New allocation formula

An increase in Bloomsburg State
College's financial payments for
municipal services it receives from
Bloomsburg, and progress in the
college's effort to obtain a more
equitable allotment of Commonwealth
funds were reported to the BSC board
of trustees at the quarterly meeting
held December 14.
The trustees were advised by Boyd
F Buckingham, vice president for
administration, that the Municipal
Authority for the Town had notified the
college that the annual per capita
rental charge for sewage treatment
paid by the college has been increased
from $6.50 per capita to $10.60.

he said. "We received about $200,000

more than we would have been allotted
under the old formula. We cannot
expect the gap to be wiped out in one
year, but we are gaining."
Dr. McCormick reported also that he
had just been advised the college has
been allotted four new positions, and
that they will likely be assigned to fill
needs in new and expanding missions
He called attention also to the importance of getting support for a
capital budget bill in the new session of
the Legislature, and of the need to have
the financing for the human services

15,000 miles have passed beneath my

After 6.000 miles of excursions in and

San Fidel is a diminutive, ancient
town of about 150, nestled at the foot of
11,000-foot high Mount Taylor. One post
office, a general store and a church are
all we have, aside from the 20 or 25-odd
residences of the townspeople.

A short half-mile ride down a
primitive, rutted dirt road will take
you to my place of employment, the St
Joseph School and Mission, more or
less the focal point of the entire
metropolitan San Fidel area.
Numerous other dirt roads (yes,
Virginia, dirt roads still exist) serve as
the major traffic arteries for most of
the settlements such as San Fidel.
Usually, only the very well-travelled
in New Mexico are paved.

The St. Joseph School and Mission is
a permanent fixture of the area, since
it has existed for quite some time. The

While the offense carried off some
honors in the Eastern Division of the
Pennsylvania State College conference, specifically in the passing
department, it was the defense,
unheralded most the year, which
deserves some attention.
It was a pleasure to participate in the
press coverage of the games, to see
freshman Mike Canzler of Waverly,
N Y win the passing honors in the
eastern conference; to view the antics
of the diving Tom Brennan. who led the
division in pass receiving.
But looking beyond the statistics of
that nature, again, it was the defense
which set the tone for a most interesting year. The very first game
was an example when Shippensburg
ran the kick-off back for a touchdown
on the first play. The defense could
have given up, and the result could
have been another dismal defeat. But
they held western division champs-tobe Shippensburg at bay until the offense could unwind, and at the end of
the game the homestanding Raiders
had some anxious moments.
At East Stroudsburg, in the final
game, the Warriors scored two touchdowns in the first period, and people in
the press box began talking about a
"laugher." It wasn't to be that way, for
until the last period there was only one
,

Time after time during the season,
headline runners would face the
Huskies only to hear the final whistle
sound with a less-than-average game.
It would be difficult to point out the
stars of this defensive unit which
fought so hard during the season.
We're not trying to take any of the
headlines away from the offense and
passing attack. The records of Canzler
and Brennan speak for themselves,
and they'll be back next year along
with the many other fine offensive
players. But the boys in the trenches
(including the linebackers) and the
defensive backs certainly deserve a lot
of credit. And some of it must go to the
coaches who worked so hard to prepare
the boys for the season.
Right now I can hardly wait until
next season!

Mamie

Hlgglns

Thomas

was born

'16

in Plymouth, Pa., and grew up
there.
She attended the public school and
graduated in 1914, a member of the
first class to wear caps and gowns.
She
entered Bloomsburg Normal School
and graduated with a two-year
diploma in 1916, which would be made
permanent after two years of teaching.
Mamie's aim was to be a well-trained,
dedicated teacher. Her motto was
"This one thing I do."
Her first teaching assignment was a
fourth grade class in Bound Brook,
N.J. She stayed only one year, since
she was eager to teach in Pennsylvania
and have her diploma made permanent. Her next teaching contract
came from Wapwallopen, Pa. — a
farming district, where schools opened
early in the fall and closed early in

spring, thus allowing children time to
help parents in planting and harvesting
seasons.

When

schools were about to open in
Plymouth, Mamie received an offer to
teach there. She wanted to teach in her
hometown, so she figured out a way to
do it She took an unemployed teacher
with her on the day she met with
members of the Wapwallopen School

Board These country farmers had
heard good reports of Mamie and were
especially pleased that she had had no
discipline problems, so they were
reluctant to release her from her
contract.

