B-l bomber
program
by BARB FAHEY
In a program held last week
at BSC, Rick Montoro, past
state-wide president of the
Commonwealth Association of
Students, advocated the halt of
the manufacture of the B-l
Bomber. His work to stop the
bomber is part of an internship
he is serving in connection with
CAS and West Chester State
College.
Montoro mentioned
feasibility studies of the B-l
Bomber done as far back as
Kennedy 's presidency. The
study found the bomber obsolete in its conception and
application. The bomber was
again under scrutiny in the
Nixon Administration. The
study board , according ^to
Montoro, included in its personnel various people who had a
vested interest in the bomber 's
manufacture.
It is not only the cost of the
bomber v which
concerns
Montor o, but also the environmental dangers. The
resources which would be expended for the manufacture of
the bomber include 25 billion
gallons of fuel which the fleet
would use in the projected 25
year life span of the bomber.
Montoro stated that the noise
level of the B-l Bomber is 25 per
cent louder than the commercial Super Sonic Transports
which the United States banned
from landing on American soil
until this summer.
Another danger from the
Bomber is linked to its usage.
Nuclear warheads would be the
cargo of the manned bomber
Montoro found it to be absurd
that a manned bomber would be
used in flying at tree top level to
deliver a nuclear warhead.
"The crew would have no
chance at all. And it's quite
likely that the bomber would be
seen and stopped by missies
long before it was near any
target. The noise alone would
alert a country of an oncoming
attack ."
Montoro stated that he is not
an advocate from a radical
group. "Even admirals and the
John Birch society have said
that the Bomber is useless. It's
the taxpayers money going to
support a private industry that
is my concern ."

Committee pursues
full-time lawyer
by JULIE STAMETS
Matti Prima , chairman of the
CGA Lawyer Committee,
recently discussed issues
concerning the Committee itself , and the possibility of hiring
a new lawyer.
Prima stated that the Lawyer
Committee consists of five
students who are reviewing
lawyers. "In November we
started hiring a lawyer," Prima
stated. "He set up four dates
when he would be in his office to
advise."
In hiring the firm of Elion,
Lyons, and Wayne , Prima
stated that the Lawyer Committee came against a veto
from President McCormick
because the Commonwealth
Attorney-General had to
determine whether there had
been any conflict with the case
that is now pending between
McMurray vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"The Commonwealth AttorneyGeneral sent us a note saying
that it was perfectly legal and
that there was no conflict in the
way we set it up in our proposal.
We held pretty strong with
that ," Prima commented. "The
Administration was only being
careful ."
In discussing President
McCormick's actions in this
situation, Prima favored -the
decision. "I personally feel that
President McCormick did the
right thing. Any other normal
individual would have done it,"
Prima stated.
Presently, the Lawyer
Committee has paid the Elion,
Lyons, and Wayne firm for the
four advisory dates on which
the firm was available for aid ,
and has hired them again as
Prima states, "for continuity 's
sake."
The Lawyer Committee is
planning on sending a number
of bids to a variety of lawyers.
Prima feels that there has been
a very large response from
students which is favorable to
keeping the Elion , Lyons~and
Wayne firm. Prima added that ,
"it looks very favorable for the
Elion , Lyons, and Wayne firm .
If they are doing a good job, we
want to keep continuity . If not ,
we have that option open that
we can do away with them. If
we find something bettor ,
cheaper, or more efficient than
they have been producing, we
will JJO with what's best."
Prima rwnhasized that "if
there are any students that have
requests and concerning a
lawyer , they can always contact
me." Prima also stated that if
there are any real problems,
students can call him or leave
their telephone number at the
CGA Office and he will get in
touch with them.
Prima concluded by saving
that the Lawyer Committee
hopes to have a lawyer by the
end of March on a full calendar
basis. "We want to leave the
option open at the end of
December that the new
Executive Council, the new
CGA members, or both
together , can determine
whether they want to keep the
firm that we have hired."
' ' Representative Assembly will
moot Thursday at 3:30 in the Kehr
Union. At this time General EaV
cation Requirements along with
college calendar recomendations
will be discussed.
Non-assembly members will
have a chance to speak under
a throe minute limit. Attend to

matters.

