Requests for official transcripts must be made in
writing to the registrar. The fee of $2.00 each, payable to
Bloomsburg University, must accompany each request.
The registrar's office regrets that it cannot bill alumni for
transcripts, as the cost would be prohibitive.

Each transcript request must carry the signature of the
student or alumnus, which authorizes the registrar to
release the transcript. This requirement is necessary to
comply with the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law and
the Buckley Amendment to the Federal Omnibus
Education

Bill.

Transcripts are usually sent out within three to five

working days after a request is received, except at the
beginning and end of semesters, when processing may
take as long as two weeks.

A lot of things have changed since Mullhall attended

An honors program has been created

the College

students a chance for Independent study.
The program, an idea of Dr. AI Forsyth, dean of the
College of the Arts and Sciences, involves two semesters
of independent study totaling six credits and one semester
of participation in a Honors Seminar for three credits.
i)r Howard Schreier, communication studies professor
and co-organizer of the program, said it will provide a
structure in which students can work independently,
creatively and responsibly.
The program has three divisions — humanities, natural
sciences and social sciences — and will include seven to
nine hours of advanced work. Students must maintain a

"I came here because my family was here. BU had to

Editor's Note: Through correspondence with
cooperating alumni, we have compiled information on
Alumni Living Abroad. Letters were mailed to alumni In
many different countries, and in our first attempt at this
type of story, we have heard from eight of them. The
alumni explained some of the differences of living in a
foreign country and what they are doing in that country.
Some offered information on how Bloomsburg University
has helped them achieve. The following article features
four "Alumni Living Abroad."
As is probably the case for many of our Alumni Living
Abroad, Richard Ward '73 has found that "to enjoy
overseas life takes a strong sense of individualism,
independence, self-reliance and adaptability." For a farm
boy from Columbia County, traveling has provided the
chance to experience how different the people of the
world are. It began for Ward when he came to BU.
"Attending BU broadened my horizons
significantly, "Ward wrote. It was the first time he came
in contact with people who had grown up in suburban and
urban areas, and he wrote, "I can remember walking on
the grass along sidewalks becasuse I wasn't accustomed
to the hard surfaces, and the concrete made my feet

hurt."
Since Bloomsburg, it seems, Ward has adapted. He has
lived and worked in Australia, Israel, Venezeula and
Columbia. He currently lives in Papua, New
Guinea.where he works for the Department of Minerals

is moving every two or three years.
"The adjustment process becomes a constant
companion," he wrote.
Ward's experience with the "adjustment process"
began during his years at BU. He spent two summer
vacations at the Marine Science Consortium in Lewes,
Del., and Wallops Island, Va. He met even more diversity
with the students there, and those two summers, Ward
said, really whet his appetite to experience "the wonders
of the strange and remote corners of the world."
After college, Ward ran an oil exploration crew in
Arkansas and Louisiana, and he later taught science and
mathematics in a public high school in the state of

Queensland, Australia.
Traveling extensively throughout the Pacific while
living in Australia, Ward began paying particular
attention to the role of mineral resources in the economy
of every country he visited. His traveling included visits
to Papua, New Guinea, in 1976 and 1977.

economics and a job teaching earth and physical science
at a private international school in Caracas, Ward began
concentrating on New Guinea. After completing his

Minerals and Energy.
Ward's job carries significant amounts of responsibility
and opportunities for professional growth. To enhance
those opportunities, he is returning to the states this year

Edwards
from

BU

After nearly a quarter of a century and millions of
copies of printed materials, Nellie Edwards has decided
to retire as head of the BU duplicating services
The Catawissa native recently announced her decision
to leave behind her job, which is filled with pressure
deadlines, tons of uncut paper and gallons and gallons of
ink and press-cleaning fluids.
When Edwards first worked in duplicating, the
department didn't have a heavy printing load. "We did all
the outgoing mail, some memos and news releases," she
says. "Our office was in Noetling Hall where part of the
Scranton Commons is now located."
In 1969, when duplicating services moved to old Waller
Hall (site of Lycoming Hall) and was expanded, she was
named the department supervisor. Three years later, the
final move was made to the Waller Administration
Building
"Our daily work has increased about 75 percent in the
past 10 years," Edwards says "We print material for
every department on campus, including tests,
newsletters, brochures, etc. A variety of other printing is
done for student organizations and various administrative
offices.

"One of our biggest jobs was the Five Year Action
Plan," she says. "It was so thick that we couldn't even
bind it here."
Approximately 125,000 sheets are printed per week by
Edwards, her two full-time staff workers, a Green Thumb
worker and a student assistant. "I don't think people
realize the volume of work that is printed here," she
remarked.
Looking forward to retirement, Edwards says she will
catch up on some reading, gardening and shopping. She
and her husband, Garth, "hope to do some traveling,
mostly around the United States. I really would like to go
to California," she added.
"I'll miss working at the university, particularly the
people. Each day has been different and by encountering
so many different people, I've learned a great deal about
diplomacy."
However, Edwards feels it is time to move on. "1 guess
I'm getting tired of standing most of the day. Now I'll
have to learn how to sit down again," she commented.
"I never dreamed I would be here this long or learn
how to run all this equipment." she laughs. "I can
remember when I used to be afraid to run my washing
machine!
"But, I guess I wouldn't have stayed so long if I didn't
enjoy it."

of learning the alphabet dates

back to when I was In first grade and my teacher, Miss
Kramer, had the class write out the 26-letter sequence as
many times as we could In a is-mlnute time period.
Therefore, I was not surprised when 1 found myself
more than a little apprehensive about what I was
attempting to learn. Back In first grade, I could always
copy from my neighbor If I had to. But on a sunny

afternoon last week In the borough of Conshohocken,
there was one student, one teacher and one subject • sign
language.
On the telephone the day before, Donna Peronl said she
could teach me the sign language alphabet In 20 minutes.
I had my doubts.
Since 1980, Peronl has been teaching sign language at
the Ablngton Township Adult School. She teaches a
similar course In Whltemarsh Township and, until the
school closed Its doors In June, she taught high school
English at Pennsylvania School for the Deaf.

deaf people. She said she has taught nurses, lawyers,
doctors, clergymen and teachers.
"Some people who take the course don't know a deaf

person, never even met a deaf person, but were curious
about how the deaf communicate," she said.
The first rule of sign language I learned was to keep
my palm facing the person with whom I was conversing
letters with relative ease, but
I handled the first three
when I tried to make a "D," I would continually raise my
pinkie Instead of my index finger. Once I corrected
myself, I realized how silly the mistake was. Done
correctly, the sign resembles the letter, especially from
the vantage point of the person giving the symbol.
Not all of the signs look like the letter they represent,
but enough do to make learning the alphabet not as

formidable a task as I thought it would be.
"Sign language Is like a foreign language," said Peronl.
"I would like to see sign language offered as a foreign
language In high schools."
Three forms of non-verbal communication are used by
the deaf community: American sign language is a natural
language which expresses feelings untranslatable into
English; the Rochester method or finger spelling; and
sign language.
Peronl said she strongly advocates sign language over
lip reading, favored by orallsts, because In lip reading
"the person understands some of what you are saying,
but not

all

of It."

