THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY
BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE, BLOOMSBURG,

PA.,

APRIL, 1978

The President's Pen
by Millard Ludwig

Association's image
One of the roadblocks which we
encountered upon taking the office of
president of Bloomsburg State College
Alumni Association was the image in
the minds of many BSC alumni

regarding state colleges.

Some of the comments heard were:
"/ want to give my allegiance and
contributions to the school where I
acquired

my masters degree

There

is

said that school spirit doesn't
to any great degree on
college campuses today, and that
today's student is too complacent to
particpate in this kind of thinking I
really believe that school spirit occurs
in a stronger way after a person has
graduated from college, and after they
have had time to think of what effect
college has had on their lives.
It

is

really

exist

more prestige.
"The state colleges do not need
They get all they need
from the state "
contributions.

"I don't really think that state
colleges need alumni associations.
This image, which began in the days
when state colleges did receive most of
their needs from the state and when
alumni associations on the state
college level were not very strong, is
prevalent today, but we are
still
gaining ground.
The letters and contributions which
BSC Alumni Association members
have sent have demonstrated the great
need for an active association. Many
'

compliments have been received by
our executive director, Donald Watts,
on the improvements in the services
offered by our Association. And we are
continually listening for additional
suggestions which you may have
The needs of the state colleges today
are great, and Bloomsburg is no exception There are so many things
which the state will not cover, including the very important area of
landscaping. Our Association would
like to do more, but funds are limited.
Many of you remember the days
when there were many trees near most
of the buildings. With the great expansion of the 1960s, these trees were
removed, and in most cases have not
been replaced.

the

Community Government Association
returned to campus on Saturday, Feb.
25 for a

meeting with President Mc-

Cormick, the three vice presidents, the
deans, the planning director and the
executive director of the Alumni
Association
President McCormick invited Steve
Andrejack, Charles Bender, Dan
Burkholder, Tom Mulhern and Stan
Toczek to campus for a discussion
involving their perceptions of BSC
after graduation and to receive their
reactions to plans for the future of the
college.

These former student leaders met
with the vice president for academic
deans,
and the planning
affairs,
director in their first session in the
President's Lounge of Kehr Union
Their second session was with the vice
presidents for administration and
student life along with their staffs
They were later dinner guests of Dr.
and Mrs. McCormick at Buckalew
Place

But the state college image is
changing, for the good. We hope that
you will consider what Bloomsburg has
meant to your life. There is a bond here

BSC that is just as strong as any of
the private colleges. All we have to do
is look for it

Dr. James H
McCormick, BSC
president, and Boyd F Buckingham,
vice
president for administration,
represented the college staff and administration.
Dr McCormick stressed the need for
a strong, mobilized Alumni Association
which cares about the college in terms
of requests in such matters of fiscal
support and buildings He reported
that the second semester enrollment
was 4,811 full-time degree students, 598
part-time degree students, and 709
graduate students, full and part-time,
for a total enrollment of 6,118.
He explained that the first semester

graduate degree programs are in the
planning stages - the
A. in art and
the M.S. in Mass Communications.
Dr. McCormick stated that the
college has been authorized a permanent personnel complement of 650

enrollment of approximately 6,400 was
more than had been expected, and that
future admissions must hold the line.
The number of applications for September, 1978, is ahead of last year. He
discussed problems associated with
parking in the town and on campus, a
need for more adequate student
housing off campus, and the need for
additional classrooms and faculty
offices. The latter problems can be
resolved only when the Human Services Center is approved and built. For
that reason, he asked alumni to urge
passage of House Bill 1322, which is the
capital budget for 1977-78
He also
expressed deep concern about the
spiraling cost of tuition and explained
that Pennsylvania students are now
paying more than students in neighboring states, and, in fact, our tuition is

campus beautification plans and
stressed the need for continued student
and alumni support in order to complete this long-range project.
Dr McCormick explained the
Keystone University Bill (SB. 473)
which, when passed, would transfer
the state-owned colleges and Indiana
University of Pennsylvania out of the
Department of Education and provide
for their own board and executive head
and to give the 14 institutions
university status.
The coilege community is currently
engaged in a self-study evaluation in
preparation for the visit of a Middle
Slates evaluation team during the
spring of 1979.

