Items on the new agenda were
discussed and debated upon.
These items included a report
from a subcommittee concerning the reducing of
graduation requirements, a
report from a subcommittee on
the final examination policy,
the proposal of new charges for
the committee, and a report on
course adoptions.

committee decided that many
problems would arise if the
requirements were reduced.
Two problems discussed included students entering BSC
from two-year colleges and
courses required for majors. .
Students from two-year colleges
would be restricted according to
the new proposal since they
arrive at _ BSC with approximately 60 credits. If the
requirements were lowered ,
requirements for majors would
also need to be lowered, so the
student could complete fcis-her

Examination Board to serve as
a College-Level Examination
Program test center according
to Tommy L. Cooper, Dean of
Admissions and Records.
Both CLEP general and
subject examinations will be
administered twice a year. The
test dates for 1977 are March 5
and November 5.
The general tests are
primarily for individuals
without previous college experience and to be eligible for
credit must be taken prior to
matriculation at BSC. A
maximum of six credits may be
awarded for each of the five
basic test areas of English,
composition , humanities ,
mathematics, natural sciences,
and social sciences-history.
Credits may be applied toward
meeting the general education
requirements of the college.
Subject examinations will be
in the following areas: introductory accounting, AfroAmerican history, history of
American education , American
government, American history,
American literature , biology ,
introductory business law ,
introduction to business
management , introductory
calculus, general chemistry,

Credit is awarded for
achievement at or above the
mean score achieved by
students in the national norm
sample who earned the grade of
"c" in a regular college course
in the subject . The amount of
credit awarded is by the scope
of material measured by the
examination.
Credit earned by subject
examinations may be applied to
the
equivalent

requirements , equivalent
general
education
requirements , or free electives.
Registration for students
ministrators agreed that abuses
were made to the policy. Only
certain classes, such, as science
labs, were allowed to test
students on the week of finals.
Dr. Himes enused in a long
debate defending the General
Biology classes. General
Biology has always had the last
exam before finals two days
before the final exam. This is
due to the size of the class,
primarily. Students had
complained that the tests were
never reviewed ( that is, they
did not know what mistakes
they had made on the tests). Dr.
Himes argued, that despite the
size of the class, review sessions
were scheduled. Students.
however, rarely took advantage
of the sessions.
Attempting to get to the
bottom of the problem , it was
suggesting that a new committee, consisting of Professors
Mueller; Donald, and student
member Lou Hunsinger, check
out various sources and
solutions to the problem.
Suggestions" on new charges
for CCAA were discussed.
These included using CCAA as a
mediator between the different
schools, and having CCAA work
on curriculum changes and
instructional planning.
Adoptoins reported to CCAA
by the Vice-President were also
discussed. The adoptions entailed new courses and new
titles for existing courses.
The meeting adjourned at
5:00 p.m. The next meeting of
CCAA will be held at 3:30 p.m.
in Navy Hall Auditorium on
February 1.

.outs of having one built ,
determined that a "feasibility
study" is the first step to initiate
the project .
This study is required by the
Columbia County Planning
Commission £nd the Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation (Penn Dot) to
show an actual need for an'
overpass.
The study will cost $3,994.
Bids were sent out to four "research and engineering firms
that would be acceptable to the
Planning commission. Frank
Lor ah , Student Life Accountant,
and Matt Legge designed the
bids with the following
requirements : that the study
involve a full week, the number
of pedestrian crossings as well
as the number of cars that pass
by and their average speed, that
the study should be taken from
Penn Street to Country Club
Drive, and that it be completed
in the near future.
The ad hoc committee
brough t a proposal to the CGA
meeting Monday night to have
the study approved and funded .
CGA decided not to fund the
study completely for several
reasons. ,
One of which , they felt that
the town should share some of
the expense. It also seems that
by the time that the study would
be complete and the project was
accepted by the Pl anning
Commission and the state, 2
years, the CGA that will be in
office will not desire to take
necessary action to have construction begin. After much
emotional display, a motion was
passed to fund 50 per cent of the
( Study with the town, or another
source footing the rest of the
bill .
If the study ever does come
about , alternatives to an
.overpass will be sought even if
it is determined that an overpass is needed.
Shortly after the incident with
Julie Gaumer last semester,
Town Council, although not
saying that the overpass is not
needed, left an impression that
they would prefer to see other
measures enacted in order to
provide safer conditions at the ,
crossing. It also seems that the
council , for these reasons ,
would be reluctant to pick up
part of the bill for a study .
To most members of CGA ,
$4,000 dollars is too much
money to find out that the
overpass is not needed, which
may very likely be the result.
Even if the study shows a
drastic need to build an overpass , the County Planning
Commission, the State, and
Federal governments must
approve and 'appropriate the
enormous construction cost.

Back to governing
For the many students who missed last Monday night's CGA
meeting, you missed what was truly one of the most dramatic
episodes ever witnessed. One could certainly not call this student
government in action . In fact it didn 't even resemble student government.
The meeting was more like a play in that a great deal of playacting occured . It seems as though the majority of the members
have forgotten that they are representing the students of this college
rather than themselves.
Monday night's fiasco resulted in a few of the members walking out of the- meeting after their proposal was defeated by the
council. Granted , it isn't easy to sit through a three hour meeting,
but these are elected positions and the members should be at least
responsible enough to represent their fellows for the duration of the
meeting. Additionally, it is easy to realize why these members
became upset considering the importance of their proposal and the
amount of work they-did to get it before council. However , their
course of action resembled something which might happen in a high
school rather than in a college.
Maybe they were also upset by the fact that many of the members
were carrying on their own conversations while they were trying to
speak. This wasn 't only true in the aforementioned case; but in all
of the items which came up before council. It is evident that few
people listen to what is being said because they repeatedly ask
the same questions concerning the items on the agenda.
What to do? Obviously it's time for the members of CGA to make
an attempt at being a little more professional and a little less defensive about their positions as members of a student government.
If these positions were appointed it would be easy to understand
why people would not want to sit through long meetings. However,
they are elected and the members should have enough of a sense of
responsibility to actively participate once every two weeks.
It's time for the members of the CGA to start acting like they
are part of a governing force rather than becoming upset and leaving the meetings when something doesn 't go their way. They should
also have the respect to listen to someone who might have a point
of view that differs from theirs rather than engaging in side conversations when someone says something they don 't like.
Until recently,. CGA has done a good job, but all of a sudden the
quality has decreased and the members have become a bit selfish.
Students want responsible government and it is CGA's obligation
to give it to them.