"If you have ever been In a foreign country
don't understand the language, you know just

a joy

is

and you

how

frustrating

(communicating

for deaf people)

can be," she

said.

When I made my first "Q." I was concerned about the
exact placement of my thumb and middle finger. Peroni
told me not to worry.
"One of the first things I teach my students is not to be
too concerned with the exact placement of their fingers,"
she said. "Just like everybody has different sounding
voices, everybody is going to have slightly different
signs."
Exposure and repetition were the keys to Peronl's
teaching method. She showed me a series of letter
symbols, I tried my best to copy her. Then we would start
over, going deeper into the alphabet each time. She broke

taught me.
When she asked if I wanted to try it myself, I thought I
would be lucky to get half the letters right. But after only
about 10 minutes, I was able to sign all the letters except
for five or six.
When Peronl first enrolled at Bloomsburg State College,
now Bloomsburg University, some 10 years ago, she had
no intention of becoming a teacher of the deaf or a sign

language instructor. Her curriculum was geared for a
degree in science. However, Bloomsburg's program
demonstrating sign language changed that plan

said.

Eventually, Peroni received a master's degree in
teaching from Bloomsburg and began teaching at the
School for the Deaf.

"One of the things that drives me nuts is when people
refer to the deaf as 'deaf and dumb,"' she said. "They
are not dumb, they are deaf. Hearing that makes my
blood run cold."
Peroni said she thought deafness was a handicap that
often overlooked because it is not as visible as other

is

disabilities.

"People don't realize how many people are hearing
impaired," she said. "Most people think blindness is a
more severe handicap than deafness, but most of the
time, a deaf person has a harder time of it.
"If I were blind, we wouldn't have any problem with
this interview, but if I were deaf and we had to write
everything out
it would take a long time."
As I watched my teacher repeat the few letters I was
having difficulty remembering, I was amazed at how
quickly and naturally she could sign. "It's like when you
write," she said. "You make the letters without thinking
about it."

In teaching sign language, Peroni said, she always
teaches for alphabet first. Although it would be
impractical to attempt to communicate with a deaf
person by spelling every word, she said learning the
alphabet is important because many of the words are
extensions of the symbols for the letters. Spelling in sign
language, she said, is limited to names and words that
have no signs.
"There is no telling where the skill can take you," she
said. "But at the very least, you can use your knowledge
to sign a simple greeting."

BIyler used alumni money to spend

She is now involved with a "comprehensive and

BIyler is confident that Dalhousie will be supportive in

While Blyler's research has led her to a more
comprehensive project, two other Alumni-funded
researchers used their projects to attain a better
understanding of their future professions.

Steven Miller, a senior psychology major, studied the
effects of intracranial injections of cholecystokinin
octapeptide (CCK 8) and amphetamine on the behavior of

Although Miller did not prove what he had planned
he said that in terms of learning procedures, reading
related literature and studying results, the project was
"very worthwhile."
Miller was advised by Dr. Steven Cohen, BU professor
of psychology who has worked with CCK 8 for several
years. Miller used various techniques that Cohen has
developed in examining the effects of CCK 8 on rats.
CCK is a peptide found in the human stomach, and it
controls the emptying of the gall bladder. It has been
localized in parts of the brain, and, through its connection
with the central nervous system, is thought to cause
response suppression. Miller's project was designed to
prove this, but his results were "inconclusive."
One of the most important reasons for studying CCK is
its relationship with several mental disorders. Both the
mind and the nervous system are affected by
neuropsychiatry diseases, such as Parkinson's disease
and schizophrenia, Miller reported.
Miller also stressed the importance of CCK's
relationship with satiety, the feeling of being fed to or
beyond gratification.
Miller worked the full fall semester on the project and
has written a 20-page research background on CCK
rats.

Aside from knowing their bidders, auctioneers also

had missed 55 days of school. Yet, as he put it,
he "was as healthy as a horse."
By the middle of Jesse Bryan's senior year, he had
been captain of the football and basketball teams,
president of the choir and dramatics club, and an
assistant in his physics and history classes.

Parrish was 27 when he received his bachelor's degree
in commerce His first position in higher education was at
Florida Atlantic University — where he eventually earned
master's and doctoral degrees — as comptroller and
budget officer.

and joined the

doctoral degrees and administrative
positions at Bloomsburg University. Parrish is vice
president for administration and treasurer of the
university, while Bryan is director of the Center for

Academic Development.
As a youngster, despite his involvement in school
activities, Bryan found his classes boring. "I thought high
school was beneath me. I had many other things to do,
and I didn't want to waste a whole lot of time doing the
menial things other people were doing. High school
wasn't useful or challenging for me."
Consequently, in 1956, Bryan left his home in
Lumberton, N.C., to become one of the Navy's first black
fire control technicians. Traditionally, blacks were
appointed to positions as cooks and stewards in the Navy.
However, because Bryan, although he was a school

made the highest score on the Navy's
achievement exam, he was named education petty

dropout,

"When they called my name, everybody looked at me
as though either I had made a mistake by standing up, or
the Navy had made a mistake on the scores. It was kind
of funny," Bryan said.
Parrish was also bored with
high school. "I was not
interested in what we consider!

like algebra and geometry. I
was sort of a punk and had a
gang."
Two members of that gang,

Sonny and Charlie, persuaded
him to join the Navy. At that
time, the farthest Parrish had
been from his home in
the 60
miles it took to get to the
botanical gardens in
Pittsburgh. The lure of

recalls,

Bryan also had a mentor who encouraged him to
continue his education. Dr. Winston Coleman, dean of
Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C. was the
father of one of Bryan's friends. He followed Bryan into a
pool hall one day, suggested he do something better with
his time, and convinced Bryan to attend college.
Similar to Parrish's situation, Bryan's high school
would not give him a diploma, even though he had
completed studies with the United States Armed Forces
Institute. Bryan entered college on a probationary basis
Philosophy was the only course Bryan found
challenging, and he recalls his frustration at only
managing to earn a grade of B Other students whose
work was not particularly outstanding earned A's, said
Bryan.

Parrish got his opportunity to see the world by cruising
for three years on the aircraft carrier Wasp. "I had a
good time," said Parrish. "Every time we went out to
sea, it was a thrill when the wind would come across the
deck."
After completing his years of military service, Parrish
returned to Bellaire and went to work with the treasurer
of Interstate Truck Service. While walking down the
street one day, he ran into a former high school
chemistry teacher who was then the dean of a branch

campus of Ohio University.

The incredible edible egg has many uses. It helps make
quiche, omelets, sandwiches, salads, souffles and brilliant
colorful paintings. That's right, paintings!
BU art professor Kenneth Wilson is one of few artists in
the country using egg yolks and sometimes egg whites as
base for his paints.

pigments, mixed with distilled water, to painting

of Christ.

