited in my choice of
a particular field and I chose to major
in Education.
But I don’t want to be
a teacher, so I’m leaving.”
A transferring sophomore commented “I feel there must be more

and I suppose that’s what I’ll miss
the most. You get the feeling you’re
always being talked at. not to. Maybe
I’m asking for too much but I’ve got
to go somewhere else, even if it’s just
to prove something to myself.”
John Walker, Associate Dean of
Student Affairs, says the problem of
.'tudent disillusionment has

been with us and that current trends
have not brought about any real substantial increase in the number of
dropouts.
There is a growing con-

cern, however, which began about ten
years ago.
“There are several personal reasons for disillusionment,” says Chuck
Thomas, Director of the Student Counseling Service.
“Some students simply have no purpose. Others come expecting a great intellectual experience and are disappointed. A good
number of students become disillusioned about their capabilities and simply reach a point of disequilibrium
where they become aware that their
abilities do not match their aspired
goals.”
Walker sees frustration over careers
as the first step in leaving school.
Bloomsburg State College, for the
most part, has been training its students to be teachers. Yet it is estimated that there will be 26 appli-

cants for each teaching vacancy by
the late 1970’s. Now the field is tight
and the competition is tough. The
moving vocationai trend is towards
trade, industrial and technical fields,
but just a slight change in our economy could alter the whole job picture
again and the students are constantly

aware of this, he points out.
The disiilusioned student may find
some consolation in knowing that he
isn’t being ignored. One of the latest
programs established for such students is the, “Leave of Absence Policy.” Under this policy, a student may
request a leave of absence by application and provided he is in good
standing at the end of the semester,
he will be allowed to leave and be assured accommodation the semester
he is designated to return.
Dr. Edson J. Drake, Dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences, said that
the administration is considering the
idea of “Interdisciplinary Courses”.
In such
a field of study, a student
majoring in French, for example,
would learn not only the language but
also the history and culture of the
country.
This would enable aU the
educational department to work together as a unit to insure a better
all-around education for the student.
To help alleviate career frustration,
the Counseling Service is trying to
steer students in educationai studies
to other fields with more appeal for
them and a greater job market.

A program

of Professor Evaluation

being considered, whereby the student would be given the opportunity
to evaluate his professors and the
porfessors would be informed of the
results.
This plan is aimed at improving the attitudes of teachers
and their ability to make their courses
meaningful.
Since questions concerning careers
are so important, Mr. Walker has
suggested what could be termed a
“Career Counseling Library.” opened
to all students and devoted solely to
the purpose of publicizing important

Too many students are
and leave school with

other alternatives in mind. A library
such as this could be an educational
experience in itself. If a student is
unhappy in his field, he can decide to
change and know exactly w'here he’s
heading.
Everyone seems to agree that there
will always be a disillusioned student
but to ignore the problem would be a
mistake. The most important task of
administrative leaders is to initiate
programs to keep up with the needs of
a changing society before student’s
stress becomes great enough to interfere with an orderly program of professional studies.

June, 1972

We wish once more to call to the attention of the Alumni the extreme
necessity of supporting the Bloomsburg Foundation.
Without this support,
it will not be possible to send the Alumni Quarterly to all graduates whose
correct address is in our files.
It will also be impossible to maintain the
Alumni Office.
The Alumni Office has many functions:
1.
It is the channel through which all deaths, changes of address, and
other important statistics are recorded in the Alumni files.
2.
It is the channel of communication with the representatives of the
classes in reunion.
It is the agency which grants all Alumni Loans.
4.
It is the agency which administers all the Alumni Scholarship Funds.
All of these activities require the services of a full-time secretary.
The
expenses incident to these activities are budgeted and the funds for these
expenses are transferred from the Bloomsburg Foundation to the Alumni
Association.
3.

Therefore, it is essential that all Alumni, through the Foundation, support
the Association, at least to the extent of the five dollars annual dues.

These are

difficult

days at BSC.

Please do not

let the

College down!

THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE
Recently,

E. Alden

Dunham

authored

“Colleges

of

The Forgotten Americans,” a profile of state colleges and
regional universities, for The Carnegie Commission on
Education.
Addressing himself to educational
pressures, Dunham submits that state colleges are experiencing all sorts of strain in their network of relationships
in deciding just what the function of state colleges ought
In essence, state colleges are suffering an “identto be.

Higher

ity crisis.”

As we all know, Bloomsburg State College is one of 14
state-owned institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As such, its broad functions
are in the areas of teacher education and in the Arts and
Sciences. Very often we still have people inquire about
“The Normal School” on the hill, or address correspondence to “The Teachers College.”
It is important for all to realize that Pennsylvania’s
former collection of teachers colleges has moved rapidly
along the spectrum from single to multipurpose Institutions.
As we begin this 1972-1973 academic year, with
our total enrollment exceeding 5,000, we find, indeed, that
Bloomsburg State College is providing a diversity of edu-

cational opportunities.

Our undergraduate students are enrolled in three
schools of the College:
Arts and Sciences, Professional
Studies (teacher education, special education, communication disorders, and dental hygienist), and Business (business education and business administration). Our graduate students, enrolled in the Graduate School, are working toward M.A., M.S., or M.Ed. degrees.
In addition,
opportunities are provided in continuing education both
credit and non-credit, as well as conveniently scheduled
courses for teachers-in-servlce.

Viewed at this time in our history, Bloomsbttrg State
College is full of vitality, enthusiasm, and dedication.
Surely as we continue along the spectrum of development,
each academic year will contribute to the identifiable
and unique personality that is Bloomsburg.

ricane Agnes.

His personallized
account of the situation follows:
The line most frequently quoted

from Bloomsburg State’s old Alma
Mater is the “friendly college on the
hill” ... In this instance it was more
than just “music” to the ears of nearunfortunate victims of that
angry lady Agnes.
If the victims of Anges’ WTath could
be called “lucky”, then those from the
greater Bloomsburg area who were
evacuated to Bloomsburg State College
could be classified as such.

In comparison to evacuees in some
disaster areas, those at Bloomsburg
State were going first class from every
conceivable angle
housing, food
and, would you believe entertainment?
When the anti-Agnes action started
on campus just before noon on Thursday, it appeared that the number of
evacuees arriving would be accommodated quite easily. They were shuttled
from the administration building to
Columbia Hall where they were assigned rooms along with the coeds already living in the building.

—

Keep Coming
For awhile it appeared as though it
was going to be a ho-hum day. However, as the rains continued and afternoon became early evening it became
apparent that Agnes was a liberated
lady who was disdainfully showing us
the power of a woman.
By 8 PM on Thursday the number
of arrivals seeking refuge has escalated to the point where they were being
housed In Luzerne, Mor/tour and
Schuylkill residence halls
and they

—

kept coming.
At 10 PM the decision was made to
open the doors of the largest residence
hall on campus.
Elwell Hall with a
capacity of 700 was opened and by
midnight three of its floors were occupied.

The remaining four

floors of

“Elwell City” (as the students refer
to it) were filled Friday afternoon as
residents of Sherwocd Village, Espy,
Lime Ridge, Fernville and the lower
areas of Bloomsburg etc. were ordered to evacua+e.
Also, in order to accommodate all
corners, Northumberland Hall was

As was to be expected, there were

But the problems sometimes were the kind that couldn’t be

Like to dog that had
been raised in a ranch-type home and
didn’t know what stairs were until he
arrived at the dormitory. When the
elevator wasn’t available the master
cbligingly carried the dog up several
flights of stairs.

When the evacuees registered at the
residence halls on campus, they were
greeted by smiling student volunteers
who helped them to their rooms. However, probably none of them were aware of the tremendous effort w'hich
was required to get the college on the

Filling the bellies of the nearly 2.000
people in residence wouldn’t appear to
be much of a task for a food service
under normal conditions. But when
it is geared to feeding only 200 people

jump could cause people to get a little
uptight. However, the BSC food ser-

vice which is catered by ARA Services
rose to the occasion.
They got their adrenalin flowing and
with the assistance of student and
faculty volunteers. ARA moved to the
tune of the Calvai-y Charge as they

increased their output of meals from
600 to 6.000 servings per day through

Sunday. It is difficult to imagine the

In the Residence Halls, supervision
and order were competently maintained by the staff of the Department of
Student Affairs.
They manned the
desks around the clock and, assigned
student volunteers to various duties
which helped to make the evacuees

more tolerable.
Additionally,
the Office of Student Activities set up

victims

Agnes made the transition to residence hall life quite well although it
wasn’t totally without a few complaints like “you have to walk too far
to the bathroom”;
“they forgot to
make coffee for lunch”. There were
also those who were a bit “hyper” beof

cause of their apprehension for the
condition of the hemes they vacated
and perhaps having to be around their
youngsters all day.
Most ‘Happy’
Nevertheless, 99 per cent of the happy guests at BSC were thankful and
seme of them expressed their gratitude by volunteering for various
chores like cleaning the bathrooms,
operating elevators, carrying food to
the elderly, emptying trash containers,
dogsitting, etc.
Most of the temporary campus residents returned to their homes by late
Sunday evening and on Monday the
400 remaining were consolidated in Elwell Hall. Seme of them stayed there
for awhile as they shuttled back and
forth to their homes in operation clean

while others were involved in
hunting for new places in which to
take up residence.
Meanwhile, among the departees

Building Projects

Completed
During the spring and summer of
a now adnumistration-supply
building, a new gymnasium (Upper
Campus), a new Recreation Area, and
completely new underground utilities
(Upper Campus) were completed at
1972,

a cost of $15,335,000 in preparation for
the beginning of class in September.
Each project will play a vital role in
a variety of ways in the entire college

community.
Construction continues on the Student Center and the completion date is
estimated at sometime during early
1973.
The cost of construction, furnishings,

and movable equipment

will

be approximately $1,500,000.
It is expected that constnjction will
begin this fall on the new football
field, track, and baseball field as well
as the air conditioning of Sutliff Hall.

Low bids for the Athletic Fields w'ere
$725,274 and those for Sutliff Hall were
$138,000.
Design work has begun on a new
dormitory to replace Old Waller Hall.
Because of its age and condition. Waller Hall has not been used to house
students for several years. The new
structure is expected to house 250
students at an approximate construction cost of $1,955,0(X).
In order to provide adequate heat,
hot water, and in several cases airconditioning (steam absorption method) for existing and new buildings on
the Lower Campus, a new boiler is
expected to be installed at the college
heating plant along with major alterations to existing boilers. $2M,000 has
been allocated for this purpose.
The design In plans for new and
Improved utilities on the Lower Campus is expected to begin shortly. An

amount of $400,000 has been budgeted
for this project.

the

Bloomhburg area.

These include

a swimming pool, gymnasium area
with basketball court and Tartan surfaced indoor track, four air-conditioned classrooms, faculty offices, locker

think that is what attracts us to biography. As Dr. Johnson has put it;
“We are all prompted by the same
motives, all deceived by the same
fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by dangers, entangled by
desire, and seduced by pleasure.”
The subjects of biographies have
generally been gi'eat, infamous,
or
otherwise distinguished persons. But
such is our interest in man that many
successful biographies of lesser
or
even obscure men have been written,
I

among them

“John Ster“Father and Son,” and
White’s “Autobiography of Mark Rutherford.”

calls truth. (It is only fair to say at
this point that DeVoto himself is seldom dull.) Why, for instance, “literary people” are more prone to indulge in psychoanalysis than others he

never makes clear. Lord David Cecil
appears to be somewhere in the middle of all this. For him, biography is
not an important form of literary art,
The modbut it only a new form.
ern biographer, he claims, strives to
make his product a work of art. His
assertion that the aim of earlier biographers was not artistic may be true,
but one thinks of Plutarch, Boswell,
and even Walton as artistic in aim

and accomplishment. Cecil’s claim
that earlier biographers strove to give

biographer then, in a literary sense
at least, is an artist who aims at
truth to fact.
Regarding the question of literary
purity, in the sense of genre, I think
we can admit biography as a depart-

whatever.
Such new “courses” appear to be spawned in the following
manner: in a given course a problem
of seeming importance arises; why

in a newly-created course?
Such a
process might weU be reduced to the

absurdity of generating new courses
every time a problem arises.
And
the “problem”, greatly
magnified,
often turns out to be ephemeral. The
danger, as I see it. is that while for
good reasons, regrouping of courses
may lead to more integrated knowledge, a contrary fragmentation may

As a consequence of the foregoing
considerations, one needs to be cautious about making claims either for
or against inclusion of courses in biography in the college undergraduate
curriculum.

the problem more clearly by addressing to ourselves a few questions about

the classic examples of psychological

shaped Willa Gather’s “The Professor’s House” and to considerable degree inspired the artistic unity (and
disunity, as well) of that novel. Edel
provides in this instance a brilliant
example of psychoanaylsis and biography working in the serevice of literary criticism. These are only

that belittles the subject in a way
that just misses being a sneer.
As we have seen, there has been
range and diversity of attitude in the
biographer, especially in more recent
times. The examination of the subject has been more concentrated, and
there is an increasing interest in the
inner man, what made him act as he
did. Of course such a purpose is evident in earlier biographers too, but
not with such singleness of aim. Thus
Emil Ludwig was saying in 1927 that
the biographer’s problem is nothing
less than the human soul a big Darwinian environment to the individual

'This psychanalytic approach to the
study of biography, while often misapplied, has produced many new insights in our understanding of
the
subjects of biography. Ernest Jones’
“Life of Freud” is an example of how
facts may provide the
ground for

holds that the writer of biography
must make up his mind about the
commission of certain sins of indiscretion: “He need not tell his story
if his only solicitude is to give nobody
cause of offense. The closer we come
to the subject the more we wish to
avoid the indelicate, and this sometimes leads up to teU lies. Of course
we need good taste, but the rule should
be ‘how to be as indiscreet as posgood
sible within the boundaries of
taste and kind feeling.’ ” These are
values of which the student can be
made aware by the study of biograr

reader.