Whether or not you noticed ,
it' s winter ; and il is one of the
coldest if not the coldest ever in
this part of the country.
I know it is unusuall y cold
because my car tried to follow
me into the house the other day
and it would have succeeded if it
wasn 't for my long underwear
j ump ing out of the drawer to
lock the door.
But there is also another sign
which shows me winter is here.
Those people that smile a lot
have a more than usual amount
of cracks on their faces.
Besides being a cold winter
I' ve also heard that it is also
supposed to be a long one. If the
cold weather keeps up the
chariot race during Greek Week
in April will have to be changed
to a dog sled race. If that is the
case it'll be too cold to have
everyone brave the cold for two
races (fraternit y and sorority).
There 'll onl y be one race with
the girls of course , pulling.
But , seriously, you know it
has to be cold when it snows in
Bloomsburg and it stays on the
ground for a long period of time
(which in Bloomsburg probably
means any thing over two days).
This is the kind of weather
that makes you want to sit next
to a fire and to feel warm as
Introduction
When I first came to
Bloomsburg I didn 't really
know what to think. The
brooding edifice of Elwell Hall
was soon to be a mauseleum to
my privacy and free will. I was
abruptly thrust into a college
community where young men
and women booze, smoke dope,
make love, and occasionally
study .
I gradually became accustomed to the odor of
marajuana smoke wafting
through the hallways, the din of
frat brothers engaged in
boisterous comeraderie, and
the putrid smell of vomited beer
which pervaded the bathrooms

I mentioned before that this is
one of the coldest winters I've
ever known. If hell is ever to
freeze over it will be this winter
which means that you might
have to do all those things you
said you 'd do if hell ever did
freeze.
There are also other indications of how bad this winter
is going to be. I've jus t been
informed that Nanuck of the
North just checked into the
Magee. This not only means
that it's cold but it is also an
indication that the winter is
going to be long. There's also a
rumor that the Arcus Brothers
are going to have a month-long
special on beach balls. The
person who told me this is
convinced that this is surely a
sign of a lon g winter . Another
rumor I've heard is that if the
cold keeps up ' and the snow
stays down on the ground ,
Wonderview will hold its first
annual Claudine Longet ski
shoot to take place on the
beginners slope.
Yes, all indications are that
this is and will continue to be,
one of the worst winters ever in
Bloomsburg.

Co/rf idea s
II
on Saturday and Sunday
mornings.
I hoped to find the college a
haven—a sort of ancestral
learning place where the
tradition s of the past are
savored as preciousl y as the
activities of the present . My
hopes were shattered as wholly
as the once proud Noetling and
Waller Halls. I guess I was too
fond of Bloomsburg 's disgarded
tradition s to see the practicality
of destroying the old dorms in
making way for Schuylkill and
Lycoming.
Once, as I prowled the ruins of
Waller , I paused in a moment of
reflection . Thinking back to my
grandm other , Lucreti a
Seward's class of 1916, I wondered how they would have
viewed today 's sad state of
affairs. Even hell raisers of the
twenties would have considered
contempora ry students benign
and dull in their Anacrconic
pursuits.
How would my other kin folk
regard the abandonment of May
and Ivy Days? Those still living,
my aunt , maternal grandmother , and distant cousins ,
have spoken of the present with
great sadness. It is almost as if
they shared a death of the spirit
along with the deaths of the old
landmarks. All of them have
studied at Bloom , providing an
extensive family tradition
which has finally included a
cousin and myself.
During the first two years at
Bloom, I dormed in Elwell ,
living for a year on each wing of
the sixth floor. The assets of
communit y living far out-
weighted the occasional annoyances. Understanding that
it's a give and take situation
makes a hell of a difference.
You goddam well should know
what I mea n by that cliche.
After all , you can 't be on the
taking end of the deal all the
time.
In those early days of college
life I met such friends as Tom
Simpson , the inspiration for the
Simpson Curse, which appeared
in the Maroon and Gold. Even
the notorious Pat Salmon of the
"Land of Moosic " was
represented in a story about the
Loch Ness Monster , under the
pseudonym of Alan Drake.
The nature of these stories
gave me the reputation of being
an occultist. Never one to
shatter the illusions of those
around me , I allowed them to
think of me as "Campus Horror
Incorporated" . I even went so
far as to purchase a Ouija board
and a pack of Tarot cards. The
Libra signet ring on my right
hand became the official
"Stinkin' Oarloff" stamp on all
letters bound with sealing wax.
The name of Daryl R. Lewis
appeared under the heading of
many off-beat stories. I once
wrote a story advising a
declaration of war on the moon
as a means of improving the
nation 's economy, for example.
I was probably suffering from
the same "Gonzo" reasoning as
Doctor Hunter S. Thompson ,
although to a lesser degree.
After a semester or so, involved with the local theatre
group, I decided to return to

JAY C. ROCHELLE
PROTESTANT CAMPUS PASTOR
There is within me a certain naivete which, in the face of all
obstacles, persists. Despite so-called "evidences" to the contrary,
I still believe in the possibility of depth in religious commitment
as a direct spur into a broadening of one's concern for the world of
ideas, people and things. I am always genuinely surprised when
people use religion as a means to limit their intellectual, personal,
or social lives. In my simplicity I feel any God worthy of that exalted
Name would hardly bar me from exploring the fullness of mental
growth or intellectual discovery, but would rather rejoice in my
own deepening understanding of the world of whales and wombats,
sociological statistics and psychological insights. You don 't have to
be Jewish to believe that love of learning is a form of worship of
God.
I am firmly committed to two communities which I do not see as
mutually exclusive: the university and the church. That specific
denomination of Christians to which I belong, Lutheranism, was in
fact born on university soil as a movement by those fearless (and
foolhardly ) enough to oppose the received wisdom with a wisdom
felt to be deeper, broader , and more open than that of the status
quo. In short, academic troublemakers. The central philosophica l
principle of Protestantism may well be, as Paul Tillich suggested ,
its continual calling into question of all received knowledge, allegiances and institutions. Which ought to mean that the faith does not
need any protection or defense from either its rejection or pampering by the academic and intellectual crossroads we call a college.
In fact, it might even thrive in such a place.
For me, the faith I have in both these communities is a steppingstone for entry to the wider world, since I cannot conceive of my
faith as a means for hiding from the world. The community of care
and memory I know as the church is not given for the purpose of
easily distinguishing good guys fronrbad guys, but for expanding
love of one particular person into love for every person ; expanding
commitment to' one belief into an appreciation for all beliefs; expanding one instance of new life into the occasion for numerous
rebirths.
I do not expect a state college like Bloomsburg to go out of its
way to offer a form for religion of any kind: good, bad, or merely
boring. But often gentle reminders are necessary that there is a
pathway of faith available which neither opposes nor forces the intertwining of church and university, but is willing to use the depth
of one to encourage the breadth of another and vice versa. The
life of the spirit and the life of the mind are not opposed ; test tubes
and Christmases belong together, creating a life of depth and
breadth. How could it be any other way?