The Property Committee submitted
an inventory of furniture, equipment
and mementos These items were
"lost" when the old Alumni Room in
Waller Hall was razed to make room
for Lycoming Hall. The property is
being collected for use in a proposed
Alumni Room.
The Alumni Day Committee made
several recommendations including a
shorter luncheon meeting, and that the
board of directors be hosts to the
Friday night and Saturday meetings.
Alumni Day is scheduled for Saturday,
April 29, and the 50- Year Class of 1928
and guests will be hosted by the
Association at a banquet on Friday
evening, April 28 in the Scranton

Commons. The Distinguished Service
Award recipients for this year will be
presented at the Alumni Day luncheon.

The board approved a change in the
fiscal year from April 1-March 31 to a
calendar year. The Association also
approved a new state guideline to
permit the executive director to be an
employee of the college and to report to
a designated college administrator
when doing alumni work for the
college.

The Association will grant 10
scholarships They are named in honor

The winter sports campaign at
Bloomsburg during the 1977-78
academic year proved to be another
successful venture with winning
records for all teams but one The
overall record of the six teams involved was 47 wins and 32 losses for a
winning percentage of .684.
The regular winter sports of men's

and women's basketball, men's and
women's swimming, and wrestling
were joined by the new sport of
women's gymnastics under the
direction of Margie Schaeffer.
Schaeffer, a graduate of Towson State
College, joined the staff of Health and

Physical Education in September and
immediately set her sights on attaining
goals for the women of BSC in

while Bright tallied 1,029 points for his
college career. Both were named to
weekly ECAC Division II selections.

Another senior, Jeff Slocum,
established a new record in the final
game of the year when he hit 14
straight free throws in a single game.

Dr McCormick, in his opening address, remarked that the graduates
were fortunate in attending B. S. C.
during a time of significant positive
change when enrollment had increased
and the quality of education was improved through faculty additions. He
impressed upon the graduates the need
to remain loyal alumni and strong
promoters of public higher education.
He closed with, " We are grateful for
the opportunity we have had to share in
your lives for this brief time and we are
proud of you. Best wishes!"

State legislators have told officials of
the state's colleges that "We want
.
and
private developers to build
take the state out of the housing
business," announced Boyd F.
Buckingham, BSC'S vice president for
administration at a recent meeting of
the college's board of trustees.
.

.

Buckingham

said that "tripling," the
practice of housing three students in a
dormitory room designed for two, is
still prevelant at the college due to
crowded conditions He said that a

dormitory is included in requests
which may be made for future budget
considerations, but not this year.
Earlier, President James H. McCormick stated that the need for the

human

services

building

was

"desperate."
'Worst I've seen'
Dr. James V. Mitchell, vice
president for academic affairs, said he
had served about six institutions and
that the crowding of faculty offices

legislature was anticipating a drop at
BSC. He said that of the fourteen state
colleges, BSC ranks 14th in the square
footage per student

Trustee Joseph Nespoli expressed
surprise at this. He said he knew of
developers who would build if there
were a guarantee by the college
developers wanted a 90 percent
guaranteed occupancy rate, but that
not such guarantee could be made by
the college.
It was reported that developers were
encouraged to build housing for
students but that the state legislature
had not come forward with anv inducement for this. There was some
mention of a proposal for developers to
construct dorms on campus which
would be leased and eventually owned
by the college. No answer has been

received from Harrisburgyet.

Parking problems
Another trustee concern was parking
of students in front of homes of town
residents. "I'm not sure we've done all
we can to alleviate complaints," said
Nespoli.

Dr Jerrold Griffis, vice president for
student life, said an inordinate amount
of time had been spent on the problem,
but that there was no known answer.
He said there was parking space
available on campus and that students

Legislation is currently before the
state Senate which would establish a
Keystone State University System
encompassing the 14 state-owned inhigher education in
stitutions of

Pennsylvania.
Senate Bill 473, currently in its
second reading in the Senate, enjoys bipartisan sponsorship and support and

would create a state university system
removed from the Department of
Education and from other departments
and agencies of the Commonwealth.
Policy for the system would be
established by the Board of Governors,
which includes the Secretary of
Education and representation from the
General Assembly, students, trustees,
and the public at large. A chancellor
would be the chief administrative
officer.

