30 years ago
...
It was 1968. Civil rights leader Martin
Luther King Jr. had been assassinated. The
war in Vietnam still raged on.
It was a tumultuous time in the world.
At Bloomsburg State College (not yet a
university), growth was apparent everywhere. Elwell Residence Hall, still the
largest on campus, had just been constructed. President Harvey A. Andruss
wrote an open letter discussing the thin-
stretched lines of communication
on the
quickly growing campus.
The
college applied for an

license to start a 1,000-watt station. In the
music world, the Beatles released The While
Album.

couple, the Bergs, with two sons. They

he's coming home. When Rasmus arrives,
he declares that he is now too educated to
resume his former life and that the Earth
is round! It's up to his younger, less

30 years ago
...
It was 1968. Civil rights leader Martin
Luther King Jr. had been assassinated. The
war in Vietnam still raged on.
It was a tumultuous time in the world.
At Bloomsburg State College (not yet a
university), growth was apparent everywhere. Elwell Residence Hall, still the
largest on campus, had just been constructed. President Harvey A. Andruss
wrote an open letter discussing the thin-
stretched lines of communication
on the
quickly growing campus.
The
college applied for an

music world, the Beatles released The While