This summer - France
In the Spring of 1975,
Professors Kenneth Wilson of
the Art Department and Mary
Lou John of the Department of
Foreign Languages organized
an interdisciplinary course, Art
and Culture of France, which
involved a 17-day tour of southwestern France the chateau
country, and Paris, beginning
with several days in Spain.
Twenty-eight students, faculty,
high school teachers, and other
adults took part in this
rewarding experience of immersion into the culture ,
language, and art of France;
some of the highlights of the
study-tour including visits to the
pre-historic caves of the Dordogne Valley, containing the art
of pre-historic man , and a stay
at a working farm , where some
of the students helped to feed
the livestock and all enjoyed
tasting the various foods
produced on the spot : the
poultry, bread, wine, cheese.
The group visited outstanding
examples of many periods of
architecture
Roman ,
Romanesque ,
Gothic ,
Renaissance, Classic, and
Modern , with stops in Perpignan ,' Carcassonne, Toulouse,
Montfort , Les Eyzies, Poitiers,
Limoges (and the pottery
works) , Loches, Chenonceaux,
Amboise, Blois, Chartres, and
Versailles, completing the tour
with several days in Paris
where visits to the Louvre, the
Museum of Modern Art, and the
Jeu de Paume (museum
housing work of the Impressionists) were featured.
The history of the various
regions visited was stressed,
and much present-day culture
was absorbed in visits to the
open-air markets, the specialty
the
cafes
shops,
and
restaurants, the theater , and
the opera. Orientation sessions
were held before the . trip and
review was conducted upon
return .
SECOND STUDY-TOUR
PLANNED
In the Summer of 1977, the
Departments of Art and
Foreign Languages will sponsor
a second study-tour , Art and
Culture of France, under the
leadership of Professors Wilson
and John. This course is open to
all French and Art students as
well as any other persons who
would like an experience firsthand in the art and culture of
France.
This year the focus will be
upon the cultural heritage of
Southern France , especially
Provence, with stays in Nice,
Aix, and Avignon, concluding
with several days in Paris.
Visits will be made to historical
sites, such as edifices
remaining from the days of the
Roman Empire, to museums,
and steliers, particularly those
of the Impressionists, and to
By
areas loved and made famous
by many artists and wri ters.
Participants will have the
opportunity to become absorbed
in present-day culture in sunny
Provence, to taste the regional
specialties and take part in
regional life. In Paris, walking
tours will be made of various
picturesque quarters, and visits
to special places such as the
newly remodeled Comedie
Francaise and the new Museum
of Modern . Art location in the
center of the city where the old
recently
marke t
was
for a
way
demolished to make
beautiful new park.
This year the course has been
expanded to 22 days, from June
19 to July 10, 1977, and basic fees
(including breakfast , dinner, all
transportation , most entrance
fees, and all lodging - based
upon a minimum of 30 participants) amount to $897.00
Tuition for three credits (based
upon present fees ) will be $99.00
for undergraduate credit and
$129.00 for graduate credit. For
non-credit, there is an attendance fee of $25.00. For
further information , contact

Kehr Union
shows 'Roots '
Alex Haley has been the recipient of a number of awards, including five honorary academic doctorate degrees.. He is
scheduled to be the key note speaker for the Bloomsburg State
College History conference in February. The Human Relations
Planning Committee will co-sponsor his visit. As a preparation
effort, the Hum an Relations Committee with the assistan ce of Dr.
J. Mulka, Director of Student Activities, will sponsor , the ABC
showing of "Roots" in Kehr Union Coffee house January 23rd
through January 30. Below is a brief synopsis of a press release
about "Roots":
"Roots, " the emotionally shattering and historically unprecedented saga of the genesis of an American family,
dram atizing the lives of slaves and masters through generations
of individual men and women in times of turbulence and change,
airs a 12 hour , non-fiction "ABC Novel for Television" on the ABC
Television Network beginning in January o! 1977.
The David L. Wolper Production, which began its multi-part
filming on location in and around Savannah , Georgia, and continues on location in Southern-California , is based on Alex Haley's
landmark book of the same title.
The epic narrative, an eloquent testimonial to the mdomitability of the human spirit , involved 12 years of research
and writing during a half million miles of travel across three
continents. The story traces one American family, Haley's, from
the birth of a boy called Kunta Kinte in the Mandinka Village of
Juffure in the Gambia, West Africa , in 1750. The boys' abduction
to America as a slave leads to a fight for freedom of body and soul
that continued throughout his own life and the lives of the
generations that followed , in chains, on the plantations of pre-civil
war America .
The open ing chapter of "Roots" called "The African," stars
(alphabetically ) Maya Angelou, Edward Asner , LeVar Burton,
Ji-Tu Cumbuka , Louis Gossett , Jr., Lome Greene, Moses Gunn ,
Thalmus Rasulala, Robert Reed, Hari Rhodes, Paul Shenar , O.J.
Simpson, Ralph Waite , Ren Woods and Cicely Tyson.
The centra] role of Kun ta Kinte at the age of 17 is played by
Levar Burton , a young actor discovered in the Drama Department of the University of Southern California. Cicely Tyson plays
the boy's mother. Thalmus Rasulala — previously featured with
Miss Tyson in "The Autobiograph y of Miss Jan e Pittman" —
plays Kunta Kinte's father. The vital role of the consciencestricken captain of the slave vessel is played by Edward
Asner, with Ralph Waite as the ship 's third mate , immune to the
suffering in the slave hold.
Lome Greene is Kunta's first owner, and Louis Gossett, Jr.,
represents the boy's first friend — An American born in slavery,
knowing no other life.
Ren Woods, in her first starring role on film (she is currently
starring on stage in the Los Angeles production of "The Wiz ") ,
plays a young girl who is ki dnapped along with Kunta ; O.J.
Simpson is featured as the girl's father.
Emmy-winner David Greene ("Rich Man , Poor Man ) has
directed the opening script by story supervisor William Blinn
(Peabody-winner for "Brian 's Song ") and Emmy-winner Ernest
Kinoy The entire project is being produced by Stan Margulies
("Collision Course ," "I will Fight No More Forever ") with music
by Quincy Jones.

The POCKETBOOK IMPACT
Of POLITICS
Colleges Called System9s Best Hope
Ignorance of economics has Jed to an "ever-increasing flood"
of regulations, restrictions and taxes that are hobbling the nation's
ability to generate the $4 trillion in private investment and nearly
20 million new job s that will be needed by 1985, the chairman
of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. said recently.
In a speech to the first National Conference of University and
Business Leaders at Kent State Uni versity in Akron , Ohio, Charles
G. Pilhod said the nation 's colleges and universities represent the
best hope to counteract forces "that threaten to render free enterprise impotent and also are undermining the freedoms of the
education system."
He urged the education leaders to take the initiative in building
public understanding of the free enterprise system and mending
America's social and economic fabric.
Stress Positive, Government Told
Members of government should start emphasizing the positive
contributions of American industry, S. F. Miketic, vice president,
production resources, Westinghouse Electric Corp.,
said recently.

