Toczek disillusioned

Rep assembly a sham?

meeting last Tuesday.

The first meeting of the
newly-formed Representative
Assembly was held last
Tuesday, March 23, in the
Multipurpose Room of the
Union at 3:30 p.m. The highlight
of the meeting ironically turned
out to be a lengthy discussion on
whether or not smoking should
be permitted during the course
of the meetings.
The major event occurred
when chairperson , William
Acierno, received a motion
from Michael Gaynor, a
representative
of
the
Psychology Department to ban
smoking
during
further
meetings of the assembly. The
motion was voted on by those
present and the restriction was
put into effect.
The matter was reopened
when Robert Ross, of the
Economics
Department ,

suggested that a study be done
to determine whether the
smoking members could perform effectively without the
privilege. For his active interest Mr. Ross was appointed
chairperson of a special committee to investigate smoking.
His report is due at the next
meeting scheduled for April 13
at 3:30 p.m., in Carver Hall
Auditorium .
The meeting opened with
greetings given by representatives of the various constituencies. Among them was
President James McCormick
who spoke of the importance of
collegiality. McCormick stated,
"The Representative Assembly
provides a vehicle for the
collegial approach."
Stan Toczek, CGA president,
also welcomed the new
organization asserting, "Even
though students are not
proportionately represented,
they are in favor of the
assembly."
Jerrold
Griff is,
Vice
President of Student Life, then
gave his report concerning
nominations and elections. He
said that those who wished to
make a nomination had to have
beforehand consulted their
prospective nominee. This
caused a discrepancy among
the students because they were
unaware of the ruling and

therefore were not permitted to
engage in the election process.
Chairperson Acierno, after
being approached by students
at a later date with complaints,
allegedly nullified the results of
the election and scheduled
another to be held at the next
meeting.
Dayton
Pickett ,
Vice
President of Academic Affairs,
addressed the assembly 'on
behalf of the rules and
procedures committee. He
explained how many are only
holding interim appointments
and that the only bonafide
members are those elected as
representatives of the constituencies and those appointed
as a result of their professional
standing at the college. Student
members have been elected
only for the remainder of the
year with elections taking place
again in September and once
each year thereafter.
The meeting was concluded
with a discussion of meeting
places and times; On Tuesday
April 13 at the next meeting a
vote will be taken on whether
the meetings should be held in
the Mul tipurpose Room or
Carver Hall ( the historic
meeting place at BSC) . The
third and last meeting for the
schoolterm will take place May
4 at 3:30, at whichever site is
agreed on at the next meeting.

by JOE SYLVESTER
"It's too early to guess who
will be the presidential nominee
for the Democratic party. It's
like trying to call a basketball
game after the first five
minutes". That is how Senator
George McGovern (S-S.D.)
described the democratic
presidential campaign at a
press conference held previous
to his speech on Thursday night
in Haas.
The conference, held in the
Green
Room
of
Haas
auditorium, centered primarily
around the campaign and
politics in general.
On the campaign, Senator
McGovern , in responding to
questions from reporters ,
stated first of all that he is not a
candidate for president. Rep.
Morris Udall (D-Arizona) is the
candidate he supports because
Udall's views are closest to his.
Seantor McGovern went on to
say both parties are "in trouble
with the electorate" and as far
as the Democrats are concerned , "many candidates
make it difficult to make a
united stand".
When asked if he would ever
run again , McGovern disclosed
that he wouldn't rule out running again ; it depends partly on
what happens in '76. The
Senator was then asked if he
would want to be VicePresident. He remarked that he
would rather be a senator
because he wants to "say what
he thinks without clearing it
with anyone." However if it
made the difference between
winning and losing, he would.
In answering questions on the
economy, Senator McGovern
indicated that it is improving
but not at an adequate pace. He
added that President Ford is illadvised and that his "trickle
down theory" doesn't work very
well. .
Seantor McGovern, in answering questions about politics

in general, stated :
that the United States was
never designated as the
policeman of the world - we selfappointed ourselves to this
position.
that , it's a cheap shot for
candidates to imply they're
against the government.
that politics isn't anymore as
hazardous in losing moral
standards than any other field.
that we must follow a more or
less even handed approach in
the Middle East
that Scranton appointment to
the U.N. was a good one
and that it would be surprising if government people
were involved in the JFK
assassination but not if Oswald
was involved in a conspiracy .

Too early to tell

McGovern talks politics
by BILL TROXELL
Senator George McGovern
was the main attraction last
Thursday as he delivered a
speech to a capacity crowd in
the Haas Auditorium. The well
known Senator from South
Dakota began by talking about
the 1972 Presidential election.
Other contents of his speech
ranged from his political
theories to the 1976 elections.
"I was fully confident that the
ideas we advanced in that
campaign , as well as the
procedures that we used, will
one day be recognized
favorably by the American
people, " said McGovern when
speaking about his campaign.
He feels that although he lost in
numbers, his campaign will be
treated kindly by history
because of his "grass roots,
fully open campaign style".
"We made some mistakes, no
one regrets that more than I,
and I take full responsibility for
any tactical errors that were
made. It is one thing to make
some honest mistakes, but it is
quite different to deceive the
American people,,...we didn 't
do that , and I'm very proud,"
proclaimed the Senator. He
attempted to make the fact
perfectly clear that his campaign was 100 percent honest as
compared to Mr. Nixon's.
McGovern spoke on how he
feels political campaigns should
be run . "The political campaign
should be built on the hands and
the hearts and the dollars of
ordinary, rank and file
Americans," said McGovern
when airing his thoughts for
campaign support. He believes
that the campaign for President
should be run by ordinary