NKOAABODZI
by Eric Yamoah
By ERIC YAMOAH
"What do you think of the
movie 'Roots'?" , "Is the
Mandinka a typical African
tribe?", "are the rituals and
customs presented in, the movie
true African ? "...these are some
of the questions those who
watched the movie asked me.
Unfortunately I have not read
the book, and I do not intend to
destructively criticize AlexHaley 's book or ABC' s
television series on 'Roots'.
Instead, there are certain observations I made about the
movie which I think are
"un African. "
First and foremost, the extended family system is very,
very important in that part of
Africa. Maybe the Mandinkas
did not believe in that in the past
but they definitely do now. A
whole family made up of
grandparents, uncles, cousins,
their children, and in some
cases, servants, all live under
one roof . I was therefore surprised to see Kunta Kinte move
into a new hut. The only times
when a Mandinka moves out of
his home is if he gets married
and wants to live with his wife in
a new home. Among certain
tribes of Africa-such as the
Bushmen-when a boy becomes
an adult, his father builds a hut
for him and he moves into it.
The Africans along the "slave
coast" do not do this. Kunta
Kinte was an adult not by
marriage, but by the rite he had
j ust gone through, and ordinarily he would not be expected to move into a new hut
until he got married.
Another "un Africanism " I
picked out concerns respect.
Respect for one's elders is very
fundamental in an African
society . It is "unAfrican " to
talk back to elders, no matter
who they are. Remember when
Kunta Kinte 's grandm other ,
Nyo Boto, confronted him about
making a drum for his little
brother? Well, Kunta Kinte's
talking back to his grandmother
is considered improper. Even
though this by no means shows
inferiority or domination, we
Africans do not talk back to
people who are older than we
are - we trust the older person's
j udgement.
Also when Bell (Kunta 's wife )
scolded Kizzy after finding out
that Kizzy could write her name
and Kunta Kinte kept mute. In
an African household, Kunta ,
who is the head of the
household, by virtue of his being
a man and the breadwinner,
would have taken care of the
situation. What happened on the
screen was in typical American
style where the woman is boss
at home. Even though this does
not show male chauvinism, the
male is almost always the one to
take care of very serious cases,
and 1 consider that a very
serious case since something
terrible might have happened if
"massa " had found out that
Black American
f ilm documentary
by GENE W. WALTERS
Donald Bogle will lecture and give a slide presentation on
"Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks," an interpretive
history of blacks in American films, on February 16, in the Kehr
Multipurpose Room at 2:15 p.m. Bogle's appearance is sponsored
by the College Arts Council and arran ged through the Office of
Cultural Affairs.
Bogle's book, "Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks ",
published by Viking Press, (1973) examines the sterotypes which
black actors have traditionally portrayed in films. Several films
will be examined ranging from Edwin S. Porter's 1903 one-reeler,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin ," to "Birth of a Nation " and"Shaft ."
Several black performers were interviewed by Bogle in his
research for the book, and he has formul ated his own theory of
how American blacks have been exploited in films. The topic
which he will .be discussing is "the gran d manner in which in
dividual black actors, through their talents and their ingenuity,
triumphed over the system to come up with really remarkable
and stimulating performances. " Bogle feels that , "blacks have
always been stereotyped in movies, but the great actors were able
to individualize these roles and make a personal statement."
The actors whose roles Bogle examines in his book include:
Stephen Fetchit, Paul Robeson, Rochester, Buckwheat, and
Dorothy Dan dridge. Bogle's discussion will also focus on contemporary black actors such as Sidn ey Poitier and Roscoe Lee
Brown.
The young black author began to learn about movies while
working as a story editor for Otto Preminger. The time spent
researching his book and "running out to the movies whenever
possible" allowed him to learn more about the history of blacks in
American films.
Bogle's interest in movies began to crystallize at Lincoln
University, where he served as literar y editor of the college
newspaper and class yearbook, and chairman of the University
Players. After finishing working for Preminger where he learned
"the behind-the-scenes conflicts, tensions and passions that go into
making successful films and careers" he went on to j oin Ebony
magazine. While on the staff of Ebony, he wrote man y stories and
feature articles.
Now working on a novel for Ban tam Books, Bogle recently
lectured on black film history at the Studio in Harlem.
There will be no admission charge for this event.
Kizzy indeed could write.
1 remember when I went
through the adulthood rite of my
tribe, one of the things we were
told was that "a man never
cries or shows his grief or anger
in public. " Even when a very
close relative dies, men are not
supposed to see Kunta Kinte
weeping bitterly when Fiddler
died. I realize that Fiddler
meant very much to him , but
ordinarily, an African man
would have shown his grief in
another manner - such as cutting
himself with a knife to shed
some "precious" blood for his
good friend , Fiddler , or
besmearing himself with ashes
and charcoal , or something
else. Here again I am not
blaming the producer of the
movie, I am just bringing out
certain things which to me
looked a little out of place.
Kissing after the "wedding"
was purely American. Kunta
Kinte had lived in America for
at least nine years when he got
married, and I would expect
him to be "Americanized" , but
I was not expecting him to kiss
the way he did. Kunte Kinte, as
you remember, did not want to
part with his African culture he wanted to be called Kunta
Kinte instead of Toby , he would
not eat pork when Fiddler of' fered it to him, etc. and I was
surprised he did not demand an
African (Mandinkan , for that
matter ) wedding.
In conclusion I thought the
movie was very good - at least it
brought out a lot of things I did
not know about slavery and-I
was impressed by the great
number of people who watched
"Roots". I am also amazed at
how some of the "white folks",
who have talked to me, utterly
condemn the senseless way in
which the "niggers " were
treated. However, one thing the
movie brought out , and which I
think is good, is the fact that the
"white folks" are not the only
ones to blame for slavery.