"Until the latter part of the 15th century, egg tempera
the major painting medium due to its permanence
and jewel-like colors," Wilson said.
"Afterwards, when painters changed from gesso
(masonite panels with layers of mixed rabbit-skin glue
and fine lime powder called whiting) to canvas, the new
surface was not firm enough to support egg tempera.
Consequently, use and teaching of this medium all but
died out," the artist said.
A few years ago, after reading about Middle Ages art,
Wilson decided he would join in egg tempera
contributions with a few other national artists
including Pennsylvanian Andrew Wyeth, who is well
known for his paintings filled with people, and Yar
Chomicky, who uses egg tempera to create lyrical
landscapes.
Wilson has found that only a few artists are using this
method because "there is very little written about it, and
it's a time-consuming process."
The art professor has taken steps to correct this slight
to egg tempera. While on sabbatical in 1982, Wilson
visited museums across the United States and in Italy,
viewing and studying noted art tempera exhibits. He then
compiled his findings into "An Artist's Notebook," and is
now making BU one of the few universities with
specialized study in egg tempera art.
Expense can deter students from studying egg tempera,
however. A two-ounce jar of cadmium red powder costs
twice as much as other colors used in non-egg tempera
paints. Wilson says, though, that "this product (egg

The dean became "The Old Oak on South Walk," looking
down on the young students and saying softly, ".

toward master's degrees in art. Sharon Cressinger of
Selinsgrove and Lynn Monserat of Bloomsburg "grew
fast as watercolor painters and are now working to
master egg tempera," Wilson said.
As Wilson said about teaching in general, the better he
is at painting and drawing, the better his students will
become. He hopes that process holds true with egg
tempera.

"Perhaps one day, when people speak generally of the
egg, they'll think of vibrant colors springing from gessos,
not breakfast," Wilson said.

The Class of 1937 expressed students' esteem for Sutliff

Secretary Terrell H. Bell.
Larry Jones, interim president at BU, said the report,
entitled, "Involvement in Learning: Realizing the
Potential of American Higher Education" will be a
"major topic for discussion at BU for the next few

months."

The report has serious implications for all
Pennsylvania colleges. Although the state has 119
colleges, only 42 percent of the state's high school
graduates go to college, ranking the state 45th in the

The BU International Relations Club sponsored an
International day at Millville High School in the fall.
Students from approximately 15 foreign countries
displayed favorite food dishes, cultural Items such as

"It all goes back to getting treated the way you want to
be treated, and 1 often think of myself as being placed
behind those bars, wondering how I'd feel."

"

Trained as an educator-counselor in the social sciences.
Yachimowski never envisioned himself as a prison
warden.
A 1973 graduate of Bloomsburg State College who later
acquired his master's degree, Yachimowski spent one
year In the classroom as a student teacher.
But an interest in law enforcement attracted him
instead to a job in the county sheriff's office, where he
spent five years before leaving as chief deputy under
Sheriff Vic Vandling to take over as warden in May 1980.
Former Warden George Kelser had just resigned,
shortly after a new county administration took office, to
take a job in Delaware.
"I took It on as a challenge, and it's definitely been
that," Yachimowski says. "But 1 have a good man in
(Deputy Warden) Tom (Bauman), a professional staff
that knows how to respond to any situation, and a good,
cooperative relationship with the prison board."
Each day, the warden must deal with an inmate's
problems by arranging counseling, approving or denying
phone calls or visits from the outside.
Also, the warden acts on inmate requests ranging from
special diet to as harmless an item as having a radio.
A radio powered by an electric cord Is out, he explains,
as it can be used as a suicide or offensive device. Large
batteries are also out, as they can become bludgeons.
An escape, though rare, can be "one of the worst
experiences there is" for a warden, he says. "You pray
nobody is hurt while the Inmate's out.

"But escape is part of the vernacular As tight as

As can be Imagined, a warden, while keeping a low
profile, still makes his enemies.

comment on

Higher education has problems ranging from low
standards and salaries to too little emphasis on the liberal
arts and too much on vocational training, according to a
recent report on the conditions of American colleges.
Bloomsburg University officials are exploring the
implications of the report, which was prepared by a panel
of prominent educators and presented to U.S. Education

"You really have to look for that middle ground What
does the Bible say, something like, 'Treat a prisoner as
your brother?' I am held accountable for the lives of
these people. You have to treat them as human beings,
and I think I do that."
In a rural county of some 64,000 people, It's not unusual
for the warden to see a familiar face passing through Iron

Jones added that the BU community will "discuss In a
collegial way the steps we will be taking In response to
the national report."
According to the report's panelists, more than 12
million students attend the nation'! 3,300 Institutions of
higher learning. More than half of them are
undergraduates, one-sixth are minorities, two-fifths are
over the age of 25, and fewer than three out of five attend

Dr. John's hobbles are reading, cooking, and
swimming. "I try to swim two or three times a week,"
says Dr. John.
She has "mixed feelings" about giving up teaching for
retirement. "But in retirement," says Dr. John, "I'll
have more time for my other interests."
Dr John has a variety of ideas in mind for her
retirement. "I want to do some writing in my field (17th
century French Literature)," says Dr. John, "and maybe
organize some more educational trips."
Dr. John is not planning to stop teaching. This time she
wants to use her English certification.
"I'd like to teach English as a second language." she
says. "There are many people coming to the U.S. who
need to know English."
Planning to add travel to her retirement list, she wants
to research her French ancestry and "maybe fly to Asia.
South America, and to wanner climates in winter, like
Florida."
Dr. John is leaving BU. but she isn't leaving
Bloomsburg permanently. She says it will still be her
"home base." Therefore, adieu (farewell) isn't
appropriate, but au revoir (to meet again) is.

His friends told him not to move here. Northcentral
Pennsylvania, they warned, is a wild place where labor
agitators tote guns and bodies turn up in rivers.
Grim talk from residents of Arizona
home of the
O.K. Corral.
Jim Sperry didn't exactly start quaking in his boots —
his dad was a coal miner in Western Pennsylvania. He
knew the miners' lingo and knew why the northeastern
anthracite coal region got such a bad rap out west
Long after the Indians and badlands of Arizona were
tamed, people in the coal region were trying to tame an
industry which had become their master. Out west, he
says, the revolution was over — here, it was, and at times
still is, going on.
Sperry, a history professor at Bloomsburg University,
came here to study labor and labor history. In academic
circles, places like Centralia, Wilkes-Barre, Avondale and
Frackville are famous.
The legends of violence that people hear out west are a
result of the rough fight that miners put up to gain their
freedom from coal companies that controlled almost
every aspect of their lives, Sperry says.
Before the civil war, "One of the Alabama senators
arguing for slavery said there's no slave in the south
worse off than an anthracite miner," he says.
Other reminders of the area's violent past have been
immortalized in books and films.
At least two of the famed Molly McGuires were hung
behind the Columbia County Courthouse in Bloomsburg
The story of the Molly McGuires was made into a
movie starring Sean Connery. Segments of the film were
shot in nearby Eckley and at what's now Pioneer Village,
north of Bloomsburg on Route 11.
In Sperry's last year of graduate school in Arizona he
switched his major from diplomacy to labor history and
decided to come east, to come home. His advisor, a wellto-do, scholarly southern gentleman, wasn't pleased with
Sperry's decision. Sperry smiles as he recalls the lecture
he got from his distinguished mentor.