HAS INFLATION INVADED
B.S.C.’S GIL\DE MARKET?
Are B.S.C. students of recent years
smarter than their counterparts of the
late 50’s, or are the professors becom-

more lenient with their grading?
This is one of the questions raised
by a comparative study of grades issued recently by Dr. M. W. Sanders,
Director of Institutional Research.
One general observation made in the
report is that only the Fall term of
1969-70 has a mean grade point average (2.47) as low as any in the fiveyear period from 1956 to 1960. By coming

parison, the mean grade point average
for the Spring term, 1971-72 was 2.68.

reported that he believes his own
grades to be higher than those five

During the five-year period, 1956-60,
the percentage of A’s ranged from 10.8
to 14.3; B’s from 30.9 to 32.9; C’s from
40.4 to 43.0; D’s from 7.5 to 10.2 and

It was during that period, and while
she was teaching art at the university
that Mrs. Ancker became increasingly interested in fine art, and
in her spare time studied water color,
oil paintings, and lithography.
In the
early 1940’s while studying at Columbia University she came under
the influence of the late American
sculptorer, Oronzio Maldarelli, who
persuaded her that her future lay in
sculpture. In 1950 she began exhibiting her sculpture, winning an award
at Washington, D.C. in her first competition.

In 1839, Daniel Snyder, her maternal
great-grandfather, donated “10 or 15
acres” on what is now College Hill as
the site for Bloomsburg Academy, of
which BSC is a direct outgrowth. In
1964, in connection with the Tercentenary celebration of New Jersey,

where Mrs. Ancker

lived for a number
of years, the literary quarterly “University Woman” cited her as “one of

the outstanding women in New Jersey
history.” and in 1967 the BSC Alumni
Association presented her with its Distinguished Service Award.
Her late brother, Robert Hutton,

Schools. She is an elected member of
the Philadelphia Art Alliance, the

When Dr. William Jones, Director

last year’s Sabbatical Leave, he chose
to work with SRI (Selection Research

The potential for future use at BSC included
the possibilities of aiding in developing a better system for selecting
college students, for developing a
system for selecting students with a
high teaching potential to go into
teacher training programs, and for
the selection and development of suc-

ceeding.

Social Studies Institute Features

'Learn By Doing’ Techniques
Approximately

teachers representing 24 area school
districts attended a Social Studies
Institute at Bloomsburg State College
in November and were treated to a
demonstration of the maxim attributed to John Dewey, educator, political
scientist, and historian that students
“learn by doing,” as that maxim was
applied to the teaching of politics in

and

problems of democracy
courses in secondary schools.
The demonstration was offered in
four
programs sponsored by the
Bloomsburg State College Institute for
Social Studies Teachers under the direction of George A. Turner, associate
civics

professor of history. The conference
dealt with Project 18, a new and u-

nique course on politics developed by
Dr. John Madden of Lower Merion
School District in cooperation with
the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the League of Women
Voters.

The

demonstration concerned
an analysis of 18 excerpts taken from
speeches of presidential candidates
and teachers present were asked to
identify the author of the quote and to
speculate about the nature of the
group to which the candidate was
appealing. The lesson was designed to
demonstrate to students that candidates appeal to group interests, hoping
to win their support.
“Behavior of a Politician: an Interview with Richardson Dil worth.” was
the second demonstration and was
conducted via video tape.
Mr. Dilworth gave his candid views on such
things as pressure politics, campaign
contributions, honesty and dishonesty
in politics, and the influence of youth
at the 1972 National Democratic Convention.
He also discussed ways of
first

getting involved in politics at the ward
level, the nature of political machines
and his impressions about recent political

The

third demonstration was

“Political Action Tactics,” and
dealt with tactics as organization, ap-

plying pressure, lobbying, propagandizing, etc., as occurred in Philadelphia with the black political organization.

The fourth demonstration dealt with
“The Person as Voter: Expanding
the Franchise.” It involved a candid
look at the way voters are disenfranchised by illegal and legal means.
Devices used to discourage voting
were discussed and students were
motivated to devise tactics to counter
such disenfranchising tactics.
The final sesion was an evaluation of
the demonstrations and the entire
program of study and action. Dr.
John R. Madden. Project 18 director,
informed his audience that the first
evaluation concerning Unit One of the
course by the students involved was a

was developed by experts in education,
political science and communications
under a $100,000 grant received under
Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The
program, which seeks to balance
student involvement with the transmission of the substance of politics,
is currently being tried in 12 urban
and rural school districts throughout
the state and preliminary evaluations
by the students taking the course indicate that it will be successful.
Designed as a one-semester civics
or problems of democracy course,
Project 18 takes the approach that
politics is the way political leaders
distribute advantages and disadvantages, usually in response to certain

demands by groups having resources
such as organization, money influence,
etc. that enable them to use tactics
that make the political decision makers respond to their demands.
The
course

divided into six units, all of
which combine student participation,
audio-visual aids, and simulations.
The units are: “Politics Who gets

Political Action,” “The Structure and
Function of American State and Local
Political Institutions,” “How Political

Elections and

American Political Attitudes and Behavior,” and “Evaluating Political
Strategies.”
In each of the units, students are
urged to get involved in the political
decision-making process by articulating their demands
and designing
strategies and tactics to achieve them
in consultation with a “resource person” from the locality, always in
terms of a cost-benefit analysis.
Accompanying the course, in addition to film strips, including an interview with Richardson Dilworth, former mayor of Philadelphia and Democratic candidate for Governor, are
resource books for the students and
the teachers, a practical work book
for students, and a simulation that
mirrors the structure of the state and

of people from each of the state’s districts, seeking policies from the state

Penalties imposed on varsity athletteams at Bloomsburg State College
by the National Collegiate Athletic
Association in August, 1972, have been
eased and several charges of violations have been removed from the oric

report.
All varsity athletic teams except
wrestling became eligible as of Oct.
24, 1972, to participate in post-season
championships or tournament play.

The ban against post-season comperemains in effect for the wrestteam, but the ban may be lifted
during the 1973-74 academic year.
The adjustment of penalties was announced by NCAA Assistant Executive
Director Warren Brown in a letter to
ESC’s Acting President Dr. Charles
Carlson in November.
Dr. Carlson
had appealed to NCAA for a review of
the case after several charges of violations had been retracted.
Charges of changing high school

against the then director of admissions. alleged to have occurred prior
to the 1965-66 academic year, and
charges of paying athletes who did no
work were found to be untrue and
were dropped. The original charges
had involved the then dean of students
and the director of athletics. Brown’s
letter, and a subsequent clarification,
dearly exonerates Dr. C. Stuart Edwards and Elton Hunsinger from any
charges of violations of NCAA regulations.
At the time the alleged vio-

were originally charged to
have occurred, they were respectively
director of admissions and dean of
students. Brown’s clarification states:
“Accordingly, the Resolution adopted
August 18i, 1972, by the Council
(NCAA) should be altered by removng the words ‘director of admissions’
and ‘dean of students’ from anv find-

lations

ings involving the principles of ethical

conduct.”

The college remains on probation
for two years beginning August 18,
1972. and the penalty imposed on the

wrestling

team

prohibiting

post-sea-

son competition remains in force.
'The findings of the original NCAA
report charging changing of grades
of certain student-athletes by the then
Dean of the Faculties for several
years prior to and ending with the
1968-69 academic vear remain unchanged. Other findings remaining unchanged are charges of alleged violations pertaining to recruitment of
high school athletes and of violations
involving financial aid given to athletes from funds not administered by
the college.

Winter Sports Teams

Have Good Reasons
The outlook for the three winter
varsity sports for the 1972-73 college
year appears bright.
Although all
teams face extremely tough schedules, they should have winning seasons. Possibly the one most in question is wrestling due to the college not
fielding a

team

from coaching

the problems resulting

assignments and injuries.

BASKETBALL
Coach Charles Chronister has perhaps the best material the college has
had in a number of years. Returning
lettermen are 5T0” captain Art Luptowski, pershaps the best ball handler
and playmaker in BSC’s history; 6’8"
John Willis, an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American as a sophomore;
and two speedsters with fine shooting
ability, 6'0” Gary Choyka and 510”

Tony DeRa.
Complementing these four will be
sophomores 6’4” Gary Tyler, 6’4”
Dick Grace, 6’6” John Kessge, 6’4”
Ron Keller, 511” Mike Ognosky, and
511” Joe Woods, along with transfer
Joe Kempski from Wilmingdale Community College, L.I., N.Y., and 6’6”
Gary Beatty, who sat out last season
due

to an injury.
In addition to the regular schedule,
the Huskies participated in the Christmas Tree Tournament at Indiana
University and traveled to the College
of the Virgin Islands on January 3.
They hope to participate in the Penn
sylvania Conference and NAIA District 19 playoffs.

senior is Kevin Hayes, a 167 lb.
competitor, and junior Randy Watts,

competition at 142 lbs.
Two other
good prospects are sophomore Dan
Burkholder and senior Doug Anderson, both upper weight performers.
The balance of the squad, comprised
of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors,
are vying for positions in the lower
and middle weights.
Excluded from post-season tournament competition, the Huskies participate early in the season in the U.S.

5 Faculty Members to Retire in
DR.

HAROLD LANTERMAN

Dr. Harold H. Lanterman, the oldest member, seniority wise, of the
Bloomsburg State College faculty, has
announced his retirement effective at
the end of the 1972-73 college year.
Dr. Lanterman joined the faculty at
the start of the summer pre-session in
June, 1946 to teach mostly chemistry
courses and later physical science and
some physics courses. At that time,
he was the only professor teaching
courses in Chemistry I and II and basic physics.
Today, there are ten or
more courses offered in both the
chemistry and physics departments.
A native of Berwick, Pennsylvania.
Professor Lanterman was graduated
from the schools of that area, and
earned a Bachelor of Science degree
from Bloomsburg State College in 1931.
His Master of Arts degree was awarded from New York University in 1947

and his Doctor of Education degree in
chemistry from Penn State in 1954.
Shortly after receiving his doctorate,
he was promoted to full professor at
Bloomsburg State College.
Dr. Lanterman began his teaching
career in the Berwick schools in 1931,
and taught science courses there until
1942 when he entered the armed forces
for a 38 month tour. As required by
the Department of Education at that
time, he returned to Berwick after being discharged from the service for a
year’s teaching in order to receive full
credit for his military service.
Over the years at BSC, he has served on numerous faculty committees
and at one time was secretary /treasurer of the BSC Chapter of PSEA. He
was a sponsor of the old Science Club
which later became the Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society;
Dr. Lanterman initiated' the
charter for the latter.
Professor Lanterman is a member
of the American Chemical Society
and the American Society of Physics.
Two years ago, when Bloomsburg
hosted
the
Pennsylvania
College

Chemical Teachers annual meeting,
he served as chairman. He has been
a member of that organization for 20
years.
In the past. Dr. Lanterman
found great enjoyment in taking his
various classes to area industries for
on-the-job education of his students.
Upon his retirement, Dr. Lanterman
will pursue more vigorously his parttime occupation of repairing china and
glassware, which he has done for a
number of years. He has studied
under the internationally known, Ger-

PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH
IS

NARROWED TO

7

The Presidential Search Committee
at Bloomsburg State College, after
considering

applications

of

approxi-

mately 140 prospects to serve as the
new President of BSC, had narrowed
the field to seven leading candidates
by late January, according to James
B. Creasy, Chairman.
Invitations were extended to the
seven candidates to visit the campus
during February to view the campus

meet members of the college community and have formal interviews with the Search Committee.
facilities,

The committee expects

to

narrow

its

selection to three candidates, but will
give a full report on all leading candidates to the Board of Trustees at BSC,
Creasy stated, “The Committee is

keeping to its planned time schedule
of using January and February for
final interviews so that a report and
recommendations can be made to the
full BSC Board of Trustees in March,
1973.”