The exhibition "Crocheted
Assemblages of Herculon" on
display till February 25, in Haas
Gallery of Art , invites each
viewer to be his own mentor, for
each piece is undoubtably a
different personality to different
viewers.
These
biomorphic sculptures have
been created by Margo Allman ,
a most innovative and novel
artist.
Ms. Allman fashioned this
soft sculptural assemblage
using Herculon (a strong yet
soft and pliable yarn). The
entire exhibition consists of 75
black , forms of different
proportions, weighing close to
half a ton . A close look at these
fantastic pieces reveals the
crochet stitch Margo used "is
the same stitch many people
use to make clothes."
Margo chose black yarn for
her stuffed configurations
"because black is the basic
sculpturing color." Against the
white back drop one feels as
though he has just walked into a
semi-real land under water . The
pieces are simplistic; Margo
attributes this to the way she
created each piece, "I am
building out now, instead of
chipping away as I used to do
with wood and marble."
Margo also pointed out that
every time her work has been
on display the set up is different. "Each piece has arms
with hooks inside, this is where
the pieces are attached
together. Since all the hooks are
the same it does not matter
which piece gets connected to
another. " Because of its unique
assembly, Margo feels the
directors who set the exhibition

artisan as she is.
The come back of crafts as a
form of art has enabled Margo
to be so original in her ideas.
Yet, the only unique thing about
her crocheting is the synthetic
material she uses for her
sculptures. It may be back to
old fashioned craft ideas, but

Margo was born iff New York
City and grew up in New

as wood and marble. Her work
is acclaimed throughout the

in The Philadel phia Art

Dear Editor :
I would like to take exception
to your article IS B-l BOMBER.
WORTH IT? I must first
acknowledge the vast wisdom of
the author . Holly Miller must be
an expert in economics ,
military weapons and tactics,
political science, education ,
upper atmosphere physics and
have a very keen insight into
future military operations.
"If the B-l proposal is not
vetoed , we will have an
economic crisis, hunger ,
unemployment, racial tensions
and deterioration of our cities " wow
- after
attending
economics class at BSC I find
the opposite to be more factual.
"50 nationa l organizations
demand an end to this unnecessary system - wow - I
wouldn't know if it is necessary
or not but there is one thing I am
sure of. In order to determine if
this system was necessary or
not a person would have to have
current knowledge of potential
adversaries strength and
possibilities of their em-
article was directed at wanting
improvement in BEOG grants.
Good ! If there are funds
available to improve on the
grants then we should also think
of welfare , social security etc.
If the military operations of
this country find it necessary to
use 25 billion gallons of fuel in
aircraft in the next 25 years
then it will be done. The
question is whether we would
have them do it in 40 year old
planes. Surely you don 't
propose that we let our air fleet
age for another 25 years? Do
you really want this kind of a
military for 'your defense?
"We as students can help stop

pretty intelligent and generally

don 't bug them with silly letters
that have no foundation in fact.

The name may sound unfamiliar to the many people who
enjoy these activities , yet the
Program Board has been an
active part of campus life for a

committee. There are two exofficio advisors to the Board,
John Mulka , Director of Student
Activities and John Trathen , his
assistant. Trathen is present at
all meetings to assist officers,
committees and members of the
board.
The Board exists primarily
"to cooperate with all campus

well-coordinated and diversified social, educational and
cultural climate within BSC's
College Union. "
According to the Board's
main
constitution ,
"the

Has the program board
succeeded? It cannot be said
that programs sponsored by the
board have not at least tried to
involve every branch of the
college community .
When it was first started, the
HWR'S DAIRY
Program Board _ had three
purposes: First of all to plan,
implement and evaluate activities for the BSC community.
Secondly, to recommend
procedures and policies affecting the operation of the
Union to the Governing Board.
Finally, to assist other campus
organizations to plan activities
in the Union.
The Program Board has six
standing committees responsible for various jobs. They are:
recreation , which plans tournaments games, etc.; publicity,
responsible for advertising all
events; special events, who
sponsor educational forums , art
displays, etc. ; house, responsible for maintenance , decor
and clean-up after events ;
social, which schedules, implements, and evaluates dances, movies and general entertainment; and coffeehouse,
which arranges and handles
refreshments
for
their
programs.

