Survey seeks direction

Overpas s update - "Need concrete duta^

BY ANN MARIE JEFFERS
Though
the
overpass
feasibility study is still not
much more than a proposal,
steps are being taken at present
to diminish Lightstreet Road
and Penn Street intersection
hazards.
Besides the State Police radar
traps, relocation Q£ traffic signs
and increasing the illumination
of the area threefold at night,
flashing yellow traffic beacons
are scheduled to be installed
within 60 to 75 days, weather
permitting. These lights will

cost between $10,000 and
$15,000, and the college is
footing the bill.
Vice President of AdF.
ministration
Boyd
Buckingham explained that
before the college could fund
this project, it needed the approval of the Pennsylvania
Department of.. Education
Comptroller's Office.
Before money for the
feasibility study can be
released from the budget, the
request must follow the same
course. Mr. Buckingham has

sent PDE Comptroller Grover
McLaughlin an account of the
situation with the current and
planned improvements to the
area.
The comptroller must then
contact the Attorney General 's
Office for review of the plan.
Legal matters involved include
the property rights along
Lightstreet Road , where
possible overpass locations will
be studied if the proposed study
warrants construction. Mr.
Buckingham expects a reply
from Harrisburg within a short

Mr. Abel, who has been
working with , the Overpass
Committee, stated that without
the study, "all we can do is
guess. We need concrete data."
He believes if PennDOT can't
supply the necessary data , the
study must be done. The
Housing Director added that
cooperation of the town and its
officials has been overwhelming.
Matt Legge stated that he
"sensed some negative feelings
among the student body.
People who are not affected by
the situation don 't understand."
Mr. Buckingham also expressed concern for those who
have to cross Lightstreet Road.

In the event that CGA doesn't
get the money from the administration's budget, the only
Mr.
alternative
other

Buckingham saw
Alumni Association.
If the money is obtained, CGA
can take action necessary in
engaging an engineering firm .
In the meantime,. Chairman of
the CGA Overpass Committee,
Matt Legge, is looking into ways
to cut the cost of the survey.
Some of the possibilities in
trimming the $4,000 estimated
cost are checking to see if
PennDOT can do the survey, or
have the engineering firm use
data from a previous PennDOT
survey of the area in drawing up
the study.

Presently, the only solution
for pedestrians who cross
Lightstreet Road is to exercise
extreme caution and hope that
motorists do the same. The
entire overpass matter , including the feasibility study, is
up in the air. Money, of course,
is the determining factor. If and
when the study is done and the
need for an overpass is shown,
funding of that project will be
another crucial matter to solve.
But , I suppose we'll have to
"cross that bridge when (and if)
we come to it. "

The PennDOT survey that
was previously done is not as
thorough as the one proposed by
CGA ; however , Housing
Director , John Abel, noted that
it did show a need for some sort
of pedestrian walk way.
The Overpass Committee is
presently waiting for replies
from PennDOT and the
Columbia County Planning
Commission , who are reviewing
the specifications sent to the
engineering firms.

Once again the popular topic
of the overpass was brought up,
but this time in a different
perspective. Mr. Buckingham ,
Vice President of Adhas

blinking red and yellow lights
and new signs to be placed
along Lightstreet , " which will
begin in Spring .
At the last "marathon "
meeting of .CGA, allocation for
three buses to transport
students to and from the JuniorSophomore banquet was
passed. Upon the reading of the
President's Reply, it was noted
that the allocation of the money
needed for the buses was vetoed
by President McCormick.
Paul Blow, a soccer player
here at BSC, injured his leg
while playing in a game last
semester. Although reluctant to
"pick up the tab" for this
hospitalization , CGA felt that if
they didn't pay the money,
there was a chance for them to
be sued. The insurance company refused to pay the $576,65,
so after some discussion as to
whether they should pay the bill
or not, and have the chance of
being sued hanging over their
heads, CGA decided it would be
best to take the necessary
money from the Husky Contingency Fund. A new policy is
being worked on so that in the
future CGA will only have to
pay a maximum amoun t of
money.
Speaking on behalf of the
American Society of Personnel
Administration (ASPA), Alan
Pedcrsen put in. a funding
request of $409.00 to sponsor a
trip to the Missouri State
Conference in St. Louis. At the

conference, the members will
attend workshops along with
for ty other schools arid receive
the awards coming to them.
Following a small debate about
costs of traveling expenses, and
in inconveniences, the motion
was passed for them to receive
the money.
Other topics passed with very
little discussion were the
following subjects. The final
draft of the Awards Policy was
passed, in which a service key
will be awarded to students
earning 30 credit points, instead
of earning money or credits.
Money was also allocated to the
Horticultural Club, Off-Campus
Student Association , and
Women's Tennis. The amount of
money allocated to these
organization was $100, $120, and
$280, respectively.
Topics for discussion, needing
additional research , included
the possibility of buying a few
trailers to be placed on the hill
going
Nelson
towards
Fieldhouse, The new trailers
would be used for students
whose homes are found in
uninhabitable conditions, or, as
a result of a fire, are forced to
move out and have nowhere to
go. The purchasing of Deadwood Flats, an old replica of a
Western town located on Rt 11,
two or three miles outside of
Bloomsburg, was also brought
up. Possibly this land , with its
building, could be bought and
used for student housing.
With the parking situation as
it is on ESC Campus , there is the
possiblity of laying gravel on a
small area behind the library to
provide more parking places.
The present parking lot is also
under' rc-design to provide for
more space.