When the Presidential Search Committee was appointed in May, 1972, it
was charged by the Board of Trustees
of BSC to follow procedures developed
by the Board of State College and University Directors and the Secretary of
Education, John Pittenger, in conjunction with Act 13 of 1970.
Additional procedure calls for the
BSC Board of Trustees to submit its
report and recommendation to the
Board of State College and University
Directors, who, after consultation with
the Secretary of Education, shall submit the report of the Board of Trustees
to the Governor and shall advise him
thereon.
If the Governor selects one of the
three recommended candidates to be
president, after notification by the Secretary of Education to the Board of
State College and University Directors, the Board of Trustees, and the
candidate, the Governor’s office will
make the public announcement of the
selection.

However, it should be pointed out
the Board of Directors acknowledges
that the final responsibility for the selection of a president of a state college
rests with the Governor, and that the
Governor may, if he chooses, depart
from the above procedures.
Dr. Charles H. Carlson assumed the
duties of Acting President on September 1. 1972. and will continue in that
capacity until the Governor announces

the staff of the College’s Public Relations department.
They were very
cordial and helpful hosts during our
visit.

Since the Huskies were to play a
basketball game the next evening,
Coach Chronister scheduled a team
meeting which was to be followed by
a practice session. However, at the
meeting he dismissed the thought of
practice and told the team to relax
and have fun “but don’t get sunburned

proved to be a painful experience
Sea urchins are ball-shaped creatures
with a multitude of spines projecting

from their bodies. The spines are
composed of calcium carbonate and
since they are extremely brittle they
break off after pentrating and fragment easily when tweezed. Thus they
could not readily be removed from
the feet of the two athletes.
At the hospital emergency room
Artie and Ron were greeted like old
friends by the nurse, a former resident of North Wales, near Lansdale.
The attending physician prescribed
treatment that simply involved soaking the feet in warm water laced with
vinegar: if vinegar were unavailable
the soaking could be done using urine

treatment is that the acid dissolves the
carbonaceous spines in a couple of

played, and even though he lacked

relief. Captain Luptowski,
leader that he was, bit on the bullet
and played with pain as he directed
the Huskies to a 30-point winning

margin.

The game

itself

was played under

International Rules which were presented to the team and staff in a mini
lesson minutes before tap-off time.
The most significent aspects of the
rules involve wider foul lanes somewhat triangular in shape; no back
court ten-second violations called until
the last three minutes of the half; and
no fouls shot until the last three minutes of the half. Thus, with so little
to be concerned about, the two officials simply closed their eyes to the
ensuing mayhem while everyone on
the Husky bench hoped no one would
get hurt. It was so brutally phvsical
that even the Philly kids admitted
it
was rough. However, it was the
kind of officiating John Willis loves
because he played the entire game
and was called for only one foul as he
took his defender to the hole time after
time. Some of the fouling by the host
Bucs was so violent it resulted in some
players standing around temporarily
not knowing which end of the court

was

theirs.

After the game, which was played
85-degree heat, the team was dehydrated, parched and looking for
in

some tall relaxation. They were also
pretty thirsty and with the legal drinking age on the island being 18 they
went off in quest of their favorite beverages. A sixer of Millers was only a
dollar while soft drinks were $1.20 so
their choice was obvious.

ARTICLE PUBLISHED
Dr. David E. Washburn, Dept, of
Educational Studies and Services, has
an article entitled, “A Conceptual

Framework for Multi-Cultural Education” appearing in the Vol. 10, nos.
1 & 2, Spring/Fall 1973 issue of “The
Florida FL Reporter:
A Journal of
Language and Culture in Education”
to be released the last week in March.
The theme of this issue is “Black DiaHistorical and Descriptive Islect:
sues.”

State Colleges will require a severe
cutback in program as well as requiring our students to pay increased tuition. We, therefore, oppose the concept of the requested
Budget and urge the Legislature to
appropriate sufficient funds to preserve the present quality of education with no increase in tuition.”
Dr. Carlson indicated specifically
that he was opposed to a tuition inDrease, that he felt the Commonwealth
must recognize its commitments and
responsibility to higher education by
providing a high quality program of
instruction at a reasonable cost to
students in State Colleges.
The proposed Budget is being analyzed in detail by Dr. Carlson and the
Bloomsburg State College Board of
Trustees prior to forthcoming budget
hearings to be held in Harrisburg.
The amount indicated in the budget
for B.S.C. is approximately $1,700,000
less than the college had requested for

Of continuing concern is the 1973-1974 budget
which has not been resolved by the Commonwealth,
Accompanying this concern is the issue of a proposed
increase in student fees. Escalating institutional operating costs must be matched by Commonwealth appropriations if we are to maintain our current programs and also respond to the program needs of
the future.

Our student body for next September will meet
our projected figure of 4,300 as reported by the Admissions Office. This information is particularlv encouraging in view of the fact that many colleges
across the country^ are experiencing a student decrease.

Soon there will be an announcement of the new

the time of his retirement by a facmember and former student:
‘In October of 1878 that young principal at once won my respect, confidence, and affection because of his
love for the work, his skill as a
teacher, his personal interest in each
student, and his exalted standards
of character. And so the quiet influence of his life, his living, his standards became the ideals of those living under him, a subtle influence
that continued to transform the lives
of his pupils long after school days
ceased.’

The appointments are subject to confirmation by the State Senate.
Kubeika lives in St. Clair, Schuylkill County, and is the Democratic

James A. Magee, President

of Magee Carpet Co.,
and Dr. Charles Carlson, Acting
President of
Bloomsburg State College, are shown with the tapestry
of the BSC seal, which has been donated to the college by
the trustees of the 'Magee Museum Trust following the
announcement to close the local Magee Museums. The
college has two more identical tapestries that have hung
in the Alumni Room in Waller Hall for many years.
At
the time the tapestries were designed by Mrs. Herre
and made for the college, the Magee Carpet Co. decided
that the seal came out so well that an additional one
should be made for advertising purposes in conjunction
with its custom tufting business. When the latter manufacturing process was phased out, the tapestry was put
on display in the Magee Museum. The only stipulation
made with the presentation was that the tapestry be retained by the college and under no conditions should it
be sold to any individual or organization but to remain
the sole property of the institution. It has been placed in

Spring Sports

Teams Round Out
Successful Year
Three of the four men’s varsity
spring sports teams at Bloomsburg
State College had either winning or
break even records.
The baseball team of Coach Clark
Boler, which at one point was probably more in contention for a Pennsylvania Conference title than any of
the other sports, finished the season
with a 9-9 overall record and a 8-6
conference record including the playoff losses.
Huskies got off to a fast
start and then were slowed down later
in the season but made it to the post^
season PC Tournament. In the playoff, Bloomsburg dropped a 5-2 contest to Indiana in the first game and

was nudged by

Millersville 3-2 in 12

innings in the second which knocked
them out of the double-elimination
event. Indiana went on to win the conference title.

There have been many new developments on the campus of Bloomsburg State College since the beginning of 1973. But perhaps the most
unusual

is

the extension of

form of a mobile speech, hearing and language clinic.
The Department of Communication
Disorders has added a specially equipped bus to its facilities, enabling the
college and surrounding community to
benefit directly from their services
offered. This van travels extensively
in the area surrounding Bloomsburg,

A

might glance out the classroom window one morning and see the huge
white vehicle parked in front of the
school.
Maroon and gold letters on
the side of the bus announce “Bloomsburg State College, Speech, Hearing,
and Language Clinic, Department of

Communication Disorders.” The most
unusual feature on the exterior of the
bus is the flying wing in the rear. This
special provision in the body of the
van accommodates a sound-proof auditory testing room in the back, enabling clinicians and clients to stand
up

in this section.

A

typical six-hour day may see 400
to 500 youngsters go
through
the
speech bus. Their teacher or school
nurse monitors their entrance. WhUe
inside, they are given a hearing test,
mandatory for grades 1, 2, 3, 7, and
11.
Approximately six undergraduates of BSC administer these tests, for-

merly given by the school nurse.
In future months the mobile unit
will be used to diagnose language disorders. The front part can be divided
into three small chambers by sliding
suitable for administering
tests.
The air-conditioned vehicle is also equipped with

partitions,

a one-way mir-

An International Harvester truck
chassis is the basis for this customdesigned bus. Under Program Director Dr. James D. Bryden, Chairman
of the Department of Communication
Disorders, plans were initiated in September, 1971. G. Donald Miller, assistant professor of Communication Disorders, designed the auditory facilities.
Miss Colleen Marks, assistant
professor of Communication Disorders,
supervised the language therapy aids.
Robert S. Asby acted as program conror,

sultant.

Currently under the fulltime supervision of Ned Kramp, and parttime
direction of Miss Marks, the speech
bus has been on the road since the beginning of February.
Federal funds
made available through the Elementary and Secondary Educational Act
(ESEA) Title III financed the construction and maintenance of the vehicle.
Its use has been widespread in the
past three months, serving more than
two thousand school age children
from kindergarten to twelfth grade.
Intermediate Units 16, 18, and 29 actually own the bus but it is on “perpetual loan to Bloomsburg State,” noted
Dr. Bryden.
Although the main purpose of Title
III was to promote innovative educational projects in public school districts and to change the country’s attitude toward the general scene of
American public education, the speech
bus provides other valuable services

There is a possibility that in the future industrial hearing tests will be administered from the van. Mr. Kramp

the fight against drugs, Michael tells
his story, the story of how a typical
“nice boy” from a small town becomes part of the drug scene.
When Michael was in high school,
“drugs” were something taken to cure
an illness. But at College, the word
“drugs” took on a new meaning for
the youth.

Previous to his election as judge, he
was chairman of the Rules Committee
of the Court of Common Pleas of
Schuylkill County whose work constituted the first re-writing of the Rules
of Practice since 1922.
Before going on the bench, he was
also a member of the Rules Committee
of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and served on the sub-committee which formulated the Rules of Practice relative
to reducing the number of jurors required in civil cases.
In 1971, he received the Democratic
nomination for the position of Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. In the
Primary Election of that year, he
came very close to also winning the
Republican nomination for that post.
In the General Election, he was elected as judge over the candidacy of the

Although the academic facilities at Bloomsburg State College have been
the best on the state level, the athletic facilities have not, and with
this issue of the Alumni Quarterly one can see the college “turning the

among

corner”.

The new Nelson Field House has given the college a most successful
winter sports season. Not only has it served as an adequate area for the
winter sports from a campus standpoint, but is has provided thousands of
area residents with entertainment. And this should be the case with a state
institution.

The basketball, swimming, and wrestling squads all matched the class of
the new field house. It was a pleasure for fans to view the sports events in
a spacious, well-lighted facility.
The new football stadium is expected to be used for the first time in
September, 1974. This will certainly be an improvement. The other outdoor
teams will also taste the new areas for the first time during that school year
of 1974-75.

Anyone who is affiliated with sports knows of the problems which the
coaches and athletic staff encounter when teams must be shuttled off campus
Fans feel they are infringing upon student space if they
for practices.
attend the contests which are held in areas which seat a small number. This
was proven last winter when a basketball game was played while students
were away. The field house was practically filled as the entire area rallied to
replace the students who were not there.
If the outdoor areas can meet the quality of the new field house, then
Bloomsburg State College will have athletic facilities which are deserving of a
school with such an excellent academic record.

THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE
It is a pleasure to greet you, the alumni,
the fourteenth President of Bloomsburg
State College.
I am honored by tlie recent
appointment and welcome this opportunity
to provide leadership for the college in these
challenging times.
I pledge my unstinting
efforts to provide a focal point for academic
excellence and managerial competence as we
work together to meet the challenges of the
years ahead. In this effort your support is of
prime importance.
The neritage and tradition of the Pennsylvania state colleges is very much a part of
my background. Three generations of my
family are products of Pennsylvania state
colleges.
For the past eight years, I have
enjoyed the privilege of serving Shippensburg
State College in a number of capacities. This
background of tradition and experience has
provided me with a firm understanding of the
Pennsylvania state college system, its historical heritage, and its mission for
today and the years to come.
The Pennsylvania state colleges have experienced an exciting period of
growth and change during the 1960’s. It is my feeling that, during the 1970’s,
they will continue in a dynamic way to revise their goals and objectives, to
broaden their missions and to continue to increase the quality of their educational programs in a way which will enable them to better serve the society which
created and supports them. Further, I believe in the future of public higher education in Pennsylv'ania and that these institutions will be involved in a creative,
challenging and exciting experience in the next decade.
This administration at Bloomsburg \vill be committed to the idea that the
college must serve the eitizens of the Commonwealth as a multi-purpose insti-

as

tution.

Economic and social pressures throughout the country are exerting tremendous influences on educational institutions for new services to meet changing
needs.
The total program of our institution’s academic, cultural, and social
goals must be upgraded and expanded to meet these needs. Teacher education
remains a major function, but other possible cmricula must be explored, developed, and expanded.
Because the college is situated in a growing area of the Commonwealth,
it must continue to develop and improve its services as a multi-purpose institution in order to meet the needs of the students and the region it serves. I firmly
believe that the state college and university system in Pennsylvania has a vital
role to play and a tremendous contribution to make to the eitizens of the Commonwealth. This contribution encompasses not only quality undergraduate and
graduate programs but cultural activities, in-service programs, continuing education programs and athletic activities for the regional comunity as well.
Tims, the mission of Bloomsburg State College is a changing one. It is
important that you, as alumni, are involved in and aware of the changes. As
alumni, you can play an important role as “good will ambassadors” for Bloomsburg. Through your efforts, we will be able to reeruit more students, share
important information about the college with community groups, and support
More than ever, Bloomsburg needs her alumni to know and
vital programs.
understand her mission — we welcome your help in telling the Bloomsburg
story effectively!

Mrs. McCormick and I look forward to meeting and greeting
personally in the near future.

Dr.

James H. McCormick, newly

president of Bloomsburg

measure of the success of a college
president depends on the degree to
which he “can envision new horizons

and can persuade

others to see them and work toward
them.’’
“As the chief planning officer of the

responsibility for the direction of cur-

rent and long-range planning related
to institutional goals, academic programs, teaching approaches, public
service, enrollment projections, and
physical development.”
He added that the president must
actively involve all members of the
college community in such planning,
and he made it clear that he considers the Alumni a constituent group in
the college community.
Following the announcement of his
appointment July 30 by Gov. Milton
J. Shapp. Dr. McCormick pledged that
“I have a committment to the principles of old-fashioned honesty, openness and truthfulness, and these will

Dr. McCormick, 34, was in California on leave from his duties as

Vice President for Administration at
Shippensburg State College when the
appointment was announced. He was
traveling throughout the United States
under the auspices of the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities,

visiting

selected

colleges

and universities to study personnel
practices and the administrative organization

of

those

institutions.

He

terminated his trip immediately and
returned to Pennsylvania in August
to arrange to assume the BSC presidency September 1. He will succeed
Dr. Charles Carlson, who has been
Acting President the past year.

AUTUMN,

New

President

“I am deeply grateful for the honor
bestowed upon me by the appointment
and welcome the opportunity to pro-

vide leadership for Bloomsburg State
College. I pledge to all members of
the College community my unstinting
efforts to provide a focal point for
academic excellence and managerial
competence as we work together to
meet the challenges of the years ahead. In this effort I ask for support
of the faculty, the students, the administrative
staff, alumni, the Board of
Trustees and the citizens of the
Bloomsburg area.
“It is essential that any college
president be able to work in harmony
with the many constituent elements of
the college community.
I
have a
strong commitment to the collegial
concept of administration and believe
that the president must confer regularly with colleagues from each of the
constituent groups, including the alumni and the Board of Trustees, so
that ideas can be discovered, discussed and developed for the improvement and advancement of the institution.
In keeping with this collegial
concept of administration, I hope to
involve the faculty and students as
well as members of the administrative
team in the process of institutional

governance.
“Personally, I have been most impressed with the selection process employed by the Presidential Search and
Screening Committee.
The active
involvement of faculty, students, alum-

and representatives of the Board of
Trustees in this endeavor indicates to
me a healthy willingness to work together in harmony for the ultimate
best interests of the college.”

Dr. Carlson served as Acting President for the year following the resignation of Dr. Robert Nossen in 1972.
Dr. Nossen had succeeded Dr. Harvey
A. Andruss, who retired in 1969 following 30 years as president.
The list of institutional leaders begins with Henry Carver, who started
the Normal School movement in Pennsylvania. He served as principal from
1869 to 1871. Charles G. Barkley and
John Hewett followed, each serving
one year. Hewett was succeeded by

summer to teach graduate courses in
weaving. Ms. Ward taught at Bloomsburg from 1968-70.

NEW RESIDENCE HALL
FOR

PLANNED

250 IS
Nearly a century has passed since
the first dormitory built at BSC was
destroyed by fire. A year later, the
first “wing” of what is now Waller
Hall arose on the site of the old
building.
Two other “wings” were
added, about 1890 and 1905, and Waller Hall has since occupied a large
portion of the total campus area.
Time and the elements, and a lot

hard use have taken their toll, and
“Old Waller” is scheduled for demolition to provide the site for a new
of

residence hall for 250 students.
Design and planning are nearly completed, and unless costs increase too
rapidly,
could
begin
construction
early in 1974 with an anticipated completion date by September, 1975.
The new building will occupy a
much smaller site than the present
sprawling structure. As a result more
area will be devoted to lawns, and
more space will be available for the
planting of trees, flowers, and shnibbery. This, in turn, will enhance the
beauty of the south entrance to the
Kehr College Union.
Prior to the beginning of demolition
of Waller Hall, new quarters must be
found for faculty members, administrative personnel, student organizations, the college store, and the college
security office.
Some faculty members will be assigned offices for a limited time in the
Waller Administration Building, pending the completion of renovations in
Navy Hall and Hartline Hall. Others
will be assigned to new office areas in
Sutliff Hall; all classrooms and offices
in Sutliff are air conditioned following
the recent completion of a $138,000

project for that purpose.
The college store and security office will be moved to the former
College Commons.
Student offices
will move to the Kehr Union.
In addition to the 125 student rooms,
the new four story residence hall
will have a resident advisor’s apartment, study rooms, lounge areas, a
TV room, a project room, a laundry
room, and storage areas.

An attractive patio leads to the
main entrance of the first level which
faces the west end of the campus.
This area includes the formal lounge;
a game room; the mail receiving and
distribution center
(including mailboxes for all students who live offcampus); the college bank; a TV
room; a locker room for commuting
students; several offices; four bowling alleys.
The second level is accessible from
a patio area on the north side facing
the terraces and Montour and Schuylkill
Residence Halls.
Specialized
areas on this floor include a snack
bar and dining area; a large multipurpose room which can be subdivided into smaller rooms by means
of folding partitions; the college infirmary; a receiving area and loading dock; offices for the director of
student activities and his assistant;
an information center.

The third level may be reached by
stair towers on the north, east, and

Offices for student organizations, offices and workrooms
for student publications, a game room,
conference rooms, and a listening
room are among the featured areas
on this level. The mechanical room,
which houses all the equipment for
air-conditioning the entire building, is
also located on the third level.
John Mulka, director of student

torial in the “Saturday Review” impresses this point still farther, by acknowledging that artists not only enrich their countrymen, but also the
entire quality of life. In a democracy.
Art, with a capital A, must be available to people from all walks of life,
not restricted or reserved to an exclusive elite, whether aristocratic or
intellectual. Art must be allowed to
touch anyone willing to take the time
to behold it. And it is to this end that
the Department of Art has embarked
on a program to erect significant examples of outdoor sculpture on the
campus of Blooms burg State College.

The

commission

completed
last year was made possible through
a gift from the senior class of 1971.
It enabled the erection of a handsome
oak structure located between the
Bakeless Center for the Humanities
and the Andruss Library. Weighing
over one ton, the sculpture, entitled
“Totem II,” was created by Thomas
first

Althouse, sculptor-in-residence at Lehigh University. The piece was selected by a Sculpture Acquisition Committee consisting of the department
chairman, two members of the art department, and a senior art student.
The second acquisition, also made
by a gift from the Class of 1971, is in
the form of a Cor-Ten steel fountain
piece designed by Ms. Odell Prather,
a sculptress from the Philadelphia
area. This unusual outdoor sculpturefountain will be located in a specially
designed reflecting pond constructed
of concrete, faced with brick in the
vicinity of the Andiaiss Library in an
area that will eventually serve as a
pedestrian mall between the library

and Bakeless Hall.
The most recent project consists of a
pair of environmental “Tonal Sculptures” designed by Joseph Moss from
University of Delaware who has been
experimenting

with auditory-kinetic
sculpture for the past two years under
the sponsorship of a university grant.
Sensitive to sound and the interaction
of people are two 9’ high black fiber
glass reflectors on Cor-Ten steel bases
located in front of the Haas Center
for the Arts.
Mosses’ works have
been made possible through a grant by
the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts
and the National Endowment for the
Arts, and represents the first grant of
this type for a work of art in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Sports fans had an opportunity for
the first time this year to view a

grouping of bronze “Huskies” installed
in the entryway of the new Nelson
Fieldhouse located on the upper campus. This project was funded through
a class gift which paid for the bronze
casting of this handsome sculpture
by a former art department faculty
member, Howell Pinkston. Members
of the art department worked together

with the architect to install this onehalf ton wall relief.
Small sculptural works located in
various buildings throughout the campus include a brass and plexiglas
sculpture by J. J. Kelly, author of
“The Sculptural Idea” and a professor of art at Kutztown State College;
a Cor-Ten steel wall relief by Arturo
Bassols, a Cuban born sculptor called
“Nereid” located in the foyer of Bakeless Hall; a luminetic “Light Column”
by Dr. Walter F. Groer of CarnegieMellon University in Pittsburgh; and
ceramic sculptures by Ronald F. Bower, a former Blooms burg State College art faculty member and Olen
Bryant, a sculptor from Tennessee.
In order to continue the acquisition
of significant examples of sculptural
work, the department of art needs
additional funds.
An account was
established in the Bloomsburg Foundation in 1971 to accept and disburse
monies for the acquisition of sculpture
and a committee formed at that time
to select appropriate works to enhance
the campus.

X-COUNTRY PROSPECTS
DEPEND ON FROSH
Coach Clyde Noble has indicated the
prospects for this season are somewhat vague at the present time due to
the question mark concerning incoming freshmen.
Noble has made a
number of contacts with good runners
who will be matriculating at Bloomsburg and who will hopefully report
for the team during the first week of
classes.

The
squad

main

from last year’s
is Terry Lee,
an outstanding
runner who graduated in May. Three
loss

—

seniors will be in uniform this year
Bob Quairoli, Mike Hippie, and Larry
Horwitz,
along
with
junior
Bart
Grimm. These four are steady performers and with the help of incoming

freshmen, Noble should improve on
last year’s 2-8 record.

The Husky schedule calls for a
quad-meet and two tri-meets at home
and three single engagements on the
road with the Pennsylvania Conference Championships to be held at
West Chester on November 3.

The Board of Directors also discussed and emphasized that the McNinch
Loan Fund has money available for
students’ use. These funds are pai'ticularly

for

sophomores and juniors

but under certain conditions freshmen
are also eligible. This was emphasized in view of the recent rise in tuition at state colleges.

A report was given on the recent
plea for funds with which to operate
the general fund in view of the fact
that the Foundation, which has been
rather dormant during the past year,
has not been able to contribute money
to the general operation.