people from the financial aspect
to the platform designing. One
of his major points was honesty.
He insisted that openness and
honesty should be the most
important factor in a campaign.
Secondly, McGovern spoke on
his belief in peace rather than
militarism. "I would have
never run for the Presidency if
it had not been for my revulsion
against the war in Indochina."
He declosed that the war was
the most unfortunate chapter in
American Foreign policy. He
considered it to be his campaign
which pressured the government and Mr. Nixon into ending
the war. McGovern pointed out
that the foreign policy of Mr.
Nixon was irrational.
The Senator also spoke on
economic justice with regard to
tax reform. He felt that he took
a chance during his campaign
by speaking of tax reform , but
he still feels that it is necessary
to treat the American public
fairly.
With this, the subject changed
to the present political scene.
McGovern
claimed 'that
everyone seems to want to
attack the American government with its bureaucries. "For
23 years I have loved the
practice of politics ,", said
McGovern. He stated that he
likes the system and to work
within it. He cited that it is
necessary
even
though
sometimes it can create
problems.
The Senator spoke of how
George Wallace and Ronald
Reagan seem to be campaigning with the impression of
"anti-politics", "if they don't
like it, let them resign from
politics altogether , " empha

sized McGovern.
The Senator then spoke on
President Ford. He said, "I like
Mr. Ford, I have worked with
him in congress for quite a few
years, but I'm puzzled at the
constant onslaught of the
President against the Congress
of the United States." He held
that President Ford has over
used his vetd power.
The Senator gave example to
this by referring to a bill that
Ford vetoed because he thought
it was inflationary. The bill was
for Health care, and would have
cost 250 million. The same week
the President signed a bill to
increase the military budget by
10 billion dollars. McGovern
feels that the budget should not
be based on the overall total
cost, but to how this money is
allocated. He would like to see
the budget shifted from the
military area to the human need
area .
After the speech, a short
question and answer period was
held. McGovern was asked who
he will support in the 1976
campaign. He did not voice a
definite answer but he said that
he will go with either Udall or
Church.
He believes that Jimmy
Carter is a nice guy and a very
honest person , but he doesn't
seem to want to tell the public
what his actions will be on many
of the important topics.
McGovern feels that this is very
important. He also believes that
Udall and Church have the
same political theory as him.
The large crowd seemed to
have enjoyed McGoverns
somewhat humorous speech
and gave him a good applause
with a standing ovation.

Let's not blow it

Student as token
At long last, the students at
this college have some type of
legal service available to them
for no charge. Last Tuesday
night was the first in a series of
four week sessions in which
students can meet with a lawyer
for legal advice.
Tom James , not of the
Shondells as many may have
thought, but a lawyer in a firm
downtown was on the campus
for three hours consulting with
several students on problems
germain to their specific interest.
Although only eight or ten
students showed up at the
general session conducted by
James , and eight students
consulted with him privately
the range of problems and areas
of interest proved to be of a wide
variety.
Housing seems to be the
major area of legal interest to
students, however this was not
the only item with which the
lawyer dealt or can deal.
Criminal law , tax law ,
residency requirements and
patent law were also problems
which appeared.

The most cliche phrase in the world concerning college
campuses is "student apathy" . What is the actual basis for
this supposed apathy? Simply, it is the knowledge that if a
student does become involved in some committee or other
it will be a token position and will add up to wasted time.
This is unfortunatel y true and students are notably reluctant to sign up for committees through C.G.A. So, what
of student representation? If C.G.A. President Stan Toczek
does not personally heed the call for student input on committees , then there usuall y is none at all.
Toczek related, "I attend many meetings each week in
which faculty, administration and non-instructional personnel are present. I sometimes evaluate my input into
committee discussions and often find that I am just filling a
vacant seat. There are 5 ,000 students on this campus
and only 30O faculty and many meetings are lopsided because there are more faculty members than students
present. I feel students should have proportionate representation as faculty , administration and non-instructional
personnel. "
This observation piognarmy indicates the reason for
student apathy —student input at best is tokenism.
A new organization was born last week which has been
named (or, more accurately, misnomered) The Represent'United
ative Assembly. This is ideally comparable to the
is
"
in
supposedly
that
each
faction
of
the
campus
Nations
represented to air their views on various matters. (See
news story on page one)
Great ! We direly need this; but the students are -substantially outnumbered by the faculty and administrative
factions. In order to truly represent the college community ,
the students should be represented proportionall y in terms
of the rest of the Assembly.
The saddest part of all this is that the students presently
involved in the Representative Assembly will become
disillusioned by their miniscule voice. And the Assembly
will be just another activity to go down on their college
records as "involved students ".
Barb Wanchisen

It is important to understand
that the lawyer can deal with
many problems, not only those
where students feel they are
facing impending doom. Even if
you feel like you might have a
problem where legal consequences might be involved
but you're not sure you could
come and talk to Tom James.
He's not just there for the
purpose of seeing if you can sue
somebody, or if somebody can
sue you.
Many students have been
very blatent in emphasizing the
need for a lawyer , either fulltime or on retainer. Here is a
chance to show your interest.
One almost gets sick of
belaboring the point, but it is so
important, for all of use, that to
let an opportunity such as the
one CGA is providing right now
slide by is almost unthinkable.
This series of advisory
meetings with James is the
means by which CGA is going to
ascertain the need for a lawyer.
The only way we're going .to
get a lawyer is if we step right
up and let CGA and the administration know our ap-