Located on Lightstreet Road,

just

Bloomsburg University alumni now have a house to call
own!
Acting on behalf of over 28,000 BU graduates, the
Alumni Board of Directors has purchased what they
consider to be "the right house, in the right location, at
their

the right time."
In early April, officers of the Alumni Association
learned that the home of the late Dorothy John Dillon,
Class of 1924, was being sold by her estate. Located on
nearly four acres of land
some of which adjoins the
east end of the University property
the house
impressed members of the Alumni Board who were called
to a special meeting on Saturday, April 6.
After several hours of careful and thoughtful
deliberation, the board voted to make an offer on the
property. The offer was submitted on April 8, accepted by
the estate on April 9, and the agreement of sale was
signed on April 11 in the Hamburg office of Alumni

ADRIENNE

As the processional began, the woman donned a dark
blue smock and took her place before the hundreds of
graduates and thousands of guests at the fairgrounds.
While the first speaker addressed the audience, the
woman motioned with her fingers, palms and hands
only stopping when the speaker did.
The scene was one of several Bloomsburg University
commencements in the last few years in which sign
language interpreting was provided for the hearing

impaired. It was also the scenario this May 11 when
750 BU students were awarded degrees, and Roger
Tory Peterson, the famed ornithologist, delivered the
keynote address.
Since 1973, greater attention has been paid to the
special needs of disabled individuals. Providing
interpreting services at major events is one of the
ways BU attempts to meet the needs of the hearing
impaired. The university recently established a
program designed to train students to be interpreters
also
of American Sign Language (ASL). This program
provides interpreting support for many BU functions
such as commencement. Intitiated by Professor Sam
Slike of the Department of Communication Disorders
and Special Education, it is currently directed by
Professor Gary Mowl.
BU currently offers the associate's and bachelor s
degrees as well as a certificate in ASL. It's one in only

Students are admitted into the university's
Interpreter Training Program as freshmen. They
two
receive training in sign language during their first
years and training in interpreting during the last two.
The curriculum's philosophy is that learning and
speaking sign language must be accomplished like
fluency in any other foreign language. Included are
studies in
five sign language courses supplemented by

Deaf Culture, which emphasizes the social,
psychological and personal aspects of the deaf
community.
Mowl says that sign language instruction provides
students with the skills necessary to fluently
communicate with deaf people. Once mastery in sign
language has been achieved, the students are trained
in interpreting.

"To be proficient, students hear the spoken word in
English and sign it into a different language at the
same time," according to Mowl.

In addition to the 74 credits required in
training courses in the Bachelor of Science program,
students are encouraged to take several
communication courses as well. The majors are

cover police, city and county
government, education and to write feaures and
profiles. There were times when being black kept her
from covering stories, but there were also times that
her color got her the story.
One Incident occurred at a private country club
whose members were all white. She was assigned to
Interview a congressman who was speaking there.
McCoy was kept out because she was black. The
Incident changed that day's headlines from
'congressman visits' to 'black reporter barred from
covering congressman.'
After three years as a journalist, McCoy was offered
the university relations Job at MVSU. Says McCoy,
"When MVSU came along, I was making about $10,000
a year. They (MVSU) almost doubled that. I thought
about the kids, stability, retirement security, and no
more ambulance chasing, threats or weird hours."
McCoy enjoys public relations. "The hours are still
weird, but 1 like being able to communicate with .ill
kinds of people with all sorts of personalities." Says
McCoy, "It's like you're the link between one extreme
and the other. And somehow you might be able t<>
bring them together."
But McCoy does say that being director of university
relations can be as frustrating at timet as it Is
rewarding. "There are a lot of things I'd like to do, but
the resources Just aren't here rl«ht now " Soys McCoy,

Before McCoy came to Bloomsburg, she was the
director of university relations at Mississippi Valley
State University, the country's youngest historically

of support is her family. McCoy
one of 13 children, all of whom are very close "I
really miss them," says McCoy. "When I was in
Mississippi, we got together nearly every weekend I

very high."
McCoy began her career in journalism at college.
She remembers, "I went to college (all black) to make
up my mind about what I was going to do with my life.
While I was there, I started writing. Instructors said,
'Well you don't have to take the basic writing courses,
go right into the advanced.' Then they asked me to be
the editor of the college newspaper, then the yearbook,
and somebody said 'Well, you ought to major in
journalism.' By the time I graduated, I was majoring
in journalism."
After finishing junior college, McCoy went to a
predominantly white senior college to finish her
education. It was here that she learned some realities
about race and the real world.
Recalls McCoy, "I had lots of great professors, but
one was really biased. It was a feature writing class
and the requirements were clear. I was the only black

When McCoy graduated from USM,

she wrote to
Hodding Carter III, editor of the Delta DemocratTimes, founded by the late Hodding Carter II (who
won the 1946 Pulitzer Price for his paper's stand on
racial discrimination). Carter III wrote McCoy back
offering her a job.

strongly supports black colleges as well as

McCoy does commend Bloomsburg on Increasing the

we should relax."
McCoy has received a number of honors during her
career. At MVSU, she was the only woman on the
executive council (the highest decision making group on
campus). When she worked at the Delta Democrat Times,
the Ford Foundation named her a Ford Fellow In
Educational Journalism (one of only 10 In the nation that
year). She has also received several awards for writing,
layouts and broadcasting.
But her greatest achievement of all was when she wrote

Eleven months ago. Jessie McCoy and her two
daughters, Raven, seven, and Tameka, 12. packed all
their belongings and left the Mississippi Delta for
Northeastern Pennsylvania. As they drove into
Bloomsburg. Raven turned to her mother and asked.
"Hey Mamma, are you sure we're going to the right
place? I don't see anybody but white people. Where
are the blacks?"
McCoy turned to her daughter and replied, halfseriously. "Raven, there aren't any— we're it!"
Says McCoy. "I was living in the Mississippi Delta.
49 percent black in population. I came here and didn't
know a soul, and contrastingly everybody is white! I
thought, 'what if these white people are like some of
the white people I've read about? What if they have all
these myths about blacks? What am I going to do?'
"I went through this when I was moving here,"
recalls McCoy, "but people were really nice to me and
still are. A lot nicer than I expected."
McCoy became BU's director of university relations
in July. She has an associate of arts degree from
Coahoma Junior College and a bachelor of arts In
journalism from the University of Southern

trying to adjust to that."
Another difference McCoy notices in Bloomsburg is
the attitudes about blacks in churches. Says McCoy, "I
couldn't go into the First Baptist and feel comfortable
back home. But I can go into any one of the churches
here because attitudes seem to be different."
Then there is the difference in the ratios of blacks to
whites. Says McCoy, "It's a drastic change in that
sense. Racism exists in both places, but it affects me
in a different way here because I'm not sure I'll have
the kind of support here that I did there in case of a

black college.
"I got there when the office was literally a desk and
a chair— building it from doing few news releases and
less in publications, television and radio productions to
doing all of these things and more," recalls McCoy.
She also helped to complete a documentary film on
the university and started a regular television and
radio show at MVSU. She is currently trying to start a
similar radio and television show at Bloomsburg.
Since her move here, McCoy says that she hasn't
really had that many problems with racism. "I read
about people in the Northeast, about communities
where race never enters the picture," says McCoy,
"and I knew it would be different when I got here."
But she admits she still had some apprehension.
"Back home they tell us that the difference In white
folks here and there Is that you know where whites In
the South stand, you have to guess where the northern
whites stand on certain racial issues. I'm not sure how
true this stereotyping is," she adds.
She has noticed a number of differences between the
South and the North— "other than the weather," she
chuckles. "For example, I used to get upset when
people back home called me 'gal.' 'Gal' here is a
special word. People here when they call you 'gal,'
don't seem to mean it in a derogatory sense. I'm