However, they finally agreed to let
her go and to hire the friend she had
brought as a replacement. Thus,

The Alumni Quorterly

Grappler season 'successful, rewarding'
By

ROGER SANDERS

Wrestling Coach
This article is being written just
prior to our departure to the University

Oklahoma for the NCAA, Division
Tournament (March 15-20) The fact
that six Husky wrestlers qualified
of

I

through the Eastern Wrestling League
(EWL) Tournament on March 5 and 6
demonstrates that this has truly been a
successful and rewarding season for
all

those involved with the wrestling

program

at BSC.
Both the dual meet season (11-4) and
the tournaments have gone very well
for the team, with the lone exception
being the Pa. State College Conference
Tournament (6th place finish). Three
of the four dual meet defeats were at
the hands (legs) of EWL opponents —
Pitt. Buffalo, and Clarion. To a great
extent, those losses were put to rest
with our fantastic second place finish
to Penn State in the EWL Tournament.
Sixteen different boys wore the
maroon and gold uniform in varsity
action this season. A freshman, Joe
Dougherty, compiled an 8-5 dual meet
record and a 12-9 overall record at 118
Joe was plagued by injuries throughout
most of the season but still managed a
winning record, placing in both postseason tournaments.

the team and still managed a 10-4-1

second place finish guaranteed him a

Rex Lutz, another freshman,

following the loss of Terry Donahue, a

the sidelines and contributed to Bart

di -^ping to 142 from the next higher
weight class. While Rex's record was
poor (1-7 and 4-10), steady improvement was noted, and he now has
his sights set at dropping to 134 for next
season.
Bart (Bucky) McCollum was the
super star of the freshmen grapplers,
posting a dual meet record of 11-3 and
overall record of 29-8. A separated
shoulder during the semi-final round of
the state tournament would have ended
the season for most wrestlers. Not so

weeks later and, incredibly, took

construction cost as $75,000. He quoted
from an advertisement which called
attention to free tuition, and to the fact
that the community was served by 33
passenger trains daily.
Dr. Andruss referred to the growth of
the College and pointed out that a
college "receives dividends only in the
achievements and accomplishment of

alumni."
President McCormick spoke about
specific areas of growth and change.
He said there are now more than 20,000
alumni, 6,000 students, a faculty and
staff numbering 645, more than 80
its

academic programs,

and buildings
with a replacement value exceeding
S60 million.
"You have been a part of this
growth," he said. "Bloomsburg State
College continues to do well in
placement of its graduates and in attracting new students because of your
help, and because of the reputations
that you, as alumni, have built during
your careers. You play an important
role, and if the College is to be strong, it
must have strong alumni support.
He said Bloomsburg has the greatest

number

of alumni contributors,

Bloomsburg's distinguished Alumni."
Hinkel responded by saying, "In
accepting this honor, I am very humble
when I consider those who have
received the award in the past:
Francis B. Haas, William B. Sutliff,
E.H. Nelson, Kimber Kuster, Harvey
A. Andruss, Howard Fenstemaker and
Marguerite Kehr. I name these
recipients because they were members
of the administration and the faculty

when I was a student.
"I consider myself to be the most
fortunate graduate of the College
because President Emeritus Andruss
was one of my teachers and because he
invited me to return to teach in

January,

1947.

of my students are teachers
or administrators in high schools and
colleges throughout the country;
others are employed in business and
government positions; and some are
members of the clergy. I am proud of
all of them.
"I am especially proud of the 12
students who are now members of the
administrative or teaching staff of our
College, and those students who are
directors of our Alumni Association. I
am proud to be a graduate of Bloomsburg and I am proud to be a member
of the Bloomsburg faculty.

her favorite extracurricular activity is teaching religion
to eighth graders in her parish in New
York one night each week. She adds,
"I'd like to do some more traveling
when I get the time I love to travel and
I'll go anywhere. I've seen Eastern and
Western Europe, parts of Canada,
Mexico, the Carribean and most of the
United States from Maine to Hawaii.
I'd like to visit China and, of course,

return to Poland."
In a recent note from Jacquie. she
added, "Just an update on my everchanging lifestyle I recently received
a 'promotion' and am now a member of
our company's syndicate department
and responsible for selling new corporate offerings. At present, my
responsibilities are basically
administrative, but eventually I will
become a bond trader.
"When this happens. I will be the
first and only woman trader in the
firm, and I'm already the only woman
in the bond room. I'd still rather be
home in Pennsylvania, but my work

here is different and exciting — very
good experience. Also, my professional
possibilities are becoming more and
more appealing."

much money, if any, they should contribute to the Association.
In addition to making it possible for the Association to meet its
goals, your membership will mean much more in 1977 as the result of a
new policy statement on use of college facilities by Alumni.
Prepared

education should be a continuing process and that graduates should be
included in as many college activities as possible.

to continue this tradition.