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ?

proval. 428 students and faculty
on the campus voted almost the
entire Student Voters United
ticket into power for next year.
One of their primary platform
proposals was to hire a full-time
lawyer for students, so there
must be more than ten students
here that feel we need a lawyer.
If only a few people come to
these sessions with James, the
whole idea of a lawyer will fall
by the wayside and be buried
under a mass of less important
items.
SVU made the proposal, we
elected them , so it should f ollow
that we must hold them to their
platform.
The sessions with James are
currently being held in an office
on the second floor of Kehr
Union next to the Campus Voice
office. They run 15 minutes a
piece, for private consultation
from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday

Dear Editor ,
I*would like to bring to the
attention of all BSC members
the problems involved in
dealing with the Financial Aid
Office.
I am only concerned with the
part Financial Aid plays in
making ou., pay cards for those
employed on campus and paid
by the state. It . is quite
frustrating to apply for your
pay card and find that after 2
weeks it still has hot been sent
to you or your employer. It
seems the person or persons
involved in doing the pay cards
likes to wait until there are
many cards to do. Now it takes 3
or 4 weeks to be paid once your
card is sent so every day counts.
In my own personal experience
I have been forced to wait long
periods of time, much longer
than needed m receiving my
pay card. If a person is working
it is common sense that, they
need the money. The Financial
Aid Office hinders payment of
individuals by not getting their
pay cards out to them in a
reasonable amount of time. I
ask you, is it too much trouble
for the persons ,involved in pay
cards to do them more often? I
feel the people being forced to
wait are being ripped-off. I
personally need the money I
work for and find it most annoying to wait added weeks to
receive it because some people
are not doing their jobs
correctly. I hope this letter will
open the tyes of certain office
personnel. Thank you.
Frustrated and Broke

To the Editor:

When our Founding Fathers
wrote the First Amendment to
the Constitution : "Congress
shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise
thereof;" they were trying* by
keeping government neutral
between religious sects, to save
us from the religious civil wars
which tore England and
Ireland r (and most of Europe),
apart in the 1600's, and which
are tearing Northern Ireland,
Lebanon, Pakistan, and other
countries apart today.
On the other hand, there were
no massive public school
systems or taxpayer supported
colleges in 1791, as there are
today, when citizens of very
deep religious convictions, such
as Fundamentalists, Catholics,
Orthodox Jews, etc., find that
the "free exercise" of their own
religions , (in which God
demands a very extensive, and,
therefore, expensive, religious
education of their own
children) , is effectively
"prohibited", because the high
taxes needed to finance the
public schools and colleges
don't leave them with enough
money, (economic freedom), to
support their own ' schools,
required by~ their religions.
I am sure that if Jefferson ,
(who was also the founder of
public education in America),
were alive today and could see
what a monstrous, multi-billion
dollar failure the public school
and college system is, in getting
children to be able to read,

(even comic books , or to write
intelligibly, or to calculate, or
reason logically, or to develop
any moral values, he would be
the severest critic of his brainchild , and he would be
proposing an alternative to
make it possible for all parents,
(not just the deeply religious
ones), who want their children
to enjoy learning, to have the
freedom , (money) , to set up
their own private, (accredited),
academies, by doing away with
the biggest example of
Socialism.in this Country; the
failure-ridden, strike-ridden,
government . owned
and
operated schools and colleges.
(We have as high a percent of
Socialism as the British
because we have a much higher
percent of our population
working for the Government in
Education.)
Over 25 years ago, Milton
(Goldwater 's
Friedman ,
Economic Advisor), came up
with what I am convinced would
be Jefferson's solution to the 4
problems of how to continue to
offer educational opportunity
for everyone and still raise the
quality of that education ; and
how to keep government out of
religion without causing the
death of certain religions.

That Friedman-Jefferson
solution, of course, is called the
"Voucher System," or "GI Bill
for Everyone," under which
government
owned
and
operated schools and colleges,
supported by State and local
taxes would be done away with,

along with all State and local
taxes for education. Instead of
paying local, regressive, school
taxes on real estate, and paying
regressive State sales taxes to
finance education , parents
would pay, (probably a lesser;
total amount), in progressive
income taxes to the Federal.
Government, and, then, receive;
back, from the IRS, a
"voucher," (an Education
Stamp, like a Food Stamp) ,
worth around $2,000-year for
parents with an average income
of $12,000, ($3,000 if family income is less than $6,000-year;
only $1,000 if income $20,000year and up) , for each school
and college aged child listed on
their Income Tax return. The
Fundamentalist, Catholic, or
Jewish parent, who believes his
child should have a religious
education, would men have the

economic freedom, (money), to
pay tuition to a religious school,
just , as the Veteran has the
freedom to spend his GI Bill
"voucher" on a religious
college, if he wants to.
I would welcome an opportunity to debate the many
other merits of this system over
the public school and college
system; particularly before
groups of public school
teachers. I f e e l so strongly
about the need for the Voucher
system that I am willing to
antagonize the large number of
local opinion makers employed
by the public schools and
colleges, and, thereby, possibly
destroy what little chance T may
have had for election as
Representative.