sponsored by the Planetary Citizens at
United Nations headquarters in New
York City. It was the awards luncheon
to honor those who have been outstanding in world-wide endeavors for
peace, human understanding and a
better life for all humanity.
The Planetary Citizens group is
working at solving world problems
particularly those of world disarmament. The luncheon was hosted by

Hollanders love big dogs and the

soon learned to watch where we put our
feet. But I liked the venerable 702-yearold city with its tall, skinny canal
houses, leaning and twisting with age,
and its crazy traffic with bicycles
everywhere jockeying for position
Riders offen wear wooden shoes and
long skirts, or have passengers sitting
sidesaddle on the back fender, not
holding on to anything.

polder, the flat land reclaimed from
the Ijsselmer, a vast fresh water lake

keep out the treacherous tides of the

Wow!
One morning we were puzzled by
directions that instructed us to proceed
to a "foot ferry." Our trail led us to the
banks of the wide and deep Ijssel

River. Here, two fat Dutchmen in dark
pantaloons and klompen (wooden
shoes) loaded us and our bikes into two
big boats and rowed us to the opposite
shore Later, we were to cross the
Ijssel River again by a moreconventional motor-powered ferry.
Our trip was like a giant treasure
hunt. We followed directions from one
check-point to another and explored all
the special points of interest described
for us on the guide sheet. Sometimes
we got lost; sometimes we took a turn
down a country lane to watch workmen
thatch a farmhouse roof, or to ride by a
pasture where super-productive cows
were wearing bras — or we would
pause on the dike to watch a big barge
go through a lock or take a rest stop for
a bratwurst and a Heineken — all just a
pedal push away.
Bike routes everywhere
We rode only 30 to 40 miles a day,
which brought us to our village inns
early enough for "happy hour," with
hors d'oeuvres of native specialities
like salty raw herring and smoked eel.
All of Holland's major towns are
connected by bike routes and smaller
towns can be reached on little-traveled
country roads. As we pedalled along, it
was hard to realize that Holland is the
world's most densely populated
country with 1.000 people per square
mile We passed through much open
country, and in addition to beautiful
farmland and meadows with grazing
black and white cattle, and all the
lakes and canals, we rode past miles of
heath bogs and drifts and forests.
So that's what one old alumna has
been up to! Our "holiday on two

The initiation of the master of

several years of research and study
dealing with the advanced educational

members of the Department of

Education and Dr Charles H. Carlson,
dean of the school of graduate studies.
This advanced degree program will

of whom possess advanced training
themselves in the area of early

According

Dr

to

William

S.

O'Bruba, chairman of the department,
the new master's degree program is a
response to a growing need to prepare
teachers to work more effectively with
young children. This need to develop
competent teachers of young children
is

evident nationally as well as

in

the

commonwealth.

WUlard E. Boyer, '59, age 41, was
found beaten to death recently in his
locked New Jersey apartment. The
body was discovered by police after
Boyer was reported missing by coworkers at Camden County Area
Camden, N. J., where he was
an administrator
Although a motive was not officially
established. Barry Lozuke, assistant
county prosecutor, said Boyer's car, a
television, stereo set and several small
antique tables were missing.
Since the apartment door was
locked, Lozuke said Boyer, a bachelor,
may have known his assailant. Police
are continuing the investigation.
Boyer was born in Lycoming County,
Pa and was a graduate of Hughesville
High School and B. S. C. He taught
school in Wyalusing, Pa. from 1959 to

AUGUST 1978

Administration shocked by budget cuts
By Bruce Dietterick
Director of Public Information

Bloomsburg State College officials
announced Thursday, August 3, that
they had been notified by telephone of a
re-allocation of Commonwealth funds,
ordered by the Governor's Budget

Office and that the college's funding
for 1978-79 has been cut by more than a
half-million dollars
Early in July, the college was informed officially by the office of the

Commissioner for Higher Education
that Bloomsburg State College would
receive $13,069,155 of the $181 3 million
appropriated by the legislature for the
13 state-owned colleges and Indiana
University The re-allocation provides
$12,542,864 for Bloomsburg, a reduction
of $526,000

"We
this

are shocked and dismayed by

action."