Upper Moreland's Mario Berlanda '49 received a letter
from Governor Dick Thornburgh congratulating him on
his career at his retirement

Mario Berlanda's classes were always lessons In life
His civics students never Just sat behind a desk with
their heads burled In their textbooks.
"I had them do everything," he recalls with a grin as
he crosses his legs and leans back In his desk chair In his
office In the Upper Moreland Administration Building
They didn't Just learn about the electoral process they
lived It. He and his students staged the works-"from
registration on through." A mock convention was held
("with the fanfare and all,") Berlanda remembers with
obvious pleasure. Speeches were delivered and an election followed, with votes cast In a real voting machine
shipped in to the Upper Moreland High School.
His freshman students even ventured out into the
community and knocked on doors encouraging people to
vote in the primary elections. Voter turn-out that year

recalls with a chuckle.
Berlanda also coached baseball, football and bowling at

three decades
Where did he find the time? "I made it," he answers
simply. "People always wonder about that. You make
time You set priorities— first things first."
As a teacher, and as a supervisor of student teachers at
Penn State's Main Campus— an experience he considers
one of the "pinnacles" of his career— he continually
emphasized the importance of the social and emotional

He gives an example: "You're the student, and I'm the
teacher. I ask a question and then you answer, and then 1
do this." He raised his graying eyebrows, rolled his eyes
around the small office, and contorted his face into
various exaggerated expressions of. disgust. Then he
pointed to a far corner of the room and called on another
student.

"Or what if I say, 'Wrong again,' and get angry and
praise the student who answers correctly?"
"Or now, how about if I said to you, 'That's interesting.
How did you arrive at that answer?' And you go through
a long process of explanation, most of it wrong, but with a
little bit of truth to it. I extract that little bit of truth and

"Now who would you

rather have as a teacher?" he

inquired.

Berlanda still hears from the students and athletes he
has guided over the years. Their messages are almost
always ones of gratitude— "I am where I am because of
you," an athlete-turned-coach-and-teacher told Berlanda
at his recent retirement dinner.
"That's a great feeling," Berlanda said. "If you help
one child, you've done the job. You don't know how many
students you influence— colleagues you influence— and
these are the things I treasure."
But to Berlanda, the contributions he has made are not
extraordinary. "A lot of these things come with the
territory," he said. "If I do something good, it was
something I was expected to do. It's all part of my job
and part of my nature. I know a lot of people don't look at
things this way. But if I see something going on in the
hallway, for example, whether it's good or bad, I get
Involved. Some teachers think that when they walk out of
the classroom their job is done. Not me."
The Willow Grove resident also likes taking stock of his
political accomplishments. He has served on a long list of
local, state,
and national legislative committees on
eduation and has held a position as the legislative contact
for three U.S. Congressional Districts for the National
Education Association, and as state director and treasurer of the Pennsylvania Political Action Committee for
Education.
Berlanda, father to two teachers and one horticulturist,
and grandfather to six, won't be leaving the work force
entirely on June 29, however. He will still be working
part-time as a retirement consultant for a Jenklntown
investment company.
"I'll keep busy," he said assuredly. In his new-found
spare time, he hopes to travel, fish, hunt, garden, and do
some car repair. ".

who always have something that needs to be done. My

about helping me.
"There's a lot of things I want to do, and I can't do
them if I have to get up and work at 8 every morning.
Now, if God's willing, I can do them."
As he reflects upon his 35 years of dedicated service to
Upper Moreland township, he knows he can proudly say,
"What I've done. I've done to the best of my ability."
Mario's address is 3375 Whitehall Drive, Willow Grove.

"You being working

to fulfill the expectations of others

Instead of working the way you want to. and in most
cases it's not worth the effort."
At age 27. Warner has found a style and way of life
worth his effort in an area he credits with "helping the

development" of his artistic ideas.
"Bloomsburg is a good place for an artist to work," he
remarks.
"There's not the hustle and bustle of the big city, and
yet it's not isolated from cultural aspects because of the
university."
With the right

setting behind him, Warner works
diligently at honing the skills that contribute to the area's
religious tradition.
of his efforts include a portrait of Jesus
a field looking away from Jerusalem.
Another picture is of the crucifixion, distinguished by a
dark background with shades of light blue that the artist
says is a representation of the hope "Jesus gave for
everlasting life."
Creativity, whether religious or not, seems commonplace In Warner's family.
His father, Earl. Sr., was a writer for the Williamsport
Sun Gazette and Grit, and is currently working on a book
about the Korean War His brother, Earl Jr., is a
songwriter with a country style.
Warner himself works at music, acting and writing.
While still a student at BU. he appeared in several
theater productions that included "Fiddler on the Roof."
'The Fantastics" and "The Great Magician.!'
He remains active in theater by participating in churchsponsored plays around the area.
In music, Warner eventually hopes to record his own
album of Christian music As a writer he tries his hand at
poetry and short stories.
"Being an artist you should try to involve yourself in
different aspects of the field," he comments.
"Too often people place limits on themselves by saying
i can't do this or I can't do that.'
"We have so many resources we never utilize because
of that attitude and it's a waste. How do you know you
can't do something unless you try?"
As he continued experimenting with new methods in the
arts, Warner says his purpose in the field will never vary.
"I may change my style, but my message to spread the
word of Christ will remain," he says.
"When you have a strong conviction in something, as I
do in my faith, the foundation for your work has been
established."

While the latest trends In art often favor individuals
with a flair for creating works that leave spectators and
critics In a quandary, artists such as Charles Warner "83
are content to leave a clear picture.
Warner, a Bloomsburg resident with a flair for expressing sentiment and emotion In his work, terms himself a
Christian artist with a surrealist approach.
"My style can be interpreted as an abstract idea
realistically rendered," Warner says in explaining his
work that centers on a religious theme
The definition might bewilder anyone viewing his
paintings or drawings without understanding the terminology.

tradition of "the friendly college on the hlJI" was

were most helpful and cooperative In readying

become settled. Others sent warm wishes of welcome
and expressed their support.
Before officially beginning my duties as your new

Early that morning I had a phone call from a local

that afternoon when the day was completed, and I had
something to report. Also during the afternoon I

World friendship goal
Bloomsburg area residents can learn more about
individuals and customs of other countries and provide
friendship and hospitality to lonely foreign students
through an International Friendship Program being
initiated by the International Friendship Council of
Bloomsburg University.
A pilot project began this summer with students from
Liverpool, England, who were here for about eight weeks,
as well as new arrivals from other countries who will
attend classes at BU this fall.
The summer pilot program will be expanded to include
the returning international students in the fall, along with
the remainder of new admissions to the university. There

Bloomsburg minister John Lucas, chairman of the
council.