WE CAN ONLY ENFORCE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS...explained head of the Blooms^|
burg Town Council Ed Kitchen at Monday's Town-Gown Committee meeting. The topic
of discussion was tenant-landlord relations in cases where substandard conditions exist.

CAS meets

Vaughn named advisor

The "explosive" issue of the
B-l Bomber boycott and a visit
by state-wide CAS Presiden t
Nate Gadsden were highlights
of the Executive Council
meeting of CAS held Tuesday in
,
the Kehr Union.
Gadsden, at the executive
meeting, said that he was
pleased at how smoothly the
Bloomsburg branch was getting
on its feet. He also mentioned
the "pending possibility of a
tuition increase." "Th e budget
is not out yet but is is hoped that
the announcement will be made
in the near future," he continued , "It is now, more than
ever, that students need to
become aware of the situation
in Harrisburg."
The recent B-l Bomber
program , was directed by Rick

Montoro , was discussed at the
meeting. Montoro stated that ,
"The B-l Bomber is a weapon
that even admirals have called
obsolete . «It is a superfluous
waste of taxpayer 's money ."
Montoro said he was in
agreement with a senator who
stated , "Even if it could stand
on its tail on top of the Pentagon
it would still be a weapon in
search of a rationale."

Q

Other matters of business
which were discussed included
a fun draiser, the next meeting
of the general body scheduled
for February 22, and a combined leadership and cultural
awareness workshop to be coordinated by the local CAS
President , Pierce Atwater, and
Minority
Representative
Willard Bradley.

Atwater set the goal of CAS'
Bloomsburg bran ch at talking
to each member individually to
see what gripes they have about
BSC, and to write up the
changes they would like to see
take place in existing policies at
BSC.
At a-meeting of .the, gen eral
body h eld last week, it was
announced that Joe Vaughn, a
Biology professor at BSC, has
accepted the post of advisor to
CAS. Also at that meeting, the
approximate total of studen ts
who joined CAS in the recent
mail-in membership drive was
tallied at 678.
Treasurer Elyn Rysz stated
that there were some mix-up s at
the Business Office and continued saying that when they
are cleared up the new number
will be announced;

The Horror of the Campus
P UANE LONG

Housing guarantees
No student , no person, should be forced to live in a house
without heat and water.
It would be difficult to find someone who disagrees with
this , but if students find themselves in this situation is there
really any effective recourse for them to take?
A case in point is a house located on Fetterman Avenue.
A while ago the tenants, students, reported to the town
building code inspector. Bud Albertson, that they had neither
heat nor water. They were requested to evacuate the dwelling and Albertson contacted the landlord in an attempt to
affect repairs. When they were completed the students
would be given the right of way to move back in;
Well , that 's the end of the story because Albertson has
never heard from either the landlord or the tenants. For
all he knows they could still be living there cold and dry .
The reason things are still up in the air is because all
the legal channels , except taking the landlord to court have
been exhausted.
There are no guarantees that the landlord is going to
carry through the demands of the housing code and as a
side effect the students are left homeless.
What the students and the townspeople need are a few
guarantees. If a landlord provides housing that fails to conform to safety guidelines it should be his responsibility to
find his tenants alternative housing.
Situations like the one above threaten the health and
safety of people 's lives. What is called for are tighter laws
regulating housing code enforcement beginning on the local
level and conforming to state and federal regulations.

Congratulations to ISC! You
finally have some concern for
the bloodthirsty of the campus.
You moved ISC bid distribution
back to a weekday. YOu really
do care about the sadists of
BSC.
As some may recall, last
semester I wrote a column in
the form of a complaint to ISC
(Inter-Sorority
Council)
because of their negligence for
the well-being of many students
at BSC.
Unlike previous semesters,
ISC pulled a fast one last fall
and distributed bids to prospective pledges on a Saturday
instead of a weekday. I men-

with my nightmares?"
"Nothing much. It' s just a
general statement about your
dreams — something dormant
has become active, causing you
to dream about it."
"Do the cards say what it is?"
"Yes they do. The ninth
house : Death — There is a
death of a political figure ;
political up heaval; disaster. I'll
give you the classical
description of the card as well:
A skeleton rides a horse that has
trampled over a fallen king and
draws close to a child and a
woman. A bishop, his hands
raised in prayer awaits the
skeleton 's coming. There is a
river in the background which
flows io the sea , whence the
water will be drawn up by the
sun into clouds , and then fall
onto land, replenishing the
streams and rivers — flowing
back to sea again . This symbolizes the constant circulation
of the life force that comes into
materialization and then flows
out again.
"What the hell does that
mean?" Nancy Oliver asked.
"It means that Bill's dream
contains some element of a
death of a public official, and
that the survivors are a woman
and child," I said.
"Oh wow!"