Dear Editor :
...Took a no doubt very deep,
truthful and beautiful experience and commenced to
destroy it. Destroy with the
damage of commercials that
accompanied the showing of the
film . It was as if one had to be
consta ntly reminded that the
society and especially the
necessary institutions it supports, which was responsible for
this horrible experience to
Africans, is the same one that
was making it possible for one
to see it. Justification ?
The agony , pain and suff ering
of Africans, their customs and
beauty were overshadowed by
the constant reminder — "Hey,
it might have been bad then, but
look at you now. Look at all the
available things you can have —
commercial(s). You have come
a long way, buck." This was (is)
indirect condoning and an
appeal to the people so closely
identified with the experience
depicted, to sympathize , to look
at how things were, but don't
allow yourself to be totally
caught up in it; don't learn from
it. What other message could
one get, when every ten minutes
one saw a beautiful girl next to a
new 1977 model. In the midst of
agony, suffering, beauty and
struggle, the materalism of
man , the motive force , is
glorified.
Thus the car commercial
served to remind one that "you
came in a slave ship — but now
look at you. You can hop in a car
and be anywhere you wish."
The history of the rubber on the
wheels is irrelevant—now. The
airline commercials serve the
same function. Amidst terrible
beating by captors, one sees
suddenly a commercial for Ben
Gay. Is this meant to soothe the
pain? So it continues...hair
commercials, Fonzie, Happy
Days, the Union Song, previews
etc., all with the direct aim of
disallowing you time to reflect ,
think about what's happening.
To question. The most contradictory works and truths
coexist in happiness and indifference.
The critical aspect of man's
existance is being constantly
suppressed . To be critical and
struggle for truth is to struggle
against destruction . To the
extent that the operation of the
media, with its various anticritical devices serve to deny
this essential aspect of man's
existence, to that same extent it
furthers man 's destruction .

Radocha scores 24
by JACK BURNS
The Huskies fought off the
highly-touted Cheyney State
Wolves, 63-62, before a capacity
crowd at Nelson Fieldhouse
Saturday night, and proved.that
the BSC cagers are still alive. It
was the third straight victory
for the Huskies.
Rebounding was the key of
the game for the Huskies. BSC
prevented Cheyney from taking
several second and third shots
by outrebounding the Wolves,
36-19. Rich Evans led all players
with 14 rebounds.
Both teams came out of the
locker rooms fired up for what
turned out to be another
typically close BSC-Cheyney
game. The lead changed hands
eight times in the first half
before the Wolves scored the
final seven points of the half to
go into intermission with a 36-30
lead.
The Huskies, spurred on by
the enthusiastic crowd , knotted
the score at 40-all early in the
second half . BSC then outscored
the Wolves 17-10 to take a 57-50
lead. Cheyney then called a
time out at 8:17 to a thunderous
standing ovation for the
Huskies.
Cheyney came back strong
and took a 60-59 lead with 3:08
remaining in the game. Jerry
Radocha sank two free throws
to regain the lead for BSC. After
the visitors missed a couple of
shots , the Huskies got the ball
and attempted to run out the
clock. Cheyney was forced to
foul in order to get the ball back.
The Wolves fouled Radocha,
and he sank both ends of a oneand-one to give BSC a 63-60 lead.

swimmers put forth a dynamite
effort but weren't quite strong
enough to defeat Penn State last
Thursday. Many of the girls
participated in events which
they normally don't swim for a
change of pace. The girls swam
good times but were only able to
produce three first place
finishes against the mighty
Lions.
The first event of the afternoon was the 200 yd. Medley
Relay. The four women squad of
Brenda Gulp, Becky Heilman,
J. Pittman , and Sue Polang took
second with a time of 2:00.25.
P.S.U. won the race with a time
of 1:55.35. Next, Lori Kernmerer took a second place finish
in the 200 yd. freestyle, finishing
in 2:06.76.
Tina deVries, Wendi Schuck,

B-l bomber
program
by BARB FAHEY
In a program held last week
at BSC, Rick Montoro, past
state-wide president of the
Commonwealth Association of
Students, advocated the halt of
the manufacture of the B-l
Bomber. His work to stop the
bomber is part of an internship
he is serving in connection with
CAS and West Chester State
College.
Montoro mentioned
feasibility studies of the B-l
Bomber done as far back as
Kennedy 's presidency. The
study found the bomber obsolete in its conception and
application. The bomber was
again under scrutiny in the
Nixon Administration. The
study board , according ^to
Montoro, included in its personnel various people who had a
vested interest in the bomber 's
manufacture.
It is not only the cost of the
bomber v which
concerns
Montor o, but also the environmental dangers. The
resources which would be expended for the manufacture of
the bomber include 25 billion
gallons of fuel which the fleet
would use in the projected 25
year life span of the bomber.
Montoro stated that the noise
level of the B-l Bomber is 25 per
cent louder than the commercial Super Sonic Transports
which the United States banned
from landing on American soil
until this summer.
Another danger from the
Bomber is linked to its usage.
Nuclear warheads would be the
cargo of the manned bomber
Montoro found it to be absurd
that a manned bomber would be
used in flying at tree top level to
deliver a nuclear warhead.
"The crew would have no
chance at all. And it's quite
likely that the bomber would be
seen and stopped by missies
long before it was near any
target. The noise alone would
alert a country of an oncoming
attack ."
Montoro stated that he is not
an advocate from a radical
group. "Even admirals and the
John Birch society have said
that the Bomber is useless. It's
the taxpayers money going to
support a private industry that
is my concern ."