1973 Class Appointee

Autumn, 1973

With much enthusiasm I am bringing this message to Alumni of Bloomsburg State
College. Early returns from our recent plea indicate that the financial situation of
the Alumni Association is vastly improved.
To refresh our memories, the Foundation had taken over the Association’s
financial responsibility, and promised to provide the necessary money to meet our
budget.
However, the Foundation met with some difficulties during the 1971-72
college year, was virtually dormant during the 1972-73 college year, and could not
provide funds necessary for Association needs.
During the latter months of 1972,
officials of the Foundation and the Alumni Association agreed to have the Association resume its own fund-raising program.
The cost of the Alumni Quarterly alone is a substantial figure. We hope that the
summary which you received recently will explain how the money is spent.
To those who have contributed, we issue a big “thank you.’’ If you have not
found it convenient to contribute, we hope you will do so as soon as possible. Your
Association needs you.
Late news announced the appointment of Dr. James H. McCormick as the new
president of BSC. We are happy to welcome him to our group, and we note that he
believes the Alumni Association to be a very important part of the college community.
The Alumni Association Board of Directors also desires to express great appreciation to Dr. Charles Carlson, who demonstrated a sincere interest in the Association
during his time as Acting President. His was a real task, but he still found time to
meet with our Board of Directors and with small special groups.
Congratulations to both Dr. Carlson and Dr. McCormick.
Cordially,

C,

Looks Ahead and Outlines Neiu Goals

The Pennsylvania Department of
Education has directed each of the 14
State Colleges and University to establish a Presidential Planning Commission for the purpose of drafting a
long-range plan for its role in meeting the needs of the future in higher

education in Pennsylvania.

During the Pall each institution
submitted to the department an initial and tentative statement from the
institution’s perspective concerning its
concept of the institution’s role for
the future.
After review in Harrisburg the initial statement will be revis^ and used as a basis for a more
detailed
and comprehensive longrange plan. The final plan is to be
in May.
The following “Concept Document’’
was submitted by the BSC Presidents
ial Planning Commission as its initr
ial and tentative statement concerning the missions and future of the col-

completed

lege:
Institutional Philosophy

Bloomsburg State College is dedicated to intellectual and academic
excellence.
The college community
seeks

understand

changing
scientific, ecologic, and human needs
in the world and, in order to achieve
and maintain this excellence and
to

the

imderstanding, the institution finds it
appropriate to commit itself further to

a certain set

of beliefs:

Eklucation consists of

1.

much more

than

coursework assignments, degrees, and the simple gathering of
facts.
Rather, education is the maturing of the mind and the emotions,
it is the acquiring of values and attitudes; it is a liberating process
in
which the interrelationships of all of
life’s

experiences become understand-

able.

Genuinely free inquiry has great

2.

value.
It also solves problems, helps in bringing about positive
change, and is an important factor in
the liberating process called educaintrinsic

tion.
3. Every person is unique and deserving of dignity. Education should
involve the whole person and should
provide a life-long opportunity to pursue
that
special
self-fuUfillment
which education can bring.
4.
Technology and
its
products
have helped to solve maior problems
over the years. However, the ability of people to deal with one another
effectively and without rancor has
not kept pace with the development of

that technology.
Mankind has not
yet learned to accommodate the results of advanced technology to the
5.
continuation of a
productive
life.

Education in general and institutions
of higher learning in particular have
important responsibilities in helping
to develop that accommodation.
Higher education is not an end in
itself.
Rather, it is a tool used for

personal development and the impro-

vement of human society. While the
service area of Bloomsburg
State
College is in many ways as broad as
society itself, the college recognizes
a special responsibility to the people,
organizations,
and
institutions
in
areas connected with it by virtue of
tradition,
transportation
networks,
geographical closeness, and special
service relationships.
These beliefs demand that the college continuously reevaluate its programs and its allocation of resources
which support those programs. ’These
beliefs also find expression in the
following missions of the college.
Missions
1. The college shall first serve the
citizens of the Commonwealth by offering to all who seek it a liberalizing and general education. ’This liberal education lies at the heart of the
institution’s efforts, and
aU other
missions of the college stem from this
central core.
2. While continuing
its
commitment to the preparation of elementary and secondary classroom teachers of quality, the college will adjust
the numbers of these teachers in the
future in response to the needs of
the Commonwealth and of this region.
The college will continue to respond
both to the desires of students and to
the needs of society.
The college’s
preparation of teachers will continue
its refinement on the basis of competency to teach.
3. It will continue to strengthen and
will slightly enlarge its programs in
business.
Noticeable growth wUl occur in the areas of management, finance, marketing,
and
information
systems.
4. It will strengthen selected graduate programs, will develop several
new programs of graduate study, and
will conduct and encourage instruction-related research by its student

body and

will measurably expand, by
of both interinstitutional co-

operative efforts and independent initiative, opportunities for the continuing, life-time education of the citizens of this region.
The extent tc
which this function will become a
major activity of the college can be
seen under Objectives, which follow.
6. It will provide a responsive and
resDonsible effort in serving the nublic
of the region through the utilization of
the college’s human, intellectual, professional,
and physical resources.
’This service will be notable in its
willingness to go to where the people are, in its resource-team approach

The major new program of the

health care deliyery systems, will be
developed in three phases:
A. During the first two
years,
consolidation and integration of
existing programs in pre-medicine, pre-dentistry,
pre- veterinary medicine, medical technology, public school nursing, and dental hygiene will occur.
In addition, formal and cooperative ar-

rangements

will

be

undertaken

with area institutions
delivering
health care.
B. Beginning at the same time
but continuing into the future, additional baccalaureate and vocational programs in such areas as
nursing,
occupational
therapy,
physical therapy, cytotechnology,
radiologic technology,
electroencephalographic and electrocardiographic techniques
and skills,
medical and biological photography, hospital computer programming, medical records techniques,
medical secretarial science, inhalation
therapy,
optometric
techniques, and optician training
will be studied and probably developed.
C. In anproximately five years,
these programs will be consolidated further under a major new organizational unit of the college.
Additional
facilities
and staff,
some holding joint appointment
with area institutions, will be added.

Rationale
This document portrays a

college

conduct many of its programs along predictable development-

which

will

al lines.
No rationale is offered for
these plans. But the paper also describes four major new changes in emphasis or direction for Bloomsburg
State College: the significant reduction of teacher education degree recipients, the development of major
efforts in continuing education and
public service, the initiation of postsecondary vocational programs below
the baccalaureate
level,
and the

mounting

of

a major new and

inte-

grated program in health care delivery systems. These changes call for
substantiation.

Bloomsburg State College has had
increasing difficulty in placing its
teacher education graduates (except
in such fields as business education,
special education, and communication disorders) in the past few years.
This factor, combined with national
and Commonwealth manpower needs
requires that the number of
teachers prepared by the college be
reduced.
This institution will experience a
reduction in the number of 18-22 year
old applicants for admission in the
immediate future. At the same time,
the people of the Susquehanna flood
plain will be experiencing those social
studies,

forces which

demand

retraining,

en-

richment, and career reorientation.
As industry and communities continue
to develop throughout the area, the
skills represented on the staff of the
college can be of increasing use in

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

;

that development.
The program In
public service and continuing education will be the institution’s reaction
to these factors.
No junior or community college
lies
within almost fifty
miles
of
Bloomsburg. Further, those lying
just outside that commuting radius
offer a limited number of programs
in vocational preparation.
With its

broader

resources

special physical plant and faculty resources, the proximity of several
major health care delivery institutions, and the lack of comprehensive
and integrated health care education
programs in this part of the Commonwealth all argue for the development
of a program such as the one outlined
in this document. The college has received encouragment and support for
its plan from the staffs of most neighboring health care institutions.

Changes To Be Made Within
Years

1-5

All objective
statements
above,
with the exception of objectives 1, 9C,
and 9P, contain descriptions of changes anticipated within this time period.
Please refer to that section for
those descriptions.
Description of New FacUities Needed
In general, the college’s plan requires no extensive new construction
within the next decade. Better utilization of existing campus facilities
and of land currently owned by state,
county, and other governmental agencies
(parks,
state
hospital,
and
municipal facilities and structures)
can meet many of the facility
needs
of
the
programs outlined
above. It is clear, however, that renovation, remodeling, redesign, and
replacement of some existing facilities will be required as the internal
functions of the college are realigned.
Some rental or lease arrangements
may also be required to support the
public service and continuing education function.
Due to the college’s intent to broaden and diversify its curricular approaches, a learning research center
is advisable to implement greater inquiry into the learning process. ’The
function of this facility would be that
of Improving
the
teacher-learning
process. Such a facilitv would simultaneously serve faculty
research
projects, student research,
special
projects and services, and projects
involving members and agencies of
the community.
A precise description of this facility is not possible
at this time.
The principal facilitv required by
the plans outlined in this document,
however, is that required
for the
long-range support of the programs
encompassed by the new organizational unit devoted to education In
the health care delivery system area.
The location and specific nature of
this facilitv will be dictated bv the
nature of the programs themselves,
but the reouirement for a new and
malor facilitv to support these programs is now annarent.

changes having implications for retrenchment of some faculty members.
In the spirit of cooperative concern
with the development of excellence in
the educational opportunities provided
through the Colleges, the representatives herewith report on their discussions and express their mutual understandings of three maior conclusions.
First, the COMMONWEALTH/COLLEGES announces that for the aca-

1974-1975, no retrenchment
will occur in the following groups of
regular full-time faculty members:
tenured faculty, first-year and secondyear faculty members eligible for re-

Evening Division

Course Offerings

Are Increased
In an endeavor to provide increased
opportunities
for
area
residents, Bloomsburg State College
plans to increase its evening division
course offerings, to implement a pro-

educational

gram of mini-courses, and to allow
attendance for self-improvement in
certain degree classes this Spring
semester. The Chamber of Commerce
is cooperating with the Office of Continuing Education at the College acting as an intermediary for dissemination and planning in these programs
as well as in future ones.
Evening division credit courses are
being increased from thirty-five offerings to approximately sixty-five.
Introductory courses are being offered
in most departments with a variety of
courses available. A sample of offerings which may be of special interest
to Chamber members includes Business and Professional Speech, Business Law, and Personnel Management. At the present time qualifications for enrollment as a continuing
education student in the evening division are a high school diploma and
completion of a two-page application
form which may be obtained from the
College Admission Office (389-3316).
A complete list of course offerings
may be obtained from the Office of
Continuing Education (389-3300).
Mini courses which are short-term
non-credit courses are also included in
plans for the coming semester. These
courses are designed to serve specific
needs or interests of the community.
Far reaching in their scope, these can
be further study of current issues, reviewing of previously developed skills,
or retraining for new employment opportunities. Chamber members could
utilize these as in-service programs,

personnel management, furthering secretarial skills.
Based on the
assesment of business, professional,
and industrial needs, the Office of
Continuing Education is available for
planning and implementing specific
e.g.

programs
Certain regular college courses are
being made available to any interested
individual for self Improvement purposes only not for credit or audit.
These are offered for a nominal fee
and no admission requirements have
to be met. ’This program is designed
for those interested in increasing their
own knowledge in a subject or field,
without obtaining a grade or credit for

—

it.

’These modifications are part of the
College’s effort to responsibiv .<;prve
the public of the region through effective utilization of its resources.

LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP
Robert Richey, Dept, of Speech, has
been awarded a Lifetime Membership
in the Players’ Club Foundation. ’The

to carry out many of the programs
which the various committees have

recommended, it will be necessary to
employ a full time director.
In order to do that the Alumni Association (which numbers more than
14,000) will be asked to contribute to
this fund which will make this a reality.
Announcement will be made in
the Quarterly which will be published

be used in order to inform the Alumni
of the planned program.
The board of directors hopes to expand due to the many areas which
hopefully will be covered during the

next few years.
Francis Galinski,
Doylestown, chairman; Dr. Frank
Furgele, Glen MiUs; Dr. Alex McKechnie, Camp Hill; and Clayton
Hinkel, Bloomsburg, are serving on
that committee.
This group will recommend the number of proposed increases in board membership plus
a rotating system of serving on the
board.
Student loans were also discussed
during the two and one half hour
business meeting. The directors stressed the fact that the Alumni Association has money for student needs
and loans are readily available
through the financial aid office or the
counseling office.
Clayton Hinkel reported that two
Distinguished Service Awards will be
given at Alumni Day on April 27.
Earl Gehrig, treasurer, reported on
finances of the Association.
Boyd Buckingham, Associate Vice
President for Development and Public Relations at BSC, reported on the
December 4 trip to Harrisburg by students of Bloomsburg State. He stated
that the faculty

who accompanied

the

group were proud of the conduct and
appearance of the students. The Al-

umni Association had

financially aided

in the cost of transportation.