Other council members include BU professor Anthony
Sylvester, foreign student advisor; Roshani
Samarasiughe, president of the foreign student group,

Dr. Poplawsky, 36, a psychology professor at
Bloomsburg University, has spent the past 12 years
studying the behavior of brain-damaged rats.
Specifically. Dr. Poplawsky has spent most of his time
studying the effects of septal lesions (damage) on the

behavior of rats.

of the limbic system in the

1985

For naturalist Roger Tory Peterson,

life Is

for the

birds.

The nationally known ornithologist, writer, artist and
lecturer delivered the commencement address here May
11 to about 700 sun-drenched graduating seniors at
Bloomsburg University, punctuating his speech with
personal anecdotes and memories of a boy who went hogwild over birds at an early age.
"During the school years, many young people bow to
peer pressure," he said. "They usually do what the others

do They do what
"

Is 'In.'

But what

Is 'In'

may

soon be

'out.'

And he gave the graduating class some time-honored
tips.

"My

yourself. It Just might have survival value
Peterson received an honorary Doctor of Letters from
BU for his achievements and contributions to natural
science. He Is the author and Illustrator of numerous bird,
flower and other nature guides.
But Peterson pointed out that his success was due to
education, and In particular, to an elementary school
teacher named Blanche Hornbeck.
"How does a teacher know whether his or her efforts
are fruitful?" he asked. "How do they know whether they
have really gotten through to students? It may take many
years to assess this. A teacher may never know."
He went on to tell about Hornbeck, who formed a junior
Audubon Club In Jamestown, New York, where Peterson
was bom and raised. She distributed ten leaflets about
birds, each with a drawing for club members to color.
She also provided the watercolors. For Peterson, It was
all uphill from there.
As one enamored with the beauty and vitality of birds,
Peterson urged the graduating class not to become
"biologically illiterate
"In this gadget Civilisation that

But that doesn't mean that the graduating seniors must
abandon their courses of study in today's fast-paced
world.

"We have

"But we really need more blo-englncers, blo-lawyers

Poetry prize created
An annual poetry prize has been established in honor of
Professor Richard C. Savage upon his recent retirement
from the BU faculty. Sponsored by the Academy of
American Poets and the English Department, the contest
will be open to any undergraduate enrolled at the
university.

An award of $100 will be made for the prize-winning
poem selected by a panel of three judges. Two poems will
be cited for honorable mention.
Poems will be judged on clarity and the imaginative
use of language, Imagery, control of theme, and
originality of insight.

Savage donated the local prize as part of the College
and University Poetry Prize Program of the Academy of
American Poets In 1984-1985. BU's winner, selected from
14 contestants, was Bobbie Lee Urso for "When I Knew
You." Judges were Harry Ackerman. Richard O'Keefe

reports that a selected combination of 30 credit hours in
the instructional technology curricula prepares graduates
to enter a number of careers in business, industry,
government and various non-profit agencies. With this
techical background in computers and interactive video,
graduates are able to prepare training programs for

employees in a wide range of fields.
"Because of the instructional technologist's potentials
for developing and redeveloping human resources, their
field is the largest single projected career growth area in
corporate business through the year 2000. " Pantaleo
noted. "Current and future employment trends justify
Pennsylvania's needs for such a program. Technology is
no longer futuristic, it's now. Consequently, for now and
the future, instructional technologists are needed to help
America through the changing employment trends."
The BU program places emphasis on strategies and
techniques for successful human systems development —
including areas highlighted by the American Society for
Training and Development, and especially areas
involving the use of computers with other audio-visuals.

The following
written by

For Max G. Cooley, retirement marks the beginning of
"a new challenge."
Cooley, 61, has been an educator for 34 years, teaching
and administering In both public schools and colleges
Originally from Towanda, he earned his bachelor's
degree from Bloomsburg and a master of arts and
doctorate of education from Columbia University. AJI
three were In business education.
For the last 25 years, Cooley has worked at
Shlppensburg University In the business education
department. He retired In August
Although he has many plans for his retirement, he has
mixed emotions about leaving Shlppensburg
"Young people are outstanding today," he says. "I will
miss working with them."
The tall, balding professor has lived In a small gray
house at 404 Sunset Lane, Shlppensburg, for 25 years.
Cooley built his back porch eight years ago.
"We Just about live out here during the summer," he
says.

"The house is in a nice location." Cooley adds. "We
have wonderful neighbors here, people we think an
awfully lot of. and I suspect that has Influenced our
choice to stay here
Cooley Joined Shlppensburg's faculty In 1959 as an
assistant professor. He was made an associate professor
and director of business In 1965
Two years Inter, he became a full professor In 1970, he
became chairman of (he business education department

When he arrived at Shlppensburg In 1959. it was then
Shlppensburg State Teachers* College — a very small
school with a very smaJI campus.
"I've seen It not only grow, but change very
dynamically, from a teacher education, single-purpose
Institution to a multi-purpose institution." he says.
Cooley has been Involved In many professional
organizations. He served as president of the Pennsylvania
Association for Adult Education, the Pennsylvania State
College/University Council for Continuing Education and
the Pennsylvania Business Education Association.
But education Is definitely not his only interest.
He was awarded Shlppensburg Chamber of

Commerce's Common Ground Award In 1981. The annual
award Is given to the person who does the most to foster
better relationships between the community and the
university.

Cooley received the award for his participation in the

In the backyard of the couple's home is a colorful

peaceful, relaxing place to spend time.
Cooley has entered his flowers and vegetables in shows,
and plants three gardens yearly. Now that he's retired, he
says he plans to spend more time gardening.
He also wants to travel more. Recently, the couple took
a cruise to the Caribbean, and Cooley has visited every
state except Alaska and Hawaii.

He walked Into the Bloomsburg State College
gymnasium 16 years ago, a 5-10 guard who wasn't good
enough to make his high school team.
Four years later, he walked off the BSC basketball
court as one of the best guards In the school's history.
His number "10" was retired a few years ago.

playground and empty echoing YMCA circuit wasn't easy
for Luptowski when he left college in 1973.
"When you first get out, it's tough, but now it's so long
ago. You Just get on with your life. It was once and
done."
Luptowski didn't have a chance to go the overseas
professional route like John Willis did. "I would have
loved to, but there's a limit on Americans and there's a
lot of guys in the world who are 5-10.
"They almost always want big guys, they have their
own small guys," he laughs.
Even at age 33, Luptowski says that if he got the
chance to go overseas, he'd be in good enough shape to
play.