Recently, an article in a prominent educational journal described
the 70s as an "era of change" and an "age of complexity." Certainly
predictable
both phrases are descriptive of the immediate past and
future of public higher education. It is a time for institutions to be
proactive rather than reactive, to prepare for change with stability, to
respect tradition and yet be future-oriented, and to champion the
enduring values of a liberal education while meeting the needs of our

changing constituencies.

As this message is being prepared, we are in the midst of yet another
budget debate. As part of the Commonwealth system of
higher education, we must do everything possible to cope with indifficult

creased costs, but, while we cannot afford the present rate of inflation,
we can less afford to succumb to the threats to public higher education
brought on by inadequate funding. We are painfully aware of the
burdens on the wage earner and the loss of confidence in the governmental and political process, but we are sure that the strengthening of
the
institutions such as Bloomsburg State College will contribute to
solution of these problems.

We are most anxious to welcome you back to campus for our 50th
Annual Homecoming on October 8. Your executive director, Mr

approximately $450 million in fiscal

Friday

evening, November 4 The department
has requested a meeting room at the
Essex Inn which is across the street
from the convention headquarters
hotel, the Chicago Hilton. It is expected
that a large number of current
students in the programs of the
department, including the Image
Group, will be attending under the
sponsorship of the Student Speech and

In addition to the reception and
greeting for the College's alumni in the
fields of speech-language pathology,
audiology and education of the hearing
impaired, participants will be invited

an alumni symposium which will
preceed the social events.
The purpose of the symposium will
be to report to alumni on the state of
the College and the preparation
programs of the department of communication disorders and to involve
alumni in assessment and planning for
to

the future.

According

to Dr.

James D Bryden,

chairperson of the department, alumni
will be asked to evaluate the department's programs and to suggest
changes based on the needs which they
perceive

Former BSC students who have
recently received medical degrees
returned to campus as advisors to their
former professors.

The purpose of the discussions was to
explore ways of improving BSC'S preprofessional studies program. The new
doctors emphasized a continuing need
to alert students to the non-academic
problems they will face in medical
schools, and to prepare them for the
changes that occur so rapidly in the
medical profession.
Robert Pratt of Selinsgrove and
Frank C. Yartz of Honesdale received
their medical degrees early in June
Dr. Pratt, who began his residency at
the Harrisburg Polyclinic Hospital in
July, did graduate work in biology at
BSC before entering the Bowman Gray
School of Medicine, Wake Forest
University.
Dr. Yartz received his bachelor's
degree from BSC and also did graduate
work in biology before entering the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic
Medicine. He has begun his residency
at Geisinger Medical Center.
Joining them in the discussions with
faculty members from the biology and
chemistry departments were Dr.
David Campbell, president of the
Columbia County Medical Association,
and a former BSC student.
Dr. Pratt and Dr. Yartz are among
seven former BSC students who
received medical degrees this year.

Individual involvement in the arts
By Dr. PERCIVAL R. ROBERTS HI
Art Department Chairman
The visual arts continue to flourish at
Bloomsburg State College due to a
highly motivated and talented student
body, an informed and dedicated art
faculty,
and a supportive administration. The arts in America are
gradually emerging from decades of
"benign" neglect and are occupying a
more central position in the lives of her
people.
It is becoming more and more widely
recognized that the development of
one's fullest human potential can only
occur through the pursuit of the
pleasures and enlightenment afforded
by the arts and that this component of
one's learning can exist compatibly
with one's drive for economic security.

interview.
Her reply: "I hardly want to drive
seven hours for an interview unless I
am being seriously considered for the
position." The reply: "Come down;
we'll hire you."
She was hired the day before school
opened and partly because of her
strong college interest in debating. Her
success as debate coach in her first
year of teaching is the envy of all
seasoned coaches. Her team captured
the Virginia High School League
Championship at the University of
Virginia on April 29-30. Both her affirmative and negative teams had
earlier won first place in both divisions
at Central
District
and Central
Regional Tournaments to qualify for
the state finals.
This was the third year for Manchester High School debate team to
capture the state championship, but
the team receives no financial support
from the school district. All costs must
be covered by the students, their
parents, and the advisor. During
Cyndi s first year as debate coach, her
teams received more than 25 trophies