Buckingham also annuonced that
the college will provide supportive
services if and when the Alumni Association appoints an executive director for the group.
In addition to the drive for this important office, the constitution committee (which brought forth this recommendation) also came up with
some other recommendations for consideration
among them. Alumni
members hosting college functions
organization of regional meetings; and
methods of acquainting new students
with the college.
It was felt that
many of these important ventures
will depend upon the naming of an
executive director.

major objective
is

of the proto provide the future teacher,

as well as the experienced classroom
teacher of Spanish and students in
general, a better knowledge of the
people of the country and their culture, ideas, and customs. As a result
of experience, participants will be
able to say, “I was there in Spain"
and answer more questions relative to
the people themselves and their way
of life. Additionally, the student will
gain a greater command of the Spanish language, since Spanish will be

spoken by the group throughout the
program.
The program also includes trips to
Toledo, Monasterio del Escorial, Valle

1973 Class Appointee

Winter, 1974

With this issue of the Alumni Quarterly 1 am officially announcing a
revolutionary plan in the operation of the Bloomsburg State College Alumni
Association as proposed by the Board of Directors at the December 8 meeting.
It is planned to secure the services of a full time Executive Director of
the Alumni Association and to considerably expand our operations. In order
to accomplish all of this the directors decided to conduct an effective drive
which will realize returns of approximately $50,000.
I will hastily state that no money will be wasted.
However, the committee on revision of the constitution took a long look at our operation and definitely felt that the Association should be attempting and accomplishing on a
larger scale. In order to do this, a full time executive director is mandatory.
The Board of Directors now serving are a dedicated group, and all have
done well in their fields of endeavor. Without exception, this Board feels
that Bloomsburg State was responsible for their start in the professional
world, and they will forever be grateful.
We hope that you feel the same way. Most state colleges have far surpassed Bloomsburg in the matter of contributing to the Alumni FYind, but
prior to this venture, we have not felt the need for heavy solicitation.
Much of the material in this Quarterly is angled toward this new movement. If you will help us in this endeavor, we are certain that we can produce results which will make you proud to be an Alumni Association member
of the Bloomsburg State College.
Sincerely,

Millard C. Ludwig
President

during the 1973-1974 college year. Your alma mater received a sufficient amount
to pay salaries and wages, to restore depleted inventories of instructional and
maintenance supplies, to make a substantial increase in the purchase of library
books, and to complete critical repair projects.
During the March meeting of the Board of Trustees, we were encouraged
by reports from both the admissions and placement offices. A detailed account
of both reports are included in this issue of the Quarterly.
We are expecting to maintain our current enrollment of 4,300 full-time

have so favorably impressed their employers that the latter are willing and
happy to offer positions to current graduates.

The term ‘meaningfully

who have part-time jobs, or are considered to be only temporarily employed, are counted as not being placed.

And if the truth were known, undoubtedly Floyd

both Division II and Major College categories, and Ron
Sheehan, winner of his Class in NCAA Division II, provided experiences similar to that described above.
All of these men came to Bloomsburg when there were
problems in administration which were affecting athletics.

THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE
A year has passed since I was installed
the fourteenth president of your alma
mater.
Undoubtedly, you will be interested
in a brief progress report or account of my
as

stewardship to date.

From my

perspective, the past year has

been characterized by excitement, challenge,
constructive endeavor, and people working
together to provide new and improved opportunities in higher education, based upon the
strengths and traditions of Bloomsburg’s 135
years of service.
In mid-May, members of our Planning
Commission went to Harrisburg to present
the highlights of our
for 1974-1976.

Two

Year Action Plan

Our plan had been

carefully

and conscientiously prepared, and we have
since received positive reports from the
reviewing committee. In addition our Action
Plan proved to be invaluable both in the final
aration of our 1974-75 budget, and in the preliminary preparation of our
get for the 1975-76 fiscal year.

a

Perhaps the most exciting and rewarding results of our planning effort were
the selection of a Director of Nursing to plan for the implementation of a new
program in Nursing, expansion of the School of Business, initiation of an
Outw’ard Bound program, increased opportunities for citizens interested in
l.ifelong Learning Experience and continued emphasis on the already existing
programs of excellence in Arts and Science, Teacher Education and graduate
stuay.
I share with the college community the thrill and pride of seeing our

“We can reach our goal with the

I don’t mean just dollars but volunteer help too. This is a big job and it
will require the cooperation of several hundred individuals to achieve
success.
Please say yes, when you
are asked to work in the campaign
organization.”
The benefits to each alumnus are
very worthwhile and will put the BSC
Alumni Association on an equal footing with other comparable colleges.
For example, with a full-time Alumni

easy access to information on admissions, job opportunities, and

Further, your

Two-Year Action Plan
During the past year nearly the encampus family of students, facperadministration and staff
sonnel as well as alumni and community representatives participated in
the preparation of a Two-Year Action
Plan for Blooms burg State College.
The plan, a road map into the future
of
for B.S.C.
proposes refinement

of new programs to meet the changing
educational needs of a large, diverse
student body and a rapidly changing

Some

of the pro-

posed changes are being implemented this
year.
Two departments
have been created in the School of
Business; a Director of Nursing has
been appointed to plan and prepare
for enrollment of students in
the
Nursing curriculum in September,
1975; and the faculty in the Departments of Special Education, Communication
Disorders,
Phychology
and Sociology have been strengthened.

The summary that follows

action plan.

MISSION I: Liberal Studies
In general, instruction offered by
the seventeen academic departments
of the School of Arts and Sciences,
whether applied by the student to his
required effort in general education,
an advanced major study for a B.A.
degree or to an area concentration or

to

qualification for the various B.S. degrees and programs of the college, is
interpreted in this report to be training in Liberal Education.
Under this interpretation, at present,
75% of the instruction in the college
and 67.2% of the effoils of the faculty
are devoted to Liberal Education.

Whatever plans are adopted
future, this proportion
effort required of the

of

the
education
in

academic departments will very likely remain
approximately the same.
The primary goal of Liberal Education is to guide all the students of
the college along the path towards
rational self-determination, and to enable them to develop basic skills in
the arts of thinking, reading and oral
and written expression. The second
purpose is to provide specialized training to those students preparing for
professional courses in medicine, law,
the ministry, the humanities, the
social sciences, and the natural sci-

ences
Although the general purposes of the
.

liberal arts program \^1 remain the
same in the next five years, specific
adjustments will be made in various
categories of instruction offered by
the college because of several relevant changes in the needs of the stu-

dents and the region served by the

greatly increased participation by
minority groups and women in the
general affairs of society, an increased need to respond to conditions produced by the recent accelerated
growth of knowledge, and the rapidly
increased rate of obsolescence in
many occupations owing to technological

and social change.

In order to implement its continuing purposes more effectviely than it
has in the past, and in order to accommodate the foregoing changes in
educational needs in the liberal arts,
the college proposes to encourage the
expansion of faculty concern about
problems related to the stduents’
facility in oral and written communications, to increase the emphasis in
the liberal arts on the interrelated
nature of the branches of knowledge
taught in present courses of the vari-

academic departments,

specifically, these course pro-

programs would involve such
diverse activities as Environmental
Science, Health Care, integration of
the library and computer science with
other disciplines, establishing studies
leading to positions in the governmental services and administration,
expanding pre-professional programs,
integrating quantitative methods with
studies in the natural and social
sciences together with those in humanities, extending support for the Center

Economic Education through new
course alignments, integration of the

Sciences,
implementing an A. B.A.
Program in Social Administration
and Rural-Urban Affairs, organizing
a Bachelor of Social Work pro^am in
Social Welfare, and developing the

Outward Bound program.
Further proposals would call for
expanding Blooms burg’s cooperation
with other educational, medical, stateinstitutional and information-collecting
and retrieving institutions in the College’s area of influence; and for extending the services of the College to
a larger proportion of the citizens of
the Commonwealth, including disadvantaged and minority groups, adults
beyond the age of 18-22 years, and
part-time students of all ages.
To meet the needs of this redirection of effort

and expansion

of influ-

ence, the College’s programs in liberal
studies will require a moderate increase in financial support by the
Comonwealth in the 1974-1975 academic year, and a further projected cumulative increase in each succeeding
year for at least five years. Wherever possible, the College will seek
grants and gifts to support its new expanded efforts in this area.
If the College gains the required

support and proceeds to develop its
liberal studies programs along the
general lines herein described, it will
more effectively serve the Common-

MISSION II: Teacher Education
Most of the faculty of this College
is committed to some degree to the
instruction of students in teacher eduEven with an impending recation.
duction in the number of teacher students, this effort will continue, for the
education of a teacher involves not
only preparation of a professional
nature, but it also includes all of the

spheres of recognized knowledge inherent in a liberal education.
In the immdeiate future a decrease
in the 18-22 year-old group of undergraduate students enrolled in teacher
education in programs is anticipated,
except in the areas of Communication
Disorders and Special Education. Despite this decline, it is possible that associated staffing levels will not be reduced. Rather, they might be redir-

ected toward

A clear

commitment to Competencybased Teacher Education is part of
this

mission,

with definite steps

from a time/credit base to a performance/credit base.
The impliin this commitment include
greater faculty and space flexibility.
A natural outcome is the need for an
Experimental Learning Center to
house faculty, clinics, and other facilities for a transient student population of all ages in order to support
research and experimentation toward
a better understanding of the teaching-learning processes.
’The demand
for this facility is now considered
urgent.
While each department within the
School of Professional Studies has
emphasized the need for the ultimate
construction
of
the
Experimental

has some specific requirements for

The need for college-prepared personnel to fill positions in management

the next decade, according to both
federal and state estimates.

State College, with its tradition of excellence in business education, has
responded to these demands and will
continue to do so even more vigorously in the future.
While continuing to maintain and
improve its business education program, the School of Business at the
College can be expected to direct the
major portion of its efforts and the
bulk of its resources to the further
development of programs in business
administration-related areas and in
an attempt to serve better a number
of constituencies.

To support that project, additional
staff will be needed. During the period 1976-79 the Economics Department

The Depart-

of Economics is also planning a
Master of Arts program to be initiated
in 1974-76.
The Department of Educational

ment

Studies and Services presently offers
graduate courses in Guidance and
Counseling (taken chiefly by master’s

degree candidates in Elementary Education), which need only a few supplementary courses and modest clinical facilities in order to provide a
Master of Education concentration in
Guidance and Counseling that could
lead to certification. ’This is planned
for the period 1974-76.
All such specific programs planned
for the 1974-76 and 1976-79 planning

The

principal

of

interdisciplinary

Master’s degree programs, such as
those named above, will be explored
and extended further into both professional and academic Master’s degree
programs. The College is now instituting independent study and seminar
courses designed for cooperation with
in-service programs in public schools
and intermediate units. Finally, it is
intended that research be encouraged
through the establishment of a budget (initial annual allocation to ap-

proximate $5000) for disbursement by
the School of Graduate Studies. ’This
fund would be used initially to provide modest grants to partially support faculty research projects.
Since graduate programs and their
courses are not financed by budget
allocations to the School of Graduate
Studies but by the budgets of the
schools and departments which offer
the courses, most of the costs of
graduate programs over the next two
years is to be found in the estimates
for those departments included in
Missions I, II, and III. In addition,
the College is considering the following internal appointments:
a half-time assistant to coordinate the advisement in elementary
concentration for the Master of

Education degree
a half-time specialist in elementary education to handle independent and seminar course experiences
involving the coordination of in-service work with these courses
the addition of at least one specialist in reading for the reading

iences will seek (a) to provide opportunities

cost; (b) to provide opportunities for

increasing the number of offerings
based on student needs; (d) to increase the availability of life-long
learning experiences thruogh the establishment of off-campus instruction
locations, and e) to provide the college service area with a program of
life-long recreational and sports activities.

During the 1975-76 academic year
the Office of College Extended Programs also plans to establish a dayarea center for the clients of the college community and to offer collegelevel courses for the residents of the
Dallas Correctional Institution within
and outside that institution.
The College will sharpen its sensitivity to community needs and formalize its delivery of public services
through a monitoring system, it will
strengthen the College service to the
regional public schools by establishing
a school study council, it will promote
cooperation between the college and
regional businesses and industries
through an Institute for Administrative Services, and it will prvoide maximum public service by opening the
College’s physical plant to the public.
The College must commit its resources to the people, organizations, and
institutions in the areas
connected
with it by virtue of traditions, transportation networks, geographical proximity, and special service relations.

The development of sub-baccalaureate degree programs is in accord with
the Normal School tradition of the
College.

With

emphasis

on

of

needs, the College plans to form
a
consortium with the regional vocational-technical high schools for the
purpose of analyzing the need for associate degree-level programs in the
technical areas, and to develop and
execute a needs-assessment of the
service region in light of the occupational demands and vocational perceptions of individuals.

