Welcome

to

Bloomsburg University. What a year! Everywhere we

year started with a face-lift for Carver, pipe laying on
College Hill and Second Street, and the groundbreaking for
the new recreation center. Construction will continue on the
upper part of campus as the rec. center works toward
completion for January of 1995 and the new Library construction gets

Around Town
Bloomsburg, the only town in Pennsylvania,

is

small enough to feel like home, but big enough to
have a variety of stores, boutiques, and eateries
for the many college students. As they walk
dowTi the tree lined streets, students come across
a wide range of shops including the Que Pasa
Boutique, which has all the latest fashions; the
Costume Shop, and the Husky Comer Mall
which is complete with a tanning spa, fitness

center,

Our Campus
Bloomsburg University is often referred to as,
"the friendly college on the lull." Located on
College Hill above the "only town in Pennsylvania", B.U. covers 173-acres of the Appalachian foothills of north-central Pennsylvania.
The atmosphere of the campus is created by the

imique blend of historic and modem buildings.
Currently our campus is also going though a
growth spurt. With the addition of a new recreation center and a new library soon to come,
we can only imagine the change that has overcome Bloomsburg University from it's original
start in 1839 as a Commonwealth of Pennsylvarua normal school for the education of teachers.

Winter Wonderland
No

one will forget the winter of 1993-94.
Mother Nature pelted us with a great amount
of snow. Waking up every morning and checking
the local delayed openings and school closings
almost became a ritual. Many faculty, staff, commuters and off-campus students had to start out
their days by shoveling and preparing for a long
trip to campus. For those students already on
campus, extra time had to be made for the journey out into the cold to get to classes.
This year, Bloomsburg started the first condensed schedule to try to help alleviate some of
the stress and strain of continually missing the
same classes over and over. This schedule reorganized the daily calendar to

hours later
and fit all classes in into a shorter time period.
The Town of Bloomsburg covered in a fresh
coat of snow is definitely a beautiful sight, but
now that we've made it through the winter of 80
plus inches let's keep our fingers crossed for a
calm winter next year.

Homecoming
"The World of Animation" was the theme of this year's
homecoming. Students across campus decorated their
residence hall windows to show support of homecoming,
and to compete for prizes. The celebrations started on
Thursday, October 21, with the Bloomsburg Theater Ensemble's production of the comedy 'The Foreigner' at the
Alvina Krause Theater in town.
Kenneth Gross was the marshall for the homecoming
parade, which began at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 23.

Department of Music
"Our students have the advantage of being in a program that is small enough to ensure
they receive personal attention from the faculty to grow musically to their full potential.
I enjoy helping students learn the intricate detail of music." -Stephen Wallace, D.
Ed., Chairperson
Music requires self discipline. Musicians have a responsibility to prepare properly.
They must love what they're doing and be willing to devote countless hours perfecting
their skills.

The Department of Music offers opportunity for creative activity and self-expression
as well as the cultivation of student's talents. Students receive an education that
prepares them for varied professional opportimities.
The bachelor of arts degree in music allows the music major to select one of two
music history-literature or applied music-voice, piano, organ, strings,
or brass. Both areas offer strong preparation in harmony-theory, music
history, ensemble participation and repertoire.
Bachelor of Arts graduates have a variety of vocational opportunities: private teaching, church music, performing groups, composing and arranging, music Ubraries, and
facets of the music industry such as retail, printing and recording.

