students.
As you know, students today have a set of world circumstances and personal choices that are in many ways the
most challenging of any generation. Though the list of concerns is rather lengthy, allow me to enumerate a few.
-According to a 1988 study financed by the Federal Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1 in 500 college students tested positive for the HIV virus that triggers AIDS.
-With the changing demographics of our society, interpersonal tensions are mounting, and on the campus, tensions
between students of different races and backgrounds are erupting into serious conflicts.
-The country's criminal justice experts predict that the combination of drugs, deadly weapons, and demographics
could lead to the bloodiest decade of crime in American history.
What are we doing to prepare and assist our students with these life-changing and life-threatening concerns? I can
number of things we, as a body of faculty and staff members, are doing. First and foremost, we are provid-
point to a

ing a solid education in the classroom.
and respond to a number of complex issues. We are working to regard each other as individuals, to better understand
one another, and to appreciate the cultural diversity of our community. We are educating students about AIDS. We
have established a Volunteer Services Office and have witnessed an increase in volunteer activities. We are recycling
and are providing programs to help increase environmental awareness. We are exploring new ways to use opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for teaching and learning.
We have done a number of things at Bloomsburg University to help our students, and we will continue to do so.
However, we can do more to improve our effectiveness. We can comnnit and recommit ourselves more fully to the
task before us.
In the book. Campus in Crisis, Buell G. Gallagher comments, "There is no answer to the exigent moment short of a
fundamental reconsideration of educational purpose." What is our purpose? In our university mission statement we
say, "...it is a goal of the university to develop in its students the characteristics of mental resourcefulness and responsible self-expression as well as the abilities to think critically, clarify values, and demonstrate problem-solving skills."
We have certainly identified the tools our students will need for life. The challenge is ours, both faculty and staff, to
equip our students with these special tools - and not one of us can be excused from this task.
I believe students are our most important consideration, and we cannot let meetings, activities, paperwork, or
hidden agendas take us away from, or interfere with our primary purpose. It is our responsibility, yours and mine, to
provide the best teaching/ learning experience possible in order to equip our students.. .both for today and tomorrow.

For parents who made a gift of $35 or more, a
book was purchased, and the names of both
parents and the student were placed on a bookplate. Over a two-year period, 1,195 volumes
were added to Andiuss Library. The Parents'

Newly purchased life insurance.
Unitrusts and annuity trusts offer both tax
savings and an annual income stream. Securities and real estate, if owned for more than one
year, offer the best possibilities in avoiding
capital gains taxes. Life insurance policies, on
the other hand, qualify for a tax deduction
through premiums payments. The major
advantage of life insurance, however, is that
creates new wealth or new endowments at a
relatively small annual cost.
it
Present tax laws offer incentives to both current
and potential donors. Some incentives are
immediate tax deductions, adjustments to
capital gains tax, additional spendable income,
and reductions in estate and administrative
taxes. The maximum effect of a planned or
deferred gift can be obtained by the careful
selection of a suitable contribution option that
reflects the size of the desired gift and the tax
benefits sought.
Because of these and other financial benefits
not listed, more generous gifts are possible than
may have been previously thought.

The Scholarship Fund • The Trust for

of the special $3.5 million Trust campaign.
Thus far, $1.3 million has been received in
cash, pledges, and planned gifts for the

guidance of an ad hoc
advisory committee. Because BU faculty and
staff have diverse interests, two major undergraduate scholarship options were defined.
Option I: BU Family Relatives
Funds may be designated to support
scholarships for relatives of BU employees
and for employees not covered by existing
fee waivers. Three possible categories for
funding in 1991 are:
A. Employee children
B. Employee spouses
C. Employees whose credits are not covered by
fee waivers
Option II: BU Undergraduate Students
Funds may be designated to support a
scholarship offered by a specific department,
division, job classification, building, or other
defined group, (i.e., clerical scholarship,
custodial/maintenance scholarship, College
of Arts and Sciences scholarship, Department of Accounting scholarship, or Bakeless
scholarship). A specifically sponsored
scholarship can also be designated for a