This commitment to public service
envisions the college as a resource
center through which individuals of
all ages and socio-economic groupings
may pursue learning for their own
enrichment, stimulation and professional

advancement.

MISSION VIII: Health Care Delivery
A primary mission of the college is
to establish and conduct a major educational program in physical and mental health care to meet the needs of
the region and of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
The impetus for
mental health care delivery came
with the passage of the Mental Health

and Mental Retardation Act of 1966,
which included a redefinition of discharge criteria from institutions so
that more residents are now returned
to their respective communities. The
College’s programs which prvoide the
foundation for additional activities in
physical health care now exist in communication disroders, public school

pre-professional curricula.
Bloomsburg’s location makes it
ideally suited for offering health-oriented programs in affiliation with
other nearby institutions.
Personnel
at Geisinger Medical Center, only
several miles away, have joined with
the Collgee in many health-care endeavors. In addition, the office of a

All of the programs share five features: (1) they
are needed in the region, (2) they
are attractive to students with human

expanding job market, (4) they necessitate a broad interdisciplinary approach, and (5) they can be initiated
in affiliation with local health facilities.

important to have a strong, attractive baccalaureate program to serve
as the main support for other educational endeavors in health care.

MISSION IX: The College Community
Mission IX is comprised of six separate sections, each devoted to various
aspects of student life and concerned
with student activities and programs
outside the formal classrom experience.
Organizing for Counseling

and Advisement
Section A states the need for an
increased number of academic opportunities for both degree and nondegree students
as well as an increased number of professional and
life-time options available to participants in the College’s programs. As
the educational opportunities at the
College increase in number and complexity, with more mature students
enrolling in less structured programs,
it will be essential that the present
programs of recruitment, counseling,

growth in all aspects of life.
Cultural Affairs
Section D of Mission IX proposes
recommendations and procedures to
continue the development of the college as a cultural center for the region.
Interest in enlarging the curriculum and enriching student and
community life through the arts has
^ways been considered one of the
important functions of
Bloomsburg
in

State College. The cultural program
of the College has its basis in the
various
academic
departments
Music, English, Art, and Speech and
Theatre. Most of the cultural climate

of the College and the community is
established through them.
Cultural
events outside the classroom and the
departments, i.e., the Artist and Lecture Series, are planned by the Arts
Council and administered
the
by
Director of Cultural Affairs.
So that the arts program at the
College may become
increasingly
more vital to students, faculty, and
the people of the surrounding area,
more promotion of the arts and more
effort to involve and to educate all
these people are needed. Bloomsburg
State College needs to become a cultural center for our area.
In order to develop the College as
a cultural center, the arts programs
must be developed beyond the Artist
and Lecture Series concept. A fulltime Coordinator of Special Events
must be employed to coordinate the
cultural events on campus and work

to

achieve

an

expanding
outreach
neighboring
regions.
Further use and renovation of existing facilities, both on campus and in

program

into

the area, will aid the arts program,
as will a College-community organization for the arts and
additional
funding from various sources.

Section F of Mission IX recommends that the College should continue and increase its efforts to provide educajtional opportunities for

The College, mindful

to accomplish this duty.

Equal Employment and
Educational

Opportunity Affirmative
Action Plan
Bloomsburg State College, although
located in a rural setting, is not an
isolated segment of society but part
of the world environment.
In its
affirmative action thrust, the College
accepts the academic, societal and
employment challenges to maintain
equal opportunity for all qualified
persons who participate in and serve
its educational processes.
While the responsibility for formulating and implementing the College’s Affirmative Action Plan centers
in the Office of the President and is
administreed by an officer whom he
appoints, an affirmative action commission provides counsel and guidance
to ensure an awareness of its provisions

and applications by college

personnel as well as by outside vendors and contractors.
AH contractual parties are required
to submit written statements with
employee data assuring that female,
racial, ethnic, and, in fact, all minority-groups are encouraged as applicants through the contractors’ recruiting methods and policies. Equalare buUt
stringent procedures
ly
into the recruitment functions in the
employment of the staff of the College.

An

auditing

and reporting system

maintain a current inventory of
employees in all categories and levels,
from both internal and external employment sources, in order to place
will

inconsistencies into immediate focus.
Qualification standards for testing
and selecting personnel must undergo periodic review to keep them as
free as possible from race, sex, and
all other biases.
Information regarding the affirmar
tive action policies of the College will
be disseminated to every known agency, organization and population
center through the advertisements of
the college and aU other means of
communication available to it.
The concerns of the College for fairness and equality of opportunity are
also carefully extended into the areas
of bargaining,
promotion, training,
and the resolution of grievances. The
rights of aU minority groups, and of
women are clearly stated in and protected by the stipulations of the affirmative action policy.
Specific obectives include (1) extensive announcement of vacancies,
(2) clear and precise job descriptions,
(3) impartial appraisal of candidates,
(4) elimination of illegal discrimination, and (5) the expansion of educational and career development plans.

The Acting Afqualified applicants.
firmative Action Officer will conduct
periodic briefing sessions with persons
in leadership positions at all levels to
keep those goals and policies before
those who have authority over these
matters.
The college will take the initiative
in identifying, contacting and informing recruitment sources in order to
encourage applicants from minority

group

groups and women. Its recruitment
procedure is so precise and direct
that in the employment of personnel
for administrative, faculty and support positions the provisions of the
Affirmative Action Plan must be observed in the interest of absolute fairness to all who may aspire to serve
in any of the positions the College has
to offer.

The Educational Opportunity Program, established in 1969, assures
equal educational opportunity for all
so that in recruitment and admission
of students there wiU be no discrimination by race, color, or sex.
The
applicant should have either completed the basic high school courses
or have satisfied supplementary nontraditional criteria.
Freshmen in the
program may carry a reduced academic load and take two non-credit
courses to improve their skills. Financial assistance may also be provided.

The director of the program coordinates it, engages in the recruitment and selection of students, nad
helps develop appropriate ancillary
programs. In order to ensure equity,
the Office of the Vice President for
Student Life serves as a clearing
house for the application of the rules
and regulations on residence halls
and off-campus housing equally to all
students.
The same office requires
that the Counseling Center staff provide opportunities for development of
student potential and that the Place-

ment and Career Development Cenbe available to all students. The

ter

same

non-discriminatory
practices
apply to the Office of Financial Aid
and to participation in student ac-

tivities

.

Careful

evaluation and monitoring
procedures applying to the various
aspects of student life wiU be established and operated by the Office of
the Vice President for Student Life.
Finally, no discrimination as to race,
color, age, or sex wUl be applied in
the recruitment and admission of
graduate students.

THE PRESIDENT’S PAGE
Within the last decade,
the critical issues in higher
education have changed
dramatically. In the early
Sixties, colleges were faced with the problem of
in
overflow enrollments;
the late Sixties, student un-

and allied problems
caused the pubhc to quesrest

tion the value and health
of our entire higher educawe wontion system.

Now

der

how

will

weather the economic

higher education

storm!

Often it seems as if the “crises” reported daily
through our newspapers and other news media are

trump^-up

I assure you that the finanhigher education, for both public and
private institutions, is a very real one! As Chairperson of the Budget and Fees Committee of the thirteen State Colleges and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I am constantly reminded through communication with the Secretary’s office, consultations
with my fellow presidents and colleagues, and dialogues with legislators and other Pennsylvania Department of Education officials that the financial picture isn’t good — nor is it going to get any better in
the near future. You all know the cause of the con-

half trutns.

cial crisis in

cern.

Double

digit inflation

and

rising costs in all

areas of the educational program have outstripped
the funds available from tuition. State and Federal
funds, and other sources.
In addition, the decrease
in the total student population and in the number of
students seeking admission has, and will further,
curtail income.

The

tell us that they are threatWell, public institutions are

extinction.

There is widespread talk that all
threatened too!
students, including those in public institutions, must
be made to pay more of the educational costs. Talk
about extinction!
The charge to students of full
costs would end public higher education as we know
it.
We in public higher education rest upon the
democratic principle that while learning helps the
individual, it also directly benefits
society,
the
government, the economy, and our culture.
Tlius,
we expect society to bear most of the cost of education.
Abandoning this principle and requiring students to pay full costs would dramatically reduce our
enrollments and would bring an end to the historic
tradition of public higher education in America.
To put it blundy, college administrators, both public and private, are “hard pressed” to balance budgets which are “cut to the bone,” much less to have
the financial flexibility to add any of the extras which
are vital to quality programs.
And present indications are that, in the years ahead, there will continue
to be a gap between income and expense — unless
ways can be found not onlv to increase gifts and
grants, but also to reduce the costs of operating
our institutions.
I believe that, in this time of increased gifts and
grants and reduced operating costs, there is a direct
correlation between increased gifts and grants and
reduced operating costs.
All
colleges
and universities
must
be
increasingly
accountable
for more efficient management; for the full utilizaand human resources; and
programs and services in
keeping with contemporarv needs. Only when our
educational and financial “houses are in order” are
we in a position to begin to soheit funds. We have
to face the fact that we do have a product to sell:
in order to sell it, we must be able to make it salable.
Through good business management, fiscal responsibility, economic administrative operation, and qualitv
programs, our product becomes a positive one and
therefore salable.
I seriously doubt that any fund

are all,
however, encouraged by good reports of what is being done and positive projections of what can be
done if funds are available.
Assume then that your alma mater has been able
to pull itself together, to put its financial house in
order.
Your contribution has been solicited and delivered.
How will it make a difference? What can
your dollars do? There are many ways that private
support can be used to enhance the quality of educational progress, to insure that “margin of excellence” which is so desirable. For example:
1. An “Eminent Scholars Program”.
2. Scholarships and loans.
3. Campus beautification projects.
4. Recreational and cultural facilities.
5. Better library
collections, including rare and
valuable editions.
6. Additions to campus art collections.
7. Broader educational opportunities.
8. “Venture Capital” to initiate new and e.xperimental teaching, research, and service projects.

in

“Seed Money” to attract Federal funds
and
foundation money.
Certainlv we must admit
that one compelling reason for alumni giving
is to provide the institution with the important

“percent of response” figures. One of the criteria that some foundations use in
granting
funds is the figure which reveals how well alumni themselves support their alma
mater.
When alumni show good support, foundation
funds may be more likely to be forthcoming.
10. Support of atliletic programs.
11. Support for alumni programs.
If you look at each of our fifty states, you will not
find any truly great college or university which has
been financed entirely by State appropriations. Rather, you will find that all colleges and
universities
which we associate with excellence receive private

support.
Legislators traditionally build basically
sound public institutions: priv'ate bequests, gifts, and
grants aid in the addition of the “margin of excellence.”
Certainly, alumni support will not determine whether the institution will survive, but it will
certainly determine the degree of excellence which
the institution is able to inject into the programs and
facilities in the future.
A recent ad by U. S. Alumni (a combined effort of
approximately one hundred colleges and universities
to enlist alumni support through national advertising) uses the “pride theme.”
It says, “It is a good
feeling to take pride in your accomplishments, your
career, your education.
But there comes a time
when you can afford to take another kind of pride
the pride that comes from “helping”. The- “percentage of response” criteria is still another important responsibility for alumni giving.
The financial needs of our public institutions of
higher education today are acute. They cannot survive in todav’s economic situation, maintaining past
traditions of quality and excellence or projecting
positive, worthwhile aspirations for the future on
public funds alone. Thev will have to receive substantial financial support from outside sources, grants,
foundations, and especially from the alumni. In addition to your monetary gifts, your friendship and
support, and your owai personal successes speak well
for vour alma mater.
Essentially, each graduate is
a public relations agent! Speak out for Bloomsburg
State College and for public higher education!
In
large measure, the future hope of Bloomsburg State
College and all other public institutions like her, rests
upon her products of the past — her alumni.
I am confident she is in good hands!

It’s more than an honor.
Students
who take chemistry courses in an

are
assured
that their program will be equivalent

“An additional advantage is that

The College has been notified by the

University Directors. The resolution
requires college presidents to raise
the housing fee at least $36.00, but no
more than $72.00, per year. It also
stated that the increase could take
effect as early as January, 1975 but
no later than the opening of the fall

The steady rise in
charges for utilities and other housing
costs was cited as the reason for the
increase.
B.S.C. officials decided to wait until
the fall semester to make the mini$36.00 per year increase because
they felt that a January, 1975 increase

Some

sixty B.S.C. students

were

in

attendance at the event, along with
twenty members of the sponsoring organization, the Susquehanna Personnel Management Association, as well
as BSC faculty members and several
national ASPA officers. The student
chapter was organized March, 197

These
efforts were recognized by Susquehanna Personnel Management Association President, Roy Goodlander.
The purpose of the student chapter is
to acquaint students with all phases
of personnel administration and industrial relations.
It likewise serves
as a window of the business world
through which a continuing dialogue
can be maintained between campus

and industry.