During the high school season, he stays off the sandlot
and runs with Gomez, the lazy German Shepard
stretched out on the floor of the field house.
After that, he's out on tour with Mast and Grecian.
"We went to Brownsville, Brooklyn, for a pick-up game
two months ago, and we went to Woodstock to play, too,"
says Luptowski.
The best part of summer is returning here, to see old
teammates and to give the camp kids a chance at the
moment he had 12 years ago.
"The younger kids offer tremendous enthusiasm. The
older kids you can teach."
Luptowski says his position at guard is a definite
teaching advantage because "lead guards have a better
circuit

He's 33 now, but with his thin frame and hang-Jaw grin,
Luptowski could pass for a college junior.
Old teammates like John Willis, now a professional star
in Israel, come back for the camp. Ex-NBA players like
Bob Grecian and Eddie Mast, Luptowski's good pals, also
stop in for a few days.
When the camp kids head back to the lower campus for
dinner and a night of horseplay and television, the pick-up
games start. Luptowski, Grecian and Mast all live within
driving distance of each other and play together every
chance they get.
Luptowski is the head basketball coach at Kutztown
High School
his team posted a 27-3 record this season
and he and his friends will travel a lot farther than
Bloomsburg to play ball.

it's the pure physics of the game that matter, not

He hopes Chronister shares that philosophy when he
looks for a new assistant.
"I'd love to come up to the college level," he says. But
right now, the afternoon camp session is in full progress,
and Luptowski heads back into the gym to teach the older
kids and laugh with the youngsters.
When it's over, there will be another pick-up game and
after that it's out to the old college haunts for
a few beers

last fall, Benyo decided it was time for a change:
"(After) seven and a half years as an executive in a
magazine conglomerate where I've annually been kicked
farther and farther upstairs until I was more
than
journalist, I resigned my position on November 30 in
order to dive deeply into writing and journalism, where
my heart dwells. The move has been coming for the past
several years, and although for a year or two I won't be
making anywhere as much money, I suspect that once I
get rolling, I'll be okay. At least I'll be doing what I was
trained for at BSC."
A book that Benyo has written with Elaine LaLanne
(Jack's wife) will be published by The Stephen Greene
Press and will be distributed by Viking. He's also coauthoring a book on fit lifestyles for people reaching 40
which will be published by Atheneum next year. He is
also under contract with The Stephen Greene Press to do
a book on how to train for and run your first marathon. In
addition, he is working with AMERICAN HEALTH

work for POPULAR COMPUTING magazine. At the
same time, he is working with SAN FRANCISCO FOCUS

During the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame Champions for
Older Workers competition held In Harrlsburg recently,
Bloomsburg University was named grand champion for
its role in gaining national publicity for America's older
workers in a special television documentary, "Rural
America: Coming of Age."
Narrated by veteran actor Lome Greene, the film was
aired nationwide on PBS-TV in preparation for the White
House Conference on Aging The film explored five major
problems as identified by the nation's older rural
citizens: employment, energy, health, housing and
transportation. To acknowledge the value of the film, the
university was awarded a bronze medal by the
International Film and Television Festival of New York.
Competing with over 4,000 entries from 30 different
countries, only 10 percent won awards.
According to Orville Carver, state director of the
Pennsylvania Green Thumb Program and co-chairman of
the event, the award was "warranted because of
Bloomsburg's commitment and efforts to further the
goals of senior employment and to work diligently toward

'MS Father
The following article about George Cook '67 was written
by Peggy Schmidt for the Sunday News, Lancaster.
Five years ago, when George Cook was told he had
multiple sclerosis, he was glad to hear It
An unusual reaction, perhaps, but Cook explained that
the symptoms he'd been experiencing were suspected to
be the result of a brain tumor.
"When you think you have a brain tumor, you think
you've had It. With MS, you can live a fairly normal, or at
least a productive

life.

Under the circumstances,

easier to take."

.

.

Because of his positive attitude and his ability to
"project cheer and sunshine with his life-style," Cook has
been named MS Father of the Year for 1985 by the
Lancaster County Chapter, National Multiple Sclerosis
Society.

A resident of Stevens R.D. 2, Cook Is employed as a
teacher of business subjects at Ephrata Area High
School. He "carpools" to work, he said, although he no
longer takes his turn at driving.
Smiling, he said, "I can drive. I don't. MS cuts down on
reaction time and, for me, It's not at a safe level I think
the guys In the car pool got nervous when I drove!"
Confined to a wheelchair, he claimed the chair Is "no
problem at school." Because state law provides for an

In fact, the students at EAHS have treated Cook
differently, In a sense. According to Jere Scott, executive
director of the Lancaster MS Society, "The students are
so impressed with George's courage and determination
that they sponsor a Type-a-Thon periodically, on behalf of

George, for our chapter."
In addition, the teachers and students once raised $5,000
so Cook might avail himself of an experimental mode of
treatment designed to retard the progression of his
Illness.

"Everybody — students and teachers — knew I have

sometimes It doesn't."

THE ALUMNI QUARTERIY/September

Jan competes
The following article about Jan Prosseda '66 was
written by Bob Black for the Patriot-News, Harrisburg

in

Harrisburg Sunday.
Prosseda, who will compete in the 5,000-meter run on
June 25th and the 3,000-meter steeple chase on June 27th.
says this will be his last competitive race
The meet will be held in Olympic Stadium, site of the
1960 Rome Olympics, and is for athletes 40 and older
With more than 50 nations competing, some of the
former Olympians and world record holders include Peter
Snell of New Zealand and Al Oerter, Ed Burke, John
Carlos, Parry O'Brien, Willie Davenport, Bob Richards,
Thane Baker, Josh Culbreath, Boo Morcom and Earl
Young.
A graduate of Milton High School in 1961. where he
lettered in five different sports, Prosseda was a state
college record holder in the one and two-mile runs and set
a course record while winning the 1964 state college cross
country run at Blooms burg.
But, after finishing up at Bloomsburg, Prosseda left
that area and a rigorous training program and became
sedentary for the next 12 years.
In 1977, however, he was talked into entering the
Harrisburg Marathon, and within four years was doing
the same things he had done in high school and college
winning races.
By 1983 and 1984 he had set national age group racing
records
4:24 in the mile and 9:21 in the two mile.
Last August he received All-America status by placing
second in the 3,000-meter steeple chase in the National
Masters in Eugene, Oregon.
Prosseda, who teaches business courses at the
Harrisburg Steelton-Highspire Vo-Tech, runs three times
a day, lifts weights, swims and keeps himself in the kind
of shape it takes to compete in a national track and field

the race.
"In the 3,000-meter steeplechase. 1 was the only
American qualifier In the race and had run a time that
would have placed In the top ten. At the second barrier,
the runner In front of me fell on the barrier and I had to
dive over him. On the next lap, my shoe came off after

Prosseda, however, he Is concerned about
his condition for going to Rome.
"This year I ran three times a day instead of the usual
two and increased my lifting weight," he said.
"Unfortunately, because of the Increase In my training,
I'm afraid I've overtrained and lost leg speed."
One of the reasons Prosseda is getting out of the
competitive world following the meet in Rome Is a
personal change in philosophy.
"There is nothing as fulfilling as winning when you
have worked very hard for it," he said. "But right now