Thoughts f o r Lent

"Something of value "

by JAY ROCHELLE
In Lent I often think of
Nietzsche. Probably seems a
bizarre combination but it's
true. I think of Nietzsche's
brilliance, a candle burning too
quickly, and I think of his
madness at the end. I think of
Nietzsche, I think of me,.and I
reflect on meaning.
One searches in this bastion of
higher education, possibly, for
linchpins: those concepts and
dreams and ideas which hold
the whole of life together. None
appears. Strange juxtapositions
occur: in the midst of this
academic enterprise with its
supposed premium on thought
and reflection, religions florish
which are based on fear, antiintellectualism, and a search
for nailed-down security. How
does one hold these two enterprises together? What
meaning does one shed upon the
other?
Nietzsche is a model for what
life has become in many ways;
he himself said it: "My time is
not yet ; only the day after
tomorrow belongs to me"
(ECCE HOMO, p. 55;. Nietzsche apparently crumbled
under two pressures : on one
hand he never received' the
support his wild 'genius needed
to continue flourishing and was
forced to support his own ego,
which led to dissipation ; on the
other hand, he moved so far
outside the symbols of his day
that most folk could not identify
with his visions. In short ,
nobody knew .what the hell he

was talking about .
If any of this rings any bells
among thoughtful , serious
students of BSC, it might be
because the day after tomorrow
has come. There is very little
way left to communicate
mystery.
The boundaries for this and
most other colleges have to do
with what can be measured ,
manipulated , mastered, and
monitored by the human mind.
We've been seduced by this
viewpoint to the place where it
appears that's all there is. But
threats to this rationalistic
boredom pop up: TM ,
astrology, perhaps drugs — all
ways to enter a level of mystery
beyond the calculable. All
threatenbing to a lot of people
who like the system the way it
is.

Nietzsche was beyond that
constricted circle of reasoning.
So, tod, were Francis of Assisi,
Martin Luther, Staretz Silouan ,
George Fox, to name a few.
Nietzsche differs from these in
one respect: he rejected the
symbols they lived with and
never found another way of
adequately . expressing the
scream and the laugh at the
bottom of his soul.
So in Lent I often think of
Nietzsche and me, and wonder
how (again ) to keep on reinvesting those old symbols I
take as the base of my existence
with the meaning that makes
sense in this environment, But
just to add the twist of lemon to
this otherwise already dry

toast , let me remind that the
difference is this : when Nietzsche spoke, when he went
outside the Christian models to
express himself no one understood him. Today when one
goes inside the Christian
models, you run the risk of
being considered the same kind
of lunatic that Nietzsche wound
up.
i Skoal! To mystery, not just
imastery.

Who do you think will win the presidential race in '76? Why?

Manny Santayana — I don 't
know who will win because I
presently have no rea l interest
in politics. Politics bore me.
Although I realize that I should
be concerned because it does
affect my life.

Mary Anne Kovick — I think
Ford will win, because the
American people have regained
confidence
with
the
strengthening economy and the
better outlook in unemployment.

Nicholas Miniuk — I think it
will be a democratic candidate
but, I frankly don't know who'll
be nominated in that circus,
may be Hubert Humphrey will
fool everyone.

John Veneski — Ford-The
power of an incumbant
president is immense. With the
democratic party in dissarray
at the present time, Ford looks
like he will be re-elected.

Joan Brown — Ford because he
did a good job concerning New
York City. Considering how he
acquired the position of
president and the job he has
done so far , I believe it worthwhile for him to continue on
with the presidency.

Howard Blanck — I think
Jimmy Carter will eventually
be president. Because of personal danger to Ford and
Reagen will not have enough
popular support.

Jain Freidel — President Ford
will win. With the resources he
has as the incumbent President,
he has a great advantage.

Judy Thompson — I really can't
say yet, since I don't know
enough about every candidate.
Before I come to a decision, I'd
like to know in depth the candidate's viewpoints and the type
of man he is.

Ron Isherwood — In 1976 the
American public is faced with
an extremely difficult decision.
Only in the last few months
people have begun to take the
election seriously. I'm sorry to
admit that I along with a large
number of Americans are
rather apathetic towards this
election. President Ford will
probably win, due to the fact
that he is quite harmless. The
only person, if elected, that
would really upset me would be
George Wallace.

Opportunity — the clear cut chance for students to express their
views on current issues, is what all systems are gearing up for,

be staged at B.S.C. on April 9-10. B.S.C. official s sight this as the
one of two of its kind east of the Mississippi River being staged
by college students.
If you were present to hear Senator George McGovern speak on
March 25, you would have been able to sense the building emotion
of what shoul d be the most exciting event to hit B.S.C.'S CAMPUS.
All activities officially began on March 25, following McGovern 's
pre-convention address. However , on Friday, April 9th, the convention will open at 7:00 p.m. in Centennial Gymnasium , with a
welcoming address by the Secretary of Education , John C. Pittenser.
Following will be a bi-centennial address which will be given by
Senator Lowell Weicker of Connecticut. The keynote speaker will

Serving on campaign staffs for J.F.K. and R.F.K. as well as
McGovern 's, he was elected delegate to the Constitutional Convention of '67. Percy has been responsible for a number of national
figures who have been brought to BSO for the conventions.
Percy noted that this convention will have a touch of flavor by
having a republican speaking in order to add some "bicentennial
flavor" on the nat ions 200th birthday.
The purpose of the convention will be to give students a key
chance to express views on prevailing issues, and also to nominate
who they feel are beat qualified to campaign on the democratic
ticket for president and vice president.