Trathen supports student ideas
by EILEEN CALLAHAN
If one person could epitomize
the successful Bloomsburg
State College graduate , he
would be Mr. John Trathen.
A business education major
who received both his
Bachelor 's and Master 's
degrees here, he was offered the
job of comptroller of Student
Activities after his January 1968
graduation . "And that ," .explained Trathen , "was back in
the days when jobs weren 't
scarce."
.
In '72 Trathen moved on to
become Assistant Director of
Student Activities, the position
he holds today. In this position
he has many responsibilities,
basically dealing with supervising the business operations.
As a member of the Union
Program Board , Trathen works
to encourage student projects .
Emphasizing the fact that his
job is to give guidance and help
when needed , he commended
the work of the students in
organizing special events.
A special project of Trathen 's
is the discount on school supplies in the college store. Not
many college's in the state give
the five per cent discount oh
textbooks.
Another project unique to
Bloomsburg, and the result of
the assistant director, is the
carpool listings for commuters,
as well as the many activities
scheduled for commuters
during the academic year. The
carpool itself is not unique in
these days 0*f oil spill after oil
spill ; the listing is the difference.
Commuting students are
listed alphabetically by town,
which Trathen feels is m ore
advantageous to the use of
carpools by students.
Through his many years here
at BSC, Trathen has seen many
changes in both faculty and
students , as well as administrative policies. .Back in
the 60's, the books were closed
to students who were inquiring
into the course their money took
after payment. Today, not only
are the books open to students,
but they are encouraged to take
an interest. "The openness and
availability of the records is a
great change in the business
policies of the school."
trathen also explained that
interns from business administrations are now employed by the department and
they are the ones who work on
targum crossword
such things as the budgets and
procedures. "The students are
extremely responsible in theip
positions."
As a student activities
director Trathen is in touch with
needs of the students. As a
Union program board member,
he feels that the need for the
Union itself as well as the many
activities it provides students is
very
important
in the
maturation process of college.
"There is only about 20 percent
of full time students time spent
in classes, the other 80 percent
is spent in social interaction,
and the Union provides a place
to blow off some steam. "
Trathen enjoys . his job
because it is constantly
changing in contrast to pushing
a pencil year after year ,
"Working with open minded
people from 18 to 30 is a constantly challenging situation ."
The Pennsylvania Legislative
Correspondents Association , an
organization of state government reporters based in
Harrisburg, will have a summer intern program again in
1977.
Two students,, who currently
are juniors, will be picked for
the 12-week program which will
begin in the late Spring. The
stipend for each student will be
$1,200. The program is open to
students attending Pennsylvania colleges and to Pennsylvania residents who go to
school out-of-state.
The interns will have the
opportunit y to work with
reporters from the Harrisburg
bureaus of; AP , UPI arid
Allentown , Harrisburg,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
newspapers. The emphasis will
be on reporting state government news and acceptable
stories will be published. Only
persons who plan to make
journalism a career should
apply for these internships.
The deadline for applications
is March 18. Entries postmarked after this date will not
be accepted. The PLCA
"Since you can't spend every
minute of your time studying,
programs such as Hollywood
Squares and the upcoming
Dance Marathon promote interaction between students ,
professors and deans. "
''The Union is the one place on
campus that promotes harmony
where students can both study
and enjoy themselves."
Onion Soup , fresh garden salad ,
and features Roast Beef au jus,
baked stuffed potato, green
beans almondin e and a choice of
coffee, tea or milk. For dessert
there will be French apple pie.
The price is $12.00 per person
and
is
definitely
not
unreasonablefor what it offers.
Unfortunately there are only 300
tickets available and they will
go on a first come, first serve
basis.
They may be obtained
through the banquet committee
now, and from January 23 to
February 3, a table will be set
up in Kehr Union from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Also beginning
January 31, a table will be set
up in the A-B Lobby of Scran ton
Commons from 4 - 6 p.m.
A sign-up sheet will be
available (February 1, 2 only!)
in the Commons during dinner
hours for those in need of
transportation. The banquet
committee strongly urges
everyone to take advantage of
this convenience.
The committee consists of
Bruce DeHaven, Reyna Rezzuto , Anne Yeag er , Carol
Boguczyk, John Eichenlaub,
Bob Lucarelli, Cindy Mull ,
Chris . . Holmes,
Carol
Naumovitz, ami Jim' Kelly.
This is not a "couples only"
affair. As it will surely be a
sellout, so don't be the one left
out . Buy your tickets now ! Any
questions concerning beverages
can be taken up with the
committee members.

Photo Forum
compiled by Wayne Palmer
What do you think about
the pass fail option?
Randi Matson — I like having
the option , however, I think the
deadline should be around midterm time, because it's hard to
know how a course is going to be
in just the first week and half of
school!!
Ed Breiner — I think it is a
fine program because it gives
students an opportunity to study
difficult subjects that may
interest them without the
pressure of evaluation.
Art Casale — I think the
present pass-fail option is good
just as it is. They should" not
change it!
. Terry Shoemaker — I think
they are a good idea since they
make you take junk courses you
shouldn 't have to get a grade
for .
Rick Rogers — I think it a
good idea because students are
given an opportunity to take a
course that interests them but
without the pressure of putting
in a lot of time for a grade. This
is my last semester and I'm
taking two courses pass-fail and
without them I would be in
trouble.
Sally Wilson — The whole
grading system as we know it is
of no value. Can a test truly
assess how much a student
learns? I don 't think it's fair to
average in a fail as an "E" but
not a pass as an "A". I think the
whole grading system should be
pass or fail to eliminate some of
the pressures of competition in
academia.
Mary Iturrichtcr — A passfail course is like an audit. You
can learn a lot without having to
worry about the grade. I think
it' s particularly good for
courses outside your major in
which your interest is the
mptfyator ior the work you do.
Vicky Hill — It takes pressure
off of you . That is, you don 't
have to worry about getting a
lower grade to pull your cum
down and therefore you may do
better in the course without the
extra tension.

Army ROTC usuall y takes four years of college but you can
do it in two.
^
.
^
If , for example you couldn't take Army ROTC during your first
two years at Bloomsburg State , or you just didn 't want to take
ROTC but now you recognize the benefits, you may still enroll
in the two-year program.
1
You start this program by going to our five-week basic camp
this summer at Ft. Knox , Kentucky.
Camp - A little classroom work; some challenging physical
training - replaces the basic course you would have taken during
your first two years . You 're well paid for this five-week catch-
•' . ¦
UP-
»
Then , after camp, you complete your advanced course during
your junior and senior years.
Maybe you'll decide that the chance to get real management
earlier than most people will be worth a lot later on.
Maybe you can use the $100.00 per month subsistence allowance you will get paid up to 10 months of each school year.
Maybe qualifying for two careers simultaneousl y - military
or civilian - is insurance against job uncertainties.
Maybe the opportunity for an Army ROTC scholarship, which
pays for tuition , books , lab fees , plus $100.00 per month , looks
exciting.
The Army ROTC two-year program is another chance for a
better career through Army ROTC.
The Deadline for A pplying is April 15, 1977.

Army ROTC - Learn What It Takes to Lead
Huskies fop York , Radocha breaks mark
Jerry Radocha scored 27
points breaking John Willis'
BSC scoring record , as the
Huskies basketball team, beat
York, 88-76.
The basket that put Radocha
in the number one spot on the
all-time BSC scoring list came
at 7:24 remaining in the first
half. Radocha's career total at
Bloomsburg stands at 1489
points , with
12 games
remaining on this year .'s
schedule.
The Huskies, now 10-2 on the
season, started off f ast. BSC
scored the first seven points of
the game, and held a 13-6 lead
before York mounted a
comeback . York scored the next
eight points to take a 14-13 lead.
The game was tied four times
before a three-point play by
Radocha put the Huskies on top
for good, 25-22. York stayed
close, though, trailing still by
three at 32-29. But the Huskies
outscored York 12-7 to hold a 4436 lead at the . half-way mark.
The Huskies kept it up in the
second half , leading by as much
as 13 at 54-4lrYork started to
make the game interesting as
they pulled to within five at 6863 with nine minutes to go. But
BSC outscored York by seven in
those last nine minutes for their
fifth win in a row.
The free throw line was
Bloomsburg's ally again, as it
has been for many games this
season . The Huskies hit on 24
free throws to York's 14, but
scored only one more field goal.
Four Huskies were in double
figures. Along with Radocha ,
Rick Joseph scored 12 points,
and Rich Evans and Jeff Mayer
both had 10 points . York had
only one man in double figures,
Scott Bartner , and with 38
points led all scorers.
Tomorrow night is an important Pennsy lvania Conference game for the Huskies in
their run for the East Division
title. Kutztown Sta te will be
traveling to Nelson Fieldhouse.
The Bears have a 2-2 conference
record (as of Monday) , one
game behind the Huskies. The
Huskies are in second place in
the standings with only one
league loss. In first place is both
Cheyney and Mansfield, with
undefeated league marks.
These two teams played each
other Wednesday night, so by
now only one team is ahead of
the Huskies.