(The reason for my shoe coming off and my toenail
catching was that my shoes expanded after becoming wet
from the water In the jumps pit. I had to land on the
barrier and the track with the same foot (like hopscotch).
I was 26th out of about 50.
"It's not the ending that I would have written to my
competitive career, but I have had so many good things
happen that I can't let It bother me. 1 never lost a dual
meet In high school or college (76-0), had state records In
the one and two-mile runs and cross-country, qualified for
the Olympic Trials, was All-American and beyond college
I was Harrisburg Runner of the Year, set three national
age group records, was Ail-American Master, and ranked
fifth in the world.
"I was second In National Collegiate Championships In
college because I had no one there to advise me, and I
carried the thought that I had failed for many years
after. It's foolish. I ran the best race I could run then, and
I ran the best races I could In Rome. I trained as hard as
I could over all the years that I was involved in running.
Why count the negatives?
"1 don't like pressure, pain or being nervous. That's
why I'm retiring from competitive running. I'll still run
five miles a day
which is fun, but running 20 onequarter mile sprints or ten half-mile sprints with a 100yard jog between Isn't
"While In Rome, I saw the Pope, visited Venice,

the cost benefit is way out of proportion for me. My
priorities and ideals have changed.
"I feel athletes are over-valued, just like movie stars,
rock stars and other celebrities."
But, although Prosseda says he is unwilling to take the
time and effort it takes to continue training for events

such as the world championships in Rome, he has no
second thoughts about the amount of time he has spent
concentrating on that trip.
"I've trained this whole year strictly preparing for
Rome, hoping the desire to win will help me," he said

When Jan Prosseda travels to Rome next week, he will

But, despite the trip to a site 50 miles south of his

a social call.
The 41 -year-old Harrisburg resident will be going to
Rome to compete in the World Masters Track and Field

best effort."

Although Prosseda will give his all in the Rome meet,
he realistically concedes that a high finish isn't likely,
due to the class of competition.
"I'll be going against guys who have dedicated years of
hard work into getting ready for meets such as this," he
said "I can't put myself in that same category.
"I feel good about the amount of time and effort I've
put into running and attempting to stay physically fit. and
when the meet is over I'll continue to run for fitness. I
just won't do it competitively."
And, when the meet in Rome is over, he will spend
some time visiting in Italy, which is something he
couldn't have done without making the trip to compete in
the World Masters competition

as a university professor
Not only has Radice taught here for 28 years, he also
matriculated here for four years, receiving his bachelor
of science degree In business education. He also holds a
master of arts and a doctorate in business law at
Pennsylvania State University.
Throughout his years at BU, Radice has seen a lot of
changes take place. "When I first came to work here in
1957, It was primarily a state teachers' college. Three
years later, it became an all-purpose school, though we
still mainly trained teachers for the Commonwealth.
Today, there are so many different degrees that we never
thought would be here. This is the best change we've

made."
Radice recalls the formality of the '50s when faculty
dressed semi-formally and class attendance was essential
to passing grades.
"We also had compulsory attendance at assembly twice
a week." he recalls. "Dr. Harvey Andruss, the college
president, read the announcements, and attendance was
taken. Andruss was a formal president. I guess you might
call him autocratic, but very effective. It worked for him,
as did the other rules, because it was all so relative to the
times. When the country was more conservative, so was

Nossen became president In 1969 during the
Vietnam era and there was some unrest on the
campus. "We had some protests," Radice says, "but not
many. I think that's mostly because our students come
from hard-working, professional families and their

From the late '60s to '70s, Bloomsburg had a
tremendous period of building growth. Radice got
Involved on the committee to name some buildings. "My
favorite Is the Kehr (pronounced care) Union Building."
It was named for Dr. Marguerite Kehr, dean of women
for many years. "She was a real friend to the women on
campus a real jewel of a lady," he recalls.
"My other favorite name is Centennial Gym because it

built

during the 100th anniversary of the college,"

Radice notes.

When it comes to the business department, Radice (eels
the department has gone through many changes. "The
business department has been good since about 1930.
Many of our graduates went on to become Certified
Public Accountants and are now working at 'Big Eight'
firms, and a number have gone on to law school.
"In 1960, we started a master's program for business

With all the changes that he has seen, the most recent
is from state college to university. "I like the change. It
sounds broader and more prestigous In addition, there is
more unity. We have our own chancellor, which means
we can control our destiny."
From his college days through today, he will no longer
be the professor who has been around the longest. After

summer, Frank Radice is retiring.
"There are four things I really want to do when I retire

When she Joined the office in January 1984 she thinks
many of the people on probation may have wondered,
"What's this little girl going to do for me?"
"I don't come off with a big whip and chain thing. I'm
you with anything."
But she added, "I've used (hand) cuffs many times,
and I'm not afraid to do it.
"The bottom line in my Job is to protect the
willing to help

community."
Although she concedes there are some people who do
want to be or cannot be helped, she said there are
many who have Just fallen on hard times. She said she
has had clients who have made "miraculous
turnarounds." When that happens, the person, not the

office, gets the credit."

Murphy was an intern in the office before she
graduated from Bloomsburg University in 1983. After a
stint as an aerobics teacher and social worker in a New
Jersey group home for severely retarded girls, she was
hired by Montour County to handle domestic relations
enforcement and juvenile probation.
After the chief probation officer resigned last August,
all the administrative functions and the
Juvenile and adult caseloads. This past March she was
named acting chief probation officer.
The move to a probation officer's position in Denver
represents a chance for Murphy and her husband, Pat '83,

to

take the challenge.
School systems In Australia are set up In basically the
same manner as the United States. The curriculum
contains similar material, although some subject matter
may be a bit behind the U.S.
"They pick up things from the United States," Linda
explained.

She added that parents play a major role In their
children's learning process. They have parents'
parent-teacher association.

One mother In particular, Linda remembers, became

outside Sydney. It is located on the southeastern side of
Australia, allowing them easy access to both the city and
the country. They enjoy hiking and walking, something
that Bob was surprised to see very little of here In the

United States.
"Australians are more outdoors type people than
Americans," he observed. "Everybody walks in
Australia."

"Yes," Linda added, "you see old ladles walking to the
grocery store, and you know they have cars, but they like
to walk."
Something else Australians enjoy are sports. Bob said
the most popular are football, played in the winter, and
cricket, their summer sport. The style of football played
In Australia follows the Scottish version of the game.
There Is Just one team, and only the person with the ball
gets tackled. And without padding, it can become quite a
rough activity. Linda and Bob prefer to play a more

sportsmanlike game of squash
Another of the stumbling blocks Linda had to face was
the weather. Although a change of seasons Is hard to
detect, with snow falling mostly In the mountains, the
weather can alter drastically during the day. She said the
temperature can be 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning
and reach 70 degrees by the afternoon.
"You learn to wear layers of clothes." Bob said. "Then
you Just peel them off as the day gets wanner."
A final adjustment Linda had to master was driving.
She knew how to drive before she moved to Australia, but
not on the left side of the road. That, she said, took a lot

used to.
Being a native of Australia, Bob has an Interesting
outlook on the United States. Australians see Americans
as having huge cars. If someone mentions that they live

the person must be very wealthy.
Otherwise. Bob said that expenses there are
comparable to those In the U.S. He said the country is
influenced both by the U.S. and Great Britain, which is
most evident in the government. Their legislature
consists of a Parliament and a House of Representatives.
Queen Elizabeth is still considered the nominal head, but
with less importance than in Britain.
Coming back to her native area, Linda remembers the
quiet, peaceful, hometown atmosphere of Royersford.
Both she and Bob are impressed with the development
surrounding the community, most noticeably the
expressway and the enlargement of the King of Prussia
area. Bob was especially awed by the size of the shopping