This convention will seat 1,493 delegates and will be covered by
all stages of the media . Students of BSC compose the steering
committee responsible for the organ ization, planning, and
management of all convention programs.
A platform committee will be made up of one delegate from each
of the 50 states and territories. They have the chore of writing a
party platform from which the candidates for president and vicepresiden t will campaign. Planks for the platform will include:
crime, law enforcement , and civil rights: economical and environmental policy, national defense and foreign affairs, human
dignity - a)women b)blacks c)American Indians d) Mexican
Americans and e) Puerto Ricans. Educational Policy will also be
included.
Final decisions on the platforms composition is made by a
majority vote of the entire convention , which has the power to
change any plank.
Signs posted around campus for campaign managers appealed to
those people who would work to enroll students in state and
territorial delegations who will vote for the managers candidate.
Also included is the arrangement for nominating and seconding ol
their candidates , along with organization of a demonstration for
that person.
Pierce Atwater , a jun ior from Lan caster majoring in political
science , will serve as the student chairman of the mock convention.
You have just been exposed to basic facts and lengthy information concerning the convention. However, the anticipation
and excitement in awaiting the arrival of the convention cannot be
imprinted on anyone by just fact and information. April 9th and
10th have been set aside for a very prestigious even t that
recognizes Bloomsburg as the sight for one of only two conventions
in the east.
Delegates from colleges and high schools over most of Pennsylvania and from surrounding states will be participating in the
upcoming mock convention .
If there was ever one weekend that might encourage you to stay
oh campus, it should indeed be this one. Don't miss it - see you
there.

Color Means Nothing
by VICKIE MEARS
Marcia Marcus , artist in
residence for three days last
week, gave a slide presentation
Tuesday night, March 23. She
explained the circumstances of
how she came to draw some of
the paintings that are on display
in the Haas Art Gallery. Marcus
showed the steps she went
through to paint a scene in the
forest, as well as a portrait of
one of her friends. She starts
with a charcoal sketch and then
doodles with the oil paint until
she gets the colors that "feel"
right to her.
Most of the paintings deal
with a background of one scene
and then a portrait of a friend or
acquaintance in the foreground.
In several paintings the
background scene deals with
Roman or Greek settings of
statues or old ruins and then a
selfportrait of Marcia Marcus

looking out of the painting
toward the viewers. As you can
imagine, this is quite an unusual
effect. Another painting deals
with a scene of an Indian tribe
going about their daily tasks
with a painting of a friend
standing in the center. Though
the scene is very small, her
friend takes up a large portion
of the canvas.
You will notice in Marcus'
paintings tha t most of the people
have a gray tone color with only
very subtle shadings giving a
flatness to the person, rather
than a three dimensional affect.
Marcus said that many people
seem bothered by that but "it
doesn't bother me obviously
because I paint that way."
Marcus went on to say that she
doesn't deal with color or
shading on the superficial level
of painting what's in front of

her ; she paints what she feels.
With people, or with objects,
she tries to get to the essence.
That's why, in most of her
paintings, Marcus uses color
very sparingly : "color doesn't
mean anything to me."
However, it is very noticeable
when Marcia does use color
because in those paintings the
color is blatant. One example is
a picture of a bunch of pink
roses in a mustard yellow vase
and a mirror with Marcia
Marcus ' face peering out
hanging on a stark red wall.
This is much in contrast with
the face of John F. Kennedy, in
all gray tones, taking up the
whole surface of the canvas.
Marcus stressed the fact that
she searches for neutrality in
relation to colors except for a
definite reason to use a specific
color.
She was asked if she liked
painting herself. Laughing,
Marcus said, "Obviously I do
because I'm in alot of my
paintings. But, it is a natural
thing to do". Marcus gets a kick
out of selfpainting and says she
is always surprised by the
results. As in all her paintings ,
she doesn 't try to reach a
certain goal, she just paints.
She stated that when people
pose for her, she never tells
them what to do but rather lets
them go into a natural position
because she feels that this is the
best way to catch the essence of
that person.

Marcia Marcus is pictured with two of her paintings now
on display in Haas Gallery. You'll find her paintings to be
new and unique, (photo by Zebley)

Marcia Marcus, the mother of
two girls, has been traveling off
and on since 1972. She has an
apartment in New York where
she and her children live. Her
next stop is at Purdue where she
will stay for two weeks to teach
art classes by showing the
stages of her art work while
painting a picture. She will
leave that picture at Purdue as
a gift .

Talk Abo ut Winners

by BARB HAGAN
There's a winning team at
BSC that really has something
to speak about !
The BSC Forensics team is a
team that just doesn't quit.
Under the direction of Dr.
Harry Strine they have been to
New Jersey, Maryland, New
York, Pa., and Ohio. In the 10
tournaments they have competed in they have acquired
oyer 30 trophies, only once did
they come back empty-handed.
"Forensics is open to anyone
who wants to improve their
ability to communicate," noted
Dr. Strine. He further feels his
25-30 member team is tops but
he would like to enlarge the
group.
Forensics consists of two
main areas. First is debate
which is on National Collegiate
topics, the second is individuals .
Individuals involves several
types of speaking such ., as
persuasive, informative, after
dinner
speaking,
extemporaneous, impromptu, oral
interpretation of prose and
poetry, and a new one dramaticduo scene.
The success of the Forensics
team can partially be credited
to past directors Richard
Alderfer and Erich Frohman.
Dr. Strine feels he and the team