An exhibition of watercolor painting by Bloomsburg native Donald
Hilderbrandt is now on display in Haas Gallery of Art on the Bloomsburg State College campus until January 28.
Hilderbrandt practices as a land and urban planner and is a
principal owner of Land Design/Research , a planning and architecture firm in Columbia , Maryland. He received his Bachelors
degree in Landscape Architecture from the Pennsylvania State
University in 1961 and a Masters degree from the University of
Michigan in 1963.
Watercolor painting has been a serious avocation of Hilderbrandt's
for the last ten years, growing out of a lifetime interest in the medium. Much of his appreciation of the rural landscape was fostered
as a youth while living in Bloomsburg. His training as a landscape
architect increased his interest, as well as his technical ability
in interpreting and presenting various images of landscapes. As a
watercoldrist, he often presents nostalgic images of the farming
and fishing industries, not just as a reminder of their rich heritage
but to reflect on the diminishing lifestyle of these essential industries. As a land planner, Don's interest in land focuses on the need
to conserve our natura l resources by planning and managing more
orderly growth of our communities.

the proposal of new charges for

Two problems discussed included students entering BSC

courses required for majors. .
Students from two-year colleges
would be restricted according to
the new proposal since they
arrive at _ BSC with approximately 60 credits. If the

requirements for majors would

Examination Board to serve as
a College-Level Examination
Program test center according
to Tommy L. Cooper, Dean of
Admissions and Records.
Both CLEP general and
subject examinations will be
administered twice a year. The
test dates for 1977 are March 5
and November 5.
The general tests are
primarily for individuals
without previous college experience and to be eligible for
credit must be taken prior to
matriculation at BSC. A
maximum of six credits may be
awarded for each of the five
basic test areas of English,
composition , humanities ,
mathematics, natural sciences,
and social sciences-history.
Credits may be applied toward
meeting the general education
requirements of the college.
Subject examinations will be
in the following areas: introductory accounting, AfroAmerican history, history of
American education , American
government, American history,
American literature , biology ,
introductory business law ,
introduction to business
management , introductory
calculus, general chemistry,
;COllege algebra , college

Credit is awarded for
achievement at or above the
mean score achieved by
students in the national norm
sample who earned the grade of
"c" in a regular college course
in the subject . The amount of
credit awarded is by the scope
of material measured by the
examination.
Credit earned by subject
examinations may be applied to
the
equivalent
major
requirements , equivalent
general
education
requirements , or free electives.
Registration for students
ministrators agreed that abuses
were made to the policy. Only
certain classes, such, as science
labs, were allowed to test
students on the week of finals.
Dr. Himes enused in a long
debate defending the General
Biology classes. General
Biology has always had the last
exam before finals two days
before the final exam. This is
due to the size of the class,
primarily. Students had
complained that the tests were
never reviewed ( that is, they
did not know what mistakes
they had made on the tests). Dr.
Himes argued, that despite the
size of the class, review sessions
were scheduled. Students.
however, rarely took advantage
of the sessions.
Attempting to get to the
bottom of the problem , it was
suggesting that a new committee, consisting of Professors
Mueller; Donald, and student
member Lou Hunsinger, check
out various sources and
solutions to the problem.
Suggestions" on new charges
for CCAA were discussed.
These included using CCAA as a
mediator between the different
schools, and having CCAA work
on curriculum changes and
instructional planning.
Adoptoins reported to CCAA
by the Vice-President were also
discussed. The adoptions entailed new courses and new
titles for existing courses.
The meeting adjourned at
5:00 p.m. The next meeting of
CCAA will be held at 3:30 p.m.
in Navy Hall Auditorium on
February 1.

.outs of having one built ,
determined that a "feasibility
study" is the first step to initiate
the project .
This study is required by the
Columbia County Planning
Commission £nd the Pennsylvania
Department
of
Transportation (Penn Dot) to
show an actual need for an'
overpass.
The study will cost $3,994.
Bids were sent out to four "research and engineering firms
that would be acceptable to the
Planning commission. Frank
Lor ah , Student Life Accountant,
and Matt Legge designed the
bids with the following
requirements : that the study
involve a full week, the number
of pedestrian crossings as well
as the number of cars that pass
by and their average speed, that
the study should be taken from
Penn Street to Country Club
Drive, and that it be completed
in the near future.
The ad hoc committee
brough t a proposal to the CGA
meeting Monday night to have
the study approved and funded .
CGA decided not to fund the
study completely for several
reasons. ,
One of which , they felt that
the town should share some of
the expense. It also seems that
by the time that the study would
be complete and the project was
accepted by the Pl anning
Commission and the state, 2
years, the CGA that will be in
office will not desire to take
necessary action to have construction begin. After much
emotional display, a motion was
passed to fund 50 per cent of the
( Study with the town, or another
source footing the rest of the
bill .
If the study ever does come
about , alternatives to an
.overpass will be sought even if
it is determined that an overpass is needed.
Shortly after the incident with
Julie Gaumer last semester,
Town Council, although not
saying that the overpass is not
needed, left an impression that
they would prefer to see other
measures enacted in order to
provide safer conditions at the ,
crossing. It also seems that the
council , for these reasons ,
would be reluctant to pick up
part of the bill for a study .
To most members of CGA ,
$4,000 dollars is too much
money to find out that the
overpass is not needed, which
may very likely be the result.
Even if the study shows a
drastic need to build an overpass , the County Planning
Commission, the State, and
Federal governments must
approve and 'appropriate the
enormous construction cost.

Back to governing
For the many students who missed last Monday night's CGA
meeting, you missed what was truly one of the most dramatic
episodes ever witnessed. One could certainly not call this student
government in action . In fact it didn 't even resemble student government.
The meeting was more like a play in that a great deal of playacting occured . It seems as though the majority of the members
have forgotten that they are representing the students of this college
rather than themselves.
Monday night's fiasco resulted in a few of the members walking out of the- meeting after their proposal was defeated by the
council. Granted , it isn't easy to sit through a three hour meeting,
but these are elected positions and the members should be at least
responsible enough to represent their fellows for the duration of the
meeting. Additionally, it is easy to realize why these members
became upset considering the importance of their proposal and the
amount of work they-did to get it before council. However , their
course of action resembled something which might happen in a high
school rather than in a college.
Maybe they were also upset by the fact that many of the members
were carrying on their own conversations while they were trying to
speak. This wasn 't only true in the aforementioned case; but in all
of the items which came up before council. It is evident that few
people listen to what is being said because they repeatedly ask
the same questions concerning the items on the agenda.
What to do? Obviously it's time for the members of CGA to make
an attempt at being a little more professional and a little less defensive about their positions as members of a student government.
If these positions were appointed it would be easy to understand
why people would not want to sit through long meetings. However,
they are elected and the members should have enough of a sense of
responsibility to actively participate once every two weeks.
It's time for the members of the CGA to start acting like they
are part of a governing force rather than becoming upset and leaving the meetings when something doesn 't go their way. They should
also have the respect to listen to someone who might have a point
of view that differs from theirs rather than engaging in side conversations when someone says something they don 't like.
Until recently,. CGA has done a good job, but all of a sudden the
quality has decreased and the members have become a bit selfish.
Students want responsible government and it is CGA's obligation
to give it to them.