Committee pursues
full-time lawyer
by JULIE STAMETS
Matti Prima , chairman of the
CGA Lawyer Committee,
recently discussed issues
concerning the Committee itself , and the possibility of hiring
a new lawyer.
Prima stated that the Lawyer
Committee consists of five
students who are reviewing
lawyers. "In November we
started hiring a lawyer," Prima
stated. "He set up four dates
when he would be in his office to
advise."
In hiring the firm of Elion,
Lyons, and Wayne , Prima
stated that the Lawyer Committee came against a veto
from President McCormick
because the Commonwealth
Attorney-General had to
determine whether there had
been any conflict with the case
that is now pending between
McMurray vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"The Commonwealth AttorneyGeneral sent us a note saying
that it was perfectly legal and
that there was no conflict in the
way we set it up in our proposal.
We held pretty strong with
that ," Prima commented. "The
Administration was only being
careful ."
In discussing President
McCormick's actions in this
situation, Prima favored -the
decision. "I personally feel that
President McCormick did the
right thing. Any other normal
individual would have done it,"
Prima stated.
Presently, the Lawyer
Committee has paid the Elion,
Lyons, and Wayne firm for the
four advisory dates on which
the firm was available for aid ,
and has hired them again as
Prima states, "for continuity 's
sake."
The Lawyer Committee is
planning on sending a number
of bids to a variety of lawyers.
Prima feels that there has been
a very large response from
students which is favorable to
keeping the Elion , Lyons~and
Wayne firm. Prima added that ,
"it looks very favorable for the
Elion , Lyons, and Wayne firm .
If they are doing a good job, we
want to keep continuity . If not ,
we have that option open that
we can do away with them. If
we find something bettor ,
cheaper, or more efficient than
they have been producing, we
will JJO with what's best."
Prima rwnhasized that "if
there are any students that have
requests and concerning a
lawyer , they can always contact
me." Prima also stated that if
there are any real problems,
students can call him or leave
their telephone number at the
CGA Office and he will get in
touch with them.
Prima concluded by saving
that the Lawyer Committee
hopes to have a lawyer by the
end of March on a full calendar
basis. "We want to leave the
option open at the end of
December that the new
Executive Council, the new
CGA members, or both
together , can determine
whether they want to keep the
firm that we have hired."
' ' Representative Assembly will
moot Thursday at 3:30 in the Kehr
Union. At this time General EaV
cation Requirements along with
college calendar recomendations
will be discussed.
Non-assembly members will
have a chance to speak under
a throe minute limit. Attend to
voice your opinion on these
matters.

Crocheted ait;