have personally benefited from
these men. Also to be mentioned
as vital to the team are the
coaches Professor Janis Youse,
Professor Richard Alderfer ,
Erich Frohman , Virginia
Doerflinger , and grad assistant
Karen Welker, Chairman Dr.
Melville Hopkins has also
always given the Forensics
team 100 per cent support.
Without these people the team
would be in need as they are
tremendous assets.
When asked why the team has
done so well, Dr. Strine stated,
"One of the reasons we do so
well is because it's a group that
works together. There really
are no super stars as cuch — all
are equal."
BSC's Forensics team will be
attending the National Individuals Championship in
Speaking, which will be held in
Los Angeles. The tournament is
from April 22-25. There will be
ten people who are eligible to
attend. In order to qualify, one
must place in the top 5 in a
tournament. Those qualifying to
be in Nationals are Anne Otto,
Regina Wild, Denise Reed, Jeff
Hunsicker, Regina Zopetti , Gert
McGoff , Sue Waters , Neil
Hilkert, Cathy Steighner, and
Kim Dilliplane.
The one team member who

has won the most awards is
Anne Otto. Others to be mentioned as very good are Regina
Wild and Jeff Hunsicker. Strine
said it was hard to determine
the best because everyone on
the team has produced.
In the past few weeks the
team has participated in
several tournaments. In each
tournament there are about 100
students participating from 20
or more schools. BSC came in
3rd out of 25 schools participating at Shippensburg. Just
this past weekend the
Provincial Tournament was
held. This consists of the schools
in our province, which happens
to be the smallest. The Ntional
Honorary Forensics Tournament will be held next year in
Seattle, Washington rather than
having the small provincial
tournaments. The small
tournaments are held in the
years when the National
tournaments are not held. In 5
out of 6 events held in the
provincial touranments, we had
someone going into finals,
So if your looking to join a
winning team go to see Dr.
Strine
and
participate.
Remember if you 're interested
in speaking, Forensics has a
place for you.

Fighting the "-isms."
by GENE WALTERS
The A.W.S. of B.S.C, in
conjunction with the Third
World
Cultural
Society
presented a lecture by Mrs.
Jane Galvin-Lewis, one of the
nations' leading feminists, on
March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Kehr Union.
Ms. Galvin-Lewis specializes
in eliminating the problems of
sexism and racism, as well as
advocating affirmative action ,
assertiveness training, and the
problems of child abuse.
Ms. GElvin-Lewis stated that
racism , and sexism are
"casual" factors of most
societal problems, which can
properl y be avoided by
education. Education has a
responsibility to reinforce our
values. Oppression , and
superiority embodied in the
little "isms," projects inferiority upon the group. It is
important to see the following
linkages which exist in sexism,
and racism according to Mrs.
Calvin-Lewis.
1. Most societies practice
racism.
2. Civil rights, and the New
Left causes have a duty to
reform .
3. We must attack race - sexism, for inaction allows group
oppression.
4. We must question why
there must be prestige by
degrading means.
Oppressed groups acquire a
societal "mind-set" as servants, subordinates, and objects of prejudice. In the mindset, we find ourselves "defined "
by others, when we deviate
from the so-called norm. A selfdefinition in itself , is a luxury
item , but instead, it should be
reality. Reality which allows us
to "be" ourselves.
Another problem in the area
of race and sex-ism is the
weakness of the double standards which tend to dominate
our waking lives. For instance,
in child care. No mother should
fear to leave her child alone —
to an extent that she becomes
afraid to put the kid in a child
care center. Ms, Galvin-Lewfn
asked why relationship« are
preconceived and assumption/*
(often false) are made in our
normative social contacts
Society needs newer and
better tools to fight the
numerous "isms." Mn , (lulvUt
Lewis pointed out that though
the Constitution is amended , it
is still rooted In eonHervntlrwi ,
Likewise, ChrfHlinnfty dfulorln
liberty and other penmwi l
values.

Race and sex-ism in the 70 s
has become institutionalized
where-by, historic use becomes
a function of the system ; and
neutrality on issues, an aid to
the institutional system. The
numerous stereotypes which
she exposed, that comprise
oppression are the following.
1. It is "always" under the
surface.
2. It remains unchanged
through time.
3. It has adapted itself to
appropriate historical eras and
trends. Such as the 40's — when
equality had to "be earned," to
the 50's and 60's when conformity , behavior alteration
and modification were stressed,
as well as production.
In the 70 s, we must avoid our
over-patronization and quit
playing on the subleties of
faddish oppression syndromes.
Strive to shun doublestandards. Such as by
systematic exploitation in
busing. Make "people" power a
fuel for society - not just one
group alone. Avoid intransigence in language and
action. Recognize that reverse
racism (black racism ) , can be
as damaging as white racism.
But reverse racism is "impossible to guage" because it is
"untested" and reactions to it in
society "are unknown and
unevaluated. Oppression must
be removed from social roles,
relegated to us, as individual
members of socierty. More
recognition
of
societal
assignemnts of black and other
minorities must be rewarded,
and not relegated to social roles
in stereotypical frames .
What is needed for the 70's,
are the following changes :
1. A coalition movement , of
genuine coalescing of leadership.
2.Self-determination to
realize what benefits we have.
3. Elimination of "whiteguilt" — not just helping 'a'
minority , but free-ing all periM>ns.