"What' s wrong, Bill?'- I
wondered.
"The nightmares are about
my Uncle Jason ; The mayor of
Warminster — my home town.
He was hit by a semi on the
Turnpike, about three years
ago, and rushed to the hospital
where he was operated on and
placed in intensive care."
"Uncle Jason died the next
day. His wife, six-year-old
daughter, and Bishop Simon
Kalter administered* the last
rites — just like the bishop in
the card: awaiting death' s
coming."
"How does your uncle appear
in your dreams?" I asked.
I dream about going to the
hospital to visit Uncle Jason.
Only when I get there, and enter
his room, he's lying in bed with
a sheet pulled over him . I reach
over to take off the shroud, and
he grabs my arm . Then I wake
up."
"Is that all?" Stuart Dunbar
queried.
"Not quite, Wart. There's
this..."
Bill TroxelLpulled up his shirt
sleeve and showed us what lay
beneath. There, outlined by
black and blue, was the bruised
imprint of a massive human
hand...

tioned that it wasn 't fair to the
sadistic and masochistic factions on campus because it was
denying them of sheer pleasure.
I also compared the bid
distribution to the 1968 riots at
the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago . Who can
blame me. Anyone who wanders about idlely in the Union
during this hair-raising event is
throwing his or her body at the
mercy of the holocaust .
However there may be those
that are not quite sure how
sorority bid distribution works
or what it is even about . Since
there is a rather large audience
for this event (which is today,
incidentally) it is very likely
that there are many that are not
invol ved in the Greek system
and are therefore a bit in the
dark about the whole matter.
A. girl rushing a sorority must
first list her preference as to
which sorority she would like to
pledge. If she gets a bid from
her first preference , she must
pledge that one. If she doesn 't
get a bid from her first but from
her second , then she must
pledge there, and so on .
And that's when the action

starts; action more stimulating
than the cockfights in the days
of old, more elating (according
to one Burger King employee)
than bobbing for french fries,
more exciting than slides of the
B-l bomber , and funnier than
your everyday barrel of
monkeys.
Today is the day for this
terrifying event, an event that
will get anyone's blood boiling.
Amidst it all thera will be the
competition
among
the
sororities to see who can yell the
loudest as the masses of bodies
sprint toward each other only to
clash in an outburst of tears. It
has any pep rally beat, but who
cares, nobody is into pep rallies
anymore ,
except
for
cheerleaders (this includes
former cheerleaders because
we all know that old
cheerleaders never die) and
winos.
It is a relief to know that our
lives will no longer be dreary.
We have bid distribution to look
forward to .
But when it is all over and the
day grows darker , we have to
wonder , 'How many of the
future pledges survived it all?'

WE NEED HEAT
Dear Editor :
During the past several weeks
and presently, the state of Pa.
is experiencing one of the
coldest winters in history. As a
result, many schools have been
closed and several extreme
measures have been taken in
order to conserve gas power.
Considering the present energy
crisis, conservation of our
resources is most important.
I'm sure that most anyone will
agree. On the other hand, coal
powered BSC has remained
open with the exception of the
Fieldhouse during the weekend
and a limited laundry room
access. This was all fine and
dandy until classes began on
Monday. If you happened to
attend any classes in either
Hartline or Bakeless I'm sure
you realized how cold it was. To

sit in a cold classroom is not
only uncomfortable it is
downright unhealthy. If one
takes his coat off , one will
shiver which makes it difficult
to take notes and to take your
eyes away from the clock. If one
leaves his or her coat on to
remain warm , when one goes
out of doors he will no longer be
warm. Although it is importan t
to conserve energy the health of
the student body is more important. After all we're paying
for the heat. This is a matter
which can not be dealt with
haphazardly, as it has been. It is
time for Mr. Buckingham or
President McCormick to either
close down the college or leave
it open and supply the heat
necessary for it to function
without freezing the students
into sickness.

the "music" that I am constantly subjected to while

It's been a long trip down the
road to recognition for singersongwriter
Al
Stewart.
Although possessing a considerabl e hard core cult
following in the U.S. since the
1969 release of Love Chronicles,
Stewart failed to achieve the
commercial success in this
country he 's enjoyed in his
native Great Britain.
With the release of Year of the
Cat late last year, Al Stewart
has further refined and
enriched the musical direction
first charted on Past , Present
and Future (1974). The thrust of
the Stewart sound is a tight,
rhythmic flow of music (including many overdubbed
e m b e l l i s h m e n t s ) , complemented by poetic lyrics with
the uncanny capacity to evoke
clear, mental imagery,
Stewart' s musical career
began in the middle 60's in
Glasgow, Scotland , on the pub
and college circuit . He worked
with a number of rhythm and
blues bands for a time, but soon
began working on his own
material, finally taking off to hit
the folk circuit as a one-man
act. The name he made for
himself during these years
landed him a recording contract