NKOAABODZI
by Eric Yamoah
By ERIC YAMOAH
"What do you think of the
movie 'Roots'?" , "Is the
Mandinka a typical African
tribe?", "are the rituals and
customs presented in, the movie
true African ? "...these are some
of the questions those who
watched the movie asked me.
Unfortunately I have not read
the book, and I do not intend to
destructively criticize AlexHaley 's book or ABC' s
television series on 'Roots'.
Instead, there are certain observations I made about the
movie which I think are
"un African. "
First and foremost, the extended family system is very,
very important in that part of
Africa. Maybe the Mandinkas
did not believe in that in the past
but they definitely do now. A
whole family made up of
grandparents, uncles, cousins,
their children, and in some
cases, servants, all live under
one roof . I was therefore surprised to see Kunta Kinte move
into a new hut. The only times
when a Mandinka moves out of
his home is if he gets married
and wants to live with his wife in
a new home. Among certain
tribes of Africa-such as the
Bushmen-when a boy becomes
an adult, his father builds a hut
for him and he moves into it.
The Africans along the "slave
coast" do not do this. Kunta
Kinte was an adult not by
marriage, but by the rite he had
j ust gone through, and ordinarily he would not be expected to move into a new hut
until he got married.
Another "un Africanism " I
picked out concerns respect.
Respect for one's elders is very
fundamental in an African
society . It is "unAfrican " to
talk back to elders, no matter
who they are. Remember when
Kunta Kinte 's grandm other ,
Nyo Boto, confronted him about
making a drum for his little
brother? Well, Kunta Kinte's
talking back to his grandmother
is considered improper. Even
though this by no means shows
inferiority or domination, we
Africans do not talk back to
people who are older than we
are - we trust the older person's
j udgement.
Also when Bell (Kunta 's wife )
scolded Kizzy after finding out
that Kizzy could write her name
and Kunta Kinte kept mute. In
an African household, Kunta ,
who is the head of the
household, by virtue of his being
a man and the breadwinner,
would have taken care of the
situation. What happened on the
screen was in typical American
style where the woman is boss
at home. Even though this does
not show male chauvinism, the
male is almost always the one to
take care of very serious cases,
and 1 consider that a very
serious case since something
terrible might have happened if
"massa " had found out that
Black American
f ilm documentary
by GENE W. WALTERS
Donald Bogle will lecture and give a slide presentation on
"Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks," an interpretive
history of blacks in American films, on February 16, in the Kehr
Multipurpose Room at 2:15 p.m. Bogle's appearance is sponsored
by the College Arts Council and arran ged through the Office of
Cultural Affairs.
Bogle's book, "Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks ",
published by Viking Press, (1973) examines the sterotypes which
black actors have traditionally portrayed in films. Several films
will be examined ranging from Edwin S. Porter's 1903 one-reeler,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin ," to "Birth of a Nation " and"Shaft ."
Several black performers were interviewed by Bogle in his
research for the book, and he has formul ated his own theory of
how American blacks have been exploited in films. The topic
which he will .be discussing is "the gran d manner in which in
dividual black actors, through their talents and their ingenuity,
triumphed over the system to come up with really remarkable
and stimulating performances. " Bogle feels that , "blacks have
always been stereotyped in movies, but the great actors were able
to individualize these roles and make a personal statement."
The actors whose roles Bogle examines in his book include:
Stephen Fetchit, Paul Robeson, Rochester, Buckwheat, and
Dorothy Dan dridge. Bogle's discussion will also focus on contemporary black actors such as Sidn ey Poitier and Roscoe Lee
Brown.
The young black author began to learn about movies while
working as a story editor for Otto Preminger. The time spent
researching his book and "running out to the movies whenever
possible" allowed him to learn more about the history of blacks in
American films.
Bogle's interest in movies began to crystallize at Lincoln
University, where he served as literar y editor of the college
newspaper and class yearbook, and chairman of the University
Players. After finishing working for Preminger where he learned
"the behind-the-scenes conflicts, tensions and passions that go into
making successful films and careers" he went on to j oin Ebony
magazine. While on the staff of Ebony, he wrote man y stories and
feature articles.
Now working on a novel for Ban tam Books, Bogle recently
lectured on black film history at the Studio in Harlem.
There will be no admission charge for this event.
Kizzy indeed could write.
1 remember when I went
through the adulthood rite of my
tribe, one of the things we were
told was that "a man never
cries or shows his grief or anger
in public. " Even when a very
close relative dies, men are not
supposed to see Kunta Kinte
weeping bitterly when Fiddler
died. I realize that Fiddler
meant very much to him , but
ordinarily, an African man
would have shown his grief in
another manner - such as cutting
himself with a knife to shed
some "precious" blood for his
good friend , Fiddler , or
besmearing himself with ashes
and charcoal , or something
else. Here again I am not
blaming the producer of the
movie, I am just bringing out
certain things which to me
looked a little out of place.
Kissing after the "wedding"
was purely American. Kunta
Kinte had lived in America for
at least nine years when he got
married, and I would expect
him to be "Americanized" , but
I was not expecting him to kiss
the way he did. Kunte Kinte, as
you remember, did not want to
part with his African culture he wanted to be called Kunta
Kinte instead of Toby , he would
not eat pork when Fiddler of' fered it to him, etc. and I was
surprised he did not demand an
African (Mandinkan , for that
matter ) wedding.
In conclusion I thought the
movie was very good - at least it
brought out a lot of things I did
not know about slavery and-I
was impressed by the great
number of people who watched
"Roots". I am also amazed at
how some of the "white folks",
who have talked to me, utterly
condemn the senseless way in
which the "niggers " were
treated. However, one thing the
movie brought out , and which I
think is good, is the fact that the
"white folks" are not the only
ones to blame for slavery.

The exhibition "Crocheted
Assemblages of Herculon" on
display till February 25, in Haas
Gallery of Art , invites each
viewer to be his own mentor, for
each piece is undoubtably a
different personality to different
viewers.
These
biomorphic sculptures have
been created by Margo Allman ,
a most innovative and novel
artist.
Ms. Allman fashioned this
soft sculptural assemblage
using Herculon (a strong yet
soft and pliable yarn). The
entire exhibition consists of 75
black , forms of different
proportions, weighing close to
half a ton . A close look at these
fantastic pieces reveals the
crochet stitch Margo used "is
the same stitch many people
use to make clothes."
Margo chose black yarn for
her stuffed configurations
"because black is the basic
sculpturing color." Against the
white back drop one feels as
though he has just walked into a
semi-real land under water . The
pieces are simplistic; Margo
attributes this to the way she
created each piece, "I am
building out now, instead of
chipping away as I used to do
with wood and marble."
Margo also pointed out that
every time her work has been
on display the set up is different. "Each piece has arms
with hooks inside, this is where
the pieces are attached
together. Since all the hooks are
the same it does not matter
which piece gets connected to
another. " Because of its unique
assembly, Margo feels the
directors who set the exhibition

are just as much a part of the
artisan as she is.
The come back of crafts as a
form of art has enabled Margo
to be so original in her ideas.
Yet, the only unique thing about
her crocheting is the synthetic
material she uses for her
sculptures. It may be back to
old fashioned craft ideas, but
the plans are carried out by
materials processed by modern
day technology.
Margo was born iff New York
City and grew up in New
England and Chester County,
Pennsylvania. She started her
scul pturing career in materials
as wood and marble. Her work
is acclaimed throughout the
United States, and can be seen
in The Philadel phia Art
Museum and The Delaware Art
Museum. Her exhibitions have
won her numerous awards in
the field of sculpture. The Haas