THE SKY IS NOT BLUE
When the stars of the night disappear from sight
and the blast of the sun takes out the fun
of the life and the death of the morning and the evening
you will knowwhat the earth has beentrying to show you
for so many years overshadowing your fears
touched inside out for then you will shout
with the gusts of the heart to the edge of the start
of the end of the trials with no one's denials
short shocks of disgust will trial you with lust
and the moon will fall along with it all
you'll then see the shore of the sea
a sigh of the sunset and life will be there yet
living forever is no endeavor
death is the fate you can always escape
you know too the sky is not blue
you are one of the few who can see the sun.

The Senate Appropriations
Committee chaired by Senator
Henry J. Cianfrani , DPhiladelphia, is holding public
hearings into Gov. Shapp 's
proposed $5 billion general fund
budget. The committee noted
the governor's proposed $169.4
million budget for the 13 state
colleges and Indiana University
is double the figure of five years
ago.
The mood in the legislature is
to constrain Shapp and his
department spenders , considering this is an election year.
"I want to set the tone right.

Senator Edwin C. Holl asked,
"Do the state colleges make any
effort to acquaint the student
with the total cost of his
education?"
Current tuition at the schools
is $800 a year, while room and
board costs nearly double that
figure. Secretary Pittenger said
the $800 tuition covers only 40
per cent of the full cost of
educating a student. Sen
Cianfrani concluded saying,
"The legislature will find the

Diamond crew open season
By John Eichenla ub
Tomorrow and Friday at 3
p.m. the Huskie Baseball Squad
will host Bucknell University
and Lemoyne College of N.Y. in
the season openers at Dan ny
Litwhiler Field (on upper
campus).
On Saturday the team travels
to Shippensburg for an interconference battle beginning at 1
p.m.
Last Sunday the team swept a
doubleheader from Luzerne
County Community College. On
the mound in the first game Jim
Perry, Joe Turri and Brent
Bankus combined for a 7-6
victory.
Craig Mensinger , Greg
Oswald, Mike Broda , Bob
Stackhouse, and fresh man Bill
Pennesi each contributed two
hits. Also, Gerry Jakubos made
a spectacular diving catch in
right field to thwart an early
Lycoming rally .
In the second game Richard
White, Tom Sucher, and Bruce
Wilson shutout the Minutemen
3-0 as Pat Predinger led the
balanced hitting attack with two
hits.
The Huskies, coached by
Clark Boler, will play 28 games
this season. Last year the squad
was 5-5 in the Eastern Division
of the Pennsylvania Conference

where they finished in a second
place tie.
Although the team has been
hindered by bad . weather,
particularly over Spring Break,
they appear to be ready. Unfortunately, since a number of
teams on their present schedule
have traveled South over
vacation , they are at a slight
disadvantage this early in the
season.
Bob Stackhouse and Greg
Oswald ( co-captains) will
probably start at third and
shortstop, while consistant
Craig Mensinger and Pat
Predinger are fighting it out for
second base. At first are heavy
hitters Tom Fulton and Scott
Vercoe. Rounding out the infield
are Charlie DeRenzis and Dick
Rodgers . Tim Long, Bill
Hessling, Don O'Connor, Dave
Scanlon and Joe McDonald are
on reserve.
In the outfield Gerald
Jakubos, surprise fresh man Bill
Pennesi and Mike Broda are in
contention with Ed Hess, Brent
Bankus and Jeff Bildstein. On
reserve are Norm Eckley, John
Eichenlaub , Dave Divigelli,
Tom George and Dan Gordon.
A tough battle is being staged
between Sam Crivellaro and
Dave Hower for the catching
job. Both have been pounding
the bal l and playing solid
defense. Tim Morris and Rick

Duffy are on call along with Dan
Keating and Scott Cox.
Taking the mound are
fireballers Bob Gibson, Joe
Jacobs, Bob Crimian , and Jim
Perry, Andy Hergan , Bruce
Wilson, Joe Turri, and after a
year layoff Richafd White is
back. Plus, new editions southpaw Rick Budweg and Al Spradel.Greg Fair and Ed Whitehall
wind up the list.
Bob Crimian was incorrectly
stated as a senior last week.
Sorry Crim.

Among the problems facing
coach Ron Puhl in preparation
for his opening season as head
football coach is the fact that
the NCAA has disallowed spring
practice for Division III schools
(which includes schools in the
Pennsylvania Conference of
which BSC is a member).
Coach Puhl feels that spring
drills can be looked at in two
ways: On the positive side, it
e_bles the coaches to instruct
his team on methods and
techniques that will be used in
the next season, it helps the
team build morale by working
together and getting to know
each other, and it gives the
coaches an opportunity to sort
out the material available for
the jobs available.
On the other hand , some
schools misuse their players as
they tie them up for a full year.
The players can suffer
academically and suffer unnecessary injuries. It also gives
the school extra costs.
Coach Puhl would like to have
held spring drills even though
he Is tied up with track this
semester. He feels that the
team has a great amount of
teaching to go through. The
practice would also give Coach
Puhl a chance to install his
defensive
offensive
and
systems.
Coach Puhl is hoping that the
football players will keep
themselves up In their
academic standards so that the
team doesn 't lose anyone
of
academic
because
deficiencies. Coach Puhl expects that during the spring and
summer the ball players will be