Wi^:&> $&.

with England' s Columbia
Records, under which he turned
out four albums between 1968
and 1971. Of these, only Love
Chronicles was released in the
U.S.
Past , Present and Future ,
Stewart' s second American
release, is a historical-concept
album , consisting of eight
songs, each telling a story about
one decade in the twentieth
century. This L.P. resembles
Love Chronicles more than the
current Year of the Cat in that
the emphasis is placed more on
lyrics than music. Stewart
freely admits that he made a
concious effor t to develop the
musical sound of his albums
after the release of Past,
Present and Future, in hopes of
producing a commercially
successful single. The initial
result was Modern Times,
released , in early 1975. While
receiving a considerable
amount of F.M. airp lay,
Modern Times failed to make it
commercially.
With Year of the Cat , Stewart
seems to have at last achieved
his goal. The successful single is
the title cut , which has been in
the Top Thirty for most of the
winter .
Handling the production
chores for the album was Alan

Parsons, who, besides touring
and making albums with his
own band, The Alan Parsons
Project, also has two critically
acclaimed Ambrosia L.P.'s to
his production credit. Musicians
included guitarist Tim Renwick
(also of Quiver , half of
Sutherland Bros, and Quiver) ,
as well as George Ford and
Stuart Elliot (from Cockney
Rebel , another Parsonsproduced band) on bass and
drums, respectively.
Stewart dismisses any
suggestion that he has compromised himself artistically in
consciously attempting to
create a commercial success :
'Logically and musically," he
nsists, "it's a lot better than the
ast one. Because the songs
j ump right out at you, it sounds
nore commercial , but so
what?"
Al Stewart appears on
campus at Haas Auditorium on
Wednesday, February 16, along
with Wendy Waldeman. The
show begins at 8:00 p.m. Tickets

dormatories ) , I would welcome
the change and the opportunity
to experience first-hand my own
school's radio station. It seems
a waste to have a radio station
that does not reach a major
portion of the student body, that
is, those who do not reside on
campus. And it is a fact that the
Union is the one place on
campus where commuters and
off campus students alike
gather to eat and relax.
Good music can be a balm to
the mind and body, but while
listening to the tedious strains
of "When will I touch
youuuuuuu..." it is impossible
to keep from cringing. Please
pull the plug on the juke box and
give our radio station a chance

THIS IS CGA
Dear Editor :
"l direct my question to the
Students and staff members
alike : How many of you have
ever gone to a CGA meeting? I
have, and in so doing, received
quite a surprise. I was interested in seeing how this
organization, which rules over
the entire student body, handles
the decision-making process
invested in them by every
student who voted last spring.
When things like starting the
meeting fifteen minutes late
and members , including
executive officers , were leaving
the room in the middle of a
discussion, began to happen, I
became quite disheartened.
How 'can any of these people,
who missed part of the debate,
form an opinion and vote
honestly?
I must give credit where

credit is due. There are many
competent leaders involved in
CGA, and many benefits have
been provided through this
organization . They have made
such accomplishments as
providing scholarships to
worthy students, getting extensive progress made on the
overpass situation , and are
presently initiating an action to
get the parking situation improved on campus.
Maybe the bulk of the
problem lies with the student
who does not attend the
meetings, is not informed, but is
the first to complain about what
is or is not being done. They
need our support . If just a
fraction of the student
population would attend these
meetings as an unbiased, third
party , we could voice our
opinion and show them how we
feel on the many proposals that
are presented to them. More
than one-half of the general
public present at the January 3
meeting were there in an effort
to gain allocations of money for
their organization or club. Is
that all CGA is to us - the money
supplier of this campus?
Sure, one of their jobs , is to
provide money, but.there is so
much more they can and have
done, if we work with them.
CGA works for us; therefore,
I urge you, the students, to go to
the next meeting and observe
your student government in
action . I also urge you, the
faculty and administration , to
attend and voice your opinion or
many highly significant matters. Many more things need to
be called to your attention than
you think. Both students and
faculty have ' a right to know
what's going on, and possess the
power to change it .

FUNERAL FOR THE FAMILY
my father is screaming
blood, while my brother hides
in his bedroom,
while my mother stands

and I walk away,

anyone's blood but my own .as
I walk through the inside of the

knowing my family, soon, will
surely die.