Department of Anthropology
"Anthropology majors learn about the diversity and breadth of the human experience. They
are exposed to unique opportunities and to a caring and committed faculty. Students learn
about the diversity underlying all culture and come to appreciate people for who they are and
what they do. Anthropology is the most liberating of all sciences. Students have the opportunity for a career where they are constantly involved in new discoveries and increased
cultural understanding."
Robert Reeder, M.S.,M.A., Chairperson
Anthropology promotes global cultural awareness through classroom studies of cultures
everywhere. Anthropology, the study of humankind, attempts to establish useful information
and generalizations about people, their behavior and their cultural and biological origins, in
order to arrive at the fullest possible understanding of human diversity.
At Bloomsburg, anthropology is divided into three areas: cultural anthropology which
studies ways of life in societies across the world; physical anthropology which traces human
origins and biological variability; and archaeology which seeks to explain human behavior by
studying material remains from past cultures.
Study in these three disciplines is interwoven so students come to see the whole picture of
humankind: how humans have evolved, what problems they face, what solutions are possible,
and what the future might hold.

appreciation of great works of art from the past and present, to appreciate the aesthetic and

innovations of any given age, thus gaining an increased awareness of one's artistic

an academic discipline. Studio courses reflect and support this liberal arts purpose as well as
building competence in selected media. Art history courses provide a structure for an
understanding of the arts while developing the ability to research and write.
The art program is consistent with the university's aim to be a center of learning in the arts
and sciences. Through a finely tailored course of study, art students enjoy opportunities for
advanced study and pursue specific career goals, preparing for careers as artists, art historians, museum curators, design and advertising consultants, urban planners, and educators.

College of Business
Department of Accounting
"We need to learn new information management skills and constantly evaluate our
methods if we are to remain competitive. The intent of the program here at Bloomsburg
to prepare our students not just to enter but to contribute to a professional area of
accounting."
Burel Gum, chairperson
"Accounting is the language of business." Approximately 550 undergraduates are
currentiy majoring in accounting, making it one of the most popular programs of study
at the university. Housed in the College of Business, the degree program requires a total
of 63 semester hours
27 semester hours devoted to accounting courses- and
culminates in a bachelor of science in Business Administration.
The program's curriculum is tailored to address the demands confronted by today's
professional accountant. Students learn how to accumulate and summarize information, to anaylze and interpret results, and to present information which often
becomes an important element in the decision-making process.
The program also emphasizes the importance of communication skills, both written
and oral. The successful accountant spends more time working with people than with
nimibers, and more time helping others to reach decisions than tabulating figures.
Accounting is an information system, not a mathematical system.

overwhelming decisions a Bloom-

campus is a project in itself. First, a student must
decipher amongst his or her peers which one(s) will make suitable
roommates. The search for the apartment or house is next. The
lease obligates the tenants to pay the rent and all the "fun" bills,
such as phone, gas, water, electric, and cable. It is quite frustrating

Along with Bloomsburg's diversified academics and enriching
community activites and sports, off campus life adds to one's

life is just one way students learn about real responsibilities and
gain their independence.

Commuter
Any student who lives at least one nule
from the Bloomsburg University campus is a
commuter student. Whether you live down
Main Street or as far away as Williamsport,
Hazelton, Berwick, or Danville the daily commute becomes a vital part of your college
career. Of course, getting to campus is only a
small part of the battle. Once you have gotten
here parking becomes the main problem. This
year, with all of the construction on campus
commuting students have been very cooperative by parking on upper campus and taking the shuttle bus

down

to classes.

With all of the past and present success Coach
Chuck Laudermilch and his team have had, he keeps
the game itself in perspective and puts emphasis on all
aspects of the game v^th his players.
"I want us to be a competitive program," he said.
"But 1 also want to be careful to preserve it. 1 define a
successful college experience as including academic
success, social success, as well as athletic success. I
don't want athletics to be the motor that drives the car.
just want it to be a part of it. I want the women to
enjoy the experience. I try to make it enjoyable and

you have participated in the annual "Into the Streets" volunteer work

sessions. This past Fall

Semester, 631 students logged more than 7,000 hours with our SOLVE office (Students Organized to