Whether or not you noticed ,
it' s winter ; and il is one of the
coldest if not the coldest ever in
this part of the country.
I know it is unusuall y cold
because my car tried to follow
me into the house the other day
and it would have succeeded if it
wasn 't for my long underwear
j ump ing out of the drawer to
lock the door.
But there is also another sign
which shows me winter is here.
Those people that smile a lot
have a more than usual amount
of cracks on their faces.
Besides being a cold winter
I' ve also heard that it is also
supposed to be a long one. If the
cold weather keeps up the
chariot race during Greek Week
in April will have to be changed
to a dog sled race. If that is the
case it'll be too cold to have
everyone brave the cold for two
races (fraternit y and sorority).
There 'll onl y be one race with
the girls of course , pulling.
But , seriously, you know it
has to be cold when it snows in
Bloomsburg and it stays on the
ground for a long period of time
(which in Bloomsburg probably
means any thing over two days).
This is the kind of weather
that makes you want to sit next
to a fire and to feel warm as
Introduction
When I first came to
Bloomsburg I didn 't really
know what to think. The
brooding edifice of Elwell Hall
was soon to be a mauseleum to
my privacy and free will. I was
abruptly thrust into a college
community where young men
and women booze, smoke dope,
make love, and occasionally
study .
I gradually became accustomed to the odor of
marajuana smoke wafting
through the hallways, the din of
frat brothers engaged in
boisterous comeraderie, and
the putrid smell of vomited beer
which pervaded the bathrooms

toast or as a friend suggested ,
forget the lire and just feel like
a piece of toast.
I mentioned before that this is
one of the coldest winters I've
ever known. If hell is ever to
freeze over it will be this winter
which means that you might
have to do all those things you
said you 'd do if hell ever did
freeze.
There are also other indications of how bad this winter
is going to be. I've jus t been
informed that Nanuck of the
North just checked into the
Magee. This not only means
that it's cold but it is also an
indication that the winter is
going to be long. There's also a
rumor that the Arcus Brothers
are going to have a month-long
special on beach balls. The
person who told me this is
convinced that this is surely a
sign of a lon g winter . Another
rumor I've heard is that if the
cold keeps up ' and the snow
stays down on the ground ,
Wonderview will hold its first
annual Claudine Longet ski
shoot to take place on the
beginners slope.
Yes, all indications are that
this is and will continue to be,
one of the worst winters ever in
Bloomsburg.

Co/rf idea s

on Saturday and Sunday
mornings.
I hoped to find the college a
haven—a sort of ancestral
learning place where the
tradition s of the past are
savored as preciousl y as the
activities of the present . My
hopes were shattered as wholly
as the once proud Noetling and
Waller Halls. I guess I was too
fond of Bloomsburg 's disgarded
tradition s to see the practicality
of destroying the old dorms in
making way for Schuylkill and
Lycoming.
Once, as I prowled the ruins of
Waller , I paused in a moment of
reflection . Thinking back to my
grandm other , Lucreti a
Seward's class of 1916, I wondered how they would have
viewed today 's sad state of
affairs. Even hell raisers of the
twenties would have considered
contempora ry students benign
and dull in their Anacrconic
pursuits.
How would my other kin folk
regard the abandonment of May
and Ivy Days? Those still living,
my aunt , maternal grandmother , and distant cousins ,
have spoken of the present with
great sadness. It is almost as if
they shared a death of the spirit
along with the deaths of the old
landmarks. All of them have
studied at Bloom , providing an
extensive family tradition
which has finally included a
cousin and myself.
During the first two years at
Bloom, I dormed in Elwell ,
living for a year on each wing of
the sixth floor. The assets of
communit y living far out-
weighted the occasional annoyances. Understanding that
it's a give and take situation
makes a hell of a difference.
You goddam well should know
what I mea n by that cliche.
After all , you can 't be on the
taking end of the deal all the
time.
In those early days of college
life I met such friends as Tom
Simpson , the inspiration for the
Simpson Curse, which appeared
in the Maroon and Gold. Even
the notorious Pat Salmon of the
"Land of Moosic " was
represented in a story about the
Loch Ness Monster , under the
pseudonym of Alan Drake.
The nature of these stories
gave me the reputation of being
an occultist. Never one to
shatter the illusions of those
around me , I allowed them to
think of me as "Campus Horror
Incorporated" . I even went so
far as to purchase a Ouija board
and a pack of Tarot cards. The
Libra signet ring on my right
hand became the official
"Stinkin' Oarloff" stamp on all
letters bound with sealing wax.
The name of Daryl R. Lewis
appeared under the heading of
many off-beat stories. I once
wrote a story advising a
declaration of war on the moon
as a means of improving the
nation 's economy, for example.
I was probably suffering from
the same "Gonzo" reasoning as
Doctor Hunter S. Thompson ,
although to a lesser degree.
After a semester or so, involved with the local theatre
group, I decided to return to

something of value
Brea dth and depth
part 1
JAY C. ROCHELLE
PROTESTANT CAMPUS PASTOR
There is within me a certain naivete which, in the face of all
obstacles, persists. Despite so-called "evidences" to the contrary,
I still believe in the possibility of depth in religious commitment
as a direct spur into a broadening of one's concern for the world of
ideas, people and things. I am always genuinely surprised when
people use religion as a means to limit their intellectual, personal,
or social lives. In my simplicity I feel any God worthy of that exalted
Name would hardly bar me from exploring the fullness of mental
growth or intellectual discovery, but would rather rejoice in my
own deepening understanding of the world of whales and wombats,
sociological statistics and psychological insights. You don 't have to
be Jewish to believe that love of learning is a form of worship of
God.
I am firmly committed to two communities which I do not see as
mutually exclusive: the university and the church. That specific
denomination of Christians to which I belong, Lutheranism, was in
fact born on university soil as a movement by those fearless (and
foolhardly ) enough to oppose the received wisdom with a wisdom
felt to be deeper, broader , and more open than that of the status
quo. In short, academic troublemakers. The central philosophica l
principle of Protestantism may well be, as Paul Tillich suggested ,
its continual calling into question of all received knowledge, allegiances and institutions. Which ought to mean that the faith does not
need any protection or defense from either its rejection or pampering by the academic and intellectual crossroads we call a college.
In fact, it might even thrive in such a place.
For me, the faith I have in both these communities is a steppingstone for entry to the wider world, since I cannot conceive of my
faith as a means for hiding from the world. The community of care
and memory I know as the church is not given for the purpose of
easily distinguishing good guys fronrbad guys, but for expanding
love of one particular person into love for every person ; expanding
commitment to' one belief into an appreciation for all beliefs; expanding one instance of new life into the occasion for numerous
rebirths.
I do not expect a state college like Bloomsburg to go out of its
way to offer a form for religion of any kind: good, bad, or merely
boring. But often gentle reminders are necessary that there is a
pathway of faith available which neither opposes nor forces the intertwining of church and university, but is willing to use the depth
of one to encourage the breadth of another and vice versa. The
life of the spirit and the life of the mind are not opposed ; test tubes
and Christmases belong together, creating a life of depth and
breadth. How could it be any other way?