Wagner retired
Neufer hired
by JAY JONES

Richard Neufer is the Campus Security staffs new Director of
Safety and Security here at BSC, replacing Mr. Wagner who recently retired from that position.
Mr. Neufer has been on the Campus Security force for nine years
before taking over this new facet of his job. Previous to becoming
a Campus Security member Neufer, like all members of the staff ,
underwent six weeks of training at the Law Enforcement Academy at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
Neufer says he enjoys working here at BSC very much and feels
that we are better off here in many ways when compared to a lot of
other colleges. He believes that presently the biggest problem facing Bloom is the theft and vandalism crisis but still says that crimewise we are more fortunate than some other schools. Neufer thinks
that the students here are "just great" and in the nine years he
has been at Bloom he has had only one really serious incident with
a student, which is a credit to both Nuefer and the people here at
school,
Another important thought Neufer brought up was that he believes
students are finally beginning to understand that the Campus Security is here mostly to help students and not to simply look for trouble
or write out tickets.
Like the majority of the student body Neufer also thinks that the
one thing Bloom is desperately in need of is much more parking
space for the students.
Neufer is a man who knows and cares about BSC and its' student
and we wish him luck in his new position.

which would require the
cooperation of the entire
student body.

In closing, Ed Kitchen made
reference to the overpass
situation on Lightstreet Road.
The luminousity of the existing
lights has been increased
threefold. He mentioned the
proposal of installing a blinking
stoplight in lieu of an overpass.
The committee was also in?
formed that if an overpass is
approved and built anyone
crossing and not using it would
be prosecuted.

Do you feel the energy
crisis is an omen of
the future?

Darlene Duran (Soph.) - No. I
don't really think that there is
any big energy crisis right now.
They are just trying to scare
people into thinking that we
have a bigger problem than
what there really is.

D.A. Superdock (Prof. Phys.)Energy crisis will be recurring
events. We simply must face a
future in which energy will be
less available and more expensive and conceivably
sometimes not available at any
price.

Matt Connell (Sr.) - Yes the
energy crisis is an "omen of the
future. " This shoul d be an incentive to find other ways of
providing energy such as
nuclear and solar. It is up to us
to get the government to study
new and different ways of
providing energy.

Mike Bur khart (Soph.) - Yes,
definitely. I think the matter
has been taken for granted by
many people and now the time
|has com e where a major crisis
lis on our hands.

Joseph Garcia (Prof. Phys.) Yes. The increasing rate of the
growth in population is rapid
enough to absorb in a matter of
days all the energy that may be
conserved today.

Barb Hagan (Soph.) - People
will ease up on the use of
natural gas for only a while.
Just as with the past gasoline
crisis, people only conserved for
a while. As soon as the government deregulates nat ural gas
prices, and the prices go up,
people will be just as selfish as
ever.

APSCUF offers 4 scholarships
Four cash scholarships - for
$1,000, $500 and two for $250 will be awarded to winners of an

The APSCUF Scholarship

was established in the summer
of 1976.
CONTEST RULES
Entrants may submit an
original essay on any aspect of
energy conservatiuon or may

Winners will be announced no
later than April 15, 1977, b ut; the
awards will not; be made until
shortly after the , beginning of
tho 1977 Fall Semester.

.Joe Surdoval (Soph.) -1 believe
the present energy crisis shows
the necessity of implementing
new form s of energy production
such as solar power as well as
revamping the old methods.
Locally, the state coul d save a
lot of fuel and money by
repairing
the
campus
steamllnes.

Kim Ch iodo (Sr.) - The country
is in big trouble if its people and
leaders can 't come up with an
energy system that is reliable
and economically sound.
Americans are selfish and
greedily consumptive — and
spoiled. If we can 't learn to live
at lower levels of consumption ,
tho country will eventually
drain all its resources.

CCAA.discusses
new bus. ma j or
by BARB HAGAN

Recommendations for Category II Proposal for a Bachelor of
Science Degree in Office Administration and the college
calendars for the 1978-79 and 1979-80 were the major items
approved at the last meeting held by the Coordinating Committee
on Academic Affairs.
Category II proposal for the BA in Office Administration was
reviewed by a CCAA subcommittee and it was decided that the
degree program be recommended to the Representative
Assembly for approval.
This new program offers preparation for office administrators.
Those people interested in business who do not wish to be in
accounting, business administration, business teaching, or
marketing would be given the chance to pursue an office job in
administration. This program is one of the newer programs in
many colleges and offers a wide range of jobs~ for females
interested in administration. *
When students complete this course of study they will be
prepared to dp usual office work along with administrative j obs,
organization, communications, and supervision of office
personnel. It offers students with a college degree the chance to
strive for more than a secretary job.
The CCAA moved to endorse the report by the subcommittee
and this report will be presented before the Representative
Assembly sometime in the near future.
0
A proposed calendar for the 1978 thru 1980 college years was
reviewed by the committee. Tfi e calendar considered was drawn
up by Robert D. Warren and provides for the completion of finals
before the Christmas break in Semester I, with the semester
beginning in August.
Semester II of Warren's calendar begins on January, 16 and
ends on May 20. Spring brea k and Easter recess were also
included in these calendars. Another item included in the
proposed calendars was a reading day before the start of finals.
This would give students a day in between the last day of classes
'
and the start of finals.
The calendar would also provide approximately the same
amount of class hours for classes meeting either Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, and those meeting Tuesday and
Thursday.
A calendar proposed by the English Department extending the
semester over Christmas was ruled out .
The CCAA has reviewed the calendars by Warren and they are
being sent to Representative Assembly for approval or denial.
The last item of business was the policy of academic "good
standing," at BSC. Vice-President Robert O. Wolfe expressed his
concern about the present policy dealing with "good stan ding,"
and felt that the present figure of a 1.25 after 18 credits is too low.
It will be further discussed at thenext CCAA meeting to be held on
February 15.