Boyd F

Vice President

for

Buckingham,

Administration at

Bloomsburg State

College, declared
"Historically, after the legislature has

determined the total amount to be
appropriated for the state-owned
colleges and university, It has been the
sole responsibility of the Pennsylvania
Department of Education to determine
how the funds should be distributed
among the 14 institutions. I know of no
precedent for the action reversing the
department's original decision.

Buckingham

said the only
explanation given for the action was that
the Budget Office refused to accept the

Pennsylvania

Department

because it failed to provide funds to
cover substantial deficits for last year
incurred by at least two of the state-

owned colleges

we

have carefully avoided overspending. Our faculty, staff, and administrators have co-operated completely by doing without needed supand equipment when necessary
it appears that although we have
been fiscally responsible, we are being
penalized. We have to give up badly
needed funds to pay debts we did not
Incur. It's discouraging, to say the

Buckingham noted

and student/faculty ratios. He said
Bloomsburg State College had been
working with Pennsylvania Depart-

ment

"State agencies are not permitted to
incur deficits, as such," Buckingham
explained. "However, it is possible to
defer payment of obligations from one
fiscal year to the next That amounts to
the same thing as deficit spending.
"As tight as money has been at
Bloomsburg for more than five years.

equitable share of state funds through
a distribution formula that would be
based, at least in part, on an inyears

He explained that, "In the past the
funds were distributed according to a
formula that failed

to take into

account

the enrollment changes of the 1970 s, or
the expenses involved in the new
missions assigned to the institutions
since 1973. Consequently, Bloomsburg
was not receiving a fair share. Last
year, for example, our enrollment was
third highest of the 14 institutions, yet.

The
distribution announced in July made a
substantial correction of that inequity;

were five years ago "
larger

The inequity of the present
distribution of state funds is best
illustrated by comparing the support

Unless the State changes its present
allocations, students at Bloomsburg
will be denied services and materials

Area native recalls BSTC's early days
By Joan Norquest '77
Alumni Association Office
Ella Barnes Derr walked five miles
every morning to attend classes at the
Model School, the teacher-training
school of Bloomsburg State Normal
School

The reason she attended the Model
School was not for Its fine reputation,
nor could her parents necessarily
afford the cost of tuition ($10.50 a full
year), but Ella and her sisters and
brothers could not be admitted to
Bloomsburg public school because her
family lived in East Bloomsburg in a
township — Catawissa
Township The Catawissa public school
was an inconvenience since it was
different

located even farther from their home
Fortunately, an arrangement was
made providing that some of their tax
dollars would be spent to pay their
tuition

Before the days of Bloomsburg's own
dramatics productions, visiting
players performed at Bloomsburg
State Normal School, and students
were often chosen for small parts. Ella
remembers the status and excitement
in being chosen. She and her sister
were "in the height of our glory" as
fairies for "A Mid Summer's Night
Dream " It was "my first contact with
show business" as a child, and the
"grease paint smelled so good.
The Gymnastics Exhibition, held

While a teacher played a grand march
on the piano, students marched in,

had entered the small gymnasium

wonderful memories for Ella, who
regrets never being able to finish her
education there Her school days ended
abruptly in 1915 when Ella had to leave
to find a job because her father had

become very

ill. Later, she was able to
attend beauty school, and for 23 years
she operated a beauty shop
Presently a widow at 79, she remains
active in the community of Bloomsburg, and until recently she rented
rooms to college students. When she
first began to rent rooms, landlords
had to be approved by the college, and
the rooms and facilities were regularly
inspected by college officials. At one
time, Ella explains, her name was at
the top of the list for providing excellent housing She notes that in later
years the college did not remain as
strict and selective about the type of
housing students received. Currently,

"My real hobby is oil painting. Since
I retired I've given away more than

Another major interest the Rev
Krapf has pursued for relaxation is
carpentry, and his neat one story home
is all hand-crafted and of independent
design.
"I suppose I might have had a better
design if I'd known what I wanted to
start with," he said But the house has
grown and developed as it was needed,
sometimes with a boost from guests

who made suggestions.
It began as a summer home, just a

Over the years, Vera's become the

Mrs. Krapf has been active as a