study-tour including visits to the
pre-historic caves of the Dordogne Valley, containing the art
of pre-historic man , and a stay
at a working farm , where some
of the students helped to feed
the livestock and all enjoyed
tasting the various foods
produced on the spot : the
poultry, bread, wine, cheese.
The group visited outstanding
examples of many periods of
architecture
Roman ,
Romanesque ,
Gothic ,
Renaissance, Classic, and
Modern , with stops in Perpignan ,' Carcassonne, Toulouse,

shows 'Roots '
Alex Haley has been the recipient of a number of awards, including five honorary academic doctorate degrees.. He is
scheduled to be the key note speaker for the Bloomsburg State
College History conference in February. The Human Relations
Planning Committee will co-sponsor his visit. As a preparation
effort, the Hum an Relations Committee with the assistan ce of Dr.
J. Mulka, Director of Student Activities, will sponsor , the ABC
showing of "Roots" in Kehr Union Coffee house January 23rd
through January 30. Below is a brief synopsis of a press release
about "Roots":
"Roots, " the emotionally shattering and historically unprecedented saga of the genesis of an American family,
dram atizing the lives of slaves and masters through generations
of individual men and women in times of turbulence and change,
airs a 12 hour , non-fiction "ABC Novel for Television" on the ABC
Television Network beginning in January o! 1977.
The David L. Wolper Production, which began its multi-part
filming on location in and around Savannah , Georgia, and continues on location in Southern-California , is based on Alex Haley's
landmark book of the same title.
The epic narrative, an eloquent testimonial to the mdomitability of the human spirit , involved 12 years of research
and writing during a half million miles of travel across three
continents. The story traces one American family, Haley's, from
the birth of a boy called Kunta Kinte in the Mandinka Village of
Juffure in the Gambia, West Africa , in 1750. The boys' abduction
to America as a slave leads to a fight for freedom of body and soul
that continued throughout his own life and the lives of the
generations that followed , in chains, on the plantations of pre-civil
war America .
The open ing chapter of "Roots" called "The African," stars
(alphabetically ) Maya Angelou, Edward Asner , LeVar Burton,
Ji-Tu Cumbuka , Louis Gossett , Jr., Lome Greene, Moses Gunn ,
Thalmus Rasulala, Robert Reed, Hari Rhodes, Paul Shenar , O.J.
Simpson, Ralph Waite , Ren Woods and Cicely Tyson.
The centra] role of Kun ta Kinte at the age of 17 is played by
Levar Burton , a young actor discovered in the Drama Department of the University of Southern California. Cicely Tyson plays
the boy's mother. Thalmus Rasulala — previously featured with
Miss Tyson in "The Autobiograph y of Miss Jan e Pittman" —
plays Kunta Kinte's father. The vital role of the consciencestricken captain of the slave vessel is played by Edward
Asner, with Ralph Waite as the ship 's third mate , immune to the
suffering in the slave hold.
Lome Greene is Kunta's first owner, and Louis Gossett, Jr.,
represents the boy's first friend — An American born in slavery,
knowing no other life.
Ren Woods, in her first starring role on film (she is currently
starring on stage in the Los Angeles production of "The Wiz ") ,
plays a young girl who is ki dnapped along with Kunta ; O.J.
Simpson is featured as the girl's father.
Emmy-winner David Greene ("Rich Man , Poor Man ) has
directed the opening script by story supervisor William Blinn
(Peabody-winner for "Brian 's Song ") and Emmy-winner Ernest
Kinoy The entire project is being produced by Stan Margulies
("Collision Course ," "I will Fight No More Forever ") with music
by Quincy Jones.

The POCKETBOOK IMPACT
Of POLITICS
Colleges Called System9s Best Hope
Ignorance of economics has Jed to an "ever-increasing flood"
of regulations, restrictions and taxes that are hobbling the nation's
ability to generate the $4 trillion in private investment and nearly
20 million new job s that will be needed by 1985, the chairman
of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. said recently.
In a speech to the first National Conference of University and
Business Leaders at Kent State Uni versity in Akron , Ohio, Charles
G. Pilhod said the nation 's colleges and universities represent the
best hope to counteract forces "that threaten to render free enterprise impotent and also are undermining the freedoms of the
education system."
He urged the education leaders to take the initiative in building
public understanding of the free enterprise system and mending
America's social and economic fabric.
Stress Positive, Government Told
Members of government should start emphasizing the positive
contributions of American industry, S. F. Miketic, vice president,

Trathen supports student ideas
by EILEEN CALLAHAN
If one person could epitomize
the successful Bloomsburg
State College graduate , he
would be Mr. John Trathen.
A business education major
who received both his
Bachelor 's and Master 's
degrees here, he was offered the
job of comptroller of Student
Activities after his January 1968
graduation . "And that ," .explained Trathen , "was back in
the days when jobs weren 't
scarce."
.
In '72 Trathen moved on to
become Assistant Director of
Student Activities, the position
he holds today. In this position
he has many responsibilities,
basically dealing with supervising the business operations.
As a member of the Union
Program Board , Trathen works
to encourage student projects .
Emphasizing the fact that his
job is to give guidance and help
when needed , he commended
the work of the students in
organizing special events.
A special project of Trathen 's
is the discount on school supplies in the college store. Not
many college's in the state give
the five per cent discount oh
textbooks.
Another project unique to
Bloomsburg, and the result of
the assistant director, is the
carpool listings for commuters,
as well as the many activities
scheduled for commuters
during the academic year. The
carpool itself is not unique in
these days 0*f oil spill after oil
spill ; the listing is the difference.
Commuting students are
listed alphabetically by town,
which Trathen feels is m ore
advantageous to the use of
carpools by students.
Through his many years here
at BSC, Trathen has seen many
changes in both faculty and
students , as well as administrative policies. .Back in
the 60's, the books were closed
to students who were inquiring
into the course their money took
after payment. Today, not only
are the books open to students,
but they are encouraged to take
an interest. "The openness and
availability of the records is a
great change in the business
policies of the school."
trathen also explained that
interns from business administrations are now employed by the department and
they are the ones who work on
targum crossword
such things as the budgets and
procedures. "The students are
extremely responsible in theip
positions."
As a student activities
director Trathen is in touch with
needs of the students. As a
Union program board member,
he feels that the need for the
Union itself as well as the many
activities it provides students is
very
important
in the
maturation process of college.
"There is only about 20 percent
of full time students time spent
in classes, the other 80 percent
is spent in social interaction,
and the Union provides a place
to blow off some steam. "
Trathen enjoys . his job
because it is constantly
changing in contrast to pushing
a pencil year after year ,
"Working with open minded
people from 18 to 30 is a constantly challenging situation ."
The Pennsylvania Legislative
Correspondents Association , an
organization of state government reporters based in
Harrisburg, will have a summer intern program again in
1977.
Two students,, who currently
are juniors, will be picked for
the 12-week program which will
begin in the late Spring. The
stipend for each student will be
$1,200. The program is open to
students attending Pennsylvania colleges and to Pennsylvania residents who go to
school out-of-state.
The interns will have the
opportunit y to work with
reporters from the Harrisburg
bureaus of; AP , UPI arid
Allentown , Harrisburg,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
newspapers. The emphasis will
be on reporting state government news and acceptable
stories will be published. Only
persons who plan to make
journalism a career should
apply for these internships.
The deadline for applications
is March 18. Entries postmarked after this date will not
be accepted. The PLCA
"Since you can't spend every
minute of your time studying,
programs such as Hollywood
Squares and the upcoming
Dance Marathon promote interaction between students ,
professors and deans. "
''The Union is the one place on
campus that promotes harmony
where students can both study
and enjoy themselves."
Onion Soup , fresh garden salad ,
and features Roast Beef au jus,
baked stuffed potato, green
beans almondin e and a choice of
coffee, tea or milk. For dessert
there will be French apple pie.
The price is $12.00 per person
and
is
definitely
not
unreasonablefor what it offers.
Unfortunately there are only 300
tickets available and they will
go on a first come, first serve
basis.
They may be obtained
through the banquet committee
now, and from January 23 to
February 3, a table will be set
up in Kehr Union from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Also beginning
January 31, a table will be set
up in the A-B Lobby of Scran ton
Commons from 4 - 6 p.m.
A sign-up sheet will be
available (February 1, 2 only!)
in the Commons during dinner
hours for those in need of
transportation. The banquet
committee strongly urges
everyone to take advantage of
this convenience.
The committee consists of