Pay procedure revised

As per a memo from the
Financial Aid office dated
January 17, 1977,' a revised
procedure for paying student
employees working for Community Activites (CGA-funded
organizations) , Kehr College
Union, College Store or College
Trust Fund will beocme effective March 14, 1977. This new
policy does not include any
student who is currently being
paid by State or Federal
Workstudy
programs.
However, if students are
receiving checks by both the
State-Federal payroll and any
of the aforementioned offices,
then this policy affects those
students also.
Beginning March 14, 1977, all
students will be paid by the

College Payroll office , regardless of where payroll was
made in the past. In order for
students to be paid, the belowlisted procedures must be
followed. No exceptions will be
made to this policy.

2. Students who have not
submitted this form and blue
job application card must do so

suppor t both in America and
Europe. Every year , the
program has been expanded to
include many more students

for next summer j obs.
American-European
Student

Service (on a non-profitable
basis) is offering these jobs to
students for Germany, Scandinavia , England , Austria ,
Switzerland , France, Italy, and
Spain. The jobs consist of
forestry work, child care work
(females only ) , ' farm work ,

and some other more qualified
jobs requiring more specialized

customs of Europe. In this way,
a concrete effort can be made to
learn something of the culture
of Europe.

Someth ing of value

A young man

by JAY C. ROCHELLE
PROTESTANT CAMPUS PASTOR
My first •j ob/when I was about ten years of age, was delivering a
weekly newspaper in Philadelphia. This task yielded me no great
flow of cash , but it did keep me in chocolate fountain sodas and
that grand addiction of lower middleclass America, the machin e!
Down at the corner was "Mr. B's", local habilitation of pinball
freaks of all ag es. Mr; B, a kindly old soul, . sold candy
and sodas and soft pretzels and mag azin es (this
was before the time of Playboy) and had a small but effectiv e
bank of machines against the back wall. The players were a
random lot : there was Paul Silverman , forty years of age, who
would take his lunch break from butchering across the street at
his father's mom-and-pop grocery, and who was the n eighborhood
idol, since he never failed to hit games. There was Tim McGrath,
who took out his leftover hostilities from being both a Korean
veteran and an Irish Roman Catholic in violent forays ag ainst the
five-balled bandits. There was Ronnie MacNet, alias "Piggy", so
called for his obvious lack of all human manners, and whose key
claim to fame was to have been focibly ejected the most times by
^
normally mild-mannered Mr. B.
As the refining process of both age and being oneof the only kids
to escape the neighborhood via the college education set, I turned
from my childhood amusement to more cultured forms of entertainment: tennis, bridge, and so on...you know the routine,
perhaps. But nine years ago, George came into my life. George
owned the local hoagie shop directly across the street from
Muhlenberg College in Alientown, where I was currently a pastor
at St. John's Lutheran Church. George and I *became close
friends, since we were of the same age and background. Unfortunately, George did not have the culture of a 'college
education ; he only knew how to make money, so when the local
vendors came round and suggested he turn one wall into pinball
heaven, he gratefully acceded. When the first row of spanking
new machines came in, George said, "how long's it been since
you've..." and both of us were immediately hooked again...On his
quarter. I told you he was a friend.
Today you can still find me furtivelysneakinga buck into High
Han d or joinin g forces with Al and Mike to turn the odds ag ainst
the Elton John Wizard or, when ego needs an immediate boost,
doing a quarter in Top Card ( clearly the cake machine of all
times'.). I had once developed an elaborate philosophical theory
about playing machines or "dinging" (a word unknown in 1948
when I began); «you know the kind of stuff: man against machine,
tests of physical and mental dexterity against the robot
technological culture and all that blah. Well, let me tell you this :
the machines of England and Ireland are nothing compared to
American machines. There is some kind of crazy fascination in
doing pinball , and I don't think I'm going to bother to analyze it
today...or tomorrow, for that matter. After three weeks of fairly
deep and thought-provoking columns, I thought I owed myself and
anyone who reads me, a break. So if you'll pardon me, I just hit
six games on High Han d and I'll talk to you later. Wh ere are you,
Tom Lan gan?