Your good actions have touched the lives of many people in the community in very positive ways. In
addition, your initiatives have included the University. This past fall the Community Government
Association donated $75,000 to the Library Construction Campaign as a challenge to the faculty and staff.
I thank you and all the students of Bloomsburg University for this gift. Your generosity is sincerely
appreciated and means a great deal to me.
These are just a few examples of your many good efforts.
What's right with America?
To the question
I answer a resounding PLENTY!
Especially, when you compare the United States with the rest of the world. What's right with America
includes attributes such as, our constitution, the role we have performed in world leadership, the diversity
in our society, and the great American dream.
The list of what's right with America goes on and on; however, in the interest of time I will briefly cite
just a few examples.
In 1949, Senator Arthur Vandenburg said, "We cannot turn back the clock
we cannot sail by old and
easier charts. That has been determined for us by the march of events. We have no choice as to whether
we shall play a great part in the world
we have to play that part. We have to play it in sheer self-defense
of our own interest. All that we can decide is whether we shall play it well or ill."
Forty-five years after Senator Vandenburg made that statement, the record shows that America
superbly played its role.
As stated in the publication. The Vision Shared, "The half-century crusade of free nations to champion
freedom and civilization against the scourge of totalitarianism was victorious because of the leadership
and relentless dedication of America. The fall of the Berlin wall symbolized an epochal change in the way
millions of people live and in the way those people think. A democratically elected Russian president sits
in the Kremlin. Ukrane, Armenia, and the Baltic states take their rightful place among the family of
nations. Israel and all of its Arab neighbors talk face to face for the first time. Nicaragua and Panama
celebrate democracy. America led the free world to this great triumph."
"With this victory for freedom we have begun a new and promising chapter in the epic of America and
our role in the new world order."
Austin Kiplinger, the publisher of the Kiplinger Washington Newsletter, recently said, "With regard to
higher education, America is leading the way in developing new educational models that will meet the
needs of new populations and new times. Forty percent of the world's basic research is done in American
laboratories, principally at universities. United States' colleges and universities grant one million baccalaureate degrees and 1.5 million associate degrees every year, more than are granted in any other nation
in the world."
In agriculture, with three-tenths of one percent of the world's farm labor force, the United States'
farmers produce the major portion of the world's food and fiber. That translates into your home budget in
that the percentage of income spent by families on food in the United States is much less than other

—

—

—

—

countries.

—

the
Data recently reported by the press and available from the United States Bureau of Census
Federal government's gatherer of statistics
shows that Americans have plenty to cheer about. Very
quickly I'U share with you five brief examples:
-"We are healthier. The death rates from causes such as heart disease, automobile and on-the-job
accidents have dropped significantly over the past 20 years. At the same time life expectancy for the
average American has increased from 71 to 76 years."
-"Our environment is cleaner."
-"Talk of the disintegrating American family is just that. A surprising 73% of all children under the age
of 18 still live with both parents."
-"Americans dominate the world in science. Between 1976 and 1991, U.S. scientists won 63 out of a
possible 102 Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, Physics, and Medicine. The closest runners-up, Germany and

—

garnered nine each."
-"Americans are generous with their time and money. In 1989, 38 million people
population
pitched in to do volunteer work."

good news continues regarding the future.

Marvin Cetron, author of numerous books about the future, recently prepared a new report listing 74
trends and forecasts affecting the United States. Based on these trends, he anticipates a "renaissance" for America in
the years ahead. Though he views himself as a realist, Cetron says that his findings make him very optimistic about
Forecaster

the future.