When

administrators of the
Bloomsburg Normal School changed
its title to Bloomsburg State Teachers
College, they couldn't possibly have
imagined the other changes which the
name would initiate. A new college
president appeared on the scene at just
about the same time
1927.
Dr Francis Haas, the new administrator, decided that since
the

a

popular college traditions should be
introduced to the school. Homecoming,
which was held for the first time in
1927, was one of these traditions The

was the other.
Due to disagreements as to what the
Bloomsburg mascot should be, it took
somewhat longer for this idea to be

almost unanimously selected to
represent Bloomsburg. Keller
designed a figure of a husky to be used
on the sweaters of the college, and the
husky has remained with the college

husky

and the
beautiful black and white animal made
its first appearance at a pep meeting.
He was all "togged up" in a maroon
blanket with a gold "B" and the word
"Huskies."

instructor at the

college, suggested the husky, stating

the animal was "the most stubborn
fighter" of the canine family. Keller
promised he would supply the animal if
the husky were chosen as the Maroon

and Gold mascot.

The student body assembled in
Carver Hall on October 9, 1933, to vote
on Keller's proposal. The husky was

much

for him. A veterinarian said the
rapid lowering and raising of temperature brought on the disease which
caused the mascot's death

To carry on the tradition, Roongo II
appeared on the scene. A Labrador
husky, Roongo II succeeded his
distinguished predecessor in boosting
the school's morale until he was
selected to make the trip to the South
Pole with Admiral Byrd.

After his departure, the Maroon and
Gold were without a live mascot for
several years, until 1950, when Roongo
III was presented to the college by the
Alumni Association.

The Huskies always offered a
challenge to individuals and teammates to cooperate and work for the
common good as he and his brothers
have so finely demonstrated.
As described in the December, 1947,
Alumni Quarterly, there are some who
would remember Roongo this way:
"The animal was big and needed
exercise The football field was a sea of
mud. The cheerleader, probably not
well versed in the power of canines,
was anxious to show off the mascot.
"He elected the time between halves
when he and the dog could be the
center of attention. Starting under one
goal post, the yell-inspirer made the
mistake of deciding to run. The husky
took over at that point. He lit out at top
speed and took the cheerleader along
with him. It was a picture of arms,
legs, and flying gumshoes that those

who saw will never forget."

Willders may both crack the starting
lineup while senior Bill Lanlz and
transfer Gary Colbitz both add needed
strength to the team.
"This is the deepest team BSC has
ever had, with all ten players capable
of being in the top six," Reese said.
The rest of the spring schedule
should be exciting. The Huskies start
off with a southern trip which includes
such perennial powers as Navy, Rich-

mond, William and Mary, and Hampton Institute Once back up north, the
team will engage Penn State, Swarthmore. Temple, East Stroudsburg,
and Lehigh, all highly competitive
teams.
Interested BSC graduates are urged
to drop in and see the match in Hershey
on March 19

wiches," said Daly, who received a
multi-year contract with the Sixers.
In his six years at Penn, Daly earned
a reputation as one of the school's most
successful coaches. His winning
percentage of .744 (125-38) is the best
ever for a Penn basketball coach.
Besides his four Ivy League titles,
his teams finished as league runner-up
the last two years. His teams won three
Big Five championships and were tied
for the title last season. Overall, Daly's
teams have compiled a 151-62 record,
ranking him 17th among all college
coaches in the nation.
In 1971, his first year at Penn, Daly's

team won 25 of
number one in

28
the

games

to

finish

East and third
nationally. Daly was named Eastern

Coach of the Year.
Daly. 46, began his coaching career
Punxsutawney High School in 1955
(after graduating from BSC). He was
an assistant at Duke for six years
before replacing Bob Cousy at Boston

at

College in 1969. In two years at Boston,
his teams recorded a 26-24 record.

traded him to the Minnesota Vikings

The trade, coming on the trading
deadline day, reunited the veteran
receiver with Minnesota quarterback
Fran Tarkenton. In 1971, when both
players were with the Giants, Tucker
led the NFL with 59 pass receptions
the first tight end in history to win that



title.

Tucker was a standout performer
during his years at Bloomsburg.
On October 9, Tucker criticized the
Giants as a club that was going
nowhere. He didn't play in the club's
next two games, victories over San
Francisco and Washington, which
raised New York's record to 3-3
Tucker's 1977 statistics were six
receptions for 91 yards Before this
season, his seven-year totals were 321
receptions for 4,285 yards and 22 touchdowns. He holds the club record for
most consecutive games (45) with at