Freeze y our buns off

By ED HAUCK
"School's out ! School's out!"
Oh, don't you wish that those
cries of glory were true. Well,
due to the fact that BSC is run
on coal won't help the matter.
Besides, what would you do
anyway? The dorms would be
closed so you couldn't stay
around this wonderful place just
to party, which many people
seem to do all the time. A few
suggestions were handed into
the CAMPUS VOICE during
this past week wh en the
"Phoney", and I do mean
phoney, pranks were played on
the upstanding institute of

Bloomsburg State College. And
here they are:
Go Home! The obvious and
probably the most favorite
selection of the throng, but what
would you do after three hours
of homelife. You'd be bored and
want to come back to good 'ol
BSC to be with your friends or to
party or even (God forbid) to
study and learn. Which is really
why we_ are here. Or is it?
You could stay at your
frien d' s house who lives
downtown. Of course after one
night with them they'd probably
throw you out on your ear
because you're worse than a

dog to handle. You could stand
the chance of losing good
• friends that way.
Go skiing. But then who the
hell wants to freeze their buns
off!
" Miami-Fort Lauderdale here
J come. This way you could get
a jump on the rest of the collegehigh school crowd, but then
once you get there the place is
going to be empty.
All in all, it boils down to the
fact that whatever would be
decided , you would never be
satisfied so the administration
has decided to keep the school
open and all of you little kiddies
must now stick to your books,
love your profs and don 't talk to
strangers.

by HOLLY MILLER
The Recreational Committee,
a sub-committee of the Coordinating Committee on College
Life, had its third meeting on
February 1 in the President's
Lounge. Once again they
established their main target-to
secure open recreation .
The main discussion was the
opening of Centennial's main
Gym until 12:00 or 1:00 a.m.
during the week, and possibly 24
hours on the week-ends , with
the intentions to reduce the
amount of people that use the
Fieldhouse. Another reason for
this r ecommendation stems
from Centennial's convenient
location.
A recommendation was made
concerning the bleachers in
Nelson 's main gym . The
bleachers are put out too early,
according to members of the
committee and they are left out
too long. The suggestion was
made that the custodians wait a
little longer to put out the
bl eachers and have the
students , who are waiting to use
the courts, help put them back.
Paul Janssen reported that
the state has not yet approved

the four foot high fence that is to
go around the top of the parking
lot by Elwell, which leaves this
project at a frustrating standstill. Janssen also mentioned
that the construction of the
basketball courts by Luzerne
will begin as soon as the ground
thaws.
The meeting adjourned at
7:30 p.m. The next meeting will
be on February 15 in the
President's Lounge.

Swimmers open with two win s

BONNIE EPLETT
The women 's swim team
started their '77 season last
week. The girls defeatedLehigh
80-50, Tuesday, and then
triumphed over Lock Haven
with a score of 87-43 the
following Friday. The girls
showed their strength during
both meets by setting eight
team and pool records.
LEHIGH MEET
The meet against Lehigh
started with BSC's 200 Individual relay team of Brenda
Culp, Amy Williamson, Ardith
Bader and Mollie Mandell
winning with a time of 2:05.6.

Then Laurie Kemmerer set one
of the many team records with a
2:06.9 in the 200 yd. freestyle
and Jane Lamon took a second.
Keeping with the BSC pace,
Carla deVries and Wendi
Schuck took first and third in
the 100 yd. individual relay.
deVries' time was 1:09.5.
Tina deVries and Culp took
first and second during the 50
yd. back stroke . deVries '
winning time here was 33.1.
Next was the 50 yd. breast
stroke, with Williamson taking
a second for Bloomsburg. In the
50 yd. free, freshman Ann
Fadner set a new team record

of 26.2. Bader, also a freshman,
broke the 50 yd. fly record with
a time of 29.2. Mandell took
second in this event.
One meter diving was next in
line. Sue Purnell took second
behind Lehigh's Frannie Stoup.
Mandell and Terri Pittman
swam 100 yd. fly taking a
second and third. Ann Fadner,
then climbed back on the blocks
and set her second record for
the day in the 100 yd. free,
bringing home a 58.1 time, while
Tina O'Hora was right behind
her to take second.
Tina deVries proved victorious with a 1:14.4 in the 100
yd. backstroke , and Culp
backed her with a third. Next it
was Bader who broke her
second record in the 500 yd.
free. Bader took the event with
a time of 5:55.6. Lamon and
Williamson concluded their day
with a second and third in the
100 yd. backstroke. Pat Seither
took the 3 meter diving with a
point total of 150.65. Lehigh took
the last event, the 200 free relay,
clocking in at 2:05.6.
ON TO LOCK HAVEN.
VICTORY
The girls then travelled to
Lock Haven, amid the blizzard
conditions. Obviously the