compiled by Wayne Palmer
What do you think about
the pass fail option?
Randi Matson — I like having
the option , however, I think the
deadline should be around midterm time, because it's hard to
know how a course is going to be
in just the first week and half of
school!!
Ed Breiner — I think it is a
fine program because it gives
students an opportunity to study
difficult subjects that may
interest them without the
pressure of evaluation.
Art Casale — I think the
present pass-fail option is good
just as it is. They should" not
change it!
. Terry Shoemaker — I think
they are a good idea since they
make you take junk courses you
shouldn 't have to get a grade
for .
Rick Rogers — I think it a
good idea because students are
given an opportunity to take a
course that interests them but
without the pressure of putting
in a lot of time for a grade. This
is my last semester and I'm
taking two courses pass-fail and
without them I would be in
trouble.
Sally Wilson — The whole
grading system as we know it is
of no value. Can a test truly
assess how much a student
learns? I don 't think it's fair to
average in a fail as an "E" but
not a pass as an "A". I think the
whole grading system should be
pass or fail to eliminate some of
the pressures of competition in
academia.
Mary Iturrichtcr — A passfail course is like an audit. You
can learn a lot without having to
worry about the grade. I think
it' s particularly good for
courses outside your major in
which your interest is the
mptfyator ior the work you do.
Vicky Hill — It takes pressure
off of you . That is, you don 't
have to worry about getting a
lower grade to pull your cum
down and therefore you may do
better in the course without the
extra tension.

You Can Still Take Army
ROTC During Your Junior

/

.
And Senior Years At
Bloomsburg State College
And Earn A Total Of
$2 ,500.00
-
>
Army ROTC usuall y takes four years of college but you can
do it in two.
^
.
^
If , for example you couldn't take Army ROTC during your first
two years at Bloomsburg State , or you just didn 't want to take
ROTC but now you recognize the benefits, you may still enroll
in the two-year program.
1
You start this program by going to our five-week basic camp
this summer at Ft. Knox , Kentucky.
Camp - A little classroom work; some challenging physical
training - replaces the basic course you would have taken during
your first two years . You 're well paid for this five-week catch-
•' . ¦
UP-
»
Then , after camp, you complete your advanced course during
your junior and senior years.
Maybe you'll decide that the chance to get real management
earlier than most people will be worth a lot later on.
Maybe you can use the $100.00 per month subsistence allowance you will get paid up to 10 months of each school year.
Maybe qualifying for two careers simultaneousl y - military
or civilian - is insurance against job uncertainties.
Maybe the opportunity for an Army ROTC scholarship, which
pays for tuition , books , lab fees , plus $100.00 per month , looks
exciting.
The Army ROTC two-year program is another chance for a
better career through Army ROTC.
The Deadline for A pplying is April 15, 1977.

Army ROTC - Learn What It Takes to Lead
Huskies fop York , Radocha breaks mark
Jerry Radocha scored 27
points breaking John Willis'
BSC scoring record , as the
Huskies basketball team, beat
York, 88-76.
The basket that put Radocha
in the number one spot on the
all-time BSC scoring list came
at 7:24 remaining in the first
half. Radocha's career total at
Bloomsburg stands at 1489
points , with
12 games
remaining on this year .'s
schedule.
The Huskies, now 10-2 on the
season, started off f ast. BSC
scored the first seven points of
the game, and held a 13-6 lead
before York mounted a
comeback . York scored the next
eight points to take a 14-13 lead.
The game was tied four times
before a three-point play by
Radocha put the Huskies on top
for good, 25-22. York stayed
close, though, trailing still by
three at 32-29. But the Huskies
outscored York 12-7 to hold a 4436 lead at the . half-way mark.
The Huskies kept it up in the
second half , leading by as much
as 13 at 54-4lrYork started to
make the game interesting as
they pulled to within five at 6863 with nine minutes to go. But
BSC outscored York by seven in
those last nine minutes for their
fifth win in a row.
The free throw line was
Bloomsburg's ally again, as it
has been for many games this
season . The Huskies hit on 24
free throws to York's 14, but
scored only one more field goal.
Four Huskies were in double
figures. Along with Radocha ,
Rick Joseph scored 12 points,
and Rich Evans and Jeff Mayer
both had 10 points . York had
only one man in double figures,
Scott Bartner , and with 38
points led all scorers.
Tomorrow night is an important Pennsy lvania Conference game for the Huskies in
their run for the East Division
title. Kutztown Sta te will be
traveling to Nelson Fieldhouse.
The Bears have a 2-2 conference
record (as of Monday) , one
game behind the Huskies. The
Huskies are in second place in
the standings with only one
league loss. In first place is both
Cheyney and Mansfield, with
undefeated league marks.
These two teams played each
other Wednesday night, so by
now only one team is ahead of
the Huskies.

An exhibition of watercolor painting by Bloomsburg native Donald
Hilderbrandt is now on display in Haas Gallery of Art on the Bloomsburg State College campus until January 28.
Hilderbrandt practices as a land and urban planner and is a
principal owner of Land Design/Research , a planning and architecture firm in Columbia , Maryland. He received his Bachelors
degree in Landscape Architecture from the Pennsylvania State
University in 1961 and a Masters degree from the University of
Michigan in 1963.
Watercolor painting has been a serious avocation of Hilderbrandt's
for the last ten years, growing out of a lifetime interest in the medium. Much of his appreciation of the rural landscape was fostered
as a youth while living in Bloomsburg. His training as a landscape
architect increased his interest, as well as his technical ability
in interpreting and presenting various images of landscapes. As a
watercoldrist, he often presents nostalgic images of the farming
and fishing industries, not just as a reminder of their rich heritage
but to reflect on the diminishing lifestyle of these essential industries. As a land planner, Don's interest in land focuses on the need
to conserve our natura l resources by planning and managing more
orderly growth of our communities.