“The human resource manager for

He has been
defined as ‘the cataylst of

in his efforts to fit the man to the

The

opportunities for creative, challenging
and innovative people.” In the future, Nicoll sees more self supervision by the employee and self reliance
of the employee along with more enriched jobs.

nounced that the Soviet Union team
will compete against a United States

The match was scheduled
through the joint efforts of Houk and
organizations and businessmen of the

the student C.G.A.
The Soviet Union team, who have

been Olympic and World Champions
since 1956, will be in the United States

a select team to Bloomsburg, including a number of the U. S. wrestlers
who will be participating in the upcoming Pan-American games and the
1976 Olympics. “Probably never again

tangle
with a submarine. And darned if he
didn’t giove that bail; she
plopped
into that mitt of his nice as a piece
of cake.
But when Danny set himself for
the throw into the infield ahead of
an advancing baserunner, his
feet
slipped out from underneath him.
And ker-plunk. He dropped the ball.

By Lynn Henning
His forehead, caked with a
mixture of dust and sweat, was a perfect
match for the mud-spattered arms
blending their muddiness with
the
baseball uniform (Philadelphia Phillies, vintage 1942).
And even though his head hurt
like hell, he was grinning.
Moments earlier, Darmy Litwhiler
had knocked himself unconscious in
a wild scramble for
home plate
which resulted in a crunching collision with St. Louis Catcher Walker
Cooper.
Result: One lOin for the last-place
PhUlies going nowhere on the
last
day of the season (the winning run,
incidentally).
Also, a forced playoff for the pennant
between
the
Brooklyn Dodgers
and the
Cardinals, who won it minus Cooper out
nursing a dislocated shoulder from
the thump by Litwhiler.
Another result; A red and
gold
World Series ring a year later. Litwhiler was playing for, of all people, the St. Louis
Cardinals
who
were so impressed with his hustle
on a last-place team, they quickly
traded for him.
Others over the years, too. have
been impressed with Michigan State’s
head baseball coach of the past 10
years.
Among them, the Baseball
HaU of Fame which displays Litwhiler ’s glove; Jackie Robinson for
Danny’s help in breaking the major
league color barrier, and
one-time
Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick
who saw Litwhiler’s talent for teaching.
If the muddy picture of Litwhiler
doesn’t particularly stand out among
the hundreds of others among
the
larger-than-life baseball
college on
his Jenison Field House office wall,
its lesson does
at least to his mind.
“I teU my players
that
story a

(It actually put
him into two successive World Series with the Cards.)

When he retired as a player in 1951
after 12 seasons, Danny
became a
minor league manager for five years.
“I didn’t like managing pro ball,”
admits the 57-year-old Litwhiler, ‘‘because they don’t believe in teaching,
they believe in winning. That seemed to be the trend
either win or
else.
My theory of baseball is ‘teach
baseball and then win.”
About this time Florida State University contacted Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick to recommend
a
man to set up a baseball program at
the school. FSU was seeking a former player with professional managing experience who could also teach
classes.
Frick said Danny was their

dues Glimpse

of College

At Bloomsburg 75 Years Ago

By Katherine Dalton
Mrs. Isabelle Reilly, of Shenandoah,
Pa., is ninety years old, a remarkable
fact in itself.
However, of most interest to students
and alumni of
Bloomsburg State College is the fact
that she graduated from this school
under her maiden name,
Isabelle
Mullahey, with the class of 1907.
As you can imagine, life at BSC was
very different in those days around
the turn of the century. The trip from

Shenandoah

to Bloomsburg was
a
journey of 28 miles. Perhaps to the
modern-day student the word journey
is too strong to describe such a short
trip.
However, to Mrs. Reilly it was
indeed a journey. She began by taking a horse and buggy to the neighboring town of Ringtown. From there
she proceeded to Rupert by train.
From Rupert, a shuttle was taken to
Bloomsburg, where she was met by
a bus from the school. She returned
home only on long vacations because
of the

of the trip.

At that time, the school was known

There were four buildings,

and auditorium. Old Science was the

with

science building with a laundry in the
basement. Another budding, which
Mrs. Reilly thinks has since been torn
down, was a library, gymnasium, and
housed the practice teaching rooms.
Present-day Waller Hall
was
the
dorm and cafeteria which, interestingly enough, was coed at the time.
Mrs. Reilly reminisces, ‘‘In those
days at Bloomsburg we could enroll
in one of two courses.
One was a
three-year teaching course.
There

was no

then.

When

other was a one-year college prep
course.” Mrs. Reilly enrolled in the
teaching course and was instructed
by some professors who are still remembered, including Professors Sutliff. Hartline, Bakeless,
and Waller.
Also, Tom Elwell, a student from the
towTi of Bloomsburg, was here at that
time.
Student life was quite different in
1907. At 7:00 p.m. in the dorm a bell
was rung signalling aU students to be
in their rooms for the next three
hours.
At 10:00 p.m. a second bell

rang which meant aU lights out. One
of the devilish pranks played by students was to meet in one room at
midnight for a feast. ‘‘I was caught
once and hauled down to the President’s office.” The only special functions at the college were guest lec-

turers and small concerts.
A big
treat for the students was to attend
the local church suppers for a good
meal. This was about the only contact the students had with the town
of

Bloomsburg

itself.

Money was

scarce then too. As Mrs. ReDly remembers, ‘‘my only spending money
was a dollar from Uncle Will on special holidays.”
In 1907. there were two fraternities
on the Bloomsburg campus.
Mrs.
Reilly remembers them as being very
inactive, so inactive she could not
recall their names.
There were no
sororities.
Dress was formal by today’s standards and no girl dared to
smoke a cigarette, let alone anything
else.
It was a five-dav school week,
with no school on Mondays and classes on Saturdays. Science classes were

most major league teams; the Chicago White Sox have used it since its
inception.
He also came up with a novel way
to teach bunting.
Applying
knowledge of what it takes to bunt successfully, (‘‘You have to hit the top
half of the ball with the bottom half
of the bat”), Litwhiler carved a bat
to those specifications,
eliminating
every part of the hickory stick which

bears no value

in bunting.
took his disfigured bat to spring
training and showed it to the late
Cincinnati manager Fred Hutchinson,
Yankee manager Casey Stengel and
White Sox skipper A1 Lopez. AU were
impressed with the results and asked

He

to make them some.
‘‘Made six for Lopez, six for Hutchinson and nine for Casey Stengel,”
LitwhUer muses. ‘‘Two of them won
the pennant and the other one was
runner-up, so I guess it was all right.”
The bats, incidentally, are still on
the market bearing Litwhiler ’s patent.
And now Danny LitwhUer is working on another invention, though not
exactly a new innovation for him:
Another Big Ten championship for
Michigan State.

Danny

popular because the students were
taken on field trips in the surrounding
area. A popular pastime was to take
long walks, some as far as five mUes.

I guess you could say that Bloomsburg State is the ‘‘Ivy League” school
of the Dalton-ReUly dynasty.

The BSC Alumni Association hopes to accomplish many things with the
present financial drive. ’The realization of an executive director in order to
give the Association extended services is only one aspect of the reasons for
the drive.
Recent events have indicated that BSC is being short-changed in many
areas due to limitations placed by the state on budgetary items which don’t
directly involve instruction, yet are most essential in the operation of the
college.

The Alumni Association has helped in some ways in the past, but it is
we can be more helpful than we have been. Helping sponsor
BSC sports events on radio, aiding the CGA in some endeavors, and finanour hope that

which there is no state aid has been an enjoyable experience, but there is still much to be done. The entire campus needs
beautification, including general landscaping and trees, and there is no
money for this type of venture.
If the Alumni Association realizes its $50,000 goal, some of that money
of
could be used for areas which would help the over-all development
Bloomsburg State College. Otherwise, it just would not happen.
BSC graduates used to think that because the college is a state school,
no money was needed for the operation, since the state seemed to supply
endless amounts. Really, this has never been true, and certainly it is not the
case now. During this second semester, the college has been ordered to cut
into its present budget in order to decrease costs in an ever-rising price
cially providing for areas in

market.
Therefore, the financial help that you have given (or will give) will permit some of these dreams to become a reality as BSC continues to move
forward

problems as serious as any the institution has ever

faced.

We

have a record-breaking enrollment, approximately seven percent

higher than last year, with 4,747 full-time and 1,196 part-time students attending classes. Our freshman class includes some 60 students enrolled in the new
program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. We have been
notified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education that Initial Approval
status has been granted for teacher education programs in Early Childhood
education and Communication, and for a graduate teacher education program

Education (Hearing Impaired).
These significant accomplishments are the result of the important work of
our Planning Commission, which included alumni participants, and of the
dedicated efforts of our faculty and staff members in maintaining a high
quality of education and in developing attractive programs attuned to the
changing educational needs of people.
We have a new residence hall under construction, and its completion next
year will help relieve overcrowding in our residence halls. We have had an encouraging response to our plans for a new classroom building, and we hope
also to obtain approval for a badly needed addition to the Andruss Library.
As our building program nears completion, we are able to turn attention to a Campus Beautification project
now underway with the help of funds provided by your Alumni Association. A landscape architect is developing a
plan for the planting of trees, flowers, and shrubs, and for other projects which will make our campus more

Despite our efforts to avoid retrenchment, it was necessary to notify 30 faculty and staff members that their

I must state a problem to which I ask your charitable and sympathetic attention. In
view of my manifold limitations and shortcomings with which I have come to be
only too familiar, how could your screening committee have let its guard down to
let my name slip through to be associated with the many giants and giantesses who
have honored this ceremony by taking their deserved places in it? My only answer is
to accept it with due, and I hope, becoming modesty, and to add a few tributes to
my associates along the way.
To modesty I have some claim as is suggested by this incident. Someone observed to Winston Churchill that his arch political antagonist, Clement Attlee, was
such a "modest man." To which Churchill tartly retorted that he had much to be
modest about. Abraham Lincoln yields another thought that can be a guide for me.
The warning that I refer to is that "It is better to be thought a fool than to open one's
mouth and remove all doubt." From this I draw a corollary, "It might be better to let
the observers have some question as to the suitability of the recipient of this year's
choice than for me to open my mouth and arouse among my listeners acute misgivings, not to say consternation, as to the suitability of my having been chosen."
On the basis of this reasoning it behooves me as a defensive measure to speak very

possible.

Your Alumni Association on the Move!
The Bloomsburg State College Alumni Association recently took a bold, new step in improving its services to the College and its
16,500 members with the employment of a full-time Executive Director. Under the direction of Donald A. Watts, the new Executive Director, plans are underway to improve communications between the College and Association members through more
timely newsletters, special bulletins, and the Alumni Quarterly. A concerted effort will be made to locate all "lost" members and
to modernize the mailing procedures. When this is completed, a new Alumni Directory can be printed. The last Directory was
issued in 1964. A primary objective will be the search for dynamic leadership to organize Bloomsburg State College Alumni
Clubs wherever our graduates reside. Through these leaders and local clubs, many activities to assist the College can be
developed — especially the recruitment of promising students and the development of a good public relations program for
Bloomsburg State College. In addition to funds needed to support the Alumni Office, the Association provides scholarships,
student loans, and financial support to numerous College activities not funded by the State. A "prestigious" college or university
is prestigious only because its alumni (and faculty) made it so. We hope to awaken a new feeling of interest and pride among the
Bloomsburg State College alumni.
If you are interested in having a BSC Alumni Club in your area, we would appreciate a note from you with suggestions on
the area to be served by the Club, places to meet, and names of persons who might assist with the planning and organization of a
club. You may wish to call us at 717-389-3613. Several faculty members and administrators (including President McCormick)

Commencement Address. The Senator said, “The most basic belief to any society is
the belief that people can, through deep personal commitment and sacrifice, master
events and give some sense of shape to their collective destiny. Society must balance
and regulate their levels of conflict and change. We need to educate people to see the
value of opposing tendencies and to enable them to bridge the gaps that opposing
movements can create." In closing the Senator said, "We live in a world of rapid
change and turmoil in which politics plays an important permanent part. If we are to
regain the necessary sense of balance and national well-being, we can only do so
through participation in our democratic processes which require us to use conflict as
a creative force in the lives of our citizens."