America has been and still is the land of opportunity. From the early times of our nation to the present day, millions
of Americans have attained success by working hard, working smart, and exercising self-discipline. In an article,
published in the April 8th issue of USA Today, Senator George Mitchell, majority leader of the U.S. Senate, was
beyond the Senate, beyond politics, even
described as follows: "One of George Mitchell's greatest pleasures
was to preside over citizenship ceremonies as a federal judge. At one of these ceremonies
beyond sports
a young man explained he had immigrated because 'here in America, everyone has a

Warren Rudman. 'It's the great American dream story.'"
Several years ago I had the privilege of hearing Alex Haley present the keynote address at a national meeting.
Mr. Haley, who touched the heart of a nation with his book Roots said, "It took twelve years to write Roots... to
understand what those stories meant that I had heard as a boy on my grandma's front porch. I dug and dug and kept
trying to find a way to use all of the research. I was broke, down to 18 cents and 2 cans of sardines." Dr. Lamar
Alexander, former President of the University of Tennessee, former Governor of Tennessee and former U.S. Secretary
of Education said, "As Secretary of Education, I found opportvmities almost every day to pass along Alex's lessons.
Sometimes I would produce for students a typed page of Alex's Roots manuscript, almost obscured by green ink
corrections, and tell them what he told me: 'Some of those chapters I rewrote 15 times, 20 times, 25 times. I wanted it
to be right.'" Lamar Alexander continued, my friend Alex Haley used to say, 'Find good and praise it.' He especially
liked to say that to people who were busy finding everything wrong with America. It was a powerful message coming
from the grandson of slaves, from the man who wrote Roots and The Biography of Malcom X."
Dr Alexander said, "I used to think about it every time Alex told the story about John Newton, the slave trader, and
how he saw the Ught and wrote one of the world's greatest hymns, 'Amazing Grace.'
"I thought about it at the time an African flute played the melody of that great hymn and we buried Alex Haley
next to the front porch where his grandma and great aunts first told him the stories that became Roots.
"Then, on the piano," Dr. Alexander said, "I played 'Amazing Grace'."
I am proud of you and I am proud of America.
I wish you, the Class of 1994, the very best in all that you do. I am confident that, if you apply determination and
perseverence to what you know and what you do, you will find the success and happiness you seek. You will find the
great American dream.
In closing
I want to share with you one of my favorite stories. It is about a person by the name of Jeremiah
O'Brien. Jeremiah
would be my kind of person. He lived in Maine, and in 1775, rallied the people of his town to
deny the British the lumber they needed for their troops in Boston. He led a group of townspeople in the fortification
of a sloop which he then used to pursue the British Man of War, The Margaretta. Meeting her broadsides with musket
fire, he lashed his sloop to The Margarette. He led his men aboard armed with pitch forks and axes. He and his crew
of 35 farmers had battled for an hour and, when it was over, he had won.
I can't help myself but marvel at the courage of that kind of a person
but what makes it even more impressive
and important to me is the fact that Jeremiah wasn't a regular member of any armed force. He was a citizen
who
saw something that had to be done
and he did it!
That trait is one that has always marked America. The citizen, seeing a job to be done and doing it. I don't mirumize
the problems that face us as a nation,
but
I am confident in the future of America because I believe the spirit of
humble

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! *Dr.
I definitely need a spell checker! You should buy stock in those little yellow post-it notes, we've got another year of this.
Thank you for everything you have done. *Mrs. Buch'er, Cyrenna, Linda and the Community Activities office- Thanks! *EdWhat day and time were we supposed to meet? Thanks for everything! *Mark- Without you the Senior section may never have
gotten done and our printer still wouldn't be connected. Thanks! *Andrea- AKA "President of the B&M Club". So, when's the next
meeting? *Lori- Are you ready to take this thing over in '96? You'd better be, you don't have much of a choice. *Kclli- You kept me
sane! Photography, ads, copy- whatever it took, you were there. Thanks! "You are my Kelli, Kelli, Kelli. ." •Moiuque- Without
your help we never would have made our first deadline. I know you don't think you did that much but I couldn't have done it
without your help. *Ralph! * Beth and Stacy- Thanks for all your last minute help. *Ron and Chris- Thanks for the photography
help. *Chri8 and the St. Lawrence bunch- say cheese! *Mom, Dad, Dee, and Jen- Thanks for listening to all my pre-deadline stress
**Love, Lynda
and post-deadline complaints. I really do love doing this.