B-l bomber
ployment. With this info and a
full knowledge of the political
situation relative to all nations
concerned then maybe someone
could make an educated guess.
If the 50 organizations have
such knowledge I would suggest
that they relay it to Washington,
D.C.
The National Peace Conversion
Committee
of
Philadelphia is trying to tell
large corporations to set aside
25 percent of their profits - come
on - now who in their right mind
would allow someone to come
into their home (or business)
and tell them how to use onefourth of their income? I'm sure
these corporations ignore this
advice just because they want
one of their company officers to
move to D.C.
Since World War II the U.S.
has spent 1.3 trillion to remain
number one among nations thank God they did - if it were
any other way, the author of
that article .would be in prison
for years to come (maybe the
editor also).

Dear Editor :
I would like to take exception
to your article IS B-l BOMBER.
WORTH IT? I must first
acknowledge the vast wisdom of
the author . Holly Miller must be
an expert in economics ,
military weapons and tactics,
political science, education ,
upper atmosphere physics and
have a very keen insight into
future military operations.
"If the B-l proposal is not
vetoed , we will have an
economic crisis, hunger ,
unemployment, racial tensions
and deterioration of our cities " wow
- after
attending
economics class at BSC I find
the opposite to be more factual.
"50 nationa l organizations
demand an end to this unnecessary system - wow - I
wouldn't know if it is necessary
or not but there is one thing I am
sure of. In order to determine if
this system was necessary or
not a person would have to have
current knowledge of potential
adversaries strength and
possibilities of their em-
article was directed at wanting
improvement in BEOG grants.
Good ! If there are funds
available to improve on the
grants then we should also think
of welfare , social security etc.
If the military operations of
this country find it necessary to
use 25 billion gallons of fuel in
aircraft in the next 25 years
then it will be done. The
question is whether we would
have them do it in 40 year old
planes. Surely you don 't
propose that we let our air fleet
age for another 25 years? Do
you really want this kind of a
military for 'your defense?
"We as students can help stop
Congress " What? We as
students can try to learn more
and in the meantime say a little
prayer for that Congress. These
men are pretty well informed ,
pretty intelligent and generally
have good intentions. Let's
don 't bug them with silly letters
that have no foundation in fact.

The name may sound unfamiliar to the many people who
enjoy these activities , yet the
Program Board has been an
active part of campus life for a
few years now.
The board is comprised of an
executive council , with a
president, vice-president and
secretary-treasurer , and
committee. There are two exofficio advisors to the Board,
John Mulka , Director of Student
Activities and John Trathen , his
assistant. Trathen is present at
all meetings to assist officers,
committees and members of the
board.
The Board exists primarily
"to cooperate with all campus
organizations...to develop a
well-coordinated and diversified social, educational and
cultural climate within BSC's
College Union. "
According to the Board's
main
constitution ,
"the
obligation is to stimulate and

Has the program board
succeeded? It cannot be said
that programs sponsored by the
board have not at least tried to
involve every branch of the
college community .
When it was first started, the
HWR'S DAIRY
Program Board _ had three
purposes: First of all to plan,
implement and evaluate activities for the BSC community.
Secondly, to recommend
procedures and policies affecting the operation of the
Union to the Governing Board.
Finally, to assist other campus
organizations to plan activities
in the Union.
The Program Board has six
standing committees responsible for various jobs. They are:
recreation , which plans tournaments games, etc.; publicity,
responsible for advertising all
events; special events, who
sponsor educational forums , art
displays, etc. ; house, responsible for maintenance , decor
and clean-up after events ;
social, which schedules, implements, and evaluates dances, movies and general entertainment; and coffeehouse,
which arranges and handles
refreshments
for
their
programs.

should the editor of this paper )