weather didn't phase them as
they trounced their opponents
87-43. The girls apparently
made their mark a lasting one
by setting four pool records in
the first six events.
The 200 yd. medley relay
team of O'hora, Williamson,
Bader and Fadner won with a
2:00.68 time. Kemmerer broke
the record she set Tuesday in
the 200 yd. freestyle , lowering
her time from 2:06.9 to 2:06.72.
Lamon followed her in taking
second. Lock Haven took first in
the 200 yd. I.M., but the deVries
sisters took second and third
respectively . O'hora and Culp
also took second and third to
Lock Haven's Joy Surdbert who
set a pool record in the 50 yd.
back, clocking a 29.1.
Setting the next pool record
was Williamson who with freshman Lamon , took a 1-2 sweep in
the 50 yd. breast stroke. Amy 's
time was 34.8. Again, Fadner
displayed her talent setting a
new pool record in the 50 free,
with a 26.5. Mandell gathered a
third place in this event. Freshmen Kemmerer and Bader
captured the first two places-in
the 50 yd. fly with Kemmerer
winning it with a 29.1. Sue
Purnell, not quite getting her

dives together, took second on
the 1 meter board.
Kemmerer and Mandell
captured first and third in the
100 yd. fly. Kemmerer set
another pool record with a
1:04.9. Fadner and Wendi
Schuck placed first and third in
the 100 yd. freestyle , Fadner
winning with a 58.2. Co-captains
O'hora and Tina deVries took
second and third in the 100 yd.
back "behind Joy Sudbert of
Lock Haven. Bader then broke
her 500 free record she set at
Lehigh bringing her time down
to 5:52.2.
Williamson and Lamon then
took a first and second in the 100
yd. breast stroke. Amy set yet
another pool mark of 1:16 flat.
Pat Seither finished second in
the three-meter diving in back
of Nancy Crouthamel who
racked up 193.65 points. In the
last event of the day, BSC's 200
free relay squad of Bader,
deVries, Mandell and Fadner
swam to a new team record of
1:48.6.
The girls will meet Penn State
away Thursday, February 3.
They swim at home against
Shippensburg Tuesday,
February 8 at 3:00 p.m.

Cagebali rules exp lained
Slocum named to PATC
Cqgeball clinic

Slocum named

EILEEN CALLAHAN
In a clinic held for girls participating in Women 's Intramural
Cagebali, Joan Brown, head co-ordinator of WRA , explained the
rules of the game.
Cagebali is played on a court similar to volleyball, but there are
a few differences in the rules. The gam e is playe d with a medicin e
ball, and ten to twelve players may be on the court ai onetime.
As in volleyball, any overh ead obstruction and the floor are out
of bounds. However, all walls are in bounds.
Another rule peculiar to cagebali is that the ball may be touched
any number of times by an individual or team before puttin g it
over the net . However, players may not reach over thenet .
Each team is limited to one 10-second time out per game.
This year there has been a surprising lack of participation in the
intramural sport , sponsored by WRA. Th ere are only seven teams
participating in the sport this year.
The season, which began Wednesday, January 26, will wind up
February 3 in the final game of the play-offs.
This year 's games, which has been an intramural sport for the
past three years, will be held in Centennial Gym.

Women hoopsters
face tough KSC

Senior forward Ellen French,
will lead the Bloomsburg State
College women 's basketball
team into a tough game at
Kutztown on February 5 at 2:00.
Bloomsburg is 2-2 this season
with victories against Scranton
and Kutztown and losses to
LaSalle and Shippensburg.
French, who sometimes plays
at center, scored 19 points in the
three games she has played this
season and is BSC's all-time
leading scorer with 461 points
during her career. She scored
118 points during her freshman
season and holds that team
record as well as the
Huskiett.es' single game scoring
record of 27 points .
Sophomore guard Jayne
Yurasi ts, had 21 points in BSC's
64-62 overtime victory against
Kutztown last week for this

season's high total. Some of the
other top performers for Coach
Joanne McComb are junior
center Julie Ludrof , sophomore
forward and center Terri
Mangino, junior forward Mary
Balaban , and sophomore guard
Susan McKeegan.
Kutztown is 3-2 now with wins
over Shippensburg, King 's, and
Northampton County Community College and losses to
Villanova and Bloomsburg.
Coach Elaine Santo's team is
led by guard Linda Kauffman
who scored 20 points against
BSC last week. Forward
Sue Mcrrit scored 17 points
during that game. Although the
Huskiettes have defeated
Kutztown five times during the
last three seasons, a very
competitive game is expected
at Kutztown.

Election to this office took place
during the Society 's recent
annual meeting at Grossinger's
in New York.
Slocum is in his fifth year as
head trainer at Bloomsburg
State and is responsible for the
sports medicine program for
the Huskies. A graduate of
Dakota Wesleyan University,
he received his physical
therapy certificate at the
University of Pennsylvania.

Slocum will chair the Public
Relations Committee and serve
as a member of the Society's
Certification and Membership
Committee. The Pennsylvania
Athletic Trainers Society is the
state professional organization
for athletic trainers, with over
90 per cent , of athletic trainers
employed by high schools,
colleges, and professional
teams in its membership. The
Society is instrumental on
Improving the status of health
care to athletes at all levels of
competition.