students.
As you know, students today have a set of world circumstances and personal choices that are in many ways the
most challenging of any generation. Though the list of concerns is rather lengthy, allow me to enumerate a few.
-According to a 1988 study financed by the Federal Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1 in 500 college students tested positive for the HIV virus that triggers AIDS.
-With the changing demographics of our society, interpersonal tensions are mounting, and on the campus, tensions
between students of different races and backgrounds are erupting into serious conflicts.
-The country's criminal justice experts predict that the combination of drugs, deadly weapons, and demographics
could lead to the bloodiest decade of crime in American history.
What are we doing to prepare and assist our students with these life-changing and life-threatening concerns? I can
number of things we, as a body of faculty and staff members, are doing. First and foremost, we are provid-

and respond to a number of complex issues. We are working to regard each other as individuals, to better understand
one another, and to appreciate the cultural diversity of our community. We are educating students about AIDS. We
have established a Volunteer Services Office and have witnessed an increase in volunteer activities. We are recycling
and are providing programs to help increase environmental awareness. We are exploring new ways to use opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for teaching and learning.
We have done a number of things at Bloomsburg University to help our students, and we will continue to do so.
However, we can do more to improve our effectiveness. We can comnnit and recommit ourselves more fully to the
task before us.
In the book. Campus in Crisis, Buell G. Gallagher comments, "There is no answer to the exigent moment short of a
fundamental reconsideration of educational purpose." What is our purpose? In our university mission statement we
say, "...it is a goal of the university to develop in its students the characteristics of mental resourcefulness and responsible self-expression as well as the abilities to think critically, clarify values, and demonstrate problem-solving skills."
We have certainly identified the tools our students will need for life. The challenge is ours, both faculty and staff, to
equip our students with these special tools - and not one of us can be excused from this task.
I believe students are our most important consideration, and we cannot let meetings, activities, paperwork, or
hidden agendas take us away from, or interfere with our primary purpose. It is our responsibility, yours and mine, to
provide the best teaching/ learning experience possible in order to equip our students.. .both for today and tomorrow.

This fund was created to embrace the Alumni

were added.
For parents who made a gift of $35 or more, a
book was purchased, and the names of both
parents and the student were placed on a bookplate. Over a two-year period, 1,195 volumes
were added to Andiuss Library. The Parents'
Fund is now included in The Trust for Generations, and parents are fulfilling their commitments to Phase I, The Library Fund.

Newly purchased life insurance.
Unitrusts and annuity trusts offer both tax
savings and an annual income stream. Securities and real estate, if owned for more than one
year, offer the best possibilities in avoiding
capital gains taxes. Life insurance policies, on
the other hand, qualify for a tax deduction
through premiums payments. The major
advantage of life insurance, however, is that
creates new wealth or new endowments at a
relatively small annual cost.
it
Present tax laws offer incentives to both current
and potential donors. Some incentives are
immediate tax deductions, adjustments to
capital gains tax, additional spendable income,
and reductions in estate and administrative
taxes. The maximum effect of a planned or
deferred gift can be obtained by the careful
selection of a suitable contribution option that
reflects the size of the desired gift and the tax
benefits sought.
Because of these and other financial benefits
not listed, more generous gifts are possible than
may have been previously thought.

given elsewhere on this sheet.
The Scholarship Fund • The Trust for

of the special $3.5 million Trust campaign.
Thus far, $1.3 million has been received in
cash, pledges, and planned gifts for the

guidance of an ad hoc
advisory committee. Because BU faculty and
staff have diverse interests, two major undergraduate scholarship options were defined.
Option I: BU Family Relatives
Funds may be designated to support
scholarships for relatives of BU employees
and for employees not covered by existing
fee waivers. Three possible categories for
funding in 1991 are:
A. Employee children
B. Employee spouses
C. Employees whose credits are not covered by
fee waivers
Option II: BU Undergraduate Students
Funds may be designated to support a
scholarship offered by a specific department,
division, job classification, building, or other
defined group, (i.e., clerical scholarship,
custodial/maintenance scholarship, College
of Arts and Sciences scholarship, Department of Accounting scholarship, or Bakeless
scholarship). A specifically sponsored
scholarship can also be designated for a

student scholarship funds.

Scholarship awards of $250 or greater are

BU Family scholarship criteria.
Please refer to the more complete description of the BU Family scholarship, including

meets the established criteria. The selection of
recipients will be made by the Financial Aid
Committee.
The scholarships will be awarded in $250
multiples. Any remaining funds, beyond the
$250 multiple, will be held in the designated accounts until after the following year's campaign
at which time they will become part of the new
total to be allocated.
Because students are instructed to apply for
scholarships in January for the fall term, funds
given to Option II will be held, in an interest
bearing account, for awarding in 1992. Funds