WILLIAM E. CROTHERS
Roots
Dear Editor :
...Took a no doubt very deep,
truthful and beautiful experience and commenced to
destroy it. Destroy with the
damage of commercials that
accompanied the showing of the
film . It was as if one had to be
consta ntly reminded that the
society and especially the
necessary institutions it supports, which was responsible for
this horrible experience to
Africans, is the same one that
was making it possible for one
to see it. Justification ?
The agony , pain and suff ering
of Africans, their customs and
beauty were overshadowed by
the constant reminder — "Hey,
it might have been bad then, but
look at you now. Look at all the
available things you can have —
commercial(s). You have come
a long way, buck." This was (is)
indirect condoning and an
appeal to the people so closely
identified with the experience
depicted, to sympathize , to look
at how things were, but don't
allow yourself to be totally
caught up in it; don't learn from
it. What other message could
one get, when every ten minutes
one saw a beautiful girl next to a
new 1977 model. In the midst of
agony, suffering, beauty and
struggle, the materalism of
man , the motive force , is
glorified.
Thus the car commercial
served to remind one that "you
came in a slave ship — but now
look at you. You can hop in a car
and be anywhere you wish."
The history of the rubber on the
wheels is irrelevant—now. The
airline commercials serve the
same function. Amidst terrible
beating by captors, one sees
suddenly a commercial for Ben
Gay. Is this meant to soothe the
pain? So it continues...hair
commercials, Fonzie, Happy
Days, the Union Song, previews
etc., all with the direct aim of
disallowing you time to reflect ,
think about what's happening.
To question. The most contradictory works and truths
coexist in happiness and indifference.
The critical aspect of man's
existance is being constantly
suppressed . To be critical and
struggle for truth is to struggle
against destruction . To the
extent that the operation of the
media, with its various anticritical devices serve to deny
this essential aspect of man's
existence, to that same extent it
furthers man 's destruction .

Radocha scores 24
by JACK BURNS
The Huskies fought off the
highly-touted Cheyney State
Wolves, 63-62, before a capacity
crowd at Nelson Fieldhouse
Saturday night, and proved.that
the BSC cagers are still alive. It
was the third straight victory
for the Huskies.
Rebounding was the key of
the game for the Huskies. BSC
prevented Cheyney from taking
several second and third shots
by outrebounding the Wolves,
36-19. Rich Evans led all players
with 14 rebounds.
Both teams came out of the
locker rooms fired up for what
turned out to be another
typically close BSC-Cheyney
game. The lead changed hands
eight times in the first half
before the Wolves scored the
final seven points of the half to
go into intermission with a 36-30
lead.
The Huskies, spurred on by
the enthusiastic crowd , knotted
the score at 40-all early in the
second half . BSC then outscored
the Wolves 17-10 to take a 57-50
lead. Cheyney then called a
time out at 8:17 to a thunderous
standing ovation for the
Huskies.
Cheyney came back strong
and took a 60-59 lead with 3:08
remaining in the game. Jerry
Radocha sank two free throws
to regain the lead for BSC. After
the visitors missed a couple of
shots , the Huskies got the ball
and attempted to run out the
clock. Cheyney was forced to
foul in order to get the ball back.
The Wolves fouled Radocha,
and he sank both ends of a oneand-one to give BSC a 63-60 lead.

swimmers put forth a dynamite
effort but weren't quite strong
enough to defeat Penn State last
Thursday. Many of the girls
participated in events which
they normally don't swim for a
change of pace. The girls swam
good times but were only able to
produce three first place
finishes against the mighty
Lions.
The first event of the afternoon was the 200 yd. Medley
Relay. The four women squad of
Brenda Gulp, Becky Heilman,
J. Pittman , and Sue Polang took
second with a time of 2:00.25.
P.S.U. won the race with a time
of 1:55.35. Next, Lori Kernmerer took a second place finish
in the 200 yd. freestyle, finishing
in 2:06.76.
Tina deVries, Wendi Schuck,
and Scilla Elliott went second,
third, and fourth consecutively
in the 100 yd. Individual Medley.
Co-captain Tina. O'Hora then

Cheyney 's Dana Clark then
sank a field goaf^ tp pull the
Wolves within one point at 63-62.
Keith Willis was forced to foul
Radocha with six seconds left.
Radocha missed the front end of
the one-and-one situation , and
Cheyney pulled down the
rebound and called time out
with three seconds left.
At least that' s what
everybody
thought ,
but
Cheyney coach John Chaney
vehemently protested that the
clock should be set back to five
seconds. The officials agreed
and Cheyney had the ball under
the Huskies basket.
The inbounds pass went to
Clark, who dribbled down the
court and took a 20-foot shot
from the top of the key that hit
the back of the rim and bounced
away, giving the Huskies a
mighty important victory.
Radocha spearheaded the
Bloomsbur g attack with 24
points, with Evans and Al
Williams contributing 12 and 10
points, respectively .
Cheyney was led in scoring by
Milton Colston , who is their
leading scorer on the season, as
he scored 14 points.
BSC's record in the Pennsylvania Conference eastern
division is now 6-3 (14-4
overall). Cheyney dropped to 62 (11-7 overall) , l% games
behind Mansfield. The Mountaineers
defeated
East
Stoudsburg 76-75, in overtime on
Saturday.
The freshmen contest was
won by the Huskies, 97-87, in a
thrilling game.