disciplined athletes, they will
maintain weights and increase
their physical strength and also
keep ,up their running. The hall
players should be athletically
sound and academically sound
so that when the fall season
roles around they are ready to
go. Coach Puhl plans to do all
that is humanly possible to
accomplish what is necessary
for meeting competition.
Coach Puhl feels that, "A
prime objective for any coach is
to be honest and fair with his
players". He is certain that the
players will be fair with him on
their increases in physical
strength and therefore its his
responsibjlity to make r*»-tein
that the positionsare filled with
the application of fair competition. He hopes to hold an
open camp before the opening of
fall camp.
Coach Puhl feels that dignity,
integrity and pride play a great
part in winning attitudes. Win ,
lose or draw, if the team puts
forth total effort , they will have
played well and you can build
momentum on that kind of
effort. He feels that pride runs
deep at BSC, from the college
staff to the faculty, to the administration and to Dr. McCormick. He has seen quite a
few players working out on their
own but not enough to get the
job at hand done. He feels that
the men on the athletic teams do
things if they want to and when
they go about it with a positive
attitude, they do a superb job.
Coach Puhl is still looking tor
people to help with statistics
and team managers. He hopes
he can start turning the football
program around.

This past weekend, the Husky
track team visited the campus
of Delaware State College for
the DSC Relays that BSC was
invited to attend . The trip was
not as prosperous as the team
hoped it would be. The only
winner from Bloomsburg was
Tony Montouth in the triple
jump leaping to an incredible
49'M>" thus beating his teammate Larry Dietrich , who
jumped 48'8V2" while getting
the second place spot .
Other members "of the team
that placed are: Fred Koetteritz
in the Pole Vault, 4th, (12'6");
Jeff Carruthers, 2nd, (6'6") and
Mike Kieper, tied for 3rd (6'4")

NFL film highlights
A sports film festival sponsored by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) at
BSC will be held in the Multipurpose room of the Kehr Union
on Thursday, April 1, 1976 from
7:00 to 10:00 p .m.y
The program 'will feature
David Marcom , Director of
Public Relations for National
Football League Films. That
evening he will be presenting
the highlights of the following
films: 1975 Phillies Baseball;
1975 American Air Line 's

Comedy, poetic and dramatic
films about professional football and people who play the
game; and an added feature
will be a film presentation on

Marcom has had many years
of experience producing
NFL films. His background
includes that of an editor,

writer, director , and public

Spo rts enthusiasts are
reminded by NFL that it will be
an evening of outstanding entertainment.

helped through more practice.
Handoffs in the 400 and 800
meter relays did not turn out to
what they were during the
practice sessions this past
week and this left the coach
feeling rather miserable about
the whole situation there.
This weekend the team has
the option of either going to a
meet at Lehigh University with
teams such as Yale, Temple,
Trenton State and East
Stroudsburg or go to a meet at
Kutztown. With the way the
team looks, it would seem
better to get a moral victory, as
well as point victory than to go
and get stomped at a large meet
with only a few individuals
scoring points. The best solution
would be to send the few fast
individuals to Lehigh and let the
rest of the team wipe up Kutztown.

be the team from Penn State. As
usual State has produced a
strong team and Bloomsburg
could have some difficulty
handling the matches with
them.

By Tim O'Leary
As the tennis team gets under
way in the regular season ,
many fans see the experienced
squad as one of the best that
Bloomsburg has fielded in a
long time. Under the direction
of Coach Bert Reese the team
has been conditioning themselves both physically and
mentally for the season since
early February .
With no serious injuries to
mar the performance of the
squad there are strong
possibilities for a championship
season in Bloomsburg.
The team travelled south over
spring break for a preview of
the competition they would face
this season. The Huskies played
six pre-season matches with
different schools including
N a v y , - Hampton-Sydney,
Hampton Academy and North
Carolina State. This was the
first time that Bloomsburg has
ever sent a team to compete in
matches down south, especially
in the preseason. Coach Reese
later commented ; "The matches really helped us prepare
ourselves. It gave the team a
look at it's strong points and the
competition showed us what we
needed to work on."
After last year 's disappointing season Coach Reese
and the entire tennis team is
looking forwar d to a good
showing this spring.
>
So far this year everything is
running according to schedule
and the team is ready for the
competition they face. Probably
the toughest opponent the
Huskies will meet this year will

«

As for the rest of the team 's
schedule, the team appear s
very confident in their ability.
The goal set for the team this
season is the State Championship, and their chances of
winning it are very strong.
Another goal set by the team
would be only one loss in dual
meet competition. That would
mean that throughout the entire
season Bloomsburg would allow
themselves only one let down on
their way to the championsh ips.
Providing these goals are the
players, who after many long
weeks of practice are ready for
the season. In the top three
spots for the team are Drew
Hostetter, Phil Christman and
Bob Rosics, all seniors.
Filling out the remainder of
the top six seats are Jim
Hollister, Jim Overbaugh and
Mike Pitchola , respectively.
The future of the team rests
mainly on sophomore Dave
Hamilton and freshman Pete
Bowman , along with Mike Lanz,
Bob Walp and John Olegnecker.
The competition Bloomsburg
faces includes Penn State, East
Millersville,
Stroudsburg,
Haverford and Temple (wh o
they just met with last Sunday) .
With the strength and enthusiasm the team shows 1976
has the makings of an excellent
tennis season at Bloomsburg.
